WHEREAS, GAHR formed the Company under the name “Trilogy REIT Holdings, LLC” under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (6 Del. Code §§ 18-101, et seq.) (as amended from time to time, the “Act”) by the filing of a Certificate of Formation (the “Certificate”) with the Delaware Secretary of State on August 26, 2015; and 
WHEREAS, GAHR and NHI desire to set forth their respective rights and obligations as members of the Company, among other things, in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, GAHR and NHI hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE ONE 
DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATION
Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the respective meanings assigned thereto in Annex I attached hereto and incorporated herein for all purposes of this Agreement (such definitions to be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of the terms defined).  When a reference is made in this Agreement to Sections, subsections, Appendix or Exhibits, such reference is to a Section, subsection, Appendix or Exhibit to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated.  The words “include”, “includes” and “including” when used herein are deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation.”  The word “herein” and similar references 

mean, except where a specific Section or Article reference is expressly indicated, the entire Agreement rather than any specific Section or Article.
ARTICLE TWO 
 
ORGANIZATION
2.01    Formation and Continuation.  The Company was formed as a limited liability company upon filing of the Certificate pursuant to the provisions of the Act on August 26, 2015.  The rights and liabilities of the Members shall be determined pursuant to the Act and this Agreement.

The Company is authorized and empowered to do any and all acts and things necessary, appropriate, proper, advisable, incidental to, or convenient for the furtherance and accomplishment of its purposes and for the protection and benefit of the Company, including all acts and things permitted under 

2

the Act and this Agreement.  Unless a Member agrees in writing, no third party or creditor of the Company shall have recourse against such Member for any liability of the Company.
2.05    Structure.  The Company shall own all of the common ownership interests of Trilogy Real Estate Investment Trust, a Maryland statutory trust that will elect to be taxed as a REIT (“Trilogy REIT”), and the Company shall serve as the sole trustee of Trilogy REIT.  The Company shall cause Trilogy REIT to issue preferred ownership interests to 100 or more persons.  At the Effective Time, Trilogy REIT shall own initially approximately 96% of the ownership interests of HoldCo.  At the Effective Time, HoldCo shall own indirect ownership interests of, and shall have general management control over (i) Trilogy OpCo Finance, LLC (“OpCo”), (ii) Trilogy PropCo Finance, LLC (“PropCo I”), (iii) Trilogy PropCo II, LLC (“PropCo II”), and (iv) Trilogy Pro Services, LLC (“Pro Services”) and their respective subsidiaries.
2.06    Term.  The term of the Company commenced on the date of filing of the Certificate with the office of the Delaware Secretary of State in accordance with the Act and shall continue until the winding up and liquidation of the Company and its business completed in accordance with Article Eight.
2.07    Qualification in Other Jurisdictions.  The Manager shall cause the Company to be qualified, formed or registered under assumed or fictitious names or other limited liability company statutes or similar laws in any jurisdiction in which the Company owns property or transacts business if and to the extent that such qualification, formation or registration is necessary in order to protect the limited liability of the Members or to permit the Company lawfully to own property or to transact business.  The Manager shall execute, file and publish all such certificates, notices, statements or other instruments necessary to permit the Company to conduct business as a limited liability company in all jurisdictions in which the Company elects to do business or to maintain the limited liability of the Members. 
2.08    No State-Law Partnership; Tax Treatment.  
(a)    Except as provided in Section 2.08(b), each of the Members agrees and acknowledges that the Company is not intended to be treated as a partnership (whether as a limited partnership or otherwise) or joint venture under applicable state law, and that no Member is intended to be treated as a partner or joint venturer of any other Member under applicable state law, and neither this Agreement nor any document entered into by the Company or any Member relating to the subject matter hereof shall be construed to suggest otherwise. 
(b)    The Members intend that the Company be treated as a partnership for federal and, if applicable, state and local income and other tax purposes.  The Company and each Member shall file all tax returns and otherwise take all tax and financial reporting positions in a manner consistent with such treatment, and no election to the contrary shall be made.

3

2.09    REIT Status.  
(a)    The Manager and the Members acknowledge that Trilogy REIT and certain Affiliates of the Members (each a “Qualifying Entity”) intend to qualify and remain qualified as REITs, and agree that the Company and the Subsidiaries shall operate in a manner that does not adversely affect any Qualifying Entity’s status as a REIT.  As such, in order to preserve each Qualifying Entity’s qualification as a REIT under the Code, the Manager and the Members shall use reasonable best efforts to, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to:  
(i)    Operate the Company and the Subsidiaries in such a manner as would allow each Qualifying Entity to qualify as (and to continue to qualify as) a REIT and cause Trilogy REIT to form a subsidiary that will be taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and that will join with Trilogy REIT to make a “taxable REIT subsidiary” election under Section 856(l) of the Code, which subsidiary will form one or more subsidiaries to lease “qualified health care properties,” as defined in Code Section 856(e)(6)(D)(i), from certain subsidiaries of Trilogy REIT and to own certain pharmacy and rehabilitation businesses; provided, however, that such taxable REIT subsidiary shall not, directly or indirectly, operate or manage a “health care facility” as defined in Code Section 856(l)(4)(B);
(ii)    Operate the Company and the Subsidiaries in such a manner so as to not subject any Qualifying Entity to any additional taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code;
(iii)    Cooperate with one another to provide one another with (i) any information reasonably requested for the purposes of verifying that Trilogy REIT is organized and operated so as to qualify for taxation as a REIT and (ii) any other reasonably requested information necessary for each Qualifying Entity to comply with the requirements necessary to qualify as a REIT under Code Section 856; and
(iv)    Not engage in any transaction (or cause the Company or any Subsidiary to engage in any transaction) that could reasonably be characterized as a “prohibited transaction” subject to tax under Code Section 857(b)(6) without the prior written Consent of all Members.
(b)    The Manager shall provide the Members with quarterly asset and income tests within twenty-five (25) days after the end of each quarter and shall provide the Members with annual asset, income and distribution tests within thirty (30) days after the end of each year.
(c)    If requested by a Member, at the Company’s expense, the Manager shall obtain and provide to such Member an opinion from outside counsel to the Company reasonably acceptable to the Manager as to the qualification as a REIT of Trilogy REIT.  The Manager’s inability to obtain such an opinion shall not be a violation of this subsection or a breach of this Agreement so long as (i) the Manager has used commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such opinion and (ii) the failure to obtain such opinion is not a result of any action or inaction by the Manager that Manager knew or should have known would cause Trilogy REIT to fail to qualify as a REIT.  If the 

4

Manager is unable to obtain such opinion, then NHI shall have the right, at the Company’s expense, to seek to obtain such opinion.  
ARTICLE THREE 
MEMBERS AND CAPITAL
3.01    Members.  
(a)    Each of the parties to this Agreement shall be a Member of the Company until such Person ceases to be a Member in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.  Each Member shall have the rights, powers, duties, obligations, preferences and privileges of a Member as set forth in this Agreement. 
(b)    No additional Members may be admitted to the Company except (i) to the extent agreed upon by the Qualifying Members as a Major Decision, or (ii) for Permitted Transferees pursuant to Article Six hereof.  Any distribution by the Company to the Person shown on the Company’s records as a Member or to its legal representatives, an assignee of the right to receive distributions as provided herein, or an Unadmitted Assignee shall acquit the Company and the Members of all liability to any other Person who may be interested in such distribution by reason of assignment or Transfer of a Member’s Units for any reason.
(c)    No additional Members shall be admitted to the Company if the admission of such Member would: (i) cause the Company’s assets to be deemed to be “plan assets” for purposes of ERISA, (ii) cause the Company to be deemed to be an “investment company” for purposes of the Investment Company Act, (iii) materially violate, or cause the Company to materially violate, any material applicable law or regulation, including any applicable United States federal or state securities laws or (iv) violate any other applicable law.
(d)    The names, addresses, initial Capital Contributions, Units and Percentage Interests of the Members of the Company are set forth on Appendix A to this Agreement.  Appendix A shall be revised from time to time by the Manager to reflect the withdrawal or admission of Members, the Transfer of Units by Members pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the issuance of additional Units in respect of additional Capital Contributions made to the Company by the Members in accordance with this Article Three, and to reflect any other change in the information set forth therein. 
3.02    Formation and Acquisition Capital Contributions.  
(a)    Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, each of the GAHR Partnership and the NHI Partnership shall have caused GAHR and NHI, respectively, to contribute the amount set forth next to such Member’s name on Appendix A hereto as the Member’s initial Capital Contribution.  GAHR and NHI agree to contribute additional capital according to their respective Percentage Interest as needed by the Company prior to Closing in order to cover (i) any and all costs or expenses related to pursuit costs and (ii) amounts needed to cover any loan underwriting and commitment fees, ticking fees and related costs due to KeyBanc pursuant to 

5

KeyBanc Commitment Papers.  This Section 3.02(a) shall not inure to or be for the benefit of any third-party beneficiaries, including any creditors of the Company.
(b)    At least seven (7) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Manager shall deliver to the Members a draft of a reasonably detailed settlement statement for the Closing setting forth the amounts due from the Company at Closing pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement and related closing costs, and the amounts that each of the Members shall be responsible for funding, which shall be pro rata in accordance with each Member’s Percentage Interest.  The Members shall provide the Manager with any comments to such settlement statement within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof, and the Manager shall make itself available to discuss any such comments with the Members.  The Manager shall deliver to the Members a final settlement statement (which shall reflect revisions based on the Members’ comments that the Manager deems appropriate in the Manager’s reasonable discretion) no later than one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date.  Each of the GAHR Partnership and the NHI Partnership shall cause GAHR and NHI, respectively, to contribute to the Company the amount set forth on the final settlement statement for which such Member is responsible.  Any amounts funded by a Member that are in excess of the amount actually due from such Member under the Equity Purchase Agreement (including but not limited to any amounts subject to post-closing adjustments) shall be refunded to the Member within two (2) Business Days of the Closing or, if resulting from a post-closing adjustment under the Equity Purchase Agreement, the date the amount is paid to the Company, as applicable.  The Manager shall provide any Member that has failed to the fund its required Capital Contribution pursuant to this Section 3.02(b) with written notice of such failure, and, if the Member does not cure such failure by the Closing, then the Member shall be in breach of this Agreement and shall result in (i) the defaulting Member’s loss of any and all voting, consent and approval rights provided in this Agreement, (ii) the funding Member having the right to fund all or a portion of the amount for the defaulting Member pursuant to Section 3.03(c), with all rights and remedies associated therewith and (iii) the Company and the non-defaulting Member having any and all rights and remedies otherwise available at law or equity; provided, however, that a Member shall not be considered in breach of this Agreement (x) for failing to fund its Percentage Interest of any final settlement statement item that such Member believes in good faith is incorrect, it being acknowledged and agreed that a Member may not contest the amount of the purchase price or any third party expense items for which the third party has provided a reasonably detailed invoice, or (y) if such Member subsequently contributes the unfunded capital to the Company and the Manager, on behalf of the Company, accepts such funds, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably conditioned withheld or delayed. 
(c)    Outside of capital contributions due in connection with Closing which are addressed above in Section 3.02(b), each Member shall fund its respective Percentage Interest of any other amount due from the Company pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement, within two (2) Business Days’ written notice from the Manager. 

6

3.03    Additional Capital Contributions – Mandatory Contributions.
(a)    From and after the date hereof, upon the Manager’s determination that (i) additional Capital Contributions to the Company are required to fund “Identified Initiatives” as set forth in and in accordance with the Approved Business Plan (each, a “Committed Capital Call”), or (ii) additional Capital Contributions to the Company are advisable or necessary to pay for Necessary Expenses (each, a “Necessary Capital Call”), the Manager shall have the right to call for additional Capital Contributions from the Members in accordance with this Section 3.03; provided, however, that (A) the Manager shall not be required to seek third-party financing in lieu of, or prior to, making a Committed Capital Call if the Approved Business Plan contemplates the use of equity capital for the transaction or matter at issue, (B) the Manager may only make a Necessary Capital Call if it determines that third-party financing is not reasonably available timely or on commercially reasonable terms, as determined by the Manager (in its reasonable discretion), (C) the Manager may only make Committed Capital Calls in the amounts specified in the Approved Business Plan in accordance with the purposes set forth in the Approved Business Plan, and (D) the Manager may only make Necessary Capital Calls for up to Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) in the aggregate.  In furtherance of the foregoing, in the event the Manager elects to make a capital call pursuant to this Section 3.03, the Manager shall provide a written notice to the Members setting forth (i) the aggregate capital needs, (ii) the amount of each Member’s share of the Company’s required additional capital needs (which shall be based on each such Member’s respective Percentage Interest), (iii) if a Committed Capital Call, the section of the Approved Business Plan requiring the capital or, if a Necessary Capital Call, a reasonably detailed description of the Necessary Expenses, and (iv) the date by which such additional Capital Contributions are due, such date not being earlier than (x) with respect to Committed Capital Calls, thirty (30) days following the receipt of the capital call notice or (y) with respect to Necessary Capital Calls, five (5) days following the receipt of such capital call notice.  Each Member shall contribute to the Company its share of such required additional Capital Contribution by the due date as determined in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.
(b)    Any Member (a “Declining Member”) that fails to make a mandatory additional Capital Contribution pursuant to Section 3.03(a) when due shall not be considered in breach or default of this Agreement.  The only remedies available to the Company or any other Member for a Declining Member’s failure to make a mandatory additional Capital Contribution pursuant to Section 3.03(a) shall be limited to those remedies described below in this Section 3.03.
(c)    Upon a failure of a Member to make a mandatory additional Capital Contribution pursuant to Section 3.03(a) when due and the designation of such Member as a Declining Member (the amount such Declining Member fails to contribute defined as the “Declined Contribution”), in addition to making its own Capital Contribution then due, a non-Declining Member may (but shall not be obligated to) fund the amount of the Declined Contribution by either (i) making an additional cash contribution to the Company of the amount thereof, which will be deemed to be an additional Capital Contribution by such non-Declining Member to the Company as of the date of such contribution (each, a “Substituted Capital Contribution”), or (ii) making an

advance to the Company of the amount thereof, which will be deemed to be a loan by such non-Declining Member to the Company as of the date of such advance (each, a “Shortfall Loan”).  A non-Declining Member that elects to fund the Declined Contribution shall notify the Manager of this election in writing.  If there is more than one non-Declining Member that desires to make a Substituted Capital Contribution or Shortfall Loan, as applicable, then the non-Declining Members shall make such Substituted Capital Contribution or Shortfall Loan in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests or in such other proportions as they may agree to in writing.  Each Shortfall Loan shall (i) have a term of ten (10) years, (ii) provide for interest-only payments during the first two (2) years of the term, (iii) accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to the Shortfall Rate, (iv) may be paid in full at any time during the term without penalty, and (v) after the first two (2) years of the term, be paid in full (both principal and interest) as soon as possible with Available Cash prior to the making of any distributions to the Members pursuant to Article Four or Section 8.02 hereof.  If a non-Declining Member elects to fund the Declined Contribution and elects to treat such advanced funds as a Shortfall Loan, then such non-Declining Member may also elect to have all other capital it advanced in connection with such capital call treated as a Shortfall Loan (in lieu of treating such capital as a Capital Contribution).
(d)    Each time additional Capital Contributions (but not Shortfall Loans which shall be treated as debt as described above) are made to the Company under Sections 3.03(a), (b) and (c), new Units shall be issued to the contributing Members in respect of such additional Capital Contributions at Fair Market Value as of the date of such issuance, which Fair Market Value shall be determined pursuant to Exhibit D; provided, however, that in the case of an issuance of Units to a Member that makes a Substituted Capital Contribution on behalf of a Declining Member, then the Units issued to such non-Declining Member with respect to such Substituted Capital Contribution shall be based on an amount equal to one and 5/10 (1.5) multiplied by the Substituted Capital Contribution.  
(e)    If the non-Declining Members do not make a Substituted Capital Contribution or a Shortfall Loan for any or all of the Declined Contribution and the Company continues to require the additional capital set forth in the capital call notice, then the Manager shall be permitted to seek Indebtedness on behalf of the Company in order to fund the amount of the Declined Contribution, which Indebtedness shall be on commercially reasonable terms and may include loans from Members as permitted by Section 3.08.
(f)    In connection with any Shortfall Loan, at any time prior to the time the Company repays such Shortfall Loan, any Member, including the Declining Member, may contribute capital to the Company in an amount sufficient to repay all of the outstanding principal and interest under the Shortfall Loan and the Manager shall cause the Company to utilize such contribution to repay the Shortfall Loan and issue new Units to such Contributing Member in accordance with Section 3.03(d); provided, however, that new Units issued to a Member that repays a Shortfall Loan shall be issued to such Member based on the Fair Market Value as of the date of inception of such Shortfall Loan.

3.04    Additional Capital Contributions – Discretionary Contributions.
(a)    From and after the date hereof, if the Manager determines (in its reasonable discretion) that additional Capital Contributions to the Company are advisable to fund business initiatives or opportunities that are not contemplated in the Approved Business Plan, but are deemed by the Manager to be in the best interests of the Company, then the Manager shall have the right to call for additional Capital Contributions from the Members in accordance with this Section 3.04; provided, however, that the Manager shall not be permitted to make capital calls under this Section 3.04 in excess of Eighty-Five Million Dollars ($85,000,000) in the aggregate without the Consent of the Qualifying Members as a Major Decision; provided further, however, that the Manager shall not be permitted to make capital calls under this Section 3.04 for the purpose of repaying Indebtedness without the Consent of the Qualifying Members as a Major Decision, unless (i) the Manager determines (in its reasonable discretion) that third-party financing is not reasonably available timely or on commercially reasonable terms to repay such Indebtedness and (ii) such Indebtedness is then due and payable; provided further, however, that the foregoing Eighty-Five Million Dollars ($85,000,000) cap shall automatically be increased by an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the amount by which the Acquisition Financing exceeds $280,000,000, and shall be decreased by an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the amount by which the Acquisition Financing is less than $280,000,000, respectively, obtained by the Company during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on (and including) the Closing Date which reduces or increases, respectively, the equity required to fund the purchase price at Closing.  In furtherance of the foregoing, in the event the Manager elects to make a capital call pursuant to this Section 3.04, the Manager shall provide a written notice to the Members setting forth (i) the aggregate capital needs, (ii) the amount of each Member’s share of the Company’s required additional capital needs (which shall be based on each such Member’s respective Percentage Interest) and whether the Manager, as a Member, will be contributing its share of such additional capital contribution, (iii) reasonably detailed information regarding the intended use for the additional capital, and (iv) the date by which such additional Capital Contributions are due, such date not being earlier than forty-five (45) days following the receipt of the capital call notice.  During the period between delivery of the capital call notice and the due date for the additional Capital Contributions, the Members shall have the right to consult with the Manager regarding the intended use for the capital, and the Manager shall provide the Members with any information reasonably requested by the Members related thereto. Each Member shall have the right (but not the obligation) to contribute to the Company its share of such additional Capital Contribution by the due date as determined in accordance with this Section 3.04(a).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an Emergency, GAHR shall have the right to contribute the full amount of such additional Capital Contribution pursuant to this Section 3.04(a) pending NHI’s determination whether to contribute to the Company its share of such additional Capital Contribution.  In such event, if NHI determines to contribute its share of the additional Capital Contribution after GAHR has contributed the full amount of such additional Capital Contribution, then the Company shall treat GAHR’s contribution of NHI’s share of the additional Capital Contribution as an interest-free loan to the Company and shall repay GAHR with the proceeds of NHI’s additional Capital Contribution as soon as practicable upon receipt of NHI’s additional Capital Contribution.  

9

(b)    Any Member (a “Non-Contributing Member”) that fails to make a discretionary additional Capital Contribution pursuant to Section 3.04(a) when due shall not be in breach or default of this Agreement, and the only right the other Members shall have is the right to make additional Capital Contributions to the Company as described in this Section 3.04.  Upon a failure of a Non-Contributing Member to make a discretionary additional Capital Contribution pursuant to Section 3.04(a) (the amount such Non-Contributing Member fails to contribute defined as the “Shortfall Amount”), the Manager shall provide notice of the Shortfall Amount to the other Members, and any Member that elects to make its share of such discretionary additional Capital Contribution (a “Contributing Member”) may (but shall not be obligated to) fund the amount of the Shortfall Amount by making an additional cash contribution to the Company of the amount thereof, which will be deemed to be an additional Capital Contribution by such Contributing Member to the Company as of the date of such contribution (each, a “Shortfall Contribution”).  In addition, any Contributing Member shall have the right to rescind its election to make a discretionary additional Capital Contribution within five (5) days of receipt of notice from the Manager regarding a Shortfall Amount, and the Company shall return to the Contributing Member any such rescinded discretionary Capital Contribution within five (5) days of receipt of the Contributing Member’s notice of such rescission.  A Contributing Member that elects to fund the Shortfall Amount shall notify the Manager of this election in writing.  If there is more than one Contributing Member that desires to make a Shortfall Contribution, then the Contributing Members shall make such Shortfall Contribution in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests or in such other proportions as they may agree to in writing. 
(c)    Each time additional Capital Contributions are made to the Company under this Section 3.04, new Units shall be issued to the contributing Members in respect of such additional Capital Contributions at Fair Market Value as of the date of such issuance, which Fair Market Value shall be determined pursuant to Exhibit D. 
3.05    Fair Market Value Determination.   If at any time new Units are to be issued to a Member making additional Capital Contributions to the Company pursuant to Section 3.03 or Section 3.04 and the Fair Market Value of the Units has not been agreed to by the Members as provided in Exhibit D, then the number of Units to be issued to such Member shall be determined based upon the Estimated Fair Market Value as of the date of issuance of the Units.  If the actual Fair Market Value as of the date of issuance of such Units is later determined, as provided in Exhibit D, to be different than the Estimated Fair Market Value, then the number of Units issued to the Member based on such Estimated Fair Market Value shall be adjusted so that the actual number of Units held by such Member is equal to the sum of the Units held by such Member immediately prior to such issuance plus the number of Units to which such Member was actually entitled to receive based on the actual Fair Market Value as of the date of issuance.  To the extent that any Distributions have been paid to the Members based upon Percentage Interests that were determined based upon an Estimated Fair Market Value that is subsequently adjusted as provided herein, then any Member (an “Overfunded Member”) that was paid Distributions in excess of the amount to which the Overfunded Member would have been entitled had the number of Units originally been issued based on the actual Fair Market Value (“Excess Distributions”) shall pay such Excess Distributions to the remaining Members pro rata in proportion to their as-adjusted Units so that the Distributions reflect the final Fair Market Value determination, which payment shall be made within five (5) Business 

10

Days of the final Fair Market Value determination.  To the extent that any Overfunded Member fails to pay over any Excess Distributions as provided herein, the Company shall cause the amount of such Excess Distributions to be deducted from future Distributions as soon as possible and any Distributions that should have been paid to a Member that were not so paid shall be paid to the Member as soon as reasonably practicable, but no later than the payment of the next Distribution.  In the event that any Excess Distributions have not been repaid by an Overfunded Member at the time of any dissolution or liquidation of the Company pursuant to Article Eight, then the Overfunded Member shall be required to repay to the Company any remaining Excess Distributions due to the Company within five (5) Business Days of the determination of the amounts due from such Overfunded Member pursuant to Article Eight.  
3.06    Right to Assign Additional Capital Contribution Obligation/Right.  With respect to any of the capital calls permitted above in this Article Three, (i) GAHR may assign its obligation or right to contribute capital to one or more AHI Managed Companies which shall constitute a Permitted Transfer, and (ii) NHI may assign its obligation or right to contribute capital to one or more NSAM Managed Companies which shall constitute a Permitted Transfer.  If any such Permitted Transferee fails to perform under this Article Three as and when required, then the other Members shall have the rights and remedies provided for by this Article Three as if GAHR or NHI, as applicable, had failed to perform.
3.07    Liability of Members.  Except as otherwise required by any non-waivable provision of the Act or other applicable law and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or other agreements between the Company and one or more Members or their Affiliates:  (a) no Member shall be personally liable in any manner whatsoever for any debt, liability or other obligation of the Company, whether such debt, liability or other obligation arises in contract, tort, or otherwise; and (b) no Member shall in any event have any liability whatsoever in excess of (i) the amount of its Capital Contributions, (ii) its share of assets and undistributed profits of the Company, if any, and (iii) the amount of any wrongful distribution to such Member, if, and only to the extent, such Member has actual knowledge (at the time of the distribution) that such distribution is made in violation of Section 18-607 of the Act.  Upon written notice by the Company, any Member that received a Distribution in violation of Section 18-607 of the Act shall promptly return such distribution to the Company.
3.08    Member Loans.  Except for Shortfall Loans, Members and their Affiliates may make loans to the Company only upon the approval of the Qualifying Members as a Major Decision.  The amount of such loans (including, without limitation, Shortfall Loans) shall be treated as Indebtedness of the Company and not as a Capital Contribution and shall be repaid in accordance with the terms of the loan agreements relating to such loans, or in the case of Shortfall Loans, as described in Section 3.03(c).  Such loans shall not (i) increase the Units of the lending Member, (ii) entitle such Member to a greater share of Distributions, or (iii) entitle such Member to a greater share of allocations of Net Profits or Net Losses.
3.09    No Withdrawal.  No Member is entitled to withdraw any part of such Member’s Capital Contributions or Capital Account or to receive any distribution from the Company, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. 

11

3.10    No Right of Partition.  No Member has or shall have any right to seek or obtain partition by court decree or operation of law of any Company property, or the right to own or use particular or individual assets of the Company. 
3.11    Title to Assets.  The assets of the Company shall be owned by the Company as an entity, and no Member or Manager has any ownership interest in such assets or any portion thereof, and legal title to such assets shall be held in the name of the Company. 
ARTICLE FOUR

4.02    Distributions of Available Cash.  Subject to Section 3.03(c), Article Eight and Section 10.07, all Available Cash shall be distributed to the Members pro rata in proportion to their respective Units.

5.02    Major Decisions/Deadlock.  Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary (including, without limitation, Section 5.01), the Manager shall not, without the prior consent of 

14

each Qualifying Member, make any decision or take any action that would constitute a Major Decision (as defined on Exhibit E attached hereto).  Each time the Consent of the Qualifying  Members is required under this Section 5.02, a written notice shall be sent to the Qualifying Members by the Manager, which notice shall provide in reasonable detail the proposed Major Decision.  Each Qualifying Member shall use good faith efforts to respond within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such written notice.  If a Qualifying Member does not approve or disapprove of a proposed Major Decision in writing within said fifteen (15) day period, then the Manager shall provide written notice to the Member that such matter or action requested shall be deemed approved by such Qualifying Member if not objected to within five (5) days after receipt of such written notice.  If the Manager and the Qualifying Members disagree with respect to a Major Decision, then the Manager or any Qualifying Member shall engage in good faith negotiations to resolve such disagreement.

(ii)    Subject to Section 5.03(c)(i), a GAHR Director may only be removed and/or replaced (including, without limitation, to fill a vacancy due to death, disability or resignation of a GAHR Director) as a HoldCo Director at the direction of GAHR in writing; provided, however, that GAHR shall promptly remove any GAHR Director that commits fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, bad faith or any felony.  GAHR may direct the removal and replacement of a GAHR Director at any time for any reason.  If GAHR desires to remove and/or replace a GAHR Director, then GAHR shall notify the Manager in writing of such decision.  Upon receipt of such written notice from GAHR, the Manager shall promptly cause the Company, in its capacity as the sole trustee of Trilogy REIT, in its capacity as the controlling member of HoldCo, to cause HoldCo to remove and/or replace such GAHR Director in accordance with the direction of GAHR.

16

(iii)    Subject to Section 5.03(c)(i), the NHI Director, if any, may only be removed and/or replaced (including, without limitation, to fill a vacancy due to death, disability or resignation of the NHI Director) as a HoldCo Director at the direction of NHI in writing; provided, however, that NHI shall promptly remove any NHI Director that commits fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, bad faith or any felony.

Upon approval of the Manager and the Qualifying Members of the appointment, removal or replacement of a HoldCo Director as a Major Decision, the Manager shall promptly cause the Company, in its capacity as the sole trustee of Trilogy REIT, in its capacity as the controlling member of HoldCo, to cause HoldCo to appoint, remove and/or replace such HoldCo Director in accordance with the approved Major Decision.
5.04    Liability for Certain Acts and Indemnification.
(a)    No Manager, Member, Officer or agent of the Company has guaranteed or shall have any obligation with respect to the return of a Member’s Capital Contributions or profits from the operation of the Company.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Act, no Manager, Member, Officer or agent of the Company shall be liable to the Company or to any Member for any loss or damage sustained by the Company or any Member except for loss or damage resulting from fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, or material breach of this Agreement.

any mistake in judgment, (ii) any act performed or omission made by it or (iii) any losses due to the mistake, action, inaction or negligence of agents of the Company.  Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an Indemnified Person in a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding; provided, however, that, if an Indemnified Person is advanced such expenses and it is later determined that such Indemnified Person was not entitled to indemnification with respect to such action, suit or proceeding, then such Indemnified Person shall reimburse the Company for such advances.  The Members hereby acknowledge that each Indemnified Person shall be a third party beneficiary under the terms of this Section 5.04(b).  The provisions of this Section 5.04(b) shall continue to afford protection to each Indemnified Person regardless of whether such Indemnified Person remains in the position or capacity pursuant to which such Indemnified Person became entitled to indemnification under this Section 5.04(b) and regardless of any subsequent amendment to this Agreement.  The Members agree that the covenants and agreements set forth in this Section 5.04(b) shall survive the cancellation of the Company.

The resignation of any Manager shall take effect upon the date that is 30 days following the receipt of such notice or at such later time as shall be specified in such notice; and, unless otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.  The resignation of the Manager shall not affect the Manager’s rights as a Member and shall not constitute a withdrawal of the Manager as a Member.  In the event the Manager resigns as provided in this Section 5.07(a), then, so long as NHI is Qualifying Member, then NHI shall have the right to serve as the Manager if it so chooses and may not be removed as Manager except upon a Default.  If NHI is not a Qualifying Member or declines to serve as the Manager, then the Manager shall be chosen by a majority vote of the Qualifying Members.

18

(b)    Removal.  
(i)    Generally.  So long as (A) GAHR and its Affiliates in the aggregate own the largest number of Units (as compared with any other Member and such Member’s Affiliates) and (B) the Percentage Interest of GAHR and its Affiliates in the aggregate is equal to or greater than thirty-five percent (35%), then GAHR shall serve as Manager and may not be removed as Manager except upon a Default.  If GAHR ceases to meet all such requirements, then GAHR shall be removed as Manager as provided in Section 5.07(b)(iii)(A) below. Should GAHR be removed as Manager and the replacement manager is not NHI, GAHR shall retain the right to vote on the replacement manager, as long as GAHR is, at the time of the vote, a Qualifying Member. If at any time (x) NHI and its Affiliates in the aggregate own the largest number of Units (as compared with any other Member and such Member’s Affiliates), and (y) the Percentage Interest of NHI and its Affiliates in the aggregate is equal to or greater than thirty-five percent (35%), then so long as (x) and (y) continue to be true, NHI shall serve as Manager and may not be removed as Manager except upon a Default.

19

(ii)    Default – For Cause Removal.  Any Person serving as Manager may be removed by the affirmative vote of all Qualifying Members of the Company (excluding any Member that is the Manager or that is an Affiliate of the Manager) in accordance with this Section 5.07(b) after the occurrence of any of the following (each a “Default”):
(A)    the commission of fraud, embezzlement or commission of a felony by the Manager against the Company, any Member or any Subsidiary;

(B)    the commission of gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Manager relating to the Company, any Member or any Subsidiary; 

provided, however, that any such action in (A) or (B) shall not constitute a Default if such action: (i) is committed by an employee or other agent of Manager (other than the officers or directors of the Manager, the officers and directors of AHI if GAHR is then an AHI Managed Company or the officers and directors of any successor advisor to GAHR if GAHR or its REIT Parent is an externally-managed company) who is promptly terminated or removed; and (ii) is cured within 30 days (or such longer period of time not to exceed 90 days so long as Manager is diligently pursuing a cure of such breach), which cure may be accomplished through reimbursing the Company, Member or Subsidiary for actual damages or losses incurred; or

(C)    breach by the Manager of any provision contained in this Agreement that (A) has a material adverse economic effect on the Company, any Member or any Subsidiary and (B) is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from any other Member which notice describes in reasonable detail the alleged breach (or within such longer period of time, not to exceed ninety (90) days, if such breach cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period and so long as the Manager is diligently pursuing a cure of such breach).
(iii)    Removal of the Manager.  
(A)    Removal as a Result of Change in Ownership. In the event that GAHR is no longer entitled to serve as the Manager as provided by Section 5.07(b)(i) hereof, NHI shall have the right to remove GAHR as Manager by delivering written notice (the “Removal Notice”) to GAHR at any time within thirty (30) days after GAHR ceases to be entitled to serve as the Manager.  The Removal Notice shall specify the effective date of removal of GAHR as Manager which effective date may not be earlier than ten (10) days after the date of the Removal Notice.  Upon the effective date of removal of a Person as Manager pursuant to this Section 5.07(b)(iii)(A), such Person shall automatically be removed as the Manager, and in the event that NHI meets the requirements to serve as the Manager as provided in Section 5.07(b)(i), GAHR shall be replaced in that capacity by NHI.  If NHI does not meet the requirements set forth above to serve as the Manager or declines to serve as the Manager, then the Manager shall be chosen by a majority vote of the Qualifying Members.
(B)    Removal As a Result of a Default.  In the event of a Default by the Manager, the Qualifying Members (by unanimous vote, excluding any Member that is the Manager or that is an Affiliate of the Manager) shall have the right to remove such Manager as 

20

Manager by delivering written notice (the “Default Notice”) to such Manager at any time within thirty (30) days after obtaining actual knowledge of such Default, but only so long as (i) such Manager and its Affiliates are released on or prior to the effective date of removal from any and all personal or recourse liability with respect to all Company and Subsidiary financings and other obligations, and (ii) such removal does not result in a default or breach under any Company or Subsidiary financing documentation.  Each Default Notice shall specify in reasonable detail the event of Default and the effective date of removal of the Manager as Manager which effective date may not be earlier than ten (10) days after the date of the Default Notice.  Upon the effective date of removal of a Person as Manager, such Person shall automatically be removed as the Manager and shall be replaced in that capacity by a Person elected by the Qualifying Members by unanimous vote (excluding any Member that is the Manager subject to removal or that is an Affiliate of the Manager subject to removal).  Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision herein to the contrary, if the Manager subject to removal contests the validity of its removal as Manager through expedited arbitration in accordance with Section 12.03 hereof (which such Manager shall be entitled to do), then such Manager shall not be removed as Manager until the conclusion of such arbitration, and only then if such arbitration validates the removal of such Person as Manager.  
(iv)    Effect of Removal.  After the effective date of removal as Manager, any removed Manager shall cease to be the Manager, but shall continue to be a Member (if applicable) and maintain (i) all of the same economic rights it had prior to removal as Manager, (ii) the right to approve Major Decisions (if such Person is a Qualifying Member), and (iii) its other rights as described herein.
(c)    Except as otherwise provided above in this Section 5.07, any vacancy occurring for any reason in the position of Manager may be filled by the Qualifying Members (including the departing Manager) as a Major Decision.

Each Member agrees that, notwithstanding the Transfer of all or any of its Units, as between such Member and the Company, such Member shall remain liable for all Capital Contributions required to be made by such Member (without taking into account the Transfer of all or any of such Units) prior to the time, if any, when the purchaser, assignee or transferee of such Units is admitted as a substituted Member.

6.05    Transfers During a Fiscal Year.  In the event of a Transfer of a Member’s Units at any time other than the end of a Fiscal Year, the various items of Company income, gain, deduction, loss, credit and allowance as computed for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated between the transferor and the transferee in the ratio of the number of days in the Fiscal Year before and after the Transfer, unless the transferor and the transferee shall (i) have given the Company written notice, on or before the January 15 following the year in which such Transfer occurred, stating their agreement that such allocation shall be made on some other proper basis and (ii) agree to reimburse the Company for any incidental accounting fees and other expenses incurred by the Company in making such allocation.

25

(a)    For purposes of this Section 6.06, (i) GAHR and its Affiliates that own Units shall be treated as one party and a reference to GAHR in this Section 6.06 shall mean GAHR and its Affiliates that own Units, and (ii) NHI and its Affiliates that own Units shall be treated as one party and a reference to NHI in this Section 6.06 shall mean NHI and its Affiliates that own Units.  GAHR shall cause all of its Affiliates to act in accordance with this Section 6.06, and NHI shall cause all of its Affiliates (as applicable) to act in accordance with this Section 6.06. 
(b)    At any time (i) prior to the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date hereof with regard to a Transfer of Units with respect to which a Member may not unreasonably withhold its Consent pursuant to Section 6.01(a), or (ii) after the fifth (5th) anniversary with regard to any Transfer of Units, if GAHR or NHI (the “Selling Member”) desires to Transfer (or cause its Affiliate to Transfer) all or any portion of its Units to a purchaser that is not an Affiliate of GAHR or NHI in a single, arm’s length transaction, or in a series of related arm’s length transactions through the sale of Units, or a merger, consolidation or other similar corporate reorganization of the Company (the “Proposed Sale” and the Units that are the subject of such Proposed Sale are the “Proposed Units”), the Selling Member shall notify the other Member (the “Offeree Member”) in writing of its intentions to sell (the “Initial Sale Notice”). The Initial Sale Notice shall contain general information on the proposed sale.  The parties shall have sixty (60) days to discuss the proposed sale (such sixty (60) day period beginning upon receipt by the Offeree Member of the Initial Sale Notice defined as the “Proposed Sale Discussion Period”).  If, after the Proposed Sale Discussion Period, the Selling Member still desires to proceed with the Proposed Sale, then Selling Member shall provide a formal written notice (the “Proposed Sale Notice”) to the Offeree Member within thirty (30) days after the end of the Proposed Sale Discussion Period.  The Proposed Sale Notice shall specify the proposed sale price of the Proposed Units and the material terms and conditions of such Proposed Sale (the “Proposed Sale Terms”).  If applicable, the Proposed Sale Notice may also constitute the Drag-Along Notice provided for in Section 6.07 or the Tag-Along Notice provided for by Section 6.08 if it includes all information required by such sections.
(c)    Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Proposed Sale Notice (such period beginning upon Offeree Member’s receipt of the Proposed Sale Notice and ending on the thirtieth (30th) day thereafter being known as the “Proposed Sale Notice Period”), the Offeree Member may elect to purchase all of the Proposed Units from the Selling Member upon the same terms and conditions as those set forth in the Proposed Sale Notice by delivering a written notice (the “Purchase Notice”) of such election to the Selling Member.  If the Offeree Member elects to purchase the Proposed Units, then the closing of such Transfer shall take place at such time and place as specified in the Purchase Notice, which date shall not be more than one hundred twenty (120) days after delivery of the Purchase Notice by the Offeree Member, subject to extension of up to an additional one hundred fifty (150) days if necessary in order to obtain any third party Consents required to consummate the Proposed Sale.  At the closing, the Selling Member shall deliver such customary transfer documents as the Offeree Member may reasonably request to Transfer the Proposed Units to be sold by such Selling Member, against delivery of the applicable consideration.

26

(d)    If the Offeree Member does not timely elect to purchase the Selling Member’s Proposed Units or timely elects to purchase the Proposed Units but fails to close the purchase in the time frame described in Section 6.06(c), then the Selling Member may proceed with the Proposed Sale without the Consent of any Member or Manager, provided that (i) (A) if the Offeree Member did not timely elect to purchase the Selling Member’s Proposed Units, such Proposed Sale is consummated within one hundred twenty (120) days following the end of the Proposed Sale Notice Period, subject to extension of up to an additional one hundred fifty (150) days if necessary in order to obtain any third party Consents required to consummate the Proposed Sale, or (B) if the Offeree Member elects to purchase the Proposed Units but fails to close the purchase of the Proposed Units within the time frame described in Section 6.06(c), such Proposed Sale is consummated within one hundred twenty (120) days following the last possible date that the Offeree Member could have consummated the Proposed Sale in accordance with Section 6.06(c), subject to extension of up to an additional one hundred fifty (150) days if necessary in order to obtain any third party Consents required to consummate the Proposed Sale, and (ii) the actual sale terms are substantially consistent with the Proposed Sale Terms (it being acknowledged and agreed that the sale price of the Proposed Units must be equal to or greater than ninety-eight percent (98%) of the sale price of the Proposed Units as specified in the Proposed Sale Notice).  If the Offeree Member does not timely elect to purchase the Selling Member’s Proposed Units, and the Proposed Sale is not consummated within the time frame and on the terms described above, the Offeree Member shall have the right to require that the Selling Member thereafter again comply with this Section 6.06, however if the Selling Member provides the Offeree Member a subsequent Proposed Sale Notice on the same or more favorable terms to the Offeree Member within one hundred eighty (180) days from the original Proposed Sale Notice, the Offeree Member must respond to the subsequent Proposed Sale Notice within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the subsequent Proposed Sale Notice.
(e)    If any Member shall default in its obligations under this Section 6.06, then the other Member may seek specific performance of such Member’s obligations under this Section 6.06 or pursue any other remedies at law or in equity.  In addition, to the extent any Member fails to take any required action in connection with this Section 6.06, each Member hereby grants the other Member power of attorney to take such action on such Member’s behalf.  The power of attorney granted pursuant to this Section 6.06(e) is a special power of attorney coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.
6.07    Drag-Along Right.  At any time (i) prior to the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date hereof with regard to a Transfer of Units with respect to which a Member may not unreasonably withhold its Consent pursuant to Section 6.01(a), or (ii) after the fifth (5th) anniversary with regard to any Transfer of Units, if GAHR receives a bona fide offer from an independent third party to Transfer all, but not less than all, of its Units to a purchaser which is not an Affiliate of GAHR in a single, arm’s length transaction, or in a series of related arm’s length transactions, through the sale of Units, or a merger, consolidation or other similar corporate reorganization of the Company (the “Drag-Along Sale”), then GAHR shall provide written notice to NHI and the other Members at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of such proposed Transfer (the “Drag-Along Notice”), which shall specify the identity of the prospective purchaser and the material terms and conditions of such proposed Transfer and the amount and type of consideration to be paid in respect thereof.  

27

The Drag-Along Notice shall also constitute the Proposed Sale Notice pursuant to Section 6.06(b).  If NHI does not provide a Purchase Notice to GAHR as provided in Section 6.06(c), then GAHR may at its option, require all of the other Members of the Company, including NHI, to Transfer all, but not less than all, of their respective Units to such purchaser on the same terms and conditions offered to GAHR; provided, however, that the gross proceeds of the Drag-Along Sale, less the aggregate reasonable and customary expenses of the Company incurred in connection therewith, shall be shared by the Members in the same manner as if all of the assets of the Company were sold for such sale price and the proceeds of such sale were distributed to the Members in accordance with Section 4.02 (and the same power of attorney contained in Section 6.06(e) shall apply with respect to any Drag-Along Sale). 
(a)    The closing of the Drag-Along Sale shall take place at such time and place as GAHR shall specify in the Drag-Along Notice.  At the closing of the Drag-Along Sale, each Member shall deliver such customary transfer documents as GAHR may reasonably request to Transfer the Units to be sold by such Member, against delivery of the applicable consideration. 
(b)    By execution of this Agreement, each Member hereby agrees, subject to NHI’s rights pursuant to Section 6.06 to Consent to and to participate in a Drag-Along Sale in a timely manner.  If any Member shall default in its obligation to sell its Units in a Drag-Along Sale, then GAHR may seek specific performance of such Member’s obligations under this Section 6.07 or pursue any other remedies at law or in equity.  In addition, to the extent any Member fails to take any required action in connection with this Section 6.07, each Member hereby grants GAHR power of attorney to take such action on such Member’s behalf.  The power of attorney granted pursuant to this Section 6.07(c) is a special power of attorney coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, as a condition and prior to the closing of a Drag-Along Sale, each Member and its respective Affiliates (unless waived by such Member) shall be released from any personal liability with respect to all Loans (including, without limitation, any liability associated with any guaranty or indemnity relating to a Loan).
6.08    Tag-Along Right.  
(a)    At any time (i) prior to the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date hereof with regard to a Transfer of Units with respect to which a Member may not unreasonably withhold its Consent pursuant to Section 6.01(a), or (ii) after the fifth (5th) anniversary with regard to any Transfer of Units, if GAHR receives a bona fide offer from an independent third party to Transfer at least ten percent (10%) of its Units to a purchaser which is not an Affiliate of GAHR in a single, arm’s length transaction, or in a series of related arm’s length transactions, through the sale of Units, or a merger, consolidation or other similar corporate reorganization of the Company (the “Tag-Along Sale”), then GAHR shall provide written notice to NHI and the other Members at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of such proposed Transfer (the “Tag-Along Notice”), which shall specify the identity of the prospective purchaser (the “Tag-Along Purchaser”) and the material terms and conditions of such proposed Transfer and the amount and type of consideration to be paid in respect thereof.  The Tag-Along Notice shall also constitute the Proposed Sale Notice pursuant to Section 

28

6.06(b).  If NHI does not provide a Purchase Notice to GAHR as provided in Section 6.06(c), and GAHR does not exercise its drag-along right contained in Section 6.07 hereof, if applicable, then GAHR shall comply with the requirements of this Section 6.08.
(b)    Within thirty (30) days after delivery of an effective Tag-Along Notice, NHI shall give written notice to GAHR that (i) NHI elects to transfer its Units (which shall be no greater than the percentage of its Units that the Tag-Along Notice states GAHR desires to Transfer (the “Tag-Along Percentage”)) to the Tag-Along Purchaser on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Tag-Along Notice (the “Tag-Along Option”) or (ii) NHI elects not to transfer its Units (or the Tag-Along Percentage thereof) to the Tag-Along Purchaser (the “Non-Transfer Option”).  NHI shall be conclusively deemed to have elected the Non-Transfer Option if it fails to give written notice of its election of either of the above-described options within such thirty (30) day period.
(c)    If NHI elects or is deemed to have elected the Non-Transfer Option, GAHR shall be permitted to make the Tag-Along Sale, so long as (i) such Tag-Along Sale is consummated within one hundred twenty (120) days of the Tag-Along Notice, subject to extension of up to an additional one hundred fifty (150) days if necessary in order to obtain any third party Consents required to consummate the Tag-Along Sale and (ii) the actual sales price does not exceed one hundred two percent (102%) of the sales price specified in the Tag-Along Notice.
(d)    If NHI elects the Tag-Along Option, GAHR shall not make the Tag-Along Sale to the Tag-Along Purchaser unless such Tag-Along Purchaser acquires, simultaneously with its acquisition of GAHR’s Units (or the Tag-Along Percentage thereof), the Units (or the Tag-Along Percentages thereof) of NHI at a purchase price per Unit equal to the purchase price per Unit paid for GAHR’s Units.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate reasonable and customary expenses of the Members incurred in connection with the transfer of their Units or portions thereof (including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and any brokerage fees) shall be paid (or reimbursed) out of the aggregate purchase price paid to the Members.
(e)    If NHI exercises the Tag-Along Option, NHI shall take all actions necessary to cause its Units (or the Tag-Along Percentage thereof) to be transferred to the Tag-Along Purchaser as set forth in Section 6.08(e), such actions to include, without limitation, executing a contract of sale if requested to do so by the Tag-Along Purchaser (which contract shall be no more onerous to NHI than the contract of sale executed by GAHR) and complying with the terms thereof.  If NHI elects or is deemed to have elected the Non-Transfer Option, and the Tag-Along Sale does not occur on the terms set forth in Section 6.08(c), NHI shall have the right to require that GAHR thereafter again comply with this Section 6.08, however if GAHR provides NHI a subsequent Tag-Along Notice on the same or more favorable terms to NHI within one hundred eighty (180) days from the original Tag-Along Notice, NHI must respond to the subsequent Tag-Along Notice within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the subsequent Tag-Along Notice.

The Company shall be liquidated and dissolved upon the IPO and the Members shall be subject to customary lock-up restrictions with respect to the equity interests in Trilogy REIT they receive in connection with such IPO.

7.02    Business Experience.  By reason of such Member’s business or financial experience, or by reason of the business or financial experience of its general partner, managing member, or financial advisor who is unaffiliated with and who is not compensated, directly or indirectly, by the Company or any Affiliate or selling agent of the Company, such Member is capable of evaluating the risks and merits of an investment in the Units and of protecting such Member’s own interests in connection with this investment.

7.04    Restricted Securities.  Such Member understands that the Units are “restricted securities” under the Securities Act in that such Units are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering, and that the Units may be resold without a registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances and that otherwise the Units must be held indefinitely.

applicable securities laws.  Without limiting the foregoing, such Member agrees not to make any Transfer of all or any part of its Units unless and until such Member has notified the Company of the proposed Transfer and, if requested by the Manager, furnish, a written opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Manager, that such disposition would not require registration of any Securities under the Securities Act or the Consent of or a permit from appropriate authorities under any applicable state securities laws.

Such Member acknowledges that there are substantial restrictions on the transferability of the Units pursuant to this Agreement, that there is no public market for such Units and that none is expected to develop, and that, accordingly, it may not be possible for such Member to liquidate its investment in the Company.

ARTICLE EIGHT 
 
DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION OF THE COMPANY
8.01    Dissolution.
(a)    The Company shall be dissolved and wound up upon the first to occur of any of the following events: 
(i)    the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; 
(ii)    the Consent of all Members; or
(iii)    any other event that applicable law specifies must operate as an event causing the dissolution of a limited liability company, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement.  
The dissolution of the Company shall be effective on the day on which the event occurs giving rise to the dissolution, but the Company shall not terminate until it is wound up and its assets have been distributed as provided in Section 8.02.  Notwithstanding the dissolution of the Company, prior to the termination of the Company, the business of the Company and the affairs of the Members, as such, shall continue to be governed by this Agreement. 
(b)    Each Member shall look solely to the assets of the Company for all distributions with respect to the Company, its Capital Contributions thereto, such Member’s Capital Account and such Member’s share of profits and losses, and shall have no recourse therefor (upon dissolution or otherwise) against any other Member.  Accordingly, if any Member has a deficit balance in such Member’s Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all taxable years, including the year during which the liquidation occurs), then such Member shall have no obligation to make any Capital Contribution with respect to such deficit, and such deficit shall not be considered a debt owed to the Company or to any other Person for any purpose whatsoever.
8.02    Liquidation.  
(a)    Upon dissolution of the Company, the Manager or a liquidating trustee or person selected by the Manager (the “Liquidating Trustee”), shall wind up the affairs of the Company and proceed within a reasonable period of time to sell or otherwise liquidate the assets of the Company and, after paying or making due provision by the setting up of reserves for all liabilities to creditors of the Company in accordance with applicable law, to distribute the assets among the Members in accordance with the provisions for the making of distributions set forth in this Article Eight and Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Manager or the Liquidating Trustee, as the case may be, shall, in its absolute discretion, determine that a sale or other disposition of part or all of the assets of the Company would cause undue loss to the Members or otherwise be impractical, the Manager or the Liquidating Trustee may either defer liquidation of, and withhold from distribution for a reasonable time, the 

32

assets or distribute part or all of the assets to the Members in kind based on the fair market value of such assets.
(b)    No Member shall be liable for the return of the Capital Contributions of other Members, except as expressly provided for herein. 
(c)    Upon liquidation, all of the assets of the Company, or the proceeds therefrom, shall be distributed or used as follows and in the following order of priority: 
(i)    for the payment of Indebtedness of the Company including any expenses of liquidation and any outstanding Member loans (including, without limitation, Shortfall Loans) and accrued and unpaid interest thereon; 
(ii)    to the setting up of any reserves which the Manager or the Liquidating Trustee may deem reasonably necessary for any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company in accordance with applicable law; and
(iii)    to the Members in accordance with Section 4.02 of this Agreement; provided, however, that if for any reason the amounts otherwise distributable to the Members pursuant to this Section 8.02(c)(iii) differ from the Capital Account balances of the Members immediately prior to the making of such liquidating distributions (and after taking into account all Capital Account adjustments for the Company’s taxable year in which liquidation occurs), then allocations of items of income, gain, loss and deduction (for the current tax year and prior tax years) shall be made to eliminate all such differences to the extent permitted by the Code and the applicable Regulations.  
(d)    When the Manager or the Liquidating Trustee, as the case may be, has complied with the foregoing liquidation plan, the Members shall execute, acknowledge and cause to be filed an instrument evidencing the cancellation of the Company’s Certificate, if required by the Act.

The books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be open to the reasonable inspection and examination of the Members or their duly authorized Representatives during reasonable business hours.  The Members and their duly authorized Representatives may discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Company with the Manager and the accountants of the Company during reasonable business hours.  The books and records of the Company shall be kept in accordance with GAAP. The Manager shall cause the documents and information listed on Exhibit F to be prepared and delivered to the Members.  The Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such documents and information in a form that enables REIT Parents and their respective Affiliates to comply with REIT Parents’ and their respective Affiliates’ reporting and certification requirements under applicable laws and regulations, and to implement a system to enable REIT Parents and their respective Affiliates to do control testing pursuant to the certification requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (as amended, supplemented, restated or replaced from time to time, “SOX”) or any similar or related requirements that may from time to time be applicable to the REIT Parents.  Manager shall reasonably cooperate with REIT Parents and their respective Affiliates in complying with their respective obligations pursuant to SOX, other applicable legal requirements and any matters related to REIT testing and compliance, if applicable, including assisting REIT Parents and their respective Affiliates and their respective internal and external independent auditors in completing procedures to comply with their obligations under SOX and other applicable legal requirements in a timely manner, including causing officers of the Company to execute and deliver to REIT Parents and their respective Affiliates such certifications with respect to the financial reports required by this Agreement as REIT Parents or their respective Affiliates may reasonably request.

10.04    Tax Information.  The Manager shall cause to be prepared all federal, state, local and foreign tax returns of the Company for each year for which such returns are required to be filed and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such returns to be timely filed.  The Members agree that they shall not, except as otherwise required by law or with the prior Consent of the Manager, (i) treat, on their own income tax returns, any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit relating to their interest in the Company in a manner inconsistent with the treatment of such items by the Company as reflected on the Schedule K‐1, or equivalent form, or (ii) file any claim for a refund relating to any such item based on, or which would result in, such inconsistent treatment.  The Manager shall cause a draft copy of the Schedule K-1 for each Member to be delivered to such Member by May 31 of each year and the final Schedule K-1 for each Member to be delivered to such Member by July 15 of each year.  With respect to each tax return of the Company, the Manager shall cause a draft copy of such tax return to be provided to the Members concurrent with the delivery of the final Schedule K-1.  The Manager shall make itself available during reasonable business hours to discuss each such tax return with the Members prior to filing.  
10.05    Tax Matters Member.  GAHR is hereby designated as the tax matters partner within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code (“Tax Matters Member”).  In such capacity, GAHR shall have all of the rights, authority and power, and shall be subject to all of the obligations, of a tax matters partner to the extent provided in the Code and the Treasury Regulations.  If any state or local tax law provides for a tax matters partner or Person having similar rights, powers, authority or obligations, GAHR shall also serve in such capacity.  In all other cases, GAHR shall represent the Company in all tax matters to the extent allowed by law and to the maximum extent not prohibited by law.  Out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by GAHR as the Tax Matters Member or in a similar capacity as set forth in this Section 10.04 shall be reimbursed by the Company.  Such expenses shall include, without limitation, reasonable fees of attorneys and other tax professionals, accountants, appraisers and experts, filing fees and reasonable out-of-pocket costs.  Any decisions made by the Tax Matters Member shall be made in the Tax Matters Member’s reasonable discretion.  GAHR shall inform the Members of any decision or action GAHR takes as the Tax Matters Member.
10.06    Capital Accounts, Allocations and Elections.  Each Member shall have a capital account (a “Capital Account”) which shall be established and maintained in accordance with Exhibit B.  Allocations of Net Profits and Net Losses shall be made in accordance with Exhibit B, and tax elections shall be made by the Company as set forth in Exhibit B. 
10.07    Tax Advances.  To the extent the Company is required by law to withhold or to make tax payments on behalf of or with respect to any Member (the latter a “Tax Advance”), the Manager may withhold such amounts and make such tax payments as so required.  All Tax Advances made on behalf of a Member, plus interest thereon at a rate equal to the Base Rate, as of the date of such Tax Advances, shall, either (at the option of the Manager), (i) be promptly paid to the Company by the Member on whose behalf such Tax Advances were made (such payment not to constitute a 

35

Capital Contribution) or (ii) be repaid by reducing the amount of the current or next succeeding Distribution or Distributions which would otherwise have been made to such Member or, if such Distributions are not sufficient for that purpose, by so reducing the proceeds of liquidation otherwise payable to such Member.  Whenever the Manager selects option (ii) pursuant to the preceding sentence for repayment of a Tax Advance by a Member, for all other purposes of this Agreement such Member shall be treated as having received all Distributions (whether before or upon liquidation) unreduced by the amount of such Tax Advance and interest thereon.  Each Member hereby agrees to reimburse the Company and the Manager for any liability with respect to Tax Advances required on behalf of or with respect to such Member.
ARTICLE ELEVEN 
 
CONFIDENTIALITY
11.01    Disclosure of Confidential Information.  Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Article Eleven, each Member shall keep confidential and not disclose the Confidential Information for the longer of the term of this Agreement or three (3) years after a Member receives, obtains or learns of such Confidential Information.  Without limiting the foregoing, each Member will use no less than the same degree of care, and no less than a reasonable degree of care, to protect the Confidential Information as such Member uses to protect its own Trade Secrets and confidential information.
11.02    Certain Exceptions.  The prohibitions in Section 11.01 will not apply only to the extent that:  (a) the disclosing Person (i) demonstrates that the same Confidential Information was in its possession before disclosure to it and (ii) the disclosing Person provided the Company and each Member with written notice of prior possession; (b) the disclosing Person demonstrates (i) that the same information is currently publicly available or has become publicly available and (ii) that such public availability does not result from (A) the misappropriation or improper disclosure of such Confidential Information by the disclosing Person or (B) the obtaining of such Confidential Information by improper means of the disclosing Person; (c) the disclosing Person demonstrates that the same information was developed independently by the disclosing Person without the use of the Confidential Information; (d) the disclosure of the Confidential Information is required or deemed advisable by counsel in order to comply with applicable laws, rules, regulatory requirements or other governmental requirements (e.g., securities law requirements), or the requirements of any securities exchange, that are binding upon such Member or its Affiliates; (e) it is reasonably necessary for a Member or the Company to make the disclosure to enforce this Agreement; or (f) disclosure is made by a Member or the Company in connection with the sale, transfer or other disposition, in whole or in part, of Units or the financing, sale, transfer or other disposition of the assets of the Company in accordance with this Agreement (but then only if disclosure is subject to a non-disclosure agreement then customary in such transactions).

36

reasonable efforts to have the disclosed information treated confidentially, consistent with this Article Eleven.
11.03    Permitted Disclosure to Representatives.  Notwithstanding the prohibitions of this Article Eleven, each Member and the Company may disclose Confidential Information to its Representatives directly involved with the Company.

Each Member recognizes that the activities proscribed by this Article will result in irreparable damage and harm to the Company and the Members and that the Company and Members and their Affiliates may be without an adequate remedy at law in the event of any such activities.

12.02    Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its conflicts of law principles.  
12.03    Arbitration.  Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or in connection with, or relating to, this Agreement (excluding any attempt to resolve a disagreement regarding a Major Decision, which shall be handled through mediation in accordance with Section 5.02 hereof) or any breach or alleged breach hereof shall, upon the request of any party involved, be submitted to, and settled by, expedited arbitration proceedings in the City of Wilmington, State of Delaware, pursuant to the commercial arbitration rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association (or at any time or at any other place or under any other form of arbitration mutually acceptable to the parties so involved).  Any award rendered shall be final and conclusive upon the parties and a judgment thereon may be entered in the highest court of the forum, state or federal, having jurisdiction.  The expenses of the arbitration shall be borne equally by the parties to the arbitration, provided that each party shall pay for and bear the cost of its own experts, evidence and counsel’s fees, except that in the discretion of the arbitrator, any award may include the cost of a party’s counsel if the arbitrator expressly determines that the party against whom such award is entered has caused the dispute, controversy or claim to be submitted to arbitration as a dilatory tactic. The arbitrator shall decide such dispute in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law provisions thereof.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement to the contrary, this Section 12.03 shall be construed to the maximum extent possible to comply with the laws of the State of Delaware, including the Uniform Arbitration Act (10 Del. C. § 5701 et seq.) (the “Delaware Arbitration Act”).  If, nevertheless, it shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that any provision or wording of this Section 12.03, including any rules of the American Arbitration Association, shall be invalid or unenforceable under the Delaware Arbitration Act, or other applicable law, such invalidity shall not invalidate all of this Section 12.03.  In that case, this Section 12.03 shall be construed so as to limit any term or provision so as to make it valid or enforceable within the requirements of the Delaware Arbitration Act or other applicable law, and, in the event such term or provision cannot be so limited, this Section 12.03 shall be construed to omit such invalid or unenforceable provision.
12.04    Entire Agreement.  This Agreement (including any Annexes, Exhibits, or Appendix hereto) and any other written agreements constitute (for the respective Members that are parties thereto or bound thereby) the entire agreement among the Members with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any prior agreement or understanding among them with respect to such subject matters. 
12.05    Headings.  The headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.  Wherever from the context it appears appropriate, each term stated in either the singular or the plural shall include the singular and the plural. 
12.06    Binding Provisions.  The covenants and agreements contained herein shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the parties hereto. 
12.07    No Waiver.  The failure of any Member to seek redress for violation, or to insist on strict performance, of any covenant or condition of this Agreement shall not prevent a subsequent act which would have constituted a violation from having the effect of an original violation. 

38

12.08    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.  This Agreement may be executed by electronic mail or other electronic transmission.
12.09    Costs.  Except as expressly provided herein, each party will solely be responsible for and bear all of its respective expenses, including expenses of legal counsel, investment bankers, consultants, accountants and other advisors, incurred at any time in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement. 
12.10    No Third Party Rights.  Except as set forth in Section 5.04(b), this Agreement is intended solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and is not intended to confer any benefits upon, or create any rights in favor of, any Person other than the parties hereto. 
12.11    Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance shall be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provisions to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby, and the intent of this Agreement shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law. 
ARTICLE THIRTEEN 
 
FORCED SALE PROVISION
13.01    Forced Sale Triggers.  At any time following (i) the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date hereof, or (ii) the seventh (7th) anniversary of the date hereof if GAHR is no longer an AHI Managed Company, either NHI or GAHR (the “Triggering Member”) shall have the right to cause the Company to sell all of its assets (the “Assets” which shall mean either (a) the Company’s entire ownership interest in Trilogy REIT, or (b) all of the direct and indirect assets owned through Trilogy REIT) in accordance with this Article Thirteen (a “Forced Sale”) by delivering written notice (a “Forced Sale Notice”) to the other Member (the “Non-Triggering Member”) indicating the Triggering Member’s election to exercise a Forced Sale.  The Forced Sale Notice shall specify (A) the proposed selling price (the “Forced Sale Price”) for the Assets, and (B) any other material terms of the proposed sale (collectively, with the Forced Sale Price, the “Forced Sale Terms”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, GAHR may only trigger a Forced Sale after the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date hereof (i.e., GAHR may not trigger a Forced Sale due to the occurrence of the event described in subpart (ii) above in this Section 13.01).
13.02    Forced Sale Election.  The Non-Triggering Member shall have the right to elect to purchase the Assets on substantially the same terms as contained in the Forced Sale Notice (including, without limitation, the same Forced Sale Price), such right to be exercised by delivery of written notice thereof to the Triggering Member (the “Forced Sale Purchase Notice”) within sixty (60) days following the Non-Triggering Member’s receipt of the Forced Sale Notice (such sixty (60) day period defined as the “Forced Sale Purchase Notice Period”).  If the Non-Triggering Member fails to timely deliver a Forced Sale Purchase Notice to the Triggering Member, then the Non-Triggering Member shall conclusively be deemed to have elected to not purchase the Assets.  If the Non-Triggering Member timely exercises its right to purchase the Assets on the Forced Sale 

39

Terms, then the Non-Triggering Member and the Triggering Member shall promptly enter into (or cause the appropriate parties to enter into) a legally-binding purchase and sale agreement and proceed with the purchase and sale of the Assets substantially in accordance with the Forced Sale Terms, all of the foregoing to be consummated by the Non-Triggering Member and the Triggering Member acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner.  The closing of the purchase of the Assets shall be held no later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the date the Non-Triggering Member delivers the Forced Sale Purchase Notice to the Triggering Member, subject to extension of up to an additional one hundred fifty (150) days if necessary in order to obtain any third party Consents required to consummate the Forced Sale.
13.03    Marketing of the Company.  If the Non-Triggering Member affirmatively elects to not purchase the Assets (or is deemed to have elected to not purchase the Assets), then the Triggering Member may cause the Company to cause a sale of the Assets.  The Assets shall be professionally marketed with appropriate financial advisors and brokers; provided, however, that (i) the Assets may only be sold to a bona fide third party purchaser, unaffiliated with the Triggering Member and (ii) as a condition to closing any such sale, the Non-Triggering Member and its Affiliates (unless waived by such Member) must be released on or prior to the closing date from any and all personal or recourse liability with respect to all Loans (including, without limitation, any liability associated with any guaranty or indemnity relating to a Loan).  The Non-Triggering Member shall cooperate with the Triggering Member, act in good faith and act in a commercially reasonable manner in the marketing and sale of the Assets, and shall make all such representations, warranties and covenants as may be reasonable and customary for comparable sales of assets and shall execute on behalf of the Company and the Member any and all agreements, instruments, certificates or other documents necessary or appropriate to effectuate the Forced Sale of the Assets in accordance with this Article Thirteen.
13.04    Closing.  If the Assets have not been sold within (A) in the event the Non-Triggering Member affirmatively elects to not purchase the Assets (or is deemed to have elected to not purchase the Assets), two hundred ten (210) days following the end of the Forced Sale Purchase Notice Period, subject to extension of up to an additional one hundred fifty (150) days if necessary in order to obtain any third party Consents required to consummate the Forced Sale, or (B) in the event the Non-Triggering Member elects to purchase the Assets but fails to close the purchase of the Assets within the time frame described in Section 13.02, two hundred ten (210) days following the last possible date that the Non-Triggering Member could have consummated the Forced Sale in accordance with Section 13.02, subject to extension of up to an additional one hundred fifty (150) days if necessary in order to obtain any third party Consents required to consummate the Forced Sale, then the Triggering Member’s right to cause the Company to cause a sale of the Assets based on the Forced Sale Terms set forth in such Forced Sale Notice shall terminate, and the Triggering Member may not thereafter unilaterally cause a sale of the Assets without again initiating the forced sales procedures contained in this Article Thirteen.
ARTICLE FOURTEEN 
 
BUY/SELL PROVISIONS

40

14.01    Exercise of Buy/Sell Rights.  At any time after the date on which NHI is not a NSAM Managed Company, if a Deadlock exists, then GAHR (the “Initiating Member”) may initiate the buy/sell procedure pursuant to this Article Fourteen by giving written notice (the “Value Notice”) to NHI (the “Electing Member” which shall include NHI, its Affiliates, and its successors and assigns) stating an amount not less than the aggregate of all indebtedness owing by the Company (the “Stated Amount”) to be used in the calculations under Section 14.02 below.  The Value Notice shall set forth a calculation, in reasonable detail, of the application of the Stated Amount to pay all Company obligations (including Member loans payable by the Company), and of all distributions to be made, resulting in specified purchase prices for each Member’s Units pursuant to Section 14.02 below.  The Electing Member shall have thirty (30) days from its receipt of the Value Notice to notify the Initiating Member in writing (the “Election Notice”) whether the Electing Member shall sell its Units in the Company to the Initiating Member or purchase the Initiating Member’s Units in the Company.  If the Electing Member shall fail to give a timely Election Notice, the Electing Member shall be deemed to have elected to sell its Units in the Company to the Initiating Member.
(a)    Treatment of Members and Affiliates.

(A)    to demand and receive specific performance of the Seller’s obligations to convey its Units as provided for herein;

(B)    to recover damages on account of the Seller’s failure to make conveyance (which rights shall be in addition to the right granted under subparagraph (A) above, if the Member so elects);

(C)    to terminate the obligations of the parties to proceed with the sale of the Units, whereupon the position of the parties shall revert to the status quo ante as if no notice to purchase from either party to the other had been given under the provisions of this Agreement; or
(D)    to effect the transfer of all of the Seller’s Units in the Company by executing, acknowledging and delivering all documents which are necessary to effect such transfer for, on behalf of, or in the stead of the Seller, and such execution, acknowledgment and delivery by the Buyer shall be for all purposes as effective against and binding upon such Seller as if the execution, acknowledgment and delivery had been by such Seller.  Each Member does hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint Manager as the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of such Member and his or her successors and assigns, in the name, place and stead of such Member or his or her successors or assigns, as the case may be, to execute, acknowledge and deliver such transfers and other documents contemplated in this Section 14.05(c)(i)(D).  It is expressly understood, intended and agreed by such Member for such Member and his or her successors and assigns, that the grant of the Power of Attorney to Manager, pursuant to this Agreement is coupled with an interest, is 

43

irrevocable and shall survive the death, incapacity, termination or legal incompetence of such Member. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any transfer, acknowledgment or delivery effectuated by this Power of Attorney shall be effective only at such time as the Buyer delivers the Buy/Sell Purchase Price to the Seller.  Refusal by the Seller to accept the Buy/Sell Purchase Price upon delivery shall not invalidate any transfer of all of the Seller’s Units in the Company pursuant to this Section 14.05(c)(i)(D).
If the Buyer elects the option described in Section 14.05(c)(i)(D) above, any deposit furnished by the Buyer shall be promptly returned to the Buyer, unless the Buyer determines to apply the deposit to payment of the purchase price.
(ii)    Buyer’s Failure.  In the event that the Buyer defaults in the closing of a sale of Units as herein provided, then the Seller shall have the option:
(A)    to elect to purchase the Buyer’s Units on the terms and conditions otherwise set forth herein, by notice to the Buyer of the Seller’s intention so to do, given within fifteen (15) days after such default in which event the Seller shall become the Buyer and the Buyer shall become the Seller, and all the applicable terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement with respect to such sales shall govern, except that the closing thereof shall take place thirty (30) days after such date of notice from the Seller (now the Buyer) to the Buyer (now the Seller) and except that the purchase price shall be ten percent (10%) less than the price which the Seller (now the Buyer) would have had to pay had such Buyer (now the Seller) originally elected to sell its Units;
(B)    to terminate the Seller’s obligation to convey its Units to the Buyer by notice to the Buyer, wherein the Seller shall have the right to retain any deposits given by the Buyer as security for the Buyer’s obligations, and to retain the proceeds thereof as the Seller’s own property, as liquidated damages on account of the Buyer’s default (all Members hereby acknowledging and agreeing that it is extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain the amount of damages which would be incurred by the Seller as a result of the Buyer’s default and that the amounts of such deposits shall be determined, when such transactions are proposed, as reasonable estimates of the damages the Seller would incur in such event), but otherwise the position of the parties shall revert to the status quo ante as if no notice from either party to the other had been given under the provisions of this Agreement; or
(C)    to demand and receive specific performance of the Buyer’s obligations to purchase the Seller’s Units.

Where the Seller elects the options described in Section 14.05(c)(ii)(A) or Section 14.05(c)(ii)(C) above, any deposits theretofore paid by the Buyer shall be returned to the Buyer after performance by the Buyer of the Buyer’s obligations hereunder.

44

14.06    Release of Seller.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, as a condition and prior to the Buy/Sell Closing under this Article Fourteen, the Seller and the Seller’s Affiliates (unless waived by the Seller) shall be released from any personal liability with respect to all Loans (including, without limitation, any liability associated with any guaranty or indemnity relating to a Loan).
