UMB BANK, N.A.
1010 Grand Boulevard
Kansas City, Missouri 64106

Re: Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV, Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

GRIFFIN-AMERICAN HEALTHCARE REIT IV, INC., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), will issue in a public offering (the “Offering”) shares of its common stock, consisting entirely of Class T common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Stock”) pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11 filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. GRIFFIN CAPITAL SECURITIES, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Dealer Manager”), will act as dealer manager for the offering of the Stock. The Company is entering into this Escrow Agreement (the “Agreement”) to set forth the terms on which UMB Bank, N.A. (the “Escrow Agent”) will, except as otherwise provided herein, hold and disburse the proceeds from subscriptions for the purchase of the Stock in the Offering until such time as (i) in the case of subscriptions received from both affiliates and nonaffiliates of the Company, other than from residents of Ohio, Washington and Pennsylvania, the Company has received subscriptions for Stock resulting in a total of $2,000,000 in shares of common stock sold in the Offering (the “Required Capital”); (ii) in the case of subscriptions received from residents of Ohio (“Ohio Subscribers”), the Company has received subscriptions for Stock resulting in a total of $10,000,000 in shares of Stock sold in the Offering (the “Ohio Required Capital”); (iii)in the case of subscriptions received from residents of Washington (“Washington Subscribers”), the Company has received subscriptions for Stock resulting in a total of $20,000,000 in shares of Stock sold in the Offering (the “Washington Required Capital”); and (iv) in the case of subscriptions received from residents of Pennsylvania (“Pennsylvania Subscribers”), the Company has received subscriptions for Stock resulting in a total of $150,000,000 in shares of Stock sold in the Offering (the “Pennsylvania Required Capital”).

The Company hereby appoints UMB Bank, N.A., as Escrow Agent for purposes of holding the proceeds from the subscriptions for the Stock, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth:

1. Until such time as the Company has received subscriptions for Stock resulting in total minimum capital raised equal to the Required Capital and such funds are disbursed from the Escrow Account (as defined below) in accordance with paragraph 3(a) hereof, persons subscribing to purchase the Stock (the “Subscribers”) will be instructed by the Dealer Manager or any soliciting dealers to remit the purchase price in the form of checks, drafts, wires, Automated Clearing House (ACH) or money orders (hereinafter, the “instrument of payment”), payable to the order of “UMB Bank Escrow Agent for Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV, Inc.” After subscriptions are received resulting in total minimum capital raised equal to the Required Capital and such funds are disbursed from the Escrow Account in accordance with paragraph 3(a) hereof, subscriptions shall continue to be so submitted and paid for by delivering an instrument of payment for the full purchase price made payable to “Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV, Inc.”; provided, however, that Ohio Subscribers, Washington Subscribers and Pennsylvania Subscribers shall continue to make instruments of payment payable to the order of “UMB Bank Escrow Agent for Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV, Inc.” until subscriptions are received resulting in total minimum capital raised equal to the Ohio Required Capital, the Washington Required Capital or the Pennsylvania Required Capital, as applicable, and such funds are disbursed from the Escrow 

1

Account in accordance with paragraph 3(a) hereof. Where, pursuant to a soliciting dealer’s internal supervisory procedures, final and internal supervisory review is conducted by the soliciting dealer at the same location at which subscription documents and instruments of payment are received from Subscribers, by noon of the next business day after receipt of an instrument of payment for the Offering, the Dealer Manager, the Company or their respective agents will (a) send to the Escrow Agent a copy of the relevant part of each Subscriber’s subscription agreement showing the Subscriber’s name, address, tax identification number (Substitute IRS Form W-9), number of shares purchased, and purchase price remitted, and (b) transmit the instrument of payment for deposit with the Escrow Agent, using the Escrow Agent’s electronic facilities, into an interest­ bearing deposit account entitled “Escrow Account for the Benefit of Subscribers for Common Stock of Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV, Inc.” (the “Escrow Account”), until such Escrow Account has closed pursuant to paragraph 3(a) hereof; provided, however, that instruments of payment received from Ohio Subscribers, Washington Subscribers and Pennsylvania Subscribers (as identified as such by the Company) shall be accounted for separately until the Escrow Account has closed pursuant to paragraph 3(a) hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, where, pursuant to a soliciting dealer’s internal supervisory procedures, final and internal supervisory review is conducted at a different location than that at which subscription documents and instruments of payment are received from Subscribers, instruments of payment will be transmitted not later than noon the next business day following receipt by the soliciting dealer to the office of the soliciting dealer conducting such final internal supervisory review (the “Final Review Office”). By noon the next business day following receipt at a different location by the Final Review Office, the Final Review Office will (x) send to the Escrow Agent a copy of the relevant part of each Subscriber’s subscription agreement showing the Subscriber’s name, address, tax identification number (Substitute IRS Form W-9), number of shares purchased, and purchase price remitted, and (y) transmit the instrument of payment from such Subscribers for deposit with the Escrow Agent in accordance with the deposit procedures set forth above. The Escrow Account will be established and maintained in such a way as to permit the interest income calculations described in paragraph 7. The Company shall, and shall cause its agents to, cooperate with the Escrow Agent in separately accounting for  Ohio, Washington and Pennsylvania subscription proceeds in the Escrow Account and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon information provided by the Company or its agents in this regard.

2. The Escrow Agent agrees to promptly process for collection the instrument of payment upon deposit into the Escrow Account. Deposits shall be held in the Escrow Account until such funds are disbursed in accordance with paragraph 3 hereof. Prior to disbursement of the funds deposited in the Escrow Account such funds shall not be subject to claims by creditors of the Escrow Agent, the Company, the Dealer Manager, any soliciting dealer or any of their respective affiliates. If the instrument of payment is returned to the Escrow Agent for nonpayment prior to receipt of the Required Capital or, in connection with subscriptions from Ohio Subscribers, the Ohio Required Capital, or, in connection with subscriptions from Washington Subscribers, the Washington Required Capital, or, in connection with subscriptions from Pennsylvania Subscribers, the Pennsylvania Required Capital, the Escrow Agent shall promptly notify the Dealer Manager and the Company in writing via mail, email or facsimile of such nonpayment, and is authorized to debit the Escrow Account in the amount of such returned payment as well as any interest earned on the amount of such payment.

3.     (a) Subject to the provisions of subparagraphs 3(b)-3(f) below,

(i) Once the collected funds in the Escrow Account are an amount equal to or greater than the Required Capital, the Escrow Agent shall, upon receiving written instruction from the Dealer Manager or the Company, (A) disburse to the Company, by check or wire transfer, the funds in the Escrow Account representing the gross purchase price for the Stock, and (B) within five business days after the first business day of the succeeding month, disburse to the Subscribers or the Company, as applicable, any interest thereon pursuant to the provisions of subparagraph 3(f). After such time the Escrow Account shall remain open and the Dealer Manager or Company shall continue to cause 

2

subscriptions for the Stock (other than subscriptions received from Ohio Subscribers, Washington Subscribers and Pennsylvania Subscribers that are subject to subparagraphs 3(a)(ii), 3(a)(iii) and 3(a)(iv) below) to be deposited therein until the Company informs the Escrow Agent in writing to close the Escrow Account. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “collected funds” shall mean all funds received by the Escrow Agent that have cleared normal banking channels and are in the form of cash or cash equivalent. After the satisfaction of the aforementioned provisions of this paragraph 3(a)(i), in the event the Company receives subscriptions made payable to the Escrow Agent (other than subscriptions received from Ohio Subscribers, Washington Subscribers and Pennsylvania Subscribers), subscription proceeds may continue to be received in this account generally, but to the extent such proceeds shall not be subject to escrow due to the satisfaction of the aforementioned provisions of this paragraph 3(a)(i), such proceeds are not subject to this Agreement and at the instruction of the Dealer Manager or the Company to the Escrow Agent shall be transferred from the Escrow Account to the Company.

(ii) Regardless of any release of funds from the Escrow Account, the Company, the Dealer Manager and soliciting dealers shall continue to forward instruments of payment received from Ohio Subscribers for deposit into the Escrow Account to the Escrow Agent until such time as the Dealer Manager or the Company notifies the Escrow Agent in writing that total subscription proceeds equal or exceed the Ohio Required Capital. Upon the receipt by the Escrow Agent of such notice, the Escrow Agent shall (A) disburse to the Company, by check or wire transfer, the funds in the Escrow Account representing the gross purchase price for the Stock, and (B) within five business days after the first business day of the succeeding month, disburse to the Ohio Subscribers or the Company, as applicable, any interest thereon pursuant to the provisions of subparagraph 3(f). Thereafter any instruments of payment received by the Escrow Agent from Ohio Subscribers shall not be subject to this Escrow Agreement and shall be deposited directly into the Escrow Account (or to the Company, if it has closed the Escrow Account, as instructed in writing by the Company pursuant to subparagraph 3(a)(i) above).

(iii) Regardless of any release of funds from the Escrow Account, the Company, the Dealer Manager and soliciting dealers shall continue to forward instruments of payment received from Washington Subscribers for deposit into the Escrow Account to the Escrow Agent until such time as the Dealer Manager or the Company notifies the Escrow Agent in writing that total subscription proceeds equal or exceed the Washington Required Capital. Upon the receipt by the Escrow Agent of such notice, the Escrow Agent shall (A) disburse to the Company, by check or wire transfer, the funds in the Escrow Account representing the gross purchase price for the Stock, and (B) within five business days after the first business day of the succeeding month, disburse to the Washington Subscribers or the Company, as applicable, any interest thereon pursuant to the provisions of subparagraph 3(f). Thereafter any instruments of payment received by the Escrow Agent from Washington Subscribers shall not be subject to this Escrow Agreement and shall be deposited directly into the Escrow Account (or to the Company, if it has closed the Escrow Account, as instructed in writing by the Company pursuant to subparagraph 3(a)(i) above).

(iv) Regardless of any release of funds from the Escrow Account, the Company, the Dealer Manager and soliciting dealers shall continue to forward instruments of payment received from Pennsylvania Subscribers for deposit into the Escrow Account to the Escrow Agent until such time as the Dealer Manager or the Company notifies the Escrow Agent in writing that total subscription proceeds equal or exceed the Pennsylvania Required Capital. Upon the receipt by the Escrow Agent of such notice, the Escrow Agent shall (A) disburse to the Company, by check or wire transfer, the funds in the Escrow Account representing the gross purchase price for the Stock, and (B) within five business days after the first business day of the succeeding month, disburse to the Pennsylvania Subscribers or the Company, as applicable, any interest thereon pursuant to the provisions of subparagraph 3(f). Thereafter any instruments of payment received by the Escrow Agent from Pennsylvania Subscribers shall not be subject to this Escrow Agreement 

3

and shall be deposited directly into the Escrow Account (or to the Company, if it has closed the Escrow Account, as instructed in writing by the Company pursuant to subparagraph 3(a)(i) above).

(b) Within four business days of the close of business on the date that is one year following commencement of the Offering (the Company will notify the Escrow Agent of the commencement of the Offering) (the “Expiration Date”), the Escrow Agent shall promptly notify the Company if it is not in receipt of evidence of deposits for the purchase of Stock providing for aggregate offering proceeds that equal or exceed the Required Capital (from all sources, including any funds received from subscriptions for Stock from entities which are affiliated with the Company). Within ten days following the date of such notice, the Escrow Agent shall promptly return directly to each Subscriber the collected funds deposited in the Escrow Account on behalf of such Subscriber, or shall return the instrument of payment delivered, but not yet processed for collection prior to such time, in either case, together with interest income, if any (which interest shall be paid within five business days after the first business day of the succeeding month), in the amounts calculated pursuant to paragraph 7 for each Subscriber at the address provided by the Dealer Manager or the Company to the Escrow Agent, which the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon. However, the Escrow Agent shall not be required to remit any payments until the Escrow Agent has collected funds represented by such payments.

(c) Notwithstanding subparagraphs 3(a) and 3(b) above, if on or before the close of business on such date that is 120 days after a Pennsylvania Subscriber’s subscription for Stock received by the Company (with respect to each Pennsylvania Subscriber, the “Initial Escrow Period”) (such subscription date shall be promptly provided to the Escrow Agent by the Company after each subscription for Stock received by the Company from a Pennsylvania Subscriber), the Escrow Agent is not in receipt of instruments of payment dated not later than that date in an amount that, when added to the total subscription proceeds as of such date, equals or exceeds the Pennsylvania Required Capital, the Company or the Dealer Manager shall send to the applicable Pennsylvania Subscriber within ten (10) calendar days after the end of such Pennsylvania Subscriber’s Initial Escrow Period a notification in the form of Exhibit C. If, pursuant to such notification, the applicable Pennsylvania Subscriber requests the return of his or her subscription funds within ten (10) calendar days after receipt of the notification (the “Request Period”), the Company or the Dealer Manager shall notify the Escrow Agent of such request by the close of business on the next business day after receipt of the request from such Pennsylvania Subscriber. Within fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of notice of such request from the Company or the Dealer Manager, the Escrow Agent shall deliver directly to the applicable Pennsylvania Subscriber the collected funds from instruments of payment deposited in the Escrow Account on behalf of such Pennsylvania Subscriber, together with interest income in the amount calculated pursuant to paragraph 7. However, the Escrow Agent shall not be required to remit such payments until the Escrow Agent has collected funds represented by such payments.

(d) The subscription funds of each Pennsylvania Subscriber who does not request the return of their subscription funds within the Request Period shall remain in the Escrow Account for successive 120-day escrow periods (with respect to each Pennsylvania Subscriber, a “Successive Escrow Period”), each commencing automatically upon the termination of the respective Pennsylvania Subscriber’s Initial Escrow Period or prior Successive Escrow Period, as applicable, and the Company and the Escrow Agent shall follow the notification and payment procedure set forth in paragraph 3(c) above with respect to the Initial Escrow Period for each Pennsylvania Subscriber’s Successive Escrow Period until the occurrence of the earliest of (i) such time as the Dealer Manager or the Company notifies the Escrow Agent in writing pursuant to paragraph 3(a)(iv) that total subscription proceeds equal or exceed the Pennsylvania Required Capital and the disbursement of the Escrow Account on the terms specified herein, or (ii) all funds held in the Escrow Account having been returned to the Pennsylvania Subscribers in accordance with the provisions hereof.

4

(e) If the Company rejects any subscription for which the Escrow Agent has collected funds, the Escrow Agent shall, upon the written request of the Dealer Manager or the Company, promptly issue a refund to the rejected Subscriber at the address provided by the Dealer Manager or the Company, which the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon. If the Company rejects any subscription for which the Escrow Agent has not yet collected funds but has submitted the Subscriber’s check for collection, the Escrow Agent shall promptly return the funds in the amount of the Subscriber’s check to the rejected Subscriber, at the address provided by the Dealer Manager or the Company or their respective agents, which the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, after such funds have been collected.

(f) At any time after funds are disbursed upon the Company’s acceptance of subscriptions pursuant to subparagraph 3(a) above on the fifth business day following the first business day of the next succeeding month following the date of such acceptance, the Escrow Agent shall, upon receiving written instruction from the Dealer Manager or the Company, promptly provide directly to each Subscriber the amount of the interest payable, if any, to the Subscribers. However, the Escrow Agent shall not be required to remit any payments until the Escrow Agent has collected funds represented by such payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a Subscriber has failed to remit an executed and valid IRS Form W-9 to the Escrow Agent prior to the date the Subscriber’s funds are to be returned, the Escrow Agent will withhold from such funds thirty percent (30%) of the earnings attributable to such Subscriber in accordance with applicable Treasury regulations.

In the event that the instrument of payment is returned for nonpayment, the Escrow Agent is authorized to debit the Escrow Account in accordance with paragraph 2 hereof.

4. The Escrow Agent shall, upon request, provide the Dealer Manager and the Company with electronic access to view the account balance and account activity in the Escrow Account and shall provide the Company printed monthly statements (or more frequently as reasonably requested by the Company) on the account balance of the Escrow Account and the activity in such accounts since the last report.

5. Prior to the disbursement of funds deposited in the Escrow Account, in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 3 hereof, the Escrow Agent shall invest all of the funds deposited as well as earnings and interest derived therefrom in the Escrow Account in the “Short-Term Investments” specified below at the written direction of the Company, unless the costs to the Company for the making of such investment are reasonably expected to exceed the anticipated interest earnings from such investment in which case the funds and interest thereon shall remain in the respective escrow account until the balance in the escrow account reaches the minimum amount necessary for the anticipated interest earnings from such investment to exceed the costs to the Company for the making of such investment, as determined by the Company based upon applicable interest rates. In the absence of written direction of the Company, the Escrow Agent is hereby directed to invest all funds deposited in the Escrow Account in UMB Money Market Special, an interest-bearing bank money-market account.

“Short-Term Investments” include obligations of, or obligations guaranteed by, the United States government or bank money­ market accounts or certificates of deposit of national or state banks that have deposits insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (including certificates of deposit of any bank acting as a depository or custodian for any such funds) which mature on or before the Expiration Date, unless such instrument cannot be readily sold or otherwise disposed of for cash by the Expiration Date without any dissipation of the offering proceeds invested. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Exhibit A hereto sets forth specific Short-Term Investments that shall be deemed permissible investments hereunder.

5

The following securities are not permissible investments:
(a) money market funds;
(b) corporate equity or debt securities;
(c) repurchase agreements;
(d) bankers’ acceptances;
(e) commercial paper; and
(f) municipal securities.

It is hereby expressly agreed and stipulated by the parties hereto that the Escrow Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion hereunder and shall have no investment or management responsibility and, accordingly, shall have no duty to, or liability for its failure to, provide investment recommendations or investment advice to the parties hereto. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Escrow Agent shall never be required to use, advance or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or the exercise of any of its rights and powers hereunder.

6. The Escrow Agent is entitled to rely upon written instructions received from the Company or the Dealer Manager or their respective agents, unless the Escrow Agent has actual knowledge that such instructions are not valid or genuine; provided that, if in the Escrow Agent’s opinion, any instructions from the Company or the Dealer Manager or their respective agents are unclear, the Escrow Agent may request clarification from the Company or the Dealer Manager or their respective agents, as applicable, prior to taking any action, and if such instructions continue to be unclear, the Escrow Agent may rely upon written instructions from the Company’s legal counsel in distributing or continuing to hold any funds. However, the Escrow Agent shall not be required to disburse any funds attributable to the instrument of payment that have not been processed for collection, until such funds are collected and then shall disburse such funds in compliance with the disbursement instructions from the Company or the Dealer Manager or their respective agents.

7. If the Offering terminates prior to receipt of the Required Capital or, with respect to Ohio Subscribers, Washington Subscribers and Pennsylvania Subscribers, the Ohio Required Capital, the Washington Required Capital or the Pennsylvania Required Capital, as applicable, interest income, if any, earned on subscription proceeds deposited in the Escrow Account (the “Escrow Income”) shall be remitted to Subscribers to the address provided by the Dealer Manager or the Company to the Escrow Agent, which the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon in accordance with paragraph 3 and without any deductions for escrow expenses. The Company shall reimburse the Escrow Agent for all escrow expenses. If the Escrow Agent remits interest income pursuant to this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall be responsible for any necessary federal tax reporting associated with such income; provided, however, that the Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for any other tax reporting associated with this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall remit all such Escrow Income in accordance with paragraph 3. If the Company chooses to leave the Escrow Account open after receiving the Required Capital then it shall make regular acceptances of subscriptions therein, but no less frequently than monthly, and the Escrow Income from the last such acceptance shall be calculated and remitted to the Subscribers or the Company, as applicable, pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 3(f).

8. The Escrow Agent shall receive compensation from the Company as set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto, which such Exhibit B is hereby incorporated by reference.

9. In performing any of its duties hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall not incur any liability to anyone for any damages, losses, or expenses, except for willful misconduct, breach of trust, or gross negligence. Accordingly, the Escrow Agent 

6

shall not incur any such liability with respect to any action taken or omitted (a) in good faith upon advice of the Escrow Agent’s counsel given with respect to any questions relating to the Escrow Agent duties and responsibilities under this Agreement, or (b) in reliance upon any instrument, including any written instrument or instruction provided for in this Agreement, not only as to its due execution and validity and effectiveness of its provisions but also as to the truth and accuracy of information contained therein, which the Escrow Agent shall in good faith believe to be genuine, to have been signed or presented by a proper person or persons and to conform to the provisions of this Agreement.

10. The Company and the Dealer Manager hereby agree to indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, that may be imposed on or incurred by the Escrow Agent in connection with acceptance of appointment as the Escrow Agent hereunder, or the performance of the duties hereunder, including any litigation arising from this Agreement or involving the subject matter hereof, except where such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses result from willful misconduct, breach of trust, or gross negligence on the part of the Escrow Agent. Venue for any action or litigation arising between or among the Company and/or Dealer Manager on one hand and the Escrow Agent on the other hand involving the subject matter hereof shall lie exclusively in Orange County, California.

11. In the event of a dispute between the parties hereto sufficient in the Escrow Agent’s discretion to justify doing so, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to tender into the registry or custody of any court of competent jurisdiction all money or property in its hands under this Agreement, together with such legal pleadings as deemed appropriate, and thereupon be discharged from all further duties and liabilities under this Agreement. In the event of any uncertainty as to the duties hereunder, the Escrow Agent may refuse to act under the provisions of this Agreement pending order of a court of competent jurisdiction and shall have no liability to the Company or to any other person as a result of such action. Any such legal action may be brought in such court, as the Escrow Agent shall determine to have jurisdiction thereof. The filing of any such legal proceedings shall not deprive the Escrow Agent of its compensation earned prior to such filing.

12. All communications and notices required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered personally or by messenger or by overnight delivery service or when received via telecopy or other electronic transmission, in all cases addressed to the person for whom it is intended at such person’s address set forth below or to such other address as a party shall have designated by notice in writing to the other party in the manner provided by this paragraph:

The application of said funds into a deposit account or to forward such funds directly to the Company, in either case directed by the Company, shall be a full acquittance to the Escrow Agent, who shall not be responsible for the application of said funds thereafter.

22. Neither the Escrow Agent, nor its agents, shall have responsibility for accepting, rejecting, or approving subscriptions.

23. This Agreement shall not be modified, revoked, released, or terminated unless reduced to writing and signed by all parties hereto, subject to the following paragraph.

27.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), is registering for public sale a maximum of up to $3.15 billion in shares (the “Shares”) of its common stock (the “Offering”), consisting of (a) up to $3.00 billion in shares of Class T common stock, $0.01 par value per share, in the primary offering at an initial price of $10.00 per share (subject in certain circumstances to discounts based upon the volume of shares purchased and for certain categories of purchasers), and (b) up to $150 million in Shares pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan at a purchase price of 95.0% of the primary offering price per share, or $9.50 per Share assuming a $10.00 per Share primary offering price, all upon the other terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Prospectus (as defined in Section 1.1, below). The Company has reserved the right to reallocate the Shares offered between the primary offering and the distribution reinvestment plan. The minimum purchase by any one person shall be $2,500 in Shares except as otherwise indicated in the Prospectus or in any letter or memorandum from the Company to Griffin Capital Securities, LLC (the “Dealer Manager”). It is anticipated that the Dealer Manager will enter into Participating Dealer Agreements in the form attached to this Dealer Manager Agreement with other broker-dealers participating in the Offering (each dealer being referred to herein as a “Dealer” and said dealers being collectively referred to herein as the “Dealers”). The Company shall have the right to approve any material modifications or addendums to the form of the Participating Dealer Agreement. Terms not defined herein shall have the same meaning as in the Prospectus. In connection therewith, the Company hereby agrees with the Dealer Manager, as follows:
		
	1.
	REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY.

The Company represents and warrants to the Dealer Manager and each Dealer with whom the Dealer Manager enters into a Participating Dealer Agreement that:
1.1    A registration statement with respect to the Company has been prepared by the Company in accordance with applicable requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the applicable rules and regulations (the “Rules and Regulations”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) promulgated thereunder, covering the Shares. Said registration statement, which includes a preliminary prospectus, was initially filed with the SEC on July 30, 2015 (Registration No. 333-205960). Copies of such registration statement and each amendment thereto have been or will be delivered to the Dealer Manager. The registration statement and prospectus contained therein, as finally amended and revised as of the effective date of the registration statement, and as may be revised, amended or modified from 

1

time to time thereafter by any amendments (as to the registration statement) and/or supplements (as to the prospectus), are respectively hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement” and the “Prospectus,” except that if the Prospectus filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act shall differ from the Prospectus, the term “Prospectus” shall also include the Prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b).
1.2    The Company has been duly organized and is validly existing as a corporation under the laws of the State of Maryland, has the power and authority to conduct its business as described in the Prospectus.
1.3    On the effective date of the Registration Statement (including the effective date of any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement), and on the date of the Prospectus (including the SEC filing date of the Prospectus or any supplement to the Prospectus), the Registration Statement and Prospectus comply with the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations, and the Prospectus, as of the date of the Prospectus, and any and all authorized printed sales literature or other sales materials prepared and authorized by the Company for use with potential investors in connection with the Offering (“Authorized Sales Materials”), during such time as such Authorized Sales Materials are authorized by the Company for use in conjunction with the Prospectus, do not contain any untrue statements of material facts or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that (i) the Company undertakes to immediately notify the Dealer Manager in writing (electronic or otherwise) at the time any of the Authorized Sales Materials are no longer authorized by the Company for use, which notice shall (notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13 hereof) be effective upon receipt by the Dealer Manager, and (ii) the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.3 will not extend to such statements contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement or Prospectus or Authorized Sales Materials as are primarily within the knowledge of the Dealer Manager or any of the Dealers and are based upon information either (a) furnished by a Dealer in writing to the Dealer Manager or the Company, or (b) furnished by the Dealer Manager in writing to the Company specifically for inclusion therein.
1.4    The Company intends to use the funds received from the sale of the Shares as set forth in the Prospectus.
1.5    No consent, approval, authorization or other order of any governmental authority is required in connection with the execution or delivery by the Company of this Dealer Manager Agreement or the issuance and sale by the Company of the Shares, except such as may be required under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws.
1.6    There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company at law or in equity or before or by any federal or state commission, regulatory body or administrative agency or other governmental body, domestic or foreign, which would be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on the business or property of the Company.
1.7    The execution and delivery of this Dealer Manager Agreement, the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated and compliance with the terms of this Dealer Manager Agreement by the Company will not conflict with or constitute a default under any charter, bylaw, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease, rule, regulation, writ, injunction or decree of any government, governmental instrumentality or court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company, except (i) to the extent that the enforceability of the indemnity and/or contribution provisions contained in Section 4 of this Dealer Manager Agreement may 

2

be limited under applicable securities laws, and (ii) for such conflicts or defaults that would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business or property of the Company.
1.8    The Company has full legal right, power and authority to enter into this Dealer Manager Agreement and to perform the transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent that the enforceability of the indemnity and/or contribution provisions contained in Section 4 of this Dealer Manager Agreement may be limited under applicable securities laws.
1.9    The Shares, when subscribed for, paid for and issued, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and will conform to the description thereof contained in the Prospectus; no holder thereof will be subject to personal liability for the obligations of the Company solely by reason of being such a holder; such Shares are not subject to the preemptive rights of any stockholder of the Company; and all corporate action required to be taken for the authorization, issuance and sale of such Shares shall have been validly and sufficiently taken.
1.10    The Company is not in violation of its Articles of Incorporation or its Bylaws.
1.11    The financial statements of the Company filed as part of the Registration Statement and those included in the Prospectus present fairly in all material respects the financial position of the Company as of the date indicated and the results of its operations for the periods indicated; said financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis.
1.12    The Company does not intend to conduct its business so as to be an “investment company” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, and it will exercise reasonable diligence to ensure that it does not become an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
		
	2.
	COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

The Company covenants and agrees with the Dealer Manager that:
2.1    It will prepare and file with the SEC and each appropriate state securities commission, at no expense to the Dealer Manager, the Registration Statement, including all amendments and exhibits thereto. In addition, it will furnish the Dealer Manager, at no expense to the Dealer Manager, with such number of printed copies of the Registration Statement, including all amendments and exhibits thereto, as the Dealer Manager may reasonably request. It will similarly furnish to the Dealer Manager and others designated by the Dealer Manager as many copies as the Dealer Manager may reasonably request in connection with the offering of the Shares of: (a) the Prospectus in preliminary and final form and every form of supplemental or amended prospectus; and (b) this Dealer Manager Agreement.
2.2    It will prepare and file with the appropriate regulatory authorities, at no expense to the Dealer Manager, the Authorized Sales Materials. In addition, it will furnish the Dealer Manager, at no expense to the Dealer Manager, with such number of printed copies of Authorized Sales Materials as the Dealer Manager may reasonably request.
2.3    It will furnish such proper information and execute and file such documents as may be necessary for the Company to qualify the Shares for offer and sale under the securities laws of such jurisdictions as the Dealer Manager may reasonably designate and will file and make in each year such 

3

statements and reports as may be required. The Company will furnish to the Dealer Manager a copy of such papers filed by the Company in connection with any such qualification upon the Dealer Manager’s request.
2.4    It will use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective with the SEC and each state securities commission which it deems appropriate in its sole discretion. If at any time the SEC or any state securities commission shall issue any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and to the extent the Company determines that such action is in the best interest of its stockholders, it will use its best efforts to obtain the lifting of such order at the earliest possible time.
2.5    If at any time when a Prospectus is required to be delivered under the Securities Act any event occurs as a result of which, in the opinion of either the Company or the Dealer Manager, the Prospectus or any other prospectus then in effect would include an untrue statement of a material fact or, in view of the circumstances under which they were made, omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, the Company will promptly notify the Dealer Manager thereof (unless the information shall have been received from the Dealer Manager) and will affect the preparation of an amended or supplemental prospectus which will correct such statement or omission. The Company will then promptly prepare such amended or supplemental prospectus or prospectuses as may be necessary to comply with the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act.
2.6    Each of the representations and warranties contained in this Dealer Manager Agreement are true and correct as of the date of this Dealer Manager Agreement and the Company will comply with each covenant and agreement contained in this Dealer Manager Agreement.
2.7    It will be duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which it will own or lease property of a nature, or transact business of a type, that will make such qualification necessary.
2.8    It intends to satisfy the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), for qualification of the Company as a real estate investment trust. The Company will elect to be treated as a real estate investment trust under the Code at such time as it so qualifies after it commences material operations and will direct the investment of the proceeds of the offering of the Shares in such a manner, and will exercise reasonable diligence to operate the business of the Company so as to comply with such requirements.

	OBLIGATIONS AND COMPENSATION OF DEALER MANAGER.

3.1    The Company hereby appoints the Dealer Manager as its agent and principal distributor for the purpose of selling for cash up to a maximum of $3.15 billion in Shares through the Dealers, all of whom shall be members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). The Dealer Manager may also sell Shares for cash directly to its own clients and customers at the public offering price and subject to the terms and conditions stated in the Prospectus. The Dealer Manager hereby accepts such agency and distributorship and agrees to use its best efforts to sell the Shares on said terms and conditions. The Dealer Manager represents to the Company that it is a member of FINRA and that it and its employees and representatives have all required licenses and registrations to act under this Dealer Manager Agreement.
The Dealer Manager agrees to be bound to the terms of the Escrow Agreement executed by and among UMB Bank, N.A., as escrow agent, the Dealer Manager and the Company.

4

3.2    Promptly after the effective date of the Registration Statement, the Dealer Manager and the Dealers shall commence the offering of the Shares for cash to the public in jurisdictions in which the Shares are registered or qualified for sale or in which such offering is otherwise permitted. The Dealer Manager and the Dealers will suspend or terminate offering of the Shares upon request of the Company at any time and will resume offering the Shares upon subsequent request of the Company.
3.3    Except as otherwise provided in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus, as compensation for the services rendered by the Dealer Manager, the Company agrees that it will pay to the Dealer Manager, at the time of the sale of Shares pursuant to the primary offering, selling commissions in the amount of 3.0% of the gross proceeds of the Shares sold in the primary offering, and the Company and Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV Advisor, LLC (the “Advisor”) agree that they will pay to the Dealer Manager, at the time of the sale of Shares pursuant to the primary offering, an aggregate dealer manager fee in the amount of 3.0% of the gross proceeds of Shares sold in the primary offering, of which 1.0% of the gross proceeds of Shares sold in the primary offering will be funded by the Company and 2.0% of the gross proceeds of Shares sold in the primary offering will be funded by the Advisor. In addition, the Company agrees that it will pay to the Dealer Manager a quarterly stockholder servicing fee in the aggregate amount of up to 4.0% of the gross proceeds of the Shares sold in the primary offering, which stockholder servicing fee will accrue daily in an amount equal to 1/365th of 1.0% of the purchase price per share (or, once reported by the Company, the amount of the Company’s estimated net asset value per share) of Shares sold, excluding Shares sold pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan. The Company will cease paying the stockholder servicing fee with respect to Shares sold in the Offering at the earliest of (i) the date at which the aggregate underwriting compensation from all sources equals 10.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of Shares in the primary portion of the Offering, (i.e., excluding proceeds from sales pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan); (ii) the fourth anniversary of the last day of the fiscal quarter in which the Offering (excluding the distribution reinvestment plan offering) terminates; (iii) the date that such Share is redeemed or is no longer outstanding; and (iv) the occurrence of a merger of the Company, listing of the Shares on a national securities exchange, or an extraordinary transaction by the Company. The stockholder servicing fee relates to the share or shares sold. The Dealer Manager may, in its discretion, re-allow to Dealers up to 100% of the stockholder servicing fee for services that such Dealers perform in connection with the Shares; provided, however, that with respect to any individual investment, the Dealer Manager will not re-allow the related stockholder servicing fee to a Dealer if such Dealer ceases to hold the account related to such investment. In addition, the Dealer Manager will not re-allow the stockholder servicing fee to any Dealer if such Dealer has not executed a Participating Dealer Agreement with the Dealer Manager or if the Dealer’s previously executed Participating Dealer Agreement with the Dealer Manager is terminated. In any instance in which the Dealer Manager does not re-allow the stockholder servicing fee to a Dealer, the Dealer Manager will return such fee to the Company. No selling commissions or dealer manager fee shall be paid with respect to Shares sold pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no commissions, payments or amount whatsoever will be paid to the Dealer Manager under this Section 3.3 unless or until $2,000,000 in Shares have been sold by the Dealer Manager and its Dealers (the “Minimum Offering”). Until the Minimum Offering is obtained, proceeds from the sale of Shares will be held in escrow and, if the Minimum Offering is not obtained, will be returned to the investors in accordance with the terms of the Prospectus. In no event shall the total aggregate underwriting compensation payable to the Dealer Manager and any Dealers participating in the Offering, including, but not limited to, selling commissions and the dealer manager fee (which includes expense reimbursements and non-cash compensation), exceed 10.0% of gross offering proceeds in the 

5

aggregate. The Company and the Advisor will not be liable or responsible to any Dealer for direct payment of commissions to any Dealer, it being the sole and exclusive responsibility of the Dealer Manager for payment of commissions to Dealers. Notwithstanding the above, at the discretion of the Company, the Company may act as agent of the Dealer Manager by making direct payment of commissions to Dealers on behalf of the Dealer Manager without incurring any liability.
3.4    The Dealer Manager represents and warrants to the Company and each person that signs the Registration Statement that the information under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in the Prospectus and all other information furnished to the Company by the Dealer Manager in writing expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.
3.5    The Dealer Manager represents and warrants to the Company that it will not use any sales literature not authorized and approved by the Company, use any “broker-dealer use only” materials with members of the public, or make any unauthorized verbal representations in connection with offers or sales or the Shares.
3.6    The Dealer Manager is a duly organized and validly existing limited liability company under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Dealer Manager is not in violation of its Operating Agreement.
3.7    No consent, approval, authorization or other order of any governmental authority is required in connection with the execution or delivery by the Dealer Manager of this Dealer Manager Agreement, except such as may be required under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws.
3.8    There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or to the knowledge of the Dealer Manager, threatened against the Dealer Manager at law or in equity or before or by any federal or state commission, regulatory body or administrative agency or other governmental body, domestic or foreign, which could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on the Dealer Manager or the ability of the Dealer Manager to perform its obligations under this Agreement or to participate in the Offering as contemplated by the Prospectus.
3.9    The execution and delivery of this Dealer Manager Agreement, the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated and compliance with the terms of this Dealer Manager Agreement by the Dealer Manager will not conflict with or constitute a default under any operating agreement or other similar agreement, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease, rule, regulation, writ, injunction or decree of any government, governmental instrumentality or court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Dealer Manager, except to the extent that the enforceability of the indemnity and/or contribution provisions contained in Section 4 of this Dealer Manager Agreement may be limited under applicable securities laws.
3.10    The Dealer Manager has full legal right, power and authority to enter into this Dealer Manager Agreement and to perform the transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent that the enforceability of the indemnity and/or contribution provisions contained in Section 4 of this Dealer Manager Agreement may be limited under applicable securities laws.

6

3.11    Except for Participating Dealer Agreements, no agreement will be made by the Dealer Manager with any person permitting the resale, repurchase or distribution of any Shares purchased by such person.
3.12    The Dealer Manager represents and warrants to the Company that it will not represent or imply that the escrow agent, as identified in the Prospectus, has investigated the desirability or advisability of investment in the Company, or has approved, endorsed or passed upon the merits of the Shares or the Company, nor will they use the name of said escrow agent in any manner whatsoever in connection with the offer or sale of the Shares other than by acknowledgement that it has agreed to serve as escrow agent.

Each such Dealer will reimburse the Company and the Dealer Manager and any such directors or officers, or controlling person, in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which such Dealer may otherwise have.
4.7    Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 4 of notice of the commencement of any action (but in no event in excess of 30 days after receipt of actual notice), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 4, notify in writing the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof and the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will relieve it from any liability under this Section 4 as to the particular item for which indemnification is then being sought, but not from any other liability which it may have to any indemnified party. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, to the extent it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to participate in the defense thereof, with separate counsel. Such participation shall not relieve such indemnifying party of the obligation to reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable legal and other expenses (subject to Section 4.7) incurred by such indemnified party in defending itself, except for such expenses incurred after the indemnifying party has deposited funds sufficient to effect the settlement, with prejudice, of the claim in respect of which indemnity is sought. Any such indemnifying party shall not be liable to any such indemnified party on account of any settlement of any claim or action effected without the consent of such indemnifying party.

10

4.8    The indemnifying party shall pay all reasonable legal fees and expenses of the indemnified party in the defense of such claims or actions; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be obliged to pay legal expenses and fees to more than one law firm in connection with the defense of similar claims arising out of the same alleged acts or omissions giving rise to such claims notwithstanding that such actions or claims are alleged or brought by one or more parties against more than one indemnified party. If such claims or actions are alleged or brought against more than one indemnified party, then the indemnifying party shall only be obligated to reimburse the expenses and fees of the one law firm that has been selected by a majority of the indemnified parties against which such action is finally brought; and in the event a majority of such indemnified parties is unable to agree on which law firm for which expenses or fees will be reimbursable by the indemnifying party, then payment shall be made to the first law firm of record representing an indemnified party against the action or claim. Such law firm shall be paid only to the extent of services performed by such law firm and no reimbursement shall be payable to such law firm on account of legal services performed by another law firm.
4.9    The indemnity agreements contained in this Section 4 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (a) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Dealer, or any person controlling any Dealer or by or on behalf of the Company, the Dealer Manager or any officer or director thereof, or by or on behalf of the Company or the Dealer Manager, (b) delivery of any Shares and payment therefor, and (c) any termination of this Dealer Manager Agreement or any Participating Dealer Agreement. A successor of any Dealer or of any of the parties to this Dealer Manager Agreement, as the case may be, shall be entitled to the benefits of the indemnity agreements contained in this Section 4.

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

The Dealer Manager and the Company have entered into that certain Dealer Manager Agreement dated February 16, 2016, in the form attached hereto. By your acceptance of this Participating Dealer Agreement, you will become one of the Dealers referred to in such Dealer Manager Agreement between the Company and the Dealer Manager and will be entitled and subject to the indemnification provisions contained in such Dealer Manager Agreement, including specifically the provisions of Section 4.6 of such Dealer Manager Agreement wherein each Dealer severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Dealer Manager and each officer and director thereof, and each person, if any, who controls the Company and the Dealer Manager within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), for the matters set forth in Section 4.6 of the Dealer Manager Agreement. Such indemnification obligations shall survive the termination of this Participating Dealer Agreement. Except as otherwise specifically stated herein, all terms used in this Participating Dealer Agreement have the meanings provided in the Dealer Manager Agreement. The Shares are offered solely through broker-dealers who are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”).
Dealer hereby agrees to use its best efforts to sell the Shares for cash on the terms and conditions stated in the Prospectus. Nothing in this Participating Dealer Agreement shall be deemed or construed to make Dealer an employee, agent, representative or partner of the Dealer Manager or of the Company, and Dealer is not authorized to act for the Dealer Manager or the Company or to make any representations except as set forth in the Prospectus and Authorized Sales Materials.
		
	II.
	Submission of Orders.

Subscribers may purchase Shares utilizing checks, drafts, wires, Automatic Clearing House (ACH) or money orders. Those persons who purchase Shares will be instructed by the Dealer to make their instruments of payment payable to “UMB Bank, N.A., Escrow Agent for Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV, Inc.” where appropriate, or directly to Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV, Inc. after the Minimum Offering has been achieved. Any Dealer receiving an instrument of payment not conforming to the foregoing instructions shall return such instrument of payment directly to such subscriber not later than 

A-1

Instruments of payment received by the Dealer which conform to the foregoing instructions shall be transmitted for deposit pursuant to one of the methods in this Article II.

Where, pursuant to the Dealer’s internal supervisory procedures, internal supervisory review is conducted at the same location at which subscription documents and instruments of payment are received from subscribers, instruments of payment will be transmitted not later than noon the next business day following receipt by the Dealer to the Company’s transfer agent for deposit with an escrow agent, where appropriate, or for deposit directly with the Company.
Where, pursuant to the Dealer’s internal supervisory procedures, final and internal supervisory review is conducted at a different location, instruments of payment will be transmitted not later than noon the next business day following receipt by the Dealer to the office of the Dealer conducting such final internal supervisory review (the “Final Review Office”). The Final Review Office will in turn transmit not later than noon the next business day following receipt at a different location by the Final Review Office such instruments of payment to the Company’s transfer agent for deposit with an escrow agent, where appropriate, or for deposit directly with the Company.
		
	III.

Except as otherwise indicated in the Prospectus or in any letter or memorandum sent to the Dealer by the Company or Dealer Manager, a minimum initial purchase of $2,500 in Shares is required. The Shares are nonassessable.
		
	IV.
	Representations and Warranties of Dealer.

Dealer represents and warrants to the Company and the Dealer Manager and agrees that:
A.    Dealer will undertake all reasonable investigation, review, and inquiry to ensure, to the best of its reasonable knowledge and belief, that the investment is suitable for such potential investor upon the basis of the information known to Dealer or disclosed by such potential investor as to his other security holdings and as to his financial situation and needs. Dealer shall keep written records supporting this representation and warranty and such records shall be made available to the Company or Dealer Manager promptly upon request.
B.    Dealer shall deliver to each prospective investor, prior to any submission by such prospective investor of a written offer to buy any Shares, a copy of the Prospectus.
C.    Dealer will not deliver to any offeree any written documents pertaining to the Company or the Shares, other than the Prospectus and any other materials specifically designated for distribution to prospective investors that are supplied to Dealer by the Company or its affiliates. Without 

A-2

intending to limit the generality of the foregoing, Dealer shall not deliver to any prospective investor any material pertaining to the Company or any of its affiliates that has been furnished as “broker-dealer use only.”
D.    Dealer will make reasonable inquiry to determine whether a prospective investor is acquiring Shares for his own account or on behalf of other persons and not for the purpose of resale or other distribution thereof.
E.    Dealer will not give any information or make any representation or warranty in connection with the Offering, the Company or the Shares other than those contained in the Prospectus and any Authorized Sales Materials.
F.    Dealer will abide by, and will take reasonable precautions to ensure compliance by prospective investors from whom Dealer has solicited an offer to purchase, all provisions contained in the Prospectus regulating the terms and manner of the Offering.
G.    In its solicitation of offers for the Shares, Dealer will comply with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, as well as the published rules and regulations thereunder, and the rules and regulations of all state securities authorities, as applicable, to the best of its knowledge, after due inquiry and investigation and to the extent within its direct control.
H.    Dealer is (and will continue to be) a member in good standing with FINRA, will abide by the rules and regulations of FINRA, is in full compliance with all applicable requirements under the Exchange Act, and is registered as a broker-dealer in all of the jurisdictions in which Dealer solicits offers to purchase the Shares.
I.    Dealer will not take any action in conflict with, or omit to take any action the omission of which would cause Dealer to be in conflict with, the conditions and requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or applicable state securities or blue sky laws.
J.    Dealer will use reasonable efforts to ensure that all investors who are acquiring Shares have and will satisfy all conditions described in the Prospectus and the Subscription Agreement.
K.    Each of the representations and warranties made by each prospective investor to the Company under the Subscription Agreement, is, to the Dealer’s best knowledge, information, and belief, after due inquiry, true and correct as of the date thereof and as of the date of purchase of the Shares by such investor.
		
	V.
	Dealers’ Commissions.

Except for volume discounts described in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus, which volume discounts shall be the responsibility of the Dealer to provide to investors who qualify, and except as otherwise provided in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus, the Dealer’s selling commission applicable to the Shares sold by Dealer in the primary offering which it is authorized to sell hereunder is 3.0% of the gross proceeds of the Shares sold by it in the primary offering and accepted and confirmed by the Company, which commissions will be payable by the Dealer Manager. In addition, as compensation for continuing to service stockholders in accordance with Dealer’s internal policies and 

A-3

procedures, the Dealer will be paid a quarterly stockholder servicing fee in the aggregate amount of up to 4.0% of the gross proceeds of the Shares sold by it in the primary offering and accepted and confirmed by the Company, which stockholder servicing fee will accrue daily in an amount equal to 1/365th of 1.0% of the purchase price per Share (or, once reported by the Company, the amount of the Company’s estimated net asset value per share) of Shares sold, excluding Shares sold pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan. The Company will cease paying the stockholder servicing fee with respect to Shares sold in the Offering at the earliest of (i) the date at which the aggregate underwriting compensation from all sources equals 10.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of Shares in the primary portion of the Offering (i.e., excluding proceeds from sales pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan); (ii) the fourth anniversary of the last day of the fiscal quarter in which the Offering (excluding the distribution reinvestment plan offering) terminates; (iii) the date that such Share is redeemed or is no longer outstanding; and (iv) the occurrence of a merger of the Company, listing of the Shares on a national securities exchange, or an extraordinary transaction by the Company. The stockholder servicing fee relates to the share or shares sold. The Dealer Manager may, in its discretion, re-allow to Dealers up to 100% of the stockholder servicing fee for services that such Dealers perform in connection with the Shares; provided, however, that the Dealer Manager will not re-allow the stockholder servicing fee to any Dealer if such Dealer has not executed a Participating Dealer Agreement with the Dealer Manager or if such Dealer’s previously executed Participating Dealer Agreement with the Dealer Manager is terminated pursuant to the provisions of Article XVI of this Participating Dealer Agreement; and provided further, that with respect to any individual investment, the Dealer Manager will not re-allow the related stockholder servicing fee to a Dealer if such Dealer ceases to hold the account related to such investment. No selling commissions shall be paid with respect to Shares issued and sold pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan. For these purposes, Shares shall be deemed to be “sold” if and only if a transaction has closed with a subscriber for Shares pursuant to all applicable offering and subscription documents, the Company has accepted the subscription agreement of such subscriber, and such Shares have been fully paid for. The Dealer affirms that the Dealer Manager’s liability for commissions payable is limited solely to the proceeds of commissions receivable from the Company, and the Dealer hereby waives any and all rights to receive payment of commissions due until such time as the Dealer Manager is in receipt of the commission from the Company. In addition, as set forth in the Prospectus, the Dealer Manager may, in its sole discretion, re-allow all or a portion of its dealer manager fee to Dealers participating in the offering of Shares as marketing fees, reimbursement of costs and expenses of attending educational conferences or to defray other distribution-related expenses.
The parties hereby agree that the foregoing commission is not in excess of the usual and customary distributors’ or sellers’ commission received in the sale of securities similar to the Shares, that Dealer’s interest in the offering is limited to such commission from the Dealer Manager and Dealer’s indemnity referred to in Section 4 of the Dealer Manager Agreement, and that the Company is not liable or responsible for the direct payment of such commission to the Dealer. The Dealer Manager shall have the right to require the Dealer to provide a detailed and itemized invoice as a condition to the reimbursement of any such due diligence expenses.
The provisions of this Article V as they pertain to the stockholder servicing fee, if applicable, shall survive termination of the Dealer Manager Agreement only if such termination of the Dealer Manager Agreement is the result of a termination of the Offering.

A-4

		
	VI.
	Applicability of Indemnification.

Each of the Dealer and Dealer Manager hereby acknowledges and agrees that it will be subject to the obligations set forth in, and entitled to the benefits of all the provisions of, the Dealer Manager Agreement, including but not limited to, the representations and warranties and the indemnification obligations contained in such Dealer Manager Agreement, including specifically the provisions of Article IV of the Dealer Manager Agreement. Such indemnification obligations shall survive the termination of this Participating Dealer Agreement and the Dealer Manager Agreement.
		
	VII.
	Payment.

Payments of sales commissions will be made by the Dealer Manager (or by the Company as provided in the Dealer Manager Agreement) to Dealer within 30 days of the receipt by the Dealer Manager of the gross commission payments from the Company.
		
	VIII.
	Right to Reject Orders or Cancel Sales.

All orders, whether initial or additional, are subject to acceptance by and shall only become effective upon confirmation by the Company, which reserves the right to reject any order. Orders not accompanied by a Subscription Agreement Signature Page and the required instrument of payment in payment for the Shares may be rejected. Issuance of the Shares will be made only after actual receipt of payment. If any check is not paid upon presentment, or if the Company is not in actual receipt of clearinghouse funds or cash, certified or cashier’s check or the equivalent in payment for the Shares within 15 days of sale, the Company reserves the right to cancel the sale without notice. In the event an order is rejected, canceled or rescinded for any reason, Dealer agrees to return to the Dealer Manager any commission theretofore paid with respect to such order within 30 days thereafter and, failing to do so, the Dealer Manager shall have the right to offset amounts owed against future commissions due and otherwise payable to Dealer.
		
	IX.
	Prospectus and Authorized Sales Materials.

Dealer is not authorized or permitted to give, and will not give, any information or make any representation (written or oral) concerning the Shares, except as set forth in the Prospectus and any Authorized Sales Materials. The Dealer Manager will supply Dealer with reasonable quantities of the Prospectus, any supplements thereto and any amended Prospectus, as well as any Authorized Sales Materials, for delivery to investors, and Dealer will deliver a copy of the Prospectus and all supplements thereto and any amended Prospectus to each investor to whom an offer is made prior to or simultaneously with the first solicitation of an offer to sell the Shares to an investor. Dealer agrees that it will not send or give any Authorized Sales Materials to an investor unless it has previously sent or given a Prospectus to that investor or has simultaneously sent or given a Prospectus with such Authorized Sales Materials. Dealer agrees that it will not show or give to any investor or prospective investor or reproduce any material or writing which is supplied to it by the Dealer Manager and marked “broker-dealer use only” or otherwise bearing a legend denoting that it is not to be used in connection with the sale of Shares to members of the public. Dealer agrees that it will not use in connection with the offer or sale of Shares any material or writing supplied to it by the Company or the Dealer Manager bearing a legend which states that such material may not be used in connection with the offer or sale of the Shares or any other securities. Dealer further agrees 

A-5

that it will not use in connection with the offer or sale of Shares any materials or writings which have not been previously authorized or approved by the Dealer Manager. Dealer agrees to furnish a copy of any revised preliminary Prospectus to each person to whom it has furnished a copy of any previous preliminary Prospectus, and further agrees that it will itself mail or otherwise deliver all preliminary and final Prospectuses required for compliance with the provisions of Rule 15c2-8 under the Exchange Act. Regardless of the termination of this Participating Dealer Agreement, Dealer will deliver a Prospectus in transactions in the Shares for a period of 90 days from the effective date of the Registration Statement or such longer period as may be required by the Exchange Act. On becoming a Dealer, and in offering and selling Shares, Dealer agrees to comply with all the applicable requirements under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.
		
	X.
	License and Association Membership.

Dealer’s acceptance of this Participating Dealer Agreement constitutes a representation to the Company and the Dealer Manager that Dealer is a properly registered broker-dealer under the Exchange Act, is duly licensed as a broker-dealer and authorized to sell Shares under Federal and state securities laws and regulations and in all states where it offers or sells Shares, and that it is a member in good standing of FINRA. Dealer agrees to notify the Dealer Manager immediately in writing and this Participating Dealer Agreement shall automatically terminate if Dealer ceases to be a member in good standing of FINRA, is subject to a FINRA suspension, or its registration as a broker-dealer under the Exchange Act is terminated or suspended. Dealer hereby agrees to abide by all applicable NASD Conduct Rules under FINRA and other applicable FINRA Rules, specifically including, but not limited to, FINRA Rule 2310.
Dealer Manager represents and warrants that it is currently, and at all times while performing its functions under this Participating Dealer Agreement will be, a properly registered broker-dealer under the Exchange Act and under state securities laws to the extent necessary to perform the duties described in this Participating Dealer Agreement, and that it is a member in good standing of FINRA. The Dealer Manager agrees to notify Dealer immediately in writing if it ceases to be a member in good standing with FINRA, is subject to a FINRA suspension, or its registration as a broker-dealer under the Exchange Act is terminated or suspended. The Dealer Manager hereby agrees to abide by all applicable NASD Conduct Rules under FINRA and other applicable FINRA Rules, specifically including, but not limited to, FINRA Rule 2310.
		
	XI.
	Anti-Money Laundering Compliance Programs.

Dealer’s acceptance of this Participating Dealer Agreement constitutes a representation to the Company and the Dealer Manager that Dealer has established and implemented an anti-money laundering compliance program (“AML Program”) in accordance with applicable law, including applicable NASD Conduct Rules under FINRA and other applicable FINRA Rules, SEC Rules and Section 352 of the Money Laundering Abatement Act, reasonably expected to detect and cause the reporting of suspicious transactions in connection with the sale of Shares of the Company. Dealer hereby agrees to furnish, upon request, a copy of its AML Program to the Dealer Manager for review and to promptly notify the Dealer Manager of any material changes to its AML Program.

A-6

		
	XII.
	Limitation of Offer and Suitability.

Dealer will offer Shares only to persons who meet the suitability standards set forth in the Prospectus or in any suitability letter or memorandum sent to it by the Company or the Dealer Manager and will only make offers to persons in the states in which it is advised in writing that the Shares are qualified for sale or that such qualification is not required.
In offering Shares, Dealer will comply with the provisions of the applicable NASD Conduct Rules under FINRA and other applicable FINRA Rules, as well as all other applicable rules and regulations relating to suitability of investors, including without limitation, the provisions of Article III.C. of the Statement of Policy Regarding Real Estate Investment Trusts of the North American Securities Administrators Association. Nothing contained in this Participating Dealer Agreement shall be construed to impose upon the Company or the Dealer Manager the responsibility of assuring that prospective investors meet the suitability standards set forth in the Prospectus, or to relieve Dealer from the responsibility of assuring that prospective investors meet the suitability standards in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Prospectus.
Dealer further represents, warrants and covenants that no Dealer, or person associated with Dealer, shall offer or sell Shares in any jurisdiction except to investors who satisfy the investor suitability standards and minimum investment requirements under the most restrictive of the following: (1) applicable provisions of the Prospectus; (2) the laws of the jurisdiction of which such investor is a resident; or (3) NASD Conduct Rules under FINRA and other applicable FINRA Rules including FINRA Rule 2310. Dealer agrees to ensure that, in recommending the purchase, sale or exchange of Shares to an investor, each Dealer, or person associated with Dealer, shall have reasonable grounds (as required by FINRA Rule 2310(b)(2)(B)(i)) to believe, on the basis of information obtained from the investor (and thereafter maintained in the manner and for the period provided in such Rules) concerning his or her age, investment objectives, other investments, financial situation and needs, and any other information known to Dealer, or person associated with Dealer, that: (A) the investor is or will be in a financial position appropriate to enable him or her to realize to a significant extent the benefits described in the Prospectus, including the tax benefits to the extent they are a significant aspect of the Company; (B) the investor has a fair market net worth sufficient to sustain the risks inherent in an investment in Shares in the amount proposed, including loss, and lack of liquidity of such investment; (C) that the investor has an apparent understanding of the fundamental risks of an investment in Shares, the lack of liquidity of the Shares, the background and qualifications of the sponsor, the advisor to the Company and their affiliates, and the tax consequences of an investment in the Shares; and (D) an investment in Shares is otherwise suitable for such investor. Dealer further represents, warrants and covenants that Dealer, or a person associated with Dealer, will make every reasonable effort to determine the suitability and appropriateness of an investment in Shares of each proposed investor by reviewing documents and records disclosing the basis upon which the determination as to suitability was reached as to each purchaser of Shares pursuant to a subscription solicited by Dealer, whether such documents and records relate to accounts which have been closed, accounts which are currently maintained, or accounts hereafter established. Dealer agrees to retain such documents and records in Dealer’s records for a period of six years from the date of the applicable sale of Shares and to make such documents and records available to (i) the Dealer Manager and the Company upon request, and (ii) to representatives of the SEC, FINRA and applicable state securities administrators upon your firm’s receipt of an appropriate 

A-7

document subpoena or other appropriate request for documents from any such agency. Dealer shall not purchase any Shares for a discretionary account without obtaining the prior written approval of Dealer’s customer and his or her signature on a Subscription Agreement.
		
	XIII.
	Due Diligence and Adequate Disclosure.

Prior to offering the Shares for sale, Dealer shall have conducted an inquiry such that Dealer has reasonable grounds to believe, based on information made available to Dealer by the Company or the Dealer Manager through the Prospectus or other materials, that all material facts are adequately and accurately disclosed and provide a basis for evaluating a purchase of Shares. In determining the adequacy of disclosed facts pursuant to the foregoing, each Dealer may obtain, upon request, information on material facts relating at a minimum to the following: (1) items of compensation; (2) physical properties; (3) tax aspects; (4) financial stability and experience of the Company and its advisor; (5) conflicts and risk factors; and (6) appraisals and other pertinent reports. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Dealer may rely upon the results of an inquiry conducted by an independent third party retained for that purpose or another Dealer, provided that: (1) such Dealer has reasonable grounds to believe that such inquiry was conducted with due care by said independent third party or such other Dealer; (2) the results of the inquiry were provided to Dealer with the consent of the other Dealer conducting or directing the inquiry; and (3) no Dealer that participated in the inquiry is an affiliate of the Company.
Prior to the sale of the Shares, each Dealer shall inform each prospective purchaser of Shares of pertinent facts relating to the Shares including specifically the lack of liquidity and lack of marketability of the Shares during the term of the investment.
		
	XIV.
	Compliance with Record Keeping Requirements.

Dealer agrees to comply with the record keeping requirements of the Exchange Act, including but not limited to, Rules 17a-3 and 17a-4 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Dealer further agrees to keep such records with respect to each customer who purchases Shares, his or her suitability and the amount of Shares sold and to retain such records for such period of time as may be required by the SEC, any state securities commission, FINRA or the Company.
		
	XV.
	Customer Complaints.

Each party hereby agrees to promptly provide to the other party copies of any written or otherwise documented complaints from customers of Dealer received by such party relating in any way to the Offering (including, but not limited to, the manner in which the Shares are offered by the Dealer Manager or Dealer), the Shares or the Company.
		
	XVI.
	Effectiveness, Termination and Amendments.

This Participating Dealer Agreement shall become effective upon the execution hereof by Dealer and receipt of such executed Participating Dealer Agreement by the Dealer Manager; provided, however, that in the event of the execution of this Participating Dealer Agreement prior to the time that the Registration Statement, as defined in the Dealer Manager Agreement, becomes effective with the SEC, this Participating Dealer Agreement shall not become effective prior to the Registration Statement becoming effective with 

A-8

the SEC and shall instead become effective simultaneously with the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.
Dealer will immediately suspend or terminate its offer and sale of Shares upon the request of the Company or the Dealer Manager at any time and will resume its offer and sale of Shares hereunder upon subsequent request of the Company or the Dealer Manager. Any party may terminate this Participating Dealer Agreement by written notice. Such termination shall be effective 48 hours after the mailing of such notice. This Participating Dealer Agreement and the exhibits hereto are the entire agreement of the parties and supersedes all prior agreements, if any, between the parties hereto.
This Participating Dealer Agreement may be amended at any time by the Dealer Manager by written notice to the Dealer, and any such amendment shall be deemed accepted and agreed to by Dealer upon placing an order for sale of Shares after he has received such notice.
		
	XVII.
	Privacy Laws.

The Dealer Manager and Dealer (each referred to individually in this section as “party”) agree as follows:
A.    Each party agrees to abide by and comply with (1) the privacy standards and requirements of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (“GLB Act”), (2) the privacy standards and requirements of any other applicable Federal or state law, and (3) its own internal privacy policies and procedures, each as may be amended from time to time;
B.    Dealer agrees to provide privacy policy notices required under the GLB Act resulting from purchases of Shares made by its customers pursuant to this Participating Dealer Agreement;
C.    Each party agrees to refrain from the use or disclosure of nonpublic personal information (as defined under the GLB Act) of all customers who have opted out of such disclosures except as necessary to service the customers or as otherwise necessary or required by applicable law; and
D.    Each party shall be responsible for determining which customers have opted out of the disclosure of nonpublic personal information by periodically reviewing and, if necessary, retrieving a list of such customers (the “List”) to identify customers that have exercised their opt-out rights. In the event either party uses or discloses nonpublic personal information of any customer for purposes other than servicing the customer, or as otherwise required by applicable law, that party will consult the List to determine whether the affected customer has exercised his or her opt-out rights. Each party understands that each is prohibited from using or disclosing any nonpublic personal information of any customer that is identified on the List as having opted out of such disclosures.
