(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, this Agreement does not constitute an agreement to contribute, convey, transfer, assign and deliver any interest in any Contributed Asset, or any claim, right, benefit or obligation arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if a contribution, conveyance, transfer, assignment or delivery, or an attempt to make such a contribution, conveyance, transfer, assignment or delivery, without the Consent of a Third Party would (i) constitute a breach or other contravention of the rights of such Third Party, (ii) be ineffective with respect to any party to a Contract concerning such Contributed Asset, (iii) upon transfer, in any way adversely affect the rights of NewCo under such Contributed Asset, as applicable, or (iv) conflict with or violate any applicable Law. If the contribution, conveyance, transfer, assumption, assignment or delivery of the Contributed Assets or of the NewCo Interests, or of any Liability under the same, requires the Consent of a Third Party, then such contribution, conveyance, transfer, assumption, assignment or delivery shall be subject to such Consent being obtained. Without limiting Section 2.2(b), if any Contributed Asset may not be assigned to HoldCo or NewCo or the NewCo Interests may not be assigned to GAHR III OP, respectively, by reason of the absence of any such Consent, NewCo shall not be required to assume any Assumed Liability arising under such Contributed Asset, as applicable.

(b) If any Consent in respect of a Contributed Asset has not been obtained on or before the Sponsor to HoldCo Pre-Closing Contributions or the HoldCo to NewCo Pre-Closing Contributions, as applicable, each Sponsor and its Affiliates shall continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such Consent as promptly as practicable after the Sponsor to HoldCo Pre-Closing Contributions or the HoldCo to NewCo Pre-Closing Contributions, as applicable, until such time as such Consent has been obtained, and to cooperate in any lawful and reasonable arrangement following the Closing, which arrangement shall provide NewCo and GAHR III the benefits and burdens of any such Contributed Asset, including subcontracting, licensing or sublicensing to NewCo and/or GAHR III any or all of such Sponsor’s or its Affiliates’ rights with respect to such Contributed Asset and including the enforcement for the benefit of NewCo and GAHR III of any and all rights of such Sponsor or its Affiliates, as applicable, against a Third Party thereunder. Once a Consent for the contribution, conveyance, transfer, assumption, assignment and delivery of a Contributed Asset is obtained, each of the Sponsors shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, as applicable, promptly assign, transfer, convey and deliver such Contributed Asset to NewCo, as applicable, and NewCo shall assume the obligations under such Contributed Asset assigned to it from and after the date of assignment to NewCo. If and when such Consents are obtained or such other required actions have been taken, the transfer of such Contributed Asset shall be effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Nothing in this Section 2.2 shall be deemed a waiver by NewCo, GAHR III or GAHR III OP of their rights under this Agreement, nor shall this Section 2.2 be deemed to constitute an agreement to exclude from the Contributed Assets any of the Assets described under Section 2.1(b).

SECTION 3. CLOSING CONTRIBUTION

3.1 Contribution of NewCo. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, at the Closing, each Sponsor shall cause its respective Sponsor Contributor Entities to cause HoldCo to contribute, convey, transfer, assign and deliver to GAHR III OP, free and clear of any Encumbrances (other than Permitted Encumbrances and Encumbrances imposed under applicable federal and state securities Laws), and GAHR III OP shall acquire from HoldCo, all of HoldCo’s right, title and interest in and to the NewCo Interests, which constitute all of the issued and outstanding membership interests in NewCo. The transactions contemplated by the foregoing sentence are referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Contribution”. In consideration of the Closing Contribution, GAHR III shall cause GAHR III OP to pay to HoldCo the Closing Date Consideration (and together with the Earnout Consideration, the “Total Consideration”).

3.2 Estimated Closing Statement and Post-Closing Adjustment.

(a) No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, the Sponsors shall prepare and deliver to GAHR III OP a statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) setting forth the Sponsors’ good faith estimated calculation as of the Calculation Time of (A) the Working Capital (“Estimated Closing Date Working Capital”), (B) Closing Date Cash (“Estimated Closing Date Cash”), (C) the Closing Date Unpaid Indebtedness (“Estimated Closing Date Unpaid Indebtedness”), (D) the Closing Date Unpaid Transaction Expenses (“Estimated Closing Date Unpaid Transaction Expenses”), and (E) the Working Capital Adjustment Amount, and (F) the Closing Date Value (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include the Working Capital Adjustment Amount), which Estimated Closing Statement shall include a reasonably detailed summary of the calculations made to arrive at such amounts.

(b) On or prior to the day that is one hundred and twenty (120) days after the Closing, GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger) shall prepare and deliver to the Sponsors a certificate (the “Post-Closing Statement”) providing (i) unaudited consolidated balance sheets of NewCo and its Subsidiaries as of the Calculation Time, prepared in accordance with GAAP and without giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Actual Closing Balance Sheets”), (ii) GAHR III’s calculation, based on the Actual Closing Balance Sheets and in accordance with GAAP, of each of the following as of the Calculation Time: (1) Working Capital (“Actual Closing Date Working Capital”), (2) Closing Date Cash (“Actual Closing Date Cash”), (3) any Closing Date Unpaid Indebtedness (“Actual Closing Date Unpaid Indebtedness”) and (4) any Closing Date Unpaid Transaction Expenses (“Actual Closing Date Unpaid Transaction Expenses”), and (iii) the re-calculation of the Closing Date Value and the components thereof (using Actual Closing Date Working Capital, Actual Closing Date Cash, Actual Closing Date Unpaid Indebtedness and Actual Closing Date Unpaid Transaction Expenses in lieu of the estimates therefor set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement). Each Sponsor shall cooperate in the preparation of the Post-Closing Statement, as reasonably requested by GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger).

(c) On or prior to the day that is thirty (30) days following GAHR III’s (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger) delivery of the Post-Closing Statement, the Sponsor Representative may deliver a written notice to GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger) (an “Objection Notice”) stating in reasonable detail the Sponsors’ objections to and alternative calculations of Actual Closing Date Working Capital, Actual Closing Date Cash, Actual Closing Date Unpaid Indebtedness and Actual Closing Date Unpaid Transaction Expenses. If the Sponsor Representative does not deliver an Objection Notice within such thirty (30) day period, the Post-Closing Statement as issued by GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger), including any amounts, determinations and calculations contained therein, shall be conclusive and binding upon GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger) and the Sponsors, and shall constitute the final determination of Actual Closing Date Working Capital, Actual Closing Date Cash, Actual Closing Date Unpaid Indebtedness and Actual Closing Unpaid Date Transaction Expenses. Any amount, determination or calculation contained in a timely-delivered Post-Closing Statement and not specifically disputed in a timely delivered Objection Notice shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive upon GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger) and the Sponsors.

(d) If an Objection Notice is timely delivered by the Sponsor Representative, GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger) and the Sponsor Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve each dispute raised therein (each, an “Objection”, and any Objections actually resolved by mutual agreement of GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger) and the Sponsor Representative, the “Agreed Adjustments”) for a period of thirty (30) days following GAHR III’s (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger) receipt of such Objection Notice. In the event that GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger) and the Sponsor Representative fail to agree on any of the Sponsor Representative’s proposed adjustments set forth in the Objection Notice within such thirty (30) day period notwithstanding such good faith negotiation, GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger) and the Sponsor Representative (on behalf of the Sponsors) shall jointly engage an Accounting Firm to render a decision as to any Objections still in dispute (acting as an expert and not an arbitrator) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as soon as practicable (but in any event within thirty (30) days after the engagement of the Accounting Firm). GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger) and the Sponsor Representative shall provide the Accounting Firm with their respective determinations of Actual Closing Date Working Capital, Actual Closing Date Cash, Actual Closing Date Unpaid Indebtedness and Actual Closing Date Unpaid Transaction Expenses, as well as all supporting documentation reasonably required by the Accounting Firm. The Accounting Firm shall render its written decision as to each Objection specifically disputed in a timely delivered Objection Notice (which did not subsequently become an Agreed Adjustment), including a statement in reasonable detail of the basis for its decision. In rendering its decision as to any such Objections still in dispute, the Accounting Firm shall only address the Objections specifically disputed in a timely delivered Objection Notice (which did not subsequently become an Agreed Adjustment), and the Accounting Firm may not assign a value greater than the greatest value for any such item assigned by GAHR III, on the one hand,

or the Sponsor Representative, on the other hand, or less than the lowest value for any such item assigned by GAHR III, on the one hand, or the Sponsor Representative, on the other hand. All Objections that are resolved between GAHR III and the Sponsor Representative or are determined by the Accounting Firm shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties and each of their Affiliates, successors and assigns, absent manifest error. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be paid by the Sponsor Representative (on behalf of the Sponsors), on the one hand, and by GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger), on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the amount contested but not awarded to it bears to the aggregate amount contested by it.

(e) The Post-Closing Statement (including the calculation of the Final Adjustment Amount) shall be deemed final for the purposes of this Section 3.2 upon the earlier of (i) the failure of the Sponsor Representative to issue an Objection Notice to GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger) within thirty (30) days of the Sponsor Representative’s receipt thereof, (ii) the resolution of all Objections pursuant to Section 3.2(d) by GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger) and the Sponsor Representative (i.e., as Agreed Adjustments) and (iii) the resolution of all Objections still in dispute pursuant to Section 3.2(d) by the Accounting Firm (which, absent manifest error, shall constitute an arbitral award that is final, binding and non-appealable and upon which a judgment may be entered by a court having jurisdiction thereover). Following the final determination of the Actual Closing Date Working Capital, Actual Closing Date Cash, Actual Closing Date Unpaid Indebtedness and Actual Closing Date Unpaid Transaction Expenses, the Closing Date Value and the components thereof shall be re-calculated (using Actual Closing Date Working Capital, Actual Closing Date Cash, Actual Closing Date Unpaid Indebtedness and Actual Closing Date Unpaid Transaction Expenses, as finally determined, in lieu of the estimates therefor set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement). The amount by which the Closing Date Value as so re-calculated varies from the Closing Date Value paid at Closing is the “Final Adjustment Amount”, and the Closing Date Value as so re-calculated is the “Final Closing Date Value”.

(f) Upon the final determination of the Final Adjustment Amount:

(i) If the Final Closing Date Value exceeds the Closing Date Value at the Closing, then GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger) shall pay an amount in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds equal to such excess to HoldCo within five (5) Business Days after the date on which the Final Adjustment Amount is finally determined. .

(ii) If the Final Closing Date Value is less than the Closing Date Value at the Closing, then the Sponsors, jointly and severally, shall pay, or cause to be paid, an amount in cash equal to such deficiency to GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger) by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five (5) Business Days after the date on which the Final Adjustment Amount is finally determined.

3.3 Closing Date Payment. At the Closing, GAHR III OP shall issue a number of OP Partnership Units to HoldCo equal to the Closing Date Consideration, as follows: (a) 25% of such OP Partnership Units shall be designated as “Series A”; (b) 25% of such OP Partnership Units shall be designated as “Series B”; and (c) 50% of such OP Partnership Units shall be “unclassified” OP Partnership Units.

3.4 Earnout.

(a) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 3.4, the following definitions shall apply:

(i) “Acquisition and Disposition Fee Shortfall” means an amount, calculated annually and aggregated over the Earnout Period, equal to (A) $6.75 million per annum (including as prorated for any partial year during the Earnout Period), minus (B) the sum of (x) 2.25% multiplied by the gross purchase price of all acquisitions completed by GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger), its Subsidiaries, joint ventures (but only if GAHR III or its Subsidiaries manage such joint venture) and managed vehicles (excluding the Sponsored Investment Fund), during the Earnout Period and (y) 2.00% multiplied by the gross sales price of all dispositions completed by GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger), its Subsidiaries and managed vehicles (excluding the Sponsored Investment Fund) during the Earnout Period, with such acquisition and disposition fees to be calculated consistent with the Advisory Agreements as in effect immediately prior to the execution of this Agreement, including the provisions therein that no disposition fee shall be payable to GAHR III Advisor or GAHR IV Advisor (or their Affiliates) for property sales if such sales involve GAHR III or GAHR IV selling all or substantially all of their properties in one or more transactions designed to effectuate a business-combination transaction. The Acquisition and Disposition Fee Shortfall shall not be less than zero.

(v) “Fund Carried Interest” means the sum of any and all promote, incentive fees or carried interest imposed by the Sponsored Investment Fund’s investment manager or general partner on the Sponsored Investment Fund or its limited partners.

The term “Fund Management Fees” shall not include any property-management-oversight fees collected by the Sponsored Investment Fund’s general partner or investment manager from the Sponsored Investment Fund.

(viii) “Fund Placement Fees” means the sum of any and all placement agent fees (or similar consulting fees) owed by the Sponsored Investment Fund or its investment manager after the Closing in respect of the Sponsored Investment Fund’s fundraising activities, including, without limitation, those owed to TriGlobal Strategic Ventures, LLC.

(xiv) “Unreturned GAHR III Capital Contributions” means GAHR III Capital Contributions less any distributions received by GAHR III or its Subsidiaries (and any successor-in-interest, including GAHR IV and its Subsidiaries) after the Closing from the Sponsored Investment Fund in respect of the GAHR III Capital Contributions.

(b) Aggregate Contingent Payment. Subject to Sections 3.4(c), 3.4(d), 3.4(h), 3.4(i) and 11.7 and the following proviso, at the end of the Earnout Period, GAHR III shall pay to AHI an amount in cash equal to (i) 35.0% multiplied by the sum of (A) the Fund Management Fees, plus (B) the Fund Carried Interest, minus (C) Fund Costs, minus (D) the Acquisition and Disposition Fee Shortfall (the amount to be paid under this Section 3.4(b), including any advances thereon in the form of Current Fee Participation Payments, the “Earnout Consideration”); provided, however, that at such time as both of the conditions in clauses (x) and (y) of the definition of Current Fee Participation Amount have occurred, then AHI shall thereupon receive an advance (in cash) against any Earnout Consideration in an amount equal to the then calculated Current Fee Participation Amount, which amount GAHR III shall pay quarterly through the end of the Earnout Period for so long as such conditions remain satisfied (which advanced Current Fee Participation Amount will reduce any Earnout Consideration payable at the end of the Earnout Period); provided further, however, that if the finally determined Earnout Consideration (if any) is less (including as a result of any failure to vest or cessation of vesting as set forth in Section 3.4(c)) than the Current Fee Participation Amounts (if any) previously paid by GAHR III to AHI, then AHI shall (and shall cause any of its distributees of any Current Fee Participation Amounts to) refund in cash the amount of such excess to GAHR III (the “Earnout Clawback”). Each of the AHI Principals and Flaherty Trust acknowledge and agree to guarantee the performance by AHI of AHI’s obligations in the previous sentence; provided that none of the AHI Principals or Flaherty Trust shall be required to pay any amount for the Earnout Clawback that exceeds the value of (x) its Applicable Earnout Percentage multiplied by (y) the amount of the Earnout Clawback that AHI has failed to so refund; and provided further that in no event shall any of the AHI Principals or Flaherty Trust be liable for an amount in excess of the aggregate Current Fee Participation Amounts actually distributed to it.

(c) Vesting Requirements; Cessation of Vesting. Notwithstanding Section 3.4(b), the right of AHI to receive the Earnout Consideration shall only vest (i.e., AHI shall only then have a vested right in it, but subject to cessation of vesting as set forth in this Section 3.4(c)) as follows: (i) one-third of the Earnout Consideration shall vest on the first limited-partner capital call date of the Sponsored Investment Fund (the “First Minimum Funding Date”), (ii) one-third of the Earnout Consideration shall vest on the date that is 18 months after the First Minimum Funding Date, and (iii) one-third shall vest on the date that is three years after the First Minimum Funding Date; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the vesting requirements of this Section 3.4(c) shall not be deemed satisfied (at all or in part) until the Sponsored Investment Fund has received at least $100,000,000 in funded limited-partner commitments, and provided further, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, all vesting pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall immediately cease (and all of AHI’s interest in any unvested portion of the Earnout Consideration shall be thereupon forfeited) in the event that any two or more AHI Principals cease to be employed by GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger) (except that (x) a termination of their employment without Cause by GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger), (y) their resignation for Good Reason from GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger) and (z) their termination of employment as a result of their death or permanent Disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) shall not constitute a cessation of employment under this Section 3.4(c)).

(d) Fair Market Value. In the event the Earnout Period ends pursuant to clause (B) of its definition, then the Earnout Consideration shall be calculated using the then fair market value of the Sponsored Investment Fund, considering for such purpose as if all the assets of the Sponsored Investment Fund had been sold at their then fair market value and as if all components within the calculation of the Earnout Consideration were also calculated using that fair market value (as applicable) and less any other Fund Costs reasonably determined by GAHR III at that time. For purposes of this Section 3.4, fair market value of the Sponsored Investment Fund’s assets shall be as reasonably agreed between GAHR III and AHI. In the event such parties are unable to reach an agreement thereon, they shall jointly engage an independent, national real estate valuation firm, which shall be directed to determine the fair market value of the Sponsored Investment Fund’s assets in their totality, taking into account any premium ascribed to asset portfolios of similar size and quality as determined by such valuation firm, which fair market value shall then by used by GAHR III and AHI for purposes of calculating the Earnout Consideration.

(e) Contingent Consideration Statements. Promptly following (but within 60 days after) the end of the Earnout Period, GAHR III will, under the direction of its then independent and disinterested members of the GAHR III Board (the “Independent Directors”), prepare a statement setting forth the calculation of the Earnout Consideration for AHI’s review, together with supporting detail from which that statement has been prepared (the “Earnout Consideration Statement”).

(f) Access to Information. GAHR III shall cooperate with AHI in good faith to assist AHI in its review of the Earnout Consideration Statement and shall make appropriate information and personnel of GAHR III reasonably available to AHI, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to make appropriate personnel and advisors of GAHR III available to AHI, to discuss and answer questions with respect to the Earnout Consideration Statement. During the period within 30 Business Days of receipt of such Earnout Consideration Statement by AHI (the “Dispute Period”), AHI may dispute all or a portion of the relevant Earnout Consideration Statement by giving a notice of disagreement (a “Notice of Disagreement”) relating to such Earnout Consideration Statement to GAHR III setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for any such disagreement relating to such Earnout Consideration Statement. The parties shall promptly commence good faith negotiations with a view to resolving all such disagreements. If AHI does not provide a Notice of Disagreement relating to an Earnout Consideration Statement to GAHR III within the Dispute Period, then AHI shall be deemed to have irrevocably accepted such Earnout Consideration Statement in the form delivered to it by GAHR III. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.4(f) to the contrary, at AHI’s election, AHI may provide a written notice to GAHR III at any time during the Dispute Period that it has accepted such Earnout Consideration Statement delivered to it by GAHR III, and such acceptance shall be deemed a “final determination” for purposes of this Section 3.4.

(g) Disagreements. Other than as set forth in Section 3.4(d), if AHI delivers a Notice of Disagreement pursuant to Section 3.4(f) and AHI and GAHR III are unable to resolve all disagreements within 20 Business Days following the delivery of such Notice of Disagreement, such disagreement shall thereafter be referred to the Accounting Firm for a resolution of such disagreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. AHI and GAHR III shall each be party to the engagement letter entered into with the Accounting Firm. If any remaining issues in dispute are submitted to the Accounting Firm for resolution, each of AHI and GAHR III will be afforded an opportunity to present to the Accounting Firm any material relating to the determination of the matters in dispute and to discuss such matters with the Accounting Firm. The Accounting Firm shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator to calculate, based solely on the written submissions of GAHR III, on the one hand, and AHI, on the other, and not by independent investigation, the applicable Earnout Consideration Statement and shall be instructed that its calculation (A) must be made in accordance with the standards and definitions in this Agreement, and (B) with respect to each item in dispute, must be within the range of values established for such amount as determined by reference to the value assigned to such amount by GAHR III in the applicable Earnout Consideration Statement and AHI in the applicable Notice of Disagreement. AHI and GAHR III shall instruct the Accounting Firm that the determinations of such firm with respect to any disagreement shall be rendered within 30 Business Days after referral of the disagreement to such firm or as soon thereafter as reasonably possible. The Accounting Firm shall make a determination with respect to any unresolved disagreement only in a manner consistent with this Section 3.4, and in no event shall the Accounting Firm’s determination of the unresolved disagreements be for an amount that is outside the range of AHI’s and GAHR III’s proposals with respect to each individual disagreement. Such determinations shall be final and binding upon the parties, and the amount so determined shall be used to complete the applicable Earnout Consideration Statement. Each of AHI and GAHR III shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to render its determination within the 30 Business Day period described in this Section 3.4(g), and each shall cooperate with such firm and provide such firm with access to its books, records, personnel and Representatives and such other information as such firm may require in order to render its determination. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne by the party whose proposed Earnout Consideration Amount as reflected in such party’s submission to the Accounting Firm differs the most from the Earnout Consideration Amount (as applicable) finally determined by the Accounting Firm (or, if such differences of the parties are equal, equally by AHI and GAHR III).

(h) Timing of Payment. Promptly (but in no event more than 15 Business Days) after the Earnout Consideration Statement has become final in accordance with this Section 3.4, GAHR III shall transfer to AHI the Earnout Consideration; provided, however, that any Current Fee Participation Payments shall be deducted from the Earnout Consideration to be paid pursuant to this Section 3.4.

(i) Discretion in Management of Sponsored Investment Fund. GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger) (acting through its then Independent Directors only) and GAHR III OP shall be free to conduct their Investment Management Services (including their acquisition, disposition and other investment activities, and all decisions regarding employment of their personnel, fundraising and decisions to call capital commitments) in accordance with their good faith ordinary business judgment, with no express or implied obligation to AHI or any other Person to take any action, or omit to take any action, to seek to maximize the Earnout Consideration. This includes the right of GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger) and GAHR III OP to decline to accept an investment from any potential investor(s) in the

Sponsored Investment Fund as they see fit in their good faith ordinary business judgment, which decision to so decline shall be made by the Independent Directors only. Notwithstanding the foregoing, GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger) and GAHR III OP shall not (and shall use all reasonable best efforts to ensure that none of their Affiliates shall), during the Earnout Period, in bad faith manipulate charges, overhead allocations or revenue allocations, or take any other action in bad faith, in each case for the purpose of reducing the Earnout Consideration to be paid pursuant to this Section 3.4.

(j) Adjustment for Tax Purposes. Any payment under this Section 3.4 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Total Consideration for any Tax purposes, except as otherwise required by a final “determination” under Section 1313(a) of the Code.

(k) Tax Efficiency. If AHI later determines that it would be beneficial to it and/or the ultimate beneficiaries of the Earnout Consideration to structure the Earnout Consideration in a manner more Tax efficient for them, then GAHR III and GAHR III OP agree that they will reasonably cooperate with AHI in such structuring; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, GAHR III and GAHR III OP shall not be required to structure the Earnout Consideration in any manner that would, in their reasonable determination (which determination may be based, in whole or in part, on the advice of counsel to GAHR III, GAHR III OP or GAHR IV (or their successors)), (i) result in or cause an adverse or otherwise detrimental Tax result or effect for GAHR III, GAHR III OP or GAHR IV (or their successors) (including, without limitation, any increase in the risk of an audit of them or any of their Affiliates by any Tax Authority), (ii) result in or cause an adverse or otherwise detrimental economic result or effect for any of them (or their successors), or (iii) not be permitted under Law. Further, AHI agrees that it will (A) reimburse GAHR III, GAHR III OP and GAHR IV (and their successors) for all reasonable legal fees or other out-of-pocket costs incurred by them in connection with any such structuring and (B) indemnify and hold them and each other GAHR III Indemnified Person harmless with respect to any Tax-related Liability (including, without limitation, penalties, interest and a Tax “gross-up” payment) that any of them (or their direct or indirect owners) may incur as a result of any such structuring.

3.5 Withholding. GAHR III, GAHR III OP and their respective Subsidiaries shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable hereunder the amounts required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any applicable provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law, and the relevant withholding Person shall timely remit to the appropriate Authority any and all amounts so deducted or withheld and timely file all Tax Returns required to be filed under applicable Tax Law; provided, however, the relevant withholding Person shall provide the Sponsors with reasonable advance written notice of their intention to withhold and the reason for such withholding at least seven (7) Business Days prior to any such withholding. To the extent that amounts are so withheld or paid over to or deposited with the relevant Authority in accordance with the foregoing, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

3.6 Restrictive Legend. HoldCo acknowledges and agrees that the OP Partnership Units issuable under Section 3.3 hereof (including any securities of GAHR III issuable upon redemption of such OP Partnership Units under the Pre-Merger OP Operating Agreement or,

following the Merger, of GAHR IV issuable upon redemption of such OP Partnership Units under the Post-Merger OP Operating Agreement) are not covered by an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, and further are subject to transfer to, or cancelation by, GAHR III and GAHR III OP as set forth in Section 11.7 hereof. As such, HoldCo acknowledges and agrees that any certificate or book-entry security entitlement evidencing such OP Partnership Units and such GAHR III securities shall contain a legend in substantially the form set forth below:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR (B) AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR BLUE SKY LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS TRANSFER AGENT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, AND IN ALL SUCH CASES ARE FURTHER SUBJECT TO (X) TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS CONTAINED IN AN AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP OF AMERICAN HEALTHCARE REIT HOLDINGS, LP (AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME) AND (Y) TRANSFER TO, OR CANCELATION BY, GRIFFIN-AMERICAN HEALTHCARE REIT III, INC. (OR ITS SUCCESSORS) AS SET FORTH IN A CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT DATED JUNE 23, 2021 UNDER WHICH SUCH SECURITIES WERE INITIALLY ISSUED. AS SUCH, HOLDERS OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THEY MAY BE REQUIRED TO BEAR THE FINANCIAL RISKS OF THIS INVESTMENT FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD OF TIME AND MAY FURTHER BE FORCED TO FORFEIT OR SURRENDER THE SECURITIES IN CERTAIN INSTANCES.

Subject to the following sentence, the Proxy Statement (or any supplement or amendment thereto) will not at the time that it is filed with the SEC contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, GAHR III makes no representation or warranty with respect to any information supplied in writing by or on behalf of the Sponsors or their Affiliates that is contained in the Proxy Statement (or any supplement or amendment thereto).

A copy of such opinion has been made available to the Sponsors, solely for informational purposes, but upon which they may not rely.

7.8 Tax Status.

(a) REIT Qualification. For each taxable year commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2018, through its taxable year ended December 31, 2020, GAHR III has been organized and operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a real estate investment trust within the meaning of Code Section 856 and has satisfied all requirements to qualify as such a real estate investment trust for such years. GAHR III’s current organization and current and proposed method of operation are intended to enable it to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as such a real estate investment trust for its 2021 taxable year and all subsequent taxable years, and GAHR III has not taken any action (or omitted to take any action) that would cause GAHR III to fail to qualify as such a real estate investment trust for the taxable year ending December 31, 2021.

(b) Tax Status of GAHR III OP. GAHR III OP is, and has been at all times during its existence, classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and not as an association or publicly-traded partnership taxable as a corporation.

(b) Prior to the Closing Date, the Sponsors and NewCo shall take all necessary actions to cause all Business Employees to become employees of NewCo and to transfer all Contributed Benefit Plans to NewCo in a manner that allows for the seamless continuity of employment (with no restart of the wage base for employment tax purposes) and Contributed Benefit Plan coverage without disruption. AHI agrees to release all Business Employees from any agreements (including restrictive covenant agreements) that would in any way prohibit or restrict such Business Employee’s ability to work or perform activities for GAHR III, GAHR IV, GAHR III OP, NewCo and/or their respective Affiliates, subject to, and conditioned up, the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, confers upon any Business Employee any rights or remedies, including any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period.

For all purposes of the 401(k), health-and-welfare benefits and paid-time off policies maintained by GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger), NewCo or any of its Affiliates providing benefits to any Business Employee following the Closing Date (collectively, the “GAHR Plans”), including for vesting, eligibility to participate, vacation accrual and levels of benefits (but not benefit calculations or accruals under any defined benefit plan or frozen benefit plan or vesting under any equity incentive plan) under any GAHR Plan, GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger) will credit each Business Employee with his or her years of service with NewCo (including service with GAHR III Advisor and/or GAHR IV Advisor) before the Closing, to the same extent as such service was recognized before the Closing under any comparable Contributed Benefit Plan in which such Business Employee participated or was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Closing; provided that the foregoing will not apply to the extent that its application would result in any duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of service.

(c) AHI will terminate the American Healthcare Investors, LLC 2019 Employee Incentive Compensation Plan such that there is no further liability thereunder on or after the Closing.

(d) Each of the AHI Principals will enter into their respective Required Agreements at or prior to the Closing (to be effective at the Closing).

(e) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed as prohibiting or limiting the ability of GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger) or its Affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any compensation or benefit plans, programs, policies, arrangements, agreements or understandings of GAHR III (or GAHR IV following the REIT Merger) or terminate the employment of any Business Employee at any time.

(f) At or prior to the Closing, the GAHR III Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) shall approve the Retention Equity Pool, with the issuance of equity awards thereunder being determined in the sole discretion of the GAHR III Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) and granted within 30 days following the Closing. All such grants shall be assumed by any successor in interest of GAHR III.

(g) None of Business Employees are third-party beneficiaries of, or entitled to enforce, this Section 8.15.

8.16 Assumption of Obligations in the REIT Merger. If the REIT Merger is consummated, GAHR III will cause GAHR IV or its Subsidiaries to assume all of GAHR III’s and GAHR III OP’s obligations hereunder, including GAHR III’s obligations under Section 3.4 hereof.

8.17 Right to Nominate Directors. Until the earliest to occur of (a) the AHI Principals ceasing to hold at least fifty percent (50%) of the OP Partnership Units of GAHR III OP issued to them at the Closing (including for such purpose any OP Partnership Units held (i) in a trust or tax-planning vehicle for the exclusive benefit of any of the AHI Principals or any of their immediate family members, (ii) in a charitable foundation or other charitable vehicle managed or controlled by any AHI Principal, and (iii) by The Jeff & April Hanson Family Foundation, (b) any two or more AHI Principals ceasing to be employed by GAHR III or its Subsidiaries (or their respective successors in interest) as executive officers (provided that a termination of their employment without Cause or their resignation for Good Reason shall not constitute a cessation of employment under this Section 8.17), and (c) the listing of the common stock of GAHR III (or of GAHR IV following the REIT Merger) on a national securities exchange, each of the board of directors and nominating committee of the board of directors of GAHR III (or of GAHR IV following the REIT Merger) will nominate at least three individuals (who are selected by the AHI Principals but approved by the board of directors of GAHR III or GAHR IV, as applicable, with such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) to the board of directors of GAHR III or GAHR IV, as applicable.

8.18 Payment of Closing Date Unpaid Transaction Expenses and Closing Date Unpaid Indebtedness. Subject to any post-Closing adjustments as provided for in Section 3.2 hereof, prior to or at the Closing, the Sponsors shall pay, including if necessary from the Closing Date Cash, all Closing Date Unpaid Transaction Expenses and all Closing Date Unpaid Indebtedness owed by NewCo, its Subsidiaries or the Contributed Business as of the Closing Date, and there should be no amounts owed or due thereunder by GAHR III, GAHR IV or their Subsidiaries as of or following the Closing.

8.19 Redemption of OP Partnership Units. GAHR III shall cause GAHR III OP to redeem for cash (pursuant to the applicable OP Unit Repurchase Agreement) all of HoldCo’s then equity and interests in GAHR III OP immediately following the Closing. In addition, GAHR III shall cause GAHR IV to in turn cause GAHR III OP (as the surviving Person in the OP Merger) to redeem for cash (pursuant to the applicable OP Unit Repurchase Agreement) all of HoldCo’s then equity and interests in GAHR III OP immediately following the consummation of the OP Merger.

(b) any breach of a covenant, agreement or undertaking of any Sponsor Indemnifying Party (i.e., irrespective of the Sponsor Indemnifying Party obligated under such covenant, agreement or undertaking) in this Agreement (but excluding AHI’s, the AHI Principals’ and Flaherty Trust’s obligations in Section 3.4(b) hereof, which are not subject to the indemnity in this Section 11.3(b), as set forth in Section 11.8 hereof);

11.4 Limitations on Indemnification; Offset.

(a) Subject to Section 11.4(c): (i) the Sponsor Indemnified Persons may not recover any Losses under Section 11.2(a) until the total amount of all Losses with respect to those matters collectively exceed $1,347,000 (the “Basket”), in which case, subject to any other applicable limitations contained in this Section 11.4, the Sponsor Indemnified Persons will be entitled to recover all Losses, including the Basket; (ii) the Sponsor Indemnified Persons may not recover any Losses under Section 11.2(a) in excess of $13,470,000 (the “Cap”); and (iii) the payments by each Sponsor Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 11 in respect of any particular Loss shall not exceed the value of (x) such Sponsor Indemnifying Party’s Applicable Closing Date Proceeds Percentage multiplied by (y) the amount of such Loss.

(b) Subject to Section 11.4(c): (i) the GAHR III Indemnified Persons may not recover any Losses under Section 11.3(a) until the total of all Losses with respect to those matters collectively exceed the Basket, in which case, subject to any other applicable limitations contained in this Section 11.4, the GAHR III Indemnified Persons will be entitled to recover all Losses, including the Basket; and (ii) the GAHR III Indemnified Persons may not recover any Losses under Section 11.3(a) in excess of the Cap.

(d) Losses relating to any claim will be recoverable whenever they are incurred provided notice of the claim is given within the applicable survival period set forth in Section 11.1.

(e) Losses recoverable by a GAHR III Indemnified Person or a Sponsor Indemnified Person, as the case may be, shall be (i) reduced by (x) any amounts recovered by a GAHR III Indemnified Person or a Sponsor Indemnified Person, as the case may be, pursuant to any indemnification by, or indemnification agreement with, any Third Party and (y) Third Party insurance proceeds or other sources of cash reimbursement received, and (ii) increased by the amount of any costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the collection thereof, whether or not successful, and all insurance detriments (such as premium adjustments or increases) relating thereto, and shall not include any amounts already taken into account in the determination of a Final Adjustment Amount that has already been paid in full under Section 3.2(f) hereof (it being understood and agreed that the intent of this provision is to avoid duplicative recovery of the same amount of any Loss hereunder). The GAHR III Indemnified Persons and the Sponsor Indemnified Persons, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek recovery from any available Third Party insurance sources to minimize any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Section 11. If any such amounts are received by a GAHR III Indemnified Person or a Sponsor Indemnified Person, as the case may be, after being fully indemnified for the relevant Losses hereunder, such amounts will be returned by such GAHR III Indemnified Person or Sponsor Indemnified Person to the relevant indemnifying Person, as the case may be.

(f) In no event shall GAHR III or GAHR III OP, on the other hand, or any Sponsor Indemnifying Party, on the other hand, as applicable, be liable to any Sponsor Indemnified Person or GAHR III Indemnified Person, as applicable, for any punitive damages, except for any such to extent awarded by an Authority to a Third Party in connection with a Third Party Claim.

(g) Nothing in this Section 11 will adversely affect, or result in a reduction of, the rights of (or obligations to) the beneficiaries of Section 8.11, or adversely affect or modify the provisions therein.

11.5 Indemnification Claims.

(a) If a Sponsor Indemnified Person becomes aware of a claim (a “Claim”) for indemnification under Section 11.2 (other than a Third Party Claim which will be provided for in Section 11.6), HoldCo will promptly notify GAHR III of the Claim, specifying in reasonable detail, to the extent then known, the nature of the Losses suffered and the facts giving rise to the Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any failure to so notify GAHR III will not relieve GAHR III from its indemnification obligations or other Liabilities hereunder except to the extent (and only to the extent) that GAHR III demonstrates that the defense of the matter is materially and actually prejudiced thereby.

(b) If a GAHR III Indemnified Person becomes aware of a Claim for indemnification under Section 11.3 (other than a Third Party Claim which will be provided for in Section 11.6), it will promptly notify HoldCo of the Claim, specifying in reasonable detail, to the extent then known, the nature of the Losses suffered and the facts giving rise to the Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any failure to so notify HoldCo will not relieve HoldCo from its indemnification obligations or other Liabilities hereunder except to the extent (and only to the extent) that HoldCo demonstrates that the defense of the matter is materially and actually prejudiced thereby.

11.6 Third Party Claims; Procedures.

(a) If any indemnified party receives notice of the assertion of any claim, the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding, or the imposition of any penalty or assessment, by a Third Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder (a “Third Party Claim”), and the indemnified party intends to seek indemnity hereunder, then the indemnified party shall promptly provide the indemnifying party with written notice of the Third Party Claim (provided that any delay in providing such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of any indemnification responsibility under this Section 11 except to the extent (and only to the extent) that the indemnifying party demonstrates that such delay materially and actually prejudices the indemnifying party. Any such notice shall, with respect to any such Third Party Claim, specify in reasonable detail, to the extent then known, the nature of the Losses suffered and the facts giving rise to the claim.

(b) The indemnifying party shall have 30 days after receipt of such notice (or sooner if the nature of the Third Party Claim so requires) to elect to control the defense, compromise or settlement of the Third Party Claim with its own counsel at the indemnifying party’s expense; provided that in order to invoke such control right, (i) the indemnified party must not be reasonably expected to be liable for Losses materially in excess of amounts reasonably expected to be received from the indemnifying party and (ii) such proceeding must involve only monetary damages and must not seek an injunction or equitable relief against the indemnified party; provided further, that no indemnifying party shall consent to the entry of any judgment or admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim, without the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of the applicable indemnified party unless (i) the terms of such settlement contain a complete and unconditional release of such indemnified party with respect to such Third Party Claim and (ii) such settlement is solely on monetary terms and does not result in any financial or other obligation of the indemnified party (other than standard provisions related to confidentiality and any immaterial or administrative terms).

(c) The indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense by the indemnifying party of any Third Party Claim with the indemnified party’s own counsel at its own expense; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall pay such expenses if such indemnified party shall have been advised by its counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the indemnified party which are not available to such indemnifying party, or if available to such indemnifying party the assertion of which would be adverse to or in conflict with the interests of the indemnified party.

(d) In the event that the indemnifying party does not undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of a Third Party Claim (or could not elect to do so because the claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal or quasi-criminal matter or the claim seeks or is likely to seek an injunction or other equitable relief against the indemnified party) within the time frame specified in Section 11.6(b), the indemnified party shall have the right to control the defense or settlement of such Third Party Claim (but in so electing to control shall not have waived any rights to indemnification therefor hereunder) with counsel of its choosing at the expense of the indemnifying party. If the indemnified party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnified party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment, admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the indemnifying party’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except if (x) the indemnified party is reasonably expected to be liable for Losses materially in excess of amounts reasonably expected to be received from the indemnifying party or (y) such settlement or compromise is in respect of a proceeding that seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the indemnified party. The indemnifying party shall be entitled (at the indemnifying party’s expense) to participate (but not control) in the defense of any Third Party Claim with its own counsel in the case that it has not elected to undertake the defense thereof pursuant to Section 11.6(b).

(e) In their defense, compromise or settlement of any Third Party Claim, the parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other. Such cooperation shall include the retention and the provision of reasonable access to the books, records and assets which evidence or support such Third Party Claim or the act, omission or occurrence giving rise to such Third Party Claim and the right, upon prior notice, to interview any employee, agent or other representative related thereto.

(f) With regard to Claims (including Third Party Claims) for which indemnification is payable hereunder, such indemnification will be paid by the indemnifying party within five Business Days following the earliest to occur of (as applicable): (i) the resolution of the amount of Losses in connection with a Claim hereunder by an indemnifying party and the applicable indemnified parties, (ii) the entry of a judgment against the indemnified party and the expiration of any applicable appeal period or, if earlier, 10 days prior to the date that the judgment creditor has the right to execute the judgment; (iii) the entry of a non-appealable judgment or final appellate decision against the indemnified party; (iv) with respect to a Third Party Claim, a settlement of the Third Party Claim; or (v) with respect to indemnities for any Liability for Taxes, a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or an analogous provision of state, local or foreign Law.

11.7 Form of Payment. Subject to the limitations herein (including Section 11.4 hereof):

(a) If any Sponsor Indemnifying Party has any obligation to indemnify any GAHR III Indemnified Person for Losses, then GAHR III may, at its election and without any further action of any Sponsor Indemnifying Party, satisfy all or a portion of such Losses by (i) causing the transfer (back to GAHR III or GAHR III OP) or cancelation of OP Partnership Units (or securities of GAHR III issued upon redemption thereof under the Pre-Merger OP Operating Agreement or of GAHR IV upon redemption thereof under Post-Merger OP Operating Agreement, as applicable) having a value based on the then most recent net asset value per share of GAHR III (or of GAHR IV following the REIT Merger (or, if the common stock of GAHR III or GAHR IV, as applicable, is then listed on a national securities exchange, based on the average daily closing price per share thereof for the 30 trading days preceding the date of such transfer or cancelation) equal to such Losses, and/or (ii) offsetting such Losses against any Earnout Consideration then or later due to a Sponsor Indemnifying Party.

11.8 Exclusive Remedy; Exception for Certain Obligations in Section 3.4(b). After the Closing (but subject to the following sentence), the rights and remedies set forth in this Section 11 shall be the sole and exclusive rights and remedies of the GAHR III Indemnified Persons and the Sponsor Indemnified Persons under or in connection with this Agreement, except that nothing in this Agreement will limit any right to injunctive or other equitable relief or for any claim arising out of or relating to the fraud or willful misconduct of any of them or for claims exclusively as between the Sponsors. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, this Section 11 shall not govern (but similarly shall not limit) the rights and remedies of (a) the GAHR III Indemnified Persons, AHI, the AHI Principals and Flaherty Trust for any breach by any of them under Section 3.4(b) hereof or (b) AHI, the AHI Principals and Flaherty Trust for claims exclusively as between or among them in connection with Section 3.4(b) hereof.

SECTION 12. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

12.1 Interpretation and Usage.

(a) In this Agreement, unless there is a clear contrary intention: (i) when a reference is made to an article, a section, an exhibit or a schedule, that reference is to an article, a section, an exhibit or a schedule of or to this Agreement; (ii) the singular includes the plural and vice versa; (iii) reference to any agreement, document or instrument means that agreement, document or instrument as amended or modified and in effect from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof; (iv) reference to any Law means that Law as amended, modified,

codified, replaced or reenacted, in whole or in part, and in effect from time to time, including rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and reference to any section or other provision of any Law means that section or provision from time to time in effect and constituting the substantive amendment, modification, codification, replacement or reenactment of that section or provision; (v) “hereunder,” “hereof,” “hereto,” and words of similar import will be deemed references to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular article, section or other provision of this Agreement; (vi) “including” (and with correlative meaning “include”) means including without limiting the generality of any description preceding such term; (vii) references to agreements, documents or instruments will be deemed to refer as well to all addenda, exhibits, schedules or amendments thereto; (viii) the terms “writing,” “written” and words of similar import will be deemed to include communications and documents in e-mail, fax or any other similar electronic or documentary form (except that notices given under this Agreement must comply with the requirements of Section 12.8); (ix) the terms “provided” or “made available” to GAHR III or GAHR III OP mean that the Sponsors physically delivered to DLA Piper LLP (US) (“DLA”), as counsel to the Special Committee, the relevant document or information or that they granted DLA access to the applicable document or information on the AHI’s Citrix ShareFile site established in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Data Room”), in each case at least one Business Day prior to the date hereof (unless a provision of this Agreement expressly specifies an earlier date, in which case such earlier date will apply); (x) the phrase “transactions contemplated hereby,” (A) when used in reference to GAHR III or GAHR III OP shall not include the entry into, or consummation of the transactions contemplated by, the Merger Agreement, but (B) when used in reference to the Sponsors or their Affiliates, shall include the entry into, and consummation of the transactions contemplated by, the Merger Agreement; (xi) the phrase “each Sponsor will cause its respective Sponsor Contributor Entities” means that AHI will cause the AHI Contributors, and Griffin Capital will cause the Griffin Contributor, to undertake the required action(s); and (xii) the phrase “successor in interest,” when used in reference to GAHR III herein or in any Ancillary Document, shall include GAHR IV.

(b) All accounting terms used in this Agreement will be interpreted and all accounting determinations will be made in accordance with GAAP consistently applied with past practice. The table of contents and the headings of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience of the parties only and will not constitute a part hereof. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event of an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

(c) The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the parties and are for the benefit of only the parties. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the parties without notice or liability to any other Person. In some instances, the representations and warranties in this Agreement may not be intended as a statement of fact but may instead represent an allocation among the parties of the risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of the parties. Consequently, Third Parties may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date hereof or any other date.

12.2 Amendment and Modification. Subject to applicable Law, this Agreement may be amended or modified from time to time with respect to any of the terms contained herein if such amendment or modification is set forth in a writing duly authorized and executed by GAHR III, GAHR III OP, Griffin Capital and the Sponsor Representative; provided, however, in the event of an amendment or modification of any portion of Section 3.4 (or any amendment or modification of the defined terms therein, including the definitions of “Applicable Earnout Percentage” and “Current Fee Participation Amount”), such amendment or modification need only be set forth in a writing duly authorized and executed by GAHR III, GAHR III OP and the Sponsor Representative (but not Griffin Capital). For the avoidance of doubt, the Sponsor Representative is not authorized to take any actions pursuant to this Section 12.2 on behalf of Griffin Capital.

12.3 Waiver of Compliance; Consents. Any failure of a party to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition herein may only be waived in a writing signed by each of GAHR III, GAHR III OP and the Sponsor Representative, but any waiver or failure to insist upon strict compliance with the obligation, covenant, agreement or condition will not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure. No single or partial exercise of a right or remedy will preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other right or remedy hereunder. Whenever this Agreement requires or permits the consent or waiver by or on behalf of a party, the consent or waiver must be given in writing in the same manner as for waivers of compliance.

12.4 Actions of GAHR III; Authority of the Sponsor Representative.

(a) All amendments, modifications, consents, waivers, elections and determinations of GAHR III or GAHR III OP under or with regard to this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents shall be made only with the prior approval of the Special Committee of GAHR III or its designees (or, if the Special Committee has determined to dissolve itself, a majority of the then Independent Directors).

(b) Subject to Section 12.2 hereof, GAHR III and GAHR III OP may conclusively rely (without further inquiry) on any amendments, modifications, consents, waivers, elections and determinations of the Sponsor Representative hereunder as an amendment, modification, consent, waiver, election or determination accepted by all of the Sponsors and the Additional Indemnitors. Without limiting the foregoing right of GAHR III and GAHR III OP to so conclusively rely, the Sponsors and the Additional Indemnitors represent and warrant to GAHR III and GAHR IV that pursuant to a separate agreement among the Sponsors and the Additional Indemnitors (the “Sponsor Representative Agreement”), each of the Sponsors and Additional Indemnitors has appointed the Sponsor Representative as its initial representative, agent and attorney-in-fact to act for the Sponsor Indemnifying Parties in connection with this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents by taking any and all actions and making any decisions or consents required or permitted to be taken or made by the Sponsors and the other Sponsor Indemnifying Parties under this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents (which actions, decisions and consents the Sponsor Representative may undertake, make and grant in its good

faith sole discretion), except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the Sponsor Representative Agreement and the Ancillary Documents, including the exercise of the power to: (i) give and receive notices and communications to or from GAHR III and GAHR III OP relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions and other matters contemplated hereby; (ii) grant consents contemplated within, agree to amendments and modifications hereto (as set forth in Section 12.2 herein), and grant waivers under, this Agreement; (iii) agree to, object to, negotiate, resolve, enter into settlements and compromises of, demand litigation of, and comply with orders of courts with respect to (A) indemnification claims by any GAHR III Indemnified Person pursuant to Section 11 hereof or (B) any dispute between any GAHR III Indemnified Person and any Sponsor Indemnifying Party, in each case relating to this Agreement or any Ancillary Document; and (iv) take all actions necessary or appropriate in the good faith judgment of the Sponsor Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing; provided, however, that the Sponsor Representative shall not make any determinations as to whether any indemnifiable Losses hereunder are attributable to the fraud or intentional or willful misrepresentation or misconduct of a Sponsor Indemnifying Party without the consent of that Sponsor Indemnifying Party. Any decisions made by the Sponsor Representative will be made in the same manner as to all of the Sponsors and the other Sponsor Indemnifying Parties, e.g., the Sponsor Representative may not compromise an indemnification claim with respect to one Sponsor Indemnifying Party without also similarly compromising such claim for all other Sponsor Indemnifying Parties.

(c) If the Sponsor Representative intends at any time to resign, then that Sponsor Representative shall provide written notice of such intent to GAHR III, and such resignation shall only be effective upon the earlier of (i) twenty (20) calendar days following delivery of such written notice and (ii) that Sponsor Representative’s certification to GAHR III that a successor Sponsor Representative has been duly appointed effective immediately. If the Sponsors and the Additional Indemnitors at any time intend to appoint a successor Sponsor Representative, they must notify GAHR III thereof and that proposed successor Sponsor Representative must be reasonably acceptable to GAHR III. If for any reason there is at any time no Sponsor Representative that has been duly appointed or approved, then all references herein to the Sponsor Representative shall be deemed to refer to AHI.

12.5 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, each of the parties will bear its own costs and expenses (including legal fees, accounting, investment banking and other fees, costs and expenses) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

12.6 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement will entitle any Person (other than a party hereto and his, her or its respective successors and assigns permitted hereby) to any claim, cause of action, remedy or right of any kind; provided that, following the Closing, (i) the provisions of Section 8.11 will inure to the benefit of the directors and officers referred to therein, and (ii) the provisions of Section 11 will inure to the benefit of the Sponsor Indemnified Persons and the GAHR III Indemnified Persons. In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, none of the Sponsors or any of their Affiliates is a third-party beneficiary of the Merger Agreement, is entitled to enforce any of the provisions therein, is entitled to any consent rights over any amendments or waivers thereunder or is entitled to seek any claim, cause of action, remedy or right of any kind thereunder (whether in tort, contract or otherwise), it being understood that the sole remedies of the Sponsors and their Affiliates relating to the Merger Agreement are their ability to refuse to effect the Closing as permitted by Section 9.3(d) hereof and to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(b)(v) hereof.

12.7 No Circumvention. The parties agree not to directly or indirectly take any actions, act in concert with any Person who takes an action, or cause any Affiliate to take any actions (including the failure to take a reasonable action), such that the resulting effect is to undermine materially the effectiveness of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

12.8 Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications required or permitted hereunder must be made in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given and effective: (a) when delivered by hand to the address set forth below (with confirmation of receipt); (b) on the earlier of the third Business Day after certified mailing or the date of the return receipt acknowledgment, if mailed, postage prepaid, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested; (c) on the date of transmission, if sent by email; or (d) on the date of requested delivery if sent by a recognized overnight courier:

12.9 Assignment. Subject to the following sentence, this Agreement and each party’s respective rights and obligations hereunder, including rights to the Earnout Consideration, may not be directly or indirectly assigned (including by economic participation) at any time without the prior written consent of GAHR III and the Sponsor Representative, and any assignment or purported assignment in violation of this Section 12.9 will be void and of no legal force or effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such consent shall be required (i) in connection with the assignment by GAHR III and/or GAHR III OP of their rights and obligations under this Agreement to GAHR IV or its Subsidiaries or (ii) in connection with AHI’s granting economic participations in the Earnout Consideration to its Affiliates or NewCo employees prior to the Closing but only if such Affiliates or employees acknowledge that they have no rights or recourse as against GAHR III (or its successors or Subsidiaries, including NewCo following the Closing) in connection therewith.

12.10 Governing Law and Venue.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with (i) the laws of the State of Maryland with respect to matters, issues and questions relating to the internal actions and affairs of GAHR III (including the powers, rights, duties and obligations of the directors, officers and stockholders) and (ii) the laws of the State of Delaware with respect to all other matters, issues and questions (in tort, contract or otherwise), without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

(b) Each party hereto stipulates that any dispute or disagreement between or among any of the parties hereto as to the interpretation of any provision of, or the performance of obligations under or relating to (whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise), this Agreement shall be commenced and prosecuted in its entirety in, and consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and proper venue of, the Delaware Court of Chancery (and if the Delaware Court of Chancery shall be unavailable, any federal court located within the State of Delaware), and each party hereto consents to personal and subject matter jurisdiction and venue in such courts and waives and relinquishes all right to attack the suitability or convenience of such venue or forum by reason of its present or future domiciles, or by any other reason, for any such dispute or disagreement. The parties hereto acknowledge that all directions issued by the forum court, including all injunctions and other decrees, will be binding and enforceable in all jurisdictions and countries.

12.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement will become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes. At the request of any party, the parties will confirm a facsimile of pdf transmission by signing a duplicate original document.

12.12 Specific Performance. Each party acknowledges and agrees that the other parties would be irreparably damaged and would not have adequate remedies at law in the event that the covenants set forth in this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that each party hereto will be entitled to an injunction to specifically enforce the terms of this Agreement, without obligation to post any bond, solely in the courts specified in Section 12.10 (Governing Law and Venue), in addition to any other remedy to which such party may be entitled hereunder, at law or in equity.

12.13 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Confidentiality Agreement), including the annexes, exhibits and schedules hereto, embodies the entire agreement and understanding among the parties and their Representatives in respect of the subject matter contained herein and supersedes all prior agreements and the understandings (oral or written) between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. No discussions regarding, or exchange of drafts, comments, letters of intent or term sheets in connection with, the transactions contemplated herein will constitute an agreement among the parties hereto. Any agreement among the parties will exist only when the parties have fully executed and delivered this Agreement.

12.14 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement will nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economics or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby are not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon determination that any term or other provision hereof is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

12.15 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE PARTIES WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM (IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE MAKING, PERFORMANCE OR INTERPRETATION THEREOF, INCLUDING FRAUDULENT INDUCEMENT THEREOF.
