WHEREAS, the Property is operated as an independent living facility; WHEREAS, the Manager has experience and expertise in the management of independent living facilities; and WHEREAS, the Owner wishes the Manager to manage the Property, and the Manager desires to do so, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. AGREEMENT NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Owner and the Manager agree as follows. ARTICLE I GENERAL PROVISIONS Section 1.01. Employment as Exclusive Leasing Agent and the Manager. The Owner hereby employs the Manager as its exclusive agent for leasing, operating and managing the Property. The Manager accepts such employment and agency and, subject to the terms and conditions hereof and such express restrictions or limitations on its authority and, to the extent not inconsistent with the terms and conditions hereof, such written instructions as may from time to time be given by the Owner, agrees to perform the duties and obligations described herein. In its performance of its duties under this Agreement, the Manager shall be an independent contractor rather than an employee of the Owner. Section 1.02. The Manager's Duties Generally. (a) The Manager shall assist the Owner in the leasing, management, operation, supervision, control and administration of the Property and, by its execution hereof, the Manager accepts the relationship of trust and confidence established between itself and the Owner. In accepting its employment hereunder, the Manager shall (i) perform its responsibilities hereunder with the same or a greater degree of diligence, competence and care exercised by leading real estate brokers, agents and managers of facilities of the same or similar type as the Property in the general areas in which the Property is located and (ii) act with due care in its management of the Owner's funds and property and avoid conflicts of interest or self dealing that would be detrimental to the interests of the Owner. In addition to the obligations expressly provided for in this Agreement, the Manager shall do such other things on behalf of the Owner that are consistent with this Agreement, necessary or appropriate, in the judgment of the Owner, and communicated to the Manager, for the proper and profitable operation of the Property. (b) Without limiting the restrictions placed upon the Manager pursuant to Subsection (a), the Manager hereby agrees that: (i) during the Term of this Agreement neither the Manager nor any person controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Manager (an "Affiliate") shall develop, finance, operate, manage or acquire any direct or indirect interest in any assisted living, independent living, or congregate care facility (as the case may be) located within five miles of the Property (a "Competing Facility") without the prior written consent of the Owner, provided, however, that in the event that the Manager enters into a transaction involving a Portfolio Transaction (as defined below), the Manager may own, operate or manage, as applicable, any Competing Facility, connected with a Portfolio Transaction and located within such radius, if (A) the Manager does not relocate any Property Staff involved in the marketing of the Property to such Competing Facility or otherwise employ marketing materials or trade secrets specifically developed for use in the Property; and (B) the Manager does not reposition the Competing Facility to compete directly with the Property. For purposes of this Subsection, "Portfolio Transaction" shall mean a single transaction in which the Manager acquires the ownership of, leasehold interest in, or is contracted to manage, at least five operating assisted living or independent living facilities. (ii) during the Term of this Agreement and for a period of one year thereafter, neither the Manager nor any Affiliate will, in connection with any independent living facility or assisted living facility (as the case may be) in which it directly or indirectly owns an interest or which it manages, solicit any of the tenants of the Property or interfere, either directly or indirectly, in any manner, with any relationship between the tenants of the Property and their landlord(s). (iii) for a period of one year after the expiration of this Agreement, neither the Manager nor any Affiliate will solicit any of the Property Staff (as defined in Section 3.01) or interfere, either directly or indirectly, in any manner, with their employment by the Owner, another lessee or owner of the Property, or the successor to the Manager, as applicable. (c) If any provision of this Section is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the covenants contained herein shall be applicable and enforceable for such lesser period of time and for such lesser activity included within such limitations, as such court may then or thereafter determine to be reasonable and proper under the circumstances. (d) In the event that any provision hereof is deemed to be unenforceable, the remainder of this Section shall not be affected thereby and each provision hereof shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. (e) The Manager hereby acknowledges that the damages the Owner would sustain in the event of any violation of the provisions of this Section are difficult or impossible to 2 ascertain. Accordingly, the Manager hereby agrees that the Owner shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedy or damages available to it in the event of any such violation, to injunctive relief to restrain such violation by the Manager and any person or entity acting for or with the Manager Section 1.03. Term of Agreement. The initial term of this Agreement (the "Initial Term") shall commence on the date of this Agreement and unless otherwise set forth in this Agreement, shall continue through the fifth anniversary of the date of this Agreement, and shall thereafter be automatically renewed for successive one-year extensions except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement and the limited liability company agreement of BRE/CSL L.L.C. (the "Venture L.L.C. Agreement"). Section 1.04. Compensation. As compensation for the Manager's performance of its obligations hereunder, the Owner agrees to pay to the Manager the fees for the Property as set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto. Section 1.05.

The Manager or the Parent shall notify the Owner in writing of the occurrence of any of the events specified in Sections 1.05(a)(i)-(x) above promptly after it first learns of such event.

(a) The Owner's Insurance Coverage. The Manager will obtain at the Owner's sole cost and expense the following coverage for the Owner with respect to the Property.
