RECITALS

A. Landlord and Tenant are parties to that certain Master Lease dated August 16, 2019 (as amended to date, the “Lease”), pursuant to which Landlord has leased to Tenant those skilled nursing facilities located in the states of Iowa and Georgia and more particularly described in the Lease (each, a “Facility” and, collectively, the “Facilities”). Initially capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Lease.

B. Pursuant to that certain Guaranty of Master Lease dated August 16, 2019 (the “Current Guaranty”), Trillium Healthcare Group, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Current Guarantor”), guaranteed the obligations of Tenant under the Lease.

C. Fairway Healthcare Partners, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Fairway”) directly owns 100% of the ownership interests in Tenant. Current Guarantor directly owns 100% of the ownership interests in Fairway. Tenant and Current Guarantor have requested that Landlord consent to the sale by Current Guarantor of 100% of the ownership interests in Fairway from Current Guarantor to Assisted 4 Living, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“New Owner”) (the “Change of Control Transaction”), and Landlord is willing to consent to the Change of Control Transaction under the terms and conditions set forth herein.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Consent of Landlord. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Landlord hereby consents to the Change of Control Transaction. Landlord and Tenant agree that the Change of Control Transaction does constitute a Transfer for which Landlord’s consent is required under the Lease; provided, however, this Agreement and the consent of Landlord to the Change of Control Transaction shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent Transfer.

2. Security Deposit. On the date hereof, and as a condition precedent to Landlord’s consent to the Change of Control Transaction, Tenant shall cause to be paid to and deposited with Landlord the amount of One Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,200,000) to be held as a Security Deposit under the Lease and as security for the full and faithful performance by Tenant of each and every term, provision, covenant and condition of the Lease. Amounts paid to and deposited with Landlord pursuant to this Section 2 shall be held by Landlord as a Security Deposit pursuant to the terms of Section 3.1 of the Lease.

3. Guaranty of Lease. As of the date hereof, and as a condition precedent to Landlord’s consent to the Change of Control Transaction, Tenant shall cause New Owner to execute a guaranty of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Corporate Guaranty”).

Trillium Consent

4. Change of Control Transaction Documents. Prior to the date hereof, Tenant has caused to be delivered to Landlord a true, complete, and correct copy of the Amended and Restated Membership Interest Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Change of Control Transaction is to be consummated. Tenant represents and warrants that no amendments to the Amended and Restated Membership Interest Purchase Agreement have been entered into since delivery of documents to Landlord. Tenant hereby agrees that Landlord shall have the right to review and approve any material amendments or other material modifications made to the Amended and Restated Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (or to the material terms of the Change of Control Transaction).

5. Amendment to Master Lease. Schedule 2 attached to the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the form of Schedule 2A attached to this Agreement. Upon the closing of the Change of Control Transaction, Schedule 2 to the Lease shall be automatically amended without the need of any further action by the parties to replace Schedule 2 with the form of Schedule 2B attached hereto.

6. Ratification. Notwithstanding the modifications to the Lease contained herein, Tenant hereby acknowledges and reaffirms its obligations under the Lease, as amended hereby, and all other documents executed by Tenant in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the modifications to the Lease contained herein, Current Guarantor hereby acknowledges and reaffirms its obligations under the Current Guaranty and all documents executed by Current Guarantor in connection therewith to the extent any such obligations exist following the closing of the Change of Control Transaction. Tenant hereby represents and warrants that the person or entity signing this Agreement on behalf of Tenant is authorized to do so and is authorized to bind Tenant with respect to all matters involving the Lease and the Premises.

7. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, will constitute but one agreement. This Agreement may be executed electronically and executed copies hereof may be delivered by facsimile, email or similar electronic means and upon receipt will be deemed originals and binding upon the parties hereto, regardless of whether originals are delivered thereafter.

8. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matters contained herein. Any oral representations or statements concerning the subject matters herein shall be of no force or effect.

THIS GUARANTY OF MASTER LEASE (this “Guaranty”) is made effective as of June 10, 2021, by ASSISTED 4 LIVING, INC., a Nevada corporation (“Guarantor”), in favor of CTR PARTNERSHIP, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Landlord”).

R E C I T A L S

A. Landlord and Greenside Healthcare Properties, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Tenant”), have entered into that certain Master Lease dated as of August 1, 2019 (the “Lease”). All initially capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings given such terms in the Lease.

B. Trillium Healthcare Group, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Current Guarantor”) has entered into that certain Guaranty of Master Lease dated August 16, 2019 in favor of Landlord and pursuant to which Current Guarantor guarantees the payment and performance of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease.

C. Fairway Healthcare Partners, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Fairway”) directly owns 100% of the ownership interests in Tenant. Current Guarantor directly owns 100% of the ownership interests in Fairway. Tenant and Current Guarantor have requested that Landlord consent to the sale by Current Guarantor of 100% of the ownership interests in Fairway from Current Guarantor to Guarantor (the “Change of Control Transaction”). Landlord, Tenant and Current Guarantor have entered into that certain Consent Agreement and Amendment to Master Lease dated on or about the date hereof (the “Consent Agreement”).

D. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that this Guaranty is given in accordance with the requirements of the Consent Agreement and that Landlord would not have been willing to consent to the Change of Control Transaction unless Guarantor was willing to execute and deliver this Guaranty.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Landlord entering into the Consent Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Guarantor agrees as follows:

1. Guaranty. Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Landlord the following (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”):

(a) payment in full by Tenant of all Rent (including, without limitation, Base Rent and Additional Rent) and other amounts due under the Lease in the manner and at the time prescribed in the Lease;

(b) the full, complete and timely performance by Tenant of all covenants, indemnities and other obligations under the Lease, including, without limitation, any indemnity or other obligations of Tenant that survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease;

(c) the accuracy and truthfulness in all material respects of all of the representations and warranties made by Tenant under the Lease; and

Exhibit A

Corporate Guaranty

(d) all costs of collection or enforcement incurred by Landlord in exercising any remedies provided for in the Lease, whether at law or in equity, with respect to the matters set forth in clauses (a) through (c), inclusive, above.

2. Performance by Guarantor. If any Rent or other amount due under the Lease shall not be paid, or any obligation not performed as required by the Lease, then upon demand by Landlord, Guarantor shall pay, within ten (10) days of demand by Landlord, such sums and perform such obligations as required by the Lease, without regard to:

(a) any defense, set-off or counterclaim which Guarantor or Tenant may have or assert;

(b) whether Landlord shall have instituted any suit, action or proceeding or exhausted its remedies or taken any steps to enforce any rights against Tenant or any other person to collect all or any part of such sums, either pursuant to the provisions of the Lease or at law or in equity (it being understood that this is a guaranty of payment and not collection, and Guarantor’s liability for such payment shall be primary); or

Guarantor waives any right of exoneration and any right to require Landlord to make an election of remedies. Guarantor covenants and agrees that it shall not cause any default under the Lease. Guarantor’s performance or satisfaction of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge Guarantor’s obligation for that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which is not performed, and Landlord shall have the right to designate the manner in which any payments made by Tenant under the Lease or by Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty are applied to the Guaranteed Obligations. Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Landlord receives payment for, or is awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce Guarantor’s covenant to perform, a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, such payment or judgment shall in no way be deemed to release Guarantor from its covenant to perform or satisfy any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which is not satisfied by such payment or collection of such judgment.

3. Guarantor’s Representations and Warranties. Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to Landlord that:

(a) this Guaranty constitutes a legal, valid, and binding obligation of Guarantor and is fully enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws of general application and of legal or equitable principles generally and covenants of good faith and fair dealing;

(b) Guarantor is the direct or indirect owner of all of the ownership interests of each Tenant; and

Any material breach by Guarantor of the representations and warranties set forth herein shall be a default under this Guaranty.

4. Waiver. Guarantor hereby knowingly, voluntarily and unequivocally waives:

(a) all notice of acceptance hereof, protest, demand and dishonor, presentment and demands of any kind now or hereafter provided for by any statute or rule of law;

(b) any and all requirements that Landlord institute any action or proceeding, or exhaust any or all of Landlord’s rights, remedies or recourse, against Tenant or anyone else as a condition precedent to bringing an action against Guarantor under this Guaranty, it being expressly agreed that the liability of Guarantor hereunder shall be primary and not secondary;

(c) any defense arising by reason of any disability, insolvency, bankruptcy, lack of authority or power, death, insanity, minority, dissolution or any other defense of Tenant, its successors and assigns, Guarantor or, if applicable, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations (even though rendering same void, unenforceable or otherwise uncollectible), it being agreed that Guarantor shall remain liable hereon regardless of whether Tenant or any other such person be found not liable thereon for any reason;

(d) the benefits of any and all statutes, laws, rules or regulations applicable in the State that may require the prior or concurrent joinder of any other party to any action on this Guaranty or which may require the exhaustion of remedies prior to a suit on this Guaranty, all as amended from time to time;

(e) any claim Guarantor might otherwise have against Landlord by virtue of Landlord’s invocation of any right, remedy or recourse permitted it hereunder, under the Lease or otherwise available at law or equity;

(f) any failure, omission, delay or lack on the part of Landlord or Tenant to enforce, assert or exercise any right, power or remedy conferred on Landlord or Tenant in the Lease or this Guaranty or any action on the part of Landlord granting a waiver, indulgence or extension to Tenant or Guarantor;

(g) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all the assets of Tenant, marshaling of assets or liabilities, receiverships, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition or readjustment of, or other similar proceeding affecting Tenant or any of its assets, or the disaffirmance of the Lease in any such proceeding;

(h) any release or other reduction of the Guaranteed Obligations arising as a result of the expansion, release, substitution or replacement (whether or not in accordance with terms of the Lease) of the Premises or any portion thereof; and

(i) any release or other reduction of the Guaranteed Obligations arising as a result of the release, substitution or replacement of any letter of credit issued and outstanding pursuant to the Lease.

This Guaranty shall apply notwithstanding any extension or renewal of the Lease, or any holdover following the expiration or termination of the Term or any renewal or extension of the Term.

(b) are true and correct in all material respects;

(d) reflect accurately, in all material respects, the books and records of account of Guarantor as of such dates and for such periods.

(b) any additional parties who are or may become liable for the Guaranteed Obligations may hereafter be released from their liability hereunder and thereon; and/or

(c) Landlord may take, or delay in taking or refuse to take, any and all action with reference to the Lease (regardless of whether same might vary the risk or alter the rights, remedies or recourse of Guarantor), including specifically the settlement or compromise of any amount allegedly due thereunder.

This Guaranty is a continuing guarantee and will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the occurrence of any of the foregoing acts and no such act shall in any way release, diminish, or affect the absolute nature of Guarantor’s obligations and liabilities hereunder. Guarantor’s obligations and liabilities under this Guaranty are primary, absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and until the Guaranteed Obligations are fully and finally satisfied, such obligations and liabilities shall not be discharged or released, in whole or in part, by any act or occurrence which might, but for this Section 6, be deemed a legal or equitable discharge or release of Guarantor.

7. Subordination. If for any reason whatsoever Tenant now or hereafter becomes indebted to Guarantor or any Affiliate of Guarantor, such indebtedness and all interest thereon shall at all times be subordinate in all respects to the Guaranteed Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty or any payments made by Guarantor, Guarantor shall not have any right of subrogation in or under the Lease or to participate in the rights and benefits accruing to Landlord thereunder, all such rights of subrogation and participation, together with all of the contractual, statutory, or common law rights which Guarantor may have to be reimbursed for any payments Guarantor may make to, or performance by Guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations for the benefit of, Landlord pursuant to this Guaranty, being hereby expressly waived and released.
