FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 1	UNDER THE BYLAWS OF THE ORGANIZATION, THE BOARD HAS DELEGATED AUTHORITY TO AN EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE COMPRISED OF THE ORGANIZATION'S CHAIRMAN, PRESIDENT, SECRETARY AND TREASURER. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE HAS AND MAY EXERCISE ALL OF THE POWERS AND AUTHORITY OF THE BOARD IN THE MANAGEMENT OF THE BUSINESS AND AFFAIRS OF THE ORGANIZATION EXCEPT FOR THOSE ACTIONS RESERVED SOLELY TO THE MEMBER OR THE DIRECTORS UNDER THE GENERAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF MARYLAND.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 3	ON APRIL 30, 2010, TALLGRASS CREEK, INC. ENTERED INTO A NEW MANAGEMENT AND MARKETING AGREEMENT WITH ERICKSON LIVING MANAGEMENT, LLC ("ELM") TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES PREVIOUSLY PROVIDED BY ERC. ELM IS A SUBSIDIARY OF REDWOOD-ERC SENIOR LIVING HOLDINGS, LLC, NOW KNOWN AS ERICKSON LIVING HOLDINGS, LLC WHICH, TOGETHER WITH OTHER RELATED ENTITIES, PURCHASED THE MAJORITY OF THE ASSETS OF ERC. ELM IS A MARYLAND LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY WHICH OPERATES AND MANAGES LARGE SCALE CONTINUING CARE RETIREMENT COMMUNITIES. AN AMENDMENT WAS MADE TO THE MASTER LEASE AND USE AGREEMENT TO CHANGE THE LEASE TERM FROM 27.5 YEARS WITH TWO 10-YEAR RENEWAL OPTIONS AND ONE 2.5 YEAR RENEWAL OPTION, TO 20 YEARS WITH THREE 10-YEAR RENEWAL OPTIONS, AND TO ALLOW THE ORGANIZATION TO EXERCISE ITS PURCHASE OPTION AT 20 YEARS AND AT THE END OF EACH RENEWAL PERIOD, INSTEAD OF 27.5 YEARS (AND AT THE END OF EACH RENEWAL PERIOD). THIS AMENDMENT WAS MADE RETROACTIVE TO MAY 1, 2010. AMENDMENTS WERE MADE TO THE MASTER LEASE AND THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AS OF JANUARY 1, 2013. THE AMENDMENTS WERE MADE PRIMARILY TO ADDRESS THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES TO FUND REPOSITIONING AND ROUTINE "LIFE CYCLE" CAPITAL EXPENDITURES AS WELL AS OTHER MATTERS AND INCLUDE: A REDUCTION IN THE PURCHASE PRICE TO 95% OF FAIR MARKET VALUE IN THE EVENT THAT THE COMMUNITY EXERCISES THE BUYOUT OPTION; ELIMINATION OF THE ANNUAL RESERVE FOR REPOSITIONING PROJECTS OF UP TO 2% OF THE AGGREGATE ASSET VALUE OF THE COMMUNITY; AND IN LIEU THEREOF ESTABLISHING A REPOSITIONING RESERVE THAT WILL BE FUNDED BY 7% OUT OF THE COMMUNITY'S EBITDAR; AND AN AGREEMENT BY THE LANDLORD TO MATCH ANY EXPENDITURE FROM THE REPOSITIONING RESERVE ON A 2-FOR-1 BASIS AND TO FUND ANY EXCESS COST BEYOND THAT TOTAL. THAT EFFECTIVELY REDUCED THE COMMUNITY'S LIABILITY FOR THE COST OF REPOSITIONING PROJECTS FROM 100% AS IN THE ORIGINAL LEASE TO NO MORE THAN ONE-THIRD OF THE COST UNDER THE AMENDMENT. THE AMENDMENTS ALSO ESTABLISHED A CAPITAL EXPENDITURES RESERVE THE EFFECT OF WHICH IS TO EVEN OUT THE FUNDING OF "LIFE CYCLE" EXPENDITURES. THE MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT WAS REVISED AS "AMENDED AND RESTATED" WITH A NEW EFFECTIVE DATE. AMENDMENTS WERE ALSO MADE TO THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT TO ADDRESS THE CAPITAL EXPENDITURE AND CAPITAL REPOSITIONING RESERVES. DURING THE YEAR, THE COMMUNITY OPENED ITS "CONTINUING CARE" FACILITY TO RESIDENTS. AT THAT TIME, THE COMMUNITY NEGOTIATED AMENDMENTS TO THE MANAGEMENT AND MARKETING AGREEMENT. IN EXCHANGE FOR CERTAIN FEE CONCESSIONS BY THE MANAGER, THE COMMUNITY AGREED TO ENTER INTO AN AMENDED AND RESTATED MANAGEMENT AND MARKETING AGREEMENT ON JULY 26, 2013 WITH A TEN YEAR TERM EFFECTIVE AS OF NOVEMBER 15, 2013. THE PURPOSE OF THE AMENDMENT WAS TO CHANGE THE TIMING OF THE FIRST MARKET EVALUATION OF THE MANAGEMENT FEE FROM THE THIRD YEAR TO THE FOURTH YEAR OF THE TERM OF THE AGREEMENT IN ORDER TO ALLOW THE COMMUNITY ADDITIONAL TIME TO STUDY THE MARKET AND DETERMINE WHETHER IT WOULD BE TO ITS ADVANTAGE TO INITIATE THE REVIEW. THE FOLLOWING OFFICERS ARE LISTED IN PART VII, AS NON-COMPENSATED OFFICERS OF THE FILING ORGANIZATION, JOHN HALL, JAMES WALTER, AND CHRIS RATHMANN. THEIR DUTIES ARE CONSIDERED PERFORMED PRO BONO.

THE BOARD CHAIR HAS THE RESPONSIBILITY TO REVIEW FORM 990 PRIOR TO ITS FILING OR TO DESIGNATE ANOTHER BOARD MEMBER TO REVIEW THE FORM. THE FULL BOARD IS GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THE FINAL VERSION OF FORM 990 BEFORE IT IS FILED AND ASK QUESTIONS OF THE COMMITTEE OR THE REVIEWER REGARDING THE FORM. THE BOARD CHAIR DESIGNATES AN OFFICER TO SIGN FORM 990.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C	TALLGRASS CREEK, INC.'S CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY COVERS ALL DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, KEY EMPLOYEES, EMPLOYEES AND VOLUNTEERS IN A POSITION TO EXERCISE SUBSTANTIAL INFLUENCE OVER TALLGRASS CREEK, INC.'S AFFAIRS, COMMITTEE MEMBERS, PROSPECTIVE DIRECTORS, AND SENIOR STAFF PROVIDING SERVICES TO THE ORGANIZATION UNDER A MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT. EACH COVERED PERSON COMPLETES A CONFLICT OF INTEREST DISCLOSURE STATEMENT ANNUALLY AND AS POTENTIAL CONFLICTS ARISE DURING THE YEAR. THESE STATEMENTS ARE REVIEWED BY THE BOARD CHAIR.

THE FULL BOARD HAS ACCESS TO TALLGRASS CREEK INC.'S CONSULTANT'S REPORT AND AN OPPORTUNITY TO QUESTION THE CONSULTANT ABOUT THE PROCESS, METRICS, AND COMPARABLES THAT WERE USED IN DETERMINING THE RECOMMENDED COMPENSATION. THE BOARD THEN VOTES ON THE COMPENSATION RECOMMENDATIONS AND A CONTEMPORANEOUS RECORD IS MADE OF THE MEETING AND THE VOTE.
