Borrowers shall accept the Loan from Lender on the Closing Date.

repaid hereunder in respect of the Loan may not be reborrowed. Notwithstanding

amounts into the Collateral Accounts, (iv) pay costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the closing of the Loan, including, but not limited to, Lender's

requirements of the Properties, as approved by Lender and (vi) pay any
recoupment of deposits or expenses in connection with the acquisition of any of
the Properties or in any failed financing in the past nine (9) months.

          Section 2.2. Interest Rate.

          2.2.1. Interest Rate. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of
the Loan shall accrue from the Closing Date up to but excluding the Maturity
Date at the Interest Rate.

          2.2.2. Default Rate. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the outstanding principal
balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in
respect of the Loan, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from
the date on which the default which gave rise to the Event of Default occurred
without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein.

          2.2.3. Interest Calculation. Interest on the outstanding principal
balance of the Loan shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of
days elapsed in the applicable Interest Accrual Period by (b) a daily rate based

Default Rate, as the case may be, divided by three hundred sixty (360)) by (c)
the outstanding principal balance.

          2.2.4. Usury Savings. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are
subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrowers be required to
pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject
Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of
the Maximum Legal Rate. If by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, any Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on
the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal
Rate, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed
to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in
excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in
reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All
sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention
of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated
term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on
account of the Loan does

                                       25

<PAGE>

not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to
the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

          Section 2.3. Loan Payments.

          2.3.1. Payment Before Maturity Date. Borrowers shall make a payment to
Lender of interest only on the Closing Date for the period from the Closing Date
through the last day of the Interest Accrual Period in which the Closing Date
occurs (unless the Closing Date is the fifteenth (15th) day of a calendar month,
in which case no such separate payment of interest shall be due) (the "Stub
Interest Payment"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender will waive the
requirement of payment of the Stub Interest Payment on the Closing Date and the
Borrowers hereby agree and covenant to pay the Stub Interest Payment on November
15, 2002. Borrowers shall make a payment to Lender of monthly interest on the
Loan on the Payment Date occurring in December, 2002 and on each Payment Date
thereafter to and including the Maturity Date. Together with each monthly
payment of interest, Borrowers shall make a payment of principal to Lender in
the amount set forth on the amortization schedule attached hereto as Schedule
VI. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Re-sizing or adjustment in the Loan
Amount shall have occurred pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, Borrowers
shall make a payment of principal to Lender in the amount set forth on any
replacement amortization schedule hereafter delivered in connection with such
Re-sizing or adjustment. All payments to Lender by Borrowers under this Loan
Agreement shall be made by wire transfer of funds to an account designated by
Lender.

          2.3.2. Payment on Maturity Date. Borrowers shall pay to Lender on the
Maturity Date the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and
unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the
Mortgages and the other Loan Documents.

          2.3.3. Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other
sum due under the Loan Documents (excluding the principal payment due on the
Maturity Date) is not paid by any Borrower on the date on which it is due,
Borrowers shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five
percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable
law in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing
such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such
delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgages and the
other Loan Documents.

          2.3.4. Method and Place of Payment.

               (a) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all
payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to
Lender or Lender's designee not later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on
the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of
America in immediately available funds at Lender's office or such other place as
Lender shall direct, and any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for
all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business
Day.

                                       26

<PAGE>

               (b) Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any other
Loan Document shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day,
the due date thereof shall be the preceding Business Day.

               (c) All payments required to be made by Borrowers hereunder or
under the Note or the other Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and
without deduction for, any setoff, claim or counterclaim and shall be made
irrespective of any defense thereto.

          2.3.5. Acceptable Interest Rate Cap Agreement. Borrowers shall obtain
and maintain an Acceptable Interest Rate Cap Agreement throughout the term of
the Loan, including any extension thereof contemplated herein, and shall cause
such Acceptable Interest Rate Cap Agreement to be collaterally assigned to
Lender pursuant to the terms set forth in the Collateral Assignment of Interest
Rate Cap. Each Borrower shall comply with all of its obligations under the terms
and provisions of each Acceptable Interest Rate Cap Agreement. All amounts paid
by the cap provider under an Acceptable Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be
deposited directly by the cap provider into the Cash Management Account. Each
Borrower shall take all actions reasonably requested by Lender to enforce
Lender's rights under the Acceptable Interest Rate Cap Agreement in the event of
a default by the cap provider thereunder and shall not waive, amend or otherwise
modify any of its rights or any provisions thereunder without Lender's consent
and Rating Agency Confirmation.

          2.3.6. Other Taxes. (a) All payments made by any Borrower hereunder
shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of,
income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees,
deductions, reserves or withholdings imposed, levied, collected, withheld or
assessed by any Governmental Authority, which are imposed, enacted or become
effective after the date hereof excluding income and franchise taxes of the
United States of America or any political subdivision or taxing authority
thereof or therein (such non-excluded taxes being referred to collectively as
"Other Taxes"). If any Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts
payable to Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to Lender shall be increased
to the extent necessary to yield to Lender (after payment of all Other Taxes)
interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rate or in the
amounts specified hereunder. Whenever any Other Taxes are payable pursuant to
applicable law by any Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter, such
Borrower shall send to Lender an original official receipt, if available, or
certified copy thereof showing payment of such Other Taxes. Each Borrower hereby
indemnifies Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may
become payable by Lender which may result from any failure by such Borrower to
pay any such Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or any
failure by any Borrower to remit to Lender the required receipts or other
required documentary evidence.

          (b) If any Borrower is required by law to withhold or deduct any
amount from any payment hereunder in respect of any U.S. Tax, such Borrower
shall withhold or deduct the appropriate amount, remit such amount to the
appropriate Governmental Authority and pay to each Person to whom there has been
an assignment or participation of the Loan and who is not a U.S. Person such
additional amounts as are necessary in order that the net payment of any amount
due to such non-U.S. Person hereunder after deduction for or withholding in
respect of any U.S. Tax imposed with respect to such payment (or in lieu
thereof, payment of such U.S.

                                       27

<PAGE>

Tax by such non-U.S. Person), will not be less than the amount stated herein to
be then due and payable; provided that the foregoing obligation to pay such
additional amounts shall not apply (i) to any assignee that has not complied
with the obligations contained in Section 9.1(d), (ii) to any U.S. Taxes imposed
solely by reason of the failure by such Person (or, if such Person is not the
beneficial owner of the Loan, such beneficial owner) to comply with applicable
certification, information, documentation or other reporting requirements
concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connections with the United
States of America of such Person (or beneficial owner, as the case may be) if
such compliance is required by statute or regulation of the United States of
America as a precondition to relief or exemption from such U.S. Taxes; or (iii)
with respect to any Person who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the
sole beneficial owner of such payment, to any U.S. Tax imposed with respect to
payments made under the Note to a fiduciary or partnership to the extent that
the beneficial owner or member of the partnership would not have been entitled
to the additional amounts if such beneficial owner or member of the partnership
had been the holder of the Note.

          2.3.7. Regulatory Change. In the event that any change in any
requirement of law or in the interpretation or application thereof, or
compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the
force of law) hereafter issued from any central bank or other Governmental
Authority, including, without limitation, any imposition of or increase in any
reserve requirement with respect to a LIBOR-based loan: (i) shall hereafter have
the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender's capital as a consequence
of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have
achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration
Lender's policies with respect to capital adequacy) by any amount deemed by
Lender to be material; or (ii) shall hereafter impose on Lender any other
condition and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to
Lender of making, renewing or maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to
reduce any amount receivable hereunder; then, in any such case, Borrowers shall
promptly pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate
Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which Lender deems
to be material as determined by Lender. Lender shall take reasonable steps to
minimize or eliminate such additional costs. If Lender becomes entitled to claim
any additional amounts pursuant to this Section, Lender shall provide Borrowers
with not less than thirty (30) days written notice specifying in reasonable
detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional
amount required to fully compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced
amount. A certificate as to any additional costs or amounts payable pursuant to
the foregoing sentence, executed by an authorized signatory of Lender and
submitted by Lender to any Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error. If Lender shall fail to notify Borrowers of any such event
within 180 days following the end of the month during which such event occurred,
each Borrower's liability for any amounts described in this Section incurred by
such Lender as a result of such event shall be limited to those attributable to
the period occurring subsequent to the 180th day prior to the date upon which
such Lender actually notified Borrowers of the occurrence of such event. This
Section shall survive payment of the Note and the satisfaction of all other
obligations of any Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

          2.3.8. Breakage Costs. Each Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender and to
hold Lender harmless from any loss or expense which Lender sustains or incurs as
a consequence of (i) any default by any Borrower in payment of the Loan,
including, without limitation, any loss

                                       28

<PAGE>

or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds
obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR-based loan hereunder, and (ii) any
prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the Loan on a day that is not a
Payment Date, including, without limitation, such loss or expense arising from
interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order
to maintain the Loan, unless such prepayment includes interest on the amount
being prepaid through the next Payment Date (the amounts referred to in clauses
(i) and (ii) are herein referred to collectively as the "Breakage Costs").
Whenever in this Section the term "interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders
of funds obtained by it" is used and no such funds were actually obtained from
such lenders, it shall include interest or fees which would have been payable by
Lender if it had obtained funds from lenders in order to maintain a LIBOR-based
loan hereunder. Lender will provide to Borrowers a statement detailing such
Breakage Costs and the calculation thereof.

          2.3.9. Survival. The provisions of Sections 2.3.6 through 2.3.8 shall
survive payment of the Note in full and the satisfaction of all other
obligations of any Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

          Section 2.4. Prepayments.

          2.4.1. Voluntary Prepayments. Except as otherwise provided herein, no
Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part prior to
the Lockout Date. Beginning on the Lockout Date or on any Business Day
thereafter, any Borrower may, at its option, prepay the Debt in whole, but not
in part. Any prepayment made on or after the Lockout Date shall be accompanied
by a prepayment fee (a "Prepayment Fee") equal to (i) four percent (4%) of the
outstanding principal balance if the prepayment occurs on or after the Lockout
Date but prior to the second anniversary of the Re-sizing Date or (ii) two
percent (2%) of the outstanding principal balance if the prepayment occurs on or
after the second anniversary of the Re-sizing Date. In addition, if any Borrower
prepays the Loan on any date other than a Payment Date, Borrowers shall pay to
Lender on the date of such prepayment an amount equal to the interest that would
have accrued on the Loan through the next Payment Date. As a condition to any
voluntary prepayment, each Borrower shall give Lender written notice (a
"Prepayment Notice") of its intent to prepay, which notice must be given not
later than thirty (30) days prior to the date on which such prepayment is to be
made and must specify the Business Day on which such prepayment is to be made.

          2.4.2. Mandatory Prepayments. (a) On each date on which Lender
actually receives a distribution of Net Proceeds, and if Lender does not make
such Net Proceeds available to any Borrower for a Restoration of the applicable
Property, Borrowers shall, at Lender's option, prepay the outstanding principal
balance of the Note in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net
Proceeds together with interest that would have accrued on such amounts through
the next Payment Date. The Allocated Loan Amount with respect to such Property
will be reduced in an amount equal to such prepayment. No Prepayment Fee or
Spread Maintenance Premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made
pursuant to this Section 2.4.2. Any prepayment received by Lender pursuant to
this Section 2.4.2 on a date other than a Payment Date shall be held by Lender
as collateral security for the Loan in the Net Proceeds Account, and shall be
applied by Lender on the next Payment Date.

                                       29

<PAGE>

               (b) In the event, prior to a Securitization, the equity holders
of the Parent propose a Change of Control (as defined in the Master Guaranty) to
the Parent, as a condition to such Change of Control, in connection with the
mandatory prepayment of the Mezzanine Loan as set forth in Section 2.4.2(d) of
the Mezzanine Loan, Borrowers shall prepay the entire outstanding principal
balance of the Loan together with interest that would have accrued on the
principal balance of the Mortgage Loan through the next Payment Date (in the
event the prepayment occurs on a date other than a Payment Date) plus the
Prepayment Fee.

          2.4.3. Prepayments After Default. If after an Event of Default,
payment of all or any part of the principal of the Loan is tendered by any
Borrower, a purchaser at foreclosure or any other Person, such tender shall be
deemed an attempt to circumvent the prohibition against prepayment set forth in
Section 2.4.1 and Borrowers, such purchaser at foreclosure or other Person shall
pay the Spread Maintenance Premium, in addition to the outstanding principal
balance, all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts payable under the
Loan Documents.

          Section 2.5. Extension of Loan. Borrowers shall have the option to
extend the original Maturity Date of the Loan on the same terms and conditions
in effect during the initial term, for two additional one (1) year periods
subject to satisfaction as of the Maturity Date (or, with respect to the second
one (1) year extension option, the Maturity Date as previously extended) of each
of the terms and conditions set forth in this Section. Borrowers shall give
Lender written notice of its exercise of the option to extend, not less than
sixty (60) days prior to the Maturity Date (or, with respect to the second one
(1) year extension option, the Maturity Date as previously extended). Each of
the following conditions must be satisfied prior to any extension:

               (a) No Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing under the Loan Documents;

               (b) The Debt Service Coverage Ratio as of the Maturity Date (or,
with respect to the second one (1) year extension option, the Maturity Date as
previously extended) shall be no less than one hundred and three percent (103%)
of the Debt Service Coverage Ratio as of the Closing Date.

               (c) Borrowers shall obtain and maintain throughout the extended
term an Acceptable Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a term equal to the extended
term and collaterally assign the same pursuant to a Collateral Assignment of
Interest Rate Cap;

               (d) Each Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses,
including reasonable legal fees, actually incurred by Lender or otherwise
involved in extending the Maturity Date;

               (e) Each Borrower shall execute and/or deliver to Lender any
other documentation reasonably requested by Lender, including, without
limitation, security agreements, financing statements, opinions of counsel and
title endorsements, all of which shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and
substance to Lender;

               (f) All Regulatory Permits with respect to the Properties shall
be in full force and effect; and

                                       30

<PAGE>

               (g) Borrowers shall pay the Extension Fee.

          Section 2.6 Supplemental Mortgage Affidavits. The Liens created by
each Mortgage are intended to encumber the Property described therein to the
full extent of Borrowers' obligations under the Loan Documents. As of the
Closing Date, Borrowers shall have paid all state, county and municipal
recording and all other taxes imposed upon the execution and recordation of the
Mortgages. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if at any
time Lender determines, based on Lender's estimation of market value and
applicable law, that Lender is not being afforded the maximum amount of security
available from any Property as a direct, or indirect, result of applicable taxes
not having been paid with respect to the related Mortgage, Lender may request,
and each Borrower agrees that it (i) will execute, acknowledge and deliver to
Lender, within a reasonable period of time after Lender's request, supplemental
affidavits increasing the amount of Indebtedness for which all applicable taxes
have been or are required to be paid under the related Mortgage to an amount
determined by Lender, in its reasonable discretion, to be appropriate and (ii)
will pay any and all applicable recording, intangible or similar taxes.

                   ARTICLE III. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

          Section 3.1. Borrower Representations.

whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

                                       31

<PAGE>

          3.1.3. No Conflicts. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents by each Borrower and, as applicable, each Guarantor,
and the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder will not
conflict with or violate any provision of any law, or regulation to which or
each Guarantor is subject, or conflict with, result in a breach of, or
constitute a default, including due notice or lapse of time or both, under, any
of the terms, conditions or provisions of any of any Borrower's or any
Guarantor's organizational documents or any agreement or instrument to which any
Borrower or any Guarantor is a party or by which it is bound, or any order or
decree applicable to any Borrower or any Guarantor, or result in the creation or
imposition of any lien on any of any Borrower's or any Guarantor's assets or
property (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) or otherwise materially and
adversely affect performance of its respective duties.

          3.1.4. Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding arbitration or
investigation pending or, to such Borrower's knowledge, threatened against any
Borrower, any Borrower Party, any Guarantor, Manager or any of the Properties in
any court or by or before any other Governmental Authority which could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          3.1.5. Agreements. No Borrower Party is in default with respect to any
order or decree of any court or any order, regulation or demand of any
Governmental Authority, which default might have consequences that would
materially and adversely affect the condition (financial or other) or operations
of any Borrower or any of the Properties or might have consequences that would
adversely affect its performance hereunder.

          3.1.6. Consents. No consent, approval, authorization, order or filings
of or with any court or Governmental Authority is required for the execution,
delivery and performance by any Borrower of, or compliance by any Borrower with,
this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
except those the absence of which would not have a Material Adverse Effect,
other than those which have been obtained by such Borrower; provided, however,
Borrowers will obtain within sixty (60) days (or, in the case of Medicare
provider agreements only, one hundred and eighty (180) days) of the Closing Date
the state licenses for the operation of each Property as a Nursing Facility or
Assisted Living Facility, as applicable, and the Medicare and Medicaid provider
agreements in the names of each applicable Borrower which have not been obtained
as of the Closing Date.

          3.1.7. Title. Each Fee Owner has good, marketable and insurable fee
title to the real property comprising the applicable Property and each Operator
has a valid leasehold interest to the real property comprising the applicable
Property and good title to the balance of such Property, in each case, free and
clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances. Each Mortgage,
when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any Uniform
Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection
therewith, will create (i) a valid, and enforceable first priority, perfected
Lien on the applicable Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and (ii)
valid and enforceable perfected security interests in and to, and perfected
collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the Leases), all in
accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any Permitted
Encumbrances. There are no mechanics', materialman's or other similar Liens or
claims which have been filed for work, labor or materials affecting any Property
which are or may be Liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the Lien of the
related Mortgage or for which Borrower has

                                       32

<PAGE>

not provided title insurance over such Lien. None of the Permitted Encumbrances,
individually or in the aggregate, materially interfere with the benefits of the
security intended to be provided by the Mortgages and this Agreement, materially
and adversely affect the value of the Properties, impair the intended use or
operations of the Properties or impair any Borrower's ability to pay its
obligations in a timely manner.

          3.1.8. No Plan Assets. As of the date hereof and throughout the term
of the Loan (a) no Borrower is and will be an "employee benefit plan," as
defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA, or a "plan," as
defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code, subject to Code Section 4975, (b) no
Borrower is and will be a "governmental plan" within the meaning of Section
3(32) of ERISA, (c) none of the assets of any Borrower constitutes or will
constitute "plan assets" of one or more of any such plans within the meaning of
29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, and (d) transactions by or with any Borrower are
not and will not be subject to state statutes regulating investment of, and
fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans.

          3.1.9. Compliance. Each Borrower Party and each of the Properties and
the use thereof is in substantial compliance with all applicable Legal
Requirements, including, without limitation, building and zoning ordinances and
codes. No Borrower Party is in default or violation of any order, writ,
injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority, the violation of
which might materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise)
or business of any Borrower. No Borrower Party has committed any act which may
give any Governmental Authority the right to cause any Borrower to forfeit any
of the Properties or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of any
Borrower's obligations under any of the Loan Documents.

          3.1.10. Financial Information. All financial data, including, without
limitation, the statements of cash flow and income and operating expense, that
have been delivered to Lender in respect of the Properties and each Borrower
Party (i) are true, complete and correct in all material respects, (ii)
accurately represent the financial condition of the Properties as of the date of
such reports, and (iii) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP throughout
the periods covered, except as disclosed therein. No Borrower Party has any
contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term
commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments
that are known to any Borrower and reasonably likely to have a materially
adverse effect on the Properties or the operation thereof, except as referred to
or reflected in said financial statements. Since the date of the financial
statements, there has been no material adverse change in the financial
condition, operations or business of a Borrower Party or the Properties from
that set forth in said financial statements.

          3.1.11. Condemnation. No Condemnation or other proceeding is pending
or, to such Borrower's knowledge, is threatened with respect to all or any
portion of any of the Properties or for the relocation of roadways providing
access to any of the Properties.

          3.1.12. Utilities and Public Access. Except as denoted on the
application Survey or Title Policy, each Property has adequate rights of access
to public ways and is served by utilities, including, without limitation,
adequate water, sewer, electricity, gas, telephone, sanitary sewer and storm
drain facilities. All public utilities necessary to the continued use and
enjoyment of each Property as presently used and enjoyed are located in the
public right-of-way

                                       33

<PAGE>

abutting such Property, and all such utilities are connected
so as to serve such Property without passing over other property. All roads
necessary for the full utilization of each Property for its current purpose have
been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all governmental
authorities or are the subject of access easements for the benefit of such
Property.

          3.1.13. Separate Lots. Except as denoted by the applicable Title
Policy, each Property is comprised of one (1) or more parcels which constitute
separate tax lots and do not constitute a portion of any other tax lot not a
part of the applicable Property.

          3.1.14. Assessments. There are no pending or, to Borrower's knowledge,
proposed special or other assessments for public improvements or otherwise
affecting any of the Properties, nor are there any contemplated improvements to
any of the Properties that may result in such special or other assessments.

          3.1.15. Enforceability. The Loan Documents are not subject to any
right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by any Borrower or, as
applicable, any Guarantor, including the defense of usury, nor would the
operation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or the exercise of any
right thereunder, render the Loan Documents unenforceable, and neither any
Borrower nor any Guarantor has not asserted any right of rescission, set-off,
counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.

          3.1.16. Assignment of Leases. Each Assignment of Leases creates a
valid assignment of, or a valid security interest in, certain rights under the
related Leases, subject only to a license granted to the applicable Borrower to
exercise certain rights and to perform certain obligations of the lessor under
such Leases, including the right to operate the related Property. No Person
other than Lender has any interest in or assignment of the Leases or any portion
of the Rents due and payable or to become due and payable thereunder.

          3.1.17. Insurance. Each Borrower has obtained and has delivered to
Lender original or certified copies of all of the Policies for each Property,
with all premiums prepaid thereunder, reflecting the insurance coverages,
amounts and other requirements set forth in this Agreement. Except as set forth
in Schedule IX, no claims have been made by any Borrower under any of the
Policies which remain unresolved, and no Person, including each Borrower, has
done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of any of the
Policies.

          3.1.18. Licenses. All permits, authorizations, licenses and approvals
(including, without limitation, CONs, Accreditations, Medicaid Provider
Agreements and Certifications, Medicare Participation Agreements and
Certifications and certificates of occupancy) required by any Governmental
Authority for the use, occupancy and operation of each Property in the manner in
which such Property is currently being used, occupied and operated have been
obtained, except those the absence of which would not mean a Material Adverse
Effect and are valid and in full force and effect; provided, however, Borrowers
will obtain within sixty (60) days (or in the case of Medicare provider
agreements only, one hundred eighty (180) days) of the Closing Date the state
licenses for operation of each Property as a Nursing Facility or Assisted Living
Facility, as applicable, and the Medicare and Medicaid provider agreements in
the names of the applicable Borrowers which have not been obtained as of the
Closing Date.

                                       34

<PAGE>

          3.1.19. Flood Zone. None of the Improvements on any of the Properties
are located in an area identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as
a special flood hazard area.

          3.1.20. Physical Condition. Except as set forth on the applicable
Property Condition Report, each Property, including, without limitation, all
buildings, improvements, parking facilities, sidewalks, storm drainage systems,
roofs, plumbing systems, HVAC systems, fire protection systems, electrical
systems, equipment, elevators, exterior sidings and doors, landscaping,
irrigation systems and all structural components, are in good condition, order

material defects or damages in any of the Properties, whether latent or
otherwise, and no Borrower has received notice from any insurance company or
bonding company of any defects or inadequacies in any of the Properties, or any

the same or cause the imposition of extraordinary premiums or charges thereon or
of any termination or threatened termination of any policy of insurance or bond.

          3.1.21. Boundaries. Except as denoted on the applicable Survey, all of
the improvements which were included in determining the appraised value of each

effect and there are no defaults thereunder by either party, (c) the copies of

has filed (or have obtained effective extensions for filing) all federal, state
and local tax returns required to be filed and have paid or made adequate
provision for the payment of all federal, state and local taxes, charges and
assessments payable by any Borrower and any Guarantor. Each Borrower believes
that its tax returns and those of each Guarantor properly reflect the income and
taxes of each Borrower and each Guarantor for the periods covered thereby,
subject only to reasonable adjustments required by the Internal Revenue Service
or other applicable tax authority upon audit. Each of each Borrower and each
Guarantor have paid all payroll taxes required to be paid by any such party by

transaction or any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or
defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange
for its obligations under the Loan Documents. Giving effect to the Loan, the
fair saleable value of each Borrower's assets exceeds and will, immediately
following the making of the Loan, exceed such Borrower's total liabilities,
including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and
contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of each Borrower's assets is and
will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than such
Borrower's probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent
liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Each
Borrower's assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will
not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as
conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Each Borrower does not intend to, and
does not believe that it will, incur Indebtedness and liabilities (including
contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such
Indebtedness and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and
amounts of cash to be received by such Borrower and the amounts to be payable on
or in respect of obligations of such Borrower).

          3.1.27. Federal Reserve Regulations. No part of the proceeds of the
Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing or acquiring any "margin stock"

Regulation U or any other Regulations of such Board of Governors, or for any
purposes prohibited by Legal Requirements or by the terms and conditions of this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

          3.1.28. Organizational Chart. The organizational chart attached as

meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended; or (3)
subject to any other federal or state law or regulation which purports to
restrict or regulate its ability to borrower money.

either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or
insolvency laws or the liquidation of its assets or property, and each Borrower
does not have any knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such
petition against it or any Guarantor and the Properties are not the subject of,
and each Borrower and each Guarantor are not a debtor in, any state or federal
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.

          3.1.33. Full and Accurate Disclosure. No information contained in this
Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or any written statement furnished by or on
behalf of any Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement contains any
untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary
to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of
the circumstances under which they were made. There is no fact or circumstance
presently known to any Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender and which
materially adversely affects, or is reasonably likely to materially adversely
affect, any of the Properties, any Borrower or its business, operations or
condition (financial or otherwise).

          3.1.34. Foreign Person. Each Borrower is not a "foreign person" within
the meaning of Section 1445(f)(3) of the Code.

          3.1.35. No Change in Facts or Circumstances; Disclosure. There has
been no material adverse change in any condition, fact, circumstance or event

whatsoever in any Borrower or any Guarantor, as applicable (whether directly or

Property, licensing, quality and adequacy of medical care, distribution of
pharmaceuticals, rate setting, equipment, personnel, operating policies,
additions to facilities and services and fee splitting except for any
non-compliance with any of the foregoing that could have a Material Adverse
Effect. No Borrower Party has committed any act which may give any Governmental
Authority the right to cause any Borrower to lose any applicable Regulatory
Permits the loss of which could have a Material Adverse Effect.

               (b) Regulatory Permits. All governmental licenses, permits,
regulatory agreements or other approvals or agreements necessary or desirable
for the use or operation of each Property as intended are held by the applicable
Borrower and are in full force and effect, including, without limitation,

similar certificate, license, or approval issued by the applicable state and/or
federal agency for the requisite number and type of beds (collectively, the

<PAGE>

Adverse Effect; provided, however, Borrower will obtain within sixty (60) days

     security for any loan or indebtedness other than the Loan; and

third-party payor, including, without limitation, Medicare, Medicaid, Blue Cross
and/or Blue Shield, and any other private commercial insurance managed care and
employee assistance program (collectively, the "Third Party Payor Programs") to
which any Borrower presently is subject. All Medicaid, Medicare, and private
insurance cost reports and financial reports submitted by any Borrower Party are
and will be materially accurate and complete and have not been and will not be
misleading in any material respects. No cost reports or financial reports for
any Property remain "open" or unsettled except for those reports that remain
open for the current period.

               (f) Governmental Proceedings and Notices. Except as described on
the attached Schedule XIII, no Borrower Party and no Property is currently the
subject of any proceeding by any Governmental Authority, and no notice of any
violation or subpoena or inquiry of any nature has been received from a
Governmental Authority that would, directly or indirectly, or with the passage
of time:

                         (i) have a material adverse impact on any Borrower's
     ability to accept and/or retain patients or result in the imposition of a
     fine, a sanction, an

                                       39

<PAGE>

building codes, fire codes, life safety codes, health care, nursing facility and
other similar regulatory requirements, including, without limitation,

waivers of the Physical Plant Standards exist at such Property.

               (h) Past Violations. Except as set forth on the attached Schedule

Governmental Authority during the last three (3) calendar years or during the
last survey cycle against any Property, against any Borrower Party, or against

Party which enforcement action could have a Material Adverse Effect. There have
been no violations over the past three (3) years that have threatened any
Property's or any Borrower's certification for participation in any Medicare,
Medicaid or other Third Party Payor Programs. No Borrower Party has been the
subject of a "double G" determination for the last three (3) calendar years or
since January 14, 2000, whichever date is later.

               (i) Audits. Except as set forth on the attached Schedule XI,

Properties and (y) could have a Material Adverse Effect.

               (j) Recoupment. There are no current or pending recoupment
efforts regarding Medicaid, Medicare or other Third Party Payor Programs at (or
with respect to) any Property that (x) are not applicable in the ordinary course
to Nursing Facilities or Assisted Living Facilities, as applicable, comparable

participant in any federal program whereby any Governmental Authority may have
the right to recover funds by reason of the advance of federal funds.

               (k) Pledges of Receivables. No Borrower Party has pledged its
receivables or any Rents as collateral security for any outstanding loan or
indebtedness other than the Loan.

               (l) Patient Care Agreements. There are no patient or resident

               (n) Reimbursement Contracts. All Reimbursement Contracts
applicable to any Borrower Party or any Property are in good standing with all
applicable Governmental Authorities, Regulatory Permits, Medicare Certifications
and/or Medicaid Certifications. Each Borrower Party is current in the payment of
all so-called provider specific taxes, bed taxes or other assessments with
respect to any Reimbursement Contracts.

               (o) Licensed Beds. The number and category of licensed beds at
each Property is as set forth on Schedule III attached hereto. Except as set
forth in Schedule XII, no waivers of any laws, rules, regulations or
requirements (including, without limitation minimum square foot requirements per
bed) are required for each Property to operate at the licensed bed capacities
listed on Schedule III and to operate in substantial compliance with applicable
Legal Requirements. No Borrower Party has been granted nor has any Borrower
Party requested the right, to reduce the number of licensed beds at any
Property. No Borrower Party has applied for approval to move any and all of the
licensed beds at any Property to any other location.

               (p) Intentionally deleted.

contingent indemnity obligations that survive repayment), each Borrower hereby
covenants and agrees with Lender that:

          4.1.1. Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements. Each Borrower
shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in
full force and effect its existence, rights, licenses, permits and franchises

applicable to it and the Properties.

          4.1.2. Taxes and Other Charges. Each Borrower shall pay all Taxes and
Other Charges and payroll taxes now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed

                                       41

<PAGE>

or any part thereof or any Borrower as the same become due and payable;
provided, however, each Borrower's obligation to directly pay Taxes shall be
suspended for so long as such Borrower complies with the terms and provisions of
Section 6.3 hereof and there are adequate funds in the Tax and Insurance Escrow
Account. Each Borrower shall furnish to Lender receipts for the payment of the
Taxes and the Other Charges prior to the date the same shall become delinquent;
provided, however, that each Borrower is not required to furnish such receipts
for payment of Taxes in the event that such Taxes have been paid by Lender
pursuant to Section 6.3 hereof. Each Borrower shall not permit or suffer and
shall promptly discharge any liens or charges against the Properties, except
Permitted Encumbrances. After prior notice to Lender, each Borrower, at its own
expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, conducted in good faith

connection therewith; (v) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of Taxes
or Other Charges from the applicable Property; and (vi) upon request of Lender,
each Borrower shall deposit with Lender cash, or other security as may be
approved by Lender, in an amount equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%)
of the contested amount, to insure the payment of any such Taxes or Other
Charges, together with all interest and penalties thereon. Lender may pay over
any such cash or other security held by Lender to the claimant entitled thereto
at any time when, in the judgment of Lender, the entitlement of such claimant is
established.

          4.1.3. Litigation. Each Borrower shall give prompt notice to Lender of
any litigation or governmental proceedings pending or threatened against any
Borrower which might materially adversely affect any of the Properties or any
Borrower's ability to perform its obligations hereunder or under the other Loan
Documents.

          4.1.4. Access to Properties. Each Borrower shall permit agents,
representatives and employees of Lender to inspect each Property or any part
thereof at reasonable hours upon reasonable advance written notice. Lender shall
not unreasonably interfere with any Borrowers' business operations during such
inspection.

          4.1.5. Further Assurances. Each Borrower shall, at such Borrower's
sole cost and expense, from time to time as reasonably requested by Lender,
execute, acknowledge, record, register, file and/or deliver to Lender such other
instruments, agreements, certificates and documents (including UCC financing
statements and amended or replacement mortgages) as Lender may reasonably
request to evidence, confirm, perfect and maintain the liens securing or
intended to secure the obligations of any Borrower under the Loan Documents or
to facilitate a replacement of the Cash Management Bank or Collection Account
Bank if requested by Lender, and do and execute all such further lawful and
reasonable acts, conveyances and assurances for the better and more effective
carrying out of the intents and purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents as Lender shall reasonably require from time to time. Each Borrower

acknowledge, record, register and/or file such instruments, agreements,
certificates and documents, and to do and

                                       42

<PAGE>

execute such acts, conveyances and assurances, should any Borrower fail to do so
itself in violation of this Agreement following written request from Lender, in
each case without the signature of any Borrower. The foregoing grant of
authority is a power of attorney coupled with an interest and such appointment
shall be irrevocable for the term of this Agreement. Each Borrower hereby
ratifies all actions that such attorney shall lawfully take or cause to be taken
in accordance with this Section.

          4.1.6. Financial Reporting.

               (a) Each Borrower shall keep and maintain or will cause to be
kept and maintained proper and accurate books and records, in accordance with
GAAP in all material respects, reflecting the financial affairs of each
Borrower. Lender shall have the right from time to time during normal business
hours upon reasonable notice to the applicable Borrower to examine such books
and records at the office of such Borrower or other Person maintaining such
books and records and to make such copies or extracts thereof as Lender shall
desire.

               (b) As soon as available, and in any event within one hundred
twenty (120) days after the close of each Fiscal Year, each Borrower shall
furnish to Lender, in hard copy and electronic format and presented on a
consolidated as well as a property-by-property basis, financial statements
prepared for such year with respect to Borrowers, including a balance sheet and
operating statement as of the end of such year, together with related statements
of income and members' or partners' capital for such Fiscal Year, audited by a
"Big Four" accounting firm or a nationally recognized, independent certified
public accounting firm reasonably satisfactory to Lender whose opinion shall be
to the effect that such financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with GAAP applied on a consistent basis and shall not be qualified as to the
scope of the audit or as to the status of each Borrower as a going concern.
Together with each Borrower's annual financial statements, such Borrower shall
furnish to Lender an Officer's Certificate certifying as of the date thereof
whether to the best of such Borrower's knowledge there exists an event or
circumstance which constitutes a Default or Event of Default by any Borrower
under the Loan Documents and if such Default or Event of Default exists, the
nature thereof, the period of time it has existed and the action then being
taken to remedy the same. Together with each Borrower's annual financial
statements, such Borrower shall furnish to Lender, in hard copy and electronic
format:

                    (i) a statement of cash flows for each Property; and

                    (ii) such other information as Lender shall reasonably
     request.

               (c) As soon as available, and in any event within forty-five (45)
days after the end of each fiscal quarter (based on Borrrower's Fiscal Year),
each Borrower shall furnish to Lender, in hard copy and electronic format and
presented on a consolidated as well as a property-by-property basis, quarterly
and year-to-date unaudited financial statements prepared for such fiscal quarter
with respect to Borrowers, including a balance sheet and operating statement as

changes resulting from audit and normal year-end audit adjustments and (ii) an
Officer's Certificate certifying as of the date thereof whether to the best of
such Borrower's knowledge there exists an event or circumstance which
constitutes a Default or Event of Default by any Borrower under the Loan
Documents and if such Default or Event of Default exists, the nature thereof,
the period of time it has existed and the action then being taken to remedy the
same. Each such quarterly statement shall show the separate operations of each
Property, including, without limitation, (1) a breakdown of Patient Revenues and
other revenues itemized by payor type and a reasonably detailed breakdown of
operating expenses and (2) patient census by payor type. Each such quarterly
report shall be accompanied by the following, in hard copy and electronic

     secured by property similar to the Properties and with similar ratings as
     the Loan in the commercial mortgage-backed securities market; and

                    (xii) such other reasonable insurance and in such reasonable
     amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such

     the region in which the Properties are located including, without
     limitation, sinkhole, mine subsidence and environmental insurance, due

Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies
theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance evidencing the
Policies accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the
premiums then due thereunder (the "Insurance Premiums"), shall be delivered by
Borrowers to Lender. Borrowers shall deliver certified copies of the Policies to
Lender within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date and thereafter upon request.
All Policies must have a term of not less than one (1) year.

               (c) Intentionally deleted.

               (d) All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by
Section 5.1.1(a), except for the Policy referenced in Section 5.1.1(a)(v), shall
name each applicable Borrower as the insured and Lender and its successors
and/or assigns as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in
the case of property damage, terrorism insurance, boiler and machinery, flood
and earthquake insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard
non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss
thereunder shall be payable to Lender.

               (e) All Policies of insurance provided for in Section 5.1.1(a)
shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:

                    (i) no act or negligence of any Borrower, or anyone acting
     for any Borrower, or of any tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply
     with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a
     forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect
     the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is
     concerned;

                    (ii) the Policy shall not be materially changed (other than
     to increase the coverage provided thereby) or canceled without at least
     thirty (30) days' written notice to Lender and any other party named
     therein as an additional insured;

                    (iii) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums

                                       55

<PAGE>

                    (iv) to the extent available at commercially reasonable
     rates, a waiver of subrogation rights as to Lender.

               (f) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence
that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall
have the right, without notice to any Borrower, to take such action as Lender
deems necessary to protect its interest in the Properties, including, without
limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole
discretion deems appropriate and all premiums incurred by Lender in connection
with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall
be paid by Borrowers to Lender upon demand and until paid shall be secured by
the Mortgages and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

               (g) In the event of foreclosure of any Mortgage or other transfer
of title to any Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all
right, title and interest the applicable Borrower in and to the Policies that
are not blanket Policies then in force concerning the Properties and all
proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such
foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of
title.

          5.1.2. Insurance Company. The Policies shall be issued by one or more
domestic primary insurance companies, duly qualified in the jurisdiction where
the Properties are located and rated A: VII or better by A.M. Best and having a
claims-paying ability of at least "AA" or its equivalent by each of the Rating
Agencies, or by a syndicate of insurers through which at least seventy-five
percent (75%) of the coverage (if there are four (4) or fewer members of the
syndicate) or at least sixty percent (60%) of the coverage (if there are five
(5) or more members of the syndicate) is with carriers having such claims-paying
ability ratings (provided that all such carriers shall have claims-paying
ability ratings of not less than "A" or the equivalent by each of the Rating
Agencies).

          Section 5.2 Casualty and Condemnation.

          5.2.1. Casualty. If a Property shall sustain a Casualty, each Borrower
shall give prompt notice of such Casualty to Lender (provided that notice shall
not need to be required for a Casualty which causes less than $50,000 worth of
damage to a Property) and, provided Lender permits the applicable Borrower to
utilize the Net Proceeds, if any, for any such Restoration, shall promptly
commence and diligently prosecute to completion the repair and restoration of
any Property as nearly as possible to the condition such Property was in
immediately prior to such Casualty (a "Restoration") and otherwise in accordance
with Section 5.3. Borrowers shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or
not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated
to, make proof of loss if not made promptly by any Borrower. In the event of a
Casualty where the loss does not exceed the Restoration Threshold, a Borrower
may settle and adjust such claim; provided that (a) no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing and (b) such adjustment is carried out in a
commercially reasonable and timely manner. In the event of a Casualty where the
loss exceeds the Restoration Threshold or if an Event of Default then exists, a
Borrower may settle and adjust such claim only with the consent of Lender (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and Lender shall have the
opportunity to participate, at Borrowers' cost, in any such adjustments.
Notwithstanding any

                                       56

<PAGE>

Casualty, each Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the
manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement.

          5.2.2. Condemnation. Each Borrower shall give Lender prompt notice of
any actual or threatened Condemnation by any Governmental Authority of all or
any part of any Property (provided that notice shall not be required for a
Condemnation which could result in less than $50,000 in Condemnation Proceeds)
and shall deliver to Lender a copy of any and all papers served in connection
with such proceedings. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, in the event of a Condemnation where the amount of the taking does
not exceed the Restoration Threshold, a Borrower may settle and compromise such
Condemnation; provided that the same is effected in a commercially reasonable
and timely manner. In the event a Condemnation where the amount of the taking
exceeds the Restoration Threshold or if an Event of Default then exists, a
Borrower may settle and compromise the Condemnation only with the consent of
Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and Lender
shall have the opportunity to participate, at Borrowers' cost, in any litigation
and settlement discussions in respect thereof and each Borrower shall from time
to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by Lender to permit such
participation. Each Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any
such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and
cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings.
Notwithstanding any Condemnation, each Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt
at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this
Agreement. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by any
Governmental Authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award
interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If any Property or
any portion thereof is taken by any Governmental Authority and provided Lender
permits the applicable Borrowers to utilize the Net Proceeds, if any, for the
Restoration of the applicable Property, each Borrower shall promptly commence
and diligently prosecute the Restoration of such Property and otherwise comply
with the provisions of Section 5.3. If such Property is sold, through
foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender
shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall
have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion
thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.

          Section 5.3 Delivery of Net Proceeds.

          5.3.1. Minor Casualty or Condemnation. If a Casualty or Condemnation
has occurred to a Property and the Net Proceeds shall be less than the
Restoration Threshold and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less
than the Restoration Threshold, and provided no Event of Default shall have
occurred and remain uncured, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to the
applicable Borrower. Promptly after receipt of the Net Proceeds, such Borrower
shall commence and satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If any Net Proceeds are received by
any Borrower and may be retained by such Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof,
such Net Proceeds shall, until completion of the Restoration, be held in trust
for Lender and shall be segregated from other funds of such Borrower to be used
to pay for the cost of Restoration in accordance with the terms hereof.

          5.3.2. Major Casualty or Condemnation.

               (a) If a Casualty or Condemnation has occurred to a Property and
the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold or the
costs of completing the Restoration is equal to or greater than the Restoration
Threshold, Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration,
provided that each of the following conditions are met:

                    (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
     continuing;

                    (ii) (A) in the event the Net Proceeds are insurance
     proceeds, less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the total floor area of
     the Improvements at the applicable Property has been damaged, destroyed or
     rendered unusable as a result of such Casualty or (B) in the event the Net
     Proceeds are an Award, less than ten percent (10%) of the land constituting
     applicable Property is taken, and such land is located along the perimeter
     or periphery of the Property, and no portion of the Improvements is the
     subject of the Condemnation;

                    (iii) (A) in the event of a Casualty, the Casualty resulted
     in an actual or constructive loss of less than twenty-five percent (25%) of
     the fair market value of the applicable Property or (B) in the event of a
     Condemnation, the Condemnation resulted in an actual or constructive loss
     of less than ten percent (10%) of the fair market value of the applicable
     Property.

                    (iv) Intentionally Omitted.

                    (v) The applicable Borrower shall commence the Restoration
     as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than sixty (60)
     days after such Casualty or Condemnation or such longer period, not to
     exceed 120 days, as is reasonably necessary to adjust the claim or receive
     the award; provided, however, with respect to each Property the use of
     which is a legal non-conforming use under applicable Legal Requirements,
     the Restoration shall be commenced within such period as required by such
     Legal Requirements to maintain such status) and shall diligently pursue the
     same to satisfactory completion and in any event, as to each Property the
     use of which is a legal non-conforming use under applicable Legal
     Requirements, within such period as required by such Legal Requirements to
     maintain such status;

                    (vi) Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits
     and all payments of principal and interest under the Note will be paid
     during the period required for Restoration from (A) the Net Proceeds, or
     (B) other funds of the applicable Borrower;

                    (vii) Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be
     completed on or before the earliest to occur of (A) the date six (6) months
     prior to the Maturity Date, (B) such time as may be required under
     applicable Legal Requirements in order to repair and restore the applicable
     Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such Casualty or
     to as nearly as possible the condition it was in immediately prior

                                       58

<PAGE>

     to such Condemnation, as applicable or (C) the expiration of the insurance
     coverage referred to in Section 5.1.1(a)(iii);

                    (viii) Lender shall be satisfied that after the Restoration,
     the fair market value of the applicable Property will be at least equal to
     the fair market value of such Property prior to the Casualty or
     Condemnation;

                    (ix) the applicable Property and the use thereof after the
     Restoration will be in substantial compliance with and permitted under all
     applicable Legal Requirements;

                    (x) the Restoration shall be done and completed by the
     applicable Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in
     substantial compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements; and

                    (xi) such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not
     result in the loss of access to the applicable Property or the related
     Improvements.

               (b) The Net Proceeds shall be paid directly to Lender and held by
Lender in the Net Proceeds Account, and until disbursed in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 5.3.2, shall constitute additional security for the
Debt. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, the
applicable Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon
receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all requirements set forth
in Section 5.3.2(a) have been satisfied, (B) all materials installed and work
and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of
the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid
for in full, and (C) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic's
or materialman's liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens
or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the applicable Property arising out
of the Restoration which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction
of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the
reasonable satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title
Insurance Policy.

               (c) All plans and specifications required in connection with the
Restoration shall be subject to prior approval of Lender and an independent
architect selected by Lender (the "Casualty Consultant"). The plans and
specifications shall require that the Restoration be completed in a first-class
workmanlike manner at least equivalent to the quality and character of the
original work in the Improvements (provided, however, that in the case of a
partial Condemnation, the Restoration shall be done to the extent reasonably
practical after taking into account the consequences of such partial
Condemnation), so that upon completion thereof, the applicable Property is
restored to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character
as prior to the Casualty. The applicable Borrower shall restore all Improvements
such that when they are fully restored and/or repaired, such Improvements and
their contemplated use substantially comply with all applicable material Legal
Requirements. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen
engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been
engaged, shall be subject to reasonable approval of Lender and the Casualty
Consultant. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with
recovering, holding and advancing the Net Proceeds for the Restoration
including, without

                                       59

<PAGE>

limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements and the Casualty
Consultant's fees and disbursements, shall be paid by Borrowers.

               (d) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements
of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred
from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by
the Casualty Consultant, less the Casualty Retainage. The term "Casualty
Retainage" shall mean, as to each contractor, subcontractor or materialman
engaged in the Restoration, an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs
actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by
the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty
Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth above in this Section 5.3.2(d), be less than the amount actually held back
by the applicable Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen
engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until
the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been
completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.3.2(d) and that
all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the applicable Property
have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender
receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have
been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage;
provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty
Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or
materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty
Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman
has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in
accordance with the provisions of the contractor's, subcontractor's or
materialman's contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers
the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the
contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by
Lender or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and Lender
receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued
priority of the lien of the related Mortgage and evidence of payment of any
premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any
such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company,
if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the
contractor, subcontractor or materialman.

               (e) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the
Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.

               (f) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance
thereof shall not, in the opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty
Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are
reasonably estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection
with the completion of the Restoration, Borrowers shall deposit the deficiency
(the "Net Proceeds Deficiency") with Lender before any further disbursement of
the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with
Lender shall be held by Lender in the Net Proceeds Account and shall be
disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the
same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so
disbursed pursuant to this Section 5.3.2 shall constitute additional security
for the Debt.

                                       60

<PAGE>

               (g) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining
balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the
Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed
in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.3.2, and the receipt by
Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection
with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to the
applicable Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall
be continuing under any of the Loan Documents.

               (h) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for
the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to a Borrower as excess Net Proceeds
pursuant to Section 5.3.2(g) may be retained and applied by Lender toward the
payment of the Debt, whether or not then due and payable, in such order,
priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper
without any Prepayment Fee or Spread Maintenance Premium, or, at the discretion
of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to a Borrower for
such purposes as Lender shall designate.

the right to withdraw funds from the Cash Management Account. The fees and
expenses of the Cash Management Bank shall be paid by Borrower. On or prior to
the Closing Date, the Borrowers shall establish and thereafter maintain with the
Collection Account Bank a lockbox account (the "Collection Account"). As a
conditon precedent to the closing of the Loan, Borrowers shall cause the
Collection Account Bank to execute and deliver the Collection Account Agreement,
which provides, inter alia, that no party other than Lender and Servicer shall
have the right to withdraw funds from the Collection Account. The fees and
expenses of the Collection Account Bank shall be paid by the Borrowers.

               (b) On the Closing Date, each Borrower shall deliver a written
notice (a "Payor Notice") in the form of Exhibit A to each Third Party Payor
that is under Medicare and Medicaid, which notice shall provide that (A) all
payments from such Third Party Payor shall thereafter be transmitted directly by
it to, and deposited directly into, the Collection Account and (B) such
instruction may not be rescinded unless and until such Third Party Payor
receives from a Borrower or Lender a copy of Lender's written consent to such
rescission. Each Borrower shall send a copy of each such written notice to
Lender and shall re-deliver such notices to each Third Party Payor until such
time as such Third Party Payor complies therewith. Each Borrower covenants to
cause all Rents relating to the Properties and all other money received by each
Borrower or Manager with respect to the Properties, including, but not limited
to, payments from all other Third Party Payors excluding Medicare and Medicaid
("Private Third Party Payors") and Self-Pay Receivables to be deposited in the
Collection Account by the end of the first (1st) Business Day following any
Borrower's or Manager's receipt thereof; and each Borrower shall

                                       61

be permitted to deposit in the Collection Account such additional amounts as any
Borrower may elect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge and
agree that with respect to each Property, the payments from the Private Third
Party Payors and the Self-Pay Receivables constituting checks will be remitted
by each Borrower once such Borrower has accumulated $1,000.00 worth of such
checks by overnight delivery to Manager. Manager shall hold such checks in trust
and will deposit such checks within one (1) Business Day of receipt thereof into
the Collection Account.

               (c) Lender shall have the right to replace the Cash Management
Bank or request the Borrower to replace the Collection Account Bank with any
other Eligible Institution in which Eligible Accounts may be maintained which
will promptly execute and deliver to Lender a Cash Management Agreement or
Collection Account Agreement, (and each Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in
connection with such transfer) in the event that (i) at any time the Cash
Management Bank or the Collection Account Bank ceases to be an Eligible
Institution or (ii) the Cash Management Bank or the Collection Account Bank
resigns or otherwise fails to comply with the Cash Management Agreement, as
applicable or (iii) there is a default by the Cash Management Bank or the
Collection Account Bank, as applicable under its Cash Management Agreement or
Collection Account Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have
the right to hold the Collateral Accounts at any other Eligible Institution.

          Section 6.2. Distributions From Cash Management Account.

               (a) At the end of each Business Day, the Collection Account Bank
shall remit all available funds in the Collection Account to the Cash Management
Account.

               (b) On each Business Day, provided no Event of Default has
occurred and no Cash Management Period or Mezzanine Cash Management Period
exists, the Cash Management Bank shall withdraw all available funds in the Cash
Management Account and shall disburse such funds in the following order of
priority until such time as the maximum amount required to be deposited in each
Collateral Account has been so deposited:

                    (i) intentionally deleted;

     required to be deposited therein pursuant to Section 6.3;

     required to be deposited therein pursuant to Section 6.6; and

                    (v) any remaining amounts to the Mezzanine Cash Management
     Account; provided, however, if the Mezzanine Loan shall have been paid in
     full, any remaining amounts shall be disbursed to such account as the
     applicable Borrower may direct.

                                       62

               (c) If a Cash Management Period or Mezzanine Cash Management
Period exists but no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Cash
Management Bank shall withdraw on each Business Day all available funds in the
Cash Management Account and shall disburse such funds in the following order of

Collateral Account has been so deposited:

                    (i) intentionally deleted;

                    (ii) to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account, the amount
     required to be deposited therein pursuant to Section 6.3;

                    (vi) any remaining amounts to be disbursed as follows:

                    (1) if no Cash Management Period exists and the Mezzanine
                    Loan is outstanding, to the Mezzanine Cash Management
                    Account;

                    (2) if a Cash Management Period exists and the Mezzanine
                    Loan is outstanding, to the Mezzanine Cash Management
                    Account in an amount equal to the Mezzanine Debt Service due
                    on the next Mezzanine Payment Date, with any amounts in
                    excess thereof, to the Excess Cash Reserve Account; or

                    (3) if a Cash Management Period exists and the Mezzanine
                    Loan is not outstanding, all remaining amounts to the Excess
                    Cash Reserve Account.

               (d) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender
shall promptly notify Cash Management Bank of such Event of Default and Lender
may, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for under the Loan
Documents, disburse and apply the amounts in the Cash Management Account toward
the payment of the Debt and/or toward the payment of Basic Carrying Costs,
Operating Expenses or Capital Expenditures, in such sequence as Lender shall
elect in its sole discretion.

               (e) If on any Payment Date, any Collateral Account has not been
fully funded in the applicable amount described in Section 6.2(b) or Section
6.2(c), as applicable, Borrowers shall deposit into the Cash Management Account
on such Payment Date the amount of such deficiency. If Borrowers shall fail to
make such deposit, the same shall constitute an

                                       63

<PAGE>

Event of Default and, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for
under the Loan Documents, Lender may disburse and apply the amounts in the Cash
Management Account toward the payment of the Debt and/or toward the payment of
Basic Carrying Costs, Operating Expenses or Capital Expenditures, in such
sequence as Lender shall elect in its sole discretion.

          Section 6.3. Tax and Insurance Escrow Account.

               (a) On or prior to the Closing Date, Borrowers shall establish
and thereafter maintain with the Cash Management Bank an account for the purpose
of reserving amounts payable by any Borrower in respect of Taxes and Insurance
Premiums for each Property (the "Tax and Insurance Escrow Account").

               (b) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Tax and Insurance Escrow
Account shall be funded in an amount equal to the sum of (i) an amount
sufficient to pay all Taxes for the Properties by the thirtieth (30th) day prior

of one-twelfth (1/12th) of projected annual Taxes, plus (ii) an amount
sufficient to pay all Insurance Premiums for the Properties by the thirtieth
(30th) day prior to the date they come due, assuming subsequent monthly fundings
on Payment Dates of one-twelfth (1/12th) of projected Insurance Premiums.

               (c) On each subsequent Business Day during an Interest Accrual
Period, the Cash Management Bank shall withdraw all available funds in the Cash
Management Account and shall disburse such funds into the Tax and Insurance
Escrow Account in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 6.2 until
an amount equal to the sum of:

                    (A) one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Taxes for the Properties
     that Lender reasonably estimates, based on information provided by
     Borrowers, will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months, plus

                    (B) one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Insurance Premiums for the
     Properties that Lender reasonably estimates, based on information provided

that if at any time Lender reasonably determines that the amount in the Tax and
Insurance Escrow Account will not be sufficient to accumulate (upon payment of
subsequent monthly amounts in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement)
the full amount of all installments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums for the
Properties by the date on which such amounts come due, then Lender shall notify
Borrowers of such determination and Borrowers shall increase the monthly
payments to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account by the amount that Lender
reasonably estimates is sufficient to achieve such accumulation.

               (d) Each Borrower shall provide Lender with copies of all tax and
insurance bills relating to each Property promptly after the applicable
Borrower's receipt thereof. Lender will apply amounts in the Tax and Insurance
Escrow Account toward the purposes for which such amounts are deposited therein.
In connection with the making of any payment from the Tax and Insurance Escrow
Account, Lender may cause such payment to be made according to any bill,
statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or insurance
carrier,

                                       64

due and payable under the Loan Documents on the next Payment Date has been

prepayments of the Debt in an Interest Accrual Period on a date other than a
Payment Date, the total amount of such prepayment shall be deposited into the
Debt Service Account, together with all other sums payable with respect to such
prepayment including, but not limited to, any Prepayment Fee and all interest
that would have accrued from the date of such prepayment through the applicable
Payment Date. Any Net Proceeds actually received by Lender shall be deposited
directly into the Net Proceeds Account pursuant to Section 6.8 hereof.

          Section 6.5. Operating Expense Reserve Account.

               (a) On or prior to the Closing Date, Borrowers shall establish

Event of Default has occurred, Lender shall remit to such Borrower from the
Operating Expense Reserve Account amounts to permit such Borrower to pay (or to
reimburse such Borrower) for Operating Expenses incurred by such Borrower in
connection with any of the Properties, provided that:

                    (i) Such Borrower shall deliver to Lender invoices
     evidencing that the costs for which such disbursements are requested are

                                       65

<PAGE>

                    (ii) Such Borrower shall deliver to Lender an Officer's
     Certificate confirming that all such costs are within the limits of the
     Annual Budget and all such costs have been previously paid by such Borrower

     applied any amounts previously received by it in accordance with this
     Section for the expenses to which specific draws made hereunder relate.

          Section 6.6. Capital Expenditure Reserve Account.

               (a) On or prior to the Closing Date, Borrowers shall establish

all available funds in the Cash Management Account and shall disburse such funds
into the Capital Expenditure Reserve Account in accordance with the provisions
set forth in Section 6.2 until an amount equal to the Monthly Capital
Expenditure Reserve Amount has been deposited therein.

               (c) Upon the request of any Borrower at any time (but not more
often than once per calendar month), provided no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, Lender shall remit to such Borrower from the Capital
Expenditure Reserve Account amounts to permit such Borrower to pay (or to
reimburse such Borrower) for Capital Expenditures made in accordance herewith;
provided that:

                    (i) Such Borrower shall deliver to Lender invoices
     evidencing that the costs for which such disbursements are requested are
     due and payable;

                    (ii) Such Borrower shall deliver to Lender an Officer's
     Certificate confirming that all such costs have been previously paid by
     such Borrower or will be paid from the proceeds of the requested

     Section for the expenses to which specific draws made hereunder relate, (2)
     a reasonably satisfactory site inspection, and (3) receipt of lien releases
     and waivers from any contractors, subcontractors and others in connection

amounts anticipated to be required to correct Deferred Maintenance Conditions

Loan, an amount equal to the Deferred Maintenance Amount.

               (c) Borrowers shall correct the Deferred Maintenance Conditions
in a diligent, workmanlike manner and shall complete the same within twelve (12)
months of the Closing Date. Upon the request of a Borrower at any time (but not

occurred and is continuing, Lender shall disburse to such Borrower from the
Deferred Maintenance and Environmental Escrow Account amounts to permit such
Borrower to pay (or to reimburse such Borrower) for reasonable costs and
expenses incurred in order to correct Deferred Maintenance Conditions; provided
that:

                    (i) Such Borrower shall deliver to Lender invoices

          Section 6.10. Intentionally deleted.

          Section 6.11. Account Collateral.

               (a) Each Borrower hereby grants a perfected first-priority
security interest in favor of Lender in and to the Account Collateral (other
than the Collection Account) as security for the Debt, together with all rights
of a secured party with respect thereto. Each Collateral Account shall be an
Eligible Account under the sole dominion and control of Lender and shall be in
the name of Borrowers, as pledgors, and Lender, as pledgee. Each Borrower shall
have no right to make withdrawals from any of the Collateral Accounts. Funds in
the Collateral Accounts shall not be commingled with any other monies at any
time. Each Borrower shall execute any additional documents that Lender in its
reasonable discretion may require and shall provide all other evidence
reasonably requested by Lender to evidence or perfect its first-priority
security interest in the Account Collateral (other than the Collection Account).

               (b) The insufficiency of amounts contained in the Collateral
Accounts shall not relieve any Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all
covenants contained in the Loan Documents.

               (c) During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, in
its sole discretion, apply funds in the Collateral Accounts, and funds resulting
from the liquidation of Permitted Investments contained in the Collateral
Accounts, toward the payment of the Debt and/or toward the payment of Basic
Carrying Costs, Operating Expenses or Capital Expenditures in such sequence as
Lender shall elect in its sole discretion.

          Section 6.12. Permitted Investments.

               (a) So long as no Event of Default shall be continuing, Borrowers
shall be permitted to direct the investment of the funds from time to time held
in the Collateral Accounts (other than the Collection Account) in Permitted
Investments and to sell or liquidate such Permitted Investments and reinvest
proceeds from such sale or liquidation in other Permitted Investments (but
Lender shall have no liability whatsoever in respect of any failure by the Cash
Management Bank to do so), with all such proceeds and reinvestments to be held
in the applicable Collateral Account; provided, however, that the maturity of an
adequate portion of the Permitted Investments on deposit in the Collateral
Accounts shall be no later than the Business

                                       68

<PAGE>

Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be
withdrawn therefrom pursuant to this Agreement, and provided further that
Borrowers shall remit into the applicable Collateral Account an amount equal to
any losses realized on Permitted Investments contained therein within five (5)
Business Days of the date of such loss. Funds in the Collection Account shall
not be invested. No Permitted Investment shall be liquidated at a loss at the
direction of any Borrower except to the extent necessary to make a required
payment to Lender on a Payment Date.

               (b) All income and gains from the investment of funds in the
Collateral Accounts shall be retained in the Collateral Accounts from which they
were derived. As between Borrowers and Lender, Borrowers shall treat all income,
gains and losses from the investment of amounts in the Collateral Accounts as
its income or loss for federal, state and local income tax purposes.

               (c) After the Debt has been paid in full, the Collateral Accounts
shall be closed and the balances therein, if any, shall be paid to Borrowers.

          Section 6.13. Bankruptcy.

          Each Borrower and Lender acknowledge and agree that upon the filing of
a bankruptcy petition by or against any Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code, the
Account Collateral and the Operating Income (whether then already in the
Collateral Accounts, or then due or becoming due thereafter) shall be deemed not
to be property of such Borrower's bankruptcy estate within the meaning of
Section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code. However, if a court of competent
jurisdiction determines that, notwithstanding the foregoing characterization of
the Account Collateral and the Operating Income by any Borrower and Lender, the
Account Collateral and/or the Operating Income do constitute property of such
Borrower's bankruptcy estate, then Borrowers and Lender further acknowledge and
agree that all such Operating Income, whether due and payable before or after
the filing of the petition, are and shall be cash collateral of Lender. Each
Borrower acknowledges that Lender does not consent to any Borrower's use of such
cash collateral and that, in the event Lender elects (in its sole discretion) to
give such consent, such consent shall only be effective if given in writing
signed by Lender. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, each
Borrower shall not have the right to use or apply or require the use or
application of such cash collateral (i) unless the applicable Borrower shall
have received a court order authorizing the use of the same, and (ii) the
applicable Borrower shall have provided such adequate protection to Lender as
shall be required by the bankruptcy court in accordance with the Bankruptcy
Code.

          SECTION 6.14. Letters of Credit.

               (a) In lieu of making the payments to any of the Collateral
Accounts (other than the Debt Service, Operating Expense Reserve Account or
Excess Cash Reserve Account), Borrowers may deliver to Lender a Letter of Credit
in accordance with the provisions of this Section. Additionally, Borrowers may
deliver to Lender a Letter of Credit in accordance with the provisions of this
Section in lieu of deposits previously made to the Collateral Accounts (other
than the Debt Service, Operating Expense Reserve Account or Excess Cash Reserve
Account). The aggregate amount of any Letter of Credit and cash on deposit with
respect to any

                                       69

<PAGE>

of such Collateral Accounts shall at all times be at least equal to the
aggregate amount which each Borrower is required to have on deposit in such
Collateral Account pursuant to this Agreement through the end of the calendar
year in which the Letter of Credit is delivered, as reasonably estimated by
Lender (and in the case of Taxes and Insurance Premiums in no event less than an
amount equal to one year of Insurance Premiums and estimated Taxes for the
Properties). In determining the aggregate amount of any Letter of Credit and
cash required to be delivered to Lender in respect of the Capital Expenditure
Reserve Account, such aggregate amounts shall equal all amounts required to be
deposited hereunder through the end of the calendar year in which the Letter of
Credit is delivered, less amounts expended by any Borrower for Capital
Expenditures for which any Borrower has satisfied the conditions to withdrawal
from the Capital Expenditure Reserve Account. In the event that a Letter of
Credit is delivered in lieu of any deposits to the Tax and Insurance Reserve
Account, Borrowers shall be responsible for the payment of Taxes or Insurance
Premiums for the Properties, as applicable, and Lender shall not be responsible
therefor.

               (b) Borrowers shall give Lender no less than thirty (30) days
notice of a Borrower's election to deliver a Letter of Credit and Borrowers
shall pay to Lender all of Lender's reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses
in connection therewith. Each Borrower shall not be entitled to draw from any
such Letter of Credit. Upon thirty (30) days notice to Lender, a Borrower may
replace a Letter of Credit with a cash deposit to the applicable Collateral
Account if a Letter of Credit has been outstanding for more than six (6) months.
Prior to the return of a Letter of Credit, Borrowers shall deposit an amount
equal to the amount that would have accumulated in the applicable Collateral
Account and not been disbursed in accordance with this Agreement if such Letter
of Credit had not been delivered.

               (c) Each Borrower shall provide Lender with notice of any
increases in the annual payments for Taxes, Insurance Premiums or Capital
Expenditures for any of the Properties thirty (30) days prior to the effective
date of any such increase and any applicable Letter of Credit shall be increased
by such increased amount at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of
such increase.

          Section 6.15. Provisions Regarding Letters of Credit.

          6.15.1. Security for Debt. Each Letter of Credit delivered under this
Agreement shall be additional security for the payment of the Debt. Upon the
occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, at
its option, to draw on any Letter of Credit and to apply all or any part thereof
to the payment of the items for which such Letter of Credit was established or
to apply each such Letter of Credit to payment of the Debt in such order,
proportion or priority as Lender may determine. Any such application to the Debt
shall be subject to the Spread Maintenance Premium.

          6.15.2. Additional Rights of Lender. In addition to any other right
Lender may have to draw upon a Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, Lender shall have the additional rights to draw in
full any Letter of Credit: (a) if Lender has received a notice from the issuing
bank that the Letter of Credit will not be renewed and a substitute Letter of
Credit is not provided at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the
outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire; (b) upon receipt of notice
from the issuing

                                       70

<PAGE>

bank that the Letter of Credit will be terminated (except if the termination of
such Letter of Credit is permitted pursuant to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement or a substitute Letter of Credit is provided); or (c) if the bank
issuing the Letter of Credit shall cease to be an Eligible Institution and any
Borrower fails to deliver a replacement Letter of Credit within ten (10) days of
the date that the issuing bank is no longer an Eligible Institution.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the above, Lender is not
obligated to draw any Letter of Credit upon the happening of an event specified
in (a), (b) or (c) above and shall not be liable for any losses sustained by any
Borrower due to the insolvency of the bank issuing the Letter of Credit if
Lender has not drawn the Letter of Credit.

                        ARTICLE VII. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

          Section 7.1. The Management Agreement.

          Each Borrower shall cause Manager to manage the Properties in
accordance in all material respects with the Management Agreements. Each
Borrower shall (i) diligently perform and observe in all material respects all
of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Management Agreements on the part
of any Borrower to be performed and observed (ii) promptly notify Lender of any
default by Manager under the provisions of the Management Agreements and (iii)
promptly notify Lender of any notice to any Borrower of any default by any
Borrower in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or
conditions of the Management Agreements on the part of any Borrower to be
performed and observed. If any Borrower shall default in the performance or
observance of any material term, covenant or condition of any Management
Agreement on the part of any Borrower to be performed or observed, then, without
limiting Lender's other rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents, and without waiving or releasing any Borrower from any of its
obligations hereunder or under such Management Agreement, Lender shall have the
right, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act
as may be appropriate to cause all the material terms, covenants and conditions
of such Management Agreement on the part of any Borrower to be performed or
observed.

          Section 7.2. Prohibition Against Termination or Modification.

          Each Borrower shall not surrender, terminate, cancel, amend, modify,
renew or extend any Management Agreement, or enter into any other agreement
relating to the management or operation of any Property with any Manager or any
other Person, or consent to the assignment by any Manager of its interest under
the relevant Management Agreement, in each case without the express consent of
Lender, which consent may be granted or denied in Lender's sole discretion;
provided, however, with respect to a new manager such consent may be conditioned
upon Borrowers delivering a Rating Agency Confirmation as to such new manager
and management agreement. If at any time Lender consents to the appointment of a
new manager, such new manager and Borrowers shall, as a condition of Lender's
consent, execute a subordination of management agreement in the form then used
by Lender. The management fees and other fees reserved under the Management
Agreements shall not exceed in the aggregate the prevailing rate for properties
of comparable size, quality and tenant mix in the market in which the Properties
are located. In no event shall such fees exceed seven percent (7%) of the
Operating Income.

                                       71

<PAGE>

          Section 7.3. Replacement of Manager.

          Lender shall have the right to require any Borrower to terminate any
Management Agreement and to replace any Manager with a Person chosen by a
Borrower and approved by Lender, upon the occurrence of any one or more of the
following events: (i) at any time following the occurrence of an Event of
Default, (ii) if a Manager shall be in default under the relevant Management
Agreement or the relevant Assignment of Management Agreement beyond any
applicable notice and cure period, (iii) if at any time a Manager has engaged in
gross negligence, malfeasance, fraud or willful misconduct and (iv) if the Debt
Service Coverage Ratio is less than 1.25:1.00.

                             ARTICLE VIII. TRANSFERS

          Section 8.1. Transfer of the Properties.

          Each Borrower may not transfer all of the Properties to another party
(i) unless Lender shall have consented in writing to such transfer which consent
may be granted or denied in Lender's sole discretion, (ii) after a
Securitization has occurred, Rating Agency Confirmation is obtained, (iii)
acceptable opinions relating to such transfer shall have been delivered by
Borrowers to Lender and to the Rating Agencies (including without limitation tax
and non-consolidation opinions), (iv) the transferee assumes in writing all
obligations of the transferor under the Loan Documents and executes and delivers
such other documentation as may be required by Lender or the Rating Agencies,
(v) Borrowers pay an assumption fee equal to one half of one percent (.5%) of
the Loan Amount and (vi) Borrowers pay all reasonable expenses incurred by
Lender in connection with such transfer.

          Section 8.2. Transfer of Equity Interests.

               (a) ny transfer of any direct or indirect equity interests in any
Borrower shall be prohibited unless (i) Lender shall have consented in writing
to such transfer or transfers which may be granted or denied in Lender's sole
discretion, (ii) Rating Agency Confirmation is obtained, (iii) acceptable
opinions relating to such transfer or transfers shall have been delivered by
Borrowers to Lender and the Rating Agencies (including, without limitation, tax
and non-consolidation opinions), and (iv) Borrowers pay all reasonable expenses
incurred by Lender in connection with such transfer or transfers.

               (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing clause (a): (i) if the equity
owners of the Parent desire to cause a Change of Control (as defined in the
Master Guaranty) in the Parent after a Securitization has occurred, subject to
the terms of the Master Guaranty, transfers of equity interests in the Parent to
a Qualified Equity Transferee shall be permitted and (ii) transfers of equity
interests in the Parent which do not constitute a Change of Control (as defined
in the Master Guaranty), to the extent permitted under the Master Guaranty,
shall be permitted..

          Section 8.3. Lender's Consent Rights.

          Lender shall not be required to demonstrate any actual impairment of
its security or any increased risk of default hereunder in order to declare the
Debt immediately due and payable upon a Transfer without Lender's consent. This
provision shall apply to every Transfer,

                                       72

<PAGE>

other than any Transfer permitted pursuant to Sections 8.1 and 8.2, regardless
of whether voluntary or not, or whether or not Lender has consented to any
previous Transfer.

                 ARTICLE IX. Sale and Securitization of Mortgage

          Section 9.1. Sale of Mortgages and Securitization.

               (a) Lender shall have the right (i) to sell or otherwise transfer
the Loan or any portion thereof as a whole loan, (ii) to sell participation
interests in the Loan or (iii) to securitize the Loan or any portion thereof in
a single asset securitization or a pooled loan securitization. (The transaction
referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) shall hereinafter be referred to
collectively as "Secondary Market Transactions" and the transactions referred to
in clause (iii) shall hereinafter be referred to as a "Securitization." Any
certificates, notes or other securities issued in connection with a
Securitization are hereinafter referred to as "Securities").

               (b) If requested by Lender, each Borrower shall assist Lender in
satisfying the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres or which may
be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in
connection with any Secondary Market Transactions, including, without
limitation, to:

                    (i) (A) provide updated financial and other information with
     respect to the Properties, the business operated at the Properties, each
     Borrower and the Managers, (B) provide updated budgets relating to the
     Properties and (C) provide updated appraisals, market studies,
     environmental assessments (Phase I's and, if appropriate, Phase II's),
     property condition reports and other due diligence investigations of the
     Properties (the "Updated Information"), together, if customary, with
     appropriate verification of the Updated Information through letters of
     auditors or opinions of counsel acceptable to Lender and the Rating
     Agencies;

                    (ii) provide opinions of counsel, which may be relied upon
     by Lender, the Rating Agencies and their respective counsel, agents and
     representatives, as to non-consolidation or any other opinion customary in
     Secondary Market Transactions or required by the Rating Agencies with
     respect to the Properties and Borrowers and Affiliates, which counsel and
     opinions shall be satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies;

                    (iii) provide updated, as of the closing date of the
     Secondary Market Transaction, representations and warranties made in the
     Loan Documents and such additional representations and warranties as the
     Rating Agencies may require; and

                    (iv) execute amendments to the Loan Documents and any
     Borrower's organizational documents reasonably requested by Lender;
     provided, however, that such Borrower shall not be required to modify or
     amend any Loan Document if such modification or amendment would (A) change
     the interest rate, the stated maturity or the amortization of principal as
     set forth herein or in the Note, or (B) modify or amend any other material
     economic term of the Loan.

                                       73

<PAGE>

               (c) Each Borrower acknowledges that the Loan may be further
divided into two or more separate notes (or components) that correspond to one
or more tranches of certificates created in a Securitization and each Borrower
agrees to cooperate with Lender in connection therewith. Such notes or note
components may be assigned different interest rates, so long as the weighted
average of such interest rates equals the applicable Interest Rate; provided,
that each Borrower recognizes that, in the case of partial prepayments
associated with principal reduction funded from Net Proceeds, the application of
amounts to principal following an Event of Default under the Loan, or any other
prepayment of a portion of the Loan by any Borrower, the weighted average
interest rate of the Loan may increase because principal may be applied
sequentially, starting with the most senior tranche of certificates. In
addition, each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender shall have the right
to split the Note into an "A" note and a "B" note and each Borrower agrees to
cooperate with Lender in connection therewith in connection with the foregoing
so long as the weighted average interest rate of the "A" note and the "B" note
equals the applicable Interest Rate; provided, that each Borrower recognizes
that, in the case of partial prepayments associated with principal reduction
funded from Net Proceeds, the application of amounts to principal following an
Event of Default under the Loan, or any other prepayment of a portion of the
Loan by any Borrower, the weighted average interest rate of the Loan may
increase because in certain circumstances principal may be applied sequentially
to the "A" and the "B" note.

               (d) If, pursuant to this Section, any interest in this Agreement
or the Note is transferred to any transferee that is not a U.S. Person, the
Lender shall cause such transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such
transfer, to furnish to the Lender and Borrowers either Form W-8BEN or Form
W-8ECI or any other form in order to establish an exemption from, or reduction
in the rate of, U.S. withholding tax on all interest payments hereunder, and to
agree (for the benefit of Lender and Borrowers) to provide the Lender a new Form
W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI or any forms reasonably requested in order to establish an
exemption, or reduction in the rate of, U.S. withholding tax upon the expiration
or obsolescence of any previously delivered form and comparable statements in
accordance with applicable U.S. laws and regulations and amendments duly
executed and completed by such transferee, and to comply from time to time with
all applicable U.S. laws and regulations with regard to such withholding tax
exemption.

          Section 9.2. Securitization Indemnification.

               (a) Each Borrower understands that information provided to Lender
by any Borrower and its agents, counsel and representatives may be included in
disclosure documents in connection with the Securitization, including, without
limitation, an offering circular, a prospectus, prospectus supplement, private
placement memorandum or other offering document (each, an "Disclosure Document")
and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission
pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or
the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and
may be made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities,
the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization.

               (b) Upon request, each Borrower shall provide in connection with
each of (i) a preliminary and a final private placement memorandum or (ii) a
preliminary and final

                                       74

<PAGE>

prospectus or prospectus supplement, as applicable, an agreement (A) certifying
that each Borrower has examined such Disclosure Documents specified by Lender
and that each such Disclosure Document, as it relates to each Borrower, Borrower
Affiliates, the Properties, Manager and all other aspects of the Loan (the
"Relevant Material"), does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made,
in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading,
(B) indemnifying Lender (and for purposes of this Section 9.2, Lender hereunder
shall include its officers and directors and each Person that controls Lender
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the
Exchange Act, collectively, the "Ventas Group"), the party that has filed the
registration statement relating to the Securitization (the "Registration
Statement"), each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the
Registration Statement and each Person that controls such party within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act
(collectively, the "Underwriter Group") for any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (collectively, the "Liabilities") to which Lender, Ventas Group or
the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of
or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
material fact contained in the Relevant Material or arise out of or are based
upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
to be stated in the Relevant Material or necessary in order to make the
statements in the Relevant Material, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading and (C) agreeing to reimburse Lender, the Ventas
Group and/or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by Lender, the Ventas Group and the Underwriter Group in connection
with investigating or defending the Liabilities; provided, however, that each
Borrower will be liable in any such case under clauses (B) or (C) above only to
the extent that any such loss claim, damage or liability arises out of or is
based upon any such untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance upon
and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of any
Borrower in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Document or in
connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan, including, without
limitation, financial statements of any Borrower, operating statements, rent
rolls, appraisals, market studies, environmental site assessment reports and
property condition reports with respect to the Properties. This indemnity will
be in addition to any liability which any Borrower may otherwise have.

               (c) In connection with Exchange Act Filings, each Borrower shall
(i) indemnify Lender, the Ventas Group and the Underwriter Group for Liabilities
to which Lender, the Ventas Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject
insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon the omission or
alleged omission to state in the Disclosure Document a material fact required to
be stated in the Disclosure Document in order to make the statements in the
Disclosure Document, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading and (ii) reimburse Lender, the Ventas Group or the Underwriter
Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Ventas
Group or the Underwriter Group in connection with defending or investigating the
Liabilities.

               (d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 9.2 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party
will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party
under this Section 9.2, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the
commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will
not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the

                                       75

<PAGE>

indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the
extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to the indemnifying party. In the
event that any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies
the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will
be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein
and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to
the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such
indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party
to such indemnified party under this Section 9.2, such indemnified party shall
pay for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified
party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of
investigation; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include
both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party
shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to
it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to
those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties
shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses
and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such
indemnified party at the cost of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party
shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel unless an
indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal
defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those
available to another indemnified party.

               (e) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in
circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Section 9.2(b) or
(c) is for any reason held to be unenforceable as to an indemnified party in
respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect
thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under
Section 9.2(b) or (c), the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount
paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof); provided, however, that
no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In determining the
amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the
following factors shall be considered: (i) the applicable indemnified party's
and each Borrower's relative knowledge and access to information concerning the
matter with respect to which the claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to
correct and prevent any statement or omission; and (iii) any other equitable
considerations appropriate in the circumstances. Lender and each Borrower hereby
agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were
determined by pro rata or per capita allocation.

               (f) The liabilities and obligations of both Borrowers and Lender
under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the
satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.

          Section 10.1. Event of Default.

               (a) Each of the following events shall constitute an event of
default hereunder (an "Event of Default"):

                    (i) if any portion of the Debt is not paid when due or if
     any Borrower fails to pay any other amount payable pursuant to this
     Agreement (including, without limitation, any deposits or payments to the
     Collateral Accounts) or any other Loan Document when due and payable in
     accordance with the provisions hereof or thereof, as the case may be;

                    (ii) subject to Borrowers' right to contest Taxes and Other
     Charges pursuant to Section 4.1.2 and provided Borrower is complying with
     the terms of such Section, if any of the Taxes or Other Charges are not
     paid when due;

                    (iii) if the Policies are not kept in full force and effect;

                    (iv) if any Borrower breaches or permits or suffers a breach
     of Article 6 of any Mortgage;

                    (v) if any representation or warranty made by any Borrower
     herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any report, certificate,
     financial statement or other instrument, agreement or document furnished to
     Lender shall have been false or misleading in any material respect as of
     the date the representation or warranty was made;

                    (vi) if any Borrower shall make an assignment for the
     benefit of creditors;

                    (vii) if a receiver, liquidator or trustee shall be
     appointed for any Borrower or if any Borrower shall be adjudicated a
     bankrupt or insolvent, or if any petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or
     arrangement pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or
     state law, shall be filed by or against, consented to, or acquiesced in by,
     any Borrower, or if any proceeding for the dissolution or liquidation of
     any Borrower shall be instituted; provided, however, if such appointment,
     adjudication, petition or proceeding was involuntary and not consented to
     by any Borrower, upon the same not being discharged, stayed or dismissed
     within thirty (30) days;

                    (viii) if any Borrower attempts to assign its rights under
     this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any interest herein or
     therein in contravention of the Loan Documents;

                    (ix) if any of the assumptions contained in the Insolvency
     Opinion, or in any other non-consolidation opinion delivered to Lender in

     connection with the Loan, or in any other non-consolidation delivered
     subsequent to the closing of the Loan, is or shall become untrue in any
     material respect;

                    (x) if any Borrower breaches any representation, warranty or
     covenant contained in Section 3.1.24 hereof or if any Borrower is not a
     Single-Purpose Entity or if any provision of any organizational document of
     any Borrower is amended or modified in any respect without the prior
     written consent of Lender;

                    (xi) if any Borrower shall continue to be in Default under
     any of the other terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement not
     specified in subsections (i) to (x) above, for ten (10) days after notice
     to any Borrower from Lender, in the case of any Default which can be cured
     by the payment of a sum of money, or for thirty (30) days after notice from
     Lender in the case of any other Default; provided, however, that if such
     non-monetary Default is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured
     within such 30-day period and provided further that a Borrower shall have
     commenced to cure such Default within such 30-day period and thereafter
     diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure the same, such 30-day period
     shall be extended for such time as is reasonably necessary for such
     Borrower in the exercise of due diligence to cure such Default, such
     additional period not to exceed sixty (60) days; (xii) if there shall be
     default under any of the other Loan Documents beyond any applicable cure
     periods contained in such Loan Documents, whether as to any Borrower or any
     of the Properties, or if any other such event shall occur or condition
     shall exist, if the effect of such event or condition is to accelerate the
     maturity of any portion of the Debt or to permit Lender to accelerate the
     maturity of all or any portion of the Debt;

                    (xiii) if any Guarantor breaches any covenant, warranty or
     representation contained in any Loan Document to which it is a party,
     including, but not limited to, the Master Guaranty and Master Guaranty
     Pledge which is not remedied within any grace period; or

                    (xiv) if Borrowers shall fail to maintain an Acceptable
     Interest Rate Cap Agreement collaterally assigned to Lender pursuant to the
     Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap or is in default of its
     obligations under any interest rate cap agreement delivered in connection
     with the Loan beyond any applicable notice and cure period, or if any such
     interest rate cap agreement shall be void or unenforceable; or

                    (xv) if a final unappealable determination shall have been
     made by any applicable Governmental Authority of any Borrower's
     non-compliance with material Legal Requirements applicable to any Property,
     or of the revocation of any material license, permit or approval required
     for the lawful operation of any Property, or any other circumstances under
     which any Borrower is required by a final unappealable determination of any
     such Governmental Authority to cease operations of such Property as a
     Nursing Facility, Assisted Living Facility or Specialty Hospital, in each
     case as

                                       78

     described on the attached Schedule III (as such Schedule may be amended to
     show any change of use of any Property);

                    (xvi) if an "Event of Default" occurs under any Operating
     Lease;

                    (xvii) if there is a reduction in the number of licensed
     beds or a change in the type of licensed beds for any Property in violation
     of the requirements of this Agreement; or

                    (xviii) if any Borrower shall fail to correct, within the
     time deadlines set by any Medicare, Medicaid, health, reimbursement,
     licensing or similar agency, any deficiency that justifies either of the
     following actions by such agency with respect to any Property and such
     agency commences either of the following actions:

                    (1) a termination of any Medicare contract, Medicaid

                    patients otherwise qualifying for Medicaid or Medicare
                    coverage which ban is not lifted within sixty (60) days or

     Property;

                    (xx) except as may be permitted pursuant to this Agreement,

     or Rehabilitation Hospital in each case as described on the attached
     Schedule III (as such Schedule may be amended to show any change of use of
     any Property) or terminates such business for any reason whatsoever (other
     than a temporary cessation in connection with any renovations); or

                    (xxi) if, with respect to any Property, any Governmental
     Authority (a) makes a substandard quality of care determination regarding
     such Property which determination is not corrected in sixty (60) days (or
     if incapable of being cured within such sixty (60) days period, within one
     hundred twenty (120) days provided Borrowers are taking all appropriate
     actions to correct such determination); (b) makes a determination that such
     Property is not in substantial compliance with any applicable regulatory
     requirements which determination is not corrected in sixty (60) days (or if
     incapable of being cured within such sixty (60) days period, within one
     hundred twenty (120) days, provided Borrowers are taking all appropriate
     actions to correct such determination); (c) designates any portion of such
     Property or the entirety of such Property as part of a "poor performing
     chain"; (d) cites deficiencies at the scope or

                                       79

<PAGE>

     severity of "G", "H" or higher with respect to such Property and for which
     no plan of correction is in place within ten (10) days of receipt of such
     deficiency statement; (e) cites deficiencies at the scope and severity of
     "G", "H" or higher with respect to such Property for which a plan of
     correction has been filed but not approved by such Governmental Authority,
     with such designation, determination or action continuing unremedied for a
     period of sixty (60) days (or if incapable of being cured within such sixty
     (60) days period, within one hundred twenty (120) days, provided Borrowers
     are taking all appropriate actions to correct such determination) (or ten
     (10) days for immediate jeopardy deficiencies) following any Borrower's
     first receipt of notice of such designation, determination or action; or
     (f) takes adverse regulatory action with respect to such Property,
     including, without limitation, the imposing of civil money penalties, with
     such designation, determination or action continuing unremedied for a
     period of sixty (60) days (or if incapable of being cured within such sixty
     (60) days period, within one hundred twenty (120) days, provided Borrowers
     are taking all appropriate actions to correct such determination) (ten (10)
     days for immediate jeopardy deficiencies) following any Borrower's receipt
     of notice of such designation, determination or action.

               (b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an
Event of Default described in clauses (vi), (vii) or (viii) above) and at any
time thereafter Lender may, in addition to any other rights or remedies
available to it pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or at
law or in equity, take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems
advisable to protect and enforce its rights against any Borrower and in and to
any or all of the Properties, including, without limitation, declaring the Debt
to be immediately due and payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself of any
or all rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents against any Borrower
and any or all of the Properties, including, without limitation, all rights or
remedies available at law or in equity; and upon any Event of Default described
in clauses (vi), (vii) or (viii) above, the Debt and all other obligations of
each Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately and
automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and each
Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained
herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.

          Section 10.2. Remedies.

               (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other
remedies available to Lender against any Borrower under this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, any
Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from
time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and
payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure
proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under
any of the Loan Documents with respect to any or all of the Properties. Any such
actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued
independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in
such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and
remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein
or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, if an Event of

                                       80

<PAGE>

Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to any "one action" or "election
of remedies" law or rule to the face extent allowed by applicable law, and (ii)
all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall
remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies
against the Properties and each Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or
otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in
full.

               (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially
foreclose the Mortgages in any manner and for any amounts secured by the
Mortgages then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion
including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event any
Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or
more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose one or
more of the Mortgages to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event
Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance
of the Loan, Lender may foreclose one or more the Mortgages to recover so much
of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other
sums secured by one or more of the Mortgages as Lender may elect.
Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Properties shall remain
subject to the Mortgages to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgages and
not previously recovered.

               (c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the
other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other
security documents (the "Severed Loan Documents") in such denominations as
Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and
enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Each Borrower shall
execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of
Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request
in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Each Borrower hereby
absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney,
coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all
documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, each
Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof;
provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under
such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to any Borrower by
Lender of Lender's intent to exercise its rights under such power. Except as may
be required in connection with a Securitization pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof,
(i) each Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred
in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the
Severed Loan Documents, and (ii) the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain
any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents
and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan
Documents will be given by each Borrower only as of the Closing Date.

               (d) Any amounts recovered from the Properties or any other
collateral for the Loan after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender
toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other
amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as
Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.

                                       81

          Section 10.3. Remedies Cumulative.

          The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall
be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender
may have against any Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender's rights, powers
and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and
in such order as Lender may determine in Lender's sole discretion. No delay or
omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of
Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a
waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time
to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or
Event of Default with respect to any Borrower shall not be construed to be a
waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by any Borrower or to
impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

                            ARTICLE XI. MISCELLANEOUS

          Section 11.1. Successors and Assigns.

          All covenants, promises and agreements in this Agreement, by or on
behalf of any Borrower, shall inure to the benefit of the legal representatives,
successors and assigns of Lender.

          Section 11.2. Lender's Discretion.

          Whenever pursuant to this Agreement Lender exercises any right given
to it to approve or disapprove, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory
to Lender, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove or to decide whether
arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory shall (except as is
otherwise specifically herein provided) be in the sole discretion of Lender and
shall be final and conclusive. Prior to a Securitization, whenever pursuant to
this Agreement the Rating Agencies are given any right to approve or disapprove,
or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to the Rating Agencies, the
decision of Lender to approve or disapprove or to decide whether arrangements or
terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory, based upon Lender's determination of
Rating Agency criteria, shall be substituted therefore.

          Section 11.3. Governing Law.

ARISING HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW,
BORROWER HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM TO ASSERT THAT
THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION GOVERNS THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTE, AND THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK PURSUANT TO SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL

          Section 11.4. Modification, Waiver in Writing.

          No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or
waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document, nor
consent to any departure by any Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be
effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by the party against whom
enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only
in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to, or demand on any Borrower,
shall entitle any Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same,
similar or other circumstances.

          Section 11.5. Delay Not a Waiver.

          Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Lender in insisting
upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or
exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder, or under any other
Loan Document, shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a
single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the
exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. In particular, and not
by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount
payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Lender shall not be
deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all
other amounts due under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or to
declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.

          Section 11.6. Notices.

          Section 11.8. Headings.

          The Article and/or Section headings and the Table of Contents in this
Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and are not to
be construed as defining or limiting the scope or intent of the provisions
hereof.

          Section 11.9. Severability.

          Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under
applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision
or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

          Section 11.10. Preferences.

          Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or
reverse and reapply any and all payments by any Borrower to any portion of the
obligations of any Borrower hereunder. To the extent any Borrower makes a
payment or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are
subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside
or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any
bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to
the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the obligations hereunder or
part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full
force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by
Lender.

          Section 11.11. Waiver of Notice.

          To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower shall not be
entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect
to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and
expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to a Borrower and except
with respect to matters for which any Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable
Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice to the full extent
permitted by applicable law. Each Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to
receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and expressly provide
for the giving of notice by Lender to a Borrower.

          Section 11.12. Remedies of Borrower.

          In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its
agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where,
by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such
agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly,
neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and a
Borrower's sole remedy shall be limited to commencing an action seeking
injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. Any action or proceeding to determine
whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking
declaratory

                                       86

<PAGE>

judgment. Any expedited procedure legally available with such a declaratory
judgment action or action for injunctive relief may be utilized to the extent
possible.

          Section 11.13. Expenses; Indemnity.

               (a) Each Borrower shall pay or, if any Borrower fails to pay,
reimburse Lender upon receipt of notice from Lender, for all reasonable costs
and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred
by Lender in connection with (i) any Borrower's ongoing performance of and
compliance with any Borrower's agreements and covenants contained in this
Agreement, the Cooperation Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to
be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including, without
limitation, confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements;
(ii) Lender's ongoing performance of and compliance with all agreements and
covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part
to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date; (iii) the negotiation,
preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments,
waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
and any other documents or matters requested by any Borrower; (iv) the filing
and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees and
expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and
other similar expenses incurred, in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor
of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (v) enforcing
or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting
or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case
against, under or affecting any Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan
Documents, the Properties, or any other security given for the Loan; (vi) the
Re-sizing and (vii) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due
from any Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect
to the Properties or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the
credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a "work-out"
or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, that each
Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to
the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud
or willful misconduct of Lender. Any costs due and payable to Lender may be paid
to Lender pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement.

               (b) Each Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless
Lender and its officers, directors, agents and employees (and the successors and
assigns of the foregoing (the "Lender Indemnitees")) from and against any and
all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements
of counsel for Lender Indemnitees in connection with any investigative,
administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not
Lender Indemnitees shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on,
incurred by, or asserted against Lender Indemnitees in any manner relating to or
arising out of (i) any breach by any Borrower of its obligations under, or any
material misrepresentation by any Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the
Loan (collectively, the "Indemnified Liabilities"); provided, however, that each
Borrower shall not have any obligation to Lender Indemnitees hereunder to the
extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence,
illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender Indemnitees. To the extent
that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the
preceding sentence

                                       87

<PAGE>

may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrowers
shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under
applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities
incurred by Lender Indemnitees.

          Section 11.14. Schedules Incorporated.

          The Schedules annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part
of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.

          Section 11.15. Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses.

          Any assignee of Lender's interest in and to this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets,
counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which any
Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such
unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by any
Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such
documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset,
counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly
waived by each Borrower.

          Section 11.16. No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party
Beneficiaries.

               (a) Each Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships
created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower
and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture,
partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between any
Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Properties other
than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.

               (b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for
the benefit of Lender and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender any right to
insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the
obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of
Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the
benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require
satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to
assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict
compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any
circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of
which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender's sole
discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.

          Section 11.17. Publicity.

          All news releases, publicity or advertising by any Borrower or its
Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers
to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to
Lender or any of its Affiliates shall be subject to the prior approval of
Lender.

          Section 11.18. Waiver of Marshalling of Assets.

          To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Borrower, for itself and
its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of
any Borrower, any Borrower's partners and others with interests in any Borrower,
and of the Properties, and shall not assert any right under any laws pertaining
to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead
exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters
whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan
Documents to a sale of the Properties for the collection of the Debt without any
prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the
payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Properties in preference to
every other claimant whatsoever.

          Section 11.19. Waiver of Offsets/Defenses/Counterclaims.

          To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower hereby waives
the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a mandatory or compulsory
counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its
agents or otherwise to offset any obligations to make the payments required by
the Loan Documents. No failure by Lender to perform any of its obligations
hereunder shall be a valid defense to, or result in any offset against, any
payments which any Borrower is obligated to make under any of the Loan
Documents.

          Section 11.20. Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance.

          In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions
of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this
Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were
represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting
and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be
subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which
drafted same. Each Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, each
Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the
Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or
recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender.
Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any
rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other
agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it
or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of
them may acquire in any Borrower, and each Borrower hereby irrevocably waives
the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing
with respect to Lender's exercise of any such rights or remedies. Each Borrower
acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and
other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to
or competitive with the business of any Borrower or its Affiliates.

          Section 11.21. Brokers and Financial Advisors.

          Each Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial
advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Borrower
shall indemnify, defend and hold Lender Indemnitees harmless from and against
any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any

                                       89

<PAGE>

kind (including attorneys' fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising
from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of any Borrower or
Lender Indemnitees in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The
provisions of this Section 11.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of
this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.

          Section 11.22. Exculpation.

          Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the
liability and obligation of any Borrower to perform and observe the obligations
contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgages or the other Loan Documents
by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against any
Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for
specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable
Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this Agreement,
the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents, or in the Properties, the Rents, or
any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided,
however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such
action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrowers only to the extent
of Borrowers' interest in the Properties, in the Rents and in any other
collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement,
the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents, shall not sue for, seek or demand
any deficiency judgment against any Borrower in any such action or proceeding
under or by reason of or under or in connection with the Note, this Agreement,
the Mortgages or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section shall
not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation
evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of
Lender to name any Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for
foreclosure and sale under any of the Mortgages; (c) affect the validity or
enforceability of any guaranty made in connection with the Loan, the Mezzanine
Loan, the Sale/Leaseback Transaction or any of the rights and remedies of Lender
thereunder; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a
receiver; (e) impair the enforcement of any of the Assignments of Leases; (f)
constitute a prohibition against Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against
any Borrower in order to fully realize the security granted by each of the
Mortgages or to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for
Lender to exercise its remedies against all of the Properties; or (g) constitute
a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of any
Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage,
cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender
(including attorneys' fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in
connection with the following:

                    (i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by any Borrower
     or any guarantor in connection with the Loan;

                    (ii) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any
     Borrower;

                    (iii) the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant
     or indemnification provision in the Environmental Indemnity concerning
     environmental laws, hazardous substances and asbestos and any
     indemnification of Lender with respect thereto contained in the
     Environmental Indemnity;

                                       90

<PAGE>

                    (iv) the removal or disposal of any portion of the
     Properties after an Event of Default;

                    (v) the misapplication or conversion by any Borrower of (A)
     any insurance proceeds paid by reason of any loss, damage or destruction to
     the Properties, (B) any Awards or other amounts received in connection with
     the Condemnation of all or a portion of the Properties, or (C) any Rents
     following an Event of Default;

                    (vi) failure to pay charges for labor or materials or other
     charges that can create Liens on any portion of the Properties;

                    (vii) any security deposits, advance deposits or any other
     deposits collected with respect to the Properties which are not delivered
     to Lender upon a foreclosure of the Properties or action in lieu thereof,
     except to the extent any such security deposits were applied in accordance
     with the terms and conditions of any of the Leases prior to the occurrence
     of the Event of Default that gave rise to such foreclosure or action in
     lieu thereof;

                    (viii) each Borrower's indemnification of Lender set forth
     in Section 9.2 hereof; and

                    (ix) the failure to deposit all Rents into the Cash
     Management Account in accordance with the provisions hereof.

          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Note
or any of the Loan Documents, (A) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any
right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the
Debt or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt
owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B) the Debt shall be
fully recourse to each Borrower (1) prior to a Securitization and (2) in the
event that: (i) any Borrower fails to permit on-site inspections of the
Properties, fails to provide financial information, fails to maintain its status
as a Single-Purpose Entity or fails to appoint a new property manager upon the
request of Lender after an Event of Default or other event that would give rise
to the right of Lender to request any Borrower to appoint a new property
manager, each as required by, and in accordance with the terms and provisions
of, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (iii) any Borrower fails to
obtain Lender's prior consent to any subordinate financing, mezzanine financing
or other voluntary Lien encumbering the Properties; (iv) any Borrower fails to
obtain Lender's prior consent to any Transfer to the extent such consent is
required herein or in the Mortgages; (v) any Borrower files a voluntary petition
under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency
law; (vi) an Affiliate, officer, director, or representative which controls,
directly or indirectly, any Borrower files, or joins in the filing of, an
involuntary petition against any Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or any other

                                       91

<PAGE>

Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law, or solicits or causes to be
solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition against any
Borrower from any Person; (vii) any Borrower files an answer consenting to or
otherwise acquiescing in or joining in any involuntary petition filed against
it, by any other Person under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state
bankruptcy or insolvency law, or solicits or causes to be solicited petitioning
creditors for any involuntary petition from any Person; (viii) any Affiliate,
officer, director, or representative which controls any Borrower consents to or
acquiesces in or joins in an application for the appointment of a custodian,
receiver, trustee, or examiner for any Borrower or any portion of the
Properties; or (ix) any Borrower makes an assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or admits, in writing or in any legal proceeding, its insolvency or
inability to pay its debts as they become due.

          Section 11.23. Prior Agreements.

          This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire
agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such
parties, whether oral or written, including, without limitation, the loan
commitment dated October 2, 2002, and all attachments thereto including, but not
limited to, the term sheet between Borrowers and Lender, are superseded by the
terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

          Section 11.24. Servicer.

          At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer
including, but not limited to any sub-servicers or master servicer (the
"Servicer") selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its
responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the
Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement (the "Servicing Agreement") between
Lender and Servicer. Borrowers shall be responsible for any reasonable set-up
fees or any other initial costs relating to or arising under the Servicing
Agreement; provided, however, that Borrowers shall not be responsible for
payment of the monthly servicing fee due to the Servicer under the Servicing
Agreement.

          Section 11.25. Duplicate Originals; Counterparts.

          This Agreement may be executed in any number of duplicate originals
and each such duplicate original shall be deemed to be an original. This
Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which counterparts
shall be deemed an original instrument and all of which together shall
constitute a single Agreement. The failure of any party hereto to execute this
Agreement, or any counterpart hereof, shall not relieve the other signatories
from their obligations hereunder.

          Section 11.26. Cross Collateralization.

          Without limitation to any other right or remedy provided to Lender in
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, each Borrower acknowledges
and agrees that to the full extent permitted under applicable law, upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default (i) Lender shall have the right to pursue all
of its rights and remedies in one proceeding, or separately and independently in
separate proceedings which it, as Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion,
shall determine from time to time, (ii) Lender is not required to either
marshall assets, sell any of the collateral for the Loan in any inverse order of
alienation, or be subjected to any "one action" or "election of remedies" law or
rule, (iii) the exercise by Lender of any remedies against any of the collateral
for the Loan will not impede Lender from subsequently or

                                       92

<PAGE>

simultaneously exercising remedies against other collateral for the Loan, (iv)
all Liens and other rights, remedies and privileges provided to Lender in this
Agreement and in the other Loan Documents or otherwise shall remain in full
force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the
collateral for the Loan and all of the collateral for the Loan has been
foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon and (v) all of the Properties
shall be security for the performance of all of each Borrower's obligations
hereunder.

          Section 11.27. Joint and Several Liability.

          If more than one Person has executed this Agreement as "Borrower," the
representations, covenants, warranties and obligations of all such Persons
hereunder shall be joint and several.
