         TO SECURE TO OCWEN (a) the repayment of any amounts due to Ocwen under

<PAGE>
heretofore or hereafter vacated alleys and streets abutting the property, and

rights and profits, water, water rights, and water stock appurtenant to the
property, and all fixtures, machinery, equipment, engines, boilers,
incinerators, building materials and appliances whatsoever now or hereafter

hereafter acquired and used in, on or about the subject real estate (excluding,
however, leased equipment) all of which, to the extent owned by Borrower,
including replacements and additions thereto, shall be deemed to be and remain a
part of the real property covered by this Instrument; and, to the extent
permissible by law, all licenses, permits and certifications and all other
general intangibles owned or used in connection with the operation of the real
property covered by this Instrument; and all of the proceeds of the foregoing;
and all of the above including said real property are herein referred to as the
"Property".

         Borrower covenants and agrees that Borrower is lawfully seized of the
estate hereby conveyed and has the right to mortgage, grant, convey and assign
the Property, that the Property is unencumbered, except for Permitted
Encumbrances, and that Borrower will warrant and defend generally the title to
the Property against all claims and demands, whatsoever. As used herein,
"Permitted Encumbrances" means (i) all matters listed on Schedule B to that
certain Title Insurance Policy issued by First American Title Insurance Company,
dated March ___, 2002 and noted as Policy Number _________________; (ii) all
resident or occupancy contracts for the leasing of units located on the
Property; and (iii) real property taxes and assessments imposed or assessed on
the Property but not yet due and payable as of March 31, 2002.

         Borrower and Ocwen covenant and agree as follows:

         1. PAYMENT OF AMOUNTS DUE UNDER THE LOAN AGREEMENTS; OPEN-END MORTGAGE.
Borrower is obligated to promptly pay when due all amounts which shall become
due to Ocwen under the Loan


                                      -3-
<PAGE>
Agreements, and all other sums secured by this Instrument. This Instrument is
intended to be and shall be construed as an open-end mortgage and shall secure
the maximum principal amount of $9,153,356.00 together with interest thereon and
such other amounts as shall become due and owing to Ocwen from Borrower pursuant
to this Instrument, the Loan Agreements, or other notes, documents or agreements
evidencing, or otherwise executed in connection with, additional indebtedness
secured by this Instrument.

         2. FUNDS FOR TAXES, INSURANCE AND OTHER CHARGES. Upon default in
payment of any of the following described items, which default continues for a
period of thirty (30) days after Ocwen has provided notice of same to Borrower
(and Borrower shall notify Ocwen of its default in the payment of the following
promptly after Borrower becomes aware of same), or, upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default under any of the Loan Agreements, specifically including but
not limited to the Term Loan Agreement, or other notes or agreements given in
connection with additional indebtedness of Borrower to Ocwen secured by this
Instrument, Ocwen shall have the right, at its option, to require Borrower to
pay to Ocwen on the first day of each month, for so long as the Term Note or any
of the Loan Agreements remains outstanding, a sum (herein "Funds") equal to
one-twelfth of (a) the yearly water and sewer rates which may be levied on the
Property; and (b) the yearly expenses, costs or fees associated with any
licenses, permits, certifications or other governmental approvals required,
necessary, or desirable for the operation of the facility located on the
Property, all as reasonably estimated initially and from time to time adjusted
by the basis of assessments and bills and reasonable estimates thereof. Any
waiver by Ocwen of a requirement that Borrower pay such Funds following
Borrower's default in payment of any of such items or the occurrence of an Event
of Default under any of the Loan Agreements, specifically including but not
limited to the Term Loan Agreement, may be revoked by Ocwen, in Ocwen's sole
discretion, at any time upon notice in writing to Borrower. Borrower shall be
required to escrow funds sufficient to pay real property taxes and assessments,
and upon Borrower's failure to pay premiums for the following when due,
insurance premiums for fire and other casualty/hazard insurance, in accordance
with the terms and conditions of Section 4.7 of the Term Loan Agreement, and
such escrowed funds shall not be governed by this Section 2, but rather by
Section 4.7 of the Term Loan Agreement.

         The Funds shall be held by Ocwen and shall be applied to pay said
rates, rents, and/or license, permit, or other fees ("Other


                                      -4-
<PAGE>
Impositions") so long as no Event of Default has occurred under any of the Loan
Agreements, specifically including but not limited to the Term Loan Agreement.
Ocwen shall make no charge for so holding and applying the Funds, analyzing said
account or for verifying and compiling said assessments and bills, unless Ocwen
pays Borrower interest, earnings or profits on the Funds and applicable law
permits Ocwen to make such a charge. Unless applicable law requires interest,
earnings or profits on the Funds to be paid, Ocwen shall not be required to pay
Borrower any interest, earnings or profits on the Funds. Ocwen shall give to
Borrower, without charge, an annual accounting of the Funds showing credits and
debits to the Funds and the purpose for which each debit to such Funds was made.

         If at any time the amount of the Funds held by Ocwen shall be less than
the amount deemed necessary by Ocwen to pay water and sewer rates, rents, and/or
license, permit or other fees, and Other Impositions, as they fall due, Borrower
shall, thirty (30) days after demand, pay such deficiency.

         Upon Borrower's breach of any covenant or agreement of Borrower in this
Instrument or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under any of the Loan
Agreements, specifically including but not limited to the Term Loan Agreement,
Ocwen may apply, in any amount and in any order as Ocwen shall determine in
Ocwen's sole discretion, any Funds held by Ocwen at the time of application (a)
to pay rates, rents, and/or license, permit, or other fees, and Other
Impositions which are now or will hereafter become due; or (b) as a credit
against sums secured by this Instrument. Upon release of this Instrument, Ocwen
shall promptly refund to Borrower any Funds held by Ocwen.

         3. APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. All payments received by Ocwen from
Borrower under the Loan Agreements or this Instrument shall be applied by Ocwen
in the following order of priority: (a) amounts payable to Ocwen by Borrower
under paragraph 2 hereof; (b) interest payable on amounts due under the Loan
Agreements; (c) principal due under the Loan Agreements; (d) interest payable on
advances made pursuant to paragraph 8 hereof; (e) principal of advances made
pursuant to paragraph 8 hereof; and (f) any other sums secured by this
Instrument in such order as Ocwen, at Ocwen's option, may determine; provided,
however, that Ocwen may, at Ocwen's option, apply any sums to interest and
principal payable by Borrower pursuant to paragraph 8 hereof prior to amounts
due pursuant to the Loan Agreements and further provided that, in the event of a
sale as provided in paragraph 25 hereof, the proceeds


                                      -5-
<PAGE>
of the sale shall be applied first to the costs of sale and thereafter as
otherwise set forth herein.

         4. CHARGES; LIENS. Borrower shall pay all water and sewer rates, rents,
taxes (not being diligently contested by Borrower in a timely manner and not
otherwise paid by Ocwen from the escrow fund therefore established and
maintained pursuant to Section 4.7 of the Term Loan Agreement), premiums, and
license, permit, or other fees, and Other Impositions attributable to the
Property. Borrower shall promptly discharge any lien which has, or may have,
priority over or equality with, the lien of this Instrument; provided, however,
that Borrower shall be entitled to contest any such lien in good faith (provided
Borrower contests such lien in a diligent and timely manner). With respect to
liens filed for failure to pay real property taxes and/or assessments, Borrower
shall be entitled to contest the lien only if Borrower pays the taxing or
assessing authority sufficient funds to discharge the lien prior to commencement
of the contest. Upon written request from Ocwen, if the lien is in a face amount
in excess of $100,000, Borrower shall provide a bond, letter of credit, or
sufficient funds in an escrow account, to pay off the amount required to
discharge the lien during the period of contest by Borrower (except for real
property tax and/or assessment liens, which are governed by the foregoing
sentence). If a mechanic's lien is filed against the Property, Borrower shall
promptly notify Ocwen and, at Ocwen's request, shall, at Borrower's option, but
subject to the right to contest hereinafter set forth, either (i) escrow with
Ocwen or with the consent of Ocwen deposit in a court of competent jurisdiction
a sum of money equal to the amount of the lien, or (ii) provide a bond against
the lien in such amount and in such manner as to discharge the lien as an
encumbrance against the Property. Without Ocwen's prior written permission,
except as otherwise permitted herein or in any other Loan Document, Borrower
shall not allow any lien, encumbrance, or other interest in the Property
inferior to the lien of this Instrument to be perfected against the Property.

         5. HAZARD, LIABILITY, AND OTHER INSURANCE. Borrower shall keep the real
property and improvements now existing or hereafter erected on the Property
insured by carriers at all times satisfactory to Ocwen and in a form acceptable
to Ocwen against loss by fire, hazards included within the term "extended
coverage," and such other hazards and casualties as Ocwen shall reasonably
require and in an amount not less than the full replacement cost of the
buildings and improvements located on the Property (i.e., such insurance shall
insure the Property on a replacement value basis). The Borrower shall also
maintain such


                                      -6-
<PAGE>
other insurance, specifically including but not limited to rent loss (if
applicable), general liability, workers' compensation, etc., upon the Property,
of such character as is usually maintained by Balanced Care or its Affiliates on
like properties, and in an amount that is acceptable to Ocwen, in the exercise
of its reasonable discretion. Such policies must be written on an occurrence
basis so as to provide blanket contractual liability, broad form property damage
coverage, and coverage for products and completed operations.

         Borrower shall determine if the Property is located in a federally
identified flood hazard zone and if the property is so located the Borrower will
provide flood insurance coverage in a reasonable amount as determined by Ocwen.

         All policies of insurance required by the terms of this Instrument
shall provide or contain an endorsement by the insurer thereof that any loss
shall be payable in accordance with the terms of such policy notwithstanding any
act or negligence of Borrower which might otherwise result in forfeiture of said
insurance and the further agreement of the insurer waiving all rights of
set-off, counterclaim or deductions against Borrower. In addition, such policies
shall contain an agreement by the insurers thereof that such policies shall not
be canceled or changed except upon not less than 30 days prior written notice
delivered to Ocwen.

         All insurance policies and renewals thereof shall be issued by
companies with a Best's Insurance Reports policy holder's rating of A- or better
and a financial size category of Class XI or better, shall be in a form
acceptable to Ocwen and shall include a standard mortgagee clause in favor of
and in form acceptable to Ocwen. Ocwen shall be listed as a mortgagee, loss
payee and additional insured of all such policies. Ocwen shall have the right to
hold the policies, and Borrower shall promptly furnish to Ocwen all renewal
notices and all receipts of paid premiums. At least ten (10) days prior to the
expiration date of a policy, Borrower shall deliver to Ocwen a renewal policy in
form satisfactory to Ocwen. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
above, Ocwen will agree to consent, in its reasonable discretion, to
modifications to insurance requirements to accommodate company-wide insurance
programs that may in the future be implemented by Balanced Care and its
Affiliates (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement), which insurance programs may
include (without limitation) self-insurance elements or blanket policy insurance
programs with other Affiliates of Balanced Care or LMR


                                      -7-
<PAGE>
Holdings Limited, an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands
("LMR").

         If Ocwen is made a party defendant to any litigation concerning this
Instrument or the Property or any part thereof or interest therein, or the
occupancy thereof by Borrower, and such litigation is not caused by any act of
Ocwen which constitutes gross negligence or intentional misconduct on the part
of Ocwen, then Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Ocwen harmless from all
liability by reason of said litigation, including reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses incurred by Ocwen in any such litigation, whether or not any such
litigation is prosecuted to judgment. Borrower waives any and all right to claim
or recover against Ocwen, its officers, employees, agents and representatives,
for loss of or damage to Borrower, the Property, Borrower's property, or the
property of others under Borrower's control from any cause insured against or
required to be insured against by the provisions of this Instrument, except when
such claim or recovery arises out of an act of Ocwen.

         In the event of loss, Borrower shall give reasonably prompt written
notice to the insurance carrier and to Ocwen. If an Event of Default has
occurred under any of the Loan Agreements, specifically including but not
limited to the Term Loan Agreement, Borrower hereby authorizes Ocwen to act as
attorney-in-fact for Borrower to make proof of loss, to adjust and compromise
any claim under the insurance policies, to appear in and prosecute any action
arising from such insurance policies, to collect and receive insurance proceeds,
and to deduct therefrom Ocwen's expenses incurred in the collection of such
proceeds; provided, however, that nothing contained in this paragraph 5 shall
require Ocwen to incur any expense or take any action hereunder. In the event of
loss, the proceeds of said insurance shall be paid, held and disbursed as
hereinafter provided.

         If the Property is sold pursuant to paragraph 25 hereof, or if Ocwen
acquires title to the Property, Ocwen shall have all of the right, title and
interest of Borrower in and to any insurance policies and unearned premiums
thereon and in and to the proceeds resulting from any damage to the Property
prior to such sale or acquisition.

         Provided that Borrower is not in default hereunder and an Event of
Default has not occurred and is not continuing under any of the Loan Agreements,
specifically including but not limited to the Term Loan Agreement, insurance
proceeds shall be held by Ocwen to reimburse Borrower for the cost of
restoration and repair of


                                      -8-
<PAGE>
the Property, and the Property shall be restored to the equivalent of its
original condition or such other condition as Ocwen may approve in writing.
Ocwen may, at Ocwen's option, condition disbursement of said proceeds on Ocwen's
approval of plans and specifications of an architect satisfactory to Ocwen,
contractor's cost estimates, architect's certificates, waivers of lien, sworn
statements of mechanics and materialmen and such other evidence of costs,
percentage completion of construction, application of payments, and satisfaction
of liens as Ocwen may reasonably require. If the amount needed to complete such
repairs or restoration is greater than the amount of insurance proceeds
available, the Borrower shall, at the election of Ocwen and within sixty (60)
days from the date of loss, (i) deposit with Ocwen the difference between the
estimated amount needed to complete such repairs and the available insurance
proceeds, or (ii) pay from Borrower's funds all costs attributable to such
repair or restoration until such time as the estimated remaining cost of the
repairs or restoration is less than or equal to the available insurance
proceeds. If the above conditions are not met, Ocwen may apply such proceeds
toward payment of any amounts due under the Loan Agreements, or toward payment
of any other indebtedness of Borrower to Ocwen secured by this Instrument.

         6. PRESERVATION AND MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTY. Borrower (a) shall not
commit waste or permit impairment or deterioration of the Property; (b) shall
not abandon the Property; (c) shall restore or repair promptly and in a good and
workmanlike manner all or any part of the Property to the equivalent of its
original condition (except for obsolete equipment and ordinary wear and tear),
or such lesser condition as Ocwen may approve in writing, in the event of any
damage, injury or loss thereto, whether or not insurance proceeds are available
to cover in whole or in part the costs of such restoration or repair unless the
improvements portion of the Property are totally destroyed, insurance has been
maintained thereon as required by this Instrument and Ocwen applies the proceeds
of said insurance to the full payment of the sums secured by this Instrument;
(d) shall keep the Property, including improvements, fixtures, equipment,
machinery and appliances thereon in good repair (except for obsolete items and
ordinary wear and tear) and shall replace improvements, fixtures, equipment,
machinery and appliances in the ordinary course of Borrower's business; (e)
shall comply in all material respects with all laws, ordinances, regulations and
requirements of any governmental body applicable to the Property unless Borrower
is contesting the same in good faith and such contest does not unreasonably
jeopardize the continued operation of the Property; (f) shall keep in full force
and effect, without restriction or


                                      -9-
<PAGE>
limitation, and not allow the expiration or lapse of, and shall fully comply
with all conditions and requirements associated with all licenses, permits,
certifications and governmental approvals (including but not limited to Medicare
and Medicaid provider numbers and participation agreements and requirements of
the State of Ohio Certificate of Need Law, in the event same become applicable)
required, necessary, or desirable for the operation of the long-term care
facility constituting part of the Property hereunder, and (g) shall give notice
in writing to Ocwen of, appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting
to affect the Property, the security of this Instrument or the rights or powers
of Ocwen hereunder. Neither the Borrower nor any tenant or other person shall
remove, demolish or alter any improvement now existing or hereafter erected on
the Property or any fixture (other than trade fixtures), equipment, machinery or
appliance in or on the Property except when incident to the replacement of
improvements, fixtures, equipment, machinery and appliances with items of like
kind or additions, and except replacements or removals in the ordinary course of
the Borrower's business.

         7. USE OF PROPERTY. Unless required by applicable law or unless Ocwen
has otherwise agreed in writing, Borrower shall not allow changes in the use for
which all or any part of the Property was intended at the time this Instrument
was executed. Borrower shall not initiate or acquiesce in a change in the zoning
classification of the Property without Ocwen's prior written consent.

         8. PROTECTION OF OCWEN'S SECURITY. If Borrower fails to perform the
covenants and agreements contained in this Instrument, or if any action or
proceeding is commenced which affects the Property or title thereto or the
interest of Ocwen therein, including, but not limited to, eminent domain,
insolvency, code enforcement, or arrangements or proceedings involving a
bankrupt or decedent, then Ocwen, at Ocwen's option and after thirty (30) days
prior notice to Borrower, may make such appearances, disburse such sums and take
such action as Ocwen deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to protect Ocwen's
interests, including, but not limited to, (a) disbursement of attorney's fees;
(b) entry upon the Property to make repairs; (c) procurement of satisfactory
insurance as provided in paragraph 5 hereof; and (d) taking all action required
in order to obtain or reinstate any required, necessary or desirable licenses,
permits, approvals, or authorizations of governmental entities (including but
not limited to Medicare and Medicaid provider numbers and participation
agreements and State of Ohio or Pennsylvania Certificate of Need


                                      -10-
<PAGE>
approvals and/or authorization, in the event the foregoing become applicable).

         Any amounts disbursed by Ocwen pursuant to this paragraph 8, with
interest thereon, shall become additional indebtedness of Borrower secured by
this Instrument. Unless Borrower and Ocwen agree to other terms of payment, such
amounts shall be immediately due and payable and shall bear interest from the
date of disbursement at the Default Rate of interest stated in the Term Loan
Agreement unless collection from Borrower of interest at such rate would be
contrary to applicable law, in which event such amounts shall bear interest at
the highest rate which may be collected from Borrower under applicable law.
Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that Ocwen shall be subrogated to the lien
of any mortgage or other lien discharged, in whole or in part, by the
indebtedness secured hereby. Nothing contained in this paragraph 8 shall require
Ocwen to incur any expense or take any action hereunder.

         9. INSPECTION. Ocwen may make or cause to be made entries upon and
inspections of the Property in accordance with the terms and provisions of the
Term Loan Agreement governing such inspections.

         10. BOOKS AND RECORDS. Borrower shall keep and maintain at all times
complete and accurate books of account and records adequate to reflect correctly
the operation of the Property and copies of all written contracts, leases and
other instruments which affect the Property, including but not limited to
licenses, permits, certifications and authorizations and approvals of
governmental agencies. Such books, records, contracts, leases and other
instruments (including licenses, permits, certifications, and authorizations and
approvals of governmental agencies) shall be subject to examination and
inspection at any reasonable time by Ocwen.

         11. CONDEMNATION. Borrower shall promptly notify Ocwen of any action or
proceeding relating to any condemnation or other taking, whether direct or
indirect, of the Property, or part thereof, and Borrower shall appear in and
prosecute any such action or proceeding unless otherwise directed by Ocwen in
writing. If any Event of Default under the Loan Agreements has occurred and is
continuing, Ocwen, at Ocwen's option, may act as attorney-in-fact for Borrower
to commence, appear in and prosecute, in Ocwen's name or Borrower's name, any
action or proceeding relating to any condemnation or other taking of the
Property, whether direct or indirect, and to settle or compromise


                                      -11-
<PAGE>
any claim in connection with such condemnation or other taking. The proceeds of
any award, payment or claim for damages, direct or consequential, in connection
with any condemnation or other taking, whether direct or indirect, of the
Property, or part thereof, or for conveyances in lieu of condemnation, are
hereby assigned to and shall be paid to Ocwen.

         With the consent of Ocwen, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, Borrower may apply such awards, payments, proceeds or damages, after
the deduction of Ocwen's expenses incurred in the collection of such amounts, to
restoration or repair of the Property. Otherwise, such sums so received shall be
applied to payment of any amounts due under the Loan Agreements, under other
notes, agreements, or documents evidencing other indebtedness of Borrower to
Ocwen secured by this Instrument, or other sums secured by this Instrument, or,
if no such amounts are then due, held by Ocwen as security for Borrower's
obligations under the Loan Agreements or such other notes, agreements or
documents evidencing indebtedness secured hereby. Borrower agrees to execute
such further evidence of assignment of any awards, proceeds, damages or claims
arising in connection with such condemnation or taking as Ocwen may require.

         12. BORROWER AND LIEN NOT RELEASED. From time to time, Ocwen may, at
Ocwen's option, without giving notice to or obtaining the consent of Borrower or
Borrower's successors or assigns or of any junior lienholder or guarantor,
without liability on Ocwen's part and notwithstanding Borrower's breach of any
covenant or agreement of Borrower in this Instrument, extend the time for
payment of any amounts due under the Loan Agreements or any other indebtedness
secured by this Instrument or any part thereof, reduce the payments thereon,
release anyone liable for payment of such amounts, release from the lien of this
Instrument any part of the Property, take or release other or additional
security, reconvey any part of the Property, consent to any map or plat of the
Property, consent to the granting of any easement, join in any extension or
subordination agreement, agree in writing with Borrower to modify any term or
condition of the Loan Agreements, or other notes, documents or agreements
evidencing indebtedness of Borrower to Ocwen secured hereby, including any term
or condition relating to the payment of money. Any actions taken by Ocwen
pursuant to the terms of this paragraph 12 shall not affect the obligation of
Borrower or Borrower's successors or assigns to pay the sums secured by this
Instrument and to observe the covenants of Borrower contained herein, shall not
affect the guaranty of any person, corporation, partnership or other entity for
payment of the indebtedness secured hereby, and shall not


                                      -12-
<PAGE>
affect the lien or priority of lien hereof on the Property. Borrower shall pay
Ocwen a reasonable service charge, together with such title insurance premiums
and attorney's fees as may be incurred at Ocwen's option for any such action if
taken at Borrower's request.

         13. FORBEARANCE BY OCWEN NOT A WAIVER. Any forbearance by Ocwen in
exercising any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise afforded by applicable
law, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of any right or remedy.
The acceptance by Ocwen of payment of any sum secured by this Instrument after
the due date of such payment shall not be a waiver of Ocwen's right to either
require prompt payment when due of all other sums so secured or to declare a
default for failure to make prompt payment. The procurement of insurance or the
payment of taxes or other liens or charges by Ocwen shall not be a waiver of
Ocwen's right to accelerate the maturity of the indebtedness secured by this
Instrument. Ocwen's receipt of any awards, proceeds or damages under paragraphs
5 and 11 hereof shall not operate to cure or waive Borrower's default in payment
of sums secured by this Instrument.

         14. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Borrower shall, within 30 days of a written
request from Ocwen, furnish Ocwen with a written statement, duly acknowledged,
setting forth, to Borrower's knowledge, the sums secured by this Instrument and
any right of set-off, counterclaim or other defense which exists against such
sums and the obligations of this Instrument. Within 30 days of Borrower's
written request therefor, Ocwen shall furnish Borrower with a statement as to
(i) the amount then secured by this Instrument, and (ii) whether, to Ocwen's
knowledge, an Event of Default under the Loan Agreements has occurred or is
continuing.

         15. UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE SECURITY AGREEMENT. In addition to being a
Mortgage and Assignment of Rents, this Instrument is intended to be a security
agreement pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code for any of the items specified
above as part of the Property which under applicable law may be subject to a
security interest pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code, and Borrower hereby
grants Ocwen a first security interest in said items. Borrower agrees that Ocwen
may file this Instrument, or a reproduction hereof, in the real estate records
or other appropriate index, as a financing statement for any of the items
specified above as part of the Property. Any reproduction of this Instrument or
of any other security agreement or financing statement shall be sufficient as a
financing statement. In addition, Borrower agrees to execute and deliver to
Ocwen, upon


                                      -13-
<PAGE>
Ocwen's request, any financing statements, as well as extensions, renewals and
amendments thereof, and reproductions of this Instrument in such form as Ocwen
may reasonably require to perfect a security interest with respect to said
items. Borrower shall pay all costs of filing such financing statements and any
extensions, renewals, amendments and releases thereof, and shall pay all
reasonable costs and expenses of any record searches for financing statements
Ocwen may reasonably require. Without the prior written consent of Ocwen, except
as otherwise permitted by the Term Loan Agreement, Borrower shall not create or
suffer to be created pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code any other security
interest in said items, including replacements and additions thereto. If any
Event of Default occurs under any of the Loan Agreements, specifically including
but not limited to the Term Loan Agreement, or if a default occurs under any
other note, document or agreement given by Borrower to Ocwen in connection with
indebtedness of Borrower to Ocwen secured by this Instrument, or if Ocwen
declares all sums secured hereby immediately due and payable in accordance with
the first sentence of paragraph 25, Ocwen shall have the remedies of a secured
party under the Uniform Commercial Code and, at Ocwen's option, may also invoke
the remedies provided in paragraph 25 of this Instrument as to such items. In
exercising any of said remedies, Ocwen may proceed against the items of real
property and any items of personal property specified above as part of the
Property separately or together and in any order whatsoever, without in any way
affecting the availability of Ocwen's remedies under the Uniform Commercial Code
or of the remedies provided in paragraph 25 of this Instrument.

         16. LEASES OF THE PROPERTY. Borrower shall comply with and observe
Borrower's obligations as landlords under any leases of the Property or any part
thereof. Borrower shall furnish Ocwen with executed copies of all
non-residential leases hereafter made of all or any part of the Property, and
all non-residential leases hereafter entered into will be subject to Ocwen's
prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Borrower shall provide copies of all residential leases to Ocwen within thirty
(30) Business Days after Ocwen's request therefore. Unless otherwise directed by
Ocwen and except for non-residential leases, all leases of the Property made
after the date hereof shall specifically provide that such leases are
subordinate to this Instrument; that the tenant attorns to Ocwen, such
attornment to be effective upon Ocwen's acquisition of title to the Property;
that the tenant agrees to execute such further evidences of attornment as Ocwen
may from time to time request; and that the attornment of the tenant shall not
be terminated by foreclosure.


                                      -14-
<PAGE>
In addition, all lessees (other than lessees under residential leases) of all or
any part of the Property shall execute a Subordination, Attornment and
Non-Disturbance and Estoppel Certificate in substantially the same form attached
hereto as Exhibit B or as agreed to by Ocwen. Except for residential leases
amended, modified, executed, surrendered, or terminated in the ordinary course
of Borrower's business, Borrower shall not, without Ocwen's written consent,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, execute, modify, surrender or
terminate, either orally or in writing, any lease hereafter made of all or any
part of the Property, permit an assignment or sublease of such a lease, or
request or consent to the subordination of any lease of all or any part of the
Property to any lien subordinate to this Instrument. If Borrower becomes aware
that any tenant (other than a residential tenant) proposes to do, or is doing,
any act or thing which may give rise to any right to set-off against rent,
Borrower shall (a) take such steps as shall be reasonably calculated to prevent
the accrual of any right to a set-off against rent, (b) notify Ocwen thereof and
of the amount of said set-offs, and (c) within ten days after such accrual,
reimburse the tenant who shall have acquired such right to set-off or take such
other steps as shall effectively discharge such set-off and as shall assure that
rents thereafter due shall continue to be payable without set-off or deduction.

         17. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Each remedy provided in this Instrument is
distinct and cumulative to all other rights or remedies under this Instrument or
afforded by law or equity, and may be exercised concurrently, independently, or
successively, in any order whatsoever.

         18. TRANSFERS OF THE PROPERTY; CHANGES IN CONTROL OR OWNERSHIP OF
MORTGAGOR. Upon the voluntary or involuntary sale, lease (in violation of this
Instrument or in violation of the Term Loan Agreement), exchange, assignment,
conveyance (other than a condemnation governed by Section 11 of this
Instrument), transfer or other disposition (herein collectively called
"Disposition") of all or any portion of the Property (or any interest therein),
or a transfer of the Borrower of any interest therein prohibited by any of the
Loan Agreements, or in the event Borrower conveys to any other party a security
interest in the Property or any part thereof, or voluntarily or involuntarily
permits or suffers the Property to be further encumbered, in violation of this
Instrument (herein collectively called "Encumbrance"), then such Disposition or
Encumbrance shall be a default hereunder, and Ocwen may, at its option, enforce
any and all of its rights, remedies and recourses as set forth herein and/or in
the Loan Agreements; provided,


                                      -15-
<PAGE>
however, Ocwen shall not enforce such rights, remedies, and recourses if it
consents in writing to the Disposition or Encumbrance in question. It is
expressly agreed that in connection with determining whether to grant or
withhold such consent the determination made by Ocwen shall be conclusive and
Ocwen may require as conditions to granting such consent (a) payment of Ocwen's
reasonable attorneys' fees in connection with such Disposition or Encumbrance,
and (b) the express assumption of the payment of the indebtedness and
performance of the obligations of the Borrower by the party to whom such
Disposition will be made (with or without the release of Borrower from liability
for such indebtedness and obligations).

         19. NOTICE. Whenever notice is required to be given pursuant to the
provisions hereof, such notice shall be given at the addresses and in the manner
specified in the Term Loan Agreement.

         20. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS BOUND; AGENTS; CAPTIONS. The covenants and
agreements herein contained shall bind, and the rights hereunder shall inure to,
the respective successors and assigns of Ocwen and Borrower. In exercising any
rights hereunder or taking any actions provided for herein, Ocwen may act
through its employees, agents or independent contractors as authorized by Ocwen.
The captions and headings of the paragraphs of this Instrument are for
convenience only and are not to be used to interpret or define the provisions
hereof.

         21. GOVERNING LAW AND FORUM SELECTION; SEVERABILITY. This Instrument
shall be governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to its
conflict of law provisions. In the event of any dispute, claim or controversy
arising out of the terms or conditions of this Instrument or any of the Loan
Agreements, Borrower hereby agrees that such dispute, claim, or controversy
shall be brought and heard only in the United States District Court for the
Southern district of Ohio, Western Division, in such other federal court as
Ocwen shall select, in state court in the State of Ohio, County of Montgomery,
or in such other state court in such other county and state as Ocwen may select,
and all applicable appellate courts thereof, and Borrower hereby waives any
objection to jurisdiction, venue or forum non convenes that Borrower may have
otherwise had if this provision were not included herein. At the request of
Ocwen, made at any time, Borrower shall designate a statutory agent in any State
requested by Ocwen such that the forum selection clause of this Section 21 may
be effectuated.


                                      -16-
<PAGE>
         In the event that any provision of this Instrument conflicts with
applicable law, such conflict shall not affect other provisions of this
Instrument which can be given effect without the conflicting provisions, and to
this end the provisions of this Instrument are declared to be severable.

         22. WAIVER OF STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. To the extent permitted by law,
Borrower hereby waives the right to assert any statute of limitations as a bar
to the enforcement of the lien of this Instrument or to any action brought to
enforce any of the Loan Agreements or any other obligation secured by this
Instrument.

         23. WAIVER OF MARSHALLING. Notwithstanding the existence of any other
security interests in the Property held by Ocwen or by any other party, Ocwen
shall have the right to determine the order in which any or all of the Property
shall be subjected to the remedies provided herein. Ocwen shall have the right
to determine the order in which any or all portions of the indebtedness secured
hereby are satisfied from the proceeds realized upon the exercise of the
remedies provided herein. Borrower, any party who consents to this Instrument,
and any party who now or hereafter acquires a security interest in the Property
and who has actual or constructive notice hereof, hereby waives any and all
right to require the marshalling of assets in connection with the exercise of
any of the remedies permitted by applicable law or provided herein.

         24. ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS, CONTRACT RIGHTS, AND LICENSES AND
PERMITS; APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVER; OCWEN IN POSSESSION. Borrower hereby
absolutely and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Ocwen all the leases,
rents and revenues of the Property, including those now due, past due, or to
become due by virtue of any lease or other agreement for the occupancy or use of
all or any part of the Property, regardless of to whom the rents and revenues of
the Property are payable. Borrower hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns
and transfers to Ocwen all of the contract rights of Borrower in and under
resident agreements or occupancy agreements (quasi real property leases),
service agreements and other vendor agreements necessary, required, or desirable
for the operation of the facility that constitutes the Property secured hereby,
the foregoing assignment to be effective at any time upon Ocwen providing
written notice to Borrower. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower
also hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Ocwen all of
the rights of Borrower in, under and to all licenses, permits, certifications
and governmental approvals


                                      -17-
<PAGE>
necessary, required or desirable in connection with the operation of the
facility that constitutes the Property secured hereby (including but not limited
to Medicare and Medicaid provider numbers and participation agreements and Ohio
Certificate of Need approvals and authorizations, in the event the foregoing are
applicable), the foregoing assignment to be effective at any time upon Ocwen
providing written notice to Borrower. Although this Instrument is a present
assignment, Ocwen shall not exercise any of the rights or powers herein
conferred upon it until (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred under any of
the Loan Agreements, specifically including but not limited to the Term Loan
Agreement and specifically including but not limited to a default in the payment
of Indebtedness (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) owed to Ocwen, or a
default in performance by Borrower under any other documents, agreements or
notes provided by Borrower to Ocwen in connection therewith, or (ii) a default
occurs under this Instrument or any other instrument securing the Borrower's
obligations under the Loan Agreements, and with respect to the latter two
events, Ocwen provides written notice of same to Borrower. Borrower hereby
authorizes Ocwen or Ocwen's agents or its designee to (i) collect the aforesaid
rents and revenues and hereby directs each tenant of the Property to pay such
rents to Ocwen or Ocwen's agents; and (ii) take any action necessary to obtain
the assignment of contracts, licenses, permits, certifications or approvals
necessary, required or desirable in connection with the operation of the
facility that constitutes the Property secured hereby and hereby directs third
parties, to the extent they require Borrower's consent or approval to permit or
allow such transfers and assignment, to grant and effectuate such assignments.
Upon an event of default as hereinabove described, and without the necessity of
Ocwen entering upon and taking and maintaining full control of the Property in
person, by agent or by a court-appointed receiver, Ocwen shall immediately be
entitled to possession of all rents and revenues of the Property, and upon prior
written notice to Borrower, all contracts, licenses, permits, certifications and
approvals, as specified in this paragraph; with respect to rents, revenues, and
payments due under income-producing or income-generating contracts for Borrower,
as the same become due and payable (including but not limited to rents then due
and unpaid) and all such rents and other payments received by Borrower shall
immediately upon delivery of such notice be held by Borrower as trustees for the
benefit of Ocwen only. This paragraph may be supplemented by a separate
assignment of leases and rents instrument, and/or a separate assignment of
contracts instrument, and/or separate assignments of licenses, permits,
certifications, and approvals entered into by and between Ocwen and Borrower,
which instrument(s) shall set forth more fully


                                      -18-
<PAGE>
Ocwen's rights with respect to the leases, rents, revenue, contract rights,
licenses, permits, certifications and approvals relating to the Property.

         25. ACCELERATION; REMEDIES. If (a) Borrower is in default beyond any
applicable grace period under any of the Loan Agreements, (b) Borrower defaults
in the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of
Borrower contained in this Instrument and such default continues for a period of
30 days after written notice thereof from Ocwen to Borrower, and, in the event
that any such default (other than a monetary default) cannot be cured in such
initial 30 day period despite the exercise of all reasonable diligence by
Borrower, Borrower shall be entitled to an additional 30 days to cure such
default (not including monetary defaults) provided Borrower has commenced and
continues to diligently prosecute such cure at all times, (c) an Event of
Default under the Term Loan Agreement has occurred and is continuing beyond any
applicable grace period, or (d) Borrower is in default or in breach of any
provision, including but not limited to any payment provision, beyond any
applicable grace period, contained in any note, document or agreement given by
Borrower to Ocwen in connection with indebtedness of Borrower to Ocwen secured
by this Instrument; then, in any such event, at any time, without further demand
or notice, any and all sums secured by this Instrument shall be immediately due
and payable and, in addition to any other right or remedy which Ocwen may now or
hereafter have at law or in equity, Ocwen shall have the right and power: (a) to
foreclose upon this Instrument and the lien hereof; (b) to sell the Property
according to law at one or more sales as an entity or in parcels and at such
time and place upon such terms and conditions and after such notices thereof as
may be required by law; (c) to enter upon and take possession of the Property
and/or have a receiver appointed therefor as set forth in paragraph 24 hereof;
and (d) to effectuate the assignments of contract rights, licenses, permits,
certifications, and approvals, as described herein. If all sums secured by this
Instrument become immediately due and payable in accordance with this paragraph,
Ocwen, at Ocwen's option, may foreclose this Instrument by judicial proceeding
and may invoke any other remedies permitted by applicable law or as provided
herein. Ocwen shall be entitled to collect all costs and expenses incurred in
pursuing such remedies, including, but not limited to costs of documentary
evidence, abstracts, title reports, attorneys fees, and any and all fees and
costs associated with the (i) transfer of contracts, or obtaining new contracts,
and (ii) transfer of licenses, permits, certifications, and approvals, both of
the foregoing which are necessary, required, or desirable in connection with the


                                      -19-
<PAGE>
operation of the facility that constitutes the Property secured hereby.

         26. INDEMNIFICATION. Borrower shall protect, indemnify, defend and save
harmless Ocwen from and against all actions, claims, causes of action,
liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys fees and expenses, including those incurred in connection with
appellate, bankruptcy and post-judgment proceedings) imposed upon or incurred by
or asserted against Ocwen by reason of: (a) the terms and conditions set forth
in this Instrument; (b) ownership of the Property or any interest therein, or
receipt of any rents; (c) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of
or damage to property occurring in, on or about the Property or any part thereof
or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking
areas or streets; (d) any use, non-use or condition in, on or about the Property
or any part thereof or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property,
parking areas or streets; (e) any failure on the part of Borrower to perform or
comply with any of the terms of this Instrument; or (f) the performance of any
labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in
respect of the Property or any part thereof. The obligations of Borrower under
this paragraph 26 shall survive any termination or satisfaction of this
Instrument until the expiration of the statute of limitations of any action,
claim, cause of action, liability, cost or expense for which indemnification is
to be provided by Borrower, as set forth above.

         27. HAZARDOUS WASTE REPRESENTATION AND INDEMNIFICATION. The Borrower,
Ocwen, Medina ALF, Inc., a Florida corporation, Centerville ALF, Inc., a Florida
corporation, Shippensburg ALF, Inc., a Florida corporation, Balanced Care
Corporation, a Delaware corporation, Balanced Care at Medina, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, Balanced Care at Centerville, Inc., a Delaware corporation,
Balanced Care at Shippensburg, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Senior Care
Operators of Shippensburg, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company have
entered into the ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT, of even date
herewith, governing the relationship between Borrower and Ocwen (and other
parties) as to environmental matters affecting the Property.

         28. RELEASE. Upon payment of all sums secured by this Instrument that
are due and payable at the time of payoff of the Term Note, and upon the payment
in full of the Term Note (not including any Additional Payments that may become
due in accordance with the terms of Section 1.6 of the Term Loan


                                      -20-
<PAGE>
Agreement) and all other amounts due and owing to Ocwen under the Term Loan
Agreement at the time of payoff of the Term Note, Ocwen shall discharge this
Instrument. Borrower shall pay Ocwen's reasonable costs incurred in discharging
this Instrument.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph to the contrary, in the event
that, at the time of the payoff of the Term Note, payment is due Ocwen or any of
its Affiliates (specifically including Medina ALF, Inc., Shippensburg ALF, Inc.,
and Centerville ALF, Inc.) under the Deferred Purchase Price Note (as defined in
the Term Loan Agreement) and BCC Note (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement),
Ocwen shall not discharge or be required to discharge this Instrument until
payment in full has been made under the Term Note (not including any Additional
Payments that may become due in accordance with the terms of Section 1.6 of the
Term Loan Agreement), the Deferred Purchase Price Note and the BCC Note, and all
other amounts due and owing to Ocwen and/or such Affiliates under the Term Note,
Deferred Purchase Price Note, and BCC Note have been paid in full.

         Ocwen acknowledges that Borrower may choose to pay off the Loan by
refinancing, and Borrower agrees to provide Ocwen with thirty (30) days advance
written notice of such refinancing. Ocwen shall have such 30 days to provide
Borrower with a payoff letter and to provide to a title company or other escrow
agent a satisfaction and release of this Instrument to be held by such escrow
agent in escrow until Ocwen shall have received payment in full of the Term
Note, and if applicable, the Deferred Purchase Price Note and BCC Note. In the
event that Ocwen fails to provide a letter of payoff or provide the release of
lien of this Instrument within the time period described above, and solely as a
result of Ocwen's failure to timely respond (and not as a result of any action
or inaction by Borrower), Borrower fails to make a payment when due under the
Term Note, Ocwen may not accelerate payments due under the Term Note, or deem
payment due under the Deferred Purchase Price Note and/or BCC Note. Provided,
however, that nothing set forth above shall release Borrower and/or Balanced
Care from any obligation of Borrower or Balanced Care under the Term Note or any
Loan Documents, or under the BCC Note or Deferred Purchase Price Note, in the
event that payments are otherwise due under any of the foregoing; the intent of
the parties with respect to this paragraph being that Ocwen may not benefit from
its failure to timely respond by accelerating the Term Note based solely on such
failure, thereby causing payments to be due that would not otherwise be due
under the Deferred Purchase Price Note and BCC Note, but otherwise, the
obligations of the Borrower and/or Balanced Care under the Loan Agreements,


                                      -21-
<PAGE>
Deferred Purchase Price Note and BCC Note shall be unaffected hereby.

         29. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. OCWEN AND BORROWER HEREBY VOLUNTARILY,
IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN
RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, BETWEEN
OCWEN AND BORROWER ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL
TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED BETWEEN BORROWER AND OCWEN IN CONNECTION WITH
THIS INSTRUMENT OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT OR DOCUMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN
CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTION RELATED HERETO. THIS PROVISION IS A
MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO OCWEN TO ENTER INTO THE FINANCING TRANSACTION. IT SHALL
NOT IN ANY WAY AFFECT, WAIVE, LIMIT, AMEND OR MODIFY OCWEN'S ABILITY TO PURSUE
ITS REMEDIES CONTAINED IN THIS INSTRUMENT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT RELATED HERETO.


                                      -22-
