                                       42





<PAGE>   48





     (a) Accrual of Interest before the Optional Prepayment Date.  Before the
Stabilization Date Payment Date, interest shall accrue on the outstanding
principal balance of the Note and all other amounts due to Lender under the
Loan Documents at the Initial Interest Rate.  On and after the Stabilization
Date Payment Date, but before the Optional Prepayment Date, interest shall
accrue on the outstanding principal balance of the Note and all other amounts
due to Lender under the Loan Documents at the Stabilization Interest Rate.

     (b) Accrual of Interest on or after the Optional Prepayment Date.
Commencing on the Optional Prepayment Date, interest shall accrue on the
outstanding principal balance of the Note and all other amounts due to Lender
under the Loan Documents at the Revised Interest Rate; provided however that in
the event that the Indebtedness is paid in full on or before the sixth (6th)
Payment Date after the Optional Prepayment Date, interest shall be deemed to
have accrued at the Initial Interest Rate instead of the Revised Interest Rate.

     (c) Monthly Base Payments of Principal and Interest.  On each Payment Date
(i) prior to and including the Stabilization Date Payment Date, Borrower shall
pay to Lender a monthly payment of interest only which payment is based on the
Initial Interest Rate and (ii) after the Stabilization Date Payment Date, a
monthly constant payment of principal and interest based on the Stabilization
Interest Rate and, in each case, based on an amortization schedule of three
hundred (300) months.  Each payment required to be made by Borrower pursuant to
this Section 2.5(c) is hereinafter sometimes referred to as a "Base Payment".

     (d) Payments of Excess of Revised Interest Rate Over Stabilization
Interest Rate.  To the extent, for any period, that accrued interest at the
Revised Interest Rate exceeds interest required to be paid hereunder for such
period at the Stabilization Interest Rate (such amount, the "Accrued
Interest"), Borrower shall only be required to pay such Accrued Interest after
the outstanding principal balance of the Note has been paid in full.  Unpaid
Accrued Interest shall accrue interest at the Revised Interest Rate and shall
be computed based on the actual number of days elapsed in each year over a
360-day year.

     (e) Payment Dates.  All payments required to be made pursuant to
paragraphs (a) through (d) above shall be made beginning on the first Payment
Date immediately after the end of the second Interest Accrual Period; provided,
however, that Borrower shall pay interest for the first Interest Accrual Period
on the Closing Date.

     (f) Calculation of Interest.  Interest shall accrue on the outstanding
principal balance of the Loan and all other amounts due to Lender under the
Loan Documents commencing upon the Closing Date.  Interest shall accrue on
Accrued Interest commencing on the first Payment Date following the Optional
Prepayment Date.  Interest shall be computed on

                                       43





<PAGE>   49





the actual number of days elapsed in each year over a 360 day year.

     (g) Default Rate Interest.  Upon the earlier to occur of a Late Payment or
an Event of Default, if any, the entire unpaid amount outstanding hereunder and
under the Note will bear interest at the Default Rate for so long as such Late
Payment or Event of Default remains uncured.

     (h) Late Charge.  If Borrower fails to make any payment of any sums due
under the Loan Documents on the date when the same is due, and the same remains
unpaid after the expiration of any applicable cure period, if any, Borrower
shall pay a Late Charge.

     (i) Maturity Date.  On the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender all
amounts owing under the Loan Documents including, without limitation, interest,
principal, Late Charges, Default Rate interest, Accrued Interest and any Yield
Maintenance Premium; provided, however, Yield Maintenance Premium shall only be
due and payable if the Maturity Date occurs as a result of acceleration of the
Note.

     (j) Cash Management Fees.  After the occurrence of a Cash Management
Event, a fee shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance of the Note and
all other amounts due to Lender under the Loan Documents at a rate of .015% per
annum which fee shall be paid, by Borrower to Lender, on each Payment Date, for
the Interest Accrual Period immediately preceding such Payment Date.

     Section II.6 Prepayment.

     (a) On and after the earlier to occur of (i) the Optional Prepayment Date
or (ii) at Lender's election, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default hereunder, any date on or after such Event of Default and
during its continuance, in addition to all other payments required hereunder,
Borrower shall pay and use all Excess Cash Flow to prepay the Loan on each
Payment Date in accordance with Section 2.11(g) and Section 2.7 and, after
payment in full of the Principal Indebtedness (but not Accrued Interest or
interest thereon) to pay Accrued Interest and interest thereon and all other
amounts then owing.

     (b) If Borrower is required by Lender under the provisions of any Mortgage
to prepay the Loan or any portion thereof in the event of damage to or
destruction of, or a Taking of a Facility, Borrower shall prepay the Loan to
the full extent of the Insurance Proceeds or the Condemnation Proceeds, as
applicable, and there shall be no Yield Maintenance Premium or penalty assessed
against Borrower by reason of such prepayment.

     (c)  On and after the Optional Prepayment Date (provided no Default or

                                       44





<PAGE>   50





Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), Borrower may voluntarily
prepay the Loan in whole or in part, and there shall be no Yield Maintenance
Premium or penalty assessed against Borrower by reason of such prepayment.

     (d)  All prepayments made pursuant to this Section shall be applied in
accordance with the provisions of Section 2.7.

     (e)  Any prepayment of the Loan by Borrower shall be made on a Payment
Date.

     (f)  Borrower shall not be permitted at any time to prepay all or any part
of the Loan except as expressly provided in this Section and in Section 8.32
(regarding the Recalculated Loan Amount).

     Section II.7 Application of Payments.  Prior to the occurrence of an Event
of Default, all proceeds of any repayment, including prepayments, of the Loan
shall be applied to pay:  first, any costs and expenses of Lender, including,
without limitation, the Lender's reasonable attorney's fees and disbursements
actually arising as a result of such repayment or reasonably expended by Lender
to protect the Collateral; second, accrued and unpaid interest at the Initial
Interest Rate; third, to the Principal Indebtedness (but not to Accrued
Interest or interest thereon); fourth, to Accrued Interest and interest accrued
thereon; and fifth, any other amounts then due and owing under the Loan
Documents.  After the occurrence of an Event of Default, all proceeds of
repayment, including any payment or recovery on the Collateral shall, unless
otherwise provided in the Mortgage, be applied in such order and in such manner
as Lender shall elect in Lender's discretion.

     Section II.8 Payment of Debt Service, 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 not later
than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due, and shall be made in
lawful money of the United States of America in federal or other immediately
available funds to an account specified to Borrower by Lender in writing, and
any funds received by Lender after such time, for all purposes hereof, shall be
deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.

     (b) All payments made by Borrower hereunder or by Borrower under the other
Loan Documents, shall be made irrespective of, and without any deduction for,
any set-offs or counterclaims.

     (c) Prior to the occurrence of a Cash Management Event, Borrower

                                       45





<PAGE>   51





shall pay to the Lender or its designee, on or prior to each Payment Date, the
Required Debt Service Payment for such Payment Date, the Basic Carrying Costs
Monthly Installment for the Interest Accrual Period immediately preceding such
Payment Date and the Capital Reserve Monthly Installment for the Interest
Accrual Period immediately preceding such Payment Date.  After the occurrence
of a Cash Management Event, the Collection Account Bank, shall transfer to
Lender all amounts due under the Loan Documents (and all other amounts in the
respective Collection Accounts pursuant to the various Collection Account
Agreements and Section 2.11

     Section II.9 Taxes.  All payments made by Borrower under this Agreement
and under the other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of, and without
deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income,
stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or
withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed
by any Governmental Authority.

     Section II.10 Defeasance Requirements.

     (a) Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, commencing on the date which is two (2) years after the Start-Up
Day (but only before the Optional Prepayment Date), Borrower may voluntarily
defease (A) all of the Loan or (B) part of the Loan on a Facility-by-Facility
basis, or (C) part of the Loan on a non-Facility-by-Facility basis, but only

     (b) Any defeasance of the Loan by Borrower shall be made on a Payment
Date.

     (c) Borrower shall not be permitted at any time to defease all or any part
of the Loan except as expressly provided in this Section.

     (d) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Borrower may

pursuant to Section 5.1(p), not less than ten (10) days, and, in all other
cases, not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Lender
specifying a Payment Date (the "Defeasance Release Date") on which the payments

                                       46
<PAGE>   52





of (x) 1.35 and (y) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (calculated on the basis of

the Lender (A) a security agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to
Lender, creating a first priority perfected Lien on the deposits required
pursuant to this Section and the U.S. Obligations purchased on behalf of
Borrower in accordance with this Section (the "Security Agreement"), (B) for
execution by the Lender, a release of each relevant Mortgaged Property from the
lien of the Related Mortgage in a form appropriate for each jurisdiction in
which the relevant Mortgaged Property is located, (C) an Officer's Certificate
of Borrower certifying that the requirements set forth in this Section have
been satisfied including, without limitation, that no Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, (D) an opinion of Borrower's counsel in
form and substance satisfactory to the Lender stating, among other things, (x)
that, without qualification, the U.S. Obligations have been duly and validly
assigned and delivered to Lender and Lender has a first priority perfected
security interest in and Lien on the deposits required pursuant to this Section
and a first priority perfected security interest in and Lien on the U.S.
Obligations purchased pursuant hereto and the Proceeds thereof, and (y) that
the defeasance will not adversely affect the status of any REMIC formed in
connection with a Securitization, and (E) such other certificates, documents or
instruments as the Lender may request including, without limitation, (x)
written confirmation from the relevant Rating Agencies that such defeasance
will not cause any Rating Agency to withdraw, qualify or downgrade the
then-applicable rating on any security issued in connection with any
Securitization and (y) a certificate from an Independent certified public
accountant certifying that the amounts of the U.S. Obligations comply with all
of the requirements of this Loan Agreement.

     (e) The U.S. Obligations shall mature on or be redeemable, or provide for
payment thereon, on or prior to the Business Day immediately preceding the date
on which payments under the Note are due and payable and the proceeds thereof
shall be payable directly to the Lender.  In connection with the foregoing,
Borrower appoints the Lender as Borrower's agent for the purpose of applying
the amounts delivered pursuant to clause (d)(iv) above to purchase U.S.

     (f) If any notice of defeasance is given, Borrower shall be required to
defease the Loan (or a portion thereof if such defeasance is a partial
defeasance) on the specified Payment Date (unless such notice is revoked in
writing by Borrower prior to the date specified therein in which event Borrower
shall immediately reimburse Lender for any costs incurred by Lender in
connection with Borrower's giving of such notice and revocation).

     (g) Upon compliance with the requirements of this Section in the event of
a total defeasance of the Loan, or a partial defeasance of the Loan on a
Facility by Facility

                                       47
<PAGE>   53




basis, the relevant Mortgaged Property as to which such defeasance has been
consummated shall be released from the lien of the Related Mortgage.

     (h) In connection with a complete defeasance of the Loan, Borrower shall
assign to such other entity or entities established or designated by Borrower
(the "Successor Obligor") all of Borrower's obligations under the Note, the
other Loan Documents and the Security Agreements together with the pledged U.S.
Obligations.  The Successor Obligor shall assume, in a writing or writings
satisfactory to Lender in Lender's discretion, all of Borrower's obligations
under the Note, the other Loan Documents and the Security Agreements and, upon
such assignment Borrower shall, except as set forth herein, be relieved of its
obligations hereunder.

     (i) Nothing in this Section shall release Borrower from any liability or
obligation relating to any environmental matters arising under Sections 4.1(v)
or 5.1(d) through 5.1(i), inclusive, hereof.


     Section II.11       Central Cash Management.

     (a)  Collection Account.


     (i) Borrower shall open and maintain at the Collection Account Bank a
trust account (the "Collection Account").

     (ii) The Collection Account shall be assigned an identification number by
the Collection Account Bank and shall be opened and maintained in the name
"Nomura Asset Capital Corporation as Mortgagee of ALS-Venture II, Inc."
Borrower, each Operator, each Joint Venture and Manager shall not have any
right of withdrawal from the Collection Account.  Prior to the Stabilization
Date, Borrower shall cause (A) the Operators and, in the case of any Facility
located in Florida, the Parent to deposit all lease payments under the Operator
Leases directly into the Collection Account and shall cause all relevant checks
to be made payable to the name of the Collection Account and (B) each Joint
Venture to deposit all payments under any Joint Venture Note and all reserves
payable pursuant to any Joint Venture Mortgage directly into the Collection
Account and shall cause all relevant checks to be made payable to the name of
the Collection Account.  Following the Stabilization Date, the Borrower shall
cause the Manager to deposit all Rents, Moneys and other items of Gross Revenue
into the Collection Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof.
Without in any way limiting Borrower's obligations pursuant to the preceding
two (2) sentences, Borrower shall deposit directly into the Collection Account
all Rents, Moneys or other items of Gross Revenue received by Borrower in
violation or contradiction of the preceding two sentences within five (5)
Business Days after receipt thereof.  On a daily basis, prior to Lender's
notification to the

                                       48
<PAGE>   54





Collection Account Bank that a Cash Management Event has occurred, the
Collection Account Bank shall transfer funds in the Collection Account at the
end of such day to an account designated by Borrower.

     (iii) Borrower may designate a new financial institution to serve as the
Collection Account Bank if approved by Lender in Lender's discretion.  If the
Collection Account Bank resigns pursuant to the terms of the Collection Account
Agreement, Borrower shall replace such Collection Account Bank with a bank and
documentation acceptable to Lender prior to the date that such resignation
becomes effective pursuant to such Collection Account Agreement.

     (iv) Any failure by Borrower to deposit directly into the Collection
Account less than ninety percent (90%) of all Rents, Moneys or other items or
Gross Revenue from the Facilities shall be an Event of Default.

     (b) Payments. Prior to the occurrence of a Cash Management Event, Borrower
shall pay to Lender or Lender's designee or to an account identified by Lender
or Lender's designee on or prior to each Payment Date, the Required Debt
Service Payment for such Payment Date, the Basic Carrying Costs Monthly
Installment for the Interest Accrual Period immediately preceding such Payment
Date and the Capital Reserve Monthly Installment for the Interest Accrual
Period immediately preceding such Payment Date.  After the occurrence of a Cash
Management Event, pursuant to the Collection Account Agreement among the
Collection Account Bank, Borrower and Lender (the "Collection Account
Agreement"), Borrower will authorize and direct the Collection Account Bank to
transfer on a daily basis, all funds deposited in the Collection Account for
each Facility to Lender or Lender's designee to be held in an Eligible Account
established by Lender or Lender's designee (the "Cash Collateral Account").
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event funds in the Collection Account are
being transferred to the Cash Collateral Account pursuant to the foregoing
sentence due to the occurrence of a Cash Management Event described in clauses
(i) through (iv) of the definition of the term "Cash Management Event", on the
date which is twelve (12) months after the cure of the event which triggered
the Cash Management Event and provided no Cash Management Event exists on such
date, the funds shall not be transferred to the Cash Collateral Account and
shall be transferred in accordance with the last sentence of Section
2.11(a)(ii) until a Cash Management Event occurs in which event the funds in
the Collection Account shall be transferred to the Cash Collateral Account
pursuant to the foregoing sentence.  The Cash Collateral Account shall be under
the sole dominion and control of Lender.  Borrower, each Operator, each Joint
Venture and Manager shall have no right of withdrawal in respect to the Cash
Collateral Account.

     (c) Establishment of Sub-Accounts.  The Cash Collateral Account

                                       49
<PAGE>   55





shall contain a Debt Service Payment Sub-Account, a Basic Carrying Costs
Sub-Account, a Capital Reserve Sub-Account, a Securitization Expense
Sub-Account and an Operating Expense Sub-Account, each of which sub-accounts
(i) may be ledger or book entry accounts and need not be actual accounts
(individually, a "Sub-Account" and collectively, the "Sub-Accounts") and (ii)
shall be an Eligible Account to which certain funds shall be allocated and from
which disbursements shall be made pursuant to the terms of this Loan Agreement.

     (d) Permitted Investments.  Upon the written request of Borrower, which
request may be made once per Interest Accrual Period, Lender shall direct the
Cash Collateral Account Bank to invest and reinvest any balance in the Cash
Collateral Account from time to time in Permitted Investments as instructed by
Borrower; provided, however, that:  (i) if Borrower fails to so instruct
Lender, or if a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, Lender may direct the Cash Collateral Account Bank to invest and
reinvest such balance in Permitted Investments as Lender shall determine in
Lender's discretion; (ii) the maturities of the Permitted Investments on
deposit in the Cash Collateral Account shall, to the extent such dates are
ascertainable, be selected and coordinated to become due not later than the day
before any disbursements from the Sub-Accounts must be made; (iii) all such
Permitted Investments shall be held in the name and be under the sole dominion
and control of Lender; (iv) no Permitted Investment shall be made unless Lender
shall retain a first priority perfected Lien in such Permitted Investment and
all filings and other actions necessary to ensure the validity, perfection, and
priority of such Lien have been taken; (v) Lender shall only be required to
follow the written investment instructions which were most recently received by
Lender and Borrower shall be bound by such last received investment
instructions; and (vi) any request from Borrower containing investment
instructions shall contain an Officer's Certificate from Borrower (which may be
conclusively relied upon by Lender and its agents) that any such investments
constitute Permitted Investments.  It is the intention of the parties hereto
that all amounts deposited in the Cash Collateral Account shall at all times be
invested in Permitted Investments.  All funds in the Cash Collateral Account
that are invested in a Permitted Investment are deemed to be held in such Cash
Collateral Account for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.  Lender shall have no liability for any loss in investments of funds
in the Cash Collateral Account that are invested in Permitted Investments
(unless invested contrary to Borrower's request other than after the occurrence
of a Default or an Event of Default) and no such loss shall affect Borrower's
obligation to fund, or liability for funding, the Cash Collateral Account and
each Sub-Account, as the case may be.  Borrower and Lender agree that Borrower
shall include all such earnings and losses (other than those for Lender's
account in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence) on the Cash
Collateral Account as income of Borrower for federal and applicable state tax
purposes.  Borrower shall be responsible for any and all fees, costs and
expenses with respect to Permitted Investments.

     (e) Interest on Accounts.  All interest paid or other earnings on the

                                       50
<PAGE>   56





Permitted Investments made hereunder shall be income of Borrower and shall be
deposited into the Cash Collateral Account and shall be subject to allocation
and distribution like any other monies deposited therein.

     (f) Payment of Basic Carrying Costs, Debt Service, Capital Improvement
Costs, Securitization Expenses  and Operating Expenses.

     (i) Payment of Basic Carrying Costs.

     a. At least five (5) Business Days prior to the due date of any Basic
Carrying Cost payment, and not more frequently than once each Interest Accrual
Period, Borrower shall notify Lender in writing and request that Lender make
such Basic Carrying Cost payment on behalf of Borrower on or prior to the due
date thereof.  Together with each such request, Borrower shall furnish Lender
with copies of bills and other documentation as may be reasonably required by
Lender to establish that such Basic Carrying Cost payment is then due.  Lender
shall be entitled to conclusively rely on all bills or other documentation
received from Borrower, in each case without independent investigation or
verification.  Lender shall make such payments out of the Basic Carrying Cost
Sub-Account before the same shall be delinquent to the extent that there are
funds available in the Basic Carrying Cost Sub-Account and Lender has received
appropriate documentation to establish the amount(s) due and the due date(s) as
and when provided above.

     b. Except to the extent that Lender is obligated to pay Basic Carrying
Costs from the Basic Carrying Costs Sub-Account pursuant to the terms of this
Section, Borrower shall pay all Basic Carrying Costs with respect to itself and
the Facility in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage.  Borrower's
obligation to pay (or enable Lender to pay) Basic Carrying Costs pursuant to
this Agreement shall include, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
Impositions resulting from future changes in law which impose upon Lender or
any Deed of Trust Trustee an obligation to pay any property taxes or other
Impositions or which otherwise adversely affect Lender's or the Deed of Trust
Trustee's interests.  (In the event such a change in law prohibits Borrower
from assuming liability for payment of any such Imposition, the outstanding
Indebtedness shall, at the option of Lender, become due and payable on the date
that is one hundred twenty (120) days after such change in law; and failure to
pay such amounts on the date due shall be an Event of Default.)  If an Event of
Default has occurred, the proceeds on deposit in the Basic Carrying Costs
Sub-Account may be applied by Lender in any manner as Lender in its discretion
may determine.

     (ii) Payment of Debt Service.   At or before 12:00 noon, New York City
time, on each Payment Date during the term of the Loan, Lender shall transfer
to

                                       51
<PAGE>   57





Lender's own account from the Debt Service Payment Sub-Account an amount equal
to the Required Debt Service Payment for the applicable Payment Date.  Borrower
shall be deemed to have timely made the Required Debt Service Payment pursuant
to Section 2.8 regardless of the time Lender makes such transfer as long as
sufficient funds are on deposit in the Debt Service Payment Sub-Account at
12:00 noon, New York City time on the applicable Payment Date.

     (iii) Payment of Capital Improvement Costs.   Not more frequently than
once each Interest Accrual Period, and provided that no Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may notify Lender in writing
and request that Lender release to Borrower or its designee funds from the
Capital Reserve Sub-Account, to the extent funds are available therein, for
payment of Capital Improvement Costs.  Together with each such request,
Borrower shall furnish Lender with copies of bills and other documentation as
may be reasonably required by Lender to establish that such Capital Improvement
Costs are reasonable, that the work relating thereto has been completed and
that such amounts are then due or have been paid.  Lender shall approve or
disapprove such request within ten (10) Business Days after Lender's receipt of
such request and, if approved, Lender shall release the funds to Borrower or
Borrower's designee within ten (10) Business Days after Lender's approval.
Upon completion of the repairs and environmental remediation to the Facilities
itemized on Exhibit C hereto, Borrower may provide Lender with the
documentation described in this paragraph and subject to the terms set forth in
this paragraph, Lender shall release the remainder of the Initial Capital
Reserve Amount, to the extent such funds have not been released to Borrower.

     (iv) Payment of Securitization Expenses.   To the extent funds are
available therein to pay the amounts for which Borrower is responsible pursuant
to Section 2.13, Lender may release funds out of the Securitization Expense
Sub-Account to (a) pay such amounts or, (b) after Lender has paid all of the
amounts for which Borrower is responsible pursuant to Section 2.13, provided no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, refund to Borrower
all amounts remaining in the Securitization Expense Sub-Account.

     (v) Payment of Operating Expenses.   During each of the following periods:
(i) any period in which the Preferred Equity Holder is an equity owner in
Borrower and (ii) on and after the Optional Prepayment Date, not more
frequently than once each Interest Accrual Period and provided that no Default
or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall direct the
Cash Collateral Account Bank to, within five (5) Business Days after Lender's
receipt of an Operating Expense Certificate from Borrower, such Operating
Expense Certificate to be delivered by Borrower not more frequently than once
each Interest Accrual Period, transfer funds to Borrower or its designee from
the Operating Expense Sub-Account, to the extent that there are funds available
therein, in an amount not to exceed the amount stated in the Operating Expense
Certificate up to the Operating Expense Monthly Installment.  Together with
each such Operating Expense Certificate, Borrower shall furnish

Lender with an Officer's Certificate stating that all operating expenses from
previous periods have been paid in full and that such amounts are then due or
have been paid.

     (vi) Extra Funds for Operating Expenses.   During each of the following
periods: (i) any period in which the Preferred Equity Holder is an equity owner
in Borrower and (ii) on and after the Optional Prepayment Date, not more
frequently than once each Interest Accrual Period and provided that no Default
or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if in a given Interest
Accrual Period, Borrower requires amounts in excess of the Operating Expense
Monthly Installment (such excess amounts, "Extra Funds"), Borrower, at the time
it delivers the Operating Expense Certificate, may deliver a written request to
Lender for a disbursement of Extra Funds stating the amount of such Extra Funds
and the purpose for such amount, together with copies of bills and other
documentation as may be required by Lender to establish that such Extra Funds
operating expenses are reasonable and that such amounts are then due or
expected to become due in that month.  Lender shall approve or disapprove such
request within ten (10) Business Days after Lender's receipt of such request
and, if approved, Lender shall release the Extra Funds to Borrower or its
designee within ten (10) Business Days after Lender's approval.

     (vii) Reconciliation.   During (i) any period in which the Preferred
Equity Holder is an equity owner in Borrower and (ii) on and after the Optional
Prepayment Date, on each Payment Date Borrower shall furnish to Lender a budget
variance report reconciling the Operating Expenses shown on the Annual
Operating Budget with requested disbursements for payment of Operating Expenses
pursuant to Section 2.11(f).

     (g) Monthly Funding of Sub-Accounts.   During each Interest Accrual Period
and, except as provided below, during the term of the Loan commencing with the
Interest Accrual Period in which the Closing Date occurs (each, the "Current
Interest Accrual Period"), Lender shall allocate all funds then on deposit
(irrespective of whether such funds were transferred by the Collection Account
Bank to the Cash Collateral Account Bank or by Borrower to Lender pursuant to
Section 2.8(c)) in the Cash Collateral Account among the Sub-Accounts as
follows and in the following priority:

     (i) first, to the Basic Carrying Costs Sub-Account, until an amount equal
to the Basic Carrying Costs Monthly Installment for the Current Interest
Accrual Period has been allocated to the Basic Carrying Costs Sub-Account;

     (ii) second, to the Debt Service Payment Sub-Account, until an amount
equal to the Required Base Debt Service Payment for the Payment Date
immediately after the Current Interest Accrual Period has been allocated to the
Debt Service Payment Sub-

Account;

     (iii) third, to the Capital Reserve Sub-Account, until an amount equal to
the Capital Reserve Monthly Installment for the Current Interest Accrual Period
has been allocated to the Capital Reserve Sub-Account;

     (iv) fourth, to the Securitization Expense Sub-Account; provided, however,
that such Sub-Account shall only be funded on the Stabilization Date with a
deposit of the Initial Securitization Expense Amount;

     (v) fifth, during each of the following periods: (i) any period in which
the Preferred Equity Holder is an equity owner in Borrower and (ii) on and
after the Optional Prepayment Date, or at Lender's election, upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, any date on or after the occurrence and
during the continuance of such Event of Default, to the Operating Expense
Sub-Account, until an amount equal to the Operating Expense Monthly Installment
for the Current Interest Accrual Period has been allocated to the Operating
Expense Sub-Account; and

     (vi) sixth, provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and (ii) Lender has received all financial information described in
Section 5.1(Q) for the most recent periods for which the same are due, Lender
agrees that in each Current Interest Accrual Period any amounts deposited into
or remaining in the Cash Collateral Account after (A) the minimum amounts set
forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) above have been satisfied with
respect to the Current Interest Accrual Period and any periods prior thereto
and (B) the funding of additional reserves at levels determined by Borrower to
be prudent for working capital, Capital Improvement Costs and other Borrower
costs, which levels shall be satisfactory to Lender, in Lender's reasonable
discretion, shall be disbursed by Lender on the first Payment Date after the
end of the then Current Interest Accrual Period, at Borrower's expense, to the
Preferred Cash Collateral Account (if the Preferred Equity Holder is an equity
owner in the Borrower) or if the Preferred Equity Holder is not an equity owner
in the Borrower, to such account that Borrower may request in writing.  Lender
and its agents shall not be responsible for monitoring Borrower's use of any
funds disbursed from the Cash Collateral Account or any of the Sub-Accounts.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, on and after the
Optional Prepayment Date, any amounts deposited into or remaining in the Cash
Collateral Account after (A) the minimum amounts set forth in clauses (i),
(ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) above have been satisfied with respect to the Current
Interest Accrual Period and any periods prior thereto and (B) the funding of
additional reserves at levels determined by Borrower to be prudent for working
capital, Capital Improvement Costs and other Borrower costs, which levels shall
be satisfactory to Lender, in Lender's reasonable discretion (such remaining
amounts, the "Excess Cash Flow"), shall be allocated to the Debt Service
Sub-Account and be applied by Lender on

                                       54
<PAGE>   60





each Payment Date in accordance with Section 2.7 and shall not be disbursed to
Borrower; and further provided, however, that if an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing any amounts deposited into or remaining in the Cash
Collateral Account shall be for the account of Lender and may be withdrawn by
Lender to be applied in any manner as Lender may elect in Lender's discretion.

     If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or if on any Payment
Date the balance in any Sub-Account is insufficient to make the required
payment due from such Sub-Account, Lender may, in its sole discretion, in
addition to any other rights and remedies available hereunder, withdraw funds
from any other Sub-Account to pay such deficiency; provided, however, with
respect to any Leased Facility or any Joint Venture Facility, for so long as
the Subsidiary has not acquired an equity interest in the applicable Operator
or the applicable Joint Venture, the funds in the Basic Carrying Costs
Sub-Account and the Capital Expense Sub-Account allocable to a Leased Facility
or any Joint Venture Facility shall not be used to pay any costs other than the
Basic Carrying Costs and the Capital Expenses of the related Leased Facility or
Joint Venture Facility.  If Lender elects to apply funds of any such
Sub-Account to pay any Required Base Debt Service Payment, Borrower shall, upon
demand, repay to Lender the amount of such withdrawn funds to replenish such
Sub-Account, and if Borrower shall fail to repay such amounts within three (3)
Business Days after notice of such withdrawal, an Event of Default shall exist
hereunder.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, on the
Closing Date Borrower shall deposit (i) the Initial Basic Carrying Costs Amount
into the Basic Carrying Costs Sub-Account, (ii) the Initial Capital Reserve
Amount into the Capital Reserve Sub-Account and (iii) the Initial Debt Service
Reserve Amount into the Debt Service Reserve Sub-Account.  Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, on the Stabilization Date, Borrower
shall deposit the Initial Securitization Expense Amount into the Securitization
Expense Sub-Account.

     (h) Termination of Central Cash Management.  The obligations of Borrower
under Section 2.11 and Section 2.12 to maintain and fund the Collection Account
and the Cash Collateral Account shall terminate in their entirety and be of no
further force or effect upon the satisfaction of each of the following
conditions:  (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and is
continuing; (ii) the total defeasance of the Loan in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (iii) the release of
the Mortgage by Lender in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents; and (iv) Borrower's receipt of Lender's written
acknowledgement that the conditions described in (i), (ii) and (iii) above have
been satisfied to Lender's satisfaction.

continuing Lien on and security interest in and to, the following property,
whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising and regardless
of where located (collectively, the "Account Collateral"):

Account (including all Sub-Accounts) and all Money and Permitted Investments,
if any, from time to time deposited or held in the Cash Collateral Account;

     (ii) all of Borrower's right, title and interest in the Collection Account

after the Stabilization Date, all Rents, Money and other items of Gross Revenue
with respect to the relevant Facility shall be deposited into the Collection
Account, in accordance with Section 2.11(a), and (iii) so long as any portion
of the Indebtedness is outstanding, Borrower shall not open (nor permit Manager
or any Person to open) any other accounts for the collection of Rents, Money or

deposited into the Collection Account), other than a replacement Collection
Account approved by Lender in Lender's reasonable discretion.

     (c) Instructions and Agreements.  On or before the Closing Date, Borrower
will submit to the Collection Account Bank, the Collection Account Agreement to
be executed by the Collection Account Bank.

<PAGE>   62





Account Collateral in the form required to properly perfect Lender's security
interest in the Account Collateral to the extent that it may be perfected by
such a filing.  Borrower agrees that at any time and from time to time, at the
expense of Borrower, Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver all further
instruments, and take all further action, that Lender may reasonably request,
in order to perfect and protect the pledge, security interest and Lien granted
or purported to be granted hereby, or to enable Lender to exercise and enforce
Lender's rights and remedies hereunder with respect to, the Account Collateral.

     (e) Transfers and Other Liens.  Borrower agrees that it will not sell or

the Lien granted to Lender under this Agreement.

     (f) Lender's Reasonable Care.  Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in
the custody thereof, Lender shall not have any duty as to any Account
Collateral or any income thereon in Lender's possession or control or in the
possession or control of any agents for, or of Lender, or the preservation of
rights against any Person or otherwise with respect thereto.  Lender shall be
deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Account
Collateral in Lender's possession if the Account Collateral is accorded
treatment substantially equal to that which Lender accords Lender's own
property, it being understood that Lender shall not be liable or responsible
for (i) any loss or damage to any of the Account Collateral, or for any
diminution in value thereof from a loss of, or delay in Lender's acknowledging
receipt of, any wire transfer from the Collection Account Bank or (ii) any

respect to the Account Collateral, and do in the name, place and stead of
Borrower, all such acts, things and deeds for and on behalf of and in the name
of Borrower with respect to the Account Collateral, which Borrower could or
might do or which Lender may deem necessary or desirable to more fully vest in
Lender the rights and remedies provided for herein with respect to the Account
Collateral and to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement.  The foregoing
powers of attorney are irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

     (h) Continuing Security Interest; Termination.  This Section shall create
a continuing pledge of, Lien on and security interest in the Account Collateral
and shall

                                       57

Upon payment in full of the Indebtedness, Borrower shall be entitled to the
return, upon Borrower's written request and at Borrower's expense, of such of
the Account Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied
pursuant to the terms hereof, and Lender shall execute such instruments and
documents as may be reasonably requested by Borrower in writing to evidence
such termination and the release of the pledge and Lien hereof, provided,
however, that Borrower shall pay on demand all of Lender's expenses in
connection therewith.

     Section II.13  Securitization.  Borrower hereby acknowledges that Lender,
its successors or assigns, may sell or securitize the Loan or portions thereof
in one or more transactions through the issuance of securities, which
securities may be rated by the Rating Agencies (each, a "Securitization"; and
collectively, the "Securitizations").  Borrower agrees that it shall cooperate

each Securitization including, without limitation, by:  (i) amending or causing
the amendment of this Agreement, the documents evidencing the Class B Equity

of the Loan to the terms of similar loans underlying completed or pending
securitized transactions having or seeking ratings similar to those then being
sought in connection with the relevant Securitization; (ii) promptly and
reasonably providing such information as may be requested in connection with
the preparation of a private placement memorandum, prospectus or a registration
statement required to privately place or publicly distribute the securities in
a manner which does not conflict with federal or state securities laws; (iii)

applicable, including, without limitation, the sections entitled "Special
Considerations", "Description of the Mortgage Loan", "The Underlying Mortgaged
Properties", "The Manager", "Borrower" and "Certain Legal Aspects of the
Mortgage Loan", and such sections (and any other sections requested) insofar as
they relate to Borrower, its Affiliates, the Loan or the Facilities do 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; provided, however,
that Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Indemnified Party for any
losses relating to untrue statements or omissions which Borrower identified to
Lender in writing at the time of Borrower's examination of such memorandum or
prospectus, as applicable, and (y) indemnifying each Indemnified Party, the
Issuer and the Advisor for any losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses or
liabilities (including, without limitation, all liabilities under all
applicable federal and state securities laws) (collectively, the "Liabilities")
to which any of them may become subject (i) insofar as the Liabilities arise
out of

                                       58





<PAGE>   64





or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
material fact relating to Borrower, its Affiliates, the Loan, the Facilities,
the Class B Equity Interests, if any, and Class C Equity Interests, if any, any
Operator, any Joint Venture, the Manager or any aspect of the subject financing
or the parties directly involved therein contained in such sections or arise
out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated in such sections or necessary in order to
make the statements in such sections, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading or (ii) as a result of any untrue statement of
material fact in any of the financial statements of Borrower incorporated into
any placement memorandum, prospectus, registration statement or other document
connected with the issuance of securities or the failure to include in such
financial statements or in any placement memorandum, prospectus, registration
statement or other document connected with the issuance of securities any
material fact relating to Borrower, its Affiliates, the Facilities, the Class B
Equity Interests, if any, and Class C Equity Interests, if any, any Operator,
any Joint Venture, the Loan, the Manager and any aspect of the subject
financing necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however,
that Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Indemnified Party for any
losses relating to untrue statements or omissions which Borrower identified to
Lender in writing at the time of Borrower's examination of such memorandum or
prospectus, as applicable,and (z) agreeing to reimburse Lender, the Issuer and
the Advisor for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the
Issuer and the Advisor in connection with investigating or defending the
Liabilities; (iv) causing to be rendered such customary opinion letters as
shall be requested by the Rating Agencies for other securitizations having or
seeking ratings comparable to that then being sought for the relevant
Securitization; (v) making such representations, warranties and covenants, as
may be reasonably requested by the Rating Agencies and comparable to those
required in other securitized transactions having or seeking the same rating as
is then being sought for the Securitization; (vi) providing such information
regarding the Collateral as may be reasonably requested by the Rating Agencies
or otherwise required in connection with the formation of a REMIC; and (vii)
providing any other information and materials reasonably required in the
Securitization.  Subject to Lender's application of funds in the Securitization
Expense Sub-Account, Borrower agrees to pay on the Securitization Closing Date
and, if earlier, within thirty (30) days after the incurrence thereof, upon
demand, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs of Lender (and not previously
reimbursed by Borrower) in connection with the Securitization (or any attempt
to securitize the Loan), including, without limitation, the cost of preparing a
private placement memorandum, prospectus or registration statement, Rating
Agency fees and expenses (including ongoing surveillance fees), legal fees and
disbursements (including, without limitation, in connection with the rendering

ongoing servicing or special servicing fees, and the

                                       59





<PAGE>   65





cost of market studies and SEC filing fees (collectively, "Securitization
Costs"), provided, however, that Borrower's liability for Securitization Costs
shall not exceed the Initial Securitization Expense Amount; provided, further,
Borrower's costs and expenses in complying with the terms of this Section and
Borrower's liability for Lender's costs and expenses pursuant to Sections 3.2,
3.3 and 8.32(h) shall not exceed in the aggregate Three Hundred Seventy Five
Thousand Dollars ($375,000) exclusive of the Initial Securitization Expense
Amount.  Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Lender may, at any time on
or after the Closing Date, assign its duties, rights or obligations hereunder
or under any Loan Document in whole, or in part, to a servicer and/or a trustee
in Lender's discretion.  Nothing herein shall in any way limit Lender's right
to sell all or a portion of the Loan in a transaction which is not a
Securitization.

     Section II.14 Supplemental Mortgage Affidavits.  The Liens to be created
by Borrower's Mortgages are intended to encumber the Facility described therein
to the full extent of Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents.  Until
Borrower acquires the fee interest in a Joint Venture Facility, the Liens to be
created by the relevant Joint Venture Mortgage relating to such Joint Venture
Facility are intended to encumber such Joint Venture Facility to the full
extent of the Joint Venture's obligations under the relevant Joint Venture
Note.  As of the Closing Date, Borrower 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 Facility as a direct, or indirect, result
of applicable taxes not having been paid with respect to the Related Mortgage,
Lender may request, and 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.

     Section 2.15. Substitution of Properties.

     (a) Generally.  Borrower may, subject to the conditions in this Section,
substitute one or more properties (each a "Substitute Property" and
collectively the "Substitute Properties") for a then encumbered Facility (a
"Replaced Property" and collectively, the "Replaced Properties").  From and
after the substitution of one or more Substitute Properties in accordance
herewith, each such Substitute Property shall thereafter be deemed a Facility
under the Loan Documents, and in the case of more than one Substitute Property,
the sum of the allocated loan amounts of each of the Substitute Properties plus
each Facility which is not a Replaced Facility (the "Remaining Facilities"),
shall equal the Principal Indebtedness.  In the event of a substitution, the
Note shall remain in full force and effect, and new Loan Documents

                                       60





<PAGE>   66





encumbering the Substitute Properties (the "Substitute Loan Documents") shall
be executed and delivered by Borrower to Lender to encumber the Substitute
Properties.  Concurrently with the completion of all steps necessary to
substitute properties as provided herein, Lender shall execute or cause to be
executed all such documents requested by Borrower as are necessary or
appropriate to release all Liens granted to Lender and affecting the Replaced
Property.  Borrower shall prepare at its expense all such documents.

     (b) Substitute Property Requirements.  To qualify as a Substitute
Property, each such property must at the time of substitution:

           (1) be a property operated as an assisted living facility as to
      which Borrower will hold indefeasible fee simple title free and clear of
      any lien or other encumbrance except for Permitted Encumbrances;

           (2) Borrower shall deposit into the Cash Collateral Account
      Sub-Accounts (a) prior to a Securitization, such reserves as may be
      deemed necessary by Lender in Lender's reasonable discretion and (b)
      after a Securitization, reserves in such amounts that the Rating Agencies
      rating any Securitization confirm in writing will not result in a
      downgrade, withdrawal or qualification any of the then applicable ratings
      of the securities issued in a Securitization;

           (3) have a substantially similar quality and physical condition as
      the quality and physical condition of the Replaced Facilities at the time
      of the substitution;

           (4) when combined with the other Substitute Properties and the
      Remaining Facilities (if any) results in an overall loan to value ratio
      for the Loan (as evidenced by an Appraisal of the proposed Substitute
      Property and the proposed Replaced Property and those Appraisals of the
      other Facilities previously delivered to Lender) equal to or less than
      the lesser of: (A) the loan to value ratio on the Closing Date; and (B)
      the overall loan to value ratio of the Facilities immediately prior to
      the substitution (as evidenced by an Appraisal of the proposed Substitute
      Property and the proposed Replaced Property and those Appraisals of the
      other Facilities previously delivered to Lender).

           (5) when combined with the other Substitute Properties and the
      Remaining Facilities (if any) results in an overall Debt Service Coverage
      Ratio (calculated as of the end of the calendar month immediately
      preceding the calendar month in which the substitution is proposed to
      occur on the basis of the preceding twelve (12) calendar months) which is
      no less than the greater of: (A) 1:35 and (B) the overall Debt

                                       61




<PAGE>   67





      Service Coverage Ratio of the Facilities (calculated as of the end of the
      calendar month immediately preceding the calendar month in which the
      substitution is proposed to occur on the basis of the preceding twelve
      (12) calendar months) immediately prior to the substitution;

           (6)  have an Adjusted Net Operating Income which has not decreased
      from the Adjusted Net Operating Income for the immediately prior calendar
      year for each of the previous years for which the Facility has been
      operated, up to three (3) calendar years immediately preceding the
      substitution; and

           (7)  be an "interest in real property" as defined in Treasury
      Regulation " 1.8606-2 or any successor provision of law.

     (c) Conditions to Substitution.  In addition to the conditions in Section
2.15(b) above, substitution of any property pursuant to this Section after the
Stabilization Date shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following, all
of which shall be prepared or obtained at Borrower's expense:

           (i)  receipt by Lender and, if the Loan has been sold in a
      Securitization, the Rating Agencies of written notice thereof from
      Borrower at least sixty (60) days before the date of the proposed
      substitution (the "Substitution Date"), together with (1) written
      evidence that the property proposed to be a Substitute Property complies
      with this Section and (2) such other information, including financial
      information, as Lender (prior to a Securitization) or the Rating Agencies
      (after a Securitization) may request;

           (ii) if the Loan has been sold in to a Securitization, Lender's
      receipt of written confirmation from the Rating Agencies that the ratings
      of the securities issued in the Securitization will not be qualified,
      reduced, downgraded or withdrawn as a result of such substitution;

           (iii)  delivery to Lender of an opinion of counsel to the effect
      that the proposed substitution will not adversely affect the tax status
      of the REMIC utilized in connection with any Securitization and that the
      proposed substitution will not result in a deemed exchange pursuant to
      Section 1001 of the Code;

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

           (v)  satisfaction, with respect to each Substitute Property of all of
      the conditions precedent set forth in Article III hereof, as though the
      property to be substituted were the Facility on the Closing Date and such
      other conditions as Lender in

                                       62





<PAGE>   68





      its normal and usual due diligence and lending activities deems
      applicable to the property type being substituted.

materially adversely affect the business, operations or condition (financial or
otherwise) of Borrower, any Joint Venture, any Operator or the Manager.

operating the Facility (including capitalized leases of Equipment and vehicles)

with respect to the trade payables, are paid within thirty (30) days of the
date incurred, and other than obligations under the Mortgage and the other Loan

<PAGE>   87





terms and the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and any other federal or
state law, and no event or condition has occurred as to which Borrower would be
under an obligation to furnish a report to Lender under Section 5.1(s) where
the lack of compliance is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect

     (l) Solvency.  Borrower (i) has not entered into this Loan Agreement or
any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any
creditor, and (ii) has received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its

exceed Borrower's total liabilities, including, without limitation,
subordinated, unliquidated, or disputed liabilities or Contingent Obligations.
The fair saleable value of Borrower's assets is and will, immediately following
the execution and delivery of this Agreement, be greater than Borrower's
probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its Contingent
Obligations or its debts as such debts become absolute and matured.  Borrower's
assets do not and, immediately following the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its
business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted.  Borrower does not intend
to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including,

"affiliate" of either a "holding company" or a "subsidiary company" within the
meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended, or (iii)

and each Non-Leased Facility, free and clear of all Liens, other than the
Permitted Encumbrances applicable to such Leased Facility.  If applicable, each
Joint Venture owns good, indefeasible, marketable and insurable fee simple
title to the relevant Joint Venture Facility identified on Exhibit B is being

Encumbrances applicable to such Joint Venture Facility.  There are no
outstanding options to purchase or rights of first refusal affecting any
Facility (other than the Parent's rights (which may be exercised by the
Subsidiary) to make the Operator/JV Acquisitions).  The Permitted Encumbrances
do not and will not materially and adversely affect (i) the ability of Borrower
to pay in full all sums due under the Note or any of its other obligations in a
timely manner or (ii) the use of any Facility for the use currently being made
thereof, the operation of any Facility as currently being operated or the value

of the Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing or acquiring any "margin

with such Regulation U or any other Regulations of such Board of Governors, or
for any purposes prohibited by applicable Legal Requirements.

     (s) Financial Information.  All historical financial data concerning
Borrower, each Joint Venture, Parent and each Facility that has been delivered
by Borrower to Lender is true, complete and correct in all material respects.
Since the delivery of such data, except as otherwise disclosed in writing to
Lender, there has been no material adverse change in the financial position of
Borrower, each Joint Venture, Parent or any Facility, or in the results of
operations of Borrower.  None of Borrower, each Joint Venture or Parent has
incurred any obligation or liability, contingent or otherwise, not reflected in
such financial data which is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect on an Aggregated Facilities Basis.

     (t) Condemnation.  No Taking has been commenced or, to Borrower's
knowledge, is contemplated with respect to all or any material portion of any
Facility or for the relocation of roadways providing access to any Facility.

     (u) Utilities and Public Access.  Each Facility has adequate rights of
access to public ways and is served by adequate water, sewer, sanitary sewer

     environmental, health and safety Permits, licenses and other governmental

     Adverse Effect.

     knowledge, threatened, and no penalties arising under Environmental Laws
     have been assessed, against Borrower, any Joint Venture, any Operator, the

     or any Facility to have any environmental, health or safety permit, license
     or other authorization required under, or to otherwise comply with, any
     Environmental Law or with respect to any alleged liability of Borrower, any

          (iii) To the knowledge of Borrower after due inquiry, there have been
     and are no past or present Releases or threats of Release of any Hazardous
     Substance that are likely to form the basis of any Environmental Claim
     against Borrower, any Joint Venture, any Operator, the Manager, any
     Facility or, to Borrower's knowledge, against any Person whose liability
     for any Environmental Claim Borrower has or may have retained or assumed
     either contractually or by operation of law.

     under or pursuant to any Environmental Law with respect to any Facility

     or control of Borrower in relation to any Facility which have not been
     provided to Lender.

          (vii) No conditions exist which would require Borrower, any Joint
     Venture, any Operator, or the Manager, under any Environmental Laws to
     place a notice on any deed to any Facility with respect to the presence,
     Use or Release of Hazardous Substances at, on, in, under or from any
     Facility and no Facility has any such notice in its deed.

other procedure whereby the lien of any taxes which may be levied against such
personal property shall be assessed or levied or charged to such Facility as a
single lien.  Each Facility is comprised of one or more parcels, each of which
constitutes a separate tax lot and none of which constitutes a portion of any
other tax lot.

     (x) Assessments.  Except as disclosed in the Title Insurance Policies,
there are no pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, proposed special or
other assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting any Facility,
nor, to the knowledge of Borrower, are there any contemplated improvements to
any Facility that may result in such special or other assessments.

     (y) Mortgage and Other Liens.  Each Mortgage creates a valid and
enforceable first mortgage Lien on the relevant Facility as security for the
repayment (a) as to the Leased Facilities and the Non-Leased Facilities, of the
Indebtedness and (b) if applicable, as to each Joint Venture Facility, the Loan
Obligations (as defined in each Joint Venture Mortgage), in all cases, subject

and a security interest in, or claim to, the rights and property described
therein.  All property covered by such Collateral Security Instrument is
subject to a UCC financing statement filed and/or recorded, as appropriate, or
irrevocably delivered to an authorized agent of the Title Insurer for such
recordation or filing in all places necessary to perfect a valid first priority
Lien (except with respect to financing of Equipment or vehicles to the extent
permitted under this Loan Agreement) with respect to the rights and property
that are the subject of such Collateral Security Instrument to the extent
governed by the UCC.  All continuations and any assignments of any such
financing statements have been or will be timely filed or refiled, as
appropriate, in the appropriate recording offices.

     (z) Enforceability.  The Loan Documents executed by each of Borrower, each
Joint Venture, or the Manager in connection with the Loan, including, without
limitation, any Collateral Security Instrument, are the legal, valid and
binding obligations of each of Borrower, each Joint Venture, or the Manager,
enforceable against each of Borrower, each Joint Venture or the Manager, as
applicable, in accordance with their terms, subject only to bankruptcy,
insolvency and other limitations on creditors' rights generally and to
equitable principles.  Such Loan Documents are, as of the Closing Date, not
subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by any of
the Borrower, each Joint Venture, or the Manager, including the defense of
usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Note, the Mortgages,
or such other Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render
the Mortgages unenforceable against each of Borrower, each Joint Venture, or
the Manager, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission,
set-off, counterclaim or defense by any of the Borrower, each Joint Venture or
the Manager, including the defense of usury, and none of the Borrower, each
Joint Venture, or the Manager, has asserted any right of rescission, set-off,
counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.

limitation, liabilities or obligations in tort, in contract, at law, in equity,
pursuant to a statute or regulation, or otherwise) other than those liabilities
and obligations expressly permitted by this Agreement.

     (bb) No Prior Assignment.  As of the Closing Date, (i) Lender is the
assignee of Borrower's and, if applicable, each Joint Venture's interest under
the Leases, and (ii) there are no prior assignments of the Leases or any
portion of the Rents due and payable or to become due and payable which are
presently outstanding.

     (cc) Certificates of Occupancy.  Either Borrower or each Joint Venture,
each Operator, or the Manager, as applicable, has obtained (in Borrower's name
and/or in the name of the applicable Joint Venture, and/or in the name of the

the Facilities for the uses described in Section 3.1(a)(R), and all such
Permits are in full force and effect.  The use being made of each Facility is
in conformity in all material respects with the certificate of occupancy and/or
Permits for such Facility and any other restrictions, covenants or conditions
affecting such Facility.  Each Facility contains all Equipment necessary to use

that any of the Borrower, any Joint Venture, any Operator, or the Manager owns
or has pending, or under which Borrower, any Joint Venture, any Operator or the
Manager is licensed, are in good standing and uncontested.  There is no right
under any trademark, trade name or service mark necessary to the business of
Borrower, any Joint Venture, any Operator or the Manager as presently conducted
or as Borrower, any Joint Venture, any Operator or the Manager contemplates
conducting its  respective business.  Borrower, any Joint Venture, any Operator
or the Manager has not infringed, is not infringing, and has not received
notice of infringement with respect to asserted trademarks, trade names and
service marks of others.  To Borrower's knowledge, there is no infringement by
others of trademarks, trade names and service marks of Borrower, any Joint
Venture, any Operator or the Manager.

     (gg) Security Deposits.  There are no security deposits collected by
Borrower, any Operator, any Joint Venture or Manager with respect to any
Facility.

     (hh) Conduct of Business.  Neither Borrower nor any Joint Venture conducts
its business "also known as", "doing business as" or under any name other than
as shown on Exhibit B attached hereto.

     (ii) Title Insurance.  Each Facility is covered by either an American Land
Title Association (ALTA) mortgagee's title insurance policy, or a commitment to
issue such a title insurance policy, insuring a valid first lien on such
Facility, which is in full force and effect and is freely assignable to and
will inure to the benefit of Lender and any successor or assignee of Lender,
including but not limited to the trustee in a Securitization, subject only to
the Permitted Encumbrances.

<PAGE>   93





     (jj) Tax Fair Market Value.  Each Allocated Loan Amount with respect to
the relevant Facility does not exceed the Tax Fair Market Value of such
Facility.  If the Note is significantly modified prior to the closing date of a
Securitization so as to result in a taxable exchange under Code Section 1001,
Borrower will, if requested by Lender, represent that each Allocated Loan
Amount does not exceed the Tax Fair Market Value of the relevant Facility as of
the date of such significant modification.

     (kk) Leases.  (a) Either Borrower or the applicable Joint Venture, as
applicable, is the sole owner of the entire lessor's interest in the Leases
(other than resident care agreements) and Borrower, the relevant Operator (as
to a Leased Facility) and/or Manager are the sole owners of the entire lessor's
interest in the resident care agreements; (b) the Leases (other than resident
care agreements) are the valid, binding and enforceable obligations of Borrower
and the applicable tenant or lessee thereunder and, with respect to the
resident care agreements, the resident care agreements are the valid, binding

Lease has the benefit of a non-disturbance agreement that would be considered
unacceptable to prudent institutional lenders.

     (al) Use-Specific Representations.

           (i) Compliance with Laws.  Borrower, each Operator, each Joint
      Venture and each Facility comply in all material respects with all
      applicable federal, state and local laws, regulations, quality and safety

           (vi) Governmental Proceedings and Notices.  None of Borrower, any
     Operator, any Joint Venture, Manager or any Facility is currently the
     subject of any proceeding by any Governmental Authority, and no notice of
     any violation has been received from a Governmental Authority that would,
     directly or indirectly, or with the passage of time:

          (a) (i)  affect the ability of Borrower, any Operator, any Joint
     Venture or Manager to accept and/or retain tenants in such a manner which
     would have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) result in the imposition of a
     fine or sanction of such

                                       89

     that could have a Material Adverse Effect.

               (vii) Physical Plant Standards.  Each Facility and the use
          thereof complies in all material respects with all local, state and

     (d) Environmental Remediation.

     (i) If any investigation, site monitoring, cleanup, removal, abatement,
restoration remedial work or other response action of any kind or nature is
required pursuant to an order, directive, decree or settlement agreement of or
with any Governmental Authority or under any applicable Environmental Law
(collectively, the "Remedial Work"), because of or in connection with the (x)
past, present or future presence, suspected presence, Release or threatened
Release of a Hazardous Substance at, on, in, under or from any Facility or any
portion thereof or (y) violation of or compliance with applicable Environmental
Laws, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute to completion
all such Remedial Work.  In all events, such Remedial Work shall be commenced
within the time period ordered or directed by such Governmental Authority or
such shorter period as may be required under any applicable Environmental Law;
provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to commence such
Remedial Work within the above specified time periods: (x) if prevented from
doing so by any Governmental Authority, (y) if commencing such Remedial Work
within such time periods would result in Borrower or such Remedial Work
violating any Environmental Law, or (z) if Borrower, at its expense and after
prior notice to Lender, is contesting by appropriate legal, administrative or
other proceedings, conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the need to
perform Remedial Work, as long as (1) Borrower is permitted by the applicable
Environmental Laws to delay performance of the Remedial Work pending such
proceedings, (2) no Facility nor any part thereof or interest therein will be
sold, forfeited or lost if Borrower performs the Remedial Work being contested,
and if Borrower fails to prevail in contest, Borrower would thereafter have the
opportunity to perform such Remedial Work, (3) Lender would not, by virtue of
such permitted contest, be exposed to any risk of any civil liability for which
Borrower has not furnished additional security as provided in clause (4) below,
or to any risk of criminal liability, and no Facility nor any interest therein
would be subject to the imposition of any Lien for which Borrower has not
furnished additional security as provided in clause (4) below, as a result of
the failure to perform such Remedial Work and (4) Borrower shall have furnished
to Lender additional security in respect of the Remedial Work being contested
and the loss or damage that may result from Borrower's failure to prevail in
such contest in such amount as may be reasonably requested by Lender but in no
event less than one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the cost of such
Remedial Work and any loss or damage that may result from Borrower's failure to
prevail in such contest.

     (ii) All Remedial Work under clause (i) above shall be performed by
contractors, and under the supervision of a consulting environmental Engineer,
each approved in advance by Lender which approval will not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed.  All costs and expenses incurred in connection with such
Remedial Work shall be paid by Borrower.  If Borrower does not timely commence
and diligently prosecute to completion the

                                       94





<PAGE>   100





Remedial Work, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to), upon sixty (60) days
prior written notice to Borrower of its intention to do so, cause such Remedial
Work to be performed.  Borrower shall pay or reimburse Lender on demand for all
Advances (as defined in the  Mortgage) and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements) relating to or incurred by Lender in
connection with monitoring, reviewing or performing any Remedial Work in
accordance herewith.

     (iii) Unless otherwise required by law, Environmental Laws or any
Governmental Authority, Borrower shall not commence any Remedial Work under
clause (i) above, nor enter into any settlement agreement, consent decree or
other compromise relating to any Hazardous Substances or Environmental Laws
which is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the presence or threatened presence or Release of Hazardous
Substances at, on, in, under, from or about any Facility poses an immediate
threat to the health, safety or welfare of any Person or the environment, or is
of such a nature that an immediate response is necessary, Borrower may complete
all necessary Remedial Work.  In such events, Borrower shall notify Lender as
soon as practicable and, in any event, within three (3) Business Days, of any
action taken.

     (e) Environmental Matters; Inspection; Material Adverse Effect Qualifier.

     (i) Borrower shall not cause, allow or authorize a Hazardous Substance to
be present at, on, in, under or to emanate from any Facility, or migrate from
adjoining property onto or into any Facility, except under conditions permitted
by applicable Environmental Laws and, in the event that such Hazardous
Substances are present at, on, in, under or emanate from any Facility, or
migrate onto or into any Facility, Borrower shall cause the performance of
Remedial Work, removal or remediation of such Hazardous Substances, in
accordance with this Agreement and Environmental Laws.  Borrower shall use best
efforts to prevent, and to seek the remediation of, any migration of Hazardous
Substances onto or into any Facility from any adjoining property.

     (ii) Upon prior written notice to Borrower, any Joint Venture, any
Operator, or the Manager, Lender shall have the right at all reasonable times
to enter upon and inspect all or any portion of any Facility.  If Lender has
reason to believe that Remedial Work may be required, Lender may select or may
require Borrower to select a consulting environmental Engineer reasonably
satisfactory to Lender to conduct and prepare environmental reports assessing
the environmental condition of any Facility.  Lender shall be given a
reasonable opportunity to review any reports, data and other documents or
materials reviewed or prepared by the environmental Engineer.  The inspection
rights granted to Lender in this Section 5.1(e)

                                       95





<PAGE>   101

granted to Lender in the Loan Documents, and shall expressly include the right
(if Lender suspects that Remedial Work may be required) to conduct or require
Borrower to conduct soil borings, establish ground water monitoring wells and
conduct other customary environmental tests, assessments and audits.

     (iii) Borrower agrees to bear and shall pay or reimburse Lender, on
demand, for all sums advanced and expenses incurred (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements, but excluding internal overhead,
administrative and similar costs of Lender) relating to, or incurred by Lender
in connection with, the inspections and reports described in this Section
5.1(e) in the following situations:

           (x) If Lender has grounds to believe, at the time any such
      inspection is ordered, that there exists an occurrence or condition that
      could lead to an Environmental Claim;

           (y) If any such inspection reveals an occurrence or condition that
      could lead to an Environmental Claim; or

           (z) If an Event of Default with respect to any Facility exists at
      the time any such inspection is ordered, and such Event of Default
      relates to any representation, covenant or other obligation pertaining to
      Hazardous Substances, Environmental Laws or any other environmental
      matter.

     (f) Environmental Notices.  Borrower shall promptly provide notice to
Lender of:

     (i) any Environmental Claim asserted or threatened, in writing, by any
Governmental Authority or other Person with respect to any Hazardous Substance
at, on, in, under or emanating from any Facility, which could reasonably be
expected to impair the value of Lender's interests or have a Material Adverse
Effect;

     (ii) any Environmental Claim or proceeding, investigation or inquiry
commenced or threatened, in writing, by any Governmental Authority or Person,
against Borrower, any Joint Venture, any Operator, or the Manager, with respect
to the presence, suspected presence, Release or threatened Release of Hazardous
Substances from or onto, in or under any property not owned by Borrower,
including, without limitation, proceedings under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C.
S 9601, et seq., which could reasonably be expected to impair the value of
Lender's security interests or have a Material Adverse Effect;

                                       96





<PAGE>   102





     (iii) all Environmental Claims asserted or threatened against Borrower,
any Joint Venture, any Operator, or the Manager, against any other party
occupying any Facility or any portion thereof which become known to Borrower,
or against any Facility, which could reasonably be expected to impair the value
of Lender's security interests or have a Material Adverse Effect;

     (iv) the discovery by Borrower of any occurrence or condition on any
Facility or on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of any Facility
which could reasonably be expected to lead to an Environmental Claim against

liability for such Environmental Claim Borrower has or may have assumed or
retained either contractually or by operation of law; or

election, from participating in any such proceedings.

     (m) Perform Loan Documents.  Borrower shall observe, perform and

                                       98

     (p) Management of Mortgaged Property.  Each Facility will be managed at
all times by the Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement unless terminated
as herein provided.  Any Management Agreement shall be terminated by Borrower,
the relevant Operator or the relevant Joint Venture, as applicable at Lender's
request, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Borrower and the Manager
(i) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, (ii) if Manager commits any act
which would permit termination by Borrower, the relevant Operator or the
relevant Joint Venture, as applicable, under the Management Agreement, (iii) in
the event that, after the Stabilization Date, as of the last day of any
calendar quarter, the aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratio for all of the
Facilities, computed on the basis of the prior twelve (12) calendar months on
the remaining outstanding balance of the Loan, is less than 1.15 and remains
less than 1.15 for three (3) consecutive months computed in each case on the
basis of the prior twelve (12) months, (iv) if after the Stabilization Date as
of the last day of any calendar quarter, such Adjusted Net Operating Income for
all of the Facilities, computed on the basis of the prior twelve (12) calendar
months, is less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the Adjusted Net Operating
Income on the Stabilization Date and remains less than eighty-five percent
(85%) of the Adjusted Net Operating Income for three (3) consecutive months
computed in each case on the basis of the prior twelve (12) calendar months or
(v) upon the occurrence of a default in any payment obligation or a breach of
any other obligation of Borrower to Preferred Equity Holder.  Lender shall not
have the right to terminate any Management Agreement pursuant to clause (iii)
above, if on the first Payment Date after Lender made the determination that
Lender had the right to terminate a Manager pursuant to clause (iii) above,
Borrower defeases the Loan in accordance with the terms of Section 2.10 in an
amount sufficient to cause the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for all of the
Facilities (calculated as if such amount was actually applied to reduce the
Principal Indebtedness upon which Debt Service was paid and calculated as if
the Principal Indebtedness was reamortized on a straight-line basis (as if the
reduction had occurred) over the remaining number of months until the Maturity
Date) computed on the basis of the prior twelve (12) calendar months, to be at
least equal to 1.15.  If a manager is terminated pursuant hereto, Borrower
shall immediately seek to appoint a replacement manager acceptable to Lender in
Lender's discretion, and Borrower's failure to appoint an acceptable manager
within sixty (60) days after Lender's request of Borrower to terminate any
Management Agreement shall constitute an immediate Event of Default.  Borrower
may from time to time appoint a successor manager to manage the relevant
Facilities, which successor manager shall be approved in writing by Lender in
Lender's reasonable discretion.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any successor
manager selected hereunder by Lender or Borrower to serve as Manager (i) shall
be a reputable management company having at least seven (7) years' experience
in the management of commercial properties with similar uses as the Facilities
and in the jurisdictions in which the relevant Facility or Facilities are
located and (ii) shall not be paid management fees in excess of fees which are
market fees for comparable managers of comparable properties in the same
geographic area.

     laws and requirements referred to in Section 4.1(b)(al)(i); and

          (2) operate each Facility or cause each Facility to be operated in a
     manner such that the Licenses shall remain in full force and effect and
     such that any new or additional License that may, at any time or from time
     to time, be required pursuant to any Legal Requirements are timely obtained
     and maintained in full force and effect.

     (z) Security Deposits.  In the event Borrower determines to collect
security deposits with respect to any Facility, Borrower shall provide Lender
with notice of such determination and shall not commence the collection of such
security deposits until Borrower has executed amendments to the Loan documents
as reasonably requested by Lender to establish security deposit accounts with
the Collection Account Bank into which such security deposits shall be
deposited, to grant Lender a security interest in such security deposit account
and the proceeds thereof and to establish the procedures for withdrawal by
Borrower or funds in such security deposit accounts.

                               NEGATIVE COVENANTS

     Section VI.1  Borrower Negative Covenants.  Borrower covenants and agrees
that, until payment in full of the Indebtedness, it will not do, directly or
indirectly any of the following unless Lender consents thereto in writing:

     (a) Liens on the Mortgaged Properties.  Incur, create, assume, become or
be liable in any manner with respect to, or permit to exist, any Lien with
respect to any Facility or any portion thereof, except:  (i) Liens in favor of
Lender, and (ii) the Permitted

                                      107






<PAGE>   113





Encumbrances.

     (b) Transfer.  Except as expressly permitted by or pursuant to this
Agreement or any Mortgage, or except as otherwise approved by Lender in writing
in Lender's discretion, allow any Transfer to occur, terminate or modify any
Management Agreement, or enter into a Management Agreement with respect to any
Facility.

     (c) Other Borrowings.  Incur, except for unsecured trade payables incurred
in the ordinary course of business relating to the ownership and operation of
the Facilities and financing of Equipment or vehicles used in the ordinary
course of owning and operating the Facilities (including capitalized leases of
such Equipment or vehicles) which trade payables and Equipment or vehicles
financings do not exceed, at any time a maximum amount of One Hundred Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($150,000) for each Facility (provided, however, the aggregate
amount for all Facilities at any one time shall not exceed One Hundred Twenty
Five Thousand Dollars ($125,000) multiplied by the number of Facilities for
which Advances have been made) for all the Facilities and, with respect to the
trade payables, are paid within thirty (30) days of the date incurred, create,
assume, become or be liable in any manner with respect to Other Borrowings.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any or all of the Facilities become subject
to any Legal Requirements which results in a material delay in the Borrower's
receipt of Rents from tenants or from Third Party Payors, Borrower may enter
into a revolving accounts receivables financing relationship (a "Receivables
Loan"); provided, however, the terms of such Receivables Loan and the documents
evidencing such Receivables Loan shall be subject to the prior written approval
of the Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld and, after a Securitization, the
Lender's receipt of written confirmation from the Rating Agencies that such
Receivables Loan will not result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of
the then applicable ratings of any securities issued in connection with a
Securitization; and provided, further, the Borrower shall execute such
amendments to the Loan Documents as the Lender deems reasonably necessary in
connection with the Receivables Loan.  The lender making the Receivables Loan
shall agree to fund all proceeds of the Receivables Loan into the Collection
Account.

     (d) Change In Business.  Cease to be a Single-Purpose Entity or make any
material change in the scope or nature of its business objectives, purposes or
operations, or undertake or participate in activities other than the
continuance of its present business and activities closely related to and
compatible with assisted living; provided, however, Borrower may offer
additional services not offered on the Closing Date to the extent permitted
with respect to assisted living facilities.

     (e) Debt Cancellation.  Cancel or otherwise forgive or release any
material claim or debt owed to Borrower by any Person, except for adequate
consideration or in the ordinary course of Borrower's business.

                                      108





<PAGE>   114





     (f) Affiliate Transactions.  Enter into, or be a party to, any transaction
with an Affiliate of Borrower, except in the ordinary course of business and on
terms which are no less favorable to Borrower or such Affiliate than would be
obtained in a comparable arm's length transaction with an unrelated third
party, and, if the amount to be paid to the Affiliate pursuant to the
transaction or series of related transactions is greater than Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($50,000.00) (determined annually on an aggregate basis) fully
disclosed to Lender in advance.

     (g) Creation of Easements.  Create, or permit any Facility or any part
thereof to become subject to, any easement, license or restrictive covenant,
other than a Permitted Encumbrance.  Without limiting the generality of the
immediately preceding sentence, Borrower shall not enter into, consent to,
grant, amend, modify, restate or supplement any document, instrument or
agreement affecting, related to or impacting upon the Facility, the title
thereto or any portion or aspect thereof, including, without limitation, any
easement, reciprocal easement agreement, or any declaration of easements or
covenants which would have a Material Adverse Effect.

     (h) Misapplication of Funds.  Distribute any Rents or Money received from
Accounts in violation of the provisions of Section 2.11.

     (i) Certain Restrictions.  Enter into any agreement which expressly
restricts the ability of Borrower to enter into amendments, modifications or
waivers of any of the Loan Documents.

     (j) Issuance of Equity Interests.  Issue or allow to be created any stocks
or shares or shareholder, partnership or membership interests, as applicable,
or other ownership interests other than the stocks, shares, shareholder,
partnership or membership interests and other ownership interests which are
outstanding or exist on the Closing Date or any security or other instrument
which by its terms is convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for
stock, shares, shareholder, partnership or membership interests or other
ownership interests in Borrower.

     (k) Assignment of Licenses and Permits.  Assign or transfer any of its
interest in any Permits pertaining to any Facility, or assign, transfer or
remove or permit any other Person to assign, transfer or remove any records
pertaining to any Facility without Lender's prior written consent which consent
may be granted or refused in Lender's discretion.

     (l) Place of Business.  Change its chief executive office or its principal
place of business or place where its books and records are kept without giving
Lender

                                      109





<PAGE>   115





at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice thereof and promptly providing
Lender such information as Lender may reasonably request in connection
therewith.


     (m) Use Specific Negative Covenants:  Borrower shall not and shall not
allow any Operator, any Joint Venture, or the Manager to do any of the
following unless Lender consents thereto in writing:

          (i) transfer any License to any location other than the Facility for
     which such License was originally issued nor pledge any License as
     collateral security for any other loan or indebtedness;

          (2) rescind, withdraw, revoke, amend, modify, supplement, or otherwise
     alter the nature, tenor or scope of any License for any Facility which
     rescission, withdrawal, revocation, amendment, modification, supplement or
     other alteration would have a Material Adverse Effect;

          (3) amend or otherwise change any Facility's authorized bed capacity
     and/or the number of beds approved by the DOH which amendment or other
     change would have a Material Adverse Effect;

          (4) replace or transfer all or any part of any Facility's beds to
     another site or location;

          (5) intentionally deleted;

          (6) enter into any resident agreements with residents or with any
     other persons which deviate in any material respect from the standard form
     customarily used at any Facility; or

          (7) Intentionally deleted.

as applicable, or any SPE Equity Owner, if any, or if any proceeding for the
dissolution or liquidation of Borrower, any of Borrower's partners, members or

which can be cured by the payment of a sum of money or for thirty (30) days
after written notice from Lender or its successors or assigns, in the case of
any other default (unless otherwise provided herein or in such other Loan
Document); provided, however, that if such non-monetary default under this
subparagraph is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within such
thirty (30) day period and provided further that Borrower shall have commenced
to cure such default within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter
diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure the same, such thirty (30) day
period shall be extended for such time as is reasonably necessary for Borrower
in the exercise of due diligence to cure such default, but in no event shall
such period exceed one hundred and twenty (120) days after the original notice
from Lender;

     (xviii) if a Receivables Loan is entered into pursuant to Section  6.1(c),

          (i) a termination of any License;

                                      113

     Section VII.2  Remedies.  (a)  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
all or any one or more of the rights, powers and other remedies available to
Lender against Borrower under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgages or any of
the other Loan Documents, or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at
any time and from time to time (including, without limitation, the right to
accelerate and declare the outstanding principal amount, unpaid interest,
Default Rate interest, Late Charges, Yield Maintenance Premium and any other
amounts owing by Borrower to be immediately due and payable), without notice or
demand, whether or not all or any portion of the Indebtedness 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 Facility or all or any portion of
the Collateral.  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
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.
Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary herein, the outstanding
principal amount, unpaid interest, Default Rate interest, Late Charges, Yield
Maintenance Premium and any other amounts owing by Borrower shall be
accelerated and immediately due and payable, without any election by Lender
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 7.1(x) or
Section 7.1(xi).  Notwithstanding that this Agreement may refer to a continuing
Event of Default, and without limiting Borrower's right to cure a Default which
may, with the passage of time, become an Event of Default, Borrower shall have
no right pursuant to this Agreement to cure any Event of Default unless this
Agreement is amended by Borrower and Lender in writing.

                                      114





<PAGE>   120





     Section VII.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 Borrower pursuant to this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents executed by or with respect to Borrower,
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 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 any Default or
Event of Default shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent
Default or Event of Default or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent
thereon.  Any and all of Lender's rights with respect to the Collateral shall
continue unimpaired, and Borrower shall be and remain obligated in accordance
with the terms hereof, notwithstanding (i) the release or substitution of
Collateral at any time, or of any rights or interest therein or (ii) any delay,
extension of time, renewal, compromise or other indulgence granted by Lender in
the event of any Default or Event of Default with respect to the Collateral or
otherwise hereunder.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
Lender reserves the right to seek a deficiency judgment or preserve a
deficiency claim, in connection with the foreclosure of any Mortgage on a
related Facility, to the extent necessary to foreclose on other parts of the
Mortgaged Property and/or Mortgaged Properties.

     Section VII.4  Lender's Right to Perform.  If Borrower fails to perform
any covenant or obligation contained herein and such failure shall continue for
a period of (5) five Business Days after Borrower's receipt of written notice
thereof from Lender, without in any way limiting Section 7.1 hereof, Lender
may, but shall have no obligation to, itself perform, or cause performance of,
such covenant or obligation, and the expenses of Lender incurred in connection
therewith shall be payable by Borrower to Lender upon demand.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation to send notice to Borrower of
any such failure.

                                 MISCELLANEOUS

     Section VIII.1  Survival.  Subject to Section 4.2, this Agreement and all
covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in the
certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the execution and delivery
of this Agreement and the execution and delivery by Borrower to Lender of the
Note, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any portion of the
Indebtedness is outstanding and unpaid.  Whenever in this Agreement any of the
parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the
successors and assigns of such party.  All covenants, promises and agreements
in this Agreement contained, by or on behalf of Borrower, shall inure to the
benefit of the respective successors and assigns of Lender.  Nothing in this
Agreement or in any other Loan Document, express or implied, shall give to any
Person other than the parties and the holder(s) of the Note, the Mortgages and
the other Loan Documents, and their legal representatives, successors and
assigns, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim
hereunder.

     Section VIII.2  Lender's Discretion.  Whenever pursuant to this Agreement
or any other Loan Document, Lender exercises any right, option or election
given to Lender to approve or disapprove, or consent or withhold consent, or
any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender or is to be in Lender's
discretion, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove, consent or
withhold consent, or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory
or not satisfactory or acceptable or not acceptable to Lender in Lender's
discretion, shall (except as is otherwise specifically herein provided) be in
the sole and absolute discretion of Lender.

     Section VIII.3  Governing Law.  (a)  The proceeds of the Note delivered
pursuant hereto were disbursed from New York, which State the parties agree has
a substantial relationship to the parties and to the underlying transaction
embodied hereby, and in all respects, including, without limitation, matters of
construction, validity and performance, this Agreement and the obligations
arising hereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the
laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and performed in
such State and any applicable law of the United States of America.  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 Sec. 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law.

     (b) ANY LEGAL SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST BORROWER ARISING OUT OF
OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE INSTITUTED IN ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT

IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR
PROCEEDING. BORROWER DOES HEREBY DESIGNATE AND APPOINT CT CORPORATION SYSTEM,
1633 BROADWAY, NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10019, AS ITS AUTHORIZED AGENT TO ACCEPT AND
ACKNOWLEDGE ON ITS BEHALF SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS WHICH MAY BE SERVED IN
ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT AND AGREES

AS MAY BE DESIGNATED BY BORROWER FROM TIME TO TIME IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS
HEREOF) WITH A COPY TO BORROWER AT ITS PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES, ATTENTION:
GENERAL COUNSEL AND WRITTEN NOTICE OF SAID SERVICE OF BORROWER MAILED OR
DELIVERED TO BORROWER IN THE MANNER PROVIDED HEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED IN EVERY
RESPECT EFFECTIVE SERVICE OF PROCESS UPON BORROWER, IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR
PROCEEDING.  BORROWER (I) SHALL GIVE PROMPT NOTICE TO LENDER OF ANY CHANGED
ADDRESS OF ITS AUTHORIZED AGENT HEREUNDER, (II) MAY AT ANY TIME AND FROM TIME TO
TIME DESIGNATE A SUBSTITUTE AUTHORIZED AGENT (WHICH OFFICE SHALL BE DESIGNATED
AS THE ADDRESS FOR SERVICE OF PROCESS), AND (III) SHALL PROMPTLY DESIGNATE SUCH

     Section VIII.4  Modification, Waiver in Writing. No modification,
amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document, or consent to any departure by
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 Borrower shall entitle Borrower to any other or future
notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

     Section VIII.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 the Note, or of any other Loan Document, or any other
instrument given as security therefor, shall operate as or constitute

                                      117
<PAGE>   123





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, the Note 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, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for
failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.

     Section VIII.6  Notices.  All notices, consents, approvals and requests

     SECTION VIII.7  TRIAL BY JURY.  BORROWER AND LENDER, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
THAT THEY MAY LAWFULLY DO SO, HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR
PROCEEDING, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY TORT ACTION, BROUGHT BY ANY
PARTY HERETO WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE OR THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS.

     Section VIII.8  Headings.  The Article and Section headings in this
Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not
constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.

     Section VIII.9  Assignment.  Lender shall have the right to assign in
whole or in part this Agreement and/or any of the other Loan Documents and the
obligations hereunder or thereunder to any Person and to participate all or any
portion of the Loan evidenced hereby, including without limitation, any
servicer or trustee in connection with a Securitization.  Lender shall provide
Borrower with written notice of any such assignment; provided, however, that
such notice shall not be a condition of Lender's right to assign this Agreement
and/or any of the Loan Documents and the failure to deliver such notice shall
not constitute a default under this Loan Agreement.

     Section VIII.10  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 VIII.11  Preferences.  Lender shall have no obligation to marshal
any assets in favor of Borrower or any other party or against or in payment of
any or all of the obligations of Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, the Note
or any other Loan Document.  Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive
right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any
portion of the obligations of Borrower hereunder.  To the extent Borrower makes
a payment or payments to Lender for Borrower's benefit, 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 VIII.12  Waiver of Notice.  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 Borrower and except with respect
to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal
Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice.  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 does not
specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to
Borrower.

     Section VIII.13  Remedies of Borrower.  In the event that a claim or
adjudication is made that Lender or its agents, has acted unreasonably or
unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under this Agreement,
the Note, the Mortgages or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as
the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower
agrees that neither Lender nor its agents, shall be liable for any monetary
damages, and Borrower's sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action
seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment.  The parties hereto agree
that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably
shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.


     Section VIII.14 Exculpation.  Except as otherwise set forth in this
Section 8.14 and Section 4.2 to the contrary, Lender shall not enforce the
liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations
contained in this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgages or any of the other Loan
Documents executed and delivered by Borrower except that Lender may pursue any
power of sale, bring a foreclosure action, action for specific performance,
action for money judgment, or other appropriate action or proceeding
(including, without limitation, to obtain a deficiency judgment) against
Borrower or any other Person solely for the purpose of enabling Lender to
realize upon (a) the Collateral, and (b) the Rents and Accounts arising from
any Facility to the extent (x) received by Borrower or any Manager (or any of
their affiliates), after the occurrence of an Event of Default or (y)
distributed to Borrower or any Manager, or their respective shareholders, or
partners or members, as applicable, or affiliates during or with respect to any
period for which Lender did not receive the full amounts it was entitled to
receive as prepayments of the Loan pursuant to Section 2.6, 2.11 (all Rents and
Accounts covered by clauses (x) and (y) being hereinafter referred to as the
"Recourse Distributions") and (c)) any other collateral given to Lender under
the Loan Documents ((a), (b), and (c) collectively, the "Default Collateral");
provided, however, that any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be
enforceable only to the extent of any such Default Collateral.  The provisions
of this Section 8.14 shall not, however, (a) impair the validity of the
Indebtedness evidenced by the Loan Documents or in any way affect or impair the
Liens of the Mortgages or any of the other Loan Documents or the right of
Lender to foreclose the Mortgages following an Event of Default; (b) impair the
right of Lender to name any Person as a party defendant in any

                                      120
<PAGE>   126




action or suit for judicial foreclosure and sale under any of the Mortgages;
(c) affect the validity or enforceability of the Note, the Mortgages or the
other Loan Documents; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment
of a receiver; (e) impair the right of Lender to bring suit for any damages,
losses, expenses, liabilities or costs resulting from fraud, material
misrepresentation, intentional misrepresentation, physical waste of all or any
portion of any Facility, or wrongful removal or disposal of all or any portion
of any Facility by any Person in connection with this Agreement, the Note, the
Mortgages or the other Loan Documents; (f) impair the right of Lender to obtain
the Recourse Distributions received by any Person; (g) impair the right of
Lender to bring suit with respect to any misappropriation of security deposits
or Rents collected more than one (1) month in advance; (h) impair the right of
Lender to obtain Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds due to Lender
pursuant to the Mortgage; (i) impair the right of Lender to enforce the
provisions of Sections 4.1(v) or 5.1(d) through 5.1(i), inclusive of this
Agreement, Section 2.8 of the Mortgage or the Environmental Guaranty even after
repayment in full by Borrower of the Indebtedness; (j) prevent or in any way
hinder Lender from exercising, or constitute a defense, or counterclaim, or
other basis for relief in respect of the exercise of, any other remedy against
any or all of the Collateral securing the Note as provided in the Loan
Documents; (k) impair the right of Lender to bring suit with respect to any
misapplication of any funds; or (l) impair the right of Lender to sue for, seek
or demand a deficiency judgment against any Person solely for the purpose of
foreclosing the Mortgaged Properties or any part thereof, or realizing upon the
Default Collateral; provided, however, that any such deficiency judgment
referred to in this clause (l) shall be enforceable only to the extent of any
of the Default Collateral.  The provisions of this Section shall be
inapplicable to any Person if (i) any petition for bankruptcy, reorganization
or arrangement pursuant to federal or state law against Borrower shall be filed
by or against Borrower or consented to or acquiesced to by Borrower, (ii) if
Borrower shall institute any proceeding for the dissolution or liquidation of
Borrower, (iii) if Borrower shall make an assignment for the benefit of
creditors or (iv) if Borrower shall breach the representation and warranty in
Section 4.1(aa).  Prior to the date on which the Difference and any applicable
hedging or interest rate management brokerage costs incurred by Lender on the
Stabilization Payment Date is paid to Lender, Lender's judgment in any action
or proceeding shall not be limited to the Default Collateral and the Loan shall
be fully recourse to the Borrower and the Parent.

     Section VIII.15 Exhibits Incorporated.  The information set forth on the
cover, heading and recitals hereof, and the Exhibits attached hereto, are
hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as
if set forth in the body hereof.

     Section VIII.16 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses.  Any assignee of
Lender's interest in and to this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgages and the
other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets,
counterclaims or defenses which are

                                      121
<PAGE>   127





unrelated to the Loan, this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgages and the other
Loan Documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor, and no
such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by
Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon this
Agreement, the Note, the Mortgages and other Loan 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 Borrower.

     Section VIII.17 No Joint Venture or Partnership.  Borrower and Lender
intend that the relationship created hereunder be solely that of borrower and
lender.  Nothing herein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership,
tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender
nor to grant Lender any interest in the Mortgaged Property other than that of
mortgagee or lender.

     Section VIII.18 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets Defense.  To the fullest
extent that Borrower may legally do so, Borrower waives all rights to a
marshalling of the assets of Borrower, and others with interests in Borrower,
and of the Mortgaged Property, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in
the event of foreclosure of the interests hereby created, and agrees not to
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 any Facility
for the collection of the Indebtedness without any prior or different resort
for collection, or the right of Lender or Deed of Trust Trustee to the payment
of the Indebtedness in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.

     Section VIII.19 Waiver of Counterclaim.  Borrower hereby waives the right
to assert a counterclaim, other than compulsory counterclaim, in any action or
proceeding brought against Borrower by Lender or Lender's agents.

     Section VIII.20 Conflict; Construction of Documents.  In the event of any
conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the
Note, the Mortgages or any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this
Agreement shall prevail.  The parties hereto acknowledge that they were
represented by counsel in connection with the negotiation and drafting of the
Loan Documents and that the Loan Documents shall not be subject to the
principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same.

     Section VIII.21 Brokers and Financial Advisors.  Borrower and Lender
hereby represent that they have dealt with no financial advisors, brokers,
underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Borrower hereby agrees to
indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims,
liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind in any way relating to or arising
from a claim

                                      122

the transactions contemplated herein.  Lender hereby agrees to indemnify and
hold Borrower harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs
and expenses of any kind in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any
Person, that such Person acted on behalf of Lender in connection with the
transactions contemplated herein.  The provisions of this Section shall survive
the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the
Indebtedness.

     Section VIII.22 Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be
an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same
instrument.

     Section VIII.23 Estoppel Certificates.  Borrower and Lender each hereby
agree at any time and from time to time upon not less than fifteen (15) days
prior written notice by Borrower or Lender to execute, acknowledge and deliver
to the party specified in such notice, a statement, in writing, certifying that
this Agreement is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have
been modifications, that the same, as modified, is in full force and effect and
stating the modifications hereto), and stating whether or not, to the knowledge
of such certifying party, any Default or Event of Default has occurred, and, if
so, specifying each such Default or Event of Default; provided, however, that
it shall be a condition precedent to Lender's obligation to deliver the
statement pursuant to this Section, that Lender shall have received, together
with Borrower's request for such statement, an Officer's Certificate stating
that no Default or Event of Default exists as of the date of such certificate
(or specifying such Default or Event of Default).

Transactions are consummated, pay all Transaction Costs, which shall include,
without limitation, reasonable out-of-pocket fees, costs, expenses, and
disbursements of Lender and its attorneys, local counsel, accountants and other

                                      123
<PAGE>   129





consideration of the recitals and mutual covenants contained herein, and for
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, if Borrower (i) files with any bankruptcy court of

U.S. Code, as amended, (ii) is the subject of any order for relief issued under
Title 11 of the U.S. Code, as amended, (iii) files or is the subject of any

future federal or state act or law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other
relief for debtors, the automatic stay provided by the Federal Bankruptcy Code
shall be modified and annulled as to Lender, so as to permit Lender to exercise
any and all of its rights and remedies, upon request of Lender made on notice
to Borrower and any other party in interest but without the need of further
proof or hearing.  Neither Borrower nor any Affiliate of Borrower shall contest
the enforceability of this Section.

     Section VIII.26 Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, together with the
Exhibits hereto and the other Loan Documents constitutes the entire agreement
among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained in this
Agreement, the Exhibits hereto and the other Loan Documents and supersedes all
prior agreements, understandings and negotiations between the parties.

     Section VIII.27 Dissemination of Information.  If Lender determines at any
time to sell, transfer or assign the Note, this Loan Agreement and any other
Loan Document and any or all servicing rights with respect thereto, or to grant
participations therein or issue mortgage pass-through certificates or other
securities evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or unrated public
offering or private placement, Lender may forward to each purchaser,
transferee, assignee, servicer, participant or investor in such securities
(collectively, the "Investor") or any Rating Agency rating such securities and
each prospective Investor, all documents and information which Lender now has
or may hereafter acquire relating to the Loan, Borrower, any guarantor, any
indemnitor and any Facility, which shall have been furnished by Borrower, any
guarantor, any indemnitor, or any party to any Loan Document, or otherwise
furnished in connection with the Loan, as Lender in its discretion determines
necessary or desirable.

     Section VIII.28 Limitation of Interest.  It is the intention of Borrower
and Lender to conform strictly to applicable usury laws.  Accordingly, if the
transactions contemplated hereby would be usurious under applicable law, then,
in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document,
it is agreed as follows: (i) the

                                      124
<PAGE>   130





aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under applicable law
that is taken, reserved, contracted for, charged or received under any Loan
Document or otherwise in connection with the Loan shall under no circumstances
exceed the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law, and any excess
shall be credited to principal by Lender (or if the Loan shall have been paid
in full, refunded to Borrower); and (ii) in the event that maturity of the Loan
is accelerated by reason of an election by Lender resulting from any default
hereunder or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted
prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest may never include
more than the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law, and any
interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law,
if any, provided for in the Loan Documents or otherwise shall be cancelled
automatically as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if
theretofore prepaid, shall be credited to principal (or if the principal
portion of the Loan and any other amounts not constituting interest shall have
been paid in full, refunded to Borrower.)

     In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any
specific contingency exceeds the maximum amount allowed by applicable law,
Lender shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law (a) exclude
voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (b) amortize, prorate,
allocate and spread, in equal parts, the total amount of interest throughout
the entire contemplated term of the Loan so that the interest rate is uniform
throughout the entire term of the Loan; provided, that if the Loan is paid and
performed in full prior to the end of the full contemplated term hereof, and if
the interest received for the actual period of existence thereof exceeds the
maximum amount allowed by applicable law, Lender shall refund to Borrower the
amount of such excess, and in such event, Lender shall not be subject to any
penalties provided by any laws for contracting for, charging or receiving
interest in excess of the maximum amount allowed by applicable law.

     Section VIII.29 Indemnification.  Borrower shall indemnify and hold Lender
and each of its affiliates and their respective successors and assigns
(including their respective officers, directors, partners, employees,
attorneys, accountants, professionals and agents and each other person, if any,
controlling Lender or any of its affiliates within the meaning of either
Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Section 20 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) (each, including Lender, an
"Indemnified Party") harmless against any and all losses, claims, damages,
costs, expenses (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of outside
counsel retained by any such person) or liabilities in connection with, arising
out of or as a result of the transactions and matters referred to or
contemplated by this Agreement, except to the extent that it is finally
judicially determined that any such loss, claim, damage, cost, expense or
liability resulted directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
such Indemnified Party.  If any Indemnified Party becomes involved in any
action, proceeding or investigation in connection with any transaction or
matter

                                      125
<PAGE>   131





referred to or contemplated in this Agreement, Borrower shall periodically
reimburse any Indemnified Party upon demand therefor in an amount equal to its
reasonable legal and other expenses (including the costs of any investigation
and preparation) incurred in connection therewith to the extent such legal or
other expenses are the subject of indemnification hereunder.

     Section VIII.30 Borrower Acknowledgments.  Borrower hereby acknowledges to
and agrees with Lender that (i) the scope of Lender's business is wide and
includes, but is not limited to, financing, real estate financing, investment
in real estate and other real estate transactions which may be viewed as
adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates and
(ii) Borrower has been represented by competent legal counsel and Borrower has
consulted with such counsel prior to executing this Loan Agreement and of the
other Loan Documents.

     Section VIII.31 Publicity.  Lender shall have the right to issue press
releases, advertisements and other promotional materials describing Lender's
participation in the origination of the Loan or the Loan's inclusion in any
Securitization effectuated or to be effectuated by Lender.  Borrower and Parent
shall have the right to issue press releases regarding the Loan, subject to
Lender's prior review and written approval not be unreasonably withheld.

     Section VIII.32. Recalculation of Loan Amount.

     (a) On the Stabilization Date, Lender shall calculate a new aggregate loan
amount for Borrower (and new Allocated Loan Amounts for each Facility) for the
Principal Indebtedness then outstanding (the "Recalculated Loan Amount")
utilizing an underwriting cash flow methodology (calculated by Lender in
Lender's discretion) based upon the Underwriting NOI Criteria and a debt
service constant equal to the greater of the actual constant and ten and 07/100
percent (10.07%) and a minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio (calculated by
Lender in Lender's sole discretion) of 1.35:1; provided, however, if a Default
or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall have the
right but not the obligation to calculate a new Loan Amount; and provided,
further, Lender's obligation to calculate a new Loan Amount is subject to
completion of Lender's due diligence with respect to each Facility including
receipt of the due diligence items identified in Article III hereof as of the
Stabilization Date.

     (b) If the Recalculated Loan Amount is greater than the  Stabilization
Date Loan Amount, then, provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, (ii) Lender determines in its discretion that Borrower has as of
the Stabilization Date (or the Stabilization Date Payment Date, as applicable),
satisfied all of the other conditions precedent set forth in Article III and
all other terms and conditions of this Agreement, and (iii) Borrower has
elected, in its sole and absolute discretion, to borrow the Earn-Out Advance as
evidenced by

                                      126





<PAGE>   132





delivery of the Request for Advance specified in Section 3.2(h), then Lender
shall make the Earn-Out Advance on the Stabilization Date Payment Date in an
amount equal to the excess of (i) the Recalculated Loan Amount over (ii) the
Stabilization Date Loan Amount, but only to the extent that the aggregate
amount of the Loan after giving effect to the Earn-Out Advance does not exceed
the Maximum Facility Amount; and provided further, however, that if Lender
makes the Earn-Out Advance, Lender may, in Lender's sole discretion, adjust the
Allocated Loan Amount for any or all of the Facilities as Lender determines in
its reasonable discretion.

     (c) If the Recalculated Loan Amount is less than the Stabilization Date
Loan Amount (the excess of the Stabilization Date Loan Amount over the
Recalculated Loan Amount, the "Difference"), then Borrower may, within ten (10)
Business Days after the Stabilization Date, notify Lender of the amount which
Borrower shall prepay on the Stabilization Date Payment Date, which amount (the
"Actual Prepayment Amount") shall equal the Difference.  If Borrower fails to
provide such notice to Lender, the Actual Prepayment Amount shall be deemed to
equal zero.  If the Borrower prepays the Actual Prepayment Amount on the
Stabilization Date Payment Date, Borrower shall also pay to Lender on the
Stabilization Date Payment Date any hedging losses and breakage fees incurred
by Lender.  Any failure by Borrower to pay Lender the Actual Prepayment Amount
and any hedging losses and breakage fees incurred by Lender on the
Stabilization Date Payment Date shall constitute an immediate Event of Default.

          (i) If the Actual Prepayment Amount is zero or is less than the
     Difference, and the Unpaid Excess Loan Amount (as hereinafter defined) does
     not exceed the Amortizable Amount (as hereinafter defined), then Lender may
     convert into Class B Equity Interests a portion of the principal amount of
     the Loan in an amount (the "Class B Amount") equal to the Unpaid Excess
     Loan Amount.  As used herein, the "Amortizable Amount" shall mean that
     amount which Lender determines can be fully amortized within a five (5)
     year period, as calculated by Lender in Lender's sole discretion, and using
     among other things, a minimum debt service coverage ratio as determined by
     Lender (which ratio shall be computed by (A) determining the product of
     seventy-five percent (75%) and Lender's projection of Excess Cash Flow for
     a period of time determined by Lender, and (B) dividing that product by
     Lender's projection of the payments that would be due for such period of
     time in respect of the Class B Amount). As used herein, the "Unpaid Excess
     Loan Amount" shall mean the excess of the Difference over the Actual
     Prepayment Amount.  Lender (or its designee) shall receive Class B Equity
     Interests in the amount of the Class B Amount pursuant to documentation
     satisfactory to Lender in Lender's sole discretion, the material terms of
     which are described on Exhibit D attached hereto, and upon such conversion
     Lender (or its designee) shall be the "Preferred Shareholder" in the
     Borrower.  In addition to all other amounts due Lender, Borrower

                                      127





<PAGE>   133





     shall pay to Lender, in addition to any amounts set forth in the first
     paragraph of Section 8.32(c) above, on the Stabilization Date Payment Date,
     (x) an amount equal to any hedging losses and breakage fees incurred by
     Lender that Borrower would have been required to pay had Borrower prepaid
     the Loan in an amount equal to the Class B Amount, and (y) a fee equal to
     two percent (2%) of the Class B Amount.  Any failure by Borrower to pay to
     Lender any hedging losses and breakage fees incurred by Lender and the fee
     in connection with any prepayment or conversion pursuant to this Section on
     the Stabilization Date Payment Date shall constitute an immediate Event of
     Default.

          (ii) If the Unpaid Excess Loan Amount exceeds the Amortizable Amount,
     Lender may, at Lender's option exercisable by Lender in Lender's discretion
     and exercisable at any time, convert a portion of the Loan as set forth in
     Section 8.32(c)(i) above, and in addition to convert a portion of the
     principal amount of the Loan (in an amount (the "Class C Amount"), not to
     exceed the excess of the Unpaid Excess Loan Amount over the Amortizable
     Amount, into Class C Equity Interests pursuant to the documentation
     satisfactory to Lender in Lender's sole discretion, the material terms of
     which are described on Exhibit F.  If the Lender does not elect to exercise
     the option described in this subparagraph, then Borrower shall be required
     to prepay the Loan on the Stabilization Date Payment Date in an amount
     equal to the Difference.  If Lender exercises the option set forth herein,
     in addition to the Class B Equity Interests which Lender receives pursuant
     to clause (i) above, Lender (or its designee) shall receive Class C Equity
     Interests in an amount equal to the Class C Amount, and Warrants in
     Borrower in an amount calculated in accordance with the formula described
     in Exhibit E.  If Lender exercises the option described in this
     subparagraph, Borrower shall pay to Lender, in addition to any amounts set
     forth in Section 8.32(c)(i), on the Stabilization Date Payment Date, (x) an
     amount equal to any hedging losses and brokerage fees incurred by Lender
     that Borrower would have been required to pay had Borrower prepaid the Loan
     in an amount equal to the Class C Amount, and (y) a fee equal to two
     percent (2%) of the Class C Amount.  Any failure by Borrower to pay to
     Lender any hedging losses and breakage fees incurred by Lender and the fee
     in connection with any prepayment or conversion pursuant to this Section on
     the Stabilization Date Payment Date shall constitute an immediate Event of
     Default.

     (d) All prepayments made pursuant to this Section shall be applied in
accordance with the provisions of Section 2.7.

     (e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, if an Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, and without in any way limiting any
other right Lender may have under any Loan Document, Lender shall, in Lender's
discretion, have the right in connection with the recalculation of the Loan
Amount pursuant to this Section to require the

                                      128





<PAGE>   134





Borrower to (i) prepay the Loan in full, or (ii) convert a portion of the Loan
into Class B Equity Interests or (iii) convert a portion of the Loan into Class
C Equity Interests and Warrants or (iv) do any combination of (i), (ii) or
(iii) above, in Lender's sole discretion.

     (f) Any failure by Borrower to provide all annual financial information
that Borrower is required to provide pursuant to Section 5.1(q) when due shall
constitute an immediate Event of Default.  Any failure by Borrower to provide
any other information reasonably requested by Lender in connection with the
recalculation of the Loan amount pursuant to this Section within ten (10)
Business Days after request therefor (provided that Borrower could reasonably
provide such information within such period) shall constitute an immediate
Event of Default.

     (g) If Lender exercises any option or right to acquire equity in Borrower
pursuant to this Section, Borrower agrees (i) that the form and substance of
any such equity arrangements shall be documented, at Borrower's expense, with
documents, including, without limitation, the terms described in Exhibit D,
Exhibit E and Exhibit F, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in
Lender's sole discretion, all such documents shall be executed within ten (10)
Business Days of receipt thereof from Lender and in no event later than the
Stabilization Date Payment Date, (iii) Lender (or its designee) shall be
admitted as the Preferred Shareholder on or before the Stabilization Date
Payment Date, and (iv) any breach of (i), (ii) or (iii) shall constitute an
immediate Event of Default.  In addition, in connection with any such equity
arrangements Borrower shall and Borrower causes its affiliates to provide to
Lender any additional collateral to Lender to secure such arrangements,
including without limitation, equity pledges and guaranties, as Lender may
require in Lender's sole discretion.

     (h) On the Stabilization Date Payment Date, the Borrower shall take the
following actions with respect to the Leased Facilities and each Joint Venture
Facility, (i) as to each Joint Venture Facility, the Borrower shall acquire
from each Joint Venture fee simple title to each Joint Venture Facility; (ii)
for each Joint Venture Facility and the Leased Facilities, the Manager shall
execute a Management Agreement (in form reasonably acceptable to Lender) with
the Borrower; (iii) for each Joint Venture Facility and the Leased Facilities,
the Borrower and the Manager shall deliver a manager's subordination agreement,
in form reasonably acceptable to Lender; (iv) the Borrower shall terminate the
Operator Lease; (v) the Borrower shall execute such agreements including, but
not limited to amendments to the Loan Documents as are requested by Lender and
consistent with the restructuring of the Loan such that the Facilities are all
owned by the Borrower and the Operator Leases (other than any Operator Lease
with respect to a Facility located in Florida) are terminated; (vi) as to each
Joint Venture Facility, the Borrower shall deliver to Lender (A) mortgages,
assignment of leases, assignments of management agreements, UCC-1 financing
statements all in forms acceptable to Lender in its

                                      129





<PAGE>   135





reasonable discretion and (B) endorsements to the Title Policy issued on the
Closing Date showing fee simple title in the name of the Borrower together with
endorsements covering the foregoing described financing documents; (vii)
Borrower shall deliver to Lender such opinions of counsel as Lender shall
reasonably request; and (viii) Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses
incurred by Lender in connection with the  matters described in this paragraph
(which costs and expenses shall be subject to the cap set forth in Section
2.13).


     Section VIII.33 Cross Collateralization.  Without limitation to any other
right or remedy provided to Lender in this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents, 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 Collateral 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 Collateral will not impede Lender from subsequently or
simultaneously exercising remedies against any other Collateral, (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
and all Collateral has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon and
(v) each Facility shall be security for the performance of all of Borrower's
obligations hereunder; provided, however, (i) so long as any Joint Venture
Mortgage is outstanding, Lender shall be entitled to exercise its rights under
such Joint Venture Mortgage and the other Joint Venture Loan Documents only
upon the occurrence of an "Event of Default" under such Joint Venture Loan
Documents; and (ii) with respect to any Leased Facility or each Joint Venture
Facility, until the Subsidiary has acquired equity interests in the related
Operator or each Joint Venture, Lender shall be limited in exercising its
rights with respect to the deposits in the Basic Carrying Costs Sub-Account and
Capital Expense Sub-Account as described in the first sentence of the last
paragraph of Section 2.12(g).

     Section 8.34 Matters Concerning the Operators and Joint Ventures.

     (a) Transfers of Equity Interests in Operators and Joint Ventures.  The
parties hereto acknowledge that the Parent currently owns interests in the
Operators and each Joint Venture and anticipates that the Subsidiary will
acquire the remaining interests in the Operators and each Joint Venture such
that by the Cut-Off Date the Parent and the Subsidiary own one hundred percent
(100%) of the Operators and each Joint Venture.  The Parent and Subsidiary each
has covenanted in the Equity Pledge Agreements (A) to cause the Subsidiary to
acquire all of the interests not owned by the Parent in the Operators and Joint
Ventures (each an

                                      130





<PAGE>   136





"Operator/JV Acquisition" and collectively, the "Operator/JV Acquisitions") no
later than the Cut-Off Date and (B) provide Lender with five (5) days prior
written notice before the consummation of the acquisition of any interests in
any Operator or each Joint Venture.

     (b) Loan to Joint Ventures.  The Borrower shall lend to each Joint Venture
from the proceeds of the Closing Date Advance and any Additional Facility
Advance the Allocated Loan Amount for each relevant Joint Venture Facility
(less such Joint Venture Facility's pro rata portion of the relevant
Transaction Costs).  Each Joint Venture's obligations to repay such loan shall
be evidenced by the relevant Joint Venture Note.  Pursuant to each Collateral
Assignment, the Borrower shall pledge each Joint Venture Note and the other
Joint Venture Loan Documents to the Lender as collateral security for the Loan
Obligations.  As described in Section 2.10, each Joint Venture shall make all
payments under each Joint Venture Note into the Collection Account.

     Section 8.35 Buy-Up. On the Stabilization Date Payment Date, regardless of
the amount of the Recalculated Loan Amount, Lender shall have the option in
Lender's reasonable discretion to change the amortization schedule and to
decrease the Loan Amount (after giving effect to the resizing in Section 8.32)
in consideration for which Lender will agree to pay Borrower a buy-up payment.
All such changes shall be determined by Lender in Lender's discretion and
Borrower hereby agrees to be bound by any and all of such changes, provided
that such changes shall generally result in (i) an interest rate approximating
the Stabilization Date Interest Rate, (ii) an amortization schedule equal to
the 300 months from the Stabilization Date Payment Date to the Maturity Date,
(iii) a Loan Amount (after giving effect to any changes in this Section 8.32)
that would result in an outstanding Principal Indebtedness at the Optional
Prepayment Date (assuming all payments are timely made) equal to the
outstanding Principal Indebtedness at the Optional Prepayment Date (assuming
all payments are timely made) as if none of the changes required by this
Section 8.35 had been made, and (iv) a buy up payment payable to Borrower equal
to the excess of (a) the Loan Amount on the Stabilization Date Payment Date
(prior to giving effect to any changes required by this Section 8.35) over (b)
the Loan Amount on the Stabilization Date Payment Date (after giving effect to
any changes required by this Section 8.35).  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Lender shall not be entitled to exercise the option described in this Section
8.35 if to do so would adversely affect Parent's or Borrower's GAAP or tax
accounting reporting.  Borrower shall not be required to pay any Transaction
Costs incurred by Lender in connection with this Section 8.35.  Borrower hereby
agrees to make any and all amendments, modifications and other changes to the
Loan Documents as required by Lender in Lender's reasonable discretion in
connection with this Section 8.35.

                                   EXHIBIT G

                                UNDERWRITING NOI

     At the Stabilization Date, Lender shall determine the Adjusted Net
Operating Income of the Facilities (as determined in accordance with the terms
of this Exhibit) on a trailing 12-month basis (based on the consecutive
12-month period ending in the month immediately preceding the Stabilization
Date).

     Adjusted Net Operating Income will be calculated based on the revenues
based on the trailing twelve (12) month period subject to adjustments for:

          (a)  all Operating Expenses, including without limitation, a 
               management fee equal to the greater of actual management fees or
               five percent (5.0%) of Gross Revenue (provided, however, in no
               event shall the annual base management fees included in this
               clause (a) include any management expenses, such as, but not
               limited to, accounting expenses, marketing costs, regional and
               corporate personnel expenses and general corporate overhead, to
               the extent such expenses are actually reflected in the Net
               Operating Income);

          (b)  a reserve for capital expenditures and capital replacements 
               equal to at least $250 per bed (or such greater amount as shall 
               be indicated in the independent engineering reports);

          (c)  an adjustment for a vacancy allowance equal to the greater of
               actual vacancy or five percent (5%);

          (d)  reserves for Basic Carrying Costs and Capital Improvement Costs;

          (e)  verification of all sources of other income to determine whether
               such income is recurring; and

          (f)  any other factors or matters that may have an impact on the
               Adjusted Net Operating Income as reasonably determined by 
               Lender.

     The expenses will be based on the trailing twelve (12) month period
preceding the Stabilization Date as adjusted for any items that are
non-recurring or not supported by historical statements and for anticipated
increases.

     In determining Adjusted Net Operating Income, all pro forma adjustments to
revenue and expenses shall be approved by Lender in Lender's reasonable
discretion and shall be subject to Lender's full due diligence.

     The above underwriting assumes that there is no material adverse change
anticipated in the operations of any Facility or in the Adjusted Net Operating
Income of any Facility from the Closing Date to and including the Stabilization
Date.

     Other adjustments as determined by Lender in its discretion consistent
with its due diligence findings and prevailing market conditions.

     All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
ascribed to such terms in the Agreement.
