               WHEREAS, Borrower desires to obtain a loan (each an "Advance" and
collectively the "Loan") from Lender in the maximum principal amount of
$31,000,000 (such amount together with the Earn-Out Advance, if any, the "Loan
Amount");

               WHEREAS, Lender is willing to make the Loan on the condition that
Borrower joins in the execution and delivery of this Agreement which shall
establish the terms and conditions of the Loan; and

               WHEREAS, Lender and Borrower contemplate that all or any portion
of Lender's interest in the Loan and the Loan Documents may be assigned, in
whole or in part, by Lender to another Person, including, without limitation, to
a trustee on behalf of security holders in connection with a Securitization.

               NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the making of the Loan by
Lender, and the covenants, agreements, representations and warranties set forth
in this Agreement, the parties hereby covenant, agree, represent and warrant as

accordance with GAAP;

               "Adjusted Net Operating Income" means (calculated for the
Facilities or any Facility), for any period, the Net Operating Income for such
period reduced by (i) the Capital Reserve Amount, pro rated for the applicable
period, (ii) to the extent not reflected in the Net Operating Income, annual
base management fees, pro rated for the applicable period, equal to the greater
of (y) actual base management fees paid pursuant to the applicable Management

                                                                               3

               "Affiliate" of any specified Person means any other Person

For the purposes of this Agreement, "control" when used with respect to any
specified Person means the power to direct the management and policies of such
Person, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting
securities or other beneficial interests, by contract or otherwise; and the
terms "controls", "controlling" and "controlled" have the meanings correlative
to the foregoing.

to time hereafter be modified, supplemented or amended.

               "Allocated Loan Amount" means (i) prior to the Stabilization

respect to which the proceeds were received shall, at Lender's sole discretion,
be reduced to zero (such Allocated Loan Amount prior to reduction being referred
to as the "Withdrawn Allocated Amount"), and each other Allocated Loan Amount
shall, if the Withdrawn Allocated Amount exceeds the proceeds (such excess being
referred to as the "Proceeds Deficiency"), be increased by an amount equal to
the product of (1) the Proceeds Deficiency and (2) a fraction, the numerator of
which is the applicable Allocated Loan Amount (prior to the adjustment in
question) and the denominator of which is the

                             (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, 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".

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, based on a
360-day year, compounded monthly .

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

                             (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.

                             (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 2.11  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 I, Inc." Borrower, each Operator, the 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
the 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)
the Joint Venture to deposit all payments under the Joint Venture Note and all
reserves payable pursuant to the 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 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

                                                                              52

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, the
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 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


<PAGE>   57




                                                                              53

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.

                                                                              54

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


<PAGE>   59




                                                                              55

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 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.

                                                                              56



                             (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


<PAGE>   61




                                                                              57

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


<PAGE>   62




                                                                              58


(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 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 the Joint Venture Facility, for so long as the
Subsidiary has not acquired an equity interest in the applicable Operator or the
Joint Venture, the funds in the Basic Carrying Costs Sub-Account and the Capital
Expense Sub-Account allocable to a Leased Facility or the 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 


<PAGE>   63




                                                                              59

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.

                  Section 2.12  Security Agreement.

                      (a) Pledge of Accounts. To secure the full and punctual
payment and performance of all of the Indebtedness, Borrower hereby sells,
assigns, conveys, pledges and transfers to Lender and grants to Lender a first
and 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"):

                             (i) all of Borrower's right, title and interest in
the Cash 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 and all Money, if any, from time to time deposited or
held in the Collection Account;

                             (iii) all interest, dividends, Money, Instruments
and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise payable
in respect of, or in exchange for, any of the foregoing; and


<PAGE>   64




                                                                              60


                             (iv) to the extent not covered by clauses (i),
(ii), or (iii) above, all Proceeds and products of any or all of the foregoing.

                      (b) Covenants. Borrower covenants that (i) prior to the
Stabilization Date all Rents, Money and other items of Gross Revenue payable
pursuant to the Joint Venture Note, the Joint Venture Mortgage or the Operator
Leases shall be deposited into the Collection Account, in accordance with
Section 2.11(a), (ii) 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 other items of Gross Revenue (to the extent such sums are
required to be 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.

                      (d) Financing Statements; Further Assurances. Borrower
will execute and deliver to Lender for filing a financing statement or
statements in connection with the 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 otherwise dispose of any of the Account Collateral other than
pursuant to the terms hereof and of the other Loan Documents, or create or
permit to exist any Lien upon or with respect to all or any of the Account
Collateral, except for 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


<PAGE>   65




                                                                              61

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

Bank or (ii) any loss, damage or diminution in value by reason of the act or
omission of Lender, or Lender's agents, employees or bailees, other than for

                                                                              64



($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 2.14 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 the Joint Venture Facility, the
Liens to be created by the Joint Venture Mortgage relating to the Joint Venture
Facility are intended to encumber the Joint Venture Facility to the full extent
of the Joint Venture's obligations under the 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 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

                                                                              65


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 






<PAGE>   70




                                                                              66




         overall Debt 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 Section 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

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

                                   ARTICLE IV

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

                  Section 4.1 Representations and Warranties of Borrower.

                           (a) Organization. Each Borrower, Operator and Joint
Venture (i) is a duly organized and validly existing Entity in good standing
under the laws of the State of its formation, (ii) is duly qualified as a
foreign Entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business, the
relevant Facility or any of the Collateral makes such qualification necessary or
desirable, (iii) has the requisite Entity power and authority to carry on its
business as now being conducted, and (iv) has the requisite Entity power to
execute and deliver, and perform its obligations under, the Loan Documents to
which it is a party, if any.

                           (b) Authorization. The execution and delivery by
Borrower of the Loan Documents, Borrower's performance of its obligations
thereunder and the creation of the security interests and Liens provided for in
the Loan Documents (i) have been duly authorized by all requisite Entity action
on the part of Borrower, (ii) will not violate any provision of any applicable
Legal Requirements, any order, writ, decree, injunction or demand of any court
or other Governmental Authority, any organizational document of Borrower or any
material indenture or agreement or other instrument to which Borrower is a party
or by which Borrower is bound, (iii) will not be in conflict with, result in a
breach of, or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default
under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien of any nature
whatsoever upon any of the property or assets of Borrower pursuant to, any
material indenture or agreement or instrument, and (iv) have been duly executed
and delivered by Borrower. Except for those obtained or filed on or prior to the
Closing Date, Borrower is not required to obtain any consent, approval or
authorization from, or to file any declaration or statement with, any
Governmental Authority or other agency in connection with or as a condition to
the execution, delivery or performance of the Loan Documents. The Loan Documents
to which Borrower or any Manager is a party have been duly authorized, executed
and delivered by such parties.

                                                                              77

                           (c) Single-Purpose Entity.

                               (i) Borrower has been, and will continue to be, a
duly formed and existing Entity, and a Single-Purpose Entity.

                               (ii) Each SPE Equity Owner at all times since its
formation has been, and will continue to be, a duly formed and existing
corporation in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation
and a Single-Purpose Entity, is duly qualified as a foreign entity in each other
jurisdiction in which the nature of its business, any Facility or any of the
Collateral makes such qualification necessary or desirable, and Borrower will
take no action to cause any SPE Equity Owner not to be a duly formed and
existing corporation in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
formation and a Single-Purpose Entity.

                               (iii) Borrower at all times since its formation
has complied, and will continue to comply, with the provisions of all of its
organizational documents, and the laws of the state in which Borrower was formed
relating to the Entity.

                           (d) Litigation. There are no actions, suits or
proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority or other
agency now pending and served or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened
against Borrower, any Operator, the Joint Venture, any SPE Equity Owner, Manager
or any Facility which, if adversely determined, is reasonably likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect on an Aggregated Facilities Basis.

                           (e) Agreements. None of the Borrower, any Operator,
the Joint Venture, or the Manager is a party to any agreement or instrument or
subject to any restriction which is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
None of the Borrower, any Operator, the Joint Venture, or the Manager is in
default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations,
covenants or conditions contained in any indenture, agreement or instrument to
which it is a party or by which Borrower, the Joint Venture, any Operator, the
Manager or any Facility is bound where such default is reasonably likely to have
a Material Adverse Effect on an Aggregated Facilities Basis.

                           (f) No Bankruptcy Filing. Neither Borrower nor any
Operator, the Joint Venture, or the Manager is contemplating either the filing
of a petition by such entity under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency
laws or the liquidation of all or a major portion of such entity's assets or
property, and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing
of any such petition against any such entity.

                                                                              78


                           (g) Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of
fact made by or on behalf of Borrower, the Joint Venture, any Operator, or the
Manager in the Loan Documents or in any other document or certificate delivered
to Lender by Borrower, the Joint Venture, any Operator or the Manager contains
any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact
necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There
is no fact presently known to Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender
which materially adversely affects, nor as far as Borrower can foresee, is
likely to materially adversely affect the business, operations or condition
(financial or otherwise) of Borrower, the Joint Venture, any Operator or the
Manager.

                           (h) Location of Chief Executive Offices. The location
of Borrower's principal place of business and the location of Borrower's chief
executive office is the address listed in the first paragraph of this Agreement,
and Borrower has no other places of business, except for the Facilities which
have the addresses shown on Exhibit B.

                           (i) Compliance. Borrower, the Joint Venture, each
Operator, the Manager, each Facility and Borrower's, the Joint Venture's, each
Operator's and the Manager's use thereof and operations thereat comply in all
material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements and all Insurance
Requirements. Borrower, the Joint Venture, each Operator, and the Manager are
not in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of
any Governmental Authority, the violation of which is reasonably likely to have
a Material Adverse Effect.

                           (j) Other Debt and Obligations. Borrower has no
financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan
agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party, or by
which Borrower or any Facility is bound, other than unsecured trade payables
incurred in the ordinary course of business relating to the ownership and
operation of such Facility and financing Equipment or vehicles used in the
ordinary course of owning and operating the Facility (including capitalized
leases of Equipment and vehicles) which trade payables and Equipment and
vehicles financing do not exceed 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 Million Two Hundred
Fifty Thousand Dollars ($1,250,000)) and, 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 Documents. Borrower has not
borrowed or received other debt financing (other than as permitted above) that
has not been heretofore repaid in full and Borrower has no known material
contingent liabilities.



<PAGE>   83




                                                                              79


                           (k) ERISA. Each Plan and, to the knowledge of
Borrower, each Multiemployer Plan, is in compliance with, and has been
administered in compliance with, its 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 on an Aggregated Facilities Basis.

                           (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 obligations under the Loan Documents. Giving effect to the
transactions contemplated hereby, the fair saleable value of Borrower's assets
exceeds and will, immediately following the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, 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, without
limitation, Contingent Obligations and other commitments) beyond its ability to
pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts to be
payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower).

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

                           (n) Investment Company Act; Public Utility Holding
Company Act. Borrower is not (i) an "investment company" or a company
"controlled" by an "investment company," within the meaning of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, (ii) a "holding company" or a "subsidiary
company" of a "holding company" or an "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) subject to any other federal or state
law or regulation which purports to restrict or regulate its ability to borrow
money.

                           (o) No Defaults. No Default or Event of Default
exists under or with respect to any Loan Document.



<PAGE>   84




                                                                              80


                           (p) Labor Matters. None of Borrower, the Joint
Venture or any Operator is not a party to any collective bargaining agreements.

                           (q) Title to the Mortgaged Properties. Borrower owns
good, indefeasible, marketable and insurable fee simple title to each Leased
Facility, free and clear of all Liens, other than the Permitted Encumbrances
applicable to such Leased Facility. The Joint Venture owns good, indefeasible,
marketable and insurable fee simple title to the Joint Venture Facility, free
and clear of all Liens, other than Permitted 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 any Facility.

                           (r) Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations. Borrower
will use the proceeds of the Loan for the purposes described in Section 2.2. No
part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing or
acquiring any "margin stock" within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System or for any other purpose which would be
inconsistent 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, the 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, the Joint Venture, Parent or any Facility, or in
the results of operations of Borrower. None of Borrower, the 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.



<PAGE>   85




                                                                              81

 
                           (u) Utilities and Public Access. Each Facility has
adequate rights of access to public ways and is served by adequate water, sewer,
sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities as are adequate for full utilization
of such Facility for its current purpose. Except as otherwise disclosed by the
Surveys, all public utilities necessary to the continued use and enjoyment of
each Facility as presently used and enjoyed are located in the public
right-of-way abutting the premises, and all such utilities are connected so as
to serve each Facility either (i) without passing over other property or, (ii)
if such utilities pass over other property, pursuant to valid easements. All
roads necessary for the full utilization of each Facility for its current
purpose have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all
Governmental Authorities or are the subject of access easements for the benefit
of such Facility.

                           (v) Environmental Compliance. Borrower represents,
warrants and covenants, as to itself, the Joint Venture, each Operator, the
Manager, and each Facility:

                               (i) Borrower, the Joint Venture, each Operator,
the Manager, and each Facility are in compliance with all applicable
Environmental Laws, which compliance includes, without limitation, the
possession by Borrower, the Joint Venture, each Operator, or the Manager, of and
compliance with all environmental, health and safety Permits, licenses and other
governmental authorizations required in connection with the ownership and
operation of each Facility under all Environmental Laws, except where the
failure to comply with such laws is not reasonably likely to result in a
Material Adverse Effect.

                               (ii) There is no Environmental Claim pending or,
to Borrower's knowledge, threatened, and no penalties arising under
Environmental Laws have been assessed, against Borrower, the Joint Venture, any
Operator, the Manager, any Facility or against any Person whose liability for
any Environmental Claim Borrower has or may have retained or assumed either
contractually or by operation of law, and no investigation or review is pending
or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened by any Governmental Authority,
citizens group, employee or other Person with respect to any alleged failure by
Borrower, the Joint Venture, any Operator, the Manager, 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, the Joint Venture, any Operator,
or the Manager, for any Use or Release of any Hazardous Substances or the
presence, Use, or Release of any Hazardous Substances at, on, in, under, or from
any Facility.

                               (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

                                                                              82

Substance that are likely to form the basis of any Environmental Claim against
Borrower, the 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.

                               (iv) To the knowledge of Borrower after due
inquiry and except as disclosed in the Environmental Reports, without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, there is not present at, on, in or under any
Facility, PCB-containing equipment, asbestos or asbestos containing materials,
underground or aboveground storage tanks or surface impoundments for Hazardous
Substances, lead in drinking water (except in concentrations that comply with
all Environmental Laws), or lead-based paint (nor have there been any
underground storage tanks present at, on, in, or under any Facility).

                               (v) No Liens are presently recorded with the
appropriate land records under or pursuant to any Environmental Law with respect
to any Facility and, to Borrower's knowledge, no Governmental Authority has been
taking or is in the process of taking any action that could subject any Facility
to Liens under any Environmental Law.

                               (vi) There have been no environmental
investigations, studies, audits, reviews or other analyses conducted by or on
behalf of Borrower, the Joint Venture, any Operator, or the Manager, that are in
the possession or control of Borrower in relation to any Facility which have not
been provided to Lender.

                               (vii) No conditions exist which would require
Borrower, the 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.

                      (w) No Joint Assessment; Separate Lots. Borrower has not
and shall not suffer, permit or initiate the joint assessment of any Facility
(i) with any other real property constituting a separate tax lot, and (ii) with
any portion of such Facility which may be deemed to constitute personal
property, or any 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.

                                                                              83

                      (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) as to the Joint Venture Facility, the Loan
Obligations (as defined in the Joint Venture Mortgage), in all cases, subject
only to the Permitted Encumbrances applicable to such Facility. Each Collateral
Security Instrument establishes and creates a valid, effective, and enforceable
Lien on 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, the 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, the Joint Venture, or
the Manager, enforceable against each of Borrower, the 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, the 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, the 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, the Joint Venture or the
Manager, including the defense of usury, and none of the Borrower, the Joint
Venture, or the Manager, has asserted any right of rescission, set-off,
counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.

                                                                              84

                  (aa) No Liabilities. Borrower has no liabilities or
obligations including, without limitation, Contingent Obligations (and
including, without 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 the 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 the Joint
Venture, each Operator, or the Manager, as applicable, has obtained (in
Borrower's name and/or in the name of the Joint Venture, and/or in the name of
the applicable Operator and/or in the name of the Manger, as applicable, and in
any event, in the name of the Person(s) as required by all applicable
Requirements) all material Permits necessary to use and operate 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 and operate such
Facility in a first-class manner.

                  (dd) Flood Zone. Except as shown on the related Survey, no
Facility is located in a flood hazard area as designated by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency.

                  (ee) Physical Condition. Except as disclosed in the related
Engineering Reports, each Facility is free of material structural defects and
all building systems contained therein are in good working order in all material
respects subject to ordinary wear and tear.

                  (ff) Intellectual Property. All trademarks, trade names and
service marks that any of the Borrower, the Joint Venture, any Operator, or the
Manager owns or has pending, or under which Borrower, the 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, the Joint Venture, any Operator or the Manager as
presently conducted or as Borrower, the Joint Venture, any Operator or the
Manager contemplates conducting its respective business. Borrower, the Joint
Venture, any

                                                                              85

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, the Joint
Venture, any Operator or the Manager.

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

                  (hh) Conduct of Business. Neither Borrower nor the 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.

                  (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 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 and
enforceable obligations of the Manager or the Joint Venture, as applicable, and
the applicable tenant or lessee thereunder; (c) the terms of all alterations,
modifications and amendments to the Leases are reflected in the certified rent
roll statements delivered to and approved by Lender; (d) none of the Rents
reserved in the Leases have been assigned or otherwise pledged or hypothecated;
(e) none of

                                                                              86


the Rents have been collected for more than one (1) month in advance; (f) the
premises demised under the Leases have been completed and the tenants under the
Leases have accepted the same and have taken possession of the same on a
rent-paying basis; (g) there exists no offset or defense to the payment of any
portion of the Rents; (h) no Lease contains an option to purchase, right of
first refusal to purchase, expansion right, or any other similar provision; (i)
no Person has any possessory interest in, or right to occupy, any Facility
except under and pursuant to a Lease; (j) each Lease (other than resident care
agreements) is subordinate to the Loan Documents, either pursuant to its terms
or a recorded subordination agreement; and (k) no Lease has the benefit of a
non-disturbance agreement that would be considered unacceptable to prudent
institutional lenders.

                  (ll) Use-Specific Representations.

                       (i) Compliance with Laws. Borrower, each Operator, the
         Joint Venture and each Facility comply in all material respects with
         all applicable federal, state and local laws, regulations, quality and
         safety standards, accreditation and certification standards and
         requirements for assisted living facilities and, in the
         Facilities in New York, as a congregate care facilities of the
         applicable state and local Department of Public Health (each a "DOH")
         and all other Governmental Authorities relating to the operation of an
         assisted living facility and, in the Facilities in New York, as a
         congregate care facilities.

                       (ii) Licenses. All material governmental licenses,
         permits, regulatory agreements or other approvals or agreements
         necessary or desirable for the use, establishment or operation of the
         Facility as an assisted living facility are held by the Borrower and/or
         the relevant Operator and/or Manager and/or the Joint Venture, as
         applicable and in any event are held by the Person(s) required under
         all applicable Legal Requirements and are in full force and effect,
         including, without limitation, (a) a valid certificate of need for the
         provision of assisted living services, if applicable ("CON"); (b) a
         valid license to provide assisted living services, if applicable; and
         (c) a valid registration of the Facility with DOH as an assisted living
         facility, if applicable (collectively, the "Licenses").

                       (iii) Ownership of Licenses. The Licenses, including
         without limitation, each, if any, CON or COE:

                                                                              87

                               (a) may not be, and have not been, transferred to
         any location other than the Facility for which such License was
         originally issued;

                               (b) have not been pledged as collateral security
         for any other loan or indebtedness;

                               (c) are held free from restrictions or known
         conflicts which would materially impair the use or operation of the
         Facility as intended, and are not provisional, probationary or
         restricted in any way; and

                               (d) have at all applicable times been, and are,
         in full force and effect.

                      (iv) Intentionally deleted.

                      (v)  Intentionally deleted.

                      (vi) Governmental Proceedings and Notices. None of
         Borrower, any Operator, the 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, the 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
         significance which would have a Material Adverse Effect or (iii) result
         in anything else that would have a Material Adverse Effect; or

                                    (b)     modify, limit or annul or result in 
         the transfer, suspension, revocation or imposition of probationary use
         on any License in a manner that could have a Material Adverse Effect.

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

                  "Physical Plant Standards") and no material waivers of
                  Physical Plant Standards exist at such Facility.

                           (viii) Past Violations. Each Facility is in material
         compliance with all local, federal and state laws and regulations
         relating to, assisted living facilities and no material statement of
         charges or deficiencies has been made or material penalty enforcement
         action has been undertaken against any Facility or against Borrower,
         any Operator, the Joint Venture, Manager or any partner, member,
         officer, director or stockholder of Borrower, any Operator, the Joint
         Venture or Manager by any Governmental Authority with respect to any
         Facility.

                           (ix)   Intentionally deleted.

                           (x)    Intentionally deleted.

                           (xi)   Pledges of Receivables. Borrower, 
         each Operator, the Joint Venture and Manager has not pledged its
         receivables as collateral security for any other loan or indebtedness.

                           (xii)  Intentionally deleted.

                           (xiii) Resident Records. All resident records at each
         Facility are true, complete and correct in all material respects and
         have at all times and currently are maintained substantially in
         accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements, including, without
         limitation, with respect to retention and confidentiality.

                           (xiv) Management Agreements. In the event of
         foreclosure or other acquisition of any Facility by the Lender, under
         applicable Legal Requirements none of Borrower, Lender, any Operator,
         the Joint Venture or any subsequent purchaser is required to obtain a
         CON (or similar certificate, license, or approval issued by the DOH for
         the requisite number of beds) prior to applying for and receiving a
         license to operate such Facility.

                  Section 4.2 Survival of Representations and Warranties.

<PAGE>   93




                                                                              89

Borrower shall survive the delivery of the Note and continue for so long as any
amount remains owing to Lender under this Agreement, the Note or any of the
other Loan Documents; provided, however, that the representations, warranties
and covenants set forth in Section 4.1(v) and Sections 5.1(d) through 5.1(i),
inclusive, shall survive in perpetuity and shall not be subject to the
exculpation provisions of Section 8.14. All representations, warranties,
covenants and agreements made in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents
shall be deemed to have been relied upon by Lender notwithstanding any
investigation heretofore or hereafter made by Lender or on its behalf.
Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, if at
anytime during the term of this Loan any applicable federal, state or local
agency enacts any laws or regulations or permits the accreditation and
certification of assisted living facilities, such that Borrower elects to enter
into a participation or provider agreement with any third party payor programs
(including Medicare, Medicaid, Blue Cross and/or Blue Shield or any other
private commercial insurance managed care and employee assistant program) (such
programs the "Third Party Payors Programs") permit assisted living facilities to
participate in their programs, Borrower agrees to execute amendments of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are consistent with the requirements
of loans extended by Nomura the source of payment of which includes payments
from Third Party Payers' Programs, Medicare or Medicaid and shall include such
standard representations, consents and warranties as are consistent with the
foregoing.

Adverse Effect on an Aggregated Facilities Basis. Borrower shall notify Lender
promptly of any written notice or order that Borrower receives from any
Governmental Authority relating (A) to Borrower's failure to comply in any
respect with any Legal Requirements relating to the matters described above in
clause (ii) to the extent they relate to any Facility and the failure to comply
therewith is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect and promptly
take any and all actions necessary to bring its operations at such Facility into

all material respects with the requirements of such Legal Requirements that at
any time are applicable to its operations at any Facility where the failure to
comply is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect) and (B) subject

to have a Material Adverse Effect on an Aggregated Facilities Basis); provided,
that Borrower at its expense may, after prior notice to the Lender, contest by
appropriate legal, administrative or other proceedings conducted in good faith
and with due diligence, the validity or application, in whole or in part, of any
such applicable Legal



<PAGE>   95




                                                                              91

Requirements as long as (i) neither the applicable Collateral nor any part
thereof or any interest therein, will be sold, forfeited or lost if Borrower
pays the amount or satisfies the condition being contested, and Borrower would
have the opportunity to do so, in the event of Borrower's failure to prevail in
the contest, (ii) 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 (iii) below, or to any risk of

failure to comply with such Legal Requirement or of such proceeding and (iii)
Borrower shall have furnished to the Lender additional security in respect of
the claim being contested or the loss or damage that may result from Borrower's
failure to prevail in such contest in such amount as may be reasonably requested

the amount of such claim. Borrower shall at all times maintain, preserve and
protect all franchises and trade names and preserve all the remainder of its
property necessary for the continued conduct of its business and keep each
Facility in good repair, working order and condition, except for reasonable wear
and use, and from time to time make, or cause to be made, all necessary repairs,

provided in the Mortgages. Borrower shall keep each Facility insured at all
times, as provided in the Mortgages.

                            (b) Impositions and Other Claims. Borrower shall pay
and discharge or cause to be paid and discharged all Impositions, as well as all
lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies or otherwise, which could become
a Lien, all as more fully provided in, and subject to any rights to contest
contained in, the relevant Mortgage.

                            (c) Litigation. Borrower shall give prompt written
notice to Lender of any litigation or governmental proceedings pending or
threatened against Borrower, the Joint Venture, any Operator, or the Manager,
which is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                            (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,

                                                                              92

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 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.

                                                                              93


                                (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, the
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) shall be in addition to, and
not in limitation of, any other inspection rights 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, the 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. Section 9601, et seq., which could reasonably be expected
to impair the value of Lender's security interests or have a Material Adverse
Effect;

                                    (iii) all Environmental Claims asserted or
threatened against Borrower, the Joint Venture, any Operator, or the Manager,
against any other party occupying

                                                                              95

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 Borrower or Lender; and

                                    (v) the commencement or completion of any
Remedial Work.

                           (g) Copies of Notices. Borrower shall immediately
transmit to Lender copies of any citations, orders, notices or other written
communications received from any Person or any Governmental Authority and any
notices, reports or other written communications submitted to any Governmental
Authority with respect to the matters described in Section 5.1(f).

                           (h) Environmental Claims. Lender and/or, to the
extent authorized by Lender if applicable, the relevant Deed of Trust Trustee
may join and participate in, as a party if Lender so determines, any legal or
administrative proceeding or action concerning any Facility or any portion
thereof under any Environmental Law, if, in Lender's reasonable judgment, the
interests of Lender or such Deed of Trust Trustee, will not be adequately
protected by Borrower. Borrower agrees to bear and shall pay or reimburse Lender
and such Deed of Trust Trustee on demand for all reasonable sums advanced and
reasonable expenses incurred (including reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements) and such Deed of Trust Trustee, incurred by Lender and such Deed
of Trust Trustee in connection with any such action or proceeding.

                           (i) Indemnification. Borrower agrees to indemnify,
reimburse, defend (with counsel satisfactory to Lender, at Lender's election)
and hold harmless any Indemnified Party and any Deed of Trust Trustee, for,
from, and against all demands, claims, actions or causes of action, assessments,
losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including, without limitation,
interest, penalties, consequential damages, attorneys' fees, disbursements and
expenses, and consultants' fees, disbursements and expenses, including costs of
Remedial Work (collectively, "Losses") asserted against, resulting to, imposed
on, or incurred by Lender or any Deed of Trust Trustee, directly or indirectly,
in connection with any of the following:

                                                                              96



                           (i) events, circumstances, or conditions which are
alleged to, or do, form the basis for an Environmental Claim;

                           (ii) the presence, Use or Release of Hazardous
Substances at, on, in, under or from any Facility, which presence, Use or
Release requires or could require Remedial Work;

                           (iii) any Environmental Claim against Borrower, the
Joint Venture, any Operator, the Manager, Lender, any Deed of Trust Trustee or
any Person whose liability for such Environmental Claim Borrower has or may have
assumed or retained either contractually or by operation of law; or

                           (iv) the breach of any representation, warranty or
covenant set forth in Section 4.1(v) and Sections 5.1(d) through 5.1(i),
inclusive.

                  The indemnity provided in this Loan Agreement is not and shall
not be included in any exculpation of Borrower from personal liability provided
in this Loan Agreement or in any other Loan Document. Nothing in this Section
5.1(i) shall be deemed to deprive Lender of any rights or remedies provided to
it elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or otherwise
available to it under law. Borrower waives and releases Lender and any Deed of
Trust Trustee from any rights or defenses Borrower may have under common law or
Environmental Laws for liability arising from or resulting from the presence,
Use or Release of Hazardous Substances except to the extent directly and solely
caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender or such Deed of
Trust Trustee.

                      (j) Access to Facilities. Borrower shall or shall cause
Manager, each Operator and the Joint Venture to permit agents, representatives
and employees of Lender to inspect any Facility or any part thereof at such
reasonable times as may be requested by Lender upon advance notice.

                      (k) Notice of Default. Borrower shall promptly advise
Lender of any material adverse change in Borrower's, Parent's, any Operator's,
Manager's or the Joint Venture's condition, financial or otherwise, or of the
occurrence of any Default or Event of Default.

                      (l) Cooperate in Legal Proceedings. Except with respect to
any claim by Borrower against Lender, Borrower shall cooperate with Lender with
respect to any


<PAGE>   101




                                                                              97

proceedings before any Governmental Authority which may in any way affect the
rights of Lender hereunder or any rights obtained by Lender under any of the
Loan Documents and, in connection therewith, not prohibit Lender, at its
election, from participating in any such proceedings.

                      (m) Perform Loan Documents. Borrower shall observe,
perform and satisfy all the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions required
to be observed, performed or satisfied by it, and shall pay when due all costs,

connection therewith (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements)
and the payment by Borrower of the expense of an Appraisal on behalf of Lender
in case of a fire or other casualty affecting any Facility or any part thereof
out of such Insurance Proceeds and/or Condemnation Proceeds, all as more
specifically provided in the Mortgages.

                      (o) Further Assurances. Borrower shall, at Borrower's sole
cost and expense:

                          (i) upon Lender's request therefor given from time to
         time after the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default pay for
         (a) reports of UCC, federal tax lien, state tax lien, judgment and
         pending litigation searches with respect to Borrower and (b) searches
         of title to any Facility, each such search to be conducted by search
         firms reasonably designated by Lender in each of the locations
         reasonably designated by Lender.


                          (ii) furnish to Lender all instruments, documents,
         boundary surveys, footing or foundation surveys, certificates, plans
         and specifications, Appraisals, title and other insurance reports and
         agreements, and each and every other document, certificate, agreement
         and instrument required to be furnished pursuant to the terms of the
         Loan Documents;



<PAGE>   102




                                                                              98

                          (iii) execute and deliver to Lender such documents,
         instruments, certificates, assignments and other writings, and do such
         other acts necessary, to evidence, preserve and/or protect the
         Collateral at any time securing or intended to secure the Note, as
         Lender may require in Lender's reasonable discretion; and

                          (iv) do and execute all and such further lawful acts,
         conveyances and assurances for the better and more effective carrying
         out of the intents and purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan
         Documents, as Lender shall require from time to time in its reasonable
         discretion.

                      (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 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 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


<PAGE>   103




                                                                              99



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.

                           (q)      Financial Reporting.

                                    (i) Borrower shall keep and maintain or
         shall cause to be kept and maintained, on a Fiscal Year basis, in
         accordance with GAAP, books, records and accounts reflecting in
         reasonable detail all of the financial affairs of Borrower, each
         Operator and the Joint Venture and all items of income and expense in
         connection with the operation of the Facilities and in connection with
         any services, equipment or furnishings provided in connection with the
         operation of each Facility. Lender, at Lender's cost and expense,
         whether such income or expense may be realized by Borrower, each
         Operator and the Joint Venture or by any other Person whatsoever, shall
         have the right from time to time and at all times during normal
         business hours upon reasonable prior written notice to Borrower to
         examine such books, records and accounts at the office of Borrower or
         other Person maintaining such books, records and accounts and to make
         such copies or extracts thereof as Lender shall desire. After the
         occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall pay any reasonable
         costs and expenses incurred by Lender to examine any and all of
         Borrower's, each Operator's and the Joint Venture's books, records and
         accounts as Lender shall determine in Lender's discretion to be
         necessary or appropriate in the protection of Lender's interest.

                                    (ii) Borrower shall furnish to Lender
         annually within ninety (90) days following the end of each Fiscal Year,
         a true, complete, correct and accurate

         other "Big Six" accounting firm or other firm acceptable to Lender in
         Lender's reasonable discretion which shall (a) be presented on a

         in Lender's reasonable discretion, (c) be prepared in accordance with
         GAAP, (d) include, without limitation, a statement of operations

         if such Event of Default or Default exists, the nature thereof, the
         period of time it has existed and the action then being taken to remedy
         same, and (z) attaches, as in respect to Borrower, a calculation of Net
         Operating Income, an aged accounts receivable report and such other
         information or reports as shall be reasonably required by Lender or any
         applicable Rating Agency, to the extent not included with the Parent's
         financial statement (f) be accompanied by an unqualified opinion from
         an Independent certified public accountant acceptable to Lender in
         Lender's discretion and (g) shall identify the unaudited financial

         utilized to prepare such audited financial statements.

                                    (iii) Borrower shall furnish to Lender
         annually within forty-five (45) days following the end of each Fiscal
         Year, true, complete, correct and accurate copy of Borrower's, each
         Operator's and the Joint Venture's unaudited financial statement which
         shall (a) be presented on a consolidated as well as a

to, any transaction with an Affiliate of Borrower, except in the ordinary course

this Section 7.1, for ten (10) days after written notice to Borrower from Lender
or its successors or assigns, in the case of any default 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)

                                    (i) a termination of any License;

                                    (ii) a ban on new admissions generally; and

                  (xxii) if any Facility is assessed material fines or penalties

                                                                             114


                  Section 7.2 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.

                  Section 7.3 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


<PAGE>   119




                                                                             115

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 7.4 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.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

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 8.2 Lender's Discretion. Whenever pursuant to this

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 8.3 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

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 Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law.

                  (b) ANY LEGAL SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST BORROWER

NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR
PROCEEDING, AND BORROWER HEREBY 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

PROCESS WHICH MAY BE SERVED IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY

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

                  Section 8.4 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 8.5 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 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.

                                                                             119

                  Section 8.8 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 8.9 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 8.10 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 8.11 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 8.12 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

<PAGE>   124




                                                                             120

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 8.13 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 8.14 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 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


<PAGE>   125




                                                                             121

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 8.15 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 8.16 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


<PAGE>   126




                                                                             122

take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are
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 8.17 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 8.18 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 8.19 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 8.20 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 8.21 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 by any Person, that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower in
connection with 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 8.22 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 8.23 Estoppel Certificates. Borrower and Lender each
hereby agree at any time and from time to time upon not less than fifteen (15)

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;

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).

                  Section 8.25 Bankruptcy Waiver. Borrower hereby agrees that,
in 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

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 8.26 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 8.27 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

                                                                             125

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 8.28 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 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,


<PAGE>   130




                                                                             126

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 8.29 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 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 8.30 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 8.31 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.

                                                                             127


                  Section 8.32.     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 delivery of the Request for Advance specified
in Section 3.3(D), 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


<PAGE>   132




                                                                             128

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 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

                                                                             129

         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 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 



<PAGE>   134




                                                                             130




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 the
Joint Venture Facility, (i) as to Joint Venture Facility, the Borrower shall
acquire from the Joint Venture fee simple title to the Joint Venture Facility;
(ii) for the 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 the 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 (other than the Operator Lease with respect to the Facility
located in Florida), as applicable; (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
the Operator Lease with respect to the Facility located in Florida) are
terminated; (vi) as to the 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
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

                                                                             131

described in this paragraph (which costs and expenses shall be subject to the
cap set forth in Section 2.13).


                  Section 8.33 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 the Joint Venture Mortgage is outstanding,
Lender shall be entitled to exercise its rights under the Joint Venture Mortgage
and the other Loan Documents executed by the Joint Venture only upon the
occurrence of an "Event of Default" under the Joint Venture Mortgage; and (ii)
with respect to any Leased Facility or the Joint Venture Facility, until the
Subsidiary has acquired equity interests in the related Operator or the 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
Venture.

                  (a) Transfers of Equity Interests in Operators and Joint
Venture. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Parent currently owns interests
in the Operators and Joint Venture and anticipates that the Subsidiary will
acquire the remaining interests in the Operators and the Joint Venture such that
by the Cut-Off Date the Parent and the Subsidiary own one hundred percent (100%)
of the Operators and the 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
Venture (each an

                                                                             132

"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 the Joint Venture.

                  (b) Loan to Joint Venture. The Borrower shall lend to the
Joint Venture from the proceeds of the Closing the Allocated Loan Amount for the
Joint Venture Facility (less such Joint Venture Facility's pro rata portion of
the Transaction Costs). The Joint Venture's obligations to repay such loan shall
be evidenced by the Joint Venture Note. Pursuant to the Collateral Assignment,
the Borrower shall pledge the 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, the Joint Venture shall make all payments under the
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.

                  (iii) Third, to the Preferred Shareholder, all Monthly

order of the Distribution Dates to which such amounts relate, amounts with

yield thereon at the relevant Adjusted Preferred Rate accruing from the
Distribution Date on which the unpaid Monthly Preferred Yield Amount would have
been distributed had there been funds available to make such distribution in the

                  (iv) Fourth, to the Preferred Shareholder, the Monthly
Preferred Yield Amount due with respect to Class C Shares for the current
Distribution Date;

                  (v) Fifth, to the Preferred Shareholder, all Monthly

                  (vi) Sixth, to the Preferred Shareholder, the Monthly

         8. Upon any distribution by the Company of the Monthly Redemption
Amount with respect to Class C Shares, or any other amounts in redemption of
Class C Shares, Class C Shares having a par value equal to such redemption
amount shall be redeemed and otherwise cancelled.


         9. At the time Lender receives its Class C Shares, Lender also shall
receive equity options ("Warrants")in the Company, granting Lender the right to
receive Class A Shares in the Company (without payment of additional
consideration) equal to the lesser of (a) eighty percent (80%) of the total
equity in the Company and (b) a percentage of the then outstanding Class A
Shares in the Company, such percentage to be derived by (i) dividing the Class C
Amount by the sum of the Equity Value of the Company and the Class C Amount, and
(ii) multiplying the result by eighty percent (80%). In no event shall the Class
A Shares owned by the Lender be less than thirty-five percent (35%) of the total
equity in the Company. As used herein, the "Equity Value of the Company" shall
be calculated by multiplying ten percent (10%) by the underwriting net operating
income of the Facilities, based on the Underwriting NOI Criteria calculated by
Lender in Lender's reasonable discretion for the preceding twelve (12) calendar
months (for which Lender has been provided the financial information required by
Section 5.1(o) of the Loan Agreement) or such other methodology as is
satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion, of the Property and
subtracting therefrom the sum of (i) the then outstanding Principal Indebtedness
together with any other amounts due on the Loan, (ii) the Class B Amount and
(iii) the Class C Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
herein, in no event shall the Equity Value of the Company be less than zero.

         10. Whenever distributions, including without limitation, liquidation
distributions, are made to any Class A Shares, Lender shall receive a
distribution equal to Lender's percentage ownership of Class A Shares in the
Company.

         11. As the holder of its respective percentage of Class A Shares,
Lender may obtain such additional control rights as Lender requires in Lender's
reasonable discretion.

         12. The Preferred Cash Management Agreement shall be modified (in
Lender's reasonable discretion) to provide for payment to Lender in respect of
its Class C and Class A Shares.

         13. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings ascribed on Exhibit D or the Loan Agreement as applicable.

                                    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.




<PAGE>   161


                           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.
