     FOR  VALUE  RECEIVED,  the  undersigned  EMERITUS  PROPERTIES  XIII, LLC, a

Washington  98121,  Attention:  Raymond  R.  Brandstrom (the "Borrower"), hereby
promises  to  pay  to  the  order  of  GMAC  COMMERCIAL  MORTGAGE CORPORATION, a
California  corporation,  having  an  address  at  200  Whitmer  Road,  Horsham,
Pennsylvania  19044 ("the Lender"), its successors and assigns as holder of this
Note  or, if this Note has then been endorsed "to bearer," to the bearer of this
Note  (the  Lender,  its said successors and assigns, and any such bearer, being
hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as "the Holder"), at the Lender's
said address or at such other place or to such other person as may be designated
in  writing  to the Borrower by the Lender, the principal sum of Six Million Two
Hundred Forty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($6,240,000.00) (the "Loan"), together
with  interest  on the unpaid balance thereof at the rate hereinafter set forth.

     ON THE TERMS AND SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS which are hereinafter set forth:

     Section  1.  Interest  Rate  and  Payment  Dates.
                  -----------------------------------

     1.1  Initial  Rate  and  Initial  PaymentInterest  shall  accrue  on  the
          ------------------------------------
outstanding  balance  of the principal amount outstanding hereunder from time to
         -
time  from and after the date hereof at the rate of 7% per annum until the first
Rate  Adjustment  Date  (as  defined  below). On each successive Rate Adjustment
Date,  the  rate  of interest at which interest accrues shall be adjusted to the
then applicable LIBOR Rate (as defined below). Interest for the period beginning
on  the  date of this Note and ending on and including the last day of the month
in  which this Note is dated shall be payable on the date hereof. Interest shall
be  paid in arrears and shall be computed on the basis of an actual 360-day year
and  shall  be  charged  on the principal balance outstanding from time to time.

     1.2  Rate  Adjustment  Date and Payment Adjustment Dates. The interest rate
          ---------------------------------------------------
shall  be  adjusted on the dates (each being a "Rate Adjustment Date") described
in this paragraph. The first Rate Adjustment Date shall be February 1, 2003, and
subsequent  Rate Adjustment Dates shall fall on the first day of each subsequent
one  month  anniversary  thereafter.  The first payment adjustment date shall be
March  1,  2003, and subsequent payment adjustment dates shall fall on the first
day  of  each  calendar  month  thereafter  during  the  term  of  the  Loan.

     1.3  Default  Interest  Rate.  If the Borrower fails to make any payment of
          -----------------------
principal,  interest  or  fees on the date on which such payment becomes due and
payable  (including  applicable  grace  periods)  whether  at  maturity  or  by
acceleration  or  on any other date, such payment shall accrue interest from the
date  on  which  such  payment was due (and not the date of the payment default)
until  paid  at  a  rate  equal  to the lesser of (a) eighteen percent (18%) per

annum,  or  (b) the maximum rate of interest permitted under Washington law (the
"Default  Rate").

     1.4 LIBOR Rate. The LIBOR Rate ("London Interbank Offered Rate") shall mean
         ----------
the average of London Interbank Offered Rates for a term of one month determined
solely  by Holder in the manner described below as of each Rate Adjustment Date,
and  shall  be  four and one-half percent (4.5%) in excess of the greater of (i)
one  month  LIBOR,  determined in the manner herein set forth below; or (ii) two
and one-half percent (2.5%) per annum. On each Rate Adjustment Date, Holder will
obtain  one month LIBOR (in U.S. Dollar deposits) from the appropriate Bloomberg
display  page  available  as  of  the  close  of  business announced on the last
business day of the month immediately preceding the Rate Adjustment Date. In the
event  Bloomberg ceases publication or ceases to publish one month LIBOR, Holder
shall  select  a comparable publication to determine one month LIBOR and provide
notice  thereof  to Borrower. LIBOR may or may not be the lowest rate based upon
the market for U.S. Dollar deposits in the London Interbank Eurodollar Market at
which  the Holder prices loans on the date on which the LIBOR Rate is determined
by  Holder  as  set  forth  above.

     1.5  LIBOR  Rate Adjustments. This Note shall bear interest at the rate set
          -----------------------
forth above or at the applicable LIBOR Rate until a new LIBOR Rate is determined
on each Rate Adjustment Date in accordance with the provisions hereof, provided,
however,  that,  if  Holder  at  any time determines, in the sole but reasonable
exercise  of its discretion, that it has miscalculated the amount of the monthly
payment of principal and/or interest (whether because of a miscalculation of the
LIBOR  Rate  or  otherwise),  then  Holder  shall give notice to Borrower of the
corrected  amount of such monthly payment (and the corrected amount of the LIBOR
Rate,  if  applicable)  and  (a) if the corrected amount of such monthly payment
represents  an  increase  thereof, then Borrower shall, within ten (10) calendar
days  thereafter, pay to Holder any sums that Borrower would have otherwise been
obligated  under  this  Note  to  pay  to  Holder had the amount of such monthly
payment  not  been miscalculated, or (b) if the corrected amount of such monthly
payment represents a decrease thereof and Borrower is not otherwise in breach or
default  under  any  of  the terms and provisions of the Note or the Instrument,
then  Borrower shall, within (10) calendar days thereafter be paid the sums that
Borrower would not have otherwise been obligated to pay to Holder had the amount
of  such  monthly  payment  not  been  miscalculated.

1.6  LIBOR  Unascertainable.  If  (i)  on any date on which the LIBOR Rate would
     ----------------------
otherwise be set Holder shall have determined in good faith (which determination
shall be conclusive and which determination may arise as a result of the sale of
participations  in the Loan) that (A) adequate and reasonable means do not exist
for  ascertaining  one  month  LIBOR  or  (B)  a  contingency has occurred which
materially and adversely affects the London Interbank Eurodollar Market at which
Holder  prices loans on the date on which the LIBOR Rate is determined by Holder
as  set  forth  above,  or (ii) at any time Holder shall have determined in good
faith  (which determination shall be conclusive) that the making, maintenance or
funding  of  any  part  of  the  Loan has been made impracticable or unlawful by
compliance  by  Holder in good faith with any Law or guideline or interpretation
or  administration  thereof  by  any  Governmental  Authority  charged  with the
interpretation or administration thereof or with any request or directive of any
such  Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law); then, and
in  any  such event, Holder may notify Borrower of such determination. Upon such
date  as  shall be specified in such notice (which shall not be earlier than the
date  such  notice  is  given)  the  obligation  of Holder to charge interest to
Borrower  at  the  LIBOR  Rate  shall be suspended until Holder shall have later
notified  Borrower  of Holder's determination in good faith (which determination
shall  be  conclusive)  that  the  circumstances  giving  rise  to such previous
determination  no  longer  exist.

     1.7  U.S.  Treasury  Securities.  If  Holder  notifies  Borrower  of  a
          --------------------------
determination  under subsection 1.6 hereof for purposes of calculating the LIBOR
         ---
Rate, the one month LIBOR shall automatically be converted to the "Index" of the
weekly average yield on United States Treasury Securities adjusted to a constant
maturity  of  one  year,  as made available by the Federal Reserve Board 45 days
prior  to  the  Rate  Adjustment  Date.

     1.8  Reimbursement  for  Increased  Costs.  If  any  law  or  guideline  or
          ------------------------------------
interpretation or application thereof by any governmental authority charged with
the  interpretation  or administration thereof or compliance with any request or
directive of any governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law)
now  existing or hereafter adopted (i) subjects Holder to any tax or changes the
basis of taxation with respect to this Note, the Loan or payments by Borrower of
principal,  interest  or other amounts due from Borrower hereunder or thereunder
(except  for taxes on the overall net income or overall gross receipts of Holder
imposed  as  a result of a present or former connection between the jurisdiction
of  the  government  or  taxing authority imposing such tax on Holder; provided,
that  this  exclusion shall not apply to a connection arising solely from Holder
having  executed,  delivered,  performed  its  obligations  under  or received a
payment  under,  or  enforced  any  of the Loan Documents (as defined in Section
8.1.1  below)  or  (ii)  imposes upon Holder any other condition or expense with
respect to this Note, the Loan or its making, maintenance or funding of any part
of  the Loan or any security therefor, and the result of any of the foregoing is
to  increase the cost to, reduce the income receivable by, or impose any expense
(including,  without limitation, loss of margin) upon Holder with respect to the
Note,  or  the  making,  maintenance  or  funding of any part of the Loan, by an
amount  which  Holder  deems to be material, Holder may from time to time notify
Borrower  of  the  amount  determined  in  good  faith  (using any averaging and
attribution  methods)  by  Holder  (which  determination shall be conclusive and
which  determination  may arise as a result of the sale of participations in the
Loan)  to  be  necessary  to  compensate  Holder for such increase, reduction or
imposition  and,  if  Borrower is by law prohibited from paying any such amount,
Holder may elect to declare the unpaid principal balance hereof and all interest
accrued  thereon  immediately  due  and  payable.  Such  amount shall be due and
payable  by  Borrower  to  Holder  seven  (7)  days  after such notice is given.

     Section  2. Payments. Commencing on , 2003, and continuing on the first day
                 --------
of  each  calendar  month  thereafter  through  and  including the Maturity Date
(defined  below),  monthly  payments  of principal and interest shall be made in
such  amount as is necessary, taking into account the then effective LIBOR Rate,
to  fully  amortize the unpaid principal balance of the Note on the date that is
twenty-five  (25)  years  after  the  first  Rate  Adjustment  Date.

     Section  3.  Application  of Payments. Payments made by Borrower on account
                  ------------------------
hereof  shall  be  applied  first  toward any Late Fees (hereinafter defined) or
other  fees and charges due hereunder, second toward payment of any interest due
at  the  Default  Rate,  thrd  toward  payment  of  any interest due at the then
applicable  LIBOR  Rate  set  forth  in  subsection 1.4 above, and fourth toward
payment  of  principal.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing, if any advances made by
Holder  under  the  terms  of  any  instruments securing this Note have not been
repaid,  any  payments  made  may,  at the option of Holder, be applied first to
repay  such advances, and interest thereon, with the balance, if any, applied as
set  forth  in  the  preceding  sentence.

     Section  4.  Maturity  Date.  Anything  in  this  Note  to  the  contrary
                  --------------
notwithstanding,  the  entire  unpaid balance of the principal amount hereof and
all  interest  accrued thereon (including interest accruing at the Default Rate)
and  all  Late Fees (as hereafter defined) shall, unless sooner paid, and except
to  the extent that payment thereof is sooner accelerated, be and become due and
payable  on  March  1,  2006  (the  "Maturity  Date"). Notwithstanding any other
provision  contained  herein, upon repayment of the Loan, whether at maturity or
upon  acceleration  or otherwise, then Borrower shall pay to Lender a prepayment
premium  equal  to one percent (1%) of the outstanding principal balance of this
Note  (the "Prepayment Fee") on the date of such prepayment (which balance shall
be  calculated  exclusiveof  any  voluntary  partial  prepayments) unless Lender
                ---------
arranges  financing  that  is  utilized  to repay the Loan or has elected not to
arrange  the  permanent  financing.

     Section  5.  Prepayment.
                  ----------

     Prepayment  of  the  Loan in full shall be permitted at any time during the
term of the Loan without penalty, upon not less than thirty (30) and not greater
than forty (40) days prior written notice to Lender specifying the date on which
prepayment is to be made. Partial prepayments of the Loan shall not be permitted
unless  each  such  partial  prepayment  is  not  less than one hundred thousand
dollars  ($100,000.00).  Any such prepayment shall be credited first, toward any
Late  Fees  due  hereunder,  second  toward  payment  of any interest due at the
Default  Rate,  third, toward payment of any interest due hereunder at the LIBOR
Rate  and  fourth,  toward  payment of principal; provided, however, that if any
advances  made  by  Holder under the terms of any instruments securing this Note
have not been repaid, any payments made may, at the option of Holder, be applied
first  to  repay  such advances, and interest thereon, with the balance, if any,
applied  as  set  forth in the preceding sentence. Upon a prepayment of the Loan
that  fully  repays  the  Loan, the Borrower shall pay the Lender the Prepayment
Fee,  unless  waived  by  Lender  pursuant  to  Section  4  above.

     Section  6.  Method  of  Payment.
                  -------------------

     Each  payment  of  the  Loan Obligations (as defined in the Loan Agreement)
shall  be  paid  directly to the Holder in lawful tender of the United States of
America.  Each  such  payment  shall be paid by 1:00 p.m. Horsham, Pennsylvania,
time  on the date such payment is due, except if such date is not a Business Day

principles  thereof  governing  conflicts of laws), and any action or proceeding
arising  hereunder,  and  each  of  Holder  and Borrower submits (and waives all
rights  to  object)  to  non-exclusive  personal  jurisdiction  in  the State of

     12.7  Offset.  Upon  the  occurrence of an Event of Default, the Holder may
set-off against any principal and interest owing hereunder, any and all credits,
money,  stocks,  bonds or other security or property of any nature whatsoever on

or for the account of the Borrower, without notice to or consent of the Borrower
or  Guarantor.

           ------------------------------------------
remedies herein conferred upon or reserved to Holder is intended to be exclusive
of  any  other  right  or  remedy  contained  herein or in any of the other Loan
Documents  and  each  and  every  such  right and remedy shall be cumulative and
concurrent, and may be enforced separately, successively or together, and may be
exercised  from time to time as often as may be deemed necessary or desirable by
Holder.

     12.9  Incorporation  by  Reference.  All  of  the  agreements,  conditions,
           ----------------------------
covenants and provisions contained in each of the Loan Documents are hereby made
a  part of this Note to the same extent and with the same force and effect as if
they  were  fully  set  forth  herein. Borrower covenants and agrees to keep and

     12.11  Business  Purpose.  Borrower  represents  and warrants that the Loan
            -----------------
evidenced  by this Note is being obtained solely for the purpose of acquiring or
carrying  on  a  business,  professional  or  commercial activity and is not for
personal,  agricultural,  family  or  household  purposes.

     12.12  Interest  Limitation.  Notwithstanding  anything  to  the  contrary
            --------------------
contained  herein  or in the Mortgage or in any other of the Loan Documents, the
effective  rate  of  interest on the obligation evidenced by this Note shall not
exceed  the  lawful  maximum  rate  of  interest  permitted  to be paid. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the interest charged
hereunder  results  in  an  effective rate of interest higher than that lawfully
permitted  to  be paid, then such charges shall be reduced by the sum sufficient
to  result in an effective rate of interest permitted and any amount which would
exceed  the highest lawful rate already received and held by the Holder shall be
applied to a reduction of principal and not to the payment of interest. Borrower
agrees  that  for  the purpose of determining highest rate permitted by law, any
non-principal  payment (including, without limitation, Late Fees and other fees)
shall  be  deemed,  to  the  extent  permitted  by law, to be an expense, fee or
premium  rather  than  interest.
