      to time.






7.1.8  Borrower
      defaults on any material provision of any Lease, and such default is not cured
      within any applicable grace or cure period.






7.2  Remedies
      on Default .
      Whenever any Event of Default occurs, Lender may, in addition to any other
      remedies under the Loan Documents, at law or in equity, take any one or more
      of
      the following remedial steps concurrently or successively:






7.2.1  Acceleration .
      Lender
      may declare the Loan to be immediately due and payable, without presentment
      of
      any kind, demand, notice of dishonor, protest or other notice of any kind,
      all
      of which Borrower hereby waives.






7.2.2  Foreclosure .
      Lender
      may foreclose on any and all collateral securing the Loan including the interest
      of Borrower under the Leases, as encumbered by the Mortgage. The proceeds of
      foreclosure shall secure all obligations of the Borrower to Lender under the
      Loan Documents and, under the Existing HRT Loan.






7.2.3  Default
      Under Other Agreements with Lender .
      Lender
      may elect to declare an Event of Default under the Existing HRT Loan, the
      Leases, any New HRT Lease (defined below), any Substitute Lease (defined below),
      and any other lease or loan then in effect between Lender or any Lender
      Affiliate, as Landlord or Lender, and Borrower or any Affiliate, as Tenant
      or
      Borrower. In such event, no




16




further
      notices or cure periods shall be required under any such loans or leases,
      notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained therein.






7.2.4   Lease
      Modification .  In
      addition to any other remedies available to Lender under this Article 7, in
      the
      event following the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender does not elect
      to
      terminate or to foreclose upon its lien on the Leases, then upon giving the
      Borrower and Texas-ESC written notice, as set forth in the Lease Amendments,
      Lender may require the Minimum Rent Adjustment to be paid effective as of the
      date of the occurrence of an Event of Default, which is not waived by Lender
      (the “Minimum Rent Adjustment Effective Date”).






7.2.5  Minimum
      Rent Adjustment Collections .  Notwithstanding
      any other provisions in this Article 7, from and after the Minimum Rent
      Adjustment Effective Date, (i) any amounts of Minimum Rent Adjustment collected
      by Lender under the Leases shall be credited dollar for dollar against sums
      due
      hereunder with respect to the payment of the Loan as provided in the Lease
      Amendments and (ii) any payments received by Lender as payments due under this
      Loan Agreement, shall also be credited against Minimum Rent Adjustment payments
      and accordingly shall be allocated pro-rata among the then existing Leases
      in
      accordance with Schedule
      A and
      credited dollar for dollar against the Minimum Rent Adjustment for each such
      Lease. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the parties
      acknowledge and agree that it is their intent that from and after the Minimum
      Rent Adjustment Effective Date Borrower shall have only one obligation to Lender
      for the repayment of the Loan and that the addition of the Minimum Rent
      Adjustment to the amount due under the Leases is to provide Lender with an
      additional means to collect the amounts due under the Loan from and after the
      Minimum Rent Adjustment Effective Date and not to create a monetary obligation
      of Borrower to Lender above and beyond the amount then due and owing with
      respect to the Loan. The parties further agree that Schedule
      A will be
      adjusted in a commercially reasonable fashi on
      to
      reflect the future termination , addition, or substitution of any Leases
      hereunder, including any Substitute Leases or New HRT Leases (as defined in
      Section 9.8 below),and that the full amount of the Minimum Rent Adjustment
      will
      be allocated among whatever Leases remain in effect from time to time, as
      contemplated above.






7.2.6  Letter
      of Credit .  Lender
      shall be entitled to draft the full amount of the Letter of Credit described
      in
      Section 9.1 below, and apply the proceeds of such Letter of Credit as provided
      therein.






7.2.7  Other
      Remedies .  Subject
      to the limitations set forth above, Lender may take whatever action




17




at
      law or
      in equity as may appear necessary or desirable to collect any monies then due
      and/or thereafter to become due.






7.2.8  Waiver .
      Without
      waiving any prior or subsequent Event of Default, Lender may waive any Event
      of
      Default or, with or without waiving any Event of Default, remedy any Event
      of
      Default.




**ARTICLE
      8: MISCELLANEOUS**




8.1  Advances
      by Lender .
      At any
      time and from time to time, Lender may incur and/or pay and/or advance costs

      expenses: [i] which Lender is authorized or has the right (but not necessarily
      the obligation) to incur or may incur under any Loan Document or any law; [ii]
      in exercising any right or remedy provided under any Loan Document or in taking
      any action which Lender is authorized to take under any Loan Document; [iii]
      which are required to be paid by Borrower under any Loan Document or Lease
      Document, but which Borrower fails to pay upon demand; or [iv] from which
      Borrower is required to hold Lender harmless under any Loan Document, but from
      which Borrower fails to hold Lender harmless. Any costs, expenses, or advances
      incurred or paid by Lender shall become part of the Loan and, upon demand,
      shall
      be paid to Lender together with interest thereon at the Default Rate (as defined
      in the Note) from the date of disbursement by Lender.






8.2  Intentionally
      Deleted .






8.3  Construction
      of Rights and Remedies and Waiver of Notice and Consent .

      provisions of this §8.3 shall apply to all rights and remedies provided by any
      Loan Document or by law or equity.

      of Notices and Consent to Remedies .
      Unless
      otherwise expressly provided herein, any right or remedy may be pursued without
      notice to or further consent of Borrower, both of which Borrower
      waives.






8.3.3  Cumulative
      Rights .
      Subject
      to the limitations set forth above, each right or remedy under the Loan
      Documents is distinct from but cumulative to each other right or remedy provided
      in the Loan Documents and may be exercised independently of, concurrently with,
      or successively to any other such rights and remedies.




18











8.3.4  Extension
      or Modification of Loan .
      No
      extension of time for or modification of amortization of the Loan shall release
      the liability or bar the availability of any right or remedy against Borrower
      or
      any successor in interest, and Lender shall not be required to commence
      proceedings against Borrower or any successor or to extend time for payment
      or
      otherwise to modify amortization of the Loan secured by this Agreement by reason
      of any demand by Borrower or any successor.






8.3.5  Right
      to Select Security .
      Lender
      has the right to proceed at its election against all security or against any
      item or items of such security from time to time, and no action against any
      item
      or items of security shall bar subsequent actions against any item or items
      of
      security. Borrower waives any right to seek marshalling of any assets securing
      the Loan.






8.3.6  Forbearance
      Not a Waiver .
      No
      forbearance in exercising any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof;
      no forbearance in exercising any right or remedy on any one or more occasions
      shall operate as a waiver thereof on any further occasion; and no single or
      partial exercise of any right or remedy shall preclude any other exercise
      thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.






8.3.7  No
      Waiver .
      Failure
      by Lender to insist upon the strict performance of any of the covenants and
      agreements herein set forth or to exercise any rights or remedies upon default
      by Borrower hereunder shall not be considered or taken as a waiver or
      relinquishment for the future of the right to insist upon and to enforce by
      mandamus or other appropriate legal or equitable remedy strict compliance by
      Borrower with all of the covenants and conditions hereof, or of the rights
      to
      exercise any such rights or remedies, if such default by Borrower is continued
      or repeated, or of the right to recover possession of the Facility by reason
      thereof. To the extent permitted by law, any two or more of such rights or
      remedies may be exercised at the same time.






8.3.8  No
      Continuing Waivers .
      If any
      covenant or agreement contained in the Loan Documents is breached by Borrower
      and thereafter waived by Lender, such waiver shall be limited to the particular
      breach so waived and shall not be deemed to waive any other breach hereunder.
      No
      waiver shall be binding unless it is in writing and signed by Lender. No course
      of dealing between Lender and Borrower, nor any delay nor omission on the part
      of Lender in exercising any rights under the Loan Documents, shall operate
      as a
      waiver.




19











8.3.9  Approval
      Not a Waiver .
      Lender’s review and approval of any contracts relating to a Facility shall not
      constitute a waiver by Lender of any of the terms or requirements of the Loan
      Documents which may conflict with any provision of any such
      contracts.






8.3.10  No
      Release .
      Borrower and any other person now or hereafter obligated for the payment or
      performance of all or any part of the Note shall not be released from paying
      and
      performing under the Note by reason of [i] the failure of Lender to comply
      with
      any request of Borrower (or of any other person so obligated), to take action
      to
      enforce any of the provisions of the Loan Documents, or [ii] the release,
      regardless of consideration, of the obligations of any person liable for payment
      or performance of the Note, or any part thereof, or [iii] any agreement or
      stipulation extending the time of payment or modifying the terms of the Note,
      and in the event of such agreement or stipulation, Borrower and all such other
      persons shall continue to be liable under such documents, as amended by such
      agreement or stipulation, unless expressly released and discharged in writing
      by
      Lender.

      by Lender .

      may assign, negotiate, pledge, or transfer this Agreement, the Note and all
      other Loan Documents to any third party or parties for any purpose and, in
      case
      of such assignment, the rights and remedies of Lender shall be enforceable
      against Borrower by such party or parties with the same force and effect and
      to
      the same extent as the same would have been enforceable by Lender but for such
      assignment.






8.4.2  Assignment,
      Merger or Change of Control by Borrower .

      at
      Lender’s election and shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder. The Lender
      shall also have the same right to consent to any sale of assets or stock,
      merger, tender offer, proxy contest, business combination or other similar
      transaction of or by Emeritus (or any of the foregoing in a related series
      of
      transactions, which shall be deemed a single transaction) whereby (A) the

      transaction do not hold at least 50% of the voting and economic interests in
      Emeritus or a successor entity following such transaction; or (B) the persons
      who served as members of the board of directors of Emeritus prior to the

      attempt




20




to
      complete any such transaction without the prior written consent of Lender,

      constitute an Event of Default hereunder.

      term or provision of this Agreement is held or deemed by a court of competent
      jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, such holding shall not affect

      remainder of this Agreement and the same shall remain in full force and
      effect.

      Borrower requests Lender’s consent to any change in ownership, merger or
      consolidation of Borrower, any assumption of the Loan, or any modification
      of
      the Loan Documents, Borrower shall provide Lender all relevant information

      connection with Lender’s evaluation of Borrower’s request, the preparation of
      any documents and amendments, the subsequent amendment of any documents between
      Lender and its collateral pool lenders (if applicable), and all related
      matters.

8.16  Lender
      Merely a Lender .






8.16.1  No
      Agency .
      Lender
      is not and will not be in any way the agent for or trustee of Borrower. Lender
      does not intend to act in any way for or on behalf of Borrower in disbursing
      the
      proceeds of the Loan. Lender does not intend to be and is not and will not
      be
      responsible for the completion of any improvements erected or to be erected
      upon
      the land; the payment of bills or any other details in connection with the
      land
      and improvements; any plans and specifications prepared in connection with

      Obligation to Pay .
      This

      materials, or any other work or product for improving any Facility as an
      agreement upon the part of Lender to assure that anyone will be paid for
      furnishing such labor, materials, or any other work or product. Borrower shall
      be solely responsible for such payments.




**ARTICLE
      9: ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS**




9.1  Collateral .
      Without
      limitation, the Loan shall be secured by the following collateral:






9.1.1 Mortgage. The Loan
      shall be secured by all real property and other collateral described in the
      Mortgage, including any Personal Property assigned or pledged thereunder. A
      schedule of all Personal Property for each Facility shall also be provided
      by
      Borrower to Lender, and updated from time to time, at Lender’s request. Borrower
      shall execute such UCC financing statements and other documents as Lender may
      reasonably require to perfect any security interest granted in the Mortgage
      or
      otherwise to secure the performance of Borrower’s obligations hereunder.






9.1.2  Letter
      of Credit .
      The
      Loan shall also be secured by an unconditional, irrevocable Letter of Credit
      issued by a bank reasonably acceptable to Lender (the “Issuer”) in the amount of
      $1,000,000.00, for a term of at least one year, and, unless earlier terminated
      by the Issuer in accordance with the terms thereof, automatically renewable
      thereafter for an additional term of at least one year unless the same expires
      by its terms at least thirty (30) days after the Maturity Date, and otherwise
      in
      form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender (the “Letter of Credit”).
      The Letter of Credit will secure all other obligations of Borrower to Lender
      under the Loan Agreement as




23




well.
      Without limitation, the Letter of Credit will be an unconditional sight draft
      containing the following language as the same may be modified with the consent
      of Lender:




WE
      HEREBY
      OPEN OUR CLEAN, IRREVOCABLE STANDBY LETTER OF CREDIT IN YOUR FAVOR FOR THE
      ACCOUNT OF THE ABOVE MENTIONED APPLICANT IN THE AGGREGATE OF USD $1,000,000.00
      AVAILABLE BY PAYMENT AT OUR COUNTERS WHEN ACCOMPANIED BY THE
      FOLLOWING:





1.
      A
      DRAFT DRAWN AT SIGHT ON [INSERT NAME OF ISSUING BANK] AND DULY ENDORSED ON
      ITS
      REVERSE SIDE THEREOF BY THE BENEFICIARY, SPECIFICALLY REFERENCING THIS LETTER
      OF
      CREDIT NUMBER.





2.
      THE
      ORIGINAL LETTER OF CREDIT PLUS ANY AND ALL AMENDMENTS ATTACHED
      THERETO.





WE
      HEREBY
      AGREE WITH YOU THAT DRAFT(S) DRAWN UNDER AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS AND
      CONDITIONS OF THIS CREDIT SHALL BE DULY HONORED IF PRESENTED AT OUR OFFICES
      LOCATED AT [INSERT LOCATION FOR PRESENTATION] ON OR BEFORE THE ABOVE STATED
      EXPIRY DATE, OR ANY EXTENDED DATE THEREOF IF APPLICABLE.





IT
      IS A
      CONDITION OF THIS LETTER OF CREDIT THAT IT SHALL BE DEEMED AUTOMATICALLY
      EXTENDED WITHOUT WRITTEN AMENDMENT FOR ONE YEAR FROM THE PRESENT OR ANY FUTURE
      EXPIRY DATE UNLESS AT LEAST SIXTY (60) DAYS PRIOR TO SUCH EXPIRATION DATE,
      ISSUER SENDS THE BENEFICIARY NOTICE BY CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED,
      OR BY RECOGNIZED NATIONAL OVERNIGHT COURIER, THAT ISSUER ELECTS NOT TO EXTEND
      THE LETTER OF CREDIT BEYOND THE CURRENT EXPIRY DATE OR ANY EXTENDED DATE
      THEREOF. [NOTE: LENDER AND BORROWER AGREE THAT THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL NOT BE
      REQUIRED IF THE EXPIRATION DATE OF THE LETTER OF CREDIT IS AT LEAST THIRTY
      (30)
      DAYS AFTER THE MATURITY DATE OF THE LOAN].





Borrower
      and Lender agree that upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default
      hereunder, which is not cured within any applicable notice, grace and/or cure
      period, Lender may draft the full amount of the Letter of Credit and


24


apply
      the
      full proceeds of the Letter of Credit to the payment of any obligations of
      Borrower to Lender arising under this Agreement or the Loan.





All
      other
      terms of the Letter of Credit must be reasonably satisfactory to Lender. The
      Letter of Credit shall be delivered to Lender as part of the Closing. If
      Borrower is unable to provide Lender with the original Letter of Credit at
      Closing, Borrower shall deliver directly to Lender at Closing One Million and
      no/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) by wire transfer of federal funds available
      for
      immediate disbursement, and Lender will hold such funds as security for all
      obligations of Borrower under this Agreement until such time as Borrower is
      able
      to furnish Lender with the Letter of Credit required hereunder. So long as
      Borrower provides Lender with the required One Million and no/100 Dollars
      ($1,000,000.00) cash collateral at the Closing, Borrower’s inability to furnish
      the Letter of Credit will not constitute an Event of Default
      hereunder.





Borrower
      agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a Letter of Credit
      in
      the form required above, but if the Issuer will not issue an automatically
      renewable Letter of Credit, the inability of Borrower to obtain the renewable
      Letter of Credit shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder; however,
      Borrower will have the duty either (i) to give Lender written notice at least
      sixty (60) days prior to the expiration date of the Letter of Credit that the
      Letter of Credit will not renew or (ii) within at least thirty (30) days prior
      to the expiration date of the Letter of Credit, provide a replacement Letter
      of
      Credit meeting the requirements of this Section 9.1. Failure of Borrower to
      give
      such notice or provide such replacement Letter of Credit shall authorize Lender
      to draw on the Letter of Credit which it is then holding at anytime thereafter
      without further notice or opportunity to cure, whether or not there is then
      outstanding an Event of Default hereunder, and Lender will then hold such funds
      as security for all obligations of Borrower under this Agreement until the
      earlier to occur of (i) such time, if any, as Borrower delivers to Lender a
      Letter of Credit meeting the requirements of this Section 9.1, at which time
      such proceeds shall be returned to Borrower or (ii) there is then outstanding
      an
      Event of Default that is not cured within any applicable notice, grace and/or
      cure period, at which time Lender may apply such proceeds to the payment of
      the
      Loan.






9.2  Venue .
      Any
      actions for enforcement of the Loan Documents shall be brought in courts located
      in the Middle District of Tennessee, which is the location of the chief
      executive offices of Lender.






9.3  Oral
      Agreements .
      ORAL
      AGREEMENTS OR ORAL COMMITMENTS TO LOAN MONEY, EXTEND CREDIT OR TO FOREBEAR
      FROM
      ENFORCING REPAYMENT OF A DEBT ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE
      OF
      WASHINGTON.




25











9.4  Assignment
      of Certain Lease Rights .
      To the
      extent permitted by law, Borrower irrevocably assigns to Lender Borrower’s right
      to treat any Lease as terminated and all other rights of Borrower under 11
      U.S.C. Section 365 (h)(1)(A)(i) or any comparable provision of law, including
      Borrower’s right to exercise any option to reject or terminate the Lease, any
      right of Borrower to object to any sale of any Facility or any interest in
      any
      Facility and under Section 11 U.S.C. 363, or otherwise, in any bankruptcy or
      insolvency proceeding affecting Borrower or any Lease. To the extent permitted
      by law, this assignment of Borrower’s rights is absolute and shall last until
      such time as the Loan has been fully satisfied and the Mortgage has been
      released. At such time, Borrower’s rights under the applicable bankruptcy or
      insolvency laws shall automatically vest in Borrower.






9.5  RESERVED.






9.6  Claims
      Against Lender .
      Borrower has no claims of any type against Lender or any Lender Affiliate or
      any
      other rights of offset against the Note, counterclaims, or any defenses against
      payment obligations under the Note or the Existing HRT Loan arising prior to
      or
      upon the Effective Date. Borrower waives the right to any such claims of offset,
      counterclaims, or defenses, known or unknown, arising prior to the Effective
      Date. Borrower releases any claim it might have against Lender or any Lender
      Affiliate based upon any circumstances occurring prior to the Effective Date,
      whether known or unknown. Without limitation, Borrower acknowledges that Lender
      has properly performed all of its obligations under the Leases through the
      Effective Date and under the existing HRT Loan through the Effective Date.






9.7  Demolitions
      or Alterations of Facilities .
      Borrower will not make or permit any demolitions or material alterations of
      any
      improvements located at any Facilities without the prior written consent of
      Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld; except as otherwise required or
      permitted without Landlord’s consent under the Lease Documents in which case
      Lender’s consent shall not be required.






9.8  Substitution
      and Addition of Facilities Securing Loan .
      Subject
      to the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably
      withheld, the Mortgage of a particular Lease may be released and replaced with
      new collateral upon request by Borrower as follows: (i) Borrower may grant
      a
      leasehold mortgage in favor of Lender on its interest with respect to a
      substitute facility (“Substitute Facility”) under a substitute lease
      (“Substitute Lease”) with equal or better economics (not leased from Lender) or
      (ii) Borrower, or an affiliate, as Tenant, and Lender, or an affiliate, as
      Landlord, may enter into one or more new




26




leases
      for additional Facilities (each a “New HRT Lease”). In determining whether or
      not to give such consent to substitution of collateral, Lender may consider
      commercially reasonably factors including, without limitation, occupancy rates,
      debt service coverage ratios, total revenues, total expenses, and EBITDARM
      for
      the proposed Substitute Facility, as well as the value that a New HRT Lease
      would contribute to the existing Lender/Borrower portfolio. Borrower shall
      pay
      all reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs of Lender incurred in connection
      with consideration of the proposed substitution of collateral. If Lender agrees
      to the substitution of collateral, then a Mortgage shall be provided for the
      Substitute Lease in the same form as the Mortgage encumbering the replaced
      Facility, and all representations and warranties contained in this Agreement
      with respect to Facilities shall be deemed to be effective with respect to
      the
      Mortgage of the Substitute Lease and the Substitute Facility as of the effective
      date of the substituted Mortgage. On such date, the existing Mortgage which
      is
      being replaced will be released of record. All costs incurred in connection
      with
      the substitution of collateral transaction will be paid by Borrower, including,
      without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs of title insurance,
      survey, environmental assessment, property condition reports, and similar
      commercial loan items as may be reasonably required by Lender.






9.9  Indemnity .
      Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless for any claims, losses,
      expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and consultant fees),
      liabilities, or other losses incurred as a result of the breach of any
      representations, warranties, or covenants contained in the Loan
      Documents.




9.10  Consent
      to Jurisdiction .
      Borrower hereby irrevocably submits to and consents to the non-exclusive
      jurisdiction and venue of any state or federal court having jurisdiction over
      Davidson County, Tennessee for any action or proceeding to enforce or defend
      any
      matter arising from or related to this Agreement, the Note, or any other Loan
      Document. Borrower hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent Borrower
      may
      effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance
      of
      any such action or proceeding in Davidson County, Tennessee. Borrower agrees
      that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive
      and
      may be enforced in any other jurisdiction by suit on a judgment or in any other
      manner provided by law. Borrower and any guarantor agree not to institute any
      legal action or proceeding against Lender or any director, officer, employee,
      agent or property of Lender concerning any manner arising out of or relating
      to
      this Agreement, the Note or any loan document other than in a state or federal
      court having jurisdiction over Davidson County, Tennessee, or if such court
      lacks subject matter or in personam jurisdiction, such action or proceeding
      may
      be brought in any court which has such jurisdiction. Borrower hereby consents
      to
      service of process by Lender in any manner and in any jurisdiction permitted
      by
      law. Nothing herein shall affect or impair Lender’s right to serve legal process
      in any manner permitted


27


by
      law,
      or Lender’s right to bring any action proceeding against Borrower or the
      property of Borrower or any guarantor in the courts of any other jurisdiction.




TO
      THE
      FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BORROWER AND LENDER, HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND
      VOLUNTARILY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR
      COUNTER CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE, OR ANY
      LOAN DOCUMENT.
