necessary  for  filing  returns  for  any  property  so  classified  as personal
property.  Where  Landlord  is  legally  required  to file personal property tax
returns,  Tenant will be provided with copies of assessment notices indicating a
value  in  excess  of the reported value in sufficient time for Tenant to file a
protest.  Tenant  may, at Tenant's option and at Tenant's sole cost and expense,

appropriate  to  effect  a  reduction  of  real  estate  or  personal  property
assessments  and  Landlord,  at  Tenant's  expense  as  aforesaid,  shall  fully

limitation,  conveyance  taxes; and [vi] all other governmental charges, in each
case  whether  general  or  special,  ordinary  or extraordinary, or foreseen or

Landlord  toward  payment  of such Impositions.  Tenant, on demand, shall pay to
Landlord  any additional funds necessary to pay and discharge the obligations of
Tenant  pursuant  to the provisions of this section.  The receipt by Landlord of
the  payment  of  such  Impositions  by  and  from  Tenant  shall  only be as an
accommodation  to  Tenant, the mortgagees, and the taxing authorities, and shall

only  as  a conduit for delivery purposes.  The foregoing provision shall become
applicable  only  at  such  time as the escrow of Impositions is not required by
Lender,  it being understood and agreed that for so long as Lender requires that
the  real  estate  tax portion of the Imposition be escrowed with Lender, Tenant

Imposition  to  Lender  as  and  when  due.

while  it  remains  uncured,  Tenant shall, at Landlord's election, deposit with
Landlord  on  the first day of each month a sum equal to 1/12th of the amount of
the  annual  utility  expenses for the preceding Lease Year, which sums shall be
used  by  Landlord  to  pay  such  utilities.  Tenant  shall,  on demand, pay to
Landlord any additional amount needed to pay such utilities.  Landlord's receipt
of  such  payments  shall  only  be  an  accommodation to Tenant and the utility
companies  and  shall  not  constitute  rent  or  income  to  Landlord.  Absent
circumstances  beyond  Tenant's  reasonable  control,  Tenant shall at all times
maintain  that  amount of heat necessary to ensure against the freezing of water
lines.  Tenant  hereby  agrees  to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and
against  any liability or damages to the utility systems and the Leased Property
that  may  result  from  Tenant's  failure  to  maintain  sufficient heat in the
Improvements  absent  circumstances  beyond  Tenant's  reasonable  control.
3.5     Discontinuance of Utilities.  Landlord will not be liable for damages to
        ---------------------------
person  or  property  or  for  injury  to,  or interruption of, business for any
discontinuance of utilities nor will such discontinuance in any way be construed
as  an  eviction  of  Tenant or cause an abatement of rent or operate to release
Tenant  from  any  of  Tenant's  obligations  under  this  Lease.
3.6     Business  Expenses.  Tenant  shall  promptly  pay all expenses and costs
        ------------------
incurred  in  connection  with  the  operation  of  the  Facility  on the Leased
Property,  including,  without  limitation, employee benefits, employee vacation
and  sick  pay,  consulting  fees,  and  expenses  for  inventory  and supplies.
3.7     Permitted  Contests.  Tenant,  on its own or on Landlord's behalf (or in
        -------------------
Landlord's  name),  but  at  Tenant's expense, may contest, by appropriate legal
proceedings  conducted  in  good  faith  and  with  due diligence, the amount or
validity  or  application,  in  whole or in part, of any Imposition or any Legal
Requirement or insurance requirement or any lien, attachment, levy, encumbrance,
charge  or  claim  provided  that [i] in the case of an unpaid Imposition, lien,
attachment,  levy,  encumbrance,  charge  or  claim,  the  commencement  and
continuation  of  such  proceedings  shall  suspend  the collection thereof from
Landlord  and from the Leased Property; [ii] neither the Leased Property nor any
Rent  therefrom  nor  any  part  thereof  or  interest  therein  would be in any
immediate  danger  of being sold, forfeited, attached or lost; [iii] in the case
of  a  Legal Requirement, Landlord would not be in any immediate danger of civil
or  criminal  liability  for  failure to comply therewith pending the outcome of
such proceedings; [iv] in the event that any such contest shall involve a sum of
money  or  potential  loss  in  excess  of  $50,000.00,  Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord  and its counsel an opinion of Tenant's counsel to the effect set forth
in  clauses  [i], [ii] and [iii], to the extent applicable; [v] in the case of a
Legal  Requirement  and/or  an  Imposition,  lien, encumbrance or charge, Tenant
shall  give  such  reasonable  security as may be demanded by Landlord to insure
ultimate  payment  of  the  same  and  to  prevent any sale or forfeiture of the
affected  Leased  Property  or  the  Rent  by  reason  of  such  nonpayment  or
noncompliance;  provided,  however,  the provisions of this section shall not be
construed to permit Tenant to contest the payment of Rent (except as to contests
concerning  the  method of computation or the basis of levy of any Imposition or
the  basis  for  the  assertion of any other claim) or any other sums payable by
Tenant  to Landlord hereunder; [vi] in the case of an insurance requirement, the
coverage required by Article 4 shall be maintained; and [vii] if such contest be
finally  resolved  against  Landlord or Tenant, Tenant shall, as Additional Rent
due  hereunder,  promptly  pay the amount required to be paid, together with all
interest  and  penalties  accrued  thereon,  or comply with the applicable Legal
Requirement  or  insurance  requirement.  Landlord,  at  Tenant's expense, shall
execute  and deliver to Tenant such authorizations and other documents as may be
reasonably  required in any such contest, and, if reasonably requested by Tenant
or  if  Landlord  so  desires,  Landlord  shall join as a party therein.  Tenant
hereby  agrees  to  indemnify  and  save  Landlord harmless from and against any
liability,  cost  or  expense  of  any kind that may be imposed upon Landlord in
connection  with  any  such  contest  and  any  loss  resulting  therefrom.

notice  to  Landlord.
(e)     The  policies  shall  contain  a  severability  of  interest  and/or

Landlord  will  not invalidate the coverage of the other party, and provide that
Landlord  shall  not  be  responsible  for  payment  of  premiums.
(f)     All  loss  adjustment  shall require the written consent of Landlord and
Tenant,  as  their  interests  may  appear.
(g)     At  least  30  days  prior  to  the expiration of each insurance policy,
Tenant  shall  deliver  to Landlord a certificate showing renewal of such policy
and  payment  of  the  annual  premium  therefor  and  a  current Certificate of

4.5     Replacement  Value.  The  term "full replacement value" means the actual
        ------------------
replacement  cost  thereof  from  time  to  time,  including  increased  cost of
construction  endorsement,  with  no reductions or deductions.  Tenant shall, in
connection  with  each  annual  policy  renewal,  deliver  to  Landlord  a
redetermination  of  the full replacement value by the insurer or an endorsement
indicating  that  the Leased Property is insured for its full replacement value.
If Tenant makes any Permitted Alterations (as hereinafter defined) to the Leased
     Property, Landlord may have such full replacement value redetermined at any
time  after  such  Permitted  Alterations  are made, regardless of when the full
replacement  value  was  last  determined.
4.6     Blanket  Policy.  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary contained in
        ---------------
this  Article 4, Tenant may carry the insurance required by this Article under a
blanket policy of insurance, provided that the coverage afforded Tenant will not
be  reduced  or diminished or otherwise be different from that which would exist
under  a  separate  policy  meeting  all  of  the  requirements  of  this Lease.
4.7     No  Separate  Insurance.  Tenant  shall  not take out separate insurance
        -----------------------
concurrent  in  form  or contributing in the event of loss with that required in
this  Article,  or  increase  the  amounts  of  any  then existing insurance, by
securing  an additional policy or additional policies, unless all parties having
an insurable interest in the subject matter of the insurance, including Landlord
and  any mortgagees, are included therein as additional insureds or loss payees,
the  loss  is  payable  under  said  insurance  in the same manner as losses are
payable under this Lease, and such additional insurance is not prohibited by the
existing policies of insurance.  Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord of the
taking out of such separate insurance or the increasing of any of the amounts of
the  existing insurance by securing an additional policy or additional policies.
4.8     Waiver  of  Subrogation.  Each  party hereto hereby waives any and every
        -----------------------
claim  which arises or may arise in its favor and against the other party hereto
during  the  Term  for  any  and  all loss of, or damage to, any of its property
located  within  or  upon, or constituting a part of, the Leased Property, which
loss  or  damage  is covered by valid and collectible insurance policies, to the
extent that such loss or damage is recoverable under such policies.  Said mutual
waiver  shall  be  in  addition  to, and not in limitation or derogation of, any
other  waiver  or  release  contained  in this Lease with respect to any loss or
damage  to  property  of  the parties hereto.  Inasmuch as the said waivers will
preclude  the  assignment  of  any  aforesaid  claim  by  way of subrogation (or
otherwise)  to  an  insurance  company  (or any other person), each party hereto
agrees  immediately  to  give  each  insurance  company  which  has issued to it
policies  of  insurance, written notice of the terms of said mutual waivers, and
to  have such insurance policies properly endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the
invalidation  of  said  insurance coverage by reason of said waivers, so long as
such  endorsement  is  available  at  a  reasonable  cost.
4.9     Mortgages.  The  following  provisions  shall  apply  if Landlord now or
        ---------
hereafter  places  a  mortgage  on the Leased Property or any part thereof:  [i]
Tenant shall obtain a standard form of lender's loss payable clause insuring the
interest  of  the  mortgagee; [ii] Tenant shall deliver evidence of insurance to
such  mortgagee;  [iii]  loss  adjustment  shall  require  the  consent  of  the
mortgagee; and [iv] Tenant shall provide such other information and documents as
may  be  required  by  the  mortgagee.

such  periodic  payments  of  insurance  premiums  in accordance with Landlord's
requirements  after  receipt  of  notice  thereof  from  Landlord.
                            ARTICLE 5:     INDEMNITY
5.1     Tenant's  Indemnification.  Tenant hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold
        -------------------------
harmless  Landlord  and  HCN  (jointly  and severally, "Indemnified Party"), any
successors  or  assigns  of  Indemnified Party, and Indemnified Party's and such
successor's  and  assign's  directors,  officers,  employees and agents from and
against any and all demands, claims, causes of action, fines, penalties, damages
     (including  consequential  damages),  losses, liabilities (including strict
liability),  judgments,  and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys'  fees,  court  costs,  and  the  costs set forth in  8.7) incurred in
connection  with  or  arising  from:  [i]  the  use  or  occupancy of the Leased
Property  by  Tenant  or  any  persons claiming under Tenant; [ii] any activity,
work,  or  thing done, or permitted or suffered by Tenant in or about the Leased
Property;  [iii]  any  acts,  omissions,  or  negligence of Tenant or any person
claiming  under  Tenant,  or  the  contractors,  agents, employees, invitees, or
visitors  of  Tenant  or  any  such  person;  [iv]  any  breach,  violation,  or
nonperformance  by  Tenant or any person claiming under Tenant or the employees,
agents,  contractors,  invitees, or visitors of Tenant or of any such person, of
any  term,  covenant,  or  provision  of  this  Lease  or any law, ordinance, or
governmental requirement of any kind, including, without limitation, any failure
to  comply  with  any  applicable  requirements under the ADA; [v] any injury or
damage  to  the  person,  property or business of Tenant, its employees, agents,
contractors,  invitees,  visitors,  or any other person entering upon the Leased
Property;  [vi]  any  construction,  alterations,  changes  or demolition of the
Facility  performed  by  or contracted for by Tenant or its employees, agents or
contractors;  [vii]  any  obligations,  costs  or  expenses  arising  under  any
Permitted  Exceptions;  and  [viii] any claim under a Loan Document arising from
the acts or omissions of Tenant or Guarantor, including, but not limited to, (a)
any claim against HCN under an Indemnity Agreement granted by HCN to Lender; and
(b)  any  applicable  make-whole  premium  payable  to  Lender as a result of an
acceleration  of  the  Loan.  If  any  action  or  proceeding is brought against
Landlord,  its  employees,  or  agents by reason of any such claim, Tenant, upon
notice  from  Landlord,  will  defend the claim at Tenant's expense with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.  All amounts payable to Landlord under this
section  shall  be  payable on written demand and any such amounts which are not
paid  within  10  days after demand therefore by Landlord shall bear interest at
Landlord's  rate  of  return as provided in the Commitment.  In case any action,
suit  or  proceeding is brought against Tenant by reason of any such occurrence,
Tenant shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to defend such action, suit
or  proceeding.  Nothing  in this  5.1 shall be construed as requiring Tenant to
indemnify  Landlord  with  respect to Landlord's own gross negligence or willful
misconduct  or  with  respect to any claim under the Loan Documents arising from
the  acts  or  omissions  of  Landlord  or  HCN.
5.1.1     Notice of Claim.  Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of any claim
          ---------------
     or action brought against Landlord in which indemnity may be sought against
Tenant  pursuant to this section.  Such notice shall be given in sufficient time
to  allow  Tenant  to  defend  or  participate  in such claim or action, but the
failure  to  give  such notice in sufficient time shall not constitute a defense
hereunder  nor  in  any  way impair the obligations of Tenant under this section
unless  the  failure  to give such notice precludes Tenant's defense of any such
action.
5.1.2     Survival  of  Covenants.  The  covenants  of  Tenant contained in this
          -----------------------
section  shall  remain  in  full  force and effect after the termination of this
Lease  until  the  expiration  of the period stated in the applicable statute of
limitations  during  which a claim or cause of action may be brought and payment
in full or the satisfaction of such claim or cause of action and of all expenses
and  charges  incurred by Landlord relating to the enforcement of the provisions
herein  specified.

          ---------------------------

out-of-pocket  expenses related to the Facility and required hereby, or incurred
by  Landlord  in  enforcing  the  provisions  of  this  Lease.
5.2     Environmental  Indemnity;  Audits.  Tenant hereby indemnifies and agrees
        ---------------------------------
to  hold harmless Landlord, any successors to Landlord's interest in this Lease,
and  Landlord's  and  such successors' directors, officers, employees and agents
from  and against any losses, claims, damages (including consequential damages),
penalties,  fines,  liabilities  (including  strict liability), costs (including
cleanup  and recovery costs), and expenses (including expenses of litigation and
reasonable  consultants'  and attorneys' fees) incurred by Landlord or any other
indemnitee  or  assessed against any portion of the Leased Property by virtue of
any  claim  or  lien  by  any  governmental or quasi-governmental unit, body, or
agency,  or  any  third  party, for cleanup costs or other costs pursuant to any
Environmental  Law.  Tenant's  indemnity  shall  survive the termination of this
Lease.  Provided,  however,  Tenant  shall  have  no  indemnity  obligation with
respect  to  [i]  Hazardous  Materials  first  introduced to the Leased Property
subsequent to the date that Tenant's occupancy of the Leased Property shall have
     fully  terminated;  or  [ii]  Hazardous  Materials introduced to the Leased
Property  by  Landlord,  its agent, employees, successors or assigns.  If at any
time  during the Term of this Lease any governmental authority notifies Landlord
or  Tenant  of  a  violation  of  any  Environmental  Law or Landlord reasonably
believes that a Facility may violate any Environmental Law, Landlord may require
one or more environmental audits of such portion of the Leased Property, in such
form, scope and substance as specified by Landlord, at Tenant's expense.  Tenant
shall,  within  30  days  after  receipt  of an invoice from Landlord, reimburse
Landlord  for  all  costs  and  expenses incurred in reviewing any environmental
audit,  including,  without  limitation,  reasonable  attorneys' fees and costs.

under the Medicare and Medicaid programs (if so certified), whether such changes
are  required  by  Tenant's use, changes in the law, ordinances, or governmental
regulations,  defects  existing as of the date of this Lease, or any other cause
whatsoever.  All  such  additions, changes, improvements or alterations shall be
deemed to be Permitted Alterations and shall comply with all laws requiring such
alterations  and  with  the  provisions  of  16.4.

indemnify,  and  hold  Landlord  harmless  from and against any mechanic's liens
against  the  Leased  Property  by  reason of work, labor, services or materials
supplied or claimed to have been supplied on or to the Leased Property.  Subject
to  Tenant's  right  to  contest  the  same in accordance with the terms of this

written  request  from  Landlord,  any  and  all documents necessary to evidence
Landlord's  ownership of Landlord's Personal Property and replacements therefor.

Property  by  equipment lease or by a security agreement and financing statement

agreement  or  equipment  lease upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under

default  by  Tenant  under  the  equipment  lease or security agreement and give
Landlord  a  reasonable opportunity to cure such default; and [c] Landlord shall
have  the  right  to  assign  its  rights  under  the  equipment lease, security

        -----------------------------------
shall cooperate with Tenant to secure the release of funds held by Lender in the

forth  in  the Loan Documents.  Tenant's obligations set forth in this Article 7
shall  not  be  conditioned  upon the release of funds by Lender from the Lender

8.2     Remedies.  Upon  the  occurrence of an Event of Default under this Lease
        --------
or  any  Lease  Document,  and  at any time thereafter until Landlord waives the
default in writing or acknowledges cure of the default in writing, at Landlord's
     option,  without  declaration, notice of nonperformance, protest, notice of
protest,  notice of default, notice to quit or any other notice or demand of any
kind,  Landlord  may  exercise  any and all rights and remedies provided in this
Lease  or  any  Lease  Document  or  otherwise  provided under law or in equity,
including,  without  limitation,  any  one  or  more  of the following remedies:
(a)     Landlord may re-enter and take possession of the Leased Property without
     terminating  this  Lease,  and lease the Leased Property for the account of
Tenant,  holding Tenant liable for all costs of Landlord in reletting the Leased
Property and for the difference in the amount received by such reletting and the
amounts  payable  by  Tenant  under  the  Lease.
(b)     Landlord  may  terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant, exclude
Tenant  from  possession  of the Leased Property and use commercially reasonable
efforts  to  lease  the Leased Property to others, holding Tenant liable for the
difference  in  the amounts received from such reletting and the amounts payable
by  Tenant  under  this  Lease.
(c)     Landlord  may re-enter the Leased Property and have, repossess and enjoy
the  Leased  Property  as  if  this  Lease had not been made, and in such event,
Tenant  and its successors and assigns shall remain liable for any contingent or
unliquidated  obligations  or  sums  owing  at  the  time  of such repossession.
(d)     Landlord  may have access to and inspect, examine and make copies of the
books  and  records  and  any  and  all  accounts, data and income tax and other
returns  of  Tenant  insofar  as  they pertain to the Leased Property subject to
landlord's obligation to maintain the confidentiality of any patient or employee
information  in  accordance with the requirements of applicable State or federal
law.
(e)     Landlord  may  accelerate  all of the unpaid Rent hereunder based on the
then  current Rent Schedule so that the aggregate Rent for the unexpired term of
this  Lease  becomes  immediately  due  and  payable.
(f)     Landlord  may  take  whatever  action  at law or in equity as may appear
necessary  or desirable to collect the Rent and other amounts payable under this
Lease  then  due  and  thereafter  to  become due, or to enforce performance and
observance  of  any  obligations,  agreements  or covenants of Tenant under this
Lease.
(g)     With  respect  to  the  Collateral  or  any  portion thereof and Secured
Party's  security interest therein, Secured Party may exercise all of its rights
as  secured party under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code.  Secured Party
may  sell  the  Collateral  by  public  or private sale upon five days notice to
Tenant.  Tenant  agrees  that a commercially reasonable manner of disposition of
the  Collateral  shall  include, without limitation and at the option of Secured
Party, a sale of the Collateral, in whole or in part, concurrently with the sale
of  the  Leased  Property.
(h)     Secured  Party  may  obtain control over and collect the Receivables and
apply  the  proceeds  of  the  collections  to satisfaction of the Obligor Group
Obligations  unless prohibited by law.  Tenant appoints Landlord or its designee
as attorney for Tenant with powers [i] to receive, to endorse, to sign and/or to
deliver,  in  Tenant's name or Secured Party's name, any and all checks, drafts,
and  other instruments for the payment of money relating to the Receivables, and
to  waive demand, presentment, notice of dishonor, protest, and any other notice
with  respect  to any such instrument; [ii] to sign Tenant's name on any invoice
or  bill  of  lading relating to any Receivable, drafts against account debtors,
assignments  and  verifications  of Receivables, and notices to account debtors;
[iii] to send verifications of Receivables to any account debtor; and [iv] to do
all  other  acts  and  things  necessary  to carry out this Lease.  Absent gross
negligence  or  willful  misconduct of Secured Party, Secured Party shall not be
liable  for  any omissions, commissions, errors of judgment, or mistakes in fact
or  law  made  in  the  exercise of any such powers.  At Secured Party's option,
Tenant shall [i] provide Secured Party a full accounting of all amounts received
on  account of Receivables with such frequency and in such form as Secured Party
may  require,  either with or without applying all collections on Receivables in
payment of the Obligor Group Obligations or [ii] deliver to Secured Party on the
day  of  receipt  all such collections in the form received and duly endorsed by
Tenant.  At  Secured Party's request, Tenant shall institute any action or enter
into  any  settlement  determined  by  Secured  Party  to be necessary to obtain
recovery  or redress from any account debtor in default of Receivables.  Secured
Party  may give notice of its security interest in the Receivables to any or all
account  debtors  with instructions to make all payments on Receivables directly
to Secured Party, thereby terminating Tenant's authority to collect Receivables.
After  terminating Tenant's authority to enforce or collect Receivables, Secured
Party  shall  have  the  right  to take possession of any or all Receivables and
records  thereof and is hereby authorized to do so, and only Secured Party shall
have  the right to collect and enforce the Receivables.  Prior to the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at Tenant's cost and expense,
but  on  behalf  of  Secured Party and for Secured Party's account, Tenant shall
collect or otherwise enforce all amounts unpaid on Receivables and hold all such
collections  in  trust  for  Secured  Party,  but  Tenant  may  commingle  such
collections  with Tenant's own funds, until Tenant's authority to do so has been
terminated,  which  may be done only after an Event of Default.  Notwithstanding
any  other  provision  hereof,  Secured  Party  does  not assume any of Tenant's
obligations  under any Receivable, and Secured Party shall not be responsible in
any  way  for  the  performance  of  any  of the terms and conditions thereof by
Tenant.
(i)     Without  waiving  any prior or subsequent Event of Default, Landlord may
waive  any  Event  of  Default or, with or without waiving any Event of Default,
remedy  any  default.
(j)     Landlord  may terminate its obligation, if any, to disburse any Landlord
Payments.
(k)     Landlord  may  enter  and  take  possession of the Land and the Facility
without  terminating  this Lease and complete construction and renovation of the
Improvements  (or  any part thereof) and perform the obligations of Tenant under
the  Lease  Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and for
the  purposes  aforesaid,  Tenant  hereby  appoints  Landlord  its  lawful
attorney-in-fact  with  full  power  to  do  any of the following:  [i] complete
construction,  renovation  and  equipping  of  the  Improvements  in the name of
Tenant;  [ii]  use  unadvanced  funds  remaining under the Investment Amount, or
funds that may be reserved, escrowed, or set aside for any purposes hereunder at
any  time,  or  to advance funds in excess of the Investment Amount, to complete
the  Improvements; [iii] make changes in the plans and specifications that shall
be  necessary  or  desirable  to  complete the Improvements in substantially the
manner  contemplated  by the plans and specifications; [iv] retain or employ new
general  contractors,  subcontractors,  architects, engineers, and inspectors as
shall be required for said purposes; [v] pay, settle, or compromise all existing
bills  and  claims,  which  may be liens or security interests, or to avoid such
bills  and  claims  becoming  liens  against  the  Facility or security interest
against  fixtures  or  equipment,  or  as  may be necessary or desirable for the
completion  of  the  construction  and  equipping of the Improvements or for the
clearance  of title; [vi] execute all applications and certificates, in the name
of  Tenant,  that  may be required in connection with any construction; [vii] do
any  and  every  act  that  Tenant  might do in its own behalf, to prosecute and
defend  all  actions  or  proceedings  in  connection with the Improvements; and
[viii]  to  execute,  deliver  and file all applications and other documents and
take any and all actions necessary to transfer the operations of the Facility to
Secured  Party  or  Secured Party's designee.  This power of attorney is a power
coupled  with  an  interest  and  cannot  be  revoked.
(l)     Landlord  may  apply,  with  or  without  notice  to  Tenant,  for  the
appointment  of  a  receiver ("Receiver") for Tenant or Tenant's business or for
the  Leased  Property.  Unless  prohibited  by law, such appointment may be made
either  before  or  after  termination  of  Tenant's  possession  of  the Leased
Property, without notice, without regard to the solvency or insolvency of Tenant
at  the  time  of  application  for such Receiver and without regard to the then
value  of  the  Leased Property, and Secured Party may be appointed as Receiver.
After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Landlord
shall  be entitled to appointment of a receiver as a matter of right and without
the  need  to  make any showing other than the existence of an Event of Default.
The  Receiver  shall  have  the  power to collect the rents, income, profits and
Receivables  of  the Leased Property during the pendency of the receivership and
all  other  powers  which  may  be  necessary or are usual in such cases for the
protection, possession, control, management and operation of the Leased Property
during the whole of said proceeding.  All sums of money received by the Receiver
from such rents and income, after deducting therefrom the reasonable charges and
expenses  paid  or  incurred  in connection with the collection and disbursement
thereof,  shall  be  applied  to  the  payment of the Rent or any other monetary
obligation of Tenant under this Lease, including, without limitation, any losses
or  damages  incurred  by Landlord under this Lease.  Tenant, if requested to do
so,  will  consent  to  the  appointment  of  any  such  Receiver  as aforesaid.
(m)     Landlord  may  terminate any management agreement with respect to any of
the  Leased Property and shall have the right to retain one or more managers for
the  Leased Property at the expense of Tenant, such manager(s) to serve for such
term  and  at  such  compensation as Landlord reasonably determines is necessary
under  the  circumstances.
8.3     Right  of  Setoff.  Landlord may, and is hereby authorized by Tenant to,
        -----------------
at  any  time  and  from time to time without advance notice to Tenant (any such
notice being expressly waived by Tenant), setoff or recoup and apply any and all
     sums  held  by  Landlord,  any  indebtedness of Landlord to Tenant, and any
claims  by  Tenant against Landlord, against any obligations of Tenant hereunder
and  against  any  claims  by  Landlord  against  Tenant,  whether  or  not such
obligations  or  claims  of  Tenant  are matured and whether or not Landlord has
exercised  any  other  remedies  hereunder.  The  rights  of Landlord under this
section  are  in  addition  to  any  other rights and remedies Landlord may have
against  Tenant.
8.4     Performance  of Tenant's Covenants.  Landlord may perform any obligation
        ----------------------------------
of Tenant which Tenant has failed to perform within five days after Landlord has
sent  a  written  notice to Tenant informing it of its specific failure.  Tenant
shall  reimburse  Landlord  on  demand, as Additional Rent, for any expenditures
thus  incurred  by Landlord and shall pay interest thereon at Landlord's rate of
return  as  provided  in  the  Commitment.
8.5     Late  Payment  Charge.  Tenant  acknowledges  that  any  default  in the
        ---------------------
payment  of  any  installment  of Rent payable hereunder will result in loss and
additional expense to Landlord in servicing any indebtedness of Landlord secured
by the Leased Property, handling such delinquent payments, and meeting its other
financial obligations, and because such loss and additional expense is extremely
difficult and impractical to ascertain, Tenant agrees that in the event any Rent
payable  to  Landlord  hereunder  is not paid within 10 days after the due date,
Tenant  shall  pay a late charge of 5% of the amount of the overdue payment as a
reasonable  estimate of such loss and expenses, unless applicable law requires a
lesser  charge,  in  which  event  the maximum rate permitted by such law may be
charged  by  Landlord.  The  10-day grace period set forth in this section shall
not  extend the time for payment of Rent or the period for curing any default or
constitute  a  waiver  of  such  default.
8.6     Default  Rent.  At Landlord's option at any time after the occurrence of
        -------------
an  Event  of  Default and while such Event of Default remains uncured, the Base
Rent  payable  under this Lease shall be increased to reflect Landlord's rate of
return  of  18.5% per annum on the Investment Amount ("Default Rent"); provided,
however,  that  if  a  court of competent jurisdiction determines that any other
amounts  payable  under  this  Lease are deemed to be interest, the Default Rent
shall be adjusted to ensure that the aggregate interest payable under this Lease
does  not  accrue  at  a  rate  in  excess  of  the  maximum  legal  rate.
8.7     Attorneys'  Fees.  Tenant  shall  pay  all reasonable costs and expenses
        ----------------
incurred  by  Landlord  in  enforcing or preserving Landlord's rights under this
Lease,  whether  or  not  an  Event of Default has actually occurred or has been
declared  and  thereafter  cured,  including,  without limitation, [i] the fees,
expenses,  and costs of any litigation, appellate, receivership, administrative,
bankruptcy,  insolvency  or  other similar proceeding; [ii] reasonable attorney,
paralegal,  consulting  and  witness  fees  and  disbursements;  and  [iii]  the
expenses,  including, without limitation, lodging, meals, and transportation, of
Landlord  and  its  employees, agents, attorneys, and witnesses in preparing for
litigation,  administrative, bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceedings
and  attendance  at  hearings,  depositions, and trials in connection therewith.
All such reasonable costs, expenses, charges and fees payable by Tenant shall be
deemed  to  be  Additional  Rent  under  this  Lease.
8.8     Escrows and Application of Payments.  As security for the performance of
        -----------------------------------
the  Obligor Group Obligations, Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all its right,
title, and interest in and to all monies escrowed with Landlord under this Lease
and  all  deposits  with  utility  companies,  taxing  authorities and insurance
companies;  provided,  however,  that  Landlord  shall  not  exercise its rights
hereunder  until  an  Event  of  Default has occurred.  Any payments received by
Landlord  under any provisions of this Lease during the existence or continuance
of  an Event of Default shall be applied to the Obligor Group Obligations in the
order  which  Landlord  may  determine.
8.9     Remedies  Cumulative.  The remedies of Landlord herein are cumulative to
        --------------------
and not in lieu of any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity.
The  use  of  any one remedy shall not be taken to exclude or waive the right to
use  any  other  remedy.
8.10     Waivers.  Tenant waives [i] any notice required by statute or other law
         -------
as a condition to bringing an action for possession of, or eviction from, any of
the Leased Property, [ii] any right of re-entry or repossession, [iii] any right
to  a  trial  by  jury in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to
this Lease, [iv]  any right of redemption whether pursuant to statute, at law or
in  equity,  [v]  all  presentments,  demands  for  performance,  notices  of
nonperformance,  protest,  notices  of  protest, notices of dishonor, notices to
quit  and  any  other notice or demand of any kind other than those specifically
provided  for  in this Lease, and [vi] all notices of the existence, creation or
incurring  of  any  obligation  or advance under this Lease before or after this
date.
8.11     Obligations Under the Bankruptcy Code.  Upon filing of a petition by or
         -------------------------------------
against  Tenant  under  the  Bankruptcy  Code,  Tenant,  as  debtor  and  as
debtor-in-possession,  and  any trustee who may be appointed with respect to the
assets  of or estate in bankruptcy of Tenant, agree to pay monthly in advance on
the  first  day  of  each  month,  as  reasonable  compensation  for the use and
occupancy  of  the  Leased Property, an amount equal to all Rent due pursuant to
this  Lease.  Included  within  and  in  addition  to  any  other  conditions or
obligations  imposed upon Tenant or its successor in the event of the assumption
and/or assignment of this Lease are the following:  [i] the cure of any monetary
defaults  and reimbursement of pecuniary loss within not more than five Business
Days  of  assumption and/or assignment; [ii] the deposit of an additional amount
equal  to  not less than three months' Base Rent, which amount is agreed to be a
necessary  and  appropriate  deposit to adequately assure the future performance
under  this  Lease of the Tenant or its assignee; and [iii] the continued use of
the Leased Property for the Facility Uses.  Nothing herein shall be construed as
an  agreement  by  Landlord  to  any  assignment  of  this  Lease or a waiver of
Landlord's right to seek adequate assurance of future performance in addition to
that  set  forth  hereinabove  in connection with any proposed assumption and/or
assignment  of  this  Lease.
                      ARTICLE 9:     DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION
9.1     Notice of Casualty.  If the Leased Property shall be destroyed, in whole
        ------------------
     or  in  part,  or  damaged  by  fire, flood, windstorm or other casualty in
excess  of  $150,000.00 (a "Casualty"), Tenant shall give written notice thereof
to  Landlord  within  two  Business  Days  after the occurrence of the Casualty.
Within  15  days  after  the occurrence of the Casualty or as soon thereafter as
such  information  is  reasonably  available to Tenant, Tenant shall provide the
following  information  to  Landlord:  [i]  the  date  of the Casualty; [ii] the
nature  of the Casualty; [iii] a description of the damage or destruction caused
by  the  Casualty, including the type of Leased Property damaged and the area of
the  Improvements  damaged;  [iv]  a preliminary estimate of the cost to repair,
rebuild,  restore  or replace the Leased Property; [v] a preliminary estimate of

the  Leased  Property;  [vi] a description of the anticipated property insurance
claim,  including  the  name  of the insurer, the insurance coverage limits, the
deductible  amount,  the expected settlement amount, and the expected settlement
date;  and [vii] a description of the business interruption claim, including the
name  of  the insurer, the insurance coverage limits, the deductible amount, the
expected  settlement amount, and the expected settlement date.  Within five days
after  request  from  Landlord,  Tenant will provide Landlord with copies of all
correspondence  to the insurer and any other information reasonably requested by
Landlord.
9.2     Substantial  Destruction.
        ------------------------
9.2.1     If  the  Facility Improvements are substantially destroyed at any time
other  than  during the final 18 months of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term,
Tenant  shall  promptly rebuild and restore such Improvements in accordance with
9.4  and Landlord shall make the insurance proceeds available to Tenant for such
restoration.  The term "substantially destroyed" means any casualty resulting in
     the  loss  of  use of 50% or more of the licensed beds at any one Facility.
9.2.2     If  the  Facility  Improvements are substantially destroyed during the
final  18  months of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, Landlord may elect to
terminate  this  Lease and retain the insurance proceeds unless Tenant exercises
its  option  to  renew as set forth in  9.2.3.  If Landlord elects to terminate,
Landlord  shall  give notice ("Termination Notice") of its election to terminate
this  Lease  within  30 days after receipt of Tenant's notice of the damage.  If
Tenant  does  not exercise its option to renew under  9.2.3 within 15 days after
delivery  of  the Termination Notice, this Lease shall terminate on the 15th day
after  delivery  of  the  Termination  Notice.  If  this Lease is so terminated,
Tenant  shall  be  liable  to  Landlord  for  all Rent and all other obligations
accrued  under  this  Lease  through  the  effective  date  of  termination.
9.2.3     If  the  Facility  Improvements are substantially destroyed during the
final  18  months of the Initial Term or the Renewal Term and Landlord gives the
Termination  Notice,  Tenant  shall have the option to renew this Lease.  Tenant
shall  give  Landlord irrevocable notice of Tenant's election to renew within 15
days  after  delivery of the Termination Notice.  If Tenant elects to renew, the
Renewal  Term  will be in effect for the balance of the then current Term plus a
15-year  period.  The  Renewal  Term  will  commence  on the third day following
Landlord's receipt of Tenant's notice of renewal.  All other terms of this Lease
for  the  Renewal Term shall be in accordance with Article 12.  The Improvements
will  be  restored by Tenant in accordance with the provisions of this Article 9
regarding  partial  destruction.
9.3     Partial Destruction.  If the Facility Improvements are not substantially
        -------------------
     destroyed,  then  Tenant  shall  comply  with  the  provisions  of  9.4 and
Landlord  shall  make  the  insurance  proceeds  available  to  Tenant  for such
restoration.
9.4     Restoration.  Subject  to any limitations imposed by law with respect to
        -----------
the rebuilding of the Leased Premises, Tenant shall promptly repair, rebuild, or
restore  the  damaged  Leased  Property,  at Tenant's expense, so as to make the
Leased  Property  at  least  equal  in  value  to  the  Leased Property existing
immediately prior to such occurrence and as nearly similar to it in character as
is practicable and reasonable.  Before beginning such repairs or rebuilding with
respect  to  any  Casualty,  or  letting  any  contracts in connection with such
repairs  or  rebuilding,  Tenant  will  submit  for  Landlord's  approval, which
approval  Landlord  will  not  unreasonably  withhold  or  delay,  plans  and
specifications meeting the requirements of  16.2 for such repairs or rebuilding.
Promptly  after  receiving  Landlord's approval of the plans and specifications,
Tenant  will begin such repairs or rebuilding and will prosecute the repairs and
rebuilding to completion with diligence, subject, however, to strikes, lockouts,
acts  of  God,  embargoes,  governmental  restrictions,  and other causes beyond
Tenant's  reasonable  control.  Landlord  will  make available to Tenant the net
proceeds  of  any  fire  or  other  casualty insurance paid to Landlord for such
repair  or  rebuilding  as  the same progresses, after deduction of any costs of
collection, including reasonable attorneys' fees.  Payments will be made against
properly  certified  vouchers of a competent architect in charge of the work and
approved  by Landlord.  Payments for deposits for the repairing or rebuilding or
delivery  of  materials  to the Facility will be made upon Landlord's receipt of
evidence  satisfactory  to  Landlord that such payments are required in advance.
With  respect  to any Casualty, prior to commencing the repairing or rebuilding,
Tenant  shall  deliver  to  Landlord  for Landlord's approval a schedule setting
forth  the  estimated  monthly draws for such work.  Landlord will contribute to
such  payments  out  of the insurance proceeds an amount equal to the proportion
that  the total net amount received by Landlord from insurers bears to the total
estimated  cost  of  the  rebuilding  or repairing, multiplied by the payment by
Tenant  on  account of such work.  Landlord may, however, withhold 10% from each
payment  until  the  work  is completed and proof has been furnished to Landlord
that  no lien or liability has attached or will attach to the Leased Property or
to  Landlord  in  connection  with  such  repairing  or  rebuilding.  Upon  the
completion  of  rebuilding  and the furnishing of such proof, the balance of the
net proceeds of such insurance payable to Tenant on account of such repairing or
rebuilding will be paid to Tenant.  If required by law as a result of the nature
or  extent of the damage, Tenant will obtain and deliver to Landlord a temporary
or  final  certificate  of  occupancy  before  the  damaged  Leased  Property is
reoccupied  for  any  purpose.  Tenant shall complete such repairs or rebuilding
free and clear of mechanic's or other liens, and in accordance with the building
codes  and all applicable laws, ordinances, regulations, or orders of any state,
municipal,  or  other  public authority affecting the repairs or rebuilding, and
also  in  accordance with all requirements of the insurance rating organization,
or  similar  body.  Any  remaining  proceeds of insurance after such restoration
will  be  Tenant's  property.
9.5     Insufficient  Proceeds.  If the proceeds of any insurance settlement are
        ----------------------
not  sufficient  to  pay the costs of Tenant's repair, rebuilding or restoration
under  9.4 in full, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord at Landlord's option, and
within  10  days  of  Landlord's  request,  an  amount  sufficient in Landlord's
reasonable  judgment to complete such repair, rebuilding or restoration or shall
provide  Landlord  with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that Tenant
has  available  the  funds  needed  to  complete  such  repair,  rebuilding  or
restoration.  Tenant shall not, by reason of the deposit or payment, be entitled
to  any  reimbursement  from  Landlord  or  diminution in or postponement of the
payment  of  the  Rent.
9.6     Not Trust Funds.  Notwithstanding anything herein or at law or equity to
        ---------------
the contrary, none of the insurance proceeds paid to Landlord as herein provided
shall  be  deemed trust funds, and Landlord shall be entitled to dispose of such
proceeds  as  provided  in this Article 9.  Tenant expressly assumes all risk of
loss,  including  a  decrease  in  the  use,  enjoyment  or value, of the Leased
Property  from  any  casualty  whatsoever,  whether  or not insurable or insured
against.
9.7     Landlord's  Inspection.  During  the  progress  of  such  repairs  or
        ----------------------
rebuilding,  Landlord  and  its architects and engineers may, from time to time,
        -
inspect  the  Leased  Property  and will be furnished, if required by them, with
copies  of all plans, shop drawings, and specifications relating to such repairs
or rebuilding.  Tenant will keep all plans, shop drawings, and specifications at
the  building, and Landlord and its architects and engineers may examine them at
all  reasonable  times  and  on  reasonable  notice.  If, during such repairs or
rebuilding, Landlord and its architects and engineers determine that the repairs
or  rebuilding  are  not  being  done  in accordance with the approved plans and
specifications,  Landlord  will  give  prompt  notice  in  writing  to  Tenant,
specifying  in  detail  the particular deficiency, omission, or other respect in
which Landlord claims such repairs or rebuilding do not accord with the approved
plans  and  specifications.  Upon  the  receipt  of any such notice, Tenant will
cause  corrections  to  be  made  to  any deficiencies, omissions, or such other
respect.  Tenant's obligations to supply insurance, according to Article 4, will
be  applicable  to  any  repairs  or  rebuilding  under  this  section.
9.8     Landlord's  Costs.  Tenant  shall,  within  30  days after receipt of an
        -----------------
invoice  from  Landlord,  pay  the costs, expenses, and fees of any architect or
engineer  employed  by  Landlord  to  review any plans and specifications and to
supervise  and  approve  any  construction, or for any services rendered by such
architect  or  engineer  to Landlord as contemplated by any of the provisions of
this  Lease, or for any services performed by Landlord's attorneys in connection
therewith.
9.9     No  Rent  Abatement.  Rent  will  not  abate  pending  the  repairs  or
        -------------------
rebuilding  of  the  Leased  Property.
        -
                          ARTICLE 10:     CONDEMNATION
10.1     Total  Taking.  If,  by  exercise  of the right of eminent domain or by
         -------------
conveyance  made  in  response  to  the  threat  of  the  exercise of such right
("Taking"),  the  entire  Facility Property is taken, or so much of the Facility
Property  is  taken  that  the  number  of  licensed  beds/units at the Facility
Property is reduced by more than 25% as a result of such Taking, then this Lease
     will  end  with respect to the Facility Property only on the earlier of the
vesting  of  title  to  the Facility Property in the condemning authority or the
taking  of possession of the Facility Property by the condemning authority.  All
damages  awarded  for such Taking under the power of eminent domain shall be the
property  of Landlord, whether such damages shall be awarded as compensation for
diminution  in  value  of  the  leasehold  or  the fee of the Facility Property,
provided, however, nothing herein shall preclude Tenant from pursuing a separate
award  for  the  Taking  of  its  Tenant's  Property  (as  defined below) or for
relocation  costs  or  expenses.
10.2     Partial  Taking.  If,  after a Taking, so much of the Facility Property
         ---------------
remains  that  the  Facility  Property  can  be  used for substantially the same
purposes  for  which  it  was  used immediately before the Taking, then [i] this
Lease  will  end  as to the part taken on the earlier of the vesting of title to
such  Leased Property in the condemning authority or the taking of possession of
the  Leased  Property  by the condemning authority and the Rent will be adjusted
accordingly;  [ii]  at  its  cost,  Tenant shall restore so much of the Facility
Property as remains to a sound architectural unit substantially suitable for the
purposes  for  which  it  was  used  immediately  before  the Taking, using good
workmanship  and  new,  first-class  materials;  [iii]  upon  completion  of the
restoration,  Landlord  will  pay  Tenant  the  lesser  of the net award made to
Landlord  on  the  account  of the Taking (after deducting from the total award,
reasonable  attorneys',  appraisers',  and  other  fees  and  costs  incurred in
connection  with  the  obtaining of the award and amounts paid to the holders of
mortgages  secured  by  the Facility Property), or Tenant's actual out-of-pocket
costs of restoring the Facility Property; and [iv] Landlord shall be entitled to
the  balance of the net award except to the extent specifically allocated to the
value  of  Tenant's  Property  or  any  relocation costs or expenses incurred by
Tenant  as  a result of such partial Taking.  The restoration shall be completed
in  accordance  with   9.4, 9.5, 9.7, 9.8 and 9.9 with such provisions deemed to
apply  to  condemnation  instead  of  casualty.
10.3     Condemnation  Proceeds  Not  Trust  Funds.  Notwithstanding anything in
         -----------------------------------------
this  Lease  or at law or equity to the contrary, none of the condemnation award
paid  to Landlord shall be deemed trust funds, and Landlord shall be entitled to
dispose  of  such  proceeds  as  provided  in this Article 10.  Tenant expressly
assumes  all risk of loss, including a decrease in the use, enjoyment, or value,
of  the  Leased  Property  from  any  Taking.
                        ARTICLE 11:     TENANT'S PROPERTY
11.1     Tenant's  Property.  Tenant shall have the right to install, place, and
         ------------------
use  on  the  Leased Property such fixtures, furniture, equipment, inventory and
other  personal  property  in addition to Landlord's Personal Property as may be
required  or  as  Tenant  may,  from  time  to time, deem necessary or useful to
operate  the  Leased  Property  for  its  permitted  purposes.  All  fixtures,
furniture,  equipment, inventory, and other personal property installed, placed,
or used on the Leased Property which is owned by Tenant or leased by Tenant from
     third  parties  is  hereinafter  referred  to  as  "Tenant's  Property".
11.2     Requirements  for  Tenant's  Property.  Tenant shall comply with all of
         -------------------------------------
the  following  requirements  in  connection  with  Tenant's  Property:
(a)     Tenant  shall,  at Tenant's sole cost and expense, maintain, repair, and
replace  Tenant's  Property.
(b)     Tenant  shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, keep Tenant's Property
insured  against  loss  or  damage  by  fire,  vandalism and malicious mischief,
sprinkler  leakage,  earthquake, and other physical loss perils commonly covered
by  fire  and  extended  coverage,  boiler  and  machinery,  and  difference  in
conditions insurance in an amount not less than 90% of the then full replacement
cost thereof.  Tenant shall use the proceeds from any such policy for the repair
and replacement of Tenant's Property.  The insurance shall meet the requirements
of  4.3.
(c)     Tenant  shall  pay  all  taxes  applicable  to  Tenant's  Property.
(d)     If Tenant's Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or any other cause,
Tenant  shall  have  the  right,  but  not  the obligation, to repair or replace
Tenant's  Property  (unless the same is required for the operation of the Leased
Property  in compliance with applicable Legal Requirements, in which case Tenant
shall be required to promptly repair or replace the same) unless Landlord elects
to  terminate  this  Lease  pursuant  to  9.2.2.
(e)     Unless an Event of Default or any event which, with the giving of notice
or  lapse  of  time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default has occurred,
Tenant  may  remove Tenant's Property from the Leased Property from time to time
provided  that  [i]  the  items  removed  are not required to operate the Leased
Property for the Facility Uses (unless such items are being replaced by Tenant);
and  [ii]  Tenant  repairs  any damage to the Leased Property resulting from the
removal  of  Tenant's  Property.
(f)     Tenant  shall  not,  without the prior written consent of Landlord or as
otherwise  provided  in  this  Lease,  remove  any  Tenant's  Property or Leased
Property.  Tenant shall, at Landlord's option, remove Tenant's Property upon the
termination  or  expiration  of  this  Lease  and shall repair any damage to the
Leased  Property  resulting  from  the  removal of Tenant's Property.  If Tenant
fails to remove Tenant's Property within 30 days after request by Landlord, then
Tenant  shall  be  deemed to have abandoned Tenant's Property, Tenant's Property
shall  become  the  property  of  Landlord,  and  Landlord may remove, store and
dispose  of  Tenant's  Property.  In  such  event, Tenant shall have no claim or
right  against Landlord for such property or the value thereof regardless of the
disposition  thereof  by  Landlord.  Tenant shall pay Landlord, upon demand, all
expenses  incurred  by  Landlord in removing, storing, and disposing of Tenant's
Property  and repairing any damage caused by such removal.  Tenant's obligations
hereunder  shall  survive  the  termination  or  expiration  of  this  Lease.
(g)     Tenant  shall  perform  its  obligations  under  any  equipment lease or
security  agreement  for  Tenant's  Property.  For equipment loans or leases for
critical  care  equipment and for all other equipment having an original cost in
excess  of  $250,000.00,  Tenant  shall cause such equipment lessor or lender to
enter  into  a  nondisturbance agreement with Landlord upon terms and conditions
acceptable  to  Landlord,  including,  without  limitation,  the following:  [i]
Landlord  shall have the right (but not the obligation) to assume such equipment
lease or security agreement upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by Tenant
hereunder;  [ii]  such  equipment  lessor or lender shall notify Landlord of any
default  by  Tenant  under  the  equipment  lease or security agreement and give
Landlord a reasonable opportunity to cure such default; and [iii] Landlord shall
have  the  right  to  assign  its  interest  in  the equipment lease or security
agreement  and  nondisturbance  agreement.  Tenant  shall,  within 30 days after
receipt  of  an  invoice  from  Landlord,  reimburse  Landlord for all costs and
expenses  incurred  in  reviewing  and  approving  the equipment lease, security
agreement  and  nondisturbance  agreement,  including,  without  limitation,
reasonable  attorneys'  fees  and  costs.
                         ARTICLE 12:     RENEWAL OPTIONS
12.1     Renewal  Options.  Tenant  has  the  option to renew ("Renewal Option")
         ----------------
this  Lease  for one 15-year renewal term ("Renewal Term").  Tenant can exercise
the  Renewal  Option  only  upon  satisfaction  of  the  following  conditions:
(a)     There  shall be no uncured Event of Default, or any event which with the
passage of time or giving of notice would constitute an Event of Default, at the
     time  Tenant  exercises its Renewal Option nor on the date the Renewal Term
is  to  commence.
(b)     Tenant  shall  give  Landlord  irrevocable  written notice of renewal no
later  than  the  date  which is [i] 90 days prior to the expiration date of the
Initial  Term;  or  [ii]  15  days  after Landlord's delivery of the Termination
Notice  as  set  forth  in  9.2.3.
12.2     Effect  of  Renewal.  The  following  terms  and  conditions  will  be
         -------------------
applicable  if  Tenant  renews  the  Lease:
(a)     Effective  Date.  Except  as otherwise provided in  9.2.3, the effective
        ---------------
date  of any Renewal Term will be the first day after the expiration date of the
Term.  The  first  day  of  the  Renewal Term is also referred to as the Renewal
Date.
(b)     Investment  Amount.  Effective  as  of  the  Renewal  Date,  a  single
        ------------------
Investment  Amount  will  be  computed  by summing all Landlord Payments made to
        -
date.
(c)     Rent  Adjustment.  Effective  as  of  the  Renewal  Date, Landlord shall
        ----------------
calculate  Base  Rent  for the Renewal Term in accordance with  2.1(c)(2) of the
Commitment  and  shall  issue  a  new  Rent  Schedule  reflecting  the Base Rent
adjustment.  Until Tenant receives a revised Rent Schedule from Landlord, Tenant
shall for each month [i] continue to make installments of Base Rent according to
the  Rent Schedule in effect on the day before the Renewal Date; and [ii] within
10  days following Landlord's issuance of an invoice, pay the difference between
the installment of Base Rent paid to Landlord for such month and the installment
of  Base  Rent  actually  due  for  such month as a result of the renewal of the
Lease.
(d)     Other  Terms  and Conditions.  Except for the modifications set forth in
        ----------------------------
this  12.2, all other terms and conditions of the Lease will remain the same for
the  Renewal  Term.
                   ARTICLE 13:     RIGHT OF FIRST OPPORTUNITY
13.1     Right  of  First Opportunity.  In the event at any time during the Term
         ----------------------------
either  [i]  Landlord  elects  to  seek  a purchaser of the Leased Property (the
"Right  of First Opportunity Event") or [ii] Landlord receives a bona fide offer
from  a  third  party  (the "Offer") setting forth the terms and conditions upon
which  it  proposes  to  purchase  the Leased Property which it is interested in
accepting,  but in no event shall Landlord be obligated to accept (the "Right of
First  Refusal  Event"),  the  following  provisions  shall  apply:
(a)     In  the event of the occurrence of the Right of First Opportunity Event,
Landlord  shall  provide  Tenant  with  written notice of its intent to sell the
Leased  Property  and  its proposed terms with respect thereto (the "Opportunity
Notice").  Landlord  and  Tenant  shall  have a period of 30 days after Tenant's
receipt  of the Opportunity Notice (the "Protected Period") to negotiate in good
faith  with  respect  to  the  terms and conditions under which such transaction
shall  occur provided that in no event shall the purchase price be less than the
Base  Price  and  shall  occur  on  the  terms  and  conditions set forth in the
Transaction  Documents  (as  defined below) (the "Opportunity Transaction").  In
the event Landlord and Tenant are unable to reach agreement within the Protected
     Period  with  respect  to  the  terms  of the Opportunity Transaction, then
Landlord  shall  be  free  to  enter  into  negotiations  with  respect  to  the
Opportunity Transaction with any other person or entity; provided, however, that
Landlord  shall  not  be  permitted  to  consummate a transaction with any other
person  or  entity  on  terms  which  are  less favorable to Landlord than those
offered  to Tenant during the Protected Period without first offering Tenant the
opportunity  on  written  notice  setting  forth  such  terms  to consummate the
Opportunity  Transaction on such alternative terms and conditions (the "Modified
Opportunity  Notice");  provided,  however,  that Tenant shall be deemed to have
waived  its  right  to  proceed with such revised Opportunity Transaction in the
event  it  does  not  advise  Landlord of its election to proceed within 10 days
after  its  receipt  of  the  Modified  Opportunity  Notice.
(b)     In  the  event  of  the  occurrence  of  a Right of First Refusal Event,
Landlord  shall  provide  Tenant  with a true and correct copy of the Offer (the
"Right of First Refusal Notice").  Tenant shall have 20 days from its receipt of
the  Right  of  First Refusal Notice to advise Landlord in writing whether it is
prepared to purchase the Leased Property on the same terms and conditions as set
forth  in  the Offer.  Tenant's failure to so advise Landlord within such 20 day
period shall be deemed to be a determination by Tenant not to exercise the right
of  first  refusal  provided for herein, at which time Landlord shall be free to
consummate  the  transaction  which  was  the  subject  of  the Offer; provided,
however,  that  Landlord shall not be permitted to modify the terms specified in
the Offer in an manner more favorable to the third party than those reflected in
the  original  Offer  (the "Modified Offer") without first again offering Tenant
the  opportunity  to  consummate  a  transaction  on  the terms set forth in the
Modified  Offer;  provided,  however, that Tenant shall be deemed to have waived
its  right  to  proceed  with such a transaction in the event it does not advise
Landlord  of  its  election  to  proceed within 10 days after its receipt of the
Modified  Offer.
(c)     In  the  event  Landlord  does not consummate a transaction on the terms
provided  for  in the Offer or the Modified Offer, as applicable, within 90 days
after  the  date  thereof,  Landlord  shall  not be permitted to sell the Leased
Property to the Offeror or to any other party, whether on the terms set forth in
the  Offer  or  the  Modified  Offer,  as applicable, or pursuant to a new Offer
without again first offering Tenant an option to consummate a transaction on the
terms  specified  in  the  Offer,  the  Modified  Offer  or  any  new  Offer, as
applicable;  provided,  however,  that Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its
rights  hereunder  in  the  event it does not advise Landlord of its election to
proceed  within 10 days after its receipt of another copy of the Offer or of the
Modified  Offer  or  the  new  Offer,  as  applicable.
(d)     In  the  event  Tenant  exercises its right of first refusal or right of
first  opportunity  provided for herein, Tenant and Landlord shall have a period
of  30  days in which to enter into one or more written agreements outlining the
terms  and  conditions,  in  addition  to  those  set  forth in the Offer or the
Modified  Offer,  if  applicable, on which the sale will occur (the "Transaction
Documents").  In  the  event Landlord and Tenant fail to execute the Transaction
Documents  within  said  30  day  period,  then  Tenant  shall be deemed to have
forfeited  its  rights  hereunder  with  respect  to such transaction; provided,
however, that Landlord shall not be permitted to sell the Leased Property to any
other  person or entity on terms which are less favorable to Landlord than those
offered to Tenant during the Protected Period or beyond the expiration of the 90
day period provided for in clause (c), without first complying with the terms of
this  13.1  unless  Landlord  and  Tenant  failed  to  execute  the  Transaction
Documents  as  a result of Tenant's bad faith in the negotiation of the terms of
such  Transaction  Documents,  in which case Landlord shall be permitted to sell
the  Leased  Property  to  any other person or entity regardless of the terms of
such  transaction.
(e)     Any  sale  of the Lease Property by Landlord pursuant to this  13, other
than  to  Tenant,  shall  be  subject  to the rights of Tenant under this Lease,
including,  but  not  limited  to,  its  rights  under  this  13.
(f)     At  the  time  of  the acquisition of the Leased Property by Tenant, the
then  outstanding  amount  of principal and accrued and unpaid interest, if any,
due  under  the  $4,400,000  Note  shall  be  due and payable in full or if said
$4,400,000  Note  is  consolidated, then the lesser of $4,400,000.00 or the then
outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest of said consolidated note.
13.2     Closing.  Any  closing  pursuant  to, and the consequences to Tenant of
         -------
failing  to close after exercising its rights under  13.1 shall be in accordance
with  the  terms set forth in the Offer or Modified Offer and in the Transaction
Documents  executed  pursuant  to  the  terms  of  this  Article  13.
                       ARTICLE 14:     NEGATIVE COVENANTS
     Until  the  Obligor  Group  Obligations  shall have been performed in full,
Tenant  and  Guarantor  covenant  and  agree  that  Tenant  (and Guarantor where
applicable)  shall not do any of the following without the prior written consent
of  Landlord:

working  capital  purposes;  and  [iii]  indebtedness  that  is  secured  by any
Permitted  Lien.

14.3     No  Guaranties.  Tenant  shall  not create, incur, assume, or permit to
         --------------

the  ordinary  course  of  business.
14.4     No Transfer.  Tenant shall not sell, lease, sublease, mortgage, convey,
         -----------
assign  or  otherwise  transfer  any  legal  or equitable interest in the Leased

         ------------------------------------------------
terminated due to expiration of the Term, pursuant to an Event of Default or for
any  reason  other  than  Tenant's purchase of the Leased Property, or if Tenant
vacates  the  Leased  Property (or any part thereof) without termination of this
Lease  (other  than  during  periods  of  repair or reconstruction after damage,
destruction  or  a  Taking),  the  following  provisions  shall  be  immediately
effective:

           ---------
statements  requested by Landlord to effect the transfer of the Facility license

they  receive  confirmation  that  doing  so  will  not violate applicable Legal
Requirements  and they get appropriate indemnities from the Replacement Operator
in  form  and  substance  reasonably  acceptable  to  Tenant;  and  [iv] provide
reasonable  access during normal business hours and on reasonable advance notice
for  Landlord  and  its  agents  to  show  the Facility to potential replacement

replacement  operators  of  Facility  financial  statements,  licensure reports,
financial  and  property  due diligence materials and other documents, materials
and information relating to the Facility.  The provisions of this section do not
create  or  establish  any  rights  in  Tenant  or  any third party and Landlord
reserves  all  rights  and  remedies  relating  to  termination  of  this Lease.
15.10     Bed  Operating Rights.  Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the rights
          ---------------------
to  operate the beds located at the Facility as set forth on Exhibit C under the
law  of  the  Facility  State,  to relocate such bed operating rights to another
location  or  locations,  and  to  transfer  such  bed operating rights to third
parties,  are  property of the Landlord and are an integral part of the real and
personal  property  that  constitutes  the Leased Property.  Tenant has only the
right  to  use  of  such rights during the term of this Lease and subject to its
terms  and conditions.  Subject to applicable law and to the extent permitted by
law,  all  operating rights shall automatically revert to Landlord or Landlord's
designee  upon  the  expiration  or  termination  of  this  Lease for any reason
whatsoever  (other  than  Tenant's  purchase of the Leased Property) without any
requirement  of  a  transfer  or  the  payment  of  additional  consideration.
15.11     Power  of  Attorney.  Effective upon [i] the occurrence and during the
          -------------------
continuance  of  an  Event of Default, or [ii] termination of this Lease for any
reason  other  than  Tenant's  purchase  of  the  Leased Property, Tenant hereby
irrevocably  and  unconditionally  appoints  Landlord,  or Landlord's authorized
officer,  agent,  employee  or  designee,  as  Tenant's  true  and  lawful
attorney-in-fact,  to  act  for  Tenant  in  Tenant's name, place, and stead, to
execute,  deliver  and  file  all  applications  and any and all other necessary
documents  and  statements  to  effect  the  issuance,  transfer, reinstatement,
renewal  and/or  extension  of  the  Facility  license  and  all  Governmental
Authorizations  issued  to  Tenant  or  applied for by Tenant in connection with
Tenant's  operation  of  the Facility, to permit any designee of Landlord or any
other  transferee to operate the Facility under the Governmental Authorizations,
and to do any and all other acts incidental to any of the foregoing, but only in
the  event  Tenant  fails to take such actions or execute such documents after a
request  from  Landlord.  Tenant  irrevocably  and  unconditionally  grants  to
Landlord  as  its  attorney-in-fact  full  power and authority to do and perform
every  act  necessary  and  proper  to  be  done  in  the exercise of any of the
foregoing  powers  as fully as Tenant might or could do if personally present or
acting,  with  full  power  of substitution, hereby ratifying and confirming all
that said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.  This
power  of  attorney  is  coupled  with  an  interest and is irrevocable prior to
Tenant's  purchase  of  the Leased Property.  Landlord shall provide Tenant with
copies of any documents filed and/or with a summary of any action taken pursuant
to  this  power  of  attorney.
15.12     Compliance with Loan Documents.  Tenant and Guarantor acknowledge that
          ------------------------------
[i]  Landlord  is  acquiring  the  Leased Property subject to the Mortgage; [ii]
Landlord  and HCN will assume the obligations set forth in the Mortgage and Loan
Documents; and [iii] Landlord and HCN would not have assumed the obligations set
forth  in  the  Mortgage  or  the  Loan Documents without Tenant and Guarantor's
agreement  to  comply  with  the  terms  and  conditions  set  forth in the Loan
Documents as hereinafter set forth.  Tenant and Guarantor have each reviewed the
Loan  Documents  and are familiar with the terms and conditions thereof.  Tenant
and  Guarantor  agree  to  comply with the terms and conditions set forth in the
Loan  Documents  to  the  extent  such  terms  and conditions apply to Tenant or
Guarantor,  or  the  operation  of  the  Facility including, but not limited to,
satisfying  all insurance requirements, maintaining required reserves and escrow
accounts, making payments due thereunder other than regularly scheduled payments
of principal and interest, and granting access to the Property to the Lenders as
set  forth  in  the  Loan  Documents.  Neither  Tenant  nor  Guarantor shall, in
connection  with  either  Tenant's  or Guarantor's compliance with the terms and
conditions  of  the  Loan Documents and the operation of the Facility, create or
permit  any  third  party  (other  than  Landlord  for  which neither Tenant nor
Guarantor  assumes  any  responsibility  hereunder) to create any condition that
would  cause  an  Event  of  Default,  as  defined  in  any such Loan Documents.
Tenant's  or Guarantor's failure to comply with the Loan Documents to the extent
such  terms and conditions apply to Tenant or Guarantor, or the operation of the
Facility  and to cure same within any applicable cure period provided for in the
Loan  Documents  shall  be  an  Event  of  Default  under  this  Lease.
15.12.1       Tenant  acknowledges that under the terms of Landlord's assumption
of the Loan Documents, Lender has required the Letter of Credit.  Tenant agrees,
     at  Tenant's  sole  cost  and  expense,  to deliver the Letter of Credit to
Lender  and,  except  as  otherwise  provided  herein, to maintain the Letter of
Credit in effect for so long as required by Lender.  In the event of a draw upon
the  Letter  of  Credit  or  upon the expiration of the Letter of Credit, Tenant
shall  be  responsible,  at  Tenant's  sole  cost  and  expense,  to  provide  a
replacement  Letter  of  Credit  satisfactory  to  Lender unless the draw on the
Letter  of  Credit  is  caused  by  a  Landlord  Default as defined in  15.12.2.
15.12.2       In  the  event  of  a  Landlord  Default,  as hereinafter defined,
Landlord shall (i) upon demand by Tenant, reimburse Tenant for any amounts drawn
by  Lender  under  the  Letter  of  Credit  and for any other costs and expenses
incurred by Tenant as a result thereof, including but not limited to, reasonable
attorney  fees;  (ii)  thereafter  be  obligated,  at  Landlord's  sole cost and
expense,  to  provide  and  continuously maintain a replacement Letter of Credit
satisfactory to Lender unless a subsequent draw is caused by a Tenant Default as
defined  in  15.12.3,  in  which case  15.12.1 shall apply; and (iii) indemnify,
defend  and  hold  harmless  Tenant  and  Guarantor from and against any and all
demands,  claims,  causes  of  action,  fines,  penalties,  damages  (including
consequential  damages),  losses,  liabilities  (including  strict  liability),
judgments  and  expenses  (including,  without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
fees,  court  costs  and  the costs described in  8.7) to the extent incurred by
Tenant  as  a result of the Landlord Default including, but not limited to, as a
result  of  the  foreclosure  by  Lender  with  respect to any of the collateral
provided  by  Tenant  or Guarantor under the Loan Documents or the taking of any
other  action  by  the Lender against Tenant or Guarantor under the terms of the
Loan  Documents.  Landlord Default shall mean an Event of Default under the Loan
Document caused solely by the acts or omissions of Landlord or HCN and is not an
Event  of  Default  under a Loan Document arising due to Tenant's or Guarantor's
failure  to comply with the terms and conditions of a Loan Document as agreed to
by  Tenant  and  Guarantor  pursuant  to  15.12  ("Landlord  Defaults").
15.12.3       Upon  the  occurrence  of  an  Event  of  Default  under  the Loan
Documents  caused  by  Tenant  ("Tenant Default"), Tenant or Guarantor shall (i)
upon  demand by Landlord or HCN, reimburse Landlord or HCN for any amounts drawn
by  Lender  under  the  Letter  of  Credit  and for any other costs and expenses
incurred  by  Landlord or HCN as a result thereof, including but not limited to,
reasonable attorney fees; provided, however, this clause (i) shall only apply if
the  Tenant  Default  occurs after the occurrence of a Landlord Default and at a
time when the Letter of Credit has been posted by Landlord pursuant to  15.12.2;
(ii)  thereafter be obligated, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, to provide and
continuously  maintain  a  replacement  Letter  of Credit satisfactory to Lender
unless a subsequent draw is caused by a Landlord Default, in which case  15.12.2
shall apply; and (iii) indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord and HCN from
and  against  any  and  all demands, claims, causes of action, fines, penalties,
damages (including consequential damages), losses, liabilities (including strict
liability),  judgments  and  expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys'  fees,  court  costs  and  the costs described in  8.7) to the extent
incurred by Landlord or HCN as a result of the Tenant Default including, but not
limited  to, as a result of the foreclosure by Lender with respect to any of the
collateral provided by Landlord or HCN under the Loan Documents or the taking of
any  other  action  by the Lender against Landlord or HCN under the terms of the
Loan  Documents.
15.12.4       Landlord  shall,  within  five Business Days after receipt thereof
from  Lender,  deliver  to  Tenant all notices received by Landlord from Lender.
Tenant  shall,  within  five  Business  Days  after receipt thereof from Lender,
deliver  to  Landlord  all  notices  received  by  Tenant from Lender.  Landlord
further  acknowledges  and  agrees  that  Tenant  shall not be in default of its
obligations  under  this  15.12  in  the  event  Tenant  fails  to  fulfill  the
obligations  imposed under a Loan Document as and when due solely as a result of
the  failure  of Landlord to remit any such Lender notice within the time period
specified  herein  and  that  in  the event of a draw by Lender on the Letter of
Credit  as  a result thereof, the same shall be deemed to be a Landlord Default.
          ARTICLE 16:     ALTERATIONS, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS, AND SIGNS

         -----------------------------------------------

and  such  other  information  as  may  be  reasonably  requested  by  Landlord
(collectively  the  "Plans and Specifications") showing in reasonable detail the
scope  and  nature of the Alterations that Tenant desires to perform.  It is the
intent  of  the  parties  hereto that the level of detail shall be comparable to
that which is referred to in the architectural profession as "design development
drawings"  as  opposed  to working or biddable drawings.  Landlord agrees not to
unreasonably  delay  its review of the Plans and Specifications.  Within 30 days
after  receipt  of an invoice, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all costs and
expenses  incurred  by  Landlord  in  reviewing  and,  if required, approving or
disapproving  the  Plans and Specifications, inspecting the Leased Property, and
otherwise monitoring compliance with the terms of this Article 16.  Tenant shall

having  a  total cost of less than $250,000.00 individually or in the aggregate;
[iv] repairs, rebuilding and restoration required or undertaken pursuant to  9.4
or  [v]  non-structural Alterations such as painting, landscaping, wallpapering,
installing  new  floor  coverings,  etc.  without  regard  to  the cost thereof.
16.4     Requirements  for  Permitted Alterations.  Tenant shall comply with all
         ----------------------------------------
of  the  following  requirements  in  connection with any Permitted Alterations:
(a)     The  Permitted Alterations shall be made in accordance with the approved
Plans  and  Specifications.
(b)     The Permitted Alterations and the installation thereof shall comply with
all  applicable  legal  requirements  and  insurance  requirements.
(c)     The  Permitted  Alterations  shall  be  done  in  a good and workmanlike
manner,  shall  not  impair  the value or the structural integrity of the Leased
Property,  and  shall  be  free  and  clear  of  all  mechanic's  liens.
(d)     For  any  Permitted  Alterations  having  a total cost of $100,000.00 or
more,  Tenant  shall  deliver to Landlord a payment and performance bond, with a
surety  acceptable  to Landlord, in an amount equal to the estimated cost of the
Permitted Alterations, guaranteeing the completion of the work free and clear of
liens  and  in accordance with the approved Plans and Specifications, and naming
Landlord  and  any  mortgagee  of  Landlord  as  joint  obligees  on  such bond.
(e)     Tenant  shall,  at  Tenant's expense, obtain a builder's completed value
risk  policy of insurance insuring against all risks of physical loss, including
collapse  and transit coverage, in a nonreporting form, covering the total value

initial  occupancy.  Landlord  and any mortgagee of Landlord shall be additional
insureds  of such policy.  Landlord shall have the right to approve the form and
substance  of  such  policy.
(f)     Tenant  shall  pay  the  premiums required to increase the amount of the
insurance  coverages required by Article 4 to reflect the increased value of the
Improvements resulting from installation of the Permitted Alterations, and shall
deliver  to  Landlord  a  certificate  evidencing  the  increase  in  coverage.
(g)     Tenant  shall,  not later than 60 days after completion of the Permitted
Alterations,  deliver to Landlord a revised "as-built" survey of the Facility if
the  Permitted  Alterations  altered the Land or "footprint" of the Improvements
and  an "as-built" set of Plans and Specifications for the Permitted Alterations
in  form  and  substance  satisfactory  to  Landlord.
(h)     Tenant  shall,  not  later than 30 days after Landlord sends an invoice,
reimburse  Landlord  for any reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys'
fees  and architects' and engineers' fees, incurred in connection with reviewing
and  approving  the  Permitted Alterations and ensuring Tenant's compliance with
the  requirements  of  this  section.  The  daily  fee for Landlord's consulting
engineer  is  $750.00.
16.5     Ownership  and  Removal  of  Permitted  Alterations.  The  Permitted
         ---------------------------------------------------
Alterations  shall  become a part of the Leased Property, owned by Landlord, and
leased  to  Tenant  subject  to  the terms and conditions of this Lease.  Tenant
shall  not  be  required  or  permitted  to  remove  any  Permitted Alterations.
16.6     Minimum  Qualified  Capital Expenditures.  During each calendar year of
         ----------------------------------------
the  Term,  Tenant  shall expend at least $300.00 per unit for Qualified Capital
Expenditures  to  improve  the Facility.  Thereafter throughout the Term, Tenant
shall expend such amount each calendar year, increased annually in proportion to
     increases  in  the  CPI.  At  least  annually,  at the request of Landlord,
Landlord  and  Tenant  shall  review  capital  expenditures budgets and agree on
modifications,  if  any,  required  by  changed  circumstances  and  the changed
conditions  of  the  Leased  Property.  Upon request from Tenant, Landlord shall
cooperate  with  Tenant  to  secure  the  release of funds held by Lender in the
Lender  Maintenance Reserve Escrow to the extent such funds are available as set
forth in the Loan Documents.  Tenant's obligations set forth in this  16.6 shall
not  be  conditioned  upon  the  release  of  funds  by  Lender  from the Lender
Maintenance  Reserve  Fund.
16.7     Signs.  Tenant  may,  at  its  own  expense,  erect  and  maintain
         -----
identification signs at the Leased Property, provided such signs comply with all
         ---
     laws,  ordinances,  and regulations.  Upon the termination or expiration of
this  Lease  (other  than  as a result of the exercise by Tenant of its purchase
rights),  Tenant  shall,  within  30 days after notice from Landlord, remove the
signs  and  restore  the  Leased  Property  to  its  original  condition.
                            ARTICLE 17:     RESERVED
             ARTICLE 18:     ASSIGNMENT AND SALE OF LEASED PROPERTY
18.1     Prohibition  on  Assignment  and  Subletting.  Tenant acknowledges that
         --------------------------------------------
Landlord  has  entered  into this Lease in reliance on the personal services and
business  expertise  of  Tenant.  Tenant  may  not  assign,  sublet,  mortgage,
hypothecate,  pledge, grant a right of first refusal or transfer any interest in
this  Lease,  or  in the Leased Property, in whole or in part, without the prior
written  consent  of  Landlord,  which  Landlord  may  withhold  in its sole and
absolute discretion.  The following transactions will be deemed an assignment or
     sublease  requiring Landlord's prior written consent:  [i] an assignment by
operation  of  law;  [ii]  an  imposition (whether or not consensual) of a lien,
mortgage,  or  encumbrance  upon Tenant's interest in the Lease; [iii] except as
otherwise  permitted  by   14.4  and  18.3,  an  arrangement (including, but not
limited  to,  management agreements, concessions, licenses, and easements) which
allows  the  use  or  occupancy  of all or part of the Leased Property by anyone
other  than Tenant; and [iv] a material change of ownership of Tenant other than
changes  resulting  from  the  trading  of  Tenant's  or  Guarantor's stock on a
national  stock  exchange.  Landlord's consent to any assignment, right of first
refusal  or sublease will not release Tenant (or any guarantor) from its payment
and  performance obligations under this Lease, but rather Tenant, any guarantor,
and Tenant's assignee or sublessee will be jointly and severally liable for such
payment  and  performance.  An  assignment,  right  of first refusal or sublease
without the prior written consent of Landlord will be void at Landlord's option.
Landlord's  consent  to  one assignment, right of first refusal or sublease will
not  waive  the  requirement  of  its  consent  to  any subsequent assignment or
sublease.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  Tenant  may enter into a Management
Agreement  with  Guarantor.
18.2     Requests  for  Landlord's Consent to Assignment, Sublease or Management
         -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Agreement.  If  Tenant  is  required  to obtain Landlord's consent to a specific
 --------
assignment,  sublease,  or  management agreement, Tenant shall give Landlord [i]
 --
the name and address of the proposed assignee, subtenant or manager; [ii] a copy
 -
of  the  proposed assignment, sublease or management agreement; [iii] reasonably
satisfactory  information about the nature, business and business history of the
proposed  assignee,  subtenant,  or  manager  and its proposed use of the Leased
Property;  and  [iv]  banking,  financial,  and  other  credit  information, and
references  about  the  proposed  assignee,  subtenant  or manager sufficient to
enable  Landlord  to determine the financial responsibility and character of the
proposed assignee, subtenant or manager.  Any assignment, sublease or management
agreement  shall  contain  provisions  to  the  effect that [a] such assignment,
sublease  or management agreement is subject and subordinate to all of the terms
and  provisions  of  this  Lease  and  to  the  rights  of Landlord and that the
assignee,  subtenant  or  manager shall comply with all applicable provisions of
this  Lease;  [b]  such  assignment, sublease or management agreement may not be
modified  without  the  prior written consent of Landlord not to be unreasonably
withheld  or delayed; [c] if this Lease shall terminate before the expiration of
such  assignment,  sublease  or management agreement, the assignee, subtenant or
manager  thereunder  will, solely at Landlord's option and only upon the express
written  notice  of  attornment  from Landlord, attorn to Landlord and waive any
right  the  assignee, subtenant or manager may have to terminate the assignment,
sublease  or management agreement or surrender possession thereunder as a result
of  the termination of this Lease; and [d] if the assignee, subtenant or manager
receives  a written notice from Landlord stating that Tenant is in default under
this  Lease, the assignee, subtenant or manager shall thereafter pay all rentals
or  payments  under the assignment, sublease or management agreement directly to
Landlord  until  such  default  has  been  cured.  Any  attempt  or  offer by an
assignee,  subtenant  or  manager  to attorn to Landlord shall not be binding or
effective  without  the  express  written  consent  of  Landlord.  Tenant hereby
collaterally  assigns  to  Landlord,  as  security  for  the  performance of its
obligations  hereunder, all of Tenant's right, title, and interest in and to any
assignment,  sublease  or management agreement now or hereafter existing for all
or  part  of  the  Leased  Property.  Tenant  shall, at the request of Landlord,
execute  such other instruments or documents as Landlord may request to evidence
this  collateral  assignment.  If Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion,
consents  to  such  assignment,  sublease, or management agreement, such consent
shall  not  be  effective  until  [i] a fully executed copy of the instrument of
assignment,  sublease  or  management  agreement has been delivered to Landlord;
[ii] in the case of an assignment, Landlord has received a written instrument in
which the assignee has assumed and agreed to perform all of Tenant's obligations
under the Lease; and [iii] Tenant has paid to Landlord a fee in the amount equal
to  the  lesser  of  Landlord's  actual  out-of-pocket  costs  and  expenses and
$2,500.00  (applies  only  to  consent  requests  after  the  Closing); and [iv]
Landlord  has  received  reimbursement  from  Tenant  or  the  assignee  for all
attorneys'  fees  and  expenses  and all other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred  in connection with determining whether to give its consent, giving its
consent  and  all  matters  relating  to the assignment (applies only to consent
requests  after  the  Closing).
18.3     Agreements  with  Residents.  Notwithstanding  18.1,  Tenant  may enter
         ---------------------------
into  an  occupancy  agreement with residents of the Leased Property without the
prior  written  consent  of  Landlord  provided  that [i] the agreement does not
provide  for  lifecare services; [ii] the agreement does not contain any type of
rate  lock provision or rate guaranty for more than one calendar year; [iii] the
agreement  does  not  provide for any rent reduction or waiver other than for an
introductory  period  not to exceed six months; [iv] Tenant may not collect rent
for more than one month in advance, other than one month of rent collected to be
held as security for the performance of the resident's obligation to Tenant; and
[v]  all  residents  of  the  Leased Property are accurately shown in accounting
records  for  the  Facility.  Without  the prior written consent of Landlord and
Tenant  shall  not  change  the  form  of  resident occupancy agreement that was
submitted  to  Landlord  prior  to  the  Effective  Date.
18.4     Sale  of  Leased  Property.  If Landlord or any subsequent owner of the
         --------------------------
Leased  Property sells the Leased Property, its liability for the performance of
its  agreements  in  this  Lease  will end on the date of the sale of the Leased
Property,  and  Tenant  will look solely to the purchaser for the performance of
those  agreements.  For  purposes  of  this section, any holder of a mortgage or
security  agreement  which  affects  the  Leased  Property  at any time, and any
landlord under any lease to which this Lease is subordinate at any time, will be
a  subsequent  owner  of the Leased Property when it succeeds to the interest of
Landlord  or  any  subsequent  owner  of  the  Leased  Property.
18.5     Assignment  by  Landlord.  Landlord  may  transfer,  assign,  mortgage,
         ------------------------
collaterally  assign,  or otherwise dispose of Landlord's interest in this Lease
or  the  Leased  Property.
                     ARTICLE 19:     HOLDOVER AND SURRENDER
19.1     Holding  Over.  If  Tenant,  with  or  without  the  express or implied
         -------------
consent  of  Landlord,  continues to hold and occupy the Leased Property (or any
part  thereof)  after  the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this
Lease  (other  than  pursuant to Tenant's purchase of the Leased Property), such
holding  over  beyond  the  Term and the acceptance or collection of Rent in the
amount  specified below by Landlord shall operate and be construed as creating a
tenancy  from  month  to  month  and  not  for  any other term whatsoever.  Said
month-to-month  tenancy may be terminated by Landlord by giving Tenant five days
written  notice,  and  at  any  time  thereafter  Landlord may re-enter and take
possession  of  the  Leased  Property.  If  without  Landlord's  consent  or  at
Landlord's request, Tenant continues after the expiration of the Term or earlier
     termination of this Lease to hold and occupy the Leased Property whether as
a month-to-month tenant or a tenant at sufferance or otherwise, Tenant shall pay
Rent  for  each month in an amount equal to the sum of [i] one and one-half (1 )
times  the  Base  Rent  payable  during  the  month  in which such expiration or
termination  occurs,  plus  [ii]  all Additional Rent accruing during the month,
plus  [iii]  any  and  all  other sums payable by Tenant pursuant to this Lease.
During  any  continued  tenancy  after  the  expiration  of  the Term or earlier
termination  of this Lease, Tenant shall be obligated to perform and observe all
of  the  terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, but shall have no rights
hereunder  other  than  the  right,  to  the  extent given by applicable law, to
continue  its  occupancy  and  use  of  the Leased Property until the tenancy is
terminated.  Nothing  contained  herein shall constitute the consent, express or
implied,  of  Landlord  to  the  holding  over of Tenant after the expiration or
earlier  termination  of  this  Lease.
19.2     Surrender.  Except  for  [i]  Permitted  Alterations;  [ii]  normal and
         ---------
reasonable  wear  and  tear (subject to the obligation of Tenant to maintain the
Leased  Property in good order and repair during the Term); and [iii] damage and
destruction  not  required  to be repaired by Tenant, Tenant shall surrender and
deliver  up  the Leased Property at the expiration or termination of the Term in
as good order and condition as of the Commencement Date.  The provisions of this
19.2  shall  not  apply  in  the event of the termination of this Lease upon the
purchase  of  the  Leased  Property  by  Tenant.
19.3     Indemnity.  If  Tenant fails to surrender the entire Leased Property or
         ---------
any  part  thereof  upon the expiration or termination of this Lease in a timely
manner  and  in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, in addition to any
other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall defend, indemnify
     and  hold  Landlord,  its  principals,  officers,  directors,  agents,  and
employees  harmless  from  loss  or  liability  resulting  from  such  failure,
including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, loss of rental with
respect to any new lease in which the rental payable thereunder exceeds the Rent
collected  by  Landlord  pursuant to this Lease during Tenant's holdover and any
claims  by  any proposed new tenant founded on Tenant's failure to surrender the
Leased Property.  The provisions of this Article 19 shall survive the expiration
or  termination  of this Lease.  The provisions of this  19.3 shall not apply in
the  event  of  the  termination  of  this Lease upon the purchase of the Leased
Property  by  Tenant.
                           ARTICLE 20:     [RESERVED]
      ARTICLE 21:     QUIET ENJOYMENT, SUBORDINATION, ATTORNMENT AND ESTOPPEL
                                  CERTIFICATES
21.1     Quiet  Enjoyment.  So  long  as  Tenant performs all of its obligations
         ----------------
under  this  Lease,  Tenant's  possession  of  the  Leased  Property will not be
disturbed  by  Landlord  or  any  party  claiming by, through or under Landlord.
21.2     Subordination.  Subject  to  the  terms and conditions of this section,
         -------------
this  Lease  and  Tenant's rights under this Lease are subordinate to any ground
lease  or  underlying lease, first mortgage, first deed of trust, or other first
lien  against  the  Leased  Property,  together with any renewal, consolidation,
extension,  modification  or replacement thereof, which now or at any subsequent
time  affects  the  Leased  Property  or  any interest of Landlord in the Leased
Property,  except to the extent that any such instrument expressly provides that
this  Lease  is  superior.  The  foregoing  subordination provision is expressly
conditioned  upon any lessor or mortgagee being obligated and bound to recognize
Tenant  as  the tenant under this Lease, and such lessor or mortgagee shall have
no  right  to  disturb  Tenant's  possession,  use  and  occupancy of the Leased
Property  or  Tenant's enjoyment of its rights under this Lease unless and until
an  Event  of Default occurs hereunder.  Any foreclosure action or proceeding by
any  mortgagee  with  respect  to  the Leased Property shall not affect Tenant's
rights  under  this Lease and shall not terminate this Lease unless and until an
Event  of  Default  occurs  hereunder.  The  foregoing  provisions  will  be
self-operative,  and  no  further instrument will be required in order to effect
them.  However,  Tenant  shall  execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, at
any time and from time to time upon demand by Landlord, such documents as may be
requested  by  Landlord  or any mortgagee or any holder of any mortgage or other
instrument  described  in  this  section,  to  confirm  or  effect  any  such
subordination,  provided  that  any such document shall include a nondisturbance
provision as set forth in this section satisfactory to Tenant.  Any mortgagee of
the  Leased Property shall be deemed to be bound by the nondisturbance provision
set  forth in this section.  If Tenant fails or refuses to execute, acknowledge,
and  deliver any such document within 20 days after written demand, Landlord may
execute  acknowledge  and  deliver  any  such  document  on  behalf of Tenant as
Tenant's  attorney-in-fact.  Tenant  hereby constitutes and irrevocably appoints
Landlord,  its  successors and assigns, as Tenant's attorney-in-fact to execute,
acknowledge,  and  deliver  on  behalf of Tenant any documents described in this
section.  This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.
21.3     Attornment.  If  any  holder of any mortgage, indenture, deed of trust,
         ----------
or  other  similar instrument described in  21.2 succeeds to Landlord's interest
in  the  Leased  Property,  Tenant will pay to such holder all Rent subsequently
payable  under  this  Lease.  Tenant shall, upon request of anyone succeeding to
the  interest  of  Landlord,  automatically become the tenant of, and attorn to,
such  successor  in  interest  without  changing  this  Lease.  The successor in
interest will not be bound by [i] any payment of Rent for more than one month in
advance  unless  actually  received  by  the  successor;  [ii]  any amendment or
modification  of  this  Lease thereafter made without its consent as provided in
this  Lease; [iii] any claim against Landlord arising prior to the date on which
the  successor  succeeded to Landlord's interest; or [iv] any claim or offset of
Rent  against  Landlord.  Upon request by Landlord or such successor in interest
and without cost to Landlord or such successor in interest, Tenant will execute,
acknowledge  and deliver an instrument or instruments confirming the attornment.
If  Tenant  fails  or  refuses  to  execute,  acknowledge,  and deliver any such
instrument  within 20 days after written demand, then Landlord or such successor
in  interest  will be entitled to execute, acknowledge, and deliver any document
on behalf of Tenant as Tenant's attorney-in-fact.  Tenant hereby constitutes and
irrevocably  appoints  Landlord,  its  successors  and  assigns,  as  Tenant's
attorney-in-fact  to  execute,  acknowledge, and deliver on behalf of Tenant any
such  document.  This  power  of  attorney  is  coupled  with an interest and is
irrevocable.
21.4     Estoppel  Certificates.  At the request of Landlord or any mortgagee or
         ----------------------
purchaser of the Leased Property, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver
an  estoppel  certificate,  in  recordable  form,  in  favor  of Landlord or any
mortgagee  or  purchaser  of  the Leased Property certifying the following:  [i]
that the Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, or if there have been
modifications  that the same is in full force and effect as modified and stating
the modifications; [ii] the date to which Rent and other charges have been paid;
[iii]  whether  Tenant or Landlord is in default or whether there is any fact or
condition  known  to  Landlord or Tenant which, with notice or lapse of time, or
both,  would  constitute a default, and specifying any existing default, if any;
[iv]  that Tenant has accepted and occupies the Leased Property; [v] that Tenant
has  no  defenses,  setoffs,  deductions,  credits,  or  counterclaims  against
Landlord,  if  that  be  the  case, or specifying such that exist; and [vi] such
other information as may reasonably be requested by Landlord or any mortgagee or
purchaser.  Any  purchaser  or  mortgagee may rely on this estoppel certificate.
If  Tenant fails to deliver the estoppel certificates to Landlord within 10 days
after  the  request  of  Landlord, then Tenant shall be deemed to have certified
that  [a]  the  Lease  is in full force and effect and has not been modified, or
that  the  Lease  has been modified as set forth in the certificate delivered to
Tenant;  [b]  Tenant  has  not  prepaid any Rent or other charges except for the
current  month;  [c]  Tenant  has accepted and occupies the Leased Property; [d]
neither  Tenant  nor  Landlord  is in default nor is there any fact or condition
which,  with  notice  or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default; and
[e]  Tenant  has  no  defenses,  setoffs,  deductions, credits, or counterclaims
against  Landlord.  Tenant  hereby  irrevocably  appoints  Landlord  as Tenant's
attorney-in-fact  to  execute,  acknowledge,  and deliver on Tenant's behalf any
estoppel  certificate  to  which  Tenant  does  not  object within 10 days after
Landlord  sends  the  certificate  to Tenant.  This power of attorney is coupled
with  an  interest  and  is  irrevocable.
                 ARTICLE 22:     REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
     Tenant hereby makes the following representations and warranties, as of the
Effective  Date, to Landlord and acknowledge that Landlord is granting the Lease
in  reliance upon such representations and warranties.  Tenant's representations
and  warranties shall survive the Closing and, except to the extent made as of a
specific  date,  shall continue in full force and effect until the Obligor Group
Obligations  have  been  performed  in  full.

         --------
not  require  any consent, approval, authorization, order, or declaration of, or
any  filing  or  registration  with,  any  court,  any  federal, state, or local
governmental or regulatory authority, or any other person or entity, the absence
of  which  would materially impair the ability of Tenant to operate the Facility
for  the  Facility  Uses except for the post-acquisition filing for licensure of
the  Facility.

Property  to  secure  the  payment  and  performance  of  all  the Obligor Group
Obligations.

         ------------
by  Landlord  to  be invalid or unenforceable, such holding shall not affect the

25.5     Captions  and Headings.  The captions and headings are inserted only as

25.8     Waiver.  No  waiver  by  Landlord  of  any condition or covenant herein

taken  to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of such covenant or condition, or
to  permit  or  excuse  its  continuance  or any future breach thereof or of any
condition  or covenant, nor shall the acceptance of Rent by Landlord at any time
when  Tenant  is in default in the performance or observance of any condition or
covenant herein be construed as a waiver of such default, or of Landlord's right
to  terminate  this Lease or exercise any other remedy granted herein on account
of  such  existing  default.
25.9     Binding  Effect.  This  Lease  will  be  binding  upon and inure to the

benefit  of  the  heirs,  successors,  personal  representatives,  and permitted
assigns  of  Landlord  and  Tenant.
25.10     No  Offer.  Landlord's  submission  of  this Lease to Tenant is not an
          ---------
offer  to  lease the Leased Property, or an agreement by Landlord to reserve the
Leased  Property  for Tenant.  Landlord will not be bound to Tenant until Tenant
has  duly  executed  and  delivered  duplicate  original leases to Landlord, and
Landlord  has duly executed and delivered one of these duplicate original leases
to  Tenant.
25.11     Modification.  This  Lease may only be modified by a writing signed by

merger  or consolidation of Tenant or Guarantor, any assumption of the Lease, or
any  modification  of  the  Lease,  Tenant  shall  provide Landlord all relevant
information and documents sufficient to enable Landlord to evaluate the request.

attorney's  fees  and  expenses  and  other  reasonable  out-of-pocket  expenses

preparation  of  any  documents  and amendments, the subsequent amendment of any
documents  between Landlord and its collateral pool lenders (if applicable), and
all  related  matters.
25.12     Landlord's  Modification.  Tenant  acknowledges  that, provided Lender
          ------------------------
consents  or  the Lender has been paid in full, Landlord may mortgage the Leased
Property  or  use  the Leased Property as collateral for collateralized mortgage
obligations  or  Real  Estate  Mortgage  Investment  Companies (REMICS).  If any
mortgage  lender  of  Landlord  desires  any  modification of this Lease, Tenant
agrees  to  consider such modification in good faith and to execute an amendment
of  this Lease if Tenant finds such modification acceptable.  Landlord shall not
do  anything in connection with its financing of the Leased Property which would
limit  the  rights  granted  Tenant  hereunder.
25.13     No  Merger.  The surrender of this Lease by Tenant or the cancellation
          ----------
of  this  Lease  by  agreement of Tenant and Landlord or the termination of this
Lease  on  account  of  Tenant's  default  will  not work a merger, and will, at
Landlord's  option,  terminate  any  subleases  or  operate  as an assignment to
Landlord  of  any  subleases.  Landlord's  option  under  this paragraph will be
exercised  by  notice to Tenant and all known subtenants of the Leased Property.
25.14     Laches.  No  delay  or omission by either party hereto to exercise any
          ------
right  or  power  accruing  upon any noncompliance or default by the other party
with  respect to any of the terms hereof shall impair any such right or power or
be  construed  to  be  a  waiver  thereof.

          ----------------------------------
Landlord,  and any successor to the interest of Landlord in the Leased Property,
is  to the interest of Landlord, and any such successor, in the Leased Property.
Tenant will not have any right to satisfy any judgment which it may have against
Landlord,  or any such successor, from any other assets of Landlord, or any such
successor.  In  this  section,  the terms "Landlord" and "successor" include the
shareholders,  venturers,  and  partners  of  "Landlord" and "successor" and the
officers,  directors, and employees of the same.  The provisions of this section
are  not  intended to limit Tenant's right to seek injunctive relief or specific
performance.

          -----------------------
its  professional advisors and reviewed by Tenant and its professional advisors.
Landlord,  Tenant,  and their advisors believe that this Lease is the product of
all  their  efforts,  that it expresses their agreement, and agree that it shall
not  be  interpreted  in  favor  of  either Landlord or Tenant or against either
Landlord  or  Tenant  merely  because  of  their  efforts  in  preparing  it.

          ------------
each  of  which  shall  be  deemed  an  original  hereof.

                             EXHIBIT K:  BASE PRICE
(A)     The  base price ("Base Price") for the Leased Property will be an amount
equal  to  the  greater of [i] the Investment Amount; or [ii] the sum of [a] the
Investment  Amount  plus [b] 50% of the difference between the Fair Market Value
at the time of the acquisition and the sum of [I] the Investment Amount and [II]
$1,100,000.00.
(B)     Fair  Market  Value.  The fair market value (the "Fair Market Value") of
        -------------------
the  Leased  Property  shall  be  determined  as  follows:
     The  parties  shall  attempt  to  determine the Fair Market Value by mutual
agreement  within  15 days after giving the Termination Notice (the "Negotiation
Period").  However,  if the parties do not agree on the Fair Market Value during
the  Negotiation  Period,  the  following  provisions  shall  apply:
     Landlord  and  Tenant shall each give the other party notice of the name of
an  acceptable  appraiser  five  Business  Days after the end of the Negotiation
Period.  The  two  appraisers  will  then  select  a  third  appraiser within an
additional  five  days.  Each  appraiser  must  demonstrate  to  the  reasonable
satisfaction  of  both Landlord and Tenant that it has significant experience in
appraising  properties  similar  to the Leased Property.  Within five days after
designation, each appraiser shall submit a resume to Landlord and Tenant setting
forth  such  appraiser's qualifications, including education and experience with
similar  properties.  A  notice  of  objections  to  the  qualifications  of any
appraiser  shall  be  given  within  10 days after receipt of such resume.  If a
party  fails  to  timely  object to the qualifications of an appraiser, then the
appraiser  shall be conclusively deemed satisfactory.  If a party gives a timely
notice of objection to the qualifications of an appraiser, then the disqualified
appraiser shall be replaced by an appraiser selected by the qualified appraisers
or,  if  all  appraisers  are  disqualified,  then by an appraiser selected by a
commercial  arbitrator  acceptable  to  Landlord  and  Tenant.
     The  Fair Market Value shall be determined by the appraisers within 60 days
thereafter as follows.  Each of the appraisers shall be instructed to prepare an
appraisal  of the Leased Property in accordance with the following instructions:
     The  Leased Property is to be valued upon the three conventional approaches
to  estimate  value  known  as the Income, Sales Comparison and Cost Approaches.
Once  the  approaches  are  completed,  the  appraiser correlates the individual
approaches  into  a  final  value  conclusion.
     The  three  approaches  to  estimate  value  are  summarized  as  follows:
INCOME  APPROACH:  This  valuation  approach  recognizes  that  the value of the
operating  tangible  and  intangible  assets  can be represented by the expected
economic  viability  of  the  business  giving  returns  on  and  of the assets.
SALES  COMPARISON APPROACH:  This valuation approach is based upon the principle
of  substitution.  When  a  facility  is  replaceable  in the market, the market
approach assumes that value tends to be set at the price of acquiring an equally
desirable  substitute  facility.  Since  healthcare market conditions change and
frequently  are  subject  to  regulatory and financing environments, adjustments
need  to  be  considered.  These  adjustments  also  consider  the  operating
differences  such  as  services  and  demographics.
COST  APPROACH:  This  valuation  approach  estimates  the value of the tangible
assets  only.  Value  is  represented  by  the market value of the land plus the
depreciated  reproduction  cost  of  all  improvements  and  equipment.
In  general,  the Income and Sales Comparison Approaches are considered the best
representation  of value because they cover both tangible and intangible assets,
consider  the  operating  characteristics  of  the  business  and  have the most
significant  influence  on  attracting  potential  investors.

lowest)  which  is  furthest from the middle appraised value shall be discarded,
and  the  remaining two appraised values shall be averaged to arrive at the Fair
Market  Value.
