4.6     Blanket  PolicyBlanket 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

that  which  would exist under a separate policy meeting all of the requirements
of  this  Lease.
4.7     No  Separate  InsuranceNo 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

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.

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

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.

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.

8.2     RemediesRemedies  .  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 SetoffRight 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  CovenantsPerformance  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  ChargeLate 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  RentDefault  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'  FeesAttorneys' Fees .  Tenant shall pay all reasonable costs
        ----------------
and  expenses  incurred by Landlord in enforcing or preserving Landlord's rights

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.

companies,  taxing  authorities and insurance companies; provided, however, that

the  Obligor  Group  Obligations  in  the  order  which  Landlord may determine.

exclude  or  waive  the  right  to  use  any  other  remedy.

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  DestructionPartial  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     RestorationRestoration .  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  ProceedsInsufficient  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 FundsNot 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  InspectionLandlord's  Inspection  .  During  the progress of

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  CostsLandlord's  Costs .  Tenant shall, within 30 days after
        -----------------
receipt  of  an  invoice from Landlord, pay the costs, expenses, and fees of any

specifications  and  to  supervise  and  approve  any  construction,  or for any

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  TakingPartial  Taking  .  If,  after  a Taking, so much of the
         ---------------

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.

         --------------------------
     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.

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,

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.

18.1     Prohibition  on  Assignment and SublettingProhibition 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.

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

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).

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

19.3  shall  not  apply  in  the event of the termination of this Lease upon the

                             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.
The  appraised  values  submitted  by  the three appraisers shall be ranked from
highest  value  to middle value to lowest value, the appraised value (highest or
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.
