                                   WITNESSETH:

         WHEREAS, Ocwen is willing to make the Loan (defined hereinafter) to

         NOW, THEREFORE, for the consideration stated above, and in exchange for
the mutual promises, covenants and agreements set forth herein, which all
parties hereby agree is sufficient consideration, each of the parties, intending
to be legally bound, hereby agrees that the foregoing recitals are incorporated
herein by reference and as follows:


                           ARTICLE I. LOAN COMMITMENT

Section 1.1 Loan Commitment. Ocwen hereby agrees, pursuant to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, to lend to the Borrower effective March 31, 2002
(as used hereinafter "Effective Date") the sum of $9,153,356.00 (the "Loan").

Section 1.2 Interest. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the outstanding
principal balance of the Loan shall bear interest at the rate of eight percent
(8%) per annum (the "Interest Rate"). Interest will be calculated on a 360-day
year consisting of twelve consecutive thirty (30) day months.

Section 1.3 Term Note. The obligation of the Borrower to repay the unpaid
principal amount of the Loan and the interest thereon shall be evidenced by a
Term Note (the "Term Note") of the Borrower executed by a duly authorized
officer thereof and shall be in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto. The Term
Note shall include the following terms:

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
                  (a) Term. The Term Note shall be dated as of the date of the
         Effective Date and shall be due and payable in full on or before
         September 30, 2003 ("Initial Due Date") unless this Agreement is sooner
         terminated in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
         Agreement. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred (other than a
         Default that has been cured during any applicable cure period) or is
         continuing, Ocwen shall allow one extension of eighteen (18) months
         from the Initial Due Date ("Extension"), in which case the Term Note
         shall be due and payable in full on or before March 31, 2005 ("Extended
         Due Date"); provided, however, that the following conditions are met by
         Borrower: (i) Borrower must request such Extension by providing written
         notice of same to Ocwen no later than sixty (60) days prior to the
         Initial Due Date; (ii) Borrower makes a principal payment under the
         Loan and Term Note of at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00)
         prior to the Initial Due Date; and (iii) Borrower pays to Ocwen a
         nonrefundable fee for the Extension of Ninety Thousand One Hundred
         Sixty Dollars ($90,160.00) prior to the Initial Due Date. Except for
         the Extension, Ocwen shall not be required to extend the term of the
         Loan or otherwise amend, modify, or supplement this Agreement;
         provided, however, that Ocwen may, in its sole and absolute discretion,
         upon such preconditions as Ocwen may establish, in its sole and
         absolute discretion, extend the term of the Loan or otherwise agree
         with Borrower to an amendment, modification, or supplement to this
         Agreement. Except for the Extension, Ocwen's agreement, if any, to take
         any of the foregoing actions must be in writing to be enforceable
         against Ocwen. In the event Ocwen allows any extension of the Loan
         beyond the initial Extension contemplated above, the term "Extension"
         used hereinafter shall also include the extended term permitted by
         Ocwen not originally contemplated by this Agreement.

                  (b) Interest on Term Note. From the Effective Date, the
         outstanding principal balance under the Term Note shall bear interest
         on the unpaid principal balance at a rate per annum equal to the
         Interest Rate.

                  (c) Interest Payment Dates. Interest on the outstanding
         principal balance under the Term Note shall be calculated on the basis
         of a 360-day year consisting of twelve consecutive thirty (30) day
         months. Interest for the prior month shall be payable on the eleventh
         (11th) day of each month (the "Interest Payment Date") commencing May
         11, 2002 and thereafter, payable on the eleventh (11th) day of each
         month during the term of this Agreement. If a monthly interest payment
         is not made by Borrower and received by Ocwen by the sixteenth (16th)
         day of any month during the term of this Loan, including during any
         Extension, Borrower shall pay

                                      -3-
<PAGE>
         to Ocwen a late fee equal to five percent (5%) of the monthly interest
         payment that was due on the 11th day of the month.

                  (d) Principal Payments. Unless Borrower desires an Extension,
         and makes the principal payment required in connection therewith, as
         described in Section 1.3(a) hereof, Borrower shall not be required to
         make principal payments during the term of the Loan. That is, interest
         only is payable on the Loan during the term of the Loan until the
         Initial Due Date, when the entire principal balance and any accrued
         interest thereon is due and payable in full, unless Borrower elects an
         Extension, in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.3(a) above,
         in which case Borrower shall continue to pay Ocwen monthly interest
         payments as described in Section 1.2 hereof until the Extended Due
         Date, when the entire principal balance and any accrued interest
         thereon is due and payable in full.

Section 1.4 Loan Account. Ocwen shall open and maintain on its books a loan
account in the Borrower's name with respect to the Loan, repayments,
prepayments, the computation and payment of interest, fees, and other amounts
due and sums paid to Ocwen hereunder. Such loan account shall be conclusive and
binding on the Borrower, Balanced Care and LMR as to the amount at any time due
to Ocwen from the Borrower, except in the case of manifest error. Ocwen shall
make available at the request of the Borrower, no more frequently than a
calendar monthly basis, a copy of such loan account.

Section 1.5 Prepayment of Term Note. The Borrower may at any time prepay the
Loan in part or in full, subject to the terms of Section 1.6 of this Agreement.
All payments received under the Term Note, whether of interest or principal,
shall be credited to Borrower in inverse order of their maturities. That is, the
most recent payment received shall be credited to the first of the payments due
and owing by Borrower to Ocwen.

Section 1.6 Additional Payments. The Borrower shall make the additional payments
described below ("Additional Payments") to Ocwen, in addition to repaying the
Loan at the Interest Rate, which Additional Payments shall be due and payable as
follows:

         (a) If, on or prior to the (i) Initial Due Date; or (ii) the date that
the Loan is paid in full, in the event that the Loan is not paid in full on the
Initial Due Date and an Extension has not been granted, there occurs:


                                      -4-
<PAGE>
            (A) a sale of a Project by Borrower to any Person other than an
Affiliate of Borrower, after the requirements of Section 8 of the Negative

thereof ("Sale"); or,

            (B) a repayment in full of the Loan by Borrower, Balanced Care, LMR
or any other party, as a result of a refinancing, payment at maturity, or for
any reason whatsoever ("Payoff"), and within six (6) months thereafter, there is
a Sale of a Project; or, a Project is completely condemned or is conveyed by
Borrower in lieu of condemnation proceedings (as used hereinafter
"Condemnation"),

            then, the Borrower shall pay Ocwen, as additional consideration for
the funds advanced pursuant to the Loan, and as a prepayment or default penalty,
as applicable, a sum equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Net Proceeds ("Proceeds
Payment").

         (b) After an Extension, if, on or prior to an (i) Extended Due Date
(hereinafter defined); or (ii) the date that the Loan is paid in full, in the
event that the Loan is not paid in full on the Extended Due Date and another
Extension has not been granted, there occurs:

            (A) a Sale; or,

            (B) a Payoff, and within six (6) months thereafter, there is a Sale
of a Project, or a Condemnation,

            then, the Borrower shall pay Ocwen, as additional consideration for
the funds advanced pursuant to the Loan, and as a prepayment or default penalty,
as applicable, a sum equal to thirty-five percent (35%) of the Net Proceeds
("Extended Proceeds Payment").

         (c) If, within the six (6) month period following the payment in full
of the Loan by Borrower, there is not a Sale of any Project, or a Condemnation,
then the Borrower shall have no obligation to make either a Proceeds Payment or
an Extended Proceeds Payment to Ocwen.

         (d) Any Proceeds Payment or Extended Proceeds Payment due Ocwen
pursuant to this Section 1.6 shall be paid by Borrower to Ocwen in immediately
available funds of U.S. currency on one of the following, as applicable: (i) the

are received by Borrower, including proceeds from a conveyance in lieu of a
condemnation proceeding, in the event of a Condemnation.

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
         (e) As used herein, "Net Proceeds" shall mean the following:

             (i) With respect to a Sale, the amount, if any, by which the gross
proceeds of any Sale plus (1) the amount of any casualty insurance proceeds
previously received by Borrower or due Borrower but not yet paid at the time of
the Sale relating to a particular Project, and (2) the amount of any
previously-received condemnation proceeds, or such proceeds that are due
Borrower but not yet paid at the time of the Sale, including proceeds received
as a result of a partial conveyance of a Project (or real property constituting
a Project) in lieu of condemnation thereof, both of which have not been applied
or used by Borrower to repair or restore the Projects as a result of the
casualty or condemnation, or which have not otherwise been used to pay down the
outstanding balance of the Loan, less (3) actual, and to the extent reasonable,
third-party sales costs, including without limitation, broker commissions,
standard pro-rations, transfer tax, title premiums, and other similar actual and
reasonable third - party costs and expenses required in order to consummate the
Sale, exceed $14,183,812.45.

             (ii)With respect to a Condemnation, the amount, if any, by which
the gross proceeds of any Condemnation plus (1) the amount of any casualty
insurance proceeds previously received by Borrower or due Borrower but not yet
paid at the time of the Condemnation relating to a particular Project, and (2)
the amount of any previously-received condemnation proceeds, or such proceeds
that are due Borrower but not yet paid to Borrower at the time of the
Condemnation, including proceeds received as a result of a partial conveyance of
a Project (or real property constituting a Project) in lieu of condemnation
thereof, both of which have not been applied or used by Borrower to repair or
restore the Projects as a result of the casualty or condemnation, or which have
not otherwise been used to pay down the outstanding balance of the Loan, less
(3) actual, to the extent reasonable, third-party costs, including legal fees,
incurred by Borrower in connection with the Condemnation, exceed $14,183,812.45.

         (f) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this
Agreement or in any other Loan Document, at the time of the closing of a Sale or
Payoff, provided that the Term Note (without regard to payments that may be due
as a result of this Section 1.6), and if required pursuant to the terms hereof
and thereof, the BCC Note and the Deferred Purchase Price Note, are paid in full
on or prior to the closing of such Sale or Payoff, Ocwen shall file appropriate
documentation to release the Mortgages, security interests granted pursuant to
the Security Agreement, and the Subordinate Mortgages, all of the foregoing at
Borrower's expense. The Proceeds Payment and

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
the Extended Proceeds Payment shall be secured thereafter only by the Guarantee
provided by Balanced Care.


          ARTICLE II. DEFAULT RATE FEES; PAYMENTS; SETOFFS AND SECURITY

Section 2.1 Default Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein or in the Term Note, on and/or after (a) an Event of Default resulting

balance on the Initial Due Date or the Extended Due Date, as applicable, or (c)
any other Event of Default in which Ocwen has exercised its rights under Article
VI of this Agreement (subject to notice and cure provisions provided herein),
the Term Note shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to sixteen percent
(16%) ("Default Rate") from the date of such Event of Default until paid in
full. Payments due after the application of the Default Rate shall be calculated
in the same manner in which the Interest Rate is calculated and shall be due and
payable by Borrower at the time and in the same manner as the payments due when
the Interest Rate is in effect.

Section 2.2 Payments.

         (a) All payments by the Borrowers to be made in respect of the interest
or principal (on the Initial Due Date or Extended Due Date, as applicable, or as
required in order to obtain an Extension) on the Term Note shall become due at
1:30 p.m., Columbus, Ohio time on the day when due, and shall be made to Ocwen
in federal funds or other immediately available lawful money of the United
States of America. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be due other
than on a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding
Business Day and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the
computation of interest or fees hereunder.

         (b) The obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement shall be
absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable, and all amounts payable by the
Borrower hereunder shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement under all circumstances, including without limitation, the following

all jurisdictions where such qualification is necessary or advisable. Each

agreement to which such member of the Obligated Group is a party or any order,
writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality; and
will not result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance

accordance with Section 4.9, no registration with, notice to, consent or

required for the due execution and delivery of, or for the enforceability of,
the Transaction Documents. The Person or Persons executing and delivering the

Obligated Group's obligations under the Loan Documents are subordinate in any
manner to any other obligation of the Obligated Group, except obligations
relating to Ocwen.

Section 3.4 Litigation and Claims. Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.4, no
litigation or proceeding involving any member of the Obligated Group material to
the business operations or financial condition of such member, is pending or
threatened in any court or before any administrative agency, whether federal,
state or local. There is no claim, action, temporary restraining order,
injunction, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation, at law or in equity,

board or body, pending or, to the Obligated Group's actual knowledge, threatened

powers of any member of the Obligated Group or the authority of any member of

case may be, or (ii) wherein an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would in
any way have a material adverse effect on any member of the Obligated Group's
ability to carry out its obligations under the Transaction Documents. As used
herein, "actual knowledge" shall mean the actual knowledge of such employees,
agents, consultants or representatives of any member of the Obligated Group who,
as a result of their positions, duties, and or responsibilities for such member
of the Obligated Group, would be reasonably expected to have knowledge of the

writing, and except for taxes being contested by any member of the Obligated
Group in good faith, for which such member has made appropriate reserves for
such contested tax amounts, if required under GAAP, each member of the Obligated
Group has filed all federal, state and local tax returns required to be filed
and has paid all taxes shown to be due on such returns, and has made provision
for all liabilities not so paid or accrued under returns not yet due. The

that any member of the Obligated Group has incurred any material liability in
connection with any such Plans nor has any lien attached nor any Person
threatened to attach a lien on any property of it as a result of its failure to
comply with ERISA or regulations promulgated thereunder.

Section 3.7 Insolvency. The transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents have not been entered into by any member of the Obligated Group in
contemplation of its insolvency or bankruptcy nor have such transactions been
entered into with the intent to hinder, delay, or defraud the equityholders or
the creditors of any member of the Obligated Group.

Section 3.8 No Margin Activity and Ineligible Securities. Borrower is not
regularly engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of
purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U of the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System). No portion of any advance or
loan made hereunder shall be used directly or indirectly to purchase ineligible
securities, as defined by applicable regulations of the Federal Reserve Board,
underwritten by any affiliate of Ocwen during the underwriting period for 30
days thereafter.

Section 3.9 Disclosure. None of the Transaction Documents, or any certificate or
other document furnished to Ocwen by or on behalf of a member of the Obligated
Group contains, or will contain, as of its date, any untrue statement of a
material fact or omits to state or will omit to state, as of its date, a
material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein and
therein not misleading. There are no facts known to any member of the Obligated
Group which, individually or in the aggregate, materially adversely affect or
involve any substantial possibility of materially adversely affecting the
condition, business or affairs of Borrower or any other member of the Obligated
Group, or Borrower's or any other member of the Obligated Group's respective
properties and assets considered as an entirety, which have not been disclosed
herein, in public filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or
in written materials delivered to Ocwen in connection with the negotiation of
the Transaction Documents.

Section 3.10 Financial Statements. The financial statements heretofore furnished
to Ocwen, and those financial statements provided to Ocwen in the future in

contingent liabilities of any kind that are not disclosed or otherwise reflected
therein, and fairly present the member of the Obligated Group's financial

period then ended.

Section 3.11 Compliance with Law; Environmental Law.

         (a) The Obligated Group has obtained all governmental, administrative
and other licenses, permits and other authorizations required by law to be
obtained or made in order to permit the conduct of the business of such
Obligated Group member as it is being conducted on the Effective Date or as is
contemplated by this Agreement within a short time following the Closing Date,
including but not limited to the ownership and operation of the Project
Properties, and as are necessary to the carrying on of the Obligated Group's
businesses, except for any such authorizations or filings which are not
currently so required and which, in the reasonable judgment of a member of the
Obligated Group, can be obtained or made without difficulty prior to the time so
required. In addition to and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Management
Companies shall obtain, with an effective date of March 31, 2002, all required
governmental, administrative and other licenses, permits and other
authorizations that are required for the conduct and operation of the business
of the Project Properties as assisted living or licensed residential care
facilities. Provided,

                                      -12-
<PAGE>
however, that with respect to the license listed on Schedule 3.11(a)(i), Ocwen
agrees that such license may remain in the name of the Licensee for a period of
no more than sixty (60) days following the Closing Date. On or before the
sixtieth (60th) day following the Closing Date, the Licensee must be merged into
BCS, and BCS must have obtained, issued in its name, the license set forth on
Schedule 3.11(a)(i). Ocwen agrees to grant this additional 60 days to BCS to
obtain the license listed on Schedule 3.11(a)(i) upon the condition that on or
prior to the Closing Date, BCS purchases all of the issued and outstanding stock
of the Licensee, thereby obtaining complete control over the Licensee. Balanced
Care agrees to provide Ocwen with copies of all residential care facility
licenses for the three (3) Project Properties, naming the Management Companies
as the licensees thereof, within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date.

         Attached to this Agreement, as Schedule 3.11(a)(ii), is a listing, by
facility, of the number of licensed beds for which each Project Property is
licensed under the law of the state in which the Project Property is located and
the number of beds certified for Medicaid and Medicare participation by Project
Property and category, if applicable. To the actual knowledge of the members of
the Obligated Group, the Borrower, each Management Company, Licensee, and the
Project Property is in material compliance with all laws and regulations,
including without limitation all environmental, occupational safety and health,
and workers' compensation laws and regulations, applicable to the Project
Property, where failure to comply would have a material adverse effect on the
business or financial condition of Borrower, Licensee, a Management Company, or
a Project Property. No member of the Obligated Group has received any notice
from, or has any actual knowledge of any notice received by any other Person
from, any governmental or public body, agency or instrumentality alleging that
either (i) the Project Property is operating under any deficiencies except such
as customarily are likely to be cited from time to time by agencies regulating
licensed residential care facilities, and/or other long-term care facilities
similar to the Project Properties operated by prudent management in accordance
with sound management practices (none of which are believed by Borrower, any
Management Company, or Licensee to be material or not susceptible to cure prior
to the date when penalties would attach), or (ii) the operation of any of the
same otherwise is not in compliance with regulations affecting their respective
operations and licenses. To the extent applicable, Borrower, each Management
Company, or Licensee participates in the Medicare and Medicaid programs for each
of the Project Properties that is eligible for participation in the Medicare and
Medicaid programs and is presently in compliance in all material respects with
the terms of the provider agreements with such programs. Provided, however, that
in the event such provider agreements are between Licensee and the

                                      -13-
<PAGE>
respective governmental agency, such provider agreements shall be assigned or
otherwise transferred to BCS on or before the thirtieth (30th) day following the
Closing Date, unless BCS shall assume same pursuant to the contemplated merger
with the Licensee.

         (b) Seller, Ocwen, Borrower, Balanced Care, the Management Companies
and Licensee have entered into the Environmental Condition and Indemnity
Agreement, dated of even date herewith ("Environmental Indemnity Agreement").
The terms of such Environmental Indemnity Agreement are incorporated herein by
reference and shall inure to the benefit of, be binding upon and enforceable
against the parties hereto to the same extent if the provisions of the
Environmental Indemnity Agreement were reproduced in full in this Agreement.

Section 3.12 Intellectual Property. Balanced Care, Borrower, Licensees, and/or
the Management Companies possess all trademarks, trademark rights, patents,
patent rights, licenses, permits, copyrights and approvals which are required to
conduct the Borrower's, the Licensee's, the Management Companies' business, and
the business conducted at each of the Project Properties as now conducted
without conflicting with the rights of others. Either Balanced Care, Borrower,
Licensee, or the respective Management Company rendering services to a
particular Project Property possesses or has actively applied for all trade
names and trade name rights which are used to conduct their business, and the
business conducted at each of the Project Properties, as now conducted without
conflicting with the rights of others.

Section 3.13 Defaults. Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.4, no member of the
Obligated Group, nor any other Person or party to a contract or agreement
material to the financial condition or operations of any member of the Obligated
Group or a Project Property taken as a whole, is in default under any such
material contract or agreement, and to the knowledge of the members of the
Obligated Group, no event has occurred which, but for the giving of notice or
the passage of time, or both, would constitute a default thereunder.

Section 3.14 Insurance. All of the properties and operations of the members of
the Obligated Group of a character usually insured by Persons of established
reputation engaged in the same or similar businesses similarly situated are
adequately self-insured by the members of the Obligated Group or insured by
financially sound and reputable insurance companies against loss or damage of
the kinds and in amounts customarily insured against by such Persons. The
members of the Obligated Group also carry, with insurers in customary amounts,
such other insurance, including public liability, as is usually carried by
Persons of established reputation engaged in the same or similar businesses
similarly situated. In the event any of the terms

                                      -14-
<PAGE>
of this Section 3.14 conflict with the express terms set forth in the Mortgages,
the terms of the Mortgages shall control.

Section 3.15 No Defaults. No event has occurred and no condition exists (but for
the passage of time or the giving of notice) which would constitute an Event of
Default.

         In the event that the Borrower fails to pay any insurance premium for
insurance required to be carried by Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof on or
before the due date thereof, Ocwen may elect, by providing written notice of
same to Borrower, to require Borrower and/or the Management Companies to make
monthly escrow payments (in addition to those provided above for taxes and
assessments) in an amount equal to one-twelfth of the annual insurance premiums
required to maintain the insurance that must be maintained by Borrower and/or
the Management Companies pursuant to the terms hereof and the Mortgage for each
Project. Upon receipt of such notice from Ocwen, Borrower and/or the Management
Companies shall begin making such escrow payments. The first of such payments
shall include the amount sufficient to pay any and all outstanding premiums due
and payable at the time of Ocwen's notice to Borrower requiring the escrow, plus
monthly payments owing for months extending after such due date and prior to the
first monthly escrow payment made hereunder.

taxes and assessments and/or insurance premiums, as applicable, so long as
Borrower is not in breach of any covenant or agreement of Borrower in this
Agreement or any other Loan Document. Ocwen shall make no charge for so holding
and applying the funds, analyzing said account or for verifying and compiling
said assessments and bills. Ocwen shall not be required to pay Borrower any
interest, earnings or profits on the funds and shall have the right to commingle
the funds with the general funds of Ocwen.

         If the amount of the funds held by Ocwen shall exceed the amount deemed
necessary by Ocwen to provide for the payment of such real property taxes and
assessments and/or insurance, as applicable, as they fall due, such excess shall
be credited to Borrower on the next monthly installment or installments of funds
due. If at any time the amount of the funds held by Ocwen in escrow shall be
less than the amount deemed reasonably necessary by Ocwen to pay real property
taxes and assessments and/or insurance, as applicable, as they fall due,
Borrower shall pay to Ocwen an amount necessary to make up the deficiency within
thirty (30) days after notice from Ocwen to Borrower requesting payment thereof.
Upon Borrower's breach of any covenant or agreement of Borrower in this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, Ocwen may, at its option, apply any funds
held by Ocwen in escrow at the time of such breach (i) to pay real property
taxes and assessments and/or insurance premiums, as applicable, or if such real
property taxes and assessments and/or insurance premiums, if applicable, are
paid in full, (ii) as a credit against sums due Ocwen from Borrower pursuant to
this Agreement.

                           ARTICLE VIII. MISCELLANEOUS

Section 8.1 Term of Agreement; Termination; Successors and Assigns. This
Agreement and all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made
herein, in the other Loan Documents, in the Purchase Agreement, in the Purchase
Documents, in the Management Agreements, in the other Transaction Documents, and
in the reports, certificates and other writings delivered pursuant hereto and
thereto, shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the other
Loan Documents, the Purchase Agreement, the Purchase Documents, the Management
Agreements, the other Transaction Documents, the making by Ocwen of the Loan,
the conveyance of the Project Properties to Borrower, and the execution and
delivery to Ocwen of the Term Note, the Deferred Purchase Price Note and the BCC
Note, and shall continue in full force and effect and shall in no event merge
with the Deeds (defined in the Purchase Agreement). Such covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties shall survive until all principal, interest, and
other sums evidenced or secured by the Loan Documents, the BCC Note, the
Deferred Purchase Price Note, and any other costs and expenses incurred by any
member of the Obligated Group to Ocwen or Seller are paid in full (including but
not limited to the payment of any Additional Payments contemplated hereunder and
under the Term Note). Provided, however, that notwithstanding anything set forth
above to the contrary, the indemnification obligations of the Obligated Group
shall survive for the period of time specified in Section 8.8 hereof.

         This Agreement shall terminate at such time as Ocwen has received
payment in full of all amounts owing to Ocwen hereunder, and under the

                                      -36-

contemplated hereunder and under the Term Note), under the Deferred Purchase
Price Note, and under the BCC Note. Whenever in this Agreement any of the
parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the
successors and permitted assigns of such parties; and all terms and provisions
of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, whether so
expressed or not. As described in Section 8.16 hereof, neither Borrower nor any
other member of the Obligated Group may assign or transfer their rights or
duties under this Agreement to any Person, except for Balanced Care by operation
of law as a result of a merger, as permitted and described in Section 8 of the

or any other member of the Obligated Group in any case shall entitle the
Borrower or any other member of the Obligated Group to any other or further
notice or demand in the same, similar and other circumstances. Neither any
failure nor any delay on the part of Ocwen in exercising any right, power or
privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or
further exercise of the same or the exercise of any other rights, power or
privilege.

Section 8.3 Applicable Law; Forum Selection. This Agreement, the other Loan
Documents, the Management Agreements, the Purchase Agreement, and the other

member of the Obligated Group or its employees, agents, suppliers or contracts.
Provided, however, that the members of the Obligated Group shall not be required
to indemnify an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 8.8 to the extent any
Claims are caused by such Indemnified Party's willful misconduct or gross
negligence. If any action, suit or proceeding arising from any of the foregoing
is brought against an Indemnified Party, then the members of the Obligated
Group, to the extent and in the manner directed by such Indemnified Party, will

indemnified or intended to be indemnified (which counsel shall be reasonably
satisfactory to Balanced Care). The indemnification provided by this Section 8.8
shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any other indemnification provided to
any Indemnified Party by any member of the Obligated Group hereunder and shall
be in addition to and not in lieu of the indemnification provided to Seller and
Ocwen under and pursuant to the Environmental Indemnity Agreement.

remedies hereunder and thereunder.

Section 8.10 Severability. The parties hereto intend and believe that each
provision in this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and the Management Agreements
comport with all applicable local, state and

                                      -40-



<PAGE>



federal laws and judicial decisions. However, if any provision or provisions, or
if any portion of any provision or provisions, in this Agreement, any of the
Loan Documents, or the Management Agreements are found by a court of law to be
in violation of any applicable local, state or federal ordinance, statute, law,
administrative or judicial decision, or public policy, and if such court should
declare such portion, provision or provisions of this Agreement, of any Loan
Document, or the Management Agreements to be illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or
unenforceable as written, then it is the intent of the parties hereto that such
portion, provision or provisions shall be given force and effect to the fullest
possible extent, that the remainder of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents,
or Management Agreements shall be construed as if such provision or provisions
were not contained herein and therein and that the rights, obligations and
interests of the parties under the remainder of this Agreement, the Loan
Documents, and the Management Agreements shall continue in full force and
effect.

Management Agreements, the BCC Note, the Deferred Purchase Price Note, the

other Transaction Documents, reflect the entire understanding of the parties
with respect to the subject matter thereof and supersede all prior and/or
contemporaneous agreements or understandings with respect thereto in their
entirety, including but not limited to the Letter of Intent; provided, however,
that the provisions of the Letter of Intent that indicate specifically that they
shall survive the Closing of the Loan transaction shall continue in full force
and effect and shall be incorporated into this Agreement by reference.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that there is a conflict between any
such terms in the Letter of Intent that survive, and the terms of this
Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

acknowledges that: (i) they have been represented by independent counsel in
connection with this Agreement, the Loan Documents, the Purchase Documents, and

the advice of such counsel; and (iii) this Agreement, the Loan Document, the
Purchase Documents, and the Transaction Documents are the result of negotiations
between the parties hereto and the advice and assistance of their respective
counsel. The fact that this Agreement, the Loan Documents, the Purchase
Documents, and the other Transaction Documents were prepared by Seller's and
Ocwen's counsel as a matter of convenience shall have no import or

                                      -41-
<PAGE>
significance. Any uncertainty or ambiguity in this Agreement, the Loan Document,
the Purchase Documents, and the other Transaction Documents shall not be
construed against Seller or Ocwen because Seller's and Ocwen's counsel prepared

Section 8.16 Confidentiality; Information Sharing, Assignment; Sale of Loan.
Each party hereto agrees that the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, are confidential and shall not be disclosed to any other person or
entity without the written consent of all of the parties hereto (unless ordered
to do so by a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise required by
applicable law, including without limitation the Securities Act of 1933 and the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder). Provided, however, that a party may disclose the terms
of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to members of its and its
affiliates' board of directors, management, employees, shareholders, officers,
advisors, and others within their

                                      -43-
<PAGE>
organizations with a need to know, subject to the conditions that the receiving
party (a) notify such board members, management employees, shareholder,
advisors, officers, and others within their organization with a need to know
that the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are subject to a
confidentiality agreement, and (b) obtain such person's agreement to maintain
the confidentiality of the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
And, provided, further, that Ocwen may disclose the terms of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents to any party interested in buying or participating in
the Loan and taking assignment of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
but Ocwen shall first obtain confidentiality agreements substantially in the
form of the agreement attached hereto as Exhibit D or in another form reasonably
acceptable to Balanced Care and LMR from such interested third parties.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower, and all other members of
the Obligated Group, on their own behalf and on behalf of their partners,
principals, shareholders, and all other Persons claiming by, through, or under
any of them, and their respective successors and assigns (as used hereinafter
"Borrowing Parties"), hereby authorize and consent to Ocwen's disclosure of any
and all documents, reports, studies, materials, financial statements, operating
statements and other information of whatsoever kind or nature relating to or
provided by any of the Borrowing Parties or the Projects (collectively
"Information") for purposes of evaluating the Loan transaction, including but
not limited to reviewing and approving all due diligence in connection with the
Loan transaction. The Borrowing Parties have notified and obtained the consent
of any other persons or entities to whom such Information may relate to the
disclosure of such Information by Ocwen, and none of the Borrowing Parties, or
other such Persons shall assert any claims or liabilities against Ocwen or any
of its agents, successors, or assigns as a result of Ocwen's disclosure of
Information in accordance with the terms hereof. This Agreement does not and is
not intended to create any right or interest in other parties or any third party
beneficiaries or otherwise.

         Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Ocwen agrees
that it shall not disclose the financial statements of LMR to any Person without
first obtaining the written consent of LMR, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld and which consent shall be deed to have been given by LMR
unless LMR notifies Ocwen in writing of its objection thereto within ten (10)
Business Days from the date on which LMR receives Ocwen's written request for
LMR's consent to disclose such information.

         Borrower and each member of the Obligated Group hereby acknowledge,
understand and agree that Ocwen may assign, in whole or in part, its right,
title and interest, and/or obligations or responsibilities in, under and to this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, without the prior consent of Borrower or
any other member of the Obligated Group being required. However, neither
Borrower, nor any member of the Obligated Group (except for Balanced Care
pursuant to a merger described in Section 8 of the Negative Covenants), may
assign or otherwise transfer, in whole or in part, their right, title or
interest or obligations or responsibilities under and pursuant to this
Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or the Management Agreements without the
prior written consent of Ocwen, which may be withheld for any reason or no
reason. Ocwen agrees to provide Balanced Care only (and not the other members of
the Obligated Group) with notice of any assignment described above within a
reasonable time after such assignment occurs, but Balanced Care and its
Affiliates hereby acknowledge and agree that Ocwen's failure to provide such
notice to Balanced Care shall in no way affect, impair, or limit any right of
Ocwen and/or its Affiliates hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or
create in favor of Balanced Care and/or its Affiliates any right of action
against Ocwen and/or its Affiliates or a defense to any action by Ocwen and/or
its Affiliates against Balanced Care and/or its Affiliates.

         Borrower and each member of the Obligated Group hereby acknowledge,
understand, and agree that Ocwen may, without the prior consent of Borrower or
any member of the Obligated Group being required, sell the Loan or grant or
receive participation interests in the Loan to any third party, whether or not
such third party is related to Ocwen; provided, however, that in connection with
any syndication of the Loan, Ocwen Federal Bank FSB must be the servicer of the
Loan; and, provided, further, that LMR shall have no obligation after such sale
or syndication of the Loan and assignment or transfer of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents to provide any information to any such assignee(s),
transferee(s), or participant(s) that LMR, in the exercise of its reasonable
discretion, refuses to provide.

         Notwithstanding anything set forth above to the contrary, in the event
that Ocwen desires to assign, in whole or in part, its right, title and
interest, and/or obligations or responsibilities in, under and to this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, and the assignee desires to receive information
related to LMR after such assignment, then Ocwen's assignment of this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents shall not be made without LMR's consent, which
consent may be withheld only if LMR or an Affiliate of LMR has had a prior
business dealing with the proposed transferee, assignee,

                                      -45-
<PAGE>
or participant that were not reasonably acceptable to LMR, or the proposed
transferee, assignee, or participant is not reasonably acceptable to LMR or is a
competitor of LMR, any Affiliate of LMR, Balanced Care, or any Affiliate of
Balanced Care, and which consent shall be deemed to have been given by LMR
unless LMR notifies Ocwen in writing of its objection thereto within ten (10)
Business Days from the date on which LMR receives Ocwen's written request for
consent to disclose such information and identifies in such writing the proposed
assignee(s), transferee(s), or participants(s).

         The Borrower shall not be permitted, and Ocwen shall not consent to,
the partial release of an individual Project from the Collateral or the
refinancing of an individual Project.

OBLIGATED GROUP AND OCWEN (BY THEIR ACCEPTANCE HEREOF) HEREBY VOLUNTARILY,
KNOWINGLY, IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY

Section 8.18 Resident Funds. Ocwen understands, acknowledges, and agrees that in
the event any member of the Obligated Group holds or maintains funds of the
residents of any of the Project Properties in trust for such resident (i.e., the
member of the Obligated Group has no legal or beneficial interest in or to the
funds (such funds are not paid to such member pursuant to any obligation of the
resident to make such payment), but holds them as an accommodation to the
resident), Ocwen agrees to comply with applicable law with respect to such
funds, and further agrees that such funds may not be used by Ocwen to satisfy
any indebtedness owed to Ocwen by any member of the Obligated Group whether
evidenced by the Term Note, the Deferred Purchase Price Note or the BCC Note.
Such funds held in trust do not include and shall not include, however, any
payments made by a resident pursuant to a Residency Agreement in exchange for a
resident's right to occupy a particular facility in the ordinary course of
business of the Project Properties.

appeal from the judgments rendered. The foregoing warrants of attorney shall
survive any judgment, and, if any judgment be vacated for any reason, the holder
hereof nevertheless may thereafter use the foregoing warrant of attorney to
obtain an additional judgment or judgments against the respective member of the
Obligated Group. The members of the Obligated Group waive any conflict of
interest in Ocwen's attorney confessing judgment against such member pursuant to

                                    EXHIBIT B

                       AFFIRMATIVE AND NEGATIVE COVENANTS

                              Affirmative Covenants

1.       Insurance. The Borrower shall maintain fire, hazard and other casualty
         insurance reasonably required by Ocwen upon all of its assets and
         business properties, specifically including but not limited to the
         three Project Properties, in an amount equal to or greater than the
         full replacement cost of the three (3) Project Properties. The Borrower
         shall also maintain liability insurance upon its assets and business
         properties, specifically including but not limited to the three Project
         Properties, of such character as is usually maintained by companies
         engaged in like businesses, and in an amount that is acceptable to
         Ocwen, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion. All of the
         foregoing policies of insurance shall be purchased from responsible and
         reputable insurers. The Borrower shall determine if any of the Project
         Properties are located in a federally identified flood hazard zone. If
         flood insurance is required, the Borrower will provide flood insurance
         coverage in a reasonable amount as determined by Ocwen. All insurance
         policies shall be written for the benefit of the Borrower, the
         Management Companies and Ocwen as their interests may appear and shall
         contain a provision requiring the insurance company to provide Ocwen
         not less than thirty days' written notice prior to cancellation of any
         such policy. All insurance policies or certificates evidencing the same
         shall be furnished to Ocwen. The insurance requirements are more
         specifically set forth in the Open-End Mortgages, Security Agreements,
         and Assignments of Lessor's Interest in Leases and Rents, which are
         Security Documents executed in connection herewith ("Mortgages"). In
         the event of any inconsistency between the express terms of the
         Mortgages and the terms of this section, the terms of the respective
         Mortgages shall control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
         forth above, Ocwen will agree to consent, in its reasonable discretion,
         to modifications to insurance requirements to accommodate company-wide
         insurance programs that may in the future be implemented by Balanced
         Care and its Affiliates, which insurance programs may include (without
         limitation) self-insurance elements or blanket policy insurance
         programs with other Affiliates of Balanced Care or LMR.

2.       Payment of Taxes and Claims. The Borrowers and the other members of the
         Obligated Group shall pay all taxes, assessments and other governmental
         charges imposed upon their properties or assets or

                                      B-1
<PAGE>
         in respect of any of their franchises, businesses, income or profits
         before any penalty or interest accrues thereon, but in no event later
         than ten (10) days after the foregoing are due, and all claims
         (including, without limitation, claims for labor, services, materials
         and supplies) for sums which have become due and payable and which by
         law have or might become a lien or charge upon any of their properties
         or assets, but in no event later than ten (10) days after the foregoing
         are due, provided that (unless any material item of property would be
         lost, forfeited or materially damaged as a result thereof) no such
         charge or claim need be paid if the amount, applicability or validity
         thereof is currently being contested in good faith and if such reserve
         or other appropriate provision, if any, as shall be required by GAAP
         shall have been made therefor.

3.       Compliance with Laws. Each of the Projects shall be operated as an
         assisted living or licensed residential care facility with ancillary
         services. In addition, the Borrower, and all other members of the
         Obligated Group, shall each comply with, observe, and perform in all
         material respects (a) as required under and pursuant to all applicable
         statutes, laws, ordinances, orders, judgments, decrees, regulations,
         and governmental rules, regulations, directions, administrative rulings
         or orders, (b) other requirements affecting the Borrower, the
         Management Companies, or the Project Properties, or to which they or it
         are subject or which are applicable to their business(es), operations,
         properties and assets, specifically including the Project Properties,
         and (c) any regulatory requirements relating to the Project Properties
         or otherwise with respect to any member of the Obligated Group's
         business, operations, properties, or assets. Each member of the
         Obligated Group shall obtain and maintain at all times during the term
         of this Loan and any Extension any and all licenses, permits,
         certifications, and/or operating agreements with any federal, state, or
         local governmental agency, or any other any other entity, whether
         public or private, and other governmental approvals (including but not
         limited to Medicare and Medicaid provider numbers and participation
         agreements, if applicable) required or necessary to use, maintain, or
         operate the Project Properties or to receive state or federal subsidies
         such as Medicare or Medicaid, if applicable; provided that (unless such
         contest or noncompliance would materially adversely affect such
         businesses) the Borrower or other applicable member of the Obligated
         Group need not so comply if any such statute, law, ordinance, or
         governmental rule, regulation or order is currently being contested in
         good faith by Borrower or such other member of the Obligated Group.

         replacements, additions, betterments, and improvements thereto which
         are deemed necessary by such member, (b) conduct continuously and
         operate actively its business at the Project Properties, except as
         otherwise permitted with respect to Balanced Care by Section 8 of the

         (i) to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence,
         rights, and franchises, except as otherwise permitted by Section 8 of
         the Negative Covenants with respect to a merger by Balanced Care only,
         and (ii) to maintain its status as a corporation duly organized and
         existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its
         formation and in any state in which it conducts business, except as
         otherwise permitted by Section 8 of the Negative Covenants with respect
         to a merger by Balanced Care only.

         All of the parties hereto hereby covenant and agree that Ocwen shall be
         entitled to conduct regular, annual inspections of each of the Project
         Properties by providing reasonable advance notice of such inspection to
         Borrower, the applicable Management Company, or Balanced Care. All
         reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Ocwen in connection with such
         inspection, whether third-party or incurred by Ocwen's employees,
         officers, or agents, shall be paid by Balanced Care upon Ocwen's
         provision of an invoice therefore to Balanced Care.

         shall perform and comply with in accordance with their terms, all
         material provisions of each and every contract, agreement or instrument
         now or hereafter binding upon such member of the Obligated Group
         relating to the Project Properties, except to the extent that such
         member of the Obligated Group shall contest the provisions thereof in
         good faith and by proper proceedings.

6.       Ocwen-Required Depositary Bank. Ocwen Federal Bank FSB shall be the
         primary bank of account and primary depository for the Borrower with

         Section 6.2(c) hereof.

7.       Changes of Accounting Reporting Methods and/or Financial Statements.
         Each of the Borrower, Licensee, the Management Companies, and Balanced
         Care in the event that it ceases to be a reporting company under the
         Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, shall provide to Ocwen

9.       Other Subordinated Payments. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
         Default, and the continuance thereof past the applicable cure period,
         all Affiliates of Balanced Care rendering services to the Borrower
         and/or the Projects, specifically including but not limited to the
         Management Companies, Licensee, and BCC Development shall subordinate
         payments due under the Management Contracts, any other contract, or any

         unrelated third parties necessary for the operation of the assisted
         living or licensed residential care facilities on the Project
         Properties, such as employee salaries and wages, laundry and food
         service, etc.) to Borrower's payments due pursuant to the Term Loan
         Note, the Loan Documents, the BCC Note, the Deferred Purchase Price
         Note, and the Subordinate Mortgage.

         By way of explanation only of the foregoing, and not limitation, if the

         prior to forwarding the Gross Revenue to Borrower. All of the Gross
         Revenue shall be forwarded by the Management Company to the Borrower,
         and provided that there is sufficient Gross Revenue for Borrower to
         make all payments contemplated pursuant to the Term Loan Note, the Loan
         Documents, the BCC Note, the Deferred Purchase Price Note, and the
         Subordinate Mortgage, then the Borrower shall be permitted to pay the

         pursuant to the Term Loan Note, the Loan Documents, the BCC Note, the
         Deferred Purchase Price Note, and the Subordinate Mortgage until the

         (except as permitted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
         Section 4.5, and the other Loan Documents, specifically including the

<PAGE>
         include a transfer of the Project Properties) and except in connection
         with the replacement of assets sold by like assets (which shall not
         include a transfer of the Project Properties), without the prior
         written consent of Ocwen, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
         This includes, but is not limited to, any sale, transfer or attempted
         assignment of any Medicare/Medicaid certification, and rights under

         may merge or consolidate with another entity such that the other entity
         is the surviving entity, and Balanced Care is dissolved as a result of
         such merger or consolidation, provided that as a result of such merger
         or consolidation, the surviving entity, by operation of law, is bound
         by the obligations of Balanced Care under and pursuant to the
         Transaction Documents, specifically including but not limited to the
         Guaranty given by Balanced Care. As used herein, "wind up" shall not
         include the sale of all or substantially all of Balanced Care's assets,
         which is permissible, although notice to Ocwen is required, as
         described in Section 4 of these Negative Covenants. However, Balanced
         Care may not dissolve itself or suffer a dissolution after such sale of
         assets.

         In the event that Balanced Care engages in any other transaction
         described in this Section 8, which is a prohibited transaction for
         other members of the Obligated Group other than Balanced Care, Balanced
         Care shall provide Ocwen with written notice of such within ten (10)
         Business Days after the occurrence of same.
