Borrower, the Hartford Borrower, the Hillcrest Borrower, the Lampasas Borrower, the Newport

California corporation, formerly known as GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation, having an address
at 200 Witmer Road, Horsham, Pennsylvania 19044-0809, together with its successors and assigns or,
if this Note has then been endorsed “to bearer,” to the bearer of this Note (collectively the
“Lender”), at Lender’s said address or at such other place or to such other person as may be
designated in writing to Borrower by Lender, the principal sum of Eight Million One Hundred
Twenty-Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($8,125,000.00) (the “Loan”), together with interest on the
unpaid balance thereof at the rate hereinafter set forth.



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



     Section 1. Interest Rate.



     1.1 Initial Note Rate. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance of
the Loan from and after the date hereof (“Closing Date”) at the rate of eleven and sixty-six /one
hundredths percent (11.66%) per annum (“Initial Note Rate”). If the Loan is funded on a date other
than the fifteenth (15th) day of a calendar month, Borrowers shall pay to Lender at the
time of funding of the Loan an interest payment calculated by multiplying (i) (x) if the Closing
Date is prior to the fifteenth (15th) day of a calendar month, the number of days from
and including the Closing Date to (but excluding) the fifteenth (15th) day of the
current month or (y) if the Closing Date is after the fifteenth (15th) day of the month,
the number of days from and including the Closing Date



 









 







to (but excluding) the fifteenth (15th) day of the next calendar monthly by (ii)
the Initial Note Rate calculated based on a 360 day year and paid for the actual number of days
elapsed for any whole or partial month in which interest is being calculated.



     1.2 Calculation Basis; Interest Accrual Period. Interest on the outstanding principal
balance of the Loan shall be calculated utilizing a 360 day year and paid for the actual number of
days elapsed for any whole or partial month in which interest is being calculated. Except as
otherwise set forth in the Section 1.1 above, interest shall accrue, with respect to any Payment
Date, from the period beginning on the fifteenth (15th) day of the month prior to such
Payment Date, through and including the fourteenth (14th) day of the month of such
Payment Date (each an “Interest Accrual Period”). By way of example, for a Payment Date of
February 9, the Interest Accrual Period would run from January 15 through and including February
14.



     1.3 Default Interest Rate. If Borrowers fail to make any payment of principal,
interest or fees on the date on which such payment becomes due and payable whether at maturity or
by acceleration, or if an Event of Default exists, the Note Rate then payable on the Loan shall
immediately increase to the lesser of (a) the then applicable Note Rate plus five hundred (500)
basis points or (b) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law (the “Default Rate”) and shall
continue to accrue at the Default Rate until full payment is received or such Event of Default is
waived in writing by Lender. Interest at the Default Rate shall also accrue on any judgment
obtained by Lender in connection with collection of the Loan or enforcement of any obligations due
under the Loan Documents until such judgment is paid in full.



     1.4 Note Rate and Note Rate Adjustment Dates. The “Note Rate” shall mean an interest
rate which is the average of London Interbank Offered Rates (“LIBOR”), in U.S. dollar deposits, for
a term of one month determined solely by Lender on each Note Rate Adjustment Date (defined below)
plus six and one-quarter of one percent (6.25%) (“Margin”). On each Note Rate Adjustment
Date, Lender will obtain the close-of-business LIBOR from “Page 3750” on the Telerate Service (or
such other page as may replace Page 3750 on that service) on the Note Rate Adjustment Date. If
Telerate Service ceases publication or ceases to publish LIBOR, Lender shall select a comparable
publication to determine the LIBOR and provide notice thereof to Borrowers. LIBOR may or may not
be the lowest rate based upon the market for U.S. dollar deposits in the London Interbank
Eurodollar Market at which Lender prices loans on the date on which LIBOR is determined by Lender
as set forth above. Adjustments to the Note Rate in connection with changes in LIBOR shall be made
two (2) Business Days prior to the beginning of any Interest Accrual Period (each “Note Rate
Adjustment Date”) except than the Initial Note Rate shall be determined two (2) Business Days prior
to the Closing Date.



     1.5 Adjustments due to Calculation Errors. This Note shall bear interest at the
Initial Note Rate and Note Rate as determined in accordance with the provisions hereof; provided,
however, that, if Lender at any time determines, in the sole but reasonable exercise of its
discretion that it has miscalculated the amount of the monthly payment of principal and/or interest
(whether because of a miscalculation of the Initial Note Rate, the Note Rate or otherwise), Lender
shall give notice to Borrowers of the corrected amount of such monthly payment (and the corrected
amount of the Note Rate, if applicable) and (a) if the corrected amount of such monthly payment
represents an increase thereof, Borrowers shall, within ten (10) calendar days after the date of
such notice, pay to Lender any sums that Borrowers would have otherwise been obligated under this
Note to pay to



2









 







Lender had the amount of such monthly payment not been miscalculated or (b) if the corrected
amount of such monthly payment represents a decrease thereof, and Borrowers are not otherwise in
breach or default under any of the terms and provisions of the Note, the Loan Agreement of even
date herewith by and between Borrowers and Lender (the “Loan Agreement”) or any of the other Loan
Documents, Borrowers shall, within ten (10) calendar days thereafter be paid the sums that
Borrowers would not have otherwise been obligated to pay to Lender had the amount of such monthly
payment not been miscalculated.



     1.6 LIBOR Unascertainable. Lender’s obligation to maintain interest based on LIBOR
shall be suspended and the Note Rate shall be based on the Interest Rate Index (plus Margin) upon
Lender’s determination, in good faith, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
ascertaining LIBOR or that a contingency has occurred which materially and adversely affects the
London Interbank Eurodollar Market at which Lender prices loans (which determination by Lender
shall be conclusive and binding on Borrowers in the absence of manifest error). Computation of the
Note Rate based on the Interest Rate Index shall continue until Lender determines that the
circumstances giving rise to Lender’s substitution of the Interest Rate Index for LIBOR no longer
exists and Lender shall promptly notify Borrowers of such determination. For purposes hereof
“Interest Rate Index” shall mean the weekly average yield on United States Treasury Securities
adjusted to a constant maturity of one year, as made available by the Federal Reserve Board
forty-five (45) days prior to each Note Rate Adjustment Date.



     1.7 Adjustment for Impositions on Loan Payments. All payments made by Borrowers under
this Note and the other Loan Documents (described in Section 8.1.1 below) shall be made free and
clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income,
stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, and all
liabilities with respect thereto, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed
against Borrowers and/or the Loan by any governmental authority (all such non-excluded taxes,
levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings and liabilities, collectively,
“Applicable Taxes”). If Borrowers shall be required by law to deduct any Applicable Taxes from or
in respect of any sum payable hereunder to Lender, the following shall apply: (i) Borrowers shall
make all such required deductions and shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing
authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (ii) the sum payable to Lender
shall be increased in an amount determined by Lender in its sole discretion, as may be necessary so
that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums
payable under this Section 1.7), Lender receives an amount equal to the sum Lender would have
received had no such deductions been made. Payments made pursuant to this Section 1.7 shall be
made within ten (10) Business Days after Lender makes written demand therefore.



     1.8 Increased Costs of Maintaining Interest. Borrowers shall pay to Lender all
Funding Losses incurred from time to time by Lender upon demand. Lender shall deliver to Borrower
a statement for any such sums to which Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 1.8,
which statement shall be binding and conclusive absent manifest error. Payment of Funding Losses
hereunder shall be in addition to any obligation to pay any other fee in circumstances where such
fee(s) would be due and owing under the Loan Documents. For purposes hereof, “Funding Losses”
shall mean the reduction of any amounts received or receivable from Borrowers, in either case, due
to the introduction of, or any change in, law or applicable regulation or treaty (including the
administration or interpretation thereof), whether or not having the force of law, or due to the



3









 







compliance by Lender with any directive, whether or not having the force of law, or request
from any central bank or domestic or foreign governmental authority.



     1.9 Acceleration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if
Borrowers are prohibited by law from paying any amount due to Lender under Section 1.7 or Section
1.8 hereof, Lender may elect to declare the unpaid principal balance of the Loan, together with all
unpaid interest accrued thereon and any other amounts due hereunder, due and payable within one
hundred twenty (120) days of Lender’s written notice to Borrowers and no Loan Fee (defined in
Section 5 below) shall be due in such event. Lender’s delay or failure in accelerating the Loan
upon the discovery or occurrence of an event under Section 1.7 or Section 1.8 shall not be deemed a
waiver or estoppel against the exercise of such right.



     Section 2. Note Payments and Prepayment Rights.



     2.1 Payment Dates.



          (a) Monthly Payments: Commencing on the ninth (9th) of September, 2006 and
continuing on the ninth (9th) day of each successive month thereafter, provided that, if
the ninth (9th) day of any month is not a Business Day, such payment shall be due and
payable on the immediately preceding Business Day (each being a “Payment Date”), through and
including the Payment Date immediately prior to the Maturity Date, Borrowers shall pay (x)
consecutive monthly payments of (i) principal in an amount necessary to fully amortize the original
Loan principal balance of the Loan over a twenty-five (25) year amortization period where each
month is deemed to consist of thirty (30) days and (ii) interest at the Note Rate (determined as of
the immediately preceding Note Rate Adjustment Date) based on principal outstanding during the
Interest Accrual Period in which the applicable Payment Date occurs and (y) any amounts due under
the Loan Documents.




          (b) Semi-Annual Payments: Twice annually, beginning March 9, 2007 and on each September
9th and March 9th thereafter, the Borrowers shall make payments to Lender in
the amount of $1,015,625 each, which payments shall include the monthly principal payments
described in Section 2.1(a) above (the “Semi-Annual Payment Requirements”) such that the Loan will
amortize in full in four (4) years. Additionally, Borrowers shall make the following payments to
Lender:




               (i) All payments received by Guarantor (hereinafter defined) related to the DCMS Note
Receivable (as defined in the Loan Agreement) and the Workers’ Comp Retro Premiums (as defined in
the Loan Agreement), shall be paid over to Lender and applied to the Loan. Any amounts received by
Lender pursuant to the DCMS Note Receivable or the Workers’ Comp Retro Premiums shall be credited
against future Semi-Annual Payment Requirements; and



               (ii) Net proceeds received by NC I Borrower from the sale of a 61-bed licensed assisted living
facility located in New Hanover County, North Carolina, owned by the NC I Borrower (the “Carolina
Beach Facility”), any equipment related to the Carolina Beach Facility or the sale of the license
for the Carolina Beach Facility shall be paid over to Lender and applied to the Loan. Any amounts
received by Lender pursuant to the sale of the Carolina Beach Facility, any equipment related to
the Carolina Beach Facility or the sale of the license for the Carolina Beach Facility shall be
credited against future Semi-Annual Payment Requirements.



4









 





     2.2 Prepayments. In addition to the Semi-Annual Payment Requirements made pursuant to
Section 2.1(b)(i) and (ii) above, Borrowers have the right to prepay all or any part of the Loan
prior to the Maturity Date, subject to payment of the Loan Fee, more particularly described in
Section 5 below, provided each of the following conditions are satisfied:




	 	(A)	 	Borrowers provide written notice to
Lender of their intent to prepay not more than sixty (60) days and
not less than thirty (30) days prior to the intended prepayment
date.
	 
	 	(B)	 	Borrowers pay with such prepayment all
accrued interest through the end of the current Interest Accrual
Period and all other outstanding amounts then due and unpaid under
the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
	 
	 	(C)	 	Borrowers pay with such prepayment the
Loan Fee.
	 
	 	(D)	 	Borrowers pay with such prepayment all
costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such
prepayment and any other costs and expenses due and payable by
Borrowers under the Loan Documents.
	 
	 	(E)	 	No Event of Default exists as of the date
Borrowers delivers notice of intent to prepay and as of the date
such prepayment is made.





     Section 3. Application of Payments. Payments made by Borrowers on account hereof
shall be applied, first, toward any Late Fees (defined in Section 8.3 below) or other fees and
charges due hereunder, second, toward payment of any interest due at the Default Rate, third,
toward payment of any interest due at the then applicable Note Rate set forth in Section 1.4 above,
and fourth, toward payment of principal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any advances made by
Lender under the terms of any instruments securing this Note have not been repaid, any payments
made may, at the option of Lender, be applied, first, to repay such advances and interest thereon,
with the balance, if any, applied as set forth in the preceding sentence.



     Section 4. Maturity Date. Anything in this Note to the contrary notwithstanding, the
entire unpaid balance of the principal amount hereof and all interest accrued thereon through the
end of the current Interest Accrual Period and including interest accruing at the Default Rate, to
and including the Maturity Date (as defined below) together with all fees, costs and amounts due
and payable under the Loan Documents shall, unless sooner paid, and except to the extent that
payment thereof is sooner accelerated, be and become due and payable on August 9, 2010 (the
“Maturity Date”); provided that if the ninth (9th) day of that month is not a Business
Day, such payment shall be due and payable on the immediately preceding Business Day.



     Section 5. Loan Fee. As consideration of Lender’s making of the Loan to Borrowers,
Borrowers agree to pay a loan fee (“Loan Fee”) to Lender in an amount equal to two percent (2%) of
the original principal amount of the Loan. One-half the Loan Fee is earned in full and due on the
date hereof. The remaining one percent (1%) shall be deferred until the earlier of (a) the date
when full repayment of the Loan occurs, (b) the Maturity Date, or (c) the date on which the Loan
has been



5









 







accelerated following an Event of Default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should the sale of
the Carolina Beach Facility close on or before September 30, 2006, with net proceeds in excess of
$3,500,000.00, the portion of the Loan Fee that would be due upon the earlier of (a) the date when
full repayment of the Loan occurs, (b) the Maturity Date, or (c) the date on which the Loan has
been accelerated following an Event of Default will be reduced by a factor of 100 basis points
applied to the net proceeds of the Carolina Beach Facility sale and corresponding principal
reduction of the Loan. The 100 basis point Loan Fee due at closing will remain fully earned.
Notwithstanding the sale or transfer of the Loan by Capmark Finance Inc., in whole or in part, to a
successor lender, unless Capmark Finance Inc. has transferred its interest in the Loan Fee to its
successors or assigns as Lender, the Loan Fee shall be payable to Capmark Finance Inc.



     Section 6. Delivery of Payments. All payments due to Lender under the Loan Documents
are to be paid in immediately available funds to Lender at Lender’s office located at 200 Witmer
Road, P.O. Box 809, Horsham, Pennsylvania 19044, Attn: Servicing — Accounting Manager, or at such
other place as Lender may designate to Borrowers in writing from time to time. All amounts due
under the Loan Documents shall be paid without setoff, counterclaim or any other deduction
whatsoever. No payment due under this Note or any of the other Loan Documents shall be deemed paid
to Lender until received by Lender at its designated office on a Business Day prior to 2:00 p.m.
Eastern Standard Time. Any payment received after the time established by the preceding sentence
shall be deemed to have been paid on the immediately following Business Day. Each payment that is
paid to Lender within ten (10) days prior to the date on which such payment is due, and prior to
its scheduled Payment Date, shall not be deemed a prepayment. If any payment received by Lender is
deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to be a voidable preference or fraudulent conveyance
under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other debtor relief law, and is required to be returned by
Lender, then the obligation to make such payment shall be reinstated, notwithstanding that the Note
may have been marked satisfied and returned to Borrowers or otherwise canceled, and such payment
shall be immediately due and payable upon demand.

period, if any, provided in any of such Loan Documents.



     8.1.2 Bankruptcy.



               (a) If any Borrower, Guarantor or Manager (i) applies for or consents to the appointment of a

7









 







against Guarantor or Manager, by any court of competent jurisdiction remains unsatisfied or
otherwise in force and effect for a period of thirty (30) days after the date of such award, unless
such judgment is either (i) fully covered by collectible insurance and such insurer has within such
period acknowledged such coverage in writing, or (ii) although not fully covered by insurance,
enforcement of such judgment has been effectively stayed, such judgment is being contested or
appealed by appropriate proceedings and Borrower, Guarantor or Manager, as the case may be, has
established reserves adequate for payment in the event such Person is ultimately unsuccessful in

     8.3 Late Fees. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this
Section, if any payment due on a Payment Date is not received in full on or before the Payment
Date, Borrowers shall pay to Lender, immediately and without demand, a late payment charge, for

(5%) of such amount or (b) the maximum amount permitted by applicable law (“Late Fees”) to defray

Mortgage and/or the Loan Documents, (b) as the result of the occurrence of an Event of Default by

of collecting any amount owed hereunder, and of any and all attorneys’ fees incurred by Lender in
connection with such default, whether suit be brought or not, and (c) in protecting the security
for the Loan and Borrowers’ obligations under the Loan Documents. Such expenses shall be added to
the principal amount hereof, shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall accrue interest at the
Default Rate.



     Section 10. Borrowers’ Waiver of Certain Rights. Borrowers and any endorser,
guarantor or surety hereby waives the exercise of any and all exemption rights which they hold at
law or in equity with respect to the debt evidenced by this Note, and of any and all rights which

a condition to Lender’s exercise of any of its rights under this Note or the Loan Documents.



8









 





     Section 11. Extensions. The Maturity Date and/or any other date by which any payment
is required to be made hereunder may be extended by Lender, in writing, from time to time in the

liability hereunder.



     Section 12. General.



     12.1 Applicable Law. This Note shall be given effect and construed by application of
the laws of the State of Alabama (without regard to the principles thereof governing conflicts of
laws), and any action or proceeding arising hereunder, and each of Lender and Borrowers submit (and
waives all rights to object) to non-exclusive personal jurisdiction in the State of Alabama, for
the enforcement of any and all obligations under the Loan Documents except that if any such action
or proceeding arises under the Constitution, laws or treaties of the United States of America, or
if there is a diversity of citizenship between the parties thereto, so that it is to be brought in
a United States District Court, it shall be brought in the United States District Court for the
Northern District of Alabama or any successor federal court having original jurisdiction.



     12.2 Headings. The headings of the Sections, subsections, paragraphs and
subparagraphs hereof are provided herein for and only for convenience of reference, and shall not
be considered in construing their contents.



     12.3 Construction. As used herein, (a) the term “person” means a natural person, a

entity, and (b) all references made (i) in the neuter, masculine or feminine gender shall be deemed

Lender of all or any portion of any sum payable under, or partial performance of any covenant of,
this Note, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, whether before, on, or after the due

ACTION ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE. BORROWERS AGREE THAT SERVICE UPON SAID NATIONAL REGISTERED AGENTS,

     12.9 Incorporation by Reference. All of the agreements, conditions, covenants and
provisions contained in each of the Loan Documents are hereby made a part of this Note to the same
extent and with the same force and effect as if they were fully set forth herein. Borrowers
covenants and agrees to keep and perform, or cause to be kept and performed, all such agreements,
conditions, covenants and provisions strictly in accordance with their terms.

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

an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of such modification,
amendment, discharge or waiver is sought.



     12.14 Time of the Essence. Time is strictly of the essence of this Note.



     12.15 Negotiable Instrument. Borrowers agree that this Note shall be deemed a
negotiable instrument, even though this Note may not otherwise qualify, under applicable law,
absent this paragraph, as a negotiable instrument.



     12.16 Interest Rate After Judgment. If judgment is entered against Borrowers on this
Note, the amount of the judgment entered (which may include principal, interest, fees, Late Fees
and costs) shall bear interest at the Default Rate, to be determined on the date of the entry of
the judgment.



     12.17 Relationship. Borrowers and Lender intend that the relationship between them
shall be solely that of creditor and debtor. Nothing contained in this Note or in any of the other
Loan Documents shall be deemed or construed to create a partnership, tenancy-in-common, joint
tenancy, joint venture or co-ownership by or between Borrowers and Lender.

LENDER’S AGREEMENT TO MAKE THE LOAN AND IN RECOGNITION THAT THE FOLLOWING COVENANT IS A MATERIAL
