         4. AMENDMENT TO SECTION 2.02. Section 2.02 of the Loan Agreement is
amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

                  "2.02 General Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and
         conditions of this Agreement and upon the execution by the Borrower and
         the Bank of a Master Letter of Credit Agreement dated October 19, 2004
         (as amended from time to time, the "Master Letter of Credit Agreement")
         and, the upon the execution and delivery by the Borrower, and the
         acceptance by the Bank, in its sole and absolute discretion, of, in
         each case, an application for letter of credit, the Bank agrees to
         issue or reissue for the account of the Borrower out of the Revolving
         Loan Availability, such General Letters of Credit in the standard form
         of the Bank and otherwise in form and substance acceptable to the Bank,
         from time to time during the term of this Agreement, provided that the
         General Letter of Credit Obligations may not at any time exceed in the
         aggregate the Maximum General Letter of Credit Obligation and provided,
         further, that no General Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date
         later than May 31, 2006, unless otherwise authorized by the Bank in
         writing. The Bank has issued certain letters of credit (the
         "Outstanding Old Brookdale General Letter of Credit") under the Old
         Brookdale Loan Agreement and a certain Master Letter of Credit
         Agreement dated March 31, 2004 (the "Old Brookdale MLCA") for the
         account of Old Brookdale, identified in Schedule 2.02 hereto, which
         Outstanding Old Brookdale General Letters of Credit are deemed General
         Letters of Credit issued out of the Revolving Loan Availability under
         this Agreement, and are otherwise deemed General Letters of Credit
         subject to and governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement
         and the Master Letter of Credit Agreement. The amount of any payments
         made by the Bank with respect to draws made by a beneficiary under a
         General Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have been converted to a
         Revolving Loan as of the date such payment was made by the Bank to such
         beneficiary. Upon the occurrence of an Event of a Default and at the
         option of the Bank, all General Letter of Credit Obligations shall be
         converted to Revolving Loans, all without demand, presentment, protest
         or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower."

         5. AMENDMENT TO SECTION 2.03 AND SCHEDULE 2.03. Section 2.03 of the
Loan Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

                  "2.03 Lifecare Letters of Credit. In addition to General
         Letters of Credit, the Bank hereby makes a credit facility available to
         Borrower for the purpose of issuing standby letters of credit to the
         Illinois Department of Public Health and to other state agencies
         required in order to operate Borrower's Lifecare facilities
         (separately, a "Lifecare Letter of Credit" and, if more than one, the
         "Lifecare Letters of Credit"); provided, however, the maximum aggregate
         stated amount of any and all Lifecare Letters of Credit shall not
         exceed Eight Million Six Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars
         ($8,600,000.00) [the "Lifecare Letters of Credit Cap"]. Lifecare
         Letters of Credit may be issued, cancelled and reissued form time to
         time up to the Lifecare Letters of Credit Cap and, except for the
         provisions of this Section 2.03, shall be issued under, governed by and
         subject to the terms of the Master Letter of Credit Agreement. The Bank
         has issued certain stand by letters of credit (the "Old Brookdale IDPH
         Letters of Credit") set forth in Section 2.03 for the account of Old
         Brookdale to the to the Illinois Department of Public

                                       3
<PAGE>

         Health in the aggregate stated amount of Six Million Six Hundred Forty
         Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($6,640,000.00), the reimbursement
         obligations for which have been assumed by Borrower. The Old Brookdale
         Letters of Credit constitute and are deemed Lifecare Letters of Credit
         issued under this Agreement and the Master Letter of Credit Agreement
         and are included under the Lifecare Letters of Credit Cap. The Lifecare
         Letters of Credit are not a part of nor shall any draws thereunder be
         credited against the Revolving Loan Availability. The Lifecare Letters
         of Credit set forth in Section 2.03 have an initial expiration date of
         May 31, 2005, which the Bank has agreed, upon expiration, to renew and
         reissue with an expiration date of May 31, 2006. No Lifecare Letter of
         Credit shall have an expiration date later than May 31, 2006, unless
         otherwise authorized by the Bank in writing."

                  Schedule 2.03 is hereby amended to provide that the Existing
         Expiration Date is May 31, 2005 and the Authorized Expiration Date May
         31, 2006.

         5. AMENDMENTS TO LOAN AGREEMENT. A new Section 2.12 is added to the
Loan Agreement, as follows:

         2.12 Term Loan.

                  (a) Term Loan Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions
         of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and in reliance upon
         the representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth herein and
         in the other Loan Documents, the Bank agrees to make a Term Loan equal
         to the Term Loan Commitment. The Term Loan shall be available to the
         Borrower in a single principal advance. The Term Loan shall be used by
         the Borrower to refinance certain obligations of the Borrower to the
         Bank under certain Interest Rate Agreements that are being restructured
         concurrently herewith. The Term Loan may be prepaid in whole or in part
         at any time without penalty, but shall be due in full on the Term Loan
         Maturity Date, unless the credit extended under the Term Loan is
         otherwise terminated or extended as provided in this Agreement.

                  (b) Term Loan Interest and Payments. Except as otherwise
         provided in this Section 2.12, the principal amount of the Term Loan
         outstanding from time to time shall bear interest at the Term Interest
         Rate. Accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal balance of
         the Term Loan outstanding from time to time shall be due and payable
         monthly, in arrears, commencing on May 1, 2005 and continuing on the
         first day of each calendar month thereafter, and on the Term Loan
         Maturity Date. Any amount of principal or interest on the Term Loan
         which is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration
         or otherwise, shall bear interest payable on demand at the Default
         Rate.

                  (c) Term Loan Principal Payments. The outstanding principal
         balance of the Term Loan shall be repaid in consecutive quarterly
         principal installments of Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars
         ($500,000.00) each, together with an additional amount representing
         accrued interest as set forth above, beginning on July 1, 2005, and

                                       4
<PAGE>

         continuing on the first day of each and every October, January, April
         and July thereafter, with a final payment of all outstanding principal
         and accrued interest due on the Term Loan Maturity Date. Principal
         amounts repaid on the Term Note may not be borrowed again.

                  (d) Term Note. The Term Loan shall be evidenced by a single
         Term Note (together with any and all renewal, extension, modification
         or replacement notes executed by the Borrower and given in substitution
         therefor, the "TERM NOTE") in the form of Exhibit "B" attached hereto,
         duly executed by the Borrower and payable to the order of the Bank. At
         the time of the disbursement of the Term Loan or a repayment made in
         whole or in part thereon, an appropriate notation thereof shall be made
         on the books and records of the Bank. All amounts recorded shall be,
         absent demonstrable error, conclusive and binding evidence of (i) the
         principal amount of the Term Loan advanced hereunder, (ii) any unpaid
         interest owing on the Term Loan and (iii) all amounts repaid on the
         Term Loan. The failure to record any such amount or any error in
         recording such amounts shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect
         the obligations of the Borrower under the Term Note to repay the
         principal amount of the Term Loan, together with all interest accruing
         thereon.

                  (e) The Bank may, at its sole option, accelerate the Term
         Loan, and declare the Term Loan to be immediately due and payable, in
         the event of (1) any sale or issuance by the Borrower of any equity
         interest, any security convertible into an equity interest or any
         subordinated debt, any merger of the Borrower with or into any other
         entity, any sale or exchange by the Borrower of any assets other than
         in the ordinary course of business or any contribution by Borrower to
         any direct or indirect subsidiary of any assets, or (2) any sale or
         issuance by any Significant Subsidiary of any equity interest, any
         security convertible into an equity interest or any subordinated debt,
         any merger of any Significant Subsidiary with or into any other entity,
         any sale or exchange by any Significant Subsidiary of any assets other
         than in the ordinary course of business or any contribution by any
         Significant Subsidiary of assets to any direct or indirect subsidiary
         of Borrower; provided, however, that a transaction in which there are
         no parties other than the Borrower and one or more entities which are,
         immediately prior to the event, Significant Subsidiaries shall not be
         subject to this provision. Borrower agrees to provide to the Bank at
         least thirty (30) day's prior written notice of any event described in
         the preceding sentence, which notice shall include all relevant
         details. The term "Significant Subsidiary" means any direct or indirect
         subsidiary of Borrower or any direct or indirect subsidiary of any
         subsidiary of Borrower which (i) owns any assets which are included in
         the collateral for the Term Loan or (ii) owns 5% or more of either the
         total assets or net assets of the Borrower, on a consolidated basis.

         6. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT. The obligation of the Bank to make the Loan is

                                                  WITNESSETH

         WHEREAS, Borrower has previously executed and delivered to the Bank a
certain Loan Agreement dated as of October 19, 2004 (the "Original Loan
Agreement") between Borrower and the Bank, as amended by a First Amendment Loan
Agreement dated as of March 1, 2005 and a Second Amendment Loan Agreement dated
as of March 24, 2005 (collectively and as amended, the "Loan Agreement"); and

         WHEREAS, Borrower has requested that the Bank amend certain terms of
the Loan Agreement as provided in and subject to this Amendment; and

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the covenants and
agreements herein contained, and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby
agree as follows:

         1. INCORPORATION OF RECITALS. The above and foregoing recitals are
incorporated into and made a part of this Amendment. All capitalized terms used
herein, if not otherwise specifically defined, shall have the meanings and
definitions ascribed in the Loan Agreement and the Loan Documents referred to
therein.

         2. AMENDMENT TO SECTION 2.03 AND SCHEDULE 2.03. Section 2.03 of the
Loan Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

                  "2.02 General Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and
         conditions of this Agreement and upon the execution by the Borrower and
         the Bank of a Master Letter of Credit Agreement dated October 19, 2004
         (as amended from time to time, the "Master Letter of Credit Agreement")
         and, the upon the execution and delivery by the Borrower, and the
         acceptance by the Bank, in its sole and absolute discretion, of, in
         each case, an application for letter of credit, the Bank agrees to
         issue or reissue for the account of the Borrower out of the Revolving
         Loan Availability, such General Letters of Credit in the standard form
         of the Bank and otherwise in form and substance acceptable to the Bank,
         from time to time during the term of this Agreement, provided that the
         General Letter of Credit Obligations may not at any time exceed in the
         aggregate the Maximum General Letter of Credit Obligation and provided,
         further, that no General Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date
         later than May 31, 2006, unless otherwise authorized by the Bank in
         writing. The Bank has issued certain letters of credit (the
         "Outstanding Old Brookdale General Letter of Credit") under the Old
         Brookdale Loan Agreement and a certain Master Letter of Credit
         Agreement dated March 31, 2004 (the "Old Brookdale MLCA") for the

<PAGE>

         account of Old Brookdale which Outstanding Old Brookdale General
         Letters of Credit are deemed General Letters of Credit issued out of
         the Revolving Loan Availability under this Agreement, and are otherwise
         deemed General Letters of Credit subject to and governed by the terms
         and conditions of this Agreement and the Master Letter of Credit
         Agreement. The amount of any payments made by the Bank with respect to
         draws made by a beneficiary under a General Letter of Credit shall be
         deemed to have been converted to a Revolving Loan as of the date such
         payment was made by the Bank to such beneficiary. Upon the occurrence
         of an Event of a Default and at the option of the Bank, all General
         Letter of Credit Obligations shall be converted to Revolving Loans, all
         without demand, presentment, protest or notice of any kind, all of
         which are hereby waived by the Borrower."

                  2.03 Lifecare Letters of Credit. In addition to General
         Letters of Credit, the Bank hereby makes a separate credit facility
         available to Borrower for the purpose of issuing standby letters of
         credit to the Illinois Department of Public Health and to other state
         agencies required in order to operate Borrower's Lifecare facilities
         (separately, a "Lifecare Letter of Credit" and, if more than one, the
         "Lifecare Letters of Credit"); provided, however, the maximum aggregate
         stated amount of any and all Lifecare Letters of Credit shall not
         exceed Thirteen Thousand Five Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars
         ($13,550,000.00) [the "Lifecare Letters of Credit Cap"]. The Lifecare
         Letters of Credit issued by the Bank under this Agreement are set forth
         in Schedule 2.03 hereof. The reimbursement obligations for all Lifecare
         Letters of Credit issued by the Bank to the to the Illinois Department
         of Public Health for the account of Old Brookdale prior to the date of
         the Original Agreement (the "Old Brookdale Lifecare Letters of Credit")
         have been assumed by Borrower. The Old Brookdale Lifecare Letters of
         Credit constitute and are deemed Lifecare Letters of Credit issued
         under this Agreement and the Master Letter of Credit Agreement and are
         included under the Lifecare Letters of Credit Cap. The Lifecare Letters
         of Credit are not a part of nor shall any draws thereunder be credited
         against the Revolving Loan Availability. Lifecare Letters of Credit may
         be issued, cancelled and reissued form time to time up to the Lifecare
         Letters of Credit Cap and, except for the provisions of this Section
         2.03, shall be issued under, governed by and subject to the terms of
         the Master Letter of Credit Agreement; provided, however, that no
         Lifecare Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date later than May
         31, 2006, unless otherwise authorized by the Bank in writing."

Agreement and Loan Documents provided by this Amendment shall be effective as of
