Dollars ($3,000,000.00) general aggregate limit and with the applicable limits
applying on a “per

      4.1.4. Contractor’s

construction of any of the Improvements on the Property, Borrower shall cause to
be furnished to Lender certificates from the insurance carrier for the
respective Project contractor evidencing worker’s compensation, employers’

commercial general liability insurance (including contractual liability and
completed operations coverage) written on an occurrence form, with such general
liability insurance limits as Lender may reasonably require.

       

      4.2. Policy
Requirements.  All insurance shall be carried in companies
acceptable to Lender and all policies shall name Lender as an additional insured
on a primary and non-contributory basis, mortgagee and loss
payee.  Furthermore, all insurance shall be in form and content

notice of non-payment and, to the extent limits are not otherwise specified
herein, contain deductibles which are in amounts acceptable to

parties shall appear in the mortgage or loss payable clause with respect to any
Property without Lender’s prior written consent.  All evidence of
insurance shall reference the specific projects being covered by name and

Lender.  All deductibles shall be in amounts reasonably acceptable to
Lender.

       

      4.3. Notice;
Evidence of Renewal.  Any notice pertaining to insurance and
required pursuant to this Section shall be given in the manner provided in Section 10.8 and at any additional
address of which Lender gives Borrower prior written notice.  Borrower
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Lender evidence of
renewal satisfactory to Lender at least ten (10) days before the expiration date
of existing policies or any prior renewal thereof.  If Lender has not
received satisfactory evidence of such renewal or substitute insurance as of ten
(10) days before such expiration date, Lender shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to purchase such insurance upon three (3) days’ prior notice to
Borrower (if such notice is given by

       

      
        
           

        

        
          18

provided such satisfactory evidence to Lender prior to the expiration of such
three (3) day period, or with no notice to Borrower at any time three (3) days
or less prior to such expiration date, unless Borrower has provided such
satisfactory evidence to Lender prior to Lender’s aforesaid purchase of
insurance.  Any amounts so disbursed by Lender pursuant to this
Section shall be a part of the Loan and shall bear interest at the Default
Rate.  Nothing contained in this Section shall require Lender to
incur any expense or take any action hereunder, and inaction by Lender shall
never be considered a waiver of any right accruing to Lender on account of this
Section 4.

       

      4.4. Separate
Insurance.  Borrower shall not carry any separate insurance on
the Property concurrent in kind or form with any insurance required hereunder or
contributing in the event of loss without Lender’s prior written consent and, in
the event Lender grants its consent, any such policy shall nevertheless have
attached thereto a standard non-contributing mortgagee clause, with loss payable
to Lender, and shall otherwise meet all other requirements set forth in this
Section.

       

      4.5. Leasehold
Properties.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein which
may be construed to the contrary, the Leasehold Properties shall be insured
pursuant to the requirements set forth in the Master Lease so long as all or any
portion of the Loan remains outstanding, except that, in addition to complying
with such requirements, Borrower shall cause Lender, in its capacity as lender
under the Loan, to be named as an additional insured on a primary,
non-contributory basis on any commercial liability insurance that is required
under the Master Lease and shall cause Lender, in its capacity as lender under
the Loan, to be named as loss payee and mortgagee under a so-called New York
standard non-contributory mortgagee clause on any “all risk” or “special causes
of loss” or similar policy that is required under the Master Lease.

       

      

      4.6. Fee
Properties.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein which
may be construed to the contrary, in the event of any conflict between the
requirements of this Section
4 and the insurance requirements set forth in the Capmark Loan documents,
the Fee Properties shall be insured pursuant to the requirements set forth in
the Capmark Loan documents, so long as the Capmark Loan shall be outstanding,
except that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall cause Lender, in its
capacity as lender under the Loan, to be named as an additional insured on a
primary, non-contributory basis on any commercial liability insurance that is
required under the Capmark Loan documents.

       

      5. GENERAL
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.  Borrower hereby
covenants, represents and warrants to Lender as follows:

       

      5.1. Authority.  Each
Borrower has full right, power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out
the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents

generally.

       

      5.2. Formation.  Each
Borrower that is not an individual or general partnership is a corporation,
limited liability company or limited partnership, is duly formed, validly

modify, amend, terminate or otherwise change any of the Organizational Documents
of any Borrower Party without Lender’s consent.

       

      5.3. No

contract, agreement or commitment to which it is a party, the effect of which

any of the other Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents.  The
execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents and
any other documents or instruments to be executed and delivered by Borrower
pursuant hereto, the consummation of the transactions herein or therein
contemplated, and compliance with the terms and provisions hereof or thereof,
will not (i) to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, violate any presently existing
provisions of law or any presently existing applicable regulation, order, writ,

bureau, agency or instrumentality, or (ii) conflict or be inconsistent with, or

of, or constitute a default under, or result in any acceleration of any
obligations under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, instrument,
documents, agreement or contract of any kind to which any Borrower is a party or
by which any Collateral of any Borrower may be bound.

       

      5.4. No
Litigation.  There are no petitions, actions, suits or
proceedings pending or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, threatened in
writing against or affecting any Collateral before any court or governmental,
administrative, regulatory, adjudicatory or arbitrational body or agency of any
kind, which will materially adversely affect the performance by any Borrower of
its obligations pursuant to and as contemplated by the terms and conditions of
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and the Other Related
Documents.

       

      5.5. True and
Complete Information.  To Borrower’s knowledge, neither this
Agreement, nor any other Loan Document or Other Related Document, nor any
document, financial statement, credit information, certificate or other
statement required herein furnished to Lender by any Borrower Party contains any
untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact relating
to the Collateral or any matter covered by this Agreement.

      5.7. Non
Foreign Status.  No Borrower Party is a nonresident alien for
purposes of U.S. income taxation or is not a foreign corporation, foreign
partnership, foreign trust or foreign estate (as said terms are defined in the
Internal Revenue Code and Income Tax Regulations).

       

      5.8. ERISA.  No
Borrower Party is and, for so long as any obligation of Borrower hereunder
remains outstanding, shall be an “employee benefit plan” within the meaning of

no Borrower Party’s assets constitute assets of any such plan.

       

      5.9. RICO.  There
are no suits, actions or proceedings pending or threatened against any Borrower
Party or Daniel R. Baty under a RICO Related Law.

       

      5.10. Financial
Statements; No Material Adverse Change.  Borrower has heretofore
furnished Lender a copy of each Borrower Party’s compiled financial statements
each dated as of September 30, 2008.  Such financial statements were

Party’s preparation method for the prior fiscal year and present fairly the
financial condition of such Borrower Party as of the date thereof and the
results of operations for the period then ended and otherwise comply with Section 8.1.  Since the
date of such financial statements, there has been no material adverse change in
such Borrower Party’s business or financial condition not disclosed in writing
to Lender.  Such Borrower Party has no contingent liabilities not
provided for or disclosed in said financial statements, except as disclosed in
writing to Lender.  Each Borrower Party has the financial capacity to
perform and discharge each and every one of its respective obligations and

material adverse change has occurred in the financial condition of any Borrower
Party, and (ii) no Event of Default exists and is continuing under the Master
Lease, the Brighton Lease (as defined in the Master Lease), the Fairwood Lease,
the Whitehall Lease, or any guaranty relating to any of the foregoing, and no
event or condition has arisen that, with notice or passage of time or both,
could reasonably be expected to become an Event of Default under any one or more
of the foregoing.

       

      5.11. Property
Specific.  With respect to each Property (where references are
made to “the Property” in this Section 5.11 they are intended
to refer to each and every Property):  

       

      5.11.1. Compliance

does not violate any presently existing applicable statute, law, regulation,
rule, ordinance or order of any kind whatsoever (including, without limitation,

existing environmental protection laws or regulations, or any presently existing
rules, regulations or orders of any governmental agency), or any building permit
issued with respect to the Property or any condition, easement, right-of-way,
covenant or restriction of record affecting the Property, which violation could,
in Lender’s reasonable opinion, impair any Borrower’s ability to keep or perform
any of its agreements, undertakings, obligations, covenants or conditions under
this Agreement.

       

      5.11.2. ADA
Compliance.  The Improvements on the Property are, to

      5.11.4. No
Defaults Under Agreements Affecting the Property.  There exist
no monetary defaults or other material defaults, of which the Borrower Parties

limitation, any REA), or (ii) under any material Property Lease.

       

      5.11.5. Associations.  Each
Borrower will comply, in all material respects, with all obligations arising

otherwise imposed on any Borrower under any such instrument.  Borrower
shall promptly deliver to Lender copies of any notice of default relating to any
payment or other obligation under any such instrument which any Borrower may
receive.  In the event Lender receives notice of any such payment
default from whatever source, Lender, upon prior notice to Borrower, may elect
(but shall have no obligation) to make such payment on behalf of any Borrower,
in which event the amount so paid, as determined by Lender in its sole
discretion, shall be deemed a disbursement of Loan proceeds and become
additional indebtedness under the Note.

contract or agreement relating to the management of the Properties without the
prior written consent of Lender (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)

Act.

       

      5.14. Single

Lender (and other than the Capmark Loan).

       

      5.15. Master

of all disbursements of the Loan.  All representations, warranties,
covenants and agreements made in this Agreement or in any certificate or other
document delivered to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to or in
connection with this Agreement shall be deemed to have been relied upon by
Lender notwithstanding Lender’s review of any documents or materials delivered
by Borrower to Lender pursuant to the terms hereof and notwithstanding any
investigation heretofore or hereafter made by Lender or on its behalf (and
Borrower hereby acknowledges such reliance by Lender in making the Loan and all
disbursements thereunder).

       

      5.17. Benefits
of the Loan; Additional Agreements of Emeritus.  Each Borrower
acknowledges and agrees that:

       

      (i) the
consummation of the Purchase Contracts, and, among other results thereof, the
partial terminations of the Master Lease and termination of the Brighton Lease
that will result from such consummation, are beneficial to
Borrower;

       

      (ii) without
the Loan, Emeritus, as Purchaser under the Purchase Contracts, would not have
entered into the Purchase Contracts;

       

      (iii) pursuant
to Section 3.4.4 and the other provisions of the Master Lease, upon the
consummation of the Purchase Contracts, the Security Amount (as defined in the
Master Lease) will immediately be reduced by in excess of $4,000,000.00
(exclusive of the additional amount of the Security Deposit that is being
returned on account of the termination of the Master Lease as it relates to the
Sold Properties pursuant to the Purchase Contracts) and the manner in which such
Security Amount is calculated under the Master Lease in the future will be made
substantially more favorable to Borrower, both of which results are major
benefits to Borrower;

       

      (iv) the
Master Lease, as it was entered into as of July 25, 2008 and which combined,
amended and restated two previous master leases, included material,
bargained-for and advantageous provisions in favor of Leasehold Borrowers,
including, without limitation,

       

      
        
           

        

        
          23

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      provisions
not included in the aforesaid previous master leases eliminating certain
individual Property financial tests, expanding Leasehold Borrowers’ rights
relative to assignments and changes in control, and extending certain rights of
first offer to additional Persons, that, in the business judgment of Leasehold
Borrowers, provided and provide fair consideration and value and business
justification for the agreements of Leasehold Borrowers in the Master Lease, and
in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents,
relative to the Loan, including, without limitation, the agreements of Leasehold
Borrowers, at Section 17.11 of the
Master Lease (which Section
17.11 was not included in the aforesaid previous master leases), among
other things, (x) to be a borrower under the Loan, (y) that an Event of Default
under the Loan will constitute an event of default under the Master Lease and
(z) granting the right to apply the Security Deposit to amounts owing under the
Loan; and

       

      (v) for the
preceding reasons and many others, each Borrower has, after careful
consideration and with the advice of counsel, concluded that entry into this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents is in the
best interest of each Borrower, and, without limitation of the foregoing, that
granting a lien and security interest in the Security Deposit to Lender to
secure the Loan, and agreeing that an Event of Default under the Loan will
constitute an Event of Default under the Master Lease, is in each Borrower's
best interest, notwithstanding that the proceeds of the Loan will initially be
wholly used by Emeritus to finance the consummation of the Purchase
Contracts.

       

      Moreover,
without limitation of the substantial and material benefits that each Leasehold
Borrower and SSL will realize from the Loan as referenced above, as an
additional material inducement to Leasehold Borrowers and SSL to enter into this
Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents, Emeritus
agrees (1) with and in favor of Lender and each Leasehold Borrower and SSL,
that, in the event of any application of the Security Deposit to amounts due
under the Loan or other enforcement of Lender's rights with respect to the
Security Deposit, Emeritus shall immediately take all necessary actions (whether
by depositing additional Security Deposit funds or otherwise) to restore the
amount of the Security Deposit to the Secured Amount required under the Master
Lease, in order to avoid an Event of Default under the Master Lease, and (2) for
the benefit of each Leasehold Borrower and SSL and as between Emeritus, on the
one hand, and each other Borrower, on the other hand, to indemnify and hold
harmless each Leasehold Borrower and SSL from and against any loss, damage, cost
or expense actually incurred, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and
expenses, that any Leasehold Borrower or SSL may suffer or incur as a result of
any application of the Security Deposit to amounts due under the Loan or other
enforcement of Lender's rights with respect to the Security Deposit or otherwise
as a result of collection by Lender of any amounts due under the Loan from any
Leasehold Borrower or SSL (which collection rights, and all other rights of
Lender under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Other Related
Documents, are unaffected and unimpaired by this subsection (2)).

          25

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      or permit
the Fee Owners to, discharge dredged or fill material into waters of the United
States as such activity is described and regulated by Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1344.

       

      6.2. Covenants.  Borrower
agrees as follows (where references are made to “the Property” in this Section 6.2 they are intended
to refer to each and every Property):

       

      6.2.1. No
Hazardous Activities.  Borrower shall not cause or permit the
Property or any Improvements to be used as a site for the use, generation,
manufacture, storage, treatment, release, discharge, disposal, transportation or
presence of any Hazardous Materials, other than products and materials of a type
commonly used or otherwise present in assisted living facilities, in quantities
and in a manner which complies with Hazardous Materials Laws (“Common
Materials”).

       

      6.2.2. Compliance.  Borrower
shall comply and cause the Fee Owners, the Property and the Improvements to
comply with all Hazardous Materials Laws.

       

      6.2.3. Notices.  Borrower
shall immediately notify Lender in writing of:  (i) the discovery of
any Hazardous Materials on, under or about the Property or Improvements, other
than Common Materials; (ii) any knowledge by any Borrower Party that the
Property or Improvements do not comply with any Hazardous Materials Laws; and
(iii) any Hazardous Materials Claims.  Borrower shall promptly cure
and have dismissed with prejudice, or caused to be promptly cured and dismissed
with prejudice, all Hazardous Materials Claims pursuant to applicable law, and
Borrower shall keep or cause to be kept the Property free of any encumbrance
arising from any judgment, liability or lien imposed pursuant to any Hazardous
Materials Claims.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Borrower
may, diligently, in good faith and by appropriate legal proceedings, contest, or
Borrower may permit another Borrower Party to contest, any such Hazardous
Materials Claims provided (i) Borrower first furnishes or causes to be furnished
to Lender such deposits or other collateral as Lender, in its sole discretion,
deems sufficient to fully protect Lender’s interests, (ii) such contest shall
have the effect of preventing any threatened or pending sale or forfeiture of
all or any portion of the Property or the loss or impairment of Lender’s lien
and security interests in and to the Property, and (iii) such contest will not
cause Lender to incur any liability, in Lender’s sole
judgment.  Borrower shall permit (or cause each Borrower Party to
permit) Lender, at Lender’s option (but with respect to the Fee Properties,
subject to any restrictions contained in the Capmark Loan documents of which
Borrower has provided Lender with written notice and evidence), to appear in and
to be represented in any such contest and shall pay or cause to be paid upon
demand all expenses incurred by Lender in so doing, including, without
limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses.

       

      6.2.4. Remedial
Action.  In response to the presence of any Hazard­ous
Materials on, under or about the Property or Improvements (but with respect to
the Fee Properties, subject to any restrictions contained in the Capmark Loan
documents of which Borrower has provided Lender with written notice and
evidence), Borrower shall immediately take or cause to be taken, at Borrower’s
sole expense, all remedial action required by any Hazardous Mate­rials Laws
or any judgment, consent decree, settlement or compromise in respect to any
Hazardous Materials Claims.

       

      
        
           

        

        
          26

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      6.2.5. Exceptions.  The
obligations of Borrower set forth in this Section 6.2 shall not be
applicable to any noncompliance with the terms and conditions hereof to the
extent relating to a particular Property and resulting directly from actions
taken by Lender, Lender’s nominee or a successful purchaser of Collateral after
the respective Borrower Party and its Affiliates have been dispossessed from
such Property.

       

      6.3. Inspection
By Lender.  Borrower shall provide such information and
certifications which Lender may reasonably request from time to time (whether
before or after the commencement of a nonjudicial or judicial foreclosure
proceeding) to monitor Borrower’s compliance with this Section for the sole
purpose of protecting Lender’s interest in the Properties and the Improvements
thereon.  To protect its interest in the Properties and Improvements
(but with respect to the Fee Properties, subject to any restrictions contained
in the Capmark Loan documents of which Borrower has provided Lender with written
notice and evidence), Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, at
any time upon not less than five (5) days’ written notice to Borrower, except in
the case of emergency, in which event no notice shall be required  to
enter upon the Properties, if Lender has reason to believe that Hazardous
Materials exist on the Property in violation of Hazardous Materials Laws, take
reasonably necessary samples, review any Borrower Party’s books and records
related thereto, interview any Borrower Party’s employees and officers in
relation thereto, and conduct such other related activities as Lender, in its
reasonable discretion, deems appropriate.  Each Borrower Party shall
cooperate fully in the conduct of such an audit.  If Lender decides to
conduct such an audit because of (i) a Hazardous Material Claim, (ii) the
possibility that Lender may, directly or indirectly, take possession of or title
to the Properties (or any part thereof) after an Event of Default, (iii) a
material change in the use of the Properties which, in Lender’s sole and
absolute judgment, increases the risk to its interest in such Property and the
Improvements thereon, or (iv) the introduction of Hazardous Material to any
Property, then Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid upon demand all
out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred by Lender and connected with
such audit, as determined by Lender, which, until paid, shall become additional
indebtedness under the Note secured by the Loan Documents and the Other Related
Documents.  Nothing in this Section shall give or be construed as
giving Lender the right to direct or control any Borrower Party’s actions in
complying with Hazardous Materials Laws.

       

      6.4. Lender’s
Right to Rely.  Lender is entitled to rely upon Borrower’s
representations, covenants, agreements and warranties contained in this Section
despite any independent investigations by Lender or its consultants or other
representatives.  Borrower shall take all necessary actions to
determine for itself, and to remain aware of, the environmental condition of the
Properties.  Borrower shall have no right to rely upon any independent
environmental investigations or findings made by Lender or its consultants or
other representatives unless otherwise stated in writing therein and agreed to
in writing by Lender.

       

      6.5. Hazardous
Materials Indemnity.  Subject to Section 10.24, Borrower hereby
agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Lender, its directors, officers,
employees, agents, successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any
participants in the Loan) from and against any and all losses, damages,
liabilities, claims, actions, judgments, court costs and legal or other expenses
(including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and expenses) which Lender may
incur as a direct or indirect consequence of (a) any Hazardous Material Claim,
(b) any

       

      
        
           

        

        
          27

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      misrepresentation,
inaccuracy or breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained or
referred to in this Section
6, or (c) the use,
generation, manufacture, storage, disposal, threatened disposal, transportation
or presence of Hazardous Materials in, on, under or about the Properties or
Improvements (collectively, the “Indemnified
Matters”).  The Indemnified Matters shall include, without
limita­tion:  (i) the reasonable costs, whether foreseeable or
unforeseeable, of any repair, cleanup or detoxification of the Properties which
is required by any governmental entity or is otherwise necessary to render the
Properties in compliance with all laws and regulations pertaining to Hazardous
Ma­terials; (ii) all other direct or indirect consequen­tial damages
(including, without limita­tion, any third party tort claims or governmental
claims, fines or penalties against Lender, any corporation con­trolled by
Lender, or any of their re­spective directors, officers, employ­ees,
agents, successors or assigns); and (iii) all court costs and reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses paid or incurred by Lender, any entity
con­trolled by Lender, or any of their respec­tive directors, officers,
employ­ees, agents, successors or assigns relating to the subject matter
hereof.  Borrower shall immediately pay to Lender upon demand any
amounts owing under this indemnity, together with interest from the date the
indebtedness arises until paid at the rate of interest applicable to the
principal balance of the Note.  Borrower’s duty and obligations to
defend, indemnify and hold harmless Lender shall survive the cancellation of the
Note and the release, reconveyance or partial reconveyance of any of the
Mortgages or other Collateral.  Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, the above indemnities shall not apply to the extent that
a matter relates to a particular Property and results solely and directly from
the actions of Lender and first arises after the date the respective Borrower
Party and its Affiliates are dispossessed from such Property, or with respect to
the Fee Properties, first arises after the date the applicable Fee Owner is no
longer controlled by Borrower or an Affiliate of Borrower due to a default under
the Loan and Lender’s pursuit of its remedies hereunder or under any of the
other Loan Documents.

       

      6.6. California
Deed of Trust.  Notwithstanding anything which might be
construed herein or in the California Deed of Trust or in any of the other Loan
Documents or the Other Related Documents to the contrary, in no event shall
Borrower’s obligations and liabilities under the foregoing Section 6 be secured by the
lien of the California Deed of Trust.

       

      7. GENERAL
COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND AGREEMENTS.  Borrower hereby
further covenants and agrees with Lender as follows:

       

      7.1. Compliance
with Loan Documents.  Borrower shall, and shall cause the Fee
Owners to, comply with, observe and timely perform each and every one of the
covenants, agreements and obligations under each and every one of the Loan
Documents and the Other Related Documents.

       

      7.2. Use of
the Property.  Borrower shall, and shall cause the Fee Owners
to, not make, suffer or permit any use of the Property for any purpose other
than assisted
living facilities (along with ancillary independent living facilities) and/or
Alzheimer’s facilities and related or appurtenant uses.

       

      7.3. Property
Leases and Other Transfers.  Borrower shall not, and shall
cause the Fee Owners not to, without the prior written consent of Lender (to be
granted or withheld in Lender’s sole discretion), enter into any new Property
Lease, modify, surrender, terminate,

       

      
        
           

        

        
          28

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      extend or
renew, either orally or in writing, any Property Lease now existing or hereafter
created upon the Property or any part thereof, or permit an assignment or
sublease thereof without the prior written consent of Lender (to be granted or
withheld in Lender’s sole discretion).  Borrower shall not, and shall
cause the Fee Owners not to, without the prior written consent of Lender, assign
or further encumber or convey or dispose (or permit or consent or agree to the
conveyance, encumbrance or disposal) of any interest in the Property (it being
understood that Lender has consented to the Capmark Loan), and any assignment or
encumbrance, or purported assignment or encumbrance, conveyance or disposal of
any of the foregoing shall be void and of no effect for any purpose
whatsoever.

       

      7.4. Covenants,
Conditions and Restrictions.  Borrower shall not record (or
cause or allow to be recorded) any covenants, conditions, restrictions or
declarations or any other agreement or instrument with respect to any portion of
the Property, without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld.  Subject to the terms of the Capmark
Loan, Lender may, in the exercise of its discretion, require that Borrower
execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to Lender a
collateral assignment of the declarant’s rights thereunder, to the extent
Borrower is the declarant, together with such other security agreements,
financing statements and instruments as Lender may require which have the effect
of creating a collateral assignment of any Borrower Party’s interest as
declarant, all in a form acceptable to Lender.

       

      7.5. Other
Agreements Affecting the Property.  Subject to the provisions
of the Capmark Loan, Borrower shall not, and shall not permit the Fee Owners to,
enter into any written agreement nor amend or modify, in any material respect,
any REA or any other easements, covenants or conditions affecting all or any
portion of the Property, without the prior written consent of Lender (to be
granted or withheld in Lender’s sole discretion).

       

      7.6. Management
Agreement. Borrower shall not, and
shall not permit the Fee Owners to,  enter into any contract or
agreement relating to the management of the Property (nor shall it permit any
Borrower Party to enter into any such agreement) unless such contract or
agreement (i) has been approved in writing by Lender, which approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (ii) can be terminated (for any reason) by
Borrower or its successors or assigns or any subsequent owner or operator of the
subject Property (at no cost or expense) upon thirty (30) days’ written notice,
and (iii) if required by Lender in its discretion, is the subject of a fully
executed and delivered Lender’s form of Assignment and Subordination of
Management Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender agrees
that, for so long as a particular Fee Property is encumbered by the Capmark
Loan, such Fee Property may be managed by Emeritus or SSL pursuant to a
management agreement acceptable to Capmark and that complies with subsection
(ii) above.

       

      7.7. Inspection
of Books and Records.  Borrower shall keep and maintain, and
shall cause the Fee Owner’s to keep and maintain, at the Property or at
Borrower’s main office, proper and accurate books, records and accounts
reflecting all items of income and expense incurred by any Borrower Party in

services, equipment or furnishings provided in the operation of the
Property.  Borrower shall allow, and shall cause the Fee Owners to
allow, Lender and any of Lender’s representatives, at any time during normal
business hours, access to the records and books of account,
including,

       

      
        
           

        

        
          29

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      without
limitation, any supporting or related vouchers or papers kept at the Property or
at any Borrower Party’s main office, by or on behalf of any Borrower Party or
any of its representatives in connection with the Property, such access to
include the right to make abstracts or copies thereof.

       

      7.8. Litigation.  During
the term of the Loan, Borrower shall, upon receiving notice of same, promptly
furnish Lender a written notice of any material litigation in which any Borrower
Party is named as defendant or affecting or relating to the Property or any
portion thereof, other than personal injury or workers compensation claims which
are covered by insurance and minor construction contract disputes.

       

      7.9. ­No Lien
Rights.  If any Borrower or any person or entity controlled by
or affiliated with Borrower acts as a general contractor, architect, engineer,
subcontractor, property manager, supplier of materials, or otherwise performs
lienable work or services with respect to any part of the Property, Borrower
hereby irrevocably waives and relinquishes, or shall cause its Affiliate to
waive and relinquish, as appropriate, any and all lien rights it may obtain as a
result of such work or services.

       

      7.10. No
Transfers or Other Financing.  Other than with respect to a
Permitted Transfer, Borrower shall not permit a Transfer of all or any portion
of any direct or indirect ownership interest in any Borrower
Party.  In addition to the foregoing, other than with respect to a
Permitted Transfer, Borrower shall not permit a Transfer of the Property or any
other Collateral (or any portion thereof or any direct or indirect interest
therein), other than the encumbrance of such Property with the liens of the Loan
Documents and the Other Related Documents (and other than the liens granted
pursuant to the Capmark Loan).  Other than any assignments or
encumbrances evidenced by the Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents
(and other than the liens granted pursuant to the Capmark Loan), no Borrower
Party shall, without the prior written consent of Lender, assign or further
encumber or convey or dispose, or consent or agree, to the conveyance,
encumbrance or disposal (except for sales contracts entered into in compliance
with the provisions of this Agreement) of any other interest in the Property or
the Collateral, and any assignment or encumbrance, or purported assignment or
encumbrance, conveyance or disposal of any of the foregoing shall be void and of
no effect for any purpose whatsoever.  Furthermore, no Borrower Party
shall, without the prior written consent of Lender, enter into any financing
arrangement or loan transaction or consent to or agree to any such financing
arrangement or loan transaction (except with respect to a time when this Loan
has been repaid in full) other than the Loan, and any such financing arrangement
or loan transaction shall be void and of no effect for any purpose whatsoever
(and other than the liens granted pursuant to the Capmark Loan).

       

      7.11. No
Related Party Payments.  At any time after, and during the
continuance of, an Event of Default, no distributions or other payments shall be
made directly or indirectly by any Borrower Party or its partners, members or
managers to any person or entity or affiliate thereof owning a direct or
indirect interest in any Borrower Party or its partners, members or
managers.

       

      7.12. Mechanics
Liens.  If a claim of a mechanics or materialman’s lien is
recorded which affects any Property, Borrower shall, within twenty (20) days
after any Borrower Party

       

      
        
           

        

        
          30

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      becomes
aware of such recording or service or within five (5) days of Lender’s demand,
which­ever occurs first: (i) pay and discharge the claim of lien; (ii)

      7.13. Inspections.  Borrower
shall permit (and shall cause each Fee Owner to permit), and shall cooperate
(and shall cause each Fee Owner to cooperate) with Lender in arranging for,
inspections of the Property from time to time by any representatives of
Lender.  In the event that such representative furnishes Lender with
reports covering such inspections, Lender may, but is not under any obligation
whatsoever to, furnish Borrower with copies of any of said
reports.  Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i) all of such
inspections and reports shall be made for the sole benefit of Lender and not for
the benefit of any Borrower Party or any third party, and none of Lender, nor
any of Lender’s representatives assume any responsibility or liability (except
to Lender) by reason of such inspections, reports or the furnishing of any of
such reports to Borrower, (ii) no Borrower Party shall rely upon any of such
inspections or reports for any purpose whatsoever, and (iii) such inspections
and the furnishing of any of such reports to Borrower shall not constitute a
waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement or any of the obligations of
Borrower hereunder.

       

      7.14. Construction.  Borrower
shall not, and shall not permit the Fee Owners to (except as required pursuant

Pond Borrower alone, as mortgagor, and recorded without a “Consent” attached
thereto evidencing the consent and agreement of each other
Borrower.  Notwithstanding anything which may be construed to the
contrary in the Massachusetts Mortgage, and whether or not the aforesaid
"Consent" is a part of the recorded Massachusetts Mortgage, each Borrower does
hereby consent and agree to the terms and conditions of the Massachusetts
Mortgage, and covenants and agrees to be bound by its terms and liable for the
payment and performance of all of the obligations of Farm Pond Borrower
thereunder.

the operation thereof; (d) a monthly summary of accounts receivable with respect
to each Property and all of the Properties in form acceptable to Lender; and (e)

obligation to fund the Assignee Lender’s share of the Loan).  Within
five (5) Business Days after receipt of a copy of the executed assignment and
acceptance document, along with a form new Note or Notes (in the same form as
the existing Note except for changes to specifically address the assignment of
all or a portion of the Note), at Lender’s request, Borrower shall execute and
deliver to Lender a new Note or Notes in the form provided by Lender, as
applicable (for delivery to the relevant Assignee Lender), evidencing such
Assignee Lender’s assigned portion of the Loan and a replacement Note or Notes,
as applicable, in the principal amount of the Loan retained by Lender (such
Note(s) to be in exchange for, but not in payment of, the Note then
held

       

      
        
           

        

        
          38

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      by
Lender).  Such Note(s) shall be dated the date of the predecessor
Note.  Lender shall hold such new Note or Notes in escrow until Lender
has marked the predecessor Note(s) “exchanged” and delivered it to
Borrower.  Accrued interest on that part of the predecessor Note(s)
evidenced by the new Note(s), and accrued fees, shall be paid as provided in the
assignment agreement between Lender and to the Assignee Lender, provided that in
no event shall Borrower pay any duplicate interest or fees.  Accrued
interest on that part of the predecessor Note(s) evidenced by the replacement
Note(s) shall be paid to Lender, provided that in no event shall Borrower pay
any duplicate interest or fees.  Accrued interest and accrued fees
shall be so apportioned between the Note(s) and paid at the same time or times
provided in the predecessor Note(s) and in this Agreement, provided that in no
event shall Borrower pay any duplicate interest or fees.  Borrower
authorizes Lender to disclose to any prospective Assignee Lender any financial
or other information pertaining to Borrower, the Loan, the Properties or
Improvements, provided that such prospective Assignee Lender agrees to keep such
information confidential in accordance with customary lending
practice.  In addition, Borrower agrees that, in connection with any
complete assignment of the Loan, if so requested by Lender and at Lender’s
expense, Borrower will cause all insurance policies, binders and commitments
(including, without limitation, casualty insurance and title insurance) required
by the Loan Documents or the Other Related Documents to be delivered to Lender
to name the Assignee Lender as an additional insured or obligee, as Lender may
request.  In the event of a granting of a participation or an
assignment of less than all of its interest in the Loan, Ventas Realty, Limited
Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, shall continue to act as agent for
Lender and any notice, report or other document delivered to agent shall be
deemed to have been delivered to any party then constituting
Lender.  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,
and without the need to comply with any of the formal or procedural requirements
of this Agreement, including this Section 10.2, Lender may at any
time and from time to time pledge and assign all or any portion of its rights
under all or any of the Loan Documents or the Other Related Documents to a
Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release
Lender from its obligations thereunder.

       

      10.2.2. In the
event that (i) an Assignee Lender (or, if such Assignee Lender is a disregarded
entity for United States federal income tax purposes, the entity or person
treated, for United States federal income tax purposes, as the owner of the
assets of such Assignee Lender) is not organized under the laws of the United
States or a state thereof and (ii) such Assignee Lender fails to establish to
the reasonable satisfaction of Borrower that payments under the Loan Documents
are exempt from United States withholding taxes, Borrower shall not be required
to “gross-up” payments made to such Assignee Lender for United States
withholding taxes required to be withheld by Borrower.  Any amounts
payable to an Assignee Lender that are subject to United States withholding
taxes shall be withheld by Borrower and remitted to the applicable taxing
authority and treated, for purposes of this Agreement and all other Loan
Documents, as if they were paid to such Assignee Lender.

       

      10.3. Prohibition
on Assignment.  Borrower shall not assign or attempt to assign
its rights under this Agreement, either voluntarily or by operation of
law.

       

      10.4. Time of
the Essence.  Time is of the essence of this
Agreement.

       

      
        
           

        

        
          39

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      10.5. No
Waiver.  No waiver of any term, provision, condition, covenant
or agreement herein contained shall be effective unless set forth in a writing
signed by Lender, and any such waiver shall be effective only to the extent set
forth in such writing.  No failure to exercise or delay in exercising,
by Lender or any holder of the Note, of any right, power or privilege hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or
the exercise of any other right or remedy provided by law.  The rights
and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any
right or remedy provided by law or equity.  No notice or demand on
Borrower in any case shall, in itself, entitle Borrower to any other or further
notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the
rights of Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without
notice or demand.  No consent or waiver, expressed or implied, by
Lender to or of any breach or default by Borrower in the performance of its
obligations hereunder shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to
or of any other breach or default in the performance of the same or any other
obligations of Borrower hereunder.  Failure on the part of Lender to
complain of any acts or failure to act or to declare an Event of Default,
irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver
by Lender of its rights hereunder or impair any rights, powers or remedies on
account of any breach or default by Borrower.

       

      10.6. Severability.  Any
provision of this Agreement which is unenforceable or invalid or contrary to
law, or the inclusion of which would adversely affect the validity, legality or
enforcement of this Agreement, shall be of no effect and, in such case, all the
remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall subsist and be fully
effective according to the tenor of this Agreement the same as though any such
invalid portion had never been included herein.  Notwithstanding any
of the foregoing to the contrary, if any provisions of this Agreement or the
application thereof are held invalid or unenforceable only as to particular
persons or situations, the remainder of this Agreement, and the application of
such provision to persons or situations other than those to which it shall have
been held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, but shall
continue valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by
law.

       

      10.7. Use of
Proceeds.  All agreements between Borrower and Lender
(including, without limitation, this Agreement and any other Loan Documents or
the Other Related Documents) are expressly limited so that in no event
whatsoever shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Lender exceed the
highest lawful rate of interest permissible under the laws of the State of
Illinois.  If, from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any
provision hereof or of any other Loan Documents or the Other Related Documents,
at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve exceeding
the limit of validity prescribed by law which a court of competent jurisdiction
may deem applicable hereto, then ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled
shall be reduced to the highest lawful rate of interest permissible under the
laws of the State of Illinois, and if for any reason whatsoever, Lender shall
ever receive as interest an amount which would be deemed unlawful, such interest
shall be applied to the payment of the last maturing installment or installments
of the indebtedness secured by the Collateral (whether or not then due and
payable) and not to the payment of interest.

       

      10.8. Notices.  All
notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals and other communications
hereunder shall be in writing and delivered (i) by mail (registered or
certified

nationally recognized overnight courier service, in which case such notice shall

      10.9. Successors
and Assigns.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the
parties and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and
assigns except that, unless Lender consents in writing, no assignment made by
Borrower in violation of this Agreement shall confer any rights on any assignee
of Borrower.

      10.10. No Joint
Venture.  Nothing contained herein or in any document executed
pursuant hereto and no action or inaction whatsoever on the part of Lender,
shall be deemed to make Lender a partner or joint venturer with
Borrower.

       

      10.11. Brokerage
Commissions.  Borrower and Lender each represent that they have
not engaged any broker in connection with the transaction contemplated by this
Agreement.  Borrower and Lender shall each indemnify, defend and hold
the other party and their respective Affiliates harmless from and against any
and all losses, liabilities, obligations, penalties, claims, fines, lost
profits, demands, litigation, defenses, costs, judgments, suits, proceedings,
damages, disbursements or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including,
without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses), consequential or otherwise,
which may at any time be either directly or indirectly imposed upon, incurred by
or asserted or awarded against such party or any of its Affiliates in connection
with, arising out of or relating to any claim of a broker’s or finder’s fee
against such party or any person or entity in connection with the Loan herein
contemplated arising out of or relating to Borrower’s or Lender’s action or
inaction.

       

      10.12. Publicity.  Borrower
shall not publicize this Loan without the prior written consent of Lender, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld, or as required by applicable securities
laws.

       

      10.13. Documentation.  Subject
to the express terms of this Agreement, all documents and other matters required
by any of the provisions of this Agreement to be submitted or furnished to
Lender shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Lender.

       

      10.14. Additional
Assurances.  Borrower agrees that, at any time or from time to
time, upon the written request of Lender, it will execute all such further
documents and do all such other acts and things as Lender may reasonably request
to effectuate the transaction herein contemplated.

       

      10.15. Entire
Agreement.  This Agreement and the Exhibits hereto constitute
the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject
matter hereof and may not be modified or amended in any manner other than by
supplemental written agreement executed by the parties hereto.

       

      10.16. Choice of
Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the internal laws of the State of Illinois.  Nothing
herein shall be deemed to limit any rights, powers or privileges which Lender
may have pursuant to any law of the United States of America or any rule,
regulation or order of any department or agency thereof and nothing herein shall
be deemed to make unlawful any transaction or conduct by Lender which is lawful
pursuant to, or which is permitted by, any of the foregoing.  Borrower
acknowledges that Lender’s principal office is located in Chicago, Illinois and
that Lender may be irreparably harmed if required to institute or defend any
action in any jurisdiction other than the Northern District of Illinois or Cook
County, Illinois or, with respect to enforcement of the Mortgages, the States
where the respective Leasehold Properties are located.  Therefore,
Borrower irrevocably (i) agrees that any suit, action or other legal
proceeding relating to this Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or
the Other Related Documents may be brought, at Lender’s sole option, only in the
Circuit Court of Cook County or in the Northern District of Illinois or,
with

       

      
        
           

        

        
          42

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      respect
to enforcement of the Mortgages, any state or Federal court sitting in the
counties where the respective Leasehold Properties are located,
(ii) consents to the jurisdiction of each such court in any such suit,
action or proceeding, (iii) waives any objection which Borrower may have to
the laying of venue in any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court,
and (iv) waives personal service of any and all process (in any court or
jurisdiction whatsoever) and consents that all such services of process may be
made by certified mail return receipt requested directed to Borrower at the
address indicated in Section
10.8 herein, and services
so made shall be complete five (5) days after the same has been deposited in the
U.S. Mail as aforesaid.

       

      10.17. No Third
Party Beneficiary.  This Agreement is made for the sole benefit
of Borrower and Lender, and no other person shall be deemed to have any privity
of contract hereunder nor any right to rely hereon to any extent or for any
purpose whatsoever, nor shall any other person have any right of action of any
kind hereon or be deemed to be a third party beneficiary hereunder.

       

      10.18. Legal
Tender of United States.  All payments hereunder shall be made
in coin or currency which at the time of payment is legal tender in the United
States of America for public and private debts.

       

      10.19. Definitions;
Captions.  With respect to any reference in this Agreement to
any defined term, (i) if such defined term refers to a person, or a trust,
corporation, partnership or other entity, then it shall also mean all heirs,
legal representatives, successors and assigns of such person or entity, and (ii)
if such defined term refers to a document, instrument or agreement, then it
shall also include any replacement, extension or other modification
thereof.  Captions contained in this Agreement in no way define, limit
or extend the scope or intent of their respective provisions.

       

      10.20. Interpretation.  All
references herein to a party’s best knowledge shall be deemed to mean the best
knowledge of such party based on commercially reasonable inquiry.  All
references herein to Borrower’s knowledge shall be deemed to refer to the actual
knowledge of each Borrower Party.  Unless specified to the contrary
herein, all references herein to an exercise of discretion or judgment by
Lender, to the making of a determination or designation by Lender, to the
application of Lender’s discretion or opinion, to the granting or withholding of
Lender’s consent or approval, to the consideration of whether a matter or thing
is satisfactory or acceptable to Lender, or otherwise involving the decision
making of Lender, shall be deemed to mean that Lender shall decide unilaterally
using its sole and absolute discretion or judgment.  The terms “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder” and any other
similar terms used herein shall be deemed to refer to this Agreement in its
entirety.  Any reference contained herein, or in any of the other Loan
Documents or Other Related Documents, to attorneys’ fees and expenses shall be
deemed to be reasonable fees and expenses of Lender’s outside counsel and of any
other third-party experts or consultants engaged by Lender’s outside counsel on
Lender’s behalf and, in the case of attorneys’ fees and expenses, shall include,
without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses at trial, on appeal, in a
bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise.  All references to any Loan
Document or Other Related Document shall be deemed to be to such document as
amended, modified or restated from time to time.

       

      
        
           

        

        
          43

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      10.21. WAIVER OF
RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL.  BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY KNOWINGLY,
VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT THAT THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY
JURY IN ANY LITIGATION ARISING IN ANY WAY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE
NOTE OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR OTHER RELATED DOCUMENTS, OR ANY OTHER
STATEMENTS OR ACTIONS OF BORROWER OR LENDER.  EACH OF BORROWER AND
LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN REPRESENTED IN THE SIGNING OF THIS
AGREEMENT AND IN THE MAKING OF THIS WAIVER BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL SELECTED
OF ITS OWN FREE WILL, AND THAT IT HAS DISCUSSED THIS WAIVER WITH SUCH LEGAL
COUNSEL. BORROWER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) IT HAS READ AND UNDERSTANDS THE
MEANING AND RAMIFICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (II) THIS WAIVER HAS BEEN REVIEWED BY
BORROWER AND BORROWER’S COUNSEL AND IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR LENDER TO ENTER
INTO THE AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND OTHER RELATED DOCUMENTS, AND
(III) THIS WAIVER SHALL BE EFFECTIVE AS TO EACH OF SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR
OTHER RELATED DOCUMENTS AS IF FULLY INCORPORATED THEREIN.

       

      10.22. Credit
Reporting.  Borrower acknowledges that the following notice is
provided as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act:  Lender may
report information about the Loan/Borrower’s account to credit bureaus and late
payments, missed payments or other defaults on such Loan/Borrower’s account may
be reflected in Borrower’s credit report.

       

      10.23. Duplication
of Deliveries.   To the extent that Borrower or any
Borrower Party is required to make a delivery to Lender of any notice, report,
agreement or other document hereunder that such Borrower, Borrower Party, or any
Affiliate thereof, is also required to deliver to the landlord under the Master
Lease, so long as Lender or its Affiliates, either directly or indirectly,
continues to be the landlord under the Master Lease, the delivery of such
notices, reports, agreements or other documents the Master Lease shall
constitute delivery by such Borrower, Borrower Party, or any Affiliate thereof,
to Lender hereunder, and neither Borrower, Borrower Party nor or any Affiliate
thereof shall be obligated to make a duplicate delivery hereunder.

       

      10.24.  
Conflicts
with Master Lease.  Notwithstanding anything which may be
construed to the contrary in this Agreement, and except as expressly set forth
herein, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i) except as provided in the Cash
Collateral Agreement and the Consent and Agreement of Master Landlord relating
to such agreement, (a) in no event will the terms, conditions, restrictions or
obligations of Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or
Other Related Documents impair or abrogate the rights or remedies of Master
Landlord under the Master Lease or any guaranty made in conjunction therewith,
and (b) nothing herein shall be construed so as to prevent Master Landlord from
exercising or enforcing any or all of its rights and remedies under the Master
Lease in accordance with the terms thereof, and (ii) in no event will the terms,
conditions, restrictions or obligations of Master Landlord under the Master
Lease impair or abrogate the rights or remedies of Lender under this Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, and nothing
herein shall be construed so as to prevent Lender from exercising or enforcing
any or all of its rights

       

      
        
           

        

        
          44

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      and
remedies under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or Other
Related Documents in accordance with the terms thereof.  Without
limitation of the Cash Collateral Agreement and the Consent and Agreement of
Master Landlord relating to such agreement, in the event of a clear and
unavoidable conflict between the terms of this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents or Other Related Documents and the terms of the Master Lease, for
so long as Ventas Realty, Limited Partnership and/or any of its affiliates are
both Lender under this Agreement and Master Landlord under the Master Lease,
such conflict shall be resolved by Ventas Realty, Limited Partnership, in its
sole and absolute discretion.

       

      10.25. Liability
Limitation.  This Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan
Documents and the Other Related Documents are being entered into between
Borrower and Lender to create a borrower/lender relationship with respect to the
Loan, and Borrower and Lender agree that, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents and
the Other Related Documents, (i) in the case of any indemnity of Lender by
Borrower that is contained in this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan
Documents and/or the Other Related Documents, Borrower shall not be liable to
indemnify Lender with respect to any loss, damage, cost or expense, including,
without limitation, attorneys' fees, that is incurred by Lender if and to the
extent that the same arises as a result of Lender being the Master Landlord
under the Master Lease and (ii) in the case of any covenant or agreement by
Borrower that is contained in this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan
Documents and/or the Other Related Documents and breached by Borrower, Borrower
shall not be liable for any damages suffered by Lender as a result of such
breach if and to the extent that such damages are suffered by Lender as a result
of Lender being the Master Landlord under the Master Lease.  For
example, if Borrower indemnifies Lender from certain environmental claims in a
Loan Document, Lender suffers a loss from a claim of the nature described in the
indemnity provision of such Loan Document and Lender suffers the loss, not
because it is the Lender (e.g. because it does not have or exercise under the
Loan Documents liability-creating dominion over the property in its capacity as
Lender) but instead as a result of the fact that, e.g., in its capacity as
Master Landlord it exercised rights of control or consent under the Master Lease
that resulted in the attachment of liability for the particular claim, then
subsection (i) above would exculpate Borrower from liability under the aforesaid
Loan Document indemnity provision.

    FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the
undersigned, EMERITUS
CORPORATION,
a Washington corporation; SUMMERVILLE SENIOR LIVING, INC., a Delaware
corporation; SW ASSISTED LIVING, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company; SUMMERVILLE AT HERITAGE PLACE, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company; SUMMERVILLE AT BARRINGTON COURT LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company; SUMMERVILLE AT ROSEVILLE GARDENS LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company; SUMMERVILLE 5 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company; SUMMERVILLE 14
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company; SUMMERVILLE 15 LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company; SUMMERVILLE 16 LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company; and SUMMERVILLE 17 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (on a
joint and several basis, collectively “Borrower” or individually each
a “Borrower” as the
context may require, as determined by Lender), promise to pay to the order of
VENTAS REALTY, LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Delaware limited partnership, or the
holder hereof from time to time (“Lender”), at such place as may
be designated in writing by Lender, the principal sum of TEN MILLION AND
NO/100THS DOLLARS ($10,000,000.00), with interest thereon as hereinafter
provided.  This note (as amended, supplemented, restated or replaced
from time to time, this “Note”) is issued pursuant to
the terms of a Loan Agreement of even date herewith by and between Borrower and
Lender (said Loan Agreement, as same may be amended, restated or modified from
time to time, is referred to hereinafter as the “Loan
Agreement”).  All capitalized terms used but not defined herein
shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Loan
Agreement.  NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED HEREIN OR IN THE LOAN
AGREEMENT WHICH MIGHT BE CONSTRUED TO THE CONTRARY, BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES AND
AGREES THAT LENDER IS UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO MAKE ANY ADDITIONAL ADVANCES
HEREUNDER FOLLOWING THE INITIAL ADVANCE.

     

    Interest
shall accrue on all sums as advanced and outstanding from time to time under
this Note and Loan Agreement as set forth in the Loan Agreement, and such
interest shall be due and payable as set forth in the Loan Agreement. All sums
owing hereunder are payable in lawful money of the United States of America, in
immediately available funds.

     

    The
outstanding principal balance of this Note, together with all accrued and unpaid
interest, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.  Additional
principal payments shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the Loan
Agreement.

     

    This Note
is issued pursuant to the terms of a Loan Agreement and is secured by and
entitled to the benefits of, among other things, the Collateral
Documents.  In case an Event of  Default (as defined under
any of the Loan Agreement, the Collateral Documents, or any other Loan Document
or Other Related Document) shall occur and be continuing (any of the foregoing
being an “Event of
Default” hereunder), the principal of this Note together with all accrued
interest thereon may, at the option of the holder hereof, immediately become due
and payable on demand; provided, however, that if any document related to this
Note provides for automatic

     

    
      
         

      

      
        1

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    acceleration
of payment of sums owing hereunder, all sums owing hereunder shall be
automatically due and payable in accordance with the terms of that
document.

     

    Unless
otherwise provided in the Loan Agreement, all payments on account of the
indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall be first applied to the payment of
costs and expenses of Lender which are due and payable pursuant to the Loan
Agreement or any other Loan Document or Other Related Document, then to past-due
interest on the unpaid principal balance and the remainder to
principal.

     

    This Note
may be prepaid upon those terms and conditions set forth in the Loan
Agreement.

     

    If any
payment of interest required hereunder or under any other Loan Document or Other
Related Document is not received by Lender on or before the fifth (5th) day
following the date such payment becomes due, Borrower shall pay to Lender a late
charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of such
unpaid payment to defray part of the increased cost of collecting late payments
and the opportunity costs incurred by Lender because of the unavailability of
the funds.  If such interest payment is not received by Lender on or
before the fifth (5th) day
following the date when it becomes due, Borrower shall pay interest on the
entire outstanding principal balance of this Note at the Default Rate from and
after the date when the payment was due.

     

    If any
payment of principal required hereunder or under any other Loan Document or
Other Related Document, other than the repayment of the Loan Amount due on the
Maturity Date, is not received by Lender on or before the date such payment
becomes due, Borrower shall pay to Lender a late charge equal to five percent
(5%) of the amount of such unpaid payment to defray part of the increased cost
of collecting late payments and the opportunity costs incurred by Lender because
of the unavailability of the funds.  In addition to the late charge,
Borrower shall pay interest on the entire outstanding principal balance of this
Note at the Default Rate from and after the date when the payment was
due.

     

    Effective
immediately upon the occurrence of any Event of Default other than default in
the payment of interest or principal as described in the preceding two
paragraphs, the balance of this Note then outstanding shall bear interest at the
Default Rate (based on a 360-day year and charged on the basis of actual days
elapsed).  In addition, all other amounts due Lender (whether directly
or for reimbursement) under this Note, the Loan Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, if not paid when due or, in the event
no time period is expressed, if not paid within five (5) days after written
notice from Lender that the same has become due, shall also bear interest
thereafter at the Default Rate.

     

    If any
attorney is engaged by Lender to enforce or defend any provision of this Note or
any of the other Loan Documents or Other Related Documents as a consequence of
any Event of Default or any default, event or condition that, with notice or the
passage of time or both, could become an Event of Default or is engaged by
Lender in connection with any request by Borrower for any consent or approval by
Lender that is required under this Note or any other Loan Document or Other
Related Document, with or without the filing of any legal action or proceeding,
then Borrower shall pay to Lender immediately upon demand all third
party

     

    
      
         

      

      
        2

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    attorneys’
fees and expenses actually incurred, together with interest thereon from the
date of such demand until paid at the rate of interest applicable to the
principal balance owing hereunder as if such attorneys’ fees and expenses had
been added to the principal.

     

    No
previous waiver and no failure or delay by Lender in acting with respect to the
terms of this Note or any of the other Loan Documents or Other Related Documents
shall constitute a waiver of any other breach, default or failure of condition
under this Note, the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or Other
Related Documents or the obligations secured thereby.  A waiver of any
term of this Note or any of the other Loan Documents or Other Related Documents
or of any of the obligations secured thereby must be made in writing and shall
be limited to the express written terms of such waiver.  In the event
of any inconsistencies between the terms of this Note and the terms of any other
document related to the loan evidenced by this Note, the terms of this Note
shall prevail.

     

    Except as
otherwise provided in the Loan Agreement, Borrower expressly waives
present­ment, demand, notice of dishonor, notice of default or delinquency,
notice of acceleration, notice of protest and nonpayment, notice of costs,
expenses or losses and interest thereon, notice of late charges, and diligence
in taking any action to collect any sums owing under this Note or in proceeding
against any of the rights or interests in or to properties securing payment of
this Note.  In addition, Borrower expressly agrees that this Note and
any payment coming due hereunder may be extended from time to time without in
any way affecting the liability of any party hereunder.

     

    Time is
of the essence with respect to every provision hereof.  This Note
shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of
Illinois, except to the extent that federal laws preempt the laws of the State
of Illinois, and all persons and entities in any manner obligated under this
Note consent to the jurisdiction of any federal or State court within the State
of Illinois having proper venue and also consent to service of process by any
means authorized by Illinois or federal law.  Any reference contained
herein to attorneys’ fees and expenses shall be deemed to be to reasonable
out-of-pocket fees and expenses and to include all reasonable fees and expenses
of any other experts or consultants, but not of in-house or staff
attorneys.

     

    All
agreements between Borrower and Lender (including, without limitation, this Note
and the Loan Agreement, and any other documents securing all or any part of the
indebtedness evidenced hereby) are expressly limited so that in no event
whatsoever shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Lender exceed the
highest lawful rate of interest permissible under applicable law.  If,
from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof, the Loan
Agreement or any other documents securing all or any part of the indebtedness
evidenced hereby at the time performance of such provisions shall be due, shall
involve exceeding the limit of validity prescribed by law which a court of
competent jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto, then, ipso facto, the
obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the highest lawful rate of
interest permissible under such applicable laws, and if, for any reason
whatsoever, Lender shall ever receive as interest an amount which would be
deemed unlawful under such applicable law, such interest shall be automatically
applied to the payment of the principal of this Note (whether or not then due
and payable) and not to the payment of interest or refunded to Borrower if such
principal has been paid in full.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        3

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    Lender is
authorized to make, from time to time and based upon Lender’s records, notations
on its records as to the date and amount of each payment of principal and
interest received by Lender, the principal balance of this Note, and the date to
which interest has been paid.  In the absence of evidence established
by Borrower to the contrary or manifest error, all such notations shall be
conclusively presumed to be accurate.

     

    Unenforceability
of any provision or any application of any provision of this Note in any
jurisdiction shall not affect the enforceability of such provision or such
application in any other jurisdiction or of any other provision or any other
application of any provision of this Note.

     

    Borrower
acknowledges and agrees that the Borrower shall be personally liable, on a joint
and several basis, for any and all of the obligations arising under this
Note.  No person or entity shall be a mere accommoda­tion maker,
but each shall be primarily and directly liable hereunder.

     

    Any
notice, demand, request, consent, approval and other communication which either
party hereto may be required or may desire to give hereunder shall be governed
by Section 10.8 of the Loan Agreement.

     

    BORROWER
AND LENDER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT THAT
THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION ARISING IN ANY WAY IN
CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR OTHER RELATED
DOCUMENTS, OR ANY OTHER STATEMENTS OR ACTIONS OF BORROWER OR
LENDER.   EACH OF BORROWER AND LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS
BEEN REPRESENTED IN THE NEGOTIATION AND SIGNING OF THIS NOTE AND IN THE MAKING
OF THIS WAIVER BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL SELECTED OF ITS OWN FREE WILL, AND
THAT IT HAS DISCUSSED THIS WAIVER WITH SUCH LEGAL COUNSEL.  EACH OF
BORROWER AND LENDER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) IT HAS READ AND UNDERSTANDS
THE MEANING AND RAMIFICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (ii) THIS WAIVER HAS BEEN REVIEWED
BY IT AND ITS COUNSEL AND IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE OTHER PARTY(IES)
HERETO TO ENTER INTO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR OTHER RELATED DOCUMENTS, AND (iii)
THIS WAIVER SHALL BE EFFECTIVE AS TO EACH OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND OTHER
RELATED DOCUMENTS AS IF FULLY INCORPORATED THEREIN.
