                                 LOAN AGREEMENT

            THIS LOAN AGREEMENT ("AGREEMENT") is made as of December 31, 2004,
by and between AHC PURCHASER HOLDING II, INC., a Delaware corporation
("BORROWER"), and MERRILL LYNCH CAPITAL, a Division of Merrill Lynch Business
Financial Services Inc., a Delaware corporation (collectively, with its
successors and assigns, "LENDER").

                                    RECITALS

            A. Borrower is the sole shareholder of AHC Purchaser Holding, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation ("HOLDING"). Holding is the sole shareholder of AHC
Purchaser, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("OWNER"). Owner is or on the closing
date will be the owner in fee simple of the land described on Exhibits A-1
through A-21, respectively (the "LAND"). Each described parcel of Land contains
improvements generally consisting of (i) an assisted living facility containing
approximately the number of beds/units described on Exhibits A-1 through A-21
(collectively, the "IMPROVEMENTS").

            B. Borrower has applied to Lender for a loan in the amount of up to
TEN MILLION and NO/100THS DOLLARS ($10,000,000.00) (the "LOAN") to allow Owner
to refinance the Projects, and Lender is willing to make the Loan on the terms
and conditions hereinafter set forth. The Loan is evidenced by that certain
Promissory Note of even date herewith made by Borrower in the original principal
amount of TEN MILLION and NO/100THS DOLLARS ($10,000,000.00) and payable to
Lender (the Promissory Note and all amendments thereto and substitutions
therefor are hereinafter referred to collectively as the "NOTE"). The terms and
provisions of the Note are hereby incorporated by reference, in this Agreement.

            C. Borrower's obligations under the Loan will be secured by, among
other items, (i) a first priority collateral assignment of the issued and
outstanding stock of Borrower of even date herewith (the "ASSIGNMENT"), and (ii)
a guaranty (the "GUARANTY") from Guarantor.

            D. This Agreement, the Note, the Assignment, the Guaranty and any
other documents evidencing or securing the Loan or executed in connection
therewith, and any modifications, renewals and extensions thereof, are referred
to herein collectively as the "LOAN DOCUMENTS."

            NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual
covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

                                   ARTICLE I
                INCORPORATION OF RECITALS, EXHIBITS AND SCHEDULES

            SECTION 1.1 INCORPORATION OF RECITALS.

            SECTION 1.3 DEFINITIONAL PROVISIONS.

            All terms defined in Schedule I of this Agreement or otherwise in
this Agreement shall, unless otherwise defined therein, have the same meanings
when used in the Note, Assignment, any other Loan Documents, or any certificate
or other document made or delivered pursuant hereto. The words "hereof",
"herein" and "hereunder" and words of similar import when used in this Agreement
shall refer to this Agreement. The word "include(s)" when used in this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents means "include(s), without limitation," and the

                                   ARTICLE II
                             LOAN AND LOAN DOCUMENTS

            SECTION 2.1 CONDITIONS PRECEDENT.

            (a) Borrower agrees that Lender's obligation to close the Loan is
conditioned upon Borrower's delivery, performance and satisfaction, in Lender's
sole discretion, of all items set forth (i) in that certain term sheet dated
August 29, 2004 and accepted by Alterra Healthcare Corporation (the "TERM
SHEET") and (ii) on that certain Closing Checklist issued with respect to such
Term Sheet.

            (b) As a condition to the Closing, Owner shall have obtained the
Senior Loan in the principal amount of $62,500,000.00 from Merrill Lynch
Capital, a Division of Merrill Lynch Business Financial Services, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (in such capacity, "SENIOR LENDER"). Lender has received

the "SENIOR LOAN DOCUMENTS").

            SECTION 2.2 LOAN DOCUMENTS.

            Borrower agrees that it will, on or before the Closing Date, execute
and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered to Lender this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents in form and substance acceptable to Lender. In

certificates as Lender and its counsel may reasonably require, including such
documents as Lender in its sole discretion deems necessary or

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

appropriate to effectuate the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, and to comply with the laws of the state of Illinois.
Furthermore, Borrower acknowledges that it is obligated to cause its counsel,
and counsel for Guarantor to issue a legal opinion (in form reasonably
satisfactory to Lender) for the benefit of Lender.

            SECTION 2.3 DISBURSEMENTS.

            (a) Subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, on the Closing Date, Borrower agrees to
borrow from Lender and Lender shall disburse to Borrower from the proceeds of
the Loan the sum of Ten Million and No/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00) (the
"FUNDING AMOUNT").

            SECTION 2.4 TERM OF THE LOAN.

            (a) Unless due and payable sooner pursuant to Section 2.7 or Article
8, all principal, interest and other sums due under the Loan Documents shall be
due and payable in full on December 31, 2007 (the "INITIAL MATURITY DATE"),
provided that Borrower shall have the right to extend the Maturity Date (the
"EXTENSION OPTION") for two additional twelve (12) month terms (each such twelve
(12) month period is hereinafter referred to as an "EXTENSION TERM"), thereby
extending the Maturity Date to the twelve (12) or twenty-four (24) month
anniversary of the Initial Maturity Date (each, an "EXTENDED MATURITY DATE").

            (b) Borrower may only exercise an Extension Option upon satisfying
the following conditions:

                  (i) Borrower shall have delivered to Lender written notice of
            such election no earlier than ninety (90) days and no later than
            forty-five (45) days prior to the Initial Maturity Date or the first
            Extended Maturity Date, as applicable;

                  (ii) Lender shall have received Borrower's and Alterra's
            current financial statements, certified as correct by Borrower and
            Alterra, as applicable. There must be no Material Adverse Change in
            Borrower's, Owner's, Holding's, Guarantor's, Manager's or Master
            Tenant's financial condition or with respect to any Project;

                  (iii) Such notice is accompanied by a non-refundable extension
            fee equal to $100,000;

                  (iv) No Default exists and no monetary Default or other
            material Default has previously occurred under the Loan Documents or
            under the Senior Loan Documents;

                  (v) The maturity date of the Senior Loan has been (or will be,
            concurrently with the extension of the Loan) extended to the
            proposed Extended Maturity Date;

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

                  (vi) Project Yield must be equal to or greater than thirteen
            percent (13%); and

                  (vii) The Debt Service Coverage Ratio is not less than
            1.30:1.00 based on the lesser of the trailing twelve (12) or
            trailing three (3) months ending one month prior to the then
            scheduled Maturity Date.

            SECTION 2.5 PREPAYMENTS.

            The Loan may not be voluntarily prepaid in full or in part prior to
July 1, 2006 (the "LOCKOUT PERIOD"). Thereafter, Borrower shall have the right
to make prepayments of the Loan, in whole, but not in part, at any time provided
Borrower (a) gives Lender at least seven (7) days' prior written notice, (b)
pays all accrued and unpaid interest, (c) pays the Exit Fee due hereunder, and
(d) pays all other fees and costs due from Borrower to Lender including any
attorneys' fees and disbursements incurred by Lender as a result of the
prepayment. In the event Lender declares the Loan immediately due and payable at
a time when an Exit Fee would be due, or during the Lockout Period, such Exit
Fee shall be paid upon any tender of payment at any time or upon acceleration of
the Loan or foreclosure of the Assignment. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the
contrary, Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Loan in full, but not in
part, during the Lockout Period provided that such prepayment occurs solely in
connection with a Transfer (other than a Permitted Transfer) to which Lender has
refused to consent (a "LOCKOUT TRANSFER"), and upon payment to Lender of the
Exit Fee.

            Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, in no event
whatsoever may Borrower prepay the Loan unless the Senior Loan and all other
amounts payable under the Senior Loan Documents (including any exit fee) are
paid in full concurrently therewith.

            SECTION 2.6 INTEREST.

            Provided that no Event of Default exists, the principal amount of
the Loan outstanding from time to time shall bear interest until paid at a
floating rate per annum equal to nine and one-half percent (9.5%) plus the Base
Rate (the aggregate rate referred to as the "INTEREST RATE"). Interest shall be
calculated based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year and charged for the
actual number of days elapsed.

            SECTION 2.7 MONTHLY PAYMENTS.

            Commencing on February 1, 2005, Borrower shall pay (a) interest
computed on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan at the Interest Rate
monthly in arrears, plus (b) a monthly principal amortization payment in the
amount set forth on Schedule II attached hereto on the first (1st) day of each
month.

            Commencing on January 1, 2008 and continuing on the first day of
each month thereafter until all amounts due under the Loan Documents are repaid,
if Project Yield for any calendar month (measured on a trailing six month basis)
is less than fourteen percent

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

(14.0%), then in addition to any payments due as described elsewhere in this
Section 2.7, Borrower shall make monthly payments to Lender in an amount equal
to Junior Lender's Percentage of Excess Cash Flow. Provided, however, that if
Project Yield (measured on a trailing six month basis) for any calendar month is
equal to or greater than fourteen percent (14%), then payments of Excess Cash
Flow shall be suspended with respect to such month. All payments of Excess Cash
Flow shall be applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Loan.
Payment of Junior Lender's Percentage of Excess Cash Flow due the first (1st)
day of a month shall be an amount equal to Junior Lender's Percentage of Excess
Cash Flow for the month which is two months in arrears (for example, on June
1st, a monthly payment equal to the Junior Lender's Percentage of Excess Cash
Flow for the month of April shall be due).

            Monthly payments of interest, amortization and, if applicable,
Excess Cash Flow due to Lender as described in this Section 2.7 shall be paid to
Lender by Automated Clearing House debit of immediately available funds from the
financial institution account designated by Borrower in the Automated Clearing

existing. Borrower shall cause Owner and each Master Tenant and Manager to
cooperate to provide to Lender such information as is described in this Section

            SECTION 3.2 FINANCIAL INFORMATION FORM AND EXAMINATION.

            All financial statements to be provided to Lender as described
herein shall be in a format approved in writing by Lender in Lender's reasonable
discretion, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles prepared
on a consistent basis (and with respect to annual financial statements of

accountant reasonably acceptable to Lender), which fairly present the financial
condition(s) as of the date(s) indicated. Each financial statement shall be
certified as true, complete and correct by its preparer and by Borrower or, in
the case of each of Alterra's financial statements, by Alterra. Borrower shall,
and shall cause Owner, Alterra and each other Master Tenant to provide such
additional financial information as Lender reasonably requires. Borrower shall,
and shall cause Owner, Holding and each Master Tenant (as it pertains to the
Projects) to during regular business hours permit or cause to permit Lender or

financial information or computation submitted by Borrower, Holding, Master
Tenant or Guarantor equal to or greater than the greater of: (A) five percent
(5%); or (B) (1) if at a Project level, $5,000.00; or (2) if at the Borrower or
Owner level, an amount equal to $5,000.00 times the number of Projects; or (3)
if at the Guarantor level, $400,000.00, (ii) such inspection is done as the
result of a failure to provide Lender with the financial statements and
reporting required herein. Borrower shall within ten (10) days after Lender's
request, furnish Lender with a written statement, duly acknowledged, setting
forth the sums according to Borrower's books and records owed by Borrower under
the Loan Documents and any right of set-off, counterclaim or other defense that
exists against such sums and Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents.

                         OPERATIONAL AND OTHER COVENANTS

            SECTION 4.1 LEASING AND OPERATIONAL COVENANTS.

            (a) Leasing Restrictions. Without the prior written consent of

non-residential Leases, (ii) modify the form of Lease previously approved by
Lender, (iii) modify, amend or terminate any non-residential Lease, (iv) accept
any rental payment in advance of its due date or (v) enter into any ground lease
of any Project; provided, however, that clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section
4.1(a) shall not apply to subleases of space at a Project for use as a beauty
salon, barbershop, commissary, concessions or other services in the ordinary
course of business which can be terminated by Owner or Master Tenant on 30 days'
notice without extra fee or penalty and are for a maximum of 500 square feet
("SERVICES SUBLEASES"). Borrower shall cause Lender to be provided with a copy
of all non-residential Leases, other than Services Subleases, no less than ten
(10) days prior to execution of such Leases by Owner or Master Tenant, and such
Leases shall be on the form of lease previously approved by Lender (if such form
lease does not already contain such a provision, Borrower shall cause an
automatic attornment provision to be added to such form lease whereby in the
event of a foreclosure, the tenant automatically shall recognize the successor
owner as landlord and such tenant shall have no right to terminate its lease in
the event of such foreclosure). If Lender consents to any new non-residential
Lease or the modification or renewal of any existing non-residential Lease (or
if Owner or Master Tenant enters into or modifies a non-residential Lease that
does not require Lender's prior consent thereto), at Lender's request, Borrower
shall or shall cause Owner or Master Tenant to cause the Tenant thereunder to
execute a subordination and attornment agreement in form and substance
satisfactory to Lender. Borrower shall and shall cause Owner or Master Tenant to
provide Lender with a copy of the fully executed original of all non-residential
Leases, other than Services Subleases, promptly following their execution.
Borrower will not permit Master Tenant or Owner to enter into any residential
Leases for a term of more than one (1) year and all such residential Leases
shall be at market rates on the form previously approved by Lender without
material modification. Upon request from time to time, Borrower shall deliver to
Lender copies of all Services Subleases.

            (b) Defaults Under Leases. Borrower will not suffer or permit any
breach or default to occur in any of Owner's or Master Tenant's obligations
under any of the Leases (including the Master Leases) nor suffer or permit the
same to terminate by reason of any failure of Owner or Master Tenant to meet any
requirement of any Lease (including any Master Lease). Borrower shall notify
Lender promptly in writing in the event a non-residential Tenant commits a
material default under a Lease, other than Services Subleases, or in the event
that Master Tenant commits a default under any Master Lease.

            (c) Management Contracts. Borrower, shall not change or permit the
change of the manager of any NY Project currently subject to a Management
Agreement or enter into, modify, amend, terminate or cancel (or permit such
action with respect to) any

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

Management Agreement for any Project or agreements with lenders or brokers,

applicable regulatory requirements.

            Master Tenant (with respect to a Project), Guarantor (with respect
            to a Project), or a Project received by Borrower, Owner, Holding, a
            Manager, a Master Tenant or Guarantor from Borrower, Owner, Holding,
            a Manager, a Master Tenant, a Tenant, Guarantor, any Governmental
            Authority or insurance company within seven (7) days after such
            notice is received, other than survey reports or other survey
            deficiency notices from any Governmental Authority, notice of which
            shall be provided to Lender as set forth in clause (iii) below, and
            other than the matters referenced in clause (ii) below (as to which
            clause (ii) shall control).

                  (ii) Borrower shall promptly provide Lender with (or cause
            Lender to be promptly provided with) written notice of any
            litigation, arbitration, or other proceeding or governmental
            investigation (including as a result of any survey results or
            inspection reports from any Governmental Authority) pending, or to

            Borrower, a Master Tenant, a Manager, Guarantor, Holding or Owner,
            or any Project; provided, that with respect to any such litigation,
            arbitration or other proceeding relating solely to (A) a monetary
            claim for specified damages of less than $250,000 in aggregate
            arising out of all related claims, or (B) a monetary claim for
            unspecified damages other than a claim relating to wrongful death or
            patient/resident abuse, each of which claim for such specified or
            unspecified damages is covered in its entirety by insurance (and as
            to which the insurance carrier has not tendered a defense to
            coverage), Borrower shall not be required to provide notice (written
            or otherwise) of such claim.

                  (iii) Borrower shall deliver to Lender (or cause to be
            delivered to Lender) (i) within (30) days after the end of each
            calendar quarter, a Detail Survey Report for each Project in the
            form provided to Lender on or prior to the date hereof generated by
            the survey tracking system employed by a Master Tenant or Manager,

            new admissions at any Project, (c) notice of the reduction in the
            licensure category at any Project to a provisional or probationary

            receipt by Borrower, Owner, a Master Tenant or a Manager a copy of
            each notice of termination under any license or permit necessary for
            the operation of the Project substantially as it operates on the
            date hereof; and in the case of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii),
            promptly provide such further information as Lender may request with
            respect to the matters reported pursuant to such clauses.
            Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 4.1(a) to the
            contrary, Borrower shall in all cases deliver (or cause to be
            delivered) written notice of any Reportable Event to Lender within
            ten (10) Business Days (or within thirty (30) calendar days in the

            such Reportable Event to any Project or to any regional director or

            Owner, each Manager and Master Tenant to, promptly provide such
            other information as to the regulatory and legal compliance of each
            of the Projects as Lender may reasonably request from time to time
            and which such Person is legally able to provide.

                  (iv) Borrower shall promptly provide Lender with prior written

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

            (a) Loan Closing. All conditions precedent to the closing of the
Loan shall be complied with on or prior to the Closing Date. If such conditions
are not complied with as of the Closing Date, Lender may terminate Lender's
obligation to fund the Loan by written notice to Borrower.

            (b) Prohibition of Assignments and Transfers by Borrower.

                  (i) Generally. Borrower shall not assign or attempt to assign
            its rights under this Agreement and any purported assignment shall
            be void. Without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent
            may be withheld in Lender's sole discretion, Borrower shall not
            suffer or permit (a) the termination of any existing Management
            Agreement or Master Lease or any change in the Owner, Manager or
            Master Tenant thereunder with respect to any Project, or (b) any
            Transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Permitted Transfers shall
            be permitted with ten (10) days prior written notice to Lender. In
            addition, if Alterra fails to continue to Control (i) the day to day
            management and operation of Owner's, Holding's and Borrower's
            business' and (ii) all material business decisions (including a sale
            or refinance) for Owner, Holding and Borrower during the term of the
            Loan, then Lender may, at Lender's option, declare the Loan to be
            immediately due and payable, and Lender may invoke any remedies
            permitted by the Loan Documents.

                  (ii) Transfers Prohibited by ERISA. In addition to the
            prohibitions set forth in Section 4.2(b)(i), above, Borrower shall
            not engage in or permit a Transfer that would constitute or result
            in the occurrence of one or more non-exempt prohibited transactions
            under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code. Borrower agrees to unwind
            any such Transfer upon notice from Lender or, at Lender's option, to
            assist Lender in obtaining such prohibited transaction exemption(s)
            from the United States Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration
            with respect to such Transfer as are necessary to remedy such
            prohibited transactions. In addition to its general obligation to
            indemnify Lender under Section 4.2(k), Borrower shall reimburse
            Lender for any Expenses incurred by Lender to obtain any such
            prohibited transaction exemptions. Borrower's obligations under this
            Section 4.2(b)(ii) shall survive the expiration of this Agreement
            and the other Loan Documents.

            (c) Mechanics' Liens and Contest Thereof. Borrower will not suffer
or permit any mechanics' lien claims to be filed or otherwise asserted against
any Project and will promptly discharge the same in case of the filing of any
claims for lien or proceedings for the enforcement thereof, provided, however,
that Owner shall have the right to contest in good faith and with reasonable
diligence the validity of any such lien or claim provided that Borrower notify
Lender of Owner's desire to do so in writing and posts a statutory lien bond
that removes such lien from title to the applicable Project within twenty (20)
days of the earlier of written notice by Borrower to Lender of the existence of
such lien or written notice by Lender to Borrower of the existence of the lien.
Lender will not be required to make any

                                      -12-
<PAGE>

further disbursements of the proceeds of the Loan until any mechanics' lien
claims have been removed and Lender may, at its option, restrict disbursements
to reserve sufficient sums to pay 150% of all such lien claims. In the event
Borrower or Owner shall fail to discharge any such lien or fail to prosecute
such contest as set forth above, Lender may, at its election in its sole
discretion, cause such lien to be satisfied and released or otherwise provide
security to the Title Insurer to indemnify over such lien, and any amounts so
expended by Lender, including premiums paid or security furnished in connection
with the issuance of any surety company bonds, shall be deemed to constitute
disbursement of the proceeds of the Loan hereunder owing to Lender by Borrower.
In settling, compromising or discharging any claims for lien, Lender shall not
be required to inquire into the validity or amount of any such claim.

            (d) Renewal of Insurance. Borrower shall cause Owner to timely pay (
or cause to be paid) all premiums on all insurance policies to assure that at
all times Owner and each Master Tenant and Manager have in effect insurance as
required pursuant to the Senior Loan Documents and as otherwise required by the
Insurance Requirements attached hereto as Exhibit E, and as and when additional
insurance is required, from time to time, and as and when any policies of
insurance may expire, furnish ( or cause to be furnished) to Lender, premiums
prepaid, additional and renewal insurance policies with companies, coverage and
in amounts reasonably satisfactory to Lender based on customary practices of
assisted living operators comparable to Alterra. Borrower shall not, and shall
not permit Owner to, bring or keep, or permit to be brought or kept, any article
on any Project or cause or allow any condition to exist on it, if that could
invalidate or would be prohibited by any insurance coverage required to be
maintained by Borrower or Owner and each Master Tenant and Manager on the
Projects. Unless Borrower provides Lender with appropriate evidence of the
insurance coverage required by this Agreement, Lender may purchase insurance at
Borrower's expense to protect Lender's interests in the Projects and to maintain
the insurance required by this Agreement. This insurance may, but need not,
protect Borrower's, Owner's or any Master Tenant's or Manager's interests. The
coverage purchased by Lender may not pay any claim made by Borrower, Owner or
any Master Tenant or Manager or any claim that is made against Borrower, Owner
or any Master Tenant or Manager in connection with the Projects or any required
insurance policy. Borrower may later cancel any insurance purchased by Lender,
but only after providing Lender with appropriate evidence that Borrower or Owner
and each Master Tenant and Manager have obtained insurance as required by this
Agreement. If Lender purchases insurance for any Project or insurance otherwise
required by this Agreement, Borrower will be responsible for the costs of that
insurance and other charges imposed by Lender in connection with the placement
of the insurance until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of
the insurance. The costs of the insurance may be added to the Indebtedness
effective as of the date Lender purchases such insurance and such costs may be
more than the cost of insurance Borrower or Owner or any Master Tenant or
Manager is able to obtain on its own. The effective date of coverage may be the
date the prior coverage lapsed or the date on which Borrower failed to provide
Lender proof of coverage.

            (e) Payment of Taxes. Borrower shall, subject to the terms of
Section 4.2(f) of the Senior Loan Agreement, pay, or cause Owner to pay, all
real estate taxes and assessments and charges of every kind upon the Projects
before the same become delinquent, provided, however, that Borrower or Owner
shall have the right to pay such tax under protest or to otherwise contest any
such tax or assessment, but only if (i) such contest has the effect of
preventing the collection of such taxes so contested and also of preventing the
sale or forfeiture of any Project or any part thereof or any interest therein,
(ii) Borrower has notified Lender of Borrower's or Owner's intent to contest
such taxes, and (iii) Borrower has deposited security with Senior Lender or
Lender in form and amount satisfactory to Lender, in its sole discretion, and
has increased the amount of such security so deposited promptly after Lender's
request therefor (in the event the Senior Loan Documents require the posting of
such security, such security shall be deposited with Senior Lender in form and
amount acceptable to Senior Lender). If Borrower or Owner fails to commence such
contest or, having commenced to contest the same, and Borrower or Owner having
deposited such security required by Lender for its full amount, shall thereafter
fail to prosecute such contest in good faith or with due diligence, or, upon
adverse conclusion of any such contest, shall fail to pay such tax, assessment
or charge, Lender may, at its election (but shall not be required to), pay and
discharge any such tax, assessment or charge, and any interest or penalty
thereon, and any amounts so expended by Lender shall be deemed to constitute
disbursements of the Loan proceeds hereunder (even if the total amount of
disbursements would exceed the face amount of the Note). Borrower shall, unless
Lender has paid such taxes directly or on Borrower's behalf, furnish to Lender
evidence that taxes are paid at least five business (5) days prior to the last
date for payment of such taxes and before imposition of any penalty or accrual
of interest.

            (f) Reserved.

            (g) Personal Property. All of Owner's and each Master Tenant's
personal property, fixtures, attachments and equipment delivered upon, attached
to, used or required to be used in connection with the operation of a Project
(collectively, the "PERSONAL PROPERTY") shall always be located at such Project
and shall be kept free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and security
interests, except for the Senior Loan Documents and the liens created thereby
and equipment Leases and vehicle Leases aggregating not more than $50,000 in
capital amounts for each Project ("PERMITTED EQUIPMENT LEASES"). Borrower shall
not (nor shall it permit Owner, Holding, Manager, Master Tenant or any Tenant
to), without the prior written consent of Lender, sell, assign, transfer,
encumber, remove or permit to be removed from any Project any of the Personal
Property. So long as no Event of Default exists, Borrower may, and may permit
Owner or a Master Tenant to, sell or otherwise dispose of its Personal Property
when obsolete, worn out, inadequate, unserviceable or unnecessary for use in the
operation of a Project, but only upon replacing the same with other Personal
Property at least equal in value and utility to the Personal Property that is
disposed.

            (h) Appraisals. Lender shall have the right to obtain a new or
updated Appraisal of the Projects from time to time. Borrower shall (and shall
cause Owner to)

                                      -14-
<PAGE>

cooperate with Lender in this regard. If the Appraisal is obtained to comply
with this Agreement or any applicable law or regulatory requirement, or bank
policy promulgated to comply therewith, or if an Event of Default exists,
Borrower shall pay for any such Appraisal upon Lender's request.

            (i) Loss of Note or other Loan Documents. Upon notice from Lender of
the loss, theft, or destruction of the Note and upon receipt of an affidavit of
lost note and an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to Borrower from Lender, or
in the case of mutilation of the Note, upon surrender of the mutilated Note,
Borrower shall make and deliver a new note of like tenor in lieu of the then to
be superseded Note. If any of the other Loan Documents were lost or mutilated,
Borrower agrees to execute and deliver replacement Loan Documents in the same
form of such Loan Document(s) that were lost or mutilated.

            (j) Publicity. Lender reserves the right to publicize the making of
the Loan and, in such publicity, may include a brief description of the Projects
and the Loan.

            (k) Indemnification. Borrower shall indemnify Lender, including each
party owning an interest in the Loan and their respective successors, assigns,
officers, directors, employees and consultants (each, an "INDEMNIFIED PARTY")
and defend and hold each Indemnified Party harmless from and against all claims,
injury, damage, liability, criminal and civil penalties, excise taxes and
Expenses of any and every kind to any persons or property by reason of (i) the
operation or maintenance of the Projects; (ii) any breach of representation or
warranty, default or Event of Default hereunder or under any of the other Loan
Documents or the Senior Loan Documents; or (iii) any claims or suits brought by
any Tenant; or (iv) any other matter arising in connection with the Loan,
Borrower, Owner, Holding, Manager, Guarantor, any Lease (including any Master
Lease) any Tenant (including any Master Tenant) or any Project. No Indemnified
Party shall be entitled to be indemnified against its own gross negligence or
willful misconduct. Upon written request by an Indemnified Party, Borrower will
undertake, at its own costs and expense, on behalf of such Indemnified Party,
using counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, the defense of
any legal action or proceeding whether or not such Indemnified Party shall be a
party and for which such Indemnified Party is entitled to be indemnified
pursuant to this section. At Lender's option, Lender may, at Borrower's expense,
prosecute or defend any action involving the priority, validity or
enforceability of any of the Loan Documents.

            (l) No Additional Debt or Encumbrances. Except for the Loan,
Borrower shall not incur and shall not permit Owner, Holding, Master Tenant or
Manager (with respect to the Projects) to incur any indebtedness (whether
personal or nonrecourse, secured or unsecured) including without limitation, for
borrowed money, liabilities under guaranties, or reimbursement obligations or as
lessee under capital or operating leases other than Permitted Equipment Leases
and as permitted by the Guaranty. Capital or operating leases of any items of
Personal Property shall be deemed to be additional indebtedness for borrowed
money and, except for Permitted Equipment Leases, shall require Lender's prior
written consent. Borrower shall not permit there to be any other encumbrances
against any Project. Borrower shall not default, and shall not permit Owner to
default, on the payment of any

                                      -15-
<PAGE>

indebtedness that is not cured within the time, if any, specified therefor in
any agreement governing the same.

            (m) Organizational Documents. Borrower shall not, and shall not
permit Owner, Holding or Master Tenant to, without the prior written consent of
Lender, permit or suffer (i) a material amendment or modification of its or such
entity's Organizational Documents or the organizational documents of any
constituent entity within Borrower, Holding, Owner or Master Tenant, (ii) the
admission of any new member, partner or shareholder to Borrower, Holding or
Owner, (iii) any dissolution or termination of the existence of Borrower,
Holding or Owner, or (iv) change in its or Owner's state of formation or
incorporation or its, Holding or Owner's name.

            (n) Single Purpose Entity. Each of Borrower and Holding is and at
all times shall remain a Single Purpose Entity until after the Indebtedness has
been repaid in full.

            (o) Furnishing Reports. Upon Lender's request, and subject to the
provisions of Section 4.1(d), Borrower shall promptly provide Lender with copies
of all material inspections, reports, test results and other information
received by Borrower, Owner, Holding, any Master Tenant or any Manager which in
any way relate to a Project or any part thereof. Without limiting the preceding
sentence, but subject to the provisions of Section 4.1(d), Borrower shall
promptly provide Lender with copies of all of the foregoing received from any
Governmental Agency.

            (p) Affiliate Transactions. Prior to entering into any agreement
with an Affiliate pertaining to any Project, Borrower, Holding and Owner shall
deliver to Lender a copy of such agreement, which shall be satisfactory to
Lender in its sole discretion. If requested by Lender, such agreement shall
provide Lender the right to terminate it upon Lender's (or its designee's)
acquisition of the ownership interests in Borrower through a UCC sale or
otherwise.

            (q) Employees. None of Borrower, Holding nor Owner has any
employees, nor will have any employees until after the Indebtedness has been
repaid in full.

            (r) Compliance With Anti-Terrorism Orders. Borrower will not permit
the transfer of any interest in Borrower, Holding or Owner to any person or
entity (or any beneficial owner of such entity) who is listed on the specially
Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List maintained by the Office of
Foreign Asset Control, Department of the Treasury pursuant to Executive Order
No. 13224, 66 Fed. Reg. 49079 (Sept. 25, 2001) and/or any other list of
terrorists or terrorist organizations maintained pursuant to any of the rules
and regulations of the Office of Foreign Asset Control, Department of the
Treasury or pursuant to any other applicable Executive Orders (such lists are
collectively referred to as the "OFAC LISTS"). Borrower will not permit Owner to
knowingly enter into a Lease with any party who is listed on the OFAC Lists.
Borrower shall immediately notify Lender if Borrower has knowledge that Owner,
Holding, Master Tenant or Guarantor or any member or beneficial owner of
Borrower, Owner, Holding, Master Tenant or Guarantor is listed on

                                      -16-
<PAGE>

the OFAC Lists or (A) is indicted on or (B) arraigned and held over on charges
involving money laundering or predicate crimes to money laundering. Borrower
shall immediately notify Lender if Borrower knows that any Tenant is listed on
the OFAC Lists or (A) is convicted on, (B) pleads nolo contendere to, (C) is
indicted on or (D) is arraigned and held over on charges involving money
laundering or predicate crimes to money laundering.

            (s) Notice of Change. Borrower shall give Lender prior written
notice of any change in: (i) the location of its place of business or its chief
executive office if it has more than one place of business; (ii) the location of
any of the Personal Property, including Borrower's, Holding's or Owner's books
and records; and (iii) Borrower's, Holding's or Owner's name or business
structure. Unless otherwise approved by Lender in writing, all Personal Property
(other than the books and records) will be located at the Projects and all books
and records will be located at Borrower's Holding's or Owner's place of business
or chief executive office if Borrower has more than one place of business.

            (t) No Use of Merrill Lynch Name. Borrower shall not directly or
indirectly publish, disclose or otherwise use in any advertising or promotional
material, or press release or interview, the name, logo or any trademark of
Lender, Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. or any of their affiliates.

            (u) Bank Accounts. Borrower will maintain one or more separate bank
accounts in its own name, and will cause Owner to maintain sufficient liquidity
in order to satisfy the working capital needs of the Projects.

            (v) Financial Covenants.

                  (i) The Debt Service Coverage Ratio at the end of any calendar
            month (measured on a combined trailing three month basis) shall be
            equal to or greater than 1.30:1.00.

                  (ii) The Project Yield at the end of any calendar month
            (measured on a combined trailing three month basis) shall be equal
            to or greater than (i) 10.25% at all times during the first Loan
            Year, (ii) 11.0% at all times during the second Loan Year, (iii)
            12.0% at all times during the third Loan Year, and (iv) 13.0% at all
            time during the fourth or fifth Loan Years and thereafter.

            SECTION 4.3 AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE.

            Borrower hereby appoints Kristin Ferge as its "AUTHORIZED
REPRESENTATIVE" for purposes of dealing with Lender on behalf of Borrower in
respect of any and all matters in connection with this Agreement, the other Loan
Documents, and the Loan. Subject to the terms of Section 4.2(b) above
(concerning transfers), the Authorized Representative shall have the power, in
his discretion, to give and receive all notices, monies, approvals, and other
documents and instruments, and to take any other action on behalf of Borrower.
All actions by the Authorized Representative shall be final and binding on
Borrower. Lender may rely on the authority given to the Authorized
Representative until actual receipt by Lender of a

                                      -17-
<PAGE>

duly authorized resolution substituting a different person as the Authorized
Representative whom Lender has previously approved. No more than one person
shall serve as Authorized Representative at any given time.

            SECTION 4.4 HEALTH CARE MATTERS.

            (a) Without limiting the generality of any other provision of this
Agreement, Borrower, Owner, Holding, each Master Tenant and Manager and their
employees and contractors (other than contracted agencies) in the exercise of
their duties on behalf of Borrower, Owner, Holding, and such Master Tenant or
Manager (with respect to their respective operation of the Projects) shall be in
compliance in all material respects with all applicable Laws relating to patient
healthcare and/or patient healthcare information, including without limitation
the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended, and
the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder ("HIPAA") (collectively,
"HEALTHCARE LAWS")). Borrower, Owner, Holding, and each Master Tenant and
Manager have maintained and shall continue to maintain in all material respects
all records required to be maintained by any Governmental Authority or otherwise
under the Healthcare Laws and there are no presently existing circumstances
which would result or likely would result in material violations of the
Healthcare Laws. Borrower, Owner, Holding, and each Master Tenant and Manager
have and will maintain all Governmental Approvals necessary under applicable
Laws to own and/or operate the Projects, as applicable (including such
Governmental Approvals as are required under such Healthcare Laws).

            (b) If (i) Borrower, Owner, Holding, or any Master Tenant or Manager
is a "covered entity" within the meaning of HIPAA or (ii) Borrower, Owner,
Holding, or any Master Tenant or Manager (with respect to its operation of the
Project) are subject to the "Administrative Simplification" provisions of HIPAA,
then Borrower, Owner, Holding, or such Master Tenant and/or Manager, as
applicable (x) have undertaken or will promptly undertake all necessary surveys,
audits, inventories, reviews, analyses and/or assessments (including any
necessary risk assessments) of all areas of its business and operations required
by HIPAA and/or that could be adversely affected by the failure of Borrower,
Owner, Holding, or any Master Tenant or Manager to be HIPAA Compliant (as
defined below); (y) have developed or will promptly develop a detailed plan and
time line for becoming HIPAA Compliant (a "HIPAA COMPLIANCE PLAN"); and (x) have
implemented or will implement those provisions of such HIPAA Compliance Plan in
all material respects necessary to ensure that Borrower, Owner, Holding, and
each Master Tenant or Manager, as applicable, are or become HIPAA Compliant. For
purposes hereof, "HIPAA COMPLIANT" shall mean that Borrower, Owner, Holding,
and/or each Master Tenant and Manager, as applicable (x) are or will be in
compliance with each of the applicable requirements of the so-called
"Administrative Simplification" provisions of HIPAA on and as of each date that
any part thereof, or any final rule or regulation thereunder, becomes effective
in accordance with its or their terms, as the case may be (each such date, a
"HIPAA COMPLIANCE DATE") and (y) are not and could not reasonably be expected to
become, as of any date following any such HIPAA Compliance Date, the subject of
any civil or criminal penalty, process, claim, action or proceeding, or any
administrative or other regulatory review, survey, process or

                                      -18-
<PAGE>

proceeding (other than routine surveys or reviews conducted by any government
health plan or other accreditation entity) that could result in any of the
foregoing or that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect Borrower's,
Owner's, Holding's, or any Master Tenant's or Manager's business, operations,
assets, properties or condition (financial or otherwise), in connection with any
actual or potential violation by Borrower, Owner, Holding, Master Tenant or
Manager of the then effective provisions of HIPAA.

            (c) If required under applicable Law, Borrower and/or Owner or a
Master Tenant has and shall maintain in full force and effect a valid
certificate of need ("CON") or similar certificate, license, or approval issued
by the State Regulator for the requisite number of beds and units in the
Projects, and a provider agreement or other required documentation of approved
provider status for each provider payment or reimbursement program listed in
Exhibit B hereto, if applicable. All required Government Approvals necessary for
operation of the Projects are listed on Exhibit C hereto (collectively, the
"LICENSES"). Borrower, Owner, Holding, and each Master Tenant and Manager shall
operate the Projects in a manner such that the Licenses shall remain in full
force and effect. True and complete copies of the Licenses have been delivered
to Lender.

            (d) The Licenses shall continue in full force and effect throughout
the term of the Loan and shall be free from restrictions or known conflicts
which would materially impair the use or operation of any Project for its
current use, and shall not be provisional, probationary or restricted in any way
; provided, however, Licenses with respect to no more than two Projects at any
one time may be subject to temporary restrictions or conditions (including being
put on probationary status), so long as it does not have a material adverse
effect on operation of the affected Project and, in any event, all such
restrictions and conditions are removed within ninety (90) days after the
imposition thereof.

            (e) None of Borrower, Owner, Holding, or any Master Tenant or
Manager shall do (or suffer to be done) any of the following:

                  (i) Rescind, withdraw, revoke, amend, modify, supplement, or
            otherwise alter the nature, tenor or scope of the Licenses for the
            Projects without Lender's consent;

                  (ii) Amend or otherwise change any Project's authorized
            units/beds capacity and/or the number of units/beds approved by the
            State Regulator;

                  (iii) Replace or transfer all or any part of any Project's
            units or beds to another site or location; or

                  (iv) Voluntarily transfer or encourage the transfer of any
            resident of any Project to any other facility, unless such transfer
            is at the request of the resident or is for reasons relating to the
            health, required level of medical care or safety of the resident to
            be transferred.

                                      -19-
<PAGE>

            (f) If and when Borrower, Owner, Holding or any Master Tenant or
Manager, in its sole discretion (subject to 4.4(g) below) participates in any
Medicare or Medicaid or other third party payor program with respect to any
Project, the Project will remain in compliance with all requirements for
participation in Medicare and Medicaid, including the Medicare and Medicaid
Patient Protection Act of 1987, as it may be amended, and such other third party
payor programs. Each Project is and will remain in conformance in all material
respects with all insurance, reimbursement and cost reporting requirements, and,
if applicable, have a current provider agreement that is in full force and
effect under Medicare and Medicaid.

            (g) There is no, and during the term of the Loan there shall be no,
threatened, existing or pending revocation, suspension, termination, probation,
restriction, limitation, or nonrenewal affecting Borrower, Owner, Holding or any
Master Tenant, Manager or any Project or any participation or provider agreement
with any third-party payor, including Medicare, Medicaid, Blue Cross and/or Blue
Shield, and any other private commercial insurance managed care and employee
assistance program (such programs, the "THIRD-PARTY PAYOR PROGRAMS") to which
Borrower, Owner, Holding or any Master Tenant or Manager may presently be
subject with respect to any Project, or at any time hereafter is subject. None
of Borrower, Owner, Holding or any Master Tenant or Manager, other than in the
normal course of business, shall change the terms of any of the Third-Party
Payor Programs now or hereinafter in effect or their normal billing payment or
reimbursement policies and procedures with respect thereto (including the amount
and timing of finance charges, fees and write-offs). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Borrower, Owner, Holding or any Master Tenant or Manager may
voluntarily withdraw from or terminate any Third-Party Payor Program to which
they may be subject to with respect to any Project. From and after the Closing
Date, none of Borrower, Owner, Holding or any Master Tenant or Manager shall,
without Lender's prior consent, enter into any new Third-Party Payor Programs
with respect to any Project if, as a result of such new Third-Party Payor
Program, twenty percent (20%) or more of the Revenue from such Project would be
derived from the payments under such Third-Party Payor Program, or five percent
(5%) or more of the aggregate Revenue of the Projects would be derived from
payments under all Third-Party Payor Programs. All Medicaid, Medicare and
private insurance cost reports and financial reports submitted by Borrower,
Owner, Holding or any Master Tenant or Manager with respect to a Project, if
any, are and will be materially accurate and complete and have not been and will
not be misleading in any material respects. No cost reports for any Project
remain open or unsettled.

            (h) None of Borrower, Owner, Holding, any Project or, to Borrower's
knowledge, any Master Tenant or Manager is or will be the subject of any
proceeding by any Governmental Authority with respect to a Project, and no
notice of any violation has been or will be issued by a Governmental Authority
that would, directly or indirectly, or with the passage of time:

                  (i) Have a material adverse impact on Borrower's, Owner's,
            Holding's, or any Master Tenant's or Manager's ability to accept
            and/or retain

                                      -20-
<PAGE>

            patients or residents or operate the Projects for their current use
            or result in the imposition of a fine or sanction in excess of
            $5,000.00, a lower rate certification or a lower reimbursement rate
            for services rendered to eligible patients or residents;

                  (ii) Modify, limit or annul or result in the transfer,
            suspension, revocation or imposition of probationary use (subject to
            Section 4.4(d) above) of any of the Licenses; or

                  (iii) If applicable, affect Borrower's, Owner's, Holding's, or
            any Master Tenant's or Manager's continued participation in the
            Medicaid or Medicare programs or any other of the Third-Party Payors
            Programs, or any successor programs thereto, at then current rate
            certifications.

            (i) No Project has received a "Class 1" (or equivalent) violation,
and no statement of charges or deficiencies has been made or penalty enforcement
action has been undertaken against any Project, Borrower, Owner, Holding, any
Master Tenant (with respect to the Projects) or any Manager (with respect to the
Projects) or against any officer, director, partner, member or stockholder of
Borrower, Owner, Holding, or any Master Tenant or Manager, by any Governmental
Authority during the last five calendar years, and there have been no violations
over the past five years which have threatened any Project's, or any Manager's,
Master Tenant's, Owner's, Holding's or Borrower's certification for
participation in Medicare or Medicaid or the other Third-Party Payor Programs.

            (j) There are no current, pending or outstanding Medicaid, Medicare
or Third-Party Payor Programs reimbursement audits or appeals pending at the
Projects, and there are no years that are subject to audit.

            (k) There are no current or pending Medicaid or Medicare or
Third-Party Payor Programs recoupment efforts at the Projects. None of Borrower,
Owner, Holding, or any Master Tenant or Manager is a participant in any federal
program whereby any Governmental Authority may have the right to recover funds
by reason of the advance of federal funds, including those authorized under the
Hill-Burton Act (42 U.S.C. 291, et seq.), as it may be amended.

            (l) There are no and there will remain no patient or resident care
agreements with patients or residents which deviate in any material adverse
respect from the form agreements which have been delivered to and approved by
Lender prior to closing.

            (m) In the event any Master Lease or Management Agreement is
terminated or in the event of foreclosure of the Assignment or other acquisition
of the Projects by Lender or its designee or any purchaser at a foreclosure
sale, Borrower, Owner, Holding, Lender, any subsequent lessee or manager or any
subsequent purchaser need not obtain a CON prior to applying for and receiving
Medicare or Medicaid payments.

                                      -21-

From time to time, upon the request of Lender during the continuance of an Event
of Default hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, Borrower shall, and
shall cause Owner, Holding, each Master Tenant or Manager, as applicable to
complete, execute and deliver to Lender any applications, notices,
documentation, and other information necessary or desirable, in Lender's
judgment, to permit Lender or its designee (including a receiver) to obtain,
maintain or renew any one or more of the Licenses for the Projects (or to become
the owner of the existing Licenses for the Projects) and to the extent permitted
by applicable Laws to obtain any other provider agreements or Governmental
Approvals then necessary or desirable for the operation of the Projects by
Lender or its designee for their current use (including, without limitation, any
applications for change of ownership of the existing Licenses or change of
control of the owner of the existing Licenses). To the extent permitted by
applicable Laws and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) Lender is
hereby authorized (without the consent of Borrower, Owner, Holding, or any
Master Tenant or Manager) to submit any such applications, notices,
documentation or other information which Borrower caused to be delivered to
Lender in accordance with the above provisions to the applicable Governmental
Authorities, or to take such other steps as Lender may deem advisable to obtain,
maintain or renew any License or other Governmental Approvals in connection with
the operation of the Projects for their current use, and Borrower agrees to
cooperate and to cause Owner, Holding, each Manager and Master Tenant to
cooperate with Lender in connection with the same and (ii) Borrower, upon demand
by Lender, shall take any action and cause Owner, Holding, each Manager and
Master Tenant to take any action necessary or desirable, in Lender's sole
judgment, to permit Lender or its designee (including a receiver) to use,
operate and maintain the Projects for their current use. If Borrower, Owner,
Holding or any Master Tenant or Manager, as applicable fails to comply with the
provisions of this subsection (n) for any reason whatsoever, such entity hereby
irrevocably appoints Lender and its designee as its attorney-in-fact, with full
power of substitution, to take any action and execute any documents and
instruments necessary or desirable in Lender's sole judgment to permit Lender or
its designee to undertake Borrower's or Owner's, Holding's or any Master
Tenant's or Manager's, as applicable, obligations under this subsection (n),
including obtaining any Licenses or Governmental Approvals then required for the
operation of the Projects by Lender or its designee for their current use. The
foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable and
Lender may exercise its rights thereunder in addition to any other remedies
which Lender may have against Borrower, Owner, Holding, any Master Tenant,
Manager or Guarantor as a result of Borrower's, Owner's, Holding's or any Master
Tenant's or Manager's breach of the obligations contained in this subsection
(n).

                    BORROWER'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

            SECTION 5.1 BORROWER'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

            To induce Lender to execute this Agreement and perform its
obligations hereunder, Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Lender as
follows:

                                      -22-
<PAGE>

            (a) Owner lawfully possesses and holds fee simple title to each
Project, free and clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances, covenants,
conditions and restrictions, security interest and claims of others, except only
the Permitted Exceptions. Each of Borrower and Holding is a Single Purpose
Entity.

            (b) Except as set forth in Exhibit D, there is no litigation or
proceedings pending, or to the best of Borrower's knowledge threatened, against
any Project, Borrower, Owner, Holding, Master Tenant (with respect to the
Projects), Manager (with respect to the Projects) or Guarantor (with respect to
the Projects), which could, if adversely determined, cause a Material Adverse
Change with respect to Borrower, Holding, Owner, or any Master Tenant, Manager
or Guarantor or any Project. There are no Environmental Proceedings and Borrower
has no knowledge of any threatened Environmental Proceedings with respect to the
Projects or any facts or circumstances which may give rise to any future
Environmental Proceedings with respect to the Projects.

            (c) Borrower is duly organized, validly existing corporation and in
good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware with its principal place
of business at 6737 W. Washington St., Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Borrower has full
power and authority to execute, deliver and perform all Loan Documents to which
Borrower is a party, and such execution, delivery and performance have been duly
authorized by all requisite action on the part of Borrower. The Loan Documents
have each been duly executed and delivered and each constitutes the duly
authorized, valid and legally binding obligation of Borrower and the Guarantor,
as the case may be, enforceable against Borrower and the Guarantor, as the case
may be, in accordance with their respective terms. Borrower does not use any
trade names other than its actual name set forth herein. Borrower has full
right, power and authority to execute the Loan Documents on its own behalf.

            (d) Owner is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware with its principal place
of business at 6737 W. Washington St., Milwaukee, Wisconsin and is authorized to
transact business in the States of New York, Florida, Pennsylvania, Kansas,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio and Texas. Holding is the sole shareholder of Owner
and owns one-hundred percent (100%) of the ownership interests in Owner free and
clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances and rights of others except for the
liens of Senior Lender pursuant to the Senior Loan Documents. Borrower is the
sole shareholder of Holding and owns one-hundred percent (100%) of the ownership
interests in Holding free and clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances and
rights of others except for the liens of Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents.
Holding is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the State of Delaware with its principal place of business at
6737 W. Washington St., Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

            (e) Guarantor is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and
in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware with its principal
place of business at 6737 W. Washington St., Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Guarantor
owns one-hundred percent (100%) of the ownership interests in Borrower, and
directly owns one-hundred percent (100%) of the

                                      -23-
<PAGE>

ownership interests in Alternative Living Services -- New York, Inc., in each
case free and clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances, and rights of others.
Guarantor has full right, power and authority to execute the Loan Documents on
its own behalf. Attached as Exhibit J is a true, complete and correct chart
showing the ownership structure of Borrower, Owner, Holding, each Master Tenant
and Guarantor.

            (f) A true and complete copy the articles of incorporation and
by-laws creating Borrower, Owner, Holding and Guarantor, and all other documents
creating and governing Borrower, Owner, Holding and Guarantor and any and all
amendments thereto (collectively, the "ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS") has been
furnished to Lender. There are no other agreements, oral or written, among any
of the shareholders of Borrower relating to Borrower, Owner, Holding or
Guarantor. The Organizational Documents were duly executed and delivered, are in
full force and effect, and binding upon and enforceable in accordance with their
terms. The Organizational Documents constitute the entire understanding among
the shareholders of Borrower, Owner, Holding and Guarantor. No breach exists
under the Organizational Documents and no act has occurred and no condition
exists which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time would constitute
a breach under the Organizational Documents.

            (g) No consent, approval or authorization of or declaration,
registration or filing with any Governmental Authority or nongovernmental person
or entity, including any creditor, partner, or member of Borrower, Owner,
Holding, any Master Tenant, any Manager or Guarantor, is required in connection
with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents other than the filing of UCC Financing Statements, except
for such consents, approvals or authorizations of or declarations or filings
with any Governmental Authority or non-governmental person or entity where the
failure to so obtain would not have an adverse effect on Borrower, Owner,
Holding, or any Manager, Master Tenant or Guarantor or which have been obtained
as of any date on which this representation is made or remade. None of the
Borrower, Owner, Holding, any Manager, any Master Tenant, nor Guarantor is
insolvent and there has been no: (i) assignment made for the benefit of the
creditors of any of them; (ii) appointment of a receiver for any of them or for
the property of any of them; or (iii) bankruptcy, reorganization, or liquidation
proceeding instituted by or against any of them, except as disclosed in writing
to Lender.

            (h) There is no default under the Senior Loan Documents, this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, nor any condition, which, after notice or
the passage of time or both, would constitute a default or an Event of Default
under, said documents. In addition, none of Borrower, Holding nor Owner is in
default under any contract, agreement or commitment to which it is a party. The
execution, delivery and compliance with the terms and provisions of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents will not (i) to the best of Borrower's
knowledge, violate any provisions of law or any applicable regulation, order or
other decree of any court or governmental entity, or (ii) conflict or be
inconsistent with, or result in any default under, any contract, agreement or
commitment to which Borrower, Holding or Owner is bound. Borrower has delivered
to Lender copies of any agreements (including Leases and the Management
Agreements) between Borrower and any Affiliate of

                                      -24-
<PAGE>

Borrower, Owner, Holding, Manager, Master Tenant, or Guarantor related in any
way to any Project and any other agreements or documents materially affecting
the use and operation of any Project.

            (i) To the best of Borrower's and Guarantor's knowledge, (1) no
condemnation of any portion of any Project, (2) no condemnation or relocation of
any roadways abutting any Project, and (3) no proceeding to deny access to any
Project from any point or planned point of access to any Project, has commenced
or is contemplated by any Governmental Authority.

            (j) The use of the Projects as assisted living facilities and the
contemplated accessory uses do not violate (i) any Laws (including subdivision,
zoning, building, environmental protection and wetland protection Laws), or (ii)
any building permits, covenants, conditions and restrictions of record, or
agreements affecting any Project or any part thereof. Except as shown on the
zoning reports obtained by Lender and the pro forma title policies in favor of
Lender, neither the zoning authorizations, subdivision approvals or variances
nor any other right to construct or to use any Project is to any extent
dependent upon or related to any real estate other than the Land. Except as
shown on the Surveys delivered to Lenders no building or other improvement
encroaches upon any property line, building line, set back line, side yard line
or any recorded or visible easement (or other easement of which Borrower is
aware or has reason to believe may exist) with respect to any Project. Except as
shown on the Surveys delivered to Lenders no Project is situated in an area
designated as having special flood hazards as defined by the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973, as amended, or as a wetland by any governmental entity
having jurisdiction over a Project. All Governmental Approvals required for the
operation of the Projects have been obtained. All Laws relating to the operation
of the Improvements have been complied with in all material respects and all
permits and licenses required for the operation of the Projects have been
obtained except Licenses with respect to the Projects described on Exhibits A-17
and A-20 for which applications are pending. Each Project is accessible through
fully improved and dedicated roads, accepted for maintenance and public use by
public authority having jurisdiction. Each Project has adequate water, gas and
electrical supply, storm and sanitary sewerage facilities, telephone facilities,
other required public utilities, fire and police protection, and means of access
between the Project and public highways; none of the foregoing will be
foreseeably delayed or impeded by virtue of any requirements under any
applicable Laws. Each Project includes all property and rights that may be
reasonably necessary or desirable to promote the present and any reasonable
future beneficial uses and enjoyment thereof. To the best of Borrower's
knowledge, except as disclosed on Exhibit G, there are no, nor are there any
alleged or asserted, violations of law, regulations, ordinances, codes, permits,
licenses, declarations, covenants, conditions or restrictions of record, or
other agreements relating to any Project, or any part thereof, in any material
respect.

            (k) No brokerage fees or commissions are payable by or to any person
in connection with this Agreement or the Loan to be disbursed.

                                      -25-
<PAGE>

            (l) All financial statements and other documents and information
previously furnished by Borrower, Owner, Holding, or any Manager, Master Tenant
or Guarantor to Lender in connection with the Loan are true, complete and
correct in all material respects and fairly present on a consistent basis the
financial conditions of the subjects thereof for the immediately prior periods
as of the respective dates thereof and do not fail to state any material fact
necessary to make such statements or information not misleading, and no Material
Adverse Change with respect to Borrower, Owner, Holding, or any Manager, Master
Tenant or Guarantor or any Tenant or any Project has occurred since the
respective dates of such statements and information. None of Borrower, Owner,
Holding, or any Manager, Master Tenant or Guarantor or any Tenant has any
material liability, contingent or otherwise, not disclosed in such financial
statements.

            (m) Each Project is taxed separately without regard to any other
property and for all purposes each Project may be mortgaged, conveyed and
otherwise dealt with as an independent parcel. There are no unpaid or
outstanding real estate or other taxes or assessments on or against the Projects
or any part thereof, except general real estate taxes for 2005 not yet due or
payable. To Borrower's or Guarantor's knowledge, there is no pending or
contemplated action pursuant to which any special assessment may be levied
against any portion of the Projects.

            (n) Except for Leases which have been provided to and approved by
Lender in writing, there are no Leases, subleases or other arrangements for
occupancy of space within any Project that are currently in effect other than as
set forth on the revenue journal delivered by Borrower to Lender prior to the
closing of the Loan, which Borrower certifies is true and correct in all
material respects. True, correct and complete copies of Owner's or each Master
Tenant's (as applicable) form resident agreement and all Leases (other than
Services Subleases), including the Master Leases, as amended, have been
delivered to Lender. All Leases, including the Master Leases, are in full force
and effect. None of Borrower, Owner, Holding, or any Manager, Master Tenant nor
any Tenant is in default under any Lease, including the Master Leases. Borrower
has disclosed to Lender in writing any material default by any Tenant under any
Lease and no notice of termination has been issued under any Lease, including
the Master Leases.

            (o) The proceeds of the Loan shall be used for proper business
purposes. The Loan is not being made for the purpose of purchasing or carrying
"margin stock" within the meaning of Regulation T, U or X issued by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System and no portion of the proceeds of the
Loan shall be used in any matter that would violate such Regulations or
otherwise violate the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, and Borrower agrees to execute all instruments necessary to comply with
all the requirements of Regulation U of the Federal Reserve System.

            (p) Borrower is not a party in interest to any plan defined or
regulated under ERISA, and no assets of Borrower are "plan assets" of any
employee benefit plan covered by ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue
Code.

                                      -26-
<PAGE>

            (q) Neither Borrower nor any stockholder in Borrower, Holding, Owner
nor Guarantor is or will be, and no legal or beneficial interest of a
stockholder in Borrower is or will be held, directly or indirectly, by a
"foreign corporation", "foreign partnership", "foreign trust", "foreign estate",
"foreign person", "affiliate" of a "foreign person" or a "United States
intermediary" of a "foreign person" within the meaning of the Internal Revenue
Code Sections 897, 1445 or 7701, the Foreign Investments in Real Property Tax
Act of 1980, the International Foreign Investment Survey Act of 1976, the
Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act of 1978, or the regulations
promulgated pursuant to such Acts or any amendments to such Acts.

            (r) Borrower and Guarantor have furnished Lender with a true and
complete copy of all of the Senior Loan Documents.

            (s) None of Borrower, Owner, Holding, or any Manager, Master Tenant
nor Guarantor, nor any beneficial owner of any of them, is currently listed on
the OFAC Lists.

            (t) All statements set forth in the Recitals are true and correct.

            (u) There has been no damage or destruction of any part of any
Project by fire or other casualty that has not been repaired. Except as part of
routine maintenance, there are presently no existing defects in the Projects and
no repairs or alterations thereof are reasonably necessary or appropriate other
than proposed capital expenditures disclosed to and approved by Lender and the
Deferred Maintenance Items.

            To the best of Borrower's knowledge, there are no strikes, boycotts,
or labor disputes which could reasonably be anticipated to have a material
adverse effect on the operation of any Project.

            (v) None of Borrower, Holding or Owner has employees.

            (w) Borrower has no interest in any trademarks, copyrights, patents
or other intellectual property with respect to Holding, Owner or the Projects.

            (x) The Management Agreements are in full force and effect.

            (y) The Master Leases are in full force and effect.

            Borrower agrees that all of the representations and warranties set
forth above and elsewhere in this Agreement are true as of the date hereof, will
be true at the Closing Date and, except for matters which have been disclosed by
Borrower and approved by Lender in writing, at all times thereafter. It shall be
a condition precedent to the Closing and each subsequent disbursement, if any,
that each of said representations and warranties is true and correct as of the
date of such requested disbursement. Each disbursement from any escrows or
reserves held by or on behalf of Lender shall be deemed to be a reaffirmation by
Borrower that each of the representations and warranties is true and correct as
of the date of

                                      -27-
<PAGE>

such disbursement. In addition, at Lender's request, Borrower shall reaffirm
such representations and warranties in writing prior to each such disbursement.

                              ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

            SECTION 6.1 ENVIRONMENTAL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

            Each Environmental Indemnitor hereby represents and warrants to and
Lender that (i) except as specifically disclosed in the documents listed in
Exhibit F attached hereto (the "ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTS"), to the best of
Environmental Indemnitor's knowledge, (a) each Project is in a clean, safe and
healthful condition and, except for materials used in the ordinary course of
maintenance and operation (and in compliance with all Laws) of such Project, has
been and is free of all Hazardous Material, and (b) no release of any Hazardous
Material has occurred on, onto or about the Projects; (ii) none of Borrower nor
Owner nor, to the best of Environmental Indemnitor's knowledge, any other person
or entity, has ever caused or permitted any Hazardous Material to be placed,
held, located or disposed of on, under, at or in a manner to affect any Project,
or any part thereof, and no Project has ever been used (whether by Borrower,
Owner or, to the best of Environmental Indemnitor's knowledge, by any other
person or entity) for any activities involving, directly or indirectly, the use,
generation, treatment, storage, transportation, or disposal of any Hazardous
Material, except for materials used in the ordinary course of maintenance and
operation (and in compliance with all Laws) of the Projects; (iii) except as
specifically disclosed in the Environmental Documents, each Project currently
complies, and will comply based on its anticipated use, with all Laws relating
to Hazardous Material; (iv) to the best of Environmental Indemnitor's knowledge
in connection with the ownership, operation, and use of the Projects, all
necessary notices have been filed and all required permits, licenses and other
authorizations have been obtained, including those relating to the generation,
treatment, storage, disposal or use of Hazardous Material; (v) to the best of
Environmental Indemnitor's knowledge, there is no present, past or threatened
investigation, inquiry or proceeding relating to the environmental condition of,
or to events on or about any Project; (vi) neither any Project nor Owner is
subject to any remedial obligations under any Laws relating to Hazardous
Material, health or the environment; (vii) there are no underground tanks,
vessels, or similar facilities for the storage, containment or accumulation of
Hazardous Materials of any sort on, under or affecting any Project; and (viii)
it has not, nor will it, release or waive the liability of any previous owner,

Material on any Project to any party, except as contained herein and in the Loan
Documents.

            SECTION 6.2 ENVIRONMENTAL COVENANTS.

            Environmental Indemnitors shall:

            (a) comply, and cause all other persons on or occupying any Project
to comply, with all Laws relating to Hazardous Material;

                                      -28-
<PAGE>

            (b) not install, use, generate, manufacture, store, treat, release
or dispose of, nor permit the installation, use, generation, storage, treatment,
release or disposal of, Hazardous Material on, under or about any Project,
except for materials used in the ordinary course of maintenance and operation
(and in compliance with all Laws) of the Projects;

            (c) immediately advise Lender in writing of: (i) any and all
Environmental Proceedings;(ii) the presence of any Hazardous Material on, under
or about any Project of which Lender has not previously been advised in writing,
except for materials used in the ordinary course of maintenance and operation
(and in compliance with all Laws) of the Projects; (iii) any remedial action
taken by, or on behalf of, any Environmental Indemnitor in response to any
Hazardous Material on, under or about any Project or to any Environmental
Proceedings of which Lender has not previously been advised in writing; (iv) the
discovery by any Environmental Indemnitor of the presence of any Hazardous
Material on, under or about any real property or bodies of water adjoining or in
the vicinity of any Project; and (v) the discovery by any Environmental
Indemnitor of any occurrence or condition on any real property adjoining or in
the vicinity of any Project that could cause any Project or any part thereof to
be subject to any restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, transferability or
use of such Project under any Laws relating to Hazardous Material;

            (d) provide Lender with copies of all reports, analyses, notices,
licenses, approvals, orders, correspondences or other written materials in its
possession or control relating to the environmental condition of each Project or
real property or bodies of water adjoining or in the vicinity of each Project or
Environmental Proceedings immediately upon receipt, completion or delivery of
such materials;

            (e) not install or allow to be installed any tanks on, at or under
any Project;

            (f) not create or permit to continue in existence any lien (whether
or not such lien has priority over the lien created by the Mortgage) upon any
Project imposed pursuant to any Laws relating to Hazardous Material; and

            (g) not change or alter the present use of any Project unless
Environmental Indemnitors shall have notified Lender thereof in writing and
Lender shall have determined, in its sole and absolute discretion, that such
change or modification will not result in the presence of Hazardous Material on
the Project in question in such a level that would increase the potential
liability for Environmental Proceedings.

            SECTION 6.3 RIGHT OF ENTRY AND DISCLOSURE OF ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTS.

            Borrower hereby grants to Lender its agents, employees, consultants
and contractors, an irrevocable license and authorization to enter upon and
inspect the Projects at reasonable times and upon reasonable advance notice, and
conduct such environmental audits and tests, including, without limitation,
subsurface testing, soils and groundwater testing, and other tests which may
physically invade a Project, which Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion,
determines are necessary or desirable. With respect to invasive testing, such as
soil borings, Lender shall consult with Borrower in advance of such tests.
Lender

                                      -29-
<PAGE>

agrees, however, that it shall not conduct any such audits or tests, unless a
default exists under the Loan Documents or Lender has reason to believe that
such audit or test may disclose the presence or release of Hazardous Material or
unless an environmental audit deems further testing necessary. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that Lender shall have the
right to appoint a receiver to enforce this right to enter and inspect the
Projects to the extent such authority is provided under applicable Laws. All
reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection
with any inspection, audit or testing conducted in accordance with this Section
6.3 shall be paid by Borrower. The results of all investigations and reports
prepared by Lender shall be and at all times remain the property of Lender and
under no circumstances shall Lender have any obligation whatsoever to disclose
or otherwise make available to Environmental Indemnitors or any other party such
results or any other information obtained by it in connection with such
investigations and reports; provided, however, that if there exists no Event of
Default under the Loan Documents, if requested by Borrower, Lender shall provide
to Borrower a copy of the written report with respect to any inspection, audit
or testing for which Borrower has paid hereunder. Lender hereby reserves the
right, and Environmental Indemnitors hereby expressly authorize Lender to make
available to any party in connection with a sale of any Project any and all
environmental reports, whether prepared by Lender or prepared by any Borrower
and provided to Lender (collectively, the "ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTS"), which Lender
may have with respect to the Project. Borrower consents to Lender notifying any
party under such circumstances of the availability of any or all of the
Environmental Reports and the information contained therein. Each Environmental
Indemnitor further agrees that Lender may disclose such Environmental Reports to
any governmental agency or authority if they reasonably believe that they are
required to disclose any matter contained therein to such agency or authority;
provided that Lender shall give Borrower at least 48 hours' prior written notice
before so doing. Each Environmental Indemnitor acknowledges that Lender cannot
control or otherwise assure the truthfulness or accuracy of the Environmental
Reports, and that the release of the Environmental Reports, or any information
contained therein, to prospective bidders at any foreclosure sale of any Project
may have a material and adverse effect upon the amount, which a party may bid at
such sale. Each Environmental Indemnitor agrees that Lender shall not have any
liability whatsoever as a result of delivering any or all of the Environmental
Reports or any information contained therein to any third party, and each
Environmental Indemnitor hereby releases and forever discharges Lender from any
and all claims, damages, or causes of action arising out of connected with or
incidental to the Environmental Reports or the delivery thereof.

            SECTION 6.4 ENVIRONMENTAL INDEMNITOR'S REMEDIAL WORK.

            Environmental Indemnitors shall promptly perform any and all
necessary remedial work ("REMEDIAL WORK") in response to any Environmental
Proceedings or the presence, storage, use, disposal, transportation, discharge
or release of any Hazardous Material on, under or about any of the Projects;
provided, however, that Borrower shall perform or cause to be performed such
Remedial Work so as to minimize any impairment to Lender's security under the
Loan Documents.

                                      -30-
<PAGE>

            All Remedial Work shall be conducted: (a) in a diligent and timely
fashion by licensed contractors acting under the supervision of a consulting
environmental engineer; (b) pursuant to a detailed written plan for the Remedial
Work approved by any public or private agencies or persons with a legal or
contractual right to such approval; (c) with such insurance coverage pertaining
to liabilities arising out of the Remedial Work as is then customarily
maintained with respect to such activities; and (d) only following receipt of
any required permits, licenses or approvals. The selection of the Remedial Work
contractors and consulting environmental engineer, the contracts entered into
with such parties, any disclosures to or agreements with any public or private
agencies or parties relating to Remedial Work and the written plan for the
Remedial Work (and any changes thereto) shall each be subject to Lender's prior
written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In
addition, Environmental Indemnitors shall submit to Lender, promptly upon
receipt or preparation, copies of any and all reports, studies, analyses,
correspondence, governmental comments or approvals, proposed removal or other
Remedial Work contracts and similar information prepared or received by
Environmental Indemnitors in connection with any Remedial Work, or Hazardous
Material relating to a Project. All costs and expenses of such Remedial Work
shall be paid by Environmental Indemnitors, including, without limitation, the
charges of the Remedial Work contractors and the consulting environmental
engineer, any taxes or penalties assessed in connection with the Remedial Work
and Lender's reasonable fees and out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with
monitoring or review of such Remedial Work. Lender shall have the right but not
the obligation to join and participate in, as a party if it so elects, any legal
proceedings or actions initiated in connection with any Environmental
Proceedings.

            SECTION 6.5 ENVIRONMENTAL INDEMNITY.

            Environmental Indemnitors shall protect, indemnify, defend and hold
Lender and any successors to Lender's interest in the Projects, and any other
party who acquires any portion of any Project at a foreclosure sale or otherwise
through the exercise of Lender's rights and remedies under the Loan Documents,
and all directors, officers, employees and agents of all of the aforementioned
indemnified parties, harmless from and against any and all actual or potential
claims, liabilities, damages (direct or indirect), and Expenses which arise out
of or relate in any way to any breach of any representation, warranty or
covenant contained herein, or any Environmental Proceedings or any use,
handling, production, transportation, disposal, release or storage of any
Hazardous Material in, under or on any Project, whether by any Environmental
Indemnitor or any other person, including, without limitation:

            (a) all foreseeable and all unforeseeable Expenses (including any
loss of principal and interest due and owing on the Loan) arising out of: (i)
Environmental Proceedings or the use, generation, storage, discharge or disposal
of Hazardous Material by Environmental Indemnitors, any prior owner or operator
of any Project or any person on or about any Project; (ii) any residual
contamination affecting any natural resource or the environment; or (iii) any
exercise by Lender of any of its rights and remedies hereunder; and

                                      -31-
<PAGE>

            (b) the costs of any required or necessary investigation,
assessment, testing, remediation, repair, cleanup, or detoxification of any
Project and the preparation of any closure or other required plans.

            Environmental Indemnitors' liability to the aforementioned
indemnified parties shall arise upon the earlier to occur of (1) discovery of
any Hazardous Material on, under or about any Project, or (2) the institution of
any Environmental Proceedings, and not upon the realization of loss or damage,
and Environmental Indemnitors shall pay to Lender from time to time, immediately
upon request, an amount equal to such Expenses, as reasonably determined by
Lender. In addition, in the event any Hazardous Material is removed, or caused
to be removed from any Project, by Environmental Indemnitors, Lender or any
other person, the number assigned by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to
such Environmental Proceedings or any similar identification shall in no event
be in the name of Lender or identify the Lender as a generator, arranger or
other designation. The foregoing indemnity shall not include Expenses arising
solely from Hazardous Material which first exists on any Project following the
date on which the Lender takes title to such Project, whether by foreclosure of
the applicable Mortgage, deed-in-lieu thereof or otherwise.

            SECTION 6.6 REMEDIES UPON AN ENVIRONMENTAL DEFAULT.

            In addition to any other rights or remedies Lender may have under
this Article 6, at law or in equity, in the event that Environmental Indemnitors
shall fail to timely comply with any of the provisions of this Article 6, or in
the event that any representation or warranty made in this Article 6 proves to
be false or misleading, then, in such event, after (i) delivering written notice
to Environmental Indemnitors, which notice specifically states that
Environmental Indemnitors have failed to comply with the provisions of this
Article 6; and (ii) the expiration of the earlier to occur of (A) a thirty (30)
day period after receipt of such notice and (B) the cure period, if any,
permitted under any applicable law, rule, regulation or order with which
Environmental Indemnitors shall have failed to comply, Lender may declare an
Event of Default in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents and exercise any
and all remedies provided for therein, and/or do or cause to be done whatever is
reasonably necessary to cause the Projects to comply with all Laws relating to
Hazardous Material and other applicable Laws, rules, regulations or orders and
the cost thereof shall constitute an Expense hereunder and shall become
immediately due and payable without notice and with interest thereon at the
Default Rate until paid. Environmental Indemnitors shall give to Lender and its
agents and employees access to the Projects for the purpose of effecting such
compliance and hereby specifically grant to Lender a license, effective upon
expiration of the applicable period as described above, if any, to do whatever
is necessary to cause the Projects to so comply, including, without limitation,
to enter the Projects and remove therefrom any Hazardous Material or otherwise
comply with any Laws relating to Hazardous Material.

            SECTION 6.7 UNCONDITIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL OBLIGATIONS.

            Notwithstanding any term or provision contained herein or in the
other Loan Documents, the covenants and obligations of the Environmental
Indemnitors under this Article 6 (the "ENVIRONMENTAL OBLIGATIONS") are
unconditional. Environmental Indemnitors shall be fully, personally, jointly and
severally liable for the Environmental Obligations, and such liability shall not
be limited to the original principal amount of the Loan. The Environmental
Obligations shall be enforceable by Lender, its Affiliates, and its successors
and assigns. The Environmental Obligations shall survive the repayment of the
Loan and any foreclosure, deed-in-lieu or transfer in lieu of foreclosure or
similar proceedings or any transfer of title to the Projects or any portion
thereof.

            SECTION 6.8 ASSIGNMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL OBLIGATIONS PROHIBITED.

            The Environmental Obligations may not be assigned or transferred, in
whole or in part, by Environmental Indemnitors and any purported assignment by
Environmental Indemnitors of the Environmental Obligations shall be void ab
initio and of no force or effect.

            SECTION 6.9 INDEMNIFICATION SEPARATE FROM THE LOAN.

            (a) The Environmental Indemnitors agree that the Environmental
Obligations are separate, independent of and in addition to the undertakings of
the Environmental Indemnitors, as applicable, pursuant to the Loan, the Note,
the other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. A separate
action may be brought to enforce the provisions of this Article 6, which shall
in no way be deemed to be an action on the Note, whether or not the Loan has
been repaid and whether or not Lender would be entitled to a deficiency judgment
following a judicial foreclosure, trustee's sale or UCC sale. The Environmental
Obligations shall not be affected by any exculpatory provisions contained in the
Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. All rights and
obligations of this Article 6 shall survive performance and repayment of the
obligations evidenced by and arising under the Loan Documents, surrender of the
Note, reconveyance of the Assignment, release of other security provided in
connection with the Loan, trustee's sale or foreclosure under the Assignment
and/or any of the other Loan Documents (whether by assignment in lieu of
foreclosure, or otherwise, acquisition of the ownership interests in the
Borrower by Lender, any transfer of any Project, and transfer of all of Lender's
rights in the Loan, the Loan Documents, and the ownership interests in Borrower.

            (b) The Environmental Indemnitors may not assign or delegate their
covenants, agreements and obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of Lender. The covenants, agreements and obligations of the
Environmental Indemnitors hereunder shall be binding upon the Environmental
Indemnitors, their heirs, administrators, legal representatives, successors and
assigns. The rights, remedies and benefits of Lender hereunder shall inure to
the benefit of Lender, its legal representatives and the successors and assigns
of its interest under any or all of the Loan Documents and its Affiliates, it
being the

                                      -33-
<PAGE>

intention hereof that the covenants and indemnities of the Environmental
Indemnitors shall, without limitation, further extend to any person or entity
who holds an interest in the Note without in any way terminating, limiting or
diminishing the benefits to any previous or existing beneficiary of this Article
6.

            (c) Environmental Indemnitors waive all rights to require Lender to
(i) proceed against or exhaust any security for the Loan or (ii) pursue any
remedy in Lender's power whatsoever. Borrower waives all defenses by reason of
any disability or other defense under the Loan or by reason of the cessation
from any cause whatsoever of its liability under the Loan, or that it may
acquire by reason of Lender's election of any remedy against it including,
without limitation, Lender's exercise of its rights to foreclose under the
Assignment.

            SECTION 6.10 FURTHER SECURITY.

            As further security for the Environmental Obligations, Environmental
Indemnitors do hereby assign to Lender all of Environmental Indemnitors' rights
and benefits under any right of indemnification or right to contribution to
which Environmental Indemnitors may be entitled (whether under Hazardous
Materials law, by contract or otherwise) with respect to any Hazardous Materials
or environmental condition (collectively, the "INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS") and
Environmental Indemnitors hereby covenant to take such further actions and to
execute such further instruments as are necessary to transfer to Lender all
rights and benefits accruing in favor of Environmental Indemnitors under any of
the Indemnification Rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Environmental
Indemnitors shall continue to fully perform all of their respective covenants
and obligations under such Indemnification Rights and shall continue to enforce
the terms of the Indemnification Rights, and Lender shall have no liabilities or
obligations under the Indemnification Rights or for enforcement of the
Indemnification Rights by reason of the foregoing assignment. The assignment and
covenants in this Section 6.10 shall survive in perpetuity.

                                  ARTICLE VII
                           CASUALTIES AND CONDEMNATION

            SECTION 7.1 LENDER'S ELECTION TO APPLY INSURANCE PROCEEDS ON
INDEBTEDNESS.

            (a) Until the Senior Loan is repaid in full, all proceeds of
insurance resulting from any loss at any Project or condemnation or other taking
of a Project or a portion thereof (individually and collectively referred to as
"INSURANCE PROCEEDS") shall be applied in accordance with the Senior Loan
Documents (whether in repayment of the Senior Loan, restoration of the Projects,
or otherwise). After the Senior Loan is repaid in full and subject to the
provisions of Section 7.1(b) below, Lender may elect to collect, retain and
apply upon the Indebtedness of Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents all Insurance Proceeds after deduction of all expenses of
collection and settlement, including attorneys' and adjusters' fees and charges.
Any proceeds remaining after repayment of the Indebtedness shall be paid by
Lender to Borrower.

            (b) After the Senior Loan is repaid in full and notwithstanding
anything in Section 7.1(a) to the contrary, in the event of any casualty to any
Improvements or any condemnation of part of any Project, Lender agrees to make
available the Insurance Proceeds for restoration of such Improvements if (i) no
Event of Default exists, (ii) all Insurance Proceeds are deposited with Lender,
(iii) in Lender's reasonable judgment, the amount of Insurance Proceeds
available for restoration of the Improvements is sufficient to pay the full and
complete costs of such restoration, (iv) no material Leases (which for this
purpose shall mean Leases demising more than five percent (5%) of the rentable
square feet of space at the affected Project) in effect at the time of such
casualty or condemnation are or will be terminated as a result of such casualty
or condemnation, (v) the income from the affected Project will not decrease more
than five percent (5%) as a result of such casualty or condemnation, (vi) the
cost of restoration does not exceed ten percent (10%) of the Loan Amount, (vii)

be restored to an architecturally and economically viable project in compliance
with applicable Laws, (ix) Guarantor reaffirms its guaranty, as applicable, in
writing, (x) in Lender's reasonable determination, such restoration is likely to
be completed not later than six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date and (xi)
no Master Lease or Management Agreement with respect to the affected Project is
terminated.

            SECTION 7.2 BORROWER'S OBLIGATION TO REBUILD AND USE OF INSURANCE
PROCEEDS THEREFOR.

            Subject to the terms of the Senior Loan, in case Lender does not
elect to apply or does not have the right to apply the Insurance Proceeds to the
Indebtedness, as provided in Section 7.1 above, Borrower shall:

            (a) Proceed or cause Owner or the applicable Master Tenant to
proceed with diligence to make settlement with insurers or the appropriate
governmental authorities and cause the Insurance Proceeds to be deposited with
the Senior Lender, if the Senior Loan is outstanding, otherwise with Lender;

            (b) In the event of any delay in making settlement with insurers or
the appropriate governmental authorities or effecting collection of the

outstanding (otherwise with Lender), the full amount required to complete
construction as aforesaid;

            (c) In the event the Insurance Proceeds and the available proceeds
of the Loan are insufficient to assure Lender that all contemplated repairs or
construction will be completed, promptly deposit with Lender or the holder of
the Senior Loan any amount necessary to assure that such contemplated repairs or
construction will be completed; and

            (d) Promptly cause Owner or the applicable Master Tenant to proceed
with the assumption of construction of the Improvements, including the repair of
all damage resulting from such fire, condemnation or other cause and restoration
to its former condition.

                                      -35-
<PAGE>

            Any request by Borrower for a disbursement by Lender of Insurance
Proceeds and funds deposited by Borrower shall be treated by Lender as if such
request were for an advance of the Loan hereunder, and the disbursement thereof
shall be conditioned upon Borrower's compliance with and satisfaction of the
same conditions precedent as would be applicable under this Agreement for an
advance of the Loan.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

            SECTION 8.1 EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

non-monetary covenant or condition is susceptible to cure and cannot reasonably
be cured within said thirty (30) day period, then Borrower shall have an
additional sixty (60) day period to cure such failure and no Event of Default
shall be deemed to exist hereunder so long as (Y) Borrower commences such cure
within the initial thirty (30) day period and diligently and in good faith
pursues such cure to completion within such resulting ninety (90) day period
from the date of Lender's notice, and (Z) the existence of such default will not
result in any Tenant having the right to terminate its Lease due to such
default; and provided further that if a different notice or grace period is
specified under any other subsection of this Section 8.1 with respect to a
particular breach, or if another subsection of this Section 8.1 applies to a

the specific provision shall control;

            (d) Any material default by Owner, as lessor, under the terms of any
Lease (including the Master Leases) following the expiration of any applicable
notice and cure period, provided that if the Lease (including the Master Leases)

provided in (a) above will apply to any such

                                      -36-
<PAGE>

monetary default, and the notice and cure period provided in (c) will apply to
any such non-monetary default (which respective periods shall commence upon
written notice of default from Lender or the applicable Tenant, whichever occurs
first);

            (e) If any warranty, representation, statement, report or
certificate made now or hereafter by Borrower or Guarantor is untrue or
incorrect in any material respect at the time made or delivered, provided that
if such breach is reasonably susceptible of cure, then no Event of Default shall
exist so long as the applicable party cures said breach (i) by the due date
provided in (a) above for a breach that can be cured by the payment of money or
(ii) within the notice and cure period provided in (c) above for any other
breach;

            (f) A petition under any Chapter of Title 11 of the United States

applicable grace or cure periods, if any, specified for such default therein; or

            (j) The occurrence of a default under the Senior Loan Documents (i)
which continues beyond the expiration of any applicable cure periods or (ii)

            SECTION 8.2 REMEDIES CONFERRED UPON LENDER.

            Lender's rights, remedies and powers, as provided herein and the
other Loan Documents, are cumulative and concurrent, and may be pursued singly,
successively or together against Borrower, any guarantor of the Loan, the
security described in the Loan Documents, and any other security given at any
time to secure the payment hereof, all at the sole discretion of Lender.
Additionally, Lender may resort to every other right or remedy available at law
or in equity without first exhausting the rights and remedies contained herein,
all in Lender's sole discretion. Failure of Lender, for any period of time or on
more than one occasion, to exercise its option to accelerate the Maturity Date
shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same at any time
during the continued existence of any

                                      -37-
<PAGE>

Event of Default or any subsequent Event of Default. Upon the occurrence of any
Event of Default, Lender may pursue any one or more of the following remedies
concurrently or successively, it being the intent hereof that none of such
remedies shall be to the exclusion of any other:

            (a) Foreclose the Assignment and do anything that is necessary or
appropriate in its sole judgment to fulfill the obligations of Borrower under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without restricting the generality
of the foregoing and for the purposes aforesaid, Borrower hereby appoints and
constitutes Lender its lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution
in the Projects to use unadvanced funds remaining under the Note or which may be
reserved, escrowed or set aside for any purposes hereunder at any time, or to
advance funds in excess of the face amount of the Note, to pay, settle or
compromise all existing bills and claims, which may be liens or security
interests, or to avoid such bills and claims becoming liens against any
Projects; to execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower
prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with any of the
Improvements or Project; and to do any and every act which Borrower might do in
its own behalf; it being understood and agreed that this power of attorney shall
be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked;

            (b) Declare the Note or the Indebtedness to be immediately due and
payable;

            (c) Use and apply any monies or letters of credit deposited by
Borrower with Lender, including all escrows and reserves, if any, regardless of
the purposes for which the same was deposited, to cure any such default or to
apply on account of any Indebtedness under this Agreement which is due and owing
to Lender;

            (d) Exercise or pursue any other remedy or cause of action permitted
under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, or conferred upon Lender by
operation of Law.

            Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default under Section 8.1(f) all amounts evidenced by the Note shall
automatically become due and payable, without any presentment, demand, protest
or notice of any kind to Borrower.

                                   ARTICLE IX
                        LOAN EXPENSE, COSTS AND ADVANCES

            SECTION 9.1 LOAN AND ADMINISTRATION EXPENSES.

            Whether or not the Loan is made, Borrower unconditionally agrees to
pay all costs and expenses of the Loan, including all amounts payable pursuant
to Sections 2.7, 2.8 and 9.3 and any and all other fees owing to Lender pursuant
to the Loan Documents, and also including all documentation, modification, or
workout costs relating to the Loan, recording, filing and registration fees and
charges, mortgage or documentary taxes, UCC searches, title and survey charges,
all fees and disbursements of Lender's consultants, any costs involved in

                                      -38-
<PAGE>

the disbursement, syndication and administration of the Loan, any repair or
maintenance costs or payments made to remove or protect against liens, all costs
and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the determination of whether
or not Borrower has performed the obligations undertaken by Borrower hereunder
or has satisfied any conditions precedent to the obligations of Lender hereunder
and, if any default or Event of Default occurs hereunder or under any of the
Loan Documents or if the Loan or Note or any portion thereof is not paid in full
when and as due, all costs and expenses of Lender incurred in attempting to
enforce or collect payment of the Loan or enforce any rights of Lender or
Borrower's obligations hereunder and expenses of Lender incurred (including
expenses relating to documentary and expert evidence, publication costs) in
attempting to realize, while a default or Event of Default exists, on any
security or incurred in connection with the sale, disposition (or preparation
for sale or disposition) or liquidation of any security for the Loan (including
any foreclosure sale of the issued and outstanding stock of Borrower, assignment
in lieu transaction or costs incurred in connection with any litigation or
bankruptcy or administrative hearing and any appeals therefrom and any
post-judgment enforcement action including, without limitation, supplementary
proceedings in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement). All such
costs or expenses incurred or advances or payments made by Lender shall also
include court costs, legal fees and disbursements relating thereto and shall be
included as additional Indebtedness evidenced by the Note and secured by the
Assignment and the other Loan Documents bearing interest at the Default Rate set
forth in the Note until paid. Borrower agrees to pay all brokerage, finder or
similar fees or commissions payable in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby and shall indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless against
all claims, liabilities, and Expenses arising in relation to any claim by
broker, finder or similar person. Lender may require the payment of Lender's
outstanding fees and expenses as a condition to any disbursement of the Loan.
Lender is hereby authorized, without any specific request or direction by
Borrower, to make disbursements from time to time in payment of or to reimburse
Lender for all Loan expenses and fees.

            SECTION 9.2 RIGHT OF LENDER TO MAKE ADVANCES TO CURE BORROWER'S
DEFAULTS.

            In the event that Borrower fails to perform any of Borrower's
covenants, agreements or obligations contained in this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents (after the expiration of applicable grace periods, except
in the event of an emergency or other exigent circumstances), Lender may (but
shall not be required to) perform any of such covenants, agreements and
obligations, and any amounts expended by Lender in so doing and shall constitute
additional Indebtedness evidenced by the Note and secured by the Assignment and
the other Loan Documents and shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to
the Interest Rate (or Default Rate following an Event of Default).

            SECTION 9.3 INCREASED COSTS.

            Borrower agrees to pay Lender additional amounts to compensate
Lender for any increase in its actual costs incurred in maintaining the Loan or
any portion thereof outstanding or for the reduction of any amounts received or
receivable from Borrower as a

                                      -39-
<PAGE>

result of any change after the date hereof in any applicable Law, regulation or
treaty, or in the interpretation or administration thereof, or by any domestic
or foreign court, changing the basis of taxation of payments under this
Agreement to Lender (other than taxes imposed on or measured by the net income
or receipts of Lender or any franchise tax imposed on Lender). Any amount
payable by Borrower under this Article 9 shall be paid within five (5) days of
receipt by Borrower of a notice by Lender setting forth the amount due and the
basis for the determination of such amount, which statement shall be conclusive
and binding upon Borrower, absent manifest error. Failure on the part of Lender
to demand payment from Borrower for any such amount attributable to any
particular period shall not constitute a waiver of Lender's right to demand
payment of such amount for any subsequent or prior period.

            SECTION 9.4 BORROWER WITHHOLDING.

            If by reason of a change in any applicable Laws occurring after the
date hereof, Borrower is required by Law to make any deduction or withholding in
respect of any taxes (other than taxes imposed on or measured by the net income
of or receipts of Lender or any franchise tax imposed on Lender), duties or
other charges from any payment due under the Note, the sum due from Borrower in
respect of such payment shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure
that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, Lender receives and
retains a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no such
deduction or withholding been required to be made.

            SECTION 9.5 DOCUMENT AND RECORDING TAX INDEMNIFICATION.

            Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from
and against any claim that any documentary or mortgage tax is due and payable in
connection with the Loan or the execution, delivery or recording of the Loan
Documents and to pay such taxes and Expenses incurred by Lender in connection
therewith. Borrower may contest any determination that any such taxes are due,
but shall pay any such taxes (including penalties and interest) when legally
required. This paragraph shall survive repayment of the Loan.

                                   ARTICLE X
                      ASSIGNMENTS BY LENDER AND DISCLOSURE

            SECTION 10.1 ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS.

            Lender may from time to time, without the consent of Borrower, sell,
transfer, pledge, assign and convey the Loan and the Loan Documents (or any
interest therein) and may grant participations in the Loan. Borrower agrees to
cooperate with Lender's efforts to do any of the foregoing and to execute all
documents reasonably required by Lender in connection therewith which do not
materially adversely affect Borrower's rights under the Loan Documents and
Borrower shall be responsible only for payment of all of its own fees and
expenses in connection therewith (including attorneys' fees).

            SECTION 10.2 DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION AND CONFIDENTIALITY.

            Lender shall have the right (but shall be under no obligation) to
make available to (i) agents, employees, Affiliates, attorneys, advisors of
Lender and any regulator, governmental agency or authority and (ii) prospective
transferees, participants or purchasers of any interest in the Loan or any
prospective bidder at any foreclosure sale of a Project, any and all information
that Lender may have with respect to the Projects, Master Tenant, Borrower,
Owner, Holding and Guarantor, whether provided by such Person or any third
party, including, without limitation, (A) as required by law, regulation, rule,
request or order, subpoena, judicial order or similar order and in connection
with any litigation and (B) as may be required in connection with the
examination, audit or similar investigation of such Person, provided, that
Lender exercise the same degree of care that it exercises with respect to its
own proprietary information to maintain the confidentiality of any confidential
information thereby received or received with respect to the Projects, the
Borrower, Owner, Holding or Guarantor. Confidential information shall include
only such information identified as such at the time provided to Lender and
shall not include information that either: (i) is in the public domain, or
becomes part of the public domain after disclosure to such Person through no
fault of such person or (ii) is disclosed to such Person by a third party
(including information obtained as a result of any environmental assessments),
provided Lender does not have actual knowledge that such third party is
prohibited from disclosing such information. Borrower, Owner, Holding and
Guarantor agree that Lender shall have no liability whatsoever as a result of
delivering any such information to any third party as described above, and
Borrower and Guarantor, on behalf of themselves and their successors and
assigns, hereby release and discharge Lender from any and all liability, claims,
damages, or causes of action, arising out of, connected with or incidental to
the delivery of any such information to any third party.

                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

            SECTION 11.1 CAPTIONS.

            The captions and headings of various Articles, Sections and
subsections of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Exhibits and
Schedules pertaining thereto are for convenience only and are not to be
considered as defining or limiting in any way the scope or intent of the
provisions hereof or thereof.

            SECTION 11.2 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

            BORROWER, LENDER AND GUARANTOR EACH KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND
INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY
DISPUTE, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT AND
THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY ACTIONS OR
PROCEEDINGS FOR ENFORCEMENT OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS) AND AGREE THAT ANY SUCH
ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.
BORROWER, LENDER AND GUARANTOR EACH

                                      -41-
<PAGE>

ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS
RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH OF THEM HAS RELIED ON THIS WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THAT EACH OF THEM WILL CONTINUE TO
RELY ON THIS WAIVER IN THEIR RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. BORROWER, LENDER AND
GUARANTOR EACH WARRANT AND REPRESENT THAT EACH HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY OF
REVIEWING THIS JURY WAIVER WITH LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT EACH KNOWINGLY AND
VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS.

            SECTION 11.3 JURISDICTION.

            TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BORROWER AND GUARANTOR
HEREBY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE MARSHALLING OF ASSETS BY LENDER.

(EACH, A "PROCEEDING"), BORROWER AND GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY (A) SUBMITS TO THE
NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS HAVING JURISDICTION
IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO, COUNTY OF COOK AND STATE OF ILLINOIS, AND (B) WAIVES ANY
OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE AT ANY TIME TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY PROCEEDING
BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT, WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY PROCEEDING HAS BEEN BROUGHT
IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND FURTHER WAIVES THE RIGHT TO OBJECT, WITH RESPECT TO
SUCH PROCEEDING, THAT SUCH COURT DOES NOT HAVE JURISDICTION OVER SUCH PARTY.
NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL PRECLUDE LENDER FROM BRINGING A PROCEEDING IN
ANY OTHER JURISDICTION NOR WILL THE BRINGING OF A PROCEEDING IN ANY ONE OR MORE
JURISDICTIONS PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF A PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.
BORROWER AND GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS AND
FURTHER AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT, IN ADDITION TO ANY METHODS OF SERVICE OF
PROCESS PROVIDED FOR UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ALL SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY
PROCEEDING IN ANY ILLINOIS STATE OR UNITED STATES COURT SITTING IN THE CITY OF

            SECTION 11.4 GOVERNING LAW.

            IRRESPECTIVE OF THE PLACE OF EXECUTION AND/OR DELIVERY, THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS,
WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES.

            SECTION 11.5 LAWFUL RATE OF INTEREST.

            In no event whatsoever shall the amount of interest paid or agreed
to be paid to Lender pursuant to this Loan Agreement, the Note or any of the
Loan Documents exceed the highest lawful rate of interest permissible under
applicable law. If, from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any
provision of this Loan Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall
involve exceeding the lawful rate of interest which a court of competent
jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto ("EXCESS INTEREST"), then ipso facto,
the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the highest lawful rate of
interest permissible under such law and if, for any reason whatsoever, Lender
shall receive, as interest, an amount which would be deemed unlawful under such
applicable law, such interest shall be applied to the Loan (whether or not due
and payable), and not to the payment of interest, or refunded to Borrower if
such Loan has been paid in full. Neither Borrower nor any Guarantor, other
guarantor, endorser or surety nor their heirs, legal representatives, successors
or assigns shall have any action against Lender for any damages whatsoever
arising out of the payment or collection of any such Excess Interest.

            SECTION 11.6 MODIFICATION; CONSENT.

            No modification, waiver, amendment or discharge of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document shall be valid unless the same is in writing and signed
by the party against which the enforcement of such modification, waiver,
amendment or discharge is sought. Consent by Lender to any act or omission by
Borrower shall not be construed as a consent to any other or subsequent act or
omission or to waive the requirement for Lender's consent to be obtained in any
future or other instance.

            SECTION 11.7 WAIVERS; ACQUIESCENCE OR FORBEARANCE NOT TO CONSTITUTE
WAIVER OF LENDER'S REQUIREMENTS.

            (a) Borrower for itself, Guarantor, and all endorsers, guarantors
and sureties and their heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns, (i)
waives presentment for payment, demand, notice of nonpayment or dishonor,
protest of any dishonor, protest and notice of protest and all other notices in
connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of
the payment of the Loan; (ii) waives and renounces all rights to the benefits of
any statute of limitations and any moratorium, reinstatement, marshalling,
forbearance, valuation, stay, extension, redemption, appraisement, or exemption
and homestead laws now provided, or which may hereafter be provided, by the laws
of the United States and of any state thereof against the enforcement and
collection of the

                                      -43-
<PAGE>

obligations evidenced by the Note or this Loan Agreement or as a bar to the
enforcement of the lien created by any of the Loan Documents.

            (b) Borrower for itself, Guarantor, and all endorsers, guarantors
and sureties and their heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns, (i)
agrees that its liability shall not be in any manner affected by any indulgence,
extension of time, renewal, waiver, or modification granted or consented to by
Lender; (ii) consents to any indulgences and all extensions of time, renewals,
waivers, or modifications that may be granted by Lender with respect to the
payment or other provisions of this Loan Agreement, the Note, and to any
substitution, exchange or release of the collateral, or any part thereof, with
or without substitution, and agrees to the addition or release of any Borrower,
Guarantor, endorsers, guarantors, or sureties, whether primarily or secondarily
liable, without notice to Borrower and without affecting its liability
hereunder; (iii) agrees that its liability shall be unconditional and without
regard to the liability of any other Person; and (iv) expressly waives the
benefit of any statute or rule of law or equity now provided, or which may
hereafter be provided, which would produce a result contrary to or in conflict
with the foregoing.

            (c) Each and every covenant and condition for the benefit of Lender
contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be waived by
Lender, provided, however, that to the extent that Lender may have acquiesced in
any noncompliance with any requirements or conditions precedent to the closing
of the Loan or to any subsequent disbursement of Loan proceeds, such
acquiescence shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver by Lender of such
requirements with respect to any future disbursements of Loan proceeds and
Lender may at any time after such acquiescence require Borrower to comply with
all such requirements. Any forbearance by Lender in exercising any right or
remedy under any of the Loan Documents, or otherwise afforded by applicable law,
including any failure to accelerate the Maturity Date shall not be a waiver of
or preclude the exercise of any right or remedy nor shall it serve as a novation
of the Note or as a reinstatement of the Loan or a waiver of such right of
acceleration or the right to insist upon strict compliance of the terms of the
Loan Documents. Lender's acceptance of payment of any sum secured by any of the
Loan Documents after the due date of such payment shall not be a waiver of
Lender's right to either require prompt payment when due of all other sums so
secured or to declare a default for failure to make prompt payment. The
procurement of insurance or the payment of taxes or other liens or charges by
Lender shall not be a waiver of Lender's right to accelerate the maturity of the
Loan, nor shall Lender's receipt of any awards, proceeds, or damages under
Article 7 of this Agreement operate to cure or waive Borrower's or the
Guarantor's default in payment of sums secured by any of the Loan Documents.

            SECTION 11.8 DISCLAIMER BY LENDER.

            This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are made for the sole
benefit of Borrower and Lender, and no other person or persons shall have any
benefits, rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents, or by reason of

                                      -44-
<PAGE>

any actions taken by Lender pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents. Lender shall not be liable to any contractors, subcontractors,
supplier, architect, engineer, Tenant or other party for labor or services
performed or materials supplied in connection with the Project. Lender shall not
be liable for any debts or claims accruing in favor of any such parties against
Borrower or others or against Owner or any Project. Lender neither undertakes
nor assumes any responsibility or duty to Borrower to select, review, inspect,
supervise, pass judgment upon or inform Borrower of any matter in connection
with Owner or the Projects. Borrower shall rely entirely upon its own judgment
with respect to such matters, and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise
of judgment or supply of information to Borrower by Lender in connection with
such matters is for the protection of Lender only, and neither Borrower nor any
third party is entitled to rely thereon.

            SECTION 11.9 PARTIAL INVALIDITY; SEVERABILITY.

            If any of the provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, or the application thereof to any person, party or circumstances,
shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or the application of such provision or
provisions to persons, parties or circumstances other than those as to whom or
which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and
every provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest
extent permitted by law and to this end, the provisions of this Agreement and
all the other Loan Documents are declared to be severable. All covenants and
agreements of Borrower and Guarantor shall be joint and several.

            SECTION 11.10 DEFINITIONS INCLUDE AMENDMENTS.

            Definitions contained in this Agreement which identify documents,
including, but not limited to, the Loan Documents, shall be deemed to include
all amendments and supplements to such documents from the date hereof, and all
future amendments, modifications, and supplements thereto entered into from time
to time to satisfy the requirements of this Agreement or otherwise with the
consent of Lender. Reference to this Agreement contained in any of the foregoing
documents shall be deemed to include all amendments and supplements to this
Agreement.

            SECTION 11.11 EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS.

            This Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be executed in any
number of counterparts and by different parties hereto or thereto in separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original
and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

            SECTION 11.12 ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

            This Agreement, taken together with all of the other Loan Documents
and all certificates and other documents delivered by Borrower or Guarantor to
Lender, embody the entire agreement and supersede all prior commitments,
agreements, representations, and

                                      -45-
<PAGE>

understandings, written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof, and may
not be contradicted or varied by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or
subsequent oral agreements or discussions of the parties hereto.

            SECTION 11.13 WAIVER OF DAMAGES.

            In no event shall Lender be liable to Borrower for punitive,
exemplary or consequential damages, including, without limitation, lost profits,
whatever the nature of a breach by Lender of its obligations under this
Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, and Borrower for itself and Guarantor
waive all claims for punitive, exemplary or consequential damages.

            SECTION 11.14 CLAIMS AGAINST LENDER.

            Lender shall not be in default under this Agreement, or under any
other Loan Documents, unless a written notice specifically setting forth the
claim of Borrower shall have been given to Lender within three (3) months after
Borrower first had knowledge of the occurrence of the event which Borrower
alleges gave rise to such claim and Lender does not remedy or cure the default,
if any there be, promptly thereafter. Borrower waives any claim, set-off or
defense against Lender arising by reason of any alleged default by Lender as to
which Borrower does not give such notice timely as aforesaid. Borrower
acknowledges that such waiver is or may be essential to Lender's ability to
enforce its remedies without delay and that such waiver therefore constitutes a
substantial part of the bargain between Lender and Borrower with regard to the
Loan. No Guarantor or Tenant is intended to have any rights as a third-party
beneficiary of the provisions of this Section 11.14.

            SECTION 11.15 SET-OFFS.

            After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Lender from time to
time to charge Borrower's accounts and deposits with Lender (or its Affiliates),
and to pay over to Lender an amount equal to any amounts from time to time due
and payable to Lender hereunder, under the Note or under any other Loan
Document. Borrower hereby grants to Lender a security interest in and to all
such accounts and deposits maintained by Borrower with Lender (or its
Affiliates).

            SECTION 11.16 RELATIONSHIP.

            The relationship between Lender and Borrower shall be that of
creditor-debtor only. No term in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents
and no course of dealing between the parties shall be deemed to create any
relationship of agency, partnership or joint venture or any fiduciary duty by
Lender to Borrower or any other party.

<PAGE>

            SECTION 11.17 AGENTS.

            In exercising any rights under the Loan Documents or taking any
actions provided for therein, Lender may act through its employees, agents or
independent contractors as authorized by Lender.

            SECTION 11.18 INTERPRETATION.

            With respect to all Loan Documents, whenever the context requires,
all words used in the singular will be construed to have been used in the
plural, and vice versa, and each gender will include any other gender. The word
"obligations" is used in its broadest and most comprehensive sense, and includes
all primary, secondary, direct, indirect, fixed and contingent obligations. It
further includes all principal, interest, prepayment charges, late charges, loan
fees and any other fees and charges accruing or assessed at any time, as well as
all obligations to perform acts or satisfy conditions. No listing of specific
instances, items or matters in any way limits the scope or generality of any
language in the Loan Documents. This Agreement and all of the other Loan
Documents shall not be construed more strictly against one party than against
the other, merely by virtue of the fact that it may have been prepared primarily
by counsel for one of the parties.

            SECTION 11.19 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

            Subject to the restrictions on transfer and assignment contained in
Section 4.2(b) of this Agreement, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding on Lender, Borrower and
Guarantor and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns.

            SECTION 11.20 TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE.

            Borrower agrees that time is of the essence under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents and the performance of each of the covenants and
agreements contained herein and therein.

            SECTION 11.21 LENDER'S CONSULTATION RIGHTS.

            Except with respect to compliance with environmental laws and the
handling and disposal of Hazardous Material, Lender shall have the right from
time to time (i) to consult with Borrower regarding the business operation of
the Projects, and the financial and other condition of Borrower, Owner, Holding
or the Projects with Borrower's officers, employees, directors and managers,
(ii) to receive notice from Borrower from time to time of any material
development affecting Borrower, Owner, Holding or the Projects and the right to
consult with Borrower with respect to such matter, (iii) to discuss with
Borrower any significant business issues involved in negotiating a plan of
reorganization for Borrower, Holding or Owner including proposed reorganization
plans and operating plans for proceeding following such plan of reorganization
coming into effect, and (iv) to request from

                                      -47-
<PAGE>

Borrower such forecasts, projections and other financial and business data as
Lender may deem reasonably appropriate.

            SECTION 11.22 NOTICES.

            Any notice, demand, request or other communication which any party

                          REGULATORY REPORTABLE EVENTS

At Alterra Healthcare Corporation, the Regulatory Affairs Department tracks
regulatory issues or concerns through a Reportable Events procedure.
Specifically, the operations' management team is responsible for reporting to
the Regulatory Affairs Department any regulatory citations or deficiencies that
(1) could result or have resulted in a monetary fine or forfeiture, (2) could
have or has had a material effect on the license such as the issuing of a
provisional or probationary license due to a deficiency, or a suspension or
revocation of licensure, (3) could result or have resulted in a curtailment on
admissions, or (4) could result in termination of participation in a government
payment program.

FLORIDA

Alterra Sterling House of Stuart - Based upon Financial Monitoring Surveys on
March 17, 2004, May 27, 2004, and June 29, 2004, AHCA issued notices on 7/2/2004
and 9/9/2004 to impose fines of $500 and $3000, respectively, for an alleged
Class III deficiency for failure to ensure that the residence was maintained in
accordance with general requirements for physical plant safety. The residence
appealed the forfeitures in July and September 2004, respectively, as a finding
of a Class III deficiency may result in a loss of the ECC and/or LNS license.
The bi-annual survey and survey conducted by the Dept. of Health came back with
no citations for cleanliness issues and the financial monitoring surveys should
not have been conducted after April 2004. A proposed settlement agreement was
reached 11/22/04 where Alterra pays a fine of $2625.00 contingent upon no action
regarding Alterra's ECC/LNS license.

Alterra Sterling House of Tequesta I - Based on a July 26, 2004 survey, AHCA
imposed a fine of $500.00 for an alleged Class III deficiency for failing to
ensure that an up-to-date medication observation record (MOR) was maintained.
The residence appealed this fine as it may affect the residence's ECC or LNS
license. The appeal is currently pending.

Alterra Sterling House of Tequesta II - Based on an April 12, 2004 survey, AHCA
imposed a fine of $500.00 for an alleged Class III violation regarding training.
This is a repeat occurrence from an AHCA survey on April 16, 2002. The residence
appealed this fine as it may affect the residence's LNS license. On 8/5/04, an
agreement was made whereby Alterra will pay a fine of $375 to AHCA and Alterra
will not lose its ECC or LNS license. The fine was paid on 12/9/04.

On July 21, 2004, AHCA issued notice based upon an April 12, 2004 survey of
Notice of Intent to Deny its renewal application for the assisted living
licensed based upon previous citations of Alterra's residency agreement where it
states Alterra is not responsible for lost or stolen items. The residence
appealed this citation. On August 20, 2004 AHCA issued a notice stating they
have rescinded the deficiency and as such (through conversations with

                                      G-1

<PAGE>

counsel), AHCA is no longer pursing the revocation and the license has been
issued to the residence.

KANSAS

Sterling House of Hays - KDHE surveyed the residence on June 16, 2000, and
alleged that the residence failed to update the negotiated service agreement
based upon a change in condition. On July 13, 2000, KDHE imposed a ban on new
admissions which was lifted on July 31, 2000.

NEW YORK

REGULATORY

In June of 2001, the New York Department of Health ("DOH") concluded that
Alterra's look-alike" residences (Sterling House of Niagara and Sterling House
of Ithaca) needed to obtain enriched housing program licensure. The term
"look-alike" refers to the residences in which care is provided by a home care
agency and the residence itself is not licensed, but "looks like" a licensed
residence. Companies other than Alterra operate assisted living in New York on
the "look-alike" model. In October of 2001, the DOH required Alterra to file
applications for EHP licenses for these residences, which Alterra submitted
under protest. DOH has been processing these applications for the past 3 1/2
years. In the meantime, Alterra continues to operate under the "look-alike"
model. Alterra has no reason to believe that DOH will not approve the EHP
licenses.

In August of 2004, the New York legislature passed new assisted living
legislation that will require Alterra's "look-alikes" to become licensed as
Enriched Housing Programs. Fortunately, because of the above circumstances, the
EHP licensure process for the Alterra residences is well underway. Alterra
supported this legislation because it provides for "enhanced licenses" which
will allow the residences to retain the residents who currently exceed EHP
retention standards. The legislation, however, does include very broad "good
standing" language to obtain the "enhanced" licensure. Depending on how these
provisions are interpreted, any provider in New York may face challenges in
getting the "enhanced" licenses in their residences.

The law becomes effective on February 23, 2005. It requires that facilities that
must become licensed under the law must apply to DOH within 60 days of the law's
effective date. However, it is unclear how long it will take the Department of
Health to create a licensure application process. The legislation also creates a
task force to oversee the adult home and enriched housing program regulations,
which are predicted to take over a year. It is still unclear if DOH will approve
any "enhanced" licenses prior to promulgation of regulations to implement the
new law. It is also unclear as to what requirements or restrictions the DOH may
impose with respect to any lease and/or management agreement between the EHP
licensee and the fee owner or manager of the applicable residence.

                                    GUARANTY

            THIS GUARANTY ("GUARANTY") made as of December 31, 2004, by ALTERRA
HEALTHCARE CORPORATION ("GUARANTOR"), a Delaware corporation, to and for the
benefit of MERRILL LYNCH CAPITAL, a Division of Merrill Lynch Business Financial
Services Inc., a Delaware corporation, its successors and assigns ("LENDER").

                                 R E C I T A L S

            A. On or about the date hereof, AHC Purchaser Holding II, Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("BORROWER") and Lender entered into that certain Mezzanine
Loan Agreement ("LOAN AGREEMENT") whereby Lender agreed to make a loan (the
"LOAN") available to Borrower in the maximum aggregate principal amount at any
time outstanding not to exceed the sum of TEN MILLION and No/100ths Dollars
($10,000,000.00), to allow Owner to refinance the Projects. Capitalized terms
used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in
the Loan Agreement.

            B. In connection with the Loan, Borrower has executed and delivered
that certain Promissory Note (the "NOTE") in favor of Lender of even date
herewith in the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Loan, payment of which
is evidenced and secured by (i) a first priority collateral assignment of the
issued and outstanding stock in Borrower (the "ASSIGNMENT"), and (ii) the other
Loan Documents.

            C. Guarantor will derive material financial benefit from the Loan
evidenced and secured by the Note, the Assignment and the other Loan Documents.

            D. Lender has relied on the statements and agreements contained
herein in agreeing to make the Loan. The execution and delivery of this Guaranty
by Guarantor is a condition precedent to the making of the Loan by Lender.

                                   AGREEMENTS

            NOW, THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound, Guarantor, in
consideration of the matters described in the foregoing Recitals, which Recitals
are incorporated herein and made a part hereof, and for other good and valuable
consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, hereby
covenants and agrees for the benefit of Lender and its successors, indorsees,
transferees, participants and assigns as follows:

      1. Guarantor absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees:

            (a) the full and prompt payment of the principal of and interest on
      the Note when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or
      otherwise, and at all times thereafter, and the full and prompt payment of
      all sums which may now be or may hereafter become due and owing under the
      Note, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

<PAGE>

            (b) the prompt, full and complete performance of all of Borrower's
      obligations under each and every covenant contained in the Loan Documents;
      and

            (c) the full and prompt payment of any Enforcement Costs (as
      hereinafter defined in Section 7 hereof).

All amounts due, debts, liabilities and payment obligations described in
subsections (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 1 shall be hereinafter collectively
referred to as the "INDEBTEDNESS." All payments under this Guaranty must be made
in lawful money of the United States of America and in current funds. Any amount
received by the Lender from any collateral or security for the Loan Documents
may be applied by it towards any sums due under or in respect of the Loan
Documents, in such order of application as is provided for under the applicable
Loan Documents, or if not so provided for, then in such order as the Lender may
from time to time elect in its sole discretion. Subject to the preceding
sentence, the Lender shall have the right to determine how, when and what
application of payments and credits, whether derived from the Borrower or any
other source, shall be made on the amounts due Lender under the Loan Documents.
Without limiting any of the foregoing, Guarantor acknowledges and agrees it is
an Environmental Indemnitor (as defined in the Loan Agreement) and agrees to be
liable under (and in accordance with) the provisions of Article 6 of the Loan
Agreement for all liabilities and performance obligations of an Environmental
Indemnitor thereunder.

      2. In the event of any default by Borrower in the payment of the
Indebtedness, after the expiration of any applicable cure or grace period,
Guarantor agrees, on demand by Lender or any holder of the Note (which demand
may be made concurrently with notice to Borrower that Borrower is in default of
its obligations), to pay the Indebtedness regardless of any defense, right of
set-off or claims which Borrower or Guarantor may have against Lender or the
holder of the Note.

            All of the remedies set forth herein and/or provided for in any of
the other Loan Documents or at law or equity shall be equally available to
Lender, and the choice by Lender of one such alternative over another shall not
be subject to question or challenge by Guarantor or any other person, nor shall
any such choice be asserted as a defense, setoff, recoupment or failure to
mitigate damages in any action, proceeding, or counteraction by Lender to
recover or seeking any other remedy under this Guaranty, nor shall such choice
preclude Lender from subsequently electing to exercise a different remedy. The
parties have agreed to the alternative remedies provided herein in part because
they recognize that the choice of remedies in the event of a default hereunder
will necessarily be and should properly be a matter of good faith business
judgment, which the passage of time and events may or may not prove to have been
the best choice to maximize recovery by Lender at the lowest cost to Borrower
and/or Guarantor. It is the intention of the parties that such good faith choice
by Lender be given conclusive effect regardless of such subsequent developments.

            All sums payable under this Guaranty shall be payable (i) within
fifteen (15) days after demand thereof if no other date or time period for
payment is specified therein, and (ii) without reduction for any offset, claim,
counterclaim or defense.

                                        2
<PAGE>

      3. Guarantor does hereby (a) waive notice of acceptance of this Guaranty
by Lender and any and all notices and demands of every kind which may be
required to be given by any statute, rule or law, (b) agree to refrain from
asserting, until after repayment in full of the Loan, any defense, right of
set-off, right of recoupment or other claim which Guarantor may have against
Borrower, (c) waive any defense, right of set-off, right of recoupment or other
claim which Guarantor or Borrower may have against Lender or the holder of the
Note, (d) waive any and all rights Guarantor may have under any anti-deficiency
statute or other similar protections, (e) prior to the indefeasible payment in
full of the Indebtedness, waive all rights at law or in equity to seek
subrogation, contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement or
repayment from Borrower or any other person or entity now or hereafter primarily
or secondarily liable for any of the Indebtedness, (f) waive presentment for
payment, demand for payment, notice of nonpayment or dishonor, protest and
notice of protest, diligence in collection and any and all formalities which
otherwise might be legally required to charge Guarantor with liability, (g)
waive the benefit of all appraisement, valuation, marshalling, forbearance,
stay, extension, moratorium laws in effect, (h) waive any defense based on the
incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of any other person or entity
or the failure of Lender to file or enforce a claim against the estate of any
other person or entity in any administrative, bankruptcy or other proceeding,
(i) waive any defense based on an election of remedies by Lender, whether or not
such election may affect in any way the recourse, subrogation or other rights of
Guarantor against the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other person in
connection with the Indebtedness, (j) waive any failure by Lender to inform
Guarantor of any facts Lender may now or hereafter know about Borrower, the
Projects, the Loan, or the transactions contemplated by the Loan Agreement, it
being understood and agreed that Lender has no duty so to inform and that
Guarantor is fully responsible for being and remaining informed by Borrower of
all circumstances bearing on the risk of nonperformance of Borrower's
obligations, (k) waive any defense based on the failure of the Lender to (i)
provide notice to Guarantor of a sale or other disposition (including any
collateral sale pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code) of any of the security
for any of the Indebtedness, or (ii) conduct such a sale or disposition in a
commercially reasonable manner, (1) waive any defense based on the negligence of
the Lender in administering the Loan (including, but not limited to, the failure
to perfect any security interest in any collateral for the Loan), or taking or
failing to take any action in connection therewith, or based on the federal
Equal Credit Opportunity Act and applicable regulations or the Equal Credit
Opportunity Act and applicable regulations of any state, (m) waive the defense
of expiration of any statute of limitations affecting the liability of Guarantor
hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (n) waive any right to file any "Claim" (as
defined below) as part of, and any right to request consolidation of any action
or proceeding relating to a Claim with, any action or proceeding filed or
maintained by Lender to collect any indebtedness of Guarantor to Lender
hereunder or to exercise any rights or remedies available to Lender under the
Financing Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise, (o) agree that the Lender
shall have no obligation to obtain, perfect or retain a security interest in any
property to secure any of the Indebtedness or this Guaranty (including any
mortgage or security interest contemplated by the Loan Documents), or to protect
or insure any such property, (p) waive any obligation Lender may have to
disclose to Guarantor any facts the Lender now or hereafter may know or have
reasonably available to it regarding the Borrowers or their financial condition,
whether or not the Lender has a reasonable opportunity to communicate such facts
or has reason to believe that any such facts are unknown to Guarantor or
materially increase the risk to Guarantor beyond the risk Guarantor

                                        3
<PAGE>

intend to assume hereunder, and (q) agree that the Lender shall not be liable in
any way for any decrease in the value or marketability of any property securing
any of the Indebtedness which may result from any action or omission of the
Lender in enforcing any part of this Guaranty or any portion of the Loan. Credit
may be granted or continued from time to time by Lender to Borrower without
notice to or authorization from Guarantor, regardless of the financial or other
condition of Borrower at the time of any such grant or continuation. Lender
shall have no obligation to disclose or discuss with Guarantor its assessment of
the financial condition of Borrower. Guarantor acknowledges that no
representations of any kind whatsoever have been made by Lender. No modification
or waiver of any of the provisions of this Guaranty shall be binding upon Lender
except as expressly set forth in a writing duly signed and delivered by Lender.
For purposes of this section, the term "Claim" shall mean any claim, action or
cause of action, defense, counterclaim, set-off or right of recoupment of any
kind or nature against the Lender, its officers, directors, employees, agents,
members, actuaries, accountants, trustees or attorneys, or any affiliate of the
Lender in connection with the making, closing, administration, collection or
enforcement by the Lender of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note or the
obligations evidenced by the Loan Documents (including this Guaranty).

      4. Guarantor further agrees that Guarantor's liability as guarantor shall
not be impaired or affected by any renewals or extensions which may be made from
time to time, with or without the knowledge or consent of Guarantor, of the time
for payment of interest or principal under the Note or by any forbearance or
delay in collecting interest or principal under the Note, or by any waiver by
Lender under the Loan Agreement, the Assignment or any other Loan Document, or
by Lender's failure or election not to pursue any other remedies it may have
against Borrower or Guarantor, or by any change or modification in the Note,
Loan Agreement, the Assignment or any other Loan Document, or by the acceptance
by Lender of any additional security or any increase, substitution or change
therein, or by the release by Lender of any security or any withdrawal thereof
or decrease therein, or by the application of payments received from any source
to the payment of any obligation other than the Indebtedness even though Lender
might lawfully have elected to apply such payments to any part or all of the
Indebtedness, it being the intent hereof that, Guarantor shall remain liable for
the payment of the Indebtedness until the Indebtedness has been paid in full,
notwithstanding any act or thing which might otherwise operate as a legal or
equitable discharge of a surety. Guarantor further understands and agrees that
Lender may at any time enter into agreements with Borrower to amend and modify
and/or increase the principal amount of, interest rate applicable to or other
economic and non-economic terms of the Note, Loan Agreement, the Assignment or
other Loan Documents, and may waive or release any provision or provisions of
the Note, Loan Agreement, the Assignment or any other Loan Document, and, with
reference to such instruments, may make and enter into any such agreement or
agreements as Lender and Borrower may deem proper and desirable, without in any
manner impairing or affecting this Guaranty or any of Lender's rights hereunder
or Guarantor's obligations hereunder and Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall
apply to the Note, Loan Agreement, Mortgages and other Loan Documents as so
amended, modified, extended, renewed or increased.

      5. This is an absolute, present and continuing guaranty of payment and not
of collection. Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty may be enforced by Lender
without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any other
security or collateral given in connection herewith or with the Note, Loan
Agreement, the Assignment or any of the other Loan Document

                                        4
<PAGE>

through foreclosure or sale proceedings, as the case may be, under the
Assignment or otherwise, or resorting to any other guaranties, and Guarantor
hereby waives any right to require Lender to join Borrower in any action brought
hereunder or to commence any action against or obtain any judgment against
Borrower or to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right. Guarantor
further agrees that nothing contained herein or otherwise shall prevent Lender
from pursuing concurrently or successively all rights and remedies available to
it at law and/or in equity or under the Note, Loan Agreement, the Assignment or
any other Loan Document, and the exercise of any of Lender's rights or the
completion of any of Lender's remedies shall not constitute a discharge of
Guarantor's obligations hereunder, it being the purpose and intent of Guarantor
that the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute, independent and
unconditional under any and all circumstances whatsoever. None of Guarantor's
obligations under this Guaranty or any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall
be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by any
impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of
Borrower under the Note, Loan Agreement, the Assignment or other Loan Document
or by reason of the bankruptcy of Borrower or by reason of any creditor or
bankruptcy proceeding instituted by or against Borrower. This Guaranty shall
continue to be effective or be reinstated (as the case may be) if at any time
payment of all or any part of any sum payable pursuant to the Note, Loan
Agreement, the Assignment or any other Loan Document is rescinded or otherwise
required to be returned by Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution,
liquidation, or reorganization of Borrower, or upon or as a result of the
appointment of a receiver, intervenor, custodian or conservator of or trustee or
similar officer for, Borrower or any substantial part of its property, or
otherwise, all as though such payment to Lender had not been made, regardless of
whether Lender contested the order requiring the return of such payment. In the
event of the foreclosure of the Assignment and of a deficiency, Guarantor hereby
promises and agrees forthwith to pay the amount of such deficiency
notwithstanding the fact that recovery of said deficiency against Borrower would
not be allowed by applicable law; however, the foregoing shall not be deemed to
require that Lender institute foreclosure proceedings or otherwise resort to or
exhaust any other collateral or security prior to or concurrently with enforcing
this Guaranty.

      6. In the event Lender or any holder of the Note shall assign the Note to
any lender or other entity to secure a loan from such lender or other entity to
Lender or such holder for an amount not in excess of the amount which will be
due, from time to time, from Borrower to Lender under the Note with interest not
in excess of the rate of interest which is payable by Borrower to Lender under
the Note, Guarantor will accord full recognition thereto and agree that all
rights and remedies of Lender or such holder hereunder shall be enforceable
against Guarantor by such lender or other entity with the same force and effect
and to the same extent as would have been enforceable by Lender or such holder
but for such assignment; provided, however, that unless Lender shall otherwise
consent in writing, Lender shall have an unimpaired right, prior and superior to
that of its assignee or transferee, to enforce this Guaranty for Lender's
benefit to the extent any portion of the Indebtedness or any interest therein is
not assigned or transferred.

      7. If: (a) this Guaranty is placed in the hands of an attorney for
collection or is collected through any legal proceeding; (b) an attorney is
retained to represent Lender in any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, or
other proceedings affecting creditors' rights and involving a claim under this
Guaranty; (c) an attorney is retained to provide advice or other representation
with respect to this Guaranty; or (d) an attorney is retained to represent
Lender in

                                        5
<PAGE>

any proceedings whatsoever in connection with this Guaranty and Lender
prevails in any such proceedings, then Guarantor shall pay to Lender upon demand
all attorney's fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith (all of
which are referred to herein as "ENFORCEMENT COSTS"), in addition to all other
amounts due hereunder, regardless of whether all or a portion of such
Enforcement Costs are incurred in a single proceeding brought to enforce this
Guaranty as well as the other Loan Documents.

      8. The parties hereto intend and believe that each provision in this
Guaranty comports with all applicable local, state and federal laws and judicial
decisions. However, if any provision or provisions, or if any portion of any
provision or provisions, in this Guaranty is found by a court of law to be in
violation of any applicable local, state or federal ordinance, statute, law,
administrative or judicial decision, or public policy, and if such court should
declare such portion, provision or provisions of this Guaranty to be illegal,
invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable as written, then it is the intent of
all parties hereto that such portion, provision or provisions shall be given
force to the fullest possible extent that they are legal, valid and enforceable,
that the remainder of this Guaranty shall be construed as if such illegal,
invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable portion, provision or provisions were
not contained therein, and that the rights, obligations and interest of Lender
or the holder of the Note under the remainder of this Guaranty shall continue in
full force and effect.

      9. TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY
AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE MARSHALLING OF ASSETS BY LENDER. WITH RESPECT TO ANY
SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY (EACH, A "PROCEEDING"),
LENDER (BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF) AND GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY (A) SUBMITS TO THE
NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS HAVING JURISDICTION
IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO, COUNTY OF COOK AND STATE OF ILLINOIS, AND (B) WAIVES ANY
OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE AT ANY TIME TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY PROCEEDING
BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT, WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY PROCEEDING HAS BEEN BROUGHT
IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND FURTHER WAIVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT, WITH RESPECT TO
SUCH PROCEEDING, THAT SUCH COURT DOES NOT HAVE JURISDICTION OVER SUCH PARTY.
NOTHING IN THIS GUARANTY SHALL PRECLUDE LENDER FROM BRINGING A PROCEEDING IN ANY
OTHER JURISDICTION NOR WILL THE BRINGING OF A PROCEEDING IN ANY ONE OR MORE
JURISDICTIONS PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF A PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.
LENDER AND GUARANTOR FURTHER AGREE AND CONSENT THAT, IN ADDITION TO ANY METHODS
OF SERVICE OF PROCESS PROVIDED FOR UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ALL SERVICE OF PROCESS
IN ANY PROCEEDING IN ANY ILLINOIS STATE OR UNITED STATES COURT SITTING IN THE
CITY OF CHICAGO AND COUNTY OF COOK MAY BE MADE BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL,
RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, DIRECTED TO THE APPLICABLE PARTY AT THE ADDRESS
INDICATED BELOW, AND SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE COMPLETE UPON RECEIPT; EXCEPT THAT
IF SUCH PARTY SHALL REFUSE TO ACCEPT DELIVERY, SERVICE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETE
FIVE (5) DAYS AFTER THE SAME SHALL HAVE BEEN SO MAILED.

                                       6

      10. (a) Any indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor (including but not
limited to any right of Guarantor to a return of any capital contributed to a
Borrower), whether now or hereafter existing is hereby subordinated to the
payment of the Indebtedness and the Enforcement Costs. Guarantor agrees that,
until the entire Indebtedness has been paid in full, Guarantor will not seek,
accept, or retain for its own account, any payment from Borrower on account of
such subordinated debt. Any payments to Guarantor on account of such
subordinated debt shall be collected and received by Guarantor in trust for
Lender and shall be paid over to Lender on account of the Indebtedness without
impairing or releasing the obligations of Guarantor hereunder.

            (b) Guarantor shall promptly file in any bankruptcy or other
      proceeding in which the filing of claims is required by law, all claims
      and proofs of claims that Guarantor may have against the Borrower or any
      other guarantor and does hereby assign to the Lender or its nominee (and
      will, upon request of Lender, reconfirm in writing the assignment to
      Lender or its nominee of) all rights of Guarantor under such claims. If
      Guarantor does not file any such claim, Lender, as attorney-in-fact for
      Guarantor, is hereby irrevocably authorized to do so in the name of
      Guarantor, or in Lender's discretion, to assign the claim to a designee
      and cause proof of claim to be filed in the name of Lender's designee. In
      all such cases, whether in administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the
      person or persons authorized to pay such claim shall pay to Lender the
      full amount thereof and, to the full extent necessary for that purpose,
      Guarantor hereby assigns to the Lender all of Guarantor's rights to any
      such payments or distributions to which Guarantor would otherwise be
      entitled, such assignment being a present and irrevocable assignment of
      all such rights.

            (c) In the event (1) any of the Borrower or any other guarantor
      shall (i) file voluntarily or be filed against involuntarily for
      protection under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any other present or future
      federal or state act or law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, or other
      relief for debtors, (ii) have sought or consented to or acquiesced in the
      appointment of any trustee, receiver, conservator, or liquidator, or (iii)
      be the subject of any order, judgment, or decree entered by any court of
      competent jurisdiction approving a petition filed against such party for
      any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation,
      dissolution, or similar relief under any present or future federal or
      state act or law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, or relief for
      debtors, and (b) the automatic stay imposed by the applicable provisions
      of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or under any other applicable
      law, against the exercise of the rights and remedies otherwise available
      to creditors of the Borrower or such other guarantor is deemed by the
      court having jurisdiction to apply to Guarantor so that Guarantor is not
      permitted to pay Lender the Indebtedness and/or Lender may not immediately
      enforce the terms of this Guaranty or exercise such other rights and
      remedies against Guarantor as would otherwise be provided by law, Lender
      shall immediately be entitled, and Guarantor hereby consents, to relief
      from such stay, and Guarantor hereby authorizes and directs Lender to
      present this Guaranty to the applicable court to evidence this agreement
      and consent.

                                       7
<PAGE>

      11. Any amounts received by Lender from any source on account of the Loan
may be utilized by Lender for the payment of the Indebtedness and any other
obligations of Borrower to Lender in such order as Lender may from time to time
elect. Additionally, if the indebtedness guaranteed hereby is less than the full
indebtedness evidenced by the Note, all rents, proceeds and avails of the
Projects, including proceeds of realization of Lender's collateral, shall be
deemed applied on the indebtedness of Borrower to Lender that is not guaranteed
by Guarantor until such unguaranteed indebtedness of Borrower to Lender has been
fully repaid before being applied upon the indebtedness guaranteed by Guarantor.

      12. (a) It is expressly agreed that time is of the essence of this
Guaranty and every covenant and provision hereof, and that any of the following
shall be an "EVENT OF DEFAULT" under this Guaranty:

            (i) the dissolution of Guarantor;

            (ii) any "INSOLVENCY EVENT" (as defined below) with respect to
either Guarantor;

            (iii) any failure by Guarantor and/or Borrower to make any payment
when due hereunder or under the Note or any of the other Loan Documents (beyond
any applicable notice and/or grace period, if any), or the occurrence of any
other default with respect to any other obligation of or covenant by Guarantor
and/or Borrower under this Guaranty, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents
(beyond any applicable notice and/or grace period, if any); or

            (iv) any material inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made
by Guarantor, or any material omission of Guarantor, in connection with its
financial condition prior or subsequent to the date of this Guaranty, or any
material inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made by Guarantor in this
Guaranty or in any other Loan Document.

            (b) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under this Guaranty,
      there shall be deemed to have occurred a default and an "Event of Default"
      (as that term is used in any of the other Loan Documents) under each of
      the other Loan Documents, regardless of whether or not any portion of the
      Indebtedness may then be due and payable.

            (c) The term "Insolvency Event" shall mean any of the following:
      Guarantor makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, offers a
      composition or extension to creditors, or makes or sends notice of an
      intended bulk sale of any business or assets now or hereafter conducted or
      owned by Guarantor; Guarantor files a petition in bankruptcy; Guarantor is
      adjudicated insolvent or bankrupt, or petitions or applies to any tribunal
      for any receiver of or any trustee for itself or any substantial part of
      its property; Guarantor commences any proceeding relating to itself under
      any reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, dissolution or
      liquidation law or statute of any jurisdiction, whether now or hereafter
      in effect; any such proceeding is commenced against Guarantor and such
      proceeding remains undismissed for a period of sixty (60) days; Guarantor
      by any act indicates its consent to, approval of, or acquiescence in, any
      such proceeding or

                                        8
<PAGE>

      the appointment of any receiver of or any trustee for Guarantor or any
      substantial part of its property, or suffers any such receivership or
      trusteeship to continue undischarged for a period of sixty (60) days.

            (d) All grace periods under the Note, this Guaranty and/or the other
      Loan Documents shall run concurrently such that once any grace period has
      expired without the curing of the default in question, Lender shall be
      entitled to exercise any and all of the rights and remedies granted under
      the Note, this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents without the necessity
      of issuing any further notice or the granting of any further grace
      periods.

      13. GUARANTOR AND LENDER (BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF) EACH KNOWINGLY,
VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY CLAIM,
CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS
GUARANTY AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY ACTIONS
OR PROCEEDINGS FOR ENFORCEMENT OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS) AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH
ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.
GUARANTOR AND LENDER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO
ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH OF THEM HAS RELIED ON THIS WAIVER
IN ENTERING INTO THIS GUARANTY AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THAT EACH OF
THEM WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER IN THEIR RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS.
GUARANTOR AND LENDER EACH WARRANT AND REPRESENT THAT EACH HAS HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY OF REVIEWING THIS JURY WAIVER WITH LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT EACH
KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS.

      14. Any notice, demand, request or other communication which any party
hereto may be required or may desire to give hereunder shall be in writing and
shall be deemed to have been properly given (a) if hand delivered, when
delivered; (b) if mailed by United States Certified Mail (postage prepaid,
return receipt requested), three (3) Business Days after mailing (c) if by FedEx
or other reliable overnight courier service, on the next Business Day after
delivered to such courier service or (d) if by facsimile on the day of
transmission, if before 3:00 p.m. (Chicago Time) on a Business Day so long as

      15. To induce Lender to make the Loan, Guarantor makes the following
representations and warranties to Lender set forth in this Section. Guarantor
acknowledges that but for the truth and accuracy of the matters covered by the
following representations and warranties, Lender would not have agreed to make
the Loan.

            (a) Guarantor is duly formed, validly existing, and in good standing
      in its state of organization and has qualified to do business and is in
      good standing in any state in which it is necessary in the conduct of its
      business.

            (b) Guarantor maintains an office at the address set forth for such
      party in Section 14.

            (c) Any and all balance sheets, net worth statements, and other
      financial data with respect to Guarantor which have heretofore been given
      to Lender by or on behalf of Guarantor fairly and accurately present the
      financial condition of Guarantor in all material respects as of the
      respective dates thereof

            (d) The execution, delivery, and performance by Guarantor of this
      Guaranty does not and will not contravene or conflict with (i) any Laws,
      order, rule, regulation, writ, injunction or decree now in effect of any
      Government Authority, or court having jurisdiction over Guarantor, (ii)
      any contractual

                                       10
<PAGE>

      restriction binding on or affecting Guarantor or Guarantor's property or
      assets which may adversely affect Guarantor's ability to fulfill their
      obligations under this Guaranty, (iii) the instruments creating any trust
      holding title to any assets included in Guarantor's financial statements,
      or (iv) the organizational or other documents of Guarantor.

            (e) This Guaranty creates legal, valid, and binding obligations of
      Guarantor enforceable in accordance with its terms.

            (f) Except as disclosed in writing to Lender, there is no action,
      proceeding, or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of Guarantor,
      threatened or affecting Guarantor, which may adversely affect Guarantor's
      ability to fulfill its obligations under this Guaranty. There are no
      judgments or orders for the payment of money rendered against Guarantor
      for an amount in excess of $100,000.00 that have been undischarged for a
      period of ten (10) or more consecutive days and the enforcement of which
      is not stayed by reason of a pending appeal or otherwise other than the
      payments to be made to unsecured creditors pursuant to Guarantor's Plan of
      Reorganization, which payments shall not exceed $5,000,000 in aggregate.
      Guarantor is not in default under any agreements which may adversely
      affect Guarantor's ability to fulfill its obligations under this Guaranty.

            (g) All statements set forth in the Recitals are true and correct.

            All of the foregoing representations and warranties shall be deemed
remade on the date of the first disbursement of Loan proceeds, on the date of
each advance of Loan proceeds, and upon any extension of the Loan pursuant to
the Loan Agreement. Guarantor hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender
free and harmless from and against all loss, cost, liability, damage, and
expense, including attorney's fees and costs, which Lender may sustain by reason
of the inaccuracy or breach of any of the foregoing representations and
warranties as of the date the foregoing representations and warranties are made
and are remade.

      16. Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees as follows that, at all times
while this Guaranty or the Indebtedness remains outstanding:

            (a) Guarantor shall not incur any indebtedness to any of its
      shareholders or Affiliates (including, without limitation, any obligation
      to pay dividends (other than cash dividends paid not more than ten (10)
      days following their declaration) or to make payments of any other kind);
      provided, Guarantor shall not declare or pay any dividends at any time any
      Event of Default is continuing under the Loan Documents.

            (b) Guarantor shall maintain unrestricted cash and/or availability
      under lines of credit or revolving loan agreements reasonably acceptable
      to Lender in the aggregate amount of at least $10,000,000.00 (the
      "UNRESTRICTED CASH"); provided, however, that if the Fixed Charge Coverage
      Ratio for any two consecutive calendar quarters is equal to or greater
      than 1.10:1.0 then the amount

                                       11
<PAGE>

      of Unrestricted Cash Guarantor is required to maintain during the
      following calendar quarter pursuant to this paragraph shall be reduced to
      $8,000,000.00; and provided further, that such availability under a line
      of credit or revolving loan agreement shall only be taken into account in
      computing Unrestricted Cash if Guarantor may then borrow such amounts
      under such credit facilities without the need for any separate approval or
      any waiver of any condition under the terms of such credit facilities. All
      Unrestricted Cash shall be maintained in money market or deposit accounts
      or certificates of deposit in the name of Guarantor, which accounts or
      certificates shall not be subject to control agreements or otherwise be
      subject to any liens. Unrestricted Cash shall not include any funds
      constituting a security deposit or refundable portion of any move in or
      entrance fee with respect to any resident of any assisted living facility
      and/or Alzheimer's care facility (each, a "FACILITY"), a reserve or
      security for any obligation. For purposes of this Section 16(b), Fixed
      Charge Coverage Ratio shall be determined as provided in Section 16(c)
      below, except that instead of being determined prospectively (as provided
      in Section 16(c)), it shall for this purpose be determined by Lender
      quarterly based on a trailing three month basis.

            (c) Guarantor shall not enter into or permit a Fixed Charge Coverage
      Event to occur, unless on a prospective basis taking into account the
      prospective Fixed Charge Coverage Event, Lender reasonably determines that
      Guarantor's Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio will be equal to or greater than
      1:1. As used herein, "FIXED CHARGE COVERAGE RATIO" shall mean the ratio,
      as reasonably calculated by Lender on a prospective basis to take into
      account the proposed Fixed Charge Coverage Event and otherwise as
      reasonably determined by Lender, of (x) Guarantor's annual net income
      before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent
      calculated on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, but after
      deducting applicable management fees and capital expenditures ("ADJUSTED
      EBITDAR") to (y) all lease payments (including payments under capitalized
      leases) coming due, interest expense and scheduled principal amortization
      for a one-year period. As used herein, "FIXED CHARGE COVERAGE EVENT" shall
      mean any (i) dividend or other distribution of any kind by Guarantor to
      Guarantor's shareholders (except only dividends of approximately
      $75,000,000 (as adjusted as described in clause (i)(z) below) necessary
      for FEBC-ALT Investors LLC to repay (x) the loan made by the class A
      member of FEBC-ALT Investors LLC (the "CLASS A MEMBER") to FEBC-ALT
      Investors LLC, (y) the capital investment of the Class A Member in
      FEBC-ALT Investors LLC and (z) the interest on such loan and the preferred
      return on such capital investment to the Class A Member), (ii) asset
      acquisition (or series of related asset acquisitions which, in aggregate
      for all such related acquisitions, is) of $10,000,000 or more (provided,
      construction of expansion space at existing facilities will not be
      considered an asset acquisition for this purpose), (iii) any
      sale-leaseback transaction (or series of related sale-leaseback
      transactions) where the sale price (or aggregate sale price for all such
      related sale-leaseback transactions) is $10,000,000 or more, (iv)
      incurrence of any debt for borrowed money (other than refinancing existing
      debt) or (v) incurrence of any lease obligations (other than (A) renewals
      or extensions of existing leases pursuant to options to do so in the

                                       12
<PAGE>

      existing leases, (B) intercompany leases among Guarantor and its direct or
      indirect subsidiaries and (C) leases necessary for governmental
      compliance), whether or not such leases are capitalized. For all purposes
      of this Section 16(c), only payments actually due under leases shall be
      taken into account, and not so-called "straight-lined" lease payments for
      GAAP purposes.

      17. Guarantor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender all of the
Guarantor financial statements to be delivered in accordance with the terms of
the Loan Agreement. If Guarantor shall become insolvent or seek protection under
insolvency laws or proceedings, or any application shall be made to have
Guarantor declared bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver or trustee shall be
appointed for Guarantor or for all or a substantial part of the property of
Guarantor, or Guarantor shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors,
notice of such occurrence or event shall be promptly furnished to the Lender by
Guarantor.

      18. This Guaranty shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, legal and
personal representatives, successors and assigns of Guarantor and shall not be
discharged in whole or in part by dissolution of Guarantor.

      19. THIS GUARANTY, THE NOTE, AND ALL OTHER INSTRUMENTS EVIDENCING AND
SECURING THE LOAN SECURED HEREBY WERE NEGOTIATED IN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, AND
DELIVERED BY GUARANTOR OR BORROWER, AS APPLICABLE, AND ACCEPTED BY LENDER IN THE
STATE OF ILLINOIS, WHICH STATE THE PARTIES AGREE HAS A SUBSTANTIAL RELATIONSHIP
