RECITALS

A.    The Lender has agreed to make a loan in the principal amount of $1,500,000 (the “Loan”) to Woodland Manor Nursing, LLC and Glenvue H&R Nursing, LLC, each a Georgia limited liability company (collectively, the “Borrowers”), pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Loan and Security Agreement of even date herewith (the “Loan Agreement”) by and among the Borrowers and the Lender.  The Loan is evidenced by a Promissory Note of even date herewith (the “Note”) from the Borrowers to the Lender in the principal amount of $1,500,000.  All terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Loan Agreement.  
B.    As a condition precedent to the making of the Loan to the Borrowers by the Lender and in consideration therefor, the Lender has required the execution and delivery of this Guaranty by the Guarantor.
C.    The purpose of the Loan is to provide working capital financing for the Facilities described in the Loan Agreement.

AGREEMENTS

For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, the Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:
1.    Guaranty of Payment.  The Guarantor hereby unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment and performance when due, whether at stated maturity or by acceleration or otherwise, of the indebtedness and other obligations of the Borrowers to the Lender evidenced by the Note and any other amounts that may become owing by the Borrowers under the Loan Documents (such indebtedness, obligations and other amounts are hereinafter referred to as the “Payment Obligations”).  This Guaranty is a present and continuing guaranty of payment and not of collectability, and the Lender shall not be required to prosecute collection, enforcement or other remedies against the Borrowers,  the  Guarantor, or any other guarantor of the Payment Obligations, or to enforce or resort to any collateral for the repayment of the Payment Obligations or other rights or remedies pertaining thereto, before calling on the Guarantor for payment.  If for any reason the Borrowers shall fail or be unable to pay, punctually and fully, any of the Payment Obligations, the Guarantor shall jointly and 

- 1 -

severally pay such obligations to the Lender in full immediately upon demand.  One or more successive actions may be brought against the Guarantor, or any of them, as often as the Lender deems advisable, until all of the Payment Obligations are paid and performed in full.  The Payment Obligations and the Performance Obligations (as defined below) are referred to herein as the “Guaranteed Obligations.”
2.    Guaranty of Performance.  In addition to the guaranty of the Payment Obligations, the Guarantor hereby unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably guarantees, jointly and severally, (i) the full and prompt performance and observance by each Borrower of each and every other obligation, undertaking, liability, promise, warranty, covenant and agreement of each Borrower in and under the terms of the Loan Documents; and (ii) the truth of each and every representation and warranty made by each Borrower in the Loan Documents or in other certificates or documents delivered in connection with the Loan (the matters described in (i) and (ii) above being collectively referred to herein as the “Performance Obligations”).
3.    Representations and Warranties.  The following shall constitute representations and warranties of the Guarantor and the Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the Lender intends to make the Loan in reliance thereon:

The articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Guarantor, each as amended to date, copies of which have been furnished to the Lender, are in effect, have not been further amended, and are the true, correct and complete documents relating to the Guarantor’s creation and governance.
(b)    The Guarantor is not in default and no event has occurred that with the passage of time or the giving of notice will constitute a default under any agreement to which the Guarantor is a party, the effect of which will impair performance by the Guarantor of its obligations under this Guaranty.  Neither the execution and delivery of this Guaranty nor compliance with the terms and provisions hereof will violate any applicable law, rule, regulation, judgment, decree or order, or will conflict with or result in any breach of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Guarantor, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, instrument, document, agreement or contract of any kind that creates, represents, evidences or provides for any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of the Guarantor, or any other indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, instrument, document, agreement or contract of any kind to which the Guarantor is a party or to which the Guarantor or the property of the Guarantor may be subject.
(c)    There is no litigation, arbitration, governmental or administrative proceedings, actions, examinations, claims or demands pending, or to the Guarantor’s knowledge, threatened that could adversely affect performance by the Guarantor of its obligations under this Guaranty.

- 2 -

4.    Continuing Guaranty.

(j)    Any release or discharge by operation of law of any Borrower, the Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations from any obligation or agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents; or
(k)    Any other occurrence, circumstance, happening or event, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing and whether foreseen or unforeseen, which otherwise might constitute a legal or equitable defense or discharge of the liabilities of a guarantor or surety or which otherwise might limit recourse against any Borrower or the Guarantor to the fullest extent permitted by law.
5.    Waivers.  The Guarantor expressly and unconditionally waives (i) notice of any of the matters referred to in Section 4 above, (ii) all notices which may be required by statute, rule of law or otherwise, now or hereafter in effect, to preserve intact any rights against the Guarantor, including, without limitation, any demand, presentment and protest, proof of notice of non‐payment under any of the Loan Documents and notice of any Event of Default or any failure on the part of any Borrower, the Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations to perform or comply with any covenant, agreement, term or condition of any of the Loan Documents, (iii) any right to the enforcement, assertion or exercise against any Borrower, the Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations of any right or remedy conferred under any of the Loan Documents, (iv) any requirement of diligence on the part of any person or entity, (v) to the fullest extent permitted by law and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Guaranty or the other Loan Documents, any claims based on allegations that the Lender has failed to act in a commercially reasonable manner or failed to exercise the Lender’s obligation of good faith and fair dealing, (vi) any requirement to exhaust any remedies or to mitigate the damages resulting from any default under any of the Loan Documents, and (vii) any notice of any sale, transfer or other disposition of any right, title or interest of the Lender under any of the Loan Documents.

6.    Subordination.

Until the Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full and all periods under applicable bankruptcy law for the contest of any payment by the Guarantor or the Borrowers as a preferential or fraudulent payment have expired, the Guarantor knowingly, and with advice of counsel, waives, relinquishes, releases and abandons all rights and claims to indemnification, contribution, reimbursement, subrogation and payment which the Guarantor may now or hereafter have by and from any Borrower and the successors and assigns of any Borrower, for any payments made by the Guarantor to the Lender, including, without limitation, any rights which might allow any Borrower, any Borrower’s successors, a creditor of any 

- 4 -

Borrower, or a trustee in bankruptcy of any Borrower to claim in bankruptcy or any other similar proceedings that any payment made by any Borrower or any Borrower’s successors and assigns to the Lender was on behalf of or for the benefit of the Guarantor and that such payment is recoverable by any Borrower, a creditor or trustee in bankruptcy of any Borrower as a preferential payment, fraudulent conveyance, payment of an insider or any other classification of payment which may otherwise be recoverable from the Lender.
8.    Reinstatement.  The obligations of the Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or automatically be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or the Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty are rescinded or otherwise must be restored or returned by the Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Guarantor or any Borrower or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
9.    Financial Statements.  The Guarantor represents and warrants to the Lender that (i) the financial statements of the Guarantor previously submitted to the Lender are true, complete and correct in all material respects, disclose all actual and contingent liabilities, and fairly present the financial condition of the Guarantor, and do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a fact material to the financial statements submitted or this Guaranty, and (ii) no material adverse change has occurred in the financial statements from the dates thereof until the date hereof.  The Guarantor shall furnish to the Lender financial statements and other information as provided in Section 7.3 of the Loan Agreement.
10.    Transfers, Sales, Etc.  The Guarantor shall not sell, lease, transfer, convey or assign any of its assets, unless (i) if the Guarantor is a natural person, such sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or assignment is of a non-material asset of the Guarantor and will not have a material adverse effect on the Guarantor’s financial condition or (ii) if the Guarantor is a limited liability company, corporation, partnership or other entity, such sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or assignment will not have a material adverse effect on the business or financial condition of the Guarantor or its ability to perform its obligations hereunder.  
11.    Default; Remedies.  An Event of Default shall occur hereunder if the Guarantor shall fail to pay or perform any of its covenants, agreements and obligations hereunder, or if any representation or warranty contained herein shall prove to be untrue or incorrect in any material respect.

7.10    Restrictions on Transfer.
(a)    Each Borrower shall not effect, suffer or permit any Prohibited Transfer.  Any conveyance, sale, assignment, transfer, lien, pledge, mortgage, security interest or other encumbrance or alienation (or any agreement to do any of the foregoing) of any of the following properties or interests shall constitute a “Prohibited Transfer”:

- 27 -

and management of any Borrower or Guarantor that is not a natural person and/or owns a Controlling interest in any Borrower or any such Guarantor; provided, however, that this subparagraph shall not apply to AdCare; or
(vi)    If any Guarantor who is a natural person shall die or be declared a legal incompetent;
in each case whether any such conveyance, sale, assignment, transfer, lien, pledge, mortgage, security interest, encumbrance or alienation is effected directly, indirectly (including the nominee agreement), voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not apply to (i) liens securing obligations to Lender, or (ii) any transfers of any shares of stock or partnership or limited liability company interests, as the case may be, by or on behalf of an owner thereof who is deceased or declared judicially incompetent, to such owner’s heirs, legatees, devisees, executors, administrators, estate or personal representatives.  Any Borrower’s entering into or having in effect a Security Agreement creating Permitted FHA Liens, and entering into or having in effect a Regulatory Agreement - Nursing Homes in connection with the HUD Financing, shall not constitute a violation of this paragraph.
(b)    In determining whether or not to make the Loan, Lender evaluated the background and experience of each Borrower and its members in operating property such as the Facilities, found it acceptable and relied and continues to rely upon same as the means of maintaining the value of the Facilities.  Each Borrower and its members are well experienced in borrowing money and owning and operating property such as the Facilities, were ably represented by a licensed attorney at law in the negotiation and documentation of the Loan and bargained at arm’s length and without duress of any kind for all of the terms and conditions of the Loan, including this provision.  Each Borrower recognizes that Lender is entitled to keep its loan portfolio at current interest rates by either making new loans at such rates or collecting assumption fees and/or increasing the interest rate on a loan, the security for which is purchased by a party other than the original Borrowers.  In accordance with the foregoing, each Borrower agrees that if this Section is deemed a restraint on alienation, that it is a reasonable one.
7.11    Leasing, Operation and Management of Projects.
(a)    Each Project shall at all times be owned by Owner 1 or Owner 2, as applicable, leased by the respective Owner to Landlord under the Master Lease, and subleased by Landlord to the respective Borrower under the respective Lease (with the result that no Borrower shall own a Project).  Each Borrower shall not agree or consent to or suffer or permit any modification, amendment or termination of its Lease, and shall not suffer or permit any Event of Default on the part of such Borrower to exist at any time under its Lease.
(b)    Each Facility shall at all times be operated as a skilled nursing facility under the management of the applicable Borrower.
7.12    Minimum Coverage of Rent and Debt Service.  It is a condition of this Agreement and the Loan that for each fiscal quarter commencing with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2014, the ratio of -- 

- 28 -

(i)    the amount of the combined EBITDAR for Borrowers for such quarter, to
(ii)    the sum of the combined amount of the following for Borrowers for such quarter: (A) Rental Expense, plus (B) Debt Service,
shall be not less than 1.50 to 1.00.  Notwithstanding the definition of the term Net Income in Section 1.1 of this Agreement, the Net Income for each Borrower used in calculating EBITDAR of such Borrower for the purpose of this Section for any period, shall be computed by taking into account management fees equal to the greater of such Borrower’s actual management fees for such period or imputed management fees equal to 5% of such Borrower’s gross income for such period as determined in accordance with GAAP.
7.13    Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of Borrowers.  It is a condition of this Agreement and the Loan that as of the end of each fiscal quarter commencing with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2014, that the ratio of -- 
(i)    the amount of the combined EBITDAR for Borrowers for the 12-month period ending on the last day of such quarter, to
(ii)    the sum of the combined amounts of the following for Borrowers for the 12‐month period ending on the last day of such quarter: (A) Rental Expense, plus (B) Debt Service, plus (C) Distributions, other than any amounts which were treated as an expense for accounting purposes,
shall be not less than 1.05 to 1.00.  For the avoidance of doubt, (i) unlike Section 7.12 hereof, the Net Income for Borrowers used in calculating EBITDAR of Borrowers for the purpose of this Section for any period shall be computed by taking into account each Borrower’s actual management fees for such period only and not taking into account any imputed management fees.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, in the case of the fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2014, December 31, 2014, and March 30, 2015, the calculation of such ratio shall be made for the period commencing on July 1, 2014 and ending on the last day of such quarter, instead of for the full 12-month period ending on the last day of such quarter.
7.14    AdCare Leverage Ratio.  It is a condition of this Agreement and the Loan that for each fiscal year commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014, the ratio of -- 
(i)    the total amount of long term senior secured indebtedness of AdCare, including the current portion thereof, each as determined in accordance with GAAP, outstanding on the last day of such year, to
(ii)    the amount of EBITDA for AdCare for such year,
shall be not more than 11.00 to 1.00.
7.15    AdCare Debt Service Coverage Ratio.  It is a condition of this Agreement and the Loan that for each fiscal year commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014, the ratio of -- 

- 29 -

(i)    the amount of EBITDAR for AdCare for such year, to
(ii)    the total amount of Debt Service required to be paid by AdCare for such year,
shall be not less than 1.00 to 1.00.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, if such ratio for any fiscal year is less than 1.00 to 1.00, the condition provided for in this Section shall nevertheless be deemed to be satisfied if the amount of unencumbered, unrestricted cash shown as an asset in AdCare’s audited financial statements at the end of such fiscal year is not less than an amount equal to the sum of (i) $2,000,000, plus (ii) the total additional amount of EBITDAR for AdCare that would have been necessary in order for such ratio to have been not less than 1.00 to 1.00 for such fiscal year and for all prior fiscal years ending after on and after December 31, 2014 (the “Cumulative Shortfall”); provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of this sentence shall not apply if the Cumulative Shortfall is more than $3,000,000.
7.16    Security Interest Matters.  This Agreement is intended to be a security agreement under the Code for the purpose of creating the security interests provided for herein.  Borrowers shall execute and deliver such additional security agreements and other documents as Lender shall from time to time request in order to create and perfect such security interests.  Borrowers shall keep all of the Collateral free and clear of all other liens, security interests and encumbrances except Permitted FHA Liens.
7.17    Field Audits.  Borrowers shall permit Lender to inspect the Inventory, other tangible assets and/or other business operations of such Borrower, to perform appraisals of the Equipment of such Borrower, and to inspect, audit, check and make copies of, and extracts from, the books, records, computer data, computer programs, journals, orders, receipts, correspondence and other data relating to Inventory, Accounts and any other Collateral, the results of which must be satisfactory to Lender in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion.  All such inspections or audits by Lender shall be at Borrowers’ sole expense, other than inspections of the FHA Mortgagee’s Priority Collateral while the HUD Financing is in effect; provided, however, that in the case of any inspections or audits which are to be at Borrowers’ sole expense and which are performed at a time when there is no Default or Event of Default under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the expense to Borrowers for any such inspection or audit shall not exceed $15,000.
7.18    Collateral Records.  Each Borrower shall keep full and accurate books and records relating to the Collateral and shall mark such books and records to indicate Lender’s security interest in the Collateral, including placing a legend, in form and content acceptable to Lender, on all Chattel Paper created by such Borrower indicating that Lender has a security interest in such Chattel Paper.
7.19    Further Assurance.  Each Borrower, on request of Lender, from time to time, shall execute and deliver such documents as may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected as valid liens upon the Collateral the liens granted to Lender pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and to fully consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(a)    All Accounts;
(b)    All Books;
(c)    All Chattel Paper;
(d)    All Documents;
(e)    All General Intangibles (including payment intangibles and Software);
(f)    All Goods (including Inventory, Equipment and Fixtures);
(g)    All Instruments;
(h)    All Investment Property;
(i)    All Deposit Accounts of such Borrower, including the Deposit Account into which its governmental receivables are deposited (subject to any DAISA) and the Deposit Account into which the non-governmental receivables are deposited, and all other bank accounts and all deposits therein, but excluding its Lessee Rent Account;
(j)    All money, cash or cash equivalents of such Borrower;
(k)    All Supporting Obligations and Letter-of-Credit Rights of such Borrower;
(l)    Any and all commercial tort claims; and

- 31 -

of the foregoing and all accessions to, substitutions and replacements for, and rents and profits of, each of the foregoing.
In addition, Lender shall have a right of setoff against the property of such Borrower held by Lender consisting of property described above now or hereafter in the possession or custody of or in transit to Lender, for any purpose, including safekeeping, collection or pledge, for the account of such Borrower, or as to which such Borrower may have any right or power, provided however, that Lender hereby waives any right of set off or recoupment with respect to the Loan against any Lessee Rent Account.
8.2    Possession and Transfer of Collateral.  Unless an Event of Default exists hereunder, Borrowers shall be entitled to possession or use of the Collateral (other than Instruments or Documents, Tangible Chattel Paper, Investment Property consisting of certificated securities and other Collateral required to be delivered to Lender pursuant to this Article 8).  The cancellation or surrender of the Note, upon payment or otherwise, shall not affect the right of Lender to retain the Collateral for any other obligations secured by the Collateral.  Borrowers shall not sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise), license, lease or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to any of the Collateral, except that Borrowers may sell Inventory in the ordinary course of business and may create Permitted FHA Liens.
8.3    Preservation of the Collateral.  Lender may, but is not required, to take such actions from time to time as Lender deems appropriate to maintain or protect the Collateral.  Lender shall have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral if Lender takes such action as Borrowers shall reasonably request in writing which is not inconsistent with Lender’s status as a secured party, but the failure of Lender to comply with any such request shall not be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care; provided, however, Lender’s responsibility for the safekeeping of the Collateral shall (i) be deemed reasonable if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Lender accords its own property, and (ii) not extend to matters beyond the control of Lender, including acts of God, war, insurrection, riot or governmental actions.  In addition, any failure of Lender to preserve or protect any rights with respect to the Collateral against prior or third parties, or to do any act with respect to preservation of the Collateral, not so requested by Borrowers, shall not be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care in the custody or preservation of the Collateral.  Borrowers shall have the sole responsibility for taking such action as may be necessary, from time to time, to preserve all rights of Borrowers and Lender in the Collateral against prior or third parties.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, where Collateral consists in whole or in part of securities, each Borrower represents to, and covenants with, Lender that such Borrower has made arrangements for keeping informed of changes or potential changes affecting the securities (including rights to convert or subscribe, payment of dividends, reorganization or other exchanges, tender offers and voting rights), and each Borrower agrees that Lender shall have no responsibility or liability for informing such Borrower of any such or other changes or potential changes or for taking any action or omitting to take any action with respect thereto.
8.4    Other Actions as to Any and All Collateral.  Each Borrower further agrees to take any other action reasonably requested by Lender to ensure the attachment, perfection and priority as provided herein of, and the ability of Lender to enforce, Lender’s security interest in any and all 

- 32 -

of the Collateral, including (i) causing Lender’s name to be noted as secured party on any certificate of title for a titled good if such notation is a condition to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of Lender to enforce, Lender’s security interest in such Collateral, (ii) complying with any provision of any statute, regulation or treaty of the United States as to any Collateral if compliance with such provision is a condition to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of Lender to enforce, Lender’s security interest in such Collateral, (iii) obtaining governmental and other third party consents and approvals, including any consent of any licensor, lessor or other person obligated on Collateral, (iv) obtaining waivers from mortgagees and landlords in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, and (v) taking all actions required by the Code in effect from time to time or by other law, as applicable in any relevant Code jurisdiction, or by other law as applicable in any foreign jurisdiction.  Each Borrower further agrees to indemnify and hold Lender harmless against claims of any persons not a party to this Agreement concerning disputes arising over the Collateral.
8.5    Collateral in the Possession of a Warehouseman or Bailee.  If any of the Collateral at any time is in the possession of a warehouseman or bailee, Borrowers shall promptly notify Lender thereof, and shall promptly obtain an agreement acceptable to Lender under which such person acknowledges the security interest of Lender and waives any liens held by such person on such property.
8.6    Letter-of-Credit Rights.  If any Borrower, on its own behalf and not as agent for a client of such Borrower, at any time is a beneficiary under a letter of credit now or hereafter issued in favor of such Borrower, such Borrower shall promptly notify Lender thereof and, at the request and option of Lender, such Borrower shall, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, either (i) arrange for the issuer and any confirmer of such letter of credit to consent to an assignment to Lender of the proceeds of any drawing under the letter of credit, or (ii) arrange for Lender to become the transferee beneficiary of the letter of credit, with Lender agreeing, in each case, that the proceeds of any drawing under the letter to credit are to be applied as provided in this Agreement.
8.7    Commercial Tort Claims.  If any Borrower shall at any time hold or acquire a Commercial Tort Claim, such Borrower shall immediately notify Lender in writing signed by such Borrower of the details thereof and grant to Lender in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, and shall execute any amendments hereto deemed reasonably necessary by Lender to perfect its security interest in such Commercial Tort Claim.
8.8    Electronic Chattel Paper and Transferable Records.  If any Borrower at any time holds or acquires an interest in any electronic chattel paper or any “transferable record”, as that term is defined in Section 201 of the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or in Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction, such Borrower shall promptly notify Lender thereof and, at the request of Lender, shall take such action as Lender may reasonably request to vest in Lender control under Section 9-105 of the Code of such electronic chattel paper or control under Section 201 of the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or, as the case may be, Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as so in effect in such jurisdiction, of such transferable record.  Lender agrees with Borrowers that Lender will arrange, pursuant to procedures satisfactory to Lender and 

- 33 -

so long as such procedures will not result in Lender’s loss of control, for Borrowers to make alterations to the electronic chattel paper or transferable record permitted under Section 9-105 of the Code or, as the case may be, Section 201 of the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act for a party in control to make without loss of control.
8.9    Directions for Payment of Accounts to Account at Lender; Court Order for Payment of Accounts to Lender.
(a)    In the case of all Account Debtors which are State or federal government or private healthcare payment programs, including, without limitation, Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance companies, each Borrower shall at all times cause such Account Debtors to be directed to pay, and to pay, all Accounts, including, without limitation, all Health-Care-Insurance Receivables, to a deposit account in the name of such Borrower at Lender.  The failure of any Borrower to give any such direction, or the withdrawal by any Borrower of any such direction, shall constitute an immediate Event of Default.
(b)    In addition to all other remedies under the this Agreement and under applicable law, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender shall be entitled to an immediate order of court for the payment of all Accounts, including, without limitation, all Health-Care-Insurance Receivables, directly to Lender by all Account Debtors.

(iii)    If a failure described in (ii) above is of such a nature that it cannot reasonably be cured within such 30-day period, and if such failure is susceptible of cure, it shall not constitute an Event of Default if corrective action is instituted by Borrowers within such 30-day period and is diligently pursued and such failure is cured within 90 days after the occurrence of such failure;

LENDER’S REMEDIES UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT

11.1    Remedies Conferred upon Lender.  During the continuance of any Event of Default under this Agreement, Lender, in addition to all remedies conferred upon Lender by law and by the terms of the Note and the other Loan Documents, 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 others:
(a)    Withhold further disbursement of Loan Proceeds and terminate any of its obligations to Borrowers;
(b)    Declare the Note to be due and payable forthwith, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which Borrowers hereby expressly waive, and in the event of the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 10.1(h) or 10.1(i) of this Agreement, the Note shall automatically become due and payable immediately;
(c)    In addition to any rights of setoff that Lender may have under applicable law, without notice of any kind to Borrowers, appropriate and apply to the payment of the Note or of any sums due under this Agreement any and all balances, deposits, credits, accounts, certificates of deposit, instruments or money of any Borrower then or thereafter in the possession of Lender, other than in a Lessee Rent Account;
(d)    Exercise all of the rights of a secured party under the Code;

- 38 -

(e)    Exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists;
(f)    Instruct Borrowers, at their own expense, to notify any parties obligated on any of the Collateral, including any Account Debtors, to make payment directly to Lender of any amounts due or to become due thereunder, or Lender may directly notify such obligors of the security interest of Lender, or of the assignment to Lender of the Collateral and direct such obligors to make payment to Lender of any amounts due or to become due with respect thereto, and thereafter, collect any such amounts due on the Collateral directly from such persons obligated thereon, all except as otherwise restricted by law or other agreement with Borrowers or with FHA Mortgagee while the HUD Financing is in effect;
(g)    Enforce collection of any of the Collateral, including any Accounts, by suit or otherwise, or make any compromise or settlement with respect to any of the Collateral, or surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise, extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any indebtedness thereunder; or
(h)    Exercise or pursue any other remedy or cause of action permitted at law or in equity or under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including, but not limited to, enforcement of all Loan Documents.
11.2    Possession and Assembly of Collateral.  During the continuance of any Event of Default under this Agreement, Lender may, without notice, demand or legal process of any kind, take possession of any or all of the Collateral (in addition to Collateral of which Lender already has possession), wherever it may be found, and for that purpose may pursue the same wherever it may be found, and may at any time enter into any of the premises of any Borrower where any of the Collateral may be or is supposed to be, and search for, take possession of, remove, keep and store any of the Collateral until the same shall be sold or otherwise disposed of and Lender shall have the right to store and conduct a sale of the same in any of any Borrower’s premises without cost to Lender.

Borrowers acknowledge that Lender may be unable to effect a public sale of all or any portion of the Collateral because of certain legal and/or practical restrictions and provisions which may be applicable to the Collateral and, therefore, may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of offerees and purchasers.  Borrowers consent to any such private sale so made even though at places and upon terms less favorable than if the Collateral were sold at public sale.  Lender shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale.  Lender may apply the net proceeds, after deducting all costs, expenses, and reasonable fees of attorneys and paralegals incurred or paid at any time in the collection, protection and sale of the Collateral and the obligations secured by the Collateral, to the payment of the Note or any of the

other obligations secured by the Collateral, with the excess proceeds, if any, to be paid to Borrowers, subject to the rights of FHA Mortgagee as the holder of the FHA Permitted Liens if the HUD Financing is outstanding.  Borrowers shall remain liable for any amount remaining unpaid after such application, with interest at the Default Rate.  Any notification of intended disposition of the Collateral required by law shall be conclusively deemed reasonably and properly given if given by Lender at least 10 calendar days before the date of such disposition.  Borrowers hereby confirm, approve and ratify all acts and deeds of Lender relating to the foregoing, and each part thereof, and expressly waives any and all claims of any nature, kind or description which it have or may hereafter have against Lender or its representatives, by reason of taking, selling or collecting any portion of the Collateral.  Borrowers consent to releases of the Collateral at any time (including prior to default) and to sales of the Collateral in groups, parcels or portions, or as an entirety, as Lender shall deem appropriate.

Borrowers acknowledge that the purpose of this Section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Lender would not be commercially unreasonable in Lender’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Lender shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section.
