      1.2. Exhibits and Schedules; Additional Definitions. All Exhibits and
Schedules attached to this Agreement are a part hereof for all purposes.

      1.3. Amendment of Defined Instruments. Unless the context otherwise
requires or unless otherwise provided herein the terms defined in this Agreement
or any other Loan Document which refer to a particular agreement, instrument or
document also refer to and include all renewals, extensions, supplements,
modifications, amendments and restatements of such agreement, instrument or
document, provided that nothing contained in this section shall be

                                       15
<PAGE>

construed to authorize any such renewal, extension, supplement, modification,
amendment or restatement.

      1.4. References and Titles. All references in this Agreement to Exhibits,
Schedules, articles, sections, subsections and other subdivisions refer to the
Exhibits, Schedules, articles, sections, subsections and other subdivisions of
this Agreement unless expressly provided otherwise. Titles appearing at the
beginning of any subdivisions are for convenience only and do not constitute any
part of such subdivisions and shall be disregarded in construing the language
contained in such subdivisions. The words "THIS AGREEMENT", "THIS INSTRUMENT",
"HEREIN", "HEREOF", "HEREBY", "HEREUNDER" and words of similar import refer to
this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly
so limited. The phrases "THIS SECTION" and "THIS SUBSECTION" and similar phrases
refer only to the sections or subsections hereof in which such phrases occur.
The word "OR" is not exclusive, and the word "INCLUDING" (in its various forms)
means "INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION". Pronouns in masculine, feminine and neuter
genders shall be construed to include any other gender, and words in the
singular form shall be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless
the context otherwise requires. The foregoing shall apply to all Loan Documents.

      1.5. Calculations and Determinations. All calculations under the Loan
Documents of interest chargeable with respect to the Loan and of fees and other
charges shall be made on the basis of actual days elapsed (including the first
day but excluding the last) and a year of 360 days. Each determination by a Bank
Party of amounts to be paid under Sections 3.2 through 3.6 or with respect to
the Commercial Based Rate, LIBOR Based Rate, LIBOR Rate, Business Day, Interest
Period or Reserve Requirement, shall, in the absence of manifest error, be
conclusive and binding. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, or unless
Agent otherwise consents, all financial statements and reports furnished to any
Bank Party hereunder shall be prepared and all financial computations and
determinations pursuant hereto shall be made in accordance with GAAP.

      1.6. Joint Preparation; Construction of Indemnities and Releases. This
Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been reviewed and negotiated by
sophisticated parties with access to legal counsel and no rule of construction
shall apply hereto or thereto which would require or allow any Loan Document to
be construed against any party because of its role in drafting such Loan
Document. All indemnification and release provisions of this Agreement shall be
construed broadly (and not narrowly) in favor of the Persons receiving
indemnification or being released.

      1.7. Roles and Responsibilities. Many of the Loan Documents grant liens,
assignments, security interests, and rights to the "Agent and the Lenders" or
words of similar import. However, it's the intention of the Bank Parties that
the Agent will generally have the day to day responsibility for administering
the Loan and exercising the remedies under the Loan Documents (except those
which, by their nature or as required by Law, may only be exercised by a
Lender(s) [e.g., a setoff of funds]), provided however, in the event that an
"Agent" no longer exists for the Loan, the Lenders shall have the rights and
responsibilities of the "Agent" hereunder and, in such event, the Lenders agree
to endeavor to promptly appoint a successor entity to act as "Agent" under the
Loan Documents. Until written notice from the Lenders, Borrowers will assume the
Loan has an Agent. Upon written notice to Borrowers from the

                                       16
<PAGE>

Lenders that the Agent has resigned or been removed, then all references to
"Agent" herein will mean "Lenders" until such time as the Lenders appoint a
substitute Agent.

      1.8. Payments of Individual Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in the Loan Documents, none of the Borrowers (in their
capacity as borrowers of the Loan) shall have any personal liability for, nor be
responsible to pay, any amounts due under the Notes not executed by such
Borrower, provided however, that nothing in this paragraph will in any way
affect (a) the rights of Agent and Lenders in and to all collateral in which any
Borrower has granted a lien, security interest, assignment or pledge to secure
the Loan, (b) the rights of Agent and Lenders to exercise remedies against such
collateral upon any Event of Default, including without limitation, an Event of
Default by any other Borrower, or (c) the liability of a Borrower in a capacity
other than that of a borrower of the Loan, including without limitation, the
liability of Borrower Battery Park under the Collateral Guaranty.

                             ARTICLE II - The Loans

      2.1. Commitments to Lend. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the
Lenders agree to make loans to Borrowers in an amount up to $182,000,000 in the
aggregate (the "LOAN") based on the Notes Schedule. Amounts borrowed and repaid
hereunder may not be reborrowed hereunder.

      2.2. Repayment. The obligation of each Borrower to repay to each Lender
the aggregate amount of its portion of the Loan made by such Lender, together
with interest accruing in connection therewith, shall be evidenced by a Note.
The amount of principal owing on any Lender's Note at any given time shall be
the stated principal of such Note minus all payments of principal theretofore
received by such Lender on such Note. Interest on each Note shall accrue and be
due and payable as provided therein and herein. Each Note shall be due and
payable as provided therein and herein, and shall be due and payable in full on
the Maturity Date. Payment of the Notes is secured by this Agreement, Security
Instrument, Assignment of Leases and Rents and other Loan Documents.

      2.3. Use of Proceeds. In no event shall the Loan funds be used directly or
indirectly by any Person for personal, family, household or agricultural
purposes or for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of
purchasing, acquiring or carrying any "margin stock" or any "margin securities"
(as such terms are defined respectively in Regulation U and Regulation G
promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) or to
extend credit to others directly or indirectly for the purpose of purchasing or
carrying any such margin stock or margin securities. Borrowers represent and
warrant that Borrowers are not engaged principally, or as one of Borrowers'
important activities, in the business of extending credit to others for the
purpose of purchasing or carrying such margin stock or margin securities.

      2.4. Modification Fees. In consideration of Lenders' review and processing
of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Document, Borrowers
will pay to Agent all expenses associated with such modification in accordance
with Section 9.4.

      2.5. Fees. Prior to, or contemporaneously with, closing of the Loan,
Borrowers shall have paid to Agent (a) for the prorata benefit of the Lenders, a
commitment fee in the amount of

                                       17
<PAGE>

$1,365,000 for the Lenders committing funds to make the Loan and (b) for Agent's
sole benefit, a syndication fee in the amount of $250,000 as the consideration
for the Agent arranging the Loan. On the first Funding Date and on each annual
anniversary of the Funding Date (except the Maturity Date), Borrowers shall pay
to Agent an annual administration fee of $50,000 as the consideration for
administering the Loan.

      2.6. Interest.

            (a) Borrowers shall pay interest at the Commercial Based Rate or the
      LIBOR Based Rate as herein provided. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at
      any time the Applicable Rate exceeds the Maximum Rate, the rate of
      interest payable on the Principal Amount shall be limited to the Maximum
      Rate, but any subsequent reductions in the Commercial Based Rate or the
      LIBOR Based Rate, as the case may be, shall not reduce the Applicable Rate
      below the Maximum Rate until the total amount of interest accrued on the
      Principal Amount equals the total amount of interest which would have
      accrued at the Applicable Rate if the Applicable Rate had at all times
      been in effect.

            (b) The Principal Amount shall bear interest at the LIBOR Based Rate
      subject to Borrowers' or any Bank Parties' right to notify Agent under
      Sections 3.3, 3.4 and 3.6(c) that it desires application of the Commercial
      Based Rate upon expiration of the then current Interest Period. This
      Section 2.6(b) constitutes a LIBOR Request. It will not be necessary for
      Borrowers to submit further LIBOR Requests, except after any application
      of the Commercial Based Rate.

            (c) Any portion of the Principal Amount to which the LIBOR Based
      Rate is not or cannot, pursuant to the terms hereof, be applicable shall
      bear interest at the Commercial Based Rate.

      2.7. Default Rate; Late Charge. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, (a) the Principal Amount and all past due amounts under the
Loan Documents shall bear interest at the Default Rate (commencing from the date
such nonpayment becomes an Event of Default and continuing until payment), and
(b) a 5% late charge of each past due amounts under the Loan Documents will be
assessed on the date such nonpayment becomes an Event of Default, provided that
in no event shall such interest rate or late charge cause the applicable
interest rate to exceed the Maximum Rate as provided in Section 2.6(a); provided
however, the amount of any such late charge will be applied against the first
accruing Default Rate interest (i.e., the late charge will pay the first
accruing additional 5% interest).

      2.8. Payment of Principal and Interest.

            (a) Interest from the Funding Date through the last day of such
      month shall be due and payable on the Funding Date. Commencing on the
      second Payment Date following the Funding Date and on each Payment Date
      thereafter until the Loan is repaid in full, interest on the Principal
      Amount shall be due and payable in arrears. In the event an Extension
      Period is exercised, commencing on the first Payment Date after the
      commencement of an Extension Period, the Monthly Principal Installment
      Amount, plus

                                       18
<PAGE>

      such interest on the Principal Amount (whether computed at the Commercial
      Based Rate or the LIBOR Based Rate) shall be payable monthly on each
      subsequent Payment Date until the Loan is repaid in full or until the
      Maturity Date (as may be extended as provided herein), on which date the
      Principal Amount and accrued interest thereon and any other amounts
      secured by the Loan Documents shall be due and payable.

            (b) The acceptance by Agent of any payment after the date that such
      payment is due shall not constitute a waiver of the right to require
      prompt payment when due of future or succeeding payments or to declare an
      Event of Default as herein provided for any failure to so pay. The
      acceptance by a Bank Party of the payment of a portion of any installment
      at any time that such installment is due and payable in its entirety shall
      neither cure nor excuse the Event of Default caused by the failure to pay
      the whole of such installment and shall not constitute a waiver of the
      Bank Party's right to require full payment when due of all future or
      succeeding installments.

      2.9. Prepayment.

            (a) The Notes A may not be voluntarily prepaid, in whole or in part,
      at any time during the Lockout Period, except in connection with a
      Facility Release or an involuntary prepayment resulting from an
      application(s) of casualty or condemnation proceeds. After the expiration
      of the Lockout Period with respect to Notes A, and at any time with
      respect to Notes B, Borrowers shall have the right to prepay without
      penalty (except as set forth in (ii) below) at any such time and from time
      to time on a Payment Date prior to the Maturity Date, all or any part of
      the Principal Amount in increments of $100,000 (or payment in full of the
      Note) and/or all or any part of the unpaid interest accrued to the date of
      such prepayment, subject to compliance with the following requirements:

                  (i) written notice thereof is given to Agent at least 30 but
            not more than 60 days prior to the date to be fixed therein for
            prepayment, which notice once given shall be irrevocable;

                  (ii) payment of the Exit Fee; and

                  (iii) such prepayment is accompanied by all accrued interest
            on the amount prepaid (and any interest which has accrued at the
            Default Rate and other sums that may be then due and payable
            hereunder) and any prepayment of any portion of the Principal Amount
            then subject to the LIBOR Based Rate shall be accompanied by an
            amount equal to any losses, costs or expenses incurred by the Bank
            Parties in connection with such prepayment.

            (b) No portion of the Principal Amount repaid may be readvanced and
      any partial prepayment shall be applied in the manner provided in Section
      2.11(b); provided however, in the event a prepayment of principal is made
      as in (a) above, provided no Default exists and all accrued interest is
      paid on the Notes A and Notes B, Borrower may designate which class of
      Notes (i.e., Notes A or Notes B, but not individual Notes A or

                                       19
<PAGE>

      Notes B) such prepayment of principal will apply and such prepayment will
      be made prorata to such class of Notes.

            (c) With respect to a prepayment of the Notes as a result of a
      condemnation or casualty and the application of "Net Proceeds" or an
      "Award" as defined in the Security Instrument, such prepayment will be
      applied to the Notes on the affected Facility in the manner provided in
      Section 2.11(b); provided however, if no Default exists and all accrued
      interest is paid on the Notes A and Notes B, Borrower may designate which
      class of Notes (i.e., Notes A or Notes B, but not individual Notes A or
      Notes B) such prepayment of principal will apply and such prepayment will
      be made prorata to such class of Notes.

      2.10. Extension Periods. Borrowers shall have the right and option to
extend the Maturity Date (a) to a date ending upon the expiration of the First
Extension Period and (b) upon expiration of the First Extension Period, to a
date ending upon the expiration of the Second Extension Period, each such
extension being subject to the conditions that:

            (a) Borrowers shall have given Lender at least sixty (60) days'
      prior written notice of Borrowers' intention to extend the Maturity Date
      for each Extension Period;

            (b) Borrower shall pay to Agent, on the original Maturity Date or on
      the date of the expiration of the First Extension Period, as applicable,
      the Extension Fee for the prorata benefit of the Lenders, for each
      Extension Period;

            (c) no Default will have occurred and be continuing as of the date
      of Agent's receipt of notice of Borrowers' intention to extend the
      Maturity Date and as of the effective date of such Extension Period
      (without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Extension Period
      provided for herein will not be available at any time the Notes have
      matured, whether at scheduled maturity, by acceleration or otherwise);

            (d) Borrower shall have delivered to Agent, prior to the beginning
      of each Extension Period, evidence satisfactory to Agent that the
      Facilities have (i) achieved a Debt Coverage Ratio - Extension of at least
      1.35 to 1.00 for the six (6) consecutive month period immediately
      preceding the date of the notice in (a) above and immediately preceding
      first day of Extension Period and (ii) a cumulative Loan to Value Ratio of
      at least 75% as of the date of the notice provided in (a) above;

            (e) no Material Adverse Change - Portfolio has occurred and is
      continuing;

            (f) the terms of all Letters of Credit then held by Agent will be
      extended to a date not less than 30 days beyond the extended Maturity
      Date;

            (g) the terms of all Interest Rate Protection Agreements will be
      extended to a date not less than 30 days beyond the extended Maturity
      Date;

            (h) a Notes Resize(s) must have occurred which resizes all the Notes
      B into the Notes A; and

                                       20
<PAGE>

            (i) Borrower shall execute such agreements, documents and
      instruments as Agent may require to effect the Extension Period described
      herein, and deliver to Agent such consents, resolutions, certificates,
      estoppels, opinions of legal counsel, updated title report and
      endorsements to the Loan Policy Agent may require;

provided, however, the Second Extension Period will not come into effect unless
the First Extension Period shall have been in effect. Additionally, at the
commencement of each Extension Period, in the event an individual Facility has a
Loan to Value Ratio which is significantly more than 75%, a Lender may request a
reallocation (a "REALLOCATION") of the principal amounts of the Notes with
respect to each Facility to enable each Facility to individually satisfy a 75%
Loan to Value Ratio. To effectuate a Reallocation, Borrowers shall execute and
deliver new Notes to the Lenders upon return of the old Notes to Borrowers and
Schedule 2 attached hereto will be replaced. Borrowers shall also execute such
other instruments as Lenders shall reasonably require to effectuate a
Reallocation.

      2.11. Facility Release.

            (a) Borrowers may, from time to time, obtain releases of one or more
      Facilities (a "FACILITY RELEASE") from the lien and security interest
      created by the applicable Loan Document upon satisfaction of the following
      terms and conditions:

                  (i) the applicable Borrower shall submit to Agent a Facility
            Release request not less than sixty (60) days prior to the
            anticipated date of release;

                  (ii) if both Notes A and Notes B are outstanding, all
            remaining Facilities (i.e., all Facilities except the Facility
            concerning the requested Facility Release) must have achieved a Debt
            Coverage Ratio - Facility Release of at least 1.30 to 1.00 for the
            six (6) consecutive month period prior to date of the Facility
            Release;

                  (iii) if only Notes A are outstanding, all remaining
            Facilities (i.e., all Facilities except the Facility concerning the
            requested Facility Release) must have achieved a Debt Coverage Ratio
            - Facility Release of at least 1.35 to 1.00 for the six (6)
            consecutive month period prior to date of the Facility Release;

                  (iv) all remaining Facilities (i.e., all Facilities except the
            Facility concerning the requested Facility Release) must have a
            cumulative Loan to Value Ratio of at least 75%;

                  (v) all payments due under the applicable Notes have been paid
            (including without limitation payments due under 2.9(a) hereof) and
            the net proceeds of such Facility Release must be in an amount to
            satisfy the obligations in 2.11(b)(i) - (vi) below;

                  (vi) at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date of such
            Facility Release, the applicable Borrower shall deliver to Agent at
            such Borrower's expense (I) the form of the release of the
            applicable Security Instrument (which form of release must be
            reasonably satisfactory to Agent in form and substance); and (II)
            such

                                       21
<PAGE>

            further information and documentation regarding the Facility Release
            as Agent may reasonably request;

                  (vii) at the time of such Facility Release, no Event of
            Default exists; and

                  (viii) prior to or contemporaneously with the execution and
            delivery of the Facility Release, the applicable Borrower shall pay,
            or cause to be paid, all costs and expenses incident to the
            preparation of the Facility Release and the consummation of the
            transaction specified herein, including without limitation Loan
            Policy endorsement charges, recording fees, mortgage taxes, transfer
            taxes, any other applicable taxes and fees and expenses of legal
            counsel to Agent and the Lenders.

            (b) With respect to a Facility Release, all net proceeds received by
      the applicable Borrower (i.e., the gross proceeds less reasonable and
      customary closing costs) shall be paid in the following order:

                  (i) first to any reimbursements due Agent or the Lenders under
            Section 9.4,

                  (ii) second, to pay all accrued interest on the Notes A
            concerning such released Facility,

                  (iii) third, to pay all principal on the Notes A concerning
            such released Facility,

                  (iv) fourth, to pay all accrued interest on the Note B
            concerning such released Facility,

                  (v) fifth, to pay all principal on the Note B concerning such
            released Facility,

                  (vi) sixth, to pay the Exit Fee (if any is due);

                  (vii) seventh, to the extent net proceeds remain, to pay
            principal prorata on the Notes B concerning the other Facilities,
            until such Notes B are paid in full, and

                  (viii) eighth, to the extent net proceeds remain, to the
            applicable Borrower.

      2.12. Special Provisions Regarding Facility Battery Park .

                  (i) Borrower Battery Park has complied with all of its
            agreements contained in the Battery Park Purchased Loan Documents
            and has satisfied all of the conditions contained in the Battery
            Park Purchased Loan Documents on its part to be performed or
            satisfied at or prior to the date hereof.

                  (ii) To Borrower Battery Park's knowledge the prior
            agents/lenders have complied with all of their agreements contained
            in the Battery Park Purchased Loan Documents and have satisfied all
            of the conditions contained in the Battery Park Purchased Loan
            Documents on their part to be performed or satisfied at or prior to
            the date hereof.

                  (iii) There exists no default, event of default or
            circumstance which with the giving of notice or the lapse of time
            would constitute default or event of default under the Battery Park
            Purchased Loan Documents.

                  (iv) "Substantial Completion" (as defined in the Ground Lease)
            of the Facility Battery Park occurred, to the best of Borrower
            Battery Park's knowledge, on November 29, 2001.

            (b) Borrowers and Guarantor each hereby releases, remises, acquits

      connected to the Battery Park Purchased Loan Documents, including
      specifically but not limited to claims of usury.

      2.13. Notes Resize. Borrowers shall have the option, in their sole
discretion, to request one or more resizings (a "NOTES RESIZE") of the Notes
(i.e., request that a portion of the Loan evidenced by the Notes B be evidenced
by and subject to the terms applicable to the Notes A) (a "RESIZING REQUEST")
subject to the terms and conditions hereof to be effective on April 1, 2006,
April 1, 2007 or the original Maturity Date (i.e., April 1, 2008) (if Borrowers
have properly exercised the Extension Period). Borrowers' failure to elect a
Notes Resize will not preclude Borrowers from exercising any subsequent Notes
Resize.

            (a) Year One Resizing. To effectuate a Notes Resize effective April
      1, 2006, Borrowers, at their option, shall submit a Resizing Request, no
      later than February 15, 2006. Such Resizing Request shall include: (i) a
      certification from the Borrowers that no Default exists, (ii) the amount
      of the Notes B which Borrowers are requesting be reallocated to Notes A,
      and (iii) a statement and calculation that the Debt Coverage Ratio

                                       23
<PAGE>

      - Notes Resize based upon such proposed resized Notes A is at least 1.30
      to 1.00 and with respect to the entire Loan based upon such proposed
      resized Notes A and Notes B is at least 1.10 to 1.0 (both such Debt
      Coverage Ratios - Notes Resize being based on the six (6) consecutive
      month period immediately prior to the date of the Resizing Request).

            (b) Year Two Resizing. To effectuate a Notes Resize effective April
      1, 2007, Borrowers, at their option, shall submit a Resizing Request, no
      later February 15, 2007. Such Resizing Request shall include the
      following: (i) a certification from the Borrower that no Default exists,
      (ii) the amount of the Notes B which Borrowers are requesting be
      reallocated to Notes A, and (iii) a statement and calculation that the
      Debt Coverage Ratio - Notes Resize based upon such proposed resized Notes
      A is at least 1.45 to 1.00 and with respect to the entire Loan based upon
      such proposed resized Notes A and Notes B is at least 1.15 to 1.0 (both
      such Debt Coverage Ratios - Notes Resize being based on the six (6)
      consecutive month period immediately prior to the date of the Resizing
      Request).

            (c) Maturity Date Resizing. To effectuate the Notes Resize on April
      1, 2007, all the Notes A must be resized to include all the Notes B, and
      such resize will occur only if Borrowers satisfy the conditions to extend
      the Maturity Date set forth in Section 2.10 including without limitation
      the satisfaction of the Debt Service Coverage - Extension.

            (d) Upon confirmation by Agent of the accuracy of the information in
      any Resizing Request (or Extension request, as the case may be), effective
      as of April 1, 2006, April 1, 2007 or the original Maturity Date (i.e.,
      April 1, 2008), as the case may be, the amounts of the individual Notes
      (i.e., by Borrowers in favor of each Lender) will be apportioned by
      Lenders in generally the same manner as the original amount of the Notes
      (i.e., each Facility will generally have the same share of the Loan as
      before the Notes Resize). Borrowers shall then execute and deliver new
      Notes to the Lenders upon return of the old Notes to Borrowers and
      Schedule 2 attached hereto will be replaced. Borrowers shall also execute
      such other instruments as Lenders shall reasonably require to effectuate a
      Notes Resize.

      2.14. Exit Fee. The Exit Fee will be due and payable upon maturity either
on the Maturity Date or by acceleration caused by an Event of Default, in
addition to a Facility Release and a prepayment. The Exit Fee is payable to
GMACCM; provided however, that (a) if Borrower procures a permanent loan with or
through GMACCM or any Affiliate thereof (i.e., Borrower satisfies all
then-applicable underwriting and legal requirements of GMACCM or such Affiliate
for its permanent loan program and does, in fact close such loan), then the Exit
Fee shall be waived, and (b) in the event that the portion of the Loan
attributable to the Facility Battery Park is paid off in conjunction with a
conversion of the Facility Battery Park to condominiums and the sale thereof,
the portion of the Exit Fee attributable to the Facility Battery Park shall be
waived.

                       ARTICLE III - Payments to Lenders

      3.1. General Procedures. Borrowers will make each payment which it owes
under the Loan Documents to Agent for the account of the Bank Party to whom such
payment is owed.

                                       24
<PAGE>

Each such payment must be received by Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., Dallas,
Texas time, on the date such payment becomes due and payable, in lawful money of
the United States of America, without set-off, deduction or counterclaim, and in
immediately available funds. Any payment received by Agent after such time will
be deemed to have been made on the next following Business Day. Should any such
payment become due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity
of such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in
the case of a payment of principal or past due interest, interest shall accrue
and be payable thereon for the period of such extension as provided in the Loan
Document under which such payment is due. Each payment under a Loan Document
shall be due and payable at the place provided therein and, if no specific place
of payment is provided, shall be due and payable at the offices of Agent.

      3.2. Capital Reimbursement. If either (a) the introduction or
implementation of or the compliance with or any change in or in the
interpretation of any Law, or (b) the introduction or implementation of or the
compliance with any request, directive or guideline from any central bank or
other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of Law) affects or
would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any
Bank Party or any corporation controlling any Bank Party, then, upon demand by
such Bank Party, Borrowers will pay to Agent for the benefit of such Bank Party,
from time to time as specified by such Bank Party, such additional amount or
amounts which such Bank Party shall determine to be appropriate to compensate
such Bank Party or any corporation controlling such Bank Party in light of such
circumstances, to the extent that such Bank Party reasonably determines that the
amount of any such capital would be increased or the rate of return on any such
capital would be reduced by or in whole or in part based on the existence of the
face amount of such Bank Party's Notes, or participations in commitments under
this Agreement.

      3.3. Increased Cost of LIBOR Amounts. If any applicable Law (whether now
in effect or hereinafter enacted or promulgated, including Regulation D) or any
interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority charged
with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the
force of Law):

            (a) shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Bank Party
      of any principal, interest, or other amounts attributable to any LIBOR
      Amount or otherwise due under this Agreement in respect of any LIBOR
      Amount (other than taxes imposed on the overall net income of such Bank
      Party or any Lending Office of such Bank Party by any jurisdiction in
      which such Bank Party or any such Lending Office is located); or

            (b) shall change, impose, modify, apply or deem applicable any
      reserve, special deposit or similar requirements in respect of any LIBOR
      Amount (excluding those for which such Bank Party is fully compensated
      pursuant to adjustments made in the definition of LIBOR Based Rate) or
      against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended
      by, such Bank Party; or

            (c) shall impose on any Bank Party or the interbank LIBOR deposit
      market any other condition affecting any LIBOR Amount, the result of which
      is to increase the cost to any Bank Party of funding or maintaining any
      LIBOR Amount or to reduce the

                                       25
<PAGE>

      amount of any sum receivable by any Bank Party in respect of any LIBOR
      Amount by an amount deemed by such Bank Party to be material,

then such Bank Party shall promptly notify Agent and Borrowers in writing of the
happening of such event and of the amount required to compensate such Bank Party
for such event (on an after-tax basis, taking into account any taxes on such
compensation), whereupon (i) Borrowers shall pay such amount to Agent for the
account of such Bank Party and (ii) Borrowers may elect, by giving to Agent and
such Bank Party not less than three Business Days' notice, to convert all (but
not less than all) of any such LIBOR Amounts due to such Bank Party under all
Notes held by such Bank Party into Commercial Based Rate Amounts.

      3.4. Availability. If (a) any change in applicable Laws, or in the
interpretation or administration thereof of or in any jurisdiction whatsoever,
domestic or foreign, shall make it unlawful or impracticable for any Bank Party
to fund or maintain LIBOR Amounts, or shall materially restrict the authority of
any Bank Party to purchase or take offshore deposits of dollars or (b) any Bank
Party determines that matching deposits appropriate to fund or maintain any
LIBOR Amount are not available to it, or (c) any Bank Party determines that the
formula for calculating the LIBOR Based Rate does not fairly reflect the cost to
such Bank Party of making or maintaining loans based on such rate, then, upon
notice by such Bank Party to Borrowers and Agent, and to the extent and for the
duration of such illegality, impracticability or restriction, all LIBOR Amounts
of such Bank Party which are then outstanding and which cannot lawfully or
practicably be maintained or funded shall immediately become or remain, or shall
be funded as, Commercial Based Rate Amounts of such Bank Party. Borrowers agrees
to indemnify each Bank Party and hold it harmless against all costs, expenses,
claims, penalties, liabilities and damages which may result from any such change
in Law, interpretation or administration. Such indemnification shall be on an
after-tax basis, taking into account any taxes imposed on the amounts paid as
indemnity.

      3.5. Funding Losses. In addition to its other obligations hereunder,
Borrowers will indemnify each Bank Party against, and reimburse each Bank Party
on demand for, any loss or expense incurred or sustained by such Bank Party
(including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or
reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by a Bank Party to fund or
maintain LIBOR Amounts), as a result of (a) any payment or prepayment (whether
authorized or required hereunder or otherwise) of all or a portion of a LIBOR
Amount on a day other than the day on which the applicable Interest Period ends,
or (b) any conversion (whether authorized or required hereunder or otherwise) of
all of any LIBOR Amount to a Bank Party into a Commercial Based Rate Amount on a
day other than the day on which the applicable Interest Period ends. Such
indemnification shall be on an after-tax basis, taking into account any taxes
imposed on the amounts paid as indemnity.

      3.6. Reimbursable Taxes. Borrowers covenant and agree that:

            (a) Borrowers will indemnify each Bank Party against and reimburse
      each Bank Party for all present and future income, stamp and other taxes,
      levies, costs and charges whatsoever imposed, assessed, levied or
      collected on or in respect of this Agreement or any LIBOR Amount (whether
      or not legally or correctly imposed, assessed, levied or collected),
      excluding, however, any taxes imposed on or measured by

                                       26
<PAGE>

      the overall net income of Agent or such Bank Party or any Lending Office
      of such Bank Party by any jurisdiction in which such Bank Party or any
      such Lending Office is located (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, costs
      and charges, collectively "REIMBURSABLE TAXES"). Such indemnification
      shall be on an after-tax basis, taking into account any taxes imposed on
      the amounts paid as indemnity.

            (b) All payments on account of the principal of, and interest on,
      each Bank Party's Note, and all other amounts payable by Borrowers to any
      Bank Party hereunder, shall be made in full without set-off or
      counterclaim and shall be made free and clear of and without deductions or
      withholdings of any nature by reason of any Reimbursable Taxes, all of
      which will be for the account of Borrowers. In the event of Borrowers
      being compelled by Law to make any such deduction or withholding from any
      payment to any Bank Party, Borrowers shall pay on the due date of such
      payment, by way of additional interest, such additional amounts as are
      needed to cause the amount receivable by such Bank Party after such
      deduction or withholding to equal the amount which would have been
      receivable in the absence of such deduction or withholding. If Borrowers
      should make any deduction or withholding as aforesaid, Borrowers shall
      within 60 days thereafter forward to such Bank Party an official receipt
      or other official document evidencing payment of such deduction or
      withholding.

            (c) If Borrowers are ever required to pay any Reimbursable Tax with
      respect to any LIBOR Amount, Borrowers may elect, by giving to Agent and
      such Bank Party not less than three Business Days' notice, to convert all
      (but not less than all) of any such LIBOR Amount to such Bank Party under
      all Notes held by such Bank Party into a Commercial Based Rate Amount, but
      such election shall not diminish Borrowers' obligation to pay all
      Reimbursable Taxes.

            (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section,
      Borrowers shall be entitled, to the extent it is required to do so by Law,
      to deduct or withhold (and not to make any indemnification or
      reimbursement for) income or other similar taxes imposed by the United
      States of America (other than any portion thereof attributable to a change
      in federal income tax Laws effected after the date hereof) from interest,
      fees or other amounts payable hereunder for the account of any Bank Party,
      other than a Bank Party (i) who is a U.S. person for Federal income tax
      purposes or (ii) who has the Prescribed Forms on file with Agent (with
      copies provided to the Loan Parties) for the applicable year to the extent
      deduction or withholding of such taxes is not required as a result of the
      filing of such Prescribed Forms, provided that if Borrowers shall so
      deduct or withhold any such taxes, it shall provide a statement to Agent
      and such Bank Party, setting forth the amount of such taxes so deducted or
      withheld, the applicable rate and any other information or documentation
      which such Bank Party may reasonably request for assisting such Bank Party
      to obtain any allowable credits or deductions for the taxes so deducted or
      withheld in the jurisdiction or jurisdictions in which such Bank Party is
      subject to tax. As used in this section, "PRESCRIBED FORMS" means such
      duly executed forms or statements, and in such number of copies, which
      may, from time to time, be prescribed by Law and which, pursuant to
      applicable provisions of (x) an income tax treaty between the United
      States and the country of residence of the Bank Party providing the forms
      or statements, (y) the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time
      to

                                       27
<PAGE>

      time, or (z) any applicable rules or regulations thereunder, permit
      Borrowers to make payments hereunder for the account of such Bank Party
      free of such deduction or withholding of income or similar taxes.

      3.7. Reimbursement Requests. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to
the contrary, (i) no Bank Party shall be entitled to compensation or payment or
reimbursement of other amounts under Sections 3.2 through 3.6 incurred or
accruing more than ninety (90) days prior to the giving of notice to Borrowers
of additional costs or other amounts of the nature described in such Sections,
and (ii) no Bank Party shall demand compensation, payment or reimbursement under
Section 3.2 if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of
such Bank Party to demand such compensation, payment or reimbursement in similar
circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements.

                  ARTICLE IV - Conditions Precedent to Lending

      4.1. Loan Funding. No Lender has any obligation to fund its portion of the

      or circumstance shall have occurred since the date of acceptance by
      Borrower of Agent's term sheet for the Loan dated January 25, 2005 that
      could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change to, Loan
      Parties' financial condition or businesses.

            (h) The funding of such portion of the Loan shall not be prohibited
      by any Law and shall not subject any Lender to any penalty or other
      onerous condition under or pursuant to any such Law.

                   ARTICLE V - Representations and Warranties

      To confirm each Bank Party's understanding concerning Borrowers and
Borrowers' businesses, properties and obligations and to induce each Bank Party

a breach of any condition to the issuance, maintenance, renewal and/or
continuance thereof, (ii) the Facility Related Persons have paid all fees,
charges and other expenses to the extent due and payable with respect to, and
have provided all information and otherwise complied with all material

all other matters pertaining thereto.

      6.11. Solvency. Upon giving effect to the issuance of the Notes, the

further secure the Obligations, whenever requested by Agent in its sole and
absolute discretion, security agreements, financing statements and other loan

in any real or personal property which is at such time Collateral or which was
intended to be Collateral pursuant to any Loan Document previously executed and
not then released by Agent. Borrowers will from time to time deliver to Agent
any financing statements, continuation statements, extension agreements and
other documents, properly completed and executed (and acknowledged when

or special, time or demand, provisional or final) of Borrowers with any Bank
Party, and (c) any other credits and claims of Borrowers at any time existing

time and from time to time after the occurrence of any Event of Default, each
Bank Party is hereby authorized to foreclose upon, or to offset against the
Obligations then due and payable (in either case without notice to Borrowers),
any and all items hereinabove referred to. The remedies of foreclosure and
offset are separate and cumulative, and either may be exercised independently of
the other without regard to procedures or restrictions applicable to the other.

      6.14. Executive Order 13224. Neither Borrowers, nor any person or entity

limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar Laws of general application
relating to the enforcement of creditors' rights and general principles of
equity; the unpaid principal balance of the Notes; the date to which interest on
the Notes are paid; that the Notes and the other Loan Documents have not been
released, subordinated or modified; and that there are no offsets or defenses

      Facility, under which a Facility Related Person proposes (A) to develop a
      new facility or service, (B) change any existing facility or service, or
      (C) to eliminate any existing or proposed service, which action requires
      the Facility Related Person to seek either a certificate of need approval

      of any License or the issuance of any new License or certificate for a
      Facility; or

      take with respect thereto.

prior to the expiration of any period allowed by the Agency for correction. The
Borrowers shall, at Agent's request, promptly provide from time to time such
cost estimates, reports and other information as Agent may require to

financial and other ability to effect the correction and are taking the actions
required by this Section.

      6.26. Renewal of Agreements. The Borrowers will or will cause the Facility
Related Persons to take any and all steps necessary to renew all Resident

      6.27. Compliance with Healthcare Information Laws.

            (a) Without limiting the generality of any other provision of this
      Agreement including, without limitation, any other representation or
      warranty made herein, each of the Facility Related Persons and the
      Facilities is in compliance with all applicable statutes, laws,
      ordinances, rules and regulations of any federal, state or local
      governmental authority with respect to regulatory matters primarily
      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"). The
      Facility Related Persons have maintained and shall maintain in all
      material respects all records required to be maintained by any
      governmental agency or authority or otherwise under the Healthcare Laws
      and there are and shall be no presently existing circumstances which would
      result or likely would result in material violations of the Healthcare
      Laws. The Facility Related Persons have and will maintain such permits,
      licenses, franchises, certificates and other approvals or authorizations
      of governmental or regulatory authorities as are necessary under
      applicable Law to own each Facility and to conduct their respective
      business in connection with each Facility (including without limitation
      such permits as are required under such the Healthcare Laws).

            (b) To the extent that and for so long as (i) any of the Facility
      Related Persons is a "covered entity" within the meaning of HIPAA or (ii)
      any of the Facility Related Persons (with respect to its operation of the
      Facilities) and/or their respective business and operations (with respect
      to the Facility) are subject to or covered by the so-called
      "Administrative Simplification" provisions of HIPAA, Borrowers (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 the
      Facility Related Persons to be HIPAA Compliant (as defined below); (y) has
      developed or will promptly develop a detailed plan and time line for
      becoming HIPAA Compliant (a "HIPAA COMPLIANCE PLAN"); and (x) has
      implemented or will implement those provisions of such HIPAA Compliance
      Plan in all material respects necessary to ensure that the Facility
      Related Persons are or become HIPAA Compliant. For purposes hereof, "HIPAA
      COMPLIANT" shall mean that the Facility Related Persons (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,

                                       41
<PAGE>

      survey, process or 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 Borrowers' business, operations, assets,
      properties or condition (financial or otherwise), in connection with any
      actual or potential violation by the Facility Related Persons of the then
      effective provisions of HIPAA.

      6.28. Operating Budget. The applicable Borrower or Manager shall provide
Agent for its approval an annual Operating Budget no later than December 1 of
each year, which addresses all operating aspects of each Facility, including
capital expenditures, together with such additional information as Agent may
reasonably request concerning such proposed Operating Budget. Borrower agrees
that no material changes will be made to the Operating Budget without the prior
written approval of Agent. Each Facility will be operated in accordance with its
Operating Budget.

      6.29. Immediate Repair Obligations. Reference is made to the Facility
Review Reports listed on Schedule 3 attached hereto. Each Borrower covenants and
agrees to complete, or cause to be completed, the repair work (the "IMMEDIATE
REPAIRS") identified the applicable Facility Review Report within 90 days from
the date hereof and provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to Agent that the
Immediate Repairs have been completed, all of which shall be performed in a
manner satisfactory to Agent and shall be subject to inspection by Agent.
Failure to complete the Immediate Repairs in the manner and within the time
period set forth above shall constitute an Event of Default under this
Agreement.

      6.30. Debt Service Reserve.

            (a) As additional collateral for the obligations of the Borrowers
      under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall deposit with Agent, for the
      benefit of the Lenders, cash or Letter of Credit, at Borrower's option, in
      the amount of the Debt Service Reserve. The Debt Service Reserve, if cash,
      will be held by the Agent in an interest bearing account for the benefit
      of Borrowers.

            (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
      Default, Agent may, but shall not be obligated, to apply at any time and
      from time to time, all or a portion of the Debt Service Reserve, if cash
      (or draw upon the Debt Service Reserve, if a Letter of Credit, and apply
      the proceeds) against the Loan in whatever order Agent shall subjectively
      determine. Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, shall have a perfected
      security interest in the Debt Service Reserve as additional security to
      secure payment of the Notes and Borrowers shall execute and deliver to
      Agent such further financing statements and take such other action as
      Agent may require to evidence and/or perfect its security interest in the
      Debt Service Reserve, including, without limitation, if cash, the
      execution and delivery to Lender of a pledge and security agreement in
      form reasonably satisfactory to Agent. Borrowers hereby authorize Agent to
      file any financing statement or financing statement amendment covering the
      security interest created in the Debt Service Reserve without the
      signature of any Borrower.

                                       42

      6.31. Management of the Facilities. The management of each Facility shall
be by the applicable Manager under the applicable Management Agreement. Any
management agreement shall provide for a maximum allowable management fee of 4%
of gross revenues. In no event shall any Manager be removed or replaced or the
terms of any Management Agreement modified or amended without the prior written
consent of Agent and with respect to the Facility Battery Park, with the consent
of the Landlord under the Ground Lease. After an Event of Default or a default
under any Management Agreement then in effect, which default is not cured within
any applicable grace or cure period, Agent shall have the right to terminate, or
to direct Borrowers to terminate, such Management Agreement upon 60 days' notice
and to retain, or to direct Borrowers to retain, a new management agent approved
by Agent. It shall be a condition of Agent's consent to any management
agreement, whether with an affiliate of Borrowers or otherwise, that such
manager enter into an agreement with Agent whereby the manager acknowledges and
agrees to the aforesaid rights of Agent and as to such other matters as Agent
may reasonably require.

      6.32. Financial and Occupancy Covenants.

            (a) During the first year of the Loan, the Facilities must have
      achieved:

            1.00 to 1.00 concerning Notes A and Notes B, for each calendar
            quarter, measured as an average over such calendar quarter (i.e., on
            June 30, 2005, September 30, 2005, December 31, 2005, and March 31,
            2006); and

                  (ii) a minimum aggregate Occupancy Ratio of at least 75%
            measured as an average over such calendar quarter (i.e., on June 30,
            2005, September 30, 2005, December 31, 2005, and March 31, 2006).

            (b) During the second and each subsequent year of the Loan, the
      Facilities must have achieved:

                  (i) both a Debt Coverage Ratio - Actual of at least 1.25 to
            1.00 concerning Notes A and, and if Notes B are outstanding, Debt
            Coverage Ratio - Actual of at least 1.10 to 1.00 concerning Notes A
            and Notes B, for each calendar quarter, measured as an average over
            such calendar quarter (i.e., on June 30, 2006, September 30, 2006,
            December 31, 2006, and March 31, 2007, and so on); and

                  (ii) a minimum aggregate Occupancy Ratio of at least 80%
            measured as an average over such calendar quarter (i.e., on June 30,
            2006, September 30, 2006, December 31, 2006, and March 31, 2007, and
            so on).

            (c) If the Facilities fail to meet the covenants in (a) or (b)
      above, the Borrowers may prevent an Event of Default from occurring as a
      result of such failure if Borrowers deliver to Agent prior to the due date
      of the statements which would report such Event of Default:

                                       43
<PAGE>

                  (i) with respect to any first failure, (A) a fee in the amount
            of $100,000, which fee will not be applied to any Obligations and
            will be retained by the Lenders prorata as consideration for waiving
            the Event of Default and (B) $500,000 deposited into the Debt
            Service Reserve and pledged as additional collateral for the Loan
            (pursuant to a pledge agreement in form and content acceptable to
            Agent) and may be in the form of a Letter of Credit (the "ADDITIONAL
            COLLATERAL"); or

                  (ii) with respect to any second failure, (A) a fee in the
            amount of $150,000, which fee will not be applied to any Obligations
            and will be retained by the Lenders prorata as consideration for
            waiving the Event of Default and (B) $1,000,000 deposited into the
            Debt Service Reserve and pledged as additional collateral for the
            Loan (pursuant to a pledge agreement in form and content acceptable
            to Agent) and may be in the form of a Letter of Credit (also
            "ADDITIONAL COLLATERAL").

            (d) Following deposit of the Additional Collateral and if the
      financial covenants in (a) or (b) above are subsequently satisfied for two
      (2) consecutive calendar quarters, any Additional Collateral not
      previously applied to the Obligations as provided in (e) below will be
      released to Borrowers.

            (e) Any third (or subsequent) failure to meet the financial
      covenants in (a) or (b) above is not capable of being cured by the payment
      of money or deposit of Additional Collateral, will constitute an Event of
      Default and the Additional Collateral may be applied to the Obligations in
      the manner provided in Section 2.11(b). Additionally, if an Event of
      Default occurs other than the failure to meet the financial covenants in
      (a) or (b) above, the Additional Collateral may be applied to the
      Obligations in the manner provided in Section 2.11(b).

      6.33. Licenses and Contracts. As additional security for payment of the
Loan and performance of the Obligations, Borrowers hereby transfer and assign to
Agent and the Lenders and grants to Agent and the Lenders, to the extent
assignable, a lien on and security interest in all of Borrowers' rights, title
and interest in, but not its obligations under, the Licenses and Contracts upon
the following terms and conditions:

            (a) Neither this assignment nor any action by Agent or the Lenders
      will constitute an assumption by Agent or the Lenders of any obligations
      under the Licenses and Contracts, and Borrowers shall continue to be
      liable for all obligations of Borrowers thereunder. Each Borrower agrees
      to perform all of its obligations under the Licenses and Contracts and to
      enforce the performance of each and every obligation in the Licenses and
      Contracts to be performed by any other party thereto.

            (b) Agent shall have the right at any time (but shall have no
      obligation) to take, in its name or in the name of a Borrower, such action
      as Agent may at any time determine to be necessary or advisable to cure
      any default by a Borrower under Licenses and Contracts or to protect the
      rights of Borrowers or Agent thereunder.

                                       44
<PAGE>

            (c) Each Borrower irrevocably authorizes Agent to enforce all rights
      of Borrowers under Licenses and Contracts during any period in which an
      uncured Event of Default exists; provided, however, Agent shall have no
      obligation to enforce such rights.

            (d) Prior to an Event of Default, Borrowers shall have the right to
      exercise its rights as owner under the Licenses and Contracts; provided,
      however, Borrowers shall not cancel, amend, modify or waive any provision
      of the Licenses and Contracts or do, or suffer to be done, any act which
      would impair the security constituted by this assignment without the prior
      written consent of Agent.

            (e) Borrowers have obtained all third party consents which are or
      may be required in respect of this assignment, which consents must be in
      form and substance satisfactory to Agent.

Each Borrower hereby authorizes Agent to file any financing statement or
financing statement amendment covering the security interest created in this
section without the signature of such Borrower.

      6.34. Capital Expenditures. Each Borrower shall make average capital
expenditures for its Facility of $300 per unit per year, and within forty-five
(45) days of the end of each calendar year, provide evidence thereof
satisfactory to Agent. In the event that a Borrower fails to do so, each such
Borrower shall, upon Agent's written request, immediately establish and maintain
a capital expenditures reserve fund with Agent equal to the difference between
the required amount per unit and the amount per unit actually spent by such
Borrower (the "CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT ACCOUNT"). Each Borrower grants to Agent a
right of setoff against all moneys in the Capital Improvement Account, and shall
not permit any other Lien to exist upon such account. The proceeds of the
Capital Improvement Account will be additional collateral for the Loan and be
disbursed upon Agent's receipt of satisfactory evidence that Borrower has made
the required capital expenditures. During the continuance of an Event of Default
concerning Borrower's obligation to maintain its Facility in good condition and
repair, Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make such capital expenditures
and may apply the moneys in the Capital Improvement Account for such purpose.
During the continuance of an Event of Default concerning Borrower's obligation
to maintain its Facility in good condition and repair, to the extent there are
insufficient moneys in the Capital Improvement Account for such purposes, all
funds advanced by Agent to make such capital expenditures shall constitute a
portion of the Loan, shall be secured by the Loan Documents and shall accrue
interest at the Default Rate until paid. During the continuance of any other
Event of Default, Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, setoff and apply any
funds in Capital Improvement Account to the payment of the Loan.

                        ARTICLE VII - Negative Covenants

      To conform with the terms and conditions under which each Bank Party is
willing to have credit outstanding to Borrowers, and to induce each Bank Party

                                       45
<PAGE>

Agreement, Borrowers warrant, covenant and agree that until the full and final
payment of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement:

      7.1. Borrowers' Entity Ownership Structure. Borrowers acknowledge that
Agent and Lenders have examined and relied on the creditworthiness and
experience of Borrowers and their ultimate corporate parent, Guarantor, in
owning and operating properties such as the Facilities in agreeing to make the
Loan. Except as permitted in the last sentence of this Section 7.1, no Borrower
will permit a sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or
similar transfer in the direct or indirect ownership interests in the Facilities
or in the Borrowers or any constituent member(s) thereof without the prior
written consent of Agent, which consent may be withheld in Agent's sole
discretion, provided, notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no
restriction on transfers of direct or indirect ownership interests in Guarantor.
Agent shall not be required to demonstrate any actual impairment of Lenders'
security or any increased risk of default hereunder in order to declare the Loan
immediately due and payable upon Borrowers' sale, conveyance, alienation,
mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer as prohibited by this Section 7.1
without Agent's written consent. This provision shall apply to every sale,
conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer prohibited by
this Section 7.1 regardless of whether voluntary or not, or whether or not Agent
has consented to any previous sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage,
encumbrance, pledge or transfer. A sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage,
encumbrance, pledge or transfer within the meaning of this Section includes,
with respect to Borrowers and any constituent members of Borrowers (a) any
merger or consolidation of such entity or of any entity directly or indirectly
(at any tier) controlling such entity, (b) the change, removal or resignation of
a managing member or of a non-member manager (or if no managing member or
non-member manager, any member), or the direct or indirect (at any tier)
transfer of the legal or beneficial ownership of membership interests or "units"
of a managing member or of a non-member manager (or if no managing member or
non-member manager, any member) or any profits or proceeds relating to such
membership interests or "units", (c) the voluntary or involuntary sale,
exchange, conveyance or direct or indirect (at any tier) transfer of membership
interests or "units" in such limited liability company, or the creation or
issuance of new membership interests or "units" in one or a series of
transactions, in any such case the result of which is that an aggregate of more
than forty-nine percent (49%) of such company's membership interests or "units"
shall be vested, legally or beneficially, in a party or parties who are not now
members, or (d) the removal, resignation or substitution of the Manager or the
merger, consolidation or voluntary or involuntary sale, exchange, conveyance or
direct or indirect (at any tier) transfer of the controlling interest in the
Manager's stock, partnership interests or membership interests, as applicable,
from parties who are not now currently holders of such ownership interests. A
sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer of
Borrowers' interests in the Facilities is restricted as set forth in Section
8.1(i)(2). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
following transactions are specifically permitted (w) transfer(s) of 100% of the
ownership interests in Borrower Battery Park to Brookdale Development, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company, (x) an initial public offering (an "IPO") of
Guarantor or the 100% direct or indirect owner of Guarantor (the "IPO Entity"),
and in connection therewith the contribution by the owner of Guarantor of its
ownership interests in Guarantor to the IPO Entity, (y) the transfer of
ownership interests in the IPO Entity or (z) direct or indirect transfers of the
ownership interests in Guarantor, provided that Guarantor, in the case of (1)
transactions under clause (x) and (2) transactions under clause (z) that involve
the transfer of in excess of 49% of the ownership

                                       46
<PAGE>

interests in Guarantor provides Agent at least thirty (30) days prior written
notice of such transfer.

      7.2. Limitation on Mergers, Issuances of Securities. No Borrower will
liquidate or merge or consolidate with or into any other business entity.

      7.3. Limitation on Additional Debt. No Borrower will create, assume, incur
or suffer to exist any Liabilities other than

            (b) trade payables and accrued expenses, each arising in the
      ordinary course of business.

            (d) Borrowers have not incurred and will not incur any indebtedness,
      including any leases or other financing for equipment, secured or

      member in, or an affiliate of, Borrowers), other than the Loan, FF&E
      Financing and trade and operational debt (not including any FF&E
      Financing) provided such trade and operational debt is incurred in the
      ordinary course of business with trade creditors and in amounts as are
      customary and reasonable under the circumstances. Except with Agent's
      prior written approval in each instance, no indebtedness other than the
      Loan is or shall be secured by the Facilities. Agent's approval shall be
      granted or withheld at Agent's sole discretion.

            (e) Borrowers have not made and will not make any loans or advances
      to any third party (including any constituent party, Guarantor or any
      affiliate of Borrowers, or any constituent of Guarantor), except in de
      minimus amounts in the ordinary course of business and of the character of
      trade or operational expenses.

            (f) Borrowers have done or caused to be done, and will do or cause

      otherwise change the partnership

                                       47
<PAGE>

      certificate, partnership agreement, operating agreement, articles of
      organization or other organizational documents, as the case may be, of
      Borrowers or Guarantor in a manner which would adversely affect Borrowers'
      existence as a single purpose entity.

            (g) Borrowers will maintain books and records and bank accounts
      separate from those of its affiliates and any constituent party, and
      Borrowers and Guarantor each will file or cause to be filed separate tax

      out to the public as, a legal entity separate and distinct from any other
      entity (including any affiliate or constituent party of Borrowers or any
      affiliate or constituent party of Guarantor), and will use and conduct its
      business in its own name.

            (i) Neither Borrowers nor any constituent party will cause or seek
      the dissolution or winding up, in whole or in part, of Borrowers.

            (j) Borrowers will not commingle their funds (except in accordance
      with the central cash management system disclosed to Agent) and other
      assets with those of, or pledge its assets for the benefit of, any
      affiliate or constituent party of Borrowers, any affiliate or constituent
      party of Guarantor, or any other person.

            (k) Borrowers do not or will not hold themselves out to be
      responsible for the debts or obligations of any other person and does not

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in subsection (e)(i),
(e)(ii), or (e)(iii) of this section, all of the Obligations shall thereupon be
immediately due and payable, without demand, presentment, notice of demand or of
dishonor and nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, notice of intention to
accelerate, declaration or notice of acceleration, or any other notice or
declaration of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrowers.
During the continuance of any other Event of Default, Agent at any time and from
time to time may, without notice to Borrowers, declare any or all of the
Obligations immediately due and payable, and all such Obligations shall
thereupon be immediately due and payable, without demand, presentment, notice of
demand or of dishonor and nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, notice of
intention to accelerate, declaration or notice of acceleration, or any other
notice or declaration of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by
Borrowers.

      8.2. Remedies. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, each
Bank Party may protect and enforce its rights under the Loan Documents by any
appropriate proceedings, including proceedings for specific performance of any
covenant or agreement contained in any Loan Document, and each Bank Party may
enforce the payment of any Obligations due it or enforce any other legal or
equitable right which it may have. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender may
exercise any right or remedy granted to Agent unless pursuant to Section 1.7.

      8.3. General Remedy Parameters. The remedies under this Agreement are
cumulative with the remedies provided in the other Loan Documents, by Law or in
equity and may be exercised independently, concurrently or successively in
Agent's sole discretion and as often as occasion therefor may arise. Agent's
delay or failure to accelerate the Loan or exercise any other remedy upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default shall not be deemed a waiver of such right as
remedy. No partial exercise by Agent of any right or remedy will preclude
further exercise thereof. Notice or demand given to Borrowers in any instance
will not entitle Borrowers to notice or demand in similar or other circumstances
nor constitute Agent's waiver of its right to take any future action in any
circumstance without notice or demand (except where expressly required by this
Agreement to be given). Agent may release other security for the Loan, may
release any party liable for the Loan, may grant extensions, renewals or
forbearances with respect thereto, may accept a partial or past due payment or
grant other indulgences, or may apply any other security held by it to payment
of the Debt, in each case without prejudice to its rights under this Agreement
and without such action being deemed an accord and satisfaction or a
reinstatement of the Loan. Agent will not be deemed as a consequence of its
delay or failure to act, or any forbearances granted, to have waived or be
estopped from exercising any of its rights or remedies.

      8.4. Special Interest Rate Protection Agreement Remedies. If an Event of
Default exists as a result of the failure to maintain the Interest Rate
Protection Agreement as provided herein, Agent may, but is not required to,
obtain the interest rate protection which should have been afforded by the
Interest Rate Protection Agreement, which protection will be at Borrower's sole
cost and expense and in form and content acceptable to Agent in its discretion.
Even if such Event of Default is cured, Agent may, but is not required to,
maintain, such protection through the Maturity Date, as it may be extended.

                           ARTICLE IX - Miscellaneous

      9.1. Waivers and Amendments; Entire Understanding; Acknowledgments.

            (a) Waivers and Amendments; Entire Understanding. No failure or
      delay (whether by course of conduct or otherwise) by any Bank Party in
      exercising any right, power or remedy which such Bank Party may have under
      any of the Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any
      other right, power or remedy, nor shall any single or partial exercise by
      any Bank Party of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or
      further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or remedy. No waiver
      of any provision of any Loan Document and no consent to any departure
      therefrom shall ever be effective unless it is in writing and signed as
      provided below in this section, and then such waiver or consent shall be
      effective only in the specific instances and for the purposes for which
      given and to the extent specified in such writing. No notice to or demand
      on any Loan Party shall in any case of itself entitle any Loan Party to
      any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
      This Agreement and the other Loan Documents set forth the entire
      understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the transactions
      contemplated herein and therein and supersede all prior discussions and
      understandings with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and
      no waiver, consent, release, modification or amendment of or supplement to
      this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be valid or effective
      against any party hereto unless the same is in writing and signed by (i)
      if such party is a Loan Party, by such Loan Party, (ii) if such party is
      Agent, by Agent, and (iii) if such party is a Lender, by such Lender or by
      Agent on behalf of such Lender.

            (b) Acknowledgments and Admissions. Each Loan Party hereby
      represents, warrants, acknowledges and admits that (i) it has been advised
      by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of the Loan
      Documents to which it is a party, (ii) it has made an independent decision
      to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a
      party, without reliance on any representation, warranty, covenant or
      undertaking by Agent or any Lender, whether written, oral or implicit,
      other than as expressly set out in this Agreement or in another Loan
      Document delivered on or after the date hereof, (iii) there are no
      representations, warranties, covenants, undertakings or agreements by any
      Bank Party as to the Loan Documents except as expressly set out in this
      Agreement or in another Loan Document delivered on or after the date
      hereof, (iv) no Bank Party has any fiduciary obligation toward any Loan
      Party with respect to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated
      thereby, (v) the relationship pursuant to the Loan Documents between a
      Loan Party, on one hand, and each Bank Party, on the other hand, is and
      shall be solely that of debtor and creditor, respectively, (vi) no
      partnership or joint venture exists with respect to the Loan Documents
      between any Loan Party and any Bank Party, (vii) Agent is not any Loan
      Party's Agent, but Agent for Lenders, (viii) should an Event of Default or
      Default occur or exist, each Bank Party will determine in its sole
      discretion and for its own reasons what remedies and actions it will or
      will not exercise or take at that time, (ix) without limiting any of the
      foregoing, no Loan Party is relying upon any representation or covenant by
      any Bank Party, or any representative thereof, and no such representation
      or covenant has been made, that any Bank Party will, at the time of an
      Event of Default or

                                       54
<PAGE>

      Default, or at any other time, waive, negotiate, discuss, or take or
      refrain from taking any action permitted under the Loan Documents with
      respect to any such Event of Default or Default or any other provision of
      the Loan Documents, and (x) all Bank Parties have relied upon the
      truthfulness of the acknowledgments in this section in deciding to execute
      and deliver this Agreement and to become obligated hereunder.

            (c) Joint Acknowledgment. THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN
      DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE
      CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL
      AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.

      THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

      9.2. Survival of Agreements; Cumulative Nature. Borrowers' various
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in the Loan Documents
shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and the performance hereof and thereof, including the delivery of the
Notes and the other Loan Documents, and shall further survive until all of the
Obligations are paid in full to each Bank Party and all of Bank Parties'
obligations to Borrowers are terminated. All statements and agreements contained
in any certificate or other instrument delivered by Borrowers to any Bank Party
under any Loan Document shall be deemed representations and warranties by
Borrowers or agreements and covenants of Borrowers under this Agreement. The
representations, warranties, indemnities, and covenants made by Borrowers in the
Loan Documents, and the rights, powers, and privileges granted to Bank Parties
in the Loan Documents, are cumulative, and, except for expressly specified
waivers and consents, no Loan Document shall be construed in the context of
another to diminish, nullify, or otherwise reduce the benefit to any Bank Party
of any such representation, warranty, indemnity, covenant, right, power or
privilege. In particular and without limitation, no exception set out in this
Agreement to any representation, warranty, indemnity, or covenant herein
contained shall apply to any similar representation, warranty, indemnity, or
covenant contained in any other Loan Document, and each such similar
representation, warranty, indemnity, or covenant shall be subject only to those
exceptions which are expressly made applicable to it by the terms of the various
Loan Documents.

      9.3. Notices. All notices, requests, consents, demands and other
communications required or permitted under any Loan Document shall be in
writing, unless otherwise specifically provided in such Loan Document (provided
that Agent may give telephonic notices to the other Bank Parties), and shall be
deemed sufficiently given or furnished if delivered by personal delivery, by
delivery service with proof of delivery, or by registered or certified United
States mail, postage prepaid, to the applicable Borrower at the address of
Borrowers specified on the signature pages hereto and to each Bank Party at its
address specified on the signature pages hereto (unless changed by similar
notice in writing given by the particular Person whose address is to be
changed). Any such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been given
(a) in the case of personal delivery or delivery service, as of the date of
first attempted delivery during normal business hours at the address provided
herein, or (b) in the case of registered or certified United States mail, three
(3) days after deposit in the mail. Agent shall be entitled to rely and act

                                       55
<PAGE>

upon notices purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrowers even if (a) such
notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not
preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (b) the
terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation
thereof. Borrowers shall indemnify each Bank Party from all losses, costs,
expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such person on each
notice purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrowers. Telephonic notices to and
other communications with Agent may be recorded by Agent and the parties hereto
hereby consent to such recording.

      9.4. Payment of Expenses; Indemnity.

            (a) Payment of Expenses. Whether or not the transactions
      contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, Borrowers will promptly

      Documents (including and Protective Advance and this section) (other than
      enforcement or defense against another Bank Party) or the defense of any
      Bank Party's exercise of its rights thereunder (other than enforcement or
      defense against another Bank Party). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
      Borrowers will not be obligated to reimburse (I) the first $25,000 of
      legal fees of GMACCM/GMACCM Bank with respect to the closing of the Loan
      or (II) any third party consultants or engineers engaged only by GMACCM or
      GMACCM Bank.

            (b) Indemnity. Borrowers agrees to indemnify each Bank Party, upon
      demand, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, claims,
      losses, damages, penalties, fines, actions, judgments, suits, settlements,
      costs, expenses or disbursements (including reasonable fees of attorneys,
      accountants, experts and advisors) of any kind or nature whatsoever
      (collectively, "LIABILITIES AND COSTS") which to any extent (in whole or
      in part) may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Bank
      Party growing out of, resulting from or in any other way associated with
      any of the Collateral, the Loan Documents or the transactions and events
      (including the enforcement or defense thereof) at any time associated
      therewith or contemplated therein.

                                       56
<PAGE>

      THE FOREGOING INDEMNIFICATION SHALL APPLY WHETHER OR NOT SUCH LIABILITIES
      AND COSTS ARE IN ANY WAY OR TO ANY EXTENT OWED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, UNDER
      ANY CLAIM OR THEORY OF STRICT LIABILITY, OR ARE CAUSED, IN WHOLE OR IN
      PART, BY ANY NEGLIGENT ACT OR OMISSION OF ANY KIND BY ANY BANK PARTY,

      provided only that no Bank Party shall be entitled under this section to
      receive indemnification for that portion, if any, of any liabilities and
      costs which is proximately caused by its own individual gross negligence
      or willful misconduct, as determined in a final judgment. If any Person
      (including a Loan Party or any of its Affiliates) ever alleges such gross
      negligence or willful misconduct by any Bank Party, the indemnification
      provided for in this section shall nonetheless be paid upon demand,
      subject to later adjustment or reimbursement, until such time as a court
      of competent jurisdiction enters a final judgment as to the extent and
      effect of the alleged gross negligence or willful misconduct. As used in
      this section, the term "Bank Parties" shall refer not only to the Persons
      designated as such in Section 1.1 but also to each director, officer,
      agent, attorney, employee, representative and Affiliate of such Persons.

      9.5. Joint and Several Liability. All Obligations which are incurred by
two or more Persons shall be their joint and several obligations and
liabilities.

      9.6. Parties in Interest/Assignments. All grants, covenants and agreements
contained in the Loan Documents shall bind and inure to the benefit of the
parties thereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however,
that no Loan Party may assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber any of its
rights or delegate any of its duties or obligations under any Loan Document
without the prior consent of Agent. Borrowers hereby consent to Lender's
assignment, transfer, pledge or other encumbrance of the Loan Documents or any
interest therein and to the dissemination to such assignee, transferee, pledgee
or encumbrancee of any information it has pertaining to the Loan. No Loan Party
nor any Affiliates of a Loan Party shall directly or indirectly purchase any
Obligations owed to any Lender. Borrowers will agree to such modifications to
the Loan Documents as will facilitate an assignment, transfer, pledge or other
encumbrance (in whole or in part) of a Lender's duties hereunder, provided that
such modifications will not materially add to the obligations, or decrease the
rights, of Borrowers. It is understood that any such assignment, transfer,
pledge or other encumbrance in whole or in part by Lender will not result in
additional expenses to Borrowers. Borrowers shall execute such instruments as
Lenders shall reasonably require to effectuate such assignment, transfer, pledge
or other encumbrance.

      9.7. Confidentiality. Any obligations of confidentiality contained herein
or in the Loan Documents, as they relate to the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (the "TRANSACTION"), shall not apply
to the federal tax structure or federal tax treatment of the Transaction, and
each party hereto (and any employee, representative, agent of any party hereto)
may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the federal
tax structure and federal tax treatment of the Transaction. The preceding
sentence is intended to cause the Transaction to be treated as not having been
offered under conditions of confidentiality for purposes of Section
1.6011-4(b)(3) (or any successor provision) of the Treasury Regulations
promulgated under Section 6011 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
and shall be

                                       57
<PAGE>

construed in a manner consistent with such purpose. In addition, each party
hereto acknowledges that it has no proprietary or exclusive rights to the
federal tax structure of the Transaction or any federal tax matter or federal
tax idea related to the Transaction.

      9.8. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE
RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL IN ALL
RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS
OF THE STATE OF TEXAS (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO TEXAS' PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS
OF LAW) AND THE LAW OF THE UNITED STATES APPLICABLE TO TRANSACTIONS IN SUCH
STATE EXCEPT FOR THOSE PROVISIONS IN THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS
PERTAINING TO THE CREATION, PERFECTION OR VALIDITY OF OR EXECUTION ON LIENS OR
SECURITY INTERESTS ON PROPERTY LOCATED IN THE STATE WHERE THE APPLICABLE
PROPERTY IS LOCATED, WHICH PROVISIONS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE WHERE THE APPLICABLE PROPERTY IS LOCATED
AND APPLICABLE UNITED STATES FEDERAL LAW.

      9.9. Consent to Forum. BORROWERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE
NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS SITTING IN THE STATE
OF TEXAS AND THE STATE IN WHICH THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED AND AGREES AND CONSENTS
THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE UPON IT IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING RELATING TO
THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE OBLIGATIONS BY ANY MEANS ALLOWED UNDER TEXAS OR
FEDERAL LAW. ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO ANY OF
THE LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE BROUGHT AND LITIGATED EXCLUSIVELY IN THE UNITED
STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS, DALLAS DIVISION, TO
THE EXTENT IT HAS SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION, AND OTHERWISE IN THE TEXAS
DISTRICT COURTS SITTING IN DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS. THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVE
AND AGREE NOT TO ASSERT, BY WAY OF MOTION, AS A DEFENSE OR OTHERWISE, THAT ANY
SUCH PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM OR THAT THE VENUE THEREOF IS
IMPROPER, AND FURTHER AGREE TO A TRANSFER OF ANY SUCH PROCEEDING TO A FEDERAL
COURT SITTING IN THE STATE OF TEXAS TO THE EXTENT THAT IT HAS SUBJECT MATTER
JURISDICTION, AND OTHERWISE TO A STATE COURT IN DALLAS, TEXAS. IN FURTHERANCE
THEREOF, BORROWERS AND BANK PARTIES EACH HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT IT
WAS NOT INCONVENIENT FOR THEM TO NEGOTIATE AND RECEIVE FUNDING OF THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT IN SUCH COUNTY AND THAT IT WILL BE
NEITHER INCONVENIENT NOR UNFAIR TO LITIGATE OR OTHERWISE RESOLVE ANY DISPUTES OR
CLAIMS IN A COURT SITTING IN SUCH COUNTY.

      9.10. Limitation on Interest. Bank Parties, Borrowers and any other
parties to the Loan Documents intend to contract in strict compliance with
applicable usury law from time to time in

                                       58
<PAGE>

effect. In furtherance thereof such Persons stipulate and agree that none of the
terms and provisions contained in the Loan Documents shall ever be construed to
create a contract to pay, for the use, forbearance or detention of money,
interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted to be charged by
applicable law from time to time in effect. Neither Borrowers nor any present or
future guarantors, endorsers, or other Persons hereafter becoming liable for
payment of any Obligation shall ever be liable for unearned interest thereon or
shall ever be required to pay interest thereon in excess of the maximum amount
that may be lawfully charged under applicable law from time to time in effect,
and the provisions of this section shall control over all other provisions of
the Loan Documents which may be in conflict or apparent conflict herewith. The
Bank Parties expressly disavow any intention to charge or collect excessive
unearned interest or finance charges in the event the maturity of any Obligation
is accelerated. If (a) the maturity of any Obligation is accelerated for any
reason, (b) any Obligation is prepaid and as a result any amounts held to
constitute interest are determined to be in excess of the legal maximum, or (c)
any Bank Party or any other holder of any or all of the Obligations shall
otherwise collect moneys which are determined to constitute interest which would
otherwise increase the interest on any or all of the Obligations to an amount in
excess of that permitted to be charged by applicable law then in effect, then
all sums determined to constitute interest in excess of such legal limit shall,
without penalty, be promptly applied to reduce the then outstanding principal of
the related Obligations or, at such Bank Party's or holder's option, promptly
returned to the payor thereof upon such determination. In determining whether or
not the interest paid or payable, under any specific circumstance, exceeds the
maximum amount permitted under applicable law, the Bank Parties and Borrowers
(and any other payors thereof) shall to the greatest extent permitted under
applicable law, (i) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or
premium rather than as interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the
effects thereof, and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread the total
amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the instruments
evidencing the Obligations in accordance with the amounts outstanding from time
to time thereunder and the maximum legal rate of interest from time to time in
effect under applicable law in order to lawfully charge the maximum amount of
interest permitted under applicable law. As used in this section the term
"applicable law" means the Laws of the State of Texas or the Laws of the United
States of America, whichever Laws allow the greater interest, as such Laws now
exist or may be changed or amended or come into effect in the future.

      9.11. Termination; Limited Survival. In its sole and absolute discretion,
Borrowers may at any time that no Obligations are owing elect in a written
notice delivered to Agent to terminate this Agreement. Upon receipt by Agent of
such a notice, if no Obligations are then owing this Agreement and all other
Loan Documents shall thereupon be terminated and the parties thereto released
from all prospective obligations thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing or
anything herein to the contrary, any waivers or admissions made by Borrowers in
any Loan Document, any Obligations under Sections 3.2 through 3.6, and any
obligations which any Person may have to indemnify or compensate any Bank Party
shall survive any termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. At
the request and expense of Borrowers, Agent shall prepare and execute all
necessary instruments to reflect and effect such termination of the Loan
Documents. Agent is hereby authorized to execute all such instruments on behalf
of all Lenders, without the joinder of or further action by any Lender.

                                       59
<PAGE>

      9.12. Severability. If any term or provision of any Loan Document shall be
determined to be illegal or unenforceable all other terms and provisions of the
Loan Documents shall nevertheless remain effective and shall be enforced to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable Law.

      9.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be separately executed in any
number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts,
each of which when so executed shall be deemed to constitute one and the same
agreement.

      9.14. Waiver of Jury Trial. BORROWERS AND BANK PARTIES HEREBY VOLUNTARILY,
KNOWINGLY, IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY
PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE (WHETHER BASED UPON CONTRACT, TORT OR
OTHERWISE) BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWERS AND BANK PARTIES ARISING OUT OF OR IN
ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. THIS
PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO THE BANK PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS
AGREEMENT.

      9.15. USA Patriot Act Notification. Borrowers hereby acknowledges that
Agent has notified Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA
Patriot Act, the Bank Parties are required to obtain, verify and record
information that identifies Borrowers, which information includes the name and
address of Borrowers and other information that will allow the Bank Parties to
identify Borrowers in accordance with the USA Patriot Act.

      9.16. Effectiveness of Facsimile Documents and Signatures. The Loan
Documents may be transmitted and/or signed by facsimile. The effectiveness of
any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable law, have the
same force and effect as manually signed originals and shall be binding on all
parties to the Loan Documents. Agent may also require that any such documents
and signatures be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided,
however, that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the
effectiveness of any facsimile document or signature.

      9.17. Limited Use of Electronic Mail. Electronic mail and internet and
intranet websites may be used only to distribute routine communications, such as
financial statements and other information, and to distribute Loan Documents for
execution by parties thereto, and may not be used for any other purpose.

      9.18. Brokerage Commissions. Borrowers and Agent, on behalf of Lenders,
each represent and warrant to the other that it has not entered into any
agreement with, or otherwise had any dealings with, any broker or agent in
connection with the negotiation or execution of the Loan Documents which could
form the basis of any claim by any such broker or agent for a brokerage fee or
commission, finder's fee, or any other compensation of any kind or nature in
connection with the Loan. Each party shall, and hereby agrees to, indemnify and
hold the other party harmless from any liability, claims or losses arising by
reason of any brokerage commissions. This provision shall survive repayment of
the Loan and shall continue in full force and effect so long as the possibility
of such liability, claims or losses exists.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement is executed as of the date first

                             Insurance Requirements

The following types of insurance policies and coverages must be obtained at
Borrower's expense, which policies and coverages must be acceptable to Lenders'
insurance consultant in its sole discretion:

Comprehensive "all risk" or "special" perils cause of loss insurance, including
coverage for windstorms and hail, in an amount equal to 100% of the full
replacement cost of each Facility, which replacement cost shall be determined by
the "Insurable Value" or "Cost Approach to Value" reflected in the most recent
Lender-approved appraisal for each Facility, without deduction for depreciation.
Such insurance shall also include (a) an agreed insurance amount endorsement
waiving all co-insurance provisions, and (b) an "Ordinance or Law Coverage"
endorsement if any Facility or the use thereof shall constitute a legal
non-conforming structure or use.

Commercial general liability insurance against claims for sexual harassment,
abuse of residents and/or patients, personal injury, bodily injury, death or
property damage, in or about each Facility to be on a so-called "occurrence"
basis for at least $1,000,000.00 per occurrence and $3,000,000.00 in the
aggregate with a $10,000,000.00 umbrella coverage.

Professional liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily
injury or death, in or about each Facility to be on a so-called "occurrence"
basis for at least $1,000,000.00 per occurrence and $5,000,000.00 in the
aggregate.

Business interruption income insurance for each Facility in an amount equal to
100% of the net income plus carrying costs and extraordinary expenses of such
Facility for a period of eighteen (18) months as projected by Lender, containing
a 180-day extended period of indemnity endorsement.

Flood Hazard insurance if any portion of the improvements is located in a
federally designated "special flood hazard area" and in which flood insurance is
available. In lieu thereof, Lender will accept proof, satisfactory to it in its
sole discretion, that the improvements are not within the boundaries of a
designated area.

Workers' compensation insurance, if applicable and required by state law,
subject to applicable state statutory limits, and employer's liability insurance
with a limit of $1,000,000.00 per accident and per disease per employee with
respect to each Facility.

Comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance, including property damage coverage
and time element coverage in an amount equal to 100% of the full replacement
cost, without deduction for depreciation, of each Facility housing the
machinery, if steam boilers, pipes, turbines, engines or any other pressure
vessels are in operation with respect to such Facility. Such insurance coverage
shall include a "joint loss" clause if such coverage is provided by an insurance
carrier other than that which provides the comprehensive "all risk" insurance
described above.

                                 Schedule 5 - 1

<PAGE>

During the period of any construction and/or renovation of capital improvements
with respect to any Facility or any new construction at any Facility, builder's
risk insurance for any improvements under construction and/or renovation,
including, without limitation, costs of demolition and increased cost of
construction or renovation, in an amount equal to the amount of the general
contract plus the value of any existing trust note for improvements and
materials stored on or off the Property, including "soft cost" coverage.

Such other insurance coverage as may be required by Lender at any time during
the Loan term in the reasonable discretion.

Borrower is required to provide Lender with original renewals or replacements of
such insurance policies or certificates during the term of the Loan.

If any Facility is located in a seismically active area or an area prone to
geologic instability and mine subsidence, Lender may require an inspection by a
qualified structural or geological engineer satisfactory to Lender, and at
Borrower's expense. Each Facility must be structurally and geologically sound
and capable of withstanding normal seismic activity or geological movement.
Lender reserves the right to require earthquake insurance or Maximum Probable
Loss insurance on a case by case basis in amounts determined by Lender.

All insurance policies shall have a term of not less than one year and shall be
in the form and amount and with deductibles as, from time to time, shall be
acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion. All such policies shall provide for
loss payable solely to Lender and shall contain a standard "non-contributory
mortgagee" endorsement or its equivalent relating, among other things, to
recovery by Lender notwithstanding the negligent or willful acts or omissions of
Borrower and notwithstanding (aa) occupancy or use of any Facility for purposes
more hazardous than those permitted by the terms of such policy, (bb) any
foreclosure or other action taken by Lender pursuant to the Mortgage upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default thereunder, or (cc) any change in title or
ownership of any Facility.

All insurance policies must be written by an admitted carrier licensed in the
State in which the applicable Facility is located and such insurance carrier
must have a long-term senior debt rating of at least "AA" by Standard and Poor's
Rating Service.

All liability insurance policies (including, but not limited to, general
liability, professional liability and any applicable blanket and/or umbrella
policies) must name all the Lenders, which currently are "Guaranty Bank, a
federal savings bank, GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation, a California
corporation, GMAC Commercial Mortgage Bank, a Utah industrial bank, and their
respective successors and/or assigns, as their interest may appear" as
additional insureds, and all property insurance policies must name all the
Lenders, which currently are "Guaranty Bank, a federal savings bank, GMAC
Commercial Mortgage Corporation, a California corporation, GMAC Commercial
Mortgage Bank, a Utah industrial bank, and their respective successors and/or
assigns" as a named mortgage holder entitled to all insurance proceeds. Lender
shall have the right, without Borrower's consent, by notice to the insurance
company, to change the additional insured and named mortgagee endorsements in
connection with any sale of all or any portion of its interest in the Loan.

                                 Schedule 5 - 2

<PAGE>

All insurance policies for the above required insurance must provide for thirty
(30) days prior written notice of cancellation to Lender.

Lender will not close the Loan unless, prior to the Closing Date, Lender shall
have received the original, or a copy certified by the insurance agent, of the
policy(ies) of insurance (insurance binders or certificates will not be
accepted) and proof of payment of the first year's premium for all such
insurance.

The provisions of subsection 4 of Section 254 of the New York Real Property Law
covering the insurance of buildings against loss by fire shall not apply to this
Agreement. In the event of any conflict, inconsistency or ambiguity between the
provisions hereof and the provisions of subsection 4 of Section 254 of the New
York Real Property Law covering the insurance of buildings against loss by fire,
the provisions hereof shall control.

With respect to the foregoing requirements, the Lenders have entered into a
Notice of Insurance Forbearance dated of even date herewith.

to the terms and conditions set forth therein, and is a "Guaranty" as defined

irrevocably guarantees and agrees, subject to the limitations set forth below:
(a) to pay to Agent, at the address designated in the Note (as hereinafter

and all amendments, modifications, renewals and extensions of and substitutions
for said promissory notes (said promissory notes and all amendments,
modifications, renewals and extensions thereof and all substitutions therefor
herein called the "NOTE"), together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon
(all such indebtedness hereinafter called the "INDEBTEDNESS"); (b) to perform
fully and promptly when due all of the covenants, agreements and other
obligations undertaken by Borrower in the Loan Documents, including without
limitation, the Loan Agreement and the Environmental Indemnity Agreement of even
date herewith executed by Borrower in favor of Agent and the Indemnified Parties
described therein (such covenants, agreements and other obligations hereinafter
called the "OBLIGATIONS"); and (c) to pay any and all costs, attorneys' fees and
expenses incurred or expended by Agent in collecting amounts due under this
Guaranty and the other Loan Documents or in enforcing any right granted
hereunder or thereunder (the "COLLECTION COSTS").

      3. Limited Liability.

            (a) Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the provisions of
      Sections 4 and 5 of this Guaranty, the liability of Guarantor for (i)

<PAGE>

            (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the provisions of
      Sections 4 and 5 of this Guaranty, in the event that the initial (i.e.,
      occurring at the end of 12 months) Notes Resize occurs and the Debt
      Coverage Ratio - Actual for the Notes is equal to or greater than 1:30 to
      1:00 for a six (6) consecutive month period and provided no Event of
      Default exists (i) the liability of Guarantor for payment of the
      Indebtedness shall be limited to 25% of the Principal Amount plus all
      accrued but unpaid interest on the Principal Amount, and (ii) the
      liability of Guarantor for the Obligations shall be limited to payment and
      performance of the Recourse Amounts.

            (c) In the event the Guarantor's liability is not reduced as
      provided in 3(b) above because of a failure to satisfy the Debt Coverage
      Ratio - Actual, but subsequent to such Notes Resize, the Debt Coverage
      Ratio - Actual for the Notes is equal to or greater than 1:30 to 1:00 for
      a six (6) consecutive month period, notwithstanding the foregoing, but
      subject to the provisions of Sections 4 and 5 of this Guaranty, provided

      the Indebtedness shall be limited to 25% of the Principal Amount plus all
      accrued but unpaid interest on the Principal Amount, and (ii) the
      liability of Guarantor for the Obligations shall be limited to payment and
      performance of the Recourse Amounts.

            (d) The term "RECOURSE AMOUNTS" as used herein means:

                  (i) the amount by which any rents, issues or profits of any of
            the Facilities which are collected by or on behalf of Borrower
            during the continuance of an Event of Default are not applied to the
            normal operating expenses of the Facilities and/or any payments due

            delivered to Agent or otherwise applied as required under the terms
            of the Loan Documents;

                  (v) any damages, loss, liability, costs or expenses (including
            attorneys' fees) incurred or expended by Bank Parties resulting from
            the failure of Borrower to keep the Facilities insured as required
            by the provisions of the Loan Documents;

                  (vi) any damages, loss, liability, costs or expenses
            (including attorneys' fees) incurred or expended by Bank Parties as
            a result or on account of (A) any waste of the Facilities, or (B)
            any breach of any provision of the Loan Documents regarding the
            existence of mechanics' or materialmen's liens against the
            Facilities;

<PAGE>

                  (vii) upon the foreclosure of the lien of the Security
            Instrument, damages resulting from the failure of Borrower or its
            successor as grantor under the Security Instrument to deliver or
            surrender to the purchaser of the Facilities, at or immediately
            following such foreclosure, any of the real and personal property
            covered by the Security Instrument or any other Loan Document;

                  (viii) the amount of any ad valorem taxes, payments in lieu of
            ad valorem taxes or ground rent concerning the Facilities which are
            not paid as required under the terms of the Loan Documents (reduced
            by any ad valorem tax escrow held by Agent);

                  (ix) any damages, loss, liability, costs or expenses
            (including attorneys' fees) incurred or expended by Bank Parties
            resulting from the failure of the Borrower to comply with the terms
            of the Single Purpose Entity Provisions in the Loan Agreement;

                  (x) any damages, loss, liability, costs or expenses (including
            attorneys' fees) incurred or expended by Bank Parties resulting in
            the event the Facilities (or any part thereof) becomes an asset, or
            any Borrower (or its member) becomes a "debtor", in an involuntary
            bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding which is not dismissed within 90
            days of filing; provided, however, this subsection shall not apply
            if an involuntary bankruptcy is filed by Agent or Lenders;

                  (xi) any damages, loss, liability, costs or expenses
            (including attorneys' fees) incurred or expended by Bank Parties

            resulting from an involuntary lien (i.e., tax lien, mechanics or
            materialman's lien); and

                  (xii) if any Event of Default exists as a result of a
            termination of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement, the amount of
            any Termination Proceeds received by or on behalf of Guarantor or
            Borrower in connection with such termination which are not delivered
            to Agent.

      4. Liability After Foreclosure Events. In the event of foreclosure by
Agent on the Facilities pursuant to the terms of the Security Instrument or
acceptance by Agent of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure from Borrower (hereinafter
called a "DEED-IN-LIEU OF FORECLOSURE") (it being agreed that Agent shall be
under no duty or obligation to foreclose on the Facilities under the Security
Instrument or accept a Deed-in-Lieu of Foreclosure), the liability of Guarantor
for payment of the Principal Amount after such foreclosure sale or acceptance of
such Deed-in-Lieu of Foreclosure shall be the lesser of (i) the unpaid Principal
Amount after such foreclosure sale or acceptance of such Deed-in-Lieu of
Foreclosure or (ii) that portion of the Principal Amount for which Guarantor was
liable prior to the foreclosure sale or acceptance of such Deed-in-Lieu of
Foreclosure, it being the intention that the application of proceeds of any such
foreclosure sale (or the credit against the indebtedness in connection with the
acceptance of a Deed-in-Lieu of Foreclosure) shall be in such a manner so as not
to extinguish or reduce the liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty until all
of the amounts due under the Loan Documents for which Guarantor

                                       3
<PAGE>

is not liable have been paid in full. Guarantor shall also be liable for all
accrued but unpaid interest on the Principal Amount and the payment and
performance of the Recourse Amounts.

      5. Full Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, Guarantor shall have full personal liability for payment and performance
of the Indebtedness and the Obligations if:

            (a) there shall be an Event of Default under Section 8.1(i) of the
      Loan Agreement; or

            (b) there shall be an Event of Default under Section 8.1(j) of the
      Loan Agreement resulting from a voluntary lien placed by or at the
      direction of Borrower on a Facility (e.g., financing lien); or

            (c) there shall be any fraud or intentional misrepresentation by
      Borrower or any partner, member or joint venture of Borrower or any
      Guarantor in connection with the Facilities, the Loan Documents or any
      aspect of the Loan; or

            (d) the Facilities (or any part thereof) becomes an asset, or any
      Borrower (or its member) becomes a "debtor", in a voluntary bankruptcy or
      insolvency proceeding which is not dismissed within 90 days of filing.

      6. Waivers. Guarantor expressly waives presentment for payment, demand,
notice of demand and of dishonor and nonpayment of the Indebtedness, notice of
intention to accelerate the maturity of the Indebtedness or any part thereof,
notice of acceleration of the maturity of the Indebtedness or any part thereof,
notice of disposition of collateral, the defense of impairment of collateral,
the right to a commercially reasonable sale of collateral, protest and notice of
protest, diligence in collecting, and the bringing of suit against any other
party. Agent shall be under no obligation to notify Guarantor of its acceptance
hereof or of any advances made or credit extended on the faith hereof or the
failure of Borrower to pay any of the Indebtedness as it matures or any default
in the performance of any of the Obligations, or to use diligence in preserving
the liability of any person on the Indebtedness or the Obligations or in
bringing suit to enforce collection of the Indebtedness or performance of the
Obligations. Guarantor waives all defenses given to sureties or guarantors at
law or in equity other than the actual payment of the Indebtedness and
performance of the Obligations and all defenses based upon questions as to the
validity, legality or enforceability of the Indebtedness and/or the Obligations
and agrees that Guarantor shall be primarily liable hereunder.

      7. No Impairment of Guaranty. Agent, without authorization from or notice
to Guarantor and without impairing, modifying, changing, releasing, limiting or
affecting the liability of Guarantor hereunder, may from time to time at its
discretion and with or without valuable consideration, alter, compromise,
accelerate, renew, extend or change the time or manner for the payment of any or
all of the Indebtedness, increase or reduce the rate of interest thereon, take
and surrender security, exchange security by way of substitution, or in any way
it deems necessary take, accept, withdraw, subordinate, alter, amend, modify or
eliminate security, add or release or discharge endorsers, guarantors, or other
obligors, make changes of any sort whatever in the terms of payment of the
Indebtedness, in the Obligations or in the manner of

                                       4
<PAGE>

doing business with Borrower, or settle or compromise with Borrower or any other
person or persons liable on the Indebtedness or the Obligations on such terms as
it may see fit, and may apply all moneys received from the Borrower or others,
or from any security held (whether held under a security instrument or not), in
such manner upon the Indebtedness (whether then due or not) as it may determine
to be in its best interest, without in any way being required to marshal
securities or assets or to apply all or any part of such moneys upon any
particular part of the Indebtedness. It is specifically agreed that Bank Parties
are not required to retain, hold, protect, exercise due care with respect
thereto, perfect security interests in or otherwise assure or safeguard any
security for the Indebtedness; no failure by Bank Parties to do any of the
foregoing and no exercise or nonexercise by Bank Parties of any other right or
remedy of Bank Parties shall in any way affect any of Guarantor's obligations
hereunder or any security furnished by Guarantor or give Guarantor any recourse
against Bank Parties.

      8. Events Affecting Borrower. The liability of Guarantor hereunder shall
not be modified, changed, released, limited or impaired in any manner whatsoever
on account of any or all of the following: (a) the incapacity, death,
disability, dissolution or termination of Guarantor, Borrower, Bank Parties or
any other person or entity; (b) the failure by Bank Parties to file or enforce a
claim against the estate (either in administration, bankruptcy or other
proceeding) of Borrower or any other person or entity; (c) recovery from
Borrower or any other person or entity becomes barred by any statute of
limitations or is otherwise prevented; (d) any defenses, set-offs or
counterclaims which may be available to Borrower or any other person or entity;
(e) any transfer or transfers of any of the property covered by the Security
Instrument or any other instrument securing the payment of the Note; (f) any
release of Borrower, any co-guarantor or any other person (other than Guarantor)
primarily or secondarily liable for the payment of the Indebtedness or the
performance of the Obligations or any part thereof; (g) any modifications,
extensions, amendments, consents, releases or waivers with respect to this
Guaranty or any other Loan Document, except in a written amendment to this
Guaranty executed by Guarantor, Lenders and Agent; (h) any failure of Agent to
give any notice to Guarantor of any Event of Default; (i) Guarantor is or
becomes liable for any indebtedness owing by Borrower other than under this
Guaranty; or (j) any impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of
the liability of, or stay of actions or lien enforcement proceedings against,
Borrower, its property, or its estate in bankruptcy resulting from the operation
of any present or future provision of the Federal Bankruptcy Code (hereinafter
called the "BANKRUPTCY CODE") or other similar federal or state statute, or from
the decision of any court.

      9. Subordination. Guarantor expressly subordinates its rights to payment
of any indebtedness owing from Borrower to Guarantor, whether now existing or
arising at any time in the future, to the prior right of Bank Parties to receive
or require payment in full of the Indebtedness and until payment in full of the
Indebtedness (and including interest accruing on the Note after any petition
under the Bankruptcy Code, which post-petition interest Guarantor agrees shall
remain a claim that is prior and superior to any claim of Guarantor
notwithstanding any contrary practice, custom or ruling in proceedings under the
Bankruptcy Code generally), Guarantor agrees not to accept any payment or
satisfaction of any kind of indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor or any
security for such indebtedness during the continuance of an Event of Default. If
Guarantor should receive any such payment, satisfaction or security for any
indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor during the continuance of an Event of
Default, Guarantor agrees forthwith to deliver the same to Agent in the form
received, endorsed or assigned as may

                                       5
<PAGE>

be appropriate for application on account of, or as security for, the
Indebtedness and until so delivered, agrees to hold the same in trust for Bank
Parties.

      10. Waiver of Right of Subrogation. Notwithstanding anything to the
apparent contrary contained herein, Guarantor does not herein expressly or
impliedly waive or release any rights of subrogation that Guarantor may have
against Borrower (except as same are expressly subordinated as provided herein),
rights of contribution that Guarantor may have against any other guarantor of,
or other person secondarily liable for, the payment of the Indebtedness or
performance of the Obligations or rights of reimbursement that Guarantor may
have as against Borrower (except as same may be limited herein).

      11. No Usury. The provisions of Section 9.10 of the Loan Agreement are
incorporated herein by reference.

      12. Representations and Warranties. Guarantor hereby represents and
warrants to Bank Parties as follows:

            (a) Guarantor is solvent, is not bankrupt and has no outstanding
      liens, garnishments, bankruptcies or court actions which could render
      Guarantor insolvent or bankrupt, and there has not been filed by or
      against Guarantor a petition in bankruptcy or a petition or answer seeking
      an assignment for the benefit of creditors, the appointment of a receiver,
      trustee, custodian or liquidator with respect to Guarantor or any
      substantial portion of Guarantor's property, reorganization, arrangement,
      rearrangement, composition, extension, liquidation or dissolution or
      similar relief under the Bankruptcy Code or any state law.

            (b) To the best of Guarantor's knowledge, all reports, financial
      statements and other financial and other data which have been or may
      hereafter be furnished by Guarantor to Bank Parties in connection with
      this Guaranty are or shall be true and correct in all material respects
      and do not and will not omit to state any material fact or circumstance
      necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading and do
      or shall fairly represent the financial condition of Guarantor as of the
      dates and the results of Guarantor's operations for the periods for which
      the same are furnished, and, to the best of Guarantor's knowledge, no
      material adverse change has occurred since the dates of such reports,
      statements and other data in the financial condition of Guarantor (for the
      purposes of this clause (b) and the preceding clause (a), Guarantor shall
      also include any joint venturer, managing member or general partner of
      Guarantor).

            (c) The execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty do not
      contravene, result in the breach of or constitute a default under any
      mortgage, deed of trust, lease, promissory note, loan agreement or other
      contract or agreement to which Guarantor is a party or by which Guarantor
      or any of its properties may be bound or affected and do not violate or
      contravene any law, order, decree, rule or regulation to which Guarantor
      is subject.

            (d) There are no judicial or administrative actions, suits or
      proceedings pending or, to the best of Guarantor's knowledge, threatened
      against or affecting

                                       6
<PAGE>

      Guarantor or any of its properties or involving the validity,
      enforceability or priority of this Guaranty.

            (e) Guarantor, unless an individual, is duly organized and legally
      existing under the laws of the state of its formation (the foregoing
      representations shall also apply to any corporation, partnership, joint
      venture, limited liability company or limited partnership which is a
      general partner, managing member or a joint venturer of Guarantor).

            (f) This Guaranty constitutes the legal, valid and binding
      obligation of Guarantor enforceable in accordance with its terms except as
      such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws
      of general application relating to the enforcement of creditor's rights
      and general principles of equity; the execution and delivery of, and
      performance under, this Guaranty are within Guarantor's powers and have
      been duly authorized by all requisite action and are not in contravention
      of the powers of Guarantor's organizational documents.

            (g) Guarantor's U.S. taxpayer identification number is 20-1348354.

      13. Covenants and Agreements. Guarantor absolutely and unconditionally
covenants and agrees with Bank Parties as follows:

            (a) In the event that Borrower does not pay the Indebtedness or
      perform the Obligations or is unable to do so as a result of any
      liquidation, dissolution, receivership, conservatorship, insolvency,
      bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, sale of all or
      substantially all assets, reorganization, arrangement, composition, or
      readjustment of, or other similar proceedings affecting the status,
      composition, identity, existence, assets or obligations of Borrower, or
      the disaffirmance or termination of any of the Indebtedness or Obligations
      in or as a result of any such proceeding, such actions by Borrower shall
      not affect the liability of Guarantor hereunder, which liability is
      subject to the limitations and exculpations set forth in Sections 3-5 of
      this Guaranty.

            (b) If for any reason whatsoever (including but not limited to ultra
      vires, lack of authority, illegality, force majeure, act of God or
      impossibility) the Indebtedness or the Obligations cannot be enforced
      against Borrower, such unenforceability shall in no manner affect the
      liability of Guarantor hereunder and Guarantor shall be liable hereunder,
      subject to the limitations and exculpations set forth in Sections 3-5 of
      this Guaranty, notwithstanding that Borrower may not be liable for such
      Indebtedness or such Obligations and to the same extent as Guarantor would
      have been liable if such Indebtedness or Obligations had been enforceable
      against Borrower.

            (c) Should the status of Borrower change, this Guaranty shall
      continue and also cover the Indebtedness and Obligations of Borrower under
      the new status according to the terms hereof.

            (d) In the event any payment by Borrower to a Bank Party is held to
      constitute a preference under the bankruptcy laws, or if for any other
      reason a Bank Party is required to refund such payment or pay the amount
      thereof to any other party, such

                                       7
<PAGE>

      payment by Borrower to a Bank Party shall not constitute a release of
      Guarantor from any liability hereunder, but Guarantor, subject to the
      limitations and exculpations set forth in Sections 3-5 of this Guaranty,
      agrees to pay such amount to Agent upon demand and this Guaranty shall
      continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, to
      the extent of any such payment or payments.

            (e) Guarantor shall not have (i) the right to the benefit of, or to
      direct the application of, any security held by Agent, any right to
      enforce any remedy which Agent now has or hereafter may have against
      Borrower, or any right to participate in any security now or hereafter
      held by Agent, or (ii) any defense arising out of the absence, impairment
      or loss of any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or
      remedy of Guarantor against Borrower or against any security resulting
      from the exercise or election of any remedies by Agent, or any defense
      arising by reason of any disability or other defense of Borrower or by
      reason of the cessation, from any cause, of the liability of Borrower.

            (f) The payment by Guarantor of any amount pursuant to this Guaranty
      shall not in any way entitle Guarantor to any right, title or interest
      (whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) in and to any of the
      Indebtedness or any proceeds thereof, or any security therefor, unless and
      until the Indebtedness has been fully paid, but when the same has been
      fully paid Guarantor shall be subrogated as to any payments made by it to
      the rights of the Bank Parties as against Borrower and/or any endorsers,
      sureties or other guarantors.

            (g) Agent shall not be required to pursue any other remedies before
      invoking the benefits of the guaranties contained herein, and specifically
      it shall not be required to make demand upon or institute suit or
      otherwise pursue its remedies against Borrower or any surety other than
      Guarantor or to proceed against or give credit for any security now or
      hereafter existing for the payment of any of the Indebtedness. Agent may
      maintain an action on this Guaranty without joining Borrower therein and
      without bringing a separate action against Borrower.

            (h) Guarantor shall maintain interest rate protection for the Loan
      under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement to the extent required by the
      Loan Agreement.

      14. Financial Covenants, Statements and Reports.

            (a) Net Worth. Throughout the term of the Loan, Guarantor shall
      maintain a Net Worth of at least $100,000,000 to be measured at the end of
      each calendar quarter. As used in this Section, the term (a) "NET WORTH"
      means an amount equal to, as determined in accordance with GAAP, (i) the
      consolidated assets of Guarantor minus (ii) the total consolidated

<PAGE>

      cash on hand or on deposit in banks, (b) readily marketable securities
      issued by the United States, (c) readily marketable commercial paper rated

      organization that rates commercial paper), (d) certificates of deposit
      issued by commercial banks operating in the United States with maturities
      of one year or less, and (e) funds available to Guarantor under
      Guarantor's available lines of credit, provided (i) Guarantor is not in
      default under such lines of credit and no event shall have occurred which
      with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute
      a default under such lines of credit, and (ii) Guarantor is allowed to
      unconditionally (except for the submission of administrative draw
      requests) draw upon such available funds.

            (c) Financial Statements. Guarantor will deliver to Agent and
      Monitoring Agent the financial statements of Guarantor as more
      particularly described in the Loan Agreement and within time periods as
      set forth in the Loan Agreement. All financial statements shall be
      delivered to Agent and Monitoring Agent with a certificate in the form of
      Schedule 2 attached hereto and made a part hereof, certified as to
      accuracy by a representative of Guarantor reasonably acceptable to Agent.

      15. Joint and Several Liability. Where two or more persons or entities
have executed this Guaranty, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, all
references herein to "Guarantor" shall mean the guarantors hereunder or either
or any of them. All of the obligations and liability of said guarantors
hereunder shall be joint and several. Suit may be brought against said
guarantors, jointly and severally, or against any one or more of them, less than
all, without impairing the rights of Bank Parties against the other or others of
said guarantors; and Agent may compound with any one or more of said guarantors
for such sums or sum as it may see fit and/or release such of said guarantors
from all further liability to Bank Parties for such indebtedness without
impairing the right of Bank Parties to demand and collect the balance of such
indebtedness from the other or others of said guarantors not so compounded with
or released; but it is agreed among said guarantors themselves, however, that
such compounding and release shall in nowise impair the rights of said
guarantors as among themselves.

      16. Disputes Among Guarantors. Where two or more persons or entities have
executed this Guaranty, to the extent any dispute exists at anytime between or
among such parties as to any party's right to contribution or otherwise,
Guarantor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Agent harmless from and against
any loss, damage, claim, demand, cost or other liability (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) Bank Parties may suffer as a
result of such dispute.

      17. Rights Cumulative. The rights of Bank Parties are cumulative and shall
not be exhausted by its exercise of any of its rights hereunder or otherwise
against Guarantor or by any number of successive actions until and unless all
Indebtedness has been paid, all Obligations have been performed and each of the
obligations of Guarantor hereunder has been performed. The existence of this
Guaranty shall not in any way diminish or discharge the rights of Bank Parties
under any prior or future guaranty agreement executed by Guarantor.

      18. Notices. Any notice, request, demand or other communication required
or permitted hereunder shall be given as provided in the Loan Agreement.
