principal balance of the Loan, multiplied by the
remaining number of years (or fraction thereof of
the Term and (ii) the product of the annual rate
of interest (as of the date of prepayment) of
actively traded marketable United States treasury

whole year) of the Term (the "Current Rate"),
multiplied by the then-outstanding principal
balance of the Loan, multiplied by the remaining
number of years (or fraction thereof of the Term;
or (b) one percent (1%) of the then outstanding
principal balance of the Loan multiplied by the

payment of any installment of principal and
interest (including, without limitation,
Additional Interest) or in the payment of any
other monetary obligation under this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents continuing for ten
(10) days (hereinafter referred to as a "Late
Payment"), the Borrower shall pay the Lender a
late payment charge of TWO HUNDRED FIFTY DOLLARS
($250) (referred to herein as a "Late Payment
Charge") for the month during which such
delinquency occurs and for each month (or portion
of the month) thereafter that the Late Payment
remains unpaid, for the purpose of defraying the
expenses incurred by the Lender in handling and
processing such Late Payments. In addition to any
Late Payment Charges which may become due
hereunder, the Borrower shall pay interest on any
Late Payment, calculated at the Advances Rate,
from the date upon which the Late Payment was
originally due until the date that the Lender
actually receives such Late Payment. It is
understood that nothing contained in this Section
shall be deemed to relieve the Borrower of its
obligations to make any and all payments due and
payable to the Lender pursuant to the provisions
of this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents upon the dates set forth therein, it
being acknowledged that time is of the essence.
3.8 ADDITIONAL INTEREST.
3.8.01 AMOUNT OF ADDITIONAL INTEREST.
In addition to the monthly payments of
principal and interest set forth in the Note,
the Borrower shall also pay to Lender as
additional interest (the "Additional
Interest") an amount equal to five percent
(5%) of Excess Gross Revenues.
3
3.8.02 COMMENCEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INTEREST.
Additional Interest shall commence to
accrue on October 1, 1999 and shall be
payable quarterly in arrears during the Term
with the first such quarterly payment to be
made on January 1, 2000.
3.8.03 BASE REVENUES/EXCESS GROSS REVENUES.
The term "Base Revenues" shall be
defined as the annualized Gross Revenues of
the Facility for the twelve month period
commencing October 1, 1998 and ending
September 30, 1999. The term "Excess Gross
Revenues" shall be defined as the Gross
Revenues less Base Revenues.
3.8.04 REVENUE OF AFFILIATES.
To the extent that the Borrower enters
into (or has entered into) a Lease with any
of its Affiliates, Gross Revenues calculated
for all purposes under this Agreement
(including, without limitation, the
determination of the Additional Interest
payable hereunder) shall-include the Gross
Revenues of such Affiliate with respect to
the property demised under such Lease (i.e.,
the Gross Revenues generated from the
operations conducted on the portion of the
Mortgaged Property demised under such Lease)
and the Rents received or receivable by the
Borrower pursuant to such Leases shall be
excluded from Gross Revenues for all such
purposes. As to any Lease of the Mortgaged
Property to a non-Affiliate of the Borrower
only the rental income actually received by
the Borrower from such non-Affiliate shall be
included in Gross Revenues.
3.8.05 ESTIMATES.
Commencing on January 1, 2000,
Additional Interest to be paid during each
calendar year during the Term shall be
estimated by the Borrower at the beginning of
each calendar year for which it is payable
(and in no event shall such estimate be less
than the Additional Interest payable for the
prior calendar year), and shall be paid
quarterly in arrears (in equal installments
on the first day of April, July, October and
January) based on such estimate, to be
adjusted at the end of each such year based
on the actual increase of Gross Revenues over
Base Revenues achieved by the Facility during
that calendar year. Additional Interest due
for any portion of any calendar year shall be
prorated accordingly. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, on a quarterly basis, with the
consent of the Lender, the Borrower may also
adjust the quarterly payments of Additional
Interest to be made hereunder based upon a
comparison of (a) the actual Gross Revenues
generated by the Facility during the
applicable quarter and (b) the original
estimate of Additional Interest for the
applicable calendar year prepared by the
Borrower and the amount of Additional
Interest already paid by the Borrower
pertaining to the applicable calendar year.
3.8.06 ANNUAL STATEMENT.
In addition, on or before the first day
of April of each year following any calendar
year for which Additional Interest is payable
hereunder, the Borrower shall deliver to the
Lender a statement certified as correct by
the Borrower setting forth the Gross Revenues
for the immediately preceding calendar year.
4
3.8.07 ADJUSTMENT.
If the Additional Interest, as finally
determined for any calendar year (or portion
thereof, exceeds the sum of the quarterly
payments of Additional Interest previously
paid by the Borrower with respect to said
calendar year (or portion thereof, within
thirty (30) days after such determination is
required to be made hereunder, the Borrower
shall pay such deficit to the Lender and if
the deficit exceeds five percent (5%) of the
Additional Interest which was previously paid
to the Lender with respect to said calendar
year, then the Borrower shall also pay the
Lender interest, at the Advances Rate, on
such deficit from the applicable quarterly
date that such payment should have originally
been made by the- Borrower to the date that
the Lender receives such payment.
3.8.08 OVERPAYMENT.
If the Additional Interest, as finally
determined for any calendar year (or portion
thereof, is less than the amount previously
paid with respect thereto by the Borrower,
and if no Loan Default exists, the Borrower
shall notify the Lender to either.(a) pay to
the Borrower an amount equal to such
difference or (b) grant a credit to the
Borrower against the payment of Additional
Interest next coming due in the amount of
such difference.
3.8.09 Final Determination.
The obligation to pay Additional
Interest shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination of the Term (as to
Additional Interest payments that are due and
payable with respect to periods prior to the
expiration or earlier termination of the
Term), and a final reconciliation, taking
into account, among other relevant
adjustments, any contractual allowances which
related to Gross Revenues accrued prior to
the expiration or the termination of the Term
but which have been determined to be not
payable after such expiration or termination
date, and the Borrower's good faith best
estimate of the amount of any unresolved
contractual allowances shall be made not
later than two (2) years after said
expiration or termination date. Within sixty
(60) days after the expiration or earlier
termination of the Term, the Borrower shall
advise the Lender of the Borrower's best
estimate at that time of the approximate
amount of such adjustments, which estimate
shall not be binding on the Borrower or have
any legal effect whatsoever.
3.8.10 ACCOUNTING.
The Borrower shall utilize, or cause to
be utilized, an accounting system for the
Mortgaged Property in accordance with usual
and customary practices in the assisted
living industry and in accordance with GAAP
which will accurately record all Gross
Revenues. The Borrower shall retain, for at
least three (3) years after the expiration of
each calendar year for which Additional
Interest shall be payable hereunder (and in
any event until the final reconciliation
described above has been made), adequate
records conforming to such accounting system
showing all Gross Revenues for such calendar
year.
3.8.11 AUDIT.
5
The Lender, at its own expense, except
as provided hereinbelow, shall have the right
from time to time to have its accountants or
representatives audit the information set
forth in any certificate required to be
provided by the Borrower to the Lender
pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.8,
and in connection with such audits, to
examine the Borrower's records with respect
thereto (including supporting data and sales
tax returns). If any such audit discloses a
deficiency in the reporting of Gross Revenues
and either the Borrower agrees with the
result of such audit or the matter is
compromised, the Borrower shall forthwith pay
to the Lender the amount of the deficiency in
Additional Interest which would have been
payable by it had such deficiency in
reporting Gross Revenues not occurred, as
finally agreed upon or determined, together
with interest on the Additional Interest
which should have been payable by it,
calculated at the Advances Rate, from the
date when said payment should have been made
by the Borrower to the actual date that the
Lender receives such payment. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein,
with respect to any audit that is commenced
more than two (2) years after the date that
Gross Revenues for any calendar year are
reported by the Borrower to the Lender, the
deficiency, if any, with respect to
Additional Interest shall bear interest as
permitted herein only from the date such
determination of deficiency is made, unless
such deficiency is the result of gross
negligence or wilful misconduct on the part
of the Borrower. If any audit conducted for
the Lender pursuant to the provisions of this
Section discloses that (a) the Gross Revenues
actually received by the Borrower for any
calendar year exceed those reported by the
Borrower to the Lender by more than five
percent (5%), the Borrower shall pay the
reasonable cost of such audit and examination
or (b) the Borrower has overpaid Additional
Interest, and if no Loan Default exists, the
Lender shall notify the Borrower and the
Borrower shall direct the Lender either to
(i) refund the overpayment to the Borrower or
(ii) grant a credit against Additional
Interest next coming due in the amount of
such difference.
3.8.12 SURVIVAL.
The obligations of the Borrower and the
Lender contained in this Section shall
survive the expiration or earlier termination
of the Term and any foreclosure of the
Mortgage.
3.8.12 BEST EFFORTS TO MAXIMIZE.
Borrower further covenants that the
operation of the Facility shall be conducted
in a manner consistent with the prevailing
standards and practices recognized in the
assisted living industry as those customarily
utilized by reputable business operations.
Subject to any applicable Legal Requirements,
the members of the Leasing Group shall use
their best efforts to maximize the Facility's
Gross Revenues.

6.10 NON-COMPETITION.
28
6.10.01 The Borrower and the Guarantor
acknowledge that any competition by any
member of the Borrowing Group with any
Purchaser upon the transfer of title to
such Purchaser by reason of the Lender's
-exercise of any rights and remedies
granted under any of the Loan Documents,
including without limitation, the
exercise of the power of sale under the
Mortgage, any other foreclosure of the
Mortgage or any other proceedings
brought to enforce the rights of the
holder of the Mortgage or by any other
method, would cause irreparable harm to
the Lender and the Purchaser.
6.10.02 From and after the date hereof
until the fifth anniversary of the date
of any such transfer of title to the
Mortgaged Properly to any Purchaser, no
member of the Borrowing Group nor any
Person holding or controlling, directly
or indirectly, any interest in any
member of the Borrowing Group
(collectively, the "Limited Parties"),
shall be involved in any capacity in or
lend any of their names to or engage in
any capacity in any assisted living
facility (or other facility operated for
any use included within the definition
of Primary Intended Use), center, unit
or program (or in any Person engaged in
any such activity or any related
activity competitive therewith), whether
such competitive activity shall be as an

capacity whatsoever with respect to an
assisted living facility, center, unit
or program located within a five (5)
mile radius of.. the Mortgaged Property.
6.10.03 The Borrower and the Guarantor
hereby acknowledge and agree that none
of the time span, scope or area covered
by the foregoing restrictive covenants
is or are unreasonable and that it is
the specific intent of the Borrower and
the Guarantor that each and all of the
restrictive covenants set forth
hereinabove shall be valid and
enforceable as specifically set forth
herein. The Borrower and the Guarantor
further agree that these restrictions
are special, unique, extraordinary and
reasonably necessary for the protection
of the Lender and any Purchaser and that
the violation of any such covenant by
any of the Limited Parties would cause
irreparable damage to the Lender and any
Purchaser for which a legal remedy alone
would not be sufficient to fully protect
such parties.
6.10.04 Therefore, in addition to and
without limiting any other remedies
available at law or hereunder, in the
event that any of the Limited Parties
breaches any of the restrictive
covenants hereunder or shall threaten
breach of any of such covenants, then
the Lender and any Purchaser shall be
entitled to obtain equitable remedies,
including, without limitation, specific
performance and injunctive relief, to
prevent or otherwise restrain a breach
of this Section 6. 10 (without the
necessity of posting a bond) and to
recover any and all costs and expenses
(including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees and expenses and court
costs) reasonably incurred in enforcing
the provisions of this Section 6.10. The
existence of any claim or cause of
action of any of the Limited Parties or
any member of the Borrowing Group
against the Lender or any Purchaser,
whether predicated on this Agreement or
29
otherwise, shall not constitute
a defense to the enforcement by the
Lender or any Purchaser of the foregoing
restrictive covenants and the Limited
Parties shall not defend on the basis
that there is an adequate remedy at law.
6.10.05 Without limiting any other
provision of this Agreement, the parties
hereto acknowledge that the foregoing
restrictive covenants are severable and
separate. If at any time any of the
foregoing restrictive covenants shall be
deemed invalid or unenforceable by a
court having jurisdiction over this
Agreement, by reason of being vague or
unreasonable as to duration, or
geographic scope or scope of activities
restricted, or for any other reason,
such covenants shall be considered
divisible as to such portion and such
covenants shall be immediately amended
and reformed to include only such
covenants as are deemed reasonable and
enforceable by the court having
jurisdiction over this Agreement to the
full duration, geographic scope and
scope of restrictive activities deemed
reasonable and thus enforceable by said
court; and the parties agree
that such covenants as so amended and
reformed, shall be valid and binding-as
though the invalid or unenforceable
portion has. not been included therein.
6.10.06 The provisions of this Section
6.10 shall survive the early termination
of the Term by reason of a transfer of
title to the Mortgaged Property as
described in the first paragraph of this
Section 6.10 and any satisfaction of the
Loan Obligations in connection therewith
or subsequent thereto. The parties
hereto acknowledge and agree that any
Purchaser may enforce the provisions of
this Section 6.10, as a third party
beneficiary.
6.11 ERISA.
The Borrower shall not establish or permit
any Lessee to establish any new pension or defined
benefit plan or modify any such existing plan for
employees subject to ERISA, which plan provides
any benefits based on past service without the
advance consent of the Lender to the amount of the
aggregate past service liability thereby created,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
6.12 FORGIVENESS OF INDEBTEDNESS.
The Borrower will not waive, or permit any
Manager or Lessee which is an Affiliate to waive
any debt or claim, except in the ordinary course
of its business.
6.13 VALUE OF ASSETS.
Except as disclosed in the financial
statements provided to the Lender as of the date
hereof, the Borrower will not write up (by
creating an appraisal surplus or otherwise) the
value of any of its assets above their cost to the
Borrower, less the depreciation regularly
allowable thereon.
6.14 CHANGES IN FISCAL YEAR AND ACCOUNTING
PROCEDURES.
30
Upon notice to Lender, Borrower may (a)
change its fiscal year or capital structure or (b)
change, alter, amend or in any manner modify in
accordance with GAAP any of its current accounting
procedures related to the method of revenue
recognition, billing procedures or determinations
of doubtful accounts or bad debt expenses or
permit any of its Subsidiaries to so change its
fiscal year, provided that, in the event of such
change, modification or alteration, Borrower and
Lender shall make such adjustments to the
calculation of Additional Interest and the
financial covenants contained herein as Lender
shall reasonably require to make the same
consistent in result with the calculation thereof
immediately prior to such change, modification or
alteration.

the prudent operation of the Facility in the good

6.20 COVENANTS REGARDING MORTGAGED PROPERTY.
6.20.01 IMPOSITIONS.
A. Subject to the provisions of Section 9
hereof, the Borrower shall pay, or cause
to be paid, before any fine, penalty,
interest or cost may be added for non-
payment, all real estate taxes, ground
rents, sewer rents, water charges and

assessments, fees (including, without
limitation, license, permit, inspection,
authorization and similar fees), taxes,
rates, charges, impositions, levies,
liabilities, obligations, special
assessments and
31
Liens of every kind and nature
(hereinafter collectively referred to as
the "Impositions") that now or hereafter
may be imposed, suffered, placed,
assessed, levied or filed at any time,
upon (i) the Borrower, (ii) the
Borrower's interest in the Mortgaged
Property, (iii) the Mortgaged Property
or any Rent therefrom or any estate,
right, title or interest therein, (iv)
any occupancy, leasing, operation, use
or possession of, sales from, or
activity conducted on, or in connection
with, the Mortgaged Property and/or (v)
the Lender, but only to the extent that
any Imposition is imposed upon the
Lender as a result of the Loan
transaction, or which by any legal
Requirement may have priority over the
indebtedness secured either in lien or
in distribution out of the proceeds of
any judicial sale of the Mortgaged
Properly (without regard to any law
heretofore or hereafter enacted imposing
payment in whole or in part upon the
Lender). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
nothing contained in this Agreement
shall be construed to require Borrower
to pay (x) any tax based on net income
(whether denominated as a franchise or
capital stock or other tax) imposed on
Lender or any other Person, except
Borrower or its successors, (y) any net
revenue tax of Lender or any other
Person, except Borrower and its
successors, (z) any tax imposed with
respect to the sale, exchange or other
disposition by Lender of the Mortgaged
Property or the proceeds thereof.
Furthermore, if any such Imposition is
of record, the same shall be promptly
satisfied and discharged of record and
evidence of such discharge of record
(satisfactory to the Lender) shall be
forwarded to the Lender on or before the
date required hereunder for payment of
such Imposition. If any Imposition is
not paid within the time hereinabove
specified, the Lender shall have the
right, but not the obligation, to pay
the same, together with any penalty and
interest thereon, and any amount so paid
or advanced by the Lender and all costs
and expenses reasonably incurred in
connection therewith (including, without
limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses
and court costs), shall be a demand
obligation of the Borrower to the
Lender, and to the extent permitted by
applicable law, shall be added to the
Loan Obligations and shall be secured by
the Liens created by the Loan Documents
as fully and effectively and with the
same priority as every other obligation
of the Borrower secured thereby and, if
not paid within ten (10) days after
demand, shall thereafter, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, bear
interest at the Advances Rate until the
date of payment.
B. The Borrower hereby assigns to
the Lender all rights of the Borrower
now or hereafter arising in and to the
refund of any Imposition and any
interest thereon. If, at the time of
receipt of any such refund by the
Lender, a Loan Default or a Related
Party Default has occurred, then the
Lender may apply said refund in
reduction of the Obligations; otherwise,
the Lender shall promptly forward any
such refund to the Borrower.
C. If any such Imposition may, at the
option of the taxpayer, lawfully be paid
in installments (whether or not interest
shall accrue on the unpaid balance of
such Imposition), Borrower may exercise
the option to pay the same (and any
accrued interest on the unpaid balance
of such
32
Imposition) in installments
and, in such event, shall pay such
installments during the term of this
Agreement (subject to Borrower's right
to contest) as the same respectively-
become due and before any fine, penalty,
premium, further interest or cost
may be added thereto.
6.20.02 TAX DEPOSITS.

occurrence of an event or circumstance
which, with the giving of notice or the
passage of time would constitute a Loan
Default, the Borrower shall, upon the
written request of Lender, deposit with
the Lender, on the first day of the
calendar month immediately following
such request and on the first day of
each calendar month thereafter (each of
which dates is hereinafter referred to
as a "Monthly Tax Deposit Date") until
the payment in full of the Loan
Obligations, a sum equal to one twelfth
(1/12) of the Impositions to be levied,
charged, filed, assessed or imposed upon
or against the Mortgaged Property within
one (1) year after said Monthly Tax
Deposit Date. If the amount of the
Impositions to be levied, charged,
assessed or imposed within the ensuing
one (1) year period shall not be fixed
upon any Monthly Tax Deposit Date, such
amount for the purpose of computing the
tax deposit to be made by the Borrower
hereunder shall be estimated by the
Lender, with an appropriate adjustment
to be promptly made between the Borrower
and the Lender as soon as the fixed
amount of such Impositions is
determinable.
B. The sums deposited by the Borrower under
this Section 6.20.02 shall be held by
the Lender and shall be applied toward
the payment of the Impositions when due.
Any such deposits may be commingled with
other assets of the Lender and shall be
invested by the Lender at such bank as
the Lender from time to time may select,
and the Lender shall not be liable to
the Borrower or any other Person based
on the Lender's choice of investment
vehicles, any consequent loss of
principal or interest or any
unavailability of funds based on such
choice of investment; provided, however,
that notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Lender shall only invest any such
deposit in any of the investment
vehicles described on Exhibit A of the
Deposit Pledge Agreement. Furthermore,
the Lender shall bear no responsibility
for the financial condition of, or any
act or omission by, the Lender's
depository bank. The income from such
investment or interest on such deposit
shall accrue for the benefit of the
Borrower. The Borrower shall give not
less than ten (10) days' prior written
notice to the Lender in each instance
when an Imposition is due, specifying
the Imposition to be paid and the amount
thereof, the place of payment and the
last day on which the same may be paid
in order to be within the time limit
specified above.
C. If for any reason the sums on
deposit with the Lender under this
Section. 6.20.02 shall not be sufficient
to pay an Imposition within the time
specified in this Section, then, within
ten (10) days after demand by the Lender
the Borrower shall deposit sufficient
sums so that the Lender may pay such
Imposition in full, together with any
33
penalty and interest thereof. The
Lender may change its estimate of any
Imposition for any period on the basis
of a change in an assessment or tax rate
or on the basis of a prior
miscalculation or for any other good
faith reason; in which event, within ten
(10) days after demand by the Lender,
the Borrower shall deposit with the
Lender the amount in excess of the sums
actually deposited which would
theretofore have been payable under the
revised estimate.
D. If any Imposition shall be levied,
charged, filed, assessed or imposed upon
or against the Mortgaged Property and if
such Imposition shall also be a levy,
charge, assessment or imposition upon or
for any other real or personal property
not covered by the Liens created by the
Loan Documents, then the computation of
the amounts to be deposited under this
Section 6.20.02 shall be based upon the
entire amount of such Imposition and the
Borrower shall not have the right to
apportion any deposit with respect to
such Imposition.
E. Upon an assignment of the Mortgage by
the Lender, the Lender shall transfer
all amounts deposited pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 6.20.02 that
are then in its possession to such
assignee (as the subsequent holder of
the Mortgage) and the original Lender
named herein shall thereupon be
completely released from all liability
with respect to such tax deposits so
transferred and the Borrower shall look
solely to said assignee (as the
subsequent holder of the Mortgage) in
reference thereto. The Lender shall
provide written notice to the Borrower
of any such assignment of the Mortgage
and any such transfer of tax deposits.
F. All amounts deposited with the Lender
pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 6.20.02 shall be held by the
Lender as additional security for the
sums secured by the Liens created by the
Loan Documents and, upon the occurrence
of any Loan Default, the Lender may, in
its sole and absolute discretion, apply
said amounts toward payment of the Loan
Obligations. Upon the complete payment
and performance of the Loan Obligations,
any sums then held by the Lender under
this Section 6.20.02 shall be refunded
to the Borrower; unless a Related Party
Default has occurred, in which event
such sums may be applied toward the
Obligations.
G. The Borrower shall deliver to the Lender
copies of all notices, demands, claims,
bills and receipts in relation to the
Impositions immediately upon the earlier
to occur of (1) ten (10) days following
receipt thereof by Borrower and (2)
prior to the date when such Imposition
is due and payable.
6.20.03 CHANGE IN TAXES.
A. In the event any tax (other than any
income tax or franchise tax assessed
against the Lender, except to the extent
that any such tax is assessed against
the Lender in lieu of any other
Imposition that would have otherwise
been assessed against the Borrower or
the Mortgaged Property) shall be due or
become due and payable to any
Governmental Authority with respect to
the execution and delivery or
recordation of
34
any of the Loan Documents or the
interest of the Lender in the Mortgaged
Property, the Borrower shall pay such
tax at the time and in the manner
required by applicable law (without
regard to whether any such tax is
imposed in whole or in part on the
Lender) and the Borrower shall and
hereby agrees to hold harmless, defend
(with counsel reasonably acceptable to
the Lender) and indemnify the Lender
against any liability of any nature
whatsoever as a result of the imposition
of any such tax. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Lender shall have the
option of conducting its own defense
with counsel of its own choice. If
Lender reasonably believes that Borrower
is not performing its obligations to
defend Lender in a manner reasonably
satisfactory to Lender. Furthermore, the
aforesaid indemnification agreement
shall include, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses
and court costs reasonably incurred by
the Lender in connection with the
imposition of any such taxes and the
enforcement of said indemnification
agreement. The Borrower shall not claim
any credit on, or make any deduction
from, the Obligations by reason of the
payment of any such tax;
B. If any Legal Requirement becomes
effective after the date hereof changing
(in any manner) any of the present Legal
Requirements as to the taxation of notes
or debts secured by mortgages, for
federal, state or local purposes, or the
manner of collection of any Impositions,
so as to affect any of the Loan
Documents, then, upon demand, the
Borrower shall make such payments to the
Lender and take such other steps as may
be necessary or desirable in the
Lender's reasonable discretion, to place
the Lender in the same financial
position as it was in prior to any such
enactment; failing which, at the option
of the Lender and upon demand, the Loan
Obligations shall become due and payable
upon six (6) months' prior written
notice to the Borrower. In the event of
any such acceleration of the Loan
Obligations, provided that a Loan
Default has not occurred, the Borrower
shall not be required to pay the Lender
a Prepayment Fee.
C. The indemnity provisions of this 6.20.03
shall survive the complete payment and
performance of the Obligations and the
foreclosure of the Mortgage.
D. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing
contained in this Agreement shall be
construed to require Borrower to pay (x)
any tax based on net income (whether
denominated as a franchise or capital
stock or other tax) imposed on Lender or
any other Person, except Borrower or its
successors, (y) any net revenue tax of
Lender or any other Person, except
Borrower and its successors or (z) any
tax imposed with respect to the sale;
exchange or. other disposition by Lender
of the Mortgaged Property or the
proceeds thereof.

Mortgaged Property are in compliance
with the provisions of this Section
6.20.05.

Facility) and Other Permitted Uses. The
Borrower shall not allow the Mortgaged
property to be used for any use other

written consent of the Lender in each
instance, which consent may be withheld
in the Lender's sole and absolute
discretion.
C. No use shall be made or
permitted to be made of the Mortgaged
Properly and no acts shall be done which
cause the cancellation of any insurance
policy required pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement, nor shall the Borrower,

otherwise provide to residents, other
occupants or invitees therein, or permit
to be kept, used or sold in or about the

at any time and from time to time while
this Agreement remains in full force and
effect, the Borrower shall engage
independent professional consultants,
engineers and inspectors (qualified to
do business in the state where the
Mortgaged Property is located and
acceptable to the Lender) to perform any
environmental and structural
investigations and other inspections of
the Mortgaged Property as the Lender may
request in order to detect (a) any
structural deficiencies in the
Improvements or the utilities servicing
the Mortgaged Property or (b) the
presence of any condition that may be
harmful to the environment or present a
health hazard to the
36
residents and/or the other
occupants of the Facility. In the event
that the Lender determines that the
results of such investigations and
inspections are unsatisfactory, within
thirty (30) days of notice from the
Lender, the Borrower shall undertake
such appropriate remedial actions as may
be reasonably requested by the Lender to
correct any such unsatisfactory
conditions, and shall thereafter
diligently and continuously prosecute
such remedial actions to completion;
provided, however, that in the event
results of any such testing or
inspection reflect the same satisfactory
results as the results of a similar
testing or inspection initiated by
Lender within the prior twelve (12)
month period, the costs and expenses of
such testing or inspection shall be the
responsibility of Lender.
F. Borrower will maintain, and
cause any Lessee and any Manager to
maintain, experienced and competent
professional management with respect to
its business and with respect to the
Mortgaged Property. Borrower, any Lessee
and any Manager shall conduct, in the

validly created and existing easements
of record appurtenant to or encumbering
the Mortgaged Property (which easements

operation of the Facility); and (iii)
without need for any Permits and
Contracts required to be issued by or
entered into with any Governmental
Authority, except as already obtained or

terms of this Loan Agreement; (b) no Capital

the right, from time to time, to make additions,
modifications or improvements to the Mortgaged
Property which do not constitute Capital Additions

improvements performed and obtains Lender's
approval of the remaining work to be completed.
Any such addition, modification and improvement
which affects the structure of any of the
Mortgaged Improvements which is not a Capital
Addition or Material Structural Work shall be
exempt from the requirements of Section 6.26
hereof.
7. THE LENDER'S RIGHT TO MAKE PAYMENTS AND TAKE
OTHER ACTION
The Lender may, after ten ( 10) Business
Days' prior notice to the Borrower of its
intention so to do (except in an emergency when
such shorter notice shall be given as is
reasonable under the circumstances), pay any sums
due or claimed to be due for labor or materials
furnished in connection with the ownership,
construction, development, maintenance,
management, repair, use or operation of the
Mortgaged Property, and any other sums which in
the reasonable opinion of the Lender, or its
attorneys, should be paid, and may take such other
and further action which in the reasonable opinion
of the Lender is necessary in order to secure the
protection and priority of the security interests
granted to the Lender pursuant to the Loan
Documents and the performance of all obligations
under the Loan Documents. The Lender, in its sole
and absolute discretion, may charge any such
payments against any advance that may otherwise be
due hereunder to the Borrower or may otherwise
collect such amounts from the Borrower, and the
Borrower agrees to repay to the Lender all such
amounts, notwithstanding that the aggregate
indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender
hereunder may exceed the Loan Amount. Any amount
which is not so charged against advances due
hereunder and all costs and expenses reasonably
incurred by the Lender in connection therewith
(including, without limitation, attorneys' fees
and expenses and court costs) shall be a demand
obligation of the Borrower and, to the extent
permitted -by applicable law, shall be added to
the Loan Obligations and secured by the Liens
created by the Loan Documents, as fully and
effectively and with the same priority as every
other obligation of the Borrower thereunder and,
if not paid within ten (10) days after demand,
shall thereafter, to the extent permitted under
applicable law, bear interest at the Advances Rate
until the date of payment.
If the Borrower fails to observe or cause to
be observed any of the provisions of this
Agreement and such failure continues beyond any
applicable notice or cure period provided for
under this Agreement, the Lender or a lawfully
appointed receiver of the Mortgaged Property, at
their respective options, from time to time may
perform, or cause to be performed, any and all
repairs and such other work as they deem necessary
to bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance
with the provisions af this Agreement may enter
upon the Mortgaged Property for any of the
foregoing purposes, and the Borrower hereby waives
any claim against the Lender or such receiver
arising out of such entry or out of any other act
carried out pursuant to this Section. All amounts
so expended or incurred by the Lender and by such
receiver and all costs and expenses reasonably
incurred in connection therewith (including,
without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses
and court costs), shall be a demand obligation of
the Borrower to the Lender or such receiver, and,
to the extent permitted by law, shall be added to
the Obligations and shall be secured by the Liens
created by the Loan Documents as fully and
effectively and with the same priority as every
other obligation of the Borrower secured
thereunder and, if not paid within ten (10) days
after demand, shall thereafter, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, bear interest at the
Advances Rate until the-date of payment.

Obligations are outstanding, and shall not be
affected by any disability or incapacity which the
Borrower may suffer and shall survive the same.
Such power of attorney, is provided solely to
protect the interests of the Lender and shall not
impose any duty on the Lender to exercise any such
power, and neither the Lender nor such attorney-in-

misconduct.

contained herein, the Borrower's obligations to
carry the insurance required hereunder may be
brought within the coverage of a so-called blanket
policy or policies of insurance carried and
maintained by the Borrower and its Affiliates;
provided, however, that the coverage afforded to
the Lender shall not be reduced or diminished or
otherwise be different from that which would exist
under a separate policy meeting all other

use of such blanket policy of insurance, and
provided, further, that the requirements of
Section 8.1 are otherwise satisfied.
49
8.1.09 NO SEPARATE INSURANCE.
The Borrower shall not, on the Borrower's own
initiative or pursuant to the request or
requirement of any other Person, take out separate
insurance concurrent in form or contributing in
the event of loss with the insurance required
hereunder to be furnished by the Borrower, or
increase the amounts of any then existing
insurance by securing an additional policy or
additional policies, unless (a) all parties having
an insurable interest in the subject matter of the
insurance, including the Lender, are included
therein as additional insureds and (b) losses are
payable under said insurance in the same manner as
losses are required to be payable under this
Agreement. The Borrower shall immediately notify
the Lender of the taking out of any such separate
insurance or of the increasing of any of the
amounts of the then existing insurance by securing
an additional insurance policy or policies.

rights of the Borrower in and to any unearned
premiums on any insurance policy required
hereunder to be furnished by the Borrower which
may become payable or are refundable after the
occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder. In
the event of a foreclosure of the Mortgaged
Property or a conveyance of the Mortgaged Property
in connection with a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure
transaction, the insurance policies required to be
maintained hereunder, including all right, title
and interest of the Borrower thereunder, shall

therein.

statutory or other similar
Lien upon the Mortgaged
Property.
(c) Borrower shall deliver to
Lender satisfactory evidence that the

similar services as the Facility immediately
prior to such Casualty and having units equal
in number to at least seventy-five per cent
(75%) of the number of units included in the
Primary Intended Use (the "New Primary
Intended Use"), as in effect immediately
prior to any such Casualty, then, Borrower

otherwise able to comply with, and does
comply with, all of the terms and conditions
of Article 8 and (b) the projections for the

Casualty, the Primary Intended Use shall be
deemed to be the New Primary Intended Use and
the Facility shall be deemed to be the New
Use Facility. Borrower shall deliver to
Lender the projections referred to in clause
(b) above, together with calculations, based
thereon, showing the Minimum Coverage Ratio,

power of attorney, being coupled with an interest,
shall be irrevocable until all of the Obligations
are fully paid and performed and shall not be
affected by any disability or incapacity which the
Borrower may suffer and shall survive the same.
The power of attorney conferred on the Lender by
the provisions of this Section 11 is provided
solely to protect the interests of the Lender and
shall not impose any duty on the Lender to
exercise any such power and neither the Lender nor
such attorney-in-fact shall be liable for any act,
omission, error in judgment or mistake of law,
except as the same may result from its gross
negligence or wilful misconduct. In the event that
the Lender takes possession of the Mortgaged
Property and assumes control of the Facility as
aforesaid, it shall not be obligated to continue
the operation of the Facility for any period of
time longer than the Lender shall see fit (in its
sole and. absolute discretion), and the Lender may
thereafter, at any time, abandon its efforts and
refuse to make further payments for the account of
the Borrower. For the purposes of determining
Additional Interest upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default for a Failure to Operate, it
shall be deemed that the Additional Interest for
such period where operations of the Facility had
ceased would be equal to the highest annualized
rate that Additional Interest accrued during the
five (5) preceding calendar years or such shorter
period of time as this Agreement is in force and
effect.
64
In addition, at the Lender's option and
without demand, notice or protest, the occurrence
of any such Event of Default shall also constitute
a default under any one or more of the Related
Party Agreements.
12. GENERAL
12.1 Agreement Not Assignable.
The Borrower shall not suffer any attachment,
whether by trustee process or otherwise, to be
made or attempted against the Borrower's interest
in, to or under this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents or in or to any payment, advance or
other sums hereunder or thereunder, and shall not,
without the prior written consent of the Lender
(in each instance, which consent may be withheld
in the Lender's sole and absolute discretion), or,
except as may be permitted in connection with a
transfer permitted under Section 6.19 (and even
then, only after the satisfaction of all of the
requirements of the Lender relating to such
transfer), assign or transfer any of the same or
any interest therein. Any such assignment or
transfer made without the Lender's consent shall
be void and of no force or effect.
12.2 JOINT AND SEVERAL.
If any party to this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents shall be comprised of more
than one Person, all agreements, conditions,
covenants, provisions, stipulations, powers of
attorney, authorizations, waivers, releases,
options, undertakings, rights and benefits made or
given by such party shall be joint and several,
and shall bind and affect all Persons who are
defined herein or therein as such party as fully
as though all of them were specifically named
herein or therein wherever any term identifying
such party is used.
12.3 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.
The rights and remedies set forth under this
Agreement are in addition to all other rights and
remedies afforded to the Lender under any of the
other Loan Documents or at law or in equity, all
of which are hereby reserved by the Lender, and
this Agreement is made and accepted without
prejudice to any such rights and remedies. All of
the rights and remedies of the Lender under each
of the Loan Documents shall be separate and
cumulative and may be exercised concurrently or
successively in the Lender's sole and absolute
discretion.
12.4 FURTHER ASSURANCES.
At any time and from time to time, upon the
written request by the Lender, the Borrower and
the Guarantor shall promptly make, execute and
deliver, or cause to be made, executed and
delivered, to the Lender and, where appropriate,
cause to be recorded or filed (and, from time to
time thereafter, to be re-recorded or refiled) at
such time and in such offices and places as shall
be deemed desirable by the Lender (in its sole and
absolute discretion), any such agreements,
amendments, assignments, instruments of further
assurance, certificates and other documents as the
Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion,
deem desirable to (a) enable the Lender to
negotiate the Note and to assign the Loan
Documents or any portion of its interest; (b)
enable the Lender to enter into participation
agreements with respect to all or any portion of
the Obligations or (c) effectuate, complete,
perfect or continue and preserve the rights,
remedies and
65
obligations under any of the Loan Documents,
including, without limitation, any document
requested in order to perfect or continue the
security interests created under the Loan
Documents as first priority security interests in
the Collateral; provided, however, that, except as
to the costs and expenses reasonably incurred by
the Lender in connection with the items referred
to in the foregoing clause (c), no such additional
document or other instrument requested by the
Lender hereunder shall increase the Obligations.
Any failure by the Borrower or the Guarantor
to comply with any request pursuant to this
Section 12.4 within twenty (20) days after such
written request is made by the Lender shall be an
Event of Default hereunder and upon such Event of
Default, the Lender may make, execute, record,
file, re-record and refile any and all such
amendments, assignments, instruments, certificates
and documents for and in the name of the Borrower
or the Guarantor, and the Borrower and the
Guarantor each hereby appoints the Lender as its
attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution,
to take such actions (on behalf of and in the name
of the Borrower or the Guarantor as the case may
be) as the Lender, in its sole and absolute
discretion; may deem necessary or desirable to
effectuate the intent of this Section 12.4.
The power of attorney conferred on the Lender
by the provisions of this Section 12.4, being
coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable
until the Obligations are fully paid and performed
and shall not be affected by any disability or
incapacity which either the Borrower or the
Guarantor may suffer and shall survive the same.
Such power of attorney is provided solely to
protect the interests of the Lender and shall not
impose any duty on the Lender to exercise any such
power and neither the Lender nor such attorney-in-
fact shall be liable for any act, omission, error
in judgment or mistake of law, except as the same
may result from its gross negligence or willful
misconduct.
12.5 INVALIDITY.
If any provision of this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents or the application
thereof to any Person or circumstance, for any
reason and to any extent, shall be held to be
invalid or unenforceable, neither the remainder of
this Agreement or other Loan Document nor the
application of such provision to any other Person
or circumstance shall be affected thereby, but
rather the same shall be enforced to the greatest
extent permitted by applicable law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the
intention of the parties hereto that if any
provision- of any of the Loan Documents is capable
of two (2) constructions, one of which would
render the provision void and the other of which
would render the provision valid, then such
provision-shall be construed in accordance with
the construction which renders such provision
valid.
12.6 MARSHALLING, JURY TRIAL AND OTHER RIGHTS.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the
Borrower and the Guarantor each hereby waives and
renounces for itself" and its administrators,
legal representatives, successors and assigns, all
rights to the benefits of any statute of
limitations and any moratorium, reinstatement,
marshalling, forbearance, valuation, stay,
extension, redemption, appraisement, and exemption
now provided, or which may hereafter be provided,
by the Constitution and laws of the United States
of America and of any state thereof, both as to
itself and in and to all of its property, real and
personal, against the enforcement and collection
of the Obligations. The Borrower and the Guarantor
each hereby (a) transfers, conveys and assigns to
the Lender a sufficient amount of such
66
exemption as may be set apart in bankruptcy, to
pay the obligations of the Borrower and the
Guarantor under the Loan Documents in full, with
all costs of collection, and (b) directs any
trustee in bankruptcy having possession of such
exemption to deliver to the Lender a sufficient
amount of property or money set apart as exempt to
pay the obligations of the Borrower and the
Guarantor under the Loan Documents.
The power of attorney conferred on the Lender
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 12.6
being coupled with an interest, shall be
irrevocable until all of the Obligations has been
fully paid and performed, shall not be affected by
any disability or incapacity which either the
Borrower or the Guarantor may suffer and shall
survive the same. Such power of attorney, is
provided solely to protect the interests of the
Lender and shall not impose any duty on the Lender
to exercise any such power, and neither the Lender
nor such attorney-in-fact shall be liable for any
act, omission, error in judgment or mistake of
law, except as the same may result from its gross
negligence or wilful misconduct.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE
PARTIES HERETO EACH HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY
AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY NOW OR
HEREAFTER HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF
ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THE LOAN OR ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.
The Borrower and the Guarantor each hereby
certifies that neither the Lender, nor any of the
Lender's representatives, agents or counsel has
represented, expressly or otherwise, that the
Lender would not, in the event of any such suit,
action or proceeding, seek to enforce this waiver
of the right to trial by jury, and acknowledges
that the Lender has been induced by this waiver
(among other things) to enter into the loan
transaction evidenced by the Loan Documents, and
further acknowledges that it (i) has read the
provisions of this Agreement and in particular,
the paragraph containing this waiver; (ii) has
consulted legal counsel; (iii) understands the
rights that it is granting in this Agreement and
the rights that it is waiving in this paragraph in
particular and (iv) makes the waivers set forth
herein knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally.
12.7 NO WAIVERS.
The Lender shall not by any act, delay,
omission or otherwise (including, without
limitation, the exercise of any right or remedy
hereunder) be deemed to have waived any of its
rights -or remedies hereunder or under any of the
other Loan Documents unless such waiver is in
writing and signed by the Lender, and then, only
to the extent specifically set forth therein. No
waiver at any time of any of the terms,
conditions, covenants or warranties of any of the
Loan Documents shall be construed as a waiver of
any other term, condition, covenant or warranty of
any of the Loan Documents, nor shall such a waiver
in any one instance or circumstance be construed
as a waiver of the same term, condition, covenant
or warranty in any subsequent instance or
circumstance. No such failure, delay or waiver
shall be construed as creating a requirement that
the Lender must thereafter, as a result of such
failure, delay or waiver, give notice to any
member of the Borrowing Group or any other Person
that the Lender does not intend to give a further
waiver or to refrain from insisting upon the
strict performance of the terms, conditions,
covenants and warranties set forth in the Loan
Documents before the Lender can exercise any of
its rights or remedies under any of the Loan
Documents or before any Loan Default can occur or
as establishing a course of dealing for
interpreting the conduct of and agreements between
the Lender and any member of the Borrowing Group
or any other Person.
67
The acceptance by the Lender of any payment
that is less than payment in full of all amounts
due under any of the Loan Documents at the time of
the making of such payment shall not (a)
constitute a waiver of the right to exercise any
of the Lender's remedies at that time or at any
subsequent time, (6) constitute an accord and
satisfaction or (c) nullify any prior exercise of
any remedy; without the express written consent of
the Lender. Any failure by the Lender to
accelerate the indebtedness due under this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents by
reason of a default hereunder or thereunder, any
acceptance by the Lender of a past due
installment, or any indulgence granted by the
Lender from time to time shall not be construed
(i) as a novation of this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents or as a reinstatement of the
indebtedness evidenced thereby or as a waiver of
such right of acceleration or of the right of the
Lender thereafter to insist upon strict compliance
with the terms of this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents or (ii) to prevent the
exercise of such right of acceleration or any
other right granted hereunder or under applicable
law; and, to the maximum extent permitted by law,
the Borrower and the Guarantor each hereby
expressly waives the benefit of any statute or
rule of law or equity now provided, or which may
hereafter be provided, which would produce a
result contrary to or in conflict with the
foregoing.
Whether or not for consideration paid or
payable to the Lender and, except as may be
otherwise specifically agreed to by the Lender, no
forbearance on the part of the Lender or extension
of the time for the payment of the whole or any
part of the Obligations, or any other indulgence
given by the Lender to the Borrower or any other
Person, shall operate to release or in any manner
affect the original liability of the Borrower or
such other Person, or the priority of the Mortgage
or to limit, prejudice or impair any right of the
Lender, including, without limitation, the right
to realize upon the Collateral; or any part
thereof, for any of the obligations evidenced or
secured by the-Loan Documents; notice of any such
extension, forbearance or indulgence being hereby
waived by the Borrower and the Guarantor and all
those claiming by, through or under the Borrower
or the Guarantor.
12.8 USURY.
In the event that fulfillment of any
provision of any of the Loan Documents, at the
time performance of such provision shall be due
and as a result of any circumstance, shall involve
transcending the limit of validity presently or
hereinafter prescribed by any applicable usury
statute or any other law, with regard to
obligations of like character and amount, then
ipso facto the obligation to be fulfilled shall be
reduced to the limit of such validity, so that in
no event shall any exaction be possible under any
of the Loan Documents that is in excess of the
limit of such validity. In no event shall the
Borrower or the Guarantor be bound to pay for the
use, forbearance or detention of the money loaned
pursuant hereto, interest of more than the maximum
rate, if any, permitted by law to be charged by
the Lender; the right to demand any such excess
being hereby expressly waived by the Lender.
12.9 PARTICIPANTS.
The Lender reserves the right, from time to
time during the Term, to (a) enter into
participation agreements with respect to the Loan
or (b) assign, directly or as collateral, all or
any portion of the Obligations or all of the
Lender's rights therein; and each member of the
Borrowing Group shall cooperate with the Lender in
connection with the execution of any such
participation agreements or the transfer of any
such assignments.
Such cooperation shall include without
limitation:

Borrower, the Guarantor and the
Facility;

consenting to such participations or
assignments, (ii) confirming the
respective obligations of each member of
the Borrowing Group under the Loan
Documents, (iii) confirming the amount
of the then outstanding principal
balance of the Loan and the amounts of
any tax or insurance escrow deposits
held by the Lender, (iv) stating whether
any member of the Borrowing Group has
any defenses, offsets or credits against
the payment of any amounts due or the
performance of any obligations under the
Loan Documents and (v) stating whether
any default or any state of facts which,
with the passing of time or the giving
of notice or both, could constitute a
default, exists under the Loan
Documents;
C. making such modifications or alterations
to the Loan Documents as the Lender may
reasonably request; provided, however
that such modifications and alterations
shall not increase any of the Borrower's
or the Guarantor's monetary obligations
under the Loan Documents or materially
modify any other obligations of the
Borrower or the
Guarantor under the Loan Documents;
D. providing such other documentation
relating to the Loan and the Mortgaged
Property as the Lender may reasonably
request; and .
E. making the Mortgaged Property available
for inspection, during normal business
hours, upon reasonable notice from the
Lender.
The Lender shall have the right to provide
potential participants and assignees with any and
all financial, licensing and other information
provided to the Lender pursuant to the Loan
Documents upon informing such recipients of the
confidential nature of such information. The terms
and conditions of any participation agreements
with respect to the Loan or any assignment of all
or any of the obligations evidenced or secured by
the Loan Documents and the Lender's rights and
remedies therein shall be determined by the Lender
in its sole and absolute discretion.
12.10 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.
This Agreement and the other Loan Documents
shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of
(a) the Borrower and the Guarantor and their
respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal
representatives and permitted successors and
assigns and (b) the Lender, any other Person who
may now or hereafter hold any interest in the Loan
and their respective successors and assigns.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the
Borrower nor the Guarantor shall not assign any of
its rights or obligations hereunder or under any
of the Loan Documents without the prior consent of
the Lender, in each instance, which consent may be
withheld in the Lender's sole and absolute
discretion.
12.11 NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES.
This Agreement and the other Loan Documents
are solely for the benefit of the Lender, its
successors, assigns and participants (if any), the
Meditrust Entities, the Indemnified Parties, the
Borrower and the Guarantor, and, except as
otherwise expressly set forth in any of the Loan
Documents, nothing contained therein shall confer
upon
69
anyone other than such parties any right to insist
upon or to enforce the performance or observance
of any of the obligations contained therein. All
conditions to the obligations of the Lender to
advance or make available the proceeds of the
Loan, insurance proceeds or Condemnation awards,
or to release any deposits held for Impositions or
insurance proceeds are imposed solely and
exclusively for the benefit of the Lender, its
successors, assigns and participants and the
Meditrust Entities. No other Person shall have
standing to require satisfaction of such
conditions in accordance with their terms and no
other Person shall, under any circumstances, be a
beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of
which may be freely waived in whole or in part by
the Lender at any time, if, in the Lender's sole
and absolute discretion. the Lender deems it
advisable or desirable to do so.
12.12 GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION.
Except as may be otherwise expressly provided
in this Section 12.12, elsewhere in this Agreement
and in any of the other Loan Documents, all claims
relating, in any way, to the negotiation and/or
consummation of the Loan, the Lender's
relationship with any member of the Borrowing
Group in connection with the Loan and/or the
performance of any obligation under any of the
Loan Documents shall in all respects be governed,
construed, applied and enforced in accordance with
the internal laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts without regard to principles of
conflicts of law. Notwithstanding the foregoing
choice of law:
A. the procedures governing the creation,
perfection and priority of the Liens
pertaining to real property and tangible
personal property created by the
Mortgage and the Assignment of Leases
and the enforcement by the Lender of its
rights and remedies under the Mortgage,
the Assignment of Leases and the other
Loan Documents with respect to the
Mortgaged Property or other Collateral,
including by way of illustration, but
not in limitation, actions for
foreclosure, for injunctive relief or
for the appointment of a receiver shall
be governed by the laws of the state
where such Mortgaged Property or other
Collateral are located;
B. the Lender shall comply with applicable
law in the state where the Mortgaged
Property or other Collateral is located
to the extent required by the law of
such jurisdiction in connection with the
foreclosure of the Liens created under
the Mortgage and the other Loan
Documents with respect to the Mortgaged
Property or other Collateral; and
C. the provisions of Federal law and the
law of the state where the Mortgaged
Property is located shall apply in
defining the terms Hazardous Substances,
Environmental Laws and Legal
Requirements as such terms are used in
Loan Documents, with respect to the
Mortgaged Property and the Borrowing
Group.
Nothing contained herein or in any provisions
of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to
provide that the substantive law of the state
where the Mortgaged Property or any other
Collateral is located shall apply to any parties'
rights and obligations under any of the Loan
Documents, which, except as expressly provided in
clauses (A), (B) and (C) above, are and shall
continue to be governed by the substantive law of
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. In addition,
the fact that portions of the Loan Documents may
include provisions drafted to conform to the law
of the State where the Mortgaged Property is
located is not intended, nor shall it be deemed,
in any way, to
70
derogate the parties' choice of law as set forth
or referred to in this Loan Agreement or in the
other Loan Documents. The parties further agree
that the Lender may enforce its rights under the
Loan Documents including, but not limited to, its
rights to xxx the Borrower or to collect any
outstanding indebtedness in accordance with
applicable law.
Each party-hereto hereby consents to personal
jurisdiction in any state or Federal Court located
within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, as well
as to the jurisdiction of all courts from which an
appeal may be taken from the aforesaid courts, for
the purposes of any suit, action or other
proceeding arising out of, or with respect to any
of the Loan Documents, the negotiation and/or
consummation of the Loan, the Lender's
relationship with any member of the Borrowing
Group in connection with the Loan and/or the
performance of any obligation or exercise of any
remedy under any of the Loan Documents and
expressly waives any and all objections it may
have as to venue in any of such courts.

12.14 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
The Declaration of Trust establishing the
sole shareholder of the Lender, Meditrust, a
Massachusetts business trust (referred to herein
as "Meditrust"), dated August 6, I 985 (referred
to herein as the "Declaration"), a copy of which,
together with all amendments thereto, is duly
filed in the office of the Secretary of State of
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, provides that
the name "Meditrust" refers to the trustees under
the Declaration collectively as trustees, but not
individually or personally; and that no trustee,
officer, shareholder, employee or agent of
Meditrust or any of its Subsidiaries shall be held
to any personal- liability, jointly, or severally,
for any obligation of, or claim against Meditrust
or any of its Subsidiaries. All Persons dealing
with Meditrust or the Lender, in any way, shall
look only to the assets of Meditrust or the
Lender, respectively, for the payment of any sum
or the performance of any obligation. Furthermore,
in no event shall the Lender or Meditrust ever be
liable to the Borrower, the Guarantor or any other
Person for any indirect or consequential damages
incurred by the Borrower, the Guarantor or such
other Person, resulting from any cause whatsoever.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower and
the Guarantor hereby acknowledge and agree that
Meditrust is not a party to this Agreement or any
of the other Loan Documents and that the Borrower
and the Guarantor shall look only to the assets of
the Lender for the payment of any sum or
performance of any obligation due by or from the
Lender pursuant to the terms and provisions of the
Loan Documents.
12.15 ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE.
Within ten (10) days after written request of
any other party hereto, any party to this
Agreement shall furnish a certificate or
affidavit, duly acknowledged, stating the amount
then due or outstanding under the Loan Documents,
whether there are any defaults under any of the
Loan Documents and whether or not any offsets or
defenses exist against the Obligations, and if so,
specifying such offsets and defenses. Within ten
(10) days following the written request of the
Lender, the Borrower shall furnish a certificate
or affidavit, duly acknowledged, stating the
amount then due under any other documents
evidencing any indebtedness of the Borrower
secured by a Lien
relating to the Mortgaged Property, whether there
are any defaults under such documents and whether
or not any offsets or defenses exist against the
amount due thereunder and if so, specifying such
offsets and defenses.
12.16 NO JOINT VENTURE OR PARTNERSHIP.
Neither anything contained in any of the Loan
Documents, nor the acts of the parties hereto
shall be construed to create a partnership or
joint venture between the Borrower or the
Guarantor and the Lender. Neither the Borrower nor
the Guarantor is the agent or representative of
the Lender, and nothing contained herein or in any
of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to
make the Lender liable to any Person for goods
delivered or services performed with respect to
the Mortgaged Property or for debts or claims
accruing against the Borrower or the Guarantor.
12.17 AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS AND MODIFICATIONS.
72
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein
or in any other Loan Document, none of the terms,
covenants, conditions, warranties or
representations contained in this Agreement or in
any of the other Loan Documents may be renewed,
replaced, amended, modified, extended,
substituted, revised, waived, consolidated or

other applicable Loan Document, as the case may
be, with regard to any such renewal, replacement,
amendment, modification, extension, substitution,
revision, consolidation or termination or (b) the
Person against whom enforcement is sought with
regard to any waiver. The provisions of this
Agreement shall extend and be applicable to all

express or implied, to any renewal, replacement,
amendment, extension, substitution, revision,
consolidation or modification of any of the Loan
Documents or of any Lease, Management Agreement,

intended to constitute an agreement or consent by
the Lender to any such renewal, replacement,
amendment, extension, substitution, revision;
consolidation or modification of any of the Loan
Documents or any Lease, Management Agreement,
Related Party Agreement, Permit or Contract; but,
rather as a reference only to those instances
where the Lender may give, agree or consent to any

modification, as the same may be required pursuant
to the terms, covenants and conditions of any of
the Loan Documents.

to the release of the Collateral (or any part
thereof and/or any other collateral securing any
of the Related Party Agreements, with or without
substitution, and agree that additional makers,
endorsers, guarantors or sureties may become
parties to the Loan Documents and/or any of the
