Borrower pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the
Construction Loan Agreement, and the Borrower agrees to borrow on a revolving
basis from the Lenders from time to time the principal amount (the "Loan") not
to exceed at any time outstanding the lesser of (i) the Credit Facility
Committed Amount, or (ii) the Borrowing Base.
(b) The obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loan
shall be evidenced by the Amended, Restated, Consolidated and Increased Master
Note of even date herewith (as amended, restated, substituted, extended,
renewed and otherwise modified from time to time, the "Note") payable to the
Agent in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT A. The Note shall bear interest
and shall be repaid by the Borrower in the manner and at the times set forth in
the Note.
(c) The conditions precedent for making an advance under
the Loan shall be as set forth in this Agreement and the Construction Loan
Agreement. Sums borrowed and repaid may be readvanced under the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and the Construction Loan Agreement.
(d) No advances may be made or be outstanding under the
Credit Facility until and during such times as there are at least five (5) Pool
A Projects in the Borrowing Base. The Agent will prepare a Borrowing Base
Report (each a "Borrowing Base Report") in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT
B which must be certified by the Borrower listing for each of the Eligible
Projects (i) the applicable Deed of Trust Lien Amount, (ii) the Costs Incurred
to Date, and (iii) its status as of the most recent reporting date as a Pool A,
Pool B or Pool C Project within forty-five (45) days after the end of each of
the Borrower's fiscal quarters. The Borrowing Base Report will be based on the
outcome of the requisition procedures hereinafter described, appraisals
obtained by the Agent and other information on the Eligible Projects provided
by the Borrower or obtained by the Agent. The Borrowing Base shall be computed
based on the Borrowing Base Report most recently prepared by the Agent. In the
event the Borrower shall fail to furnish other current reports or information
as reasonably required by the Agent pursuant to the Financing Documents, or in
the event the Agent believes that a Borrowing Base Report is no longer
accurate, the Agent may, in its reasonable discretion exercised from time to
time and without limiting its other rights and remedies under the Financing
Documents, upon notice to the Borrower and the expiration of a cure period of
five (5) Banking Days, designate any Eligible Project as a Pool C Project or
suspend the making of or limit advances under the Loan. The Borrowing Base
shall be
21
27
subject to reduction as a result of the following events: (i) the release of an
Eligible Project from the lien of the applicable Deed of Trust, (ii) by the
change of any Eligible Project's status as a Pool A or B Project to a Pool B or
C Project respectively as determined by the Agent quarterly, or (iii) the
change in appraised value of an Eligible Project pursuant to Section 0. The
Borrowing Base shall be subject to increase as a result of the following
events: (i) addition of Eligible Projects, (ii) increase in the Costs Incurred
to Date as determined by the Agent quarterly, or (iii) the change of an
Eligible Project's status as a Pool B or C Project to a Pool A as determined by
the Agent quarterly. The Borrower may request and the Requisite Lenders (as
defined in the Agency Agreement) may in their sole discretion agree to include
as an Eligible Project a completed Facility which the Borrower or a Guarantor
Subsidiary has acquired which meets both the requirements for Optional
Collateral and the other conditions precedent to including a Facility as an
Eligible Project.
(e) The Borrower shall furnish to the Agent such
schedules, certificates, lists, records, reports, information and documents as
required by the Agent from time to time so that the Agent may, in its
reasonable discretion, determine the Borrowing Base.
(f) If at any time the aggregate principal amount of the
Loan outstanding exceeds the Borrowing Base, a borrowing base deficiency
("Borrowing Base Deficiency") shall exist. Each time a Borrowing Base
Deficiency exists, the Borrower shall within three (3) banking days of notice
thereof from the Agent either pay the amount and/or add Eligible Projects to
increase the Borrowing Base to an amount which is at least equal to the
aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Loan.
(g) The initial Borrowing Base Report is attached hereto
as EXHIBIT C.
Section II.2. Procedure for Advances. (a) The Agent will make
advances from time to time upon receipt of written request from the Borrower in
the form designated by the Agent, provided that after giving effect to the
Borrower's request, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan would not
exceed the lesser of the Credit Facility Committed Amount or the Borrowing
Base. Each advance under the Loan shall be in an amount of not less than
$1,000,000, and in increments of $250,000 in excess thereof. Advances or the
renewal of a Eurodollar Period shall be requested by the Borrower orally or in
writing by 10:00 A.M. (Baltimore time) three (3) Banking Days prior to the
Banking Day on which the funds will be advanced. The Borrower shall advise the
Agent at the time of such notice which Eurodollar Period it is selecting. The
Agent shall have no obligation to make any
22
28
advance if at the time such advance is requested and/or is proposed to be
funded, there exists an Event of Default or an event which upon notice or lapse
of time or both would constitute an Event of Default under the Financing
Documents. If the Borrower fails to advise the Agent three (3) Banking Days in
advance of the expiration of a Eurodollar Period of its intention to either pay
off such portion of the Loan or renew the applicable Eurodollar Period, it
shall be assumed by the Agent that the Eurodollar Period is to be renewed.
(b) In addition, if the Agent has reason to believe a
Default or an Event of Default has occurred, the Borrower hereby irrevocably
authorizes the Lenders to make advances of the Loan at any time and from time
to time, without further request from or notice to the Borrower, which the
Lenders, in their sole and absolute discretion, deems necessary or appropriate
to protect the Lenders' interests under this Agreement or otherwise, including,
without limitation, advances of the Loan made to cover interest on the Loan,
fees, and/or Enforcement Costs, prior to, on, or after the termination of this
Agreement, regardless of whether the aggregate amount of the advances of the
Loan which the Lenders may make hereunder exceeds the Credit Facility Committed
Amount. The Lenders shall have no obligation whatsoever to make any advance
under this subsection and the making of one or more advances under this
subsection shall not obligate the Lenders to make other similar advances. Any
such advances will be evidenced by the Note secured by the Collateral and the
Deeds of Trust.
Section II.3. Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent the
following fees:
(a) Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall have paid as of
the date hereof a non-refundable commitment fee in the amount of $825,000.

right-hand column below. The accrued and unpaid portion of the Unused Line Fee
shall be paid by the Borrower to the Agent on the first day of each fiscal
quarter commencing October 1, 1998 and on the Revolving Credit Termination
Date.

a loan administration fee related to such Eligible Project to the Agent only in

certain other fees as more fully set forth in a letter from the Agent to the
Borrower.
(e) Appraisal Fees. Upon the receipt of an appraiser's
invoice from the Agent, the Borrower shall pay the fee of the appraiser for an
Eligible Project.
(f) Extension Fee. In the event the Revolving Credit
Expiration Date of the Credit Facility is extended for a twelve-month period
pursuant to the terms of Section 0 hereof, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent
for the benefit of the Lenders, an extension fee for each such extension of
fifteen (15) basis points of the Credit Facility Committed Amount.
Section II.4. Interest Rate Matters. (a) Lender Tax Adjustment.
Each payment made by the Borrower under the Note shall either (i) be exempt
from, and be made without reduction by reason of, any Lender Tax or (ii) to the
extent that any such payment shall be subject to any Lender Tax, be accompanied
by an additional payment by the Borrower of such amount as may be necessary so
that the net amount received by each Lender (after
24
30
deducting all applicable Taxes) is the same as such Lender would have received
had such payment not been subject to such Lender Tax. Upon any payment of
Lender Tax by the Borrower, the Borrower shall promptly (and in any event
within 30 days) furnish to the Agent and applicable Lender such tax receipts,
certificates an other evidence of such payment as the Borrower may have or the
Agent or the applicable Lender may reasonably request.
(b) Inability to Determine Eurodollar Rate. In the event
that the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent
manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank
market, quotation of Eurodollar Rates for any portion of the Note are not being
provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for the purpose
of determining a Eurodollar Rate for any portion of the Principal Sum, the
Agent will give notice of such determination to the Borrower and each Lender at
least one day prior to the date of an advance or any subsequent Eurodollar
Period for the Loan. If any such notice is given, no Lender shall have any
obligation to make any advance or maintain any principal sum outstanding at a
Eurodollar Rate. Until the earlier of the date any such notice has been
withdrawn by the Agent or the date when the Lenders and the Borrower have
mutually agreed upon an alternate method of determining the rates of interest
payable on the Loan, as the case may be, the Borrower shall not have the right
to have additional advances or maintain any portion of the Credit Facility at a
Eurodollar Rate, whereupon the Lenders and the Borrower shall mutually agree
upon an alternate method of determining the rates of interest payable on the
Loan or such Lender's portion of the principal outstanding under all the Note
shall be immediately due and payable.
(c) Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of
the Financing Documents to the contrary, in the event that it shall become
unlawful for any Lender to obtain funds in the London interbank market or for
such Lender to maintain the Loan at the Eurodollar Rate, then, by written
notice to the Borrower and to the Agent, such Lender may declare that advances
will not thereafter be made or the Loan maintained by such Lender hereunder at
the Eurodollar Rate, whereupon the Lenders and the Borrower shall mutually
agree upon an alternate method of determining the rates of interest payable on
the Loan or such Lender's portion of the principal outstanding under the Note
shall be immediately due and payable.
(d) Increased Costs and Reduced Return. (i) If any event
shall occur (whether in the form of a reserve requirement (not included in the
definition of the Eurodollar Rate), exchange control regulations, governmental
charges, compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or
other Governmental
25
31
Authority, changes in the London interbank market or the position of any Lender
in such market or otherwise) and the result of any such event is, in such
Lender's reasonable judgment, to increase the costs which such Lender
determines are attributable to its making or maintaining the Loan at the
Eurodollar Rate, or its obligation to make available the Loan at the Eurodollar
Rate or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender
under the Note, then, within ten (10) days after demand by such Lender,
Borrower hereby agrees to pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts
as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.
(ii) In addition to any amounts payable pursuant
to Section 0(i), if any Lender shall have determined that the applicability of
any law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted pursuant to or arising out of
the July 1988 report of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulations and
Supervisory Practices entitled "International Convergence of Capital
Measurement and Capital Standards," or the adoption after the date hereof of
any other law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any
change in any of the foregoing or in the enforcement or interpretation or
administration of any of the foregoing by any court or any central bank or
other Governmental Authority, charged with the enforcement or interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance by such Lender (or any lending office of
such Lender) or such Lender's holding company with any request or directive
regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such
authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of
reducing the rate of return on such Lender's capital or on the capital of such
Lender's holding company, if any, as a consequence of its making or maintaining
the Loan or its incurring any obligations under this Agreement to a level below
that which such Lender or such Lender's holding company could have achieved but
for such applicability, adoption, change or compliance (taking into
consideration such Lender's policies and the policies of such Lender's holding
company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to
be material, then, upon demand by such Lender, the Borrower hereby agrees to
pay to such Lender from time to time such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender or such Lender's holding company for any such reduction
suffered.
(e) Notice of Amounts Payable to Lenders. If any Lender
shall seek payment of any amounts from Borrower pursuant to this Section 0 or
under Section 0, it shall notify the Borrower and the Agent of the amount
payable by the Borrower to such Lender hereunder. A certificate of such Lender
seeking payment setting forth in reasonable detail the factual basis for and
the computation of the amount specified, shall be conclusive and binding on all
parties for all purposes, absent manifest
26
32
error, as to the amounts owned. The Borrower's obligations under this Section
shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the
Obligations.
(f) Change in Basis Point Spread. Any change in the
basis point margin added to the Eurodollar Rate based on a change in the
Optional Collateral pursuant to the terms of Section 3.3 shall take effect one
(1) Banking Day following notice by the Agent to the Lenders of such rate
change.
Section II.5. Extensions. At any time not later than thirty (30)
days nor earlier than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the Revolving
Credit Expiration Date or any anniversary of the Facility Closing, the Borrower
may request that the Agent and the Lenders, in their sole discretion, may agree
to extend the Revolving Credit Expiration Date one or more times for a period
of twelve (12) months each.
III. COLLATERAL
Section III.1. Collateral. As security for the payment of any and
all of the Obligations and for the Borrower's performance of, and compliance
with, all of the terms, covenants, conditions, stipulations and agreements
contained in the Financing Documents, the Borrower hereby assigns, grants and
conveys to the Lenders, and agrees that the Lenders shall have, to the extent

other applicable Laws as well as those provided in this Agreement. The
Borrower covenants and agrees to execute and deliver such financing statements
and other instruments and filings as are necessary in the opinion of the Agent
to perfect such security interest. Notwithstanding the fact that the proceeds
of the Collateral constitute a part of the Collateral, the Borrower may not
dispose of the Collateral, or any part thereof, other than in the ordinary
course of its business or as otherwise may be permitted by this Agreement or
other Security Agreements.
Section III.2. Eligible Projects. The Borrower shall from time to
time designate Facilities owned by the Borrower or a Guarantor Subsidiary as
Eligible Projects included in the Borrowing Base pursuant to the terms hereof.
The Facilities which are Eligible Projects are listed on EXHIBIT C attached
hereto and incorporated herein by reference or any future Borrowing Base
Report. The Credit Facility shall be secured by (a) the first lien Deeds of
Trust on the fee simple interests of
27
33
the Borrower or the Guarantor Subsidiaries in the Eligible Projects, (b) a
first lien security interest in all fixtures, building materials and all other
machinery, equipment and other personalty used or installed by the Borrower or
Guarantor Subsidiary or each of the premises of an Eligible Project or in the
Improvements constructed thereon, and (c) all of the other Collateral relating
to the Eligible Projects. The Borrower may release an Eligible Project from
the lien of its Deed of Trust at any time provided no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing and provided at least five (5) Pool A Projects
remain in the Borrowing Base.
Section III.3. Optional Collateral. The Borrower or a Guarantor
Subsidiary may at its sole option grant to the Agent for the benefit of the
Lenders a first lien Deed of Trust on a Facility as Optional Collateral and
pledge the related Collateral and a first lien security interest in all
fixtures, building materials and all other machinery, equipment and other
personalty used or installed by the Borrower or Guarantor Subsidiary on each of
the Premises of the Optional Collateral or the Improvements constructed thereon
in connection with that Facility as security for the Credit Facility if each of
the conditions for Optional Collateral is met and continues to be maintained.
The Optional Collateral will not be included in the Borrowing Base. It will
only be referred to by the Agent in calculating the interest rate applicable to
the Credit Facility pursuant to the terms of the Note and this Agreement.
Provided no Event of Default has occurred under the Financing Documents and is
continuing, the Borrower may in its sole discretion add, substitute or remove
Facilities from the Optional Collateral; provided, however, that any change in
the Optional Collateral may only become effective at the end of a fiscal
quarter. The Borrower shall notify the Agent in writing of its intent to
release Optional Collateral. The Facilities included in Optional Collateral as
of the date hereof, if any, are listed on EXHIBIT E attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference. Additions or deletions from the Facilities
included in Optional Collateral shall be set forth on lists issued from time to
time by the Agent and certified by the Borrower. The foregoing
notwithstanding, the Borrower may in the future elect to include in Optional
Collateral the Facilities referred to as Franconia, Xxxxxx Plains, Old Tappan,
Granite Run, Xxxxx, Abington (Assisted Living) and Abington (Independent
Living) regardless of whether they meet the conditions set forth in Sub-parts
(c) and (d) of the definition of Optional Collateral; provided, however, that
each such Facility must meet such conditions within twelve (12) months from the
issuance of its certificate of occupancy in order to continue to be included in
Optional Collateral.
Section III.4. Assignment of Partnership Interests. The Obligations
are further secured by the Pledge, Assignment and
28
34
Security Agreement, pursuant to which the partners of the Borrower have
assigned to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders one hundred percent (100%)
of all partnership interests in the Borrower.
Section III.5. Guaranties. The Obligations are the subject of the
Guaranty Agreement and the Completion Guaranty executed and delivered by the
Guarantor in favor of the Lenders. Payment of the Obligations will also be
guaranteed by any Guarantor Subsidiary pursuant to a Joinder Agreement in form
attached hereto as EXHIBIT F executed as of the same date as the Deed of Trust
from such Guarantor Subsidiary.
Section III.6. Collateral for Obligations. The Borrower
acknowledges that it is the intention of the Borrower that the Collateral and
all the Deeds of Trust be security for all of the Obligations, both those now
existing and those hereafter created or incurred by future loans, advances,
extensions of credit or otherwise and whether or not currently contemplated by
the Borrower and/or the Lenders on or about the date hereof.
Section III.7. Costs. The Borrower agrees to pay on demand, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable laws, all reasonable fees, commissions,
costs, charges, travel expenses and other expenses incurred by the Lenders, or
any of them, in connection with the taking, perfection, preservation,
protection and/or release of any security interest or lien on any of the
Collateral or Deeds of Trust. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Borrower
shall not be obligated to pay the travel expenses of the Lenders with the
exception of travel expenses incurred in connection with any enforcement
actions following the occurrence of an Event of Default.
IV. GENERAL FINANCING PROVISIONS
Section IV.1. Computation of Interest and Fees. All applicable
fees and interest shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 days for
the actual number of days elapsed pursuant to the terms of each Note and
interest shall be payable monthly in arrears.
Section IV.2. Liens; Setoff. The Borrower hereby grants to the
Lenders a continuing lien and security interest for all the Obligations upon
any and all monies, securities, and other property of the Borrower and the
proceeds thereof, now or hereafter held or received by or in transit to, the
Lenders, or any affiliate of any of the Lenders, from or for the Borrower, and
also upon any and all deposits (general or special) and credits of the Borrower
with any of the Lenders, if any, at any time existing. During the continuance
of any Event of Default under
29
35
this Agreement, each Lender is hereby authorized by the Borrower at any time
and from time to time, without notice to the Borrower, to set off, appropriate
and apply any or all items hereinabove referred to against all Obligations then
outstanding.
Section IV.3. Payment and Performance of Obligations. The payment
and performance by the Borrower of the Obligations shall be absolute and
unconditional, irrespective of any defense or any rights of set-off, recoupment
or counterclaim it might otherwise have against the Lenders, or any of them,
and the Borrower shall pay absolutely net all of the Obligations, free of any
deductions and without abatement, diminution or set-off; and until payment in
full of all of the Obligations, the Borrower: (a) will not suspend or
discontinue any payments provided for in the Note and (b) will perform and
observe all of its other agreements contained in this Agreement, including
(without limitation) all payments required to be made to the Agent, and (c)
will not terminate or attempt to terminate this Agreement or any of the other
Financing Documents to which the Borrower is a party for any cause.
Section IV.4. Payments to Others for the Account of the Borrower.
At the option of the Lenders and without any request from the Borrower, and
without waiving any of its rights hereunder, the Lenders may elect to cure or
avoid any default by the Borrower under the Financing Documents by applying
amounts due hereunder or advancing the Lenders' own funds to the satisfaction
of the conditions of the Financing Documents and any amounts so applied shall
be part of the Loan and shall be secured by the Deeds of Trust and the other
Collateral. The Agent agrees to endeavor to give the Borrower notice of any
such payment or performing such act and the amount of any payment whether prior
to or contemporaneously with its making such payment or performance of such
act; provided, however, that failure to give such notice shall not constitute a
waiver by the Lenders of, or constitute a defense to, any of the rights of the
Lenders under this Agreement, the Construction Loan Agreement or the Deeds of
Trust, including (without limitation) the right of the Lenders to repayment of
the amount of such payment.
Section IV.5. Prepayment. The Borrower shall have the right to
prepay the Loan in full or in part, at any time and from time to time, upon ten
(10) days' prior written notice to the Agent without premium or penalty. The
foregoing notwithstanding, in connection with any prepayment of a principal sum
on any day other than the last day of the Eurodollar Period applicable thereto,
the Borrower shall pay to the Agent upon request by the Agent, such amount as
shall be sufficient to compensate any of the Lenders for any and all losses or
expenses which such Lender may sustain or incur (including without limitation,
any such loss or expense arising from the redeployment of funds obtained by
30
36
such Lender). Unless an Event of Default has occurred, any partial prepayment
shall be applied first to such breakage costs, second to accrued and unpaid
interest and third to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan due and
owing at maturity. Sums borrowed and repaid may be readvanced. The Borrower's
obligations under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement
and the repayment of the Obligations.
V. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
To induce the Lenders to make available the Credit Facility, the
Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders that:
Section V.1. Good Standing. The Borrower (a) is a limited
partnership duly organized and existing and in good standing under the laws of
the Commonwealth of Virginia, (b) has the power to own its property and to
carry on its business as now being conducted, and (c) is duly qualified to do
business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which each Facility is
located and in which the character of the properties owned by it therein or in
which the transaction of its business makes such qualification necessary.
Section V.2. Power and Authority. The Borrower has full power and
authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and each of the other Financing
Documents executed and delivered by it, to make the borrowing hereunder, and to
incur the Obligations, all of which have been duly authorized by all proper and
necessary partnership action. No consent or approval of partners of, or
lenders to, the Borrower, and no consent or approval of any Governmental
Authority or any third party payor on the part of the Borrower, is required as
a condition to the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the
other Financing Documents executed and delivered by the Borrower or to the
payment or performance by the Borrower of the Obligations.
Section V.3. Binding Agreements. This Agreement and each of the
other Financing Documents executed and delivered by the Borrower have been
properly executed by the Borrower, constitute valid and legally binding
obligations of the Borrower, and are fully enforceable against the Borrower in
accordance with their respective terms.
Section V.4. Litigation. There are no proceedings pending before
any court or arbitrator or before or by any Governmental Authority which, in
any one case or in the aggregate, will cause a Material Adverse Change in the
Borrower or affect the authority of the Borrower to enter into this Agreement
or any of the other Financing Documents executed and delivered by the Borrower.
31
37
There is no pending revocation, suspension, termination, probation,
restriction, limitation or non-renewal of any License, Participation Agreement
or any similar accreditation or approval organization or Governmental Authority
for healthcare providers, including, without limitation, the issuance of any
provisional License or other License with a term of less than twelve (12)
months, as a consequence of any sanctions imposed by any Governmental
Authority, nor is there any pending assessment of any civil or criminal
penalties by any Governmental Authority, the outcome of which, if determined
adversely to the Borrower, could result in a Material Adverse Change in the
Borrower. The Borrower does not have any appeals regarding rates or
reimbursements currently pending or contemplated before any Governmental
Authority or any administrator of any third party payor or preferred provider
program or referral source, the outcome of which, if determined adversely to
the Borrower, could result in a Material Adverse Change in the Borrower. There
are no Medicare or Medicaid recoupments or recoupments of any other third party
payor being sought, requested or claimed, against the Borrower, the outcome of
which, if determined adversely to the Borrower could materially impair the
Borrower's ability to pay the Obligations, except as otherwise disclosed in
writing to, and approved by, the Agent.
Section V.5. No Conflicting Agreements. There is (a) no provision
of the Borrower's partnership agreement and no provision of any existing
mortgage, indenture, contract or agreement binding on the Borrower or affecting
its property, and (b) to the knowledge of the Borrower no provision of law or
order of court binding upon the Borrower, which would conflict with or in any
way prevent the execution, delivery, or performance of the terms of this
Agreement or of any of the other Financing Documents executed and delivered by
the Borrower, or which would be violated as a result of such execution,
delivery or performance, or, if so, all necessary consents have been obtained.

information hereto furnished to the Lenders with respect to the Borrower, each
Facility, the Guarantor and any Guarantor Subsidiaries is complete and correct
in all material respects and fairly presents the financial position of the

liabilities, direct or indirect, fixed or contingent, of the Borrower,
Guarantor or any Guarantor Subsidiaries which are not reflected in the their
respective financial statements or in the notes thereto. There has been no
Material Adverse Change in the financial condition or operations of the
Guarantor since the financial statements dated December 31, 1996 (and to the
Borrower's and Guarantor's knowledge, no such Material Adverse Change is
pending), and neither the Borrower nor the Guarantor
32
38
has guaranteed the obligations of, or made any investments in or advances to,
any company, individual or other entity, except as disclosed in such
information.

the Borrower and adequate reserves therefor have been established as required
under GAAP.

any new place of business or the closing of any existing place of business of
the Borrower, and of any change in the location of the places where the
Collateral, or any part thereof, or the books and records concerning the
Collateral, or any part thereof, are kept. EXHIBIT D may be modified from time
to time to add the locations of additional Facilities.
Section V.10. Title to Properties. The Borrower and any Guarantor
Subsidiaries have good and marketable title to all of their properties,
including, without limitation, the Property, the Collateral and the Optional
Collateral, and the Property, the Collateral and the Optional Collateral are

or the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended, or any rules or
regulations promulgated under any of such statutes.

Section 4043 has occurred; (c) no termination of any plan subject to Title IV
of ERISA has occurred; (d) neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled
Entity has incurred a "complete withdrawal" within the meaning of ERISA Section

Borrower or of its business or properties, nor any relationship between the
Borrower and any other Person, nor any circumstance in connection with the
making of the Loan, or the offer, issue, sale or delivery of the Note is such
as to require a consent, approval or authorization of, or filing, registration
or qualification with, any Governmental Authority, on the part of the Borrower,

50
($1,000,000.00) with respect to injury or death for each person or occurrence,

to the Agent, and (D) provide that any loss otherwise payable thereunder shall
be payable notwithstanding any act or negligence of the Borrower which might,
absent such agreement, result in a forfeiture of all or a part of such
insurance payment. Unless an escrow account has been established for insurance
premiums pursuant to the provisions of a Deed of Trust, the Borrower shall
promptly pay all premiums when due on such insurance and, not less than ten
(10) days prior to the expiration date of each such policy, the Borrower will
deliver to the Agent a renewal policy or policies marked "premium paid" or
other evidence of payment satisfactory to the Agent. The Borrower will
immediately give the Agent notice of any cancellation of, or change in, any
insurance policy. The Lenders shall not, because of accepting, rejecting,

Subsidiaries do hereby grant to each of the Lenders and their affiliates and

FORM OF SUBSIDIARY JOINDER AGREEMENT
SUBSIDIARY JOINDER AGREEMENT
THIS SUBSIDIARY JOINDER AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made this ___
day of _________, 199_, by __________________, a corporation/limited
partnership/limited liability company organized under the laws of the
State/Commonwealth of _______ ("Subsidiary") in favor of each of the Lenders
under the Agency Agreement (as hereinafter defined) and NATIONSBANK, N. A., a
national banking association (the "Agent").
NOW, THEREFORE, for value received the undersigned agree as follows:
1. Reference is hereby made to the Amended and Restated Financing
and Security Agreement dated December 23, 1997 (as amended, modified, restated,
substituted, extended and renewed at any time and from time to time, the
"Financing Agreement") by and among Sunrise East Assisted Living Limited
Partnership, a limited partnership organized and existing under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Virginia (the "Borrower"), the Agent and certain additional
lenders (collectively with the Agent, the "Lenders") who are participating in a
bank group pursuant to the Amended and Restated Agency Agreement by and among
the Lenders party thereto dated December 23, 1997 (as amended, restated or
substituted from time to time, the "Agency Agreement"). Capitalized terms not
otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings given to them in
the Financing Agreement.
2. Pursuant to the Financing Agreement, the Lenders have agreed
to extend to the Borrower a credit facility in the maximum aggregate principal
amount of $250,000,000 or such greater amount as the Lenders may from time to
time commit to lend pursuant to the Agency Agreement (the "Credit Facility")
for the purposes set forth in the Financing Agreement. The Loans and all other
obligations relating to the Credit Facility shall be evidenced by the Amended,
Restated, Consolidated and Increased Master Promissory Note dated December 23,
1997 made by the Borrower to the Agent in the maximum principal amount of
$250,000,000 (as amended, restated or substituted from time to time, the
"Note"). The Credit Facility will be subject to the terms and conditions of
the Financing Agreement and the Amended and Restated Master Construction Loan
Agreement (as amended, restated or substituted from time to time, the
"Construction Agreement") dated December 23, 1997 by and between the Borrower
and the Agent.
3. As a condition precedent to extending the Credit Facility to
the Borrower, the Lenders required that any Wholly Owned Subsidiary which owns
a Facility to be encumbered with a Deed of Trust to secure the Credit Facility
execute this Agreement to evidence its agreement to the terms of the Financing
Documents as applicable. The Subsidiary is a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the
Borrower.
1
82
4. The Subsidiary and the Borrower hereby acknowledge, confirm
and agree that on and as of the date of this Agreement Subsidiary has received
the benefit of advances made under the Loan and granted a first lien
Mortgage/Deed of Trust, Assignment and Security Agreement covering its Facility
located in _____________, __________ and known as "Sunrise ________" (the
"Property") to secure the Obligations, and as such shall be jointly and
severally liable, as provided in the Financing Documents, for all Obligations
thereunder (whether incurred or arising prior to, on, or subsequent to the date
hereof) and otherwise bound by all of the terms, provisions and conditions
thereof.
5. The Subsidiary hereby represents and warrants to the Agent and
the Lenders that it will derive benefits, directly and indirectly, from each
advance of the Credit Facility, both in its individual capacity and as a member
of the integrated group comprised of the Borrower and the Guarantor
Subsidiaries and that the successful operation of the integrated group is
dependent upon the continued successful performance of the functions of the
integrated group as a whole. Subsidiary acknowledges and agrees that the terms
of the consolidated financing provided under the Financing Agreement are more
favorable than would otherwise would be obtainable by the Subsidiary
individually, and the Subsidiary's additional administrative and other costs
and reduced flexibility associated with individual financing arrangements which
would otherwise be required if obtainable would substantially reduce the value
to the Subsidiary of the financing.
6. For administrative convenience, the Subsidiary hereby
irrevocably appoints the Borrower as the Subsidiary's attorney-in-fact, with
power of substitution (with the prior written consent of the Agent in the
exercise of its sole and absolute discretion), in the name of the Borrower or
in the name of the Subsidiary or otherwise to take any and all actions with
respect to the this Agreement, the other Financing Documents, the Obligations
and/or the Collateral (including, without limitation, the proceeds thereof) as
the Borrower may so elect from time to time, including, without limitation,
actions to (a) request advances under the Credit Facility and direct the Agent
to disburse or credit the proceeds of any Loan directly to an account of the
Borrower, any one or more of the Guarantor Subsidiaries, the Subsidiary or
otherwise, which direction shall evidence the making of such Loan and shall
constitute the acknowledgement by each of the Borrower and the Guarantor
Subsidiaries of the receipt of the proceeds of such Loan, (b) enter into,
execute, deliver, amend, modify, restate, substitute, extend and/or renew this
Agreement, any other Financing Documents, security agreements, mortgages,
deposit account agreements, instruments, certificates, waivers, letter of
credit applications, releases, documents and agreements from time to time, and
(c) endorse any check or other item of payment in the name of the Subsidiary or
in the name of the Borrower. The foregoing appointment is coupled with an
interest, cannot be revoked without the prior written consent of the Agent, and
may be exercised from time to time through the Borrower's duly authorized
officer, officers or other Person or Persons designated by the Borrower to act
from time to time on behalf of the Borrower.
2
83
7. The Subsidiary hereby irrevocably authorizes each of the
Lenders to make Loans to any one or more all of the Borrower and the Guarantor
Subsidiaries pursuant to the provisions of the Financing Agreement upon the
written, oral or telephone request any one or more of the Persons who is from
time to time a Responsible Officer of the Borrower under the provisions of the
most recent certificate of corporate resolutions and/or incumbency of the
Borrower on file with the Agent.
8. Neither the Agent nor any of the Lenders assumes any
responsibility or liability for any errors, mistakes, and/or discrepancies in
the oral, telephonic, written or other transmissions of any instructions,
orders, requests and confirmations between the Agent and the Borrower or the
Agent and any of the Lenders in connection with the Credit Facility or any
other transaction in connection with the provisions of this Agreement. The
Borrower and the Guarantor Subsidiaries have agreed among themselves, and the
Agent and the Lenders consent to that agreement, that each Borrower and
Guarantor Subsidiary shall have rights of contribution from all of the other of
them to the extent the Borrower or such Guarantor Subsidiary incurs Obligations
in excess of the proceeds of the Loans received by, or allocated to purposes
for the direct benefit of, the Borrower or such Guarantor Subsidiary. All such
indebtedness and rights shall be, and are hereby agreed by the Borrower and the
Guarantor Subsidiaries to be, subordinate in priority and payment to the
indefeasible repayment in full in cash of the Obligations, and, unless the
Agent agrees in writing otherwise, shall not be exercised or repaid in whole or
in part until all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in
cash. The Subsidiary agrees that all of such inter-company indebtedness and
rights of contribution are part of the Collateral and secure the Obligations.
The Subsidiary hereby waives all rights of counterclaim, recoupment and offset
between or among the Borrower and the other Guarantor Subsidiaries arising on
account of that indebtedness and otherwise. The Subsidiary shall not evidence
the inter-company indebtedness or rights of contribution by note or other
instrument, and shall not secure such indebtedness or rights of contribution
with any Lien or security.
9. Without in any way implying any limitation on any of the
provisions of this Agreement, the Financing Agreement, or any of the other
Financing Documents, the Subsidiary hereby assigns, pledges and grants to the
Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders as security for the Obligations,
and agrees that the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, shall have a
perfected and continuing security interest in, and Lien on, (a) all of the
Subsidiary's Accounts, Equipment, General Intangibles, documents, Chattel
Paper, Instruments and Inventory, all right title and interest of the
Subsidiary in and to the Operating Agreements and Management Contracts
(including, without limitation, the Management Agreement), Resident Agreements,
Physician Contracts, Participation Agreements, the Licenses (whether or not
designated with initial capital letters), and all other management contracts,
operating agreements, service agreements and any other agreements pertaining to
the Property as those terms are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code as
presently adopted and in effect in the Commonwealth of Virginia, and shall also
cover, without limitation, (a) any and all property specifically included in
those
3
84
respective terms in the Financing Agreement or in the Financing Documents, (b)
all right, title and interest of the Subsidiary in and to Leases or subleases,
rents, royalties, issue, profits, revenues, earnings, income or other benefits
of the Property or arising from the use or enjoyment of the Property, or from
any lease or other use and occupancy agreement pertaining to the Property, (c)
all right, title and interest of the Subsidiary under all construction,
architectural and design contracts and plans and specifications, (d) any and
all property and/or collateral described in any of the Security Documents,
including, without limitation, the Financing Agreement, the Deed of Trust
[MORTGAGE] and the Pledge, Assignment and Security Agreement, (e) any and all
bank accounts or other deposit accounts of the Subsidiary wherever located, and
(f) all proceeds (cash and non-cash, including, without limitation, insurance
proceeds), of the foregoing. The Subsidiary further agrees that the Agent,
shall have in respect thereof all of the rights and remedies of a secured party
under the Uniform Commercial Code as well as those provided in this Agreement,
under each of the other Financing Documents and under applicable Laws.
In addition to the foregoing provision and without in any way implying
any limitation on any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Financing
Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents, by its execution of this
Agreement, the Subsidiary specifically joins in each of the following documents
as they relate to the Property, as if the Subsidiary had been a party thereto
as of the date originally executed: the Management Fee Subordination Agreement,
the Amended and Restated Collateral Assignment of Licenses, Participation
Agreements and Resident Agreements and the Amended and Restated Collateral
Assignment of Operating Agreements and Management Contracts, each dated
December 23, 1997 by and between the Borrower and the Agent.
1. Without in any way implying any limitation on any of the
provisions of this Agreement, the Subsidiary agrees to execute such financing
statements, instruments, and other documents as the Agent may require.

Lenders that the Obligations include all present and future indebtedness,

hereafter arising, of the Borrower.

guarantor. The Subsidiary expressly agrees that the Agent may, in its sole and
absolute discretion, without notice to or further assent of the Subsidiary
