ARTICLE IV
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
As an inducement to Lender to disburse the Loan, Borrower hereby
represents and warrants to Lender as follows, which representations and
warranties shall be true as of the date hereof, and shall remain true throughout
the term of the Loan:
-7-
4.1. BORROWER EXISTENCE. Each Borrower is a corporation duly formed,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of
incorporation with its principal place of business at 00000 XX Xxxx Xxxxxx
Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx X, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx 00000. ALC is in good standing and
authorized to transact business in the states of Oregon, Nevada, Arizona and
Nebraska. Carriage House is in good standing and authorized to transact business
in the states of Nebraska and Delaware. Each Borrower is a debtor-in-possession
pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. Upon the effectiveness of the
Interim Financing Order or Final Financing Order (defined in Section 5.10
below), the Loan Documents have each been duly authorized, executed and
delivered and each constitutes the duly authorized, valid and legally binding
obligation of each Borrower, enforceable against each Borrower in accordance
with their respective terms and the terms of the Financing Orders.
4.2. AUTHORITY. Subject to any required approval of the Bankruptcy
Court, the Board of Directors of ALC has the authority to make all material

term of the Loan. ALC owns 100% of the issued and outstanding stock in Carriage
House free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances other than the
Pledge.
4.3. CORPORATE DOCUMENTS. A true and complete copy of the articles of
incorporation and by-laws of each Borrower and all other documents creating and
governing each Borrower (collectively, the "INCORPORATION DOCUMENTS"), have been
furnished to Lender. There are no other agreements, oral or written, among any
of the owners of any ownership interests in each Borrower relating to any of
them. There are no other agreements to which any Borrower is a party which would
affect, modify or supersede the Incorporation Documents. The Incorporation
Documents were duly executed and delivered, are in full force and effect, and
binding upon and enforceable in accordance with their terms. The Incorporation
Documents constitute the entire understanding among the shareholders of each
Borrower. No breach exists under the Incorporation Documents and no act has
occurred and no condition exists which, with the giving of notice or the passage
of time would constitute a breach under the Incorporation Documents.
4.4. OTHER AGREEMENTS. No Borrower is in default under any contract,
agreement or commitment to which it is a party, which default could reasonably
be expected to have a material adverse effect on any Borrower, except as a
result of the Bankruptcy Case filing. Subject to the entry of the Interim
Financing Order and the Final Financing Order, the execution, delivery and
compliance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Loan
Documents will not (i) to the best of Borrower's knowledge, violate any
provisions of law or any applicable regulation, order or other decree of any
court or governmental entity, or (ii) conflict or be inconsistent with, or
result in any default under, any material contract, agreement or commitment to
which any Borrower is bound. Borrower has delivered to Lender copies of any
agreements (including leases) between each Borrower and any Affiliate related in
any way to the Project and any other agreements or documents materially
affecting the use and operation of the Project (excluding residential rental
agreements and non-residential Leases of space less than 500 square feet or
which provide for monthly rent payments less than $1,000).
-8-
4.5. PROPERTIES. Fee simple title to each Property is owned by the
Borrower indicated on Exhibit A free and clear of all liens, claims,
encumbrances, covenants, conditions and restrictions, security interests and
claims of others, except only such exceptions as have been approved in writing
by Lender and except for the liens, if any, listed on Exhibit A (the "PERMITTED
LIENS"). To the best of Borrower's knowledge, each Property and the Improvements
thereon is in compliance in all material respects with all zoning requirements,
building codes, subdivision improvement agreements, and all covenants,
conditions and restrictions of record. The zoning and subdivision approval of
each Property and the right and ability to, use or operate the Improvements are
not in any way dependent on or related to any real estate other than such
Property. To the best of Borrower's knowledge, there are no, nor are there any
alleged or asserted, violations of law, regulations, ordinances, codes, permits,
licenses, declarations, covenants, conditions, or restrictions of record, or
other agreements relating to the Project, or any part thereof, except to the
extent compliance is excused by the Bankruptcy Code or the Orders.
4.6. PROPERTY ACCESS. Subject to such items as may be disclosed in a
Schedule (approved by Lender) to this Agreement, to Borrower's knowledge, each
Property is accessible through fully improved and dedicated roads accepted for
maintenance and public use by the public authority having jurisdiction.

for the use or operation of each Property and the Improvements thereon are
available including water, storm, sanitary sewer, gas, electric and telephone
facilities.

in a Schedule (approved by Lender) to this Agreement, to Borrower's knowledge,
no Property is situated in an area designated as having special flood hazards as
defined by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, or as a
wetlands by any governmental entity having jurisdiction over any Property.
4.9. TAXES/ASSESSMENTS. There are no unpaid or outstanding real estate
or other taxes or assessments on or against any Property or Improvements or any
part thereof, except general real estate taxes not yet due or payable or taxes
for which payment is stayed by the Bankruptcy Court. Copies of the current
general real estate tax bills with respect to each Property and the Improvements
thereon have been delivered to Lender. Each such xxxx covers the entire
applicable Property and does not cover or apply to any other property. There is
no pending or contemplated action pursuant to which any special assessment may
be levied against any portion of the Project.
4.10. EMINENT DOMAIN. There is no eminent domain or condemnation
proceeding pending or, to the best of Borrower's knowledge threatened, relating
to any Property or Improvements.
4.11. LITIGATION. Except as set forth in Exhibit D attached hereto and
except for the Bankruptcy Cases, there is no unstayed litigation, arbitration or
other proceeding or governmental investigation pending or, to the best of
Borrower's knowledge, threatened
-9-
against or relating to any Borrower or any of their respective property, assets,
or business, including the Project, which if decided adversely would materially
and adversely affect the business, affairs, assets or financial condition of any
Borrower, any Property or the Improvements located thereon, or the prospects for
repayment of the Loan.
4.12. ACCURACY. Neither this Agreement nor any document, financial
statement, credit information, certificate or written statement furnished to
Lender by any Borrower contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits
to state a material fact which would affect Lender's decision to make the Loan
and all projections contained in such documents and statements are based on
reasonable assumptions.

the International Foreign Investment Survey Act of 1976, the Agricultural
Foreign Investment Disclosure Act of 1978, or the regulations promulgated
pursuant to such Acts or any amendments to such Acts.
4.14. FINANCIAL STATEMENT/NO CHANGE. Borrower has heretofore delivered
to Lender copies of the financial statements of ALC dated August 31, 2001. Said
financial statements were prepared on a basis consistent with that of preceding
years, and all of such financial statements present fairly the financial
condition of ALC as of the dates in question and the results of operations for
the periods indicated. Since the dates of such statements, other than the filing
of the Bankruptcy Cases by Borrower, there has been no material adverse change
in the business or financial condition of Borrower. Borrower has no material
contingent liabilities not provided for or disclosed in said financial
statements or arising as a result of the Bankruptcy Case or incurred in the
ordinary course of business.
4.15. NO BROKER. No brokerage commission or finder's fee is owing to any
broker or finder arising out of any actions or activity of Borrower in
connection with the Loan.

Subsidiary Indebtedness indicated on Exhibit B is true and correct in all
material respects as of the date specified therein.

and its authorized agents may enter upon and inspect the Project at all
reasonable times upon reasonable advance notice given orally or in writing to
Borrower. Lender, at Borrower's expense, shall retain one or more independent
consultants to periodically inspect the Project and all documents, drawings,
plans, and consultants' reports relating thereto; provided, however, that such
inspections shall not occur more frequently than annually unless an Event of

in any financial information or computation equal to or greater than the greater

more than any computation submitted by Borrower.
5.3. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS; BALANCE SHEETS. Borrower shall furnish to
Lender such financial statements and other financial information as Lender may
from time to time reasonably request. All such financial statements shall show
all material contingent liabilities and shall accurately and fairly present the

for the period indicated. Without limitation of the foregoing, Borrower shall
furnish to Lender the following statements:
5.3.1. MONTHLY AND ANNUAL OPERATING STATEMENTS. Statements of the
operation of the Project on a Property-by-Property basis (including a current
rent roll, monthly operating statements, monthly delinquency reports and monthly
schedules of receivables) as of the last day of each month, to be delivered
within twenty (20) days after
-11-
the end of each month and certified by Borrower as true, correct, and complete,
and yearly statements of the operation of the Project on a Property-by-Property
basis, to be delivered within ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year
and certified by Borrower as true, correct, and complete.
5.3.2. ANNUAL BALANCE SHEETS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Annual
audited and quarterly unaudited consolidated balance sheets and financial
statements from Borrower, within ninety (90) days of the end of each fiscal year
which are true and correct in all respects, have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and fairly present in all
material respects the financial condition(s) of the person(s) referred to
therein as of the date(s) indicated.
5.3.3. AUDITS. If Borrower fails to furnish or cause to be
furnished promptly any report required by this Section 5.3, or if Lender
reasonably deems such reports to be unacceptable, Lender may elect (in addition
to exercising any other right and remedy) to conduct an audit of all books and
records of Borrower which in any way pertain to the Project and to prepare the
statement or statements which Borrower failed to procure and deliver. Such audit
shall be made and such statement or statements shall be prepared at Lender's
option, either internally by Lender or by an independent firm of certified
public accountants to be selected by Lender. Borrower shall pay all reasonable
costs and expenses of the audit and other services, whether performed internally
or by an independent firm, which costs and expenses shall be immediately due and
payable with interest thereon at the default rate contained in the Notes.
5.4. USE OF PROCEEDS. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan for
proper business purposes. No portion of the proceeds of the Loan shall be used
by Borrower in any manner that might cause the borrowing or the application of
such proceeds to violate Regulation U, Regulation T or Regulation X or any other
regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or to violate
the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
5.5. NOTICE OF LITIGATION OR DEFAULT. Borrower shall within a reasonable
period of time provide Lender with:
(a) written notice of any litigation, arbitration, or other
proceeding or governmental investigation pending or, to Borrower's
knowledge, threatened against or relating to any Borrower or any
Property, which if decided adversely, could reasonably be expected to
have a material adverse effect on any Borrower or any Property; and
(b) a copy of all notices of material default and violations of
laws, regulations, codes, ordinances and the like received by any
Borrower relating to any Borrower, the Collateral or any Property (other
than any defaults caused by the filing of the Bankruptcy Cases).
-12-
5.6. AFFILIATE TRANSACTIONS. Any agreement by a Borrower with an
Affiliate pertaining to the Project shall be on terms no less favorable to such
Borrower than would be obtained from a non-Affiliate. Borrower shall deliver to
Lender a copy of each such agreement. If requested by Lender, such agreement
shall provide Lender the right to terminate it upon Lender's (or its designee's)
acquisition of the Project through foreclosure, a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure,
UCC sale or otherwise.
"AFFILIATE" means with respect to any individual, trust, estate,
partnership, limited liability company, corporation or any other incorporated or
unincorporated organization (each a "PERSON"), a Person that directly or
indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or
is under common control with any Borrower; any officer, director, partner or
shareholder of such Borrower; any relative of any of the foregoing. The term

cause the direction of the management and policies of a Person, whether through
the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.

various news or financial media that Lender has provided financing to Borrower.
5.8. REPLACEMENT RESERVE. At the time of and in addition to the monthly
installments of interest due under the Notes, Borrower shall pay to Lender, an
amount equal to the product of Twenty-Five and No/100 Dollars ($25.00)
multiplied by the number of units in the Project (the "REPLACEMENT RESERVE").
The Replacement Reserve funds shall be placed in an interest bearing account,
with all interest earned to be credited to Borrower. On the Maturity Date, the
monies then remaining on deposit with Lender shall be applied against the
Indebtedness or if all Indebtedness has been indefeasibly paid in full, returned
to Borrower. So long as no Event of Default is then continuing, Borrower may
request Lender to disburse funds from the Replacement Reserve (which request
will include a reasonably detailed description of the capital expenditures at
the Property which Borrower intends to pay for with such funds), which request
shall not be unreasonably denied by Lender. If requested by Lender, each
disbursement request will be accompanied by copies of invoices, lien waivers and
other evidence reasonably required by Lender.
5.9. NO PROPERTY MANAGER. Borrower is and shall remain the sole manager
and operator of each of the Properties, and Borrower shall not permit or
contract with any other Person to manage or operate any of the Properties.
5.10. FINAL FINANCING ORDER. Borrower shall obtain the entry of a
Financing Order (the "FINAL FINANCING ORDER") on or before October 31, 2001,
which Final Financing Order shall contain the same terms as the Interim
Financing Order with such changes as Lender may approve in its sole discretion.

(60) days of its filing), or a custodian, receiver or trustee for any

Default specified in this subsection 7.1(e) which is caused by (A) any
Borrower, any Subsidiary or any party to the Plan Support Agreement
among Borrower and others dated ______________, 2001, (the "PLAN

remedies with respect to such default, is excused or prevented by the
Bankruptcy Court or applicable bankruptcy law, Borrower shall default in
the payment of any indebtedness in an aggregate outstanding principal
amount greater than $500,000 (other than the Indebtedness), and such
default is declared and is not cured within the time, if any, specified
therefor in any agreement governing the same; or
(j) Any written statement, report or certificate made or delivered
to Lender by any Borrower is not materially true and complete when made;

period.
"PROJECT YIELD" means the quotient (expressed as a percentage) as
reasonably determined by Lender of (x) the annualized Net Operating
Income from the Project, as determined by Lender's audit, at Borrower's
expense (or at Lender's option, as

remedy provided in the Loan Documents is distinct and cumulative to all other
rights or remedies under the Loan Documents or afforded by law or equity, and
may be exercised concurrently, independently, or successively, in any order
whatsoever.
ARTICLE VIII
MISCELLANEOUS

reasonable Costs (defined below) incurred by Lender in connection with the
documentation, closing, making disbursements, modification, workout, collection
or enforcement of the Loan or any of the Loan Documents (as applicable); the
documentation, negotiation or preparation of any loan documents in connection
with a possible financing to be extended to Borrower or any of its subsidiaries
by Lender upon the effective date of a confirmed plan or reorganization in any
Bankruptcy Case, whether or not such financing closes; and in connection with
the Bankruptcy Cases (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees
and expenses incurred in connection with any action to lift the automatic stay
of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, any other action or participation by
Lender in the Bankruptcy Cases or any defense or participation by Lender in any
lender liability or other actions involving Lender or the validity, priority,
extent of liens or otherwise affecting the Collateral); and all such Costs shall
be included as additional Indebtedness bearing interest at the interest rate
then applicable to the Indebtedness until paid. For the purposes hereof "COSTS"
means all expenditures and expenses which may be paid or incurred by or on
behalf of Lender including repair costs, payments to remove or protect against
liens, attorneys' fees (including fees of Lender's inside counsel), receivers'
fees, engineers' fees, accountants' fees, independent consultants' fees
(including environmental consultants), all costs and expenses incurred in
connection with any of the foregoing, Lender's out-of-pocket costs and expenses
related to any audit or inspection of the Project, outlays for documentary and
expert evidence, stenographers' charges, stamp taxes, publication costs, and
costs (which may be estimates as to items to be expended after entry of an order
or judgment) for procuring all such abstracts of title, title and UCC searches,
and examination, title insurance policies, Torrens' Certificates and similar
data and assurances with respect to title as Lender may deem reasonably
necessary either to prosecute any action or to evidence to bidders at any
foreclosure sale of the Project the true condition of the title to, or the value
of, the Project or any part thereof.
-17-
8.2. DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION. Lender shall have the right (but shall
be under no obligation) to make available to any party for the purpose of
granting participations in or selling, transferring, assigning or conveying all
or any part of the Loan (including any governmental agency or authority and any
prospective bidder at any foreclosure sale of the Project or any part thereof)
any and all information which Lender may have with respect to the Project and
Borrower, whether provided by Borrower or any third party or obtained as a
result of any environmental assessments. Lender agrees to exercise reasonable
efforts to keep any confidential information delivered in connection with the
Loan Documents, confidential from Persons other than those employed by or
engaged by Lender and those employed by or engaged by Lender's assignees or
participants, or potential assignees or participants; provided, however, this
sentence shall not apply to disclosures required to be made by Lender to any
regulatory or governmental agency or pursuant to legal process or in connection
with any dispute with Borrower or arising out of the Loan Documents in any way.
Borrower agrees that Lender shall have no liability whatsoever as a result of
delivering any such information to any third party, and Borrower, on behalf of
itself and its successors and assigns, hereby release and discharge Lender from
any and all liability, claims, damages, or causes of action, arising out of,
connected with or incidental to the delivery of any such information to any
third party.
8.3. SALE OF LOAN. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein but subject to the exceptions listed below, so long as no Event of

Loan without the prior written consent of ALC, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The immediately preceding
sentence shall not apply to the following situations: (i) the sale (or
repurchase) by Lender of any participation(s) in all or any part of its interest

Loan (or any portion thereof) if done in connection with the sale, assignment or
other disposition of all or any substantial portion of Lender's portfolio of
real estate or healthcare loans of a similar nature.
8.4. FORBEARANCE BY LENDER NOT A WAIVER. Any forbearance by Lender in
exercising any right or remedy under any of the Loan Documents, or otherwise
afforded by applicable law, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of
any right or remedy. Lender's acceptance of payment of any sum secured by any of
the Loan Documents after the due date of such payment shall not be a waiver of
Lender's right to either require prompt payment when due of all other sums so
secured or to declare a default for failure to make prompt payment. The
procurement of insurance or the payment of taxes or other liens or charges by
Lender shall not be a waiver of Lender's right to accelerate the maturity of the
Loan, nor shall Lender's receipt of any awards, proceeds, or damages under
Section 4 of the Mortgage operate to cure or waive Borrower's default in payment
of sums secured by any of the Loan Documents. With respect to all Loan
Documents, only waivers made in writing by Lender shall be effective against
Lender. Lender may, in its sole discretion, waive,
-18-
temporarily or permanently, any condition to the making of the Loan or any other
term in any of the Loan Documents, by delivering a written confirmation thereof
to Borrower.
8.5. GOVERNING LAW; SEVERABILITY. The Loan Documents shall be governed
by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Illinois,
except that the provisions of the laws of the state in which each Mortgage is
recorded shall be applicable to the creation, perfection and enforcement of the
lien created by that Mortgage. The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of
any provision of this Agreement shall not affect or impair the validity,
legality or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement, and to this end,
the provisions of this Agreement are declared to be severable.
8.6. RELATIONSHIP. The relationship between Lender and Borrower shall be
that of creditor-debtor only. No term in this Agreement or in the other Loan
Documents and no course of dealing between the parties shall be deemed to create
any relationship of agency, partnership or joint venture or any fiduciary duty
by Lender to any other party.
8.7. INDEMNITY. Borrower shall indemnify, protect, hold harmless and
defend Lender, its successors, assigns, shareholders, directors, officers,
employees, and agents from and against any and all loss, damage, cost, expense
(including reasonable attorneys' fees), and claims arising out of or in
connection with (a) the Project, (b) the Collateral, (c) the Bankruptcy Case,
(d) any act or omission of any Borrower or its employees or agents, whether
actual or alleged, and (e) any and all brokers' commissions or other costs of
similar type by any party in connection with the Loan, in each case except to
the extent arising from the indemnitee's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Upon written request by an indemnitee, Borrower will undertake, at its own costs
and expense, on behalf of such indemnitee, using counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the indemnitee, the defense of any legal action or proceeding whether or not
such indemnitee shall be a party and for which such indemnitee is entitled to be
indemnified pursuant to this section. At Lender's option, Lender may, at
Borrower's expense, prosecute or defend any action involving the priority,
validity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents.
8.8. NOTICE. Any notice or other communication required or permitted to
be given shall be in writing addressed to the respective party as set forth
below and may be personally served, telecopied or sent by overnight courier or
U.S. Mail and shall be deemed given: (a) if served in person, when served; (b)

INTERIM FINANCING ORDER

LITIGATION
1. Confidential Preliminary Inquiry of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC"). After the inception of the class action
securities litigation against ALC in February, 1999, the enforcement
division of the SEC informed ALC that the SEC had begun a confidential
preliminary inquiry. The SEC requested that ALC voluntarily participate
in the inquiry by providing documents the SEC had requested. ALC
voluntarily participated by providing those documents. The SEC has not
commenced any formal investigation to ALC's knowledge.
2. Assisted Living Concepts, Inc. v. National Union Fire Insurance Company
of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania ("NUFI"). This arbitration proceeding arises
out of the coverage dispute involving the Policy that NUFI issued
effective October 21, 1997, insuring ALC and its officers and directors
during the three-year policy period against claims of wrongful acts,
including securities claims. When the class action securities litigation
commenced, ALC tendered the claim to NUFI, which accepted it with a
reservation of rights. NUFI never issued any notice of rescission. In
fact, on September 1, 2000, NUFI consented to settlement of the class
action litigation, including payment of its full policy limits to
plaintiffs. However, at the same time and despite having consented to
the settlement of the class action and payment of its policy limits,
NUFI continues to assert a claim to rescission based on fraud in certain
of ALC's financial statements, later restated. NUFI alternatively
asserts the right to reimbursement from ALC, asserting that coverage is
excluded because the insureds "improperly profited." With regard to
NUFI's claims, in the settlement agreement NUFI agreed to cap its
potential recovery in an amount not to exceed $4 million. Under the
settlement agreement, even if NUFI were to prevail, any amount awarded
NUFI would not be due until 90 days after ALC satisfied its obligations
to the class action plaintiffs, with any such awarded amount
subordinated to new or refinancing of existing obligations. Because
mediation between the parties failed, ALC filed a Demand for Arbitration
on or about September 19, 2000. The parties have selected the
arbitrators, and no hearing is currently scheduled ; however, it is
anticipated that if there is a hearing, it will occur in the first
quarter of 2002.
3. Complaint Investigations at Xxxxxxx House, Xxxxxxxxx House and Xxxxxxxx
House. Between August 8, 2001 and August 16, 2001, the Department of
Health for the State of Indiana investigated complaints at the above
referenced facilities located in New Albany, Franklin and
Crawfordsville, Indiana, respectively. These investigations were to
ensure ALC's compliance with the Program Description agreed to with the
Department in early 2001 regarding services the Houses are authorized to
provide under Indiana law. To the best of ALC's knowledge, the
Department has taken no action as a result of the investigations.

upon collections for the previous three (3) months annualized.
"MONTHLY EFFECTIVE RENT" means an amount equal to (x) total rent due over the

appliance and drapery replacement and such others as reasonably determined by
Lender), (ii) real estate taxes, (iii) management fees (whether paid or not) in
an amount not less than four percent (4%) of effective gross income, and (iv) a
replacement reserve (whether drawn and whether reserved or not) of not less than

Borrower complies and throughout the term of the Loan will comply in all
material respects with all federal, state and local laws, regulations,
quality and safety standards, accreditation standards and requirements
applicable to use and operation of the Facilities of the applicable
state regulatory authority (each a "DOH") and all other federal, state

in all material respects with all insurance, reimbursement and cost
reporting requirements, and will have a provider agreement in full force
and effect under Medicare and Medicaid, as applicable.

including Medicare, Medicaid, Blue Cross and/or Blue Shield, and any
other private commercial insurance managed care and employee assistance
program (such programs, the "THIRD-PARTY PAYORS' PROGRAMS") to which
Borrower presently or at any time hereafter is subject. All Medicaid,
Medicare, and private insurance cost reports and financial reports
submitted by Borrower are and will be materially accurate and complete
and have not been and will not be misleading in any material respects.

otherwise disclosed in Exhibit R-2 hereto.
(g) Except as otherwise disclosed to Lender before the Closing
Date, none of Borrower or the Facilities is or will be the subject of

retain patients at a Facility; or
(ii) Have a material adverse effect on Borrower's ability

the Licensed Use or result in the imposition of a fine or
sanction or a lower rate certification or a lower reimbursement
rate for services rendered to eligible patients;
(iii) Modify, limit or annul or result in the transfer,
suspension, or revocation or imposition of probationary use of
any of the Licenses; or

officer or director of Borrower by any governmental agency during the
last three calendar years, and there have been no violations over the
past three years which would threaten the Facilities' or Borrower's
certification for participation in Medicare or Medicaid or the other
Third-Party Payors' Programs.
-3-

Xxxx-Xxxxxx Act (42 U.S.C. 291, et seq.).
(l) Borrower will not pledge its receivables related to the
Facilities as collateral security for any other loan or indebtedness.
(m) There are no and there will remain no patient or resident
care agreements with patients or residents or with any other persons
which deviate in any material adverse respect from the standard form
customarily used at the Facilities as of the date hereof, a copy of
which standard form agreement has been delivered to Lender.
(n) All patient or resident records at the Facilities, including
patient or resident trust fund accounts, are true and correct in all
material respects, and will remain true and correct in all material
respects.

or operator thereunder shall be subject to Lender's reasonable approval

terminated without Lender's prior consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. ALC will manage and operate each of the
Facilities at all times. In the event of foreclosure or other
acquisition of the Facilities by Lender or its designee or any purchaser
at a foreclosure sale, Borrower, Lender, any subsequent operator or any
subsequent purchaser need not obtain a CON prior to applying for and
receiving Medicare or Medicaid payments, as applicable.
(p) None of Borrower or the Facilities shall, other than in the
normal course of business, change the terms of any of the Third-Party
Payors' Programs now or hereinafter in effect or their normal billing
payment or reimbursement policies and procedures with respect thereto
(including the amount and timing of finance charges, fees and
write-offs).
(q) On or before the Closing Date and from time to time
thereafter, upon the request of Lender, and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, Borrower shall complete, execute and deliver to Lender
any applications, notices, documentation, and other information
necessary or desirable, in Lender's sole judgment, to permit Lender or
its designee (including a receiver) to obtain, maintain or renew any one
or more of the Licenses for the Facilities (or to become the owner of
the existing Licenses for the
-4-
Facilities) and to obtain any other provider agreements, licenses or
governmental authorizations then necessary or desirable for the
operation of the Facilities by Lender or its designee for the Licensed
Use (including, without limitation, any applications for change of
ownership of the existing Licenses or change of control of the owner of
the existing Licenses). Upon an occurrence of an Event of Default but
subject to the Financing Orders, (i) Lender is hereby authorized
(without the consent of Borrower) to submit any such applications,
notices, documentation or other information which Borrower caused to be
delivered to Lender in accordance with the above provisions to the
applicable governmental authorities, or to take such other steps as
Lender may deem advisable to obtain, maintain or renew any License or
other license or governmental authorization in connection with the
operation of the Facilities for the Licensed Use, and Borrower agrees to
cooperate with Lender in connection with the same and (ii) Borrower,
upon demand by Lender, shall take any action necessary or desirable, in
Lender's sole judgment, to permit Lender or its designee (including a
receiver) to use, operate and maintain the Facilities for the Licensed
Use. If Borrower fails to comply with the provisions of this subsection
(q) for any reason whatsoever, but subject to the Financing Orders
Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender and its designee as
Borrower's attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to take
any action and execute any documents and instruments necessary or
desirable in Lender's sole judgment to permit Lender or its designee to
undertake Borrower's obligations under this subsection (q), including
without limitation, obtaining any licenses or governmental
authorizations then required for the operation of the Facilities by
Lender or its designee for the Licensed Use. The foregoing power of
attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable and Lender may
exercise its rights thereunder in addition to any other remedies which
Lender may have against Borrower as a result of Borrower's breach of the
obligations contained in this subsection (q).
(r) Borrower shall at all times fully comply in all material
respects with all obligations under the contracts and leases with
residents of the Facilities, and Borrower shall not commit or permit any
default by Borrower thereunder. Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds
harmless Lender and agrees to defend Lender (with counsel acceptable to
Lender) from and against any (i) claims, proceedings or causes of action
brought by any resident of the Facilities, and (ii) loss, damage, cost
or expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred or suffered
by Lender as a result of any (x) breach by Borrower of any contract or
lease with a resident of the Facilities or (y) violation of any license
or any federal, state or local law governing the Facilities or the use,
operation or maintenance thereof for the Licensed Use, in each case
except to the extent arising from such indemnitee's gross negligence or
willful misconduct.
