4.6 Deposits.
4.6.1 Lessor's Option. At the option of Lessor upon the
occurrence ofan event or circumstance which, with the giving
of notice and/or the passage of time, would constitute a
Lease Default, which may be exercised at any time
thereafter, Lessee shall, upon written request of Lessor, on
the first day on the calendar month immediately following
such request, and on the first day of each calendar month
thereafter during the Term (each of which dates is referred
to as a "Monthly Deposit Date"), pay to and deposit with
Lessor a sum equal to one-twelfth (1/1?th) ofthe Impositions
to be levied, charged, filed, assessed or imposed upon or
against the Leased Property within one (1) year after said
Monthly Deposit Date and a sum equal to one-twelfth (1/l2th)
ofthe premiums for the insurance policies required pursuant
to Article 12 which are payable within one ( 1 ) year after
said Monthly Deposit Date. Ifthe amount ofthe Impositions to
be levied, charged, assessed or imposed or insurance
premiums to be paid within the ensuing one (1) year period
shall not be fixed upon any Monthly Deposit Date, such
amount for the purpose of computing the deposit to be made
by Lessee hereunder shall be estimated by Lessor based upon
the most recent available information concerning said
Impositions wiih an appropriate adjustment to be promptly
made between Lessor and Lessee as soon as such amount
becomes determinable. In addition, Lessor may, at its
option, from time to time require that any particular
deposit be greater than one-twelfth (I/l2th) ofthe estimated
amount payable within one ( 1 ) year after said Monthly
Deposit Date, if such additional deposit is required in
order to provide to Lessor a sufficient fund from which to
make payment of all Impositions on or before the next due
date of any installment thereof, or to make payment of any
required insurance premiums not later than the due date
thereof.
4:6.2 Use of Deposits. The sums deposited by Lessee under
this Section 4.6 shall be held by Lessor and shall be
applied in payment of the Impositions or insurance
27
premiums, as the case may be, when due. Any such deposits
may be commingled with other assets of Lessor, and shall be
deposited by Lessor at such bank as lessor may, from time

deposits in one or-more of the investment vehicles
described on SCHEDULE 4.fi.2 attached hereto and
incorporated by reference, Lessor shall not be liable to
Lessee or any other Person (a) based on Lessor's (or such
bank's) choice ofinvestment vehicles, (b) for any consequent

of funds based on such choice of investment. Furthermore,
Lessor shall bear no responsibilitv for the financial
condition of, nor any act or omission by, Lessor's
depositorv bank. The income from such investment or interest
on such deposit shall be paid to Lessee on a semi-annual
basis as long as no Lease Default has occurred and is then
continuing, and as long as no fact or circumstance etists
which, with the giving of notice and/or the passage of time,
would constitute a Lease Default. Lessee shall give not less
than ten (10) days prior written notice to Lessor in each
instance when an Imposition or insurance premium is due,
specifying the Imposition or premium to be paid and the
amount thereof, the place ofpayment, and the last day on
which the same may be paid in order to comply with the
requirements of this Lease. If Lessor, in violation of its
obligations under this Lease, does not pay any Imposition or
insurance prerriium when due, for which a sufficient deposit
exists, Lessee shall not be in default hereunder by virtue
ofthe failure of Lessor to pay such Imposition or such
insurarice premium and Lessor shall pay any interest or fine
assessed by virtue of Lessor's failure to pay such
Imposition or insurance premium.
4.6.3 Deficits. If for any reason anv deposit held by Lessor
under this Section 4.6 shall not be sufficient to pay an
Imposition or insurance premium within the time specified
therefor in this Lease, then, within ten (10) days after

with Lessor, increasing the deposit held by Lessor so that
Lessor holds sufficient funds to pay such Imposition or
premium in full (or in installments as otherwise provided
for herein), toaether with any penalty or interest due
thereon. Lessor may change its estimate of any Imposition or
insurance premium for any period on the basis of a change in
an assessment or taY 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 Lessor, Lessee
shall deposit with Lessor the amount in excess of the sums
previously deposited with Lessor for the applicable period
which would theretofore llave been payable under the revised
estimate.
4.6.4 Other Properties. Ifany Imposition shall be levied,
charged, filed,
assessed, or imposed upon or against the Leased Property,
and if such lmposition shall also be a levy, charge,
assessment, or imposition upon or for any other real or
personal property that does not constitute a part of the
Leased Propertv but for which a lie-n exists
P P
or can exist on the Leased Pro ertv, then, at Lessor s
reasonable discretion, the computation ofthe amounts to be
deposited under this Section 4.6 shall be based upon the
entire amount of such Imposition and Lessee shall not have

restrictive covenants set forth. hereinabove shall be
valid and enforceable as specifically set forth herein.

unique, extraordinary and reasonably necessarv for the
protection of Lessor and any Purchaser and that the

remedies available at law or hereunder, in the event that
any of the Limited Parties breaches any of the restrictive

covenants, then Lessor and any Purchaser shall be entitled

ofposting a bond) and to recover any and all costs and
expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses and court costs) incurred in
enforcing the provisions of this Section 11.5.4. The
existence of any claim or cause of action of any of the
Limited Parties or any member of the Leasirig Group against
Lessor or any Purchaser, whether predicated on this Lease or
otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement
by Lessor or any Purchaser ofthe foregoing restrictive
covenants and the Limited Pairties shall not defend on the
basis that there is an adequate remedy at law.

parties hereto acknowledae that the foregoing restrictive
covenants are severable and separate. Ifat any time any of
the foreaoing restrictive covenants shall be deemed invalid
or unenforceable by a court xxxxxx jurisdiction over this
Lease, by reason of beina 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 immediatel5 amended and reformed to include only
such covenants as are deemed reasonable and enforceable by
the court having jurisdiction over this Lease to the full
duration, geographic scope and scope of restrictive
activities deemed reasonable and thus enforceable by said
court; and the pairties agree that such covenar.ts as so
amended and reformed, shall be valid and b?nding as throuah
the invalid or unenforceable portion has not been included
therein.
The provisions of this Section I 1.5.4 shall survive the
termination of the Lease and any satisfaction ofthe Lease
Obliaations in connection therewith or subsequent thereto.

aggregate past service liability thereby created.

action under this Lease or any of the other Lease Documents

Lessor thereafter to insist upon strict compliance with the
ternzs of this Lease or any of the other Lease Documents, or
(d) prevent the exercise of such right of acceleration or
any other right granted hereunder or under applicable law

insurance shall be on terms consistent with the
comprehensive all risk insurance policy required under this
Section 1.05 except that the deductible on such insurance
shall be commercially reasonable and if not available from a
private carrier then from the government to the extent
available
(ii) comprehensive general liability insurance, including
bodily injury, death and property damage liability, and
umbrella liability insurance against any and all claims,
including all legal liability to the extent insurable,
imposed upon Beneficiary and all court costs and attorneys
fees and expenses, arising out of or connected with the
possession, use, leasing, operation, maintenance or
condition of the Premises, in such amounts as are
10
generally available at reasonable premiums and are generally
required by institutional lenders for properties comparable
to the Premises;
(iii) business interruption insurance, with loss payable to
Beneficiary, in an amount sufficient to avoid any co-
insurance penalty and to provide proceeds for a period not
less than one (1) year of loss of business income, the term
"business income" to mean the total anticipated gross income
to be received by Grantor from the use and occupancy of the
Premises and the sale of goods and rendering of services at
the Premises, reduced to the extent such amounts would not
be received because of expenses not incurred during a period
of non-operation of that portion of the Premises then not
being operated. Beneficiary shall be entitled to the
insurance proceeds to the extent necessary to satisfy all
amounts due and payable to Beneficiary under the Note, which
insurance proceeds shall be held by Beneficiary and shall be
applied to the Obligations secured hereunder from time to
time due and payable hereunder and under the Note; provided,
however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to
relieve Grantor of its Obligations secured hereunder except
to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the
proceeds of such business income insurance;
(iv) workers' compensation, subject to the statutory limits
of the state in which the Premises are located, and
employer's liability insurance;
(v) comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance, if
applicable, in amounts as shall be reasonably required by
Beneficiary on terms consistent with the comprehensive all
risk insurance policy required under Subsection 1.05(a)(i);
(vi) umbrella liability insurance in an amount not less than
$30,000,000 on terms consistent with the commercial general
liability insurance policy required under Subsection
1.05(a)(ii); and
(vii) such other insurance and in such amount as (a)
Beneficiary from time to time may reasonably request, or (b)
Grantor, as a prudent owner of the Premises, deems
appropriate, against such other insurable hazards which at
the time are commonly insured against for property similar
to the Premises and used as an assisted living facility.
(b) Ratings. All policies of insurance (the "Policies")
required pursuant to this Section 1.05 shall be issued by an
insurer authorized to do business in the state in which the
Premises are located and having an A.M. Best rating of A:V
or better and a Standard & Poor's claims-paying ability
rating of not less than the greater of(A) for so long as any
Securities shall have been issued and be outstanding, one
rating category below the higher rating assigned to any such
outstanding Securities, and (B) "BBB."
11
(c) Blanket Policies. The insurance coverage required under
Subsection 1.05(a) may be effected under a blanket policy or
policies covering the Premises and other property assets not
constituting a part of the Premises provided that (i) each
such blanket policy, except in the case of liability
insurance, shall specify thereon the total insurance
allocated to the Premises, which amount shall be not less
than that required hereunder, (ii) each such blanket policy
shall otherwise comply in all respects with this Deed of
Trust, and (iii) Beneficiary shall be named as an additional
insured under each such blanket policy to the extent
required hereunder.
(d) Additional Insured. All Policies of insurance provided
for or contemplated by Subsection 1.05(a), except for the
Policy referenced in Subsection 1.05(a)(iv), shall name
Beneficiary and Trustee as the insured or additional
insured, as their respective interests may appear, and in
the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and
earthquake insurance, shall contain a so-called New York
standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of
Beneficiary providing that the loss thereunder shall be
payable to Beneficiary notwithstanding the negligent or
wilful acts of omissions of Grantor.
(e) Form and Endorsements. All Policies shall be in such
form and with such endorsements as are comparable to the
forms of and endorsements to the Policies in effect, on the
date hereof or otherwise in accordance with commercially
reasonable standards applied by prudent owners of assisted
care facilities in the general vicinity of the Mortgaged
Property. A certificate of insurance with respect to all
such Policies has been delivered to Beneficiary and
originals or certified copies of all such Policies shall be
delivered to Beneficiary when the same are available and
shall be held by Beneficiary. All Policies shall contain:
(i) to the extent available at commercially reasonable
rates, a waiver of subrogation endorsement as to
Beneficiary; (ii) a provision that no Policy shall be
impaired or invalidated by virtue of any act, failure to
act, negligence of, or violation ofd eclarations, warranties
or conditions contained in such Policy by Grantor,
Beneficiary or Trustee or any other named insured,
additional insured or loss payee, except for the wilful
misconduct of Beneficiary or Trustee knowingly in violation
of the conditions of such Policy; (iii) an endorsement
providing for a deductible per loss of an amount not more
than that which is customarily maintained by prudent owners
of assisted care facilities in the general vicinity of the
Premises (but in no event greater than $ 100,000); (iv) a
provision that such Policies shall not be canceled,
terminated or expire without at lest thirty (30) days prior
written notice to Beneficiary in each instance; and (v) to
the extent Grantor determines such a waiver is available at
commercially reasonable rates, effective waivers by the
insurer of all claims for insurance premiums against all
loss payees, additional insureds and named insureds (other
than Grantor). Grantor shall deliver or cause to be
delivered to Beneficiary (y) not less than thirty (30) days
prior to the expiration date of any of the Policies required
to be maintained hereunder, evidence reasonably satisfactory
to Beneficiary that such Policies will be renewed or
replaced and (z) prior to the expiration date of such
Policies, among other things, an original of the certificate
of insurance and evidence of payment of the applicable
premium for such renewal
12
or replacement. Certified copies of such replacement
insurance policies shall be delivered to Beneficiary
promptly after Grantor's receipt thereof but in any case
within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof by Grantor. If
Grantor fails to maintain and deliver to Beneficiary the
certificates of insurance required by this Deed of Trust,
Beneficiary may, in accordance with the provisions hereof,
procure such insurance at the expense of Grantor, to be
promptly reimbursed by Grantor.
Delivery of Statements. Grantor shall furnish to Beneficiary
annually a statement certified by Grantor or a duly
authorized officer of Grantor of the amounts of insurance
maintained in compliance herewith, of the risks covered by
such insurance and of the insurance company or companies
which carry such insurance and, if requested by Beneficiary,
verification of the adequacy of such insurance by an
independent insurance broker or appraiser to Beneficiary.
(g) Protection of Beneficiary. If at any time Grantor fails
to maintain the insurance policies required hereunder,
Beneficiary shall have the right, without notice to Grantor,
to take such action as Beneficiary deems necessary to
protect its interest in the Premises, including, without
limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as
Beneficiary in its sole discretion deems appropriate, and
all reasonable expenses incurred by Beneficiary in
connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance
and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Grantor to
Beneficiary upon demand and until paid shall be secured by
this Deed of Trust and shall bear interest in accordance
with Section 2.05(b) of the Credit Agreement.
(h) Proceeds. All Insurance Proceeds shall be paid to
Beneficiary for application pursuant to Section 1.09. If the
Mortgaged Properly shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole
or in part, by fire or other casualty, Grantor shall give
prompt notice of such damage to Beneficiary. Grantor shall
promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of
the repair and restoration of the Premises as nearly as
possible to the condition the Premises were in immediately
prior to such fire or other casualty, with such alterations
as may be approved by Beneficiary (the "Restoration") and
otherwise in accordance with Section 1.09. Grantor shall pay
all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are
covered by insurance. Beneficiary may, but shall not be
obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by
Grantor. To the extent that the Insurance Proceeds received
in connection with such damage or destruction of the
Mortgaged Property are less than $15,000, then Grantor shall
have the right to use such Insurance Proceeds without
Beneficiary's consent.
(i) Event of Foreclosure. In the event of foreclosure of
this Deed of Trust, or other transfer of title to the
Premises in extinguishment in whole or in part of the
Obligations, all right, title and interest of Grantor in and
to such policies then in force concerning the Premises and
all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the
purchaser at such foreclosure or Beneficiary or other
transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
13
(j) No Separate Insurance. Grantor shall not carry separate
or additional insurance concurrent in form or contributing,
in the event of loss, with that required under the Credit
Agreement unless endorsed in favor of Beneficiary and
Trustee as loss payee or additional insured, as applicable,
and otherwise applicable to Beneficiary in all respects.
Nothing contained herein shall prohibit Grantor from holding
or obtaining an owner's policy of title insurance covering
the Premises.
SECTION 1.06. Liens and Liabilities. (a) Discharge of Liens.
Grantor will pay, bond or otherwise discharge, from time to
time when the same shall become due, all claims and demands
of mechanics, materialmen, laborers and others which, if
unpaid, might result in, or permit the creation of, a lien
on the Mortgaged Property.
(b) Creation of Liens. Grantor will not, without
Beneficiary's consent, create, place or permit to be created
or placed or allow to remain, and shall discharge and
release within ten (10) days of the placing thereof, any
deed of trust, mortgage, trust deed, voluntary or
involuntary lien, security interest or other encumbrance
against or covering the Mortgaged Property, other than
Permitted Encumbrances, whether or not subordinate hereto.
(c) No Consent. Nothing in this Deed of Trust shall be
deemed or construed in any way as constituting the consent
or request by Trustee or Beneficiary, express or implied, to
any contractor, subcontractor, laborer, mechanic or
materialman for the performance of any labor or the
furnishing of any material for any improvement,
construction, alteration or repair of the Premises. Grantor
further agrees that neither Trustee nor Beneficiary stands
in any fiduciary relationship to Grantor.
SECTION 1.07. Taxes and Other Charges. (a) Taxes on the
Premises. Grantor will promptly pay prior to delinquency and
before any penalty or interest may be added thereto, all
taxes, assessments, vault, water and sewer rents, rates,
charges and assessments, levies, permits, inspection and
license fees and other governmental and quasi-governmental
charges and any penalties or interest for non-payment
thereof, heretofore or hereafter imposed, or which may
become a lien, upon the Mortgaged Property or arising with
respect to the occupancy, use or possession thereof
(collectively, "Impositions"). Grantor will also pay any
penalty, interest or cost for non-payment of Impositions
which may become due and payable.
(b) Receipts. Unless Grantor is making monthly deposits
pursuant to Section 1.08, Grantor will furnish to
Beneficiary upon Beneficiary's request, proof of payment at
the time same is made, and thereafter, upon receipt,
validated receipts showing payment in full of all
Impositions.
14
(c) Increased Costs. In the event of the enactment after the
date hereof of any law in the state in which the Mortgaged
Property is located or any other governmental entity
deducting from the value of the Mortgaged Property for the
purpose of taxation any lien or security interest thereon,
or changing in any way the laws for the taxation of
mortgages, deeds of trust or other liens or debts secured
thereby, or the manner of collection of such taxes, so as to
affect this Deed of Trust, the Obligations, Beneficiary or
the holders of the Obligations, then, and in such event,
Grantor shall, on demand, pay to Beneficiary or such holder,
or reimburse Beneficiary or such holder for payment of, all
taxes, assessments, charges or liens for which Beneficiary
or such holder is or may be liable as a result thereof,
provided that if any such payment or reimbursement shall be
unlawful or would constitute usury or render the Obligations
wholly or partially usurious under applicable law, then
Beneficiary may, at its option, declare the Obligations
immediately due and payable or require Grantor to pay or
reimburse Beneficiary for payment of the lawful and non-
usurious portion thereof.
SECTION 1.08. Tax and Insurance Deposits. (a) Amount of
Deposits. Beneficiary may require that each month Grantor
deposit with Trustee, Beneficiary or any service or
financial institution designated for such purposes by
Beneficiary (whichever of the foregoing is applicable being
the "Depository"), one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual
Impositions and premiums for insurance required under
Section 1.05, and Grantor shall accordingly make such
deposits. In addition, if required by Beneficiary, Grantor
shall also deposit with the Depository a sum of money which,
together with the aforesaid monthly installments, will be
sufficient to make payments of Impositions and premiums at
least thirty (30) days before such payments are delinquent.
If the amount of any such payment is not ascertainable at
the time any such deposit is required to be made, the
deposit shall be made on the basis of Beneficiary s estimate
thereof, and when such amount is fixed for the then-current
year, Grantor shall promptly deposit any deficiency with the
Depository.
(b) Use of Deposits. All funds so deposited, until so
applied, shall constitute additional security for the
Obligations, shall be held by the Depository with interest
payable to Grantor (except to the extent required under
applicable law), may be commingled with other funds of the
Depository and, provided that no Event of Default (as
defined in Section 5.01) shall have occurred and be
continuing hereunder, shall be applied in payment of the
aforesaid amounts prior to their becoming delinquent. If an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
hereunder, or if the Obligations shall be accelerated as
herein provided, all funds so deposited may, at
Beneficiary's option, be applied to the Obligations in the
order determined by Beneficiary. If such deposits are being
made with the Depository, at least fifteen (15) days before
the date on which such charges first become payable, Grantor
shall furnish the Depository with bills for the charges for
which such deposits are required to be made hereunder and/or
such other documents necessary for the payment of the same.
15
SECTION 1.09. Damage and Destruction. (a) Grantor's
Obligations. In the event of any damage to or loss or
destruction of the Premises, Grantor shall (i) promptly
notify Beneficiary of such event and take such steps as
shall be necessary to preserve any undamaged portion of the
Premises and (ii) unless otherwise instructed by
Beneficiary, regardless whether the insurance proceeds, if
any, shall be sufficient for the purpose or shall be
otherwise applied by Beneficiary as provided herein,
promptly commence and diligently pursue to completion the
restoration, replacement and rebuilding of the Premises to
the condition of the Premises affected thereby immediately
prior to such damage, loss or destruction in accordance with
plans and specifications approved, and with other provisions
for the preservation of the security hereunder established,
by Beneficiary.
(b) Trustee's and Beneficiary's Rights; Application of
Proceeds. In the event that any portion of the Premises is
so damaged, destroyed or lost, and such damage, destruction
or loss is covered, in whole or in part, by insurance
required by Section 1.05, then, (i) Beneficiary or Trustee
may, but shall not be obligated to, make proof of loss if
not made promptly by Grantor and is hereby authorized and
empowered by Grantor to settle, adjust or compromise any
claims for damage, destruction or loss thereunder, (ii) each
insurance company concerned is hereby authorized and
directed to make payment therefor directly to Beneficiary or
Trustee; provided, however, that if all of the conditions
set forth in Section 1.09(c) are met and Grantor delivers a
written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to
satisfactorily complete with due diligence any such damage
or destruction in accordance with the terms hereof, the
insurance proceeds will be made available to Grantor in
accordance with Section 1.09(c).
(c) Proceeds for Restoration. Notwithstanding anything
provided herein to the contrary, if:
(i) less than (A) thirty percent (30%) of the Improvements
and (B) forty percent (40%) of the Land have been taken or
destroyed;
(ii) no monetary Default or Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing hereunder or under any of the other Loan
Documents and has not been waived;
(iii) the Restoration can, in Beneficiary's judgment, with
diligent work, be completed prior to the expiration of
business interruption insurance required hereunder;
(iv) the taking, fire or casualty did not occur during the
six (6) months prior to the maturity of the Note;
(v) all necessary governmental approvals can be obtained for
the Restoration;
16
(vi) there are sufficient sums available (through insurance
proceeds or condemnation awards and contributions by
Grantor, the full amount of which shall have been deposited
into an account pledged to Beneficiary) for the Restoration
(including, without limitation, for any reasonable costs and
expenses of Beneficiary to be incurred in administering said
restoration or repair) and for payment of principal and
interest to become due and payable under the Note during the
period necessary to complete the Restoration;
(vii) Grantor so elects by written notice delivered to
Beneficiary within thirty (30) days after settlement of the
aforesaid insurance or condemnation claim; and
(viii) the Restoration is done and diligently completed by
Grantor in compliance with all applicable Laws,
then, Beneficiary shall, solely for the purposes of the
Restoration, release so much of the remainder of such sums
as may be required for the Restoration, and any funds
deposited by Mortgagor therefor, to Mortgagor in the manner
and upon such terms and conditions as would be required by a
prudent interim construction lender, including, but not
limited to, the prior approval by Beneficiary of plans and
specifications, contractors and form of construction
contracts and the furnishing to Beneficiary of permits,
bonds, lien waivers, invoices, receipts and affidavits from
contractors and subcontractors, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary in its reasonable
discretion, with any remainder being applied by Beneficiary,
in its sole discretion, for payment of the Obligations in
whatever order Beneficiary directs in its absolute
discretion, with any remainder being paid to Grantor.
(d) Effect on the Obligations. Notwithstanding any loss,
damage or destruction referred to in this Section, Grantor
shall continue to pay and perform the Obligations as
provided herein. Any reduction in the Obligations resulting
from such application shall be deemed to take effect only on
the date of receipt by Beneficiary or Trustee of such
insurance proceeds and application against the Obligations,
provided that if prior to the receipt by Trustee or
Beneficiary of such insurance proceeds the Mortgaged
Property shall have been sold on foreclosure of this Deed of
Trust, or shall have been transferred by deed in lieu of
foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary shall have
the right to receive the same to the extent of any
deficiency found to be due upon such sale, with legal
interest thereon together with attorneys' fees and
disbursements incurred by Trustee or Beneficiary in
connection with the collection thereof.
SECTION 1.10. Condemnation. (a) Grantor's Obligations;
Proceedings. Grantor, promptly upon obtaining knowledge of
any pending or overtly threatened institution of any
proceedings for the condemnation of the Premises, or of any
right of eminent domain, or of any other proceedings arising
out of injury or damage to or decrease in the value of the
Premises, including a change in grade of any street, will
notify Beneficiary of the threat or pendency
17
thereof. Beneficiary may participate in any such
proceedings, and Grantor from time to time will execute and
deliver to Beneficiary all instruments requested by
Beneficiary or as may be required to permit such
participation. Grantor shall, at its expense, diligently
prosecute any such proceedings, shall deliver to Beneficiary
copies of all papers served in connection therewith and
shall consult and cooperate with Beneficiary, its attorneys
and agents, in the carrying on and defense of any such
proceedings; provided that no settlement of any such
proceeding shall be made by Grantor without Beneficiary's
consent.
(b) Trustee's and Beneficiary's Rights to Proceeds. All
proceeds of condemnation awards or proceeds of sale in lieu
of condemnation, and all judgments, decrees and awards for
injury or damage to the Premises (collectively, "Awards")
are hereby assigned and shall be paid to Beneficiary or
Trustee. Grantor authorizes Beneficiary and Trustee to
collect and receive the same, to give receipts and
acquittances therefor, and to appeal from any Awards.
(c) Application of Proceeds. Beneficiary shall have the
right to apply any Awards, first, to reimburse Trustee and
Beneficiary for all costs and expenses, and, sec4nd, the
remainder thereof in the manner provided in Section 1.09. In
the event that Grantor shall have received all or any
portion of such Awards, Grantor, upon demand from
Beneficiary, shall pay to Beneficiary or Trustee an amount
equal to the amount so received by Grantor, to be applied as
Beneficiary shall have the right pursuant to this
subsection. Notwithstanding anything herein or at law or in
equity to the contrary, none of the Awards paid to
Beneficiary or Trustee under this Section 1.10 shall be
deemed trust funds and Beneficiary or Trustee shall be
entitled to apply the same as provided in this Section 1.10.
(d) Effect on the Obligations. Notwithstanding any
condemnation, taking or other proceeding referred to in this
Section 1.10, Grantor shall continue to pay and perform the
Obligations as provided herein. Any reduction in the
Obligations resulting from such application shall be deemed
to take effect only on the date of receipt by Beneficiary or
Trustee of such Awards and application against the
Obligations, provided that if prior to the receipt by
Trustee or Beneficiary of such Awards the Mortgaged Property
shall have been sold on foreclosure of this Deed of Trust,
or shall have been transferred by deed in lieu of
foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary shall have
the right to receive the same to the extent of any
deficiency found to be due upon such sale, with legal
interest thereon together with attorneys' fees and
disbursements incurred by Trustee or Beneficiary in
connection with the collection thereof.
SECTION l.1l. Contest. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in Section 1.04(c),1.06 or 1.07, Grantor
shall have the right to contest in good faith and at its own
expense the validity or applicability of any duty or
obligation described in Section 1.04(c), the validity of any
lien, encumbrance, charge or security referred to in Section
1.06 and any Imposition imposed upon the Premises (a
"Contest") by an appropriate legal proceeding which
proceeding must operate to prevent the collection of such
Impositions or other realization thereon
18
and the sale or forfeiture of the Mortgaged Property or any
part thereof to satisfy the same; provided that during the
pendency of such Contest, Grantor shall provide security
satisfactory to Beneficiary, assuring the discharge of
Grantor's obligations that are the subject of such Contest
("Contested Impositions") and of any additional interest
charge, penalty or expense arising from or incurred as a
result of such Contest; and provided, further, that if at
any time payment of such Contested Impositions shall become
necessary to prevent (i) the delivery of a tax deed
conveying the Mortgaged Property because of non-payment or
(ii) the imposition of any civil or criminal penalty or
liability on Beneficiary, Trustee or the holders of the
Obligations, Grantor shall pay the same in sufficient time
to avoid the delivery of such tax deed or the imposition of
any such penalty or liability.
SECTION 1.12. Notice Limiting Amount. Grantor covenants that
it will not, without the prior written consent of
Beneficiary, file of record any notice limiting the maximum
principal amount secured by this Deed of Trust.
ARTICLE II
Assignment of Leases, Rents and Other Sums
SECTION 2.01. Assignment. (a) Grantor hereby absolutely and
presently bargains, sells, transfers, assigns and sets over
to Beneficiary, as further security for the payment of the
Obligations, all of its right, title and interest in and to
all current and future Leases and Rents payable thereunder
and all rights of Grantor thereunder and any and all
deposits held as security under the Leases, whether before
or after foreclosure or during the full period of
redemption, if any, and shall, upon demand, deliver to
Beneficiary an executed counterpart of each Lease. The
assignment of the Leases and Rents, and of the aforesaid
rights with respect thereto, is intended to be and is an
absolute present assignment from Grantor to Beneficiary and
not merely the passing of a security interest. Such
assignment and grant shall continue in effect until the
Obligations are paid, the execution of this Deed of Trust
constituting and evidencing the irrevocable consent of
Grantor to the entry upon and taking possession of the
Premises by Beneficiary pursuant to such grant, whether
foreclosure has been instituted or not and without applying
for a receiver. Until the occurrence of an Event of Default
hereunder, Grantor shall be entitled to collect and receive
the Rents. Such right of Grantor to collect and receive said
Rents shall be automatically revoked upon the occurrence of
an Event of Default and thereafter Trustee or Beneficiary
shall have the right and authority to exercise any of the
rights or remedies referred to or set forth in Article V. In
addition, upon such an Event of Default, Grantor shall
promptly pay to Trustee or Beneficiary (i) all rent
prepayments and security or other deposits paid to Grantor
pursuant to any lease assigned hereunder and (ii) all
charges for services or facilities or for escalation which
were paid pursuant to any such lease to the extent allocable
to any period from and after such Event of Default. Nothing
contained in this Section 2.01(a) shall be construed to bind
Beneficiary to the performance of any of the covenants,
conditions or
19
provisions contained in any Lease or otherwise to impose any
obligation on Beneficiary (including any liability under the
covenant of quiet enjoyment contained in any Lease or under
any applicable law in the event that any tenant shall have
been joined as a party defendant in any action to foreclose
this Deed of Trust and shall have been barred and foreclosed
thereby of all right, title and interest and equity of
redemption in the Premises), except that Beneficiary shall
be accountable for any money actually received pursuant to
such assignment. Grantor hereby further grants to
Beneficiary the right to notify the tenant under any Lease
of the assignment thereof and, after the occurrence of an
Event of Default hereunder (i) to demand that the tenant
under any Lease pay all amounts due thereunder directly to
Beneficiary, (ii) to enter upon and take possession of the
Premises for the purpose of collecting the Rents, (iii) to
dispossess by the usual summary proceedings any tenant
defaulting in the payment thereof, (iv) to let the Premises,
or any part thereof, and (v) to apply the Rents, after
payment of all necessary charges and expenses, on account of
the Obligations.
(b) If Grantor is not required to surrender possession of
the Premises hereunder in the event of any Event of Default,
Grantor will pay monthly in advance to Beneficiary, on its
entry into possession pursuant to Article V, or to any
receiver appointed to collect said Rents, the fair and
reasonable rental value for the use and occupation of the
Premises or such part thereof as may be in the possession of
Grantor. Upon a default in any such payment, Grantor will
vacate and surrender such possession to Beneficiary, Trustee
or such receiver, and, in default thereof, may be evicted by
summary or any other available proceedings or actions.
(c) Grantor will, as and when requested from time to time by
Beneficiary, execute, acknowledge and deliver to
Beneficiary, in form approved by Beneficiary, one or more
general or specific assignments of the lessor's interest
under any Lease. Grantor will, on demand, pay to
Beneficiary, or reimburse Beneficiary for the payment of any
costs or expenses incurred in connection with the
preparation or recording of any such assignment.
SECTION 2.02. Leases and Rents. (a) Grantor will (i) perform
or cause to be performed all the lessor's obligations under
any Lease, (ii) enforce (including the termination and
cancellation of any Lease, so long as the same is a bona
fide enforcement of Grantor's right as lessor under any such
Lease and such termination or cancellation, either by itself
or in the aggregate with other terminations and
cancellations, will not diminish or impair the security of
this Deed of Trust) the performance by the lessee under its
respective Lease of all of said lessee's obligations
thereunder and (iii) give Beneficiary prompt notice and a
copy of any notice of default, event of default, termination
or cancellation sent or received by Grantor.
(b)(i) Grantor will not, without Beneficiary's consent, (I)
assign, mortgage, pledge or otherwise transfer, dispose of
or encumber, whether by operation of law or otherwise, any
Lease or the Rents, (2) accept or permit the acceptance of a
prepayment of any amounts payable under such Lease for more
than one month in advance of the due date therefor, (3)
enter
20
into, amend or modify any Lease, (4) cancel, terminate or
accept a surrender of any Lease (5) enter into any Lease (A)
with Grantor or any affiliate of Grantor or its constituent
partners or (B) which would be a "disqualified lease", as
defined in Section 168(h)(1)(B)(ii) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Grantor will not enter
into or amend, without Beneficiary's consent, any Occupancy
Agreement other than in the ordinary course of business for
prudent assisted living facilities. "Occupancy Agreement"
means any agreement by and between Grantor and any resident
of the Premises.
(ii) Supplementing the provisions of clause (i) of this
Section 2.02(b), if the lessee under any Lease (or any
receiver, trustee, custodian or other party who succeeds to
the rights of any lessee) rejects or disaffirms such Lease
pursuant to any Bankruptcy Law, Grantor hereby assigns to
Beneficiary the proceeds of any claims (including the right
to retain or apply any security deposits) that Grantor may
have against the lessee (or receiver, trustee, custodian or
other party who succeeds to the rights of any lessee) and
any guarantor of any of the Leases, under any one or more of
the Leases or any guaranty thereof based upon (1) any breach
by such lessee of the terms and provisions of the applicable
Lease (including any claim that Grantor may have by reason
of a termination, rejection or disaffirmance of such Lease
pursuant to any Bankruptcy Law), and (2) the use and
occupancy of the premises demised thereby, whether or not
pursuant to the applicable Lease (including any claim for
use and occupancy arising under any Bankruptcy Law).
Grantor, immediately upon obtaining knowledge of any such
breach or use by any such lessee, will notify Beneficiary of
any such breach or use. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Beneficiary shall have the sole right to elect,
either:
(A) to proceed against such lessee or guarantor as if it
were the named lessor thereunder, in Grantor's name or in
Beneficiary's name as agent for Grantor and Grantor agrees
to cooperate with Beneficiary in such action and shall
execute any and all documents required in furtherance of
such action; or
(B) to have Grantor proceed in Grantor's and Beneficiary's

whether made under the power of sale herein granted or by
virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of

from time to time. The power of sale set forth in Section
5.02(c) hereof shall not be exhausted by any one or more

receive the proceeds of said sale or sales and apply the
same as herein provided. Each of Trustee and Beneficiary is
hereby appointed the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of
Grantor, which appointment is irrevocable and shall be
deemed to be coupled with an interest, in Grantor's name and
stead, to make all necessary conveyances, assignments,
transfers and deliveries of the property and rights so sold,
and for that purpose Trustee and Beneficiary may execute all
necessary instruments of conveyance, assignment, transfer
and delivery, and may substitute one or more persons with
like power, Grantor hereby ratifying and confirming all that
said attorney or such substitute or substitutes shall
lawfully do by virtue thereof. Nevertheless, Grantor, if
requested by Trustee or Beneficiary, shall ratify and
confirm any such sale or sales by executing and delivering

any Event of Default, or as to Beneficiary having declared
all or any of the Obligations to be due and payable, or as
to the request to sell, or as to notice of time, place and
terms of sale and of the property or rights to be sold
having been duly given, or as to the refusal, failure or
inability to act of Trustee, or as to the appointment of any
substitute or successor trustee, or as to any other act or
thing having been duly done by Grantor, Beneficiary, or by
Trustee, shall be taken as conclusive and binding against
all persons as to evidence of the truth of the facts so
stated and recited. Trustee or Beneficiary may appoint or
delegate any one or more persons as agent to perform any act
or acts necessary or incident to any sale so held, including
the posting of notices and the conduct of sale, but in the
name and on behalf of Trustee.

money paid at any such sale, or the receipt of any other
person authorized to receive the same, shall be sufficient
discharge therefor to any purchaser of any property or
rights sold as aforesaid, and no such purchaser, or its
representatives, grantees or assigns, after paying such
purchase price and receiving such receipt, shall be bound to
see to the application of such purchase price or any part
thereof upon or for any trust or purpose of this Deed of
Trust or, in any manner whatsoever, be answerable for any
loss, misapplication or non-application of any such purchase
money, or part thereof, or be bound to inquire as to the
authorization, necessity, expediency or regularity of any
such sale.
(f) Any such sale or sales shall operate to divest all of
the estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand
whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, of Grantor in and
to the properties and rights so sold, and shall be a
perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Grantor and
any and all persons claiming or who may claim the same, or
any part thereof or any interest therein, by, through or
under Grantor to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law.

acquire the Mortgaged Property and, in lieu of paying cash
therefor, may make settlement for the purchase price by
crediting against the Obligations the amount of the bid made
therefor, after deducting therefrom the expenses of the
sale, the cost of any enforcement proceeding hereunder, and
any other sums which Trustee or Beneficiary is authorized to
deduct under the terms hereof, to the extent necessary to
satisfy such bid.
(h) In the event that Grantor, or any person claiming by,
through or under Grantor, shall transfer or refuse or fail
to surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property after any
sale thereof, then Grantor, or such person, shall be deemed
a tenant at sufferance
28
of the purchaser at such sale, subject to eviction by means
of forcible entry and unlawful detainer proceedings, or
subject to any other right or remedy available hereunder or
under applicable law.
(i) Upon any such sale, it shall not be necessary for
Trustee, Beneficiary or any public officer acting under
execution or order of court to have present or
constructively in its possession any of the Mortgaged
Property.
(j) In the event a foreclosure hereunder shall be commenced
by Trustee or Beneficiary, Trustee or Beneficiary may at any
time before the sale of the Mortgaged Property abandon the
sale, and may institute suit for the collection of the
Obligations and for the foreclosure of this Deed of Trust,
or in the event that Trustee or Beneficiary should institute
a suit for collection of the Obligations, and for the
foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary may at any
time before the entry of final judgment in said suit dismiss
the same and require Trustee or Beneficiary to sell the
Mortgaged Property in accordance with the provisions of this
Deed of Trust.

delay or omission by Trustee or Beneficiary to exercise any
right or remedy hereunder upon any default or Event of
Default shall impair such exercise, or be construed to be a
waiver of any such default or Event of Default.
(b) The failure, refusal or waiver (by consent, waiver or
otherwise) of Trustee or Beneficiary to assert any right or
remedy hereunder upon any default or Event of Default or
other occurrence shall not be construed as waiving such
right or remedy upon any other or subsequent default or
Event of Default or other occurrence.
(c) Neither Trustee nor Beneficiary shall have any
obligation to pursue any rights or remedies it may have
under any other agreement prior to pursuing its rights or
remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.
(d) Acceptance of any payment after the occurrence of any

of any payment less than any amount then due shall be deemed
an acceptance on account only.
(e) In the event that Trustee or Beneficiary shall have
proceeded to enforce any right or remedy hereunder by
foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding
shall be discontinued, abandoned or determined adversely for
any reason, then Grantor and Beneficiary shall be restored

Trustee all of the estate and title in the Mortgaged
Property of Trustee so ceasing to act, together with all the

hereby ratifies and confirms any and all acts which Trustee
herein named or its successor or successors, substitute or
substitutes, in this trust, shall do lawfully by virtue
hereof.
