(vi) Amounts paid or payable by Seller to merchants' and other

(vii) Deposits on account with any utility company servicing the

(including accrued interest thereon, if any);
(viii) Any rents or other amounts prepaid or payable under the
Resident Agreements and the Leases shall be apportioned between the parties.
All security deposits or reserves (and all interest earned thereon as
required by either Legal Requirements or by the terms of the applicable
Resident Agreements and the Leases) deposited under any of the Resident
Agreements and the Leases shall be transferred or credited to Purchaser. As
used in this Agreement, the term "rents" includes all rentals, additional

presumed between Purchaser and Seller that all rents received after the
Closing Date from Residents and/or tenants under the Leases and the Resident
Agreements with rental delinquencies on the Closing Date shall be applied as
follows: (i) first, to rent then due and payable to Purchaser (including any
previously unpaid or delinquent rent then due and payable to Purchaser), (ii)
second, to rent due for the period in which the Closing occurs, to be
apportioned as provided above; (iii) third, to the delinquent rents of such
Residents and/or tenants under the Leases and Resident Agreements

fourth, to future rent due and payable to Purchaser. The amount of any
refund or credit due to tenants under the Leases or as the result of the
collection by or on behalf of Seller prior to the Closing Date of
contributions by such tenants for operating expenses and/or taxes
(collectively, "TENANT ITEMS") which exceed the actual amount of such
operating expenses and/or taxes payable by such tenants with respect to
periods prior to the Closing Date shall be prorated as soon as such actual
operating expenses and/or taxes are known, and Seller shall promptly pay to
Purchaser upon demand the amount due as a result of such proration. Seller
shall not have the right to xxx for or take any other legal action relating
to unpaid rents attributable to periods preceding the Closing Date. Seller
agrees to cooperate with Purchaser in the preparation of the financial
statements and other financial data respecting the ownership and operation of
the Real Property for calendar year 2001 and 2002, and subsequent periods for
which such statements and data must be prepared in order to compute, charge
and prorate the Tenant Items. As soon as reasonably possible after the
preparation of the aforesaid financial statements and data, Purchaser will
render statements for the Tenant Items to the tenants and Residents of the
Real Property under their respective Leases and Resident Agreements. From
time to time as Purchaser receives payment of the Tenant Items from the
tenants and/or Residents, Purchaser will retain amounts attributable to
Tenant Items due Purchaser and will promptly remit to Seller that portion of
the Tenant Items allocable to the Real Property prior to the Closing Date; and
(ix) All other items customarily apportioned in connection with
the sale of similar properties similarly located.
B. Apportionment of real property taxes, water rates and charges,
sewer taxes and rents and vault charges shall be made on the basis of the
most recently ended fiscal year of Seller for which such taxes, rents and
charges were assessed. Purchaser agrees to assume liability for any- real
property tax rate, water rates or charges, sewer taxes or rents or vault
charges fixed, for periods after the Closing Date.
C. The amount of any of the unpaid taxes, assessments, water charges,
sewer rents and vault charges which Seller is obligated to pay and discharge,
with interest and penalties thereon (if any) to the Closing Date may, at
Seller's option, be credited to Purchaser out of the balance of the Purchase
Price, provided that official invoices therefor with interest and penalties
thereon (if any) are furnished by Seller at the Closing and provided that the
Title Company will xxxx same as paid and omit same as exceptions from
Purchaser's title insurance policy.
D. If any refund of real property taxes, water rates or charges, sewer
taxes or rents or vault charges is made after the Closing Date covering a
period prior to the Closing Date, the same shall be applied first to the
reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in obtaining same and the balance, if
any, of such refund shall, to the extent received by Purchaser, be paid to
Seller (for the period prior to the Closing Date) and to the extent received
by Seller, be paid to Purchaser (for the period commencing with the Closing
Date).
E. If there shall be any meters measuring water consumption or sewer
usage at the Real Property (other than meters measuring water consumption or
sewer usage for which Seller is obligated to pay directly to the taxing
authority or utility), Seller shall attempt to obtain readings to a date not
more than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date. If such readings are
not obtained (and if such readings are obtained, then with respect to any
period between such reading and the Closing Date), water rates and charges
and sewer taxes and rents, if any, shall be apportioned based upon the last
meter readings, subject to reapportionment when readings for the relevant
period are obtained after the Closing Date.
F. If any adjustment or apportionment is miscalculated at the Closing,
or the complete and final information necessary for any adjustment is
unavailable at the Closing, the affected adjustment shall be calculated as
soon as practicable after the Closing. The provisions of this ARTICLE 7 shall
survive through and including the date that is one year after the Closing
Date.

pursuant to the preceding clause (A), Purchaser shall have the right, by
notice in writing to Seller within five (5) days of the receipt of Seller's

ARTICLE 11
TITLE INSURANCE.
A. SURVEY. Within three days of the date hereof Seller shall deliver
to Purchaser whatever surveys that Seller has in its file of each Property
(the "SURVEYS") showing the location of all improvements, easements,
encroachments and other matters.
B. EVIDENCE OF TITLE. Purchaser shall obtain as expeditiously as
possible, but in no event later than fourteen (14) days after the date
hereof, a report of title for the Real Property issued by the Title Company
(the "TITLE REPORT"). At Closing, Purchaser and Seller shall each pay one
half to the Title Company (with Seller's portion not to exceed $75,000.00) of
the entire amount of the premium payable for an ALTA owner's title insurance
policy and endorsements reasonably required by Purchaser, without standard
exceptions for parties in possession, mechanics' liens, and matters of
survey, and subject only to the Permitted Exceptions, in the amount of the
Purchase Price, naming Purchaser as the insured (the "TITLE POLICY"), and
Title Company shall xxxx up and acknowledge the Title Report so as to
constitute a Title Policy as of the Closing Date. The legal descriptions
embodied within said Title Reports shall conform in all respects to the
Surveys. Seller, to the extent available, will deliver to Purchaser any ALTA
survey and title policy it may have in its possession.
C. OBJECTIONS TO TITLE. For purposes of this Agreement, the term
"Permitted Exceptions" means those exceptions set forth in the Title Reports.
Other than (i) mechanics' liens for which Seller or any occupant of the Real
Property is liable, (ii) judgment liens against Seller and (iii) any
mortgages or deeds of trust encumbering all or any portion of the Assets,
which Seller must cure ("SELLER'S ENCUMBRANCES"), Seller shall have no
obligation to cause Permitted Exceptions to be cured. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Seller agrees that it shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in
clearing any non-material title issues.
D. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in ARTICLE 11(A)
of this Agreement, if the Title Report discloses judgments, bankruptcies or
other returns against other persons or entities having names the same as or
similar to that of Seller, Seller, on reasonable request, shall deliver to
Purchaser or Title Company affidavits, if truthful, to the effect that such
judgments, bankruptcies or other returns are not against Seller, in form and
substance sufficient to permit removal of same as exceptions in Purchaser's
title policy.
E. Seller and Purchaser shall each pay one-half of (not to exceed
$75,000 on the part of Seller) of the costs of examination of title and any
owner's or mortgagee's policy of title insurance to be issued insuring
Purchaser's title to the Assets, as well as all other title charges, survey
fees, and recording charges incident to the Closing.

Deposit as liquidated damages. Upon such termination, neither party to this
Agreement shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except
subject to Article 16, Escrow Agent shall deliver to Seller and Seller shall
retain the Deposit as liquidated damages. It is expressly understood and

reasonable amount of compensation in such event and in no event shall the
delivery of the Deposit be construed as punitive damages.

ARTICLE 15
CONDEMNATION AND DESTRUCTION.
A. If, prior to the Closing Date, all or any "Significant Portion" (as
hereinafter defined) of all or any of the Real Property is taken, or rendered
unusable for its current purpose or reasonably inaccessible by eminent
domain (or is the subject of a pending or contemplated taking which has not
been consummated), Seller shall notify Purchaser of such fact and Purchaser
shall have the option to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to
Seller delivered not later than five (5) days after receipt of Seller's
notice. For purposes of this Article 15(A) and Article 15(B) hereof, a
"SIGNIFICANT PORTION" shall mean twenty-five percent (25%) or more in the
aggregate of the area of any parcel of the Land, when used in the context of
a taking and $50,000 of damages to one or more Facilities when used in the
context of a casualty. If this Agreement is terminated as aforesaid, neither
party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except that
Escrow Agent shall refund to Purchaser the Deposit. If Purchaser does not
elect to terminate this Agreement, or if the portion of the Real Property
which is taken or rendered unusable or reasonably inaccessible by eminent
domain (or is the subject of a pending or contemplated taking which has not
been consummated) is not a Significant Portion of the Real Property,
Purchaser shall accept so much of the Real Property as remains after such
taking with no abatement of the Purchase Price, and at the Closing, Seller
shall assign and turn over to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall be entitled to
receive and keep, all of Seller's interest in and to all awards for such
taking by eminent domain.
B. If, prior to the Closing Date, a Significant Portion of any or all
of the Real Property is destroyed by fire or other casualty, Seller shall
notify Purchaser of such fact and Purchaser shall have the option to
terminate this Agreement upon ten (10) days notice to Seller given not later
than five (5) days after receipt of Seller's notice. If Purchaser shall elect
to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, this Agreement shall terminate and
neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except
that Escrow Agent shall refund to Purchaser the Deposit (together with all
interest thereon, if any). If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this
Agreement as provided above, or if the portion of the Real Property so
damaged or destroyed is not a Significant Portion of the Real Property,
Purchaser shall accept the Real Property in its then "as is" condition with
no abatement of the Purchase Price, and at the Closing, Seller shall assign
to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall be entitled to receive, all of Seller's
interest in and to all casualty insurance proceeds payable in connection with
such casualty (except that the proceeds of any business interruption or
rental value insurance payable to Seller shall be apportioned as of the
Closing Date), and, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase
Price at the Closing in the amount of any loss deductible in connection with
casualty coverage.
ARTICLE 16
ESCROW.
A. The Deposit shall be held in escrow by Escrow Agent upon the
following terms and conditions:
(i) Escrow Agent shall deposit the Deposit in an
interest-bearing account or invest the Deposit in a money market or monetary
fund;
(ii) Escrow Agent shall deliver to Seller the Deposit (together
with all interest thereon, if any) at and upon the Closing; PROVIDED,
however, that if the Closing occurs separately for one or more of the
Properties from the rest of the Properties, the Deposit will be released only
at the final Closing.
(iii) If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with the terms
hereof, or if the Closing does not take place under this Agreement by reason
of the failure of either party to comply with such party's obligations
hereunder, Escrow Agent shall pay the Deposit to Seller and/or Purchaser, as
the case may be, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
B. It is agreed that:
(i) The duties of Escrow Agent are only as herein specifically
provided, and, except for the provisions of Article 16(C) hereof, are purely
ministerial in nature, and Escrow Agent shall incur no liability whatsoever
except for its own willful misconduct or gross negligence;
(ii) Escrow Agent shall not be liable or responsible for the
collection of the proceeds of any checks used to pay the Deposit;
(iii) In the performance of its duties hereunder, Escrow Agent
shall be entitled to rely upon any document, instrument or signature believed
by it to be genuine and signed by either of the other parties or their
successors;
(iv) Escrow Agent may assume that any person purporting to give
any notice of instructions in accordance with the provisions hereof has been
duly authorized to do so;
(v) Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any modification,
cancellation or rescission of this Agreement unless in writing and signed by
it, Seller and Purchaser;
(vi) Except as otherwise provided in Article 16(C) hereof, Seller
and Purchaser shall jointly and severally reimburse and indemnify Escrow
Agent for, and hold it harmless against, any and all loss, liability, costs
or expenses in connection herewith, including reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements, incurred without willful misconduct or gross negligence on the
part of Escrow Agent arising out of or in connection with its acceptance of,
or the performance of its duties and obligations under, this Agreement, as
well as the reasonable costs and expenses of defending against any claim or
liability arising out of or relating to this Agreement;
(vii) Each of Seller and Purchaser hereby releases and forever
discharges Escrow Agent from any liability arising out of any act done or
omitted to be done by Escrow Agent in good faith in the performance of its
duties hereunder; and
(viii) Escrow Agent may resign for any reason upon ten (10) days
written notice to Seller and Purchaser. If a successor Escrow Agent is not
appointed by Seller and Purchaser within such ten (10) day period, Escrow
Agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to name a successor.
C. Escrow Agent is acting as a stakeholder only with respect to the
Deposit. Escrow Agent, except (i) in the event of the Closing, (ii) in
connection with a Termination Notice by Purchaser in accordance with Article
10 E. or (iii) if the Deposit is required to be delivered to Purchaser
pursuant to Article 20 B., shall not deliver the Deposit except on seven (7)
days' prior written notice to the parties and only if neither party shall
object within such seven (7) day period. If there is any dispute as to
whether Escrow Agent is obligated to deliver all or any portion of the
Deposit or as to whom such Deposit is to be delivered, Escrow Agent shall not
make any delivery, but in such event Escrow Agent may hold the same until
receipt by Escrow Agent of an authorization in writing, signed by all of the
parties having any interest in such dispute, directing the disposition of the
Deposit (together with all interest thereon, if any), or in the absence of
such authorization, Escrow Agent may hold the Deposit (together with all
interest thereon, if any), until the final determination of the rights of the
parties in an appropriate proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing if
Purchaser delivers a Termination Notice in accordance with Article 10 E. or
if Purchaser delivers notice to Escrow Agent that the Deposit is required to
be paid to Purchaser pursuant to Article 20 B. of the Agreement, Seller
authorizes and directs Escrow Agent to immediately deliver the Deposit to
Purchaser without the necessity of any prior notice or consent by Seller. If
such written authorization is not given or proceedings for such determination
are not initiated within thirty (30) days after the date Escrow Agent shall
have received written notice of such dispute, and thereafter diligently
continued, Escrow Agent may, but is not required to, bring an appropriate
action or proceeding for leave to
deposit the Deposit (together with all interest thereon, if any), with a
court of competent jurisdiction pending such determination. Escrow Agent
shall be reimbursed for all costs and expenses of such action or proceeding
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements,
by the party determined not to be entitled to the Deposit, or if the Deposit
is split between the parties hereto, such costs of Escrow Agent shall be
split, PRO RATA, between Seller and Purchaser, in inverse proportion to the
amount of the Deposit received by each. Upon making delivery of the Deposit
(together with all interest thereon, if any), in the manner provided in this
Agreement, Escrow Agent shall have no further obligation or liability
hereunder.
D. Escrow Agent has executed this Agreement solely to confirm that
Escrow Agent has received the Deposit (if the Deposit is made by check,
subject to collection) and will hold the Deposit, in escrow, pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 17

necessary to comply promptly with all Legal Requirements which may be imposed on

parties hereto in connection with this Agreement or the taking of any action
contemplated hereby or thereby. If Purchaser at the Closing Date has not been
issued the necessary licenses from applicable state or local government
entities required to operate the Assets as senior living facilities in the
manner currently operated, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a required license is not obtained on any
of the Properties (the "EXCLUDED ASSETS") as of the Closing Date (as the same
may be extended as provided in Article 5), Purchaser may elect to close on
only those Properties which have received the necessary licenses and
satisfied all other closing requirements and the Purchase Price shall be
reduced in an amount equal to the allocated Purchase Price of the Excluded
Assets. In such event this Agreement shall terminate with respect to the
Excluded Assets only and neither party shall have any additional obligations
under this Agreement with respect to the Excluded Assets other than those
obligations that expressly survive termination.
ARTICLE 18

any latent or patent defects in the Real Property or be bound in any manner
whatsoever by any guarantees, promises, projections, operating expenses,

or trust, as principal of ILM II and Seller or otherwise, and whether
disclosed or undisclosed, to enforce its rights hereunder, and that none of

or agents of ILM II and Seller or any other person, partnership, corporation
or trust, as principals of ILM II and Seller or otherwise, and whether
