4. PROPERTY INFORMATION; TITLE REVIEW; INSPECTIONS AND DUE DILIGENCE.
4.1 PROPERTY INFORMATION. Prior to Closing, Seller shall make available
to Buyer at the Facility, or will deliver to Buyer's representative as directed
by Buyer, if any, to the extent in Seller's possession, and control and readily
available, the following (the "PROPERTY INFORMATION"): the most current title
insurance policy issued to Seller with respect to the Real Property, the most
current surveys prepared for Seller with respect to the Real Property; any prior
environmental (including any Phase I or Phase II reports), engineering,
landscape, utility and other reports or studies made with respect to the Real
Property; any architectural plans and specifications and as built plans for the

to Buyer in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby. Buyer
acknowledges and agrees that all Property Information delivered by Seller to

Buyer as a convenience only and that any reliance on or use of such materials,
data or information by Buyer shall be at the sole risk of Buyer.
4.2 TITLE AND SURVEY REVIEW; TITLE POLICY.

4.2.1 TITLE REPORT. Buyer, at its option and sole cost and expense,
may obtain from a title insurance company acceptable to Buyer and authorized to
provide title insurance in the State of North Carolina (the "TITLE Company") a
preliminary report or title commitment for an owner's policy of title insurance
covering the Real Property (the "TITLE REPORT"), together with copies of all
documents (collectively, the "TITLE DOCUMENTS") referenced in the Title Report.
Buyer, at its option and sole cost and expense, may (a) obtain a new survey for
the Real Property or (b) cause an existing survey of the Real Property to be
updated or recertified (the "SURVEY"). Buyer understands and acknowledges that
if Buyer elects to obtain a Title Report and/or a Survey, the completion and/or
delivery of the Title Report and the Survey shall not be a condition precedent
to the Closing.
4.2.2 TITLE REVIEW AND CURE. If Buyer elects to obtain a Title
Report or Survey, Buyer shall have the right to give Seller written notice of
any objections with respect to any defects in the condition of title or other
matters adversely affecting the Real Property shown on or by the Title Report

("BUYER'S TITLE NOTICE") of any Defects promptly following Buyer's receipt and
review of the Title Report and/or Survey but in all events not later than five
(5) days prior to Closing (the "TITLE REVIEW PERIOD"). Buyer shall provide
Seller with a copy of the Title Report, any Title Documents and the Survey
obtained by Buyer with Buyer's Title Notice. The failure of Buyer to deliver to
Seller Buyer's Title Notice on or before the expiration of the Title Review
Period shall be deemed to constitute Buyer's approval of the condition of title
and survey to the Real Property. If Buyer so gives Seller notice of any Defects,
then Seller may, but shall have no obligation to, eliminate the Defects to
Buyer's reasonable satisfaction on or before Closing by giving Buyer written
notice ("SELLER'S TITLE NOTICE") of those Defects, if any, which Seller agrees
to so eliminate by the Closing Date. If Seller does not elect to, or is unable
to, eliminate any Defects, or Buyer disapproves Seller's Title Notice, then
Buyer shall have the right, upon delivery to Seller, on or before Closing, of a
written notice to either: (a) waive its prior disapproval and notice of Defects,
and proceed with Closing, in which event the Defects shall be deemed approved;
or (b) terminate this Agreement. If Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement as
provided in clause (b) above, this Agreement shall automatically terminate, the
parties shall be released from all further obligations under this Agreement
(except pursuant to any provisions which by their terms survive a termination of
this Agreement), the Deposit shall be immediately returned to Buyer and Buyer
shall immediately return all Property Information to Seller. Buyer shall be
deemed to have approved any title exception shown on or by the Title Report
and/or the Survey to which either Buyer did not object as provided above, or to
which Buyer did object, but with respect to which Buyer did not terminate this
Agreement as provided above, and the same shall be deemed a Permitted Exception
(as hereinafter defined).
4.2.3 DELIVERY OF TITLE POLICY AT CLOSING. If Buyer elects to
obtain a Title Report and this Agreement is not terminated before Closing as
elsewhere provided herein, then Buyer shall have the right, at its option and
sole cost and expense, to cause the Title Company to issue and deliver to Buyer
at the Closing, with respect to the Real Property, a ALTA Owner's Policy of
Title Insurance in current ALTA Form (the "TITLE POLICY"), or a pro forma policy
or marked commitment for the same, dated as of the date and time of the
recording of the Deed (as such term is defined in Section 6.1 hereof) for the
Real Property, in the amount of the Purchase Price, insuring Buyer as owner of
good and marketable title to the Real Property, subject to the Permitted

removal of an underground storage tank formerly located on the Real Property has
been accomplished in accordance with applicable law and that no further remedial
work needs to be performed in connection with such removal. Seller will endeavor

so, then Seller shall have the right and obligation, from and after the Closing,

Seller agrees to complete at its cost and expense. Seller agrees to indemnify
and hold Buyer harmless from any claims or damages caused by, arising out of, or

with applicable law, under this Section 15.1.

This Addendum to Purchase and Sale Agreement ("Addendum") is attached
to and made a part of that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of
November 14, 2003 by and between the above-referenced Buyer and Seller (the
"Agreement") for the above-described real property (the "Property"). Capitalized
terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning given
to them in the Agreement.
In consideration of the Agreement, the covenants and agreements
contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as
follows:
1. CLOSING DATE. The parties agree that the Closing Date for the
purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets shall be extended to and shall occur
on or before October 22, 2004. Paragraph 3.1 of the Agreement is hereby amended
by deleting the date of "November 20, 2003" from the first sentence thereof and
replacing it with the date of "October 22, 2004".
2. MAINTENANCE OF DALS LICENSE FOLLOWING CLOSING; SURRENDER OF LICENSE.
In the event that Buyer closes its purchase of the Property in accordance with
the Agreement, then Seller shall continue to keep the DALS License in place, and
will not surrender the same, until the first to occur of (i) the issuance by
DHHS to Buyer of an Adult Care Home License for the facility ("Buyer's License")
authorizing Buyer, or its designated operating entity, to operate the facility
as a fully licensed Adult Care Home, or (ii) December 31, 2004 (the "End Date");
subject however to the following conditions:
a. Promptly following Closing, Buyer shall commence and shall
thereafter prosecute with due diligence such renovation, refurbishment,
improvement or other work (the "Renovation Work") to the Facility
necessary for it to satisfy all state and local requirements to permit
the Facility to be operated as an Adult Care Home and to obtain Buyer's
License. All cost and expense associated with such Renovation Work
shall be the sole responsibility of Buyer. Seller shall have no
obligation to perform or pay for any of the Renovation Work.
b. Until the DALS License is surrendered, Buyer will name
Seller as an additional insured on Buyer's general liability and
workers compensation insurance covering the Facility. At Closing, Buyer
will provide Seller with a certificate of insurance evidencing such
coverage.
c. Buyer shall not admit or accept any residents or otherwise
use or operate the facility as an Adult Care Home or other facility for
the occupancy or treatment of persons at
any time prior to the effective date of Buyer's License. Buyer shall
promptly notify, or cause DHHS to notify, Seller when Buyer's License
has been issued to Buyer by DHHS and provide Seller with a copy of
Buyer's license reflecting the effective date thereof.
d. There shall be no change on the part of DHHS from the
understandings reached with the DHHS regarding the renewal of the DALS
License, the Renovation Work to be performed by Buyer and the surrender
of the License by Seller as set forth in the letters between Seller and
DHHS dated December 15, 2003 and July 22, 2004, copies of each of which
are attached hereto as Exhibit A.
e. In the event of a breach or failure of any one of the
foregoing conditions, then Seller shall have the immediate right,
without the necessity of any notice or demand to Buyer, to surrender
the DALS License to DHHS and Seller shall be released from any further
obligation hereunder to keep the DALS License in place.
f. In the event that for any reason whatsoever Buyer's License
has not been issued by DHHS to Buyer in final form without any
conditions by the End Date, then, unless the End Date and Seller's
obligation to maintain the DALS License have been extended by mutual
agreement of Buyer and Seller, as evidenced by a written instrument
signed by each of them, and such extension has been approved by DHHS,
on or before the End Date, Seller shall have the right immediately
following the End Date, without the necessity of any notice or demand
to Buyer, to surrender the DALS License to DHHS and Seller shall be
released from any further obligation hereunder to keep the DALS License
in place.
g. In the event that Buyer's License is issued to Buyer by
DHHS prior to the End Date, then Seller's obligation to maintain the
DALS License in effect shall cease and terminate effective as of the
effective date of Buyer's License and Seller shall have the right,
without the necessity of any notice or demand to Buyer, to immediately
surrender the DALS License to DHHS.
3. OPERATION. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding the
fact that Seller shall be shown as the licensed operator of the Facility
following Closing until the surrender of the DALS License, Seller shall have no
responsibility whatsoever for any operation, repair, maintenance, insurance,
upkeep, or improvement of, to or otherwise in respect of the Facility. Seller's
agreement to keep the DALS License in place is solely for the purpose of
assisting Buyer in obtaining Buyer's License and not for any other purpose. From
and after the Closing, Buyer, as the owner of the Property, including the
Facility, shall have all responsibilities, obligations and liabilities with
respect to the Property and the Facility.
4. INDEMNITY. Buyer shall and does hereby agree to hold harmless and
indemnify Seller from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities,
damages, costs, fees or expenses whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys'
fees) suffered or incurred by, or asserted against, Seller and arising out of,
resulting from, relating to or in any way connected with, directly or
indirectly, (i) Seller maintaining and keeping the DALS license in effect
following the Closing or (ii) Buyer's breach or failure to observe, keep or
perform any of the terms, conditions, provisions, or obligations of this
Addendum.
5. BINDING EFFECT. This Addendum shall be binding upon and shall inure
to the benefit of Buyer, Seller and their respective heirs, legal
representatives, successors and assigns. The terms, provisions, agreements and
obligations contained and set forth in this Addendum shall survive the Closing.

bind the party so signing, it being expressly agreed that each party to this
