PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
OVERVIEW AND BACKGROUND
Emeritus Assisted Living - Emeritus Corporation ("Emeritus" or the "Company") is
a nationally integrated assisted living organization focused on operating
residential style communities. Emeritus is one of the largest and most
experienced providers of assisted living communities. Assisted living
communities provide a residential housing alternative for senior citizens who
need help with the activities of daily living, with an emphasis on assisted
living and personal care services.
The Company was founded in July 1993 to become a nationwide operator of assisted
living communities. During the 16 years prior to 1987, Daniel R. Baty, the
Company's Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, served as the chief
executive officer of The Hillhaven Corporation ("Hillhaven"), one of the largest
operators of skilled nursing facilities in the United States. Mr. Baty left
Hillhaven to pursue opportunities in the independent living market. In 1987, he
became the chairman of the board and a principal shareholder of Holiday
Retirement Corp. ("Holiday"), one of the largest operators of independent living
communities in the United States, and served as its chief executive officer from
1991 through September 1997.
As of March 23, 1999 the Company held ownership, leasehold or management
interests in 117 assisted living communities (the "Operating Communities")
consisting of approximately 10,400 units with a capacity for 12,000 residents,
located in 29 states. As of March 23, 1999, the Company leased 53 of its
assisted living communities, owned 15 communities, managed or provided
administrative services for 41 communities and had a partnership interest or
joint venture in eight communities. Additionally, the Company holds a 31.3%
minority interest in Alert Care Corporation ("Alert"), an Ontario, Canada based
owner and operator of 21 assisted living communities consisting of approximately
1,200 units with a capacity for approximately 1,300 residents. See "Strategic
Relationships --Alert Relationship".
Of the 117 current Operating Communities, the Company has developed 48 and
acquired 69 since its inception in 1993. Of the newly developed communities,
20 and 11 (six of which are managed) were opened during 1997 and 1998,
respectively. As of March 23, 1999 the Company completed development on four
additional communities and owned, had a leasehold interest in, management
interest in or had acquired an option to purchase development sites for 17
new assisted living communities (the "Development Communities"). Of the
Development Communities, 13 and four are scheduled to open during the
remainder of 1999 and in 2000, respectively. The Development Communities
contain capacity for 1,800 additional residents. After completion of the 1999
Development Communities and including Alert, the Company will have an
interest in 151 communities with a total capacity for over 14,500 residents.
Effective December 31, 1998, the Company completed a transaction whereby a
related entity acquired 22 assisted living communities previously leased by
the Company from Meditrust and three communities previously owned by the
Company for a combined purchase price of approximately $168 million (the
"Emeritrust transaction"). The Company is continuing to operate all 25
communities pursuant to a three year management agreement and will receive
management fees equal to 5% of revenues, as well as an additional 2% of
revenues contingent on such communities achieving positive cash flows. In
addition, the Company has an option and a right of first refusal to purchase
the 22 previously leased communities and the three previously owned
communities, respectively, during the three year period at a purchase price
equal to the original cost to the entity plus an amount calculated to provide
the entity with a specified rate of return on its invested capital. The
combined transaction will accomplish several strategic objectives for the
Company including: (i) expected management fee income of $2.5 million in 1999
versus 1998 losses from operations from these communities of $11.0 million
and (ii) an immediate improvement of approximately $800,000 in monthly cash
flow from operations. Daniel R. Baty, the Company's Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer, and William E. Colson, a director, have financial
interests in the entity that is a party to this arrangement.
<PAGE>
THE ASSISTED LIVING INDUSTRY
The Company believes the assisted living industry is steadily becoming a
preferred alternative for meeting the growing needs of senior citizens who do
not require the intensive medical attention provided by a skilled nursing
facility, but cannot live independently due to physical and/or cognitive
frailties. The assisted living industry is one of the fastest growing niche
markets in the United States, projected to grow 150 percent by the year 2005,
according to the U.S. Small Business Administration. The Company believes an
assisted living environment is:
- a residential setting that provides or coordinates personal
services, 24-hour supervision and personalized assistance
(scheduled and unscheduled), health-related services and
activities in a professionally managed group environment;
- designed to accommodate individual residents' changing needs
and preferences;
- intended to maximize resident's dignity, quality of life,
autonomy, privacy, independence, choice and safety;
- designed to minimize the need to move by providing a
comprehensive range of assisted living services, including
Alzheimer's care and other services allowing residents to "age
in place" within the facility as they develop further physical
and cognitive frailties; and
- designed to encourage family and community involvement.
The Company believes that assisted living has become the preferred approach to
long-term care for seniors due to: (i) increased emphasis by both federal and
state governments to contain long-term care costs; (ii) limitations imposed in
many states on construction of additional skilled nursing facilities; and (iii)
the relative affluence of the elderly segment of the population and the
decreasing availability of family care. The Company believes that its
communities are attractive to those seniors who do not require 24-hour skilled
nursing care but do desire supervision and assistance with the activities of
daily living. Also, the limited availability of governmental payment programs
has created a strong and growing market demand for non-institutional long-term
care services designed to fill the gap between independent living facilities and
skilled nursing facilities.
OPERATING PHILOSOPHY
The Company's operating philosophy is to provide a wide variety of assisted
living services in a professionally managed environment while allowing its
residents to maintain their dignity and independence. In addition, the Company
continuously seeks to refine and improve the care and services it offers.
Residents of the Company's communities are typically unable to live alone, but
do not require the intensive care provided in skilled nursing facilities. Under
the Company's operating approach, seniors reside in a private or semi-private
residential unit for a monthly fee based on each resident's individual service
needs. The Company believes its focus on residential assisted living communities
allows seniors to maintain a more independent lifestyle than is possible in the
institutionalized environment of skilled nursing facilities. In addition, the
Company believes its services, such as assisting residents with their activities
of daily living (including medication management, bathing, dressing, personal
hygiene, and grooming) are attractive to seniors who are inadequately served by
independent living facilities.
RESIDENT SERVICES
The Company's assisted living communities offer residents a full range of
services based upon individual resident needs in a supportive "home-like"
environment. By offering a full range of services, including FlexAssist programs
and Alzheimer's Care, the Company can accommodate residents with a broad range
of service needs and therefore enable residents to "age in place". Services
provided by the Company to its residents are designed to respond to their
individual needs and to improve their quality of life.
BASIC CARE
The Company's basic care program is provided to all residents and includes:
three meals per day served in a common dining room; social and recreational
activities; weekly housekeeping and linen service; building maintenance and
grounds keeping; 24-hour emergency response and security; licensed nurses on
staff to monitor and coordinate care needs; and transportation to appointments,
etc.
FLEXASSIST
<PAGE>
The Company's FlexAssist programs allow residents who require more frequent or
intensive assistance or increased care or supervision to receive additional
services. The FlexAssist program allows the Company, through consultation with
the resident, the resident's physician and the resident's family, to create an
individualized care program for residents who might otherwise be forced to move
to a more medically-intensive facility. An individual resident's level of care
is determined by the degree of assistance he/she requires in each of several
categories. The categories of care include, but are not limited to: medication
management and supervision; reminders for dining and recreational activities;
assistance with bathing, dressing and grooming; incontinence; behavior
management; dietary assistance; and miscellaneous (which consists of diabetic
management, PRN medication, transfer, simple treatment, oxygen set
up/maintenance and prosthesis). The Company charges an additional fee for these
services based on the level of care provided.
ALZHEIMER'S CARE
Alzheimer's is a debilitating disease and persons afflicted with it require
special care. The Company believes its Alzheimer's Care program distinguishes it
from other assisted living providers who do not provide such specialized care.
SERVICE REVENUE SOURCES
The Company currently and for the foreseeable future expects to rely primarily
on its residents' ability to pay the Company's charges from their own or
familial resources. Although care in an assisted living community is typically
less expensive than in a skilled nursing facility, the Company believes
generally only seniors with income or assets meeting or exceeding the regional
median can afford to reside in the Company's communities. Inflation or other
circumstances that adversely affect seniors' ability to pay for services such as
those provided by the Company could have an adverse effect on the Company's
business or operations. For example, if the Company were unable to attract
residents able to pay for its services, it would have to modify its business
strategy of relying primarily on the private-pay market and be forced to rely
more on the limited number of governmental reimbursement programs. Furthermore,
the federal government provides limited reimbursement for the type of assisted
living services provided by the Company.
The Company currently serves a limited number of residents who receive aid from
various states' (Washington, Florida, Texas and Massachusetts) financial
assistance programs, some of which are an extension of federal recipient
assistance programs, as well as from alternate sources, such as private
insurance. Qualifications are generally similar to those of Medicaid, and the
Company is subject to various regulatory and governmental reimbursement
policies. Net revenues from state reimbursement programs for the years 1997 and
1998 accounted for less than 10% of the Company's operating revenues for such
years. Payments to the Company under state reimbursement programs in which the
Company participates are currently sufficient to cover virtually all the
operating (but not financing) costs allocable to the Company's participating
residents. As third party reimbursement programs and other alternative forms of
payment continue to grow, the Company will pursue reimbursement from the third
party, if appropriate, given the level of care provided to its residents.
However, there can be no assurance that the Company will continue to improve its
private-pay mix or that it will not in the future become more dependent on
governmental or other reimbursement programs.
COMPANY OPERATIONS
OPERATING STRATEGY
The Company believes there is a significant demand for alternative long-term
care services that are well-positioned between the limited services offered by
independent living facilities and the more medical and institutional care
offered by skilled nursing facilities. The Company seeks to provide high-quality
services in its assisted living communities while increasing operating margins
primarily by: (i) increasing its focus on occupancy levels throughout the
Company's portfolio; (ii) maintaining residents longer by providing programs
that offer residents a full range of service options, enabling residents to "age
in place" as their needs change; (iii) increasing revenues through modifications
in rate structures; and (iv) identifying opportunities to create operating
efficiencies and reduce costs. The Company believes its emphasis on quality and
continuity of service will enable it to increase its communities' occupancy
levels, thereby enhancing revenues. The Company also believes that the physical
configuration of its facilities, combined with its diversified levels of
service, contributes to resident satisfaction and allows seniors residing at the
Company's communities to maintain their dignity and independence.
During 1998 the Company: (i) increased its focus on community operations; (ii)
slowed its development and acquisition activities in order to shift its focus
from growth to operations; and (iii) disposed of select communities previously
<PAGE>
operated at a loss. The Company's increased focus on community operations is
primarily the result of continued losses throughout the Company's portfolio
and initially lower levels of occupancy than expected at the Company's
communities. Since the focus shift to operations, the Company has generated
substantial occupancy gains in its communities. Occupancy at December 31,
1998 was 81% compared to 72% at December 31, 1997. In addition, average
occupancy for 1998 was 77% compared to 73% for 1997.
The Company's slowed development and acquisition activities in 1998 decreased
the Company's financial obligations thereby releasing its resources for other
purposes. These additional resources enabled the Company to refine and improve
community operations. The Company opened five newly developed communities in
1998 compared to 20 in 1997 and 11 in 1996. In addition, the Company acquired
only two communities in 1998, compared to seven in 1997 and 35 in 1996.
In an effort to reduce the impact of start-up losses from acquired and newly
developed communities on its current portfolio, the Company began a major
restructuring of its portfolio during 1998. This restructuring included an
evaluation by the Company of the financial performance of its communities. For
those communities with significant losses, the Company negotiated their sale of
with buyers focused on the real estate component while the Company retained its
focus on the operations through management agreements.
To that end, in 1998 the Company disposed of interests in three assisted
living communities to related parties, but has retained management agreements
with respect to each community. These dispositions will generate expected
management fees of $450,000 in 1999 versus 1998 net losses of $5.0 million.
The Company retains a 20% interest in one community and holds notes that are
convertible into a 20% interest in one other community.
In addition, effective December 31, 1998, the Company completed a transaction
whereby a related entity acquired 22 assisted living communities previously
leased by the Company from Meditrust and three communities previously owned
by the Company for a combined purchase price of approximately $168 million
(the "Emeritrust transaction"). The Company is continuing to operate all 25
communities pursuant to a three year management agreement and will receive
management fees equal to 5% of revenues, as well as an additional 2% of
revenues contingent on such communities achieving positive cash flows. In
addition, the Company has an option and a right of first refusal to purchase
the 22 previously leased communities and the three previously owned
communities, respectively, during the three year period at a purchase price
equal to the original cost to the entity plus an amount calculated to provide
the entity with a specified rate of return on its invested capital. The
combined transaction will accomplish several strategic objectives for the
Company including: (i) expected management fee income of $2.5 million in 1999
versus 1998 losses from operations from these communities of $11.0 million
and (ii) an immediate improvement of approximately $800,000 in monthly cash
flow from operations. Daniel R. Baty, the Company's Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer, and William E. Colson, a director, have financial
interests in the entity that is a party to this arrangement.
In March 1999, the Company also completed the disposition of its leasehold
interest in an additional 19 communities, consisting of 14 currently
operational communities and five development communities (the "Emeritrust II
communities") to a related entity in a similar transaction. The Company will
continue to operate the Emeritrust II communities pursuant to a three year
management contract and will receive management fees equal to 5% of revenues,
as well as an additional 2% of revenues contingent on such communities
achieving positive cash flows. In addition, the Company has an option to
purchase the 19 communities during the three year period at a purchase price
equal to the original cost to the entity plus an amount calculated to provide
the entity with a specified rate of return on its invested capital.
Management fee income of $1.8 million is expected to be generated from the 19
Emeritrust II communities in 1999 compared to 1998 net losses from these
communities of approximately $300,000.
ACQUISITIONS
The Company has previously acquired, and will consider acquiring, if attractive
opportunities are made available, existing assisted living communities. In
evaluating possible acquisitions, the Company considers, among other factors:
(i) location, construction quality, condition and design of the facility, (ii)
the ability to generate revenue and cash flow and increase occupancy; (iii)
costs of repositioning the community; and (iv) the extent to which the
acquisition will complement the Company's existing portfolio of communities.
In certain circumstances the Company has acquired, and may continue to acquire,
independent living and skilled nursing facilities that, for various reasons, it
does not reposition as assisted living communities. The Company leases one
Medicare Certified skilled nursing facility (Heritage Health) pursuant to a
multi-facility acquisition completed in February 1996. Due to the nature of
sub-acute care services required in this skilled nursing facility, the Company
has engaged third party managers who have the expertise and systems to operate
a facility in this line of business. These acquisitions will, however,
generally be incidental to the Company's overall focus on assisted living
communities, and the Company will typically seek over time to divest itself of
the ownership or operation of properties that are inconsistent with its
assisted living focus. There can be no assurance however, that the Company
will successfully operate such independent living or skilled nursing
facilities in the interim, that it will be able to locate qualified purchasers
or operators of such facilities or that the terms on which it transfers
ownership or operation of such facilities will be advantageous to the Company.
<PAGE>
DEVELOPMENT
In 1998, the Company slowed its development activities in order to increase its
focus on operations. In 1998 and 1997, the Company began operating five and 20
newly developed communities in which it has leasehold or ownership interests,
respectively. The Company currently anticipates opening five additional
developments in 1999, all of which will be disposed as part of the Emeritrust
II transaction . See "Factors Affecting Future Results and Regarding
Forward-Looking Statements --Ability to Develop Additional Assisted living
Communities" and "--Need for Additional Capital" for a description of factors
that could affect the Company's rate of development.
MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS
The Company has entered into agreements whereby it manages or provides
administrative services for assisted living communities and independent living
communities owned or leased by others. The Company currently provides management
services for a total of 42 communities, representing 1999 annualized income of
approximately $2.8 million. Eight of these communities are owned by Columbia
House I, Limited Partnership ("Columbia House"), which is partially owned
indirectly by the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. See "Strategic
Relationships --Columbia House Relationship."
In conjunction with the closing of the Emeritrust transaction, the Company
also operates 25 communities pursuant to a three year management agreement
and will receive management fees equal to 5% of revenues, as well as an
additional 2% of revenue contingent on such communities achieving positive
cash flows. See "--Operating Strategy."
ADMINISTRATION
The Company employs an integrated structure of management, financial systems and
controls to maximize operating efficiency and contain costs. In addition, the
Company has developed the internal procedures, policies and standards it
believes are necessary for effective operation and management of its assisted
living communities. The Company has recruited experienced key employees from
several established operators in the long-term-care services field and believes
it has assembled the administrative, operational and financial personnel that
will enable it to continue to manage its operating strategies effectively.
The Company has established Central, Eastern and Western Operational Divisions.
Each division is headed by a divisional director who reports to the Company's
Vice President of Operations. Each division is comprised of several operating
regions headed by a regional director who provides management support services
for each of the communities in his/her respective region. Day to day community
operations are supervised by an on-site community director who, in certain
jurisdictions, must satisfy certain licensing requirements. The Company provides
management support services to each of its residential communities, including
establishing operating standards, recruiting, training, and financial and
accounting services.
The Company has centralized finance and other operational functions at its
headquarters in Seattle, Washington in order to allow community-based personnel
to focus on resident care. The Seattle office as a whole is responsible for:
establishing Company-wide policies and procedures; financial and marketing
functions; management of the Company's acquisition and development activities;
and providing overall strategic direction to the Company.
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
The Company utilizes a blend of centralized and decentralized accounting and
computer systems that link each community with the Company's headquarters. These
systems enables the Company to closely monitor operating costs and quickly
distribute financial and operating information to appropriate levels of
management in a cost efficient manner. Management believes that its current data
systems are adequate for current operations and provide the flexibility to meet
the continued growth of its operations without disruption or significant
modification to existing systems through fiscal year 1999. The Company uses high
quality hardware and operating systems from current and proven technologies to
support its current technology infrastructure. See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Year 2000".
<PAGE>
INTERNATIONAL EXPANSION
Demographic trends in Japan suggest a tremendous future need for assisted living
services as part of the health care system. The percentage of Japanese citizens
over the age of 65 is expected to increase from 7.1% in 1970 to 23.3% by 2010.
In April 1998 the Company entered into a joint venture, Sanyo Emeritus
Corporation, with Sanyo Electric Company, Ltd. ("Sanyo") of Osaka, Japan to
provide assisted living services in Japan. The Company's first assisted living
community in Japan is under construction and is anticipated to open in December
1999. The community will be among the first assisted living communities in Japan
to offer private apartments on a month-to-month rental. See "Strategic
Relationships--Sanyo Relationship".
BRANDING
In 1998, the Company developed a brand concept for the Company's communities.
The Company adopted the "Loyalton" name for its newly developed communities as
well as selected existing communities. The Company believes that this branding
will allow its residents, shareholders and employees to develop some brand
loyalty and recognition of the Emeritus and Loyalton name throughout the
Company's markets.
MARKETING AND REFERRAL RELATIONSHIPS
The Company's operating strategy is designed to integrate its assisted living
communities into the continuum of healthcare providers in the geographic markets
in which it operates. One objective of this strategy is to enable residents who
require additional healthcare services to benefit from the Company's
relationships with local hospitals, home healthcare agencies and skilled nursing
facilities in order to obtain the most appropriate level of care. Thus, the
Company seeks to establish relationships with local hospitals (including through
joint marketing efforts, where appropriate) and home healthcare agencies,
alliances with visiting nurses associations and, on a more limited basis,
priority transfer agreements with local, high-quality skilled nursing
facilities. In addition to benefiting residents, the implementation of this
operating strategy has strengthened and expanded the company's network of
referral sources.
Of the Company's 117 Operating Communities and 17 Development Communities, 29
are located in markets or proposed markets in which Holiday also operates its
independent living facilities. The Company believes that its assisted living
communities will offer an attractive alternative for Holiday residents as they
age and require more extensive services. The Company and Holiday do not have any
formal understanding or written agreement regarding joint marketing programs. As
a result, there can be no assurance that joint marketing programs envisioned
with Holiday will be effected. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that, if
effected, such joint marketing programs will be successful in attracting
additional residents to the Company's assisted living communities or that the
Company's and Holiday's interest will be compatible in the future. See
"Strategic Relationships --Holiday Relationship".
STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIPS
ALERT RELATIONSHIP
In November 1996, the Company agreed to purchase up to 6,888,466 shares of
convertible preferred stock of Alert Care Corporation ("Alert"), an Ontario,
Canada based owner and operator of assisted living communities at prices
ranging from $0.67 to $0.74 per share (Cdn). In addition, the Company
acquired an option to purchase an additional 4,000,000 shares of convertible
preferred stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share (Cdn), as well as an
option to purchase from Eclipse Capital Management ("Eclipse"), the majority
shareholder of Alert, and certain other shareholders of Alert, 9,050,000
issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Alert and 950,000 issued and
outstanding shares of Class A non-voting stock of Alert both at an exercise
price of $3.25 per share (Cdn). If all options were exercised, the Company
would own 60.0% of Alert.
Each Preferred Share is convertible into one common share or one Class A
nonvoting share, at the holder's election; the Preferred Shares are immediately
convertible into Class A nonvoting shares but are not immediately convertible
into common shares and are so convertible only after the controlling persons of
Alert have transferred to others (which could include the Company) not less than
10 million shares of common or Class A nonvoting shares (as of March 23, 1999
there are approximately 23.9 million such shares outstanding) and such
controlling persons are relieved of certain guarantees of indebtedness.
<PAGE>
As of December 31, 1996, the Company had purchased and held 2,577,692 shares of
preferred stock for a total investment of $1,800,000 (Cdn) or $1,331,000 (US).
In 1997, the Company purchased an additional 5,010,774 shares of preferred stock
increasing its ownership to 7,588,466 shares or $4,111,000 (US). As of December
31, 1997, the Company's total investment in Alert represented on an as-converted
basis approximately 24.2% of the outstanding common and Class A nonvoting shares
combined. In 1998, the Company purchased an additional 3,300,000 shares of
preferred stock resulting in an ownership interest of 31.3% or 10,888,466
shares.
Alert has entered into an exclusive management agreement to manage the Company's
future assisted living communities in Ontario. Eclipse, through its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Eclipse Construction Inc., develops and constructs retirement homes
for Alert on a contract basis. Under the agreement, Eclipse has entered into an
exclusive development agreement with the Company and Alert to develop their
future construction projects in Ontario. No communities have been developed
under these agreements as of March 23, 1999.
COLUMBIA HOUSE RELATIONSHIP
Columbia House I, Limited Partnership ("Columbia House"), a Washington limited
partnership in which Mr. Baty, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer indirectly controls the general partner and in which Mr. Baty holds an
indirect 60% interest, develops, owns and leases low income senior housing
projects. The Company has entered into agreements with Columbia House to
provide certain administrative support, due diligence and financial support
services to Columbia House with respect to the acquisition, development and
administration of Columbia House communities. The Company currently manages
eight communities owned by Columbia House consisting of approximately 720
units and provides administrative services for another community consisting of
approximately 100 units.
HOLIDAY RELATIONSHIP
Twenty-nine of the Company's Operating Communities are located near existing or
proposed independent living facilities operated by Holiday. The Company believes
that its focus on expanding in locations near Holiday facilities will often
enable it to gauge the need for its services in a particular market by
evaluating Holiday's operating performance, and that successful Holiday
facilities will generally reflect the combination of criteria required for a
successful assisted living community. In addition, the Company believes that, as
a result of Mr. Baty's close relationship with Holiday, opportunities may arise
for (i) development of assisted living communities on sites near existing or
proposed Holiday independent living facilities and (ii) joint marketing programs
for attracting residents to the Company's assisted living communities and
Holiday's independent living facilities, depending on the level of services
required. The Company and Holiday have no written agreement or formal
understanding concerning their relationship, and there can be no assurance that
opportunities for such development or joint marketing programs will arise and
that the Company's and Holiday's interests will be compatible in the future. In
February 1998, the Company and a Holiday affiliate entered into four management
agreements whereby a Holiday affiliate will provide management services relating
to four assisted living communities located in Texas and developed by the
Company. The Company sold interests in three of these communities in
conjunction with the Emeritrust transaction, but Holiday will continue to manage
all four properties in accordance with the original management agreements. The
agreements consist of initial terms of two years six months and management fees
based on 6% of gross revenues payable monthly. Mr. Baty and Mr. Colson, a
director of the Company are the principal shareholders, directors and senior
executive officers of Holiday, and substantially all the independent living
facilities operated by Holiday are owned by partnerships controlled by Messrs.
Baty and Colson and in which they have varying financial interests.
NORTHSTAR RELATIONSHIP
In October 1997, NorthStar Capital Partners LLC ("NorthStar"), a private
investment group with financial backing from a Union Bank of Switzerland
Securities affiliate and Quantum Realty Partners, a fund advised by Soros Fund
Management LLC, invested $25.0 million in the Company through the purchase of
25,000 shares of Series A Convertible Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock
(the "Series A Preferred Stock"), representing approximately 10% ownership in
the Company. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into that
number of shares of the Company's Common Stock equal to the liquidation value of
a share of Series A Preferred Stock ($1,000) divided by the conversion price of
$18.20 per share. Currently the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into an
aggregate of 1,373,626 shares of Common Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock is
also exchangeable into convertible debt at the option of the Company. The
conversion price is subject to adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock
subdivisions and combinations, and extraordinary distributions. The Series A
Preferred Stock provides for cumulative quarterly
<PAGE>
dividend payments of 9% and has a mandatory redemption date of October 24, 2004.
PAINTED POST PARTNERS RELATIONSHIP
During 1995, the Company's two most senior executive officers, CEO and then
current President, formed a New York general partnership (the "Partnership") to
facilitate the operation of assisted living communities in the state of New
York, which generally requires that natural persons be designated as the
licensed operators of assisted living communities. The Company and the
Partnership have entered into Administrative Services Agreements that extend for
the term of the underlying leases. The fees payable to the Company under the
Administrative Services Agreements have been established at a level that would
equal or exceed the profit of the community operated efficiently at full
occupancy and, unless reset by agreement of the parties, will rise automatically
on an annual basis in accordance with changes in the Consumer Price Index. In
addition, the Company has agreed to indemnify the partners against losses, and
in exchange, the partners have agreed to assign any profits to the Company. As a
part of the general non-competition agreements of the CEO and former President,
each has agreed that in the event he were to cease as a senior executive of the
Company, he would transfer his interest in the Partnership for a nominal charge
to his successor at the Company or other person designated by the Company.
SANYO RELATIONSHIP
In April 1998, the Company entered into a joint venture with Sanyo to provide
assisted living services in Japan. The joint venture, Sanyo Emeritus
Corporation ("Sanyo Emeritus"), has been formed to provide a residential
based health care alternative for Japan's growing elderly population. Sanyo
Emeritus was initially capitalized with Y50 million ($384,000 US), with the
Company and Sanyo each providing half the funds. The joint venture's first
assisted living community in Japan is under construction and is anticipated
to open in late 1999. Similar to the United States, the elderly population in
Japan is experiencing dramatic growth. The percentage of Japan's citizens
over 65 years of age is expected to increase from 7.1% in 1970 to 23.3% by
2010. In 1999, the Japanese Government is changing the current reimbursement
system and the Company expects that assisted living services will be an
integral part of this new system thereby offering Japan's elderly greater
flexibility in choosing their health care.
COMPETITION
The number of assisted living communities in the United States, the ownership of
which is fragmented, is increasing rapidly. As the assisted living industry
continues to grow, fewer attractive development sights may be available. This
market saturation could have an adverse effect on the Company's newly developed
communities and their ability to reach stabilized occupancy levels. Moreover,
the senior housing services industry has been subject to pressures that have
resulted in the consolidation of many small local operations into larger
regional and national multi-facility operations. While there are several
national and regional companies that provide senior living alternatives, the
Company anticipates that its primary source of competition will originate from
local and regional assisted living companies that operate, manage and develop
residences within the same geographic area as the Company, as well as retirement
facilities and communities, home healthcare agencies, not-for-profit or
charitable operators and, to a lesser extent, skilled nursing facilities and
convalescent centers. The Company believes that quality of service, reputation,
a facility's location, physical appearance and price will be significant
competitive factors. Some of the Company's competitors have significantly
greater resources, experience and recognition within the healthcare community
than does the Company.
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 1998, the Company had 5,108 employees, including 3,627 full
time employees, of which 92 were employed at the Company's headquarters. None of
the Company's employees are currently represented by a labor union, and the
Company is not aware of any union-organizing activity among its employees. The
Company believes that its relationship with its employees is good.
Although the Company believes it is able to employ sufficiently skilled
personnel to staff the communities it operates or manages, a shortage of skilled
personnel in any of the geographic areas in which it operates could adversely
affect the Company's ability to recruit and retain qualified employees and
control its operating expenses.
TRADEMARKS
<PAGE>
The Registration of the Company's FlexAssist service mark was granted in
February 1997.
FACTORS AFFECTING FUTURE RESULTS AND REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The Company's business, results of operations and financial condition are
subject to many risks, including, but not limited to, those set forth below. In
addition, the following important factors, among others, could cause the
Company's actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the
Company's forward-looking statements in this report and presented elsewhere by
management from time to time. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance
on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this
report. A number of the matters and subject areas discussed in this report are
not historical or current facts and refer to potential future circumstances,
operations, and prospects. The discussion of such matters and subject areas is
qualified by the inherent risks and uncertainties surrounding future
expectations generally, and also may materially differ from the Company's actual
future experience involving any one or more of such matters and subject areas
relating to demand, pricing, competition, construction, licensing, construction
delays on new developments contractual and licensure, and other delays on the
disposition of assisted living communities in the Company's portfolio, and the
ability of the Company to continue managing its costs while maintaining high
occupancy rates and market rate assisted living charges in its assisted living
communities. The Company has attempted to identify, in context, certain of the
factors that they currently believe may cause actual future experience and
results to differ from the Company's current expectations regarding the relevant
matter or subject area. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release
the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be
made to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report or to
reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
RECENT ORGANIZATION; HISTORY OF LOSSES
The Company was organized and began operations in July 1993 and has operated
at a loss since its inception. For 1997 and 1998, the Company recorded a net
loss of $28.2 million and $31.0 million, respectively. These historical
losses are attributable to the growth in the size of the Company's portfolio
fueled by both acquisitions and developments. The majority of the acquired
Operating Communities operate at a loss following acquisition and the Company
expects such facilities to continue to operate at a loss for at least 12 to
18 months after the date of acquisition. Although the Company has slowed its
development activities, it continues to develop new assisted living
communities, all of which are expected to incur start-up losses for at least
12 months after commencing operations. As a result, the Company expects to
continue to incur losses at least through the end of 1999. In an effort to
reduce the impact of start-up losses from acquired and newly developed
communities on its current portfolio, the Company began a major restructuring
of its portfolio during 1998, selling its ownership and lease interests in 28
communities which represented net losses of $12.7 million and $16.5 million
or 45% and 54% of the Company's 1997 and 1998 net losses, respectively.
Continuing with this trend, in March 1999, the Company completed a
disposition of an additional 19 communities with aggregate 1998 net losses of
$300,000. See "Company Operations - Operating Strategy". There can be no
assurance, however, that the Company's operations will become profitable at
the rate currently expected by the Company, or at all. The Company's
inability to achieve profitability on a timely basis could have an adverse
effect on the Company's business, operating results, financial condition and
the market price of its Common Stock.
DIFFICULTIES INCREASING AND STABILIZING OCCUPANCY RATES; DIFFICULTIES
CONTAINING COSTS
Prior to the second quarter of 1998 the Company had experienced challenges
regarding its ability to increase occupancy levels as well as its ability to
match variable cost levels with occupancy. The Company's losses are partially
the result of lower than expected occupancy levels at the Company's newly
developed and acquired communities. In addition, the Company incurred higher
than expected variable costs as it established staffing and other costs
configurations to fluctuate effectively with occupancy. The Company has
increased occupancy levels significantly in the last three quarters of 1998,
filling more than 1,500 units. The Company has also improved and streamlined
a cost containment program geared at matching costs with occupancy levels.
However, there is no assurance that occupancy levels will continue to
increase at the rate currently expected by the Company, or at all or that
cost levels will continue to vary according to occupancy levels. The
Company's inability to increase occupancy levels or to control costs
throughout its portfolio could have an adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition and operating results.
<PAGE>
SUBSTANTIAL DEBT AND LEASE OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY
At December 31, 1998, the Company had mortgage indebtedness in an aggregate
amount of $125.4 million, with minimum principal payments estimated to be
approximately $12.6 million in 1999. As of December 31, 1998, approximately
$108.4 million principal amount of the Company's indebtedness bore interest at
fluctuating rates; therefore, increases in prevailing interest rates would
increase the Company's interest payment obligations and could have an adverse
effect on the Company's operating results and financial condition. At December
31, 1998, the Company was also a party to long-term operating leases for 52 of
its residential communities, which require minimum annual lease payments
estimated to be approximately $29.8 million in 1999. In addition, the Company
will have approximately $13.3 and $75.1 million in principal amount of debt
repayment obligations that become due in 2000 and 2001, respectively. The
Company intends to continue to finance its properties through a combination of
mortgage financing and operating leases, including leases arising through
sale/leaseback transactions. As a result of such mortgages and leases, a
substantial portion of the Company's cash flow will be devoted to debt service
and lease payments. There can be no assurance that the Company will generate
sufficient cash flow from operations to cover required interest, principal and
lease payments. Furthermore, from time to time the Company has not been in
compliance with certain covenants in its financing agreements. While to date the
Company has been able to obtain waivers for such noncompliance, there can be no
assurance that in the future it will be able to comply with such covenants,
which generally relate to matters such as cash flow and debt coverage ratios. If
the Company were unable to meet interest, principal or lease payments, it could
be required to re-negotiate such payments or obtain additional equity or debt
financing. There can be no assurance, however, that such efforts would be
successful or timely or that the terms of any such financing or refinancing
would be acceptable to the Company. Furthermore, because of cross-default and
cross-collateralization provisions in certain of the Company's mortgage and
sale/leaseback agreements, a default by the Company on one of its payment
obligations could adversely affect a significant number of the Company's
properties. The Company's leverage may also adversely affect the Company's
ability to respond to changing business and economic conditions or continue its
development and acquisition program.
NEED FOR ADDITIONAL CAPITAL; NEGATIVE CASH FLOW AND FINANCING REQUIREMENTS
The Company has experienced negative operating cash flow due to its significant
developments and acquisitions of assisted living communities since its
inception. The Company expects its newly developed assisted living communities
to generate positive cash flow nine to twelve months after commencing
operations. In addition, the Company expects that the properties it acquires for
repositioning as assisted living communities will typically require at least 12
months to 18 months after acquisition to begin to generate positive cash flows.
In an effort to reduce the impact of start-up losses from acquired and newly
developed communities on its current cash flow, the Company began a major
restructuring of its portfolio during 1998, selling its ownership and lease
interests in 28 communities. See "Company Operations - Operating Strategy".
There can be no assurance that any newly developed or repositioned community
will achieve a stabilized occupancy rate and resident mix that meets the
Company's expectations, generate positive cash flow or operating results
sufficient to allow the Company to refinance outstanding indebtedness secured by
the community through sale/leaseback transactions. The Company's future success
depends in part on arranging sale/leaseback financing or mortgage refinancing
for assisted living communities that have achieved stabilized occupancy rates,
resident mix and operating margins after initial development or repositioning.
The Company will from time to time seek additional funding through public or
private financing, including equity financing. If additional funds are raised by
issuing equity securities, the Company's shareholders may experience dilution.
There can be no assurance, however, that adequate equity, debt or sale/leaseback
financing will be available as needed or on terms acceptable to the Company. A
lack of available funds may require the Company to delay, scale back or
eliminate all or some of its development and acquisition projects.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST WITH HOLIDAY
Mr. Baty, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Colson, a director of
the Company, are the principal shareholders, directors and senior executive
officers of Holiday, and substantially all the independent living facilities
operated by Holiday are owned by partnerships controlled by Messrs. Baty and
Colson and in which they have varying financial interests. Messrs. Baty's and
Colson's responsibilities to Holiday and its affiliates include overseeing the
management of independent living facilities, the acquisition, financing and
refinancing of existing facilities and the
<PAGE>
development and construction of, and capital-raising activities to finance new
facilities. Although the Company believes that its relationship with Holiday is
beneficial, the financial interests and management and financing
responsibilities of Messrs. Baty and Colson, with respect to Holiday and its
affiliated partnerships could present conflicts of interest, including conflicts
relating to the selection of future development or acquisition sites,
competition for potential residents in markets where both companies operate and
the allocation of time and efforts of Mr. Baty. Because Mr. Baty is the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company and a principal executive officer of Holiday,
circumstances could arise that would distract him from the Company's operations,
which distractions could have an adverse effect on the Company's business,
operating results and financial condition. Moreover, there can be no assurance
that the Company's and Holiday's interests will remain compatible.
DEPENDENCE ON SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND SKILLED PERSONNEL
The Company depends, and will continue to depend, on the services of Daniel R.
Baty, its Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. The loss of the
services of Mr. Baty could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
operating results and financial condition. Mr. Baty has financial interests in
and management responsibilities with respect to Holiday and its related
partnerships. And, as a result, he will not be devoting his full time and
efforts to the Company. Under certain circumstances, Mr. Baty could have
conflicts of interest in allocating his time and efforts between the Company and
Holiday. The Company has entered into a noncompetition agreement with Mr. Baty
but this noncompetition agreement does not limit Mr. Baty's current role with
Holiday, or the related partnerships which own or lease properties currently
operated by Holiday, so long as assisted living is an incidental component to
Holiday's operation or management of independent-living facilities. The Company
has obtained a key employee insurance policy covering the life of of Mr. Baty in
the amount of $10.0 million. The Company also depends on its ability to attract
and retain management personnel who will be responsible for the day-to-day
operations of each of its residential communities. If the Company is unable to
hire qualified management to operate its assisted living communities, the
Company's business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely
affected. In March 1999, Raymond R. Brandstrom and Frank A. Ruffo retired from
their offices of President and Executive Vice President of the Company,
respectively, and will continue consulting on behalf of the Company. Mr.
Brandstrom will maintain his involvement in the Company's Board of Directors as
Vice Chairman.
POSSIBLE ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES
Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and
regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real property may be
held liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or
toxic substances, including, without limitation, asbestos-containing materials,
that could be located on, in or under such property. Such laws and regulations
often impose liability whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was
responsible for, the presence of the hazardous or toxic substances. The costs of
any required remediation or removal of these substances could be substantial and
the liability of an owner or operator as to any property is generally not
limited under such laws and regulations, and could exceed the property's value
and the aggregate assets of the owner or operator. The presence of these
substances or failure to remediate such substances properly may also adversely
affect the owner's ability to sell or rent the property, or to borrow using the
property as collateral. Under these laws and regulations, an owner, operator or
any entity who arranges for the disposal of hazardous or toxic substances such
as asbestos-containing materials, at a disposal site may also be liable for the
costs of any required remediation or removal of the hazardous or toxic
substances at the disposal site. In connection with the ownership or operation
of its properties, the Company could be liable for these costs, as well as
certain other costs, including governmental fines and injuries to persons or
properties. As a result, the presence, with or without the Company's knowledge,
of hazardous or toxic substances at any property held or operated by the Company
could have an adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and
financial condition.
DEPENDENCE ON ATTRACTING SENIORS WITH SUFFICIENT RESOURCES TO PAY
The Company currently, and for the foreseeable future, expects to rely primarily
on its residents' ability to pay the Company's fees from their own or familial
financial resources. Generally only seniors with income or assets meeting or
exceeding the comparable median in the region where the Company's assisted
living communities are located can afford the Company's fees. Inflation or other
circumstances that adversely affect the ability of seniors to pay for the
Company's services could have an adverse effect on the Company. If the Company
encounters difficulty in attracting seniors with adequate resources to pay for
its services, its business, operating results and financial condition could be
adversely affected.
<PAGE>
GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION
Healthcare is heavily regulated at the federal, state and local levels and
represents an area of expensive and frequent regulatory change. A number of
legislative and regulatory initiatives relating to long-term care are proposed
or under study at both the federal and state levels that, if enacted or adopted,
could have an adverse effect on the Company's business and operating results.
The Company cannot predict whether and to what extent any such legislative or
regulatory initiatives will be enacted or adopted, and therefore cannot assess
what effect any current or future initiative would have on the Company's
business and operating results. Changes in applicable laws and new
interpretations of existing laws can significantly affect the Company's
operations, as well as its revenues (particularly those from governmental
sources) and expenses. The Company's residential communities are subject to
varying degrees of regulation and licensing by local and state health and social
service agencies and other regulatory authorities specific to their location.
While regulations and licensing requirements often vary significantly from state
to state, they typically relate to fire safety, sanitation, staff training,
staffing levels and living accommodations such as room size, number of bathrooms
and ventilation, as well as regulatory requirements relating specifically to
certain of the Company's health-related services. The Company's success will
depend in part of its ability to satisfy such regulations and requirements and
to acquire and maintain any required licenses. In addition, with respect to its
residents who receive financial assistance from governmental sources for their
assisted living services, the Company is subject to certain federal and state
regulations that prohibit certain business practices and relationships that
might affect healthcare services reimbursable under Medicaid or similar state
reimbursements programs. The Company's failure to comply with such regulations
could jeopardize its reimbursement payments for any affected residents and, if
excessive, could result in fines and the suspension or failure to renew the
Company's operating licenses. Federal, state and local governments occasionally
conduct unannounced investigations, audits and reviews to determine whether
violations of applicable rules and regulations exist. Devoting management and
staff time and legal resources to such investigations, as well as any material
violation by the Company that is discovered in any such investigation, audit or
review, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and
operating results. There can be no assurance that regulatory oversight of
construction efforts associated with repositionings will not result in loss of
residents and disruption of community operations.
LIABILITY AND INSURANCE
The Company's business entails an inherent risk of liability. In recent years,
participants in the long-term-care industry have become subject to an increasing
number of lawsuits alleging malpractice or related legal theories, many of which
involve large claims and significant legal costs. The Company expects that from
time to time it will be subject to such suits as a result of the nature of its
business. The Company currently maintains insurance policies in amounts and with
such coverage and deductibles as it deems appropriate, based on the nature and
risks of its business, historical experience and industry standards. There can
be no assurance, however, that claims in excess of the Company's insurance
coverage or claims not covered by the Company's insurance coverage will not
arise. A successful claim against the Company not covered by, or in excess of,
the Company's insurance could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
operating results and financial condition. Claims against the Company,
regardless of their merit or eventual outcome, may also have a material adverse
effect on the Company's ability to attract residents or expand its business and
would require management to devote time to matters unrelated to the operation of
the Company's business. In addition, the Company's insurance policies must be
renewed annually, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
obtain liability insurance coverage in the future or, if available, that such
coverage will be on acceptable terms.
POSSIBLE VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE
The market price of the Company's Common Stock could be subject to significant
fluctuations in response to various factors and events, including, but not
limited to, the liquidity of the market for the Common Stock, variations in the
Company's operating results, variations from analysts expectations, new statutes
or regulations or changes in the interpretation of existing statutes or
regulations affecting the healthcare industry generally or the assisted living
residence business in particular. In addition, the stock market in recent years
has experienced broad price and volume fluctuations that often have been
unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market
fluctuations also may adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On April 24, 1998, the Company commenced a lawsuit against ARV Assisted Living
Inc. ("ARV") in Superior Court of the State of California for the County of
Orange alleging that share purchases on January 16, 1998 by Prometheus Assisted
Living LLC ("Prometheus") triggered the so-called flip-in feature of ARV's
poison pill.
The effect of the flip-in feature having been triggered by Prometheus is to
require ARV to distribute to all shareholders (other than Prometheus)
certificates for one Right per share owned on January 16, 1998. The Company
believes that each Right would be exercisable for approximately 9.56 shares at a
purchase price of $7.32 per share. The Rights are exercisable until August 8,
2007 and are transferable separate from the ARV common stock.
In connection with Prometheus' initial investment in ARV in July 1997, ARV
adopted a Rights Agreement (commonly referred to as a poison pill) which
provides that the flip-in feature is triggered if Prometheus acquires
"beneficial ownership" of 50% or more of ARV's outstanding common stock. The
flip-in is a defensive feature intended to discourage accumulation of control of
stock in excess of a specified level by allowing all shareholders other than the
acquiror to purchase additional common stock at a 50% discount to the average
closing market price of ARV's stock for the 30 trading days prior to the flip-in
being triggered.
In a Schedule 13D filing on January 20, 1998, Prometheus disclosed that on
January 16th it had acquired additional shares of ARV common stock, increasing
Prometheus' direct share ownership to 45% of the outstanding ARV common stock.
Previous Schedule 13D filings by Prometheus disclose that Prometheus also then
beneficially owned another 9% of ARV's common stock as a result of the
Stockholders' Voting Agreement dated October 29, 1997, between Prometheus and
certain management stockholders of ARV (collectively, the "Management
Stockholders"). Under the Stockholders' Voting Agreement, each Management
Stockholder agreed with Prometheus to vote its shares of ARV common stock in
support of Prometheus' nominees to ARV's Board of Directors.
The Company' complaint alleges that the Stockholders' Voting Agreement increases
Prometheus' beneficial ownership from its 45% direct ownership to 54%, thereby
triggering the flip-in feature of the poison pill. For purposes of determining
Prometheus' beneficial ownership, the Rights Agreement treats Prometheus as
beneficially owning shares held by "any other person with which Prometheus has
any agreement, arrangement or understanding whether or not in writing, for the
purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of any securities of ARV."
The Company' complaint seeks the following injunctive and declaratory relief:
(i) an order directing ARV to distribute Right Certificates to all holders of
common stock of ARV (other than Prometheus) as of January 16, 1998; and (ii) an
order declaring that a "Trigger Event" (as defined in the Rights Agreement)
occurred on January 16, 1998 when Prometheus acquired beneficial ownership of
more than 50% of ARV's common stock.
Prometheus is an investment vehicle controlled by Lazard Freres Real Estate
Investors L.L.C. ("Lazard"). Lazard's activities consist principally of acting
as general partner of several real estate investment partnerships affiliated
with Lazard Freres & Co. LLC.

</TABLE>
As of March 26, 1999, the number of record holders of the Company's Common Stock
was 160.
The Company has never declared or paid any dividends on its Common Stock, and
expects to retain any future earnings to finance the operation and expansion of
its business. Future dividend payments will depend on the results or operations,
financial condition, capital expenditure plans and other obligations of the
Company and will be at the sole discretion of the Company's Board of Directors.
Certain of the Company's existing leases and lending arrangements contain
provisions that restrict the Company's ability to pay dividends, and it is
anticipated that the terms of future leases and the debt financings may contain
similar restrictions. Therefore, the Company does not anticipate paying any cash
dividends on its Common Stock in the foreseeable future.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
Emeritus is a nationally integrated senior housing services organization focused
on operating residential-style assisted living communities. The Company is one
of the largest and most experienced providers of assisted living communities in
the United States. These communities provide a residential housing alternative
for senior citizens who need help with the activities of daily living, with an
emphasis on assisted living and personal care services.
The Company's revenues are derived primarily from rents and service fees charged
to its residents. For 1996, 1997 and 1998, the Company generated total operating
revenues of $68.9 million, $117.8 million and $151.8 million, respectively. As
of December 31, 1998, the Company's accumulated deficit was $80.5 million and
its total shareholders' deficit was $46.0 million. For 1996, 1997 and 1998, the
Company incurred losses of $8.2 million, $28.6 million and $28.8 million
(excluding the extraordinary item and a charge related to the cumulative effect
of a change in accounting principle in 1998), respectively.
The Company's losses to date result from a number of factors. These factors
include, but are not limited to: the development of 48 and acquisition of 69
assisted living communities since inception that incurred operating losses
during the initial 12 to 24 month rent-up phase; initially lower levels of
occupancy at the Company's communities than originally anticipated; financing
costs arising from sale/leaseback transactions and mortgage financing;
refinancing transactions at proportionately higher levels of debt; and
increased administrative and corporate expenses to facilitate the Company's
growth.
During 1998 the Company adopted an operating strategy focused on: 1)
increasing occupancy throughout the Company's portfolio, 2) reducing
acquisition and development activities and 3) disposing of select communities
operating at a loss. Occupancy at December 31, 1998 increased 9% to 81%
compared to 72% at December 31, 1997. In addition, average occupancy
increased 4% to 77% for 1998 compared to 73% for 1997. The Company has
significantly reduced its acquisition and development activities during 1998.
The Company acquired 36 and 10 communities in 1996 and 1997, respectively,
and two communities during 1998. In addition, the Company opened 11, 20 and
five development communities in 1996, 1997 and 1998 respectively. Slowing its
acquisition and development activities has enabled the Company to utilize its
resources more efficiently and increase its focus on community operations.
During 1998 the Company disposed of its interests in 28 communities, 22 of
which were leased from Meditrust. The Company retains a management interest
in all 28 facilities through three year management contracts and has an
option and a right of first refusal to purchase 22 and three of these
facilities, respectively, during this three year period. In addition, the
Company has disposed of its leasehold interests in an additional 19
communities during the first quarter of 1999.
<PAGE>
As of March 23, 1999, the Company held ownership, leasehold or management
interests in 117 residential communities (the "Operating Communities")
consisting of approximately 10,400 units with the capacity for 12,000
residents, located in 29 states. Of the 117 Operating Communities, 20 and 11
newly developed communities were opened during 1997 and 1998, respectively.
The Company owns, has a leasehold interest in, management interest in or has
acquired an option to purchase development sites for 17 new assisted living
communities (the "Development Communities"). Of the Development Communities,
13 are scheduled to open during 1999, the remainder in 2000. The Company
leases 53 of its residential communities, typically from a financial
institution such as a Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT"), owns 15
communities, manages or provides administrative services for 41 communities
and has a partnership interest or joint venture in seven communities.
Additionally, the Company holds a minority interest in Alert Care Corporation
("Alert"), an Ontario, Canada based owner and operator of 21 assisted living
communities consisting of approximately 1,200 units with a capacity of
approximately 1,300 residents. See "--Strategic Relationships - Alert
Relationship". Assuming completion of the Development Communities scheduled
to open throughout 1999 and including the minority interest in Alert, the
Company will own, lease, have an ownership or partnership interest in, joint
venture or manage 151 properties in 29 states, Canada and Japan, containing
an aggregate of approximately 12,900 units with capacity of over 14,500
residents. There can be no assurance, however, that the Development
Communities will be completed on schedule and will not be affected by
construction delays, the effects of government regulation or other factors
beyond the Company's control." The Company's management of assisted living
communities owned or leased by others has not been material to the Company's
business or revenue.
The following table sets forth a summary of the Company's property
interests.

REVENUES. Total operating revenues for 1998 were $151.8 million, reflecting a
$34.0 million increase, or 29% compared to $117.8 million for 1997. The
increase is primarily due increased occupancy throughout the Company's
portfolio. Occupancy at December 31, 1998 increased 9% to 81% compared to 72%
as of December 31, 1997. Furthermore, average occupancy for 1998 was 77%
compared to 73% for 1997, an increase of 4%. In addition to the increase in
occupancy, the Company opened five newly developed communities in 1998 which
accounted for a $3.0 million increase in revenue.
COMMUNITY OPERATIONS. Community operating expenses increased to $110.6 million
for 1998 from $82.8 for 1997, an increase of $27.8 million, or 34%. As a
percentage of total revenues, community operations increased to 73% for 1998
compared to 70% for 1997. These increases are the result of 1) increased labor
costs due to the overall census increase throughout the Company's portfolio, 2)
the opening of five newly developed communities during 1998, 3) increased sales
and marketing costs and 4) the recording of start-up and organization costs as
operating expenses in accordance with SOP 98-5, which would previously have
been deferred and amortized.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and Administrative ("G&A") costs have
increased $2.8 million, or 26% to $13.6 million for 1998 compared to $10.8
million for 1997. As a percentage of revenues, G&A costs have stayed relatively
constant at 9% for 1998 and 1997. The overall increase of $2.8 million is
primarily attributable to greater personnel costs due to the growth of the
Company.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. For 1998 depreciation and amortization expense
decreased 14% to $5.7 million from $6.6 million for 1997. As a percentage of
total revenue, depreciation and amortization expense decreased to 4% for 1998
compared to 6% for 1997. The decrease is the result of expensing previously
deferred start-up in accordance with SOP 98-5.
<PAGE>
RENT. Rent expense for 1998 increased 20% or $6.8 million to $41.5 million from
$34.7 million for 1997. This increase is primarily attributable to the opening
of five newly developed communities in 1998 and 20 in 1997. In addition, the
increase is partly the result of lease provisions providing for additional
payments based on a percentage of revenue in the 1998 period. As a percentage of
total revenue, rent expense decreased 2% to 27% for the year ended December 31,
1998 compared to 29% for the year ended December 31, 1997.
OTHER. As compared to 1997 where the Company incurred $4.4 million of charges
related to the termination of the Company's tender offer for ARV and changes in
the Company's operating structure, the Company incurred no such operating costs
in 1998.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased $5.8 million or 69% to $14.2
million for 1998 compared to $8.4 million for 1997, As a percentage of revenue,
interest expense increased 3% to 9% for 1998 compared to 6% for 1997. This
increase is primarily the result of an increase in mortgage interest expense due
to the refinancing of several properties during the second quarter of 1998. In
addition, total debt increased approximately $11 million to $132 million as of
December 31, 1998 compared to $121 million as of December 31, 1997.
OTHER, NET. For 1998, other, net increased $3.2 million to $3.8 million from
approximately $600,000, a 531% increase. The increase is a result of gains
realized on the sale of investment securities and the dispositions of
communities.
EXTRAORDINARY ITEM. The Company recognized an extraordinary loss of
approximately $937,000 for 1998, representing the write-off of loan fees and
other related costs of the Company's early extinguishment of debt when it
refinanced 10 communities.
CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE. In 1998, the Company
incurred a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of $1.3 million
related to the early adoption of SOP 98-5, which requires that costs of start-up
activities and organization costs be expensed as incurred.
COMPARISON OF THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996
REVENUES. Total operating revenues for 1997 were $117.8 million, representing a
$48.8 million, or 71%, increase over revenues of $68.9 million for 1996. The
increase resulted from the opening of new developments and the related fill-up
of units and the acquisition of communities during 1997. The Company ended with
71 and 100 communities representing approximately 5,900 and 8,700 units as of
December 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively, an increase of 41%. For 1997, there
was a decline in average occupancy to 71% from 74% for 1996, primarily
attributable to the opening of 20 new communities during 1997. The impact on
revenue from the decline in occupancy was offset by an increase in the rate per
occupied unit.
COMMUNITY OPERATIONS. Expenses for community operations for 1997 were $82.8
million, representing a $33.9 million, or 69%, increase over $48.9 million for
1996, primarily due to the Company's opening of new developments and the
acquisition of communities during 1997. As a percentage of total operating
revenues, expenses for community operations decreased to 70% for 1997, from 71%
for 1996.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. G&A expenses for 1997 were $10.8 million,
representing an increase of $4.7 million, or 76%, from $6.2 million for 1996. As
a percentage of total operating revenues, G&A expenses remained unchanged at 9%
for 1996 and 1997 while the number of employees located at the corporate office
was 83 and 90 at December 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively. The dollar increase
in G&A expenses was attributable to salaries and associated costs relating to
additional employment in conjunction with new business, increased accounting
costs and higher travel and other costs relating to the Company's larger number
of communities. G&A costs are expected to continue to increase proportionally
with revenues and community operations at least through 1998 as the Company
acquires additional existing communities and develops new communities.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization for 1997 was $6.6
million, or 6%, of total operating revenues, compared to $2.9 million or 4%, of
total operating revenues, for 1996. The increase was due to a combination of an
increase in pre-opening amortization expense from the opening of 20 developments
in 1997 and the addition of four owned communities, net of communities sold in
sale/leaseback transactions in 1997. The Company owned 19%, or 19 of its 100
communities representing approximately 2,100 units at December 31, 1997 compared
to 21%, or 15 of its 71 communities representing approximately 1,500 units at
December 31, 1996.
<PAGE>
RENT. Rent expense for 1997 was $34.6 million, representing an increase of $18.5
million, or 115%, from rent expense of $16.1 million for 1996. As a percentage
of total operating revenues, rent expense increased to 29% for 1997, from 23%
for 1996. The dollar increases were due to additional lease financing or
sale/leaseback transactions. The Company leased 76%, or 76 out of 100 of its
residential communities representing approximately 6,100 units as of December
31, 1997 compared to 75%, or 53 out of 71 communities representing approximately
4,200 units as of December 31, 1996. The increase in rent expense as a
percentage of revenue is attributable to the opening of newly developed
communities, in their fill-up stage, operated by the Company under lease
agreements. The Company expects an occupancy fill-up period of 12 to 24 months
for a newly developed community. As the fill-up of newly developed communities
continues, rent expense as a percentage of revenue is expected to decrease.
OTHER. The Company incurred other expense of $4.4 million for 1997 which
represents charges related to the termination of the Company's tender offer for
ARV and changes in the Company's operating structure. In 1997, the Company
wrote-off certain capitalized pre-opening and marketing expenses related to
newly opened developed communities prior to July 1997. This write-off was a
result of changes in senior operating personnel and the Company's marketing
approach.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense for 1997 was $8.4 million compared to $4.3
million for 1996, increasing as a percentage of total operating revenue to 7%
for 1997 from 6% for 1996. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of
four communities through mortgage financing bearing interest at rates between 8%
and 18%, construction financings bearing interest at fixed rates between 9.0%
and 9.25% and the opening of four developments owned by the Company, all
partially offset by sale/leaseback refinancings, as well as, interest costs
related to the Company's investment in ARV common stock.
SAME COMMUNITY COMPARISON
The Company operated 86 communities ("Same Community") on a comparable basis
during both the three months ended December 31, 1997 and 1998. The following
table sets forth a comparison of Same Community results of operations for the
three months ended December 31, 1997 and 1998.

The Same Communities represented $36.8 million or 90% of the Company's total
operating revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 1998. Same Community
revenues increased $5.5 million or 17% to $36.8 million for the three months
ended December 31, 1998 compared to $31.4 million for the comparable period in
1997. This increase in revenue is the result of increased occupancy at the Same
Communities and monthly rate increases due to an expanded range of services
offered at the communities. For the quarter ended December 31, 1998 occupancy
increased 11% to 85% from 74% for the quarter ended December 31, 1997. In
addition, revenue per occupied unit increased to $2,016 for the quarter ended
December 31, 1998 compared to $1,972 for the quarter ended December 31, 1997.
For the quarter ended December 31, 1998 the Company generated operating income
of $1.6 million compared to an operating loss of $2.6 million for the comparable
period in 1997, an improvement of $4.2 million or 162%.
The Company operated 63 communities ("Same Community") on a comparable basis
during both the year ended December 31, 1997 and 1998. The following table

The Same Communities represented $100.4 million or 66% of the Company's total
operating revenue for 1998. Same Community revenues increased $5.6 million or
6% to $100.4 million for 1998 compared to $94.8 million for 1997. This
increase in revenue is the result of increased occupancy at the Same
Communities and monthly rate increases due to an expanded range of services
offered at the communities. For 1998 occupancy increased 3% to 84% from 81%
for 1997. In addition, revenue per occupied unit increased to $2,033 for 1998
compared to $1,965 for 1997. For 1998 the Company generated both operating and
net income of $3.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively, compared to
operating income and a net loss of $1.4 million and $0.9 million,
respectively, for 1997, an improvement of over $2 million and in excess of
100% for both figures.
<PAGE>
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
CASH FLOWS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998. For 1998, net cash used in
operating activities was $21.8 million, primarily due to losses incurred on
newly acquired and developed communities. The Company obtained $20.4 million in
proceeds from the sale of communities in sales transactions and repaid related
mortgage indebtedness of $12.7 million as well as $56.6 million of unrelated
mortgage indebtedness which primarily relates to the refinancing of 10 assisted
living communities. The Company obtained $5.4 million in proceeds from the sale
of investment securities. The Company also incurred additional long-term debt of
$105.2 million related to the aforementioned refinancing and purchased
additional property and equipment and property held for development of $30.4
million. As a result of these acquisition and financing transactions the Company
decreased its cash position by approximately $6.0 million. As of December 31,
1998, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $977,000.
In 1997 and 1998, the Company purchased 517,200 shares of its common stock at an
aggregate cost of $5.7 million.
In April 1998, the Company entered into a lending arrangement with Deutsche Bank
North America ("Deutsche"). The loan terms specify a three year loan not to
exceed $77.9 million with a 30-day LIBOR rate plus 2.95%. The Company used the
proceeds to refinance 10 of its Operating Communities. At December 31, 1998, the
Company has $73.2 million outstanding with Deutsche under this arrangement.
During 1998, the Company disposed of 28 of its buildings through the Emeritrust
transaction and through sales to related parties. These dispositions netted
proceeds of $33.2 million after repayment of outstanding debt of $12.8 million.
In addition, the Emeritrust transaction will reduce operating lease payments of
the Company by $11.3 million. See "--Company Operations--Operating Strategy."
The Company was committed to enter into long-term operating leases with a
REIT for communities currently under development. In March 1999, the Company
completed a disposition of its leasehold interest in these development
communities. See "--Company Operations--Operating Strategy."
The Company has been, and expects to continue to be, dependent on third-party
financing for its cash needs in connection with operating losses as well as
with its acquisition and development of communities. There can be no assurance
that financing for these requirements will be available to the Company on
acceptable terms. Moreover, to the extent the Company acquires communities
that do not generate positive cash flow, the Company may be required to seek
additional capital or borrowings for working capital and liquidity purposes.
YEAR 2000
GENERAL
The Company has developed a plan (the "Plan") to modify its information
technology to address "Year 2000" problems. The concerns surrounding the Year
2000 are the result of computer programs being written using two digits rather
than four to define the applicable year. Programs that employ time-sensitive
software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year
2000. This could cause system errors or failures.
PLAN
The Plan is comprised of three components including assessment of: a) the IT
infrastructure (hardware and systems software other than application software);
b) application software; and b) third party suppliers/vendors. The Company
commenced work on the Plan in the fourth quarter of 1998 by taking inventory of
Year 2000 problems in the areas of IT infrastructure as well as application
software. In addition, the Company has determined the priority of the items
based on their materiality to the Company's operations. No material items have
been noted to date. For each component, the Company will address Year 2000
problems in six phases: 1) taking inventory of Year 2000 problems; 2) assigning
priorities to identified items; 3) assessing materiality of items to the
Company's operations; 4) replacing/repairing material non-compliant items; 5)
testing material items; and 6) designing and implementing business continuation
plans. Material items are those believed by the Company to have a risk that may
affect revenue or may cause a discontinuation of operations. The Company
estimates a completion date of June 30, 1999.
<PAGE>
COSTS
The project is not expected to be material to the Company's operations or
financial position. The total cost is not expected to exceed $50,000 of which
approximately $2,500 have been incurred to date.
RISKS
The failure to correct a material Year 2000 problem could result in an
interruption in, or a failure of, normal business activities or operations. Such
failures could materially affect the Company's results of operations, liquidity,
and financial condition. The Company is unable to determine at this time whether
the consequences of Year 2000 failures will have a material impact on its
results of operations, liquidity or financial condition due, in part, to
uncertainty regarding compliance by third parties. The Plan is expected to
significantly reduce the Company's level of uncertainty regarding the Year 2000
problem, however, particularly compliance and readiness of its third-party
suppliers/vendors. The Company believes that, with the completion of the Plan as
scheduled, the possibility of significant interruptions of normal operations
will be reduced and, therefore, a contingency plan has not been deemed
necessary to date.
IMPACT OF INFLATION
To date, inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company. Inflation
could, however, affect the Company's future revenues and operating income due to
the Company's dependence on its senior resident population, most of whom rely on
relatively fixed incomes to pay for the Company's services. As a result, the
Company's ability to increase revenues in proportion to increased operating
expenses may be limited. The Company typically does not rely to a significant
extent on governmental reimbursement programs. In pricing its services, the
Company attempts to anticipate inflation levels, but there can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to respond to inflationary pressures in the
future.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
"Safe Harbor" Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995: A number of the matters and subject areas discussed in this report that
are not historical or current facts deal with potential future circumstances,
operations, and prospects. The discussion of such matters and subject areas is
qualified by the inherent risks and uncertainties surrounding future
expectations generally, and also may materially differ from the Company's actual
future experience involving any one or more of such matters and subject areas
relating to demand, pricing, competition, construction, licensing, permitting,
construction delays on new developments contractual and licensure, and other
delays on the disposition of assisted living communities in the Company's
portfolio, and the ability of the Company to continue managing its costs while
maintaining high occupancy rates and market rate assisted living charges in its
assisted living communities. The Company has attempted to identify, in context,
certain of the factors that they currently believe may cause actual future
experience and results to differ from the Company's current expectations
regarding the relevant matter or subject area. These and other risks and
uncertainties are detailed in the Company's reports filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, including the Company's Annual Reports on Form 10-K and
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company's earnings are affected by changes in interest rates as a result of
its short and long term borrowings. The Company manages this risk by obtaining
fixed rate borrowings when possible. At December 31, 1998, the Company's
variable rate borrowings totaled $97.3 million. If market interest rates average
2% more in 1999 than they did in 1998, the Company's interest expense would
increase and income before taxes would decrease by $1.9 million. These amounts
are determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on the
Company's outstanding variable rate borrowings as of December 31, 1998 and does
not consider changes in the actual level of borrowings which may occur
subsequent to December 31, 1998. This analysis also does not consider the
effects of the reduced level of overall economic activity that could exist in
such an environment nor does it consider likely actions that management could
take with respect to the Company's financial structure to mitigate the exposure
to such a change.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Emeritus Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Emeritus Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive operations,
shareholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 1998. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Emeritus
Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1998 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the
Company changed its method of accounting for start-up costs and organization
costs.

EMERITUS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Emeritus Assisted Living - Emeritus Corporation ("Emeritus" or the "Company") is
a nationally integrated assisted living organization focused on operating
residential style communities. These communities provide a residential housing
alternative for senior citizens who need help with the activities of daily
living, with an emphasis on assisted living and personal care services. The
Company also provides management services to third-party owners of assisted
living communities.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its majority-owned subsidiaries. In addition, the accounts of limited liability
companies and partnerships ("LLCs") have been consolidated where the Company
maintains effective control over the LLCs' assets and operations, not
withstanding a lack of technical majority ownership of the LLCs. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Operating revenue consists of resident fee revenue and management services
revenue. Resident units are rented on a month-to-month basis and rent is
recognized in the month the unit is occupied. Service fees paid by residents for
assisted-living and other related services and management fees are recognized in
the period services are rendered. Management services revenue is comprised of
revenue from management contracts and is recognized in the month in which it is
earned in accordance with the terms of the management contract.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
All short-term investments, consisting primarily of commercial paper and
certificates of deposit, with a maturity at date of purchase of three months or
less are considered to be cash equivalents.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are
computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets as follows: buildings and improvements, 25 to 40 years; furniture,
equipment and vehicles, five to seven years; leasehold improvements, over the
lesser of the estimated useful life or the lease term.
For long-lived assets, including property and equipment, the Company evaluates
the carrying value of the assets by comparing the estimated future cash flows
generated from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition with the
assets' reported net book values. The carrying values of assets are evaluated
for impairment when events or changes in circumstances occur which may indicate
the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable.
INVESTMENTS
Investment securities are classified as available-for-sale and are recorded at
fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of any related tax effect,
are excluded from results of operations and are reported as a component of other
comprehensive income (loss).
Investments in 20% to 50% owned affiliates are accounted for under the equity
method except where lack of voting power exists. Investments in less than 20%
owned entities are accounted for under the cost method.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets, which are comprised of deferred financing costs, (included in
other assets) as well as lease acquisition costs are amortized on the
straight-line method over the term of the related debt or lease agreement.
INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes are provided based on the estimated future tax effects of
temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing
assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates that are expected to apply to
taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to
be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a
change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded for deferred tax assets when
it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not be realized.
DEFERRED RENT
Deferred rent primarily represents lease incentives which are deferred and
amortized using the straight-line method over the lives of the associated
leases.
DEFERRED GAINS ON SALE OF COMMUNITIES
Deferred gains on sale/leasebacks of communities are deferred and amortized
using the straight-line method over the lives of the associated leases. The
Company has no continuing involvement in communities which it has sold and
leased back outside of operating the communities.
COMMUNITY OPERATIONS
Community operations represent direct costs incurred to operate the communities
and include costs such as resident activities, marketing, housekeeping, food
service, payroll and benefits, facility maintenance, utilities, taxes and
licenses.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED TO EMPLOYEES
and related Interpretations in measuring compensation costs for its stock option
plans. The Company discloses pro forma net income (loss) and net income (loss)
per share as if compensation cost had been determined consistent with Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED
COMPENSATION.
NET LOSS PER SHARE
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed based on weighted average shares
outstanding and excludes any potential dilution. Diluted net income (loss) per
share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares
outstanding plus dilutive potential common shares using the treasury stock
method. The capital structure of the Company includes convertible debentures,
redeemable convertible preferred stock, as well as stock options. The assumed
conversion and exercise of these securities have been excluded from the
calculation of diluted net loss per share as their effect is anti-dilutive.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
Foreign currency amounts attributable to foreign operations have been translated
into U.S. dollars using year-end exchange rates for assets and liabilities,
historical rates for equity, and average annual rates for revenues and expenses.
Unrealized gains and losses arising from fluctuations in the year-end exchange
rates are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss).
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications of the 1996 and 1997 amounts have been made to conform
to the 1998 presentation.
(2) CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
In April 1997, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued Statement of
Position 98-5 (SOP 98-5), REPORTING ON THE COSTS OF START-UP ACTIVITIES. This
statement provides guidance on financial reporting for start-up costs and
organization costs and requires such costs to be expensed as incurred. The
Company elected early adoption of this statement effective January 1, 1998 and
has reported a charge of $1,320,000 for the cumulative effect of this change in
accounting principle. The adoption of SOP 98-5 on January 1, 1998 resulted in
the Company expensing approximately $967,000 of start-up costs incurred in 1998.
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards 130 (SFAS 130), REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE INCOME.
This statement establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive
income and its components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements.
The purpose of reporting comprehensive income is to report a measure of all
changes in equity of an enterprise that result from recognized transactions and
other economic events of the period other than transactions with owners in their
capacity as owners. The Company adopted SFAS 130 effective January 1, 1998.
(3) RESTRICTED DEPOSITS
Restricted deposits consist of funds required by various Real Estate Investment
Trusts ("REITs") to be placed on deposit until the Company's communities meet
certain debt coverage and/or cash flow coverage ratios, at which time the funds
will be released to the Company. As of December 31, 1997 and 1998, the Company
had $10.8 million and $8.4 million in restricted deposits, respectively.
(4) PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment consist of the following:

property held for development and construction in progress was $1.4 million,
$2.7 million and $0.1 million for 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively.
At December 31, 1998, the Company was committed to enter into long-term
operating leases with a REIT for communities currently under development. In
March 1999, the Company completed a disposition of its leasehold interests in
these development communities (note 20).
(6) INVESTMENT SECURITIES
During 1997, the Company purchased common stock of ARV Assisted Living, Inc.
("ARV") in market transactions and at December 31, 1997, the Company held
1,077,200 shares of ARV common stock. Also in 1997, the Company initiated a
tender offer which was terminated in January 1998, for all of the remaining
outstanding common stock of ARV. The Company incurred costs of $3,418,000
associated with this activity in 1997.
During 1998, the Company sold a portion of the ARV common stock in market
transactions realizing gains approximating $450,000 which are included in other
income, net. Details regarding the ARV investment as of December 31, follow:

The Company has financial instruments other than investment securities
consisting of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, notes
receivable from and investments in affiliates, short-term borrowings, accounts
payable, convertible debentures, redeemable preferred stock and long-term debt.
The fair value of the Company's financial instruments based on their short-term
nature or current market indicators such as prevailing interest rates
approximate their carrying value with the exception of the convertible
debentures which had a fair value of $28.6 million versus a book value of $32.0
million at December 31, 1998.
(8) NOTES RECEIVABLE FROM AND INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATED COMPANIES
In November 1996, the Company agreed to purchase up to 6,888,466 shares of
convertible preferred stock of Alert Care Corporation ("Alert"), an Ontario,
Canada-based owner and operator of assisted-living communities at prices
ranging from $0.67 to $0.74 per share (Cdn). In addition, the Company
acquired an option to purchase an additional 4,000,000 shares of convertible
preferred stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share (Cdn), as well as an
option to purchase from Eclipse Capital Management ("Eclipse"), the majority
shareholder of Alert, and certain other shareholders of Alert, 9,050,000
issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Alert and 950,000 issued and
outstanding shares of Class A non-voting stock of Alert both at an exercise
price of $3.25 per share (Cdn). There was no cost in acquiring the option to
purchase additional shares from Alert and no value was assigned to the option
by the Company.

Alert has entered into an exclusive management agreement to manage the Company's
future assisted-living communities in Ontario. Eclipse, through its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Eclipse Construction Inc., develops and constructs retirement homes
for Alert on a contract basis. Under the agreement, Eclipse has entered into an
exclusive development agreement with the Company to develop its future
construction projects in Ontario. No communities have been developed under these
agreements as of December 31, 1998.
During 1998, the Company sold its interest in a community located in Texas to a
partnership in which the principal shareholder of the Company is a partner.
Pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement, the Company advanced funds to the
partnership of $1.0 million and $800,000 subject to promissory notes bearing
interest at 9% and payable in 10 years and on demand, respectively. The $1.0
million note contains additional funding provisions whereby the Company funds
20% of the losses generated by the community up to $500,000, of which $350,000
is outstanding at December 31, 1998. The Company at its option can then convert
its $1.5 million investment into a 20% interest in the partnership. In addition,
the Company has advanced the partnership $450,000 under a repair note bearing
interest at 9% and due June 2008. At December 31, 1998, the Partnership's
obligations to the Company total $2.6 million.
In 1998, the Company entered into a $5.0 million credit agreement with Aurora
Bay Investments, L.L.C. ("Aurora Bay"), a limited liability company that
acquires, develops and operates Alzheimer's special care facilities. In
September 1998, the credit agreement was assumed by a related party for $4.2
million which equaled the total advances made under the facility.
(9) CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
The Company has $32.0 million of 6.25% convertible subordinated debentures (the
"Debentures") which are due in 2006. The Debentures are convertible into common
stock at the rate of $22 per share, which equates to an aggregate of
approximately 1,454,545 shares of the Company's common stock and bear interest
payable semiannually on January 1 and July 1 of each year. The Debentures are
unsecured and subordinated to all other indebtedness of the Company.
The Debentures are subject to redemption, as a whole or in part, at any time or
from time to time commencing after July 1, 1999 at the Company's option on at
least 30 days' and not more than 60 days' prior notice.
The redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) are as
follows for the 12-month period beginning after July 1 of the following years:

(12) MARGIN LOAN ON EQUITY SECURITIES
During 1997, the Company opened a margin account to facilitate the acquisition
of marketable securities. This account had a loan balance of $9,165,000 and
$2,324,000 at December 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively, secured by marketable
equity securities with respective market values of $17,235,000 and $4,491,000.
This loan is due upon the sale of the securities and bears interest at 0.375%
under broker call (6.125% as of December 31, 1998).
(13) INCOME TAXES
Income taxes reported by the Company differ from the amount computed by applying
the statutory rate primarily due to limitations on utilizing net operating
losses.
The tax effect of temporary differences and carryforwards that give rise to
significant portions of deferred tax assets and liabilities are comprised of the
following:

</TABLE>
The net increase in the total valuation allowance was $9,380,000 and $11,856,000
for 1997 and 1998, respectively. The increases were primarily due to the
increase in deferred gains on sale/leasebacks and the amount of net operating
loss carryforwards, for which management does not believe that it is more likely
than not that realization is assured.
For federal income tax purposes, the Company has net operating loss
carryforwards at December 31, 1998, available to offset future federal taxable
income, if any, of approximately $57,539,000 expiring beginning in 2011.
(14) RELATED-PARTY MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS
During 1995, the Company's two most senior executive officers, CEO and now
former President, formed a New York general partnership (the "Partnership") to
facilitate the operation of assisted-living communities in the state of New
York, which generally requires that natural persons be designated as the
licensed operators of assisted-living communities. The Partnership operates ten
leased communities in New York. The Company has agreements with the Partnership
and the partners under which all of the Partnership's profits have been assigned
to the Company and the Company has indemnified the partners against losses. In
February 1999, the President of the Company ceased to be an officer of the
Company and has agreed to transfer his ownership in the Partnership to his
successor at a nominal value. As the Company has unilateral and perpetual
control over the Partnership's assets and operations, the results of operations
of the Partnership are consolidated with those of the Company.

EMERITUS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
A number of limited partnerships which are partly owned indirectly by Mr. Baty,
the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, develop, own and lease
senior housing projects, some of which cater to low income seniors. The Company
has agreements with these partnerships to provide certain administrative
support, due diligence and financial support services with respect to the
acquisition, development and administration of these communities. The agreements
have terms ranging from two to four years, with options to renew, and provide
for management fees ranging from 4% to 7% of gross operating revenues and fixed
administrative fees. Management fee revenue earned under these agreements was
approximately $103,000 and $535,000 in 1997 and 1998, respectively.
In 1998, the Company and XL Management Company L.L.C., ("XL Management"), an
affiliate of Holiday Retirement Corp., an owner and operator of
independent-living communities, entered into four management agreements whereby
XL Management will provide management services relating to four newly developed
assisted-living communities located in Texas. The agreements have initial terms
of two years six months with management fees based on 6% of gross revenues
payable monthly. Total fees in 1998 amounted to $187,000. The Company will pay a
bonus fee per community to XL Management based on occupancy; one year after
managing the communities, if occupancy is between 75% and 89%, XL Management
will receive a bonus fee of $25,000 and if occupancy is 90% or greater the bonus
fee will be $50,000. The Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and
another member of the Company's board of directors are principal shareholders
and officers of Holiday.
In addition to the foregoing, the Company entered into 25 management
agreements with a related party for properties previously leased and owned
(note 18).
(15) SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
In December 1997, the Company purchased 25,600 shares of its common stock at an
aggregate cost of $341,000. In January 1998, the Company's board of directors
authorized a stock repurchase program to acquire up to an additional 500,000
shares of the Company's common stock. At December 31, 1998, the Company had
acquired a total of 517,200 shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of
$5.7 million.
1995 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
The Company has a 1995 stock incentive plan ("1995 Plan") which combines the
features of an incentive and nonqualified stock option plan, stock appreciation
rights and a stock award plan (including restricted stock). The 1995 Plan is a
long-term incentive compensation plan and is designed to provide a competitive
and balanced incentive and reward program for participants.
The Company has authorized 1,600,000 shares of common stock to be reserved for
grants under the 1995 Plan of which 155,384 remained available for future awards
at December 31, 1998. Options generally vest between three-year to five-year
periods, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors, in cumulative increments beginning one year after the date of the
grant and expire not later than ten years from the date of grant. The options
are granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common
stock on the date of the grant.
In November 1998, the Company offered, at the election of individual employees,
a repricing of options granted to date at an exercise price of $9.8125 which was
equal to the fair market value of the stock on the grant date. A total of
1,005,166 shares were forfeited and reissued under the repricing transaction.

The fair value of each option grant has been estimated on the date of grant
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions used
for grants in 1996, 1997 and 1998: dividend yield of 0.0% for all periods;
expected volatility of 55% for 1996, 49.1% for 1997 and 48.9% for 1998;
risk-free interest rates of 5.47% to 6.39% for 1996, 5.45% to 5.50% for 1997,
and 4.51% to 4.70% for 1998; and an expected option term of 4.5 years and 5
years for 1996 and 1997, respectively, and for 1998 of 2 to 5 years, giving
effect to the option repricing.

EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
In July 1998, the Company adopted an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the Plan) to
provide substantially all employees who have completed six months of service an
opportunity to purchase shares of its common stock through payroll deductions,
up to 15% of eligible compensation. A total of 200,000 shares are available for
purchase under the Plan. Monthly, participant account balances are used to
purchase shares of stock on the open market at the lesser of the fair market
value of shares on the first or last day of the participation period. Employees
may not exceed $25,000 in annual purchases. The Employee Stock Purchase Plan
expires in May 2008. At December 31, 1998, 900 shares have been purchased by
employees under the Plan.
(16) REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK
The Company has authorized 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par
value. Pursuant to such authority, in October 1997, the Company issued and sold
25,000 shares of Series A cumulative convertible, exchangeable, redeemable
preferred stock for $25,000,000. Cumulative dividends of 9% are payable
quarterly. The preferred stock has a mandatory redemption date of October 24,
2004 at a price equal to $1,000 per share plus any accrued but unpaid dividends.
Each share of preferred stock may be converted, at the option of the holder,
into 55 shares of common stock. The preferred stock is also exchangeable in
whole only, at the option of the Company, to 9% subordinated convertible notes
due October 24, 2004. The 9% subordinated notes would contain the same
conversion rights, restrictions and other terms as the preferred stock.
The Company may redeem the preferred stock, in whole or in part, after October
24, 2001 for $1,050 per share plus accrued dividends, provided that the market
price of common stock is at least 130% of the conversion price for the preferred
stock. In the event of liquidation of the Company, the holders of outstanding
preferred stock shall be entitled to receive a distribution of $1,000 per share
plus accrued dividends.
(17) LEASES
At December 31, 1998, the Company leases office space and 54 assisted-living
communities . The office lease expires in 2006 and contains two five-year
renewal options. The community leases expire from 2004 to 2017 and contain two
to six five-year renewal options.

operating leases provide for additional lease payments, computed as 5% of
gross community revenues, beginning 24 months after the inception of the
lease. In 1998, such additional rents were not significant.
(18) SALES AND ACQUISITIONS
During 1997, the Company completed several acquisitions of assisted-living,
independent-living and skilled nursing communities. These acquisitions have been
accounted for as purchases and, accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the
acquired communities were recorded at their estimated fair values at the dates
of acquisitions. No goodwill or other identifiable intangibles were recorded
with respect to any of the acquisitions. The results of operations of the
communities acquired have been included in the Company's consolidated financial
statements from the dates of the acquisition. Summary information concerning the

During 1998, the Company entered into a sale/leaseback transactions with a
REIT, pursuant to which the REIT acquired a community previously owned by the
Company and leased it back to the Company. The Company has no continuing
involvement outside of operating the community.
In 1998, the Company acquired two communities which it previously leased from a
REIT for an aggregate purchase price of $13.5 million. These acquisitions were
financed through borrowings.
In 1998 the Company sold interests in three assisted living communities for an
aggregate sales price of $25 million, including the assumption of a $14.8
million mortgage obligation and $1.8 million in notes receivable, to
partnerships in which the Company's principal shareholder is a partner and
realized cumulative gains of $475,000 which are included in other income, net.
The Company retains a management interest in each community through management
contracts and a residual economic interest in two of the communities.
In December 1998 the Company disposed of its leasehold interest in 22 leased
communities and three owned communities (the "Emeritrust communities"). The
Emeritrust communities were sold to an entity in which a principal
shareholder and a Board member of the Company are investors. Pursuant to the
transaction, the Company will manage all 25 communities in accordance with a
three year management contract and will receive management fees of 5% of
revenues currently payable as well as 2% of revenues which is contingent upon
the communities achieving positive cash flows. The management agreement
provides the Company an option to purchase the 22 previously leased
communities at a formula price and a right of first refusal on the three
previously owned communities. The management agreement further stipulates a
cash shortfall funding requirement by the Company to the extent the Emeritrust
communities generate cash deficiencies in excess of $4.5 million. Previously
deferred gains and the gain on this transaction collectively totaling
approximately $13 million have been deferred given the continuing financial
involvement of the Company stipulated in the management agreement.
(19) CONTINGENCIES
The Company is involved in legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in
the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the outcome of
these matters will not have a material effect on the Company's results of
operations or financial position.
The Company is self insured for certain employee health benefits. The Company's
policy is to accrue amounts equal to the actuarial liabilities which are based
on historical information along with certain assumptions about future events.
Changes in assumptions for such matters as health care costs and actual
experience could cause these estimates to change.
(20) SUBSEQUENT EVENT
In March 1999, the Company completed a disposition of its leasehold interests
in 19 additional communities, consisting of 14 currently operational
communities and five development communities (the "Emeritrust II
communities"). The Emeritrust II communities were sold to an entity in which
a principal shareholder and a Board member of the Company are investors.
Pursuant to the transaction, the Company will manage all 19 communities
in accordance with a three year management contract and will receive
management fees of 5% of revenues currently payable as well as 2% of revenues
which is contingent upon the communities achieving positive cash flows. The
management agreement provides the Company an option to purchase the 19
previously leased communities at a formula price. The management agreement
further stipulates a cash shortfall funding requirement by the Company to the
extent the development communities generate cash deficiencies in excess of
$2.3 million.

with, and in the following order of priority: (i) the terms of these arbitration
provisions; (ii) the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA; (iii) the Federal
Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code); and (iv) to the extent the
foregoing are inapplicable, unenforceable or invalid, the Laws of the State of
Washington. The validity and enforceability of these arbitration provision shall

<PAGE>
(b) All statutes of limitation applicable to any dispute shall apply to any

shall resolve the dispute. In such case, the arbitrator shall be required to
make specific, written findings of facts, and shall have authority to render an
award up to but not to exceed $250,000, including all amounts properly payable
and costs, fees and expenses. A dispute involving claims or amounts in

mutually agreed upon by the Members and if they are unable to mutually agree by

Members (an "Arbitration Panel"), the determination of any two of the three
arbitrators constituting the determination of the Arbitration Panel; provided,
however, that all three arbitrators on the Arbitration Panel must actively
participate in all hearings and deliberations. Arbitrators, including any
Arbitration Panel, may grant any remedy or relief deemed just and equitable and
within the scope of these arbitration provisions and may also grant such
ancillary relief as is necessary to make effective any award. Arbitration Panels
shall be required to make specific, written findings of fact and conclusions of
law. The determination of an arbitrator or Arbitration Panel shall be binding on
all Members and the Company and shall not be subject to review or appeal.
(d) To the maximum extent practicable, the AAA, the arbitrator (or the
Arbitration Panel, as appropriate) and the Members shall take any action
necessary to require that an arbitration proceeding hereunder shall be concluded
within 180 days of the filing of the dispute with the AAA. Unless the Members
shall agree otherwise, arbitration proceedings hereunder shall be conducted in
Seattle, Washington. Arbitrators shall be empowered to impose sanctions, permit
or order depositions and discovery and to take such other actions as they deem
necessary to the same extent a judge could pursuant to the Federal Rules of
Civil Procedure and applicable law. With respect to any dispute, each Member
agrees that all discovery activities shall be expressly limited to matters
directly relevant to the dispute and any arbitrator, Arbitration Panel and the
AAA shall be required to fully enforce this requirement. The provisions of these
arbitration provisions shall survive any termination, amendment or expiration of
this Agreement, unless the Members otherwise expressly agree in
31
<PAGE>
writing. To the extent permitted by applicable law, arbitrators, including any
Arbitration Panel, shall have the power to award recovery of all costs and fees
(including attorneys' fees, administrative fees and arbitrators' fees) to the
prevailing Member or, if no clear prevailing Member, as the arbitrator (or
Arbitration Panel, if applicable) shall deem just and equitable. Each Member
agrees to keep all disputes and arbitration proceedings strictly confidential,
except for disclosures of information required by applicable law.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Members have executed this Agreement as of the date

<PAGE>
ordinary repairs needed to maintain or improve the conditions of the Premises),
and within ninety (90) days of the end of such fiscal year, provide evidence
thereof satisfactory to Lender. In the event that Borrower shall fail to do so,
Borrower shall, upon Lender's written request, immediately establish and
maintain a capital expenditures reserve fund with Lender equal to the difference
between the required amount per unit and the amount per unit actually spent by
the Borrower. Borrower grants to Lender a right of setoff against all moneys in
the capital expenditures reserve fund, and Borrower shall not permit any other
lien to exist upon such fund. The proceeds of such capital expenditures reserve
fund will be disbursed upon Lender's receipt of satisfactory evidence that
Borrower has made the required capital expenditures. Upon Borrower's failure to
adequately maintain the Premises in good condition, Lender may, but shall not be
obligated to, make such capital expenditures and may apply the moneys in the
capital expenditures reserve fund for such purpose. To the extent there are
insufficient moneys in the capital expenditures reserve fund for such purposes,
all funds advanced by Lender to make such capital expenditures shall constitute
a portion of the Loan, shall be secured by the Deed of Trust and shall accrue
interest at the Default Rate (as such term is defined in the Note) until paid.
Upon an event of default, Lender may apply any moneys in the capital
expenditures reserve fund to the Loan, in such order and manner as Lender may
elect. Routine maintenance and repair expenses which are necessary to improve or
maintain the physical condition of the Premises shall count towards the capital
s expenditures requirement. For any partial fiscal year during which the Loan is
outstanding, the required expenditures amount shall be prorated by multiplying
the required amount per unit by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number
of days during such year for which all or part of the Loan is outstanding and
the denominator of which is the number of days in such year. (x) Debt Coverage
Ratio. During the first year of the Loan, the Premises shall continuously
maintain a Debt Coverage Ratio (as such term is defined in the Note) of at least
1.0 to 1. During the second year of the Loan, the Premises shall continuously
maintain a Debt Coverage Ratio of at least 1.15 to 1. During the Extension
Period (as such term is defined in the Note), the Premises shall continuously
maintain a Debt Coverage Ratio of at least 1.3 to l. Each of the foregoing shall
be measured on a "rolling" quarter basis.
(y) Debt Coverage Escrow. If Borrower fails to achieve or provide evidence of
achievement of a minimum Debt Coverage Ratio of 1.0 to l, upon the closing of
the Loan, or if such failure occurs after the closing of the Loan, then upon
fifteen (15) days written notice to Borrower, Borrower will deposit with
Lender cash or other liquid collateral in an amount which, when added to the
first number of the debt coverage ratio calculation, would have resulted in
the noncomplying debt coverage requirement having been satisfied. If such
failure continues for two (2) consecutive quarters, on the third consecutive
quarter, if Borrower again fails to achieve or provide evidence of the
achievement of the Debt Coverage Ratio of 1.0 to l, upon fifteen (I5) days
written notice to Borrower, Borrower will deposit with Lender additional cash
or other liquid collateral (with credit for amounts currently being held by
Lender pursuant to the foregoing
17
<PAGE>
sentence), in an amount which, if the same had been applied on the first day to
reduce the outstanding principal indebtedness of the Loan, would have resulted
in the noncomplying debt coverage requirement having been satisfied, and
Borrower agrees promptly to provide such additional cash or other liquid
collateral. Such additional collateral shall constitute and will be held by the
Lender in a standard custodial account, and shall constitute additional
collateral for the Loan and, upon the occurrence of an event of default, may be
applied by the Lender, in such order and manner as the Lender may elect, to the
reduction of the Loan. Borrower shall not be entitled to any interest earned on
such additional collateral, unless the escrow is over $500,000, in which event
the escrow will be deposited in a money market account. Provided that there is
no outstanding event of default, and no event has occurred which with the
passage of time or giving of notice or both would constitute an event of
default, such additional collateral which has not been applied to the Loan will
be released by the Lender at such time as Borrower provides the Lender with
evidence that the Debt Coverage Ratio of 1.0 to 1 has been achieved and
maintained (without regard to any cash deposited pursuant to this Section 4.1
(y)) for six (6) consecutive months. All amounts deposited by Borrower pursuant
to this Section 4.1(y) are referred to as "Debt Coverage Reserve Funds".
(z) Debt Service Escrow. On the date of this Agreement, Borrower shall establish
the Debt Service Reserve Funds Escrow Account (as such term is defined in the
Escrow and Security Agreement). At such time as the Premises has maintained a
Debt Coverage Ratio of at least l.25 to 1 for three (3) consecutive months and
provided no event of default or event which with the passage of time or giving
of notice, or both, would constitute an event of default has occurred, Lender
will release to Borrower the funds held in the Debt Service Reserve Funds Escrow
Account.
(aa) Repairs. Within 120 days of the date hereof, Borrower shall complete the
repairs described in Article IV of that certain Property Review Summary dated
December 1,1998 prepared by AECC, Inc. with respect to the Property.

or operation of the Premises for the purposes for which the Premises is
intended.

by it under the provisions of any of the covenants and agreements contained in
this Agreement, Lender may but shall not be obligated to perform or cause to be
performed such act or take such action or pay such money, and any expenses so

ANP OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE
GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF TEXAS (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO TEXAS' PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW),
EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT (A) OF PROCEDURAL AND SUBSTANTIVE MATTERS RELATING ONLY TO
THE CREATION. PFRFECTION. FORECLOSURE AND ENFORCEMENT OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
AGAINST THE PREMISES. WHICH MATTERS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE
OF MISSISSIPPI, AND (B) THAT THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND ANY
RULES, REGULATIONS, OR ORDERS ISSUED OR PROMULGATED THEREUNDER, APPLICABLE TO
THE AFFAIRS AND TRANSACTIONS ENTERED INTO BY LENDER OTHERWISE PREEEMPT
MISSISSIPPI OR TEXAS LAW: IN WHICH EVENT SUCH FEDERAL LAW SHALL CONTROL.
BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY
TEXAS OF FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN DALLAS, TEXAS OVER ANY SUIT, ACTION OR
PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND BORROWER
HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT. IN ADDITION TO ANY METHODS OF SERVICE OR
PROCESS PROVIDED FOR UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ALL SERVTCE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH
SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY TEXAS OR FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN DALLAS,
TEXAS MAY BE MADE BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL. RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED,
DIRECTED TO BORROWER AT THE ADDRESS OF BORROWER FOR THE GIVING OF NOTICES UNDER
SECTION 8.14 HEREOF, AND SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE COMPLETE FIVE (5) DAYS AFTER
THE SAME SHALL HAVE BEEN SO MAILED.
8.9 Supplement to Deed of Trust. The provisions of this Agreement are not
intended to supersede the provisions of the Deed of Trust but shall be construed
as supplemental thereto. In the event of any inconsistency between the
provisions hereof and the Deed of Trust, it is intended that, during the
applicability of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be controlling.
8.10 Usury. It is the intent of Lender and Borrower in the execution of the
Note, this Agreement and all other instrunents now or hereafter securing the
Note or executed in connection therewith or under any other written or oral
agreement by Borrower in favor of Lender to contract in strict compliance with
applicable usury law. In furtherance thereof, Lender and Borrower stipulate and
agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in the Note,
24
<PAGE>
this Agreement or any other instrument securing the Note or executed in
connection herewith, or in any other written or oral agreement by Borrower in
favor of Lender, shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay for the
use, forbearance or detention of money, interest at a rate in excess of the
maximum interest rate permitted to be charged by applicable law; neither
Borrower nor any Guarantor, endorsers or other parties now or hereafter becoming
liable for payment of the Note or the other indebtedness secured by the Loan
Documents shall ever be obligated or required to pay interest on the Note or on
indebtedness arising under any instrument securing the Note or executed in
connection therewith, or in any other written or oral agreement by Borrower in
favor of Lender, at a rate in excess of the maximum interest that may be
lawfully charged under applicable law; and that the provisions of this Section
shall control over all other provisions of the Note, this Agreement and any
other instruments now or hereafter securing the Note or executed in connection
herewith or any other oral or written agreements which may be in apparent
conflict herewith. Lender expressly disavows any intention to charge or collect
excessive unearned interest or finance charges in the event the maturity of the
Note is accelerated. If maturity of the Note shall be accelerated for any reason
or if the principal of the Note is paid prior to the end of the term of the
Note, and as a result thereof the interest received for the actual period of
existence of the Loan exceeds the applicable maximum lawful rate, Lender shall,
at its option, either refund to Borrower the amount of such excess or credit the
amount of such excess against the principal balance of the Note then outstanding
and thereby shall render inapplicable any and all penalties of any kind provided
by applicable law as a result of such excess interest. In the event that Lender
shall contract for, charge or receive any amounts and/or any other thing of
value which are determined to constitute interest which would increase the
effective interest rate on the Note or the other indebtedness secured by the
Loan Documents to a rate in excess of that permitted to be charged by applicable
law, an amount equal to interest in excess of the lawful rate shall, upon such
determination, at the option of Lender, be either immediately returned to
Borrower or credited against the principal balance of the Note then outstanding
or the other indebtedness secured by the Loan Documents, in which event any and
all penalties of any kind under applicable law as a result of such excess
interest shall be inapplicable. By execution of this Agreement, Borrower
acknowledges that it believes the Loan to be non-usurious and agrees that if, at
any time, Borrower should have reason to believe, that the Loan is in fact
usurious, it will give Lender notice of such condition and Borrower agrees that
Lender shall have ninety (90) days after receipt of such notice in which to make
appropriate refund or other adjustment in order to correct such condition if in
fact such exists. The term "applicable law" as used in this Section shall mean
the laws of the State of Texas or the laws of the United States, whichever laws
allow the greater rate of interest, as such law now exist or may be changed or
amended or come into effect in the future.
8.11 Invalid Provisions to Affect No Others. If fulfillment of any provision
hereof or any transaction related hereto at the time performance of such
provisions shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity
prescribed by law, then ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be
reduced to the limit of such validity; and if any clause or provisions herein
contained operates or would prospectively operate to invalidate this Agreement
in whole or in part, then such clause or provision only shall be held for
naught, as though not herein contained, and the remainder of this Agreement
shall remain operative and in full force and effect.

termination is sought.

other charge with respect to the Loan or this Note, or changes the basis of

Payee or (iii) imposes on Payee or on the interbank Euro-dollar market any
other condition affecting the Loan or this Note, or any of such extensions of

measured by the amount of (1) a category of deposits or other liabilities of
Payee which includes deposits by reference to which the LIBO Rate is determined
as provided in this Note and/or (2) a category of extensions of credit or other
assets of Payee which includes loans the interest on which is determined on the
basis of rates referred to in the definition of LIBO Rate" set forth above, (ii)
Payee becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of
liabilities or assets which it may hold or (iii) it shall be unlawful or
impractical for Payee to make or maintain the Loan (or any portion thereof at
the LIBO Based Rate, then Payee's obligation to make or maintain the Loan (or
portions thereof at the LIBO Based Rate (and Maker's right to request the same)
shall be suspended and Payee shall give notice thereof to Maker and, upon the
giving of such notice, interest payable hereunder at the LIBO Based Rate shall
be converted to the Commercial Based Rate, unless Payee may lawfully continue to
maintain the Loan (or any portion thereof then bearing interest at the LIBO
Based Rate to the end of the current Interest Period(s), at which time the
interest rate shall convert to the Commercial Based Rate. If subsequently Payee
determines that such Regulation has ceased to be in effect, Payee will so advise
Maker and Maker may convert the rate of interest payable hereunder with respect
to those portions of the Principal Amount bearing interest at the Commercial
Based Rate to the LIBO Based Rate by submitting a Euro-Dollar Rate Request in
respect thereof and otherwise complying with the provisions of this Note with
respect thereto.
Determinations by Payee of the existence or effect of any Regulation on its
costs of making or maintaining the Loan, or portions thereof, at the LIBO
Based Rate, or on amounts receivable by it in respect thereof, and of the
additional amounts required to compensate Payee in respect of Additional
Costs, shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations are made on a
reasonable basis (absent manifest error).
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, at the time of or prior
to the determination of the LIBO Based Rate in respect of any Euro-Dollar
Rate Request Amount as herein provided, Payee determines (which determination
shall be conclusive [provided that such determination is made on a reasonable
basis) absent manifest error) that (i) by reason of circumstances affecting
the interbank Euro-dollar market generally, adequate and fair means do not or
will not exist for determining the LIBO Based Rate applicable to an Interest
Period or (ii) the LIBO Rate, as determined by Payee, will not accurately
reflect the cost to Payee of making or maintaining the Loan (or any portion
thereof at the LIBO Based Rate, then Payee shall give Maker prompt notice
thereof, and the Euro-Dollar Rate Request Amount in question shall bear
interest, or continue to bear interest, as the case may be, at the Commercial
Based Rate. If at any time subsequent to the giving of such notice, Payee
determines that because of a change in circumstances the LIBO Based Rate is
again available to Maker hereunder, Payee shall so advise Maker and Maker may
convert the rate of interest payable hereunder from the Commercial Based Rate
to the LIBO Based Rate by submitting a Euro-Dollar Rate Request to Payee and
otherwise complying with the provisions of this Note with respect thereto.
Maker shall pay to Payee, immediately upon request and notwithstanding
contrary provisions contained in the Deed of Trust or other Loan Documents,
such amounts as shall, in the conclusive judgment of Payee reasonably
exercised, compensate Payee for any loss, cost or expense incurred
6
<PAGE>
by it as a result of (i) any payment or prepayment, under any circumstances
whatsoever, of any portion of the Principal Amount bearing interest at the LIBO
Based Rate on a date other than the last day of an applicable Interest Period,
(ii) the conversion, for any reason whatsoever, of the rate of interest payable
hereunder from the LIBO Based Rate to the Commercial Based Rate with respect to
any portion of the Principal Amount then bearing interest at the LIBO Based Rate
on a date other than the last day of an applicable Interest Period, (iii) the
failure due to any default by Maker of all or a portion of an advance which was
to have borne interest at the LIBO Based Rate pursuant to a Euro-Dollar Rate
Request to be made under the Loan Agreement or (iv) the failure of Maker to
borrow in accordance with a Euro-Dollar Rate Request submitted by it to Payee,
which amounts shall include, without limitation, lost profits.
Maker shall have the right to convert, from time to time, the rate of interest
payable hereunder with respect to any portion of the Principal Amount not
subject to a Euro-Dollar Rate Request, to the LIBO Based Rate or the Commercial
Based Rate, subject to the terms of this Note and provided that, in the case of
a conversion from the LIBO Based Rate, the entire amount of the particular
Euro-Dollar Amount is the subject of the conversion.
Maker shall have the right to prepay this Note, in whole or in part, without
premium or penalty (subject, however, to the provisions of this Note) upon
written notice thereof given to Payee in accordance with the notice
provisions of the Loan Agreement at least fifteen (15) days priority to the
date to be fixed therein for prepayment, and upon the payment of all accrued
interest on the amount prepaid (and any interest which has accrued at the
Default Rate and other sums that may be payable hereunder) to the date so
fixed and any Additional Costs attributable to any Euro-Dollar Amount prepaid.
Any portion of the Principal Amount to which the LIBO Based Rate is not or
cannot pursuant to the terms hereof be applicable shall bear interest at the
Commercial Based Rate.
Interest on the Principal Amount (whether computed at the Commercial Based
Rate or the LIBO Based Rate) shall be payable monthly on the first day of the
first month following the first advance of Loan proceeds which are evidenced
hereby and on the first day of each month thereafter until this Note is
repaid in full or until the Maturity Date or the expiration of the Extension
Period, as the case may be, on which date the Principal Amount and accrued
interest shall be due and payable.
Maker shall have the right and option to extend the Maturity Date to a date
ending upon the expiration of the Extension Period, such extension being
subject to the conditions that:
(i) Maker shall have notified Payee in writing of its exercise of such extension
at least thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date;
(ii) on the date of such written notice and on the date of commencement of the
Extension Period, there shall exist no default or event of default (as
respectively defined in the Deed of Trust and the Loan Agreement) and no event
shall have occurred which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or
both would constitute a default or event of default;
7
<PAGE>
(iii) such written notice given pursuant to clause (i) above shall be
accompanied by a fee in the amount of one-fourth percent (.25%) of the stated
principal of this Note;
(iv) at or before the commencement of the Extension Period, Maker shall deliver
to the Payee evidence satisfactory to Payee that the operation of the Mortgaged
Property has achieved a Debt Coverage Ratio of 1.30 to 1 for a period of three
(3) consecutive months prior to the beginning of the Extension Period; and
(v) Maker (and any guarantor) shall have executed such documents as Payee deems
reasonably appropriate to evidence such extension and shall have delivered to
Payee an endorsement to the mortgagee policy of title insurance insuring the
lien of the Deed of Trust, stating that the coverage of such policy has not been
reduced or terminated by virtue of such extension.
Commencing on the first day of the month following commencement of the Extension
Period and on the first day of each month thereafter during the Extension
Period, Maker shall pay an installment of principal on the Principal Amount
equal to $18,667.00, which installment is in addition to accrued interest due on
each such date. All payments of principal shall be credited first against
principal amounts bearing interest at the Commercial Based Rate and then toward
the payment of Euro-Dollar Amounts. Payments of Euro-Dollar Amounts shall be
applied in such manner as Maker shall select; provided, however, that Maker
shall select Euro-Dollar Amounts to be repaid in a manner designed to minimize
any losses incurred by virtue of such payment. If Maker shall fail to select the
EuroDollar Amounts to which such payments are to be applied, or if an event
ofdefault has occurred and is continuing at the time of payment, then Payee
shall be entitled to apply the payment to such Euro-Dollar Amounts in the manner
it deems appropriate. Maker shall compensate Payee for any losses incurred by
virtue of any payment of those portions of the Loan accruing interest at the
LIBO Based Rate prior to the last day of the relevant Interest Period, which
compensation shall be determined in accordance with the provisions set forth in
this Note, and any payment received pursuant to this paragraph shall be applied
first to losses incurred by Payee by reason of such payment.
If a default shall occur under the Deed of Trust, interest on the Principal
Amount shall, at the option of Payee, immediately and without notice to Maker,
be converted to the Commercial Based Rate. The foregoing provision shall not be
construed as a waiver by Payee of its right to pursue any other remedies
available to it under the Deed of Trust or any other instrument evidencing or
securing the Loan, nor shall it be construed to limit in any way the application
of the Default Rate.
Maker hereby agrees that it shall be bound by any agreement extending the time
or modifying the above terms of payment, made by Payee and the owner or owners
of the Mortgaged Property, whether with or without notice to Maker, and Maker
shall continue to be liable to pay the amount due hereunder, but with interest
at a rate no greater than the LIBO Based Rate or the Commercial Based Rate, as
the case may be, according to the terms of any such agreement of extension or
modification.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, at the option
of the holder of this Note and upon notice to the undersigned at any time after
the occurrence of a default as
8
<PAGE>
defined in the Deed of Trust, from and after such notice and during the
continuance of such default, the unpaid principal of this Note from time to time
outstanding and all past due installments of interest shall, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, bear interest at the Default Rate, provided that in
no event shall such interest rate be more than the Maximum Rate.
All interest accruing under this Note shall be calculated on the basis of a
360-day year applied to the actual number of days in each month. The undersigned
shall make each payment which it owes hereunder not later than twelve o clock,
noon, Dallas, Texas time, on the date such payment becomes due and payable (or
the date any voluntary prepayment is made), in immediately available funds. Any
payment received by the Payee after such time will be deemed to have been made
on the next following business day. As used herein, the term "business day"
shall mean a day on which commercial banks are open for business with the public
in Dallas, Texas.
This Note has been executed and delivered pursuant to the Loan Agreement between
Maker and Payee.
This Note is secured, inter alia, by the Deed of Trust, evidencing a lien on
certain real property in Madison County, Mississippi, described therein, and
evidencing a security interest in certain personal property described therein,
to which Deed of Trust reference is here made for a description of the property
covered thereby and the nature and extent of the security and the rights and
powers of the holder of this Note in respect of such security. In addition, the
Maker has made an Assignment of Leases and Rents covering certain leases and
rents described therein to provide a source of future payment of this Note,
reference to which Assignment of Leases and Rents is here made for a description
of the leases and rents covered thereby and the rights and powers of the Payee
with respect thereto. Upon the occurrence of a default specified in the Deed of
Trust which remains uncured beyond any applicable notice, cure or grace period,
the holder of this Note or any part thereof shall have the option of declaring
the Principal Amount hereof and the interest accrued hereon to be immediately
due and payable.
It is the intent of Payee of this Note and Maker in the execution of this Note
and all other instruments now or hereafter securing this Note to contract in
strict compliance with applicable usury law. In furtherance thereof, Payee and
Maker stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in
this Note, or in any other instrument executed in connection herewith, shall
ever be construed to create a contract to pay for the use, forbearance or
detention of money, interest at a rate in excess of the Maximum Rate; that
neither Maker nor any guarantors, endorsers or other parties now or hereafter
becoming liable for payment of this Note shall ever be obligated or required to
pay interest on this Note at a rate in excess of the Maximum Rate that may be
lawfully charged under applicable law; and that the provisions of this paragraph
shall control over all other provisions of this Note and any other instruments
now or hereafter executed in connection herewith which may be in apparent
conflict herewith. Payee, including each holder of this Note, expressly disavows
any intention to charge or collect excessive unearned interest or finance
charges in the event the maturity of this Note is accelerated. If the maturity
of this Note shall be accelerated for any reason or if the principal of this
Note is paid prior to the end of the term of this Note, and as a result thereof
the interest received for the actual period of existence of the Loan exceeds the
amount of interest that would have accrued at the Maximum Rate, the holder of
this Note shall, at its option, either refund
9
<PAGE>
to Maker the amount of such excess or credit the amount of such excess against
the Principal Amount and thereby shall render inapplicable any and all penalties
of any kind provided by applicable law as a result of such excess interest. In
the event that Payee or any other holder of this Note shall contract for, charge
or receive any amounts and/or any other thing of value which are determined to
constitute interest which would increase the effective interest rate on this
Note to a rate in excess of that permitted to be charged by applicable law, all
such sums determined to constitute interest in excess of the amount of interest
at the lawful rate shall, upon such determination, at the option of the holder
of this Note, be either immediately returned to Maker or credited against the
Principal Amount, in which event any and all penalties of any kind under
applicable law as a result of such excess interest shall be inapplicable. By
execution of this Note Maker acknowledges that it believes the Loan evidenced by
this Note to be non-usurious and agrees that if, at any time, Maker should have
reason to believe that the Loan is in fact usurious, it will give the holder of
this Note notice of such condition and Maker agrees that said holder shall have
ninety (90) days in which to make appropriate refund or other adjustment in
order to correct such condition if in fact such exists. The term "applicable
law" as used in this Note shall mean the laws of the State of Texas or the laws
of the United States, whichever laws allow the greater rate of interest, as such
laws now exist or may be changed or amended or come into effect in the future.
Should the indebtedness represented by this Note or any part thereof be
collected at law or in equity or through any bankruptcy, receivership, probate
or other court proceedings or if this Note is placed in the hands of attorneys
for collection after default, Maker and all endorsers, guarantors and sureties
of this Note jointly and severally agree to pay to the holder of this Note in
addition to the principal and interest due and payable hereon reasonable
attorneys' and collection fees.
Maker and all endorsers, guarantors and sureties of this Note and all other
persons liable or to become liable on this Note severally waive presentment for
payment, demand, notice of demand and of dishonor and nonpayment of this Note,
notice of intention to accelerate the maturity of this Note, protest and notice
of protest, diligence in collecting, and the bringing of suit against any other
party, and agree to all renewals, extensions, modifications, partial payments,
releases or substitutions of security, in whole or in part, with or without
notice, before or
10

after maturity.

Guarantor); (i) Guarantor is or becomes liable for any indebtedness owing by
Debtor to Creditor other than under this Guaranty; or (j) any impairment,
modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of, or stay of
actions or lien enforcement proceedings against, Debtor, its property, or its
estate in bankruptcy resulting from the operation of any present or future
provision o t-the Federal Bankruptcy Code (hereinafter called the "Bankruptcy
Code") or other similar Federal or state statute, or from the decision of any
court.
Except for any requirements of applicable law that cannot validly be waived by
Guarantor, Creditor shall not be required to pursue any other remedies before
invoking the benefits of the guaranties contained herein, and specifically it
shall not be required to make demand upon or institute suit or otherwise pursue
its remedies against Debtor or any surety other than Guarantor or to proceed
against or give credit for any security now or hereafter existing for the
payment of any of the Indebtedness. Creditor may maintain an action on this
Guaranty without joining Debtor therein and without bringing a separate action
against Debtor.
If for any reason whatsoever other than payment and performance (including but
not limited to ultra vires, lack of authority, illegality, force majeure, act of
God or impossibility) the Indebtedness or the Obligations cannot be enforced
against Debtor, such unenforceability shall in no manner affect the liability of
Guarantor hereunder and Guarantor shall be liable hereunder notwithstanding that
Debtor may not be liable for such Indebtedness or such Obligations and to the
same extent as Guarantor would have been liable if such Indebtedness or
Obligations had been enforceable against Debtor.
Guarantor absolutely and unconditionally covenants and agrees that in the event
that Debtor does not or is unable so to pay the Indebtedness or perform the
Obligations for any reason, including, without limitation, liquidation,
dissolution, receivership, conservatorship, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment
for the benefit of creditors, sale of all or substantially all assets,
reorganization, arrangement, composition, or readjustment of, or other similar
proceedings affecting the status, composition, identity, existence, assets or
obligations of Debtor, or the disaffirmance or termination of any of the
Indebtedness or Obligations in or as a result of any such proceeding, Guarantor
shall pay the Indebtedness and perform the Obligations and no such occurrence
shall in any way affect Guarantor's obligations hereunder.
Should the status of Debtor change, this Guaranty shall continue and also cover
the lndebtedness and Obligations of Debtor under the new status according to the
terms hereof.
In the event any payment by Debtor to Creditor is held to constitute a
preference under the bankruptcy laws, or if for any other reason Creditor is
required to refund such payment or pay the amount thereof to any other party,
such payment by Debtor to Creditor shall not constitute a release o f Guarantor
from any liability hereunder, but Guarantor agrees to pay such amount to
Creditor upon demand and this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall
be reinstated, as the case may be, to the extent of any such payment or
payments.

Except for any requirements of applicable law that cannot validly be waived by
Guarantor, Guarantor agrees that it shall not have (a) the right to the benefit
of, or to direct the application of, any security held by Creditor (including
the property covered by the Deed of Trust and- any other instrument securing the
payment of the Note), any right to enforce any remedy which Creditor now has or
hereafter may have against Debtor, or any right to participate in any security
now or hereafter held by Creditor, or (b) any defense arising out of the
absence, impairment or loss of any right of reimbursement or subrogation or
other right or remedy of Guarantor against Debtor or against any security
resulting from the exercise or election of any remedies by Creditor (including
the exercise of the power of sale under the Deed of Trust), or any defense
arising by reason of any disability or other defense of Debtor or by reason of
the cessation, from any cause, of the liability of Debtor.
The payment by Guarantor of any amount pursuant to this Guaranty shall not in
any way entitle Guarantor to any right, title or interest (whether by way of
subrogation or otherwise) in and to any of the Indebtedness or any proceeds
thereof, or any security therefor, unless and until the full amount owing to
Creditor on the Indebtedness has been fully paid, but when the same has been
fully paid Guarantor shall be subrogated as to any payments made by it to the
rights of Creditor as against Debtor and/or any endorsers, sureties or other
guarantors.
Guarantor expressly subordinates its rights to payment of any indebtedness owing
from Debtor to Guarantor, whether now existing or arising at any time in the
future, to the prior right of Creditor to receive or require payment in full of
the Indebtedness and until payment in full of the Indebtedness (and including
interest accruing on the Note after any petition under the Bankruptcy Code,
which post-petition interest Guarantor agrees shall remain a claim that is prior
and superior to any claim of Guarantor notwithstanding any contrary practice,
custom or ruling in proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code generally), Guarantor
agrees not to accept any payment or satisfaction of any kind of indebtedness of
Debtor to Guarantor or any security for such indebtedness. If Guarantor should
receive any such payment, satisfaction or security for any indebtedness of
Debtor to Guarantor, Guarantor agrees forthwith to deliver the same to Creditor
in the form received, endorsed or assigned as may be appropriate for application
on account of, or as security for, the Indebtedness and until so delivered,
agrees to hold the same in trust for Creditor.
Notwithstanding anything to the apparent contrary contained herein, Guarantor
does not herein expressly or impliedly waive or release any rights of
subrogation that Guarantor may have against Debtor (except as same are expressly
subordinated as provided herein), rights of contribution that Guarantor may have
against any other guarantor of, or other person secondarily liable for, the
payment of the Indebtedness or performance of the Obligations or rights of
reimbursement that Guarantor may have as against Debtor (except as same may be
limited herein).
It is the intent of Guarantor and Creditor in the execution and acceptance of
this Guaranty to contract in strict compliance with applicable usury law. In
furtherance thereof, Guarantor and Creditor stipulate and agree that none of the
terms and provisions contained in this Guaranty, or in any other instrument now
or hereafter executed in connection herewith, shall ever be construed to create
a contract to pay for the use, forbearance or detention of money, interest at a
rate in excess of
- - 4 -
<PAGE>
the maximum interest rate permitted to be charged by applicable law; Guarantor
shall never be obligated or required to pay interest on the Indebtedness at a
rate in excess of the maximum interest that may be lawfully charged under
applicable law; and that the provisions of this paragraph shall control over all
other provisions of this Guaranty, and any other instruments now or hereafter
executed in connection herewith or any other oral or written agreement which may
be in apparent conflict herewith. Creditor expressly disavows any intention to
charge or collect excessive unearned interest or finance charges in the event
the maturity of the Indebtedness is accelerated. If the maturity of the Note
shall be accelerated for any reason or if the principal of the Note is paid
prior to the end of the term of the Note, and as a result thereof the interest
received from Guarantor for the actual period of existence of the loan evidenced
by the Note exceeds the amount of interest at the applicable maximum lawful rate
under applicable law, Creditor shall, at its option, either refund to Guarantor
the amount of such excess or credit the amount of such excess against the
principal balance of the Note then outstanding and thereby shall render
inapplicable any and all penalties of any kind provided by applicable law as a
result of such excess interest. In the event that Creditor shall contract for,
charge or receive any amount or amounts and/or any other thing of value from
Guarantor which are determined to constitute interest which would increase the
effective interest rate on the Indebtedness to a rate in excess of that
permitted to be charged by applicable law, all such amounts determined to
constitute interest in excess of the lawful rate shall, upon such determination,
at the option of Creditor, be either immediately returned to Guarantor or
credited against the principal balance of the Note then outstanding, in which
event any and all penalties of ary kind under applicable law as a result of such
excess interest shall be inapplicable. By execution of this Guaranty, Guarantor
acknowledges that Guarantor believes the Indebtedness to be non-usurious and
agrees that if, at any time, Guarantor should have reason to believe that the
Indebtedness is in fact usurious, Guarantor will give Creditor notice of such
condition and Guarantor agrees that Creditor shall have ninety (90) days in
which to make appropriate refund or other adjustment in order to correct such
condition if in fact such exists. The term "applicable law" as used in this
paragraph shall mean the laws of the State of Texas or the laws of the United
States, whichever laws allow the greater rate of interest, as such laws now
exist or may be changed or amended or come into effect in the future.
Guarantor hereby represents, warrants and covenants to and with Creditor as
follows: (a) Guarantor is solvent, is not bankrupt and has no outstanding liens,
garnishments, bankruptcies or court actions which could render guarantor
insolvent or bankrupt, and there has not been filed by or against Guarantor a
petition in bankruptcy or a petition or answer seeking an assignment for the
benefit of creditors, the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or
liquidator with respect to Guarantor or any substantial portion of Guarantor's
property, reorganization, arrangement, rearrangement, composition, extension,
liquidation or dissolution or similar relief under the Bankruptcy Code or any
state law; (b) all reports, financial statements and other financial and other
data which have been or may hereafter be furnished by Guarantor to Creditor in
connection with this Guaranty are or shall be true and correct in all material
respects and do not and will not omit to state any fact or circumstance
necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading and do or
shall fairly represent the financial condition of Guarantor as of the dates and
the results of Guarantor's operations for the periods for which the same are
furnished, and no material adverse
- - 5 -
<PAGE>
change has occurred since the dates of such reports, statements and other data
in the financial condition of Guarantor; (c) the execution, delivery and
performance of the Guaranty do not contravene, result in the breach of or
constitute a default under any mortgage, deed of trust, lease, promissory note,
loan agreement or other contract or agreement to which Guarantor is a party or
by which Guarantor or any of its properties may be bound or affected and do not
violate or contravene any law, order, decree, rule or regulation to which
Guarantor is subject; (d) there are no judicial or administrative actions, suits
or proceedings pending or, to the best of Guarantor's knowledge, threatened
against or affecting Guarantor or involving the validity, enforceability or
priority of this Guaranty; (e) Guarantor is duly incorporated and legally
existing under the laws of the state of its incorporation; (this Guaranty
constitutes 'he legal, valid and binding obligation of Guarantor enforceable in
accordance with its terms; and (g) the execution and delivery of, and
performance under, this Guaranty are within Guarantor's powers and have been
duly authorized by all requisite action and are not in contravention of the
powers of Guarantor's charter, by-laws or other corporate papers.
Guarantor will deliver to Creditor within ninety (90) days after the close of
each fiscal year of Guarantor: (a) a statement of condition or balance sheet of
Guarantor as at the end of such fiscal year; (b) an annual operating statement
showing in reasonable detail all income and expenses of Guarantor for such
fiscal year; (c) a cash flow statement showing in reasonable detail all cash
flow of Guarantor for such fiscal year; and (d) a projected cash flow statement
showing in reasonable detail all projected cash flow, for the then current
fiscal year. Al1 of the foregoing shall be in scope and detail satisfactory to
Creditor and any or all of the foregoing shall be furnished quarterly, in
addition to annually, upon request of Creditor. The statements in (a), (b) and
(c) above shall be certified as to accuracy by an independent certified public
accountant or, with the consent of Creditor, by a representative of Guarantor
acceptable to Creditor. The statement described in (d) above shall contain a
representation or certification in form satisfactory to Creditor from a
representative of Guarantor acceptable to Creditor.
Where two or more persons or entities have executed this Guaranty, unless the
context clearly indicates otherwise, all references herein to "Guarantor" shall
mean the guarantors hereunder or either or any of them. All of the obligations
and liability of said guarantors hereunder shall be joint and several. Suit may
be brought against said guarantors, jointly and severally, or against any one or
more of them, less than all, without impairing the rights of Creditor against
the other or others of said guarantors; and Creditor may compound with any one
or more of said guarantors for such sums or sum as it may see fit and/or release
such of said guarantors from all further liability to Creditor for such
indebtedness without impairing the right of Creditor to demand and collect the
balance of such indebtedness from the other or others of said guarantors not so
compounded with or released; but it is agreed among said guarantors themselves,
however, that such compounding and release shall in nowise impair the rights of
said guarantors as among themselves.
The rights of Creditor are cumulative and shall not be exhausted by its exercise
of any of its rights hereunder or otherwise against Guarantor or by any number
of successive actions until and unless all Indebtedness has been paid, all
Obligations have been performed and each of the
- - 6 -
<PAGE>
obligations of Guarantor hereunder has been performed. The existence of this
Guaranty shall not in any way diminish or discharge the rights of Creditor under
any prior or future guaranty agreement executed by Guarantor.
All property of Guarantor now or hereafter in the possession or custody of or in
transit to Creditor for any purpose, including safekeeping, collection or
pledge, for the account of Guarantor, or as to which Guarantor may have any
right or power, shall be held by Creditor subject to a lien and security
interest in favor of Creditor to secure payment and performance of all
obligations and liabilities of Guarantor to Creditor hereunder. The balance of
every account of Guarantor with, and each claim of Guarantor against, Creditor
existing from time to time shall be subject to a lien and subject to set-off
against any and all liabilities of Guarantor to Creditor, and Creditor may, at
any time and from time to time at its option and without notice, appropriate and
apply toward the payment of any of such liabilities the balance of each such
account or claim of Guarantor against Creditor.
Any notice or communication required or permitted hereunder shall be given in
writing, sent by (a) personal delivery, or (b) expedited delivery service with
proof of delivery, or (c) United States mail, postage prepaid, registered or
certified mail, or (d) prepaid telegram, telex or telecopy, sent to the intended

of personal delivery or, in the case of delivery service or mail, as of the date
of first attempted delivery at the address and in the manner provided herein, or
in the case of telegram, telex or telecopy, upon receipt.

RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCURDANCE WITH, THE LAWS
OF THE STATE OF TEXAS (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO TEXAS' PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS
OF LAW) AND THE LAW OF THE UNITED STATES APPLICABLE TO TRANSACTIONS IN SUCH

<PAGE>

statement shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP, and shall include a balance
sheet and statement of income and expenses for the year then ended. Lender

statements of Borrower.
(ii) Once each month within thirty (30) days after month end , unaudited
monthly financial statements of the operations of the premises, prepared in
accordance with GAAP, which statements shall include a balance sheet and
statement of income and expenses for the month then ended, together with a
rent roll of the Premises as of the end of such month, certified by a

information shall be provided in the format utilized by Borrower and
certified by a representative of the Borrower to be true and correct.

(iv) The financial statements required under this Agreement shall be
accompanied by a Certificate Accompanying Financial Statements in the form
attached hereto as Schedule II.
(v) The Lender further reserves the right to require such other financial
information of Borrower, the Guarantor, Manager and/or the Premises, in such
form and at such other times (including monthly or more frequently) as Lender
reasonably shall deem necessary, and Borrower agrees promptly to provide or
to cause to be provided, such information to Lender. All financial statements
must be in the form and detail as Lender may from time to time reasonably
request.
(w) Capital Improvements. Borrower shall make minimum annual capital
expenditures (or maintain a reserve for such expenditures) for the Premises
in each fiscal year, in the amount of S?0.00 per unit (which such capital
expenditures may include ordinary repairs needed to maintain or improve the
conditions of the Premises), and within ninety (90) days of the end of such
fiscal year provide evidence thereof satisfactory to Lender. In the event the
Borrower shall fail to do so, Borrower shall, upon Lender's written request,
immediately establish and maintain a capital expenditures reserve fund with
Lender equal to the difference between the required amount per unit and the
amount per unit actually spent by the Borrower. Borrower grants to Lender a
right of setoff against all moneys in the capital expenditures reserve fund,
and Borrower shall not permit any other lien to exist upon such fund. The
proceeds of such capital
16
<PAGE>
expenditures reserve fund will be disbursed upon Lender's receipt of
satisfactory evidence that Borrower has made the required capital expenditures.
Upon Borrower's failure to adequately maintain the Premises in good condition,
Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, make such capital expenditures and
may apply the moneys in the capital expenditures reserve fund for such purpose.
To the extent there are insufficient moneys in the capital expenditures reserve
fund for such purposes, all funds advanced by Lender to make such capital
expenditures shall constitute a portion of the Loan, shall be secured by the
Deed of Trust and shall accrue interest at the Default Rat (as such term is
defined in the Note) until paid. Upon an event of default, Lender may apply any
moneys in the capital expenditures reserve fund to the Loan, in such order and
manner as Lender may elect. Routine maintenance and repair expenses which are
necessary to improve or maintain the physical condition of the Premises shall
count towards the capital expenditures requirement. For any partial fiscal year
during which the Loan is outstanding, the required expenditure amount shall be
prorated by multiplying the required amount per unit by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of days during such year for which all or part
of the Loan is outstanding and the denominator of which is the number of days in
such year.
(x) Debt Coverage Ratio. During the first year of the Loan, the Premises shall
continuously maintain a Debt Coverage Ratio (as such term is defined in the
Note). During the second year of the Loan, the Premisis shall continuously
maintain a Debt Coverage Ratio of at least 1.1 to 1. During the Extension Period
(as such term is defined in the Note), the Premises shall continuously maintain
a Debt Coverage Ratio of at least 1.3 to 1. Each of the foregoing shall be
measured on a "rolling" quarter basis.
(y) Debt Coverage Escrow. If Borrower fails to achieve or provide evidence of
achievement of a minimum Debt Coverage Ratio of 1.0 to 1, upon the closing of
the Loan, or if such failure occurs after the closing of the Loan, then upon
fifteen (l5) days written notice to Borrower, Borrower will deposit with Lender
cash or other liquid collateral in an amount which, when added to the first
number of the debt coverage ratio calculation, would have resulted in the
noncomplying debt coverage requirement having been satisfied. If such failure
continues for two (2) consecutive quarters, on the third consecutive quarter, if
Borrower again fails to achieve or provide evidence of the achievement of the
Debt Coverage Ratio of 1.0 to 1, upon fifteen (l5) days written notice to
Borrower, Borrower will deposit with Lender additional cash or other liquid
collateral (with credit for amounts currently being held by Lender pursuant to
the foregoing sentence), in an amount which, if the same had been applied on the
first day to reduce the outstanding principal indebtedness of the Loan, would
have resulted in the noncomplying debt coverage requirement having been
satisfied, and Borrower agrees promptly to provide such additional cash or other
liquid collateral. Such additional collateral shall constitute and will be held
by the Lender in a standard custodial account, and shall constitute additional
collateral for the Loan and. upon the occurrence of an event of default, may be
applied by the Lender, in such order and manner as the Lender may elect, to the
reduction of the Loan. Borrower shall not be entitled to any interest earned on
such
17
<PAGE>
additional collateral, unless the escrow is over $500,000, in which event
the escrow will be deposited in a money market account. Provided that there is
no outstanding event of default and no event has occurred which with the passage
of time or giving of notice or both would constitute an event of default, such
additional collateral which has not been applied to the Loan will be released by
the Lender at such time as Borrower provides the Lender with evidence that the
Debt Coverage Ratio of 1.0 to 1 has been achieved and maintained (without regard
to any cash deposited pursuant to this Section 4.1(y)) for si1 (6) consecutive
months. All amounts deposited by Borrower pursuant to this Section 4. I (y) are
referred to as "Debt Coverage Reserve Funds".
(z) Debt Service Escrow. On the date of this Agreement, Borrower shall establish
the Debt Service Reserve Funds Escrow Account (as such term is defined in the
Escrow and Security Agreement). At such time as the Premises has maintained a
Debt Coverage Ratio of at least 1.5 to 1 for three (3) consecutive months and
provided no event of default or event which with the passed of time or giving of
notice, or both, would constitute an event of default has occurred, Lender will
release to Borrower the funds held in the Debt Service Reserve Funds Escrow
Account.
(aa) Intentionally Omitted.
(bb) Licenses. To the extent within the Borrower's control. Borrower will not
allow any breach, withdrawal, rating reduction, restriction, suspension,
probation, failure to renew, cancellation, rescission, termination, lapse or
forfeiture of any License, permit, right, franchise or privilege necessary for
the ownership or operation of the Premises for the purposes for which the
Premises is intended.
(cc) Agreements. To the extent within Borrower's control, Borrower will not
allow any breach, withdrawal, restriction, suspension, probation, failure to
renew, cancellation, rescission, termination, lapse, alteration, forfeiture or
modification of any material Participation Agreement or any material Operating

amend or terminate any material License or consent to a waiver of, or waive, any
material provisions thereof or amend or terminate or agree to amend or

AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE
GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH. THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF TEXAS WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO TEXAS PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW.
EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT (A) OF PROCEDURAL AND SUBSTANTIVE MATTERS RELATING ONLY TO
THE CREATION, PERFECTION, FORECLOSURE AND ENFORCEMENT OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
AGAINST THE PREMISIS, WHICH MATTERS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE
OF WASHINGTON, AND (B) THAT THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND ANY
RULES, REGULATIONS, OR ORDERS ISSUED OR PROMULGATED THEREUNDER. APPLICABLE TO
THE AFFAIRS AND TRANSACTIONS ENTERED INTO BY LENDER. OTHERWISE PREEMPT
WASHINGTON OR TEXAS LAW; IN WHICH EVENT SUCH FEDERAL LAW SHALL CONTROL. BORROWER
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY TEXAS OR
FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN DALLAS TEXAS OVER ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND BORROWER HEREBY
AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT, IN ADDITION TO ANY METHODS OF
23
<PAGE>
SERVICE OF PROCESS PROVIDED FOR UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ALL SERVICE OF PROCESS IN
ANY SUCH SUIT ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY TEXAS OR FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN
DALLAS, TEXAS MAY BE MADE BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL. RETURN RECEIPT

DAYS AFTER THE SAME SHALL HAVE BEEN SO MAILED.
8.9 Supplement to Deed of Trust. The provisions of this Agreement are not
intended to supersede the provisions of the Deed of Trust but shall be construed
as supplemental thereto. In the event of any inconsistency between the
provisions hereof and the Deed of Trust, it is intended that, during the
applicability of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be controlling.
8.10 Usury. It is the intent of Lender and Borrower in the execution of the
Note, this Agreement and all other instruments now or hereafter securing the
Note or executed in connection therewith or under any other written or oral
agreement by Borrower in favor of Lender to contract in strict compliance with
applicable usury law. In furtherance thereof, Lender and Borrower stipulate and
agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in the Note, this
Agreement or any other instrument securing the Note or executed in connection
herewith, or in any other written or oral agreement by Borrower in favor of
Lender, shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay for the use,
forbearance or detention of money interest at a rate in excess of the maximum
interest rate permitted to be charged by applicable law: neither Borrower nor
any Guarantor, endorsers or other parties now or hereafter becoming liable for
payment of the Note or the other indebtedness secured by the Loan Documents
shall ever be obligated or required to pay interest on the Note or on
indebtedness arising under any instrument securing the Note or executed in
connection therewith, or in any other written or oral agreement by Borrower in
favor of Lender, at a rate in excess of the maximum interest that may be
lawfully charged under applicable law; and that the provisions of this Section
shall control over all other provisions of the Note, this Agreement and any
other instruments now or hereafter securing the Note or executed in connection
herewith or any other oral or written agreements which may be in apparent
conflict herewith. Lender expressly disavows any intention to charge or collect
excessive unearned interest or finance charges in the event the maturity of the
Note is accelerated. If maturity of the Note shall be accelerated for any reason
or if the principal of the Note is paid prior to the end of the term of the
Note, and as a result thereof the interest received for the actual period of
existence of the Loan exceeds the applicable maximum lawful rate, Lender shall,
at its option, either refund to Borrower the amount of such excess or credit the
amount of such excess against the principal balance of the Note then outstanding
and thereby shall render inapplicable any and a11 penalties of any kind provided
by applicable law as a result of such excess interest. In the event that Lender
shall contract for, charge or receive any amounts and/or any other thing of
value which are determined to constitute interest which would increase the
effective interest rate on the Note or the other indebtedness secured by the
Loan Documents to a rate in excess of that permitted to be charged by applicable
law, an amount equal to interest in excess of the lawful rate shall, upon such
determination, at the option of Lender, be either immediately returned to
Borrower or credited against the principal balance of the Note then outstanding
or the other indebtedness secured by the Loan Documents. in which event any and
24
<PAGE>
all penalties of any kind under applicable law as a result of such excess
interest shall be inapplicable. By execution of this Agreement, Borrower
acknowledges that it believes the Loan to be non-usurious and agrees that if, at
any time, Borrower should have reason to believe, that the Loan is in fact
usurious, it will give Lender notice of such condition and Borrower agrees that
Lender shall have ninety (90) days after receipt of such notice in which to make
appropriate refund or other adjustment in order to correct such condition if in
fact such exists. The term "applicable law" as used in this Section shall mean
the laws of the State of Texas or the laws of the United States, whichever laws
allow the greater rate of interest, as such laws now exist or may be changed or
amended or come into effect in the future.
8.11 Invalid Provisions to Affect No Others. If fulfillment of any provision
hereto for any transaction related hereto at the time performance of such
provisions shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity
prescribed by law, then ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be
reduced to the limit of such validity; and if any clause or provisions herein
contained operates or would prospectively operate to invalidate this
Agreement in whole or in part, then such clause or provision only shall be
held for naught, as though not herein contained, and the remainder of this
Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect.
8.12 Number and Gender. Whenever the singular or plural number, masculine or
feminine or neuter gender is used herein, it shall equally include the other.
8.13 Amendments. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be changed,
waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing
signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or
termination is sought.

be 5iven in writing, sent by (a) personal delivery, or (b) expedited delivery

in, or to defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the rights or
duties of the parties hereunder or the payment of any funds, and in connection

trustees of a real estate investment trust assignee shall be personally liable
for the obligations of such trust and Borrower will agree to look solely to the
trust property for the payment of any claim hereunder.

Payee becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of
liabilities or assets which it may hold or (iii) it shall be unlawful or
impractical for Payee to make or maintain the Loan (or any portion thereof at
the LIBO Based Rate, then Payee's obligation to make or maintain the Loan (or
portions thereof at the LIBO Based Rate (and Maker's right to request the same)
shall be suspended and Payee shall give notice thereof to Maker and, upon the
giving of such notice, interest payable hereunder at the LIBO Based Rate shall
be converted to the Commercial Based Rate, unless Payee may lawfully continue to
maintain the Loan (or any portion thereof then bearing interest at the LIBO
Based Rate to the end of the current Interest Period(s), at which time the
interest rate shall convert to the Commercial Based Rate. If subsequently Payee
determines that such Regulation has ceased to be in effect, Payee will so advise
Maker and Maker may convert the rate of interest payable hereunder with respect
to those portions of the Principal Amount bearing interest at the Commercial
Based Rate to the LIBO Based Rate by submitting a Euro-Dollar Rate Request in

respect thereto.

costs of making or maintaining the Loan, or portions thereof, at the LIBO Based
Rate, or on amounts receivable by it in respect thereof, and of the additional
amounts required to compensate Payee in respect of Additional Costs, shall be
conclusive, provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis
(absent manifest error).

the determination of the LIBO Based Rate in respect of any Euro-Dollar Rate
Request Amount as herein provided, Payee determines (which determination shall
be conclusive [provided that such determination is made on a reasonable basis)
absent manifest error) that (i) by reason of circumstances affecting the
interbank Euro-dollar market generally, adequate and fair means do not or will
not exist for determining the LIBO Based Rate applicable to an Interest Period
or (ii) the LIBO Rate, as determined by Payee, will not accurately reflect the
cost to Payee of making or maintaining the Loan (or any portion thereof at the
LIBO Based Rate, then Payee shall give Maker prompt notice thereof, and the
Euro-Dollar Rate Request Amount in question shall bear interest, or continue to
bear interest, as the case may be, at the Commercial Based Rate. If at any time
subsequent to the giving of such notice, Payee determines that because of a
change in circumstances the LIBO Based Rate is again available to Maker
hereunder, Payee shall so advise Maker and Maker may convert the rate of
interest payable hereunder from the Commercial Based Rate to the LIBO Based Rate
by submitting a Euro-Dollar Rate Request to Payee and otherwise complying with
the provisions of this Note with respect thereto.
Maker shall pay to Payee, immediately upon request and notwithstanding contrary
provisions contained in the Deed of Trust or other Loan Documents, such amounts
as shall, in the conclusive judgment of Payee reasonably exercised, compensate
Payee for any loss, cost or expense incurred

by it as a result of (i) any payment or prepayment, under any circumstances
whatsoever, of any portion of the Principal Amount bearing interest at the LIBO
Based Rate on a date other than the last day of an applicable Interest Period,
(ii) the conversion, for any reason whatsoever, of the rate of interest payable
hereunder from the LIBO Based Rate to the Commercial Based Rate with respect to
any portion of the Principal Amount then bearing interest at the LIBO Based Rate
on a date other than the last day of an applicable Interest Period, (iii) the
failure due to any default by Maker of all or a portion of an advance which was
to have borne interest at the LIBO Based Rate pursuant to a Euro-Dollar Rate
Request to be made under the Loan Agreement or (iv) the failure of Maker to
borrow in accordance with a Euro-Dollar Rate Request submitted by it to Payee,
which amounts shall include, without limitation, lost profits.
Maker shall have the right to convert, from time to time, the rate of interest
payable hereunder with respect to any portion of the Principal Amount not
subject to a Euro-Dollar Rate Request, to the LIBO Based Rate or the Commercial
Based Rate, subject to the terms of this Note and provided that, in the case of
a conversion from the LIBO Based Rate, the entire amount of the particular
Euro-Dollar Amount is the subject of the conversion.
Maker shall have the right to prepay this Note, in whole or in part, without
premium or penalty (subject, however, to the provisions of this Note) upon
written notice thereof given to Payee in accordance with the notice provisions
of the Loan Agreement at least fifteen (15) days priority to the date to be
fixed therein for prepayment, and upon the payment of all accrued interest on
the amount prepaid (and any interest which has accrued at the Default Rate and
other sums that may be payable hereunder) to the date so fixed and any
Additional Costs attributable to any Euro-Dollar Amount prepaid.
Any portion of the Principal Amount to which the LIBO Based Rate is not or
cannot pursuant to the terms hereof be applicable shall bear interest at the
Commercial Based Rate.
Interest on the Principal Amount (whether computed at the Commercial Based Rate
or the LIBO Based Rate) shall be payable monthly on the first day of the first
month following the first advance of Loan proceeds which are evidenced hereby
and on the first day of each month thereafter until this Note is repaid in full
or until the Maturity Date or the expiration of the Extension Period, as the
case may be, on which date the Principal Amount and accrued interest shall be
due and payable.
Maker shall have the right and option to extend the Maturity Date to a date
ending upon the expiration of the Extension Period, such extension being subject
to the conditions that:
(i) Maker shall have notified Payee in writing of its exercise of such extension
at least thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date;
(ii) on the date of such written notice and on the date of commencement of the
Extension Period, there shall exist no default or event of default (as
respectively defined in the Deed of Trust and the Loan Agreement) and no event
shall have occurred which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or
both would constitute a default or event of default;
7
<PAGE>
(iii) such written notice given pursuant to clause (i) above shall be
accompanied by a fee in the amount of one-fourth percent (.25%) of the stated
principal of this Note;
(iv) at or before the commencement of the Extension Period, Maker shall deliver
to the Payee evidence satisfactory to Payee that the operation of the Mortgaged
Property has achieved a Debt Coverage Ratio of 1.30 to 1 for a period of three
(3) consecutive months prior to the beginning of the Extension Period; and
(v) Maker (and any guarantor) shall have executed such documents as Payee deems
reasonably appropriate to evidence such extension and shall have delivered to
Payee an endorsement to the mortgagee policy of title insurance insuring the
lien of the Deed of Trust, stating that the coverage of such policy has not been
reduced or terminated by virtue of such extension.
Commencing on the first day of the month following commencement of the Extension
Period and on the first day of each month thereafter during the Extension
Period, Maker shall pay an installment of principal on the Principal Amount
equal to $18,467.00, which installment is in addition to accrued interest due on
each such date. All payments of principal shall be credited first against
principal amounts bearing interest at the Commercial Based Rate and then toward
the payment of Euro-Dollar Amounts. Payments of Euro-Dollar Amounts shall be
applied in such manner as Maker shall select; provided, however, that Maker
shall select Euro-Dollar Amounts to be repaid in a manner designed to minimize
any losses incurred by virtue of such payment. If Maker shall fail to select the
EuroDollar Amounts to which such payments are to be applied, or if an event
ofdefault has occurred and is continuing at the time of payment, then Payee
shall be entitled to apply the payment to such Euro-Dollar Amounts in the manner
it deems appropriate. Maker shall compensate Payee for any losses incurred by
virtue of any payment of those portions of the Loan accruing interest at the
LIBO Based Rate prior to the last day of the relevant Interest Period, which
compensation shall be determined in accordance with the provisions set forth in
this Note, and any payment received pursuant to this paragraph shall be applied
first to losses incurred by Payee by reason of such payment.
If a default shall occur under the Deed of Trust, interest on the Principal
Amount shall, at the option of Payee, immediately and without notice to Maker,
be converted to the Commercial Based Rate. The foregoing provision shall not be
construed as a waiver by Payee of its right to pursue any other remedies
available to it under the Deed of Trust or any other instrument evidencing or
securing the Loan, nor shall it be construed to limit in any way the application
of the Default Rate.
Maker hereby agrees that it shall be bound by any agreement extending the time
or modifying the above terms of payment, made by Payee and the owner or owners
of the Mortgaged Property, whether with or without notice to Maker, and Maker
shall continue to be liable to pay the amount due hereunder, but with interest
at a rate no greater than the LIBO Based Rate or the Commercial Based Rate, as
the case may be, according to the terms of any such agreement of extension or
modification.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, at the option
of the holder of this Note and upon notice to the undersigned at any time after
the occurrence of a default asdefined in the Deed of Trust, from and after such
notice and during the continuance of such default, the unpaid principal of this
Note from time to time outstanding and all past due installments of interest
shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, bear interest at the Default
Rate, provided that in no event shall such interest rate be more than the
Maximum Rate.
All interest accruing under this Note shall be calculated on the basis of a
360-day year applied to the actual number of days in each month. The undersigned
shall make each payment which it owes hereunder not later than twelve o clock,
noon, Dallas, Texas time, on the date such payment becomes due and payable (or
the date any voluntary prepayment is made), in immediately available funds. Any
payment received by the Payee after such time will be deemed to have been made
on the next following business day. As used herein, the term "business day"
shall mean a day on which commercial banks are open for business with the public
in Dallas, Texas.
This Note has been executed and delivered pursuant to the Loan Agreement between
Maker and Payee.
This Note is secured, inter alia, by the Deed of Trust, evidencing a lien on
certain real property in King County, Washington, Mississippi, described
therein, and evidencing a security interest in certain personal property
described therein, to which Deed of Trust reference is here made for a
description of the property covered thereby and the nature and extent of the
security and the rights and powers of the holder of this Note in respect of such
security. In addition, the Maker has made an Assignment of Leases and Rents
covering certain leases and rents described therein to provide a source of
future payment of this Note, reference to which Assignment of Leases and Rents
is here made for a description of the leases and rents covered thereby and the
rights and powers of the Payee with respect thereto. Upon the occurrence of a
default specified in the Deed of Trust which remains uncured beyond any
applicable notice, cure or grace period, the holder of this Note or any part
thereof shall have the option of declaring the Principal Amount hereof and the
interest accrued hereon to be immediately due and payable.
It is the intent of Payee of this Note and Maker in the execution of this Note
and all other instruments now or hereafter securing this Note to contract in
strict compliance with applicable usury law. In furtherance thereof, Payee and
Maker stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in
this Note, or in any other instrument executed in connection herewith, shall
ever be construed to create a contract to pay for the use, forbearance or
detention of money, interest at a rate in excess of the Maximum Rate; that
neither Maker nor any guarantors, endorsers or other parties now or hereafter
becoming liable for payment of this Note shall ever be obligated or required to
pay interest on this Note at a rate in excess of the Maximum Rate that may be
lawfully charged under applicable law; and that the provisions of this paragraph
shall control over all other provisions of this Note and any other instruments
now or hereafter executed in connection herewith which may be in apparent
conflict herewith. Payee, including each holder of this Note, expressly disavows
any intention to charge or collect excessive unearned interest or finance
charges in the event the maturity of this Note is accelerated. If the maturity
of this Note shall be accelerated for any reason or if the principal of this
Note is paid prior to the end of the term of this Note, and as a result thereof
9
<PAGE>
the interest received for the actual period of existence of the Loan exceeds the
amount of interest that would have accrued at the Maximum Rate, the holder of
this Note shall, at its option, either refund to Maker the amount of such excess
or credit the amount of such excess against the Principal Amount and thereby
shall render inapplicable any and all penalties of any kind provided by
applicable law as a result of such excess interest. In the event that Payee or
any other holder of this Note shall contract for, charge or receive any amounts
and/or any other thing of value which are determined to constitute interest
which would increase the effective interest rate on this Note to a rate in
excess of that permitted to be charged by applicable law, all such sums
determined to constitute interest in excess of the amount of interest at the
lawful rate shall, upon such determination, at the option of the holder of this
Note, be either immediately returned to Maker or credited against the Principal
Amount, in which event any and all penalties of any kind under applicable law as
a result of such excess interest shall be inapplicable. By execution of this
Note Maker acknowledges that it believes the Loan evidenced by this Note to be
non-usurious and agrees that if, at any time, Maker should have reason to
believe that the Loan is in fact usurious, it will give the holder of this Note
notice of such condition and Maker agrees that said holder shall have ninety
(90) days in which to make appropriate refund or other adjustment in order to
correct such condition if in fact such exists. The term "applicable law" as used
in this Note shall mean the laws of the State of Texas or the laws of the United
States, whichever laws allow the greater rate of interest, as such laws now
exist or may be changed or amended or come into effect in the future.
Should the indebtedness represented by this Note or any part thereof be
collected at law or in equity or through any bankruptcy, receivership, probate
or other court proceedings or if this Note is placed in the hands of attorneys
for collection after default, Maker and all endorsers, guarantors and sureties
of this Note jointly and severally agree to pay to the holder of this Note in
addition to the principal and interest due and payable hereon reasonable
attorneys' and collection fees.
Maker and all endorsers, guarantors and sureties of this Note and all other
persons liable or to become liable on this Note severally waive presentment for
payment, demand, notice of demand and of dishonor and nonpayment of this Note,
notice of intention to accelerate the maturity of this Note, protest and notice
of protest, diligence in collecting, and the bringing of suit against any other
party, and agree to all renewals, extensions, modifications, partial payments,
releases or substitutions of security, in whole or in part, with or without
notice, before or after maturity.

The liability of Guarantor hereunder shall not be modified, changed, released,
limited or impaired in any manner whatsoever on account of any or all of the
following: (a) the incapacity, death, disability, dissolution or termination of
Guarantor, Debtor, Creditor or any other person or entity; (b) the failure by
Creditor to file or enforce a claim against the estate (either in
administration, bankruptcy or other proceeding) of Debtor or any other person or
entity; (c) recovery from Debtor or any other person or entity becomes barred by
any statute of limitations or is otherwise prevented; (d) any defenses (except
payment of the Indebtedness and performance of the Obligations), set-offs or
counterclaims which may be available to Debtor or any other person or entity;
(e) any transfer or transfers of any of the property covered by the Deed of
Trust or any other instrument securing the payment of the Note; (f) any release
of Debtor, any co-Guarantor or any other person (other than Guarantor) primarily
or secondarily liable for the payment of the Indebtedness or the performance of
the Obligations or any part thereof; (g) any modifications, extensions,
amendments, consents,
- - 2 -
<PAGE>
releases or waivers with respect to the Note, the Deed of Trust, any other
instrument now or hereafter securing the payment of the Note, or this Guaranty;
(h) any failure of Creditor to give any notice to Guarantor of any default under
the Note, the Deed of Trust, any other instrument securing the payment of the
Note, or this Guaranty (except to the extent any such notice is required
pursuant to the Guaranty or is required by applicable law and cannot validly be
waived by Guarantor); (i) Guarantor is or becomes liable for any indebtedness
giving by Debtor to Creditor other than under this Guaranty; or (j) any
impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of, or
stay of actions or lien enforcement proceedings against, Debtor, its property,
or its estate in bankruptcy resulting from the operation of any present or
future provision o t-the Federal Bankruptcy Code (hereinafter called the
"Bankruptcy Code") or other similar Federal or state statute, or from the
decision of any court.
Except for any requirements of applicable law that cannot validly be waived by
Guarantor, Creditor shall not be required to pursue any other remedies before
invoking the benefits of the guaranties contained herein, and specifically it
shall not be required to make demand upon or institute suit or otherwise pursue
its remedies against Debtor or any surety other than Guarantor or to proceed
against or give credit for any security now or hereafter existing for the
payment of any of the Indebtedness. Creditor may maintain an action on this
Guaranty without joining Debtor therein and without bringing a separate action
against Debtor.
If for any reason whatsoever other than payment and performance (including but
not limited to ultra vires, lack of authority, illegality, force majeure, act of
God or impossibility) the Indebtedness or the Obligations cannot be enforced
against Debtor, such unenforceability shall in no manner affect the liability of
Guarantor hereunder and Guarantor shall be liable hereunder notwithstanding that
Debtor may not be liable for such Indebtedness or such Obligations and to the
same extent as Guarantor would have been liable if such Indebtedness or
Obligations had been enforceable against Debtor.
Guarantor absolutely and unconditionally covenants and agrees that in the event
that Debtor does not or is unable so to pay the Indebtedness or perform the
Obligations for any reason, including, without limitation, liquidation,
dissolution, receivership, conservatorship, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment
for the benefit of creditors, sale of all or substantially all assets,
reorganization, arrangement, composition, or readjustment of, or other similar
proceedings affecting the status, composition, identity, existence, assets or
obligations of Debtor, or the disaffirmance or termination of any of the
Indebtedness or Obligations in or as a result of any such proceeding, Guarantor
shall pay the Indebtedness and perform the Obligations and no such occurrence
shall in any way affect Guarantor's obligations hereunder.
Should the status of Debtor change, this Guaranty shall continue and also cover
the lndebtedness and Obligations of Debtor under the nev status according to
the terms hereof.
- - 3 -
<PAGE>
In the event any payment by Debtor to Creditor is held to constitute a
preference under the bankruptcy laws, or if for any other reason Creditor is
required to refund such payment or pay the amount thereof to any other party,
such payment by Debtor to Creditor shall not constitute a release of Guarantor
from any liability hereunder, but Guarantor agrees to pay such amount to
Creditor upon demand and this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall
be reinstated, as the case may be, to the extent of any such payment or
payments.
Except for any requirements of applicable law that cannot validly be waived by
Guarantor, Guarantor agrees that it shall not have (a) the right to the benefit
of, or to direct the application of, any security held by Creditor (including
the property covered by the Deed of Trust and any other instrument securing the
payment of the Note), any right to enforce any remedy which Creditor now has or
hereafter may have against Debtor, or any right to participate in any security
now or hereafter held by Creditor, or (b) any defense arising out of the
absence, impairment or loss of any right of reimbursement or subrogation or
other right or remedy of Guarantor against Debtor or against any security
resulting from the exercise or election of any remedies by Creditor (including
the exercise of the power of sale under the Deed of Trust), or any defense
arising by reason of any disability or other defense of Debtor or by reason of
the cessation, from any cause, of the liability of Debtor.
The payment by Guarantor of any amount pursuant to this Guaranty shall not in
any way entitle Guarantor to any right, title or interest (whether by way of
subrogation or otherwise) in and to any of the Indebtedness or any proceeds
thereof, or any security therefor, unless and until the full amount owing to
Creditor on the Indebtedness has been fully paid, but when the same has been
fully paid Guarantor shall be subrogated as to any payments made by it to the
rights of Creditor as against Debtor and/or any endorsers, sureties or other
guarantors.
Guarantor expressly subordinates its rights to payment of any indebtedness owing
from Debtor to Guarantor, whether now existing or arising at any time in the
future, to the prior right of Creditor to receive or require payment in full of
the Indebtedness and until payment in full of the Indebtedness (and including
interest accruing on the Note after any petition under the Bankruptcy Code,
which post-petition interest Guarantor agrees shall remain a claim that is prior
and superior to any claim of Guarantor notwithstanding any contrary practice,
custom or ruling in proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code generally), Guarantor
agrees not to accept any payment or satisfaction of any kind of indebtedness of
Debtor to Guarantor or any security for such indebtedness. If Guarantor should
receive any such payment, satisfaction or security for any indebtedness of
Debtor to Guarantor, Guarantor agrees forthwith to deliver the same to Creditor
in the form received, endorsed or assigned as may be appropriate for application
on account of, or as security for, the Indebtedness and until so delivered,
agrees to hold the same in trust for Creditor.
Notwithstanding anything to the apparent contrary contained herein, Guarantor
does not herein expressly or impliedly waive or release any rights of
subrogation that Guarantor may have against Debtor (except as same are expressly
subordinated as provided herein), rights of contribution that Guarantor may have
against any other guarantor of, or other person secondarily liable for, the
- - 4 -
<PAGE>
payment of the Indebtedness or performance of the Obligations or rights of
reimbursement that Guarantor may have as against Debtor (except as same may be
limited herein).
It is the intent of Guarantor and Creditor in the execution and acceptance of
this Guaranty to contract in strict compliance with applicable usury law. In
furtherance thereof, Guarantor and Creditor stipulate and agree that none of the
terms and provisions contained in this Guaranty, or in any other instrument now
or hereafter executed in connection herewith, shall ever be construed to create
a contract to pay for the use, forbearance or detention of money, interest at a
rate in excess of the maximum interest rate permitted to be charged by
applicable law; Guarantor shall never be obligated or required to pay interest
on the Indebtedness at a rate in excess of the maximum interest that may be
lawfully charged under applicable law; and that the provisions of this paragraph
shall control over all other provisions of this Guaranty, and any other
instruments now or hereafter executed in connection herewith or any other oral
or written agreement which may be in apparent conflict herewith. Creditor
expressly disavows any intention to charge or collect excessive unearned
interest or finance charges in the event the maturity of the Indebtedness is
accelerated. If the maturity of the Note shall be accelerated for any reason or
if the principal of the Note is paid prior to the end of the term of the Note,
and as a result thereof the interest received from Guarantor for the actual
period of existence of the loan evidenced by the Note exceeds the amount of
interest at the applicable maximum lawful rate under applicable law, Creditor
shall, at its option, either refund to Guarantor the amount of such excess or
credit the amount of such excess against the principal balance of the Note then
outstanding and thereby shall render inapplicable any and all penalties of any
kind provided by applicable law as a result of such excess interest. In the
event that Creditor shall contract for, char5e or receive any amount or amounts
and/or any other thing of value from Guarantor which are determined to
constitute interest which would increase the effective interest rate on the
Indebtedness to a rate in excess of that permitted to be charged by applicable
law, all such amounts determined to constitute interest in excess of the lawful
rate shall, upon such determination, at the option of Creditor, be either
immediately returned to Guarantor or credited against the principal balance of
the Note then outstanding, in which event any and all penalties of any kind
under applicable law as a result of such excess interest shall be inapplicable.
By execution of this Guaranty, Guarantor acknowledges that Guarantor believes
the Indebtedness to be non-usurious and agrees that if, at any time, Guarantor
should have reason to believe that the Indebtedness is in fact usurious,
Guarantor will give Creditor notice of such condition and Guarantor agrees that
Creditor shall have ninety (90) days in which to make appropriate refund or
other adjustment in order to correct such condition it in fact such exists. The
term "applicable law" as used in this paragraph shall mean the laws of the State
of Texas or the laws of the United States, whichever laws allow the greater rate
of interest, as such laws now exist or may be changed or amended or come into
effect in the future.
Guarantor hereby represents, warrants and covenants to and with Creditor as
follows: (a) Guarantor is solvent, is not bankrupt and has no outstanding liens,
garnishments, bankruptcies or court actions which could render guarantor
insolvent or bankrupt, and there has not been filed by or against Guarantor a
petition in bankruptcy or a petition or answer seeking an assignment for the
benefit of creditors, the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or
liquidator with respect to
- - 5 -
<PAGE>
Guarantor or any substantial portion of Guarantor's property, reorganization,
arrangement, rearrangement, composition, extension, liquidation or dissolution
or similar relief under the Bankruptcy Code or any state law; (b) all reports,
financial statements and other financial and other data which have been or may
hereafter be furnished by Guarantor to Creditor in connection with this Guaranty
are or shall be true and correct in all material respects and do not and will
not omit to state any fact or circumstance necessary to make the statements
contained therein not misleading and do or shall fairly represent the financial
condition of Guarantor as of the dates and the results of Guarantor's operations
for the periods for which the same are furnished, and no material adverse change
has occurred since the dates of such reports, statements and other data in the
financial condition of Guarantor; (c) the execution, delivery and performance of
this Guaranty do not contravene, result in the breach of or constitute a default
under any mortgage, deed of trust, lease, promissory note, loan agreement or
other contract or agreement to which Guarantor is a party or by which Guarantor
or any of its properties may be bound or affected and do not violate or
contravene any law, order, decree, rule or regulation to which Guarantor is
subject; (d) there are no judicial or administrative actions, suits or
proceedings pending or, to the best of Guarantor's knowledge, threatened against
or affecting Guarantor or involving the validity, enforceability or priority of
this Guaranty; (e) Guarantor is duly incorporated and legally existing under the
laws of the state of its incorporation; ( this Guaranty constitutes the legal,
valid and binding obligation of Guarantor enforceable in accordance with its
terms; and (g) the execution and delivery of, and performance under, this
Guaranty are within Guarantor's powers and have been duly authorized by all
requisite action and are not in contravention of the powers of Guarantor's
charter, by-laws or other corporate papers.
Guarantor will deliver to Creditor within ninety (90) days after the close of
each fiscal year of Guarantor: (a) a statement of condition or balance sheet of
Guarantor as at the end of such fiscal year; (b) an annual operating statement
showing in reasonable detail all income and expenses of Guarantor for such
fiscal year; (c) a cash flow statement showing in reasonable detail all cash
flow of Guarantor for such fiscal year; and (d) a projected cash flow statement
showing in reasonable detail all projected cash flow for the then current fiscal
year. All of the foregoing shall be in scope and detail satisfactory to Creditor
and any or all of the foregoing shall be furnished quarterly, in addition to
annually, upon request of Creditor. The statements in (a), (b) and (c) above
shall be certified as to accuracy by an independent certified public accountant
or, with the consent of Creditor, by a representative of Guarantor acceptable to
Creditor. The statement described in (d) above shall contain a representation or
certification in form satisfactory to Creditor from a representative of
Guarantor acceptable to Creditor.
Where two or more persons or entities have executed this Guaranty, unless the
context clearly indicates otherwise, all references herein to "Guarantor" shall
mean the Guarantors hereunder or either or any of them. All of the obligations
and liability of said guarantors hereunder shall be joint and several. Suit may
be brought against said guarantors, jointly and severally, or against any one or
more of them, less than all, without impairing the rights of Creditor against
the other or others of said guarantors; and Creditor may compound with any one
or more of said guarantors for such sums or sum as it may see fit and/or release
such of said guarantors from all further liability to Creditor
- - 6 -
<PAGE>
for such indebtedness without impairing the right of Creditor to demand and
collect the balance of such indebtedness from the other or others of said
guarantors not so compounded with or released; but it is agreed among said
guarantors themselves, however, that such compounding and release shall in
nowise impair the rights of said guarantors as among themselves.
The rights of Creditor are cumulative and shall not be exhausted by its exercise
of any of its rights hereunder or otherwise against Guarantor or by any number
of successive actions until and unless all Indebtedness has been paid, all
Obligations have been performed and each of the obligations of Guarantor
hereunder has been performed. The existence of this Guaranty shall not in any
way diminish or discharge the rights of Creditor under any prior or future
guaranty agreement executed by Guarantor.
All property of Guarantor now or hereafter in the possession or custody of or in
transit to Creditor for any purpose, including safekeeping, collection or
pledge, for the account of Guarantor, or as to which Guarantor may have any
right or power, shall be held by Creditor subject to a lien and security
interest in favor of Creditor to secure payment and performance of all
obligations and liabilities of Guarantor to Creditor hereunder. The balance of
every account of Guarantor with, and each claim_ of Guarantor against, Creditor
existing from time to time shall be subject to a lien and subject to set-off
against any and all liabilities of Guarantor to Creditor, and Creditor may, at
any time and from time to time at its option and without notice, appropriate and
apply toward the payment of any such liabilities the balance of each such
account or claim of Guarantor against Creditor.
Any notice or communication required or permitted hereunder shall be given in
writing, sent by (a) personal delivery, or (b) expedited delivery service with
proof of delivery, or (c) United States mail, postage prepaid, registered or
certified mail, or (d) prepaid telegram, telex or telecopy, sent to the intended
addressee at the address shown below, or to such other address or to the
attention of such other person as hereafter shall be designated in writing by
the applicable party sent in accordance herewith. Any such notice or
communication shall be deemed to have been given and received either at the time
of personal delivery or, in the case of delivery service or mail, as of the date
of first attempted delivery at the address and in the manner provided herein, or
in the case of telegram, telex or telecopy, upon receipt.

RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS
OF THE STATE OF TEXAS (VITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO TEXAS' PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS

against Creditor with respect to any asserted claim.
This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts with the same effect
as if all parties hereto had signed the same document. All such counterparts
shall be construed together and shall constitute one instrument, but in making
proof hereof it shall only be necessary to produce one such counterpart.

<PAGE>
co-manager of all Facilities except those in Texas, Tennessee, and Arizona,
subject to the provisions of Section 3.6. ESC I, L.P., an Affiliate of Emeritus,

<PAGE>

3. GRANT OF AUTHORITY AND OBLIGATIONS OF MANAGERS
3.1 Grant to Managers. Owners hereby grant to Managers the right to supervise
and direct the management and operation of the Facilities subject to the terms
of this Agreement and the overall supervision and control of Owners. Managers
accept such grant and agree that they will supervise and direct the management
and operation of the Facilities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
and the general supervision of Owner. Managers, subject to the terms of this
Agreement, shall have the general authority and responsibility to (i)determine
operating policy and standards of operation, maintenance, and resident care for
the Facilities except where Legal Requirements require an Owner to do so in
which event Manager and such Owner shall consult with each other to allow Owner
to determine policy and standards, (ii) supervise and direct all phases of
advertising and marketing for the Facilities, (iii) carry out all phases of the
Annual Plans and (iv) perform such other acts and things as shall be necessary
to operate the Facilities in an efficient manner which is consistent with
customary and commercially reasonable practice in the industry for comparable
facilities. Managers acknowledge the trust and confidence placed in them
pursuant to this Agreement and at all times agree to act in the best interest of
Owners in managing and operating the Facilities.
3.2 Annual Plans
3.2.1 Preparation and Approval. Not later than December 1 prior to the
commencement of each Operating Year, other than the initial Operating Year, the
Managers shall submit to Owners a draft of an annual budget and forecast for the
operation of each Facility and all Facilities in the aggregate for the
forthcoming Operating Year containing projections of Total Revenues and budgets
of Operating Expenses, Fixed Operating Expenses, Capital Improvements, and
Operating Deficit or Operating Profit (the "Annual Plan"). Such budget and
forecasts shall be in
-3-
<PAGE>
reasonable detail and in such form as reasonably required by Owners. The Annual
Plan shall include the assumptions upon which the forecasts and budgets were
prepared, and shall include a proposed annual marketing plan and proposed
resident care and services plan and such other information as may be reasonable
and appropriate to fully advise Owners of all material facts and assumptions
relevant to an evaluation of the Annual Plan for each Facility. Managers shall
review the Annual Plan with Owners, and subject to Owners' approval of each
Annual Plan (which Owners shall endeavor to give by December 31), Manager shall
implement and operate the Facilities in accordance with such approved Annual
Plan for the successive Operating Year. When the Annual Plan is approved by
Owners, the respective Manager is authorized to incur and pay for the Operating
Expenses, Fixed Operating Expenses and Capital Improvements set forth in the
Annual Plan and implement the provisions of the Annual Plan. The Annual Plan
shall be updated as of June 1 of each Operating Year if requested by Owner. Each
Facility shall be operated in substantial accordance with the proforma operating
plan for such Facility previously prepared by Emeritus and provided to Owners
and the draft Annual Plan for the first Operating Year shall be provided to
Owners on or before January 30, 1999, and such draft Annual Plan shall be
approved or disapproved in accordance with this Section 3.2.1.
3.2.2 Disapproval of Plan. If an Owner declines to approve a specific item or
items of an Annual Plan for a Facility or the Facilities, the Manager shall make
appropriate revisions to the Annual Plan and resubmit the Annual Plan to the
Owner for approval. Until an Annual Plan is approved for each Operating Year,
the item or items in question will be replaced by an amount equal to such budget
item for the Operating Year prior thereto, except for Fixed Operating Expenses
over which Manager has no control and except for Capital Improvements as to
which the item or items will be replaced with $250 per Operating Year per unit
for each Facility.
3.2.3 Compliance with Annual Plan. Managers agree to use best efforts to operate
the Facilities as provided in the Annual Plan for that Facility. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Managers shall not expend more than the aggregate budget category
for each of Operating Expenses, Fixed Operating Expenses and Capital
Improvements with respect to each Facility or exceed any line item in Operating
Expenses or Capital Improvements for a Facility by more than ten percent (10%)
without an Owner's prior approval. In the event actual Total Revenues shall be
less than projected Total Revenues as set forth in the Annual Plan, Managers
shall use all reasonable efforts to effect a proportionate reduction in variable
Operating Expenses.
3.2.4 Group Services. Managers and their Affiliates will furnish to the
Facilities the benefits of any "Group Services" which Managers and their
Affiliates
- -4-

may have in effect from time to time, which phrase shall mean goods and services
provided jointly to other assisted living facilities owned or managed by
Emeritus or its Affiliates on a group or joined basis to realize maximum
economy. Group Services may include (a) bulk purchases of supplies and services,
(b) centralized purchasing service, and (c) centralized marketing services. Each
Owner shall have the option of whether and to the extent each respective
Facility shall participate in Group Services; provided that if Owner determines
that a Facility shall not participate in Group Services, then to the extent such
goods and services are reasonably required for the operation of such Facility,
Manager shall arrange for an alternative provider of such goods and services on
the most favorable terms then practicable. The costs of all Group Services shall
be allocated among the Facilities and other assisted living facilities on an
equitable basis in proportion to the benefits rendered to each and the costs of
any Group Services provided to the Facilities shall be included in the Annual
Plan if the Facilities participate in Group Services.

3.3.1 General. Consistent with the Annual Plan for each Facility, the respective
Manager shall hire, discharge, promote and supervise the executive staff of the
Facilities and will supervise through such executive staff the hiring,
discharging, promotion and work of all other operating and service employees of

qualified for their positions, and the Compensation payable to such persons
shall be comparable to the compensation paid to the staff of other comparable
assisted living facilities in the general area, taking into account the location
and size and targeted residents of each Facility. Manager shall have in its
employ at all times at each Facility a sufficient number of capable employees to
enable it to properly, adequately, safely and efficiently manage, operate,
maintain and account for the Facilities. Manager shall fully comply with all

employees required to be licensed under any Legal Requirements shall be so
licensed.

policy required hereunder or shall fail to deliver the certificate and evidence
of insurance relating to any such policy to Owner, or if any insurance policy
required hereunder (or any part thereof) shall expire or be cancelled or become
void or voidable by reason of any breach of any condition thereof, or if Owner
reasonably determines that such insurance coverage is unsatisfactory by reason
of the failure or impairment of the capital of any insurance company which wrote
any such policy, upon demand by Owner, Manager shall promptly but in any event
in not more than ten (10) days thereafter obtain new or additional insurance
coverage on the Facility, as provided herein. In the event Manager fails to
perform
- -12-
<PAGE>
its obligations under this Section, Owner may obtain such insurance and pay the
premium or premiums therefor and be reimbursed therefor as an Operating Expense,
plus, at Manager's sole expense interest from the date advanced at the Overdue
Rate.
5.1.6 Payment of Proceeds. All insurance policies required hereunder (except for
general public liability, professional liability and workers' compensation and
employers liability insurance) shall provide that in the event of loss, injury
or damage, subject to the rights of any Mortgagee, all proceeds shall be paid
solely to Owner. Only Owner is authorized to adjust and compromise any such loss
and to collect and receive such proceeds unless Owners authorize Manager in
writing to act as Owners' authorized agent.
5.1.7 Blanket Policies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, Managers' obligations to secure and maintain the insurance provided for
herein may be brought within the coverage of a so-called blanket policy or
policies of insurance carried and maintained by Managers and its Affiliates;
provided, however, that any such blanket policy shall include an agreed amount
endorsement with respect to each Facility and such other provisions so that the
coverage afforded to Owner shall not be reduced or diminished or otherwise be
different from that which would exist under a separate policy meeting all other
requirements of this Agreement by reason of the use of such blanket policy of
insurance.
5.2 Waiver of Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
neither Managers nor Owners shall assert against the other, and do hereby waive
with respect to each other, any claims for any losses, damages, liability or
expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred or sustained by either of them on
account of injury to persons or damage to property arising out of the ownership,
operation and maintenance of the Facilities to the extent that the same are
covered by the insurance carried under this Section 5. Each party shall notify
their respective insurance carriers of such mutual waivers and shall cause their
respective insurance companies to waive in writing, by endorsement or otherwise,
subrogation against the other on account thereof and to acknowledge that such
waivers do not cause any invalidation of coverage provided by such insurance
companies.
6. INDEMNITY
6.1 Indemnification by Manager. Except with respect to the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of the respective Owner or any of the other Indemnified
Parties, as to which no indemnity is provided, each Manager and Emeritus,
jointly and severally, hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold
- -13-
<PAGE>
harmless with counsel reasonably acceptable to Owner, the respective Owner and
each of the other Indemnified Parties from and against all damages, losses,
liabilities, obligations, penalties, costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs and other expenses of
litigation) suffered by, or claimed or asserted against, the respective Owner or
any of the other Indemnified Parties, directly or indirectly, by any Person
based on, arising out of or resulting from (a) the management of the Facility or
any business conducted therein; (b) any act, fault, omission to act or
misconduct by (i) any Manager, (ii) any Affiliate of a Manager, or (iii) any
employee, agent, licensee, business invitee, guest, customer, contractor or
submanager of any of the foregoing parties, relating to, directly or indirectly,
the respective Facility; (c) any accident, claim of malpractice, injury or
damage whatsoever caused to any Person; (d) any default or Event of Default
under this Agreement by Manager or any liability, damage, loss, obligation,
penalty, cost, and other expense incurred by Manager which exceeds Manager's
authority under this Agreement; (e) following closing pursuant to the Purchase
Option set forth in Section 13 or the Right of First Refusal pursuant to Section
14 any liability, damage, loss, obligation, penalty, cost, and other expense
whatsoever, whether arising before or after closing thereunder from the
Contracts, Leases, Legal Requirements, the Permits, or the operation of the
Facility or any business conducted therein; and (f) any liability under Section
6.10 of the Loan Agreement executed in connection with the Initial Senior Loan
and comparable provisions of the Initial Junior Loan except to the extent caused
by the actions of Owners. All costs and expenses of Manager pursuant to this
indemnity shall be at the sole expense of Manager except the cost or expense
shall be an Operating Expense rather than the sole expense of Manager only under
the following circumstances and only under subsections (a) and (c) above as long
as Manager was not in violation or breach of this Agreement, not negligent, and
such claim arose in the ordinary course of business. In all other circumstances,
all costs and expenses under this Section shall be the sole cost and expense of
Managers and shall not be an Operating Expense. The indemnity provided for in
this Section 6.1 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this
Agreement.
6.2 Indemnified Parties. As used in Section 6.1, the term "Indemnified Parties"
shall mean Owners or any of them, the Facility Entities or any of them, any
Mortgagee and their respective successors, assigns, employees, servants, agents,
attorneys, officers, directors, shareholders, members, managers, partners and
owners.
6.3 Indemnification by Owners. Owners, jointly and severally, agree to
indemnify, defend, and hold harmless with counsel reasonably acceptable to
Managers, the Managers and Emeritus from and against all damages, losses,
liabilities, obligations, penalties, costs and expenses (including without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs and other expenses of
litigation) suffered
- -14-
<PAGE>
by, or claimed or asserted against, the Managers or Emeritus, directly or
indirectly, by any Person based on, arising out of or resulting from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Owners under this Agreement.
7. MANAGEMENT FEES
7.1 Payment. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.2, the Facility Entities
shall pay the Managers for services rendered by the Managers pursuant to this
Agreement an amount equal to seven percent (7%) of the Total Revenues from all
Facilities in the aggregate then subject to this Agreement during the Initial
Term and any Extension Term of this Agreement ("Management Fee"), which amount
shall be paid on a monthly basis, based upon the Total Revenues earned by the
Facilities during the previous month, with the first payment to be made on the
4th day of the first full month after the Commencement Date, and continuing on
the 4th day of each month thereafter until the expiration or sooner termination
of this Agreement. During the Extension Term, the Management Fee shall be 7% of
Total Revenues with no further accrual of any portion of the Management Fee.
7.2 Limitation on Fees. The Management Fees payable to the Managers shall be
limited during the Initial Term to five percent (5%) of Total Revenues ("Base
Management Fee") until such time that the Facilities in the aggregate are
producing an Operating Profit for three (3) consecutive calendar months. The
unpaid two percent (2%) of the Management Fee shall be accrued without interest
until an Operating Profit is achieved for three (3) consecutive calendar months
("Accrued Management Fee"). From and after the date that the Facilities in the
aggregate continue to produce an Operating Profit for not less than three (3)
consecutive calendar months, the Managers shall be entitled to receive the full
Management Fee and the Accrued Management Fee from prior periods to the extent
Operating Profit is available therefor. If there is an Operating Deficit for
three (3) consecutive calendar months, the Management Fee shall be limited to
the Base Management Fee thereafter until Operating Profit is thereafter achieved
for three (3) consecutive calendar months. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, any obligation of Owners to pay any Accrued
Management Fee shall terminate automatically at the expiration of the Initial
Term if Emeritus does not timely exercise or at such time as it is not entitled
to exercise the Purchase Option set forth in Section 13, and in any event any
Accrued Management Fee shall be paid solely out of Operating Profit and neither
the Facility Entities nor AL Investors shall have any liability to pay the
Accrued Management Fee during the Initial Term or upon expiration or sooner
termination of this Agreement from any other funds or by any Owner's Deficit
Contribution pursuant to Section 8.3.
- -15-
<PAGE>
8. ACCOUNTS; OPERATING DEFICIT CONTRIBUTIONS; RECORDS AND REPORTS
8.1 Bank Accounts. Manager shall establish an Agency Account and a Reserve
Account for each Facility (which may be aggregated for one or more Facilities as
Owner may reasonably specify) at a banking institution or institutions selected
by Owner after consultation with Manager, and such accounts shall be in
Manager's name, as agent for the respective Owner (collectively the "Facility
Accounts"). Manager, as agent of Owners, will deposit in the Agency Account all
monies received from the operation of the Facilities as Total Revenue and,
together with any interest earned thereon, will disburse the same from the
Agency Account for the purposes set forth in the following Section 8.2. Revenues
or funds received by Managers from the Facilities that do not constitute Total
Revenues shall be immediately paid to Owner or placed in the Agency Account as
directed by Owners. To the extent required under any Legal Requirement, deposits
received pursuant to any Residency Agreement shall be maintained in a segregated
Agency Account for such deposits, and all amounts in such segregated deposit
Agency Account shall be used only to refund deposits in accordance with
Residency Agreements and, if any such deposits are forfeited under the terms of
a Residency Agreement, for deposit into the Agency Account. All funds derived
from the deduction for the Reserve Fund described in Section 8.4 shall be placed
in the Reserve Account and shall be transferred to the Agency Account for the
purpose of disbursement as expenditures are made in accordance with the
provisions of Section 8.4. Manager shall not commingle any funds in the Facility
Accounts with Manager's or any Affiliate's other funds. Notwithstanding the
foregoing as to each of the Facility Accounts, the Owner shall be designated as
an additional signatory on each of the Facility Accounts entitled to withdraw
all or any of the funds in said accounts in the event that Manager has filed a
voluntary petition or is the subject of an involuntary petition in bankruptcy,
insolvency or reorganization under the bankruptcy law or in any event if this
Agreement has expired or sooner terminated. In addition, if Emeritus does not
timely exercise or no longer has the right to exercise the Purchase Option, then
Owner shall have the right to implement a cash management system whereby amounts
in the Agency Accounts are automatically swept into accounts of the Owners on a
monthly or other regular basis specified by Owners. Managers shall reasonably
cooperate with Owners in implementing such cash management system. It is
expressly agreed and understood that all funds standing in the Facility Accounts
described herein are the sole property of the respective Owner, notwithstanding
that Manager shall have the right to withdraw funds therefrom for the purposes
set forth in this Agreement.
8.2 Expenditures. In accordance with the Annual Plan, except as otherwise
approved by Owners, Managers as agent of the Facility Entities are hereby
authorized to pay from the Agency Account for each Facility in the
- -16-
<PAGE>
following order of priority such amounts and at such times as are required to
pay the following expenditures:
(a) The Operating Expenses;
(b) The Fixed Operating Expenses (exclusive of any Base, Accrued or other
Management Fee and Capital Improvements) except for such items as Owner has
elected to pay directly;
(c) The cost of Capital Improvements approved by Owner;
(d) The Base Management Fee or if the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 have
been satisfied the full Management Fee for the current period;
(e) The Accrued Management Fee from prior periods if the conditions set forth in
Section 7.2 have been satisfied;
(f) Any Cash Available for Distribution to Owner, which shall be paid over to
Owners as directed by Owners within twenty (20I days after the end of each
calendar month during the Term. Funds in the Agency Account shall not be
utilized for any other purpose.
8.3 Deficit Contributions. In the event that Total Revenue from the Facilities
is insufficient, or is anticipated to be insufficient, to pay the Operating
Expenses and Fixed Operating Expenses of the Facilities during any calendar
month during the Initial Term, upon ten (10) days written notice from the
Manager, Owners shall deposit or cause to be deposited funds in the Agency
Account in advance on a monthly basis in an amount equal to the Operating
Deficit for the upcoming calendar month up to the aggregate cumulative amount of
54,500,000 ("Owner's Deficit Contribution"). Promptly after the end of such
calendar month the parties shall reconcile the payment of Owner's Deficit
Contribution based upon the actual Operating Deficit for such month. All
Operating Deficits during the Initial Term remaining after Owner has funded the
full amount of the Owner's Deficit Contribution, i.e., $4,500,000, shall be
funded absolutely and unconditionally by Emeritus into the Agency Account or
otherwise as directed by Owners as and when necessary to pay, but in any event
no later than ten (10) days after written notice from Owners, all Operating
Deficits during any calendar month during the Initial Term ( which commences on
the date hereof and expires December 31, 2001) as more particularly set forth
herein and in the Emeritus Guaranty ("Emeritus Deficit Contribution"). Owners
shall have no obligations whatsoever to reimburse, bear the burden of or
otherwise pay Emeritus for any Emeritus Deficit Contribution. AL Investors shall
provide reasonable evidence of the availability of Owner's Deficit
- -17-
<PAGE>
Contribution. The obligation of Emeritus to make Emeritus Deficit Contributions
pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall survive any termination of this Agreement
prior to the expiration of the Initial Term; provided, however, that such
obligations shall not survive any termination of this Agreement arising out of
an Event of Default by Owner, and shall not survive any partial termination of
this Agreement with respect to any Facility purchased by Daniel R. Baty pursuant
to the Put and Purchase Agreement following closing thereunder.
8.4 Reserve Account. In the event the approved Annual Plan for any Facility
provides for expenditures of less than $250 per unit in such Facility for the
applicable Operating Year for replacements of Furnishings and Equipment or
Capital Improvements, there shall be deducted from Total Revenue as part of
Fixed Operating Expenses the difference between such expenditures and $250 per
unit in such Facility for such Operating Year /or such lesser amount as Owners
may approve) funded quarterly and the cash funds so created shall be deposited
in the Reserve Account. Funds in the Reserve Account shall be utilized for the
purpose of making replacements, substitutions, and additions to Furnishings and
Equipment originally included in the Facility or Capital Improvements to the
extent approved by Owners in the Annual Plan or as directed by Owners to
maintain each Facility in good order and operating condition. Funds in the
Reserve Account shall be invested in an interest bearing account or securities
as Owners may direct and interest thereon shall be added to the Reserve Account.
Funds from the Reserve Account shall not be utilized for any other purpose.
8.5 Books and Records. Under Manager's supervision, each Facility shall keep (at
the Facility or at Emeritus' corporate headquarters) full and adequate books of
account and such other records and information as are necessary to reflect the
results of the operation of the Facility and to comply with all Legal
Requirements with respect to the Facility. Managers will keep the books and
records for each Facility in all material respects in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles except as otherwise approved by Owners. All such
records shall be and remain the exclusive property of the Owners, subject to
Manager's right to make and retain copies thereof.
8.6 Reports to Owners. Manager and Emeritus will deliver, or cause to be
delivered, to Owners the following forecasts, budgets, reports and statements
each in form reasonably acceptable to Owners:
8.6.1 Not later than December 1 the draft Annual Plan for the succeeding
Operating Year;
8.6.2 Within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar month, an end of
the month financial report showing the results of operation of each Facility
- -18-
<PAGE>
and a balance sheet for the prior month and the year to date for each Facility
and all Facilities in the aggregate prepared in accordance with GAAP and
certified as fairly representing the financial results in all material respects
by a financial officer of Emeritus;
8.6.3 Within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar month during the
Term, a computation for all Facilities in the aggregate and for each Facility
individually of Total Revenue, Operating Expenses, Fixed Operating Expenses and
Operating Deficit or Operating Profit for the prior month, year to date, and for
Operating Profit or Operating Deficit cumulative from the Commencement Date, in
each case on a cash basis and certified as fairly representing the financial
results in all material respects by a financial officer of Emeritus;
8.6.4 As soon as practicable after each Operating Year, but in any event, within
seventy-five (75) days of the end of each Operating Year, an income statement
and balance sheet for all Facilities in the aggregate and for each Facility
individually in form reasonably acceptable to Owners as of the last day of such
Operating Year, which income statement and balance sheet shall be certified as
fairly representing the financial results in all material respects by a
financial officer of Emeritus and if requested by Owners be audited by an
independent nationally recognized accounting firm approved by Owners and such
other annual end of year financial reports as may be reasonably necessary for
each Owner and Owners to file its or their federal and state income tax returns;
8.6.5 The financial reports to be delivered to any Mortgagee as more
particularly defined in the respective Mortgage or related loan documents;
8.6.6 Within ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year of Emeritus,
audited financial statements of Emeritus prepared by an independent "big five"
accounting firm approved by Owners, prepared in accordance with GAAP, including
a balance sheet and an income statement for such fiscal year, certified as true
and correct in all material respects by a financial officer of Emeritus.
Emeritus shall also submit to Owners, upon its filing thereof, a copy of any
Form 1 OK or Form 1 OQ as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission;
8.6.7 Copies of all Medicare and/or Medicaid cost reports and any amendments
thereto filed with any Governmental Authority with respect to any Facility, and
all responses, audit reports and other correspondence and other documents
received with respect to such cost reports.
8.6.8 Within three (3) days of receipt, copies of any notice received from any
Governmental Authority or Third Party Payor that any Permit, Medicare
- -19-
<PAGE>
and/or Medicaid certification or similar item with respect to a Facility is
being downgraded, revoked or suspended or that any such action is pending or
being considered.
8.6.9 Such other reports reasonably required by Owners or any Mortgagee.
8.7 Rights to Inspection and Review. Each Owner, its accountants, attorneys,
agents and any Mortgagee shall have the right to enter upon any part of any
Facility at any time during normal business hours during the Term, and on not
less than eight (8) hours prior notice unless an emergency exists, for the
purpose of examining or inspecting the same or examining and making extracts and
copies of books and records of the Facility or for any other purpose, including
audits, which the Owner of any Facility, in its discretion, shall deem necessary
or advisable, but same shall be done with as little disruption to the business
of the Facility as practicable. Books and records of the Facility shall be kept
at the Facility and a summary thereof in such location as directed by Owners.
8.8 Deficiencies and Overpayments. If any audit or financial report discloses a
deficiency in the reporting of Total Revenues, or any overpayment in Operating
Expenses, Fixed Operating Expenses or Management Fees, Managers shall forthwith
recalculate Operating Profit, Operating Deficit or Management Fees and pay to
the Owners any overpayment or otherwise, together with interest at Manager's
sole expense on the amount of deficiency or overpayment, calculated at the
Overdue Rate, from the date when such overpayment was made until the date Owners
receive return of such overpayment. If any audit conducted for Owners pursuant
to the provisions hereof discloses that the Total Revenues for any Operating
Year exceed those reported by Managers by more than five percent (5%) or that
the full Management Fee or any Accrued Management Fee was overpaid by more than
five percent (5%), the Managers at their sole expense (and not as an Operating
Expense) shall pay the reasonable cost of such audit and examination. Otherwise,
the cost of audits approved by Owners shall be an Operating Expense.
8.9 Survival. The obligations and rights of the Managers and Owners referenced
in Section 8.8 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this
Agreement for a period of three (3) years.
9. TERMINATION RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
9.1 By Managers. The Managers may terminate this Agreement, except for the
provisions of Section 8.3, with respect to all (but not less than all) of the
Facilities by reason of any of the following ("Event of Default"): (i) failure
of Owners to fund an Operating Deficit in accordance with Section 8.3 within
fifteen
- -20-
<PAGE>
(15) days after written notice to the Owner that payment has not been paid when
due; or (ii) the Owner otherwise breaches or fails to perform a material term of
this Agreement, which breach or failure is not cured within thirty (30) days
after written notice of said breach is provided to Owner. Provided, however,
that Manager shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement without the
prior written consent of any Mortgagee. Provided, further, Manager shall have no
right to terminate this Agreement nor shall Owner be in default if such right to
terminate or such default is caused by a failure by Emeritus to fund Operating
Deficits or a default or an Event of Default committed or suffered hereunder by
Managers or Emeritus. If Managers terminate the Agreement pursuant to this
Section 9.1, such termination shall not terminate the Purchase Option or Right
of First Refusal under Section 13 or Section 14 below, and the Purchase Option
and Right of First Refusal shall remain in full force and effect. If Managers
terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1 and the Purchase Option is
thereafter exercised, the purchaser shall be entitled to offset and deduct from
the Purchase Price that portion of Owner's Deficit Contribution which Owners did
not fund but were required to do so in accordance with Section 8.3 and which
Managers or Emeritus funded and were not reimbursed by Owners.
9.2 Owner. The Owner may terminate this Agreement with respect to any one or all
of the Facilities by reason of any of the following (each an "Event of
Default"): (i) Managers or Emeritus fail to fund the Emeritus Deficit
Contribution under Section 8.3 within fifteen (15) days after written notice
from Owner that payment has not been paid when due; (ii) Emeritus breaches or
fails to perform any obligation, including but not limited to the warranties,
representations and indemnities, under the Emeritus Guaranty which is not cured
within the time period set forth therein; (iii) Emeritus or its Affiliates fail
to perform any obligation under the Purchase Agreements which survive closing
thereunder; (iv) Managers or any of them or Emeritus breaches or fails to
perform a material term of this Agreement as to any or all Facilities, which
breach or failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice of
said breach is provided to the Managers; (v) Daniel Baty fails to perform or
defaults under the Put and Purchase Agreement within the time period set forth
therein or fails to comply with the liquidity and reporting requirements of the
Initial Senior Loan /which is not cured within any applicable cure period set
forth therein); (vi) Emeritus fails to perform or defaults under the Licensing
Indemnity Agreement within the time period set forth therein; or (vii) either
Manager or Emeritus suffers a Bankruptcy Event. Provided, however, Owners shall
have no right to terminate this Agreement nor shall Managers be in default if
such right to terminate or such default is caused by a failure by Owner to fund
Operating Deficits to the extent provided in Section 8.3. Any such
- -21-
<PAGE>
termination pursuant to this Section 9.2 shall also constitute a termination of
the Purchase Option.
9.3 Curing Defaults. Except for failure to close under the Purchase Option set
forth in Section 13, or under the Right of First Refusal under Section 14, or a
default under Section 9.2(v), (vi), or (vii), any default by Managers or Owner
under the provisions of Section 9.1 or 9.2, except for defaults involving the
payment of money which must be cured within the applicable cure period, shall
not constitute an Event of Default if the nature of such default will not permit
it to be cured within the cure period allotted, provided that either Managers or
Owner promptly shall commence to cure such default and shall proceed to complete
the same with diligence but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the
written notice of default has been given.
9.4 Effect of Termination. The termination of this Agreement in whole or in part
under the provisions of this Section 9 shall not affect the rights of the
terminating party with respect to any damages it may have suffered as a result
of any breach of this Agreement, nor shall it affect the rights of either party
with respect to liability or claims accrued or arising out of events occurring
prior to the date of termination. Any termination of this Agreement, whether in
whole or in part, other than by reason of an Event of Default by Owner and other
than as a result of a Casualty or Condemnation as to a particular Facility,
shall automatically terminate the Purchase Option provided for in Section 13 and
the Right of First Refusal provided by Section 14, but any termination of this
Agreement by reason of an Event of Default by Owner shall not terminate the
Purchase Option provided for in Section 13 and the Right of First Refusal
provided by Section 14. No termination of this Agreement for any reason under
any provision hereof, including without limitation, Section 9.1, whether in
whole or in part, shall terminate any obligation of Emeritus to fund the
Emeritus Deficit Contribution or otherwise hereunder or under the Emeritus
Guaranty except only as to those Facilities terminated from this Agreement as a
result of Casualty or Condemnation pursuant to Section 9.7.2.
9.5 Remedies Cumulative. The right of termination shall not be an exclusive
remedy and either party shall have the right to sue for damages or seek
equitable relief following an Event of Default. Neither the right of termination
nor the right to sue for damages nor any other remedy available to either party
hereunder shall be exclusive of any other remedy given hereunder or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity.
9.6 Transfer Upon Termination. Upon expiration or sooner termination of this
Agreement in whole or in part, except for termination upon closing under the
Purchase Option and the Right of First Refusal, Managers at their sole expense
shall
- -22-
<PAGE>
transfer or assign as directed by Owners to the respective Facility Entity all
books, records, Facility Accounts, Permits, Contracts, Leases, any Personal
Property owned by or in the possession of Managers, all of which shall be free
and clear of all Liens (except for the Mortgage), and other matters and things
utilized by Manager in the operation of the Facilities which are no longer
subject to this Agreement. Any vans or buses shall be conveyed to Owners upon
payment by Owners of the then book value determined in accordance with GAAP.
Upon any termination of this Agreement, Manager shall assign and otherwise take
all actions required to effectively transfer to the Facility Entities all
Permits which are required under applicable Legal Requirements to be issued in
the name of Managers. Managers shall cooperate fully in such transfer and shall
not interfere with an Owner employing any and all employees of the Facility who
desire to accept such Owner's offer of employment. Manager's obligations
hereunder and under the Purchase Agreements and Owner's remedies for breach
thereof shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement and
the transfer and assignment herein.
9.7 Termination of Agreement as to Individual Facilities. The parties
acknowledge that this is a master Management Agreement with respect to all of
the Facilities and this Agreement may be terminated by Owner as to a
particular Facility in one or more of the following circumstances. In such
event, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as to the
remaining Facilities but the provisions of Section8.3 shall nonetheless
continue as to any Facilities terminated from this Agreement except only for
termination pursuant to 9.7.2 below:
9.7.1 Default. There has been an Event of Default by the Manager as to a
particular Facility and Owner has terminated this Agreement as to such Facility;
9.7.2 Casualty or Condemnation. There has been an election by Owner to terminate
this Agreement as to a particular Facility resulting from Casualty or
Condemnation which Owner has elected not to repair as provided for in Section
11; or
9.7.3 Termination During Extension Term. If Owner has elected the option for the
Extension Term, Owner may terminate this Agreement as to any Facility in its
sole discretion upon not less than sixty (60) days prior notice to the Manager;
9.7.4 Termination of Put Facilities. Upon closing of the purchase of a Put
Facility pursuant to the Put and Purchase Agreement, such Put Facility or
Facilities shall be automatically deleted from this Agreement.
- -23-
<PAGE>
9.7.5 Termination of Failed Facilities. Upon closing of the purchase by Emeritus
or its Affiliates of a Failed Facility pursuant to the Licensing Indemnity
Agreement, such Failed Facility or Facilities shall be automatically deleted
from this Agreement.
In the event of the termination of this Agreement as to less than all of the
Facilities, then in determining Operating Deficit and Operating Profit the
Facilities, less only those Facilities terminated pursuant to Section 9.7.2 -
9.7.5, shall be the basis for such calculations.
10. ASSIGNMENT
10.1 Assignment by Manager. Manager shall not assign, transfer or encumber this
Agreement or any right or interest herein or hereunder voluntarily or by
operation of law or in any other manner without the prior written consent of
Owners, which may be withheld in their sole discretion. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Managers may sublet management of Facilities entitled Meadowlands
Terrace, Lakeridge Place, and Saddleridge Lodge to X.L. Management, an Affiliate
of Holiday Retirement Corp; provided, however, that such sublet management
arrangements shall not affect in any way Emeritus' or Managers' obligations
under this Agreement or Emeritus' obligations under the Emeritus Guaranty.
10.2 Assignment by Facility Entities. Owners may assign or transfer this
Agreement to any Affiliate or to any Mortgagee without the consent of Emeritus
or Managers. In such event, the Owner or Owners assigning this Agreement (except
as to an assignment for security purposes to any Mortgagee, but not excepting
the realization by such Mortgagee of such assignment in connection with a
foreclosure of the applicable Mortgage or the granting of a deed in lieu of
foreclosure to such Mortgagee) shall be relieved of all liability under this
Agreement accruing or arising out of facts and circumstances occurring after the
date of such assignment, except for the obligation to fund the Owner's Deficit
Contribution pursuant to Section 8.3 /which shall not apply to the holder of any
Senior Loan). In connection with any security assignment to a Mortgagee,
Managers and Emeritus shall subordinate this Agreement to the Mortgage in such
form as any Mortgagee may require.
10.3 Refinancing. With the prior consent of Managers and Emeritus, which shall
not unreasonably be withheld, the Facility Entities shall have the right to
refinance the Mortgage initially held by the Lending Group as to one or more
Facilities upon the following terms and conditions:
10.3.1 Obligations of Managers and Emeritus. If any refinancing would increase
the reasonably projected amount of the Emeritus Deficit
- -24-
<PAGE>
Contribution as computed under this Agreement with respect to the initial
Mortgage over the remaining balance of the Initial Term, then, unless Emeritus
shall approve such refinancing, Emeritus shall not be obligated to fund such
increased amount of the Emeritus Deficit Contribution to the extent resulting
from such refinancing. Any refinancing shall provide that upon closing of the
Purchase Option or Right of First Refusal, Emeritus may assume the Mortgage
resulting from such refinancing upon commercially-reasonable terms including
payment of the Mortgagee's assumption expenses and an assumption fee not to
exceed one-half percent (.5%) of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage.
10.3.2 Segregation of this Agreement. In connection with a refinancing, this
Agreement shall be segregated into two or more separate management agreements
with the Facilities being managed pursuant to each management agreement
corresponding to the Facilities subject to each Mortgage or Mortgages held by a
separate Mortgagee. In such event, the terms and conditions of each separate
management agreement shall be the same as this Agreement, except Total Revenues,
Operating Expenses, Fixed Operating Expenses, Operating Profit and Operating
Deficit shall be computed only with respect to the Facilities subject to each
separate management agreement. If such segregation would increase the reasonably
projected amount of the Emeritus Deficit Contribution as computed under this
Agreement with respect to the initial Mortgage, than unless Emeritus shall
approve such segregation, Emeritus shall not be obligated to fund such increased
amount of the Emeritus Deficit Contribution to the extent resulting from such
segregation. Each segregated management agreement may be assigned to the
respective Mortgagee and shall be subordinate to the respective Mortgage as
provided in Section 10.2 above. Upon such segregation, Emeritus shall execute a

11. CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION
11.1 Casualty. If a Facility shall be damaged by a Casualty such that Owner
determines in its sole but good faith judgment that it is not feasible to
restore the Facility, or if for any reason insurance proceeds are not available
to effect such restoration, then Owner may terminate this Agreement as to that
Facility upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Manager, and neither
party shall have any further obligation to the other party hereunder with
respect to that Facility and this Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect as to the remaining Facilities. If this Agreement shall not be terminated
by Owner in the event of a Casualty to the Facility, then Owner with the
cooperation of Manager, or Manager if Owner so directs, shall proceed with
reasonable diligence to commence and complete the restoration of the Facility to
substantially its condition and character just prior to the occurrence of such
casualty to the extent permitted under Legal Requirements. The cost of
restoration shall not be an Operating Expense or Fixed Operating Expense except
to the extent such cost of restoration exceeds available insurance proceeds and
such costs of restoration in excess of available insurance proceeds, including
any deductibles under applicable insurance policies shall constitute an
Operating Expense.
11.2 Condemnation. If a Facility is subject to Condemnation, or such substantial
portion thereto as to make it unfeasible, in the sole but good faith judgment of
Owner, to restore and continue to operate the remaining portion of the Facility
following Condemnation, then upon the Date of Taking, this Agreement shall
terminate as to that Facility and neither party shall have any further
obligation to the other party hereunder with respect to that Facility and this
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect as to the remaining Facilities.
If Owner elects to restore and continue to operate the remaining portion of the
Facility, then this Agreement shall not terminate as to the Facility, and Owner
with the cooperation of Manager, or Manager if Owner so directs, shall proceed
with reasonable diligence to repair any damage to the Facility, or to alter or
modify the Facility so as to render it a complete architectural unit which can
be operated as a Facility of substantially the same type and class as before.
The cost of restoration shall not be an Operating Expense or Fixed Operating
Expense except to the extent the cost of restoration exceeds the net amount of
any Award received by any Owner. In the case of any Condemnation, whether or not
this Agreement shall cease and terminate, the entire Award shall be the property
of Owner, and Manager hereby assigns to Owner all its right, title and interest
in and to any Award. Manager shall have the right, however, to claim and recover
from the condemning authority compensation for any loss which Manager may be put
for Manager's moving expenses or taking of Manager's personal property (not
including any value assigned to this Agreement), provided that such damages may
be claimed only if
- -26-
<PAGE>
they are awarded separately in the Condemnation proceedings and not out of or as
part of the Award recoverable by Owner.
12. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
Any program of improvements, or improvement involving an addition to a Facility
or the renovation or refurbishing of the Facility, the cost of which is not or
should not be charged to property operation and maintenance and which should be
capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, shall
be a "Capital Improvement." Capital Improvements shall be undertaken only upon
the approval of or direction by Owner in its sole discretion, which may be by
separate approval or by specific inclusion in the Annual Plan. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, Emeritus shall have the unconditional
obligation at its sole expense (and not as an Operating Expense or Fixed
Operating Expense) to complete and pay for: (a) all development, construction
and furnishing of Furnishings and Equipment, Operating Equipment and Operating
Supplies of Facilities entitled "Brookside Estates" and "Gardens at White
Chapel", (b) all Capital Improvements made or acquired during calendar year
1998, and (c) any sales tax or other Impositions resulting from construction of
any Facilities in Texas. To the extent any improvements to the Facilities are to
be funded from an escrow or similar account at Closing under the Purchase
Agreements ("Holdback Accounts"), such improvements shall not be deemed Capital
Improvements hereunder and the cost thereof shall not be Operating Expenses or
Fixed Operating Expenses. Managers shall expeditiously cause the completion of
all improvements to be funded by the Holdback Accounts.
13. EMERITUS' OPTION TO PURCHASE
13.1 Conditions to Option. On the conditions precedent (which conditions Owners
may waive, in their sole discretion, by notice to Emeritus at any time) that (a)
at the time of exercise of the Purchase Option, there then exists no Event of
Default under this Agreement by the Managers or Emeritus, and (b) Emeritus
timely complies with the provisions of this Section 13, and (c) if a Put Notice
has been delivered on account of Section 3.1 (d) or 3.1 (e) of the Put and
Purchase Agreement, less than sixty (60) days has elapsed since delivery of such
Put Notice, then Emeritus or its Affiliates shall have the option to purchase
all, but not less than all, of the Meditrust Facilities then subject to this
Agreement including, without limitation, any Meditrust Facilities which are the
subject of a segregated Management Agreement pursuant to Section 10.3, at the
price and upon the terms hereinafter set forth in this Section 13 (the "Purchase
Option"/.
13.2 Exercise of Option; Deposit. The Purchase Option shall permit Emeritus to
purchase the Meditrust Facilities (a) at any time during the Initial Term
- -27-
<PAGE>
but not later than the last day of the Initial Term ("Purchase Option Expiration
Date") provided that written notice of the exercise of the option is given by
Emeritus to the Owners (the "Purchase Option Notice") at least one hundred
eighty (180) days prior to the Purchase Option Expiration Date. Emeritus shall
have no right to rescind the Purchase Option Notice once given. With the
Purchase Option Notice, Emeritus shall deposit with the Owners the sum of
5602,540 (together with the interest earned thereon, the "Deposit") which shall
constitute liquidated damages and Owners' sole remedy if Emeritus fails to
consummate the purchase of the Meditrust Facilities for any reason other than
Owners' default and refusal to deliver the Deeds conveying the Meditrust
Facilities upon payment of the Purchase Price, but the Deposit shall be applied
to the Purchase Price if the Purchase Option closes. Emeritus and the Owners
acknowledge that damages that would accrue from Emeritus' failure to close the
Purchase Option are difficult to determine and that the amount of liquidated
damages set forth above constitutes a good faith and reasonable estimate of the
damages that would otherwise have accrued. The Deposit shall be deposited in a
money market or similar account with a commercial bank with all interest thereon
remaining in such account and reported as income of Emeritus, and Emeritus
agrees to complete a Form W-9 and such other forms as such bank may require in
order to report such interest.
13.3 Conveyance. If the Purchase Option is exercised by Emeritus in accordance
with the terms hereof, each Meditrust Facility shall be conveyed by a special
warranty deed subject to the Permitted Exceptions, Leases, Contracts and Permits
(except for the Mortgage) and all matters arising through or with the consent of
Managers or Emeritus with covenants only against acts of Owners or Persons
claiming by, through or under Owners during their period of ownership, a quit
claim bill of sale as to all Personal Property, and a quit claim assignment of
all Leases, Contracts, Permits, and funds in Facility Accounts in form
satisfactory to Owners (collectively, the "Deed") running to Emeritus or to its
designee. Transfer of all Permits to Emeritus or its Affiliate designee in
accordance with Legal Requirements shall be the sole responsibility of Emeritus.
Owners, other than an obligation to reasonably cooperate (at no material
out-of-pocket cost) in such transfer, shall have no liability or responsibility
for the adequacy or completeness of any transfer of the Permits. Owners shall
reasonably cooperate with Emeritus and its title companies in order to provide
all necessary documents, owner's affidavits (provided Owners have no liability
thereunder except for their own acts during their period of ownership) and other
evidence of authority to enable Emeritus to purchase title insurance covering
all of the Facilities at the closing under the Purchase Option.
13.4 Calculation of Purchase Price. The price to be paid by Emeritus for the
acquisition of the Meditrust Facilities pursuant to this Purchase Option shall
be equal to the amount calculated as set forth on Exhibit B ("Purchase Price").
The
- -28-
<PAGE>
Purchase Price shall be a net price to be received by Owners without deduction
for due diligence, transfer taxes, title insurance or other closing costs, all
of which shall be paid by Emeritus. Owners shall not bear any closing costs or
prorations of any kind or nature, subject to any offset as provided in Section
9.1.
13.5 Payment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price, less the Deposit, shall be
paid by Emeritus at the Time of Closing in good funds.
13.6 Place and Time of Closing. If this Purchase Option is exercised, the
closing shall occur and the Deed for each Meditrust Facility shall be delivered
to Title Company (the "Closing") pursuant to escrow closing arrangements
reasonably satisfactory to Owners and Emeritus at 12:00 o'clock noon (P.S.T.)
one hundred eighty (180) days following delivery of the Purchase Option Notice
but in no event later than the Purchase Option Expiration Date (such time, as
the same may be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, the "Time of
Closing"/. It is agreed that time is of the essence of this Purchase Option.
13.7 Condition of Facilities. The Meditrust Facilities and each of them shall be
purchased by Emeritus "AS IS" and "WHERE IS" as of the Time of Closing. Without
limiting the foregoing, and except as set forth in the Deed, Owners make and
shall not make representations or warranties, express or implied, with respect
to, and shall have no liability for: (I) the condition of the Facilities or any
Improvements thereon or the suitability, habitability, merchantability or
fitness of the Facilities; (ii) compliance with any Legal Requirements; (iii)
the presence of any Hazardous Substances in or about the Facilities, including
without limitation asbestos or urea-formaldehyde, or the presence of any
Hazardous Substances on or under the Land; (iv) the accuracy or completeness of
any plans and specifications, reports, or other materials provided to Emeritus;
or (v) any other matter relating to the Facilities, including, without
limitation, the title thereto or the condition, value or operating results or
prospects thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Owners
shall have no liability to Emeritus with respect to the condition of the
Facilities under common law, or under any Legal Requirements and Emeritus hereby
waives any and all claims which Emeritus has or may have against Owners with
respect to the condition, value or operating results or prospects of the
Facilities. Emeritus assumes the responsibility and risks of all defects and
conditions, including such defects and conditions, if any, that cannot be
observed by inspection or examination of records. Managers and Emeritus shall
indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Owners from and against all claims and
liabilities arising out of or related to the Facilities as more particularly set
forth in Section 6.1 and from and against any guaranties of any Mortgages, it
being intended that Owners shall have no liability from and after the Time of
Closing with respect to the Facilities, except as set forth in the Deed.
- -29-
<PAGE>
13.8 Use of Purchase Price to Clear Title. To enable the Facility Entities to
make the conveyance as provided in this Section 13, the Facility Entities may,
at the Time of Closing, use the Purchase Price or any portion thereof to clear
the title of any Mortgage, provided that all instruments so procured are
recorded contemporaneously with the Closing or reasonable arrangements are made
for recording subsequent to the Time of Closing in accordance with customary
conveyance practices.
13.9 Emeritus' Default. If Emeritus delivers the Purchase Option Notice and
fails to timely consummate the purchase of the Facilities in accordance with the
terms hereof for any reason other than Facility Entities' default and refusal to
deliver the Deed, (a) the Purchase Option and Right of First Refusal shall be
deemed terminated and Emeritus shall thereafter have no further right to
purchase the Facilities pursuant to this Section 13 or Section 14 or otherwise,
(b) Owners shall retain the Deposit as liquidated damages and as Owners' sole
remedy in full satisfaction of any claims against Emeritus for its failure to
consummate the purchase of the Facilities, but nothing herein shall relieve
Emeritus from its obligations under the Emeritus Guaranty, and (c) Owners shall
have the right to terminate this Agreement without further notice.
14. EMERITUS' RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL
14.1 Conditions of Right of First Refusal. On the conditions (which conditions
Owners may waive, in their sole discretion, by notice to Emeritus at any time)
that (a/ at the time of exercise of the Right of First Refusal granted herein on
the First Refusal Date, there then exists no Event of Default under this
Agreement by the Managers or Emeritus, and (b) Emeritus complies with the
provisions of this Section 14, then Emeritus shall have a right of first refusal
to purchase the Emeritus Facilities then subject to this Agreement, at the price
and upon the terms hereinafter set forth in this Section 14 (the "Right of First
Refusal").
14.2 Exercise of Right, Deposit. If, at any time during the Initial Term, the
Owners of the Emeritus Facilities should receive a bonafide third-party offer to
purchase the Emeritus Facilities acceptable to the Owners or such Owners should
exercise their rights to require Daniel R. Baty ("Baty") to purchase the
Emeritus Facilities pursuant to the Put and Purchase Agreement, Emeritus shall
have the right to purchase the Emeritus Facilities on the same terms and
conditions as contained in such bona-fide third-party offer to purchase or on
the same terms and conditions applicable to Baty with respect to the Emeritus
Facilities under the Put and Purchase Agreement. Upon receipt of such bona fide
third-party offer to purchase or upon the giving of the notice to Baty to
purchase the Emeritus Facilities under the Put and Purchase Agreement, a copy of
the applicable document shall be given within ten (10) days thereafter to
Emeritus. Within thirty
- -30-
<PAGE>
(30) days after the receipt of such document, Emeritus shall have the right to
give notice to Owners of its exercise of the Right of First Refusal /"First
Refusal Date").
14.3 Terms of Closing. If Emeritus should timely exercise its Right of First
Refusal with respect to the Emeritus Facilities, the terms (including, without
limitation, any deposit) and the closing shall be governed by the provisions of
such bonafide third-party offer, the provisions applicable to Baty under the Put
and Purchase Agreement with respect to the Emeritus Facilities, which provisions
are incorporated herein by this reference, except in any event closing shall
occur on or before expiration of the Initial Term. Time is of the essence of
this Right of First Refusal.
14.4 Emeritus Default. If Emeritus timely delivers notice of exercise of the
Right of First Refusal and fails to timely consummate the purchase of the
Facilities in accordance with the terms hereof for any reason other than the
Facility Entities' default, (a) the right of First Refusal granted herein shall
be deemed terminated and Emeritus shall thereafter have no further right
hereunder, (b) Owners shall retain any deposit as liquidated damages and as
Owners' sole remedy in satisfaction of any claims against Emeritus for its
failure to consummate the purchase of the Emeritus Facilities, but nothing
herein shall relieve Emeritus from its obligations under the Emeritus Guaranty,
and (c) Owners shall have the right to terminate this Agreement without further
notice.

LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("AL Investors"), for itself and as

Managers and Owners dated the same date of this Agreement ("Management
Agreement"). Existing leases of certain of the Facilities by Emeritus or an

B. Under the terms and conditions of the Management Agreement, Managers have
agreed to manage all of the Facilities and perform other obligations as set
forth therein. In addition, Emeritus has agreed to fund certain Operating
Deficits of the Facilities pursuant to the Management Agreement.

obligations under the Management Agreement and agreeing to fund any Operating
Deficit in excess of the Owner's Deficit Contribution as more particularly
- -1-
<PAGE>
defined herein and in the Management Agreement. Owners would not have entered
into the Purchase Agreements or the Management Agreement without execution and
delivery of this Agreement.
In consideration of the Owners entering into the Purchase Agreement and the
Management Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Emeritus agrees as follows:
1. Obligations.
1.1 Guaranteed Obligations. Emeritus hereby absolutely, unconditionally and
irrevocably guarantees to each of Owners prompt payment and performance to
Owners when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, of all indebtedness,
liabilities, and obligations of Managers to Owners of any kind or nature
whatsoever under or arising from-the Management Agreement, or any modification,
supplementation or replacement thereof, or from other dealings by which any one
or. more of Owners may become a creditor of Managers including but not limited
to all of the foregoing which arise or would accrue but for the filing of any
bankruptcy or other insolvency proceedings by or against any Manager (the
"Guaranteed Obligations").
1.2 Shortfall Funding Obligations. The Management Agreement provides that in the
event that Total Revenue from the Facilities is insufficient to pay the
Operating Expenses and Fixed Operating Expenses of the Facilities during any
calendar month during the Initial Term (which commences on the date hereof and
expires December 31, 2001), upon ten (10) days' written notice from the Manager,
Owners shall deposit or cause to be deposited funds in the Agency Account in
advance on a monthly basis in an amount equal to the Operating Deficit for the
upcoming calendar month up to the aggregate cumulative amount of $4,500,000
("Owner's Deficit Contribution"). The Management Agreement further provides that
all Operating Deficits in excess of Owner's Deficit Contribution shall be funded
absolutely and unconditionally by Emeritus into the Agency Account or otherwise

than ten (10) days after written notice from Owners, all Operating Deficits
which accrue or are incurred during the Initial Term as more particularly set
forth herein and in the Management Agreement ("Emeritus Deficit Contribution").
In addition to the Guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations set forth above, the
purpose of this Agreement is to create the obligation of Emeritus, separate and
independent from the obligation set forth in the Management Agreement, to fund

effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of all
or any part of the Obligations is rescinded or otherwise must be returned by
Owners upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of any of the Managers

the Managers or any other Person, or any security they may have for performance
or payment of the Obligations before being entitled to payment and performance
from Emeritus of the Obligations.
7. Effect of Certain Laws. Notwithstanding the provisions of the laws of any

Agreement by any one or more of the Managers or any trustee, receiver or similar
official on behalf of the Managers (whether pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 365 or

reorganization or other proceedings shall affect, diminish, or otherwise impair

Obligations immediately due and payable from Managers, it may nevertheless do so
as to Emeritus.
8. No Conditions to Agreement. This Agreement is absolute and unconditional and
has been delivered free of any conditions and no representations have been made
to Emeritus affecting or limiting the liability of Emeritus under this
Agreement. This Agreement is in addition to and not in substitution for any
agreement of Emeritus in the Management Agreement, the Purchase Agreements or in
any other document or instrument executed by Emeritus agreeing to perform all or
any part of the Obligations.
9. Continuing Agreement. This is a continuing guaranty and agreement. No action
or proceeding brought or instituted under this Agreement and no recovery in
pursuance thereof shall be a bar or defense to any further action or proceeding
which may be brought under this Agreement by reason of the same or any further
default or defaults under this Agreement or in the performance and observance of
the terms, covenants, conditions, and provisions in the Obligations, or any
document, instrument or agreement evidencing the Obligations, securing repayment
of the Obligations or otherwise executed in connection with the Obligations.

3.1 Exercise of Put. AL Investors and the applicable Facility Entities
shall have the right to require Obligor to purchase certain of the Facilities
specified by AL Investors and the applicable Facility Entities as provided below
and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement upon the occurrence of any
of the following events ("Triggering Events" and each a "Triggering Event"):
(a) If Emeritus has not exercised its Purchase Option (as defined in
the Management Agreement) to purchase the Meditrust Facilities on or
- -2-
<PAGE>
before one hundred eighty (180) days prior to expiration of the Initial Term of
the Management Agreement as provided for in Section 13 of the Management
Agreement.
(b) If Emeritus timely exercises its Purchase Option (as defined in
the Management Agreement) to purchase the Meditrust Facilities but thereafter
fails to close such purchase in accordance with the terms of the Management
Agreement, time being of the essence with respect to such purchase.
(c) If there should be an Event of Default under the terms of the
Management Agreement by Emeritus or Managers.
(d) If Obligor has failed to satisfy the requirements of Section 3.11
below.
(e) If there has been a Change in Control not approved in writing by
AL Investors and the Initial Junior Lender, which approval may be given or
withheld in their sole discretion.
Obligor shall give written notice of the occurrence of any Triggering Event to
AL Investors, but failure to give such notice shall not affect Obligor's
obligations under this Agreement. Upon occurrence of any one or more of the
Triggering Events, AL Investors may require Obligor to purchase six (6) of the
Facilities with respect to Triggering Events (a), (b), (c) and (d) and eight (8)
of the Facilities with respect to Triggering Event (e), all of the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. The designation of which six (6) or eight (8)
Facilities Obligor shall be obligated to purchase shall be in AL Investors'
sole, absolute and unfettered discretion. Obligor acknowledges that such
designations are likely to include those Facilities that are least desirable or
of the lowest relative value. AL Investors shall provide written notification to
Obligator ("Put Notice") specifying the Facilities Obligor is required to
purchase ("Put Facilities" and each a "Put Facility"), the purchase price for
each Put Facility calculated in accordance with Section 3.4, and the amount of
the Deposit required by Section 3.5. AL Investors may give the Put Notice to
Obligor at any time after the Triggering Event but in any event prior to sixty
(60) days after the later of: (a) AL Investors has acquired actual knowledge
that a Triggering Event has occurred, pursuant to written notice from Obligor or
otherwise, or (b) one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of
Initial Term of the Management Agreement. The closing on this purchase by
Obligor on the Put Facilities shall occur within ninety (90) days after the
delivery of the Put Notice to Obligor ("Put Purchase Date"). Obligor shall be
absolutely and unconditionally obligated to purchase the Put Facilities in
accordance with the Put Notice on the Put Purchase Date.
3.2 Option in Favor of Obligor. If AL Investors has delivered the Put
Notice to Obligor, Obligor shall also be deemed to have an option to purchase
from
- -3-
<PAGE>
AL Investors and the Facility Entities all, but not less than all, of the
Facilities then owned by AL Investors and the Facility Entities on the same
terms, conditions and purchase price set as set forth in Section 13 of the
Management Agreement, adjusted to include the simultaneous purchase by Obligor
of the Emeritus Facilities in accordance with Section 4 below ("Obligor's
Option"), provided that Obligor exercises Obligor's Option by written notice and
deposit given to AL Investors not later than twenty (20) days after receipt of
the Put Notice pursuant to Section 3.1 (a) or 3.1 (b), and not later than sixty
(60) days after receipt of the Put Notice pursuant to Section 3.1 (c), 3.1 (d)
or 3.1 (e). Upon exercise of Obligor's Option pursuant to this Section, Obligor
shall nonetheless remain obligated to deliver the full amount of the deposit set
forth in Section 3.5 below, and shall additionally be obligated to deposit the
amount set forth in Section 13.2 of the Management Agreement. Failure to give
such notice and deposit within such twenty (20) day or sixty (60) day period
shall automatically terminate Obligor's Option. Notwithstanding the Obligor's
Option, the Put Notice shall remain effective until such time that Obligor
exercises the Obligor's Option to purchase all the Facilities then owned by the
AL Investors and the Facility Entities and closes such purchase pursuant to
Obligor's Option, except that the time period to close the purchase of the Put
Facilities shall be extended until ten (10) days after the date on which
Obligor's Option is required to close. The terms and conditions for such
purchase and the closing thereof shall be pursuant to the provisions of Section
13 of the Management Agreement, which are incorporated herein by this reference,
adjusted to include the simultaneous purchase by Obligor of the Emeritus
Facilities in accordance with Section 4 below. If Obligor fails to close the
purchase pursuant to Obligor's Option, then Obligor shall forfeit its deposit
made pursuant to Section 13.2 of the Management Agreement, and such amount shall
not be credited against Obligor's continuing obligation to purchase the Put
Facilities. Obligor's Option under this Section 3.2 following a Put Notice shall
be subordinate to the rights of Emeritus under the Emeritus Purchase Option
pursuant to Section 13 of the Management Agreement if Emeritus timely exercises
and closes such purchase.
3.3 Title. If a Put Notice is provided to Obligor in accordance with the
terms hereof, each Put Facility shall be conveyed on the Put Purchase Date, or
the next Business Day thereafter, by a quit claim deed ("Deed") subject to all
Permitted Exceptions and other Liens, easements or matters of record (except
only for any Mortgage) and all matters arising through or with the consent of
Managers or Emeritus, a quit claim bill of sale and assignment as to all
Personal Property and a quit claim assignment of all Leases, Contracts and
Permits. The form of all such quit claim deeds and assignments shall be as
specified by AL Investors or Facility Entities and consistent with Legal
Requirements for conveyances in the jurisdiction in which each Put Facility is
located. Transfer of all Permits to Obligor or his designee in accordance with
Legal Requirements for each Put Facility shall be the sole responsibility and
cost of Obligor. Other than an obligation to reasonably cooperate (at no
material out-of-pocket cost) in such transfer, AL Investors or the
- -4-
<PAGE>
Facility Entities shall have no liability or responsibility for the adequacy or
completeness of any transfer of the Permits. No delay in transferring the
Permits shall delay the closing of the purchase of the Put Facilities by
Obligor, except only for such necessary time required with all due diligence to
obtain reissuance or transfer of the Permits, but not beyond sixty (60) days. If
such Permits have not been reissued or transferred by such date, then Obligor
shall be deemed to be in default of his obligation to purchase the Put
Facilities and shall be liable for damages as set forth in Section 3.10.
3.4 Calculation of Purchase Price. The price to be paid by Obligor for the
acquisition of each Put Facility shall mean the amount calculated in accordance
with Exhibit C (the "Purchase Price"). AL Investors' calculation of the Purchase
Price shall be final, absent bad faith. The Purchase Price shall be a net
Purchase Price to be received by AL Investors for each Facility without
deduction for due diligence, transfer taxes, -title insurance or other closing
costs, all of which shall be paid by Obligor. Neither AL Investors nor the
Facility Entities shall bear any closing costs or prorations of any kind or
nature including, without limitation, with respect to real property taxes, water
sewer charges, utilities or other operating expenses or income.
3.5 Deposit. Within seven (7) days after delivery of the Put Notice to
Obligor, Obligor shall deliver a cash deposit to AL Investors in an amount equal
to five percent (5%) of the aggregate Purchase Price for the Put Facilities
(together with all interest earned thereon, the "Deposit"). The Deposit shall be
deposited in a money market or similar interest-bearing account with a
commercial bank selected by AL Investors. The Deposit shall be credited against
the Purchase Price. Obligor expressly acknowledges that the Deposit is not the
limit of Obligor's liability and does not otherwise constitute liquidated
damages in the event of a default by Obligor in the purchase of the Put
Facilities as more fully set forth in Section 3.10 below.
3.6 Payment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for each Put Facility
shall be paid by Obligor at the Time of Closing in good funds.
3.7 Place and Time of Closing. If the Put Notice is given to Obligor, the
closing shall occur and the Deed for each Put Facility shall be delivered to
Title Company at 12:00 o'clock noon (P.S.T.) on the Put Purchase Date ("Time of
Closing"). It is agreed that time is of the essence with respect to all matters
relating to the purchase of the Put Facilities by Obligor pursuant to a Put
Notice. AL Investors, the Facility Entities and Obligor shall execute such
escrow instructions and other documents as may be customary and reasonably
requested by the Title Company in order to close the purchase of the Put
Facilities in accordance with this Agreement.

<PAGE>
3.8 Condition of Put Facilities. The Put Facilities and each of them shall
be purchased by Obligor "AS IS" and "WHERE IS" as of the Time of Closing.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither AL Investors nor the
Facility Entities make and shall not make any representations or warranties,
express or implied, with respect to, and shall have no liability for: (i) the
condition of the Put Facilities or any Improvements thereon or the suitability,
habitability, merchantability or fitness of the Put Facilities; (ii) compliance
with any Legal Requirements; (iii) the presence of any Hazardous Substances in
or about the Put Facilities, including without limitation asbestos or

plans and specifications, reports, or other materials provided to Obligor; or
(v) any other matter relating to the Put Facilities, including, without
limitation, the title thereto or the condition, value or operating results or
prospects thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither AL
Investors nor the Facility Entities shall have any liability to Obligor with
respect to the condition, value or operating results or prospects of the Put
Facilities under common law, or under any Legal Requirements and Obligor hereby
waives any and all claims which Obligor have or may have against AL Investors
and/or Facility Entities with respect to the condition of the Put Facilities.
Obligor assumes the responsibility and risks of all defects and conditions,
including such defects and conditions, if any, that cannot be observed by
inspection or examination of records. Obligor shall indemnify, defend, and hold
harmless AL Investors and/or Facility Entities from and against all claims and
liabilities of any type or kind arising out of or related to the Put Facilities,
from and after the Time of Closing, it being intended that AL Investors or
Facility Entities shall have no liability from and after the Time of Closing
with respect to the Put Facilities.
3.9 Use of Purchase Price to Clear Title. To enable the respective Facility
Entities to make the conveyance as provided in this Section 3, AL Investors and
the Facility Entities may, at the Time of Closing, use the Purchase Price or any
portion thereof to clear the title of any Mortgage, provided that all
instruments so procured are recorded contemporaneously with the Closing or
reasonable arrangements are made for recording subsequent to the Time of Closing
in accordance with customary conveyancing practices.
3.10 Obligor's Default. If AL Investors delivers the Put Notice to Obligor
and Obligor fails to consummate the purchase of the Put Facilities in accordance
with the terms hereof for any reason other than the Facility Entities' willful
and unexcused refusal to deliver the Deed and other assignments provided for
herein, AL Investors or Facility Entities shall have the option to either (a)
sue for specific performance compelling Obligor to purchase the Put Facilities
as required by this Agreement or (b) to sue for damages which shall be measured
by the difference between the aggregate Purchase Price for the Put Facilities
and the then fair market value of the Put Facilities, less the transaction costs
(including seller's share of any adjustments and prorations) anticipated to be
incurred by AL Investors
- -6-
<PAGE>
or the Facility Entities in connection with the sale of the Put Facilities to a
third party, all as determined by AL Investors. AL Investors determination of
the fair market value shall be final, absent bad faith or an unreasonable
determination.

personal net worth ("Net Worth Statement") dated as of June 30, 1998. Obligor

that (a) the net worth of the Obligor shown on his Net Worth Statement falls

Dollars ($3,000,000), in form and substance and from a financial institution
meeting AL Investors' reasonable satisfaction and drawable solely upon AL
Investors' statement that a default under this Agreement has occurred (the
"Letter of Credit"), to secure the timely performance of Obligor under this
Agreement. In no event shall the Letter of Credit constitute liquidated damages
or otherwise limit Obligor's liability hereunder. Failure to satisfy the terms

above.

Obligations shall in any manner affect, diminish or impair the liability of

TO PUT AND PURCHASE AGREEMENT
1. Exercise of Option by Emeritus. Immediately following the exercise by
Emeritus of the Option contained in Section 13 of the Management Agreement,
Emeritus, Obligor and AL Investors shall seek to agree on an aggregate fair
market value for the three Emeritus Facilities (the "Fair Market Value"). If
Emeritus, Obligor and AL Investors fail to agree on the Fair Market Value within
ten (10) Business Days after such exercise of the Option, the Fair Market Value
shall be determined by a single appraiser satisfactory to Emeritus, Obligor and
AL Investors, if they were able to agree to such an appraiser within ten fl 0)
Business Days after such exercise of the Option. If no single appraiser is so
selected, Emeritus, Obligor and AL Investors shall each appoint an independent
appraiser (a) who is a member of the Appraisal Institute with at least five (5)
years experience appraising assisted living facilities on a national basis, (b)
who agrees to render a determination of the Fair Market Value of the three
Emeritus Facilities within the time periods specified below, and (c) who is not
then employed, anticipated to be employed, nor during the last three (3) years
has been employed, by the party selecting the appraiser. If only one appraiser
is appointed, its judgment as to the Fair Market Value of the three Emeritus
Facilities shall be conclusive. If two, but not three appraisers are appointed,
then the two appraisers so appointed shall thereafter appoint a third appraiser
within ten (10) Business Days of their appointment who meets the same
qualifications. If they fail to dc so, either of the parties appointing an
appraiser may request that the head of the State of Washington Chapter of the
American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers (or any other recognized
professional association of real estate appraisers) designate a third appraiser
with such qualifications. The three appraisers so appointed shall within thirty
(30) days thereafter render their judgment as to the fair market value of the
Emeritus Facilities. The Fair Market Value shall be the numerical average of the
two closest appraisals or the one, if any, which is the numerical average of the
other two. All costs of the appraisers selected shall be borne by the Obligor.
2. Exercise of Option by Obligor. Immediately following the exercise by Obligor
of the Option contained in Section 3.2 of this Agreement, Obligor and AL
Investors shall seek to agree on an aggregate fair market value for the three
Emeritus Facilities (the "Fair Market Value"), so that Emeritus may decide
whether to exercise its Right of First Refusal with respect to the Emeritus
Facilities as provided for in Section 14 of the Management Agreement. (In the
event Emeritus waives its Right of First Refusal, then no Fair Market Value
determination shall be required because the Fair Market Value amount which is to
be paid for the Emeritus Facilities is deducted in the formula for the Option
Purchase Price for the Meditrust Facilities.) If Obligor and AL Investors fail
to agree on the Fair Market Value within ten (10) Business Days after such
exercise of the Option, the Fair Market Value shall be determined by a single
appraiser satisfactory to Emeritus, Obligor and AL
B-1
<PAGE>
Investors, if they were able to agree to such an appraiser within ten (10)
Business Days after such exercise of the Option. It no single appraiser is so
selected, Obligor and AL Investors shall each appoint an independent appraiser
(a) who is a member of the Appraisal Institute with at least five (5) years
experience appraising assisted living facilities on a national basis, (b) who
agrees to render a determination of the Fair Market Value of the three Emeritus
Facilities within the time periods specified below, and (c) who is not then
employed, anticipated to be employed, nor during the last three years has been
employed, by the party selecting the appraiser. If only one appraiser is
appointed, its judgment as to the Fair Market Value of the three Emeritus
Facilities shall be conclusive. The two appraisers so appointed shall thereafter
appoint a third appraiser within ten (10) Business Days of their appointment who
meets the same qualifications. If they fail to do so, either Obligor or AL
Investors may request that the head of the State of Washington Chapter of the
American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers (or any other recognized
professional association of real estate appraisers designate a third .appraiser
with such qualifications. The three appraisers so appointed shall within thirty
(30) days thereafter render their judgment as to the Fair Market Value of the
Emeritus Entities. The Fair Market Value shall be the numerical average of the
two closest appraisals or the one, if any, which is the numerical average of the
other two. All costs of the appraisers selected shall be borne by the Obligor.

initial balance as set forth as the Owner's Deficit Contribution on Exhibit D
hereto, which shall be decreased from time to time by the Operating Deficits of
such Facility and which shall be increased from time to time by any net proceeds
from refinancing such Facility after repayment of its allocable Senior Loan, and
deduction of refinancing costs and reserves, but which shall not be less than
zero. In the event Emeritus makes an Emeritus Deficit Contribution pursuant to
Section 8.3 of the Management Agreement, such contribution shall be deemed for
purposes of the preceding sentence to reduce the Operating Deficits of those
Facilities producing Operating Deficits in proportion to their relative amounts.
The "Investment Account" for a Facility shall initially equal the sum of the
allocated Equity and Owner's Deficit Contribution for such Facility, as shown on
Exhibit D. The Investment Account shall be increased from time to time by (a)
additional amounts contributed by AL Investors with respect to such Facility to
pay for Operating Deficits after the Cash Account balance for such Facility has
been reduced to zero, (b) amounts contributed by AL Investors to the Facility
Entity to reduce the Senior Loan allocated to such Facility, (c) any proceeds of
AL Investors or other Facility Entities applied by the Senior Lender to reduce
the Senior Loan allocated to such Facility, and (d) as January 1 of each year,

with respect to such Facility.
The "Investment Return" means an eighteen percent (18%) per annum rate of return
which shall accrue on a daily basis on the balance of the Investment Account, as
adjusted from time to time as set forth above.
The "Purchase Price" for a Put Facility shall equal the amount, determined as of
the Put Purchase Date, that is required to repay in full the Senior Loan
allocated to such Facility (including all prepayment penalties and other charges
incurred on such repayment) plus the Investment Account of such Facility, plus
the Investment Return accrued on the Investment Account for such Facility for
the current year through the Put Purchase Date, plus an amount equal to two
percent (2%) of the initial Investment Account for such Facility, less the Cash
Account balance for such Facility. The Purchase Price for all Put Facilities
shall equal the sum of the Purchase Prices for each Put Facility calculated as
set forth above.
