         heretofore located on the Real Estate or Leased Property, or any
         property adjacent thereto, will be at Buyer's cost and expense;
         provided however, that if the tank closure report for the Christian
         Care of Smithville property is not accepted by the State of North
         Carolina and any further testing is required by the State of North
         Carolina or any other applicable governmental agency having

         to which Sellers or Owners would otherwise be responsible at law, the
         Sellers and Owners shall be responsible for all remediation or cleanup

         private water system from the well and pump station and sewage
         treatment facility owned by Sellers and Owners which currently serve

         North Carolina which will be leased by Buyer after closing. Pursuant to
         the Lease Agreements for the Creekside Manor facility and the office
         building, Buyer will be responsible for the maintenance and repair of
         the well and pump station and sewage treatment facility during the term
         of such leases.

10.      This Amendment may be executed simultaneously in two or more
         counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of
         which together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. A
         facsimile signature shall be deemed the same as an original signature.

11.      Except as expressly amended hereby, the terms of the Agreement shall
         remain in full force and effect.
