WITNESSETH:
-----------
WHEREAS, Borrower, Guarantors (other than Delta 1) and Bank are parties
to a certain Loan Agreement dated March 31, 1999 (as the same has been and may

WHEREAS, Borrower and Bank are in the process of finalizing a proposed

WHEREAS, Borrower has requested that Bank (i) accept five (5) new
Facilities as Real Property Collateral under the Agreement, and (ii) release two
(2) Facilities and the Post Office Property currently serving as Real Property
Collateral under the Agreement (referred to collectively as the "Substitution"),
and, in connection with the Substitution, the Bank has (a) agreed to accept the
Appraisals previously submitted for the Best Care, Northside, Ouachita and
Sierra Vista Facilities, and (b) agreed to waive the requirement of an Appraisal
for the Clarion Facility, all subject to and conditioned upon the execution
hereof by Borrower, Guarantors and Bank, and subject to the terms and conditions
stated herein; and
WHEREAS, as part of the Substitution, Delta 1 is being added to the
Agreement as a Guarantor and Loan Party, and Delta 2 is being removed from the
Agreement as a Guarantor and Loan Party; and
WHEREAS, in connection with the foregoing, Borrower, the Guarantors and
Bank desire to provide for certain amendments and changes to the terms,
conditions and provisions of the Agreement, as specifically set forth herein and
subject to the terms and conditions hereof.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants
herein contained, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:
1. Substitution of Collateral. If the New Facility has not been
consummated, completed and closed on or before August 15, 2000, the parties
shall mutually agree upon certain Facilities (the "Substitute Facilities") from
the list attached hereto as Schedule 1 which shall be substituted for the
Facilities theretofore serving as Real Property Collateral. The Substitute
Facilities shall have an aggregate EBITDAR of not less than $11,000,000.00 and
aggregate EBITDAR Coverage of not less than 1.25. Such substitution shall be
pursuant to the terms, conditions and provisions of Section 3.5(c) of the
Agreement (as amended hereby), and must be completed not later than August 31,
2000. Following such substitution, the Substitute Facilities shall constitute
the Real Property Collateral under the Agreement, and shall be subject to all of
the terms, conditions and provisions of the Agreement (as amended hereby). For
purposes hereof, "EBITDAR" shall mean, for the twelve (12) month period next
preceding the last day of the most recently ended calendar quarter, determined
in accordance with GAAP, the sum of net income (or net loss) after subtracting a
4% management fee for such period, plus the sum of all amounts treated as
expenses for: (a) interest, (b) depreciation, (c) amortization, (d) all accrued
taxes on or measured by income to the extent included in the determination of
such net income (or net loss), and (e) the amount of all rental payments
actually paid or accrued to a Loan Party with respect to such Facility;
provided, however, that net income (or net loss) shall be computed without
giving effect to extraordinary losses or gains or interest income. For purposes
hereof, "EBITDAR Coverage" shall mean the ratio of (i) the aggregate EBITDAR for
twelve (12) month period next preceding the last day of the most recently ended
calendar quarter to (ii) the aggregate rental payments made to the Loan Parties
under the lease, master lease, management agreement or similar agreement between
a Loan Party and an Operator with respect to each Facility included within Real
Property Collateral for such period.
2. Payment of Fees. Upon receipt of an invoice therefor, Borrower shall
promptly pay to Bank, in good cleared funds, all fees and costs, including,
without limitation attorneys' fees, incurred by Bank in connection with the
negotiation, preparation and execution of this Amendment, the Substitution and,
if applicable, the further substitution provided for in Paragraph 1 of this
Amendment. The foregoing does not include any such fees, costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the New Facility.
3. Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein
shall have the same meanings assigned to them in the Agreement.
4. Amendments to Agreement.
The following amendments shall be deemed to have been made to the
Agreement as of August 15, 2000, without any further action on the part of the
parties hereto:
4.1 Section 2.6 of the Agreement shall be amended and restated
to read in its entirety as follows:
Section 2.6 Interest Payable on the Loan.
(a) Determination of Interest Rate For the Loan. The Interest Rate
for the Loan shall be determined as follows:
(i) During the applicable LIBOR Period specified in a LIBOR
Election, the principal balance of such portions of the Loan
which are the subject of such LIBOR Election shall bear
interest at the applicable LIBOR-Based Rate. The principal
balance of such portions of the Loan other than the LIBOR
Loans shall bear interest at the Prime Based Rate. The
foregoing provisions of this clause (i) are subject to
imposition of the Post-Default Rate as provided in Section
2.6(d).
(ii) From time to time as provided below, Borrower may make a
LIBOR Election in accordance with the following provisions
of this clause (ii). Any LIBOR Election, in order to be
effective, must be made by written notice, signed by a duly
authorized officer of Borrower identified to Bank, given to
Bank and actually received by Bank, and must specify the
portions of the Loan which are the subject thereof and the
LIBOR Period applicable thereto. Any LIBOR Election shall
become effective as of the first day of the calendar month
first occurring not less than three Business Days after
Bank's receipt of the LIBOR Election, and shall remain
effective, as to each LIBOR Loan specified therein, until
the end of the LIBOR Period applicable thereto (excluding
the last day thereof). Other than with the consent of Bank,
Borrower may not have more than four LIBOR Loans outstanding
at any time, and any LIBOR Election that would result in
more than four LIBOR Loans being outstanding shall not be
effective.
(iii)The Prime-Based Rate and the LIBOR-Based Rate shall be
adjusted on each Interest Rate Adjustment Date, to be
effective upon such change.
(iv) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.6(a)
to the contrary, (A) Borrower may not make a LIBOR Election
if, at any time, deposits in Dollars for the requested LIBOR
Period are not available to Bank in the London interbank
market, or (B) Borrower may not make a LIBOR Election, and
if a LIBOR Election is in effect with respect to LIBOR Loan,
it shall be terminated if, at any time, by reason of
national or international financial, political or economic
conditions or by reason of any applicable law, treaty, rule
or regulation (whether domestic or foreign) now or hereafter
in effect, or the interpretation or administration thereof
by any governmental authority charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by
Bank with any request or directive of such authority
(whether or not having the force of law), including, without
limitation, exchange controls, Bank reasonably determines
that it is impracticable, unlawful or impossible for Bank to
maintain LIBOR Loans at the LIBOR-Based Rate.
(b) Interest Rate on Other Obligations. With the exception of any
Obligations due and owing in connection with that certain
facility extended from Bank to Sterling Acquisition Corp.
pursuant to a Loan and Security Agreement dated December 30, 1994
(as the same may have been modified, amended or extended), the
outstanding amount of any Obligations other than the Loan shall
bear interest at the applicable Interest Rate, subject to the
imposition of Post-Default Rate as provided in Section 2.6(d).
(c) Interest Payments. Borrower shall pay to Bank (i) interest
accrued through the date of payment on the outstanding principal
amount of each LIBOR Loan in arrears on the last day of each
LIBOR Period applicable thereto, and (ii) interest accrued
through the date of payment on each Loan other than a LIBOR Loan
monthly in arrears commencing on August 31, 2000 and continuing
on the last day of each calendar quarter thereafter; provided,
however, that if Borrower elects, pursuant to this Section 2.6 to
convert a portion of the Loan other than a LIBOR Loan to a LIBOR
Loan, Borrower shall pay all interest accrued but unpaid on the
portion of the Loan being converted for the period commencing on
the date of the last interest payment for such portion of the
Loan to (but not including) the first day of the LIBOR Period for
the LIBOR Loan into which such portion of the Loan was converted.
Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.6, Borrower shall
pay to Bank interest accrued through the date of payment on all
other Obligations immediately upon demand.
(d) Post-Default Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of any Event of Default, the outstanding principal and all
accrued and unpaid interest, as well as any other Obligations due
Bank hereunder or under any Loan Document, shall bear interest at
the Post-Default Rate from the date on which such Event of
Default shall have occurred to the date on which such Event of
Default shall have been waived or cured.
