     all costs of correcting a condition or

     Lender section of this Deed of Trust. Any
     inspections or tests made by Lender shall be

     construed to create any responsibility or

     Trustor's due diligence iii investigating the
     Property for hazardous waste and hazardous
     substances. Trustor hereby (a) releases and

     the Deed of Trust or as a consequence of any
     use, generation, manufacture, storage,
     disposal, release or threatened release
     occurring prior to Trustor's ownership or
     interest in the Property, whether or not the
     same was or should have been known to

     the Deed of Trust, including the obligation
     to indemnify, shall survive the payment of
     the Indebtedness and the satisfaction and
     reconveyance of the lien of this Deed of

                         3

      5. The paragraph on page 3 with the heading
"Due on Sale -- Consent by Lender" is amended in

      Due On Sale -- Consent By Lender. Lender
      may, at its option, declare immediately due
      and payable all sums secured by this Deed of
      Trust upon the sale or transfer, without the
      Lender's prior written consent, of all or
      any part of the Real Property, or any
      interest in the Real Property. A "sale or
      transfer" means the conveyance of Real
      Property or any right, title or interest
      therein; whether legal, beneficial or
      equitable; whether voluntary or involuntary;
      whether by out right sale, deed, installment
      sale contract, land contract, contract for
      deed, leasehold interest with a term greater
      than three (3) years, lease-option contract,
      or by sale, assignment, or transfer of any
      beneficial interest in or to any land trust
      holding title to the Real Property, or by
      any other method of conveyance of Real
      Property interest. If any Trustor is a
      corporation, partnership or limited
      liability company, transfer also includes
      any change in ownership of more than fifty
      percent (50%) of the voting stock,
      partnership interests or limited liability
      company interests, as the case may be, of
      Trustor. However, this option shall not be
      exercised by Lender if such exercise is
      prohibited by federal law or by Arizona law.
      The foregoing provisions of this paragraph
      shall not apply to any sale or transfer to
                         
                         4


      
      any subsidiary or affiliate of Emeritus

     all events prior to delinquency) all taxes
     and assessments, including without limitation
     sales or use taxes in any state, local
     privilege or excise taxes based on gross
     revenues, special taxes, charges (including
     water and sewer), fines and impositions
     levied against Trustor or on account of the
     Property, and shall pay when due all claims
     for work done on or for services rendered or
     material furnished to the Property. Trustee
     shall maintain the Property free of all liens
     having priority over or equal to the interest
     of Lender under this Deed of Trust, except
     for the lien of taxes and assessments not due
     and except as otherwise provided in this Deed
     of Trust. Beneficiary shall have the right,
     but not the duty or obligation, to charge
     Trustor for any such taxes or assessments in
     advance of payment. In the event that
     Beneficiary exercises the foregoing right and
     receives any amount from Trustor attributable
     to such taxes, Beneficiary shall have the
     obligation and responsibility to timely pay
     the subject taxes.
     
     7. The reference to $ 1,000.00 in the
subparagraph on page 4 with the heading
"Application of Proceeds" is replaced by
$25,000.00. In addition, the last sentence of this
subparagraph is amended in its entirety and
superseded by the following: "If Lender holds any
proceeds after payment in full of the

     8. The paragraph on page 4 with the heading
"Tax and Insurance Reserves" is hereby amended and
superseded by the following:
     
     Tax and Insurance Reserves. Subject to any
     limitations set by applicable law, Lender may
     require Trustor to maintain with Lender
                         
                         5


     
     reserves for payment of annual taxes,
     assessments and insurance premiums, which
     reserves shall be created by advance payment
     or monthly payments of a sum estimated by
     Lender to be sufficient to produce amounts
     at. least equal to the taxes, assessments,.
     and insurance premiums to be paid; provided
     that Lender shall not have the right to
     impose such reserve requirement upon Trustor
     so long as Trustor pays said taxes,
     assessments and insurance premiums as they
     become due. The reserve funds shall be held
     by Lender as a general deposit from Trustor,
     which Lender may satisfy the payment of the
     taxes, assessments, and insurance premiums
     required to be paid by Trustor as they become
     due. Lender shall have the right to draw upon
     the reserve funds to pay such items. Nothing
     in the Deed of Trust shall be construed as
     requiring Lender to advance other monies for
     such purposes, and Lender shall not incur any
     liability for anything it may- do or omit to
     do with respect to the reserve account. All
     amounts in the reserve account are hereby
     pledged to further secure the indebtedness,
     and Lender is hereby authorized to withdraw
     and apply such amounts on the indebtedness
     upon the occurrence of any Event of Default.
     Lender shall not be required to pay any
     interest or earnings on the reserve funds
     unless required by law or agreed to by Lender
     in writing. Upon receipt by Beneficiary of
     sufficient reserve funds to pay any of the
     subject taxes or insurance premiums,
     Beneficiary shall have the obligation and
     responsibility to timely pay such taxes or
     insurance premiums. Beneficiary, however,
     does not hold such reserve funds in trust for
     Trustor.
     
     9. The subparagraph on page 5 with the
heading "Taxes" is hereby amended in its entirety
and superseded by the following:

     for any reason, Borrower agrees to execute

     effective; provided that the Indebtedness or
     any portion thereof, remains unpaid at such
     time.
     
     By their signatures set forth below, Lender
and Trustor acknowledge and agree that this
Addendum shall be incorporated into and deemed to
