CROSS-GUARANTY
SECTION 9.01. Cross-Guaranty of Payment. Subject to Section 9.07
below, each Cross-Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally,
unconditionally guarantees to the Lender the prompt payment of all
Guaranteed Obligations of the other Borrowers in fall when due
(whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by
acceleration or otherwise) (the "Cross-Guaranty"). The Cross-
Guarantors additionally, jointly and severally, unconditionally
guarantee to the Lender the timely performance of all other
obligations of the other Borrowers under the Loan Documents. This
Cross-Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection and
is a continuing guaranty and shall apply to Guaranteed Obligations
whenever arising.
SECTION 9.02. Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the
Cross-Guarantors hereunder are absolute and unconditional,
irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or
enforceability of any of the Loan Documents, or any other
agreement or instrument referred to therein, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other
circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal
or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor. Each
Cross-Guarantor agrees that this Cross-Guaranty may be enforced by
the Lender without necessity at any time of resorting to or
exhausting any other security or collateral and without the
necessity at any time of having recourse to the Notes, any other
of the Loan Documents or any collateral, if any, hereafter
securing the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, and each Cross-
Guarantor hereby waives the right to require the Lender to proceed
against the other Cross-Guarantors, Indemnitor or any other Person
(including a co-guarantor) or to require the Lender to pursue any
other remedy or enforce any other right. Each Cross-Guarantor
further agrees that it
8
shall have no right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or
contribution against the other Cross-Guarantors of the Guaranteed
Obligations for amounts paid under this Cross-Guaranty until such
time as the Lender has been paid in full, and no Person or
Governmental Authority shall have any right to request any return
or reimbursement of funds from the Lender in connection with
monies received under the Loan Documents. Each Cross-Guarantor
further agrees that nothing contained herein shall prevent the
Lender from suing on the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents
or foreclosing its security interest in or Lien on any collateral,
if any, securing Guaranteed Obligations or from exercising any
other rights available to them under this Agreement, the Notes,
any other of the Loan Documents, or other instrument of security,
if any, and the exercise of any of the aforesaid rights and the
completion of any foreclosure proceedings shall not constitute a
discharge of any of any Cross-Guarantor's obligations hereunder;
it being the purpose and intent of each Cross-Guarantor that its
obligations hereunder shall be absolute, independent and
unconditional under any and all circumstances. Neither any of the
Cross-Guarantors' obligations under this Cross-Guaranty nor any
remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified,
changed or released in any manner whatsoever by an impairment,
modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of
the Borrowers or by reason of the bankruptcy or insolvency of any
of the Borrowers. Each Cross-Guarantor waives any and all notice
of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the
Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the
Lender upon this Cross-Guaranty or acceptance of this Cross-
Guaranty. The Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall
conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or
incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance
upon this Cross-Guaranty. All dealings between the Borrowers and
the Lender shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or
consummated in reliance upon this Cross-Guaranty. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the Cross-Guarantors shall have
the right to assert any valid defenses of the Borrowers to any
claim by the Lender for payment under the Cross-Guaranty.
SECTION 9.03. Modifications. Each Cross-Guarantor agrees that: (a)
all or any part of the security now or hereafter held for the
Guaranteed Obligations, if any, may be exchanged, compromised or
surrendered from time to time ; (b) the Lender shall not have any
obligation to protect, perfect, secure or insure any such security
interests, Liens or encumbrances now or hereafter held, if any,
for the Guaranteed Obligations or the properties subject thereto;
(c) the time or place of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations may
be changed or extended, in whole or in part, to a time certain or
otherwise, and may be renewed or accelerated, in whole or in part;
(d) the Borrowers and any other party liable for payment under the
Loan Documents may be granted indulgences generally; (e) any of
the provisions of the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents may
be modified, amended or waived; (any party (including any co-
guarantor) liable for the payment thereof may be granted
indulgences or be released; and (g) any deposit balance for the
credit of the
9
Borrowers or any other party liable for the payment of the
Guaranteed Obligations or liable upon any security therefor may be
released, in whole or in part, at, before or after the stated,
extended or accelerated maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations,
all without notice to or further assent by such Cross-Guarantor,
which shall remain bound thereon, notwithstanding any such
exchange, compromise, surrender, extension, renewal, acceleration,
modification, indulgence or release.
SECTION 9.04. Waiver of Rights. Each Cross-Guarantor expressly
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (a)
notice of acceptance of this Cross-Guaranty by the Lender and of
all extensions of credit to the Borrowers by the Lender; (b)
presentment and demand for payment or performance of any of the
Guaranteed Obligations; (c) protest and notice of dishonor or of
default (except as specifically required in this Agreement) with
respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or with respect to any
security therefor; (d) notice of the Lender obtaining, amending,
substituting for, releasing, waiving or modifying any security
interest, Lien or encumbrance, if any, hereafter securing the
Guaranteed Obligations, or the Lender subordinating, compromising,
discharging or releasing such security interests, Liens or
encumbrances, if any; (e) all other notices to which such Cross-
Guarantor might otherwise be entitled; and (demand for payment
under this Cross-Guaranty. In addition, each Cross-Guarantor
agrees to the waivers set forth in Addendum A hereto, which is
incorporated herein by reference, mutadis mutandis, with the same
force and effect as if herein fully set forth.
SECTION 9.05. Reinstatement. The obligations of the Cross
Guarantors under this Article IX shall be automatically reinstated
if and to the extent that, for any reason, any payment by or on
behalf of any Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is
rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of
the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings
in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and each Cross-
Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify the Lender on demand for
all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable fees of counsel) incurred by the Lender in connection
with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and
expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that
such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or
similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.
SECTION 9.06. Remedies. The Cross-Guarantors agree that, as
between the Cross-Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Lender, on
the other hand, the Guaranteed Obligations may be declared to be
forthwith due and payable as provided in Article VI (and shall be
deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the
circumstances provided in Article VI) notwithstanding any stay,
injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or
preventing such Guaranteed Obligations from becoming automatically
due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the
event of such declaration (or such Guaranteed Obligations being
deemed to have
10
become automatically due and payable), such Guaranteed Obligations
(whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall
forthwith become due and payable by the Cross-Guarantors.
SECTION 9.07. Limitation of Cross-Guaranty. Notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other
Loan Documents, to the extent the obligations of any Cross-
Guarantor shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for
any reason (including, without limitation, because of any
applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances
or transfers), then the obligations of such Cross-Guarantor
hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is
permissible under applicable law (whether federal or state and
including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code)."
5. Specified Repairs. From and after the Effective Date Section
3.01(d)(xvi) of the Original Credit Agreement shall be amended and
restated in its entirety as follows :
"(xvi) On the Closing Date, the Lender shall disburse a portion of
the Loan proceeds equal to the amount needed to complete the
Specified Repairs into a separate escrow account of the Lender.
Such escrow account shall be an interest bearing account and
Borrower shall have the right to have an amount released from such
escrow account equal to the amount allocated for a Specified
Repair upon a written request to the Lender accompanied by
reasonable evidence of completion of such Specified Repair. Until
the funds in such escrow account are released, they shall
constitute additional security for the Loan. So long as no Event
of Default has occurred that has not been waived and is
continuing, Lender shall, to the extent funds are available for
such purpose in the escrow account, disburse to Grantor any
amounts requested by Grantor for such Specified Repairs provided,
that (i) such expenditures for such Specified Repairs are
consistent with the use of the Property as a Health Care Facility,
and (ii) Grantor delivers to Lender all invoices, receipts or
other evidence satisfactory to Lender, verifying the cost of
performing such Specified Repairs. Upon the reasonable request of
Lender, Grantor shall deliver to Lender a certification from an
inspecting architect or other third party acceptable to Lender
describing the completed portion of the Specified Repairs with
respect to which the disbursement request has been made and
verifying the completion of the Specified Repairs and that the
cost of the such Specified Repairs does not substantially vary
from the budgeted amount. "
6. Origination Fee. In consideration of the Lender's commitment to
make the Additional Loan pursuant to the terms of this Amendment
and the Credit Agreement, EIII shall pay to the Lender on the date
hereof an origination fee (the "Additional Origination Fee") in
the aggregate amount of FORTY-TWO THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED AND
11
NO/100 DOLLARS ($42,500.00). The Lender, at its option, may
collect the Origination Fee through reduction of the Additional
Loan proceeds by an amount equal to the Additional Origination
Fee. The amount of the Additional Origination Fee represents an
amount equal to one-half of one percent (0.50%) of the principal
amount of the Additional Loan made in connection with the
Puyallup, Washington facility. The Lender agrees and acknowledges
that with respect to the Concorde, Nevada facility, it received
the Origination Fee in connection with such property at the time
of entering into the Original Credit Agreement.
7. Representations and Warranties. EIII, as a Borrower, hereby
makes each of the representations and warranties set forth in
Section 4.01 of the Original Credit Agreement, therein as if fully
set forth herein. With respect to Section 4.01(mm), the Effective
Capacity of the Additional Properties is a set forth in Schedule D
hereto.

the Cross-Guaranty shall be deemed to have been entered into as of
the Effective Date, and the deficiency rights in Chapter 295,
Section 12, Washington Laws of 1998 shall apply to the Cross-
Guaranty."
9. Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of
this Amendment, nor consent to any departure by any Borrower
therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall
be in writing and signed by the Lender, and then such waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for
the specific purpose for which given.
10. Binding Effect. This Amendment shall become effective when it
shall have been executed by the Borrowers and the Lender and
thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
Borrowers and the Lender and their respective successors and
assigns, except that none of the Borrowers shall have the right to
assign their respective rights hereunder or any interest herein
without the prior written consent of the Lender.
11. Execution in Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in
any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in
separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be
deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall
constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment by telecopier
shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart
of this Amendment.
12. Jurisdiction, Etc. (a) Each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its
property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York state
court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in
New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any
action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Amendment
or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the
parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that
all claims in respect of any
12
such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such
New York state court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such
federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final
judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and
may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or
in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Amendment
shall affect any right that any party may otherwise have to bring
any action or proceeding relating to this Amendment.
(b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally
waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do
so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying
of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Amendment to which it is a party in any New York
state or federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the
defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action
or proceeding in any such court.
13. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
14. Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW,
EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL
BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED
ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
AMENDMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF THE LENDER IN THE NEGOTIATION,
ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF.
15. Severability. If any provision of this Amendment or
application to any party or circumstance shall be determined by
any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid and
unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Amendment or
the application of such provision to such person or circumstances,
other than those as to which it is so determined invalid or
unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each provision
hereof shall be valid and shall be enforced to the fullest extent
permitted by law.
16. Full Force and Effect. Except as modified herein, all terms
and conditions of the Original Credit Agreement shall remain in
full force and effect, which terms and conditions the Lender and
the Borrowers hereby ratify and affirm.

debtor; (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, all rights
and benefits under Section 2809 of the California Civil Code
purporting to reduce a guarantor's obligations in proportion to
the principal obligation; (iii) to the fullest extent permitted by
law, all rights and benefits under (A) Section 580a of the
California Code of Civil Procedure purporting to limit the amount
of any deficiency judgment which might be recoverable following
the occurrence of a trustee's sale under a deed of trust and any
right to a fair value hearing or any fair value limitation or
other limitation on liability or a deficiency based upon the fair
value of any collateral after a non-judicial foreclosure of the
applicable security instrument, (B) Section 580b of the California
Code of Civil Procedure stating that no deficiency may be
recovered on a real property purchase money obligation, (C)
Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure stating
that no deficiency may be recovered on a note secured by a deed of
trust on real property in case such real property is sold under
the power of sale contained in such deed of trust, and (D) Section
726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure stating that there
may be but one form of action on an indebtedness secured by real
property, if such sections, or any of them, have any application
hereto or any application to the Cross-Guarantors; (iv) all rights
and benefits which might otherwise be available to the undersigned
under California Civil Code Sections 2810, 2819, 2839, 2845, 2849,
2850, 2899, and 3433; and (v) any rights arising under Section
359.5 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.
(b) In addition, each Cross-Guarantor hereby waives all rights and
defenses that the Cross-Guarantors may have because the principal
debtor's obligations are secured by real property. This means,
among other things: (i) the Lender may collect from the Cross
Guarantors without first foreclosing on all real or personal
property collateral pledged by principal debtor; (ii) if the
Lender forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by the
principal debtor: (a) the amount of the debt may be reduced only
by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure
sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price,
and/or (b) the Lender may collect from the Cross-Guarantors even
if the Lender, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has
destroyed any right the Cross-Guarantors may have to collect from
the principal debtor. This is an unconditional and irrevocable
waiver of any rights and defenses the Cross-Guarantors may have
because the principal debtor's debt is secured by real property.
These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any
rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of
the California Code of Civil Procedure. The Cross-Guarantors each
hereby waive all rights and defenses arising out of an election of
remedies by the Lender, even though that election of remedies,
such as a non-judicial foreclosure with respect to security for a
guaranteed obligation, has destroyed the Cross-Guarantors' rights
of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by the
operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil
Procedure or otherwise.
