As of September 30, 2005, the Company’s operations consist of 57 facilities, including 43 nursing homes with 4,503 licensed beds and 14 assisted living facilities with 987 units.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The interim consolidated financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management of the Company, the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position at September 30, 2005 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. The Company’s consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2004 was taken from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2004.
The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for a full year. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in connection with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that Advocat will continue as a going concern. Although the Company reported net income from continuing operations of $12.2 million and $8.3 million in the nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, this income resulted partially from downward adjustments in the Company’s accrual for self-insured risks associated with the settlement of certain professional liability claims, as reported in Note 3 below. While these adjustments to the accrual resulted in reported income, they

did not generate cash because the accrual is not funded by the Company. The Company has recorded total liabilities for reported professional liability claims and estimates for incurred but unreported claims of $34.4 million as of September 30, 2005. The Company does not have the cash or available resources to pay these accrued professional liability claims or any significant portion thereof. The ultimate payments on professional liability claims accrued as of September 30, 2005, or other claims that could be incurred during 2005, could require in the future cash resources that would be in excess of the Company’s available cash or other resources.
The Company has limited resources available to meet its operating, capital expenditure and debt service requirements during 2005. The Company has a net working capital deficit of $46.2 million as of September 30, 2005. The Company has $35.1 million of scheduled debt maturities (including short term debt, settlement promissory notes and current portions of long term debt) during the next twelve months, and is in default of certain debt covenants contained in debt agreements.
The Company is also not in compliance with certain lease and debt agreements, including financial covenants and other obligations, that allow the holders of substantially all of the Company’s debt to demand immediate repayment. Although the Company does not anticipate that such demands will be made, the continued forbearance on the part of the Company’s lenders cannot be assured. If the Company’s lenders force immediate repayment, the Company would not be able to repay the related debt outstanding. Accordingly, the Company has classified the related debt principal amounts as current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2005. Of the total $35.1 million of scheduled debt maturities (including short term debt and current portions of long term debt) during the next twelve months, the Company intends to repay approximately $4 million from cash generated from operations and will attempt to refinance the remaining balance. Given that events of default exist under the Company’s working capital line of credit, there can be no assurance that the lender will continue to provide working capital advances. Events of default under the Company’s debt agreements could lead to additional events of default under the Company’s lease agreements covering a majority of its nursing facilities. A default in the related lease agreements allows the lessor the right to terminate the lease agreements and assume operating rights with respect to the leased properties. The net book value of property and equipment, including leasehold improvements, related to these facilities total approximately $4.6 million as of September 30, 2005. A default in these lease agreements also allows the holder of the Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock the right to require the Company to redeem such stock.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (“CMS”) has issued the final rule for the refinement of the Resource Utilization Group (“RUG”) system and provides for the elimination of the reimbursement add-ons for high acuity patients. In addition, Congress has implemented a market basket adjustment of approximately 3.1% designed to increase reimbursement for the effects of inflation. The market basket adjustment became effective October 1, 2005, and will increase the Company’s revenue and operating cash flow by approximately $1.6 million annually. The eliminations of the add-ons and other offsetting adjustments will be effective January 1, 2006, and will decrease the Company’s revenue and operating cash flow by an estimated $2.5 million annually. It is estimated that the net effect of the CMS rule, once all adjustments are in effect, will be to reduce the Company’s revenue and operating cash flow by approximately $0.9 million per year.
Current Federal budget reconciliation discussions and draft legislation includes several provisions that could result in a reduction of Medicare reimbursement, including cross-over bad debt expense. If implemented, this provision may reduce the Company’s revenue and operating cash flow by approximately $800,000 per year, though the impact may be phased in over three years. However,

the ultimate impact of the reduction could be further impacted by additional reimbursement changes as states in which the Company operates react to the implementation of this change.
At a minimum, the Company’s cash requirements during 2005 include funding operations (including settlement payments related to professional liability and other claims), capital expenditures, scheduled debt service, and working capital requirements. No assurance can be given that the Company will have sufficient cash to meet these requirements. The independent registered public accounting firm’s report on the Company’s financial statements at December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 includes an explanatory paragraph concerning the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient cash flow from its operations, is unable to successfully negotiate debt or lease amendments, or is subject to a significant judgment not covered by insurance, the Company may have to explore a variety of other options, including but not limited to other sources of equity or debt financings, asset dispositions, or relief under the United States Bankruptcy Code. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset carrying amounts or the amounts of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
3. INSURANCE MATTERS
Professional Liability and Other Liability Insurance-
Due to the Company’s past claims experience and increasing cost of claims throughout the long-term care industry, the premiums paid by the Company for professional liability and other liability insurance to cover future periods exceeds the coverage purchased so that it costs more than $1 to purchase $1 of insurance coverage. For this reason, effective March 9, 2001, the Company has purchased professional liability insurance coverage for its United States nursing homes and assisted living facilities that, based on historical claims experience, is likely to be substantially less than the claims that are expected to be incurred. As a result, the Company is effectively self-insured and expects to remain so for the foreseeable future.
The Company has essentially exhausted all general and professional liability insurance available for claims first made during the period from March 9, 2001 through March 9, 2005. For claims made during the period from March 10, 2005 through March 9, 2006, the Company maintains insurance with coverage limits of $250,000 per medical incident and total aggregate policy coverage limits of $500,000. The Company is self-insured for the first $25,000 per occurrence with no aggregate limit.
For claims made during the period March 9, 2000 through March 9, 2001, the Company is self-insured for the first $500,000 per occurrence with no aggregate limit for the Company’s United States nursing homes. The policy has coverage limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence, $3,000,000 per location and $12,000,000 in the aggregate. The Company also maintains umbrella coverage of $15,000,000 in the aggregate for claims made during this period. As of September 30, 2005, payments already made by the insurance carrier for this policy year have reduced the remaining aggregate coverage amount.
Prior to March 9, 2000, the Company was insured on an occurrence basis. For the policy period January 1, 1998 through February 1, 1999 and for the policy period February 1, 1999 through March 9, 2000, the Company had insurance, including excess liability coverage, in the total amount of

11


Table of Contents

$50,000,000 per policy. As of September 30, 2005, payments already made by the insurance carriers for these policy years have significantly reduced the remaining aggregate coverage amount in each of the policy periods, but coverage has not been exhausted in either policy period.
Effective October 1, 2001, the Company’s United States assisted living properties were added to the Company’s insurance program for United States nursing home properties and are covered under the same policies as the Company’s nursing facilities. Prior to October 1, 2001, the Company’s United States assisted living facilities maintained occurrence based insurance and a $15,000,000 aggregate umbrella liability policy. As of September 30, 2005, payments already made by the insurance carriers have significantly reduced the remaining aggregate coverage, but coverage has not been exhausted.
Even for insured claims, the payment of professional liability claims by the Company’s insurance carriers is dependent upon the financial solvency of the individual carriers. The Company is aware that two of its insurance carriers providing coverage for prior years’ claims have either been declared insolvent or are currently under rehabilitation proceedings.
Reserve for Estimated Self-Insured Professional Liability Claims-
Because the Company anticipates that its actual liability for existing and anticipated claims will exceed the Company’s limited professional liability insurance coverage, the Company has recorded total liabilities for professional liability and other claims of $34.4 million as of September 30, 2005. This accrual includes estimates of liability for incurred but not reported claims, estimates of liability for reported but unresolved claims, actual liabilities related to settlements, including settlements to be paid over time, and estimates of legal costs related to these claims. The Company does not have cash or available resources to pay these accrued professional liability claims or any significant portion thereof.
The Company records its estimated liability for these professional liability claims based on the results of a third-party actuarial analysis. Each quarter, amounts are added to the accrual for estimates of anticipated liability for claims incurred during that period. These estimates are assessed and adjusted quarterly as claims are actually reported, as lawsuits are filed, and as those actions are actually resolved. As indicated by the chart of reserves by policy year set forth below, final determination of the Company’s actual liability for claims incurred in any given period is a process that takes years. At each quarter end, the Company records any revisions in estimates and differences between actual settlements and reserves, with changes in estimated losses being recorded in the consolidated statements of operations in the period identified. Any increase in the accrual decreases income in the period, and any reduction in the accrual increases income during the period. Although the Company retains a third-party actuarial firm to assist management in estimating the appropriate accrual for these claims, professional liability claims are inherently uncertain, and the liability associated with anticipated claims is very difficult to estimate. As a result, the Company’s actual liabilities may vary significantly from the accrual, and the amount of the accrual has and may continue to fluctuate by a material amount in any given quarter. Each change in the amount of this accrual will directly affect the Company’s reported earnings and financial position for the period in which the change in accrual is made.
In the nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company reported net income from continuing operations of $12.2 million and $8.3 million, respectively, resulting partially from downward adjustments in the Company’s accrual for self-insured risks associated with professional liability claims. These adjustments were primarily the result of the effects of settlements of certain

12


Table of Contents

claims for amounts less than had been reserved for in prior periods and the resulting effect of these settlements on the assumptions inherent to the actuarial estimate. These downward adjustments more than offset the accrual for claims arising and expected to arise from events occurring during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. While each quarterly adjustment to the recorded liability for professional liability claims affects reported income, these changes do not directly affect the Company’s cash position because the accrual for these liabilities is not funded. The Company does not have cash or available resources to pay these accrued professional liability claims or any significant portion thereof. In the event a significant judgment is entered against the Company in one or more legal actions in which there is no or insufficient professional liability insurance, the Company anticipates that payment of the judgment amounts would require cash resources that would be in excess of the Company’s available cash or other resources. Any such judgment could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position and cash flows.
The following summarizes the Company’s accrual for professional liability and other claims for each policy year as of the end of the period:

Other Insurance-
With respect to workers’ compensation insurance, substantially all of the Company’s employees became covered under either an indemnity insurance plan or state-sponsored programs in May 1997. Prior to that time, the Company was self-insured for the first $250,000, on a per claim basis, for workers’ compensation claims in a majority of its United States nursing facilities. However, the insurance carrier providing coverage above the Company’s self insured retention has been declared insolvent by the applicable state insurance agency. As a result, the Company is completely self-insured for workers compensation exposures prior to May 1997. The Company has been and remains a non-subscriber to the Texas workers’ compensation system and is, therefore, completely self-insured for employee injuries with respect to its Texas operations. For the policy period July 1, 2002 through June 30, 2003, the Company entered into a “high deductible” workers compensation insurance program covering the majority of the Company’s United States employees. Under the high deductible policy, the Company is self insured for the first $25,000 per claim, subject to an aggregate maximum out of pocket cost of $1.6 million, for the 12 month policy period. The Company has a letter of credit of $0.4 million securing its self insurance obligations under this program. The letter of credit is secured by a certificate of deposit of $0.4 million, which is included in “restricted cash” in the accompanying balance sheet. The reserve for the high deductible policy is based on known claims incurred and an estimate of incurred but not reported claims determined by an analysis of historical claims incurred. The Company has provided reserves for the settlement of outstanding self-insured claims at amounts believed to be adequate. The liability recorded by the Company for the self-insured obligations under these plans is $0.6 million as of September 30, 2005.

Table of Contents

Effective June 30, 2003, the Company entered into new workers compensation insurance programs that provide coverage for claims incurred, with premium adjustments depending on incurred losses. The Company accounts for premium expense under these policies based on its estimate of the level of claims expected to be incurred. As of September 30, 2005, the Company has recorded estimated premium refunds due under these programs totaling approximately $3.4 million, with $1.3 million included in “prepaid expenses and other current assets” and the balance included in “other noncurrent assets” in the accompanying balance sheet, based upon expected settlement dates. Any adjustments of future premiums for workers compensation policies and differences between actual settlements and reserves for self-insured obligations are included in expense in the period finalized.
The Company is self-insured for health insurance benefits for certain employees and dependents for amounts up to $150,000 per individual annually. The Company provides reserves for the settlement of outstanding self-insured health claims at amounts believed to be adequate. The liability for reported claims and estimates for incurred but unreported claims is $2.0 million at September 30, 2005. The differences between actual settlements and reserves are included in expense in the period finalized.
4. ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
The Company follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income.” SFAS No. 130 requires the reporting of comprehensive income in addition to net income. Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income. Information with respect to the accumulated other comprehensive income balance is presented below:

Positive balances represent unrealized gains.
5. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” encourages, but does not require, companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value. The Company has chosen to continue to account for stock based compensation using the intrinsic value method as prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and the related Interpretations (all herein referred to as “APB No. 25”). Under APB No. 25, no compensation cost related to stock options has been recognized because all options are issued with exercise prices equal to the fair market value at the date of grant. Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock-based compensation plans been determined consistent

with SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net income for common stock and net income per common share for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 would not have differed materially from the amounts actually reported.
6. RECLASSIFICATIONS
As discussed in Note 8, the consolidated financial statements of the Company have been reclassified to reflect as discontinued operations certain divestitures and lease terminations.
7. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company has two reportable segments: nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Management evaluates each of these segments independently due to the reimbursement, marketing, and regulatory differences between the segments. As discussed in Note 8, the Company has made several divestitures, and the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to report the divestitures as discontinued operations.
Management evaluates performance based on income or loss from operations before income taxes not including asset impairments and other charges. Interest expense is deducted in the determination of segment operating income (loss). The following information is derived from the Company’s segments’ internal financial statements and includes information related to the Company’s unallocated corporate revenues and expenses:

8. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In February 2005, the Company sold two nursing homes in Texas that were operating with low occupancy and experiencing operating losses. The net proceeds from the transactions were approximately $375,000. In periods prior to the sale, the Company had recorded impairment provisions and reduced the property to its estimated realizable value, and no significant gain or loss was realized on the transactions.
A lease for three nursing homes in Texas expired in December 2004 and was not renewed. The Company participated in an orderly transition of the operations at the facilities to the new owner.
In November 2004, the Company sold certain assets of its medical supply business, Advocat Distribution Services. The initial purchase price was $225,000, with additional consideration based on the results of operations of the business over the two years following the sale. No material gain or loss was realized from the initial proceeds. The Company received approximately $39,000 of additional consideration in 2005 and recorded an additional gain in this amount. Any additional consideration received in the future under the terms of the agreement will be recorded when determined.
In October 2004, the Company sold an assisted living facility in North Carolina that had been closed in 2003. The net proceeds were approximately $60,000 and there was no significant gain or loss resulting from the sale.
In May 2004, the Company sold the stock of its Canadian subsidiary DCMS to DCMS Holding, Inc., a privately-owned Ontario corporation. DCMS operated 14 nursing homes and 24 assisted living facilities in the Canadian provinces of Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta. The sales price was $16.5 million Canadian (approximately $11.8 million US at the May 11, 2004 exchange rate). Approximately $8.5 million Canadian ($6.1 million US) was received at closing, with the balance, $8.0 million Canadian ($5.7 million US), scheduled to be received in annual installments of $600,000 Canadian ($428,000 US) on the anniversary of the closing for the first four years and a final installment of $5.6 million Canadian ($4.0 million US) on the fifth anniversary of closing. The future payments may be accelerated upon the occurrences of certain events. The installment portion of the purchase price is evidenced by a promissory note that has been discounted to estimated fair value and was initially recorded in the accompanying balance sheet at $4.7 million US. The Company received the first installment under this note in May 2005.

Proceeds from each of these divestiture transactions were used to pay transaction costs and repay debt. Each of these facilities and businesses constitute components under the provisions of SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” and, accordingly, the Company has reclassified the operations and disposed property of each of these components as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

10. FINANCING TRANSACTIONS
In April 2005, the Company entered into an agreement to extend the maturities of certain borrowings from a bank lender, including the Company’s working capital line of credit, that had an aggregate outstanding balance of $7.8 million at March 31, 2005. The new agreement extended the maturity date of these borrowings to January 29, 2006 and reduced the maximum amount available under the working capital line of credit to $2.3 million. The bank further agreed to temporarily forbear from exercising its remedies upon default subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the amendment. The interest rate on indebtedness other than the working capital line was revised to prime rate plus 1/2% up to a maximum of 7.5%, and the interest rate on the working capital line of credit remained unchanged at either LIBOR plus 2.5% or the bank’s prime rate plus 1/2% (up to a maximum of 9.5%). In connection with this transaction, a $250,000 certificate of deposit has been pledged as collateral for certain funds transfer services used by the Company. This amount is included in “restricted cash” in the accompanying balance sheet.

In April 2005, the Company entered into an agreement with a commercial mortgage lender to refinance certain loans secured by one nursing home. The financing agreement provided $3.7 million in financing, payable in monthly installments based on a twenty-five year amortization, with a final balloon payment in 2008, and bears interest at LIBOR plus 4%.
In May 2005, the Company entered into an agreement to extend the maturities of certain borrowings from a commercial mortgage lender. Under terms of the agreement, the lender agreed to extend the maturity dates of mortgage indebtedness with an aggregate outstanding balance of approximately $23.6 million to April 1, 2006. The interest rate and other terms of the indebtedness did not change.
In August 2005, the Company purchased a 120-bed skilled nursing facility in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The Company had operated this facility since 1990 under a lease agreement that was to expire in February 2006. The Company purchased the nursing home for approximately $6.7 million with financing provided by a commercial finance company. The financing agreement provided $8.0 million in financing, payable in monthly installments based on a twenty-five year amortization, with a final balloon payment in 2008, and bears interest at LIBOR plus 4%. Proceeds from this loan were used to fund the acquisition and related transaction costs and to retire other debt.
11. LEASE AGREEMENTS WITH OMEGA
Pursuant to the October 2000 restructuring of its master lease agreement with Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. (“Omega”), Omega and the Company entered into an agreement with regard to two facilities formerly leased by the Company from a third party. Under this agreement, Omega agreed to pay the Company 20% of any sales proceeds received on the sale of the properties. In April 2005, Omega sold these buildings and paid the Company $780,000 pursuant to this agreement. The Company has recorded these proceeds as a reduction of the deferred lease costs incurred in connection with the restructured master lease.
In June 2005, the Company entered into an amendment of the master lease with Omega. The amendment provides financing of up to $5 million to be used to fund renovations to several nursing home facilities leased from Omega. The annual base rent related to these facilities will be increased to reflect the amount of capital improvements made to the respective facilities.
The amendment also included provisions to amend certain professional liability insurance requirements of the master lease agreement in order to cure certain defaults under the master lease agreement.
The Company leases four nursing home facilities in Florida that are subject to mortgages held by Omega. The Company makes the lease payments directly to Omega. The leases expire December 31, 2005. The Company and Omega have reached agreement in principle on an extension of these leases through February 2010, but are still working on the extension agreement.

During 2005, the Company completed an evaluation of the effect of change in ownership provisions of the Federal tax code on its net operating loss carryforwards, and determined that its net operating losses are limited by these provisions. At December 31, 2004, losses totaling $12.4 million are limited by these change in ownership provisions, and their usage is limited to a maximum of approximately $8.0 million. These losses expire at various dates beginning in 2019 and continuing through 2021. At December 31, 2004, the Company had $8.3 million of net operating losses that are not subject to these limitations, which expire at various dates beginning in 2021 and continuing through 2023. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the benefits of these loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets, the Company has established a full valuation allowance against such tax assets.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
Advocat Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “Advocat” or the “Company”) provides long-term care services to nursing home patients and residents of assisted living facilities in nine states, primarily in the Southeast. The Company’s facilities provide a range of health care services to their patients and residents. In addition to the nursing, personal care and social services usually provided in long-term care facilities, the Company offers a variety of comprehensive rehabilitation services as well as nutritional support services.
As of September 30, 2005, the Company’s operations include 57 facilities, consisting of 43 nursing homes with 4,503 licensed beds and 14 assisted living facilities with 987 units. As of September 30, 2005, the Company owns 9 nursing homes and leases 34 others, and owns 12 assisted living facilities and leases 2 others.
Divestitures. The Company has completed several divestitures through sale of assets and lease terminations. The Company sold two nursing homes in Texas effective February 1, 2005. A lease covering three nursing homes in Texas expired in December 2004 and was not renewed. In November 2004, the Company sold certain assets of its medical supply business, Advocat Distribution Services. In May 2004, the Company sold the stock of its Canadian subsidiary, Diversicare Canada Management Services Co., Inc. (“DCMS”).
Basis of Financial Statements. The Company’s patient and resident revenues consist of the fees charged for the care of patients in the nursing homes and residents of the assisted living facilities owned and leased by the Company. The Company’s operating expenses include the costs, other than lease, interest, depreciation and amortization expenses, incurred in the operation of the nursing homes and assisted living facilities owned and leased by the Company. The Company’s general and administrative expenses consist of the costs of the corporate office and regional support functions. The Company’s depreciation, amortization and interest expenses include all such expenses across the range of the Company’s operations.
Fluctuations in Earnings or Losses. In the nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company reported net income from continuing operations of $12.2 million and $8.3 million, respectively, resulting partially from downward adjustments in the Company’s accrual for self-insured risks associated with professional liability claims. While these adjustments to the accrual resulted in reported income, they did not generate cash because the accrual is not funded by the Company. These self-insurance reserves are assessed on a quarterly basis, with changes in estimated losses being recorded in the consolidated statements of operations in the period identified. Any increase in the accrual decreases income in the period, and any reduction in the accrual increases income during the period. The Company’s actual liabilities may vary significantly from the accrual, and the amount of the accrual has and may continue to fluctuate by a material amount in any given quarter. Each change in the amount of this accrual will directly affect the Company’s reported earnings and financial position for the period in which the change in accrual is made.

Critical Accounting Policies and Judgments
A “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the understanding of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments often of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company’s accounting policies that fit this definition include the following:
Revenues
Patient and Resident Revenues
The fees charged by the Company to patients in its nursing homes and residents in its assisted living facilities include fees with respect to individuals receiving benefits under federal and state-funded cost reimbursement programs. These revenues are based on approved rates for each facility that are either based on current costs with retroactive settlements or prospective rates with no cost settlement. Amounts earned under federal and state programs with respect to nursing home patients are subject to review by the third-party payors. In the opinion of management, adequate provision has been made for any adjustments that may result from such reviews. Final cost settlements, if any, are recorded when objectively determinable, generally within three years of the close of a reimbursement year depending upon the timing of appeals and third-party settlement reviews or audits.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated utilizing current agings of accounts receivable, historical collections data and other factors. Management monitors these factors and determines the estimated provision for doubtful accounts. Historical bad debts have generally resulted from uncollectible private balances, some uncollectible coinsurance and deductibles and other factors. Receivables that are deemed to be uncollectible are written off. The allowance for doubtful accounts balance is assessed on a quarterly basis, with changes in estimated losses being recorded in the consolidated statements of operations in the period identified.
Self-Insurance Reserves
Self-insurance reserves primarily represent the accrual for self insured risks associated with general and professional liability claims, employee health insurance and workers compensation. The self insurance reserves include estimates of liability for incurred but not reported claims, estimates of liability for reported but unresolved claims, actual liabilities related to settlements, including settlements to be paid over time, and estimates of legal costs incurred and expected to be incurred. The Company’s policy with respect to a significant portion of the general and professional liability claims is to use a third-party actuary to support the estimates recorded for the development of known claims and incurred but unreported claims. The Company’s health insurance reserve is based on known claims incurred and an estimate of incurred but unreported claims determined by an analysis of historical claims paid. The Company’s workers compensation reserve relates to periods of self insurance prior to May 1997 and a high deductible policy issued July 1, 2002 through June 30, 2003 covering most of the Company’s employees in the United States. The reserve for workers compensation self insurance prior to May 1997

21


Table of Contents

consists only of known claims incurred and the reserve is based on an estimate of the future costs to be incurred for the known claims. The reserve for the high deductible policy issued July 1, 2002 is based on known claims incurred and an estimate of incurred but not reported claims determined by an analysis of historical claims incurred. Expected insurance coverages are reflected as a reduction of the reserves.
Because the Company anticipates that its actual liability for existing and anticipated claims will exceed the Company’s limited professional liability insurance coverage, the Company has recorded total liabilities for reported professional liability claims and estimates for incurred but unreported claims of $34.4 million as of September 30, 2005. The Company does not have cash or available resources to pay these accrued professional liability claims or any significant portion thereof.
The Company’s self insurance reserves are assessed on a quarterly basis based on currently available information, with changes in estimated losses and effects of settlements being recorded in the consolidated statements of operations in the period identified. The amounts recorded for professional and general liability claims are adjusted for revisions in estimates and differences between actual settlements and reserves as determined each period with changes in estimated losses being recorded in the consolidated statements of operations in the period identified. Any increase in the accrual decreases income in the period, and any reduction in the accrual increases income during the period.
The Company retains a third-party actuarial firm to estimate the appropriate accrual for incurred professional liability claims. The actuarial estimate represents the ultimate cost for all professional liability claims incurred in a period and includes estimates for both claims reported and claims incurred but not reported. All losses are projected on an undiscounted basis.
The Company provides the actuary information with regard to historical losses incurred by the Company for professional liability claims. The actuary uses losses covering a 10 year period as the basis for estimates. Based on this historical data, the actuary develops estimates of the average cost per claim and the frequency of claims per occupied bed. The average cost per claim includes legal and other expenses incurred. These averages are used to generate the initial estimate of the ultimate professional liability cost for a given period in relation to the Company’s occupancy for that period.
The actuary evaluates claims and potential claims incurred for periods beginning March 9, 2000. Prior to that time, the Company had adequate insurance in place to cover claims on a claims-incurred basis without significant uninsured risk to the Company. Beginning with the March 9, 2000 policy period, insurance coverage was on a claims made basis. See “Insurance - Professional Liability and Other Liability Insurance” for a description of the Company’s insurance coverage.
On a quarterly basis, as claims are reported and lawsuits filed, the Company obtains reports of claims incurred by the Company from insurers and a third party claims administrator. These reports contain information relevant to the liability actually incurred to date with that claim as well as the third-party administrator’s estimate of the anticipated total cost of the claim (this estimate is initially developed based on the third-party administrator’s initial review of the facts giving rise to the claim). This information is reviewed by management and provided to the actuary. The actuary uses this information to determine the timing of claims reporting and the

22


Table of Contents

development of reserves, and compares the information obtained to its original estimates of liability based on the average-frequency and cost-per-claim methodology. Based on the actual claim information obtained and on estimates regarding the number and cost of additional claims anticipated in the future, the reserve estimate for a particular period may be revised upward or downward on a quarterly basis. Thus, the accrual for older periods is determined by using currently-known information to adjust the initial reserve that was created almost exclusively by the “frequency times severity” methodology. For information regarding the amount of accrual by period, see “Insurance — Reserve for Estimated Self-Insured Professional Liability Claims.”
Any estimate of the Company’s exposure for professional liability claims is inherently uncertain. Some key factors that could lead to differences between amounts estimated and the ultimate amount of any loss are addressed below. One of the key assumptions in the actuarial analysis is that historical losses provide an accurate forecast of future losses. The loss data is developed from ten years of historical data, and includes losses incurred in periods with significant insurance coverage. The Company’s ability to pay may limit losses in periods of lower insurance or self insurance. The Company’s ability to pay in the future is not considered in the actuarial estimates. Changes in legislation such as tort reform may affect the severity and frequency of claims incurred in future periods. Changes in risk management practices may also affect the frequency of future claims.
Another key assumption is the limit of claims to a maximum of $4.5 million. The actuary has selected this limit based on the Company’s historical data. While most of the Company’s claims have been for amounts less than the $4.5 million, there have been claims at higher amounts, and there may be claims above this level in the future. The facts and circumstances of each claim vary significantly, and the amount of ultimate liability for an individual claim may vary due to many factors, including whether the case can be settled by agreement, the quality of legal representation, the individual jurisdiction in which the claim is pending, and the views of the particular judge or jury deciding the case. To date, the Company has not experienced an uninsured loss in excess of this limit. Management’s policy is to review the actuary report and assumptions each quarter. In the event that management believes it has incurred a loss in excess of this limit, an adjustment to the reserves determined by the actuary would be necessary.
Management believes that the use of actuarial methods described above provides a valid and reasonable method to estimate the Company’s liability for professional and general liability claims. Management also believes that expertise in actuarial methodologies is required to estimate liabilities using this methodology and thus employs a third-party actuary to provide this service. Because of the difficulties discussed above, any estimate of the Company’s professional liability claims is inherently uncertain; therefore, actual professional liability costs may differ materially from the accrual, regardless of the assumptions or methodology used. Professional liability costs are material to the Company’s financial position, and differences between estimates and the ultimate amount of loss may cause a material fluctuation in the Company’s reported results of operations. The liability recorded at September 30, 2005, was $34.4 million, compared to current assets of $27.5 million and total assets of $80.2 million. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company’s professional liability expense was a negative $4.8 million and a negative $2.2 million, respectively, representing net benefits resulting from downward revisions in previous estimates. These amounts are material in relation to the Company’s reported net income from continuing operations for the related nine month periods of $12.2 million and $8.3 million, respectively.

Table of Contents

While each quarterly adjustment to the recorded liability for professional liability claims affects reported income, these changes do not directly affect the Company’s cash position because the accrual for these liabilities is not funded. The Company does not have cash or available resources to pay these accrued professional liability claims or any significant portion thereof. In the event a significant judgment is entered against the Company in one or more of these legal actions in which there is no or insufficient professional liability insurance, the Company anticipates that payment of the judgment amounts would require cash resources that would be in excess of the Company’s available cash or other resources. Any such judgment could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position and cash flows.
Asset Impairment
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the Company evaluates the recoverability of the carrying values of its properties on a property by property basis. On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews its properties for recoverability when events or circumstances, including significant physical changes in the property, significant adverse changes in general economic conditions, and significant deteriorations of the underlying cash flows of the property, indicate that the carrying amount of the property may not be recoverable. The need to recognize an impairment is based on estimated future cash flows from a property compared to the carrying value of that property. If recognition of an impairment is necessary, it is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the property exceeds the fair value of the property.
Insurance
Professional Liability and Other Liability Insurance-
Due to the Company’s past claims experience and increasing cost of claims throughout the long-term care industry, the premiums paid by the Company for professional liability and other liability insurance to cover future periods exceeds the coverage purchased so that it costs more than $1 to purchase $1 of insurance coverage. For this reason, effective March 9, 2001, the Company has purchased professional liability insurance coverage for its United States nursing homes and assisted living facilities that, based on historical claims experience, is likely to be substantially less than the claims that are expected to be incurred. As a result, the Company is effectively self-insured and expects to remain so for the foreseeable future. See Note 3, “Insurance Matters.”
Reserve for Estimated Self-Insured Professional Liability Claims-
Because the Company anticipates that its actual liability for existing and anticipated claims will exceed the Company’s limited professional liability insurance coverage, the Company has recorded total liabilities for professional liability and other claims of $34.4 million as of September 30, 2005. This accrual includes estimates of liability for incurred but not reported claims, estimates of liability for reported but unresolved claims, actual liabilities related to settlements, including settlements to be paid over time, and estimates of legal costs related to these claims. The Company does not have cash or available resources to pay these accrued professional liability claims or any significant portion thereof. See “Critical Accounting Policy and Judgments – Self Insurance Reserves.”

Other Insurance-
With respect to workers’ compensation insurance, substantially all of the Company’s employees became covered under either an indemnity insurance plan or state-sponsored programs in May 1997. Prior to that time, the Company was self-insured for the first $250,000, on a per claim basis, for workers’ compensation claims in a majority of its United States nursing facilities. However, the insurance carrier providing coverage above the Company’s self insured retention has been declared insolvent by the applicable state insurance agency. As a result, the Company is completely self-insured for workers compensation exposures prior to May 1997. The Company has been and remains a non-subscriber to the Texas workers’ compensation system and is, therefore, completely self-insured for employee injuries with respect to its Texas operations. For the policy period July 1, 2002 through June 30, 2003, the Company entered into a “high deductible” workers compensation insurance program covering the majority of the Company’s United States employees. Under the high deductible policy, the Company is self insured for the first $25,000 per claim, subject to an aggregate maximum out of pocket cost of $1.6 million, for the 12 month policy period. The Company has a letter of credit of $0.4 million securing its self insurance obligations under this program. The letter of credit is secured by a certificate of deposit of $0.4 million, which is included in “restricted cash” in the accompanying balance sheet. The reserve for the high deductible policy is based on known claims incurred and an estimate of incurred but not reported claims determined by an analysis of historical claims incurred. The Company has provided reserves for the settlement of outstanding self-insured claims at amounts believed to be adequate. The liability recorded by the Company for the self-insured obligations under these plans is $0.6 million as of September 30, 2005.
Effective June 30, 2003, the Company entered into new workers compensation insurance programs that provide coverage for claims incurred, with premium adjustments depending on incurred losses. The Company accounts for premium expense under these policies based on its estimate of the level of claims expected to be incurred. As of September 30, 2005, the Company has recorded estimated premium refunds due under these programs totaling approximately $3.4 million, with $1.3 million included in “prepaid expenses and other current assets” and the balance included in “other noncurrent assets” in the accompanying balance sheet, based upon expected settlement dates. Any adjustments of future premiums for workers compensation policies and differences between actual settlements and reserves for self-insured obligations are included in expense in the period finalized.
The Company is self-insured for health insurance benefits for certain employees and dependents for amounts up to $150,000 per individual annually. The Company provides reserves for the settlement of outstanding self-insured health claims at amounts believed to be adequate. The liability for reported claims and estimates for incurred but unreported claims is $2.0 million at September 30, 2005. The differences between actual settlements and reserves are included in expense in the period finalized.
Health Care Industry
The health care industry is subject to numerous laws and regulations of federal, state and local governments. These laws and regulations include, but are not necessarily limited to, matters such as licensure, accreditation, government health care program participation requirements, reimbursement for patient services, quality of resident care and Medicare and Medicaid fraud and abuse (collectively the “Health Care Laws”). Changes in these laws and regulations, such as changes in the reimbursement policies of Medicare and Medicaid programs as a result of budget cuts by federal and state governments, have had a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. Future federal budget legislation and federal and state regulatory changes may negatively impact the Company.

25


Table of Contents

Medicare Reimbursement-
During 1997, the federal government enacted the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (“BBA”), which has negatively impacted the entire long-term care industry. Since that time, certain amendments to the BBA were enacted, including the Balanced Budget Reform Act of 1999 (“BBRA”) and the Benefits Improvement and Protection Act of 2000 (“BIPA”) in an effort to provide some legislative relief to the negative impact of the BBA. However, there can be no assurances that payments from the Medicare program will remain at levels comparable to present levels or will, in the future, be sufficient to cover the costs allocable to Medicare patients. Any reduction in government spending for long-term health care would have an adverse effect on the operating results and cash flows of the Company.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (“CMS”) has issued the final rule for the refinement of the Resource Utilization Group (“RUG”) system and provides for the elimination of the reimbursement add-ons for high acuity patients. In addition, Congress has implemented a market basket adjustment of approximately 3.1% designed to increase reimbursement for the effects of inflation. The market basket adjustment became effective October 1, 2005, and will increase the Company’s revenue and operating cash flow by approximately $1.6 million annually. The eliminations of the add-ons and other offsetting adjustments will be effective January 1, 2006, and will decrease the Company’s revenue and operating cash flow by an estimated $2.5 million annually. It is estimated that the net effect of the CMS rule, once all adjustments are in effect, will be to reduce the Company’s revenue and operating cash flow by approximately $0.9 million per year.
Current Federal budget reconciliation discussions and draft legislation includes several provisions that could result in a reduction of Medicare reimbursement, including cross-over bad debt expense. If implemented, this provision may reduce the Company’s revenue and operating cash flow by approximately $800,000 per year, though the impact may be phased in over three years. However, the ultimate impact of the reduction could be further impacted by additional reimbursement changes as states in which the Company operates react to the implementation of this change.
Licensure and other Health Care Laws-
All of the Company’s facilities are required to obtain annual licensure renewal and are subject to annual surveys and inspections in order to be certified for participation in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. In order to maintain their state operating license and their certification for participation in Medicare and Medicaid programs, the nursing facilities must meet certain statutory and administrative requirements. These requirements relate to the condition of the facilities, the adequacy and condition of the equipment used therein, the quality and adequacy of personnel, and the quality of resident care. Such requirements are subjective and subject to change. There can be no assurance that, in the future, the Company will be able to maintain such licenses and certifications for its facilities or that the Company will not be required to expend significant sums in order to comply with regulatory requirements.
A 2003 fire at a skilled nursing facility in Tennessee with which the Company had no connection has caused legislators and others to focus on existing fire codes. In some instances these codes do not require that sprinklers be installed in all nursing facilities. Some of the Company’s facilities do not

26


Table of Contents

have sprinkler systems, although the Company expects to install or upgrade sprinklers in seven facilities over the next three years. While the Company works to comply with all applicable codes and to ensure that all mechanical systems are working properly, a fire or a failure of such systems at one or more of the Company’s facilities, or changes in applicable safety codes or in the requirements for such systems, could have a material adverse impact on the Company.
Over the last several years, state and federal government activity has increased with respect to investigations and allegations concerning possible violations by health care providers of fraud and abuse statutes and regulations, as well as of elder abuse statutes and regulations. Violations of these laws and regulations could result in exclusion from government health care programs together with the imposition of significant fines and penalties, as well as significant repayments for patient services previously billed. Compliance with such laws and regulations can be subject to future government review and interpretation as well as regulatory actions unknown or unasserted at this time. The Company is currently subject to certain ongoing claims and investigations, as described in Part II. Other Information – Item 1. Legal Proceedings. There can be no assurance that the Company will not be subject to other claims, investigations or allegations concerning possible violations by health care providers of fraud and abuse and elder abuse statutes and regulations. Any material fine, penalty or repayment obligation incurred as a result of a governmental investigation or claim or any limitation on the Company’s ability to participate in federal or state health care reimbursement programs imposed as a result of such an investigation or claim would have a material adverse impact upon the Company’s financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

Future cash obligations for interest expense have been excluded from the above table. The Company’s cash payments for interest were approximately $2.7 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, and $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.
The Company has employment agreements with certain members of management that provide for the payment to these members of amounts up to 2.5 times their annual salary in the event of a termination without cause, a constructive discharge (as defined), or upon a change of control of the Company (as defined). The maximum contingent liability under these agreements is approximately

27


Table of Contents

$1.1 million. The terms of such agreements are from one to three years and automatically renew for one year if not terminated by the employee or the Company. In addition, upon the occurrence of any triggering event, certain executives may elect to require the Company to purchase options granted to them for a purchase price equal to the difference in the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the date of termination versus the stated option exercise price.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2005 Compared With Three Months Ended September 30, 2004
As noted in the overview, the Company has entered into several divestiture and lease termination transactions in recent periods, and the consolidated financial statements of the Company have been reclassified to present such transactions as discontinued operations. Accordingly, the related revenue, expenses, assets, liabilities and cash flows have been reported separately, and the discussion below addresses principally the results of the Company’s continuing operations.
Revenues. Net revenues increased to $54.5 million in 2005 from $51.7 million in 2004, an increase of $2.8 million, or 5.3%. Patient revenues increased to $51.3 million in 2005 from $48.6 million in 2004, an increase of $2.7 million, or 5.4%. The increase in patient revenues is due to Medicare rate increases that became effective October 1, 2004, increased Medicare utilization, increased Medicaid rates in certain states and a 0.7% increase in census in 2005 as compared to 2004. As a percentage of total census, Medicare days increased to 13.0% in 2005 from 12.8% in 2004. Medicare revenues were 29.5% of patient revenue in 2005 and 28.5% in 2004, while Medicaid and similar programs were 58.2% in 2005 compared to 60.4% in 2004.
Resident revenues increased to $3.2 million in 2005 from $3.1 million in 2004, an increase of $0.1 million, or 3.7%. This increase is attributable to increased rates in 2005 as compared to 2004 and to a 2.1% increase in census in 2005 as compared to 2004.
Ancillary service revenues, prior to contractual allowances, increased to $10.9 million in 2005 from $8.9 million in 2004, an increase of $2.0 million, or 22.3%. The increase is primarily attributable to increased utilization of ancillary service programs. Certain per person annual Medicare reimbursement limits on therapy services have been suspended until December 31, 2005. The limits impose a $1,590 per patient annual ceiling on physical, speech and occupational therapy services. Current Federal budget reconciliation discussions and draft legislation by Congress includes a provision for an additional one year deferral of this provision, delaying implementation of this rule until January 1, 2007. The Company is unable to quantify the impact that these limitations will have. However, it is expected that the reimbursement limitations, if implemented, will reduce therapy revenues, and negatively impact the Company’s operating results and cash flows.
Operating expense. Operating expense increased to $42.8 million in 2005 from $40.3 million in 2004, an increase of $2.5 million, or 6.2%. As a percentage of patient and resident revenues, operating expense increased to 78.5% in 2005 from 77.9% in 2004. The increase in operating expense is primarily attributable to cost increases related to wages and benefits.
The largest component of operating expenses is wages, which increased to $25.0 million in 2005 from $23.5 million in 2004, an increase of $1.5 million, or 6.2%. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in wages as a result of competitive labor markets in most of the areas in which the Company operates and increased census.
Lease expense. Lease expense increased to $4.0 million in 2005 from $3.8 million in 2004. The increase in rent expense is primarily due to contingent rent expense incurred in connection with certain leases, and to increased expense in connection with a lease for one facility that was renewed effective April 2005.

Professional liability. Professional liability expense decreased to $1.0 million in 2005 from $2.5 million in 2004, a decrease of $1.5 million. The provision for current liability claims recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2005 was partially offset by downward adjustments in the liability primarily resulting from the quarterly actuarial valuations, resulting in a net expense of $1.0 million in the period. These reductions from the quarterly actuarial valuation were primarily the result of the effects of settlements of certain claims for amounts less than had been reserved in prior periods and the resulting effect of these settlements on the assumptions inherent to the actuarial estimate. These self-insurance reserves are assessed on a quarterly basis, with changes in estimated losses being recorded in the consolidated statements of operations in the period identified. Professional liability costs include cash and non-cash charges recorded based on current actuarial reviews. The actuarial reviews include estimates of known claims and an estimate of claims that may have occurred, but have not yet been reported to the Company.
General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense was approximately $3.4 million in both 2005 and 2004. As a percentage of total net revenues, general and administrative expense was approximately 6.2% in 2005 and 6.6% and 2004.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $1.3 million in 2005 from $1.2 million in 2004, an increase of $0.1 million or 8.7%. The increase was primarily due to capital expenditures made during the periods.
Foreign currency transaction gain. A foreign currency transaction gain of $258,000 was recorded in 2005, compared to a gain of $303,000 in 2004. These gains result from foreign currency translation of a note receivable from the sale of the Company’s Canadian operations.
Interest income. Interest income increased to $132,000 in 2005 from $111,000 in 2004, an increase of $21,000. The majority of this interest income is non-cash interest income related to amortization of discount on a note receivable recorded in connection with the 2004 sale of the Company’s Canadian subsidiary.
Interest expense. Interest expense increased to $0.9 million in 2005 from $0.8 million in 2004, in increase of $0.1 million or 14.5%. Interest expense increased as a result of new notes issued in connection with the acquisition of a facility and the settlement of certain professional liability claims and other disputes, and interest rate increases on the Company’s variable rate debt. These increases were offset by reduction in interest as a result of the payment of debt.
Income from continuing operations before income taxes; income from continuing operations per common share. As a result of the above, continuing operations reported income before income taxes of $1.6 million in 2005 compared to income before income taxes of $0.2 million in 2004. The benefit for income taxes was $170,000 in 2005, compared to a provision for income taxes of $32,000 in 2004. The Company’s effective tax rate differs materially from the statutory rate mainly due to changes in the Company’s valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets. The basic and diluted income per share from continuing operations were $0.29 and $0.27, respectively, in 2005, as compared to a basic and diluted income per share from continuing operations of $0.02 each, respectively, in 2004.
Income from discontinued operations. As discussed in the overview at the start of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, the Company has

31


Table of Contents

completed several divestitures, and has reclassified its consolidated financial statements to present these divestitures as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes, was approximately $0.5 million in 2004, while there was no loss from discontinued operations in the third quarter of 2005, as the related divestitures were completed in earlier periods. Gains from the disposition of discontinued operations of $8,000, net of related taxes, were recorded in the third quarter of 2005, compared to a gain of $77,000 recorded in the third quarter of 2004.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 Compared With Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004
As noted in the overview, the Company has entered into several divestiture and lease termination transactions in recent periods, and the consolidated financial statements of the Company have been reclassified to present such transactions as discontinued operations. Accordingly, the related revenue, expenses, assets, liabilities and cash flows have been reported separately, and the discussion below addresses principally the results of the Company’s continuing operations.
Revenues. Net revenues increased to $159.0 million in 2005 from $149.2 million in 2004, an increase of $9.8 million, or 6.5%. Patient revenues increased to $149.4 million in 2005 from $140.1 million in 2004, an increase of $9.3 million, or 6.7%. The increase in patient revenues is due to Medicare rate increases that were effective October 1, 2004, increased Medicare utilization and increased Medicaid rates in certain states, partially offset by a 0.3% decline in census in 2005 as compared to 2004. As a percentage of total census, Medicare days increased to 13.3% in 2005 from 13.0% in 2004. Medicare revenues were 30.2% of patient revenue in 2005 and 29.3% in 2004, while Medicaid and similar programs were 58.1% in 2005 compared to 59.6% in 2004.
Resident revenues increased to $9.5 million in 2005 from $9.2 million in 2004, an increase of $0.3 million, or 4.2%. This increase is attributable to increased rates in 2005 as compared to 2004 and to a 0.7% increase in census in 2005 as compared to 2004.
Ancillary service revenues, prior to contractual allowances, increased to $31.1 million in 2005 from $27.4 million in 2004, an increase of $3.7 million, or 13.4%. The increase is primarily attributable to increased utilization of ancillary service programs. Certain per person annual Medicare reimbursement limits on therapy services have been suspended until December 31, 2005. The limits impose a $1,590 per patient annual ceiling on physical, speech and occupational therapy services. Current Federal budget reconciliation discussions and draft legislation by Congress includes a provision for an additional one year deferral of this provision, delaying implementation of this rule until January 1, 2007. The Company is unable to quantify the impact that these limitations will have. However, it is expected that the reimbursement limitations, if implemented, will reduce therapy revenues, and negatively impact the Company’s operating results and cash flows.
Operating expense. Operating expense increased to $123.6 million in 2005 from $116.9 million in 2004, an increase of $6.7 million, or 5.7%. As a percentage of patient and resident revenues, operating expense decreased to 77.8% in 2005 from 78.4% in 2004. The increase in operating expense is primarily attributable to cost increases related to wages and benefits. The decrease in operating costs as a percent of patient and resident revenues is primarily due to the effects of increases in Medicare and Medicaid rates and increased Medicare utilization, as discussed above.
The largest component of operating expenses is wages, which increased to $72.2 million in 2005 from $68.0 million in 2004, an increase of $4.2 million, or 6.0%. This increase is primarily

32


Table of Contents

attributable to an increase in wages as a result of competitive labor markets in most of the areas in which the Company operates and increased Medicare census. Partially offsetting this increase, the Company experienced a decrease in wages as a result of reduced costs associated with reduced Medicaid census.
Lease expense. Lease expense increased to $12.0 million in 2005 from $11.5 million in 2004. The increase in rent expense is primarily due to contingent rent expense incurred in connection with certain leases, and to increased expense in connection with a lease for one facility that was renewed effective April 2005.
Professional liability. Professional liability expense in 2005 resulted in a net benefit of $4.8 million, compared to a benefit of $2.2 million in 2004, an increase in net benefit of $2.6 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company reduced its total recorded liabilities for self-insured professional liability risks to $34.4 million, down from $42.9 million at December 31, 2004. Downward adjustments in the liability primarily resulting from the quarterly actuarial valuations were partially offset by the provision for current liability claims recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2005, resulting in a net benefit of $4.8 million in the period. These reductions were primarily the result of the effects of settlements of certain claims for amounts less than had been reserved in prior periods and the resulting effect of these settlements on the assumptions inherent to the actuarial estimate. These self-insurance reserves are assessed on a quarterly basis, with changes in estimated losses being recorded in the consolidated statements of operations in the period identified. Professional liability costs include cash and non-cash charges recorded based on current actuarial reviews. The actuarial reviews include estimates of known claims and an estimate of claims that may have occurred, but have not yet been reported to the Company.
General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense increased to $10.6 million in 2005 from $9.3 million in 2004, an increase of $1.3 million or 13.5%. The increase is primarily attributable to increased compensation costs. As a percentage of total net revenues, general and administrative expense was approximately 6.7% in 2005 and 6.2% and 2004.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $3.7 million in 2005 from $3.5 million in 2004, an increase of $0.2 million or 5.1%. The increase was primarily due to capital expenditures made during the periods.
Foreign currency transaction gain. A foreign currency transaction gain of $136,000 was recorded in 2005, compared to a gain of $496,000 in 2004. These gains result from foreign currency translation of a note receivable from the sale of the Company’s Canadian operations.
Interest income. Interest income increased to $401,000 in 2005 from $155,000 in 2004, an increase of $246,000. The majority of this interest income is non-cash interest income related to amortization of discount on a note receivable recorded in connection with the May 2004 sale of the Company’s Canadian subsidiary.
Interest expense. Interest expense increased to $2.4 million in 2005 from $2.3 million in 2004, an increase of $0.1 million or 6.0%. Interest expense increased as a result of new notes issued in connection with the acquisition of a facility and the settlement of certain professional liability claims and other disputes, and interest rate increases on the Company’s variable rate debt. These increases were offset by reduction in interest as a result of the payment of debt.

Income from continuing operations before income taxes; income from continuing operations per common share. As a result of the above, continuing operations reported income before income taxes of $12.1 million in 2005 compared to income before income taxes of $8.5 million in 2004. The benefit for income taxes was $150,000 in 2005, compared to a provision for income taxes of $186,000 in 2004. The Company’s effective tax rate differs materially from the statutory rate mainly due to changes in the Company’s valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets. The basic and diluted income per share from continuing operations were $2.09 and $1.87, respectively, in 2005, as compared to a basic and diluted income per share from continuing operations of $1.43 and $1.29, respectively, in 2004.
Income from discontinued operations. As discussed in the overview at the start of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, the Company has completed several divestitures, and has reclassified its consolidated financial statements to present these divestitures as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes, was approximately $0.3 million in 2005 compared to a loss of $1.5 million in 2004. In addition, gains from the disposition of discontinued operations of $0.4 million and $0.2 million, net of related taxes, were recorded in 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2005, the Company had negative working capital of $46.2 million and a current ratio of 0.37, compared with negative working capital of $45.5 million and a current ratio of 0.36 at December 31, 2004. Although the Company reported profits for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, such profits resulted partially from downward adjustments in the Company’s accrual for self-insured risks associated with professional liability claims. The Company has recorded total liabilities for reported professional liability claims and estimates for incurred but unreported claims of $34.4 million as of September 30, 2005. The Company does not have cash or available resources to pay these accrued professional liability claims or any significant portion thereof. The Company has limited resources available to meet its operating, capital expenditure and debt service requirements during 2005.
Certain of the Company’s debt agreements contain various financial covenants, the most restrictive of which relate to current ratio requirements, tangible net worth, cash flow, net income (loss) and limits on the payment of dividends to shareholders. As of September 30, 2005, the Company was not in compliance with certain of the financial covenants contained in the Company’s debt and lease agreements. The Company has not obtained waivers of the non-compliance. Cross-default or material adverse change provisions contained in the debt agreements allow the holders of substantially all of the Company’s debt to demand immediate repayment. The Company would not be able to repay this indebtedness if the applicable lenders demanded repayment. Accordingly, the Company has classified the related debt principal amounts as current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2005. Although the Company does not anticipate that such demand will be made, the continued forbearance on the part of the Company’s lenders cannot be assured at this time. Given that events of default exist under the Company’s working capital line of credit, there can be no assurance that the lender will continue to provide working capital advances.
As of September 30, 2005, the Company has $35.1 million of scheduled debt maturities that must be repaid or refinanced during the next twelve months. As a result of these maturities, covenant non-

34


Table of Contents

compliance and other cross-default provisions, the Company has classified a total of $48.3 million of debt as current liabilities as of September 30, 2005.
In April 2005, the Company entered into an agreement to extend the maturities of certain borrowings from a bank lender, including the Company’s working capital line of credit, that had an aggregate outstanding balance of $7.8 million at March 31, 2005. The new agreement extended the maturity date of these borrowings to January 29, 2006 and reduced the maximum amount available under the working capital line of credit to $2.3 million. The bank further agreed to temporarily forbear from exercising its remedies upon default subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the amendment. The interest rate on indebtedness other than the working capital line was revised to prime rate plus 1/2% up to a maximum of 7.5%, and the interest rate on the working capital line of credit remained unchanged at either LIBOR plus 2.5% or the bank’s prime rate plus 1/2% (up to a maximum of 9.5%). In connection with this transaction, a $250,000 certificate of deposit has been pledged as collateral for certain funds transfer services used by the Company. This amount is included in “restricted cash” in the accompanying balance sheet.
In April 2005, the Company entered into an agreement with a commercial mortgage lender to refinance certain loans secured by one nursing home. The financing agreement provided $3.7 million in financing, payable in monthly installments based on a twenty-five year amortization, with a final balloon payment in 2008, and bears interest at LIBOR plus 4%.
In May 2005, the Company entered into an agreement to extend the maturities of certain borrowings from a commercial mortgage lender. Under terms of the agreement, the lender agreed to extend the maturity dates of mortgage indebtedness with an aggregate outstanding balance of approximately $23.6 million to April 1, 2006. The interest rate and other terms of the indebtedness did not change.
In August 2005, the Company purchased a 120-bed skilled nursing facility in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The Company had operated this facility since 1990 under a lease agreement that was to expire in February 2006. The Company purchased the nursing home for approximately $6.7 million with financing provided by a commercial finance company. The financing agreement provided $8.0 million in financing, payable in monthly installments based on a twenty-five year amortization, with a final balloon payment in 2008, and bears interest at LIBOR plus 4%. Proceeds from this loan were used to fund the acquisition and related transaction costs and to retire other debt.
The existing events of default under the Company’s debt agreements could lead to actions by the lenders that could result in an event of default under the Company’s lease agreements covering a majority of its nursing facilities. Should such a default occur in the related lease agreements, the lessor would have the right to terminate the lease agreements and assume operating rights with respect to the leased properties. The net book value of property and equipment, including leasehold improvements, related to these facilities total approximately $4.6 million as of September 30, 2005. A default in these lease agreements would also give the holder of the Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock the right to require the Company to redeem those shares.
If the Company is unable to generate sufficient cash flow from its operations, is unable to successfully negotiate debt or lease amendments, or is subject to a significant judgment not covered by insurance, the Company may have to explore a variety of other options, including but not limited to other sources of equity or debt financings, asset dispositions, or relief under the United States Bankruptcy Code. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset carrying amounts or the

35


Table of Contents

amounts of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The report of the independent registered public accounting firm on the Company’s financial statements at December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 includes a paragraph with regards to the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
As of September 30, 2005, and for the nine months then ended, the Company had no borrowings under its working capital line of credit. The maximum outstanding balance of the working capital line of credit is $2.3 million. There are certain limitations based on borrowing base restrictions. The working capital line of credit matures in January 2006 with interest at either LIBOR plus 2.5% or the bank’s prime rate plus 0.50% (up to a maximum of 9.5%). Given that events of default exist under the Company’s debt agreements, no assurance can be given that the bank will allow the Company to draw under its working capital line of credit. At a minimum, the Company’s cash requirements during 2005 include funding operations (including potential payments related to professional liability claims), capital expenditures, scheduled debt service, and working capital requirements. No assurance can be given that the Company will have sufficient cash to meet these requirements.
The Company has numerous pending liability claims, disputes and legal actions for professional liability and other related issues. The Company has limited, and sometimes no, professional liability insurance with respect to many of these claims. In the event a significant judgment is entered against the Company in one or more of these legal actions in which there is no or insufficient professional liability insurance, the Company does not anticipate that it will have the ability to pay such a judgment or judgments. As of September 30, 2005, future committed settlements total $1.7 million over the next twelve months, and $2.2 million in total. Certain of these commitments have been evidenced by promissory notes which have been included with debt in the accompanying balance sheet. Additionally, payments made or due in connection with settlement of disputed claims could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s ability to meet its obligations as they become due.
Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations totaled $6.1 million and $4.5 million in the nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. These amounts primarily represent the cash flows from net operations plus changes in non-cash components of operations and by working capital changes. Discontinued operations used cash of $59,000 in the nine month period ended September 30, 2005, and provided cash of $738,000 in the nine month period ended September 30, 2004.
Investing activities used cash of $8.7 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2005, and provided cash of $3.2 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2004. These amounts primarily represent purchases of property plant and equipment, the purchase of a facility in 2005 and proceeds from the sale of the Company’s Canadian subsidiary in 2004. The Company has used between $2.5 million and $4.0 million for capital expenditures of continuing operations in the three calendar years ending December 31, 2004. Substantially all such expenditures were for facility improvements and equipment, which were financed principally through working capital. For the year ending December 31, 2005, the Company anticipates that capital expenditures for improvements and equipment for its existing facility operations will be approximately $4.0 million to $4.5 million.
Financing activities provided cash of $2.2 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2005, and used cash of $7.2 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2004. In 2005, proceeds of debt issuance provided cash of $11.7 million. These funds were used to acquire a

36

facility and to retire existing debt. Proceeds from the sale of discontinued operations in 2005 and 2004 were used to pay debt.
Receivables
The Company’s operations could be adversely affected if it experiences significant delays in reimbursement of its labor and other costs from Medicare, Medicaid and other third-party revenue sources. The Company’s future liquidity will continue to be dependent upon the relative amounts of current assets (principally cash, accounts receivable and inventories) and current liabilities (principally accounts payable and accrued expenses). In that regard, accounts receivable can have a significant impact on the Company’s liquidity. Continued efforts by governmental and third-party payors to contain or reduce the acceleration of costs by monitoring reimbursement rates, by increasing medical review of bills for services, or by negotiating reduced contract rates, as well as any delay by the Company in the processing of its invoices, could adversely affect the Company’s liquidity and results of operations.
Accounts receivable of continuing operations attributable to the provision of patient and resident services at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 totaled $18.4 million and $17.6 million, respectively, representing approximately 32 and 30 days revenue in accounts receivable, respectively. The allowance for bad debt was $2.0 million and $1.7 million at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.
The Company continually evaluates the adequacy of its bad debt reserves based on patient mix trends, aging of older balances, payment terms and delays with regard to third-party payors, collateral and deposit resources, as well as other factors. The Company continues to evaluate and implement additional procedures to strengthen its collection efforts and reduce the incidence of uncollectible accounts.
Stock Exchange
The Company’s stock is quoted on the NASD’s OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol AVCA.
Inflation
Management does not believe that the Company’s operations have been materially affected by inflation. The Company expects salary and wage increases for its skilled staff to continue to be higher than average salary and wage increases, as is common in the health care industry.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets — An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. This Statement amends APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions. The amendments made by SFAS No. 153 are based on the principle that exchanges of non-monetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The provisions of SFAS 153 are effective for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company adopted SFAS 153 beginning July 1, 2005. The future effect of SFAS 153 on the Company’s financial statements will depend on whether the Company enters into certain non-monetary transactions. The Company, however, does not

37


Table of Contents

expect the adoption of this Statement to have a significant impact on its financial position or results of operations.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. SFAS 123R requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. The Company will be required to apply this Statement beginning January 1, 2006. The scope of SFAS 123R includes a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. The future effect of SFAS 123R on the Company’s financial statements will depend on whether the Company enters into any transactions involving share-based payment.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. This new standard replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and FASB Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. Among other changes, SFAS 154 requires that a voluntary change in accounting principle be applied retrospectively with all prior period financial statements presented on the new accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to do so. Statement 154 also provides that (1) a change in method of depreciating or amortizing a long-lived non-financial asset be accounted for as a change in estimate (prospectively) that was effected by a change in accounting principle, and (2) correction of errors in previously issued financial statements should be termed a “restatement.” The new standard is effective for accounting changes and error corrections made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Thus, the statement becomes effective for the Company for accounting changes and error corrections made on or after January 1, 2006. Early adoption of this standard is permitted for accounting changes and error corrections made in fiscal years beginning after June 1, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of Statement 154 to have a significant impact on its financial position or results of operations.
Forward-Looking Statements
The foregoing discussion and analysis provides information deemed by Management to be relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company’s consolidated results of operations and its financial condition. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. Certain statements made by or on behalf of the Company, including those contained in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere, are forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements involve risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, changes in governmental reimbursement, government regulation and health care reforms, the increased cost of borrowing under the Company’s credit agreements, covenant waivers from the Company’s lenders, possible amendments to the Company’s credit agreements, ability to control ultimate professional liability costs, the accuracy of the Company’s estimate of its anticipated professional liability expense, the impact of future licensing surveys, changing economic conditions as well as others. Investors also should refer to the risks identified in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” as well as risks identified in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 for a discussion of various risk factors of the Company and that are inherent in the health care industry. Given these risks and uncertainties, the Company can give no assurances that these forward-looking statements will, in fact, transpire and, therefore, cautions investors not to place undue reliance on them. Actual results may differ materially from those

38


Table of Contents

described in such forward-looking statements. Such cautionary statements identify important factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to materially differ from those projected in forward-looking statements. In addition, the Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The chief market risk factor affecting the financial condition and operating results of the Company is interest rate risk. As of September 30, 2005, the Company had outstanding borrowings of approximately $48.7 million, including $3.3 million in fixed-rate borrowings and $45.4 million in variable-rate borrowings. In the event that interest rates were to change 1%, the impact on future cash flows would be approximately $454,000 annually, representing the impact of increased or decreased interest expense on variable rate debt.
The Company has a note receivable denominated in Canadian dollars related to the sale of its Canadian operations. This note is currently recorded on the Company’s balance sheet at $5.6 million US based on the outstanding balance of the note and the exchange rate as of September 30, 2005. The carrying value of the note in the Company’s financial statements will be increased or decreased each period based on fluctuations in the exchange rate between US and Canadian currencies, and the effect of such changes will be included as income or loss in the Company’s statement of operations in the period of change. In the nine month period ended September 30, 2005, the Company reported a transaction gain of $136,000 as a result of the effect of changes in the currency exchange rates on this note. A further change of 1% in the exchange rate between US and Canadian currencies would result in a corresponding increase or decrease to other income (expense) of approximately $56,000.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company, with the participation of its principal executive and financial officers has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of September 30, 2005. Based on this evaluation, the principal executive and financial officers have determined that such disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
There has been no change (including corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses) in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has occurred during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
The provision of health care services entails an inherent risk of liability. Participants in the health care industry are subject to an increasing number of lawsuits alleging malpractice, product liability, or related legal theories, many of which involve large claims and significant defense costs. The entire long-term care profession in the United States has experienced a dramatic increase in claims related to alleged negligence in providing care to its patients and the Company is no exception in this regard. The Company has numerous pending liability claims, disputes and legal actions for professional liability and other related issues. It is expected that the Company will continue to be subject to such suits as a result of the nature of its business. Further, as with all health care providers, the Company is potentially subject to the increased scrutiny of regulators for issues related to compliance with health care fraud and abuse laws.
As of September 30, 2005, the Company is engaged in 17 professional liability lawsuits. Some of these matters are currently scheduled for trial within the next year and additional cases may be set for trial during this period. The ultimate results of these or any other of the Company’s professional liability claims and disputes cannot be predicted. The Company has limited, and sometimes no, professional liability insurance with regard to most of these claims. In the event a significant judgment is entered against the Company in one or more of these legal actions in which there is no or insufficient professional liability insurance, the Company would not have available cash resources to satisfy the judgment. Further, settlement of these and other cases may require cash resources that would be in excess of the Company’s available cash or other resources. These potential future payments, whether of a judgment or in settlement of a disputed claim, could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position and cash flows.
On September 8, 2004, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the attorney General of the State of Arkansas setting forth the terms by which the Company resolved all civil claims and investigations commenced by the State of Arkansas prior to the entry of the agreement, including seven lawsuits then pending in the Circuit Court of Pulaski County, Arkansas alleging violations of the Arkansas Abuse of Adults Act and violation of the Arkansas Medicaid False Claims Act with respect to certain residents of facilities operated by the Company in Arkansas. This agreement was subsequently amended to settle one additional case. Under the terms of the settlement, the Company is obligated (i) to pay $417,000 in equal monthly installments of $16,667 beginning on September 1, 2004 and ending on September 1, 2006, and (ii) to pay by no later than September 1, 2007, no less than $600,000 to install sprinkler systems in nursing homes within the State of Arkansas to be selected by the Company. The Company has incurred expenditures of approximately $309,000 through September 30, 2005 toward the requirement to install sprinkler systems.
In 2003, the Company’s insurance carriers for claims incurred in 1997 and 1998 were ordered to pay one-half respectively of a final judgment entered against the Company in a professional liability case tried in Mena, Arkansas in 2001. The Company’s 1997 policy included primary coverage of up to $1 million through one carrier that has been declared insolvent. The umbrella carrier has demanded that the Company pay this $1 million portion of the judgment. The Company has denied responsibility for this liability, and the carrier has not filed any action seeking to recover this amount.
In January 2005, the Company’s Medicare Fiscal intermediary implemented a prepayment review on approximately 80 Medicare Part B occupational therapy claims at 26 of the Company’s facilities. As

40


Table of Contents

a result, payments for occupational therapy and any other services on the same bill were initially withheld, and payment was denied on approximately 22 of these claims. The Company believes that this prepayment review was a widespread review of occupational therapy services and was not limited to the Company’s facilities. The amounts billed are believed to be appropriate, and the Company is appealing the denied claims. A widespread denial of claims of this type or a material change in reimbursement for these services could have an adverse impact on the Company.
The Company cannot currently predict with certainty the ultimate impact of any of the above cases on the Company’s financial condition, cash flows or results of operations. An unfavorable outcome in any of the lawsuits, any investigation or lawsuit alleging violations of fraud and abuse laws or of elderly abuse laws or any state or Federal False Claims Act case could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, cash flows or results of operations and could also subject the Company to fines, penalties and damages. Moreover, the Company could be excluded from the Medicare, Medicaid or other state or federally-funded health care programs, which would also have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES.
The Company is not currently in compliance with certain covenants of its loan agreements and certain other indebtedness. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

EX-10.1 2 g98061exv10w1.txt EX-10.1 PROMISSORY NOTE 08/31/05 EXHIBIT 10.1 PROMISSORY NOTE $8,000,000.00 OAK RIDGE, TENNESSEE AUGUST 31, 2005 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned DIVERSICARE BRIARCLIFF, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, having an address at c/o Advocat Inc., 1621 Galleria Blvd., Brentwood, Tennessee 37027 (the "BORROWER"), hereby promises to pay to the order of GMAC COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE CORPORATION, a California corporation, having an address at 200 Witmer Road, Horsham, Pennsylvania 19044-0809 (the "LENDER"), its successors and assigns as holder of this Note or, if this Note has then been endorsed "to bearer," to the bearer of this Note (Lender, its said successors and assigns, and any such bearer, being hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as the "HOLDER"), at Lender's said address or at such other place or to such other person as may be designated in writing to Borrower by Lender, the principal sum of EIGHT MILLION AND NO/100 Dollars ($8,000,000.00) (the "LOAN"), together with interest on the unpaid balance thereof at the rate hereinafter set forth. ON THE TERMS AND SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS which are hereinafter set forth: Section 1. Interest Rate and Payment Dates. 1.1 Initial Rate and Initial Payment. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance hereunder from time to time from and after the date hereof at the rate of 7.67% per annum until the first Rate Adjustment Date (as defined below). On each successive Rate Adjustment Date, the rate of interest at which interest accrues shall be adjusted to the then applicable Note Rate (as defined in Section 1.4). Interest for the period beginning on the date of this Note and ending on and including the last day of the month in which this Note is dated shall be payable on the date hereof. Interest shall be paid in arrears and shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and actual number of days elapsed for any whole or partial month in which interest on this Note is being calculated and shall be charged on the principal balance outstanding from time to time. 1.2 Rate Adjustment Date and Payment Adjustment Dates. The rate of interest on the outstanding principal balance hereof from time to time shall be adjusted on the following dates (each being a "RATE ADJUSTMENT DATE"): the first Rate Adjustment Date shall be September 1, 2005, and subsequent Rate Adjustment Dates shall fall on the first day of each calendar month thereafter. The first payment adjustment date shall be October 1, 2005, and subsequent payment adjustment dates shall fall on the first day of each calendar month thereafter during the term of the Loan. 1.3 Default Interest Rate. If Borrower fails to make any payment of principal, interest or fees on the date on which such payment becomes due and payable (including applicable grace periods) whether at maturity or by acceleration or on any other date, such payment shall accrue interest from the date on which such payment was due (and not the date of the payment default) until paid at the fluctuating rate ("DEFAULT RATE") which is the lesser of (a) five percent (5%) per annum above the then applicable Note Rate and (b) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. 1.4 Note Rate. The "NOTE RATE" shall mean four percent (4%) per annum plus the average of London Interbank Offered Rates ("LIBOR") for a term of one month determined solely by Holder as of each Rate Adjustment Date in the following manner: on each Rate Adjustment Date, Holder will obtain the one month LIBOR (in U.S. Dollar deposits) from the appropriate Bloomberg display page available as of the close of business announced on the last business day of the month immediately preceding the Rate Adjustment Date; in the event Bloomberg ceases publication or ceases to publish the one month LIBOR, Holder shall select a comparable publication to determine the one month LIBOR and provide notice thereof to Borrower; LIBOR may or may not be the lowest rate based upon the market for U.S. Dollar deposits in the London Interbank Eurodollar Market at which Holder prices loans on the date on which the Note Rate is determined by Holder as set forth above. 1.5 Note Rate Adjustments. This Note shall bear interest at the rate set forth above or at the applicable Note Rate until a new Note Rate is determined on each Rate Adjustment Date in accordance with the provisions hereof; provided, however, that, if Holder at any time determines, in the sole but reasonable exercise of its discretion that it has miscalculated the amount of the monthly payment of principal and/or interest (whether because of a miscalculation of the Note Rate or otherwise), Holder shall give notice to Borrower of the corrected amount of such monthly payment (and the corrected amount of the Note Rate, if applicable) and (a) if the corrected amount of such monthly payment represents an increase thereof, Borrower shall, within ten (10) calendar days after the date of such notice, pay to Holder any sums that Borrower would have otherwise been obligated under this Note to pay to Holder had the amount of such monthly payment not been miscalculated or (b) if the corrected amount of such monthly payment represents a decrease thereof, and Borrower is not otherwise in breach or default under any of the terms and provisions of the Note or the Loan Agreement of even date herewith by and between Borrower and Lender (the "LOAN AGREEMENT"), Borrower shall, within ten (10) calendar days thereafter be paid the sums that Borrower would not have otherwise been obligated to pay to Holder had the amount of such monthly payment not been miscalculated. 1.6 LIBOR Unascertainable. If (a) on any date on which the Note Rate would otherwise be set, Holder shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive) that (i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the one month LIBOR or (ii) a contingency has occurred which materially and adversely affects the London Interbank Eurodollar Market at which Holder prices loans on the date on which the Note Rate is determined by Holder as set forth above, or (b) at any time Holder shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive) that the making, maintenance or funding of any part of the Loan has been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by Holder in good faith with any law or guideline or interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof or with any request or directive of any such governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) then, and 2 in any such event, Holder may notify Borrower of such determination. Upon such date as shall be specified in such notice (which shall not be earlier than the date such notice is given), the obligation of Holder to charge interest to Borrower at the Note Rate shall be suspended until Holder shall have later notified Borrower of Holder's determination in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive) that the circumstances giving rise to such previous determination no longer exist. 1.7 U.S. Treasury Securities. If Holder notifies Borrower of a determination under subsection 1.6 hereof for purposes of calculating the Note Rate, the one month LIBOR shall automatically be converted to the "INDEX" of the weekly average yield on United States Treasury Securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year, as made available by the Federal Reserve Board forty-five (45) days prior to the Rate Adjustment Date. 1.8 Reimbursement for Increased Costs. If any law or guideline or interpretation or application thereof by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof or compliance with any request or directive of any governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) now existing or hereafter adopted (a) subjects Holder to any tax or changes the basis of taxation with respect to this Note, the Loan or payments by Borrower of principal, interest or other amounts due from Borrower hereunder or thereunder (except for taxes on the overall net income or overall gross receipts of Holder imposed as a result of a present or former connection between the jurisdiction of the governmental authority imposing such tax on Holder, provided that this exclusion shall not apply to a connection arising solely from Holder having executed, delivered, performed its obligations under, or received a payment under, or enforced, any of the Loan Documents (as defined in Section 8.1.1 below)), or (b) imposes upon Holder any other condition or expense with respect to this Note, the Loan or its making, maintenance or funding of any part of the Loan or any security therefor, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to, reduce the income receivable by, or impose any expense (including, without limitation, loss of margin) upon, Holder with respect to the Note, or the making, maintenance or funding of any part of the Loan, by an amount which Holder deems to be material, Holder may from time to time notify Borrower of the amount determined in good faith (using any averaging and attribution methods) by Holder (which determination shall be conclusive) to be necessary to compensate Holder for such increase, reduction or imposition and, if Borrower is by law prohibited from paying any such amount, Holder may elect to declare the unpaid principal balance hereof and all interest accrued thereon immediately due and payable. Such amount shall be due and payable by Borrower to Holder ten (10) days after such notice is given. Section 2. Principal and Interest Payments. Commencing on October 1, 2005, and continuing on the first day of each calendar month thereafter through and including the Maturity Date (defined below), monthly payments of principal and interest shall adjust monthly and be made in such amount, taking into account the then effective Note Rate, as is sufficient to fully amortize the unpaid principal balance of the Note on the date that is twenty-five (25) years after the first Rate Adjustment Date. Section 3. Application of Payments. Payments made by Borrower on account hereof shall be applied, first, toward any Late Fees (hereinafter defined) or other fees and charges due 3 hereunder, second, toward payment of any interest due at the Default Rate, third, toward payment of any interest due at the then applicable Note Rate set forth in Section 1.4 above, and fourth, toward payment of principal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any advances made by Holder under the terms of any instruments securing this Note have not been repaid, any payments made may, at the option of Holder, be applied, first, to repay such advances and interest thereon, with the balance, if any, applied as set forth in the preceding sentence. Section 4. Maturity Date. Anything in this Note to the contrary notwithstanding, the entire unpaid balance of the principal amount hereof and all interest accrued thereon, to and including the Maturity Date (as defined below) (including interest accruing at the Default Rate), and all Late Fees (as defined below) shall, unless sooner paid, and except to the extent that payment thereof is sooner accelerated, be and become due and payable on September 1, 2008 (the "MATURITY DATE"). Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, if repayment of the Loan, whether at maturity or upon acceleration or otherwise, is funded from the proceeds of any refinancing of the Loan, then Borrower shall pay to Lender an exit fee equal to one half of one percent (0.5%) of the outstanding principal balance of this Note on the date of such prepayment (which balance shall be calculated exclusive of any voluntary partial prepayments) unless Lender has received a contractually agreed upon sum for the arrangement thereof or has elected not to provide such refinancing (the "Exit Fee"). Section 5. Prepayment. Commencing the first (1st) anniversary of the Loan, prepayment of the Loan in full shall be permitted without penalty, upon not less than thirty (30) and not greater than forty (40) days prior written notice to Lender specifying the date on which prepayment is to be made. Any such prepayment shall be credited, first, toward any Late Fees due hereunder, second, toward payment of any accrued and unpaid interest due hereunder at the Default Rate, third, toward payment of any accrued and unpaid interest due hereunder at the Note Rate, and, fourth, toward payment of principal; provided, however, that if any advances made by Holder under the terms of any instruments securing this Note have not been repaid, any payments made may, at the option of Holder, be applied, first, to repay such advances, and interest thereon, with the balance, if any, applied as set forth in the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, if prepayment of the Loan is funded from the proceeds of any refinancing of the Loan, then prepayment shall be subject to the Exit Fee. Section 6. Method of Payment. Each payment of the Loan Obligations (as defined in the Loan Agreement) shall be paid directly to Holder in lawful tender of the United States of America. Each such payment shall be paid by 1:00 p.m. Horsham, Pennsylvania, time on the date such payment is due, except if such date is not a Business Day (as defined in the Loan Agreement) such payment shall then be due on the first Business Day after such date. Any payment received after 1:00 p.m. Horsham, Pennsylvania, time shall be deemed to have been received on the immediately following Business Day. 4 Section 7. Security. The debt evidenced by this Note is to be secured by, among other things, (a) a Deed of Trust and Security Agreement (the "MORTGAGE") of even date herewith by and between Borrower and Lender, and intended to be recorded in the Real Estate Records of Anderson County, Tennessee, covering certain real property which is described in Exhibit "A" to the Deed of Trust, and (b) Guaranty Agreement of even date herewith (the "GUARANTY AGREEMENT"), given by Advocat Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "GUARANTOR"), for the benefit of Holder, and (c) a Cross-Collateralization and Cross-Default Agreement of even date herewith by and between Borrower, the Related Borrowers (as defined in the Loan Agreement), Guarantor and Lender, and intended to be recorded in the Real Estate Records of Anderson County, Tennessee. Section 8. Default. 8.1 Events of Default. Anything in this Note to the contrary notwithstanding, on the occurrence of any of the following events (each of which is referred to herein, together with each of the Events of Default defined and described in the Loan Agreement and the Mortgage as an "EVENT OF DEFAULT"), Holder may, in the exercise of its sole and absolute discretion, accelerate the debt evidenced by this Note, in which event the entire outstanding principal balance and all interest and fees accrued thereon shall immediately be and become due and payable without further notice: 8.1.1 Failure to Pay or Perform.

If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to Lender in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to Lender shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted under applicable law; and, if from any circumstance the Lender shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal of the Loan and not to the payment of interest, or, if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Loan, such excess shall be refunded to Borrower. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal of the Loan (including the period of any renewal or extension thereof) so that interest thereon for such full period shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. This paragraph shall control all agreements between the Borrower and Lender.

All Improvements situated on the Land are situated wholly within the boundaries of the Land. 3.15 PRIORITY OF MORTGAGE. The Mortgage constitutes a valid first lien against the real and personal property described therein, prior to all other liens or encumbrances, including those which may hereafter accrue, excepting only Permitted Encumbrances which do not and will not materially and adversely affect (a) the ability of Borrower to pay in full the principal of and interest on the Note when due, (b) the security (and its value) intended to be provided by the Mortgage or (c) the current use of the Land and the Improvements. 3.16 LOCATION OF CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICES.

The Facility must be structurally and geologically sound and capable of withstanding normal seismic activity or geological movement. Lender reserves the right to require earthquake insurance or Maximum Probable Loss insurance on a case by case basis in amounts determined by Lender. (j) Such other insurance coverages as may be deemed necessary at any time during the term of the Loan and as shall be provided within such time periods as Lender may determine, in each case, in its commercially reasonable discretion. All insurance policies shall have a term of not less than one year and shall be in the form and amount and with deductibles as, from time to time, shall be acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion. All such policies shall provide for loss payable solely to Lender and shall contain a standard "non-contributory mortgagee" endorsement or its equivalent relating, among other things, to recovery by Lender notwithstanding the negligent or willful acts or omissions of Borrower and notwithstanding (i) occupancy or use of the Facility for purposes more hazardous than those permitted by the terms of such policy, (ii) any foreclosure or other action taken by Lender pursuant to the Mortgage upon the occurrence of an Event of Default thereunder, or (iii) any change in title or ownership of the Facility.

All liability insurance policies must name "GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation and its successors and/or assigns as their interests may appear" as additional insureds, and all property insurance policies must name "GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation and its successors and/or assigns" as the named mortgage holder entitled to all insurance proceeds. Lender shall have the right, without Borrower's consent, by notice to the insurance company, to change the additional insured and named mortgagee endorsements in connection with any sale of the Loan. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, Borrower shall be entitled to all insurance proceeds covered by and disbursed under the above-referenced comprehensive all risk insurance policy provided such proceeds do not exceed $25,000.00 per occurrence. All insurance policies for the above-required insurance must provide for thirty (30) days prior written notice of cancellation to Lender. Policies or binders, together with evidence of the above required insurance on ACORD Form 27 or its equivalent, must be submitted to Lender prior to setting the interest rate on the Loan. 16 With respect to insurance policies which require payment of premiums annually, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration dates of the insurance policies obtained pursuant to this Agreement, Borrower shall pay such amount, except to the extent Lender is escrowing sums therefor pursuant to the Loan Documents. Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration dates of the insurance policies obtained pursuant to this Agreement, originals or certified copies of renewals of such policies (or certificates evidencing such renewals) bearing notations evidencing the payment of premiums or accompanied by other evidence satisfactory to Lender of such payment, which premiums shall not be paid by Borrower through or by any financing arrangement, shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender at the address set forth in Section 8.7 hereof and in Exhibit "B" hereto. Borrower shall not carry separate insurance, concurrent in kind or form or contributing in the event of loss, with any insurance required under this Section 4.5. If the limits of any policy required hereunder are reduced or eliminated due to a covered loss, Borrower shall pay the additional premium, if any, in order to have the original limits of insurance reinstated, or Borrower shall purchase new insurance in the same type and amount that existed immediately prior to the loss. If Borrower fails to maintain and deliver to Lender the original policies or certificates of insurance required by this Agreement, Lender may, at its option, procure such insurance and Borrower shall pay or, as the case may be, reimburse Lender for, all premiums thereon promptly, upon demand by Lender, with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date paid by Lender to the date of repayment and such sum shall constitute a part of the Loan Obligations. The insurance required by this Agreement may, at the option of Borrower, be effected by blanket and/or umbrella policies issued to Borrower or to an Affiliate of Borrower covering the Facility and the properties of such Affiliate; provided that, in each case, the policies otherwise comply with the provisions of this Agreement and allocate to the Facility, from time to time, the coverage specified by this Agreement, without possibility of reduction or coinsurance by reason of, or damage to, any other property (real or personal) named therein. If the insurance required by this Agreement shall be effected by any such blanket or umbrella policies, Borrower shall furnish to Lender original policies or certified copies thereof, with schedules attached thereto showing the amount of the insurance provided under such policies which is applicable to the Facility. Neither Lender nor its agents or employees shall be liable for any loss or damage insured by the insurance policies required to be maintained under this Agreement; it being understood that (a) Borrower shall look solely to its insurance company for the recovery of such loss or damage, (b) such insurance company shall have no rights of subrogation against Lender, its agents or employees, and (c) Borrower shall use its best efforts to procure from such insurance company a waiver of subrogation rights against Lender. If, however, such insurance policies do not provide for a waiver of subrogation rights against Lender (whether because such a waiver is unavailable or otherwise), then Borrower hereby agrees, to the extent permitted by law and to the extent not prohibited by such insurance policies, to waive its rights of recovery, if any, against Lender, its agents and employees, whether resulting from any damage to the Facility, any liability claim in connection with the Facility or otherwise. If any such insurance policy shall prohibit Borrower from waiving such claims, then Borrower must obtain from such insurance company a waiver of subrogation rights against Lender. 17 Borrower appoints Lender as Borrower's attorney-in-fact to cause the issuance of an endorsement of any insurance policy to bring Borrower into compliance herewith and, as limited above, at Lender's sole option, to make any claim for, receive payment for, and execute and endorse any documents, checks or other instruments in payment for loss, theft, or damage covered under any such insurance policy; provided, however, that in no event will Lender be liable for failure to collect any amounts payable under any insurance policy. 4.6 PROCEEDS OF INSURANCE OR CONDEMNATION.

Maintain all records, including records pertaining to the Accounts of Borrower, at the principal place of business of Borrower as set forth in this Agreement. 4.12 CONDUCT OF BUSINESS. Conduct, or cause Manager to conduct, the operation of the Facility at all times in a manner consistent with the level of operation of the Facility as of the date hereof, including without limitation, the following: (a) to maintain the standard of care for the residents of the Facility at all times at a level necessary to ensure quality care for the residents of the Facility in accordance with customary and prudent industry standards; (b) to operate the Facility in a prudent manner and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations relating thereto and cause all Permits, Reimbursement Contracts (if any), and any other agreements necessary for the use and operation of the Facility or, if applicable, as may be necessary for participation in the Medicaid, Medicare, or other applicable reimbursement programs (if any) to remain in effect without reduction in the number of licensed beds authorized for use in the Medicaid, Medicare, or other applicable reimbursement programs; (c) to maintain sufficient Inventory and Equipment of types and quantities at the Facility to enable Borrower to perform operations of the Facility adequately; (d) to keep all Improvements and Equipment located on or used or useful in connection with the Facility in good repair, working order and condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and from time to time make all needed and proper repairs, renewals, replacements, additions, and improvements thereto to keep the same in good operating condition; (e) to maintain sufficient cash in the operating accounts of the Facility in order to satisfy the working capital needs of the Facility; and (f) to keep all required Permits current and in full force and effect. 4.13 PERIODIC SURVEYS.

(a) Maintain (commencing with the closing of the Loan) and within forty-five (45) days after the end of each fiscal quarter of Borrower, provide evidence to Lender of the achievement of, the following debt service coverage ratios until the Loan is paid in full: (i) a Debt Service Coverage for the Facility, after deduction of Actual Management Fees, of not less than 1.0 to 1.0; and (ii) a Debt Service Coverage for the Facility after deduction of Assumed Management Fees, of not less than 1.25 to 1.0. (b) If Borrower fails to achieve or provide evidence of achievement of the Debt Service Coverage for the Facility, Borrower may deposit with Lender, at Borrower's option within fifteen (15) days of such failure, additional cash or other liquid collateral in an amount which, when added to the first number of the debt service coverage calculation, would have resulted in the noncomplying debt service requirement having been satisfied. If after Borrower has deposited such additional cash or liquid collateral, Borrower again fails to achieve or provide evidence of the achievement of the Debt Service Coverage for the Facility requirements set forth above and such failure continues for two (2) consecutive quarters, Borrower may deposit with Lender, at Borrower's option within fifteen (15) days after written notice to Borrower of such failure, 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 (1st) day of the first quarter for which such noncompliance of the debt service coverage requirement occurred to reduce the outstanding principal indebtedness of the Loan, would have resulted in the noncomplying debt service coverage requirement having been satisfied. Any additional cash or liquid collateral deposited by Borrower hereunder in order to achieve the required Debt Service Coverage for the Facility and cure any existing default with respect thereto will be held by Lender in a standard custodial account and shall constitute additional collateral for the Loan Obligations and an "Account" as defined in this Agreement, and, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, may be applied by Lender, in such order and manner as Lender may elect, to the reduction of the Loan Obligations. Borrower shall not be entitled to any interest earned on such additional collateral. Provided that there is no outstanding Default or Event of Default, such additional collateral which has not been applied to the Loan Obligations will be released by Lender at such time as Borrower provides Lender with evidence that the required debt service coverage requirements outlined above have been achieved and maintained (without regard to any cash deposited pursuant to this Section 4.14) for two (2) consecutive fiscal quarters. 24 4.15 OCCUPANCY. Maintain or cause to be maintained at all times, a daily average annual occupancy for the Facility, as tested quarterly (on the basis of a calendar year), of eighty percent (80%) or more (based on the number of beds available at the Facility). 4.16 CAPITAL EXPENDITURES. Maintain, and/or cause Manager to maintain, the Facility in good condition and make minimum capital expenditures for the Facility in each fiscal year, in an amount equal to $300 per bed (or the appropriate prorated amount for any partial fiscal year), (which capital expenditures may include ordinary repairs and routine maintenance), commencing the first year of the Loan term and continuing throughout the Loan term, and, within forty-five (45) days after the end of each fiscal year, provide evidence thereof satisfactory to Lender. In the event that Borrower shall fail to meet such requirement or to provide such evidence, 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 Borrower. Borrower grants to Lender a lien on and 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. Moneys on deposit in such capital expenditures reserve fund will be disbursed to Borrower monthly upon Lender's receipt of satisfactory evidence that Borrower has caused to be made the required capital expenditures. Upon Borrower's or Manager's failure to adequately maintain the Facility 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 such capital expenditures reserve fund for such purposes, all funds advanced by Lender to make such capital expenditures shall constitute a portion of the Loan Obligations, shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall accrue interest at the Default Rate until paid. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may apply any moneys in the capital expenditures reserve fund to the Loan Obligations, in such order and manner as Lender may elect. 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 amount 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. During the term of the Loan, Lender may, from time to time, engage a professional building inspector to conduct an inspection of the Facility. 4.17 MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT. Maintain the Management Agreement in full force and effect and timely perform all of Borrower's obligations thereunder and enforce performance of all obligations of Manager thereunder and not permit the termination, amendment or assignment of the Management Agreement unless the prior written consent of Lender is first obtained, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Borrower will enter into and cause Manager to enter into the Subordination Agreement. Borrower will not enter into any other management agreement without Lender's prior written consent, which consent may be in the sole and absolute discretion of Lender. 4.18 UPDATED APPRAISALS. For so long as the Loan remains outstanding, if any Event of Default shall occur hereunder, or if, in Lender's judgment, a material depreciation in the value of the Land and/or the Improvements shall have occurred, then in any such event, Lender, may cause the Land and Improvements to be appraised by an appraiser selected by Lender, and in 25 accordance with Lender's appraisal guidelines and procedures then in effect, and Borrower agrees to cooperate in all respects with such appraisals and furnish to the appraisers all requested information regarding the Land and Improvements and the Facility. Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable costs incurred by Lender in connection with such appraisal which costs shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall accrue interest at the Default Rate until paid. 4.19 COMPLY WITH COVENANTS AND LAWS.

Provide all items and pay all amounts required by the Commitment Letter. If any term of the Commitment Letter shall conflict with the terms of this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern and control.

Upon Lender's written request, furnish Lender with a certificate stating that Borrower has complied with and is in compliance with all terms, covenants and conditions of the Loan Documents to which Borrower is a party and that there exists no Default or Event of Default or, if such is not the case, that one or more specified events have occurred, and that the representations and warranties contained herein are true and correct with the same effect as though made on the date of such certificate. 4.23 DEBT SERVICE RESERVE FUND. Pursuant to the Debt Service Reserve Fund Agreement, establish and maintain a debt service reserve fund with Lender equal to approximately three (3) months of debt service payments with respect to the Note as reasonably estimated by Lender, rounded upward to the nearest One Thousand Dollars ($1,000). 4.24 INTENTIONALLY DELETED. 4.25 INTENTIONALLY DELETED. 4.26 NOTICE OF FEES OR PENALTIES.

Borrower shall immediately notify Lender in writing if any of such representations, warranties or covenants are no longer true or have been breached or if Borrower has a reasonable basis to believe that they may no longer be true or have been breached. In connection with such an event, Borrower shall comply with all Requirements of Law and directives of Governmental Authorities and, at Lender's request, provide to Lender copes of all notices, reports and other communications exchanged with, or received from, Governmental Authorities relating to such an event. Borrower shall also reimburse Lender any expense incurred by Lender in evaluating the effect of such an event on the Loan and Lender's interest in the collateral for the Loan, in obtaining any necessary license from Governmental Authorities as may be necessary for Lender to enforce its rights under the Loan Documents, and in complying with all Requirements of Law applicable to Lender as the result of the existence of such an event and for any penalties or fines imposed upon Lender as a result thereof.

(b) No Prohibited Activities and Conditions exist or have existed. 32 (c) The Land and the Improvements do not now contain any underground storage tanks, and, to the best of Borrower's knowledge after reasonable and diligent inquiry, the Land and the Improvements have not contained any underground storage tanks in the past. If there is an underground storage tank located on the Land or the Improvements which has been previously disclosed by Borrower to Lender in writing, that tank complies with all requirements of Hazardous Materials Laws. (d) Borrower has complied with all Hazardous Materials Laws, including all requirements for notification regarding releases of Hazardous Materials, relating to the Land. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower has obtained all Environmental Permits required for the operation of the Land and the Improvements in accordance with Hazardous Materials Laws now in effect and all such Environmental Permits are in full force and effect. During Borrower's ownership of the Land, and, to the best of Borrower's knowledge after reasonable and diligent inquiry, no event has occurred with respect to the Land and/or Improvements that constitutes or, with the passing of time or the giving of notice, would constitute, noncompliance with the terms of any Environmental Permit. (e) There are no actions, suits, claims or proceedings pending or, to the best of Borrower's knowledge after reasonable and diligent inquiry, threatened that involves the Land and/or the Improvements and allege, arise out of, or relate to any Prohibited Activity and Condition. (f) Borrower has not received any written complaint, order, notice of violation or other communication from any Governmental Authority with regard to air emissions, water discharges, noise emissions or Hazardous Materials, or any other environmental, health or safety matters affecting the Land, the Improvements or any other property of Borrower that is adjacent to the Land. The representations and warranties in this Article VI shall be continuing representations and warranties that shall be deemed to be made by Borrower throughout the term of the Loan evidenced by the Note and until all of the Loan Obligations have been paid in full. 6.6 NOTICE OF CERTAIN EVENTS. Borrower shall promptly notify Lender in writing of any and all of the following that may occur: (a) Borrower's discovery of any Prohibited Activity and Condition. (b) Borrower's receipt of or knowledge of any complaint, order, notice of violation or other communication from any Governmental Authority or other Person with regard to present or future alleged Prohibited Activities and Conditions or any other environmental, health or safety matters affecting the Land, the Improvements or any other property of Borrower that is adjacent to the Land. (c) Any representation or warranty in this Article VI which becomes untrue at any time after the date of this Agreement. Any such notice given by Borrower shall not relieve Borrower of, or result in a waiver of, any obligation under this Agreement, the Note, or any of the other Loan Documents. 33 6.7 COSTS OF INSPECTION. Borrower shall pay promptly the costs of any environmental inspections, tests or audits ("Environmental Inspections") required by Lender in connection with any foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure or, if required by Lender, as a condition of Lender's consent to any "Transfer" (as defined in the Mortgage), or required by Lender following a commercially reasonable determination by Lender that Prohibited Activities and Conditions may exist. Any such costs incurred by Lender (including the fees and out-of-pocket costs of attorneys and technical consultants whether incurred in connection with any judicial or administrative process or otherwise) which Borrower fails to pay promptly shall become an additional part of the Loan Obligations. The results of all Environmental Inspections made by Lender shall at all times remain the property of Lender, and Lender shall have no obligation to disclose or otherwise make available to Borrower or any other party such results or any other information obtained by Lender in connection with its Environmental Inspections. Lender hereby reserves the right, and Borrower hereby expressly authorizes Lender, to make available to any party, including any prospective bidder at a foreclosure sale of the Mortgaged Property, the results of any Environmental Inspections made by Lender with respect to the Mortgaged Property. Borrower consents to Lender notifying any party (either as part of a notice of sale or otherwise) of the results of any of Lender's Environmental Inspections. Borrower acknowledges that Lender cannot control or otherwise assure the truthfulness or accuracy of the results of any of its Environmental Inspections and that the release of such results to prospective bidders at a foreclosure sale of the Mortgaged Property may have a material and adverse effect upon the amount which a party may bid at such sale. Borrower agrees that Lender shall have no liability whatsoever as a result of delivering the results of any of its Environmental Inspections to any third party, and Borrower hereby releases and forever discharges Lender from any and all claims, damages, or causes of action, arising out of, connected with or incidental to the results of, the such delivery of any of Lender's Environmental Inspections. 6.8 REMEDIAL WORK. If any investigation, site monitoring, containment, clean-up, restoration or other remedial work ("Remedial Work") is necessary to bring Borrower into compliance with any Hazardous Materials Law or order of any Governmental Authority that has or acquires jurisdiction over the Land, the Improvements or the use, operation or improvement of the Land under any Hazardous Materials Law, Borrower shall, by the earlier of (a) the applicable deadline required by Hazardous Materials Law or (b) thirty (30) days after notice from Lender demanding such action, begin performing the Remedial Work, and thereafter diligently prosecute it to completion, and shall in any event complete such work by the time required by applicable Hazardous Materials Law. If Borrower fails to begin on a timely basis or diligently prosecute any required Remedial Work, Lender may, at its option, cause the Remedial Work to be completed, in which case Borrower shall reimburse Lender on demand for the cost of doing so. Any reimbursement due from Borrower to Lender shall become part of the Loan Obligations. 6.9 COOPERATION WITH GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES. Borrower shall cooperate with any inquiry by any Governmental Authority and shall comply with any governmental or judicial order which arises from any alleged Prohibited Activity and Condition. 6.10 INDEMNITY. 34 (a) Borrower shall hold harmless, defend and indemnify (i) Lender, (ii) any prior owner or holder of the Note, (iii) any Person who is or will have been involved in the servicing of the Note, (iv) the officers, directors, partners, agents, shareholders, employees and trustees of any of the foregoing, and (v) the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of each of the foregoing (together, the "Indemnitees") from and against all proceedings, claims, damages, losses, expenses, penalties and costs (whether initiated or sought by any Governmental Authority or private parties), including fees and out of pocket expenses of attorneys and expert witnesses, investigatory fees, and remediation costs, whether incurred in connection with any judicial or administrative process or otherwise, arising directly or indirectly from any of the following except to the extent the same relate solely to Hazardous Materials first introduced to the Property or any part thereof by anyone other than Borrower or an Affiliate of Borrower following foreclosure of the Mortgage (or the delivery and acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure). (i) Any breach of any representation or warranty of Borrower in this Article VI; (ii) Any failure by Borrower to perform any of its obligations under this Article VI; (iii) The existence or alleged existence of any Prohibited Activity and Condition; (iv) The presence or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials in, on, around or under the Land, the Improvements or any property of Borrower that is adjacent to the Land; or (v) The actual or alleged violation of any Hazardous Materials Law. (b) Counsel selected by Borrower to defend Indemnitees shall be subject to the approval of those Indemnitees. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, any Indemnitee may elect to defend any claim or legal or administrative proceeding at Borrower's expense, if such Indemnitee has reason to believe that its interests are not being adequately represented or diverge from other interests being represented by such counsel (but Borrower shall be obligated to bear the expense of at most only one such separate counsel). Nothing contained herein shall prevent an Indemnitee from employing separate counsel in any such action at any time and participating in the defense thereof at its own expense. (c) Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of those Indemnitees who are named as parties to a claim or legal or administrative proceeding (a "Claim") settle or compromise the Claim if the settlement (i) results in the entry of any judgment that does not include as an unconditional term the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to Lender of a written release of those Indemnitees, satisfactory in form and substance to Lender; or (ii) may materially and adversely affect any Indemnitee, as determined by such Indemnitee in its sole discretion. 35 (d) The liability of Borrower to indemnify the Indemnitees shall not be limited or impaired by any of the following, or by any failure of Borrower or any guarantor to receive notice of or consideration for any of the following: (i) Any amendment or modification of any Loan Document; (ii) Any extensions of time for performance required by any of the Loan Documents; (iii) The accuracy or inaccuracy of any representations and warranties made by Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (iv) The release of Borrower or any other Person, by Lender or by operation of law, from performance of any obligation under any of the Loan Documents; (v) The release or substitution in whole or in part of any security for the Loan Obligations; or (vi) Lender's failure to properly perfect any lien or security interest given as security for the Loan Obligations; or (vii) Any provision in any of the Loan Documents limiting Lender's recourse to property securing the Loan or limiting the personal liability of Borrower or any party for payment of all or any part of the Loan. (e) Borrower shall, at its own cost and expense, do all of the following: (i) Pay or satisfy any judgment or decree that may be entered against any Indemnitee or Indemnitees in any legal or administrative proceeding incident to any matters against which Indemnitees are entitled to be indemnified under this Article VI; (ii) Reimburse Indemnitees for any expenses paid or incurred in connection with any matters against which Indemnitees are entitled to be indemnified under this Article VI; and (iii) Reimburse Indemnitees for any and all expenses, including fees and costs of attorneys and expert witnesses, paid or incurred in connection with the enforcement by Indemnitees of their rights under this Article VI, or in monitoring and participating in any legal or administrative proceeding. (f) In any circumstances in which the indemnity under this Article VI applies, Lender may employ its own legal counsel and consultants to prosecute, defend or negotiate any claim or legal or administrative proceeding and Lender, with the prior written consent of Borrower (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) may settle or compromise any action or legal or administrative proceeding. Borrower shall reimburse Lender upon demand for all costs and expenses incurred by Lender, including all costs of settlements 36 entered into in good faith, and the fees and out of pocket expenses of such attorneys and consultants. (g) The provisions of this Article VI shall be in addition to any and all other obligations and liabilities that Borrower may have under the applicable law or under the other Loan Documents, and each Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification under this Article VI without regard to whether Lender or that Indemnitee has exercised any rights against the Land and/or the Improvements or any other security, pursued any rights against any guarantor, or pursued any other rights available under the Loan Documents or applicable law. If Borrower consists of more than one Person or entity, the obligation of those Persons or entities to indemnify the Indemnitees under this Article VI shall be joint and several. The obligations of Borrower to indemnify the Indemnitees under this Article VI shall survive any repayment or discharge of the Loan Obligations, any foreclosure proceeding, any foreclosure sale, any delivery of any deed in lieu of foreclosure, and any release of record of the lien of the Mortgage. ARTICLE VII EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES 7.1 EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The occurrence of any one or more of the following shall constitute an "Event of Default" hereunder: (a) The failure by Borrower to pay any installment of principal, interest, or other payments required under the Note, the Mortgage or any other Loan Document within ten (10) days after the same becomes due;

provided, however, that if such Default cannot be cured within such thirty (30) day period, such cure period shall be extended for an additional sixty (60) days, as long as Borrower is diligently and in good faith prosecuting said cure to completion; 37 (g) The filing by Borrower, Guarantor or Manager of a voluntary petition, or the adjudication of any of the aforesaid Persons, or the filing by any of the aforesaid Persons of any petition or answer seeking or acquiescing in any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief for itself under any present or future federal, state or other statute, law or regulation relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other relief for debtors, or if any of the aforesaid Persons should seek or consent to or acquiesce in the appointment of any trustee, receiver or liquidator for itself or of all or any substantial part of its property or of any or all of the rents, revenues, issues, earnings, profits or income thereof, or the mailing of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors or the admission in writing by any of the aforesaid Persons of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due;

or (o) The occurrence of any material adverse change in the financial condition or prospects of Borrower or Guarantor or Manager, or the existence of any other condition which, in Lender's reasonable determination, constitutes a material impairment of any such Person's ability to operate the Facility or of such Person's ability to perform their respective obligations under the Loan Documents, which is not remedied within thirty (30) days after written notice. Notwithstanding anything in this Section, all requirements of notice shall be deemed eliminated if Lender is prevented from declaring an Event of Default by bankruptcy or other applicable law. The cure period, if any, shall then run from the occurrence of the event or condition of Default rather than from the date of notice. 7.2 REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of any one or more of the foregoing Events of Default, Lender may, at its option: (a) Declare the entire unpaid principal of the Loan Obligations to be, and the same shall thereupon become, immediately due and payable, without presentment, protest or further demand or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived; and/or (b) Proceed to protect and enforce its rights by action at law (including, without limitation, bringing suit to reduce any claim to judgment), suit in equity and other appropriate proceedings including, without limitation, for specific performance of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement; and/or 39 (c) Exercise any and all rights and remedies afforded by the laws of the United States, the states in which any of the Mortgaged Property is located or any other appropriate jurisdiction as may be available for the collection of debts and enforcement of covenants and conditions such as those contained in this Agreement and the Loan Documents; and/or (d) Exercise the rights and remedies of setoff and/or banker's lien against the interest of Borrower in and to every account and other property of Borrower which is in the possession of Lender or any Person who then owns a participating interest in the Loan, to the extent of the full amount of the Loan; and/or (e) Exercise its rights and remedies pursuant to any other Loan Documents. ARTICLE VIII MISCELLANEOUS 8.1 WAIVER. No remedy conferred upon, or reserved to, Lender in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy or remedies, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing in law or in equity. Exercise of or omission to exercise any right of Lender shall not affect any subsequent right of Lender to exercise the same. No course of dealing between Borrower and Lender or any delay on Lender's part in exercising any rights shall operate as a waiver of any of Lender's rights. No waiver of any Default under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent or other, then existing, Default or shall impair any rights, remedies or powers of Lender. 8.2 COSTS AND EXPENSES. Borrower will bear all taxes, fees and expenses (including actual attorneys' fees and expenses of counsel for Lender) in connection with the Loan, the Note, the preparation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including any amendments hereafter made), and in connection with any modifications thereto and the recording of any of the Loan Documents. If, at any time, a Default occurs or Lender becomes a party to any suit or proceeding in order to protect its interests or priority in any collateral for any of the Loan Obligations or its rights under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, or if Lender is made a party to any suit or proceeding by virtue of the Loan, this Agreement or any Mortgaged Property and as a result of any of the foregoing, Lender employs counsel to advise or provide other representation with respect to this Agreement, or to collect the balance of the Loan Obligations, or to take any action in or with respect to any suit or proceeding relating to this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, any Mortgaged Property, Borrower, Guarantor or Manager, or to protect, collect, or liquidate any of the security for the Loan Obligations, or attempt to enforce any security interest or lien granted to Lender by any of the Loan Documents, then in any such events, all of the actual attorney's fees arising from such services, including attorneys' fees for preparation of litigation and in any appellate or bankruptcy proceedings, and any expenses, costs and charges relating thereto shall constitute additional obligations of Borrower to Lender payable on demand of Lender. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower has undertaken the obligation for payment of, and shall pay, all recording and filing fees, revenue 40 or documentary stamps or taxes, intangibles taxes, and other taxes, expenses and charges payable in connection with this Agreement, any of the Loan Documents, the Loan Obligations, or the filing of any financing statements or other instruments required to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement, and should Borrower fail to do so, Borrower agrees to reimburse Lender for the amounts paid by Lender, together with penalties or interest, if any, incurred by Lender as a result of underpayment or nonpayment. Such amounts shall constitute a portion of the Loan Obligations, shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note) from the date advanced until repaid. 8.3 PERFORMANCE OF LENDER. At its option, upon Borrower's failure to do so, Lender may make any payment or do any act on Borrower's behalf that Borrower or others are required to do to remain in compliance with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and Borrower agrees to reimburse Lender, on demand, for any payment made or expense incurred by Lender pursuant to the foregoing authorization, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees, and until so repaid any sums advanced by Lender shall constitute a portion of the Loan Obligations, shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note) from the date advanced until repaid. 8.4 INDEMNIFICATION. Except to the extent caused solely by the gross negligence of willful misconduct or illegal activity of the Indemnified Parties, Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all claims, suits, liabilities (including, without limitation, strict liabilities), actions, proceedings, obligations, debts, damages, losses, costs, expenses, diminutions in value, fines, penalties, charges, fees, expenses, judgments, awards, amounts paid in settlement, punitive damages, foreseeable and unforeseeable consequential damages, of whatever kind or nature (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs of defense) imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against Lender by reason of (a) ownership of the Note, the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein or receipt of any Rents, (b) any amendment to, or restructuring of, the Loan Obligations and/or any of the Loan Documents, (c) any and all lawful action that may be taken by Lender in connection with the enforcement of the provisions of the Mortgage or the Note or any of the other Loan Documents, whether or not suit is filed in connection with same, or in connection with Borrower, Guarantor, Manager and/or any partner, joint venturer, member or shareholder thereof becoming a party to a voluntary or involuntary federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, (d) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property occurring in, on or about the Land, the Improvements or any part thereof or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways, (e) any use, nonuse or condition in, on or about the Land, the Improvements or any part thereof or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways, (f) any failure on the part of Borrower, Guarantor or Manager to perform or comply with any of the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (g) any claims by any broker, Person or entity claiming to have participated in arranging the making of the Loan evidenced by the Note, (h) any failure of the Land and/or Improvements to be in compliance with any applicable laws, (i) performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property with respect to the Land, the Improvements or any part thereof, (j) the failure of any Person to file timely with the Internal Revenue Service an accurate Form 1099-b, statement for recipients of proceeds from real estate, 41 broker and barter exchange transactions, which may be required in connection with the Mortgage, or to supply a copy thereof in a timely fashion to the recipient of the proceeds of the transaction in connection with which the Loan is made, (k) any misrepresentation made to Lender in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, (l) any tax on the making and/or recording of the Mortgage, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents; (m) the violation of any requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, (n) any fines or penalties assessed or any corrective costs incurred by Lender if the Facility or any part of the Land and/or Improvements is determined to be in violation of any covenants, restrictions of record, or any applicable laws, ordinances, rules or regulations, or (o) the enforcement by any of the Indemnified Parties of the provisions of this Section 8.4. Any amounts payable to Lender by reason of the application of this Section 8.4, shall become immediately due and payable, and shall constitute a portion of the Loan Obligations, shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall accrue interest at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note). The obligations and liabilities of Borrower under this Section 8.4 shall survive any termination, satisfaction, assignment, entry of a judgment of foreclosure or exercise of a power of sale or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage. For purposes of this Section 8.4, the term "Indemnified Parties" means Lender and any Person who is or will have been involved in the origination of the Loan, any Person who is or will have been involved in the servicing of the Loan, any Person in whose name the encumbrance created by the Mortgage is or will have been recorded, any Person who may hold or acquire or will have held a full or partial interest in the Loan (including, without limitation, any investor in any securities backed in whole or in part by the Loan) as well as the respective directors, officers, shareholder, partners, members, employees, agents, servants, representatives, contractors, subcontractors, affiliates, subsidiaries, participants, successors and assigns of any and all of the foregoing (including, without limitation, any other Person who holds or acquires or will have held a participation or other full or partial interest in the Loan or the Mortgaged Property, whether during the term of the Mortgage or as a part of or following a foreclosure of the Loan and including, without limitation, any successors by merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or a substantial portion of Lender's assets and business). 8.5 HEADINGS. The headings of the Sections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part hereof, and shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the terms hereof. 8.6 SURVIVAL OF COVENANTS. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in certificates or reports delivered pursuant hereto shall be deemed to have been material and relied on by Lender, notwithstanding any investigation made by or on behalf of Lender, and shall survive the execution and delivery to Lender of the Note and this Agreement. 8.7 NOTICES, ETC. Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be given by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or by applicable law shall be in writing and shall be deemed received (a) on the date delivered, if sent by hand delivery (to the person or department if one is specified below) with receipt acknowledged by the recipient thereof, (b) three (3) Business Days following the date deposited in U.S. mail, certified or registered, with 42 return receipt requested, or (c) one (1) Business Day following the date deposited with Federal Express or other national overnight carrier, and in each case addressed as follows: If to Borrower: Diversicare Briarcliff, LLC c/o Advocat Inc 1621 Galleria Blvd. Brentwood, TN 37027-2926 Attn: Glynn Riddle If to Lender: GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation 200 Witmer Road Horsham, Pennsylvania 19044-0809 Attn: Servicing Department and GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation 2200 Woodcrest Place, Suite 305 Birmingham, AL 35209 Attn: Laura McDonald with a copy to: Shannon B.

All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. No Person other than Borrower or Lender shall be entitled to rely upon this Agreement or be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement. 8.9 PARTICIPATION. Borrower acknowledges that Lender may, at its option, sell participation interests in the Loan or to other participating banks or Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) assign its interest in the Loan to its affiliates, or to other assignees (the "Assignee") to be included as a pool of properties to be financed in a proposed Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit (REMIC). Borrower agrees with each present and future participant in the Loan or Assignee of the Loan that if an Event of Default should occur, each present and future 43 participant or Assignee shall have all of the rights and remedies of Lender with respect to any deposit due from Borrower. The execution by a participant of a participation agreement with Lender, and the execution by Borrower of this Agreement, regardless of the order of execution, shall evidence an agreement between Borrower and said participant in accordance with the terms of this Section. If the Loan is assigned to the Assignee, the Assignee will engage an underwriter (the "Underwriter"), who will be responsible for the due diligence, documentation, preparation and execution of certain documents required in connection with the offering of interests in the REMIC. Borrower agrees that Lender may, at its sole option and without notice to or consent of Borrower, assign its interest in the Loan to the Assignee for inclusion in the REMIC and, in such event, Borrower agrees to provide the Assignee with such information as may be reasonably required by the Underwriter in connection therewith or by an investor in any securities backed in whole or in part by the Loan or any rating agency rating such securities. Borrower irrevocably waives any and all right it may have under applicable law to prohibit such disclosure, including, but not limited to, any right of privacy, and consents to the disclosure of such information to the Underwriter, to potential investors in the REMIC, and to such rating agencies. 8.10 SUPERSEDES PRIOR AGREEMENTS; COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement and the instruments referred to herein supersede and incorporate all representations, promises and statements, oral or written, made by Lender in connection with the Loan. This Agreement may not be varied, altered, or amended except by a written instrument executed by an authorized officer of Lender. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be an original, but such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. 8.11 LOAN AGREEMENT GOVERNS. The Loan is governed by the terms and provisions set forth in this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents and in the event of any irreconcilable conflict between the terms of the other Loan Documents and the terms of this Loan Agreement, the terms of this Loan Agreement shall control; provided, however, that in the event that there is any apparent conflict between any particular term or provision which appears in both this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents and it is possible and reasonable for the terms of both this Loan Agreement and the Loan Documents to be performed or complied with, then, notwithstanding the foregoing, both the terms of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be performed and complied with. 8.12 CONTROLLING LAW. THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE THAT THE VALIDITY, INTERPRETATION, ENFORCEMENT AND EFFECT OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TENNESSEE AND THE PARTIES HERETO SUBMIT (AND WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO OBJECT) TO NON-EXCLUSIVE PERSONAL JURISDICTION IN THE STATE OF TENNESSEE FOR THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY AND ALL OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS EXCEPT THAT IF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISES UNDER THE CONSTITUTION, LAWS OR TREATIES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, OR IF THERE IS A DIVERSITY OF CITIZENSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES THERETO, SO THAT IT IS TO BE BROUGHT IN A UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT, IT SHALL BE BROUGHT IN THE UNITED STATES 44 DISTRICT COURT FOR THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF TENNESSEE OR ANY SUCCESSOR FEDERAL COURT HAVING ORIGINAL JURISDICTION. 8.13 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
