11% and matures on April 30, 2018, with two ten-year renewal

by a lien on the seven facilities. At the Loan closing, $4.9 million
of Loan proceeds were escrowed pending CommuniCare’s acquisition of an
additional 90 bed skilled nursing facility, also located in
Maryland. CommuniCare expects to acquire the additional facility
