Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is hereby made to the above-referenced Credit Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

The Second Amendment to Credit Agreement and Waiver, dated as of November 5, 2004, among other things, joined Texas Lessor-Stonegate, LP ("TL-S") as a Borrower under the Credit Agreement. Since that time, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers have been working to qualify the six Real Property Assets currently owned by TL-S as "Borrowing Base Assets" under the Credit Agreement (the six Real Property Assets owned by TL-S are commonly known as (i) Heritage Plaza Nursing Center, Texarkana, Texas, (ii) Colonial Pines Healthcare Center, San Augustine, Texas, (iii) West Place Nursing Center, Athens, Texas, (iv) South Place Nursing Center, Athens, Texas, (v) Reunion Plaza Senior Care and Rehabilitation Center, Texarkana, Texas and (vi) Pine Grove Nursing Center, Center, Texas, collectively, the "TL-S Assets").

Section 7.12(a)(i) of the Credit Agreement provides that the Borrowers may at any time include additional Real Property Assets as "Borrowing Base Assets" so long as (i) the Real Property Assets satisfy the requirements set forth in the definition of Borrowing Base Assets (including the delivery of each of the Borrowing Base Asset Deliverables with respect thereto) and (ii) the written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders has been obtained.

With respect to each of the TL-S Borrowing Base Assets, the Administrative Agent confirms that it has received each of the items set forth in the definition of Borrowing Base Asset Deliverables and each such item is in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

Furthermore, for purposes of satisfying the consent requirements under the Credit Agreement, (including, without limitation, those consent requirements set forth in the definition of "Borrowing Base Asset" and in Section 7.12(a)), the undersigned Required Lenders hereby consent to the inclusion of the TL-S Assets as "Borrowing Base Assets" under the Credit Agreement.

Except to the extent specifically provided to the contrary in this Consent to Additional Borrowing Base Assets (this "Consent"), all terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, without modification or limitation. This Consent shall not operate as a consent to any other action or inaction by the Borrowers, the Parent, the Guarantors or any of their Subsidiaries, or as a waiver or amendment of any right, power, or remedy of any Lender or the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement nor constitute a consent to any such action or inaction, or a waiver or amendment of any provision contained in the Credit Agreement except as specifically provided herein. This Consent may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

Please indicate your acknowledgment, acceptance and agreement or consent , as the case may be, to the foregoing Consent by signing in the space provided below and returning an executed counterpart to:
