Incorporation (&#147;Article&nbsp;V&#148;) dated December, 2001, and Article&nbsp;III, Section&nbsp;13
of Assisted Living Concepts&#146; Bylaws, as amended (&#147;Section&nbsp;13&#148;), require
Assisted Living Concepts to indemnify its officers and directors to the fullest
extent authorized by the General Corporation Law of the State of Nevada. The
effect of these provisions is summarized below, but such summary is qualified
in its entirety by reference to the General Corporation Law of the State of
Nevada, Article&nbsp;V and Section&nbsp;13.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Assisted Living Concepts must indemnify any director or officer who was or
is a party, or is threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative (a &#147;Proceeding&#148;), except an action by or in the right of the
corporation, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or
officer of Assisted Living Concepts against expenses (including any obligation
to pay any attorneys&#146; fees, judgments, fines, and settlements, actually and
reasonably incurred with respect to the Proceeding), if: (i)&nbsp;the conduct of the
individual was in good faith; (ii)&nbsp;the individual acted in a manner reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Assisted Living
Concepts; and (iii)&nbsp;in the case of any criminal proceeding, the individual had
no reasonable cause to believe the individual&#146;s conduct was unlawful. The
termination of a Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon
a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent does not, of itself, create a
presumption that the director or officer did not meet such standard of conduct.
Any indemnification provided, unless ordered by a court, shall be made by
Assisted Living Concepts only as authorized in a specific case upon a
determination that such indemnification is proper in the circumstances.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;With regard to actions by or in the right of the corporation,
indemnification is limited to expenses, including amounts paid in settlement
and attorneys&#146; fees actually and reasonably incurred. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Assisted Living Concepts shall not indemnify any director or officer
in connection with a Proceeding in which the director or officer was adjudged
by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals
therefrom, to be liable to Assisted Living Concepts or for amounts paid in
settlement to Assisted Living Concepts unless and only to the extent that the
court permits indemnification based upon a finding that such person is fairly
and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses as the court deems
proper.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Assisted Living Concepts has a mandatory statutory obligation to indemnify
any director or officer who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise,
in the defense of any

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Proceeding against all expenses including attorneys&#146; fees, actually and
reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with the
Proceeding.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;13 provides that Assisted Living Concepts may pay the expenses
incurred by any officer or director in any Proceeding in advance of its final
disposition, if the director or officer furnishes Assisted Living Concepts with
a written undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay
advanced amounts to the extent that it is ultimately determined that such
person is not entitled to indemnification as authorized by Section&nbsp;13.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;13 further provides that all rights to indemnification and
advances authorized by Section&nbsp;13 or ordered by a court does not exclude other
rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement may be
entitled, except that indemnification, unless ordered by a court, may not be
made to or on behalf of any director or officer if a final adjudication
establishes that the individual&#146;s acts or omissions involved intentional
misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law and was material to the cause
of action.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;13 further provides that any right to indemnification or advances
granted to a director or officer shall be enforceable in any court of competent
jurisdiction if the claim for indemnification or advances is not paid in full
within ninety (90)&nbsp;days after written claim therefor. The claimant in such
enforcement action, if successful in whole or in part, is also entitled to be
paid the expense of prosecuting the claim. In any such action Assisted Living
Concepts has the burden of proving that the individual seeking indemnification
was not entitled to the requested indemnification or payment of expenses under
applicable law.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)&nbsp;To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities
offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20&nbsp;percent change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the &#147;Calculation of Registration
Fee&#148; table in the effective registration statement;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
material change to such information in this registration statement.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><I>provided</I>, <I>however</I>, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
Securities and Exchange Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section&nbsp;13 or
15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this
registration statement.

<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">




<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)&nbsp;To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan&#146;s
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions (see Item&nbsp;6) or
otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
Not applicable.
ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.
Not applicable.
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Article V of Assisted Living Concepts' Amended and Restated Articles of
Incorporation ("Article V") dated December, 2001, and Article III, Section 13
of Assisted Living Concepts' Bylaws, as amended ("Section 13"), require
Assisted Living Concepts to indemnify its officers and directors to the fullest
extent authorized by the General Corporation Law of the State of Nevada. The
effect of these provisions is summarized below, but such summary is qualified
in its entirety by reference to the General Corporation Law of the State of
Nevada, Article V and Section 13.
Assisted Living Concepts must indemnify any director or officer who was or
is a party, or is threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative (a "Proceeding"), except an action by or in the right of the
corporation, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or
officer of Assisted Living Concepts against expenses (including any obligation
to pay any attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, and settlements, actually and
reasonably incurred with respect to the Proceeding), if: (i) the conduct of the
individual was in good faith; (ii) the individual acted in a manner reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Assisted Living
Concepts; and (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the individual had
no reasonable cause to believe the individual's conduct was unlawful. The
termination of a Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon
a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent does not, of itself, create a
presumption that the director or officer did not meet such standard of conduct.
Any indemnification provided, unless ordered by a court, shall be made by
Assisted Living Concepts only as authorized in a specific case upon a
determination that such indemnification is proper in the circumstances.
With regard to actions by or in the right of the corporation,
indemnification is limited to expenses, including amounts paid in settlement
and attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Assisted Living Concepts shall not indemnify any director or officer
in connection with a Proceeding in which the director or officer was adjudged
by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals
therefrom, to be liable to Assisted Living Concepts or for amounts paid in
settlement to Assisted Living Concepts unless and only to the extent that the
court permits indemnification based upon a finding that such person is fairly
and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses as the court deems
proper.
Assisted Living Concepts has a mandatory statutory obligation to indemnify
any director or officer who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise,
in the defense of any
Proceeding against all expenses including attorneys' fees, actually and
reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with the
Proceeding.
Section 13 provides that Assisted Living Concepts may pay the expenses
incurred by any officer or director in any Proceeding in advance of its final
disposition, if the director or officer furnishes Assisted Living Concepts with
a written undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay
advanced amounts to the extent that it is ultimately determined that such
person is not entitled to indemnification as authorized by Section 13.
Section 13 further provides that all rights to indemnification and
advances authorized by Section 13 or ordered by a court does not exclude other
rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement may be
entitled, except that indemnification, unless ordered by a court, may not be
made to or on behalf of any director or officer if a final adjudication
establishes that the individual's acts or omissions involved intentional
misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law and was material to the cause
of action.
Section 13 further provides that any right to indemnification or advances
granted to a director or officer shall be enforceable in any court of competent
jurisdiction if the claim for indemnification or advances is not paid in full
within ninety (90) days after written claim therefor. The claimant in such
enforcement action, if successful in whole or in part, is also entitled to be
paid the expense of prosecuting the claim. In any such action Assisted Living
Concepts has the burden of proving that the individual seeking indemnification
was not entitled to the requested indemnification or payment of expenses under
applicable law.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities
offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
material change to such information in this registration statement.
provided
,
however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
Securities and Exchange Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or
15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this
registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions (see Item 6) or
otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant

requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration
statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly
