                  refers to Alterra Healthcare Corporation, a national assisted living
                  company headquartered in Milwaukee,

                  company.

                  officer.
Item
        1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
We
        currently own an interest in an LLC that acquired Alterra. The Members of
        the
        LLC consist of an affiliate of Fortress, the managing member (50%), NW (25%)
        and
        us (25%). We originally invested approximately $7.7 million in cash for our
        interest in the LLC, and currently carry our investment at approximately
        $6.9
        million after recording our equity share of losses in Alterra of approximately
        $800,000.
Fortress
        has offered to buy 50% of the interest of both NW and us for $50 million
        in
        cash, $25 million each to NW and us. The parties contemplate entering into
        a
        Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") whereby, concurrent
        with the sale and purchase of the membership interests, the parties will
        enter
        into an Amended and Restated LLC Agreement (the "Amended LLC"). The resultant
        membership interest of the Amended LLC will be Fortress (75%), NW (12.5%)
        and us
        (12.5%). After completion of the sale and purchase, neither we nor NW will
        have
        board representation on the Amended LLC governing body or Alterra's governing
        body.
Under
        the
        Amended LLC, we agree to provide an indirect guarantee of an obligation of
        Alterra. The primary guarantor is an affiliate of Fortress (the "Affiliate").
        The Affiliate has agreed to guarantee the proposed purchase by Alterra of
        six
        properties that are currently operated by Alterra under a lease agreement
        with
        Omega Healthcare Investors ("Omega"). We agree to pay our proportional
        membership interest (12.5%) of any amount that the Affiliate is required
        to pay
        under the guarantee, not to exceed $2,550,000.
