                                       3
<PAGE>


            (c)   Schedule 2.03 lists each of the Real Property Assets and
sets forth the portion of the Base Purchase Price that is allocable to each of
the Real Property Assets (each, an "Allocable Portion"); provided, that,
Acquiror will revise Schedule 2.03 to reflect adjustments, if any, to the
Allocable Portions of the Acquired Real Property Assets pursuant to Sections
2.09(d) and 10.02. The Allocable Portions shall be the basis upon which the
initial Lease Basis (as defined in the form of Property Lease) is determined
for each of the Acquired Real Property Assets; provided, that upon any
decrease in the Non-ALSF Purchase Price or the ALSF Purchase Price pursuant to
Sections 9.01 or 9.02, the Allocable Portion shall be adjusted by the Excluded
Real Property Basis Adjustment.

            Section 2.04.  Adjustments and Apportionments. (a) Seller and
Acquiror acknowledge and agree that, as of each Closing Date, certain costs
and expenses relating to the Acquired Real Property Assets being acquired by
Acquiror on such Closing Date, including real estate Taxes, water meter and
water charges, sewer rents, and debt service under the Assumed Mortgage Debt
(all such costs and expenses, collectively, "Real Property Expenses"), (x) may
have accrued during the period prior to such Closing Date (the "Pre-Closing
Period") but will not be due and payable by the Seller or a Company until
after such Closing Date (such accrued expenses, if any, that are unpaid as of
each Closing Date being hereinafter referred to as "Accrued Expenses") or (y)
will not accrue until the period on or after such Closing Date (each, a
"Post-Closing Period") but have been paid by the Seller or a Company during
the Pre-Closing Period (such unaccrued expenses, if any, that have been
prepaid as the Closing Date being hereinafter referred to as "Prepaid
Expenses"). The expenses described in this Section 2.04(a) shall be pro rated
as of 12:01 am (New York time) on each Closing Date and apportioned (on the
basis of a 365-day year) to (i) Seller with respect to the Pre-Closing Period
and (ii) Acquiror with respect to the Post-Closing Period (it being
acknowledged and agreed by Seller and Acquiror that each of the Net Tenants
shall, pursuant to the terms of the respective Property Leases, be responsible
for all Real Property Expenses relating to each of the Acquired Real Property
Assets leased by such Net Tenant with respect to the Post-Closing Period,
other than debt service relating to the Post-Closing Period under the Assumed
Mortgage Debt, as set forth in the respective Property Leases).

            (b)   Not later than ten (10) Business Days prior to each Closing
Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Acquiror a written statement setting
forth, as of the anticipated Closing Date, a reasonably detailed good faith
calculation of the apportionments contemplated by Section 2.04(a) for each of
the Acquired Real Property Assets. Acquiror shall have the right to review
such written statement and shall notify Seller of any objection thereto within
three (3) Business Days after the receipt thereof. Seller and Acquiror shall
negotiate in good faith to attempt to resolve any such objection made by
Acquiror, provided that if such parties are unable to agree upon a reasonably
detailed calculation of such apportionments at least five (5) Business Days
prior to the applicable Closing Date, such dispute shall be resolved by a
nationally recognized accounting firm reasonably acceptable to each of Seller
and Acquiror. If Acquiror does not notify Seller of any such objection within
such three (3) Business Day period, Acquiror shall be deemed to have agreed
with the apportionments specified in Seller's written statement. If, after the
applicable Closing, an error or omission in the calculation of the
apportionments set forth above is found by one of the parties, such error or
omission shall be promptly corrected and the party receiving the over-payment
shall pay the amount of the over-payment to the party


                                       4
<PAGE>


entitled thereto. The foregoing obligation to correct apportionments shall
survive the applicable Closing for a period of one-hundred eighty (180) days.

            (c)   The Base Purchase Price shall be (i) reduced by the excess,
if any, of the aggregate amount of Accrued Expenses over the aggregate amount
of Prepaid Expenses and (ii) increased by the excess, if any, of the aggregate
amount of Prepaid Expenses over the aggregate amount of Accrued Expenses, as
such amounts are mutually agreed or finally resolved in accordance with
Section 2.04(b), in each case, without duplication as to any amounts paid or
payable by the Net Tenants under the Property Leases.

            (d)   Acquiror shall purchase the Non-ALSF Shares subject to the
obligations set forth in Schedule 2.04(d) hereof (the "Specified
Liabilities"), which Specified Liabilities shall not be deemed Excluded
Liabilities. At least three (3) Business Days prior to the First Closing Date,
Seller shall deliver to Acquiror payoff statements or other evidence
satisfactory to Acquiror as to the amount of the Specified Liabilities at the
First Closing (the aggregate amount of such Specified Liabilities being
hereinafter referred to as the "Pay-off Amount"), provided, that for purposes
of the last two sentences of Section 2.03, neither the Final Purchase Price,
the Allocable Portion nor the initial Lease Basis (as defined in the form of
Property Lease) shall be deemed reduced by any adjustments to the cash portion
of the Non-ALSF Purchase Price made pursuant to this Section 2.04(d). Acquiror
shall cause the applicable Company to pay the Specified Liabilities at the
First Closing.

            Section 2.05.  Due Diligence Deposit; Purchase Price Deposit .

            (a)   Prior to the execution of the Original Purchase Agreement,
Seller advanced to Acquiror a due diligence deposit in the amount of $125,000
(the "Due Diligence Deposit") to be used by Acquiror to pay any reasonable and
documented costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees and expenses,
incurred by Acquiror, its contractors and consultants in connection with
Acquiror's due diligence review of the Real Property Assets, the Seller and
the Companies (the "Due Diligence Review"). If the First Closing is not
consummated for any reason other than Seller's failure to perform its
respective obligations hereunder, then within ten (10) Business Days after the
termination of this Agreement, Acquiror shall repay to Seller the Due
Diligence Deposit, less any Transaction Costs incurred by Acquiror in
connection with the Due Diligence Review. If Seller fails to perform its
respective obligations hereunder, then Acquiror shall not be obligated to
return to Seller any portion of the Due Diligence Deposit. If the First
Closing is consummated, then Seller shall be entitled to set-off as of the
First Closing Date the Due Diligence Deposit against the Transaction Costs for
which Seller is responsible under this Agreement that have been incurred by
Acquiror.

            (b)   Upon the consummation of the Private Placement, Acquiror
shall advance or cause to be advanced to Seller cash in an amount equal to
$22,500,000 as a good faith, refundable deposit to be applied at the First
Closing against the Non-ALSF Purchase Price (the "Purchase Price Deposit").
If, prior to the First Closing, Seller or its Affiliates sell or otherwise
dispose of any Acquiror Securities acquired by Seller on the date of the
Amended Stock Purchase Agreement (such shares so sold or disposed, "Disposed
Securities"), then cash in the amount of the gross proceeds of such sale or
disposition (but not exceeding the initial purchase price paid by Seller and
its Affiliates for such Disposed Securities) shall be remitted to Acquiror


                                       5
<PAGE>


promptly after such sale or disposition and the Purchase Price Deposit shall
be reduced by a corresponding amount. If the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement are terminated for any reason prior to the First Closing, Seller
shall concurrently with such termination refund to Acquiror the balance of the
Purchase Price Deposit; provided, however, that Seller's obligation to refund
the balance of the Purchase Price Deposit may (at Seller's option) be
satisfied in full upon delivery to Acquiror of (x) any Acquiror Securities
acquired by Seller on the date of the Amended Stock Purchase Agreement which
are then held by Seller and its Affiliates and (y) cash equal to (A) the sum
of (i) any gross proceeds not remitted to Acquiror as provided above in
respect of Disposed Securities and (ii) the amount, if any, by which the
aggregate initial purchase price paid by Seller and its Affiliates for
Disposed Securities exceeds the aggregate gross proceeds received by Seller
and its Affiliates for Disposed Securities, less (B) dividends or
distributions, if any, declared on the Acquiror Securities delivered to
Acquiror in accordance with clause (x) above, and Acquiror shall have no other
recourse against Seller with respect to its obligation to refund the Purchase
Price Deposit.

            (d)   Seller and Acquiror shall jointly prepare and deliver final
closing statements (the "Closing Statements") setting forth (i) the Non-ALSF

      to the applicable title company, and (B) New Survey, if any, in each
      case, required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.10;

                  (ii)  an affidavit, in accordance with the Foreign

                  (iv)  such other documents and instruments as may reasonably
      be required by Acquiror or the applicable title company in order to
      consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to
      otherwise effect the agreements of the parties pursuant to this
      Agreement.

            (f)   In addition to the foregoing, at or prior to each Closing,
(i) Seller will deliver to Acquiror the certificate referred to in Section
6.02(a)(iii), and (ii) Acquiror will deliver to Seller the certificate

            Section 2.07.  Payments and Computations. All payments to be made
by either party under this Agreement will be paid by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated by the party
receiving such payment. All computations of interest with respect to any

the basis of a year of 365 days, in each case for the actual number of days
(excluding the first day, but including the last day) occurring in the period
for which such interest is payable.

            Section 2.08.  Property Due Diligence. (a) Promptly following the
execution of the Original Stock Purchase Agreement, Acquiror shall deliver to
Seller a due diligence document request and checklist (which may be
supplemented from time to time during the Review Period) identifying the
materials requested to be reviewed by Acquiror in connection with the Due
Diligence Review. Not later than fifteen (15) days after the date of the
Original


                                       7
<PAGE>


Stock Purchase Agreement, Seller shall cause the Companies to make available
to Acquiror, its attorneys, accountants and other professional and
consultants, copies of all books, records, documents, reports, analyses,
assessments and other written material relating to each of the Real Property
Assets, including all title insurance policies, surveys, engineering and
environmental reports, operating and capital statements, rent rolls and all
other due diligence materials reasonably requested by Acquiror in connection
with the Due Diligence Review.

            (b)   Acquiror shall have a period (the "Review Period") of sixty
(60) days from the date of the Original Stock Purchase Agreement (the
expiration date of such period being hereinafter referred to as the "Due
Diligence Expiration Date") to complete the Due Diligence Review (including
obtaining and reviewing title commitments or title bring-downs and engineering
reports, environmental reports and surveys relating to the Real Property
Assets). If Acquiror, in its reasonable discretion, determines that any
material matter relating to any of the Real Property Assets (including leases,
historical and projected financial statements and information, operating and
capital statements, title, real estate tax information, billings and
collections, operating and real estate tax pass-through escalation
calculations, survey, engineering, fitness and quality, physical condition,
environmental condition, financial condition of one or more of the tenants,
value and profitability, current or potential uses, current or future zoning
or suitability for renovation or construction) is not acceptable to Acquiror
and that it does not wish to proceed with its acquisition of such Real
Property Asset, then Acquiror may, by written notice to Seller before 5:00
p.m. (New York time) on the Due Diligence Expiration Date (time being of the
essence), terminate the Original Stock Purchase Agreement in its entirety,
whereupon the Original Stock Purchase Agreement shall terminate and be of no
further force and effect as provided in Article VII. If Acquiror does not
elect to terminate the Original Stock Purchase Agreement prior to the time set
forth above, Acquiror's right to terminate the Original Stock Purchase
Agreement pursuant to this Section 2.08(b) shall expire and be of no further
force and effect.

            (c)   Seller shall use reasonable commercial efforts during the
Review Period to permit Acquiror and its Representatives, upon prior
reasonable notice to Seller, and during normal business hours, to access each
of the Real Property Assets for the purpose of inspecting the Real Property
Assets. Seller agrees that any environmental investigation undertaken by
Acquiror may include invasive sampling of soil, groundwater, or parts of
buildings or structures, on any Real Property Asset occupied by or otherwise
affiliated with the Companies without Seller's prior written consent;
provided, however, that Acquiror shall give Seller not less than twenty-four
(24) hours' prior notice thereof (which notice shall include the identity of
the Representatives of Acquiror that will perform such inspections and the
proposed scope thereof) and Seller or its respective Representatives shall
have the right to be present during such inspections. Acquiror shall use
reasonable commercial efforts not to interfere in any material respect with
Seller's use or operation of the Real Property Assets during such inspections.
If Acquiror takes, or causes to be taken, any sample from a Real Property
Asset in connection with the foregoing, Acquiror shall, upon the request of
Seller, provide to Seller a portion of such sample to allow Seller, if it so
chooses, to perform its own testing. If Acquiror performs environmental
sampling, Acquiror shall have Acquiror's environmental consultant carry and
maintain in force, at its expense, at all times during the performance of such
sampling, general liability insurance in the minimum amount of $1 million
combined single limit for injury to or death of one or more persons per
occurrence and for damage to property per occurrence.


                                       8
<PAGE>


Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, Acquiror
shall not, and shall cause its environmental consultant not to, contact or
communicate with any Governmental Authority regarding any Hazardous Materials
on any Real Property Asset, or the environmental condition of any Real
Property Asset, unless required by Law; provided, however, that such
restriction shall not apply following each Closing.

            Section 2.09.  Capital Expenditure Reserves. (a) The Base Purchase
Price was agreed upon between Seller and Acquiror on the assumption that none
of the Real Property Assets is in need of significant deferred maintenance
expenditures, and that the annual capital expenditure requirement of $400 per
unit, which will be set forth in and calculated pursuant to the Agreement
Regarding Leases, is sufficient to provide for anticipated future capital
expenditures to maintain each of the Real Property Assets in their current
condition. If, during the course of the Due Diligence Review in respect of any
Real Property Asset, Acquiror determines, pursuant to third party reports
received by Acquiror (each, an "Acquiror Cap Ex Report"), that the anticipated
costs to perform deferred maintenance and previously unidentified future
capital expenditures reasonably necessary to be performed during the twelve
(12) month period following each Closing Date will exceed the amount of the
capital expenditure requirement for such period as set forth in and calculated
pursuant to the form of Agreement Regarding Leases (the amount of such excess,
with reference to any Real Property Asset, being hereinafter referred to as
the "Cap Ex Reserve Shortfall"), then Acquiror shall provide to Seller not
later than five (5) Business Days after the Due Diligence Expiration Date a
written statement specifying the Cap Ex Reserve Shortfall, if any, for each of
the Real Property Assets, including copies of all Acquiror Cap Ex Reports
supporting such determination. Acquiror shall provide copies of each Acquiror
Cap Ex Report as promptly as practicable after such report shall have been
received by Acquiror. If Acquiror does not timely notify Seller of any Cap Ex
Reserve Shortfall in respect of a Real Property Asset as provided above,
Acquiror shall be deemed to have agreed that the amount of the Cap Ex Reserve
Shortfall in respect of such Real Property Asset is zero.

            (b)   For a period of ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of
the statement delivered by Acquiror in accordance with Section 2.09(a), Seller
shall have the right to review the statement and to obtain its own third party
reports relating to any specified Cap Ex Reserve Shortfall (each such report,
a "Seller Cap Ex Report"). Seller shall provide copies of each Seller Cap Ex
Report as promptly as practicable after such report shall have been received
by Seller. If Seller objects to any Cap Ex Reserve Shortfall specified in
Acquiror's statement in respect of any Real Property Asset and determines,
pursuant to a Seller Cap Ex Report, that the amount of such Cap Ex Reserve
Shortfall is overstated by more than five percent (5%), then Seller shall
provide to Acquiror not later than five (5) Business Days after the expiration
of such review period a written statement specifying the amount of such
overstatement for each of the Real Property Assets, including copies of all
Seller Cap Ex Reports supporting such determination. If Seller does not notify
Acquiror in writing of any objection within such review period, Seller shall
be deemed to have agreed to the amount of each Cap Ex Reserve Shortfall
specified in Acquiror's statement.

            (c)   Seller and Acquiror shall negotiate in good faith to attempt
to resolve any such objection that is timely made by Seller, provided that if
such parties are unable to agree upon the amount of the Cap Ex Reserve
Shortfall for any Real Property Asset within ten (10)


                                       9
<PAGE>


Business Days after the date of the written statement sent by Seller
specifying an overstatement, Seller and Acquiror shall cause the preparers of
the applicable Acquiror Cap Ex Report and the applicable Seller Cap Ex Report
to select an independent third party to provide a capital expenditure report
for such Real Property Asset and the amount of the Cap Ex Reserve Shortfall
specified in such independent report shall be final and binding on Acquiror
and Seller for the purposes of this Section 2.09. The fees and expenses of any
such independent third party shall be a Transaction Cost.

            (d)   Upon Seller and Acquiror having agreed or deemed to have
agreed upon the amount of the Cap Ex Reserve Shortfall (or such amount having
been determined in accordance with Section 2.09(c)), Seller may, at its sole
option: (i) decrease the Base Purchase Price by the amount of the Cap Ex
Reserve Shortfall so agreed or determined; (ii) deposit into escrow (with a
third party mutually acceptable to Seller and Acquiror pursuant to escrow
instructions in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Seller and
Acquiror) on each Closing Date the amount of the Cap Ex Reserve Shortfall so
agreed or determined for disbursement to Acquiror (and its Affiliates) from
time to time after the applicable Closing Date to pay for the deferred
maintenance and capital items specifically identified in the applicable third
party reports; or (iii) direct Acquiror to perform (or to cause third parties
to perform) the deferred maintenance work and the capital items specifically
identified in the applicable third party reports, in which case the Allocable
Portions of the applicable Acquired Real Property Assets shall be increased in
the aggregate by the aggregate amount of the Cap Ex Reserve Shortfall so
agreed or determined (such increase to be allocated by Acquiror among the
applicable Acquired Real Property Assets in such manner as Acquiror shall
reasonably determine).

            Section 2.10.  New Title Policies; New Surveys. During the Review
Period, Acquiror shall have the opportunity to review the existing owner's
title insurance policies and surveys of the Real Property Assets. If, upon
such review, Acquiror shall reasonably determine that the existing owner's
title insurance policy for any Real Property Asset is insufficient to protect
the interests of Acquiror with respect to such Real Property Asset and
Acquiror delivers notice thereof to Seller on or before the Due Diligence
Expiration Date specifying the applicable Real Property Asset and identifying
the interests of Acquiror that are not protected, Seller shall, at its option
and at its sole cost and expense, cause either (a) the title insurance company
that issued the existing owner's title insurance policy for the applicable
Real Property Asset to issue to Acquiror, on each Closing Date, relevant
endorsements to such existing title insurance policies in order to adequately
protect the interests of Acquiror, including a non-imputation endorsement, or
(b) a title insurance company reasonably selected by Seller to provide to
Acquiror on the applicable Closing Date an owner's title insurance policy (or
in the case of a New York-style closing, a marked title insurance commitment
representing such title insurance policy) covering title to the applicable
Real Property Asset in an amount approximating the fair market value thereof
(in either case, a "New Title Policy"). Similarly, if Acquiror shall
reasonably determine that the existing survey for any Real Property Asset is
insufficient to protect the interests of Acquiror with respect to such Real
Property Asset and Acquiror delivers notice thereof to Seller on or before the
Due Diligence Expiration Date specifying the applicable Real Property Asset
and identifying the interests of Acquiror that are not protected, Seller
shall, at its sole cost and expense, deliver to Acquiror, on or before each
Closing Date, a survey of the applicable Real Property Asset performed by a
surveyor licensed in the state in which such asset is located and certified to
Acquiror as having been prepared in accordance with 1999 minimum standard
details


                                      10
<PAGE>


for a land survey jointly adopted by ALTA/ACSM (a "New Survey"). If Acquiror
shall fail to deliver any written notice to Seller contemplated by this
Section 2.10 with respect to any Real Property Asset on or before the Due
Diligence Expiration Date, Acquiror shall be deemed to have waived its right
to request a New Title Policy or New Survey with respect to such Real Property
Asset.

            Section 2.11.  Real Property Matters to which Real Property May Be
Subject. At the First Closing, the Companies shall each own good and valid
insurable fee title to the Acquired Real Property Assets, free and clear of
any and all Liens other than Permitted Liens. At the Second Closing, ALS
Financing shall own good and valid insurable fee title to the ALSF Assets,
free and clear of any and all Liens other than Permitted Liens

            Section 2.12.  No Other Representations. No representation,
warranty or covenant made by Seller in this Agreement or any document
delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive either Closing except as
expressly provided in this Agreement. Acquiror has not relied upon, and Seller
is not liable or bound in any manner by, any verbal or written statements,
representations, real estate brokers' "set-ups" or information pertaining to
the Real Property Assets furnished by any real estate broker, agent, employee,
servant to other Persons unless the same are expressly set forth in this
Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE III

                   REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER

            Seller hereby represents and warrants to Acquiror as follows as of
each of (i) the date of the Original Stock Purchase Agreement, (ii) except
with respect to the Companies to be purchased by Acquiror at the Second
Closing and the Real Property Assets owned by such Companies, the First
Closing Date, and (iii) except with respect to the Companies purchased by
Acquiror at the First Closing, the Second Closing Date and the Real Property
Assets owned by such Companies:

            Section 3.01.  Incorporation, Qualification and Authority of
Selling Parties. Each of the Selling Parties is a corporation, limited
partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, duly formed,
validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the State of Delaware

duly qualified as a foreign corporation, limited partnership or limited
liability company to do business, and is in good standing, in each
jurisdiction where the character of its owned, operated or leased properties
or the nature of its activities makes such qualification necessary, except for
failures to so qualify or be in good standing that, individually or in the
aggregate, do not have, and would not reasonably be expected to have, a
Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Selling Parties has the requisite
corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company power, as the case
may be, to enter into, and to consummate the transactions contemplated by, and
to carry out its obligations under, each of the Transaction Agreements to
which it is or will be a party. The execution and delivery by each of the
Selling Parties of each of the Transaction Agreements to which it is or will
be a party, and the consummation by each of the Selling Parties of the
transactions contemplated by, and the performance by each of the Selling
Parties of its obligations under, each of such Transaction Agreements have
been duly authorized by the


                                      11
<PAGE>


requisite corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company action,
as the case may be, on the part of such Selling Party and its shareholders,
partners or members, as applicable. This Agreement and the Tax Matters
Agreement have been, and at each Closing, each of the other Transaction
Agreements to which any of the Selling Parties is then a party will be, duly
executed and delivered by the applicable Selling Parties, and (assuming due
authorization, execution and delivery by Acquiror) this Agreement and the Tax
Matters Agreement constitute, and as of each Closing each of the other
Transaction Agreements to which each of the Selling Parties is then a party
will constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligations of the applicable
Selling Party, enforceable against it in accordance with their respective
terms, subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, reorganization,
insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or similar Laws relating to or
affecting creditors' rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to
the effect of general equitable principles (regardless of whether such
enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

            Section 3.02.  Incorporation, Qualification and Authority of the
Companies. Each of the Companies is a corporation duly formed, validly
existing and in good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of
incorporation, formation or organization and has the requisite power and
authority to operate its business as now conducted. Each of the Companies is
duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing
in each jurisdiction where the character of its owned, operated or leased
properties or the nature of its activities makes such qualification necessary,
except for failures to so qualify or be in good standing that, individually or
in the aggregate, do not have, and would not reasonably be expected to have, a
Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Companies is a special purpose entity
formed to acquire, hold, finance and lease its respective Real Property
Assets, and, except for the acquisition, holding, financing and leasing of
such Real Property Assets, has not conducted any other business.

            Section 3.03.  Capital Structure of the Companies; Ownership and
Transfer of the Shares. (a) Schedule 3.03(a) sets forth (i) all the authorized
Capital Stock of each of the Companies and (ii) the number of Equity Shares of
each class or series of Capital Stock of each of the Companies that are issued
and outstanding, together with the registered holder thereof. Except as set
forth in Schedule 3.03(a), there are no shares of Capital Stock or other
Equity Shares of any of the Companies issued and outstanding. All the
outstanding Equity Shares of each of the Companies have been duly authorized
and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and were not issued in
violation of any preemptive or subscription rights. There are no options,
calls, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities, or conversion,
preemptive, subscription or other rights, or agreements, arrangements or
commitments, in any such case, obligating or which may obligate any of the
Companies to issue, sell, purchase, return or redeem any of their respective
Equity Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for any of their
respective Equity Shares, and there are no Equity Shares of any of the
Companies reserved for issuance for any purpose. There are no capital
appreciation rights, phantom stock plans, securities with participation rights
or features, or similar obligations and commitments of any of the Companies.
Seller directly and indirectly (through ownership of the Companies) owns all
the outstanding Equity Shares of the Companies, free and clear of all Liens.
Seller has the corporate power and authority to sell, convey, assign,
transfer, and deliver the Shares as provided in this Agreement, and the sale,
conveyance, assignment, transfer and delivery will convey to Acquiror good and
marketable title to such Shares, free and clear of any and all Liens.
Immediately following each Closing, Acquiror (and/or any one or more assignees
duly


                                      12
<PAGE>


designated by Acquiror pursuant to Section 10.07), will directly and
indirectly (through ownership of the Companies) own all the outstanding Equity
Shares of each of the Companies, free and clear of all Liens. Except for this
Agreement, there are no options, calls or warrants or other rights,
agreements, arrangements or commitments obligating (i) Seller to sell any of
the Shares or (ii) any of the Companies to sell any of the Equity Shares of
such Company. Except for this Agreement or as set forth in Schedule 3.03(a),
there are no voting trusts, stockholder agreements, proxies or other rights or
agreements in effect with respect to the voting, transfer or dividend rights
of the Shares or of the Equity Shares of any the Companies. None of the
Companies has any Subsidiaries.

            (b)   Immediately following the First Closing with respect to the
Non-ALSF Shares and the Second Closing with respect to the ALS Financing
Shares, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates will have any claims with
respect to such Shares, respectively (except for any claims for
indemnification under Section 8.02 that may arise following such Closing), or
to any interest, dividends or other distributions in respect thereof.

            Section 3.04.  No Conflict. Provided that all consents, approvals,
authorizations and other actions described in Section 3.05 have been obtained
or taken, except as otherwise provided in this Article III and except as may
result from any facts or circumstances solely relating to Acquiror or its
Affiliates (as opposed to any other third party), the execution, delivery and
performance by Seller of, and the consummation by Seller of the transactions
contemplated by, this Agreement, the Tax Matters Agreement and the other
Transaction Agreements to which Seller will be a party do not and will not (a)
violate or conflict with the organizational documents of any of the Selling
Parties or any of the Companies, (b) conflict with or violate any Law or other
Governmental Order applicable to any of the Selling Parties or any of the
Companies or by which any of them or any of their respective properties or
assets is bound or affected, or (c) result in any breach of or loss of any
contractual benefit under, or constitute a default (or event which with the
giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a default) under, or
give to any Person any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or
cancellation of, or result in the creation of any Lien on the Shares or any of
the assets or properties of any of the Companies pursuant to, or, except for
the consents listed on Schedule 3.04 (the "Seller Required Third Party
Consents"), require any consent or approval which has not been obtained with
respect to, or the payment of any penalty or liquidated damages under, any
note, bond, loan or credit agreement, mortgage, indenture, contract,
agreement, lease, license, permit, franchise or other material instrument to
which any of the Selling Parties or any of the Companies is a party or by
which any of them or any of their respective properties or assets is bound or
affected, except, in the case of clause (c), any such conflicts, violations,
breaches, loss of contractual benefits, defaults, rights or Liens that,
individually or in the aggregate, do not have, and would not reasonably be
expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

            Section 3.05.  Consents and Approvals. Except as may result from
any facts or circumstances solely relating to Acquiror or its Affiliates (as
opposed to any other third party), the execution and delivery by Seller of
this Agreement and the Tax Matters Agreement do not, and the execution and
delivery by each of the Selling Parties at each Closing of the other
Transaction Agreements to which it will be a party will not, and the
performance by it of, and the consummation by it of the transactions
contemplated by, this Agreement, the Tax Matters Agreement and the other
Transaction Agreements to which it is or will be a party will not require


                                      13
<PAGE>


any consent, approval, license, permit, order, qualification, authorization
of, or registration or other action by, or any filing with or notification to,
any Governmental Authority, including under any Environmental Property
Transfer Law (each, a "Governmental Approval"), to be obtained or made by any
of the Selling Parties or any of the Companies that is material (other than
those obtained prior to the applicable Closing Date) or that, if any or all of
which is not obtained or made, could reasonably be expected to prevent or
materially delay the consummation by any of the Selling Parties of the
transactions contemplated by, or the performance by it of any of its
respective obligations under, any of the Transaction Agreements to which it is
or will be a party (each such Governmental Approval, a "Seller Required
Governmental Approval").

Liabilities. (a) Schedule 3.06(a) sets forth (i) the consolidated balance
sheets of Seller and its Subsidiaries as at each of December 31, 2003 and

subject of any proceeding, examination or to Knowledge of Seller,
investigation, by any Health Department or other Governmental Authority
concerning an actual or alleged material violation of any laws, ordinances,

not been and will not be, transferred to any location other than the
applicable Real Property Asset; and (ii) except as set forth in Schedule

Companies and, to Knowledge of Seller, Manager are not involved in any
litigation, proceeding, or investigation (by or with any Person, resident,
Health Department or Governmental Authority) which, if determined or resolved
adversely, would have a material adverse impact on the conduct by Seller or
the Companies of their respective businesses or the applicable Real Property
Asset.

            (c)   Operator Reporting. Seller has made available to Acquiror

Licenses and Material Permits for each of the Real Property Assets (the
"Operator Reports") for the periods set forth therein which are true and
correct in all material respects. All materials reports, documents and
notices, required to be filed, maintained or furnished by Seller or the
Companies to any Governmental Authority with respect to each of the Real
Property Assets have been so filed, maintained or furnished. There are no
defects or deficiencies to or with respect to any Real Property Asset cited in
any survey or inspection report provided, submitted or made by or to any
Governmental Authority under any Law that remains uncured, except defects and
deficiencies being cured in the ordinary course of business in accordance with
permissible procedures of such Governmental Authority and except as set forth
in Schedule 3.24(c).

            (d)   No Violations. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.24(d), to
the Knowledge of Seller, neither Seller, any of the Companies nor any Real
Property Asset is the subject of any proceeding by any Governmental Authority,
and no notice of any violation has been issued, or, to the Knowledge of
Seller, will be issued, by a Governmental Authority that would, directly or
indirectly, or with the passage of time:

                  (i)   impact Acquiror's (or its designees) ability to accept
      and/or retain residents at any Real Property Asset;

                  (ii)  have a material and adverse effect on Seller's, any of
      the Companies' or Manager's ability to accept and/or retain residents or
      operate any Real Property Asset or result in the imposition of a
      material fine or for services rendered to eligible residents; or

                  (iii) modify, materially limit or annul or result in the
      transfer, suspension, or revocation or imposition of probationary use of
      the Operator Licenses.

            (e)   No Facility Violations. Except as set forth in Schedule
3.24(e), no statement of material charges or deficiencies has been made or
material penalty enforcement action has been undertaken against any Real
Property Asset or Seller, any of the Companies or against any officer or
director of Seller or any of the Companies by any Governmental Authority since
January 1, 2003 which remains uncured or which is not in the process of being
cured.

            (f)   No Recoupment Efforts. Except as set forth in Schedule
3.24(f), none of Seller, any of the Companies or Manager is a participant in
any governmental program whereby any Governmental Authority may have the right
to recover funds by reason of the advance of governmental funds.

            (g)   Admissions Hold. There is no suspension, ban or material
limitation upon the admission of residents to any Real Property Asset (i) by
any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the licensure or
certification of such Real Property Asset or (ii) pursuant to any applicable
Law.

            (h)   Substantial Compliance; No Adverse Regulatory Actions.

jurisdiction over any Real Property Asset has: (i) made a determination that
any Real Property Asset is not in compliance in all material respects with any
applicable regulatory requirements that have not been cured; or (ii) taken
adverse regulatory action with respect to any Real Property Asset that is
material in


                                      24

significance and has not been cured, including the imposition of any civil
money penalties in excess of $50,000 that have not been paid.

            Section 3.25.  Books and Records. Seller has delivered or made

                                  ARTICLE IV

                  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF ACQUIROR

            Acquiror hereby represents and warrants to Seller as follows as of
each of (i) the date of the Original Stock Purchase Agreement, (ii) the First
Closing Date, and (iii) the Second Closing Date:

            Section 4.01.  Incorporation and Authority of Acquiror. Acquiror
is a real estate investment trust duly formed, validly existing and in good
standing under the Laws of the State of Maryland and has all requisite trust
power to enter into, and to consummate the transactions contemplated by, and
to carry out its obligations under, each of the Transaction Agreements to
which Acquiror is or will be a party. The execution and delivery by Acquiror
of each of the Transaction Agreements to which Acquiror is or will be a party,
and the consummation by Acquiror of the transactions contemplated by, and the
performance by Acquiror of its obligations under, each of such Transaction
Agreements have been duly authorized by all requisite action on the part of
Acquiror and its shareholders. This Agreement and the Tax Matters Agreement
have been, and at each Closing each of the Transaction Agreements to which
Acquiror is then a party will be, duly executed and delivered by Acquiror, and
(assuming due authorization, execution


                                      25
<PAGE>


and delivery by Seller) this Agreement and the Tax Matters Agreement
constitute, and as of the Closing each of the other Transaction Agreements to
which Acquiror is then a party will constitute, the legal, valid and binding
obligations of Acquiror enforceable against Acquiror in accordance with their
respective terms, subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy,
reorganization, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or similar Laws
relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally and subject, as to
enforceability, to the effect of general equitable principles (regardless of
whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at
law).

            Section 4.02.  Qualification of Acquiror. Acquiror has all
requisite power and authority to operate its business as now conducted and is
duly qualified to do business and, to the extent legally applicable, is in
good standing in each jurisdiction where the character of its owned, operated
or leased properties or the nature of its activities makes such qualification
necessary, except for such failures as would not materially impair or delay
the ability of Acquiror to consummate the transactions contemplated by, or
perform its material obligations under, the Transaction Agreements to which
Acquiror is or will be a party.

            Section 4.03.  No Conflict. Provided that all consents, approvals,
authorizations and other actions described in Section 4.04 have been obtained
or taken, except as otherwise provided in this Article IV and except as may
result from any facts or circumstances relating to Seller or the Companies (as
opposed to any other third party), the execution, delivery and performance by
Acquiror of, and the consummation by Acquiror of the transactions contemplated
by, this Agreement, the Tax Matters Agreement and each of the other
Transaction Agreements to which Acquiror will be a party, do not and will not
(a) violate or conflict with the organizational documents of Acquiror, (b)
conflict with or violate any Law or other Governmental Order applicable to
Acquiror or (c) result in any breach of, or constitute a default (or event
which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a
default) under, or give to any Person any rights of termination, amendment,
acceleration or cancellation of, or result in the creation of any Lien on any
of the assets or properties of Acquiror pursuant to, any note, bond, loan or
credit agreement, mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, lease, license,
permit, franchise or other material instrument to which Acquiror or any of its
Affiliates is a party or by which any of them or any of their respective
assets or properties is bound or affected, except, in the case of clause (c),
any such conflicts, violations, breaches, loss of contractual benefits,
defaults, rights or Liens as would not materially impair or delay the ability
of Acquiror to consummate the transactions contemplated by, or perform its
material obligations under, any of the Transaction Agreements to which
Acquiror is or will be a party.

            Section 4.04.  Consents and Approvals. Except as set forth in
Schedule 4.04, or as may result from any facts or circumstances solely
relating to Seller or its Affiliates (as opposed to any other third party),
the execution and delivery by Acquiror of this Agreement and the Tax Matters
Agreement do not, and the execution and delivery by Acquiror at each Closing
of the other Transaction Agreements to which Acquiror will be a party will
not, and the performance by Acquiror of, and the consummation by Acquiror of
the transactions contemplated by, each of the Transaction Agreements to which
Acquiror is or will be a party will not, require any Governmental Approval,
except where the failure to obtain such Governmental Approval, could
reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay Acquiror from


                                      26
<PAGE>


consummating the transactions contemplated by or performing any of its
material obligations under any of the Transaction Agreements to which Acquiror
is or will be a party.

            Section 4.05.  Securities Matters. The Shares are being acquired
by Acquiror for its own account and without a view to the public distribution
or sale of the Shares or any interest in them. Acquiror has sufficient
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so as to be capable
of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Shares, and
Acquiror is capable of bearing the economic risks of such investment,
including a complete loss of its investment in the Shares.

            Section 4.06.  Financial Ability. Acquiror intends to finance the
Final Purchase Price, in part, by issuing stock in Acquiror pursuant to a
private placement transaction (the "Private Placement") and, in part, by
obtaining third party financing pursuant to one or more credit facilities (the
"Debt Financing"). Subject to receipt of proceeds of at least $530,000,000
upon the consummation of the Private Placement and the Debt Financing,
Acquiror will have, at each Closing, the financial ability to consummate the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

            Section 4.07.  Investigation. Acquiror acknowledges and agrees
that it has made its own inquiry and investigation into, and, based thereon,
has formed an independent judgment concerning, the Real Property Assets, the
Companies and their respective businesses. Acquiror further acknowledges and
agrees that the only representations, warranties, covenants and agreements
made by Seller are the representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements
expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Tax Matters Agreement and Seller
makes and has made no other express or implied representation or warranty with
respect to the Real Property Assets (including with respect to title, physical
condition, environmental condition, fitness and quality, income and expenses
of operation, value and profitability, current or potential uses, current or
future zoning or suitability for renovation or construction), the Companies or
their respective businesses or otherwise or with respect to any other
information provided by Seller or any of its Affiliates or Representatives.
Acquiror has not relied upon any other representations or other information
made or supplied by or on behalf of Seller or by any Affiliate or
Representative of Seller. No officer of Acquiror has actual knowledge that the
representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Article III are
inaccurate or have been breached except for inaccuracies and breaches relating
to matters that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had, or would not
be reasonably expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

            Section 4.08.  Brokers. Neither Acquiror nor any of its Affiliates
has employed any broker or finder or incurred any liability for any investment
banking fees, brokerage fees, commissions or finders' fees in connection with
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Tax Matters Agreement
for which Seller or any of its Affiliates has or could have any liability.

            Section 4.09.  Information Supplied. None of the information
supplied or to be supplied by or on behalf of Acquiror specifically for
inclusion in the Offering Memorandum or the Registration Statement will
contain, at any time the Offering Memorandum is distributed to prospective
investors or the Registration Statement becomes effective under the Securities
Act, as applicable, any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
any material fact required to


                                      27
<PAGE>


be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
except that no representation or warranty is made by Acquiror with respect to
the information supplied by Seller specifically for inclusion in the Offering
Memorandum as set forth in Schedule 3.26. The Offering Memorandum and the
Registration Statement will comply as to form in all material respects with
the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and the rules and
regulations thereunder ("Applicable Securities Rules").

request for any such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, it

with Seller's inquiries for any of the purposes referred to above, including,
at Seller's sole cost and expense, reimbursement to Acquiror or such
Affiliates; provided, that the requesting party will reimburse Acquiror for
the reasonable value of the time and any out-of-pocket expenses of such
Persons who appear as witnesses in hearings or trials at the request of

Acquiror all original books and records of the Companies in the possession of
Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than such book and records in the
possession of the Acquired Companies).

detriment of the other party (including for the purposes of competing with the
other party or its Affiliates), any written, oral or other information
relating to and obtained from the other party or its Affiliates, except that
the foregoing requirements of this Section 5.04(a) shall not apply to a party

such information of such obligation of confidentiality.

            (b)   Acquiror and Seller agree to deal with one another on an
exclusive basis during the term of this Agreement with respect to the
transactions contemplated herein, and Seller shall not solicit or entertain
offers for, or enter into any discussions relating to, any similar
transactions with respect to the sale of the Companies or any of the Acquired

any of its Affiliates be required to agree to (i) the divestiture of any
business or entity or (ii) any requirement imposed by a Governmental Authority
that would reasonably be expected to have a (A) Material Adverse Effect taken
as a whole, or (B) material and adverse effect on the aggregate economic value
and business benefits that would reasonably be expected to be obtained by
Acquiror and its Affiliates from the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement. The parties will cooperate with the reasonable requests of each
other in promptly seeking to obtain all such authorizations, consents, orders
and approvals (including by making available, upon reasonable notice,
appropriate Representatives of the Companies for participation in meetings
with Governmental Authorities).

Governmental Authority and shall provide each other with copies of all
correspondence, filings or communications between such party or any of its
Representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority or members of

Transaction Costs, none of Seller, the Companies or Acquiror shall be required
to compensate any third party, commence or participate in litigation or offer
or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any third party to
obtain any such consent or approval; provided, further, that Seller shall not
be required to incur (i) Transaction Costs (excluding any additional costs
("Additional Insurance Costs") of complying with insurance requirements
required by an Existing Mortgage Lender in order to obtain each of the written
consents and approvals of the Existing Mortgage Lenders in Schedule 5.10(a) in
form and substance satisfactory to Seller in its reasonable commercial
discretion (the "ASLF Consent") in excess of $1,000,000 or (ii) Transaction

Section 5.05(c) to obtain consents and agreements, as applicable, from the
Existing Mortgage Lenders to the effect that (i) each Property Lease shall be
cross-defaulted with the other Property Leases under the Agreement Regarding
Leases, but to the extent such lenders do not agree to the same, the same
shall not be a condition to either Closing, and only the leases appurtenant to
the properties where such consent is obtained shall be cross-defaulted, and

comment on the Registration Statement, each response to any correspondence
from the SEC or the staff of the SEC (or any other Governmental Authority)
relating thereto, and all other documentation prepared in connection with the

responsibility or liability for the content of the Registration Statement
(except as to information supplied by Seller specifically for inclusion or
incorporation by reference therein).

statements of any of the Companies, including as part of the presentation of
any required pro forma financial statements, for any period in any filing to

Statement) or (ii) shall be advised by the underwriters or initial purchasers
in connection with any offering of its securities, including the Private

efforts to facilitate any such audit or review. Seller will also reasonably
cooperate with Acquiror, in connection with any such audit or review and shall

promptly notify the other of any of the following events: (a) the occurrence
or non-occurrence of any event which would be likely to cause (i) any

it is not in compliance with all Environmental Laws in all material respects,
receives written notice from any tenant that such party is in default under
any lease or becomes aware of any material default by a tenant under any

condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder;
provided, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.13 shall
not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available to the party receiving
such notice. In addition, Seller will promptly inform Acquiror of the
happening of any event which would render any information supplied by Seller
specifically for inclusion in the Offering Memorandum or in any Registration
Statement incorrect in any material respect or would require the amendment of
the Offering Memorandum or any such Registration Statement.

not have occurred on or before December 15, 2004 (the "Extended Outside
Date"); provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this
Section 7.01(b) shall not be available to any party whose failure to take any
action required to fulfill any of such party's obligations under this
Agreement shall have been the cause of, or shall have resulted in, the failure
of the First Closing or the Second Closing, as applicable, to occur prior to
such date;

            (c)   by either Seller or Acquiror in the event of the issuance of
a final, non-appealable Governmental Order restraining or prohibiting the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

            (d)   by Acquiror in accordance with Section 2.08(b), 5.10(b),
7.06 or 8.01(b)(i);

            (e)   by Seller in accordance with Section 7.05, or if the Private
Placement shall not have been consummated on or before August 15, 2004; or

            (f)   by either Seller or Acquiror in the event the Stock Purchase
Agreement, dated as of June 18, 2004, as amended, among Fortress Brookdale
Acquisition LLC, Acquiror and BLC Senior Holdings, Inc. (the "Brookdale
Agreement"), is terminated in accordance with its terms.

            Section 7.02.  Notice of Termination. Any party desiring to
terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.01 shall give written notice of
such termination to the other party or parties, as the case may be, to this
Agreement.

            Section 7.03.  Effect of Termination.

            (a)   If this Agreement is terminated prior to the First Closing
as provided in Section 7.01, except as set forth in Section 5.04 and this
Article VII, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no
liability on the part of any party to this Agreement; provided, however, that
nothing in this Agreement shall relieve any party hereto from liability for
any willful breach of the representations and warranties contained in this
Agreement or any failure to perform their respective obligations under this
Agreement.

            (b)   If this Agreement is terminated after the First Closing as
provided in Section 7.01, except as set forth in Section 5.04 and this Article
VII, this Agreement shall forthwith become void with respect to the ALS
Financing Shares and there shall be no liability on the part of any party to
this Agreement with respect to the ALS Financing Shares; provided,


                                      40
<PAGE>


however, that nothing in this Agreement shall relieve any party hereto from
liability under this Agreement in respect of the Non-ALSF Shares or for any
willful breach of the representations and warranties contained in this
Agreement or any failure to perform their respective obligations under this
Agreement with respect to the ALS Financing Shares.

            Section 7.04.  Extension; Waiver. Each party hereto may (a) extend
the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the
other party (it being understood that time is "of the essence" with respect to
the Extended Outside Date), (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations
and warranties of the other party contained in this Agreement or in any
certificate, instrument, schedule or other document delivered pursuant to this
Agreement or (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions
contained in this Agreement for the benefit of such party. Any such extension
or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed
by the party granting such extension or waiver.

            Section 7.05.  Acquiror's Default. If Acquiror fails to purchase
the Non-ALSF Shares on the First Closing Date or the ASL Financing Shares on
the Second Closing Date, and Seller has performed or is ready, willing and
able to convey such Shares hereunder, in each case in accordance with the
terms hereof, then Seller shall have the right to treat this Agreement as
having been breached by Acquiror, in which event Seller's sole and exclusive
remedies on account of such breach shall be (i) the right to terminate this
Agreement by written notice to Acquiror or Acquiror's attorney and to be
reimbursed for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses
incurred by Seller and its Affiliates (including the Companies) or (ii) the
right to sue Acquiror for damages and/or specific performance of this
Agreement. Upon such termination prior to the First Closing, Acquiror shall
forfeit all rights and claims pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the
Shares. Upon such termination on or following the First Closing, Acquiror
shall forfeit all rights and claims pursuant to this Agreement with respect to
the ALS Financing Shares. In the event of such termination, Acquiror shall (i)
immediately return to Seller or destroy all due diligence materials, reports
and studies delivered to Acquiror by Seller with respect to any Companies or
Real Property Assets not acquired by Acquiror pursuant to this Agreement
(without Acquiror retaining copies thereof) and copies of any reports or
studies conducted by or at the direction of Acquiror and in its possession and
(ii) if such termination occurs prior to the First Closing Date, promptly pay
to Seller the Due Diligence Deposit, less any Transaction Costs incurred by
Acquiror in connection with the Due Diligence Review.

            Section 7.06.  Seller's Default. If Seller fails to convey the
Non-ALSF Shares on the First Closing Date or the ASL Financing Shares on the
Second Closing Date and Acquiror is ready, willing and able to purchase such
Shares hereunder, in each case in accordance with the terms hereof, then
Acquiror shall have the right to treat this Agreement as having been breached
by Seller, in which event, Acquiror's sole and exclusive remedies on account
of such breach shall be (i) the right to terminate this Agreement by written
notice to Seller or Seller's attorney and to be reimbursed for all reasonable
and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Acquiror and its
Affiliates or (ii) the right to sue Seller for damages and/or specific
performance of this Agreement.

                                 ARTICLE VIII

                                INDEMNIFICATION

            Section 8.01.  Indemnification by Seller. (a) Subject to the Tax
Matters Agreement, and Sections 8.01(b), 8.03, 8.04, 8.06, 8.07 and 10.01,
Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Acquiror and its Affiliates
(including, without limitation, each of the Companies) and Representatives
(collectively, the "Acquiror Indemnified Parties") against, and reimburse each
Acquiror Indemnified Party for, all Losses that such Acquiror Indemnified
Party may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to, as a result of or
in connection with:

                  (i)   any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or
      warranty made by Seller in this Agreement or in the certificate referred
      to in Section 6.02(a)(iii) (other than any inaccuracy of any
      representation or warranty made by Seller in Section 3.19, which is
      covered by the Tax Matters Agreement);

                  (ii)  any failure by Seller to perform or comply with any of
      its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement;

                  (iii) any Environmental Claim relating to Acquired Real
      Property Assets or the Acquired Personal Property Assets arising out of
      actions, omissions, events or facts occurring on or prior to the
      applicable Closing Date or to the treatment, storage, recycling or
      Release at any property to which Hazardous Material was transported from
      any Acquired Real Property Asset on or prior to applicable Closing Date,
      including the matters described in Schedule 3.11;

                  (iv)  any Third Party Claim arising out of actions,
      omissions, events or facts occurring on or prior to applicable Closing
      Date relating to the assets (including the Acquired Personal Property
      Assets), properties (including the Acquired Real Property Assets) or
      business of Seller and its Affiliates (including the Companies),
      including the Actions and matters described in Schedules 3.08 and
      3.24(e);

                  (v)   any Excluded Assets and any Excluded Liabilities; and

                  (vi)  any fees and expenses payable to attorneys,
      consultants or accountants retained or hired by or on behalf of Seller,
      the Companies and their respective Affiliates and Representatives in
      connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
      Agreements.

            (b)   Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, Seller
shall not be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless any Acquiror
Indemnified Party against, or reimburse any Acquiror Indemnified Party for:

                  (i)   any Losses pursuant to Section 8.01(a)(i) (other than
      Losses arising solely as a result of or in connection with the
      inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller in
      Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 or 3.21, as to which this Section 8.01(b)
      shall not apply) with respect to any claim for inaccuracy or breach of
      representation if (1) any officer of Acquiror obtained actual knowledge
      on or before the


                                      42
<PAGE>


      date of the Original Stock Purchase Agreement that such representation
      was not true and correct or (2) any officer of Acquiror obtained actual
      knowledge (whether during due diligence, by notice from Seller, or
      otherwise) that such representation was not true and correct after the
      date of the Original Stock Purchase Agreement but before the applicable
      Closing Date, unless on or before the applicable Closing Date (x)
      Acquiror shall have notified Seller in writing, providing reasonable
      detail, of such inaccuracy or breach and (y) Seller shall have agreed
      prior to the applicable Closing that Acquiror shall not be obligated to
      close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (it being
      understood that if Acquiror thereafter elects not to so close, this
      Agreement shall automatically terminate and no party hereto shall have
      the right to sue any other party hereto or any Releasee for damages
      and/or specific performance of this Agreement); provided, that Seller
      shall have the burden of proof with respect to clauses (1) and (2)
      above; or

                  (ii)  any Losses pursuant to Section 8.01(a)(i) and (iv)
      with respect to any claim (or series of related claims arising from the
      same underlying facts, events or circumstances), (A) unless such claim
      (or series of related claims arising from the same underlying facts,
      events or circumstances) involves Losses in excess of $25,000 and (B)
      until the aggregate amount of all Losses of the Acquiror Indemnified
      Parties exceeds $650,000, after which Seller shall be liable for all
      Losses of the Acquiror Indemnified Parties, including such $650,000;
      provided, however, that this clause (ii) shall not apply to any Third
      Party Claim relating to or arising out of the operation of the senior
      living business conducted by Seller and its Affiliates and including,
      prior to the applicable Closing Date, by the Companies (the "Seller
      Operations").

            (c)   The cumulative aggregate indemnification obligation of
Seller under Sections 8.01(a)(i), 8.01(a)(iii) and 8.01(a)(iv) shall in no
event exceed $25,000,000 in the aggregate; provided, however, that the
foregoing limitation shall not apply to any Third Party Claim relating to or
arising out of the Seller Operations.

            (d)   For purposes of this Article VIII and for purposes of
determining whether Acquiror Indemnified Parties are entitled to
indemnification from Seller pursuant to Sections 8.01(a)(i) and 8.01(b)
hereof, any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty (other
than any representation or warranty contained in Sections 3.06, 3.07 and 3.18
and the first sentence of Section 3.14, as to which this Section 8.01(d) shall
not apply) of Seller shall be determined without regard to any materiality
qualifications set forth in such representation or warranty, and all
references to the terms "material," "materially," "materiality," "Material
Adverse Effect" or any similar terms shall be ignored for purposes of
determining whether such representation or warranty was true and correct when
made or deemed made.

            Section 8.02.  Indemnification by Acquiror. (a) Subject to
Sections 8.02(b), 8.03, 8.04, 8.06, 8.07 and 10.01, Acquiror shall indemnify,
defend and hold harmless Seller and their respective Affiliates (but not any
of the Companies) and Representatives (collectively, the "Seller Indemnified
Parties") against, and reimburse each Seller Indemnified Party for, all Losses
that such Seller Indemnified Party may at any time suffer or incur, or become
subject to, as a result of or in connection with:


                                      43
<PAGE>


                  (i)   any inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made
      by Acquiror in this Agreement or in the certificate referred to in
      Section 6.01(a)(iii);

                  (ii)  any failure by Acquiror to perform or comply with any
      of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement; and

                  (iii) any Third Party Claim to the extent relating to or
      arising out of any injury or death of any person or any property damage
      inflicted by any Representatives of Acquiror during any entry on or
      inspection of the Real Property Assets, including any invasive testing,
      performed by or on behalf of Acquiror pursuant to Section 2.08(c), but
      excluding any claims arising from (i) property damage arising from
      discovery of an existing condition during such inspection or testing and
      (ii) the presence of groundwater monitoring wells, which at Seller's
      option, Acquiror will either cause to be filled and abandoned in
      accordance with applicable Law or left intact and functional.

            (b)   Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary,
Acquiror shall not be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless any
Seller Indemnified Party against, or reimburse any Seller Indemnified Party
for, any Losses pursuant to Section 8.02(a)(i) (other than Losses arising out
of, resulting from, relating to or in connection with the inaccuracy or breach
of any representation or warranty made by Seller in Section 4.01, 4.02, or
4.08, as to which this Section 8.02(b) shall not apply) (i) with respect to
any claim (or series of related claims arising from the same underlying facts,
events or circumstances), unless such claim (or series of related claims
arising from the same underlying facts, events or circumstances) involves
Losses in excess of $25,000 and (ii) until the aggregate amount of all Losses
of the Seller Indemnified Parties exceeds $650,000, after which Acquiror shall
be liable for all Losses of the Seller Indemnified Parties, including such
$650,000. The cumulative aggregate indemnification obligation of the Acquiror
under Sections 8.02(a)(i) and 8.02(a)(iii) shall in no event exceed
$25,000,000 in the aggregate.

            (c)   For purposes of this Article VIII and for purposes of
determining whether Seller Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification
from Acquiror pursuant to Sections 8.02(a)(i) and 8.02(b), any breach of or
inaccuracy in any representation or warranty (other than any representation or
warranty contained in the last sentence of Section 4.07 as to which this
Section 8.02(c) shall not apply) of Acquiror shall be determined without
regard to any materiality qualifications set forth in such representation or
warranty, and all references to the terms "material," "materially,"
"materiality," or any similar terms shall be ignored for purposes of
determining whether such representation or warranty was true and correct when
made or deemed made.

            Section 8.03.  Notification of Third Party Claims. (a) A Person
that may be entitled to be indemnified under this Agreement (the "Indemnified
Party"), shall promptly notify the party or parties liable for such
indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") in writing of any pending or
threatened claim or demand by a third party that the Indemnified Party has
determined has given or could reasonably give rise to a right of
indemnification under this Agreement (including a pending or threatened claim
or demand asserted by a third party against the Indemnified Party, such claim
being a "Third Party Claim"), describing in reasonable detail the facts and
circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim or demand;
provided,


                                      44
<PAGE>


however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the
Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article VIII except
to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure,
it being understood that (i) notices for claims in respect of an inaccuracy or
breach of a representation or warranty must be delivered prior to the
expiration of any applicable survival period specified in Section 10.01 for
such representation or warranty and (ii) notices for claims in respect of a
breach or failure to perform any covenant or agreement must be delivered prior
to the date that is six months after the last day of the effective period of
such covenant or agreement; provided, further, that if, prior to such
applicable date, a party hereto shall have notified the other party hereto in
writing of a claim for indemnification under this Article VIII (whether or not
formal legal action shall have been commenced based upon such claim), such
claim shall continue to be subject to indemnification in accordance with this
Article VIII notwithstanding the passing of such applicable date.

            (b)   Upon receipt of a notice of a claim for indemnity from an
Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 8.03(a), and subject to Section 8.03(e),
the Indemnifying Party may, by notice to the Indemnified Party delivered
within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt of notice of such claim, assume
the defense and control of any Third Party Claim but shall allow the
Indemnified Party a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of
such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense. The
Indemnified Party may take any actions reasonably necessary to defend such
Third Party Claim prior to the time that it receives a notice from the
Indemnifying Party as contemplated by the preceding sentence. The Indemnifying
Party shall select counsel, contractors and consultants of recognized standing
and competence. To the extent the principal remedy sought in any Third Party
Claim is equitable relief, the Indemnifying Party shall consult with the
Indemnified Party as to the selection of counsel to defend such Third Party
Claim. Seller or Acquiror, as the case may be, shall, and shall cause each of
its Affiliates and Representatives to, cooperate in good faith with the
Indemnifying Party in the defense of any Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying
Party shall not be authorized to consent to a settlement of, or the entry of
any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim, without the consent of any
Indemnified Party, provided that the Indemnified Party shall not withhold its
consent if such settlement or judgment involves solely the payment of money
without any finding or admission of any violation of Law or admission of any
wrongdoing and the Indemnifying Party shall (i) pay or cause to be paid all
amounts arising out of such settlement or judgment concurrently with the
effectiveness of such settlement and (ii) obtain, as a condition of any
settlement or judgment, a complete and unconditional release of each relevant
Indemnified Party from any and all liability in respect of such Third Party
Claim.

            (c)   If any Indemnifying Party receives a notice of a claim for
indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 8.03(a) that does not
involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall notify the
Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days following its receipt of such
notice, whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the
Indemnified Party under this Article VIII. If the Indemnifying Party does not
so notify the Indemnified Party that it disputes such liability, the claim
specified by the Indemnified Party in such notice shall be conclusively deemed
to be a liability of the Indemnifying Party under this Article VIII, and the
Indemnifying Party shall pay, subject to the limitations set forth in Section
8.01(b), if applicable, the amount of such liability to the Indemnified Party
on demand or, in the case of any notice in which the amount of the claim (or
any portion of the claim) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of
such claim (or such portion of such claim) becomes finally determined. If the


                                      45
<PAGE>


Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability with respect to such
claim as provided above, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party
shall resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 10.11.

            (d)   If an Indemnified Party determines in good faith that it is
reasonably likely that a Third Party Claim would materially adversely affect
it other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled
to indemnification under this Agreement (including with respect to remediation
of any environmental matters), the Indemnified Party may, by notice to the
Indemnifying Party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle
such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense, provided,
however, that the Indemnifying Party will not be bound by any determination of
a Third Party Claim so defended or any compromise or settlement effected
without its written consent.

            (e)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Indemnifying Party shall
have any liability under this Article VIII for any Losses arising out of or
relating to any Third Party Claim that is settled or compromised by an
Indemnified Party without the consent of such Indemnifying Party (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

            Section 8.04.  Payment; Interest on Payment. In the event an
Action for indemnification under this Article VIII shall have been finally
determined, the amount of such final determination shall be paid to the
Indemnified Party, on demand in immediately available funds. An Action and the
liability for and amount of Losses, shall be deemed to be "finally determined"
for purposes of this Article VIII when the parties to such Action have so
determined by mutual agreement or, if disputed, when a final non-appealable
Governmental Order with respect thereto shall have been entered. Any amounts
not paid when due pursuant to this Article VIII shall bear interest from the
date thereof until the date paid at a rate equal to the rate publicly
announced from time to time by Citibank, N.A. as its prime or base rate.
Nothing in this Section 8.04 shall operate to bar an Indemnified Party from
seeking and (where appropriate) obtaining interest on any claim to the extent
ordered by a court adjudicating any Action brought by the Indemnified Party
against an Indemnifying Party.

            Section 8.05.  Exclusive Remedies. Each of Seller and Acquiror
acknowledges and agrees that, (a) prior to the First Closing or the Second
Closing, as applicable, other than in the case of actual fraud by the other,
the sole and exclusive remedy of such party for any inaccuracy of any
representation or warranty contained in this Agreement to be made at such
Closing shall be refusal to close the purchase and sale of Shares to be
acquired at such Closing and (b) following the First Closing or the Second
Closing, as applicable, other than in the case of actual fraud by the other or
any of its respective Affiliates or Representatives, the indemnification
provisions of this Article VIII and, with respect to Taxes, the Tax Matters
Agreement, shall be the sole and exclusive remedies for any inaccuracy of the
representations or warranties contained in this Agreement to be made at such
Closing and for any failure to perform or comply with any covenants or
agreements that, by their terms, were to have been performed or complied with
prior to such Closing. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, no Indemnifying Party shall have any liability under this Agreement
for Losses related to Taxes, which Losses shall be governed exclusively by the
Tax Matters Agreement.


                                      46
<PAGE>


            Section 8.06.  Additional Indemnification Provisions. (a) Seller
and Acquiror agree, for themselves and on behalf of their respective
Affiliates and Representatives, that, with respect to each indemnification
obligation in this Agreement, (i) all Losses shall be net of any Eligible
Insurance Proceeds (as set forth in subsection (e) below) and (ii) in no event
shall the Indemnifying Party have liability to the Indemnified Party for any
punitive, incidental, special, indirect or consequential damages, except to
the extent that the Indemnified Party pays punitive, incidental, special,
indirect or consequential damages to a third party in respect of a Third Party
Claim.

            (b)   Any amount payable by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this
Article VIII shall be paid promptly and payment shall not be delayed pending
any determination of Eligible Insurance Proceeds or Retained Insurance
Proceeds. In any case where an Indemnified Party recovers from a third Person,
any amount in respect of any Loss for which such Indemnified Party has
actually been reimbursed by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article
VIII (other than Retained Insurance Proceeds), such Indemnified Party shall
promptly pay over to the Indemnifying Party the amount so recovered (after
deducting therefrom the amount of expenses incurred by it in procuring such
recovery), but not in excess of the sum of (i) any amount previously paid by
the Indemnifying Party to or on behalf of the Indemnified Party in respect of
such Loss and (ii) any amount expended by the Indemnifying Party in pursuing
or defending any claim arising out of such matter.

            (c)   Seller and Acquiror shall treat any indemnification payment
made under this Agreement as an adjustment to the Final Purchase Price.

            (d)   All payments required to be made by an Indemnifying Party
under this Article VIII to any Indemnified Party shall be without set-off,
counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

            (e)   If any portion of Losses to be reimbursed by the
Indemnifying Party may be covered, in whole or in part, by third-party
insurance coverage (each, an "Insurance Policy"), the Indemnified Party shall
promptly give notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (a "Notice of
Insurance"). If the Indemnifying Party so requests within 30 days after
receipt of a Notice of Insurance, the Indemnified Party shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to collect the maximum amount of insurance
proceeds thereunder, in which event (i) all such proceeds actually received,
net of costs reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Party in seeking such
collection, shall be considered "Eligible Insurance Proceeds" and (ii) the
Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all reasonable
costs incurred in connection with such collection and the amount of any
prospective or retroactive increase in premiums actually paid by the
Indemnified Party under the Insurance Policy (as such increased premiums are
incurred) directly related to the payment of Eligible Insurance Proceeds for
such Loss for three years following the next renewal of such Insurance Policy.
If the Indemnifying Party does not request that the Indemnified Party seek
coverage of any portion of such Loss under the Insurance Policy within 30 days
after receipt of a Notice of Insurance, (i) any proceeds that the Indemnified
Party may receive thereunder shall be considered "Retained Insurance Proceeds"
and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have no liability for any premium
increases thereunder relating to the collection of such Retained Insurance
Proceeds.


                                      47
<PAGE>


            (f)   If the indemnification provided for in Subsections
8.01(a)(i) and 8.02(a)(i) with respect to Losses relating to any inaccuracy of
any representation or warranty contained in Sections 3.26 and 4.09 is
unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party, then each
Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses (i) in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Acquiror
Indemnified Parties, on the one hand, and the Seller Indemnified Parties, on
the other hand, from the sale of the shares of common stock of Acquiror in the
Private Placement and the use of the proceeds of the Private Placement or (ii)
if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable
Law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative
benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of
Acquiror Indemnified Parties, on the one hand, and the Seller Indemnified
Parties, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions
which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among
other things, whether the untrue statement of a material fact or the omission
to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Companies,
Seller or Acquiror and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or
omission.

            (g)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article
VIII, to the extent that the Indemnified Party or an Affiliate realizes an
actual Tax benefit as a result of the event giving rise to the indemnity
payment hereunder (such as, by way of example but not limitation, a Tax
savings resulting from the payment of an indemnified amount that is deductible
by the Indemnified Party, in a case in which the indemnity payment itself does
not give rise to gross income for Tax purposes), the Indemnified Party shall
promptly rebate to the Indemnifying Party the amount of such Tax benefit.

            Section 8.07.  Mitigation of Losses. Each of the parties agrees to
take all reasonable steps to mitigate their respective Losses upon and after
becoming aware of any event or condition which would reasonably be expected to
give rise to any Losses that are indemnifiable hereunder. The Indemnifying
Party shall not be liable for Losses hereunder to the extent that such Losses
resulted solely from the Indemnified Party's failure to mitigate its Losses in
accordance with the preceding sentence.

            Section 8.08.  No Recourse to Controlling Persons of Seller. Each
of Acquiror and its respective existing and future Affiliates (collectively,
the "Releasing Parties") does hereby absolutely release and discharge,
effective as of each Closing, each of (i) FEBC-ALT Investors LLC, Emeritus
Corporation, NW Select LLC, their respective existing and future Affiliates
(other than Seller and its Subsidiaries) and their respective existing and
future officers and directors and (ii) the existing and future officers and
directors of Seller and its Subsidiaries (collectively, the "Releasees") from
any and all Losses which any of the Releasing Parties ever had or now has or
have or hereafter can, shall or may have, for, upon or by reason of any
matter, cause or thing whatsoever to the extent arising from, in connection
with, related to or as a result of (a) the matters addressed in this Agreement
with respect to such Closing and the other Transaction Agreements applicable
to such Closing, (b) the Private Placement and (c) any action or inaction of
any of the Releasees relating to or associated with the foregoing, in each
case, relating to any period from the beginning of the world to the end of
time, regardless of when brought; provided, however, such release and
discharge shall not release or discharge (i) any


                                      48
<PAGE>


Releasee from any Losses to the extent arising from, in connection with,
related to or as a result of any fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct
by or on behalf such Releasee and (ii) the Selling Parties and their
respective successors and assigns from any of their respective obligations
under the Transaction Agreements, including the obligations of Seller under
this Article VIII.

                                  ARTICLE IX

                CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION OF THE REAL PROPERTY

            Section 9.01.  Casualty. (a) If, on or prior to the Closing with
respect to a Real Property Asset, all or a "material part" (as defined below)
of such Real Property Asset shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other
casualty (a "casualty event"), then, in any such event, Acquiror may, at its
option, either (i) elect to exclude such Real Property Asset from the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, whereupon such Real Property
Asset shall be deemed to be an Excluded Real Property Asset, the Non-ALSF
Purchase Price and the ALSF Purchase Price, as applicable, shall be reduced by
the amount of net insurance proceeds actually received, or the amount of
insurance proceeds Seller and Acquiror reasonably estimate should be received
with respect to such Excluded Real Property Asset and Seller and Acquiror
shall be released of all obligations and liabilities of whatsoever nature in
connection with such Excluded Real Property Asset (other than Seller's
obligations to cause such asset to be transferred or distributed in accordance
with Section 5.08 and Seller's indemnification obligations hereunder in
respect of Excluded Assets), or (ii) proceed to close the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, in which event all of the provisions of
Subsections 9.01(b)(i) and 9.01(b)(ii) below shall apply. If a Real Property
Asset is elected to be treated as an Excluded Real Property Asset pursuant to
clause (i) of this Section 9.01(a), then Seller shall use all reasonable
commercial efforts to cause such Excluded Real Property Asset to be
transferred from the applicable Company prior to the applicable Closing Date.
If Acquiror shall fail to make an election pursuant to this Section 9.01(a)
prior to the earlier of (A) thirty (30) days after Acquiror's receipt of
written notice of the applicable casualty event from Seller and (B) the
applicable Closing Date, then Acquiror shall be deemed to have made an
election pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 9.01(a).

            (b)   If, on or prior to the Closing with respect to a Real
Property Asset, less than a material part of such Real Property Asset shall be
damaged or destroyed by a casualty event, Acquiror shall nevertheless
consummate the transactions contemplated herein pursuant to all the terms and
conditions of this Agreement (without any adjustment to the Non-ALSF Purchase
Price and the ALSF Purchase Price, as applicable, except as otherwise set
forth herein) with respect to such damaged Real Property Asset, subject to the
following: (i) Seller shall not (x) adjust and settle any insurance claims
with respect to such damaged Real Property Asset, or (y) enter into any
construction or other contract for the repair or restoration of such damaged
Real Property Asset, in each case, without Acquiror's prior written consent
(except no such consent shall be necessary to repair or restore any emergency
or hazardous condition at such damaged Real Property Asset), which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and (ii) at the applicable
Closing, Seller shall (1) pay over to Acquiror the amount of any insurance
proceeds, to the extent collected by Seller in connection with such casualty
event, less the amount of the actual and reasonable unreimbursed expenses
incurred by Seller in connection


                                      49
<PAGE>


with collecting such proceeds and making any repairs to the applicable Real
Property Asset occasioned by such casualty event pursuant to any contract
(provided that such contract was reasonably approved by Acquiror as required
by this Section) and (2) assign to Acquiror in form reasonably satisfactory to
Acquiror all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to any insurance
proceeds that are uncollected at the time of the applicable Closing and that
may be paid in respect of such casualty event. Seller shall reasonably
cooperate with Acquiror in the collection of such proceeds, which obligation
shall survive the applicable Closing. To the extent that insurance proceeds
are paid over to Acquiror with respect to any damage to an Acquired Real
Property Asset pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 9.01(b), Acquiror shall
use reasonable commercial efforts to cause such damage to be repaired;
provided, however, that the foregoing shall not require Acquiror to expend any
funds in excess of such insurance proceeds actually received by Acquiror in
respect of such damage pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 9.01(b).

            For the purpose of this Section, the phrase a "material part" of a
Real Property Asset shall mean a portion of such Real Property Asset the cost
of repair or restoration of such portion is estimated by a reputable
contractor selected by Seller and reasonably satisfactory to Acquiror, to be
in excess of five percent (5%) of the Allocable Portion relating to such Real
Property Asset.

            (c)   If, prior to a Closing with respect to a Real Property
Asset, such Real Property Asset or any portion thereof shall be damaged or
destroyed by a casualty event, Seller shall promptly give Acquiror written
notice of such event, including information in reasonable detail regarding the
extent of the damage to such Real Property Asset or portion thereof.

            Section 9.02.  Condemnation Pending Closing. If, prior to a
Closing with respect to a Real Property Asset, condemnation or eminent domain
proceedings shall be commenced by any competent public authority against such
Real Property Asset or any portion thereof, Seller shall promptly give
Acquiror written notice thereof. After notice of the commencement of any such
proceedings (from Seller or otherwise) and in the event that the taking of
such Real Property Asset pursuant to such proceedings would constitute a
"Material Taking" (hereinafter defined), Acquiror shall have the right (i) to
accept title to such Real Property Asset subject to such proceedings,
whereupon any award payable to Seller shall be paid to Acquiror and Seller
shall deliver to Acquiror at the applicable Closing all assignments and other
documents reasonably requested by Acquiror to vest such award in Acquiror, or
(ii) elect to exclude such Real Property Asset from the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, whereupon such Real Property Asset shall be
deemed to be an Excluded Real Property Asset, the Non-ALSF Purchase Price and
the ALSF Purchase Price, as applicable, shall be reduced by the amount of net
condemnation awards actually received, or the amount of condemnation awards
Seller and Acquiror reasonably estimate should be received with respect to
such Excluded Real Property Asset and Seller and Acquiror shall be released of
all obligations and liabilities of whatsoever nature in connection with such
Excluded Real Property Asset (other than Seller's obligations to cause such
asset to be transferred or distributed in accordance with Section 5.08 and
Seller's indemnification obligations hereunder in respect of Excluded Assets).
For the purposes of Section 9.01(a), a taking shall be deemed to be a
"Material Taking" with respect to any Real Property Asset if such taking
materially and adversely affects access to such Real Property Asset, or leaves
a remaining balance of such Real Property Asset which may not be economically
operated for the purpose for which the Real Property Asset was operated prior
to


                                      50
<PAGE>


such taking, or if in the reasonable estimation of an appraiser selected by
Seller, subject to Acquiror's reasonable approval, the taking would result in
a claim for condemnation proceeds equal to or in excess of five percent (5%)
of the Allocable Portion of the Non-ALSF Purchase Price and the ALSF Purchase
Price, as applicable. If a Real Property Asset is elected to be treated as an
Excluded Real Property Asset pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 9.01(a), then
Seller shall use all reasonable commercial efforts to cause such Excluded Real
Property Asset to be transferred from the Company prior to the applicable
Closing Date. If Acquiror shall fail to make an election pursuant to this
Section 9.02 prior to the earlier of (A) thirty (30) days after Acquiror's
receipt of written notice of the applicable proceedings from Seller and (B)
the applicable Closing Date or if a taking of any Real Property Asset in any
proceedings would not constitute a Material Taking, then Acquiror shall be
deemed to have made an election pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 9.02.

                                   ARTICLE X

                              GENERAL PROVISIONS

            Section 10.01.  Survival. Notwithstanding the First Closing or the
ALSF Closing hereunder, (x) the representations and warranties of Seller and
Acquiror contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement or in any certificate
furnished pursuant to this Agreement shall survive in full force and effect
until the date that is eighteen (18) months after the applicable Closing Date
on which such representations and warranties were made, at which time such
representations and warranties shall terminate and expire (and no claims shall
be made for indemnification under Sections 8.01 or 8.02 after such termination
and expiration); provided, however, that (i) the representations and
warranties made in the sixth sentence of Section 3.03 shall survive the
applicable Closing indefinitely, (ii) the representations and warranties made
in Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 (other than the sixth sentence of Section 3.03),
3.13, 3.19, 3.20, 4.01 and 4.02 shall survive until the expiration of the
applicable statute of limitations and (y) the covenants and agreements of
Seller and Acquiror contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall
survive for the period provided in such covenants and agreements, if any, or
until fully performed.

            Section 10.02.  Expenses; Transaction Costs. Except as may be
otherwise specified in this Agreement (including the $1,000,000 limitations on
certain Transaction Costs as provided in Section 5.05(c)), all Transaction
Costs shall be paid by Seller, except that all cost and expenses incurred by
the Companies and payable to a third party (x) in connection with obtaining
any third-party consent or approval required to be obtained as a condition to
any party's obligations under this Agreement or (y) consisting of legal,
accounting, consulting, actuarial or other professional fees or disbursements,
shall be reimbursed by Seller to the Companies, as applicable, prior to the
applicable Closing. No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the
applicable Closing Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Acquiror a
written notice setting forth the amount of Transaction Costs to be included in
the Non-ALSF Purchase Price and the ALSF Purchase Price, as applicable,
pursuant to Section 2.03, which amount shall increase the Allocable Portions,
and be added to the Lease Basis (as defined in the form of Property Leases)
under the Property Leases in the manner and amounts designated by Acquiror;
provided, however, that the aggregate amount to be included in the Non-ALSF
Purchase Price and the ALSF Purchase Price, and added to the Allocable
Portions and Lease Basis under this


                                      51
<PAGE>


            Section 10.02  shall in no event exceed $6,325,000 (the "Maximum
Capitalized Amount"). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Seller and any of
the Companies relating to Amendment No.1 (the "Amendment Costs") shall be paid
by Acquiror in immediately available funds to the Seller at each Closing. No
Amendment Costs are deemed to be included in the Non-ALSF Purchase Price, the
ALSF Purchase Price or the Final Purchase Price.

            Section 10.03.  Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands
and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be
in writing and shall be given or made (and shall be deemed to have been duly
given or made upon receipt) by delivery in person, by overnight courier
service, by facsimile with receipt confirmed (followed by delivery of an
original via overnight courier service) or by registered or certified mail

            Section 10.04.  Public Announcements. Except as may be required by
Law or Applicable Securities Rules, neither of the parties to this Agreement,
nor any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives, shall make any
public announcements in respect of this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement without the prior consent of the other parties,
and prior to any announcement the parties shall cooperate as to the timing and

parties to this Agreement, nor any of their respective Affiliates or
Representatives, shall make any disclosure concerning plans or intentions
relating to the customers, agents or employees of, or other Persons with
significant business relationships with, the Companies without first obtaining
the prior written approval of the other party, which approval will not be
unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that
Acquiror is a newly-formed real estate investment trust which is in the
process of preparing to implement the Private Placement and, subject to
Sections 5.04(a), 5.11 and 5.12, may disclose the transactions contemplated
hereunder in offering materials or governmental filings in connection with any
securities offerings or as required under Applicable Securities Rules ("REIT
Disclosure"), and any such REIT Disclosure shall be permitted to be made by
Acquiror and its Representatives regardless of the provisions of this Section
10.04.

            Section 10.05.  Severability. If any term or other provision of
this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced under any
Law or as a matter of public policy, all other conditions and provisions of
this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as
the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon
such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or
incapable of being enforced, the parties to this Agreement shall negotiate in
good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the
parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in


                                      53
<PAGE>


order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be consummated as
originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

            Section 10.06.  Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly
provided in the this Agreement, or as otherwise expressly agreed in writing by
the parties, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of Seller and
Acquiror and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings, both written
and oral, between or on behalf of Seller and/or its Affiliates, on the one
hand, and Acquiror and/or its Affiliates, on the other hand, with respect to
the subject matter of this Agreement.

            Section 10.07.  Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assigned
by any party hereto, except that Acquiror may assign any or all of its rights
(but not its obligations) hereunder to one or more Affiliates of Acquiror
designated in a written notice delivered by Acquiror to Seller at least three
(3) Business Days prior to the applicable Closing; provided, however, that no
such assignment by Acquiror shall (x) release Acquiror from any liability or
obligation under this Agreement or (y) be permissible if it could reasonably
be expected to delay, hinder or jeopardize the consummation of any
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding
upon, shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by Seller and
Acquiror and their permitted successors and assigns.

            Section 10.08.  No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided
in Article VIII with respect to Seller Indemnified Parties, Acquiror
Indemnified Parties and the Releasees, this Agreement is for the sole benefit
of the parties to this Agreement and their successors and permitted assigns
and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall
confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy
of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

            Section 10.09.  Amendment. No provision of this Agreement may be
amended, waived or modified except by a written instrument signed by all the
parties to such agreement.

            Section 10.10.  Disclosure Schedules. Any disclosure with respect
to a Schedule shall be deemed to be disclosed for other Sections of this
Agreement to the extent that such disclosure sets forth facts in sufficient
detail so that the relevance of such disclosure would be reasonably apparent
to a reader of such disclosure; provided, however, that no representation or
warranty contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to be modified or
qualified by any disclosure set forth in the Schedules, if, by its terms, such
representation or qualification is incapable of being modified or qualified by
any disclosure set forth in the Schedules. No reference to or disclosure of
any item or other matter in any Section or Schedule of this Agreement shall be
construed as an admission or indication that such item or other matter is
material or that such item or other matter is required to be referred to or
disclosed in this Agreement.

            Section 10.11.  Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction;
Waivers. THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED
BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES OF SUCH
STATE THAT MIGHT REFER THE


                                      54
<PAGE>


GOVERNANCE, CONSTRUCTION OR INTERPRETATION OF SUCH AGREEMENTS TO THE LAWS OF
ANOTHER JURISDICTION. EACH OF SELLER AND ACQUIROR AGREES IRREVOCABLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY TO:

            (a)   submit for itself and its property in any Action relating to
this Agreement, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect
thereof, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of the State of New York
sitting in the County of New York, the court of the United States of America
for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts having
jurisdiction of appeals from any of the foregoing, and agrees that all claims
in respect of any such Action shall be heard and determined in such New York
State court or, to the extent permitted by Law, in such federal court;

            (b)   consent that any such Action may and shall be brought in
such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the
venue or jurisdiction of any such Action in any such court or that such Action
was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the
same;

            (c)   WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION (WHETHER
BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF

            (d)   agree that service of process in any such Action may be
effected by mailing a copy of such process by registered or certified mail (or
any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such party at its
address as provided in Section 10.03; and

            (e)   agree that nothing in this Agreement shall affect the right
to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by the Laws of the
State of New York.

            Section 10.12.  Specific Performance. Seller acknowledges that, in
view of the uniqueness of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
Acquiror would not have an adequate remedy at law for money damages in the
event that transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not have been
performed in accordance with its terms, and therefore agree that Acquiror
shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof and any other
similar equitable remedy to which Acquiror may be entitled.

            Section 10.13.  Rules of Construction. Interpretation of this
Agreement shall be governed by the following rules of construction: (a) words
in the singular shall be held to include the plural and vice versa, and words

requires; (b) references to the terms Article, Section, paragraph, Exhibit and
Schedule are references to the Articles, Sections, paragraphs, Exhibits and
Schedules to this Agreement unless otherwise specified; (c) references to "$"

to "insurance policy" shall include all related riders and amendments; (g)
provisions shall apply, when appropriate, to successive events and
transactions; (h) the headings contained in this Agreement are for reference

interpretation of this Agreement; and (i) this Agreement shall be construed
without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or
interpretation against the party drafting or causing any instrument to be
drafted.

            Section 10.14.  Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in
one or more counterparts, and by the different parties to each such agreement
in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an
original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this
Agreement by facsimile shall be as effective as delivery of a manually
