                                  MASTER LEASE
                                 (NHP PORTFOLIO)

      This "MASTER LEASE" is entered into effective as of April 9, 2002 (the
"EFFECTIVE DATE") among the ENTITIES LISTED ON SCHEDULE 1A (collectively,
"LANDLORD"), and ALTERRA HEALTHCARE CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation
("TENANT"), for the respective real properties and improvements thereon
(collectively, the "FACILITIES") as set forth on Schedule 1 and as legally
described on Exhibit A and the "LANDLORD PERSONAL PROPERTY" associated therewith
as described in Exhibit B (specifically excluding vehicles and supplies) or as
may be acquired after the Effective Date (collectively, the "PREMISES"), each
used as a licensed healthcare facility of the type described on Schedule 2
(individually as so utilized, and collectively, the "BUSINESS"). Landlord and
Tenant have also concurrently entered into a LETTER OF CREDIT AGREEMENT (the "LC
AGREEMENT") pursuant to which Tenant shall provide certain collateral to
Landlord for the performance of its obligations under this Master Lease. In
consideration of the mutual covenants, conditions and agreements set forth
herein, Landlord hereby leases the Premises to Tenant for the Term upon the
terms and conditions provided below. Certain capitalized terms used in this
Master Lease are defined on Exhibit E.

                    RECOGNITION OF INDIVISIBLE MASTER LEASE;
                      IRREVOCABLE WAIVER OF CERTAIN RIGHTS

      Tenant acknowledges and agrees that this Master Lease constitutes a
single, indivisible lease of the entire Premises, and the Premises constitutes a
single economic unit. The Minimum Rent, other Rent payable hereunder and all
other provisions contained herein have been negotiated and agreed upon based on
the intent to lease the entirety of the Premises as a single and inseparable
transaction, and such Minimum Rent, other Rent and other provisions would have
been materially different had the parties intended to enter into separate leases
or a divisible lease. Any Event of Default under this Master Lease shall
constitute an Event of Default as to the entire Premises.

      Tenant further acknowledges and agrees that Landlord is entering into this
Master Lease as an accommodation to Tenant. Each of the entities comprising
Tenant, in order to induce Landlord to enter into this Master Lease, to the
extent permitted by law:

      A. Agrees, acknowledges and is forever estopped from asserting to the
contrary that the statements set forth in the preceding paragraphs of this
Section are true, correct and complete;

      B. Agrees, acknowledges and is forever estopped from asserting to the
contrary that this Master Lease is a new and de novo lease, separate and
distinct from any other lease between any of the entities comprising Tenant and
any of the entities comprising Landlord that may have existed prior to the date
hereof;

      C. Agrees, acknowledges and is forever estopped from asserting to the
contrary that this Master Lease is a single lease pursuant to which the
collective Premises are demised as a whole to Tenant;

                                       1

      D.    Agrees, acknowledges and is forever estopped from asserting to the
contrary that if, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, this Master
Lease were to be determined or found to be in any proceeding, action or
arbitration under state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency, debtor-relief or
other applicable laws to constitute multiple leases demising multiple
properties, such multiple leases could not, by the debtor, trustee, or any other
party, be selectively or individually assumed, rejected or assigned;

      E.    Forever knowingly waives and relinquishes any and all rights under
or benefits of the provisions of the Federal Bankruptcy Code Section 365 (11
U.S.C. Section 365), or any successor or replacement thereof or any analogous
state law, to selectively or individually assume, reject or assign the multiple
leases comprising this Master Lease following a determination or finding in the
nature of that described in the foregoing Section D.

      1. TERM. The "TERM" of this Master Lease is the Initial Term plus all
Renewal Terms, and a "LEASE YEAR" is (a) with respect to the first Lease Year,
the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on December 31, 2002 and
(b) with respect to all subsequent Lease Years, each subsequent and consecutive
twelve (12) month period commencing on January 1st of each year of the Term. The
"INITIAL TERM" commences on April 10, 2002 and ends on December 31, 2021, and
may be extended for two (2) separate "RENEWAL TERMS" of ten (10) years each if:
(a) not more than thirty (30) days before or after the date that is fifteen (15)
months prior to the end of the then current Term, Tenant delivers to Landlord
written notice (a "RENT DETERMINATION NOTICE") that Tenant desires to determine
the applicable Minimum Rent for a subsequent Renewal Term pursuant to the
provisions of Section 2.3 below for the purpose of evaluating whether Tenant
desires to exercise its right to extend the then current Term for one (1)
Renewal Term, (b) on or prior to the date that is twelve (12) months prior to
the end of the then current Term, Tenant delivers to Landlord written notice (a
"RENEWAL NOTICE"), which shall be irrevocable by Tenant, stating that it desires
to exercise its right to extend this Master Lease for one (1) Renewal Term; (c)
there is no Event of Default on the date Landlord receives the Rent
Determination Notice (the "EXERCISE DATE"), the date Landlord receives the
Renewal Notice or on the last day of the then current Term; and (d) the Minimum
Rent for the Renewal Term is determined pursuant to Section 2.3 on or before the
date that is twelve (12) months prior to the end of the then current Term.

      2. RENT. During the Initial Term and all Renewal Terms Tenant shall pay to
Landlord minimum rent ("MINIMUM RENT") and additional rent ("ADDITIONAL RENT")
as follows:

            2.1 INITIAL TERM MINIMUM RENT. During the Initial Term, Tenant shall
pay to Landlord Minimum Rent of NINETEEN MILLION TWO HUNDRED THIRTY-THREE
THOUSAND DOLLARS ($19,233,000) annually. Such Minimum Rent with respect to each
month shall be paid in advance and in equal monthly installments of ONE MILLION
SIX HUNDRED TWO THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY DOLLARS ($1,602,750) on the first
business day of each such calendar month. Upon the disbursement of CapEx Funds
by Landlord pursuant to Section 8.3(b), the annual Minimum Rent shall be
increased as provided therein, which increased Minimum Rent shall be due and
payable by Tenant on the first business day of each calendar month.

            2.2 INITIAL TERM ADDITIONAL RENT.

            (a) Commencing with respect to the calendar quarter beginning April
1, 2003 and ending June 30, 2003 and continuing each calendar quarter thereafter
during the Initial Term, Tenant agrees to pay Additional Rent to Landlord on a
quarterly basis in arrears no more than forty-five (45) days after the end of
each quarter of the Lease Year. Such Additional Rent shall be equal to the sum
of (i) sixteen percent (16%) of the amount by which the Gross Revenues for the
applicable calendar quarter exceed one-fourth (1/4) of the Base Gross Revenues,
and (ii) twelve percent (12%) of the amount by which the Gross Revenues for the
Meditrust Carolina Facilities for the applicable calendar quarter exceed
one-fourth (1/4) of the Base Gross Revenues for the Meditrust Carolina
Facilities.

            (b) "GROSS REVENUES" shall be calculated according to generally
accepted accounting principles consistently applied ("GAAP") and shall be
defined as all revenues generated by the operation, sublease and/or use of the
Premises in any way, excluding (i) contractual allowances during the Term for
billings not paid by or received from the appropriate governmental agencies or
third party providers; (ii) all proper resident billing credits and adjustments
according to GAAP relating to health care accounting; (iii) federal, state or
local sales or excise taxes and any tax based upon or measured by said revenues
which is added to or made a part of the amount billed to the resident or other
recipient of such services or goods, whether included in the billing or stated
separately; and (iv) the Gross Revenues for the Meditrust Carolina Facilities.
"BASE GROSS REVENUES" shall mean the Gross Revenues for the period commencing on
January 1, 2002 and ending on December 31, 2002, as adjusted pursuant to Section
2.4.

            (c) "GROSS REVENUES FOR THE MEDITRUST CAROLINA FACILITIES" shall be
calculated according to GAAP and shall be defined as all revenues generated by
the operation, sublease and/or use of the Meditrust Carolina Facilities in any
way, excluding (i) contractual allowances during the Term for billings not paid
by or received from the appropriate governmental agencies or third party
providers; (ii) all proper resident billing credits and adjustments according to
GAAP relating to health care accounting; and (iii) federal, state or local sales
or excise taxes and any tax based upon or measured by said revenues which is
added to or made a part of the amount billed to the resident or other recipient
of such services or goods, whether included in the billing or stated separately.
"BASE GROSS REVENUES FOR THE MEDITRUST CAROLINA FACILITIES" shall mean the Gross
Revenues for the Meditrust Carolina Facilities for the period commencing on
January 1, 2002 and ending on December 31, 2002, as adjusted pursuant to Section
2.4.

            2.3 RENEWAL TERM MINIMUM RENT. The Minimum Rent for each Renewal
Term shall be expressed as an annual amount but shall be payable in advance in
equal monthly installments on the first business day of each calendar month.

            (a) Such annual Minimum Rent shall be equal to the product of: (a)
the greater of (i) the fair market value of the Premises on the date of Tenant's
notice of exercise to extend for a Renewal Term pursuant to Section 1 or (ii)
Landlord's Investment in the Premises of ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY-TWO MILLION NINE
HUNDRED FORTY-NINE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($172,949,000), plus, as of the date of such
funding, the amount of up to FOUR MILLION DOLLARS ($4,000,000) of

9393.9 (NHP Portfolio Lease)

                                       3
<PAGE>

CapEx Funding which may be funded by Landlord or otherwise made available to
Tenant pursuant to Section 8.3(b), plus any amount for Alterations advanced by
Landlord pursuant to Section 8.4, plus any amount elected to be added by
Landlord pursuant to Section 13.4 and plus any other amount that, in accordance
with any other term of provision of this Master Lease, is to be added to
Landlord's Investment (including, without limitation, pursuant to the provision
of Section 26.2), and minus any net award paid to Landlord for a Partial Taking
pursuant to Section 18, minus any amounts to be subtracted therefrom as a result
of the sale or other disposition of any of the Meditrust Carolina Facilities
pursuant to Section 23.3 and minus any other net capital proceeds received by
Landlord for any portion of the Premises sold or conveyed, including any portion
of the Premises as to which Tenant acquires title pursuant to the operation of
the Put set forth in Section 13.2 or otherwise, as to any portion of the
Premises for which this Master Lease is terminated during the Term in accordance
with its terms, and minus any other amount that, in accordance with any other
term of provision of this Master Lease, is to be subtracted from Landlord's
Investment (as so adjusted, "LANDLORD'S INVESTMENT"); and (b) a percentage equal
to three hundred (300) basis points over the ten (10) year United States
Treasury rate as determined on a 30-day trading average immediately prior to the
date of Tenant's notice of exercise pursuant to Section 1.

            (b) If within ten (10) days of the date of Tenant's notice of
exercise to determine the applicable Minimum Rent for a subsequent Renewal Term
pursuant to Section 1, Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on the fair
market value of the Premises for purposes of this calculation, such fair market
value shall be established by the appraisal process described on Exhibit C. The
Minimum Rent for the applicable Renewal Term must be finally determined by such
appraisal process on or before twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the
then current Term or Tenant shall lose its right to extend the Term. Landlord
and Tenant acknowledge and agree that this Section is designed to establish a
fair market Minimum Rent for the Premises during the applicable Renewal Terms.

            2.4 RENEWAL TERM ADDITIONAL RENT. Except during the first Lease Year
of any Renewal Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Additional Rent in each
Renewal Term on a quarterly basis in arrears no more than forty-five (45) days
after the end of each Lease Year quarter. The Additional Rent for each Renewal
Term shall be calculated as provided in Section 2.2 except that the Base Gross
Revenues and the Base Gross Revenues for the Meditrust Carolina Facilities for
the purpose of determining such Additional Rent shall be the respective amount
of Gross Revenues and Gross Revenues for the Meditrust Carolina Facilities for
the first Lease Year of the applicable Renewal Term.

            2.5 TOTAL RENT. For all purposes of calculating and paying Minimum
Rent and Additional Rent under this Lease, the total of the Minimum Rent plus
Additional Rent payable by Tenant in any Lease Year will not be less than the
total Minimum Rent plus Additional Rent paid by Tenant for the previous Lease
Year.

            2.6 RENT CAP AND FLOOR.

            (a) Notwithstanding any of the other terms of this Section 2 but
subject to subsections (b) and (d) below, the total of the Minimum Rent and
Additional Rent due during each Lease Year shall not increase from one Lease
Year to the next by an amount in excess of

9393.9 (NHP Portfolio Lease)

                                       4
<PAGE>

(i) TWO AND SEVEN-TENTHS PERCENT (2.7%), multiplied by (ii) the sum of the
Minimum Rent and the Additional Rent due during the immediately preceding Lease
Year (the "ANNUAL RENT CAP"). For purposes of applying the Annual Rent Cap to
the quarterly installments of Additional Rent due under Section 2.2, the Minimum
Rent and Additional Rent due during each quarter of any Lease Year shall not
increase by an amount in excess of one-fourth (1/4) of the Annual Rent Cap for
the then applicable Lease Year.

            (b) The terms of subsection (a) above shall have no applicability in
determining the calculation of the Minimum Rent or Additional Rent due during
the first Lease Year of any Renewal Term.

            (c) Notwithstanding any of the other terms of this Lease but subject
to subsection (d) below, in no event shall the Minimum Rent in the first Lease
Year of any Renewal Term exceed ONE HUNDRED FIFTEEN PERCENT (115%) of the total
Minimum Rent plus Additional Rent due for the last Lease Year in the Initial
Term or preceding Renewal Term, as applicable.

            (d) Notwithstanding any of the other terms of this Section 2, the
terms of Section 2.5 above shall continue to apply such that the sum of the
Minimum Rent and the Additional Rent due during any Lease Year shall in no event
be less than the sum of the Minimum Rent and the Additional Rent due during the
immediately preceding Lease Year.

            (e) To the extent that subsection (a) above operates to limit the
rent for any Lease Year, the amount of rent which would have otherwise been paid
or payable by Tenant will be carried forward on a cumulative basis and will be
paid by Tenant to Landlord in any subsequent Lease Year (other than the first
Lease Year of a Renewal Term) to the extent that the total of the Minimum Rent
and Additional Rent for such Lease Year is less than ONE HUNDRED TWO AND
SEVEN-TENTHS PERCENT (102.7%) of the total of the Minimum Rent and Additional
Rent for the then immediately preceding Lease Year.

            (f) To the extent that subsection (c) above operates to limit the
Minimum Rent for any Renewal Term, the amount of rent which would have otherwise
been paid or payable by Tenant in such Renewal Term will be carried forward and
will be paid by Tenant to Landlord in the subsequent Renewal Term (evenly
divided over all of the months in such subsequent Renewal Term) to the extent
that the Minimum Rent for such subsequent Renewal Term is less than ONE HUNDRED
FIFTEEN PERCENT (115%) of the total of the Minimum Rent and Additional Rent for
the last Lease Year in the preceding Renewal Term.

            (g) For the purpose of comparing the total of Minimum Rent and
Additional Rent from Lease Year to Lease Year pursuant to Sections 2.6(a) and
2.6(d) above, the increase in Minimum Rent by reason of any disbursement by
Landlord pursuant to Section 8.3 or Section 8.4 of the Lease shall be treated as
follows: (i) for the purpose of comparing the total rent in the Lease Year in
which such disbursement is made against the total rent in the preceding Lease
Year, such increase in Minimum Rent shall be ignored, and (ii) for the purpose
of comparing the total rent in the Lease Year in which such disbursement is made
to the total rent in the following Lease Year, such increase in Minimum Rent
shall be deemed effective on the first day of the Lease Year in which the
disbursement is made.

            2.7 PRORATION FOR PARTIAL PERIODS. The rent for any month during the
Term which begins or ends on other than the first or last calendar day of a
calendar month shall be prorated based on actual days elapsed.

            2.8 FORM FOR ADDITIONAL RENT. Tenant shall accompany each quarterly
payment of Additional Rent with a completed calculation supporting such payment
in a form mutually approved by Landlord and Tenant setting forth the final
calculation of Additional Rent due with respect to such quarter.

            2.9 PAYMENT TERMS. All Rent and other payments to Landlord shall be
paid by WIRE TRANSFER ONLY. Minimum Rent and all amounts to be paid concurrently
therewith shall be paid in advance in equal monthly installments on or before
the first (1st) business day of each calendar month (or, with respect to the
first such payment due hereunder, on the Effective Date).

            2.10 ABSOLUTE NET LEASE. All Rent payments shall be absolutely net
to Landlord, free of any and all Taxes, Other Charges, and operating or other
expenses of any kind whatsoever, all of which shall be paid by Tenant. Tenant
shall continue to perform its obligations under this Master Lease even if Tenant
claims that it has been damaged by Landlord. Thus, Tenant shall at all times
remain obligated under this Master Lease without any right of set-off,
counterclaim, abatement, deduction, reduction or defense of any kind; provided,
however, that the foregoing shall not preclude Tenant from bringing a separate
action against Landlord for breach of its obligations under Section 24. Tenant's
sole right to recover damages against Landlord under this Master Lease shall be
to prove such damages in a separate action.

      3. LATE CHARGES. The late payment of Rent or other amounts due will cause
Landlord to lose the use of such money and incur administrative and other
expenses not contemplated under this Master Lease. While the exact amount of the
foregoing is extremely difficult to ascertain, the parties agree that as a
reasonable estimate of fair compensation to Landlord, if any Rent or other
amount is not paid (a) within five (5) days after the due date for such payment,
then Tenant shall thereafter pay to Landlord on demand a LATE CHARGE equal to
FIVE PERCENT (5%) of such delinquent amounts, and (b) within ten (10) days after
the due date for such payment, such unpaid amount shall ACCRUE INTEREST from
such date at the "AGREED RATE" of FIVE PERCENT (5%) PLUS THE PRIME RATE of
interest then charged by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., San Francisco, CA.

      4. SECURITY DEPOSIT; COLLATERAL FOR LEASE OBLIGATIONS.

            4.1 Tenant shall maintain with Landlord cash securing Tenant's
faithful performance of its obligations under this Master Lease (the "SECURITY
DEPOSIT"), Letters of Credit (as defined in the LC Agreement) as partial
collateral for the Master Lease obligations or a combination thereof
(collectively, the "SECURITY DEPOSIT AND COLLATERAL"). Each Letter of Credit
shall be in the form set forth in, and shall otherwise be in compliance with the
terms of, the LC Agreement. Neither Letters of Credit, nor any proceeds from any
draw on any Letter of Credit, shall constitute a security deposit or any part of
the Security Deposit hereunder. The amount of the Security Deposit and the
aggregate undrawn face amounts of all Letters of Credit comprising the Security
Deposit and Collateral shall at all times during the Term be equal to, in the
aggregate, FOUR MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED NINETY THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED THIRTY-EIGHT
DOLLARS ($4,790,838), (the "SECURITY DEPOSIT AND COLLATERAL AMOUNT").

9393.9 (NHP Portfolio Lease)

                                       6
<PAGE>

            4.2 Landlord may apply the Security Deposit and Collateral (cash
from the Security Deposit and proceeds of any draw on a Letter of Credit), in
whole or in part, against any Event of Default, as otherwise permitted in any
Letter Credit or may use such amounts for any other purpose allowed under
applicable law. If Landlord so applies all or any portion of the Security
Deposit and Collateral, Tenant shall, subject to the provisions of Section 4.3,
within five (5) days of such application by Landlord and without the requirement
of notice or demand by Landlord, deposit cash or post additional Letters of
Credit such that the total amount of cash and undrawn face amounts of Letters of
Credit comprising the Security Deposit and Collateral is equal to the Security
Deposit and Collateral Amount.

            4.3 On or before the date (the "REPLACEMENT DATE"), as reasonably
determined by Landlord and Tenant, that Letters of Credit become available to
Tenant on commercially reasonable terms, Tenant shall have replaced the Security
Deposit with Letters of Credit such that, on and after the Replacement Date, the
Security Deposit and Collateral shall be represented entirely by Letters of
Credit. Upon Landlord's receipt of any Letter of Credit provided by Tenant in
exchange for a portion of the Security Deposit pursuant to this Section 4.3,
Landlord shall promptly return to Tenant cash from the Security Deposit in the
amount of the undrawn face amount of such Letter of Credit. In the absence of
Landlord's prior written approval, which may be granted, withheld or conditioned
in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion, the portion of the Security Deposit
and Collateral represented by Letters of Credit prior to the Replacement Date
shall not be decreased.

      5. TAXES AND OTHER CHARGES.

            5.1 TENANT'S OBLIGATIONS. At the end of the Term, all Taxes and
Other Charges shall be prorated. Landlord shall promptly forward to Tenant
copies of all bills and payment receipts for Taxes or Other Charges received by
it. Tenant shall pay and discharge (including the filing of all required
returns), prior to delinquency or imposition of any fine, penalty, interest or
other cost ("PENALTY"), (a) "TAXES", consisting of any property (real and
personal) and other taxes and assessments levied or assessed with respect to
this Master Lease or any portion of the Premises during or prior to the Term or
any amounts due under payment in lieu of taxes or impact fee agreements or
similar arrangements (excluding any income tax of Landlord and any intangible,
mortgage or transfer tax or stamps for its transfer of any interest in any
portion of the Premises to any Person other than Tenant or any of its
Affiliates), and (b) "OTHER CHARGES", consisting of any utilities and other
costs and expenses of the Business or any portion of the Premises and all other
charges, obligations or deposits assessed against any portion of the Premises
during or prior to the Term. Tenant may pay the foregoing in permitted
installments (whether or not interest accrues on the unpaid balance) when due
and before any Penalty. If Tenant fails to pay as and when due any Tax or Other
Charge, or any Penalty that may be assessed notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Section 5.1, and if thereafter Landlord (in its sole and
absolute discretion) pays such Tax, Other Charge or Penalty, then, upon its
receipt of Landlord's written notice of payment, Tenant shall pay Landlord an
amount equal to any such Tax, Other Charge or Penalty for which Tenant is liable
under this Master Lease. Tenant shall, prior to the Effective Date, pay all
Taxes and Other Charges that are delinquent as of the day immediately prior to
the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
5.1, Landlord shall remain named as the landowner and Tax payor on all real
property Tax records concerning the Premises.

<PAGE>

            5.2 PROTESTS. Each party has the right, but not the obligation, in
good faith to protest or contest (a "PROTEST") in whole or in part (a) the
amount or payment of any Taxes or Other Charges and (b) the existence, amount or
validity of any Lien (as defined in Section 8.1) by appropriate proceedings
sufficient to prevent its collection or other realization and the sale,
forfeiture or loss of any portion of the Premises or Rent to satisfy it (so long
as it provides Landlord with reasonable security to assure the foregoing). If
Tenant elects to pursue a Protest, Tenant shall diligently prosecute such
Protest at its sole cost and expense and pay such Taxes, Other Charges or Lien
before the imposition of any Penalty. Landlord will cooperate fully in any
Protest that involves an amount assessed against it.

      6. INSURANCE.

            6.1 REQUIREMENTS. All insurance provided for in this Master Lease
shall (i) be maintained under valid and enforceable policies issued by insurers
licensed and approved to do business in the state(s) where the applicable
Facility or portion of the Premises is located and having general policyholders
and financial ratings of not less than "A-" and "X", respectively, in the then
current Best's Insurance Report, and a claims paying ability rating from S&P of
at least AA and the equivalent rating of at least one other rating agency,
unless in either case Landlord agrees in the exercise of its reasonable judgment
that the required insurance would not be available to Tenant on commercially
reasonable terms from insurers with such ratings, (ii) name Landlord as an
additional insured and, for the casualty policy referenced in this Section 6.1,
as the owner and loss payable beneficiary, (iii) be on an "occurrence" basis,

all of Tenant's operations at the applicable Facility or portion of the
Premises, (v) provide that the policy may not be canceled except upon not less
than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord, unless Landlord shall
agree, in its reasonable judgment, that insurance is not available to Tenant on
such terms at commercially reasonable rates, and (vi) be primary and provide
that any insurance with respect to any portion of the Premises maintained by
Landlord is excess and noncontributing with Tenant's insurance. The parties
hereby waive as to each other all rights of subrogation which any insurance
carrier, or either of them, may have by reason of any provision in any policy
issued to them, provided such waiver does not thereby invalidate such policy.
Original policies or satisfactory insurer certificates evidencing the existence
of the insurance required by this Master Lease and showing the interest of
Landlord shall be provided to it prior to the commencement of the Term or, for a
renewal policy, not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration date of the
policy being renewed. If Landlord is provided with a certificate, it may demand
that Tenant provide a complete copy of the related policy within ten (10) days.
Landlord shall review each such policy or certificate and, within a reasonable
time following its receipt thereof, notify Tenant in writing whether the
insurance evidenced by such policy or certificate complies with the requirements
of this Master Lease. During the Term, Tenant shall maintain the following
insurance and any claims thereunder shall be adjudicated by and at the expense
of it or its insurance carrier:

            FIRE AND EXTENDED COVERAGE with respect to each Facility against
loss or damage from all causes under standard "all risk" property insurance
coverage with an agreed amount endorsement (such that the insurance carrier has
accepted the amount of coverage and has agreed that there will be no
co-insurance penalty), without exclusion for fire, lightning,

windstorm, explosion, smoke damage, vehicle damage, sprinkler leakage, flood,
vandalism, earthquake, malicious mischief or any other risks normally covered
under an extended coverage endorsement, in amounts that are not less than the
actual replacement value of such Facility and all Tenant Personal Property
associated therewith (including the cost of compliance with changes in zoning
and building codes and other laws and regulations, demolition and debris removal
and increased cost of construction);

            COMMERCIAL GENERAL PUBLIC LIABILITY COVERAGE with respect to each
Facility (including products liability and broad form coverage) against claims

($10,000,000) in the aggregate;

            WORKER'S COMPENSATION COVERAGE with respect to each Facility for
injuries sustained by Tenant's employees in the course of their employment and
otherwise consistent with all applicable legal requirements;

property, bodily injury or death and with an endorsement for boiler business
interruption insurance;

            BUSINESS INTERRUPTION AND EXTRA EXPENSE COVERAGE with respect to
each Facility for loss of rental value for a period not less than one (1) year,
provided that, so long as Tenant continues to pay all Rent and other amounts due
hereunder and no other Event of Default exists, Tenant shall be entitled to
receive all proceeds of such business interruption insurance; and

            DEDUCTIBLES/SELF-INSURED RETENTIONS for the above policies shall not
be greater than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000), and Landlord shall have the
right at any time to require a lower such amount or set higher policy limits, to
the extent commercially available and reasonable and customary for similar
properties. At such times and only so long as policies of insurance with
deductibles or self-insured retentions not greater than Fifty Thousand Dollars
($50,000) are generally not available to operators of assisted living facilities
owned by institutional landlords and similar to the Facilities at commercially
reasonable rates, as jointly determined by Landlord and Tenant in their
respective reasonable judgment, the deductibles or self-insured retentions on
the policies of insurance required hereunder may be in such greater amount, as
jointly determined by Landlord and Tenant in their respective reasonable
judgment, that would result in the applicable policies being available at
commercially reasonable rates, not to exceed Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
($250,000).

            6.2 EXCEPTIONS TO INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS. Tenant has advised
Landlord that, to the extent described on Schedule 3, it is not in compliance as
of the Effective Date with the requirements set forth in Section 6.1. Tenant
nonetheless represents and warrants to Landlord that the policies of insurance
(including the deductible or self-insured retention provisions thereof) and risk
management programs that Tenant has in effect as of the Effective Date are, and
as may be in effect at any time during the Term will be, consistent with custom,
practice and prudent management standards in the business and industry in which
Tenant is engaged. As and when insurance meeting the requirements set forth in
Section 6.1 becomes generally available to operators of assisted living
facilities owned by institutional landlords and similar to the Facilities at
commercially reasonable rates, as jointly determined by Landlord and Tenant in
their respective reasonable judgment, Tenant shall purchase and maintain such
insurance. Tenant's non-compliance with the requirements of Section 6.1 shall
not give rise to an Event of Default so long as (i) no other Event of Default
then exists, (ii) such non-compliance is limited to the matters described on
Schedule 3, (iii) the representations and warranties set forth in this Section
6.2 remain true, correct and complete in all respects, and (iv) Tenant is in
compliance with the other covenants contained in this Section 6.2 and Section
6.3.

            6.3 REIMBURSEMENT OF LANDLORD'S INSURANCE COSTS. During any Lease
Year or portion thereof in which Tenant is not in compliance with the provisions
of Section 6.1 (without consideration of the effect of Section 6.2), Tenant
shall reimburse Landlord, within ten (10) days of Landlord's demand therefor,
for the costs of the premiums of the general liability and environmental
insurance policies maintained by Landlord, or contributions to self-insurance in
lieu thereof, in connection with the Premises, which amount shall not exceed in
any Lease Year the amount of TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($200,000) (as
adjusted at the end of each Lease Year for increases since the Effective Date in
the CPI). Tenant shall have no right to receive any proceeds or other benefits
from any such insurance. For purposes of this Section 6.3, Tenant shall not be
in compliance with Section 6.1 (without consideration of the effect of Section
6.2) at any such time that any insurance required hereunder is provided to
Tenant by or through the "captive" insurance company described on Schedule 3, or
any other similar captive insurance company.

            6.4 DETERMINATION OF COMMERCIAL REASONABLENESS. In the event that
Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on any matter in this Section 6
requiring a determination of commercial reasonableness, such determination shall
be made by a reputable insurance company, consultant or expert (an "Insurance
Arbitrator") with experience in the assisted living insurance industry as
identified by Landlord in the exercise of its reasonable judgment. As a
condition to a determination of commercial reasonableness with respect to any
particular matter, the Insurance Arbitrator shall be capable of providing,
procuring or identifying particular policies or coverages that would be
available to Tenant and would satisfy the requirement in issue. The
determinations made by any such experts shall be binding on Landlord and Tenant
for purposes of this Section 6, and the costs, fees and expenses of the same
shall be borne by Tenant.

      7. USE, REGULATORY COMPLIANCE AND PRESERVATION OF BUSINESS.

            7.1 PERMITTED USE; QUALIFIED CARE. Tenant shall continuously use and
occupy each Facility during the Term as a licensed facility engaged in the
respective Business

9393.9 (NHP Portfolio Lease)

                                       10
<PAGE>

described on Schedule 2 with not less than the applicable number of beds or
living units shown on Schedule 2 (with respect to each Facility, the "REQUIRED
BED COUNT"), and for ancillary services relating thereto, but for no other
purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may permit at any one time the
number of beds or living units, as applicable, at no more than thirty (30)
individual Facilities (and not in the aggregate) to be one (1) bed or unit less
than the Required Bed Count in such Facilities.

            7.2 REGULATORY COMPLIANCE . Tenant, each Facility and the other
portions of the Premises shall comply in all material respects with all
licensing and other laws and all CC&R's and other use or maintenance
requirements applicable to the Business conducted thereon and, to the extent
Tenant elects to participate in the same or as may be required by law to serve
its resident population, all Medicare, Medicaid and other third-party payor
certification requirements, including timely filing properly completed cost and
other required reports, timely paying all expenses shown thereon, and ensuring
that, to the extent Tenant has elected to participate in the same or as required
by law to serve its respective resident population, each Facility continues to
be fully certified for participation in Medicare and Medicaid throughout the
Term and when each such Facility is returned to Landlord, all without any
suspension, revocation, decertification or other material limitation other than
those under which Tenant was operating immediately prior to the end of the Term.
Further, Tenant shall not commit any act or omission that would in any way
violate any certificate of occupancy affecting the any Facility, result in
closure of the Business conducted at any Facility or result in the sale or
transfer of all or any portion of any related certificate of need, bed rights or
other similar certificate or license. During the Term, all inspection fees,
costs and charges associated with a change of such licensure or certification
("CHANGE OF LICENSURE COSTS") shall be borne solely by Tenant. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, except in the event that the Term has been terminated as a result
of an Event of Default, Tenant shall not be responsible for any Change of
Licensure Costs that would be ordinarily incurred by a new operator of any
Facility under usual custom and practice in the applicable Business (e.g.,
application fees for licensure, costs of training personnel, legal costs in
connection with the same), provided, however, that Tenant shall be required to
effect any repairs to or modifications or Alterations of any Facility as may be
necessary for a prospective new operator to obtain such licenses as may be
required to operate the same consistent with Tenant's prior operation and
otherwise in material compliance with all applicable laws. In all events, Tenant
shall cooperate in good faith, at no out-of-pocket expense to itself, with the
efforts of any prospective new operator of any Facility to obtain licensure.

            7.3 PRESERVATION OF BUSINESS. Tenant acknowledges that a fair return
to Landlord on and protection of its investment in the Premises is dependent, in
part, on Tenant's dedication to the Business and the concentration on each
Facility of similar businesses of Tenant and its Affiliates in the geographical
area of such Facility. Tenant further acknowledges that the diversion of
residents or patient care activities from any Facility to other facilities owned
or operated by Tenant or its Affiliates at any time during the Term will have a
material adverse affect on the value and utility of such Facility. Therefore,
Tenant agrees that during the Term and for a period of one (1) year thereafter,
neither Tenant nor any of its Affiliates shall, without the prior written
consent of Landlord: (i) operate, own, participate in or otherwise receive
revenues from any other business providing services similar to those of the
Business of any Facility within an eight (8) mile radius of such Facility,
provided, however, that Tenant and its Affiliates may continue to operate, own,
manage, participate in or otherwise receive revenues

9393.9 (NHP Portfolio Lease)

                                       11
<PAGE>

from any of the facilities listed on Schedule 4 (each an "EXEMPT FACILITY") so
long as, after the date hereof, no aspects of the operations or management of
any Exempt Facility are changed in any manner that results in such Exempt
Facility becoming more competitive with any Facility, provided, however that
routine maintenance and capital expenditures in the ordinary course of business
and minor variations in the number of beds or living units, as applicable, in
such other facilities shall not be deemed to violate the foregoing, (ii) except
as is necessary to provide residents or patients with an alternative level of
care, recommend or solicit the removal or transfer of any resident or patient
from any Facility to any other nursing, health care, senior housing or
retirement housing facility or divert actual or potential residents, patients or
care activities of the Business conducted at any Facility to any other
facilities owned or operated by Tenant or its Affiliates or from which they
receive any type of referral fees or other compensation for transfers, or (iii)
employ for other businesses any management or supervisory personnel working on
or in connection with any portion of the Business or any Facility.

      8. ACCEPTANCE, MAINTENANCE, UPGRADE, ALTERATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL.

            8.1 ACCEPTANCE "AS IS"; NO LIENS. Tenant acknowledges it has leased,
occupied and conducted operations at each Facility, that it is presently engaged
in operations like the Business conducted at each Facility in the state where
such Facility is located and has expertise in such industry and, in deciding to
enter into this Master Lease, has not relied on any representations or
warranties, express or implied, of any kind from Landlord. Tenant has examined
the condition of title to and thoroughly investigated the Premises, has selected
the Premises to its own specifications, has concluded that no improvements or
modifications to them are required in order to conduct the Business, and accepts
them on an "AS IS" basis and assumes all responsibility and cost for the
correction of any observed or unobserved deficiencies or violations.
Notwithstanding its right to Protest set forth in Section 5.2, Tenant shall not
cause or permit any lien, encumbrance, levy or attachment (a "LIEN"), except a
Permitted Tenant Property Lien (as defined below) and except as otherwise may be
expressly permitted under this Master Lease, to be placed or assessed against
any portion of the Premises or the operation thereof for any reason.

            8.2 TENANT'S MAINTENANCE OBLIGATIONS. Tenant shall (a) keep and
maintain the Premises in good appearance, repair and condition and maintain
proper housekeeping, (b) promptly make all repairs (interior and exterior,
structural and nonstructural, ordinary and extraordinary, foreseen and
unforeseen) necessary to keep each Facility in good and lawful order and
condition and in substantial compliance with all applicable requirements and
laws relating to the Business conducted thereon, including if Tenant has elected
to participate therein or if otherwise applicable certification for
participation in Medicare and Medicaid, and (c) keep and maintain all Landlord
and Tenant Personal Property in good condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted,
and repair and replace such property consistent with prudent industry practice.

            8.3 UPGRADE EXPENDITURES.

            (a) Without limiting Tenant's obligations to maintain the Premises
under this Lease, within thirty (30) days after the end of each Lease Year
commencing with the end of the applicable Lease Year shown on Schedule 2, Tenant
shall provide Landlord with evidence satisfactory to Landlord in the reasonable
exercise of Landlord's discretion that Tenant has in

9393.9 (NHP Portfolio Lease)

                                       12
<PAGE>

such Lease Year spent on Upgrade Expenditures for each Facility an amount at
least equal to the Required Average Upgrade Expenditures when averaged with the
Upgrade Expenditures made in the then three (3) previous Lease Years with
respect to such Facility. As used herein, the "REQUIRED AVERAGE UPGRADE
EXPENDITURES" for any Lease Year shall be calculated as follows: In the first
(1st) Lease Year an amount shall be calculated equal to the amount shown for
each Facility on Schedule 2 times the number of units in such Facility. For each
subsequent Lease Year, the calculated amount for the previous Lease Year shall
be increased for increases in the CPI. "UPGRADE EXPENDITURES" means expenditures
for (i) upgrades or improvements to each Facility that have the effect of
maintaining or improving its competitive position in its respective marketplace,
including new or replacement wallpaper, tiles, window coverings, lighting
fixtures, painting, upgraded landscaping, carpeting, architectural adornments,
common area amenities and the like, but excluding capital improvements or
repairs (including repairs or replacements of the roof, structural elements of
the walls, parking area or the electrical, plumbing, HVAC or other mechanical or
structural systems), and (ii) other improvements to each Facility as reasonably
approved by Landlord, which shall include those matters, if any, that Landlord
has approved in writing as of the Effective Date based on descriptions and
budgets that Tenant has provided prior thereto.

            (b) During the first three (3) years following the Effective Date,
Landlord shall make available to Tenant funds in the total amount of FOUR
MILLION DOLLARS ($4,000,000), which shall be used by Tenant for the purposes of
making capital improvements to the Premises (the "CAPEX FUNDS"). From time to
time, but not more often than once in any calendar month and provided that no
Event of Default is then continuing, Landlord shall disburse the CapEx Funds in
order to reimburse Tenant for capital expenditures incurred by Tenant with
respect to the Premises, subject to the following conditions: (i) the
expenditures been approved by Landlord in its reasonable discretion (Tenant has
delivered the proposed schedule of capital improvements set forth on Schedule 8
attached hereto for Landlord's review and approval); (ii) Tenant's request for
disbursement shall be accompanied with such supporting documentation evidencing
the expenditure as Landlord may reasonably require; (iii) such amount shall be
requested and such capital improvements shall be completed within the first
three (3) years following the Effective Date; (iv) the annual Minimum Rent shall
be increased by the product of (a) the amount of such CapEx Funds disbursed, and
(b) a percentage equal to the greater of (I) eleven and one-half percent (11.5%)
per annum, or (II) Landlord's then market lease rate, not to exceed thirteen
percent (13%) per annum (as such funds are advanced from time to time); which
increased Minimum Rent shall be due and payable by Tenant on the first business
day of each calendar month; (v) Landlord's Investment shall be increased by the
amount of such CapEx Funds disbursed by Landlord; and (vi) if Landlord requests,
Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment or amendments to this Lease
evidencing the disbursement of such CapEx Funds and the applicable increases to
Minimum Rent and Landlord's Investment.

            8.4 ALTERATIONS BY TENANT. Tenant may alter, improve, exchange,
replace, modify or expand (collectively, including any work performed in
connection with any Upgrade Expenditure, "ALTERATIONS") the Facilities,
equipment or appliances in the Premises from time to time as it may determine is
desirable for the continuing and proper use and maintenance of the Premises;
provided, that any Alterations (excluding Alterations made with CapEx Funds) in
excess of FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($50,000) with respect to any individual
Facility in any rolling twelve (12) month period shall require Landlord's prior
written consent; provided further,

9393.9 (NHP Portfolio Lease)

                                       13
<PAGE>

that any Alterations to the Premises must satisfy the requirements set forth in
Sections 4(4).02 and .03 of Revenue Procedure 75-21, 1975-1 C.B. 715, as
modified by Revenue Procedure 79-48, 1979-2 C.B. 529. All Alterations shall
immediately become a part of the Premises and the property of Landlord subject
to this Master Lease, and except to the extent that Landlord in its sole and
absolute discretion agrees to fund them following Tenant's written request
therefor, the cost of all Alterations or other purchases, whether undertaken as
an on-going licensing, Medicare, Medicaid or other regulatory requirement, or
otherwise shall be borne solely by Tenant. Any amounts so funded by Landlord
shall (i) concurrently with such funding be added to Landlord's Investment, and
(ii) shall not, unless expressly agreed by Landlord to the contrary, in its sole
and absolute discretion, constitute Upgrade Expenditures. All Alterations shall
be done in a good and workmanlike manner in compliance with all applicable laws
and the insurance required under this Master Lease. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any equipment acquired by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense
that expands the services provided to the residents of any Facility, rather than
replaces existing equipment at such Facility, or replaces existing Tenant
Personal Property, or is otherwise permitted under Section 9.2, and that does
not constitute a fixture (under the real property law of the State in which such
Facility is located), shall constitute Tenant Personal Property subject to the
security interest granted to Landlord in Section 9.2. So long as there is no
continuing Event of Default, Tenant may remove at any time and dispose of the
equipment described in the preceding sentence free and clear of an security
interest of Landlord. Tenant further agrees to (x) periodically, but not less
than once per fiscal quarter, provide Landlord with information regarding all
Alterations and general maintenance activities that Tenant has engaged in or
intends to engage in during the succeeding fiscal quarter with respect to the
Premises, and (y) make appropriate officers available periodically for
consultation with representatives of Landlord with respect to matters relating
to ongoing Alterations to, and the general maintenance of, the Premises.

            8.5 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Tenant's use of the Premises (i) shall
comply with all Hazardous Materials Laws, (ii) shall not result in any Hazardous
Materials Claims and (iii) shall not involve any Environmental Activities. If
(x) any Environmental Activities occur, (y) if Landlord or Tenant receive any
notice of any Hazardous Materials Claims, or (z) if Tenant's use of any portion
of the Premises results in any violation of any Hazardous Materials Law, or
Landlord has a reasonable belief that any of the foregoing has occurred, then
Tenant shall promptly obtain all permits and approvals necessary to remedy any
such actual or suspected problem through the removal of Hazardous Materials or
otherwise, and upon Landlord's approval of the remediation plan, remedy any such
problem to the satisfaction of Landlord and all applicable governmental
authorities, in accordance with all Hazardous Materials Laws and good business
practices. Tenant shall immediately advise Landlord in writing of (a) any
Environmental Activities, (b) any violation of any Hazardous Materials Laws; (c)
any Hazardous Materials Claims against Tenant or any portion of the Premises;
(d) any remedial action taken by Tenant in response to any Hazardous Materials
Claims or any Hazardous Materials on, under or about any portion of the Premises
in violation of any Hazardous Materials Laws; (e) Tenant's discovery of any
occurrence or condition on or in the vicinity of any portion of the Premises
that materially increase the risk that any portion of the Premises is or will be
exposed to Hazardous Materials; and (f) all communications to or from Tenant,
any governmental authority or any other Person relating to Hazardous Materials
Laws or Hazardous Materials Claims with respect to any portion of the Premises,
including copies thereof. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Master
Lease, if any Hazardous Materials are discovered on, under or about any portion
of

9393.9 (NHP Portfolio Lease)

                                       14
<PAGE>

the Premises, or any violation of any Hazardous Materials Law or any Hazardous
Materials Claim occurs, the Term shall be automatically extended and this Master
Lease shall remain in full force and effect until the earlier to occur of the
completion of all remedial action or monitoring, as approved by Landlord, in
accordance with all Hazardous Materials Laws, or the date specified in a written
notice from Landlord to Tenant terminating this Master Lease (which date may be
subsequent to the date upon which the Term was to have expired). Landlord shall
have the right, at Tenant's sole cost and expense (including, without
limitation, Landlord's reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) and with counsel
chosen by Landlord, to join, participate in and direct, as a party if it so
elects, any legal proceedings or actions initiated in connection with any
Hazardous Materials Claims.

      9. TENANT PROPERTY AND SECURITY INTEREST.

            9.1 TENANT PROPERTY. Tenant shall obtain, install, maintain and
update all items of furniture, fixtures, supplies and equipment not included as
Landlord Personal Property as shall be necessary or reasonably appropriate to
operate each Facility in compliance with this Master Lease ("TENANT PERSONAL
PROPERTY" and with "TENANT INTANGIBLE PROPERTY", "TENANT PROPERTY"). "TENANT
INTANGIBLE PROPERTY" means all the following at any time owned by Tenant in
connection with its use of any portion of the Premises: Medicare, Medicaid and
other accounts and proceeds thereof; rents, profits, income or revenue derived
from such operation or use; all documents, chattel paper, instruments, contract
rights (including contracts with residents, employees and third-party payors),
deposit accounts, general intangibles and choses in action; refunds of any Taxes
or Other Charges; licenses and permits necessary or desirable for Tenant's use
of any portion of the Premises, including any applicable certificate of need or
other similar certificate, and the exclusive right to transfer, move or apply
for the foregoing and manage the Business conducted at any portion of the
Premises (including the right to apply for permission to reduce the licensed bed
complement, take any of the licensed beds out of service or move the beds to a
different location); and the right use, at no cost, expense or royalty, for up
to three (3) years following the termination of this Master Lease for any reason
other than the expiration of the then Term or the default by Landlord, the names
"Clare Bridge," "Wynwood" and "Sterling House" and all reasonable variations and
replacements or substitutions thereof.

            9.2 LANDLORD'S SECURITY INTEREST AND FINANCING STATEMENTS. The
parties intend that if Tenant defaults under this Master Lease, Landlord will
control the Tenant Personal Property and the Tenant Intangible Property (to the
extent assignable in accordance with applicable law and with the applicable
terms and provisions thereof) so that Landlord or its designee can operate or
re-let each Facility and associated personal property intact for use as a
licensed facility engaged in the applicable Business. Therefore, to implement
the intention of the parties, and for the purpose of securing the payment and
performance of Tenant's obligations under this Master Lease, Tenant, as debtor,
hereby grants to Landlord, as secured party, a security interest in and an
express contractual Lien upon, all of Tenant's right, title and interest in and
to the Tenant Personal Property and the Tenant Intangible Property (to the
extent assignable in accordance with applicable law and with the applicable
terms and provisions thereof) and any and all products and proceeds thereof, in
which Tenant now owns or leases or hereafter acquires an interest or right. This
Master Lease constitutes a security agreement covering all such Tenant Personal
Property and Tenant Intangible Property (to the extent assignable in accordance
with applicable law), and Tenant shall keep such Tenant Property free and clear
of all Liens other than

9393.9 (NHP Portfolio Lease)

                                       15
<PAGE>

Liens in favor of Landlord and Permitted Tenant Property Liens (as defined
below). The security interest granted to Landlord hereunder is intended by the
parties to be subordinate to any security interest granted in Tenant Personal
Property in connection with the financing or leasing of all or any portion
thereof, so long as the lessor or financier agrees to give Landlord written
notice of any default by Tenant under the terms of such arrangement and a
reasonable time following such notice to cure any such default and to consent to
Landlord's written assumption of such arrangement upon curing such default
("PERMITTED TENANT PROPERTY LIENS"). This security interest and agreement shall
survive the termination of this Master Lease resulting from an Event of Default.
Tenant shall pay all filing and reasonable record search fees and other costs
for such additional security agreements, financing statements, fixture filings
and other documents as Landlord may reasonably require to perfect or continue
the perfection of its security interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant
shall be entitled to purchase, finance and/or lease vehicles or supplies, which
shall not be deemed or construed to be Landlord Personal Property and, with
respect to which, Tenant shall have no obligation to cause any applicable lessor
or financier to provide Landlord with the notice, cure and assumption rights
described hereinabove.

            9.3 LANDLORD PERSONAL PROPERTY. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge
that, as of the Effective Date, there is no Landlord Personal Property relating
to the Meditrust Carolina Facilities. In the event that Landlord, in its sole
and absolute discretion, funds the acquisition of any personal property by
Tenant relating to the Meditrust Carolina Facilities after the Effective Date,
all such personal property shall be considered Landlord Personal Property.

      10. FINANCIAL, MANAGEMENT AND REGULATORY REPORTS. Tenant shall provide
Landlord with the reports listed in Exhibit F at the time described therein, and
such other information about it or the operations of the Premises and Business
as Landlord may reasonably request from time to time. All financial information
provided shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles consistently applied. If Tenant becomes subject to any reporting
requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission during the Term, it shall
concurrently deliver to Landlord such reports as are delivered pursuant to
applicable securities laws.

      11. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

            11.1 BY LANDLORD . Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that:

      12. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The occurrence of any of the following events will
constitute an "EVENT OF DEFAULT" on the part of Tenant, and there shall be no
cure period therefor except as otherwise expressly provided:

            (a) Tenant's failure to pay within five (5) calendar days of the
date when due any Minimum Rent, Additional Rent, Taxes, Other Charges or other
payments required under this Master Lease;

            (b) [Intentionally-Omitted];

            (c) [Intentionally-Omitted];

            (d) A material default by Tenant or any Affiliate of Tenant (i) the
LC Agreement, (ii) any other lease, agreement or obligation between it and
Landlord or any of its Affiliates which is not cured within any applicable cure
period specified therein, or (iii) any other lease agreement or obligation
between it and JER/NHP Senior Living Acquisition, LLC or any of its Affiliates,
provided that NHP is then a member of JER/NHP Senior Housing, LLC, or (iv) under
any other obligation which affects the Premises, which material default has not
been waived or cured in accordance with the applicable agreement;

            (e) (i) Any material misstatement or omission of fact in any written
report, notice or communication from Tenant to Landlord with respect to Tenant,
the Premises or the Business, or (ii) any representation or warranty made by
Tenant in this Master Lease proves to have been false, incorrect, misleading or
incomplete when made;

            (f) The failure to perform or comply with (i) the provisions of
Section 6, or (ii) the provisions of Section 16;

            (g) (i) Tenant shall generally not pay its debts as they become due,
or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally, or shall
make an assignment of all or substantially all of its property for the benefit
of creditors; (ii) a receiver, trustee or liquidator shall be appointed for
either of them or any of their property, if within three (3) business days of
such appointment Tenant does not inform Landlord in writing that they intend to
cause such appointment to be discharged or such discharge is not diligently
prosecuted to completion within sixty (60) days after the date of such
appointment; (iii) the filing by either of them of a voluntary petition under
any federal bankruptcy or state law to be adjudicated as bankrupt or for any
arrangement or other debtor's relief; or (iv) the involuntary filing of such a
petition against either of them by any other party, unless Tenant within three
(3) business days of such filing informs Landlord in writing of their intent to
cause such petition to be dismissed, such dismissal is diligently prosecuted and
such petition is dismissed within ninety (90) days after filing; or

            (h) The failure to perform or comply with any other provision of
this Master Lease not requiring the payment of money and not set forth in
Sections 12(b)-(g) above unless (i) within three (3) business days of Tenant's
receipt of a notice of default from Landlord, Tenant gives Landlord notice of
its intent to cure such default; and (ii) Tenant cures it either (x) within
thirty (30) days after such notice from Landlord or (y) if such default cannot
with due diligence be so cured because of the nature of the default or delays
beyond the control of Tenant and cure after such period will not have a
materially adverse effect upon any portion of the Premises or

9393.9 (NHP Portfolio Lease)

                                       19
<PAGE>

any portion of the Business, then such default shall not constitute an Event of
Default if Tenant uses its best efforts to cure such default by promptly
commencing and diligently pursuing such cure to the completion thereof and cures
it within one hundred twenty (120) days after such notice from Landlord.

      13. REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord may
exercise all rights and remedies under this Master Lease and the laws of the
state(s) where the Premises are located that are available to a lessor of real
and personal property in the event of a default by its lessee, and as to the
Tenant Property, all remedies granted under the laws of such state(s) to a
secured party under its Uniform Commercial Code. Landlord shall have no duty to
mitigate damages unless required by applicable law and shall not be responsible
or liable for any failure to relet any of the Premises or to collect any rent
due upon any such reletting. Tenant shall pay Landlord, immediately upon demand,
all expenses incurred by it in obtaining possession and reletting any of the
Premises, including fees, commissions and costs of attorneys, architects, agents
and brokers.

            13.1 GENERAL. Without limiting the foregoing, Landlord shall have
the right (but not the obligation) to do any of the following upon an Event of
Default: (a) sue for the specific performance of any covenant of Tenant as to
which it is in breach; (b) enter upon any portion of the Premises, terminate
this Master Lease, dispossess Tenant from the Premises and/or collect money
damages by reason of Tenant's breach, including the acceleration of all Rent
which would have accrued after such termination and all obligations and
liabilities of Tenant under this Master Lease which survive the termination of
the Term; (c) elect to leave this Master Lease in place and sue for Rent and
other money damages as the same come due; (d) (before or after repossession of
the Premises pursuant to clause (b) above and whether or not this Master Lease
has been terminated) relet any portion of the Premises to such tenant(s), for
such term(s) (which may be greater or less than the remaining balance of the
Term), rent, conditions (which may include concessions or free rent) and uses as
it may determine in its sole discretion and collect and receive any rents
payable by reason of such reletting; and (e) sell any Tenant Property in a
non-judicial foreclosure sale.

            13.2 RECEIVERSHIP. Tenant acknowledges that a Catastrophic Event of
Default will materially and irreparably impair the value of Landlord's
investment in the Premises. Therefore, in addition to its other rights and
remedies, upon a Catastrophic Event of Default Landlord shall have the right to
petition any appropriate court for the appointment of a receiver to take
possession of the Premises or applicable Facility, to manage the operation of
the Premises or applicable Facility, to collect and disburse all rents, issues,
profits and income generated thereby and to the extent applicable and possible,
to preserve or replace any affected license or provider certification for the
Premises or applicable Facility or to otherwise substitute the licensee or
provider thereof (the "RECEIVERSHIP"). If Landlord commences the Receivership,
the receiver shall be paid a reasonable fee for its services and all such fees
and other expenses of the Receivership shall be paid in addition to, and not in
limitation of, the Rent otherwise due to Landlord hereunder. Tenant irrevocably
consents to the Receivership upon a Catastrophic Event of Default and thus
stipulates to and agrees not to contest the appointment of a receiver under such
circumstances and for such purposes. Landlord's right and remedy to obtain a
Receivership pursuant to this Section 13.2 shall not prevent, limit or otherwise
impair Landlord from seeking or obtaining the appointment of a receiver upon any
Event of Default other than a Catastrophic

9393.9 (NHP Portfolio Lease)

                                       20
<PAGE>

Event of Default with respect to all or any portion of the Premises in
accordance with applicable law.

            13.3 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE; NO WAIVER. No right or remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved to Landlord is intended to be exclusive of any other
right or remedy, and each and every right and remedy shall be cumulative and in
addition to any other right or remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity. Any notice or cure period provided herein shall
run concurrently with any provided by applicable law. No failure of Landlord to
insist at any time upon the strict performance of any provision of this Master
Lease or to exercise any option, right, power or remedy contained herein shall
be construed as a waiver, modification or relinquishment thereof as to any
similar or different breach (future or otherwise) by Tenant. Landlord's receipt
of any rent or other sum due hereunder (including any late charge) with
knowledge of any breach shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach, and no
waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Master Lease shall be effective
unless expressed in a writing signed by it.

            13.4 PERFORMANCE OF TENANT'S OBLIGATIONS. If Tenant at any time
shall fail to make any payment or perform any act on its part required to be
made or performed under this Master Lease, after expiration of applicable notice
or cure periods as expressly provided herein, if any, then Landlord may, without
waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligations or default hereunder, make such
payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of Tenant, and
enter upon any portion of the Premises for the purpose of taking all such action
as may be reasonably necessary. No such entry shall be deemed an eviction of
Tenant. All sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary and incidental costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred in
connection with the performance of any such act by it, together with interest at
the Agreed Rate from the date of the making of such payment or the incurring of
such costs and expenses, shall at Landlord's option, which may be exercised in
Landlord's sole and absolute discretion, either be payable by Tenant to Landlord
on demand or added to Landlord's Investment.

      14. PROVISIONS ON TERMINATION.

            14.1 SURRENDER OF POSSESSION. On the expiration of the Term or
earlier termination or cancellation of this Master Lease (the "TERMINATION
DATE"), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord or its designee possession of (a) each
Facility and associated Landlord Personal Property, if any, in a neat and clean
condition and in as good a condition as existed at the date of their possession
and occupancy pursuant to this Master Lease, ordinary wear and tear excepted,
(b) a fully operational Business at each Facility including, at Tenant's sole
cost except to the extent provided to the contrary in Section 7.2, any
Alterations necessitated by, or imposed in connection with, a change of
ownership inspection survey for the transfer of operation of any portion of the
Premises to Landlord or its designee, and (c) provided that Landlord or its
designee executes an agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to
such party, confirming its obligation to maintain such records for a period
equal to the longer of (i) the applicable statute of limitations, or (ii) the
period required by applicable law, all patient charts and resident records along
with appropriate resident consents if necessary and copies of all its books and
records relating to the Business and the Premises. Accordingly, Tenant shall not
at any time during or after the Term seek to transfer, surrender, allow to
lapse, or grant any security

9393.9 (NHP Portfolio Lease)

                                       21
<PAGE>

interest or any other interest in and to the licenses, permits or certifications
relating to any portion of the Business or any portion of the Premises, nor
shall Tenant commit or omit any act that would jeopardize any portion of the
Business or any licensure or certification of any portion of the Premises.
Tenant shall cooperate fully with Landlord or its designee in transferring or
obtaining all necessary licenses and certifications for Landlord or its
designee, and Tenant shall comply with all requests for an orderly transfer of
the Business, Facility licenses, and Medicare and Medicaid certifications and
possession at the time of its surrender of the Premises to Landlord or its
designee. Subject to all applicable laws and to the applicable limitations set
forth in Section 14.3, Tenant hereby assigns, effective upon the Termination
Date, all rights to operate the facility to Landlord or its designee including
all required licenses and permits and all rights to apply for or otherwise
obtain them, and all other nonproprietary Tenant Intangible Property relating to
any portion of the Premises.

            14.2 REMOVAL OF TENANT PERSONAL PROPERTY. Provided that no Event of
Default then exists, in connection with the surrender of the Premises, Tenant
may upon at least five (5) business days prior notice to Landlord remove from
the Premises in a workmanlike manner all Tenant Personal Property, leaving the
Premises in good and presentable condition and appearance, including repair of
any damage caused by such removal; provided that Landlord shall have the right
and option, subject to the approval of any lienholder permitted under Section
9.2, to purchase the Tenant Personal Property (excluding vehicles) for its then
net book value during such five (5) business day notice period, in which case
Tenant shall so convey the Tenant Personal Property to Landlord by executing a
bill of sale in a form reasonably required by Landlord. If there is any Event of
Default then existing, Tenant will not remove any Tenant Personal Property from
the Premises and instead will, on demand from Landlord, convey it to Landlord
for no additional consideration by executing a bill of sale in a form reasonably
required by Landlord. Title to any Tenant Personal Property which is not removed
by Tenant as permitted above upon the expiration of the Term shall, at
Landlord's election, vest in Landlord; provided, however, that Landlord may
remove and store or dispose at Tenant's expense any or all of such Tenant
Personal Property which is not so removed by Tenant without obligation or
accounting to Tenant.

            14.3 MANAGEMENT OF PREMISES. Commencing on the Termination Date,
Landlord or its designee, upon written notice to Tenant, may elect to assume the
responsibilities and obligations for the management and operation of the
Business and Tenant agrees to cooperate fully to accomplish the transfer of such
management and operation without interrupting the operation of the Business.
Tenant agrees that Landlord or its designee may operate the Business under
Tenant's licenses and certifications to the extent allowed under applicable law
pending the issuance of new licenses and certifications to Landlord or its
designee. Tenant shall not commit any act or be remiss in the undertaking of any
act that would jeopardize any licensure or certification of any portion of the
Premises, and Tenant shall comply with all requests for an orderly transfer of
any and all facility and other licenses, Medicare and Medicaid certifications to
the extent that Tenant is participating therein and possession of the Premises
at the time of any such surrender.

            14.4 HOLDING OVER. If Tenant shall for any reason remain in
possession of any portion of the Premises after the Termination Date, such
possession shall be a month-to-month tenancy during which time Tenant shall pay
as rental on the first (1st) business day of each month

9393.9 (NHP Portfolio Lease)

                                       22
<PAGE>

ONE AND ONE-HALF (1 1/2) TIMES the total of the monthly Minimum Rent payable
with respect to the last Lease Year plus all additional charges accruing during
the month and all other sums, if any, payable by Tenant pursuant to this Master
Lease. Nothing contained herein shall constitute the consent, express or
implied, of Landlord to the holding over of Tenant after the Termination Date,
nor shall anything contained herein be deemed to limit Landlord's remedies.

            14.5 SURVIVAL. All representations, warranties, covenants and other
obligations of Tenant under this Master Lease shall survive the Termination
Date.

      15. CERTAIN LANDLORD RIGHTS.

            15.1 ENTRY AND EXAMINATION OF RECORDS. Landlord and its
representatives may enter any portion of the Premises at any reasonable time
after reasonable notice to Tenant to inspect the Premises for compliance, to
exhibit the Premises for sale, lease or mortgaging, or for any other reason;
provided that no such notice shall be required in the event of an emergency,
upon an Event of Default or to post notices of non-responsibility under any
mechanic's or materialman's lien law. No such entry shall unreasonably interfere
with residents, patients, patient care or the Business. During normal business
hours, Tenant will permit Landlord and its representatives, inspectors and
consultants to examine all contracts, books and financial and other records
(wherever kept) relating to Tenant's operations at any portion of the Premises.

            15.2 GRANT LIENS; CHANGE IN ZONING. Without the consent of Tenant,
Landlord may from time to time, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise
cause to exist any Lien, title retention agreement, or other encumbrance upon
the Premises, or any portion thereof or interest therein (including this Master
Lease), whether to secure any borrowing or other means of financing or
refinancing or otherwise. Without the consent of Tenant, Landlord may from time
to time directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause to exist any
restrictive covenant or easement upon the Premises, or accede to a change in the
zoning of any portion of the Premises, so long as such covenant, easement or
change would not have a material adverse effect on the Business or other
activities of Tenant conducted thereon pursuant to the terms of this Master
Lease.

            15.3 SUBORDINATION, ATTORNMENT AND NONDISTURBANCE. Upon the request
of Landlord, Tenant shall subordinate this Master Lease to the Lien of any
encumbrance consented to by Landlord pursuant to Section 15.2. Any such
encumbrance, or an ancillary agreement in connection therewith, shall provide,
subject to customary limitations and exceptions (a) that so long as no Event of
Default shall exist, (i) it is subject to the rights of Tenant under this Master
Lease, and (ii) that Tenant's occupancy hereunder, including Tenant's right of
quiet enjoyment provided herein, shall not be disturbed if any Person (a
"FORECLOSURE PURCHASER") takes possession of the applicable portion of the
Premises through foreclosure proceeding or otherwise, and (b) that Tenant shall
attorn to any Foreclosure Purchaser.

            15.4 ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Tenant and Landlord shall, at any time
upon not less than five (5) days prior written request by the other party, have
an authorized representative execute, acknowledge and deliver to the requesting
party or its designee a written statement certifying (a) that this Master Lease,
together with any specified modifications, is in full force and effect, (b) the
dates to which Rent and additional charges have been paid, (c) that no default

9393.9 (NHP Portfolio Lease)

                                       23
<PAGE>

by either party exists or specifying any such default and (d) as to such other
matters as the requesting may reasonably request.

            15.5 CONVEYANCE RELEASE. Landlord or any successor owner may sell or
transfer all or any portion of the Premises or assign in whole or in part this
Master Lease in its sole and absolute discretion, which shall in each case
include an assignment and delivery to the purchaser or assignee of all funds
then held in escrow pursuant to this Master Lease (or the allocable portion
thereof), and upon any such sale or transfer, they shall thereupon be released
from all future liabilities and obligations under this Master Lease arising or
accruing from and after the date of such conveyance or other transfer, which
instead shall thereupon be binding upon the new owner.

      16. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. Without the prior written consent of
Landlord, which may be withheld or conditioned at its sole discretion, this
Master Lease shall not, nor shall any interest of Tenant herein, be assigned or
encumbered by operation of law, nor shall Tenant voluntarily or involuntarily
assign, mortgage, encumber or hypothecate any interest in this Master Lease or
sublet any portion of the Premises except (i) in the ordinary course of Tenant's
business to residents or occupants of such Facility or their immediate family
members using Tenant's standard form occupancy lease for the State in which the
applicable Facility is located (in the form approved by the regulatory agency
having jurisdiction thereover), and (ii) for incidental subleases and occupancy
agreements to providers of incidental services to residents (such as physical
therapists or beauty shops) which (A) do not exceed in the aggregate for any
single Facility more than one hundred (100) square feet within such Facility,
and (B) with respect to any individual sublease or occupancy agreement, does not
exceed one (1) year in duration (including any available renewal or extension
terms). Any of the foregoing acts without such consent shall be void and shall,
at Landlord's sole option, constitute an Event of Default giving rise to
Landlord's right, among other things, to terminate this Master Lease. An
assignment of this Master Lease by Tenant shall be deemed to include: (a)
entering into a management or similar agreement relating to the operation or
control of any portion of the Premises with a Person that is not an Affiliate of
Tenant; (b) any change (voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or
otherwise, including the transfer, assignment, sale, hypothecation or other
disposition of any equity interest in Tenant) in the Person that ultimately
exert effective Control over the management of the affairs of Tenant as of the
date hereof; provided that an initial public offering of Tenant shall not be
deemed to be an assignment of the Master Lease so long as thereafter less than
TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT (25%) of the voting stock of Tenant is held by any Person or
related group that did not have such ownership prior thereto; or (c) the sale or
other transfer of all or any portion of any certificate of need, bed rights or
other similar certificate or license relating to any portion of the Business or
any portion of the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may, without
Landlord's prior written consent, assign this Master Lease or sublet the
Premises or any portion thereof to an Affiliate of Tenant if all of the
following are first satisfied: (w) such Affiliate fully assumes Tenant's
obligations hereunder; (x) Tenant remains fully liable hereunder; (y) the use of
the applicable portion of the Premises remains unchanged; and (z) Landlord in
its reasonable discretion shall have approved the form and content of all
documents for such assignment or sublease and received an executed counterpart
thereof. In no event shall Tenant sublet any portion of the Premises on any
basis such that the rental to be paid by the sublessee would be based, in whole
or in part, on either the income or profits derived by the business activities
of the sublessee, or any other formula, such

9393.9 (NHP Portfolio Lease)

                                       24
<PAGE>

that any portion of the sublease rental received by Landlord would fail to
qualify as "rents from real property" within the meaning of Section 856(d) of
the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto.

      17. DAMAGE BY FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY. Tenant shall promptly notify
Landlord of any damage or destruction of any portion of the Premises and
diligently repair or reconstruct such portion of the Premises to a like or
better condition than existed prior to such damage or destruction. Any net
insurance proceeds payable with respect to the casualty shall be used for the
repair or reconstruction of the applicable portion of the Premises pursuant to
reasonable disbursement controls in favor of Landlord. If such proceeds are
insufficient, Tenant shall provide the required additional funds; if they are
more than sufficient, the surplus shall belong and be paid to Tenant. Tenant
shall not have any right under this Master Lease, and hereby waives all rights
under applicable law, to abate, reduce or offset rent by reason of any damage or
destruction of any portion of the Premises by reason of an insured or uninsured
casualty.

      18. CONDEMNATION. Except as provided to the contrary in this Section 18,
this Master Lease shall not terminate and shall remain in full force and effect
in the event of a taking or condemnation of the Premises, or any portion
thereof, and Tenant hereby waives all rights under applicable law to abate,
reduce or offset rent by reason of such taking. If during the Term all or
substantially all (a "COMPLETE TAKING") or a smaller portion (a "PARTIAL
TAKING") of any Facility is permanently taken or condemned by any competent
public or quasi-public authority, then (a) in the case of a permanent Complete
Taking, Tenant may at its election made within thirty (30) days of the effective
date of such Taking, terminate this Master Lease with respect to such Facility
and the current Rent shall be prorated as of the effective date of such
termination, or (b) in the case of a permanent Partial Taking, the Rent shall be
abated to the same extent as the resulting diminution in Fair Market Value of
the portion of the Premises taken. The award payable upon a Complete Taking
shall be allocated (i) as provided by the taking authority, (ii) in the absence
thereof, as agreed by the parties, or (iii) failing such agreement within
thirty(30) days after the effective date of such Taking, pursuant to the
appraisal procedure described in Exhibit C. The resulting diminution in Fair
Market Value on the effective date of a Partial Taking shall be as established
pursuant to Exhibit C. Landlord alone shall be entitled to prosecute, litigate,
compromise and settle any condemnation claim, any Complete Taking or any Partial
Taking, and to receive and retain any award for a Partial Taking.

      19. INDEMNIFICATION. Tenant agrees to protect, indemnify, defend and save
harmless Landlord, its directors, officers, shareholders, agents and employees
from and against any and all foreseeable or unforeseeable liability, expense,
loss, cost, deficiency, fine, penalty or damage (including consequential or
punitive damages) of any kind or nature, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
from any suits, claims or demands, on account of any matter or thing, action or
failure to act arising out of or in connection with this Master Lease, the
Premises or the operations of Tenant on any portion of the Premises, including
(a) the breach by Tenant of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or
other obligations hereunder, (b) any Protest, (c) all known and unknown
Environmental Activities on any portion of the Premises, Hazardous Materials
Claims or violations by Tenant of a Hazardous Materials Law with respect to any
portion of the Premises, and (d) upon or following the Termination Date, the
correction of all deficiencies of a physical nature identified by, and any
liability assessed or asserted by, any governmental agency or Medicare or
Medicaid providers (but only to the extent Tenant was, or

9393.9 (NHP Portfolio Lease)

                                       25
<PAGE>

was required pursuant to applicable law to be, participating in the same as of
the termination date) as a result of or arising out of or in connection with
this Master Lease or the related change of ownership inspection and audit
(including any overpayment to any Medicare, Medicaid or other third-party
payor), except to the extent that Tenant is not responsible therefor pursuant to
Section 7.2. Upon receiving knowledge of any suit, claim or demand asserted by a
third party that Landlord believes is covered by this indemnity, it shall give
Tenant notice of the matter. If Landlord does not elect to defend the matter
with its own counsel at Tenant's expense, Tenant shall then defend Landlord at
Tenant's expense (including Landlord's reasonable attorneys' fees and costs)
with legal counsel satisfactory to Landlord

      20. ATTORNEYS FEES; DISPUTES. If any party brings any action to interpret
or enforce this Master Lease, or for damages for any alleged breach, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees and costs as
awarded by the court in addition to all other recovery, damages and costs. EACH
PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR
COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER PARTY AGAINST THE OTHER IN CONNECTION WITH ANY
MATTER WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS MASTER LEASE,
INCLUDING THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES, TENANT'S USE AND OCCUPANCY OF ANY
PORTION OF THE PREMISES, OR ANY CLAIM OF INJURY OR DAMAGE RELATING TO THE
FOREGOING OR THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY REMEDY. All disputes arising under or
relating to this Master Lease shall be brought and litigated in the state and/or
federal courts in Orange County, California and all related appellate courts,
and Landlord and Tenant hereby consent to the jurisdiction of such courts.

      21. NOTICES. All notices and demands, certificates, requests, consents,
approvals and other similar instruments under this Master Lease shall be in
writing and sent by personal delivery, U. S. certified or registered mail
(return receipt requested, postage prepaid) or FedEx or similar generally
recognized overnight carrier regularly providing proof of delivery, addressed as

A party may designate a different address by notice as provided above. Any
notice or other instrument so delivered (whether accepted or refused) shall be
deemed to have been given and received on the date of delivery established by
U.S. Post Office return receipt or the carrier's proof of delivery or, if not so
delivered, on the day received (provided that such notice or instrument shall be
deemed received on the next succeeding business day if received after 5:00 p.m.
(local time)). Delivery to any officer, general partner or principal of a party
shall be deemed delivery to such party. Notice to any one co-Tenant shall be
deemed notice to all co-Tenants.

      22. MISCELLANEOUS. Since each party has been represented by counsel and
this Master Lease has been freely and fairly negotiated, all provisions shall be
interpreted according to their fair meaning and shall not be strictly construed
against any party. While nothing contained in this Master Lease should be deemed
or construed to constitute an extension of credit by Landlord to Tenant, if a
portion of any payment made to Landlord is deemed to violate any applicable laws
regarding usury, such portion shall be held by Landlord to pay the future
obligations of Tenant as such obligations arise and if Tenant discharges and
performs all obligations hereunder, such funds will be reimbursed (without
interest) to Tenant on the Termination Date. If any part of this Master Lease
shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder shall
nevertheless continue in full force and effect. Time is of the essence, and
whenever action must be taken (including the giving of notice or the delivery of
documents) hereunder during a certain period of time or by a particular date
that ends or occurs on a Saturday, Sunday or federal holiday, then such period
or date shall be extended until the immediately following business day. Whenever
the words "including", "include" or "includes" are used in this Master Lease,
they shall be interpreted in a non-exclusive manner as though the words "without
limitation" immediately followed. Whenever the words day or days are used in
this Master Lease, they shall mean "calendar day" or "calendar days" unless
expressly provided to the contrary. The titles and headings in this Master Lease
are for convenience of reference only and shall not in any way affect the
meaning or construction of any provision. Unless otherwise expressly provided,
references to any "Section" mean a section of this Master Lease (including all
subsections), to any "Exhibit" or "Schedule" mean an exhibit or schedule
attached hereto, and references to "Medicare" or "Medicaid" include any
successor program. If more than one Person is Tenant hereunder, their liability
and obligations hereunder shall be joint and several. Promptly upon the request
of either party and at its expense, the parties shall prepare, enter into and
record a suitable short form memorandum of this Master Lease. This Master Lease
(a) together with the Agreement to Enter Into Master Lease, LC Agreement,
Memorandum of Understanding and all

<PAGE>

other documents or instruments executed as of the Effective Date in connection
therewith, contains the entire agreement of the parties as to the subject matter
hereof and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous verbal or written agreements
or understandings, (b) may be executed in several counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same
document, (c) may only be amended by a writing executed by the parties, (d)
shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted
assigns of the parties, (e) shall be governed by and construed and enforced in
accordance with the internal laws of the State of California, without regard to
the conflict of laws rules thereof, provided that the law of the State in which
each Facility is located (each a "SITUS STATE") shall govern procedures for
enforcing, in the respective Situs State, provisional and other remedies
directly related to such Facility and related personal property as may be
required pursuant to the law of such Situs State, including without limitation
the appointment of a receiver; and, further provided that the law of the Situs
State also applies to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to create,
perfect and foreclose the security interests and liens created under this Master
Lease, and (f) incorporates by this reference any Exhibits and Schedules
attached hereto.

      23. MEDITRUST CAROLINA FACILITIES.

            23.1 TENANT PURCHASE OPTION.

            (a) Provided no Event of Default exists on the applicable Call
Exercise Date or the applicable closing date, Tenant shall have the option to
purchase each of the Meditrust Carolina Facilities by giving Landlord written
notice (a "CALL EXERCISE NOTICE") thereof on a date (the "CALL EXERCISE DATE")
that is at least thirty (30) days but no more than sixty (60) days prior to the
anticipated closing date for the consummation of such purchase. Landlord shall
not unreasonably withhold its consent to the extension or adjustment of the
dates set forth in the preceding sentence upon the prior written request of
Tenant. The purchase price shall be the applicable amount (the "MINIMUM
RESIDENCE PRICE") set forth on Schedule 6; provided, however, Landlord may, in
its sole discretion, agree to accept a purchase price that is less than the
Minimum Residence Price in connection with Tenant's concurrent arms-length sale
of the applicable Meditrust Carolina Facility to an unaffiliated third-party.
Within ten (10) days of Tenant's delivery of any Call Exercise Notice, the
parties shall sign the standard sale escrow instructions (the "SALE
INSTRUCTIONS") of a national title company (selected by Landlord) that are in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, which Sale Instructions
shall provide (i) for no representations or warranties, due diligence or other
contingencies in favor of Tenant; (ii) that Tenant shall deposit FIVE PERCENT
(5%) of the purchase price with the title company, which may be retained by
Landlord as liquidated damages solely for any breach by Tenant of the terms of
this Section 23.1 or the Sale Instructions (and which in no way shall liquidate
or limit Landlord's damages by reason of any other breach of this Master Lease);
(iii) that the escrow shall close on the date identified in the applicable Call
Exercise Notice, at which time Tenant shall pay the purchase price in cash and
Landlord shall deliver title to the applicable Meditrust Carolina Facility,
subject only to the applicable Permitted Exceptions; (iv) that Tenant shall pay
all transaction costs; (v) that Tenant may elect to cause the conveyance of the
applicable Meditrust Carolina Facility to be made by Landlord to a third party.
If Tenant fails to close the escrow for the purchase of any Meditrust Carolina
Facility for any reason other than a breach by Landlord, then no Event of
Default shall arise solely as a result of such failure, but the rights

9393.9 (NHP Portfolio Lease)

                                       28
<PAGE>

granted to Tenant under this Section 23.1 with respect only to such Meditrust
Carolina Facility shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or
effect.

            (b) Any proceeds received by Tenant from the sale to any third party
of any Meditrust Carolina Facility, to the extent such proceeds are in excess of
the applicable Minimum Residence Purchase Price and Tenant's reasonable and
customary transaction costs from such sale, shall immediately be paid by Tenant
to Landlord upon Tenant's receipt thereof. In the event that the net sales
proceeds received by Landlord in connection with the sale (the "NET SALES
PROCEEDS") are less than the applicable Minimum Residence Price, the Security
Deposit allocable to the Meditrust Carolina Facility (as shown on Schedule 6
attached hereto) shall be applied and paid to Landlord to cover the shortfall up
to the applicable Minimum Residence Price (the "APPLIED SECURITY DEPOSIT"). Any
portion of the allocable Security Deposit not so applied (the "RETAINED SECURITY
DEPOSIT") shall continue to be held by Landlord as a portion of the Security
Deposit required under this Lease. In the event that the Net Sales Proceeds from
any subsequent sale of a Meditrust Carolina Facility are less than the
applicable Minimum Residence Price, the Security Deposit allocable to such
Meditrust Carolina Facility (as shown on Schedule 6 attached hereto), together
with the Retained Security Deposit, if any, shall be applied and paid to
Landlord to cover the shortfall up to the applicable Minimum Residence Price.
Following the sale of the last Meditrust Carolina Facility, any Retained
Security Deposit not applied to the payment of the Minimum Residence Price shall
be promptly returned to Tenant.

            (c) The purchase option granted to Tenant pursuant to this Section
23.1 shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect with
respect to each Meditrust Carolina Facility for which Tenant has not then duly
given a Call Exercise Notice on the date that is one (1) year from the Effective
Date.

            23.2 ADJUSTMENT TO MINIMUM RENT, LANDLORD'S INVESTMENT AND SECURITY
DEPOSIT. Concurrently with the closing of any sale of any Meditrust Carolina
Facility pursuant to Section 23.1, (a) the Minimum Rent shall be reduced by the
product of (i) the lesser of (x) the Net Sales Proceeds, Applied Security
Deposit and Retained Security Deposit received by Landlord in connection with
the sale, or (y) the applicable Minimum Residence Price, and (ii) seventeen and
ninety-five one-hundredths percent (17.95%); (b) Landlord's Investment shall be
reduced by the amount of the Net Sales Proceeds, Applied Security Deposit and
Retained Security Deposit received by Landlord in connection with the sale;
provided, however, such amount shall not exceed the Minimum Residence Price; and
(c) the Security Deposit and Collateral Amount shall be reduced by the amount of
the Applied Security Deposit and Retained Security Deposit received by Landlord
in connection with the sale. Upon the sale of the last Meditrust Carolina
Facility, the Security Deposit and Collateral Amount shall be further reduced by
the amount of the Retained Security Deposit subsequently due to Tenant pursuant
to Section 23.1(b) above, if any.

      24. QUIET ENJOYMENT. So long as no Event of Default exists, Landlord
covenants and agrees that Tenant shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and
enjoy the Premises for the Term free from claims by, through or under Landlord,
subject to all of the provisions of this Master Lease.

                                       29
<PAGE>

      25. NO PERSONAL LIABILITY OF TRUSTEE. It is expressly understood and
agreed by the parties hereto that (a) this Lease is executed and delivered by
Donald D. Bradley (the "TRUSTEE") not individually or personally, but solely as
trustee of MLD Delaware Trust pursuant to that certain Trust Agreement for MLD
Delaware Trust dated as of March 11, 1998, by and between Nationwide Health
Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation, as owner, and Mark L. Desmond, as
trustee, as amended from time to time (as amended, the "TRUST"), in the exercise
of the powers and authority conferred and vested in Trustee; (b) each of the
representations, undertakings and agreements herein made on the part of the
Trust is made and intended not as a personal representation, undertaking or
agreement by Trustee, but is made and intended for the purpose of binding only
the Trust; (c) nothing herein contained shall be construed as creating any
liability on Trustee, individually or personally, to perform any covenant
(either express or implied) herein, all such liability, if any being expressly
waived by Tenant and by any person claiming by, through or under Tenant; and (d)
under no circumstances shall Trustee be personally liable for the payment of any
indebtedness or expenses of the Trust or be liable for the breach or failure of
any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by the
Trust under this Lease.

      26. JOINDER OF EXCLUDED FACILITIES.

            26.1 JOINDER OF FACILITIES. As of the Effective Date, Landlord and
Tenant have not obtained all necessary consents and approvals from the Oregon
Housing and Community Development, Wild West Post No. 91 Veterans of Foreign
Wars and Federal National Mortgage Association (the "CONSENTS") required for
inclusion of the Excluded Facilities in this Master Lease. Landlord and Tenant
acknowledge and agreed that the Excluded Facilities would have been included in
this Master Lease if such Consents were available as of the Effective Date.
Accordingly, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that promptly following receipt of
the Consents with respect to any of the Excluded Facilities, (i) such Excluded
Facility shall be added to and become a part of the Premises hereunder, and (ii)
Landlord and Tenant shall execute a joinder to this Master Lease in the form of
Exhibit G to evidence the addition of such Excluded Facility to the Premises
pursuant to this Section 26.

            26.2 ADJUSTMENT TO MINIMUM RENT, LANDLORD'S INVESTMENT AND SECURITY
DEPOSIT. Concurrently with the joinder of any Excluded Facility pursuant to
Section 26.1, (a) the Minimum Rent shall be increased by the Minimum Rent
allocated to the applicable Excluded Facility as set forth on Schedule 7
attached hereto; (b) Landlord's Investment shall be increased by the amount
allocated for Landlord's Investment with respect to the applicable Excluded
Facility as set forth on Schedule 7 attached hereto; and (c) the Security
Deposit and Collateral Amount shall be increased by the amount allocated for the
Security Deposit with respect to the applicable Excluded Facility as set forth
on Schedule 7 attached hereto.

      27. ADVISORY FEE. Upon the sale of the Meditrust Carolina Facilities
pursuant to Section 23 above, Tenant's request, Landlord shall pay to Tenant the
amount of TWO HUNDRED NINETY-TWO THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED SEVENTY-EIGHT DOLLARS
($292,778) (the "ADVISORY FEE") to be paid by Tenant to certain of its
professional advisors for services rendered in connection with acquisition of
the Carolina Facilities and this Master Lease. In the event less than all of the
Meditrust Carolina Facilities are sold at any one time, the amount then payable
by Landlord with respect to such Meditrust Carolina Facility(ies) sold shall be
equal to the product of (a) the

9393.9 (NHP Portfolio Lease)

                                       30
<PAGE>

Advisory Fee, and (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the
Minimum Residence Price allocable to such Meditrust Carolina Facility(ies) on
Schedule 6 attached hereto, and the denominator of which is $17,395,000. Any
portion of the Advisory Fee disbursed to Tenant shall be utilized by Tenant only
for the purposes described in this Section 27. Landlord assumes, and shall have,
no liability or obligation to any Person other than Tenant for the payment of
the sums described in this Section 27.

                                FAIR MARKET VALUE

            "FAIR MARKET VALUE" means the fair market value of the Premises or
applicable portion thereof on a specified date as agreed to by the parties, or
failing such agreement within ten (10) days of such date, as established
pursuant the following appraisal process. Each party shall within ten (10) days
after written demand by the other select one MAI Appraiser to participate in the
determination of Fair Market Value. For all purposes under this Master Lease,
the Fair Market Value shall be the fair market value of the Premises or
applicable portion thereof unencumbered by this Master Lease. Within ten (10)
days of such selection, the MAI Appraisers so selected by the parties shall
select a third (3rd) MAI Appraiser. The three (3) selected MAI Appraisers shall
each determine the Fair Market Value of the Premises or applicable portion
thereof within thirty days of the selection of the third appraiser. To the
extent consistent with sound appraisal practices as then existing at the time of
any such appraisal, and if requested by Landlord, such appraisal shall be made
on a basis consistent with the basis on which the Premises or applicable portion
thereof were appraised at the time of their acquisition by Landlord. Tenant
shall pay the fees and expenses of any MAI Appraiser retained pursuant to this
Exhibit.

            If either party fails to select a MAI Appraiser within the time
period set forth in the foregoing paragraph, the MAI Appraiser selected by the
other party shall alone determine the fair market value of the Premises or
applicable portion thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Exhibit and
the Fair Market Value so determined shall be binding upon the parties. If the
MAI Appraisers selected by the parties are unable to agree upon a third (3rd)
MAI Appraiser within the time period set forth in the foregoing paragraph,
either party shall have the right to apply at Tenant's expense to the presiding
judge of the court of original trial jurisdiction in the county in which the
Premises or applicable portion thereof are located to name the third (3rd) MAI
Appraiser.

            Within five(5) days after completion of the third (3rd) MAI
Appraiser's appraisal, all three (3) MAI Appraisers shall meet and a majority of
the MAI Appraisers shall attempt to determine the fair market value of the
Premises or applicable portion thereof. If a majority are unable to determine
the fair market value at such meeting, the three (3) appraisals shall be added
together and their total divided by three (3). The resulting quotient shall be
the Fair Market Value. If, however, either or both of the low appraisal or the
high appraisal are more than TEN PERCENT (10%) lower or higher than the middle
appraisal, any such lower or higher appraisal shall be disregarded. If only one
(1) appraisal is disregarded, the remaining two (2) appraisals shall be added
together and their total divided by two (2), and the resulting quotient shall be
such Fair Market Value. If both the lower appraisal and higher appraisal are
disregarded as provided herein, the middle appraisal shall be such Fair Market
Value. In any event, the result of the foregoing appraisal process shall be
final and binding.

            "MAI APPRAISER" shall mean an appraiser licensed or otherwise
qualified to do business in the state(s) where the Premises or applicable
portion thereof are located and who has

                      EXCEPTIONS TO INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS

      Alterra has in place a liability insurance program through Commonwealth
Risk Services, Inc., a risk management organization, to provide $5 million of
aggregate liability coverage. The Commonwealth program is a claims made
insurance policy, including general liability and professional liability, which
was initially issued by Legion Indemnity Company, an A. M. Best A- insurance
company. Legion Indemnity Company utilizes the insurance profit center program
offered by Mutual Indemnity (Bermuda) Ltd. (initially A. M. Best A- rated),
which is a risk financing plan designed to control the underwriting, profit and
investment income from a insured's insurance policy. Both ratings were reduced
after the initial formation of the program. The fronting insurance carrier for
the program, Legion Indemnity Company ("Legion"), became subject to a
Conservation Order issued by the Illinois Department of Insurance that limits
Legion's ability to pay claims without court approval. Legion's current credit
rating is "E."

      Pursuant to the insurance profit center program, Legion issued a policy to
Alterra for $5 million of aggregate coverage, subject to a $25,000 per
occurrence deductible and all claims paid by Legion to Alterra will reduce the
aggregate limit accordingly. Alterra paid the premium for the policy and also
posted cash collateral. Pursuant to its re-insurance agreement with Mutual
Indemnity (Bermuda) Ltd., Legion ceded the funds from Alterra to Mutual, which
will invest the funds until losses or other expenses are actually paid.
Favorable claims experience will result in dividends to Alterra. The policy is
an annual policy that expires on July 1, 2002, and the premium has been paid for
the period through July 1, 2002.

      As outlined above and set forth in the policy, this program does not
comply with the following particulars of Section 6 of the Master Lease:

      1.    The financial ratings of the insurers involved are below those
            required.

      2.    The policy aggregate limit is $5,000,000, not $10,000,000.

      3.    The policy is written on a "claims made" basis as opposed to an
            "occurrence" basis.

                  In addition to these matters related to Alterra's general
      liability/professional liability insurance program, the following matters
      may not comply with the requirements of Section 6 of the Master Lease:

            1.    The deductible under Alterra's workers' compensation is
                  $250,000, which the Company considers to be commercially
                  reasonable for the size of the program.

                                  Schedule 3-1
<PAGE>

2.    Deductibles for Flood, Windstorm and Quake coverage are typically 2% of
      value with a $100,000 minimum. Lower deductibles for these forms of
      coverage are generally not available in the market.

3.    Alterra has consistently inflated its property schedule of values by 2% to
      4% per year over initial construction or acquisition costs. These
      scheduled amounts are believed generally to be adequate to cover the
      replacement cost of an individual property but have not been recently
      verified as adequate for every property. The Company intends to perform
      that analysis in conjunction with its property insurance renewal of July
      1, 2002.

4.    The Company's current policies and typically practice in the commercial
      insurance market generally do not permit delivery of replacement policies
      10 days prior to the expiration of a policy and it is unlikely that it is
      feasible to deliver the renewal policy within 10 days of renewal, although
      Alterra will use its commercially reasonable efforts to do so as soon
      thereafter as is practicable.

5.    Upon the expiration of the Company's current general liability insurance
      program (effective July 1, 2002), the Company may defer implementing a
      general liability insurance program until the earlier of the expiration of
      the Forbearance Period (as defined in the Memorandum of Understanding),
      the filing of a Conforming Bankruptcy Proceeding (as defined in the
      Memorandum of Understanding) by the Company or the conversion of an
      involuntary petition to a voluntary petition pursuant to Section 1(a)(iii)
      of the Memorandum of Understanding (such date, the "Plan Commencement
      Date"). Upon the Plan Commencement Date the Company shall have in effect a
      general liability insurance program, which complies with the requirements
      of Section 6 of the Lease or a rent-a-captive program with a carrier with
      an A- or better rating, or a fully funded self-insurance program, in each
      case providing $5.0 million of aggregate liability coverage.

      Alterra Clare Bridge of Greensboro - In the early fall of 2001, Alterra
became aware that some of the ceilings in the Alterra Clare Bridge of Greensboro
facility, principally in the dining rooms, were visibly sagging. Alterra
immediately retained an independent structural engineer to determine the cause
of the problem and to recommend the appropriate repairs. The engineer,
Sutton-Kennerly & Associates, determined that the sagging was the result of
defectively designed and constructed roof trusses and negligently installed roof
trusses and bracing. Alterra has provided Landlord with a copy of the
Sutton-Kennerly & Associates report dated November 1, 2001.

      In October 2001, Alterra sent notices and demand letters to the
contractor, all known subcontractors, the architect, and the truss manufacturer
advising them of the problem and requesting that such parties put their
respective liability carriers on notice. Inasmuch as the engineer concluded that
repairs must be commenced immediately, Alterra decided to proceed with repairs
in advance of final determination of liability in order to preserve the value of
the collateral and minimize the chance of injury or further damage. As a result,
repairs were commenced in November 2001 and as of the date hereof have been
completed.

      Alterra has retained construction litigation counsel to proceed with legal
action against the various responsible parties. Currently Alterra intends to
pursue arbitration claims against the various parties under the original
construction contracts.

      Alterra Clare Bridge of Charleston - During the fall of 2001, Alterra
became aware of mold and mildew on HVAC ceiling vents and other areas of the
Alterra Clare Bridge of Charleston facility. Alterra's initial investigation
suggested that the HVAC system was not properly designed or installed. In
December 2001, Alterra sent notice and a demand letter to the architects
requesting that they put their liability carrier on notice. In the meantime,
Alterra retained an independent engineer to verify the cause of the problem and
to recommend repairs. The engineer, Professional Engineering Consultants, P.A.,
determined that the HVAC system lacked adequate capacity to properly dehumidify
the outside air entering the facility and the design was defective. Alterra has
provided Landlord with a copy of the Professional Engineering Consultants report
dated January 3, 2002. Alterra has proceeded with the repairs in advance of
final determination of liability in order to preserve the value of the
collateral.

      Alterra has been advised that the repairs should be completed no later
than April 15, 2002. Alterra has retained construction litigation counsel to

agreement.

9. SECTION 11.2(o).

      Alterra failed to comply with the financial covenants set forth in the
Meditrust Leases. It is also likely there was noncompliance with certain
provisions of the lease arising from Alterra's inability to pay its debts
generally as they became due. In addition, the operation of the representations
and warranties of the Meditrust Leases contained a continuing concept whereby
the Tenant was deemed to be re-making the representations and warranties on a
continual basis, and the effect of this provision may have resulted in other
technical defaults, although Tenant did not receive any notice of any such
defaults from Meditrust.
