fully enforceable by Landlord against Tenant in accordance with their respective
terms. Tenant specifically acknowledges and affirms that, except as expressly

following conditions has occurred, each of which shall be deemed a condition
precedent to the Landlord's obligations and covenants hereunder:

                  (A) All conditions to the effectiveness of the JER/NHP
      Amendments have been satisfied and the Transfer shall have been
      consummated and closed in accordance with the Plan;

                  (B) the Lease Documents shall continue to be and shall be the
      valid and binding obligations of the Surviving Entity and shall continue
      to be and shall be in full force and effect, enforceable in accordance
      with their respective terms by Landlord against the Surviving Entity; and

                  (C) the claims of Landlord shall have been treated as
      unimpaired in accordance with the Plan.

            5. OUTSIDE DATE OF TRANSFER. This First Amendment may at the option
of any party be declared null and void ab initio in the event that, the Transfer
has not been consummated and has not become effective, and the Plan has not been
confirmed (by final order of the Bankruptcy Court that is no longer subject to
appeal) by, December 31, 2003.

            6. FURTHER INSTRUMENTS. Each of the undersigned will, whenever and
as often as it shall be reasonably requested so to do by another party, take all
actions reasonably required and shall cause to be executed, acknowledged or
delivered, any and all such further instruments and documents as may be
necessary or proper, in the reasonable opinion of the


                                      -3-

requesting party, in order to carry out the intent and purpose of this First
