<PAGE>   13
         The Leased Property is leased in its present condition, AS IS, without
representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, by the Lessor and
subject to:  (i) the rights of parties in possession; (ii) the existing state

Leased Property or by an accurate survey thereof.

         1.2     TERM.  The term of this Lease shall consist of:  the "Initial
Term", which shall commence on February 28, 1997 (the "Commencement Date") and
end on February 28, 2012; provided, however, that this Lease may be sooner
terminated as hereinafter provided.    In addition, the Lessee shall have the
option(s) to extend the Term (as hereinafter defined) as provided for in
Section 1.3.

         1.3     EXTENDED TERMS.

                 (a)  Provided that this Lease has not been previously
terminated, and as long as there exists no Lease Default (as hereinafter
defined) at the time of exercise and on the last day of the Initial Term or the
then current Extended Term (as hereinafter defined), as the case may be, the
Lessee is hereby granted the option to extend the Initial Term of this Lease
for two (2) additional periods (collectively, the "Extended Terms") as follows:
two (2) successive five (5) year periods for a maximum Term, if all such
options are exercised, which ends on February 28, 2022.  The Lessee's extension
options shall be exercised by the Lessee by giving written notice to the Lessor
of each such extension (each, an "Extension Notice") at least one hundred
eighty (180) days, but not more than three hundred sixty (360) days, prior to
the termination of the Initial Term or the then current Extended Term, as the
case may be.  Except as specifically set forth in subsection (b) below, the
Lessee shall have no right to rescind any such notice once given.  The Lessee
may not exercise its option for more than one Extended Term at a time.  During
each effective Extended Term, all of the terms and conditions of this Lease
shall continue in full force and effect, except that the Base Rent (as
hereinafter defined) for each such Extended Term shall be adjusted as set forth
in Section 3.1.1.

                 (b)  If Lessor shall receive an Extension Notice, Lessor shall
notify (the "Base Rent Adjustment Notice") Lessee, on or before the date which
is ninety (90) days prior to the applicable Rent Adjustment Date, of the Base
Rent for the applicable Extended Term.  Anything to the contrary herein
provided notwithstanding, if the Base Rent for the applicable Extended Term, as
reflected in the Base Rent Adjustment Notice, will exceed the Base Rent in
effect on the date of such Base Rent Adjustment Notice, Lessee shall have the
right to cancel and rescind its Extension Notice by giving Lessor written
notice thereof on or



                                       -2-
<PAGE>   14
before the date which is ten (10) Business Days from its receipt of the Base
Rent Adjustment Notice.  Any such notice shall be deemed to automatically
cancel and rescind all Extension Notices, as defined in and relating to one or
more of the Related Leases.  If Lessee shall have given such notice of
cancellation and rescission, Lessor shall have the option, exercisable by
giving Lessee written notice thereof on or before the date which is twenty (20)
Business Days from its receipt of any such notice of cancellation and
rescission, to extend the then current Term for a period of up to nine (9)
additional months, as specified in such notice, at the then applicable Base
Rent and upon all of the other terms and provisions set forth in this Lease
(except for Lessee's option to extend the Term as provided in Section 1.3(a)
above, which option shall thereupon immediately terminate), and, upon the
giving of such notice of extension by Lessor, the then current Term shall be
automatically so extended for the period set forth in such notice without the
need to exchange or enter into any other documents or instruments.

                 (c)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
herein, the Lessee's rights to exercise the options granted in this Section 1.3
are subject to the further condition that concurrently with the exercise of any
extension option hereunder, the Lessee shall have exercised its option to
extend the terms of all of the Related Leases in accordance with the provisions
of Section 1.3 of each of the Related Leases.

                                      RENT

        3.1     RENT FOR LAND, LEASED IMPROVEMENTS, RELATED RIGHTS AND
FIXTURES.  The Lessee will pay to the Lessor, in lawful money of the United
States of America, at the Lessor's address set forth herein or at such other
place or to such other Person as the Lessor from time to time may designate in
writing, rent for the Leased Property, as follows.

                3.1.1     BASE RENT:  The Lessee shall pay to the Lessor a base
        rent (the "Base Rent") per annum that is equal to Six Hundred Fifteen
        Thousand Six Hundred Sixty Dollars ($615,660) and that is payable in
        advance in equal, consecutive monthly installments due on the first day
        of each calendar month, commencing on March 1, 1997 (such installments
        to include Rent for February 28, 1997); provided, however, that on each
        Rent Adjustment Date, the Base Rent shall be adjusted (prior to an
        adjustment pursuant to Section 3.1.2 hereof) to equal the greater of
        (i) the then current Base Rent or (ii) an amount equal to the Meditrust
        Investment multiplied by the Rent Adjustment Rate then in effect on
        such Rent Adjustment Date.

                3.1.2     ADDITIONAL RENT:  In addition to the adjustment to
        the Base Rent to be made on each Rent Adjustment Date as provided in
        Section 3.1.1 (and after such adjustment in the applicable year),
        commencing on March 1, 1998 and each March 1st thereafter during the
        Term and any Extended Term (each such date shall be referred to herein
        as an "Additional Base Rent Adjustment Date") the Base Rent shall be
        increased so as to equal the lesser of (i) an amount determined by
        multiplying the Base Rent then in effect times 1.02 and (ii) an amount
        determined by multiplying the Base Rent then in effect by the product
        of two (2) times a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the
        Consumer Price Index on the applicable Additional Base Rent Adjustment
        Date and the denominator of which shall be the Consumer Price Index on
        the preceding Additional Base Rent Adjustment Date (or on the
        Commencement Date in the case of the First Additional Base Rent
        Adjustment Date).

        Until the Consumer Price Index is established, Lessee shall pay the
        Base Rent calculated in accordance with clause (i) above, and once the
        Consumer Price Index for the Additional Base Rent Adjustment Date of
        such Lease Year is published, the new Base Rent (as increased) shall be
        effective retroactively as of the Additional Base Rent Adjustment Date
        with the remaining payments to be adjusted ratably.

        3.2     INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

        3.3     SURVIVAL.  The obligations of the Lessor and the Lessee
contained in this Section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination
of this Lease.

<PAGE>   33
        3.4     ADDITIONAL CHARGES.  Subject to the rights to contest as set
forth in Article 15, in addition to the Base Rent and Additional Rent, (a) the
Lessee will also pay and discharge as and when due and payable all Impositions,
all amounts, liabilities and obligations under the Appurtenant Agreements due
from or payable by the owner of the Leased Property, all amounts, liabilities
and obligations under the Permitted Encumbrances due from or payable by the
owner of the Leased Property and all other amounts, liabilities and obligations
which the Lessee assumes or agrees to pay under this Lease, and (b) in the
event of any failure on the part of the Lessee to pay any of those items
referred to in clause (a) above, the Lessee will also promptly pay and
discharge every fine, penalty, interest and cost which may be added for
non-payment or late payment of such items (the items referred to in clauses (a)
and (b) above being referred to herein collectively as the "Additional
Charges"), and the Lessor shall have all legal, equitable and contractual
rights, powers and remedies provided in this Lease, by statute or otherwise, in
the case of non-payment of the Additional Charges, as well as the Base Rent and
Additional Rent.  To the extent that the Lessee pays any Additional Charges to
the Lessor pursuant to any requirement of this Lease, the Lessee shall be
relieved of its obligation to pay such Additional Charges to any other Person
to which such Additional Charges would otherwise be due.

        3.5     LEASING COMMITMENT FEE:  The Lessee shall pay to the Lessor the
Leasing Commitment Fee simultaneously with the execution of this Lease;
provided, however, that, at the Lessor's option, the Leasing Commitment Fee
shall be held in an escrow account established with a Person designated by the
Lessor pursuant to an escrow arrangement satisfactory to the Lessor, with
interest thereon benefiting the Lessor.  If the Lessor exercises its option to
require that the Leasing Commitment Fee be held in such an escrow account (a)
the Leasing Commitment Fee shall be disbursed from said escrow account only
upon the joint instructions of the Lessee and the Lessor (which instructions
from the Lessee shall be immediately given upon the request of the Lessor) and
in no event shall the Leasing Commitment Fee be disbursed therefrom, in whole
or in part, unless and until so requested by the Lessor and (b) the Lessor
shall bear the risk of loss of or misappropriation of the Leasing Commitment
Fee by such escrow agent.

        3.6     NET LEASE.  The Rent shall be paid absolutely net to the
Lessor, so that this Lease shall yield to the Lessor the full amount of the
installments of Base Rent, and the payments of Additional Rent and Additional
Charges throughout the Term.

        3.7     NO LESSEE TERMINATION OR OFFSET.

                3.7.1     NO TERMINATION.  Except as may be otherwise
        specifically and expressly provided in Article 13 or Article 14 of this
        Lease, the Lessee, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law,
        shall remain bound by this Lease in accordance with its terms and shall
        neither take any action without the consent of the Lessor to modify,
        surrender or terminate the same, nor seek nor be entitled to any
        abatement, deduction, deferment or reduction of Rent, or set- off
        against the Rent, nor shall the respective obligations of the Lessor
        and the Lessee be otherwise affected by reason of (a) any Casualty or
        any Taking





                                      -22-
<PAGE>   34
        of the Leased Property, (b) the lawful or unlawful prohibition of, or
        restriction upon, the Lessee's use of the Leased Property or the
        interference with such use by any Person (other than the Lessor, except
        to the extent permitted hereunder) or by reason of eviction by
        paramount title; (c) any claim that the Lessee has or might have
        against the Lessor, (d) any default or breach of any warranty by the
        Lessor or any of the other Meditrust Entities under this Lease, any
        other Lease Document or any Related Party Agreement, (e) any
        bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, readjustment,
        liquidation, dissolution, winding up or other proceedings affecting the
        Lessor or any assignee or transferee of the Lessor or (f) any other
        cause whether similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing, other than
        a discharge of the Lessee from any of the Lease Obligations as a matter
        of law.

                3.7.2     WAIVER.  The Lessee to the fullest extent not
        prohibited by applicable law, hereby specifically waives all rights,
        arising from any occurrence whatsoever, which may now or hereafter be
        conferred upon it by law to (a) modify, surrender or terminate this
        Lease or quit or surrender the Leased Property or (b) entitle the
        Lessee to any abatement, reduction, suspension or deferment of the Rent
        or other sums payable by the Lessee hereunder, except as otherwise
        specifically and expressly provided in this Lease.

                3.7.3     INDEPENDENT COVENANTS.  The obligations of the Lessor
        and the Lessee hereunder shall be separate and independent covenants
        and agreements and the Rent and all other sums payable by the Lessee
        hereunder shall continue to be payable in all events unless the
        obligations to pay the same shall be terminated pursuant to the express
        provisions of this Lease or (except in those instances where the
        obligation to pay expressly survives the termination of this Lease) by
        termination of this Lease other than by reason of an Event of Default.

        3.8     ABATEMENT OF RENT LIMITED.  There shall be no abatement of Rent
on account of any Casualty, Taking or other event, except that in the event of
a partial Taking or a temporary Taking as described in Section 14.3, the Base
Rent shall be abated as follows:  (a) in the case of such a partial Taking, the
Meditrust Investment shall be reduced for the purposes of calculating Base Rent
pursuant to Section 3.1 by subtracting therefrom, as applicable, the net amount
of the Award received by the Lessor, and (b) in the case of such a temporary
Taking, by reducing the Base Rent for the period of such a temporary Taking, by
the net amount of the Award received by the Lessor.

        For the purposes of this Section 3.8, the "net amount of the Award
received by the Lessor" shall mean the Award paid to the Lessor on account of
such Taking, minus all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Lessor in
connection therewith, and minus any amounts paid to or for the account of the
Lessee to reimburse for the costs and expenses of reconstructing the Facility
following such Taking in order to create a viable and functional Facility under
all of the circumstances.

                               INSURANCE PAYMENTS

        4.1     PAYMENT OF IMPOSITIONS.

                4.1.1     LESSEE TO PAY.  Subject to the provisions of Section
        4.1.2 and Article 15, the Lessee will pay or cause to be paid all
        Impositions before any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added for
        non-payment, such payments to be made directly to the taxing authority
        where feasible, and, upon request, the Lessee will promptly furnish the
        Lessor copies of official receipts or other satisfactory proof
        evidencing payment.

                4.1.2     INSTALLMENT ELECTIONS.  If any such Imposition may,
        at the option of the taxpayer, lawfully be paid in installments
        (whether or not interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of such
        Imposition), the Lessee may exercise the option to pay the same (and
        any accrued interest on the unpaid balance of such Imposition) in
        installments and, in such event, shall pay such installments during the
        Term hereof (subject to the Lessee's right to contest pursuant to the
        provisions of Section 4.1.5 below) as the same respectively become due
        and before any fine, penalty, premium, further interest or cost may be
        added thereto.

                4.1.3     RETURNS AND REPORTS.  The Lessor, at its expense,
        shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, prepare and file all
        tax returns and reports as may be required by Governmental Authorities
        in respect of the Lessor's net income, gross receipts, franchise taxes
        and taxes on its capital stock, and the Lessee, at its expense, shall,
        to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, prepare and
        file all other tax returns and reports in respect of any Imposition as
        may be required by Governmental Authorities.  The Lessor and the Lessee
        shall, upon request of the other, provide such data as is maintained by
        the party to whom the request is made with respect to the Leased
        Property as may be necessary to prepare any required returns and
        reports.  In the event that any Governmental Authority classifies any
        property covered by this Lease as personal property, the Lessee shall
        file all personal property tax returns in such jurisdictions where it
        may legally so file.  The Lessor, to the extent it possesses the same,
        and the Lessee, to the extent it possesses the same, will provide the
        other party, upon request, with cost and depreciation records necessary
        for filing returns for any portion of Leased Property so classified as
        personal property.  Where the Lessor is legally required to file
        personal property tax returns, if the Lessee notifies the Lessor of the
        obligation to do so in each year at least thirty (30) days prior to the
        date any protest must be filed, the Lessee will be provided with copies
        of assessment notices so as to enable the Lessee to file a protest.

<PAGE>   36
                4.1.4     REFUNDS.  If no Lease Default shall have occurred and
        be continuing, any refund due from any taxing authority in respect of
        any Imposition paid by the Lessee shall be paid over to or retained by
        the Lessee.  If a Lease Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
        at the Lessor's option, such funds shall be paid over to the Lessor
        and/or retained by the Lessor and applied toward the Obligations in
        accordance with the Lease Documents and/or the Related Party
        Agreements.

                4.1.5     PROTEST.  Upon giving notice to the Lessor, at the
        Lessee's option and sole cost and expense, and subject to compliance
        with the provisions of Article 15, the Lessee may contest, protest,
        appeal, or institute such other proceedings as the Lessee may deem
        appropriate to effect a reduction of any Imposition and the Lessor, at
        the Lessee's cost and expense as aforesaid, shall fully cooperate in a
        reasonable manner with the Lessee in connection with such protest,
        appeal or other action.

        4.2     NOTICE OF IMPOSITIONS.  The Lessor shall give prompt notice to
the Lessee of all Impositions payable by the Lessee hereunder of which the
Lessor at any time has knowledge, but the Lessor's failure to give any such
notice shall, in the event Lessee has, or has the ability  (based on the annual
recurring nature of the Impositions) to obtain, independent knowledge, in no
way diminish the Lessee's obligations hereunder to pay such Impositions.

        4.3     ADJUSTMENT OF IMPOSITIONS.  Impositions imposed in respect of
the period during which the expiration or earlier termination of the Term
occurs shall be adjusted and prorated between the Lessor and the Lessee,
whether or not such Impositions are imposed before or after such expiration or
termination, and the Lessee's obligation to pay its prorated share thereof
shall survive such expiration or termination.

        4.4     UTILITY AND OTHER CHARGES.  The Lessee will pay or cause to be
paid (i) all charges for electricity, power, gas, oil, water, telephone and
other utilities used in the Leased Property and (ii) all other fees, charges or
assessments, of any kind or nature, attributable to the Leased Property, in all
cases during the Term and thereafter until the Lessee surrenders the Leased
Property in the manner required by this Lease.

        4.5     INSURANCE PREMIUMS.  The Lessee will pay or cause to be paid
all premiums for the insurance coverage required to be maintained pursuant to
Article 12 during the Term, and thereafter until the Lessee yields up the
Leased Property in the manner required by this Lease.  All such premiums shall
be paid annually in advance and the Lessee shall furnish the Lessor with
evidence satisfactory to the Lessor that all such premiums have been so paid
prior to the commencement of the Term and thereafter at least ten (10) days
prior to the due date of each premium which thereafter becomes due.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lessee may pay such insurance premiums to
the insurer in monthly installments so long as the applicable insurer is
contractually obligated to give the Lessor not less than a sixty (60) days
notice of non-payment and so long as no Lease Default has occurred and is
continuing.  In the event of the failure of the Lessee either to comply with
the insurance requirements in Article 12, or to pay the premiums





                                      -25-

for such insurance, or to deliver such policies or certificates thereof to the
Lessor at the times required hereunder, the Lessor shall be entitled, but shall
have no obligation, to effect such insurance and pay the premiums therefor,
which premiums shall be a demand obligation of the Lessee to the Lessor.

        4.6     DEPOSITS.

                4.6.1     LESSOR'S OPTION.  At the option of the Lessor, which
        may be exercised at any time after the occurrence of an Event of
        Default, the Lessee shall, upon written request of the Lessor, on the
        first day on the calendar month immediately following such request, and
        on the first day of each calendar month thereafter during the Term
        (each of which dates is referred to as a "Monthly Deposit Date"), pay
        to and deposit with the Lessor a sum equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of
        the Impositions to be levied, charged, filed, assessed or imposed upon
        or against the Leased Property within one (1) year after said Monthly
        Deposit Date and a sum equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the premiums
        for the insurance policies required pursuant to Article 12 which are
        payable within one (1) year after said Monthly Deposit Date.  If the
        amount of the Impositions to be levied, charged, assessed or imposed or
        insurance premiums to be paid within the ensuing one (1) year period
        shall not be fixed upon any Monthly Deposit Date, such amount for the
        purpose of computing the deposit to be made by the Lessee hereunder
        shall be estimated by the Lessor with an appropriate adjustment to be
        promptly made between the Lessor and the Lessee as soon as such amount
        becomes determinable.  In addition, the Lessor may, at its option, from
        time to time require that any particular deposit be greater than
        one-twelfth (1/12th) of the estimated amount payable within one (1)
        year after said Monthly Deposit Date, if such additional deposit is
        required in order to provide to the Lessor a sufficient fund from which
        to make payment of all Impositions on or before the next due date of
        any installment thereof, or to make payment of any required insurance
        premiums not later than the due date thereof.

                4.6.2     USE OF DEPOSITS.  The sums deposited by the Lessee
        under this Section 4.6 shall be held by the Lessor and shall be applied
        in payment of the Impositions or insurance premiums, as the case may
        be, when due.  Any such deposits may be commingled with other assets of
        the Lessor, and shall be deposited by the Lessor at such bank as the
        Lessor may, from time to time select, and the Lessor shall not be
        liable to the Lessee or any other Person (a) based on the Lessor's (or
        such bank's) choice of investment vehicles, (b) for any consequent loss
        of principal or interest or (c) for any unavailability of funds based
        on such choice of investment; provided, however, that notwithstanding
        the foregoing, the Lessor shall only invest any such deposit in any of
        the investment vehicles described on EXHIBIT E hereto.  Furthermore,
        the Lessor shall bear no responsibility for the financial condition of,
        nor any act or omission by, the Lessor's depository bank.  The income
        from such investment or interest on such deposit shall be paid to the
        Lessee on a semi-annual basis as long as no Lease Default has occurred
        and is then continuing, and as long as no fact or circumstance exists
        which, with the giving of notice and/or the passage





                                      -26-
<PAGE>   38
        of time, would constitute a Lease Default.  The Lessee shall give not
        less than ten (10) days prior written notice to the Lessor in each
        instance when an Imposition or insurance premium is due, specifying the
        Imposition or premium to be paid and the amount thereof, the place of
        payment, and the last day on which the same may be paid in order to
        comply with the requirements of this Lease.  If the Lessor, in
        violation of its obligations under this Lease, does not pay any
        Imposition or insurance premium when due, for which a sufficient
        deposit exists, the Lessee shall not be in default hereunder by virtue
        of the failure of the Lessor to pay such Imposition or such insurance
        premium and the Lessor shall pay any interest or fine assessed by
        virtue of the Lessor's failure to pay such Imposition or insurance
        premium.

                4.6.3     DEFICITS.  If for any reason any deposit held by the
        Lessor under this Section 4.6 shall not be sufficient to pay an
        Imposition or insurance premium within the time specified therefor in
        this Lease, then, within ten (10) days after demand by the Lessor, the
        Lessee shall deposit an additional amount with the Lessor, increasing
        the deposit held by the Lessor so that the Lessor holds sufficient
        funds to pay such Imposition or premium in full (or in installments as
        otherwise provided for herein), together with any penalty or interest
        due thereon.  The Lessor may change its estimate of any Imposition or
        insurance premium for any period on the basis of a change in an
        assessment or tax rate or on the basis of a prior miscalculation or for
        any other good faith reason; in which event, within ten (10) days after
        demand by the Lessor, the Lessee shall deposit with the Lessor the
        amount in excess of the sums previously deposited with the Lessor for
        the applicable period which would theretofore have been payable under
        the revised estimate.

                4.6.4     OTHER PROPERTIES.  If any Imposition shall be levied,
        charged, filed, assessed, or imposed upon or against the Leased
        Property, and if such Imposition shall also be a levy, charge,
        assessment, or imposition upon or for any other real or personal
        property that does not constitute a part of the Leased Property, then
        the computation of the amounts to be deposited under this Section 4.6
        shall be based upon the entire amount of such Imposition and the Lessee
        shall not have the right to apportion any deposit with respect to such
        Imposition.

                4.6.5     TRANSFERS.  In connection with any assignment of the
        Lessor's interest under this Lease, the original Lessor named herein
        and each successor in interest shall have the right to transfer all
        amounts deposited pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.6 then
        in its possession to such assignee (as the subsequent holder of the
        Lessor's interest in this Lease) and upon such transfer, the original
        the Lessor named herein or the applicable successor in interest
        transferring the deposits shall thereupon be completely released from
        all liability with respect to such deposits so transferred and the
        Lessee shall look solely to said assignee, as the subsequent holder of
        the Lessor's interest under this Lease, in reference thereto.  The
        original Lessor named herein or the applicable successor in interest
        transferring the deposits shall provide written notice to the Lessee of
        such transfer.

<PAGE>   39
                4.6.6     SECURITY.  All amounts deposited with the Lessor
        pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.6 shall be held by the
        Lessor as additional security for the payment and performance of the
        Obligations and, upon the occurrence of any Lease Default, the Lessor
        may, in its sole and absolute discretion, apply said amounts towards
        payment or performance of such Obligations.

                4.6.7     RETURN.  Upon the expiration or earlier termination
        of this Lease, provided, that, all of the Lease Obligations have been
        fully paid and performed, any sums then held by the Lessor under this
        Section 4.6 shall be refunded to the Lessee; unless a Related Party
        Default has occurred, in which event such sums may be applied towards
        the Obligations in accordance with the Related Party Agreements.

                4.6.8     RECEIPTS.  The Lessee shall deliver to the Lessor
        copies of all notices, demands, claims, bills and receipts in relation
        to the Impositions and insurance premiums immediately upon receipt
        thereof by the Lessee; provided, that until the occurrence of an Event
        of Default, Lessee shall not be required to deliver to Lessor copies of
        insurance billings received in the ordinary course.

the right to the exclusive possession and use of the Leased Property upon the
terms and conditions of this Lease.

        5.2     PERSONAL PROPERTY; REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF PERSONAL
PROPERTY.

                5.2.1     LESSEE TO EQUIP FACILITY.  The Lessee, at its sole
        cost and expense, shall install, affix or assemble or place on the
        Leased Property, sufficient items of Tangible Personal Property, to
        enable the Leased Property to be operated, in accordance with the
        requirements of this Lease for the Primary Intended Use, and such
        Tangible Personal Property and replacements thereof, shall be at all
        times the property of the Lessee.

                5.2.2     SUFFICIENT PERSONAL PROPERTY.  The Lessee shall
        maintain, during the entire Term, the Tangible Personal Property in
        good order and repair and shall provide at its expense all necessary
        replacements thereof, as may be necessary in order to operate the

        and Insurance Requirements and otherwise in accordance with customary
        practice in the industry for the Primary Intended Use.  In addition,

                                      -28-
<PAGE>   40
        of obsolete items of the Tangible Personal Property during the Term,
        unless the Lessee provides the Lessor with an explanation (reasonably
        acceptable to the Lessor) as to why such Tangible Personal Property is
        no longer required in connection with the operation of the Leased
        Property and (b) at least once in every five (5) year period, and more
        frequently (but no more frequently than once a year) if requested by
        the Lessor, deliver to the Lessor, a detailed inventory of all such
        Tangible Personal Property.

                5.2.3     REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT; LESSOR'S OPTION TO PURCHASE.
        The Lessee shall not remove from the Leased Property any one or more
        items of Tangible Personal Property (whether now owned or hereafter
        acquired), the fair market value of which exceeds TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND
        DOLLARS ($25,000), individually or ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
        ($100,000.00) collectively, except if such Tangible Personal Property
        is simultaneously suitably replaced or the Lessee provides the Lessor
        with an explanation (reasonably satisfactory to the Lessor) as to why
        such Tangible Personal Property is no longer required in connection
        with the operation of the Leased Property.  At its sole cost and
        expense, the Lessee shall restore the Leased Property to the condition
        required by Article 8, including repair of all damage to the Leased
        Property caused by the removal of the Tangible Personal Property,
        whether effected by the Lessee or the Lessor.  Upon the expiration or
        earlier termination of this Lease, the Lessor shall have the option,
        which may be exercised prior to or within sixty (60) days following
        such expiration or termination, of (a) acquiring the Tangible Personal
        Property (pursuant to a bill of sale and assignments of any equipment
        leases, all in such forms as are reasonably satisfactory to the Lessor)
        upon payment of either (i) its fair market value, if this Lease shall
        expire in accordance with its terms or (ii) its book value (the
        Lessee's cost, minus depreciation), but not in excess of its fair
        market value, if this Lease shall terminate prior to the expiration of
        the Term or (b) requiring the Lessee to remove the Tangible Personal
        Property.  If the Lessor exercises its option to purchase the Tangible
        Personal Property, the price to be paid by the Lessor shall be (i)
        reduced by the amount of all payments due on any equipment leases or
        any other Permitted Prior Security Interests assumed by the Lessor and
        (ii) applied to the Lease Obligations before any payment to the Lessee.
        If the Lessor requires the removal of the Tangible Personal Property,
        then all of the Tangible Personal Property that is not removed by the
        Lessee within thirty (30) days following such request shall be
        considered abandoned by the Lessee and may be appropriated, sold,
        destroyed or otherwise disposed of by the Lessor without first giving
        notice thereof to the Lessee, without any payment to the Lessee and
        without any obligation to account therefor.

        6.1     SECURITY FOR LESSEE'S OBLIGATIONS; PERMITTED PRIOR SECURITY
INTERESTS.

                6.1.1     SECURITY.  In order to secure the payment and
        performance of all of the Obligations, the Lessee agrees to provide or
        cause there to be provided, among other things, the following security:

                          (a)     subject to the provisions of Section 6.1.2, a
                first lien and exclusive security interest in the Tangible
                Personal Property , Receivables and certain other Collateral as
                more particularly provided for in the Security Agreement;

                          (b)     the Credit Enhancement;

                          (c)     a first lien and exclusive pledge of all of
                the capital stock of the Lessee all as more particularly set
                forth in the Pledge Agreement.  If any Person other than the
                Lessee shall ever operate the Facility, except for the
                Guarantor under and pursuant to the terms of the Interim
                Management Agreement, a pledge of all capital stock of, or
                partnership or other ownership interests, in such Person shall
                also be provided pursuant to a pledge and security agreement
                substantially similar to the Pledge Agreements; and

                          (d)     a first lien and exclusive pledge and
                assignment of, and security interest in, all Permits and
                Contracts (including, without limitation, the Interim
                Management Agreement), as more particularly provided for in the
                Permits Assignment.

                6.1.2     PURCHASE-MONEY SECURITY INTERESTS AND EQUIPMENT
        LEASES.  Notwithstanding any other provision hereof regarding the
        creation of Liens, but subject to Section 11.3.8, the Lessee may (a)
        grant priority purchase money security interests in items of Tangible
        Personal Property, and (b) lease Tangible Personal Property from
        equipment lessors, as long as in each instance: (i) the other secured
        party or equipment lessor enters into an intercreditor agreement with,
        and satisfactory to, the Lessor, pursuant to which, without limiting
        the foregoing, (1) the Lessor shall be afforded the option of curing
        defaults and the option of succeeding to the rights of the Lessee, (2)
        the Lessor's security interest in Tangible Personal Property shall be
        subordinated to the security interest granted to such secured party,
        (ii) all of the terms, conditions and provisions of the purchase money
        security agreements or equipment leases evidencing the financing
        arrangement are reasonably acceptable to the Lessor,  (iii) promptly
        after the execution thereof, the Lessee provides to the Lessor true and
        complete copies, as executed, of all such purchase money security
        agreements and equipment leases (and all amendments





                                      -30-
<PAGE>   42
        thereto) and (iv) no such purchase money security interest or equipment
        lease shall be cross-defaulted or cross- collateralized with any other
        obligation.  Security interests granted by the Lessee in full
        compliance with the provisions of this Section 6.1.2 are referred to as
        "Permitted Prior Security Interests".

        6.2     GUARANTY.  All of the Lease Obligations shall be
unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by the Guarantor pursuant to the
Guaranty

        6.3     CASH COLLATERAL.  If Lessor shall receive a Non-Renewal Notice,
then Lessee shall deliver to Lessor, at least thirty (30) days prior to the
Expiration Date, as a replacement for the Credit Enhancement, a letter of
credit in form and substance substantially similar to the Credit Enhancement
and issued by a financial institution acceptable to Lessor.  If Lessee shall
fail to deliver such replacement letter of credit, Lessor may, at its option
(and without the benefit of any additional grace, notice or cure periods), draw
on the Credit Enhancement up to the Stated Amount and hold all amounts so
received as cash collateral for the Lease Obligations pursuant to a Deposit
Pledge Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Lessor.  Lessee shall
execute and deliver such Deposit Pledge Agreement forthwith upon Lessor's
request.   All capitalized terms used in this Section 6.3 which are not defined
in this Lease shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit
Enhancement.

                      CONDITION AND USE OF LEASED PROPERTY

        7.1     CONDITION OF THE LEASED PROPERTY.  The Lessee acknowledges that
the Lessee has caused the Leased Property to be sold to the Lessor and has
concurrently entered into this Lease.  The Lessee acknowledges receipt and
delivery of possession of the Leased Property and that the Lessee has examined
and otherwise has acquired knowledge of the condition of the Leased Property
prior to the execution and delivery of this Lease and has found the same to be
in good order and repair and satisfactory for its purposes hereunder.  The
Lessee is leasing the Leased Property "AS-IS" in its present condition.  The
Lessee waives any claim or action against the Lessor in respect of the
condition of the Leased Property.  THE LESSOR MAKES NO WARRANTY OR
REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE LEASED PROPERTY, EITHER
AS TO ITS FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE, ITS DESIGN OR CONDITION OR
OTHERWISE, OR AS TO DEFECTS IN THE QUALITY OF THE MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP
THEREIN, LATENT OR PATENT; IT BEING AGREED THAT ALL RISKS RELATING TO THE
DESIGN, CONDITION AND/OR USE OF THE LEASED PROPERTY ARE TO BE BORNE BY THE
LESSEE.  THE LESSEE HEREBY ASSUMES ALL RISK OF THE PHYSICAL CONDITION OF THE
LEASED PROPERTY, THE SUITABILITY OF THE LEASED PROPERTY FOR THE LESSEE'S
PURPOSES, AND THE COMPLIANCE OR NON-COMPLIANCE OF THE LEASED





                                      -31-
<PAGE>   43
PROPERTY WITH ALL APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS OF LAW, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS AND ZONING OR LAND USE LAWS.

        Upon the request of the Lessor, upon reasonable cause, at any time and
from time to time during the Term, the Lessee shall engage one (1) or more
independent professional consultants, engineers and inspectors, qualified to do
business in the State and acceptable to the Lessor to perform any environmental
and/or structural investigations and/or other inspections of the Leased
Property and the Facility as the Lessor may reasonably request in order to
detect (a) any structural deficiencies in the Leased Improvements or the
utilities servicing the Leased Property or (b) the presence of any condition
that (i) may be harmful or present a health hazard to the residents and other
occupants of the Leased Property or (ii) constitutes a breach or violation of
any of the Lease Documents.  In the event that the Lessor reasonably determines
that the results of such testing or inspections are unsatisfactory, within
thirty (30) days of notice from the Lessor, the Lessee shall commence such
appropriate remedial actions as may be reasonably requested by the Lessor to
correct such unsatisfactory conditions and, thereafter, shall diligently and
continuously prosecute such remedial actions to completion within the time
limits prescribed in this Lease or the other Lease Documents.

        7.2     USE OF THE LEASED PROPERTY; COMPLIANCE; MANAGEMENT.

                7.2.1     OBLIGATION TO OPERATE. The Lessee shall continuously
        operate the Leased Property in accordance with the Primary Intended Use
        and maintain its qualifications for licensure and accreditation, if
        any, as required by all applicable Legal Requirements and Insurance
        Requirements.

                7.2.2     PERMITTED USES.  During the entire Term, the Lessee
        shall use the Leased Property, or permit the Leased Property to be
        used, only for the Primary Intended Use. The Lessee shall not use the
        Leased Property or permit the Leased Property to be used for any other
        use without the prior written consent of the Lessor, which consent may
        be withheld in the Lessor's sole and absolute discretion.

                7.2.3     COMPLIANCE WITH INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS.  No use shall
        be made or permitted to be made of the Leased Property and no acts
        shall be done which will cause the cancellation of any insurance policy
        covering the Leased Property, nor shall the Lessee or any other Person
        sell or otherwise provide to any residents, other occupants or invitees
        therein, or permit to be kept, used or sold in or about the Leased
        Property, any article which may be prohibited by any Legal Requirement
        or by any of the Insurance Requirements.  Furthermore, the Lessee
        shall, at its sole cost and expense, take whatever other actions that
        may be necessary to comply with and to insure that the Leased Property
        complies with all Insurance Requirements.

<PAGE>   44
                7.2.4     NO WASTE.  The Lessee shall not commit or suffer to
        be committed any waste on, in or under the Leased Property, nor shall
        the Lessee cause or permit any nuisance thereon.

                7.2.5     NO IMPAIRMENT.  The Lessee shall neither suffer nor
        permit the Leased Property to be used in such a manner as (a) might
        reasonably tend to impair the Lessor's title thereto or (b) may
        reasonably make possible a claim or claims of adverse usage or adverse
        possession by the public or of implied dedication of the Leased
        Property.

                7.2.6     NO LIENS.  Except as permitted pursuant to Section
        6.1.2, the Lessee shall not permit or suffer any Lien to exist on the
        Tangible Personal Property and shall in no event cause, permit or
        suffer any Lien to exist with respect to the Leased Property other than
        as set forth in Section 11.5.2.

        7.3     COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL REQUIREMENTS.  The Lessee covenants and
agrees that the Leased Property shall not be used for any unlawful purpose and
that the Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall promptly (a) comply with,
and shall cause every other member of the Leasing Group to comply with, all
Legal Requirements relating to the use, operation, maintenance, repair and
restoration of the Leased Property, whether or not compliance therewith shall
require structural change in any of the Leased Property or interfere with the
use and enjoyment of the Leased Property and (b) procure, maintain and comply
with (in all material respects), and shall cause every other member of the
Leasing Group to procure, maintain and comply with (in all material respects),
all Contracts and Permits necessary or desirable in order to operate the Leased
Property for the Primary Intended Use, and for compliance with all of the terms
and conditions of this Lease.  Unless a Lease Default has occurred or any event
has occurred which, with the passage of time and/or the giving of notice would
constitute a Lease Default, the Lessee may, upon prior written notice to the
Lessor, contest any Legal Requirement to the extent permitted by, and in
accordance with, Article 15.

        7.4     MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS.     The Lessee has not entered into and
shall not enter into any Management Agreement without the prior written
approval of the Lessor.

        8.1     MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR.

                8.1.1  LESSEE'S RESPONSIBILITY.  The Lessee, at its sole cost
        and expense, shall keep the Leased Property and all private roadways,
        sidewalks and curbs appurtenant thereto which are under the Lessee's
        control in good order and repair (whether or not the need for such
        repairs occurs as a result of the Lessee's use, any prior use, the
        elements or

        the age of the Leased Property or such private roadways, sidewalks and
        curbs or any other cause whatsoever) and, subject to Articles 9, 13 and
        14, the Lessee shall promptly, with the exercise of all reasonable
        efforts, undertake and diligently complete all necessary and
        appropriate repairs, replacements, renovations, restorations,
        alterations and modifications thereof of every kind and nature, whether
        interior or exterior, structural or non-structural, ordinary or
        extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen or arising by reason of a
        condition (concealed or otherwise) existing prior to the commencement
        of, or during, the Term and thereafter until the Lessee surrenders the
        Leased Property in the manner required by this Lease.  In addition, the
        Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall make all repairs,
        modifications, replacements, renovations and alterations of the Leased
        Property (and such private roadways, sidewalks and curbs) that are
        necessary to comply with all applicable Legal Requirements and
        Insurance Requirements so that the Leased Property can be legally
        operated for the Primary Intended Use.  All repairs, replacements,
        renovations, alterations, and modifications required by the terms of
        this Section 8.1 shall be (a) performed in a good and workmanlike
        manner in compliance with all Legal Requirements, Insurance
        Requirements and the requirements of Article 9 hereof, using new
        materials well suited for their intended purpose and (b) consistent
        with the operation of the Leased Property in a first class manner.  The
        Lessee will not take or omit to take any action the taking or omission
        of which might materially impair the value or the usefulness of the
        Leased Property for the Primary Intended Use.  To the extent that any
        of the repairs, replacements, renovations, alterations or modifications
        required by the terms of this Section 8.1 constitute Material
        Structural Work, the Lessee shall obtain the Lessor's prior written
        approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) of the
        specific repairs, replacements, renovations, alterations and
        modifications to be performed by or on behalf of the Lessee in
        connection with such Material Structural Work.  Notwithstanding the
        foregoing, in the event of a bona fide emergency during which the
        Lessee is unable to contact the appropriate representatives of the
        Lessor, the Lessee may commence such Material Structural Work as may be
        necessary in order to address such emergency without the Lessor's prior
        approval, provided, however, that the Lessee shall immediately
        thereafter advise the Lessor of such emergency and the nature and scope
        of the Material Structural Work commenced and shall obtain the Lessor's
        approval of the remaining Material Structural Work to be completed.

                8.1.2  NO LESSOR OBLIGATION.  The Lessor shall not, under any
        circumstances, be required to build or rebuild any improvements on the
        Leased Property (or any private roadways, sidewalks or curbs
        appurtenant thereto), or to make any repairs, replacements,
        renovations, alterations, restorations, modifications, or renewals of
        any nature or description to the Leased Property (or any private
        roadways, sidewalks or curbs appurtenant thereto), whether ordinary or
        extraordinary, structural or non-structural, foreseen or unforeseen, or
        to make any expenditure whatsoever with respect thereto in connection
        with this Lease, or to maintain the Leased Property (or any private
        roadways, sidewalks or curbs appurtenant thereto) in any way.

                8.1.3  LESSEE MAY NOT OBLIGATE LESSOR.  Nothing contained
        herein nor any action or inaction by the Lessor shall be construed as
        (a) constituting the consent or request of the Lessor, express or
        implied, to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer, materialman or
        vendor to or for the performance of any labor or services for any
        construction, alteration, addition, repair or demolition of or to the
        Leased Property or (b) giving the Lessee any right, power or permission
        to contract for or permit the performance of any labor or services or
        the furnishing of any materials or other property in such fashion as
        would permit the making of any claim against the Lessor for the payment
        thereof or to make any agreement that may create, or in any way be the
        basis for, any right, title or interest in, or Lien or claim against,
        the estate of the Lessor in the Leased Property.  Without limiting the
        generality of the foregoing, the right title and interest of the Lessor
        in and to the Leased Property shall not be subject to liens or
        encumbrances for the performance of any labor or services or the
        furnishing of any materials or other property furnished to the Leased
        Property at or by the request of the Lessee or any other Person other
        than the Lessor.  The Lessee shall notify any contractor,
        subcontractor, laborer, materialman or vendor providing any labor,
        services or materials to the Leased Property of this provision.

        8.2     ENCROACHMENTS; TITLE RESTRICTIONS.  If any of the Leased
Improvements shall, at any time, encroach upon any property, street or
right-of-way adjacent to the Leased Property, or shall violate the agreements
or conditions contained in any lawful restrictive covenant or other Lien now or
hereafter affecting the Leased Property, or shall impair the rights of others
under any easement, right-of-way or other Lien to which the Leased Property is
now or hereafter subject, then promptly upon the request of the Lessor, the
Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense, subject to the Lessee's right to
contest the existence of any encroachment, violation or impairment as set forth
in Article 15, (a) obtain valid and effective waivers or settlements of all
claims, liabilities and damages resulting from each such encroachment,
violation or impairment or (b) make such alterations to the Leased
Improvements, and take such other actions, as the Lessee in the good faith
exercise of its judgment deems reasonably practicable, to remove such
encroachment, or to end such violation or impairment, including, if necessary,
the alteration of any of the Leased Improvements.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Lessee shall, in any event, take all such actions as may be
reasonably necessary in order to be able to continue the operation of the
Leased Improvements for the Primary Intended Use substantially in the manner
and to the extent that the Leased Improvements were operated prior to the
assertion of such encroachment, violation or impairment and nothing contained
herein shall limit the Lessee's obligations to operate the Leased Property in
accordance with its Primary Intended Use.  Any such alteration made pursuant to
the terms of this Section 8.2 shall be completed in conformity with the
applicable requirements of Section 8.1 and Article 9.  The Lessee's obligations
under this Section 8.2 shall be in addition to and shall in no way discharge or
diminish any obligation of any insurer under any policy of title or other
insurance.

                          MATERIAL STRUCTURAL WORK AND
                               CAPITAL ADDITIONS

        9.1     LESSOR'S APPROVAL.  Without the prior written consent of the
Lessor, which consent may be withheld by the Lessor, in its sole and absolute
discretion, the Lessee shall make no Capital Addition or Material Structural
Work to the Leased Property (including, without limitation, any change in the
size or unit capacity of the Facility), except as may be otherwise expressly
required pursuant to Article 8.

        9.2     GENERAL PROVISIONS AS TO CAPITAL ADDITIONS AND CERTAIN MATERIAL
STRUCTURAL WORK.  As to any Capital Addition or Material Structural Work (other
than such Material Structural Work that is required to be performed pursuant to
the terms of Section 8.1) for which the Lessor has granted its prior written
approval, the following terms and conditions shall apply unless otherwise
expressly set forth in the Lessor's written approval.

                9.2.1     NO LIENS.  The Lessee shall not be permitted to
        create any Lien on the Leased Property in connection with any Capital
        Addition or Material Structural Work.

                9.2.2     LESSEE'S PROPOSAL REGARDING CAPITAL ADDITIONS AND
        MATERIAL STRUCTURAL WORK.  If the Lessee desires to undertake any
        Capital Addition or Material Structural Work, the Lessee shall submit
        to the Lessor in writing a proposal setting forth in reasonable detail
        any proposed Capital Addition or Material Structural Work and shall
        provide to the Lessor copies of, or information regarding, the
        applicable plans and specifications, Permits, Contracts and any other
        materials concerning the proposed Capital Addition or Material
        Structural Work, as the case may be, as the Lessor may reasonably
        request.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each such
        proposal pertaining to any Capital Addition shall indicate the
        approximate projected cost of constructing such Capital Addition, the
        use or uses to which it will be put and a good faith estimate of the
        change, if any, in the Gross Revenues that the Lessee anticipates will
        result from the construction of such Capital Addition.

                9.2.3     LESSOR'S OPTIONS REGARDING CAPITAL ADDITIONS AND
        MATERIAL STRUCTURAL WORK.  The Lessor shall have the options of:  (a)
        denying permission for the construction of the applicable Capital
        Addition or Material Structural Work, (b) offering to finance the
        construction of the Capital Addition or Material Structural Work
        pursuant to Section 9.3, (c) allowing the Lessee to pay for or
        separately finance the construction of the Capital Addition or Material
        Structural Work, subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of
        Section 9.2.1, Section 9.4, Section 13.1, all Legal Requirements and
        all other requirements of this Lease and to such other terms and
        conditions as the Lessor may in its reasonable discretion impose or (d)
        any combination of the foregoing.  Unless the Lessor notifies the
        Lessee in writing of a contrary election within forty-five (45) days of





                                      -36-
<PAGE>   48
        the Lessee's request, the Lessor shall be deemed to have denied the
        request for the Capital Addition or Material Structural Work.

                9.2.4     LESSOR MAY ELECT TO FINANCE CAPITAL ADDITIONS OR
        MATERIAL STRUCTURAL WORK.  If the Lessor elects to offer financing for
        the proposed Capital Addition or Material Structural Work, the
        provisions of Section 9.3 shall apply.

        9.3     CAPITAL ADDITIONS AND MATERIAL STRUCTURAL WORK FINANCED BY
LESSOR.

                9.3.1     LESSEE'S FINANCING REQUEST.  The Lessee may request
        that the Lessor provide or arrange financing for a Capital Addition or
        Material Structural Work by providing to the Lessor such information
        about the Capital Addition or Material Structural Work as the Lessor
        may reasonably request, including, without limitation, all information
        referred to in Section 9.2 above.  The Lessee understands, however,
        that the Lessor shall be under no obligation to agree to such request.
        Nevertheless, the Lessor shall use reasonable efforts to notify the
        Lessee, within forty-five (45) days of receipt of such information, as
        to whether the Lessor will finance the proposed Capital Addition or
        Material Structural Work and, if so, the terms and conditions upon
        which it would do so, including the terms of any amendment to this
        Lease (including, without limitation, an increase in Base Rent based on
        the Lessor's then existing terms and prevailing conditions to
        compensate the Lessor for the additional funds advanced by it).  The
        Lessee may withdraw its request by notice to the Lessor at any time
        before such time as the Lessee accepts the Lessor's terms and
        conditions.  All advances of funds for any such financing shall be made
        in accordance with the Lessor's then standard construction loan
        requirements and procedures, which may include, without limitation, the
        requirements and procedures applicable to Work under Section 13.1.

                9.3.2     LESSOR'S GENERAL REQUIREMENTS.  If the Lessor agrees
        to finance the proposed Capital Addition or Material Structural Work
        and the Lessee accepts the Lessor's proposal therefor, in addition to
        all other items which the Lessor or any applicable Financing Party may
        reasonably require, the Lessee shall provide to the Lessor the
        following:

                          (a)     prior to any advance of funds, (i) any
                information, opinions, certificates, Permits or documents
                reasonably requested by the Lessor or any applicable Financing
                Party which are necessary to confirm that the Lessee will be
                able to use the Capital Addition upon the completion thereof or
                the applicable portion of the Facility upon the completion of
                the Material Structural Work in accordance with the Primary
                Intended Use; provided, that, the Lessee shall be required to
                provide the opinions referred to above in this clause (i) only
                if the cost of such Capital Addition or Material Structural
                Work will equal or exceed Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
                ($250,000) and (ii) evidence satisfactory to the Lessor and any
                applicable Financing Party that all Permits required for the

                portion of the Facility have been obtained, are in full force
                and effect and are not subject to appeal, except only for those
                Permits which cannot in the normal course be obtained prior to
                commencement or completion of the construction; provided, that
                the Lessor and any applicable Financing Party are furnished
                with reasonable evidence that the same will be available in the
                normal course of business without unusual condition;

                          (b)     prior to any advance of funds, an Officer's
                Certificate and, if requested, a certificate from the Lessee's
                architect, setting forth in reasonable detail the projected (or
                actual, if available) Capital Addition Cost or the cost of the
                Material Structural Work;

                          (c)     bills of sale, instruments of transfer and
                other documents required by the Lessor so as to vest title to

                this Lease and any recorded notice or memorandum thereof, duly
                executed and acknowledged, in form and substance reasonably
                satisfactory to the Lessor, providing for any changes required
                by the Lessor including, without limitation, changes in the
                Base Rent and the legal description of the Land;

                          (d)     upon payment therefor, a deed conveying to
                the Lessor title to any land acquired for the purpose of
                constructing the Capital Addition or the applicable Material
                Structural Work ("Additional Land") free and clear of any Liens
                except those approved by the Lessor;

                          (e)     upon completion of the Capital Addition or
                the Material Structural Work, a final as-built survey thereof
                reasonably satisfactory to the Lessor, if required by the
                Lessor;

                Structural Work, endorsements to any outstanding policy of
                title insurance covering the Leased Property satisfactory in
                form and substance to the Lessor and any Financing Party (i)
                updating the same without any additional exception except as
                may be reasonably permitted by the Lessor, (ii) if applicable,

                title insurance policy and (iii) increasing the coverage

                Addition or the Fair Market Value of the Material Structural
                Work (except to the extent covered by the owner's policy of
                title insurance referred to in subparagraph (g) below);

                Addition or the Material Structural Work, if reasonably deemed
                necessary by the Lessor, an appraisal of the Leased Property by

                the Capital Addition or the Material Structural Work exceeds
                the Fair Market Value of the Leased Property prior to the
                commencement of the construction of such Capital Addition or
                Material Structural Work by an amount not less than one hundred
                percent (100%) of the Capital Addition Cost or the cost of the

                documents and instruments as may be reasonably required by the
                Lessor and any applicable Financing Party.

                9.3.3     PAYMENT OF COSTS.  By virtue of making a request to
        finance a Capital Addition or any Material Structural Work, whether or
        not such financing is actually consummated, the Lessee shall be deemed
        to have agreed to pay, upon demand, all costs and expenses reasonably
        incurred by the Lessor and any Person participating with the Lessor in
        any way in the financing of the Capital Addition or Material Structural
        Work, including, but not limited to (a) fees and expenses of their

        9.4     GENERAL LIMITATIONS.  Without in any way limiting the Lessor's
options with respect to proposed Capital Additions or Material Structural Work:
(a) no Capital Addition or Material Structural Work shall be completed that
could, upon completion, significantly alter the character or purpose or detract
from the value or operating efficiency of the Leased Property, or significantly
impair the revenue-producing capability of the Leased Property, or adversely
affect the ability of the Lessee to comply with the terms of this Lease, (b) no
Capital Addition or





                                      -39-
<PAGE>   51
Material Structural Work shall be completed which would tie in or connect any
Leased Improvements on the Leased Property with any other improvements on
property adjacent to the Leased Property (and not part of the Land covered by
this Lease) including, without limitation, tie-ins of buildings or other
structures or utilities, unless the Lessee shall have obtained the prior
written approval of the Lessor, which approval may be withheld in the Lessor's
sole and absolute discretion and (c) all proposed Capital Additions and
Material Structural Work shall be architecturally integrated and consistent
with the Leased Property.

        9.5     NON-CAPITAL ADDITIONS.  The Lessee shall have the obligation
and right to make repairs, replacements and alterations which are not Capital
Additions as required by the other Sections of this Lease, but in so doing, the
Lessee shall always comply with and satisfy the conditions of Section 9.4,
mutatis, mutandis.  The Lessee shall have the right, from time to time, to make
additions, modifications or improvements to the Leased Property which do not
constitute Capital Additions or Material Structural Work as it may deem to be
desirable or necessary for its uses and purposes, subject to the same limits
and conditions imposed under Section 9.4.  The cost of any such repair,
replacement, alteration, addition, modification or improvement shall be paid by
the Lessee and the results thereof shall be included under the terms of this
Lease and become a part of the Leased Property, without payment therefor by the
Lessor at any time.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, all such additions,
modifications and improvements which affect the structure of any of the Leased
Improvements, or which involve the expenditure of more than ONE HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS ($100,000.00), shall be undertaken only upon compliance with
the provisions of Section 13.1, all Legal Requirements and all other applicable
requirements of this Lease; provided, however, that in the event of a bona fide
emergency during which the Lessee is unable to contact the appropriate
representatives of the Lessor, the Lessee may commence such additions,
modifications and improvements as may be necessary in order to address such
emergency without the Lessor's prior approval, as long as the Lessee
immediately thereafter advises the Lessor of such emergency and the nature and
scope of the additions, modifications and improvements performed and obtains
the Lessor's approval of the remaining work to be completed.


                                   ARTICLE 10

                         WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS

        10.1    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.  The Lessee hereby represents
and warrants to, and covenants and agrees with, the Lessor that:

                10.1.1    EXISTENCE; POWER; QUALIFICATION.  The Lessee is a
        corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under
        the laws of the State of California.  The Lessee has all requisite

                                      -40-
<PAGE>   52
        necessary or desirable in order to carry out its business as presently
        conducted and as proposed to be conducted.  As of the date of this
        Agreement, the Lessee does not have any Subsidiaries and the Lessee is
        not a member of any partnership or joint venture.  Attached hereto as
        EXHIBIT F is a true and correct list of all of the shareholders of the
        Lessee and their respective ownership interests in the Lessee;

                10.1.2    VALID AND BINDING.  The Lessee is duly authorized to
        make and enter into all of the Lease Documents to which the Lessee is a
        party and to carry out the transactions contemplated therein.  All of
        the Lease Documents to which the Lessee is a party have been duly
        executed and delivered by the Lessee, and each is a legal, valid and
        binding obligation of the Lessee, enforceable in accordance with its
        terms.

                10.1.3    SINGLE PURPOSE.  The Lessee is, and during the entire
        time that this Lease remains in force and effect the Lessee shall be,
        engaged in no business, trade or activity other than the operation of
        the Leased Property for the Primary Intended Use and development,
        ownership and/or operation of any other health care facility owned or
        financed by any Meditrust Entity.  The fiscal year of the Lessee and
        the Guarantor is the Fiscal Year.

                10.1.4    NO VIOLATION.  Except as set forth on Schedule 10.1.4
        hereto, the execution, delivery and performance of the Lease Documents
        and the consummation of the transactions thereby contemplated shall not
        result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in
        the acceleration of, or constitute an event which, with the giving of
        notice or the passage of time, or both, could result in default or
        acceleration of any obligation of any member of the Leasing Group under
        any of the Permits or Contracts or any other contract, mortgage, lien,
        lease, agreement, instrument, franchise, arbitration award, judgment,
        decree, bank loan or credit agreement, trust indenture or other
        instrument to which any member of the Leasing Group is a party or by
        which any member of the Leasing Group or the Leased Property may be
        bound or affected and do not violate or contravene any Legal
        Requirement.

                10.1.5    CONSENTS AND APPROVALS.  Except as already obtained
        or filed, as the case may be, no consent or approval or other
        authorization of, or exemption by, or declaration or filing with, any
        Person and no waiver of any right by any Person is required to
        authorize or permit, or is otherwise required as a condition of the
        execution and delivery of any of the Lease Documents by any member of
        the Leasing Group and the performance of such member's obligations
        thereunder or as a condition to the validity (assuming the due
        authorization, execution and delivery by the Lessor of the Lease
        Documents to which it is a party) and the first priority of any Liens
        granted under the Lease Documents, except the filing of the Financing
        Statements.

                10.1.6    NO LIENS OR INSOLVENCY PROCEEDINGS.  Each member of
        the Leasing Group is financially solvent and, except as set forth on
        Schedule 10.1.6 hereto, there are





                                      -41-
<PAGE>   53
        no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings including, without
        limitation, outstanding federal or state tax liens, garnishments or
        insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, pending or, to the best of the
        Lessee's knowledge and belief, threatened:

                          (a)     against or affecting any member of the
                Leasing Group, which if adversely resolved to such member of
                the Leasing Group, would materially adversely affect the
                ability of any of the foregoing to perform their respective
                obligations under the Lease Documents;

                          (b)     against or affecting the Leased Property or
                the ownership, construction, development, maintenance,
                management, repair, use, occupancy, possession or  operation
                thereof; or

                          (c)     which may involve or affect the validity,
                priority or enforceability of any of the Lease Documents, at
                law or in equity, or before or by any arbitrator or
                Governmental Authority.

                10.1.7    NO BURDENSOME AGREEMENTS.  No member of the Leasing
        Group is a party to any agreement the terms of which now have, or, as
        far as can be reasonably foreseen, may have, a material adverse affect
        on its respective financial condition or business or on the operation
        of the Leased Property for its Primary Intended Use.

                10.1.8    COMMERCIAL ACTS.  The Lessee's performance of and
        compliance with the obligations and conditions set forth herein and in
        the other Lease Documents will constitute commercial acts done and
        performed for commercial purposes.

                10.1.9    ADEQUATE CAPITAL, NOT INSOLVENT.  After giving effect
        to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Lease
        Documents, each member of the Leasing Group:

                          (a)     will be able to pay its debts as they become
                due;

                          (b)     will have sufficient funds and capital to
                carry on its business as now conducted or as contemplated to be
                conducted (in accordance with the terms of the Lease
                Documents);

                          (c)     will own property having a value both at fair
                valuation and at present fair saleable value greater than the
                amount required to pay its debts as they become due; and

                          (d)     will not be rendered insolvent as determined
                by applicable law.

<PAGE>   54
                 10.1.10  NOT DELINQUENT.  Except as set forth on Schedule
         10.1.10 hereto, no member of the Leasing Group is delinquent or
         claimed to be delinquent under any obligation for the payment of
         borrowed money.

                 10.1.11  NO AFFILIATE DEBT.  The Lessee has not created,
         incurred, guaranteed, endorsed, assumed or suffered to exist any
         liability (whether direct or contingent) for borrowed money from the
         Guarantor (or any of its Affiliates) or any Affiliate of the Lessee
         that is not fully subordinated to the Lease Obligations pursuant to
         the Affiliated Party Subordination Agreement.

                 10.1.12  TAXES CURRENT.  Each member of the Leasing Group has
         filed all federal, state and local tax returns which are required to
         be filed as to which extensions are not currently in effect and have
         paid all taxes, assessments, impositions, fees and other governmental
         charges (including interest and penalties) which have become due
         pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessment or notice of
         tax claim or deficiency received by each such member of the Leasing
         Group.  No tax liability has been asserted by the Internal Revenue
         Service against any member of the Leasing Group or any other federal,
         state or local taxing authority for taxes, assessments, impositions,
         fees or other governmental charges (including interest or penalties
         thereon) in excess of those already paid.

                 10.1.13  FINANCIALS COMPLETE AND ACCURATE.  The financial
         statements of each member of the Leasing Group given to the Lessor in
         connection with the execution and delivery of the Lease Documents were
         true, complete and accurate, in all material respects, and fairly
         presented the financial condition of each such member of the Leasing
         Group as of the date thereof and for the periods covered thereby,
         having been prepared in accordance with GAAP and such financial
         statements disclosed all liabilities, including, without limitation,
         contingent liabilities, of each such member of the Leasing Group.
         There has been no material adverse change since such date with respect
         to the Tangible Net Worth of any member of the Leasing Group or with
         respect to any other matters contained in such financial statements,
         nor have any additional material liabilities, including, without
         limitation, contingent liabilities, of any member of the Leasing Group
         arisen or been incurred or asserted since such date.  The projections
         heretofore delivered to the Lessor continue to be reasonable (with
         respect to the material assumptions upon which such projections are
         based) and the Lessee reasonably anticipates the results projected
         therein will be achieved, there having been (a) no material adverse
         change in the business, assets or condition, financial or otherwise of
         any member of the Leasing Group  or the Leased Property and (b) no
         material depletion of the cash or decrease in working capital of any
         member of the Leasing Group.

                 10.1.14  PENDING ACTIONS, NOTICES AND REPORTS.

                 (a)      There is no action or investigation pending or, to
         the best knowledge and belief of the Lessee, threatened, anticipated
         or contemplated (nor, to the knowledge of the Lessee, is there any
         reasonable basis therefor) against or affecting the Leased Property or
         any member of the Leasing Group (or any Affiliate thereof) before any
         Governmental Authority, Accreditation Body or Third Party Payor which
         could prevent or hinder the consummation of the transactions
         contemplated hereby or call into question the validity of any of the
         Lease Documents or any action taken or to be taken in connection with
         the transactions contemplated thereunder or which in any single case
         or in the aggregate might result in any material adverse change in the
         business, prospects, condition, affairs or operations of any member of
         the Leasing Group or the Leased Property (including, without
         limitation, any action to revoke, withdraw or suspend any Permit
         necessary or desirable for the operation of the Leased Property in
         accordance with its Primary Intended Use and any action to transfer or
         relocate any such Permit to a location other than the Leased Property)
         or any material impairment of the right or ability of any member of
         the Leasing Group to carry on its operations as presently conducted or
         proposed to be conducted or which may materially adversely impact
         reimbursement to any member of the Leasing Group for services rendered
         to beneficiaries of Third Party Payor Programs.

                 (b)      Except as set forth on Schedule 10.1.14 hereto,
         neither the Facility nor any member of the Leasing Group has received
         any notice of any claim, requirement or demand of any Governmental
         Authority, Accreditation Body, Third Party Payor or any insurance body
         having or claiming any licensing, certifying, supervising, evaluating
         or accrediting authority over the Leased Property to rework or
         redesign the Leased Property, its professional staff or its
         professional services, procedures or practices in any material respect
         or to provide additional furniture, fixtures, equipment or inventory
         or to otherwise take action so as to make the Leased Property conform
         to or comply with any Legal Requirement;

                 (c)      The most recent utilization reviews, if any,
         relating to the Leased Property by all applicable Third Party Payors,
         Accreditation Bodies, if any, and Governmental Authorities and reviews
         or scrutiny, if any, by any managed care or utilization review
         companies have not had a material adverse impact on the utilization of
         units or programs at any of the Leased Property.  No claims or
         assertions have been made in any utilization review that any of the
         practices or procedures used at the Leased Property are improper or
         inappropriate other than such claims or assertions which singly and in
         the aggregate will not have a material adverse impact on the Leased
         Property; and

                 (d)       The Lessee has delivered or caused to be delivered
         to the Lessor true and correct copies of all licenses, inspection
         surveys and accreditation reviews, if any, relating to the Leased
         Property, issued by any Governmental Authority or Accreditation Body,
         if





                                      -44-
<PAGE>   56
         any,  during the most recent licensing period, together with all plans
         of correction relating thereto.

                 10.1.15  COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL AND OTHER REQUIREMENTS.

                 (a)      The Lessee and the Leased Property and the ownership,
         construction, development, maintenance, management, repair, use,
         occupancy, possession and operation thereof comply with all applicable
         Legal Requirements and there is no claim of any violation thereof
         known to the Lessee.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Lessee is,
         or as soon as it is able to do so pursuant to applicable Legal
         Requirements, will be the licensed operator of the Facility, the
         Lessee has obtained all Permits that are necessary or desirable to
         operate the Leased Property in accordance with its Primary Intended
         Use and all such Permits are in full force and effect.

                 (b)      Except as previously delivered to the Lessor pursuant
         to Section 10.1.14(d) hereof, there are no outstanding notices of
         deficiencies, notices of proposed action or orders of any kind
         relating to the Leased Property issued by any Governmental Authority,
         Accreditation Body or Third Party Payor requiring conformity to any of
         the Legal Requirements.

                 (c)      The Facility is not subject to any voluntary or
         mandatory accreditation requirements or review by any Accreditation
         Body as of the date hereof.  If, however, the Facility shall in the
         future become subject to such voluntary or mandatory accreditation
         requirements or review, Lessee covenants that there shall be no
         deficiencies in either the Leased Property or any services provided at
         the Facility that would prevent the extension of any such
         accreditation of the Facility by any applicable Accreditation Body
         upon the initial, and any subsequent, inspections or review of the
         Facility.

                 10.1.16  NO ACTION BY GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY.  There is no
         action pending or, to the best knowledge and belief of the Lessee,
         recommended, by any Governmental Authority or Accreditation Body, if
         any, to revoke, repeal, cancel, modify, withdraw or suspend any Permit
         or Contract or to take any other action of any other type which could
         have a material adverse effect on the Leased Property.

                 10.1.17  PROPERTY MATTERS.

                 (a)      The Leased Property is free and clear of agreements,
         covenants and Liens, except those agreements, covenants and Liens to
         which this Lease is expressly subject, whether presently existing, as
         are listed on EXHIBIT B or were listed on the UCC lien search results
         delivered to the Lessor at or prior to the execution and delivery of
         this Lease (and were not required to be terminated as a condition of
         the execution and delivery of this Lease), or which may hereafter be
         created in accordance with the terms hereof (collectively referred to
         herein as the "Permitted Encumbrances"); and the Lessee





                                      -45-
<PAGE>   57
         shall warrant and defend the Lessor's title to the Leased Property
         against any and all claims and demands of every kind and nature
         whatsoever;

                 (b)      There is no Condemnation or similar proceeding
         pending with respect to or affecting the Leased Property, and the
         Lessee is not aware, to the best of the Lessee's knowledge and belief,
         that any such proceeding is contemplated;

                 (c)      No part of the Collateral or the Leased Property has

         excepted, free from known defects in construction or design;

                 (d)      None of the Permitted Encumbrances has or is likely
         to have a material adverse impact upon, nor interfere with or impede,
         in any material respect, the operation of the Leased Property in
         accordance with the Primary Intended Use;

                 (e)      All buildings, facilities and other improvements
         necessary, both legally and practically, for the proper and efficient
         operation of the Facility are located upon the Leased Property and all
         real property and personal property currently utilized by the Lessee
         is included within the definition of the Leased Property or the
         Collateral;

                 (f)      The Leased Property abuts on and has direct vehicular
         access to a public road or access to a public road via permanent,
         irrevocable, appurtenant easements;

                 (g)      The Leased Property constitutes a separate parcel for
         real estate tax purposes and no portion of any real property that does
         not constitute a portion of the Leased Property is part of the same
         tax parcel as any part of the Leased Property;

                 (h)      All utilities necessary for the use and operation of
         the Facility are available to the lot lines of the Leased Property:

                      (i)     in sufficient supply and capacity;

                      (ii)    through validly created and existing easements of
                 record appurtenant to or encumbering the Leased Property
                 (which easements shall not impede or restrict the operation of
                 the Facility); and

                    (iii)     without need for any Permits and/or Contracts to
                 be issued by or entered into with any Governmental Authority,
                 except as already obtained or executed, as the case may be, or
                 as otherwise shown to the satisfaction of the Lessor to be
                 readily obtainable; and





                                      -46-
<PAGE>   58
                 (i)      The Lessee has made no structural alterations or

         Improvements or any such decrease in parking during such period.

                 10.1.18  THIRD PARTY PAYOR AGREEMENTS.

                 (a)      The Lessee or the Facility is fully qualified as a

         the Facility agrees to provide services based on a discount factor
         from the rates regularly charged for services rendered by the Lessee
         or the Facility.

                 (c)      No member of the Leasing Group, nor the Facility has
         any rate appeal currently pending before any Governmental Authority or
         any administrator of any Third Party Payor Program or any other
         referral source other than such appeals which, if determined adversely
         to any member of the Leasing Group or the Facility would not have a
         materially adverse effect, either singly or in the aggregate, on the
         financial condition of any member of the Leasing Group or the
         Facility.

                 (d)      All cost reports and financial reports submitted to
         any Third Party Payor with respect to the Facility by any member of
         the Leasing Group have been materially accurate and complete and have
         not been misleading in any material respect.  As a result of any
         audits by any Third Party Payor, there are no related recoupment
         claims made or contests pending or threatened other than such
         recoupment claims or contests which, if determined adversely to any
         member of the Leasing Group or the Facility, would not have a
         materially adverse effect, either singly or in the aggregate, on the
         financial condition of any member of the Leasing Group or the
         Facility.  As of the date hereof, no cost reports for the Facility
         remain open or unsettled other than those listed on EXHIBIT H.

         no Governmental Authority currently imposes any restrictions or

         receiving services at the Facility.

                 10.1.20  FREE CARE.  Except as disclosed on EXHIBIT J, there

         amount of welfare, free or charity care or discounted or government
         assisted resident care.

                 10.1.21  NO PROPOSED CHANGES.  The Lessee has no actual
         knowledge of any Legal Requirements which have been enacted,
         promulgated or issued within the eighteen (18) months preceding the

         pending in the State which may materially adversely affect rates at
         the Facility (or any program operated in conjunction with the
         Facility) or may result in the likelihood of increased competition at
         the Facility or the imposition of Medicaid, Medicare, charity, free
         care, welfare or other discounted or government assisted residents at
         the Facility or require that the Lessee or the Facility obtain a
         certificate of need, Section 1122 approval or the equivalent, which

         Leasing Group have any material liability to the PBGC established
         under ERISA (or any successor thereto) in connection with any employee
         pension benefit plan (or other class of benefit which the PBGC has
         elected to insure), and there have been no "reportable events" (not
         waived) or "prohibited transactions" with respect to any such plan, as
         those terms are defined in Section 4043 of ERISA and Section 4975 of

                its funds or property to or for the private use of any
                government official, employee, agent or other Person where

                or gifts is illegal under the laws of the United States, any
                state thereof or any other jurisdiction (foreign or domestic);

                          (b)     established or maintained any unrecorded fund

                          (c)     made any payments to any Person with the
                intention or understanding that any part of such payment was to
                be used for any other purpose other than that described in the
                documents supporting the payment; or

                          (d)     made any contribution, or has reimbursed any
                political gift or contribution made by any other Person, to
                candidates for public office, whether federal, state or local,
                where such contribution would be in violation of applicable
                law.

                 10.1.25  NOTHING OMITTED.  Neither this Lease, nor any of the
         other Lease Documents, nor any certificate, agreement, statement or
         other document, including, without limitation, any financial
         statements concerning the financial condition of any member of the
         Leasing Group, furnished to or to be furnished to the Lessor or its
         attorneys in connection with the transactions contemplated by the
         Lease Documents, contains or will contain any untrue statement of a
         material fact or omits or will omit to state a material fact necessary
         in order to prevent all statements contained herein and therein from
         being misleading.  There is no fact within the special knowledge of
         the Lessee which has not been disclosed herein or in writing to the
         Lessor that materially adversely affects, or in the future, insofar as
         the Lessee can reasonably foresee, may materially adversely affect the
         business, properties, assets or condition, financial or otherwise, of
         any member of the Leasing Group or the Leased Property.

                 10.1.26  NO MARGIN SECURITY.  The Lessee is not engaged in the
         business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying
         margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of
         Governors of the Federal Reserve System), and no part of the proceeds
         of the Meditrust Investment will be used to purchase or carry any
         margin security or to extend credit to others for the purpose of
         purchasing or carrying any margin security or in any other manner
         which would involve a violation of any of the regulations of the Board
         of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.  The Lessee is not an
         "investment company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act
         of 1940, as amended.

                 10.1.27  NO DEFAULT.  No event or state of facts which
         constitutes, or which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, could
         constitute, a Lease Default has occurred and is continuing.

         business and chief executive office of the Lessee is located at 245
         Fisher Avenue, D-1, Costa Mesa, California (the "Principal Place of

         any labor organization.

                 10.1.30  INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.  The Lessee is duly licensed

                purpose other than the Primary Intended Use;

                          (c)     permit any Person other than the Lessee to be
                the Licensed Operator of the Facility. except as provided in

                with any other Person.

                 11.5.2   NO LIENS.  The Lessee will not directly or indirectly
         create or allow to remain and will promptly discharge at its expense
         any Lien, title retention agreement or claim upon or against the

         of, and pursuant to the reasonable requirements of, the Lessee's

         subsequent owner or subsequent the Lessee of the Leased Property (the
         "Purchaser") would cause irreparable harm to the Lessor and any such
         Purchaser.  To induce the Lessor to enter into this Lease, the Lessee
         agrees that:

         (a)     from and after the date hereof and thereafter until the first
                 (1st) anniversary of the expiration or termination hereof, no
                 member of the Leasing Group nor any Affiliate of the Leasing
                 Group (collectively, the "Limited Parties") shall be involved

                 competitive activity shall be as an officer, director, owner,
                 employee, agent, advisor, independent contractor, developer,

                 investor, partner, joint venturer, consultant or other
                 participant in any capacity whatsoever with respect to an
                 assisted living facility (or other facility operated for any
                 use included within the definition of Primary Intended Use),
                 center, unit or program located within a five (5) mile radius
                 of the Leased Property;

         (b)     (i)  on and after the date which is one (1) year prior to the
                      expiration or termination of this Lease until the first
                      (1st) anniversary of the expiration or termination of
                      this Lease, none of the Limited Parties shall, without
                      the prior written consent of Lessor, which consent may be
                      withheld in Lessor's sole discretion, hire, engage or
                      otherwise employ any management or supervisory personnel
                      working on or in connection with the Leased Property or
                      Facility, except in connection with the Facility;  and

                 (ii) from and after the date hereof until the date which is
                      one (1) year prior to the expiration or termination of
                      the Lease, none of the Limited Parties shall, except in
                      the ordinary course of business, hire, engage or
                      otherwise employ any management or supervisory personnel
                      working on or in connection with the Leased Property or
                      Facility, except in connection with the Facility;

         (c)     except as required for medically appropriate reasons, for
                 residents exhibiting behavioral problems or residents unable
                 to continue to afford to live in the Facility, during and
                 after the Term, none of the Limited Parties will recommend or
                 solicit the removal or transfer of any resident from the
                 Leased Property to any other assisted living, independent
                 living or other health care facility and, in no event, will
                 any residents covered in the exceptions enumerated in the
                 beginning of this subparagraph (c) be recommended or solicited
                 for removal or transfer to any





                                      -61-
<PAGE>   73
                 other facility owned, operated or managed by Lessee or
                 Guarantor or any Affiliate thereof or any facility in which
                 any of them has a financial interest.

                 The Lessee hereby acknowledges and agrees that none of the
         time span, scope or area covered by the foregoing restrictive
         covenants is or are unreasonable and that it is the specific intent of
         the Lessee that each and all of the restrictive covenants set forth
         hereinabove shall be valid and enforceable as specifically set forth
         herein.  The Lessee further agrees that these restrictions are
         special, unique, extraordinary and reasonably necessary for the
         protection of the Lessor and any Purchaser and that the violation of
         any such covenant by any of the Limited Parties would cause
         irreparable damage to the Lessor and any Purchaser for which a legal
         remedy alone would not be sufficient to fully protect such parties.

                 Therefore, in addition to and without limiting any other
         remedies available at law or hereunder, in the event that any of the
         Limited Parties breaches any of the restrictive covenants hereunder or
         shall threaten breach of any of such covenants, then the Lessor and
         any Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain equitable remedies,
         including specific performance and injunctive relief, to prevent or
         otherwise restrain a breach of this Section 11.5.4 (without the
         necessity of posting a bond or other security) and to recover any and
         all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees
         and expenses and court costs) reasonably incurred in enforcing the
         provisions of this Section 11.5.4.  The existence of any claim or
         cause of action of any of the Limited Parties or any member of the
         Leasing Group against the Lessor or any Purchaser, whether predicated
         on this Lease or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the
         enforcement by the Lessor or any Purchaser of the foregoing
         restrictive covenants and the Limited Parties shall not defend on the
         basis that there is an adequate remedy at law.

                 Without limiting any other provision of this Lease, the
         parties hereto acknowledge that the foregoing restrictive covenants
         are severable and separate.  If at any time any of the foregoing
         restrictive covenants shall be deemed invalid or unenforceable by a
         court having jurisdiction over this Lease, by reason of being vague or
         unreasonable as to duration, or geographic scope or scope of
         activities restricted, or for any other reason, such covenants shall
         be considered divisible as to such portion and such covenants shall be
         immediately amended and reformed to include only such covenants as are
         deemed reasonable and enforceable by the court having jurisdiction
         over this Lease to the full duration, geographic scope and scope of
         restrictive activities deemed reasonable and thus enforceable by said
         court; and the parties agree that such covenants as so amended and
         reformed, shall be valid and binding as through the invalid or
         unenforceable portion has not been included therein.

                 The provisions of this Section 11.5.4 shall survive the
         termination of the Lease and any satisfaction of the Lease Obligations
         in connection therewith or subsequent





                                      -62-
<PAGE>   74
         thereto.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any Purchaser
         may enforce the provisions of this Section 11.5.4 as a third party
         beneficiary.

                 11.5.5       NO DEFAULT.  The Lessee shall not commit any
         default or breach under any of the Lease Documents.

                 11.5.6       RESTRICTIONS RELATING TO THE GUARANTOR.  Except
         as may otherwise be expressly provided herein or in any of the other
         Lease Documents, the Guarantor shall not, without the prior written
         consent of the Lessor, in each instance, which consent may be withheld
         in the sole and absolute discretion of the Lessor, convey, assign,
         donate, sell, mortgage or pledge any real or personal property, or
         take any other action, which would in any one or more such cases, have
         a materially adverse effect upon the Tangible Net Worth or general
         financial condition of the Guarantor.

                 11.5.7       INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

                 11.5.8       ERISA.  The Lessee shall not establish any new
         pension or defined benefit plan or modify any such existing plan for
         employees subject to ERISA, which plan provides any benefits based on
         past service without the advance consent of the Lessor to the amount
         of the aggregate past service liability thereby created, which consent
         shall not be unreasonably withheld.

                 11.5.9       FORGIVENESS OF INDEBTEDNESS.  The Lessee will not
         waive any debt or claim, except in the ordinary course of its
         business.

                 11.5.10      VALUE OF ASSETS.  Except as disclosed in the
         financial statements provided to the Lessor as of the date hereof, the
         Lessee will not write up (by creating an appraisal surplus or
         otherwise) the value of any assets of the Lessee above their cost to
         the Lessee, less the depreciation regularly allowable thereon.

                 11.5.11      CHANGES IN FISCAL YEAR AND ACCOUNTING PROCEDURES.
         The Lessee shall not, without the prior written consent of the Lessor,
         in each instance, which consent may be withheld in the Lessor's
         reasonable discretion (a) change its fiscal year or capital structure
         or (b) change, alter, amend or in any manner modify, except in
         accordance with GAAP, any of its current accounting procedures related
         to the method of revenue recognition, billing procedures or
         determinations of doubtful accounts or bad debt expenses nor will the
         Lessee permit any of its Subsidiaries to change its fiscal year or
         suffer or permit any circumstance to exist in which any Subsidiary is
         not wholly-owned, directly or indirectly, by the Lessee.
         Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lessor agrees to consent to any
         change in the Lessee's fiscal year, provided that (i) the Lessee shall
         have requested such consent not less than thirty (30) days prior to
         the proposed effective date of such change and shall have promptly
         furnished to the Lessor all such financial information as the Lessor
         may have reasonably requested in order to determine the





                                      -63-
<PAGE>   75
         impact of such change on the Lessee's financial statements, (ii) no
         such change shall be permitted if its effect would be to enable the
         Lessee to satisfy any covenant contained in this Agreement which,
         absent such change, would not have been satisfied and (iii) the Lessee
         shall have entered into any amendment to this Lease which the Lessor
         shall have reasonably requested in order to maintain the intended
         effect of the covenants contained in this Lease.

                 11.5.12      CHANGES IN EXECUTIVE OFFICERS.  The Lessee shall
         not suffer or permit to exist any circumstance in which any of the
         executive officers listed on EXHIBIT L hereto ceases for any reason to
         serve as an executive officer of the Lessee, unless succeeded in such
         position within thirty (30) days by another individual reasonably
         satisfactory to the Lessor, and this provision will, in turn, become
         effective as to each such successive executive officer.

                DOLLARS ($100,000) for injury by accident, ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND
                DOLLARS ($100,000) per employee for disease and FIVE HUNDRED
                THOUSAND DOLLARS ($500,000) disease policy limit;

                          (j)     subsidence insurance (if deemed necessary by

                          (k)     such other types of insurance as the Lessor
                from time to time may reasonably require and also, as may from
                time to time be required by applicable Legal Requirements
                and/or reasonably by any Fee Mortgagee.

                12.1.2        INSURANCE COMPANY REQUIREMENTS.  All such
        insurance required by this Lease or the other Lease Documents shall be
        issued and underwritten by insurance companies licensed to do insurance
        business by, and in good standing under the laws of, the State and
        which companies have and maintain a rating of A:X or better by A.M.
        Best Co.

                12.1.3        POLICY REQUIREMENTS.  Every policy of insurance
        from time to time required under this Lease or any of the other Lease
        Documents (other than worker's compensation) shall name the Lessor as
        owner, loss payee, secured party (to the extent applicable) and
        additional named insured as its interests may appear.  If an insurance
        policy covers properties other than the Leased Property, then the
        Lessor shall be so named with respect only to the Leased Property.
        Each such policy, where applicable or appropriate, shall:

                          (a)     include an agreed amount endorsement and loss
                payee, additional named insured and secured party endorsements,
                in forms acceptable to the Lessor in its sole and absolute
                discretion;

                          (b)     include mortgagee, secured party, loss
                payable and additional named insured endorsements reasonably
                acceptable to each Fee Mortgagee;

                          (c)     provide that the coverages may not be
                canceled or materially modified except upon thirty (30) days'
                prior written notice to the Lessor and any Fee Mortgagee;

                          (d)     be payable to the Lessor and any Fee
                Mortgagee notwithstanding any defense or claim that the insurer
                may have to the payment of the same against any other Person
                holding any other interest in the Leased Property;

                          (e)     be endorsed with standard noncontributory
                clauses in favor of and in form reasonably acceptable to the
                Lessor and any Fee Mortgagee;

                          (f)     expressly waive any right of subrogation on
                the part of the insurer against the Lessor, any Fee Mortgagee
                or the Leasing Group; and

                          (g)     otherwise be in such forms as shall be
                reasonably acceptable to the Lessor.

<PAGE>   78
                12.1.4        NOTICES; CERTIFICATES AND POLICIES.  The Lessee
        shall promptly provide to the Lessor copies of any and all notices
        (including notice of non-renewal), claims and demands which the Lessee
        receives from insurers of the Leased Property.  At least ten (10) days
        prior to the expiration of any insurance policy required hereunder, the
        Lessee shall deliver to the Lessor certificates and evidence of
        insurance relating to all renewals and replacements thereof, together
        with evidence, satisfactory to the Lessor, of payment of the premiums
        thereon.  The Lessee shall deliver to the Lessor original counterparts
        or copies certified by the insurance company to be true and complete
        copies, of all insurance policies required hereunder not later than the
        earlier to occur of (a) ninety (90) days after the effective date of
        each such policy and (b) ten (10) days after receipt thereof by the
        Lessee.

                12.1.5        LESSOR'S RIGHT TO PLACE INSURANCE.  If the Lessee
        shall fail to obtain any insurance policy required hereunder by the
        Lessor, or shall fail to deliver the certificate and evidence of
        insurance relating to any such policy to the Lessor, or if any
        insurance policy required hereunder (or any part thereof) shall expire
        or be canceled or become void or voidable by reason of any breach of
        any condition thereof, or if the Lessor determines that such insurance
        coverage is unsatisfactory by reason of the failure or impairment of
        the capital of any insurance company which wrote any such policy, upon
        demand by the Lessor, the Lessee shall promptly obtain new or
        additional insurance coverage on the Leased Property, or for those
        risks required to be insured by the provisions hereof, satisfactory to
        the Lessor, and, at its option, the Lessor may obtain such insurance
        and pay the premium or premiums therefor; in which event, any amount so
        paid or advanced by the Lessor and all costs and expenses incurred in
        connection therewith (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees
        and expenses and court costs), shall be a demand obligation of the
        Lessee to the Lessor, payable as an Additional Charge.

                12.1.6        PAYMENT OF PROCEEDS.  All insurance policies
        required hereunder (except for general public liability, professional
        liability and workers' compensation and employers liability insurance)
        shall provide that in the event of loss, injury or damage, subject to
        the rights of any Fee Mortgagee, all proceeds shall be paid to the
        Lessor alone (rather than jointly to the Lessee and the Lessor).  The
        Lessor is hereby authorized to adjust and compromise any such loss with
        the consent of the Lessee or, following any Lease Default, whether or
        not cured, without the consent of the Lessee, and to collect and
        receive such proceeds in the name of the Lessor and the Lessee, and the
        Lessee appoints the Lessor (or any agent designated by the Lessor) as
        the Lessee's attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution, to
        endorse the Lessee's name upon any check in payment thereof.  Subject
        to the provisions of Article 13, such insurance proceeds shall be
        applied first toward reimbursement of all costs and expenses reasonably
        incurred by the Lessor in collecting said insurance proceeds, then
        toward payment of the Lease Obligations or any portion thereof, then
        due and payable, in such order as the Lessor determines, and then in
        whole or in part toward restoration, repair or reconstruction of the
        Leased Property for which such insurance proceeds shall have been paid.
        Notwithstanding the foregoing, so





                                      -67-
<PAGE>   79
        long as (but only so long as) no Event of Default shall exist
        hereunder, Lessor shall, as soon as practicable after its receipt
        thereof, deliver to Lessee all insurance proceeds received by Lessor
        pursuant to this paragraph on account of Lessee's business interruption
        insurance.

                12.1.7        IRREVOCABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY.  The power of
        attorney conferred on the Lessor pursuant to the provisions of this
        Section 12.1, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable for
        as long as this Lease is in effect or any Lease Obligations are
        outstanding, shall not be affected by any disability or incapacity
        which the Lessee may suffer and shall survive the same.  Such power of
        attorney, is provided solely to protect the interests of the Lessor and
        shall not impose any duty on the Lessor to exercise any such power, and
        neither the Lessor nor such attorney-in-fact shall be liable for any
        act, omission, error in judgment or mistake of law, except as the same
        may result from its gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

                12.1.8        BLANKET POLICIES.  Notwithstanding anything to
        the contrary contained herein, the Lessee's obligations to carry the
        insurance provided for herein may be brought within the coverage of a
        so-called blanket policy or policies of insurance carried and
        maintained by the Lessee and its Affiliates; provided, however, that
        the coverage afforded to the Lessor shall not be reduced or diminished
        or otherwise be different from that which would exist under a separate
        policy meeting all other requirements of this Lease by reason of the
        use of such blanket policy of insurance, and provided, further that the
        requirements of this Section 12.1 are otherwise satisfied.

                12.1.9        NO SEPARATE INSURANCE.  The Lessee shall not, on
        the Lessee's own initiative or pursuant to the request or requirement
        of any other Person, take out separate insurance concurrent in form or
        contributing in the event of loss with the insurance required hereunder
        to be furnished by the Lessee, or increase the amounts of any then
        existing insurance by securing an additional policy or additional
        policies, unless (a) all parties having an insurable interest in the
        subject matter of the insurance, including the Lessor, are included
        therein as additional insureds and (b) losses are payable under said
        insurance in the same manner as losses are required to be payable under
        this Lease.  The Lessee shall immediately notify the Lessor of the
        taking out of any such separate insurance or of the increasing of any
        of the amounts of the then existing insurance by securing an additional
        insurance policy or policies.

                12.1.10       ASSIGNMENT OF UNEARNED PREMIUMS.  In the event
        that this Lease is terminated for any reason (other than the purchase
        of the Leased Property by the Lessee), the insurance policies required
        to be maintained hereunder, excluding workers compensation and
        employers liability insurance, shall continue to be maintained for a
        period of thirty (30) days following such termination; provided,
        however, that the Lessee shall not be obligated to maintain commercial
        general liability and professional liability insurance for such thirty
        (30) day period to the extent that any such insurance cannot be





                                      -68-
<PAGE>   80
        maintained with the then current insurer as a result of any such
        termination.  The provisions of this Section 12.1.10 shall survive any
        termination of this Lease.

        12.2    INDEMNITY.

                12.2.1        INDEMNIFICATION.  Except with respect to the
        gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Lessor or any of the other
        Indemnified Parties, as to which no indemnity is provided, the Lessee
        hereby agrees to defend with counsel acceptable to the Lessor,
        indemnify and hold harmless the Lessor and each of the other
        Indemnified Parties from and against all damages, losses, claims,
        liabilities, obligations, penalties, causes of action, costs and
        expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees, court costs
        and other expenses of litigation) suffered by, or claimed or asserted
        against, the Lessor or any of the other Indemnified Parties, directly
        or indirectly, based on, arising out of or resulting from (a) the use
        and occupancy of the Leased Property or any business conducted therein,
        (b) any act, fault, omission to act or misconduct by (i) any member of
        the Leasing Group, (ii) any Affiliate of the Lessee or (iii) any
        employee, agent, licensee, business invitee, guest, customer,
        contractor or sublessee of any of the foregoing parties, relating to,
        directly or indirectly, the Leased Property, (c) any accident, injury
        or damage whatsoever caused to any Person, including, without
        limitation, any claim of malpractice, or to the property of any Person
        in or about the Leased Property or outside of the Leased Property where
        such accident, injury or damage results or is claimed to have resulted
        from any act, fault, omission to act or misconduct by any member of the
        Leasing Group or any Affiliate of the Lessee or any employee, agent,
        licensee, contractor or sublessee of any of the foregoing parties, (d)
        any Lease Default, (e) any claim brought or threatened against any of
        the Indemnified Parties by any member of the Leasing Group or by any
        other Person on account of (i) the Lessor's relationship with any
        member of the Leasing Group pertaining in any way to the Leased
        Property and/or the transaction evidenced by the Lease Documents and/or
        (ii) the Lessor's negotiation of, entering into and/or performing any
        of its obligations and/or exercising any of its right and remedies
        under any of the Lease Documents, (f) any attempt by any member of the
        Leasing Group or any Affiliate of the Lessee to transfer or relocate
        any of the Permits to any location other than the Leased Property
        and/or (g) the enforcement of this indemnity.  Any amounts which become
        payable by the Lessee under this Section 12.2.1 shall be a demand
        obligation of the Lessee to the Lessor, payable as an Additional
        Charge.  The indemnity provided for in this Section 12.2.1 shall
        survive any termination of this Lease.

                12.2.2        INDEMNIFIED PARTIES.  As used in this Lease the
        term "Indemnified Parties" shall mean the Meditrust Entities, any Fee
        Mortgagee and their respective successors, assigns, employees,
        servants, agents, attorneys, officers, directors, shareholders,
        partners and owners.

                12.2.3        LIMITATION ON LESSOR LIABILITY.  Neither the
        Lessor nor any Affiliate of the Lessor shall be liable to any member of
        the Leasing Group or any Affiliate of any





                                      -69-

        member of the Leasing Group, or to any other Person whatsoever for any
        damage, injury, loss, compensation, or claim (including, but not
        limited to, any claim for the interruption of or loss to any business
        conducted on the Leased Property) based on, arising out of or resulting
        from any cause whatsoever, including, but not limited to, the
        following:  (a) repairs to the Leased Property, (b) interruption in use
        of the Leased Property; (c) any accident or damage resulting from the
        use or operation of the Leased Property or any business conducted
        thereon; (d) the termination of this Lease by reason of Casualty or
        Condemnation, (e) any fire, theft or other casualty or crime, (f) the
        actions, omissions or misconduct of any other Person, (g) damage to any
        property, or (h) any damage from the flow or leaking of water, rain or
        snow.  All Tangible Personal Property and the personal property of any
        other Person on the Leased Property shall be at the sole risk of the
        Lessee and the Lessor shall not in any manner be held responsible
        therefor.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lessor shall not be
        released from liability for any injury, loss, damage or liability
        suffered directly by the Lessee to the extent caused directly by the
        gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lessor, its servants,
        employees or agents acting within the scope of their authority on or
        about the Leased Property or in regards to the Lease; provided,
        however, that in no event shall the Lessor, its servants, employees or
        agents have any liability based on any loss with respect to or
        interruption in the operation of any business at the Leased Property or
        for any indirect or consequential damages.

                12.2.4        RISK OF LOSS.  During the Term of this Lease, the
        risk of loss or of decrease in the enjoyment and beneficial use of the
        Leased Property in consequence of any damage or destruction thereof by
        fire, the elements, casualties, thefts, riots, wars or otherwise, or in
        consequence of foreclosures, levies or executions  of Liens (other than
        those created by the Lessor in accordance with the provisions of
        Article 20) is assumed by the Lessee and, in the absence of the gross
        negligence or willful misconduct as set forth in Section 12.2.3, the
        Lessor shall in no event be answerable or accountable therefor (except
        for the obligation to account for insurance proceeds and Awards to the
        extent provided for in Articles 13 and 14) nor shall any of the events
        mentioned in this Section entitle the Lessee to any abatement of Rent
        (except for an abatement, if any, as specifically provided for in
        Section 3.8).


                                   ARTICLE 13

                               FIRE AND CASUALTY

        13.1    RESTORATION FOLLOWING FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY.

                13.1.1        FOLLOWING FIRE OR CASUALTY.  In the event of any
        damage or destruction to the Leased Property by reason of fire or other
        hazard or casualty (a "Casualty"), the Lessee shall give immediate
        written notice thereof to the Lessor and, subject to the terms of this
        Article 13, the Lessee shall proceed with reasonable diligence,





                                      -70-
<PAGE>   82
        in full compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements, to perform
        such repairs, replacement and reconstruction work (referred to herein
        as the "Work") to restore the Leased Property to the condition it was
        in immediately prior to such damage or destruction and to a condition
        adequate to operate the Facility for the Primary Intended Use and in
        compliance with Legal Requirements.  All Work shall be performed and
        completed in accordance with all Legal Requirements and the other
        requirements of this Lease within one hundred and twenty (120) days
        following the occurrence of the damage or destruction plus a reasonable
        time to compensate for Unavoidable Delays (including for the purposes
        of this Section, delays in obtaining Permits and in adjusting insurance
        losses), but in no event beyond two- hundred and seventy (270) days
        following the occurrence of the Casualty.

                13.1.2        PROCEDURES.  In the event that any Casualty
        results in non-structural damage to the Leased Property in excess of
        ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($100,000) or in any structural damage to
        the Leased Property, regardless of the extent of such structural
        damage, prior to commencing the Work, the Lessee shall comply with the
        following requirements:

                          (a)     The Lessee shall furnish to the Lessor
                complete plans and specifications for the Work (collectively,
                the "Plans and Specifications"), for the Lessor's approval, in
                each instance, which approval shall not be unreasonably
                withheld.  The Plans and Specifications shall bear the signed
                approval thereof by an architect, licensed to do business in
                the State, reasonably satisfactory to the Lessor and shall be
                accompanied by a written estimate from the architect, bearing
                the architect's seal, of the entire cost of completing the
                Work, and to the extent feasible, the Plans and Specifications
                shall provide for Work of such nature, quality and extent,
                that, upon the completion thereof, the Leased Property shall be
                at least equal in value and general utility to its value and
                general utility prior to the Casualty and shall be adequate to
                operate the Leased Property for the Primary Intended Use;

                          (b)     The Lessee shall furnish to the Lessor
                certified or photostatic copies of all Permits and Contracts
                required by all applicable Legal Requirements in connection
                with the commencement and conduct of the Work;

                          (c)     The Lessee shall furnish to the Lessor a cash
                deposit, letter of credit in form and substance and issued by a
                financial institution reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, or a
                payment and performance bond sufficient to pay for completion
                of and payment for the Work in an amount not less than the
                architect's estimate of the entire cost of completing the Work,
                less the amount of property insurance proceeds, if any, then
                held by the Lessor and which the Lessor shall be required to
                apply toward restoration of the Leased Property as provided in
                Section 13.2;





                                      -71-
<PAGE>   83
                          (d)     The Lessee shall furnish to the Lessor such
                insurance with respect to the Work (in addition to the
                insurance required under Section 12.1 hereof) in such amounts
                and in such forms as is reasonably required by the Lessee; and

                          (e)     The Lessee shall not commence any of the Work
                until the Lessee shall have complied with the requirements set
                forth in clauses (a) through (d) immediately above, as
                applicable, and, thereafter, the Lessee shall perform the Work
                diligently, in a good and workmanlike fashion and in good faith
                in accordance with (i) the Plans and Specifications referred to
                in clause (a) immediately above, (ii) the Permits and Contracts
                referred to in clause (b) immediately above and (iii) all
                applicable Legal Requirements and other requirements of this
                Lease; provided, however, that in the event of a bona fide
                emergency during which the Lessee is unable to contact the
                appropriate representatives of the Lessor, the Lessee may
                commence such Work as may be necessary in order to address such
                emergency without the Lessor's prior approval, as long as the
                Lessee immediately thereafter advises the Lessor of such
                emergency and the nature and scope of the Work performed and
                obtains the Lessor's approval of the remaining Work to be
                completed.

                13.1.3        DISBURSEMENT OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS.  If, as
        provided in Section 13.2, the Lessor is required to apply any property
        insurance proceeds toward repair or restoration of the Leased Property,
        then as long as the Work is being diligently performed by the Lessee in
        accordance with the terms and conditions of this Lease, the Lessor
        shall disburse such insurance proceeds from time to time during the
        course of the Work in accordance with and subject to satisfaction of
        the following provisions and conditions.  The Lessor shall not be
        required to make disbursements more often than at thirty (30) day
        intervals.  The Lessee shall submit a written request for each
        disbursement at least ten (10) Business Days in advance and shall
        comply with the following requirements in connection with each
        disbursement:

                          (a)     Prior to the commencement of any Work, the
                Lessee shall have received the Lessor's written approval of the
                Plans and Specifications (which approval shall not be
                unreasonably withheld) and the Work shall be supervised by an
                experienced construction manager with the consultation of an
                architect or engineer qualified and licensed to do business in
                the State.

                          (b)     Each request for payment shall be accompanied
                by (x) a certificate of the architect or engineer, bearing the
                architect's or engineer's seal, and (y) a certificate of the
                general contractor, qualified and licensed to do business in
                the State, that is performing the Work (collectively, the "Work
                Certificates"), each dated not more than ten (10) days prior to
                the application for withdrawal of funds, and each stating:

<PAGE>   84
                      (i)         that all of the Work performed as of the date
                                  of the certificates has been completed in
                                  compliance with the approved Plans and
                                  Specifications, applicable Contracts and all
                                  applicable Legal Requirements;

                      (ii)        that the sum then requested to be withdrawn
                                  has been paid by the Lessee or is justly due
                                  to contractors, subcontractors, materialmen,
                                  engineers, architects or other Persons, whose
                                  names and addresses shall be stated therein,
                                  who have rendered or furnished certain
                                  services or materials for the Work, and the
                                  certificate shall also include a brief
                                  description of such services and materials
                                  and the principal subdivisions or categories
                                  thereof and the respective amounts so paid or
                                  due to each of said Persons in respect
                                  thereof and stating the progress of the Work
                                  up to the date of said certificate;

                    (iii)         that the sum then requested to be withdrawn,
                                  plus all sums previously withdrawn, does not
                                  exceed the cost of the Work insofar as
                                  actually accomplished up to the date of such
                                  certificate;

                      (iv)        that the remainder of the funds held by the
                                  Lessor will be sufficient to pay for the full
                                  completion of the Work in accordance with the
                                  Plans and Specifications;

                      (v)         that no part of the cost of the services and
                                  materials described in the applicable Work
                                  Certificate has been or is being made the
                                  basis of the withdrawal of any funds in any
                                  previous or then pending application; and

                      (vi)        that, except for the amounts, if any,
                                  specified in the applicable Work Certificate
                                  to be due for services and materials, there
                                  is no outstanding indebtedness known, after
                                  due inquiry, which is then due and payable
                                  for work, labor, services or materials in
                                  connection with the Work which, if unpaid,
                                  might become the basis of a vendor's,
                                  mechanic's, laborer's or materialman's
                                  statutory or other similar Lien upon the
                                  Leased Property.

                          (c)     The Lessee shall deliver to the Lessor
                satisfactory evidence that the Leased Property and all
                materials and all property described in the Work Certificates
                are free and clear of Liens, except (i) Liens, if any, securing
                indebtedness due to Persons (whose names and addresses and the
                several amounts due them shall be stated therein) specified in
                an applicable Work Certificate, which Liens shall be discharged
                upon disbursement of the funds then being





                                      -73-
<PAGE>   85
                requested, (ii) any Fee Mortgage and (iii) the Permitted
                Encumbrances.  The Lessor shall accept as satisfactory evidence
                of the foregoing lien waivers in customary form from the
                general contractor and all subcontractors performing the Work,
                together with an endorsement of its title insurance policy
                (relating to the Leased Property) in form acceptable to the
                Lessor, dated as of the date of the making of the then current
                disbursement, confirming the foregoing.

                          (d)     If the Work involves alteration or
                restoration of the exterior of any Leased Improvement that
                changes the footprint of any Leased Improvement, the Lessee
                shall deliver to the Lessor, upon the request of the Lessor, an
                "as-built" survey of the Leased Property dated as of a date
                within ten (10) days prior to the making of the first and final
                advances (or revised to a date within ten (10) days prior to
                each such advance) showing no encroachments other than such
                encroachments, if any, by the Leased Improvements upon or over
                the Permitted Encumbrances as are in existence as of the date
                hereof.

                          (e)     The Lessee shall deliver to the Lessor (i) if
                the total cost of the Work is likely to equal or exceed
                $250,000, an opinion of counsel (satisfactory to the Lessor
                both as to counsel and as to the form of opinion) prior to the
                first advance opining that all necessary Permits for the
                repair, replacement and/or restoration of the Leased Property
                have been obtained and  that the Leased Property, if repaired,
                replaced or rebuilt in accordance, in all material respects,
                with the approved Plans and Specifications and such Permits,
                shall comply with all applicable Legal Requirements and (ii) in
                all events, an architect's certificate (satisfactory to the
                Lessor both as to the architect and as to the form of the
                certificate) prior to the final advance, certifying that the
                Leased Property was repaired, replaced or rebuilt in
                accordance, in all material respects, with the approved Plans
                and Specifications and complies with all applicable Legal
                Requirements, including, without limitation, all Permits
                referenced in the foregoing clause (i).

                          (f)     There shall be no Lease Default or any state
                of facts or circumstance existing which, with the giving of
                notice and/or the passage of time, would constitute any Lease
                Default.

        The Lessor, at its option, may waive any of the foregoing requirements
        in whole or in part in any instance.  Upon compliance by the Lessee
        with the foregoing requirements (except for such requirements, if any,
        as the Lessor may have expressly elected to waive), and to the extent
        of (x) the insurance proceeds, if any, which the Lessor may be required
        to apply to restoration of the Leased Property pursuant to the
        provisions of this Lease and (y) all other cash deposits made by the
        Lessee, the Lessor shall make available for payment to the Persons
        named in the Work Certificate the respective amounts stated in said
        certificate(s) to be due, subject to a retention of ten percent (10%)
        as to all hard costs of





                                      -74-
<PAGE>   86
        the Work (the "Retainage").  It is understood that the Retainage is
        intended to provide a contingency fund to assure the Lessor that the
        Work shall be fully completed in accordance with the Plans and
        Specifications and the requirements of the Lessor.  Upon the full and
        final completion of all of the Work in accordance with the provisions
        hereof, the Retainage shall be made available for payment to  those
        Persons entitled thereto.

        Upon completion of the Work, and as a condition precedent to making any
        further advance, in addition to the requirements set forth above, the
        Lessee shall promptly deliver to the Lessor:

             (i)          written certificates of the architect or engineer,
                          bearing the architect's or engineer's seal, and the
                          general contractor, certifying that the Work has been
                          fully completed in a good and workmanlike manner in
                          material compliance with the Plans and Specifications
                          and all Legal Requirements;

            (ii)          an endorsement of its title insurance policy
                          (relating to the Leased Property) in form reasonably
                          acceptable to the Lessor insuring the Leased Property
                          against all mechanic's and materialman's liens
                          accompanied by the final lien waivers from the
                          general contractor and all subcontractors;

           (iii)          a certificate by the Lessee in form and substance
                          reasonably satisfactory to the Lessor, listing all
                          costs and expenses in connection with the completion
                          of the Work and the amount paid by the Lessee with
                          respect to the Work; and

            (iv)          a temporary certificate of occupancy (if obtainable)
                          and all other applicable Permits and Contracts (that
                          have not previously been delivered to the Lessor)
                          issued by or entered into with any Governmental
                          Authority with respect to the Leased Property and the
                          Primary Intended Use and by the appropriate Board of
                          Fire Underwriters or other similar bodies acting in
                          and for the locality in which the Leased Property is
                          situated; provided, that within ten (10) days prior
                          to the expiration of any temporary certificate of
                          occupancy, the Lessee shall obtain and deliver to the
                          Lessor a permanent certificate of occupancy for the
                          Leased Property.

                Upon completion of the Work and delivery of the documents
        required pursuant to the provisions of this Section 13.1, the Lessor
        shall pay the Retainage to the Lessee or to those Persons entitled
        thereto and if there shall be insurance proceeds or cash deposits,
        other than the Retainage, held by the Lessor in excess of the amounts
        disbursed pursuant to the foregoing provisions, then provided that no
        Lease Default has occurred and is continuing, nor any state of facts or
        circumstances which, with the giving of notice and/or the passage of
        time would constitute a Lease Default, the Lessor shall pay over such
        proceeds or cash deposits to the Lessee.

                No inspections or any approvals of the Work during or after
        construction shall constitute a warranty or representation by the
        Lessor, or any of its agents or Consultants, as to the technical
        sufficiency, adequacy or safety of any structure or any of its
        component parts, including, without limitation, any fixtures, equipment
        or furnishings, or as to the subsoil conditions or any other physical
        condition or feature pertaining to the Leased Property.  All acts
        described in this paragraph, including any failure to act, relating to
        the Lessor are performed solely for the benefit of the Lessor to assure
        the payment and performance of the Lease Obligations and are not for
        the benefit of the Lessee or the benefit of any other Person.

        13.2    DISPOSITION OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS.

                13.2.1        PROCEEDS TO BE RELEASED TO PAY FOR WORK.  In the
        event of any Casualty, except as provided for in Section 13.2.2, the
        Lessor shall release proceeds of property insurance held by it to pay
        for the Work in accordance with the provisions and procedures set forth
        in this Article 13, only if:

                          (a)     all of the terms, conditions and provisions
                of Sections 13.1 and 13.2.1 are satisfied;

                          (b)     there does not then exist any Lease Default
                or any state of facts or circumstance which, with the giving of
                notice and/or the passage of time, would constitute such a
                Lease Default; and

                          (b)     The Lessee demonstrates to the Lessor's
                satisfaction that the Lessee has the financial ability to
                satisfy the Lease Obligations during such repair or
                restoration.

                13.2.2        PROCEEDS NOT TO BE RELEASED.  If, as the result
        of any Casualty,  the Leased Property is damaged to the extent it is
        rendered Unsuitable For Its Primary Intended Use and if either:  (a)
        the Lessee, after exercise of diligent efforts, cannot within a
        reasonable time (not in excess of ninety (90) days) obtain all
        necessary Permits in order to be able to perform all required Work and
        to again operate the Facility for its Primary Intended Use within two
        hundred and seventy (270) days from the occurrence of the damage or
        destruction in substantially the manner as immediately prior to such
        damage or destruction or (b) such Casualty occurs during the last
        twenty-four (24) months of the Term and would reasonably require more
        than nine (9) months to obtain all Permits and complete the Work, then
        the Lessee may either (i) acquire the Leased Property from the Lessor
        for a purchase price equal to the greater of (x) the Meditrust
        Investment or (y) the Fair Market Value of the Leased Property minus
        the Fair Market Added Value, with the Fair Market Value and the Fair
        Market Added Value to be determined as of the day immediately prior to
        such Casualty and prior to any other Casualty which has not been fully
        repaired, restored or replaced, in which event, the Lessee shall be
        entitled upon





                                      -76-
<PAGE>   88
        payment of the full purchase price to receive all property insurance
        proceeds (less any costs and expenses incurred by the Lessor in
        collecting the same), or (ii) terminate this Lease, in which event
        (subject to the provisions of the last sentence of this Section 13.2.2)
        the Lessor shall be entitled to receive and retain the insurance
        proceeds; provided, however, that the Lessee shall only have such right
        of termination effective upon payment to the Lessor of all Rent and
        other sums due under this Lease and the other Lease Documents through
        the date of termination plus an amount, which when added to the sum of
        (1) the Fair Market Value of the Leased Property as affected by all
        unrepaired or unrestored damage due to any Casualty (and giving due
        regard for delays, costs and expenses incident to completing all repair
        or restoration required to fully repair or restore the same) plus (2)
        the amount of insurance proceeds actually received by the Lessor (net
        of costs and expenses incurred by the Lessor in collecting the same)
        equals (3) the greater of the Meditrust Investment or the Fair Market
        Value of the Leased Property minus the Fair Market Added Value, with
        the Fair Market Value and the Fair Market Added Value to be determined
        as of the day immediately prior to such Casualty and prior to any other
        Casualty which has not been fully repaired.  Any acquisition of the
        Leased Property pursuant to the terms of this Section 13.2.2 shall be
        consummated in accordance with the provisions of Article 18, mutatis,
        mutandis.  If such termination becomes effective, the Lessor shall
        assign to the Lessee any outstanding insurance claims.

                13.2.3        LESSEE RESPONSIBLE FOR SHORT-FALL.  If the cost
        of the Work exceeds the amount of proceeds received by the Lessor from
        the property insurance required under Article 12 (net of costs and
        expenses incurred by the Lessor in collecting the same), the Lessee
        shall be obligated to contribute any excess amount needed to repair or
        restore the Leased Property and pay for the Work.  Such amount shall be
        paid by the Lessee to the Lessor together with any other property
        insurance proceeds for application to the cost of the Work.

                13.2.4        LESSEE'S LIMITED RIGHT TO EXTEND.  Anything to
        the contrary contained in Section 13.2.2 notwithstanding, if such
        Casualty occurs during the last twenty-four (24) months of the Term and
        would, in Lessor's reasonable determination,  reasonably require less
        than nine (9) months to obtain all Permits and complete the Work, then
        Lessee may, on one occasion only, by written notice to Lessor given
        within thirty (30) Business Days from the date of such Casualty (but in
        any event prior to the expiration of the Term), so long as Lessee shall
        have commenced diligently to obtain such Permits and complete such
        Work, and so long as Lessee shall have concurrently therewith extended
        the Term of all of the Related Leases, extend the then current Term for
        a period of twenty-four (24) additional months, at the Base Rent
        applicable hereunder for such time period (with all adjustments thereto
        which would otherwise be effective hereunder, with the same effect as
        if such extension would, but for the provisions of this Section,
        include a portion of any Extended Term), and upon all of the other
        terms and provisions of this Lease (except for the provisions of this
        Section 13.2.4 which shall become null and void and of no further force
        or effect upon the effectiveness of such extension), and upon





                                      -77-
<PAGE>   89
        the giving of such notice of extension by Lessee, the then current Term
        shall be automatically so extended for an additional twenty-four (24)
        months without the need to exchange or enter into any other documents
        or agreements.   Any such notice to extend, once given, shall be
        irrevocable.  Any such notice shall be deemed to automatically extend
        the Term of all Related Leases to be coterminous with the Term hereof.

        13.3    TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY.  All insurance proceeds payable by
reason of any loss of or damage to any of the Tangible Personal Property shall
be paid to the Lessor as secured party, subject to the rights of the holders of
any Permitted Prior Security Interests, and, thereafter, provided that no Lease
Default, nor any fact or circumstance which with the giving of notice and/or
the passage of time could constitute a Lease Default, has occurred and is
continuing, the Lessor shall pay such insurance proceeds to the Lessee to
reimburse the Lessee for the cost of repairing or replacing the damaged
Tangible Personal Property, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in
the other provisions of this Article 13, mutatis mutandis.

        13.4    RESTORATION OF CERTAIN IMPROVEMENTS AND THE TANGIBLE PERSONAL
PROPERTY.  If the Lessee is required or elects to restore the Facility, the
Lessee shall either (a) restore (i) all alterations and improvements to the
Leased Property made by the Lessee and (ii) the Tangible Personal Property or
(b) replace such alterations and improvements and the Tangible Personal
Property with improvements or items of the same or better quality and utility
in the operation of the Leased Property.

        13.5    NO ABATEMENT OF RENT.  In no event shall any Rent abate as a
result of any Casualty.

        13.6    TERMINATION OF CERTAIN RIGHTS.  Any termination of this Lease
pursuant to this Article 13 shall cause any right of the Lessee to extend the
Term of this Lease and any right of the Lessee to purchase the Leased Property
contained in this Lease to be terminated and to be without further force or
effect.

        13.7    WAIVER.  The Lessee hereby waives any statutory rights of
termination which may arise by reason of any damage or destruction to the
Leased Property due to any Casualty which the Lessee is obligated to restore or
may restore under any of the provisions of this Lease.

        13.8    APPLICATION OF RENT LOSS AND/OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION
INSURANCE.  All proceeds of rent loss and/or business interruption insurance
(collectively, "Rent Insurance Proceeds") shall be paid to the Lessor and dealt
with as follows:

                (a)       if the Work has been promptly and diligently
        commenced by the Lessee and is in the process of being completed in
        accordance with this Lease and no fact or condition exists which
        constitutes, or which with the giving of notice and/or the passage of
        time would constitute, a Lease Default, the Lessor shall each month pay
        to the Lessee out of the Rent





                                      -78-
<PAGE>   90
        Insurance Proceeds a sum equal to that amount, if any, of the Rent
        Insurance Proceeds paid by the insurer which is allocable to the rental
        loss and/or business interruption for the preceding month minus an
        amount equal to the sum of the Rent due hereunder for such month plus
        any Impositions relating to the Leased Property then due and payable;

                (b)       if the Work has not been promptly and diligently
        commenced by the Lessee or is not in the process of being completed in
        accordance with this Lease, the Rent Insurance Proceeds shall be
        applied to any Rent then due, and, to the extent sufficient therefor,
        an amount equal to Base Rent, Impositions and insurance premiums
        payable for the next twelve (12) months, as reasonably projected by the
        Lessor, shall be held by the Lessor as security for the Lease
        Obligations and applied to the payment of Rent as it becomes due; and

                (c)       if such Rent Insurance Proceeds received by the
        Lessor (net of costs and expenses incurred by the Lessor in collecting
        the same) exceed the amounts required under clauses (a) and (b) above,
        the excess shall be paid to the Lessee, provided no fact or
        circumstance exists which constitutes, or with notice, or passage of
        time, or both, would constitute, a Lease Default.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lessor may at its option use or release the
Rent Insurance Proceeds to pay for the Work and, if a Lease Default exists, the
Lessor may apply all such insurance proceeds towards the Lease Obligations or
hold such proceeds as security therefor.

        13.9    OBLIGATION TO ACCOUNT.  Upon the Lessee's written request,
which may not be made not more than once in any three (3) month period, the
Lessor shall provide the Lessee with a  written accounting of the application
of all insurance proceeds received by the Lessor.


                                   ARTICLE 14

                                  CONDEMNATION

        14.1    PARTIES' RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS.  If during the Term there is
any Taking of all or any part of the Leased Property or any interest in this
Lease, the rights and obligations of the parties shall be determined by this
Article 14.

        14.2    INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

        14.3    PARTIAL OR TEMPORARY TAKING.  If there is a Permanent Taking of
a portion of the Leased Property, or if there is a temporary Taking of all or a
portion of the Leased Property, this Lease shall remain in effect so long as
the Leased Property is not thereby rendered permanently Unsuitable For Its
Primary Intended Use or temporarily Unsuitable For Its Primary Intended Use for
a period not likely to, or which does not, exceed two hundred and seventy (270)
days.  If,





                                      -79-
<PAGE>   91
however, the Leased Property is thereby so rendered permanently or temporarily
Unsuitable For Its Primary Intended Use:  (a) the Lessee shall have the right
to restore the Leased Property, at its own expense, (subject to the right under
certain circumstances as provided for in Section 14.5 to receive the net
proceeds of an Award for reimbursement) to the extent possible, to
substantially the same condition as existed immediately before the partial or
temporary Taking or (b) the Lessee shall have the right to acquire the Leased
Property from the Lessor (i) upon payment of all Rent due through the date that
the Condemnation Purchase Price is paid, for a purchase price (the
"Condemnation Purchase Price") equal to the greater of (x) the Meditrust
Investment or (y) the Fair Market Value of the Leased Property minus the Fair
Market Added Value, with the Fair Market Value of the Leased Property and the
Fair Market Added Value to be determined as of the day immediately prior to
such partial or temporary Taking and (ii) in accordance with the terms and
conditions set forth in Article 18; in which event, this Lease shall terminate
upon payment of the Condemnation Purchase Price or the  Acquisition Purchase
Price, as the case may be, and the consummation of such acquisition.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lessor may overrule the Lessee's election
under clause (a) or (b) and instead either (1) terminate this Lease as of the
date when the Lessee is required to surrender possession of the portion of the
Leased Property so taken or (2) compel the Lessee to keep the Lease in full
force and effect and to restore the Leased Property as provided in clause (a)
above, but only if the Leased Property may be operated for at least ninety
percent (90%) of the licensed capacity and eighty percent (80%) of the
unlicensed capacity of the Facility if operated in accordance with its Primary
Intended Use.  The Lessee shall exercise its election under this Section 14.3
by giving the Lessor notice thereof ("Lessee's Election Notice") within sixty
(60) days after the Lessee receives notice of the Taking.  The Lessor shall
exercise its option to overrule the Lessee's election under this Section 14.3
by giving the Lessee notice of the Lessor's exercise of its rights under
Section 14.3 within thirty (30) days after the Lessor receives the Lessee's
Election Notice.  If, as the result of any such partial or temporary Taking,
this Lease is not terminated as provided above, the Lessee shall be entitled to
an abatement of Rent, but only to the extent, if any, provided for in Section
3.7, effective as of the date upon which the Leased Property is rendered
Unsuitable For Its Primary Intended Use.

        14.4    RESTORATION.  If there is a partial or temporary Taking of the
Leased Property and this Lease remains in full force and effect pursuant to
Section 14.3, the Lessee shall accomplish all necessary restoration and the
Lessor shall release the net proceeds of such Award to reimburse the Lessee for
the actual reasonable costs and expenses thereof, subject to all of the
conditions and provisions set forth in Article 13 as though the Taking was a
Casualty and the Award was insurance proceeds.  If the cost of the restoration
exceeds the amount of the Award (net of costs and expenses incurred in
obtaining the Award), the Lessee shall be obligated to contribute any excess
amount needed to restore the Facility or pay for such costs and expenses.  To
the extent that the cost of restoration is less than the amount of the Award
(net of cost and expenses incurred in obtaining the Award), the remainder of
the Award shall be retained by the Lessor and Rent shall be abated as set forth
in Section 3.7.

        14.5    AWARD DISTRIBUTION.  In the event the Lessee completes the
purchase of the Leased Property, as described in Section 14.3, or there is
permanent Taking of all or substantially





                                      -80-
<PAGE>   92
all of the Leased Property, the entire Award shall, upon payment of the
Condemnation Purchase Price and all Rent and other sums due under this Lease
and the other Lease Documents, belong to the Lessee and the Lessor agrees to
assign to the Lessee all of the Lessor's rights thereto.  In any other event,
the entire Award shall belong to and be paid to the Lessor.

        14.6    CONTROL OF PROCEEDINGS.  Subject to the rights of any Fee
Mortgagee, unless and until the Lessee completes the purchase of the Leased
Property as provided in Section 14.3, all proceedings involving any Taking and
the prosecution of claims arising out of any Taking against the Condemnor shall
be conducted, prosecuted and settled by the Lessor; provided, however, that the
Lessor shall keep the Lessee apprised of the progress of all such proceedings
and shall solicit the Lessee's advice with respect thereto and shall give due
consideration to any such advice.  In addition, the Lessee shall reimburse the
Lessor (as an Additional Charge) for all costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, appraisal fees, fees of expert witnesses and costs
of litigation or dispute resolution, in relation to any Taking, whether or not
this Lease is terminated; provided, however, (a) if this Lease is terminated as
a result of a Taking, the Lessee's obligation to so reimburse the Lessor shall
be diminished by the amount of the Award, if any, received by the Lessor which
is in excess of the Meditrust Investment and (b) in the event of a partial or
temporary Taking and this Lease remains in full force and effect, then so long
as there shall be no Rent abatement, the Lessee's obligation to reimburse
Lessor shall be diminished by the amount of the Award, if any, so retained by
Lessor pursuant to Section 14.4 which is in excess of the cost of restoration
referred to in Section 14.4.


                                   ARTICLE 15

                               PERMITTED CONTESTS

        15.1    LESSEE'S RIGHT TO CONTEST.  To the extent of the express
references made to this Article 15 in other Sections of this Lease, the Lessee
on its own or on the Lessor's behalf (or in the Lessor's name), but at its sole
cost and expense, may contest, by appropriate legal proceedings conducted in
good faith and with due diligence (until the resolution thereof), the amount,
validity or application, in whole or in part, of any Imposition, Legal
Requirement, the decision of any Governmental Authority related to the
operation of the Leased Property for its Primary Intended Use or any Lien or
claim relating to the Leased Property not otherwise permitted by this
Agreement; provided, that (a) prior written notice of such contest is given to
the Lessor, (b) in the case of an unpaid Imposition, Lien or claim, the
commencement and continuation of such proceedings shall suspend the collection
thereof from the Lessor and/or compliance by any applicable member of the
Leasing Group with the contested Legal Requirement or other matter may be
legally delayed pending the prosecution of any such proceeding without the
occurrence or creation of any Lien, charge or liability of any kind against the
Leased Property, (c) neither the Leased Property nor any rent therefrom would
be in any immediate danger of being sold, forfeited, attached or lost as a
result of such proceeding, (d) in the case of a Legal Requirement, neither the
Lessor nor any member of the Leasing Group would





                                      -81-
<PAGE>   93
be in any immediate danger of civil or criminal liability for failure to comply
therewith pending the outcome of such proceedings, (e) in the event that any
such contest shall involve a sum of money or potential loss in excess of
TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($25,000), the Lessee shall deliver to the Lessor
an Officer's Certificate and opinion of counsel, if the Lessor deems the
delivery of an opinion to be appropriate, certifying or opining, as the case
may be, as to the validity of the statements set forth to the effect set forth
in clauses (b), (c) and (d), to the extent applicable, (f) the Lessee shall
give such cash security (or letter of credit in form and substance acceptable
to the Lender) as may be demanded in good faith by the Lessor to insure
ultimate payment of any fine, penalty, interest or cost and to prevent any sale
or forfeiture of the affected portion of the Leased Property by reason of such
non-payment or non-compliance, (g) if such contest is finally resolved against
the Lessor or any member of the Leasing Group, the Lessee shall promptly pay,
as Additional Charges due hereunder, the amount required to be paid, together
with all interest and penalties accrued thereon and/or comply with the
applicable Legal Requirement, and (h) no state of facts or circumstance exists
which constitutes, or with the passage of time and/or the giving of notice,
could constitute a Lease Default; provided, however, the provisions of this
Article 15 shall not be construed to permit the Lessee to contest the payment
of Rent or any other sums payable by the Lessee to the Lessor under any of the
Lease Documents.

        15.2    LESSOR'S COOPERATION.  The Lessor, at the Lessee's sole cost
and expense, shall execute and deliver to the Lessee such authorizations and
other documents as may reasonably be required in any such contest, so long as
the same does not expose the Lessor to any civil or criminal liability, and, if
reasonably requested by the Lessee or if the Lessor so desires, the Lessor
shall join as a party therein.

        15.3    LESSEE'S INDEMNITY.  The Lessee, as more particularly provided
for in Section 12.2, shall indemnify, defend (with counsel acceptable to the
Lessor) and save the Lessor harmless against any liability, cost or expense of
any kind, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses that may
be imposed upon the Lessor in connection with any such contest and any loss
resulting therefrom and in the enforcement of this indemnification.

                                    DEFAULT

        16.1    EVENTS OF DEFAULT.  Each of the following shall constitute an
"Event of Default" hereunder and shall entitle the Lessor to exercise its
remedies hereunder and under any of the other Lease Documents:

                (a)       any failure of the Lessee to pay any amount due
        hereunder or under any of the other Lease Documents within ten (10)
        days following the date when such payment was due;





                                      -82-

                (b)       any failure in the observance or performance of any
        other covenant, term, condition or warranty provided in this Lease or
        any of the other Lease Documents, other than the payment of any
        monetary obligation and other than as specified in subsections (c)
        through (v) below (a "Failure to Perform"), continuing for thirty (30)
        days after the giving of notice by the Lessor to the Lessee specifying
        the nature of the Failure to Perform; except as to matters not
        susceptible to cure within thirty (30) days, provided that with respect
        to such matters, (i) the Lessee commences the cure thereof within
        thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice by the Lessor to the
        Lessee, (ii) the Lessee continuously prosecutes such cure to
        completion, (iii) such cure is completed within ninety (90) days after
        the giving of such notice by the Lessor to the Lessee and (iv) such
        Failure to Perform does not impair the value of, or the Lessor's rights
        with respect to, the Leased Property or otherwise impair the Collateral
        or the Lessor's security interest therein;

                (c)       the occurrence of any default or breach of condition
        continuing beyond the expiration of the applicable notice and grace
        periods, if any, under any of the other Lease Documents;

                (d)       if any representation, warranty or statement
        contained herein or in any of the other Lease Documents proves to be
        untrue in any material respect as of the date when made or at any time
        during the Term if such representation or warranty is a continuing
        representation or warranty pursuant to Section 10.2;

                (e)       if any member of the Leasing Group shall (i)
        voluntarily be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, (ii) seek or
        consent to the appointment of a receiver or trustee for itself or for

        jurisdiction, (iv) make a general assignment for the benefit of
        creditors,  (v) make or offer a composition of its debts with its
        creditors or (vi) be unable to pay its debts as such debts mature;

                (f)       if any court shall enter an order, judgment or decree
        appointing, without the consent of any member of the Leasing Group, a
        receiver or trustee for such member or for any of its property and such
        order, judgment or decree shall remain in force, undischarged or
        unstayed, sixty (60) days after it is entered;

                (g)       if a petition is filed against any member of the
        Leasing Group which seeks relief under the bankruptcy or other similar
        laws of the United States, any state or any other jurisdiction, and
        such petition is not dismissed within sixty (60) days after it is
        filed;

                (h)       in the event that, without the prior written consent
        of the Lessor, in each instance, which consent may be withheld by the
        Lessor in its sole and absolute discretion:

                i.        except with respect to the Guarantor, all or any

                          transferred (whether by operation of law or
                          otherwise), if such member of the Leasing Group shall
                          be a partnership, joint venture, syndicate or other
                          group;

                ii.       any Change of Control shall occur; or

                iii.      any Person other than the Lessee is the licensed
                          operator of the Facility, except Guarantor pursuant
                          to the provisions of the Interim Management

                (j)       if, without the prior written consent of the Lessor,
        in each instance, which consent may be withheld by the Lessor in its
        sole and absolute discretion, the Lessee's interest in the Leased
        Property shall be, directly or indirectly, mortgaged, encumbered (by

        continuing beyond the expiration of the applicable notice and grace
        periods, if any, in connection with the payment or performance of any
        other material obligation of the Lessee, whether or not the applicable
        creditor or obligee elects to declare the obligations of the Lessee
        under the applicable agreement due and payable or to exercise any other
        right or remedy available to such creditor or obligee, if such
        creditor's or obligee's rights and remedies may involve or result in
        (i) the taking of possession of the Leased Property or (ii) the
        assertion of any other right or remedy that, in the Lessor's reasonable
        opinion, may impair the Lessee's ability punctually to perform all of
        its obligations under this Lease and the other Lease Documents or may
        materially impair the Lessor's security for the Lease Obligations;
        provided, however, that in any event, the election by the applicable
        creditor or obligee to declare the obligations of the Lessee under the
        applicable agreement due and payable or to exercise any other right or
        remedy available to such creditor or obligee shall be an Event of

        any documents executed in connection with such lines of credit) on
        behalf of any member of the Leasing Group, whether or not the
        applicable creditor has elected to declare the Indebtedness due and

        any such default or breach (including upon the maturity thereof) or
        (iii) exercise any right or remedy as a result of such default or
        breach.  For the purposes of this provision, a major line of credit
        shall mean and include any line of credit established in an amount
        equal to or greater than FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($500,000);

        complete Condemnation, if the Lessee ceases operation of the Facility
        for a period in excess of thirty (30) days (a "Failure to Operate");

                (o)       if one or more judgments against the Lessee or
        attachments against the Lessee's interest in the Leased Property, which
        in the aggregate exceed ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($100,000) or
        which may materially and adversely interfere with the operation of the
        Facility, remain unpaid, unstayed on appeal, undischarged, unbonded or
        undismissed for a period of thirty (30) days;

                (p)       if any malpractice award or judgment exceeding any
        applicable professional liability insurance coverage by more than FIVE
        HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($500,000) shall be rendered against any
        member of the Leasing Group and either (i) enforcement proceedings
        shall have been commenced by any creditor upon such award or judgment
        or (ii) such award or judgment shall continue unsatisfied and in effect
        for a period of ten (10) consecutive days without an insurance company
        satisfactory to the Lessor (in its sole and absolute discretion) having
        agreed to fund such award or judgment in a manner satisfactory to the
        Lessor (in its sole and absolute discretion) and in either case such
        award or judgment shall, in the reasonable opinion of the Lessor, have
        a material adverse affect on the ability of any member of the Leasing
        Group to operate the Facility;

                (q)       if any Provider Agreement material to the operation

        prior written consent of the Lessor, in each instance, which consent
        may be withheld in the Lessor's reasonable discretion, shall not be
        renewed or extended upon the expiration of the stated term thereof;

        participation in the Medicare and/or Medicaid programs with regard to
        the operation of the Facility, a final unappealable determination is
        made by the applicable Governmental Authority that the Lessee shall
        have failed to comply with applicable Medicare and/or Medicaid
        regulations

        in the operation of the Facility, as a result of which failure the
        Lessee is declared ineligible to continue its participation in the
        Medicare and/or Medicaid programs;

                (s)       if any member of the Leasing Group receives notice of
        a final unappealable determination by applicable Governmental
        Authorities of the revocation of any Permit required for the lawful
        construction or operation of the Facility in accordance with the
        Primary Intended Use or the loss of, or the failure to obtain and/or
        renew, any Permit under any other circumstances under which any member
        of the Leasing Group is required to cease the operation of the Facility
        in accordance with the Primary Intended Use; and

                (t)       any failure to maintain the insurance required
        pursuant to Section 12 of this Lease in force and effect at all times
        until the Lease Obligations are fully paid and performed;

                (u)       the appointment of a temporary manager (or operator)
        for the Leased Property by any Governmental Authority; or

                (v)       the entry of an order by a court with jurisdiction
        over the Leased Property to close the Facility, to transfer one or more
        residents from the Facility as a result of an allegation of abuse or
        neglect or to take any action to eliminate an emergency situation then
        existing at the Facility.

        16.2    REMEDIES.

        (a)     If any Lease Default shall have occurred, the Lessor may at its
option terminate this Lease by giving the Lessee not less than ten (10) days'
notice of such termination, or exercise any one or more of its rights and
remedies under this Lease or any of the other Lease Documents, or as available
at law or in equity and upon the expiration of the time fixed in such notice,
the Term shall terminate (but only if the Lessor shall have specifically
elected by a written notice to so terminate the Lease) and all rights of the
Lessee under this Lease shall cease.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event of the Lessee's failure to pay Rent, if such Rent remains unpaid beyond
ten (10) days from the due date thereof, the Lessor shall not be obligated to
give ten (10) days notice of such termination or exercise of any of its other
rights and remedies under this Lease, or the other Lease Documents, or
otherwise available at law or in equity, and the Lessor shall be at liberty to
pursue any one or more of such rights or remedies without further notice.  No
taking of possession of the Leased Property by or on behalf of  the Lessor, and
no other act done by or on behalf of the Lessor, shall constitute an acceptance
of surrender of the Leased Property by the Lessee or reduce the Lessee's
obligations under this Lease or the other Lease Documents, unless otherwise
expressly agreed to in a written document signed by an authorized officer or
agent of the Lessor.





                                      -86-
<PAGE>   98
        (b)     To the extent permitted under applicable law, the Lessee shall
pay as Additional Charges all costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, attorneys' fee and expenses) reasonably incurred by or on behalf of
the Lessor as a result of any Lease Default.

        (c)     If any Lease Default shall have occurred, whether or not this
Lease has been terminated pursuant to Paragraph (a) of this Section, the Lessee
shall, to the extent permitted under applicable law, if required by the Lessor
so to do, upon not less than ten (10) days' prior notice from the Lessor,
immediately surrender to the Lessor the Leased Property pursuant to the
provisions of Paragraph (a) of this Section and quit the same, and the Lessor
may enter upon and repossess the Leased Property by reasonable force, summary
proceedings, ejectment or otherwise, and may remove the Lessee and all other
Persons and any and all of the Tangible Personal Property from the Leased
Property, subject to the rights of any residents or patients of the Facility
and to any requirements of applicable law, or the Lessor may claim ownership of
the Tangible Personal Property as set forth in Section 5.2.3 hereof or the
Lessor may exercise its rights as secured party under the Security Agreement.
The Lessor shall use reasonable, good faith efforts to relet the Leased
Property or otherwise mitigate damages suffered by the Lessor as a result of
the Lessee's breach of this Lease.

        (d)     In addition to all of the rights and remedies of the Lessor set
forth in this Lease and the other Lease Documents, if the Lessee shall fail to
pay any rental or other charge due hereunder (whether denominated as Base Rent,
Additional Rent, Additional Charges or otherwise) within ten (10) days after
same shall have become due and payable, then and in such event the Lessee shall
also pay to the Lessor (I) a late payment service charge (in order to partially
defray the Lessor's administrative and other overhead expenses) equal to two
hundred-fifty ($250) dollars and (II) to the extent permitted by applicable
law, interest on such unpaid sum at the Overdue Rate; it being understood,
however, that nothing herein shall be deemed to extend the due date for payment
of any sums required to be paid by the Lessee hereunder or to relieve the
Lessee of its obligation to pay such sums at the time or times required by this
Lease.

        16.3    DAMAGES.  None of (a) the termination of this Lease pursuant to
Section 16.2, (b) the eviction of the Lessee or the repossession of the Leased
Property, (c) the failure or inability of the Lessor, notwithstanding
reasonable good faith efforts, to relet the Leased Property, (d) the reletting
of the Leased Property or (e) the failure of the Lessor to collect or receive
any rentals due upon any such reletting, shall relieve the Lessee of its
liability and obligations hereunder, all of which shall survive any such
termination, repossession or reletting.  In any such event, the Lessee shall
forthwith pay to the Lessor all Rent due and payable with respect to the Leased
Property to and including the date of such termination, repossession or
eviction.  Thereafter, the Lessee shall forthwith pay to the Lessor, at the
Lessor's option, either:

     (i)        the sum of: (x) all Rent that is due and unpaid at later to
                occur of termination, repossession or eviction, together with
                interest thereon at the Overdue Rate to the date of payment,
                plus (y) the worth (calculated in the manner stated below) of
                the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term
                after the later to





                                      -87-
<PAGE>   99
                occur of the termination, repossession or eviction exceeds the
                fair market rental value of the Leased Property for the balance
                of the Term, plus (z) any other amount necessary to compensate
                the Lessor for all damage proximately caused by the Lessee's
                failure to perform the Lease Obligations or which in the
                ordinary course would be likely to result therefrom; or

    (II)        each payment of Rent as the same would have become due and
                payable if the Lessee's right of possession or other rights
                under this Lease had not been terminated, or if the Lessee had
                not been evicted, or if the Leased Property had not been
                repossessed which Rent, to the extent permitted by law, shall
                bear interest at the Overdue Rate from the date when due until
                the date paid, and the Lessor may enforce, by action or
                otherwise, any other term or covenant of this Lease.  There
                shall be credited against the Lessee's obligation under this
                Clause (ii) amounts actually collected by the Lessor from
                another tenant to whom the Leased Property may have actually
                been leased or, if the Lessor is operating the Leased Property
                for its own account, the Actual Cash Flow of the Leased
                Property.

        In making the determinations described in subparagraph (i) above, the
"worth" of unpaid Rent shall be determined by a court having jurisdiction
thereof using the lowest rate of capitalization (highest present worth)
reasonably applicable at the time of such determination and allowed by
applicable law and the Additional Rent shall be deemed to be the same as the
average Additional Rent of the preceding five (5) full calendar years, or if
shorter, the average Additional Rent for the calendar years or portions thereof
since the date that Additional Rent commenced to accrue or such other amount as
either party shall prove reasonably could have been earned during the remainder
of the Term or any portion thereof.

        16.4    LESSEE WAIVERS.  If this Lease is terminated pursuant to
Section 16.2, the Lessee waives, to the extent not prohibited by applicable
law, (a) any right of redemption, re-entry or repossession, (b) any right to a
trial by jury in the event of summary proceedings to enforce the remedies set
forth in this Article 16, and (c) the benefit of any laws now or hereafter in
force exempting property from liability for rent or for debt.

        16.5    APPLICATION OF FUNDS.  Any payments otherwise payable to the
Lessee which are received by the Lessor under any of the provisions of this
Lease during the existence or continuance of any Lease Default shall be applied
to the Lease Obligations in the order which the Lessor may reasonably determine
or as may be required by the laws of the State.

        16.6    FAILURE TO CONDUCT BUSINESS.  For the purpose of determining
rental loss damages or Additional Rent, in the event the Lessee fails to
conduct business upon the Leased Property, exact damages or the amount of
Additional Rent being unascertainable, it shall be deemed that the Additional
Rent for such period would be equal to the average annual Additional Rent
during the five (5) preceding calendar years or such shorter period of time as
may have existed between the date Additional Rent commenced to accrue and the
date of computation.





                                      -88-
<PAGE>   100
        16.7    LESSOR'S RIGHT TO CURE.  If the Lessee shall fail to make any
payment, or to perform any act required to be made or performed under this
Lease and to cure the same within the relevant time periods provided in Section
16.1, the Lessor, after five (5) Business Days' prior notice to the Lessee
(except in an emergency when such shorter notice shall be given as is
reasonable under the circumstances), and without waiving or releasing any
obligation or Event of Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) at
any time thereafter make such payment or perform such act for the account and
at the expense of the Lessee, and may, to the extent permitted by law, enter
upon the Leased Property for such purpose and take all such action thereon as,
in the Lessor's opinion, may be necessary or appropriate therefor.  No such
entry shall be deemed an eviction of the Lessee.  All sums so paid by the
Lessor and all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses, in each case, to the extent permitted by law) so
incurred shall be paid by the Lessee to the Lessor on demand as an Additional
Charge.  The obligations of the Lessee and rights of the Lessor contained in
this Article shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

        16.8    NO WAIVER BY LESSOR.  The Lessor shall not by any act, delay,
omission or otherwise (including, without limitation, the exercise of any right
or remedy hereunder) be deemed to have waived any of its right or remedies
hereunder or under any of the other Lease Documents unless such waiver is in
writing and signed by the Lessor, and then, only to the extent specifically set
forth therein.  No waiver at any time of any of the terms, conditions,
covenants, representations or warranties set forth in any of the Lease
Documents (including, without limitation, any of the time periods set forth
therein for the performance of the Lease Obligations) shall be construed as a
waiver of any other term, condition, covenant, representation or warranty of
any of the Lease Documents, nor shall such a waiver in any one instance or
circumstances be construed as a waiver of the same term, condition, covenant,
representation or warranty in any subsequent instance or circumstance.  No such
failure, delay or waiver shall be construed as creating a requirement that the
Lessor must thereafter, as a result of such failure, delay or waiver, give
notice to the Lessee, any guarantor of the Lease Obligations, or any other
Person that the Lessor does not intend to, or may not, give a further waiver or
to refrain from insisting upon the strict performance of the terms, conditions,
covenants, representations and warranties set forth in the Lease Documents
before the Lessor can exercise any of its rights or remedies under any of the
Lease Documents or before any Lease Default can occur, or as establishing a
course of dealing for interpreting the conduct of and agreements between the
Lessor and the Lessee, any guarantor of the Lease Obligations or any other
Person.

        The acceptance by the Lessor of any payment that is less than payment
in full of all amounts then due under any of the Lease Documents at the time of
the making of such payment shall not: (a) constitute a waiver of the right to
exercise any of the Lessor's remedies at that time or at any subsequent time,
(b) constitute an accord and satisfaction or (c) nullify any prior exercise of
any remedy, without the express written consent of the Lessor.  Any failure by
the Lessor to take any action under this Lease or any of the other Lease
Documents by reason of a default hereunder or thereunder, any acceptance of a
past due installment, or any indulgence granted from time to time shall not be
construed (i) as a novation of this Lease or any of the other





                                      -89-
<PAGE>   101
Lease Documents, (ii) as a waiver of any right of the Lessor thereafter to
insist upon strict compliance with the terms of this Lease or any of the other
Lease Documents or (iii) to prevent the exercise of any right of acceleration or
any other right granted hereunder or under applicable law; and to the maximum
extent not prohibited by applicable law, the Lessor hereby expressly waives the
benefit of any statute or rule of law or equity now provided, or which may
hereafter be provided, which would produce a result contrary to or in conflict
with the foregoing.

        16.9    RIGHT OF FORBEARANCE.  Whether or not for consideration paid or
payable to the Lessor and, except as may be otherwise specifically agreed to by
the Lessor in writing, no forbearance on the part of the Lessor, no extension
of the time for the payment of the whole or any part of the Obligations, and no
other indulgence given by the Lessor to the Lessee or any other Person, shall
operate to release or in any manner affect the original liability of the Lessee
or such other Persons, or to limit, prejudice or impair any right of the
Lessor, including, without limitation, the right to realize upon any
collateral, or any part thereof, for any of the Obligations evidenced or
secured by the Lease Documents; notice of any such extension, forbearance or
indulgence being hereby waived by the Lessee and all those claiming by, through
or under the Lessee.

        16.10   CUMULATIVE REMEDIES.  The rights and remedies set forth under
this Lease are in addition to all other rights and remedies afforded to the
Lessor under any of the other Lease Documents or at law or in equity, all of
which are hereby reserved by the Lessor, and this Lease is made and accepted
without prejudice to any such rights and remedies.  All of the rights and
remedies of the Lessor under each of the Lease Documents shall be separate and
cumulative and may be exercised concurrently or successively in the Lessor's
sole and absolute discretion.


                                   ARTICLE 17

              SURRENDER OF LEASED PROPERTY OR LEASE; HOLDING OVER

        17.1    SURRENDER.  The Lessee shall, upon the expiration or prior
termination of the Term (unless the Lessee has concurrently purchased the
Leased Property in accordance with the terms hereof), vacate and surrender the
Leased Property to the Lessor in good repair and condition, in compliance with
all Legal Requirements, all Insurance Requirements, and in compliance with the
provisions of Article 8, except for: (a) ordinary wear and tear (subject to the
obligation of the Lessee to maintain the Leased Property in good order and
repair during the entire Term of the Lease), (b) damage caused by the gross
negligence or willful acts of the Lessor, and (c) any damage or destruction
resulting from a Casualty or Taking that the Lessee is not required by the
terms of this Lease to repair or restore.

        17.2    TRANSFER OF PERMITS AND CONTRACTS.  In connection with the
expiration or any earlier termination of this Lease (unless the Lessee has
concurrently purchased the Leased Property in accordance with the terms
hereof), upon any request made from time to time by the





                                      -90-
<PAGE>   102
Lessor, the Lessee shall (a) promptly and diligently use its best efforts to
(i) transfer and assign all Permits and Contracts necessary or desirable for
the operation of the Leased Property in accordance with its Primary Intended
Lease to the Lessor or its designee and/or (ii) arrange for the transfer or
assignment of such Permits and Contracts to the Lessor or its designee, all to
the extent the same may be transferred or assigned under applicable law and (b)
cooperate in every respect (and to the fullest extent possible) and assist the
Lessor or its designee in obtaining such Permits and Contracts (whether by
transfer, assignment or otherwise).  Such efforts and cooperation on the part
of the Lessee shall include, without limitation, the execution, delivery and
filing with appropriate Governmental Authorities and Third Party Payors of any
applications, petitions, statements, notices, requests, assignments and other
documents or instruments requested by the Lessor.  Furthermore, the Lessee
shall not take any action or refrain from taking any action which would defer,
delay or jeopardize the process of the Lessor or its designee obtaining said
Permits and Contracts (whether by transfer, assignment or otherwise).  Without
limiting the foregoing, the Lessee shall not seek to transfer or relocate any
of said Permits or Contracts to any location other than the Leased Property.
The provisions of this Section 17.2 shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease.

        The Lessee hereby appoints the Lessor as its attorney-in-fact, with
full power of substitution to take such actions, in the event that the Lessee
fails to comply with any request made by the Lessor hereunder, as the Lessor
(in its sole absolute discretion) may deem necessary or desirable to effectuate
the intent of this Section 17.2.  The power of attorney conferred on the Lessor
by the provisions of this Section 17.2, being coupled with an interest, shall
be irrevocable until the Obligations are fully paid and performed and shall not
be affected by any disability or incapacity which the Lessee may suffer and
shall survive the same.  Such power of attorney is provided solely to protect
the interests of the Lessor and shall not impose any duty on the Lessor to
exercise any such power and neither the Lessor nor such attorney-in-fact shall
be liable for any act, omission, error in judgment or mistake of law, except as
the same may result from its gross negligence or willful misconduct.

        17.3    NO ACCEPTANCE OF SURRENDER.  Except at the expiration of the
Term in the ordinary course, no surrender to the Lessor of this Lease or of the
Leased Property or any interest therein shall be valid or effective unless
agreed to and accepted in writing by the Lessor and no act by the Lessor or any
representative or agent of the Lessor, other than such a written acceptance by
the Lessor, shall constitute an acceptance of any such surrender.

        17.4    HOLDING OVER.  If, for any reason, the Lessee shall remain in
possession of the Leased Property after the expiration or any earlier
termination of the Term, such possession shall be as a tenant at sufferance
during which time the Lessee shall pay as rental each month, one and one-half
times the aggregate of (i) one-twelfth of the aggregate Base Rent and
Additional Rent payable at the time of such expiration or earlier termination
of the Term; (ii) all Additional Charges accruing during the month and (iii)
all other sums, if any, payable by the Lessee pursuant to the provisions of
this Lease with respect to the Leased Property.   During such period of
tenancy, the Lessee shall be obligated to perform and observe all of the terms,
covenants and





                                      -91-
<PAGE>   103
conditions of this Lease, but shall have no rights hereunder other than the
right, to the extent given by law to tenants at sufferance, to continue its
occupancy and use of the Leased Property.  Nothing contained herein shall
constitute the consent, express or implied, of the Lessor to the holding over
of the Lessee after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.


                                   ARTICLE 18

                        PURCHASE OF THE LEASED PROPERTY

        18.1    PURCHASE OF THE LEASED PROPERTY.  In the event the Lessee
purchases the Leased Property from the Lessor pursuant to any of the terms of
this Lease, the Lessor shall, upon receipt from the Lessee of the applicable
purchase price, together with full payment of any unpaid Rent due and payable
with respect to any period ending on or before the date of the purchase,
deliver to the Lessee a deed with covenants only against acts of the Lessor
conveying the entire interest of the Lessor in and to the Leased Property to
the Lessee subject to all Legal Requirements, all of the matters described in
clauses (a), (b), (e) and (g) of Section 11.5.2, Impositions, any Liens created
by the Lessee, any Liens created in accordance with the terms of this Lease or
consented to by the Lessee, the claims of all Persons claiming by through or
under the Lessee, any other matters assented to by the Lessee and all matters
for which the Lessee has responsibility under any of the Lease Documents, but
otherwise not subject to any other Lien created by the Lessor from and after
the Commencement Date (other than an Encumbrance permitted under Article 20
which the Lessee elects to assume).  The applicable purchase price shall be
paid in cash to the Lessor, or as the Lessor may direct, in federal or other
immediately available funds except as otherwise mutually agreed by the Lessor
and the Lessee.  All expenses of such conveyance, including, without
limitation, title examination costs, standard (and extended) coverage title
insurance premiums, attorneys' fees incurred by the Lessor in connection with
such conveyance, recording and transfer taxes and recording fees and other
similar charges shall be paid by the Lessee.

        18.2    APPRAISAL.

                18.2.1      DETERMINATION OF FAIR MARKET VALUE; DESIGNATION OF
        APPRAISERS.

                (a)   In the event that it becomes necessary to determine the
        Fair Market Value of the Leased Property for any purpose of this Lease,
        the parties will, in good faith, attempt to agree on the Fair Market
        Value of the Leased Property.

                (b)  If despite such good faith attempt, the parties are unable
        to so agree, then the party required or permitted to give notice of
        such required determination shall include in the notice the name of a
        Person selected to act as appraiser on its behalf.  Within ten (10)
        days after receipt of any such notice, the Lessor (or the Lessee, as
        the case may be) shall





                                      -92-
<PAGE>   104
        by notice to the Lessee (or the Lessor, as the case may be) appoint a
        second Person as appraiser on its behalf.

                18.2.2      APPRAISAL PROCESS.  The appraisers thus appointed,
        each of whom must be a member of the American Institute of Real Estate
        Appraisers (or any successor organization thereto), shall, within
        forty-five (45) days after the date of the notice appointing the first
        appraiser, proceed to appraise the Leased Property to determine the
        Fair Market Value of the Leased Property as of the relevant date
        (giving effect to the impact, if any, of inflation from the date of
        their decision to the relevant date); provided, however, that if only
        one appraiser shall have been so appointed, or if two appraisers shall
        have been so appointed but only one such appraiser shall have made such
        determination within fifty (50) days after the making of the Lessee's
        or the Lessor's request, then the determination of such appraiser shall
        be final and binding upon the parties.  If two appraisers shall have
        been appointed and shall have made their determinations within the
        respective requisite periods set forth above and if the difference
        between the amounts so determined shall not exceed ten per cent (10%)
        of the lesser of such amounts, then the Fair Market Value of the Leased
        Property shall be an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the sum of
        the amounts so determined.  If the difference between the amounts so
        determined shall exceed ten percent (10%) of the lesser of such
        amounts, then such two appraisers shall have twenty (20) days to
        appoint a third appraiser, but if such appraisers fail to do so, then
        either party may request the American Arbitration Association or any
        successor organization thereto to appoint an appraiser within twenty
        (20) days of such request, and both parties shall be bound by any
        appointment so made within such twenty (20) day period.  If no such
        appraiser shall have been appointed within such twenty (20) days or
        within ninety (90) days of the original request for a determination of
        Fair Market Value of the Leased Property, whichever is earlier, either
        the Lessor or the Lessee may apply to any court having jurisdiction to
        have such appointment made by such court.  Any appraiser appointed by
        the original appraisers, by the American Arbitration Association or by
        such court shall be instructed to determine the Fair Market Value of
        the Leased Property within thirty (30) days after appointment of such
        Appraiser.  The determination of the appraiser which differs most in
        terms of dollar amount from the determinations of the other two
        appraisers shall be excluded, and fifty percent (50%) of the sum of the
        remaining two determinations shall be final and binding upon the Lessor
        and the Lessee as the Fair Market Value of the Leased Property.

                18.2.3      SPECIFIC ENFORCEMENT AND COSTS.  This provision for
        determination by appraisal shall be specifically enforceable to the
        extent such remedy is available under applicable law, and any
        determination hereunder shall be final and binding upon the parties
        except as otherwise provided by applicable law.  The Lessor and the
        Lessee shall each pay the fees and expenses of the appraiser appointed
        by it and each shall pay one-half of the fees and expenses of the third
        appraiser and one-half of all other cost and expenses incurred in
        connection with each appraisal.

                18.4        LESSEE'S OPTION TO PURCHASE.

                18.4.1      CONDITIONS TO OPTION.  On the conditions (which
        conditions the Lessor may waive, at its sole option, by notice to the
        Lessee at any time) that (A) at the time of exercise of the Purchase
        Option and on the applicable Purchase Option Date, there then exists no
        Lease Default, nor any state of facts or circumstance which
        constitutes, or with the passage of time and/or the giving of notice,
        would constitute a Lease Default and (B) the Lessee strictly complies
        with the provisions of this Section 18.4, then the Lessee shall have
        the option to purchase the Leased Property, at the price and upon the
        terms hereinafter set forth (the "Purchase Option").

                18.4.2      EXERCISE OF OPTION.   The Purchase Option shall
        permit the Lessee to purchase the Leased Property (a) on the last day
        of the Initial Term or (b) on the last day of any Extended Term
        effectively exercised by the Lessee (each of such dates are referred to
        herein as a "Purchase Option Date") and shall be exercised by notice
        given by the Lessee to the Lessor (the "Lessee's Purchase Option
        Notice") at least one hundred eighty (180) days (but not more than two
        hundred seventy (270) days) prior to the relevant Purchase Option Date.
        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, the
        Lessee's right to purchase the Leased Property is subject to the
        further conditions that (i) concurrently with the exercise of the
        option set forth under this Section 18.4, the Lessee shall have
        exercised its right to purchase the premises demised under each of the
        Related Leases in accordance with the provisions of Section 18.4 of
        each of the Related Leases and (ii) the conveyance of the Leased
        Property pursuant to the provisions of this Section 18.4 shall occur
        simultaneously with the conveyance of the premises demised under each
        of the Related Leases pursuant to Section 18.4 of each of the Related
        Leases.  Once given, the Lessee shall have no right to rescind the
        Lessee's Purchase Option Notice, except in accordance with the
        provisions of Section 18.4.5.

                18.4.3      CONVEYANCE.  If the Purchase Option is exercised by
        the Lessee in accordance with the terms hereof, the Leased Property
        shall be conveyed by a good and sufficient deed with covenants only
        against acts of the Lessor (the "Deed") running to the Lessee or to
        such grantee as the Lessee may designate by notice to the Lessor at
        least seven (7) days before the Time of Closing.

                18.4.4      CALCULATION OF ACQUISITION PURCHASE PRICE.  The
        price to be paid by the Lessee for the acquisition of the Leased
        Property pursuant to this Purchase Option (the "Acquisition Purchase
        Price") shall be equal to the greater of (a) the Meditrust Investment
        or (b) an amount equal to the then Fair Market Value of the Leased
        Property minus the Fair Market Added Value.

                18.4.5      LIMITED RIGHT TO RESCIND LESSEE'S PURCHASE OPTION
        NOTICE.  Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding,
        Lessee shall have the limited right to cancel and rescind  Lessee's
        Purchase Option Notice by giving Lessor written notice thereof on or
        before the date which is ten (10) Business Days from the date the
        Lessee is notified of the Acquisition Purchase Price.  Any such
        rescission shall be deemed to automatically rescind Lessee's Purchase
        Option Notice, as defined in and with respect to each of the Related
        Leases.  If Lessee shall so rescind a Lessee's Purchase Option Notice,
        Lessor shall have the option, by giving Lessee written notice on or
        before the date which is twenty (20) Business Days from its receipt of
        any such notice of cancellation and rescission, to extend the then
        current Term for a period of up to twelve (12) additional months, as
        specified in such notice, at the then applicable Base Rent and upon all
        of the other terms and provisions set forth in this Lease (except for
        the Purchase Option, which shall automatically thereupon terminate),
        and upon the giving of such notice of extension by Lessor, the then
        current Term shall be automatically so extended for the period set
        forth in such notice without the need to exchange or enter into any
        other documents or instruments.

                18.4.6      PAYMENT OF ACQUISITION PURCHASE PRICE.  The
        Acquisition Purchase Price shall be paid by the Lessee at the Time of
        Closing by certified, cashier's, treasurer's or bank check(s) or wire
        transfer pursuant to instructions received from the Lessor.

                18.4.7      PLACE AND TIME OF CLOSING.  If the Purchase Option
        is exercised, the closing shall occur and the Deed shall be delivered
        (the "Closing") at the office of the Lessor at 12:00 o'clock noon
        (E.S.T.) on the applicable Purchase Option Date (such time, as the same
        may be extended by mutual written agreement of the Lessor and the
        Lessee, being hereinafter referred to as the "Time of Closing").  It is
        agreed that time is of the essence of the Purchase Option.

                18.4.8      CONDITION OF LEASED PROPERTY.  The Leased Property
        is to be purchased "AS IS" and "WHERE IS" as of the Time of Closing.

                18.4.9      QUALITY OF TITLE.  If the Lessor shall be unable to
        give title or to make conveyance, as stipulated in this Section 18.4,
        then, at the Lessor's option, the Lessor shall use reasonable efforts
        to remove all defects in title and the applicable Purchase Option Date
        and Time of Closing shall be extended for period of thirty (30) days.
        The Lessor shall not be required to expend more than FIFTY THOUSAND
        DOLLARS ($50,000) (inclusive of attorney's fees) in order to have used
        "reasonable efforts."

                18.4.10     LESSOR'S INABILITY TO PERFORM.  If at the
        expiration of the extended time the Lessor shall have failed so to
        remove any such defects in title, then all other obligations of all
        parties hereto under Section 18.4 shall cease and Section 18.4 hereof
        shall be void and without recourse to the parties hereto, except that
        the Lessee, at its option, may, by written notice to Lessor given at
        least ten (10) Business Days prior to the





                                      -95-
<PAGE>   107
        expiration of such extended time, extend the then current Term by a
        period of up to six (6) additional months, as specified in such notice,
        at the then applicable Base Rent and upon all of the other terms and
        provisions set forth in this Lease, in which event, upon the giving of
        such notice, the Term shall automatically be extended for the period of
        time set forth in such notice.  If Lessor's actions or inactions shall
        not have caused the occurrence of such title defects, then (a) upon any
        such extension of this Lease (i) Section 18.4 of each of the Related
        Leases shall cease and be void and without recourse to the parties
        thereto and (ii) the Term of each of the Related Leases shall
        automatically be deemed to be concurrently extended to be coterminous
        with the Term hereof and (b) in such case, nothing shall impair,
        detract or derogate from Lessee's obligations to satisfy, among other
        things, the conditions set forth in causes (i) and (ii) of Section
        18.4.2.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lessee shall have the
        election, at either the original or extended Purchase Option Date and
        Time of Closing, to accept such title as the Lessor can deliver to the
        Leased Property in its then condition and to pay therefor the
        Acquisition Purchase Price without reduction, in which case the Lessor
        shall convey such title; provided, that, in the event of such
        conveyance, if any portion of the Leased Property shall have been taken
        by Condemnation prior to the applicable Purchase Option Date and Time
        of Closing, the Lessor shall pay over or assign to the Lessee at the
        Time of Closing, all Awards recovered on account of such Taking, less
        any amounts reasonably expended by the Lessor in obtaining such Awards,
        or, to the extent such Awards have not been recovered as of the
        applicable Purchase Option Date and Time of Closing, the Lessor shall
        assign to the Lessee all its rights with respect to any claim therefor.

                18.4.11     MERGER BY DEED.  The acceptance of the Deed by the
        Lessee or the grantee designated by the Lessee, as the case may be,
        shall be deemed to be a full performance and discharge of every
        agreement and obligation to be performed by the Lessor contained or
        expressed in this Lease.

                18.4.12     USE OF ACQUISITION PURCHASE PRICE TO CLEAR TITLE.
        To enable the Lessor to make conveyance as provided in this Section,
        the Lessor may, at the Time of Closing, use the Acquisition Purchase
        Price or any portion thereof to clear the title of any Lien, provided
        that all instruments so procured are recorded contemporaneously with
        the Closing or reasonable arrangements are made for a recording
        subsequent to the Time of Closing in accordance with customary
        conveyancing practices.

                18.4.13     LESSEE'S DEFAULT.  If the Lessee delivers the
        Lessee's Purchase Option Notice and fails to consummate the purchase of
        the Leased Property in accordance with the terms hereof for any reason
        other than the Lessor's willful and unexcused refusal to deliver the
        Deed, (a) the Lessee shall thereafter have no further right to purchase
        the Leased Property pursuant to this Section, although this Lease shall
        otherwise continue in full force and effect and (b) the Lessor shall
        have the right to sue for specific performance of the Lessee's
        obligations to purchase the Leased Property provided such suit for
        specific performance is commenced within one (1) year after the
        applicable Purchase Option Date





                                      -96-
<PAGE>   108
        on which such sale was supposed to occur and provided further that the
        Lessor also sues for specific performance, if applicable, under the
        Related Leases.


                                   ARTICLE 19

                           SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT

        19.1    SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT.  Except as specifically set forth in
Section 19.2 below, the Lessee may not, without the prior written consent of
the Lessor, which consent may be withheld in the Lessor's sole and absolute
discretion, assign or pledge all or any portion of its interest in this Lease
or any of the other Lease Documents (whether by operation of law or otherwise)
or sublet all or any part of the Leased Property.  For purposes of this Section
19.1, the term "assign" shall be deemed to include, but not be limited to, any
one or more sales, pledges, hypothecations or other transfers (including,
without limitation, any transfer by operation of law) of any of the capital
stock of or partnership interest in the Lessee or sales, pledges,
hypothecations or other transfers (including, without limitation, any transfer
by operation of law) of the capital or the assets of the Lessee.  Any such
assignment, pledge, sale, hypothecation or other transfer made without the
Lessor's consent shall be void and of no force and effect.

        19.2    RESIDENT AGREEMENTS.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lessee
shall have the right to enter into Resident Agreements and the subleases set
forth in Schedule 19.2 hereto without the prior consent of the Lessor.

        19.3    INTENTIONALLY OMITTED

        19.4    PERMITTED ASSIGNMENTS. Lessee shall not transfer (directly or
indirectly) any portion of Lessee's interest in the Lease by assignment,
sublease or otherwise, or the sale, conveyance, disposition or other transfer
(directly or indirectly) of any interest in the Lessee, including, without
limitation, any change in the person or persons presently in control of the
Lessee, whether by operation of law or otherwise.

                  TITLE TRANSFERS AND LIENS GRANTED BY LESSOR

        20.1    NO MERGER OF TITLE.  There shall be no merger of this Lease or
of the leasehold estate created hereby with the fee estate in the Leased
Property by reason of the fact that the same Person may acquire, own or hold,
directly or indirectly (a) this Lease or the leasehold estate created hereby or
any interest in this Lease or such leasehold estate and (b) the fee estate in
the Leased Property.

<PAGE>   109
        20.2    TRANSFERS BY LESSOR.  If the original Lessor named herein or
any successor in interest shall convey the Leased Property in accordance with
the terms hereof, other than as security for a debt, and the grantee or
transferee of the Leased Property shall expressly assume all obligations of the
Lessor hereunder arising or accruing from and after the date of such conveyance
or transfer, the original Lessor named herein or the applicable successor in
interest so conveying the Leased Property shall thereupon be released from all
future liabilities and obligations of the Lessor under this Lease arising or
accruing from and after the date of such conveyance or other transfer as to the
Leased Property and all such future liabilities and obligations shall thereupon
be binding upon the new owner.  In the event of any such conveyance, the
original Lessor or any successor in interest, as the case may be, will transfer
to such grantee or transferee all monies, if any, which are being held by such
Person as deposits hereunder and the original Lessor or such successor who is
so transferring its interest will notify Lessee of such transfer as soon as is
practicable.

        20.3    LESSOR MAY GRANT LIENS.  Without the consent of the Lessee, but
subject to the terms and conditions set forth below in this Section 20.3, the
Lessor may, from time to time, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise
cause to exist any lien, encumbrance or title retention agreement upon the
Leased Property or any interest therein ("Encumbrance"), whether to secure any
borrowing or other means of financing or refinancing, provided that the Lessee
shall have no obligation to make payments under such Encumbrances.  The Lessee
shall subordinate this Lease to the lien of any such Encumbrance, on the
condition that the beneficiary or holder of such Encumbrance executes a
non-disturbance agreement in conformity with the provisions of Section 20.4.
To the extent that any such Encumbrance consists of a mortgage or deed of trust
on the Lessor's interest in the Leased Property the same shall be referred to
herein as a "Fee Mortgage" and the holder thereof shall be referred to herein
as a "Fee Mortgagee".

        20.4    SUBORDINATION AND NON-DISTURBANCE.  Concurrently with the
execution and delivery of any Fee Mortgage entered into after the date hereof,
provided that the Lessee executes and delivers an agreement of the type
described in the following paragraph, the Lessor shall obtain and deliver to
the Lessee an agreement by the holder of such Fee Mortgage, pursuant to which,
(a) the applicable Fee Mortgagee consents to this Lease and (b) agrees that,
notwithstanding the terms of the applicable Fee Mortgage held by such Fee
Mortgagee, or any default, expiration, termination, foreclosure, sale, entry or
other act or omission under or pursuant to such Fee Mortgage or a transfer in
lieu of foreclosure, (i) the Lessee shall not be disturbed in peaceful
enjoyment of the Leased Property nor shall this Lease be terminated or canceled
at any time, except in the event that the Lessor shall have the right to
terminate this Lease under the terms and provisions expressly set forth herein,
(ii) the Lessee's option to purchase the Leased Property shall remain in force
and effect pursuant to the terms hereof and (iii) in the event that the Lessee
elects its option to purchase the Leased Property and performs all of its
obligations hereunder in connection with any such election, the holder of the
Fee Mortgage shall release its Fee Mortgage upon payment by the Lessee of the
applicable purchase price required hereunder, provided, that (1) such purchase
price is paid to the holder of the Fee Mortgage, in the event that the
Indebtedness secured by the applicable Fee Mortgage is equal to





                                      -98-
<PAGE>   110
or greater than such purchase price or (2) in the event that such purchase
price is greater than the Indebtedness secured by the Fee Mortgage, a portion
of such purchase price equal to the Indebtedness secured by the Fee Mortgage is
paid to the Fee Mortgagee and the remainder of the purchase price is paid to
the Lessor.

        At the request from time to time by any Fee Mortgagee, the Lessee shall
(a) subordinate this Lease and all of the Lessee's rights and estate hereunder
to the Fee Mortgage held by such Fee Mortgagee and (b) agree that the Lessee
will attorn to and recognize such Fee Mortgagee or the purchaser at any
foreclosure sale or any sale under a power of sale contained in any such Fee
Mortgage as the Lessor under this Lease for the balance of the Term then
remaining.  To effect the intent and purpose of the immediately preceding
sentence, the Lessee agrees to execute and deliver such instruments in
recordable form as are reasonably requested by the Lessor or the applicable Fee
Mortgagee; provided, however, that such Fee Mortgagee simultaneously executes,
delivers and records a written agreement of the type described in the preceding
paragraph.


                                   ARTICLE 21

                               LESSOR OBLIGATIONS

        21.1    QUIET ENJOYMENT.  As long as the Lessee shall pay all Rent and
all other sums due under any of the Lease Documents as the same become due and
shall fully comply with all of the terms of this Lease and the other Lease
Documents and fully perform its obligations thereunder, the Lessee shall
peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Leased Property throughout the
Term, free of any claim or other action by the Lessor or anyone claiming by,
through or under the Lessor, but subject to the Permitted Encumbrances and such
Liens as may hereafter be consented to by the Lessee.  No failure by the Lessor
to comply with the foregoing covenant shall give the Lessee any right to cancel
or terminate this Lease, or to fail to perform any other sum payable under this
Lease, or to fail to perform any other obligation of the Lessee hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lessee shall have the right by separate and
independent action to pursue any claim it may have against the Lessor as a
result of a breach by the Lessor of the covenant of quiet enjoyment contained
in this Article 21.

        21.2    MEMORANDUM OF LEASE.  The Lessor and the Lessee shall, promptly
upon the request of either, enter into a short form memorandum of this Lease,
in form suitable for recording under the laws of the State, in which reference
to this Lease and all options contained herein shall be made.  The Lessee shall
pay all recording costs and taxes associated therewith.

        21.3    DEFAULT BY LESSOR.  The Lessor shall be in default of its
obligations under this Lease only if the Lessor shall fail to observe or
perform any term, covenant or condition of this Lease on its part to be
performed and such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days
after notice thereof from the Lessee (or such shorter time as may be necessary
in order to protect the health or welfare of any residents of the Facility or
to insure the continuing compliance of the





                                      -99-
<PAGE>   111
Facility with the applicable Legal Requirements), unless such failure cannot
with due diligence be cured within a period of thirty (30) days, in which case
such failure shall not be deemed to continue if the Lessor, within said thirty
(30) day period, proceeds promptly and with due diligence to cure the failure
and diligently completes the curing thereof.  The time within which the Lessor
shall be obligated to cure any such failure shall also be subject to extension
of time due to the occurrence of any Unavoidable Delay.

                       LIMITATION OF MEDITRUST LIABILITY

        The Declaration of Trust establishing the sole shareholder of the
Lessor, Meditrust, a Massachusetts business trust ("Meditrust"), dated August
6, 1985 (the "Declaration"), as amended, a copy of which is duly filed in the
office of the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, provides
that the name "Meditrust" refers to the trustees under the Declaration
collectively as trustees, but not individually or personally; and that no
trustee, officer, shareholder, employee or agent of Meditrust or any of its
Subsidiaries shall be held to any personal liability, jointly, or severally,
for any obligation of, or claim against Meditrust or any of its Subsidiaries.
All Persons dealing with Meditrust or the Lessor, in any way, shall look only
to the assets of Meditrust or the Lessor, as applicable, for the payment of any
sum or the performance of any obligation.  Furthermore, in no event shall
Meditrust or the Lessor ever be liable to the Lessee or any other Person for
any indirect or consequential damages incurred by the Lessee or such other
Person resulting from any cause whatsoever.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Lessee hereby acknowledges and agrees that Meditrust is not a party to this
Lease and that the Lessee shall look only to the assets of the Lessor for the
payment of any sum or performance of any obligation due by or from the Lessor
pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Lease Documents.

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

        24.1    BROKER'S FEE INDEMNIFICATION.  The Lessee shall and hereby
agrees to indemnify, defend (with counsel acceptable to the Lessor) and hold
the Lessor harmless from and against any and all claims for premiums or other
charges, finder's fees, taxes, brokerage fees or commissions and other similar
compensation due in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by the
Lease Documents.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lessor shall have the
option of conducting its own defense against any such claims with counsel of
the Lessor's choice, but at the expense of the Lessee, as aforesaid.  This
indemnification shall include all attorneys' fees and expenses and court costs
reasonably incurred by the Lessor in connection with the defense against any
such claims and the enforcement of this indemnification agreement and shall
survive the termination of this Lease.

        24.2    NO JOINT VENTURE OR PARTNERSHIP.  Neither anything contained in
any of the Lease Documents, nor the acts of the parties hereto, shall create,
or be construed to create, a partnership or joint venture between the Lessor
and the Lessee.  The Lessee is not the agent or representative of the Lessor
and nothing contained herein or in any of the other Lease Documents shall make,
or be construed to make, the Lessor liable to any Person for goods delivered to
the Lessee, services performed with respect to the Leased Property at the
direction of the Lessee or for debts or claims accruing against the Lessee.

        24.3    AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS AND MODIFICATIONS.  Except as otherwise
expressly provided for herein or in any other Lease Document, none of the
terms, covenants, conditions, warranties or representations contained in this
Lease or in any of the other Lease Documents may be renewed, replaced, amended,
modified, extended, substituted, revised, waived, consolidated or terminated
except by an agreement in writing signed by (a) all parties to this Lease or
the other applicable Lease Document, as the case may be, with regard to any
such renewal, replacement, amendment, modification, extension, substitution,
revision, consolidation or termination and (b) the Person against whom
enforcement is sought with regard to any waiver.  The provisions of this Lease
and the other Lease Documents shall extend and be applicable to all renewals,
replacements, amendments, extensions, substitutions, revisions, consolidations
and modifications of any of the Lease Documents, the Related Party Agreements,
the Permits and/or the Contracts.  References herein and in the other Lease
Documents to any of the Lease Documents, the Related Party Agreements, the
Permits and/or the Contracts shall be deemed to include any renewals,
replacements, amendments, extensions, substitutions, revisions, consolidations
or modifications thereof.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, any reference contained in any of the
Lease Documents, whether express or implied, to any renewal, replacement,
amendment, extension, substitution, revisions, consolidation or modification of
any of the Lease Documents, Related Party Agreement, Permit and/or the Contract
is not intended to constitute an agreement or consent by





                                     -102-
<PAGE>   114
the Lessor to any such renewal, replacement, amendment, substitution, revision,
consolidation or modification; but, rather as a reference only to those
instances where the Lessor may give, agree or consent to any such renewal,
replacement, amendment, extension, substitution, revision, consolidation or
modification as the same may be required pursuant to the terms, covenants and
conditions of any of the Lease Documents.

        24.4    CAPTIONS AND HEADINGS.  The captions and headings set forth in
this Lease and each of the other Lease Documents are included for convenience
and reference only, and the words contained therein shall in no way be held or
deemed to define, limit, describe, explain, modify, amplify or add to the
interpretation, construction or meaning of, or the scope or intent of, this
Lease, any of the other Lease Documents or any parts hereof or thereof.

        24.5    TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE.  Time is of essence of each and every
term, condition, covenant and warranty set forth herein and in the other Lease
Documents.

        24.6    COUNTERPARTS.  This Lease may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which taken together shall constitute an original and all
of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.

        24.7    ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  This Lease and the other Lease Documents set
forth the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter
and shall supersede in all respect the letter of intent, dated December 4, 1996
(and all prior iterations thereof), from Meditrust to the Lessee.

        24.8    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, THE LESSOR AND THE LESSEE HEREBY MUTUALLY, KNOWINGLY,
VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT WHICH ANY PARTY HERETO MAY NOW OR
HEREAFTER HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE LEASE OR ANY OF THE LEASE DOCUMENTS.  The
Lessee hereby certifies that neither the Lessor nor any of the Lessor's
representatives, agents or counsel has represented expressly or otherwise that
the Lessor would not, in the event of any such suit, action or proceeding seek
to enforce this waiver to the right of trial by jury and acknowledges that the
Lessor has been induced by this waiver (among other things) to enter into the
transactions evidenced by this Lease and the other Lease Documents and further
acknowledges that the Lessee (a) has read the provisions of this Lease, and in
particular, the paragraph containing this waiver, (b) has consulted legal
counsel, (c) understands the rights that it is granting in this Lease and the
rights that it waiving in this paragraph in particular and (d) makes the
waivers set forth herein knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally.

        24.9    SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.  This Lease and the other Lease
Documents shall be binding and inure to the benefit of (a) upon the Lessee and
the Lessee's legal representatives and permitted successors and assigns and (b)
the Lessor and any other Person who may now or





                                     -103-
<PAGE>   115
hereafter hold the interest of the Lessor under this Lease and their respective
successors and assigns.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lessee shall not
assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any of the other
Lease Documents without the prior written consent of the Lessor, in each
instance, which consent may be withheld in the Lessor's sole and absolute
discretion.

        24.10   NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES.  This Lease and the other Lease
Documents are solely for the benefit of the Lessor, its successors, assigns and
participants (if any), the Meditrust Entities, the Indemnified Parties, the
Lessee, the Guarantor, the other members of the Leasing Group and their
respective permitted successors and assigns, and, except as otherwise expressly
set forth in any of the Lease Documents, nothing contained therein shall confer
upon any Person other than such parties any right to insist upon or to enforce
the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained therein.  All
conditions to the obligations of the Lessor to advance or make available
proceeds of insurance or Awards, or to release any deposits held for
Impositions or insurance premiums are imposed solely and exclusively for the
benefit of the Lessor, its successors and assigns.  No other Person shall have
standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their
terms, and no other Person shall, under any circumstances, be a beneficiary of
such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part
by the Lessor at any time, if, in the Lessor's sole and absolute discretion,
the Lessor deems it advisable or desirable to do so.

        24.11   GOVERNING LAW.  This Lease shall be construed and the rights
and obligations of the Lessor and the Lessee shall be determined in accordance
with the laws of the State.

        The Lessee hereby consents to personal jurisdiction in the courts of
the State and the United States District Court for the District in which the
Leased Property is situated as well as to the jurisdiction of all courts from
which an appeal may be taken from the aforesaid courts, for the purpose of any
suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or with respect to any of the
Lease Documents, the negotiation and/or consummation of the transactions
evidenced by the Lease Documents, the Lessor's relationship of any member of
the Leasing Group in connection with the transactions evidenced by the Lease
Documents and/or the performance of any obligation or the exercise of any
remedy under any of the Lease Documents and expressly waives any and all
objections the Lessee may have as to venue in any of such courts.

        24.12   GENERAL.  Anything contained in this Lease to the contrary
notwithstanding, all claims against, and liabilities of, the Lessee or the
Lessor arising prior to any date of termination of this Lease or any of the
other Lease Documents shall survive such termination.

        If any provision of this Lease or any of the other Lease Documents or
any application thereof shall be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of
this Lease or the other applicable Lease Document, as the case may be, and any
other application of such term or provision shall not be affected thereby.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of the parties hereto that
if any provision of any of this Lease is capable of two (2) constructions, one
of which would





                                     -104-
<PAGE>   116
render the provision void and the other of which would render the provision
valid, then such provision shall be construed in accordance with the
construction which renders such provision valid.

        If any late charges provided for in any provision of this Lease or any
of the other Lease Documents are based upon a rate in excess of the maximum
rate permitted by applicable law, the parties agree that such charges shall be
fixed at the maximum permissible rate.

and attested by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized.

Meditrust Acquisition Corporation III
197 First Avenue
Needham, Massachusetts  02194

Gentlemen:

       1 .       At the request and for the account of our customer, ARVIM,
Inc., a California corporation (the "Lessee"), we hereby establish in favor of
Meditrust Acquisition Corporation III, its successors and assigns (the
"Lessor"), as the holder of the landlord's interest under those certain
Facility Lease Agreements, dated as of February 26, 1997, executed by and
between the Lessor and the Lessee relating to certain premises located in the
States of California, Florida, Ohio and Michigan (hereinafter collectively
referred to as the "Leases"), this Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit No.
___________ (the "Letter of Credit"), in the amount of [_________________ ]
DOLLARS ($_______ ) (the "Stated Amount"), effective immediately and expiring
on _______________, 20__ (the "Expiration Date"), unless otherwise specifically
provided herein.

       2 .       We hereby irrevocably authorize you to draw on us, on one or
more occasions, in accordance with the terms and conditions hereinafter set
forth, an aggregate amount not exceeding the Stated Amount.

       3 .       Subject to the foregoing and the further provisions of this
Letter of Credit, a demand for payment may be made by you by presentation to
us, at our address set forth below, of your sight draft, accompanied by your
certificate signed by you in the form of EXHIBIT A attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference as a material part hereof, appropriately
completed.  The sight draft drawn under this Letter of Credit must bear on its
face the clause "Drawn under [INSERT NAME OF BANK] Irrevocable Standby Letter
of Credit No. ___  dated February ____,19__".  Such demand for payment shall be
presented to us at the following address:  [INSERT BANK'S ADDRESS, Attention:
_________________], or such other principal address as may hereafter be
established by [INSERT NAME OF BANK].  A demand for payment shall be deemed to
have been presented on the date actually received by us.

<PAGE>   122

EXHIBIT C
IRREVOCABLE LETTER OF CREDIT CONT'D

       4 .       Demand for payment may be made by you under this Letter of
Credit prior to the expiration hereof at any time on a Business Day (as
hereinafter defined) during our business hours at our aforesaid address or at
any other office which may be designated by us by written notice delivered to
you (at the address noted above or at any other such address as you or any
transferee permitted by the terms of this Letter of Credit may hereafter from
time to time designate in writing to us).  As used herein, the term "Business
Day" means any day except:  a Saturday, a Sunday, a public holiday or other day
on which commercial banks in <INSERT CITY/STATE WHERE BANK IS LOCATED> are
authorized or required by law to close.  If demand for payment is made by you
hereunder at or prior to 1:00 P.M. Eastern Standard Time on a Business Day, and
provided that such demand for payment conforms to the terms and conditions
hereof, payment shall be made to you of the amount demanded, in immediately
available funds, not later than 10:00 A.M. Eastern Standard Time on the next
succeeding Business Day.  If demand for payment is made by you hereunder after
1:00 P.M. Eastern Standard Time on a Business Day and provided that such demand
for payment conforms to the terms and conditions hereof, payment shall be made
to you of the amount demanded not later than 3:00 P.M. Eastern Standard Time,
on the next succeeding Business Day.  All payments made by us under this Letter
of Credit shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such
account as you or any transferee permitted by the terms of this Letter of
Credit may from time to time designate to us in writing.  If a demand for
payment made by you hereunder does not, in any instance, conform to the terms
and conditions of this Letter of Credit, we shall endeavor to give you prompt
notice that the purported negotiation was not effected in accordance with the
terms and conditions of this Letter of Credit, stating the reasons therefor and
that we are holding any documents at your disposal or are returning the same to
you, as we may elect.  Upon being notified that the purported negotiation was
not effected in conformity with this Letter of Credit, you may attempt to
correct any such non-conforming demand for payment if, and to the extent that,
you are entitled (without regard to the provisions of this sentence) and able
to do so.  Drawings in respect of payments hereunder honored by us shall not,
in the aggregate, exceed the Stated Amount.

       5 .       Each drawing hereunder honored by us shall pro tanto reduce
the Stated Amount, and drawings hereunder honored by us shall not, in the
aggregate, exceed the Stated Amount, in each case as the Stated Amount may have
been reinstated by us pursuant to Paragraph 6 hereof.

       6 .       Upon receipt by the undersigned of reimbursement in full by
the Lessee of any amounts due the undersigned because of any drawing, the
obligation of the undersigned to honor demands for payment under this Letter of
Credit will be reinstated up to the Stated Amount, provided that no previous or
subsequent drawing has been made under this Letter of Credit for which the
undersigned has not been reimbursed by the Lessee.





EXHIBIT C

       7 .       We hereby irrevocably agree that all sight drafts drawn under
and in compliance with the terms of this Letter of Credit shall be duly honored
upon presentation to us if so presented to us until close of business at our
aforesaid address on the Expiration Date.

         This Letter of Credit shall terminate on the earliest to occur of the
following:  (A) our close of business at our aforesaid address on the
Expiration Date, or (B) the time at which we honor the last drawing available
to be made hereunder.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Letter of Credit shall be deemed
automatically extended without amendment for one (1) year from the Expiration
Date, or any future expiration date (and each such successive expiration date
shall be deemed to be the Expiration Date under this Letter of Credit, as so
extended), unless ninety (90) days prior to any Expiration Date we shall notify
you by certified mail, return receipt requested, that we elect not to consider
this Letter of Credit renewed for any additional period (the "Non-Renewal
Notice").  Upon receipt of a Non-Renewal Notice, you may draw on this Letter of
Credit, or any extension thereof, up to the Stated Amount.

       8 .       This Letter of Credit sets forth in full the terms of our
undertaking, and this undertaking shall not in any way be modified, amended,
amplified or limited by reference to any document, instrument or agreement
referred to herein or in which this Letter of Credit is referred to or to which
this Letter of Credit relates, except for the certificates and the sight draft
referred to herein; any such reference shall not be deemed to incorporate
herein by reference any document, instrument or agreement, except for such
certificates and such sight draft.

       9 .       This Letter of Credit is transferable in its entirety (but not
in part) to any transferee who has succeeded you as the holder of the
landlord's interest under the LEASES and may be successively transferred.
Transfer of this Letter of Credit to such transferee shall be effected by the
presentation to us of this Letter of Credit, accompanied by a certificate in
the form of EXHIBIT B attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as a
material part hereof.

       10.       Only you (or a transferee permitted by the terms of this
Letter of Credit) may make drawings under this Letter of Credit.  Upon the
payment to you or to your account of the amount specified in a sight draft
drawn hereunder, we shall be fully discharged on our obligation under this
Letter of Credit with respect to such draft, and we shall not thereafter be
obligated to make any further payments under this Letter of Credit in respect
of such draft.

       11.       If any draft made in accordance with this Letter of Credit
shall not be paid as hereinabove provided, then the undersigned shall pay you
all costs and expenses incurred by you in connection with the collection of
such draft, including, but without limitation, all





EXHIBIT C
<PAGE>   124
IRREVOCABLE LETTER OF CREDIT CONT'D

reasonable and actual attorneys' fees thereby incurred by you and shall
furthermore pay you interest on all sums not paid as herein provided at the
highest legal rate permitted by law and, at your election, will thereupon pay
to you this Stated Amount then in effect.

       12.       If this original Letter of Credit has been lost or destroyed,
your statement to that effect together with your indemnity, indemnifying the
undersigned against any payments which it is required by law to make if, after
making full payment to you or your designee, the original of this Letter of
Credit is ultimately presented to the undersigned for payment prior to the
Termination Date, will be accepted in lieu of this Letter of Credit.

       13.       This Letter of Credit is subject to and shall be governed by
