patent, demands or causes of action with respect to any and all actions or
inactions, however described, whether in law or equity, whether for statutory or

                                       4
<PAGE>   5

whether in contract, warranty, tort, fraud, negligence, for actual,
consequential or punitive damages, or otherwise arising prior to or as of the
Effective Date (collectively, the "Claims"), that each ever had, now has or may
have against the other for or by reason of any cause, matter or thing
whatsoever, to the extent, and only to the extent arising out of or in any
respect related to any obligations under the NHP Documents or otherwise related
to or arising from operation of any of the Facilities. Subject to the express
limitations contained herein, it is the intent of the parties to this Agreement
to give the broadest releases and discharges possible under the law, and the
provisions hereof should be interpreted so as to give effect to such intent as
those releases and discharges relate to the NHP Documents, the operation of the
Facilities and any actions pending or judgements or decrees rendered as a result
thereof. It is the intention of Landlords and the BCC Entities in executing this
Agreement that the same shall be effective as a bar to each and every claim,
demand and cause of action hereinabove specified. In furtherance of this
intention, Landlords and the BCC Entities each hereby expressly waive any and
all rights and benefits conferred upon them by the provisions of SECTION 1542 OF
THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE and expressly consent that this Agreement shall be
given full force and effect according to each and all of its express terms and
provisions, including those related to unknown and unsuspected claims, demands
and causes of action, if any, as well as those relating to any other claims,
demands and causes of action hereinabove specified. SECTION 1542 provides:

                  "A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE
            CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN CREDITOR'S FAVOR AT
            THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY CREDITOR MUST
            HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED CREDITOR'S SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR."

Landlords and the BCC Entities each acknowledge that either party may hereafter
discover claims or facts in addition to or different from those which such party
now knows or believes to exist with respect to the subject matter of this
Agreement and which, if known or suspected at the time of executing this
Agreement, may have materially affected this settlement. Nevertheless, Landlords
and the BCC Entities each hereby waive any right, claim or cause of action that
might arise as a result of such different or additional claims or facts.
Landlords and the BCC Entities each acknowledge that they understand the


                                       5
<PAGE>   6

significance and consequence of such release and such specific waiver of SECTION
1542.

         b. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
release set forth in Section 2.a (i) shall not affect any right of or benefit to
Landlords under any policy of insurance maintained by any BCC Entity; (ii) shall
not apply to any Claim arising out of or in any respect related to any of the
following documents or agreements: (A) this Agreement, (B) the Master Transfer
Agreement or (C) the IMAs; and (iii) shall not apply to any Claim for fraud or
other intentional or willful misconduct by any BCC Entity or any Landlord
arising under or in connection with any NHP Document.

         c. The release granted by Landlords to the Tenant Released Parties
specifically includes any and all damages suffered by Landlords as a result of
the failure of the BCC Entities, whether before or after the Effective Date, to
pay any rent due under the Master Leases on and after December 1, 2000 (the
"Rent Defaults"). The release granted by Landlords to the Tenant Released
Parties shall specifically include the default judgment rendered on December 29,
2000, in the amount of $250,170.80 against the Tenant Released Parties by the
District Court of Maryland for Washington County and any other judgments that
may be entered against any of the BCC Entities before or after the Effective
Date with respect to the Rent Defaults.

         d. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the NHP
Documents, Landlords and the BCC Entities acknowledge and agree that as between
Landlords and the BCC Entities, all security deposits which are being held by
Landlords under the Master Leases as of the Termination Date (collectively, the
"Security Deposits"), shall be retained by and distributed to Landlords.

         e. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the NHP
Documents, Landlords acknowledge and agree that as between Landlords and the BCC
Entities, the BCC Entities are returning the Facilities to Landlords in their AS
IS WHERE IS condition and that, except for such Claims preserved pursuant to
Sections 1.b and 2.b, Landlords shall have no recourse against the BCC Entities
with respect to the condition of any of the Facilities or the compliance of the
condition of, or the BCC Entities' operations at, the Facilities with the terms
of the NHP Documents or applicable local, state or federal law.


                                       6
<PAGE>   7


         f. The release provided for in this Paragraph 2 shall be fully and
unconditionally effective on the Effective Date, and, except to the extent
provided to the contrary herein, shall apply to all matters, liabilities and
events of the parties hereto regardless of when such matters, liabilities or
events occurred.

         g. If and to the extent any of the Landlord Released Parties has
previously filed a claim, action or proceeding against any or all of the Tenant
Released Parties in any court, including state or federal court, administrative
body or other tribunal (collectively, the "Landlord Released Parties' Actions"),
within ten (10) business days after the Effective Date Landlords shall cause the
dismissal with prejudice of any such Landlord Released Parties' Actions and
shall provide the BCC Entities with notice of same.

     3. BCC Entities' Consideration. In consideration for the agreements of
Landlords set forth herein, the BCC Entities agree:

         a. To enter into the Master Transfer Agreement and cooperate with
Landlords or their designee in the transfer of operational and financial
responsibility for the Facilities as of the Termination Date, subject to the
terms and conditions thereof.

         b. To enter into the IMAs.

         c. For a period of one (1) year after the Takeover Agreement (as
defined in the Master Transfer Agreement),

            (i) Not to operate, own, participate or otherwise receive revenues
from any other facility or institution providing services or similar goods to
those provided in connection with the Facilities and the permitted use thereof
as an ALF, within a five (5) mile radius of any of the Facilities; provided;
however, the provisions of this Section shall not apply to the operation or
ownership of any licensed skilled nursing facility or licensed acute care
hospital facility;

            (ii) Not to directly solicit for hire, engage or otherwise employ
any management or supervisory personnel working in any of the Facilities.

            (iii) Not to directly recommend or directly solicit the removal or
transfer of any resident from any of the

                                       7
<PAGE>   8

Facilities to any other assisted living, senior housing or retirement housing
facility; provided, however, the provisions of this Section shall not apply to
the removal or transfer of a resident to a licensed skilled nursing facility or
licensed acute care hospital facility.

The BCC Entities hereby specifically acknowledge and agree that the temporal,
geographical and other restrictions contained in Section 3.c are reasonable and
necessary to protect the business and prospects of Landlords, and that the
enforcement of the provisions of Section 3.c will not work an undue hardship on
any of the BCC Entities. The BCC Entities further agree that in the event either
the length of time, geographical or any other restrictions, or portion thereof,
set forth in Section 3.c is overly restrictive and unenforceable in any court
proceeding, the court may reduce or modify such restrictions, but only to the
extent necessary, to those which it deems reasonable and enforceable under the
circumstances, and the parties agree that the restrictions of Section 3.c will
remain in full force and effect as reduced or modified. The BCC Entities further
agree and acknowledge that Landlords do not have an adequate remedy at law for
the breach or threatened breach by any of the BCC Entities of the covenants
contained in Section 3.c, and the BCC Entities therefore specifically agree that
Landlords may file a suit in equity to enjoin the BCC Entities from such breach
or threatened breach, without the necessity of posting any bond. The BCC
Entities further agree, in the event that any provision of Section 3.c is held
to be invalid or against public policy, the remaining provisions of Section 3.c
and the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby.

     4. Landlords' Consideration. In consideration for the agreements of the BCC
Entities set forth herein, Landlords agree:

         a. To enter into the Master Transfer Agreement and cooperate with the
BCC Entities in the transfer of operational and financial responsibility for the
Facilities as of the Termination Date, subject to the terms and conditions
thereof.

         b. To provide the release and dismissal set forth in Section 2.

         c. To enter into the IMAs.

         d. For a period of one (1) year after the Termination Date,


                                       8
<PAGE>   9


            (i) Not to directly solicit for hire, engage or otherwise employ any
management or supervisory personnel working in any Facility owned or operated by
any BCC Entity other than the Facilities (collectively, the "Non-NHP
Facilities").

            (ii) Not to directly recommend or directly solicit the removal or
transfer of any resident from any of the Non-NHP Facilities to any other
assisted living, senior housing or retirement housing facility; provided,
however, the provisions of this Section shall not apply to the removal or
transfer of a resident to a licensed skilled nursing facility or licensed acute
care hospital facility.

Landlords hereby specifically acknowledge and agree that the temporal,
geographical and other restrictions contained in Section 4.d are reasonable and
necessary to protect the business and prospects of the BCC Entities, and that
the enforcement of the provisions of Section 4.d will not work an undue hardship
on any of Landlords. Landlords further agree that in the event either the length
of time, geographical or any other restrictions, or portion thereof, set forth
in Section 4.d is overly restrictive and unenforceable in any court proceeding,
the court may reduce or modify such restrictions, but only to the extent
necessary, to those which it deems reasonable and enforceable under the
circumstances, and the parties agree that the restrictions of Section 4.d will
remain in full force and effect as reduced or modified. Landlords further agree
and acknowledge that the BCC Entities do not have an adequate remedy at law for
the breach or threatened breach by any of Landlords of the covenants contained
in Section 4.d, and Landlords therefore specifically agree that the BCC Entities
may file a suit in equity to enjoin Landlords from such breach or threatened
breach, without the necessity of posting any bond. Landlords further agree, in
the event that any provision of Section 4.d is held to be invalid or against
public policy, the remaining provisions of Section 4.d and the remainder of this
Agreement shall not be affected thereby.

     5. Further Assurances. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, Landlords and the BCC Entities agree to execute, file and/or record any
and all other documents, agreements or other instruments as may be necessary or
appropriate to confirm the agreements reached by, and the obligations imposed
on, Landlords and the BCC Entities hereunder, including without limitation UCC-3
termination

                                       9
<PAGE>   10

statements and, terminations of any memorandums relating to the Master Leases or
the Existing Leases.

     6. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall
constitute but one and the same instrument.

     7. Entirety. This Agreement represents the entire and final agreement of
the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all
prior discussions, negotiations and writings with respect thereto, including
without limitation the Agreement to Enter into Master Leases. This Agreement may
only be amended by written instrument signed by the parties hereto.

     8. Construction. Each of the parties has participated in the drafting and
negotiation of this Agreement. Accordingly, in the event of a dispute among the
parties with respect to the interpretation or enforcement of the terms hereof,
no provision shall be construed so as to favor or disfavor any party hereto.

     9. Captions. The captions are included in this Agreement for convenience of
reference only and shall not be construed so as to define, limit or modify in
any manner any of the terms hereof.

     10. Attorneys' Fees. In the event of a dispute among the parties hereto
with respect to the interpretation or enforcement of the terms hereof, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to collect from the other its reasonable
attorneys fees and costs, including its costs and fees on appeal.

     11. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the internal laws of the State of California without giving
effect to its conflicts of laws provisions.
