this Agreement, or (iv) result in the creation or imposition of any lien,
charge, or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any of the property or

         SECTION 27. GUARANTEES AND SECURITY. In order to better secure all of
the obligations hereunder and under the Lease, simultaneously with the execution
hereof, and as a condition precedent hereto, Developers shall cause the
execution and delivery to Owner by Balanced Care Corporation of a Construction
Completion Guaranty in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT G, which is hereby
incorporated herein by this reference. The obligations hereunder shall also be
secured and collateralized by the issuance to Owner on behalf of Developers of
the Letter of Credit. As of the date hereof, the Letter of Credit shall mean the
$_______ cash on deposit at Ocwen Federal Bank FSB plus interest earned thereon.
No later than April 30, 1998, Developers shall deliver to Owner an irrevocable
standby letter of credit payable to Owner for the benefit of Developers in form
and issued by an institution satisfactory to Owner, in Owner's sole discretion,
in the amount of $_______ for a period not less than 24 months, which
irrevocable standby letter of credit shall thereafter be referred to as the
Letter of Credit. Upon delivery of the irrevocable standby letter of credit as
set forth above in form satisfactory to Owner in Owner's sole discretion, Owner
shall return the $_______ cash as referenced above to Developers. Developers and
Owner agree that up to $200,000 may be used to fund pre-marketing and
operational start up costs (the "Start-Up Cost Amount") from the Letter of
Credit to be disbursed by Owner to Developers in Owner's reasonable discretion
and upon receipt of evidence or documentation by Owner of such Start-Up Cost
Amount. If at any time Owner draws on the Letter of Credit such that the amount
thereunder is reduced below $_______ (the "Deficiency"), Developers shall be
required to deposit the Deficiency with Owner in the form of cash pursuant to
the Assignment and Pledge of Deposit Account Agreement or a letter of credit of
the same form, substance and issuer as the Letter of Credit which sums or
instruments shall be held as security for Developers' obligations hereunder as
follows: (i) if a draw is made which reduces the available amount under the
Letter of Credit to $_______ (the "Minimum Balance") or less, Developers shall
restore the Letter of Credit to the Minimum Balance within ten (10) days of such
Deficiency and fully restore the Letter of Credit to $_______ less any Start-Up
Cost Amounts prior to the Lease Commencement Date or (ii) if a draw is made
which reduces the available amount under the Letter of Credit to an amount above
the Minimum Balance, Developer will restore the Letter of Credit to the full
amount of $_______ less any Start-Up Cost

                                      -23-
<PAGE>   24

Amounts prior to the Lease Commencement Date. The parties hereby agree that if
Developers are required to provide funds in excess of the line item amounts
contained in the Budget as provided in Section 5 of the Agreement and the same
is not paid when due hereunder, then Owner agrees to accept payment of the same
from Guarantor during the applicable cure period as set forth in Article 36 of
the General Conditions; provided no Default exists hereunder. The parties
further agree that any related party debt incurred or created by the foregoing
shall be subordinate to any obligations of Developers to Owner, including any
obligations of SCOSL to Owner under the Lease and shall not be repaid until the
Lease has terminated and all obligations of Owner thereunder have been paid in
full. If such payment is not made by Guarantor or Developers during such
applicable cure period, then Owner shall make a draw under the Letter of Credit
upon the expiration of the applicable cure period. The aforementioned
obligations shall be further secured by a collateral assignment of any and all
unpaid portions of Developers' Fee (as defined below), as specified in the
Budget, which collateral assignment shall also be in form and content acceptable
to Owner, and a first priority security interest in the Personal Property.
Developers agrees to execute all necessary documents requested by Owner in order
to perfect Owner's security interest in the collateral hereunder. All rights
under the above security documents and instruments shall be exercisable upon a
Default hereunder and all remedies of Owner hereunder shall be cumulative,
non-exclusive and exercisable in such order as Owner shall determine.

         SECTION 28. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT. The execution and delivery of this
Agreement shall be conditioned upon the following:

         a) Execution and delivery to Owner of a Special Warranty Deed with
respect to the Land, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Owner;

         b) Delivery to the Owner of an Owner's Title Insurance Policy, in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to Owner with such endorsements as Owner
may require; and

         c) Such other documents and instruments as Owner may require with
respect to the purchase of the Land from Developers, all in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Owner.

         SECTION 29. MUTUAL WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. DEVELOPERS AND OWNER HEREBY
WAIVE ANY RIGHT THAT ANY OF THEM MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY AND ALL
CLAIMS, COUNTERCLAIMS, SETOFFS, DEMANDS, ACTION OR CAUSES OF ACTION (A) ARISING
OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT OR
AGREEMENTS BETWEEN DEVELOPERS AND OWNER AT ANY TIME, INCLUDING, ANY SUCH
AGREEMENTS, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, MADE OR ALLEGED TO HAVE BEEN MADE AT ANY
TIME PRIOR TO THE DATE HEREOF, AND ALL AGREEMENTS MADE HEREAFTER OR OTHERWISE,
OR (B) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR PERTAINING OR

                                      -24-
<PAGE>   25

RELATED TO OR INCIDENTAL TO ANY DEALINGS OF OWNER AND/OR DEVELOPERS WITH RESPECT
TO ANY AGREEMENT OR THE CONDUCT OR THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES HERETO, IN
ALL OF THE FOREGOING CASES WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING AND WHETHER
SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE. DEVELOPERS AND OWNER AGREE THAT THE
OTHER PARTY MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE
OF THE KNOWING, VOLUNTARY AND BARGAINED-FOR AGREEMENT OF DEVELOPERS AND OWNER
IRREVOCABLY TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY AS AN INDUCEMENT OF
DEVELOPERS AND OWNER TO MAKE THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED
BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY WHATSOEVER (WHETHER OR NOT
MODIFIED HEREIN) BETWEEN DEVELOPERS AND OWNER SHALL INSTEAD BE TRIED IN A COURT
OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY. DEVELOPERS AND
OWNER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS A WAIVER OF A LEGAL RIGHT AND THAT THIS WAIVER IS
MADE KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY AFTER CONSULTATION WITH, OR THE OPPORTUNITY TO
CONSULT WITH, COUNSEL OF DEVELOPERS' AND OWNER'S CHOICE.

         SECTION 30. DEVELOPERS FEE. In compensation for the services of
Developers, Owner will pay to Developers a development fee (the "Developers'
Fee") in the amount of $_______. Developers' Fee shall be due and payable as
follows: (i) $_______ shall be due and payable on the date of the delivery to
Owner of the irrevocable standby letter of credit in the amount of $_______ as
set forth in Section 27 hereto (the "Letter of Credit Effective Date"), (ii)
$______ shall be paid in equally monthly installments over the twelve months
immediately following the Letter of Credit Effective Date provided no Default
occurs hereunder, and (iii) $______ shall be due and payable on the date Final
Payment is made by Owner. In the event of a Default hereunder, Owner may apply
the remaining balance of the Developers' Fee to any obligation existing or
hereafter arising of Developers to Owner under this Agreement and shall have no
further obligation to pay any outstanding balance remaining of the Developers'
Fee.

         SECTION 31.  MISCELLANEOUS.

         A. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be signed in one or more
counterparts or duplicate signature pages with the same force and effect as if
all required signatures were contained in a single original instrument. Any one
or more such counterparts or duplicate signature pages may be removed from any
one or more original copies of this Agreement and annexed to other counterparts
or duplicate signature pages to form a completely executed original instrument.

United States District Court for the District of ____________ or, to the extent
required by applicable law, any ____________ State Court shall have exclusive
jurisdiction to hear and determine any claims or disputes between Owner and

and utilize a disbursement agent for the purpose of monitoring and disbursing
advances hereunder. The reasonable fees and costs of the disbursement agent
shall be treated as a Soft Cost under the Budget.

         SECTION 34. NO THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARY. No provisions of this Agreement
shall in any way inure to the benefit of any third Person so as to constitute
such Person a third party beneficiary of this Agreement or of any one or more of
the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

         SECTION 35. JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS. The obligations and
agreements of the Developers hereunder shall be joint and several.

cross-defaulted to any transaction between SCOSL, Senior Care Operators, LLC or
Oakhaven Senior Living, Inc. or any Affiliate of SCOSL, Senior Care Operators,
LLC or Oakhaven Senior Living, Inc. and Owner (collectively, the "Related

Owner, then such project will be cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted to any
other project which BCC or any affiliate of BCC is the tenant and the Owner is
the owner of the project. Developers also acknowledge and agree that Owner would
not have consummated this transaction without such assurance and understanding
and Owner has relied upon such assurance and understanding in entering into this

provided, however, that such party uses its best efforts and acts in good faith
to avoid or overcome the impediment.

         17.2 Any delays in or failure of performance by either party arising
from a Force Majeure shall not constitute default hereunder or give rise to any
claim for damages if caused by and to the extent caused by Force Majeure
occurrences. The foregoing shall not be considered a waiver of either party's
obligations hereunder including the obligation of the Developers to fund excess
costs as provided in SECTION 5.A of the Agreement, nor shall it apply to the

for those activities to be continued during the Force Majeure occurrence. Any
excess costs arising due to Force Majeure will be defined as Excess Project
Costs for the purposes of Section 21.2 of the Lease.

         17.3 In the event of such Force Majeure occurrences, an equitable
adjustment shall be made in the Substantial Completion Date or Final Completion

then or thereby becomes in Default under this Agreement, Developers shall
immediately give Owner written notice of such circumstances. Owner, or its
authorized representative, shall have the option to expedite the purchase and
delivery of such items to the extent the Consulting Engineer reasonably
certifies that such action is necessary to complete the Work by the Substantial
Completion Date. Developers' purchase orders shall contain a clause informing
its suppliers of this option. Should Owner be required to purchase any items
which should have been furnished by Developers, Owner shall deduct from the
Contract Sum any such items plus any reasonable transportation expenses and

20.0     CHANGES
         -------
 
         20.1 Developers, but not the Owner, may request that changes be made in
the Work; provided, however, that the Developers can make change orders for up
to $10,000 per change order, but not more than $70,000 in the aggregate, without
the prior written consent of Owner. Such request from Developers to Owner shall
specify the change in plans, specifications, procedures, time, sequence, or
other requirements of this Agreement, and specify whether such change will delay
the completion of the Work beyond the Substantial Completion Date. Developers
agrees that to the extent there are any deficiencies in the Plans and
Specifications in order to meet the requirements for a Certificate of Occupancy
and operation of the Project as a personal care home providing assisted living
services, the Developers shall be responsible for all costs associated with any
necessary changes to the Plans and Specifications and the Work.

         20.2 No adjustment in price or time of performance shall be made for
changes in arrangement, aesthetics, substitution of equivalent materials or
equipment or other changes, unless such changes materially increase or reduce
Developers' cost of performing the Work or extend the time that Developers'
equipment and forces are required to be engaged in performing the Work.

         20.3 INTENTIONALLY OMITTED

         20.4 The method of determining the equitable adjustment shall be
specified, and, if possible, the price fixed at the time of the issuance of
written direction for the change. Unless a lump sum or other method of pricing
is established by agreement, Owner may direct determination of the equitable
adjustment in price, whether an increase or decrease, by any of the following
methods: (a) agreed or established fixed unit prices, or (b) cost.

         20.5 If the cost method is directed by Owner, the adjustment will be
based on the cost of the change in the Work using the formula established in
this Agreement, or if not established herein, by other agreement.

         20.6 In the absence of agreement, Developers shall be paid all actual,
direct additional costs incurred, without allocation of general and
administrative expense. The costs from any Contractors or Subcontractors must be
reasonable and are subject to the approval of Owner.

         20.7 In case of deletion or reduction of the Work by such change,
Developers shall not be entitled to anticipated contribution to home office
overhead and profit from any portion of the Work not performed.

         20.8 Developers shall maintain and furnish and shall cause its
Contractors and Subcontractors to maintain and furnish Owner accurate and
detailed records segregating the cost of the change in the Work. The records
shall include, at a minimum, the names and classifications of workers employed,
the description and nature of the work performed, the hours worked, the
materials and plant equipment incorporated into the Work and the machinery,
equipment and other things utilized, if any.

         20.9 Should Developers receive, accept, and act upon any change not
given in accordance with the terms of this Article, Developers does so at its
own risk and all claims by Developers for payment by Owner for such work shall
not be valid unless otherwise agreed to by Owner in writing.

22.0     PARTIAL OCCUPANCY AND USE
         -------------------------

         Owner shall have the right to take possession of any substantially
completed portion of the Work so long as Owner has accepted such portion of the
Work as satisfying Substantial Completion and any such possession shall not
hinder timely completion of the Work. Such partial occupancy and use shall not
imply final acceptance by Owner of such portion nor shall it relieve Developers
of the obligation to complete all of the Work strictly in accordance with the
requirements of this Agreement.

23.0     COOPERATION WITH OTHERS
         -----------------------

         23.1 Developers and Owner shall fully cooperate with the Design

         ----------

         25.1 All materials, equipment, and work shall be subject to inspection
at all times by Owner or any agents appointed by Owner including but not limited
to the Consulting Engineer.

         25.2 No Work shall be covered until inspected and released in
accordance with established inspection procedures of relevant Governmental
Authorities. All Work covered prior to inspection shall be uncovered and exposed
by Developers for inspection on request of Owner; provided that the cost of such
inspection, uncovering and (if applicable) remediation shall be borne by
Developers if the results of such inspection disclose that the Work fails to
comply the Plans and Specifications and Governmental Requirements; otherwise
Owner shall bear such cost.

         25.3 For inspection of materials, equipment, or work away from Jobsite,
where specified, it is Developers' responsibility to notify Owner in a
reasonable time as to where such materials, equipment, or work are being
produced or performed, and when they will be ready for inspection.

         25.4 Inspection by Owner or its agents, shall not relieve Developers
from its responsibility of furnishing materials, equipment, and work strictly in
accordance with the Drawings and Specifications; nor shall it relieve Developers
from its responsibilities and guarantees for materials, equipment and
workmanship. Neither shall such inspection, interim or final, nor failure to
detect defective materials, equipment, or workmanship constitute acceptance of
such materials, equipment, or workmanship. Furthermore, payment to Developers by
Owner shall not constitute acceptance.

         25.5 Owner reserves the right to waive inspection at any time or point
without prejudice to its right, at its own cost, to pass on acceptability of
materials, equipment and work at a later time.

         25.6 Developers acknowledges that the Inspection Fee for Owner's
Consulting Engineer is included in the Budget and can be advanced directly by

         28.1 Developers will provide Owner with a list of all Contractors and
Subcontractors providing labor, materials or services to the Project. It is
understood and agreed that Developers shall use the form of contract approved by
Owner and attached hereto as EXHIBIT K and shall obtain Owner's written approval
prior to making any changes therein that would materially change the contract,
except for items related to insurance and indemnification, which shall not be
changed. Contracting of any nature by Developers shall not relieve Developers of
its duties, obligations, responsibilities, guarantees, or liabilities under this
Agreement or create any contractual relationship between Contractors and
Subcontractors and Owner.

         28.2 The Developers and Owner agree that neither will use the name of
the other in any advertising or publicity of any kind without the other party's
prior approval, except that Owner or Developers may identify Developers, Owner
and/or the Project in connection with negotiations for financing relative to the

consultants.

29.0     LIENS
         ----- 

         INTENTIONALLY DELETED

30.0     TERMINATION FOR CAUSE
         ---------------------

         30.1 Should the Developers (i) fail in any respect to prosecute the
Work with promptness and diligence, all in Owner's reasonable judgment,
following ten (10) business days written notice from Owner, setting forth in
reasonable detail such failure or (ii) become bankrupt or insolvent or go or be
put into liquidation or dissolution, either voluntarily, or involuntarily, or
petition for an arrangement or reorganization under the Federal Bankruptcy Code,
or make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise
acknowledge insolvency (and, in the case of involuntary bankruptcy action, if
such filing or petition is not discharged within 90 days) or should a Default
under ARTICLE 36 occur:

                                       15
<PAGE>   46

              a. Owner may take whatever action it deems reasonably necessary to
cure such default and charge the entire cost thereof to the Developers in which
event said cost shall be deducted from any monies due or to become due to the
Developers under this Agreement. Owner will have no obligation to provide notice
of default or allow for any cure period other than as specifically set forth in
this Agreement; or

              b. Owner may, at its election, terminate the Work of the
Developers temporarily, partially or completely, and take over the same,
including all materials, tools, and equipment to the Jobsite, and complete the
Work. If this occurs, the Developers shall not be entitled to receive any
further payment until the Work hereunder shall have been wholly finished. If the
costs, expenses, losses, damages, reasonable attorneys fees and other charges,
together with all payments theretofore made to or for the account of the
Developers, shall exceed the sum which would have been payable under this
Agreement if the Work had been performed and completed by Developers, the
Developers shall pay the amount of the excess to Owner. Developers shall be
entitled to payment for Work completed pursuant to this Agreement prior to its
default hereunder, provided, however, that if the cost of completion of the Work
by Owner is less than the unpaid portion of the Contract Sum, the Owner will not
be responsible to pay any monies in excess of any sums advanced to complete the
Work; or

              c. Owner may terminate the Agreement and pursue all available
legal and equitable remedies (except provisions which relate to Developers'
warranty and indemnity obligations hereunder which shall survive such
termination).

              d. Notwithstanding the above terms of Article 30.1, upon written
notice provided to Owner not more than ninety (90) days, but not less than
fifteen (15) days, prior to the Substantial Completion Date, Developers may
extend the Substantial Completion Date (and thereby the Final Completion Date)
by six (6) months (180 days) (the "Extended Completion Date") provided (i) on
the first day of the six month extension period and on each of the next five (5)
thirty day anniversaries thereafter, Developers shall make those payments of
Base Rent (as defined under the Lease) and Additional Rent (as defined under the
Lease) to Owner which would be required of Developers (as defined under the
Lease) if the Lease were then in effect; (ii) no Default exists on the first day
of the six (6) month extension period; and (iii) up to $180,000 of the Letter of
Credit in total may be used to fund such lease payments. Upon receipt of any
notice of extension from Developers, Owner agrees to promptly calculate and
inform Developers of all amounts due under this Section 30.1(d); Developers
agrees to pay all amount due hereunder within five (5) days of receipt of such
calculation. The parties acknowledge that Owner will incur additional costs and
expenses and will lose significant revenues as a result of Developers' failure
to timely perform hereunder. Accordingly, the parties agree that this provision
is intended to compensate Owner and is not intended as a penalty. If Developers
exercises their rights under this Section and makes draws under the Letter of
Credit then the provisions of Section 27 of the Agreement shall apply as to the
restoration of the Letter of Credit to $625,000 less any Start-Up Cost Amounts.

                                       16
<PAGE>   47

         Notwithstanding the above, Developers shall have the right to provide
such extension notice to Owner at any time where the Consulting Engineer shall
certify to Owner that the Work is not capable of Final Completion by the Final
Completion Date.

32.0     PROGRESS PAYMENTS AND FINAL PAYMENT
         -----------------------------------

              32.1.1 The Contract Sum is stated in this Agreement and, including
authorized adjustments thereto and the Developers' Fee, is the total amount
payable by the Owner to the Developers for the performance of the Work under
this Agreement.

         32.2 BUDGET.

              32.2.1 All applications for Payment of the Contract Sum (the

<PAGE>   48

              32.3.1.7 Each Application for Payment submitted by Developers

satisfactory to Owner executed by each Design Professional, Contractor and
Subcontractor, or other potential lien or reflecting payment in full for all
services rendered or materials provided or labor performed through the date of
the Application for Payment for the previous months.

         32.3.2 Payments will only be made on account of materials or equipment
not incorporated in the Work but delivered and suitably stored at the Jobsite,
if approved in advance in writing by the Owner. Payments may be made for
material or equipment stored at some other location. Payment for materials or
equipment stored on the Jobsite or at another location shall be conditioned upon
submission by the Developers of bills of sale or such other procedures

equipment or otherwise protect the Owner's interest, including applicable
insurance.

         32.3.3 The Developers warrants that title to all Work, materials,
services and equipment covered by an Application for Payment will pass to the
Owner either by incorporation in the construction or upon the receipt of payment

security interests or encumbrances, and that no Work, materials, services or
equipment covered by an Application for Payment will have been acquired by the
Developers, or by any other person performing Work at the site or furnishing
materials and equipment for the Project, subject to an agreement under which an
interest therein or an encumbrance thereon is retained by the seller or
otherwise imposed by the Developers or such other person.

         32.4 CERTIFICATE FOR PAYMENT.

              32.4.1 On all Applications for Payment of Hard Costs, Consulting
Engineer will, within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of the Developers'
Application for Payment, either issue a "Certificate for Payment" to the Owner,
for such amount as the Consulting Engineer determines is properly due, or notify
the Owner in writing (the "Notice of Denial") his reasons for withholding a
Certificate of Payment as provided in Subparagraph 32.6.1, in each case
providing a copy of such Certificate for Payment or Notice of Denial to
Developers.

              32.4.2 The issuance of a Certificate for Payment will constitute a
representation by the Consulting Engineer to the Owner, based on his
observations at the Jobsite and the data comprising the Application for Payment,
that the Work has progressed to the point indicated; that, to the best of his
knowledge, information and belief, the quality of the Work is in accordance with
the Contract Documents subject to an evaluation of the Work for conformance with
the Contract Documents upon Substantial Completion, to the results of any
subsequent tests required by or performed under the Contract Documents, and to
minor deviations from the Contract Documents correctable prior to completion)
and that the Developers is entitled to payment in the amount certified. However,
by issuing a Certificate for Payment, the Consulting Engineer shall not thereby
be deemed to represent that he has made exhaustive or continuous on-site
inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Work or that he has reviewed
the construction means, methods, 

                                       18
<PAGE>   49

techniques, sequences or procedures, or that he has made any examination to
ascertain how or for what purpose the Developers has used the moneys previously
paid on account of the Contract Sum.

              32.4.3 No Certificate of Payment shall be necessary for
Applications for Payment of Soft Costs, which shall be paid by Owner in the
manner and within the time provided below.

              32.4.4 Notwithstanding anything contained herein, if at any time,
the Consulting Engineer denies issuance of a Certificate of Payment based upon
inclusion of particular items, Developers may accept payment of nondisputed
items and withdraw its request for Payment only as it relates to disputed items.
Developers may resubmit disputed requests for Payments or withdraw requests for
Payment.

         32.5 PROGRESS PAYMENTS.

              32.5.1 After the Consulting Engineer has issued a Certificate for
Payment, the Owner shall make payment in the manner and within the time provided
below. Owner shall not be required to make any payments hereunder unless
Developers simultaneously delivers to Owner a lien release covering the period
related to such payment (which release may be conditional upon the receipt of
payment), together with lien releases from all persons and entities providing
labor services or materials to the Project through the date of the previous
payments, together with such affidavits as Owner may require pursuant to the
Pennsylvania construction lien laws, and otherwise satisfies the requirements of
this Agreement.

              32.5.2 The Developers shall promptly pay all Design Professionals,
Contractors and Subcontractors, upon receipt of payment from the Owner, out of
the amount paid to the Developers on account of such Design Professional's,
Contractor's or Subcontractor's work, the amount to which said Design
Professional, Contractor or Subcontractor is entitled, reflecting the percentage
actually retained, if any, from payments to the Developers on account of such
Contractor's or Subcontractor's work. The Developers shall, by an appropriate
agreement with each Design Professional, Contractor or Subcontractor, require
each Design Professional, Contractor or Subcontractor to make payments to his
subcontractors in a similar manner.

              32.5.3 No Certificate for a Payment, nor any Payment, nor any
partial or entire use or occupancy of the Project by the Owner, shall constitute
final acceptance of any Work not in accordance with the Contract Documents.

              32.5.4 Based upon Applications for Payment submitted to the Owner
by the Developers and Certificates for Payment issued by the Consulting
Engineer, if applicable, the Owner shall make progress payments on account of
the Contract Sum to the Developers as provided below and elsewhere in the
Contract Documents.

              32.5.5 The period covered by each Application for Payment shall be
one calendar month ending on the last day of the month.

                                       19
<PAGE>   50

              32.5.6 Provided an Application for Payment is received by the
Owner and Consulting Engineer, if applicable, not later than the fifteenth
(15th) day of a month, the Owner shall make payment of any undisputed portion to
the Developers not later than the fifteenth (15th) day of the following month.
If an Application for Payment is received by the Owner after the application
date fixed above, payment of any undisputed portion shall be made by the Owner
not later than thirty (30) days after the receipt of such Application for
Payment.

              32.5.7 Each Application for Payment shall be based upon the
Budget, as may be reallocated from time to time as provided herein. 

              32.5.8 Applications for Payment shall indicate the percentage of
completion of each portion of the Work as of the end of the period covered by
the Application for Payment.

              32.5.9 Subject to the provisions of the Contract Documents, the
amount of each progress payment shall be computed as follows:

              32.5.9.1 Take that portion of the Contract Sum properly allocable
to completed Work as determined by multiplying the percentage completion of each
portion of the Work by the share of the total Contract Sum allocated to that
portion of the Work in the Budget, less the appropriate Retainage. Pending final
determination of cost to the Owner of changes in the Work, amounts not in
dispute may be included as provided in Article 20 of the General Conditions even
though the Contract Sum has not yet been adjusted by Change Order.

              32.5.9.2 Add that portion of the Contract Sum properly allocable
to materials and equipment delivered and suitably stored for subsequent
incorporation in the completed construction if approved in advance by the Owner,
less the appropriate Retainage.

              32.5.9.3 Subtract the aggregate of previous payments made by the
Owner; and

              32.5.9.4 Subtract amounts, if any, for which the Owner has
withheld Payment or the Consulting Engineer has withheld or nullified a
Certificate for Payment, as provided in Paragraph 32.6 of the General
Conditions.

         32.6 PAYMENTS WITHHELD.

              32.6.1 The Owner may withhold payment on any Application for
Payment of Soft Costs if in Owner's judgment the Payment is not properly due
hereunder. The Consulting Engineer may decline to certify payment and may
withhold his Certificate of Payment in whole or in part, to the extent
reasonably necessary to protect the Owner, if in his opinion he is unable to
make representations to the Owner as provided in Subparagraph 32.4.2. If the
Consulting Engineer is unable to make representations to the Owner as provided
in 

                                       20
<PAGE>   51

Subparagraph 32.4.2 and to certify payments in the amount of the Application,
he will notify the Developers as provided in Subparagraph 32.4. If the
Developers and the Consulting Engineer cannot agree on a revised amount, the
Consulting Engineer will promptly issue a Certificate for Payment for the amount
for which he is able to make such representations to the Owner. The Consulting
Engineer may also decline to certify payment or, because of subsequently
discovered evidence or subsequent observations, he may nullify the whole or any
part of any Certificate for Payment previously issued, to such extent as may be
necessary in his opinion to protect the Owner from loss because of:

              a. defective Work not remedied,

              b. failure of the Developers to make payments properly to Design
Professionals, or to Contractors and Subcontractors or to make payments for
labor, materials or equipment, or

              c. reasonable evidence that the Work cannot be completed for the
unpaid balance of the Contract Sum on or before the Final Completion Date.

              32.6.2 When the above grounds in Subparagraph 32.6.1 are removed
(including payments by Developers pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement),
payment shall be made for amounts withheld because of them, unless Owner has
elected to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the rights herein granted in the
event of a Default by Developers.

         32.7 FAILURE OF PAYMENT.

              32.7.1 If the Owner does not pay the Developers within seven (7)
days after the date

established in the Contract Documents any undisputed amounts certified by the
Consulting Engineer, then the Developers may, upon seven (7) additional days
written notice to the Owner, stop the Work until payment of the amount owing has
been received. In addition, if such failure is caused by Owner, then Owner shall
be obligated to increase the Contract Sum for any costs associated with such
delay plus an amount equal to the then current Prime Rate as announced in the
Wall Street Journal plus 2% on such increase for the period from the end of such
initial 7-day period and extend the Substantial Completion Date and Extended
Completion Date, if applicable, for each day that Work has been stopped.

         32.8 SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION.

              32.8.1 When the Developers considers that Substantial Completion
of the Work has occurred, the Developers shall prepare for submission to the
Owner a list of items to be completed or corrected (the "Punchlist"). The
failure to include any items on such Punchlist does not alter the responsibility
of the Developers to complete all Work in accordance with the Contract
Documents. The Consulting Engineer will conduct an inspection within twenty days
of Developers' submission of the Punchlist, and upon Consulting Engineer's
determination that Substantial Completion of the Work has occurred, he will then
prepare a Certificate of Substantial Completion which shall establish the date

              32.8.2 Upon Substantial Completion of the Work and upon
application by the Developers

and certification by the Consulting Engineer, the Owner shall make payment, if
any, for such Work or portion thereof, as provided in the Contract Documents,
subject to Developers' obligation to provide lien releases and affidavits as
required hereunder, provided, however, that Owner may retain the lesser of the
applicable portion of Retainage or the amount which is two (2) times the
Punchlist Costs with respect to such portion of the Work.

         32.9 FINAL COMPLETION.

              32.9.1 Upon receipt of written notice from Developers that the
Work has reached Final Completion and is ready for final inspection and
acceptance and upon receipt of a final Application for Payment, the Consulting
Engineer will within twenty days of Owner's receipt of such written notice make
such inspection and make a determination whether Final Completion of the Project
has occurred.

              32.9.2 Neither the Final Payment (as defined below) nor the
remaining retained percentage shall become due until the Developers submits to
the Consulting Engineer: (1) an affidavit that all payrolls, bills for materials
and equipment, and other indebtedness connected with the Work for which the
Owner or his property might in any way be responsible, have been paid or
otherwise satisfied; (2) consent of surety, if any, to final payment; (3) all
Contract Documents, including a complete set of as-built and record documents;
(4) such other data as the Owner reasonably may require establishing payment or
satisfaction of all obligations of the Developers in connection with the Work
including receipts of final satisfaction and releases and waivers of liens and
releases of any and all claims by the Contractors and Subcontractors, conforming
in all material respects with the laws of the state where the Project is located
and evidencing performance of the Work in accordance with the Contract
Documents; (5) a release of the Owner and any of its insurers who have insured
the Project or any aspect thereof from and against any claims (except to the
extent of any claims theretofore timely filed which are owing but unpaid) and a
release of the Owner from and against any claims between the Developers and a
separate contractor; (6) any governmental certificates required by the Contract
Documents or otherwise to evidence compliance of the Developers and the Work
with applicable laws, ordinances, rules, codes and regulations and the Contract
Documents; (7) otherwise satisfies the requirements of Subsection 32.10.3; and
(8) warranties, guarantees, assignments thereof, and maintenance or other
manuals, required by the Drawings and Specifications in the forms approved by
the Owner, in favor of the Owner and such other persons as the Owner may direct.
The submission of all of the foregoing is an express condition precedent to
Contractor's entitlement to Final Payment. If any Design Professional,
Contractor or Subcontractor refuses to furnish a release or waiver required by
the Owner, the Developers may furnish a bond satisfactory to the Owner to
indemnify him against any such lien. If such lien remains unsatisfied after all
Payments are made, the Developers shall refund to the Owner all moneys that the
latter may be compelled to pay in discharging such lien, including all costs and
reasonable attorneys fees.

therefrom any and all amounts reasonably necessary to satisfy actual and
potential claims, liabilities, damages, expenses and obligations not included in
the Budget, any remaining unpaid balance of the said Developers' Fee that is due
shall then be paid.
