                                      RENT

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

                  (a) PRE-CONVERSION BASE RENT: From and after the Commencement
         Date and until the Conversion Date, Lessee shall pay, commencing on
         September 1, 1998, and on the first day of each calendar month
         thereafter, as well as on the Conversion Date, a base rent (the
         "Pre-Conversion Base Rent") in arrears that is equal to the product of
         (i) the Meditrust Investment from time to time outstanding multiplied
         by (ii) the Pre-Conversion Rent Adjustment Rate in effect from time to
         time, calculated on a daily basis.

                  (b) POST-CONVERSION BASE RENT: From and after the Conversion
         Date, Lessee shall pay a base rent (the "Post-Conversion Base Rent")
         per annum that is equal to the product of (i) the Meditrust Investment
         multiplied by (ii) the Rent Adjustment Rate in effect on the Conversion
         Date, payable in advance in equal, consecutive monthly installments due
         on the first day of each calendar month; 

<PAGE>   34

         provided, however, that on each Rent Adjustment Date, the Base Rent
         shall be adjusted to equal the greater of (A) the then current
         Post-Conversion Base Rent multiplied by 1.02 or (B) an amount equal to
         the Meditrust Investment multiplied by the Rent Adjustment Rate then in
         effect on such subsequent Rent Adjustment Date and further, provided,
         however, that on the Conversion Date, Lessee shall pay to Lessor the
         proportionate share of the Post-Conversion Base Rent due for the period
         from (and including) the Conversion Date through the end of the
         calendar month during which the Conversion Date occurred.

                  (c) ADDITIONAL RENT: In addition to the Base Rent, commencing
         on the first anniversary of the Conversion Date (the "Additional Rent
         Commencement Date") the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor additional rent
         (the "Additional Rent") which shall equal, in each fiscal year, the sum
         of (i) the Additional Rent payable with respect to the immediately
         preceding fiscal year plus (ii) an amount equal to twenty percent (20%)
         of Excess Gross Revenues for the then current fiscal year. Additional
         Rent shall accrue commencing on the Additional Rent Commencement Date
         and shall be payable during the Term, quarterly in arrears, commencing
         on the first day of the first fiscal quarter commencing after the
         Additional Rent Commencement Date occurs and there shall be an annual
         reconciliation as provided in Section 3.2 below. Notwithstanding the
         foregoing, in no event shall any increase to the Additional Rent for
         any fiscal year exceed two percent (2%) of the total of Base Rent and
         Additional Rent payable with respect to the immediately preceding
         fiscal year.

                  Additional Rent payable hereunder for any fractional fiscal
         year shall be prorated so that such Additional Rent shall equal the
         product of (x) the Additional Rent payable with respect to the
         immediately preceding fiscal year plus an amount equal to twenty
         percent (20%) of the annualized Excess Gross Revenues for the
         applicable fractional fiscal year multiplied by (y) a fraction (the
         "Proration Factor"), the numerator of which is the number of days in
         the applicable fractional fiscal year and the denominator of which is
         365; provided, however, that, in no event shall the Additional Rent
         payable during (A) the fiscal year in which the Additional Rent
         Commencement Date occurs exceed the product of two percent (2%) of the
         total of Base Rent payable with respect to the immediately preceding
         fiscal year multiplied by the applicable Proration Factor and (B) any
         other fractional fiscal year increase by more than the product of two
         percent (2%) of the total of Base Rent and Additional Rent payable with
         respect to the immediately preceding fiscal year multiplied by the
         applicable Proration Factor.

                  (d) Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 3.1(a)
         and (b) above, the Base Rent (as it may be adjusted) shall be paid
         monthly in advance in equal, consecutive monthly installments on the
         first day of each calendar month.

                  (e) Without limiting any of the other terms and conditions of
         the Lease, Base Rent may be adjusted pursuant to Section 19.4 hereof.

                  3.2 CALCULATION AND PAYMENT OF ADDITIONAL RENT; ANNUAL
         RECONCILIATION.

                  3.2.1 ESTIMATES AND PAYMENTS. Commencing on the Additional
         Rent Commencement Date, Additional Rent to be paid during each fiscal
         year during the Term shall be estimated by the Lessee at the beginning
         of each fiscal year for which it is payable (and in no event shall such
         estimate be less than the Additional Rent payable for the prior fiscal
         year, except with respect to the estimate to be made on the Additional
         Rent Commencement Date), and shall be paid quarterly in arrears (in
         equal installments on the first day of July, October, January and
         April) based on such estimate, to be adjusted at the end of each such
         year based on the actual Excess Gross Revenues during that fiscal year.
         In addition, on the Additional Rent Commencement Date, the Lessee shall
         estimate the Additional Rent to be paid for the period from (and
         including) the Additional Rent Commencement Date through (and
         including) the end of the fiscal quarter during which the Additional
         Rent Commencement Date occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on a
         quarterly basis, with the prior consent of the Lessor, the Lessee may
         also adjust the quarterly payments of Additional Rent to be made
         hereunder based upon a comparison of (a) the actual Gross Revenues
         generated by the Leased Property during the applicable fiscal quarter
         and (b) the original estimate of Additional Rent for the applicable
         fiscal year prepared by the Lessee and the amount of Additional Rent
         already paid by the Lessee pertaining to the applicable fiscal year.

                  3.2.2 ANNUAL STATEMENT. In addition, within sixty (60) days
         following any fiscal year for which Additional Rent is payable
         hereunder, the Lessee shall deliver to the Lessor an Officer's
         Certificate, reasonably acceptable to the Lessor and certified by the
         chief financial officer of the Lessee, setting forth the Gross Revenues
         for the immediately preceding fiscal year.

                  3.2.3 DEFICITS. If the Additional Rent, as finally determined
         for any fiscal year (or portion thereof), exceeds the sum of the
         quarterly payments of Additional Rent previously paid by the Lessee
         with respect to said fiscal year, within thirty (30) days after such
         determination is required to be made hereunder, the Lessee shall pay
         such deficit to the Lessor and, if the deficit exceeds five percent
         (5%) of the Additional Rent which was previously paid to the Lessor
         with respect to said fiscal year, then the Lessee shall also pay the
         Lessor interest on such deficit at the Overdue Rate from the applicable
         quarterly date that such payment should have originally been made by
         the Lessee to the date that the Lessor receives such payment.

                  3.2.4 OVERPAYMENTS. If the Additional Rent, as finally
         determined for any fiscal year (or portion thereof), is less than the
         amount previously paid with respect thereto by the Lessee, and if no
         Lease Default exists, the Lessee shall notify the Lessor either (a) to
         pay to the Lessee an amount equal to such difference or (b) to grant
         the Lessee a credit against Additional Rent next coming due in the
         amount of such difference.

<PAGE>   36

                  3.2.5 FINAL DETERMINATION. The obligation to pay Additional
         Rent shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term
         (as to Additional Rent payments that are due and payable with respect
         to periods prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Term
         and during any periods that the Lessee remains in possession of the
         Leased Property), and a final reconciliation, taking into account,
         among other relevant adjustments, any contractual allowances which
         related to Gross Revenues that accrued prior to the date of such
         expiration or earlier termination, but which have been determined to be
         not payable. The Lessee's good faith best estimate of the amount of any
         unresolved contractual allowances shall be made not later than two (2)
         years after said expiration or termination date. Within sixty (60) days
         after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, the Lessee
         shall advise the Lessor of the Lessee's best estimate of the
         approximate amount of such adjustments, which estimate shall not be
         binding on the Lessee or have any legal effect whatsoever.

                  3.2.6 BEST EFFORTS TO MAXIMIZE GROSS REVENUES. The Lessee
         further covenants that the operation of the Facility shall be conducted
         in a manner consistent with the prevailing standards and practices
         recognized in the assisted living industry as those customarily
         utilized by first class business operations in the geographic region in
         which the Facility is located. Subject to any applicable Legal
         Requirements, the members of the Leasing Group shall use their best
         efforts to maximize the Facility's Gross Revenues, and to that end, but
         without limiting the foregoing, (a) an adequate staff of employees
         shall be maintained at the Facility and (b) a maximum amount of space
         in the Facility shall be devoted to revenue producing activities and
         only such part thereof shall be devoted for office, storage and
         non-revenue producing purposes as shall be reasonably necessary.

         3.3 CONFIRMATION AND AUDIT OF ADDITIONAL RENT.

                  3.3.1 MAINTAIN ACCOUNTING SYSTEMS. The Lessee shall utilize,
         or cause to be utilized, an accounting system for the Leased Property
         in accordance with usual and customary practices in the assisted living
         industry and in accordance with GAAP which will accurately record all
         Gross Revenues. The Lessee shall retain, for at least three (3) years
         after the expiration of each fiscal year (and in any event until the
         final reconciliation described in Section 3.2 above has been made),
         adequate records conforming to such accounting system showing all Gross
         Revenues for such fiscal year.

                  3.3.2 AUDIT BY LESSOR. The Lessor, at its own expense except
         as provided hereinbelow, shall have the right, from time to time and
         upon reasonable notice to the Lessee, to have the Lessor's accountants
         or representatives audit the information set forth in the Officer's
         Certificate referred to in Section 3.2 and in connection with such
         audits, to examine the Lessee's records with respect thereto (including
         supporting data, income tax and sales tax returns), subject to any
         prohibitions or limitations on disclosure of any such data under
         applicable law or regulations, including without limitation, any duly
         enacted "Patients' Bill of 


<PAGE>   37

         Rights" or similar legislation, including such limitations as may be
         necessary to preserve the confidentiality of any Facility-patient
         relationship and any physician-patient privilege.

                  3.3.3 DEFICIENCIES AND OVERPAYMENTS. If any such audit
         discloses a deficiency in the reporting of Gross Revenues and either
         the Lessee agrees with the result of such audit or the matter is
         compromised, the Lessee shall forthwith pay to the Lessor the amount of
         the deficiency in Additional Rent which would have been payable by it
         had such deficiency in reporting Gross Revenues not occurred, as
         finally agreed or determined, together with interest on the Additional
         Rent which should have been payable by it, calculated at the Overdue
         Rate, from the date when said payment should have been made by the
         Lessee to the date that the Lessor receives such payment.
         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any
         audit that is commenced more than two (2) years after the date Gross
         Revenues for any fiscal year are reported by the Lessee to the Lessor,
         the deficiency, if any, with respect to Additional Rent shall bear
         interest as permitted herein only from the date such determination of
         deficiency is made, unless such deficiency is the result of gross
         negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Lessee (or any
         Affiliate thereof). If any audit conducted for the Lessor pursuant to
         the provisions hereof discloses that (a) the Gross Revenues actually
         received by the Lessee for any fiscal year exceed those reported by the
         Lessee by more than five percent (5%), the Lessee shall pay the
         reasonable cost of such audit and examination or (b) the Lessee has
         overpaid Additional Rent, and if no Lease Default exists, the Lessor
         shall so notify the Lessee and the Lessee shall direct the Lessor
         either (i) to refund the overpayment to the Lessee or (ii) grant a
         credit against Additional Rent next coming due in the amount of such
         difference.

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

         3.4 ADDITIONAL CHARGES. Subject to the rights to contest as set forth
in Article 15, in addition to the Base Rent, (a) 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 Lessee assumes or
agrees to pay under this Lease, and (b) in the event of any failure on the part
of Lessee to pay any of those items referred to in clause (a) above, 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 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. To the extent that Lessee pays any Additional Charges to Lessor
pursuant to any requirement of this Lease, 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.

<PAGE>   38

         3.5 [INTENTIONALLY DELETED].

         3.6 NET LEASE. The Rent shall be paid absolutely net to Lessor, so that
this Lease shall yield to Lessor the full amount of the installments of Base
Rent, and the payments of 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 in this Lease,
         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 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 Lessor and Lessee be otherwise
         affected by reason of (a) any Casualty or any Taking of the Leased
         Property, (b) the lawful or unlawful prohibition of, or restriction
         upon, Lessee's use of the Leased Property or the interference with such
         use by any Person (other than Lessor, except to the extent permitted
         hereunder) or by reason of eviction by paramount title; (c) any claim
         that Lessee has or might have against Lessor, (d) any default or breach
         of any warranty by 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 Lessor or any assignee or transferee of Lessor or (f) any
         other cause whether similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing,
         other than a discharge of Lessee from any of the Lease Obligations as a
         matter of law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amounts collected by
         Lessor under any title insurance policies insuring Lessor's interest in
         the Leased Property (less any costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in
         collecting the same) shall be credited against the Lease Obligations.

                  3.7.2 WAIVER. 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 Lessee to any abatement,
         reduction, suspension or deferment of the Rent or other sums payable by
         Lessee hereunder, except as otherwise specifically and expressly
         provided in this Lease.

                  3.7.3 INDEPENDENT COVENANTS. The obligations of Lessor and
         Lessee hereunder shall be separate and independent covenants and
         agreements and the Rent and all other sums payable by 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 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 Lessor.

         For the purposes of this Section 3.8, the "net amount of the Award
received by Lessor" shall mean the Award paid to Lessor on account of such
Taking, minus all costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in connection therewith,
and minus any amounts paid to or for the account of 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.


                                    ARTICLE 4

                         IMPOSITIONS; TAXES; UTILITIES;
                               INSURANCE PAYMENTS

         4.1 PAYMENT OF IMPOSITIONS.

                  4.1.1 LESSEE TO PAY. Subject to the provisions of Article 15,
         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 Lessee
         will promptly furnish Lessor copies of official receipts or other
         satisfactory proof evidencing payment not later than the last day on
         which the same may be paid without penalty or interest. Subject to the
         provisions of Article 15 and Section 4.1.2, Lessee's obligation to pay
         such Impositions shall be deemed absolutely fixed upon the date such
         Impositions become a lien upon the Leased Property or any part thereof.

                  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),
         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 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. 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 Lessor's net income, gross 

<PAGE>   40

         receipts, franchise taxes and taxes on its capital stock, and 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. Lessor and 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, Lessee shall file all personal property tax returns in such
         jurisdictions where it may legally so file. Lessor, to the extent it
         possesses the same, and 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 Lessor is legally required to
         file personal property tax returns, if Lessee notifies Lessor of the
         obligation to do so in each year at least thirty (30) days prior to the
         date any protest must be filed, Lessee will be provided with copies of
         assessment notices so as to enable Lessee to file a protest.

                  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 Lessee shall be paid over to or retained by Lessee.
         If a Lease Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at Lessor's
         option, such funds shall be paid over to Lessor and/or retained by
         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 Lessor, at Lessee's
         option and sole cost and expense, and subject to compliance with the
         provisions of Article 15, Lessee may contest, protest, appeal, or
         institute such other proceedings as Lessee may deem appropriate to
         effect a reduction of any Imposition and Lessor, at Lessee's cost and
         expense as aforesaid, shall fully cooperate in a reasonable manner with
         Lessee in connection with such protest, appeal or other action.

         4.2 NOTICE OF IMPOSITIONS. Lessor shall give prompt notice to Lessee of
all Impositions payable by Lessee hereunder of which Lessor at any time has
knowledge, but Lessor's failure to give any such notice shall in no way diminish
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 Lessor and Lessee, whether or not such
Impositions are imposed before or after such expiration or termination, and
Lessee's obligation to pay its prorated share thereof shall survive such
expiration or termination.

         4.4 UTILITY CHARGES. Lessee will pay or cause to be paid all charges
for electricity, power, gas, oil, water, telephone and other utilities used in
the Leased Property during the Term and thereafter until Lessee surrenders the
Leased Property in the manner required by this Lease.

<PAGE>   41

         4.5 INSURANCE PREMIUMS. 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 Lessee yields up the Leased
Property in the manner required by this Lease. All such premiums shall be paid
annually in advance and Lessee shall furnish Lessor with evidence satisfactory
to Lessor that all such premiums have been so paid prior to the commencement of
the Term and thereafter at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of each
premium which thereafter becomes due. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee may
pay such insurance premiums to the insurer in monthly installments so long as
the applicable insurer is contractually obligated to give 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 Lessee either to
comply with the insurance requirements in Article 12, or to pay the premiums for
such insurance, or to deliver such policies or certificates thereof to Lessor at
the times required hereunder, 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 Lessee to Lessor.

         4.6 DEPOSITS.

                  4.6.1 LESSOR'S OPTION. Upon a Lease Default, or an event
         which, with the giving of notice or passage of time, and/or both, would
         constitute a Lease Default, at the option of Lessor, which may be
         exercised at any time thereafter, Lessee shall, upon written request of
         Lessor, on the first day of 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 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
         Lessee hereunder shall be estimated by Lessor with an appropriate
         adjustment to be promptly made between Lessor and Lessee as soon as
         such amount becomes determinable. In addition, 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 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 Lessee under this
         Section 4.6 shall be held by 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 Lessor, and
         shall be deposited by Lessor at such bank as Lessor may, from time to
         time select. Lessor may, at its election from 


<PAGE>   42

         time to time exercised, invest all or part of such deposits in one or
         more of the investment vehicles described on EXHIBIT A to the Deposit
         Pledge Agreement. Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee or any other
         Person (a) based on 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.
         Furthermore, Lessor shall bear no responsibility for the financial
         condition of, nor any act or omission by, Lessor's depository bank. The
         income from such investment or interest on such deposit shall be paid
         to 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 of time,
         would constitute a Lease Default. Lessee shall give not less than ten
         (10) days prior written notice to 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 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, Lessee shall not be in
         default hereunder by virtue of the failure of Lessor to pay such
         Imposition or such insurance premium and Lessor shall pay any interest
         or fine assessed by virtue of Lessor's failure to pay such Imposition
         or insurance premium.

                  4.6.3 DEFICITS. If for any reason any deposit held by 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 Lessor, Lessee shall deposit
         an additional amount with Lessor, increasing the deposit held by Lessor
         so that 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. 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 Lessor, Lessee shall
         deposit with Lessor the amount in excess of the sums previously
         deposited with 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 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 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 and still in
         its possession to such assignee (as the subsequent holder 

<PAGE>   43

         of Lessor's interest in this Lease) and upon such transfer and delivery
         of notice thereof to Lessee, the original 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 Lessee shall look solely to said
         assignee, as the subsequent holder of Lessor's interest under this
         Lease, in reference thereto.

                  4.6.6 SECURITY. All amounts deposited with Lessor pursuant to
         the provisions of this Section 4.6 shall be held by Lessor as
         additional security for the payment and performance of the Obligations
         and, upon the occurrence of any Lease Default, 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 Lessor under this
         Section 4.6 shall be refunded to 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. Lessee shall deliver to Lessor copies of all
         notices, demands, claims, bills and receipts in relation to the
         Impositions and insurance premiums immediately upon receipt thereof by
         Lessee.

               OWNERSHIP OF LEASED PROPERTY AND PERSONAL PROPERTY;
                    INSTALLATION, REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF
                               PERSONAL PROPERTY;

         5.1 OWNERSHIP OF THE LEASED PROPERTY. Lessee acknowledges that the
Leased Property is the property of Lessor and that Lessee has only 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. 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 from and after the Conversion Date 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 Lessee.

                  5.2.2 SUFFICIENT PERSONAL PROPERTY. 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 Leased Property,
         from and after the Conversion Date, in 

<PAGE>   44

         compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements and Insurance
         Requirements and otherwise in accordance with customary practice in the
         industry for the Primary Intended Use. In addition, Lessee shall, from
         and after the Conversion Date, (a) furnish all necessary replacements
         of obsolete items of the Tangible Personal Property during the Term,
         unless Lessee provides Lessor with an explanation (reasonably
         acceptable to 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 a year, and more frequently if requested by
         Lessor, deliver to Lessor, a detailed inventory of all such Tangible
         Personal Property.

                  5.2.3 REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT; LESSOR'S OPTION TO PURCHASE.
         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 THIRTY-FIVE THOUSAND
         DOLLARS ($35,000), individually or ONE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
         ($150,000.00) collectively, except if such Tangible Personal Property
         is simultaneously suitably replaced or Lessee provides Lessor with an
         explanation (reasonably satisfactory to 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, 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 Lessee
         or Lessor. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease,
         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 Lessor) upon payment of its book value
         (Lessee's cost, minus depreciation), but not in excess of its fair
         market value or (b) requiring Lessee to remove the Tangible Personal
         Property. If Lessor exercises its option to purchase the Tangible
         Personal Property, the price to be paid by 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 Lessor and (ii) applied
         to the Lease Obligations before any payment to Lessee. If Lessor
         requires the removal of the Tangible Personal Property, then all of the
         Tangible Personal Property that is not removed by Lessee within ten
         (10) days following such request shall be considered abandoned by
         Lessee and may be appropriated, sold, destroyed or otherwise disposed
         of by Lessor without first giving notice thereof to Lessee, without any
         payment to Lessee and without any obligation to account therefor.

                         SECURITY FOR LEASE OBLIGATIONS

         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, Lessee agrees to provide or cause there to
         be provided, among other things, the following security:

                           (a) 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 Cash Collateral;

                           (c) a first lien and exclusive pledge of all of the
                  capital stock of Lessee all as more particularly set forth in
                  the Pledge Agreement. If any Person other than the Lessee
                  shall ever operate the Facility, 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
                  Agreement; and

                           (d) a first lien and exclusive pledge and assignment
                  of, and security interest in, all Permits and Contracts, as
                  more particularly provided for in the Permits Assignments.

                  6.1.2 PURCHASE-MONEY SECURITY INTERESTS AND EQUIPMENT LEASES.
         Notwithstanding any other provision hereof regarding the creation of
         Liens, but subject to Section 11.3.4, Lessee may (a) grant priority
         purchase money security interests in items of Tangible Personal
         Property and (b) lease Tangible Personal Property from equipment
         lessors for the exclusive use of the Facility, as long as in each
         instance: (i) the secured party or equipment lessor enters into an
         intercreditor agreement with, and satisfactory to, Lessor, pursuant to
         which, without limiting the foregoing, (x) Lessor shall be afforded the
         option of curing defaults and the option of succeeding to the rights of
         Lessee and (y) 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 financing, security interest or lease are reasonably acceptable to
         Lessor, (iii) Lessee provides a true and complete copy, as executed, of
         each such purchase money security agreement, financing document and
         equipment lease and all amendments thereto and (iv) no such security
         interest, financing agreement or lease is cross-defaulted or
         cross-collateralized with any other obligation. Notwithstanding the
         foregoing, Lessee may lease, or grant purchase money security interests
         in, new items of Tangible Personal Property having an aggregate cost
         during the Term in an amount not to exceed TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
         ($200,000) without complying with the foregoing requirements, provided
         that Lessee shall provide Lessor with a true and complete copy, as
         executed, of each purchase money security agreement, related financing
         document and equipment lease, and all amendments thereto. Security
         interests granted by Lessee in full compliance with the provisions of
         this Section 6.1.2 are referred to as "Permitted Prior Security
         Interests".

         6.2 GUARANTIES. Completion of the Facility shall be unconditionally and
irrevocably guaranteed by the Guarantor pursuant to the Completion Guaranty and
the Pledgor's obligations under the Note shall be unconditionally and
irrevocably guaranteed by the Lessee pursuant to the Lessee's Guaranty.

                      CONDITION AND USE OF LEASED PROPERTY;
                              MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS

         7.1 CONDITION OF THE LEASED PROPERTY. Lessee acknowledges receipt and
delivery of possession of the Leased Property and that 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. Lessee is leasing
the Leased Property "AS-IS" in its present condition. Lessee waives any claim or
action against Lessor in respect of the condition of the Leased Property. 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 LESSEE. LESSEE HEREBY ASSUMES ALL RISK OF THE PHYSICAL CONDITION OF
THE LEASED PROPERTY, THE SUITABILITY OF THE LEASED PROPERTY FOR LESSEE'S
PURPOSES, AND THE COMPLIANCE OR NON-COMPLIANCE OF THE LEASED PROPERTY WITH ALL
APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS OF LAW, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS
AND ZONING OR LAND USE LAWS.

         Upon the request of Lessor, accompanied by an explanation reasonably
establishing a justification for such request, at any time and from time to time
during the Term, Lessee shall engage one (1) or more independent professional
consultants, engineers and inspectors, qualified to do business in the State and
acceptable to Lessor to perform any environmental and/or structural
investigations and/or other inspections of the Leased Property and the Facility
as 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 patients, 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 Lessor reasonably determines that the results of
such testing or inspections are unsatisfactory, within thirty (30) days of
notice from Lessor, Lessee shall commence such appropriate remedial actions as
may be reasonably requested by 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. From and after the Conversion
         Date, Lessee shall continuously operate the Leased Property in
         accordance with the Primary Intended Use and maintain its
         qualifications for licensure and accreditation as required by all
         applicable Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements.

                  7.2.2 PERMITTED USES. From and after the Conversion Date,
         Lessee shall use the Leased Property, or permit the Leased Property to
         be used, only for the Primary Intended Use and, prior to the Conversion
         Date, the Leased Property may only be used for the completion of the
         construction of the Project in accordance with the terms of the
         Leasehold Improvement Agreement. 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 Lessor, which consent may be
         withheld in 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 Lessee, any Manager or any
         other Person sell or otherwise provide to any patients, 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, 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.

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

                  7.2.5 NO IMPAIRMENT. Lessee shall neither suffer nor permit
         the Leased Property to be used in such a manner as (a) might reasonably
         tend to impair 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,
         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. Lessee covenants and agrees
that the Leased Property shall not be used for any unlawful purpose and that
Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, will 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, 

<PAGE>   49

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 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, Lessee may, upon prior written notice
to Lessor, contest any Legal Requirement to the extent permitted by, and in
accordance with, Article 15.

         7.4 MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS. From and after the Commencement Date, Lessee
shall not enter into any Management Agreement without the prior written approval
of Lessor, in each instance, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Lessee shall not, without the prior written approval of Lessor, in each
instance, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, agree to or allow:
(a) any change in the Manager or change in the ownership or control of the
Manager, (b) any change in the Management Agreement, (c) the termination of any
Management Agreement (other than in connection with the exercise by Lessee of
any of its remedies under any Management Agreement as a result of any default by
any Manager thereunder), (d) any assignment by the Manager of its interest under
the Management Agreement or (e) any material amendment of the Management
Agreement. In addition, Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly and
fully perform or cause to be performed every covenant, condition, promise and
obligation of the licensed operator of the Leased Property under any Management
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Lessee enters into
any Management Agreement with an Affiliate of Lessee, Lessor shall consent to
the execution and delivery of such Management Agreement provided, that,
concurrently with the execution and delivery of such Management Agreement, the
Affiliated Party Subordination Agreement is amended so as to add as a party
thereto the applicable Affiliate of Lessee that is to be the Manager (so that
the payments to be made under such Management Agreement are fully subordinated
to the Lease Obligations).

         Each Management Agreement shall provide that Lessor shall be provided
notice of any defaults thereunder and, at Lessor's option, an opportunity to
cure such default. Lessee shall furnish to Lessor, within three (3) days after
receipt thereof, or after the mailing or service thereof by Lessee, as the case
may be, a copy of each notice of default which Lessee shall give to, or receive
from any Person, based upon the occurrence, or alleged occurrence, of any
default in the performance of any covenant, condition, promise or obligation
under any Management Agreement.

         Whenever and as often as Lessee shall fail to perform, promptly and
fully, at its sole cost and expense, any covenant, condition, promise or
obligation on the part of the licensed operator of the Leased Property under and
pursuant to any Management Agreement, Lessor, or a lawfully appointed receiver
of the Leased Property, may, at their respective options (and without any
obligation to do so), after five (5) days' prior notice to Lessee (except in the
case of an emergency) enter upon the Leased Property and perform, 

<PAGE>   50

or cause to be performed, such work, labor, services, acts or things, and take
such other steps and do such other acts as they may deem advisable, to cure such
defaulted covenant, condition, promise or obligation, and any amount so paid or
advanced by Lessor or such receiver and all costs and expenses reasonably
incurred in connection therewith (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees
and expenses and court costs), shall be a demand obligation of Lessee to Lessor
or such receiver, and, Lessor shall have the same rights and remedies for
failure to pay such costs on demand as for Lessee's failure to pay any other
sums due hereunder.

                              REPAIRS; RESTRICTIONS

         8.1 MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR.

                  8.1.1 LESSEE'S RESPONSIBILITY. Lessee, at its sole cost and
         expense, shall keep the Leased Property and all private roadways,
         sidewalks and curbs appurtenant thereto which are under Lessee's
         control in good order and repair (whether or not the need for such
         repairs occurs as a result of 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, 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 Lessee surrenders the
         Leased Property in the manner required by this Lease. In addition,
         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, from and after the Conversion Date, 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.
         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, Lessee shall obtain 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 Lessee in connection with such Material
         Structural Work. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a bona
         fide emergency during which Lessee is unable to contact the appropriate
         representatives of Lessor, Lessee may commence such Material Structural
         Work as may be necessary in order to address such emergency without
         Lessor's prior approval, provided, however, that Lessee shall
         immediately thereafter advise Lessor of such emergency and the nature
         and scope of the Material Structural Work commenced and shall obtain
         Lessor's approval of the remaining Material Structural Work to be
         completed.

<PAGE>   52

                  8.1.2 NO LESSOR OBLIGATION. 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 Lessor shall be construed as (a)
         constituting the consent or request of 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 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 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
         Lessor in the Leased Property. Without limiting the generality of the
         foregoing, the right title and interest of 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 Lessee or any other Person other than Lessor. 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 Lessor, Lessee
shall, at its sole cost and expense, subject to 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 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, 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 

<PAGE>   53

encroachment, violation or impairment as contemplated by this Lease, the
Leasehold Improvement Agreement and the other Lease Documents and nothing
contained herein shall limit Lessee's obligations to operate the Leased
Property, from and after the Conversion Date, 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. 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 Lessor,
which consent may be withheld by Lessor, in its sole and absolute discretion,
Lessee shall make no Capital Addition or Material Structural Work to the Leased
Property (including, without limitation, any change in the size or unit or bed
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 Lessor has granted its prior written
approval, the following terms and conditions shall apply unless otherwise
expressly set forth in Lessor's written approval.

                  9.2.1 NO LIENS. 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 Lessee desires to undertake any Capital
         Addition or Material Structural Work, Lessee shall submit to Lessor in
         writing a proposal setting forth in reasonable detail any proposed
         Capital Addition or Material Structural Work and shall provide to
         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 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 Lessee anticipates will result from the construction of
         such Capital Addition.

                  9.2.3 LESSOR'S OPTIONS REGARDING CAPITAL ADDITIONS AND
         MATERIAL STRUCTURAL WORK. Lessor shall have the options of: (a) denying
         permission for the 

<PAGE>   54

         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
         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 Lessor may in its discretion impose or
         (d) any combination of the foregoing. Unless Lessor notifies Lessee in
         writing of a contrary election within forty-five (45) days of Lessee's
         request, 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 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. Lessee may request that
         Lessor provide or arrange financing for a Capital Addition or Material
         Structural Work by providing to Lessor such information about the
         Capital Addition or Material Structural Work as Lessor may reasonably
         request, including, without limitation, all information referred to in
         Section 9.2 above. Lessee understands, however, that Lessor shall be
         under no obligation to agree to such request. Nevertheless, Lessor
         shall use reasonable efforts to notify Lessee, within forty-five (45)
         days of receipt of such information, as to whether 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 Lessor's then existing terms and
         prevailing conditions to compensate Lessor for the additional funds
         advanced by it). Lessee may withdraw its request by notice to Lessor at
         any time before such time as Lessee accepts Lessor's terms and
         conditions. All advances of funds for any such financing shall be made
         in accordance with 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 Lessor agrees to
         finance the proposed Capital Addition or Material Structural Work and
         Lessee accepts Lessor's proposal therefor, in addition to all other
         items which Lessor or any applicable Financing Party may reasonably
         require, Lessee shall provide to Lessor the following:

                           (a) prior to any advance of funds, (i) any
                  information, opinions, certificates, Permits or documents
                  reasonably requested by Lessor or any applicable Financing
                  Party which are necessary to confirm that Lessee will be able
                  to use the Capital Addition upon the completion thereof or the

<PAGE>   55

                  applicable portion of the Facility upon the completion of the

                  Intended Use and (ii) evidence satisfactory to Lessor and any
                  applicable Financing Party that all Permits required for the
                  construction and use of the Capital Addition or the applicable
                  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 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;

                  Lease and any recorded notice or memorandum thereof, duly
                  executed and acknowledged, in form and substance reasonably

                  or the Material Structural Work, if reasonably deemed
                  necessary by Lessor, an appraisal of the Leased Property by an
                  M.A.I. appraiser acceptable to Lessor, which states that the
                  Fair Market Value of the Leased Property upon completion of
                  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 five percent (105%) of the Capital Addition Cost or
                  the cost of the Material Structural Work; and

                           (i) during or following the advancement of funds,

                  the Capital Addition or the Material Structural Work and such
                  other materials, including, without limitation, endorsements
                  to the title insurance policies (insuring Lessor and any
                  applicable Financing Party with respect to the Leased
                  Property) contemplated by subsection (f) above, opinions of
                  counsel, appraisals, surveys, certified copies of duly adopted
                  resolutions of the board of directors of Lessee authorizing
                  the execution and delivery of the lease amendment and any
                  other documents and instruments as may be reasonably required
                  by 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, Lessee shall be deemed to
         have agreed to pay, upon demand, all costs and expenses reasonably
         incurred by Lessor and any Person participating with 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 respective
         attorneys, (b) all photocopying expenses, if any, (c) the amount of any
         filing, registration and recording taxes and fees, (d) documentary
         stamp taxes and intangible taxes and (e) title insurance charges and
         appraisal fees.

         9.4 GENERAL LIMITATIONS. Without in any way limiting 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 Lessee to comply with the terms of this Lease, (b) no Capital
Addition or Material Structural Work shall be completed which would tie in or
connect any Leased Improvements on the Leased Property with any 

<PAGE>   57

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 Lessee shall have obtained
the prior written approval of Lessor, which approval may be withheld in 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. 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, Lessee shall
always comply with and satisfy the conditions of Section 9.4, mutatis, mutandis.
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 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 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 TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($25,000.00), 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 Lessee is unable to contact the
appropriate representatives of Lessor, Lessee may commence such additions,
modifications and improvements as may be necessary in order to address such
emergency without Lessor's prior approval, as long as Lessee immediately
thereafter advises Lessor of such emergency and the nature and scope of the
additions, modifications and improvements performed and obtains Lessor's
approval of the remaining work to be completed.

                         WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS

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

<PAGE>   58

                  10.1.1 EXISTENCE; POWER; QUALIFICATION.

                  Lessee is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and
         in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Lessee has
         all requisite corporate power to own and operate its properties and to
         carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted
         and is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in
         each jurisdiction where such qualification is 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, Lessee does not have
         any Subsidiaries and Lessee is not a member of any partnership or joint
         venture. Attached hereto as EXHIBIT C is a true and correct list of all
         of the shareholders of Lessee and their respective ownership interests
         in Lessee.

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

                  10.1.3 SINGLE PURPOSE. Lessee is, and during the entire time
         that this Lease remains in force and effect shall be, engaged in no
         business, trade or activity other than the construction of the Project
         in accordance with the terms of the Leasehold Improvement Agreement
         and, from and after the Conversion Date, operation of the Leased
         Property for the Primary Intended Use. The fiscal year of Lessee and
         the Guarantor is the Fiscal Year.

                  10.1.4 NO VIOLATION. 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, the Construction
         Contract or the Architect's Agreement 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 Lessor of the 

<PAGE>   59

         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 there are 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 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.

                  10.1.8 COMMERCIAL ACTS. 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>   60

                  10.1.10 NOT DELINQUENT. 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. 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 Lessee that is not fully
         subordinated to the Lease Obligations pursuant to the Affiliated Party
         Subordination Agreement or the Subordination and Standstill 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 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 Lessor continue to be reasonable (with respect to the
         material assumptions upon which such projections are based) and 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 Lessee, threatened, anticipated or
         contemplated (nor, to the knowledge of 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) 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) [Intentionally deleted]; and

                  (d) Lessee has delivered or caused to be delivered to Lessor
         true and correct copies of all licenses, inspection surveys and
         accreditation reviews relating to the Leased Property, issued by any
         Governmental Authority or Accreditation Body during the most recent
         licensing period, together with all plans of correction relating
         thereto.

<PAGE>   62

                  10.1.15 COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL AND OTHER REQUIREMENTS.

                  (a) 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 Lessee. Without limiting the foregoing, 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 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) Lessee knows of no impediments to Lessee and the Facility
         becoming licensed by the Department of Social Services (and/or any
         appropriate Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the operation
         of the Facility), on or before the Conversion Date to operate eighty
         (80) licensed beds (located in eighty (80) units) at the Facility.

                  10.1.16 NO ACTION BY GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY. There is no
         action pending or, to the best knowledge and belief of Lessee,
         recommended, by any Governmental Authority or Accreditation Body 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.

         are listed on EXHIBIT B or were listed on the UCC lien search results
         delivered to 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, including, without
         limitation, the First Leasehold Mortgage and the Second Leasehold
         Mortgage (collectively referred to herein as the "Permitted
         Encumbrances"); and Lessee shall warrant and defend 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 Lessee is not
         aware, to the best of Lessee's knowledge and belief, that any such
         proceeding is contemplated;

         Collateral or the Leased Property has been damaged by any fire or other
         casualty;

                  (d) None of the Permitted Encumbrances has or is likely to

         accordance with the Primary Intended Use;

                  (e) Upon the completion of construction of the Project, all

         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

         parcel as any part of the Leased Property; and

                  (h) Prior to the completion of construction of the Project,

                  of the Project or 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 Lessor to

<PAGE>   64

                  (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.

                  10.1.19 RATE LIMITATIONS. Except as disclosed on EXHIBIT F,
         the State currently imposes no restrictions or limitations on rates
         which may be charged to private pay residents receiving services at the
         Facility.

                  10.1.20 FREE CARE. Except as disclosed on EXHIBIT G, there are
         no Contracts, Permits or Legal Requirements which require that, upon
         completion of construction of the Project, a percentage of beds or
         slots in any program at the Facility be reserved for Medicaid or
         Medicare eligible patients (or residents) or that the Facility provide
         a certain amount of welfare, free or charity care or discounted or
         government assisted patient (or resident) care.

                  10.1.21 NO PROPOSED CHANGES. Lessee has no actual knowledge of
         any Legal Requirements which have been enacted, promulgated or issued
         within the eighteen (18) months preceding the date of this Lease or any
         proposed Legal Requirements currently 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 patients (or residents) at the Facility or
         require that Lessee or the Facility obtain a certificate of need,
         Section 1122 approval or the equivalent, which Lessee or the Facility
         does not currently possess.

                  10.1.22 ERISA. No employee pension benefit plan maintained by
         any member of the Leasing Group has any accumulated funding deficiency
         within the meaning of the ERISA, nor does any member of the 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 the Internal
         Revenue Code of 1986, as now or hereafter amended, respectively.

                  10.1.23 NO BROKER. No member of the Leasing Group nor any of

         nor any of their respective Affiliates has:

<PAGE>   65

                           (a) made any contributions, payments or gifts of its
                 funds or property to or for the private use of any government
                 official, employee, agent or other Person where either the
                 payment or the purpose of such contribution, payment 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 or
                 asset for any purpose or has made any false or artificial
                 entries on any of its books or records for any reason;

                           (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 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 Lessee
         which has not been disclosed herein or in writing to Lessor that
         materially adversely affects, or in the future, insofar as 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. 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. Lessee is not an "investment
         company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
         amended.

<PAGE>   66

                  10.1.27 NO DEFAULT. No event or state of facts which
         constitutes, or which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, could

         in all Third Party Payor Programs (which would be participated in by a
         prudent operator in the good faith exercise of commercially reasonable
         business judgment), in accordance with all requirements thereof
         (including, without limitation, all applicable Provider Agreements),
         and shall remain eligible to participate in such Third Party Payor
         Programs, all as shall be necessary for the prudent operation of the
         Facility in the good faith exercise of commercially reasonable business
         judgment.

                  11.4.6 CONDUCT OF ITS BUSINESS. Lessee will maintain, and
         cause any Sublessee and any Manager to maintain, experienced and
         competent professional management with respect to its business and,
         from and after the Conversion Date, with respect to the Leased
         Property. Lessee, any Sublessee and any Manager shall conduct, in the
         ordinary course, the operation of the Facility, and Lessee and any
         Sublessee shall not enter into any other business or venture during the
         Term or such time as Lessee or any Sublessee is in possession of the
         Leased Property.

                  11.4.7 ADDRESS. Lessee shall provide Lessor thirty (30) days'
         prior written notice of any change of its Principal Place of Business
         from its current Principal Place of Business. Lessee shall maintain the
         Collateral, including without limitation, all books and records
         relating to its business, solely at its Principal Place of Business and
         at the Leased Property. Lessee shall not (a) remove the Collateral,
         including, without limitation, any books or records relating to
         Lessee's 


<PAGE>   75

         business from either the Leased Property or Lessee's Principal Place of
         Business or (b) relocate its Principal Place of Business until after
         receipt of a certificate from Lessor, signed by an officer thereof,
         stating that Lessor has, to its satisfaction, obtained all
         documentation that it deems necessary or desirable to obtain, maintain,
         perfect and confirm the first priority security interests granted in
         the Lease Documents.

                  11.4.8 SUBORDINATION OF CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS. Without limiting
         the provisions of any other Section of this Lease or the Affiliated
         Party Subordination Agreement, any payments to be made by Lessee to (a)
         any member of the Leasing Group (or any Affiliate of any member of the
         Leasing Group) or (b) any Affiliate of Lessee, in connection with any
         transaction between Lessee and such Person, including, without
         limitation, the purchase, sale or exchange of any property, the
         rendering of any service to or with any such Person (including, without
         limitation, all allocations of any so-called corporate or central
         office costs, expenses and charges of any kind or nature) or the making
         of any loan or other extension of credit or the making of any equity
         investment, shall be subordinate to the complete payment and
         performance of the Lease Obligations; provided, however, that all such
         subordinated payments may be paid at any time unless: (x) after giving
         effect to such payment, Lessee shall be unable to comply with any of
         its obligations under any of the Lease Documents or (y) a Lease Default
         has occurred and is continuing and has not been expressly waived in
         writing by Lessor or an event or state of facts exists, which, with the
         giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a
         Lease Default.

                  11.4.9 INSPECTION. At reasonable times and upon reasonable
         notice, Lessee shall permit Lessor and its authorized representatives
         (including, without limitation, the Consultants) to inspect the Leased
         Property as provided in Section 7.1 above.

                  11.4.10 ADDITIONAL PROPERTY. In the event that at any time
         during the Term, Lessee holds the fee title to or a leasehold interest
         in any real property and/or personal property which is used as an
         integral part of the operation of the Leased Property (but is not
         subject to this Lease), Lessee shall (i) provide Lessor with prior
         notice of such acquisition and (ii) shall take such actions and enter
         into such agreements as Lessor shall reasonably request in order to
         grant Lessor a first priority mortgage or other security interest in
         such real property and personal property, subject only to the Permitted
         Encumbrances and other Liens reasonably acceptable to Lessor.

                  11.4.11 ANNUAL FACILITY UPGRADE EXPENDITURES. Commencing with
         the third Lease Year to occur in the Term, Lessee shall make an Annual
         Facility Upgrade Expenditure in the Facility in an amount no less than
         TWO HUNDRED FIFTY DOLLARS ($250) multiplied by the number of units in
         the Facility, such amount to be increased as of the first day of the
         fourth Lease Year, and as of the first day of each subsequent Lease
         Year, by an amount equal to the product of (i) TWO HUNDRED FIFTY
         DOLLARS ($250) multiplied by (ii) the Consumer Price Adjustment Factor.

         11.5 ADDITIONAL NEGATIVE COVENANTS. Lessee covenants and agrees that,
throughout the Term and such time as Lessee remains in possession of the Leased
Property:

                  11.5.1 RESTRICTIONS RELATING TO LESSEE. Except as may
         otherwise be expressly provided in Section 19.4 or in any of the other
         Lease Documents, Lessee shall not, without the prior written consent of
         Lessor, in each instance, which consent may be withheld in the sole and
         absolute discretion of Lessor:

                           (a) convey, assign, hypothecate, transfer, dispose of
                 or encumber, or permit the conveyance, assignment, transfer,
                 hypothecation, disposal or encumbrance of all or any part of
                 any legal or beneficial interest in this Lease, its other
                 assets or the Leased Property; provided, however, that this
                 restriction shall not apply to (i) the Permitted Encumbrances
                 that may be created on or after the date hereof pursuant to the
                 Lease Documents; (ii) Liens created in accordance with Section
                 6.1.2 against Tangible Personal Property securing Indebtedness

                 leasing or financing for the exclusive use of the Leased
                 Property; (iii) the sale, conveyance, assignment,
                 hypothecation, lease or other transfer of any material asset or

                 market value of which equals or is less than THIRTY-FIVE
                 THOUSAND DOLLARS ($35,000), individually, or ONE HUNDRED FIFTY
                 THOUSAND DOLLARS ($150,000) collectively; (iv) without
                 limitation as to amount, the disposition in the ordinary course
                 of business of any obsolete, worn out or defective fixtures,
                 furnishings or equipment used in the operation of the Leased
                 Property provided that the same are replaced with fixtures,
                 furnishings or equipment of equal or greater utility or value
                 or Lessee provides Lessor with an explanation (reasonably
                 satisfactory to Lessor) as to why such fixtures, furnishings or
                 equipment is no longer required in connection with the
                 operation of the Leased Property; (v) without limitation as to
                 amount, any sale of inventory by Lessee in the ordinary course
                 of business; and (vi) subject to the terms of the Pledge
                 Agreement and the Affiliated Party Subordination Agreement,

                           (b) permit the use of the Facility, from and after
                 the Conversion Date, for any purpose other than the Primary
                 Intended Use; or

                           (c) liquidate, dissolve or merge or consolidate with
                  any other Person.

                  11.5.2 NO LIENS. 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 Leased Property
         (including Lessee's interest therein) or Lessee's interest in this
         Lease or any of the other Lease Documents, or in respect of the Rent,
         excluding (a) this Lease and any permitted 

<PAGE>   77

         Subleases, (b) the Permitted Encumbrances, (c) Liens which are
         consented to in writing by Lessor, (d) Liens for those taxes of Lessor
         which Lessee is not required to pay hereunder, (e) Liens of mechanics,
         laborers, materialmen, suppliers or vendors for sums either not yet due
         or being contested in strict compliance with the terms and conditions
         of Article 15, (f) any Liens which are the responsibility of Lessor
         pursuant to the provisions of Article 20, (g) Liens for Impositions

         being contested in strict compliance with the terms and conditions of
         Article 15, and (h) involuntary Liens caused by the actions or
         omissions of Lessor.

                  11.5.3 LIMITS ON CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS. Lessee shall not enter
         into any transaction with any Affiliate or any member of the Leasing
         Group (or any Affiliate thereof), including, without limitation, the
         purchase, sale or exchange of any property, the rendering of any
         service to or with any Affiliate and the making of any loan or other
         extension of credit, except in the ordinary course of, and pursuant to
         the reasonable requirements of, Lessee's business and upon fair and
         reasonable terms no less favorable to the Lessee than would be obtained
         in a comparable arms'-length transaction with any Person that is not an
         Affiliate.

                  11.5.4 NON-COMPETITION. Lessee acknowledges that upon and
         after any termination of this Lease, any competition by any member of
         the Leasing Group with any subsequent owner or subsequent lessee of the
         Leased Property (the "Purchaser") would cause irreparable harm to
         Lessor and any such Purchaser. To induce Lessor to enter into this
         Lease, Lessee agrees that, from and after the date hereof and
         thereafter until the fifth (5th) anniversary of the termination hereof,
         no member of the Leasing Group nor any Person holding or controlling,
         directly or indirectly, any interest in any member of the Leasing Group
         (collectively, the "Limited Parties") shall be involved in any capacity
         in or lend any of their names to or engage in any capacity in any adult
         care residence or other similar senior housing facility (or any other
         facility included within the definition of Primary Intended Use),
         center, unit or program (or in any Person engaged in any such activity
         or any related activity competitive therewith), whether such
         competitive activity shall be as an officer, director, owner, employee,
         agent, advisor, independent contractor, developer, lender, sponsor,
         venture capitalist, administrator, manager, investor, partner, joint
         venturer, consultant or other participant in any capacity whatsoever
         with respect to an adult care residence or other similar senior housing
         facility (or any other facility included within the definition of
         Primary Intended Use), center, unit or program located within a ten
         (10) mile radius of the Leased Property.

                  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 Lessee that
         each and all of the restrictive covenants set forth hereinabove shall
         be valid and enforceable as specifically set forth herein. Lessee
         further agrees that these restrictions are special, unique,
         extraordinary and reasonably necessary for the protection of Lessor and
         any Purchaser and that the violation of any such covenant by any of the
         Limited Parties would cause irreparable damage to Lessor and any
         Purchaser for which a legal remedy alone would not be sufficient to
         fully protect such parties.

<PAGE>   78

                  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 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) 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 Lessor or
         any Purchaser, whether predicated on this Lease or otherwise, shall not
         constitute a defense to the enforcement by 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 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. Lessee shall not commit any default or
         breach under any of the Lease Documents.

                  11.5.6 RESTRICTIONS RELATING TO THE GUARANTOR AND THE
         DEVELOPER. Except as may otherwise be expressly provided herein or in
         any of the other Lease Documents, neither the Guarantor nor the
         Developer shall, without the prior written consent of Lessor, in each
         instance, which consent may be withheld in the sole and absolute
         discretion of Lessor, convey, assign, donate, sell, mortgage or pledge
         any real or personal property or take any other action which would have
         a materially adverse effect upon the Tangible Net Worth or general
         financial condition of the Guarantor or the Developer, as the case may
         be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the provisions of
         Section 11.3, the Guarantor may guaranty obligations of any of its
         present or future Affiliates.

<PAGE>   79

                  11.5.7 [INTENTIONALLY DELETED].

                  11.5.8 ERISA. Lessee shall not establish or permit any
         Sublessee to 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 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. Lessee will not waive, or
         permit any sublessee or Manager which is an Affiliate to 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 Lessor as of the date hereof, Lessee will not
         write up (by creating an appraisal surplus or otherwise) the value of
         any assets of Lessee above their cost to Lessee, less the depreciation
         regularly allowable thereon.

                  11.5.11 CHANGES IN FISCAL YEAR AND ACCOUNTING PROCEDURES.
         Lessee shall not, without the prior written consent of Lessor, in each
         instance, which consent may be withheld in Lessor's reasonable
         discretion (a) change its fiscal year or capital structure (except as
         may be otherwise permitted by Lessor in connection with any transfer
         permitted under Section 19.4 and, even then, only after the complete
         satisfaction of all requirements of Lessor relating to such transfers)
         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
         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 Lessee.

         11.6 ACCESS TO RECORDS. To the extent required by applicable law, the
Lessor shall (and, if the Lessor carries out any of the duties under this Lease,
whether on the Lessor's or the Lessee's behalf, through a subcontract with a
related organization and such subcontract has a value or cost of Ten Thousand
Dollars ($10,000) or more during any twelve (12) month period, such subcontract
shall contain a clause to the effect that the subcontractor shall) until the
expiration of four (4) years after the furnishing of services pursuant to this
Lease, make available, upon request by the Secretary of Health and Human
Services or upon the request by the U.S. Comptroller General, or any duly
authorized representative of either of them, the books, documents and records of
the Lessor (or such subcontractor) that are necessary to verify the nature and
extent of such costs in connection with said services.

                             INSURANCE AND INDEMNITY

         12.1 GENERAL INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS. During the Term of this Lease and
thereafter until Lessee surrenders the Leased Property in the manner required by
this Lease, Lessee shall at its sole cost and expense keep the Leased Property
and the Tangible Personal Property located thereon and the business operations
conducted on the Leased Property insured as set forth below.

                 12.1.1 TYPES AND AMOUNTS OF INSURANCE. Lessee's insurance
         shall include the following:

                           (a) property loss and physical damage insurance on an
                 all-risk basis (with only such exceptions as Lessor may in its
                 reasonable discretion approve) covering the Leased Property
                 (exclusive of Land) for its full replacement cost, which cost
                 shall be reset once a year at Lessor's option, with an
                 agreed-amount endorsement and a deductible not in excess of TEN
                 THOUSAND DOLLARS ($10,000.00). Such insurance shall include,

                 the undamaged portion of the Facility and (iv) contingent
                 liability from the operation of building laws, less exclusions

                 builder's-risk, completed value, non-reporting form with
                 permission to occupy and may be maintained by the Developer as
                 long as Lessor and Lessee are named as additional named
                 insureds on any insurance policy maintained by the Developer
                 and all other requirements set forth herein that are applicable
                 to such insurance are met;

                           (b) flood insurance (if the Leased Property or any
                 portion thereof is situated in an area which is considered a
                 flood risk area by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
                 Development or any other Governmental Authority that may in the
                 future have jurisdiction over flood risk analysis) in limits
                 acceptable to Lessor;

                           (c) boiler and machinery insurance (including related

                 in an amount equal to the annual Base Rent due hereunder plus

                 Property due and payable during one year;

                           (g) comprehensive general public liability insurance
                 including coverages commonly found in the Broad Form Commercial

                           (i) physical damage insurance on an all-risk basis
                 (with only such exceptions as Lessor in its reasonable

                 Property for the full replacement cost thereof and with a
                 deductible not in excess of one percent (1%) of the full

                 amounts equal for Workers' Compensation, to the statutory
                 benefits payable to employees in the State and for Employers'
                 Liability, to limits of not less than ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND
                 DOLLARS ($100,000) for injury by accident, ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND

                 required by applicable Legal Requirements and/or by any Fee

                 12.1.2 INSURANCE COMPANY REQUIREMENTS. All such insurance

                 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 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 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 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 cancelled
                 or materially modified except upon thirty (30) days' prior
                 written notice to Lessor and any Fee Mortgagee;

                           (d) be payable to 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 Lessor and any
                 Fee Mortgagee;

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

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

                 12.1.4 NOTICES; CERTIFICATES AND POLICIES. Lessee shall
         promptly provide to Lessor copies of any and all notices (including
         notice of non-renewal but excluding invoices for premiums due but not
         delinquent), claims and demands which Lessee receives from insurers of
         the Leased Property. At least ten (10) days prior to the expiration of
         any insurance policy required hereunder, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor
         certificates and evidence of insurance relating to all renewals and
         replacements thereof, together with evidence, satisfactory to Lessor,
         of payment of the premiums thereon. Lessee shall deliver to 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) thirty (30) days
         after the effective date of each such policy and (b) ten (10) days
         after receipt thereof by Lessee.

                 12.1.5 LESSOR'S RIGHT TO PLACE INSURANCE. If Lessee shall fail
         to obtain any insurance policy required hereunder by Lessor, or shall
         fail to deliver the 

<PAGE>   83

         certificate and evidence of insurance relating to any such policy to
         Lessor, or if any insurance policy required hereunder (or any part
         thereof) shall expire or be cancelled or become void or voidable by
         reason of any breach of any condition thereof, or if 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 Lessor, 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
         Lessor, and, at its option, Lessor may obtain such insurance and pay
         the premium or premiums therefor; in which event, any amount so paid or
         advanced by 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 Lessee to 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 Lessor alone
         (rather than jointly to Lessee and Lessor). Lessor is hereby authorized
         to adjust and compromise any such loss with the consent of Lessee or,
         following any Lease Default, whether or not cured, without the consent
         of Lessee, and to collect and receive such proceeds in the name of
         Lessor and Lessee, and Lessee appoints Lessor (or any agent designated
         by Lessor) as Lessee's attorney-in-fact with full power of
         substitution, to endorse 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 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 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.

                 12.1.7 IRREVOCABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY. The power of attorney
         conferred on 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 Lessee may suffer
         and shall survive the same. Such power of attorney, is provided solely
         to protect the interests of Lessor and shall not impose any duty on
         Lessor to exercise any such power, and neither 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, 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
         Lessee and its Affiliates; provided, however, that the coverage
         afforded to Lessor shall not be reduced or diminished or 

<PAGE>   84

         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. Lessee shall not, on 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 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 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.
         Lessee shall immediately notify 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. Lessee hereby assigns
         to Lessor all rights of Lessee in and to any unearned premiums on any
         insurance policy required hereunder to be furnished by Lessee which may
         become payable or are refundable after the occurrence of an Event of
         Default hereunder, which amounts may be utilized by Lessor for any
         purposes allowed hereunder or credited against the Lease Obligations.
         In the event that this Lease is terminated for any reason (other than
         the purchase of the Leased Property by Lessee), the insurance policies
         required to be maintained hereunder, including all right, title and
         interest of Lessee thereunder, shall become the absolute property of
         Lessor.

         12.2 INDEMNITY.

                 12.2.1 INDEMNIFICATION. Except with respect to the gross
         negligence or wilful misconduct of Lessor or any of the other
         Indemnified Parties, as to which no indemnity is provided, Lessee
         hereby agrees to defend with counsel acceptable to Lessor, indemnify
         and hold harmless 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, 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 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
         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) 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) 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 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 Lessee under this Section 12.2.1 shall be a
         demand obligation of Lessee to 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.

<PAGE>   86

                 12.2.3 LIMITATION ON LESSOR LIABILITY. Neither Lessor nor any
         Affiliate of Lessor shall be liable to any member of the Leasing Group
         or any Affiliate of any 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 Lessee and Lessor shall not in any manner be held
         responsible therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor shall not
         be released from liability for any injury, loss, damage or liability
         suffered directly by Lessee to the extent caused directly by the gross
         negligence or willful misconduct of 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 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 Lessor in accordance with the provisions of Article
         20) is assumed by Lessee and, in the absence of the gross negligence or
         willful misconduct as set forth in Section 12.2.3, 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 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"), Lessee shall give immediate written notice
         thereof to Lessor and, subject to the terms of this Article 13, Lessee
         shall proceed with reasonable diligence, 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 eighty (180) 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 three-hundred and sixty-five (365) 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 TWENTY-FIVE
         THOUSAND DOLLARS ($25,000) or in any structural damage to the Leased
         Property, regardless of the extent of such structural damage, prior to
         commencing the Work, Lessee shall comply with the following
         requirements:

                           (a) Lessee shall furnish to Lessor complete plans and
                 specifications for the Work (collectively, the "Plans and
                 Specifications"), for 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 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) Lessee shall furnish to 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;

<PAGE>   88

                           (c) Lessee shall furnish to Lessor a cash deposit 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 Lessor and which Lessor shall be required to apply
                 toward restoration of the Leased Property as provided in
                 Section 13.2;

                           (d) Lessee shall furnish to 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 Lessee; and

                           (e) Lessee shall not commence any of the Work until
                 Lessee shall have complied with the requirements set forth in
                 clauses (a) through (d) immediately above, as applicable, and,
                 thereafter, 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 Lessee is unable to contact the appropriate
                 representatives of Lessor, Lessee may commence such Work as may
                 be necessary in order to address such emergency without
                 Lessor's prior approval, as long as Lessee immediately
                 thereafter advises Lessor of such emergency and the nature and
                 scope of the Work performed and obtains Lessor's approval of
                 the remaining Work to be completed.

                 13.1.3 DISBURSEMENT OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS. If, as provided in
         Section 13.2, 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 Lessee in accordance
         with the terms and conditions of this Lease, 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. Lessor shall not be required to make disbursements more
         often than at thirty (30) day intervals. 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, Lessee
                 shall have received 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 

<PAGE>   89

                  "Work Certificates"), each dated not more than ten (10) days
                  prior to the application for withdrawal of funds, and each
                  stating:

                           (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 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
                                    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) Lessee shall deliver to 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 

<PAGE>   90

                  Certificate, which Liens shall be discharged upon disbursement
                  of the funds then being requested, (ii) any Fee Mortgage and
                  (iii) the Permitted Encumbrances. 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 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, Lessee shall deliver to
                 Lessor, upon the request of 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) Lessee shall deliver to Lessor (i) an opinion of
                 counsel (satisfactory to 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) an architect's
                 certificate (satisfactory to 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.

         Lessor, at its option, may waive any of the foregoing requirements in
         whole or in part in any instance. Upon compliance by Lessee with the
         foregoing requirements (except for such requirements, if any, as Lessor
         may have expressly elected to waive), and to the extent of (x) the
         insurance proceeds, if any, which 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 Lessee, 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 the Work (the
         "Retainage"). It is understood that the Retainage is intended to
         provide a contingency fund to assure Lessor that the Work 


<PAGE>   91

         shall be fully completed in accordance with the Plans and
         Specifications and the requirements of 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,
         Lessee shall promptly deliver to 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 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 Lessee in form and substance
                           reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, listing all costs
                           and expenses in connection with the completion of the
                           Work and the amount paid by 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 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 thirty (30) days
                           after completion of the Work, Lessee shall obtain 
                           and deliver to 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, Lessor shall
         pay the Retainage to Lessee or to those Persons entitled thereto and if
         there shall be insurance proceeds or cash deposits, other than the
         Retainage, held by 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, Lessor shall pay over such proceeds or cash
         deposits to Lessee.

                 No inspections or any approvals of the Work during or after
         construction shall constitute a warranty or representation by Lessor,
         or any of its agents or 

<PAGE>   92

         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 Lessor are performed solely for the benefit of
         Lessor to assure the payment and performance of the Lease Obligations
         and are not for the benefit of 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, 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;

                           (c) Lessee demonstrates to Lessor's satisfaction that
                  Lessee has the financial ability to satisfy the Lease
                  Obligations during such repair or restoration; and

                           (d) no Sublease (excluding Residence Agreements)
                  material to the operation of the Facility immediately prior to
                  such damage or taking shall have been cancelled or terminated,
                  nor contain any still exercisable right to cancel or
                  terminate, due to such Casualty if and to the extent that the
                  income from such Sublease is necessary in order to avoid the
                  violation of any of the financial covenants set forth in this
                  Lease or otherwise to avoid the creation of an Event of
                  Default. 

                  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) 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 three hundred and
         sixty-five (365) 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 Lessee may
         either (i) acquire the Leased Property from 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 

<PAGE>   93

         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, Lessee shall be entitled upon payment of the full purchase
         price to receive all property insurance proceeds (less any costs and
         expenses incurred by 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) Lessor shall be entitled to receive
         and retain the insurance proceeds; provided, however, that Lessee shall
         only have such right of termination effective upon payment to 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 Lessor (net of costs and expenses incurred by 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, Lessor shall assign to 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 Lessor from the
         property insurance required under Article 12 (net of costs and expenses
         incurred by Lessor in collecting the same), 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 Lessee to
         Lessor together with any other property insurance proceeds for
         application to the cost of the Work.

         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 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, Lessor shall pay such insurance proceeds to Lessee to reimburse
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 Lessee is required or elects to restore the Facility, Lessee shall
either (a) restore (i) all alterations and improvements to the Leased Property
made by Lessee and (ii) the Tangible Personal Property or (b) replace such
alterations and improvements and the Tangible 


<PAGE>   94

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 Lessee to extend the Term
of this Lease, granted to Lessee herein and any right of Lessee to purchase the
Leased Property contained in this Lease to be terminated and to be without
further force or effect.

         13.7 WAIVER. 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 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 Lessor and dealt with as follows:

                 (a) if the Work has been promptly and diligently commenced by
         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, Lessor shall each month pay to Lessee out of the Rent
         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 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 Lessor, shall be held by
         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 Lessor (net of
         costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in collecting the same) exceed
         the amounts required under clauses (a) and (b) above, the excess shall
         be paid to 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, Lessor may at its option use or release the Rent
Insurance Proceeds to pay for the Work and, if a Lease Default exists, Lessor
may apply all such 

<PAGE>   95

insurance proceeds towards the Lease Obligations or hold such proceeds as
security therefor.

         13.9 OBLIGATION TO ACCOUNT. Upon Lessee's written request, which may
not be made not more than once in any three (3) month period, Lessor shall
provide Lessee with a written accounting of the application of all insurance
proceeds received by 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 TOTAL TAKING. If there is a permanent Taking of all or
substantially all of the Leased Property, this Lease shall terminate on the Date
of Taking.

         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, from and after the Conversion Date, temporarily Unsuitable For
Its Primary Intended Use for a period not likely to, or which does not, exceed
three hundred and sixty-five (365) days. If, however, the Leased Property is
thereby so rendered permanently or temporarily Unsuitable For Its Primary
Intended Use: (a) 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) Lessee shall have the
right to acquire the Leased Property from Lessor (i) upon payment of all Rent
due through the date that the purchase price is paid, 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 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 such purchase price and the
consummation of such acquisition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor may
overrule Lessee's election under clause (a) or (b) and instead either (1)
terminate this Lease as of the date when Lessee is required to surrender
possession of the portion of the Leased Property so taken or (2) compel 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 eighty percent (80%) of the licensed bed capacity of the Facility
if operated in accordance with its Primary Intended Use. Lessee shall exercise
its election under this Section 14.3 by giving Lessor notice thereof ("Lessee's
Election Notice") within sixty (60) days after Lessee receives notice of the
Taking. Lessor shall exercise its option to overrule 

<PAGE>   96

Lessee's election under this Section 14.3 by giving Lessee notice of Lessor's
exercise of its rights under Section 14.3 within thirty (30) days after Lessor
receives Lessee's Election Notice. If, as the result of any such partial or
temporary Taking, this Lease is not terminated as provided above, 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, Lessee shall accomplish all necessary restoration and Lessor shall
release the net proceeds of such Award to reimburse 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), 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 Lessor and Rent shall be abated as set forth in Section 3.7.

         14.5 AWARD DISTRIBUTION. In the event Lessee completes the purchase of
the Leased Property, as described in Section 14.3, the entire Award shall, upon
payment of the purchase price and all Rent and other sums due under this Lease
and the other Lease Documents, belong to Lessee and Lessor agrees to assign to
Lessee all of Lessor's rights thereto. In any other event, the entire Award
shall belong to and be paid to Lessor.

         14.6 CONTROL OF PROCEEDINGS. Subject to the rights of any Fee
Mortgagee, unless and until 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 Lessor; provided, however, that Lessor
shall keep Lessee apprised of the progress of all such proceedings and shall
solicit Lessee's advice with respect thereto and shall give due consideration to
any such advice. In addition, Lessee shall reimburse 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, if this Lease is terminated as a result of a Taking, Lessee's
obligation to so reimburse Lessor shall be diminished by the amount of the
Award, if any, received by Lessor which is in excess of the Meditrust
Investment.

                               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, Lessee, any Sublessee
or any Manager on their own or on Lessor's behalf (or in Lessor's name), but at
their 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 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
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 Lessor nor any member of the Leasing
Group would 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 TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS ($10,000), Lessee shall deliver to Lessor an
Officer's Certificate and opinion of counsel, if 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) Lessee shall give such cash security (or
letter of credit) as may be demanded in good faith by 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
Lessor or any member of the Leasing Group, 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 (and cause any
Sublessee and any Manager to 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 Lessee to contest the payment of Rent or any other sums payable by Lessee
to Lessor under any of the Lease Documents.

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


<PAGE>   98

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


                                   ARTICLE 16

                                     DEFAULT

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

                 (a) any failure of 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;

                 (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 (x)
         below (a "Failure to Perform"), continuing for thirty (30) days after
         the giving of notice by Lessor to 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)
         Lessee commences the cure thereof within thirty (30) days after the
         giving of such notice by Lessor to Lessee, (ii) Lessee continuously
         prosecutes such cure to completion, (iii) such cure is completed within
         ninety (90) days after the giving of such notice by Lessor to Lessee
         and (iv) such Failure to Perform does not impair the value of, or
         Lessor's rights with respect to, the Leased Property or otherwise
         impair the Collateral or 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, other than the representations
         and warranties contained in Section 10.1.16, is a continuing
         representation or warranty pursuant to Section 10.2;

                 (e) if any representation or warranty contained in Section
         10.1.16 proves to be untrue in any material respect at any time during
         the Term and remains 

<PAGE>   99

         untrue for thirty (30) days after the date such representation or

         (30) day period, (ii) Lessee continuously prosecutes such cure to
         completion, (iii) such cure is completed within ninety (90) days after

         impair the value of, or Lessor's rights with respect to, the Leased
         Property or otherwise impair the Collateral or Lessor's security
         interest therein;

                 (f) 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 the Leased
         Property, (iii) file a petition seeking relief under the bankruptcy or

         such line of credit or to exercise any other right or remedy available
         to it. For the purposes of this provision, a major line of credit shall

         attachments against Lessee's interest or any Sublessee'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,

         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)

         (in its sole and absolute discretion) having agreed to fund such award
         or judgment in a manner satisfactory to Lessor (in its sole and
         absolute discretion) and in either case such award or judgment shall,

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

         made by the applicable Governmental Authority that Lessee or any
         Sublessee shall have failed to comply with applicable Medicare and/or
         Medicaid regulations in the operation of the Facility, as a result of
         which failure Lessee or such Sublessee is declared ineligible to
         continue its participation in the Medicare and/or Medicaid programs;

<PAGE>   102

                 (t) if any member of the Leasing Group receives notice of a
         final unappealable determination by applicable Governmental Authorities

         or the loss of any Permit under any other circumstances under which any
         member of the Leasing Group is required to cease (i) the construction
         of the Project in excess of ten (10) days or (ii) after the Conversion
         Date, the operation of the Facility in accordance with the Primary
         Intended Use; and

                 (u) 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;

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

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

                 (x) any failure to deliver the Cash Collateral to Lessor when
         required under Section 1 of the Deposit Pledge Agreement.

         16.2 REMEDIES.

         (a) If any Lease Default shall have occurred, Lessor may at its option
terminate this Lease by giving 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 Lessor shall have specifically elected by a written
notice to so terminate the Lease) and all rights of Lessee under this Lease
shall cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of Lessee's failure to
pay Rent, if such Rent remains unpaid beyond ten (10) days from the due date
thereof, 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 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 Lessor, and no other act done by or on behalf of Lessor,
shall constitute an acceptance of surrender of the Leased Property by Lessee or
reduce 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 Lessor.

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

<PAGE>   103

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

         (d) In addition to all of the rights and remedies of Lessor set forth
in this Lease and the other Lease Documents, if Lessee shall fail to pay any
rental or other charge due hereunder (whether denominated as Base Rent,
Additional Charges or otherwise) within ten (10) days after same shall have
become due and payable, then and in such event Lessee shall also pay to Lessor
(i) a late payment service charge (in order to partially defray 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 Lessee hereunder or to relieve 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 Lessee or the repossession of the Leased
Property, (c) the failure or inability of Lessor, notwithstanding reasonable
good faith efforts, to relet the Leased Property, (d) the reletting of the
Leased Property or (e) the failure of Lessor to collect or receive any rentals
due upon any such reletting, shall relieve Lessee of its liability and
obligations hereunder, all of which shall survive any such termination,
repossession or reletting. In any such event, Lessee shall forthwith pay to
Lessor all Rent due and payable with respect to the Leased Property to and
including the date of such termination, repossession or eviction. Thereafter,
Lessee shall forthwith pay to Lessor, at Lessor's option, either:

         (i)      the sum of: (x) all Rent that is due and unpaid at the 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 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 Lessor for all damage
                  proximately caused by Lessee's failure to perform

<PAGE>   104

                 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 Lessee's right of possession or other rights under
                  this Lease had not been terminated, or if 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 Lessor may enforce, by action or otherwise, any
                  other term or covenant of this Lease. There shall be credited
                  against Lessee's obligation under this Clause (ii) amounts
                  actually collected by Lessor from another tenant to whom the
                  Leased Property may have actually been leased or, if 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.

         16.4 LESSEE WAIVERS. If this Lease is terminated pursuant to Section
16.2, 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 Lessee
which are received by 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 Lessor may reasonably determine or as may be
required by the laws of the State.

         16.6 [INTENTIONALLY DELETED].

         16.7 LESSOR'S RIGHT TO CURE. If 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, Lessor,
after five (5) Business Days' prior notice to 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 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 Lessor's opinion, may be
necessary or appropriate therefor. No such entry shall be deemed an eviction of
Lessee. All sums so paid by 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 Lessee to Lessor on
demand as an Additional Charge. The obligations of 

<PAGE>   105

Lessee and rights of Lessor contained in this Article shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

         16.8 NO WAIVER BY LESSOR. 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 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 Lessor must thereafter,
as a result of such failure, delay or waiver, give notice to Lessee or the
Guarantor, the Developer or any other Person that 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 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 Lessor and Lessee, the Guarantor, the Developer or any other
Person.

         The acceptance by 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 Lessor's remedies at that time or at any subsequent time, (b)
constitute an accord and satisfaction or (v) nullify any prior exercise of any
remedy, without the express written consent of Lessor. Any failure by 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 Lease Documents, (ii) as a waiver of
any right of 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, 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 Lessor and, except as may be otherwise specifically agreed to by
Lessor in writing, no forbearance on the part of Lessor, no extension of the
time for the payment of the whole or any part of the Obligations, and no other
indulgence given by Lessor to Lessee or any other Person, shall operate to
release or in any manner affect the original liability of Lessee or such other
Persons, or to limit, prejudice or impair any right of Lessor, including,
without limitation, the right to realize upon any collateral, or any part
thereof, 

<PAGE>   106

for any of the Obligations evidenced or secured by the Lease Documents; notice
of any such extension, forbearance or indulgence being hereby waived by Lessee
and all those claiming by, through or under 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 Lessor under
any of the other Lease Documents or at law or in equity, all of which are hereby
reserved by Lessor, and this Lease is made and accepted without prejudice to any
such rights and remedies. All of the rights and remedies of Lessor under each of
the Lease Documents shall be separate and cumulative and may be exercised
concurrently or successively in Lessor's sole and absolute discretion.


                                   ARTICLE 17

               SURRENDER OF LEASED PROPERTY OR LEASE; HOLDING OVER

         17.1 SURRENDER. Lessee shall, upon the expiration or prior termination
of the Term (unless Lessee has concurrently purchased the Leased Property in
accordance with the terms hereof), vacate and surrender the Leased Property to
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 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 Lessor,
and (c) any damage or destruction resulting from a Casualty or Taking that
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 Lessee has
concurrently purchased the Leased Property in accordance with the terms hereof),
upon any request made from time to time by Lessor, 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 Lessor or its designee and/or (ii)
arrange for the transfer or assignment of such Permits and Contracts to 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 Lessor or its designee in obtaining such Permits and
Contracts (whether by transfer, assignment or otherwise). Such efforts and
cooperation on the part of 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 Lessor.
Furthermore, Lessee shall not take any action or refrain from taking any action
which would defer, delay or jeopardize the process of Lessor or its designee
obtaining said Permits and Contracts (whether by transfer, assignment or
otherwise). Without limiting the foregoing, 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.


<PAGE>   107

         Lessee hereby appoints Lessor as its attorney-in-fact, with full power
of substitution to take such actions, in the event that Lessee fails to comply
with any request made by Lessor hereunder, as 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 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 Lessee may suffer and shall survive the same.
Such power of attorney is provided solely to protect the interests of Lessor and
shall not impose any duty on Lessor to exercise any such power and neither
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 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 Lessor and no act by Lessor or any representative or
agent of Lessor, other than such a written acceptance by Lessor, shall
constitute an acceptance of any such surrender.

         17.4 HOLDING OVER. If, for any reason, 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 Lessee shall pay as rental each month, one and one-half times
the aggregate of (i) one-twelfth of the aggregate Base 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
Lessee pursuant to the provisions of this Lease with respect to the Leased
Property. During such period of tenancy, Lessee shall be obligated to perform
and observe all of the terms, covenants and 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
Lessor to the holding over of 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 Lessee purchases the
Leased Property from Lessor pursuant to any of the terms of this Lease, Lessor
shall, upon receipt from 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 Lessee a deed with
covenants only against acts of Lessor conveying the entire interest of Lessor in
and to the Leased Property to 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 Lessee, any Liens created in accordance with
the terms of this Lease or consented to by Lessee, the claims of all Persons
claiming by through or under Lessee, any other matters assented to by Lessee and
all matters for which Lessee has responsibility under any of the Lease
Documents, but otherwise not subject to any other Lien created by Lessor from
and after the Commencement Date (other than an Encumbrance permitted under
Article 20 which Lessee elects to assume). The applicable purchase price shall
be paid in cash to Lessor, or as Lessor may direct, in federal or other
immediately available funds except as otherwise mutually agreed by Lessor and
Lessee. All expenses of such conveyance, including, without limitation, title
examination costs, standard (and extended) coverage title insurance premiums,
attorneys' fees incurred by Lessor in connection with such conveyance, recording
and transfer taxes and recording fees and other similar charges shall be paid by
Lessee.

         18.2 APPRAISAL.

                 18.2.1 DESIGNATION OF APPRAISERS. In the event that it becomes
         necessary to determine the Fair Market Value of the Leased Property for
         any purpose of this Lease, 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, Lessor (or Lessee, as the
         case may be) shall by notice to Lessee (or 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 Lessee's or
         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 


<PAGE>   109

         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 Lessor or 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 Lessor and 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. Lessor and 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.

         18.3 LESSEE'S LIMITED RIGHT OF REFUSAL. At any time during the Term, as
long as, at the time of exercise and on the date of closing, this Lease is then
in full force and effect, and there exists no Lease Default, nor any state of
facts or circumstances which would constitute a Lease Default, or which, with
the passage of time and/or the giving of notice, would constitute a Lease
Default, Lessee shall have a "Right of First Refusal" subject to the following
terms and conditions: (a) if Lessor receives a bona fide written offer to
purchase the Leased Property from a Person which is not a member of the Leasing
Group or an Affiliate of any member of the Leasing Group (the "Offer"),
acceptable to Lessor in Lessor's sole and absolute discretion and Lessor elects,
in Lessor's sole and absolute discretion, to sell the Leased Property in
accordance with the Offer, Lessee shall have thirty (30) days following notice
of the Offer to elect to purchase the Leased Property on the same terms and
conditions as specified in the Offer; (b) unless Lessor receives notice from
Lessee within such thirty (30) day period setting forth Lessee's election to so
purchase the Leased Property and unless thereafter Lessee completes the
acquisition of the Leased Property exactly as provided for, and by the date
specified, in the Offer, Lessor shall be at liberty, and shall have the absolute
and unconditional right, to sell the Leased Property to any Person within the
next twelve (12) months substantially on the 

<PAGE>   110

terms and conditions set forth in the Offer or on any other terms and conditions
more favorable to Lessor; and (c) any such sale consummated in accordance with
the provisions of the foregoing clause (b) shall extinguish all rights granted
to Lessee under this Section 18.3. Lessee's Right of First Refusal shall not
apply to and shall survive: (a) any sale or transfer of the Leased Property to
any Affiliate of Lessor; (b) any sale or transfer of the Leased Property
occasioned by the exercise of any rights or remedies of any Fee Mortgagee; or
(c) a deed or transfer in lieu of foreclosure to any Fee Mortgagee or any
Affiliate thereof. Lessee's Right of First Refusal shall in all events terminate
upon the expiration or any earlier termination of this Lease.

         18.4 LESSEE'S OPTION TO PURCHASE.

                 18.4.1 CONDITIONS TO OPTION. On the conditions (which
         conditions Lessor may waive, at its sole option, by notice to 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) Lessee strictly complies with the provisions of
         this Section 18.4, then 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
         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 Lessee (each of such dates are referred to herein as a
         "Purchase Option Date") and shall be exercised by notice given by
         Lessee to 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, 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 and (iii) all of the conditions in
         the Agreement Regarding Related Lease Transactions pertaining to the
         Purchase Option are satisfied. Once given, Lessee shall have no right
         to rescind Lessee's Purchase Option Notice.

                 18.4.3 CONVEYANCE. If the Purchase Option is exercised by
         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 Lessor (the "Deed") running to Lessee or to such grantee as
         Lessee may designate by notice to Lessor at least seven (7) days before
         the Time of Closing.

<PAGE>   111

                 18.4.4 CALCULATION OF PURCHASE PRICE. Subject to the terms of
         the Agreement Regarding Related Lease Transactions, the price to be
         paid by Lessee for the acquisition of the Leased Property pursuant to
         this Purchase Option (the "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 PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE. Subject to the terms of the
         Agreement Regarding Related Lease Transactions, the Purchase Price
         shall be paid by Lessee at the Time of Closing by certified, cashier's,
         treasurer's or bank check(s) or wire transfer pursuant to instructions
         received from Lessor.

                 18.4.6 PLACE AND TIME OF CLOSING. Subject to the terms of the
         Agreement Regarding Related Lease Transactions, if the Purchase Option
         is exercised, the closing shall occur and the Deed shall be delivered
         (the "Closing") at the office of Lessor at 12:00 o'clock noon (local
         time in Boston, Massachusetts) on the applicable Purchase Option Date
         (such time, as the same may be extended by mutual written agreement of
         Lessor and Lessee, being hereinafter referred to as the "Time of
         Closing"). It is agreed that time is of the essence of the Purchase
         Option.

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

                 18.4.8 QUALITY OF TITLE. If Lessor shall be unable to give
         title or to make conveyance, as stipulated in this Section 18.4, then,
         at Lessor's option, 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. 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."

                 18.4.9 LESSOR'S INABILITY TO PERFORM. If at the expiration of
         the extended time 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 shall be void and
         without recourse to the parties hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
         Lessee shall have the election, at either the original or extended
         Purchase Option Date and Time of Closing, to accept such title as
         Lessor can deliver to the Leased Property in its then condition and to
         pay therefor the Purchase Price without reduction, in which case 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, Lessor shall pay over or assign to Lessee at the Time of
         Closing, all Awards recovered on account of such Taking, less any
         amounts reasonably expended by 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, Lessor shall assign to Lessee
         all its rights with respect to any claim therefor.


<PAGE>   112

                 18.4.10 MERGER BY DEED. The acceptance of the Deed by Lessee or
         the grantee designated by 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 Lessor contained or expressed in this
         Lease.

                 18.4.11 USE OF PURCHASE PRICE TO CLEAR TITLE. To enable Lessor
         to make conveyance as provided in this Section, Lessor may, at the Time
         of Closing, use the 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.

                 18.4.12 LESSEE'S DEFAULT. If Lessee delivers 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
         Lessor's willful and unexcused refusal to deliver the Deed, (a) 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) Lessor shall have the right to sue for
         specific performance of 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 on which
         such sale was supposed to occur.


                                   ARTICLE 19

                            SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT

         19.1 SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT. Except as specifically set forth in
Section 19.2 and Section 19.4 below, Lessee may not, without the prior written
consent of Lessor, which consent may be withheld in 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 Lessee or sales, pledges, hypothecations or
other transfers (including, without limitation, any transfer by operation of
law) of the capital or the assets of Lessee. Any such assignment, pledge, sale,
hypothecation or other transfer made without Lessor's consent shall be void and
of no force and effect.

         19.2 PERMITTED SUBLEASES. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall
have the right to enter into Residence Agreements without the prior consent of
Lessor.

         19.3 ATTORNMENT. Lessee shall insert in each Sublease approved by
Lessor provisions to the effect that (a) such Sublease is subject and
subordinate to all of the terms and provisions of this Lease and to the rights
of Lessor hereunder, (b) in the event this Lease shall terminate before the
expiration of such Sublease, the Sublessee thereunder 

<PAGE>   113

will, at Lessor's option, attorn to Lessor and waive any right the Sublessee may
have to terminate the Sublease or to surrender possession thereunder, as a
result of the termination of this Lease and (c) in the event the Sublessee
receives a written notice from Lessor stating that Lessee is in default under
this Lease, the Sublessee shall thereafter be obligated to pay all rentals
accruing under said Sublease directly to Lessor or as Lessor may direct. All
rentals received from the Sublessee by Lessor shall be credited against the
amounts owing by Lessee under this Lease.

         19.4 PERMITTED ASSIGNMENTS. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section
19.1, the current holders of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of
the Lessee may transfer such capital stock of Lessee to the Guarantor (or, at
the option of the Guarantor, to a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Guarantor),
subject to the Liens created by the Stock Pledge Agreement, pursuant to the
terms and conditions of the BCC Option Agreement (the "Stock Transfer");
provided that: (a) at the time of the consummation of the Stock Transfer, no
Lease Default shall have occurred (excluding any Lease Default which has been
waived, in writing, by Lessor), nor any event which, with the giving of notice
and/or the passage of time, could result in a Lease Default and (b) prior to or
simultaneously with the consummation of the Stock Transfer, the Guarantor shall
have delivered to Lessor (i) a guaranty of the Lease Obligations executed by the
Guarantor (the "BCC Guaranty"), in form and substance acceptable to Lessor (and,
without limiting the foregoing, the BCC Guaranty shall include the financial
covenants set forth in Section 10.9 of the Working Capital Assurance Agreement),
(ii) a fully-executed Stock Pledge Agreement, in a form substantially similar to
the Pledge Agreement, executed by the Guarantor (or, if applicable, the
wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Guarantor to which the issued and outstanding
stock of the Lessee is to be transferred) granting to Lessor a first priority
security interest in all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock
of Lessee (the "BCC Stock Pledge"), (iii) the stock certificate(s) evidencing
such pledged shares, along with stock power(s) (in a form acceptable to Lessor)
duly endorsed in blank and (iv) a legal opinion, in form and substance
satisfactory to Lessor (1) evidencing the authority of the Guarantor to execute
and deliver the BCC Stock Pledge, the BCC Guaranty and such stock powers and the
enforceability of such documents and (2) stating whether any notices to and/or
approvals from any Governmental Authority (or other Person) are required for
such transfer and, if so, that such notices and approvals have been sent and/or
obtained, as the case may be. From and after the consummation of the Stock
Transfer, in accordance with the terms hereof and the terms of the Working
Capital Loan Agreement, and the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this
Section 19.4, the Related Party Obligations shall include all "Related Party
Obligations" as defined under the State College Lease; provided, however, that,
except as otherwise provided within the definition of the term "Related Parties"
in Article 2 hereof, the consummation of the Stock Transfer shall have no effect
whatsoever on the Related Leases, the Tenant Parties or any terms, conditions or
other provisions set forth herein or in any of the other Lease Documents
relating thereto.

         In connection with the consummation the Stock Transfer, the Lessee
shall have the option, exercisable by written notice to the Lessor ten (10)
Business Days prior to the Stock Transfer, to request that the Lessor advance,
under the Leasehold Improvement Agreement, a lump sum payment (the "Working
Capital Payoff") equal to the total 




<PAGE>   114

outstanding principal amount and all accrued interest and other sums payable
under the Note. The Working Capital Payoff shall be used to pay the entire
principal balance then remaining unpaid, together with accrued and unpaid
interest thereon and any costs, charges and other amounts due under the Note
(without any penalty or premium) and, upon any such advance of the Working
Capital Payoff by Lessor, Base Rent shall be adjusted accordingly and the Cash
Collateral held under the Deposit Pledge Agreement shall also be adjusted to
reflect the adjusted Base Rent hereunder (i.e., so that the Cash Collateral then
held under the Deposit Pledge Agreement equals 3 monthly payments of Base Rent
as adjusted). The Working Capital Payoff shall be due and payable simultaneously
with the consummation of the Stock Transfer. In the event the Lessee does not
elect to request Lessor to advance the Working Capital Payoff under the
Leasehold Improvement Agreement, the Working Capital Payoff shall nevertheless
be due and payable simultaneously with the consummation of the Stock Transfer
(from other funds of Pledgor) so that the outstanding obligations under the Note
may be paid in full (without penalty or premium), it being understood and agreed
that all obligations under the Note are due and payable as of the date of the
consummation of the Stock Transfer. If Lessor does not advance the Working
Capital Payoff to satisfy the outstanding obligations under the Note, there
shall be no adjustment to Base Rent in connection with the satisfaction of the
outstanding obligations under the Note.

         19.5 OTHER PERMITTED TRANSFERS. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth herein, from and after the date of the consummation of the
Guarantor's initial public offering of shares of common stock, (i) subject to
the provisions of the paragraph immediately following this paragraph, any
transfer (whether by operation of law or otherwise) of any shares of the common
stock of the Guarantor shall not constitute a Lease Default and (ii) any merger
of the Guarantor with any other Person shall not constitute a Lease Default,
provided, that, the Guarantor is the surviving entity and remains in compliance
with all of the conditions, covenants and agreements set forth in the Lease
Documents pertaining to the Guarantor (including, without limitation, any
financial covenants).

         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, from and
after the date of the consummation of the Guarantor's initial public offering of
common stock, the beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), at any time,
by any Person and its Affiliates, either individually or as a group, of an
aggregate of fifty percent (50%) or more of the common stock of the Guarantor
shall constitute a Lease Default.

                                   ARTICLE 20

                   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.

         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 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 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.

         20.3 LESSOR MAY GRANT LIENS. Without the consent of Lessee, but subject
to the terms and conditions set forth below in this Section 20.3, 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 Lessee shall have no obligation
to make payments under such Encumbrances. 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 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".


<PAGE>   116

         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, Lessor shall obtain and deliver to 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)
Lessee's rights under this Lease shall not be disturbed nor shall this Lease be
terminated or cancelled at any time, except in the event that Lessor shall have
the right to terminate this Lease under the terms and provisions expressly set
forth herein, (ii) 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
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 Lessee of the
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 or greater than the purchase
price or (2) in the event that the purchase price is greater than the
Indebtedness secured by the Fee Mortgage, a portion of the 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 Lessor.

         At the request from time to time by any Fee Mortgagee, Lessee shall (a)
subordinate this Lease and all of Lessee's rights and estate hereunder to the
Fee Mortgage held by such Fee Mortgagee and (b) agree that 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 Lessor under
this Lease for the balance of the Term then remaining. To effect the intent and
purpose of the immediately preceding sentence, Lessee agrees to execute and
deliver such instruments in recordable form as are reasonably requested by
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 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, Lessee shall peaceably and quietly
have, hold and enjoy the Leased Property throughout the Term, free of any claim
or other action by Lessor or anyone claiming by, through or under Lessor, but
subject to the Permitted Encumbrances and such Liens as may hereafter be
consented to by Lessee. No failure by Lessor to comply with the foregoing
covenant shall give 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 Lessee hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee
shall have the right by separate and independent action to pursue any claim it
may have against Lessor as a result of a breach by Lessor of the covenant of
quiet enjoyment contained in this Article 21.

         21.2 MEMORANDUM OF LEASE. Lessor and 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 and the Right of First Refusal contained herein shall be
made. Lessee shall pay all recording costs and taxes associated therewith.

         21.3 DEFAULT BY LESSOR. Lessor shall be in default of its obligations
under this Lease only if 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 Lessee
(or, from and after the Conversion Date, 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 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 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 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 LIABILITY

         In no event shall Lessor ever be liable to Lessee or any other Person
for any indirect or consequential damages incurred by Lessee or such other

of Lessor for the payment of any sum or performance of any obligation due by or
from Lessor pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Lease Documents.

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

         24.1 BROKER'S FEE INDEMNIFICATION. Lessee shall and hereby agrees to
indemnify, defend (with counsel acceptable to Lessor) and hold 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,
except such claims by any Person with whom Lessor has dealt without Lessee's
knowledge in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Lease
Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor shall have the option of
conducting its own defense against any such claims with counsel of Lessor's
choice, but at the expense of Lessee, as aforesaid. This indemnification shall
include all attorneys' fees and expenses and court costs reasonably incurred by
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 Lessor and Lessee.
Lessee is not the agent or representative of Lessor and nothing contained herein
or in any of the other Lease Documents shall make, or be construed to make,
Lessor liable to any Person for goods delivered to Lessee, services performed
with respect to the Leased Property at the direction of Lessee or for debts or
claims accruing against 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 Management Agreements, the
Related Party Agreements, the Working Capital Loan Documents, the Permits and/or
the Contracts. References herein and in the other Lease Documents to any of the
Lease Documents, the Management Agreements, the Related Party Agreements, the
Working Capital Loan Documents, the Permits and/or the Contracts shall be deemed
to include any renewals, replacements, amendments, extensions, substitutions,
revisions, consolidations or modifications thereof.

<PAGE>   121

         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 or any Management Agreement, Related Party Agreement,
Working Capital Loan Documents, Permit and/or the Contract is not intended to
constitute an agreement or consent by Lessor to any such renewal, replacement,
amendment, substitution, revision, consolidation or modification; but, rather as
a reference only to those instances where 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 and the other Lease Documents may be
executed in one or more counterparts, each of which taken together shall
constitute an original and all of which shall constitute one in 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 respects those provisions of the letter of intent dated
September 12, 1997 (and all prior iterations thereof), from Meditrust to the
Guarantor, accepted by the Guarantor on September 15, 1997 relating to the
Project.

         24.8 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, LESSOR AND 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. Lessee hereby certifies
that neither Lessor nor any of Lessor's representatives, agents or counsel has
represented expressly or otherwise that 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 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 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


<PAGE>   122

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 Lessee and Lessee's legal
representatives and permitted successors and assigns and (b) Lessor and any
other Person who may now or hereafter hold the interest of Lessor under this
Lease and their respective successors and assigns. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, 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
Lessor, in each instance, which consent may be withheld in 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 Lessor, its successors, assigns and
participants (if any), the Meditrust Entities, the Indemnified Parties, 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 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 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 Lessor at any time,
if, in Lessor's sole and absolute discretion, Lessor deems it advisable or
desirable to do so.

         24.11 GOVERNING LAW. This Lease shall be construed, and the rights and
obligations of Lessor and Lessee shall be determined, in accordance with the
laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, except (a) that the laws of the State
shall govern this Lease to the extent necessary to obtain the benefit of and/or
enforce the rights and remedies set forth herein with respect to the Leased
Property and (b) for procedural requirements relating to the Leased Property
which must be governed by the laws of the State.

         To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Lessee hereby
submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
and the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, 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,
Lessor's relationship with 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 

<PAGE>   123

Documents and expressly waives any and all objections 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, Lessee or 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 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.

         Lessee waives all presentments, demands for performance, notices of
nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, and notices
of acceptance and waives all notices of the existence, creation, or incurring of
new or additional obligations, except as to all of the foregoing as expressly
provided for herein.

                            SUBSTITUTION OF PROPERTY

         25.1 SUBSTITUTION OF PROPERTY FOR THE LEASED PROPERTY. Provided that no
default has occurred under this Lease (excluding any default which has been
cured in accordance with the terms hereof or which has been waived, in writing,
by the Lessor), nor any event which, with the giving of notice or the passage of
time or both, would constitute such a default, Lessee shall have the right from
time to time (referred to herein as the "Substitution Right"), exercisable upon
not less than ninety (90) days' prior written notice to Lessor (referred to
herein as a "Substitution Notice") to substitute, on a date specified in such
Substitution Notice (such date, as the same may be extended by express written
agreement of Lessor, shall be referred to herein as a "Substitution Date"), the
Leased Property with a Comparable Facility. As used herein, the term "Comparable
Facility" shall be defined as an adult care residence, assisted living facility
or other similar senior housing facility which Lessor determines (a) has an
appraised Fair Market Value greater than or equal to the greater of (i) the
appraised Fair Market Value of the Leased Property at the Commencement Date or
(ii) the appraised Fair Market Value of the Leased Property at the time that the
applicable Substitution Notice is furnished to Lessor (based on appraisal
criteria then in effect), (b) has a Rent Coverage Ratio greater than or equal to
the greater of (i) the Rent Coverage Ratio of the Leased Property as of the
Commencement Date or (ii) the Rent Coverage Ratio of the Leased Property at the
time that the applicable Substitution Notice is furnished to Lessor, (c)
provides a mix of services similar to the Leased Property and (d) is otherwise
reasonably acceptable, in all respects, to Lessor (based on Lessor's usual and
customary property evaluation criteria then in effect). Lessee may not exercise
its Substitution Right more than once in any calendar year.

         25.2 CONDITIONS TO SUBSTITUTION. Without limiting the foregoing, as
conditions precedent to the consummation of any proposed substitution:

                 (a) as of the applicable Substitution Date, no Lease Default
         shall have occurred (excluding any Lease Default which has been waived,
         in writing, by Lessor), nor any event which with the giving of notice
         and/or the passage of time would constitute such a default;

                 (b) Lessor shall have received engineering and inspection
         reports relating to the medical office building identified by Lessee in
         the applicable Substitution Notice (referred to herein as a "Proposed
         Facility"), reasonably satisfactory in all respects to Lessor;

                 (c) Lessee shall have delivered to Lessor (i) an MAI appraisal
         of the Proposed Facility (prepared by an appraiser selected by Lessee
         and approved by Lessor), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
         to Lessor and (ii) an 

<PAGE>   125

         instrument survey of the premises upon which the Proposed Facility is
         located acceptable to Lessor and the Title Company;

                 (d) Lessor shall be satisfied as to compliance of Lessee, the
         Proposed Facility, the owner of the Proposed Facility (to the extent
         such owner is not Lessee as provided in subsection (l) below) and/or
         the proposed substitution, as the case may be, with (i) all applicable
         land use, zoning, subdivision and environmental laws and regulations,
         (ii) all applicable health-care and/or adult care, assisted living or
         other similar senior housing licensure laws and regulations and (III)
         such other matters as Lessor reasonably deems relevant (including,
         without limitation, whether the conveyance of the property to Lessor in
         connection with the proposed substitution may be avoided under the
         Bankruptcy Code);

                 (e) Lessee shall have delivered to Lessor a valid and binding
         owner's or lessee's (as applicable) title insurance commitment issued
         by a title insurer reasonably acceptable to Lessor (the "Title
         Company"), in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the Proposed
         Facility, with such endorsements and affirmative coverages, and in such
         form, as Lessor may reasonably require insuring Lessor's fee title or
         leasehold title to the Proposed Facility, subject to no Liens except
         those approved or assumed by Lessor and arrangements satisfactory to
         Lessor shall have been made for the issuance of a title insurance
         policy on the Substitution Date in accordance with such title insurance
         commitment;

                 (f) Lessee shall have delivered an environmental site
         assessment report relating to the Proposed Facility, in form and
         substance reasonably acceptable to Lessor and prepared by an
         environmental consultant reasonably acceptable to Lessor;

                 (g) Lessor shall have obtained, at Lessee's cost, an opinion of
         Lessor's counsel, in form and substance acceptable to Lessor,
         confirming that (i) the substitution of the Proposed Facility for the
         Leased Property will qualify as an exchange solely of property of a
         like-kind under Section 1031 of the Code, in which, generally, except
         for "boot" such as cash needed to equalize exchange values or discharge
         indebtedness, no gain or loss is recognized to Lessor, (ii) the
         substitution or sale will not result in ordinary recapture income to
         Lessor pursuant to Code Section 1250(d)(4) or any other Code provision,
         (iii) the substitution or sale will result in income, if any, to Lessor
         of a type described in Code Section 856(c)(2) or (3) and will not
         result in income of the types described in Code Section 856(c)(4) or
         result in the tax imposed under Code Section 857(b)(6) and (iv) the
         substitution or sale, together with all other substitutions and sales
         made or requested by Lessee or any Affiliate of Lessee or of any
         Guarantor pursuant to any other leases with Lessor (or any of its
         Affiliates) or any other transfers of the Leased Property or the
         properties leased under other such leases, during the relevant time
         period, will not jeopardize the qualification of Lessor as a real
         estate investment trust under Code Sections 856-860;

<PAGE>   126

                 (h) Lessor shall have received opinions of Lessee's counsel as
         to (i) the compliance of the Proposed Facility with land use, zoning,
         subdivision and environmental laws and regulations, (ii) the compliance
         of Lessee, the owner of the Proposed Facility (to the extent such owner
         is not Lessee as provided in subsection (l) below), the proposed
         substitution and the Proposed Facility with applicable health care,
         adult care, assisted living and/or other similar senior housing laws
         and regulations, (iii) the due authorization, execution and
         enforceability of the Substitution Documents and (iv) such other
         matters as are reasonably requested; in form and substance reasonably
         acceptable to Lessor;

                 (i) Lessee and the Guarantor shall have executed and delivered,
         or caused to be executed and delivered, such documents as are
         reasonably required by Lessor to effectuate the substitution
         (collectively, the "Substitution Documents"), including, without
         limitation, (i) a deed with full warranties or assignment of a
         leasehold estate with full warranties (as applicable) conveying to
         Lessor title to the Proposed Facility free and clear of all Liens,
         except those approved or assumed by Lessor, (ii) a facility lease (the
         "Substitution Lease") duly executed, acknowledged and delivered by
         Lessee, containing the same terms and conditions as are contained
         herein except that (1) the legal description of the land shall refer to
         the Proposed Facility, (2) the Meditrust Investment in the Proposed
         Facility shall be an amount equal to the Meditrust Investment in the
         Leased Property increased by any Cash Adjustment paid by Lessor, (3)
         the Rent under the Substitution Lease in all respects shall provide
         Lessor with a substantially equivalent yield at the time of the
         substitution (i.e., annual return on its equity in such Proposed
         Facility) to that received (and reasonably expected to be received
         thereafter) from the Leased Property, taking into account the Cash
         Adjustment, if any, paid by Lessor and any other relevant factors and
         (4) such other changes therein as may be necessary or appropriate under
         the circumstances shall be made; (iii) a collateral assignment of
         permits, licenses, approvals and contracts relating to the Proposed
         Facility, substantially in the form of the Lessee Permits Assignment;
         (iv) UCC financing statements and (v) an affiliated party subordination
         agreement, substantially in the form of Affiliated Party Subordination
         Agreement, shall be executed by the parties to the Affiliated Party
         Subordination Agreement and such other Persons as are deemed necessary
         or appropriate by the Lessor. The Substitution Documents shall be based
         upon and contain the same terms and conditions as are set forth in
         Lessee Documents in effect prior to the substitution, except that such
         changes shall be made as may be necessary or reasonably appropriate
         under the circumstances to effectuate the substitution and secure the
         protection and priority of the property and security interests conveyed
         and/or granted to Lessor;

                 (j) without limiting any other provision contained herein,
         Lessee shall have delivered to Lessor such other information and
         materials relating to Lessee, the owner of the Proposed Facility (to
         the extent that such owner is not Lessee as provided in subsection (l)
         below) and the Proposed Facility as Lessor may reasonably request,
         including, without limitation, leases, receipted bills, management
         agreements and other Contracts, Provider Agreements, cost reports,

<PAGE>   127

         Permits, evidence of legal and actual access to the Proposed Facility,
         evidence of the availability and sufficiency of utilities servicing the
         Proposed Facility, historical and current operating statements,
         detailed budgets and financial statements and Lessor shall have found
         the same to be satisfactory in all respects;

                 (k) without limiting Lessee's obligations to pay the
         Substitution Closing Costs in accordance with the provisions of Section
         25.4, Lessee shall also pay to Lessor a fee equal to one percent (1%)
         of the Meditrust Investment;

                 (l) the Proposed Facility shall be owned or leased by Lessee or
         an Affiliate of Lessee that is acceptable to Lessor; provided, however,
         that in the event that the Proposed Facility is owned by any such
         Affiliate, (i) said Affiliate shall execute and deliver to Lessor such
         Substitution Documents as may be reasonably required by Lessor and (ii)
         Lessor shall be provided with such evidence as it may require to
         determine that the conveyance of the Proposed Facility (or a leasehold
         interest therein) to Lessor does not constitute a fraudulent conveyance
         (under applicable federal or state law);

                 (m) Lessee shall have delivered to Lessor an insurance
         certificate evidencing compliance with all of the insurance
         requirements set forth in the Substitution Documents;

                 (n) Lessee shall have delivered to Lessor an Officer's
         Certificate certifying as of the Substitution Date that (i) the
         Proposed Facility has been accepted by Lessee for all purposes of the
         Substitution Lease and there has been no material damage to the
         improvements located on the Proposed Facility, nor is any condemnation
         or eminent domain proceeding pending with respect thereto; (ii) all
         Permits (including, but not limited to, a permanent, unconditional
         certificate of occupancy) which are necessary to permit the use of the
         Proposed Facility in accordance with the provisions of the Substitution
         Lease have been obtained and are in full force and effect; (iii) under
         applicable zoning and use laws, ordinances, rules and regulations, the
         Proposed Facility may be used for the purposes contemplated by
         Substitution Documents and all necessary subdivision approvals have
         been obtained; (iv) to the best knowledge of Lessee, there exists no
         Lease Default under this Lease, and no defense, offset or claim exists
         with respect to any sums to be paid by Lessee hereunder, and (v) any
         exceptions to Lessor's title to the Proposed Facility do not materially
         interfere with the intended use of the Proposed Facility by Lessee;

                 (o) Lessor shall have determined that the Proposed Facility
         constitutes a Comparable Facility; and

                 (P) Lessor shall have received all Rent due and payable
         hereunder through the Substitution Date.

<PAGE>   128



         In the event that the equity value of the Proposed Facility (i.e., the
Fair Market Value of the Proposed Facility minus the Liens to which Lessor will
take the Proposed Facility subject) as of the Substitution Date is greater than
the equity value of the Leased Property (i.e., the Fair Market Value of the
Leased Property minus the Liens to which Lessee will take the Leased Property
subject other than those Liens which Lessee is obligated to pay or discharge
pursuant to the terms of this Lease) as of the Substitution Date, subject to the
limitation set forth below, Lessor shall pay an amount equal to the difference
to Lessee; provided, however, that Lessor shall not be obligated to consummate
such substitution if Lessor would be required to make a payment to Lessee of an
amount equal to or in excess of fifteen percent (15%) of said Fair Market Value
of the Leased Property (the amount of cash paid by Lessor to Lessee being
referred to herein as the "Cash Adjustment"). Without limiting the generality or
effect of the preceding sentence, in the event that, on the Substitution Date,
Lessor is obligated to pay a Cash Adjustment to Lessee and Lessor does not have
sufficient funds available, or elects not to make such payment in cash, Lessor
shall provide Lessee with (and Lessee shall accept) a purchase money note and
mortgage for a term not to exceed eighteen (18) months from the Substitution
Date and bearing interest, payable monthly, at a rate of interest equal to one
hundred ten percent (100%) of the applicable federal rate (determined at the
time of execution of such note pursuant to Section 1274 of the Code or any
successor section thereto), compounded semi-annually, or, if no such rate exists
or such rate is in excess of that permitted under applicable law, at the Prime
Rate, which interest shall be payable monthly in arrears.

         25.3 CONVEYANCE TO LESSEE. If the Lessor shall have determined that the
Proposed Facility constitutes a Comparable Facility, on the Substitution Date,
after the consummation of a substitution in accordance with the terms hereof,
Lessor will convey the Leased Property to Lessee in accordance with the
provisions of Article 18 (except as to payment of any expenses in connection
therewith which shall be governed by Section 25.4 below) and this Lease shall
thereupon terminate as to the Leased Property. Upon completion of the purchase
of the Leased Property, no Rent shall thereafter accrue with respect thereto.

         25.4 EXPENSES. Whether or not any proposed substitution is consummated,
Lessee shall pay all of the out-of-pocket expenses and other costs incurred or
expended by Lessor in connection with any proposed substitution (collectively
referred to herein as "Substitution Closing Costs"), including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, engineering costs,
consultants' fees, appraisal costs, audit and tax review costs, out-of-pocket
travel expenses, inspection fees, title insurance premiums and other title fees,
survey expenses, mortgage taxes, transfer, documentary stamp and other taxes,
search charges of any nature, recording, registration and filing costs, broker's
fees and commissions, if any, escrow fees, fees and expenses, if any, incurred
in qualifying Lessor and maintaining its right to do business in the state where
the Proposed Facility is located, the cost of obtaining, preparing and recording
a release of the Leased Property from the lien of any Fee Mortgage (other than
the amount necessary to payoff such Fee Mortgage) and any other costs expended
or incurred by Lessor in connection with the preparation for and the
documentation and/or the closing of the proposed substitution. The 



<PAGE>   129

Substitution Closing Costs shall be a demand obligation of Lessee to Lessor and,
if not paid within ten (10) days after demand, shall thereafter (to the extent
permitted by applicable law) bear interest at the Overdue Rate until the date of
payment.
