will be to enter into a lease agreement (the "FACILITY LEASE") with each
Facility Owner, pursuant to which the Joint Venture (or certain subsidiaries of

of the Facilities. In addition, each Facility Owner and the Joint Venture (or

                                       3
<PAGE>

Venture desires to accept such capital contribution from Investor in exchange
for issuance by the Joint Venture to Investor of the Interests, according to the
terms and conditions set forth below and in the Amended and Restated Operating
Agreement of the Joint Venture (the "VENTURE AGREEMENT"). The Investor has
specified certain conditions in this Agreement which must be satisfied in order
for it to make its investment in the Joint Venture.

        V.      At Closing, Investor and SALII will enter into the Venture
Agreement to govern the operation of the Joint Venture setting forth, inter
alia, the 80% ownership by Investor and the 20% ownership by SALII, and the
acknowledgment and consent of SALII to the dilution of its ownership interest in
the Joint Venture due to issuance by the Joint Venture of the Interests. The
Venture Agreement will provide for, inter alia, the rights and obligations of
Investors and SALII to cash flow distributions, allocations of profits and
losses, the determinations of capital accounts, and the funding of operating
deficits. The form of the Venture Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit R.

        W.      With the exception of the Rochester Facility, the Underlying
Interest Owners have proposed to contribute for the benefit of SALII, 81% of the
membership or partnership interests in the Facility Owners to the Joint Venture.
The Joint Venture intends thereafter to transfer such membership and partnership
interests to Funding. Investor has consented to the Joint Venture directing that
the Underlying Interest Owners transfer the 81% interest in each of the Facility
Owners directly to Funding or to Subfunding. Investor has further required that
Subfunding be the general partner of each Facility Owner which is a limited
partnership and that Funding be the managing member of each Facility Owner which
is a limited liability company. The continuing interest in the Facility Owners
retained by one or more of Underlying Interest Owners shall have no voting or
consent rights; and Underlying Interest Owners shall have no right to
participate in the operation and control of the business of the Facility Owners
in any manner.

        X.      The Lease Documentation will be executed by each Facility Owner
(except Sunrise Rochester) at such time as Funding or Subfunding, as the case
may be, becomes the general partner or managing member, as the case may be, of
each Facility Owner (except Sunrise Rochester). The Facility Owners (except
Sunrise Rochester), after such time as they are majority owned and controlled by
Funding, are hereafter referred to as special purpose vehicles (each, an "SPV").

        Y.      Sunrise Rochester will transfer the Rochester Facility by deed
to Sunrise Rochester Assisted Living, LLC, a Michigan limited liability company
("NEW SUNRISE ROCHESTER"), whose membership interests will be owned 81% by
Funding and 19% by SALII. Funding will be the managing member of New Sunrise
Rochester. The interest in New Sunrise Rochester retained by SALII shall have no
voting or consent rights; and SALII shall have no right to participate in the
operation and control of the business of the New Sunrise Rochester in any
manner. New Sunrise Rochester will execute the Lease Documentation and is
hereafter sometimes referred to as a SPV.

        Z.      The funds necessary to construct each of the Facilities (the
"PROJECT FINANCING") were advanced by Underlying Interest Owners to each of the
Facilities Owners to the extent that the first trust construction financing
obtained by the Facility Owners was insufficient to pay the total cost of
developing the respective assisted living facilities. The Project Financing
advanced by Underlying Interest Owners was either advanced directly by

                                       4
<PAGE>

SALI to the Facility Owners, or was advanced by SALI to SDI or SALII and then
forwarded to the Facility Owners (such advances being hereinafter called
"SUNRISE LOANS"). SALI obtained the Project Financing from that certain
$265,000,000 Revolving Credit Facility by Bank of America, N.A. dated June 13,
2001 (the "B OF A CREDIT FACILITY"), which B of A Credit Facility amended and
restated certain earlier revolving credit agreements by Bank of America, N.A. to
SALI and its affiliates. The B of A Credit Facility was made to certain
wholly-owned subsidiaries of SALI and is guaranteed by SALI.

        AA.     The Facility Owners desire to apply any funds which may be
received by them under the Lease Documentation to repay the B of A Credit
Facility.

        BB.     Pursuant to the Lease Documentation between the SPV's and the
Joint Venture (or certain of its subsidiaries), the Joint Venture will make an
initial payment to the Facility Owners/SPVs in an amount set forth below in the
Agreement, which will be used to repay amounts owed pursuant to the B of A
Credit Facility.

        CC.     The Facilities will be managed by Sunrise Assisted Living
Management, Inc., a Virginia corporation ("MANAGER"), pursuant to separate
Management Agreements between the Joint Venture, as "Owner" and Manager, with
respect to each Facility.

        Accordingly, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:

pay, discharge and perform when due, from and after Closing, the liabilities and
obligations listed below (collectively, the "OWNER OBLIGATIONS"), but Underlying
Interest Owners shall be obligated to fulfill and discharge all duties and
obligations, and shall be responsible for all liabilities with respect to all
items listed below, to the extent attributable to or arising out of matters that
occur prior to Closing:

        (a)     The Senior Financing;

        (b)     All liabilities and obligations arising under the Facility
Agreements; and

                                       14
<PAGE>

        (c)     Such other liabilities of the Facility Owners (including but not
limited to Resident Deposits) to the extent, and only to the extent, the amount
thereof is included as a credit to the Joint Venture in calculating the
adjustment amount as ultimately determined pursuant to Section 2.5.

        This Section 2.3 shall survive the Closing.

        2.4     CONTRIBUTION AMOUNT.

        (a)     The amount of Investor's contribution to the Joint Venture at
Closing for the Interests shall be an amount equal to (i) eighty percent (80%)
of the excess of (a) the Agreed Value of each First Closing Facility which the
Joint Venture acquires an interest in, thereafter sells and leases back pursuant
to the Lease Documentation, over (b) the outstanding principal balance due on
the Senior Financing as of the First Closing Date and (ii) eighty percent (80%)
of a $50,000 working capital reserve for each Facility pursuant to the terms of
the Venture Agreement. The amount contributed by Investor shall be subject to
adjustment as provided in Section 2.5 below and shall be increased by Investor's
share of the closing costs to be borne by the Joint Venture as hereinafter set
forth. The total amount to be contributed by the Investor to the Joint Venture
on the First Closing Date (hereinafter, the "CONTRIBUTION") shall be paid by
wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Title Insurer (as defined in
Section 7.3). Less than all the Facilities may be acquired on the First Closing
Date, as set forth in Section 3.3 below.

        (b)     On January 7, 2002, Investor delivered to the Title Insurer,
acting as an independent escrow agent, by wire transfer, same day funds in the
amount of $1,000,000 (the "DEPOSIT"). Such amount is being held by Title Insurer
pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement dated January 7, 2002 among
Investor, Sunrise and Title Insurer, a form of which is attached hereto as
Exhibit Q, and shall applied to the Contribution due from Investor on the First
Closing Date.

        2.5     ADJUSTMENT OF CONTRIBUTION AMOUNT.

        (a)     All income and expenses (including prepaid expenses) of the
First Closing Facilities shall be prorated on a daily basis between the Facility
Owners and the Joint Venture as of 11:59 p.m., on the date (the "PRORATION
DATE") immediately preceding the First Closing Date. Such items to be prorated
shall include:

                (i)     Rents under the leases and Resident Agreements and other
income, if any, including prepaid rents, community fees and security deposits.
Community fees will be prorated between Sunrise and the Joint Venture based upon
the period over which such community fees are refundable to the individual
resident who has paid such community fee. For example, a resident may have paid
a $4,000 community fee which is refundable on a prorated basis over the first
four (4) months of such resident's occupancy. If the Closing takes place one (1)
month after such resident occupies a unit in a Facility, then one quarter of
such community fee (or $1,000) would have been earned by the Facility Owner
prior to the First Closing Date. In such event, the Joint Venture shall receive
credit at Closing for $3,000 of such community fee. Investor acknowledges that
the amount of community fees, and the time period over which community fees are
earned, may vary from Facility to Facility and from resident to resident.
Accordingly, community fees will be adjusted on a resident by resident basis for
each Facility, if and to the

                                       15
<PAGE>

extent that the community fees have not been fully earned by the Facility Owner
prior to the First Closing Date.

                (ii)    Utility charges, if any, including water, sewer,
electric, and gas, based upon the last reading of meters prior to the Closing
shall be prorated. Sunrise shall endeavor to obtain meter readings on the day
before the First Closing Date, and if such readings are obtained, there shall be
no proration of such items. Sunrise shall pay at Closing the bills therefor for
the period to the day preceding the Closing, and the Joint Venture shall pay the
bills therefor for the period subsequent thereto. If the utility company will
not issue separate bills, the Joint Venture will receive a credit for Sunrise's
portion and will pay the entire bill prior to delinquency after Closing. If
Sunrise has paid any utilities no more than 30 days in advance in the ordinary
course of business, then the Joint Venture shall be charged its portion of such
payment at Closing;

                (iii)   Fees and charges under such of the service agreements,
licenses and permits as are being assigned to and assumed by the Joint Venture
at the Closing, on the basis of the periods to which such service agreements,
licenses and permits relate shall be prorated.;

                (iv)    Food inventory;

                (v)     Supplies inventory;

                (vi)    Petty cash;

                (vii)   Taxes imposed by governmental authority and any
assessments imposed by private covenant constituting a lien or charge on the
First Closing Facilities for the then current calendar year or other current tax
period not yet due and payable shall be prorated. If the Closing occurs prior to
the receipt by Sunrise of the tax bill for the calendar year or other applicable
tax period in which the Closing occurs, Sunrise and the Joint Venture shall
prorate Taxes for such calendar year or other applicable tax period based upon
the most recent ascertainable assessed values and tax rates.;

                (viii)  Any escrow accounts or cash deposits held by an utility
companies or otherwise to secure obligations under contracts that will continue
after Closing;

                (ix)    Interest on the Senior Financing; and

                (x)     Payments under any leases of personal property used in
connection with the operation of the First Closing Facilities.

Sunrise shall prepare a proposed schedule (the "PRORATION SCHEDULE") and deliver
it to the Investor at least five (5) business days prior to Closing, including:
(i) the items listed above, (ii) any items which are customarily apportioned
between parties in a similar transaction in the localities in which the First
Closing Facilities are located, and (iii) any other items the parties determine
necessary. Such Proration Schedule shall include all applicable income and
expenses with regard to the Facilities. Sunrise and Investor will use all
reasonable efforts to finalize and agree upon the Proration Schedule at least
two (2) business days prior to Closing. The amount of the Contribution shall be
adjusted in accordance with the Proration Schedule. Each party shall be
responsible for its own legal fees, appraisal fees and costs of third party
market and/or valuation reports in connection with this transaction. All other
costs of Closing, including, without

                                       16
<PAGE>

limitation, the costs of Surveys, Title Insurance, all transfer taxes, and all
fees charged by Fannie Mae or other Senior Lenders to provide consent to the
execution of the Lease Documentation, shall be paid by the Joint Venture, except
that any such costs which are customarily paid by the seller in the applicable
market in which a particular Facility is located shall be paid separately by
Sunrise.

        (b)     The parties agree that any amounts which may become due under
this Section 2.5 shall be paid at Closing as can best be determined. A
post-Closing reconciliation of such pro-rated items shall be made by the parties
no later than sixty (60) days after Closing and any amounts due at that time
shall be promptly forwarded to the respective party in a lump sum payment. Any
additional amounts which may become due after such determination shall be
forwarded at the time they are received. Any amounts due under this Section 2.5
which cannot be determined within sixty (60) days after Closing (such as, for
example, fiscal year-end real estate taxes) shall be reconciled as soon
thereafter as such amounts can be determined. Facility Owners agree that
Investor shall have the right to audit the records of Facility Owners in
connection with any such post-closing reconciliation. The covenants contained in
this Section 2.5 shall survive Closing.

        2.6     ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE.

        As of the Proration Date, the First Closing Facilities will have certain
outstanding accounts receivable (the "Receivables"). Each Facility Owner shall
receive a credit at Closing in consideration of the Joint Venture's right to
collect the Receivables after Closing. Such credit shall be in an amount equal
to eighty percent (80%) of the Receivables outstanding as of the First Closing
Date for the First Closing Facilities and eighty percent (80%) of the
Receivables outstanding as of the Future Closing Date for the Future Closing
Facilities. During the term of this Agreement, Facility Owners and Manager
covenant and agree to continue to use usual and customary procedures to collect
the Receivables which will be listed on Exhibit J within ten (10) days of the
date hereof.

        2.7     DEPOSITS.

        All tenant or Resident security deposits in Sunrise's possession, as
reflected on a final Rent Roll delivered to the Joint Venture (and interest
thereon if required by law or contract to be earned thereon) and not theretofore
applied to tenant obligations under the Leases, shall be transferred or credited
to the Joint Venture at Closing or placed in escrow if required by law. As of
the Closing, the Joint Venture shall assume Sunrise's obligations related to
tenant or Resident security deposits. The Joint Venture will indemnify, defend,
and hold Sunrise and the Investor harmless from and against all demands and
claims made by tenants arising out of the transfer or disposition of any tenant
or Resident security deposits transferred to the Joint Venture and will
reimburse Sunrise and the Investor for any reasonable expenses (including all
reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred or that may be incurred by Sunrise or the
Investor as a result of any such claims or demands by tenants. Sunrise will
indemnify, defend and hold the Joint Venture harmless from and against all
demands and claims made by tenants arising out of any tenant or Resident
security deposits not transferred to the Joint Venture and will reimburse the
Joint Venture for any reasonable expenses (including all reasonable attorneys'
fees) incurred or that may be incurred by the Joint Venture as a result of any
such claims or demands by tenants.

replacement facilities with a proposed Agreed Value to replace the Extended
Facilities deleted as aforesaid. Sunrise shall propose such replacement
facilities to Investor in writing and, if Investor agrees in writing to review
such replacement facilities, Sunrise shall deliver to Investor, within five (5)
business days after Investor so agrees to review such replacement facilities the
due diligence materials described in Section 3.1 with respect thereto. For each
replacement facility that Investor agrees to review, a thirty (30) Due Diligence
Period shall commence upon the delivery of such materials and during such
period, Investor shall be free at its sole discretion to accept or reject any
such replacement facility. If any one or more replacement facilities and its

replacement facility from the transaction, it shall proceed to close on the
remaining Facilities provided a total of nine (9) or more Facilities remain.

        6.2     NOTIFICATION OF CERTAIN MATTERS.

        Sunrise shall give prompt notice to Investor, and Investor shall give
prompt notice to Sunrise, of (i) the occurrence, or failure to occur, of any
event that would be likely to cause any of their respective representations or
warranties contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any

with respect to the Future Closing Facilities, and (ii) any failure on their

        6.3     TITLE; ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS.

        At the First Closing, the Facility Owners of the First Closing
Facilities shall own the Owned Assets free and clear of any Liens except

the Interests and to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement, to
include the issuance of a title policy with the customary zoning endorsement.
Investor shall execute or cause to be executed such documents, in addition to
those delivered at the applicable Closing as may be necessary to confirm
Investor's status as a member of the Joint Venture.

        6.4     OTHER CONSENTS.

        Sunrise shall use reasonable efforts to obtain the consents or waivers
to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement required under any Facility
Agreements or other third party agreements, such as the Alexandria Ground Lease
and the Hermosa Ground Lease; provided that Sunrise shall not be required to
make any financial accommodation to a third party in order to obtain any such
consent or waiver (other than payment of any amount otherwise due such third
party) and in the event that Sunrise is unable to obtain a material consent,
Investor shall not be obligated to close on such asset.

        6.5     INSPECTION AND ACCESS.

        Sunrise and Manager shall, commencing on the date of this Agreement,
open the assets, books, accounting records, correspondence and files of Sunrise

examination by Investor, its officers, attorneys, accountants and agents, with
the right to make copies of such books, records and files or extracts therefrom.
Such access will be available to Investor during normal business hours, upon
reasonable notice and in such manner as will not unreasonably interfere with the
conduct of the business of the applicable Facilities. All requests for access
shall be made by Investor to Daniel B. Gorham, Jay Beckhorn or Douglas Bath on
behalf of Sunrise. As and when Sunrise prepares

                                       31
<PAGE>

the same for its own purposes (which preparation shall be consistent in terms of
timing with Sunrise's past practices), Sunrise will furnish to Investor
unaudited financial statements of Sunrise for the periods from and after the
date of the Balance Sheet prepared in a manner consistent with the Balance
Sheet. Sunrise will make available to Investor such additional financial and
operating data and other available information regarding the applicable
Facilities or the Owned Assets as Investor may reasonably request. Each such
party shall give to the other party and its authorized representatives, during
normal business hours, such access to, and the opportunity at the other party's
expense to copy, such books and records retained by it as may be reasonably
requested by the other party.

        6.6     CONFIDENTIALITY; EXCLUSIVITY.

dated December 28, 2001 (the "CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT"), a copy of which is
attached hereto as Exhibit I, in connection with the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement, which agreement shall remain in full force and effect,
unmodified by the terms of this Agreement. Sunrise and Investor will use their
best efforts to comply with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, this Section 6.6 shall
survive the Closing indefinitely.

        (b)     For the period following the date hereof through the applicable
Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement, Sunrise shall negotiate
exclusively with Investor and shall not solicit or seek offers or expressions of
interest with respect to any of the Facilities from any party other than
Investor.

        6.7     PUBLICITY.

        The parties agree that no public release or announcement concerning the
transactions contemplated hereby shall be issued by any party without the prior
written consent of the other party, except as required by law or applicable
regulations.

        6.8     MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE.

        Investor and Sunrise will promptly notify the other party of any event
of which Investor or Sunrise, as the case may be, obtains knowledge which has
had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

        6.10    HEALTH DEPARTMENT REPORTS.

        6.11    TAX RETURNS AND PAYMENTS.

        Sunrise will timely file with the appropriate governmental agencies all
Tax Returns required to be filed by Sunrise with respect to the First Closing
Facilities prior to Closing and timely pay all Taxes reflected on such Tax
Returns as owing by Sunrise or its Affiliates.

        6.12    POST-CLOSING OBLIGATION OF SUNRISE.

        If required by the applicable State licensing agencies in connection
with the execution of the Lease Documentation contemplated by this Agreement,
following Closing, Sunrise shall use, and shall cause Manager to use diligent
efforts to have the Licenses reissued in accordance with Section 7.6 of this
Agreement. This covenant of Sunrise shall survive Closing indefinitely.

        6.13    SENIOR FINANCING.

        Sunrise will endeavor to close permanent Senior Financing in an
Islamically acceptable form on all the First Closing Facilities including those
now subject to the Fannie Mae Loans. All such financing shall be at fixed
interest rates with an amortization period of 300 months and a term acceptable
to Investor. If and to the extent that Sunrise is unable to place acceptable
Senior Financing prior to the First Closing Date, the terms of Sections 3.3 and
14.2 herein shall apply.

        6.14    HERMOSA BEACH FACILITY.

        Sunrise, on behalf of the Joint Venture, agrees to use its best efforts
to obtain from Senior Lender financing with a Loan to Value ("LTV") equal to or
greater than sixty-five percent (65%) to be secured by the Hermosa Beach
Facility. If the financing from Senior Lender is not sufficient to reach such
LTV, then Sunrise agrees in such instance to provide credit support which shall
not, however, include a cash escrow, a guarantee of the loan nor seller
financing, to make up the difference.

                                   ARTICLE VII
           CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO THE OBLIGATION OF INVESTOR TO CLOSE

        Investor's obligation to make the Contribution and acquire the Interests
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement is subject to the satisfaction, on or
prior to the First Closing Date with respect to First Closing Facilities and on
or prior to the Future Closing Date with respect to Future Closing Facilities,
of each of the following conditions, unless waived by Investor in writing:

        7.1     ACCURACY OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; CLOSING CERTIFICATE.

        (a)     The representations and warranties of Sunrise contained in this
Agreement or in any other Document shall be true and correct in all material
respects on the date hereof, and at the applicable Closing Date with same effect
as though made at such time except for changes permitted hereunder.

                                       33
<PAGE>

        (b)     Sunrise shall have delivered to Investor on the applicable
Closing Date a certificate that the conditions specified in Sections 7.1(a) and
7.2 are satisfied as of the applicable Closing Date.

        7.2     PERFORMANCE OF AGREEMENT.

        Sunrise shall have performed in all material respects all of its
covenants, agreements and obligations required by this Agreement and each of the
other Documents to be performed or complied with by it prior to or upon the
applicable Closing Date.

        7.3     TITLE INSURANCE AND SURVEY.

        (a)     The parties have ordered commitments for leasehold owner's
policies of title insurance (the "TITLE COMMITMENTS") issued by First American
Title Insurance Company - Washington, D.C. National Business Office ("TITLE
INSURER") covering each parcel of Real Property, in which the Title Insurer
shall agree to insure, in such amount as Investor deems adequate, merchantable
title to the leasehold interest created by the Lease Documentation in the name
of the Joint Venture, free from the Schedule B standard printed exceptions and
all other exceptions except Permitted Exceptions (as defined below) with such
endorsements as Investors shall reasonably require (to include a zoning and a
non-imputation endorsement) and with insurance coverage over any "gap" period.
Such Title Commitments shall have attached thereto complete, legible copies of
all instruments noted as exceptions therein. The Joint Venture shall pay any and
all costs and expenses related to the title insurance, including all search
fees, closing fees and the premium for the policy issued pursuant to the Title
Commitments.

        (b)     If (1) the Title Commitments reflect any exceptions to title
other than Permitted Liens which are not acceptable to Investor, or (2) the
Survey delivered to Investor pursuant to Section 7.3(d) below discloses any
state of fact not acceptable to Investor, or (3) at any time prior to the
Closing, title to the Real Property is encumbered by any exception to title
other than Permitted Liens which was not on the initial Title Commitments and is
not acceptable to Investor (any such exception or unacceptable state of fact
being referred to herein as a "TITLE DEFECT"), then Investor shall, on or before
the later of the end of the Due Diligence Period or ten (10) days following
receipt of the Title Commitments or discovery of the Title Defect, as the case
may be, give Sunrise written notice of such Title Defect (the "TITLE NOTICE").
Such Title Notice shall include a copy of the relevant Title Commitment and
copies of the exceptions. Any exception to title to the Real Property that is
(i) disclosed in the Title Commitment, or (ii) identified on a Survey, which, in
either case, is not identified as a Title Defect in the Title Notice, shall be
deemed to be a "Permitted Exception" for purposes of this Agreement. Sunrise
shall have the right, but not the obligation, within ten (10) days after receipt
of any such Title Notice, to notify Investor that Sunrise will take the action
necessary to remove such Title Defect. If Sunrise elects to so notify Investor,
then, on or before the Closing, Sunrise shall provide Investor with reasonable
evidence of such removal or provide title insurance over such Title Defect in
form satisfactory to Investor. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, Sunrise shall be obligated (or shall cause its Affiliates) to expend
whatever sums and take whatever other steps are required to cure the following
Title Defects prior to, or at, the Closing:

                (i)     All mortgages, security deeds, other security
instruments or other monetary liens encumbering the Real Property, other than
the Senior Financing;

                                       34
<PAGE>

                (ii)    All past due ad valorem taxes and assessments of any
kind, whether or not of record, which constitute, or may constitute, a lien
against the Real Property; and

                (iii)   Judgments against Sunrise (which do not result from acts
or omissions on the part of Investor) which have attached to and become a lien
against the Real Property.

        (c)     In the event Sunrise does not notify Investor, within such ten
(10) day period, that Sunrise will cure any Title Defect, Investor shall have
the option to (i) waive any Title Defect and proceed to Closing or (ii)
terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit. If Sunrise
notifies Investor that Sunrise will cure any Title Defect but fails to do so, or
if Sunrise is obligated to cure a Title Defect pursuant to subparagraph (b)
above and fails to do so, Investor shall have the right, in addition to the
rights described in the preceding sentence, to: (x) pay a sum (up to a maximum
of $10,000 per Facility) necessary to cure the Title Defect and deduct such
amount from the Contribution, or (y) pursue any and all remedies provided in
Section 11.2 of this Agreement as a result of Sunrise's default. Such maximum
sum shall not apply in the case of liens of a liquidated amount which are not
being disputed by Sunrise.

        (d)     Within five (5) days after the execution of this Agreement,
Investor, at its expense (to be reimbursed at closing by the Joint Venture if
closing takes place), may order boundary surveys for each parcel of the Real
Property (the "SURVEY" or "Surveys") prepared by a registered land surveyor or
surveyors satisfactory to Investor. The Surveys, if they are ordered, shall (1)
be completed in accordance with Investor's reasonable survey requirements, and
shall be certified to Sunrise, Investor, the Joint Venture, and the Title
Insurer by such surveyor; (2) have one perimeter description for the Real
Property on which each of the applicable Facilities are located; (3) show all
easements, rights-of-way, setback lines, encroachments and other matters
affecting the use or development of the Real Property; and (4) disclose on the
face thereof the gross and net acreage of each parcel of Real Property. Upon
receipt of the Survey by Investor, Investor shall promptly furnish a copy of
same to Sunrise. Investor, at its option, may choose not to order the Surveys
and instead rely on the Fannie Mae Surveys and other surveys prepared in
connection with the Senior Financing and the warranty of Sunrise in Article IV
above that, to its knowledge, no new survey matters have arisen with regard to
the Facilities.

        (e)     Any failure by Investor to perform under this Section 7.3 shall
not relieve Investor of its obligation to proceed to Closing under this
Agreement.

        (f)     At Closing, the Title Insurer shall be prepared to issue Title
Insurance Policies in accordance with the Title Commitments, with all
endorsements (to include zoning endorsements) included and with coverage over
any "gap" period.

        7.4     OTHER INSPECTIONS.

        During the Due Diligence Period, at reasonable times and upon reasonable
notice, Investor or its agent(s), consultants or other retained professionals
shall have the right, at Investor's expense, to perform or complete such
inspections and assessments of the Real Property and Improvements as Investor
deems necessary or desirable, including, without limitation, environmental and
structural aspects, and assessments of the compliance of the Facilities with all
applicable laws and regulations. Investor shall cause its inspectors and/or
consultants to deliver to Sunrise a copy of each such inspection report at the
time such report(s)

                                       35
<PAGE>

are delivered to Investor. A failure by Investor to perform any inspections or
assessments shall not relieve Investor of its obligation to proceed to Closing
under this Agreement.

        7.5     DELIVERY OF CLOSING DOCUMENTS.

        Sunrise shall have delivered or caused to be delivered to Investor on
the applicable Closing Date each of the documents required to be delivered
pursuant to Section 9.2.

        7.6     LICENSES.

        If any change in the Licenses is required under applicable law in
connection with the execution of the Lease Documentation by the Facility Owners
as contemplated by this Agreement, then the Facility Owners shall timely file
any required application with the applicable Health Department, and the
appropriate Licenses shall have been issued or appropriate assurances received
that operations at the Facilities may continue without disruption. Sunrise shall
have provided outside counsel opinions (other than with respect to Sunrise
Alexandria) in a form satisfactory to Investor, with respect to those Facilities
for which a License is not yet in place, regarding the validity of operating
such Facilities under the new Joint Venture structure prior to the issuance of a
new License.

        The execution and delivery by Manager and the Joint Venture of mutually
acceptable Management Agreements for the operation of each of the applicable
Facilities, the latest draft of which is attached hereto as Exhibit M.

        The execution and delivery by Investor and SALII of a mutually
acceptable Venture Agreement to govern the operation of the Joint Venture, the
latest draft of which is attached hereto as Exhibit R.

        Fannie Mae and the other holders of the Senior Financing (such lenders
collectively, the "SENIOR LENDERS") shall have given their consent to the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. There shall be no assumption fee on
the Fannie Mae Loans, other than standard review fees and attorney's fees, which
shall be a Joint Venture expense. SDI and SALII shall provide a certificate to
Investor certifying that the Senior Financing is in full force and effect, and
there exists no Event of Default thereunder, and no event or circumstance which,
with the passing of time or giving of notice, would constitute an Event of
Default thereunder. SALII and Investor shall reasonably consider any
commercially reasonable modifications to this Agreement, the Lease Documentation
and the Venture Agreement that Senior Lenders may require in connection with the
approval by Senior Lenders of the transactions contemplated hereby.

                                    ARTICLE X
                                 INDEMNIFICATION

        10.1    SURVIVAL.

        All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this
Agreement or any other Document shall survive the Closing. The rights to
indemnification set forth in this Article X shall be exclusive of all other
rights to monetary damages that any party (or the party's successors or assigns)
would otherwise have by statute or common law in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Document.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if (a) Investor is notified of
the untruth of any representation or warranty made by Sunrise hereunder by (i)
written notice from Sunrise (which notice shall refer to the representation or
warranty which is untrue) or (ii) the professional written reports and studies
prepared by Investor as part of Investor's due diligence, and (b) Investor
nevertheless elects to close under this Agreement, then Investor shall be deemed
to have waived the breach in question and shall not assert any post-closing
claim against Sunrise with respect to that breach. However, if Sunrise first
notifies Investor of any such untruth after the end of the Due Diligence Period
or extended Due Diligence Period, as applicable, such notification shall be
deemed a material default by Sunrise and, if Investor elects to terminate this
Agreement, Investor shall be entitled to liquidated damages, as provided in
Section 11.2(a)(i) below.

        10.2    INDEMNIFICATION BY SUNRISE.

        Sunrise shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Investor, the Joint
Venture, and their respective officers, directors, employees, Affiliates,
successors and assigns from and against, and pay or reimburse each of them for
and with respect to, any Loss relating to, arising out of or resulting from any
of the following:

        (a)     Any breach by Sunrise of any of its representations, warranties,
covenants or agreements in this Agreement or any other Document; or

        (b)     Any obligation, indebtedness or liability of Sunrise other than
(i) the Owner Obligations and (ii) obligations, indebtedness or liabilities to
the extent an adjustment is made to the Contribution pursuant to Section 2.5.
Subject to the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the obligations, indebtedness and
liabilities of Sunrise hereunder shall include, but not be limited to, (a)
claims by state or federal governmental agencies for payment of claims for
reimbursement of costs, regardless of whether disclosed to Investor and
regardless whether constituting a breach by Sunrise of any representation,
warranty, covenant or agreement hereunder or under any other Document, including
any claims relating to liability or responsibility under any Environmental Law
and (b) all claims and causes of action held by SALII against third parties, or
held by any third party against SALII, which claims or causes of action accrued
prior to the First Closing Date, regardless of whether constituting a breach by
Sunrise of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement hereunder.

        10.3    [Intentionally Deleted]

        10.4    ADMINISTRATION OF INDEMNIFICATION.

        For purposes of administering the indemnification provision set forth in
Sections 10.2, the following procedure shall apply:

        (a)     Whenever a claim shall arise for indemnification under this
Article, the party entitled to indemnification (the "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") shall
reasonably promptly give written notice to the party from whom indemnification
is sought (the "INDEMNIFYING PARTY") setting forth in reasonable detail, to the
extent then available, the facts concerning the nature of such claim and the
basis upon which the Indemnified Party believes that it is entitled to
indemnification hereunder.

        (b)     In the event of any claim for indemnification resulting from or
in connection with any claim by a third party, the Indemnifying Party shall be
entitled, at its sole expense, either (i) to participate in defending against
such claim or (ii) to assume the entire defense with counsel which is selected
by it and which is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party provided
that (A) the Indemnifying Party agrees in writing that it does not and will not
contest its responsibility for indemnifying the Indemnified Party in respect of
such claim or proceeding and (B) no settlement shall be made and no judgment
consented to without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party which
shall not be unreasonably withheld. If, however, (i) the claim, action, suit or
proceeding would, if successful, result in the imposition of damages for which
the Indemnifying Party would not be solely responsible, or (ii) representation
of both parties by the same counsel would otherwise be inappropriate due to
actual or potential differing interests between them, then the Indemnifying
Party shall not be entitled to assume the entire defense and each party shall be
entitled to retain counsel who shall cooperate with one another in defending
against such claim. In the case of Clause (i) of the preceding sentence, the
Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to bear only that portion of the expense
of the Indemnified Party's counsel that is in proportion to the damages
indemnifiable by the Indemnifying Party compared to the total amount of the
third-party claim against the Indemnified Party.

        (c)     If the Indemnifying Party does not choose to defend against a
claim by a third party, the Indemnified Party may defend in such manner as it
deems appropriate or settle the claim (after giving notice thereof to the
Indemnifying Party) on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate,
and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to periodic reimbursement of defense
expenses incurred and prompt indemnification from the Indemnifying Party in
accordance with this Article.

        (d)     Failure or delay by an Indemnified Party to give a reasonably
prompt notice of any claim (if given prior to expiration of any applicable
Survival Period) shall not release, waive or otherwise affect an Indemnifying
Party's obligations with respect to the claim, except to the extent that the
Indemnifying Party can demonstrate actual loss or prejudice as a result of such
failure or delay.

        (e)     The provisions of Sections 10.2 and this Section 10.4 shall
survive the Closing hereunder indefinitely.

                                   ARTICLE XI
                             DEFAULT AND TERMINATION

        11.1    RIGHT OF TERMINATION.

        This Agreement may be terminated as to the Extended Facilities during
the Extended Due Diligence Period for any reason or no reason, for failure of
any of the conditions set forth in Article VII to occur, or as otherwise
permitted by this Agreement. Investor shall not be entitled to receive a refund
of the Deposit with respect to such a termination.

        11.2    REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT.

        (a)     If Sunrise defaults on any of its material obligations
hereunder, Investor may, as its sole remedy hereunder, by serving notice in
writing to the Sunrise in the manner provided in this Agreement, either:

                (i)     Terminate this Agreement and declare it null and void,
in which event the Deposit shall be immediately returned to Investor and in
addition, Sunrise shall pay to Investor the sum of One Million Dollars
($1,000,000) as agreed and liquidated damages, and as the sole legal or
equitable remedy for Sunrise's default, Sunrise and Investor hereby
acknowledging and agreeing that the damages which Investor would suffer as a
result of such default and termination would be difficult, if not impossible, to
determine and that the liquidated damages provided for herein are a fair and
reasonable estimation of such damages; or

                (ii)    Waive any such conditions, title objections or defaults
and consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement in the same manner
as if there had been no title objections, conditions or defaults without any
reduction in the Contribution and without any further claim against Sunrise
therefor.

        (b)     If Investor materially defaults on any of its obligations
hereunder, including, without limitation, the obligation to make the
Contribution on or before the applicable Closing Date, time being of the
essence, then Sunrise may as its sole remedy hereunder, by serving notice in
writing to Investor in the manner provided in this Agreement, obtain the Deposit
from Title Insurer in the amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), Investor
and Sunrise hereby acknowledging and agreeing that the damages which Sunrise
would suffer as a result of such default and termination would be difficult, if
not impossible, to determine and that the liquidated damages provided for herein
are a fair and reasonable estimation of such damages.

        11.3    NO SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE.

        Investor specifically agrees that Investor shall not be entitled, in the
event of a breach by Sunrise, to enforcement of this Agreement by a decree of
specific performance or injunctive relief requiring Sunrise to fulfill its
obligations under this Agreement. Investor hereby knowingly and intentionally
waives any such right of specific performance or injunctive relief in favor of
Investor's right to recover liquidated damages as set forth in Section 11.2(a)
above for Sunrise's breach.

        11.4    OBLIGATIONS UPON TERMINATION.

        Upon termination of this Agreement, each party shall thereafter remain
liable for breach of this Agreement prior to such termination. If this Agreement
is terminated without any breach by either party hereto, each of the parties
shall be liable and responsible for any costs incurred by such party in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

        11.5    TERMINATION NOTICE.

        Each notice given by a party to terminate this Agreement shall specify
the Subsection of Article XI pursuant to which such notice is given. If at the
time a party gives a termination notice, such party is entitled to give such
notice pursuant to more than one Section of Article XI the Subsection pursuant
to which such notice is given and termination is effected shall be deemed to be
the section specified in such notice provided that the party giving such notice
is at such time entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the specified
section.

        11.6    SURVIVAL.

        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein upon the
expiration or any termination of this Agreement the rights and obligations of
the parties under Section 6.6 and Section 6.7 shall survive such termination or
expiration for a period of one (1) year.

                                   ARTICLE XII
                              TRANSITIONAL MATTERS

        12.1    PRIOR TO CLOSING.

        Upon a written request from Investor or Manager, the parties shall
conduct meetings with residents, families of residents and employees of Manager
for the purpose of explaining as the parties hereto deem reasonably necessary
any changes resulting from the Lease Documentation or in the operation of the
Facilities arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby.

                                  ARTICLE XIII
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

        13.1    FURTHER ACTIONS.

        From time to time before, at and after the Closing, each party, at its
expense and without further consideration, will execute and deliver such
documents as reasonably requested by the other party in order more effectively
to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

        13.8    SEVERABILITY.

        Any provision of this Agreement which is unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and
any such unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted
by applicable law, the parties hereto hereby waive any provision of law now or
hereafter in effect which renders any provision hereof unenforceable in any
respect.

        13.9    HEADINGS.

        The captions in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and
shall not define or limit any of the terms or provisions hereof.

        13.10   COUNTERPARTS.

        This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by any
party on separate counterparts, each of which shall be an original, and all of
which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

        13.11   REFERENCES.

        All references in this Agreement to Articles and Sections are to
Articles and Sections contained in this Agreement unless a different document is
expressly specified.

        13.12   EXHIBITS.

shall, in addition to any other recovery, be entitled to its reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses arising from such action and any appeal or any
bankruptcy action related thereto, whether or not such matter proceeds to court.
For purposes of this Agreement, "prevailing party" shall mean, in the case of a
person asserting a claim, such person is successful in obtaining substantially
all of the relief sought, and in the case of a person defending against or
responding to a claim, such person is successful in denying substantially all of
the relief sought.

        13.14   SECTION 1031 EXCHANGE; TAX MATTERS.

        The parties agree and understand that, if requested by either party, the
other party shall cooperate in permitting the requesting party to accomplish an
exchange under Section 1031 of the Code; provided, however, that such exchange
shall not modify any terms of this Agreement, shall not delay the Closing, shall
not relieve Sunrise of any liability for Sunrise's obligations hereunder, shall
not cause Investor to incur any liability or additional expense therefor or be
required to take title to any other property, and shall not cause Investor
(except for customary consent to assignment of this Agreement to an exchange
intermediary) to incur obligations to any third parties. Investor shall
cooperate with Sunrise in all reasonable respects, subject to Shari'ah
compliance, to reduce or defer income taxes and recordation taxes imposed in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

        13.15   CLOSING AFFIDAVITS.

        Sunrise shall execute, and shall cause its Affiliates to execute, at
Closing, such affidavits and/or certifications as may be necessary to consummate
the transactions contemplated hereby.

        13.16   JOINT AND SEVERAL.

        Each of the parties defined as "Sunrise" shall be jointly and severally
liable with the other such parties for performing all obligations of Sunrise
under this Agreement.

        13.17   CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION.

        (a)     The risk of any loss or damage to the First Closing Facilities,
or any of them individually, by fire or other casualty before the First Closing
Date shall continue to be borne by Sunrise. The risk of any loss or damage to
the Future Closing Facilities, or any of them individually, by fire or other
casualty before the Future Closing Date shall continue to be borne by Sunrise.
Sunrise shall promptly give Investor written notice of any fire or other
casualty (in any event within five (5) days of the occurrence of same), which
notice shall include a description thereof in reasonable detail and an estimate
of the cost of time to repair. In the event that any Facility shall suffer any
fire or other casualty or any injury and Investor does not elect to cancel this
Agreement as to that Facility as hereinafter provided, Sunrise shall repair the
damage at its sole cost and expense before the applicable Closing Date or, at
the option of Investor, make an appropriate and proportionate reduction in the
Contribution herein set forth based on a reasonable approximation of the cost of
such repair as agreed by the parties plus any deductibles. In the event of any
material damage or destruction of any of the Facilities, Investor, at any time
thereafter, by written notice to Sunrise, shall have the option to cancel this
Agreement as to the Facility which suffered the casualty. For the purposes
hereof, "material" damage or destruction shall include any damage or destruction
which would require more than $250,000 per Facility to repair (including in said
amount the amount of any revenues lost as a result of said fire or other
casualty). If Investor so elects to cancel this Agreement as to the Facility
which suffered the casualty, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further
force and effect as to such Facility only.

        (b)     The risk of any loss or damage to the First Closing Facilities
by condemnation before the First Closing Date shall continue to be borne by
Sunrise. The risk of any loss or damage to the Future Closing Facilities by
condemnation before the Future Closing Date shall continue to

                                       49
<PAGE>

be borne by Sunrise. In the event any condemnation proceeding is commenced or
threatened, Sunrise shall promptly give Investor written notice thereof (in any
event within five (5) days after the occurrence of same), together with such
reasonable details with respect thereto as to which Sunrise may have knowledge.
As soon thereafter as the portion or portions of the Facility to be taken are
reasonably determinable, Sunrise shall give Investor written notice thereof
("SUNRISE'S NOTICE") together with Sunrise's estimate of the value of the
portion or portions of the Facility to be so taken. In the event of any taking
of any portion of any Facility or any means of access thereto, Investor, by
written notice to Sunrise at any time thereafter, shall have the option to
cancel this Agreement as to the Facility which is the subject of the
condemnation, in which event this Agreement shall terminate as to the Facility
which is the subject of the condemnation, and be of no further force and effect.
If Investor shall not so elect to cancel this Agreement, then Investor's
acquisition of the Interests and Contribution to the Joint Venture shall be
consummated as herein provided (without abatement) and Sunrise shall pay over to
the Joint Venture at the Closing all amounts theretofore received by Sunrise in
connection with such condemnation or insurance received therefor and shall
assign to the Joint Venture all rights to any future condemnation
awards/proceeds due with respect thereto.

        (c)     The parties' obligations, if any, under this Section 13.17 shall
survive the Closing.

                                   ARTICLE XIV
                                 FUTURE CLOSINGS

        14.1    FUTURE CLOSING FACILITIES.

        The Facilities listed below, or such other Facilities that do not close
as of the First Closing Date shall constitute the Future Closing Facilities.
Provided that the conditions set forth in the Venture Agreement are satisfied
with respect to such Facilities and that the Investor desires to close on such
Facilities, then the Future Closing Facilities shall proceed to close as though
they were First Closing Facilities, subject to the provisions of this Agreement,
except as modified below.

</TABLE>

        14.2    FUTURE CLOSING DATES.

        Investor's initial acquisition of the Interests shall take place on the
First Closing Date specified in Section 9.1 herein, at which time the Joint
Venture shall have acquired the First Closing Facilities (or interests therein)
from Underlying Interest Owners, sold the First Closing Facilities (or
interests) to the SPVs and entered into Lease Documentation with respect to a
minimum of nine (9) First Closing Facilities. It is possible that the Senior
Financing shall not

                                       50
<PAGE>

have been placed on all the Facilities by the First Closing Date. In particular,
Investor acknowledges that, as of the date of this Agreement, the Canyon Crest
Facility and the Buffalo Grove Facility are pre-stabilized and are not expected
to stabilize (that is, have greater than a 93% occupancy for three consecutive
months) until the end of February, 2002. Accordingly, it is unlikely that
Sunrise Riverside and Sunrise Buffalo Grove will be able to close on Senior
Financing with respect to those Facilities by the First Closing Date. Sunrise
Riverside will use its best efforts to obtain permanent financing in the amount
of approximately $8,778,000, and to close such financing by April 15, 2002.
Sunrise Buffalo Grove will use its best efforts to obtain permanent financing in
the amount of approximately $9,100,000, and to close such financing by April 15,
2002. If the permanent financing with respect to Sunrise Buffalo Grove is not
sufficient to reach the minimum agreed upon loan amount of $9,100,000 then
Sunrise agrees to use its best efforts to provide credit support to Fannie Mae,
which shall not, however, include a cash escrow, a guarantee of the loan nor
seller financing, in order to reach such loan amount (the "SUNRISE BUFFALO GROVE
SUPPORT"). On the Future Closing Date, such Future Closing Facility will be
acquired by the Joint Venture, sold to the SPV and the SPV will enter into the
Lease Documentation with the Joint Venture. At such time, Investor shall
contribute to the Joint Venture an amount equal to 80% of the excess of the
Agreed Value for such Future Closing Facility over the outstanding principal
balance of the Senior Financing secured by the Future Closing Facility. Sunrise
shall have the right to withdraw such contribution from the capital of the Joint
Venture or, in the alternative, such amount will be paid by the Joint Venture to
the Facility Owner or the Underlying Interest Owner. If, despite Sunrise's best
efforts, the Senior Financing on the Canyon Crest Facility or the Buffalo Grove
Facility has not closed by April 15, 2002, the Joint Venture shall have the
continuing right to cause Sunrise Riverside and/or Sunrise Buffalo Grove to
obtain the permanent financing in an Islamically acceptable form through July
31, 2002. If, prior to April 15, 2002, the permanent financing has been
obtained, then Sunrise Riverside and/or Sunrise Buffalo Grove shall within five
(5) days thereafter enter into the Lease Documentation with the Joint Venture.
Sunrise will use best efforts such that the Senior Financing shall have an
interest rate of 7.5% per annum or below. If the Senior Financing on the Canyon
Crest or Buffalo Grove facilities is not closed by July 31, 2002, or the terms
thereof are not acceptable to Investor, the Investor may, in its sole
discretion, terminate the Joint Venture's obligation to acquire the Canyon Crest
Facility or the Buffalo Grove Facility as applicable, and Investor shall no
longer have an obligation to make the contribution to the Joint Venture with
respect thereto. If there are other Facilities with respect to which the
permanent financing has not been closed by the First Closing Date, then, at
Investor's sole option, the acquisition of such Future Closing Facility, sale
thereof to the SPV and the execution and delivery of the Lease Documentation
with such SPV, may be deferred through July 31, 2002 in order to provide
adequate time for the Senior Financing to be closed. If the Senior Financing is
not acceptable to the Investor, Investor shall have the right to cause the Joint
Venture to terminate its rights to acquire such Future Closing Facility. The
covenants contained in this Section 14.2 shall survive the applicable Closing.

        14.3    PACIFIC PALISADES FACILITY.

        The Pacific Palisades Facility is not expected to stabilize until
mid-2002. The Agreed Value ("PACIFIC PALISADES INITIAL PROPERTY VALUE") shown on
Exhibit B is subject to adjustment as set forth in the Venture Agreement. Until
such adjustment is final, SALII will guarantee, pursuant to a separate guarantee
agreement, the net operating income of the Facility based on a

                                       51
<PAGE>

9.50% return on the Pacific Palisades Initial Property Value. The Joint Venture
does not intend to seek permanent Senior Financing on the Pacific Palisades
Facility until it reaches stabilization. Until such time as permanent Senior
Financing is in place, Sunrise will use best, good faith efforts to obtain first
trust bridge financing for approximately fifty percent (50%) of the Pacific
Palisades Initial Property Value, and SALII will provide financing on the asset,
all in an Islamically acceptable form, at an aggregate loan-to-value of
approximately 65% and a market interest rate. SALII's financing will be
subordinate to the Senior Financing and will meet any requirements described in
the documentation of the Senior Financing. Once the Pacific Palisades Final
Property Value has been determined, Investor and Sunrise will work together, as
members of the Joint Venture, to secured fixed rate Senior Financing on the
Facility in an Islamically acceptable form. Proceeds from the Senior Financing
will be used to repay the bridge loan and SALII's financing. This Section 14.3
shall survive the Closing.

        14.4    BUFFALO GROVE FACILITY.

        The Buffalo Grove Facility is pre-stabilized and not expected to
stabilize until mid-2002. The Agreed Value ("BUFFALO GROVE INITIAL PROPERTY
VALUE") shown on Exhibit B is subject to adjustment as set forth in the Venture
Agreement. Until such adjustment is final, Sunrise will guarantee the net
operating income of the Facility based on a 10.50% return on the Buffalo Grove
Initial Property Value. If the Senior Financing has not closed by April 15,
2002, the Joint Venture shall have the continuing right to cause Sunrise Buffalo
Grove to obtain the permanent financing in an Islamically acceptable form
through July 31, 2002. If the Senior Financing is not closed by July 31, 2002,
or the terms thereof are not acceptable to Investor, then Investor may, in its
sole discretion, terminate the Joint Venture's obligation to acquire the
Facility and Investor shall no longer have the obligation to make the
contribution to the joint venture with respect thereto.

        14.5    CANYON CREST FACILITY.

        The Canyon Crest Facility is pre-stabilized and not expected to
stabilize until the end of February 2002. Accordingly, it is unlikely that
Sunrise Riverside will be able to close on Senior Financing by the First Closing
Date. If the Senior Financing has not closed by April 15, 2002, the Joint
Venture shall have the continuing right to cause Sunrise Riverside to obtain the
permanent financing in an Islamically acceptable form through July 31, 2002. If
the Senior Financing is not closed by July 31, 2002, or the terms thereof are
not acceptable to Investor, then Investor may, in its sole discretion, terminate
the Joint Venture's obligation to acquire the Facility and Investor shall no
longer have the obligation to make the contribution to the joint venture with
respect thereto.

        14.6    MODIFIED PROVISIONS.

        If Investor desires to close on the Future Closing Facilities, then the
such Facilities shall proceed to close in the same manner and subject to the
same terms, conditions and covenants as though they were First Closing
Facilities, subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
