         RE:  KEY CORPORATE CAPITAL INC. CREDIT FACILITIES

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         Reference is made to that certain master loan commitment issued by Key
Corporate Capital Inc. (the "Lender") to ALS-Northeast, LLC dated May 5, 1998
and accepted by ALS-Northeast, LLC on May 6, 1998 (the "Master Commitment").
Pursuant to the Master Commitment and pursuant to project-specific commitments
between Lender and each of you (individually, a "Borrower" and collectively, the
"Borrowers"), the Lender has extended or is extending credit facilities to each
Borrower (individually, a "Credit Facility" and collectively, the "Credit
Facilities"). Each of the Credit Facilities is evidenced by a secured promissory
note (individually, a "Note" and collectively, the "Notes") and is secured by
various documents executed and delivered by each Borrower to the Lender
(collectively, the "Loan Documents") in respect to the specific project (the
"Project") owned by each Borrower. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined
shall have the meaning set forth in the Loan Documents.

         This letter shall constitute: (1) an amendment of the Master Commitment
with respect to financial covenants required to be maintained by Alterra
Healthcare Corporation ("Alterra") and (2) an amendment of each of the Notes and
each of the Loan Documents with respect to the financial covenants required to
be maintained by Alterra.

         Effective on this date hereof, any financial covenant required to be
maintained by Alterra and set forth in the Master Commitment, as amended, any of
the Notes or any of the Loan Documents shall be deleted in its entirety, and
replaced with the following financial covenants:

         1. MINIMUM CONSOLIDATED NET WORTH. Alterra will not permit the sum of
its (i) Consolidated Net Worth, (ii) the aggregate liquidation value of its
outstanding preferred stock, if any, which was issued in connection with the New
Capital Funding Requirement (including any additional shares of preferred stock
issued thereafter as an additional investment in Alterra or as "payment in kind"
of accrued dividends), and (iii) the aggregate principal amount of its
outstanding subordinated Indebtedness, if any, which was issued in connection
with the New Capital Funding Requirement (as hereinafter defined) and is
subordinate to the Obligations (including any Additional Debentures [as defined
in the Purchase Agreement] or other additional subordinated Indebtedness issued
thereafter as an additional investment in Alterra or as "payment in kind" of
accrued interest), at any time to be less than $150,000,000, except that
(excluding amounts which would result in double-counting by reason of inclusion
in more than one of the following paragraphs (a) through (k)):

               (a)  effective as of the end of Alterra's fiscal quarter ended
                    June 30, 1999, the foregoing amount (as it may from time to
                    time be adjusted as herein provided), shall be increased by
                    50% of the Consolidated Net Income of Alterra for the two
                    fiscal quarters ended on such date, if any (there being no
                    reduction in the case of any such Consolidated Net Income
                    which reflects a deficit);

               (b)  effective as of the end of Alterra's fiscal quarter ended
                    September 30, 1999, and as of the end of each fiscal quarter
                    thereafter, the foregoing amount (as it may from time to
                    time be adjusted as herein provided), shall be increased by
                    50% of the Consolidated Net Income of Alterra for the fiscal
                    quarter ended on such date, if any (there being no reduction
                    in the case of any such Consolidated Net Income which
                    reflects a deficit);

               (c)  the foregoing amount (as it may from time to time be
                    adjusted as herein provided), shall be increased by an
                    amount equal to 75% of the cash proceeds (net of
                    underwriting discounts and commissions and other customary
                    fees and costs associated therewith) from any sale or
                    issuance of equity by Alterra after December 31, 1998 (other
                    than any sale or issuance to any Subsidiary or to management
                    or employees pursuant to employee benefit plans of general
                    application);

               (d)  the foregoing amount (as it may from time to time be
                    adjusted as herein provided), shall be increased by an
                    amount equal to 75% of (x) the principal amount of
                    Indebtedness or (y) the higher of stated value or
                    liquidation value of Redeemable Stock, as the case may be,
                    which Indebtedness or Redeemable Stock is converted or
                    exchanged after December 31, 1998 into common stock of
                    Alterra or any of its Subsidiaries;

               (e)  the foregoing amount (as it may from time to time be
                    adjusted as herein provided), shall be increased by an
                    amount equal to 75% of the increase in Consolidated Net
                    Worth attributable to the issuance of common stock or other
                    equity interests subsequent to December 31, 1998 as
                    consideration in any Acquisition;

               (f)  effective as of the end of Alterra's fiscal quarter ended
                    December 31, 1999, the foregoing amount (as it may from time
                    to time be adjusted as herein provided), shall be decreased
                    by the lesser of (A) 75% of the aggregate non-cash charges
                    taken during such fiscal quarter, if any, and (B)
                    $33,750,000;

               (g)  the foregoing amount (as it may from time to time be
                    increased or decreased as herein provided), shall be
                    increased (without duplication of any increases pursuant to
                    paragraphs (c) or (d) hereof) by an amount equal to 75% of
                    the cash proceeds (net of underwriting discounts and
                    placement commissions and other customary fees and costs
                    associated therewith) from any sale or issuance by Alterra
                    of the Initial Securities or any Additional Debentures (as
                    such terms are defined in the Purchase Agreement);

                    increased or decreased as herein provided), shall be
                    decreased by an amount, not in excess of $25,000,000 in the
                    aggregate, representing 75% of the non-cash losses from the

                    reduction or elimination of overhead or other costs, charges

               (j)  the foregoing amount (as it may from time to time be
                    increased or decreased as herein provided), shall be
                    decreased by 75% of the amount of any reduction made after

                    assets as a result of any change in GAAP; and

                    increased or decreased as herein provided), shall be
                    increased (without duplication of any increases pursuant to

                    "paid-in-kind" or otherwise treated as an accretion to
                    principal pursuant to the terms of the Initial Securities or

                  (iii) If Alterra fails to satisfy the ratio set forth in
         subsection (i) hereof, for any Testing Period but does satisfy the
         ratio set forth in subsection (ii) hereof, for such Testing Period,
         then such failure shall not constitute an Event of Default under the
         Master Commitment or the Loan Documents if, within forty-five (45) days
         following the end of the applicable Testing Period, (A) Alterra (x)
         notifies the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement (as
         defined in subsection [v] hereof) and demonstrates that it has
         sufficient Carry-Over QLE Credit such that when such Carry-Over QLE
         Credit is added to and considered part of Consolidated EBITDAR for such
         Testing Period, the ratio set forth in subsection (i) shall be
         satisfied, or (y) completes what it believes is a Qualifying Liquidity
         Event resulting in net cash proceeds which, if added to and considered
         to be part of Consolidated EBITDAR for such Testing Period would result
         in the ratio required by subsection (i) being complied with, and
         Alterra notifies the Administrative Agent thereof and provides evidence
         of the occurrence thereof in reasonable detail (including, without
         limitation, a written description of the information provided to the
         Board of Directors of Alterra with respect to any sale of
         residence-level assets, including the location of the asset, financial
         performance of the asset for the most recent year and the projected
         following year, the current financing of the asset and anticipated cash
         proceeds resulting from the sale, and further including a
         representation to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that the
         sale of such asset would not result in a future violation of any
         covenant contained in the Credit Agreement), together with a
         computation in reasonable detail of the ratio set forth in subsection
         (i) which gives effect to the net cash proceeds received from such
         Qualifying Liquidity Event, together with the Carry-Over QLE Credit, if
         any, and (B) the Administrative Agent confirms its belief that there is
         a sufficient Carry-Over QLE Credit and/or a Qualifying Liquidity Event
         has occurred and that Alterra's computations support the conclusion
         that no Event of Default occurred by virtue of this subsection (iii)
         and so notifies the parties hereto (which notice the Administrative
         Agent shall issue promptly upon confirmation of such conditions).

                  (iv) If on a single occasion during any single fiscal quarter
         ended after March 31, 2000, Alterra incurs non-recurring losses or
         charges related to the reduction or elimination of overhead or other
         costs, charges or expenses in connection with a

         restructuring of Alterra's stock option program, then notwithstanding
         anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty, in computing
         Consolidated EBITDAR for any Testing Period which includes such fiscal
         quarter, for purposes of subsections (i) and (ii) only, the aggregate
         amount of such non-recurring cash losses and charges, up to a maximum
         of $2,500,000, shall be an addition to and considered part of
         Consolidated EBITDAR.

                  (v) If during any fiscal quarter ended after March 31, 2000,
         Alterra or any Affiliate receives advances of loan proceeds pursuant to
         (i) the Master Construction Line of Credit Agreement dated as of August
         31, 1999 among Third Party Investors I, LLC, the lending institutions
         named therein, the co-agents named therein and Key Corporate Capital
         Inc. as administrative agent, as amended (the "CREDIT AGREEMENT"), (ii)
         the Master Construction Line of Credit Agreement dated as of October 6,
         1998 among Alterra, the borrowers which become a party thereto, the
         lending institutions (the "Lenders") named therein, the co-agents named
         therein and Key Corporate Capital Inc. as administrative agent, as
         amended (the "OCTOBER 1998 CREDIT AGREEMENT"), or (iii) the Master
         Commitment or the Loan Documents related to project lease-up interest
         expense or project lease-up operating deficits (but only to the extent
         that such losses would be reflected on the financial statements of
         Alterra with respect to such advances pursuant to the Master Commitment
         or the Loan Documents), THEN notwithstanding anything to the contrary
         contained in this Agreement, in computing Consolidated EBITDAR for any
         Testing Period which includes such fiscal quarter, for purposes of
         subsections (i) and (ii) only, the aggregate amount of such advances
         shall be an addition to and considered part of Consolidated EBITDAR.

                  (i) Alterra will not permit the aggregate of its unrestricted
         cash and Cash Equivalents, together with the undisbursed funds
         deposited by Alterra pursuant to section 4(e) of Amendment No. 2 to the
         Credit Agreement and section 4(f) of Amendment No. 4 to the October
         1998 Credit Agreement), at any time, to be less than $10,000,000,
         provided, however, that the covenant contained in this Section 3(i)
         shall be of no further force or effect upon the satisfaction of the
         ratio of (a) Consolidated EBITDAR for any fiscal quarter, to (b)
         Consolidated Lease and Debt Service Charges for such fiscal quarter,
         exceeds 1.0 to 1.0 for two (2) consecutive fiscal quarters, with the
         first eligible fiscal quarter to be measured hereunder being the fiscal
         quarter ending June 30, 2000, and continued maintenance of such ratio
         thereafter; and

                  (ii) Alterra will not permit the aggregate of its unrestricted
         cash and Cash Equivalents, together with the undisbursed funds

         than $20,000,000, provided, however, that the covenant contained in
         this subsection (ii) shall be of no further force or effect upon the
         satisfaction of both (a) the sale of Additional Debentures (as defined
         in the Purchase Agreement) resulting in cash proceeds of at least
         $50,000,000 (net of underwriting discounts and placement commissions
         and other customary fees and costs associated therewith), and (b) the
         ratio of (x) Consolidated EBITDAR for any fiscal quarter, to (y)
         Consolidated Lease and Debt Service Charges for such fiscal quarter,

         in compliance with section 4 of the Letter Agreement during such
         period, such ratio shall not exceed .73 to 1.0.

         similar instrument or amendment thereto, which amendment, agreement,
         indenture, guaranty or instrument, includes affirmative or negative

         Administrative Agent and the Lenders and, if the Administrative Agent

         shall promptly amend this Agreement to incorporate some or all of such
         provisions, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent and the
         Required Lenders, into this Agreement and, to the extent necessary and
         reasonably desirable to the Administrative Agent and the Required

creditors' rights and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement
is sought in equity or at law).

of the Credit Parties contained in the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, or
in the other Credit Documents are true and correct in all material respects on
and as of the date hereof as though made on and as of the date hereof, except to

<PAGE>   9

         2.3. NO EVENT OF DEFAULT. No condition or event has occurred or exists
which constitutes or which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would
constitute an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement as amended hereby, or
under the other Credit Documents.

         2.4. COMPLIANCE. The Company is in full compliance with all covenants
and agreements contained in the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, and the
other Credit Documents to which it is a party.

         2.5. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, ETC. The Company has furnished to the
Lenders and the Administrative Agent complete and correct copies of:

                  (a) the audited consolidated balance sheets of the Company and
         its consolidated subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998, and the related
         audited consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and
         cash flows of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries for the
         fiscal year then ended, accompanied by the unqualified report thereon
         of the Company's independent accountants; and

                  (b) the unaudited consolidated balance sheets of the Company
         and its consolidated subsidiaries as of September 30, 1999, and the
         related unaudited consolidated statements of income, stockholders'
         equity and cash flows of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries
         for the fiscal quarter or quarters then ended.

All such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP,
consistently applied (except as stated therein), and fairly present the
financial position of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the
respective dates indicated and the consolidated results of their operations and
cash flows for the respective periods indicated, subject in the case of any such
financial statements which are unaudited, to the absence of footnotes and to
normal audit adjustments which the Company reasonably believes will not involve
a Material Adverse Effect.

         2.6. RECENT FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS, ETC. The Company delivered or caused
to be delivered to the Lenders, on or about February 3, 2000, financial
projections prepared by management of the Company for the Company and its
Subsidiaries consisting of, among other things, a projected balance sheet,
income statement and cash flow statement for its fiscal years ended December 31,
1999 through December 31, 2003 (the "RECENT FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS"). The Recent
Financial Projections were prepared on behalf of the Company in good faith after
taking into account the existing and historical levels of business activity of
the Company and its Subsidiaries, trends known to the Company, including general
economic trends, and all other information, assumptions and estimates considered
by management of the Company and its Subsidiaries to be pertinent thereto. The
Recent Financial Projections were considered by management of the Company, as of
such date of preparation, to be realistically achievable; PROVIDED, that no
representation or warranty is made as to the impact of future general economic
conditions or as to whether the Company's projected consolidated results as set
forth in the Recent Financial Projections will actually be realized. No material
facts have become known to the Company subsequent to the date of preparation of
the Recent Financial Projections and prior to the date hereof which, if they had
been appropriately reflected in the Recent Financial Projections, would have
resulted in a material adverse change in the assets, liabilities, results of
operations or cash flows reflected therein.

         SECTION 3. RATIFICATIONS.

         Except as expressly modified and superseded by this Amendment, the
terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement are ratified and confirmed and
shall continue in full force and effect.
