              (a) Subject to the terms of the Second Purchase and Sale
Agreement, the LLC shall assume the Loans encumbering the Second Closing
Properties upon the occurrence of the Second Closing. The Members contemplate
that the Company may seek to arrange additional Loans with respect to the
Properties, provided, however, that the Company shall not arrange to obtain any
Loan which, in combination with the then outstanding Loans (including, without
limitation, the Loans encumbering the Second Closing Properties), would cause
the Debt Ratio to exceed fifty percent (50%) without the consent of each Member.

              (b) Subject to the foregoing and to the provisions of Section
8.4(a)(iii) hereof, the Members shall cooperate on behalf of the Company and use
their best efforts, in good faith, to obtain any Loans, and the Federal Member
shall have the right, subject to the reasonable approval of the Sunrise Member,
to principally negotiate the terms of the Loans so obtained by the Company.
Except with the consent of each Member, no Loan shall be accepted that would
prohibit or hinder the transfer of interests by a Member in the manner and at
the times contemplated by Section 8.2 or Section 8.4, and any Loan procured by
the Company shall be freely assumable, without the payment of any fee or cost
(other than customary legal fees, out of pocket costs and the like) by either
Member at any time, and shall be non-recourse to the Members (except with
respect to commercially customary non-recourse carveouts).

       Section 3.8 Failure to Contribute Capital. If any Member fails to make a
Contribution required under this Article III by the date such Contribution is
due and such failure continues until the later of (i) thirty (30) days after
written notice from the Member which has not failed to make its Contribution or
(ii) thirty (30) days after a decision is rendered in the arbitration
proceedings under Section 12.3 (assuming that arbitration had been initiated as
to such Contribution) (any such failing Member shall be a "Defaulting Member"
and the amount of the

                                      -17-
<PAGE>   22

failed contribution shall be the "Default Amount"), then the non-defaulting
Member shall have any one or more of the following remedies as its sole and
exclusive remedies at law or in equity in connection with the applicable
default; provided, however, that if the non-defaulting Member elects the remedy
set forth in Subsection (a), it shall not have the right to proceed under
Subsections (b) or (c) unless and until the Defaulting Member shall default in
the payment of any applicable Default Loan, and provided further that if the
non-Defaulting Member elects the remedy set forth in Subsection (e), it may not
elect the remedies set forth in Subsections (a), (b), (c) or (d) in connection
with the applicable default:

              (a) to advance to the Company on behalf of, and as a loan to the
Defaulting Member, an amount equal to the Default Amount to be evidenced by a
promissory note in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (each
such loan, a "Default Loan"). The Capital Account of the Defaulting Member shall
be credited with the amount of such Contribution and such amount shall
constitute a debt owed by the Defaulting Member to the non-defaulting Member.
Any Default Loan shall bear interest at the Default Rate and shall be payable
from any distributions due the Defaulting Member hereunder, but shall in all
events be payable in full by the last day of the twelfth (12th) full month after
the making of such promissory note. Interest on a Default Loan to the extent
unpaid shall accrue and compound monthly. A Default Loan shall be prepayable at
any time or from time to time without penalty. Such Default Loans shall be
secured solely by the Defaulting Member's interest in the Company, including,
without limitation, such Defaulting Member's rights to distributions under
Article V. Except as expressly provided herein, Default Loans (other than those
arising out of a failure to make a Contribution pursuant to Section 3.1 which
Default Loan shall be fully recourse), with interest as aforesaid, shall
otherwise be without recourse to any other assets of the Defaulting Member. The
Defaulting Member hereby grants a security interest in its interest in the
Company to the non-defaulting Member and the Defaulting Member hereby
irrevocably appoints the non-defaulting Member, and any of its respective
officers, as its attorney-in-fact coupled with an interest with full power to
prepare and execute any documents, instruments and agreements, including, but
not limited to, any note evidencing the Default Loan and such Uniform Commercial
Code Financing Statements, continuation statements, and other security
instruments as may be appropriate to perfect and continue its security interest
in favor of the non-defaulting Member. Any Contributions contributed by the
non-defaulting Member on behalf of a Defaulting Member shall be deemed to be
made by the Defaulting Member except as otherwise expressly provided herein. All
distributions to the Defaulting Member hereunder shall be applied first to
payment of any interest due under any Default Loan and then to principal until
all amounts due thereunder are paid in full;

              (b) The non-defaulting Member may elect by written notice, at
least sixty (60) days prior to the effective date of such election (within which
60-day period the Defaulting Member may cure its default), to the Defaulting
Member to acquire the Defaulting Member's entire interest in the Company for a
purchase price equal to the Defaulting member's Discounted Membership Value. The
term "the Defaulting Member's Discounted Membership Value" shall mean ninety
percent (90%) of the Appraised Fair Market Value of the Defaulting Member's
Interest (determined pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 8.2) as of
the date of exercise of this remedy. Each Member acknowledges that in the
circumstance of a default by the Defaulting Member, the Defaulting Member's
Discounted Membership Value is not intended to be a penalty to the Defaulting
Member, but rather a recognition that the Defaulting Member

                                      -18-
<PAGE>   23

holds an illiquid interest in the Company which factors have been taken into
account solely for purposes of valuing its interest in the Company under the
circumstances of this Section 3.8. The closing of such acquisition shall be in
accordance with the provisions of Section 8.4.4, except that the closing shall
be on a date designated by notice to the Defaulting Member, which date shall be
no later than sixty (60) days after the date of the exercise of such option by
the non-defaulting Member, unless on that date the Discounted Membership Value
has not been finally determined, in which event such closing date shall not be
later than ten (10) days after such amount is determined. The non-defaulting
Member shall have the right to offset against the purchase price due the
Defaulting Member, any amount outstanding under any Default Loan;

              (c) to advance to the Company as an additional Contribution the
Default Amount whereupon the Proportionate Shares of the Members shall be
recalculated as provided in its subparagraph (c). After the exercise of a
Member's rights under this subparagraph (c), (a) the Proportionate Share of the
non-Defaulting Member shall equal a fraction (expressed as a percentage, but not
to exceed 100%), the numerator of which shall equal the aggregate sum of (w) the
aggregate amount of all Capital Call Shortfalls contributed by the
non-Defaulting Member since the inception of the LLC times two (2) plus (x) the
amount of Capital Contributions made by such Member under this Agreement, and
the denominator of which shall equal the aggregate sum of (y) the Capital Call
Shortfalls plus (z) the amount of all other Capital Contributions made by the
Members under this Agreement, and (b) the Proportionate Share of the Defaulting
Member shall be adjusted to equal one hundred percent (100%) minus the adjusted
Proportionate Share of the non-Defaulting Member;

              (d) if the Defaulting Member (i) fails to make a Contribution
pursuant to Section 3.1 by the date such Contribution is due and such failure
continues for ten (10) Business Days after written notice from the Member which
had not failed to make its Contribution or (ii) shall have previously defaulted
(after any applicable cure periods) on its obligation to contribute Capital to
the Company pursuant to Section 3.2 on one or more occasions, notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Agreement and without waiving the right to invoke
the provisions of this subparagraph (d) by failing to exercise the remedy herein
in any instance, to elect to treat such default as an Event of Default under
Article XI of this Agreement; or

              (e) to revoke the Funding Notice for both Members, whereupon any
Contributions paid by the non-defaulting Member pursuant to such Funding Notice
shall be returned, in which event the Sunrise Member or the Federal Member, as
the case may be, shall reconsider the needs of the Company for Additional
Capital and may issue any Funding Notice following such reconsideration.

       Section 3.9 Loss of Voting Power and Control by Defaulting Member. If a
Member becomes a Defaulting Member pursuant to Section 3.8 above, then that
Defaulting Member shall forfeit its right to actively participate in the
direction, vote, and control of the Company until such time that the Defaulting
Member cures such default, including, without limitation the repayment in full
of any Default Loan; the non-defaulting Member shall have the full right, power
and authority to make all decisions and take any and all actions on behalf of
the Company; and all actions of the non-defaulting Member taken on behalf of the
Company during the period of such default shall be binding upon the Company and
for all purposes be deemed to have been undertaken with the full consent and
approval of the Defaulting Member; provided,

                                      -19-

<PAGE>   24

however, that (A) the right of the Sunrise Member to actively participate as
aforesaid, or (B) the necessity for the consent of the Federal Member as to all
Major Decisions shall continue, so long as (i) either Member is contesting the
alleged default pursuant to arbitration proceeding under Section 12.3 hereof,
and (ii) either the alleged Defaulting Member prevails in such arbitration
proceeding, or, if such Member does not prevail in such arbitration proceeding,
such Member cures the applicable default in accordance with the decision of the
arbitrator(s) under the arbitration proceeding; and, provided, further however,
that under no circumstance shall one Member have any authority, without the
written consent of the other Member, to cause the Company to sell, transfer or
convey all, or substantially all, of the assets of the Company, acquire
additional properties, to engage in any material improvements of any Property
(other than pursuant to an Approved Budget which has been approved by both
Members or Preservation Costs), to incur on behalf of the Company any financing
which includes any recourse obligations of the other Member, to engage in any
transaction with any Related Party of the Member other than on arm's-length
terms and as required under Sections 6.6.11 and 6.6.12, to obtain insurance
other than on terms and with coverages as are approved by the Federal Member, or
to amend this Agreement, nor shall the Federal Member forfeit any of its rights
under Article IV, Article V (as to the right to receive distributions) Article
VIII, or its rights to receive reports and obtain information pursuant to
Article IX or any other provision of this agreement, or its rights under Section
12.14.

       Section 3.10 Third Party Loans. In the event that the Company requires
additional funds to carry out its purposes, to conduct its business, or to meet
its obligations, or to make any expenditure authorized by this Agreement, the
Company may borrow funds from such third party lender(s), and on such terms and
conditions as may be acceptable to the Federal Member, subject to the prior
written consent of the Sunrise Member, not to be unreasonably withheld.

       Section 3.11 Voluntary Loans. If the Company requires additional funds to
carry out its purposes, to conduct its business, to meet its obligations, or to
make any expenditure authorized by this Agreement, and additional funds are not
available from third parties pursuant to Section 3.10 on terms more favorable to
the Company than those set forth in the following sentence, either Member may,
but shall not be obligated to, loan such funds to the Company. Any loan made
pursuant to this Section 3.11 (a "Voluntary Loan") shall be non-recourse to the
Members, shall be evidenced by a promissory note, shall be unsecured, shall not
violate the Company's other loan or contractual arrangements, shall bear
interest, compounded monthly, at a rate of interest equal to the lesser of (a)
the greater of (i) twelve percent (12%) per annum and (ii) the Prime Rate plus
3% per annum or (b) the highest rate permitted by law, shall be repaid out of
the first funds available therefor and in any event prior to any distribution to
any Member of Distributable Cash or Capital Proceeds, and shall become due and
payable in full not more than five years after the date such loan is made. If
both Members desire to make Voluntary Loans to satisfy any requirement of the
Company for additional funds, the Members shall make such Voluntary Loans in
accordance with their respective Proportionate Shares, unless otherwise agreed
to by the Members.

                   ARTICLE IV - CAPITAL ACCOUNTS, ALLOCATIONS
                               OF INCOME AND LOSS

       Section 4.1 Capital Accounts. A separate capital account (each a "Capital
Account") shall be maintained for each Member in accordance with the rules of
Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). To the extent consistent with
such Treasury Regulations, the adjustments to such accounts shall include the
following:

              (a) There shall be credited to each Member's Capital Account the
amount of any cash actually contributed by such Member to the capital of the
Company, the fair market value of any property contributed by such Member to the
capital of Company, the amount of liabilities of the Company assumed by the
Member or to which property distributed to the Member was subject and such
Member's share of the Net Profits of the Company and of any items in the nature
of income or gain separately allocated to the Members; and there shall be
charged against each Member's Capital Account the amount of all cash
distributions to such Member, the fair market value of any property distributed
to such Member by the Company, the amount of liabilities of the Member assumed
by the Company or to which property contributed by the Member to the Company was
subject and such Member's share of the Net Losses of the Company and of any
items in the nature of losses or deductions separately allocated to the Members.

              (b) In the event any interest in the Company is transferred in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the transferee shall succeed to the
Capital Account of the transferor to the extent it relates to the transferred
interest.

       Section 4.2 Allocation of Net Profits. Subject to Sections 4.5 through
4.8, Net Profits for any fiscal year or portion thereof shall be allocated among
the Members, pro rata, in accordance with their Proportionate Shares.

       Section 4.3 Allocation of Net Losses. Subject to Sections 4.4 through
4.8, Net Losses for any fiscal year or portion thereof shall be allocated among
the Members in accordance with their Proportionate Shares.

       Section 4.4 Loss Limitation. Net Losses allocated pursuant to Section 4.3
shall not exceed the maximum amount of Net Losses that can be allocated without
causing or increasing a deficit balance in a Member's Adjusted Capital Account.
A Member's "Adjusted Capital Account" balance shall mean such Member's Capital
Account balance increased by such Member's obligation to restore a deficit
balance in its Capital Account, including any deemed obligation pursuant to the
penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(1) and
1.704-2(i)(5), and decreased by the amounts described in Treasury Regulations
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), or (6). In the event that one but not both
of the Members would have a deficit balance in its Adjusted Capital Account as a
consequence of an allocation of Net Losses pursuant to Section 4.3 in excess of
the amount, if any, permitted under the first sentence of this Section 4.4, the
limitation set forth in this Section 4.4 shall be applied by allocating 100% of
the remaining Net Losses to the other Member until the Adjusted Capital Account
of such other Member is zero.

                                      -21-

       Section 4.5 Minimum Gain Chargebacks and Nonrecourse Deductions.

              (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, in the
event there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during a fiscal year, the
Members shall be allocated items of income and gain (computed with the
adjustments set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the definition of "Net
Profits" and "Net Losses") in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section
1.704-2(f). For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Company Minimum Gain"
shall mean "partnership minimum gain" as set forth in Treasury Regulations
Section 1.704-2(b)(2), and any Member's share of Company Minimum Gain shall be
determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(1). This
Section 4.5(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain charge-back
requirement of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted
and applied in a manner consistent therewith.

              (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
"nonrecourse deductions" (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section
1.704-2(b)(1) shall be allocated to the Members, pari passu, in proportion to
their Proportionate Shares.

              (c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, to the
extent required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-(i)), any items of income,
gain, loss or deduction of the Company (computed with the adjustments as set
forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) of the definitions of "Net Profits"
and "Net Losses") that are attributable to a nonrecourse debt of the Company
that constitutes "partner nonrecourse debt" as defined in Treasury Regulations
Section 1.704-2(b)(4) (including chargebacks of partner nonrecourse debt minimum
gain) shall be allocated in accordance with the provisions of Treasury
Regulations Section 1.704-2(i). This Section 4.5(c) is intended to satisfy the
requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i) (including the partner
nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback requirements) and shall be interpreted
and applied in a manner consistent therewith.

       Section 4.6 Qualified Income Offset. Any Member who unexpectedly receives
an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulations
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) that causes a deficit balance in its
Capital Account (in excess of any deemed deficit restoration obligation pursuant
to Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and (i)(5), and adjusted as
provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)) shall be
allocated items of income and gain (computed with the adjustments set forth in
clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the definition of "Net Profits" and "Net Losses")
in an amount and a manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the
Treasury Regulations, such deficit balance as quickly as possible. This Section
4.6 is intended to comply with the alternate test for economic effect set forth
in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted
and applied in a manner consistent therewith.

       Section 4.7 Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Sections
4.4, 4.5 and 4.6 (the "Regulatory Allocations") are intended to comply with the
requirements of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article IV (other than the
Regulatory Allocations), the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account
as provided for in the following two sentences. Income, gain, loss and deduction
shall be reallocated to the extent that such reallocation causes the net
aggregate amount of allocations of income, gain, deduction and loss to each
Member to be equal to or more closely approximate

                                      -22-
<PAGE>   27

the net aggregate amount of such items that would have been allocated to each
such Member if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred; provided, however,
that such reallocations shall be made only if and to the extent they are
consistent with the requirements of Code Section 514(c)(9)(E) and Treasury
Regulations Section 1.514(c)-2. This Section 4.7 shall be interpreted and
applied in such a manner and to such extent as is reasonably necessary to
eliminate, as quickly as possible but consistent with the requirements of Code
Section 514(c)(9)(E), permanent economic distortions that would otherwise occur
as a consequence of the Regulatory Allocations in the absence of this Section
4.7. To the extent regulations promulgated pursuant to Section 704(c) of the
Code permit a Partnership to utilize alternative methods to eliminate the
disparities between the book value (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g)) of the property and its adjusted basis, the
Federal Member shall, subject to the following, have the authority to elect the
method to be used by the Company and such election shall be binding on all
Members. With respect to any property transferred to the Company as a
Contribution, the Company shall elect to use the "traditional method" set forth
in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(b).

       Section 4.8 Special Income Allocation. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Article IV (except Sections 4.4 through 4.6 and Section 4.9),
in the year in which the Company liquidates (within the meaning of Treasury
Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g)), items of gross income, gain, loss or
deduction (computed with the adjustments set forth in clauses (i) through (vii)
of the definition of "Net Profits" and "Net Losses") shall be allocated to the
Manager and the Federal Member in the manner and to the extent necessary to
cause the aggregate amount of net distributions under Article V with respect to
each Member to be equal to or more closely approximate the aggregate net
distributions that each such Member would have received pursuant to Article V if
this Agreement did not contain Section 5.5.

       Section 4.9 Code Section 704(b) and 514(c)(9)(E) Allocations. The
allocation provisions contained in this Article IV are intended to comply with
Code Section 704(b) and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and
shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent therewith. Further, it
is the intention of the Members that this Agreement provide for allocations to
comply with the requirements of Code Section 514(c)(9)(E) and the Treasury
Regulations promulgated thereunder, and the Members agree that any provision of
this Article IV that is reasonably subject to different interpretations shall be
interpreted in a manner that comports with the foregoing intention.

       Section 4.10 Distributions of Nonrecourse Liability Proceeds. If, during
a fiscal year, the Company makes a distribution to any Member that is allocable
to the proceeds of any nonrecourse liability of the Company that is allocable to
an increase in Company Minimum Gain pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section
1.704-2(h), then the Company shall elect, to the extent permitted by Treasury
Regulations Section 1.704-2(h)(3), to treat such distribution as a distribution
that is not allocable to an increase in Company Minimum Gain.

       Section 4.11 Certain Guaranteed Payments. The amounts of any Priority
Guaranteed Payments (including the amount of any Unpaid Priority Guaranteed
Payments) paid or accrued with respect to the Unreturned Contributions of a
Member shall be considered to be "guaranteed payments" within the meaning of
Code Section 707(c). In the event that the Company otherwise would be entitled
to deduct the amount of any Priority Guaranteed Payment or Unpaid Priority

                                      -23-
<PAGE>   28
Guaranteed Payment payable to a Member prior to the taxable year in which such
amount is paid to the Member pursuant to Section 5.2 or 5.3, the Company shall
elect pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.514(c)-2(d)(6)(ii) (or
applicable successor provision) to postpone such deduction until the year in
which the payment is actually made. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the
amount of any Unpaid Priority Guaranteed Payment that accrued for a year and
that is paid to the Member entitled thereto on or before the due date (without
regard to extensions) for the Company's federal income tax return for such year
shall be treated as paid during such year.

       Section 4.12 Other Allocation Provisions. Any elections or other
decisions relating to the allocations of Company items of income, gain, loss,
deduction or credit shall be made by the Federal Member in any manner that
reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement.

       Section 4.13 No Deficit Restoration to Members. No Member shall be
required to contribute capital to the Company to restore a deficit balance in
its Capital Account upon liquidation or otherwise.

                            ARTICLE V - DISTRIBUTIONS

       Section 5.1 General Provisions.

              5.1.1 General. The Manager shall cause all Distributable Cash held
by the Company to be distributed to the Members.

              5.1.2 Prohibited Distributions. Notwithstanding any provision of
this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not make any distributions
prohibited by the terms of the Act.

              Section 5.2 Distributions of Distributable Cash.

              5.2.1 General. Subject to the provisions of Sections 5.2.2, 5.3,
5.4 and 5.5, within twenty-five (25) days after the end of each calendar
quarter, the Manager shall distribute Distributable Cash with respect to such
calendar quarter to the Members, subject to any adjustments made pursuant to
Section 3.8 or Section 3.11, as follows:

              (a) First, to the Federal Member in the amount, if any, of its
then Unpaid Priority Guaranteed Payment;

              (b) Second, to the Federal Member in the amount, if any, of its
Priority Guaranteed Payment for the fiscal year with respect to which the
distribution is made;

              (c) Third, to the Sunrise Member in the amount, if any, of its
then Unpaid Priority Guaranteed Payment;

              (d) Fourth, to the Sunrise Member in the amount, if any, of its
Priority Guaranteed Payment for the fiscal year with respect to which the
distribution is made; and

                                      -24-
<PAGE>   29

              (e) The balance, if any, to the Members in accordance with their
respective Proportionate Shares.

Should any adjustments have been made pursuant to Section 3.8 herein,
Distributable Cash with respect to such Calendar Year shall be divided by 365 to
arrive at the "Average Distributable Cash per Day." Said amount shall then be
allocated between the Members in proportion to their Proportionate Shares for
each day of the Calendar Year to arrive at, for each Member, the "Member's Share
of Daily Distributable Cash." Each Member's share of Distributable Cash for the
Calendar Year shall equal the sum of the Member's Shares of Daily Distributable
Cash for all days during the Calendar Year.

              5.2.2 Monthly Estimated Distributions. Without limiting the
provisions of Section 5.2.1, within fifteen (15) days after the end of each of
the first two (2) calendar months in each calendar quarter, the Manager shall
distribute Distributable Cash with respect to such calendar month to the
Members, based upon the Manager's good faith estimate of the distributions that
would be made to each Member if the distributions under Section 5.2.1 were
required to be made monthly rather than quarterly. Within fifteen (15) days
after the third calendar month in each calendar quarter, the Manager shall
reconcile the estimated distributions made for the preceding calendar months
with the actual distributions due to the Members for the calendar quarter and
shall adjust distributions due to the Members as necessary to comply with the
provisions of Section 5.2.1 for such calendar quarter. The Members hereby agree
to return such distributions made to the Members as may be necessary to achieve
such reconciliation within ten (10) days after written demand by the Manager,
provided that such demand is accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation.

       Section 5.3 Distributions From Capital Transactions.

              5.3.1 General. Subject to the provisions of Sections 5.2, 5.4 and
5.5, as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within thirty (30)
days) after the closing of any Capital Transaction, the Manager shall distribute
the proceeds of such Capital Transaction to the Members as follows, after paying
all usual and customary closing costs in connection with the applicable Capital
Transaction and satisfying any outstanding Loans with respect to the Properties
to which the Capital Transaction applied:

              (a) First, to the Federal Member in the amount, if any, of its
then Unpaid Priority Guaranteed Payment;

              (b) Second, to the Federal Member in the amount, if any, of its
Priority Guaranteed Payment for the fiscal year with respect to which the
distribution is made;

              (c) Third, to the Federal Member until the amount of its
Unreturned Contributions is reduced to zero;

              (d) Fourth, to the Sunrise Member in the amount, if any, of its
then Unpaid Priority Guaranteed Payment;

              (e) Fifth, to the Sunrise Member in the amount, if any, of its
Priority Guaranteed Payment for the fiscal year with respect to which the
distribution is made;

                                      -25-
<PAGE>   30

              (f) Sixth, to the Sunrise Member until the amount of its

       Section 5.5 Distributions Upon Liquidations. In the event the Company (or
a Member's interest therein) is "liquidated" within the meaning of Treasury
Regulations Section 1.7041(b)(2)(ii)(g), then, after any payments of guaranteed

distributions shall be made pursuant to this Section 5.5 to the Members (or such
Member, as appropriate), in accordance with their positive Capital Account

                         ARTICLE VI - POWERS AND DUTIES

the Manager shall be the manager of the Company and in such capacity shall have
full responsibility and exclusive and complete discretion in the management and

stated, shall make all decisions affecting the Company's affairs and business,
and shall have full, complete and exclusive discretion to take any and all
action that the Company is authorized to take and to make all decisions with

the Company, and each Subsidiary in such detail as the Federal Member may
reasonably request, but in any event, containing budgets for the Company, and
each Subsidiary and in any event containing a market analysis, a general outlook
for each investment, capital expenditures and marketing expenses. Any business
plan submitted to and approved by the Federal Member shall be an "Annual
Business Plan." Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Annual Business Plan for the

business plan for any calendar year has been approved by the Federal Member, the
Annual Business Plan for the preceding calendar year shall apply to such
calendar year. The Manager

       Section 6.3 Implementation of Annual Business Plan. The Manager shall,
subject to the availability of Company revenues and other cash flow, implement
the then applicable Annual Business Plan and shall have the authority, together
with the obligation and responsibility, to manage the Company's business in
accordance therewith. In performing its duties under this Section 6.3, the
Manager shall have the power and authority to act alone, and in the name and on
behalf of the Company, including the power to execute for and on behalf of the
Company any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary to carry on
the business of the Company, in connection with the affairs of the Company. The
prior approval of the Federal Member shall be required to implement Major
Decisions described on Exhibit F. Such approval may be evidenced by the Federal
Member's approval of the Annual Business Plan, to the extent it includes
specific Major Decisions.

       Section 6.4 Authority of Manager. Subject to Section 6.5, the powers and
duties of the Manager shall include, but are not limited to, the following:

              (a) To collect, on a diligent and timely basis, all rents,
interest, issues, dividends, income, profits and properties of every nature due
to the Company or any Subsidiary and to hold or make timely distributions
thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

              (b) To invest and reinvest cash of the Company or any Subsidiary
in one or more interest bearing demand deposit accounts or other interest
bearing accounts, which accounts are solely the property of the Company or such
Subsidiary, with any state or national bank, provided that the deposits
maintained in such accounts are fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation, or invested in United States government securities, repurchase
agreements secured by obligations of the United States or its agencies, or other
investments and securities issued or fully guaranteed by the United States or
its agencies, with average maturities of, or redeemable in, not greater than 180
days, provided, however, that Company and Subsidiary funds shall not be
deposited in commingled accounts;

              (c) To maintain a program of insurance coverage for the Company
and its Subsidiaries, which shall be with insurance companies and coverages and
amounts and otherwise in form and substance as agreed upon, in writing, by the
Members (the "Insurance Program"). Until the first (1st) anniversary of the date
of this Agreement, the coverages required to be obtained and maintained under
the Insurance Program shall include the requirements set forth on Exhibit E
attached hereto. Thereafter commencing on the next occurrence of the review and
approval process for the Annual Business Plan and continuing annually during the
term of this Agreement, the Insurance Program shall be reviewed by the Members
in consultation with each other. During the annual insurance review process, the
Federal Member may propose an alternative Insurance Program for approval, and if
adopting such proposed Insurance Program would result in a five (5%) percent or
more savings on the premiums that would be due for the following year under the
Insurance Program then in place or proposed by Manager, assuming the Federal
Member's Insurance Program is for the same coverages in types, amounts and with
companies of equal or better ratings, then the Federal Member's Insurance
Program shall be deemed approved by the Members and constitute the Insurance
Program. The Federal Member and Manager shall each be provided with certificates
of insurance prior to each closing of an acquisition of a Property by the
Company or a Subsidiary and whenever the insurance is renewed, modified or
replaced.

                                      -28-
<PAGE>   33

              (d) To pay out of the assets of the Company or the applicable
Subsidiary the taxes, premiums for liability insurance, casualty insurance (at
replacement cost) and other expenses generally associated with the ownership of
real estate assets, as approved in the Annual Business Plan or otherwise by the
Federal Member.

              (e) To establish one or more corporations, partnerships, trust or
limited liability companies wholly-owned by the Company which corporations,
partnerships, trusts or limited liability companies are either exempt from
taxation under Section 501(c)(2) or Section 501(c)(25) of the Code, treated for
federal income tax purposes as a so-called "pass through" entities or
disregarded for federal income tax purposes. Any such corporation, partnership,
trust or limited liability company shall be organized for the exclusive purpose
of facilitating transactions contemplated by this Agreement, such as holding
title to Property for the Company;

              (f) To make distributions, in accordance with Article V, of cash
assets and liquidation proceeds and proceeds from the sale, exchange or
disposition of any and all property acquired;

              (g) To make, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all
documents of transfer and conveyance and any and all other instruments that may
be necessary or appropriate to carry out the powers herein granted.

       Section 6.5 Approval Rights of Federal Member. Notwithstanding any
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Manager shall not, in the
exercise of its general control and decision-making authority as more
particularly described in this Article VI, take or cause the Company or any
Subsidiary to take any of the actions described in Exhibit F (each, a "Major
Decision"), without in each instance first obtaining the prior written consent
of the Federal Member (which approval may be granted as to such specific
instances in approving an Annual Business Plan) or take any other action which
contravenes any consent or approval of a Major Decision granted by the Federal
Member pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

       Section 6.6 Other Business Activities of the Members.

              6.6.1 General Provisions. Except as set forth herein, neither the
Members nor any Related Parties of the Members shall be obligated to present any
investment opportunity to the Company, even if the opportunity is of a character
consistent with the Company's other activities and interests. Except as set
forth herein, the Members and the Members' Related Parties may engage in or
possess any interest, directly or indirectly, in any other business venture of
any nature or description independently or with others, including but not
limited to, the ownership, financing, leasing, operation, management,
syndication, brokerage, or development of real property competitive with the
Properties. Except as set forth herein, membership in the Company and the
assumption by either Member of any duties hereunder shall be without prejudice
to such Member's rights (or the rights of its affiliates) to have such other
interests and activities and to receive and enjoy profits or compensation
therefrom, and neither the Company nor the other Member(s) shall have any right
by virtue of this Agreement in and to such ventures or the income or profits
derived therefrom.

              6.6.2 Option to Purchase. The Sunrise Member, on behalf of itself
and its Related Parties, hereby grants the LLC the option to purchase (the
"Option to Purchase") the Oakland Hills Property, the Buffalo Grove Property and
the Smithtown Property upon the following terms and conditions:

              (a) Upon the earlier of (i) the date which is twenty-five days
after the date of Stabilization of the Oakland Hills Property, the Buffalo Grove
Property and the Smithtown Property, or (ii) March 31, 2001, the Sunrise Member
shall give the Federal Member a Notice of Opportunity which shall (A) state the
Net Operating Income for each such Property and provide all relevant data
relating thereto for the quarter and the preceding twelve (12) month period, and
(B) attach a summary of the Preliminary Information concerning such Properties.
The LLC shall have the right to review the Preliminary Information, complete
copies of which shall be made available at the Sunrise Member's main office
during the Review Period. Without limiting the foregoing, on or before the
fifteenth (15th) day of each month between the date hereof and the date of
delivery of the Notice of Opportunity, the Sunrise Member shall deliver a report
to the Federal Member stating the occupancy rate and Net Operating Income of
each such Property for the preceding calendar month and the preceding twelve
(12) calendar months. With respect to the Oakland Hills Property, Net Operating
Income will take into account (x) the planned conversion of nineteen (19)
assisted living units into eighteen (18) Alzheimer's units (the "Oakland Hills
Conversion") and the revenue reasonably anticipated therefrom, and (y) a
projection of community fees consistent with other Stabilized Properties owned
by the Company or its Subsidiaries. The Oakland Hills Property will not be
considered "Stabilized" in any event until after the Oakland Hills Conversion
has been completed.

              (b) The LLC shall have the right to exercise its Option to
Purchase two (2) or more of the Oakland Hills Property, the Buffalo Grove
Property and/or the Smithtown Property by notice given to the Sunrise Member on
or before the expiration of the Review Period; provided, however, that if the
LLC shall fail to give notice of its election to exercise the Option to Purchase
with respect to at least two (2) of the Properties on or before the expiration
of the Review Period, then the LLC shall be deemed to have waived its rights
with respect to the Option to Purchase as to all three (3) Properties.

              (c) Within fifteen (15) days after the exercise (if any) of the
Option to Purchase, the Company and Sunrise shall enter into a Purchase and Sale
Agreement in the form of the Standard Purchase and Sale Agreement, provided that
(i) the closing date for the Conveyance of the applicable Properties for which
the Option to Purchase was exercised shall be the date which is ninety (90) days
after the date of exercise by the LLC of its Option to Purchase, and (ii) no
earnest money shall be required to be deposited by the LLC.

              (d) The purchase price to be paid for each Property for which the
LLC exercises its Option to Purchase shall determined as follows:

                  (i)    if the applicable Property has achieved Stabilization
                         as of the date of the Notice of Opportunity, the
                         Purchase Price shall be equal to the Stabilized
                         Value of the Property; and

                                      -30-
<PAGE>   35

                  (ii)    if the applicable Property has not achieved
                          Stabilization as of the date of the Notice of
                          Opportunity, then the Review Period under Section
                          6.6.2 (b) shall be extended by twenty-one (21) days
                          and the purchase price for the Property shall be an
                          amount reasonably acceptable to the Federal Member
                          and the Sunrise Member pursuant to good faith
                          negotiation conducted during the Review Period, as
                          so extended; provided, however, that if that the
                          parties are unable to agree upon the purchase price
                          during such Review Period, then, at the Federal
                          Member's option, the purchase price for such
                          Property shall be deemed to be equal to (A) the Net
                          Operating Income that would be reasonably expected
                          to be generated if the Property had an average
                          occupancy of ninety-three (93%) percent of its total
                          occupancy for the calendar quarter in which the
                          Notice of Opportunity was delivered, as reasonably
                          extrapolated by the Federal Member, (B) multiplied
                          by four (4), and (C) divided by the Cap Rate; and
                          provided further, however, that with respect to the
                          Oakland Hills Property, the Net Operating Income as
                          so extrapolated under the foregoing clause (A) will
                          assume that the Oakland Hills Conversion has been
                          completed and that the Oakland Hills Property
                          generates community fees consistent with other
                          Stabilized Properties owned by the Company or its
                          Subsidiaries.

              (e) Subject to the provisions of Section 6.6.13 hereof, all
Pursuit Costs incurred by the Federal Member or the LLC with respect to the
Oakland Hills Property, the Buffalo Grove Property and/or the Smithtown Property
shall be paid by the LLC, whether or not the LLC exercises its Option to
Purchase any of said Properties as set forth herein. If the LLC enters into a
Purchase and Sale Agreement with respect to any of said Properties and the
Federal Member causes the LLC to elect to proceed thereunder after any
applicable Study Period therein, and thereafter the LLC fails to close due to a
default by the Federal Member, the Pursuit Costs shall be reimbursed to the LLC
by the Federal Member (to the extent same were previously reimbursed by the LLC
to the Federal Member), and the same shall not be a Contribution hereunder or
credited to the Federal Member's Capital Account, but shall be distributed to
the Members in accordance with their Proportionate Shares.

              (f) The Sunrise Member shall not Convey or enter into any
Agreement to Convey, and shall not permit any of its Related Parties to Convey
or enter into any Agreement to Convey, the Oakland Hills Property, the Buffalo
Grove Property or the Smithtown Property unless and until Sunrise has complied
with the terms and provisions of the Option to Purchase under this Section 6.6.2
and the Federal Member has either waived or been deemed to have waived its
rights thereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, if the LLC waives (or is
deemed to

                                      -31-
<PAGE>   36

have waived) its rights under the Option to Purchase with respect to one or more
of the Properties, the rights of the LLC under Section 6.6.3 and Section 6.6.4
shall continue to apply with respect to such Property or Properties.

              6.6.3 Right of First Opportunity With Respect to Sunrise
Stabilized Properties. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, during the Investment Period, the Sunrise Member shall not Convey or
enter into any Agreement to Convey, and shall not permit any of its Related
Parties to Convey or to enter into any Agreement to Convey any Sunrise
Stabilized Property (or any direct or indirect [excluding sales of shares in the
Sunrise Member's parent company so long as same is publicly traded] beneficial
interest therein) unless Sunrise shall have provided an opportunity to the LLC
to purchase the Sunrise Stabilized Property upon the following terms and
conditions:

              (a) Before Sunrise Conveys any Sunrise Stabilized Property during
the Investment Period, the Sunrise Member shall give a Notice of Opportunity to
the Federal Member which shall (i) describe the Sunrise Stabilized Property;
(ii) state the Net Operating Income for the applicable Sunrise Stabilized
Property and provide all relevant data relating thereto for the preceding
calendar quarter and the preceding twelve (12) month period; and (iii) attach a
summary of the Preliminary Information concerning the applicable Sunrise
Stabilized Property in the Sunrise Member's possession or control. The Company
shall have the Review Period to review the information (complete copies of which
shall be made available at the Sunrise Member's main office) and to give to
Sunrise the Offer Price at which the Federal Member would propose that the
Company buy such Sunrise Stabilized Property. The failure to provide an Offer
Price prior to the end of the Review Period shall constitute a binding election
not to purchase the Property. Sunrise shall have the right (but not the
obligation) to sell the applicable Sunrise Stabilized Property to the Company
for the Offer Price by notice given to the Federal Member by the Sunrise Member
within twenty-one (21) days after the Federal Member's delivery of the Offer
Price. Within fifteen (15) days after the exercise of any such option to sell,
the Company and Sunrise shall enter into a Purchase and Sale Agreement in the
form of the Standard Purchase and Sale Agreement, provided that (A) the closing
date for the Conveyance of the applicable Sunrise Stabilized Property shall be
ninety (90) days after the date of Sunrise's exercise of its option to sell, and
(B) the earnest money deposit shall be three percent (3%) of the Offer Price of
the applicable Sunrise Stabilized Property (which deposit shall be delivered
separately by the Federal Member and shall not be deemed a Contribution until
the applicable Sunrise Stabilized Property is conveyed). Without limiting the
provisions of the Standard Purchase and Sale Agreement, if the closing under the
Purchase and Sale Agreement for any applicable Sunrise Stabilized Property shall
fail to occur due to a default by the Company, the rights of the Company to
purchase such Sunrise Stabilized Property under this Section 6.6.3 shall be
deemed to be waived permanently (but such rights shall continue to apply with
respect to all other Sunrise Stabilized Properties).

              (b) If the Federal Member shall fail to give notice of its
election to purchase, accompanied by the Offer Price with respect to any Sunrise
Stabilized Property within the Review Period, or if Sunrise shall not accept the
Offer Price proposed by the Federal Member within the Review Period with respect
to any applicable Sunrise Stabilized Property, then Sunrise shall have the right
to Convey the applicable Sunrise Stabilized Property to any person or entity at
any time during the eighteen (18) month period after the Review Period for a
Price

                                      -32-

<PAGE>   37

which is not less than ninety-three percent (93%) of the Offer Price of the
applicable Sunrise Stabilized Property and upon terms that are otherwise not
materially more favorable to the applicable purchaser than the terms set forth
in the Standard Purchase and Sale Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
(i) the closing with respect to the Conveyance of the applicable Sunrise
Stabilized Property has not occurred within said eighteen (18) month period,
then, before Sunrise may convey the applicable Sunrise Stabilized Property, the
Sunrise Member shall give the LLC another opportunity to purchase the Sunrise
Stabilized Property in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.6.3(a) above,
except that the Review Period shall be seven (7) days for any such subsequent
opportunity (it being understood and agreed that the provisions of this Section
6.6.3(b) shall also apply with respect to each such subsequent opportunity), or
(ii) during said eighteen (18) month period Sunrise agrees to Convey the Sunrise
Stabilized Property to any other person or entity for a Price which is less than
ninety-three percent (93%) of the Offer Price of the Sunrise Stabilized Property
or upon terms that are otherwise materially more favorable to the proposed
transferee than the terms set forth in the Standard Purchase and Sale Agreement,
then Sunrise shall not thereafter Convey the Sunrise Stabilized Property without
again offering to Convey the Sunrise Stabilized Property to the LLC in
accordance with the provisions of Section 6.6.3(a) above, except that (A) the
Offer Price shall be the reduced Price offered to (or by) the third party, (B)
the Review Period shall be seven (7) days for any such subsequent opportunity
(it being understood and agreed that the provisions of this Section 6.6.3(b)
shall also apply with respect to each such subsequent opportunity) and (C)
Sunrise shall be obligated to convey the Sunrise Stabilized Property to the LLC
if the LLC gives notice within the Review Period that it accepts such reduced
Price.

              (c) Subject to the provisions of Section 6.6.13 hereof, all
Pursuit Costs incurred by the Federal Member or the LLC with respect to any
Sunrise Stabilized Opportunity for which a Notice of Opportunity is given by the
Sunrise Member shall be paid by the LLC, whether or not the LLC shall exercise
its right to purchase same as set forth herein. If the LLC enters into a
Purchase and Sale Agreement and the Federal Member causes the LLC to elect to
proceed thereunder after any applicable Study Period therein, and thereafter the
LLC fails to close due to a default by the Federal Member, the Pursuit Costs and
earnest money deposit shall be reimbursed to the LLC by the Federal Member (to
the extent same were previously reimbursed to the Federal Member by the LLC),
and the same shall not be a Contribution hereunder nor be credited to the
Federal Member's Capital Account, but shall be distributed to the Members in
accordance with their Proportionate Shares.

              6.6.4 Right of First Refusal With Respect to Sunrise
Pre-Stabilized Properties. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to
the contrary, during the Investment Period, Sunrise shall not Convey or enter
into any Agreement to Convey, any Sunrise Pre-Stabilized Property (or any direct
or indirect [excluding shares of stock in the Sunrise Member's parent company so
long as same is publicly traded] beneficial interest therein) unless the Sunrise
Member shall have provided an opportunity to the LLC to purchase the Sunrise
Pre-Stabilized Property upon the following terms and conditions:

              (a) Before Sunrise accepts any Bona Fide Offer to Convey any
Sunrise Pre-Stabilized Property (or any direct or indirect beneficial interest
therein), the Sunrise Member shall give a Notice of Opportunity to the Federal
Member which shall (i) describe the Sunrise Pre-Stabilized Property; (ii) attach
a true, correct and complete copy of the Bona Fide Offer, and

                                      -33-
<PAGE>   38

(iii) attach a summary of the Preliminary Information concerning the applicable
Sunrise Pre-Stabilized Property in the Sunrise Member's possession or control.
The LLC shall have the right to elect to purchase the applicable Sunrise
Pre-Stabilized Property (or the applicable direct or indirect beneficial
interest therein, as the case may be) for a Price equal to the Price set forth
in the Bona Fide Offer by notice given by the Federal Member to the Sunrise
Member within the Review Period. Within fifteen (15) days after the exercise of
any such option to purchase, the LLC and Sunrise shall enter into a Purchase and
Sale Agreement in the form of Standard Purchase and Sale Agreement, provided
that (A) the closing date for the Conveyance of the Applicable Sunrise
Pre-Stabilized Property shall be ninety (90) days after the date of the LLC's
exercise of its option to purchase, and (B) the earnest money deposit shall be
as set forth in the Bona Fide Offer. If the LLC shall Acquire any such Sunrise
Pre-Stabilized Property, the Members shall execute an amendment to this
Agreement which shall state the Non-Compete Area and the Target Area applicable
to such Property on the date of closing. Without limiting the provisions of the
Standard Purchase and Sale Agreement, if the closing under the Purchase and Sale
Agreement for any applicable Sunrise Pre-Stabilized Property shall fail to occur
due to a default by the LLC, the rights to the LLC to purchase such Sunrise
Pre-Stabilized Property under this Section 6.6.3 shall be deemed to be waived
permanently (but such rights shall continue to apply with respect to all other
Sunrise Pre-Stabilized Properties).

              (b) If the Federal Member shall fail to give notice of its
election to purchase any Sunrise Pre-Stabilized Property within the Review
Period, then Sunrise shall have the right to Convey the applicable Sunrise
Pre-Stabilized Property to any person or entity at any time during the eighteen
(18) months after the end of the Review Period for a Price which is not less
than ninety-three percent (93%) of the Price set forth in the applicable Notice
of Opportunity and upon terms that are otherwise not materially more favorable
to the applicable purchaser than the terms set forth in the Standard Purchase
and Sale Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) the closing with
respect to the Conveyance of the applicable Sunrise Pre-Stabilized Property has
not occurred within said eighteen (18) month period, then before Sunrise may
Convey the Sunrise Pre-Stabilized Property (or any direct or indirect beneficial
interest therein), the Sunrise Member shall again provide an opportunity to the
LLC to purchase the Sunrise Pre-Stabilized Property upon the terms and
conditions set forth in Section 6.6.3(a) or this Section 6.6.4(a) hereof
(whichever may then be applicable) and (ii) during said eighteen (18) month
period Sunrise agrees to Convey the Sunrise Pre-Stabilized Property to any other
person or entity for a Price which is less than ninety-three percent (93%) of
the Price set forth in the applicable Notice of Opportunity or upon terms that
are otherwise materially more favorable to the proposed transferee than the
terms set forth in the Standard Purchase and Sale Agreement, then Sunrise shall
not thereafter Convey the Sunrise Pre-Stabilized Property without again offering
to Convey the Pre-Stabilized Property to the LLC in accordance with the
provisions of Section 6.6.4(a) above, except that the Price shall be the reduced
Price and the Review Period shall be seven (7) days for any such subsequent
opportunity (it being understood and agreed that the provisions of this Section
6.6.4(b) shall also apply with respect to each such subsequent opportunity).

              (c) Subject to the provisions of Section 6.6.13 hereof, all
Pursuit Costs incurred by the Federal Member or the LLC with respect to any
Pre-Stabilized Opportunity for which a Notice of Opportunity is given by the
Sunrise Member shall be paid by the LLC, whether or not the LLC shall exercise
its right to purchase same as set forth herein. If the LLC enters into a
Purchase and Sale Agreement and the Federal Member causes the LLC to elect to
                                      -34-
<PAGE>   39

proceed thereunder after any applicable Study Period therein, and thereafter the
LLC fails to close due to a default by the Federal Member, the Pursuit Costs and
earnest money deposit shall be reimbursed to the LLC by the Federal Member (to
the extent same were previously reimbursed to the Federal Member by the LLC),
and the same shall not be a Contribution hereunder or be credited to the Federal
Member's Capital Account, but shall be distributed to the Member in accordance
with their Proportionate Shares.

              6.6.5 Right of First Opportunity With Respect to Third Party
Stabilized Properties. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, during the Investment Period, Sunrise shall not Acquire, independently
or with others, any Senior Housing Facility owned or operated by any third party
within any Target Area unless the Sunrise Member has complied with the
provisions of this Section 6.6.5 (any opportunity to Acquire any such Senior
Housing Facility being referred to herein as a "Third Party Investment
Opportunity" and the applicable Senior Housing Facility being referred to herein
as a "Third Party Investment Property").

              (a) The Sunrise Member shall give a Notice of Opportunity to the
Federal member of each Third Party Investment Opportunity which the Sunrise
Member seriously desires to pursue during the Investment Period. Each Notice of
Opportunity shall set forth the terms upon which the Sunrise Member has
determined that the LLC might Acquire the applicable Third Party Investment
Property and shall be accompanied by a summary of such Preliminary Information
and offers, letters of intent or other agreements to Acquire the Third Party
Investment Property, if any, as the Sunrise Member has in its possession or
control. Within the Review Period, the Federal Member shall notify the Sunrise
Member as to whether the Federal Member authorizes the LLC to pursue the
applicable Third Party Investment Opportunity and to expend Pursuit Costs in
connection therewith (a "Notice of Intent to Pursue"). If the Federal Member
shall give a Notice to Intent to Pursue a Third Party Investment Opportunity
within the Review Period, then the LLC shall have the exclusive right, as among
the LLC, the Federal Member and the Sunrise Member, to pursue the applicable
Third Party Investment Opportunity until such time as the Federal Member shall
give notice to the Sunrise Member that the LLC has elected to discontinue its
pursuit of the applicable Third Party Investment Opportunity (a "Notice of
Discontinuance of Pursuit"). Prior to delivery of any Notice of Intent to
Pursue, and, if the Federal Member shall give any Notice of Intent to Pursue,
prior to the delivery of any Notice of Discontinuance of Pursuit, the Sunrise
Member and the Federal Member shall each cooperate with and support the LLC's
investigation and pursuit of any applicable Third Party Investment Opportunity.
If the LLC shall acquire any such Third Party Stabilized Property, the Member
shall execute an amendment to this Agreement which shall state the Non-Compete
Area and the Target Area applicable to such Property on the date of closing.

              (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 6.6.7 hereof, if (i) the
Federal Member fails to give the Sunrise Member a Notice of Intent to Pursue
with respect to the applicable Third Party Investment Opportunity prior to the
expiration of the Review Period, or (ii) the Federal Member gives a Notice of
Discontinuance of Pursuit with respect to any applicable Third Party Investment
Opportunity, then Sunrise shall have the right to pursue such Third Party
Investment Opportunity independently of the LLC and the Federal Member;
provided, however, that if Sunrise so pursues any such Third Party Investment
Opportunity and the Price upon which the

                                      -35-
<PAGE>   40

same may be Acquired is or becomes reduced by more than seven percent (7%) or
the terms of the Acquisition otherwise become materially more favorable than the
terms which were most recently offered to the LLC by the applicable Third Party
(or the terms set forth in the applicable Notice of Opportunity if no such terms
have been otherwise offered to the LLC by the applicable Third Party), then
Sunrise shall not Acquire the Third Party Investment Property, without again
providing the LLC with an opportunity to pursue same in accordance with the
foregoing provisions of this Section upon such more favorable Price and terms
except that the Review Period shall be seven (7) days for any such subsequent
opportunity (it being understood and agreed that the provisions of this Section
6.6.5(b) shall also apply with respect to each such subsequent opportunity). If
Sunrise shall Acquire any such Third Party Investment Property with respect to
which the LLC or the Federal Member has incurred any Pursuit Costs, the Sunrise
Member shall reimburse the LLC or the Federal Member, as the case may be, for
such costs within seven (7) days after demand by the LLC or the Federal Member,
as the case may be.

              6.6.6 Rights of First Offer With Respect to Third Party
Development Opportunities. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to
the contrary, during the Investment Period, Sunrise shall not develop or
re-develop, or enter into any agreement to develop or redevelop, any Senior
Housing Facility with any Third Party Developer within any Target Area unless
the Sunrise Member has complied with the provisions of this Section 6.6.6 (any
opportunity to develop or redevelop any such Senior Housing Facility being
referred to herein as a "Third Party Development Opportunity" and the applicable
Senior Housing Facility being referred to herein as a "Third Party Development
Property"). Without limiting the provisions of Section 6.6.7 hereof, the
foregoing provision shall not apply to (i) off balance sheet financing
structured transactions such as AL Investments, L.L.C., (ii) develop, construct
and manage for fees transactions such as in Buckhead, Georgia; provided,
however, that the facilities developed pursuant to AL Investments, L.L.C.-type
transactions or pursuant to develop, construct and manage for fees transactions
in which Sunrise Acquires an ownership interest in the Senior Housing Facility
so developed, constructed or managed shall be subject to Section 6.6.3 and 6.6.4
prior to any third party Conveyance or the execution of any Agreement to Convey
same.

              (a) The Sunrise Member shall promptly give a Notice of Opportunity
to the Federal Member of each Third Party Development Opportunity which the
Sunrise Member desires to pursue during the Investment Period. Each Notice of
Opportunity shall set forth the terms upon which the applicable Third Party
Developer and Sunrise have proposed to develop or redevelop any Third Party
Development Property and shall be accompanied by a summary of items of
Preliminary Information which Sunrise has in its possession or control. Within
the Review Period, the Federal Member shall notify the Sunrise Member as to the
terms and conditions upon which the LLC would agree to proceed with the Third
Party Development Opportunity (a "Notice of Intent to Develop"). If the Federal
Member shall give a Notice of Intent to Develop with respect to a Third Party
Development Opportunity within the Review Period which is at least as favorable
to Sunrise as the terms offered or proposed by the Third Party Developer to
Sunrise (or such Related Party), then the LLC and Sunrise shall proceed to enter
into a letter of intent with respect to the Third Party Development Opportunity
and shall thereafter cooperate in good faith and act expeditiously in seeking to
enter into a definitive agreement concerning the Third Party Development
Opportunity until such time as the Federal Member shall give a Notice of
Discontinuance of Pursuit with respect to the applicable Third

                                      -36-
<PAGE>   41

Party Development Opportunity. If the LLC shall Acquire any interest in any
Third Party Development Opportunity, the Members shall execute an amendment to
this Agreement which shall set the Non-Compete Area and the Target Area
applicable to such Property on the date of closing.

              (b) Subject to the provision of Section 6.7 hereof, if (i) the
Federal Member fails to give the Sunrise Member a Notice of Intent to Develop
with respect to the applicable Third Party Development Opportunity prior to the
expiration of the Review Period, or (ii) the Federal Member gives a Notice of
Discontinuance of Pursuit with respect to any applicable Third Party Development
Opportunity, then Sunrise shall have the right to pursue such Third Party
Development Opportunity independently of the LLC and the Federal Member;
provided, however, that if Sunrise so pursues any such Third Party Development
Opportunity and the Price upon which the same may be developed or redeveloped is
or becomes reduced by more than seven percent (7%) or the terms with respect
thereto otherwise become materially more favorable (from the perspective of the
LLC) than the terms which were most recently offered by the LLC, then Sunrise
shall not develop or redevelop the Third Party Development Property, without
again providing the LLC with an opportunity to pursue same in accordance with
the foregoing provisions of this Section upon such more favorable terms. If
Sunrise shall develop or redevelop any such Third Party Development Property
with respect to which the LLC or the Federal Member has incurred any Pursuit
Costs, Sunrise shall reimburse the LLC or the Federal Member (as the case may
be) for such costs within the seven (7) days after demand by the LLC or the
Federal Member, as the case may be.

              6.6.7 Non-Compete. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement
to the contrary, including, without limitation, the provisions of Sections
6.6.2, 6.6.3, 6.6.4, 6.6.5, and 6.6.6, Sunrise shall not engage in or possess,
directly or indirectly, any interest in any Senior Housing Facility or the
acquisition, ownership, development, redevelopment, leasing, operation or
management thereof within any Non-Compete Area; provided, however, that Sunrise
shall have the right to:

                     (i) continue to own, operate and manage the Oakton
Facility; provided, however, that Sunrise shall not have the right to expand the
Oakton Facility or to redevelop the Oakton Facility so as to compete more
directly with any applicable Property;

                     (ii) manage any Pre-Existing Facility located within any
Non-Compete Area, provided that (A) the fees and other compensation paid to
Sunrise for its services in connection with the Pre-Existing Facility are not
based upon an incentive management structure or similar structure as a result of
which Sunrise's economic interest with respect to the Pre-Existing Facility is
substantially equivalent to the economic interest that would exist if Sunrise
actually owned or controlled more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the
beneficial ownership interests in the Pre-Existing Facility or in the Entity
which owns or leases the Pre-Existing Facility; and (B) at no time during the
Investment Period shall Sunrise own or control more than twenty-five percent
(25%) of the beneficial ownership interests in the Pre-Existing Facility or in
the Entity which owns or leases the Pre-Existing Facility; and

                     (iii) acquire, own and operate any Pre-Existing Facility
located within any Non-Compete Area, provided that (A) the Pre-Existing Facility
is included within a portfolio

                                      -37-
<PAGE>   42

of Senior Housing Facilities and is acquired by Sunrise simultaneously with the
acquisition by Sunrise of the remainder of such portfolio from a single Seller
in a single transaction, and (B) the sum of the fair market value of the
Pre-Existing Facility and the fair market value of all other Pre-Existing
Facilities acquired as part of such portfolio which are located within any
Non-Compete Area, including, without limitation, the Non-Compete Area in which
the subject Pre-Existing Senior Housing Facility is located, is less than
twenty-five percent (25%) of the fair market value, on an aggregate basis, of
the entire portfolio so acquired.

The foregoing provisions of this Section shall apply notwithstanding (i) the
failure of the Federal Member or the LLC to exercise any rights granted thereto
with respect to any Sunrise Investment Opportunity, any Third Party Investment
Opportunity or any Third Party Development Opportunity; or (ii) the delivery by
the Federal Member or the LLC of any Notice of Discontinuance of Pursuit with
respect to any Sunrise Investment Opportunity, any Third Party Investment
Opportunity or any Third Party Development Opportunity.

              6.6.8 Restricted Development Area.

              (a) Sunrise shall not, without the Federal Member's prior written
consent (which consent may be withheld in the Federal Member's sole and absolute
discretion), develop or construct any new Senior Housing Facility or
substantially redevelop or expand any existing Senior Housing Facility located
within any Restricted Development Area unless each Property located within the
applicable Restricted Development Area has had an average occupancy level of at
least ninety-five percent (95%) of the total occupancy level for such Property
during the prior twelve (12) month period ending on the later of (i) the date
that a commercially reasonable earnest-money deposit posted by Sunrise with
respect to the acquisition of the land upon which the Senior Housing Facility is
proposed to be developed or redeveloped becomes non-refundable under the terms
of the applicable acquisition agreement if Sunrise does not own such land as of
the date hereof, (ii) the date that Sunrise obtains a building permit for the
development or redevelopment of the proposed Senior Housing Facility if Sunrise
owns the land upon which same is proposed to be developed or redeveloped as of
the date hereof, or (iii) the one (1) year anniversary of the date of
acquisition of such Property by the LLC. For purposes of this Section 6.6.8(a),
no unit or bed in any property shall be deemed to be occupied for purposes of
determining occupancy levels if the applicable resident is occupying his unit or
bed at a rental rate which is not consistent with the rental rate for such unit
or bed set forth in the then applicable Annual Business Plan for the Property or
if the resident has received rent or other concessions not consistent with the
then applicable Annual Business Plan.

              (b) The "Put Period" shall be a period commencing on the date of
commencement by Sunrise of construction of any Senior Housing Facility (or
redevelopment for expansion thereof) in the Restricted Development Area
permitted under Section 6.6.8(a) above and ending on the first anniversary of
the last day of the first period of twelve (12) consecutive months during which
the average actual occupancy of such Senior Housing Facility was at least
ninety-three (93%). If during the Put Period the average occupancy level of any
Property located within the Restricted Development Area is less than eighty
percent (80%) of the total occupancy for such Property for a period of at least
twelve (12) consecutive months, then the Federal Member shall have the option
(the "Restricted Area Put Option") exercisable by notice given to the Sunrise
Member at any time after the expiration of such twelve (12) month period but
within

                                      -38-
<PAGE>   43

the Put Period, to cause the Company to sell, and the Sunrise Member to
purchase, the applicable Property at a purchase price calculated under Section
6.6.8(c) below. Within fifteen (15) days after the exercise, if any, of the
Restricted Area Put Option, the Company and the Sunrise Member shall enter into
a Purchase and Sale Agreement in the form of the Standard Purchase and Sale
Agreement, provided that the closing date for the Conveyance of the applicable
Property shall be the date which is not later than ninety (90) days after the
exercise by the Federal Member of the Restricted Area Put Option. For purposes
of this Section 6.6.8(b), no unit or bed in any Property shall be deemed to be
occupied for purposes of determining occupancy levels if the applicable resident
is occupying his unit or bed at a rental rate which is not consistent with the
rental rate generally prevailing in the Restricted Development Area for
comparable units or beds prior to the commencement of construction of any such
Senior Housing Facility (or any redevelopment or expansion thereof) by Sunrise
in the Restricted Development Area or if the resident has received rent or other
concessions which are not consistent with market conditions generally prevailing
in the Restricted Development Area prior to the commencement of such
construction for comparable units or beds.

              (c) The purchase price for any Property subject to the Restricted
Area Put Option shall be computed as set forth herein, subject to adjustment as
provided in Section 6.6.8(d) below. The Net Operating Income for the last twelve
(12) month period ending prior to the commencement of the Put Period (which
shall be based upon an occupancy level of at least ninety-five percent (95%) for
such twelve (12) month period as set forth above in Section 6.6.8(a) hereof)
shall be reasonably estimated by the Federal Member based upon the most recent
financial reports delivered by the Manager in connection with the applicable
Property. Such Net Operating Income shall then be increased over the period from
the first day of the Put Period through the date of the Federal Member's
exercise of the Restricted Area Put Option by the average annual growth rate in
Net Operating Income for the applicable Property for the 36-month period ending
immediately prior to the commencement of the Put Period; provided, however, that
if the applicable Property has not had an average occupancy level of at least
ninety-three percent (93%) for at least thirty-six (36) months prior to the Put
Period, then the average annual growth rate to be applied to the Net Operating
Income under the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.6.8(c) shall be equal to
the greater of (i) the average annual growth rate in Net Operating Income for
all of Stabilized Properties directly or indirectly owned by the LLC during the
36-month period ending immediately prior to the Put Period, and (ii) three
percent (3%) per annum. The annualized Net Operating Income as so increased
shall be divided by a capitalization rate to be agreed upon by the Sunrise
Member and the Federal Member as representing the then fair market
capitalization rate for Senior Housing Facilities in the applicable Restricted
Development Area; provided, further, however, that if the Sunrise Member and the
Federal Member fail to agree upon such capitalization rate within fifteen (15)
days after the date of exercise of the Restricted Area Put Option, then the
capitalization rate shall be determined by appraisals conducted in accordance
with the procedures described in Section 8.2.3 hereof, except that the Qualified
Appraisers shall be instructed to determine only the fair market capitalization
rate for Senior Housing Facilities located within the applicable Restricted
Development Area rather than Appraised Fair Market Value for the applicable
Property.

              (d) Within one hundred eighty (180) days after the closing of the
sale of any Property to the Sunrise Member pursuant to the exercise of a
Restricted Development Area Put Option, the Accountants shall audit the books
and records of the applicable Property with respect

                                      -39-
<PAGE>   44

to Net Operating Income for the twelve (12) month period ending immediately
prior to the commencement of the Put Period and used to determine the purchase
price of the Property under provisions of Section 6.6.8(c) hereof. Promptly upon
completion of the audit, the Accounts shall deliver a notice ("Put Price
Adjustment Notice") to each party setting forth the actual Net Operating Income
for such twelve (12) month period and the amount of purchase price for the
Property as recalculated by the Accountants using such actual Net Operating
Income and the capitalization rate determined under the provisions of the
foregoing Section 6.6.8(c). The determination by the Accountants as to such Net
Operating Income and the adjusted purchase price for the Property shall be final
and binding upon the Members. If the amount of the actual Net Operating Income
for the applicable twelve (12) month period as determined by any audit under
this Section is less than ninety-seven percent (97%) of the amount of Net
Operating Income reported by the Property Manager to the applicable Lessee in
its most recent reports prior to the exercise of the applicable Restricted Area
Put Option, then the cost of the audit shall be paid by the Sunrise Member;
otherwise, the cost of the audit shall be paid by the Members in accordance with
their Proportionate Shares. If the purchase price for the applicable Property as
adjusted under the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.6.8(d) is less than
the purchase price as calculated under the provisions of Section 6.6.8(c)
hereof, then, within thirty (30) days after demand by the Federal Member, the
Sunrise Member shall pay the difference to the Federal Member. If the purchase
price of the Property as so adjusted is greater than the purchase price as
determined under Section 6.6.8(c) hereof, then, within thirty (30) days after
demand by the Sunrise Member, the Federal Member shall pay the difference to the
Sunrise Member.

              6.6.9 Delivery of Monthly Deal List. Without limiting the
foregoing provisions of this Section, not less frequently than once per month
during the Investment Period, the Sunrise Member shall deliver a "deal list" to
the Federal Member which shall set forth (i) all Sunrise Investment
Opportunities, Third Party Investment Opportunities and Third Party Development
Opportunities within the Target Areas with respect to which the Sunrise Member
has a serious interest in pursuing in the current or succeeding calendar year
and (ii) the status of Sunrise's efforts with respect to any Sunrise Investment
Property being marketed for sale and any inquiries or offers received in
connection therewith.

              6.6.10 Rights of Federal Member With Respect to Rights of First
Opportunity; Rights of First Offer and Rights of First Refusal. Whenever in this
Section 6.6 or in any Purchase and Sale Agreement, Agreement to Acquire,
Agreement to Convey or other instrument, document or agreement executed by the
LLC in connection with the rights granted under this Section 6.6, the LLC has
the right or obligation to make any election, exercise any right or otherwise
perform with respect to any Sunrise Investment Property, Third Party Investment
Property or Third Party Development Property, the Federal Member shall have the
right, acting singly, in its sole discretion and without the need or requirement
for any consent or approval of the Sunrise Member, to compel or cause the LLC to
make such election, exercise such right or otherwise perform as directed by the
Federal Member.

              6.6.11 Related Party Transactions Generally Prohibited. Except as
expressly approved in this Agreement, in an Approved Budget, in an Annual
Business Plan or otherwise, neither Member shall engage or pay (or cause the
Company to engage or pay) any compensation to any Related Party of such Member
for the provision of services to the Company unless (a) such party is fully
qualified and experienced to provide the required services, (b) both the scope

                                      -40-
<PAGE>   45

of services and the compensation payable to such Related Party for the services
are consistent with then current market standards for arms length transactions,
(c) the Member discloses such engagement to the other Member as a transaction
with a Related Party, and (d) the Members approve such engagement or payment.

              6.6.12 Permitted Related Party Transactions. Any and all Related
Party transactions shall be on terms and shall contain conditions as would be
negotiated at "arms length" with a Third Party.

              6.6.13 Pursuit Costs. Notwithstanding any provision hereof, if, on
three (3) separate occasions, the LLC shall enter into a Purchase and Sale
Agreement or other Agreement to Acquire any Senior Housing Facility or other
property pursuant to the exercise of any of its rights of first opportunity
under this Section 6.6 and shall thereafter fail to Acquire the applicable
Senior Housing Facility or other property for any reason other than a default on
the part of Sunrise, then the LLC shall have no obligation to reimburse the
Pursuit Costs of the Federal Member with respect to any subsequent Senior
Housing Facility or other property for which the LLC enters into a Purchase and
Sale Agreement or other agreement to Acquire pursuant to its rights under
Section 6.6 unless and until the LLC shall actually Acquire such a Senior
Housing Facility or property.

              6.6.14 Amendments to Agreement; New Venture Agreements

              (a) If the LLC shall Acquire any Property pursuant to the terms of
Sections 6.6.2, 6.6.3, 6.6.4, 6.6.5 or 6.6.6, then the Members shall execute an
amendment to this Agreement which shall, among other things, set the Non-Compete
Area and Target Area applicable to the New Property.

              (b) If the acquisition price at which the Company proposes to
acquire any Property under Sections 6.6.3, 6.6.4, 6.6.5 or 6.6.6 is not equal to
the Net Operating Income of the Property for the last full calendar quarter
ending prior to the date of execution of the Purchase and Sale Agreement
therefor by the Company and Sunrise, multiplied by four (4) and divided by a
capitalization rate of 10.75%, then, at the request of either Member, the
Members shall form a new limited liability company for the purpose of acquiring
the Property, which shall be substantially in the form of this Agreement, except
that the annual return set forth in the definition of "Priority Guaranteed
Payment" shall be adjusted to equal the capitalization rate used in lieu of
10.75% to determine the purchase price for such Property as aforesaid.

       Section 6.7   Limitation of Liability.

              6.7.1  Exculpatory Provisions. None of the Sunrise Member, the
Federal Member, any Related Party of any Member or any Member's agents,
officers, partners, members, employees, representatives, directors or
shareholders shall be liable, responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise
to the Company or any Member for (i) any act performed in good faith within the
scope of the authority conferred by this Agreement, (ii) any good faith failure
or refusal to perform any acts except those required by the terms of this
Agreement, or (iii) any performance or omission to perform any acts in reliance
on the advice of accountants or

                                      -41-
<PAGE>   46

legal counsel for the Company; provided, however, that each Member shall
nevertheless be liable in all events for its own fraud, negligence or willful
misconduct.

              6.7.2 Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the
Company shall indemnify and save harmless each Member, and each Member's Related
Parties, agents, officers, partners, members, employees, representatives,
directors and shareholders from any loss, cost, damage, fee (including without
limitation, legal fees and costs) or expense incurred by reason of (i) such
party's status as a Member or the Related Party of a Member or such party's
status as agent, officer, partner, member, employee, representative, director or
shareholder of such Member, (ii) any act performed in good faith within the
scope of the authority conferred by this Agreement, (iii) any failure or refusal
to perform any acts except those required by the terms of this Agreement or (iv)
any performance or omission to perform any acts based upon reasonable good faith
reliance on the advice of accountants or legal counsel for the Company, provided
that no indemnification shall be given with respect to acts or omissions which
constitute fraud, negligence or willful misconduct.

                      ARTICLE VII - LIABILITIES OF MEMBERS

       Section 7.1   General. No Member shall be liable for any debts,
liabilities, contracts or other obligations of the Company nor shall any Member
be required to lend funds to the Company. Except as otherwise specifically
required by Article III or by applicable law, no Member shall be required to
make any Contributions to the Company.

                  ARTICLE VIII - TRANSFER OF COMPANY INTEREST

       Section 8.1   Transfer by the Members.

              8.1.1  General Restrictions. No Member shall sell, pledge,
hypothecate, assign, transfer, mortgage, charge or otherwise encumber, or suffer
any Third Party to sell, assign, transfer, mortgage, charge or otherwise
encumber, or contract to do or permit any of the foregoing, directly or
indirectly and whether voluntarily or by operation by law (collectively referred
to as a "Transfer") any part or all of its interest or membership in the Company
except as provided in this Article VIII. Any attempt to effect any of the
foregoing prohibited actions shall be void ab initio and, in addition to other
rights and remedies at law and in equity, the other Member or Members shall be
entitled to injunctive relief enjoining the prohibited action. The Members
expressly acknowledge that damages at law would be an inadequate remedy for a
breach or threatened breach of the provisions concerning transfer set forth in
this Agreement. The giving of consent or approval by the Member required under
this Article VIII in any one or more instances shall not limit or waive the need
for such consent or approval in any other or subsequent instances.
Notwithstanding anything in this Article VIII or this Agreement to the contrary,
no Member shall have the right to effect any Transfer of its interest in the
Company if the Transfer, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, may
constitute a violation of any state or federal securities laws or other
applicable law. Except as expressly permitted under Section 8.1.3, no Member
shall have the right to effect any transfer of its interest in the Company if
such Transfer would cause the Company to terminate under applicable law without
the prior approval of the other Members; provided, however, that nothing herein
contained shall limit the rights of the Federal Member to make a Transfer under
Section 8.1.3 that results in a tax termination of

                                      -42-
<PAGE>   47

the Company so long as the Federal Member and the transferee agree to cooperate
with the Sunrise Member to take such action as may be necessary to continue the
Company for tax purposes (the Sunrise Member hereby also agreeing to cooperate
in taking such actions at the request of the Federal Member or such assignee).
No Transfer by any Member of an interest in the Company may be made to any
Person if: (i) such Transfer would cause any interest in the Company or any
portion of the assets of the Company to constitute assets of any employee
benefit plan pursuant to Department of Labor Regulations Section 2510.3-101;
(ii) such Transfer would cause the Company to no longer be excluded from the
definition of "Investment Company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940; or
(iii) such Transfer would cause the Company to be considered for purposes of
Section 1.7704-1(h)(1)(ii) of the Regulations to have more than 100 members at
any time during any taxable year.

              8.1.2 Indirect Transfers. The restrictions set forth in this
Article VIII shall not be construed to limit or restrict in any way (i) indirect
transfers otherwise permitted under this Article VIII, or (ii) subject to
Section 8.2, indirect transfers of interests by or in the Federal Member or the
Sunrise Member, or the constituent partners or members of the Federal Member or
the Sunrise Member, as the case may be.

              8.1.3 Permitted Transfers. Without any requirement for obtaining
approval, but subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 8.1.3, the
final sentence of Section 8.1.1 and the provisions of Section 8.2, each Member
shall have the right to Transfer directly or indirectly all or a portion of its
interest in the Company solely if such Transfer is to an Entity which is owned
or controlled by, is under common ownership and control with or owns and
controls the original Member. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
in the case of any transfer by a Member, there shall at all times remain a
single entity which has the authority to act on behalf of the Sunrise Member or
the Federal Member, as the case may be. The Company and the other Member shall
at all times be entitled to rely fully on the consent, direction, authorization
or other binding action of the single designated entity authorized to act on
behalf of such Member. The designation of a new entity to act on behalf of the
Sunrise Member or the Federal Member, as the case may be, may only be made by
the previous authorized entity. The initial entity authorized to act on behalf
of the Sunrise Member is Sunrise Assisted Living Investments, Inc., through any
duly authorized officer thereof. The initial authorized entity to act on behalf
of the Federal Member shall be Federal Street Management, LLC, acting through
any duly authorized member or manager thereof. Each Member shall from time to
time provide the other Member, upon request therefor, with a list of authorized
individuals whose signatures will bind the authorized entities.

              8.1.4 Conditions to Substitutions. An assignee or transferee of a
Member shall not have any other rights of a Member other than its right to
distributions, unless and until the assignee is admitted as a substituted
Member. Thereafter, subject to the last sentence of this Section, such assignee
shall have all rights of a Member hereunder, except the right to provide
consents and authorizations, which shall remain subject to Section 8.1.3. An
assignee or transferee shall become a substituted Member when and if the
assignee or transferee (a) pays all Company expenses incurred in connection with
its substitution; (b) submits a duly executed instrument of assignment, in a
form reasonably satisfactory to the non-assigning Member, specifying the
membership interest assigned to it and setting forth the assigning Member's
intention that the assignee succeed to such portion of the assigning Member's
membership

                                      -43-

interest; (c) executes a copy of this Agreement or an amendment to
this Agreement; and (d) is approved unanimously by the Members to be admitted as
a Substituted Member. The admission of a substituted Member shall be effective
as of the close of the day on which all of the conditions specified in this
Section 8.1.4 have been satisfied.

      Section 8.2 Change in Control of the Sunrise Member.

              8.2.1 Definition of Change in Control.

              8.2.1.1 A "Change in Control" of the Sunrise Member shall be
deemed to occur if, at any time after the date of the formation of the Company,
(i) any Person (or one or more Persons acting in concert as a group) acquires
(A) more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding capital stock of SALI,
SALII or SALMI, or (B) such percentage of the outstanding capital stock of SALI,
SALII or SALMI or such other rights as would entitle such Person (or such group)
to appoint a majority of the board of SALI, SALII or SALMI and such Person or
group actually exercises such right and elects a majority of the board members
who were not members prior to such time; (ii) a merger, exchange, consolidation,
recapitalization or other business combination (a "Business Combination") occurs
in which the holders of the outstanding capital stock of SALI, SALII or SALMI
immediately prior to such Business Combination, disregarding for such purposes
any holders who are affiliates of another party to the Business Combination or
acting in concert as a group with such other party, own less than fifty-one
percent (51%) of the aggregate equity interests of the surviving entity or own
less than fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting securities (determined on the
basis of number of votes per security) immediately following such Business
Combination; or (iii) all or substantially all of the assets of SALI, SALII or
SALMI are sold or otherwise disposed of, directly, indirectly, voluntarily,
involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise.

              8.2.1.2 A "Permitted Change of Control" is a Change of Control (i)
which occurs after the first anniversary of the Second Closing Date, and (ii)
pursuant to which any applicable Person (or Persons) acquiring the stock of
SALI, SALII or SALMI under Section 8.2.1.1(i), the surviving entity of any
applicable Business Combination under Section 8.2.1.1(ii), or the Person which
purchases all or substantially all of the assets of SALI, SALII or SALMI under
Section 8.2.1.1(iii) (each such Person being referred to herein as the "New
Entity") satisfies all of the following requirements:

       (i)    The tangible net worth of the New Entity, computed in accordance
              with GAAP, as of the date of the Change of Control is not less
              than the greatest of (A) the tangible net worth of SALI, SALII
              and/or SALMI, as the case may be, as of the date hereof, (B) the
              tangible net worth of SALI, SALII and/or SALMI as the case may be,
              on the day prior to the date of the Change of Control, and (C)
              $250,000,000;

       (ii)   Neither the New Entity nor any Person directly or indirectly
              controlling the New Entity, or any of the New Entity's operational
              subsidiaries shall, at any time (A) have filed a petition in
              bankruptcy or sought the protection of any bankruptcy or similar
              insolvency laws, or had a petition under any bankruptcy or
              creditors rights laws filed against it; (B) had any license or

                                      -44-

              certification to operate any assisted living/dementia care or
              skilled nursing facility denied or revoked by any governmental
              authority due to any actual or alleged fault or failure by, or the
              negative reputation of, the New Entity or any of its Related
              Parties, (C) have paid on three (3) or more occasions during any
              period of five (5) consecutive years prior to the occurrence of
              the Change of Control any fine, penalty or sanction in excess of
              $7,500 each to one or more governmental authorities having
              jurisdiction with respect to licenses or certifications to operate
              assisted living/dementia care or nursing home facilities or under
              any Medicare, Medicaid or third party payor program (D) been found
              to have been grossly negligent to have committed willful or
              intentional misconduct in any lawsuit alleging any wrongdoing by
              the New Entity or any of its Related Parties or any of their
              respective employees relating to assisted living/dementia care or
              skilled nursing care, or (E) been found to have been liable in
              three (3) or more lawsuits alleging any wrongdoing by the New
              Entity or any of its Related Parties or any of their respective
              employees relating to assisted living/dementia care of skilled
              nursing facilities for any reason other than gross negligence,
              willful misconduct or recklessness;

       (iii)  The New Entity, or its operational subsidiary or subsidiaries,
              shall (A) be licensed or certified for the operation of assisted
              living/dementia care facilities in each state in which the
              Properties are located as of the date of the Change of Control,
              and (B) have at least five (5) years experience in, the operation
              of a substantial number of assisted living/dementia care
              facilities located in metropolitan markets substantially similar
              to the Target Areas; and

       (iv)   The New Entity or its operational subsidiary or subsidiaries must
              have in place or adopt as of the date of the Change of Control,
              hiring, training and quality assurance programs and operating and
              management standards that are equivalent to or higher in quality
              than the Sunrise Standards in effect as of the date hereof.

              8.2.1.3 A "Prohibited Change of Control" shall mean any Change of
Control other than a Permitted Change of Control including, without limitation,
any Change of Control which occurs on or before the first anniversary of the
Second Closing Date.

              8.2.1.4 Other Provisions. If the executive members of management
of the Sunrise Member at any time desire to acquire an interest in SALI, SALII
or SALMI that could constitute a Change in Control, the Federal Member agrees to
discuss any such transaction with the Sunrise Member, provided that the Federal
Member shall have no obligation whatsoever to consent thereto. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the acceptability of the executives in question
and of the structure of the proposed transaction shall be in the sole and
absolute discretion of the Federal Member.

              8.2.2 Rights of Federal Member. Upon the occurrence of any
Prohibited Change of Control, the Federal Member shall have the option,
exercisable within one hundred

                                      -45-
<PAGE>   50

twenty (120) days of its obtaining knowledge of such Prohibited Change of
Control, to purchase the interest of the Sunrise Member in the Company (the
"Sunrise Interest") based upon the Appraised Fair Market Value (as hereinafter
defined) of such interest or to deliver a Buy/Sell Offering Notice under Section
8.4. If the Federal Member fails to exercise its option under this Section 8.2.2
within such one hundred twenty (120) day period, its rights under this Section
8.2.2 shall lapse with respect to such Prohibited Change of Control. The Sunrise
Member shall give notice as soon as reasonably practicable prior to the date
that it anticipates that a Change in Control may occur. If the Federal Member
elects to purchase the Sunrise Interest pursuant this Section 8.2.2, then the
Closing of such acquisition shall occur on a date specified by the Federal
Member together with such exercise, such date to be no later than one hundred
eighty (180) days after the date of such exercise. If closing does not take
place by such date due to a default of the Federal Member, then the Federal
Member's rights under this Section 8.2 shall lapse with respect to such
Prohibited Change in Control.

              8.2.3 Appraised Fair Market Value. For purposes of this Section
8.2, "Appraised Fair Market Value" shall be determined as follows:

              (a) Within fifteen (15) days of exercise of the option set forth
in this Section 8.2 (the "Section 8.2 Option") by the Federal Member (or in the
case of any other requirement in this Agreement to determine the Appraised Fair
Market Value), the Federal Member and the Sunrise Member shall appoint an MAI
appraiser with at least ten (10) years experience appraising properties similar
to the Properties in the jurisdictions in which same are located (a "Qualified
Appraiser") whose determination of the Appraised Fair Market Value shall be the
final and binding determination. If the Sunrise Member and the Federal Member
cannot agree upon a Qualified Appraiser to make such appraisal within fifteen
(15) days, then each such Member shall, within thirty (30) days thereafter,
serve notice upon the other Member of a Qualified Appraiser selected by it. If
either Member fails to so appoint a Qualified Appraiser within said thirty (30)
day period, then the Qualified Appraiser so appointed by the other Member shall
be the sole Qualified Appraiser and his determination of the Appraised Fair
Market Value shall be final and binding. Within thirty (30) days of the
appointment of the Qualified Appraiser or Qualified Appraisers, as set forth
above, each Qualified Appraiser so appointed shall serve upon the other and upon
each Member his determination of the Appraised Fair Market Value. If one
Qualified Appraiser has been appointed pursuant to this paragraph, his
determination of the Appraised Fair Market Value shall be the final
determination of the Appraised Fair Market Value. If two Qualified Appraisers
have been appointed pursuant to this paragraph, then if the greater Appraised
Fair Market Value is no greater than seven percent (7%) more than the lesser
Appraised Fair Market Value, then the Appraised Fair Market Value shall be the
average of such two appraisals. If the foregoing is not the case, then such two
Qualified Appraisers shall appoint a third Qualified Appraiser (provided,
however, that if such appointment has not occurred, for any reason, within
fifteen (15) days of the determination that the Appraised Fair Market Value will
not be determined by such average, then either the Sunrise Member or the Federal
Member may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint such third
Qualified Appraiser), and within thirty (30) days of his appointment, such third
Qualified Appraiser shall determine which of the initial Appraised Fair Market
Values is more accurate, and such value shall be conclusively deemed the
Appraised Fair Market Value. In determining Appraised Fair Market Value, the
Qualified Appraisers shall be directed to determine the prices at which the
Properties would be sold if sold in an organized manner for all cash. The
Qualified

                                      -46-
<PAGE>   51

 Appraisers shall take into account the need or advisability of selling
certain Properties in groups due to financing or similar restrictions. Where it
is possible that Properties could be sold subject to existing financing, the
appraisal shall take into account the projected cash price in excess of such
existing financing. After determining the proceeds of a sale of all the
Properties based upon the Appraised Fair Market Value, the Members shall do an
analysis in order to determine how the proceeds of such a sale would be
distributed pursuant to Section 5.3 of this Agreement, taking into account all
preferences, accrued priority returns and similar items and reasonable
liquidation costs and reserves. The amount which would be distributed to the
Sunrise Member under such analysis shall be the purchase price to be paid by the
Federal Member for the Sunrise Interest. No prepayment premiums or transfer fees
for existing financing would be taken into account in determining the Appraised
Fair Market Value or the purchase price for the Sunrise Interest unless such
transfer fees, yield maintenance premiums and the like will be incurred as a
result of the consummation of the purchase of the Sunrise Interest under this
Section 8.2.

              (b) Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 8.2, the Closing
of the sale of the Sunrise Interest pursuant to this Section 8.2 shall be
consummated in the manner set forth in Section 8.4.4.

              (c) Each party shall pay (i) one-half of the fees of a jointly
ap4pointed Qualified Appraiser, or (ii) the fees and expenses of the one of the
two Qualified Appraisers appointed by or for such party, or (iii) one-half of
the fees and expenses of the third Qualified Appraiser, whichever is applicable.

       Section 8.3 Members.

              8.3.1 Terminating Event. Upon the occurrence of a Terminating
Event with respect to a Member, the Legal Successor of the Member shall continue
to possess the Member's interest in Company distributions, but shall possess no
rights of approval or decision otherwise attendant to such interest.

              8.3.2 Withdrawal by Members. Notwithstanding any provision of the
Act to the contrary, no Member may resign, withdraw or withdraw capital from the
Company, except pursuant to a right expressly set forth herein.

       Section 8.4 Buy/Sell.

              (a) Buy/Sell Offering Notice. The operation of this Section 8.4
may be triggered upon written notice (the "Buy/Sell Offering Notice"):

                  (i)   by either Member given at any time after the expiration
of the Investment Period;

                  (ii)  by either Member no more than one hundred twenty (120)
days after the occurrence of an Event of Default by the Responding Member;

                  (iii) by either Member if the LLC shall fail to maintain a
Debt Ratio which is greater than or equal to the Minimum Debt Ratio and such
failure shall not be cured within a reasonable period after notice from any
Member to the other with respect thereto, such

                                      -47-
<PAGE>   52

period to be not less than eighteen (18) months and to be determined after
taking into account then prevailing market conditions for financing of similar
Senior Housing Facilities (it being understood and agreed that, without limiting
any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated to
obtain any loan unless the new Loan constant would be less than 10.6 for the
first year of such Loan.);

                     (iv) by the Federal Member given at any time after the
termination of the Term of any Lease (as defined therein);

                     (v) by the Federal Member given at any time after March 31,
2001 and prior to July 31, 2001, unless on or before March 31, 2001 the Second
Closing has occurred, or, if the Second Closing has not occurred on or before
March 31, 2001, or one or more of the Properties intended to be included in the
Second Closing are not acquired on or before March 31, 2001, then unless
Qualified Replacement Properties are acquired such that the Appraised Fair
Market Value of all of the Properties owned by Subsidiaries of the LLC is equal
to at least $100 million and the Debt Ratio is not less than forty percent (40%)
or greater than fifty percent (50%) on or before March 31, 2001;

                     (vi) by the Federal Member given at any time after the date
which is twelve (12) months after the date of any Permitted Change of Control;
or

                     (vii) by the Sunrise Member giving no more than one hundred
twenty (120) days after a default under the Second Purchase and Sale Agreement
caused by the Federal Member which remains uncured after the expiration of any
applicable notice and/or cure period thereunder;

provided, however, that there is no Event of Default with respect to the Member
initiating such notice. The Member duly exercising such right shall be the
"Initiating Member" and the other Member shall be the "Responding Member" for
the purposes of this Section 8.4. The Buy/Sell Offering Notice shall set forth
an amount determined by the Initiating Member as the basis for the calculations
required under Section 8.4.2 (the "Proposed Value"). No Buy/Sell Offering Notice
or Responsive Notice under Section 8.4.2 may be rescinded once given, without
the written consent of the other Member.

                     8.4.2 Responsive Notice. Within thirty (30) days following
the date of the Buy/Sell Offering Notice, the Responding Member shall deliver to
the Initiating Member a responsive notice, without qualification or condition,
electing either:

                     (a) To sell to the Initiating Member the entirety of the
Responding Member's interest in the Company at a price (the "Sale Price") equal
to the amount of cash that would be distributed to the Responding Member under
Article V if all of the assets of the Company were sold for cash in the amount
of the Proposed Value taking into account the allocations set forth in Article
IV which would be required to be made as a result of such sale and usual and
customary closing costs; or

                     (b) To purchase from the Initiating Member the entirety of
the Initiating Member's interest in the Company at a price (the "Buy Price")
equal to the amount of cash that would be distributed to the Initiating Member
under Article V if all of the assets of the Company

                                      -48-
<PAGE>   53

were sold for cash in the amount of the Proposed Value taking into account the
allocations set forth in Article IV which would be required to be made as a
result of such sale and usual and customary closing costs.

In calculating the amount which would be distributed to the applicable Member
under either (a) or (b) above, the Initiating Member shall take into account in
determining the Proposed Value that a sum will be required to be set aside for
liquidation costs and reserves, and all Company indebtedness shall be deemed to
be retired as of the Closing Date. The Sale Price or Buy Price shall not take
into account any loan assumption costs, prepayment premiums, breakage costs or
similar items unless the same will be incurred as a result of the consummation
of the purchase and sale of any interest of either Member pursuant to a Buy/Sell
Offering Notice. The failure of the Responding Member to give such a responsive
notice (without qualification or condition) within the required time period
shall be deemed notice of an election to sell its entire interest under clause
(a) above. The date as of which the Responding Member shall have given notice of
its election (or be deemed to have made an election) shall be the "Buy/Sell
Election Date."

              8.4.3 Buy/Sell Deposit. The Member bound to purchase pursuant to
the election referenced in Section 8.4.3 (the "Purchaser," and the other Member
shall be the "Seller") shall be required to make an earnest money deposit within
ten (10) days of the Buy/Sell Election Date in the amount of $3,000,000 in
immediately available funds (the "Buy/Sell Deposit"). The Buy/Sell Deposit to
serve as a good faith deposit for the purposes of the closing of the purchase in
accordance with Section 8.4.4 below shall be delivered to First American Title
Insurance Company (or another national title insurance company reasonably
acceptable to the Members) as escrow agent. The Buy/Sell Deposit shall be
non-refundable to the Purchaser (except in the event that the closing of the
purchase shall fail to occur due to a default of the Seller in performing its
closing obligations pursuant to Section 8.4.4).

              8.4.4 Closing Process. Purchaser shall fix a closing date (the
"Closing Date") not later than one hundred twenty (120) days following the date
of receipt by the Initiating Member of the responsive notice within the period
set forth in Section 8.4.2 or the deemed election by the Responding Member in
accordance with Section 8.4.2, by notifying the Seller in writing of the Closing
Date not less than thirty (30) days prior thereto. The closing shall take place
on the Closing Date at the principal office of the Purchaser. The purchase price
for the Seller's interest shall be paid in immediately available funds and the
Seller shall convey good and marketable title to its membership interest in the
Company to Purchaser or its designee free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances. Each Member agrees to cooperate and to take all actions and
execute all documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to reflect the
purchase of the Seller's interest by the Purchaser. The Manager shall prepare a
balance sheet for the Company as of the date of determination of the Closing
Date showing all items of income and expense of the Company earned or accrued,
and such income and expenses shall be prorated between the Purchaser and the
Seller as of the Closing Date (based on the Seller's interest therein prior to
the Closing Date). The cost of any title insurance policy endorsements desired
by the Purchaser shall be paid by the Purchaser. All other costs shall be borne
by the party who customarily bears such costs. Any risk of casualty or loss
prior to the Closing Date shall be borne by the Purchaser, who shall succeed to
all rights to insurance proceeds or condemnation awards. In no event shall the
Purchaser be required to repay or to cause the Company to repay any indebtedness
of the Company at such closing.

       8.4.5 Failure to Close.

       (a) If the Purchaser fails to perform its obligations under this Section
8.4 (following such failure, the "Defaulting Purchaser"), the Seller may (i)
retain the Deposit, and/or (ii) purchase the interest of the Defaulting
Purchaser for a price equal to ninety percent (90%) of the amount the Defaulting
Purchaser would have received pursuant to Section 8.4.3 had it been the Seller
rather than the Purchaser, upon written notice to the Purchaser given within
thirty (30) days after the originally scheduled Closing Date. If the Seller
elects to purchase the interest of the Defaulting Purchaser, the closing of such
purchase shall take place in accordance with the provisions hereof, except that
the Closing Date shall be not later than ninety (90) days following the date on
which the notice electing such purchase is given. If the Seller shall fail to
perform its obligations under this Section 8.4, the Purchaser shall have all
rights and remedies available to it at law or equity, including, without
limitation, the right to seek specific performance.

       (b) Without limiting the provisions of the foregoing Subsection (a), a
Defaulting Purchaser shall be deemed to have forfeited its right to deliver a
Buy/Sell Offering Notice pursuant to Section 8.4.1 for any reason whatsoever (i)
for a period of three (3) years from the date of the first such default and (ii)
fully and finally from the date of any subsequent default. If such Defaulting
Purchaser shall have theretofore been a Defaulting Purchaser under this Section
8.4 in connection with a previous exercise by a Member of its rights under this
Section 8.4, then such Defaulting Purchaser shall also immediately cease to be
the Manager of the Company (if applicable) and shall completely forfeit its
right to participate in any manner in the direction, vote and control of the
Company thereafter, except for consent and approval rights with respect to those
matters that are reserved to a Defaulting Member in the last sentence of Section
3.9 above.

       Section 8.5 Effect Upon Transferees. Following any Transfer of the
interest or membership of any Member effective under this Agreement, the
provisions of this Article VIII shall be binding upon such transferee Member.
Any transferee of such interest who is admitted as a successor Member shall
enjoy fully the benefits and be subject to the burdens of such provisions.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, there shall at all times be and
remain only two groups of Members, the Sunrise Member Group and the Federal
Member Group. Any successor member shall be a part of the group from which it
acquired its Membership Interest. For purposes of this Section 8.4, one group
shall be required to buy all, and not less than all, of the Membership Interests
of the other group, and the other group shall be obligated to sell all, and not
less than all, of the Membership Interests constituting that group.

       Section 8.6 Qualified Organizations. Each Member other than the Federal
Member hereby represents and covenants that it is not and will not become (for
so long as it is a Member in the Company) a Qualified Organization and, further,
that no interest in such Member is or will be owned directly or indirectly or
beneficially by a Qualified Organization, for so long as such Member is a Member
in the Company; provided, however, that a Qualified Organization may own an
indirect interest in the Company through a taxable corporation. In addition to
the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Article VIII, such Member further
represents and covenants that it will not transfer or assign or permit the
transfer or assignment of all or any portion of its interest as a Member, or of
any direct or indirect interest in itself, that would result in the direct or
indirect or beneficial ownership by a Qualified Organization of any interest in
the

                                      -50-
<PAGE>   55

Company held or formerly held by or through such Member; provided, however,
that a Qualified Organization may own an indirect interest in the Company
through a taxable corporation. If any Member other than the Federal Member or
any of the holders of interests in any such Member fails to comply with the
requirements of this Section 8.6, or breach any of the representations and
covenants in connection therewith, and such failure or breach causes or
contributes to the failure of the Company to comply with the requirements of
Code Section 514(c)(9)(E) and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder,
said Member or holder shall be liable to the Company, to the Federal Member and
to any direct or indirect investors in the Federal Member for any damages
resulting directly or indirectly therefrom, including but not limited to any
unrelated business income tax incurred by the Federal Member (and its
constituent partners) with respect to its investment in the Company.

       Section 8.7 Casualty and Condemnation.

              (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 8.7(b) below, if, during
the Investment Period, any Property is damaged or destroyed by fire, casualty or
other cause (each a "Casualty") or any portion of any Property (but not all or
substantially all of the Property) shall be taken in any eminent domain,
condemnation, compulsory acquisition or similar proceeding by any competent
authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose (a "Taking"), the LLC
shall cause any such portion of the Property to be promptly repaired or
replaced.

              (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding Section
8.7(a), if the proceeds of insurance with respect to any Casualty or the
proceeds of any award with respect to any Taking (to the extent the same are
made available) are not sufficient to repair or restore the damaged or destroyed
portion of the Property following any Casualty or Taking substantially to the
same condition as existed previously and to achieve Stabilization of the
Property prior to the expiration of the Investment Period, then the LLC shall
not so repair or restore the Property unless the Members agree to do so in
writing. If there are not sufficient proceeds from any insurance claim or Taking
award to repair or restore the Property to achieve Stabilization prior to the
expiration of the Investment Period, as aforesaid, and one Member (the "Electing
Member") gives notice to the other Member (the "Non-Electing Member") that it
requests that the LLC repair and restore the Property (a "Request to Restore")
but the Non-Electing Member fails to give notice to the Electing Member within
fifteen (15) days after such Request to Restore that it consents thereto, then
the Electing Member shall have the right to purchase the Property from the LLC
for its Appraised Fair Market Value in its then condition. Such right to
purchase shall be exercisable by notice given to the Non-Electing Member at any
time within forty-five (45) days after the expiration of said fifteen (15) day
period. Upon the exercise of such right to purchase by the Electing Member, the
Appraised Fair Market Value of the Property shall be determined in accordance
with the procedures set forth in Section 8.2. The closing of the acquisition of
the Property shall occur on a date specified by the Electing Member, such date
to be no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of exercise by
the Electing Member of its right to purchase the Property. If the Electing
Member shall fail to give notice of its election to exercise its right to
purchase the Property within said forty-five (45) day period, or shall give such
notice but thereafter fail to Acquire the Property within said one hundred
eighty (180) day period for any reason other than a default of the LLC caused by
the Non-Electing Member, then either Member shall have the right to initiate the
process described above in this Section 8.7(b) at any time by delivering a
Request to Restore to the other Member.

<PAGE>   56

              (c) If no election is made pursuant to Section 8.7(b) above to buy
a Property affected by a Casualty or Taking ( a "Damaged Property"), or if an
election is made but the Damaged Property is not Acquired by the Electing
Member, then the Damaged Property shall be sold in its then-current condition,
and the proceeds of insurance, condemnation and such sale shall be distributed
pursuant to Section 5.3. In no event shall a Casualty or a Taking, or the
failure of a Member to Acquire a Damaged Property, be a trigger for a Buy/Sell
Offering Notice. The Casualty, Taking or failure to Acquire shall affect the
Damaged Property only and will result in the termination of the Lease with
respect to the Damaged Property only, without any affect on any other rights of
the Members.

shall any Property Account be commingled with any accounts of any other party.
Any investment of funds shall be made in the name of the Company or the
applicable Subsidiary and shall be consistent with investment guidelines stated

Subsidiary owning the Property (or, if none, the Company). To the extent that
the Project is funded by a Loan, any disbursements requested by the Company or
the applicable Subsidiary shall be deposited directly in the Development
Account.

              (c) The Manager shall have fiduciary responsibility for the
safekeeping and use of all funds and assets of the Company and all Subsidiaries.
The funds of the Company and each Subsidiary shall not be commingled with the
funds of any other Person and the Members shall not employ such funds in any

       Section 11.3 Special Remedies on Default by the Federal Member.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, but subject to
the provisions of Section 3.9 hereof, following an Event of Default by the
Federal Member, the Federal Member's consent shall not be required with respect
to any Major Decision, provided, however, that the consent of the Federal Member
shall continue to be required for all Major Decisions so long as (i) the Federal
Member is contesting the existence or occurrence of the Event of Default
pursuant to an arbitration proceeding under Section 12.3 hereof, and (ii) either
the Federal Member prevails in such application proceeding, or, if the Federal
Member does not prevail in such arbitration proceeding, the Federal Member cures

Federal Member, or to amend this Agreement, nor shall the Federal Member forfeit
any of its rights under Article IV, Article V (as to the right to receive
distributions), Article VI, Article VIII, or its rights to receive reports and
obtain information pursuant to Article IX or any other provision of this
Agreement, or its rights under Section 12.14. The Sunrise Member's right and
authorization to proceed on Major Decisions without the consent of the Federal
Member shall, subject to foregoing the provisions of this Section 11.3, come

<PAGE>   63

by the arbitrator selected for the Arbitration Proceeding or as otherwise
mutually agreed by the parties to the Arbitration Proceeding and in accordance
with the commercial arbitration rules of the AAA with expedited procedures in
effect on the date thereof, as modified by this Agreement. Unless expressly

              (b) The Member desiring arbitration shall provide written notice

act as the Appointed Arbitrator, the Initial Arbitrator and Secondary Arbitrator
shall deliver written notice of the name, contact information and professional
resume of the Appointed Arbitrator to each Member simultaneously. The
appointment of the Appointed Arbitrator shall be a final decision, which shall
not be subject to objection by either Member, unless either member within two
(2) Business Days after such selection of an Appointed Arbitrator, notifies the
Other Member, in writing, that such Appointed Arbitrator fails to meet the
requirements for a qualified and independent arbitrator set forth in Section
12.3(c) and provides specific information in such written notice as to the
reasons why such failure exists.

              (c) In the event the Initial Arbitrator and the Secondary
Arbitrator cannot agree on an Appointed Arbitrator or if such appointed
Arbitrator is unwilling to act as the Appointed Arbitrator or if either member
objects to the Appointed Arbitrator within two (2) Business Days after the
selection of such Appointed Arbitrator, as permitted in this Section 12.3, then
either Member may petition the AAA (or any successor body of similar function)
to appoint an arbitrator within two (2) Business Days of such petition using the
following criteria: such arbitrator shall (i) with respect to physical property
matters, a licensed professional engineer or registered architect having at
least ten (10) years experience in the design or construction of Senior Housing
Facilities, (ii) with respect to financial matters be a partner in a "Big Five
Accounting Firm" with at least ten (10) years experience with the type of matter
in dispute, (iii) with respect to property management issues, a person who shall
have had at least ten (10) years experience managing Senior Housing Facilities
similar to the properties owned by the Company in the market place for the
matter in dispute and (iv) be neutral and shall have had no prior notice,
information or discussions concerning such controversy) and shall not be
employed by or

associated with either Member or any Related Party of either of
them, or any of their respective agents or affiliates at such time or for the
previous ten (10) years.

              (d) The Arbitration Proceedings shall commence two (2) Business
Days after the engagement or appointment of the appropriate arbitrator pursuant
to this Section 12.3. Such Arbitration Proceedings shall be conducted in one (1)
day until completion, each party shall have n o more than a total of four (4)
hours to present its case and to cross-examine or interrogate persons supplying
information or documentation on behalf of the other party and the arbitrator
shall make a determination within three (3) Business Days after conclusion of
the Arbitration Proceeding.

              (e) Each Member shall sign all documents and do all other things
necessary to submit any such matter to arbitration and agree to, and hereby do,
waive any and all rights they or either of them may at any time have to revoke
their agreement hereunder to submit to arbitration and to abide by the decision
rendered thereunder.

              (f) The costs and expenses of an Arbitration Proceeding and the
arbitrators shall be shared equally by the Federal Member, the Sunrise Member,
provided, however, each Member shall pay its own counsel and other professional
fees and expenses with respect to such Arbitration proceeding. Notwithstanding
any contrary provisions hereof, if any Member has initiated two (2) unsuccessful
consecutive Arbitration Proceedings, it shall indemnify and holder harmless the
other Member for all costs and expenses incurred by such other Member with
respect to such subsequent Arbitration Proceedings initiated by it, but not for
the result of such Arbitration Proceeding; provided, however, if at any time
subsequent to such two (2) unsuccessful consecutive Arbitration proceedings,
such Member has prevailed at two (2) consecutive Arbitration Proceedings, such
indemnification shall no longer be effective until after such Member has
initiated two (2) unsuccessful consecutive Arbitration Proceedings again.

              (g) Any arbitrator's final decision and award shall be in writing,
shall be binding on the members and shall be nonappealable, and counterpart
copies thereof shall be delivered to both Members. A Judgment or order based
upon such award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. All
actions necessary to implement the decision of the arbitrator shall be
undertaken as soon as possible, but in no event later than three (3) Business
Days after the rendering of such decision.

       Section 12.4 Interpretation. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to
the principles of conflicts of law. The parties agree that except as set forth
in Section 8.2 and Section 12.3, any dispute arising in connection with this
Agreement shall be resolved in the Chancery Court in the State of Delaware, and
each party hereby submits to the jurisdiction of that court. EACH PARTY HEREBY
WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN ANY OF
THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE RIGHTS OR
OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER. The table of contents and titles of the
Articles and Sections in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not
be considered in construing this Agreement. Pronouns used herein shall be
construed to refer to the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural as
the identity of the individual or entity referred to may require. This
Agreement, together with the documents and agreements being executed on the date
hereof, constitutes the entire agreement

                                      -60-
<PAGE>   65

among the Members and supersedes any prior written or oral agreements with
respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement
(including, without limitation, any obligation of any Member to make
Contributions) shall be interpreted as bestowing any rights whatsoever upon any
third party. A cross-reference to another section shall be deemed to be to such
section of this Agreement, unless explicitly stated otherwise.

       Section 12.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original.

       Section 12.6 No Partition. No Member nor any Legal Successor of a Member
shall have the right to partition the Company or the Properties or any part
thereof or interest therein, or to file a complaint or institute any proceeding
at law or in equity to partition the Company or the Properties or any part
thereof or interest therein. Each Member, for such Member and such Member's
Legal Successor, hereby waives any such rights. The Members intend that, during
the term of this Agreement, the rights of the Members and their successors in
interest, as among themselves, shall be governed solely by the terms of this
Agreement and by the Act.

       Section 12.7 Attorney's Fees. If any Member seeks to enforce such
Member's rights under this Agreement by legal proceedings or otherwise the
non-prevailing party shall be responsible for all costs and expenses in
connection therewith, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees
and witness fees. In this Section 12.7, non-prevailing party shall not be meant
to refer to a Member who initiates or accepts a settlement offer with regards to
such legal proceeding.

       Section 12.8 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is
determined to be unenforceable for any reason, it shall be adjusted rather than
voided, if possible, to achieve the intent of the parties. In any event, all
other provisions shall be deemed valid and enforceable to the greatest possible
extent.

       Section 12.9 Binding on Successors. Subject to the provisions of Article
VIII, the rights and obligations of the Members under this Agreement shall inure
to the benefit of and bind their respective heirs, successors and assigns.

       Section 12.10 Confidentiality. Both parties hereto agree to maintain the
confidentiality of the financial terms and conditions of this Agreement and to
maintain the confidentiality of (a) any financial information provided by one
party to the other, and (b) all information contained in any plans,
specifications, manuals, forms, contracts, books, records, computer discs and
similar materials containing information, invoices and other documents received
or maintained by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, other than information
that is available from public sources. Either party may, however, disclose any
of such information to its agents, directors, officers, employees, advisors,
attorneys, affiliates or representatives who require such information for the
purpose of performing or assisting in the performance of its obligations or
services hereunder, and to investors or lenders or proposed investors or
lenders, provided that in all such cases such parties shall be informed of the
confidential nature of such information. Either party hereto may also disclose
any such information (x) to the extent required by law, regulation (including
SEC regulations) or court order provided that such party shall have first, to
the extent reasonably practicable, advised the other of the requirement to
disclose such

                                      -61-
<PAGE>   66

information and shall have afforded the other an opportunity to dispute such
requirement and seek relief therefrom by legal process, (y) in connection with
any suit, action, arbitration or other proceedings between the parties hereto or
their respective Related Parties, or (z) to the extent required in connection
with the preparation or filing of any tax returns or other filings required by
any applicable law.

       Any press releases or other public announcements concerning the Company
or the arrangement between the Members shall be mutually approved by both
Federal Member and the Sunrise Member in their reasonable discretion.

additional representations and warranties contained in Schedule 12.11 attached
hereto and made a part hereof.

       Section 12.12 Brokerage Commissions. The parties hereto represent and
warrant to each other that they have not dealt with any brokers, consultants or
other third parties in the negotiation of this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated herein. The parties further agree to indemnify, defend and hold
each other harmless from and against any liability, claim, damage, cost or
expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out
of or in connection with the claims for commissions or any other fees due in
connection with this Agreement and the transaction contemplated herein arising
from such Member's actions.

       Section 12.13 Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect
to all time or notice deadlines set forth herein; provided, however, that this
provision shall not affect the rights of any defaulting party hereunder to cure
such default within the time periods (if any) explicitly set forth herein, if
and as so permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

       Section 12.14 UBTI. The Sunrise Member acknowledges that it has been
advised that investors in the Federal Member are Qualified Organizations which
are not generally required to pay U.S. federal income tax on interest, certain
real property rents and certain other types of income. The Sunrise Member agrees
that the Federal Member shall be entitled to exercise any vote, consent,
election or other right under this Agreement with a view to avoiding (or
minimizing) any "unrelated business taxable income," within the meaning of
Section 512(a) of the Code ("UBTI"), to the Federal Member and its investors and
without regard to whether conducting the business of the Company in such manner
will maximize either pre-tax or after-tax profit of the Company to a Member (or
a direct or indirect investor therein) which is not a Qualified Organization.
Except with respect to the transactions contemplated hereunder related to the
Company's acquisition of property in accordance with Article III and Article VI,
without the prior written consent of the Federal Member, the Sunrise Member
shall not cause or permit the Company to (i) obtain financing from any seller to
the Company of any property or any individual or entity who bears a relationship
described in Code Sections 267(b) or 707(b) to any such seller, (ii) lease any
property to any seller or to any individual or entity who bears a relationship
described in Code Sections 267(b) or 707(b) to any such seller, (iii) obtain any
financing where the amount of the indebtedness or any other amount payable with
respect to the financing, or the time for making any payment, is dependent upon
any revenue, income or profits derived from any property, (iv) incur any
indebtedness which would constitute "partner

                                      -62-
<PAGE>   67

nonrecourse debt" as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(4), (v)
enter into any lease which provides for contingent rental payments unless based
upon the tenant's gross receipts, (vi) enter into any lease or other arrangement
pursuant to which it receives rents from personal property or payment for the
performance of services which would constitute UBTI, (vii) invest or hold,
directly or through one or more entities, any interest in any partnership (or
any entity treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes) if at any
time it does not comply with Code Section 514(c)(9)(E) and the Treasury
Regulations thereunder, (viii) derive income from the sale, exchange, or other
disposition of property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary
course of trade of business or (ix) otherwise engage in any business or
transaction that would result, as a result of changes in the Code or the
Regulations which are enacted or adopted subsequent to the date hereof and which
are specifically identified in writing by the Federal Member to the Sunrise
Member, in the derivation of income by the Federal Member from an "unrelated
trade or business," as defined in Code Section 513. The Federal Member shall
cooperate with the Company with respect to its compliance with this Section
12.14.

Price shall be reduced by the amount determined as shown in Exhibit G, but in no
event shall the aggregate amount of reduction exceed the amount shown as the

Buyer and Seller further agree that, for purposes of the exchange of the
Contributed Interest for the LLC Interest, the value of the Contributed Interest

        (viii)  Real estate and personal property taxes; and

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

       Buyer and Seller shall prepare a schedule (the "Proration Schedule") at
least three (3) days prior to Closing, including: (i) the items listed above,
(ii) any items which are customarily apportioned between a purchaser and seller
in the localities in which the 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. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Buyer's due diligence expenses (including the cost of preparing
surveys and title insurance premiums) payable in connection with the
transactions contemplated herein shall be paid by Buyer, provided that transfer
taxes shall be paid in accordance with Section 9.4.

       (b) Any escrow accounts held by any utility companies, and any cash
deposits made by Seller prior to Closing to secure obligations under contracts
which will continue after Closing, shall be either paid to the Seller or, if
assigned to Buyer, Seller shall receive a credit at Closing for any such
deposits.

       (c) The applicable Lessee shall receive all income from the Facilities
attributable to the period from and after the Proration Date and Lessee and
Buyer shall be responsible for all expenses of the Facilities attributable to
the period from and after the Proration Date. In the event Seller receives any
payment from a resident for rent due for any period from and after the Proration
Date, Seller shall forward such payment to the applicable Lessee. In addition,
in the event Seller has received any pre-paid rent or any security deposits from
a resident for any period from and after the Proration Date, Seller shall
forward such pre-paid rent and or security deposits to the applicable Lessee.

       (d) The parties agree that any amounts which may become due under this
Section 2.6 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 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

                                       10
<PAGE>   11

due after such determination shall be forwarded at the time they are received.
Any amounts due under this Section 2.6 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.
Seller, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, agrees that Federal Street
Operating, LLC, a member of Buyer, shall have the right to audit the records of
Seller in connection with any such post-closing reconciliation.

of Lessee's right to collect the Receivables after Closing. Such adjustment
payment shall be in an amount equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the
Receivables outstanding as of the Closing Date. Seller agrees that during the
term of this Agreement, it shall continue to use usual and customary procedures
to collect the Receivables.

knowledge which has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

       6.9    Reasonable Best Efforts. Subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, each party will use its reasonable best efforts to take all
action and to do all things necessary, proper or advisable to satisfy any
condition hereunder in its power to satisfy and to consummate and make effective
as soon as practicable the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

       6.10   Health Department Reports. Seller shall file, or cause its
Affiliates to file, on a current and timely basis and in all material respects
in a truthful and complete fashion until the Closing Date, all reports and
documents required to be filed with the Health Department with respect to the
Facilities.

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

use, and shall cause Operator to use diligent efforts to promptly cooperate with
Buyer and its Affiliates to have the Licenses reissued, if reasonably necessary,
in the names of the appropriate Lessee, or such other party as Buyer may direct.
This covenant of Seller shall survive Closing indefinitely. In the event that
the Licenses are not transferred to, or reissued in the name of, Lessee or such
other party as Buyer may direct (such transfer or reissuance being hereafter
referred to as the "License Transfer"), on or prior to September 30, 2000, and
such failure is not due to any act, omission, condition, or characteristic of
Buyer, Lessee, the member of Lessee or any subsidiary or Affiliate (other than
Affiliates of Seller) of Buyer, then such failure shall constitute a material
default of Seller hereunder. Furthermore, it shall be a material default of
Seller hereunder if a Material Adverse Effect is (i) suffered prior to the
License Transfer, (ii) as a result of the failure of the License Transfer to
occur prior to the occurrence of such Material Adverse Effect, and (iii) not due
to any act, omission, condition, or characteristic of Buyer, Lessee, the member
of Lessee or any subsidiary or Affiliate (other than Affiliates of Seller) of
Buyer.

            CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO THE OBLIGATION OF BUYER TO CLOSE

        Buyer's obligation to close the acquisition of the Sale Assets pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement is subject to the satisfaction, on or prior to

writing:

       7.1    Accuracy of Representations and Warranties; Closing Certificate.

              (a) The representations and warranties of Seller 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 Closing Date with same effect as though
made at such time except for changes permitted hereunder.

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

Closing Date.

                                       22
<PAGE>   23

       7.3    Title Insurance and Survey.

              (a) Within five (5) days after the execution of this Agreement,
Buyer, at its expense, shall order commitments for 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 Buyer deems adequate, merchantable title to the Real Property
in the name of Buyer or its wholly-owned subsidiaries, as the case may be, free
from the Schedule B standard printed exceptions and all other exceptions except
Permitted Exceptions (as defined below). Such Title Commitments shall have
attached thereto complete, legible copies of all instruments noted as exceptions
therein. The Title Commitments shall be updated prior to the Closing to reflect
the state of the title not more than ten (10) days prior to the Closing. Buyer
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 Buyer in Buyer's
reasonable discretion, or (2) the Survey delivered to Buyer pursuant to Section
7.3(d) below discloses any state of fact not acceptable to Buyer in Buyer's
reasonable discretion, 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 Buyer in
Buyer's sole discretion (any such exception or unacceptable state of fact being
referred to herein as a "Title Defect"), then Buyer shall, within ten (10) days
following receipt of the Title Commitments or discovery of the Title Defect, as
the case may be, give Seller 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. Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, within ten (10)
days after receipt of any such Title Notice, to use its reasonable efforts to
remove such Title Defect. If Seller elects to do so, then, on or before the
Closing, Seller shall provide Buyer with reasonable evidence of such removal or
provide reasonable evidence that such Title Defect will be removed.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Seller shall be
obligated (or shall cause its Affiliates) to expend whatever sums are reasonably
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;

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

                                       23
<PAGE>   24

              (c) In the event Seller is unable or elects not to cure any Title
Defect within such period, Buyer shall have the option to (i) waive any Title
Defect and proceed to Closing or (ii) terminate this Agreement.

              (d) Within five (5) days after the execution of this Agreement,
Buyer, at Buyer's expense, shall order boundary surveys for each parcel of the
Real Property (the "Survey" or "Surveys") prepared by a registered land surveyor
or surveyors satisfactory to Buyer. The Survey shall (1) be completed in
accordance with Buyer's reasonable survey requirements, and shall be certified
to Seller, Buyer, and the Title Insurer by such surveyor; (2) have one perimeter
description for the Real Property on which each of the 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 Buyer, Buyer shall promptly furnish a copy of same
to Seller.

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

       7.4    Other Inspections. During the due diligence period, at reasonable
times and upon reasonable notice, Buyer or Buyer's agent(s) shall have the
right, at Buyer's expense, to employ one or more consultants or other
professionals to perform or complete such inspections and assessments of the
Real Property and Improvements as Buyer 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. Buyer
shall cause its inspectors and/or consultants to deliver to Seller a copy of
each such inspection report at the time such report(s) are delivered to Buyer. A
failure by Buyer to perform any inspections or assessments shall not relieve
Buyer of its obligation to proceed to Closing under this Agreement.

       7.5    Delivery of Closing Documents. Seller shall have delivered or
caused to be delivered to Buyer on the Closing Date each of the documents
required to be delivered pursuant to Section 9.2.

       7.6    Facility Leases. The Buyer (or its wholly-owned subsidiaries)
shall have entered into the Facility Leases.

       7.7    Licenses.

              (a) All Licenses shall have been issued as to all Facilities and
shall have, or will upon Closing, become effective under the rules of the
applicable Health Department and applicable law.

              (b) Conditions which the Licenses or any order, ruling or decree
of any judicial or administrative body specifies and requires to be satisfied
prior to issuance of License shall have been satisfied.

                                    ARTICLE X
                                 INDEMNIFICATION

       10.1   Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements in this Agreement or any other Document shall survive the Closing for
a period of one (1) year. 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)
Buyer is notified of the untruth of any representation or warranty made by
Seller hereunder by (i) written notice from Seller (which notice shall refer to
the representation or warranty which is untrue) or (ii) the professional written
reports and studies prepared by Buyer as part of Buyer's due diligence, and (b)
Buyer nevertheless elects to close under this Agreement, then Buyer shall be
deemed to have waived the breach in question and shall not assert any
post-closing claim against Seller with respect to that breach.

       10.2   Indemnification by Seller and SALII. Seller and SALII shall
indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Buyer and its 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 Seller of any of its representations,
warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement or any other Document; or

                                       28
<PAGE>   29

              (b) Any obligation, indebtedness or liability of Seller other than
(i) the Owner Obligations and (ii) obligations, indebtedness or liabilities to
the extent an adjustment is made to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.6.
Subject to the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the obligations, indebtedness and
liabilities of Seller hereunder shall include, but not be limited to, (a) claims
by state or federal governmental agencies for repayment of claims for
reimbursement of costs, regardless of whether disclosed to Buyer and regardless
whether constituting a breach by Seller of any representation, warranty,
covenant or agreement hereunder or under any other Document, and (b) all claims
and causes of action held by Seller against third parties, or held by any third
party against Seller, which claims or causes of action accrued prior to the
Closing Date, regardless of whether constituting a breach by Seller of any
representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement hereunder; or

              (c) Noncompliance by Seller with the provisions of the Bulk Sales
Act, if such act applies, in connection with the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement.

       10.3   Indemnification by Buyer. Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless
Seller and its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives,
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:

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

              (b) All Assumed Obligations; or

              (c) Lessee's operation of the Facilities on or after the Closing
Date.

       10.4   Administration of Indemnification. For purposes of administering
the indemnification provisions set forth in Sections 10.2 and 10.3, 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,

                                       29
<PAGE>   30

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, 10.3, 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 prior to
              Closing:

              (a) By Buyer during the Due Diligence Period or as otherwise
permitted by this Agreement; or

              (b) By written agreement of Seller and Buyer.

       11.2   Remedies upon Default. If Seller materially defaults on any of its
obligations hereunder, and such default continues for ten (10) business days
after written notice thereof specifying such default, Buyer may, as its sole
remedy hereunder, by serving notice in writing to the Seller in the manner
provided in this Agreement, either:

              (a) Terminate this Agreement and declare it null and void (in
                  which event Seller shall pay to Buyer the reasonable,
                  out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in
                  connection with the transactions contemplated hereby); or

                                       30
<PAGE>   31

              (b)           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 Purchase Price and
                            without any further claim against the Seller
                            therefor.

       11.3   Specific Performance. The parties acknowledge that the Facilities
are of a special, unique and extraordinary character, and that damages alone are
an inadequate remedy for a breach of this Agreement by either party.
Accordingly, as an alternative to termination of this Agreement under Section
11.2, Buyer shall be entitled, in the event of a breach by Seller, to
enforcement of this Agreement (subject to obtaining any required approval of the
Health Department) by a decree of specific performance or injunctive relief
requiring Seller to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement. Such right of
specific performance or injunctive relief shall be in lieu of Buyer's right to
recover damages and to pursue any other remedies available to Buyer for Seller's
breach. In any action to specifically enforce the Seller's obligation to close
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Seller shall waive the defense
that there is an adequate remedy at law or in equity and agrees that the Buyer
shall be entitled to obtain specific performance of the Seller's obligation to
close without being required to prove actual damages. As a condition to seeking
specific performance, Buyer shall tender the Purchase Price.

       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 11 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 11,
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.

contemplated hereby.

       13.1   Further Actions. From time to time before, at and after the

the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, shall be paid by Buyer. All
other Taxes shall be paid by the party primarily liable under applicable law to
pay such Tax.

       13.4   Entire Agreement. This Agreement, Exhibits and the other Documents
constitute the entire agreement and understanding between the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any prior negotiations,
agreements, understandings or arrangements between the parties hereto with
respect to the subject matter hereof.

       13.5   Binding Effect; Benefits. Except as otherwise provided herein,
this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties
hereto and their respective successors or permitted assigns. Except to the
extent specified herein, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, shall
confer on any person other than the parties hereto and their respective
successors or permitted assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities
under or by reason of this Agreement.

       13.6   Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights,
interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned by either party without the
prior written consent of the other party, provided that Buyer

                                       33
<PAGE>   34

may assign all of its rights under this Agreement to an Affiliate, provided that
(i) the representations and warranties of Buyer hereunder shall be true and
correct in all material respects as applied to the assignee, (ii) both Buyer and
the assignee shall execute and deliver to Seller a written instrument in form
and substance satisfactory to Seller within their reasonable judgment in which
both Buyer and the assignee agree to be jointly and severally liable for
performance of all of Buyer's obligations under this Agreement, and (iii) Buyer
and the assignee shall deliver such other documents and instruments as
reasonably requested by Seller, including appropriate certified resolutions of
the boards of directors of Buyer and the assignee.

       13.7   Governing Law. This Agreement shall in all respects be governed by
and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia
without regard to its principles of conflicts of laws, provided, however, that,
in the event Seller or Buyer breach this agreement and such breach relates to a
particular Facility, neither Seller nor Buyer shall be precluded from exercising
any rights or remedies which it may have under the laws of the jurisdiction in
which such Facility is located. For purposes of illustration only, if Seller
were to breach its obligation to convey the Fairfield Facility to Buyer, then
Buyer would not be precluded from seeking specific performance under New Jersey
law.

       13.8   Amendments and Waivers. No term or provision of this Agreement may
be amended, waived, discharged or terminated orally but only by an instrument in
writing signed by the party against whom the enforcement of such amendment,
waiver, discharge or termination is sought. Any waiver shall be effective only
in accordance with its express terms and conditions.

       13.9   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.

       13.10  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.

       13.11  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.

       13.12  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.

       13.13  Exhibits. Unless otherwise specified herein, each Exhibit referred
to in this Agreement is attached hereto, and each such Exhibit is hereby
incorporated by reference and made a part hereof as if fully set forth herein.

       13.14  Attorneys' Fees. In the event either party brings an action to
enforce or interpret any of the provisions of this Agreement, the "prevailing
party" in such action 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.

       13.15  Section 1031 Exchange. 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 Seller of any
liability for Seller's obligations hereunder, shall not cause Buyer to incur any
liability or additional expense therefor or be required to take title to any
other property, and shall not cause Buyer (except for customary consent to
assignment of this Agreement to an exchange intermediary) to incur obligations
to any third parties.

       13.16  Closing Affidavits. Seller 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, including
without limitation, non-imputation affidavits.

       13.17. Joint and Several. Each Seller shall be jointly and severally
liable with the other Sellers for performing all obligations of Seller under
this Agreement.

       13.18  Casualty and Condemnation.

              (a) The risk of any loss or damage to the Facilities by fire or
other casualty before the Closing shall continue to be borne by Seller. Seller
shall promptly give Buyer 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 Buyer does not elect to cancel this Agreement as
hereinafter provided, Seller shall repair the damage at its sole cost and
expense before the Closing Date or, in the alternative, make an appropriate
reduction in the purchase price 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, Buyer, at any time thereafter, by written notice to Seller, shall
have the option to cancel this Agreement. 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
Buyer so elects to cancel this Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate and be
of no further force and effect and neither party shall have any liability to the
other hereunder, except as may be otherwise set forth herein with regard to
surviving provisions.

<PAGE>   36

              (b) The risk of any loss or damage to the Facilities by
condemnation before the Closing Date shall continue to be borne by Seller. In
the event any condemnation proceeding is commenced or threatened, Seller shall
promptly give Buyer 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 Seller may have knowledge. As soon thereafter as the
portion or portions of the Facility to be taken are reasonably determinable,
Seller shall give Buyer written notice thereof ("Seller's Notice") together with
Seller'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 Facility, Buyer, by written notice
to Seller at any time thereafter, shall have the option to cancel this
Agreement, in which event this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further
force and effect and neither party shall have any liability to the other
hereunder, except as may be otherwise set forth herein with regard to surviving
provisions. If Buyer shall not so elect to cancel this Agreement, then the sale
of Owned Assets shall be consummated as herein provided at the purchase price
provided for herein (without abatement) and Seller shall pay over to Buyer at
the Closing all amounts theretofore received by Seller in connection with such
condemnation or insurance received therefore. Buyer shall be entitled to
participate in any such condemnation proceeding and Seller shall cooperate with
Buyer in such respect.

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