                             AMENDMENT NO. ONE TO
               2001 STOCK-OPTION PLAN FOR NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS
               -------------------------------------------------

          THIS AMENDMENT NO. ONE ("Amendment") to the Kindred Healthcare, Inc.
2001 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the "Plan") is adopted on the
21st day of June, 2001.

          Reason for Amendment.  This Amendment is intended to allow for certain
          --------------------
transfers of options granted thereunder by optionees to the entities that
nominated such optionees to serve on the Board, effective as of the date hereof.

          Amendment.  Section 4.3 of the Plan is hereby replaced in its entirety
          ---------
with the following:

               4.3  Restrictions on Transferability of Options. During the
          lifetime of the Optionee, each Option shall be exercisable only by the
          Optionee and is non-transferable and will not be subject in any manner
          to sale, transfer, alienation, pledge, encumbrance or charge;
          provided, however, that in the event a Non-Employee Director eligible
          --------
          to receive an Option was nominated to or chosen to serve on the Board
          pursuant to an arrangement between the Company and another Person,
          such Non-Employee Director may, upon notice in writing to the Board,
          direct the initial issuance of the Option (and any subsequent
          issuances of any Option) to such other Person (irrespective of Section
          4.1) or transfer his Option to such other Person (following an
          issuance or transfer under such circumstances, such other Person shall
          be a "Permitted Transferee"). In addition, upon the death of the
          Optionee, such Optionee's Options shall be transferable to his
          beneficiaries or his estate (such beneficiary or estate shall also be
          referred to herein as a "Permitted Transferee"). Following such
          issuance or transfer, any such Option shall continue to be subject to
          the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to
          transfer, provided that for purposes of the Plan (excluding Section
                    --------
          4.2) the term "Optionee" shall be deemed to refer to the Permitted
          Transferee. The provisions of Section 4.2 concerning the termination
          of an Option shall continue to apply following any issuance or
          transfer permitted by this Section 4.3 based on the status of the
          original Optionee. Accordingly, any such Option shall be exercisable
          by the Permitted Transferee only to the extent, and for the periods,
          specified in the Option Agreement or this Plan.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Kindred Healthcare, Inc. has executed this
instrument on the date first above written.

                                    KINDRED HEALTHCARE, INC.

         WHEREAS, the Debtors' Plan of Reorganization as confirmed by the Court
 provides, inter alia, for the Borrower and certain of its subsidiaries to enter

 such subsidiaries after the Effective Date;

         WHEREAS, in connection with the foregoing and the continuing business
 of itself and its Restricted Subsidiaries, the Borrower has requested a
 $120,000,000 revolving credit facility;

         WHEREAS, the Borrower proposes to use the proceeds of said revolving

other general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries
after the Closing Date, including without limitation, to make any payments

will not be paid in full on the Effective Date;

         WHEREAS, the obligations of the Borrower under the foregoing facility
and certain interest rate hedging arrangements are to be (a) secured by

to the Administrative Agent such Lender's share of such Borrowing, the

to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with

from the day such amount is made available to the Borrower until the day such
amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the

interest rate applicable thereto pursuant to Section 2.05, and (ii) in the case
of such Lender, a rate per annum equal to (x) for each day from the day such
amount is made available to the Borrower to the third succeeding Business Day,
inclusive, the Federal Funds Rate for such day as determined by the
Administrative Agent and (y) for each day thereafter until the day such amount

Administrative Agent shall forward such Note to such Lender. Each Lender shall
record the date, amount and Interest Type of each Loan made by it and the date
and amount of each payment of principal made by the Borrower with respect
thereto, and may, in connection with any transfer or enforcement of its Note,
endorse on the schedule forming a part thereof appropriate notations to evidence
the foregoing information with respect to the then outstanding Loans evidenced
by such Note; provided that neither the failure of any Lender to make any such
recordation or endorsement nor any error therein shall affect the obligations of
the Borrower under any Financing Document. Each Lender is hereby irrevocably
authorized by the Borrower and the Guarantors so to endorse its Note and to
attach to and make a part of its Note a continuation of any such schedule as and
when required.

term comparable to such Interest Period; provided that, if more than one rate is

in accordance with the preceding sentence on the basis of the comparable rate or
rates appearing on Reuters Screen LIBO Page.

     convert such Loans to Euro-Dollar Loans as of any Euro-Dollar Business Day;
     provided that notice of such election may not be given if an Event of
     Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the third Euro-Dollar
     Business Day before such conversion is to be effective; and

          (ii)  if such Loans are Euro-Dollar Loans, the Borrower may elect to
     convert such Loans to Base Rate Loans or elect to continue such Loans as
     Euro-Dollar Loans for an additional Interest Period, in each case effective
     on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such
     Loans.

Each such election shall be made by delivering a notice substantially in the
form of Exhibit P (a "Notice of Interest Rate Election") to the Administrative
Agent not later than 12:00 Noon (Eastern Time) on the third Euro-Dollar Business
Day before the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be
effective. A Notice of Interest Rate Election may, if it so specifies, apply to
only a portion of the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Group of Loans;
provided that (i) such portion is allocated ratably among the Loans comprising
such Group, (ii) the portion to which such notice applies, and the remaining
portion to which it does not apply, are each at least $5,000,000 (if such
portion is to be comprised of Euro-Dollar Loans) or at least $1,000,000 (if
such portion is to be comprised of Base Rate Loans) and (iii) immediately after
giving effect to such Notice of Interest Rate Election, there shall be no more
than eight Groups of Loans (other than Base Rate Loans) outstanding hereunder.

     (b)  Each Notice of Interest Rate Election shall specify:

          (i)   the Group of Loans (or portion thereof) to which such notice
     applies, including the Interest Type of such Loans;

          (ii)  the date on which the conversion or continuation selected in
     such notice is to be effective, which shall comply with the applicable
     clause of Section 2.06(a);

          (iii) if the Loans comprising such Group are to be converted, the new
     Interest Type of such Loans and, if such Loans are to be converted to Euro-
     Dollar Loans, the duration of the initial Interest Period applicable
     thereto; and

          (iv)  if such Loans are to be continued as Euro-Dollar Loans for an
     additional Interest Period, the duration of such additional Interest
     Period.

                                      50
<PAGE>

Each Interest Period specified in a Notice of Interest Rate Election shall
comply with the provisions of the definition of Interest Period.

          (c) Upon receipt of a Notice of Interest Rate Election from the
Borrower pursuant to Section 2.06(a), the Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each Lender of the contents thereof and such notice shall not thereafter
be revocable by the Borrower. If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Notice
of Interest Rate Election to the Administrative Agent for any Group of
Euro-Dollar Loans, such Loans shall be converted to Base Rate Loans on the last
day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto.

         SECTION 2.07. Letters of Credit. (a) Issuance of Letters of Credit.
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, any LC Issuing
Bank may, but shall not be obligated to, issue a letter of credit at the request
of the Borrower pursuant to this subsection, from time to time during the period
from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date that is 30 days
before the Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided that, immediately after
each such letter of credit is issued and participations therein are sold to the
Lenders as provided in this subsection:

                   (i) the Aggregate LC Exposure shall not exceed $40,000,000;

                  (ii) in the case of each Lender, its Outstanding Amount shall
         not exceed its Commitment; and

                 (iii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all the Lenders shall
         not exceed the Borrowing Base then in effect.

Upon the issuance by any LC Issuing Bank of a Letter of Credit pursuant to this
subsection, such LC Issuing Bank shall be deemed, without further action by any
party hereto, to have sold to each other Lender, and each such Lender shall be
deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have purchased from such
LC Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit, on the terms
specified in this Section, equal to such Lender's Percentage thereof.

          (b) Expiry Dates. No Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date later
than the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date that is one year after
such Letter of Credit is issued (or, in the case of any renewal or extension
thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is the
fifth Business Day before the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

          (c) Notice of Proposed Issuance. With respect to each Letter of
Credit, the Borrower shall give the relevant LC Issuing Bank and the
Administrative Agent at least three Business Days' prior notice (i) specifying
the date such Letter

                                      51
<PAGE>

of Credit is to be issued, (ii) specifying the amount (which shall not be less
than $50,000) and describing the proposed terms of such Letter of Credit and the
nature of the transactions proposed to be supported thereby and (iii) specifying
the Account Party for such Letter of Credit, which may be any Vencor Company or
any partnership in which any Vencor Company is a general partner or any other
entity managed by a Vencor Company.

          (d) Conditions to Issuance. No LC Issuing Bank shall issue any Letter
of Credit unless:

                   (i) such Letter of Credit shall be satisfactory in form and
         substance to such LC Issuing Bank;

                  (ii) the Borrower shall have executed and delivered such other
         instruments and agreements relating to such Letter of Credit as such LC
         Issuing Bank shall have reasonably requested;

                 (iii) if the Account Party for such Letter of Credit is not the
         Borrower, such Account Party shall have executed and delivered such
         other instruments and agreements relating to such Letter of Credit as
         such LC Issuing Bank shall have reasonably requested;

                 (iv) such LC Issuing Bank shall have confirmed with the
         Administrative Agent on the date of such issuance that the limitations
         specified in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 2.07(a) will not be
         exceeded immediately after such Letter of Credit is issued; and

                  (v) such LC Issuing Bank shall not have been notified in
         writing by any Vencor Company, any Agent or the Required Lenders
         expressly to the effect that any condition specified in clause (ii) or
         (iii) of Section 3.02 is not satisfied at the time such Letter of
         Credit is to be issued.

         (e)   Notice of Proposed Extensions of Expiry Dates. The relevant LC
Issuing Bank or the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at least three
Business Days' notice before such LC Issuing Bank extends (or allows an
automatic extension of) the expiry date of any Letter of Credit issued by it
(whether such extension results from a request therefor by the Borrower or, in
the case of an Evergreen Letter of Credit, from the absence of a request by the
Borrower for the termination thereof). Such notice shall (i) identify such
Letter of Credit, (ii) specify the date on which such extension is to be made
(or the last day on which such LC Issuing Bank can give notice to prevent such
extension from occurring) and (iii) specify the date to which such expiry date
is to be so extended. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents thereof. No LC Issuing Bank
shall extend (or allow the

                                      52
<PAGE>

extension of) the expiry date of any Letter of Credit if (x) the extended expiry
date would be after (A) the date that is one year after the date on which such
Letter of Credit is to be extended or (B) the date that is the fifth Business
Day before the Revolving Credit Termination Date or (y) such LC Issuing Bank
shall have been notified by any Vencor Company, any Agent or the Required
Lenders expressly to the effect that any condition specified in clause (ii) or
(iii) of Section 3.02 is not satisfied at the time such Letter of Credit is to
be extended.

          (f) Notice of Actual Issuances and Extensions. Promptly upon issuing
any Letter of Credit or extending any Letter of Credit (or allowing any
Evergreen Letter of Credit to be extended), the relevant LC Issuing Bank will
notify the Administrative Agent of the date of such Letter of Credit, the amount
thereof, the beneficiary or beneficiaries thereof and the expiry date or
extended expiry date thereof. Upon receipt of such notice the Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents thereof and the amount
of such Lender's participation in the relevant Letter of Credit. Promptly upon
issuing any Letter of Credit, the relevant LC Issuing Bank will send a copy of
such Letter of Credit to the Administrative Agent.

          (g) Fees. (i) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for
the account of the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective
Percentages, a letter of credit fee, calculated for each day at the LC Fee Rate,
on the aggregate amount available for drawings (whether or not conditions for
drawing thereunder have been satisfied) under all Letters of Credit outstanding
at the close of business on such day. Such letter of credit fee shall be payable
with respect to each Letter of Credit in arrears on the last Business Day of
each calendar month for so long as such Letter of Credit is outstanding and on
the final expiry date thereof. The Borrower shall pay to each LC Issuing Bank a
fronting fee which shall accrue at the rate of 0.25% per annum on the average
daily amount available for drawings (whether or not the conditions for drawing
thereunder have been satisfied) on all Letters of Credit issued by it
outstanding during the period from the Closing Date to the later of the date on
which the Commitments terminate and the date on which there ceases to be any
Aggregate LC Exposure, as well as such LC Issuing Bank's standard and reasonable
fees with respect to issuing, amending, renewing or extending any Letter of
Credit or processing drawings thereunder. Such fronting fee shall be payable to
each LC Issuing Bank in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar month,
commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date; provided that
all fronting fees accrued to the date on which the Commitments terminate in
their entirety will be payable on such date, and any such fees accruing after
such date will be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to any LC Issuing
Bank pursuant to this subsection will be payable within 10 days after demand.

                                      53
<PAGE>

                  (ii) (A) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default of the
         type referred to in Section 8.01(a), 8.01(b) or 8.01(n) or (B) after
         the continuance for seven consecutive days of any other Event of
         Default, then for so long as such Event of Default shall be continuing
         and not waived, the letter of credit fee referred to in clause (i)
         shall be increased by an additional 2.5% per annum for each day until
         such Event of Default has been cured, and such fee shall be payable on
         demand.

          (h) Drawings. Upon receiving a demand for payment under any Letter of
Credit from the beneficiary thereof, the relevant LC Issuing Bank shall
determine in accordance with the terms of such Letter of Credit whether such
demand for payment should be honored. If such LC Issuing Bank determines that
any such demand for payment should be honored, such LC Issuing Bank shall (i)
promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent as to the amount to be
paid by such LC Issuing Bank as a result of such demand and the date on which
such amount is to be paid (an "LC Payment Date") and (ii) on such LC Payment
Date make available to such beneficiary in accordance with the terms of such
Letter of Credit the amount of the drawing under such Letter of Credit.

          (i) Reimbursement and Other Payments by the Borrower. If any amount is
drawn under any Letter of Credit:

                   (i) the Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to
         reimburse the relevant LC Issuing Bank for all amounts paid by such LC
         Issuing Bank upon such drawing, together with any and all reasonable
         charges and expenses which such LC Issuing Bank may pay or incur
         relative to such drawing and interest on the amount drawn at the rate
         applicable to Base Rate Loans for each day from and including the date
         such amount is drawn to but excluding the date such reimbursement
         payment is due and payable. Such reimbursement payment shall be due and
         payable at or before 3:00 P.M. (Eastern Time) (x) on the relevant LC
         Payment Date if such LC Issuing Bank notifies the Borrower of such
         drawing before 11:00 A.M. (Eastern Time) on such date or (y) on the
         date such notice is given, if such notice is given after the LC Payment
         Date; provided that any notice given to the Borrower after 11:00 A.M.
         (Eastern Time) on any day shall be deemed for purposes of the foregoing
         clause (y) to have been given on the next succeeding Business Day; and

                  (ii) in addition, the Borrower agrees to pay to the relevant
         LC Issuing Bank interest on any and all amounts not paid by the
         Borrower when due hereunder with respect to a Letter of Credit, for
         each day from and including the date when such amount becomes due to
         but excluding the date such amount is paid in full, payable on demand,
         at a rate per

                                      54
<PAGE>

         annum equal to the sum of 2.5% plus the rate applicable to Base Rate
         Loans for such day.

Each payment to be made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.07(i) shall
be made to the relevant LC Issuing Bank in Federal or other funds immediately
available to it at its address specified in or pursuant to Section 11.01.

         (j) Payments by Lenders with Respect to Letters of Credit. If the
Borrower fails to reimburse the relevant LC Issuing Bank as and when required by
Section 2.07(i) above for all or any portion of any amount drawn under a Letter
of Credit issued by it:

                   (i) such LC Issuing Bank may notify the Administrative Agent
         of such unreimbursed amount and request that the Lenders reimburse such
         LC Issuing Bank for their respective Percentages thereof. Upon
         receiving any such notice from an LC Issuing Bank, the Administrative
         Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the unreimbursed amount and
         such Lender's Percentage thereof. Upon receiving such notice from the
         Administrative Agent, each Lender shall make available to such LC
         Issuing Bank, at its address specified in or pursuant to Section 11.01,
         an amount equal to such Lender's Percentage of such unreimbursed amount
         as set forth in such notice, in Federal or other funds immediately
         available to such LC Issuing Bank, by 3:00 P.M. (Eastern Time) (A) on
         the day such Lender receives such notice if it is received at or before
         12:00 Noon (Eastern Time) on such day or (B) on the first Business Day
         following such Lender's receipt of such notice if it is received after
         12:00 Noon (Eastern Time) on the date of receipt, in each case together
         with interest on such amount for each day from and including the
         relevant LC Payment Date to but excluding the day such payment is due
         from such Lender at the Federal Funds Rate for such day. Upon payment
         in full thereof, such Lender shall be subrogated to the rights of such
         LC Issuing Bank against the Borrower to the extent of such Lender's
         Percentage of the related LC Reimbursement Obligation (including
         interest accrued thereon). Nothing in this Section 2.07(j) shall affect
         any rights any Lender may have against any LC Issuing Bank for any
         action or omission for which such LC Issuing Bank is not indemnified
         under Section 2.07(n); and

                  (ii) if any Lender fails to pay any amount required to be paid
         by it pursuant to Section 2.07(j)(i) on the date on which such payment
         is due, interest shall accrue on such Lender's obligation to make such
         payment, for each day from and including the date such payment became
         due to but excluding the date such Lender makes such payment, at a rate
         per annum equal to (x) for each day from the day such payment is due to
         the third succeeding Business Day, inclusive, the Federal Funds Rate
         for such day

                                      55
<PAGE>

          as determined by the relevant LC Issuing Bank and (y) for each day
          thereafter the Base Rate for such day. Any payment made by any Lender
          after 3:00 P.M. (Eastern Time) on any Business Day shall be deemed for
          purposes of the preceding sentence to have been made on the next
          succeeding Business Day.

If the Borrower shall reimburse any LC Issuing Bank for any drawing with respect
to which any Lender shall have made funds available to such LC Issuing Bank in
accordance with Section 2.07(j)(i), such LC Issuing Bank shall promptly upon
receipt of such reimbursement distribute to such Lender its pro rata share
thereof, including interest, to the extent received by such LC Issuing Bank.

          (k) Increased Cost and Reduced Return. If, on or after the date
hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in
any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable
agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance
by any Lender or LC Issuing Bank with any request or directive (whether or not
having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable
agency, shall impose, modify or deem applicable any tax, reserve, special
deposit or similar requirement against or with respect to or measured by
reference to letters of credit or participations therein, and the result of any
of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or LC Issuing Bank of
issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or any participation therein, or to
reduce any amount receivable by any Lender or LC Issuing Bank under this Section
2.07 in respect of any Letter of Credit or any participation therein (which
increase in cost, or reduction in amount receivable, shall be the result of such
Lender's or LC Issuing Bank's reasonable allocation of the aggregate of such
increases or reductions resulting from such event), then, within 15 days after
demand by such Lender or LC Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), the Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender or LC Issuing Bank, from time
to time as specified by such Lender or LC Issuing Bank, such additional amounts
as shall be sufficient to compensate such Lender or LC Issuing Bank for such
increased cost or reduction. A certificate of such Lender or LC Issuing Bank
submitted to the Borrower pursuant to this subsection and setting forth the
additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in
the absence of manifest error.

          (l) Exculpatory Provisions. The Borrower's obligations under this
Section 2.07 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances
and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the
Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Account Party may have or have had against
any LC Issuing Bank, any Lender, the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any
other Person. The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any
beneficiary of any Letter of Credit with respect to the use of such Letter of

                                               56
<PAGE>

Credit by such beneficiary. None of the LC Issuing Banks, the Lenders and their
respective officers, directors, employees and agents shall be responsible for,
and the obligations of each Lender to make payments to each LC Issuing Bank and
of the Borrower to reimburse each LC Issuing Bank for drawings pursuant to this
Section (except to the extent such obligations result from the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of the relevant LC Issuing Bank) shall not be excused or
affected by, among other things, (i) the use which may be made of any Letter of
Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection
therewith; (ii) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents presented
under any Letter of Credit or of any endorsements thereon, even if such
documents should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid,
insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (iii) payment by any LC Issuing Bank against
presentation of documents to it which do not comply with the terms of the
relevant Letter of Credit or (iv) any dispute between or among any of the Vencor
Companies or their Affiliates, the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any
other Person or any claims or defenses whatsoever of any of the Vencor Companies
or their Affiliates or any other Person against the beneficiary of any Letter of
Credit. No LC Issuing Bank shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption
or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however
transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit. Any action taken or
omitted by any LC Issuing Bank or any Lender under or in connection with any
Letter of Credit and the related drafts and documents, if done without willful
misconduct or gross negligence, shall be binding upon the Borrower and shall not
place any LC Issuing Bank or any Lender under any liability to any Vencor
Company.

         (m) Reliance, Etc. Subject to Section 2.07(d), each LC Issuing Bank
shall be entitled (but not obligated) to rely, and shall be fully protected in
relying, on the representation and warranty by the Borrower set forth in the
last sentence of Section 3.02 to establish whether the conditions specified in
clauses (iii) and (iv) of Section 3.02 are met in connection with any issuance
or extension of a Letter of Credit. The rights and obligations of each LC
Issuing Bank under each Letter of Credit issued by it shall be governed by the
provisions thereof and the provisions of the UCP and/or UCC referred to therein
or otherwise applicable thereto.

         (n) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless each Lender, each LC Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent
and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees (collectively,
the "LC Indemnitees") from and against any and all claims, damages, losses,
liabilities, costs or expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable
fees and disbursements of counsel) which such LC Indemnitee may reasonably incur
(or which may be claimed against any such LC Indemnitee by any Person) by reason
of or in connection with the execution and delivery or transfer of or payment or
failure to pay under any Letter of Credit or any actual or proposed use of any

                                               57
<PAGE>

Letter of Credit, including any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or
expenses which any LC Issuing Bank may incur by reason of or in connection with
the failure of any Lender to fulfill or comply with its obligations to such LC
Issuing Bank hereunder in connection with any Letter of Credit (but nothing
herein contained shall affect any rights the Borrower may have against any such
defaulting Lender); provided that the Borrower shall not be required to
indemnify any LC Indemnitee for any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs
or expenses to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by (i) the willful
misconduct or gross negligence of any LC Issuing Bank in determining whether a
request presented under any Letter of Credit issued by it complied with the
terms of such Letter of Credit or (ii) any LC Issuing Bank's failure to pay
under any Letter of Credit issued by it after the presentation to it of a
request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of
Credit. Nothing in this Section 2.07(n) is intended to limit the obligations of
the Borrower under any other provision of this Section.

          (o) Indemnification by Lenders. Each Lender shall, ratably in
accordance with its Percentage, indemnify each LC Issuing Bank, its affiliates
and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees (to the extent
not reimbursed by the Borrower) against any cost, expense (including reasonable
fees and disbursements of counsel), claim, demand, action, loss or liability
(except such as result from such indemnitees' gross negligence or willful
misconduct or such LC Issuing Bank's failure to pay under any Letter of Credit
issued by it after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with
the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit) that any such indemnitee may
suffer or incur in connection with this Section or any action taken or omitted
by such indemnitee under this Section.

          (p) Liability for Damages. Nothing in this Section shall preclude the
Borrower or any Lender from asserting against any LC Issuing Bank any claim for
direct (but not consequential) damages suffered by the Borrower or such Lender
to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by (i) the willful misconduct or
gross negligence of such LC Issuing Bank in determining whether a request
presented under any Letter of Credit issued by it complied with the terms
thereof or (ii) such LC Issuing Bank's failure to pay under any such Letter of
Credit after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the
terms and conditions thereof.

          (q) Dual Capacities. In its capacity as a Lender, each LC Issuing Bank
shall have the same rights and obligations under this Section as any other
Lender.

          (r) Information to be Provided to Administrative Agent. The LC Issuing
Banks shall furnish to the Administrative Agent upon request such information as
the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request in order to calculate (i) the

                                               58
<PAGE>

Aggregate LC Exposure existing from time to time and (ii) the amount of any fee
payable for the account of the Lenders under Section 2.07(g).

         Section 2.08. Swingline Loans. (a) Swingline Commitment. The Swingline
Bank agrees, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to
make loans to the Borrower pursuant to this Section from time to time during the
Swingline Availability Period for any purpose for which Loans may be borrowed;
provided that, immediately after each such loan is made (and after giving effect
to any substantially concurrent application of the proceeds thereof to repay
outstanding Loans or LC Reimbursement Obligations):

                    (i)   the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the
         Swingline Loans shall not exceed the Swingline Commitment;

                    (ii)  in the case of each Lender, its Outstanding Amount
         shall not exceed its Commitment; and

                    (iii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all the Lenders
         shall not exceed the Borrowing Base then in effect.

Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may borrow Swingline Loans, prepay
Swingline Loans and reborrow Swingline Loans at any time during the Swingline
Availability Period.

         (b)  Notice of Swingline Borrowing. The Borrower shall give the
Swingline Bank notice (a "Notice of Swingline Borrowing"), substantially in the
form of Exhibit O hereto, not later than 2:00 P.M. (Eastern Time) on the date of
each Swingline Borrowing, specifying:

                    (i)   the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business
         Day; and

                    (ii)  the amount of such Borrowing, which shall be at least
         $500,000 or any larger multiple of $100,000.

         (c)  Funding of Swingline Loans. Not later than 3:00 P.M. (Eastern
Time) on the date of each Swingline Borrowing, the Swingline Bank shall, unless
the Swingline Bank determines that any applicable condition specified in Article
3 has not been satisfied, make available the amount of such Swingline Borrowing,
in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York, New York, to the
Borrower at the Swingline Bank's address specified in or pursuant to Section
11.01.

                                      59
<PAGE>

          (d) Swingline Note. The Borrower's obligation to repay the Swingline
Loans shall be evidenced by a single Note substantially in form of Exhibit A-2
hereto (the "Swingline Note"). Upon receipt of the Swingline Note pursuant to
Section 3.01(c), the Administrative Agent shall forward the Swingline Note to
the Swingline Bank.

          (e) Interest. Each Swingline Loan shall bear interest on the
outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the day
such Swingline Loan is made to but excluding the day it becomes due, at a rate
per annum equal to the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans for such day or any
lower rate determined by mutual agreement between the Swingline Bank and the
Borrower. Such interest shall be payable monthly in arrears on the last Business
Day of each calendar month. Any overdue principal of or interest on any
Swingline Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid
at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2.5% plus the rate applicable to Base
Rate Loans for such day.

          (f) Optional Prepayment of Swingline Loans. The Borrower may prepay
the Swingline Loans in whole at any time, or from time to time in part in a
principal amount of at least $500,000, by giving notice of such prepayment to
the Swingline Bank not later than 12:00 Noon (Eastern Time) on the date of
prepayment and paying the principal amount to be prepaid, together with interest
accrued thereon to the date of prepayment, to the Swingline Bank at its address
specified in or pursuant to Section 11.01, in Federal or other funds immediately
available in New York, New York, not later than 3:00 P.M. (Eastern Time) on the
date of prepayment.

          (g) Mandatory Prepayment of Swingline Loans. The Borrower shall prepay
each Swingline Loan no later than the earlier of (i) the acceleration of the
Obligations pursuant to Article 8 and (ii) the day that is five Business Days
after the day on which such Swingline Loan was made, together with interest
accrued thereon to the date of prepayment. On the date of each Borrowing under
the Facility, the Administrative Agent shall apply the proceeds thereof to
prepay all Swingline Loans then outstanding, together with interest accrued
thereon to the date of prepayment.

          (h) Maturity of Swingline Loans. All Swingline Loans outstanding on
the Swingline Maturity Date shall be due and payable on such date, together with
interest accrued thereon to such date.

          (i) Refunding Unpaid Swingline Loans. If (x) the Swingline Loans are
not paid in full on the Swingline Maturity Date or (y) the Swingline Loans
become immediately due and payable pursuant to Article 8, the Swingline Bank (or
the Administrative Agent on its behalf) may, by notice to the Lenders (including
the Swingline Bank, in its capacity as a Lender), require each Lender to

                                      60
<PAGE>

pay to the Swingline Bank an amount equal to such Lender's Percentage of the
aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Swingline Loans then outstanding. Such
notice shall specify the date on which such payments are to be made, which shall
be the first Business Day after such notice is given. Not later than 12:00 Noon
(Eastern Time) on the date so specified, each Lender shall pay the amount so
notified to it to the Swingline Bank at its address specified in or pursuant to
Section 11.01, in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York, New
York. The amount so paid by each Lender shall constitute a Base Rate Loan to the
Borrower; provided that, if the Lenders are prevented from making such Base Rate
Loans to the Borrower by the provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code or
otherwise, the amount so paid by each Lender shall constitute a purchase by it
of a participation in the unpaid principal amount of the Swingline Loans and
interest accruing thereon after the date of such payment at the rate specified
in the last sentence of Section 2.08(e). Each Lender's obligation to make such
payment to the Swingline Bank under this subsection shall be absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without
limitation, (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right
which such Lender or any other Person may have against the Swingline Bank or the
Borrower, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default
or the termination of the Commitments, (iii) any adverse change in the condition
(financial or otherwise) of the Borrower or any other Person, (iv) any breach of
this Agreement by any party hereto (other than the Swingline Bank) or (v) any
other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any
of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be obligated to make any payment
to the Swingline Bank under this subsection with respect to a Swingline Loan
made by the Swingline Bank at a time when it had determined that any applicable
condition precedent set forth in clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 3.02 was not
satisfied.

         (j) Termination of Swingline Commitment. The Borrower may, upon at
least three Business Days' notice to the Swingline Bank and the Administrative
Agent, terminate the Swingline Commitment at any time, if no Swingline Loans are
outstanding at such time. Unless previously terminated, the Swingline Commitment
shall terminate at the close of business on the Swingline Maturity Date.

         SECTION 2.09. Fees. (a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee, calculated for each day
at the Commitment Fee Rate, on the amount by which such Lender's Commitment on
such day exceeds the sum of (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of
its Loans and (ii) its LC Exposure on such day. Such commitment fees shall
accrue from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the day on which the
Commitments terminate in their entirety and shall be payable monthly on the last
Business Day of each calendar month and on the day on which the Commitments
terminate in their entirety.

                                      61
<PAGE>

         (b) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent a monthly fee of
$20,000, payable in advance on the Closing Date (for the remainder of the month
in which such date falls) and on the last Business Day of each month thereafter
(for the next succeeding month).

         (c) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent the
participation and arrangement fees in the amounts and on the dates set forth in
the fee letter dated February 28, 2001 among the Borrower, Vencor, the
Administrative Agent and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc.

         SECTION 2.10. Final Maturity of Loans. The Loans outstanding under the
Facility shall mature, and the outstanding principal amount thereof shall be due
and payable (together with interest accrued thereon), on the Revolving Credit
Termination Date.

         SECTION 2.11. Mandatory Commitment Reductions; Prepayments of Loans.

         (a) Asset Sales; Casualty Proceeds. If on or after the Closing Date the
Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary receives any Net Cash Proceeds of any
Asset Sale (other than the Kingfish Transaction) or any Casualty Proceeds
(collectively, "Reinvestable Proceeds"), the Borrower shall (i) promptly provide
notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall specify the
amount of Reinvestable Proceeds received and the date on, and the asset or event
in respect of, which such Reinvestable Proceeds were received and (ii) within
two Business Days of the receipt thereof deposit or cause to be deposited such
Revinvestable Proceeds in a Collateral Account, but only to the extent of the
amount by which the Commitments exceed $75,000,000, with any balance of such
Reinvestable Proceeds to be deposited in a Senior Secured Collateral Account,
where in either case they shall be held until such Reinvestable Proceeds are
applied as provided herein. Reinvestable Proceeds (and any income from
investment thereof) shall be subject to the following provisions.

             (A) During the one-year period beginning with the date on which the
         Borrower received such Reinvestable Proceeds, such Reinvestable
         Proceeds will be released by the Collateral Agent (or may be released
         by the Senior Secured Collateral Agent) from time to time, at the
         Borrower's request, (1) to repay principal of the PIP Claim and any
         interest accrued with respect thereto through the date of repayment,
         (2) if concurrently with such release the Borrower makes a permanent
         reduction in the Commitments in an amount equal to such released amount
         of Reinvestable Proceeds, (3) to restore, repair, replace or rebuild
         the asset in respect of which Casualty Proceeds were received (or to
         reimburse the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary for any such
         amounts paid by it), (4) to fund the

                                      62
<PAGE>

         Borrower's or a Restricted Subsidiary's payment of the purchase price
         of an Acquisition of a Healthcare Facility or real property, equipment
         or other assets used or to be used in, or in connection with, the
         operation of a Healthcare Facility owned or operated, or proposed to be
         developed for operation, by the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary
         (including any Healthcare Facility already owned by the Borrower or a
         Restricted Subsidiary) or (5) to prepay loans under the Senior Secured
         Credit Agreement (which prepayment may be made only if the Commitments
         have previously been permanently reduced to no more than $75,000,000),
         provided that the Borrower may not request the release of any
         Reinvestable Proceeds if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
         continuing.

                 (B) If on the first anniversary of the date any Reinvestable
         Proceeds were deposited in a Collateral Account or Senior Secured
         Collateral Account any portion of such Reinvestable Proceeds have not
         been released for application pursuant to subclause (A), such remaining
         amount shall (subject to subsection (d) below) be applied within two
         Business Days thereafter as follows:

                           (1) an amount up to the amount by which the
                     Commitments then exceed $75,000,000 may be released, but
                     concurrently with such release the Commitments shall
                     automatically be permanently reduced by the amount so
                     released and a portion of such amount shall be applied by
                     the Administrative Agent to prepay Loans and Swingline
                     Loans to the extent the outstanding principal amount of
                     Loans and Swingline Loans exceeds the Commitments as so
                     reduced;

                           (2) if the aggregate Commitments have previously been
                     permanently reduced to $75,000,000, an additional amount of
                     such Reinvestable Proceeds shall be released to the
                     Borrower at the Borrower's request but only if concurrently
                     with such release the Borrower makes a permanent further
                     reduction in Commitments in an amount equal to such
                     additional released amount of Reinvestable Proceeds and a
                     portion of such amount shall be applied by the
                     Administrative Agent to prepay Loans and Swingline Loans to
                     the extent the outstanding principal amount of Loans and
                     Swingline Loans exceeds the Commitments as so reduced;

                                      63
<PAGE>

                           (3) unless an Event of Default of the type described
                     in Section 8.01(a) shall have occurred and be continuing or
                     a Payment Blockage Period shall then be in effect, any
                     amount of such Reinvestable Proceeds not applied as
                     provided in clauses (1) or (2) shall be applied to prepay
                     loans under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement until they
                     have been repaid in full (which prepayment may be made only
                     if the Commitments have previously been permanently reduced
                     to no more than $75,000,000); and

                           (4) so long as no Default shall have occurred and be
                     continuing, any amount of such Reinvestable Proceeds not
                     applied as provided in clauses (1), (2) or (3) shall be
                     released to the Borrower.

         In determining how long any particular Reinvestable Proceeds have been
         held in a Collateral Account, deposits and releases shall be accounted
         for on a first-in, first-out basis.

               (C)  Any Reinvestable Proceeds held by the Collateral Agent or
         the Senior Secured Collateral Agent may also be released from time to
         time, at the Borrower's request (such request to certify that no
         Default then exists), for concurrent application to repay Loans or
         Swingline Loans (each such release, a "Temporary Withdrawal"); provided
         that (1) immediately after giving effect to such repayment, the
         Borrower has Net Borrowing Availability at least equal to the aggregate
         amount of such Temporary Withdrawal and any other Temporary Withdrawals
         then outstanding and (2) at the end of the one-year period applicable
         to such Reinvestable Proceeds (or, if earlier, any date upon which an
         Event of Default occurs), the Borrower shall be unconditionally
         obligated to re-deposit with the Collateral Agent or the Senior Secured
         Collateral Agent, as the case may be (for immediate application as
         provided in subclause (B)), an amount equal to (i) the amount of such
         Temporary Withdrawal less (ii) any amounts deemed applied against such
         re-deposit obligation pursuant to the following provisions of this
         subclause (C). During such one-year period, the Borrower may by notice
         to the Collateral Agent and the Senior Secured Collateral Agent (which
         notice shall certify that no Default then exists) identify any purpose
         for which it would otherwise have been entitled to request a release of
         such Reinvestable Proceeds and designate the amount that it would
         otherwise have been able to withdraw to be deemed applied against such
         re-deposit obligation. During such one-year period, the Borrower will
         not make any borrowing of Loans or Swingline Loans, or request the
         issuance of any Letter of Credit, unless, after giving effect thereto,
         the Borrower has Net Borrowing Availability at

                                      64
<PAGE>

      least equal to the aggregate amount, determined as of such day, of all re-
      deposit obligations that the Borrower has with respect to Reinvestable
      Proceeds withdrawn pursuant to this subclause (C).

      (b) Equity Issuances. If on any date (an "Equity Receipt Date") on or
after the Closing Date Vencor receives any Net Cash Proceeds from any Equity
Issuance, Vencor shall promptly provide notice thereof to the Administrative
Agent, which notice shall specify the amount of the Net Cash Proceeds received
with respect thereto, the amount equal to 75% of such Net Cash Proceeds (the
"Designated Equity Proceeds") and the date on which such Designated Equity
Proceeds were received. Such Designated Equity Proceeds shall be applied as
follows:

          (i)  Vencor may during the six-month period following any Equity
      Receipt Date deliver to the Administrative Agent one or more definitive
      executed agreements for an Acquisition by Vencor or any of its
      Subsidiaries of one or more Healthcare Facilities, together in each
      instance with a certificate describing in reasonable detail the purchase
      price of such Acquisition (a "Proposed Purchase Price") and identifying
      the related pool of Designated Equity Proceeds proposed to be used to fund
      such Proposed Purchase Price.

          (ii) Within three Business Days after the end of such six-month
      period, an amount equal to the lesser of (A) 66 2/3% of the original
      amount of such Designated Equity Proceeds and (B) the original amount of
      such Designated Equity Proceeds less the aggregate Proposed Purchase
      Prices certified with respect thereto pursuant to clause (i), shall be
      transferred from Vencor to the Borrower as an equity contribution.
      Concurrently with such transfer but subject to subsection (d) below, the
      Commitments shall automatically be permanently reduced (but not to below
      $75,000,000) in an amount equal to the amount so transferred and a portion
      of such amount shall be applied to prepay Loans and Swingline Loans to the
      extent the outstanding principal amount of the Loans and Swingline Loans
      exceeds the Commitments as so reduced.
      Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount by which the Commitments are to
      be reduced shall be reduced by any amount of such Designated Equity
      Proceeds that have been or concurrently are being used to repay principal
      of the PIP Claim and any interest accrued with respect thereto through the
      date of repayment. If the aggregate Commitments have previously been or
      concurrently are being permanently reduced to $75,000,000:

               (1)  the Borrower may, if it so elects, make a further permanent
          reduction in the Commitments in an amount up to the amount transferred
          to the Borrower and not applied as provided in

                                      65
<PAGE>

              the foregoing provisions of this clause (b) and a portion of such
              amount transferred shall be applied to prepay Loans and Swingline
              Loans to the extent the outstanding principal amount of the Loans
              and Swingline Loans exceeds the Commitments as so reduced; and

                       (2) unless an Event of Default of the type described in
              Section 8.01(a) shall have occurred and be continuing or a Payment
              Blockage Period shall then be in effect, any amount transferred to
              the Borrower not applied as provided in the foregoing provisions
              of this clause (b), shall be applied to prepay loans under the
              Senior Secured Credit Agreement until they have been paid in full.

              (iii) No later than the first anniversary of such Equity Receipt
      Date Vencor shall deliver a certificate to the Administrative Agent
      specifying the actual amounts paid during such one-year period as the
      purchase price of any such Acquisition certified with respect thereto
      pursuant to clause (i) (an "Actual Purchase Price"), and within three
      Business Days thereafter an amount equal to (A) 66 2/3% of the original
      amount of such Designated Equity Proceeds less (B) the aggregate Actual
      Purchase Prices, shall be transferred from Vencor to the Borrower as an
      equity contribution. Concurrently with such transfer but subject to
      subsection (d) below, the Commitments shall automatically be permanently
      reduced (but not to below $75,000,000) in an amount equal to the amount so
      transferred and a portion of such amount shall be applied to prepay Loans
      and Swingline Loans to the extent the outstanding principal amount of the
      Loans and Swingline Loans exceeds the Commitments as so reduced.
      Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount by which the Commitments are to
      be reduced shall be reduced by, without double counting, any amount of
      such Designated Equity Proceeds that have been (x) or concurrently are
      being used to repay principal of the PIP Claim and any interest accrued
      with respect thereto through the date of repayment or (y) used to prepay
      loans under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement (which prepayment may be
      made only if the Commitments have previously been permanently reduced to
      no more than $75,000,000). If the aggregate Commitments have previously
      been or concurrently are being permanently reduced to $75,000,000:

                       (1) the Borrower may, if it so elects, make a further
              permanent reduction in the Commitments in an amount up to the
              amount transferred to the Borrower and not applied as provided in
              the foregoing provisions of this clause (b) and a portion of such
              amount transferred shall be applied to prepay Loans and Swingline
              Loans to the extent the outstanding principal amount of the Loans
              and Swingline Loans exceeds the Commitments as so reduced; and

                                            66
<PAGE>

                       (2) unless an Event of Default of the type described in
              Section 8.01(a) shall have occurred and be continuing or a Payment
              Blockage Period shall then be in effect, any amount transferred to
              the Borrower not applied as provided in the foregoing provisions
              of this clause (b), shall be applied to prepay loans under the
              Senior Secured Credit Agreement until they have been paid in full.

              (iv) In addition, Vencor may during the one-year period following
      such Equity Receipt Date deliver to the Administrative Agent one or more
      definitive executed agreements, in addition to any agreements delivered
      pursuant to clause (i), for an Acquisition by Vencor or any of its
      Subsidiaries of one or more Healthcare Facilities, together in each
      instance with a certificate describing in reasonable detail the Proposed
      Purchase Price and identifying the related pool of Designated Equity
      Proceeds proposed to be used to fund such Proposed Purchase Price.

               (v) Within three Business Days after the end of such one-year
      period, an amount equal to (A) the original amount of such Designated
      Equity Proceeds less (B) the sum of (1) the aggregate Proposed Purchase
      Prices certified with respect thereto pursuant to clause (i) (to the
      extent the Actual Purchase Price has not been determined with respect
      thereto) or clause (iv) and (2) the aggregate related Actual Purchase
      Prices determined pursuant to clause (iii), shall be transferred from
      Vencor to the Borrower as an equity contribution. Concurrently with such
      transfer but subject to subsection (d) below, the Commitments shall
      automatically be permanently reduced (but not to below $75,000,000) in an
      amount equal to the amount so transferred and a portion of such amount
      shall be applied to prepay Loans and Swingline Loans to the extent the
      outstanding principal amount of the Loans and Swingline Loans exceeds the
      Commitments as so reduced. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount by
      which the Commitments are to be reduced shall be reduced by, without
      double counting, any amount of such Designated Equity Proceeds that have
      been (x) or concurrently are being used to repay principal of the PIP
      Claim and any interest accrued with respect thereto through the date of
      repayment or (y) used to prepay loans under the Senior Secured Credit
      Agreement (which prepayment may be made only if the Commitments have
      previously been permanently reduced to no more than $75,000,000). If the
      aggregate Commitments have previously been or concurrently are being
      permanently reduced to $75,000,000:

                      (aa) the Borrower may, if it so elects, make a further
              permanent reduction in the Commitments in an amount up to the
              amount transferred to the Borrower and not applied as provided in

                                      67
<PAGE>

              the foregoing provisions of this clause (b) and a portion of such
              amount transferred shall be applied to prepay Loans and Swingline
              Loans to the extent the outstanding principal amount of the Loans
              and Swingline Loans exceeds the Commitments as so reduced; and

                         (bb) unless an Event of Default of the type described
              in Section 8.01(a) shall have occurred and be continuing or a
              Payment Blockage Period shall then be in effect, any amount
              transferred to the Borrower not applied as provided in the
              foregoing provisions of this clause (b), shall be applied to
              prepay loans under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement until they
              have been paid in full.

              (vi) No later than the date eighteen months after such Equity
         Receipt Date Vencor shall deliver a certificate to the Administrative
         Agent specifying the Actual Purchase Price paid during such eighteen-
         month period of any Acquisition described pursuant to clause (iv), and
         within three Business Days thereafter an amount equal to (A) the
         original amount of such Designated Equity Proceeds less (B) the
         aggregate related Actual Purchase Prices determined pursuant to this
         clause (vi) and clause (iii), shall be transferred from Vencor to the
         Borrower as an equity contribution. Concurrently with such transfer but
         subject to subsection (d) below, the Commitments shall automatically be
         permanently reduced (but not to below $75,000,000) in an amount equal
         to the amount so transferred and a portion of such amount shall be
         applied to prepay Loans and Swingline Loans to the extent the
         outstanding principal amount of the Loans and Swingline Loans exceeds
         the Commitments as so reduced.
         Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount by which the Commitments are
         to be reduced shall be reduced by, without double counting, any amount
         of such Designated Equity Proceeds that have been (x) or concurrently
         are being used to repay principal of the PIP Claim and any interest
         accrued with respect thereto through the date of repayment or (y) used
         to prepay loans under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement (which
         prepayment may be made only if the Commitments have previously been
         permanently reduced to no more than $75,000,000). If the aggregate
         Commitments have previously been or concurrently are being permanently
         reduced to $75,000,000:

                         (1) the Borrower may, if it so elects, make a further
              permanent reduction in the Commitments in an amount up to the
              amount transferred to the Borrower and not applied as provided in
              the foregoing provisions of this clause (b) and a portion of such
              amount transferred shall be applied to prepay Loans and Swingline
              Loans to the extent the outstanding principal amount of the Loans
              and Swingline Loans exceeds the Commitments as so reduced; and

                                               68

                          (2) unless an Event of Default of the type described
              in Section 8.01(a) shall have occurred and be continuing or a
              Payment Blockage Period shall then be in effect, any amount
              transferred to the Borrower not applied as provided in the
              foregoing provisions of this clause (b), shall be applied to
              prepay loans under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement until they
              have been paid in full.

          (c) Tax Refunds. If on or after the Closing Date Vencor receives a
cash payment out of the original amount deposited and held in escrow under the
Tax Refund Escrow Agreement, Vencor shall promptly provide notice thereof to the
Administrative Agent, which notice shall specify the amount of the payment
received and the date (the "Tax Receipt Date") on which such payment was
received and the intended application thereof. Such cash payments shall be
applied as follows:

                   (i) During the two Business Day period after the Tax Receipt
          Date, Vencor may apply such payment (or a portion thereof) to pay a
          tax liability of the nature intended to be paid from funds held in
          escrow under the Tax Refund Escrow Account.

                  (ii) If on the third Business Day after the Tax Receipt Date,
          any portion of such payment shall not have been applied pursuant to
          clause (i), such remaining amount shall be transferred from Vencor to
          the Borrower as an equity contribution. Concurrently with such
          transfer but subject to clause (d) below, the Commitments shall
          automatically be permanently reduced (but not to below $75,000,000) in
          an amount equal to the amount so transferred and a portion of such
          amount shall be applied to prepay Loans and Swingline Loans to the
          extent the outstanding principal amount of the Loans and Swingline
          Loans exceeds the Commitments as so reduced, Notwithstanding the
          foregoing, the amount by which the Commitments are to be reduced shall
          be reduced by amounts that will be used promptly to repay principal of
          the PIP Claim and any interest accrued with respect thereto through
          the day of repayment. If the aggregate Commitments have previously
          been or concurrently are being permanently reduced to $75,000,000:

                          (A) the Borrower may, if it so elects, make a further
                  permanent reduction in the Commitments in an amount up to the
                  amount transferred to the Borrower and not applied as provided
                  in the foregoing provisions of this clause (c) and a portion
                  of such amount transferred shall be applied to prepay Loans
                  and Swingline Loans to the extent the outstanding principal
                  amount of the Loans and Swingline Loans exceeds the
                  Commitments as so reduced; and

                                               69
<PAGE>

                           (B) unless an Event of Default of the type described
                  in Section 8.01(a) shall have occurred and be continuing or a
                  Payment Blockage Period shall then be in effect, any amount
                  transferred to the Borrower not applied as provided in the
                  foregoing provisions of this clause (c), shall be applied to
                  prepay loans under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement until
                  they have been paid in full.

          (d) Timing of Commitment Reduction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
the aggregate amount of the Commitments required to be reduced on any date
pursuant to this Section is less than $1,000,000, such reduction shall be
deferred until the aggregate amount of Commitments required to be reduced
pursuant to this Section (including such deferred amounts) is not less than
$1,000,000.

         (e) Prepayments. (i) Concurrently with any reduction of Commitments
pursuant to this Section 2.11, the Borrower shall prepay Loans and Swingline
Loans (or if no such Loans or Swingline Loans are outstanding, deposit cash in a
collateral account in accordance with the Security Agreement) in an amount
necessary to ensure that (A) no Lender's Outstanding Amount shall exceed its
Commitment as so reduced and (B) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all the
Lenders shall not exceed the Borrowing Base then in effect. Once reduced, the
Commitments may not be reinstated.

                  (ii) If at any time the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all
         Lenders exceeds the lesser of (A) the aggregate Commitments of all
         Lenders and (B) the Borrowing Base then in effect, the Borrower shall
         immediately prepay Loans and Swingline Loans (or if no such Loans and
         Swingline Loans are outstanding, deposit cash in a collateral account
         in accordance with the Security Agreement) in an amount equal to such
         excess; provided that if such excess is due to the establishment of a
         reserve in the Borrowing Base by the Collateral Monitoring Agent, the
         Borrower shall, within one Business Day after the establishment of such
         reserve, prepay Loans and Swingline Loans (or if no such Loans and
         Swingline Loans are outstanding, deposit cash in a collateral account
         in accordance with the Security Agreement) in an amount necessary to
         eliminate such excess.

                 (iii) (A) If consistent with the Borrower's historical cash
         management practices, the aggregate cash balances of the Borrower and
         its Restricted Subsidiaries (excluding any Reinvestable Proceeds
         deposited in a Collateral Account or Senior Secured Collateral Account
         pursuant to Section 2.11(a)) on any three consecutive Business Days, as
         reflected in the Borrower's consolidated daily cash flow reports for
         such Business Days, exceeded $20,000,000, then the Borrower shall
         prepay Loans and

                                               70
<PAGE>

         Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the amount by which such
         aggregate cash balances exceed $20,000,000 as of the last such Business
         Day.

                    (B)  If the aggregate cash balances of the Borrower and its
               Restricted Subsidiaries (excluding any Reinvestable Proceeds
               deposited in a Collateral Account or Senior Secured Collateral
               Account pursuant to Section 2.11(a)) exceed $45,000,000 as of the
               last Business Day of any calendar month (as reflected in the
               Borrower's consolidated balance sheet as at the end of such month
               and consistent with the Borrower's historical cash management
               practices), then the Borrower shall, no later than three Business
               Days after the end of such calendar month, prepay Loans and
               Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the amount by which such
               aggregate cash balances exceed $45,000,000 as of the last
               Business Day of such calendar month.

               (iv) During each Clean-Down Period, the Borrower shall ensure
         that there shall be at least 30 consecutive days on which there are no
         Loans or Swingline Loans outstanding. The Borrower shall prepay Loans
         and Swingline Loans to the extent necessary to comply with the
         immediately preceding sentence. For purposes of this clause, "Clean-
         Down Period" means each period of four consecutive Fiscal Quarters,
         commencing with the Fiscal Quarter in which the Borrower or any
         Restricted Subsidiary makes a Restricted Investment pursuant to the
         proviso in Section 7.08(b).

               (v)  Each prepayment of Loans required under this Section 2.11
         shall be applied to prepay outstanding Swingline Loans and/or any Group
         or Groups of Loans designated by the Borrower in the applicable
         Prepayment Notice (or selected by the Administrative Agent if the
         Borrower fails to make such designation). The Borrower shall give the
         Administrative Agent notice of any such prepayment as if it were an
         optional prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.08(f) or 2.12, as
         applicable. In the case of Euro-Dollar Loans, unless such Loans are
         prepaid on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, the
         Borrower shall comply with Section 2.15 in connection with such
         prepayment.

         (f)   Interest. Each prepayment of principal of the Loans and Swingline
Loans under this Section 2.11 shall be made together with interest accrued on
the amount prepaid to the date of payment.

         (g)   Ratable Application. Each reduction of Commitments and each
prepayment of any Group of Loans pursuant to this Section shall be applied

                                      71
<PAGE>

ratably to the Commitments or Loans, as the case may be, of the several Lenders
included in such Group of Loans.

          Section 2.12. Optional Prepayments. (a) Base Rate Loans. The Borrower
may, upon giving a Prepayment Notice to the Administrative Agent before 12:00
Noon (Eastern Time) on the date of prepayment, prepay the Base Rate Loans
outstanding on any Business Day in whole, or in part in amounts aggregating
$1,000,000 or any larger multiple of $100,000.

          (b)  Euro-Dollar Loans. The Borrower may, upon giving a Prepayment
Notice to the Administrative Agent at least three Euro-Dollar Business Days
before the date of prepayment, prepay any Group of Euro-Dollar Loans on any
Euro-Dollar Business Day in whole, or in part in amounts aggregating $5,000,000
or any larger multiple of $1,000,000. Unless such Loans are prepaid on the last
day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall comply with
Section 2.15 in connection with such prepayment.

          (c)  Notice to Lenders. Upon receiving a Prepayment Notice pursuant to
this Section, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the
contents thereof and of such Lender's share of such prepayment and such
Prepayment Notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower.

          (d)  Ratable Application. Each prepayment of any Group of Loans
pursuant to this Section shall be applied ratably to the Loans of the several
Lenders included in such Group of Loans.

          (e)  Payment of Accrued Interest. On the date of each prepayment of
Loans (other than Base Rate Loans) pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall
pay interest accrued on the principal amount prepaid to the date of prepayment.

          Section 2.13. Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Borrower
may, upon at least three Business Days' notice to the Administrative Agent, (i)
terminate the Commitments at any time, if no Lender has any Revolving Credit
Exposure after such termination or (ii) ratably reduce the Commitments from time
to time by an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any larger multiple of
$1,000,000; provided that immediately after such reduction no Lender's
Outstanding Amount shall exceed its Commitment as so reduced. Unless previously
terminated, the Commitments shall terminate in their entirety on the Revolving
Credit Termination Date. Once reduced or terminated the Commitments may not be
reinstated.

          Section 2.14. General Provisions as to Payments. (a) The Borrower
shall make each payment of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and the LC
Reimbursement Obligations and each payment of commitment fees and letter of

                                      72
<PAGE>

credit fees (other than fees payable directly to the LC Issuing Banks) hereunder
not later than 1:00 P.M. (Eastern Time) on the date when due, in Federal or
other funds immediately available in New York, New York, to the Administrative
Agent at its address for payments specified in or pursuant to Section 11.01.
Upon receiving a payment for the account of the Lenders, the Administrative
Agent will promptly distribute to each such Lender its ratable share of such
payment. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, Base Rate Loans,
Swingline Loans or LC Reimbursement Obligations or any payment of commitment
fees or letter of credit fees shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day,
the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business
Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, Euro-Dollar Loans
shall be due on a day which is not a Euro-Dollar Business Day, the date for
payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Euro-Dollar Business
Day unless such Euro-Dollar Business Day falls in another calendar month, in
which case the date for payment thereof shall be the next preceding Euro-Dollar
Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation
of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.

          (b)  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from
the Borrower before the date on which any payment is due to any of the Lenders
hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the
Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full
to the Administrative Agent on such date and, in reliance upon such assumption,
the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) cause to be
distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then
due such Lender. If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have so made
such payment, each such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith
on demand any such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest
thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender
until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at
the Federal Funds Rate.

          Section 2.15. Funding Losses. (a) If the Borrower makes any payment of
principal with respect to any Euro-Dollar Loan or if any Euro-Dollar Loan is
converted to a Base Rate Loan (whether such payment or conversion is pursuant to
Article 2, 8 or 10 or otherwise) on any day other than the last day of an
Interest Period applicable thereto, or if the Borrower fails to borrow, prepay,
convert or continue any Euro-Dollar Loans after notice has been given to any
Lender in accordance with Section 2.03(a), 2.06(c), 2.11(e)(v) or 2.12(c), the
Borrower shall reimburse each Lender for any resulting loss or expense incurred
by such Lender (or by any existing or prospective Participant in the related
Loan), including any loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing
deposits from third parties, subject to and in accordance with the procedure set
forth in subsection (b).

                                      73
<PAGE>

          (b)  Each Lender wishing to demand compensation pursuant to this
Section shall, within seven Business Days after the relevant payment or
conversion or failure to borrow, prepay, convert or continue occurs, notify the
Administrative Agent that it demands such compensation and deliver to the
Administrative Agent a certificate as to the amount of compensation which such
Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section,
showing the calculation thereof in reasonable detail. Such certificate shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Promptly after the end of such
period of seven Business Days, the Administrative Agent shall notify the
Borrower of all demands for such compensation received by it during such period
and deliver to the Borrower copies of the supporting certificates received by it
from Lenders. Within 15 days thereafter, the Borrower shall pay to the
Administrative Agent the aggregate amount properly demanded by Lenders pursuant
to this Section and, upon receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent shall
distribute such amount to the Lenders entitled thereto.

          Section 2.16. Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest based on
the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days
in a leap year) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the
first day but excluding the last day). All other interest and all letter of
credit and commitment fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of
360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day
but excluding the last day).

          (b)  The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate
applicable to the Loans hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt
notice to the Borrower and the Lenders of each rate of interest so determined,
and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest
error.

          Section 2.17. Regulation D Compensation. If and for so long as any
Lender maintains reserves against "Eurocurrency liabilities" (or any other
category of liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which the
interest rate on Euro-Dollar Loans is determined or any category of extensions
of credit or other assets which includes loans by a non-United States office of
such Lender to United States residents), and as a result the cost to such Lender
(or its Euro-Dollar Lending Office) of making or maintaining its Euro-Dollar
Loans is increased, then such Lender may require the Borrower to pay,
contemporaneously with each payment of interest on the Euro-Dollar Loans
outstanding, additional interest on the related Euro-Dollar Loan of such Lender,
at a rate per annum up to but not exceeding the amount by which (x) (A) the
applicable London Interbank Offered Rate divided by (B) one minus the Euro-
Dollar Reserve Percentage exceeds (y) the applicable London Interbank Offered
Rate. Any Lender wishing to require payment of such additional interest (i)
shall so notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in which case such
additional interest on the Euro-Dollar

                                      74
<PAGE>

Loans of such Lender shall be payable to such Lender at the place indicated in
such notice with respect to each Interest Period commencing at least three Euro-
Dollar Business Days after such notice is given and (ii) shall furnish to the
Borrower, at least five Euro-Dollar Business Days prior to each date on which
interest is payable on the Euro-Dollar Loans, an officer's certificate setting
forth the amount to which such Lender is then entitled under this Section.

         Section 2.18. Release of Security Interest in Assets Being Sold. The
Administrative Agent shall from time to time instruct the Collateral Agent to
release specific assets (but not all or substantially all the Collateral) from
the Security Interests pursuant to Section 18 of the Security Agreement if:

               (i)   the Administrative Agent shall have received a written
         request for such release signed by any Executive Officer or a Financial
         Officer stating that (x) the assets to be released are being sold or
         otherwise transferred and (y) the sale or transfer thereof does not
         violate Section 7.03(d) hereof;

               (ii)  arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent have
         been made so that such release will become effective no earlier than
         the closing of such sale or transfer;

               (iii) in the case of an Asset Sale, arrangements satisfactory to
         the Administrative Agent have been made to deposit an amount equal to
         the Net Cash Proceeds payable at the closing of such Asset Sale, if
         any, in a Collateral Account and apply it to reduce Commitments and
         prepay Loans and Swingline Loans as required by Section 2.11(a); and

               (iv)  no Default or Enforcement Notice is in effect when such
         instructions are given.

         Section 2.19. Borrowing Base Advance Rate Adjustments. (a) As of the
Closing Date, the Accounts Receivable Advance Rate will be 80% and the
Rehabilitation Accounts Receivable Advance Rate will be 25%.

         (b)   The Collateral Agent and the Collateral Monitoring Agent may, in
the exercise of their reasonable credit judgment increase the Accounts
Receivable Advance Rate and the Rehabilitation Accounts Receivable Advance Rate
from time to time; provided that any such increase in the Accounts Receivable
Advance Rate above 80% and any increase in the Rehabilitation Accounts
Receivable Advance Rate above 25% will require the consent of the Supermajority
Lenders.

         (c)   The Collateral Agent and the Collateral Monitoring Agent may, in
the exercise of their reasonable credit judgment, reduce the Accounts Receivable

                                      75
<PAGE>

Advance Rate and the Rehabilitation Accounts Receivable Advance Rate from time
to time.

         (d) The Collateral Agent shall give prompt written notice to the
Borrower and the Lenders of any adjustments effected pursuant to this Section
2.19.

         provided that those representations and warranties that speak only of a
         specific date shall only speak as of such specific date.

Without limiting the foregoing, the obligations (A) of each Lender to make the
initial Loan on the occasion of the initial Borrowing, (B) of an LC Issuing Bank

                                      80
<PAGE>

related filing fees or similar charges or taxes shall have been paid in

Letter shall be discharged, removed or reserved against in accordance with the
provisions of, and within the time periods specified in, such Discharge Letter.

and warranty by the Borrower on the date of such Credit Event as to the facts
specified in clauses (ii) and (iii) of this Section.

                                   ARTICLE 4
                        Representations and Warranties

     Each of the Borrower and Vencor represents and warrants to the Lender
Parties that:

     Section 4.01. Corporate Existence and Power. The Borrower and each
Guarantor (a) is a corporation, limited liability company or partnership duly
incorporated or organized and validly existing under the laws of its
jurisdiction of incorporation or organization, (b) is in good standing under the
laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization and (c) has all
corporate or other powers and all material Governmental Approvals (including
without limitation those required by Medicaid Regulations and Medicare
Regulations) required to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed
to be conducted, except for such Governmental Approvals the failure of which to
have in the aggregate could not be reasonably expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect; provided that clause (b) shall not apply to either Recovery Inns
of America, Inc. or J.B. Thomas Hospital, Inc. prior to July 31, 2001. The
Borrower and each Guarantor is in compliance with its Organizational Documents.

     Section 4.02. Corporate and Governmental Authorization; No Contravention.
The execution and delivery by the Borrower and each Guarantor of the Financing
Documents to which it is a party, its performance of its

                                      81
<PAGE>

obligations thereunder and, with respect to the Borrower, the issuance of the
Notes are within its corporate or other powers, have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate or other action, require no action by or in respect of, or
filing with, any governmental body, agency or official (other than the
Confirmation Order and except such as shall have been made at or before the time
required by the Financing Documents and shall be in full force and effect on and
after the date when made to the extent required by the Financing Documents) and
do not contravene, or constitute a default under, any Applicable Laws or any
provision of its Organizational Documents, or of any agreement or other
instrument binding upon it or result in or require the imposition of any Lien
(other than the Liens created by the Collateral Documents and Liens securing
amounts owing under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement) on any of its assets.

     Section 4.03. Binding Effect. This Agreement constitutes a valid and
binding agreement of the Borrower and Vencor, and the other Financing Documents,
when executed and delivered as contemplated by this Agreement, will constitute
valid and binding obligations of each Credit Party that is a party thereto, in
each case enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by general
principles of equity and by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance or
other similar laws affecting creditor's rights generally.

     Section 4.04. Security Interests. On the Closing Date, the Collateral
Documents will create valid Security Interests in the Collateral to the extent
set forth therein. At all times after the Closing, the Collateral Documents will
create valid and, when financing statements are filed in the offices specified
in the Perfection Certificates delivered pursuant to the Security Agreement,
perfected Security Interests in the Collateral from time to time covered or
purportedly covered thereby to the extent that a security interest in such
Collateral may be perfected by filing under the UCC. Such Security Interests
will be prior to all other Liens (except Permitted Liens, other than Permitted
Liens referred to in Sections 7.02(b) and 7.02(h) and any Permitted Liens
arising out of any refinancings of any Debt secured by any Permitted Lien
referred to in Sections 7.02(b) and 7.02(h); provided that Liens existing on the
Closing Date and referred to in a schedule to the Discharge Letter shall be
discharged, removed or reserved against in accordance with the provisions of,
and within the time periods specified in, such Discharge Letter) on such
Collateral until the applicable Security Interest is released pursuant to
Section 18 of the Security Agreement.

     Section 4.05. Financial Information.

     (a)  The consolidated balance sheet of Vencor and its Consolidated
Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and the related consolidated statements of
operations, cash flows and shareholders' equity for the Fiscal Year then ended,
reported on by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, fairly present in all material

                                      82
<PAGE>

respects, in conformity with GAAP, the consolidated financial position of Vencor
and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of such date and their consolidated results
of operations and cash flows for such Fiscal Year.

     (b)  Since December 31, 2000, no event has occurred and no condition has
come into existence which has had, or is reasonably likely to have, a Material
Adverse Effect.

     Section 4.06. Litigation. Except as disclosed in Schedule 8 hereto, there
is no action, suit or proceeding pending against, or to the knowledge of the
Borrower or Vencor threatened against or affecting, the Borrower or any
Guarantor before any court or arbitrator or any governmental body, agency or
official (i) in which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse decision
that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii)
which in any manner questions the validity of any Financing Document.

     Section 4.07. Compliance with ERISA. Each member of the ERISA Group has
fulfilled its obligations under the minimum funding standards of ERISA and the
Internal Revenue Code with respect to each Plan and is in compliance in all
material respects with the presently applicable provisions of ERISA and the
Internal Revenue Code with respect to each Plan. No member of the ERISA Group
has (i) sought a waiver of the minimum funding standard under Section 412 of the
Internal Revenue Code in respect of any Plan, (ii) failed to make any
contribution or payment to any Plan or Multiemployer Plan or made any amendment
to any Plan, which has resulted or could result in the imposition of a Lien or
the posting of a bond or other security under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code
or (iii) incurred any liability under Title IV of ERISA other than a liability
to the PBGC for premiums under Section 4007 of ERISA.

     Section 4.08. Taxes. The Borrower and the Guarantors have filed all United
States Federal income tax returns that are required to be filed by them (or have
filed appropriate extensions for filing such tax returns) and have paid all
taxes due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessment received by any
of them, except such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and as
to which reserves have been provided. The charges, accruals and reserves on the
books of the Borrower and the Guarantors in respect of taxes or other similar
governmental charges are in the aggregate, in the opinion of Vencor, adequate.

     Section 4.09. Compliance with Laws. The Borrower and the Guarantors are in
compliance in all material respects with all Applicable Laws (including without
limitation Medicaid Regulations and Medicare Regulations), other than such laws,
rules or regulations (i) the validity or applicability of which the Borrower or
the relevant Guarantor is contesting in good faith or (ii) the failure to

                                      83
<PAGE>

comply with which could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

     Section 4.10. No Regulatory Restrictions on Borrowing. Neither the Borrower
nor any Guarantor is (i) an "investment company", within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (ii) a "holding company", or an
"affiliate" of a "holding company" or a "subsidiary company" of a "holding
company", within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935,
as amended or (iii) otherwise subject to any regulatory scheme which restricts
its ability to incur Debt hereunder.

     Section 4.11. Environmental Matters.

     (a)  From time to time, Vencor has reviewed the effect of Environmental
Laws on the business, operations and properties of the Borrower and the
Guarantors, in the course of which reviews it identified and evaluated
associated liabilities and costs. On the basis of such reviews, Vencor has
reasonably concluded that the foregoing associated liabilities and costs are
unlikely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     (b)  Except to the extent that the Environmental Liabilities of the
Borrower and the Guarantors that relate to or could result from the matters
referred to in this Section 4.11(b) would not exceed $1,000,000 for any one
occurrence, no material notice, notification, demand, request for information,
citation, summons, complaint or order with respect to Hazardous Substances or
any violation of Environmental Laws is in existence or, to the knowledge of
Vencor, proposed, threatened or anticipated with respect to or in connection
with the operation of any properties to be owned, leased or operated after the
Closing Date by the Borrower or any Guarantor.

     Section 4.12. Full Disclosure. The information (other than projections)
heretofore furnished in writing by the Borrower or any Guarantor to any Agent or
any Lender, taken as a whole, for purposes of or in connection with this
Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby did not at the time furnished,
and all such information hereafter furnished in writing by the Borrower or any
Guarantor to any Agent or Lender, taken as a whole, will not at the time
furnished, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were or will be made, not misleading. Although
any projections (and the underlying assumptions) by necessity involve
uncertainties and approximations, Vencor believes as of the date hereof that the
projections set forth in its presentation dated January 10, 2001 are reasonable
(and the significant assumptions upon which they are based are stated in summary
form therein), and such projections provide reasonable estimations of the future
performance of the

                                      84
<PAGE>

Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, subject, as stated above, to the
uncertainties and approximations inherent in any projections. Vencor has
disclosed to the Lenders in writing (including by way of reports filed in
accordance with Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act) any and all facts
which are known to it and which have had or could reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect.

     Section 4.13. Information as to Equity Interest and Instruments. Schedule 1
hereto sets forth a correct and complete list, as of the close of business on
the Closing Date, of each Subsidiary of Vencor, its outstanding Equity
Interests, the owner thereof and the percentage thereof owned by such owner. As
of the close of business on the Closing Date, neither Vencor nor any of its
Subsidiaries owns any interest in any Subsidiary which is neither the Borrower
nor a Restricted Subsidiary (other than Cornerstone, the Excluded Partnerships
and the Shell Subsidiary). Except as set forth on Schedule 10 hereto, no Debt
(including Permitted Intercompany Debt) owed to any Lien Grantor is evidenced by
an instrument (as such term is defined in the UCC) that is not held in a
Concentration Account or pledged to the Collateral Agent as part of the
Collateral.

     Section 4.14. Representations in Other Financing Documents. The
representations of each Guarantor in Section 2 of its Guaranty Agreement and the
representations of each Lien Grantor in Section 2 of the Security Agreement and
Section 5 of each Security Agreement Supplement (if any) signed by it are true.

     Section 4.15. Margin Stock. (a) The Borrower does not, as of the date
hereof, expect that the Borrower or any Guarantor will acquire any Margin Stock
in the future. Even if they do, Margin Stock will not at any time represent more
than 25% of the value (as determined by any reasonable method) of the assets
subject to any provision of the Financing Documents that restricts the right or
ability of the Borrower or any Guarantor to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of
Margin Stock owned by them or requires a prepayment of Loans upon the exercise
of any such right.

     (b)  No part of the proceeds of any Loan, Swingline Loan or Letter of
Credit will be used for "buying" or "carrying" any Margin Stock within the
respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U or for any
purpose which violates the provisions of any regulation of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

     Section 4.16. Properties. (a) The Borrower and each Guarantor has good
title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all real and personal property
material to its business (including all its property subject to the Mortgages),
except for

                                      85
<PAGE>

Permitted Liens and minor defects that in the aggregate could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     (b)  The Borrower and each Guarantor owns, or is licensed to use, all
trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property
material to its business, and the use thereof by the Borrower and the Guarantors
does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except for infringements
that, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

     (c)  As of the Closing Date, neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor has
received notice of, of has knowledge of, any pending or contemplated
condemnation proceeding affecting any property subject to a Mortgage or any sale
or disposition thereof in lieu of condemnation. No property subject to a Fee
Mortgage nor any interest therein is subject to any right of first refusal,
option or other contractual right to purchase such property or interest therein,
other than Permitted Liens.

     Section 4.17. Existing Indebtedness. As of the Closing Date, the Borrower
and the Guarantors will have no Debt outstanding other than (i) this Agreement,
(ii) the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, (iii) the PIP Claim in an aggregate
principal amount not exceeding $58,457,242 as of March 31, 2001, (iv) the
Government Settlement, (v) other Debt arising under the Plan of Reorganization,
(vi) Debt set forth on Schedule 9 hereto and (vii) other Debt in an aggregate
principal amount not exceeding $1,000,000.

                                          ARTICLE 5
                                 Affirmative Covenants

do so, Vencor or the Borrower, as the case may be, shall deliver final versions
of such financial statements to the Administrative Agent as soon as they are
available;

Directors of the Borrower may designate any Subsidiary, including a newly
acquired or created Subsidiary, to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if the sum of

Subsidiaries, the consolidated total assets of such Subsidiary and its
Consolidated Subsidiaries) and every other Unrestricted Subsidiary, in each case
determined as of the date of the Most Recent Financial Statements, does not
exceed 5% of the consolidated total assets of the Borrower and its Consolidated
Subsidiaries and the designation would not cause a Default; provided that:

          (i)   Such Subsidiary does not own any capital stock of the Borrower
     or any Restricted Subsidiary or hold any Debt of, or any Lien on any
     property of, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary.

                                      92
<PAGE>

          (ii)  At the time of designation, the designation would be permitted
     under Section 7.08.

          (iii) To the extent the Debt of the Subsidiary is not Non-Recourse
     Debt, any Guarantee or other credit support thereof by the Borrower or any
     Restricted Subsidiary is permitted under Sections 7.01 and 7.08.

          (iv)  The Subsidiary is not party to any transaction or arrangement
     with the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary that would not be permitted
     under Section 7.04.

    obligation to subscribe for additional Equity Interests of the Subsidiary or
    to maintain or preserve its financial condition or cause it to achieve
    specified levels of operating results except to the extent permitted by
    Sections 7.01 and 7.08.

Once so designated the Subsidiary will remain an Unrestricted Subsidiary,
subject to paragraph (b).

     (b) (i) If as of the date of the Most Recent Financial Statements, the
conditions specified in paragraph (a) are not satisfied, the Board of Directors
of the Borrower shall immediately designate one or more Unrestricted
Subsidiaries as Restricted Subsidiaries to the extent required to ensure that
the conditions specified in paragraph (a) would have been satisfied as of the
date of the Most Recent Financial Statements, subject to the consequences set
forth in paragraph (d).

          (ii)  The Board of Directors of the Borrower may designate an
     Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if the designation
     would not cause a Default.

     (c) Upon a Restricted Subsidiary becoming an Unrestricted Subsidiary,

          (i)   all existing Investments of the Borrower and the Restricted
     Subsidiaries therein (valued at the Borrower's proportional share of the
     fair market value of its assets less liabilities) will be deemed made at
     that time;

          (ii)  all existing capital stock or Debt of the Borrower or a
     Restricted Subsidiary held by it will be deemed incurred at that time, and
     all Liens on property of the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary held by it
     will be deemed incurred at that time;

                                      93
<PAGE>

                 (iii) all existing transactions between it and the Borrower or
          any Restricted Subsidiary will be deemed entered into at that time;

                 (iv)  it is released at that time from the Subsidiary Guaranty
          Agreement, if it is a party thereto; and

                 (v)   it will cease to be subject to the provisions of this
          Agreement as a Restricted Subsidiary.

          (d) Upon an Unrestricted Subsidiary becoming a Restricted Subsidiary,

                 (i)   all of its Debt will be deemed incurred at that time for
          purposes of Section 7.01, but will not be considered the sale or
          issuance of Equity Interests for purposes of Sections 7.03(d) or 7.06;

          Section 5.08; and

                 (iv)  it will thenceforward be subject to the provisions of
          this Agreement as a Restricted Subsidiary.

          (e) Any designation by the Board of Directors of the Borrower of a
Subsidiary of the Borrower as a Restricted Subsidiary or Unrestricted Subsidiary
will be evidenced to the Administrative Agent by promptly filing with the
Administrative Agent a copy of the board resolution giving effect to the
designation and a certificate of an Executive Officer certifying that the
designation complied with the foregoing provisions.

have become a Restricted Subsidiary, an Insurance Subsidiary or an insurance
subsidiary of Vencor or ceases to be an Excluded Partnership after the date

owned by the Borrower or the Guarantors to be pledged under the Security

pledge of Equity Interests in an insurance subsidiary, (i) such pledge shall not
be required unless such regulatory consent is reasonably obtainable and (ii) if
such regulatory consent is reasonably obtainable, the Borrower or Vencor shall
exercise all reasonable efforts to obtain it and shall not be required to pledge
such Equity Interests until it is obtained.

          (b)  If at any time after the Closing Date the Borrower or a Guarantor
acquires a Material Real Property that is not included in the Collateral, the
Borrower shall, within two Business Days after it or such Guarantor acquires
such Material Real Property, provide notice thereof to the Administrative Agent
and, within 30 days after it or such Guarantor acquires such Material Real
Property, cause such Material Real Property to be added to the Collateral by
delivering to the Collateral Agent a Fee Mortgage with respect thereto and the
appropriate UCC form for the related fixture filing, all in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

Borrower shall deliver a leasehold report to the Administrative Agent setting
forth a list of each Material Real Property leased by it or any Guarantor under
a lease with respect to which its or such Guarantor's leasehold interest is not
included in the Collateral. The Administrative Agent may (and if it is requested
to do so by the Required Lenders shall) request the Borrower to cause any such
leasehold interest not subject to a negative pledge to be added to the
Collateral by delivering to the Collateral Agent a Leasehold Mortgage with
respect thereto and the appropriate UCC form for the related fixture filing, all
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The
Borrower shall, and shall cause each Guarantor to, attempt in good faith to
cause any such lease of a Material Real Property to (i) not contain a negative
pledge (subject to prevailing market conditions) and (ii) contain provisions for
the benefit of a leasehold mortgagee comparable to those contained in the Master
Lease Agreements and to obtain a non-disturbance agreement with respect to such
lease on customary terms.

          (d)  Within 5 Business Days after any Person becomes a Restricted
Subsidiary or ceases to be an Excluded Partnership (provided that such Person
remains a Subsidiary), the Borrower will (i) cause such Person to sign and
deliver a Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement and Security Agreement Supplement
granting a Lien or Liens on substantially all the personal property included in
its assets (with

                                      95
<PAGE>

the exceptions set forth in the first proviso at the end of Section 3 of the
Security Agreement and such other exceptions as the Agents shall have approved
in writing) to the Collateral Agent to secure its Secured Obligations and (ii)
cause such Person to comply with the provisions thereof and of the Security
Agreement and Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement.

          (e)  Whenever any asset is added to the Collateral pursuant to this
Section 5.08, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and
Collateral Agent such legal opinions and other documents as the Administrative
Agent or Collateral Agent may reasonably request relating to the existence of
the relevant Lien Grantor, the corporate or other authority for and validity of
the Collateral Documents applicable thereto, the creation and perfection (or due
recordation) of the Lien purportedly created thereby and any other matters
relevant thereto (including the insurance), all in form and substance
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent.

          Section 5.09. Casualty Events.

Section 2.11(a).

          (b)  If any Condemnation Event occurs with respect to property owned
or leased by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or if any
negotiation or proceeding is commenced which might result in such a Condemnation
Event, or if any such Condemnation Event is proposed or threatened, the Borrower
or such Restricted Subsidiary (i) will, promptly after receiving notice or
obtaining knowledge thereof, do all things deemed necessary or appropriate by it
to preserve its interest in such property and promptly make claim for awards
payable with respect thereto and diligently pursue to conclusion such claim and
any suit, action or other proceeding necessary or appropriate to obtain payment
thereof and (ii) will not settle any such claim, negotiation or proceeding
without the consent of the Collateral Agent if an Enforcement Notice is in
effect.

          Section 5.10. Ranking. The Borrower and Vencor shall, and shall
procure that each other Guarantor shall, procure that its respective payment
obligations under the Notes or the Guaranty Agreements (as applicable) do and
will at all times rank at least pari passi in right and priority of payment with
all of its other present and future senior Debt.

          Section 5.11. Use of Proceeds and Letters of Credit. (a) The proceeds
of the Loans and Swingline Loans will be used by the Borrower to provide working
capital to, and for other general corporate purposes of, the Borrower and its
Restricted Subsidiaries on and after the Closing Date, including without

                                      96
<PAGE>

limitation, to make any payments (scheduled or otherwise) in respect of the PIP
Claim and other pre-petition claims payable pursuant to the Plan of

of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries.

          Section 5.12. Borrowing Base Reviews. (a) The Borrower shall, and
shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, permit any representatives
designated by the Collateral Monitoring Agent (including any consultants,
accountants, lawyers and appraisers retained by the Collateral Monitoring Agent)
to, upon reasonable notice to the Borrower, conduct evaluations and appraisals
(any such evaluation or appraisal, a "Borrowing Base Review") of the assets
included in the Borrowing Base and the Borrower's computation of the Borrowing
Base, such Borrowing Base Review to be of a scope and detail reasonably
satisfactory to the Required Lenders. The Borrower agrees to, and shall cause
each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, modify or adjust the computation of the
Borrowing Base (which may include maintaining additional reserves or modifying
the eligibility criteria for the components of the Borrowing Base) to the extent
reasonably required by the Collateral Monitoring Agent or the Required Lenders
as a result of any such Borrowing Base Review.

          (b) The Collateral Monitoring Agent shall be entitled to conduct a
Borrowing Base Review once in each calendar year; provided that (x) at any time
that the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Lenders equals or exceeds 66 2/3%
of the aggregate amount of the Commitments, the Collateral Monitoring Agent
shall be entitled to conduct a Borrowing Base Review on a semi-annual basis
(determined on the basis of a calendar year) and (y) at any time that an Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Monitoring Agent shall
be entitled to conduct a Borrowing Base Review upon the demand of either the
Collateral Agent and the Collateral Monitoring Agent or the Required Lenders.

          (c) The Borrower shall, in connection with each Borrowing Base Review,
reimburse the Collateral Monitoring Agent for all costs (including fees and
expenses of any representatives retained by the Collateral Monitoring Agent in
connection therewith) of conducting such Borrowing Base Review; provided that if
no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such Borrowing
Base Review, the Borrower shall be required to reimburse only up to $50,000 of
such costs.

          Section 5.13. Environmental Matters. From time to time after the
Closing, Vencor will review the effect of Environmental Laws on the business,
operations and properties of the Borrower and the Guarantors, in the course of

                                      97
<PAGE>

which reviews it will identify and evaluate associated liabilities and costs.
If, on the basis of such reviews, Vencor reasonably concludes that the foregoing
associated liabilities and costs are likely to have a Material Adverse Effect,
Vencor shall promptly deliver a certificate to the Administrative Agent setting
forth its conclusion and the action that Vencor proposes to take with respect
thereto.

          Section 5.14. Post-Closing. (a) No later than 15 days after the

setting forth the correct address of each real property that was owned by the
Borrower or any Guarantor as of the Closing Date.

          (b)  (i)   The Borrower agrees to deliver to the Collateral Agent as
soon as practicable but in no event later than 45 days after the Closing Date,
replacement stock certificates evidencing Equity Interests in each entity
referred to in paragraph 1 of Schedule 11, together with stock powers executed
in blank or other appropriate instruments of pledge relating thereto.

               (ii)  The Borrower agrees to deliver to the Collateral Agent as
          soon as practicable but in no event later than 60 days after the
          Closing Date, stock certificates evidencing Equity Interests in each
          entity referred to in paragraph 2 of Schedule 11, together with stock
          powers executed in blank or other appropriate instruments of pledge
          relating thereto.

               (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause
          (b), if despite the Borrower's best efforts, the Borrower fails to
          deliver any of the foregoing items to the Collateral Agent within the
          time periods specified above, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not
          be obligated to) consent to additional time periods for such delivery.

          (c)  If at any time the granting of a pledge or other security
interest over the Equity Interests in Cornerstone is not prohibited by Cayman
Islands law, Vencor shall ensure that a pledge or such other security interest
over such Equity Interests is granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of
the Lenders and that stock certificates evidencing such Equity Interests are
promptly delivered to the Collateral Agent together with signed stock powers or
other appropriate instruments of transfer relating thereto. Prior to such time,
Vencor shall ensure that no Lien over such Equity Interests is granted to any
Person.

real and mixed property, if any, of such Shell Subsidiary to be transferred to a
Restricted Subsidiary.

         permitted by Section 7.02(g) and (B) the aggregate outstanding
         principal amount of all Debt permitted by clause (iv) and this clause

                (vii) Debt incurred after the Closing Date and Guarantees of
         Debt entered into after the Closing Date; provided that (A) the Debt so
         incurred or Guaranteed is incurred in exchange for or to repay, prepay,
         repurchase, redeem, defease, retire or refinance ("refinance") any
         outstanding Debt of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary otherwise
         permitted by this Section and (B) the principal amount of the Debt so

         refinancing of the Senior Secured Credit Agreement shall be permitted
         only if, in addition to the limitations set forth in the foregoing
         proviso, (w) no principal amount of the Debt incurred or to be incurred
         pursuant to such refinancing (the "Refinancing Debt") shall be required
         to be repaid before the stated maturity of the Debt under the Senior
         Secured Credit Agreement immediately prior to such refinancing (other
         than in connection with a mandatory prepayment of such Debt on terms
         similar to those under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement immediately
         prior to such refinancing), (x) the interest payable on, and the fees
         payable in connection with, the Refinancing Debt shall not exceed the

                                     103
<PAGE>

     refinancing, (y) no restriction is imposed on the Borrower or any Guarantor
     in connection with the Refinancing Debt that is more restrictive in any
     material respect than the provisions in the Senior Secured Credit Agreement
     and the related security agreements and guarantees immediately prior to
     such refinancing and (z) the Refinancing Debt is subordinated to this
     Agreement on terms that are no less advantageous the Lenders than the terms
     on which the Senior Secured Credit Agreement is subordinated to this
     Agreement immediately prior to such refinancing;

          (viii) Permitted Intercompany Debt;

          (ix)   Debt consisting of (A) trade obligations or (B) accrued current

     and

          (v)    incur or be liable with respect to any other Debt;

(iv) and (v), Vencor may not give such Guarantee or incur such Debt unless its
obligations thereunder are expressly subordinated to the Vencor Guaranty
pursuant to subordination provisions in substantially the form of Exhibit J. The
ability of any Vencor Unrestricted Subsidiary to incur Debt is not limited by
this Agreement.

     (e)  any Lien existing on any asset of any Person at the time such Person
becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or merges into the Borrower or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with an Acquisition; provided that such
Lien was not created in contemplation of such event and does not extend to any
other property of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary;

     (f)  Liens upon the assets of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries
subject to Capital Lease Obligations to the extent permitted by Section
7.01(a)(iv); provided that (i) such Liens only serve to secure the payment of
Debt arising under such Capital Lease Obligation, (ii) the Lien encumbering the
asset giving rise to the Capital Lease Obligation does not encumber any other
asset of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary and (iii) the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of all Debt secured pursuant to this clause (f) and
clause (g) shall not exceed $25,000,000;

     (g)  any Lien on any asset securing Debt incurred or assumed for the

and

                                     105
<PAGE>

attaches to no asset other than such asset so financed and (ii) the aggregate

     (h)  Liens securing Debt of the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary to the
Borrower or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary;

     (i)  any Lien arising out of the refinancing (as defined in Section
7.01(a)(vii)) of any Debt secured by any Lien permitted by this Section,
provided that the principal amount of such Debt is not increased and such
refinanced Debt is not secured by any additional assets;

     (j)  Permitted Encumbrances;

amount not exceeding $2,000,000 securing Interest Rate Agreements (other than

Collateral Agent (for the benefit of lenders under the Senior Secured Credit
Agreement).

     Section 7.03. Consolidations, Mergers and Asset Sales.

     (a)  The Borrower shall not, Vencor shall not, and the Borrower shall not
permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, consolidate or merge with or into, or sell,
lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to any
other Person, except that:

          (i)    Vencor may merge with any Person (other than the Borrower or a
     Restricted Subsidiary) if Vencor is the surviving corporation and,
     immediately after such merger (and giving effect thereto), no Default shall
     have occurred and be continuing;

          (ii)   the Borrower may merge with any Person (other than Vencor) if
     the Borrower is the surviving corporation and, immediately after such
     merger (and giving effect thereto), no Default shall have occurred and be
     continuing; and

          (iii)  any Restricted Subsidiary may merge or consolidate with or
     into, and the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary may transfer all or
     substantially all of its assets to, any Person if, immediately after such

                                     106
<PAGE>

     transaction (and giving effect thereto), no Default shall have occurred and
     be continuing and (A) the surviving corporation or transferee is the
     Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary, (B) in the case of a Restricted
     Subsidiary, such merger, consolidation or transfer of all or substantially
     all assets is in conjunction with a disposition by the Borrower and its
     Restricted Subsidiaries of their entire investment in such Subsidiary and
     such disposition is not prohibited by any provision of the Financing
     Documents (other than this subsection (a)); provided that the foregoing
     shall not prohibit any transaction permitted by Section 7.03(d), (C) the
     Required Lenders shall have consented to such transaction or (D)
     immediately after such transaction is consummated, the aggregate book value
     of all assets disposed of in transactions permitted by this clause (D)
     during the period of 365 days then ended (whether disposed of directly or
     by means of a merger, consolidation or transfer of Equity Interests) would
     not exceed 5% of Consolidated Net Worth as shown on the Most Recent
     Financial Statements.

For purposes of Section 7.03(a)(iii)(D), the book value of the assets disposed
of in each transaction shall be the book value of such assets on the books of
the relevant Subsidiary immediately before such disposition.

     (b)  If the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries dispose of their
entire investment in any Restricted Subsidiary as permitted by subsection (a)
above, the Administrative Agent shall at the Borrower's request instruct the
Collateral Agent, concurrently with or at any time after such disposition, to
release all security interests in Equity Interests in such Subsidiary granted by
the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries to the Collateral Agent. In
addition, (i) such Restricted Subsidiary's Subsidiary Guaranty shall be
automatically released and it shall cease to be a party to the Security
Agreement, in each case concurrently with such disposition, and (ii) the
Administrative Agent shall at the Borrower's request instruct the Collateral
Agent, concurrently with or at any time after such disposition, to release all
security interests granted by such Subsidiary to secure its Subsidiary Guaranty
and return to such Subsidiary any of its assets held by the Collateral Agent
under the Collateral Documents.

     (c)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, clause (a) of this Section 7.03 shall
not apply to any sale or other disposition of Atria Shares or BHC Shares, and
any such transaction shall be excluded from calculations under Section
7.03(a)(iii)(D).

     (d)  The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary
to, make any Asset Sale, unless:

          (i)    the consideration received from such Asset Sale shall be in an
     amount at least equal to the fair market value thereof (as determined in

                                     107
<PAGE>

     good faith by the Borrower (which determination, if the sale price exceeds
     $5,000,000, shall be evidenced by a resolution of the Borrower's Board of
     Directors) as at the time of such Asset Sale); and

          (ii)   at least 80% of the consideration received shall be in the form
     of cash received at closing (for purposes of this clause only, the
     assumption by the purchaser of Debt or other obligations of the Borrower or
     a Restricted Subsidiary relating to the assets subject to such Asset Sale
     pursuant to a customary novation agreement and the release of the Borrower
     or the Restricted Subsidiary (as the case may be) of its obligations
     relating to such Debt or other obligations, and instruments or securities
     received from the purchaser that are promptly, but in any event within 30
     days of the closing, converted by the Borrower to cash, to the extent of
     the cash actually so received, shall be considered cash received at
     closing); and

          (iii)  the Net Cash Proceeds received at such closing shall be
     deposited in a Collateral Account and applied as set forth in Section
     2.11(a);

provided that the Kingfish Transaction shall not be subject to the foregoing
provisions; and provided further that except in the case of a Qualified
Transaction, any sale or other transfer of, or any release of Liens relating to,
any Accounts or any books or records relating thereto in connection with any
Asset Sale will require the prior written consent of the Required Lenders.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.03 to the contrary, so long as no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower and its Restricted
Subsidiaries may make Permitted Delinquent Account Assignments.

     SECTION 7.04. Limitations on Transactions with Affiliates. The Borrower
shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or
indirectly, pay any funds to or for the account of, make any Investment in,
lease, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any assets, tangible or
intangible, to, or participate in, or effect any transaction in connection with
any joint enterprise or other joint arrangement with, any Affiliate; provided
that the foregoing shall not prohibit:

          (i)    the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary from performing its
     obligations under the Existing Affiliate Agreements;

          (ii)   the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary from making any

     the time of the creation of such Debt from a lender which was not an
     Affiliate;

of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries in such former Restricted
Subsidiary (valued at an amount equal to the Borrower's remaining proportional
share of the fair market value of such former Restricted Subsidiary's assets
less liabilities), if deemed made at that time, would be permitted under Section
7.08 and (ii) the Borrower complies with Section 7.03(d) with respect to the

          it would meet a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (EBITDA) of at least
          3.5:1, it could, on the date of such declaration and of such

                                     112

          payment, incur at least $1.00 of additional Debt pursuant to such
          test; and

                 (B)  the aggregate amount expended for all Restricted Payments
          made pursuant to clause (ii) and this clause (v) on or after the
          Closing Date would not exceed 25% of the aggregate Free Cash Flow
          calculated on a cumulative basis during the period, taken as one
          accounting period, beginning on the first day of the first full Fiscal

          Borrower's most recently completed Fiscal Quarter for which financial
          statements have been provided pursuant to this Agreement;

provided that Restricted Payments may be declared and made pursuant to clauses
(ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) only if at the time of, and after giving effect to, the

     consideration for which consists of Qualified Equity Interests of Vencor;

          (iii)  up to $7.7 million in connection with the Kingfish Transaction;

                                     113
<PAGE>

assets incidental thereto if, at the time of, and after giving effect to, each
such Restricted Investment:

          (i)    no Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

          (ii)   the aggregate amount of such Restricted Investment and all
     other Restricted Investments made in reliance on this clause (net of, with
     respect to a Restricted Investment in any particular Person made pursuant
     to this clause, the after-tax cash return thereon received after the
     Closing Date as a result of any sale for cash, repayment, redemption,
     liquidating distribution or other cash realization (not included in
     Consolidated Net Income), but not to exceed the amount of such Restricted

     clause) plus the aggregate principal amount of related Debt incurred
     pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(vi) and still outstanding (including any
     refinance thereof pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(vii)) (such Debt, "Investment
     Related Debt") does not exceed $30,000,000;

provided that if the aggregate amount of Restricted Investments made by the
Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries in reliance on this clause plus the
aggregate principal amount of Investment Related Debt at any time is equal to
$30,000,000 or if such threshold would be exceeded by the making of any proposed
Restricted Investment, then the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries may
make additional Restricted Investments involving Healthcare Facilities and
assets incidental thereto if (x) the Borrower or the Restricted Subsidiary, as
the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent that it proposes to make a
Restricted Investment pursuant to this proviso, which notice shall specify the
amount of such Restricted Investment and the date on which such Restricted
Investment is proposed to be made and (y) at the time of, and after giving
effect to, each such additional Restricted Investment:

                    (1)  no Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

                    (2)  the aggregate amount of such additional Restricted
               Investment and all other Restricted Investments made in reliance
               on this proviso plus the aggregate principal amount of Investment
               Related Debt does not exceed the lesser of (x) the amount of
               additional Debt that the Borrower could then incur assuming that
               (aa) the Borrower were subject to a Debt-incurrence test that
               required it to demonstrate on a pro forma basis that, after
               giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Debt, it would
               then meet a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio

                                      114
<PAGE>

               (EBITDA) of at least 3.5:1, (bb) pro forma effect is given to the
               incurrence of such additional Debt as if such additional Debt had
               been incurred on the first day of the reference period referred
               to in the definition of "Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (EBITDA)"
               and (cc) such additional Debt bears interest at the rate that
               would apply to a Euro-Dollar Loan with Interest Periods of one
               month each had such Loan been made at the time of, and after
               giving effect to, such additional Restricted Investment and (y)
               $20,000,000.

     Section 7.09. No Change of Fiscal Periods. Neither the Borrower nor Vencor
shall change the date on which any of its Fiscal Years or Fiscal Quarters ends,

affected by such change to eliminate the effect thereof).

                                      115
<PAGE>

               (A)  incur Debt in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt with

          7.01(a), and

               (B)  create a Lien on such property or asset securing such
          Attributable Debt pursuant to Section 7.02,

     in which case, the corresponding Debt and Lien will be deemed incurred
     pursuant to those provisions, and

     transaction.

accelerate the date of payment, of any obligation of the Borrower or any
Guarantor thereunder.

the Lenders.

     (c)  The Borrower shall not, Vencor shall not, and the Borrower shall not
permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, consent to or solicit any amendment or

     Section 8.01. Events of Default. If one or more of the following events
(each, an "Event of Default") shall have occurred and be continuing:

the operation of, or to the use, maintenance, protection, preservation or status
of property used directly in the operation of, a particular Healthcare Facility
that is a Master Lease Property and there is a representation, covenant or
agreement dealing with substantially the same subject matter in the applicable
Master Lease Agreement, such failure shall not constitute an Event of Default

protection, preservation or status of property used directly in the operation
of, one or more Healthcare Facilities that are subject to one or more Third
Party Leases and it would not be an Event of Default under Section 8.01(i) if at
such time all such Third Party Leases were terminated (or the surrender or
repossession of the property leased thereunder were required), such failure
shall not constitute an Event of Default pursuant to this Section 8.01(d); or

     (e)  any representation, warranty, certification or statement made by the
Borrower or any Guarantor in any Financing Document or in any certificate,
financial statement or other document delivered pursuant thereto shall prove to

with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, would enable) the holder or
holders of such Financial Accommodation or any Person acting on behalf of such
holder or holders to accelerate the maturity thereof, and the aggregate amount
that would be payable by the Borrower and the Guarantors upon the acceleration
of all Financial Accommodations referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above equals
or exceeds $2,500,000; provided that it shall not be an Event of Default under
this clause (g) if such event or condition is an event of default under the
instrument evidencing such Financial Accommodation and arises with respect to an
Event of Default (as defined in the applicable Master Lease Agreement) and no
other event of default shall have then occurred and be continuing under such
instrument;

     (h)  (x) the termination of the lease of one or more Healthcare Facilities
under a Master Lease Agreement, or the surrender or repossession of one or more
Healthcare Facilities leased thereunder, prior to the scheduled termination
thereof; provided that (i) this subsection (h)(x) shall not apply to (A) any
voluntary termination of a lease of a Healthcare Facility at a time when no
Event of Default (as defined in the Master Lease Agreement) exists thereunder or
is reasonably likely to occur or (B) any termination of a lease of a Healthcare
Facility pursuant to a purchase option exercised in accordance with the terms
thereof and (ii) no Event of Default shall exist under this subsection (h)(x) at
any time, unless the EBITDAR attributable to all Healthcare Facilities covered
by this subsection (h)(x) then being terminated, surrendered or repossessed (the
Fiscal Quarter in which such termination, surrender or repossession occurs, the
"Current Fiscal Quarter"), and the EBITDAR attributable to all Healthcare
Facilities with respect to which such a termination, surrender or repossession
covered by this subsection (h)(x) occurred during the Current Fiscal Quarter and

Consolidated EBITDAR during such four consecutive Fiscal Quarter period (the
EBITDAR attributable to each such Healthcare Facility and the Consolidated
EBITDAR to be calculated, in each case, for the most recently ended period of
four consecutive Fiscal Quarters for which the necessary information is
available, in each case annualized if such fiscal information is not available
for a full four Fiscal Quarters following the Closing Date);

          Agreement) occurs and is continuing and such Event of Default remains
          uncured for a period of 10 days after written notice thereof has been
          given to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent at the request of
          the Required Lenders; provided that if the only such Events of Default
          that have occurred and are continuing are Facility Defaults (as
          defined in any Master Lease Agreement) and the number of Healthcare
          Facilities to which such Facility Defaults relate does not exceed 15,

enable the counter-party thereunder to require, (i) the termination of one or
more Third Party Leases, or the surrender or repossession of the property leased
thereunder, prior to the scheduled termination thereof or (ii) the termination
of one or more Management Contracts prior to the scheduled termination thereof;

termination of a Third Party Lease or Management Contract by the Borrower or a
Guarantor at a time when no default by it thereunder exists or is reasonably
likely to occur and (y) no Event of Default shall exist under this subsection
(i) at any time, unless the EBITDA attributable to all Healthcare Facilities

subsection (i) and the EBITDA attributable to all Healthcare Facilities with
respect to which such a termination, surrender or repossession occurred during
the preceding 12 months exceed, in the aggregate, 12% of Consolidated EBITDA

the most recent 12 months of full operation thereof for which the necessary
financial information is available and Consolidated EBITDA to be calculated for
the most recently ended period of four consecutive Fiscal Quarters for which the
necessary financial information is available, in each case annualized if such

liability (other than for premiums under Section 4007 of ERISA) in respect of,
or to cause a trustee to be appointed to administer any Material Plan; or a
condition shall exist by reason of which the PBGC would be entitled to obtain a
decree adjudicating that any Material Plan must be terminated; or there shall
occur a complete or partial withdrawal from, or a default, within the meaning of
Section 4219(c)(5) of ERISA, with respect to, one or more Multiemployer Plans
which could cause one or more members of the ERISA Group to incur a current
payment obligation in excess of $1,000,000; or

          (k)  one or more Enforceable Judgments for the payment of money
aggregating in excess of $10,000,000 shall be rendered against the Borrower or
one or more of the Guarantors and shall not have been satisfied; or

          (l)  any Lien created by any of the Collateral Documents shall at any
time fail to constitute a valid and perfected Lien on all of the Collateral
purported to be subject to such Lien, subject to no prior or equal Lien (other
than Permitted Liens), or the Borrower or any Guarantor shall so assert in
writing; provided that it shall not be an Event of Default under this clause (l)
if the Liens in question are not valid or not perfected, or are subject to such
other Liens, only in respect of Collateral used directly in the operation of one
or more particular Healthcare Facilities (i) that are Master Lease Properties
and the number of such Facilities does not exceed 15 or (ii) that are subject to
one or more Third Party Leases and it would not be an Event of Default under
8.01(i) if at such time all such Third Party Leases were terminated (or the
surrender or repossession of the property leased thereunder were required); or

          (m)  any provision of any Guaranty Agreement shall cease to be in full
force and effect (except as permitted by Section 7.03(b)) or any Guarantor, or

          relief with respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy,
          insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeking
          the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other
          similar official of it or any substantial part of its property, or
          shall consent to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking
          possession by any such official in an involuntary case or other
          proceeding commenced against it, or shall make a general assignment
          for the benefit of creditors, or shall fail generally to pay its debts
          as they become due, or shall take any corporate action to authorize

                 (ii)  an involuntary case or other proceeding shall be
          commenced against the Borrower or any Guarantor seeking liquidation,
          reorganization or other relief with respect to it or its debts under
          any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in
          effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator,

          its property, and such involuntary case or other proceeding shall
          remain undismissed and unstayed for a period of 60 days; or an order
          for relief shall be entered against it under the Federal bankruptcy
          laws as now or hereafter in effect; or

          (o)  any Person or group of Persons (within the meaning of Section 13
or 14 of the Securities Exchange Act) (other than any Person which acquires
shares of common stock of Vencor on the Closing Date pursuant the Plan of
Reorganization (an "Excluded Person") or any group of Persons of which Excluded
Persons have majority interest) shall have acquired beneficial ownership (within
the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated by the SEC under said Act) of more than
50% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Vencor; or, during any period
of 24 consecutive calendar months, individuals who were members of the board of
directors of Vencor on the first day of such period (together with any new
directors whose election or appointment by such members or whose nomination for
election by the shareholders of Vencor was approved by a vote of a majority of
the directors then still in office who were either directors at the beginning of
such period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so
approved) shall cease to constitute a majority of the board of directors of
Vencor,

then, and in every such event the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders
may:

                 (i)   by notice to the Borrower terminate the Commitments and
          the Swingline Commitment and they shall thereupon terminate;

                 (ii)  by notice to each LC Issuing Bank instruct such LC
          Issuing Bank (x) not to extend the expiry date of any outstanding
          Letter of Credit and/or (y) in the case of any Evergreen Letter of
          Credit, to give notice to the beneficiary thereof terminating such
          Letter of Credit as soon as is permitted by the provisions thereof,
          whereupon such LC Issuing Bank shall deliver notice to that effect
          promptly (or as soon thereafter as is permitted by the provisions of
          the relevant Letter of Credit) to the beneficiary of each such Letter
          of Credit and the Borrower; and

                 (iii) by notice to the Borrower, declare the Loans and the
          Swingline Loans and all other amounts in respect of the Obligations
          (in

                                      122
<PAGE>

          each case together with accrued interest thereon) to be, and they
          shall thereupon become, immediately due and payable without
          presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which
          are hereby waived by the Borrower.

provided that if any event specified above in Section 8.01(n) occurs, then
without notice to the Borrower or any other act by any Agent or any Lender, the
Commitments and the Swingline Commitments shall thereupon terminate and all the
Loans and the Swingline Loans and all other amounts in respect of the
Obligations (in each case together with accrued interest thereon) shall become
immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice
of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower.

          Section 8.02. Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall give
notice to the Borrower under Section 8.01 promptly upon being requested to do so
by the Required Lenders and shall thereupon notify all the Lenders thereof.

          Section 8.03. Enforcement Notice. If the Administrative Agent is (i)
instructed to do so by the Required Lenders at any time after the Loans and
Swingline Loans become immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 8.01(n),
or (ii) instructed to do so by the Required Lenders at any time after the Loans
and Swingline Loans have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 8.01,
the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Collateral Agent an Enforcement
Notice directing the Collateral Agent to exercise one or more specific remedies
under the Collateral Documents or any other right or remedy available at law or
in equity. Concurrently with the delivery of any such Enforcement Notice to the
Collateral Agent, all outstanding Loans and Swingline Loans and all other
amounts in respect of the Obligations not theretofore declared due and payable
shall automatically become immediately due and payable.

          Section 8.04. Cash Cover. The Borrower agrees that, if any Event of
Default specified in Section 8.01 shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Borrower shall, if requested by the Administrative Agent upon instruction from
the Required Lenders, pay (and, if any Event of Default specified in Section
8.01(n) occurs, forthwith, without any demand or the taking of any other action
by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, it shall pay) to the Collateral Agent
an amount in immediately available funds equal to the then aggregate amount
available for subsequent drawings under all outstanding Letters of Credit to be
held for the benefit of the Lenders and the LC Issuing Banks in accordance with
the Collateral Documents to secure the payment of all LC Reimbursement
Obligations arising from subsequent drawings under such Letters of Credit.

Electric Capital Corporation shall have the same rights and powers under the

deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with
the Borrower or any of the Guarantors or their Affiliates as if it were not one

<PAGE>

shall be required to take any action with respect to any Default, except as

with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower or any Guarantor),
independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be
liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

         Section 9.05. Liability of Agents. None of the Agents or their
respective affiliates or their respective directors, officers, agents or
employees shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in connection
with the Financing Documents (i) with the consent or at the request of the
Required Lenders or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct. None of the Agents or their respective affiliates or their
respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or
have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty
or representation made in connection with any Financing Document or any Credit
Event; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements
of the Borrower or any Guarantor under any Financing Document; (iii) the
satisfaction of any condition specified in Article 3 except, in the case of the
Administrative Agent, receipt of items required to be delivered to it; (iv) the
validity, effectiveness or genuineness of any Financing Document or any other
instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith; or (v) the existence,

None of the Agents shall incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any
notice, consent, certificate, statement, or other writing (which may be a bank
wire, telex, facsimile copy or similar writing) believed by it to be genuine or
to be signed by the proper party or parties.

         Section 9.06. Indemnification. The Lenders shall, ratably in accordance
with their respective Revolving Credit Exposures, indemnify each Agent, their
respective affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and
employees (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and the Guarantors)
against any cost, expense (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements),
claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from such
indemnitee's gross negligence or willful misconduct) that such indemnitee may
suffer or incur in connection with the Financing Documents or any action taken
or omitted by such indemnitees thereunder.

         Section 9.07. Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has,
independently and without reliance on the Agents or any other Lender, and based
on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also

                                      125
<PAGE>

acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or
any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or
not taking any action under the Financing Documents.

     Section 9.08.  Agents' Fees. The Borrower will pay fees to each Agent in
the amounts and at the times agreed to by the Borrower and such Agent.

     Section 9.09.  Successor Agents.  (a) Any Agent may resign at any time (a
"Retiring Agent") by giving notice thereof to the Lenders, the other Agents and
the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the
right to appoint a successor for the Retiring Agent (a "Successor Agent"). If no
Successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall
have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the Retiring Agent gives
notice of resignation, then the Retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders,
appoint a Successor Agent, which shall be a Lender or any other commercial bank
organized or licensed under the laws of the United States or any State thereof
and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000; provided
that if the Collateral Agent is removed pursuant to Section 9.10(c) and if the
Administrative Agent is also the Collateral Agent, then the Administrative Agent
shall have the absolute right to resign as Administrative Agent immediately upon
3 days notice, and such resignation shall become effective, regardless of
whether a Successor Agent has been appointed and shall have no obligation to
appoint a Successor Agent. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as a Successor
Agent, such Successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with
all the rights and duties of the Retiring Agent, and the Retiring Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder; provided that if the
Administrative Agent resigns as Administrative Agent pursuant to the proviso in
the previous sentence, then the Administrative Agent shall be discharged from
its duties and obligations hereunder immediately upon the expiry of the 3 day
period referred to in such proviso. After any Retiring Agent resigns as an Agent
hereunder, the provisions of this Article 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any
actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was one of the Agents.

     (b)  Without prejudice to its rights under paragraph (a), Morgan may resign
as an Agent at any time and may appoint any other subsidiary of J.P. Morgan
Chase & Co. to such role by giving written notice thereof to each of the Lenders
and the Borrower. Upon such appointment, such subsidiary shall thereupon succeed
to and become vested with all the rights and duties of Morgan in such capacity
and Morgan shall be discharged from its duties and obligations in such capacity
hereunder. After Morgan resigns as Agent under this paragraph (b), the
provisions of this Article 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken
or omitted to be taken by it while it was one of the Agents.

     Section 9.10. Collateral Agents. (a) As to any matters not expressly
provided for in the Collateral Documents (including the timing and methods of
realization upon the Collateral), the Collateral Agent and the Collateral
Monitoring Agent shall act or refrain from acting in accordance with written
instructions from the Required Lenders or, in the absence of such instructions,
in accordance with its respective discretion; provided that neither the
Collateral Agent nor the Collateral Monitoring Agent shall be obligated to take
any action if the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Monitoring Agent believes
that such action is or may be contrary to any applicable law or might cause the
Collateral Agent or the Collateral Monitoring Agent to incur any loss or
liability for which it has not been indemnified to its satisfaction.

     (b)  Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Collateral Monitoring Agent shall
be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral
or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of any Lien on any
of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reasons of any
action or omission to act on its part under the Collateral Documents. The
Collateral Agent and the Collateral Monitoring Agent shall have no duty to
ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of
the Collateral Documents by the Borrower or any of the Guarantors.

     (c)  The Collateral Agent may be removed at the written direction of the
Lenders (other than the Collateral Agent) holding in excess of eighty percent of
the Revolving Credit Exposure (excluding the Collateral Agent's Revolving Credit
Exposure).

                           Changes in Circumstances

     Section 10.01.  Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair.
If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Euro-Dollar Loan:

           (a)  the Administrative Agent is unable to determine the applicable
     London Interbank Offered Rate for such Interest Period, or

           (b)  Lenders holding Notes evidencing 50% or more of the aggregate
     outstanding principal amount of the Loans to which such Interest Period
     will apply advise the Administrative Agent that the London Interbank
     Offered Rate as determined by the Administrative Agent will not adequately
     and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding their Euro-Dollar
     Loans for such Interest Period,

                                      127
<PAGE>

the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and
the Lenders, whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that
the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, (i) the
obligations of the Lenders to make Euro-Dollar Loans, or to convert outstanding
Loans to Euro-Dollar Loans, shall be suspended and (ii) each outstanding Euro-
Dollar Loan shall be converted into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then
current Interest Period applicable thereto. Unless the Borrower notifies the
Administrative Agent at least two Business Days before the date of any affected
Borrowing for which a Notice of Borrowing has previously been given that it
elects not to borrow on such date, such Borrowing shall instead be made as a
Base Rate Borrowing.

     Section 10.02. Illegality.  If, on or after the date hereof, the adoption
of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law,
rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration
thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged
with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender
(or its Euro-Dollar Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or
not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable
agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender (or its Euro-Dollar
Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund its Euro-Dollar Loans and such Lender
shall so notify the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall
forthwith give notice thereof to the other Lenders and the Borrower, whereupon
until such Lender notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that the
circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of
such Lender to make Euro-Dollar Loans, or to convert outstanding Base Rate Loans
into Euro-Dollar Loans, shall be suspended. Before giving any notice to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section, such Lender shall designate a
different Euro-Dollar Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for
giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise
disadvantageous to such Lender. If such notice is given, each Euro-Dollar Loan
of such Lender then outstanding shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan either
(i) on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Euro-
Dollar Loan if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Loan
to such day or (ii) immediately if such Lender shall determine that it may not
lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Loan to such day.

     Section 10.03.  Increased Cost and Reduced Return. (a) If, on or after the
date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any
change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central
bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof, or compliance by any Lender Party (other than the Agents) with any

                                      128
<PAGE>

request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such
authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall impose, modify or deem
applicable any reserve, special deposit, insurance assessment or similar
requirement (including any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System but excluding any such requirement included in an
applicable Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage) against assets of, deposits with or
for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender Party (other than the
Agents) or shall impose on any Lender Party (other than the Agents) or the
London interbank market any other condition affecting its Euro-Dollar Loans, its
Note, its obligation to make Euro-Dollar Loans or Swingline Loans, or its
obligation to participate in any Letter of Credit, and the result of any of the
foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender Party of making or maintaining
its Euro-Dollar Loans or participating in any Letter of Credit or increase the
cost to the Swingline Bank of maintaining the Swingline Commitment or to reduce
the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender Party under this
Agreement or under its Note with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by such
Lender Party to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by such Lender
Party (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such
Lender Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender
Party for such increased cost or reduction; provided that the Borrower shall not
be liable to any Lender Party in respect of any such increased cost or reduction
with respect to any period of time more than three months before the Borrower
receives the notice required by the first sentence of Section 10.03(c) or more
than six months before the Borrower receives the relevant certificate referred
to in the second sentence of Section 10.03(c).

     (b)  If any Lender Party (other than the Agents) shall have determined
that, after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or
regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any such law, rule or
regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any
governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or any request or directive regarding
capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority,
central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the
rate of return on capital of such Lender Party (or its Parent) as a consequence
of such Lender Party's obligations hereunder to a level below that which such
Lender Party (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change,
request or directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to
capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender Party to be material, then
from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Lender Party (with a copy
to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender Party such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate it for such reduction; provided
that the Borrower shall not be liable to any Lender Party in respect of any such

                                      129
<PAGE>

reduction with respect to any period of time more than three months prior to the
date of the notice required by the first sentence of Section 10.03(c).

     (c)  Each Lender Party (other than the Agents) will promptly notify the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge,
occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle it to compensation pursuant
to this Section and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office or LC
Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of,
such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Lender Party, be
otherwise disadvantageous to it. A certificate of any such Lender Party claiming
compensation under this Section and setting forth the additional amount or
amounts to be paid to it hereunder, showing the calculation thereof in
reasonable detail, shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In
determining such amount, such Lender Party may use any reasonable averaging and
attribution methods.

     Section 10.04.  Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by the Borrower and the
Guarantors to or for the account of any Lender Party under any Financing
Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all
present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings,
and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender
Party, taxes imposed on its net income, and franchise or similar taxes imposed
on it, by (i) the jurisdiction under the laws of which it is organized or any
political subdivision thereof, (ii) in the case of each Lender or the Swingline
Bank, the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office or any political
subdivision thereof and (iii) in the case of each LC Issuing Bank, the
jurisdiction of its LC Office or any political subdivision thereof (all such
non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings
and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as "Taxes"). If the Borrower or
any Guarantor shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of
any sum payable under any Financing Document to any Lender Party, (i) the sum
payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required
deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under
this Section 10.04) such Lender Party receives an amount equal to the sum it
would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower or the
relevant Guarantor shall make such deductions, (iii) the Borrower or the
relevant Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation
authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law, and (iv) the
Borrower or the relevant Guarantor shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at
its address specified in or pursuant to Section 11.01, the original or a
certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

     (b)  In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future
stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, or charges or
similar

                                      130
<PAGE>

levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any other Financing
Document or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, any
Financing Document (hereinafter referred to as "Other Taxes").

          (c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender Party for the full
amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or
asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 10.04) paid
by such Lender Party and any liability (including penalties, interest and
expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall
be made within 15 days from the date such Lender Party makes demand therefor.

          (d) Each Lender Party organized under the laws of a jurisdiction
outside the United States, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery
of this Agreement in the case of each Lender Party listed on the signature pages
hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender Party in the
case of each other Lender Party, and from time to time thereafter if requested
in writing by the Borrower (but only so long as such Lender Party remains
lawfully able to do so), shall provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
with (i) Internal Revenue Service form W-8BEN, or any successor form prescribed
by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender Party is entitled
to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party
which reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest under the
Financing Documents or (ii) an Internal Revenue Service form W-8ECI, or any
successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that the
income receivable by it pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with
the conduct of a trade or business in the United States. If the form provided by
a Lender Party at the time such Lender Party first becomes a party to this
Agreement indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of
zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be excluded from "Taxes" as defined in
Section 10.04(a).

          (e) For any period with respect to which a Lender Party has failed to
provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the appropriate form
pursuant to Section 10.04(d) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty,
law or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally
was required to be provided), such Lender Party shall not be entitled to
indemnification under Section 10.04(a) with respect to Taxes imposed by the
United States; provided that should a Lender Party, which is otherwise exempt
from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, become subject to Taxes
because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower or the
relevant Guarantor shall take such steps as such Lender Party shall reasonably
request to assist such Lender Party to recover such Taxes.

          (f) If the Borrower or any Guarantor is required to pay additional
amounts to or for the account of any Lender Party pursuant to this Section
10.04,

                                      131
<PAGE>

then such Lender Party will change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending
Office or LC Office, as the case may be, so as to eliminate or reduce any such
additional payment which may thereafter accrue if such change, in the sole
judgment of such Lender Party, is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender
Party.

          (g) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the
Borrower or Vencor hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower and
the Guarantors contained in this Section 10.04 (as set forth herein and
incorporated by reference in the Guaranty Agreements) shall survive the payment
in full of the principal of and interest on the Loans, the Swingline Loans and
the LC Reimbursement Obligations.

          Section 10.05. Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Euro-Dollar
Loans. If (x) the obligation of any Lender to make or maintain Euro-Dollar Loans
has been suspended pursuant to Section 10.02 or (y) any Lender has demanded
compensation under Section 10.03 or 10.04 with respect to its Euro-Dollar Loans
and the Borrower shall, by at least five Euro-Dollar Business Days' prior notice
to such Lender through the Administrative Agent, have elected that the
provisions of this Section 10.05 shall apply to such Lender, then, unless and
until such Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to
such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist, all Loans which
would otherwise be made by such Lender as (or continued as or converted into)
Euro-Dollar Loans shall instead be Base Rate Loans (on which interest and
principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Euro-Dollar Loans
of the other Lenders). If such Lender notifies the Borrower that the
circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer apply, the principal amount
of each such Base Rate Loan shall be converted into a Euro-Dollar Loan on the
first day of the next succeeding Interest Period applicable to the related
Euro-Dollar Loans of the other Lenders.

          Section 10.06. Substitution of Lenders. (a) If any Lender (a "Selling
Lender") (i) gives notice pursuant to Section 10.02 that it is unlawful or
impossible for such Lender to make, maintain or fund its Euro-Dollar Loans or
(ii) demands compensation under Section 10.03 or 10.04, the Borrower shall have
the right, with the assistance of the Administrative Agent, to seek one or more
banks or other institutions (collectively, the "Purchasing Lenders") willing to
purchase the outstanding Loans of the Selling Lender and to purchase its
participation in any outstanding LC Reimbursement Obligations and to assume its
Commitment and its participation in any outstanding Letters of Credit on the
terms specified in this Section 10.06; provided that any such purchase and
assumption by a Purchasing Lender that is not already a Lender shall be subject
to the consent of the Administrative Agent and each LC Issuing Bank (which
consents shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Selling Lender shall be
obligated to sell its outstanding Loans and its participation in any outstanding
LC

                                      132
<PAGE>

Reimbursement Obligations to such Purchasing Lender or Lenders (which may
include one or more of the Lenders) within 15 days after receiving notice from
the Borrower requiring it to do so, at an aggregate price equal to the
outstanding principal amount thereof plus unpaid interest accrued thereon up to
but excluding the date of sale.

          (b) In connection with any such sale, and as a condition thereof, the
Borrower shall pay to the Selling Lender all commitment fees and letter of
credit fees accrued for its account hereunder to but excluding the date of such
sale, plus, if demanded by the Selling Lender at least two Business Days prior
to such sale, (i) the amount of any compensation which would be due to the
Selling Lender under Section 2.15 if the Borrower had prepaid the outstanding
Euro-Dollar Loans of the Selling Lender on the date of such sale and (ii) any
additional compensation accrued for its account under Section 10.03 to but
excluding said date.

          (c) Upon any such sale, the Selling Lender, as assignor, each
Purchasing Lender, as assignee, the Administrative Agent and each LC Issuing
Bank shall enter into an appropriate assignment and assumption agreement and,
upon payment of the purchase price to be paid pursuant thereto, (i) the
Purchasing Lender or Lenders shall assume the Selling Lender's Commitment and
its participation in any outstanding Letters of Credit, and the Selling Lender
shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent and
either (ii) if such Purchasing Lender is already one of the Lenders, its
Commitment shall be increased by an amount equal to its ratable share of the
Selling Lender's Commitment and its participations in the outstanding Letters of
Credit shall be increased by its ratable share of the Selling Lender's
participations therein or (iii) if such Purchasing Lender is not already one of
the Lenders, it shall become a Lender party to this Agreement, shall be deemed
to be an Assignee hereunder and shall have all the rights and obligations of a
Lender with a Commitment equal to its ratable share of the Selling Lender's
Commitment and with a participation in the outstanding Letters of Credit equal
to its ratable share of the Selling Lender's participation in such Letters of
Credit.

          (d) Upon the consummation of any sale pursuant to this Section 10.06,
the Selling Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make
appropriate arrangements so that, if required, each Purchasing Lender receives a
new Note complying with the provisions of Section 2.04.

                                 MISCELLANEOUS

         Section 11.01. Notices. Unless otherwise specified herein, all notices,
requests and other communications to any party under any Financing Document
shall be in writing (including bank wire, facsimile copy or similar writing) and
shall be given to such party at its address or facsimile number set forth on the
signature pages hereof (or, in the case of any Lender, in its Administrative
Questionnaire) or such other address or facsimile number as such party may
hereafter specify for the purpose by notice to the Agents and the Borrower. Each
such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by
facsimile transmission, when transmitted to the facsimile number specified in or
pursuant to this Section 11.01 and confirmation of receipt is received, (ii) if
given by mail, ten days after such communication is deposited in the mails with
first class postage prepaid, addressed as aforesaid, or (iii) if given by any
other means, when delivered at the address specified in or pursuant to this
Section 11.01, provided that notices and requests to the Administrative Agent
under Article 2, 8 or 10 shall not be effective until received.

         Section 11.02. No Waiver. No failure or delay by the Lender Parties, or
any of them, in exercising any right, power or privilege under any Financing
Document shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial
exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies provided in the
Financing Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or
remedies provided by law.

         Section 11.03. Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The Borrower shall pay on
demand all the actual and reasonable costs, fees and expenses of (i) the Agents
in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and administration of
the Financing Documents and any consents, amendments, waivers or other
modifications thereto, or any Default or alleged Default hereunder; (ii)
furnishing all opinions by counsel for the Borrower and the Guarantors
(including any opinions reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or
Required Lenders as to any legal matters arising hereunder) and of the
Borrower's and the Guarantors' performance of and compliance with all agreements
and conditions on its part to be performed or complied with under this Agreement
and the other Financing Documents, including with respect to confirming
compliance with environmental, insurance and solvency requirements; (iii)
counsel to the Agents (including the reasonable fees and expenses of O'Melveny &
Myers LLP and Davis Polk & Wardwell, special counsel to the Agents) in
connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and administration of
the Financing Documents and any consents, amendments, waivers or other
modifications thereto and any other documents or matters

                                      134

<PAGE>

requested by the Borrower or any Guarantor, provided that it is acknowledged
that the Agents have retained O'Melveny & Myers LLP principally in respect of
Bankruptcy Code matters and that after the Closing Date, in the absence of an
Event of Default, there will be only one principal counsel (as opposed to any
local counsel or similar specialized retention) retained by the Agents, (iv)
creating and perfecting Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent on behalf of
Lenders pursuant to any Collateral Document, including filing and recording
fees, expenses and taxes, stamp or documentary taxes, search fees, title
insurance premiums, and reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel
providing any opinions that any Agent or Required Lenders may reasonably request
in respect of the Collateral Documents or the Liens created pursuant thereto;
(v) Policano & Manzo in connection with the negotiation, preparation and
execution of the Financing Documents and for a period of six months after the
Closing Date in connection with the administration thereof; (vi) the Agents in
connection with the custody or preservation of any of the Collateral; and (vii)
if any Event of Default occurs, any Lender Party, including actual and
reasonable costs, fees and expenses of counsel, in connection with such Event of
Default and collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other enforcement proceedings
resulting therefrom, including the negotiation of any restructuring or "workout"
of the Borrower's obligations under the Financing Documents.

         (b) In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to Section
11.03(a), whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be
consummated, the Borrower agrees to defend (subject to Indemnitee's selection of
counsel), indemnify, pay and hold harmless Agents and Lenders, and the officers,
directors, employees, agents and affiliates of the Agents and Lenders
(collectively called the "Indemnitees"), from and against any and all
Indemnified Liabilities (as hereinafter defined); provided, that the Borrower
shall not have any obligation to any Indemnitee hereunder with respect to any
Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise from
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee as determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction.

         As used herein, "Indemnified Liabilities" means, collectively, any and
all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages (including natural resource
damages), penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims (including environmental
claims), costs (including the costs of any investigation, study, sampling,
testing, abatement, clean-up, removal, remediation or other response action
necessary to remove, remediate, clean up or abate any hazardous materials
activity), expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever
(including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Indemnitees in
connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding
commenced or threatened by any Person, whether or not any such Indemnitee shall
be designated as a party or a potential party thereto, and any fees or expenses
incurred by Indemnitees in enforcing this indemnity), whether direct, indirect
or consequential and whether

                                      135

<PAGE>

based on any federal, state or foreign laws, statues, rules or regulations
(including securities and commercial laws, statutes, rules or regulations and
environmental laws), on common law or equitable cause or on contract or
otherwise, that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any such
Indemnitee, in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) this Agreement or
the other Financing Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby, including any enforcement of any of the Financing Documents (including
any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon any of the Collateral or
the enforcement of the Guaranty Agreements), or (ii) any environmental claim or
any hazardous materials activity relating to or arising from, directly or
indirectly, any past or present activity, operation, land ownership, or practice
of the Borrower and the Guarantors.

         To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold
harmless set forth in this Section 11.03(b) may be unenforceable in whole or in
part because they are violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower shall
contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under
applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities
incurred by Indemnitees or any of them. Without prejudice to the survival of any
other agreement of the Borrower or the Guarantors hereunder, the agreements and
obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors contained in this Section 11.03
(as set forth herein and incorporated by reference in the Guaranty Agreements)
shall survive the payment in full of the principal of and interest on the Notes.

         Section 11.04. Sharing of Set-offs. (a) Each Lender agrees that if it
shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, receive
payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then
due (or overdue) with respect to the Loans and participations in LC
Reimbursement Obligations (if any) held by it which is greater than the
proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the aggregate amount of
principal and interest then due (or overdue) with respect to the Loans and
participations in LC Reimbursement Obligations (if any) held by such other
Lender, the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase
such participations in the Loans and participations in LC Reimbursement
Obligations (if any) held by the other Lenders, and such other adjustments shall
be made, as may be required so that all such payments of principal and interest
with respect to the Loans and participations in LC Reimbursement Obligations
held by the Lenders shall be shared by the Lenders pro rata.

          (b) Nothing in this Section 11.04 shall impair the right of any Lender
to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim it may have and to apply the
amount subject to such exercise to the payment of indebtedness of the Borrower
or the relevant Guarantor other than its indebtedness in respect of the Loans
and LC Reimbursement Obligations.

                                      136
<PAGE>

          (c) The Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do
so under applicable law, that any holder of a participation in a Loan or LC
Reimbursement Obligation, whether or not acquired pursuant to the foregoing
arrangements, may exercise rights of set-off or counterclaim and other rights
with respect to such participation as fully as if such holder of a participation
were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

          Section 11.05. Amendments and Waivers. (a) Neither this Agreement nor
any other Financing Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof, may be amended,
supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this
Section.

          (b) Except as set forth in the succeeding subsections of this Section,
the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with their written consent)
may from time to time (i) enter into written amendments, supplements or
modifications of any Financing Document (which shall not be effective unless
signed by the Borrower if a party thereto and each Guarantor party thereto) for
the purpose of adding any provisions to such Financing Document or changing in
any manner the rights of the parties hereunder or thereunder or (ii) waive, on
such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent
with their written consent) may specify in such instrument, any of the
requirements of any Financing Document (including any waiver of any of the
conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.01 (except that the acceptance of a
Note by any Lender on the Closing Date shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of
such conditions precedent by such Lender) or Section 3.02) or any Default or
Event of Default and its consequences (any such amendment, supplement,
modification or waiver, a "Specified Change"); provided that

                           (1)  without the written consent of the relevant LC
                      Issuing Bank, no Specified Change shall amend, supplement
                      or otherwise modify any Letter of Credit or any provision
                      of this Agreement governing the rights or obligations of
                      such LC Issuing Bank;

                           (2)  without the written consent of the Swingline
                      Bank, no Specified Change shall amend, modify or waive any
                      provision of Section 2.08 or any other provision of this
                      Agreement governing the rights or obligations of the
                      Swingline Bank;

                           (3)  without the written consent of the then Agents,
                      no Specified Change shall amend, modify or waive any
                      provision of Article 9 or any other provision of this

                                      137
<PAGE>

                           Agreement or any other Financing Documents governing
                           the rights or obligations of the Agents; and

                                    (4) without the written consent of all the
                           Lenders, no Specified Change shall reduce the
                           percentage specified in the definition of "Required
                           Lenders" or "Supermajority Lenders".

          (c) Without the written consent of all Lenders, no Specified Change
shall take any action which has the effect of releasing all or substantially all
of the Collateral, releasing Vencor from its obligations under the Vencor
Guaranty Agreement or releasing all or substantially all of the Restricted
Subsidiaries from their obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement,
except in each case as expressly provided in this Agreement or any Collateral
Document.

          (d) Without the written consent of all the Lenders, no Specified
Change shall (i) consent to the assignment or transfer by Vencor or the Borrower
of any of its rights and obligations under the Financing Documents, (ii)
increase the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Exposures or include, as
indebtedness under this Agreement, any indebtedness of the Borrower or the
Guarantors other than the Borrower's indebtedness under the Facility or the
Designated Interest Rate Agreements, (iii) change the priority status of the
Obligations or (iv) modify or alter in any way the terms of the subordination
provisions as set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement (as in effect on the date
hereof) or impair in any way the rights and benefits of the Collateral Agent and
the Lenders under and pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement (as in effect on
the date hereof).

          (e) Without the written consent of each Lender directly affected
thereby, no Specified Change shall reduce the amount or extend the scheduled
date of maturity of any Loan, or reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee
payable hereunder or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, or
increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Commitment or amend,
modify or waive any provision of this subsection.

          (f) Without the written consent of Supermajority Lenders, no Specified
Change shall amend, supplement or otherwise modify any provision of Section
2.19(a) or 2.19(b).

          (g) Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification
shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the
Lenders, the Agents, all future holders of the Loans, the Borrower and the
Guarantors.

                                      138

         Section 11.06. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns, except that neither the Borrower
nor Vencor may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this
Agreement without the prior written consent of all the Lenders, the LC Issuing
Banks and the Swingline Bank. Any attempted assignment or transfer in
contravention of the foregoing shall be null and void.

         (b) Any Lender may at any time grant to one or more banks or other
institutions (each a "Participant") participating interests in any or all of its
Loans and/or its Revolving Credit Commitment or its LC Exposure. If any Lender
grants a participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to
the Borrower and the Agents, such Lender shall remain responsible for the
performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Borrower and the Agents shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender's rights and obligations under the Financing Documents. Any agreement
pursuant to which any Lender may grant such a participating interest shall
provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to
enforce the obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors or any other party
under the Financing Documents, including the right to approve any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of the Financing Documents; provided
that such participation agreement may provide that (i) such Lender will not
agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement described in
Section 11.05(e) without the consent of the Participant and (ii) such Lender
will agree to vote the Participant's participating interest with respect to any
matter requiring a vote of all Lenders under the Security Agreement as the
Participant may direct. The Borrower and Vencor each agrees that each
Participant shall, to the extent provided in its participation agreement, be
entitled to the benefits of Section 2.07(k) and Article 10 with respect to its
participating interest. An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted
by Section 11.06(c) or (d) shall be given effect for purposes of this Agreement
only to the extent of a participating interest granted in accordance with this
subsection (b).

         (c) Any Lender may at any time on or after the Closing Date assign to
one or more (x) Eligible Assignees or (y) affiliates or Related Funds of such
transferor Lender (each such Eligible Assignee, affiliate or Related Fund being
an "Assignee") all, or a ratable portion of all, of its rights and obligations
under the Facility, and such Assignee shall assume such rights and obligations,
with notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent; provided that:

                   (i) any assignment of only a ratable portion of the
         transferor Lender's rights and obligations shall be equivalent, in the
         case of each Assignee, to an initial Commitment of not less than
         $5,000,000;

                                      139
<PAGE>

                  (ii)  such assignment may be made to an Assignee that is
         already a Lender, or made by a Lender to one of its Related Funds,
         without regard to the foregoing minimum assignment amount;

                  (iii) except in the case of an assignment made pursuant to
         clause (ii), the Administrative Agent, each LC Issuing Bank and the
         Swingline Bank shall give its prior written consent to such assignment
         (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld);

                  (iv)  the parties to each such assignment shall execute and
         deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement for its
         acceptance and recording in the Register at least two Business Days
         prior to the proposed effective date of such assignment; and

                  (v)   the Assignee under each such assignment (unless it is
         already a Lender) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a completed
         Administrative Questionnaire.

When (A) such an Assignment Agreement (together with an Administrative
Questionnaire, if required) has been delivered to the Administrative Agent, (B)
such assignment has been recorded in the Register, and (C) such Assignee has
paid to such transferor Lender an amount equal to the purchase price agreed
between them, such Assignee shall be a Lender party to this Agreement and shall
have all the rights and obligations of a Lender with outstanding Loans and/or a
Commitment (as the case may be) as set forth in such instrument of assignment,
and the transferor Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a
corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be
required. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this subsection
(c), (x) the Administrative Agent shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof and
(y) the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make
appropriate arrangements so that, if required, a new Note complying with the
provisions of Section 2.04 is issued to the Assignee. In connection with any
such assignment, the transferor Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent an
administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of $3,500. If
the Assignee is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United
States, it shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
certification as to exemption from deduction or withholding of United States
federal income taxes in accordance with Section 10.04. Anything contained herein
to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent shall not be required
to accept and record assignments hereunder on more than one day during each
week, and each assigning Lender shall coordinate each assignment with the
Administrative Agent so that the proposed effective date of such assignment
shall be the same date as the effective date of each other assignment during the
relevant week by each other assigning Lender.

Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, as Lender, notifies the Borrower that
it proposes to assign to Highland Capital Management, L.P. that portion of its
rights and obligations under the Facility as set forth in an Assignment
Agreement to be entered into on or promptly after the Closing Date. The Borrower
acknowledges such assignment.

          (d) Any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its Loans
or its Note as security to a Federal Reserve Bank. No such assignment or pledge
shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder.

          (e) The Administrative Agent (acting, for this purpose only, as agent
for the Borrower) shall maintain at its address at which notices are to be given
to it pursuant to Section 11.01 a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to
it pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section and a register for the recordation
of the names and addresses of the Lenders, their respective Commitments and the
principal amounts of their respective Loans outstanding from time to time (the
"Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of
manifest error, and the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Agents and the Lenders may
treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender for all
purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by
the Borrower or any Lender Party at any reasonable time and from time to time
upon reasonable prior notice.

          (f) No Assignee, Participant or other transferee of any Lender's
rights shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.07(k),
10.03 or 10.04 than such Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect
to the rights transferred, unless such transfer is made with the Borrower's
prior written consent or by reason of the provisions of Section 10.02, 10.03 or
10.04 requiring such Lender to designate a different Applicable Lending Office
under certain circumstances or at a time when the circumstances giving rise to
such greater payment did not exist.

          SECTION 11.07. Margin Stock. Each of the Lenders represents to the
Agents and each of the other Lenders that it in good faith is not relying upon
any Margin Stock as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit
provided for in this Agreement.

          SECTION 11.08. GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. THIS
AGREEMENT, EACH NOTE AND THE SWINGLINE NOTE AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF
THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE
CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK (INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS

SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURT, THE BORROWER AND VENCOR EACH HEREBY
SUBMITS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR
THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND OF ANY NEW YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN NEW

ANY OF THE FINANCING DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY. THE
BORROWER AND VENCOR EACH IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF THE VENUE
OF ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH
PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

         SECTION 11.09. Counterparts; Integration. This Agreement and any
amendment to this Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of
which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto
were upon the same instrument. This Agreement (together with the other Financing
Documents) constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the parties
hereto and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or
written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

         SECTION 11.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE FINANCING DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED THEREBY. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE,
AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE,
THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE
FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE
BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER FINANCING DOCUMENTS, AS
APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN
THIS SECTION 11.10.

         SECTION 11.11. Confidentiality. Each Lender Party agrees to keep any
non-public information delivered or made available by Ventas, the Borrower or
any Guarantor to it confidential and to use such information only for the

provided that

                                      142
<PAGE>

nothing herein shall prevent any Lender Party from disclosing such information
(i) to Persons employed or retained by such Lender Party who are engaged or
expected to be engaged in evaluating, approving, structuring or administering
the Notes, (ii) to any other Person if reasonably incidental to the
administration of the Notes, (iii) to any other Lender Party, (iv) pursuant to
any subpoena or express direction of any court or other authorized government
agency or as otherwise required by law, (v) upon the request or demand of any
authorized bank regulatory agency, bank examiner or comparable authority, (vi)
which has theretofore been publicly disclosed or is otherwise available to such
Lender Party on a non-confidential basis from a source that is not, to its
knowledge, subject to a confidentiality agreement with Ventas, the Borrower or
any Guarantor, (vii) in connection with any litigation to which any Lender Party
or its subsidiaries or Parent may be a party, (viii) to the extent necessary in
connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder, (ix) to such Lender
Party's affiliates, legal counsel and independent auditors; (x) to any actual or
proposed Participant or Assignee that has signed a written agreement containing
provisions substantially similar to this Section 11.11 or (xi) any other Person
approved by the Borrower in writing. Any Lender Party that discloses
confidential information to other Persons as contemplated by clause (i), (ii) or
(ix) of the foregoing proviso shall inform such other Persons of the
confidential nature of such information and shall instruct them to keep such
information confidential (except for disclosures permitted by the foregoing
proviso). Before any Lender Party discloses confidential information pursuant to
clause (iv) or (vii) of the foregoing proviso, such Lender Party shall, to the
extent permitted by law, use its best efforts to advise the Borrower, Vencor or
Ventas of such proposed disclosure so that the Borrower, Vencor or Ventas may,
in its discretion, seek an appropriate protective order. If and to the extent
requested to do so by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent may deliver copies
of information supplied to it pursuant to Section 5.01 to any Person referred to
in clause (x) or (xi) of the foregoing proviso. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, no Lender Party shall have any liability with respect to
disclosure of confidential information by electronic transmission, including,
without limitation, facsimile, e-mail and internet communication, as long as
such Lender Party exercises reasonable care in effecting such transmission.

                                   LITIGATION
                                   ----------

               (Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined
                  shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in
           Vencor's annual filing on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2000)

     On September 13, 1999, the Company and substantially all of its
subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for protection under Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code. The Chapter 11 Cases have been styled In re: Vencor, Inc., et
al., Debtors and Debtors in Possession, Case Nos. 99-3199 (MFW) through 99-3327
(MFW), Chapter 11, Jointly Administered. On December 14, 2000, the Company filed
its Amended Plan with the Bankruptcy Court. On March 1, 2001, the Bankruptcy
Court approved the Company's Amended Plan and an order was entered confirming
the Amended Plan on March 16, 2001.

     On March 18, 1999, the Company served Ventas with a demand for mediation
pursuant to the Spin-off Agreement. The Company was seeking a reduction in rent
and other concessions under its Master Lease Agreements with Ventas. On March
31, 1999, the Company and Ventas entered into a standstill agreement which
provided that both companies would postpone through April 12, 1999 any claims
either may have against the other. On April 12, 1999, the Company and Ventas
entered into a second standstill which provided that neither party would pursue
any claims against the other or any other third party related to the Spin-off as
long as the Company complied with certain rent payment terms. The second
standstill was scheduled to terminate on May 5, 1999. Pursuant to a tolling
agreement, the Company and Ventas also agreed that any statutes of limitations
or other time-related constraints in a bankruptcy or other proceeding that might
be asserted by one party against the other would be extended and tolled from
April 12, 1999 until May 5, 1999 or until the termination of the second
standstill. As a result of the Company's failure to pay rent, Ventas served the
Company with notices of nonpayment under the Master Lease Agreements.
Subsequently, the Company and Ventas entered into further amendments to the
second standstill and the tolling agreement to extend the time during which no
remedies may be pursued by either party and to extend the date by which the
Company may cure its failure to pay rent.

     In connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company and Ventas entered
into the Stipulation that provides for the payment by the Company of a reduced
aggregate monthly rent of approximately $15.1 million. The Stipulation has been
approved by the Bankruptcy Court. The Stipulation also continues to toll any
statutes of limitations or other time constraints in a bankruptcy proceeding for
claims that might be asserted by the Company against Ventas. The Stipulation
automatically renews for one-month periods unless either party provides a 14-day
notice of termination. The Stipulation also may be terminated prior to its
expiration upon a payment default by the Company, the consummation of a plan of
reorganization or the occurrence of certain defaults under the DIP Financing.
The Stipulation also provides that the Company will continue to fulfill its
indemnification obligations arising from the Spin-off. The Stipulation will
terminate upon the effective date of the Amended Plan.
<PAGE>

     The Company believes that the Amended Plan, if consummated, will resolve
all material disputes between the Company and Ventas. The Amended Plan also
provides for comprehensive mutual releases between the Company and Ventas, other
than for obligations that the Company is assuming under the Amended Plan.

     If the Amended Plan does not become effective and the Company and Ventas
are unable to otherwise resolve their disputes or maintain an interim
resolution, the Company may seek to pursue claims against Ventas arising out of
the Spin-off and seek judicial relief barring Ventas from exercising any
remedies based on the Company's failure to pay some or all of the rent to
Ventas. The Company's failure to pay rent or otherwise comply with the
Stipulation, in the absence of judicial relief, would result in an "Event of
Default" under the Master Lease Agreements. Upon an Event of Default under the
Master Lease Agreements, assuming Ventas were to be granted relief from the
automatic stay by the Bankruptcy Court, the remedies available to Ventas
include, without limitation, terminating the Master Lease Agreements,
repossessing and reletting the leased properties and requiring the Company to
(a) remain liable for all obligations under the Master Lease Agreements,
including the difference between the rent under the Master Lease Agreements and
the rent payable as a result of reletting the leased properties or (b) pay the
net present value of the rent due for the balance of the terms of the Master
Lease Agreements. Such remedies, however, would be subject to the supervision of
the Bankruptcy Court.

     The Company's subsidiary, formerly named TheraTx, Incorporated, is
plaintiff in a declaratory judgment action entitled TheraTx, Incorporated v.
James W. Duncan, Jr., et al., No. 1:95-CV-3193, filed in the United States
District Court for the Northern District of Georgia and currently pending in the
United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, No. 99-11451-FF. The
defendants have asserted counterclaims against TheraTx under breach of contract,
securities fraud, negligent misrepresentation and other fraud theories for
allegedly not performing as promised under a merger agreement related to
TheraTx's purchase of a company called PersonaCare, Inc. and for allegedly
failing to inform the defendants/counterclaimants prior to the merger that
TheraTx's possible acquisition of Southern Management Services, Inc. might cause
the suspension of TheraTx's shelf registration under relevant rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). The court granted summary
judgment for the defendants/counterclaimants and ruled that TheraTx breached the
shelf registration provision in the merger agreement, but dismissed the
defendants' remaining counterclaims. Additionally, the court ruled after trial
that defendants/counterclaimants were entitled to damages and prejudgment
interest in the amount of approximately $1.3 million and attorneys' fees and
other litigation expenses of approximately $700,000. The Company and the
defendants/counterclaimants both appealed the court's rulings. The Court of
Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit affirmed the trial court's rulings with the
exception of the damages award and certified the question of the proper
calculation of damages under Delaware law to the Delaware Supreme Court. The
Company is defending the action vigorously.

     The Company is pursuing various claims against private insurance companies
who issued Medicare supplement insurance policies to individuals who became
patients of the Company's hospitals. After the patients' Medicare benefits are
exhausted, the insurance companies become liable to pay the insureds' bills
pursuant to the terms of these policies. The Company has filed

                                       2
<PAGE>

numerous collection actions against various of these insurers to collect the
difference between what Medicare would have paid and the hospitals' usual and
customary charges. These disputes arise from differences in interpretation of
the policy provisions and federal and state laws governing such policies.
Various courts have issued various rulings on the different issues, some of
which have been adverse to the Company and most of which have been appealed. The
Company intends to continue to pursue these claims vigorously. If the Company
does not prevail on these issues, future results of operations and liquidity
would be materially adversely affected.

     A class action lawsuit entitled A. Carl Helwig v. Vencor, Inc., et al., was
filed on December 24, 1997 in the United States District Court for the Western
District of Kentucky (Civil Action No. 3-97CV-8354). The class action claims
were brought by an alleged stockholder of the Company's predecessor against the
Company and Ventas and certain current and former executive officers and
directors of the Company and Ventas. The complaint alleges that the Company,
Ventas and certain current and former executive officers of the Company and
Ventas during a specified time frame violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the
Exchange Act, by, among other things, issuing to the investing public a series
of false and misleading statements concerning Ventas' then current operations
and the inherent value of its common stock. The complaint further alleges that
as a result of these purported false and misleading statements concerning
Ventas' revenues and successful acquisitions, the price of the common stock was
artificially inflated. In particular, the complaint alleges that the defendants
issued false and misleading financial statements during the first, second and
third calendar quarters of 1997 which misrepresented and understated the impact
that changes in Medicare reimbursement policies would have on Ventas' core
services and profitability. The complaint further alleges that the defendants
issued a series of materially false statements concerning the purportedly
successful integration of Ventas' acquisitions and prospective earnings per
share for 1997 and 1998 which the defendants knew lacked any reasonable basis
and were not being achieved. The suit seeks damages in an amount to be proven at
trial, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, reasonable attorneys' fees,
expert witness fees and other costs, and any extraordinary equitable and/or
injunctive relief permitted by law or equity to assure that the plaintiff has an
effective remedy. In December 1998, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the
case. The court converted the defendants' motion to dismiss into a motion for
summary judgment and granted summary judgment as to all defendants. The
plaintiff appealed the ruling to the United States Court of Appeals for the
Sixth Circuit. On April 24, 2000, the Sixth Circuit affirmed the district
court's dismissal of the action on the grounds that the plaintiff failed to
state a claim upon which relief could be granted. On July 14, 2000, the Sixth
Circuit granted the plaintiff's petition for a rehearing en banc. The Company is
defending this action vigorously.

     A shareholder derivative suit entitled Thomas G. White on behalf of Vencor,
Inc. and Ventas, Inc. v. W. Bruce Lunsford, et al., Case No. 98CI03669, was
filed in June 1998 in the Jefferson County, Kentucky, Circuit Court. The suit
was brought on behalf of the Company and Ventas against certain current and
former executive officers and directors of the Company and Ventas. The complaint
alleges that the defendants damaged the Company and Ventas by engaging in
violations of the securities laws, engaging in insider trading, fraud and
securities fraud and damaging the reputation of the Company and Ventas. The
plaintiff asserts that such actions were taken deliberately, in bad faith and
constitute breaches of the defendants' duties of loyalty and due care. The
complaint is based on substantially similar assertions to those made in

                                       3
<PAGE>

the class action lawsuit entitled A. Carl Helwig v. Vencor, Inc., et al.,
discussed above. The suit seeks unspecified damages, interest, punitive damages,
reasonable attorneys' fees, expert witness fees and other costs, and any
extraordinary equitable and/or injunctive relief permitted by law or equity to
assure that the Company and Ventas have an effective remedy. The Company
believes that the allegations in the complaint are without merit and intends to
defend this action vigorously.

     A class action lawsuit entitled Jules Brody v. Transitional Hospitals
Corporation, et al., Case No. CV-S-97-00747-PMP, was filed on June 19, 1997 in
the United States District Court for the District of Nevada on behalf of a class
consisting of all persons who sold shares of Transitional common stock during
the period from February 26, 1997 through May 4, 1997, inclusive. The complaint
alleges that Transitional purchased shares of its common stock from members of
the investing public after it had received a written offer to acquire all of the
Transitional common stock and without making the required disclosure that such
an offer had been made. The complaint further alleges that defendants disclosed
that there were "expressions of interest" in acquiring Transitional when, in
fact, at that time, the negotiations had reached an advanced stage with actual
firm offers at substantial premiums to the trading price of Transitional's stock
having been made which were actively being considered by Transitional's Board of
Directors. The complaint asserts claims pursuant to Sections 10(b), 14(e) and
20(a) of the Exchange Act, and common law principles of negligent
misrepresentation and names as defendants Transitional as well as certain former
senior executives and directors of Transitional. The plaintiff seeks class
certification, unspecified damages, attorneys' fees and costs. In June 1998, the
court granted the Company's motion to dismiss with leave to amend the Section
10(b) claim and the state law claims for misrepresentation. The court denied the
Company's motion to dismiss the Section 14(e) and Section 20(a) claims, after
which the Company filed a motion for reconsideration. On March 23, 1999, the
court granted the Company's motion to dismiss all remaining claims and the case
was dismissed. The plaintiff has appealed this ruling to the United States Court
of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. The Company is defending this action
vigorously.

     On April 14, 1999, a lawsuit entitled Lenox Healthcare, Inc., et al. v.
Vencor, Inc., et al., Case No. BC 208750, was filed in the Superior Court of Los
Angeles, California by Lenox Healthcare, Inc. ("Lenox") asserting various causes
of action arising out of the Company's sale and lease of several nursing centers
to Lenox in 1997. Lenox subsequently removed certain of its causes of action and
refiled these claims before the United States District Court for the Western
District of Kentucky in a case entitled Lenox Healthcare, Inc. v. Vencor, Inc.,
et al., Case No. 3:99 CV-348-H. The Company asserted counterclaims, including
RICO claims, against Lenox in the Kentucky action. The Company believes that the
allegations made by Lenox in both complaints are without merit. Lenox and its
subsidiaries filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code on
November 3, 1999. By virtue of both the Company's and Lenox's separate filings
for Chapter 11 protection, the two Lenox actions and the Company's counterclaims
were stayed. Subsequently, the parties entered into a settlement, which was
approved by their respective bankruptcy courts, that requires the dismissal of
the two above actions. Joint motions to dismiss have been filed by the parties
in each court.

     The Company was informed by the DOJ that the Company and Ventas are the
subjects of investigations into various Medicare reimbursement issues, including
hospital cost reporting

issues, Vencare billing practices and various quality of care issues in the
hospitals and nursing centers formerly operated by Ventas and currently operated
by the Company. These investigations include some matters for which the Company
indemnified Ventas in the Spin-off. In cases where neither the Company nor any
of its subsidiaries are defendants but Ventas is the defendant, the Company had
agreed to defend and indemnify Ventas for such claims as part of the Spin-off.
The Stipulation entered into with Ventas provides that the Company will continue
to fulfill its indemnification obligations arising from the Spin-off. The
Company has cooperated fully in the investigations.

     The DOJ has informed the Company that it has intervened in several pending
qui tam actions asserted against the Company and/or Ventas in connection with
these investigations. In addition, the DOJ has filed proofs of claims with
respect to certain alleged claims in the Chapter 11 Cases. The Company, Ventas
and the DOJ have finalized the terms of the Government Settlement which will
resolve all of the DOJ investigations including the pending qui tam actions.
The Government Settlement provides that within 30 days after the Amended Plan
becomes effective, the Government will move to dismiss with prejudice to the
United States and the relators (except for certain claims which will be
dismissed without prejudice to the United States in certain of the cases) the
pending qui tam actions as against any or all of the Company and its
subsidiaries, Ventas and any current or former officers, directors and employees
of either entity. There can be no assurance that each court before which a qui
tam action is pending will dismiss the case on the DOJ's motion.

     The following is a summary of the qui tam actions pending against the
Company and/or Ventas in which the DOJ has intervened. In connection with the
DOJ's intervention, the courts ordered these previously non-public actions to be
unsealed. Certain of the actions described below name other defendants in
addition to the Company and Ventas.

     (a) The Company, Ventas and the Company's subsidiary, American X-Rays, Inc.
("AXR"), are defendants in a civil qui tam action styled United States ex rel.
Doe v. American X-Rays Inc., et al., No. LR-C-95-332, pending in the United
States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas and served on AXR on
July 7, 1997. The DOJ intervened in the suit which was brought under the Federal
Civil False Claims Act and added the Company and Ventas as defendants. The
Company acquired an interest in AXR when Hillhaven was merged into the Company
in September 1995 and purchased the remaining interest in AXR in February 1996.
AXR provided portable X-ray services to nursing centers (including some of those
operated by Ventas or the Company) and other healthcare providers. The civil
suit alleges that AXR submitted false claims to the Medicare and Medicaid
programs. The suit seeks damages in an amount of not less than $1,000,000,
treble damages and civil penalties. The Company has defended this action
vigorously. The court has dismissed the action based upon the possible pending
settlement between the DOJ, the Company and Ventas. In a related criminal
investigation, the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of
Arkansas ("USAO") indicted four former employees of AXR; those individuals were
convicted of various fraud related counts in January 1999. AXR had been informed
previously that it was not a target of the criminal investigation, and AXR was
not indicted. However, the Company received several grand jury subpoenas for
documents and witnesses which it moved to quash. The USAO has withdrawn the
subpoenas which rendered the motion moot.

     (b)  The Company's subsidiary, Medisave Pharmacies, Inc. ("Medisave"),
Ventas and Hillhaven (former parent company to Medisave), are the defendants in
a civil qui tam action styled United States ex rel. Danley v. Medisave
Pharmacies, Inc., et al., No. CV-N-96-00170-HDM, filed in the United States
District Court for the District of Nevada on March 15, 1996. The plaintiff
alleges that Medisave, an institutional pharmacy provider, formerly owned by
Ventas and owned by the Company since the Spin-off: (a) charged the Medicare
program for unit dose drugs when bulk drugs were administered and charged
skilled nursing facilities more for the same drugs for Medicare patients than
for non-Medicare patients; (b) improperly claimed special dispensing fees that
it was not entitled to under Medicaid; and (c) recouped unused drugs from
skilled nursing facilities and returned these drugs to its stock without
crediting Medicare or Medicaid, all in violation of the Federal Civil False
Claims Act. The complaint also alleges that Medisave had a policy of offering
kickbacks, such as free equipment, to skilled nursing centers to secure and
maintain their business. The complaint seeks treble damages, other unspecified
damages, civil penalties, attorneys' fees and other costs. The Company disputes
the allegations in the complaint. The defendants intend to defend this action
vigorously.

     (c)  Ventas and the Company's subsidiary, Vencare, Inc. ("Vencare"), among
others, are defendants in the action styled United States ex rel. Roberts v.
Vencor, Inc., et al., No. 3:97CV-349-J, filed in the United States District
Court for the Western District of Kansas on June 25, 1996 and consolidated with
the action styled United States of America ex rel. Meharg, et al. v. Vencor,
Inc., et al., No. 3:98SC-737-H, filed in the United States District Court for
the Middle District of Florida on June 4, 1998. The complaint alleges that the
defendants knowingly submitted and conspired to submit false claims and
statements to the Medicare program in connection with their purported provision
of respiratory therapy services to skilled nursing center residents. The
defendants allegedly billed Medicare for respiratory therapy services and
supplies when those services were not medically necessary, billed for services
not provided, exaggerated the time required to provide services or exaggerated
the productivity of their therapists. It is further alleged that the defendants
presented false claims and statements to the Medicare program in violation of
the Federal Civil False Claims Act, by, among other things, allegedly causing
skilled nursing centers with which they had respiratory therapy contracts, to
present false claims to Medicare for respiratory therapy services and supplies.
The complaint seeks treble damages, other unspecified damages, civil penalties,
attorneys' fees and other costs. The Company disputes the allegations in the
complaint. The defendants intend to defend this action vigorously.

     (d)  In United States ex rel. Kneepkens v. Gambro Healthcare, Inc., et al.,
No. 97-10400-GAO, filed in the United States District Court for the District of
Massachusetts on October 15, 1998, the Company's subsidiary, Transitional, and
two unrelated entities, Gambro Healthcare, Inc. and Dialysis Holdings, Inc., are
defendants in this suit alleging that they violated the Federal Civil False
Claims Act and the Medicare and Medicaid antikickback, antifraud and abuse
regulations and committed common law fraud, unjust enrichment and payment by
mistake of fact. Specifically, the complaint alleges that a predecessor to
Transitional formed a joint venture with Damon Clinical Laboratories to create
and operate a clinical testing laboratory in Georgia that was then used to
provide lab testing for dialysis patients, and that the joint venture billed at
below cost in return for referral of substantially all non-routine testing in
violation of Medicare

                                       6
<PAGE>

and Medicaid antikickback and antifraud regulations. It is further alleged that
a predecessor to Transitional and Damon Clinical Laboratories used multiple
panel testing of end stage renal disease rather than single panel testing that
allegedly resulted in the generation of additional revenues from Medicare and
that the entities allegedly added non-routine tests to tests otherwise ordered
by physicians that were not requested or medically necessary but resulted in
additional revenue from Medicare in violation of the antikickback and antifraud
regulations. Transitional has moved to dismiss the case. Transitional disputes
the allegations in the complaint and is defending the action vigorously.

     (e)  The Company and/or Ventas are defendants in the action styled United
States ex rel. Huff and Dolan v. Vencor, Inc., et al., No. 97-4358 AHM (Mcx),
filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California
on June 13, 1997. The plaintiff alleges that the defendant violated the Federal
Civil False Claims Act by submitting false claims to the Medicare, Medicaid and
CHAMPUS programs by allegedly: (a) falsifying patient bills and submitting the
bills to the Medicare, Medicaid and CHAMPUS programs, (b) submitting bills for
intensive and critical care not actually administered to patients, (c)
falsifying patient charts in relation to the billing, (d) charging for physical
therapy services allegedly not provided and pharmacy services allegedly provided
by non-pharmacists, and (e) billing for sales calls made by nurses to
prospective patients. The complaint seeks treble damages, other unspecified
damages, civil penalties, attorneys' fees and other costs. Defendants dispute
the allegations in the complaint. The Company, on behalf of itself and Ventas,
intends to defend this action vigorously.

     (f)  Ventas is the defendant in the action styled United States ex rel.
Brzycki v. Vencor, Inc., Civ. No. 97-451-JD, filed in the United States District
Court for the District of New Hampshire on September 8, 1997. Ventas is alleged
to have knowingly violated the Federal Civil False Claims Act by submitting and
conspiring to submit false claims to the Medicare program. The complaint alleges
that Ventas: (a) fabricated diagnosis codes by ordering medically unnecessary
services, such as respiratory therapy; (b) changed referring physicians'
diagnoses in order to qualify for Medicare reimbursement; and (c) billed
Medicare for oxygen use by patients regardless of whether the oxygen was
actually administered to particular patients. The complaint further alleges that
Ventas paid illegal kickbacks to referring healthcare professionals in the form
of medical consulting service agreements as an alleged inducement to refer
patients, in violation of the Federal Civil False Claims Act, the antikickback
and antifraud regulations and the Stark provisions. It is additionally alleged
that Ventas consistently submitted Medicare claims for clinical services that
were not performed or were performed at lower actual costs. The complaint seeks
unspecified damages, civil penalties, attorneys' fees and costs. Ventas disputes
the allegations in the complaint. The Company, on behalf of Ventas, intends to
defend the action vigorously.

     (g)  United States ex rel. Lanford and Cavanaugh v. Vencor, Inc., et al.,
Civ. No. 97-CV-2845, was filed against Ventas in the United States District
Court for the Middle District of Florida, on November 24, 1997. The United
States of America intervened in this civil qui tam lawsuit on May 17, 1999. On
July 23, 1999, the United States filed its amended complaint in the lawsuit and
added the Company as a defendant. The lawsuit alleges that the Company and
Ventas knowingly submitted false claims and false statements to the Medicare and
Medicaid

                                       7
<PAGE>

programs including, but not limited to, claims for reimbursement of costs for
certain ancillary services performed in defendants' nursing centers and for
third-party nursing center operators that the United States alleges are not
properly reimbursable costs through the hospitals' cost reports. The lawsuit
involves the Company's hospitals which were owned by Ventas prior to the Spin-
off. The complaint does not specify the amount of damages sought. The Company
and Ventas dispute the allegations in the amended complaint and intend to defend
this action vigorously.

     (h)  In United States ex rel. Harris and Young v. Vencor, Inc., et al.,
filed in the Eastern District of Missouri on May 25, 1999, the defendants
include the Company, Vencare, and Ventas. The defendants allegedly submitted and
conspired to submit false claims for payment to the Medicare and CHAMPUS
programs, in violation of the Federal Civil False Claims Act.  According to the
complaint, the Company, through its subsidiary, Vencare, allegedly (a) over
billed for respiratory therapy services, (b) rendered medically unnecessary
treatment, and (c) falsified supply, clinical and equipment records. The
defendants also allegedly encouraged or instructed therapists to falsify
clinical records and over prescribe therapy services.  The complaint seeks
treble damages, other unspecified damages, civil penalties, attorneys' fees and
other costs. The Company disputes the allegations in the complaint and intends
to defend this action vigorously.  The action has been dismissed with prejudice
as to the relator and without prejudice as to the United States.

     (i)  In United States ex rel. George Mitchell, et al. v. Vencor, Inc., et
al., filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio
on August 13, 1999, the defendants, consisting of the Company and its two
subsidiaries, Vencare and Vencor Hospice, Inc., are alleged to have violated the
Federal Civil False Claims Act by obtaining improper reimbursement from Medicare
concerning the treatment of hospice patients.  Defendants are alleged to have
obtained inflated Medicare reimbursement for admitting, treating and/or failing
to discharge in a timely manner hospice patients who were not "hospice
appropriate." The complaint further alleges that the defendants obtained
inflated reimbursement for providing medications for these hospice patients. The
complaint alleges damages in excess of $1,000,000. The Company disputes the
allegations in the complaint and intends to defend vigorously the action.

     (j)  In Gary Graham, on Behalf of the United States of America v. Vencor
Operating, Inc. et. al., filed in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of Florida on or about June 8, 1999, the defendants, including
the Company, its subsidiary, Vencor Operating, Inc., Ventas, Hillhaven and
Medisave, are alleged to have presented or caused to be presented false or
fraudulent claims for payment to the Medicare program in violation of, among
other things, the Federal Civil False Claims Act. The complaint alleges that
Medisave, a subsidiary of the Company which was transferred from Ventas to the
Company in the Spin-off, systematically up-charged for drugs and supplies
dispensed to Medicare patients. The complaint seeks unspecified damages, civil
penalties, interest, attorneys' fees and other costs. The Company disputes the
allegations in the complaint and intends to defend this action vigorously.

     (k)  In United States, et al., ex rel. Phillips-Minks, et al. v.
Transitional Corp., et al., filed in the United States District Court for
Southern District of California on July 23, 1998, the

                                       8
<PAGE>

defendants, including Transitional and Ventas, are alleged to have submitted and
conspired to submit false claims and statements to Medicare, Medicaid, and other
federal and state funded programs during a period commencing in 1993. The
conduct complained of allegedly violates the Federal Civil False Claims Act, the
California False Claims Act, the Florida False Claims Act, the Tennessee Health
Care False Claims Act, and the Illinois Whistleblower Reward and Protection Act.
The defendants allegedly submitted improper and erroneous claims to Medicare,
Medicaid and other programs, for improper or unnecessary services and services
not performed, inadequate collections efforts associated with billing and
collecting bad debts, inflated and nonexistent laboratory charges, false and
inadequate documentation of claims, splitting charges, shifting revenues and
expenses, transferring patients to hospitals that are reimbursed by Medicare at
a higher level, failing to return duplicate reimbursement payments, and
improperly allocating hospital insurance expenses. In addition, the complaint
alleges that the defendants were inconsistent in their reporting of cost report
data, paid kickbacks to increase patient referrals to hospitals, and incorrectly
reported employee compensation resulting in inflated employee 401(k)
contributions. The complaint seeks unspecified damages. The Company disputes the
allegations in the complaint and intends to defend this action vigorously.

     In connection with the Spin-off, liabilities arising from various legal
proceedings and other actions were assumed by the Company and the Company agreed
to indemnify Ventas against any losses, including any costs or expenses, it may
incur arising out of or in connection with such legal proceedings and other
actions. The indemnification provided by the Company also covers losses,
including costs and expenses, which may arise from any future claims asserted
against Ventas based on the former healthcare operations of Ventas. In
connection with its indemnification obligation, the Company has assumed the
defense of various legal proceedings and other actions. The Stipulation entered
into with Ventas provides that the Company will continue to fulfill its
indemnification obligations arising from the Spin-off.

     The Company is a party to certain legal actions and regulatory
investigations arising in the normal course of its business. The Company is
unable to predict the ultimate outcome of pending litigation and regulatory
investigations. In addition, there can be no assurance that the DOJ, HCFA or
other regulatory agencies will not initiate additional investigations related to
the Company's businesses in the future, nor can there be any assurance that the
resolution of any litigation or investigations, either individually or in the
aggregate, would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of
operations, liquidity or financial position. In addition, the above litigation
and investigations (as well as future litigation and investigations) are
expected to consume the time and attention of the Company's management and may
have a disruptive effect upon the Company's operations.

     In the opinion of Vencor Operating, Inc., there is no reasonable
possibility of an adverse decision with respect to the actions disclosed on this
Schedule 8 that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect
or which in any manner would question the validity of any Financing Document.

          (a)  As of the Closing Date, such Original Lien Grantor owns the
Equity Interests listed as being owned by it in Schedule 1 to the Credit
Agreement, free and clear of any Lien other than Permitted Liens. All shares of
capital stock identified in such Schedule as being beneficially owned by such
Original Lien Grantor have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully
paid and non-assessable, and are subject to no option to purchase or similar
right of any Person. Such Original Lien Grantor is not and will not become a
party to or become otherwise bound by any agreement, other than the Financing
Documents and the Second Priority Financing Documents, which restricts in any
manner the rights of any present or future holder of any Pledged Equity Interest
with respect thereto.

          (b)  Such Original Lien Grantor has good and marketable title to all
of its Collateral (except Intellectual Property), free and clear of any Liens
other than Permitted Liens. To the best of its knowledge, such Original Lien
Grantor has good title or other rights in and to its Existing Intellectual
Property, free and clear of any Liens other than Permitted Liens. Such Original
Lien Grantor has taken all actions necessary under the UCC to perfect its
interest in any Accounts purchased or otherwise acquired by it, as against its
assignors and creditors of its assignors.

          (c)  Other than granting Permitted Liens, such Original Lien Grantor
has not performed any acts that might prevent the Collateral Agent from
enforcing any of the provisions of the Collateral Documents or that would limit
the Collateral Agent in any such enforcement. No financing statement, security
agreement, mortgage or similar or equivalent document or instrument covering all
or any part of the Collateral owned by it is on file or of record in any
jurisdiction in which such filing or recording would be effective to perfect or
record a Lien on such Collateral, except financing statements, mortgages or
other similar or equivalent documents with respect to (i) Liens under the DIP
Facility and the Pre-Petition Senior Credit Agreement (so long as arrangements
reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent have been made for the
termination of such financing statements, mortgages or other similar or
equivalent documents on or promptly after the Closing Date) and (ii) Permitted
Liens. After the Closing, no Collateral owned by it will be in the possession of
any Person (other than such Original Lien Grantor) asserting any claim thereto
or security interest therein (except Permitted Liens), except that (A) the
Collateral Agent or its designee may have possession of Collateral as
contemplated hereby and (B) cash and Temporary Cash Investments may be held in
the Concentration Accounts.

                                      13
<PAGE>

          (d)  Such Original Lien Grantor has delivered a Perfection Certificate
to the Collateral Agent. The information set forth therein is correct and
complete as of the Closing Date.

          (e)  The Personal Property Security Interests constitute valid
security interests in all Personal Property Collateral owned by such Original
Lien Grantor thereby securing its Secured Obligations, and constitute security
interests therein prior to all other Liens other than Liens permitted under the
Credit Agreement to be senior in priority to the Liens of the Lenders.

          (f)  Upon the delivery of the Pledged Instruments (if any) and the
Pledged Equity Securities owned by such Original Lien Grantor to the Collateral
Agent in accordance with Section 4, the Collateral Agent will have valid and
perfected security interests in such Collateral subject to no prior Lien other
than Permitted Liens.

          (g)  When UCC financing statements shall have been filed in the
offices specified in such Original Lien Grantor's Perfection Certificate, the
Personal Property Security Interests will constitute perfected security
interests in the Personal Property Collateral owned by such Original Lien
Grantor to the extent that a security interest therein may be perfected by
filing pursuant to the UCC, prior (except in the case of Intellectual Property)
to all Liens and rights of others therein except Permitted Liens. When, in
addition to the filing of such UCC financing statements, the applicable
Intellectual Property Filings have been made with respect to such Lien Grantor's
Intellectual Properties (including any future filings required pursuant to
Sections 5(c) and 5(d)), the Personal Property Security Interests will
constitute perfected security interests in all right, title and interest of such
Original Lien Grantor in its Intellectual Property to the extent that security
interests therein may be perfected by such filings and, to the best of such
Original Lien Grantor's knowledge, such security interests will be prior to all
other Liens and rights of others therein except Permitted Liens. Except for (i)
the filing of such UCC financing statements, (ii) such Intellectual Property
Filings, (iii) the due recordation of memoranda of lease with respect to the
Master Lease Agreements and any assignment thereof to the Borrower and (iv) the
due recordation of the Fee Mortgages and the Leasehold Mortgages, no
registration, recordation or filing with any governmental body, agency or
official is required in connection with the execution or delivery of the
Collateral Documents or is necessary for the validity or enforceability thereof
or for the perfection or due recordation of the Security Interests or (except
with respect to the capital stock of any Insurance Subsidiary) for the
enforcement of the Security Interests.

          (h)  Such Original Lien Grantor's Collateral is insured in accordance
with the requirements of the Credit Agreement.

          such Lien Grantor with respect to such Equity Interests, and all
          dividends, distributions and other payments with respect thereto;

                 (x)    all books and records (including, without limitation,
          customer lists, credit files, computer programs, printouts and other
          computer materials and records) of such Lien Grantor pertaining to any
          of its Collateral;

                 (xi)   such Lien Grantor's ownership interest in the Collateral
          Accounts, all cash deposited therein from time to time, all Liquid
          Investments made with amounts on deposit therein and all of such Lien
          Grantor's other monies and property of any kind in the possession or
          under the control of the Collateral Agent; and

                 (xii)  all Proceeds of the collateral described in the
          foregoing clauses (i) through (xi);

                                      15
<PAGE>

interests: (i) motor vehicles, (ii) deposit accounts (other than the Collateral

principal amount and (vi) any Equity Interests, general intangibles or other
rights arising under or subject to any contracts, instruments, licenses or other
documents if (but only to the extent that) the grant of a security interest
therein would constitute a material violation of a valid and enforceable
restriction in favor of a third party, unless and until any required consents
shall have been obtained. Each Lien Grantor shall use all reasonable efforts to
obtain any such required consent that is reasonably obtainable; provided that no
Lien Grantor shall be obligated to obtain any such consent with respect to any
Retained Collection Rights or Third Party Lease.

          (b)  The Security Interests are granted as security only and shall not
subject the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to, or transfer or in
any way affect or modify, any obligation or liability of any Lien Grantor with
respect to any of the Collateral or any transaction in connection therewith.

          (c)  If the superintendent of insurance or other similar official
having jurisdiction over any Insurance Subsidiary determines that any pledge of
the shares of capital stock of such Insurance Subsidiary hereunder constitutes
the acquisition of or a change of control with respect to such Insurance
Subsidiary as to which the prior approval of such superintendent or similar
official was required, then, immediately upon the relevant Lien Grantor's (1)
written memorialization of oral notice or (2) receipt of written notice from
such official of such determination and without any action on the part of the
Collateral Agent or any other Person, such pledge shall be rendered void ab
initio and of no effect. Upon any such occurrence, (i) the Collateral Agent
shall, at such Lien Grantor's written request and expense, return the
certificates representing such capital stock to such Lien Grantor and execute
and deliver such documents as such Lien Grantor shall reasonably request to
evidence such Lien Grantor's retention of all rights in such capital stock and
(ii) such Lien Grantor shall promptly submit a request to the superintendent of
insurance or other appropriate official for approval of the pledge of such
shares to the Collateral Agent hereunder and, upon receipt of such approval,
shall forthwith pledge and deposit with the Collateral Agent certificates
representing all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of such Insurance
Subsidiary to be held as Pledged Equity Securities subject to all relevant
provisions of this Agreement.

          (d)  The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any other Lien
Grantor to, create, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on the Provisional
Application or any interest relating thereto, other than any Lien in favor of
the Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Collateral Agent.

         Section 4. Delivery of Certain Collateral. (a) On the Closing Date,
each Original Lien Grantor is delivering to the Collateral Agent as Collateral
hereunder all stock certificates or other certificates representing Equity
Interests in other Persons then owned by it, provided that such delivery will be
deemed to be made to the extent any such certificate is already held by Morgan
in its capacity as collateral agent under the Pre-Petition Senior Credit
Agreement and DIP Facility.

          (b)  On the date it signs and delivers its Security Agreement

          (c)  After the Closing Date (in the case of an Original Lien Grantor)

Grantor), if any Lien Grantor receives (i) any stock certificate or other
certificate representing Equity Interests in another Person then owned by it or
(ii) any Instrument, in each case in which a security interest is granted
pursuant to Section 3 hereof or pursuant to the Security Agreement Supplement
signed by it, such Lien Grantor will immediately deliver such certificate or
Instrument to the Collateral Agent to be held by it as Collateral hereunder.

          (d)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lien Grantor may retain for
collection in the ordinary course any Instruments received by it in the ordinary
course of business, and the Collateral Agent shall, promptly upon request by
such Lien Grantor, make appropriate arrangements for making any other Instrument
pledged by such Lien Grantor hereunder available to it for purposes of
presentation, collection or renewal (any such arrangement to be effected, to the
extent deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent, against trust receipt or like
document).

          (e)  All Pledged Equity Securities delivered to the Collateral Agent

either (i) delivered an updated Perfection Certificate to the Collateral Agent
or (ii) certified to the Collateral Agent that the Perfection Certificate most
recently delivered pursuant to this Agreement is correct and complete as of the
date of such notice; provided that the Borrower may change its name to "Kindred

or chief place of business or (ii) the locations where it keeps or holds any
Collateral or any records relating thereto from the applicable locations
described in its Perfection Certificate (after the delivery of such Perfection
Certificate), unless such Lien Grantor shall have given the Collateral Agent
prior notice thereof. It will not in any event change the location of any
Collateral owned by it if such change would cause the Security Interests in such
Collateral to lapse or, if perfected prior to such change of location, cease to
be perfected.

          (c)  (i) It will, from time to time, at its expense, execute, deliver,
file and record any statement, assignment, instrument, document, agreement or
other paper and take any other action (including, without limitation, any
Intellectual Property Filings and any filings of financing or continuation
statements under the UCC) that from time to time may be necessary or desirable,
or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to create,
preserve, perfect, confirm or validate the Security Interests in such Lien
Grantor's Collateral or to enable the Collateral Agent and the other Secured
Parties to obtain the full benefits of the Collateral Documents, or to enable
the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce any of its rights, powers and
remedies thereunder with respect to any of such Lien Grantor's Collateral. To
the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lien Grantor authorizes the
Collateral Agent to execute and file such financing statements or continuation
statements without such Lien Grantor's signature appearing thereon. Such Lien
Grantor agrees that a carbon, photographic, photostatic or other reproduction of
this Agreement or of a financing statement is sufficient as a financing
statement. Such Lien Grantor shall pay the costs of, or incidental to, any
recording or filing of any such financing or continuation statements in which it
is named as the debtor. Such Lien Grantor hereby constitutes the Collateral
Agent its attorney-in-fact to execute and file all Intellectual Property Filings
required or so requested for the foregoing purposes, all acts of such attorney
being hereby ratified and confirmed; and such power, being coupled with an
interest,

                                      18
<PAGE>

shall be irrevocable until such Lien Grantor's Collateral is released pursuant
to Section 18.

               (ii) Without limiting clause (i), it will enter into any
         amendments to this Agreement and to any other Financing Document and
         take any other action, at its expense, that the Collateral Agent may
         reasonably request or as may be necessary or desirable in connection
         with the proposed revisions to Article 9 of the UCC, in order to
         create, preserve, perfect, confirm or validate the Security Interests
         in such Lien Grantor's Collateral or to enable the Collateral Agent and
         the other Secured Parties to obtain the full benefits of the Collateral
         Documents, or to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce
         any of its rights, powers and remedies thereunder with respect to any
         of such Lien Grantor's Collateral.

          (d)  Within 30 days after each March 31 and September 30 (commencing
with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date), it will (i) sign and
deliver to the Collateral Agent any Intellectual Property Security Agreement
necessary to grant Security Interests in any Intellectual Properties owned by it
on such March 31 or September 30 that are not covered by the Security Interests
granted in any previous Intellectual Property Security Agreements so signed and
delivered by it and (ii) make all Intellectual Property Filings reasonably
necessary to record the Security Interests in such Intellectual Properties.

          (e)  At least 30 days before it takes any action contemplated by
Section 5(a) or 5(b), such Lien Grantor will, at its expense, cause to be
delivered to the Collateral Agent an officer's certificate, in form and
substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, to the effect that all financing
statements and amendments or supplements thereto, continuation statements and
other documents required to be recorded or filed in order to perfect and protect
the Security Interests against all creditors of and purchasers from such Lien
Grantor (except any continuation statements specified in such officer's
certificate that are to be filed more than six months after the date thereof)
have been filed in each filing office necessary for such purpose and that all
filing fees and taxes, if any, payable in connection with such filings have been
paid in full; provided that if the only action contemplated is a change in the
name of a Lien Grantor to the name set forth below the name of such Lien Grantor
on the Perfection Certificate delivered in connection with the Closing, then
such Lien Grantor will at its expense (i) cause to be delivered to the
Collateral Agent an officer's certificate, in form and substance satisfactory to
the Collateral Agent, specifying the date on which such name change is to take
effect (the "Effective Date") (such certificate to be delivered to the
Collateral Agent at least three days prior to the Effective Date) and (ii)
deliver to the Collateral Agent no later than June 20, 2001, all financing
statements and amendments or supplements thereto, continuation statements and
other documents required to be recorded or filed in order to perfect and protect
the Security Interests against all

                                      19
<PAGE>

creditors of and purchasers from such Lien Grantor and evidence satisfactory to
the Collateral Agent that such financing statements and amendments or
supplements thereto, continuation statements and other documents will be filed
in each filing office necessary for such purpose by June 30, 2001 and that all
filing fees and taxes, if any, payable in connection with such filings will be
paid in full by such date.

          (f)  If any of its Collateral is at any time in the possession or
control of any warehouseman, bailee or agent, such Lien Grantor will notify such
warehouseman, bailee or agent of the Security Interests and instruct it to hold
all such Collateral for the Collateral Agent's account subject to the Collateral
Agent's instructions.

          (g)  It shall keep full and accurate books and records relating to its
Collateral, and stamp or otherwise mark such books and records in such manner as
the Collateral Agent may reasonably request in order to reflect the Security
Interests.

          (h)  It shall use its best efforts to cause to be collected from its
account debtors, as and when due, any and all amounts owing under or on account
of each of its Accounts (including, without limitation, Accounts which are
delinquent, such Accounts to be collected in accordance with lawful collection
procedures) and shall apply forthwith upon receipt thereof all such amounts as
are so collected to the outstanding balance of such Accounts. Subject to the
rights of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder if an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such Lien Grantor may
allow in the ordinary course of business as adjustments to amounts owing under
its Accounts (i) an extension or renewal of the time or times of payment, or
settlement for less than the total unpaid balance, which such Lien Grantor finds
appropriate in accordance with sound business judgment and (ii) refunds or
credits, all in accordance with such Lien Grantor's ordinary course of business
consistent with its historical collection practices. The costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, attorney's fees) of collection, whether incurred
by such Lien Grantor or the Collateral Agent, shall be borne by such Lien
Grantor.

          (i)  If an Enforcement Notice is in effect, such Lien Grantor will,
consistent with the terms of the Credit Agreement, if requested to do so by the
Collateral Agent, promptly notify (and such Lien Grantor hereby authorizes the
Collateral Agent so to notify) each account debtor in respect of any of its
Accounts or Instruments that such Collateral has been assigned to the Collateral
Agent hereunder, and that any payments due or to become due in respect of such
Collateral are to be made directly to the Collateral Agent or its designee.

                                      20

          (j)  Such Lien Grantor will not sell, lease, exchange, assign or
otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of its
Collateral; provided that, unless an Enforcement Notice is in effect, (i) such
Lien Grantor may sell, lease or exchange its Inventory and obsolete, unused or
unnecessary Equipment, in each case in the ordinary course of business and (ii)
such Lien Grantor may sell any of its Collateral if (x) the sale thereof does
not violate any covenant in the Credit Agreement and (y) in the case of an Asset
Sale (other than the Kingfish Transaction), the Net Cash Proceeds thereof are
applied as provided in Section 2.11(a) of the Credit Agreement. Concurrently
with any sale or exchange (other than a sale or exchange to another Lien
Grantor) permitted by the foregoing proviso, the Security Interests in the
assets sold or exchanged (but not in any Proceeds arising from such sale or
exchange) shall cease immediately without any further action on the part of the
Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party.

          (k)  Such Lien Grantor will, promptly upon request, provide to the
Collateral Agent all information and evidence it may reasonably request
concerning its Collateral to enable the Collateral Agent to enforce the
provisions of the Collateral Documents.

          (l)  From time to time upon request by the Collateral Agent, such Lien
Grantor shall, at its expense, cause to be delivered to the Secured Parties an
Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Collateral Agent as to such matters
relating to the transactions contemplated hereby as the Required Lenders may
reasonably request.

          (m)  Such Lien Grantor shall notify the Collateral Agent promptly if
it knows that any application or registration relating to any material
Intellectual Property owned or licensed by it may become abandoned or dedicated,
or of any adverse determination or development (including, without limitation,
the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding
in the United States Copyright Office, the United States Patent and Trademark
Office or any court) regarding such Lien Grantor's ownership of such material
Intellectual Property, its right to register or patent the same, or its right to
keep and maintain the same. If any of such Lien Grantor's rights to any material
Intellectual Property are infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third
party, such Lien Grantor shall notify the Collateral Agent within 30 days after
it learns thereof and shall, unless such Lien Grantor shall reasonably determine
that any such action would be of negligible value, economic or otherwise,
promptly sue for infringement, misappropriation or dilution and to recover any
and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution, and take
such other actions as such Lien Grantor shall reasonably deem appropriate under
the circumstances to protect such Intellectual Property.

         Section 6. Concentration Accounts. (a) The Borrower shall establish (or
transfer into the name of the Collateral Agent) one or more accounts
(collectively, the "Concentration Accounts") which shall be maintained in the
name of and under the exclusive control of the Collateral Agent and into which
collected cash owned by the Borrower and the other Lien Grantors shall be
deposited from time to time. Each Concentration Account shall be maintained with
a bank (a "Concentration Account Bank") that (i) is reasonably acceptable to the
Collateral Agent and (ii) if not a Lender, enters into an Account Control
Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall instruct each Concentration Account Bank
to transfer, from time to time, amounts on deposit in each Concentration Account
maintained with it to such other account or accounts as the Borrower may
request, unless and until the Collateral Agent rescinds such instructions. The
Collateral Agent shall not rescind such instructions unless requested to do so
by the Required Lenders at a time when an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing.

          (b)  Amounts on deposit in the Concentration Accounts may be invested
and re-invested from time to time in such Temporary Cash Investments as Vencor
or the Borrower shall determine from time to time; provided that, in order to
provide the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, with a
perfected security interest therein, (x) the books and records of the relevant
Concentration Account Bank shall reflect the fact that such Temporary Cash
Investments are held for the account of the Collateral Agent and (y) each such
Temporary Cash Investment either:

                    (i)  is issued in the name of the relevant Concentration
          Account Bank or evidenced by a negotiable certificate or instrument
          which (together with any appropriate instrument of transfer) is
          delivered to, and held by, such Concentration Account Bank or an agent
          thereof (which shall not be any Lien Grantor or any of its Affiliates)
          in a State where possession thereof perfects the Security Interest
          therein; or

                    (ii) if not so issued or evidenced, is subject to pledge
          under applicable law and regulations and as to which (in the opinion
          of counsel to the Collateral Agent) appropriate measures shall have
          been taken to perfect the relevant Security Interest.

All right, title and interest in and to the cash amounts on deposit from time to
time in the Concentration Accounts together with any Temporary Cash Investments
from time to time made pursuant to this subsection (b) shall vest in the
Collateral Agent, shall constitute part of the relevant Lien Grantor's
Collateral hereunder and shall not constitute payment of the Secured Obligations
unless and until applied thereto as provided in Section 15. If an Enforcement
Notice is in effect, the Collateral Agent may (or if instructed to do so
pursuant to the Enforcement

                                      22
<PAGE>

Notice shall) (i) instruct any Concentration Account Bank to retain, in any
Concentration Account maintained by it, all cash and Temporary Cash Investments
then held by it in such Concentration Account, (ii) instruct such Concentration
Account Bank to liquidate any or all Temporary Cash Investments held by it in
such Concentration Account and/or (iii) withdraw any amounts held in any
Concentration Account and apply such amounts in the manner specified in Section
15.

         Section 7. Collateral Accounts. (a) Promptly after the Collateral Agent
determines that any Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale (other than in
connection with the Kingfish Transaction) of the Borrower or a Restricted
Subsidiary or that any Casualty Proceeds with respect to property of the
Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary are to be deposited pursuant to Section
2.11(a) of the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall establish an account
(such Lien Grantor's "Reduction Event Account") with the Administrative Agent,
in the name and under the exclusive control of the Collateral Agent, into which
all Net Cash Proceeds with respect to Asset Sales (other than in connection with
the Kingfish Transaction) of such Lien Grantor and all Casualty Proceeds with
respect to property of such Lien Grantor shall be deposited from time to time.

          (b)  So long as no Enforcement Notice is in effect, Net Cash Proceeds
or Casualty Proceeds, as the case may be, to be released from a Reduction Event
Account pursuant to either clause (A) or (C) of Section 2.11(a) of the Credit
Agreement shall be released by the Collateral Agent to the relevant Lien Grantor
at such times and in such amounts as such Lien Grantor shall request in
accordance with the provisions of clause (A) or (C), as the case may be, of
Section 2.11(a) of the Credit Agreement. Any such request shall be accompanied
by a certificate of a Financial Officer describing in reasonable detail the
purpose for which such funds have been or will be expended and the date (which
shall not be later than 30 days after the date of such certificate) by which
such Lien Grantor is obligated or otherwise committed to make such payment,
provided that no such certificate shall be required if the aggregate Casualty
Proceeds requested for the restoration, repair, replacement or rebuilding of the
relevant assets is less than $100,000 with respect to any Casualty Event. If
immediately available cash on deposit in any Lien Grantor's Reduction Event
Account is not sufficient to make any such distribution to it, the Collateral
Agent shall cause to be liquidated, as promptly as practicable, such Liquid
Investments in such Reduction Event Account as shall be required to obtain
sufficient cash to make such distribution and, notwithstanding any other
provision of this Section 7, such distribution shall not be made until such
liquidation has taken place.

          (c)  So long as no Enforcement Notice is in effect, the Collateral
Agent shall distribute to (i) the Administrative Agent, at its request from time
to time, the amounts on deposit in the Reduction Event Account which are
required to be

                                      23
<PAGE>

applied to prepay Loans, (ii) the Borrower, at its request, an amount on deposit
in the Reduction Event Account equal to the amount by which the Borrower,
concurrently with such distribution, permanently reduces Commitments, (iii) the
Senior Secured Collateral Agent, the amounts on deposit in the Reduction Event
Account which are required to be applied to prepay loans under the Senior
Secured Credit Agreement and (iv) the Borrower, at its request, the amounts
remaining in deposit in the Reduction Event Account, in each case, in accordance
with clause (B) of Section 2.11(a) of the Credit Agreement.

          (d)  Promptly after the Collateral Agent determines that any cash
proceeds of any Lien Grantor's Collateral are to be realized upon any exercise
of remedies pursuant to the Collateral Documents, the Collateral Agent shall
establish an account with respect to such Lien Grantor (such Lien Grantor's
"Collateral Proceeds Account") with the Administrative Agent, in the name and
under the exclusive control of the Collateral Agent, into which all such cash
proceeds of such Lien Grantor's Collateral shall be deposited from time to time
(unless required to be deposited in another Collateral Account). This subsection
(d) shall not apply to any cash proceeds that are deposited in a Concentration
Account and are not required to be deposited in any Collateral Account.

          (e)  Promptly after the Collateral Agent determines that any cash
collateral is to be deposited pursuant to Section 2.11(e) of the Credit
Agreement or to secure LC Reimbursement Obligations pursuant to Section 8.04 of
the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall establish a cash collateral
account (the "LC Collateral Account") with the Administrative Agent, in the name
and under the exclusive control of the Collateral Agent, into which all cash
collateral deposited pursuant to said Section 2.11(e) or Section 8.04 shall be
deposited. If and when any LC Issuing Bank pays a draft drawn under any
outstanding Letter of Credit on which any deposit in the LC Collateral Account
was based, the amount so paid by it (but not more than the amount in the LC
Collateral Account at the time) shall, promptly after such LC Issuing Bank
notifies the Collateral Agent of such payment, be withdrawn by the Collateral
Agent from the LC Collateral Account and paid to the relevant Issuing Bank or
the Lenders, as appropriate. If at any time the amount in the LC Collateral
Account exceeds the aggregate amount then required to pay all unreimbursed
drawings under, and to cover all possible subsequent drawings under, all
outstanding Letters of Credit on which any deposits in the LC Collateral Account
were based, the excess amount shall, so long as no Enforcement Notice is in
effect, be withdrawn by the Collateral Agent and paid to the Borrower. If
immediately available cash on deposit in the LC Collateral Account is not
sufficient to make any distribution referred to in this subsection (e), the
Collateral Agent shall cause to be liquidated, as promptly as practicable, such
Liquid Investments in the LC Collateral Account as shall be required to obtain
sufficient cash to make such distribution and, notwithstanding

                                      24
<PAGE>

any other provision of this Section 7, such distribution shall not be made until
such liquidation has taken place.

          (f) Amounts on deposit in any Collateral Account shall be invested and
re-invested from time to time in such Liquid Investments as the relevant Lien
Grantor shall determine. Any income received with respect to the balance from
time to time standing to the credit of any Collateral Account, including any
interest or capital gains on Liquid Investments, shall remain, or be deposited,
in such Collateral Account. All right, title and interest in and to the cash
amounts on deposit from time to time in any Collateral Account together with any
Liquid Investments from time to time made pursuant to this subsection (f) shall
vest in the Collateral Agent, shall constitute part of the relevant Lien
Grantor's Collateral hereunder and shall not constitute payment of its Secured
Obligations until applied thereto as provided in Section 15. If an Enforcement
Notice is in effect, any amounts held in any Collateral Account shall be
retained in such Collateral Account and, if and when requested by the
Administrative Agent, shall be withdrawn by the Collateral Agent and applied in
the manner specified in Section 15.

          (g) For purposes hereof, "Liquid Investments" means any Temporary Cash
Investment that (i) matures within 30 days after it is acquired by or for the
account of the Collateral Agent and (ii) in order to provide the Collateral
Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, with a perfected security
interest therein, either:

                   (i) is issued in the name of the Collateral Agent or a
          financial intermediary acting for its account or is evidenced by a
          negotiable certificate or instrument which (together with any
          appropriate instrument of transfer) is delivered to, and held by, the
          Collateral Agent or an agent thereof (which shall not be any Lien
          Grantor or any of its Affiliates) in a State where possession thereof
          perfects the Security Interest therein; or

                  (ii) if not so issued or evidenced, is a Temporary Cash
          Investment which is subject to pledge under applicable law and
          regulations and as to which (in the opinion of counsel to the
          Collateral Agent) appropriate measures shall have been taken to
          perfect the relevant Security Interest.

          (h) The Collateral Agent shall, on a monthly basis, provide the
Borrower with or arrange for the Borrower to be provided with a statement of the
balance standing to the credit of the Reduction Event Account, which statement
shall indicate each payment into and from the Reduction Event Account during the
preceding calendar month.

                                      25

         Section 8. Record Ownership of Pledged Equity Securities. If directed
to do so by the Required Lenders at any time when an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall cause the Pledged Equity
Securities (or any portion thereof specified in such directions) to be
transferred of record into the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee;
provided that no such transfer shall be made with respect to any capital stock
of any Insurance Subsidiary unless any required regulatory approvals under
applicable state law shall have been obtained. Promptly upon receiving any such
directions, the Collateral Agent will notify each relevant Lien Grantor thereof.
Each Lien Grantor will promptly give to the Collateral Agent copies of any
notices and other communications received by it with respect to Pledged Equity
Securities registered in its name, and the Collateral Agent will promptly give
to such Lien Grantor copies of any notices and other communications received by
the Collateral Agent with respect to such Lien Grantor's Pledged Equity
Securities registered in the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee. So
long as no Enforcement Notice is in effect, the Collateral Agent shall pay over
to each relevant Lien Grantor all Cash Distributions received by the Collateral
Agent upon or with respect to any Pledged Equity Securities held of record in
the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee.

         Section 9. Right to Vote Pledged Equity Securities. (a) Unless an
Enforcement Notice directing the Collateral Agent to vote the Pledged Equity
Securities is in effect, each Lien Grantor shall have the right, from time to
time, to vote and to give consents, ratifications and waivers with respect to
the Pledged Equity Securities owned by it, and the Collateral Agent shall, upon
receiving a written request from such Lien Grantor, deliver to such Lien Grantor
or as specified in such request such proxies, powers of attorney, consents,
ratifications and waivers in respect of any of such Pledged Equity Securities
which are registered in the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee as shall
be specified in such request and be in form and substance satisfactory to the
Collateral Agent. Unless an Enforcement Notice directing the Collateral Agent to
do so is in effect, the Collateral Agent shall have no right to take any action
which the owner of a Pledged Partnership Interest or Pledged LLC Interest is
entitled to take with respect thereto, except the right to receive and retain
payments and other distributions to the extent provided in Section 10.

         (b) If an Enforcement Notice directing the Collateral Agent to do so
is in effect, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to the extent permitted
by law (and, in the case of a Pledged Partnership Interest or Pledged LLC
Interest, by the relevant partnership agreement, operating agreement or other
governing document) and each Lien Grantor shall take all such action as may be
necessary or appropriate to give effect to such right, to vote and to give
consents, ratifications and waivers, and take any other action with respect to
any or all of the Pledged Equity Interests with the same force and effect as if
the Collateral Agent were the

                                      26
<PAGE>

absolute and sole owner thereof; provided that the Collateral Agent shall not
have the right to vote or to give consents, ratifications or waivers with
respect to the capital stock of any Insurance Subsidiary to the extent that such
action would require prior regulatory approval under applicable state law unless
such approval shall have been granted.

         Section 10. Right to Receive Distributions on Collateral. Subject to
Section 18, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to receive and to retain
as Collateral hereunder all dividends, interest and other payments and
distributions made upon or with respect to the Pledged Equity Interests and each
Lien Grantor shall take all such action as the Collateral Agent may deem
necessary or appropriate to give effect to such right; provided that, unless an
Enforcement Notice is in effect, this sentence shall not apply to Cash
Distributions. All such dividends, interest and other payments and distributions
which are received by any Lien Grantor (except Cash Distributions received when
no Enforcement Notice is in effect) shall be received in trust for the benefit
of the Secured Parties and shall be segregated from other assets of such Lien
Grantor and shall, promptly upon such Lien Grantor's receipt thereof, be
delivered or paid over to the Collateral Agent in the same form as received
(with any necessary endorsements or executed assignments in blank), together
with a statement identifying the source of such Collateral and stating that it
is being delivered to the Collateral Agent to be held as Collateral under this
Agreement. If an Enforcement Notice is withdrawn pursuant to Section 21 (and no
other Enforcement Notice is then in effect), the Collateral Agent's right to
retain Cash Distributions under this Section 10 shall cease and the Collateral
Agent shall pay over to the relevant Lien Grantor(s) any Cash Distributions
retained by it during the continuance of such Enforcement Notice.

         Section 11. General Authority. Each Lien Grantor hereby irrevocably
appoints the Collateral Agent its true and lawful attorney, with full power of
substitution, in the name of such Lien Grantor, any Secured Party or otherwise,
for the sole use and benefit of the Secured Parties, but at the expense of such
Lien Grantor, to the extent permitted by law to exercise, at any time and from
time to time while an Enforcement Notice directing it to do so is in effect, all
or any of the following powers with respect to all or any of such Lien Grantor's
Collateral:

                   (i) to demand, sue for, collect, receive and give acquittance
         for any and all monies due or to become due upon or by virtue thereof,

                   (ii) to settle, compromise, compound, prosecute or defend any
         action or proceeding with respect thereto,

                                      27
<PAGE>

                   (iii) to sell, transfer, assign or otherwise deal in or with
         the same or the proceeds or avails thereof, as fully and effectually as
         if the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof, and

                   (iv) to extend the time of payment of any or all thereof and
         to make any allowance and other adjustments with reference thereto;

provided that the Collateral Agent shall give such Lien Grantor not less than
ten days' prior written notice of the time and place of any sale or other
intended disposition of any Personal Property Collateral owned by such Lien
Grantor and such other notices as may be required by the Credit Agreement,
except in respect of any such Personal Property Collateral which threatens to
decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized
market. The Collateral Agent and each Lien Grantor agree that such notice
constitutes "reasonable notification" within the meaning of Section 9-504(3) of
the UCC.

         Section 12. Remedies upon Enforcement Notice. (a) Upon being instructed
to do so in an Enforcement Notice or in written instructions given by the
Required Lenders at any time while an Enforcement Notice is in effect, the
Collateral Agent shall exercise (or cause its co-agents and co-trustees, if any,
to exercise) any or all of the remedies available to it (or to such co-agents or
co-trustees) under the Collateral Documents.

         (b) Upon being instructed to do so in an Enforcement Notice or in
written instructions given by the Required Lenders at any time while an
Enforcement Notice is in effect, the Collateral Agent shall exercise on behalf
of the Secured Parties all the rights of a secured party under the UCC (whether
or not in effect in the jurisdiction where such rights are exercised) with
respect to any Personal Property Collateral and, in addition, the Collateral
Agent may, without being required to give any notice, except as provided in the
Credit Agreement or herein or as may be required by mandatory provisions of law,
withdraw all cash and Temporary Cash Investments held in any of the Collateral
Accounts or Concentration Accounts and apply such cash and Temporary Cash
Investments and other cash, if any, then held by it as Collateral as specified
in Section 15 and, if there shall be no such cash or if such cash shall be
insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations in full, sell the Collateral or
any part thereof at public or private sale or at any broker's board or on any
securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, and at such
price or prices as the Required Lenders shall have advised the Collateral Agent
are satisfactory; provided that the right of the Collateral Agent to sell or
otherwise realize upon the capital stock of any Insurance Subsidiary shall be
subject to the Collateral Agent's or the relevant Lien Grantor's obtaining, to
the extent necessary under applicable law, the prior approval of such sale or
other realization by the superintendent of insurance or other similar official
having jurisdiction with respect to such Insurance

                                      28
<PAGE>

Subsidiary. Any Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the
Collateral so sold at any public sale (or, if the Collateral is of a type
customarily sold in a recognized market or is of a type which is the subject of
widely distributed standard price quotations, at any private sale). The
Collateral Agent is authorized, in connection with any such sale, if it deems it
advisable so to do, to restrict the prospective bidders on or purchasers of any
of the securities included in the Collateral to a limited number of
sophisticated investors who will represent and agree that they are purchasing
for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or
sale of any of such securities, to cause to be placed on any security included
in the Collateral a legend to the effect that such security has not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be disposed of in
violation of the provisions of said Act, and to impose such other limitations or
conditions in connection with any such sale as the Collateral Agent deems
necessary or advisable in order to comply with said Act or any other law. Each
Lien Grantor agrees that it will execute and deliver such documents and take
such other action as the Collateral Agent deems necessary or advisable in order
that any such sale may be made in compliance with law. Upon any such sale the
Collateral Agent shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer to the
purchaser thereof the Collateral so sold. Each purchaser at any such sale shall
hold the Collateral so sold absolutely and free from any claim or right of
whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of redemption of any Lien Grantor
which may be waived, and each Lien Grantor, to the extent permitted by law,
hereby specifically waives all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which it
has or may have under any law now existing or hereafter adopted. Notice of any
such sale shall be given to the relevant Lien Grantor(s) as required by Section
11 (including as required by the Credit Agreement) and shall in case of a public
sale, state the time and place fixed for such sale, in case of sale at a
broker's board or on a securities exchange, state the board or exchange at which
such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or the portion
thereof so being sold, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange,
and in case of a private sale, state the day after which such sale may be
consummated. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within
ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may
fix in the notice of such sale. At any such sale the Collateral may be sold in
one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent may
determine. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any such sale
pursuant to any such notice. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or
publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be
adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the
sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be so
adjourned. In case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral on credit or
for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral
Agent until the selling price is paid by the purchaser thereof, but the
Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in case of the failure of such
purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such

                                      29
<PAGE>

failure, such Collateral may again be sold upon like notice. Upon being
instructed to do so by the Required Lenders in an Enforcement Notice or in
written instructions given at any time while an Enforcement Notice is in effect,
the Collateral Agent, instead of exercising the power of sale herein conferred
upon it, may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose the
Security Interests and sell the Collateral, or any portion thereof, under a
judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction. The foregoing
provisions of this subsection shall apply to Real Property Collateral only to
the extent permitted by applicable law and the provisions of any applicable
Mortgage or other document.

     (c) For the purpose of enforcing any and all rights and remedies under this
Agreement, the Collateral Agent may (i) require each Lien Grantor to, and each
Lien Grantor agrees that it will, at its expense and upon the request of the
Collateral Agent, forthwith assemble all or any part of its Personal Property
Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available at a place
designated by the Collateral Agent which is, in its opinion, reasonably
convenient to the Collateral Agent and such Lien Grantor, whether at the
premises of such Lien Grantor or otherwise, (ii) to the extent permitted by
applicable law, enter, with or without process of law and without breach of the
peace, any premises where any of the Personal Property Collateral is or may be
located, and without charge or liability to it seize and remove such Personal
Property Collateral from such premises, (iii) have access to and use such Lien
Grantor's books and records relating to its Collateral and (iv) prior to the
disposition of its Personal Property Collateral, store or transfer it without
charge in or by means of any storage or transportation facility owned or leased
by such Lien Grantor, process, repair or recondition it or otherwise prepare it
for disposition in any manner and to the extent the Collateral Agent deems
appropriate and, in connection with such preparation and disposition, use
without charge any trademark, trade name, copyright, patent or technical process
used by such Lien Grantor. The Collateral Agent may also render any or all of
such Personal Property Collateral unusable at such Lien Grantor's premises and
may dispose of such Personal Property Collateral on such premises without
liability for rent or costs. The foregoing provisions of this subsection shall
apply to Real Property Collateral only to the extent permitted by applicable law
and the provisions of any applicable Mortgage or other document.

     (d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Enforcement
Notice is in effect,

                (i) the Collateral Agent may, upon proper notice as provided in
         Section 11 hereof, license, or sublicense, whether general, special or
         otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, any
         Intellectual Property included in the Collateral throughout the world
         for such term or terms, on such conditions and in such manner as the

                                      30
<PAGE>

         Collateral Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; provided that
         such licenses do not conflict with any existing licenses;

                  (ii) the Collateral Agent may, upon proper notice as provided
         in Section 11 hereof (without assuming any obligations or liability
         thereunder), at any time and from time to time, in its sole and
         reasonable discretion, enforce (and shall have the exclusive right to
         enforce) against any licensee or sublicensee all rights and remedies of
         any Lien Grantor in, to and under any of its Intellectual Property and
         take or refrain from taking any action under any thereof, and each Lien
         Grantor hereby releases the Collateral Agent and each of the other
         Secured Parties from, and agrees to hold the Collateral Agent and each
         of the other Secured Parties free and harmless from and against any
         claims and expenses arising out of, any lawful action so taken or
         omitted to be taken with respect thereto, except for claims and
         expenses arising from the Collateral Agent's or such Secured Party's
         gross negligence or willful misconduct; and

                 (iii) upon request by the Collateral Agent (which shall not be
         construed as implying any limitation on the rights or powers of the
         Collateral Agent), each Lien Grantor will execute and deliver to the
         Collateral Agent a power of attorney, in form and substance
         satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, for the implementation of any
         lease, assignment, license, sublicense, grant of option, sale or other
         disposition of any Intellectual Property owned by such Lien Grantor or
         any action related thereto. In the event of any such disposition
         pursuant to this Section, subject to confidentiality restrictions
         imposed on such Lien Grantor in any license or similar agreement, such
         Lien Grantor shall supply its know-how and expertise relating to or the
         products or services made or rendered in connection with Patents, and
         its customer lists and other records relating to such Intellectual
         Property and to the distribution of said products or services, to the
         Collateral Agent.

         Section 13. Fees and Expenses; Indemnification. The Borrower agrees
that it will forthwith upon demand pay to the Collateral Agent:

                   (i) the amount of any taxes which the Collateral Agent may
         have been required to pay by reason of the Security Interests or to
         free any of the Collateral from any Lien thereon;

                  (ii) the amount of any and all reasonable out-of-pocket
         expenses, including transfer taxes and reasonable fees and
         disbursements of counsel and of any other experts, which the Collateral
         Agent may incur in connection with (w) the administration or
         enforcement of this Agreement, including such expenses as are incurred
         to preserve the value of the

                                      31
<PAGE>

         Collateral and the validity, perfection, rank and value of any Security
         Interest, and all insurance expenses and all expenses of protecting,
         storing, warehousing, appraising, insuring, handling, maintaining and
         shipping any Collateral, (x) the collection, sale or other disposition
         of any Collateral, (y) the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any of
         the rights or powers conferred upon it hereunder or (z) any Enforcement
         Notice;

                 (iii) the amount of any fees that the Borrower shall have
         agreed in writing to pay to the Collateral Agent and that shall have
         become due and payable in accordance with such written agreement; and

                 (iv)  the amount required to indemnify the Collateral Agent
         for, or hold it harmless and defend it against, any loss, liability or
         expense (including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and
         any experts or co-agents appointed hereunder) incurred or suffered by
         the Collateral Agent in connection with this Agreement, except to the
         extent that such loss, liability or expense arises from the Collateral
         Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct or a breach of any duty
         that the Collateral Agent has under this Agreement (after giving effect
         to Sections 14 and 16).

Any such amount not paid to the Collateral Agent on demand shall bear interest
for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2.5% plus the
rate applicable to Base Rate Loans for such day.

         Section 14. Limitation on Duty of Collateral Agent in Respect of
Collateral. Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody and
preservation thereof, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Personal
Property Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control
of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights
against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. The Collateral
Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and
preservation of the Personal Property Collateral in its possession if such
Personal Property Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that
which it accords its own property, and shall not be liable or responsible for
any loss or damage to any of the Personal Property Collateral, or for any
diminution in the value thereof, by reason of any act or omission of any agent
or bailee selected by the Collateral Agent in good faith or by reason of any act
or omission by the Collateral Agent pursuant to instructions from the Required
Lenders (including, without limitation, any voting instruction pursuant to
Section 9), except to the extent that such liability arises from the Collateral
Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

         Section 15. Application of Proceeds. (a) So long as the Intercreditor
Agreement is in effect, following a Triggering Event (as defined therein), the

                                      32
<PAGE>

Collateral Agent shall apply (i) the proceeds of any sale of, or other
realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral, (ii) any cash held in the
Reduction Event Accounts and the Collateral Proceeds Accounts and (iii) any cash
withdrawn by it from the Concentration Accounts as set forth in the
Intercreditor Agreement.

          (b) At all times when the Intercreditor Agreement is not in effect,
upon being instructed to do so in an Enforcement Notice or in written
instructions given by the Required Lenders at any time while an Enforcement
Notice is in effect, the Collateral Agent shall apply (i) the proceeds of any
sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral, (ii) any
cash held in the Reduction Event Accounts and the Collateral Proceeds Accounts
and (iii) any cash withdrawn by it from the Concentration Accounts in the
following order of priorities:

                  first, to pay the expenses of such sale or other realization,
          including reasonable compensation to agents of and counsel for the
          Collateral Agent, and all expenses, liabilities and advances incurred
          or made by the Collateral Agent in connection with the Collateral
          Documents, and any other amounts then due and payable to the
          Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 13 hereof and to the other Agents
          pursuant to Section 11.03 of the Credit Agreement;

                  second, to pay the unpaid principal of the Secured Obligations
          ratably (or provide for the payment thereof pursuant to subsection (c)
          of this Section), until payment in full of the principal of all
          Secured Obligations shall have been made (or so provided for);

                  third, to pay all interest (including Post-Petition Interest)
          on the Secured Obligations and all letter of credit fees and
          commitment fees payable under the Credit Agreement ratably, until
          payment in full of all such interest and fees shall have been made;

                  fourth, to pay all other Secured Obligations ratably (or
          provide for the payment thereof pursuant to subsection (c) of this
          Section), until payment in full of all such other Secured Obligations
          shall have been made (or so provided for); and

                  finally, to pay to the relevant Lien Grantor or its successors
          or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, any
          surplus then remaining from the proceeds of the Collateral owned by
          it;

provided that Collateral owned by a Guarantor and any proceeds thereof shall be
applied pursuant to the foregoing clauses first, second, third and fourth only
to the extent that the Secured Obligations referred to therein are guaranteed by
such Guarantor (and, in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor, subject to the
limitation in

                                      33
<PAGE>

Section 9 of its Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement). The Collateral Agent may make
such distributions hereunder in cash or in kind or, on a ratable basis, in any
combination thereof.

          (c) If at any time any portion of any monies collected or received by
the Collateral Agent would, but for the provisions of this subsection (c), be
payable pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section (whether or not by
application of the payment provisions in the Intercreditor Agreement) in respect
of a Contingent Secured Obligation, the Collateral Agent shall not apply any
monies to pay such Contingent Secured Obligation but instead shall request the
holder thereof, at least 10 days before each proposed distribution hereunder, to
notify the Collateral Agent as to the maximum amount of such Contingent Secured
Obligation if then ascertainable (e.g., in the case of a letter of credit, the
maximum amount available for subsequent drawings thereunder). If the holder of
such Contingent Secured Obligation does not notify the Collateral Agent of the
maximum ascertainable amount thereof at least two Business Days before such
distribution, such holder shall not be entitled to share in such distribution
with respect to such Contingent Secured Obligations. If such holder does so
notify the Collateral Agent as to the maximum ascertainable amount thereof, the
Collateral Agent will allocate to such holder a portion of the monies to be
distributed in such distribution, calculated as if such Contingent Secured
Obligation were outstanding in such maximum ascertainable amount. However, the
Collateral Agent shall not apply such portion of such monies to pay such
Contingent Secured Obligation, but instead shall hold such monies or invest such
monies in Liquid Investments at the direction of the relevant Lien Grantor. The
Collateral Agent shall hold all such monies and all such Liquid Investments and
the net proceeds thereof in trust until such time as all or part of such
Contingent Secured Obligation becomes a Non-Contingent Secured Obligation,
whereupon the Collateral Agent at the request of the relevant Secured Party
shall apply the amount so held in trust to pay such Non-Contingent Secured
Obligation; provided that, if the other Secured Obligations theretofore paid
pursuant to the same clause of subsection (b) (i.e., clause second or fourth)
were not paid in full, the Collateral Agent shall apply the amount so held in
trust to pay the same percentage of such Non-Contingent Secured Obligation as
the percentage of such other Secured Obligations theretofore paid pursuant to
the same clause of subsection (b). If (i) the holder of such Contingent Secured
Obligation shall advise the Collateral Agent that no portion thereof remains in
the category of a Contingent Secured Obligation and (ii) the Collateral Agent
still holds any amount held in trust pursuant to this subsection (c) in respect
of such Contingent Secured Obligation (after paying all amounts payable pursuant
to the preceding sentence with respect to any portions thereof that became Non-
Contingent Secured Obligations), such remaining amount shall be applied by the
Collateral Agent in the order of priorities set forth in subsection (b) of this
Section.

                                      34
<PAGE>

          (d) In making the payments and allocations required by this Section,
the Collateral Agent may rely upon information supplied to it pursuant to
Section 16(f). All distributions made by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this
Section shall be final (except in the event of manifest error) and the
Collateral Agent shall have no duty to inquire as to the application by the
Secured Parties of any amount distributed to them.

          Section 16. Concerning the Collateral Agent. (a) The Collateral Agent
is authorized to take all such action as is provided or permitted to be taken by
it as Collateral Agent under the Collateral Documents and all other action
reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for
herein or in an Enforcement Notice or in written requests, directions or
instructions given as expressly provided in Section 6, 7, 9, 12 or 15,
including, without limitation, the timing and methods of realization upon the
Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall act or refrain from acting in accordance
with written instructions from the Required Lenders or, in the absence of such
instructions, in accordance with its discretion (subject to Section 16(c));
provided that the Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to comply with any
such instructions that are inconsistent with the provisions of the Collateral
Documents.

          (b) The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the existence,
genuineness or value of any Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority
or enforceability of the Security Interests in any Collateral, whether impaired
by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part
under the Collateral Documents. The Collateral Agent shall have no duty to
ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of
this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other agreement relating to the
Secured Obligations.

          (c) The obligations of the Collateral Agent under the Collateral
Documents are only those expressly set forth therein. In any case in which the
Collateral Agent is authorized to exercise any power or discretion, the
Collateral Agent may refrain from such exercise unless directed in writing by
the Required Lenders to act in the manner specified in such direction.

          (d) The Collateral Agent may:

                   (i) consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the
          Borrower or any Guarantor) and

                  (ii) to the extent that the Collateral Agent in good faith
          deems it appropriate in connection with its duties hereunder to do so,
          consult with independent public accountants and other experts selected
          by it in connection with any matter arising under the Collateral
          Documents and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to
          be taken by it in good

                                      35
<PAGE>

         faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or
         experts.

         (e) Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its directors, officers,
agents, or employees shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in
connection with any Collateral Document (i) in accordance with directions set
forth in an Enforcement Notice or (ii) with the consent or at the request of the
Required Lenders or (iii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct. However, nothing in this subsection (e) shall affect any rights any
Lien Grantor may have (x) against the Lenders for requesting the Administrative
Agent to give the directions set forth in an Enforcement Notice or (y) against
the Required Lenders for giving any other consent, request, notice or
instruction. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its directors, officers,
agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain,
inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in
connection with any Collateral Document, (ii) the performance or observance of
any of the covenants or agreements of any Lien Grantor or (iii) the validity,
effectiveness or genuineness of any Collateral Document or any other instrument
or writing furnished in connection therewith. The Collateral Agent shall not
incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate,
statement or other writing (which may be a bank wire, telex, facsimile or
similar writing) believed by it in good faith to be genuine or to be signed by
the proper party or parties.

         (f) For all purposes of the Collateral Documents, including without
limitation determining from time to time the amounts of the Secured Obligations,
whether a Secured Obligation is a Contingent Secured Obligation or not, or
whether any notice, direction or instruction has been given by the Required
Lenders or any other Secured Party or Secured Parties entitled to give the same
under any provision of the Collateral Documents, the Collateral Agent shall be
entitled to rely upon information from the following sources (and may refrain
from acting on the basis of such information until one Business Day after it
receives all such information required to enable it to take such action):

                   (i) the Administrative Agent for information as to the Lender
         Parties and their respective Secured Obligations outstanding under the
         Credit Agreement (including whether any action has been taken or
         instruction given by the Required Lenders);

                  (ii) any Secured Party for information as to itself and its
         Secured Obligations, to the extent that the Collateral Agent has not
         received such information from the Administrative Agent; and

                 (iii) any Lien Grantor for information as to any Secured Party
         and its Secured Obligations, to the extent that the Collateral Agent
         has not

                                      36
<PAGE>

          received such information from the sources referred to in clauses (i)
          and (ii) above.

          (g) The Collateral Agent shall have no liability to any Lien Grantor
or any Secured Party for actions taken in reliance on such information, except
to the extent that such liability arises from the Collateral Agent's gross
negligence or willful misconduct.

          (h) (i) The Collateral Agent may resign at any time (effective upon
acceptance by a successor Collateral Agent of its appointment hereunder) by
giving written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, each of the Secured
Parties Requesting Notice and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the
Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Collateral Agent.
If no successor Collateral Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required
Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the
retiring Collateral Agent gives notice of resignation, the retiring Collateral
Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor Collateral
Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized or licensed under the laws of
the United States or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and
surplus of at least $100,000,000. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as
Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent, such successor
Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the
rights and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent, and the retiring Collateral
Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any
retiring Collateral Agent's resignation hereunder as Collateral Agent, the
provisions of this Section and Sections 13 and 14 shall inure to its benefit as
to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Collateral
Agent.

                  (ii) Without prejudice to its rights under paragraph (i),
          Morgan may resign as Collateral Agent at any time and may appoint any
          other subsidiary of J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. to such role by giving
          written notice thereof to each of the Secured Parties Requesting
          Notice and the Borrower. Upon such appointment, such subsidiary shall
          thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties
          of the Collateral Agent and Morgan shall be discharged from its duties
          and obligations in such capacity hereunder. After Morgan resigns as
          Collateral Agent under this paragraph (ii), the provisions of this
          Section and Sections 13 and 14 shall inure to its benefit as to any
          actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Collateral
          Agent.

          (i) Within two Business Days after it receives or sends any notice
referred to in this subsection (i), the Collateral Agent shall send to the
Administrative Agent and each of the Secured Parties Requesting Notice, copies
of any Enforcement Notice received by the Collateral Agent, any notice

                                      37
<PAGE>

withdrawing an Enforcement Notice received by the Collateral Agent pursuant to
Section 21, any certificate designating additional obligations as Secured
Obligations received by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 22 and any
other notice given by the Collateral Agent to any Lien Grantor, or received by
it from any Lien Grantor, pursuant to Section 11, 12, 15 or 18. The Collateral
Agent shall also send to the Lien Grantors copies of any Enforcement Notice or
any notice withdrawing an Enforcement Notice received by the Collateral Agent.

          (j) The Collateral Agent may refuse to act on any notice, direction or
instruction from the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders, or any Secured
Party, or any agent, trustee or similar representative thereof which, in the
Collateral Agent's good faith opinion, is contrary to law or the provisions of
any Collateral Document, is unduly prejudicial to Secured Parties not joining in
such notice, direction or instruction or may expose the Collateral Agent to
liability (unless the Collateral Agent shall have been adequately indemnified
for such liability by the Secured Parties that gave, or instructed the
Administrative Agent to give, such notice, direction or instruction).

          Section 17. Appointment of Co-collateral Agents. At any time or times,
in order to comply with any legal requirement in any jurisdiction, the
Collateral Agent may appoint another bank or trust company or one or more other
persons, either to act as co-agent or co-agents, jointly with the Collateral
Agent, or to act as separate agent or agents on behalf of the Secured Parties
with such power and authority as may be necessary for the effectual operation of
the provisions of any Collateral Document and may be specified in the instrument
of appointment (which may, in the discretion of the Collateral Agent, include
provisions for the protection of such co-agent or separate agent similar to the
provisions of Section 16).

          Section 18. Termination of Security Interests; Release of Collateral;
Reinstatement. (a) When (i) all the Commitments and the Swingline Commitment
shall have expired or been terminated, (ii) all Letters of Credit shall have
expired or been canceled or been secured with cash collateral in an amount and
on terms satisfactory to the relevant LC Issuing Bank and (iii) all outstanding
Secured Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full, the Security
Interests shall terminate and all rights to each item of Collateral shall revert
to the Lien Grantor that owns such item of Collateral.

          (b) At any time before the Security Interests terminate pursuant to
subsection (a) of this Section, so long as an Enforcement Notice is not in
effect, the Collateral Agent shall, upon the written request of the Borrower,
release any of the Collateral (but not all or substantially all of the
Collateral) with the prior written consent of the Required Lenders.

                                      38
<PAGE>

          (c) At any time before the Security Interests terminate pursuant to
subsection (a) of this Section, unless an Enforcement Notice is in effect, (i)
the Collateral Agent shall release Collateral (but not all or substantially all
the Collateral) upon receiving from the Administrative Agent written
instructions (A) directing the Collateral Agent to release such Collateral, (B)
stating that the Borrower has requested such release pursuant to Section 2.18 of
the Credit Agreement and (C) stating that the Administrative Agent believes that
the Borrower is entitled to such release pursuant to said Section 2.18 and (ii)
the Security Interests in any assets sold or exchanged (but not in any Proceeds
arising from such sale or exchange) by any Lien Grantor (other than a sale or
exchange to another Lien Grantor) in any transaction permitted by the proviso in
Section 5(j) shall cease concurrently with such sale or exchange. No such
release shall require the consent of any Secured Party and, in the case of any
release pursuant to clause (i), the Collateral Agent shall be fully protected in
relying on such instructions from the Administrative Agent.

          (d) The Security Interests in any property abandoned by any Lien
Grantor to Ventas pursuant to Section 6.2 of any Master Lease Agreement to which
the Borrower and Vencor is a party shall be automatically terminated without any
necessity to deliver any termination statements or releases. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, at the request of Ventas, certifying that such an abandonment has
occurred, the Collateral Agent, shall execute and deliver to Ventas, at the
expense of Ventas, such documents as are necessary in order to evidence such
termination of Security Interests.

          (e) Upon any such termination of the Security Interests or release of
Collateral pursuant to the foregoing clauses (other than clause (d)), the
Collateral Agent will, at the expense of the relevant Lien Grantor, execute and
deliver to such Lien Grantor such documents as such Lien Grantor shall
reasonably request to evidence the termination of the Security Interests or the
release of such Collateral, as the case may be.

          (f) Notwithstanding Section 18(a), this Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or
against any Lien Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Lien
Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor
or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any
significant part of any Lien Grantor's assets, and shall continue to be
effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and
performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to
applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or
returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a "voidable
preference", "fraudulent conveyance", or otherwise, all as though such payment
or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part
thereof, is rescinded,

                                      39
<PAGE>

reduced, restored, or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and
deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored
or returned.

          SECTION 19. Additional Subsidiary Guarantors. Any Subsidiary of the
Borrower which is not a party hereto may become a party hereto by executing and
delivering to the Collateral Agent a Security Agreement Supplement, whereupon
such Subsidiary shall become a "Subsidiary Guarantor", a "Lien Grantor" and a
party hereto.

Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (x) if given

UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR UNDER ANY OTHER FINANCING DOCUMENT SHALL CONSTITUTE
NOTICE TO ALL LIEN GRANTORS FOR ALL PURPOSES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER, AND
NOTICE FROM THE BORROWER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR UNDER ANY OTHER FINANCING
DOCUMENT PURPORTING TO BE NOTICE FROM ALL LIEN GRANTORS SHALL CONSTITUTE NOTICE
FROM ALL LIEN GRANTORS FOR ALL PURPOSES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER. Each Lien
Grantor other than the Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Borrower as such
Lien Grantor's agent and attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and
stead of such Lien Grantor and in the name of such Lien Grantor, the Borrower or
otherwise, from time to time in the Borrower's discretion, to execute and
deliver (and receive, where applicable) any and all written notices and
communications hereunder on behalf of the Lien Grantors to the Agents and the

believes in good faith to have been given by a duly authorized officer or other
person authorized by the Borrower.

          Section 21. Withdrawal of Enforcement Notice. An Enforcement Notice,
once given, shall remain in effect unless and until (i) the Required Lenders
notify the Collateral Agent that they wish to withdraw such Enforcement Notice,
(ii) no monies have been applied to pay any Secured Obligations pursuant to
Section 15 (except pursuant to clause first of subsection (b) thereof) as a
result of such

<PAGE>

Enforcement Notice and (iii) the Collateral Agent determines that the withdrawal
of such Enforcement Notice will not result in any liability or unreimbursed loss
to the Collateral Agent by reason of actions taken by it in reliance thereon.

          Section 22. Additional Secured Obligations. The Borrower may from time
to time designate the obligations of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary
under any Interest Rate Agreement (collectively, "hedging transactions") as an
additional Secured Obligation for purposes hereof by delivering to the
Collateral Agent a certificate signed by a Financial Officer identifying such
hedging transaction, stating that such hedging transaction is designated as a
Designated Interest Rate Agreement for purposes hereof and specifying the name
and address of the counterparty to such hedging transaction; provided that at no
time shall the aggregate notional principal amount of all hedging transactions
then in effect and included in the Secured Obligations pursuant to this Section
exceed $300,000,000.

          Section 23. Waivers, Remedies Not Exclusive. No failure on the part of
the Collateral Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising and no course of
dealing with respect to, any right or remedy under any Collateral Document shall
operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by the
Collateral Agent of any right or remedy under the Credit Agreement or any
Collateral Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies specified in the
Collateral Documents and the Credit Agreement are cumulative and are not
exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

          Section 24. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is for the benefit
of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties and their respective successors
and assigns, and in the event of an assignment of all or any of the Secured
Obligations, the rights of the holder thereof hereunder, to the extent
applicable to the indebtedness so assigned, shall be transferred with such
indebtedness. This Agreement shall be binding on the Lien Grantors and their
respective successors and assigns.

          Section 25. Changes in Writing. Neither this Agreement nor any
provision hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated except in
accordance with Section 11.05 of the Credit Agreement.

          Section 26. NEW YORK LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
(INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK), WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE

<PAGE>

MANDATORY PROVISIONS OF LAW AND EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT REMEDIES PROVIDED BY
THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK ARE GOVERNED BY
THE LAWS OF SUCH JURISDICTION.

          Section 27. Severability. If any provision of any Collateral Document
is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, the other provisions of the Collateral Documents shall remain
in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and shall be liberally construed
in favor of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties in order to carry out
the intentions of the parties thereto as nearly as may be possible; and the
invalidity or unenforceability of any provision thereof in any jurisdiction
shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other
jurisdiction.

          Section 28. Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, the terms of this Agreement, and the rights of the Collateral
Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder, are subject to the Intercreditor

                      SENIOR SECURITY AGREEMENT SUPPLEMENT

         SENIOR SECURITY AGREEMENT SUPPLEMENT (the "Security Agreement
Supplement") dated as of _______, ____, between [name of Subsidiary Guarantor]
(the "Subsidiary Guarantor") and [Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York], as

         WHEREAS, Vencor Operating, Inc. (to be renamed Kindred Healthcare

         2. Delivery of Collateral. Concurrently with delivering this Security

complying with the provisions of Section 4 of the Security Agreement with
respect to all stock certificates and other certificates representing Equity
Interests (if any) included in the New Collateral and all Instruments (if any)
included in the New Collateral.
<PAGE>

     3.   Party to Security Agreement. Upon delivery of this Security Agreement
Supplement to the Collateral Agent, the Subsidiary Guarantor will become a party
to the Security Agreement and will thereafter have all of the rights and
obligations of a Subsidiary Guarantor thereunder and be bound by all of the
provisions thereof as fully as if the Subsidiary Guarantor were one of the
original parties thereto.

     4.   Address of Subsidiary Guarantor. The address and facsimile number of
the Subsidiary Guarantor to which all notices, requests and other communications
shall be sent pursuant to Section 20 of the Security Agreement is:

     [address and facsimile number of Subsidiary Guarantor]

     5.   Representations and Warranties./1/ (a) The Subsidiary Guarantor is a
corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of [jurisdiction of incorporation].

     (b)  The Subsidiary Guarantor has delivered a Perfection Certificate to the
Collateral Agent. The information set forth therein is correct and complete as
of the date hereof. Within 60 days of the date hereof, the Subsidiary Guarantor
shall furnish to the Collateral Agent file search reports from each UCC filing
office confirming the filing information set forth in such Perfection
Certificate.

     (c)  The execution and delivery of this Security Agreement Supplement by
the Subsidiary Guarantor and the performance by it of its obligations under the
Security Agreement as supplemented hereby are within its corporate or other
powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other action,
require no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any governmental body,
agency or official and do not contravene, or constitute a default under, any
provision of applicable law or regulation or of its Organizational Documents, or
of any agreement, judgment, injunction, order, decree or other instrument
binding upon it or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than
the Liens created by the Collateral Documents and the Second Priority Collateral
Documents) on any of its assets.

     (d)  The Security Agreement as supplemented hereby constitutes a valid and
binding agreement of the Subsidiary Guarantor, enforceable in accordance with
its terms, except as may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
conveyance or other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and (ii)
general principles of equity.

<PAGE>

          (e) As of the date hereof, the Subsidiary Guarantor owns the Equity
Interests listed as being owned by it in Schedule 1 to this Security Agreement
Supplement, free and clear of any Lien other than Permitted Liens. All shares of
capital stock identified in such Schedule as being beneficially owned by the
Subsidiary Guarantor have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully
paid and non-assessable, and are subject to no option to purchase or similar
right of any Person. The Subsidiary Guarantor is not and will not become a party
to or become otherwise bound by any agreement, other than the Financing
Documents and the Second Priority Financing Documents, which restricts in any
manner the rights of any present or future holder of any Pledged Equity Interest
with respect thereto.

          (f) The Subsidiary Guarantor has good and marketable title to all of
its Collateral (except Intellectual Property), free and clear of any Lien other
than Permitted Liens. To the best of its knowledge, the Subsidiary Guarantor has
good title or other rights in and to all Intellectual Property owned by or
licensed to it on the date hereof, free and clear of any Lien other than
Permitted Liens. The Subsidiary Guarantor has taken all actions necessary under
the UCC to perfect its interest in any Accounts purchased or otherwise acquired
by it, as against its assignors and creditors of its assignors.

          (g) Other than granting Permitted Liens, the Subsidiary Guarantor has
not performed any acts that might prevent the Collateral Agent from enforcing
any of the provisions of the Collateral Documents or that would limit the
Collateral Agent in any such enforcement. No financing statement, security
agreement, mortgage or similar or equivalent document or instrument covering all
or any part of the Collateral owned by it is on file or of record in any
jurisdiction in which such filing or recording would be effective to perfect or
record a Lien on such Collateral, except financing statements, mortgages or
other similar or equivalent documents with respect to Permitted Liens. After the
date hereof, no Collateral owned by it will be in the possession of any Person
(other than the Subsidiary Guarantor) asserting any claim thereto or security
interest therein (except Permitted Liens), except that (i) the Collateral Agent
or its designee may have possession of Collateral as contemplated hereby and
(ii) cash and Temporary Cash Investments may be held in the Concentration
Accounts.

          (h) The Personal Property Security Interests constitute valid security
interests in all Personal Property Collateral owned by the Subsidiary Guarantor
thereby securing its Secured Obligations, and constitute security interests
therein prior to all other Liens other than Liens permitted under the Credit
Agreement to be senior in priority to the Liens of the Lenders.

          (i) Upon the delivery of the Pledged Instruments (if any) and the
Pledged Equity Securities owned by the Subsidiary Guarantor to the Collateral
Agent in accordance with Section 4 of the Security Agreement, the Collateral
Agent will

                                      A-3
<PAGE>

have valid and perfected security interests in such Collateral subject to no
prior Lien, other than Permitted Liens.

          (j) When UCC financing statements shall have been filed in the
appropriate offices, the Personal Property Security Interests will constitute
perfected security interests in the Personal Property Collateral owned by the
Subsidiary Guarantor to the extent that a security interest therein may be
perfected by filing pursuant to the UCC, prior (except in the case of
Intellectual Property) to all Liens and rights of others therein except
Permitted Liens. When, in addition to the filing of such UCC financing
statements, the applicable Intellectual Property Filings have been made with
respect to the Subsidiary Guarantor's Intellectual Properties (including any
future filings required pursuant to Sections 5(c) and 5(d) of the Security
Agreement), the Personal Property Security Interests will constitute perfected
security interests in all right, title and interest of the Subsidiary Guarantor
in its Intellectual Property to the extent that security interests therein may
be perfected by such filings and, to the best of the Subsidiary Guarantor's
knowledge, such security interests will be prior to all other Liens and rights
of others therein except Permitted Liens. Except for (i) the filing of such UCC
financing statements, (ii) such Intellectual Property Filings, (iii) the due
recordation of memoranda of lease with respect to any Real Property Collateral
leased or subleased to the Subsidiary Guarantor and any assignments of any such
lease or sublease and (iv) the due recordation of the Fee Mortgages and the
Leasehold Mortgages, no registration, recordation or filing with any
governmental body, agency or official is required in connection with the
execution or delivery of the Collateral Documents or is necessary for the
validity or enforceability thereof or for the perfection or due recordation of

                     SENIOR SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY AGREEMENT

     Guaranty Agreement dated as of April 20, 2001 (as amended from time to
time, this "Guaranty Agreement") by the undersigned Subsidiaries (the
"Subsidiary Guarantors") of Vencor Operating, Inc. (to be renamed Kindred
Healthcare Operating, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (the "Borrower"), for the
benefit of the Lender Parties and the Interest Hedge Counterparties (as such
terms are defined in the Credit Agreement referred to below).

     WHEREAS, the Borrower has entered into a $120,000,000 Credit Agreement
dated as of April 20, 2001 (the "Credit Agreement") among the Borrower, Vencor,
the Lenders party thereto, the Swingline Bank party thereto, the LC Issuing
Banks party thereto, Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, as
Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, and General Electric Capital
Corporation, as Documentation Agent and Collateral Monitoring Agent, pursuant to
which the Borrower desires to borrow funds and obtain letters of credit, all on
the terms and conditions set forth therein; and

     WHEREAS, the Lenders, the Swingline Bank and the LC Issuing Banks are not
willing to make loans or issue or participate in letters of credit under the
Credit Agreement unless the Borrower causes each of its Restricted Subsidiaries
to guarantee the performance of the Borrower's obligations under the Financing
Documents referred to therein; and

     WHEREAS, the Borrower desires to assume obligations under certain interest
rate hedging arrangements and the counterparties to such arrangements are not
willing to enter into such arrangements unless the Restricted Subsidiaries
guarantee the performance of the Borrower's obligations thereunder;

     NOW, THEREFORE, each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees as follows:

     Section 1.  Definitions.  Terms defined in the Credit Agreement and not
otherwise defined herein have, as used herein, the respective meanings provided
for therein.

     Section 2. The Guarantees. Each Subsidiary Guarantor, jointly and
severally, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the full and punctual
payment of all present and future indebtedness and other obligations of the
<PAGE>

Borrower evidenced by or arising under any Financing Document or Designated
Interest Rate Agreement as and when the same shall become due and payable,
whether at maturity or by declaration or otherwise, according to the terms
hereof and thereof (including any interest which accrues on any of the foregoing
obligations after the commencement of any case, proceeding or other action
relating to the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Borrower,
whether or not allowed or allowable as a claim in any such proceeding). If the
Borrower fails punctually to pay any indebtedness or other obligation guaranteed
hereby, each Subsidiary Guarantor unconditionally agrees to cause such payment
to be made punctually as and when the same shall become due and payable, whether
at maturity or by declaration or otherwise, and as if such payment were made by
the Borrower.

     Section 3. Taxes. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees to comply with Section
10.04 of the Credit Agreement as if it were a party thereto.

     Section 4. Guarantee Unconditional. Except as provided in Section 9 hereof,
the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under this Guaranty Agreement shall
be unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by:

     (a)  any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in
respect of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Guarantor under any
Financing Document or Designated Interest Rate Agreement by operation of law or
otherwise;

     (b)  any modification, amendment or waiver of or supplement to any
Financing Document or Designated Interest Rate Agreement;

     (c)  any release, impairment, non-perfection or invalidity of any direct or
indirect security, or of any guarantee or other liability of any third party,
for any obligation of the Borrower or any other Guarantor under any Financing
Document or Designated Interest Rate Agreement;

     (d)  any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the
Borrower or any other Guarantor, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization
or other similar proceeding affecting the Borrower or any other Guarantor or its
assets, or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Borrower
or any other Guarantor contained in any Financing Document or Designated
Interest Rate Agreement;

                                       2
<PAGE>

     (e)  the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which such
Subsidiary Guarantor may have at any time against the Borrower, any other
Guarantor, any Lender Party or any other Person, whether or not arising in
connection with this Guaranty Agreement; provided that nothing herein shall
prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory
counterclaim;

     (f)  any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the
Borrower or any other Guarantor for any reason of any Financing Document or
Designated Interest Rate Agreement, or any provision of applicable law or
regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by the Borrower or any other
Guarantor of any amount payable by it under any Financing Document or Designated
Interest Rate Agreement; or

     (g)  any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Borrower,
any other Guarantor, any Lender Party or any other Person or any other
circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this Section,
constitute a legal or equitable discharge of such Subsidiary Guarantor's
obligations under this Guaranty Agreement.

     Section 5. Discharge Only Upon Payment in Full; Reinstatement in Certain
Circumstances. Each Subsidiary Guarantor's obligations under this Guaranty
Agreement constitute a continuing guaranty and shall remain in full force and
effect until the Revolving Credit Exposure of each Lender shall have been
reduced to zero, the Designated Interest Rate Agreements shall have been
terminated and all amounts payable by the Borrower under the Financing Documents
and Designated Interest Rate Agreements shall have been paid in full. If at any
time any amount payable by the Borrower under any Financing Document or
Designated Interest Rate Agreement is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or
returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or
otherwise, each Subsidiary Guarantor's obligations under this Guaranty Agreement
with respect to such payment shall be reinstated at such time as though such
payment had become due but had not been made at such time.

     Section 6. Waiver. Each Subsidiary Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance
hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as
well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person
against the Borrower or any other Person or against any security.

     Section 7. Subrogation and Contribution. When any Subsidiary Guarantor
makes any payment hereunder with respect to the obligations of the Borrower,
such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the payee against
the Borrower with respect to the portion of such obligations paid by such
Subsidiary Guarantor, and shall also have a right of contribution in respect of
such

                                       3
<PAGE>

payment against all other Guarantors pro rata among them based on their
respective net fair value as enterprises; provided that such Subsidiary
Guarantor shall not enforce any payment by way of subrogation against the
Borrower or contribution against any other Guarantor so long as any Lender has
any Revolving Credit Exposure under the Credit Agreement or any Designated
Interest Rate Agreement has not been terminated or any amount payable by the
Borrower under any Financing Document or Designated Interest Rate Agreement
remains unpaid.

     Section 8. Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of
any amount payable by the Borrower under any Financing Document or Designated
Interest Rate Agreement is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization of the Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to
acceleration under the terms of such Financing Document or Designated Interest
Rate Agreement shall nonetheless be payable by each Subsidiary Guarantor
hereunder forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent made, in the case of
any Loans, at the request of the Required Lenders or, in the case of obligations
under a Designated Interest Rate Agreement, at the request of the relevant
Interest Hedge Counterparty.

     Section 9. Limit of Liability. The Subsidiary Guarantors and the
beneficiaries of this Guaranty Agreement intend that this Guaranty Agreement
shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public
policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. If and to
the extent that the obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Guaranty
Agreement would, in the absence of this sentence, be adjudicated to be invalid
or unenforceable because of any applicable state or federal law relating to
fraudulent conveyances or transfers, then the amount of such Subsidiary
Guarantor's liability hereunder in respect of the obligations of the Borrower
guaranteed hereunder shall be deemed to be reduced ab initio to the maximum
amount which would be permitted without causing such Subsidiary Guarantor's
obligations hereunder to be so invalidated.

     Section 10. Notices.  Notices and other communications hereunder shall be
given in writing in the manner specified in or pursuant to Section 11.01 of the
Credit Agreement.

     Section 11. GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. THIS GUARANTY
AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL
OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK), WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS
PRINCIPLES. EACH SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR HEREBY SUBMITS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE
JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED

                                       4
<PAGE>

STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND OF ANY NEW YORK
STATE COURT SITTING IN NEW YORK CITY FOR PURPOSES OF ALL LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE FINANCING DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED THEREBY. EACH SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER
HAVE TO THE LAYING OF THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT
AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT
IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

     Section 12. Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty Agreement is for the
benefit of the Lender Parties and the Interest Hedge Counterparties and their
respective successors and assigns. If any Loans, participations in Letters of
Credit, Notes or other amounts payable under the Financing Documents are
assigned pursuant to Section 10.06 or 11.06(c) of the Credit Agreement, the
rights hereunder, to the extent applicable to the indebtedness so assigned,
shall be transferred with such indebtedness.

     Section 13. No Waiver. No failure or delay by any Lender Party or Interest
Hedge Counterparty in exercising any right, power or privilege under any
Financing Document or Designated Interest Rate Agreement shall operate as a
waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or
privilege. The rights and remedies provided in the Financing Documents and
Designated Interest Rate Agreements shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any
rights or remedies provided by law.

     Section 14. Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Guaranty
Agreement may be amended, supplemented, modified or waived as (and only as)
provided in Section 11.05 of the Credit Agreement.

     Section 15. Counterparts. This Guaranty Agreement may be signed in any
number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect
as if the signatures thereto were upon the same instrument.

     Section 16. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT, THE OTHER FINANCING
DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY. EACH SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR
(A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS
REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR

                                       5
<PAGE>

OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO
ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES
TO THE FINANCING DOCUMENTS HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS GUARANTY
AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER FINANCING DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY (AMONG OTHER
THINGS) THE WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 16 AND SECTION 11.10 OF
THE CREDIT AGREEMENT.

                                       6

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Subsidiary Guarantor has caused this Guaranty
Agreement to be duly executed by its authorized officer as of the day and year

                  SENIOR VENCOR GUARANTY AGREEMENT

         Guaranty Agreement dated as of April 20, 2001 (as amended from time to
time, this "Guaranty Agreement") by Vencor, Inc. (to be renamed Kindred
Healthcare, Inc.), a Delaware corporation ("Vencor"), for the benefit of the
Lender Parties and the Interest Hedge Counterparties (as such terms are defined
in the Credit Agreement referred to below).

         WHEREAS, Vencor Operating, Inc. (to be renamed Kindred Healthcare
Operating, Inc.), a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Vencor
(the "Borrower"), has entered into a $120,000,000 Credit Agreement dated as of
April 20, 2001 (the "Credit Agreement") among the Borrower, Vencor, the Lenders
party thereto, the Swingline Bank party thereto, the LC Issuing Banks party
thereto, Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, as Administrative Agent and
Collateral Agent, and General Electric Capital Corporation, as Documentation
Agent and Collateral Monitoring Agent, pursuant to which the Borrower desires to
borrow funds and obtain letters of credit, all on the terms and conditions set
forth therein; and

         WHEREAS, the Lenders, the Swingline Bank and the LC Issuing Banks are
not willing to make loans or issue or participate in letters of credit under the
Credit Agreement unless Vencor guarantees the performance of the Borrower's
obligations under the Financing Documents referred to therein; and

         WHEREAS, the Borrower desires to assume obligations under certain
interest rate hedging arrangements and the counterparties to such arrangements
are not willing to enter into such arrangements unless Vencor guarantees the
performance of the Borrower's obligations thereunder;

         NOW, THEREFORE, Vencor agrees as follows:

         Section 1.  Definitions. Terms defined in the Credit Agreement and not
otherwise defined herein have, as used herein, the respective meanings provided
for therein.
<PAGE>

         Section 2. The Guarantee. Vencor unconditionally and irrevocably
guarantees the full and punctual payment of all present and future indebtedness
and other obligations of the Borrower evidenced by or arising under any
Financing Document or Designated Interest Rate Agreement as and when the same
shall become due and payable, whether at maturity or by declaration or
otherwise, according to the terms hereof and thereof (including any interest
which accrues on any of the foregoing obligations after the commencement of any
case, proceeding or other action relating to the bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization of the Borrower, whether or not allowed or allowable as a claim
in any such proceeding). If the Borrower fails punctually to pay any
indebtedness or other obligation guaranteed hereby, Vencor unconditionally
agrees to cause such payment to be made punctually as and when the same shall
become due and payable, whether at maturity or by declaration or otherwise, and
as if such payment were made by the Borrower.

         Section 3. Guarantee Unconditional. The obligations of Vencor under
this Guaranty Agreement shall be unconditional and absolute and, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or
otherwise affected by:

          (a) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release
in respect of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Guarantor under any
Financing Document or Designated Interest Rate Agreement by operation of law or
otherwise;

          (b) any modification, amendment or waiver of or supplement to any
Financing Document or Designated Interest Rate Agreement;

          (c) any release, impairment, non-perfection or invalidity of any
direct or indirect security, or of any guarantee or other liability of any third
party, for any obligation of the Borrower or any other Guarantor under any
Financing Document or Designated Interest Rate Agreement;

          (d) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of
the Borrower or any other Guarantor, or any insolvency, bankruptcy,
reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Borrower or any other
Guarantor or its assets, or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation
of the Borrower or any other Guarantor contained in any Financing Document or
Designated Interest Rate Agreement;

          (e) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which Vencor
may have at any time against the Borrower, any other Guarantor, any Lender Party
or any other Person, whether or not arising in connection with this Guaranty

                                       2
<PAGE>

Agreement; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion of any such
claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim;

          (f) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the
Borrower or any other Guarantor for any reason of any Financing Document or
Designated Interest Rate Agreement, or any provision of applicable law or
regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by the Borrower or any other
Guarantor of any amount payable by it under any Financing Document or Designated
Interest Rate Agreement; or

          (g) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the
Borrower, any other Guarantor, any Lender Party or any other Person or any other
circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this Section,
constitute a legal or equitable discharge of Vencor's obligations under this
Guaranty Agreement.

         Section 4. Discharge Only Upon Payment in Full; Reinstatement in
Certain Circumstances. Vencor's obligations under this Guaranty Agreement
constitute a continuing guaranty and shall remain in full force and effect until
the Revolving Credit Exposure of each Lender shall have been reduced to zero,
the Designated Interest Rate Agreements shall have been terminated and all
amounts payable by the Borrower under the Financing Documents and Designated
Interest Rate Agreements shall have been paid in full. If at any time any amount
payable by the Borrower under any Financing Document or Designated Interest Rate
Agreement is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, Vencor's
obligations under this Guaranty Agreement with respect to such payment shall be
reinstated at such time as though such payment had become due but had not been
made at such time.

         Section 5. Waiver. Vencor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof,
presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as
any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against the
Borrower or any other Person or against any security.

         Section 6. Subrogation. When Vencor makes any payment hereunder with
respect to the obligations of the Borrower, Vencor shall be subrogated to the
rights of the payee against the Borrower with respect to the portion of such
obligations paid by Vencor; provided that Vencor shall not enforce any payment
by way of subrogation against the Borrower so long as any Lender has any
Revolving Credit Exposure under the Credit Agreement or any Designated Interest
Rate Agreement has not been terminated or any amount payable by the Borrower
under any Financing Document or Designated Interest Rate Agreement remains
unpaid.

                                       3
<PAGE>

         Section 7. Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for
payment of any amount payable by the Borrower under any Financing Document or
Designated Interest Rate Agreement is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization of the Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to
acceleration under the terms of such Financing Document or Designated Interest
Rate Agreement shall nonetheless be payable by Vencor hereunder forthwith on
demand by the Administrative Agent made, in the case of any Loans, at the
request of the Required Lenders or, in the case of obligations under a
Designated Interest Rate Agreement, at the request of the relevant Interest
Hedge Counterparty.

         Section 8. Notices.  Notices and other communications hereunder shall
be given in writing in the manner specified in or pursuant to Section 11.01 of
the Credit Agreement.

         Section 9. GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. THIS GUARANTY
AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL
OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK), WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS
PRINCIPLES.

         Section 10. Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty Agreement is for the
benefit of the Lender Parties and the Interest Hedge Counterparties and their
respective successors and assigns. If any Loans, participations in Letters of
Credit, Notes or other amounts payable under the Financing Documents are
assigned pursuant to Section 10.06 or 11.06(c) of the Credit Agreement, the
rights hereunder, to the extent applicable to the indebtedness so assigned,
shall be transferred with such indebtedness.

         Section 11. No Waiver. No failure or delay by any Lender Party or
Interest Hedge Counterparty in exercising any right, power or privilege under
any Financing Document or Designated Interest Rate Agreement shall operate as a
waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or
privilege. The rights and remedies provided in the Financing Documents and
Designated Interest Rate Agreements shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any
rights or remedies provided by law.

         Section 12. Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Guaranty
Agreement may be amended, supplemented, modified or waived as (and only as)
provided in Section 11.05 of the Credit Agreement.

covenant or any breach of any representation or warranty set forth in any Second
Priority Financing Document, then, in each such event, the Second Priority
Collateral Agent shall promptly advise the Senior Collateral Agent of the matter
or thing as to which consent has been requested or the performance or instrument
required to be delivered or the nonperformance or breach of which the Second

Agent and the Required Senior Lenders shall have the exclusive authority to
direct the Second Priority Collateral Agent's response to any of the events or
circumstances contemplated in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above.

Lenders.

         (b) The Senior Collateral Agent will give the Second Priority

Representative of its intention to do so but without notice to any other Secured
Party; provided that the Second Priority Collateral Agent shall not be entitled
to make any such advance unless (a) it shall have given at least two days' prior
notice to the Senior Collateral Agent of its intention to do so and (b) the
Senior Collateral Agent shall not have objected during such two day period to
the Second Priority Collateral Agent

                                       8

Priority Collateral Agent during such two day period). Each such advance shall
be reimbursed, with interest accrued from the date such advance was made at the
Default Rate, by the Borrower upon demand by the Senior Collateral Agent or the
Second Priority Collateral Agent, and if the Borrower fails to comply with any
such demand, out of the proceeds of any Collateral in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3.01. If any Secured Party shall receive any funds which,
under this Section 2.04, belong to the Senior Collateral Agent or the Second
Priority Collateral Agent, such Secured Party shall remit such funds promptly to
the Senior Collateral Agent or the Second Priority Collateral Agent for
distribution to itself, and before such remittance shall hold such funds in
trust for the Senior Collateral Agent or the Second Priority Collateral Agent,

Group pursuant to this Agreement.

               thereon at the Default Rate), pro rata based on the amounts so
               advanced;

               THIRD: until the Senior Obligation Payment Date, to the Senior
               Collateral Agent, for distribution to the Senior Secured Parties

               Priority Collateral Agent towards the payment of any other costs,
               expenses or amounts payable pursuant to clause first of Section

               SIXTH: after payment in full of all Secured Obligations, to the
               Borrower and the Guarantors or their successors or assigns, as
               their interests may appear, or to whosoever may be lawfully
               entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent
               jurisdiction may direct.

         Section 3.02. Payment Provisions. For the purposes of applying the

or any Restricted Subsidiary are to be deposited into a Collateral Account
pursuant to Section 2.11(a) of the Senior Credit Agreement or Section 2.06(a) of
the Second Priority Credit Agreement, such Net Cash Proceeds or Casualty

set forth in Section 2.11(c) of the Senior Credit Agreement and, without
duplication, second as set forth in Section 2.06(c) of the Second Priority
Credit Agreement. Following the occurrence of the Senior Obligation Payment
Date, such cash payment shall be applied as set forth in Section 2.06(c) of the
Second Priority Credit Agreement.

         (d) Each prepayment of loans required pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Section will be made together with accrued interest to the
date of prepayment and any applicable premium in accordance with the terms of
the applicable Financing Document but such interest and premium, if any, shall

                                      11
<PAGE>

reduce the amount of principal required to be prepaid in accordance with this

Obligations are expressly junior in priority, operation and effect to any and
all security interests, assignments, pledges, mortgages, deeds of trusts, deeds
to secure debt and other liens, charges or encumbrances now existing or
hereafter created or arising in favor of the Senior Collateral Agent for the

extended or amended from time to time, and the aggregate amount of the Senior
Obligations may be increased, replaced or refinanced, all in accordance with

thereof, nor by any action that the Senior Secured Parties or the Second
Priority Secured Parties may take or fail to take in respect of the Collateral
in accordance with this Agreement.

         (c) For purposes of perfecting the Second Priority Lien in the
Collateral and the proceeds thereof, the Borrower and Vencor, on behalf of
themselves and the Subsidiary Guarantors, and the Senior Collateral Agent hereby
acknowledge that UCC-1 financing statements, patent/trademark/copyright filings
and mortgages or other filings or recordings covering the Collateral, naming the
Borrower and one or more Guarantors as debtor, and the Second Priority
Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Second Priority Secured Parties, as secured
party, may be filed in appropriate public offices from time to time.

                (i) The Second Priority Collateral Agent and each Second
         Priority Secured Party agrees that all UCC-1 financing statements,
         patent/trademark/copyright filings (except as provided in clause (ii)
         below) or other filings or recordings filed or recorded by or on behalf
         of the Second Priority Secured Parties shall be in form satisfactory to
         the Senior Collateral Agent and shall contain the following notation
         (or other notation substantially similar thereto): "The interest of the
         Secured Party in the collateral described herein is junior and
         subordinate to the interests of Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New

         secured parties, including the lenders from time to time party to that
         certain $120,000,000 Credit Agreement dated as of April 20, 2001, as

         Healthcare, Inc.) in accordance with the provisions of that certain
         Subordination and Intercreditor

         Agreement dated as of April 20, 2001, among Vencor Operating Inc. (to
         be renamed Kindred Healthcare Operating, Inc.) and Vencor, Inc. (to be
         renamed Kindred Healthcare, Inc.), and Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of
         New York, as Second Priority Collateral Agent and as Senior Collateral
         Agent, as amended from time to time."

                (ii)   In addition, the Second Priority Collateral Agent and
         each Second Priority Secured Party agrees that all mortgages, deeds of
         trust, deeds to secure debt and similar instruments (collectively,
         "mortgages") now or hereafter filed against real and/or personal
         property pursuant to any Second Priority Collateral Document in favor
         of or for the benefit of the Second Priority Collateral Agent and/or
         the Second Priority Secured Parties shall be in form satisfactory to
         the Senior Collateral Agent and shall contain the following provision
         (or other provision substantially similar thereto): "Notwithstanding
         any provision to the contrary herein, the terms of this [Mortgage], the
         Liens created hereby, and the rights and remedies of the Mortgagee and
         the Secured Parties hereunder, are subject to the Intercreditor
         Agreement and subordinated as provided therein."

         (d) The Second Priority Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the
other Second Priority Secured Parties, hereby agrees:

                (i)    to subordinate the Second Priority Collateral Documents
         to any lease of any of the Mortgaged Properties to the same extent that
         the Senior Collateral Documents are or have been subordinated to such
         lease, but without affecting the relative priority of the Senior
         Collateral Documents and the Second Priority Collateral Documents,

                (ii)   to grant nondisturbance rights with respect to any lease
         of any of the Mortgaged Properties with respect to which the Senior
         Collateral Agent has granted nondisturbance on substantially the same
         terms as granted by the Senior Collateral Agent,

                (iii)  that if all or any portion of a Mortgaged Property is a
         leasehold interest, (A) upon termination of any lease creating such
         leasehold interest (the "Original Lease"), any right of the Second
         Priority Collateral Agent to request a "new lease" pursuant to the
         terms of the Original Lease shall be junior and subordinate to the
         right of the Senior Collateral Agent to request such a new lease and
         the Second Priority Collateral Agent shall not exercise any such right
         without the prior written consent of the Senior Collateral Agent, (B)
         the Second Priority Collateral Agent shall waive, surrender and give up
         any right either the Second Priority Collateral Agent or the Second
         Priority Secured Parties may have

                                      14
<PAGE>

         to redeem the premises demised by the Original Lease or to continue the
         Original Lease for its original term after the lessee thereunder has
         been dispossessed or ejected therefrom by process of law or otherwise
         and (C) the Senior Lien and the Second Priority Lien shall remain in
         force or be reinstated with the same relative priority that existed
         with respect to the Original Lease, and

               (iv) that if the holder or grantor of a Second Priority
         Collateral Document pays or discharges any liens prior in right to the
         lien created by the Senior Collateral Documents with funds provided by
         the Second Priority Collateral Agent or any Second Priority Secured
         Party, neither the Second Priority Collateral Agent nor any Second
         Priority Secured Party shall acquire, by subrogation or otherwise, any
         claim superior or equivalent to the lien of the Senior Collateral
         Documents so long as any indebtedness secured by the Senior Collateral
         Documents remains outstanding.

         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Senior Mortgages, the
Senior Collateral Agent and the Senior Secured Parties hereby consent to the
assignment of leases and rents to the Second Priority Collateral Agent for the
Second Priority Secured Parties contained in the Second Priority Mortgages for
the purpose of securing and discharging the performance by the Borrower and the
Guarantors party thereto, provided however, that such assignment is subject to
the terms of this Agreement. The Senior Collateral Agent and the Senior Secured
Parties agree that the terms of each Senior Mortgage and the rights and remedies
of the parties thereto are subject to this Agreement. The Second Priority
Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Secured Parties agree that the terms of
each Second Priority Mortgage and the rights and remedies of the parties thereto
are subject to this Agreement and subordinated as provided herein.

         (e) The Second Priority Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the
other Second Priority Secured Parties, acknowledges and agrees with the Senior
Collateral Agent and the Senior Secured Parties that the arrangements described
in clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d) above are solely for the purpose of providing
the Second Priority Secured Parties with a perfected second priority Lien in the
Collateral under the Second Priority Collateral Documents and shall in no way be
construed as imposing any duties or other obligations on the Senior Collateral
Agent other than to transfer to the Second Priority Collateral Agent in
accordance with the Financing Documents (or as a court of competent jurisdiction
may otherwise direct) the proceeds, if any, that remain following a sale,
transfer or other disposition of the Collateral and the occurrence of the Senior
Obligation Payment Date or, if the Senior Collateral Agent shall still be in
possession of all or any part of such Collateral after the Senior Obligation
Payment Date, such

                                      15
<PAGE>

Collateral or such part thereof remaining, without representation or warranty on
the part of the Senior Collateral Agent or the Senior Secured Parties.

         In furtherance of the foregoing, the Second Priority Collateral Agent
and the Second Priority Secured Parties acknowledge and agree with the Senior
Secured Parties that, at all times following a Triggering Event until the Senior
Obligation Payment Date, the Senior Collateral Agent shall have the right to
sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of or deal with the Collateral as provided
in the Senior Collateral Documents without regard to the security interest of
the Second Priority Secured Parties therein, or any rights to which the Second
Priority Secured Parties would otherwise be entitled as a result of such
security interest, the only obligation of the Senior Collateral Agent to the
Second Priority Secured Parties in respect thereof being to deliver to the
Second Priority Collateral Agent (unless otherwise directed in writing by the
Second Priority Collateral Agent or by a court of competent jurisdiction) any
proceeds remaining from such sale, transfer or other disposition of such
Collateral after the Senior Obligation Payment Date or, if the Senior Collateral
Agent shall still be in possession of all or any part of such Collateral after
such payment and satisfaction in full, such Collateral or such part thereof
remaining, without representation or warranty on the part of the Senior
Collateral Agent or the Senior Secured Parties, provided that nothing contained
in this sentence shall be construed to give rise to, nor shall the Second
Priority Collateral Agent or the Second Priority Secured Parties have, any
claims whatsoever against the Senior Collateral Agent or any Senior Secured
Party on account of any act or omission to act in connection with the exercise
of any right or remedy of the Senior Collateral Agent with respect to the
Collateral that is permitted by the Collateral Documents (other than with
respect to any claims that may arise as a result of the failure of the Senior
Collateral Agent, after the Senior Obligation Payment Date, to deliver any such
remaining Collateral or proceeds to the Second Priority Collateral Agent). The
Second Priority Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second
Priority Secured Parties, agrees that it shall not, and shall not attempt to,
exercise any rights with respect to (A) the Senior Lien in the Collateral or (B)
the Second Priority Lien in the Collateral, whether pursuant to the Second
Priority Collateral Documents or otherwise, until the Senior Obligation Payment
Date; provided that nothing in this sentence (or elsewhere in the Agreement)
shall preclude (x) exercise of the rights expressly reserved to the Second
Priority Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Secured Parties in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement or (y) the enforcement of this Agreement.

         (f) In any Bankruptcy Proceeding, until the Senior Obligation Payment
Date, the Second Priority Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other
Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees not to take any action whatsoever
(including, without limitation, voting any claim) in respect of or relating to
the

                                      16
<PAGE>

Second Priority Obligations, insofar as any such action arises from or relates
to the Second Priority Collateral Documents, the Second Priority Lien or relates
to the Collateral, in any manner that is inconsistent with or adverse to the
rights and priorities of the Senior Secured Parties as set forth herein.

         (g) In the event that in any Bankruptcy Proceeding, the Second
Priority Secured Parties shall not have filed a proof of claim in respect of any
Second Priority Obligation by the date ten days prior to the latest date on
which such proof of claim may be filed, the Senior Collateral Agent is hereby
authorized but not obligated, on behalf of any applicable Second Priority
Secured Party, to file such proof of claim; provided that the Second Priority
Secured Parties shall be entitled to amend, vote or otherwise exercise rights in
respect of any such proof of claim so filed by the Senior Collateral Agent to
the same extent as they would be permitted under this Agreement to do so had
such proof of claim been filed by them.

         Section 4.02. No Interference; No Right to Instruct Senior Collateral
Agent; Payment Over; Reinstatment; Permitted Actions. (a) The Second Priority
Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured
Parties, agrees that:

               (i)   it will not take or cause to be taken any action, the
         purpose or effect of which is to make any Second Priority Lien pari
         passu with, or to give any Second Priority Secured Party any preference
         or priority relative to, the Senior Lien or the Senior Secured Parties
         with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof,

               (ii)  it will not interfere with, hinder or delay, in any manner,
         whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, any sale, transfer or
         other disposition of the Collateral by the Senior Collateral Agent or
         any other Senior Secured Party or any other action taken by or on
         behalf of the Senior Collateral Agent or any Senior Secured Party
         permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the Senior Collateral
         Documents,

               (iii) it has no right to (A) direct the Senior Collateral Agent
         or any other Senior Secured Party to exercise any right, remedy or
         power with respect to the Collateral or pursuant to the Senior
         Collateral Documents or (B) consent to the exercise by the Senior
         Collateral Agent or any other Senior Secured Party of any right, remedy
         or power with respect to the Collateral or pursuant to the Senior
         Collateral Documents,

               (iv)  it will not institute or assert in any suit, Bankruptcy
         Proceeding or other proceeding any claim against the Senior Collateral

                                      17
<PAGE>

         Agent or any other Senior Secured Party seeking damages from or other
         relief by way of specific performance, instructions or otherwise, with
         respect to, and none of the Senior Collateral Agent nor any other
         Senior Secured Party shall be liable for, any action taken or omitted
         to be taken by the Senior Collateral Agent or the Senior Secured
         Parties with respect to the Collateral or pursuant to the Senior
         Collateral Documents,

               (v)  until the Senior Obligation Payment Date, it will not make
         any judicial or nonjudicial claim or demand or commence any judicial or
         non-judicial proceedings against the Borrower or any Guarantor under or
         with respect to any Collateral Document seeking payment or damages from
         or other relief by way of specific performance, instructions or
         otherwise under or with respect to any Collateral Document (other than
         filing a proof of claim) or exercise any right, remedy or power under
         or with respect to, or otherwise take any action to enforce, other than
         filing a proof of claim, any Collateral Document; provided, however,
         that (A) if there is a Bankruptcy Proceeding with respect to the
         Borrower, the Second Priority Collateral Agent or any Second Priority
         Secured Party may make claims under and seek to enforce any Second
         Priority Guaranty Agreement, subject to the subordination provisions
         thereof and to the other provisions of this Agreement and (B) none of
         the Second Priority Collateral Agent or any other Second Priority
         Secured Party may exercise any right, remedy or power under or with
         respect to any other Second Priority Collateral Document, or otherwise
         take any action to enforce rights or remedies with respect to any
         Collateral,

               (vi) until the Senior Obligation Payment Date, it will not
         commence judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings with respect
         to, seek to have a trustee, receiver, liquidator or similar official
         appointed for or over, attempt any action to take possession of any
         Collateral, exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to, or
         otherwise take any action to enforce its interest in or realize upon,
         the Collateral or pursuant to the Second Priority Collateral Documents;
         provided that nothing in this paragraph (or elsewhere in this
         Agreement) shall restrict the right of the Second Priority Collateral
         Agent or any other Second Priority Secured Party to request "adequate
         protection" (within the meaning of Section 361 of the Bankruptcy Code)
         for the interests of the Second Priority Secured Parties in the Second
         Priority Collateral in the event of any Bankruptcy Proceeding on a
         basis that is not inconsistent with the rights and priorities of the
         Senior Secured Parties as set forth herein and in the Financing
         Documents,

                                      18
<PAGE>

               (vii)  it will not seek, and hereby waives any right, to have the
         Collateral or any part thereof marshaled upon any foreclosure or other
         disposition of the Collateral, and

               (viii) it will not attempt, directly or indirectly, whether by
         judicial proceedings or otherwise, to challenge the enforceability of
         any provision of this Agreement or any Senior Financing Document or the
         validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Senior Lien.

         (b)   The Second Priority Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the
other Second Priority Secured Parties, hereby agrees that, in the event of a
sale, transfer or other disposition of Collateral following a Triggering Event,
any security interest or lien of the Second Priority Secured Parties in such
Collateral (but not the proceeds thereof to the extent that such proceeds are to
be applied to Second Priority Obligations pursuant to Section 3.01) shall
terminate and be released automatically and without further action if the Senior
Lien in such Collateral is released. The Second Priority Collateral Agent will
execute and deliver to the Senior Collateral Agent promptly upon request
therefor all necessary instruments and documents to evidence such termination
and release.

         (c)   Except with respect to proceeds of any sale or other realization
on Collateral (i) payable prior to the occurrence of a Triggering Event to the
Second Priority Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Second Priority Secured
Parties pursuant to Section 3.03 or (ii) received by the Second Priority
Collateral Agent pursuant to distributions made by the Senior Collateral Agent
after the occurrence of a Triggering Event under Section 3.01, the Second
Priority Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority
Secured Parties, hereby agrees that if it shall obtain possession of any of the
Collateral, or shall realize any payment of insurance (including any payment on
any lender's title insurance policy with respect to the Mortgaged Properties) or
condemnation proceeds, proceeds of any sale or other disposition, rents, profits
or other income, reserve or compensation of any kind in respect of the
Collateral, in any case before the Senior Obligation Payment Date, then it shall
hold such Collateral or payment in trust for the Senior Secured Parties and
transfer such Collateral or payment, as the case may be, to the Senior
Collateral Agent for application in accordance with the provisions of Section
3.01. If, at any time, all or part of any payment with respect to the Senior
Obligations previously made is rescinded for any reason whatsoever, (i) the
Second Priority Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Secured Parties shall
promptly pay over to the Senior Collateral Agent any payment received by any of
them after the occurrence of a Triggering Event in respect of the Collateral or
proceeds thereof, and shall promptly turn any Collateral then held by any of
them over to the Senior Collateral Agent, in each case to the extent that the
Second Priority Secured Parties would not have been entitled to receive or hold
such

                                      19
<PAGE>

payment or Collateral pursuant to the terms of this Agreement had the rescinded
payment in respect of the Senior Obligations never been made in the first
instance and (ii) the provisions set forth in this Agreement shall be reinstated
as if such rescinded payment had not been made, until the Senior Obligation
Payment Date; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not require the Second
Priority Secured Parties to pay over to the Senior Collateral Agent any payment
received by them or Collateral delivered to them if such payment or delivery is
itself rescinded for any reason (and any such payment or Collateral theretofore
paid over to the Senior Secured Parties pursuant to the foregoing provisions
shall be released and delivered to the appropriate Person to the extent
necessary to effect such rescission.)

         (d) With respect to proceeds of any sale or other realization on
Collateral to the extent payable to the Second Priority Collateral Agent for the
benefit of the Second Priority Secured Parties pursuant to Section 3.01, the
Senior Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Senior Secured
Parties, hereby agrees that if any of them shall obtain possession of any of
such proceeds before the time when the Second Priority Obligations have been
paid in full, then it shall hold such proceeds in trust for the holders of the
Second Priority Obligations and transfer such proceeds to the Second Priority
Collateral Agent.

                                   ARTICLE 5
           Amendments of Documents; Limitations on Facility Amounts

         Section 5.01. Amendments and Modifications of Second Priority Financing
Documents. (a) Unless the Required Senior Lenders have consented thereto in
writing, the Borrower shall not, Vencor shall not, the Borrower shall not permit
any Restricted Subsidiary to, and no Second Priority Secured Party shall,
consent to or solicit any amendment or supplement to, or any waiver or other
modification of any Second Priority Financing Document if the effect thereof
would be to (i) increase the amount, or accelerate the date of payment, of any
obligation of the Borrower or any Guarantor thereunder or (ii) modify or alter
in any respect the terms of the subordination provisions set forth therein
(including without limitation, in Article 11 and Section 12.05(g) of the Second
Priority Credit Agreement) or impair in any way the rights and benefits of the
Senior Secured Parties thereunder.

         Section 5.02. Limitation on Senior Credit Agreement. None of the
Borrower, Vencor or the Senior Secured Parties will amend or modify, or consent
to any amendment or modification of, the Senior Credit Agreement if the effect
thereof would be to increase the principal amount or commitments thereunder to

                                      20
<PAGE>

an amount in excess of $120,000,000 less any amounts up to an aggregate of
$45,000,000 by which the commitments under the Senior Credit Agreement have been
permanently reduced; provided that any amounts owing by the Borrower or any
Guarantor under any Designated Interest Rate Agreement (as defined in the Senior
Credit Agreement) shall be excluded form the calculation of the foregoing
amounts.

                                   ARTICLE 6
              Release of Collateral; Expiration of Certain Rights

         Section 6.01. Releases of Collateral. At any time during which no
Triggering Event has occurred and is continuing:

         (a) If (i) any Collateral is to be disposed of in a disposition that
is specifically permitted by the Financing Documents, (ii) the Borrower delivers
a certificate to such effect to the Second Priority Collateral Agent and the
Senior Collateral Agent at least three Business Days before the date of the
requested release, and (iii) neither the Senior Collateral Agent nor the Second
Priority Collateral Agent objects before the date of the requested release that
such disposition is prohibited by the Senior Financing Documents or the Second
Priority Financing Documents, as the case may be, then the Liens in favor of the
Secured Parties under the Collateral Documents with respect to such Collateral
(but, except in the case of the Kingfish Transaction, not the proceeds thereof)
will be released automatically upon consummation of such disposition, without
the need for any consent or approval by any other Secured Party, and the Second
Priority Collateral Agent and the Senior Collateral Agent, at the expense of the
Borrower, shall execute such documents as are reasonably necessary to effectuate
such release. No such release shall require any consent or approval by any other
Secured Party.

         (b) The Lien of any Senior Collateral Document may, at any time, be
released in whole or in part by the Senior Collateral Agent pursuant to written
directions signed by the Required Senior Lenders (or the Senior Collateral Agent
on behalf of the Required Senior Lenders), and the Lien of any Second Priority
Collateral Document may, at any time, be released in whole or in part by the
Second Priority Collateral Agent pursuant to written directions signed by the
Required Second Priority Lenders (or the Second Priority Collateral Agent on
behalf of the Required Second Priority Lenders); provided that the release of
all or substantially all of the Collateral shall require the written consent of
all Secured Parties. Except as aforesaid, no such release shall require any
consent or approval by any other Secured Party.

amendment, supplement or waiver (i) which increases the obligations or reduces

Vencor, (ii) which increases the obligations or reduces the rights of the Senior
Collateral Agent, with the consent of the Senior Collateral Agent and (iii)

To the Swingline Bank, the LC Issuing Bank,
The Lenders and the Agents referred to below
c/o Morgan Guaranty Trust Company
 of New York
 as Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent
 60 Wall Street
 New York, NY 10260

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     In my capacity as general counsel of Vencor, Inc. (to be renamed Kindred
Healthcare, Inc.), a Delaware corporation ("Vencor"), I have acted as general
counsel of each of the Persons listed on Annex A hereto (the "Covered
Companies") in connection with (i) the Credit Agreement dated as of April ___,
2001 (the "Credit Agreement") among Vencor Operating, Inc. (to be renamed
Kindred Healthcare Operating, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (the "Borrower"),
Vencor, the Swingline Bank, the LC Issuing Bank and the Lenders party thereto
(the "Lenders"), Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, as Collateral Agent
and Administrative Agent, and General Electric Capital Corporation, as
Documentation and Collateral Monitoring Agent, and the other Financing Documents
referred to therein and (ii) the Master Lease Agreements referred to therein.
This opinion is being rendered to you pursuant to Section 3.01(r)(i)(A) of the
Credit Agreement.

     Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms defined in the Credit
Agreement or the Security Agreement are used herein as defined therein.

     I, or attorneys in the legal department of Vencor under my direction, have
examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to my
satisfaction, of each of the agreements listed on Annex B hereto (the "Covered
Financing Documents"), the Master Lease Agreements and such other documents,
corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments, and
have conducted such other investigations of fact and law, as I have deemed
necessary or advisable for purposes of this opinion.

     Upon the basis of the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:

     1. Each Covered Company has been incorporated or organized and is existing
in good standing as a corporation, limited liability company or partnership
under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization, with power
and authority (corporate and other) to own its properties and conduct its
business as contemplated by the Plan of Reorganization.

     2. Each Covered Company has been qualified as a foreign corporation,
limited liability company or partnership for the transaction of business and is
in good standing under the
<PAGE>

                                    2                       _______________,2001

laws of each other jurisdiction in which it owns or leases properties, or
conducts any business, so as to require such qualification, except where
failures to be so qualified would not, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse
Effect.

     3. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock pledged under the
Security Agreement have been duly and validly authorized and issued, are fully
paid and non-assessable, and are owned directly or indirectly by the applicable
Lien Grantor as set forth in the Security Agreement, free and clear of all
Liens, equities or claims, except the Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent and
the Senior Secured Collateral Agent.

     4. To the best of my knowledge after due inquiry, upon consummation by the
Covered Companies of the transactions contemplated on the Effective Date, no
Covered Company is, or with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both would
be, in violation of or in default under (a) its Organizational Documents, (b)
any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or loan agreement, (c) any lease or other
agreement or instrument known to me after due inquiry to which any Covered
Company is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound or (d) the
Plan of Reorganization, except for violations and defaults which in the
aggregate would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

     5. To the best of my knowledge after due inquiry, the execution and
delivery by each Covered Company and its performance of its obligations under
the Covered Financing Documents and the Master Lease Agreements to which it is a
party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated therein will not:

               (a) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or
          provisions of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage,
          deed of trust, loan agreement, lease or other agreement or instrument
          known to me after due inquiry to which any Covered Company is a party
          or by which any Covered Company is bound or result in the creation or
          imposition of any Lien upon any property or assets of any Covered
          Company;

               (b) result in any violation of the provisions of the
          Organizational Documents of any Covered Company, the Plan of
          Reorganization or any applicable law or statute or any order, rule or
          regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having
          jurisdiction over any Covered Company or any of its properties; or

               (c) require any action by or in respect of, or filing with, any
          governmental body, agency or official, except (i) filings of Uniform
          Commercial Code financing statements (as in effect in the State of
          California) delivered to the Collateral Agent on or before the date
          hereof for filing promptly after the date hereof, (ii) Intellectual
          Property Filings, (iii) the due recordation of memoranda of lease with
          respect to the Master Lease Agreements and any assignment thereof to
          the Borrower, (iv) the due recordation of the Leasehold Mortgages, (v)
          the due recordation of the Fee Mortgages, (vi) any other filings
          required after the date hereof pursuant to Section 5.08 of the Credit
          Agreement, (vii) such other actions or filings as have been taken or
          made before the date hereof and are in full force
<PAGE>

                                       3                        ___________,2001

          and effect on the date hereof and (viii) filings of Uniform Commercial
          Code continuation statements when required,

     except for such conflicts, breaches, defaults, Liens and violations which
     in the aggregate would not be material to the Covered Companies, taken as a
     whole, and would not otherwise have a Material Adverse Effect.

     6.   Except as set forth in Schedule 8 to the Credit Agreement, there are
no legal or governmental investigations, actions, suits or proceedings pending
or, to the best of my knowledge, threatened against or affecting any Covered
Company or any of its properties or to which any Covered Company is or may be a
party or to which any property of any Covered Company is or may be the subject
which, if determined adversely to any Covered Company, could in the aggregate
have, or reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect; and, to the
best of my knowledge, no such proceedings are threatened or contemplated by
governmental authorities or threatened by others.

     7.   Each Covered Company owns, possesses or has obtained all licenses,
permits, certificates, consents, orders, approvals and other authorizations
from, and has made all declarations and filings with, all Federal, state, local
and other governmental authorities, all self-regulatory organizations and all
courts and other tribunals, domestic or foreign, necessary to own or lease, as
the case may be, and to operate its properties and to carry on its business as
conducted as of the date hereof, except where failures to own, possess or obtain
any such licenses, permits, certificates, consents, orders, approvals or other
authorizations would not have, and could not reasonably be expected to have, in
the aggregate a Material Adverse Effect; no Covered Company has received any
notice of any proceeding relating to revocation or modification of any such
license, permit, certificate, consent, order, approval or other authorization,
except where such revocations or modifications would not have, and could not
reasonably be expected to have, in the aggregate a Material Adverse Effect; and
each Covered Company is in compliance with all laws and regulations relating to
the conduct of its business except where such noncompliance would not have, and
could not reasonably be expected to have, in the aggregate a Material Adverse
Effect.

     8.   The chief executive office of each Covered Company for purposes of
     KRS 355.9-103(3)(d) is 680 South Fourth Avenue, Louisville, Kentucky 40202.

     9.   Each Covered Financing Document and Master Lease Agreement has been
duly authorized, executed and delivered by each Covered Company party thereto.

     10.  Each Covered Financing Document and Master Lease Agreement constitutes
a valid and legally binding obligation of each Covered Company party thereto,
enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency,
fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general
applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general equity
principles.

     I am a member of the bar of the State of California.  The foregoing
opinions (with the exception of paragraphs (1) and (2), above) are limited to
the Federal laws of the United States, and the laws of the States of California
and New York and the General Corporation Law of the

State of Delaware and I am expressing no opinion as to the effect of laws of any
other jurisdiction. In rendering the foregoing opinions, I have relied (A) as to
matters involving the application of laws of the State of New York, upon the
opinion of Cleary, Gottlieb, Steen & Hamilton, dated and delivered to you today,
and (B) as to matters of fact, on certificates of responsible officers of the
Borrower and Vencor and information obtained from public officials and other
sources believed by me to be responsible. With respect to the opinions expressed
in paragraph (1) above, I have relied upon certificates of good standing issued
by the Secretary of State of the respective jurisdiction of incorporation of
each Covered Company. In addition, I have assumed that the Covered Documents
have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by all parties thereto other
than the Covered Companies parties thereto.

c/o Morgan Guaranty Trust Company

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     This opinion is being rendered to you in my capacity as Vice President of
Corporate Legal Affairs and Corporate Secretary of Vencor, Inc. (to be renamed
Kindred Healthcare, Inc.), a Delaware corporation ("Vencor"), in connection with
(i) the Credit Agreement dated as of April ___, 2001 (the "Credit Agreement")
among Vencor Operating, Inc. (to be renamed Kindred Healthcare Operating, Inc.),
a Delaware corporation (the "Borrower"), Vencor, the Swingline Bank, the LC
Issuing Bank and the Lenders party thereto (the "Lenders"), Morgan Guaranty
Trust Company of New York, as Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent, and
General Electric Capital Corporation, as Documentation and Collateral Monitoring
Agent, and the other Financing Documents referred to therein and (ii) the Master
Lease Agreements referred to therein.  This opinion is being issued to you
pursuant to Section 3.01(r)(i)(B) of the Credit Agreement.

     Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms defined in the Credit
Agreement or the Security Agreement are used herein as defined therein.

     I have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to
my satisfaction, of each of the agreements listed on Annex A hereto (the
"Covered Financing Documents"), the Master Lease Agreements and such other
documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other
instruments, and have conducted such other investigations of fact and law, as I
have deemed necessary or advisable for purposes of this opinion.

     Upon the basis of the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:

     1.  To the best of my knowledge after due inquiry, the execution and
delivery by each of the Persons listed on Annex B hereto (each, a "Covered
Company") and its performance of its obligations under the Covered Financing
Documents and the Master Lease Agreements to which it is a party and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated therein will not require any
action by or in respect of, or filing with, any governmental body, agency or
official, except (i) filings of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements (as
in effect in the Commonwealth of Kentucky) delivered to the Collateral Agent on
or before the date hereof for filing promptly after the date hereof, (ii)
Intellectual Property Filings, (iii) the due recordation of memoranda of lease
<PAGE>

                                       2

with respect to the Master Lease Agreements and any assignment thereof to the
Borrower, (iv) the due recordation of the Leasehold Mortgages, (v) the due
recordation of the Fee Mortgages, (vi) any other filings required after the date
hereof pursuant to Section 5.08 of the Credit Agreement, (vii) such other
actions or filings as have been taken or made before the date hereof and are in
full force and effect on the date hereof and (viii) filings of Uniform
Commercial Code continuation statements when required.

     2.  The financing statements attached hereto as Annex C are in appropriate
                                                     -------
form for filing with the Secretary of State and the Jefferson County Clerk of
the Commonwealth of Kentucky. To the extent that a security interest in the
Personal Property Collateral may be perfected by the filing of a financing
statement in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, the security interest in the Personal
Property Collateral will be perfected upon the filing of such financing
statements with the Secretary of State and the Jefferson County Clerk of the
Commonwealth of Kentucky, and no further filing or recording of any document or
instrument or other action will be required so to perfect such security
interest, except that (i) continuation statements with respect to each such
financing statement must be filed within five years after the date of filing of
such financing statements and (ii) additional filings may be necessary if any
Lien Grantor changes its name, identity or corporate structure or the
jurisdiction in which its places of business, its chief executive office or its
Personal Property Collateral are located.

     I am a member of the bar of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.  The foregoing
opinions are limited to the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky and I am
expressing no opinion as to the effect of laws of any other jurisdiction.

the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies. In addition, we have
assumed and have not verified the accuracy as to factual matters of each
document we have reviewed (including, without limitation, the accuracy of the
representations and warranties of the Company and Vencor in the Credit
Agreement).

          Based upon the foregoing and subject to further assumptions and
qualifications set forth below, it is our opinion that:

          1. Each Covered Document has been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by all necessary corporate action of each Domestic Covered Company
party thereto and has been duly executed and delivered under the laws of the
State of New York by each Covered Company other than a Domestic Covered Company
(each such Covered Company, a "Foreign Covered Company").

          2. Each Covered Financing Document constitutes a valid and binding
obligation of each Covered Company party thereto, enforceable in accordance with
its terms, provided that we express no opinion with respect to any provision
under any Covered Financing Document which under the terms of such Covered
Financing Document is governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than the
State of New York.

          3. The execution and delivery of (i) the Covered Financing Documents
by each Covered Company party thereto and its performance of its obligations
thereunder, and (ii) the Covered Fee Mortgages and the Covered Leasehold
Mortgages by each Covered Company party thereto, and, in the case of clauses (i)
and (ii), the consummation of the transactions contemplated in each such Covered
Document at the time and in the manner therein contemplated, comply with the
requirements of, and are authorized by, the Plan of Reorganization, and will not
conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or
constitute a default under any Covered Financing Document, the Senior Secured
Credit Agreement or the Plan of Reorganization.

          4. The execution and delivery by each Covered Company and its
performance of its obligations under the Covered Documents to which it is a
party do not require any approval, consent, authorization or other action by, or
filing, recording or registration with, any governmental authority of the State
of New York, except (i) filings of Uniform Commercial Code (as in effect in the
State of New York, the "UCC") financing statements delivered to the Collateral
Agent on or before the date hereof for filing promptly after the date hereof,
(ii) Intellectual Property Filings, (iii) any other filings required after the
date hereof pursuant to Section 5.08 of the Credit Agreement, (iv) filings of
UCC continuation statements when required, and (v) such other consents,
authorizations, approvals or filings, if any, as may be required in connection
with the performance of the Covered Documents due to the specific nature or
scope of any particular business or activity conducted, or asset held, by a
Covered Company.

          5. No Covered Company is, or after giving effect to the transactions
contemplated by the Covered Documents will be, (i) an "investment company" or a
company "controlled" by an "investment company" within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (ii) a "holding company" or an
"affiliate" of a "holding company" or a "subsidiary company" of a "holding
company", within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935,
as amended, or (iii) otherwise subject to any regulatory scheme under the
Federal laws of the United States or under the laws of the State of New York
which restricts its ability to incur Debt under the Credit Agreement.

          6. The provisions of the Security Agreement are effective to create,
in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a valid
security interest in all Personal Property Collateral that is subject to Article
8 or 9 of the UCC of each Lien Grantor, as security for the Secured Obligations
of such Lien Grantor, except that the Security Agreement will create such
security interest in Personal Property Collateral in which such Lien Grantor has
no present rights only when such Lien Grantor acquires rights therein.

          7. Assuming that the Secured Parties have no notice of any adverse
claim (as defined in the UCC) to any of the collateral described below, and no
notice that any Instruments are overdue or have been dishonored or of any
defense against or claim to such Instrument on the part of any Person, the
Security Agreement, together with possession and retention in the State of New
York by the Collateral Agent of (i) certificated securities under Article 8 of
the UCC constituting Pledged Equity Interests, and (ii) Instruments constituting
Pledged Instruments, in each case will create, together with related duly
executed and completed blank endorsements thereof, as of the effective date of
such pledge, a valid and perfected security interest under the UCC in such
Pledged Equity Interests or Pledged Instruments, as the case may be, in favor of
the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and such security
interest will have priority over all other security interests created under the
UCC in such Pledged Equity Interests and Pledged Instruments by the Covered
Company pledging such asset.

          8. The making of the Loans and Swingline Loans, the issuance of the
Letters of Credit and the use of proceeds thereof as contemplated by the Credit
Agreement do not violate Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System (the "Board").

          In rendering the opinions set forth in paragraph (2) above, we express
no opinion with respect to:

          (i) the validity, binding effect or enforceability of any provision in
the Security Agreement or any other Covered Document that purports to (A) impose
on the Collateral Agent or any other person standards for the care of Personal
Property Collateral in its possession other than as provided for in Section 9-
207 of the UCC, (B) permit the Collateral Agent or any other person to vote or
otherwise exercise any rights with respect to any of the Personal Property
Collateral absent compliance with the requirements of applicable laws and
regulations as to the voting of or other exercise of rights with respect to such
Personal Property Collateral, (C) waive, or consent to the absence of compliance
with, any rights of any Covered Company, or duties owing to it as a matter of
law, except to the extent that the Covered Company may so waive or

consent under applicable law, or (D) provide indemnification of any person to
the extent such provision covers or could be construed to cover losses or claims
under federal or state securities laws or to the extent inconsistent with public
policy;

          (ii)  other than as specifically set forth in paragraph (7) above, the
priority of any security interest in or to any of the Personal Property
Collateral or the perfection of any security interest in or to any of the
Personal Property Collateral; or

          (iii) the creation of the leasehold estate or provisions of the Master
Lease Agreements relating thereto or the remedies set forth in Article XVI of
the Master Lease
Agreements, which are governed by the laws of the state in which the relevant
leased property is located.

          Insofar as the foregoing opinions relate to the validity, binding
effect or enforceability of any agreement or obligation of any Covered Company
(a) we have assumed that each party to such an agreement or obligation has
satisfied those legal requirements that are applicable to it to the extent
necessary to make such agreement or obligation enforceable against it (except
that no such assumption is made as to (i) any Domestic Covered Company and (ii)
any Foreign Covered Company regarding matters of the federal law of the United
States of America or the law of the State of New York) and (b) such opinions are
subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting
creditors' rights generally and to general principles of equity.  In addition,
certain of the remedial provisions of the Covered Documents may be further
limited or rendered unenforceable by other applicable laws and judicially
adopted principles, which, however, in our judgment do not make the remedies
provided for therein (taken as a whole) inadequate for the practical realization
of the principal benefits purported to be afforded thereby (except for the
economic consequences of procedural or other delay).

          In rendering the opinion in paragraph 3 above, we have assumed that
all conditions precedent to the Effective Date have been satisfied as set forth
in the Plan of Reorganization.

          In rendering the opinion in paragraph 4 above, we have assumed that
the Covered Companies are subject only to New York State laws and regulations
generally applicable to companies doing business in the State of New York.

          In rendering the opinion in paragraph 7 above, we have assumed that as
of the date hereof and at any time an Instrument or a certificated security is
delivered to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the
relevant Lien Grantor will own Collateral represented by such Instrument or
certificated security free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance (and we
express no opinion with respect thereto). We express no opinion with respect to
the priority of the security interest of the Secured Parties against (i) any
lien, claim or other interest that arises by operation of law and is given
priority over perfected security interests, (ii) any lien or claim in favor of
the United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof (other than liens
arising under the federal or state tax laws or ERISA), and (iii) any claim given
priority pursuant to 31 U.S.C. (S)3713. In addition, insofar as the security
interest secures

p. 6

"future advances" within the meaning of the UCC, the priority of such security
interest will be subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 9-301(4) and
9-312(7) of the UCC.

          In rendering the opinion in paragraph 8 above, we have assumed that
none of the Lenders is a "creditor" within the meaning of Regulation T of the
Board.

          We express no opinion as to (i) Section 11.04 of the Credit Agreement
insofar as it provides that any holder of a participation in a Loan or LC
Reimbursement Obligation may exercise set-off or similar rights with respect to
such participation and (ii) the effect of the law of any jurisdiction other than
the State of New York wherein any Lender may be located or wherein enforcement
of the Credit Agreement, or any of the other Covered Financing Documents may be
sought that limits the rates of interest legally chargeable or collectible.

          With respect to the submission in any Covered Document to the
jurisdiction of a United States federal court sitting in the State of New York,
we express no opinion as to the subject matter jurisdiction of any such court to
adjudicate any action relating to the Covered Document where jurisdiction based
on diversity of citizenship under 28 U.S.C. (S)1332 does not exist.

          We note that the designation in any Covered Document of the U.S.
federal courts sitting in New York City as the venue for actions or proceedings
relating to such Covered Document is (notwithstanding the waiver contained in
any such Covered Document) subject to the power of such courts to transfer
actions pursuant to 28 U.S.C. (S)1404(a) or to dismiss such actions or
proceedings on the grounds that such a federal court is an inconvenient forum
for such an action or proceeding.

          The foregoing opinion is limited to the Federal laws of the United
States, and the laws of the State of New York and the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware, and we are expressing no opinion as to the effect of the
laws of any other jurisdiction.

              --------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          We have acted as Delaware bankruptcy counsel to (i) Vencor, Inc. (to
be renamed Kindred Healthcare, Inc.), a Delaware corporation ("Vencor"), and a
debtor and debtor-in-possession in a jointly administered bankruptcy case, Case
Nos. 3199-3327 (the "Case"), in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court"), pending under chapter 11 of the
United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code"), and (ii) the corporations listed on
Annex A attached hereto, in connection with the Credit Agreement, dated as of
April 20, 2001 (the "Credit Agreement"), among Vencor Operating, Inc. (to be
renamed Kindred Healthcare Operating, Inc.), a Delaware corporation, Vencor, the
Swingline Bank, LC Issuing Banks and the Lenders party thereto (collectively,
the "Lenders"), Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, as collateral agent
and administrative agent for the Lenders, and General Electric Capital
Corporation, as documentation agent and collateral monitoring agent, the other
Financing Documents referred to therein, and the Master Lease Agreements
referred to therein.  This opinion is being delivered to you pursuant to the
requirements of the Credit Agreement.

          In rendering this opinion, we have examined and relied upon copies of
the following documents: the Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Order
Under 11 U.S.C. (S) 1129 and Rule 3020 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy
Procedure Confirming the Fourth Amended Plan of Reorganization of Vencor, Inc.,
et al., dated March 16, 2001 (the "Confirmation Order") executed by Judge Mary
F. Walrath in connection with the Case, a copy of which is attached hereto as
Exhibit A and a certified copy of the docket of the Clerk of the Bankruptcy
Court in the Case for the period of March 16, 2001 to April 20, 2001 (the
"Docket"), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B.  In our examination
of documents, we have

assumed the genuineness of the signatures, the authenticity of all documents
submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all
documents submitted to us as copies and the legal capacity of natural persons to
complete the execution of documents. As to facts material to our opinion, we
have relied without independent investigation on the above-referenced documents
and on the accuracy as of the date hereof of the matters therein contained. We
express no opinion below as to the existence or effect of any matter entered on
the Docket after the effective time of our review of the Docket (as referenced
below). Further, we express no view whether the terms of the Confirmation Order
are in conformance with the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable law.

          Based on and subject to the foregoing, and limited in all respects to
matters of Delaware law and federal bankruptcy law, it is our view, based solely
upon our review of the Docket as it existed as of 12:32 p.m. on April 20, 2001,
that no notice of appeal of the Confirmation Order has been filed with the
Bankruptcy Court.

          The opinions herein expressed are intended solely for the benefit of
the addressee hereof and the Lenders and the Agents in connection with the
transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement and may not be relied upon by
any other person or entity, or for any other purpose, without our prior written
consent.  Notwithstanding the forgoing, we hereby consent to reliance hereon by
any person becoming a Lender under the Credit Agreement.  This opinion speaks
only as of the date hereof and is based on our understandings and assumptions as
to present facts, and our review of the above-referenced documents and the
application of Delaware and federal bankruptcy law as the same exist on the date
hereof, and we undertake no obligation to update or supplement this opinion
after the date hereof for the benefit of any person or entity with respect to
any facts or circumstances that may hereafter come to our attention or any
changes in facts or law that may hereafter occur or take effect.

                    FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
                    ---------------------------------------

                    IT IS HEREBY FOUND AND DETERMINED THAT:

          1.  All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the
meanings ascribed to such terms in the Plan, unless the context otherwise
requires.

          2.  This Court has jurisdiction over the Reorganization Cases pursuant
to 28 U.S.C. (S)(S) 157 and 1334.  Venue is proper before this Court pursuant to
28 U.S.C. (S)(S) 1408 and 1409.  Confirmation of the Plan is a core proceeding
under 28 U.S.C. (S) 157(b)(2), and this Court has exclusive jurisdiction to
determine whether the Plan complies with the applicable provisions of title 11
of the United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") and the Federal Rules of
Bankruptcy Procedures (the "Bankruptcy Rules") and should be confirmed.

          3.  This Court takes judicial notice of the docket of the
Reorganization Cases maintained by the Clerk of the Court and/or its duly
appointed agent, including, without limitation, all pleadings and other
documents filed, all orders entered, and all evidence and arguments made,
proffered or adduced at, the hearings held before the Court during the pendency
of the Reorganization Cases, including, without limitation, the hearing to
consider the adequacy of the Disclosure Materials.

          4.  The Debtors, as proponents of the Plan, have the burden of proving
the elements of Section 1129 by a preponderance of the evidence.

          5.  Notice of the Confirmation Hearing and the relevant deadlines for
submission of objections and ballots, as prescribed by this Court in the Voting
Procedures Order, has been provided and is adequate and sufficient pursuant to
Section 1128 of the Bankruptcy Code, Rules 2002(b) and 3020 of the Bankruptcy
Rules and other applicable law and rules.  Notice provided of the Confirmation
Hearing and the relevant deadlines for submission of objections and ballots and
service of the Disclosure Materials upon the individuals subject to the Debtors'
Motion for an Order Pursuant to Section 105(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and Rule
1009(a) of The Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure Disallowing Certain
Scheduled Claims For Purposes Of Voting.  On The Fourth Amended Joint Plan Of
Reorganization Under Chapter 11 Of The Bankruptcy Code, as set forth in the
Affidavit of Mailing of Bridget Gallerie dated January 10, 2001 and the
Affidavit of Kathy Gerber dated January 23, 2001, is adequate and sufficient
pursuant to Section 1128 of the Bankruptcy Code, Rules 2002(b) and 3020 of the
Bankruptcy Rules and other applicable law and rules.

          6.  Ballots were transmitted to holders of claims in classes eligible

Procedures Order.

          7.  The Debtors solicited votes for the Plan from the Voting Classes
in good faith and in a manner consistent with the Bankruptcy Code.

          8.  The affidavits of Diane Rocano, dated February 26, 2001 (the
"Voting Affidavit") (D.I. 5801) and March 7, 2001 (the "Supplemental Voting
Affidavit") (D.I.T.B.D.), are consistent with Bankruptcy Rule 3018.

                                       4
<PAGE>

          9.   The classification scheme of Claims and Interests under the Plan
is reasonable.  Claims or Interests in each Class are substantially similar to
other Claims or Interests in such Class, and the Plan therefore satisfies the
requirements of Section 1122(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.

          10.  The Plan provides for the treatment of Allowed Administrative
Claims and Allowed Priority Tax Claims.  In addition, the Plan establishes the
following Classes of Claims and Interests: Class 1 (Priority Claims); Class 2
(Secured Claims); Class 3A (Convenience Claims); Class 3B (Trade Claims,
Malpractice and Other Litigation Claims, Benefits Claims, Indemnification
Claims, Employee Contact Claims and Unsecured Claims that are not Convenience
Claims); Class 4 (Senior Debt Claims); Class 5 (Ventas Claim); Class 6 (Class 6
Claims); Class 7A (Subordinated Noteholder Claims); Class 7B (Noteholder
Securities Fraud Claims); Class 8 (Put Rights); Class 10 (Punitive Damage
Claims); Class 11A (Preferred Equity Interests); Class 11B (Preferred Equity
Securities Fraud Claims); Class 12A (Common Equity Interests); and Class 12B
(Common Equity Securities Fraud Claims).  The Plan satisfies the requirements of
Section 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.

          11.  The Plan establishes as Class 3A a class of claims consisting
only of unsecured claims that are reduced to or less than $3,000.00.  Pursuant
to Section 1122(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, this is a reasonable amount necessary
for administrative convenience.

          12.  The following Classes of Claims are impaired and comprise the
Classes entitled to vote under the Plan: Classes 3A, 3B, 4, 5, 6, 7A and 8
(collectively, the "Voting Classes").  The following Classes of Claims are
unimpaired under the Plan Classes 1 and 2.  The following Classes of Claims or
Interests are deemed to reject the Plan by virtue of receiving no distributions
thereunder, except as otherwise provided for under this Order: Classes 7B, 10,
11A,

                                       5
<PAGE>

11B, 12A and 12B. The treatment of Claims in unimpaired Classes is specified in
Article IV of the Plan, and the treatment of Claims and Interests in impaired
Classes is specified in Article V of the Plan. Therefore, the Plan satisfies the
requirements of Sections 1123(a)(2) and 1123(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code.

          13.  The Plan provides for the same treatment of each Claim or
Interest of a particular Class, and the Plan satisfies the requirements of
Section 1123(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code.

          14.  The Plan provides for adequate means for its implementation, and
therefore satisfies the requirements of Section 1123(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy
Code.

          15.  The Plan provides for the amendment of the Certificates of
Incorporation of the Debtors in substantially the form of the Vencor Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Form of Certificate of Amendment
of the Certificate of Incorporation of Each Corporate Debtor filed with this
Court in the Plan Supplement on December 29, 2000 (collectively and as may be
amended or modified, the "Amended Certificates of Incorporation"), which
prohibit the issuance of nonvoting equity securities.  Any revisions to the
Amended Certificates of Incorporation filed on or prior to the Effective Date
also shall prohibit the issuance of a non-voting equity securities.
Accordingly, the Plan complies with Section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code.

          16.  The Plan impairs or leaves unimpaired, as the case may be, each
Class of Claims or Interests, and the Plan therefore is consistent with the
provisions of Section 1123(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.

          17.  The Plan provides for the treatment under Section 365 of the
Bankruptcy Code, of all executory contracts and unexpired leases not previously
assumed or rejected or the

                                       6
<PAGE>

subject of a motion either to assume or reject pursuant to such section, and the
Plan therefore complies with the provisions of Section 1123(b)(2) of the
Bankruptcy Code.

          18.  Furthermore, the provisions of the Plan constitute a good faith
compromise and settlement of all Claims and Interests, and all controversies
respecting Claims and Interests are resolved pursuant to the Plan.  This
Confirmation Order constitutes the Court's approval of all such compromises and
settlements which, based upon the representations by the Debtors, all other
testimony proffered and evidence introduced at the Confirmation Hearing and the
full record of the Reorganization Cases, the Court finds to be fair, equitable,
within the range of reasonableness and in the best interests of the Debtors, the
Estates, creditors and other parties in interest.  Accordingly, the Plan
satisfies Section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code.

          19.  The Plan contains no provision that is inconsistent with the
applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and therefore satisfies Section
1123(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code.

          20.  The Government Settlement and the allowance and settlement of the
Class 6 Claims and the payment of such claims, as set forth in Sections 5.05 and
6.12 of the Plan, constitute a good faith compromise and settlement pursuant to
Bankruptcy Rule 9019, and the Government Settlement, including the settlement
amount allocated for each of the Qui Tam Actions as enumerated on Schedule E to
the Plan, is fair, adequate and reasonable under all the circumstances.  As to
United States, et al. ex rel. Phillips-Minks, et al. v. Behavioral Healthcare
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corp., et al. referenced on Schedule E and Exhibit 5 to the Plan, the
-------------
government's settlement of this Qui Tam Action is effective only to the extent
the United States has authority to compromise and settle this Qui Tam Action
pursuant to the Federal Claims Act ("FCA").  The District Court in that action
may determine, on motion of any party to that action, whether the government had

                                       7
<PAGE>

authority to settle that action. In the event the United States does not have
authority to compromise and settle this Qui Tam Action, the Claims relating to
this Qui Tam Action shall be treated as stated on the record at the Confirmation
Hearing as a Class 3B claim.

          21.  The treatment provided to the Ventas Entities under the Plan,
including, without limitation, under Section 5.04 and Article XI of the Plan,
constitute a good faith compromise and settlement pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule
9019.

          22.  All settlements in these cases, including but not limited to
settlements with the creditors in Classes 3A, 3B, 4, 5, 6, 7A, 8 and 10,
constitute good faith compromises and settlements pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule
9019.

          23.  Pursuant to Section 1123(b)(3)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code, the
Plan, except as provided therein, provides for the retention and enforcement of
all claims, rights and causes of action of the Debtors and the Estates, whether
prepetition or postpetition, and regardless of whether such claims, rights or
causes of action arise under any or all agreements and applicable law or equity,
exclusively by the Reorganized Debtors.  Under the Plan, all such claims, rights
and causes of action of the Debtors and the Estates, upon the Effective Date,
shall vest in the Reorganized Debtors and may be pursued by the Reorganized
Debtors except to the extent released under the Plan.  Accordingly, the
retention and enforcement of all such claims, rights and causes of action of the
Debtors and the Estates exclusively by the Reorganized Debtors will benefit the
Debtors' creditors and the requirements of Sections 550(a) and 1123(b)(3)(B) of
the Bankruptcy Code are satisfied.

          24.  The Plan complies with the applicable provisions of the
Bankruptcy Code, including, without limitation, Sections 1122 and 1123 of the
Bankruptcy Code.  Therefore, the Plan satisfies the requirements of Section
1129(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.  In addition, in

                                       8
<PAGE>

accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 3016(a), the Plan is dated and identified with
the names of the Debtors.

          25.  The Debtors, as proponents of the Plan, have complied with each
of the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code including, without
limitation, Sections 1125 and 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code, and therefore have
satisfied the requirements of Section 1129(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, as
follows: (a) the Debtors are proper debtors under Section 109 of the Bankruptcy
Code and proper proponents of the Plan under Section 1121(a) of the Bankruptcy
Code; (b) the Debtors have complied with each of the applicable provisions of
the Bankruptcy Code, except as otherwise provided or permitted by orders of the
Court; and (c) the Debtors have complied with each of the applicable provisions
of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Voting Procedures Order and
the Ventas Voting Stipulation in transmitting notices and solicitation materials
and in soliciting and tabulating votes on the Plan.

          26.  The Plan has been proposed in good faith and not by any means
forbidden by law.  In determining that the Plan has been proposed in good faith,
the Court has examined the totality of the circumstances surrounding the filing
and prosecution of the Debtors' Reorganization Cases and the formulation of the
Plan.  The Debtors' chapter 11 cases were filed and the Plan was proposed with
the proper purpose of reorganizing the Debtors, and expeditiously making
distributions to their creditors.  Furthermore, the Plan is the product of
extensive, arms' length negotiations among the Debtors, Ventas, the United
States, the Creditors' Committee, certain holders of the Senior Debt Claims and
Subordinated Noteholders, and each of their respective counsel and financial
advisors.  The Plan reflects the results of these negotiations and is reflective
of the interests of all the Estates' constituencies.  Thus, the Plan satisfies
the requirements of Section 1129(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code.

                                       9
<PAGE>

          27.  Any payments made or to be made by the Debtors for services or
for costs and expenses in, or in connection with, the Debtors' chapter 11 cases
have, to the extent required by the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules and
the Orders of this Court, been approved by, or are subject to the approval of
this Court as reasonable. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the requirements of
Section 1129(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code.

          28.  Section 8.07 of the Plan provides that Reorganized Vencor shall
have a board of directors consisting of seven (7) directors. The Board of
Directors or other current internal governance, as applicable, of the other
Reorganized Directors shall initially remain the same. The names and
affiliations of the persons designated pursuant to Section 8.07 of the Plan as
the initial members of the board of directors of each of the Reorganized Debtors
were disclosed to this Court prior to the Confirmation Hearing. In addition, the
Debtors disclosed the identity of any insiders that will be employed by the
Reorganized Debtors and the nature of their compensation. The appointment to
such office of each of the proposed directors and officers of each of the
Reorganized Debtors is consistent with the interests of creditors and equity
security holders and with public policy with respect to the manner of selection
of any officer or director of the Reorganized Debtors. Accordingly, the Plan
complies with Section 1123(a)(7) and 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code.

          29.  Section 1129(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code is satisfied because
the Plan does not provide for any change in rates over which a governmental
regulatory commission has jurisdiction.

          30.  With respect to each impaired Class of Claims or Interests, each
holder of a Claim or Interest in such Class: (a) has accepted the Plan; or (b)
will receive or retain under the Plan on account of such Claim or Interest,
property of a value, as of the Effective Date of the

                                      10
<PAGE>

Plan, that is not less than the amount that such holder would so receive or
retain if such Debtor were to be liquidated under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy
Code on such date. Accordingly, the Plan is in the best interests of the
creditors and satisfies the requirements of Section 1129(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy
Code.

          31.  As evidenced by the Voting Affidavit and the Supplemental Voting
Affidavit, the Plan has been accepted by each of the Voting Classes in
accordance with Section 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code and consistent with
Bankruptcy Rule 3018, the Voting Procedures Order and the Ventas Voting
Stipulation.

          32.  The Plan is deemed rejected, pursuant to Section 1126(g) of the
Bankruptcy Code, by the members of Classes 7B, 10, 11A, 11B, 12A and 12B, who
will receive no distribution and retain no interest on account of their
respective Claims or Interests, except as otherwise provided for under this
Order.

          33.  With respect to each Class of Claims or Interests designated by
the Plan, other than Classes 7B, 10, 11A, 11B, 12A and 12B, either: (a) such
Class has accepted the Plan; or (b) such Class is not impaired under the Plan.
Accordingly, the requirements of Section 1129(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code have
been satisfied with respect to all Claims and Interests other than those in
Classes 7B, 10, 11A, 11B, l2A and 12B. The Plan nevertheless may be confirmed
with respect to these Classes because, as stated below, the requirements of
Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code are satisfied with respect to these
Classes.

          34.  The treatment of Allowed Administrative Claims, Allowed Tax
Claims and Allowed Priority Claims under Sections 2.01, 2.03 and 4.01 of the
Plan satisfies the applicable requirements of Section 1129(a)(9)(A),(B) and (C)
of the Bankruptcy Code.

                                      11
<PAGE>

          35.  The Plan has been accepted by Classes 3A, 3B, 4, 5, 6 and 7A,
and, therefore, has been accepted by at least one impaired Class of Claims or
Interests, which acceptance has been determined without including any
acceptances of the Plan by any insider holding a Claim in such Class.
Accordingly, the requirements of Section 1129(a)(10) of the Bankruptcy Code are
satisfied with respect to the Plan.

          36.  The Plan satisfies Section 1129(a)(11) of the Bankruptcy Code
because confirmation of the Plan is not likely to be followed by liquidation or
the need for further financial reorganization of the Reorganized Debtors.

          37.  The fees payable by the Debtors to the United States Trustee or
the Clerk of this Court, as provided under 28 U.S.C. (S) 1930(a)(6), constitute
administrative expenses entitled to Priority under Section 507(a)(1) of the
Bankruptcy Code and the treatment of such fees in the Plan satisfies the
requirements of Section 1129(a)(12) of the Bankruptcy Code.

          38.  To the extent the Debtors are required to continue to provide any
retiree benefits (as that term is defined under Section 1114 of the Bankruptcy
Code), such benefits shall be continued under the Plan, and the Plan satisfies
the requirements of Section 1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code.

          39.  The requirements of Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code are
satisfied as to holders of Claims in Classes 7B, 10, 11A, 11B, 12A and 12B
because the Plan does not discriminate unfairly, and is fair and equitable, with
respect to each Class of Claims or Interests that is Impaired under, and that
has not accepted, the Plan, and no holder of any Interests of the Debtors that
is junior to the Interests of such Classes will receive or retain any property
under the Plan on account of such junior Interests.

                                      12
<PAGE>

          40.  Other than the Plan, no plan has been filed in these cases.
Accordingly, the requirements of Section 1129(c) of the Bankruptcy Code have
been satisfied.

          41.  No party in interest that is a governmental unit has requested
that the Court not confirm the Plan on the grounds that the principal purpose of
the Plan is the avoidance of taxes or the avoidance of the application of
Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, 15 U.S.C. (S) 77e, and the principal
purpose of the Plan is not such avoidance. Accordingly, the Plan satisfies the
requirements of Section 1129(d) of the Bankruptcy Code.

          42.  To the extent the terms of this Order may be construed to
constitute modifications to the Plan (the "Plan Modifications'), such Plan
Modifications do not materially or adversely affect or change the treatment of
any Claim against or Interest in any Debtor. Accordingly, pursuant to Bankruptcy
Rule 3019, the Plan Modifications do not require additional disclosure under
Section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code or the resolicitation of acceptances or
rejections under Section 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code, nor do they require that
holders of Claims against or Interests in any Debtor to be afforded an
opportunity to change previously cast acceptances or rejections of the Plan as
filed with the Court. Disclosure of the Plan Modifications on the record at the
Confirmation Hearing constitutes due and sufficient notice thereof under the
circumstances of these Reorganization Cases. All references to the Plan in this
Order shall be to the Plan as so modified.

          43.  Based upon the record before the Court, the Debtors and their
agents, counsel and financial advisors have solicited votes on the Plan in good
faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code
and are entitled to the protections afforded by Section 1125(e) of the
Bankruptcy Code and the exculpatory and injunctive provisions set forth in
Article XI of the Plan.

                                      13
<PAGE>

          44.  The Debtors, the Ventas Entities, each of their respective
Representatives, benefit plan administrators and trustees, and their officers,
directors, employees, agents, advisors legal and financial advisors, attorneys,
professionals, principals and agents, the Creditors' Committee and its members,
officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, legal and financial advisors,
attorneys, professionals, principals and agents, the holders of the Senior Debt
Claims, their officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, legal and
financial advisors, attorneys, professionals, principals and agents, and the
Subordinated Noteholders, their officers, directors, employees, agents,
advisors, legal and financial advisors, attorneys, professionals, principals and
agents (each of the foregoing solely in their capacity as such), have acted in
good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy
Code pursuant to Section1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code and 1129(a)(3) of the
Bankruptcy Code, with respect to the administration of the Plan, the
solicitation of acceptances with regard thereto and the property to be
distributed thereunder.

          45.  The Court may properly retain jurisdiction over the matters set
forth in Section 13.01 of the Plan.

          46.  Upon entry of this Order, each of the conditions to confirmation
contained in Section 10.01 of the Plan shall have been satisfied.

                                    DECREES
                                    -------

          NOW THEREFORE IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, DECREED AND DETERMINED
THAT:

          1.  To the extent that any objections have not been withdrawn or
resolved by stipulation prior to the entry of this Confirmation Order or are not
resolved by the relief granted herein or as stated on the record of the
Confirmation Hearing, all such objections are hereby overruled. The stipulations
entered into with (a) the State of Georgia, Department of Revenue

                                      14
<PAGE>

(D.I. 5834), (b) the Louisiana Department of Revenue (D.I. 5835), (c) the
Missouri Department of Revenue (D.I. 5836), (d) the Tennessee Department of
Revenue (D.I. 5837), and (e) the Texas Tax Authorities (D.I. 5838) fully resolve
the objections raised by these parties and govern the treatment of the claims of
these entities under the Plan.

          2.  The findings of this Court set forth above and the conclusions of
law stated herein shall constitute findings of fact and conclusions of law
pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 7052, made applicable to this proceeding by
Bankruptcy Rule 9014. To the extent any findings of fact shall be determined to
be a conclusion of law, it shall be so deemed, and vice versa.

          3.  The Plan complies with the requirements of Sections 1122, 1123 and
1129 of the Bankruptcy Code.

          4.  To the extent the IRS holds an allowed claim properly classified,
and to the extent entitled to interest, the interest rate shall be at the
federal statutory rate as provided by the Internal Revenue Code.

          5.  The Plan (as modified by any modifications contained in this
Confirmation Order) is confirmed under Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code.

          6.  The provisions of the Plan and this Confirmation Order, including
the findings of fact and conclusions of law set forth herein, are nonseverable
and mutually dependent.

          7.  Plan Classification Controlling.  The classification of Claims and
              -------------------------------
Interests for purposes of the distributions to be made under the Plan shall be
governed solely by the terms of the Plan. The classifications and amounts of
Claims, if any, set forth in the Ballots tendered or returned by the Debtors'
creditors in connection with voting on the Plan (i) were set forth on the
Ballots solely for purposes of voting to accept or reject the Plan, (ii) do not
necessarily represent, and in no event shall be deemed to modify or otherwise
affect the actual classification of such

                                      15
<PAGE>

Claims or Interests under the Plan for distribution purposes and (iii) shall not
be binding on the Debtors, the Estates, or the Reorganized Debtors.

          8.  Certain Effects of Confirmation; Discharge; Injunction; Releases.
              ----------------------------------------------------------------
All of the provisions of Article XI, including Sections 11.01, 11.02(a),
11.02(b), 11.03, 11.04, 11.05, 11.06, 11.07 and 11.08 of the Plan, as restated
or amended by this paragraph, are incorporated herein by reference as if set
forth herein in extenso. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
             ----------
the Plan, nothing in Article XI of the Plan shall be construed as providing a
discharge or release of any claims that have been or may be asserted-by
Cornerstone Insurance Company ("Cornerstone") against any of the Ventas Parties
or by one or more of the Ventas Parties against Cornerstone. The evidence
presented in connection with the Confirmation Hearing establishes that the
releases of the nondebtor Entities contained in Article XI of the Plan are fair
and necessary to the reorganization of the Debtors, and that the nondebtor
Entities receiving the benefit of the releases contained in Article XI of the
Plan have made substantial contributions toward the reorganization of the
Debtors, which are integral to the effectuation of the Plan and the consummation
of the transactions contemplated therein (including, without limitation, the
funding of distributions to holders of Allowed Claims and the Debtors'
performance under the contracts and leases assumed pursuant to the Plan).

          9.  Retention and Enforcement of Estates' Claims and Rights.  Except
              -------------------------------------------------------
as set forth in the Plan or this Confirmation Order, the Debtors shall not be
deemed to have waived or relinquished:

          (i)  any rights of causes of action (prepetition or postpetition) that
               the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may have currently or
               which the Reorganized Debtors may choose to assert on behalf of
               their Estates under any provision of the Bankruptcy Code or any
               similar applicable non-bankruptcy law, including without
               limitation, (i) breach of contract claims, (ii) the avoidance of
               any transfer by or obligation of the Debtors or (iii) the

                                      16
<PAGE>

               turnover of any property to the Estates, all of which are
               expressly reserved by the Plan and may only be pursued by the
               Reorganized Debtors;

          (ii) any claim, cause of action, right of setoff or other legal or
               equitable defense which the Debtors had immediately prior to the
               Petition Date, against or with respect to any Claim left
               unaltered or Unimpaired by the Plan. The Reorganized Debtors
               shall have, retain, reserve and be entitled to assert all such
               claims, causes of action, rights of setoff and other legal or
               equitable defenses which they had immediately prior to the
               Petition Date fully as if the chapter 11 cases had not been
               commenced; and all of the Reorganized Debtors' legal and
               equitable rights respecting any Claim left unaltered or
               Unimpaired by the Plan may be asserted after the Confirmation
               Date to the same extent as if the chapter 11 cases had not been
               commenced.

          10.  As of the Effective Date, the Government Settlement and the
allowance and settlement of the Class 6 Claims and the payment of such claims,
as set forth in Sections 5.05 and 6.12 of the Plan, is approved as a good faith
compromise and settlement pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019, and the Government
Settlement, including the settlement amount allocated for each of the Qui Tam
Actions as enumerated on Schedule E to the Plan, is fair, adequate and
reasonable under all the circumstances. As to United States, et al. ex rel.
                                              -----------------------------
Phillips-Minks, et al. v. Behavioral Healthcare Corp., et al. referenced on
-------------------------------------------------------------
Schedule E and Exhibit 5 to the Plan, the government's settlement of this Qui
Tam Action is effective only to the extent the United States has authority to
compromise and settle this Qui Tam Action pursuant to the Federal Claims Act
("FCA"). The District Court in that action may determine, on motion of any party
to that action, whether the government had authority to settle that action. In
the event the United States does not have authority to compromise and settle
this Qui Tam Action, the Claims relating to this Qui Tam Action shall be treated
as stated on the record at the Confirmation Hearing as a Class 3B claim.

          11.  As of the Effective Date, the treatment provided to the Ventas
Entities under the Plan, including, without limitation, under Section 5.04 and
Article XI of the Plan, constitute a good faith compromise and settlement
pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019.

          12.  All settlements in these cases, including settlements with the
creditors in Class 3A, 3B, 4, 5, 6, 7A, 8 and 10 are hereby approved as good
faith compromises and settlements pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019.

          13.  Binding Effect.  Pursuant to Section 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code,
               --------------
effective as of the Confirmation Date, but subject to the occurrence of the
Effective Date, and except as expressly provided in the Plan, the Plan Documents
or this Confirmation Order, the provisions of the Plan (including the exhibits
to, and all documents and agreements contemplated by and executed pursuant to
the Plan) and this Confirmation Order shall be binding on (i) the Debtors, (ii)
the Reorganized Debtors, (iii) all holders of Claims against and Interests in
the Debtors, whether or not impaired under the Plan and whether or not, if
impaired, such holders accepted the Plan, and (iv) each Person or Entity
acquiring property under the Plan. The holders of liens satisfied, discharged
and released under the Plan shall execute any and all documentation reasonably
requested by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors evidencing the satisfaction,
discharge and release of such liens and such liens shall be deemed satisfied,
discharged and released by operation of this Order.

          14.  Revesting of Assets.  On the Effective Date, the assets of the
               -------------------
Debtors shall vest in the Reorganized Debtors. Thereafter, the Reorganized
Debtors may operate their businesses and may use, acquire, and dispose of
property free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules
and the Court. All property of the Reorganized Debtors shall be free and clear
of all Claims and Interests, and all such Claims and Interests shall be both

                                      18
<PAGE>

discharged and released to the Reorganized Debtors, except as specifically
provided in the Plan, the New Collateral Documents, the New Senior Secured
Credit Agreement, the New Senior Secured Notes, the Exit Facility, the Amended
Ventas Leases, the Tax Refund Escrow Agreement or any other Plan Document or any
documents or instruments executed in accordance therewith, or the Confirmation
Order.

          15.  Assumption and Rejection of Contracts and Leases.  Subject to
               ------------------------------------------------
Section 5.04 of the Plan, on the Effective Date, all executory contracts and
unexpired leases, including the Five Ventas Leases as assumed and simultaneously
amended to become the Amended Ventas Leases, of the Estates shall be assumed by
the Debtors pursuant to the provisions of Sections 365 and 1123 of the
Bankruptcy Code, except: (i) any executory contract or unexpired lease that is
the subject of a separate motion filed pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy
Code by the Debtors prior to the Confirmation Date; (ii) such contracts or
leases as are listed on Exhibit 8 to the Plan Supplement filed by the Debtors on
or before the Effective Date; and (iii) all executory contracts or unexpired
leases rejected under the Plan or by order of the Court entered before the
Effective Date and not subsequently assumed pursuant to an order of the Court.
Any order entered after the Confirmation Date by the Bankruptcy Court, after
notice and hearing, authorizing the rejection of an executory contract or
unexpired lease (other than a contract or lease governed by Section 5.04 of the
Plan) shall cause such rejection to be a prepetition breach under Sections
365(g) and 502(g) of the Bankruptcy Code, as if such relief were granted and
such order were entered prior to the Confirmation Date. Any Claims arising out
of the rejection of executory contracts or leases (other than a contract or
lease governed by Section 5.04 of the Plan) must be filed with the Court within
the later of the time set by any Final Order rejecting such executory contract
or unexpired lease or 30 days after the Effective Date. Any Claims not

                                      19
<PAGE>

filed within such time will be forever barred from assertion against any of the
Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, their Estates and their property. Except as
provided in Section 5.04 of the Plan, the Reorganized Debtors shall pay allowed
cure amounts arising from the assumption of executory contracts or leases as
Administrative Claims under the Plan without the need for the filing of a proof
of claim by the claimant. In addition to the retention of jurisdiction provision
contained in Section 13.01 of the Plan and subject to the provisions thereof,
the Court expressly retains jurisdiction to resolve any disputes between the
Reorganized Debtors and a party to an executory contract or lease that is
assumed regarding the cure amount that is owed as a result of the assumption of
the contract or lease, which either party can seek to resolve by application to
the Court on or after forty-five (45) days after the Effective Date if the
parties are unable to resolve the dispute consensually.

          16. General Authorizations. The Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors
              ----------------------

Bankruptcy Code, and as applicable, Section 303 of the General Corporation Law

transactions contemplated by the Confirmation Order (including without
limitation transactions contemplated by the Plan and Plan Documents as confirmed

including, without limitation, the following: (a) to reconstitute the board of
directors of each Reorganized Debtor; (b) to amend the Reorganized Debtors'
respective certificates of incorporation and by-laws, including without
limitation to effectuate a change of name with respect to Reorganized Vencor and
certain of the other Reorganized Debtors, provided that any such amended
certificates of incorporation and

                                      20
<PAGE>

amended bylaws shall continue to prohibit the issuance of non-voting equity
securities; (c) to merge any or all of the Debtors; (d) to enter into, execute
and deliver the Exit Facility and the Plan Documents, including without
limitation the New Senior Secured Credit Agreement, the New Senior Secured
Notes, the New Collateral Documents, the Amended Ventas Leases, the Registration
Rights Agreement, the New Warrant Agreement and the Tax Refund Escrow Agreement;
(e) to adopt and implement the Long-Term Incentive Plan, the Restricted Share
Plan and the New Stock Option Plan, and to pay the Performance Bonuses and
Retention Bonuses, to the extent not previously authorized by the Court and/or

Reorganized Debtors to execute any documents, instruments or agreements
necessary, and perform any act that is desirable or required to comply with the
terms and conditions of the Plan and consummation of the Plan, including all
documents necessary and appropriate to execute and consummate the Exit Facility.
Such actions are approved in all respects and shall be deemed to have occurred
and be effective on the Effective Date.

          17.  Subordination Rights.  Subject to the provisions of Section 8.15
               --------------------
of the Plan, as of the Effective Date, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law (including but not limited to subsections (a) or (c) of Section
510 of the Bankruptcy Code), all Claims against and Interests in the Debtors and
all rights and claims between or among creditors or holders of Interests
relating in any manner whatsoever to Claims against or Interests in the Debtors,
based on any subordination rights, either contractual, legal or equitable, shall
be terminated and discharged in the manner provided for in the Plan, and all
such Claims, Interests and rights so based and all such subordination rights to
which any Entity may be entitled shall be irrevocably waived by the acceptance
by such Entity of the Plan or of any distribution pursuant to the Plan.

                                      21
<PAGE>

          18.  Status of Corporate Indemnities.  The continuance of the
               -------------------------------
Corporate Indemnities by the Reorganized Debtors, as provided in Section 12.03
of the Plan, shall be authorized and approved in all respects without any
requirement of further action by stockholders or directors of any of the Debtors
or Reorganized Debtors.

          19.  No Post-Confirmation Amendment or Filing of Claims.  Except as
               --------------------------------------------------
otherwise provided herein or in the Plan, a Claim may not be filed or amended
after the Confirmation Date without the prior authorization of the Court and,
even with such Court authorization may be amended by the holder of such Claim
solely to decrease, but not to increase, the amount or priority of the Claim.
Except as otherwise permitted herein or in the Plan, a Claim filed or amended
alter the Confirmation Date shall be deemed disallowed in full and expunged
without any action by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors if prior Court
authorization has not been obtained.

          20.  Payment of Fees.  As set forth in Section 14.07 of the Plan, all
               ---------------
fees payable pursuant to Section 1930 of Title 28 of the United States Code
shall be paid on or before the Effective Date, and to the extent required and
unless relieved of these obligations by further Order of the Court, shall be
paid until the Reorganization Cases are closed.

          21.  Retention of Jurisdiction.  Notwithstanding confirmation of the
               -------------------------
Plan or occurrence of the Effective Date, and except as specified in the Exit
Facility, this Court shall retain such jurisdiction as is legally permissible,
including, without limitation, for the purposes set forth in Section 13.01 of
the Plan and for the determination of cure amounts as described in this Order,
subject to the limitations set forth in Section 13.01 of the Plan.

          22.  Modification of Plan.  Subject to Section 14.12 of the Plan,
               --------------------
after the entry of this Order, the Reorganized Debtors may, upon order of the
Court, amend or modify the Plan in

                                      22
<PAGE>

accordance with Section 1127(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, or remedy any defect or
omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan in such manner as may be
necessary to carry out the purpose and intent of the Plan, as modified by this
Order.

          23.  The treatment of Class 10 (Punitive Damage Claims) under the Plan
is hereby amended pursuant to Section 1127(b) of the Bankruptcy Code to provide
solely with respect to any Allowed Punitive Damage Claims that have been filed
in the State of Florida ("Florida Punitive Damage Claims") that such Claims
shall be treated as Class 3B Claims in an amount up to the lesser of (a) any
applicable state law limits with respect to such Claim or (b) the greater of (i)
$500,000 or (ii) three times any compensatory damages award (the "Punitive
Damage Amount").  To the extent that any judgment with respect to any Florida
Punitive Damage Claim exceeds the Punitive Damage Amount, the amount in excess
of the Punitive Damage Amount shall be treated as a Class 10 Claim and the
Claimant shall receive no payment for such excess amount.

          24.  Exemption from Securities Laws.  The exemption from the
               ------------------------------
requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, 15 U.S.C. (S) 77e, and
any state and local law requiring registration for the offer or sale of a
security provided for in Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code shall apply to the
New Senior Secured Notes, the New Common Stock (including New Common Stock
issued under the Performance Plan), the New Warrants, and the New Stock Options
issued pursuant to the Plan.

          25.  Exemptions from Taxation.  Pursuant to Section 1146(c) of the
               ------------------------
Bankruptcy Code: (1) the issuance, distribution, transfer or exchange of the New
Senior Secured Notes and the entry into the Exit Facility or (2) the making,
delivery or recording of any other instrument of transfer under, in furtherance
of, or in connection with, the Plan, including any mortgages, deeds

                                      23
<PAGE>

of trust, deed to secure debt, assignments or other instruments of transfer
executed in connection with any transactions arising out of, contemplated by or
in any way related to the Plan or this Confirmation Order (and including without
limitation the Security Documents, as defined in Schedule A, attached hereto)
granted by any of the Reorganized Debtors in favor of Morgan Guaranty Trust
Company as Collateral Agent), shall not be subject to any document recording
tax, stamp tax, conveyance fee, intangibles or similar tax, mortgage tax, real
estate transfer tax, documentary transfer tax, mortgage recording tax or other
similar tax or governmental assessment, and the appropriate state and local
governmental officials or agents, including but not limited to the land title
recording officers of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Tennessee,
Virginia, and counties therein, and the City of New Orleans, Louisiana shall be,
and hereby are, ordered and directed to forego the collection of any such tax or
governmental assessment and to accept for filing and recordation any of the
foregoing instruments or other documents without the payment of any such tax or
governmental assessment.

          26.  Validity of Liens.  The liens granted pursuant to the Exit
               -----------------
Facility and the New Senior Secured Notes and the New Senior Secured Credit
Agreement shall be legal, valid and enforceable first priority liens, except as
otherwise provided in the Exit Facility, the New Senior Secured Credit Agreement
and the New Senior Secured Notes, and the documents to be executed and delivered
pursuant thereto shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of
the Reorganized Debtors that are parties thereto.

          27.  References to Plan Provisions.  The failure specifically to
               -----------------------------
include or reference any particular provision of the Plan in this Confirmation
Order shall not diminish or

                                      24
<PAGE>

impair the effectiveness of such provision, it being the intent of the Court
that the Plan be confirmed in its entirety.

          28.  Confirmation Order Controlling.  If there is any direct conflict
               ------------------------------
between the Plan and this Confirmation Order, the terms of this Confirmation
Order shall control.

          29.  Reversal.  If any or all of the provisions of this Confirmation
               --------
Order are hereafter reversed, modified or vacated by subsequent order of this
Court or any other Court, subject to Section 14.12 of the Plan, such reversal,
modification or vacatur shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the
acts or obligations incurred or undertaken under or in connection with the Plan
prior to the Debtors' receipt of written notice of such order including, without
limitation, the obligations and indebtedness created under the Exit Facility.
Notwithstanding any such reversal, modification or vacatur of this Confirmation
Order, but subject to Section 14.12 of the Plan, any such act or obligation
incurred or undertaken pursuant to, and in reliance on, this Confirmation Order
prior to the effective date of such reversal, modification or vacatur shall be
governed in all respects by the provisions of this Confirmation Order and the
Plan and all related documents or any amendments or modifications thereto.

          30.  No Stay of Confirmation Order.  Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule
               -----------------------------
3020(e), this Order shall not be stayed and shall be effective upon entry on the
docket of this Court.

          31.  Applicable Non-Bankruptcy Law.  To the extent provided in
               -----------------------------
Sections 1123(a) and 1142(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, the provisions of this
Confirmation Order, the Plan or any amendments or modifications thereto shall
apply and be enforceable notwithstanding any otherwise applicable nonbankruptcy
law.

          32.  Dissolution of the Creditors' Committee.  On the Effective Date,
               ---------------------------------------
the Creditors' Committee shall cease to exist and its members, employees or
agents (including

                                      25
<PAGE>

without limitation, attorneys, financial advisors, and any other professionals)
shall be released and discharged in their capacity as such from all further
authority, duties, responsibilities, and obligations related to, arising from or
in connection with the Reorganization Cases except with respect to: (i) any
matters pending before the Court to which the Creditors' Committee is a party,
until such objections or matters are resolved, (ii) all fee applications filed
or to be filed after the Effective Date pursuant to Section 330 of the
Bankruptcy Code by or on behalf of members of the Creditors' Committee or any
professionals employed by the Debtors or the Creditors' Committee, (iii)
effectuating consummation of the Plan and (iv) any post-confirmation
modifications to the Plan or the Confirmation Order.

          33.  Record Date for Distributions.  The record date for determining
               -----------------------------
the holders of the Senior Debt Claims and the Subordinated Noteholders, entitled
to receive distributions under the Plan shall be the Confirmation Date.

          34.  Distribution of New Common Stock and New Warrants.  On the
               -------------------------------------------------
Effective Date the Reorganized Debtors shall deliver all of the New Common Stock
and New Warrants to be distributed to the holders of Allowed Class 4, 5 and 7A
Claims to the Exchange Agent on behalf of such holders (or in the case of Ventas
Realty, Limited Partnership, any designee named by Ventas Realty, Limited
Partnership prior to the Effective Date) in accordance with the provisions of
Article VI of the Plan.  Pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Plan, the Debtors have
designated Wells Fargo Bank of Minnesota, NA. ("Wells Fargo"), as the Exchange
Agent and the Court hereby approves the designation of Wells Fargo as the
Exchange Agent.  Holders of Allowed Claims in Classes 4 and 7A who do not
receive distributions of New Common Stock or New Warrants due to their failure
to comply with the procedural requirements of Article VI related to the
distribution of such securities shall be treated in the same manner as provided
in

                                      26
<PAGE>

Section 6.09 of the Plan for holders of Claims that cannot be located within one
(1) year of the Effective Date, and the distributions that would otherwise be
made to such holders shall instead be reallocated and distributed pro rata among
the remaining holders of Claims in the same Class.

          35.  Administrative Claims Bar Date.  All applications for payment of
               ------------------------------
fees and expenses pursuant to Section 330 and 503(b) of the Bankruptcy Code
which were incurred before the Effective Date must be filed with the Court on or
before 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on the date that is the forty-five (45)
days after the Effective Date; provided however that the foregoing shall not
apply to the Class 5 Claim.  Any Person who fails to file such an application
with the Court on or before such time and date shall be forever barred from
asserting such claim against any of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or
their property, and the holder thereof shall be enjoined from commencing or
continuing any action, employment of process or act to collect, offset or
recover such claim.  Notwithstanding any prior order of this Court in these
Reorganization Cases, all requests for approval and payment of professional fees
and reimbursement of expenses, whether or not previously applied for by interim
application, may be included in such professionals' final applications for
payment of Claims as set forth herein and in the Plan.  Objections, if any, to
such claims shall be filed and served not later than five (5) business days
prior to the date set by the Court for the hearing to consider such claims.

          36.  Allowance of Malpractice and Other Litigation Claims.  The
               ----------------------------------------------------
Debtors and/or Reorganized Debtors shall file an objection to and/or contest the
allowance of the Malpractice and Other Litigation Claims on or before the
expiration of one-hundred and twenty (120) days from the Effective Date
(hereinafter the "Objection Deadline").  Failure of the Debtors or Reorganized
Debtors to file a objection to a Malpractice and Other Litigation Claim on or
before the expiration of the Objection Deadline shall constitute the allowance
of the Malpractice and

                                      27
<PAGE>

Other Litigation Claim subject only to the liquidation of the Malpractice and
Other Litigation Claim in a court of competent jurisdiction. Further, upon the
occurrence of either the filing of the objection to a Malpractice and Other
Litigation Claim by a Debtor or Reorganized Debtor or the deemed allowance of
the claim, the automatic stay of 11 U.S.C. (S) 362 shall be lifted and the
claimant shall be authorized to take all steps necessary to liquidate the
Malpractice and Other Litigation Claim; provided however, that (i) the
liquidation of the Malpractice and Other Litigation Claim shall be undertaken
solely for the purpose of liquidating the claimant's Malpractice and Other
Litigation Claim against the Debtors for purposes of receiving distributions
under the Plan, and/or receiving such insurance proceeds as may be available to
such claimant with respect to such claim; and (ii) the Court shall retain
jurisdiction over the Malpractice and Other Litigation Claims to resolve any
disputes that may arise between the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors and the
claimants regarding the liquidation of the Malpractice and Other Litigation
Claims and the payment of distributions under the Plan for such claims, subject
to the restrictions on jurisdiction contained in 28 U.S.C. (S) 157.

          37.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit or otherwise preclude a
Debtor and a holder of a Malpractice and Other Litigation Claim from resolving a
Malpractice and Other Litigation Claim by settlement. In addition, to the extent
that a Malpractice and Other Litigation Claim is resolved for an amount, the
payment of which comes exclusively from the Debtors' and/or Reorganized Debtors'
insurance carriers, then no further order or intervention by the Court is
required.

          38.  The Debtors and Reorganized Debtors reserve the right to seek a
further order of the Court establishing a mediation or alternative dispute
resolution procedure for the liquidation of the Malpractice and Other Litigation
Claims arising in those states in which

                                      28
<PAGE>

mediation and/or alternative dispute resolution procedures are not a mandatory
element of the state court process.

          39.  Indenture Trustee Fees.  To the extent that, as of the Effective
               ----------------------
Date, any pending Administrative Expense Claims of the Indenture Trustees
(including a good faith estimate provided to the Debtors by each of the
Indenture Trustees of its fees and expenses accruing through the Effective
Date), are not yet allowed, the Debtors shall establish on the Effective Date a
separate Cash reserve (the "Indenture Trustees Reserve") for the Indenture
Trustees in the amount of any such outstanding Administrative Expense Claims
including the estimated fees and expenses.

          40.  The obligation of the Reorganized Vencor to pay the Indenture
Trustees their fees and expenses shall be secured by the amounts in the
Indenture Trustee Reserve established for the Indenture Trustees and the lien
rights of the Indenture Trustees under the respective indentures governing the
Subordinated Notes shall be deemed to attach to the Cash in the Indenture
Trustee Reserve to the same extent as if the Cash in the Indenture Trustees
Reserve were property received by the Indenture Trustees pursuant to the Plan.
The Indenture Trustees shall be conclusively deemed to have taken any and all
action required to perfect their lien rights as to the Cash in the Indenture
Trustees Reserve, including, without limitation, any requirement of possession
for such perfection.

          41.  In consideration for the foregoing, and subject to the
establishment of the Indenture Trustee Reserve, the Indenture Trustees are
deemed to have waived their lien rights in the property to be distributed under
the Plan to the holders of the Subordinated Notes. Upon the payment by the
Debtors or Reorganized Vencor of the Allowed Administrative Expenses Claims

                                      29
<PAGE>

of the Indenture Trustees the lien rights of the Indenture Trustees in the
Indenture Trustee Reserve shall be extinguished.

          42.  Transfer of Ventas Claims.  Any transfer of a Class 5 Claim held
               -------------------------
by a Ventas Entity shall be effective and recognized for distribution purposes
of the Plan upon the filing with the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court by the
respective Ventas Entity of a notice of the transfer.

          43.  Post-Confirmation Notices.  On or before the tenth (10) Business
               -------------------------
Day following the date of the entry of this Confirmation Order, the Debtors or
the Reorganized Debtors, as appropriate, shall serve notice of entry of this
Confirmation Order pursuant to Bankruptcy Rules 2002(f)(7), 2002(k) and 3020(c)
to all creditors, indenture trustees and equity security holders of the Debtors
as of the date hereof

          44.  Subject to Section 14.12 of the Plan, the form of the Amended
Ventas Leases (as appropriately conformed for each master lease portfolio as
described in the form admitted as an exhibit at the Confirmation Hearing), the
Excess Stock Trust Agreement, the Tax Refund Escrow Agreement, the Registration
Rights Agreement, the New Senior Secured Notes, the New Senior Secured Credit
Agreement and the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation shall be
substantially in the forms submitted as exhibits at the Confirmation Hearing or
in the case of the Registration Rights Agreement, filed with the Court, and
shall be executed and delivered on the Effective Data.

          45.  If the Effective Date does not occur, this Order shall be deemed
vacated and of no force and effect.

          46.  Postpetition Claims.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan,
               -------------------
for any Claims arising on or after the Petition Date that represent liabilities
incurred by the Debtors in the ordinary course of business during these
Reorganization Cases the Debtors shall remain

                                      30
<PAGE>

obligated to pay such Claims as and when they become due and payable in the
ordinary course of business, without the need for Filing an application with the
Court before the bar date for Administrative Claims or at any other time and
without regard to the terms of or any limitation of the Plan, and in accordance
with the terms and conditions of any judgment, award or agreement relating
thereto; this paragraph specifically applies without limitation to Postpetition
Personal Injury Claims alleged against the Debtors that arose on or after the
Petition Date which may be determined, liquidated and resolved in the ordinary
course of business. Holders of Postpetition Personal Injury Claim are authorized
to liquidate such Claims to judgment, settlement or otherwise without further
order of the Court and to seek payment as set forth herein.

                         [Letterhead of Local Counsel]

                                             April 20, 2001

Morgan Guaranty Trust Company
  of New York, as Collateral Agent
60 Wall Street
New York, NY 10260

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         We have acted as special [State] counsel to Vencor, Inc.("Vencor") and
Vencor Operating, Inc. ("Vencor Operating"; together with Vencor, the "Vencor
Companies" and each, a "Vencor Company") in connection with the delivery of the
mortgage[s], deed[s] of trust or deed[s] to secure debt described on Exhibit A
                                                                     ---------
hereto (the "Mortgage[s]"). Unless otherwise defined herein, terms are used
herein as defined in the Mortgage[s].

         In connection with this opinion, we have examined, with respect to each
of the properties listed on Exhibit A hereto (each, a "Property"), drafts of the
                            ---------
Amended and Restated Memorand[um][a] of Lease listed on Exhibit A hereto (each,
                                                        ---------
a "Memorandum of Lease"), if any, the Mortgage[s], the financing statements
listed on Exhibit A hereto (the "Financing Statements") and such other
          ---------
documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other
instruments, and have conducted such other investigations of fact and law, as we
have deemed necessary or advisable for purposes of this opinion.

         In rendering this opinion, we have assumed that:

               (i) Each Vencor Company is a corporation duly organized, validly
         existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of
         incorporation, has been duly qualified as a foreign corporation for the
         transaction of business and has all requisite corporate power and all
         material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals
         necessary to own and operate the Mortgaged [Trust] Property.
<PAGE>

               (ii)   The execution, delivery and performance by each Vencor
         Company of the Mortgage[s] and the execution, delivery and performance
         by such Vencor Company of each of the other Financing Documents to
         which it is a party (i) are within its corporate powers, (ii) have been
         duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, (iii) do not require
         any authorization, approval or consent of, or filings or registrations
         with, any governmental or regulatory authority or agency outside of the
         State of __________, except for authorizations, consents, approvals
         that have already been obtained or filings that have already been made
         and that remain in effect, (iv) do not contravene any provision of its
         certificate of incorporation or by-laws, and (v) do not contravene or
         constitute a breach of or default under any applicable provision of the
         laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of ___________ or any
         applicable regulation thereunder or under any agreement, judgment,
         injunction, order, decree or other instrument binding upon it.

               (iii)  The Mortgage[s] have been duly executed and delivered by
         each Vencor Company.

               (iv)   The Financing Documents other than the Mortgage[s]
         constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of each Vencor Company
         under the laws of the State of New York.

               (v)    Each Vencor Company owns the Mortgaged [Trust] Property
         covered by the Mortgage[s] to which such Vencor Company is a party.

           Upon the basis of the foregoing, we are of the opinion that, under
applicable law in effect on the date of this opinion:

           Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion that:

           1. The forms of the Memorandum of Lease and Mortgage[s] are in
proper form for recordation with the [Recorder's Office] of each county in
which a Property is located in the State of [State]. The Memorand[um][a] of
Lease include all of the information required to be included under the law of
the [State] [Commonwealth] of [State] necessary to publish notice of the
leasehold interest in the relevant property created by the applicable Master
Lease Agreement. The recording of each Memorand[um][a] of Lease in the office
designated in Exhibit A hereto is the only filing, recording or registration
              ---------
necessary to publish notice of the leasehold interest in the relevant Property
created by the applicable Master Lease Agreement.

                                       2
<PAGE>

          2. The Mortgage[s] constitute legal, valid and binding obligations
of each Vencor Company that is a party thereto, enforceable in accordance with
their respective terms.

          3. No authorizations, approvals or consents of, or filings or
registrations with, any governmental or regulatory authority or agency of or in
the State of [State] are necessary for the execution, delivery or performance by
each Vencor Company of either the Memorand[um][a] of Lease or the Mortgage[s],
to which such Vencor Company is a party except for authorizations, consents,
approvals that have already been obtained or filings that have already been made
and that remain in effect or the recordings and/or filings described on Exhibit
                                                                        -------
A.
-

          4. Each Mortgage creates a valid mortgage or deed of trust or deed
to secure debt lien on the relevant Vencor Company's interest in and to the
Mortgaged [Trust] Property described therein as constitutes real property under
the law of the State of [State] and a valid security interest in such of the
other Mortgaged [Trust] Property described therein (the "UCC Property") as is
subject to the provisions of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in
effect in the State of _______________ (the "UCC"), in each case in favor of the
Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and securing the Secured
Obligations. The recording of the Mortgage[s] in the office designated on
Exhibit A hereto and the filing of the Financing Statements in the offices
designated in Exhibit A hereto are the only filings, recordings and
registrations necessary to perfect, publish notice of and preserve the lien of
and security interest in the Mortgaged [Trust] Property created by the
Mortgage[s] and the UCC Property created by the Mortgage[s] and the Financing
Statements, except that (i) continuation statements relating to the Financing
Statements must be filed within _____________ [state time period], and (ii)
additional filings may be necessary with respect to the UCC Property if the
Company changes its name, identity or corporate structure or the jurisdiction in
which its places of business in the State of ___________ or the UCC Property are
located.

          The foregoing opinion is subject to the following qualifications:

          (vi)  The enforceability of the Mortgage[s] may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting
creditors' rights generally and by general equitable principles.

          (vii) We note the possible unenforceability in whole or in part of
certain remedial provisions of the Mortgage[s], although the inclusion of such
provisions does not render any Liens purported to be granted or created thereby
invalid, and the Mortgage[s] contain, in our judgment, adequate remedial

                                       3
<PAGE>

provisions for the practical realization of the principal rights and benefits
intended to be afforded thereby.

          (viii) The provisions of the Mortgage[s] that permit the secured
party thereunder to take actions or make determinations may be subject to
requirements that such actions or determinations be reasonable and taken in good
faith.

          (ix)   We express no opinion as to any regulatory scheme applicable
to, or any license or permit required in connection with, the business conducted
by any Vencor Company.

          (x)    We express no opinion as the right, title or interest of any
Vencor Company in or to any collateral or the value given therefor, and assume
that value is given.

          We are admitted to practice in the State of [State]. We express no
opinion as to matters under or involving the laws of any jurisdiction other than
the laws of the State of [State].

          This opinion may be relied upon by each of you, by your respective
successors and assigns, by the holders from time to time of the indebtedness
secured by the Mortgage[s].

                                             Very truly yours,

                                       4

                                                                    ATTACHMENT I

                                     FORM OF
                            SUBORDINATION PROVISIONS

     Description of [promissory note][Guarantee] to which this Attachment I is
affixed:

     ________________________________________________________________________

     ________________________________________________________________________

     Reference is made to the [promissory note][Guarantee] described above (the
"Subordinated [Note][Guarantee]") to which this Attachment I is affixed made by
Vencor, Inc. (to be renamed Kindred Healthcare, Inc.) (the
"[Issuer][Guarantor]") in favor of [  ] (the "Subordinated Lender"). Capitalized
terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement dated as of April 20, 2001 ("the
Credit Agreement") and entered into by and among Vencor Operating, Inc. (to be
renamed Kindred Healthcare Operating, Inc.) (the "Borrower"), the
[Issuer][Guarantor], the Lenders, Swingline Bank and LC Issuing Banks party
thereto, Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York as Collateral Agent and
Administrative Agent, and General Electric Capital Corporation, as Documentation
Agent and Collateral Monitoring Agent. References herein to the "Lenders"
includes Lenders under the Credit Agreement (the "Senior Lenders") and lenders
under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement (the "Second Priority Lenders").
References herein to "Senior Debt" means all Debt or obligations (whether in
existence on the Closing Date or arising afterwards, absolute or contingent,
direct or indirect) for or in respect of principal (when due, upon acceleration,
upon redemption, upon mandatory repayment or repurchase pursuant to a mandatory
offer to purchase, or otherwise), premium, interest, penalties, fees,
indemnification, reimbursement and other amounts payable and liabilities with
respect to Debt or amounts owing under the Credit Agreement, the Designated
Interest Rate Agreements and the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, including all
interest accrued or accruing after the commencement of any bankruptcy,
insolvency or reorganization or similar case or proceeding at the contract rate
(including, without limitation, any contract rate applicable upon default)
specified in the relevant documentation, whether or not the claim for such
interest is allowed as a claim in such case or proceeding.
<PAGE>

References to the "Controlling Agent" means, so long as any Senior Debt arising
under the Credit Agreement remains outstanding, the Administrative Agent and, at
any time thereafter, the administrative agent under the Senior Secured Credit
Agreement (the "Second Priority Administrative Agent"). References to the
 "Subordinated Lender" shall include each subsequent holder of the
Subordinated [Note][Guarantee], each of whom agrees to the provisions hereof by
its acceptance of the Subordinated [Note][Guarantee].

     Pursuant to the requirements of the Credit Agreement and the Senior Secured
Credit Agreement, the [Issuer][Guarantor] has unconditionally guaranteed all
Senior Debt arising under the Credit Agreement, the Designated Interest Rate
Agreements and the Senior Secured Credit Agreement pursuant to the Senior
Guarantees referred to below. The Senior Lenders have agreed to make loans to
the Borrower and the LC Issuing Banks referred to in the Credit Agreement have
agreed to issue letters of credit for the account of, among others, the
Borrower, upon the terms and subject to the conditions specified in the Credit
Agreement, and the Second Priority Lenders have agreed to accept notes under the
Senior Secured Credit Agreement in partial satisfaction of their Senior Debt
Claims (as defined therein), which in each case include the requirement that the
[Issuer's][Guarantor's] obligations under the Subordinated [Note][Guarantee] be
subordinated to its obligations under such Senior Guarantees as provided herein.
The Subordinated Lender has extended credit to [the Issuer pursuant to, and upon
the terms specified in, the Subordinated Note][a Vencor Unrestricted Subsidiary,
which extension of credit is Guaranteed by the Guarantor pursuant to, and upon
the terms specified in, the Subordinated Guarantee] (all obligations of the
[Issuer][Guarantor] in respect of the Subordinated [Note][Guarantee], the
"Subordinated Obligations"). The Subordinated Lender by its execution of this
Attachment I agrees (for itself and its successors and assigns) to subordinate
its rights under the Subordinated Obligations to the rights of the Lenders under
the Senior Guarantees.

     Therefore, in consideration of these premises, the [Issuer][Guarantor] and
the Subordinated Lender agree that the terms of the Subordinated
[Note][Guarantee] are hereby amended to incorporate the subordination provisions
that follow:

     1.   Agreement to Subordinate. The Subordinated Lender hereby agrees that
[the Debt evidenced by the Subordinated Notes][the obligations of the Guarantor
evidenced by the Subordinated Guarantee] shall be subordinated and junior in
right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Attachment I,
to the prior payment by the Guarantor of its obligations (the "Senior Guarantee
Obligations") under the Vencor Guaranty Agreement and the Vencor Guaranty
Agreement (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Agreement)

                                       2
<PAGE>

(together, the "Senior Guarantees"). The subordination provisions in this
Attachment I are for the benefit of and enforceable by holders of Senior Debt or
their representatives.

     2.   (a)  The [Issuer][Guarantor] shall not make any payment of any
Subordinated Obligations or any claim for rescission or damages in respect
thereof and shall not repay, repurchase, redeem or otherwise retire any
Subordinated Obligations (collectively, "pay the Subordinated Obligations") if
at any time any Senior Debt has not been paid when due, whether at maturity,
upon redemption or mandatory repurchase, acceleration, or otherwise, and the
default has not been cured or waived.

          (b)  During the continuance of any default (other than a default of
     the type described in clause (a)) with respect to any Senior Debt pursuant
     to which the maturity thereof may be accelerated immediately without
     further notice (except any notice that may be required to effect
     acceleration) or upon the expiration of a grace period, the
     [Issuer][Guarantor] may not make any payment of any Subordinated
     Obligations for a period (a "Payment Blockage Period"):

               (i)  commencing upon the receipt by the [Issuer][Guarantor] of
          written notice of default from any representative of holders of Senior
          Debt specifying an election to effect a Payment Blockage Period (a
          "Blockage Notice") and

               (ii) ending 360 days thereafter (or earlier if the Payment
          Blockage Period is terminated (A) by written notice to the
          [Issuer][Guarantor] from such representative, (B) by repayment in full
          of such Senior Debt or (C) because the default giving rise to the
          Blockage Notice is no longer continuing).

     Subject to clause (a) and the preceding paragraph, unless the holders of
     such Senior Debt have accelerated the maturity of such Senior Debt, the
     [Issuer][Guarantor] may resume payments on the Subordinated Obligations
     after the Payment Blockage Period.

          (c)  Not more than one Blockage Notice may be given in any consecutive
     545-day period, irrespective of the number of defaults with respect to
     Senior Debt during such period. No default which existed or was continuing
     on the date of the commencement of any Payment Blockage Period with respect
     to the Senior Debt whose holders initiated the Payment Blockage Period may
     be made the basis of the commencement of a subsequent Payment Blockage
     Period by the holders of such Senior Debt, whether or not within a period
     of 545 consecutive

                                       3
<PAGE>

     days, unless the default has been cured or waived for a period of not less
     than 90 consecutive days.

          (d)  The Subordinated Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative
     Agent and the Second Priority Administrative Agent of any default under the
     Subordinated [Note][Guarantee].

     3.   Liquidation, Dissolution, Bankruptcy. Upon any payment or distribution
of the assets of the [Issuer][Guarantor] to creditors upon a total or partial
liquidation or a total or partial dissolution of the [Issuer][Guarantor] or in a
bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding
relating to the [Issuer][Guarantor] or its property:

          (a)  holders of Senior Debt are entitled to receive payment in full in
     cash of all amounts then due in respect of Senior Guarantee Obligations,
     including all interest accrued or accruing on Senior Debt after the
     commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or similar
     case or proceeding in respect of the Borrower or the [Issuer][Guarantor] at
     the contract rate (including, without limitation, any contract rate
     applicable upon default) specified in the relevant documentation, whether
     or not the claim for the interest is allowed as a claim in the case or
     proceeding with respect to the Senior Debt (only such payment constituting
     "payment in full") before the Subordinated Lender will be entitled to
     receive any payment on account of the Subordinated Obligations; and

          (b)  until the Senior Debt is paid in full, any payment or
     distribution to which the Subordinated Lender would be entitled but for
     these subordination provisions shall instead be made to holders of Senior
     Debt or their representatives as their interests may appear.

     4.   Forbearance. (a) The Subordinated Lender agrees not to ask, demand,
sue for or take or receive from the [Issuer][Guarantor] in cash or other
property or by setoff, purchase or redemption (including, without limitation,
from or by way of collateral), payment of all or any part of the Subordinated
Obligations and agrees that in connection with any proceeding involving the
Borrower or the [Issuer][Guarantor] under any Federal or state bankruptcy,
insolvency, receivership or similar law (i) the Controlling Agent is irrevocably
authorized and empowered (in its own name or in the name of the Subordinated
Lender or otherwise), but shall have no obligation, to demand, sue for, collect
and receive every payment or distribution referred to in the preceding sentence
and give acquittance therefor and to file claims and proofs of claim after the
Subordinated Lender has failed to make claims or proofs of claims in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Controlling Agent prior to the date
which is 30 days before the relevant bar date, as the Controlling Agent may deem

                                       4
<PAGE>

necessary or advisable for the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights or
interests of the Lenders and (ii) the Subordinated Lender shall duly and
promptly take such action as the Controlling Agent may request to (A) collect
amounts in respect of the Subordinated Obligations for the account of the
Lenders and to file appropriate claims or proofs of claim in respect of the
Subordinated Obligations, (B) execute and deliver to the Controlling Agent such
irrevocable powers of attorney, assignments or other instruments as the
Controlling Agent may request in order to enable the Controlling Agent to
enforce any and all claims with respect to, and any security and other Liens
securing payment of, the Subordinated Obligations and (C) collect and receive
any and all payments or distributions which may be payable or deliverable upon
or with respect to the Subordinated Obligations. A copy of these subordination
provisions may be filed with any court as evidence of the Controlling Agent's
power and authority hereunder.

          (b)  Without the prior written consent of the Controlling Agent, the
     [Issuer][Guarantor] will not give, or permit to be given, and the
     Subordinated Lender will not receive, accept or demand, (i) any security of
     any nature whatsoever for any Subordinated Obligations on any property or
     assets, whether now existing or hereafter acquired, of the
     [Issuer][Guarantor] or any Affiliate of the [Issuer][Guarantor] (other than
     a Vencor Unrestricted Subsidiary) or (ii) any Guarantee (other than the
     Subordinated Guarantee), of any nature whatsoever, by the
     [Issuer][Guarantor] or any Affiliate of the [Issuer][Guarantor] (other than
     by a Vencor Unrestricted Subsidiary), of any Subordinated Obligations.

          (c)  The Subordinated Lender waives the right to compel that the
     Collateral or any other property of the [Issuer][Guarantor] or the property
     of any Guarantor or any other Person be applied in any particular order to
     discharge the Senior Debt. The Subordinated Lender expressly waives the
     right to require the Lenders to proceed against the [Issuer][Guarantor],
     the Collateral or any Guarantor or any other Person, or to pursue any other
     remedy in any Lender's power which the Subordinated Lender cannot pursue
     and which would lighten the Subordinated Lender's burden, notwithstanding
     that the failure of any Lender to do so may thereby prejudice the
     Subordinated Lender. The Subordinated Lender agrees that it shall not be
     discharged, exonerated or have its obligations hereunder to the Lenders
     reduced by any Lender's delay in proceeding against or enforcing any remedy
     against the [Issuer][Guarantor], the Collateral or any Guarantor or any
     other Person; by any Lender releasing the [Issuer][Guarantor], the
     Collateral or any Guarantor or any other Person from all or any part of the
     Senior Debt; or by the discharge of the [Issuer][Guarantor], the Collateral
     or any Guarantor or any other Person by operation of law or otherwise, with
     or without the intervention or omission

                                       5
<PAGE>

     of a Lender. Any Lender's vote to accept or reject any plan of
     reorganization relating to the [Issuer][Guarantor], the Collateral, or any
     Guarantor or any other Person, or any Lender's receipt on account of all or
     part of the Senior Debt of any cash, property, or securities distributed in
     any bankruptcy, reorganization, or insolvency case, shall not discharge,
     exonerate, or reduce the obligations of the Subordinated Lender hereunder
     to the Lenders.

          (d)  The Subordinated Lender waives all rights and defenses arising
     out of an election of remedies by any Lenders, even though that election of
     remedies, including without limitation any nonjudicial foreclosure with
     respect to security for the Senior Debt, has impaired the value of the
     Subordinated Lender's rights of subrogation, reimbursement, or contribution
     against the [Issuer][Guarantor] or any Guarantor or any other Person. The
     Subordinated Lender expressly waives any rights or defenses it may have by
     reason of protection afforded to the [Issuer][Guarantor] or any Guarantor
     or any other Person with respect to the Senior Debt pursuant to any anti-
     deficiency laws or other laws of similar import which limit or discharge
     the principal debtor's indebtedness upon judicial or nonjudicial
     foreclosure of real property or personal property Collateral for the Senior
     Debt.

          (e)  The Subordinated Lender agrees that, without the necessity of any
     reservation of rights against it, and without notice to or further assent
     by it, any demand for payment of any Senior Debt made by a Lender may be
     rescinded in whole or in part by the Lender, and any Senior Debt may be
     continued, and the Senior Debt, or the liability of the Borrower, the
     [Issuer][Guarantor] or any other Guarantor or any other party upon or for
     any part thereof, or any Collateral or Guarantee therefor or right of
     offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part,
     be renewed, extended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived,
     surrendered, by the Lenders, in each case without notice to or further
     assent by the Subordinated Lender, which will remain bound under these
     subordination provisions and without impairing, abridging, releasing or
     affecting the subordination provided for herein.

     5.   When distribution must be paid over. If a payment or other
distribution is made on account of the Subordinated Obligations to the
Subordinated Lender that because of these subordination provisions should not
have been made to it, the Subordinated Lender shall hold it in trust for holders
of Senior Debt or their representatives and pay it over to them as their
interests may appear.

                                       6
<PAGE>

     6.   Subrogation. A distribution made under these subordination provisions
to holders of Senior Debt which otherwise would have been made to the
Subordinated Lender is not, as between the [Issuer][Guarantor] and the
Subordinated Lender, a payment by the [Issuer][Guarantor] on its Senior
Guarantee Obligations. After all Senior Guarantee Obligations are paid in full
the Subordinated Lender will be subrogated to the rights of holders of Senior
Debt to receive payments in respect of Senior Guarantee Obligations, which, to
the extent received by the Subordinated Lender, do not constitute, as between
the [Issuer][Guarantor] and the Subordinated Lender, payments by the
[Issuer][Guarantor] on any Subordinated Obligation.

     7.   Relative Rights; Subordination Not to Prevent Events of Default or
Limit Right to Accelerate. These subordination provisions define the relative
rights of the Subordinated Lender and holders of Senior Debt and do not impair,
as between the [Issuer][Guarantor] and the Subordinated Lender, the obligation
of [Issuer][Guarantor], which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the
Subordinated Lender the Subordinated Obligations in accordance with their terms.
The failure to make a payment pursuant to the Subordinated Obligations does not
prevent the occurrence of a default, nor do these subordination provisions have
any effect on the right of the Subordinated Lender to exercise its remedies upon
a default, subject to the rights of holders of Senior Debt, if any, to receive
distributions otherwise payable to the Subordinated Lender under this Attachment
I.

     8.   Subordination May Not Be Impaired by the [Issuer][Guarantor]. No right
of any holder of Senior Debt to enforce the subordination as provided herein
will be impaired by any act or failure to act by the [Issuer][Guarantor] or by
its failure to comply with these provisions.

     9.   Distributions and Notices to, and Notices and Consents by,
Representatives of Holders of Senior Debt. Whenever a distribution is to be made
or a notice given to holders of Senior Debt, the distribution may be made and
the notice given to the Controlling Agent, with a copy of any such notice to the
Administrative Agent or the Second Priority Administrative Agent if it is not
the same person as the Controlling Agent. Notices or consents under this
Agreement from holders of Senior Debt under the Credit Agreement may be given
only by the Administrative Agent and from holders of Senior Debt under the
Senior Secured Credit Agreement may be given only by the Second Priority
Administrative Agent. If conflicting notices, instructions, requests, consents
or other communications are received from the Administrative Agent and the
Second Priority Administrative Agent, the notice, instruction, request or
consent or other communication from the Administrative Agent shall prevail.

     10.  Reliance by Holders of Senior Debt on Subordination Provisions; No
Waiver. (a) Each Subordinated Lender by accepting the Subordinated
[Note][Guarantee] acknowledges and agrees that these subordination provisions
are, and are intended to be, an inducement and a consideration to each holder of
Senior Debt, whether created or acquired before or after the issuance of the
Subordinated [Note][Guarantee], to acquire or to hold such Senior Debt, and each
holder of Senior Debt will be deemed conclusively to have relied on these
subordination provisions in acquiring and holding such Senior Debt.

          (b)  The holders of Senior Debt may, at any time and from time to
     time, without the consent of or notice to the Subordinated Lender, without
     incurring any liability or responsibility to the Subordinated Lender, and
     without impairing the rights of holders of Senior Debt under these
     subordination provisions, do any of the following:

               (i)   change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the
          time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Debt or the Senior
          Guarantee Obligations or any instrument evidencing the same or any
          agreement under which Senior Debt or the Senior Guarantee Obligations
          is outstanding or secured;

               (ii)  sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property
          pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior Debt or the Senior
          Guarantee Obligations;

               (iii) release any Person liable in any manner for the payment of
          Senior Debt or the Senior Guarantee Obligations; or

               (iv)  exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the
          [Issuer][Guarantor] and any other Person.

     11.  Waiver of Claims. (a) To the maximum extent permitted by law, the
Subordinated Lender waives any claim it might have against any Lender with
respect to, or arising out of, any action or failure to act or any error of
judgment, negligence, or mistake or oversight whatsoever on the part of any
Lender or its directors, officers, employees or agents (including, without
limitation, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Senior Secured
Administrative Agent and the Senior Secured Collateral Agent) with respect to
any exercise of rights or remedies under the loan documents relating to the
Senior Debt or any transaction relating to the Collateral. Neither the Lenders
nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall be
liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or
any Guarantee or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to
sell or otherwise dispose of

                                       8
<PAGE>

any Collateral upon the request of the Borrower, the [Issuer][Guarantor], or any
of the Subsidiaries or the Subordinated Lender or any other Person or to take
any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof or
any Guarantee.

          (b)  The Subordinated Lender, for itself and on behalf of its
     successors and assigns, hereby waives any and all now existing or hereafter
     arising rights it may have to require the Lenders to marshal assets for the
     benefit of the Subordinated Lender, or to otherwise direct the timing,
     order or manner of any sale, collection or other enforcement of Collateral
     or enforcement of loan documents relating to the Senior Debt or the Senior
     Guarantee Obligations. The Lenders are under no duty or obligation, and the
     Subordinated Lender hereby waives any right it may have to compel the
     Lenders, to pursue any Guarantor or other Person who may be liable for the
     Senior Debt, or to enforce any Lien or Security Interest in any Collateral.

          (c)  The Subordinated Lender hereby waives and releases all rights
     which a guarantor or surety with respect to the Senior Debt could exercise.

          (d)  The Subordinated Lender hereby waives any duty on the part of the
     Lenders to disclose to the Subordinated Lender any fact known or hereafter
     known by the Lenders relating to the operation or financial condition of
     the Borrower, the [Issuer][Guarantor] or any Guarantor, or their respective
     businesses. The Subordinated Lender accepts the Subordinated
     [Note][Guarantee] based solely upon its independent knowledge of the
     Borrower's, the [Issuer's][Guarantor's] and the Subsidiaries' financial
     condition and business and the Subordinated Lender assumes responsibility
     for obtaining any further or future information with respect to the
     Borrower, the [Issuer][Guarantor] and the Subsidiaries or their financial
     condition or business.

     12.  Further Assurances. The Subordinated Lender and the
[Issuer][Guarantor] at their own expense and at any time from time to time, upon
the written request of the Controlling Agent will promptly and duly execute and
deliver such further instruments and documents and take such further actions as
the Controlling Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of obtaining or
preserving the full benefits of these subordination provisions and of the rights
and powers herein granted.

     13.  Powers Coupled with an Interest. All powers, authorizations and
agencies contained in these subordination provisions are coupled with an
interest and are irrevocable until the Senior Debt is paid in full.

     14.  Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon any party hereto
shall be in writing and shall be given in the manner provided in Section 11.01
of the Credit Agreement or Section 12.01 of the Senior Secured Credit Agreement.

     15.  Severability. Any provision of this Attachment I which is prohibited
or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

     16.  Amendments in Writing; No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. (a) None of the
terms or provisions of these subordination provisions may be waived, amended,
supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by
the Controlling Agent, the [Issuer][Guarantor] and the Subordinated Lender;
provided that any provision of these subordination provisions may be waived by
the Lenders in a letter or agreement executed by each Lender or by facsimile
transmission from each Lender.

          (b)  No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part
     of the Lenders, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a
     waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or
     privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
     the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

                                       10

     or remedies provided by law.

provisions are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the
construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THE SUBORDINATED [NOTE][GUARANTEE] OR THIS ATTACHMENT I. EACH PARTY

CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 18.

     19.  Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. THE SUBORDINATED
[NOTE][GUARANTEE] AND THIS ATTACHMENT I AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE
PARTIES THEREUNDER AND HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED
AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
(INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK), WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES. SUBJECT TO THE
JURISDICTION OF THE COURT, EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY SUBMITS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE
JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF
NEW YORK AND OF ANY NEW YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN NEW YORK CITY FOR PURPOSES
OF ALL LEGAL PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS ATTACHMENT I. EACH
PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY

                             ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT

         This ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is entered into by and
between the parties designated as Assignor ("Assignor") and Assignee
("Assignee") above the signatures of such parties on the Schedule of Terms
attached hereto and hereby made an integral part hereof (the "Schedule of
Terms") and relates to that certain Credit Agreement described in the Schedule
of Terms (said Credit Agreement, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified
to the date hereof and as it may hereafter be amended, supplemented or otherwise
modified from time to time, being the "Credit Agreement", the terms defined
therein and not otherwise defined herein being used herein as therein defined).

         IN CONSIDERATION of the agreements, provisions and covenants herein
contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

         SECTION 1. Assignment and Assumption.
                    -------------------------

         (a) Effective upon the Settlement Date specified in Item 4 of the
Schedule of Terms (the "Settlement Date"), Assignor hereby sells and assigns to
Assignee, without recourse, representation or warranty (except as expressly set
forth herein), and Assignee hereby purchases and assumes from Assignor, that
percentage interest in all of Assignor's rights and obligations as a Lender
arising under the Credit Agreement and the other Financing Documents with
respect to Assignor's Commitment and outstanding Loans, if any, which
represents, as of the Settlement Date, the percentage interest specified in Item
3 of the Schedule of Terms of all rights and obligations of Lenders arising
under the Credit Agreement and the other Financing Documents with respect to the
Commitments and any outstanding Loans (the "Assigned Share"). Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the parties hereto hereby expressly acknowledge
and agree that any assignment of all or any portion of Assignor's rights and
obligations relating to Assignor's Commitments shall include (i) in the event
Assignor is an LC Issuing Bank with respect to any outstanding Letters of Credit
(any such Letters of Credit being "Assignor Letters of Credit") the sale to
Assignee of a participation in the Assignor Letters of Credit and any drawings
thereunder as contemplated by subsection 2.07(a) of the Credit Agreement, (ii)
the sale to Assignee of a ratable portion of any participations previously
purchased by Assignor pursuant to said subsection 2.07(a) with respect to any
Letters of Credit other than the Assignor Letters of Credit and (iii) the sale
to Assignee of a ratable portion of any payment to be made to the Swingline
Bank, and of any participations previously purchased, by Assignor pursuant to
Section 2.08(i) of the Credit Agreement.
<PAGE>

         (b) In consideration of the assignment described above, Assignee hereby
agrees to pay to Assignor, on the Settlement Date, the principal amount of any
outstanding Loans included within the Assigned Share, such payment to be made by
wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the applicable
payment instructions set forth in Item 5 of the Schedule of Terms.

         (c) Assignor hereby represents and warrants that Item 3 of the Schedule
of Terms correctly sets forth the amount of the Commitment and the Percentage of
Assignee after giving effect to the assignment and assumption described above.

         (d) Assignor and Assignee hereby agree that, upon giving effect to the
assignment and assumption described above, (i) Assignee shall be a party to the
Credit Agreement and shall have all of the rights and obligations under the
Financing Documents, and shall be deemed to have made all of the covenants and
agreements contained in the Financing Documents, arising out of or otherwise
related to the Assigned Share and (ii) Assignor shall be absolutely released
from any of such obligations, covenants and agreements assumed or made by
Assignee in respect of the Assigned Share. Assignee hereby acknowledges and
agrees that the agreement set forth in this Section 1(d) is expressly made for
the benefit of the Borrower, Vencor, the Administrative Agent, the Assignor, the
Lenders, the Swingline Bank and the LC Issuing Banks and their respective
successors and permitted assigns.

         (e) Assignor and Assignee hereby acknowledge and confirm their
understanding and intent that (i) this Agreement shall effect the assignment by
Assignor and the assumption by Assignee of Assignor's rights and obligations
with respect to the Assigned Share, (ii) any other assignments by Assignor of a
portion of its rights and obligations with respect to the Commitments and any
outstanding Loans shall have no effect on the Commitments and the Percentage of
Assignee set forth in Item 3 of the Schedule of Terms or on the interest of
Assignee in any outstanding Loans corresponding thereto, and (iii) from and
after the Settlement Date, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments
under the Credit Agreement in respect of the Assigned Share (including without
limitation all payments of principal and accrued but unpaid interest, commitment
fees and letter of credit fees with respect thereto) (A) in the case of any such
interest and fees that shall have accrued prior to the Settlement Date, to
Assignor, and (B) in all other cases, to Assignee; provided that Assignor and
Assignee shall make payments directly to each other to the extent necessary to
effect any appropriate adjustments in any amounts distributed to Assignor and/or
Assignee by the Administrative Agent under the Financing Documents in respect of
the Assigned Share in the event that, for any reason whatsoever, the payment of
consideration contemplated by Section 1(b) occurs on a date other than the
Settlement Date.

certificates or any other documents furnished or made by Assignor to Assignee or
by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of the Guarantors to Assignor or Assignee

thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of the Borrower or
any other Person liable for the payments of any Obligations, nor shall Assignor

of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreement contained in any of
the Financing Documents or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans, Swingline

         (c) Assignee represents and warrants that it is an Eligible Assignee;

present intention of selling all or any portion of such interest; and that it
has received, reviewed and approved a copy of the Credit Agreement (including
all Exhibits and Schedules thereto).

         (d) Assignee represents and warrants that it has received from Assignor
such financial information regarding the Borrower and the Guarantors as is
available to Assignor and as Assignee has requested, that it has made its own
independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower
and the Guarantors in connection with the assignment evidenced by this
Agreement, and that it has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of
the creditworthiness of the Borrower and the Guarantors. Assignor shall have no
duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any
such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of Assignee or to provide
Assignee with any other credit or other information with respect thereto,
whether coming into its possession before the making of the initial Loans or at
any time or times thereafter, and Assignor shall not have any responsibility
with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided
to Assignee.

                                        3

hereof, that this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by
such party and that this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding

                    -------------

request of the other such party hereto, to take such additional actions and to
execute and deliver such additional documents and instruments as such other
party may reasonably request to effect the transactions contemplated by, and to
carry out the intent of, this Agreement.

         (b) Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed, waived,
discharged or terminated, except by an instrument in writing signed by the party
(including, if applicable, any party required to evidence its consent to or
acceptance of this Agreement) against whom enforcement of such change, waiver,
discharge or termination is sought.

         (c) Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice or other

be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such
provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby.

benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
