     partial year, it shall be annualized. If the previous year's Base Rent

Title Insurance Requirements

1. "Title Policy" means a title insurance policy in American Land Title
Association ("ALTA") 1992 form, or such other form as may be approved by MPT,
issued by a title insurer approved by MPT with reinsurance as required by MPT to
be on ALTA Facultative Reinsurance Agreement (rev 4/6/90) such that the maximum
single risk assumed by any single title insurer may not exceed 25% of that
company's capital, surplus, and statutory reserves. Each title insurer issuing
insurance required hereby must be licensed to insure properties in the
jurisdiction in which the Facility is located.

2. The amount of the owner's title insurance policy on each Facility must equal
the Purchase Price. The policy must insure against all standard exceptions
(e.g., parties in possession, matters shown on public records, matters which an
accurate survey would show, and real estate taxes currently due) and must be
effective as of the date of the Closing. The title policy must include such
affirmative insurance endorsements as MPT may require, to the extent not
prohibited by the laws or insurance regulations of the state where the facility
is located, including, without limitation, a zoning compliance endorsement, a
street access endorsement, a comprehensive (ALTA Form 9) endorsement, a
"Fairways" (change of partners) endorsement, an endorsement negating imputation
of knowledge to MPT, an endorsement that the Facility is assessed for real
estate taxes separate from any other property (i.e., the property consists of a
single tax lot and is not part of a larger tax lot).
