              (e)    The Borrowers shall furnish to the Administrative Agent
such schedules, certificates, lists, records, reports, information and documents
as required by the Administrative Agent from time to time so that the
Administrative Agent may, in its reasonable discretion, determine the Borrowing
Base.

              (f)    If at any time the aggregate principal amount of the Loan
outstanding and the Outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations exceeds the
Borrowing Base, a borrowing base deficiency ("Borrowing Base Deficiency") shall
exist. Each time a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists, the Borrowers shall within
three (3) Banking Days of notice thereof from the Administrative Agent either
pay the amount and/or add Eligible Projects to increase the Borrowing Base to an
amount which is at least equal to the aggregate principal amount outstanding
under the Loan and the Outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations.

              (g)    The current Borrowing Base Report is attached hereto as
EXHIBIT C.

              (h)    As of the date hereof the Borrower has designated and the
Lenders have accepted certain Facilities into the Borrowing Base as Eligible
Projects. This Agreement shall govern the procedures for verification by the
Administrative Agent of Costs Incurred to Date on each Eligible Project. This
Agreement shall also govern the terms, conditions and procedures under which
Eligible Projects may be added to the Borrowing Base.

              (i)    The Borrower will give notice to the Administrative Agent
in writing in advance of its intention to add a particular Facility as an
Eligible Project under the Credit Facility. Each Total Development Budget for an
Eligible Project shall include an interest reserve (the "Interest Reserve"), and
Operating Reserve, a hard cost contingency reserve of not less than five percent
(5%) of the total budgeted construction costs and a development fee payable to
SDI (the "Development Fee") and shall demonstrate to the Agent's satisfaction in
its sole discretion that the Eligible Project will be designated as a Pool A
Project.

       Section 2.2 Procedure for Advances

              (a)    The Administrative Agent will make advances from time to
time upon receipt of written request from the Borrowers in the form designated
by the Administrative Agent, provided that after giving effect to the Borrowers'
request, the outstanding principal

                                       23
<PAGE>   30

balance of the Loan would not exceed the lesser of the Credit Facility Committed
Amount or the Borrowing Base minus the aggregate face amounts of all Letters of
Credit outstanding. Each advance under the Loan shall be in an amount of not
less than $1,000,000, and in increments of $250,000 in excess thereof. Advances
or the renewal of a Eurodollar Period shall be requested by the Borrowers orally
or in writing by 10:00 A.M. (Baltimore time) three (3) Banking Days prior to the
Banking Day on which the funds will be advanced. The Borrowers shall advise the
Administrative Agent at the time of such notice which Eurodollar Period they are
selecting. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to make any advance
if at the time such advance is requested and/or is proposed to be funded, there
exists an Event of Default or an event which upon notice or lapse of time or
both would constitute an Event of Default under the Financing Documents. If the
Borrowers fail to advise the Administrative Agent three (3) Banking Days in
advance of the expiration of a Eurodollar Period of its intention to either pay
off such portion of the Loan or renew the applicable Eurodollar Period, it shall
be assumed by the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Period is to be
renewed.

              (b)    In addition, if the Administrative Agent has reason to
believe a Default or an Event of Default has occurred, the Borrowers hereby
irrevocably authorize the Lenders to make advances of the Loan at any time and
from time to time, without further request from or notice to the Borrowers,
which the Lenders, in their sole and absolute discretion, deem necessary or
appropriate to protect the Lenders' interests under this Agreement or otherwise,
including, without limitation, advances of the Loan made to cover interest on
the Loan, fees, and/or Enforcement Costs, prior to, on, or after the termination
of this Agreement, regardless of whether the aggregate amount of the advances of
the Loan which the Lenders may make hereunder exceeds the Credit Facility
Committed Amount. The Lenders shall have no obligation whatsoever to make any
advance under this subsection and the making of one or more advances under this
subsection shall not obligate the Lenders to make other similar advances. Any
such advances will be evidenced by the Note secured by the Collateral and the
Deeds of Trust.

       Section 2.3 Fees

       The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent the following fees:

              (a)    Unused Line Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders beginning on the date set
forth below a quarterly revolving credit facility fee (the "Unused Line Fee") in
an amount equal to twenty-five (25) basis points per annum of the average
undisbursed portion of the "Unused Commitment Amount" for the applicable quarter
specified in the right-hand column below. The accrued and unpaid portion of the
Unused Line Fee shall be paid by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent as of
the Credit Facility Closing Date and on the first day of each fiscal quarter and
on the Revolving Credit Termination Date. For purposes hereof "Average
Outstandings" shall mean the average daily principal under the Note plus the
average daily principal amount of the aggregate face amounts of the Letters of
Credit for the quarter then ended.

            Period                             Unused Commitment Amount
            ------                             ------------------------

                                       24
<PAGE>   31

 Quarter ending 3/31/2000                      $300,000,000 less the Average
                                               Outstandings

Quarter ending 6/30/2000                       $350,000,000 less the Average
                                               Oustandings

 Quarter ending 9/30/2000 and                  Credit Facility Committed
 each fiscal quarter there-                    Amount less the Average
 after                                         Outstandings

              (b)    Appraisal Fees. Upon the receipt of an appraiser's invoice
from the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall pay the fee of the appraiser
for an Eligible Project.

              (c)    Extension Fee. In the event the Revolving Credit Expiration
Date of the Credit Facility is extended for a twelve-month period pursuant to
the terms of Section 2.5 Extensions

       Section 2.4 Interest Rate Matters

              (a)    Lender Tax Adjustment. Each payment made by the Borrowers
under the Note shall either (i) be exempt from, and be made without reduction by
reason of, any Lender Tax or (ii) to the extent that any such payment shall be
subject to any Lender Tax, be accompanied by an additional payment by the
Borrowers of such amount as may be necessary so that the net amount received by
each Lender (after deducting all applicable Taxes) is the same as such Lender
would have received had such payment not been subject to such Lender Tax. Upon
any payment of Lender Tax by the Borrowers, the Borrowers shall promptly (and in
any event within 30 days) furnish to the Administrative Agent and applicable
Lender such tax receipts, certificates an other evidence of such payment as the
Borrowers may have or the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender may
reasonably request.

              (b)    Inability to Determine Eurodollar Rate. In the event that
the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive
absent manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the London
interbank market, quotation of Eurodollar Rates for any portion of the Note are
not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for
the purpose of determining a Eurodollar Rate for any portion of the principal
sum, the Administrative Agent will give notice of such determination to the
Borrowers and each Lender at least one day prior to the date of an advance or
any subsequent Eurodollar Period for the Loan. If any such notice is given, no
Lender shall have any obligation to make any advance or maintain any principal
sum outstanding at a Eurodollar Rate. Until the earlier of the date any such
notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent or the date when the
Lenders and the Borrowers have mutually agreed upon an alternate method of
determining the rates of interest payable on the Loan, as the case may be, the
Borrowers shall not have the right to have additional advances or maintain any
portion of the Credit Facility at a Eurodollar Rate, whereupon the Lenders and
the Borrowers shall mutually agree upon an alternate method of

                                       25
<PAGE>   32

determining the rates of interest payable on the Loan or such Lender's portion
of the principal outstanding under all the Note shall be immediately due and
payable.

              (c)    Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of the
Financing Documents to the contrary, in the event that it shall become unlawful
for any Lender to obtain funds in the London interbank market or for such Lender
to maintain the Loan at the Eurodollar Rate, then, by written notice to the
Borrowers and to the Administrative Agent, such Lender may declare that advances
will not thereafter be made or the Loan maintained by such Lender hereunder at
the Eurodollar Rate, whereupon the Lenders and the Borrowers shall mutually
agree upon an alternate method of determining the rates of interest payable on
the Loan or such Lender's portion of the principal outstanding under the Note
shall be immediately due and payable.

              (d)    Increased Costs and Reduced Return.

                     (i) If any event shall occur (whether in the form of a
              reserve requirement (not included in the definition of the
              Eurodollar Rate), exchange control regulations, governmental
              charges, compliance with any guideline or request from any central
              bank or other Governmental Authority, changes in the London
              interbank market or the position of any Lender in such market or
              otherwise) and the result of any such event is, in such Lender's
              reasonable judgment, to increase the costs which such Lender
              determines are attributable to its making or maintaining the Loan
              at the Eurodollar Rate in excess of those costs already in effect
              as of July 1, 1999, or its obligation to make available the Loan
              at the Eurodollar Rate or to reduce the amount of any sum received
              or receivable by such Lender under the Note, then, within ten (10)
              days after demand by such Lender, Borrowers hereby agree to pay to
              such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
              such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.

                     (ii) In addition to any amounts payable pursuant to Section
              (i), if any Lender shall have determined that the applicability of
              any law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted pursuant to or
              arising out of the July 1988 report of the Basle Committee on
              Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices entitled
              "International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital
              Standards," or the adoption after the date hereof of any other
              law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or
              any change in any of the foregoing or in the enforcement or
              interpretation or administration of any of the foregoing by any
              court or any central bank or other Governmental Authority, charged
              with the enforcement or interpretation or administration thereof,
              or compliance by such Lender (or any lending office of such
              Lender) or such Lender's holding company with 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 such Lender's capital or on the capital of such Lender's
              holding company, if any, as a consequence of its making or
              maintaining the Loan or its incurring any obligations under this

                                       26
<PAGE>   33

              Agreement to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender's
              holding company could have achieved but for such applicability,
              adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such
              Lender's policies and the policies of such Lender's holding
              company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by
              such Lender to be material, then, upon demand by such Lender, the
              Borrowers hereby agree to pay to such Lender from time to time
              such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender
              or such Lender's holding company for any such reduction suffered.

              (e)    Notice of Amounts Payable to Lenders. If any Lender shall
seek payment of any amounts from Borrowers pursuant to this Section or under
Section 2.4 Interest Rate Matters, it shall notify the Borrowers and the
Administrative Agent of the amount payable by the Borrowers to such Lender
hereunder. A certificate of such Lender seeking payment setting forth in
reasonable detail the factual basis for and the computation of the amount
specified, shall be conclusive and binding on all parties for all purposes,
absent manifest error, as to the amounts owned. The Borrowers' obligations under
this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment
of the Obligations.

              (f)    Change in Basis Point Spread. Any change in the basis point
margin added to the Eurodollar Rate based on a change in the rating pursuant to
the terms of the Note shall take effect one (1) Banking Day following notice by
the Administrative Agent to the Lenders of such rate change.

       Section 2.5 Extensions

       At any time not later than thirty (30) days nor earlier than one hundred
twenty (120) days prior to the Revolving Credit Expiration Date or any
anniversary of the Facility Closing, the Borrowers may request that the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, in their sole discretion, may agree to
extend the Revolving Credit Expiration Date one or more times for a period of
twelve (12) months each.

       Section 2.6 The Letter of Credit Facility

              (a)    Letters of Credit. Subject to and upon the provisions of
this Agreement, and as a part of the Credit Facility Committed Amount, the
Borrower may, upon the prior approval of the Administrative Agent, obtain
standby letters of credit (as the same may from time to time be amended,
supplemented or otherwise modified, each a "Letter of Credit" and collectively
the "Letters of Credit") from any Lender selected by the Borrowers from time to
time until the Banking Day preceding the Revolving Credit Termination Date. Each
Letter of Credit shall be issued for a business purpose of any Borrower, SALI or
any Affiliate, provided that one or more Borrowers is a co-obligor with SALI or
any Affiliate for the Obligations arising under such Letter of Credit and
executes the applicable Letter of Credit Application to evidence such liability.
The Borrower will not be entitled to obtain a Letter of Credit hereunder unless
(a) after giving effect to the request, the outstanding principal balance of the
Loan and of the Letter of Credit Obligations would not exceed the lesser of (i)
the Credit Facility Amount, or (ii) the most

                                       27
<PAGE>   34

current Borrowing Base and (b) the sum of the aggregate face amount of the then
outstanding Letters of Credit (including the face amount of the requested Letter
of Credit) does not exceed Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000).

              (b)    Letter of Credit Fees. Prior to or simultaneously with the
opening of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative
Agent or the other issuing Lender for the benefit of all the Lenders, a letter
of credit fee (each a "Letter of Credit Fee" and collectively the "Letter of
Credit Fees") in an amount equal to eighty (80) basis points per annum of the
amount of the Letter of Credit and a facing fee of 1/8th of 1% of the amount of
the Letter of Credit for the benefit of the issuing Lender only. The Letter of
Credit Fee but not the facing fee will be pro-rated if the initial term of a
Letter of Credit is less than twelve (12) months. Such Letter of Credit Fees
shall be paid upon the opening of the Letter of Credit and upon each anniversary
thereof, if any. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender any and all
additional issuance, negotiation, processing, transfer or other fees to the
extent and as and when required by the provisions of any Letter of Credit
Agreement; such additional fees are included in and a part of the "Fees" payable
by the Borrower under the provisions of this Agreement.

              (c)    Terms of Letters of Credit. Each Letter of Credit shall (a)
be opened pursuant to a Letter of Credit Agreement, and (b) expire on a date not
later than the Banking Day preceding the Revolving Credit Expiration Date;
provided, however, if any Letter of Credit does have an expiration date later
than the Banking Day preceding the Revolving Credit Termination Date, as of the
Banking Day preceding the Revolving Credit Termination Date an advance of the
Loan shall be made by the Lender in the face amount of such Letter of Credit (or
Letters of Credit) and the proceeds thereof shall be deposited in an account
titled in the name of the Administrative Agent as trustee for the Borrower. The
proceeds of the trustee account referred to in the immediately preceding
sentence shall be held as collateral for the Letter of Credit (or Letters of
Credit) and in the event of a draw under the Letter of Credit (or Letters of
Credit), used to pay any such draw. The aggregate face amount of all Letters of
Credit at any one time outstanding and issued by the Administrative Agent or any
other Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, plus the amount of
any unpaid Letter of Credit Fees accrued or scheduled to accrue thereon, and
less the aggregate amount of all drafts issued under or purporting to have been
issued under such Letters of Credit that have been paid by the Administrative
Agent or any other Lender, is herein called the "Outstanding Letter of Credit
Obligations".

              (d)    Procedure for Letters of Credit. The Borrower shall give
the Administrative Agent written notice at least two (2) Banking Days prior to
the date on which a Letter of Credit is requested to be opened of their request
for a Letter of Credit. Such notice shall specify if a Lender other than the
Administrative Agent is requested to be the issuing bank for such Letter of
Credit shall be accompanied by a duly executed and delivered Letter of Credit
Agreement. Upon receipt of the Letter of Credit Agreement and the Letter of
Credit Fee, the Administrative Agent or other issuing Lender shall process such
Letter of Credit Agreement in accordance with its customary procedures and open
such Letter of Credit on the Banking Day specified in such notice.

       Section 2.7 Permitted Costs

                                       28
<PAGE>   35

       Advances under the Borrowing Base shall be made available by the Lenders
pursuant to a Borrowing Base Report issued quarterly by the Administrative Agent
or more frequently in the Administrative Agent's discretion and certified by the
Borrowers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. That portion of the
Borrowing Base composed of Costs Incurred to Date shall be related to
expenditures for each Eligible Facility described in the applicable Total
Development Budget. Each Total Development Budget may include the cost of (i)
the acquisition by the Borrowers of the Land which is the site of such Facility,
(ii) the construction on the Premises of a Facility containing residential units
and common facilities (iii) marketing, staffing and similar pre-opening expenses
and (iv) an Operating Reserve. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative
Agent and to the extent specifically permitted by the Administrative Agent, the
process of verification of Requisitions shall confirm the payment by any of the
Borrowers of the following costs and expenses related to the development of the
Premises and the construction of the Improvements and no others may be included
in a Total Development Budget: (i) the payment of interest when due without
further authorization or consent of the Borrowers; (ii) the actual cost of the
Land and all labor, services, materials, supervision, construction fees and the
like reasonably incurred by any of the Borrowers in connection with the
construction upon the Land of the Improvements in accordance with the Plans and
Specifications; (iii) for the actual cost of pre-opening expenses, marketing
expenses and operations of the Facility to the extent of operating deficits;
(iv) for the actual cost of commitment fees, extension fees, appraisal fees,
closing or settlement costs, fees of attorneys, engineers, architects and
accountants, insurance and bond premiums, ad valorem real estate taxes and other
costs directly related to the development of the Land and the construction,
marketing, initial start-up operating of the Improvements and (v) for the
Development Fee and other pre-opening fees.

       Section 2.8 Requisitions Demonstrating Expenses

       Verification of the Borrowers' Costs Incurred to Date will be
administered by the Administrative Agent's Real Estate Loan Administration
Group. Requisitions for each Eligible Project shall be submitted by the
Borrowers from time to time setting forth costs incurred by or on behalf of the
Borrowers shall be in the form approved by the Administrative Agent (each a
"Requisition" collectively, the "Requisitions") signed by James S. Pope, Larry
Hulse, Christopher Slavin, Thomas B. Newell or David W. Faeder on behalf of the
Borrowers and approved by the Architect, showing the percentage of completion
and setting forth in trade breakdown form and in such detail as may be required
by the Administrative Agent the amounts expended and/or costs incurred for work
done and necessary materials incorporated in the Improvements. The Requisition
shall also show the percentage of completion of each line item on the applicable
Borrower's cost breakdown approved by the Administrative Agent. The Borrowers
shall submit with each Requisition a statement that the work completed to the
date of such Requisition is of quality consistent with the applicable Plans and
Specifications. In addition, at the time of delivery of each Requisition by the
Borrowers, the Borrowers shall furnish to the Administrative Agent such
additional information (such as paid receipts, invoices, statements of accounts,
etc.) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require to assure that amounts
shown in the Requisition have been paid by or on behalf of the Borrowers.
Requisitions verified by the

                                       29
<PAGE>   36

Real Estate Loan Administration Group during the course of a fiscal quarter will
be included in the calculation of the next Borrowing Base Report.

       Section 2.9 Co-Borrower Obligations

       Each Person included in the term "Borrowers", including each Additional
Borrower, hereby covenants and agrees with the Administrative Agent on behalf of
the Lendersas follows:

              (a)    The Obligations include all present and future
indebtedness, duties, obligations, and liabilities, whether now existing or
contemplated or hereafter arising, of any one or more of the Additional
Borrowers or the Existing Borrowers in connection with the Loan.

              (b)    Reference in this Agreement and the other Financing
Documents to the "Borrowers" or otherwise with respect to any one or more of the
Persons now or hereafter included in the definition of "Borrowers" shall mean
each and every such Person and any one or more of such Persons, jointly and
severally, unless the context requires otherwise.

              (c)    For administrative convenience, each Person included in the
term "Borrowers" hereby irrevocably appoints the Primary Borrower as the
Borrower's attorney-in-fact, with power of substitution (with the prior written
consent of the Administrative Agent in the exercise of its sole and absolute
discretion), in the name of the Primary Borrower or in the name of the Borrower
or otherwise to take any and all actions with respect to this Agreement, the
other Financing Documents, the Obligations and/or the Collateral (including,
without limitation, the proceeds thereof) as the Primary Borrower may so elect
from time to time, including, without limitation, actions to (i) request
advances under the Loan, and direct the Administrative Agent to disburse or
credit the proceeds of any advance under the Loan directly to an account of the
Primary Borrower, any one or more of such Persons or otherwise, which direction
shall evidence the making of such advance and shall constitute the
acknowledgment by each such Person of the receipt of the proceeds of the Loan,
(ii) enter into, execute, deliver, amend, modify, restate, substitute, extend
and/or renew this Agreement, any Additional Borrower Joinder Supplement, any
other Financing Documents, security agreements, mortgages, deposit account
agreements, instruments, certificates, waivers, letter of credit applications,
releases, documents and agreements from time to time, and (iii) endorse any
check or other item of payment in the name of such Person or in the name of the
Primary Borrower. The foregoing appointment is coupled with an interest, cannot
be revoked without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, and
may be exercised from time to time through the Primary Borrower's duly
authorized officer, officers or other Person or Persons designated by the
Primary Borrower to act from time to time on behalf of the Primary Borrower.

              (d)    Each Person included in the term "Borrowers" hereby
irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to make advances to any one or
more or to all of such Persons, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement
upon the written, oral or telephonic request any one or more of the Persons who
is from time to time a Responsible Officer of a Borrower under the provisions of
the most recent certificate of corporate resolutions and/or incumbency of

                                       30
<PAGE>   37

the Person included in the term "Borrowers" on file with the Administrative
Agent and also upon the written, oral or telephone request of any one of
Responsible Officer.

              (e)    The Administrative Agent assumes no responsibility or
liability for any errors, mistakes, and/or discrepancies in the oral,
telephonic, written or other transmissions of any instructions, orders, requests
and confirmations between the Administrative Agent and any one or more of the
Persons included in the term "Borrowers", any advance under the Loan or any
other transaction in connection with the provisions of this Agreement except
those resulting from the Administrative Agent's gross negligence or willful
misconduct.

       Section 2.10 Agreement Among Borrowers

       Without implying any limitation on the joint and several nature of the
Obligations, the Administrative Agent agrees that, notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, the Persons included in the term "Borrowers" may
create reasonable inter-company indebtedness between or among the Persons
included in the term "Borrowers" with respect to the allocation of the benefits
and proceeds of the advances under this Agreement. The Persons included in the
term "Borrowers" agree among themselves, and the Administrative Agent consents
to that agreement, that each such Person shall have rights of contribution from
all of the such Persons to the extent such Person incurs Obligations in excess
of the proceeds of the Loans received by, or allocated to purposes for the
direct benefit of, such Person. All such indebtedness and rights shall be, and
are hereby agreed by the Persons included in the term "Borrowers" to be,
subordinate in priority and payment to the indefeasible repayment in full in
cash of the Obligations, and, unless the Administrative Agent agrees in writing
otherwise, shall not be exercised or repaid in whole or in part until all of the
Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash. Each Person included in
the term "Borrowers" agrees that all of such inter-company indebtedness and
rights of contribution are part of the Collateral and secure the Obligations.
Each Person included in the term "Borrowers" hereby waives all rights of
counterclaim, recoupment and offset between or among themselves arising on
account of that indebtedness and otherwise. Unless otherwise consented to in
writing by the Administrative Agent, no Person included in the term "Borrowers"
shall evidence the inter-company indebtedness or rights of contribution by note
or other instrument, and shall not secure such indebtedness or rights of
contribution with any Lien or security.

       Section 2.11 Benefits to Borrowers

       Each Person included in the term "Borrowers" hereby represents and
warrants to the Administrative Agent that each of them will derive benefits,
directly and indirectly, from each advance under the Loan, both in their
separate capacity and as a member of the integrated group to which each such
Person belongs and because the successful operation of the integrated group is
dependent upon the continued successful performance of the functions of the
integrated group as a whole, because (i) the terms of the consolidated financing
provided under this Agreement are more favorable than would otherwise be
obtainable by such Persons individually, and (ii) the additional administrative
and other costs and reduced flexibility associated with individual

                                       31
<PAGE>   38

financing arrangements which would otherwise be required if obtainable would
substantially reduce the value to such Persons of the financing.

       Section 2.12 Guaranty

              (a)    Each Person included in the term "Borrowers" hereby
unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees to the Administrative Agent:

                     (i)    the due and punctual payment in full (and not merely
              the collectibility) by the other Persons included in the term
              "Borrowers" of the Obligations, including unpaid and accrued
              interest thereon, in each case when due and payable, all according
              to the terms of this Agreement, the Note and the other Financing
              Documents;

                     (ii)   the due and punctual payment in full (and not merely
              the collectibility) by the other Persons included in the term
              "Borrowers" of all other sums and charges which may at any time be
              due and payable in accordance with this Agreement, the Note or any
              of the other Financing Documents;

                     (iii)  the due and punctual performance by the other
              Persons included in the term "Borrowers" of all of the other
              terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Financing
              Documents; and

                     (iv)   all the other Obligations of the other Persons
              included in the term "Borrowers".

              (b)    The obligations and liabilities of each Person included in
the term "Borrowers" as a guarantor under this Section shall be absolute and
unconditional and joint and several, irrespective of the genuineness, validity,
priority, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Note or any of the
Financing Documents or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a
legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor. Each Person included in
the term "Borrowers" in its capacity as a guarantor expressly agrees that the
Administrative Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, without notice to
or further assent of such Borrower and without in any way releasing, affecting
or in any way impairing the joint and several obligations and liabilities of
such Person as a guarantor hereunder:

                     (i)    waive compliance with, or any defaults under, or
              grant any other indulgences under or with respect to any of the
              Financing Documents;

                     (ii)   modify, amend, change or terminate any provisions of
              any of the Financing Documents;

                     (iv)   effect any release, subordination, compromise or
              settlement in connection with this Agreement, the Note or any of
              the other Financing Documents;

                     (v)    agree to the substitution, exchange, release or
              other disposition of the Collateral or any part thereof, or any

              or security interest therein;

                     (vi)   make advances for the purpose of performing any
              term, provision or covenant contained in this Agreement, the Note
              or any of the other Financing Documents with respect to which the
              Borrower shall then be in default;

                     (vii)  make future advances pursuant to this Agreement or
              any of the other Financing Documents;

                     (viii) assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer,
              the Obligations, the Note, any of the other Financing Documents or
              any interest therein, all as and to the extent permitted by the
              provisions of this Agreement;

                     (ix)   deal in all respects with the other Persons included
              in the term "Borrowers" as if this Section were not in effect;

                     (x)    effect any release, compromise or settlement with
              any of the other Persons included in the term "Borrowers", whether
              in their capacity as a Borrower or as a guarantor under this
              Section or any other guarantor; and

                     (xi)   provide debtor-in-possession financing or allow use
              of cash collateral in proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code, it
              being expressly agreed by all Persons included in the term
              "Borrowers" that any such financing and/or use would be part of
              the Obligations.

              (c)    The obligations and liabilities of each Person included in
the term "Borrowers", as guarantor under this Section shall be primary, direct
and immediate, shall not be subject to any counterclaim, recoupment, set off,
reduction or defense based upon any claim that such Person may have against any
one or more of the other Persons included in the term "Borrowers", the
Administrative Agent and/or any other guarantor and shall not be conditional or
contingent upon pursuit or enforcement by the Administrative Agent of any
remedies it may have against Persons included in the term "Borrowers" with
respect to this Agreement, the Note or any of the other Financing Documents,
whether pursuant to the terms thereof or by operation of law. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not be required
to make any demand upon any of the Persons included in the term "Borrowers", or
to sell the Collateral or otherwise pursue, enforce or exhaust its or their
remedies against the Persons included in the term "Borrowers" or the Collateral
either before, concurrently with or after pursuing or enforcing its rights and
remedies hereunder. Any one or more successive or concurrent actions or
proceedings may be brought against each Person included in the term

                                       33

"Borrowers" under this Section, either in the same action, if any, brought
against any one or more of the Persons included in the term "Borrowers" or in
separate actions or proceedings, as often as the Administrative Agent may deem
expedient or advisable. Without limiting the foregoing, it is specifically
understood that any modification, limitation or discharge of any of the
liabilities or obligations of any one or more of the Persons included in the
term "Borrowers", any other guarantor or any obligor under any of the Financing
Documents, arising out of, or by virtue of, any bankruptcy, arrangement,
reorganization or similar proceeding for relief of debtors under federal or
state law initiated by or against any one or more of the Persons included in the
term "Borrowers", in their respective capacities as borrowers and guarantors
under this Section, or under any of the Financing Documents shall not modify,
limit, lessen, reduce, impair, discharge, or otherwise affect the liability of
each Borrower under this Section in any manner whatsoever, and this Section
shall remain and continue in full force and effect. It is the intent and purpose
of this Section that each Person included in the term "Borrowers" shall and does
hereby waive all rights and benefits which might accrue to any other guarantor
by reason of any such proceeding, and the Persons included in the term
"Borrowers" agree that they shall be liable for the full amount of the
obligations and liabilities under this Section regardless of, and irrespective
to, any modification, limitation or discharge of the liability of any one or
more of the Persons included in the term "Borrowers", any other guarantor or any
obligor under any of the Financing Documents, that may result from any such
proceedings.

              (d)    Each Person included in the term "Borrowers", as guarantor
under this Section, hereby unconditionally, jointly and severally, irrevocably
and expressly waives:

                     (i)    presentment and demand for payment of the
              Obligations and protest of non-payment;

                     (ii)   notice of acceptance of this Section and of
              presentment, demand and protest thereof;

                     (iii)  notice of any default hereunder or under the Note or

              indulgences;

                     (iv)   notice of any increase in the amount of any portion
              of or all of the indebtedness guaranteed by this Section;

                     (v)    demand for observance, performance or enforcement of
              any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, the Note or any
              of the other Financing Documents;

                     (vi)   all errors and omissions in connection with the
              Administrative Agent's administration of all indebtedness
              guaranteed by this Section;

                     (vii)  any right or claim of right to cause a marshalling

                     (viii) any act or omission of the Administrative Agent
              which changes the scope of the risk as guarantor hereunder; and

                     (ix)   All other notices and demands otherwise required by
              law which such Person may lawfully waive.

Administrative Agent to do so, each Person included in the term "Borrowers" will
furnish the Administrative Agent and such other persons as the Administrative
Agent may direct with a written certificate, duly acknowledged stating in detail
whether or not any credits, offsets or defenses exist with respect to this
Section.

       Section 3.1 Collateral

       As security for the payment of any and all of the Obligations and for the
Borrowers' performance of, and compliance with, all of the terms, covenants,
conditions, stipulations and agreements contained in the Financing Documents,
the Borrowers hereby assign, grant and convey to the Lenders, and agree that the
Lenders shall have, to the extent permitted by law a perfected, continuing
security interest in, all of the Collateral. The Borrowers further agree that
the Lenders shall have in respect of the Collateral all of the rights and
remedies of a secured party under the Virginia Uniform Commercial Code and the
Uniform Commercial Code of those other states in which the Facilities are
located, whichever is applicable, and under other applicable Laws as well as
those provided in this Agreement. The Borrowers covenant and agree to execute
and deliver such financing statements and other instruments and filings as are
necessary in the opinion of the Administrative Agent to perfect such security
interest. Notwithstanding the fact that the proceeds of the Collateral
constitute a part of the Collateral, the Borrowers may not dispose of the
Collateral, or any part thereof, other than in the ordinary course of their
business or as otherwise may be permitted by this Agreement or other Security
Agreements.

       Section 3.2 Eligible Projects

            The Borrowers shall from time to time designate Facilities owned by
any of the Borrowers as Eligible Projects included in the Borrowing Base
pursuant to the terms hereof. The Facilities which are currently Eligible

reference or any future Borrowing Base Report. The Credit Facility shall be
secured by (a) the first lien Deeds of Trust on the fee simple interests of the
Borrowers in the

                                       35

Eligible Projects or on the leasehold interests of Borrowers under Qualified
Ground Leases, (b) a first lien security interest in all fixtures, building
materials and all other machinery, equipment and other personalty used or
installed by the Borrowers or each of the premises of an Eligible Project or in
the Improvements constructed thereon, and (c) all of the other Collateral
relating to the Eligible Projects. The Borrowers may release an Eligible Project
from the lien of its Deed of Trust at any time provided no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing and provided at least eight (8) Eligible Projects
remain in the Borrowing Base of which 83% must be Pool A Projects. The
Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion agree to include a Facility
occupied pursuant to a Qualified Ground Lease; provided, however, that at no
time shall Eligible Projects subject to Qualified Ground Leases comprise more
than ten percent (10%) of the availability under the Borrowing Base at any one
time.

       Section 3.3 Assignment of Partnership Interests

       The Obligations are further secured by one or more Pledge, Assignment and
Security Agreements, pursuant to which the partners of each of the Borrowers
have assigned to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders one
hundred percent (100%) of all partnership or member interests in each of the
Borrowers.

       Section 3.4 Guaranties

       The Obligations are the subject of the Guaranty Agreement and the
Performance Guaranty executed and delivered by the Guarantor in favor of the
Lenders.

       Section 3.5 Collateral for Obligations

       The Borrowers acknowledge that it is the intention of the Borrowers that
the Collateral and all the Deeds of Trust be security for all of the
Obligations, both those now existing and those hereafter created or incurred by
future loans, advances, extensions of credit or otherwise and whether or not
currently contemplated by the Borrowers and/or the Lenders on or about the date
hereof.

       Section 3.6 Costs

       The Borrowers agree to pay on demand, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable laws, all reasonable fees, commissions, costs, charges, travel
expenses and other expenses incurred by the Lenders, or any of them, in
connection with the taking, perfection, preservation, protection and/or release
of any security interest or lien on any of the Collateral or Deeds of Trust. The
foregoing notwithstanding, the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay the
travel expenses of the Lenders with the exception of travel expenses incurred in
connection with any enforcement actions following the occurrence of an Event of
Default.

                                       40
<PAGE>   47

              opinion must also inform the Lenders (i) of the cost and timing of

              Base if the maximum availability which could be added to the
              Borrowing Base thereby would cause the Borrowing Base to exceed
              the then applicable Credit Facility Committed Amount; provided,
              however that in the case of an Eligible Project to be constructed
              or under construction, such Eligible Project may be added to the
              Borrowing Base if sufficient equity is contributed by the
              Borrowers to permit the Facility to be completed within the Credit
              Facility Committed Amount and if all of the equity is funded prior
              to any advance of the Loan for such Eligible Project.

coverage of the policy by an amount equal to the Requisition being verified if
the policy does not by its terms provide for such an increase.

              (b)    No Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be

the Requisition have been paid by the Borrowers.

              (h)    At least Eighty-three percent (83%) of the Eligible
Projects in the Borrowing Base shall be Pool A Projects. The Administrative
Agent shall have determined whether each Eligible Project is a Pool A, Pool B

       The Borrowers hereby grant to the Lenders a continuing lien and security
interest for all the Obligations upon any and all monies, securities, and other
property of the Borrowers and the proceeds thereof, now or hereafter held or
received by or in transit to, the Lenders, or any affiliate of any of the
Lenders, from or for any of the Borrowers, and also upon any and all deposits
(general or special) and credits of any of the Borrowers with any of the
Lenders, if any, at any time existing. During the continuance of any Event of
Default under this Agreement, each Lender is hereby authorized by any of the
Borrowers at any time and from time to time, without notice to the Borrowers,
to set off, appropriate and apply any or all items hereinabove referred to
against all Obligations then outstanding.

       Section 4.6  Payment and Performance of Obligations

       The payment and performance by the Borrowers of the Obligations shall be

net all of the Obligations, free of any deductions and without abatement,

       Section 4.7  Payments to Others for the Account of the Borrowers

and without waiving any of its rights hereunder, the Lenders may elect to cure
or avoid any default by the Borrowers under the Financing Documents by applying
amounts due hereunder or advancing the Lenders' own funds to the satisfaction
of the conditions of the Financing Documents and any amounts so applied shall
be part of the Loan and shall be secured by the Deeds of Trust and the other
Collateral. The Administrative Agent agrees to endeavor to give the Borrowers
notice of any such payment or performing such act and the amount of any payment
whether prior to or contemporaneously with its making such payment or
performance of such act; provided, however, that failure to give such notice
shall not constitute a waiver by the Lenders of, or constitute a defense to,
any of the rights of the Lenders under this Agreement or the Deeds of Trust,
including (without limitation) the right of the Lenders to repayment of the
amount of such payment.

       Section 4.8  Prepayment

       The Borrowers shall have the right to prepay the Loan in full or in
part, at any time and from time to time, upon five (5) days' prior written

notwithstanding, in connection with any prepayment of a principal sum on any
day other than the last day of the Eurodollar Period applicable thereto, the
Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent upon request by the
Administrative Agent, such amount as shall be sufficient to compensate any of
the Lenders for any and all losses or expenses which such Lender may sustain or
incur (including without limitation, any such loss or expense arising from the
redeployment of funds obtained by such Lender). Unless an Event of Default has
occurred, any partial prepayment shall be applied first to such breakage costs,
second to accrued and unpaid interest and third to the outstanding principal
balance of the Loan due and owing at maturity. Sums borrowed and repaid may be
readvanced. The Borrowers' obligations under this Section shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Obligations.

       The Borrowers agree not to transfer, assign, pledge or hypothecate any
right or interest in any payment or advance due pursuant to this Agreement, or
any of the other benefits of this Agreement, without the prior written consent
of the Administrative Agent. Any assignment made or attempted by the Borrowers,
or any of them, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent
shall be void and of no effect. No consent by the Administrative Agent to an
assignment by the Borrowers shall release the Borrowers as the parties
primarily obligated and liable under the terms of this Agreement unless the
Borrowers shall be released specifically by the Administrative Agent in
writing. No consent by the Administrative Agent to an assignment shall be

Administrative Agent with respect to each and every further assignment and as a
condition precedent to the effectiveness of such assignment.

       Section 4.11  Liability of the Lenders

       The Lenders shall in no event be responsible or liable to any person
other than the Borrowers for the disbursement of or failure to disburse the
Loan proceeds or any part thereof and neither the General Contractor nor any
subcontractor, laborer or material supplier shall have any right or claim
against the Lenders under this Agreement or the administration thereof. No

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

       To induce the Lenders to make available the Credit Facility, the
Borrowers represent and warrant to the Lenders that:

       Section 5.1  Existence/Good Standing

       Each Borrower is a limited partnership or a limited liability company
duly organized and existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its formation, has the power to own its property and to carry
on its business as now being conducted, and is duly qualified to do business
and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which each Facility owned by
such Borrower is located and in which the character of the properties owned by
it therein or in which the transaction of its business makes such qualification
necessary.

       Section 5.2  Power and Authority

       Each Borrower has full power and authority to execute and deliver this
Agreement and each of the other Financing Documents executed and delivered by
it, to make the borrowing hereunder, and to incur the Obligations, all of which
have been duly authorized by all proper and necessary partnership action. No
consent or approval of partners or members of, or lenders to, the Borrowers,
and no consent or approval of any Governmental Authority or any third party
payor on the part of the Borrowers, is required as a condition to the validity
or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents
executed and delivered by any of the Borrowers or to the payment or performance
by the Borrowers of the Obligations.

       Section 5.3  Binding Agreements

       This Agreement and each of the other Financing Documents executed and
delivered by the Borrowers have been properly executed by the Borrowers,
constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Borrowers, and are
fully enforceable against the Borrowers in accordance with their respective
terms.

<PAGE>   53

       Section 5.4  Litigation

       There are no proceedings pending before any court or arbitrator or
before or by any Governmental Authority which, in any one case or in the
aggregate, will cause a Material Adverse Change in any of the Borrowers or
affect the authority of any of the Borrowers to enter into this Agreement or
any of the other Financing Documents executed and delivered by any of the
Borrowers. There is no pending revocation, suspension, termination, probation,
restriction, limitation or non-renewal of any License, Participation Agreement
or any similar accreditation or approval organization or Governmental Authority
for healthcare providers, including, without limitation, the issuance of any
provisional License or other License with a term of less than twelve (12)
months, as a consequence of any sanctions imposed by any Governmental
Authority, nor is there any pending assessment of any civil or criminal
penalties by any Governmental Authority, the outcome of which, if determined
adversely to any of the Borrowers, could result in a Material Adverse Change in
any of the Borrowers. The Borrowers do not have any appeals regarding rates or
reimbursements currently pending or contemplated before any Governmental
Authority or any administrator of any third party payor or preferred provider
program or referral source, the outcome of which, if determined adversely to
any of the Borrowers, could result in a Material Adverse Change in any of the
Borrowers. There are no Medicare or Medicaid recoupments or recoupments of any
other third party payor being sought, requested or claimed, against any of the
Borrowers, the outcome of which, if determined adversely to any of the
Borrowers could materially impair any of the Borrowers' ability to pay the
Obligations, except as otherwise disclosed in writing to, and approved by, the
Administrative Agent.

       Section 5.5  No Conflicting Agreements

articles of incorporation or operating agreement and no provision of any
existing mortgage, indenture, contract or agreement binding on any of the
Borrower or affecting its property, and (b) to the knowledge of the Borrowers
no provision of law or order of court binding upon any of the Borrowers, which
would conflict with or in any way prevent the execution, delivery, or
performance of the terms of this Agreement or of any of the other Financing
Documents executed and delivered by any of the Borrowers, or which would be
violated as a result of such execution, delivery or performance, or, if so, all
necessary consents have been obtained.

       All financial statements or information hereto furnished to the Lenders
with respect to the Borrowers, each Facility and the Guarantor is complete and
correct in all material respects and fairly presents the financial condition of

to develop a new facility or service and/or (ii) eliminate, materially expand
or materially reduce any service;

              (f)    any actual contingent liability or a potential contingent
liability threatened or noticed in a written communication to any of  the

       Following an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent without the
necessity of prior notice to or demand upon the Borrowers and without waiving
or releasing any of the Obligations or any Event of Default, may (but shall be
under no obligation to) at any time thereafter make such payment or perform
such act for the account and at the expense of the Borrowers, and may enter

thereon as the Administrative Agent may consider necessary or appropriate for
such purpose. The Administrative Agent will give the Borrowers notice, at least
subsequently, of any such performance by the Administrative Agent. All sums so
paid or advanced by the Administrative Agent and all costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses)
incurred in connection therewith (the "Expense Payments") together with
interest thereon from the date of payment, advance or incurring until paid in

       The Administrative Agent shall have the right, upon the happening of any
Event of Default, to terminate this Agreement by Notice from the Administrative
Agent to the Borrowers and, in addition to any rights or remedies available to
them under the Deed of Trust or any of the other Financing Documents, to enter
into possession of any of the Property and perform any and all work and labor
necessary to complete the development of such Land and the construction of the
Improvements thereon (whether or not in accordance with the Plans and
Specifications therefor) and to employ watchmen to protect the Property and the
Improvements. All sums expended by the Lenders for such purposes shall be
deemed to have been advanced to the Borrowers under the Note and shall be
secured by the Deeds of Trust and the Collateral. For this purpose, the
Borrowers hereby constitute and appoint the Lenders, or the Administrative
Agent on behalf of the Lenders, its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full
power of substitution to complete work on any Eligible Project in the name of
the Borrowers, and hereby empowers said attorney or attorneys as follows:

              (a)    To use any funds of any of the Borrowers including any
balance which may be held in escrow and any funds which may remain un-advanced
under any of the Loan for the purpose of completing the development of any of
the Land and the construction of any of the Improvements, whether or not in the
manner called for in the Plans and Specifications;

              (b)    To make such additions and changes and corrections to any
of the Plans and Specifications which shall be necessary or desirable in the
judgment of the Administrative

                                       82

<PAGE>   89

Agent to complete the development of any of the Land and the construction of
any of the Improvements;

              (c)    To employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents,
architects and inspectors as shall be necessary or desirable for said purpose;

              (d)    To pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims
which are or may be liens against any of the Property, or may be necessary or
desirable for the completion of the work or the clearance of title to any of
the Property;

              (e)    To execute all applications and certificates which may be
required in the name of any of the Borrowers; and

              (f)    To do any and every act with respect to the development of
the Land and the construction of the Improvements which any of the Borrowers
may do in its own behalf.

       It is understood and agreed that this power of attorney shall be deemed
to be a power coupled with an interest which cannot be revoked. Said
attorney-in-fact shall also have the power to prosecute and defend all actions
or proceedings in connection with the development of the Land and the
construction of the Improvements and to take such actions and to require such
performance as the Lenders may deem necessary.

       Section 10.6  Uniform Commercial Code and Other Remedies

       Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (and in addition to all of
its rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement), the Lenders shall have
all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the applicable Uniform
Commercial Code and other applicable laws, and the Lenders are authorized to
offset and apply to all or any part of the Obligations all moneys, credits and
other property of any nature whatsoever of the Borrowers now or at any time
hereafter in the possession of, in transit to or from, under the control or
custody of, or on deposit with, any of the Lenders; and upon demand by the
Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall assemble the Collateral and make it
available to the Lenders, at a place designated by the Administrative Agent;
and the Lenders or their agents may enter upon the Borrowers' premises to take
possession of the Collateral, to remove it, to render it unusable, or to sell
or otherwise dispose of it.

       Any written notice of the sale, disposition or other intended action by
the Lenders with respect to the Collateral which is sent by regular mail,
postage prepaid, to the Borrowers at the address set forth in Article XI
hereof, or such other address of the Borrowers which may from time to time be
shown on the Lenders' records, at least ten (10) days prior to such sale,
disposition or other action, shall constitute reasonable notice to the
Borrowers. The Borrowers shall pay on demand all costs and expenses, including,
without limitation, attorney's fees and expenses, incurred by or on behalf of
the Lenders, or any of them, in preparing for sale or other disposition,
selling, managing, collecting or otherwise disposing of, the Collateral. All of
such costs and expenses (the "Liquidation Costs") together with interest
thereon from the date

                                       83

<PAGE>   90

incurred until paid in full at the Post-Default Rate, shall be paid by the
Borrowers to the Administrative Agent on demand and shall constitute and become
a part of the Obligations. Any proceeds of sale or other disposition of the
Collateral will be applied by the Lenders to the payment of the Liquidation
Costs and Expense Payments, and any balance of such proceeds will be applied by
the Lenders to the payment of the balance of the Obligations in such order and
manner of application as the Lenders may from time to time in its sole
discretion determine. After such application of the proceeds, any balance shall
be paid to the applicable Borrowers or to any other party entitled thereto.

       Section 10.7  Receiver or Other Court Order

       Following an Event of Default, as a matter of right, following ten (10)
days notice and without regard to the adequacy of the security, and upon
application to a court of competent jurisdiction, the Lenders shall be entitled
to the immediate appointment of a receiver for all or any part of the
Collateral, and of the payments and proceeds thereof and therefrom, whether
such receivership be incidental to a proposed sale of the Collateral or
otherwise, and the Borrowers hereby consent to the appointment of such a
receiver and to an order of court directing that payments, including Medicare
and Medicaid payments, be made directly to the receiver. The Borrowers will pay
to the Beneficiary, upon demand, all expenses, including receiver's fees,
attorney's fees, costs and agents compensation, advanced by the Borrowers and
incurred pursuant to the provisions contained in this Section.

       Section 10.8  No Conditions Precedent to Exercise of Remedies

       The Borrowers shall not be relieved of any obligation by reason of the
failure of the Lenders to comply with any request of the Borrowers or of any
other person to take action to foreclose on the Property under the Deed of
Trust or otherwise to enforce any provision of the Financing Documents, or by
reason of the release, regardless of consideration, of all or any part of the
Property, or by reason of any agreement or stipulation between any subsequent
owner of the Property and the Lenders extending the time of payment or
modifying the terms of the Financing Documents without first having obtained
the consent of the Borrowers; and in the latter event, the Borrowers shall
continue to be liable to make payments according to the terms of any such
extension or modification agreement, unless expressly released and discharged
in writing by the Lenders.

       Section 10.9  Remedies Cumulative and Concurrent

       No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Lenders or the
Administrative Agent is intended to be exclusive of any other remedies provided

under the Financing Documents, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity
or by statute. Every right, power and remedy given by the Financing Documents

                                       84

<PAGE>   91

separately, successively or together against any or all of the Borrowers or the
Property or any part thereof, and every right, power and remedy given by the
Financing Documents may be exercised from time to time as often as may be
deemed expedient by the Lenders or the Administrative Agent.

       Section 10.10  Strict Performance

       No delay or omission of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent to
exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon the happening of an Event of
Default shall impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to
be a waiver of any such Event of Default or any acquiescence therein. No delay
or omission on the part of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent to exercise
any option for acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations, or any of them,
or for foreclosure of the Deeds of Trust, or any of them, following any Event
of Default as aforesaid, or any other option granted to the Lenders hereunder
in any one or more instances, or the acceptance by the Lenders of any partial
payment on account of the Obligations shall constitute a waiver of any such
Event of Default and each such option shall remain continuously in full force

promises to pay to the order of BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., d/b/a NATIONSBANK, N.A.,
successor by merger to NationsBank, N.A. its successors and assigns (the
"Administrative Agent") as administrative agent for itself and the other
lenders who are or shall be from time to time participating as lenders
(collectively with the Administrative Agent, the "Lenders") hereunder pursuant
to the Second Amended and Restated Agency Agreement of even date herewith, (as
amended, restated or substituted from time to time, the "Agency Agreement"),
the maximum principal sum of FOUR HUNDRED MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS
($400,000,000) (the "Principal Sum") or such greater amount as the Lenders may
from time commit to lend pursuant hereto and to the Agency Agreement, or so
much thereof as may be advanced or readvanced to or for the account of the
Borrower pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Financing Agreement (as
hereinafter defined), together with interest thereon at the rate or rates
hereinafter provided. All defined terms not otherwise defined herein shall have
the meaning set forth in the Financing Agreement.

       1.     Interest. Interest on portions of the outstanding Principal Sum
shall accrue and be payable for periods of thirty (30) days each or periods of
seven (7) days each (each a "Eurodollar Period") at a fixed rate for such
Eurodollar Period equal to the sum of (i) Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the
Financing Agreement), which rate shall be adjusted for any Federal Reserve
Board reserve requirements imposed upon the Administrative Agent or any of the
Lenders from time to time, plus (ii) that certain number of basis points per
annum (the "Spread") applicable pursuant to the conditions set forth below. The
Eurodollar Rate determined pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in
effect to the end of the applicable Eurodollar Period. Interest payable
hereunder shall also be subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.4 of
the Financing Agreement.

No more than six (6) different Eurodollar Periods may be in effect at any one
time provided that
                                   EXHBIT A-4

<PAGE>   109

not more than one (1) Eurodollar Period may be a seven day Eurodollar Period.
Interest shall be computed for the actual number of days which have elapsed
from the date of each advance of a portion of the Principal Sum calculated on
the basis of a 365-day year.

For any Eurodollar Period commencing on a date when one or more of SEAL,
Sunrise SEAL or Guarantor (as defined in the Financing Agreement) has a senior
secured debt rating from each of Moody's and Standard & Poors and not lower,
respectively, than BBB- and Baa3, the Spread shall be determined according to
the following grid based on the lower rating, if any, of either Moody's or
Standard & Poors.

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
        STANDARD & POORS                     MOODY'S
   SENIOR SECURED DEBT RATING      Senior Secured Debt Rating       SPREAD
   --------------------------      --------------------------       ------
   <S>                             <C>                              <C>
               A-                               A3                   100
              BBB+                             Baa1                  110
              BBB                              Baa2                  120
              BBB-                             Baa3                  130
</TABLE>

If a senior secured debt rating is not available from both Standard & Poors and
Moody's, an implied senior secured debt rating will be used. The implied senior
secured debt rating for both Standard & Poors and Moody's will be equivalent to
the lower of either (A) one level above the lower of Standard & Poors and
Moody's senior unsecured debt rating, or (B) two levels above Standard & Poors
and Moody's subordinated debt rating.

In all cases where a Spread based on an actual or implied secured debt rating
is not available or is lower than above, the Spread shall be one hundred fifty
(150) basis points.

       2.     Payments and Maturity.

       (a)    Interest only on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan
shall be due and payable on the fifteenth (15th) day of the first (1st) month
following the date hereof and on the fifteenth (15th) day of each and every
month thereafter for a total of thirty-six (36) consecutive months unless
otherwise extended pursuant to the terms of the Financing Agreement; and

       (b)    Principal sums repaid prior to the Maturity Date (as hereinafter
defined) may be reborrowed pursuant to the terms of the Financing Documents.

       (c)    The outstanding principal balance of the Loan and all accrued and
unpaid interest thereon shall be due and owing at the Maturity Date.

       (d)    The Loan shall mature and the entire principal balance of the
Loan, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and
payable on the date (the "Maturity Date") referred to in the Financing
Agreement as the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

                                   EXHBIT A-5

<PAGE>   110

       The fact that the balance hereunder may be reduced to zero from time to
time pursuant to the Financing Agreement will not affect the continuing
validity of this Note or the Financing Agreement, and the balance may be
increased to the Principal Sum after any such reduction to zero.

       3.     Default Interest. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as
hereinafter defined), the unpaid Principal Sum shall bear interest thereafter
until such Event of Default is cured at a rate which is at all times equal to
three percent (3%) per annum in excess of the rate or rates of interest
otherwise payable hereunder.

       4.     Late Charges. In the event that any payment due hereunder is not
received by the Administrative Agent within fifteen (15) days of the date such
payment is due (inclusive of the date when due), the Borrower shall pay to the
Administrative Agent on demand a late charge equal to four percent (4%) of such
payment.

       5.     Application and Place of Payments. Unless an Event of Default (as
hereinafter defined) has occurred, all payments made on account of this Note,
including prepayments, shall be applied in the following order:

              (a)    First, to all Enforcement Costs and other expenses of the
Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders;

              (b)    Second, to all amounts due to the Administrative Agent (in
its capacity as Administrative Agent) from the Borrowers or the Lenders;

              (c)    Third, to the Lenders, in accordance with their respective
pro rata shares of the Loan, for the past due interest on the Note;

              (d)    Fourth, to the payment of any prepayment penalty due under
Section 4.8 of the Financing Agreement.

                                   EXHBIT A-6

<PAGE>   111

       (e)    Fifth, to the Lenders, in accordance with their respective pro
rata shares of the Loan, for principal of the Note in the order hereinafter
provided plus the pro rata share of the settlement payments due to the
Administrative Agent or other Lender who provided the Interest Rate Protection
(as defined in the Financing Agreement) to the Borrowers (the "Settlement
Payments");

       (f)    Sixth, to the Lenders, in accordance with their respective pro
rata shares of the Loan, for past due fees required under the Financing
Documents;

       (g)    Seventh, to the Lenders, in accordance with their respective pro
rata shares of the Loan, for all other amounts owed the Lenders pursuant to the
provisions of the Financing Agreement, this Agreement or the Financing
Documents, including but not limited to any unpaid Commitment Fees; and

       (h)    Eighth, to the Administrative Agent, in payment or reimbursement
       of any over-drafts in any account of the Borrowers.

The application of payments after an Event of Default shall be determined by
the Administrative Agent. All payments on account of this Note shall be paid in
lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds
during regular business hours of the Administrative Agent at its principal
office in Baltimore, Maryland or at such other times and places as the
Administrative Agent may at any time and from time to time designate in writing
to the Borrower. Any payment received after 2:30 p.m. (Baltimore Time) shall be
deemed to have been received on the next Banking Day.

            6.       Prepayment. The Borrower shall have the right to prepay
the Principal Sum in full or in part, at any time and from time to time in
accordance with Section 4.8 of the Financing Agreement. Sums repaid may be
reborrowed.

            7.       Financing Agreement and Other Financing Documents. This
Note is the Note described in the Second Amended and Restated Financing and
Security Agreement of even date by and among the Borrowers and the
Administrative Agent (as amended or otherwise modified from time to time, the
"Financing Agreement").  The term "Financing Documents" as used in this Note
shall mean collectively this Note, the Financing Agreement, all Deeds of Trust
(as further amended or otherwise modified from time to time), all of the other
Financing Documents (as defined in the Financing Agreement) and any other
instrument, agreement, or document previously, simultaneously, or hereafter
executed and delivered by the Borrower and/or any other person, singularly or
jointly with any other person, evidencing, securing, guaranteeing, or in
connection with the Credit Facility or the Loan.

            8.       Security. This Note is secured by, among other things,
certain deeds of trust or mortgages (each as amended, restated or substituted
from time to time, a "Deed of Trust" collectively, the "Deeds of Trust"),
covering that real estate owned by the Borrower and the

                                   EXHBIT A-7

<PAGE>   112

improvements thereon more particularly described in the Deeds of Trust
identified on any Borrowing Base Report or listing of Optional Collateral and
all other property, real and personal, more particularly described in the Deeds
of Trust (collectively, the "Property").

       9.     Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the
following events shall constitute an event of default (individually, an "Event
of Default" and collectively, the "Events of Default") under the terms of this
Note:

              (a)    The failure of the Borrower to pay to the Administrative
Agent when due any and all amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under
the terms hereunder and such failure continues for five (5) calendar days after
notice thereof by the Administrative Agent, except with regard to payment of
amounts due at maturity for which no notice or cure period shall be required to
be given and except for a Borrowing Base Deficiency (as defined in the
Financing Agreement) which shall be payable as provided in the Financing
Agreement; or

              (b)    The occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default (as
those terms are defined in the Financing Agreement) under the terms and
conditions of any of the other Financing Documents, which Default or Event of
Default remains uncured beyond any applicable grace and/or cure period provided
therefor.

       10.    Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, at the
option of the Lenders, all amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under
the terms hereof shall immediately become due and payable by the Borrower to
the Lenders without notice to the Borrower or any other person, and the Lenders
shall have all of the rights, powers, and remedies available under the terms of
this Note, any of the other Financing Documents and all applicable laws. The
Borrower and all endorsers, guarantors, and other parties who may now or in the
future be primarily or secondarily liable for the payment of the indebtedness
under the Loan hereby severally waive presentment, protest and demand, notice
of protest, notice of demand and of dishonor and non-payment of this Note and
expressly agree that this Note or any payment hereunder may be extended from
time to time without in any way affecting the liability of the Borrower,
guarantors and endorsers. The Borrower and all endorsers, guarantors, and other
parties who may now or in the future be liable for payment of the Obligations
hereby acknowledge that all advances under the Loan will be made under and will
be evidenced by this Note.

       11.    Mandatory Arbitration. Any controversy or claim between or among
the parties hereto including but not limited to those arising out of or
relating to this Note or any related agreements or instruments, including any
claim based on or arising from an alleged tort, shall be determined by binding
arbitration in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (or if not
applicable, the applicable state law), as promulgated from time to time by the
Rules of Practice and Procedure for the Arbitration of Commercial Disputes of
Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc., predecessor in interest to
Endispute, Inc., doing business as "J.A.M.S./Endispute" and the "Special Rules"
set forth below. In the event of any inconsistency, the Special Rules shall
control. Judgment upon any arbitration award may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction.

                                   EXHBIT A-8

<PAGE>   113

Any party to this Note may bring an action, including a summary or expedited
proceeding, to compel arbitration of any controversy or claim to which this
agreement applies in any court having jurisdiction over such action. The
foregoing notwithstanding, in a claim pertaining to a Deed of Trust or
Collateral located in a state with "one-action" rule which might limit to
Lenders' remedies, the Administrative Agent shall have the right in its sole
discretion to restrict the application of this arbitration provision to the
extent that it would otherwise result in a limitation on the Lenders' remedies
in such state.

              (i)    Special Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in
Fairfax County, Virginia and administered by J.A.M.S./Endispute who will
appoint an arbitrator pursuant to its rules of practice and procedure; if
J.A.M.S./Endispute is unable or legally precluded from administering the
arbitration, then the American Arbitration Association will serve. All
arbitration hearings will be commenced within ninety (90) calendar days of the
demand for arbitration; further, the arbitrator shall only, upon a showing of
cause, be permitted to extend the commencement of such hearing for up to an
additional sixty (60) calendar days.

              (ii)   Reservations of Rights. Nothing in this Note shall be
deemed to (i) limit the applicability of any otherwise applicable statutes of
limitation or repose and any waivers contained in this Note; or (ii) be a
waiver by Administrative Agent of the protection afforded to it by 12 U.S.C.
Sec. 91 or any substantially equivalent state law; or (iii) limit the right of
the Administrative Agent or the Lenders (A) to exercise self help remedies such
as (but not limited to) setoff, or (B) to foreclose against any real or
personal property collateral, or (C) to obtain from a court provisional or
ancillary remedies such as (but not limited to) injunctive relief or the
appointment of a receiver. The Administrative Agent or the Lenders may exercise
such self help rights, foreclose upon such property, or obtain such provisional
or ancillary remedies before, during or after the pendency of any arbitration
proceeding brought pursuant to this Note. At the Administrative Agent's or the
Lenders' option, foreclosure under a deed of trust or mortgage may be
accomplished by any of the following: the exercise of a power of sale under the
deed of trust or mortgage, or by judicial sale under the deed of trust or
mortgage, or by judicial foreclosure. Neither the exercise of self help
remedies nor the institution or maintenance of an action for foreclosure or
provisional or ancillary remedies shall constitute a waiver of the right of any
party, including the claimant in any such action, to arbitrate the merits of
the controversy or claim occasioning resort to such remedies. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event that the Administrative Agent or the Lenders
exercise such self help remedies or other actions, the Borrower has not waived
any of its rights to seek legal or equitable relief to defend against the
Administrative Agent's or the Lenders' exercise of such self help remedies or
other actions. No provision in the Financing Documents regarding submission to
jurisdiction and/or venue in any court is intended or shall be construed to be
in derogation of the provisions in any Financing Document for arbitration of
any controversy or claim.

              (iii)  Confidentiality. Any arbitration proceeding, award,
findings of fact, conclusions of law, or other information concerning such
arbitration matters shall be held in confidence by the parties and shall not be
disclosed except to each party's employees or agents as shall be reasonably
necessary for such party to conduct its business; provided, however, that

                                   EXHBIT A-9

<PAGE>   114

either party may disclose such information for auditing purposes by independent
certified public accountants, for complying with applicable governmental laws,
regulations or court orders, or that is or becomes part of the public domain
through no breach of this Note.

       12.    Consent to Jurisdiction. The Borrower irrevocably submits to the
jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the Commonwealth of
Virginia over any suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or relating to
this Note. The Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, any objection that the Borrower may now or hereafter have to the laying
the venue of any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court and
any claim that any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court
has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Final judgment in any such suit,
action, or proceeding brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding
upon the Borrower and may be enforced in any court in which the Borrower is
subject to jurisdiction by a suit upon such judgment provided that service of
process is effected upon the Borrower as provided in this Note or as otherwise
permitted by applicable law.

       13.    Service of Process.

              (a)    The Borrower hereby irrevocably designates and appoints
Wayne G. Tatusko, Esquire of Watt, Tieder, Hoffar & Fitzgerald, 7929 Westpark
Drive, McLean, Virginia 22102, as the Borrower's authorized agent to accept and
acknowledge on the Borrower's behalf service of any and all process that may be
served in any suit, action, or proceeding instituted in connection with this
Note in any state or federal court sitting in the Commonwealth of Virginia. If
such agent shall cease so to act, the Borrower shall irrevocably designate and
appoint without delay another such agent in the Commonwealth of Virginia
satisfactory to the Lenders and shall promptly deliver to the Administrative
Agent evidence in writing of such agent's acceptance of such appointment and
its agreement that such appointment shall be irrevocable.

              (b)    The Borrower hereby consents to process being served in
any suit, action, or proceeding instituted in connection with this Note by (i)
the mailing of a copy thereof by certified mail, postage prepaid, return
receipt requested, to the Borrower and (ii) serving a copy thereof upon the
agent hereinabove designated and appointed by the Borrower as the Borrower's
agent for service of process. The Borrower irrevocably agrees that such service
shall be deemed to be service of process upon the Borrower in any such suit,
action, or proceeding. Nothing in this Note shall affect the right of the
Lenders to serve process in any manner otherwise permitted by law and nothing
in this Note will limit the right of the Lenders otherwise to bring proceedings
against the Borrower in the courts of any jurisdiction or jurisdictions.

       14.    WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. THE BORROWER AND THE LENDERS HEREBY
WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING NOT REQUIRED TO BE ARBITRATED
PURSUANT TO THE TERMS HEREOF TO WHICH THE BORROWER AND THE LENDERS, OR ANY OF
THEM, MAY BE PARTIES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY PERTAINING TO (A) THIS NOTE,
(B) THE OTHER FINANCING DOCUMENTS OR (C) ANY OF THE PROPERTY. IT IS AGREED AND

                                  EXHBIT A-10

<PAGE>   115

UNDERSTOOD THAT THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OF ALL CLAIMS
AGAINST ALL PARTIES TO SUCH ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS, INCLUDING CLAIMS AGAINST
PARTIES WHO ARE NOT PARTIES TO THIS NOTE. THIS WAIVER IS KNOWINGLY, WILLINGLY
AND VOLUNTARILY MADE BY THE BORROWER, AND THE BORROWER HEREBY REPRESENTS THAT
NO REPRESENTATIONS OF FACT OR OPINION HAVE BEEN MADE BY ANY INDIVIDUAL TO
INDUCE THIS WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OR TO IN ANY WAY MODIFY OR NULLIFY ITS
EFFECT. THE BORROWER FURTHER REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS BEEN REPRESENTED IN THE
SIGNING OF THIS NOTE AND IN THE MAKING OF THIS WAIVER BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL
COUNSEL, SELECTED OF ITS OWN FREE WILL, AND THAT IT HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO
DISCUSS THIS WAIVER WITH COUNSEL.

       15.    Expenses. The Borrower promises to pay to the Administrative
Agent on demand by the Administrative Agent all costs and expenses incurred by
the Lenders in connection with the collection and enforcement of this Note,
including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses and
all court costs.

       16.    Notices. Any notice, request, or demand to or upon the Borrower
or the Lenders shall be deemed to have been properly given or made when
delivered in accordance with Section 11.1 of the Financing Agreement.

       17.    Miscellaneous. Each right, power, and remedy of the Lenders as
provided for in this Note or any of the other Financing Documents, or now or
hereafter existing under any applicable law or otherwise shall be cumulative
and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power, or remedy
provided for in this Note or any of the other Financing Documents or now or
hereafter existing under any applicable law, and the exercise or beginning of
the exercise by the Lenders of any one or more of such rights, powers, or
remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Lenders
of any or all such other rights, powers, or remedies. No failure or delay by
the Lenders to insist upon the strict performance of any term, condition,
covenant, or agreement of this Note or any of the other Financing Documents, or
to exercise any right, power, or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, shall
constitute a waiver of any such term, condition, covenant, or agreement or of
any such breach, or preclude the Lenders from exercising any such right, power,
or remedy at a later time or times. By accepting payment after the due date of
any amount payable hereunder, the Lenders shall not be deemed to waive the
right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts payable
under the terms hereof or to declare an Event of Default for the failure to
effect such prompt payment of any such other amount. No course of dealing or
conduct shall be effective to amend, modify, waive, release, or change any
provisions of this Note.

       18.    Partial Invalidity. In the event any provision of this Note (or
any part of any provision) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality,
or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision (or remaining part of
the affected provision) of this Note; but this Note shall be construed as if
such

                                  EXHBIT A-11

<PAGE>   116

invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision (or part thereof) had not been
contained in this Note, but only to the extent it is invalid, illegal, or
unenforceable.

       19.    Captions. The captions herein set forth are for convenience only
and shall not be deemed to define, limit, or describe the scope or intent of
this Note.

       20.    Governing Law. The provisions of this Note shall be construed,
interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of
Virginia as the same may be in effect from time to time.

       3.     It is expressly understood and agreed that the indebtedness
evidenced by the Original Note has not been extinguished or discharged hereby
and is consolidated herein. The Borrower and/or the Administrative Agent agree
that the execution of this Note is not intended and shall not cause or result
in a novation with regard to the Original Note.

       4.     This Note may be executed in one or more counterparts each of
which shall constitute an original for all purposes; provided, however, that
all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

       IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent have
caused this Second Amended, Restated and Increased Master Promissory Note to be
executed, under seal, by their duly authorized representatives, as of the date
first written above.

Borrower to the Administrative Agent in the maximum principal amount of
$400,000,000 (as amended, restated or substituted from time to time, the
"Note"). The Credit Facility is subject to the terms and conditions of the
Financing Agreement.

       3.     As a condition precedent to extending the Credit Facility to the
Borrower, the Lenders required that any Wholly Owned Subsidiary or any other
entity affiliated with the Borrower which owns a Facility to be encumbered with
a Deed of Trust to secure the Credit Facility execute this Agreement to evidence
its agreement to the terms of the Financing Documents as applicable.

       4.     The Additional Borrower hereby acknowledges, confirms and agrees
that on and

                                   EXHBIT E-1

<PAGE>   145

as of the date of this Agreement, the Additional Borrower has or will receive
the benefit of certain advances made under the Credit Facility and has granted a
[Mortgage/Deed of Trust], Assignment and Security Agreement of even date
herewith (the "Deed of Trust") covering its Facility located in _____________,
________ and known as "Sunrise of _________" (the "Property") to secure the
Obligations, and as such shall be liable, as provided in the Financing
Documents, for all Obligations (whether incurred or arising prior to, on, or
subsequent to the date hereof) and otherwise bound by all of the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Financing Documents. Without in any way
implying any limitation on any of the provisions of this Agreement, the
Additional Borrower (i) represents and warrants that all of the representations
and warranties contained in the Financing Documents are true and correct on and
as the date hereof as if made on and as of the date hereof, both before and
after giving effect to this Agreement, and that no Event of Default or Default
has occurred and is continuing or exists, or would occur or exist after giving
effect to this Agreement, (ii) promises to pay, jointly and severally with the
Borrower, all sums due or to become due under the Note and the other Financing
Documents, and acknowledges that this Agreement shall constitute an allonge or
other modification to the Note for the purposes of adding the Additional
Borrower as a Borrower, jointly and severally liable with all other Borrowers;
(iii) acknowledges, confirms and agrees that from and after the date hereof
Additional Borrower shall be liable for all Obligations under the Financing
Documents; and (iv) acknowledges, confirms and agrees that from and after the
date hereof the term Borrower as such term (or any similar or related term) is
used in the Note, Financing Agreement, this Agreement or any other Financing
Document shall include the Additional Borrower.

       5.     The Additional Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders that it will derive benefits, directly and
indirectly, from each advance of the Credit Facility, both in its individual
capacity and as a member of the integrated group of entities which together
comprise the Borrower, and the successful operation of the integrated group is
dependent upon the continued successful performance of the functions of the
integrated group as a whole. Additional Borrower acknowledges and agrees that
the terms of the consolidated financing provided under the Financing Agreement
are more favorable than would otherwise would be obtainable by the Additional
Borrower individually, and the Additional Borrower's additional administrative
and other costs and reduced flexibility associated with individual financing
arrangements which would otherwise be required if obtainable would substantially
reduce the value to the Additional Borrower of the financing.

       6.     For administrative convenience, the Additional Borrower hereby
irrevocably appoints Sunrise Assisted Living Investments, Inc. ("SALII") as the
Additional Borrower's attorney-in-fact, with power of substitution (with the
prior written consent of the Administrative Agent in the exercise of its sole
and absolute discretion), in the name of SALII or in the name of the Additional
Borrower or otherwise to take any and all actions with respect to the this
Agreement, the other Financing Documents, the Obligations and/or the Collateral
(including, without limitation, the proceeds thereof) as SALII may so elect from
time to time, including, without limitation, actions to (a) request advances
under the Credit Facility and direct the Administrative Agent to disburse or
credit the proceeds of any Loan directly to an account of

                                   EXHBIT E-2

<PAGE>   146

SALII, any one or more of the other entities comprising the Borrower, the
Additional Borrower or otherwise, which direction shall evidence the making of
such Loan and shall constitute the acknowledgement by the Borrower of the
receipt of the proceeds of such Loan, (b) enter into, execute, deliver, amend,
modify, restate, substitute, extend and/or renew this Agreement, any other
Financing Documents, security agreements, mortgages, deposit account agreements,
instruments, certificates, waivers, letter of credit applications, releases,
documents and agreements from time to time, and (c) endorse any check or other
item of payment in the name of the Additional Borrower or in the name of SALII.
The foregoing appointment is coupled with an interest, cannot be revoked without
the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, and may be exercised from
time to time through SALII's duly authorized officer, officers or other Person
or Persons designated by SALII to act from time to time on behalf of SALII.

       7.     The Additional Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes each of the
Lenders to make Loans to any one or more of the entities comprising the Borrower
pursuant to the provisions of the Financing Agreement upon the written, oral or
telephone request any one or more of the Persons who is from time to time a
Responsible Officer of SALII under the provisions of the most recent certificate
of authorization and/or incumbency of SALII on file with the Administrative
Agent.

       8.     The Additional Borrower acknowledges that neither the
Administrative Agent nor any of the Lenders assumes any responsibility or
liability for any errors, mistakes, and/or discrepancies in the oral,
telephonic, written or other transmissions of any instructions, orders, requests
and confirmations between the Administrative Agent and SALII or the
Administrative Agent and any of the Lenders in connection with the Credit
Facility or any other transaction in connection with the provisions of this
Agreement. The Additional Borrower acknowledges that the Borrowers have agreed
among themselves, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have consented to
that agreement, that each Borrower shall have rights of contribution from all of
the other of them to the extent any Borrower incurs Obligations in excess of the
proceeds of the Loans received by, or allocated to, or advanced for the direct
benefit of, such Borrower. The Additional Borrower acknowledges that all such
indebtedness and rights shall be subordinate in priority and payment to the
indefeasible repayment in full in cash of the Obligations, and, unless the
Administrative Agent agrees in writing otherwise, shall not be exercised or
repaid in whole or in part until all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly
paid in full in cash. The Additional Borrower agrees that all of such
inter-company indebtedness and rights of contribution are part of the Collateral
and secure the Obligations. The Additional Borrower hereby waives all rights of
counterclaim, recoupment and offset between or among the Borrowers arising on
account of that indebtedness and otherwise. The Additional Borrower shall not
evidence the inter-company indebtedness or rights of contribution by note or
other instrument, and shall not secure such indebtedness or rights of
contribution with any Lien or security.

       9.     Without in any way implying any limitation on any of the
provisions of this Agreement, the Financing Agreement, or any of the other
Financing Documents, the Additional Borrower hereby assigns, pledges and grants
to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders as security
for the Obligations, and agrees that the Administrative Agent, for the

                                   EXHBIT E-3

Financing Documents, (c) all right, title and interest of the Additional

and future indebtedness, duties, obligations, and liabilities, whether now
existing or contemplated or hereafter arising, of the Borrower.

       12.    Without in any way implying any limitation on any of the

              (a)    Additional Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably,

its sole and absolute discretion, without notice to or further assent of the

impairing the obligations and liabilities of the Additional Borrower hereunder:

<PAGE>   149

                     (ix)   deal in all respects with any one or more entities

Lenders, and shall not be conditional or contingent upon pursuit or enforcement
by the Administrative Agent of any remedies it may have against the Borrower
with respect to this Agreement, the Note or any of the other Financing
Documents, whether pursuant to the terms thereof or by operation of law. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not be
required to make any demand upon any one or more entities comprising the

effect. It is the intent and purpose of this Section 12 that the Additional
Borrower shall and does hereby waive all rights and benefits which might accrue
to any one or more entities comprising the Borrower by reason of any such
proceeding, and the Additional Borrower agrees that it shall be liable for the
full amount of the obligations and liabilities under this Section 12 regardless
of any modification, limitation or discharge of the liability of any individual
Borrower under any of the Financing Documents, that may result from any such
proceedings.

              (d)    The Additional Borrower, as guarantor under this
Section 12, hereby unconditionally, irrevocably and expressly waives:

                     (i)    presentment and demand for payment of the

of the assets of any one or more of the entities comprising the Borrower;

                     (viii) any act or omission of the Administrative Agent
which changes the scope of the risk as guarantor hereunder; and

                     (ix)   all other notices and demands otherwise required by
law which Additional Borrower may lawfully waive.

              (e)    Within ten (10) days following any request of the
Administrative Agent so to do, the Additional Borrower will furnish the
Administrative Agent and such other persons as the Administrative Agent may
direct with a written certificate, duly acknowledged stating in detail whether

otherwise affect the liability of the

<PAGE>   7

            (n) Any execution or attachment shall be levied against any

     Section 1.8 Rescission of Election to Accelerate.

     In the event the Administrative Agent shall elect to accelerate the
maturity of the Note as to the Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement, such election may be rescinded by written acknowledgment to that
effect by the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that the acceptance of a
partial payment on account of the Note shall not alone effect or rescind such
election.

     Section 1.9 Subordination; Subrogation.

     In the event the Guarantor shall advance any sums to the Borrowers, or in
the event the Borrowers has heretofore or shall hereafter become indebted to the
Guarantor before the Obligations have been paid in full, all such advances and
indebtedness shall be subordinate in all respects to the Obligations (the
"Guarantor Subordinated Debt"). Any payment to the Guarantor after the
occurrence of an Event of Default on account of the Guarantor Subordinated Debt
shall be collected and received by the Administrative Agent or the Guarantor in
trust for the Lenders and shall be paid over to the Lenders on account of the
Obligations without impairing or releasing the obligations of the Guarantor
hereunder.

     Without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the
Guarantor shall not ask, demand, receive, accept, sue for, set off, collect or
enforce the Guarantor Subordinated Debt or any collateral and security therefor.
The Guarantor represents and warrants to the Lenders that the Guarantor
Subordinated Debt is unsecured and agrees not to receive or accept any
collateral or security therefor without the prior written permission of the
Administrative Agent. The Guarantor shall assign, transfer, hypothecate or
dispose of the Guarantor Subordinated Debt while this Agreement is in effect. In
the event of any sale, receivership, insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding, or
assignment for the benefit of creditors, or any proceeding by or against the
Borrowers for any relief under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or other laws
relating to the relief of debtors, readjustment of indebtedness,
reorganizations, compositions or extensions, then and in any such event any
payment or distribution of any kind or character, either in cash, securities or
other property, which shall be payable or deliverable upon, or with respect to,
all or any part of the Guarantor Subordinated Debt or otherwise shall be paid or
delivered directly to the Administrative Agent for application to the
obligations and liabilities of the Guarantor under this Agreement (whether due
or not due and in such order and manner as the Administrative Agent may
determine in the exercise of its sole discretion) until the obligations of the
Guarantor hereunder shall have been fully paid and satisfied. The Guarantor
hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Lenders to demand, sue for,
collect and receive every such payment or distribution on account of the
Guarantor Subordinated Debt and give acquittance therefor and to file claims and
take such other proceedings in the name of the Lenders or in the names of the
Guarantor or otherwise, as the Lenders may deem necessary or advisable to carry
out the provisions of this Agreement. The Guarantor hereby agrees to execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent such powers of attorney, assignments,
endorsements or other instruments

                                       7
<PAGE>   8
as may be requested by the Administrative Agent in order to enable the Lenders
to enforce any and all claims upon, or with respect to, the Guarantor
Subordinated Debt, and to collect and receive any and all payments or
distributions which may be payable or deliverable at any time upon or with
respect thereto.

     So as to secure the performance by the Guarantor of the provisions of this
Agreement, the Guarantor assigns, pledges and grants to the Lenders a security
interest in, and lien on, the Guarantor Subordinated Debt, all proceeds thereof
and all and any security and collateral therefor. Upon the request of the
Administrative Agent, the Guarantor shall endorse, assign and deliver to the
Administrative Agent all notes, instruments and agreements evidencing, securing,
guarantying or made in connection with the Guarantor Subordinated Debt.

     Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement to the contrary,
if the Guarantor is or at any time becomes an "insider" (as defined from time to
time in Section 101 of the United States Bankruptcy Code) with respect to the
Borrowers, or any other guarantor, then the Guarantor irrevocably and absolutely
waives any and all rights of contribution, indemnification, reimbursement,
subrogation or any similar rights against the Borrowers and/or any such
guarantor, with respect to this Guaranty (including any right of subrogation)
whether such rights arise under an express or implied contract or by operation
of law. It is the intention of the Guarantor that it shall not be deemed to be a
"creditor" (as defined in Section 101 of the United States Bankruptcy Code) of
the Borrowers, or any such guarantor, by reason of the existence of this
Agreement in the event that the Borrowers or any such guarantor, becomes a
debtor in any proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code. This waiver is
given to induce the Lenders to make the Loans to the Borrowers.

     Section 1.10 Mandatory Arbitration.

     Any controversy or claim between or among the parties hereto including but
not limited to those arising out of or relating to this Guaranty or any related
agreements or instruments, including any claim based on or arising from an
alleged tort, shall be determined by binding arbitration in accordance with the
Federal Arbitration Act (or if not applicable, the applicable state law), as
promulgated from time to time by the Rules of Practice and Procedure for the
Arbitration of Commercial Disputes of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation
Services, Inc., predecessor in interest to Endispute, Inc., doing business as
"J.A.M.S./Endispute" and the "Special Rules" set forth below. In the event of
any inconsistency, the Special Rules shall control. Judgment upon any
arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Any party to
this Guaranty may bring an action, including a summary or expedited proceeding,
to compel arbitration of any controversy or claim to which this agreement
applies in any court having jurisdiction over such action. The foregoing
notwithstanding, in a claim pertaining to a Deed of Trust or Collateral located
in a state with "one-action" rule which might limit to Lenders' remedies, the
Administrative Agent shall have the right in its sole discretion to restrict the
application of this arbitration provision to the extent that it would otherwise
result in a limitation on the Lenders' remedies in such state.

     (i) Special Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in Fairfax County,
Virginia and administered by J.A.M.S./Endispute who will appoint an arbitrator
pursuant to its rules of

                                        8

<PAGE>   9
practice and procedure; if J.A.M.S./Endispute is unable or legally precluded
from administering the arbitration, then the American Arbitration Association
will serve. All arbitration hearings will be commenced within ninety (90)
calendar days of the demand for arbitration; further, the arbitrator shall only,
upon a showing of cause, be permitted to extend the commencement of such hearing
for up to an additional sixty (60) calendar days.

     (ii) Reservations of Rights. Nothing in this Guaranty shall be deemed to
(i) limit the applicability of any otherwise applicable statutes of limitation
or repose and any waivers contained in this Guaranty; or (ii) be a waiver by the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders of the protection afforded to it by 12
U.S.C. Sec. 91 or any substantially equivalent state law; or (iii) limit the
right of Lender (A) to exercise self help remedies such as (but not limited to)
setoff, or (B) to foreclose against any real or personal property collateral, or
(C) to obtain from a court provisional or ancillary remedies such as (but not
limited to) injunctive relief or the appointment of a receiver. The Lenders may
exercise such self help rights, foreclose upon such property, or obtain such
provisional or ancillary remedies before, during or after the pendency of any
arbitration proceeding brought pursuant to this Guaranty. At the Administrative
Agent or the Lenders' option, foreclosure under a deed of trust or mortgage may
be accomplished by any of the following: the exercise of a power of sale under
the deed of trust or mortgage, or by judicial sale under the deed of trust or
mortgage, or by judicial foreclosure. Neither the exercise of self help remedies
nor the institution or maintenance of an action for foreclosure or provisional
or ancillary remedies shall constitute a waiver of the right of any party,
including the claimant in any such action, to arbitrate the merits of the
controversy or claim occasioning resort to such remedies. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that the Lender exercises such self help remedies or
other actions, the Guarantor has not waived any of its rights to seek legal or
equitable relief to defend against the Administrative Agent's or Lenders'
exercise of such self help remedies or other actions. No provision in the
Financing Documents regarding submission to jurisdiction and/or venue in any
court is intended or shall be construed to be in derogation of the provisions in
any Financing Document for arbitration of any controversy or claim.

     (iii) Confidentiality. Any arbitration proceeding, award, findings of fact,
conclusions of law, or other information concerning such arbitration matters
shall be held in confidence by the parties and shall not be disclosed except to
each party's employees or agents as shall be reasonably necessary for such party
to conduct its business; provided, however, that either party may disclose such
information for auditing purposes by independent certified accounts, for
complying with applicable governmental laws, regulations or court orders, or
that is or becomes part of the public domain through no breach of this
Agreement.

owned by it therein or in which the transaction of its business makes such

execute and deliver this Agreement and the other Financing Documents to which it
is a party and to incur and perform the Obligations whether under this
Agreement, the other Financing Documents or otherwise, all of which have been
duly authorized by all proper and necessary action. No consent or approval of
shareholders, members, or any creditors of the Guarantor, and no consent,
approval, filing or registration with or notice to any Governmental Authority on
the part of the Guarantor, is required as a condition to the execution,
delivery, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or the other Financing
Documents or the performance by the Guarantor of the Obligations.

          (c) Binding Agreements. This Agreement and the other Financing
Documents executed and delivered by the Guarantor have been properly executed
and delivered and constitute the valid and legally binding obligations of the
Guarantor and are fully enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with
their respective terms, subject to (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other laws affecting creditors' rights generally, (b) general
principles of equity (regardless of whether such principles of equity are
asserted in an action or proceeding at law or in equity) or the discretion of
the court before which any action or proceeding may be brought and (c) other
applicable laws which may limit the enforceability of certain of the remedial or
procedural provisions contained in this Agreement.

          (d) Compliance with Laws. The Guarantor is not in violation of any
applicable Laws (including, without limitation, any Laws relating to employment
practices, to environmental, occupational and health standards and controls) or
order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any court, arbitrator, or any
Governmental Authority affecting the Guarantor or any of its properties, the
violation of which, considered in the aggregate, could materially adversely
affect the business, operations or properties of the Guarantor.

          (e) Litigation. There are no proceedings, actions or investigations
pending or, so far as the Guarantor knows, threatened before or by any court,
arbitrator or any Governmental Authority which, in any one case or in the

a material adverse effect on the business, properties, condition (financial or
otherwise) or operations, present or prospective, of the Guarantor.

          (f) Financial Condition. The financial statements of the Guarantor
dated December 31, 1998 are complete and correct and fairly present the
financial position of the Guarantor and the results of its operations and
transactions in its surplus accounts as of the date and for the period referred
to and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis
throughout the period involved. There are no liabilities, direct or indirect,
fixed or contingent, of the Guarantor as of the date of such financial
statements which are not reflected therein or in the notes thereto. There has
been no Material Adverse Change in the financial condition or operations of the
Guarantor since the date of such financial statements and to the Guarantor's
knowledge no such Material Adverse Change is pending or threatened. The
Guarantor has not guaranteed the obligations of, or made any investment in or
advances to, any

                                       10

Person, except as disclosed in such financial statements or as otherwise
disclosed in writing to the Lenders. The representations and warranties
contained in this Section shall also cover financial statements furnished from
time to time to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section of this Agreement.

          (g) Full Disclosure. The financial statements referred to in Section
2.1(f) of this Agreement, the Financing Documents (including, without
limitation, this Agreement), and the statements, reports or certificates
furnished by the Guarantor in connection with the Financing Documents (i) do not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact and (ii) when taken in their
entirety, do not omit any material fact necessary to make the statements
contained therein not misleading. There is no fact known to the Guarantor which
the Guarantor has not disclosed to the Lenders in writing prior to the date of
this Agreement which constitutes a Material Adverse Change with respect to the
Guarantor or in the future could, in the reasonable opinion of the Guarantor,
constitute a Material Adverse Change with respect to the Guarantor.

Borrowers and will derive a benefit from the Loan.

     Section 3.3 Negative Covenants.

consolidation or acquisition of the Guarantor pursuant to which the Guarantor
retains its corporate identity and Paul J. Klaassen or Teresa M. Klaassen
remains the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer with
responsibility for managing the businesses of the Guarantor and which does not

Credit Facility. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantor
and its subsidiaries will not sell more than twenty (20) Facilities (excluding
Facilities now classified as Assets Held for Sale) during any twelve (12) month

acquisition will result in a Material Adverse Change.

or grant options or rights to purchase its capital stock and there shall be no
limitations on the right of shareholders of the Guarantor to pledge, assign,

Federal Securities Act and is traded on a National Securities Exchange or NASDAQ
national market, and (2) either Paul J. Klaassen or Teresa M. Klaassen is the
Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board with responsibility for
managing the businesses of the Guarantor; and provided, that, the Guarantor
shall provide written notice to Administrative Agent of transfers of stock in
the Guarantor under such circumstances and in such manner as the Guarantor is
required to give notice thereof to the Securities Exchange Commission.

          (e) ERISA Compliance. (A) Restate or amend any Plan established and
maintained by the Guarantor or any Commonly Controlled Entity and subject to the
requirements of ERISA, in a manner designed to disqualify such Plan and its
related trusts under the applicable requirements of the Code; (B) permit any

ERISA; (F) fail to notify the Administrative Agent that notice has been received
of a "termination" (as defined in ERISA) of any Multiemployer Plan to which the

or "partial withdrawal" (as defined in ERISA) from any Multiemployer Plan to
which the Guarantor or any Commonly Controlled Entity has an obligation to
contribute; or (H) fail to notify the Administrative Agent that notice has been
received from the administrator of any Multiemployer Plan to which the Guarantor
or any Commonly Controlled Entity has an obligation to contribute that any such

     Section 4.2 Amendments; Waivers.

     This Agreement may not be amended, modified, or changed in any respect
except by an agreement in writing signed by the Administrative Agent and the
Guarantor. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement, nor consent to any
departure by the Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the
same shall be in writing. No course of dealing between the Guarantor and the
Lenders and no act or failure to act from time to time on the part of the
Lenders shall constitute a waiver, amendment or modification of any provision of
this Agreement or any right or remedy under this Agreement or under applicable
Laws.

     Without implying any limitation on the foregoing:

          (a) any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific
instance, for the terms and purpose for which given, subject to such conditions
as the Administrative Agent may specify in any such instrument.

          (b) no waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall extend to any
subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent
thereto.

          (c) no notice to or demand on the Guarantor in any case shall entitle
the Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or
other circumstance.

          (d) no failure or delay by the Lenders to insist upon the strict
performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement of this Agreement or
of any of the other Financing

                                       18
<PAGE>   19

Documents, or to exercise any right, power or remedy consequent upon a breach
thereof, shall constitute a waiver, amendment or modification of any such term,
condition, covenant or agreement or of any such breach or preclude the Lenders
from exercising any such right, power or remedy at any time or times.

          (e) by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable
under this Agreement or under any of the other Financing Documents, the Lenders
shall not be deemed to waive the right either to require prompt payment when due
of all other amounts payable under this Agreement or under any of the other
Financing Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect such prompt
payment of any such other amount.

     Section 4.3 Cumulative Remedies.

     The rights, powers and remedies provided in this Agreement and in the other
Financing Documents are cumulative, may be exercised concurrently or separately,
may be exercised from time to time and in such order as the Lenders shall
determine and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, rights, powers and
remedies provided by existing or future applicable Laws. In order to entitle the
Lenders to exercise any remedy reserved to them in this Agreement, it shall not
be necessary to give any notice, other than such notice as may be expressly
required in this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Lenders may:

          (a) proceed against the Guarantor with or without proceeding against
the Borrowers and any other guarantor or any other Person who may be liable for
all or any part of the Obligations;

          (b) proceed against the Guarantor with or without proceeding under any
of the other Financing Documents or against any Collateral or other collateral
and security for all or any part of the Obligations;

          (c) without reducing or impairing the obligation of the Guarantor and
without notice, release or compromise with any other Person liable for all or
any part of the Obligations under the Financing Documents or otherwise;

          (d) without reducing or impairing the obligations of the Guarantor and
without notice thereof: (a) fail to perfect the Lien in any or all Collateral or
to release any or all the Collateral or to accept substitute Collateral, (b)
approve the making of advances under the Loans under the Loan Agreement, (c)
waive any provision of this Agreement or the other Financing Documents, (d)
exercise or fail to exercise rights of set-off or other rights, or (e) accept
partial payments or extend from time to time the maturity of all or any part of
the Obligations.

     Section 4.4 Severability.

     In case one or more provisions, or part thereof, contained in this
Agreement or in the other Financing Documents shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect under any Law, then without need for any further
agreement, notice or action:

                                       19
<PAGE>   20

          (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions shall remain effective and binding on the parties thereto and shall
not be affected or impaired thereby;

          (b) the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of
such validity;

          (c) if such provision or part thereof pertains to repayment of the
Obligations, then, at the sole and absolute discretion of the Lenders, all of
the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable; and

          (d) if the affected provision or part thereof does not pertain to
repayment of the Obligations, but operates or would prospectively operate to
invalidate this Agreement in whole or in part, then such provision or part
thereof only shall be void, and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain
operative and in full force and effect.

     Section 4.5 Assignments by Lenders.

     The Lenders may, without notice to, or consent of, the Guarantor, sell,
assign or transfer to or participate with any Person or Persons, including a
Federal Reserve Bank, all or any part of the Obligations and the rights under
this Agreement and the Note, and each such Person or Persons shall have the
right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Financing
Documents as fully as the Lenders, provided that the Lenders shall continue to
have the unimpaired right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement and any of
the other Financing Documents as to so much of the Obligations that such Lender
has not sold, assigned or transferred. In connection with the foregoing, the
Lenders shall have the right to disclose to any such actual or potential
purchaser, assignee, transferee or participant all financial records,
information, reports, financial statements and documents obtained in connection
with this Agreement and any of the other Financing Documents or otherwise. In
connection with any sale, assignment, transfer or participation to a Person who
is an affiliate or successor of the Lenders, such Lender shall give notice to
Borrowers of such transaction either before or after the transaction has
occurred as such Lender shall determine; however, such Lender shall give notice
to the Borrowers in advance of any such transaction with a non-affiliate.

     Section 4.6 Successors and Assigns.

     This Agreement shall be binding upon the Guarantor and its respective
successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Lenders and their
respective successors and assigns.

     Section 4.7 Continuing Agreements.

     All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the
Guarantor in this Agreement and in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto
shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans and the execution and
delivery of the Note, shall be binding upon the Guarantor regardless of how long
before or after the date hereof any of the Obligations were or are incurred, and
shall continue in full force and effect so long as any of the Obligations are
outstanding and unpaid. From time to time upon the Administrative Agent's
request, and as a

                                       20
<PAGE>   21

condition of the release of any one or more of the Security Documents, the
Guarantor and other Persons obligated with respect to the Obligations shall
provide the Administrative Agent with such acknowledgments and agreements as the
Administrative Agent may require to the effect that there exists no defenses,
rights of setoff or recoupment, claims, counterclaims, actions or causes of
action of any kind or nature whatsoever against the Lenders, their respective
agents and others, or to the extent there are, the same are waived and released.

     Section 4.8 Enforcement Costs.

     The Guarantor agrees to pay to the Lenders on demand all Enforcement Costs,
together with interest thereon from the date incurred or advanced until paid in
full at a per annum rate of interest equal at all times to the Post-Default
Rate. Enforcement Costs shall be immediately due and payable at the time
advanced or incurred, whichever is earlier. Without implying any limitation on
the foregoing, the Guarantor agrees, as part of the Enforcement Costs, to pay
upon demand any and all stamp and other Taxes and fees payable or determined to
be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and
to save the Lenders harmless from and against any and all liabilities with
respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omission to pay any Taxes or
fees referred to in this Section. The provisions of this Section shall survive
the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the repayment of the other
Obligations and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

     Section 4.9 Applicable Law.

     As a material inducement to the Lenders to enter into this Agreement, the
Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that the Financing Documents, including, this
Agreement, shall be governed by the Laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia as if
each of the Financing Documents and this Agreement had each been executed,
delivered, administered and performed solely within the Commonwealth of Virginia
even though for the convenience and at the request of the Borrowers, one or more
of the Financing Documents may be executed elsewhere. The Lenders acknowledge,
however, that remedies under certain of the Financing Documents which relate to
property outside the Commonwealth of Virginia may be subject to the laws of the
state in which the property is located.

     Section 4.10 Duplicate Originals and Counterparts.

     This Agreement may be executed in any number of duplicate originals or
counterparts, each of such duplicate originals or counterparts shall be deemed
to be an original and all taken together shall constitute but one and the same
instrument.

     Section 4.11 Headings.

     The headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience only,
shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose, and shall
not be deemed to affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions
hereof.
                                       21
<PAGE>   22

     Section 4.12 No Partnership - Third Parties.

     Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed in a manner to
create any relationship between the Guarantor and any of the Lenders other than
the relationship of guarantor and lenders and the Guarantor and the Lenders
shall not be considered partners or co-venturers for any purpose. The terms and
provisions of this Agreement are for the benefit of the Lenders and their
respective successors, assigns, endorsees and transferees and all persons
claiming under or through it and no other person shall have any right or cause
of action on account thereof. The Lenders have no obligation to make any advance
of any Loans for the benefit of the Guarantor; the Guarantor has no beneficial
interest in the proceeds of the Loans or rights or claims under the Financing
Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents. The obligations and
liabilities of the Guarantor shall in no manner be affected by the actual use of
the proceeds of the Loans or whether the Lenders waive any or all of the
conditions to advances set forth in the Financing Agreement.

     Section 4.13 Entire Agreement.

     The Financing Documents shall completely and fully supersede all prior
agreements, both written and oral, between the Lenders and the Borrowers
relating to the Loans. Neither the Lenders, the Borrowers nor the Guarantor
shall hereafter have any rights under such prior agreements but shall look
solely to the Financing Documents for definition and determination of all of
their respective rights, liabilities and responsibilities relating to the
Obligations.

     Section 4.14 Consent to Jurisdiction.

     The Guarantor irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any state or
federal court sitting in the Commonwealth of Virginia over any suit, action, or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement. The Guarantor
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that
it may now or hereafter have to laying the venue of any such suit, action, or
proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action,
or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient
forum. Final judgment in any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any
such court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Guarantor and may be
enforced in any court to the jurisdiction of which the Guarantor is subject, by
a suit upon such judgment provided that service of process is effected upon the
Guarantor in a manner specified in this Agreement or as otherwise permitted by
applicable law.

     Section 4.15 Service of Process.

     The Guarantor hereby consents to process being served in any suit, action,
or proceeding instituted in connection with this Agreement by (a) the mailing of
a copy thereof by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to
it at its address designated in Section 4.1 hereof and (b) serving a copy
thereof upon Wayne G. Tatusko, Esquire, 7929 Westpark Drive, McLean, Virginia
22102, the agent hereby designated and appointed as its agent for service of
process. The Guarantor irrevocably agrees that such service (i) shall be deemed
in every respect to be effective service of process upon it in any such suit,
action, or proceeding and (ii) shall, to

                                       22
<PAGE>   23

the fullest extent permitted by law, be taken and held to be valid personal
service upon the Guarantor. Nothing in this Section shall affect the right of
the Lenders to serve process in any manner otherwise permitted by law or limit
the right of the Lenders otherwise to bring proceedings against the Guarantor in
the courts of any other jurisdiction or jurisdictions.

     Section 4.16 WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY.

     THE GUARANTOR AND THE LENDERS HEREBY JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY
JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING NOT REQUIRED TO BE ARBITRATED PURSUANT TO THE
TERMS HEREOF TO WHICH THE GUARANTOR AND THE LENDERS, OR ANY OF THEM, MAY BE
PARTIES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY PERTAINING TO (A) THIS AGREEMENT, (B) ANY
OF THE FINANCING DOCUMENTS, OR (C) THE COLLATERAL. THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A
WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OF ALL CLAIMS AGAINST ALL PARTIES TO SUCH ACTIONS OR
PROCEEDINGS, INCLUDING CLAIMS AGAINST PARTIES WHO ARE NOT PARTIES TO THIS
AGREEMENT.

     This waiver is knowingly, willingly and voluntarily made by the Guarantor
and the Lenders, and the Guarantor and the Lenders hereby represent that no
representations of fact or opinion have been made by any individual to induce
this waiver of trial by jury or to in any way modify or nullify its effect. The
Guarantor and the Lenders further represent that they have been represented in
the signing of this Agreement and in the making of this waiver by independent
legal counsel, selected of their own free will, and that they have had the
opportunity to discuss this waiver with counsel.

     Section 4.17 Liability of the Lenders.

     The Guarantor hereby agrees that the Lenders shall not be chargeable for
any negligence, mistake, act or omission of any accountant, examiner, agency or
attorney employed by the Lenders in making examinations, investigations or
collections, or otherwise in perfecting, maintaining, protecting or realizing
upon any lien or security interest or any other interest in the Collateral or
other security for the Obligations.

     By inspecting the Collateral or any other properties of the Borrowers or by
accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed or fulfilled
by the Borrowers or to be given to the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement or any
of the other Financing Documents, the Lenders shall not be deemed to have
warranted or represented the condition, sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or
legal effect of the same, and such acceptance or approval shall not constitute
any warranty or representation with respect thereto by the Lenders.

     Section 4.18 Reinstatement.

     If at any time any payment, or portion thereof, made by, or for the account
of, the Borrowers or the Guarantor on account of any of the obligations and
liabilities arising hereunder or under any of the Financing Documents is set
aside by any court or trustee having jurisdiction

                                       23
<PAGE>   24

as a voidable preference or fraudulent conveyance or must otherwise be restored
or returned by the Lenders to the Borrowers or to the Guarantor under any
insolvency, bankruptcy or other federal and/or state laws or as a result of any
dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrowers or upon, or as a
result of, the appointment of any receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or
trustee, or similar officer for, the Borrowers or any substantial part of its
properties or assets, the Guarantor hereby agrees that this Agreement shall
continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may
be, all as though such payment(s) had not been made.

     Section 4.19 Complete and Final Expression of Agreement.

     This Agreement is intended by the Lenders and the Guarantor to be a
complete, exclusive and final expression of the agreements contained herein. No
course of dealing, course of performance or trade usage, and no parol evidence
of any nature, shall be used to supplement or modify any terms of this
Agreement. The Lenders and the Guarantor further agrees that there are no
conditions to the full effectiveness of this Agreement, unless otherwise
expressly stated herein. The Guarantor has unconditionally delivered this
Agreement to the Administrative Agent, and failure to sign this or any other
guarantee by any other person shall not discharge the liability of the Guarantor
hereunder.
