   The  following  summary is  qualified  in its  entirety by the more  detailed
information  and financial  statements,  including the notes thereto,  appearing
elsewhere in this Prospectus.  Prospective  investors should carefully  consider
the information set forth under "Risk Factors."

                                 THE COMPANY

   The Company provides  assisted living and related services to the private pay
elderly market. Assisted living facilities combine housing, personalized support
and healthcare services in a cost-effective,  non-institutional setting designed
to address the individual needs of the elderly who need regular  assistance with
activities  of daily  living,  such as eating,  bathing,  dressing  and personal
hygiene,  but who do not require the level of  healthcare  provided in a skilled
nursing facility.  The Company  currently  operates 17 assisted living and other
senior housing facilities  containing 1,808 units in six states. The 1,808 units
operated by the Company  consist of 1,183 assisted  living units  (including 162
units devoted to Alzheimer's  and dementia care),  544 independent  living units
for persons who  require  occasional  assistance  with the  activities  of daily
living,  and 81 skilled  nursing  units.  The  Company is pursuing a strategy of
rapid growth through development and acquisition and intends to acquire, develop
or obtain agreements to manage approximately 60 to 75 assisted living facilities
per year in each of the  next  three  years.  As part of this  strategy,  ILC is
currently  developing  35  new  assisted  living  facilities,  of  which  25 are
scheduled  to open during  1997,  has  entered  into  agreements  to acquire two
additional facilities containing 312 units simultaneous with the closing of this
offering and to lease two  facilities  containing  70 units,  and is  evaluating
numerous additional acquisition  opportunities.  All of ILC's 1995 revenues from
its owned and leased facilities were derived from private-pay sources.

   The  Company's  objective  is to expand  its  operations  to become a leading
provider of high-quality,  affordable assisted living services.  Key elements of
the  Company's  strategy to achieve  this goal are to: (i) provide  high-quality
healthcare-oriented   services;   (ii)  grow  rapidly  through  development  and
acquisition   of  assisted   living   facilities;   (iii)  utilize  a  flexible,
cost-effective  approach for the development of new assisted living  facilities;
and (iv) target a broad segment of the private-pay population.

   The  assisted  living  industry is highly  fragmented  and  characterized  by
numerous  small   operators   whose  scope  of  services  vary  widely.   Annual
expenditures for assisted living services were estimated to be $10 to 12 billion
in 1995.  The Company  believes that factors  contributing  to the growth of the
assisted living industry include: (i) the aging of the U.S. population; (ii) the
increasing  affluence of the elderly and their  families;  (iii) the  decreasing
availability  of family care in the home;  (iv) consumer  preference for greater
independence and a less institutional  setting;  (v) the increasing  emphasis by
both federal and state governments and private insurers on containing  long-term
care costs;  and (vi) the reduced  availability of skilled nursing beds for less
medically intensive residents.  The Company believes that the foregoing factors,
combined with the  fragmented  nature of the industry and the  inexperience  and
lack of resources of many operators,  have created a significant opportunity for
ILC to become a leading  provider of  high-quality,  affordable  assisted living
services.

   The Company  believes  that its approach to the  development  of new assisted
living  facilities  differs  from  that of many  other  operators.  Unlike  many
assisted  living  operators,  the Company intends to rely primarily on a limited
number  of  third-party  developers,  rather  than  maintain  a  large  internal
development staff. ILC currently has relationships with three developers,  which
developers  are  responsible  for  32  of  the  35  facilities  currently  under
development  by the Company.  The Company has,  together with these  developers,
developed  three  flexible  and  expandable   prototype  building  designs.  The
flexibility  feature is expected  to allow the  facility's  assisted  living and
Alzheimer's bed allotment to be quickly and cost-effectively  reconfigured based
on changing market demand.  The  expandability  feature is expected to allow the
prototype buildings to be easily and cost-effectively expanded with little or no
disruption to current operations.  The Company believes its development approach
will offer many advantages, including better construction quality control, lower
architectural  and engineering  fees, bulk purchasing of materials and fixtures,
and faster development and construction schedules.

(1)  The pro forma  statement of operations data for the year ended December 31,
     1995 was prepared as if the Company's interest in the following  facilities
     had  been  acquired  on  January  1,  1995:   Vintage   Healthcare   Center
     ("Vintage"),  which was leased by the Company  commencing January 29, 1996;
     Terrace Gardens Healthcare and Retirement Center ("Terrace Gardens"), which
     the  Company  has agreed to acquire  simultaneous  with the closing of this
     offering;  Homestead of Garden City ("Garden  City"),  which the Company is
     scheduled to lease  commencing in June 1996; and Carrington  Pointe,  which
     the Company acquired effective  December 31, 1995.  Effective June 1, 1996,
     the Company received as a capital contribution condominium interests in the
     assisted living and related  portions of the Vintage,  Treemont  Retirement
     Community  ("Treemont") and West Palm Beach Retirement  ("West Palm Beach")
     facilities which the Company had previously  leased from IHS.  Accordingly,
     the pro forma  statement of  operations  data is adjusted to decrease  rent
     expense  associated  with these  facilities  and to  increase  depreciation
     resulting from the receipt of a condominium interest in these facilities.

                                4

<PAGE>
     The pro forma  statement  of  operations  data is also  adjusted to reflect
     management's  estimate  of  the  additional  corporate  administrative  and
     general  expense  that  would have been  incurred  during the period if the
     Company had operated on a stand-alone  basis. No pro forma adjustments have
     been made to reflect the  operations of the  Homestead of Wichita  facility
     ("Homestead  Wichita"),   which  the  Company  has  agreed  to  lease  upon
     completion of construction, or the Cabot Pointe facility, which the Company
     has  agreed to acquire  simultaneous  with the  closing  of this  offering,
     because  such  facilities  were not in  operation  at March 31,  1996.  See
     "Company History," "Use of Proceeds," "Pro Forma Financial Information" and
     "Business -- Properties."

(2)  The pro forma statement of operations data for the three months ended March
     31, 1996 was prepared as if the Company's interest in the Vintage,  Terrace
     Gardens and Garden City facilities had been acquired on January 1, 1996. In
     addition,  the pro forma  statement of  operations  data is adjusted to (i)
     decrease rent expense  associated with the Vintage,  Treemont and West Palm
     Beach facilities and to increase depreciation resulting from the receipt of
     a condominium  interest in these  facilities  and (ii)  increase  corporate
     administrative and general expenses to reflect management's estimate of the
     additional  expense that would have been incurred  during the period if the
     Company had operated on a stand-alone  basis. No pro forma adjustments have
     been made to reflect the proposed  acquisitions  of  Homestead  Wichita and
     Cabot Pointe  because these  facilities  were not in operation at March 31,
     1996.  See  "Company  History,"  "Use of  Proceeds,"  "Pro Forma  Financial
     Information" and "Business -- Properties."

(3)  The Company has grown substantially through acquisitions,  which materially
     affects the  comparability  of the financial  data  reflected  herein.  See
     "Company History" and "Certain Transactions."

(4)  In 1995, the Company  implemented  Financial  Accounting  Standards Board's
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 in connection with IHS'
     implementation   thereof.   Through  evaluation  of  the  recent  financial
     performance and a recent  appraisal of one of its  facilities,  the Company
     estimated the fair value of this facility and determined  that the carrying
     value of certain  long-lived  assets,  including goodwill and buildings and
     improvements,  exceeded  their fair value.  The excess  carrying  value was
     written off and is included in the  statement of  operations  for 1995 as a
     loss on impairment of long-lived assets.  See "Management's  Discussion and
     Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

(5)  The pro forma weighted  average  shares  outstanding is presented as if the
     Company sold 967,742  shares of Common  Stock,  representing  the number of
     shares  required to be sold at the assumed initial public offering price of
     $16.50 per share (net of estimated underwriting discounts) in order for the
     Company to pay the purchase price for the Cabot Pointe and Terrace  Gardens
     facilities. See "Use of Proceeds."

(6)  The pro forma  balance  sheet data as of March 31, 1996 was  prepared as if
     the acquisition of the Cabot Pointe and Terrace Gardens facilities, both of
     which are expected to close simultaneous with the closing of this offering,
     and the capital contribution of the condominium  interests in the Treemont,
     Vintage and West Palm Beach facilities had been consummated as of March 31,
     1996. No pro forma adjustments have been made to reflect the acquisition of
     leasehold  interests in the Garden City and  Homestead  Wichita  facilities
     because  such  acquisitions  will have no effect on the  Company's  balance
     sheet.  See "Company  History,"  "Use of  Proceeds,"  "Pro Forma  Financial
     Information" and "Business -- Properties."

(7)  Adjusted to reflect (i) the transactions reflected in note 6 above and (ii)
     the sale of 3,100,000  shares of Common Stock offered by the Company hereby
     at an assumed  initial  public  offering  price of $16.50 per share and the
     application of the estimated net proceeds therefrom as described under "Use
     of Proceeds."

             RELATIONSHIPS WITH INTEGRATED HEALTH SERVICES, INC.

   The Company is a wholly-owned  subsidiary of Integrated Health Services, Inc.
Upon completion of this offering,  IHS and its directors and executive  officers
will  continue  to  beneficially  own  approximately   23.0%  of  the  Company's
outstanding Common Stock (approximately 20.7% if the Underwriters exercise their
over-allotment   option  in  full),  and  IHS  will  be  the  Company's  largest

election of directors and the approval of extraordinary transactions. Currently,
two of the six members of the  Company's  Board of Directors  are  directors and
executive  officers of IHS.  Prior to this  offering,  IHS provided  capital and
healthcare and administrative  services to the Company.  Following completion of
this offering certain of these  arrangements and services will be terminated and
others will be  modified.  See "Risk  Factors -- Prior  Dependence  on IHS," "--
Potential Conflicts of Interest with IHS" and "Certain Transactions."

                                  RISK FACTORS

   Prospective  purchasers  of the Common Stock offered  hereby should  consider
carefully the factors set forth below, as well as other information contained in
this  Prospectus,  before making a decision to purchase the Common Stock offered
hereby.  This  Prospectus  contains,  in  addition  to  historical  information,
forward-looking  statements that involve risks and uncertainties.  The Company's
actual results could differ  materially.  Factors that could cause or contribute
to such  differences  include,  but are not limited to, those discussed below as
well as those discussed elsewhere in this Prospectus.

RECENT ORGANIZATION; HISTORY OF LOSSES; ANTICIPATED OPERATING LOSSES

   The  Company  was  organized  in  November  1995 to own,  operate and develop
assisted living facilities and has a limited operating  history.  The Company is
currently  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of  IHS,  which  operated  15 of  the 17
facilities  currently  operated  by  the  Company  until  such  operations  were
transferred to the Company upon its  formation.  For the year ended December 31,
1995 and the three  months  ended  March 31,  1996,  the  Company had net income
(loss) of $(3,320,000) and $487,000,  respectively. On a pro forma basis, giving
effect  to the  acquisition  of two  facilities  which  are  expected  to  close
simultaneous  with  the  closing  of  this  offering  and the  acquisition  of a
leasehold interest in two facilities,  one of which is expected to close in June
1996 and the other in July 1996 (the "Proposed  Acquisitions"),  the acquisition
of the Carrington  Pointe facility and the  contribution by IHS to the Company's
capital of the  condominium  interests  in the  Treemont,  Vintage and West Palm
Beach  facilities  as if such  transactions  had occurred on January 1, 1995, as
well as the related  adjustments to facility rents,  depreciation  and corporate
administrative  and general  expense,  the net income  (loss) for the year ended
December  31,  1995 and the three  months  ended  March 31, 1996 would have been
$(2,865,000) and $357,000, respectively. See "Pro Forma Financial Information."

   The  Company's  growth  strategy   focuses  on  the  rapid   acquisition  and
development of assisted living facilities. The Company currently expects to open
25 newly developed assisted living facilities in 1997, all of which are expected
to incur start-up losses for at least eight months after commencing  operations.
The Company  estimates  that it will take  approximately  six to 12 months for a
newly  developed  assisted  living  facility  to achieve a  stabilized  level of
occupancy. As a result, the Company expects to incur losses at least through the
end of 1997. The Company may incur additional  operating losses thereafter if it
fails  to  achieve  expected  occupancy  rates at newly  acquired  or  developed
facilities or if expenses related to the  development,  acquisition or operation
of newly acquired or developed facilities exceed  expectations.  There can be no
assurance as to when the Company's operations will become profitable, if at all.
The inability to achieve profitability at a newly acquired or developed facility
on a timely  basis  could  have an  adverse  effect on the  Company's  business,
operating  results and  financial  condition  and the market price of the Common
Stock.  The success of the Company's  future  operations is dependent to a large
extent on expansion of the Company's operational base. There can be no assurance
that  the  Company  will  not  experience  unforeseen  expenses,   difficulties,
complications  and  delays  which  could  result  in  greater  than  anticipated
operating  losses  or  otherwise   materially  adversely  affect  the  Company's
business,  financial  condition  and results of  operations.  See  "Management's
Discussion  and Analysis of Financial  Condition  and Results of  Operations  --
Results of  Operations,"  "--Liquidity  and Capital  Resources" and "Business --
Business Strategy."

DIFFICULTIES OF MANAGING RAPID GROWTH

   The  Company  expects the number of  facilities  it  operates  will  increase
substantially  as it pursues its rapid growth  strategy.  The Company's  success
will depend in large part on identifying  suitable  development  and acquisition
opportunities,   and  its  ability  to  pursue  such   opportunities,   complete
developments,  consummate  acquisitions,  create demand for its  facilities  and
effectively  operate its assisted living  facilities.  The Company  competes for
acquisition and expansion  opportunities with companies which have significantly
greater  financial  and  management  resources  than the Company.  The Company's
growth will place a significant burden on the Company's management and operating
personnel  and its  financial  resources.  The  Company's  ability to manage its
growth  effectively  will  require it to continue  to improve  its  operational,
financial and management information systems and to continue to attract,  train,
motivate,  manage and retain key  employees.  There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to implement its rapid growth strategy

                                6


<PAGE>
or that such strategy will ultimately be profitable. If the Company is unable to
implement  its rapid growth  strategy or to manage its growth  effectively,  its
business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.
See "--  Difficulties  of  Integrating  Acquisitions,"  "-- Limited  Development
Experience;  Development  Delays and Cost  Overruns,"  "-- Need for  Substantial
Additional Capital,"  "--Dependence on Senior Management and Skilled Personnel,"
"--Competition,"  "Business -- Business  Strategy" and  "Management -- Directors
and Executive Officers."

DIFFICULTIES OF INTEGRATING ACQUISITIONS

   The  Company's   growth  strategy  depends   significantly   upon  the  rapid
acquisition  (through  purchase,  lease or  management  agreements)  of existing
assisted  living  facilities  and  other  properties  that  it  believes  it can
efficiently reposition as assisted living facilities.  The Company's strategy of
acquiring, developing or attaining agreements to manage 60 to 75 assisted living
facilities  per  year in each of the  next  three  years  is  likely  to place a
significant strain on the Company's management and financial  resources.  If the
Company is unsuccessful  in operating newly acquired  facilities and integrating
them into the Company's existing operations,  the Company's business,  operating
results and financial  condition  could be adversely  affected.  There can be no
assurance that the Company's  acquisition  of assisted  living  facilities  will
occur at the rate currently expected by the Company or that future  acquisitions
will be completed in a timely  manner,  if at all. The success of the  Company's
acquisitions  will be  determined by numerous  factors,  including the Company's
ability  to  identify  suitable  acquisition  candidates,  competition  for such
acquisitions,  the purchase price,  the financial  performance of the facilities
after  acquisition  and the ability of the Company to integrate  effectively the
operations of acquired  facilities.  Acquisitions  of  facilities  are typically
subject to a number of closing conditions,  including those regarding the status
of  title  to  real  property  included  in  the  acquisition,  the  results  of
environmental  investigations performed on the Company's behalf, the transfer of
applicable licenses or permits and the availability of appropriate financing. In
addition,  the Company may under certain circumstances  acquire  skilled-nursing
facilities  that for various  reasons it does not reposition as assisted  living
facilities or integrate into a continuing care retirement  community.  There can
be no assurance  that the Company will  successfully  dispose of or operate such
skilled-nursing  facilities.  Furthermore,  the  acquisition of skilled  nursing
facilities by the Company may exacerbate potential conflicts of interest between
the Company and IHS,  and could  expose  directors of the Company to claims that
duties to one or both  companies  have not been met.  Any failure by the Company
with  respect to the  repositioning,  integration  or  operation of any acquired
facilities  may  have a  material  adverse  effect  on the  Company's  business,
operating  results  and  financial  condition.  See  "--Potential  Conflicts  of
Interest with IHS,"  "--Difficulties  of Managing  Rapid  Growth,"  "Business --
Business Strategy" and "Certain Transactions."

LIMITED DEVELOPMENT EXPERIENCE; DEVELOPMENT DELAYS AND COST OVERRUNS

   The Company currently expects to open  approximately 25 to 35 newly developed
assisted living facilities per year over the next three years, and currently has
35 assisted  living  facilities  in various  early  stages of  development.  The
Company has very limited experience in developing new assisted living facilities
and its ability to achieve  this  objective  will be dependent to a great extent
upon the experience and abilities of the  third-party  developers with which the
Company has established  relationships.  To date, the Company has not opened any
newly  developed  assisted living  facilities,  and there can be no assurance it
will be successful in doing so. There can be no assurance  that the Company will
not suffer  delays in its  development  program,  which could slow the Company's
growth.  Achieving  the  Company's  plan to open  25 to 35 new  assisted  living
facilities  in each of the next three years is  dependent  on numerous  factors,
many of which the Company is unable to control or significantly influence, which
could adversely affect the Company's growth.  These factors include, but are not
limited to: (i) locating  sites for new  facilities  at acceptable  costs;  (ii)
obtaining proper zoning use permits,  development  plan approval,  authorization
and  licensing  from  governmental  units in a timely  manner;  (iii)  obtaining
adequate   financing  under  acceptable   terms;  (iv)  relying  on  third-party
architects  and  contractors  and  the  availability  and  costs  of  labor  and
construction  materials,  as well as weather; and (v) obtaining qualified staff.
Development of assisted living facilities can be delayed or precluded by various
zoning,  healthcare licensing and other applicable governmental  regulations and
restrictions.  ILC may  also  incur  construction  costs  that  exceed  original
estimates,  may experience  competition  in the search for suitable  development
sites and may be unable to arrange financing for development. The 

                                7

<PAGE>
Company  intends to rely on  third-party  developers  to construct  new assisted
living  facilities.  There  can  be no  assurance  that  the  Company  will  not
experience  difficulties in working with developers,  project managers,  general
contractors  and  subcontractors,  any of which  difficulties  could  result  in
increased  construction costs and delays.  Furthermore,  project  development is
subject to a number of  contingencies  over which the  Company  will have little
control  and  that may  adversely  affect  project  cost  and  completion  time,
including  shortages  of, or the inability to obtain,  labor or  materials,  the
inability of the general  contractor  or  subcontractors  to perform under their
contracts, strikes, adverse weather conditions and changes in applicable laws or
regulations  or in the  method of  applying  such laws and  regulations.  If the
Company's  development  schedule is delayed,  the Company's business,  operating
results and financial condition could be adversely affected. See "--Difficulties
of  Managing  Rapid  Growth,"  "--Dependence  on Senior  Management  and Skilled
Personnel," "Business -- Business Strategy," "--Development and Acquisition" and
"--Properties -- Development."

NEED FOR SUBSTANTIAL ADDITIONAL CAPITAL

   To achieve its growth objectives, the Company will need to obtain substantial
additional  financial  resources  to  fund  its  development,  construction  and
acquisition  activities  and  anticipated  operating  losses.  Accordingly,  the
Company's  future  growth  will  depend  on its  ability  to  obtain  additional
financing  on  acceptable  terms.  The Company  does not expect any of its newly
developed assisted living facilities to generate positive cash flow for at least
eight months  after  commencing  operations.  As a result,  the Company  expects
negative  cash  flow for at least  the next  several  years as it  continues  to
develop and acquire assisted living  facilities.  There can be no assurance that
any newly  developed  facility  will  achieve a  stabilized  occupancy  rate and
resident mix that meets the Company's  expectations  or generates  positive cash
flow. The Company currently estimates that the net proceeds to be received by it
in this offering,  together with financing  commitments and  sale/leaseback  and
mortgage financing that it anticipates will be available,  will be sufficient to
fund its  acquisition  and  development  program and its  anticipated  operating
losses for at least the next 12 months. There can be no assurance, however, that
the Company will not be required to seek additional capital earlier. There are a
number of  circumstances  beyond the  Company's  control  that may result in the
Company's  financial  resources being  inadequate to meet its needs. The Company
expects from time to time to seek  additional  funds  through  public or private
financing, including equity financing. If additional funds are raised by issuing
equity securities, the Company's stockholders may experience dilution.  Further,
such equity  securities  may have rights,  preferences  or privileges  senior to
those of the Common  Stock.  To the extent the Company  finances its  activities
through debt or sale/leaseback  arrangements,  the Company may become subject to
certain  financial and other  covenants which may restrict its ability to pursue
its rapid growth strategy and to pay dividends on the Common Stock. There can be
no assurance  that adequate  equity,  debt or  sale/leaseback  financing will be
available as needed or on terms  acceptable to the Company.  A lack of available
funds may require the Company to delay,  scale back or eliminate  all or some of
its  development  and  acquisition  projects  and could have a material  adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
See "--Recent  Organization;  History of Losses;  Anticipated Operating Losses,"
"--Substantial  Anticipated  Debt and  Lease  Obligations,"  "Use of  Proceeds,"
"Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of Financial  Condition  and Results of
Operations  -- Liquidity  and Capital  Resources"  and  "Description  of Capital
Stock."

SUBSTANTIAL ANTICIPATED DEBT AND LEASE OBLIGATIONS

   The  Company  intends to  finance  the  development  and  acquisition  of its
assisted  living  facilities  through  mortgage   financing,   operating  leases
(including  sale/leaseback  financing)  and lines of  credit.  As a result,  the
Company  expects to incur  substantial  indebtedness  and debt related  payments
(including  payments  on  operating  leases) as the  Company  pursues its growth
strategy. The Company is presently a party to long-term operating leases for two
of its  residential  facilities and has agreed to lease the Garden City facility
in June 1996 and the Homestead Wichita facility upon completion of construction,
which is currently scheduled to occur in July 1996. These leases require minimum
annual  lease  payments  aggregating  approximately  $2.0  million in 1996,  and
generally  provide for annual rent increases.  The Company expects to finance 25
of its assisted living facilities currently under development through sale/ 

                                8

<PAGE>
leaseback  transactions  or mortgage  financing.  The remaining  ten  facilities
currently  under  development are expected to be leased from the developer which
owns the facilities.  As a result, it is anticipated that a substantial  portion
of the Company's  cash flow will be devoted to debt service and lease  payments.
There can be no assurance  that the Company will generate  sufficient  cash flow
from operations to cover required interest, principal and lease payments. If the
Company were unable to meet interest,  principal or lease  payments,  or satisfy
financial covenants relating to, among other things, cash flow and debt coverage
ratios,  it could be required to seek  renegotiation  of such payments or obtain
additional  equity or debt  financing.  There can be no assurance  that any such
efforts would be successful or timely or that the terms of any such financing or
refinancing  would be  acceptable  to the Company.  Any payment or other default
could  cause  the  lender  to  foreclose  upon  the  facilities   securing  such
indebtedness or, in the case of an operating lease,  could result in termination
of the lease,  with a consequent  loss of income and asset value to the Company.
Furthermore,  to the extent the Company's mortgage and sale/leaseback agreements
contain cross-default and  cross-collateralization  provisions, a default by the
Company on one of its payment  obligations  could adversely affect a significant
number of the Company's  properties.  The Company's  leverage may also adversely
affect  the  Company's  ability to respond to  changing  business  and  economic
conditions or continue its development and acquisition  program. See "--Need for
Substantial  Additional  Capital,"  "Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  of
Financial   Condition  and  Results  of  Operations  --  Liquidity  and  Capital
Resources" and "Business -- Properties."

UNCERTAINTY OF THE PROPOSED ACQUISITIONS(); DIFFICULTIES OF INTEGRATING THE
PROPOSED ACQUISITIONS

   The Company has  entered  into  agreements  to acquire  two  assisted  living
facilities  for an aggregate  purchase  price of $14.9  million and to acquire a
leasehold interest in two facilities.  The closing of the Proposed  Acquisitions
are subject to certain customary conditions,  including conditions regarding the
status of title to real property being  acquired,  the results of  environmental
investigations  performed on the Company's behalf and the transfer of applicable
licenses and permits.  Although the Company expects the proposed acquisitions of
the Cabot Pointe and Terrace Gardens facilities to be consummated simultaneously
with the closing of this offering, there can be no assurance that the conditions
to closing will be satisfied in a timely manner, if at all. Any delay or failure
to consummate any of the Proposed  Acquisitions  could have an adverse effect on
the Company's  operating  results.  The Proposed  Acquisitions  will result in a
23.5% increase in the number of  facilities,  and a 21.1% increase in the number
of units,  operated by the Company. Such an increase in the Company's operations
may strain the Company's available resources, and there can be no assurance that
the Company will successfully assume operational control over the newly acquired
facilities or integrate  them with the  Company's  existing  operations.  If the
Company  is  unsuccessful  in  operating  the  newly  acquired   facilities  and
integrating them into the Company's existing operations, the Company's business,
operating  results and  financial  condition  could be adversely  affected.  See
"--Difficulties  of  Managing  Rapid  Growth,"  "--Difficulties  of  Integrating
Acquisitions,"  "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of  Operations  -- Liquidity  and Capital  Resources"  and  "Business --
Properties -- Proposed Acquisitions."

DEPENDENCE ON SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND SKILLED PERSONNEL

   The Company depends,  and will continue to depend,  on the services of Robert
N. Elkins, M.D., its Chairman of the Board, Edward Komp, its President and Chief
Executive  Officer and other key management  staff.  The loss of the services of
Dr.  Elkins or Mr. Komp could have a material  adverse  effect on the  Company's
business,  operating results and financial condition.  Dr. Elkins is Chairman of
the  Board and  Chief  Executive  Officer  of IHS.  As a result,  he will not be
devoting his full time and efforts to the Company. See "--Potential Conflicts of
Interest  with IHS." The  Company  also  depends on its  ability to attract  and
retain  management   personnel  who  will  be  responsible  for  the  day-to-day
operations  of each of its  residential  facilities.  The  Company's  ability to
attract and retain  management  personnel for its facilities will be critical to
the  success  of  the  Company's  rapid  growth  strategy,   which  contemplates
acquiring,  developing  or acquiring  agreements to manage 60 to 75 new assisted
living  facilities per year for each of the next three years.  If the Company is
unable to hire qualified  management to operate its assisted living  facilities,
the  Company's  business,  operating  results and financial  condition  could be
adversely affected. See "Management." 

                                9

<PAGE>
STAFFING AND LABOR COSTS

   The Company  competes  with various  healthcare  providers,  including  other
assisted living providers, with respect to attracting and retaining qualified or
skilled  personnel.  The Company  also  depends on the  available  labor pool of
low-wage  employees.  A shortage of nurses or other trained personnel or general
inflationary  pressures may require the Company to enhance its wage and benefits
package in order to compete.  There can be no assurance that the Company's labor
costs  will  not  increase  or,  if  they  do,  that  they  can  be  matched  by
corresponding  increases in revenues.  Any significant failure by the Company to
attract and retain qualified  employees,  to control its labor costs or to match
increases in its labor expenses with  corresponding  increases in revenues could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,  operating results and
financial condition. See "Business -- Employees."

DEPENDENCE ON ATTRACTING SENIORS WITH SUFFICIENT RESOURCES TO PAY

   The  Company  currently,  and for the  foreseeable  future,  expects  to rely
primarily on its residents'  ability to pay the Company's fees from their own or
familial  financial  resources.  Generally  only  seniors  with income or assets
meeting or exceeding  the  comparable  median in the region where the  Company's
assisted  living  facilities  are located are  expected to be able to afford the
Company's  fees.  Inflation or other  circumstances  that  adversely  affect the
ability  of  seniors  to pay for the  Company's  services  could have an adverse
effect on the  Company.  If the  Company  encounters  difficulty  in  attracting
seniors with adequate resources to pay for its services, its business, operating
results and financial  condition could be adversely  affected.  See "Business --
Services."

SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF THE OFFERING TO BENEFIT IHS

   IHS will receive  approximately  $52.6  million  (assuming an initial  public
offering price of $16.50 per share and after  deducting  estimated  underwriting
discounts)  for the  shares of Common  Stock to be sold by it in this  offering,
which  shares  were  received  by IHS  from  the  Company  in  November  1995 in
consideration  of IHS'  transfer to the Company of 15 of the 17 assisted  living
facilities  currently  operated by the Company.  See  "--Potential  Conflicts of
Interest with IHS" and "Company History."

PRIOR DEPENDENCE ON IHS

   The Company was formed in November 1995 as a  wholly-owned  subsidiary of IHS
to operate the assisted living and other senior housing facilities owned, leased
or managed by IHS. To date,  IHS has  provided all  required  financial,  legal,
accounting, human resources and information systems services to the Company, and
has  satisfied all the Company's  capital  requirements  in excess of internally
generated funds. Subsequent to the closing of this offering, the Company will be
responsible for obtaining its own external  sources of financing and for its own
financial, legal, accounting,  human resources and information systems services.
The Company  believes that the cost of these  services  following  this offering
will  exceed  substantially  the  expense for these  services  allocated  to the
Company by IHS. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in
obtaining  these  services.  IHS has agreed to provide  certain  accounting  and
information  systems  services to the Company  until it has relocated to Florida
and implemented its own MIS and accounting systems. See "Business -- Operations"
and "Certain Transactions."

POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST WITH IHS

   Robert  N.  Elkins,  M.D.,  the  Chairman  of the Board of the  Company,  and
Lawrence P. Cirka, a director of the Company,  are the Chairman of the Board and
Chief Executive  Officer and President,  Chief Operating Officer and a director,
respectively,  of IHS and,  as a  result,  may have  conflicts  of  interest  in
addressing  business  opportunities  and  strategies  with  respect to which the
Company's and IHS'  interests  differ.  The Company and IHS have not adopted any
formal  procedures  designed to assure that conflicts of interest will not occur
or to resolve any such  conflicts.  Dr.  Elkins is also a director of  Community
Care of America, Inc. ("CCA"), which operates long-term care and assisted living
facilities,  and is a director of Capstone  Capital  Corporation,  a real estate
investment trust from which the Company expects to receive  financing.  IHS will
continue to operate Alzheimer's units in certain of its skilled

                                10

<PAGE>
nursing  facilities,  including the skilled  nursing  facilities  located in the
condominiums in which the Company's  Treemont and West Palm Beach facilities are
located.  The Company is  prohibited  from  including a  segregated  and secured
Alzheimer's ward in its portion of these  facilities.  In geographic areas where
the Company and either IHS or CCA  operates a  facility,  ILC will be  competing
with these  companies  for  residents  for its  facilities.  In  addition,  upon
completion  of this  offering  IHS, Dr.  Elkins and Mr.  Cirka will  continue to
beneficially own approximately  23.0% of the Company's  outstanding Common Stock
(approximately 20.7% if the Underwriters'  exercise their over-allotment  option
in full), and IHS will be the Company's largest  stockholder.  See "Management's
Discussion  and Analysis of Financial  Condition  and Results of  Operations  --
Liquidity   and  Capital   Resources,"   "Business  --   Properties,"   "Certain
Transactions" and "Principal and Selling Stockholders."

DISCRETIONARY USE OF PROCEEDS

   The Company will use  approximately  $14.9  million of the net proceeds  from
this offering to finance the Proposed  Acquisitions.  The Company expects to use
the remaining net proceeds  (approximately  $31.4  million,  assuming an initial
public  offering  price  of  $16.50  per  share)  to fund  the  development  and
acquisition of additional  assisted living  facilities and for general corporate
purposes,  including working capital.  The Company will have broad discretion in
using the unallocated net proceeds of this offering. See "Use of Proceeds."

POSSIBLE ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES

   Under various federal,  state and local  environmental  laws,  ordinances and
regulations,  a current or previous  owner or operator of real  property  may be
held  liable for the costs of removal or  remediation  of certain  hazardous  or
toxic substances,  including, without limitation,  asbestos-containing materials
or petroleum, that could be located on, in or under such property. Such laws and
regulations often impose liability whether or not the owner or operator knew of,
or was responsible for, the presence of the hazardous or toxic  substances.  The
costs of any  required  remediation  or  removal  of these  substances  could be
substantial  and the  liability  of an owner or operator  as to any  property is
generally  not limited  under such laws and  regulations,  and could  exceed the
value of the property  and the  aggregate  assets of the owner or operator.  The
presence of these  substances or failure to remediate such  substances  properly
may also adversely  affect the owner's ability to sell or rent the property,  to
borrow using the property as collateral or, in the case of facilities  currently
being  developed,  to  occupy  and  use  the  property.  Under  these  laws  and
regulations, an owner, operator or any entity which arranges for the disposal of
hazardous  or toxic  substances,  such as  asbestos-containing  materials,  at a
disposal  site may also be liable for the costs of any required  remediation  or
removal of the hazardous or toxic substances at the disposal site. In connection
with the ownership or operation of its  properties,  the Company could be liable
for these costs, as well as certain other costs,  including  governmental  fines
and  injuries  to persons or  properties.  As a result,  the  presence,  with or
without  the  Company's  knowledge,  of  hazardous  or toxic  substances  at any
property held, operated or developed by the Company could have an adverse effect
on the Company's business,  operating results and financial condition.  Further,
the  Company  cannot  predict  the  nature,  scope or effect of  legislation  or
regulatory  requirements that could be imposed or how existing or future laws or
regulations  will be administered  or interpreted  with respect to activities to
which they have not previously  applied.  Compliance with more stringent laws or
regulations,  as  well as  more  vigorous  enforcement  policies  of  regulatory
agencies,  could  require  substantial  expenditures  by the  Company  and could
adversely affect the results of operations of the Company.

GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION

   Healthcare  is heavily  regulated at the federal,  state and local levels and
represents  an area of extensive  and frequent  regulatory  change.  A number of
legislative and regulatory  initiatives  relating to long-term care are proposed
or under study at both the federal and state levels that, if enacted or adopted,
could have an adverse  effect on the Company's  business and operating  results.
The Company  cannot predict  whether and to what extent any such  legislative or
regulatory  initiatives will be enacted or adopted,  and therefore cannot assess
what  effect any  current  or future  initiatives  would  have on the  Company's
business  and   operating   results.   Changes  in   applicable   laws  and  new
interpretations  of  existing  laws  can  significantly   affect  the  Company's
operations,  as well  as its  revenues  (particularly  those  from  governmental
sources) and expenses. The 

                                11

<PAGE>
Company's  facilities are subject to varying degrees of regulation and licensing
by local and state  health  and social  service  agencies  and other  regulatory
authorities  specific  to  their  location.   While  regulations  and  licensing
requirements  often  vary  significantly  from  state to state,  they  typically
address, among other things: personnel education, training and records; facility
services,    including    administration   of   medication,    assistance   with
self-administration  of medication and limited nursing services;  physical plant
specifications;  furnishing of resident units;  food and housekeeping  services;
emergency evacuation plans; and resident rights and responsibilities. In several
states assisted living  facilities also require a certificate of need before the
facility can be opened.  In most states,  assisted  living  facilities  also are
subject to state or local building codes,  fire codes and food service licensure
or certification requirements. Like other healthcare facilities, assisted living
facilities  are  subject  to  periodic  survey  or  inspection  by  governmental
authorities. The Company's success will depend in part on its ability to satisfy
such  regulations  and  requirements  and to acquire and  maintain  any required
licenses.  The Company's  operations could also be adversely  affected by, among
other things,  regulatory  developments such as mandatory increases in the scope
and quality of care to be offered to residents  and  revisions in licensing  and
certification  standards. In addition, the Company is subject to certain federal
and  state  laws that  regulate  relationships  among  providers  of  healthcare
services.  These laws include the Medicare and Medicaid anti-kickback provisions
of the  Social  Security  Act,  which  prohibit  the  payment  or receipt of any
remuneration by anyone in return for, or to induce, the referral of patients for
items or  services  that are paid  for,  in  whole or in part,  by  Medicare  or
Medicaid.  A  violation  of these  provisions  may  result in civil or  criminal
penalties for individuals or entities and/or exclusion from participation in the
Medicare  and  Medicaid   programs.   Federal,   state  and  local   governments
occasionally conduct unannounced investigations, audits and reviews to determine
whether  violations  of  applicable  rules  and  regulations   exist.   Devoting
management and staff time and legal resources to such investigations, as well as
any  material   violation  by  the  Company  that  is  discovered  in  any  such
investigation,  audit or review,  could have a  material  adverse  effect on the
Company's business,  operating results and financial condition. See "Business --
Business Strategy" and "--Governmental Regulation."

   The  Company  and its  activities  are  subject to zoning and other state and
local government regulations. Zoning variances or use permits are often required
for construction.  Severely restrictive  regulations could impair the ability of
the Company to open additional  residences at desired  locations or could result
in costly delays, which could adversely affect the Company's growth strategy and
results.  See "--Limited  Development  Experience;  Development  Delays and Cost
Overruns," "Business -- Business Strategy" and "--Development and Acquisition."

   Certain  states  provide  for  Medicaid  reimbursement  for  assisted  living
services  pursuant  to  Medicaid  Waiver  Programs   permitted  by  the  Federal
government. In the event the Company elects to provide services in states with a
Medicaid  Waiver  Program,  the Company may then elect to become  certified as a
Medicaid  provider in such states.  As a provider of services under the Medicaid
Waiver Program,  the Company will be subject to all of the  requirements of such
program,  including the fraud and abuse laws,  violations of which may result in
civil and criminal  penalties and exclusion  from further  participation  in the
Medicaid Waiver Program. The Company intends to comply with all applicable laws,
including  the fraud and abuse laws;  however,  there can be no  assurance  that
administrative  or judicial  interpretation of existing laws or regulations will
not in the future have a material  adverse  impact on the  Company's  results of
operations or financial  condition.  See "Business -- Governmental  Regulation."


   Under the  Americans  with  Disabilities  Act of 1990,  all  places of public
accommodation  are  required to meet  certain  federal  requirements  related to
access and use by disabled persons.  A number of additional  federal,  state and
local laws exist which also may require  modifications  to existing  and planned
properties to create access to the  properties  by disabled  persons.  While the
Company  believes that its  properties  are  substantially  in  compliance  with
present  requirements  or are exempt  therefrom,  if required  changes involve a
greater expenditure than anticipated or must be made on a more accelerated basis
than  anticipated,  additional  costs would be incurred by the Company.  Further
legislation may impose additional burdens or restrictions with respect to access
by disabled persons, the costs of compliance with which could be substantial.

                                12
<PAGE>
COMPETITION

   The healthcare  industry is highly  competitive  and the Company expects that
the assisted  living segment in particular  will become more  competitive in the
future.  In general,  regulatory and other barriers to competitive  entry in the
assisted  living  industry  are  presently  not  substantial.  The Company  will
continue  to  face  competition  from  numerous  local,  regional  and  national
providers of assisted  living and long-term  care. The Company will compete with
skilled  nursing  facilities and acute care hospitals  primarily on the bases of
cost, quality of care, array of services provided and physician  referrals.  The
Company will also compete with companies providing  home-based  healthcare,  and
even  family  members,  based  on  those  factors  as  well  as the  reputation,
geographic  location,  physical appearance of facilities and family preferences.
Some of the  Company's  competitors  operate  on a  not-for-profit  basis  or as
charitable  organizations,  while others have, or may obtain,  greater financial
resources than those of the Company.  However,  the Company anticipates that its
most significant  competition will come from other assisted living and long-term
care  facilities  within the same  geographic  area as the Company's  facilities
because management's  experience indicates that senior citizens frequently elect
to move into facilities near their homes.

   In implementing its growth strategy,  the Company expects to face competition
in its efforts to develop and acquire  assisted living  facilities.  Some of the
Company's present and potential  competitors are significantly  larger and have,
or may  obtain,  greater  financial  resources  than  those  of the  Company.  A
significant number of industry competitors have recently raised financing in the
public markets,  providing them with cash to develop and acquire assisted living
facilities and making it easier for them to use their equity and debt securities
as consideration for acquisitions.  Consequently, there can be no assurance that
the Company will not encounter  increased  competition  in the future that could
limit its ability to attract residents or expand its business and therefore have
a material  adverse  effect on its  business,  operating  results and  financial
condition.  Further,  if the  development  of  new  assisted  living  facilities
outpaces demand for those  facilities in the markets in which the Company has or
is developing facilities,  such markets may become saturated. Such an oversupply
of  facilities  could  cause the  Company  to  experience  decreased  occupancy,
depressed margins and lower profitability. See "Business -- Competition."

POTENTIAL ADVERSE IMPACT OF GOVERNMENTAL REIMBURSEMENT PROGRAMS

   Currently,  the federal government does not provide any reimbursement for the
type of assisted  living services  offered by the Company,  although the federal
government does provide  reimbursement  for the services provided in the skilled
nursing beds located in the Company's  continuing care  retirement  communities.
Although  some  states  have  reimbursement  programs  in  place,  the  level of
reimbursement  is  generally  insufficient  to cover the costs of the  Company's
assisted living services. Currently all of the Company's revenue is from private
pay sources except that one of its managed facilities received approximately 20%
of its  revenues in the year ended  December  31, 1995 from state  reimbursement
programs.  Depending  in part on the results of the  Company's  acquisition  and
development program, net revenues from governmental reimbursement programs could
increase  from time to time.  There can be no assurance  that the Company or the
facilities  which  it  manages  will  continue  to  meet  the  requirements  for
participating in governmental reimbursement programs. Furthermore,  governmental
reimbursement   programs  are  subject  to  statutory  and  regulatory  changes,
retroactive rate settlements,  administrative  rulings and governmental  funding
restrictions,  some of which could have a material  adverse effect on the future
rate of payment to facilities operated by the Company. A substantial  dependence
on governmental  reimbursement  programs,  changes in the funding levels of such
programs or the failure of the Company's  operations to qualify for governmental
reimbursement could have an adverse effect on the Company's business,  operating
results and financial condition.  See "--Governmental  Regulation," "Business --
Governmental Regulation" and "--Operations -- Service Revenue Sources."

GEOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATION

   A  significant  number  of the 56  properties  currently  operated,  managed,
proposed to be acquired or under development are located in California and Texas
(16 and 13 facilities,  respectively).  The market value of these properties and
the income  generated from properties  managed or leased by the Company could be
negatively  affected by changes in local and regional economic conditions and by
acts of nature. 

                                       13

<PAGE>
See  "Business --  Properties."  In  addition,  the Company  anticipates  that a
substantial   portion  of  its  business  and  operations   will  ultimately  be
concentrated  in several states in the southern,  midwestern and western portion
of the United States, and that economic  conditions in such states may adversely
affect the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition.

LIABILITY AND INSURANCE

   The  Company's  business  entails an inherent  risk of  liability.  In recent
years, participants in the long-term care industry,  including the Company, have
become  subject to an  increasing  number of lawsuits  alleging  malpractice  or
related legal theories, many of which involve large claims and significant legal
costs.  The  Company  expects  that from time to time it will be subject to such
suits as a result of the nature of its business. The Company currently maintains
insurance policies in amounts and with such coverage and deductibles as it deems
appropriate,  based  on  the  nature  and  risks  of  its  business,  historical
experience  and industry  standards.  There can be no assurance,  however,  that
claims in excess of the  Company's  insurance  coverage or claims not covered by
the Company's  insurance coverage will not arise. A successful claim against the
Company not covered by, or in excess of, the  Company's  insurance  could have a
material  adverse  effect  on the  Company's  operating  results  and  financial
condition.  Claims  against the Company,  regardless  of their merit or eventual
outcome,  may also have a material  adverse  effect on the Company's  ability to
attract residents or expand its business and would require  management to devote
time to  matters  unrelated  to the  operation  of the  Company's  business.  In
addition,  the Company's insurance policies must be renewed annually,  and there
can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain liability  insurance
coverage  in the  future  or,  if  available,  that  such  coverage  will  be on
acceptable terms.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE; REGISTRATION RIGHTS

   Sales of  substantial  amounts of shares of Common Stock in the public market
after  this  offering  or the  perception  that such  sales  could  occur  could
adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock and the Company's  ability
to raise  equity.  Upon  completion  of this  offering,  the  Company  will have
8,061,000  shares  of  Common  Stock   outstanding   (9,040,500  shares  if  the
Underwriters'  over-allotment option is exercised in full). Of these shares, the
6,530,000  shares  sold  in  this  offering  will  be  freely  tradable  without
restriction  or  limitation  under the  Securities  Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities  Act"),  except  for any shares  purchased  by  "affiliates"  of the
Company,  as such term is defined in Rule 144  promulgated  under the Securities
Act.  The  remaining  1,531,000  shares,  all of which will be owned by IHS, are
"restricted  securities"  within  the  meaning  of Rule 144.  The  Company,  its
directors and officers and IHS have agreed with the  Underwriters not to sell or
otherwise  dispose of any shares of Common  Stock,  any  options or  warrants to
purchase  shares  of  Common  Stock  or  any  securities   convertible  into  or
exchangeable  for shares of Common Stock for a period of 180 days after the date
of this  Prospectus  other  than,  in the case of the  Company,  grants of stock
options pursuant to the Company's stock option plans,  without the prior written
consent of Smith Barney Inc.  Smith Barney Inc. may, in its sole  discretion and
at any time without  prior  notice,  release all or any portion of the shares of
Common Stock subject to the "lock-up"  agreements.  Beginning in November  1997,
all of the shares which will be held by IHS upon completion of this offering may
be sold subject to the volume and other  limitations of Rule 144. The Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") has proposed an amendment to Rule 144
under the Securities Act which, if adopted as currently  proposed,  would permit
the sale of such 1,531,000 shares of Common Stock held by IHS upon expiration of
the 180-day  "lock-up"  period  referred  to above,  rather  than  beginning  in
November  1997,  subject to the volume and other  limitations  of Rule 144.  All
shares  of  Common  Stock  held by IHS  will be  eligible  for  sale to  certain
qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities
Act.  Furthermore,  the Company  intends to register soon after the date of this
Prospectus  1,209,150  shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance  pursuant to
the Company's stock option plans and agreements, under which options to purchase
1,031,000  shares of Common  Stock are  currently  outstanding.  The Company has
granted IHS "piggyback"  registration  rights with respect to the shares held by
IHS upon completion of this offering. If the Company is required to include in a
Company-initiated  registration  shares held by IHS  pursuant to the exercise of
its "piggyback"  registration  rights,  such sales may have an adverse effect on
the  Company's  ability  to  raise  needed  capital.  See  "Management  -- Stock
Options,"  Description  of Capital  Stock --  Registration  Rights"  and "Shares
Eligible for Future Sale."

NO PRIOR PUBLIC MARKET; POSSIBLE VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE

   Prior to this offering,  there has been no public market for the Common Stock
and there can be no assurance  that an active  trading market will develop or be
sustained  after this offering.  The initial public offering price of the Common
Stock will be determined by negotiation between the Company and the Underwriters
and may bear no  relationship  to the price at which the Common Stock will trade
after  completion  of this  offering.  For factors  that will be  considered  in
determining  the  initial  public  offering  price,  see  "Underwriting."  After
completion  of this  offering,  the market  price of the Common  Stock  could be
subject to significant  fluctuations  in response to various factors and events,
including the liquidity of the market for the shares of Common Stock, variations
in the Company's operating results,  changes in earnings estimates by securities
analysts,  publicity  regarding the assisted  living industry or the Company and
new  statutes  or  regulations  or changes  in the  interpretation  of  existing
statutes or  regulations  affecting  the  healthcare  industry in general or the
assisted living industry in particular.  In addition, the stock market in recent
years has experienced  broad price and volume  fluctuations that often have been
unrelated to the operating  performance  of particular  companies.  These market
fluctuations  also may adversely affect the market price of the shares of Common
Stock.  In the past,  following  periods of  volatility in the market price of a
company's  securities,   securities  class  action  litigation  has  often  been
initiated  against such company.  Such  litigation  could result in  substantial
costs and a diversion of management's attention and resources,  which could have
a material  adverse effect upon the Company's  business,  operating  results and
financial condition.

CONTROL BY CERTAIN PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS

   Following  completion  of this  offering,  IHS and  the  Company's  executive
officers and directors as a group will beneficially own  approximately  27.8% of
the outstanding  Common Stock.  Currently,  IHS' Chairman of the Board and Chief
Executive  Officer and President and Chief Operating  Officer are two of the six
members of the  Company's  Board of  Directors,  and IHS'  Chairman of the Board
serves  as  Chairman  of the  Board of the  Company.  As a  result,  IHS and the
Company's  executive  officers and directors as a group could have a significant
influence over, and may be able to control, the outcome of all matters submitted
to a vote of the Company's stockholders, including the election of directors and
significant corporate transactions.  See "--Potential Conflicts of Interest with
IHS" and "Principal and Selling Stockholders."

EFFECT OF CERTAIN ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS

   The Company's  Restated  Certificate of Incorporation  and Bylaws, as well as
Delaware corporate law, contain certain provisions that could have the effect of
making it more difficult for a third party to acquire,  or  discouraging a third
party from attempting to acquire, control of the Company. These provisions could
limit the price that certain investors might be willing to pay in the future for
shares of Common Stock.  Certain of these provisions allow the Company to issue,
without  stockholder  approval,  preferred  stock having voting rights senior to
those of the Common Stock.  Other provisions impose various procedural and other
requirements  that  could  make it more  difficult  for  stockholders  to effect
certain  corporate  actions.  In addition,  the Company's  Board of Directors is
divided  into three  classes,  each of which  serves for a staggered  three-year
term,  which may make it more difficult for a third party to gain control of the
Board of Directors. As a Delaware corporation, the Company is subject to Section
203 of the  Delaware  General  Corporation  Law which,  in general,  prevents an
"interested  stockholder"  (defined  generally as a person owning 15% or more of
the  corporation's  outstanding  voting  stock)  from  engaging  in a  "business
combination"  (as defined) for three years following the date such person became
an  interested   stockholder  unless  certain  conditions  are  satisfied.   See
"Description of Capital Stock -- Preferred Stock," "-- Certain Provisions of the
Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws" and "--Delaware Anti-Takeover
Law."

IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION

   The existing  stockholder of the Company  acquired its shares of Common Stock
at an average cost  substantially  below the initial  public  offering price set
forth on the cover  page of this  Prospectus.  Therefore,  purchasers  of Common
Stock in this  offering will  experience  immediate  and  substantial  dilution,
which, at the assumed initial public offering price of $16.50 per share, will be
$5.38 per share. See "Dilution."

                               COMPANY HISTORY

GENERAL

   The Company was formed in November 1995 as a  wholly-owned  subsidiary of IHS
to operate the assisted living and other senior housing facilities owned, leased
and managed by IHS. Upon the Company's formation, IHS transferred to the Company
as a capital  contribution  its ownership  interest in the Waterside  Retirement
Estates  ("Waterside") and The Homestead  facilities,  sublet to the Company The
Shores and Cheyenne Place Retirement  ("Cheyenne Place") facilities,  and leased
to the  Company  the  assisted  living  and  related  portions  of the  Treemont
Retirement  Community  and  West  Palm  Beach  Retirement  facilities.  IHS also
transferred to the Company  agreements to manage nine facilities.  The Company's
principal  executive  offices are located at IHS' executive offices at 10065 Red
Run  Boulevard,  Owings  Mills,  Maryland  21117,  and its  telephone  number is
410-998-8425.  The Company  intends to relocate its executive  offices to Bonita
Springs, Florida in the third quarter of 1996.

ACQUISITION HISTORY

   In January 1989, IHS acquired a leasehold  interest in the Dallas at Treemont
facility,   a  skilled  nursing  facility  with  a  231  unit  assisted  living,
Alzheimer's  and adult day care  facility,  and IHS  subsequently  purchased the
Dallas at  Treemont  facility  in June 1994.  The  Company  leased the  assisted
living,  Alzheimer's and adult day care portions of this facility from IHS until
June 1, 1996, when the Company and IHS entered into a condominium  agreement for
the Dallas at Treemont facility.  In connection with the condominium  agreement,
the Company received as a capital contribution from IHS the condominium interest
in the assisted living, Alzheimer's and adult day care portion of the facility.

   In December 1993,  IHS acquired  Central Park Lodges,  Inc.,  which owned the
West Palm Beach skilled  nursing and assisted  living facility and a partnership
interest in the Waterside facility, a continuing care retirement community;  IHS
subsequently  acquired the remaining  partnership  interests in  Waterside.  The
Company  received the Waterside  facility from IHS as a capital  contribution in
November  1995 and leased  the  assisted  living  portion of the West Palm Beach
facility  from IHS until June 1, 1996,  when the Company and IHS entered  into a
condominium  agreement for the West Palm Beach facility.  In connection with the
condominium  agreement,  the Company received as a capital contribution from IHS
the condominium interest in the assisted living portion of the facility.

   In March 1994,  IHS acquired The  Homestead,  a 50 unit  assisted  living and
adult day care facility for a total cost of approximately $1.3 million, adjusted
for certain accrued liabilities,  prepayments and deposits assumed by IHS. Prior
to the purchase IHS had managed the facility  under a management  agreement with
the prior  owner.  The  Company  received  this  facility  from IHS as a capital
contribution in November 1995.

   In August 1994, IHS entered into separate  facility  operating leases for the
260 unit Shores and 95 unit Cheyenne Place  facilities.  IHS has subleased these
assisted  living  facilities,  including  the related  equipment,  furniture and
fixtures,  to the Company.  These facilities are part of 43 facilities leased by
IHS from Litchfield  Asset  Management  Corp.  ("LAM").  IHS is required to meet
certain  financial  tests under its agreement with LAM and, to the extent IHS is
unable to meet such tests,  LAM has the right to terminate  IHS' lease of the 43
facilities, which would result in the termination of the subleases. There can be
no assurance that IHS will be able to meet such tests.

   In December 1995, IHS acquired  Carrington Pointe, a 172 unit congregate care
and assisted  living  facility.  Prior to the  acquisition,  IHS had managed the
facility  under  a  management  agreement  with  the  prior  owner.  Immediately
following  the  acquisition,  IHS  transferred  ownership of the facility to the
Company as a capital contribution.

   In January 1996, IHS acquired  Vintage Health Care Center,  a skilled nursing
and assisted and  independent  living  facility which it had previously  managed
from April 1995. The Company leased the assisted and independent living portions
of the facility from IHS until June 1, 1996, when the Company 

                                16

<PAGE>
and IHS entered into a condominium  agreement  for the  facility.  In connection
with the condominium  agreement,  the Company received as a capital contribution
from  IHS  the  condominium  interest  in the  assisted  living  portion  of the
facility.

   In addition, the Company has agreements to lease the Homestead of Garden City
and Homestead Wichita facility from one of its third-party developers,  which is
expected to occur in June 1996 and July 1996, respectively, and has entered into
definitive  agreements to acquire the Cabot Pointe and Terrace Garden facilities
simultaneous  with the closing of this offering.  See "Business --  Properties."


                               USE OF PROCEEDS


   The net  proceeds to the  Company  from the sale of the  3,100,000  shares of
Common Stock offered hereby, assuming an initial public offering price of $16.50
per share and after  deducting  estimated  underwriting  discounts  and offering
expenses, are estimated to be $46.2 million ($61.2 million if the over-allotment
option  granted by the Company to the  Underwriters  is exercised in full).  The
Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of Common Stock by IHS.

   The Company intends to use approximately $14.9 million of the net proceeds to
consummate  the  Proposed  Acquisitions.  The  remainder  of the  net  proceeds,
approximately $31.4 million, will be used to finance development and acquisition
of additional  assisted  living  facilities and for working  capital and general
corporate  purposes.  Pending such uses,  the net  proceeds  will be invested in
short-term,  interest-bearing  investment  grade  securities.  See  "Business --
Strategy" and "-- Properties -- Proposed Acquisitions."

   Although  an  integral  part of the  Company's  business  strategy  is growth
through  acquisitions  and the Company is currently in discussions  with several
acquisition  candidates,  the  Company  has  not  entered  into  any  definitive
agreements  respecting any  acquisitions  except as set forth under "Business --
Properties -- Proposed Acquisitions." 

                               DIVIDEND POLICY


   The Company  anticipates that future earnings will be retained by the Company
for  the  development  of  its  business.  Accordingly,  the  Company  does  not
anticipate paying cash dividends on its Common Stock in the foreseeable  future.
The  payment  of future  dividends  is  within  the  discretion  of the Board of
Directors  and will  depend  upon,  among other  things,  the  Company's  future
earnings,  if any, its capital requirements,  financial condition,  the terms of
the Company's debt  instruments  and lease  agreements  then in effect and other
relevant  factors.  Under  a cash  management  facility  provided  by  IHS,  the
operating cash balances of the Company's  facilities were generally  transferred
to a centralized account and applied to reduce additional  paid-in-capital.  See
Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

had  occurred on March 31, 1996,  and the  issuance of 967,742  shares of Common
Stock,  representing  the number of shares  required  to be sold at the  assumed
initial public offering price of $16.50 per share (net of estimated underwriting
discounts)  in order for the  Company  to pay the  purchase  price for the Cabot
Pointe and Terrace Gardens facilities, and (iii) on a pro forma basis as of such
date as  adjusted to reflect the sale of the  3,100,000  shares of Common  Stock

                                   DILUTION

   At March 31, 1996,  the pro forma net tangible  book value of the Company was
approximately $58,288,000, or $9.83 per share. Pro forma net tangible book value
per share  represents the total tangible  assets of the Company,  reduced by its
total  liabilities,  after giving  effect to the Proposed  Acquisitions  and the
contribution by IHS to the capital of the Company of the  condominium  interests
in the Treemont, Vintage and West Palm Beach facilities, as if such transactions
had  occurred on March 31,  1996,  and divided by the number of shares of Common
Stock  outstanding  (including  967,742 shares of Common Stock which the Company
would be required to sell at the assumed initial public offering price of $16.50
per share (net of  underwriting  discounts)  in order for the Company to pay the
purchase price for the Cabot Pointe and Terrace  Gardens  facilities).  Dilution
per share  represents the  difference  between the price per share to be paid by
investors in this  offering and the pro forma net tangible  book value per share
of Common Stock immediately after the offering.  After giving effect to the sale
of the  3,100,000  shares of Common Stock  offered by the Company  hereby (at an
assumed  initial public  offering price of $16.50 per share) and the application
of the  estimated net proceeds  therefrom as described  under "Use of Proceeds,"
the pro forma net  tangible  book  value of the Common  Stock at March 31,  1996
would have been  $89,658,000,  or $11.12 per share. This represents an immediate
increase in the pro forma net tangible book value of $1.29 per share to existing
stockholders and an immediate  dilution of $5.38 per share to purchasers in this
offering, as illustrated in the following table.

(1)  Sales by IHS in this  offering  will reduce the number of shares held by it
     to  1,531,000  shares or 19.0% (16.9% if the  Underwriters'  over-allotment
     option is exercised in full) of the total  Common Stock  outstanding  after
     this offering, and will increase the number of shares held by new investors
     to  6,530,000  or 81.0% of the total  number  of  shares  of  Common  Stock
     outstanding after this offering (83.1% if the Underwriters'  over-allotment
     option is exercised in full). Total  consideration  represents the net book
     value of the  facilities  contributed as capital to the Company by IHS less
     the cash distributions received by IHS from the Company.  Effective June 1,
     1996, IHS  contributed as capital to the Company  condominium  interests in
     the  Treemont,  Vintage  and West Palm Beach  facilities  having a value of
     $27,170,000,  representing  the lesser of IHS' net book value or  estimated
     fair  value.  Giving  effect  to  this  capital  contribution,  IHS'  total
     consideration  would have been $46,047,000  (47.4% of total  consideration)
     and its average price per share would have been $9.28.  See  "Principal and
     Selling Stockholders."

   The accompanying  unaudited pro forma financial statements have been prepared
based on the audited consolidated financial statements of ILC for the year ended
December 31, 1995 and the unaudited consolidated financial statements of ILC for
the three  months  ended  March 31,  1996,  as well as the  following  financial
statements: 

      1) The audited  financial  statements of Terrace  Gardens  Health Care and
         Retirement  Center  ("Terrace  Gardens")  as of and for the year  ended
         December 31, 1995,  and the unaudited  financial  statements of Terrace
         Gardens as of and for the three months ended March 31, 1996.

      2) The  audited  financial   statements  of  Vintage  Health  Care  Center
         Retirement  Division  ("Vintage") as of and for the year ended December
         31, 1995,  and the unaudited  twenty-nine  day period ended January 29,
         1996.

      3) The audited financial statements of Carrington Pointe as of and for the
         year ended December 31, 1995.

      4) The audited  financial  statements  of Homestead  of Garden City,  L.C.
         ("Garden  City") as of and for the period from  inception  (November 1,
         1995) to December 31, 1995, and the unaudited  financial  statements of
         Garden City as of and for the three months ended March 31, 1996.

   The pro forma  balance  sheet as of March  31,  1996 was  prepared  as if the
acquisition of the Cabot Pointe and Terrace  Gardens  facilities,  both of which
are  expected to close  simultaneous  with the closing of this  offering and the
receipt of the  condominium  interests  in the  Treemont,  Vintage and West Palm
Beach facilities as a capital  contribution had been consummated as of March 31,
1996.  No pro forma  adjustments  have been made to reflect the  acquisition  of
leasehold  interests in the Garden City and Homestead Wichita facilities because
such  acquisitions  will have no  effect on the  Company's  balance  sheet.  See

   The pro forma  statements of operations  for the year ended December 31, 1995
were prepared as if the Company's interest in the following  facilities had been
acquired on January 1, 1995: Vintage, which was leased by the Company commencing
January  29,  1996;  Terrace  Gardens,  which the  Company has agreed to acquire
simultaneous  with the closing of this offering;  Garden City, which the Company
has agreed to lease and which is scheduled to occur in June 1996; and Carrington
Pointe,  which the Company  acquired  effective  December 31, 1995. No pro forma
adjustments  have been made to reflect the  operations of the Homestead  Wichita
facility,  which the Company has agreed to lease and which is scheduled to occur
in July 1996,  or the Cabot  Pointe  facility,  which the  Company has agreed to
acquire simultaneous with the closing of this offering,  because such facilities
were not in  operation at March 31, 1996.  Effective  June 1, 1996,  the Company
received as a capital contribution  condominium interests in the assisted living
and related  portions of the Vintage,  Treemont  and West Palm Beach  facilities
which the Company had previously  leased.  Accordingly,  the pro forma financial
statements  are  adjusted  to  decrease  rent  expense   associated  with  these
facilities  and to  increase  depreciation  resulting  from the  ownership  of a
condominium interest in these facilities.  Finally, the pro forma statements are
adjusted  to reflect  the  estimated  additional  corporate  administrative  and
general  expenses  that  would  have  been  incurred  if ILC had  operated  as a
stand-alone  company.  See "Company History," "Use of Proceeds" and "Business --

   To date IHS has provided all required  financial,  legal,  accounting,  human
resources and information systems services to the Company, and has satisfied all
the Company's capital  requirements in excess of internally generated funds. IHS
has charged the  Company a flat fee of 6% of total  revenue for these  services.
The Company  estimates  that the cost of  obtaining  these  services  from third
parties would have been  significantly  higher than the fees charged by IHS. IHS
has agreed to provide certain  administrative  services to the Company after the
closing  of this  offering  until the  Company  has  relocated  to  Florida  and
implemented its own MIS and accounting  systems,  which the Company  anticipates
will occur in the fourth  quarter of 1996.  See  "Business  --  Operations"  and
"Certain Transactions."

   The unaudited pro forma combined financial information set forth below is not
necessarily  indicative  of the  Company's  combined  financial  position or the
results of operations that actually would have occurred if the  transactions had
been consummated on the dates shown. In addition,  they are not intended to be a
projection  of results  of  operations  that may be  obtained  in the  Company's
future. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information should be read in

(1)   The Company has grown substantially through acquisitions, which materially
      affects the comparability of the financial data reflected herein.

(2)   In 1995, the Company implemented  Financial  Accounting  Standards Board's
      Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 121 in  connection  with
      IHS'  implementation  thereof.  Through evaluation of the recent financial
      performance and a recent  appraisal of one of its facilities,  the Company
      estimated the fair value of this facility and determined that the carrying
      value of certain long-lived  assets,  including goodwill and buildings and
      improvements,  exceeded  their fair value.  The excess  carrying value was
      written off and is included in the statement of  operations  for 1995 as a
      loss from impairment of long-lived  assets.  See "Management's  Discussion
      and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


   The following  discussion  and analysis  should be read in  conjunction  with
"Selected Consolidated Financial Data" and the Consolidated Financial Statements
and related Notes thereto included elsewhere in this Prospectus. This Prospectus
contains, in addition to historical information, forward-looking statements that
involve  risks and  uncertainties.  The  Company's  actual  results could differ
materially.  Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include,
but are not  limited  to,  those  discussed  in "Risk  Factors" as well as those
discussed elsewhere in this Prospectus. 

OVERVIEW


   The Company  currently  operates 17 assisted  living and other senior housing
facilities containing 1,808 units in six states. The 1,808 units operated by the
Company consist of 1,183 assisted  living units  (including 162 units devoted to
Alzheimer's  and dementia care),  544  independent  living units for persons who
require occasional assistance with the activities of daily living and 81 skilled
nursing  units.  The  Company is  pursuing a strategy  of rapid  growth  through
development  and  acquisition,   and  intends  to  acquire,  develop  or  obtain
agreements to manage  approximately 60 to 75 assisted living facilities per year
in each of the next three  years.  As part of this  strategy,  ILC is  currently
developing  35 assisted  living  facilities,  of which 25 are  scheduled to open
during 1997, has entered into  agreements to acquire two  additional  facilities
containing 312 units simultaneous with the closing of this offering and to lease
two  facilities  containing  70 units,  and is  evaluating  numerous  additional
acquisition opportunities.  All of ILC's 1995 revenues from its owned and leased
facilities were derived from private pay sources.

   To achieve its growth objectives,  the Company will need to obtain sufficient
financial  resources  to fund  its  development,  construction  and  acquisition
activities and anticipated operating losses.  Accordingly,  the Company's future
growth will depend on its ability to obtain  additional  financing on acceptable
terms.  The Company  expects  negative  cash flow for at least the next  several
years as it  continues  to  develop  and  acquire  assisted  living  facilities,
primarily  as a result of the  development  and opening of 25 to 35 new assisted
living  facilities  in each of the next three  years.  There can be no assurance
that any newly developed  facility will achieve a stabilized  occupancy rate and
resident mix that meets the Company's  expectations  or generates  positive cash
flow. The Company currently estimates that the net proceeds to be received by it
in this offering,  together with financing  commitments and  sale/leaseback  and
mortgage financing that it anticipates will be available,  will be sufficient to
fund its  acquisition  and  development  program and its  anticipated  operating
losses for at least the next 12 months. There can be no assurance, however, that
the Company will not be required to seek additional  capital earlier.  See "Risk
Factors  -- Need for  Substantial  Additional  Capital"  and "--  Liquidity  and
Capital Resources."

   The  Company  intends to  finance  the  development  and  acquisition  of its
assisted  living  facilities  through  mortgage   financing,   operating  leases
(including  sale/leaseback  financing)  and lines of  credit.  As a result,  the
Company  expects to incur  substantial  indebtedness  and debt related  payments
(including  payments  on  operating  leases) as the  Company  pursues its growth
strategy.  Consequently,  the Company  anticipates that a substantial portion of
the  Company's  cash flow will be devoted to debt  service  and lease  payments.
There can be no assurance  that the Company will generate  sufficient  cash flow
from operations to cover required  interest,  principal and lease payments.  The
Company's leverage may also adversely affect the Company's ability to respond to
changing  business  and economic  conditions  or continue  its  development  and
acquisition program. See "Risk Factors -- Substantial Anticipated Debt and Lease
Obligations."

   The Company derives its revenues from two primary sources:  (i) resident fees
for the delivery of assisted living  services and (ii)  management  services and
other income,  primarily for  management of facilities  owned by third  parties.
Historically,  most of the  Company's  operating  revenue has come from resident
fees,  which in 1995 and the first  quarter of 1996  comprised  93.0% and 92.0%,
respectively,  of total  revenues.  Resident fees  typically are paid monthly by
residents,  their  families or other  responsible  parties.  In 1995, all of the
Company's  revenue from its owned and leased facilities was derived from private
pay sources.  Resident fees include  revenue  derived from basic care,  entrance
fees,  healthcare  services provided by the Company,  Alzheimer's care and other
sources. Entrance fees are one-time fees generally payable by a resident 

                                25


<PAGE>
upon  admission.  Residents  who  require  personal  care in excess of  services
provided under the basic care program pay additional fees.  Management  services
and other income,  which in 1995 and the first quarter of 1996 accounted for the
remaining  7.0% and 8.0%,  respectively,  of revenues,  consists  principally of
management  fees.  Management  fees are  generally  in the range of four to five
percent of a managed  facility's  total  operating  revenues.  Resident fees and
management fees are recognized as revenues when services are provided.

   The Company classifies its operating expenses into the following  categories:
(i) facility operating expenses,  which include labor, food, marketing and other
direct facility expenses;  (ii) facility  development and pre-opening  expenses,
which include  non-capitalized  development  expenses and pre-opening  labor and
marketing expenses;  (iii) corporate  administrative and general expenses, which
primarily  includes  headquarters and regional staff expenses and other overhead
costs;  and (iv)  depreciation and  amortization.  In anticipation of its growth
plans, the Company intends to increase  significantly  its corporate  management
and staff in the 12 months following this offering.

   From its inception in November 1995 through the present, the Company has been
operated as a wholly-owned  subsidiary of Integrated  Health  Services,  Inc. To
date IHS has provided all required financial, legal, accounting, human resources
and  information  systems  services to the Company,  and has  satisfied  all the
Company's capital  requirements in excess of internally generated funds. IHS has
charged the Company a flat fee of 6% of total  revenue for these  services.  The
Company  estimates that the cost of obtaining  these services from third parties
would have been significantly higher than the fee charged by IHS. IHS has agreed
to provide certain  administrative  services to the Company after the closing of
this offering until the Company has relocated to Florida and implemented its own
MIS and  accounting  systems,  which the Company  anticipates  will occur in the
fourth quarter of 1996. See "Business -- Operations" and "Certain Transactions."

   The Company believes that for the foreseeable  future the greatest portion of
its  revenue  growth  will  be  from  the  development  and  acquisition  of new
facilities. The Company generated 100% of its revenues from its owned and leased
facilities from private pay sources during 1995.  However,  depending in part on
the results of future acquisitions,  this percentage could decrease from time to
time.  The Company  believes  that,  for the  foreseeable  future,  the level of
governmental  reimbursement  for its  services  that  will be  available  to its
residents who receive such reimbursement will be insufficient to cover the costs
of delivering  the level of service that the Company  currently  provides.  As a
result,  the Company  currently and for the  foreseeable  future expects to rely
primarily on its residents'  ability to pay the Company's charges from their own
familial financial resources.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH
31, 1995

   Revenues  increased  from  $3.9  million  in 1995 to $5.6  million  in  1996,
representing  a 43.2%  increase.  Substantially  all of the increase in revenues
resulted from the acquisition of the Carrington  Pointe facility on December 31,
1995 and the  leasing of the  Vintage  facility  on January  29,  1996.  Average
occupancy of the Company's owned and leased  facilities  during the three months
ended  March 31, 1996 was 93.4% as  compared  to 90.0%  during the three  months
ended March 31, 1995.  Management  services  and other  revenue  increased  from
$166,000 in 1995 to $451,000 in 1996, representing a 171.3% increase,  primarily
due to the addition of four managed facilities  subsequent to March 31, 1995 and
increased other revenue at its existing owned and leased facilities.

   Facility  operations  expense  increased  from $2.8  million  in 1995 to $3.5
million  in  1996,  representing  a  27.3%  increase.  Substantially  all of the
increase  resulted  from the  addition  of the  Carrington  Pointe  and  Vintage
facilities.  Facility  operations  expense as a percentage of revenues decreased
from 70.2% in 1995 to 62.6% in 1996 due to the higher  margins of the Carrington
Pointe  facility,  as  well as  improved  operating  results  at  facilities  in
operation in both periods.

   Facility  rents  increased  from  $614,000  in  1995  to  $725,000  in  1996,
representing an 18.0% increase.  Substantially all of the increase resulted from
the leasing of the Vintage facility  commencing January 29, 1996. Facility rents
as a percentage of revenue  decreased from 15.7% in 1995 to 12.9% in 1996 due to
the higher revenue base of the  Carrington  Pointe  facility,  which is an owned
facility.

   Corporate  administrative and general expense increased from $243,000 in 1995
to $337,000 in 1996, an increase of 38.4%.  Substantially all of the increase is
due to the addition of the Carrington Pointe and Vintage  facilities.  Corporate
administrative  and general  expense as a percentage of revenue  decreased  from
6.2% in 1995 to 6.0% in 1996.  The  Company's  Waterside  facility was charged a
management  fee of 4.5% of monthly  service  fee  revenue by each of IHS and the
minority  partner while the other facilities were charged a management fee equal
to 6% of  total  revenue  by IHS.  The  reason  for the  decrease  in  corporate
administrative and general expense as a percentage of revenues from 1995 to 1996
is that the Waterside  facility's  revenues  constituted a smaller percentage of
total  revenue in 1996 as  compared  to 1995 due to the  acquisitions  mentioned
above. See Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

   Depreciation  and  amortization  expense  increased  from $104,000 in 1995 to
$248,000  in 1996,  representing  a 138.1%  increase.  Substantially  all of the
increase  resulted  from the  addition  of the  Carrington  Pointe  facility  on
December 31, 1995.  Depreciation  and  amortization  expense as a percentage  of
revenue  increased from 2.7% in 1995 to 4.4% in 1996 due to the above  mentioned
acquisition.

   Earnings  before  income taxes  increased  $590,000  from $202,000 in 1995 to
$792,000 in 1996,  representing a 292.9% increase. This was primarily due to the
improved  operating  results at the  Carrington  Pointe and  Vintage  facilities
acquired  subsequent to March 31, 1995, as well as improved operating results at
facilities in operation in both periods.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994

   Revenues  increased  from  $11.6  million  in 1994 to $16.3  million in 1995,
representing  a 39.7%  increase.  Substantially  all of the increase in revenues
resulted from the lease of The Shores and Cheyenne Place  facilities  commencing
August 31,  1994 and the  addition of The  Homestead  facility on April 1, 1994.
Average  occupancy of the Company's owned and leased  facilities during the year
ended  December  31, 1995 was 90.9% as  compared to 79.7%  during the year ended
December 31, 1994. Management services and other revenue increased from $739,000
in 1994 to $1.1 million in 1995, representing a 55.1% increase, primarily due to
the addition of three managed  facilities in 1995 and increased other revenue at
its existing owned and leased facilities.

   Facility  operations  expense  increased  from $8.3  million in 1994 to $11.2
million  in  1995,  representing  a  36.2%  increase.  Substantially  all of the
increase  in  facility  operations  expense  resulted  from the  addition of the
Cheyenne Place,  The Homestead and The Shores  facilities.  Facility  operations
expense as a percentage of revenue  decreased  from 70.8% of revenues in 1994 to
69.1% of revenues in 1995 due to the improved  operating  results in 1995 of the
two facilities leased and the one facility acquired in 1994.

                                27

<PAGE>
   Facility  rents  increased from $1.5 million in 1994 to $2.4 million in 1995,
representing a 65.8% increase.  The increase in rent expense primarily  resulted
from the two leases  entered into in 1994.  Facility  rents as a  percentage  of
revenues  increased  from 12.6% in 1994 to 14.9% in 1995 due to the lease of The
Shores and Cheyenne Place facilities in 1994.

   Corporate  administrative and general expense increased from $725,000 in 1994
to $1.0 million in 1995, representing a 38.6% increase. Substantially all of the
increase in  corporate  administrative  and general  expense  resulted  from the
addition  of the  Cheyenne  Place,  The  Homestead  and The  Shores  facilities.
Corporate  administrative  and  general  expenses  as a  percentage  of revenues
remained constant in both periods at 6.2% of revenues.

   Depreciation  and  amortization  expense  increased  from $369,000 in 1994 to
$414,000 in 1995,  representing a 12.4%  increase.  The increase in depreciation
and amortization  expense primarily  resulted from the addition of The Homestead
facility and routine capital  additions at other  facilities.  Depreciation  and
amortization  decreased as a percentage  of revenue from 3.2% to 2.6% due to the
increase in revenue from the two facilities leased in 1994.

   Loss on Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets.  In 1995,  the Company  implemented
Financial   Accounting  Standards  Board's  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
Standards  No.  121 in  connection  with IHS'  implementation  thereof.  Through
evaluation of the recent financial  performance and a recent appraisal of one of
its  facilities,  the  Company  estimated  the fair value of this  facility  and
determined  that the  carrying  value of certain  long-lived  assets,  including
goodwill and buildings and  improvements,  exceeded their fair value. The excess
carrying value of $5,126,000 was written off and is included in the statement of
operations  for 1995 as a loss on impairment of long-lived  assets.  See Notes 1
and 12 to Consolidated Financial Statements.

   Earnings  (loss) before income taxes  decreased  from earnings of $830,000 in
1994 to loss of $3,949,000 in 1995,  representing a decrease of 575.7%. This was
primarily due to improved  operating  results at facilities in operation in both
periods and  facilities  acquired  subsequent to December 31, 1994 offset by the
loss on impairment of long-lived assets.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993

   Revenues  increased  from  $5.2  million  in 1993 to $11.6  million  in 1994,
representing  a  122.2%  increase.  The  increase  primarily  resulted  from the
addition of the Waterside and West Palm Beach facilities on December 1, 1993 and
The Homestead  facility on April 1, 1994,  and the leasing of the Cheyenne Place
and The Shores  facilities  on August 31,  1994.  Management  services and other
revenue  increased  from  $231,000 in 1993 to $739,000 in 1994,  representing  a
220.4%  increase,  primarily due to one additional  managed facility in 1994 and
increased other revenue at its existing owned and leased facilities.

   Facility  operations  expense  increased  from $3.5  million  in 1993 to $8.3
million in 1994, representing a 138.9% increase. The increase primarily resulted
from the addition of the Cheyenne Place, The Homestead, The Shore, Waterside and
West Palm Beach  facilities.  Facility  operations  expense as a  percentage  of
revenues  increased  from  66.0% in 1993 to  70.8% in 1994 due to the  increased
operating expenses incurred to integrate the five new facilities.

   Facility  rents  increased  from  $856,000  in 1993 to $1.5  million in 1994,
representing  an increase of 71.3%.  The increase  primarily  resulted  from the
lease of the Cheyenne Place and The Shores facilities in 1994. Facility rents as
a percentage of total  revenues  decreased  from 16.3% in 1993 to 12.6% in 1994,
primarily as a result of the addition of The Homestead and Waterside facilities,
which are owned facilities.

   Corporate  administrative and general expense increased from $315,000 in 1993
to $725,000 in 1994,  representing an increase of 130.7%. The increase primarily
resulted from the addition of the Cheyenne  Place,  The  Homestead,  The Shores,
Waterside and West Palm Beach facilities.  Corporate  administrative and general
expense as a percentage of revenue  increased from 6.0% in 1993 to 6.2% in 1994.
The increase  primarily  resulted from Waterside being an owned facility for all
of 1994 but only one month of 1993.


                                28
<PAGE>
   Depreciation  and  amortization  expense  increased  from  $24,000 in 1993 to
$369,000 in 1994,  representing  a 1,466.8%  increase.  The  increase  primarily
resulted  from the  addition  of The  Homestead,  Waterside  and West Palm Beach
facilities.  Depreciation  and  amortization  expense as a percentage of revenue
increased from 0.4% to 3.2% due to the addition of these three new facilities.

   Earnings  before income taxes  increased from $590,000 in 1993 to $830,000 in
1994,  representing  a 40.6%  increase.  This was  primarily  due to  additional
pre-tax income generated at facilities acquired subsequent to December 31, 1993.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


   To date the Company has financed its  operations  through cash  contributions
from IHS and cash from operations.

   At March 31, 1996, the Company had working capital of $529,000 as compared to
a deficit of $315,000 at December 31, 1995.

   The Company has obtained a commitment  (the  "Financing  Commitment")  from a
real  estate  investment  trust  ("REIT")  to make  available  to ILC up to $100
million to develop,  construct and acquire facilities.  No less than $40 million
is to  be  invested  in  existing  facilities  ("Existing  Facilities")  through
purchase and lease or  sale/leaseback  transactions.  Remaining funds (up to $60
million) may be invested in new  development  projects ("New  Facilities").  The
Company  will  develop  each New  Facility  pursuant  to a separate  development
agreement  with the REIT and will lease each New Facility and financed  Existing
Facility from the REIT pursuant to a separate lease agreement. Each acquisition,
development,  lease and ancillary  agreement  executed pursuant to the Financing
Commitment will contain representations and warranties, indemnities, affirmative
covenants and conditions  precedent  customary for real estate  investment trust
transactions.  The  REIT's  funding of New  Facilities  is  contingent  upon the
Company's  completion of an initial public offering which results in the Company
having  stockholders'  equity of not less than $75 million.  A $200,000  deposit
(the  "Expense  Deposit"),  to ensure the payment of the REIT's  expenses in the
event  transactions  contemplated  pursuant to the Financing  Commitment are not
completed,  was paid upon the Company's  execution of the Financing  Commitment.
The Financing Commitment expires on June 30, 1997.

   Each development agreement executed pursuant to the Financing Commitment will
require the Company,  as  developer,  to arrange,  coordinate  and carry out all
services  necessary to develop each New Facility.  The Maximum Cost (as defined)
based on an appraisal of Fair Market Value (as defined) and a development budget
for each facility  will be approved by the REIT and included in the  development
agreement.  Total Construction Cost (as defined) will equal land cost plus total
actual  construction  costs, one point on Maximum Cost (accrued as a cost by the
REIT),  all legal costs and fees  (including  in-house legal costs)  incurred in
connection with the project, a construction  administration fee to be accrued as
a cost by the REIT  equal to $1,550  per month  (subject  to  reduction)  and an
allowance  for the REIT's  cost of money at 1.5% over the Bank of New York prime
rate.  The cost of  overruns,  if any,  including  the REIT's  carrying  cost on
overruns,  are to be paid by the Company. The REIT will not be required to pay a
Total  Construction  Cost in excess of Maximum Cost.  The Company will guarantee
the completion of a New Facility within 12 months and will guarantee to make all
payments in excess of Maximum  Cost to complete  the  facility.  The Company may
include in the Total  Construction Cost the amount of any actual development fee
paid to an unrelated developer, up to a maximum of 5% of Maximum Cost.

   The REIT will pay fair market value,  based on an  appraisal,  to purchase an
Existing  Facility.  All leases will be "triple  net" and the REIT will have the
right to a higher  lease  rate on  facilities  located  in states  that tax REIT
income.  The  primary  term for  each  lease  will be 15 years  with two 10 year
renewal options at fair market value lease rates. All leases covering facilities
financed under the Financing  Commitment must be renewed together as a group and
not individually.

   The base lease rate for Existing Facility leases executed under the Financing
Commitment  will equal 325 basis  points  above the 10-year  Treasury  Note rate
published  in The  Wall  Street  Journal  three  business  days  prior  to lease
commencement.  The base rent  under  such  leases  will  equal  the  lease  rate
multiplied by the Existing  Facility purchase price. The base lease rate for New
Facility leases will equal 350 basis points above the 10-year Treasury Note rate
published in The Wall Street Journal three busi

                                29

ness days prior to lease commencement.  The base rent under New Facility leases
will equal the lease rate  multiplied  by the Total  Construction  Cost,  not to
exceed the Maximum Cost.  Beginning in the second year of the lease,  each lease
will provide for the payment of  additional  rent,  increased  annually and paid
quarterly in arrears,  equal to the sum of (a) the prior year's  additional rent
and (b) the annual  change in the CPI  multipled by the prior year's total rent.
In no event will additional rent be less than the sum of (a) the additional rent
paid for the previous year plus (b) one hundred percent of the facility's  Gross
Revenues  (as  defined) in excess of Base  Revenue (as  defined),  up to but not
exceeding an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the prior year's total rent. In
no event will the  additional  rent  represent  more than a 5% increase over the
prior  year's  total  rent.  In  addition to the payment of rent and the Expense
Deposit, the Company is required to provide an annually renewed letter of credit
for each financed  facility  equal to six months total lease  payments to secure
acquisition,  development  and lease  obligations  (subject to reduction to four
months  upon  completion  of an initial  public  offering  which  results in the
Company having  stockholders'  equity of not less than $75 million).  All leases
under the Financing Commitment will be cross-defaulted and  cross-collateralized
and all  leases  between  the  REIT  and a  subsidiary  of the  Company  will be
guaranteed  by the Company.  The Company will be obligated to reimburse the REIT
for  certain  costs  and  expenses  incurred  in  connection  with  transactions
completed pursuant to the Financing  Commitment.  In addition,  a non-refundable
commitment fee, equal to one percent (1%) of the purchase price of each Existing
Facility,  will be due and  payable at the  closing of the  acquisition  of each
Existing Facility.

   The Company has also obtained a non-binding  term sheet from Capstone Capital
Corporation  ("Capstone")  relating to the  availability of up to $40 million in
financing through sale/leaseback transactions.  An expense deposit of $1,000,000
is  payable  by the  Company  within  one  business  day of the  execution  of a
commitment  agreement  and a fee equal to 1% of total  building  cost is payable
upon the initial draw on the commitment relating to each facility purchased.  As
proposed,  leases  executed  with Capstone will have an initial term of 12 to 15
years and three  separate five year extension  options.  All leases funded under
the proposed commitment,  however,  will have the same initial term and no lease
may be extended unless all leases under the commitment are extended.  Subject to
a minimum rate of 10%, the initial lease rate will be 350 basis points in excess
of the yield on U.S. Treasury bills with similar  maturities/terms.  Lease rates
during the first year of each  extended  period  will be based upon fair  market
rental values.  Lease rates will be adjusted annually (except for the first year
of each  renewal  period)  in an  amount  equal to the  positive  change  in the
consumer  price index;  provided,  however,  in no event will the change be less
than 2% or more than 5% of the previous year's lease payment.

   All leases under the proposed Capstone commitment will be cross-defaulted and
all leases  between  Capstone and a subsidiary of the Company will be guaranteed
by  the  Company.  Each  facility  lease  will  contain  minimum  rent  coverage
requirements and will require the Company to maintain a minimum net worth of $80
million  and  minimum  rent and  interest  coverage  ratios.  Each lease will be
"triple-net" and will grant the Company a right of first refusal to purchase the
facility  from  Capstone.  The Company  will  reimburse  Capstone  for all costs
incurred in connection with transactions completed under the proposed commitment
and up to  $2,000  per  year for  independent  third-party  inspections  of each
facility.  There can be no  assurance  that the Company will receive a financing
commitment  from  Capstone on these  terms,  on  different  terms or at all. Dr.
Elkins, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company,  is a director of
Capstone.

   Following  this  offering,  the  Company  will be  dependent  on  third-party
financing for its acquisition and development program.  Except for the financing
commitments   discussed  above,  the  Company  has  no  other  arrangements  for
financing.   There  can  be  no  assurance  that  financing  for  the  Company's
acquisition  and  development  program  will  be  available  to the  Company  on
acceptable  terms  or at all.  Moreover,  to the  extent  the  Company  acquires
facilities  that do not generate  positive cash flow (after rent expense  and/or
interest),  the Company may be required to seek  additional  capital for working
capital  and  liquidity  purposes.  See "Risk  Factors  -- Need for  Substantial
Additional Capital."

   The Company presently  anticipates that it will make capital  expenditures of
approximately  $3  million  in 1996  relating  to its  existing  facilities.  In
addition,  the Company will use approximately  $14.9 million of the net proceeds
of this  offering to acquire two  additional  facilities  simultaneous  with the
closing of this offering, and anticipates that it will make capital expenditures
of approximately $500,000 with respect to these two

                                30

<PAGE>
facilities.  The  Company  anticipates  that it will  spend  approximately  $9.0
million in 1996 to purchase  land for the  development  of new  assisted  living
facilities.  The Company has agreed to provide two of its third-party developers
lines of credit aggregating $1.6 million. See "Use of Proceeds" and "Business --
Properties."

   The Company  currently  estimates  that the net proceeds to be received by it
from this offering,  together with financing  commitments and sale/leaseback and
mortgage financing that it anticipates will be available,  will be sufficient to
fund its  acquisition  and  development  program and  operations for the next 12
months.  There  can be no  assurance,  however,  that  the  Company  will not be
required  to seek  additional  capital  earlier.  Additional  financing  will be
necessary to enable the Company to respond to changing economic conditions or to
effect  further  expansion.  There can be no  assurance  that the  Company  will
generate  sufficient  cash  flow  during  such time to fund its  future  working
capital,  rent, debt service  requirements or growth. In such event, the Company
would have to seek additional  financing through debt or equity offerings,  bank
borrowings,  sale/leaseback  transactions  or  otherwise,  and  there  can be no
assurance that such  financing will be available on acceptable  terms or at all.

                                   BUSINESS

OVERVIEW


   The Company provides  assisted living and related services to the private pay
elderly market. Assisted living facilities combine housing, personalized support
and healthcare services in a cost-effective,  non-institutional setting designed
to address the individual needs of the elderly who need regular  assistance with
activities  of daily  living,  such as eating,  bathing,  dressing  and personal
hygiene,  but who do not require the level of  healthcare  provided in a skilled
nursing facility.  The Company  currently  operates 17 assisted living and other
senior housing facilities  containing 1,808 units in six states. The 1,808 units
operated by the Company  consist of 1,183 assisted  living units  (including 162
units devoted to Alzheimer's  and dementia care),  544 independent  living units
for persons who  require  occasional  assistance  with the  activities  of daily
living and 81 skilled nursing units. The Company is pursuing a strategy of rapid
growth through development and acquisition,  and intends to acquire,  develop or
obtain  agreements to manage  approximately 60 to 75 assisted living  facilities
per year in each of the  next  three  years.  As part of this  strategy,  ILC is
currently developing 35 assisted living facilities, of which 25 are scheduled to
open  during  1997,  has  entered  into  agreements  to acquire  two  additional
facilities  containing 312 units  simultaneous with the closing of this offering
and to lease two  facilities  containing 70 units,  and is  evaluating  numerous
additional acquisition opportunities.  All of ILC's 1995 revenues from its owned
and leased facilities were derived from private pay sources.

   The  Company's  objective  is to expand  its  operations  to become a leading
provider of high-quality,  affordable assisted living services.  Key elements of
the  Company's  strategy to achieve  this goal are to: (i) provide  high-quality
healthcare  oriented  services;   (ii)  grow  rapidly  through  development  and
acquisition of additional assisted living facilities;  (iii) utilize a flexible,
cost-effective  approach for the development of new assisted living  facilities;
and (iv) target a broad segment of the private-pay population.

   The  assisted  living  industry is highly  fragmented  and  characterized  by
numerous  small   operators   whose  scope  of  services  vary  widely.   Annual
expenditures for assisted living services were estimated to be $10 to 12 billion
in 1995.  The Company  believes that factors  contributing  to the growth of the
assisted living industry include: (i) the aging of the U.S. population; (ii) the
increasing  affluence of the elderly and their  families;  (iii) the  decreasing
availability  of family care in the home;  (iv) consumer  preference for greater
independence and a less institutional  setting;  (v) the increasing  emphasis by
both federal and state governments and private insurers on containing  long-term
care costs;  and (vi) the reduced  availability of skilled nursing beds for less
medically intensive residents.  The Company believes that the foregoing factors,
combined with the  fragmented  nature of the industry and the  inexperience  and
lack of resources of many operators,  have created a significant opportunity for
ILC to become a leading  provider of  high-quality,  affordable  assisted living
services.

   The Company  believes  that its approach to the  development  of new assisted
living  facilities  differs  from  that of many  other  operators.  Unlike  many
assisted  living  operators,  the Company intends to rely primarily on a limited
number  of  third-party  developers,  rather  than  maintain  a  large  internal
development staff. ILC currently has relationships with three developers,  which
developers  are  responsible  for  32  of  the  35  facilities  currently  under
development  by the Company.  The Company has,  together with these  developers,
developed  three  flexible  and  expandable   prototype  building  designs.  The
flexibility  feature is expected  to allow the  facility's  assisted  living and
Alzheimer's bed allotment to be quickly and cost-effectively  reconfigured based
on changing market demand.  The  expandability  feature is expected to allow the
prototype buildings to be easily and cost-effectively expanded with little or no
disruption to current operations.  The Company believes its development approach
will offer many advantages, including better construction quality control, lower
architectural  and  engineering  fees, bulk purchasing of materials and fixtures
and faster development and construction schedules. 

BACKGROUND


   Assisted  living  is  quickly  emerging  as an  important  component  in  the
continuum  of care within the  healthcare  delivery  system and can be viewed as
falling in the middle of the elder care  continuum,  with home-based care on one
end and skilled nursing  facilities and acute care hospitals on the other. It is
a


                                32

<PAGE>
cost-effective  setting for the  elderly who do not require the higher  level of
medical  care   provided  by  skilled   nursing   facilities   but  cannot  live
independently because of physical frailties or cognitive  impairments.  Assisted
living facilities combine housing,  personalized support services and healthcare
in a  non-institutional  setting designed to address the individual needs of the
elderly who need regular assistance with certain activities of daily living.

   The  assisted  living  industry is highly  fragmented  and  characterized  by
numerous small  operators  whose scope of services vary widely from small "board
and  care"  facilities  (generally  12 or fewer  residents)  with  little  or no
services to large facilities offering a full array of personal care services. In
comparison  to the nursing home and other  healthcare  industries,  the assisted
living  industry  is  currently  subject to little  government  regulation.  The
Company expects  government  regulation to increase,  however,  as more assisted
living  facilities  begin to expand the type and amount of  healthcare  services
they offer and states continue to expand Medicaid  funding of assisted living as
a cost-effective alternative to skilled nursing facilities. The Company believes
that  because  of  increased   governmental   regulation  of  the  industry,   a
transformation  of the industry  from housing and personal care services to more
healthcare-oriented   services,  cost  containment  pressures,   the  growth  of
healthcare  networks and the inexperience and limited capital  resources of many
operators,  the  highly-fragmented  assisted living industry will consolidate in
the near future.  According to the U.S.  Health Care  Financing  Administration,
annual   expenditures   for  assisted  living  services  were  estimated  to  be
approximately  $10 to $12 billion in 1995.  Private pay services account for the
majority of payments;  however, in some states, Medicaid funds are available for
assisted  living,  although no funding is currently  available  from the federal
Medicare program.

   The Company  believes  that  assisted  living is one of the  fastest  growing
segments of elder care, benefiting from the following significant trends:

        Aging Population. The Company's target market, comprised of seniors aged
   75 and older, is one of the fastest growing segments of the U.S.  population.
   According to the U.S.  Bureau of the Census,  this  population is expected to
   increase  28% from  approximately  13  million  in 1990 to  approximately  17
   million by 2000, as compared to the total U.S. population,  which is expected
   to increase by  approximately  11% during the same  period.  According to the
   U.S.  General  Accounting  Office,  in 1993 more than 7 million people in the
   U.S. needed  assistance  with activities of daily living,  and this number is
   expected to double by 2020. It is further estimated that approximately 57% of
   the population of seniors over the age of 85 need  assistance with activities
   of daily living and more than  one-half of such seniors  develop  Alzheimer's
   disease or other forms of dementia.

        Increasing  Financial  Net  Worth.  As the ratio of  elderly  in need of
   assistance  has  increased,  so too has the number of elderly  able to afford
   assisted living.  According to U.S. Bureau of the Census data, the median net
   worth of  families  in which  the head of the  family  is age 75 or older has
   increased from $55,178 in 1984 to $61,491 in 1988 to $76,541 in 1991.

        Changing  Family  Role.  Historically,  the family has been the  primary
   provider of care to the  elderly.  The Company  believes,  however,  that the
   increased  percentage of women in the  workforce,  the growing  number of two
   income  families  and the  increased  mobility  of society are  reducing  the
   family's role as the traditional  caregiver for the elderly,  which will make
   it  necessary  for  many  of the  elderly  to look  outside  the  family  for
   assistance as they age.

        Consumer  Preference.  The  Company  believes  that  assisted  living is
   increasingly  becoming the setting  preferred by  prospective  residents  and
   their  families  in which to care for the  elderly.  Assisted  living  offers
   residents  greater  independence  and  allows  them to "age  in  place"  in a
   residential  setting,  which the Company believes results in a higher quality
   of life than that  experienced in more  institutional  or clinical  settings,
   such as skilled nursing facilities.

        Cost-Containment  Pressures.  In response to rapidly  rising  healthcare
   costs,   both    governmental   and   private-pay    sources   have   adopted
   cost-containment measures that have reduced admissions and encouraged reduced
   lengths of stays in hospitals and skilled  nursing  facilities.  As a result,
   hospitals are discharging  patients earlier and referring  seniors to skilled
   nursing facilities where the cost of

                                33
<PAGE>
   providing care is lower, and skilled nursing facility  operators  continue to
   focus on  expanding  services to higher  acuity  patients.  As a result,  the
   supply of skilled  nursing  facility  beds is  increasingly  being  filled by
   patients with higher acuity needs paying higher fees,  leaving  little excess
   capacity for seniors needing a lower level of care. The Company believes that
   this trend creates a significant  opportunity for assisted living facilities,
   as states,  as well as long-term  care  insurance  companies and managed care
   companies,  are increasingly  focusing on assisted living as a cost-effective
   alternative  to skilled  nursing  facilities.  Based on  industry  data,  the
   average cost for assisted living facilities is approximately $24,000 per year
   as compared to an average cost of approximately  $35,000 per year for skilled
   nursing facilities.


BUSINESS STRATEGY


   The  Company's  objective  is to expand  its  operations  to become a leading
provider of high-quality,  affordable assisted living services.  Key elements of
the Company's strategy to achieve this goal are to:

        Provide  High-Quality,  Healthcare-Oriented  Services.  In  addition  to
   providing a broad range of assistance with the activities of daily living and
   offering  special  care  programs to  residents  suffering  from  Alzheimer's
   disease or other  forms of  dementia,  the  Company  focuses  on meeting  the
   healthcare  needs of its  residents to the maximum  extent  permitted by law,
   thereby  enabling its residents to age in place.  As a result,  residents are
   generally  able to  remain  at ILC  facilities  until  they  develop  medical
   conditions  requiring  institutional care available only in a skilled nursing
   facility  or an acute care  hospital.  Where  allowed by law,  the  Company's
   assisted living facilities offer care to residents who are incontinent,  mild
   to  moderately  confused,  convalescing,   nonambulatory,   diabetic,  oxygen
   dependent  or  similarly  dependent.  All of the  Company's  assisted  living
   facilities  (excluding  its senior housing and  congregate  care  facilities)
   employ  licensed  nurses.  The Company  ensures that all its  facilities  are
   appropriately staffed to provide its residents with high-quality personalized
   care and services.

        Grow Rapidly Through  Development,  Acquisition and Facility  Expansion.
   The  Company  intends to pursue  rapid  growth  over the next three  years to
   benefit from the  anticipated  increased  market  demand for assisted  living
   services  and the expected  industry  consolidation.  The Company  intends to
   acquire,  develop  or  obtain  agreements  to manage  approximately  60 to 75
   assisted  living  facilities  per year in each of the next three  years.  The
   Company is currently  developing 35 assisted living  facilities,  of which 25
   are  scheduled  to open in 1997.  Management  has  extensive  contacts in the
   senior  housing and  healthcare  industries,  and the  Company is  frequently
   presented with  opportunities  to acquire,  develop or manage assisted living
   facilities.  The Company expects that industry  consolidation  will result in
   increased future acquisition opportunities.  In addition, as demand increases
   in its existing markets,  the Company plans to grow by expanding the capacity
   of existing buildings.

        Utilize  Flexible,  Cost-Effective  Development  Approach.  The  Company
   believes  that  its  development  approach  will  allow  it  to  quickly  and
   cost-effectively develop new assisted living facilities.  The Company intends
   to rely primarily on a limited number of third-party developers,  rather than
   maintain a large  internal  development  staff,  to develop  assisted  living
   facilities.  The Company currently has  relationships  with three developers,
   with which the Company has developed three flexible and expandable  prototype
   building  designs:  a 35 unit/40  bed pure  assisted  living  facility,  a 40
   unit/40  bed pure  Alzheimer's  facility  and an 80 unit/92  bed  combination
   assisted  living/Alzheimer's  facility.  Flexibility,  which  will  allow the
   Company to respond to changing  utilization  patterns and service needs,  and
   expandability,  which will allow the Company to  cost-effectively  respond to
   increased  market  demand,  are key features of the  prototype  designs.  The
   Company  believes  the  use  of  prototype  designs  and a  small  number  of
   developers will offer many advantages to the development  process,  including
   better  construction  quality control,  lower  architectural  and engineering
   fees,  bulk  purchasing of materials and fixtures at a lower cost, and faster
   development and construction schedules.

        Target Broad Segment of  Private-Pay  Population.  The Company's  target
   markets are generally second or third tier cities or suburbs of major cities.
   The target population in these markets is private-pay seniors over the age of
   75 with annual incomes of at least $25,000. This mass-market

                                34
<PAGE>
   approach  enables  the  Company to  evaluate a  multitude  of markets  and be
   selective in acquiring and developing  properties.  The Company believes this
   approach  allows  it  to  appeal  to  the  largest  segment  of  the  elderly
   population,  the middle to upper-middle  income group.  The Company  believes
   that by targeting this  population  segment,  it will be  well-positioned  to
   achieve and sustain high occupancy rates.


DEVELOPMENT AND ACQUISITION

   The  Company  targets  areas  where  there  is a  need  for  assisted  living
facilities  based on demographics  and market studies.  In selecting  geographic
markets for potential expansion,  the Company utilizes individual market studies
which consider such factors as population,  income levels,  economic climate and
competitive  environment.  The Company generally seeks to select assisted-living
facility  locations that (a) are second or third tier cities or suburbs of major
cities,  (b) have residents who generally  enjoy mid-level  incomes  compared to
incomes generally realized in the region, (c) have a regulatory climate that the
Company  considers  favorable  toward  development  and (d) are  established and
economically  stable compared to newer,  faster-growing  areas.  The Company has
found that  locations  with these  characteristics  generally  have a  receptive
population  of seniors  who desire  and can afford the  services  offered in the
Company's assisted living facilities.

   Development.  The Company  currently  expects to open  approximately 25 to 35
newly developed  assisted  living  facilities per year in each of the next three
years.  The Company is  currently  pursuing the  development  of 35 new assisted
living  facilities,  of which 25 are  scheduled  to open in  1997.  The  Company
intends to rely primarily on a limited number of third-party developers,  rather
than maintain a large internal  development  staff,  to develop  assisted living
facilities,  and currently has relationships with three developers.  The Company
maintains control over the entire development process by retaining authority for
site  selection,   prototype  design,  pricing,   development  and  construction
schedules, and quality of workmanship. See "-- Properties -- Development."

   The principal  stages in the  development  process are (i) site selection and
contract  signing,  (ii)  zoning  and site plan  approval,  (iii)  architectural
planning and design and (iv) construction and licensure.  Once a market has been
identified,  site  selection and contract  signing  typically take three months.
Zoning and site plan approval  generally  take one to three months.  The Company
anticipates that facility  construction  will generally take six to nine months.
The Company's use of prototype facilities facilitates architectural planning and
design.  After a facility  receives a certificate  of occupancy and  appropriate
licenses,  residents  usually  begin  to  move  in  immediately.  The  Company's
experience  indicates  that new  facilities  typically  reach a stable  level of
occupancy  of over 90% within six to 12 months of  opening,  but there can be no
assurance  that these  results will be achieved in new  facilities.  The Company
anticipates  that the total  capitalized  cost to develop,  construct and open a
prototype  facility,  including land acquisition and construction costs, will be
approximately $72,000 per unit, although the cost of any particular facility may
vary considerably based on a variety of site-specific factors. See "Risk Factors
- -- Limited Development Experience; Development Delays and Cost Overruns."

   The Company is presented with land sites by independent brokers,  developers,
healthcare organizations and financial institutions.  The third-party developers
with which the Company has  relationships  are also utilized to locate  suitable
sites in selected regions of the country.  If a site meets the Company's general
market  criteria,  then the Company will order a preliminary  market study by an
independent  third party.  If the market study indicates that the site meets its
geographic  selection  criteria,  the Company will then conduct a more  in-depth
analysis of the market,  in conjunction  with  developers,  to ensure there is a
demonstrated  need for assisted living services and that the site is appropriate
in terms of  location,  size and zoning.  If the market and site meet all of the
Company's selection criteria, the property is purchased for development.

   The Company has,  together with its developers,  developed three flexible and
expandable  prototype  building  designs:  a 35 unit/40 bed pure assisted living
facility,  a 40 unit/40  bed pure  Alzheimer's  facility  and an 80 unit/92  bed
combination assisted living/Alzheimer's facility.  Flexibility, which will allow
the Company to respond to changing  utilization  patterns and service needs, and
expandability,  which will  allow the  Company  to  cost-effectively  respond to
increased market demand, are key features of the 

                                35

prototype  design.  The flexibility  feature allows the facility to quickly and
cost  effectively  reconfigure its assisted living and Alzheimer's bed allotment
based on changing market demand. The expandability  feature allows the prototype
buildings  to  be  easily  and  cost-effectively  expanded  with  little  or  no
disruption   to   current   operations.   Facility   expansion   is  often  more
cost-effective  than  constructing or acquiring a new facility  because of lower
incremental  capital,  operating and fixed costs.  The Company believes that the
use of a small number of developers  working with  prototype  designs will allow
the Company to: (a) save time and money on architectural  and engineering  work;
(b) ensure better construction quality control; and (c) save time and money with
bulk  purchasing of materials and fixtures at a lower cost. All of these factors
should  contribute to faster and  cost-effective  development  and  construction
schedules. See "-- Business Strategy."

   Acquisition.  The Company has entered into definitive  agreements to acquire,
simultaneously  with the closing of this  offering,  ownership of two additional
assisted  living  facilities.  In addition,  the Company has agreed to lease two
facilities, which is expected to occur with respect to one facility in June 1996
and with  respect to the other  facility  in July  1996.  The  Company  seeks to
acquire  individual or groups of assisted living  facilities from smaller owners
and operators in its targeted markets. In evaluating possible acquisitions,  the
Company considers (i) the location,  construction quality,  condition and design
of the facility, (ii) the ability to expand the facility,  (iii) the current and
projected  cash flow of the  facility  and the  anticipated  ability to increase
revenue  through rent and occupancy  increases and  additional  assisted  living
services and (iv) the ability to acquire the facility  below  replacement  cost.
The  Company's  management  has  extensive  contacts  in the senior  housing and
healthcare   industries,   and  the  Company  is   frequently   presented   with
opportunities  to acquire,  develop or manage  assisted  living  facilities.  In
addition,  the  Company  believes  that  consolidation  in the  assisted  living
industry  will  offer  substantial  opportunities  to  acquire  assisted  living
facilities  or other  facilities  that can be  repositioned  as assisted  living
facilities.  See "Risk Factors -- Difficulties of Integrating  Acquisitions" and
"--  Uncertainty of the Proposed  Acquisitions;  Difficulties of Integrating the
Proposed Acquisitions."

   Although  the  Company  intends  to  focus  its  efforts   primarily  on  the
development and acquisition,  directly or through long-term operating leases, of
additional  assisted  living  facilities,  it may in certain  cases also  target
additional third-party management contracts as an interim step to acquisition of
facilities.  Under a  typical  management  agreement,  the  Company  receives  a
percentage  of the gross  operating  revenues of the facility and has a right of
first  refusal  to  acquire  the  facility.  See "--  Properties  --  Management
Agreements." 

SERVICES

   The  Company's  assisted  living  facilities  offer  residents a  supportive,
"home-like" setting and assistance with activities of daily living. Residents of
the Company's  facilities are typically unable to live alone, but do not require
the 24-hour  nursing  care  provided  in skilled  nursing  facilities.  Services
provided to the Company's  residents are designed to respond to their individual
needs and to improve their quality of life, are available 24 hours a day to meet
resident  needs,  and generally  include three meals per day,  housekeeping  and
grounds keeping and building  maintenance  services.  Available support services
include  nursing  care and  health-related  services,  social  and  recreational
services,  transportation  and special  services (such as banking and shopping).
Personal  services  include  bathing,  dressing,   personal  hygiene,  grooming,
ambulating  and  eating  assistance.  Health-related  services,  which  are made
available  and provided  according  to the  resident's  individual  needs and in
accordance  with state  regulatory  requirements,  may include  assistance  with
taking medication,  skin care and injections,  as well as healthcare monitoring.
By providing  programs  that are designed to offer  residents a range of service
options as their needs change,  the Company seeks to achieve greater  continuity
of care,  enabling  seniors to age in place and thereby maintain their residency
for a longer time period. 

   Clinical  Assessment.  Each resident is clinically assessed upon admission to
determine  his/her  health  status  including  functional  abilities,  need  for
personal  care  services  and  assistance  with the  activities  of daily living
(ADL's) as well as likes and dislikes. The goal of the clinical assessment is to
determine the care needs of residents as well as their lifestyle preferences.  A
current  physician's  report is also  utilized to further  ascertain  the health
status and needs of the resident. From these assessments a plan of care is

                                36

<PAGE>
developed  for each  resident  to help ensure that all staff who render care and
services meet the specific needs and preferences of each resident. Residents are
reassessed  periodically and when there is a significant  change in a resident's
condition to be sure the care plan reflects their current needs.  The care plan,
as the  document  which  reflects  the needs of the  resident,  is the basis for
determining the monthly charges for care and services.

   Healthcare  Services.   The  Company  fosters  wellness  by  offering  health
screenings  such as blood pressure  checks,  periodic  special  services such as
influenza  inoculations,  chronic disease  management (such as diabetes with its
attendant  blood glucose  monitoring),  dietary and similar  programs as well as
ongoing  exercise  and  fitness   classes.   Classes  are  given  by  healthcare
professionals to keep residents informed about disease management.

   Regulations  differ by state  regarding the type of care that can be rendered
as well as the  personnel  allowed to provide  such care.  The Company  utilizes
licensed nurses,  certified and/or trained staff to meet the healthcare needs of
its  residents.  Staff  administer  or  assist  with  medications,  observe  and
intervene as the health status of residents change,  and provide  assistance and
care to enable  residents to perform the  activities of daily living:  dressing,
bathing,  grooming,  toileting,  ambulating  and  the  like.  Residents  who are
incontinent, mild to moderately confused, convalescing, nonambulatory, diabetic,
oxygen  dependent or  similarly  dependent  are cared for where  allowed by law.
Hospice  care is offered in many of the  Company's  facilities,  as are  special
programs  such  as  post-plastic  surgery  recuperation,   stroke  recovery  and
intensive  rehabilitation.  Dietary  programs,  nutritional  support and special
retraining programs are also offered by the Company. 

   The Company's facilities provide rehabilitation services,  including physical
therapy,  speech and language  pathology and  occupational  therapy,  audiology,
pharmacy  and  physician  services,  as well as  podiatry,  dentistry  and other
professional  services.  These  specialized  healthcare  services are  generally
provided to the residents by  third-party  providers,  who are reimbursed by the
resident or a  third-party  payor (such as Medicare or Medicaid)  or, in certain
cases,  by the staff of the facility where permitted by state law. The Company's
facilities  also  provide   transportation   services  for  residents  to  visit
physicians and other professionals in the surrounding areas.

   Alzheimer's and Dementia Care. Certain of the Company's  facilities contain a
special  unit to  service  the  needs of  residents  with  Alzheimer's  disease,
dementia and other cognitive impairments.  These special needs units are located
in a  separate  area of the  facility  and have  their  own  dining  facilities,
resident lounge areas and specially trained staff.  This physical  separation of
the special needs unit enables  residents to receive the  specialized  care they
require with a minimum of disruption to other residents.  The areas are designed
to allow  residents  the  freedom to ambulate  as they wish while  keeping  them
safely contained  within an alarmed area.  Programming for a minimum of 12 hours
per day keeps these special need residents  channeled into meaningful  activity.
Special  nutritional  programs  are  used  to  help  assure  caloric  intake  is
maintained  in  residents  whose  constant  movement   increases  their  caloric
expenditure.  Family  support  groups meet  regularly with the families of these
residents.

   Adult  Day  Care.  Some of the  Company's  facilities  offer  adult  day care
services for the mentally and/or  physically  frail. The services are offered up
to six  days  per  week,  12  hours  per  day.  Many of the day  care  attendees
eventually become permanent  residents at the facility.  Residents spend the day
engaged in meaningful  activities and socialize with other  residents and staff.
Healthcare needs are monitored by staff and medication  assistance is available.
Assistance  with  activities  of daily living,  as well as meals and  nutritious
snacks,  are also  provided.  Day care offers  families  the ability to continue
employment  despite  caregiving  responsibilities  and also offers  residents an
opportunity to leave their home and interact with their peers.

   Respite  Care.  The  Company's  facilities  accept  residents  for short term
placement  (several  days to  several  months)  to  accommodate  their  or their
family's  need for  placement,  either  while the  family is on  vacation  or is
otherwise  absent or because the resident  cannot stay alone while  convalescing
from  illness  or  injury.  Many  residents  are  frequent  returnees  and often
eventually become permanent residents at the facility.

OPERATIONS


   The  Company  offers  a  broad  range  of  assisted  living  services  and an
environment in which residents can age in place in an effort to retain residents
over longer periods as they become  increasingly  frail. The Company continually
assesses  and  monitors  the  health  needs and  desires  of its  residents  and
periodically  adjusts the level and  frequency of care and services  provided to
such residents to meet their increasing  needs. The Company's  multi-tiered rate
structure  for the  services it  provides is based upon the acuity  level of, or
level of services needed by, each resident.  Specialized healthcare services for
those residents requiring 24-hour supervision or more extensive  assistance with
activities  of  daily  living  is  provided  to  the  residents  by  third-party
providers,  who are  reimbursed by the resident or a third-party  payor (such as
Medicare or Medicaid) or, in certain  cases,  by the staff of the facility where
permitted by state law. In order to meet the evolving  needs of its residents as
they age in place,  the Company expects to continually  expand the range of care
and services offered at its residences.  In the future, the Company may elect to
provide these services  directly using its own skilled  employees.  In the event
that a resident's acuity reaches a level such that the Company is unable to meet
such resident's needs, the Company maintains  relationships with local hospitals
and skilled nursing facilities to facilitate a transfer of the resident.

   Marketing.  The  Company's  marketing  strategy is designed to integrate  its
assisted  living  facilities  into the continuum of healthcare  providers in the
geographic  markets in which it operates.  Thus,  the Company seeks to establish
relationships  with local hospitals  (including through joint marketing efforts,
where appropriate) and home healthcare  agencies,  alliances with visiting nurse
associations  and, on a more limited basis,  priority  transfer  agreements with
local skilled nursing  facilities.  The Company believes this marketing strategy
benefits its residents as well as strengthens and expands the Company's  network
of referral sources.

   The Company begins premarketing its facilities up to six months in advance of
opening so that, by the time the facility  opens,  referral  sources,  including
professionals  in  the  community,   hospitals  and  physicians,  will  be  well
familiarized  with the care and  services  provided.  Age and  income  qualified
seniors are recipients of target  marketing  efforts as are their children.  The
Company's goal is to open a new facility with a substantial  number of residents
ready to move in. After opening,  the Company continues its marketing efforts to
attain and then maintain full occupancy.

   The Company seeks to position its facilities as the "senior  resource center"
in each of its markets;  thus when the public thinks of care and/or services for
the elderly they think of the ILC facility.  Each  facility  offers its physical
plant for classes,  meetings,  social events,  etc., to the surrounding  city in
order to foster  interdependence.  The Company  also intends to focus on selling
the care and services  component of its  facilities to those seniors who live in
the surrounding area.

   Staffing.  The Company  ensures  that all its  facilities  are  appropriately
staffed  with   well-trained   professionals   to  provide  its  residents  with
high-quality  personalized care and services.  The day-to-day operations of each
facility,  including quality of care and financial performance,  are overseen by
an Executive Director trained in the Company's  operating  philosophy,  policies
and procedures. A Healthcare Coordinator,  who is a licensed nurse, oversees the
day-to-day  care of residents  and  employees  providing  services to residents.
Other key facility  employees include a Director of Dining Services,  Activities
Director, Maintenance Director and Marketing Director.

   Administration.  The  Company's  corporate  structure  has been  designed  to
provide  appropriate  levels of support  to,  and  oversight  of, the  operating
facilities.  The Company's  philosophy  is to allow the facility  administrators
enough autonomy and flexibility to expeditiously  adjust  operations to meet the
needs of local and  changing  market  conditions  while at the same time holding
them accountable to established quality and financial performance criteria.

   In  anticipation  of its rapid  development  plans,  the  Company  has made a
significant  investment  in  recruiting  and  developing a management  team with
extensive  experience in the post-acute care, sub-acute care, long-term care and
assisted living  industries.  The Company believes that the depth and experience
of its management  team  positions the Company to effectively  manage its growth
plans and the increasing  government  regulation of assisted  living  facilities
which the Company anticipates. Addi 

                                38

<PAGE>
tionally, the Company is developing its infrastructure to manage its anticipated
growth.  Key  infrastructure   components  include  standardized   policies  and
procedures, computer systems, management information systems, staff training and
education   programs  and  staff   recruitment   and  retention   systems.   See
"Management."

   The Company  employs an  integrated  structure of  management  and  financial
systems  and  controls  in  order  to  contain  costs  and  maximize   operating
efficiency.  The Company  provides  management  support  services to each of its
residential   facilities,   including   establishment  of  operating  standards,
recruiting,  training and financial and accounting  services.  IHS has agreed to
provide resident billing,  occupancy,  accounts payable and payroll  information
services  to the  Company  until  the  Company  has  relocated  to  Florida  and
implemented its own MIS and accounting  systems,  which the Company  anticipates
will  occur in the  fourth  quarter  of 1996.  See  "Certain  Transactions."  In
addition,  the  Company  believes  it can  benefit  from  economies  of scale by
centralizing  certain  functions  such as purchases  of supplies and  equipment,
employee  training and certain sales and marketing  activities.  The Company has
established  reporting and  monitoring  systems  which allow early  detection of
deviations to allow rapid correction.

   Service Revenue Sources. The Company currently and for the foreseeable future
expects to rely primarily on its residents' ability to pay the Company's charges
from  their own or  familial  resources.  Although  care in an  assisted  living
facility is typically  less expensive than in a skilled  nursing  facility,  the
Company  believes  generally  only  seniors  with  income or assets  meeting  or
exceeding the regional  median will be able to afford to reside in the Company's
facilities.  Inflation or other  circumstances  that adversely  affect  seniors'
ability to pay for services such as those  provided by the Company could have an
adverse effect on the Company's business or operations. Furthermore, the federal
government does not currently provide any reimbursement for the type of assisted
living services provided by the Company. Although some states have reimbursement
programs in place, in many cases the level of  reimbursement  is insufficient to
cover the costs of  delivering  the  level of care  that the  Company  currently
provides. Except for the Treyton Oak Towers' assisted living facility managed by
the Company  (which is 80% private pay),  all of the revenues from the Company's
remaining  assisted  living  facilities were derived from  private-pay  sources.
There  can  be no  assurance,  however,  that  the  Company  will  continue  its
private-pay  mix or that it will not in the  future  become  more  dependent  on
governmental reimbursement programs. 

PROPERTIES

   Existing  Facilities.  The Company  currently  operates  17  assisted  living
facilities in six states,  containing  1,808 units.  Six of the  facilities  are
owned, two are leased and the remaining nine are managed. The Company's existing
facilities  consist of assisted  living  facilities,  continuing care retirement
communities,  congregate  care  facilities  and senior  housing.  Several of the
Company's   facilities   have  specially   designed  wings  for  residents  with
Alzheimer's  disease,  and several  offer adult day care  services.  The Company
believes that the physical  configuration  of its facilities,  combined with its
level of  service,  contributes  to  resident  satisfaction  and allows  seniors
residing  at the  Company's  facilities  to  maintain  an  appropriate  level of
autonomy.

(1)  Represents date operations commenced by IHS. See "Company History."

(2)  A unit is a single- or double-occupancy residential living space, typically
     an apartment or studio.

(3)  "Beds"  reflects  the actual  number of beds,  which in no event is greater
     than the  maximum  number of licensed  beds  allowed  under the  facility's
     license.

(4)  ADC = Adult Day Care;  AL =  Assisted  Living;  ALZ =  Alzheimer's/Dementia

     Senior Housing. Number of residents served in Adult Day Care is listed next
     to ADC.

        o Assisted Living Facilities are typically designed for the frail and/or
     cognitively impaired elderly, with staff personnel and programs that assist
     residents with personalized support services. Meals are served in a central
     dining room, and staff personnel provide limited medical services,  such as
     medication administration, physical rehabilitation, etc.

        o  Continuing  Care  Retirement  Communities  are  retirement  complexes
     providing a full continuum of care on a single campus, including congregate
     care  units  for  those   residents  still  able  to  adequately  care  for
     themselves,  assisted  living  facilities  for  those  residents  requiring
     assistance with  activities of daily living,  and skilled nursing units for
     residents who require full-time nursing care or supervision.

        o Congregate  Care  Facilities are typically  similar to senior housing,
     except they generally provide meals in a common dining room,  housekeeping,
     laundry, transportation and emergency response. Medical care is provided by
     third-party providers as required.

        o Senior Housing is typically a multifamily  complex  catering to senior
     citizens.  These  facilities  typically  offer  limited  services,  such as
     transportation  and  security,  and  arrange  for  healthcare  services  as
     required.

     See "--Services."

(5)  Includes 21 skilled nursing beds.

(6)  The Company owns a condominium  interest in the assisted living and related
     services portion of this facility;  the remaining  condominium  interest in
     the facility,  which consists of a skilled  nursing  facility,  is owned by
     IHS. The Company is  prohibited  from  including a  segregated  and secured
     Alzheimer's ward in its portion of these  facilities.  IHS provides certain
     services to these  facilities.  The Company cannot transfer its condominium
     interest  without the prior  consent of IHS.  The IHS facility in which the
     Treemont  facility is located is subject to a mortgage.  Should IHS default
     on its  obligations  under the mortgage,  the lender could foreclose on the
     mortgage,  which could materially  adversely affect the Company's business,
     results of operations and financial condition. See "Certain Transactions."

(7)  Includes 60 skilled nursing beds.

(8)  IHS managed the facility  from  December  1992 until its purchase by IHS in
     March 1994.

(9)  IHS  managed  the  facility  from April 1995 until its  purchase  by IHS in
     January 1996.

   Management  Agreements.  The Company  currently  manages nine assisted living
facilities  with an  aggregate  of 697 units.  The  Company is  responsible  for
providing all personnel, marketing, nursing, resident care and dietary services,
accounting and data processing reports and services for these facilities


                                40
<PAGE>
at the facility owner's expense. The facility owner is also obligated to pay for
all required capital  expenditures.  The Company manages these facilities in the
same manner as the facilities it owns or leases,  and provides the same assisted
living services as are provided in its owned or leased facilities.

   The Company receives a management fee for its services which generally ranges
from  4% to 5% of  gross  revenues  of the  assisted  living  facility.  Certain
management  agreements  also provide the Company with an incentive  fee based on
the  amount of the  facility's  operating  income  that  exceeds  a target.  The
management  agreements generally have an initial term of one to five years, with
the right to renew under certain circumstances. The management agreements expire
at various times  between  October 1996 and November  2000,  although all can be
terminated  earlier  under  certain  circumstances.  Certain  of the  management
agreement's  provide the Company with a right of first refusal in respect of the
sale of each managed facility.  The Company believes that management  agreements
are a cost-effective  way to test new markets without having to make the capital
outlay necessary to acquire or develop a facility.

   Proposed Acquisitions.  The Company has entered into definitive agreements to
acquire   ownership  of,  or  leasehold   interests  in,  four  assisted  living
facilities.  The  table  below  summarizes  certain  information  regarding  the
proposed  acquisitions.  There can be no assurance that these  acquisitions will
close as scheduled or at all.

(6)  15 year lease at $287,500 per year,  subject to adjustment based on a price
     index.  The  Company  expects to lease this  facility  upon  completion  of
     construction, which is currently scheduled to occur in July 1996.

(7)  Purchase price of  $12,150,000.  This facility  includes a 100-bed  nursing
     facility.  This  acquisition  is  expected to close  simultaneous  with the
     closing of this offering.


   Development.  The  Company  intends to  develop  assisted  living  facilities
generally  ranging in size from 32 to 80 units,  consisting  of an  aggregate of
approximately 23,000 to 54,000 square feet, which are located on sites typically
ranging  from 2.5 to 5 acres.  Unit size is  expected  to range  from 325 to 500
square feet.  The Company  estimates  that the  development  cost of most of its
assisted  living  facilities will generally be  approximately  $72,000 per unit,
depending on local variations in land and  construction  costs. The Company owns
two development  sites and has acquired options to purchase 35 development sites
for an  aggregate  of $9.0  million.  The  Company  is  currently  pursuing  the
development of assisted  living  facilities on each of these sites,  of which 25
are scheduled to open in 1997.  Because,  however,  of uncertainties  associated
with  development  of assisted  living  facilities,  including  zoning and other
governmental  limitations,  there can be no  assurance  that the Company will be
successful in meeting scheduled  opening dates for these  facilities.  See "Risk
Factors  --  Limited  Development   Experience;   Development  Delays  and  Cost
Overruns."

(1)  A unit is a single- or double-occupancy residential living space, typically
     an apartment or studio.

(2)  "Beds"  reflects  the actual  number of beds,  which in no event is greater

     license.

(3)  AL = Assisted  Living;  ALZ =  Alzheimer's/Dementia  Care; and SH = Seniors
     Apartments and Housing. See "-- Services."

(4)  "Development"  means that  development  activities,  such as site  surveys,
     preparation of  architectural  plans or initiation of zoning changes,  have
     commenced (but construction has not commenced).  "Construction"  means that
     construction activities,

                                42
<PAGE>
     such as  ground-breaking  activities,  exterior  construction  or  interior
     build-out, have commenced.  "Zoning" means that the zoning process has been
     completed or is not applicable.

(5)  The Company expects to finance these developments through sale/leaseback or
     mortgage financing.

(6)  The Company expects to lease these facilities from the developer.

   The Company currently has relationships with three developers  relating to 32
of the 35 assisted living facilities  currently under development.  Two of these
developers are developing,  in the aggregate, 26 facilities on a turn-key basis,
of which 21 facilities  are scheduled to open in 1997.  Pursuant to the terms of
the  arrangements,  the developer will provide all necessary  site  procurement,
design, construction, construction oversight and licensure services. The Company
intends to finance the 16 facilities being developed by one developer,  of which
11 are  scheduled  to open in 1997,  through  sale/leaseback  arrangements  with
several real estate  investment trusts or mortgage  financing.  The Company will
pay this  developer a fixed  percentage of the building  cost.  The Company will
lease the ten facilities  being developed by the other  developer,  all of which
are scheduled to open in 1997,  pursuant to ten year leases with three five-year
renewal options,  and the right to purchase each facility at five year intervals
for a purchase  price equal to the greater of its then fair market value or $2.1
million.  The  Company  will make  non-refundable  purchase  option  deposits of
$100,000 per facility,  and has agreed to provide the developer with an $800,000
working  capital  line  of  credit  that is due on  demand  and  secured  by the
developer's interest in all documentation, permits, licenses and the land sites.
The Company has engaged a third  developer  to provide site  selection,  zoning,
permitting and site adaptation  services for six  facilities,  for which it will
receive a fixed  percentage of the building  cost.  The Company has provided the
president of this developer with a $750,000  working capital line of credit that
is due on demand and secured by the developer's  interest in all  documentation,
permits and  licenses  and land  contracts  relating to the  developments  it is
overseeing on behalf of the Company.  The Company has contracted with one of its
other  developers to provide design,  construction,  construction  oversight and
licensure  services for these  facilities.  The Company intends to finance these
facilities  through  sale/leaseback  arrangements  with real  estate  investment
trusts or with mortgage financing.  See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial   Condition  and  Results  of  Operations  --  Liquidity  and  Capital
Resources."

   The Company expects that the average construction time for a typical assisted
living  facility  will be  approximately  six to nine  months,  depending on the
number of units.  Once a site is developed,  the Company  estimates that it will
take  approximately six to 12 months for the assisted living facility to achieve
a stabilized level of occupancy. 

COMPETITION

   The senior housing and healthcare  industries are highly  competitive and the
Company expects that the assisted living business in particular will become more
competitive in the future.  The Company will continue to face  competition  from
numerous local, regional and national providers of assisted living and long-term
care  whose  facilities  and  services  are on  either  end of the  senior  care
continuum.  The Company will compete with such facilities primarily on the bases
of cost,  quality of care, array of services  provided and physician  referrals.
The Company will also compete with companies  providing  home based  healthcare,
and even  family  members,  based on those  factors  as well as the  reputation,
geographic  location,  physical appearance of facilities and family preferences.
Some of the  Company's  competitors  operate  on a  not-for-profit  basis  or as
charitable  organizations,  while others have, or may obtain,  greater financial
resources than those of the Company.  However,  the Company anticipates that its
most  significant  competition  will come from other assisted living  facilities
within the same geographic area as the Company's facilities because management's
experience  indicates  that  senior  citizens  frequently  elect  to  move  into
facilities near their homes. 

   Moreover,  in the  implementation  of the Company's  expansion  program,  the
Company  expects to face  competition  for the  acquisition  and  development of
assisted  living  facilities.  Some  of  the  Company's  current  and  potential
competitors are significantly  larger or have, or may obtain,  greater financial
resources  than those of the  Company.  Consequently,  there can be no assurance
that the Company will not

encounter  increased  competition in the future which could limit its ability to
attract  residents  or expand its  business  and could  have a material  adverse
effect  on  the  Company's  financial  condition,   results  of  operations  and
prospects. See "Risk Factors -- Competition."

GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION

   The Company's  assisted  living  facilities are subject to varying degrees of
regulation and licensing by local and state health and social  service  agencies
and other regulatory  authorities specific to their location.  While regulations
and licensing  requirements  often vary  significantly from state to state, they
typically  address,  among  other  things:  personnel  education,  training  and
records; facility services,  including administration of medication,  assistance
with  self-administration  of medication and limited nursing services;  physical
plant  specifications;  furnishing  of  resident  units;  food and  housekeeping
services;  emergency evacuation plans; and resident rights and responsibilities.
In several states assisted living  facilities also require a certificate of need
before the facility can be opened.  In most states,  assisted living  facilities
also are subject to state or local building  codes,  fire codes and food service
licensure  or  certification  requirements.  Like other  healthcare  facilities,
assisted  living  facilities  are subject to periodic  survey or  inspection  by
governmental  authorities.  The  Company's  success  will  depend in part on its
ability to satisfy such regulations and requirements and to acquire and maintain
any required licenses. The Company's operations could also be adversely affected
by, among other things,  regulatory  developments such as mandatory increases in
the scope and quality of care afforded  residents and revisions in licensing and
certification standards.

   Certain  states  provide  for  Medicaid  reimbursement  for  assisted  living
services  pursuant  to  Medicaid  Waiver  Programs   permitted  by  the  Federal
government. In the event the Company elects to provide services in states with a
Medicaid  Waiver  Program,  the Company may then elect to become  certified as a
Medicaid provider in such states.  The Company is subject to certain federal and
state laws that regulate  relationships among providers of healthcare  services.
These laws include the Medicare and  Medicaid  anti-kickback  provisions  of the
Social  Security Act, which prohibit the payment or receipt of any  remuneration
by anyone in return for,  or to induce,  the  referral of patients  for items or
services  that are paid for, in whole or in part,  by Medicare  or  Medicaid.  A
violation  of these  provisions  may result in civil or criminal  penalties  for
individuals or entities and/or exclusion from  participation in the Medicare and
Medicaid  programs.  The  Company  intends to comply with all  applicable  laws,
including  the fraud and abuse laws;  however,  there can be no  assurance  that
administrative  or judicial  interpretation of existing laws or regulations will
not in the future have a material  adverse  impact on the  Company's  results of
operations  or  financial   condition.   See  "Risk   Factors  --   Governmental
Regulation."

   The Company's  failure to comply with such  regulations  could jeopardize its
reimbursement  payments for any affected residents and could result in fines and
the  suspension  or failure to renew the  Company's  operating  licenses.  These
actions  could have a material  adverse  effect on the  Company's  business  and
operating  results and on its ability to develop and acquire  properties  in the
future.  The  Company  believes  that it is  currently  in  compliance  with all
material  applicable  regulations and requirements  with respect to its assisted
living facilities.

   Twelve of the Company's 81 skilled  nursing beds are  currently  certified to
receive  benefits  as a skilled  nursing  facility  provided  under  the  Health
Insurance  for the Aged and Disabled Act (commonly  referred to as  "Medicare"),
and  substantially  all are also certified  under programs  administered  by the
various  states using federal and state funds to provide  medical  assistance to
qualifying  needy   individuals   ("Medicaid").   Both  initial  and  continuing
qualification of a skilled nursing care facility to participate in such programs
depend  upon  many  factors  including,  among  other  things,   accommodations,
equipment,  services, patient care, safety, personnel, physical environment, and
adequate policies, procedures and controls.

   Under the Medicare program, the federal government pays the reasonable direct
and  indirect  allowable  costs  (including  depreciation  and  interest) of the
services furnished.  Under the various Medicaid programs, the federal government
supplements funds provided by the participating states for medical assistance to
qualifying  needy  individuals.  The programs are administered by the applicable
state welfare or social service  agencies.  Although Medicaid programs vary from
state to state, typically they provide

                                44
<PAGE>
for the payment of certain expenses, up to established limits. Funds received by
the Company under Medicare and Medicaid are subject to audit with respect to the
proper  preparation  of annual cost reports upon which  reimbursement  is based.
Such  audits  can  result in  retroactive  adjustments  of  revenue  from  these
programs,  resulting  in either  amounts due to the  government  agency from the
Company or amounts due the Company from the government agency.

   Both the  Medicare  and  Medicaid  programs  are  subject  to  statutory  and
regulatory   changes,   administrative   rulings,   interpretations   of  policy
determinations by insurance  companies acting as Medicare fiscal  intermediaries
and governmental funding  restrictions,  all of which may materially increase or
decrease  the rate of program  payments to  healthcare  facilities.  Since 1985,
Congress has  consistently  attempted to limited the growth of federal  spending
under the Medicare and Medicaid  programs.  In addition,  a number of healthcare
reform  proposals  have been  introduced in Congress in recent years.  It is not
clear at this time what proposals,  if any, will be adopted or, if adopted, what
effect such proposals would have on the Company's business. The Company can give
no assurance  that  payments  under such programs will in the future remain at a
level  comparable  to the present  level or be sufficient to cover the operating
and fixed costs  allocable to such  patients.  Changes in  reimbursement  levels
under  Medicare or Medicaid and changes in applicable  governmental  regulations
could significantly affect the Company's results of operations.  It is uncertain
at this time  whether  legislation  on  healthcare  reform  will  ultimately  be
implemented or whether other changes in the  administration or interpretation of
governmental  healthcare  programs  will occur.  There can be no assurance  that
future  healthcare  legislation  or  other  changes  in  the  administration  or
interpretation  of  governmental  healthcare  programs  will not have an adverse
effect on the results of operations of the Company.  The Company  cannot at this
time predict whether any healthcare  reform  legislation  will be adopted or, if
adopted and implemented,  what effect, if any, such legislation will have on the
Company. 

   Under the  Americans  with  Disabilities  Act of 1990,  all  places of public
accommodation  are  required to meet  certain  federal  requirements  related to
access and use by disabled persons.  A number of additional  federal,  state and
local laws exist which also may require  modifications  to existing  and planned
properties to create access to the  properties  by disabled  persons.  While the
Company  believes that its  properties  are  substantially  in  compliance  with
present  requirements  or are exempt  therefrom,  if required  changes involve a
greater expenditure than anticipated or must be made on a more accelerated basis
than  anticipated,  additional  costs would be incurred by the Company.  Further
legislation may impose additional burdens or restrictions with respect to access
by disabled persons, the costs of compliance with which could be substantial.

   The  Company  and its  activities  are  subject to zoning and other state and
local government regulations. Zoning variances or use permits are often required
for construction.  Severely restrictive  regulations could impair the ability of
the Company to open additional  residences at desired  locations or could result
in costly delays, which could adversely affect the Company's growth strategy and
results of  operations.  See "Risk  Factors -- Limited  Development  Experience;
Development   Delays  and  Cost  Overruns,"  "--  Business   Strategy"  and  "--
Development and Acquisition." 


EMPLOYEES

   As of May 31, 1996,  the Company had 473  employees,  including 261 full-time
employees, of which 12 were employed at the Company's headquarters.  None of the
Company's employees are currently  represented by a labor union, and the Company
is not aware of any union-organizing  activity among its employees.  The Company
believes that its relationship with its employees is good.

   Although  the  Company  believes  it is able  to  employ  sufficient  skilled
personnel to staff the facilities it operates or manages,  a shortage of skilled
personnel in any of the geographic  areas in which it operates  could  adversely
affect the  Company's  ability to recruit  and retain  qualified  employees  and
control  its  operating  expenses.  See "Risk  Factors --  Dependence  on Senior
Management and Skilled Personnel" and "-- Staffing and Labor Costs."

EXECUTIVE OFFICES

   The Company's  executive office is located in Owings Mills,  Maryland,  where
the Company leases space from IHS. The Company will relocate to Bonita  Springs,
Florida in August 1996, where it has leased approximately 20,000 square feet.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

   The Company is involved in various  lawsuits and claims arising in the normal
course of business.  In the opinion of management  of the Company,  although the
outcomes of these suits and claims are  uncertain,  in the aggregate they should
not  have a  material  adverse  effect  on  the  Company's  business,  financial
condition and results of operations.

Neither  Mr.  Poole nor Mr.  Shatterly,  the  other  executive  officers  of the
Company,  was  employed  by IHS or the  Company  during  1995.  For  information
regarding the 1996  compensation  for Messrs.  Komp, Poole and Shatterly and Ms.
Johnson see "--Employment Agreements." 


EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

   The Company is a party to Employment Agreements (the "Employment Agreements")
with each of Edward J. Komp, Kayda Johnson,  John B. Poole and Kyle D. Shatterly
to serve as President  and Chief  Executive  Officer,  Senior Vice  President --
Chief Operating  Officer,  Senior Vice President -- Chief Financial  Officer and
Senior Vice President -- Acquisitions and Development,  respectively. Subject to
earlier  termination,  as discussed  below,  each Employment  Agreement is for a
three-year term commencing as of May 1, 1996; however, the Employment Agreements
of Mr. Komp and Ms. Johnson  provide for automatic  one-year  extensions on each
anniversary  thereof  unless 120 days' notice of  nonrenewal  is given by either
party prior to such  anniversary  date.  The current  annual base salary  ("Base
Salary") for each executive is: $285,000 for Mr. Komp; $195,000 for Ms. Johnson;
$150,000  for Mr.  Poole;  and  $135,000  for  Mr.  Shatterly.  Each  Employment
Agreement  provides that the executive's Base Salary is to be increased annually
by a percentage  equal to the  percentage  increase in the Consumer  Price Index
("CPI")  and,  with  respect  to each  executive  other than Mr.  Komp,  by such
additional  amounts as may be  determined  in the  discretion  of the  Company's
President  or Chief  Executive  Officer.  The  Base  Salary  of Mr.  Komp may be
increased in the  discretion of the Board of Directors.  Each executive may also
receive  annual cash bonuses in an amount  determined  in the  discretion of the
Board

                                49
of Directors;  provided, however,  if the Company meets or exceeds  performance
goals  specified by the Board of Directors,  each executive will receive a bonus
of not  less  than  30% of Base  Salary  (50%  in the  case  of Mr.  Komp).  Mr.
Shatterly's  and Mr.  Poole's 1996 bonus will be prorated from the date of their
respective Employment Agreements.

   Pursuant to the  Employment  Agreements,  each  executive  is entitled to (a)
comprehensive  individual and dependent health insurance,  (b) Company paid life
insurance  coverage  in the amount of  $500,000  ($1,000,000  in the case of Mr.
Komp) and accidental death and dismemberment insurance, (c) disability insurance
coverage in a monthly  benefit amount equal to the sum of the  executive's  Base
Salary plus a "Bonus Amount" (as defined in the Employment  Agreements),  (d) an
annual automobile allowance of $9,600, subject to increase based on the CPI, (e)
a Company paid  personal  umbrella  (excess)  insurance  policy in the amount of
$2,000,000  ($5,000,000  in the case of Mr. Komp),  and (f)  participate  in any
executive   retirement  program   established  and  maintained  by  the  Company
(collectively,  the  "Executive  Benefits").  In  addition,  each  executive  is
entitled  to  receive  equity-based   compensation  in  the  discretion  of  the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Company has also agreed to
reimburse each executive (other than Ms. Johnson) for certain expenses  incurred
as a result of their relocation to Florida.

   The  Employment  Agreement with Mr. Komp may be terminated by either party on
90 days' notice.  Upon termination of Mr. Komp's  employment  without Cause, the
expiration of, or the Company's failure to renew, the Employment  Agreement,  or
the  resignation  of Mr. Komp for Good Reason,  Mr. Komp will be entitled to the
sum of (1)  the  remaining  Base  Salary  due  under  his  Employment  Agreement
(generally three years unless prior notice of nonrenewal has been given) and (2)
the higher of his bonus in the year of  termination  or in the previous year. In
addition,  Mr. Komp will  continue to receive his  existing  level of  Executive
Benefits or the level of Executive  Benefits received during the preceding year,
whichever is greater,  throughout the severance  period  (generally three years)
and all stock options,  other equity-based rights and rights under the Company's
Supplemental  Deferred  Compensation  Plan  ("SERP")  then held by Mr. Komp will
become fully vested.  The  Employment  Agreements  with Ms.  Johnson and Messrs.
Poole and  Shatterly  may each be terminated by either party on 90 days' notice.
Upon termination without Cause, the expiration of the Employment  Agreement,  or
the  resignation  of the  executive  for  Good  Reason,  or,  in the case of Ms.
Johnson,  the failure to renew the Employment  Agreement,  the executive will be
entitled  to a payment of one and  one-half  times the sum of (1) the greater of
his or her salary in the year of termination or in the previous year and (2) the
higher of his or her bonus in the year of  termination  or in the previous year.
In addition,  for a period of 18 months following such termination,  each of Ms.
Johnson and Messrs.  Poole and Shatterly will continue to receive their existing
level of Executive  Benefits or the level of Executive  Benefits received during
the  preceding  year,  whichever  is  greater,  and  all  stock  options,  other
equity-based  rights and SERP rights then held by Ms. Johnson and Messrs.  Poole
or Shatterly, respectively, will become fully vested.

   For purposes of each of the Employment Agreements,  "Cause" is defined as (i)
material failure to perform duties,  (ii) material breach of  confidentiality or
noncompete provisions,  (iii) conviction of a felony, or (iv) theft, larceny, or
embezzlement  of Company  property.  "Good  Reason" is defined as (i) a material
breach of the  agreement  by the Company or (ii)  resignation  of the  executive
within one year after a change in control.  A "change of control" of the Company
is deemed to occur  under the  Employment  Agreements,  in  general:  (i) when a
person, other than the executive or a group controlled by the executive, becomes
the "beneficial owner" of 20% or more of the Company's Common Stock, (ii) in the
event of  certain  mergers  or  consolidations  in which the  Company is not the
surviving  entity,  (iii)  in the  event  of the  sale,  lease  or  transfer  of
substantially  all of the Company's  assets or the liquidation of the Company or
(iv) if, within any 24-month  period,  the persons who were members of the Board
of Directors at the  beginning of such period cease to  constitute a majority of
the Board of Directors of the Company or any successor entity.

   Each Employment Agreement contains covenants by the executive to, among other
things,  maintain the confidentiality of trade secrets of the Company during the
term of their Employment Agreements and thereafter,  as well as covenants not to
solicit  employees  or  customers  of the Company and not to be employed or have
certain other  relationships with entities which are directly in the business of


                                50

owning,  operating or managing  facilities  which compete with any such facility
then operated by the Company or any of its subsidiaries during the term of their
Employment Agreement and for a 12 month period thereafter.


STOCK OPTIONS

   Stock  Incentive Plan. The Company adopted the Stock Incentive Plan to enable
the  Company  and its  stockholders  to secure  the  benefits  of  Common  Stock
ownership  by key  personnel  of the  Company  and its  subsidiaries.  The Stock
Incentive  Plan  permits the  issuance of  restricted  stock and the granting of
options to purchase an aggregate of 594,150 shares of the Company's Common Stock
to key employees of and  consultants to the Company or any of its  subsidiaries.
Directors  who perform  services for the Company  solely in their  capacities as
directors  are not  eligible to receive  shares of  restricted  stock or options
under the Stock  Incentive  Plan. The number of shares which may be issued under
the Stock  Incentive Plan is subject to adjustment in proportion to any increase
or  decrease in the number of issued  shares of Common  Stock  resulting  from a
stock  dividend,  split-up,  consolidation  or any similar  capital  adjustment.
Options  granted under the Stock  Incentive Plan may be either  incentive  stock
options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended ("ISOs"), or options which do not qualify as ISOs ("non-ISOs").

   The Stock Incentive Plan will be administered by the  Compensation  Committee
of the Board of Directors  (the  "Committee").  No member of the  Committee  may
receive an option or a  restricted  stock award under the Stock  Incentive  Plan
within one year prior to his or her becoming a member of the Committee or at any
time  while he or she is serving  as a member of the  Committee.  Subject to the
provisions  of the Stock  Incentive  Plan,  the  Committee  has the authority to
determine the  individuals  to whom shares of restricted  stock or stock options
will be granted, the number of shares to be issued or covered by each restricted
stock or option  grant,  the purchase or option price,  the type of option,  the
option period, the vesting restrictions or repurchase restrictions, if any, with
respect to the  restricted  stock or exercise  of the option,  the terms for the
payment  of the  restricted  stock or the  option  price  and  other  terms  and
conditions. Payment for shares under a restricted stock award or pursuant to the
exercise of an option may be made (as determined by the Committee) in cash or by
shares of Common Stock.

   The exercise  price for shares covered by an ISO may not be less than 100% of
the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant (110% in the case
of a grant  to an  employee  who  owns  stock  possessing  more  than 10% of the
combined  voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any  subsidiary
entitled  to vote (a "10%  Stockholder").  The  purchase  price  for  shares of
restricted  stock and the exercise price for shares covered by a non-ISO may not
be less than the par value of the Common Stock at the date of grant. All options
must expire no later than ten years (five years in the case of an ISO granted to
a 10%  Stockholder)  from the date of  grant.  The  Stock  Incentive  Plan  also
provides that the options will become  exercisable  and restricted  stock awards
will become fully  vested upon a change in control of the Company.  A "change in
control of the Company" is deemed to occur if (i) there shall be consummated (x)
any  consolidation  or merger of the  Company  in which the  Company  is not the
continuing  or  surviving  entity or pursuant to which  shares of the  Company's
Common Stock would be converted into cash,  securities or other property,  other
than a merger of the Company in which the holders of the Company's  Common Stock
immediately prior to the merger have the same proportionate  ownership of common
stock of the  surviving  corporation  immediately  after the merger,  or (y) any
sale,  lease,  exchange or other  transfer  (in one  transaction  or a series of
related  transactions)  of all,  or  substantially  all,  of the  assets  of the
Company,  or (ii) the  stockholders  of the  Company  shall  approve any plan or
proposal for liquidation or dissolution of the Company,  or (iii) any person (as
such term is used in  Sections  13(d) and  14(d)(2) of the  Exchange  Act) shall
become the beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange
Act)  of 30% or  more of the  Company's  outstanding  Common  Stock  other  than
pursuant to a plan or  arrangement  entered into by such person and the Company,
or (iv)  during  any period of two  consecutive  years,  individuals  who at the
beginning of such period  constitute  the entire Board of Directors  shall cease
for any reason to  constitute a majority  thereof  unless the  election,  or the
nomination for election by the Company's stockholders,  of each new director was
approved by a vote of at least  two-thirds  (2/3) of the directors then still in
office who were directors at

                                51
<PAGE>
the beginning of the period.  In general,  no option may be exercised  more than
three months after the  termination of the  optionee's  service with the Company
and its  subsidiaries.  However,  the  three-month  period is extended to twelve
months if the optionee's  service is terminated by reason of disability or death
and the Committee may in its discretion extend the period of exercise  following
termination  of  employment.  No  individual  may be  granted  ISOs that  become
exercisable  for the first time in any  calendar  year for Common Stock having a
fair market value at the time of grant in excess of $100,000.  In addition,  the
maximum  option  grant  which may be made to an  employee  of the  Company  in a
calendar year shall not cover more than 500,000 shares.

   Options may not be transferred during the lifetime of an optionee. Subject to
certain  limitations  set forth in the Stock  Incentive Plan and applicable law,
the Board of Directors may amend or terminate the Stock  Incentive  Plan. In any
event,  no  restricted  stock awards or stock  options may be granted  under the
Stock Incentive Plan after May 24, 2006.

   On June 10, 1996, each of Ms. Johnson and Messrs.  Komp,  Poole and Shatterly
was granted an option to purchase 100,000 shares, 200,000 shares, 100,000 shares
and 70,000 shares, respectively,  of Common Stock at an exercise price per share
equal to the initial  public  offering price set forth on the cover page of this
Prospectus.  The options become  exercisable  in five equal annual  installments
commencing  June 10, 1997. The options expire on the earlier of June 10, 2006 or
three  months  after the  optionee  ceases to be an employee of the Company (one
year if by reason of death or disability).

   Non-Plan Director Options. On June 10, 1996, each of Ms. Merritt,  Dr. Elkins
and Messrs.  Bared,  Cirka and Laverty was granted an option to purchase  20,000
shares,  300,000  shares,  35,000  shares,  125,000  shares and  35,000  shares,
respectively,  of Common  Stock at an  exercise  price  per  share  equal to the
initial public  offering  price set forth on the cover page of this  Prospectus.
These options become exercisable in three equal annual installments,  commencing
June 10, 1997,  although they will become immediately  exercisable upon a change
in control of the Company (as defined below under  "Non-Employee  Director Stock
Option Plan",  except that the options  granted to Dr. Elkins and Mr. Cirka will
not become immediately exercisable upon a change in control of the Company where
the  company  acquiring  the Company is IHS) or the death or  disability  of the
optionee.  The  options  expire on the  earlier to occur of June 10, 2006 or six
months  after the  optionee  ceases to be a  director  (one year if by reason of
death or disability).

   Non-Employee  Director  Stock  Option  Plan.  The  Company  has  adopted  the
Non-Employee  Director Stock Option Plan (the  "Non-Employee  Director Plan") to
promote the Company's  interests by attracting  and  retaining  highly  skilled,
experienced  and   knowledgeable   non-employee   directors.   Pursuant  to  the
Non-Employee  Director  Plan,  each  non-employee  director of the Company  will
automatically  receive on the date of each annual meeting of stockholders of the
Company following completion of this offering at which such person is elected or
re-elected as a director (the "Grant Date") an option to purchase  10,000 shares
of the Company's Common Stock (the "Option") at a per share exercise price equal
to the fair  market  value of the  Common  Stock on the Grant  Date.  A total of
100,000 shares are reserved for issuance under the  Non-Employee  Director Plan.
The number of shares which may be issued under the Non-Employee Director Plan is
subject to  adjustment  to reflect  any  increase  or  decrease in the number of
shares  of  Common  Stock   resulting  from  a  stock  split,   stock  dividend,
consolidation or other similar capital adjustment.

   Except as set forth below,  Options become  exercisable in three equal annual
installments commencing on the first anniversary of the Grant Date. In the event
that a director ceases to be a director of the Company, such person may exercise
the Option if it is exercisable by him at the time he ceases to be a director of
the Company,  within six months after the date he ceases to be a director of the
Company  (one  year  if he  ceases  to be a  director  by  reason  of  death  or
disability). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a "Change of Control of
the  Company"  shall  occur,  then all options  granted  under the  Non-Employee
Director Plan which are then outstanding shall immediately become exercisable. A
"Change in Control of the  Company"  shall be deemed to occur if (i) there shall
be  consummated  (x) any  consolidation  or merger of the  Company  in which the
Company is not the  continuing  or  surviving  corporation  or pursuant to which
shares of the Company's Common Stock would be converted into 

                                52
<PAGE>
cash, securities or other property,  other than a merger of the Company in which
the holders of the Company's Common Stock  immediately  prior to the merger have
the same  proportionate  ownership of common stock of the surviving  corporation
immediately after the merger, or (y) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer
(in  one  transaction  or  a  series  of  related   transactions)   of  all,  or
substantially all, of the assets of the Company, or (ii) the stockholders of the
Company shall approve any plan or proposal for liquidation or dissolution of the
Company, or (iii) any person (as such term is used in Section 13(d) and 14(d)(2)
of the Exchange Act),  shall become the beneficial  owner (within the meaning of
Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of 30% or more of the  Company's  outstanding
Common Stock other than pursuant to a plan or  arrangement  entered into by such
person and the  Company,  or (iv)  during any period of two  consecutive  years,
individuals  who at the beginning of such period  constitute the entire Board of
Directors shall cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof unless the
election, or the nomination for election by the Company's stockholders,  of each
director was approved by a vote of at least  two-thirds  of the  directors  then
still in office who were  directors  at the  beginning  of the  period.  Options
granted under the Non-Employee Director Plan shall have a term of ten years from
the Grant Date and shall not be "incentive  stock options" within the meaning of
Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

   The Non-Employee Director Plan will be administered by the Board of Directors
of  the  Company.   However,  the  Non-Employee  Director  Plan  prescribes  the
individuals  who would be awarded  Options,  the number of shares subject to the
Options,  and the terms and conditions of each award. The Board of Directors may
at any time terminate the  Non-Employee  Director Plan and may from time to time
alter or amend the Non-Employee Director Plan or any part thereof, provided that
the  rights  of a  director  with  respect  to an option  granted  prior to such
termination, alteration or amendment may not be impaired.

   Option Grants.  The following  table sets forth certain  summary  information
concerning individual grants of stock options to each of the Company's executive
officers. No stock options were granted in the year ended December 31, 1995.

(1)  The  exercise  price per share of all options  granted  will be the initial

     10, 1997 and as to an additional 20% on each successive June 10.

(2)  These amounts  represent  assumed rates of appreciation in the price of the
     Company's  Common Stock during the terms of the options in accordance  with
     rates specified in applicable federal securities regulations. Actual gains,
     if any, on stock  option  exercises  will depend on the future price of the
     Common   Stock  and  overall   stock   market   conditions.   There  is  no
     representation that the rates of appreciation  reflected in this table will
     be achieved.



SUPPLEMENTAL DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

   The  Company's  Supplemental  Deferred  Compensation  Plan (the "SERP") is an
unfunded  deferred  compensation  plan which offers certain  executive and other
highly  compensated  employees an  opportunity to defer  compensation  until the
termination of their  employment with the Company.  Contributions to the SERP by
the Company,  which vest over a period of ten years, are determined by the Board
upon recommendation of the Committee and are allocated to participants' accounts
on a pro rata basis based

                                53
<PAGE>
upon  the  compensation  of all  participants  in the  SERP  in  the  year  such
contribution is made. In addition, a participant may elect to defer a portion of
his or her  compensation  and have that amount added to his or her SERP account.
Participants may direct the investments in their  respective SERP accounts.  All
participant  contributions  and the  earnings  thereon,  plus the  participant's
vested  portion  of  the  Company's   contribution  account,  are  payable  upon
termination of a participant's employment with the Company.


COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

   The Compensation Committee currently consists of Luis Bared, Charles A.
Laverty and Lisa Merritt. Each of Messrs. Bared and Laverty and Ms. Merritt
has received options to purchase shares of Common Stock. See "-- Stock
Options -- Non-Plan Director Options."


                             CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

   The Company was formed in November 1995 as a  wholly-owned  subsidiary of IHS
to operate the assisted living and other senior housing facilities owned, leased
and managed by IHS. Upon the Company's formation, IHS transferred to the Company
as a capital  contribution  its  ownership  interest  in The  Waterside  and The
Homestead  facilities,  sublet to the  Company  The  Shores and  Cheyenne  Place
facilities,  and leased to the Company the assisted living and related  portions
of the  Treemont and West Palm Beach  facilities.  IHS also  transferred  to the
Company agreements to manage nine facilities.

   To date IHS has provided all required  financial,  legal,  accounting,  human
resources and information systems services to the Company, and has satisfied all
the Company's capital  requirements in excess of internally generated funds. IHS
has charged the  Company a flat fee of 6% of total  revenue for these  services.
The Company  estimates  that the cost of  obtaining  these  services  from third
parties would have been  significantly  higher than the fees charged by IHS. IHS
has agreed to provide certain  administrative  services to the Company after the
closing  of this  offering  until the  Company  has  relocated  to  Florida  and
implemented its own MIS and accounting  systems,  which the Company  anticipates
will occur in the fourth quarter of 1996. See "Business -- Operations."

   Effective  June 1,  1996,  IHS  contributed  to the  capital  of the  Company
condominium  interests in the assisted  living  portions of the West Palm Beach,
Treemont and Vintage  facilities  to the Company as a  contribution  to capital.
These  assisted  living  facilities are  immediately  adjacent to or are located
within the same  building and share common areas with an existing IHS  facility.
Prior to the  contribution  of  condominium  interests  in the  assisted  living
portion of each of these facilities, a condominium association was created and a
Declaration of Condominium was filed that governs these facilities.  The Company
and IHS are the only members of these  condominium  associations,  and share the
cost of maintaining the common areas of such facilities.

   In connection with the Company's  operation of the West Palm Beach,  Treemont
and Vintage assisted living facilities,  the Company and an operating subsidiary
of IHS have  entered  into  Services  Agreements  whereby IHS  provides  certain
facility services to the Company. Pursuant to the individual Service Agreements,
IHS provides the Company (and its residents) with a combination of the following
services:  building  maintenance services (West Palm Beach facility only: $3,200
monthly fee paid to IHS);  housekeeping  (West Palm Beach facility only:  $2,000
monthly fee paid to IHS); laundry services (all facilities: monthly fees paid to
IHS range from $850 to $3,300);  emergency call services (all  facilities:  $100
monthly  fee  paid  to  IHS);  and  nutrition  (resident  meals)  services  (all
facilities:  fees paid to IHS equal $8.00  (Vintage) and $10.00 (West Palm Beach
and Treemont)  per  resident/per  day).  In addition,  pursuant to each Services
Agreement,  the  Company  pays IHS a monthly  general  building  management  and
landscaping  services fee equal to $4,583  (Vintage),  $14,166 (West Palm Beach)
and $31,083 (Treemont),  respectively.  In connection with the administration of
the Vintage  facility,  IHS and the Company  share the services of the executive
director and the Company pays IHS an amount equal to thirty percent (30%) of the
total costs and expenses  (including all wages,  benefits,  payroll  taxes,  and
workers' compensation premiums) of the executive director of the facility. Other
than the general building  management and landscaping  services fee, each of the
above described fees are subject to an annual

                                54

<PAGE>
increase equal to the Consumer Price Index for All Urban  Consumers--All  Cities
(not to exceed  4%).  Each  Service  Agreement  has a one-year  term and will be
automatically renewed for successive one-year terms unless otherwise terminated.
Each Service  Agreement  may be terminated by either party upon 180 days' notice
or 30 days  following the delivery of a notice of material  breach if the breach
is not cured to the satisfaction of the non-breaching party.

   The  Company  and IHS are parties to an  Administrative  Services  Agreement,
dated effective June 1, 1996,  pursuant to which IHS provides  accounts payable,
accounts  receivable,  corporate  accounting,  payroll and payroll tax services,
human resources support and risk management support services (the "Services") to
the Company. The agreement allows the Company to terminate,  upon 30 days' prior
notice,  any portion of the Services  prior to the  expiration of the agreement.
The Company  will pay IHS a monthly  fee equal to 1.2% of the gross  revenues of
each of the Company's assisted living facilities  (subject to reduction,  as the
Company terminates  Services).  The initial term of the Administrative  Services
Agreement is 12 months and will be  automatically  renewed for an  additional 12
month period unless terminated.

   Pursuant  to  sublease  agreements  dated as of June 1,  1996,  an  operating
subsidiary of the Company subleases The Shores and The Cheyenne Place facilities
from IHS. The payment terms of each sublease agreement are substantially similar
to the terms of the  underlying  lease  between IHS and the property  owner.  In
connection  with the  execution  of each  sublease  agreement,  the  Company has
executed a guaranty  agreement  whereby  the Company  guarantees  the payment of
obligations due under the sublease agreements.

                         DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK


   The Company is authorized to issue up to 100,000,000  shares of Common Stock,
par value $.01 per share,  4,961,000  shares of which are issued and outstanding
as of the date  hereof  and held of  record  by IHS,  and  5,000,000  shares  of
Preferred  Stock,  $.01 par value,  none of which are outstanding as of the date
hereof. 

COMMON STOCK

   Holders of Common  Stock are  entitled to one vote for each share held on all
matters  submitted  to a vote of  stockholders.  The Common  Stock does not have
cumulative  voting  rights,  and, as a result,  the holders of a majority of the
shares of Common Stock  entitled to vote in any election of directors  may elect
all of the directors  standing for election,  and, in that event, the holders of
the  remaining  shares will not be able to elect any  directors.  Subject to the
rights and preferences of any Preferred  Stock which may be issued,  the holders
of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably such  dividends,  if any, as may
be declared by the Board of Directors  out of funds legally  available  therefor
and, upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders
of Common  Stock are  entitled to receive  ratably the net assets of the Company
available  after the  payment  of all debts and other  liabilities.  Holders  of
Common Stock have no preemptive, subscription,  redemption or conversion rights.
The  outstanding  shares of Common  Stock  are,  and the  shares  offered by the
Company in this  offering  will be,  when  issued  and paid for,  fully paid and
nonassessable. The rights, privileges and preferences of holders of Common Stock
will be subject to, and may be adversely  affected by, the rights of the holders
of any shares of Preferred  Stock which the Company may  designate  and issue in
the future.

   At  present,  there is no active  trading  market for the Common  Stock.  The
Company  intends to apply to have the Common Stock approved for quotation on the
Nasdaq  National  Market under the symbol  "ILCC." See "Risk Factors -- No Prior
Public Market; Possible Volatility of Stock Price."


PREFERRED STOCK

   The Preferred  Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series as
determined  by the Board of  Directors.  The Board of Directors is authorized to
issue the shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series and to fix the rights,
preferences,  privileges and restrictions  thereof,  including  dividend rights,
dividend  rates,   conversion  rights,   voting  rights,  terms  of  redemption,
redemption prices, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting
any series or the designation of such series,  without further vote or action by
the stockholders.  The Preferred Stock could be issued by the Board of Directors
with voting and conversion  rights that could adversely  affect the voting power
and other rights of the holders of the Common  Stock.  In addition,  because the
terms of the  Preferred  Stock  may be fixed by the  Board of  Directors  of the
Company without  stockholder action, the Preferred Stock could be issued quickly
with terms calculated to defeat or delay a proposed takeover of the Company,  or
to make the removal of the  management  of the  Company  more  difficult.  Under
certain circumstances, this could have the effect of decreasing the market price
of the Common  Stock.  The Company has no present  plans to issue any  Preferred
Stock. See "Risk Factors -- Effect of Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions."


REGISTRATION RIGHTS

   The Company has granted  "piggyback"  registration rights with respect to the
shares of Common  Stock owned by IHS after this  offering.  As a result,  if the
Company  proposes to register any of its securities,  either for its own account
or for the account of other stockholders,  the Company is required, with certain
exceptions,  to notify IHS and,  subject to certain  limitations,  to include in
such  registration all of the shares of Common Stock requested to be included by
IHS.  The  Company is  generally  required  to pay all of the  expenses  of such
registrations other than the underwriting  discounts and commissions.  See "Risk
Factors -- Shares Eligible for Future Sale; Registration Rights." 

CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND BY-LAWS

   Number of Directors. The Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Restated
Certificate")  and By-laws of the Company  provide  that the Board of  Directors
shall consist of not less than five nor more than nine members, the exact number
to be fixed from time to time by the Company's Board of Direc

                                57
<PAGE>
tors.  This number may be increased  whenever the holders of any other series of
Preferred  Stock which may be issued by the Company have the right,  voting as a
separate class or series,  to elect directors of the Company for so long as such
right to elect directors exists.

   Classification of Board of Directors. The Restated Certificate and By-laws of
the Company divide the Board of Directors into three classes,  designated  Class
I, Class II and Class  III,  respectively,  each class to be as nearly  equal in
number as possible.  The term of Class I, Class II and Class III directors  will
expire at the 1997, 1998 and 1999 annual meetings of stockholders, respectively,
and in all cases directors elected will serve until their respective  successors
are elected and  qualified.  At each annual meeting of  stockholders,  directors
will be elected to succeed  those in the class  whose  terms then  expire,  each
elected  director to serve for a term  expiring at the third  succeeding  annual
meeting of stockholders after such director's election, and until the director's
successor is elected and qualified.  Thus,  directors elected stand for election
only once in three years.

   Additional  Directorships,  Vacancies  and  Removal of  Directors.  Under the
Delaware  General  Corporation  Law (the "DGCL"),  the Restated  Certificate and
By-laws, the Board of Directors is authorized to create additional directorships
(up to the maximum  number  permitted by the Restated  Certificate),  elect such
additional   directors  and  fill  vacancies  which  may  arise  in  the  Board.
Newly-created  directorships  and  vacancies  may be  filled  by a  majority  of
directors then in office to hold office until the next election of the class for
which such  directors  have been  chosen,  and until their  successors  shall be
elected and qualified.  In addition, in accordance with the DGCL pertaining to a
company  whose  Board  of  Directors  is  classified,   the  Company's  Restated
Certificate  and By-laws provide that directors may be removed only for cause by
vote of the  holders of 75% of the shares  entitled  to vote at an  election  of
directors,  except that directors elected by holders of Preferred Stock may only
be removed as provided in the Company's Restated  Certificate or the Certificate
of Designation of such Preferred Stock.

   Stockholder Action and Special Meetings. The Restated Certificate and By-laws
provide  that any  action of  stockholders  must be  effected  at a duly  called
meeting and not by written  consent in lieu of a meeting  unless there are fewer
than two stockholders.  The By-laws do not permit stockholders of the Company to
call special  meetings of  stockholders.  A special meeting of stockholders  may
only be called by the  Chairman  of the  Board,  the  President  or the Board of
Directors  of the Company and are to be held only for the  purposes set forth in
the notice of meeting.  The  affirmative  vote of the holders of at least 80% of
the Company's then outstanding capital stock entitled to vote in the election of
directors (considered for this purpose as one class) is required to amend, alter
or repeal,  or to adopt any provision  inconsistent  with, the provisions of the
Restated  Certificate  and By-laws  described  herein or to change such required
vote.

   Advance  Notice   Requirements   for   Stockholder   Proposals  and  Director
Nominations.   The  By-laws  establish  an  advance  notice  procedure  for  the
nomination,  other than by or at the  direction  of the Board of  Directors or a
committee  thereof,  of candidates  for election as directors  (the  "Nomination
Procedure")  as well as for other  stockholder  proposals  to be  considered  at
annual  stockholders'  meetings.  Notice to the Company from a  stockholder  who
proposes to nominate a person at a meeting for election as a director  generally
must be given not less than 120 nor more than 150 days prior to the  anniversary
of the date  notice  of the  annual  meeting  of  stockholders  was given in the
preceding year and contain:  (i) the name and record address of the  stockholder
who intends to make the nomination;  (ii) the name, age and residence address of
the nominee;  (iii) the principal occupation or employment of the nominee;  (iv)
the  class,  series and number of shares  held of  record,  beneficially  and by
proxy,  by the stockholder and the nominee as of the record date of such meeting
(if such record date is publicly  available)  and as of the date of such notice;
and  (v)  such  other  information  relating  to the  nominee  proposed  by such
stockholder  as is required to be included  in a proxy  statement  or  otherwise
required  pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934,
including  the  written  consent  of each  nominee  to being  named in the proxy
statement and to serve as a director of the Company if so elected. The presiding
officer of the meeting may refuse to  acknowledge  the  nomination of any person
not made in compliance  with the Nomination  Procedure.  Similar  advance notice
must be given of any other  proposed  business  which a stockholder  proposes to
bring before an annual meeting of  stockholders.  Such notice must contain (i) a
brief  description of the business  desired to be brought before the meeting and
the reasons 

                                58
<PAGE>
for conducting such business at the meeting, (ii) the name and record address of
the stockholder  proposing such business,  (iii) the class, series and number of
shares of the  Company's  stock  which are held of record,  beneficially  and by
proxy by the  stockholder  as of the record date of such meeting (if such record
date  is  publicly  available)  and  as of  the  date  of  such  notice,  (iv) a
description of all  arrangements or  understandings  between the stockholder and
any other person or persons  (naming such person or persons) in connection  with
the proposing of such business by the stockholder, and (v) any material interest
of the stockholder in such business.  The purpose of requiring advance notice is
to afford the Board of Directors an opportunity  to consider the  qualifications
of the proposed  nominees or the merits of other  stockholder  proposals and, to
the extent deemed  necessary or desirable by the Board of  Directors,  to inform
stockholders about those matters.  Although the advance notice provisions do not
give the Board of Directors any power to approve or  disapprove  of  stockholder
nominations or proposals for action by the Company,  they may have the effect of
precluding  a contest for the  election of  directors  or the  consideration  of
stockholder  proposals  if the  procedures  established  by the  By-laws are not
followed  and of  discouraging  or  deterring  a third party from  conducting  a
solicitation  of proxies to elect its own slate of  directors  or to approve its
own  proposals,  without  regard to whether  consideration  of such  nominees or
proposals might be harmful or beneficial to the Company and its stockholders.

   Anti-Takeover  Effects.  The foregoing provisions of the Restated Certificate
and By-laws could discourage potential  acquisition proposals and could delay or
prevent a change in control of the  Company.  These  provisions  are intended to
enhance the  continuity and stability of the Board of Directors and the policies
formulated  by the  Board  of  Directors  and to  discourage  certain  types  of
transactions  that may involve an actual or threatened  change in control of the
Company.  These provisions are also designed to reduce the  vulnerability of the
Company to an unsolicited acquisition proposal and to discourage certain tactics
that may be used in proxy fights.  However, such provisions may discourage third
parties from making  tender offers for the Company's  shares.  As a result,  the
market  price of the Common  Stock may not benefit  from any premium  that might
occur in  anticipation  of a  threatened  or  actual  change  in  control.  Such
provisions  also may have the effect of preventing  changes in the management of
the Company.  See "Risk Factors -- Effect of Certain  Anti-Takeover  Provisons."


DELAWARE ANTI-TAKEOVER LAW

   Under Section 203 of the DGCL (the  "Delaware  anti-takeover  law"),  certain
"business  combinations" between a Delaware corporation whose stock generally is
publicly  traded  or held of  record  by more  than  2,000  stockholders  and an
"interested  stockholder"  are prohibited for a three-year  period following the
date that such  stockholder  became an  interested  stockholder,  unless (i) the
corporation has elected in its certificate of  incorporation or bylaws not to be
governed by the  Delaware  anti-takeover  law (the  Company has not made such an
election),  (ii)  either  the  business  combination  or the  transaction  which
resulted in the stockholder becoming an "interested stockholder" was approved by
the board of directors of the corporation before the other party to the business
combination  became an interested  stockholder,  (iii) upon  consummation of the
transaction that made it an interested  stockholder,  the interested stockholder
owned at least 85% of the voting  stock of the  corporation  outstanding  at the
commencement of the transaction  (excluding  voting stock owned by directors who
are also officers and stock held in employee  stock plans in which the employees
do not have a right to determine  confidentially whether to tender or vote stock
held by the plan), or (iv) the business combination was approved by the board of
directors of the  corporation  and ratified by 66 2/3% of the voting stock which
the  interested  stockholder  did not own. The three-year  prohibition  does not
apply to certain  business  combinations  proposed by an interested  stockholder
following the announcement or notification of certain extraordinary transactions
involving  the  corporation  and  a  person  who  had  not  been  an  interested
stockholder  during  the  previous  three  years  or who  became  an  interested
stockholder with the approval of a majority of the corporation's  directors. The
term  "business   combination"  is  defined  generally  to  include  mergers  or
consolidations  between a Delaware  corporation  and an interested  stockholder,
transactions with an interested stockholder involving the assets or stock of the
corporation or its  majority-owned  subsidiaries and transactions which increase
an interested  stockholder's percentage ownership of stock. The term "interested
stockholder"  is defined  generally as a stockholder  who becomes the beneficial
owner of 15% or more of a Delaware corporation's voting stock. Section 203 could
have the effect of delaying,  deferring or preventing a change in control of the
Company. 

                                59

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION MATTERS

   The Company's  Restated  Certificate  provides that  directors of the Company
shall not be personally  liable to the Company or its  stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for
any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders,
(ii) for acts or  omissions  not in good  faith  or  which  involve  intentional
misconduct  or a knowing  violation of law,  (iii) for the  unlawful  payment of
dividends or unlawful  stock  repurchases  under Section 174 of the DGCL, as the
same exists or  hereinafter  may be amended,  or (iv) for any  transaction  from
which the director derives an improper personal benefit.  The provision does not
apply to claims  against a director for  violations of certain  laws,  including
federal  securities  laws.  If the DGCL is  amended  to  authorize  the  further
elimination  or  limitation  of  directors'  liability,  then the  liability  of
directors of the Company shall  automatically  be limited to the fullest  extent
provided by law. The  Company's  Restated  Certificate  and By-laws also contain
provisions requiring the Company to indemnify the directors, officers, employees
or other agents to the fullest  extent  permitted by the DGCL. In addition,  the
Company has entered into  indemnification  agreements with its current directors
and executive  officers.  These provisions and agreements may have the practical
effect in certain cases of eliminating  the ability of  stockholders  to collect
monetary  damages from directors.  The Company  believes that these  contractual
agreements  and the  provisions  in its  Restated  Certificate  and  By-laws are
necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.


TRANSFER AGENT

   The Transfer  Agent for the Common Stock is American  Stock  Transfer & Trust
Company.


                       SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

   Prior to this offering,  there has been no public market for the Common Stock
of the Company,  and no  prediction  can be made as to the effect,  if any, that
market sales of shares or the  availability of such shares for sale will have on
the market  price of the Common  Stock  prevailing  from time to time.  Sales of
substantial  amounts of Common Stock,  or the  perception  that such sales could
occur,  could adversely  affect the prevailing  market price of the Common Stock
and  the  ability  of the  Company  to  raise  capital  through  a  sale  of its
securities.

   Upon completion of this offering,  the Company will have 8,061,000  shares of
Common Stock outstanding  (9,040,500 shares if the Underwriters'  over-allotment
option is exercised in full). Of those shares, the 6,530,000 shares sold in this
offering  (7,509,500  shares  if  the  Underwriters'  over-allotment  option  is
exercised in full) will be freely tradeable  without  restriction  (except as to
affiliates of the Company) or further  registration  under the  Securities  Act.

   In general, under Rule 144 under the Securities Act as currently in effect, a
person (or persons  whose  shares are  aggregated)  who has  beneficially  owned
restricted  securities within the meaning of Rule 144 ("Restricted  Securities")
for at least two years,  and  including  the  holding  period of any prior owner
except an affiliate,  would be entitled to sell within any three-month  period a
number of shares  that does not  exceed the  greater of one  percent of the then
outstanding  shares of Common Stock or the average  weekly trading volume of the
Common  Stock  on the  National  Association  of  Securities  Dealers  Automated
Quotation System during the four calendar weeks preceding such sale. Sales under
Rule  144  are  also  subject  to  certain  manner  of sale  provisions,  notice
requirements  and the  availability  of  current  public  information  about the
Company.  Any person (or persons whose shares are  aggregated) who is not deemed
to have been an  affiliate  of the Company at any time  during the three  months
preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned shares for at least three years
(including any period of ownership of preceding  non-affiliated  holders), would
be entitled to sell such shares under Rule 144(k)  without  regard to the volume
limitations,  manner of sale  provisions,  public  information  requirements  or
notice  requirements.  An "affiliate"  is a person that directly,  or indirectly
through one or more  intermediaries,  controls,  or is  controlled  by, or under
common control with, such issuer.

                                60

<PAGE>
   Rule 144A under the Securities Act as currently in effect  generally  permits
unlimited resales of certain  Restricted  Securities of any issuer provided that
the  purchaser  is  a  qualified   institution   that  owns  and  invests  on  a
discretionary  basis at least $100 million in  securities  (and in the case of a
bank or savings and loan  association,  has a net worth of at least $25 million)
or is a registered  broker-dealer that owns and invests on a discretionary basis
at least $10 million in  securities.  Rule 144A allows IHS to sell its shares of
Common Stock held prior to this  offering to such  institutions  and  registered
broker-dealers without regard to any volume or other restrictions.  There can be
no assurance  that the  availability  of such resale  exemption will not have an
adverse effect on the trading price of the Common Stock.

   The Company,  its  directors and officers and IHS have agreed not to offer to
sell, sell,  distribute,  grant any option to purchase,  pledge,  hypothecate or
otherwise  dispose of,  directly or  indirectly,  any shares of Common  Stock or
securities  convertible  into, or exercisable  or  exchangeable  for,  shares of
Common Stock owned by them prior to the  expiration of 180 days from the date of
this  Prospectus,  except (i) with the prior written consent of the Smith Barney
Inc.,  (ii) in the case of the  Company,  for the  issuance  of shares of Common
Stock  upon the  exercise  of  outstanding  options,  or the grant of options to
purchase shares of Common Stock under the Company's stock option plans, (iii) in
the  case of the  directors  and  executive  officers  of the  Company,  for the
exercise by such  individuals  of  outstanding  options and (iv) for the sale of
shares in this offering.  Beginning in November 1997, IHS may sell all 1,531,000
of its shares of Common  Stock  subject to the volume and other  limitations  of
Rule  144.  The  Commission  has  proposed  an  amendment  to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act which, if adopted as currently proposed, would permit the sale of
such  1,531,000  shares of Common Stock held by IHS beginning 181 days after the
date of this Prospectus,  rather than November 1997 (i.e.,  after the expiration
of the "lock-up"  period),  subject to the volume and other  limitations of Rule
144.

   IHS has the  right to  include  its  shares  in any  future  registration  of
securities  effected by the Company under the Securities  Act. If the Company is
required  to  include in a  Company-initiated  registration  shares  held by IHS
pursuant to the exercise of its piggyback  registration  rights,  such sales may
have an adverse  effect on the Company's  ability to raise needed  capital.  See
"Risk  Factors  --  Shares  Eligible  for  Future  Sale;  Registration  Rights,"
"Principal  and  Selling  Stockholders"  and  "Description  of Capital  Stock --
Registration Rights."

   The Company intends to file registration  statements under the Securities Act
registering  the shares of Common Stock  reserved for issuance upon the exercise
of options granted under the Stock Incentive Plan and the Non-Employee  Director
Stock Option Plan and the options  granted to the  non-employee  directors.  See
"Management -- Stock Options." These registration  statements are expected to be
filed  soon  after  the  date of  this  Prospectus  and  will  become  effective
automatically   upon  filing.   Accordingly,   shares   registered   under  such
registration  statements  will be available for sale in the open market,  unless
such shares are subject to vesting restrictions with the Company.

                                 UNDERWRITING

   Under the terms and subject to the conditions  contained in the  Underwriting
Agreement  dated the date hereof,  each  Underwriter  named below has  severally
agreed to  purchase,  and the  Company  and IHS have each agreed to sell to such
Underwriter,  shares of Common  Stock which equal the number of shares set forth
opposite the name of such Underwriter below.

                                                     =========


   The  Underwriting  Agreement  provides  that the  obligations  of the several
Underwriters  to pay for and  accept  delivery  of the  shares of  Common  Stock
offered hereby are subject to approval of certain legal matters by their counsel
and to certain other conditions.  The Underwriters are obligated to take and pay
for all shares of Common Stock  offered  hereby (other than those covered by the
over-allotment option described below) if any such shares are taken.

   The Underwriters, for whom Smith Barney Inc., Alex. Brown & Sons Incorporated
and  Donaldson,  Lufkin &  Jenrette  Securities  Corporation  are  acting as the
representatives (the "Representatives"),  propose initially to offer part of the
shares of Common Stock  directly to the public at the public  offering price set
forth on the cover  page  hereof  and part to  certain  dealers  at a price that
represents a concession  not in excess of $ per share under the public  offering
price. The  Underwriters  may allow, and such dealers may reallow,  a concession
not in excess of $ per share to other Underwriters and to certain other dealers.
After  the  initial  public  offering,   the  public  offering  price  and  such
concessions  may  be  changed  by the  Underwriters.  The  Representatives  have
informed the Company that the Underwriters do not intend to confirm sales to any
accounts over which they exercise discretionary authority.

   The Company has granted to the  Underwriters  an option,  exercisable  for 30
days from the date of this Prospectus, to purchase up to an aggregate of 979,500
additional  shares of Common Stock at the public offering price set forth on the
cover page hereof less underwriting discounts and commissions.  The Underwriters
may exercise such option to purchase additional shares solely for the purpose of
covering  over-allotments,  if any,  incurred in connection with the sale of the
shares offered hereby. To the extent such option is exercised,  each Underwriter
will become obligated,  subject to certain conditions, to purchase approximately
the same  percentage of such  additional  shares as the number set forth next to
such  Underwriter's  name in the  preceding  table bears to the total  number of
shares in such table.

                         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Integrated Living Communities, Inc.:

We have  audited the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets of  Integrated
Living  Communities,  Inc. and subsidiaries  (wholly-owned by Integrated  Health
Services,  Inc.) (the Company) as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the related
consolidated  statements of operations,  stockholder's equity and cash flows for
each of the years in the  three-year  period  ended  December  31,  1995.  These
consolidated  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of the  Company's
management.  Our  responsibility is to express an opinion on these  consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated  financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material  respects,  the financial  position of Integrated Living
Communities,  Inc. and subsidiaries (wholly-owned by Integrated Health Services,
Inc.) as of December 31, 1994 and 1995 and the results of their  operations  and
their cash flows for each of the years in the  three-year  period ended December
31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in notes 1 and 12 to the financial statements,  in 1995 the Company
adopted the provisions of the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board's Statement
of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 121,  "Accounting  for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of."

   Two of the  Company's  facilities  are  located on campuses  containing  both
assisted-living  facilities and  skilled-nursing  facilities which share certain
operating  expenses.  The facilities are owned by  subsidiaries  of IHS and have
been leased to the Company (see note 5). Effective June 1, 1996, the Company and
an IHS  subsidiary  entered  into  separate  condominium  agreements  and shared
services agreements for these facilities as discussed in note 14. Allocations of
various operating  expenses have been made by IHS on a monthly basis in order to
present the separate  operating expenses of the  assisted-living  facilities and
skilled-nursing  facilities.  The accompanying  financial statements reflect the
revenues   and   expenses   (including   such   allocations)   related   to  the
assisted-living facilities only.

   The consolidated  financial statements reflect the historical accounts of the
assisted  living and other senior living  facilities,  including  allocations of
general  and  administrative  expenses  from  the IHS  corporate  office  to the
individual  facilities.  Such  corporate  office  allocations,  calculated  as a
percentage of revenue,  are based on determinations  that management believes to
be  reasonable.  However,  IHS has operated  certain  other  businesses  and has
provided  certain  services  to  the  Company,   including   financial,   legal,
accounting,  human  resources and  information  systems  services.  Accordingly,
expense  allocations to the Company may not be  representative  of costs of such
services  to be  incurred in the future  (see note 7).  Also,  the  consolidated
financial statements reflect adjustments made by IHS to establish a new basis of
accounting  for the assets and  liabilities  of businesses  acquired,  using the
"push down" approach to accounting for business  combinations under the purchase
method.  The effect of these  adjustments  was to increase the cost of goodwill,
property, plant and equipment by approximately $6.2 million at December 31, 1995
(before the loss on impairment  of  long-lived  assets (note 12) and to increase
depreciation and amortization expense by $13,000 in 1993 and $140,000 in each of
1994 and 1995.

   Revenue Recognition

   Resident  units are rented on a month to month basis and monthly  service fee
revenue is recognized in the months the units are occupied. Service fees paid by
residents for  assisted-living  and other related services are recognized in the
period such services are rendered as other revenue. In some cases,  residents of
the Waterside  Retirement Estates facility have entered into life-care contracts
whereby the resident pays an entrance fee as well as a monthly rental payment.

   Under most life-care  contracts  (membership  agreements),  entrance fees are
partially refundable to the resident.  The minimum refund amount pursuant to the
resident's  membership  agreement  (generally  50% of the total entrance fee) is
payable to the resident or the resident's  estate within 120 days of termination
of the agreement, which may occur at any time after 30 days notice. In addition,
a portion of the  remainder  of the  entrance  fee is payable if the contract is
terminated  within 24 months of  move-in,  determined  on a  declining  pro rata
basis. The minimum refund amount and the estimated amount of the remainder which
is  expected  to be  refunded  based  on past  experience  of the  facility  are
accounted for as refundable  deposit  liabilities.  The remaining  amount of the
entrance fees is accounted for as deferred  revenue under the caption  "unearned
entrance  fees." Such  deferred  revenue is  amortized to  operations  of future
periods based on the estimated life of the resident,  adjusted annually based on
the actuarially determined estimated remaining life expectancy of each resident,
on the straight-line method. Unamortized deferred revenue is recorded as revenue
upon the  resident's  death or contract  termination.  Earned  entrance  fees on
life-care  contracts  were  $87,675 in 1993,  $679,319 in 1994,  and $680,409 in
1995.

   Property and Equipment

   Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation  and amortization of
property and  equipment  are computed  using the  straight-line  method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Building and improvements ...  40 years
Land improvements............  25 years
Equipment....................  10 years
Leasehold improvements.......  Term of the lease



   Income Taxes

   The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS 109). The Company was not a
separate taxable entity during the three years ended December 31, 1995; however,
under SFAS 109 the current and deferred tax expense has been allocated among the
members of the IHS  controlled  corporate  group  including  the Company and its
subsidiaries.

   Under the asset and  liability  method of SFAS 109,  deferred  tax assets and
liabilities  are  recognized  for the future tax  consequences  attributable  to
differences  between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets
and  liabilities  and their  respective  tax  bases.  Deferred  tax  assets  and
liabilities  are measured  using enacted tax rates  expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which  those  temporary  differences  are  expected to be
recovered  or settled.  Under SFAS 109,  the effect on  deferred  tax assets and
liabilities  of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that
includes the enactment date.  Valuation allowances are recorded for deferred tax
assets when it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not be
realized.

   Cash and Cash Equivalents

   Cash and cash  equivalents  consist  of  highly  liquid  instruments  with an
original  maturity of three  months or less.  Under a cash  management  facility
provided by the Parent  Company,  the Company's  operating  cash balances of the
facilities  are generally  transferred  to a centralized  account and applied to
reduce  additional  paid-in capital.  The Company's cash needs for operating and
other purposes are similarly  provided through an increase to additional paid-in
capital.  However,  in 1994 and 1995 the Waterside  Retirement  Estates facility
transferred cash to the Parent Company only to the extent needed to satisfy cash
needs  for   operating   expenses.   The  excess  of  cash  receipts  over  cash
disbursements  of this  facility is reflected  in the cash and cash  equivalents
account as of December 31, 1994 and 1995.

   Obligation to Provide Future Services

   For life-care contracts, the Company annually calculates the present value of
the net cost of future  service and use of  facilities to be provided to current
residents  and  compares  that amount with the balance of deferred  revenue from
entrance fees. If the present value of the net cost of future service and use of
facilities  exceeds the  deferred  revenue  from  entrance  fees, a liability is
recorded  (obligation to provide  future  service and use of facilities)  with a
corresponding charge to income.

   Earnings per Common Share

   Earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common
and common  equivalent  shares  outstanding  during the  periods.  Common  stock
equivalents  include options to purchase  common stock,  assumed to be exercised
using the treasury stock method.  Outstanding shares  retroactively  reflect the
stock split referred to in note 10.

   Use of Estimates

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of
contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and
the  reported  amounts of revenues  and expenses  during the  reporting  period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

   Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments

   The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other
current assets, other assets,  assets limited as to use funds, accounts payable,
and accrued expenses  approximate fair value because of the short-term  maturity
of these instruments.

   The carrying  amounts of refundable  deposits may not approximate  fair value
since these  liabilities  are not  short-term  in nature.  However,  since these
liabilities do not have specified maturity dates,  management believes it is not
practicable to determine their fair value.

   Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

   Management  regularly  evaluates  whether events or changes in  circumstances
have  occurred  that could  indicate an  impairment  in the value of  long-lived
assets. In December 1995, as part of a company wide adoption by IHS, the Company
adopted SFAS No. 121,  "Accounting  for the Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and
for Long-Lived  Assets to Be Disposed Of." In accordance  with the provisions of
SFAS No. 121, if there is an indication  that the carrying  value of an asset is
not  recoverable,  the  Company  determines  the  amount of  impairment  loss by
comparing the carrying amount of the assets to their estimated fair value. If an
asset tested for recoverability was acquired in a business combination accounted
for using the purchase  method,  the related goodwill is included as part of the
carrying value in  determining  recoverability  of that asset.  Goodwill also is
evaluated for  recoverability  by estimating  the  projected  undiscounted  cash
flows, excluding interest, of the related business activities, and any excess of
carrying value over such estimates is written off.

   In  addition to  consideration  of  impairment  upon the events or changes in
circumstances  described  above,  management  regularly  evaluates the remaining
lives of its long-lived assets. If estimates are changed,  the carrying value of
affected assets is allocated over the remaining  lives.  Estimation of value and
future  benefits of intangible  assets is made based upon the related  projected
undiscounted future cash flows, excluding interest payments.

   Interim Financial Information

   The unaudited consolidated financial information as of March 31, 1996 and for
the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 has been  prepared in  conformity
with the accounting  principles and practices reflected in the audited financial
statements  included  herein.  In the  opinion  of the  Company,  the  unaudited
consolidated  financial information contain all adjustments  (consisting of only
normal  recurring   adjustments)  necessary  to  present  fairly  the  Company's
financial  position,  results  of  operations  and cash  flows  for the  periods
indicated.

(2) BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

   During the three-year period ended December 31, 1995, IHS acquired six of the
seven  assisted-living  and other senior living facilities which are included in
the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 1995. Each acquisition was
accounted for by the purchase method; accordingly, the assets and liabilities of
the acquired  facilities  were  recorded at their  estimated  fair  values.  The
results of  operations  of the  facilities  acquired  have been  included in the
consolidated financial statements from the respective dates of the acquisitions.

   On December 1, 1993,  IHS  acquired  100% of the common stock of Central Park
Lodges,  Inc. (CPL). Among the facilities  acquired in this transaction was West
Palm Beach,  a 120-bed  skilled  nursing  facility  and 34 unit  assisted-living
facility.  The Company leases the  assisted-living  portion of the facility from
IHS (see notes 5 and 14).

   In connection  with the December 1, 1993  acquisition  of CPL, IHS originally
obtained the 60.5% controlling  interests in two  partnerships,  Lakehouse East,
which owns and operates a retirement  facility  including an assisted care wing,
21 garden apartments and 18 villas,  and Lakehouse West, which owns and operates
an adjacent  retirement  facility  consisting  of a single  building.  The 39.5%
minority  partners  subsequently  filed a suit against IHS and CPL alleging that
the  CPL  acquisition  triggered  a  provision  in  the  partnership  agreements
requiring the sale of the minority  interests in the partnership.  Settlement of
the suit was subsequently  reached pursuant to a Partition Agreement between the
parties.  Under  this  agreement,  an IHS  subsidiary  became  the sole owner of
Lakehouse East and the former minority  partners became the sole partners of the
partnership  which is the sole owner of Lakehouse  West.  These events have been
accounted for as if the settlement had occurred  effective as of the December 1,
1993  acquisition  date.  Accordingly,  the  financial  statements  include  the
operations of Lakehouse  East and exclude the  operations of Lakehouse West from
December 1, 1993.

   On March 18, 1994 IHS acquired The Homestead,  a 50 unit  assisted-living and
adult daycare facility for a total cost of  approximately  $1.3 million adjusted
for certain accrued liabilities,  prepayments and deposits assumed by IHS. Prior
to the purchase IHS had managed the facility  under a management  agreement with
the prior owner.

   On August  31,  1994  Integrated  Health  Services  of Lester,  Inc.,  an IHS
subsidiary, entered into separate facility operating leases for the 260-unit The
Shores and 95-unit  Cheyenne Place  facilities.  Integrated  Health  Services of
Lester, Inc. leases these facilities, including the related equipment, furniture
and fixtures, and subleases them to the Company (see note 5.)

   On December 15, 1995, IHS acquired  Carrington  Pointe, a 172 unit congregate
care and assisted-living facility for a total cost of approximately $11,900,000.
Prior to the  acquisition,  IHS had  managed  the  facility  under a  management
agreement with the prior owner.  The  acquisition  was recorded  effective as of
December 31, 1995;  accordingly,  results of operations for the period  December
15, 1995 to December 31, 1995 are not included in the financial statements.  The
effect of not including this period is not material to the results of operations
of the Company.  The assets acquired and liabilities  assumed have been adjusted
to reflect the new basis of accounting and are included in the December 31, 1995
balance sheet of the Company.

   The following summary, prepared on a pro forma basis, combines the results of
operations  as  if  the  acquisitions   described  above,  certain  acquisitions
consumated  subsequent  to December 31, 1995 and certain  probable  acquisitions
(see note 14) had been  consummated as of January 1, 1994,  after  including the
effect of certain  adjustments  such as  depreciation on the new basis of assets
acquired.   The  pro  forma  amounts  also  include   adjustments  to  corporate
administrative  and  general  expenses to reflect  management's  estimate of the
increase  in such costs as if the Company had  operated on a  stand-alone  basis

(3) ASSETS LIMITED AS TO USE

   A portion of the  entrance  fee  deposits on  life-care  contracts is held in
escrow pursuant to Section 651.035 of the statutes of the state of Florida. Such
minimum liquid reserve funds consist of cash equivalents that are required to be
maintained  by  continuing  care  facilities.  Balances in such reserve funds of
$626,618 and $657,126 at December  31, 1994 and 1995,  respectively,  exceed the
required minimum liquid reserves at such dates.

(5) LEASES

   The Company has leased four assisted-living facilities from IHS. With respect
to the West  Palm  Beach  and  Treemont  facilities,  IHS  subsidiaries  own the
premises of both skilled  nursing and assisted  living  facilities,  operate the
respective skilled nursing facilities,  and lease the assisted living facilities
to the Company.  Rent expense  included in the financial  statements under these
intercompany  leases was $855,963 in 1993,  $999,152 in 1994 and  $1,029,126  in
1995.  The  Company  has  obtained  condominium  interests  in these  facilities
effective June 1, 1996 (see note 14).

(7) OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

   Corporate  administrative and general expenses represent  management fees for
certain services,  including financial,  legal, accounting,  human resources and
information systems services,  provided by IHS pursuant to a management services
agreement.  Management  fees have been provided at 6% of total  revenues of each
facility,  except for the Lakehouse East partnership facility which has provided
management  fees  at  9%  of  monthly  service  fees  revenue  pursuant  to  the
partnership  agreement in effect for the period from December 1, 1993 to October
31, 1995 (of which  approximately  $224,000  was paid to an IHS  subsidiary  and
approximately $224,000 was paid to the other partner).

   Management  fees charged by IHS at 6% of total revenues have been  determined
based on an allocation of IHS's corporate general and  administrative  expenses,
which apply to all IHS divisions,  including the Integrated  Living  Communities
Division.  Such  allocation  has been made because  specific  identification  of
expenses is not practicable.  Management believes that this allocation method is
reasonable.   However,   management   estimates  that  the  Company's  corporate
administrative  and general expenses on a stand alone basis (i.e.  expenses that
would have been incurred if the Company had operated as an unaffiliated  entity)
would have been approximately $3.9 million in 1995.

(9) NOTE RECEIVABLE

   Integrated Health Service Retirement  Management,  Inc. (IHSRM), a subsidiary
of IHS,  entered  into loan and  security  agreements  dated  August 7, 1995 and
amended on  February  29,  1996 with an  individual,  the  president  of Elderly
Development Company,  Inc. Under the agreements,  IHSRM has agreed to loan up to
$750,000 to the individual at an annual interest rate of 11.75%.  The balance of
the loan at December 31, 1995 of $130,000 is included in other assets.  The loan
is for the  pre-development  activities  of five assisted  living  facilities in
California.  The loan and security  agreement  provide that IHSRM is entitled to
the  exclusive   right  to  manage  the   facilities   upon  the  completion  of
construction.  Also,  the  individual  has assigned  the rights  related to real
estate purchase  agreements to IHSRM. The loan and security  agreements  provide
IHSRM  a  security  interest  in  the  borrower's  pre-development  plans,  land
contracts,  and all licenses,  permits and governmental approvals. The principal
balance of the loan, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon,  is payable on
demand.

(10) CAPITAL STOCK

   As of December 31, 1995 and 1994,  the Company was  authorized to issue up to
1,000 shares of common  stock,  $.01 par value,  of which 100 shares were issued
and outstanding.  In June 1996, the Company's  certificate of incorporation  was
restated to  increase  the  authorized  shares to  100,000,000  shares of common
stock,  $.01 par value and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock,  $.01 par value.
Also, the Company effected a 49,610-for-one common stock split (in the form of a
stock  dividend).  Share and per share  data for all  periods  presented  in the
financial  statements  give  retroactive  effect to the  revised  shares and the
common stock split referred to above.  Accordingly,  4,961,000  shares of common
stock are  reflected  as issued and  outstanding  during the three  years  ended
December 31, 1995.

   The preferred  stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series as
determined  by the Board of  Directors.  The Board of Directors is authorized to
issue the shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights,
preferences,  privileges and restrictions  thereof,  including  dividend rights,
dividend  rates,   conversion  rights,   voting  rights,  terms  of  redemption,
redemption prices, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting
any series or the designation of such series,  without further vote or action by
the stockholders.  The preferred stock could be issued by the Board of Directors
with voting and conversion  rights that could adversely  affect the voting power
and other rights of the holders of the common  Stock.  In addition,  because the
terms of the  preferred  stock  may be fixed by the  Board of  Directors  of the
Company without  stockholder action, the preferred stock could be issued quickly
with terms calculated to defeat or delay a proposed takeover of the Company,  or
to make the removal of the management of the Company more difficult.

   The Company has adopted two stock  option  plans.  The Stock  Incentive  Plan
provides for options to be granted to certain  employees and  consultants  at an
exercise  price per share not less than 100% of fair market value at the date of
grant (110% in certain cases). In addition, the Company adopted a Stock

                                      F-16

<PAGE>
            INTEGRATED LIVING COMMUNITIES, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES -
        (Wholly-Owned by Integrated Health Services, Inc.) (Continued)

Option Plan for  Non-Employee  Directors which provides for the grant of options
at an exercise  price per share  equal to the fair  market  value on the date of
grant.  The Board of Directors has  authorized the issuance of 694,150 shares of
common stock under the plans.  No stock options have been granted  through March
31, 1996.

(11) LIFE-CARE CONTRACTS

   The obligation under life-care contracts to provide future service and use of
facilities is calculated as the present value of the net future  service and use
costs.  Unamortized  deferred revenue exceeded the net present value of such net
costs at December 31, 1994 and 1995;  accordingly,  there was no future  service
liability  recorded in connection  with the life-care  contracts at December 31,
1994 and 1995.

   In accordance  with the  contractual  arrangements  under  certain  life-care
contracts,  a minimum amount  (generally  50%) of the entrance fee is refundable
and a portion of the entrance fee is  refundable  if the contract is  terminated
within  a  specified  time  period   (potentially   refundable  entrance  fees).
Refundable   deposits   represent  the  minimum  refunds  under  the  membership
agreements and the estimated  amount  expected to be refunded of the potentially
refundable  entrance fees, based on past experience with contract  terminations.
Potentially  refundable entrance fees were $871,270 and $882,779 at December 31,
1994 and 1995, respectively,  of which $187,281 and $215,627,  respectively,  is
included in refundable deposits;  the remainder is included in unearned entrance
fees. Refunds paid were $62,275 for the period from December 1, 1993 to December
31, 1993,  $370,769 in 1994, and $707,367 in 1995,  including minimum refunds of
$62,275 in 1993, $343,819 in 1994 and $553,213 in 1995.

(12) LOSS ON IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

   The Company implemented  Financial  Accounting Standards Board's Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 121 in connection with the Parent Company's
implementation in 1995. Through  evaluation of the recent financial  performance
and a recent appraisal of one of its facilities,  the Company estimated the fair
value of this  facility  and  determined  that  the  carrying  value of  certain
long-lived  assets,   including  goodwill,  land,  buildings  and  improvements,
exceeded  their fair value.  The excess  carrying  value of $5,125,838 (of which
$1,533,152   represented  goodwill  and  $3,592,686  represented  buildings  and
improvements) was written off and is included in the statement of operations for
1995 as a loss on impairment of long-lived assets.

(13) LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

   The Company is involved in various legal  proceedings  that are incidental to
the conduct of its  business.  Management  believes  that pending or  threatened
legal  proceedings  will  have  no  material  adverse  effect  on the  Company's
financial condition or results of operations.

(14) EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO DECEMBER 31, 1995

   Acquisitions

   On January 29, 1996,  an IHS  subsidiary  purchased  the Vintage  Health Care
Center,  a  110-unit  skilled  nursing,  43-unit  assisted-living  and a 62-unit
congregate care facility located in Denton, Texas and leased the assisted living
and Congregate  care portion to the Company.  The Company and the IHS subsidiary
subsequently  entered into a condominium  agreement (discussed more fully below)
for  the  Vintage   Facility   whereby  the  Company   owns  and   operates  the
assisted-living  and  congregate  care  portion  and IHS owns and  operates  the
skilled-nursing  portion. Between January 29, 1996 and the effective date of the
condominium  agreement  (June 1,  1996),  ILC  leased  the  assisted  living and
congregate care portion from IHS at a monthly rental of $35,000.

<PAGE>
            INTEGRATED LIVING COMMUNITIES, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES -
        (Wholly-Owned by Integrated Health Services, Inc.) (Continued)

   Effective  June 1, 1996,  the  Company  and an IHS  subsidiary  entered  into
separate condominium agreements and shared services agreements for the West Palm
Beach, Treemont and Vintage facilities whereby the Company owns and operates the
assisted  living and  congregate  care  portions  and IHS owns and  operates the
skilled-nursing  portion of the facilities.  Previously,  these  facilities were
leased from IHS. In connection with the condominium agreements, IHS made capital
contributions of approximately  $27.2 million,  representing the lesser of IHS's
carryover basis in the assisted living and congregate care assets contributed or
the estimated fair market value of such assets based on independent  appraisals.
The capital  contributions were $2,260,000 for West Palm Beach,  $21,450,000 for
Treemont and $3,460,000 for Vintage. The Company cannot transfer its condominium
interest  without  the  prior  consent  of IHS.  The IHS  facility  in which the
Treemont facility is located is subject to a mortgage. Should IHS default on its
obligations under the mortgage, the lender could foreclose on the mortgage which
could materially adversely affect the Company's business,  results of operations
and financial condition.

   Shared services  agreements  require that IHS provide laundry,  housekeeping,
building  maintenance,  landscaping,  emergency  call  services  and common area
maintenance  for a combined  total of $61,482 per month.  In addition,  IHS will
provide dietary  services to the Company for between $8 and $10 per resident per
day.  Utilities  and real estate costs will be allocated  among the  condominium
units according to pre-defined percentages. Finally, at the Vintage, IHS and the
Company  will share the  services of the  executive  director;  the Company will
reimburse IHS for 30% of the  executive  director's  salary,  benefits and other
expenses.

   The Company has entered into agreements to purchase two  assisted-living  and
other senior living facilities for an aggregate  purchase price of approximately
$14.9 million, and to lease two assisted-living  facilities.  The proposed asset
purchase  acquisitions  are  scheduled to close  simultaneously  with the intial
public  offering  of ILC common  stock.  The  proposed  lease  transactions  are
scheduled  to close prior to the initial  public  offering of ILC common  stock.
There can be no assurance that these  acquisitions will close as scheduled or at
all. A summary of the acquisitions is as follows:

                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION

   F.L.C. Lakehouse,  Inc., Don Blivas, Janice Blivas, Fred Fiala, and John Rowe
d/b/a Lakehouse East (the "Partnership") is a partnership organized and existing
under  the  laws of  Florida.  The  principal  business  is the  management  and
maintenance of a life care facility. The financial statements include only those
assets,  liabilities  and results of operations  which relate to the business of
the Partnership. The statements do not include any assets, liabilities, revenues
or expenses attributable to the partners' individual activities.



                                                       Ownership Interests

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

F.L.C. Lakehouse, Inc...................                    60.50%
Donald Blivas...........................                    16.50

                                                           ------

         On December 1, 1993,  100% of the common  stock of Central Park Lodges,
Inc.,  parent  company of F.L.C.  Lakehouse,  Inc.,  was purchased by Integrated
Health Services,  Inc. ("IHS").  This transaction did not have any effect on the
accounts of the Partnership.

   The  acquisition  by IHS is subject to approval of the Florida  Department of
Insurance ("DOI"). IHS has applied to the DOI for approval, however, the DOI has
not acted on the  application.  IHS  expects  the  application  to be  approved,
however,  if it is disapproved,  the DOI could take action that would be adverse
to IHS and the Partnership  including revocation of the certificate of authority
for operation of the facility or require IHS to divest its ownership interest.

   The minority shareholders have filed suit against FLC Lakehouse, Inc. IHS and
others alleging among other matters that the acquisition of FLC Lakehouse,  Inc.
by IHS required the consent of the minority partners or that arrangements should
have been made to have the minority partners' interests also purchased. The case
is in the preliminary stages of discovery,  however, as it represents litigation
among the  partners,  it is not  expected  to have any  impact on the  financial
position of the partnership.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   Property and Equipment: Property and equipment are stated at historical cost.
Additions  and  betterments  that  extend the life of an asset are  capitalized.
Maintenance and repair  expenditures  are expensed as incurred.  Depreciation is
computed on the  straight-line  method based on the following  estimated  useful
lives:



                    Building and improvements ...  20-40 years
                    Furniture and equipment .....   5-10 years



   Unearned Entrance Fees and Refundable Deposits:  The Partnership accounts for
the  nonrefundable  portion  of  entrance  fees  related  to the sale of certain
residency and care agreements as "unearned  entrance fees" and recognizes income
from these fees over the estimated  remaining life  expectancy of each resident,
with the  life  expectancy  reevaluated  annually.  The  refundable  portion  is
accounted for as "refundable deposits" and is not amortized.  Residency and care
agreements  may be  terminated  by  residents at any time for any reason with 30
days notice. Within 120 days of termination, the minimum

                                      F-22

                                 (A Partnership)

                   Notes to Financial Statements--(Continued)

refund  amount per  contract of the total  entrance  fee will be refunded to the
resident or the  resident's  estate.  If the  contract is  terminated  within 24
months of  move-in,  the refunds  may be higher.  Payments  of such  refunds are
charged against the resident's  unamortized  entrance fee and refundable deposit
and any gain or loss is included in revenue or expense.

   Income Taxes:  The Partnership is not considered a taxable entity for Federal
and State income tax purposes. Any taxable income or losses,  investment credits
and certain other items,  therefore,  are the  responsibility of the partners on
their  income tax returns in  accordance  with the  partnership  agreement.  The
Partnership  uses a fiscal year ending  December  31, for  reporting  income tax
items to the partners.

3. ASSETS WHOSE USE IS LIMITED

   Assets  whose use is limited for  entrance  fee  deposits  held in escrow are
restricted by the statutes of the State of Florida.

   Assets whose use is limited for minimum liquid reserve funds consists of cash
and cash  equivalents  that are required to be  maintained  by  continuing  care
facilities in accordance with Section 651.035, Florida Statutes. The Partnership
has met its required minimum liquid reserves at October 31, 1993.

4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

   The following  transactions between the Partnership and related organizations
have been reflected in the financial statements:

   The Partnership  records expenses payable to a partner for management fees as
well as payroll costs, data processing fees and miscellaneous other charges paid
on behalf of the  Partnership.  Through  December 1993,  these advances from the
partner  were  charged  interest  at 2% above the prime  rate  (which  was 6% at
October 31, 1993).  The Partnership  recognized  $116,665 of interest expense in
the year ended October 31, 1993 related to these advances.

                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                        MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1993

(1) ORGANIZATION

   F.L.C.  Lakehouse,  Inc., Don Blivas, Janice Blivas, Fred Fiala and John Rowe
d/b/a Lakehouse East (the "Partnership") is a partnership organized and existing
under the laws of the state of Florida. The principal business is the management
and  maintenance  of a 164-unit life care  facility.  The  financial  statements
include  only the  results of  operations  which  relate to the  business of the
Partnership. The ownership interests of the partners at November 30, 1993 are as
follows:




               F.L.C. Lakehouse, Inc...................   60.50%
               Donald Blivas...........................   16.50%
               Janice Blivas ..........................    9.00%
               John Rowe...............................    7.50%
               Fred Fiala..............................    6.50%
                                                         ------
                                                         100.00%
                                                         ======

   On December 1, 1993,  100% of the common stock of Central Park Lodges,  Inc.,
parent company of F.L.C.  Lakehouse,  Inc.,  was purchased by Integrated  Health
Services,  Inc. ("IHS").  In connection with the December 1, 1993 acquisition of
CPL, IHS  originally  obtained the  controlling  interests in two  partnerships,
Lakehouse  East,  which owns and  operates a  retirement  facility  including an
assisted  care wing, 21 garden  apartments  and 18 villas,  and Lakehouse  West,
which owns and operates an adjacent  retirement  facility consisting of a single
building.  The 39.5% minority partners subsequently filed a suit against IHS and
CPL alleging that the CPL  acquisition  triggered a provision in the partnership
agreements  requiring  the sale of the minority  interests  in the  partnership.
Settlement  of  the  suit  was  subsequently  reached  pursuant  to a  Partition
Agreement  between the parties.  Under this agreement,  an IHS subsidiary became
the sole owner of Lakehouse  East and the former  minority  partners  became the
sole partners of the partnership which is the sole owner of Lakehouse West.


(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


   Revenue Recognition

   In some cases,  residents of the  Lakehouse  East  facility have entered into
life-care  contracts  whereby the  resident  pays an  entrance  fee as well as a
monthly rental payment.  Additionally,  residents pay a monthly service fee that
is  recognized  as revenue in the  period in which it is earned.  Other  revenue
represents charges for additional services.

   Under most life-care  contracts  (membership  agreements),  entrance fees are
partially refundable to the resident.  The minimum refund amount pursuant to the
resident's  membership  agreement  (generally  50% of the total entrance fee) is
payable to the resident or the resident's  estate within 120 days of termination
of the agreement, which may occur at any time after 30 days notice. In addition,
a portion of the  remainder  of the  entrance  fee is payable if the contract is
terminated  within 24 months of  move-in,  determined  on a  declining  pro rata
basis. The minimum refund amount and the estimated amount of the remainder which
is  expected  to be  refunded  based  on past  experience  of the  facility  are
accounted for as refundable  deposit  liabilities.  The remaining  amount of the
entrance fee is accounted for as deferred  revenue  under the caption  "unearned
entrance  fees." Such  deferred  revenue is  amortized to  operations  of future
periods based on the estimated life of the resident,  adjusted annually based on
the actuarially determined estimated remaining life expectancy of each resident,
on the straight-line method. Unamortized deferred revenue is recorded as revenue
upon the resident's death or contract termination.

                    Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

   Property and Equipment

   Property and  equipment  are recorded at  historical  cost.  Depreciation  of
property and  equipment  are computed  using the  straight-line  method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:



          Buildings and improvements ...          20-40 years
          Furniture and equipment.......          5-10 years




   Use of Estimates


   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of
contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and
the  reported  amounts of revenues  and expenses  during the  reporting  period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

   Income Taxes

   The  Partnership  is not  considered  a taxable  entity for Federal and state
income tax  purposes.  Any  taxable  income or losses,  investment  credits  and
certain other items, therefore,  are the responsibility of the partners on their
income tax returns in accordance with the partnership agreement. The Partnership
uses a fiscal year  ending  December  31 for  reporting  income tax items to the
partners.


(3) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

   The following  transactions between the Partnership and related organizations
have been reflected in the financial statements.

   The Partnership  records expenses payable to a partner for management fees of
$17,519,  as well as payroll costs, data processing fees and miscellaneous other
charges paid on behalf of the Partnership.  During November 1993, these advances
from the partner were charged  interest at 2% above the prime rate (which was 6%
at November 30,  1993).  The  Partnership  recognized  approximately  $11,000 of
interest  expense for the one month  period  ended  November 30, 1993 related to
these advances.

   The  Partnership  shares  a  centralized  cash  account  with  an  affiliated
partnership,  Lakehouse  West,  which results in intercompany  balances  between
Lakehouse East and Lakehouse West.

(1) DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

   Carrington  Pointe  (the  facility)  is a 172-unit  assisted-living  facility
located in Fresno,  California.  The facility  provides  various services to its
residents, including meals, social activities and other personal services.

   Liberty/Carrington  Pointe  Limited  Partnership  (the  "Partnership")  is  a
partnership  organized and existing under the laws of  Massachusetts  which owns
and operates the Carrington Pointe facility.

   The partners' interest in the Partnership are as follows:


                                             Partnership     Ownership
          Partners                            Interest       Interests
          --------                            --------       ---------
Liberty Real Estate Properties, Inc. ...      General            1%
Atlantic Real Estate L.P................      Limited           99%
                                                               ---
                                                               100%
                                                               ===


   On December 15, 1995, a subsidiary of Integrated Health Services,  Inc. (IHS)
acquired the facility from  Liberty/Carrington  Pointe Limited Partnership.  The
purchase  price was  approximately  $11,900,000  adjusted  for  certain  accrued
liabilities, prepayments and deposits assumed by IHS. These financial statements
include no  adjustments  to establish a new basis of accounting for the facility
related to the change in ownership.

   IHS recorded the acquisition of Carrington Pointe as of December 31, 1995. In
connection with a corporate  reorganization  in 1996,  Carrington  Pointe is now
owned by a subsidiary  of  Integrated  Living  Communities,  Inc.  which is also
wholly-owned by IHS.

   Monthly Service Fees

   Resident units are rented on a month to month basis and rent is recognized in
the  months  the  units  are  occupied.  Service  fees  paid  by  residents  for
assisted-living  and other  related  services are  recognized in the period such
services are rendered as other revenue.

(A Facility Owned by Liberty/Carrington Pointe Limited Partnership)--(Continued)

   Property and Equipment

   Depreciation  and  amortization  of property and equipment are computed using
the  straight-line  method  over the  estimated  useful  lives of the  assets as
follows:

               Buildings and improvements ...  40 years
               Land improvements.............  25 years
               Furniture and equipment.......  10 years
               Vehicles .....................   5 years



   Income Taxes

   Neither the partnership nor the facility are considered  taxable entities for
Federal and state income tax  purposes.  Accordingly,  no  provision  for income
taxes is reflected in the financial  statements.  Any taxable  income or losses,
investment  credits and certain  other  items,  therefore,  are  reported by the
partners in their income tax returns.

   Use of Estimates

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of
contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and
the  reported  amounts of revenues  and expenses  during the  reporting  period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(2) MANAGEMENT FEES

   Integrated Health Services,  Inc. (IHS) performed management services for the
facility  until  the date of  acquisition  by IHS.  Pursuant  to the  management
agreement, the management fee is 6.5% of gross receipts plus a monthly charge of
$15 per employee.

                VINTAGE HEALTH CARE CENTER RETIREMENT DIVISION
          (WHOLLY-OWNED BY C.S. DENTON PARTNERS, LTD., A PARTNERSHIP)


                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND 1995


(1) DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   Description of Business and Basis of Presentation


   The Vintage Health Care Center Retirement Division (the Retirement  Division)
consists of a 43 unit  assisted  living and a 62 unit  congregate  care facility
also. The Retirement  Division  represents an operating  Division of the Vintage
Health Care  Center,  (the Parent  Company)  )which  includes a skilled  nursing
facility.  Vintage Health Care Center represents substantially all of the assets
of C.S. Denton Partners, Ltd. (the Partnership). The financial statements of the
Retirement  Division  include the activity of the assisted living and congregate
care  facility  only and do not  include the  activity  of the  skilled  nursing
facility. The Partnership was organized under the laws of the State of Texas and
its principal business is to own and operate the Vintage Health Care Center.

   The  Vintage  Health  Care  Center  is  located  on a  campus  containing  an
assisted-living  and  congregate  care  living  facility  and a  skilled-nursing
facility  which  share  certain  operating  expenses.   Allocations  of  various
operating  expenses  have been made by management on a monthly basis in order to
present the  separate  operating  expenses of the  Retirement  Division  and the
skilled-nursing facility. 

   Revenue Recognition

   Rent is  recognized in the month the units are occupied and service fees paid
by residents are recognized in the period the services are provided.

   Income Taxes


   Neither  the  Partnership  nor the  Vintage  Health  Care  Center  Retirement
Division are considered  taxable for Federal and State income tax purposes.  Any
taxable income or losses, investment credits and certain other items, therefore,
are the  reponsibility of the Partners on their income tax returns in accordance
with  the  Partnership  agreement.  The  Partnership  uses a fiscal  year  ended
December 31 for reporting income tax items to the partners.


   Statements of Cash Flow


   Under a cash management facility provided by the Partnership,  the Retirement
Division's cash balances are transferred to a centralized account and applied to
reduce  division  equity.  The  facility's  cash needs for  operating  and other
purposes are similarly provided through an increase in division equity.

   Division Equity

   Division  equity   represents  net  advances  from  the  Partnership  to  the
Retirement  Division less the  cumulative  deficit  (annual  losses in excess of
earnings  in  prior  years)  of  the  Retirement  Division.  Advances  from  the
Partnership  represent  the  cash  paid  by the  Partnership  on  behalf  of the
Retirement  Division in excess of cash received by the  Partnership on behalf of
the Retirement division.

                                      -
   (Wholly-Owned by C.S. Denton Partners, Ltd., a Partnership) (Continued)

   Property and Equipment

   Depreciation  and  amortization  of property and equipment are computed using
the  straight-line  method  over the  estimated  useful  lives of the  assets as
follows:



               Building and improvements ...  20-30 years
               Equipment....................  5-10 years


   Use of Estimates

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of
contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and
the  reported  amounts of revenues  and expenses  during the  reporting  period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

   Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments


   The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, rent collected in advance,
security  deposits  and notes  payables  approximate  fair value  because of the
short-term maturity of these instruments. 

(2) MANAGEMENT FEES


   Autumn America Retirement,  Ltd.,  wholly-owned by Robert Chilton,  performed
management services for the Retirement Division until the date of acquisition by
Integrated Health Services,  Inc. (IHS).  Pursuant to the management  agreement,
the  managment  fee is 5% of gross  receipts.  Management  fees  paid to  Autumn
America  Retirement,  Ltd. were approximately  $77,882 and $81,069 for the years
ended December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively.


(3) OWNERSHIP

We have audited the  accompanying  balance sheets of Terrace  Gardens Tenants In
Common (d/b/a Terrace Gardens Healthcare and Retirement Center) (the "Company"),
a facility owned by seven tenants in common (see note 1) as of December 31, 1994
and 1995,  and the related  statements of operations,  owners'  deficit and cash
flows for each of the years in the  three-year  period ended  December 31, 1995.
These financial  statements are the responsibility of the Company's  management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based
on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material  respects,  the financial  position of Terrace  Gardens  Tenants In
Common (d/b/a Terrace Gardens  Healthcare and Retirement  Center) as of December
31, 1994 and 1995,  and the results of their  operations and cash flows for each
of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

represent ancillary service charges of the nursing units.

   Assisted living revenues include revenues from a congregate  living apartment
building as well as revenues  from three  assisted  living  units.  Service fees
represent  monthly rental charges to residents of the apartment  units and daily
room and board charges in the assisted living units.

   Revenues are  recorded at  established  rates and  adjusted  for  differences
between such rates and estimated amounts reimbursable by third party payors when
applicable.  Revenues  are  recognized  in the period the units are occupied and
service fees paid by residents  are  recognized in the period that such services
are provided.

   Use of Estimates

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of
contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and
the  reported  amounts of revenues  and expenses  during the  reporting  period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

   Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments

   The carrying  amounts of cash,  accounts  receivable,  other current  assets,
other assets,  accounts  payable,  and accrued  expenses  approximate fair value
because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.  The carrying amount of
the mortgage  payable  approximates  its fair value because the interest rate is
adjusted quarterly.

   Property and Equipment

   Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization of
property and  equipment  are computed  using the  straight-line  method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

               Buildings............  40 years
               Land improvements ...  25 years
               Equipment............  10 years

   Income Taxes

   The  Facility is not  considered  taxable  for  Federal and state  income tax
purposes  and,  accordingly,  the Company does not record a provision for income
taxes.  Any taxable  income or loss,  investment  tax credits and certain  other
items are the  responsibility  of the  tenants in common on their tax returns in
accordance with their ownership interests.

   Deferred Financing Costs

   Long-term  debt  financing  costs are deferred and amortized over the term of
the financing using the straight-line method.

(2) PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

   Property and equipment consist of the following:

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

   Section  145(a)  of the  General  Corporation  Law of the  State of  Delaware
("GCL") provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any person who was or
is a party or is  threatened  to be made a party to any  threatened,  pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative  (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation),  by
reason of the fact that he is or was a director,  officer,  employee or agent of
the  corporation  or is or was  serving at the request of the  corporation  as a
director,  officer,  employee  or agent of another  corporation  or  enterprise,
against expenses,  judgments,  fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if
he acted in good faith and in a manner he  reasonably  believed  to be in or not
opposed to the best  interests  of the  corporation,  and,  with  respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

   Section 145(b) of the GCL provides that a Delaware  corporation may indemnify
any  person  who was or is a party  or is  threatened  to be made a party to any
threatened,  pending  or  completed  action  or suit by or in the  right  of the
corporation  to procure a judgment  in its favor by reason of the fact that such
person acted in any of the capacities set forth above, against expenses actually
and reasonably  incurred by him in connection  with the defense or settlement of
such  action  or  suit if he  acted  under  similar  standards,  except  that no
indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which
such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation  unless and
only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall
determine that despite the adjudication of liability,  such person is fairly and
reasonably  entitled to be  indemnified  for such expenses which the court shall
deem proper.

   Section  145 of the GCL  further  provides  that to the extent a director  or
officer of a corporation has been  successful in the defense of an action,  suit
or proceeding  referred to in  subsections  (a) and (b) or in the defense of any
claim,  issue  or  matter  therein,  he shall be  indemnified  against  expenses
actually  and  reasonably  incurred  by  him  in  connection   therewith,   that
indemnification  provided  for by  Section  145 of the GCL  shall  not be deemed
exclusive  of any other rights to which the  indemnified  party may be entitled;
and that the  corporation  may purchase and maintain  insurance on behalf of any
person who is or was a director,  officer, employee or agent of the corporation,
or is or was serving at the request of the  corporation as a director,  officer,
employee or agent of another  corporation or  enterprise,  against any liability
asserted  against him or incurred by him in any such  capacity or arising out of
his  status  as such  whether  or not the  corporation  would  have the power to
indemnify him against such liabilities under such Section 145.

                              II-1

   The Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Company

filed as Exhibit 3.1. The Company's  directors and officers are insured  against
losses  arising  from  any  claim  against  them as such  for  wrongful  acts or

obligated,  under certain  circumstances,  to indemnify officers,  directors and
controlling  persons  of the  Company  against  certain  liabilities,  including

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.

   A.  The  undersigned   registrant   hereby   undertakes  to  provide  to  the
Underwriters   at  the  closing   specified  in  the   Underwriting   Agreement,
certificates in such  denominations  and registered in such names as required by
the Underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

   B. Insofar as  indemnification  for liabilities  arising under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant  pursuant to the foregoing  provisions,  or otherwise,
the  registrant  has been  advised  that in the  opinion of the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission such  indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is,  therefore,  unenforceable.  In the  event  that a claim  for
indemnification  against  such  liabilities  (other  than  the  payment  by  the
registrant of expenses  incurred or paid by a director,  officer or  controlling
person of the  registrant  in the  successful  defense  of any  action,  suit or
proceeding)  is  asserted by such  director,  officer or  controlling  person in
connection with the securities being registered,  the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit  to a  court  of  appropriate  jurisdiction  the  question  whether  such
indemnification  by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

   C. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

         (1) For purposes of determining  any liability under the Securities Act
      of 1933, as amended,  the information  omitted from the form of prospectus
      filed as part of this  registration  statement in reliance  upon Rule 430A
      and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant  pursuant to
      Rule  424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the  Securities Act shall be deemed
      to be part of this  registration  statement as of the time it was declared
      effective.

         (2) For the purpose of determining  any liability  under the Securities
      Act of 1933, as amended,  each  post-effective  amendment  that contains a
      form of  prospectus  shall be  deemed to be a new  registration  statement
      relating  to the  securities  offered  therein,  and the  offering of such
      securities  at that  time  shall be  deemed  to be the  initial  bona fide
      offering thereof.

         B.   There shall pass with each Unit as appurtenances thereto:

         (1)      An undivided share in the Common Elements, Common Expenses and
                  Common  Surplus,  as  more  fully  described  in  Exhibit  "B"
                  attached hereto and made a part hereof.

         (2)      An exclusive easement for the use of the air space occupied by
                  the Unit as it exists at any  particular  time and as the Unit
                  may  lawfully be altered or  reconstructed  from time to time,
                  which  easement shall be terminated  automatically  in any air
                  space which is vacated from time to time.

         (3)      Membership of the Unit Owner in the Association, and the right
                  to use the Common  Elements  and  Association  Property and to
                  access  properties  owned by the  Association,  subject to the
                  rules  and  regulations  as  adopted  from time to time by the

                  Elements as may be  designated in this  Declaration  or in the
                  deed conveying the Unit.

         C. Each Unit Owner is entitled to the exclusive  possession of its Unit
subject to the provisions of this  Declaration.  Each Owner shall be entitled to
the use of the Common Elements and Association  Property, in accordance with the
provisions of this Declaration and the purposes for which they are intended, but
no such use shall  hinder  or  encroach  upon the  lawful  rights of other  Unit
Owners.  There  shall be a joint  use of the  Common  Elements  and  Association
Property, and a mutual easement for that purpose is hereby created.

         D.   Each   Unit   is   identified   by   a   specific   numerical   or

surrounding his Unit, nor shall he own pipes,  wires,  conduits or other utility

Unit,  which  items are hereby made a part of the Common  Elements.  Said Owner,
however,  shall own the walls and partitions which are contained within his Unit
and inner  decorated or finished  surfaces of the  perimeter  walls,  floors and
ceilings, including plaster, paint and wallpaper.

         E. All air conditioning equipment, water heaters, heat pumps, elevators

                  and the material  covering  other  openings in the exterior or
                  interior walls of Units, where applicable.

VI.      LIMITED COMMON ELEMENTS.

         There  are  Limited  Common  Elements  appurtenant  to  Units  in  this
Condominium,  as reflected by the plot plan and survey  attached as Exhibit "C",
which shall  include,  but not be limited to, pool areas,  awnings and fenced-in
areas which are specifically  designated and delineated and accessible only from
the Unit to which  they are  appurtenant.  These  Limited  Common  Elements  are
reserved  for the use of the Unit to which they are  appurtenant  or assigned to
the  exclusion  of  other  Units,  and  there  shall  pass  with  a  Unit  as an
appurtenance  thereto the exclusive  right to use the Limited Common Elements so
appurtenant or assigned.

VII.     ALTERATIONS OF AND IMPROVEMENTS TO UNITS AND COMMON ELEMENTS.

         A. Except in accordance with this Article, no Unit Owner shall make any
addition,  alteration or improvement  in or to his Unit, the Common  Elements or
Limited  Common  Elements to the extent that any such  addition,  alteration  or
improvement   (i)  is  visible   outside  of  the  Units  or  (ii)  affects  any
load-bearing, mechanical, electrical, plumbing or roof portions of a Condominium
Building  that  contains  more  than  one  Unit.  Any  addition,  alteration  or
improvement  as  contemplated  by the  preceding  sentence  is  referred to as a
Restricted  Improvement.  No Restricted  Improvement may be erected,  installed,
maintained or removed on the Condominium Property,  until an application for the
Restricted  Improvement setting forth the design,  construction,  specifications
and a plan showing the location of the structure has been approved in writing by
the Board of Directors (or an architectural review committee appointed by it) as
to quality, design and materials, harmony with existing structures, and location
with respect to topography  and finished grade  elevation.  Such approval of the
Board of Directors (or its designee) shall not be required in the event that the
Board of Directors (or its designee) fails to respond to the application  within
seven (7) business  days after  receipt of a written  request for same.  Nothing
contained in this  paragraph  shall be construed to lessen the obligation of any
Owner to make  prompt  application  for and  obtain all  necessary  governmental
permits and other  approvals  with  respect to any such  structure.  In no event
shall a Unit Owner make any  alterations in the portions of the  improvements of
the  Condominium  which are to be  maintained  by the  Association,  remove  any
portion thereof,  make any additions thereto, do any work which would jeopardize
the safety or soundness of the  Condominium  Building  containing  his Unit,  or
impair any easement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  the Board of Directors (or
its  designee)  shall  approve  the  application  as it relates to  improvements
required by law, although any aspect of the improvements which are discretionary
including but not limited to construction  methods,  materials  and/or aesthetic
considerations shall be subject to reasonable approval of the Board of Directors
(or its designee).  Further, the seven (7) business day prior notice requirement
described  above shall be shortened  and/or  eliminated as needed to accommodate
emergency  situations as determined in good faith by the Unit Owner  desiring to
make the addition, alteration or improvement; provided, however, where the prior
notice  requirement is eliminated  entirely,  such Unit Owner shall  nonetheless
submit the required  application  to the Board of Directors (or its designee) as
soon as reasonably practicable.

         B. A Unit  Owner  making  or  causing  to be made any  such  additions,
alterations or improvements agrees, and shall be deemed to have agreed, for such
Owner,  and his heirs,  personal  representatives,  successors  and assigns,  as
appropriate, to hold the Association,  any manager of the Condominium,  together
with all their  officers,  directors,  and  partners,  and all other Unit Owners
harmless from any liability or damage to the  Condominium  Property and expenses
arising therefrom,  and shall be solely responsible for the maintenance,  repair
and insurance  thereof from and after the date of  installation  or construction
thereof, as may be required by the Association.

VIII.    AMENDMENT OF DECLARATION.

         A. This Declaration may be amended at any regular or special meeting of
Unit Owners called or convened in accordance with the By-Laws by the affirmative
vote of Owners holding a majority of the total votes.  All  amendments  shall be
evidenced  by a  certificate  executed as required  by the  Condominium  Act and
recorded  among the public  records of the County,  and shall be effective  upon
recording.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  no such amendment shall be effective
unless approved by at least the majority of the Mortgagees  (based upon one vote
for each first mortgage owned).

         B.  Invalidation  of any part of this  Declaration  or of any provision
contained in any plat of the  Condominium  Property or in a conveyance of a Unit
in the  Condominium by judgment,  court order or law shall not affect any of the
other provisions hereof, which shall remain in full force and effect.

IX.      THE ASSOCIATION, ITS POWERS AND RESPONSIBILITIES.

         A. Subject to rights vested herein to the Unit Owners, the operation of
the Condominium shall be vested in the Association;  provided, however, that the
Association  may, to the extent  permitted by the Condominium  Act, by contract,
delegate its maintenance, management and operational duties and obligations. The
Association has been organized as a nonprofit Florida  corporation and a copy of
its  Articles  of  Incorporation  is  attached  hereto and made a part hereof as
Exhibit "D".

         B. No Unit Owner,  except a duly  elected  officer of the  Association,
shall have any authority to act for the Association.

         C. All Unit Owners shall  automatically  be members of the  Association
upon  delivery of a deed of  conveyance of fee simple title to a Unit and a Unit
Owner's  membership  shall  terminate  when he or she no longer  owns his or her
Unit.

         D. Unit Owners shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each Unit owned in
accordance  with the voting  privileges  set forth in the  Articles and By-Laws.
Multiple  owners of a Unit shall  collectively  be  entitled to one (1) vote for
said Unit in  accordance  with voting  privileges  set forth in the Articles and
ByLaws. There shall be no cumulative voting.

         E. The powers and duties of the  Association  shall  include  those set
forth in the Articles, the ByLaws, the Condominium Act, and this Declaration and
shall include, but not be limited to, the following:

         (1)      The  irrevocable  right of access  to each Unit at  reasonable
                  hours  as may be  necessary  for the  maintenance,  repair  or
                  replacement  of any  Common  Elements  therein  or  accessible
                  therefrom or another Unit, or at any hour for making emergency
                  repairs  necessary to prevent damage to the Common Elements or
                  to another Unit.

         (2)      The power to levy and collect Assessments from Unit Owners and
                  to maintain, repair and replace the Common Elements where such
                  maintenance,  repair and/or  replacement  is not reserved unto
                  the Unit Owners.

         (3)      The  keeping of  accounting  records in  accordance  with good
                  accounting  practices and the  Condominium  Act, which records
                  shall be open to inspection by Unit Owners or their authorized
                  representatives  at reasonable times, and written summaries of
                  which shall be  supplied  at least  annually to Unit Owners or
                  their authorized representatives.

         (4)      The  power  to  enter  into  contracts  with  others  for  the
                  maintenance,  management,  operation,  repair and servicing of
                  the   Condominium   Property  for  which  the  Association  is
                  responsible. The service 

                                        6

<PAGE>
                  and maintenance  contracts referred to herein may delegate the
                  Association's duty to maintain,  preserve,  repair and replace
                  the  Common   Elements  and  other   property   owned  by  the
                  Association,  but shall not  relieve  each Unit Owner from his
                  personal  responsibility to maintain and preserve the interior
                  surfaces of his Unit and to paint, clean,  decorate,  maintain
                  and repair said Unit.

         (6)      The power to purchase Units in the Condominium and to acquire,
                  hold, lease, mortgage and convey the same.

         (7)      The power to obtain and maintain adequate insurance to protect
                  the  Association  and  the  Common  Elements  and  Association
                  Property.

         (8)      The power to acquire  title to  property  or  otherwise  hold,
                  convey,  lease and mortgage  Association  Property for the use
                  and benefit of the Unit Owners.

         (9)      The power to adopt and amend  reasonable rules and regulations
                  governing use of the Common Elements and Association Property.


         F. Except as provided by statute in case of condemnation or substantial
loss to the  Units or Common  Elements,  unless  at least  the  majority  of the
Mortgagees  (based upon one vote for each first mortgage owned),  and the Owners
holding a majority of the votes have given their prior  written  approval,  such
approval not to be unreasonably  withheld, the Association shall not be entitled
to:

         (1)      By  act  or  omission   seek  to  abandon  or  terminate   the
                  Condominium;

         (2)      Change the pro rata interest or  obligations of any individual
                  Unit for the purpose of (i) levying  Assessments or charges or
                  allocating  distributions  of  hazard  insurance  proceeds  or
                  condemnation awards, or (ii) determining the pro rata share of
                  ownership of each Unit in the Common Elements;

         (3)      Partition or subdivide any Unit;

         (4)      By act or  omission,  seek to abandon,  partition,  subdivide,
                  encumber,  sell or transfer the Common Elements or Association
                  Property;   provided   that  the  granting  of  easements  for
                  Utilities or for other purposes  consistent  with the intended
                  use of the Common  Elements  and  Association  Property by the
                  Owners  shall not be deemed a transfer  within the  meaning of
                  this clause; or

         (5)      Use hazard insurance proceeds for losses to any portion of the
                  Condominium   for  other  than  the  repair,   replacement  or
                  reconstruction of such portion.

X.       BY-LAWS.

         The  administration  of  the  Association  and  the  operation  of  the
Condominium Property shall be governed by the By-Laws of the Association, a copy
of  which  is  attached  hereto  and  made a part  hereof  as  Exhibit  "E".  No
modification  of or amendment  to the By-Laws  shall be deemed valid unless duly
adopted  as  provided  in the  By-Laws  and set  forth in or  annexed  to a duly
recorded  amendment  to  this  Declaration   executed  in  accordance  with  the
provisions of the Condominium Act. No amendment to said By-Laws shall be adopted
which would affect or impair the  validity or priority of any mortgage  covering
any Condominium Parcel.

XI.      MAINTENANCE.

         A. Each Unit, and the furniture,  furnishings,  fixtures, equipment and
appliances  comprising a part thereof,  located therein,  or exclusively serving
the same shall be  maintained,  kept in good  repair and  replaced by 

                                        7
<PAGE>
and  at the  expense  of the  Owner(s)  thereof.  All  maintenance,  repairs  or
replacements  for which Unit Owners are  responsible  and  obligated  to perform
shall be performed  promptly as the need arises.  Each Unit Owner shall  provide
for pest  control  within  his or her  Unit.  Provided,  however,  the  Board of
Directors may determine  that it is in the best interest of the  Condominium  to
provide for pest control on a  building-by-building  basis and in such event may
so provide.

         B. The Association shall be responsible for (i) maintaining,  repairing
and replacing,  as needed,  all portions of the Common  Elements and Association
Property other than the Condominium  Buildings and (ii) performing  maintenance,
repairs and  replacements,  as needed,  of the Condominium  Buildings where such
maintenance,  repairs and replacement  primarily  benefit both Unit Owners.  The
Association  shall,  at the expense of all Unit  Owners,  repair all  incidental
damage  to  Units  resulting  from the  Association's  maintenance,  repairs  or
replacement of or to Common Elements and Association Property. The Association's
expenses of maintenance,  repairs and replacement  with respect to a Condominium
Building  shall be  assessed  against  each Unit  Owner in  accordance  with the
percentages  of benefit  realized by each Unit on account of same, as reasonably
determined  by the  Association.  The  Association's  expenses  of  maintenance,
repairs  and  replacement  with  respect  to  the  Common  Elements  other  than
Condominium  Buildings  shall be assessed  against each Unit Owner in accordance
with the ratio  between  the  square  footage  of its Unit and the total  square
footage of both Units.

         C. Where any  maintenance,  repair and/or  replacement of a Condominium
Building  is needed,  and such  maintenance,  repairs  and/or  replacement  will
primarily  benefit only one Unit, the Owner of that Unit will be responsible for
performing  and  paying  for  such  maintenance,   repair  and/or   replacement.
Notwithstanding  the preceding  sentence,  if such  maintenance,  repairs and/or
replacement  will  confer  any  benefit  on the  Owner of the  other  Unit,  the
Association  shall  assess the other Unit Owner for the value of such benefit as
determined  by the  Association  in its  reasonable  discretion  and remit  such
assessment  to the Unit Owner who  performed  such  maintenance,  repair  and/or
replacement.

         D. In the event a Unit  Owner  fails to  maintain  his Unit and  Common
Elements or Limited Common Elements as required herein,  or makes any alteration
or additions without the required consent, or otherwise violates or threatens to
violate the provisions of this Declaration  relevant to maintenance,  alteration
and repair,  the Association  shall have the right to perform such  maintenance,
remove any unauthorized addition or alteration, and restore the property to good
repair and condition and charge the Unit Owner therefor.

         E. All maintenance,  repairs and/or replacement by Unit Owners shall be
subject to the  provisions  of Article VII above  regarding  alterations  of and
improvements to Units and Common Elements.

XII.     COMMON EXPENSES AND COMMON SURPLUS.

         A. Common  Expenses  shall  include the  Association's  expenses of the
operation,  maintenance,  repair  or  replacement  of the  Common  Elements  and
Association  Property,  costs of  carrying  out the  powers  and  duties  of the
Association,  costs of  maintaining  any  facilities  and property  owned by the
Association,  and  any  other  expense  designated  as  Common  Expenses  by the
Condominium Act, this  Declaration or the By-Laws.  The cost of a master antenna
television system or duly franchised cable television  service obtained pursuant
to a bulk contract  shall be deemed a Common Expense if so approved by the Board
of  Directors.  Common  Expenses,  to the  extent  so  approved  by the Board of
Directors, will also include reasonable  transportation services,  insurance for
directors and officers,  road maintenance and operation  expenses and restricted
access or roving patrol  services,  all of which are  reasonably  related to the
general  benefit of the Unit Owners,  even if such expenses do not attach to the
Common Elements or Condominium Property.

         B. Common Expenses shall be assessed  against Unit Owners in accordance
with the  fraction  set forth for such Unit in Exhibit "B"  attached  hereto and
made a part hereof.

                                        8
<PAGE>
         C. The  Common  Surplus,  if any,  shall be owned by Unit  Owners  in a
proportion  equal to those  proportions  of ownership in the Common  Elements as
provided in this Declaration.

XIII.    ASSESSMENTS:  LIABILITY, LIENS, PRIORITY, INTEREST AND COLLECTIONS.

         A. The  Association,  through  its Board of  Directors,  shall have the
power  to  determine  and fix the  sums  necessary  to  provide  for the  Common
Expenses,  including  the  expense  allocable  to services  being  rendered by a
management company with whom the Association may contract. The annual Assessment
shall initially be payable monthly in advance;  however,  the Board of Directors
shall have the power to  establish  other  collection  procedures.  The Board of
Directors  may include  sums to establish  reasonable  reserves  against  future
contingencies in each annual Assessment,  which reserves may be waived from time
to time by the required percentage of votes of the Owners.

         B. A Unit Owner, regardless of the manner in which he acquired title to
his Unit including, without limitation, a purchaser at a judicial sale, shall be
liable for all Assessments  while he is the Owner of a Unit. A grantee of a Unit
shall  be  jointly  and  severally  liable  with  the  grantor  for  all  unpaid
Assessments  against  the latter for his share of the Common  Expenses up to the
time of the conveyance, except that the liability for prior Assessments of first
Mortgagees  acquiring  title through  foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure
shall be limited to the lesser of: (i) the Unit's  unpaid  Common  Expenses  and
regular periodic assessments which accrued or came due during the six (6) months
immediately preceding the acquisition of title and for which payment in full has
not been received by the  Association,  or (ii) one percent (1%) of the original
mortgage debt. The liability for Assessments may not be avoided by waiver of the
use or enjoyment of any Common Elements,  services or recreation facilities,  or
by  abandonment  of  the  Unit  against  which  the  Assessment  was  made.  The
Association may charge an administrative  late fee, in addition to interest,  on
any late  Assessment  payments not to exceed the maximum amount  permitted under
the Condominium Act.

         C.  Assessments and  installments  thereof not paid when due shall bear
interest  from the due date until paid at the maximum rate allowed under Florida
law. The Association may charge, in addition to the interest,  an administrative
late charge for  Assessments  not paid when due in an amount  established by the
Board  of  Directors  from  time to  time,  but not to  exceed  the  greater  of
Twenty-Five  Dollars ($25.00) or five percent (5%) of each  installment.  If the
delinquent installment(s) of Assessments and any charges thereon are not paid in
full when due,  the  Association  at its  option  may,  in  accordance  with the
requirements  of the Condominium  Act,  declare all of the unpaid balance of the
annual  Assessment to be immediately  due and payable without further demand and
may  enforce  the  collection  thereof  and all  charges  thereon  in the manner
authorized by law and this Declaration.

         Any payment  received by the Association  shall be applied first to any
interest accrued by the Association,  then to any administrative  late fee, then
to any costs and reasonable attorney's fees incurred in collection,  and then to
the delinquent Assessment. The foregoing shall be applicable notwithstanding any
restrictive  endorsement,  designation or instruction in or  accompanying by the
payment.

         D. The Association  shall have a lien upon each  Condominium  Parcel to
secure  the  personal  obligation  of each Unit  Owner  thereof  for any  unpaid
Assessment  and  interest  thereon.  Such  lien  shall  also  secure  reasonable
attorney's fees incurred by the  Association  incident to the collection of such
Assessment or  enforcement  of such lien. The lien shall be evidenced by a claim
recorded  among the public  records of Palm Beach County,  Florida in the manner
provided by the Condominium Act. As to other than first mortgages of record, the
lien  shall  relate  back  to the  recording  of  the  original  Declaration  of
Condominium  creating the Unit. As to first mortgages of record,  the lien shall
be effective from and as of the time of such  recording.  The Board of Directors
may take such action as it deems  necessary to collect  Assessments by either an
in personam action or lien  foreclosure,  or both, and may settle and compromise
the same if in the best interest of the  Association.  Said liens shall have the
priorities established by the Condominium Act.

                                        9

<PAGE>
         E. Liens for  Assessments may be foreclosed by suit brought in the name
of the  Association  in like  manner  as a  foreclosure  of a  mortgage  on real
property. In any such foreclosure, the court, in its discretion, may require the
Unit Owner to pay a reasonable  rental for the Condominium  Parcel and the court
may appoint a receiver to collect the Assessments  which are the subject of said
proceeding.  The Association  may bid for the Condominium  Parcel at foreclosure
sale and apply as a cash  credit  against  its bid all sums due the  Association
secured by the lien being  enforced,  and the  Association may acquire and hold,
lease, mortgage and convey any Condominium Parcel so acquired.

         F. Any unpaid share of Common Expenses or Assessments for which a first
mortgage  Mortgagee is relieved  from  liability  under the  provisions  of this
Declaration  shall be deemed to be a Common Expense,  collectible  from all Unit
Owners,  including the acquirer of the  Condominium  Parcel,  his successors and
assigns.  A first mortgage Mortgagee may not, during the period of its ownership
of such Parcel,  whether or not such Parcel is  unoccupied,  be excused from the
payment  of some or all of the Common  Expenses  coming due during the period of
such ownership.

XIV.     TERMINATION OF CONDOMINIUM.

         A. If all Unit Owners and Mortgagees of Condominium Parcels execute and
duly record an instrument  terminating  the Condominium  Property,  or if "major
damage" occurs as defined hereinafter, the Condominium Property shall be removed
from the provisions of the Condominium Act and thereafter owned in common by the
Unit Owners. The undivided interest in the Property owned in common by each Unit
Owner shall then be the fractional  share of the undivided  interest  previously
owned by such Owner in the Common  Elements,  and any liens which  encumber  any
Condominium  Parcel shall be transferred to said undivided  interest of the Unit
Owner in the Property.

         B. If the Owners of at least  eighty five  percent  (85%) of the Common
Elements elect to terminate,  they shall have the option to buy the Units of the
other Unit  Owners for a period of sixty (60) days from the date of the  meeting
wherein the election to  terminate  was taken.  The purchase  price shall be the
fair market value of the Units as of the date of said meeting as  determined  by
arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration  Association.  The price
shall be paid in cash within thirty (30) days of the  determination of the same.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no termination shall be effective unless approved
by at least the majority of the  Mortgagees  (based upon one vote for each first
mortgage owned).

XV.      EQUITABLE RELIEF.

         In  the  event  of  "major  damage"  to  or  destruction  of  all  or a
substantial  part  of  the  Condominium  Property  and if  the  Property  is not
repaired,  reconstructed or rebuilt within a reasonable period of time, any Unit
Owner shall have the right to  petition a court of  competent  jurisdiction  for
equitable relief which may, but need not, include termination of the Condominium
and partition.

XVI.     LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

         A. The  liability  of each Unit  Owner  for  Common  Expenses  shall be
limited to the amounts assessed against him from time to time in accordance with
the Condominium Act, this Declaration, the Articles and the By-Laws.

         B. A Unit Owner may be personally  liable for any damages caused by the
Association in connection with the use of the Common  Elements,  but only to the
extent of his or her pro rata  share of that  liability  in the same  fractional
share  as his  interest  in the  Common  Elements,  and in no event  shall  said
liability  exceed  the value of his Unit.  Each Unit  Owner  shall be liable for
injuries  or  damages  resulting  from an  accident  in his own Unit to the same
extent and degree that the owner of a house or any other property owner would be
liable for such an occurrence.

                                       10

<PAGE>
         C. In any legal  action  in which the  Association  may be  exposed  to
liability in excess of insurance coverage protecting it and the Unit Owners, the
Association  shall give notice of the exposure  within a reasonable  time to all
Unit  Owners,  and they shall have a right to intervene in and defend any action
arising therefrom.

XVII.    LIENS.

         A. No liens of any nature shall arise or be created  subsequent  to the
recording of this Declaration against the Condominium Property (as distinguished
from individual Units) without the unanimous consent of the Unit Owners.

         B. Unless a Unit Owner has  expressly  requested  or  consented to work
being  performed  or  materials  being  furnished  to his  Unit,  such  labor or
materials  may not be the basis for the filing of a lien against  same. No labor
performed or materials furnished to the Common Elements and Association Property
shall be the basis for a lien thereon unless  authorized by the Association,  in
which  event,  the same may be the basis for the  filing of a lien  against  all
Condominium  Parcels in the  proportions for which the Owners thereof are liable
for Common Expenses.

         C. In the event a lien against two or more Condominium  Parcels becomes
effective,  each Owner thereof may release his Condominium  Parcel from the lien
by paying the proportionate  amount attributable to his Condominium Parcel. Upon
such  payment,  it shall be the duty of the lienor to release the lien of record
from such Condominium Parcel.

XVIII.   EASEMENTS.

         A. An easement  shall exist for  pedestrian  traffic over,  through and
across  sidewalks,  hallways,  paths,  walks, and stairs,  and for vehicular and
pedestrian traffic over, through and across such portions of the Common Elements
as may from time to time be intended for such  purposes.  All of such  easements
shall be for the use and  benefit  of the Unit  Owners  and their  invitees  and
licensees;  provided,  however,  nothing  herein  shall be  construed to give or
create  in any  person  the right to park upon any  portion  of the  Condominium
Property  except to the extent  that space may be  specifically  designated  and
assigned for parking purposes or otherwise  approved by the Association for such
parking.

         B. The Condominium Property shall be subject to perpetual easements for
encroachments  presently existing or which may hereafter be caused by settlement
or movement of the Condominium  Building or minor  inaccuracies in construction,
which easements shall continue until such  encroachments no longer exist. If the
Condominium  Property  is  destroyed  and  then  rebuilt,  encroachments  due to
reconstruction  shall be permitted and a valid  easement for said  encroachments
shall exist. If any portion of the Common Elements  encroaches upon any Unit, or
any Unit encroaches upon the Common Elements,  as a result of the  construction,
reconstruction,  repair, shifting,  settlement or movement of any portion of the
improvements  contained in the  Condominium  Property,  a valid easement for the
encroachment  and for the  maintenance  of the same  shall  exist so long as the
encroachment exists.

         C. The  Condominium  Property  shall be subject to such  easements  for
utilities as may be  determined by the  Association  or required to properly and
adequately  serve the Condominium  Property as it exists from time to time. Each
of said easements,  whether  heretofore or hereafter  created,  shall constitute
covenants  running with the land of the  Condominium  and,  notwithstanding  any
other  provisions  of this  Declaration,  may not be  substantially  amended  or
revoked in such a way as to unreasonably  interfere with its proper and intended
use and purpose and shall survive the  termination  of the  Condominium.  To the
extent that the  creation of any such utility  easements  require the joinder of
Unit Owners,  the Association by its duly authorized  officers may, as the agent
or the  attorney-in-fact for the Unit Owners,  execute,  acknowledge and deliver
such  instruments;  and the Unit  Owners,  by the  acceptance  of deeds to their
Units, irrevocably nominate, constitute and appoint the Association, through its
duly authorized  officers,  as their proper and legal  attorney-in-fact for such
purpose.  Said  appointment  is  coupled  with  

                                       11
<PAGE>
an interest and is therefore irrevocable.  Any such instrument executed pursuant
to this Article shall recite that it is made pursuant to this Article.

XIX.     USE AND TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS.

         In order to provide for congenial occupancy of the Condominium Property
and for the  protection  of the value of the Units,  the use of the  Condominium
Property shall be in accordance  with the following  provisions,  so long as the
Condominium exists:

         A. No use  shall  be made of any  Unit  or of the  Common  Elements  or
Limited  Common  Elements  which will  increase the rate of  insurance  upon the
Condominium  Property without the prior written consent of the  Association.  No
Unit Owner shall permit anything to be done or kept in his Unit or in the Common
Elements  which will result in a  cancellation  or  insurance on any Unit or any
part of the Common Elements, or which will be in violation of any law, including
without  limitation  any law,  rule or regulation  governing  the storage,  use,
generation,  or  disposal of  hazardous  or toxic  materials.  No waste shall be
committed in the Common Elements.

         B. No sign of any kind shall be displayed to public view on or from any
Unit or the Common  Elements  without the prior written  consent of the Board of
Directors, which may be withheld in their sole discretion.

         C. The Common  Elements and Limited Common  Elements shall be used only
for the purposes for which they are intended in the  furnishing  of services and
facilities  for  enjoyment  of the  Units.  There  shall  be no  obstruction  or
alteration  of, nor shall  anything  be stored,  altered or  constructed  in, or
removed from, the Common Elements of Limited Common Elements without the written
consent of the Association.

         D. No  obnoxious or offensive  activities  shall be permitted  upon the
Condominium  Property  nor any use or  practice  which is a nuisance to any Unit
Owner or its  invitees  or  licensees,  or which  interferes  with the  peaceful
possession and proper use of the  Condominium  Property by each Unit Owner.  All
parts  of the  Condominium  Property  shall  be  kept in a  clean  and  sanitary
condition and no rubbish, refuse, or garbage shall be allowed to accumulate, nor
shall any fire hazard be allowed to exist.

         E. No immoral, improper, offensive or unlawful use shall be made of the
Condominium  Property  or of  any  part  thereof  and  all  valid  laws,  zoning
ordinances  and  regulations  of all  governmental  bodies  having  jurisdiction
thereof shall be observed.  The  responsibility  of meeting the  requirements of
governmental  bodies  pertaining to  maintenance,  replacement,  modification or
repair of the  Condominium  Property  shall be the same as is  elsewhere  herein
specified.

         F. No Unit Owner  shall cause  anything  to be affixed or attached  to,
hung, displayed or placed on the exterior walls, doors,  balconies or windows of
the  Building  (including  but not limited to awnings,  signs,  storm  shutters,
screens,  furniture,  fixtures  and  equipment),  nor  plant or grow any type of
shrubbery,  flower,  tree,  vine,  grass or other  plant life  outside its Unit,
without the prior  written  consent of the  Association,  subject  always to the
provisions hereof.

         G. No parking of boats, trailers,  motor homes or recreational vehicles
shall be permitted on any part of the Condominium Property.

         H.  Reasonable   regulations  and  rules  concerning  the  use  of  the
Condominium  Property may be promulgated,  modified or amended from time to time
by the Board.  Copies of such rules and regulations and amendments thereto shall
be  furnished  by the  Association  to all  Unit  Owners  and  residents  of the
Condominium  upon request.  The Association  shall have the right to enforce all
restrictions  set forth in this Article and in the  Declaration in any manner it
deems necessary including,  without limitation,  suits for injunctions,  actions
for damages, or fines.

                                       12

         I. The Unit  Owners  shall be bound by and perform  under the  Services
Agreement, a copy of which shall be provided to all Unit Owners.

         J. Each Unit Owner shall continuously  operate in its Unit the business
operated in such Unit as of the recording  date of this  Declaration  (the "Main
Business") in accordance with legal requirements  including licensure applicable
to such Main Business. Specifically, Unit A is and shall continue to be operated
as a skilled nursing  facility,  and Unit B is and shall continue to be operated
as an Assisted  Life Care  Facility.  The services  operated in each Unit may be
supplemented as follows:

                  (1) Unit A can add services whose acuity/skill level is higher
than services it currently provides under its Main Business.

                  (2) Unit B can add services whose  acuity/skill level is lower
than services it currently provides under its Main Business.

                  (3) Each  Unit  shall be  entitled  to add  services  that are
permitted under the applicable  license,  if any, that specifically  governs the
Main Business  conducted in the Unit.  Notwithstanding  the preceding  sentence,
Unit B shall not be  permitted to include a  segregated  and secured  Alzheimers
ward.

                  (4) Each Unit shall be  entitled to add other  health  related
services that are not part of its Main Business and non-health  related services
so long as such services as described in this sentence are  complementary to the
Main Business.

                  (5)  If  any  change  and/or   supplement  of  use  materially
increases that Unit's usage of utilities which are not separately  metered,  the
Association shall assess the Owner of such Unit for the charges  attributable to
such increased usage as reasonably determined by the Association.

                  (6) No Unit shall add services not described above without the
prior  written  consent of the Owner of the other  Unit,  which  consent  can be
arbitrarily  withheld in the sole and  absolute  discretion  of such Owner.  The
decision of an Owner as  contemplated  by the  preceding  sentence  shall not be
subject to  arbitration,  mediation,  litigation or other challenge on any basis
including without limitation a claim that the Owner's decision is unreasonable.

         K.  Neither Unit Owner shall sell,  lease or enter into any  management
agreement  in respect of the Unit owned by it at anytime  after the date  hereof
without the prior written  consent of the other Unit owner,  which consent shall
not be unreasonably  withheld;  provided,  however, that nothing herein shall be
construed as (A)  requiring any  non-affiliated  bona fide lender of either Unit
owner to secure the  consent of the other Unit  owner  prior to  exercising  its
remedies  in the  event  of a  default  under  any  applicable  loan  documents,
including,  but not limited,  to (i) the  appointment of a temporary  manager or
receiver, (ii) the conducting of a foreclosure sale with respect to the affected
Unit  or  (iii)  the  transfer  of  title  to  either  Unit  by  deed in lieu of
foreclosure  or (B)  binding a  purchaser  at such a  foreclosure  sale or party
taking title by deed in lieu of  foreclosure  to the consent  provisions of this
Section,  it  being  understood  and  agreed  that  such a lender  or  purchaser
including any Mortgagee  shall take title to the Unit free and clear of any such
consent  requirement  and  thereafter the consent  requirements  of this Section
shall be  deemed  to be null  and void  with  respect  to the Unit so  conveyed;
provided,  further,  that nothing  herein  shall be  construed as requiring  the
consent of either Unit Owner to the execution by the other party of a management
agreement  or lease  with an entity  under the same or common  control  with the
contracting party.

XX.      INSURANCE.

         A. Purchase of Insurance by Association.  The Association shall use its
best  efforts  to  obtain  and  maintain  adequate   insurance  to  protect  the
Association and the Common Elements and Association  Property.  The premiums for
such coverage and other  expenses in  connection  with said  insurance  shall be
assessed  against  the Unit 

                                       13
<PAGE>

Owners  as  part  of  the  Common  Expenses.  The  named  insured  shall  be the
Association, individually and as agent for the Unit Owners, without naming them,
and as agent for their Mortgagees.  The Association shall not maintain insurance
coverage  specifically required by this Declaration to be maintained by the Unit
Owners. Specific insurance to be maintained by the Association is as follows:

         (1)      comprehensive  general  public  liability and property  damage
                  insurance with respect to the Common  Elements and Association
                  Property  in  which  the  limits  of  public  liability  shall
                  initially  be not  less  than  $1,000,000.00  per  person  and
                  $5,000,000.00  per accident  and in which the property  damage
                  liability  shall be not less than  $1,000,000.00.  Such policy
                  limits  shall  be  increased   consistent  with   commercially
                  reasonable practices on a periodic basis.

         (2)      comprehensive  coverage  on  boiler  and  machinery  equipment
                  comprising   part  of  the  Common  Elements  and  Association
                  Property, including electrical apparatus, if applicable.

         (3)      hazard insurance  against perils  customarily  included within
                  all-risk and fire and extended coverage, including earthquake,
                  flood and hurricane,  on  improvements  comprising part of the
                  Common Elements and Association Property in an amount equal to
                  the full replacement value thereof at the time of loss.

         (4)      Worker's  compensation  insurance meeting all the requirements
                  of the laws of Florida to the  extent  the  Association  hires
                  employees.

         (5)      Directors and officers liability insurance, if available.

         (6)      Such other insurance as the Board of Directors shall determine
                  from  time  to  time  to  be  desirable,   including,  without
                  limitation, such insurance as may be required by any agency of
                  the United  States  government  which  holds a first  mortgage
                  encumbering  a Unit  or  insures  to the  holder  thereof  the
                  payment of the same.

         B.       Additional    Requirements:    Additional    requirements   of
                  Association insurance are as follows:

         (1)      Every hazard  policy which is issued to protect a  Condominium
                  Building shall provide that the word "building"  wherever used
                  in the policy  includes,  but is not  necessarily  limited to,
                  fixtures,  installations or additions  comprising that part of
                  the building within the unfurnished  interior  surfaces of the
                  perimeter  walls,  floors and ceilings of the individual Units
                  initially  installed,  or replacements thereof of like kind or
                  quality,   in   accordance   with  the   original   plans  and
                  specifications.  Provided,  however,  the word "building" does
                  not include Unit floor  coverings,  wall  coverings or ceiling
                  coverings,  or  any  of the  following:  electrical  fixtures,
                  appliances,  water  heaters or  built-in  cabinets  within the
                  Units,  and heating and air  conditioning  equipment,  whether
                  located within or without the Unit.

         (2)      All  policies  required to be  maintained  by the  Association
                  shall be written and  underwritten  by solvent and responsible
                  insurance  companies  licensed  to do business in the state of
                  Florida,   which   shall  have  a   financial   rating  as  is
                  commercially  reasonable under the circumstances as determined
                  by the Association in its reasonable  discretion.  Deductibles
                  under the Association's policies of insurance shall not exceed
                  commercially  reasonable  amounts as reasonably  determined by
                  the Association.

         (3)      Premiums upon insurance  policies purchased by the Association
                  shall be assessed by the  Association  against the Unit Owners
                  as part of the Common  Expenses.  If, at any time, the cost of
                  the insurance  premiums may be deemed too high,  the Board may
                  adjust  such  insurance  coverage  as  it  deems  prudent  and
                  reasonable.


                                       14

         C.       Purchase of Insurance  by Unit  Owners:  Each Unit Owner shall
                  maintain the following:

         (1)      a  policy  of  comprehensive   general  public  liability  and
                  property  damage  insurance  with respect to its Unit in which
                  the limits of public  liability  shall  initially  be not less
                  than  $1,000,000.00  per person and $5,000,000.00 per accident
                  and in which the property  damage  liability shall be not less
                  than  $1,000,000.00.  Such policy  limits  shall be  increased
                  consistent  with  commercially   reasonable   practices  on  a
                  periodic basis.

         (2)      insurance against perils customarily  included within all-risk
                  and fire and extended coverage,  including  earthquake,  flood
                  and hurricane, on improvements,  furniture, furnishings, trade
                  fixtures, equipment, and floor and wall coverings installed or
                  located in or made to its Unit in an amount  equal to the full
                  replacement value thereof at the time of the loss.

         (3)      All  policies  required  to be  maintained  by each Unit Owner
                  shall be written and  underwritten  by solvent and responsible
                  insurance  companies  licensed  to do business in the state of
                  Florida,  which  have a  financial  rating as is  commercially
                  reasonable  under  the  circumstances  as  determined  by  the
                  Association in its reasonable discretion.  Deductibles under a
                  Unit   Owner's   policies  of   insurance   shall  not  exceed
                  commercially  reasonable  amounts as reasonably  determined by
                  the  Association.  Policies  carried  by each  Unit  Owner may
                  contain  or be in one or  more  blanket,  umbrella  or  excess
                  liability covering other improvements of the Unit Owner.

         D.  Insurance  Held in Trust by  Association;  Shares of Proceeds.  All
hazard insurance  policies purchased by the Association shall be for the benefit
of the Association, the Unit Owners and their Mortgagees, as their interests may
appear,  and shall provide that all proceeds  covering  property losses shall be
paid to the  Association.  The duty of the Association with respect to insurance
proceeds  shall be to receive such  proceeds as are paid and to hold the same in
trust for the purposes  stated herein and for the benefit of the Unit Owners and
their Mortgagees in the following shares, which shares:

         (1)      Common  Elements.  Proceeds  on  account  of  damage to Common
                  Elements:  Proceeds  on  account  of  damage  to  improvements
                  comprising  part of the Common  Elements  shall be held in the
                  following undivided shares:

                           (a) When a  Condominium  Building is to be  restored,
                  for the Unit  Owner so damaged  in  proportion  to the cost of
                  repairing the damage  suffered by each Unit Owner,  which cost
                  shall be determined by the Association.

                           (b) When a Condominium Building is not to be restored
                  and such Condominium  Building contains more than one Unit, an
                  undivided  share for each Unit  Owner,  such  share  being the
                  ratio between the appraised value of its Unit to the appraised
                  value  of  both  Units,   such  appraisals  to  determine  the
                  respective  values as they  existed  immediately  prior to the
                  casualty.  A Unit Owner's  undivided  share  described in this
                  subparagraph is sometimes  referred to in this  Declaration as
                  the "Appraised Share."

                           (c) When a Condominium Building is not to be restored
                  and contains  only one Unit, a share for the Owner of the Unit
                  equal to all of the insurance  proceeds  less (i)  Association
                  expenses as described  below,  (ii) the cost of restoring  any
                  mandatory facilities to their condition as existed immediately
                  prior to the casualty,  (iii) the cost of repairing any damage
                  to the other Unit,  (iv) the cost of  demolishing  the damaged
                  property or performing such other work as determined necessary
                  by the  Association  to create a  harmonious  balance with any
                  remaining  improvements  in the  Condominium  which are either
                  undamaged  or  will  be  repaired  and  (v)  the  cost  of any
                  improvements needed in order to assure that use, occupancy and
                  operation  of the  other  Unit  will  not be in  violation  of
                  applicable   governmental   requirements   including   without
                  limitation

                                       15

                  zoning regulations and requirements of applicable  license(s).
                  As  used  herein,  "mandatory  facilities"  means  any  of the
                  following that service both Units: kitchen facilities,  boiler
                  room(s) and mechanical room(s). As used in this Article XX and
                  Article XXI below, a Condominium Building is deemed to contain
                  only one Unit where the damage is  confined  to one portion of
                  the Building,  and such damage primarily affects only one Unit
                  with  negligible  effect on the  other  Unit  other  than with
                  respect to mandatory facilities.

         (3)      Mortgages.  In the  event a  Mortgagee  endorsement  has  been
                  issued as to a Unit,  the share of that  Unit  Owner  shall be
                  held in trust for the Mortgagee  and the Unit Owner,  as their
                  interests  may appear;  provided,  however,  that no Mortgagee
                  shall  have  any  right to  determine  or  participate  in the
                  determination  as to whether or not any damaged property shall
                  be reconstructed or repaired,  and no Mortgagee shall have any
                  right to apply or have applied to the  reduction of a mortgage
                  debt any insurance  proceeds except those proceeds paid to the
                  Unit Owner and  Mortgagee  pursuant to the  provisions of this
                  Declaration.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  if (i) an Owner
                  has  assigned to its  Mortgagee  the Owner's  right to receive
                  insurance  proceeds from the  Association as such right is set
                  forth in this Declaration and (ii) the Owner and its Mortgagee
                  have so instructed  the  Association  in writing signed by the
                  Owner and its Mortgagee (the "Assignment  Instruction"),  then
                  the   Association   shall   recognize  such   assignment  and,
                  regardless of any  subsequent  conflicting  instruction of the
                  Owner, the Association shall disburse to the Owner's Mortgagee
                  any insurance  proceeds that  Association  would  otherwise be
                  required  to  disburse  to the  Owner.  Each  Mortgagee  is an
                  intended  third  party  beneficiary  of and  may  enforce  the
                  provisions of this paragraph.

         E. Distribution of Proceeds. Proceeds of insurance policies received by
the Association shall be distributed in the following manner:

         (1)      Expenses of the Association.  All expenses of the Association,
                  including  without  limitation  the cost of  appraisals  which
                  shall be performed by a MAI appraiser,  shall be paid first or
                  provision made therefor.

         (2)      Reconstruction or repair. If the damage for which the proceeds
                  are paid is to be repaired  or  reconstructed,  the  remaining
                  proceeds  shall be disbursed  as provided  below to defray the
                  cost thereof.  Any proceeds  remaining  after  defraying  such
                  costs shall be distributed to the beneficial  owners  thereof,
                  remittances to Unit Owners and their  Mortgagees being payable
                  jointly to them,  in  accordance  with the  Appraised  Shares;
                  provided,  however,  if the  Association  is in  receipt of an
                  Assignment  Instruction  duly  signed by an Unit Owner and its
                  Mortgagee,  such  remaining  proceeds that would  otherwise be
                  paid jointly to the Unit Owner and its Mortgagee shall instead
                  be paid directly to the Mortgagee.  This is a covenant for the
                  benefit of any  Mortgagee  of any Unit and may be  enforced by
                  such Mortgagee.

         (3)      Failure to reconstruct  or repair.  If it is determined in the
                  manner  elsewhere  provided  that the  damage  for  which  the
                  proceeds are paid shall not be reconstructed or repaired,  the
                  remaining  proceeds  shall be  distributed  to the  beneficial
                  owners thereof, remittance to Unit Owners and their Mortgagees
                  being  payable  jointly to them.  This is a  covenant  for the
                  benefit of any  Mortgagee  of any Unit and may be  enforced by
                  such Mortgagee.

         F.  Association  as  Agent.  The  Association  is  hereby   irrevocably
appointed  agent for each Unit Owner,  for  Mortgagee  and for each owner of any
other  interest  in the  Condominium  Property,  with power to adjust all claims
arising under insurance policies purchased by the Association and to execute and
deliver releases upon the payment of claims.


                                       16
<PAGE>

         G.  The   following   conditions   and   procedures   shall   apply  to
reconstruction  work  (the  "Work")  and  disbursement  of  remaining  insurance
proceeds on account of same:

                  (1)  Performance of Work. The  Association  shall enter into a
construction  contract (the  "Construction  Contract") with a general contractor
("Contractor"),  and a  Schedule  of Values  that  allocates  values to  various
portions  of the Work will be included in the  Construction  Contract.  The Work
shall be constructed  in a good and  workmanlike  manner.  Only new, first class
materials shall be used in the performance of the Work.

                  (2) Notice of Commencement.  The Association will not cause or
permit the Contractor to commence  construction and shall not disburse any funds
to Contractor, any subcontractors,  sub-subcontractors, materialmen and laborers
until a Notice of  Commencement  is recorded  pursuant to Chapter  713.13 of the
Florida  Statutes and a certified copy of such Notice of  Commencement  has been
posted on the construction site

                  (3)      Progress Payments.

                           (a) Based upon  Applications for Payment submitted to
the Association's architect (the "Architect") by the Contractor and Certificates
for  Payment  issued by the  Architect,  the  Association  shall  make  progress
payments  ("Association's  Progress  Payments")  from  the  remaining  insurance
proceeds, payable as hereinafter specified.

                           (b)  Prior  to   processing   a   Progress   Payment,
Association  shall require that the  Contractor  (i) make all  Applications  for
Payment on, and strictly in compliance with the  requirements  of, AIA Documents
G702-1983 and G703-1983 and (ii) attach to each Application for Payment:

                                    (1) an itemized,  sworn statement showing in
complete  detail  all  monies  paid  out or  costs  incurred  by the  Contractor
(including Change Orders) on account of the Work and Construction Contract, on a

Payments shall be computed as follows:

|The Progress Payment          |

|Contract                      |          remaining                  under

                           (a)  the   Construction   Contract   has  been  fully
performed by the Contractor; and

XXI.     RECONSTRUCTION OR REPAIR AFTER CASUALTY.

         A.  Determination  to  Reconstruct  or  Repair.  If  any  part  of  the
Condominium  Property is damaged by casualty,  whether it shall be reconstructed
or repaired shall be determined in the following manner:

         (1)      Condominium Building:

                           (a)  Minor  damage.  If less  than 75% of the  square
                  footage  of a  Unit  is  damaged  or  destroyed,  the  damaged
                  property shall be  reconstructed  or repaired  unless,  within
                  sixty (60) days after the  casualty,  the Unit Owners agree in
                  writing  to forego  such  reconstruction  or  repair  and 

                                       18
<PAGE>
                  such  decision  is  approved  by at least the  majority of the
                  Mortgagees  (based  upon  one vote  for  each  first  mortgage
                  owned).  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  if the actual cost of
                  restoring the affected  Unit in accordance  with then existing
                  applicable laws exceeds 110% of the actual insurance  proceeds
                  available under required policies of insurance plus deductible
                  amounts,  then the  damage  shall be  deemed  Major  damage as
                  addressed below.

                           (b)  Major  damage.  If more  than 75% of the  square
                  footage of a Unit is damaged  or  destroyed,  or if the actual
                  cost of restoring the affected  Unit in  accordance  with then
                  existing  applicable laws exceeds 110% of the actual insurance
                  proceeds  available under required  policies of insurance plus
                  deductible  amounts,  the damaged  property  shall  neither be
                  reconstructed  nor  repaired  unless,  within  sixty (60) days
                  after the casualty, the Owner of the affected Unit directs the
                  Association to effect such reconstruction or repair.

         B.  Plans and  Specifications.  Any  reconstruction  or repair  must be
substantially in accordance with the plans and  specifications  for the original
Condominium   Property;   or,  if  not,  then  in  accordance   with  plans  and
specifications  approved  by the Board of  Directors.  Any  reconstruction  that
materially and substantially  deviates from the configuration and quality of the
original  Condominium  Property  as it existed  prior to the  reconstruction  or
repair must be approved by at least the majority of the  Mortgagees  (based upon
one vote for each first mortgage owned).

         C. Responsibility. If the damage is only to those portions of a Unit or
Units for which the responsibility of maintenance and repair is that of the Unit
Owner(s),  then the Unit Owner(s) shall be responsible  for  reconstruction  and
repair after casualty.  In all other  instances,  it shall be the  Association's
responsibility to reconstruct and repair after casualty.

         D.  Estimate of Costs.  Immediately  after a  determination  is made to
rebuild  or  repair  damage  to  property  for  which  the  Association  has the
responsibility  for  reconstruction  and repair,  the  Association  shall obtain
reliable and detailed estimates of the cost to rebuild or repair.

         E.  Assessments.  If the proceeds of insurance  are not  sufficient  to
defray the estimated costs of reconstruction  and repair by the Association,  or
if at  any  time  during  reconstruction  and  repair,  or  upon  completion  of
reconstruction  or repair,  the funds for the  payment of the costs  thereof are
insufficient,  Assessments  shall be made against all Unit Owners in  sufficient
amounts to provide funds for the payment of such costs.

XXII.    EMINENT DOMAIN OR CONDEMNATION PROCEEDING.

         If  eminent  domain  or  condemnation   proceedings  are   successfully
litigated  against  all or any  part of the  Condominium  Property,  the  entire
eminent domain or  condemnation  award shall be held by the  Association for the
benefit  of itself,  the Unit  Owners and their  Mortgagees  in shares  equal to
shares of insurance proceeds payable on account of casualty.

XXIII.   LIABILITY - GENERALLY.

         A.  General  Provisions.  Notwithstanding  anything  contained  in this
Declaration, the Articles, Bylaws or rules and regulations of the Association or
any other document governing or binding the Association ("Property  Documents"),
neither the Developer nor the Association  will be liable or responsible for, or
in any manner a guarantor  or insurer  of, the health,  safety or welfare of any
Owner,  occupant  or user of any  portion  of the  Property,  including  without
limitation,  residents,  their families,  guests, invitees,  licensees,  agents,
servants, contractors or subcontractors, nor for any property of such persons.

         B.       Specific  Provisions.  Without  limiting the generality of the
                  foregoing:

         (1)      It is the express  intent of the Property  Documents  that the
                  various   provisions  of  the  Property  Documents  which  are
                  enforceable  by the  Association  and which govern or regulate
                  the  use  of  Property   have  been  written  and  are  to  be
                  interpreted and enforced for the sole purpose of enhancing and
                  maintaining  the  enjoyment  of the  Property  and  the  value
                  thereof.

         (2)      The   Association  is  not  empowered  to  enforce  or  ensure
                  compliance  with the laws of the United  States,  the State of
                  Florida or the County or any other  jurisdiction or to prevent
                  tortious activities by Owners or third parties.

         (3)      The  provisions  of the Property  Documents  setting forth the
                  uses of Assessments which relate to health,  safety or welfare
                  will be  interpreted  and applied only as  limitations  on the
                  uses  of  such  funds  and  not  as  creating  a  duty  of the
                  Association to protect or further the safety or welfare of the
                  persons even if such funds are used for such purposes.

         C. Owner Covenant.  Each Owner, his heirs,  successors and assigns,  by
virtue of his or her acceptance of title, and each other person or entity having
an interest or lien upon, or making the use of, any portion of the Property,  by
virtue of  accepting  such  interest or lien or by making use  thereof,  will be
bound by this  Article and will be deemed to have  automatically  waived any and
all rights,  claims, demands or causes of action against the Association arising
from or connected with any matter for which the liability of the Association has
been disclaimed in this Paragraph.

XXIV.    GENERAL PROVISIONS.

         A. If any provision of this Declaration,  the Articles,  the By-Laws or
the Condominium Act, or any section,  sentence,  clause,  phrase or word, or the
application  thereof, in any circumstances is held invalid,  the validity of the
remainder of this  Declaration,  the Articles,  the By-Laws,  or the Condominium
Act, and the  application  of any such  invalid  provision,  section,  sentence,
clause, phrase, or word in other circumstances shall not be affected thereby.

         B.  Notices to a Unit Owner  shall be sent to the  address of its Unit,
unless the Unit Owner has,  by written  notice to the  Association,  specified a
different  address.  Notices to the Association  shall be delivered by certified
mail to 2939 South Haverhill Road, West Palm Beach,  Florida.  All notices shall
be deemed sent when mailed.  Any party may change his or its mailing  address by
written notice to the other party.

         C. All remedies for violation  provided by the Condominium Act shall be
in full force and effect.  In addition  thereto,  should the Association find it
necessary  to  institute  legal action upon a finding by a court in favor of the
Association,  the defendant Unit Owner shall  reimburse the  Association for its
costs of suit, including reasonable  attorney's fees at both trial and appellate
levels, in bankruptcy or in post-judgment collection, incurred by it in bringing
such action.

         D.  Whenever  the context so  requires,  the use of any gender shall be
deemed to include all genders, the use of the plural shall include the singular,
and the singular shall include the plural.



                                       20

         E. The provisions of this Declaration  shall be liberally  construed to
effectuate  its  purpose of  creating a uniform  plan for the  operation  of the
Condominium.

                               SERVICES AGREEMENT


         This Services  Agreement  ("Agreement")  is made and entered into as of
this ____day of ___________, 1996, between Integrated Living Communities of West
Palm Beach, Inc. a Delaware  corporation ("ILC") and Central Park Lodges of West

                                    RECITALS

         WHEREAS,  ILC is the owner of that portion of the  facility  located at
2939 S. Haverhill Road, West Palm Beach,  Florida designated for assisted living
services  (the  "ALF"),  as  further  set  forth  in  that  certain  condominium
declaration,  dated  as  of  __________,  by  and  between  the  parties  hereto
("Condominium Declaration"); and

         WHEREAS,  CPL is the owner of that portion of the  facility  located at
2939 S. Haverhill Road, West Palm Beach,  Florida designated for skilled nursing
services (the "SNF"), as further set forth in the Condominium Declaration; and

         WHEREAS,  this Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions upon which
CPL will provide certain services to ILC at the ALF; and

         WHEREAS,  CPL  shall be an  independent  contractor  and  shall  retain
control over its employees and agents.

         NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the  foregoing  and the  mutual
covenants and agreements herein contained,  CPL and ILC, intending to be legally
bound, agree as follows:

appurtenance  thereto the exclusive  right to use the Limited Common Elements so
appurtenant or assigned.

VII. ALTERATIONS OF AND IMPROVEMENTS TO UNITS AND COMMON
ELEMENTS.

         A. Except in accordance with this Article, no Unit Owner shall make any
addition,  alteration or improvement  in or to his Unit, the Common  Elements or
Limited  Common  Elements to the extent that any such  addition,  alteration  or
improvement   (i)  is  visible   outside  of  the  Units  or  (ii)  affects  any
load-bearing, mechanical, electrical, plumbing or roof portions of a Condominium
Building  that  contains  more  than  one  Unit.  Any  addition,  alteration  or
improvement  as  contemplated  by the  preceding  sentence  is  referred to as a
Restricted  Improvement.  No Restricted  Improvement may be erected,  installed,
maintained or removed on the Condominium Property,  until an application for the
Restricted  Improvement setting forth the design,  construction,  specifications
and a plan showing the location of the structure has been approved in writing by
the Board of Directors (or an architectural review committee appointed by it) as
to quality, design and materials, harmony with existing structures, and location
with respect to topography  and finished grade  elevation.  Such approval of the
Board of Directors (or its designee) shall not be required in the event that the
Board of Directors (or its designee) fails

                                       -6-
<PAGE>
to respond to the application  within seven (7) business days after receipt of a
written request for same. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall be construed
to lessen the obligation of any Owner to make prompt  application for and obtain
all necessary  governmental permits and other approvals with respect to any such
structure.  In no event shall a Unit Owner make any  alterations in the portions
of the  improvements  of the  Condominium  which  are  to be  maintained  by the
Association, remove any portion thereof, make any additions thereto, do any work
which would  jeopardize  the safety or  soundness  of the  Condominium  Building
containing his Unit, or impair any easement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Board of Directors (or its designee) shall approve the application as it relates
to improvements  required by law, although any aspect of the improvements  which
are discretionary  including but not limited to construction methods,  materials
and/or aesthetic  considerations  shall be subject to reasonable approval of the
Board of Directors (or its designee).  Further, the seven (7) business day prior
notice  requirement  described  above shall be shortened  and/or  eliminated  as
needed to  accommodate  emergency  situations as determined in good faith by the
Unit Owner desiring to make the addition,  alteration or improvement;  provided,
however,  where the prior notice requirement is eliminated  entirely,  such Unit
Owner  shall  nonetheless  submit  the  required  application  to the  Board  of
Directors (or its designee) as soon as reasonably practicable.

         B. A Unit  Owner  making  or  causing  to be made any  such  additions,
alterations or improvements agrees, and shall be deemed to have agreed, for such
Owner,  and his heirs,  personal  representatives,  successors  and assigns,  as
appropriate, to hold the Association,  any manager of the Condominium,  together
with all their  officers,  directors,  and  partners,  and all other Unit Owners
harmless from any liability or damage to the  Condominium  Property and expenses
arising therefrom,  and shall be solely responsible for the maintenance,  repair
and insurance  thereof from and after the date of  installation  or construction
thereof, as may be required by the Association.

VIII.    AMENDMENT OF DECLARATION.

         A. This Declaration may be amended at any regular or special meeting of
Unit Owners called or convened in accordance  with the Bylaws by the affirmative
vote of Owners holding a majority of the total votes.  All  amendments  shall be
evidenced  by a  certificate  executed as required  by the  Condominium  Act and
recorded  among the public  records of the County,  and shall be effective  upon
recording.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  no such amendment shall be effective
unless approved by at least the majority of the Mortgagees  (based upon one vote
for each first mortgage owned).

         B.  Invalidation  of any part of this  Declaration  or of any provision
contained in any plat of the  Condominium  Property or in a conveyance of a Unit
in the  Condominium by judgment,  court order or law shall not affect any of the
other provisions hereof, which shall remain in full force and effect.

                  responsible. The service and maintenance contracts referred to

loss to the  Units or Common  Elements,  unless  at least  the  majority  of the
Mortgagees  (based upon one vote for each first mortgage owned),  and the Owners
holding a majority of the votes have given their prior  written  approval,  such
approval not to be unreasonably  withheld, the Association shall not be entitled
to:

         1.       By act or omission seek to abandon or terminate the Condominium;

         2.       Change the pro rata interest or  obligations of any individual
                  Unit for the purpose of (i) levying  Assessments or charges or
                  allocating  distributions  of  hazard  insurance  proceeds  or
                  condemnation awards, or (ii) determining the pro rata share of
                  ownership of each Unit in the Common Elements;

         3.       Partition or subdivide any Unit;

         4.       By act or  omission,  seek to abandon,  partition,  subdivide,
                  encumber,  sell or transfer the Common Elements or Association
                  Property;   provided   that  the  granting  of  easements  for
                  Utilities or for other purposes  consistent  with the intended
                  use of the Common  Elements  and  Association  Property by the
                  Owners  shall not be deemed a transfer  within the  meaning of
                  this clause; or

         5.       Use hazard insurance proceeds for losses to any portion of the
                  Condominium   for  other  than  the  repair,   replacement  or
                  reconstruction of such portion.

X.       BYLAWS.

         The  administration  of  the  Association  and  the  operation  of  the
Condominium Property shall be governed by the Bylaws of the Association,  a copy
of which is attached hereto and made

                                       -9-

<PAGE>
a part hereof as Exhibit  "E." No  modification  of or  amendment  to the Bylaws
shall be deemed  valid  unless  duly  adopted as  provided in the Bylaws and set
forth in or annexed to a duly recorded amendment to this Declaration executed in
accordance  with the  provisions  of the  Condominium  Act. No amendment to said
Bylaws shall be adopted which would affect or impair the validity or priority of
any mortgage covering any Condominium Parcel.

XI.      MAINTENANCE.

         A. Each Unit, and the furniture,  furnishings,  fixtures, equipment and
appliances  comprising a part thereof,  located therein,  or exclusively serving
the same shall be  maintained,  kept in good  repair and  replaced by and at the
expense of the Owner(s)  thereof.  All maintenance,  repairs or replacements for
which Unit Owners are  responsible  and  obligated to perform shall be performed
promptly  as the need  arises.  Each Unit Owner shall  provide for pest  control
within his or her Unit. Provided,  however, the Board of Directors may determine
that it is in the best interest of the  Condominium  to provide for pest control
on a building-by-building basis and in such event may so provide.

         B. The Association shall be responsible for (i) maintaining,  repairing
and replacing,  as needed,  all portions of the Common  Elements and Association
Property other than the Condominium  Buildings and (ii) performing  maintenance,
repairs and  replacements,  as needed,  of the Condominium  Buildings where such
maintenance,  repairs and replacement  primarily  benefit both Unit Owners.  The
Association  shall,  at the expense of all Unit  Owners,  repair all  incidental
damage  to  Units  resulting  from the  Association's  maintenance,  repairs  or
replacement of or to Common Elements and Association Property. The Association's
expenses of maintenance,  repairs and replacement  with respect to a Condominium
Building  shall be  assessed  against  each Unit  Owner in  accordance  with the
percentages  of benefit  realized by each Unit on account of same, as reasonably
determined  by the  Association.  The  Association's  expenses  of  maintenance,
repairs  and  replacement  with  respect  to  the  Common  Elements  other  than
Condominium  Buildings  shall be assessed  against each Unit Owner in accordance
with the ratio  between  the  square  footage  of its Unit and the total  square
footage of both Units.

         C. Where any  maintenance,  repair and/or  replacement of a Condominium
Building  is needed,  and such  maintenance,  repairs  and/or  replacement  will
primarily  benefit only one Unit, the Owner of that Unit will be responsible for
performing  and  paying  for  such  maintenance,   repair  and/or   replacement.
Notwithstanding  the preceding  sentence,  if such  maintenance,  repairs and/or
replacement  will  confer  any  benefit  on the  Owner of the  other  Unit,  the
Association  shall  assess the other Unit Owner for the value of such benefit as
determined  by the  Association  in its  reasonable  discretion  and remit  such
assessment  to the Unit Owner who  performed  such  maintenance,  repair  and/or
replacement.

         D. The responsibility for the maintenance, repair, and replacement, and
the cost of keeping clean and in orderly condition the fences, pools, awnings or
any other improvements or personal property forming a part of the Limited Common
Elements which exclusively serve 

                                      -10-

<PAGE>

a certain Unit or Units to the  exclusion  of other  Units, shall be borne by the
Owner(s) of the Unit(s) to which the same are appurtenant.

         E. In the event a Unit  Owner  fails to  maintain  his Unit and  Common
Elements or Limited Common Elements as required herein,  or makes any alteration
or additions without the required consent, or otherwise violates or threatens to
violate the provisions of this Declaration  relevant to maintenance,  alteration
and repair,  the Association  shall have the right to perform such  maintenance,
remove any unauthorized addition or alteration, and restore the property to good
repair and condition and charge the Unit Owner therefor.

         F. All maintenance,  repairs and/or replacement by Unit Owners shall be
subject to the  provisions  of Article VII above  regarding  alterations  of and
improvements to Units and Common Elements.

XII.  COMMON EXPENSES AND COMMON SURPLUS.

         A. Common  Expenses  shall  include the  Association's  expenses of the
operation,  maintenance,  repair  or  replacement  of the  Common  Elements  and
Association  Property,  costs of  carrying  out the  powers  and  duties  of the
Association,  costs of  maintaining  any  facilities  and property  owned by the
Association,  and  any  other  expense  designated  as  Common  Expenses  by the
Condominium  Act, this  Declaration or the Bylaws.  The cost of a master antenna
television system or duly franchised cable television  service obtained pursuant
to a bulk contract  shall be deemed a Common Expense if so approved by the Board
of  Directors.  Common  Expenses,  to the  extent  so  approved  by the Board of
Directors, will also include reasonable  transportation services,  insurance for
directors and officers,  road maintenance and operation  expenses and restricted
access or roving patrol  services,  all of which are  reasonably  related to the
general  benefit of the Unit Owners,  even if such expenses do not attach to the
Common Elements or Condominium Property.

         B. Common Expenses shall be assessed  against Unit Owners in accordance
with the  fraction  set forth for such Unit in Exhibit "B"  attached  hereto and
made a part hereof.

         C. The  Common  Surplus,  if any,  shall be owned by Unit  Owners  in a
proportion  equal to those  proportions  of ownership in the Common  Elements as
provided in this Declaration.

XIII.    ASSESSMENTS: LIABILITY, LIENS, PRIORITY, INTEREST AND
         COLLECTIONS.

         A. The  Association,  through  its Board of  Directors,  shall have the
power  to  determine  and fix the  sums  necessary  to  provide  for the  Common
Expenses,  including  the  expense  allocable  to services  being  rendered by a
management company with whom the Association may contract. The annual Assessment
shall initially be payable monthly in advance;  however,  the Board of Directors
shall have the power to  establish  other  collection  procedures. 

                                      -11-

<PAGE>

The Board of Directors may include sums to establish reasonable reserves against
future  contingencies  in each annual  Assessment,  which reserves may be waived
from time to time by the required percentage of votes of the Owners.

         B. A Unit Owner, regardless of the manner in which he acquired title to
his Unit including, without limitation, a purchaser at a judicial sale, shall be
liable for all Assessments  while he is the Owner of a Unit. A grantee of a Unit
shall  be  jointly  and  severally  liable  with  the  grantor  for  all  unpaid
Assessments  against  the latter for his share of the Common  Expenses up to the
time of the conveyance, except that the liability for prior Assessments of first
Mortgagees  acquiring  title through  foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure
shall be limited to the lesser of: (i) the Unit's  unpaid  Common  Expenses  and
regular periodic assessments which accrued or came due during the six (6) months
immediately preceding the acquisition of title and for which payment in full has
not been received by the Association,  or (ii) one percent (I %) of the original
mortgage debt. The liability for Assessments may not be avoided by waiver of the
use or enjoyment of any Common Elements,  services or recreation facilities,  or
by  abandonment  of  the  Unit  against  which  the  Assessment  was  made.  The
Association may charge an administrative  late fee, in addition to interest,  on
any late  Assessment  payments not to exceed the maximum amount  permitted under
the Condominium Act.

         C.  Assessments and  installments  thereof not paid when due shall bear
interest  from the due date until paid at the maximum rate  allowed  under Texas
law. The Association may charge, in addition to the interest,  an administrative
late charge for  Assessments  not paid when due in an amount  established by the
Board  of  Directors  from  time to  time,  but not to  exceed  the  greater  of
Twenty-Five  Dollars ($25.00) or five percent (5%) of each  installment.  If the
delinquent installment(s) of Assessments and any charges thereon are not paid in
full when due,  the  Association  at its  option  may,  in  accordance  with the
requirements  of the Condominium  Act,  declare all of the unpaid balance of the
annual  Assessment to be immediately  due and payable without further demand and
may  enforce  the  collection  thereof  and all  charges  thereon  in the manner
authorized by law and this Declaration.

         Any payment  received by the Association  shall be applied first to any
interest accrued by the Association,  then to any administrative  late fee, then
to any costs and reasonable attorney's fees incurred in collection,  and then to
the delinquent Assessment. The foregoing shall be applicable notwithstanding any
restrictive  endorsement,  designation or instruction in or  accompanying by the
payment.

         D. The Association  shall have a lien upon each  Condominium  Parcel to
secure  the  personal  obligation  of each Unit  Owner  thereof  for any  unpaid
Assessment  and  interest  thereon.  Such  lien  shall  also  secure  reasonable
attorney's fees incurred by the  Association  incident to the collection of such
Assessment or  enforcement  of such lien. The lien shall be evidenced by a claim
recorded  among the public  records of the County in the manner  provided by the
Condominium  Act.  As to other than first  mortgages  of record,  the lien shall
relate back to the recording of the original Declaration of Condominium creating
the Unit. As to first mortgages of record,  the lien shall be effective from and
as of the time of such recording. The Board of

                                      -12-

<PAGE>
Directors may take such action as it deems  necessary to collect  Assessments by
either an in personam  action or lien  foreclosure,  or both, and may settle and
compromise the same if in the best interest of the Association. Said liens shall
have the priorities established by the Condominium Act.

         E. Liens for  Assessments may be foreclosed by suit brought in the name
of the  Association  in the  manner  as a  foreclosure  of a  mortgage  on  real
property. In any such foreclosure, the court, in its discretion, may require the
Unit Owner to pay a reasonable  rental for the Condominium  Parcel and the court
may appoint a receiver to collect the Assessments  which are the subject of said
proceeding.  The Association  may bid for the Condominium  Parcel at foreclosure
sale and apply as a cash  credit  against  its bid all sums due the  Association
secured by the lien being  enforced,  and the  Association may acquire and hold,
lease, mortgage and convey any Condominium Parcel so acquired.

         F. Any unpaid share of Common Expenses or Assessments for which a first
mortgage  Mortgagee is relieved  from  liability  under the  provisions  of this
Declaration  shall be deemed to be a Common Expense,  collectible  from all Unit
Owners,  including the acquirer of the  Condominium  Parcel,  his successors and
assigns.  A first mortgage Mortgagee may not, during the period of its ownership
of such Parcel,  whether or not such Parcel is  unoccupied,  be excused from the
payment  of some or all of the Common  Expenses  coming due during the period of
such ownership.

XIV.  CREATION OF CONDOMINIUM.

         A. If all Unit Owners and Mortgagees of Condominium Parcels execute and
duly record an instrument  terminating  the Condominium  Property,  or if "major
damage" occurs as defined hereinafter, the Condominium Property shall be removed
from the provisions of the Condominium Act and thereafter owned in common by the
Unit Owners. The undivided interest in the Property owned in common by each Unit
Owner shall then be the fractional  share of the undivided  interest  previously
owned by such Owner in the Common  Elements,  and any liens which  encumber  any
Condominium  Parcel shall be transferred to said undivided  interest of the Unit
Owner in the Property.

         B. If the Owners of at least  eighty five  percent (85 %) of the Common
Elements elect to terminate,  they shall have the option to buy the Units of the
other Unit  Owners for a period of sixty (60) days from the date of the  meeting
wherein the election to  terminate  was taken.  The purchase  price shall be the
fair market value of the Units as of the date of said meeting as  determined  by
arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration  Association.  The price
shall be paid in cash within thirty (30) days of the  determination of the same.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no termination shall be effective unless approved
by at least the majority of the  Mortgagees  (based upon one vote for each first
mortgage owned).

XV.      EQUITABLE RELIEF.


                                      -13-
<PAGE>

         In  the  event  of  "major  damage"  to  or  destruction  of  all  or a
substantial  part  of  the  Condominium  Property  and if  the  Property  is not
repaired,  reconstructed or rebuilt within a reasonable period of time, any Unit
Owner shall have the right to  petition a court of  competent  jurisdiction  for
equitable relief which may, but need not, include termination of the Condominium
and partition.

XVI.     LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

         A. The  liability  of each Unit  Owner  for  Common  Expenses  shall be
limited to the amounts assessed against him from time to time in accordance with
the Condominium Act, this Declaration, the Articles and the Bylaws.

         B. A Unit Owner may be personally  liable for any damages caused by the
Association in connection with the use of the Common  Elements,  but only to the
extent of his or her pro rata  share of that  liability  in the same  fractional
share  as his  interest  in the  Common  Elements,  and in no event  shall  said
liability  exceed  the value of his Unit.  Each Unit  Owner  shall be liable for
injuries  or  damages  resulting  from an  accident  in his own Unit to the same
extent and degree that the owner of a house or any other property owner would be
liable for such an occurrence.

         C. In any legal  action  in which the  Association  may be  exposed  to
liability in excess of insurance coverage protecting it and the Unit Owners, the
Association  shall give notice of the exposure  within a reasonable  time to all
Unit  Owners,  and they shall have a right to intervene in and defend any action
arising therefrom.

XVII.  LIENS.

         A. No liens of any nature shall arise or be created  subsequent  to the
recording of this Declaration against the Condominium Property (as distinguished
from individual Units) without the unanimous consent of the Unit Owners.

         B. Unless a Unit Owner has  expressly  requested  or  consented to work
being  performed  or  materials  being  furnished  to his  Unit,  such  labor or
materials  may not be the basis for the filing of a lien against  same. No labor
performed or materials furnished to the Common Elements and Association Property
shall be the basis for a lien thereon unless  authorized by the Association,  in
which  event,  the same may be the basis for the  filing of a lien  against  all
Condominium  Parcels in the  proportions for which the Owners thereof are liable
for Common Expenses.

         C. In the event a lien against two or more Condominium  Parcels becomes
effective,  each Owner thereof may release his Condominium  Parcel from the lien
by paying the proportionate  amount attributable to his Condominium Parcel. Upon
such payment,  it shall be the duty of the lien or to release the lien of record
from such Condominium Parcel.

                                      -14-

<PAGE>
XVIII.  EASEMENTS.
                    

         A. An easement  shall exist for  pedestrian  traffic over,  through and
across  sidewalks,  hallways,  paths,  walks, and stairs,  and for vehicular and
pedestrian traffic over, through and across such portions of the Common Elements
as may from time to time be intended for such  purposes.  All of such  easements
shall be for the use and  benefit  of the Unit  Owners  and their  invitees  and
licensees;  provided,  however,  nothing  herein  shall be  construed to give or
create  in any  person  the right to park upon any  portion  of the  Condominium
Property  except to the extent  that space may be  specifically  designated  and
assigned for parking purposes or otherwise  approved by the Association for such
parking.

         B. The Condominium Property shall be subject to perpetual easements for
encroachments  presently existing or which may hereafter be caused by settlement
or movement of the Condominium  Building or minor  inaccuracies in construction,
which easements shall continue until such  encroachments no longer exist. If the
Condominium  Property  is  destroyed  and  then  rebuilt,  encroachments  due to
reconstruction  shall be permitted and a valid  easement for said  encroachments
shall exist. If any portion of the Common Elements  encroaches upon any Unit, or
any Unit encroaches upon the Common Elements,  as a result of the  construction,
reconstruction,  repair, shifting,  settlement or movement of any portion of the
improvements  contained in the  Condominium  Property,  a valid easement for the
encroachment  and for the  maintenance  of the same  shall  exist so long as the
encroachment exists.

         C. The  Condominium  Property  shall be subject to such  easements  for
utilities as may be  determined by the  Association  or required to properly and
adequately  serve the Condominium  Property as it exists from time to time. Each
of said easements,  whether  heretofore or hereafter  created,  shall constitute
covenants  running with the land of the  Condominium  and,  notwithstanding  any
other  provisions  of this  Declaration,  may not be  substantially  amended  or
revoked in such a way as to unreasonably  interfere with its proper and intended
use and purpose and shall survive the  termination  of the  Condominium.  To the
extent that the  creation of any such utility  easements  require the joinder of
Unit Owners,  the Association by its duly authorized  officers may, as the agent
or the  attorney-in-fact for the Unit Owners,  execute,  acknowledge and deliver
such  instruments;  and the Unit  Owners,  by the  acceptance  of deeds to their
Units, irrevocably nominate, constitute and appoint the Association, through its
duly authorized  officers,  as their proper and legal  attorney-in-fact for such
purpose.  Said  appointment  is  coupled  with  an  interest  and  is  therefore
irrevocable.  Any such instrument executed pursuant to this Article shall recite
that it is made pursuant to this Article.

XIX.     USE AND TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS.

         In order to provide for congenial occupancy of the Condominium Property
and for the  protection  of the value of the Units,  the use of the  Condominium
Property shall be in accordance  with the following  provisions,  so long as the
Condominium exists:


                                      -15-

<PAGE>
         A. No use  shall  be made of any  Unit  or of the  Common  Elements  or
Limited  Common  Elements  which will  increase the rate of  insurance  upon the
Condominium  Property without the prior written consent of the  Association.  No
Unit Owner shall permit anything to be done or kept in his Unit or in the Common
Elements  which will result in a  cancellation  or  insurance on any Unit or any
part of the Common Elements, or which will be in violation of any law, including
without  limitation  any law,  rule or regulation  governing  the storage,  use,
generation,  or  disposal of  hazardous  or toxic  materials.  No waste shall be
committed in the Common Elements.

         B. No sign of any kind shall be displayed to public view on or from any
Unit or the Common  Elements  without the prior written  consent of the Board of
Directors, which may be withheld in their sole discretion.


         C. The Common  Elements and Limited Common  Elements shall be used only
for the purposes for which they are intended in the  furnishing  of services and
facilities  for  enjoyment  of the  Units.  There  shall  be no  obstruction  or
alteration  of, nor shall  anything  be stored,  altered or  constructed  in, or
removed from, the Common Elements of Limited Common Elements without the written
consent of the Association.

         D. No  obnoxious or offensive  activities  shall be permitted  upon the
Condominium  Property  nor any use or  practice  which is a nuisance to any Unit
Owner or its  invitees  or  licensees,  or which  interferes  with the  peaceful
possession and proper use of the  Condominium  Property by each Unit Owner.  All
parts  of the  Condominium  Property  shall  be  kept in a  clean  and  sanitary
condition and no rubbish, refuse, or garbage shall be allowed to accumulate, nor
shall any fire hazard be allowed to exist.

         E. No immoral, improper, offensive or unlawful use shall be made of the
Condominium  Property  or of  any  part  thereof  and  all  valid  laws,  zoning
ordinances  and  regulations  of all  governmental  bodies  having  jurisdiction
thereof shall be observed.  The  responsibility  of meeting the  requirements of
governmental  bodies  pertaining to  maintenance,  replacement,  modification or
repair of the  Condominium  Property  shall be the same as is  elsewhere  herein
specified.

         F. No Unit Owner  shall cause  anything  to be affixed or attached  to,
hung, displayed or placed on the exterior walls, doors,  balconies or windows of
the  Building  (including  but not limited to awnings,  signs,  storm  shutters,
screens,  furniture,  fixtures  and  equipment),  nor  plant or grow any type of
shrubbery,  flower,  tree,  vine,  grass or other  plant life  outside its Unit,
without the prior  written  consent of the  Association,  subject  always to the
provisions hereof.

         G. No parking of boats, trailers,  motor homes or recreational vehicles
shall be permitted on any part of the Condominium Property.

                                      -16-
<PAGE>
         H.  Reasonable   regulations  and  rules  concerning  the  use  of  the
Condominium  Property may be promulgated,  modified or amended from time to time
by the Board.  Copies of such rules and regulations and amendments thereto shall
be  furnished  by the  Association  to all  Unit  Owners  and  residents  of the
Condominium  upon request.  The Association  shall have the right to enforce all
restrictions  set forth in this Article and in the  Declaration in any manner it
deems necessary including,  without limitation,  suits for injunctions,  actions
for damages, or fines.

         I. Each Unit Owner shall continuously  operate in its Unit the business
operated in such Unit as of the recording  date of this  Declaration  (the "Main
Business") in accordance with legal requirements  including licensure applicable
to such Main Business. Specifically, Unit A is and shall continue to be operated
as a Skilled Nursing  Facility,  and Unit B is and shall continue to be operated
as an Assisted  Life Care  Facility.  The services  operated in each Unit may be
supplemented as follows:

         1. Unit A can add  services  whose  acuity/skill  level is higher  than
services it currently provides under its Main Business.

         2.  Unit B can add  services  whose  acuity/skill  level is lower  than
services it currently provides under its Main Business.

         3. Each Unit shall be entitled to add services that are permitted under
the  applicable  license,  if any, that  specifically  governs the Main Business
conducted in the Unit.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Unit B shall not
be  permitted  to  include a  segregated  and  secured  Alzheimers  ward  unless
permitted by applicable law.

         4. Each Unit shall be entitled  to add other  health  related  services
that are not part of its Main Business and non-health  related  services so long
as such  services as described in this  sentence are  complementary  to the Main
Business.

         5. If any change and/or  supplement of use  materially  increases  that
Unit's usage of utilities  which are not  separately  metered,  the  Association
shall  assess  the  Owner of such  Unit  for the  charges  attributable  to such
increased usage as reasonably determined by the Association.

         6. No Unit shall add services  not  described  above  without the prior
written consent of the Owner of the other Unit, which consent can be arbitrarily
withheld in the sole and absolute  discretion of such Owner.  The decision of an
Owner  as  contemplated  by the  preceding  sentence  shall  not be  subject  to
arbitration,  mediation,  litigation or other  challenge on any basis  including
without limitation a claim that the Owner's decision is unreasonable.

         J.  Neither Unit Owner shall sell,  lease or enter into any  management
agreement  in respect of the Unit owned by it at anytime  after the date  hereof
without the prior written  consent of the other Unit owner,  which consent shall
not be unreasonably  withheld;  provided,  however, that nothing herein shall be
construed as (A)  requiring any  non-affiliated  bona fide lender of either Unit
owner to secure the  consent of the other Unit  owner  prior to  exercising  its
remedies 

                                      -17-

<PAGE>
in the event of a default under any applicable  loan documents,  including,  but
not limited, to (i) the appointment of a temporary manager or receiver, (ii) the
conducting of a foreclosure  sale with respect to the affected Unit or (iii) the
transfer of title to either Unit by deed in lieu of foreclosure or (B) binding a
purchaser  at such a  foreclosure  sale or party taking title by deed in lieu of
foreclosure to the consent  provisions of this Section,  it being understood and
agreed that such a lender or purchaser  including any Mortgagee shall take title
to the Unit free and clear of any such consent  requirement  and  thereafter the
consent  requirements  of this Section  shall be deemed to be null and void with
respect to the Unit so conveyed; provided, further, that nothing herein shall be
construed as requiring  the consent of either Unit Owner to the execution by the
other party of a management  agreement or lease with an entity under the same or
common control with the contracting party.

XX.      INSURANCE.

         A. Purchase of Insurance by Association.  The Association shall use its
best  efforts  to  obtain  and  maintain  adequate   insurance  to  protect  the
Association and the Common Elements and Association  Property.  The premiums for
such coverage and other  expenses in  connection  with said  insurance  shall be
assessed  against  the Unit  Owners as part of the  Common  Expenses.  The named
insured shall be the Association, individually and as agent for the Unit Owners,
without naming them, and as agent for their  Mortgagees.  The Association  shall
not maintain insurance coverage  specifically required by this Declaration to be
maintained by the Unit Owners.
Specific insurance to be maintained by the Association is as follows:

         1.       comprehensive  general  public  liability and property  damage
                  insurance with respect to the Common  Elements and Association
                  Property  in  which  the  limits  of  public  liability  shall
                  initially  be not  less  than  $1,000,000.00  per  person  and
                  $5,000,000.00  per accident  and in which the property  damage
                  liability  shall be not less than  $1,000,000.00.  Such policy
                  limits  shall  be  increased   consistent  with   commercially
                  reasonable practices on a periodic basis.

         2.       comprehensive  coverage  on  boiler  and  machinery  equipment
                  comprising   part  of  the  Common  Elements  and  Association
                  Property, including electrical apparatus, if applicable.

         3.       hazard insurance  against perils  customarily  included within
                  all-risk and fire and extended coverage, including earthquake,
                  flood and hurricane,  on  improvements  comprising part of the
                  Common Elements and Association Property in an amount equal to
                  the full replacement value thereof at the time of loss.

         4.       Worker's  compensation  insurance meeting all the requirements
                  of the laws of  Texas  to the  extent  the  Association  hires
                  employees.

         5.       Directors and officers liability insurance, if available.

         6.       Such other insurance as the Board of Directors shall determine
                  from  time  to  time  to  be  desirable,   including,  without
                  limitation, such insurance as may be required by any agency of
                  the United  States  government  which  holds a first  mortgage
                  encumbering  a Unit  or  insures  to the  holder  thereof  the
                  payment of the same.

         B.  Additional  Requirements:  Additional  requirements  of Association
insurance are as follows:

         1.       Every hazard  policy which is issued to protect a  Condominium
                  Building shall provide that the word "building"  wherever used
                  in the policy  includes,  but is not  necessarily  limited to,
                  fixtures,  installations or additions  comprising that part of
                  the building within the unfurnished  interior  surfaces of the
                  perimeter  walls,  floors and ceilings of the individual Units
                  initially  installed,  or replacements thereof of like kind or
                  quality,   in   accordance   with  the   original   plans  and
                  specifications.  Provided,  however,  the word "building" does
                  not include Unit floor  coverings,  wall  coverings or ceiling
                  coverings,  or  any  of the  following:  electrical  fixtures,
                  appliances,  water  heaters or  built-in  cabinets  within the
                  Units,  and heating and air  conditioning  equipment,  whether
                  located within or without the Unit.

         2.       All  policies  required to be  maintained  by the  Association
                  shall be written and  underwritten  by solvent and responsible
                  insurance  companies  licensed  to do business in the state of
                  Texas,  which shall have a financial rating as is commercially
                  reasonable  under  the  circumstances  as  determined  by  the
                  Association in its reasonable  discretion.  Deductibles  under
                  the  Association's  policies  of  insurance  shall not  exceed
                  commercially  reasonable  amounts as reasonably  determined by
                  the Association.

         3.       Premiums upon insurance  policies purchased by the Association
                  shall be assessed by the  Association  against the Unit Owners
                  as part of the Common  Expenses.  If, at any time, the cost of
                  the insurance  premiums may be deemed too high,  the Board may
                  adjust  such  insurance  coverage  as  it  deems  prudent  and
                  reasonable.

         C. Purchase of Insurance by Unit Owners: Each Unit Owner shall maintain
the following:

         1.       a  policy  of  comprehensive   general  public  liability  and
                  property  damage  insurance  with respect to its Unit in which
                  the limits of public  liability  shall  initially  be not less
                  than  $1,000,000.00  per person and $5,000,000.00 per accident
                  and in which the property  damage  liability shall be not less
                  than  $1,000,000.00.  Such policy  limits  shall be  increased
                  consistent  with  commercially   reasonable   practices  on  a
                  periodic basis.

         2.       insurance against perils customarily  included within all-risk
                  and fire and extended coverage,  including  earthquake,  flood
                  and hurricane, on improvements,  furniture, 


                                      -19-
<PAGE>
                  furnishings,  trade  fixtures,  equipment,  and floor and wall
                  coverings  installed  or  located in or made to its Unit in an
                  amount equal to the full replacement value thereof at the time
                  of the loss.

         3.       All  policies  required  to be  maintained  by each Unit Owner
                  shall be written and  underwritten  by solvent and responsible
                  insurance  companies  licensed  to do business in the state of
                  Texas,  which  have  a  financial  rating  as is  commercially
                  reasonable  under  the  circumstances  as  determined  by  the
                  Association in its reasonable discretion.  Deductibles under a
                  Unit   Owner's   policies  of   insurance   shall  not  exceed
                  commercially  reasonable  amounts as reasonably  determined by
                  the  Association.  Policies  carried  by each  Unit  Owner may
                  contain  be  in  one  or  more  blanket,  umbrella  or  excess
                  liability covering other improvements of the Unit Owner.

         D.  Insurance  Held in Trust by  Association;  Shares of Proceeds.  All
hazard insurance  policies purchased by the Association shall be for the benefit
of the Association, the Unit Owners and their Mortgagees, as their interests may
appear,  and shall provide that all proceeds  covering  property losses shall be
paid to the  Association.  The duty of the Association with respect to insurance
proceeds  shall be to receive such  proceeds as are paid and to hold the same in
trust for the purposes  stated herein and for the benefit of the Unit Owners and
their Mortgagees in the following shares, which shares:

         1.       Common  Elements.  Proceeds  on  account  of  damage to Common
                  Elements:  Proceeds  on  account  of  damage  to  improvements
                  comprising  part of the Common  Elements  shall be held in the
                  following undivided shares:

                  a. When a Condominium Building is to be restored, for the Unit
         Owner so  damaged in  proportion  to the cost of  repairing  the damage
         suffered  by each Unit  Owner,  which cost shall be  determined  by the
         Association.

                  b. When a Condominium  Building is not to be restored and such
         Condominium  Building  contains more than one Unit, an undivided  share
         for each Unit Owner,  such share being the ratio  between the appraised
         value of its Unit to the appraised value of both Units, such appraisals
         to determine the respective values as they existed immediately prior to
         the  casualty.  A  Unit  Owner's  undivided  share  described  in  this
         subparagraph  is  sometimes  referred  to in  this  Declaration  as the
         "Appraised Share."

                  c.  When a  Condominium  Building  is not to be  restored  and
         contains  only one Unit, a share for the Owner of the Unit equal to all
         of the insurance  proceeds less (i)  Association  expenses as described
         below,  (ii) the cost of restoring  any  mandatory  facilities to their
         condition as existed immediately prior to the casualty,  (iii) the cost
         of repairing any damage to the other Unit, (iv) the cost of demolishing
         the  damaged  property  or  performing  such other  work as  determined
         necessary by the  Association  to create a harmonious  balance with any
         remaining improvements in the Condominium


                                      -20-

<PAGE>
         which are either  undamaged or will be repaired and (v) the cost of any
         improvements  needed  in  order  to  assure  that  use,  occupancy  and
         operation  of the other  Unit will not be in  violation  of  applicable
         governmental   requirements   including   without   limitation   zoning
         regulations and requirements of applicable license(s).  As used herein,
         "mandatory  facilities"  means any of the  following  that service both
         Units:  kitchen  facilities,  boiler room(s) and mechanical room(s). As
         used in this Article XX and Article XXI below,  a Condominium  Building
         is deemed to contain  only one Unit where the damage is confined to one
         portion of the  Building,  and such damage  primarily  affects only one
         Unit with  negligible  effect on the other Unit other than with respect
         to mandatory facilities.

                  2.  Mortgages.  In the event a Mortgagee  endorsement has been
         issued  as to a Unit,  the share of that  Unit  Owner  shall be held in
         trust for the  Mortgagee  and the Unit Owner,  as their  interests  may
         appear;  provided,  however,  that no Mortgagee shall have any right to
         determine or participate in the  determination as to whether or not any
         damaged property shall be  reconstructed or repaired,  and no Mortgagee
         shall  have any right to apply or have  applied to the  reduction  of a
         mortgage debt any insurance  proceeds except those proceeds paid to the
         Unit  Owner  and   Mortgagee   pursuant  to  the   provisions  of  this
         Declaration.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  if  (i)  an  Owner  has
         assigned  to its  Mortgagee  the  Owner's  right to  receive  insurance
         proceeds  from  the  Association  as such  right  is set  forth in this
         Declaration and (ii) the Owner and its Mortgagee have so instructed the
         Association  in  writing  signed by the Owner  and its  Mortgagee  (the
         "Assignment  Instruction'),  then the Association  shall recognize such
         assignment and, regardless of any subsequent conflicting instruction of
         the Owner, the Association  shall disburse to the Owner's Mortgagee any
         insurance  proceeds  that  Association  would  otherwise be required to
         disburse  to the Owner.  Each  Mortgagee  is an  intended  third  party
         beneficiary of and may enforce the provisions of this paragraph.

         E. Distribution of Proceeds. Proceeds of insurance policies received by
the Association shall be distributed in the following manner:

         1.  Expenses  of the  Association.  All  expenses  of the  Association,
         including  without  limitation  the cost of  appraisals  which shall be
         performed by a MAI  appraiser,  shall be paid first or  provision  made
         therefor.

         2.  Reconstruction  or repair. If the damage for which the proceeds are
         paid is to be repaired or reconstructed,  the remaining  proceeds shall
         be disbursed as provided below to defray the cost thereof. Any proceeds
         remaining  after  defraying  such  costs  shall be  distributed  to the
         beneficial  owners  thereof,  remittances  to  Unit  Owners  and  their
         Mortgagees  being  payable  jointly  to them,  in  accordance  with the
         Appraised Shares;  provided,  however, if the Association is in receipt
         of an  Assignment  Instruction  duly  signed  by an Unit  Owner and its
         Mortgagee, such remaining proceeds that would otherwise be paid jointly
         to the Unit Owner and its  Mortgagee  shall instead be paid directly to
         the  Mortgagee.  This is a covenant for the benefit of any Mortgagee of
         any Unit and may be enforced by such Mortgagee.


                                      -21-

<PAGE>

         3. Failure to reconstruct or repair.  If it is determined in the manner
         elsewhere  provided  that the  damage for which the  proceeds  are paid
         shall not be reconstructed or repaired, the remaining proceeds shall be
         distributed to the beneficial owners thereof, remittance to Unit Owners
         and their  Mortgages  being payable jointly to them. This is a covenant
         for the  benefit of any  Mortgagee  of any Unit and may be  enforced by
         such Mortgagee.

         F.  Association  as  Agent.  The  Association  is  hereby   irrevocably
appointed  agent for each Unit Owner,  for  Mortgagee  and for each owner of any
other  interest  in the  Condominium  Property,  with power to adjust all claims
arising under insurance policies purchased by the Association and to execute and
deliver releases upon the payment of claims.

         G.  The   following   conditions   and   procedures   shall   apply  to
reconstruction  work  (the  "Work")  and  disbursement  of  remaining  insurance
proceeds on account of same:

         1. Performance of Work. The Association shall enter into a construction
         contract  (the  "Construction  Contract")  with  a  general  contractor
         ("Contractor"),  and a  Schedule  of Values  that  allocates  values to
         various  portions  of the Work  will be  included  in the  Construction
         Contract.  The Work  shall  be  constructed  in a good and  workmanlike
         manner.   Only  new,  first  class  materials  shall  be  used  in  the
         performance of the Work.

         2. Affidavit of Commencement.  The Association will not cause or permit
         the  Contractor  to commence  construction  and shall not  disburse any
         funds   to   Contractor,   any   subcontractors,    sub-subcontractors,
         materialmen and laborers until an Affidavit of Commencement is recorded
         pursuant to Section  53.124 of the Texas  Property Code and a certified
         copy  of  such  Affidavit  of  Commencement  has  been  posted  on  the
         construction site.

         3.       Progress Payments.

                  a.  Based  upon  Applications  for  Payment  submitted  to the
Association's architect (the "Architect") by the Contractor and Certificates for
Payment issued by the Architect,  the Association  shall make progress  payments
("Association's  Progress  Payments")  from the  remaining  insurance  proceeds,
payable as hereinafter specified.

                  b. Prior to processing a Progress  Payment,  Association shall
require  that the  Contractor  (i) make all  Applications  for  Payment  on, and
strictly in compliance  with the  requirements  of, AIA Documents  G702-1983 and
G703-1983 and (ii) attach to each Application for Payment:

                           (1) an itemized,  sworn statement showing in complete
detail all monies paid out or costs incurred by the Contractor (including Change
Orders) on account of the Work and  Construction  Contract,  on a trade-by-trade
basis, through the last day of the calendar month for which the Contractor is to
be paid; and

                                      -22-

and laborer, in the amount of at least the amount of the last preceding progress
payment made to each subcontractor,  sub- subcontractor,  materialman,  supplier
and laborer; and

                           (3) a duly and properly  executed  partial release of

preceding progress payment made by Association and Tenant to the Contractor; and

                           (4) a Schedule  of Values  (shown by dollar  amounts)
showing the respective  percentage of completion of the various divisions of the
Work.

                           (5)  Evidence  that  construction  is  proceeding  on
schedule  and that all  construction  prior to the date of the  Application  for
Payment has been completed in a good and  workmanlike  manner in accordance with
the Plans and  Specifications  and as  required by all  inspecting  governmental
authorities having jurisdiction over the Premises.

                  c. In addition to the foregoing,  each Application for Payment
shall include all of the  information  required to be furnished by the aforesaid
AIA Documents.  Each  statement,  partial release of lien and Schedule of Values
referred  to  hereinabove  shall be in such  form and have  such  content  as is
satisfactory to Association in its sole and absolute discretion.

                  d.  Applications  for Payment shall indicate the percentage of
completion  of each  portion of the Work as of the end of the period  covered by
the Application for Payment.

                  e. The amount of each of Association's Progress Payments shall
be computed as follows:

The Progress
Payment payable to
the Contractor under
the Construction           X       the total        (LESS)       Retainage under
Contract   by the                  remaining                     Contract

         4. Final Payment. Final payment, constituting the entire unpaid balance
of the  remaining  insurance  proceeds  as well as any  amounts  assessed by the

sub-subcontractor, materialman, supplier and laborer and such other documents as
Association shall be entitled to under the Mechanic's Lien Law, all in such form
and  having  such  content as is  satisfactory  to  Association  in its sole and
absolute discretion. In the event Contractor does not furnish to Association all
of the aforesaid final releases of lien, then  Association  shall be entitled to
subtract from the amount that Association determines is necessary to transfer to
bond  or to pay  in  full  any  subcontractor,  sub-subcontractor,  materialman,
laborer who has not  furnished a Release of Lien (but no  reduction in the Final
Payment  shall  be made if the  Contractor  posts a cash  bond or  other  surety

Condominium Building(s) or applicable portion thereof.

XXI. RECONSTRUCTION OR REPAIR AFTER CASUALTY.

         A.  Determination  to  Reconstruct  or  Repair.  If  any  part  of  the
Condominium  Property is damaged by casualty,  whether it shall be reconstructed
or repaired shall be determined in the following manner:

         1.       Condominium Building:

                  a. Minor damage.  If less than 75% of the square  footage of a
         Unit  is  damaged  or  destroyed,   the  damaged   property   shall  be
         reconstructed  or  repaired  unless,  within  sixty (60) days after the
         casualty,   the  Unit   Owners   agree  in  writing   to  forego   such
         reconstruction  or repair and such decision is approved by at least the
         majority of the Mortgagees (based upon one vote for each first mortgage
         owned).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the actual cost of restoring
         the affected Unit in  accordance  with then  existing  applicable  laws
         exceeds 110% of the actual insurance  proceeds available under required
         policies of insurance plus deductible amounts, then the damage shall be
         deemed Major damage as addressed below.


                                      -24-
<PAGE>

                  b. Major damage.  If more than 75% of the square  footage of a
         Unit is damaged or  destroyed,  or if the actual cost of restoring  the
         affected Unit in accordance with then existing  applicable laws exceeds
         110% of the actual insurance proceeds available under required policies
         of  insurance  plus  deductible  amounts,  the damaged  property  shall
         neither be reconstructed  nor repaired  unless,  within sixty (60) days
         after  the  casualty,  the  Owner  of the  affected  Unit  directs  the
         Association to effect such reconstruction or repair.

         B.  Plans and  Specifications.  Any  reconstruction  or repair  must be
substantially in accordance with the plans and  specifications  for the original
Condominium   Property;   or,  if  not,  then  in  accordance   with  plans  and
specifications  approved  by the Board of  Directors.  Any  reconstruction  that
materially and substantially  deviates from the configuration and quality of the
original  Condominium  Property  as it existed  prior to the  reconstruction  or
repair must be approved by at least the majority of the  Mortgagees  (based upon
one vote for each first mortgage owned).

         C. Responsibility. If the damage is only to those portions of a Unit or
Units for which the responsibility of maintenance and repair is that of the Unit
Owner(s),  then the Unit Owner(s) shall be responsible  for  reconstruction  and
repair after casualty.  In all other  instances,  it shall be the  Association's
responsibility to reconstruct and repair after casualty.

         D.  Estimate of Costs.  Immediately  after a  determination  is made to
rebuild  or  repair  damage  to  property  for  which  the  Association  has the
responsibility  for  reconstruction  and  repair,  the  Association  shall offer
reliable and detailed estimates of the cost to rebuild or repair.

         E.  Assessments.  If the proceeds of insurance  are not  sufficient  to
defray the estimated costs of reconstruction  and repair by the Association,  or
if at  any  time  during  reconstruction  and  repair,  or  upon  completion  of
reconstruction  or repair,  the funds for the  payment of the costs  thereof are
insufficient,  Assessments  shall be made against all Unit Owners in  sufficient
amounts to provide funds for the payment of such costs.

XXII.    EMINENT DOMAIN OR CONDEMNATION PROCEEDING.

         If  eminent  domain  or  condemnation   proceedings  are   successfully
litigated  against  all or any  part of the  Condominium  Property,  the  entire
eminent domain or  condemnation  award shall be held by the  Association for the
benefit  of itself,  the Unit  Owners and their  Mortgagees  in shares  equal to
shares of insurance proceeds payable on account of casualty.

XXIII.  LIABILITY - GENERALLY.

         A.  General  Provisions.  Notwithstanding  anything  contained  in this
Declaration, the Articles, Bylaws or rules and regulations of the Association or

or welfare  of any  Owner,  occupant  or user of any  portion  of the  Property,
including  without  limitation,  residents,  their families,  guests,  invitees,
licensees, agents, servants, contractors or subcontractors, nor for any property
of such persons.

         B.  Specific  Provisions.   Without  limiting  the  generality  of  the
foregoing:

         1.       It is the express  intent of the Property  Documents  that the
                  various   provisions  of  the  Property  Documents  which  are
                  enforceable  by the  Association  and which govern or regulate
                  the  use  of  Property   have  been  written  and  are  to  be
                  interpreted and enforced for the sole purpose of enhancing and
                  maintaining  the  enjoyment  of the  Property  and  the  value
                  thereof.

         2.       The   Association  is  not  empowered  to  enforce  or  ensure
                  compliance  with the laws of the United  States,  the State of
                  Texas or the  County or any other  jurisdiction  or to prevent
                  tortious activities by Owners or third parties.

         3.       The  provisions  of the Property  Documents  setting forth the
                  uses of Assessments which relate to health,  safety or welfare
                  will be  interpreted  and applied only as  limitations  on the
                  uses  of  such  funds  and  not  as  creating  a  duty  of the
                  Association to protect or further the safety or welfare of the
                  persons even if such funds are used for such purposes.

         C. Owner Covenant.  Each Owner, his heirs,  successors and assigns,  by
virtue of his or her acceptance of title, and each other person or entity having
an interest or lien upon, or making the use of, any portion of the Property,  by
virtue of  accepting  such  interest or lien or by making use  thereof,  will be
bound by this  Article and will be deemed to have  automatically  waived any and
all rights,  claims, demands or causes of action against the Association arising
from or connected with any matter for which the liability of the Association has
been disclaimed in this Paragraph.

XXIV.  GENERAL PROVISIONS.

         A. If any provision of this  Declaration,  the Articles,  the Bylaws or
the Condominium Act, or any section,  sentence,  clause,  phrase or word, or the
application  thereof, in any circumstances is held invalid,  the validity of the
remainder of this Declaration, the Articles, the Bylaws, or the Condominium Act,
and the application of any such invalid provision,  section,  sentence,  clause,
phrase, or word in other circumstances shall not be affected thereby.

         B.  Notices to a Unit Owner  shall be sent to the  address of its Unit,
unless the Unit Owner has,  by written  notice to the  Association,  specified a
different  address.  Notices to the Association  shall be delivered by certified
mail to  ______________.  All notices  shall be deemed sent when  deposited in a
depository  of  the  United  States  Postal  Service,   properly  addressed  and
containing  sufficient postage.  Any party may change his or its mailing address
by written notice to the other party.

                                      -26-

<PAGE>

         C. All remedies for violation  provided by the Condominium Act shall be
in full force and effect.  In addition  thereto,  should the Association find it
necessary  to  institute  legal action upon a finding by a court in favor of the
Association,  the defendant Unit Owner shall  reimburse the  Association for its
costs of suit, including reasonable  attorney's fees at both trial and appellate
levels, in bankruptcy or in post-judgment collection, incurred by it in bringing
such action.

         D.  Whenever  the context so  requires,  the use of any gender shall be
deemed to include all genders, the use of the plural shall include the singular,
and the singular shall include the plural.

         E. The provisions of this Declaration  shall be liberally  construed to
effectuate  its  purpose of  creating a uniform  plan for the  operation  of the
Condominium.

                               SERVICES AGREEMENT



         This Services  Agreement  ("Agreement")  is made and entered into as of

         WHEREAS,  ILC is the owner of that portion of the  facility  located at
5550 Harvest Hill Road,  Dallas,  Texas  designated for assisted living services
(the "ALF"), as further set forth in that certain condominium declaration, dated
as of , by and between the parties hereto ("Condominium Declaration"); and

         WHEREAS,  CGT is the owner of that portion of the  facility  located at

         WHEREAS,  this Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions upon which
CGT will provide certain services to ILC at the ALF; and

         WHEREAS,  CGT  shall be an  independent  contractor  and  shall  retain

         NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the  foregoing  and the  mutual
covenants and agreements herein contained,  CGT and ILC, intending to be legally
bound, agree as follows:


                                    ARTICLE I

interest at the rate of 1% per month from the date due to the date paid in full.
Further,  in the event that any payment  required to be made to CGT hereon shall
remain  unpaid  after the same becomes due, ILC shall pay to CGT, in addition to
all other amounts payable hereunder, and not as a penalty but as the agreed cost

"C," attached  hereto and made a part hereof.  Together  with this  Declaration,
Exhibits  "A",  "B" and "C" include  sufficient  detail to  identify  the Common
Elements and each Unit in the Condominium and provide  accurate  representations
of their locations and dimensions.

V.       COMMON ELEMENTS.

         4.  Easements of support which are hereby created in every portion of a
Unit which contributes to the support of a Condominium Building.

         5. The  property  and  installations  required  for the  furnishing  of
Utility  Services and other services to more than one Unit, the Common  Elements
or a Unit other than the Unit containing the installation.

other openings in the exterior or interior walls of Units, where applicable.

VI.      LIMITED COMMON ELEMENTS.

         There  are  Limited  Common  Elements  appurtenant  to  Units  in  this
Condominium,  as reflected by the plot plan and survey  attached as Exhibit "C,"
which shall  include,  but not be limited to, pool areas,  awnings and fenced-in
areas which are specifically  designated and delineated and accessible only from
the Unit to which  they are  appurtenant.  These  Limited  Common  Elements  are
reserved  for the use of the Unit to which they are  appurtenant  or assigned to
the  exclusion  of  other  Units,  and  there  shall  pass  with  a  Unit  as an
appurtenance  thereto the exclusive  right to use the Limited Common Elements so
appurtenant or assigned.

VII. ALTERATIONS OF AND IMPROVEMENTS TO UNITS AND COMMON
ELEMENTS.

         A. Except in accordance with this Article, no Unit Owner shall make any
addition,  alteration or improvement  in or to his Unit, the Common  Elements or
Limited  Common  Elements to the extent that any such  addition,  alteration  or
improvement   (i)  is  visible   outside  of  the  Units  or  (ii)  affects  any
load-bearing, mechanical, electrical, plumbing or roof portions of a Condominium
Building  that  contains  more  than  one  Unit.  Any  addition,  alteration  or
improvement  as  contemplated  by the  preceding  sentence  is  referred to as a
Restricted  Improvement.  No Restricted  Improvement may be erected,  installed,
maintained or removed on the Condominium Property,  until an application for the
Restricted  Improvement setting forth the design,  construction,  specifications
and a plan showing the location of the structure has been approved in writing by
the Board of Directors (or an architectural review committee appointed by it) as
to quality, design and materials, harmony with existing structures, and location
with respect to topography  and finished grade  elevation.  Such approval of the
Board of Directors (or its designee) shall not be required in the event that the
Board of Directors (or its designee) fails

                                       -6-

<PAGE>
to respond to the application  within seven (7) business days after receipt of a
written request for same. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall be construed
to lessen the obligation of any Owner to make prompt  application for and obtain
all necessary  governmental permits and other approvals with respect to any such
structure.  In no event shall a Unit Owner make any  alterations in the portions
of the  improvements  of the  Condominium  which  are  to be  maintained  by the
Association, remove any portion thereof, make any additions thereto, do any work
which would  jeopardize  the safety or  soundness  of the  Condominium  Building
containing his Unit, or impair any easement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Board of Directors (or its designee) shall approve the application as it relates
to improvements  required by law, although any aspect of the improvements  which
are discretionary  including but not limited to construction methods,  materials
and/or aesthetic  considerations  shall be subject to reasonable approval of the
Board of Directors (or its designee).  Further, the seven (7) business day prior
notice  requirement  described  above shall be shortened  and/or  eliminated  as
needed to  accommodate  emergency  situations as determined in good faith by the
Unit Owner desiring to make the addition,  alteration or improvement;  provided,
however,  where the prior notice requirement is eliminated  entirely,  such Unit
Owner  shall  nonetheless  submit  the  required  application  to the  Board  of
Directors (or its designee) as soon as reasonably practicable.

         B. A Unit  Owner  making  or  causing  to be made any  such  additions,
alterations or improvements agrees, and shall be deemed to have agreed, for such
Owner,  and his heirs,  personal  representatives,  successors  and assigns,  as
appropriate, to hold the Association,  any manager of the Condominium,  together
with all their  officers,  directors,  and  partners,  and all other Unit Owners
harmless from any liability or damage to the  Condominium  Property and expenses
arising therefrom,  and shall be solely responsible for the maintenance,  repair
and insurance  thereof from and after the date of  installation  or construction
thereof, as may be required by the Association.

VIII.    AMENDMENT OF DECLARATION.

         A. This Declaration may be amended at any regular or special meeting of
Unit Owners called or convened in accordance  with the Bylaws by the affirmative
vote of Owners holding a majority of the total votes.  All  amendments  shall be
evidenced  by a  certificate  executed as required  by the  Condominium  Act and
recorded  among the public  records of the County,  and shall be effective  upon
recording.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  no such amendment shall be effective
unless approved by at least the majority of the Mortgagees  (based upon one vote
for each first mortgage owned).

         B.  Invalidation  of any part of this  Declaration  or of any provision
contained in any plat of the  Condominium  Property or in a conveyance of a Unit
in the  Condominium by judgment,  court order or law shall not affect any of the
other provisions hereof, which shall remain in full force and effect.

IX.      THE ASSOCIATION, ITS POWERS AND RESPONSIBILITIES.

         A. Subject to rights vested herein to the Unit Owners, the operation of
the Condominium shall be vested in the Association;  provided, however, that the
Association  may, to the extent  permitted by the Condominium  Act, by contract,
delegate its maintenance, management and operational duties and obligations. The
Association has been organized as a Texas  non-profit  corporation and a copy of
its Articles is attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit "D."

         B. No Unit Owner,  except a duly  elected  officer of the  Association,
shall have any authority to act for the Association.

         C. All Unit Owners shall  automatically  be members of the  Association
upon  delivery of a deed of  conveyance of fee simple title to a Unit and a Unit
Owner's  membership  shall  terminate  when he or she no longer  owns his or her
Unit.

         D. Unit Owners shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each Unit owned in
accordance  with the voting  privileges  set forth in the  Articles  and Bylaws.
Multiple  owners of a Unit shall  collectively  be  entitled to one (1) vote for
said Unit in  accordance  with voting  privileges  set forth in the Articles and
Bylaws. There shall be no cumulative voting.

         E. The powers and duties of the  Association  shall  include  those set
forth in the Articles, the Bylaws, the Condominium Act, and this Declaration and
shall include, but not be limited to, the following:

         1.       The  irrevocable  right of access  to each Unit at  reasonable
                  hours  as may be  necessary  for the  maintenance,  repair  or
                  replacement  of any  Common  Elements  therein  or  accessible
                  therefrom or another Unit, or at any hour for making emergency
                  repairs  necessary to prevent damage to the Common Elements or
                  to another Unit.

         2.       The power to levy and collect Assessments from Unit Owners and
                  to maintain, repair and replace the Common Elements where such
                  maintenance,  repair and/or  replacement  is not reserved unto
                  the Unit Owners.

         3.       The  keeping of  accounting  records in  accordance  with good
                  accounting  practices and the  Condominium  Act, which records
                  shall be open to inspection by Unit Owners or their authorized
                  representatives  at reasonable times, and written summaries of
                  which shall be  supplied  at least  annually to Unit Owners or
                  their authorized representatives.

         4.       The  power  to  enter  into  contracts  with  others  for  the
                  maintenance,  management,  operation,  repair and servicing of
                  the   Condominium   Property  for  which  the  Association  is
                  responsible. The service and maintenance contracts referred to

                                       -8-

<PAGE>
                  herein  may  delegate  the  Association's  duty  to  maintain,
                  preserve,  repair and  replace the Common  Elements  and other
                  property owned by the Association,  but shall not relieve each
                  Unit Owner from his  personal  responsibility  to maintain and
                  preserve  the  interior  surfaces  of his Unit  and to  paint,
                  clean, decorate, maintain and repair said Unit.

         5.       The power to purchase Units in the Condominium and to acquire,
                  hold, lease, mortgage and convey the same.

         6.       The power to obtain and maintain adequate insurance to protect
                  the  Association  and  the  Common  Elements  and  Association
                  Property.

         7.       The power to acquire  title to  property  or  otherwise  hold,
                  convey,  lease and mortgage  Association  Property for the use
                  and benefit of the Unit Owners.

         8.       The power to adopt and amend  reasonable rules and regulations
                  governing use of the Common Elements and Association Property.

         F. Except as provided by statute in case of condemnation or substantial
loss to the  Units or Common  Elements,  unless  at least  the  majority  of the
Mortgagees  (based upon one vote for each first mortgage owned),  and the Owners
holding a majority of the votes have given their prior  written  approval,  such
approval not to be unreasonably  withheld, the Association shall not be entitled
to:

         1.       By  act  or  omission   seek  to  abandon  or  terminate   the
                  Condominium;

         2.       Change the pro rata interest or  obligations of any individual
                  Unit for the purpose of (i) levying  Assessments or charges or
                  allocating  distributions  of  hazard  insurance  proceeds  or
                  condemnation awards, or (ii) determining the pro rata share of
                  ownership of each Unit in the Common Elements;

         3.       Partition or subdivide any Unit;

         4.       By act or  omission,  seek to abandon,  partition,  subdivide,
                  encumber,  sell or transfer the Common Elements or Association
                  Property;   provided   that  the  granting  of  easements  for
                  Utilities or for other purposes  consistent  with the intended
                  use of the Common  Elements  and  Association  Property by the
                  Owners  shall not be deemed a transfer  within the  meaning of
                  this clause; or

         5.       Use hazard insurance proceeds for losses to any portion of the
                  Condominium   for  other  than  the  repair,   replacement  or
                  reconstruction of such portion.


                                       -9-

<PAGE>
X.       BYLAWS.

         The  administration  of  the  Association  and  the  operation  of  the
Condominium Property shall be governed by the Bylaws of the Association,  a copy
of  which  is  attached  hereto  and  made a part  hereof  as  Exhibit  "E."  No
modification  of or  amendment  to the Bylaws  shall be deemed valid unless duly
adopted as provided in the Bylaws and set forth in or annexed to a duly recorded
amendment to this Declaration  executed in accordance with the provisions of the
Condominium Act. No amendment to said Bylaws shall be adopted which would affect
or impair the  validity or priority of any  mortgage  covering  any  Condominium
Parcel.

XI.      MAINTENANCE.

         A. Each Unit, and the furniture,  furnishings,  fixtures, equipment and
appliances  comprising a part thereof,  located therein,  or exclusively serving
the same shall be  maintained,  kept in good  repair and  replaced by and at the
expense of the Owner(s)  thereof.  All maintenance,  repairs or replacements for
which Unit Owners are  responsible  and  obligated to perform shall be performed
promptly  as the need  arises.  Each Unit Owner shall  provide for pest  control
within his or her Unit. Provided,  however, the Board of Directors may determine
that it is in the best interest of the  Condominium  to provide for pest control
on a building-by-building basis and in such event may so provide.

         B. The Association shall be responsible for (i) maintaining,  repairing
and replacing,  as needed,  all portions of the Common  Elements and Association
Property other than the Condominium  Buildings and (ii) performing  maintenance,
repairs and  replacements,  as needed,  of the Condominium  Buildings where such
maintenance,  repairs and replacement  primarily  benefit both Unit Owners.  The
Association  shall,  at the expense of all Unit  Owners,  repair all  incidental
damage  to  Units  resulting  from the  Association's  maintenance,  repairs  or
replacement of or to Common Elements and Association Property. The Association's
expenses of maintenance,  repairs and replacement  with respect to a Condominium
Building  shall be  assessed  against  each Unit  Owner in  accordance  with the
percentages  of benefit  realized by each Unit on account of same, as reasonably
determined  by the  Association.  The  Association's  expenses  of  maintenance,
repairs  and  replacement  with  respect  to  the  Common  Elements  other  than
Condominium  Buildings  shall be assessed  against each Unit Owner in accordance
with the ratio  between  the  square  footage  of its Unit and the total  square
footage of both Units.

         C. Where any  maintenance,  repair and/or  replacement of a Condominium
Building  is needed,  and such  maintenance,  repairs  and/or  replacement  will
primarily  benefit only one Unit, the Owner of that Unit will be responsible for
performing  and  paying  for  such  maintenance,   repair  and/or   replacement.
Notwithstanding  the preceding  sentence,  if such  maintenance,  repairs and/or
replacement  will  confer  any  benefit  on the  Owner of the  other  Unit,  the
Association  shall  assess the other Unit Owner for the value of such benefit as
determined  by the  Association  in its  reasonable  discretion  and remit  such
assessment  to the Unit Owner who  performed  such  maintenance,  repair  and/or
replacement.


                                      -10-

<PAGE>

         D. The responsibility for the maintenance, repair, and replacement, and
the cost of keeping clean and in orderly condition the fences, pools, awnings or
any other improvements or personal property forming a part of the Limited Common
Elements  which  exclusively  serve a certain Unit or Units to the  exclusion of
other Units, shall be borne by the Owner(s) of the Unit(s) to which the same are
appurtenant.

         E. In the event a Unit  Owner  fails to  maintain  his Unit and  Common
Elements or Limited Common Elements as required herein,  or makes any alteration
or additions without the required consent, or otherwise violates or threatens to
violate the provisions of this Declaration  relevant to maintenance,  alteration
and repair,  the Association  shall have the right to perform such  maintenance,
remove any unauthorized addition or alteration, and restore the property to good
repair and condition and charge the Unit Owner therefor.

         F. All maintenance,  repairs and/or replacement by Unit Owners shall be
subject to the  provisions  of Article VII above  regarding  alterations  of and
improvements to Units and Common Elements.

XII.  COMMON EXPENSES AND COMMON SURPLUS.

         A. Common  Expenses  shall  include the  Association's  expenses of the
operation,  maintenance,  repair  or  replacement  of the  Common  Elements  and
Association  Property,  costs of  carrying  out the  powers  and  duties  of the
Association,  costs of  maintaining  any  facilities  and property  owned by the
Association,  and  any  other  expense  designated  as  Common  Expenses  by the
Condominium  Act, this  Declaration or the Bylaws.  The cost of a master antenna
television system or duly franchised cable television  service obtained pursuant
to a bulk contract  shall be deemed a Common Expense if so approved by the Board
of  Directors.  Common  Expenses,  to the  extent  so  approved  by the Board of
Directors, will also include reasonable  transportation services,  insurance for
directors and officers,  road maintenance and operation  expenses and restricted
access or roving patrol  services,  all of which are  reasonably  related to the
general  benefit of the Unit Owners,  even if such expenses do not attach to the
Common Elements or Condominium Property.

         B. Common Expenses shall be assessed  against Unit Owners in accordance
with the  fraction  set forth for such Unit in Exhibit "B"  attached  hereto and
made a part hereof.

         C. The  Common  Surplus,  if any,  shall be owned by Unit  Owners  in a
proportion  equal to those  proportions  of ownership in the Common  Elements as
provided in this Declaration.

XIII.    ASSESSMENTS: LIABILITY, LIENS, PRIORITY, INTEREST AND
         COLLECTIONS.

         A. The  Association,  through  its Board of  Directors,  shall have the
power  to  determine  and fix the  sums  necessary  to  provide  for the  Common
Expenses,  including  the 
                                      -11-

<PAGE>
expense  allocable to services being rendered by a management  company with whom
the Association may contract.  The annual  Assessment shall initially be payable
monthly in  advance;  however,  the Board of  Directors  shall have the power to
establish other collection  procedures.  The Board of Directors may include sums
to establish  reasonable  reserves  against future  contingencies in each annual
Assessment,  which  reserves  may be waived  from  time to time by the  required
percentage of votes of the Owners.

         B. A Unit Owner, regardless of the manner in which he acquired title to
his Unit including, without limitation, a purchaser at a judicial sale, shall be
liable for all Assessments  while he is the Owner of a Unit. A grantee of a Unit
shall  be  jointly  and  severally  liable  with  the  grantor  for  all  unpaid
Assessments  against  the latter for his share of the Common  Expenses up to the
time of the conveyance, except that the liability for prior Assessments of first
Mortgagees  acquiring  title through  foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure
shall be limited to the lesser of: (i) the Unit's  unpaid  Common  Expenses  and
regular periodic assessments which accrued or came due during the six (6) months
immediately preceding the acquisition of title and for which payment in full has
not been received by the Association,  or (ii) one percent (I %) of the original
mortgage debt. The liability for Assessments may not be avoided by waiver of the
use or enjoyment of any Common Elements,  services or recreation facilities,  or
by  abandonment  of  the  Unit  against  which  the  Assessment  was  made.  The
Association may charge an administrative  late fee, in addition to interest,  on
any late  Assessment  payments not to exceed the maximum amount  permitted under
the Condominium Act.

         C.  Assessments and  installments  thereof not paid when due shall bear
interest  from the due date until paid at the maximum rate  allowed  under Texas
law. The Association may charge, in addition to the interest,  an administrative
late charge for  Assessments  not paid when due in an amount  established by the
Board  of  Directors  from  time to  time,  but not to  exceed  the  greater  of
Twenty-Five  Dollars ($25.00) or five percent (5%) of each  installment.  If the
delinquent installment(s) of Assessments and any charges thereon are not paid in
full when due,  the  Association  at its  option  may,  in  accordance  with the
requirements  of the Condominium  Act,  declare all of the unpaid balance of the
annual  Assessment to be immediately  due and payable without further demand and
may  enforce  the  collection  thereof  and all  charges  thereon  in the manner
authorized by law and this Declaration.

         Any payment  received by the Association  shall be applied first to any
interest accrued by the Association,  then to any administrative  late fee, then
to any costs and reasonable attorney's fees incurred in collection,  and then to
the delinquent Assessment. The foregoing shall be applicable notwithstanding any
restrictive  endorsement,  designation or instruction in or  accompanying by the
payment.

         D. The Association  shall have a lien upon each  Condominium  Parcel to
secure  the  personal  obligation  of each Unit  Owner  thereof  for any  unpaid
Assessment  and  interest  thereon.  Such  lien  shall  also  secure  reasonable
attorney's fees incurred by the  Association  incident to the collection of such
Assessment or  enforcement  of such lien. The lien shall be evidenced by a claim
recorded  among the public  records of the County in the manner  provided by the

                                      -12-

<PAGE>

Condominium  Act.  As to other than first  mortgages  of record,  the lien shall
relate back to the recording of the original Declaration of Condominium creating
the Unit. As to first mortgages of record,  the lien shall be effective from and
as of the time of such recording. The Board of Directors may take such action as
it deems  necessary to collect  Assessments  by either an in personam  action or
lien foreclosure, or both, and may settle and compromise the same if in the best
interest of the Association. Said liens shall have the priorities established by
the Condominium Act.

         E. Liens for  Assessments may be foreclosed by suit brought in the name
of the  Association  in the  manner  as a  foreclosure  of a  mortgage  on  real
property. In any such foreclosure, the court, in its discretion, may require the
Unit Owner to pay a reasonable  rental for the Condominium  Parcel and the court
may appoint a receiver to collect the Assessments  which are the subject of said
proceeding.  The Association  may bid for the Condominium  Parcel at foreclosure
sale and apply as a cash  credit  against  its bid all sums due the  Association
secured by the lien being  enforced,  and the  Association may acquire and hold,
lease, mortgage and convey any Condominium Parcel so acquired.

         F. Any unpaid share of Common Expenses or Assessments for which a first
mortgage  Mortgagee is relieved  from  liability  under the  provisions  of this
Declaration  shall be deemed to be a Common Expense,  collectible  from all Unit
Owners,  including the acquirer of the  Condominium  Parcel,  his successors and
assigns.  A first mortgage Mortgagee may not, during the period of its ownership
of such Parcel,  whether or not such Parcel is  unoccupied,  be excused from the
payment  of some or all of the Common  Expenses  coming due during the period of
such ownership.

XIV.  CREATION OF CONDOMINIUM.

         A. If all Unit Owners and Mortgagees of Condominium Parcels execute and
duly record an instrument  terminating  the Condominium  Property,  or if "major
damage" occurs as defined hereinafter, the Condominium Property shall be removed
from the provisions of the Condominium Act and thereafter owned in common by the
Unit Owners. The undivided interest in the Property owned in common by each Unit
Owner shall then be the fractional  share of the undivided  interest  previously
owned by such Owner in the Common  Elements,  and any liens which  encumber  any
Condominium  Parcel shall be transferred to said undivided  interest of the Unit
Owner in the Property.

         B. If the Owners of at least  eighty five  percent (85 %) of the Common
Elements elect to terminate,  they shall have the option to buy the Units of the
other Unit  Owners for a period of sixty (60) days from the date of the  meeting
wherein the election to  terminate  was taken.  The purchase  price shall be the
fair market value of the Units as of the date of said meeting as  determined  by
arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration  Association.  The price
shall be paid in cash within thirty (30) days of the  determination of the same.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no termination shall be effective unless approved
by at least the majority of the  Mortgagees  (based upon one vote for each first
mortgage owned).


                                      -13-

XV.      EQUITABLE RELIEF.

         In  the  event  of  "major  damage"  to  or  destruction  of  all  or a
substantial  part  of  the  Condominium  Property  and if  the  Property  is not
repaired,  reconstructed or rebuilt within a reasonable period of time, any Unit
Owner shall have the right to  petition a court of  competent  jurisdiction  for
equitable relief which may, but need not, include termination of the Condominium
and partition.

XVI.     LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

         A. The  liability  of each Unit  Owner  for  Common  Expenses  shall be
limited to the amounts assessed against him from time to time in accordance with
the Condominium Act, this Declaration, the Articles and the Bylaws.

         B. A Unit Owner may be personally  liable for any damages caused by the
Association in connection with the use of the Common  Elements,  but only to the
extent of his or her pro rata  share of that  liability  in the same  fractional
share  as his  interest  in the  Common  Elements,  and in no event  shall  said
liability  exceed  the value of his Unit.  Each Unit  Owner  shall be liable for
injuries  or  damages  resulting  from an  accident  in his own Unit to the same
extent and degree that the owner of a house or any other property owner would be
liable for such an occurrence.

         C. In any legal  action  in which the  Association  may be  exposed  to
liability in excess of insurance coverage protecting it and the Unit Owners, the
Association  shall give notice of the exposure  within a reasonable  time to all
Unit  Owners,  and they shall have a right to intervene in and defend any action
arising therefrom.

XVII.  LIENS.

         A. No liens of any nature shall arise or be created  subsequent  to the
recording of this Declaration against the Condominium Property (as distinguished
from individual Units) without the unanimous consent of the Unit Owners.

         B. Unless a Unit Owner has  expressly  requested  or  consented to work
being  performed  or  materials  being  furnished  to his  Unit,  such  labor or
materials  may not be the basis for the filing of a lien against  same. No labor
performed or materials furnished to the Common Elements and Association Property
shall be the basis for a lien thereon unless  authorized by the Association,  in
which  event,  the same may be the basis for the  filing of a lien  against  all
Condominium  Parcels in the  proportions for which the Owners thereof are liable
for Common Expenses.

         C. In the event a lien against two or more Condominium  Parcels becomes
effective,  each Owner thereof may release his Condominium  Parcel from the lien
by paying the

                                      -14-
<PAGE>
proportionate  amount attributable to his Condominium Parcel. Upon such payment,
it shall be the duty of the lien or to  release  the lien of  record  from  such
Condominium Parcel.

XVIII.  EASEMENTS.

         A. An easement  shall exist for  pedestrian  traffic over,  through and
across  sidewalks,  hallways,  paths,  walks, and stairs,  and for vehicular and
pedestrian traffic over, through and across such portions of the Common Elements
as may from time to time be intended for such  purposes.  All of such  easements
shall be for the use and  benefit  of the Unit  Owners  and their  invitees  and
licensees;  provided,  however,  nothing  herein  shall be  construed to give or
create  in any  person  the right to park upon any  portion  of the  Condominium
Property  except to the extent  that space may be  specifically  designated  and
assigned for parking purposes or otherwise  approved by the Association for such
parking.

         B. The Condominium Property shall be subject to perpetual easements for
encroachments  presently existing or which may hereafter be caused by settlement
or movement of the Condominium  Building or minor  inaccuracies in construction,
which easements shall continue until such  encroachments no longer exist. If the
Condominium  Property  is  destroyed  and  then  rebuilt,  encroachments  due to
reconstruction  shall be permitted and a valid  easement for said  encroachments
shall exist. If any portion of the Common Elements  encroaches upon any Unit, or
any Unit encroaches upon the Common Elements,  as a result of the  construction,
reconstruction,  repair, shifting,  settlement or movement of any portion of the
improvements  contained in the  Condominium  Property,  a valid easement for the
encroachment  and for the  maintenance  of the same  shall  exist so long as the
encroachment exists.

         C. The  Condominium  Property  shall be subject to such  easements  for
utilities as may be  determined by the  Association  or required to properly and
adequately  serve the Condominium  Property as it exists from time to time. Each
of said easements,  whether  heretofore or hereafter  created,  shall constitute
covenants  running with the land of the  Condominium  and,  notwithstanding  any
other  provisions  of this  Declaration,  may not be  substantially  amended  or
revoked in such a way as to unreasonably  interfere with its proper and intended
use and purpose and shall survive the  termination  of the  Condominium.  To the
extent that the  creation of any such utility  easements  require the joinder of
Unit Owners,  the Association by its duly authorized  officers may, as the agent
or the  attorney-in-fact for the Unit Owners,  execute,  acknowledge and deliver
such  instruments;  and the Unit  Owners,  by the  acceptance  of deeds to their
Units, irrevocably nominate, constitute and appoint the Association, through its
duly authorized  officers,  as their proper and legal  attorney-in-fact for such
purpose.  Said  appointment  is  coupled  with  an  interest  and  is  therefore
irrevocable.  Any such instrument executed pursuant to this Article shall recite
that it is made pursuant to this Article.

XIX.     USE AND TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS.


                                      -15-

<PAGE>
         In order to provide for congenial occupancy of the Condominium Property
and for the  protection  of the value of the Units,  the use of the  Condominium
Property shall be in accordance  with the following  provisions,  so long as the
Condominium exists:

         A. No use  shall  be made of any  Unit  or of the  Common  Elements  or
Limited  Common  Elements  which will  increase the rate of  insurance  upon the
Condominium  Property without the prior written consent of the  Association.  No
Unit Owner shall permit anything to be done or kept in his Unit or in the Common
Elements  which will result in a  cancellation  or  insurance on any Unit or any
part of the Common Elements, or which will be in violation of any law, including
without  limitation  any law,  rule or regulation  governing  the storage,  use,
generation,  or  disposal of  hazardous  or toxic  materials.  No waste shall be
committed in the Common Elements.

         B. No sign of any kind shall be displayed to public view on or from any
Unit or the Common  Elements  without the prior written  consent of the Board of
Directors, which may be withheld in their sole discretion.

         C. The Common  Elements and Limited Common  Elements shall be used only
for the purposes for which they are intended in the  furnishing  of services and
facilities  for  enjoyment  of the  Units.  There  shall  be no  obstruction  or
alteration  of, nor shall  anything  be stored,  altered or  constructed  in, or
removed from, the Common Elements of Limited Common Elements without the written
consent of the Association.

         D. No  obnoxious or offensive  activities  shall be permitted  upon the
Condominium  Property  nor any use or  practice  which is a nuisance to any Unit
Owner or its  invitees  or  licensees,  or which  interferes  with the  peaceful
possession and proper use of the  Condominium  Property by each Unit Owner.  All
parts  of the  Condominium  Property  shall  be  kept in a  clean  and  sanitary
condition and no rubbish, refuse, or garbage shall be allowed to accumulate, nor
shall any fire hazard be allowed to exist.

         E. No immoral, improper, offensive or unlawful use shall be made of the
Condominium  Property  or of  any  part  thereof  and  all  valid  laws,  zoning
ordinances  and  regulations  of all  governmental  bodies  having  jurisdiction
thereof shall be observed.  The  responsibility  of meeting the  requirements of
governmental  bodies  pertaining to  maintenance,  replacement,  modification or
repair of the  Condominium  Property  shall be the same as is  elsewhere  herein
specified.

         F. No Unit Owner  shall cause  anything  to be affixed or attached  to,
hung, displayed or placed on the exterior walls, doors,  balconies or windows of
the  Building  (including  but not limited to awnings,  signs,  storm  shutters,
screens,  furniture,  fixtures  and  equipment),  nor  plant or grow any type of
shrubbery,  flower,  tree,  vine,  grass or other  plant life  outside its Unit,
without the prior  written  consent of the  Association,  subject  always to the
provisions hereof.

                                      -16-
<PAGE>

         G. No parking of boats, trailers,  motor homes or recreational vehicles
shall be permitted on any part of the Condominium Property.

         H.  Reasonable   regulations  and  rules  concerning  the  use  of  the
Condominium  Property may be promulgated,  modified or amended from time to time
by the Board.  Copies of such rules and regulations and amendments thereto shall
be  furnished  by the  Association  to all  Unit  Owners  and  residents  of the
Condominium  upon request.  The Association  shall have the right to enforce all
restrictions  set forth in this Article and in the  Declaration in any manner it
deems necessary including,  without limitation,  suits for injunctions,  actions
for damages, or fines.

         I. Each Unit Owner shall continuously  operate in its Unit the business
operated in such Unit as of the recording  date of this  Declaration  (the "Main
Business") in accordance with legal requirements  including licensure applicable
to such Main Business. Specifically, Unit A is and shall continue to be operated
as an  Assisted  Life  Care  Facility,  and Unit B is and shall  continue  to be
operated as an Skilled Nursing Facility.  The services operated in each Unit may
be supplemented as follows:

         1.       Unit A can add services whose acuity/skill level is lower than
                  services it currently provides under its Main Business.

         2.       Unit B can add  services  whose  acuity/skill  level is higher
                  than services it currently provides under its Main Business.

         3.       Each Unit shall be entitled to add services that are permitted
                  under  the  applicable  license,  if  any,  that  specifically
                  governs   the   Main   Business   conducted   in   the   Unit.
                  Notwithstanding  the preceding  sentence,  Unit A shall not be
                  permitted to include a segregated and secured  Alzheimers ward
                  unless permitted by applicable law.

         4.       Each  Unit  shall be  entitled  to add  other  health  related
                  services that are not part of its Main Business and non-health
                  related services so long as such services as described in this
                  sentence are complementary to the Main Business.

         5.       If any change and/or  supplement of use  materially  increases
                  that  Unit's  usage  of  utilities  which  are not  separately
                  metered,  the Association  shall assess the Owner of such Unit
                  for the  charges  attributable  to  such  increased  usage  as
                  reasonably determined by the Association.

         6.       No Unit shall add services  not  described  above  without the
                  prior  written  consent of the Owner of the other Unit,  which
                  consent can be  arbitrarily  withheld in the sole and absolute
                  discretion  of  such  Owner.  The  decision  of  an  Owner  as
                  contemplated by the preceding sentence shall not be subject to
                  arbitration,  mediation,  litigation or other challenge on any
                  basis  including  without  limitation a claim that the Owner's
                  decision is unreasonable.


                                      -17-
<PAGE>
    
         J.  Neither Unit Owner shall sell,  lease or enter into any  management
agreement  in respect of the Unit owned by it at anytime  after the date  hereof
without the prior written  consent of the other Unit owner,  which consent shall
not be unreasonably  withheld;  provided,  however, that nothing herein shall be
construed as (A)  requiring any  non-affiliated  bona fide lender of either Unit
owner to secure the  consent of the other Unit  owner  prior to  exercising  its
remedies  in the  event  of a  default  under  any  applicable  loan  documents,
including,  but not limited,  to (i) the  appointment of a temporary  manager or
receiver, (ii) the conducting of a foreclosure sale with respect to the affected
Unit  or  (iii)  the  transfer  of  title  to  either  Unit  by  deed in lieu of
foreclosure  or (B)  binding a  purchaser  at such a  foreclosure  sale or party
taking title by deed in lieu of  foreclosure  to the consent  provisions of this
Section,  it  being  understood  and  agreed  that  such a lender  or  purchaser
including any Mortgagee  shall take title to the Unit free and clear of any such
consent  requirement  and  thereafter the consent  requirements  of this Section
shall be  deemed  to be null  and void  with  respect  to the Unit so  conveyed;
provided,  further,  that nothing  herein  shall be  construed as requiring  the
consent of either Unit Owner to the execution by the other party of a management
agreement  or lease  with an entity  under the same or common  control  with the
contracting party.

XX.      INSURANCE.

         A. Purchase of Insurance by Association.  The Association shall use its
best  efforts  to  obtain  and  maintain  adequate   insurance  to  protect  the
Association and the Common Elements and Association  Property.  The premiums for
such coverage and other  expenses in  connection  with said  insurance  shall be
assessed  against  the Unit  Owners as part of the  Common  Expenses.  The named
insured shall be the Association, individually and as agent for the Unit Owners,
without naming them, and as agent for their  Mortgagees.  The Association  shall
not maintain insurance coverage  specifically required by this Declaration to be
maintained by the Unit Owners.
Specific insurance to be maintained by the Association is as follows:

         1.       comprehensive  general  public  liability and property  damage
                  insurance with respect to the Common  Elements and Association
                  Property  in  which  the  limits  of  public  liability  shall
                  initially  be not  less  than  $1,000,000.00  per  person  and
                  $5,000,000.00  per accident  and in which the property  damage
                  liability  shall be not less than  $1,000,000.00.  Such policy
                  limits  shall  be  increased   consistent  with   commercially
                  reasonable practices on a periodic basis.

         2.       comprehensive  coverage  on  boiler  and  machinery  equipment
                  comprising   part  of  the  Common  Elements  and  Association
                  Property, including electrical apparatus, if applicable.

         3.       hazard insurance  against perils  customarily  included within
                  all-risk and fire and extended coverage, including earthquake,
                  flood and hurricane,  on  improvements  comprising part of the
                  Common Elements and Association Property in an amount equal to
                  the full replacement value thereof at the time of loss.


                                      -18-
<PAGE>

         4.       Worker's  compensation  insurance meeting all the requirements
                  of the laws of  Texas  to the  extent  the  Association  hires
                  employees.

         5.       Directors and officers liability insurance, if available.

         6.       Such other insurance as the Board of Directors shall determine
                  from  time  to  time  to  be  desirable,   including,  without
                  limitation, such insurance as may be required by any agency of
                  the United  States  government  which  holds a first  mortgage
                  encumbering  a Unit  or  insures  to the  holder  thereof  the
                  payment of the same.

         B.  Additional  Requirements:  Additional  requirements  of Association
insurance are as follows:

         1.       Every hazard  policy which is issued to protect a  Condominium
                  Building shall provide that the word "building"  wherever used
                  in the policy  includes,  but is not  necessarily  limited to,
                  fixtures,  installations or additions  comprising that part of
                  the building within the unfurnished  interior  surfaces of the
                  perimeter  walls,  floors and ceilings of the individual Units
                  initially  installed,  or replacements thereof of like kind or
                  quality,   in   accordance   with  the   original   plans  and
                  specifications.  Provided,  however,  the word "building" does
                  not include Unit floor  coverings,  wall  coverings or ceiling
                  coverings,  or  any  of the  following:  electrical  fixtures,
                  appliances,  water  heaters or  built-in  cabinets  within the
                  Units,  and heating and air  conditioning  equipment,  whether
                  located within or without the Unit.

         2.       All  policies  required to be  maintained  by the  Association
                  shall be written and  underwritten  by solvent and responsible
                  insurance  companies  licensed  to do business in the state of
                  Texas,  which shall have a financial rating as is commercially
                  reasonable  under  the  circumstances  as  determined  by  the
                  Association in its reasonable  discretion.  Deductibles  under
                  the  Association's  policies  of  insurance  shall not  exceed
                  commercially  reasonable  amounts as reasonably  determined by
                  the Association.

         3.       Premiums upon insurance  policies purchased by the Association
                  shall be assessed by the  Association  against the Unit Owners
                  as part of the Common  Expenses.  If, at any time, the cost of
                  the insurance  premiums may be deemed too high,  the Board may
                  adjust  such  insurance  coverage  as  it  deems  prudent  and
                  reasonable.

         C. Purchase of Insurance by Unit Owners: Each Unit Owner shall maintain
the following:

         1.       a  policy  of  comprehensive   general  public  liability  and
                  property  damage  insurance  with respect to its Unit in which
                  the limits of public  liability  shall  initially  be not less
                  than  $1,000,000.00  per person and $5,000,000.00 per accident
                  and in which the property  damage  liability shall be not less
                  than  $1,000,000.00.  Such policy 


                                      -19-

<PAGE>
                  limits  shall  be  increased   consistent  with   commercially
                  reasonable practices on a periodic basis.

         2.       insurance against perils customarily  included within all-risk
                  and fire and extended coverage,  including  earthquake,  flood
                  and hurricane, on improvements,  furniture, furnishings, trade
                  fixtures, equipment, and floor and wall coverings installed or
                  located in or made to its Unit in an amount  equal to the full
                  replacement value thereof at the time of the loss.

         3.       All  policies  required  to be  maintained  by each Unit Owner
                  shall be written and  underwritten  by solvent and responsible
                  insurance  companies  licensed  to do business in the state of
                  Texas,  which  have  a  financial  rating  as is  commercially
                  reasonable  under  the  circumstances  as  determined  by  the
                  Association in its reasonable discretion.  Deductibles under a
                  Unit   Owner's   policies  of   insurance   shall  not  exceed
                  commercially  reasonable  amounts as reasonably  determined by
                  the  Association.  Policies  carried  by each  Unit  Owner may
                  contain  be  in  one  or  more  blanket,  umbrella  or  excess
                  liability covering other improvements of the Unit Owner.

         D.  Insurance  Held in Trust by  Association;  Shares of Proceeds.  All
hazard insurance  policies purchased by the Association shall be for the benefit
of the Association, the Unit Owners and their Mortgagees, as their interests may
appear,  and shall provide that all proceeds  covering  property losses shall be
paid to the  Association.  The duty of the Association with respect to insurance
proceeds  shall be to receive such  proceeds as are paid and to hold the same in
trust for the purposes  stated herein and for the benefit of the Unit Owners and
their Mortgagees in the following shares, which shares:

         1.       Common  Elements.  Proceeds  on  account  of  damage to Common
                  Elements:  Proceeds  on  account  of  damage  to  improvements
                  comprising  part of the Common  Elements  shall be held in the
                  following undivided shares:

                  a. When a Condominium Building is to be restored, for the Unit
         Owner so  damaged in  proportion  to the cost of  repairing  the damage
         suffered  by each Unit  Owner,  which cost shall be  determined  by the
         Association.

                  b. When a Condominium  Building is not to be restored and such
         Condominium  Building  contains more than one Unit, an undivided  share
         for each Unit Owner,  such share being the ratio  between the appraised
         value of its Unit to the appraised value of both Units, such appraisals
         to determine the respective values as they existed immediately prior to
         the  casualty.  A  Unit  Owner's  undivided  share  described  in  this
         subparagraph  is  sometimes  referred  to in  this  Declaration  as the
         "Appraised Share."

                  c.  When a  Condominium  Building  is not to be  restored  and
         contains  only one Unit, a share for the Owner of the Unit equal to all
         of the insurance  proceeds less (i)


                                      -20-
<PAGE>
         Association expenses as described below, (ii) the cost of restoring any
         mandatory facilities to their condition as existed immediately prior to
         the casualty, (iii) the cost of repairing any damage to the other Unit,
         (iv) the cost of demolishing  the damaged  property or performing  such
         other  work as  determined  necessary  by the  Association  to create a
         harmonious  balance with any remaining  improvements in the Condominium
         which are either  undamaged or will be repaired and (v) the cost of any
         improvements  needed  in  order  to  assure  that  use,  occupancy  and
         operation  of the other  Unit will not be in  violation  of  applicable
         governmental   requirements   including   without   limitation   zoning
         regulations and requirements of applicable license(s).  As used herein,
         "mandatory  facilities"  means any of the  following  that service both
         Units:  kitchen  facilities,  boiler room(s) and mechanical room(s). As
         used in this Article XX and Article XXI below,  a Condominium  Building
         is deemed to contain  only one Unit where the damage is confined to one
         portion of the  Building,  and such damage  primarily  affects only one
         Unit with  negligible  effect on the other Unit other than with respect
         to mandatory facilities.

                  2.  Mortgages.  In the event a Mortgagee  endorsement has been
         issued  as to a Unit,  the share of that  Unit  Owner  shall be held in
         trust for the  Mortgagee  and the Unit Owner,  as their  interests  may
         appear;  provided,  however,  that no Mortgagee shall have any right to
         determine or participate in the  determination as to whether or not any
         damaged property shall be  reconstructed or repaired,  and no Mortgagee
         shall  have any right to apply or have  applied to the  reduction  of a
         mortgage debt any insurance  proceeds except those proceeds paid to the
         Unit  Owner  and   Mortgagee   pursuant  to  the   provisions  of  this
         Declaration.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  if  (i)  an  Owner  has
         assigned  to its  Mortgagee  the  Owner's  right to  receive  insurance
         proceeds  from  the  Association  as such  right  is set  forth in this
         Declaration and (ii) the Owner and its Mortgagee have so instructed the
         Association  in  writing  signed by the Owner  and its  Mortgagee  (the
         "Assignment  Instruction'),  then the Association  shall recognize such
         assignment and, regardless of any subsequent conflicting instruction of
         the Owner, the Association  shall disburse to the Owner's Mortgagee any
         insurance  proceeds  that  Association  would  otherwise be required to
         disburse  to the Owner.  Each  Mortgagee  is an  intended  third  party
         beneficiary of and may enforce the provisions of this paragraph.

         E. Distribution of Proceeds. Proceeds of insurance policies received by
the Association shall be distributed in the following manner:

         1.  Expenses  of the  Association.  All  expenses  of the  Association,
         including  without  limitation  the cost of  appraisals  which shall be
         performed by a MAI  appraiser,  shall be paid first or  provision  made
         therefor.

         2.  Reconstruction  or repair. If the damage for which the proceeds are
         paid is to be repaired or reconstructed,  the remaining  proceeds shall
         be disbursed as provided below to defray the cost thereof. Any proceeds
         remaining  after  defraying  such  costs  shall be  distributed  to the
         beneficial  owners  thereof,  remittances  to  Unit  Owners  and  their
         Mortgagees  being  payable  jointly  to them,  in  accordance  with the
         Appraised Shares;
    

                                      -21-

<PAGE>

         provided,  however,  if the  Association is in receipt of an Assignment
         Instruction  duly  signed  by an Unit  Owner  and its  Mortgagee,  such
         remaining  proceeds  that would  otherwise  be paid jointly to the Unit
         Owner  and  its  Mortgagee  shall  instead  be  paid  directly  to  the
         Mortgagee.  This is a covenant for the benefit of any  Mortgagee of any
         Unit and may be enforced by such Mortgagee.

         3. Failure to reconstruct or repair.  If it is determined in the manner
         elsewhere  provided  that the  damage for which the  proceeds  are paid
         shall not be reconstructed or repaired, the remaining proceeds shall be
         distributed to the beneficial owners thereof, remittance to Unit Owners
         and their  Mortgages  being payable jointly to them. This is a covenant
         for the  benefit of any  Mortgagee  of any Unit and may be  enforced by
         such Mortgagee.

         F.  Association  as  Agent.  The  Association  is  hereby   irrevocably
appointed  agent for each Unit Owner,  for  Mortgagee  and for each owner of any
other  interest  in the  Condominium  Property,  with power to adjust all claims
arising under insurance policies purchased by the Association and to execute and
deliver releases upon the payment of claims.

         G.  The   following   conditions   and   procedures   shall   apply  to
reconstruction  work  (the  "Work")  and  disbursement  of  remaining  insurance
proceeds on account of same:

         1. Performance of Work. The Association shall enter into a construction
         contract  (the  "Construction  Contract")  with  a  general  contractor
         ("Contractor"),  and a  Schedule  of Values  that  allocates  values to
         various  portions  of the Work  will be  included  in the  Construction
         Contract.  The Work  shall  be  constructed  in a good and  workmanlike
         manner.   Only  new,  first  class  materials  shall  be  used  in  the
         performance of the Work.

         2. Affidavit of Commencement.  The Association will not cause or permit
         the  Contractor  to commence  construction  and shall not  disburse any
         funds   to   Contractor,   any   subcontractors,    sub-subcontractors,
         materialmen and laborers until an Affidavit of Commencement is recorded
         pursuant to Section  53.124 of the Texas  Property Code and a certified
         copy  of  such  Affidavit  of  Commencement  has  been  posted  on  the
         construction site.

         3.       Progress Payments.

                  a.  Based  upon  Applications  for  Payment  submitted  to the
Association's architect (the "Architect") by the Contractor and Certificates for
Payment issued by the Architect,  the Association  shall make progress  payments
("Association's  Progress  Payments")  from the  remaining  insurance  proceeds,
payable as hereinafter specified.

                  b. Prior to processing a Progress  Payment,  Association shall
require  that the  Contractor  (i) make all  Applications  for  Payment  on, and
strictly in compliance  with the


                                      -22-

and laborer; and

                           (3) a duly and properly  executed  partial release of

                           (4) a Schedule  of Values  (shown by dollar  amounts)
showing the respective  percentage of completion of the various divisions of the
Work.

                           (5)  Evidence  that  construction  is  proceeding  on
schedule  and that all  construction  prior to the date of the  Application  for
Payment has been completed in a good and  workmanlike  manner in accordance with
the Plans and  Specifications  and as  required by all  inspecting  governmental
authorities having jurisdiction over the Premises.

                  c. In addition to the foregoing,  each Application for Payment
shall include all of the  information  required to be furnished by the aforesaid
AIA Documents.  Each  statement,  partial release of lien and Schedule of Values

of the  remaining  insurance  proceeds  as well as any  amounts  assessed by the
Association  pursuant to Article XXI E below,  including the  Retainage  ("Final
Payment'), shall be made by Association only after satisfaction of the following
conditions:

         a.  the   Construction   Contract  has  been  fully  performed  by  the
Contractor; and

         b. a  Certificate  for  Payment has been  issued by the  Architect  and
approved by Association; and

         c. the  Association  has approved and accepted one hundred percent (100

sub-subcontractor, materialman, supplier and laborer and such other documents as
Association shall be entitled to under the Mechanic's Lien Law, all in such form
and  having  such  content as is  satisfactory  to  Association  in its sole and
absolute discretion. In the event Contractor does not furnish to Association all
of the aforesaid final releases of lien, then  Association  shall be entitled to
subtract from the amount that Association determines is necessary to transfer to
bond  or to pay  in  full  any  subcontractor,  sub-subcontractor,  materialman,
laborer who has not  furnished a Release of Lien (but no  reduction in the Final
Payment  shall  be made if the  Contractor  posts a cash  bond or  other  surety
accessible to Association covering such amounts); and

         e.  Receipt by  Association  of two (2) sets of detailed  and  complete
As-Built  Plans and  Specifications  of the Work,  including all  architectural,

Condominium Building(s) or applicable portion thereof.

XXI.     RECONSTRUCTION OR REPAIR AFTER CASUALTY.

         A.  Determination  to  Reconstruct  or  Repair.  If  any  part  of  the
Condominium  Property is damaged by casualty,  whether it shall be reconstructed
or repaired shall be determined in the following manner:

         1.       Condominium Building:

                  a. Minor damage.  If less than 75% of the square  footage of a
         Unit  is  damaged  or  destroyed,   the  damaged   property   shall  be
         reconstructed  or  repaired  unless, 

                                      -24-
<PAGE>

         within  sixty (60) days after the  casualty,  the Unit Owners  agree in
         writing to forego such  reconstruction  or repair and such  decision is
         approved  by at least the  majority of the  Mortgagees  (based upon one
         vote for each first mortgage owned).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
         the actual cost of restoring the affected Unit in accordance  with then
         existing  applicable laws exceeds 110% of the actual insurance proceeds
         available under required policies of insurance plus deductible amounts,
         then the damage shall be deemed Major damage as addressed below.


                  b. Major damage.  If more than 75% of the square  footage of a
         Unit is damaged or  destroyed,  or if the actual cost of restoring  the
         affected Unit in accordance with then existing  applicable laws exceeds
         110% of the actual insurance proceeds available under required policies
         of  insurance  plus  deductible  amounts,  the damaged  property  shall
         neither be reconstructed  nor repaired  unless,  within sixty (60) days
         after  the  casualty,  the  Owner  of the  affected  Unit  directs  the
         Association to effect such reconstruction or repair.

         B.  Plans and  Specifications.  Any  reconstruction  or repair  must be
substantially in accordance with the plans and  specifications  for the original
Condominium   Property;   or,  if  not,  then  in  accordance   with  plans  and
specifications  approved  by the Board of  Directors.  Any  reconstruction  that
materially and substantially  deviates from the configuration and quality of the
original  Condominium  Property  as it existed  prior to the  reconstruction  or
repair must be approved by at least the majority of the  Mortgagees  (based upon
one vote for each first mortgage owned).

         C. Responsibility. If the damage is only to those portions of a Unit or
Units for which the responsibility of maintenance and repair is that of the Unit
Owner(s),  then the Unit Owner(s) shall be responsible  for  reconstruction  and
repair after casualty.  In all other  instances,  it shall be the  Association's
responsibility to reconstruct and repair after casualty.

         D.  Estimate of Costs.  Immediately  after a  determination  is made to
rebuild  or  repair  damage  to  property  for  which  the  Association  has the
responsibility  for  reconstruction  and  repair,  the  Association  shall offer
reliable and detailed estimates of the cost to rebuild or repair.

         E.  Assessments.  If the proceeds of insurance  are not  sufficient  to
defray the estimated costs of reconstruction  and repair by the Association,  or
if at  any  time  during  reconstruction  and  repair,  or  upon  completion  of
reconstruction  or repair,  the funds for the  payment of the costs  thereof are
insufficient,  Assessments  shall be made against all Unit Owners in  sufficient
amounts to provide funds for the payment of such costs.

XXII.    EMINENT DOMAIN OR CONDEMNATION PROCEEDING.

         If  eminent  domain  or  condemnation   proceedings  are   successfully
litigated  against  all or any  part of the  Condominium  Property,  the  entire
eminent domain or  condemnation  award shall


                                      -25-
<PAGE>

be held by the Association for the benefit of itself,  the Unit Owners and their
Mortgagees in shares equal to shares of insurance proceeds payable on account of
casualty.

XXIII.  LIABILITY - GENERALLY.

         A.  General  Provisions.  Notwithstanding  anything  contained  in this
Declaration, the Articles, Bylaws or rules and regulations of the Association or
any other document governing or binding the Association ("Property  Documents'),
neither the Developer nor the Association  will be liable or responsible for, or
in any manner a guarantor  or insurer  of, the health,  safety or welfare of any
Owner,  occupant  or user of any  portion  of the  Property,  including  without
limitation,  residents,  their families,  guests, invitees,  licensees,  agents,
servants, contractors or subcontractors, nor for any property of such persons.

         B.  Specific  Provisions.   Without  limiting  the  generality  of  the
foregoing:

         1.       It is the express  intent of the Property  Documents  that the
                  various   provisions  of  the  Property  Documents  which  are
                  enforceable  by the  Association  and which govern or regulate
                  the  use  of  Property   have  been  written  and  are  to  be
                  interpreted and enforced for the sole purpose of enhancing and
                  maintaining  the  enjoyment  of the  Property  and  the  value
                  thereof.

         2.       The   Association  is  not  empowered  to  enforce  or  ensure
                  compliance  with the laws of the United  States,  the State of
                  Texas or the  County or any other  jurisdiction  or to prevent
                  tortious activities by Owners or third parties.

         3.       The  provisions  of the Property  Documents  setting forth the
                  uses of Assessments which relate to health,  safety or welfare
                  will be  interpreted  and applied only as  limitations  on the
                  uses  of  such  funds  and  not  as  creating  a  duty  of the
                  Association to protect or further the safety or welfare of the
                  persons even if such funds are used for such purposes.

         C. Owner Covenant.  Each Owner, his heirs,  successors and assigns,  by
virtue of his or her acceptance of title, and each other person or entity having
an interest or lien upon, or making the use of, any portion of the Property,  by
virtue of  accepting  such  interest or lien or by making use  thereof,  will be
bound by this  Article and will be deemed to have  automatically  waived any and
all rights,  claims, demands or causes of action against the Association arising
from or connected with any matter for which the liability of the Association has
been disclaimed in this Paragraph.

XXIV.  GENERAL PROVISIONS.

         A. If any provision of this  Declaration,  the Articles,  the Bylaws or
the Condominium Act, or any section,  sentence,  clause,  phrase or word, or the
application  thereof, in any circumstances is held invalid,  the validity of the
remainder of this Declaration, the Articles, the 


                                      -26-
<PAGE>
Bylaws,  or the  Condominium  Act,  and  the  application  of any  such  invalid
provision,  section,  sentence,  clause,  phrase, or word in other circumstances
shall not be affected thereby.

         B.  Notices to a Unit Owner  shall be sent to the  address of its Unit,
unless the Unit Owner has,  by written  notice to the  Association,  specified a
different  address.  Notices to the Association  shall be delivered by certified
mail to _______________________. All notices shall be deemed sent when deposited
in a depository  of the United  States Postal  Service,  properly  addressed and
containing  sufficient postage.  Any party may change his or its mailing address
by written notice to the other party.

         C. All remedies for violation  provided by the Condominium Act shall be
in full force and effect.  In addition  thereto,  should the Association find it
necessary  to  institute  legal action upon a finding by a court in favor of the
Association,  the defendant Unit Owner shall  reimburse the  Association for its
costs of suit, including reasonable  attorney's fees at both trial and appellate
levels, in bankruptcy or in post-judgment collection, incurred by it in bringing
such action.

         D.  Whenever  the context so  requires,  the use of any gender shall be
deemed to include all genders, the use of the plural shall include the singular,
and the singular shall include the plural.

         E. The provisions of this Declaration  shall be liberally  construed to
effectuate  its  purpose of  creating a uniform  plan for the  operation  of the
Condominium.

                  2.1 Term.  Subject to Section  21.1  hereof,  the term of this

date may be extended pursuant to the express provisions hereof. The term of this
Lease shall run from the Commencement  Date and terminate at 12:00 midnight,  on

"Initial Term"), unless extended as provided in Section 2.2 below.

                  2.2 Renewal  Term.  If this Lease is still in effect and if no

and each  Renewal  Term as to which  such  right has been  exercised.  Except as
otherwise  expressly  provided in this Lease,  all the agreements and conditions
contained  in this Lease shall apply to each Renewal Term as to which such right
has been exercised.

12-month period that commences on the  Commencement  Date, or any anniversary of
the Commencement Date,  provided,  however, if the Commencement Date occurs on a
day other than the first day of a month, then a Lease Year shall commence on the
first day of the first month  following  the  Commencement  Date except that the
first Lease Year shall include the period from the Commencement Date through the
last day of the month in which the Commencement Date occurs.


                                   ARTICLE III

                  3.1 Annual Rent.  Beginning on the  Commencement  Date of this
Lease,  Tenant  agrees to pay to  Landlord  rent at the  annual  rates set forth
below, in each case in monthly  installments of one-twelfth thereof. The monthly
rent  payments  provided for herein shall be paid by Tenant in advance,  without
notice or demand,  on the first day of each month, and the rent for the calendar
month during which rent shall begin to accrue and for the last calendar month of
the Lease Term,  shall be apportioned,  if necessary.  All rental payments to be
made to  Landlord  under this Lease  shall be made to  Landlord  at the  address
stated in Section  18.1 hereof or to such other  person,  firm,  corporation  or
other  entity or at such other  address as Landlord  may  designate by notice in
writing to Tenant.

                  3.1.1    Annual  rent  ("Annual  Rent")  shall be  payable  as

                           rate  of  Two  Hundred  Eighty-Seven   Thousand  Five
                           Hundred  ($287,500)  Dollars;  and during  each Lease
                           Year  thereafter  at the  annual  rate  equal  to the
                           product  resulting from  multiplying  the Annual Rent
                           for the first Lease Year by a fraction the  numerator
                           of which is the Price  Index (as  defined  in Article
                           VIII)  published for the first  calendar month of the
                           Lease Year with  respect to which the  adjustment  is
                           being made, and the  denominator of which is the Base
                           Price  Index (as defined in Article  VIII);  provided
                           that the Annual  Rent for the Lease Year in  question
                           shall  not be  lower  than  the  Annual  Rent for the
                           immediately preceding Lease Year.

                  3.1.2    Annual   Rent   shall  be  paid  in   equal   monthly
                           installments and shall be payable in advance, without
                           demand,  on the  first  day of  each  calendar  month
                           during any Lease  Year.  All  payments of Annual Rent
                           and  all  other  payments  to be made  by  Tenant  to
                           Landlord  pursuant  to this  Lease  shall  be paid in
                           lawful  money of the United  States of  America  and,

                           discount, setoff or abatement.

                  3.1.3    The  obligations  to pay  Annual  Rent and all  other
                           items of rent  under  this  Lease  are  separate  and
                           independent  of each and  every  other  covenant  and
                           agreement   contained   in  this  Lease,   except  as
                           otherwise  provided  in this  Lease  to the  contrary
                           including (but not limited to) provisions relating to

                           Tenant's  right to an  abatement  of,  or  setoff  or
                           reduction against, any such items of rent.

                  3.1.4    In the event that any monthly  installment  of Annual
                           Rent is not paid within  fifteen  (15) days after the
                           date due,  then,  in addition to any other  rights or
                           remedies available to Landlord, interest shall accrue
                           on such overdue  payment at a rate per annum equal to
                           the  lesser  of (a)  the  maximum  rate  of  interest
                           permitted  by law or (b) two  percent  (2%) above the
                           "Prime  Rate" of  interest  quoted in The Wall Street
                           Journal "Money Rates Column" from the date originally
                           due to the date of payment of the same.

                  3.2      Certain Adjustments to the Annual Rent.

                           (a)   Schedule 3.2(a) sets forth Landlord's estimated
amount as of the day  immediately  preceding  the  Commencement  Date of unpaid,
accrued and earned  holiday,  vacation,  sick and  personal  leave pay,  accrued
bonuses, payroll taxes and workers' compensation insurance premiums with respect
thereto for each of Landlord's employees.  Said Schedule 3.2(a) shall be updated
to the extent  necessary on and as of the day preceding the  Commencement  Date.
Landlord will terminate all such employees as of the day  immediately  preceding
the Commencement  Date. Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation,  to
hire any or all of such employees as of the Commencement Date. Landlord will pay
any and all unpaid,  accrued and earned  holiday,  vacation,  sick, and personal
leave pay,  accrued  bonuses,  and all  applicable  payroll  taxes and  workers'
compensation  insurance  premiums  accrued  and  earned  and not  paid as of the
Commencement  Date for such  employees  not hired by, or who decline  employment
with,  Tenant,  and Tenant shall have no liability  whatsoever for any such pay,
bonus, taxes, premiums or other compensation unpaid,  accrued and earned by such
employees. Tenant shall assume as of the Commencement Date the liability for any
and all unpaid,  accrued and earned holiday,  vacation,  sick and personal leave
pay, accrued bonuses, and all applicable payroll taxes and workers' compensation
insurance  premiums accrued and earned and not paid as of the Commencement  Date
for such  employees  hired by  Tenant,  and the  aggregate  amount  of such pay,
bonuses,  taxes,  premiums and other compensation unpaid,  accrued and earned by
such hired  employees  shall be paid by Landlord  to Tenant on the  Commencement
Date.

                           (b)   Schedule 3.2(b) sets forth Landlord's estimated
amount of any  prepaid  goods or  services  to be  supplied  or  rendered by the
operator of the Facility  subsequent to the  Commencement  Date (e.g.,  resident
advance payments), and such prepayments to the extent allocable to the period on
or after the  Commencement  Date  ("Prepayments")  shall be paid by  Landlord to
Tenant on the  Commencement  Date or, at  Landlord's  option,  shall  reduce the
amount  of the  first,  and to the  extent  necessary,  all  succeeding  monthly
installments of Annual Rent payable by Tenant,  until the  Prepayments  shall be
fully applied in lieu of such payment of such  Prepayments by Landlord to Tenant
on the  Commencement  Date.  Said Schedule 3.2(b) shall be updated to the extent
necessary on and as of the day preceding the Commencement Date.

                  3.3      Transfer Taxes;  Prorated Items. On the  Commencement
Date,  the  following  adjustments  and  prorations  shall be computed as of the
Commencement Date with


                                      - 5 -

<PAGE>


respect to the following taxes (unless  otherwise stated herein) and the initial
monthly  installments  of Annual Rent  payable for the first Lease Year shall be
adjusted, upward or downward as appropriate, to reflect such prorations:

                           (a)      Transfer  Taxes.  All state  and local  real
estate  transfer taxes and fees payable in connection  with this Lease or any of
the transaction documents (including,  without limitation, the short form lease)
relating hereto or the recording thereof shall be borne by Landlord.

                           (b)      Real Estate Taxes,  etc. Real property taxes
and all other ad valorem  public or  governmental  charges  against  the Demised
Premises  (including  charges  for sewer,  water,  drainage  or other  services)
assessed  for a period in which the  Commencement  Date occurs shall be adjusted
and  apportioned as of the  Commencement  Date and paid  thereafter by Tenant in
accordance with Article V hereof.

                           (c)      Personal  Property Taxes.  Personal property
taxes attributable to the value of the Personal Property and, if applicable,  to
the extent  taxable,  the Other Assets for the period in which the  Commencement
Date occurs shall be adjusted and  apportioned as of the  Commencement  Date and
paid thereafter by Tenant in accordance with Article V hereof.

                           (d)      Licenses,  Service  Contracts  and  Personal
Property  Leases.  All  prepayments  made or payments  due under any  continuing
Licenses (as defined in Section  13.9),  Contracts (as defined in Section 13.6),
and Personal Property Leases (as defined in Section 13.26) affecting the Demised
Premises  or Other  Assets,  including,  without  limitation,  parking,  garbage
removal,  laundry and maintenance agreements,  shall be adjusted and apportioned
as of the Commencement Date. Tenant shall assume all such obligations under such
continuing  Licenses,  Contracts and Personal  Property  Leases which arise (and
relate  to the  period)  on and  after the  Commencement  Date.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary  contained in this Lease,  Landlord shall terminate any
and all service contracts,  leases and/or other agreements  affecting or related
to the Demised  Premises  which are with any person or entity that is affiliated
with  Landlord,  including  without  limitation,  any and all  Contracts  and/or
Personal  Property  Leases  other than those  designated  by Tenant  pursuant to
Article XX hereof  and Tenant  shall have no  obligations  or  liabilities  with
respect thereto.

                           (e)      Utilities.  All prepayments made or payments
due with respect to utilities servicing the Demised Premises, including, without
limitation, water, sewer, electric, gas and utility bills, shall be adjusted and
apportioned as of the Commencement Date.  Landlord shall use its best efforts to
have  all  utility  meters  read on the  Commencement  Date so as to  accurately
determine the proration of current utility bills.

                  3.4      Other   Prorations.   All  other   charges  and  fees
customarily prorated and adjusted in similar transactions in the locale in which
the Demised Premises are situated shall be prorated as of the Commencement  Date
in accordance with such custom. However,  nothing contained herein shall operate
to subject  Tenant to any liability of Landlord,  and Tenant does not assume any
liability of Landlord, except as specifically set forth in this Lease.

                  In the event that accurate  prorations  and other  adjustments
cannot be made as of the  Commencement  Date because current bills or statements
are not obtainable (as, for example,  utility bills),  the parties shall prorate
such items upon receipt of the final bill or statement.


                                   ARTICLE IV
                              TITLE AND POSSESSION

                  4.1      Title and Authority. Landlord represents and warrants
to  Tenant  that  Landlord  owns  the  fee  simple  title  to the  Land,  Leased
Improvements,  Related Rights and Fixtures and Landlord owns marketable title to
the Personal Property and Other Assets,  free and clear of all Liens (as defined
in Section  13.10) other than as set forth on Schedules  13.10(a),  13.10(b) and
13.11(a) and other than as described in Section  13.11(b),  and Landlord has the
right  and  complete  authority  to  enter  into  this  Lease on the  terms  and
conditions and for the use and purposes herein stated.  Said Schedules 13.10(a),
13.10(b), 13.11(a) and 13.11(b) shall each be updated to the extent necessary on
and as of the day preceding the Commencement Date.

                  4.2      Leased  Equipment.   As  of  the  Commencement  Date,
Landlord  shall  furnish the Facility  with the  Personal  Property and Fixtures
(collectively,  the "Leased Equipment"),  including,  without limitation,  those
items of the  Personal  Property  and  Fixtures  set forth on  Exhibit B hereto.
Landlord  shall have no  obligation  to  furnish  the  Facility  with any Leased
Equipment after the  Commencement  Date. The Leased  Equipment shall include all
the  personal  property,  fixtures,  equipment  and  furnishings  necessary  and
appropriate  for the operation of the Facility by Tenant in accordance  with the
standards for operations  contemplated  for the facility leased pursuant to that
certain Lease Agreement,  dated of even date herewith,  between The Homestead of
Garden City,  L.C., as landlord,  and  Integrated  Living  Communities at Garden
City,  Inc.,  as tenant;  all of such Leased  Equipment  being  leased to Tenant
pursuant to the terms of this Lease.  No  additional  rent,  beyond  Annual Rent
provided  for in  Article  III  hereof,  shall be paid by Tenant  for the Leased
Equipment.

                  4.3      Surrender  of  Possession.  At the  end of the  Lease
Term, or upon the earlier  termination of this Lease,  Tenant,  at its sole cost
and expense,  shall surrender the Demised  Premises to Landlord in the same good
condition and state of repair as they were in at the Commencement Date, ordinary
wear and tear and, except as otherwise provided in this Lease, damage by fire or
other casualty excepted,  and shall convey and transfer to Landlord such portion
of the Other  Assets as shall not have been used,  depleted  or  consumed in the
ordinary  course of the  operation of the Facility  and,  subject to Section 8.2
hereof,  shall  also  convey and  transfer  to  Landlord  any  replacements  and
accessories  thereto acquired by Tenant during the Lease Term, to the extent the
same continue in existence at the end of the Lease Term.

                  4.4      Holding Over. If Tenant  remains in possession of the
Demised  Premises  after the  expiration of the Lease Term,  except as otherwise
provided in the Option Agreement (as hereinafter defined), such possession shall
be as a tenant at sufferance. During such occupancy, rent shall be payable equal
to 150% times the monthly amount of Annual Rent payable during the


                                      - 7 -
<PAGE>


last  month  of the  Lease  Term,  and the  provisions  of this  Lease  shall be
applicable and continue in full force and effect. However, Landlord's acceptance
of any rent  payments and the terms of this  Section 4.4 shall not  constitute a
renewal of this Lease or give Tenant any right to continue to occupy the Land on
a month-to-month basis or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant is
unable to surrender the Demised  Premises  because  Landlord  fails to provide a
qualified and duly licensed operator (a "Proper  Successor") for the Facility at
the end of the  Lease  Term to take over the  operation  and  management  of the
Facility,  Tenant shall have the right, but shall not be obligated to, remain in
possession  of the Demised  Premises and continue to operate and manage the same
if Tenant would be legally prohibited from abandoning the Demised Premises or in
Tenant's judgment, abandoning the Demised Premises without a Proper Successor in
place to continue the  operations of the Facility  would  jeopardize its (or its
affiliates') reputation as a provider of residential congregant,  nursing and/or
assisted living facility care or could otherwise  subject it (or its affiliates)
to liability.  In the event Tenant remains in possession of the Demised Premises
pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant shall (a) pay to Landlord
as gross rent during such occupancy 90% the Annual Rent payable by Tenant in the
last Lease Year of the Lease Term and (b)  surrender  possession  of the Demised
Premises within ten (10) days after Landlord provides a Proper Successor to take
over the operation and management of the Facility.


                                    ARTICLE V
                        TAXES, ASSESSMENTS AND UTILITIES

                  5.1      Real  Estate  Taxes.  Tenant,  at its  sole  cost and
expense, shall pay when due all ad valorem general real estate taxes, betterment
or other assessments and transit taxes  (collectively,  "Impositions") which are
assessed against,  levied, imposed upon, become a lien or become due and payable
with respect to or upon the Demised Premises,  and no other property,  and which
first become due and payable,  or any installments  thereof which become due and
payable,  on and after the Commencement  Date and during the Lease Term.  Tenant
shall provide  Landlord with copies of all receipts  received in connection with
the  payment  of such  taxes and  assessments  within  twenty  (20)  days  after
Landlord's  request  prior to the date  interest or  penalties on such taxes and
assessments would be imposed.  Tenant shall have the right, at its sole cost and
expense  and in good  faith,  to  contest  the  amount or  validity  of any such
Imposition payable by Tenant under the terms of this Lease,  provided,  however,
that if at any time payment of any such  Imposition  shall  become  necessary to
prevent the tax sale of the Demised  Premises or any portion  thereof because of
nonpayment,  then Tenant shall pay the same in  sufficient  time to prevent such
sale. Landlord shall join, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, in any proceedings
referred to above,  and hereby  agrees that the same may be brought in its name,
if the  provisions of any law, rule or  regulations at the time, in effect shall
require  that such  proceedings  be brought by and/or in the name of Landlord or
any owner of the Demised Premises. Tenant shall be entitled to any refund of any
Impositions,  and all penalties or interest thereon,  received by Landlord which
shall have been paid by Tenant,  or which shall have been paid by  Landlord  but
previously reimbursed in full by Tenant. Provided that no Event of Default shall
have occurred and be  continuing,  Landlord  shall not,  without  Tenant's prior
approval,  make or agree to any settlement,  compromise or other  disposition of
any such  proceedings or discontinue or withdraw any such  proceedings or accept
any refund or other  adjustment  of or credit for any  Imposition as a result of
any such


                                      - 8 -

proceedings.  Landlord hereby appoints Tenant the  attorney-in-fact  of Landlord
for the purpose of making all  payments to be made by Tenant  pursuant to any of
the  provisions  of this  Lease to  persons or  entities  other  than  Landlord.
Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary  contained  in this Lease,  if, by not
later than thirty (30) days prior to the final date for  contesting the validity
or amount of any real  estate  taxes and  assessments  with  respect to the last
Lease Year of the Lease Term, Tenant shall not have advised Landlord that Tenant
intends  to  conduct  such  contest,  Landlord  will have the right (but not the
obligation) to contest the validity  and/or amount of such  Impositions  for the
last  Lease  Year of the Lease  Term  without  the  consent  of  Tenant,  but at
Landlord's sole cost and expense.

                  5.1.1    If at any time  during the Lease Term the  methods of
                           taxation   of    Impositions    prevailing   at   the
                           commencement  of the  Initial  Term  hereof  shall be
                           altered so that in lieu of, or as a supplement to, or
                           a  substitute  for,  the  whole  or any  part  of the
                           Impositions  then levied,  assessed or imposed on the
                           Demised  Premises,  any of the  following are levied,
                           assessed or imposed:

                           (a)      a  tax,  assessment,   levy,  imposition  or
charge,  wholly  or  partially  as a  capital  levy or  otherwise,  on the rents
received therefrom; or

                           (b)      a tax,  assessment,  levy (including but not
limited to any municipal,  state or federal levy), imposition or charge measured
by or based in whole or in part  upon the  Demised  Premises  and  imposed  upon
Landlord; or

                           (c)      a license fee  measured by the rent  payable
under this Lease;

then,  in such event,  all such taxes,  assessments,  levies,  impositions,  and
charges,  or the part  thereof  so  measured  or  based,  shall be  deemed to be
included in the  Impositions  payable by Tenant pursuant to this Section 5.1, to
the extent that such taxes, assessments,  levies,  impositions and charges would
be payable if the Demised  Premises were the only  property of Landlord  subject
thereto,  and Tenant  shall pay and  discharge  the same as herein  provided  in
respect of the payment of general real estate taxes and assessments.

                  5.1.2    Impositions  shall not  include  any  income,  excess
                           profit, estate,  inheritance,  succession,  transfer,
                           franchise,  capital or other tax or  assessment  upon
                           Landlord  or  (unless  in  substitution,   as  herein
                           provided) upon the rentals  payable under this Lease,
                           all  of  which  shall  be  the  sole   obligation  of
                           Landlord.  The  real  estate  taxes  on  the  Demised
                           Premises  during any year shall mean such  amounts as
                           shall  be   finally   determined,   after   deducting
                           abatements, discounts, refunds or rebates, if any, to
                           the  Impositions  payable with respect to the Demised
                           Premises during said year.

                  5.1.3    Any  Impositions  which  become  due for the  year in
                           which  possession  is given to  Tenant  but which are
                           payable  with  respect  to  a  period  prior  to  the
                           Commencement  Date shall be prorated for the calendar
                           year  between  Landlord  and  Tenant as  provided  in
                           Section 3.3 hereof and such proration


                                      - 9 -

                           shall also occur at the end of the Lease Term for the
                           calendar year of termination.

                  5.1.4    If Landlord  shall have the right to elect the period
                           over  which any  Impositions  are  payable,  Landlord
                           agrees to elect  and  Tenant  may make such  payments
                           over the longest period of time available.

                  5.2      Personal    Property   Taxes.    Beginning   on   the
Commencement Date, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense,  shall pay when due all
personal  property  taxes and  assessments  (if any) assessed  against,  levied,
imposed  upon,  or which  would  become a lien or become  due and  payable  with
respect to, or upon any of Tenant's tangible or intangible  personal property or
the Leased  Equipment or the Other Assets,  during the Lease Term.  Tenant shall
provide  Landlord with copies of all receipts  received in  connection  with the
payment of such taxes and  assessments  not less than ten (10) days prior to the
date interest or penalties on such taxes and assessments  would be imposed.  Any
personal  property taxes and assessments  which become due for the year in which
possession  is given to Tenant but which are  payable  with  respect to a period
prior to the  Commencement  Date shall be prorated for the calendar year between
Landlord and Tenant as provided in Section 3.3 hereof and such  proration  shall
also occur at the end of the Lease Term for the calendar year of termination.

                  5.3      Sewer Use Fees.  Beginning on the Commencement  Date,
Tenant,  at its sole  cost and  expense,  shall pay when due all sewer use fees,
rents,  charges and deposits  assessed against,  levied,  imposed upon, or which
would  become a lien or become  due and  payable  with  respect  to, or upon the
Demised  Premises,  during the Lease Term.  Tenant shall  provide  Landlord with
copies of all  receipts  received in  connection  with the payment of such fees,
rents,  charges  and  deposits  not less  than ten (10)  days  prior to the date
interest or penalties on such fees or deposits would be imposed.

                  5.4      Utilities.   Beginning  on  the  Commencement   Date,

                  6.1      Use by Tenant.  Tenant shall use the Demised Premises
for the  business  purpose of a  residential  congregant,  nursing  care  and/or
assisted living  facility and all related and ancillary  medical and therapeutic
services,  and for no other purpose without  Landlord's  consent,  which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

                  6.2      Compliance with Laws. Except as otherwise provided in
this Section 6.2, and in Sections 8.1.4, 8.1.5, and 8.1.6,  Tenant, in operating

ordinances,  rules,  regulations  and laws  applicable to the Demised  Premises,
notices from the issuer of the Facility's  fire hazard or casualty  policy,  and
each covenant, condition or restriction of record which is a Permitted Exception
(as hereinafter defined).

                  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of
this Section 6.2,  except as otherwise  provided in this Lease,  Tenant,  at its
cost and  expense,  shall  comply with all  Environmental  Laws (as  hereinafter
defined)  that  are  applicable  to  its  operation  of  the  Demised  Premises,
including,  but  not  limited  to,  the  use,  handling,   treatment,   storage,
transportation  and  disposal  of any  hazardous,  toxic  or  infectious  waste,
material or substance (including Medical Waste) and petroleum products, material
or waste. Landlord, at its cost and expense, shall comply with all Environmental
Laws in connection  with the  previous,  present  and/or  future use,  handling,
treatment,  storage,  transportation  and disposal of any such waste,  material,
substance  and  products  at or on the  Demised  Premises  by anyone  other than

clients.

                  6.3      Waste.  Tenant shall neither  commit,  nor permit the
commission of waste upon or against the Demised Premises, ordinary wear and tear
excepted.

                  6.4      License  and  Permits.  Tenant  at its sole  cost and
expense,  shall acquire and maintain all licenses and permits  needed to operate
the Demised Premises for the then applicable use permitted herein.  Tenant, as a
provider of residential care services,  shall comply with all applicable  rules,
regulations,  laws,  statutes,  orders,  ordinances and  requirements,  and will
maintain  its   certifications   for  reimbursement   and  licensure,   and  its
accreditation,  if  compliance  with  accreditation  standards  is  required  to
maintain the operations of the Facility.

                  6.5      Landlord's Repairs. Landlord shall have no obligation
to make  improvements,  alterations,  replacements  or  repairs  to the  Demised
Premises, except as may be expressly provided herein.

                  6.6      Conflict with  Insurance  Policies.  Tenant shall not
permit any use of the  Demised  Premises  which would  invalidate  any policy of
insurance or which would increase the premiums for any insurance  policy carried
by or for the  benefit of  Landlord  unless  Tenant  pays any such  increase  in
premiums.


                                   ARTICLE VII
                                 EMINENT DOMAIN

                  7.1      Permanent or Temporary Taking. If after the execution
of this Lease all or any part of the Demised Premises is acquired on a permanent
or temporary basis by any federal,  state or local governmental agency, by means
of  condemnation  or threat of  condemnation,  or by reason of mutual  agreement
between Landlord,  Tenant, and said governmental  agency, this Article VII shall
control.

                  7.2      Compensation. All compensation awarded for any taking
(including,  but not limited to, loss of  leasehold)  shall belong to and be the
property of Landlord;  provided,  however,  that Tenant shall be entitled to any
portion of the award made to Tenant for its loss of business, depreciation to or
for the cost of removal of stock,  fixtures,  equipment  (other  than the Leased
Equipment) or signs,  moving expenses,  relocation costs or any other allowances
to which Tenant may be legally entitled. This Lease shall not preclude the right
of Tenant to pursue an independent  action for damages against any  governmental
agency for said taking,  provided,  however that in no event shall any resulting
award to  Tenant  reduce  the  amount  of the  award to  which  Landlord  may be
entitled. In any event, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any damages.

                  7.3      Effect  on this  Lease of  Permanent  Taking.  In the
event that the whole of the Demised Premises is taken permanently by any method,
then this Lease shall  terminate  as of the date title to the  Demised  Premises
vests in the governmental  agency.  Such date of vesting shall operate as though
it were the date originally intended by the parties for expiration of this Lease
and  Tenant  shall pay  Annual  Rent and  Landlord  shall  refund to Tenant  any
overpayments of Annual Rent or other charges within five (5) days after the date
of such  vesting  and all  other  obligations  hereunder  accrued  (prorated  as
appropriate) to the date of such vesting.

                  In  the  event  a   substantial   and  material   portion  (as
hereinafter defined) of the Demised Premises are taken permanently,  then Tenant
shall have the option to terminate this Lease by giving Landlord at least ninety
(90) days' written  notice.  If Tenant does not elect to terminate this Lease or
if less than a  substantial  and  material  portion of the Demised  Premises are
taken,  then  this  Lease  shall  terminate  only as to the part of the  Demised
Premises  taken and Annual Rent shall be reduced for the  remainder of the Lease
Term by a just, fair and equitable  proportion of Annual Rent payable  according
to the size, nature and extent of the property that is taken. Any adjustments or
reductions  in Annual Rent,  as  contemplated  by this  Section  shall take into
account  the  practical  and  economic  effect of the taking in  question on the
operation of the Demised Premises.  In the event that a substantial and material
part of the Demised  Premises is  temporarily  taken in excess of three  hundred
sixty-five (365)  consecutive days, then such taking shall be deemed a permanent
taking for  purposes  of this  Lease.  It shall be  presumed  that the taking is
"substantial  and  material"  if  (a)  the  Kansas   Department  of  Health  and
Environment  permanently closes the Demised Premises whether in whole or in part
because  of such  taking  for  use as a  nursing  care  and/or  assisted  living
facility,  or (b) if in Tenant's reasonable business judgment the portion of the
Demised  Premises not so taken is inadequate to continue to operate the Facility
in a commercially  profitable  manner as a nursing care and/or  assisted  living
facility, as the case may be according to the then actual use by Tenant.

                  In the event that the Demised  Premises  become  landlocked by
such taking for a period in excess of three (3) consecutive  days and reasonable
alternative   access  cannot  be  provided  within  five  (5)  days  after  such
occurrence,  then Annual Rent shall abate until access or reasonable alternative
access is  provided  to the Demised  Premises;  provided  that if such access or
reasonable  alternative  access cannot be provided within thirty (30) days after
such  occurrence,  then Tenant shall have the right to  terminate  this Lease by
written  notice to Landlord,  which shall  terminate  this Lease sixty (60) days
after such notice.

                  7.4      Effect  on this  Lease of  Temporary  Taking.  In the
event that all or part of the Demised  Premises  are taken for a temporary  use,
Annual Rent shall be reduced and abated by a just, fair and equitable proportion
of Annual Rent payable  according to the size, nature and extent of the property
that is taken.  Any adjustments or reductions in Annual Rent, as contemplated by
this Section shall take into account the  practical  and economic  effect of the
taking in  question  on the  operation  of the Demised  Premises.  Tenant  shall
continue to perform all other  conditions  of this Lease as though the taking or
condemnation  had not  occurred,  except  to the  extent  that  Tenant  shall be
prevented from doing so by reason of the taking or  condemnation  and except for
the  abatement of Annual Rent as provided  herein.  Neither  party to this Lease
shall have any right to terminate this Lease by reason of a temporary  taking of
all or part of the Demised Premises, except as stated in Section 7.3 above.

                  7.5      Restoration.  If any building or  improvement  on the
Demised  Premises  or any  replacement  thereof  shall be damaged  or  partially
destroyed by any such taking of less than all or  substantially  all thereof and
this Lease shall not be terminated by reason  thereof,  Tenant shall be entitled
to receive such portion of any award to which Landlord may be entitled,  as will
be sufficient to pay for the costs of restoring and rebuilding such  building(s)
and  improvement(s)  and within ninety (90) days after receipt by Tenant of such
sum,  Tenant shall  proceed with  reasonable  diligence to conduct any necessary
demolition  and to  repair,  replace  or  rebuild,  any  remaining  part of said
building(s) and  improvement(s),  or of any replacement thereof not so taken, so
as to constitute  such  remaining part thereof a complete,  useable  building in
substantially  the same condition and repair as the building(s) and improvements
were in prior to any such  taking;  and Tenant  shall  hold that  portion of any
award received by Tenant  pursuant to this Section in trust to apply the same to
the cost and expense of such demolition, repairing, replacing and rebuilding. If
the cost of any work  necessary  to repair,  replace or rebuild  (including  any
necessary  demolition  work) any damage to or destruction of the building(s) and
improvement(s) or any replacement or replacements  thereof shall equal or exceed
an aggregate cost of One Hundred Thousand ($100,000) Dollars,  the same shall be
conducted under the  supervision of an architect or engineer  selected by Tenant
and approved in writing by Landlord, which approval Landlord agrees shall not be
unreasonably  withheld or delayed.  Whenever  pursuant to this Section Tenant is
entitled to receive the proceeds of an award in excess of $100,000 in amount for
the  purpose  of  applying  the  same  to the  cost of  demolishing,  repairing,
replacing or rebuilding,  such proceeds  shall be paid to the Insurance  Trustee
provided for in Article XV, to be disposed of by such  Insurance  Trustee in the
manner provided in Article XII.

                     ALTERATIONS, REPAIRS and TRADE FIXTURES

                  8.1      Repairs by Tenant Generally.

                  8.1.1    Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease,
                           including  without  limitation,  in this Article VIII
                           and in Articles  VII,  XII and XXII,  Tenant shall be
                           responsible for the performance, at its sole cost and
                           expense,  of  all  necessary  repairs,  replacements,
                           alterations and improvements, whether or

                           not in order to  comply  with  all  applicable  laws,
                           regulations and municipal ordinances,  (collectively,
                           "Repairs") to the Demised  Premises.  This obligation
                           to perform  Repairs shall  include,  at its sole cost
                           and  expense,   inspecting,   keeping,   maintaining,
                           repairing  and  replacing  the  interior,   exterior,
                           structural    and     nonstructural     improvements,
                           alterations  and  other  components  on  the  Demised
                           Premises so as to keep the  improvements and interior
                           decorations  in  substantially  the same condition as
                           they were in on the  Commencement  Date,  subject  to
                           depreciation  and  ordinary  wear and tear,  and in a
                           safe  condition,  free from dirt,  water,  snow, ice,
                           refuse, trash and obstruction and shall also include,
                           but not be limited to, signs, glass, landscaping, any
                           air conditioning,  heating, electrical,  ventilating,
                           parking areas and driveways,  plumbing systems, roof,
                           walls  and  all  interior   and  exterior   cleaning,
                           painting,  repairs  and  replacements  on or  at  the
                           Demised Premises.  Tenant shall not voluntarily alter
                           any  structural  part of the Leased  Improvements  or
                           demolish, remove, or materially and permanently alter
                           any permanent  improvement  in or on the Land or make
                           permanent additions thereto the cost of which, in the
                           case of any single  alteration  or addition,  exceeds
                           $50,000  or, in the case of all such  alterations  or
                           additions in any Lease Year, exceeds in the aggregate
                           $250,000,   without  the  prior  written  consent  of
                           Landlord,  which  consent  shall not be  unreasonably
                           withheld  or   delayed;   provided,   however,   that
                           Landlord's consent shall not be required with respect
                           to any such  Repairs  which are  required in order to
                           comply with applicable laws, regulations or municipal
                           ordinances  or in the  case  of an  emergency  or any
                           other  situation  where bodily harm is  threatened or
                           Tenant is exposed to  liability  if such  Repairs are
                           not made.  In addition,  Tenant may perform any other
                           non-structural   alterations  and  additions  to  the
                           Demised Premises without  Landlord's  consent so long
                           as   Tenant   gives   a  copy   of  the   plans   and
                           specifications,  if any, to Landlord  within ten (10)
                           days  prior  to  making   such   alterations   and/or
                           additions;    provided    further    that    cosmetic
                           modifications  and decorations that are substantially
                           consistent with the quality of the original materials
                           and decorations that were used in the Facility may be
                           made by Tenant without any notification to Landlord.

                  8.1.1.1  The dollar amounts set forth in this paragraph  8.1.1
shall be  adjusted  and  increased  each  Lease  Year by an amount  equal to the
product resulting from multiplying each of said dollar amounts by a fraction the
numerator of which is the Price Index  published for the first calendar month of
the Lease  Year with  respect to which the  adjustment  is being  made,  and the
denominator of which is the Base Price Index.

                  8.1.1.2  As used in this  Lease the following terms shall have
the following respective meanings:



                                     - 14 -

<PAGE>


                                (i)     "Price  Index"  shall mean the  "Revised
Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (the CPI-U) published by the Bureau
of Labor  Statistics  of the United States  Department of Labor,  for the Kansas
City, MO.-KS. area, All Items, (1982-84=100)"; and

                                (ii)    "Base Price  Index" shall mean the Price
Index published for the calendar month in which the Commencement  Date occurs or
if not published for such month,  then the closest  preceding  month for which a
Price Index is available.

                  8.1.1.3       In the event the Price Index shall  hereafter be
converted  to a different  standard  reference  base or otherwise  revised,  the
determination  of the adjusted  dollar amounts  hereunder shall be made with the
use of such conversion  factor,  formula or table for converting the Price Index
as may be published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, or Prentice Hall, Inc. or
any other nationally recognized publisher of similar statistical information. If
at any time during the Lease Term the Price  Index shall no longer be  published
by said  Bureau,  then any  comparable  index  issued by said  Bureau or similar
agency  of the  United  States  issuing  similar  indices  shall be used for the
purposes of making the  adjustments  under  Article  III and under this  Article
VIII, the same, however, to be appropriately adjusted in order to give effect to
the intent of the foregoing provisions of this Lease. In the event that the U.S.
Department  of  Labor,  Bureau  of Labor  Statistics,  changes  the  publication
frequency  of the Price Index so that a Price Index is not  available  to make a
cost-of-living adjustment as herein provided in Article III or this Article VIII
for the month  specified,  the  cost-of-living  adjustment to be made thereunder
shall be based on the  percentage  difference  between  the Price  Index for the
closest  preceding month for which a Price Index is available and the Base Price
Index.

                  8.1.2   Tenant shall keep the Demised  Premises  free from any
                          mechanic's,   materialman's,   or  similar  liens  and
                          encumbrances  and any claims  therefor  in  connection
                          with any Repairs and Tenant shall remove any such lien
                          or  encumbrance,  by bond or otherwise,  within thirty
                          (30) days after notice from  Landlord of the same.  If
                          Tenant fails to do so,  Landlord may pay the amount of
                          such claim or take such other action as Landlord deems
                          reasonably  necessary to remove such claim,  lien,  or
                          encumbrance after  investigating the validity thereof.
                          The  amount so paid and  costs  incurred  by  Landlord
                          shall be deemed  additional  rent  under  this  Lease,
                          payable  on  demand,   when  accompanied  by  detailed
                          information   and  invoices   regarding  such  amount.
                          Nothing  in this  Lease  shall be deemed a consent  by
                          Landlord  to the  filing  of any  lien  on  Landlord's
                          interest  in the Demised  Premises  and any such liens
                          shall  attach  solely  to  Tenant's  interest  in  the
                          Demised   Premises   and  shall  in  all  respects  be
                          subordinate  to  Landlord's  interest  in the  Demised
                          Premises.  Tenant  shall  not do  anything  or  permit
                          anything  to be done upon the Demised  Premises  which
                          will  materially  and  adversely  affect the safety or
                          security of the Demised Premises,  which will increase
                          the  rate of  fire  or  casualty  insurance  upon  the
                          building or its contents,  without  Landlord's written
                          consent,  which  consent  shall  not  be  unreasonably
                          withheld  or delayed,  or which will cause  structural
                          damage  to  the   Demised   Premises   or  any  Leased
                          Improvements. Except for trade

                          Premises  shall become the property of Landlord,  free
                          of charge, if affixed to the realty.

                  8.1.3   Tenant's  obligation  to  perform  Repairs  shall also
                          include without  limitation the repair and maintenance
                          of Leased  Equipment and the replacement  from time to
                          time  of  obsolete,   damaged  or   unsightly   Leased
                          Equipment,  so as to keep the  same in good  operating
                          condition  consistent  with a nursing care or assisted
                          living  facility,  whichever is being  operated at the
                          Demised    Premises   at   the   time   in   question.

                          this Lease,  any Leased  Equipment  which is leased or

                          finance arrangement at the commencement of the Initial
                          Term and any  replacement(s)  of such Leased Equipment
                          may be encumbered similarly during the Lease Term.

                  8.1.4   Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary contained in
                          this  Lease,   if  Tenant  is  required  to  make  any
                          expenditures  for Repairs  (whether or not in order to
                          comply  with  all  applicable  laws,  regulations  and
                          municipal  ordinances) to the Demised  Premises during
                          the last two Lease Years of the Lease Term  (excluding
                          Repairs  that are  required  to be made as a result of
                          Tenant's,   or   Tenant's   agents',   employees'   or
                          contractors'  negligence or wilful misconduct),  which
                          expenditures    according   to   generally    accepted
                          accounting  principles  ("GAAP") should be capitalized
                          (such  expenditures  being  hereinafter   collectively
                          called "Capital Expenditures") and if any such Capital
                          Expenditure  is  a  Major  Capital   Expenditure   (as
                          hereinafter defined),  Tenant shall send to Landlord a
                          notice  of  such  circumstance,   which  notice  shall
                          specify  the  nature  of  the   repair,   replacement,
                          alteration or improvement  for which the Major Capital
                          Expenditure  is being incurred  (hereinafter  called a
                          "Capital  Improvement") and the estimated cost of such
                          Capital Improvement. Tenant shall only be obligated to
                          pay that  portion  ("Tenant's  Share")  of the cost of
                          such  Capital   Improvement   as  shall  be  equitably
                          apportioned  to  it  taking  into   consideration  the
                          reasonable  useful  life  (according  to GAAP) of such
                          Capital  Improvement  and the unexpired Lease Term and
                          the cost of such  Capital  Improvement  in  excess  of
                          Tenant's  Share (such  excess  cost being  hereinafter
                          called "Landlord's Share") shall be borne by Landlord.
                          Tenant  shall only be  obligated  to make the  Capital
                          Improvement  if,  within ten (10)  business days after
                          Landlord  receives  Tenant's  above-described  notice,
                          Tenant  and  Landlord  agree on the  determination  of
                          Tenant's  Share  and  Landlord's  Share of such  Major
                          Capital  Expenditure  and the manner in which Landlord
                          will pay and/or reimburse  Landlord's Share to Tenant.
                          If the parties cannot agree on an equitable sharing of
                          any such Major  Capital  Expenditure  or the manner of
                          payment and/or  reimbursement,  Tenant may (i) seek to
                          have the matter  resolved by  arbitration as elsewhere
                          provided in this Lease prior to undertaking to perform
                          any such  Capital  Improvement,  (ii) perform any such
                          Capital   Improvement  and  during  and/or  after  the
                          performance thereof

                          seek to have the matter  resolved  by  arbitration  as
                          elsewhere  provided  in  this  Lease,  in  which  case
                          immediately  upon  resolution of such matter  Landlord
                          shall  pay  to  Tenant  and/or  reimburse  Tenant  for
                          Landlord's  Share  of  the  cost  thereof,   or  (iii)
                          terminate  this Lease upon not less than  thirty  (30)
                          days prior  written  notice to Landlord.  In the event
                          that  after   allocating   Landlord's   and   Tenant's
                          respective   Shares   of  the   cost   of  a   Capital
                          Improvement, Tenant exercises a renewal option, Tenant
                          shall reimburse Landlord for the unamortized amount of
                          Landlord's  Share of any such cost theretofore paid by
                          Landlord with  interest  thereon at the rate per annum
                          set forth in Article III hereof.

                  As used  herein,  a  "Major  Capital  Expenditure"  means  any
Capital Expenditure which is required to be made during the last two Lease Years
of the Lease Term and which exceeds $25,000  individually,  or which, when added
to all other  Capital  Expenditures  theretofore  incurred by Tenant during such
period, exceeds $100,000.

                  8.1.5   Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary contained in
                          this Lease,  Tenant  shall not be obligated to make or
                          to pay for any Repairs  that are  required as a result
                          of the negligence or wilful misconduct of Landlord, or
                          any of its or its affiliates'  (which shall include an
                          affiliate of The  Homestead  Company,  L.C. or of Jack
                          West), employees, agents or contractors or as provided
                          in paragraph 8.1.6 below.

                  8.1.6   Landlord  agrees  that  if at any  time or  times  any
                          governmental  authorities or insurance  rating bureaus
                          having  jurisdiction  shall  complain that the Demised
                          Premises, or any portion thereof, were not constructed
                          in compliance with any law, ordinance or regulation of
                          any governmental  authority or insurance rating bureau
                          having jurisdiction and shall request compliance, then
                          Landlord  shall,   upon  receipt  of  notice  of  such
                          complaint,  cause such repairs,  alterations  or other
                          work to be done so as to bring  about  the  compliance
                          requested.

                  8.2     Quality and  Promptness  of Repairs and  Replacements;
Ownership of Replacements and Warranties.  All repairs and replacements  made by
Tenant shall be made when  reasonably  necessary and within a reasonably  prompt
period of time;  shall be with new or  like-new  materials  of at least equal or
better  value,  utility  and  condition  to that  which  the  same was in at the
commencement  of the  Initial  Term,  taking into  consideration  the quality of
materials and  workmanship of the same, and shall be done in compliance with all
applicable laws, codes, ordinances, rules, regulations and statutes of the city,
county, state and federal governments.


                  Any such  replaced  Leased  Equipment  shall be and remain the
property of Landlord; provided, however, that if any item of Leased Equipment is
replaced by Tenant  during the Lease


                                     - 17 -

Term at  Tenant's  sole  cost  and  expense  with  an  upgraded  item of  Leased
Equipment,  then Tenant  shall have the right prior to the end of the Lease Term
to either  remove  such  upgraded  item and replace the same with a like item of
Leased  Equipment of equal or better quality,  design and function as existed on
the Commencement Date.

                  Landlord agrees that it will give to Tenant the benefit of all
warranties and  guarantees  they may have received or be entitled to from any of
their  contractors or materialmen  with respect to the Demised Premises and that
Tenant may enforce the same either in Tenant's name or in Landlord's name.

                  8.3  Liability  of  Landlord.  Except if caused by  Landlord's
breach of this Lease or by the  negligence or willful  misconduct of Landlord or
of any of its  affiliates'  (which shall  include an affiliate of The  Homestead
Company, L.C. or of Jack West), employees,  agents or contractors,  all property
belonging  to Tenant or any occupant of the Demised  Premises  shall be there at
the risk of Tenant or such other occupant only, and Landlord shall not be liable
for theft or  misappropriation  thereof,  or loss or damage to any such property
due to vandalism,  water,  rain, snow,  frost,  fire,  storm or accident,  or by
breakage, stoppage or leakage of water, gas, heating or sewer pipes or plumbing,
upon, about or adjacent to the Demised Premises or by any other cause.

                  8.4 Removal of Personal Property. Provided that Tenant has not
accepted an offer to purchase the Demised  Premises and Other Assets pursuant to
the  Right of First  Refusal  Agreement,  dated of even date  herewith,  between
Landlord and Tenant (the "Right of First  Refusal"),  or has not  exercised  its
option to purchase the Demised  Premises and Other Assets pursuant to a separate
Purchase Option Agreement by and among the parties hereto, executed of even date
herewith (the "Option  Agreement"),  upon the  expiration or termination of this
Lease,  Tenant,  at its sole cost and  expense,  shall  remove  from the Demised
Premises all of Tenant's personal  property and equipment.  If any disfigurement
or damage  results  from such  removal,  repairs  shall be made by Tenant at its
expense to restore the Demised Premises to its original condition, ordinary wear
and tear excepted.

                  If upon  surrender  to Landlord of  possession  of the Demised
Premises,  Tenant,  at its sole cost and expense,  does not within ten (10) days
after  Landlord's  demand  remove  Tenant's  personal  property  and  equipment,
Landlord,  at  Landlord's  election,  shall  have the  right  to treat  Tenant's
property as having been  abandoned by Tenant to Landlord  without any payment or
offset.

Upon the  termination  of this  Lease,  all signs of Tenant  shall be removed in
accordance with Section 8.4.

                    ASSIGNMENT, SUBLETTING AND SUBORDINATION

                  10.1  Assignment or Subletting by Tenant.Except as hereinafter
provided,  Tenant shall not assign,  transfer,  pledge,  hypothecate or encumber
this Lease or any interest  herein,  or sublet the Demised  Premises or any part
thereof or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto, or allow any person other
than Tenant and its agents,  managers,  concessionaires,  licensees,  employees,
residents,  patients and medical staff to occupy or use the Demises  Premises or
any part thereof without  Landlord's prior written consent,  which consent shall
not  be  unreasonably  withheld  or  delayed.   Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,
Landlord's  consent  shall not be required  for, and this Section 10.1 shall not
prohibit,  (i) an assignment to a corporate  parent,  affiliate or subsidiary of
Tenant,  or any  joint  venture,  partnership  or other  entity,  provided  such
assignee  is  either  Integrated  Living   Communities,   Inc.  ("ILCI")  or  is
"controlled"  directly or indirectly by ILCI (the term  "control" as used herein
shall be deemed to mean  ownership  of at least  50% of the  outstanding  voting
stock of a corporation,  or other majority  equity and voting  interest if not a
corporation);  (ii) an  assignment  in  connection  with the sale of ten percent
(10%) or more of ILCI's  assets and (iii) an  assignment  in  connection  with a
merger or  consolidation.  Any  unauthorized  assignment  or  sublease  shall be
voidable and shall  constitute a breach of this Lease at Landlord's  option.  No
assignment  of this Lease  shall be binding on  Landlord  until (a) a  duplicate
original of such assignment, duly executed by the assignor shall be delivered to
Landlord,  and (b) the  assignee  shall  execute  and  deliver  to  Landlord  an
instrument in and by which the assignee shall assume and agree to perform,  from
and after the effective date of the assignment,  all of the terms, covenants and
conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be performed.  At least thirty (30)
days prior to the effectiveness of any assignment as to which Landlord's consent
is required,  Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a package of relevant information
concerning the assignee.  For purposes of this Lease,  any sale or transfer of a
controlling  interest in Tenant shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease.  No
assignment,  sale, transfer, pledge,  hypothecation or encumbrance shall relieve
Tenant  of any  obligation  contained  in this  Lease.  Tenant  shall pay all of
Landlord's  reasonable  costs and expenses (not in excess of $2,500),  including
reasonable  attorney's fees,  incurred in connection with any assignment,  sale,
transfer, pledge,  hypothecation,  encumbrance or sublease, for which Landlord's
consent is required.

                  10.2     Leasehold Mortgages. Tenant shall have the right from
time to time to pledge,  hypothecate,  encumber  or  mortgage  this Lease  (each
herein referred to as a "leasehold mortgage").  Landlord hereby expressly agrees
that the  holder of such  leasehold  mortgage  shall be  entitled  to all of the
rights,  privileges  and powers  afforded to the holder or holders of  leasehold
mortgages under this and other Articles of this Lease.

                  10.2.1   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
                           this  Lease,  if so  requested  by the  holder of any
                           leasehold  mortgage,  any  notice  from  Landlord  to
                           Tenant  shall  be  simultaneously  delivered  to such
                           leasehold  mortgagee  at his or its  address,  and no
                           notice of default or  termination of this Lease given
                           by  Landlord  to  Tenant  shall  be  deemed   legally
                           effective until and unless notice of such default and
                           notice of such termination shall

                           have  been  given  by  Landlord  to  such   leasehold
                           mortgagee.  Such leasehold mortgagee entitled to such
                           notice  shall have and be  subrogated  to any and all
                           rights  of  Tenant   with   respect  to  any  default
                           hereunder by Tenant. Without impairing the generality
                           of  the  foregoing  right  of   subrogation,   it  is
                           specifically agreed that any such leasehold mortgagee
                           shall  have the right to appoint  an  arbitrator,  in
                           case Tenant shall fail to make such appointment after
                           written  notice from  Landlord as provided in Article
                           XVI  hereof (a copy of which  notice  shall have been
                           simultaneously  given to such  leasehold  mortgagee),
                           and,  for  this  purpose,  shall  have an  additional
                           period of fifteen (15) days to make such appointment,
                           and the  arbitrator so appointed  shall  thereupon be
                           recognized  in all  respects as if he or she had been
                           appointed by Tenant.

                  10.2.2   Landlord will not accept any surrender,  cancellation
                           or enter into any  modification of this Lease without
                           the prior  written  consent  thereto of the holder of
                           any leasehold  mortgage who shall become  entitled to
                           notice as provided above.

                  10.2.3   If, by reason of any  default by  Tenant,  this Lease
                           shall be terminated at the election of Landlord prior
                           to the stated expiration thereof, Landlord will enter
                           into a new  lease  of the  Demised  Premises  and the
                           Other Assets with such leasehold  mortgagee (i.e. the
                           holder of a mortgage  on this Lease who shall  become
                           entitled to notice, as provided above) or its nominee
                           for the  remainder  of the term  effective  as of the
                           date of such termination, at the same Annual Rent and
                           upon  the  same  terms,  provisions,   covenants  and
                           agreements herein contained, subject, however, to the
                           rights,  if any, of any parties then in possession of
                           any part of the Demised  Premises,  provided (a) said
                           leasehold  mortgagee  shall make written request upon
                           Landlord  for such new lease within  forty-five  (45)
                           days  after  the  date of such  termination  and such
                           written request is accompanied by payment to Landlord
                           of all sums which would then be due to Landlord under
                           this  Lease  but for  the  termination  thereof,  the
                           amount  of  which  Landlord  agrees  to  advise  such
                           leasehold  mortgagee of in writing upon request;  (b)
                           said  leasehold  mortgagee  pays to Landlord,  at the
                           time of the execution and delivery of said new lease,
                           any and all sums and reasonable  expenses,  including
                           reasonable  attorneys'  fees, to which Landlord shall
                           have  been  subjected  or  paid  by  reason  of  such
                           default,  the  amount  of  which  sums  and  expenses
                           Landlord agrees to advise such leasehold mortgagee of

                           mortgagee  shall, on or before execution and delivery
                           of said new lease,  perform and observe all the other
                           covenants and conditions herein contained on Tenant's
                           part  to be  performed  and  observed  but  for  such
                           termination  to the  extent  that  Tenant  shall have
                           failed to  perform  and  observe  the same,  Landlord
                           hereby agreeing to advise such leasehold mortgagee in
                           writing,   upon   request,   of  the   covenants  and
                           conditions  which Tenant shall have failed to perform
                           and the extent of such

                           failure.  If during  such period of  forty-five  (45)
                           days  requests  for such new  lease  shall be made by
                           more than one leasehold mortgagee,  then provided the
                           provisions   of  this  Section  are  complied   with,
                           Landlord  shall be  required  to execute  and deliver
                           such new lease to that  leasehold  mortgagee  (or the
                           nominee  thereof) lowest in order of priority of lien
                           who (i) cures all defaults under all prior  leasehold
                           mortgages,  (ii) delivers to Landlord certificates or
                           letters  from  the  holders  of all  prior  leasehold
                           mortgages which certify or state that no default then
                           exists under such prior leasehold mortgages and (iii)
                           executes and  delivers,  at the time of the execution
                           of such new lease,  new  mortgages  to the holders of
                           all prior  leasehold  mortgages  on this Lease having
                           the same terms and conditions,  and securing the same
                           amounts, as such prior leasehold mortgages.  Upon the
                           execution  and  delivery  of  such  new  lease,   any
                           subleases  which may have  theretofore  been assigned
                           and   transferred  to  Landlord  shall  thereupon  be
                           assigned  and  transferred,   without  recourse,   by
                           Landlord to the new tenant. Such new lease shall have
                           the same rights and priorities as this Lease.

                  10.2.4   If Landlord  shall elect to  terminate  this Lease by
                           reason of any  default  other  than a default  in the
                           payment of money,  the then  holder of any  leasehold
                           mortgage on this Lease who shall have become entitled
                           to notice,  as  provided in this  Article,  shall not
                           only have and be  subrogated to any and all rights of
                           Tenant with respect to curing of any default and have
                           the right to  obtain a new  lease as above  provided,
                           but shall also have the right to postpone  and extend
                           the specified date for the termination of this Lease,
                           as fixed by Landlord in a notice of termination,  for
                           a period of not more than six (6) months  (subject to
                           extension as provided below), provided such leasehold
                           mortgagee shall thereafter promptly cure all defaults
                           which may be cured by the  payment  of a sum of money
                           and undertake to cure any other then existing default
                           of  Tenant  and  shall  forthwith  initiate  steps to
                           acquire   Tenant's   interest   in  this   Lease   by
                           foreclosure of its mortgage or otherwise.  Such right
                           shall  be  exercised  by  such  leasehold-mortgagee's
                           giving  Landlord  notice of the  exercise of the same
                           prior to the  termination  date  fixed in  Landlord's
                           notice of termination.  If, before the date specified
                           for the termination of this Lease as extended by such
                           leasehold-mortgagee,  Tenant  shall  be duly  removed
                           from possession, and if an assumption of performances
                           and observance of the covenants and conditions herein
                           contained  on  Tenant's   part  to  be  performed  or
                           observed  shall  be  delivered  to  Landlord  by  the
                           leasehold mortgagee, or its nominee, then and in such
                           event the  default  under this Lease  shall be deemed
                           cured and removed; and provided,  further, that if at
                           the end of said six (6) month  period such  leasehold
                           mortgagee  shall  be  actively  engaged  in  steps to
                           acquire Tenant's  interest  herein,  the time of such
                           leasehold  mortgagee to comply with the provisions of
                           this Article  shall be extended  for such  additional
                           period or periods as shall be  necessary  to complete
                           such steps with diligence,  provided that during such
                           extension no further default shall occur

                           hereunder.  Any  payment  to be made or  action to be
                           taken by a leasehold  mortgagee under this Article as
                           a  prerequisite  in  obtaining a new lease or keeping
                           this Lease in effect shall be deemed properly to have
                           been made or taken by a leasehold  mortgagee  if such
                           payment is made or action taken by a nominee or agent
                           of such leasehold mortgagee.

                  10.3     Subordination  and  Attornment.  Landlord  covenants,
represents and agrees that this Lease,  as the same may be modified,  amended or
renewed, shall not be subject or subordinate to any mortgage or mortgages now or
hereafter placed upon, or any other liens or encumbrances  hereafter  affecting,
the fee title of the Demised Premises except as otherwise  expressly provided in
this Section  10.3,  and that  Landlord will promptly and fully pay when due all
indebtedness,  and perform when  required all  obligations,  secured by any such
mortgages  or liens,  and  shall not  commit  or  permit  any  default  to occur
thereunder.  In the event that for any reason whatsoever  Landlord shall fail or
refuse to pay,  satisfy  and  discharge  any lien or  mortgage  encumbering  the
Demised  Premises  not later  than the date the same  becomes  due and  payable,
Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation,  itself to pay, satisfy and
discharge the same, in which event (i) Tenant shall have the right to receive an
assignment  of such  mortgage  (and  the  note  secured  thereby)  and  promptly
thereafter to institute  foreclosure  or other  proceedings  to enforce the same
(and the note secured thereby),  it being agreed that if Tenant so acquires such
mortgage  (and the note  secured  thereby)  the same  shall be  deemed  to be in
default by virtue of  Landlord's  failure to comply with the  provisions of this
Section, which provisions shall be deemed for such purpose to be an agreement of
modification  of such  mortgage  (and the note  secured  thereby);  and (ii) any
amounts  expended  and  expenses  incurred by Tenant in paying,  satisfying  and
discharging  such  mortgage,   and  in  bringing  proceedings  to  foreclose  or
otherwise,  to  enforce  the same,  including,  without  limitation,  reasonable
attorneys'  fees,  to the extent not paid by Landlord to Tenant,  together  with
interest thereon at the rate per annum set forth in Section 3.1.4 hereof,  shall
be deductible by Tenant,  together with interest  thereon at the rate aforesaid,
from the  installments  of Annual Rent  thereafter  falling due  hereunder.  The
rights and  remedies  provided for in  subdivisions  (i) and (ii) above shall be
cumulative  and not  mutually  exclusive.  Tenant  agrees  that upon  request of
Landlord in writing,  it will  subordinate the lien of this Lease to the lien of
any  mortgage  on the  Demised  Premises,  and to all  renewals,  modifications,
amendments,  consolidations,  replacements and extensions thereof, provided that
Tenant  shall  be  granted  a  subordination   non-disturbance  and  recognition
agreement  in   substantially   the  form  of  Exhibit  E  attached   hereto  (a
"Subordination Agreement") from the holder(s) of such mortgage. The receipt of a
Subordination  Agreement  from the  holder(s)  of any  mortgage  on the  Demised
Premises to which this Lease is subordinate  is a condition to the  commencement
of the Lease Term. Further, Tenant, as a part of any Subordination Agreement, if
requested,  shall  agree to attorn to the  holder(s)  of such  mortgage  or to a
purchaser at foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure,  in a manner reasonably
acceptable to the holder(s) of such mortgage and Tenant.  Landlord may not place
any mortgage on the Demised  Premises when the aggregate  annual debt service on
such mortgage and all other  mortgages on the Demised  Premises would exceed 90%
of the Annual Rent which is then in effect or will be in effect  during the term
of such mortgage,  or when the aggregate principal debt secured by said mortgage
and all other  mortgages  on the Demised  Premises  would exceed 80% of the fair
market value of the Demised Premises.

Landlord shall give Tenant ten (10) days prior notice of the closing of any loan
to be secured by a mortgage on the Demised Premises.

                  10.3.1   If Tenant shall give Landlord any notice of a default
                           or  breach  by  Landlord,  Tenant  agrees  to  give a
                           similar  written notice to the holder(s) of record of
                           any fee  mortgage(s)  (provided  Tenant has  received
                           written  notice of said  mortgage(s),  including  the
                           name(s) and address(es) of the then holder(s) of such
                           mortgage(s),  in the manner  provided  for in Article
                           XVIII hereof for the giving of notices to Tenant), by
                           registered  or  certified   mail,  to  such  holders'
                           respective  addresses specified in the aforementioned
                           notice to Tenant,  or to any different  address which
                           they may designate for the purpose by notice given to
                           Tenant in the aforesaid  manner;  and such  holder(s)
                           shall be  permitted  to correct or remedy such breach
                           or default within the same time within which Landlord
                           may do so, and with like  effect as if  Landlord  had
                           done so.  Tenant's  failure to give to such holder(s)
                           the  notice  provided  in this  Section  shall not be
                           deemed a default by Tenant  under this Lease,  but no
                           notice  given by Tenant to Landlord of any default or
                           breach by Landlord shall be deemed legally  effective
                           until  Tenant  shall have  given  such  notice to the
                           holder(s)  of the first fee  mortgage  at the time on
                           the Demised  Premises  (provided  Tenant has received
                           notice of said  holder(s) as provided  above).  In no
                           event shall  Tenant be required to give more than one
                           notice, to be sent to one address,  in respect of any
                           one mortgage pursuant to this Section.

                  10.3.2   In the  event  that  any  fee  mortgagee  comes  into
                           possession  or  ownership of the title to the Demised
                           Premises,  or  acquires  the  interest of Landlord by
                           foreclosure of its mortgage) or by proceedings on the
                           bond or debt secured  thereby,  or otherwise,  Tenant
                           agrees  to attorn  to such fee  mortgagee  as its new
                           landlord.

                  10.4     Sale by Landlord. Landlord covenants that it will not
sell or convey any right, title or interest in the Demised Premises prior to the
first  anniversary  of the  Commencement  Date,  without  Tenant's prior written
consent.  In any event,  any sale or conveyance  of the Demised  Premises or any
part  thereof,  shall be subject to the Option  Agreement and the Right of First
Refusal and shall be made subject to this Lease.

                  10.4.1   In the  event of a sale or  transfer  of the  Demised
                           Premises by Landlord, with respect to either of which
                           either  Tenant's  consent has been obtained or is not
                           required,  the grantor or transferor shall thereafter
                           be entirely relieved of all obligations thereafter to
                           be performed by Landlord  under this Lease,  provided
                           that the  purchaser or transferee on any such sale or
                           transfer has assumed and agreed pursuant to a written
                           instrument satisfactory to Tenant to perform, observe
                           and be bound by any and all covenants, conditions and
                           obligations  of  Landlord  hereunder  and  under  the
                           Option  Agreement  and the  Right  of  First  Refusal
                           arising from and after such sale

                           or transfer and to be subject to all of the rights of
                           Tenant under this Lease and the Option  Agreement and
                           the Right of First Refusal  whether  arising prior to
                           or after  such sale or  transfer,  including  without
                           limitation  all setoff rights,  and provided  further
                           that (i) any amount then due and payable to Tenant or
                           for which  Landlord or the then grantor or transferor
                           would  otherwise  then be liable  to Tenant  shall be
                           paid to Tenant;  (ii) the  interest of the grantor or
                           transferor in any funds then in the hands of Landlord
                           or the then grantor or transferor in which Tenant has
                           an interest shall be turned over, subject to Tenant's
                           interest,  to the then  grantee  or  transferee;  and
                           (iii)  notice  of such  sale or  transfer  signed  by
                           Landlord or the then grantor or transferor and by the
                           then  grantee or  transferee  shall be  delivered  to
                           Tenant  together  with a true  copy  of the  transfer
                           document  and a true copy of the  written  assumption
                           agreement.

                  10.5     Estoppel   Certificates.   Tenant,  upon  request  by
Landlord or any  prospective  or actual  mortgagee or purchaser of the Facility,
shall execute and deliver to Landlord within ten (10) business days,  after such
request,  an estoppel  certificate  addressed to  Landlord,  and if requested by
Landlord  also to such  mortgagee or purchaser as is  identified  in  Landlord's
request,  which  estoppel  certificate  shall  state,  to the extent  true,  the
following facts: (a) that a Lease, as attached to the estoppel certificate, is a
true and  correct  copy of this Lease and that this Lease has not been  modified
except as set forth in such  attachment or terminated;  (b) that the Annual Rent
in this  Lease as so  modified  has not been  modified;  (c) that  there  are no
outside agreements that would affect such mortgagee or purchaser or any of their
rights under this Lease or to the Demised  Premises except as otherwise noted in
the estoppel  certificate;  (d) that to Tenant's knowledge there are no disputes
existing as to this Lease; (e) that to Tenant's  knowledge Landlord has complied
with the  terms  of this  Lease  (as so  amended)  to the  date of the  estoppel
certificate and is not in default under any of its obligations contained in this
Lease  (as so  amended)  (or if such  is not the  case,  specifying  the  nature
thereof) and Landlord has not given Tenant  notice of any default  which remains
uncured (or if such is not the case, specifying the nature thereof); (f) that no
Annual Rent has been paid more than thirty (30) days in advance; (g) that Tenant
has accepted  possession  of the Demised  Premises;  (h) the dates through which

purchaser.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  Tenant  shall not be  obligated to
furnish any such estoppel certificate more often than two times during any Lease
Year unless the request for the same is being made in  contemplation of the sale
or mortgaging of the Demised Premises and the prospective purchaser or mortgagee
is requiring the same.

                           (a)   The  failure  of  Tenant  to pay any part of an
Annual  Rent  payment  due under  this  Lease on or before  its due date,  which
failure  continues  for ten (10) days after the  receipt of written  notice from
Landlord.

                           (b)   Any  assignment,  transfer  or sublease of this
Lease or the Demised Premises in violation of Article X hereof.

                           (c    The failure to occupy the  Demised  Premises on
the Commencement Date or the abandonment of the Demised Premises by Tenant.

                           (d)   The failure of Tenant to perform  any  material
covenant or obligation  contained  herein other than the payment of Annual Rent,
which failure has not been corrected by Tenant within thirty (30) days following
written  notice  from  Landlord  specifying  the  covenant or  obligation  to be
remedied,  or if the correction of same  reasonably  requires longer than thirty
(30) days,  if Tenant  shall not have  commenced to correct the same within such
thirty  (30) day period and  thereafter  proceed to cure the same in good faith,
with diligence, and within a reasonable period of time.

                           (e)   If  any  representation  or  warranty  made  by
Tenant under this Lease shall prove to have been false in any  material  respect
when made and the same has not been  corrected by Tenant within thirty (30) days
following written notice from Landlord specifying the representation or warranty
in question, or if the correction of same reasonably requires longer than thirty
(30) days,  if Tenant  shall not have  commenced to correct the same within such
thirty (30) day period and thereafter be proceeding with reasonable diligence to
correct the same.

                  11.2     Landlord's  Rights  and Remedies.  Upon the happening
of any Event of Default and during the  continuance  thereof,  Landlord,  at its
option,  and without further demand or notice,  shall have the following  rights
and  remedies in addition to any rights  provided by law,  all of which shall be
cumulative:

                           (a)   Perform any  covenant or  obligation  of Tenant
and  charge  the  reasonable  cost  of the  cure  to  the  next  installment  or
installments of Annual Rent due.

                           (b)   Retake   possession  of  the  Demised  Premises
without  terminating  this  Lease  and relet the  Demised  Premises  or any part
thereof to a third party. If Landlord relets the Demised  Premises (either for a
term  greater  than,  less than or equal to the  unexpired  portion of the Lease
Term) for an  aggregate  rent during the portion of such new lease which is less
than Annual Rent and other  charges  which Tenant would pay  hereunder  for such
period,  Landlord may immediately upon the making of such new lease, sue for and
recover the  difference  between the aggregate  rental  provided for in said new
lease for the  balance  of the term  coextensive  with the Lease  Term,  and the
Annual Rent which Tenant would pay hereunder for such period,  together with any
reasonable  expenses to which  Landlord  may be put for  brokerage  commissions,
placing the Demised Premises in tenantable condition,  and other related charges
or expenses  accrued prior to the new lease or otherwise.  In the event Landlord
does not collect the entire amount of the aggregate  rental provided for in such
new lease, Landlord may sue for and recover the difference


                                     - 25 -
<PAGE>


between the amount of such aggregate  rental  actually  collected and the Annual
Rent which Tenant would pay hereunder.  If such new lease or tenancy is made for
a shorter term than the balance of the Lease Term, or for a greater rental,  any
such action brought by Landlord to collect the deficit for that period shall not
bar Landlord from  thereafter  suing for any loss accruing during the balance of
the unexpired  Lease Term whether or not due to expiration or termination of the
new lease.

                           (c)   Give a thirty (30) day's notice of  termination
of this Lease (regardless of whether Landlord prior to the giving of such notice
shall have accepted rent or any other payment,  however designated,  for the use
and  occupancy of the Demised  Premises  from or on behalf of Tenant or from any
other person) to Tenant  specifying  such Event or Events of Default and stating
that this  Lease and the Lease  Term  shall  expire  and  terminate  on the date
specified in such  notice,  which date shall be at least ten (10) days after the
giving of such  notice.  In the event such  notice is given,  this Lease and the
Lease Term and all rights of Tenant under this Lease shall expire and  terminate
upon the date  specified  in such  notice  with the same  effect  as if the date
specified  in such notice were the date  originally  set forth in this Lease for
the expiration of the term, but Tenant shall remain liable as provided below.

                           Upon  any  such  expiration  or  termination  of this
Lease,  Tenant  shall quit and  peacefully  surrender  the  Demised  Premises to
Landlord,  and  Landlord,  upon or at any  time  after  any such  expiration  or
termination,  may,  without further notice,  enter upon and re-enter the Demised
Premises  and possess and  repossess  itself  thereof,  by summary  proceedings,
ejectment or  otherwise,  and may  dispossess  Tenant and remove  Tenant and all
other  persons and property  from the Demised  Premises  and may have,  hold and
enjoy the Demised  Premises  and the right to receive  all rental  income of and
from the same.

                           No such  expiration  or  termination  of this  Lease,
including the re-entry of Landlord,  shall  relieve  Tenant of its liability and
obligations to pay the Annual Rent theretofore  accrued or thereafter  accruing,
as more  particularly  set forth in paragraph (g) below,  and such liability and
obligations shall survive any such expiration or termination.

                           (d)   Tenant knowingly and voluntarily waives any and
all rights of redemption which Tenant may now have or hereafter acquire pursuant
to statute or court decision, except for notice as provided in this Article.

                           (e)   The rights and  remedies  given to  Landlord in
this Lease are distinct, separate and cumulative, and no one of them, whether or
not  exercised  by  Landlord,  shall be deemed to be in  exclusion of any of the
others  herein or by law or in equity  provided  and the exercise by Landlord of
any one or more of the rights or remedies  provided  for in this Lease shall not
preclude  the  simultaneous  or later  exercise  by Landlord of any or all other
rights or remedies.

                           (f)   No receipt of monies by Landlord  from  Tenant,
after the cancellation or termination of this Lease in any lawful manner,  shall
reinstate,  continue or extend the Lease Term, or affect any notice  theretofore
given to Tenant or operate as a waiver of the right of  Landlord  to enforce the
payment of Annual Rent then due or thereafter falling due, or operate as


                                     - 26 -
<PAGE>


a waiver of the right of Landlord to recover  possession of the Demised Premises
by proper suit, action,  proceeding or other remedy; it being agreed that, after
the  service  of  notice  to cancel or  terminate  as  herein  provided  and the
expiration of the time therein  specified,  after the  commencement of any suit,
action,  proceeding  or other  remedy  or after a final  order or  judgment  for
possession of the Demised Premises, Landlord may demand, receive and collect any
monies due, or  thereafter  falling due,  without in any manner  affecting  such
notice, suit, action, proceeding, order or judgment; and any and all such monies
so collected shall be deemed to be payments on account of the use and occupation
of the Demised Premises,  or at the election of Landlord, on account of Tenant's
liability hereunder.

                           (g)   In the event of the  termination  of this Lease
as  provided  in  this  Article  or  by  operation  of  law  or  issuance  of  a
dispossessory warrant or otherwise,  Tenant shall remain liable under this Lease
for the payment of Annual Rent and the observance  and  performance of all other
covenants  on its part to be  performed;  and  Landlord  shall have the right to
alter,  change or remodel the  improvements on the Demised Premises and to lease
or let the same, or portions thereof,  or not to lease or let the same, for such
periods of time and at such rentals and for such use and upon such covenants and
conditions  as Landlord  may elect,  applying  the net rentals or avails of such
letting,  if any, first to the payment of Landlord's  expenses in  dispossessing
Tenant and the costs or  expenses  of making  such  improvements  in the Demised
Premises as may be necessary in order to enable  Landlord to relet the same, and
then to the payment of any brokerage  commissions  or other expenses of Landlord
in connection with such reletting;  and the balance, if any, shall be applied by
Landlord  at least once a month,  on account of the  payments  due or payable by
Tenant  hereunder,  if any,  with the right  reserved  to Landlord to bring such
action(s) or  proceeding(s)  for the recovery of any deficits  remaining  unpaid
without  being  obliged  to  await  the  end  of  the  Lease  Term  for a  final
determination  of Tenant's  account,  and the commencement or maintenance of any
one or more actions  shall not bar Landlord  from  bringing  other or subsequent
actions for further  accruals  pursuant to the  provisions of this Section.  Any
balance  remaining,  however,  after full payment and  liquidation of Landlord's
accounts  for the  remainder  of the Lease Term as  aforesaid,  shall be paid to
Tenant  with  the  right  reserved  to  Landlord  at any  time,  if it  has  not
theretofore  terminated  this  Lease,  to give  notice to  Tenant of  Landlord's
election to cancel this Lease and  discharge all the  obligations  thereunder of
either  party to the other,  and the giving of such notice and the  simultaneous
payment by Landlord to Tenant of any credit  balance in Tenant's  favor that may
at such time be owing,  shall  constitute a final and effective  cancellation of
this  Lease and a  discharge  of the  obligations  thereof on the part of either
party to the other. Tenant agrees to pay, in addition to the rent and other sums
required to be paid  hereunder,  such  additional  sums as the court may adjudge
reasonable as attorneys'  fees in any  successful  suit or action  instituted by
Landlord  to enforce  the  provisions  of this Lease or the  collections  of the
amounts  due  Landlord  hereunder.  Should any rent  collected  by  Landlord  be
insufficient  to fully pay to Landlord a sum equal to all Annual  Rent  reserved
herein and other charges  payable  hereunder for the remainder of the Lease Term
originally  demised,  the balance or  deficiency  shall be paid by Tenant on the
rent days herein  specified,  that is, upon each of such rent days Tenant  shall
pay to Landlord the amount of the deficiency then existing;  and Tenant shall be
and remain liable for any such deficiency,  and the right of Landlord to recover
from  Tenant  the amount  thereof,  or a sum equal to all such  Annual  Rent and
Additional  Rent and  other  charges  payable  hereunder,  if there  shall be no
reletting, shall survive the issuance of any


                                     - 27 -
<PAGE>


dispossessory  warrant or other cancellation or termination hereof, and Landlord
shall be entitled to retain any surplus;  and Tenant hereby expressly waives any
defense that might be predicated upon the issuance of such dispossessory warrant
or other cancellation or termination hereof.

                            (h)  In  any  of  the  circumstances   mentioned  in
paragraph  (g) of this  Section in which  Landlord  shall have the right to hold
Tenant  liable upon the several rent days as therein  provided,  Landlord  shall
have the right to  election,  in place and instead of holding  Tenant so liable,
forthwith to recover  against  Tenant as damages for loss of the bargain and not
as a penalty,  in addition to any other  damages  becoming due, an aggregate sum
which,  at the  time of the  termination  of this  Lease or of the  recovery  of
possession of the Demised Premises by Landlord,  as the case may be,  represents
the then present worth of the excess (computed by discounting such excess at the
simple rate of six (6%) percent per annum),  if any, of the  aggregate of Annual
Rent and all other charges  payable by Tenant  hereunder that would have accrued
for the balance of the Lease Term over the aggregate rental value of the Demised
Premises  (such rental value to be computed on the basis of a tenant  paying not
only a rent to Landlord for the use and occupation of the Demised Premises,  but
also such additional rent and other charges as are required to be paid by Tenant
under the terms of this Lease) for the balance of such Lease Term.

                            (i)  Suit  or  suits   for  the   recovery   of  the
deficiency  or  damages  referred  to  above in  paragraphs  (g) and (h) of this
Section, or for any installment or installments of Annual Rent hereunder, or for
a sum equal to any such  installment or installments may be brought by Landlord,
from time to time at Landlord's  election,  and nothing in this Lease  contained
shall be deemed to require  Landlord to await the date whereon this Lease or the
Lease Term would have  expired by  limitation  had there been no such default by
Tenant or no such cancellation or termination.

                            (j)  Landlord's  failure  to  insist  on the  strict
performance  of and  compliance  with each condition in this Lease shall neither
constitute  nor be construed as  constituting a waiver by Landlord of Landlord's
rights  under  this  Article  or by law,  nor  constitute  nor be  construed  as
consisting of a waiver by Landlord of a second or  subsequent  default by Tenant
of the same  condition.  In the event  litigation is commenced,  it shall not be
necessary for Landlord to notify Tenant of any additional occurrences of default
prior to proceeding as permitted.

                            (k)  In the event of the  termination  or expiration
of this Lease,  Tenant  shall  cooperate  with  Landlord in the  transfer to the
subsequent  operator of the  Facility of all  licenses  and permits  required to
continue to operate the  Facility  as an assisted  living  facility or a nursing
care  facility,  whichever  was being  operated at the Facility by Tenant at the
time of such termination or expiration.

                  11.3      Default by Landlord.  If  Landlord defaults  in  the
observance or performance of any covenant, condition or obligation in this Lease
on its part to be observed or  performed,  Landlord  shall have thirty (30) days
after receiving written notice from Tenant stating the default complained of and
referring to the Article and Section in this Lease relied on by Tenant,  to cure
or cause to be cured any such  default,  or if such  default  is not  capable of
being


                                     - 28 -

<PAGE>


cured  within  such  thirty  (30) days to  commence to cure the same during such
thirty (30) days and  thereafter  proceed to cure the same in good  faith,  with
diligence, and within a reasonable period of time.

                  If Landlord  fails to cure any such  default or to  diligently
and  in  good  faith  pursue  the  cure  as  provided  for  herein,  or  if  any
representation  or warranty made by or on behalf of Landlord in this Lease or in
any  document  or  agreement  delivered  in  connection  with  the  transactions
contemplated  by this  Lease  shall  prove to have been  false or  incorrect  or
breached in any material  respect on the date as of which made,  then Tenant may
sue Landlord for its damages,  including,  without  limitation,  such additional
sums as the court may adjudge  reasonable as attorneys'  fees in any  successful
suit or action instituted by Tenant to enforce the provisions of this Lease, and
may further obtain injunctive  relief if necessary to maintain  operation of the
Demised   Premises  or  comply  with  applicable   legal   requirements  of  any
governmental authority.  In addition,  Tenant may at its option, without waiving
any claim for damages for breach of agreement,  at any time thereafter cure such
default for the  account of  Landlord,  and any amount  paid or any  contractual
liability  incurred by Tenant in so doing  shall be deemed paid or incurred  for
the account of Landlord,  and Landlord  agrees to reimburse  Tenant  therefor or
save Tenant harmless  therefrom;  provided that Tenant may cure any such default
as  aforesaid  prior  to the  expiration  of said  thirty  (30)  day  period  if
reasonably  necessary to cure a default under any mortgage or encumbrance  which
is a lien on the  Demised  Premises,  or to  protect  the  Demised  Premises  or
Tenant's  interest  therein,  or to  prevent  injury  or damage  to  persons  or
property,  or to enable Tenant to conduct its business in the Demised  Premises.
If Landlord  shall fail to reimburse  Tenant upon demand for any amount paid for
the  account  of  Landlord  hereunder  or for any  other sum  payable  to Tenant
pursuant to this Lease,  said amount plus interest thereon at the rate per annum
set forth in Section  3.1.4  hereof  from the date of demand upon  Landlord  for
payment,  may be deducted by Tenant from the next or any succeeding  payments of
Annual Rent due hereunder.

                  11.4      Delays.  Whenever this Lease requires any act (other
than the payment of a liquidated sum of money,  e.g.,  rental  payments,  taxes,
utilities,  or  any  obligation  that  may be  satisfied  by  the  payment  of a
liquidated  sum of money) by Landlord or Tenant within a certain  period of time
or by a certain time, the time for the performance of such act shall be extended
by the period of any delay caused by war,  strikes,  lockouts,  civil commotion,
storms,  weather,   electrical  blackouts,   unpreventable  material  shortages,
casualties,  acts of God or other  conditions  or events  beyond the  reasonable
control of the obligated party;  provided,  however, that written notice of such
delay and the cause and circumstances  thereof shall be given to the other party
promptly after the  commencement  of such delay and such delay becoming known by
the obligated party.


                                   ARTICLE XII
                           DAMAGE TO DEMISED PREMISES

                  12.1      Major Damage. In the event that the Demised Premises
are damaged by fire or other casualty,  and the damage or loss exceeds  $50,000,
then Tenant shall promptly notify


                                     - 29 -
<PAGE>


Landlord  in writing of such an event.  If the damage is to an extent that there
is Major Damage,  as  hereinafter  defined,  it shall be the option of Tenant to
cancel this Lease by written notice to Landlord  within sixty (60) days from the
date of such Major Damage.

                  The term "Major Damage" shall mean any damage wherein: (a) the
estimated cost of fully  repairing the damage exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the
then full replacement  value or (b) 25% or more of the improvements are rendered
unsuitable  for  occupancy  or (c) the damage is caused by an event which is not
covered by the  insurance  policy which Tenant is required to carry  pursuant to
Article XV hereof,  and the estimated cost of fully repairing the damage exceeds
the net amount of insurance  proceeds received by Tenant with respect thereto by
$50,000 or more.  Annual Rent shall abate in  accordance  with  Section  12.2 if
Tenant is unable to use all or any part of the Demised  Premises  while  repairs
are being made;  provided,  however,  that any  abatement  so granted  shall not
exceed the amount of the proceeds actually received by Landlord under any policy
of rent insurance carried for the benefit of Landlord.

                  If Tenant  elects to  terminate  this Lease  pursuant  to this
Section  12.1,  this Lease shall  terminate  fifteen (15) days after the date of
notice,  Tenant shall surrender  possession to Landlord,  and all accrued rights
under this Lease shall survive termination.

                  12.2  Nonmajor  Damage.  Any other damage to the Facility from
any casualty or risk which does not qualify as Major Damage,  shall be deemed to
be nonmajor.  If Tenant does not elect to  terminate  this Lease under the Major
Damage  provision in Section  12.1,  or if the damage is  nonmajor,  then Tenant
shall,  at its sole  cost  and  expense,  repair  or  rebuild  the  Facility  to
substantially the same condition as existed  immediately prior to the damage, in
accordance with applicable federal,  state and local statutes,  laws, ordinances
and codes and sufficient to meet licensure  requirements  of the State of Kansas
for assisted living  facilities or nursing care  facilities,  as the case may be
according to the actual use by Tenant. The restoration shall be commenced within
ninety  (90) days  after  settlement  shall  have  been made with the  insurance
companies and the insurance  monies shall have been turned over to the Insurance
Trustee (as hereinafter  defined) or Tenant,  as the case may be, as provided in
Article  XV hereof  and the  necessary  governmental  approvals  shall have been
obtained,  and such work shall be completed as promptly as reasonably  possible.
Tenant shall also restore any damaged Leased Equipment.

                  The Insurance Trustee shall, provided this Lease shall then be
in full force and effect, apply the net proceeds of any insurance to the payment
of the cost of such repairing or rebuilding as the same progresses,  payments to
be made against properly certified  vouchers of a competent  architect in charge
of the work who is selected by Tenant and approved by Landlord,  which  approval
shall not be  unreasonably  withheld or delayed.  The  Insurance  Trustee  shall
advance out of such insurance proceeds toward each payment,  to be made by or on
behalf of Tenant, an amount which shall bear the same proportion to such payment
as the whole amount  received by the  Insurance  Trustee shall bear to the total
estimated  cost  of the  repairing  or  rebuilding  except,  however,  that  the
Insurance  Trustee  shall  withhold  from  each  amount  so to be paid by it ten
percent (10%) thereof until the work of repairing or rebuilding  shall have been
substantially  completed,  and proof furnished that no lien has attached or will
attach to the Demised Premises in connection with such repairs or rebuilding. If
the total estimated cost of the repairs


                                     - 30 -
<PAGE>


or  rebuilding  shall  exceed the amount of the net  proceeds of such  insurance
received by the Insurance  Trustee,  the Insurance  Trustee shall be entitled to
require of Tenant that,  before such  repairing or rebuilding be commenced,  the
Insurance Trustee be secured by a surety bond or cash equal to the amount of the
excess of such  estimated  cost over the net insurance  proceeds as security for
the due completion, within a reasonable time, of such repairs or rebuilding; and
if Tenant makes a cash deposit as  aforesaid,  such cash deposit shall be deemed
to be part of the net insurance proceeds for the purpose of this paragraph.  The
contract price fixed in Tenant's  contract with the contractor who or which will
perform such repairing or rebuilding  shall be deemed to be the total  estimated
cost of such repairs or rebuilding  for the purposes of this  paragraph.  If the
insurance  proceeds  shall  exceed the cost of such repairs or  rebuilding,  the
balance  remaining after payment of the cost of such repairs or rebuilding shall
be paid over and belong to Tenant.

                  In the  event  Tenant  is unable to use all or any part of the
Facility while Tenant  repairs or rebuilds  same,  then the Annual Rent shall be
reduced and abated by a just,  fair and equitable  proportion of the Annual Rent
payable  according  to the  size,  nature  and  extent of the  property  that is
damaged,  taking into account the practical and economic effect of the damage in
question on the operation of the Demised Premises; provided, however, that there
shall be no such abatement in the event Tenant has not  maintained  insurance in
accordance with the provisions of Section 15.3. The abatement of the Annual Rent
shall  commence  with the date of the damage and continue  until the repairs are
substantially completed.  Other obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall not
abate in any manner.

                                  ARTICLE XIII
                    LANDLORD'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

         Landlord and Jack West each hereby represents and warrants to Tenant as

complete and correct.  Landlord has the power and  authority to own the property
and assets now owned by it and to conduct the business presently being conducted
by it and as currently proposed to be conducted.

                  13.2   Authority.   Landlord   has  the  full,   absolute  and

the part of Landlord,  its managing member (as hereinafter defined) and members,
and all consents of holders of indebtedness of Landlord have been obtained.



                                     - 31 -

constitute  the legal,  valid and binding  obligation  of Landlord,  enforceable

                  13.4  Absence of Conflicting Agreements. None of the execution
or  delivery  of  this  Lease  or any of  Landlord  Transaction  Documents,  the

Documents; or (ii) any applicable law, rule, judgment,  order, writ, injunction,
or decree of any court  currently  in effect;  or (iii) any  applicable  rule or
regulation  of  any  administrative  agency  or  other  governmental   authority
currently in effect;  or (iv) except as set forth on Schedule  13.4, any written
or oral  agreement,  indenture,  contract or instrument to which Landlord or any
managing  member  thereof is now a party or by which any of them or the  Demised

necessary in connection with Landlord's  execution,  delivery and performance of
this Lease or any of Landlord Transaction Documents,  or for the consummation of
the  transactions  contemplated  hereby or thereby.  Said Schedule 13.5 shall be
updated to the extent  necessary on and as of the day preceding the Commencement

                  13.6  Contracts.

                        (a)      Schedule 13.6 sets forth a complete and correct
list of all  agreements,  contracts and  commitments,  whether  written or oral,
relating to the Facility, its operation or the Other Assets by which Landlord or
the  Demised  Premises  is bound (the  "Contracts").  Landlord is not in default

and  there  has not been  asserted,  either  by or  against  Landlord  under any
Contract, any notice of default,  set-off or claim of default which has not been

parties to the Contracts are  affiliated  with Landlord or are in default of any
of their respective obligations under the Contracts,  and there has not occurred
any event which with the passage of time or the giving of notice (or both) would
constitute  a default  or breach  under any  Contract.  All  amounts  payable by
Landlord  under the  Contracts  are, or will at the  Commencement  Date, be on a
current  basis.  Except  as set  forth  on  Schedule  13.6,  the  Contracts  are
assignable to Tenant  without the consent of the remaining  parties  thereto and
each of the Contracts can be terminated  without  penalty by Landlord upon sixty
(60) or less days  notice.  Said  Schedule  13.6  shall be updated to the extent
necessary on and as of the day preceding the Commencement Date.

"Licenses").  The Licenses constitute all of the licenses,  permits,  easements,
rights or other authorizations of any Governmental Body or any other Person that
are necessary for the current operation of the Demised Premises. Each License is
final (the  effectiveness  of each not being subject to the  satisfaction of any
conditions  precedent),  not  subject  to  lapse,  termination,   revocation  or
expiration  for failure to meet any  conditions  or  requirements  or otherwise,
including without limitation the delivery of an unqualified  certificate of need
or similar  certificate or document.  Landlord has delivered to Tenant copies of
all of the Licenses.  Landlord owns, possesses or has the legal right to use the
Licenses,  free and clear of all liens, pledges, claims or other encumbrances of
any nature  whatsoever.  Except as disclosed on Schedule 13.9,  Landlord has not
received  any notice of any claim or default  or any other  claim or  proceeding
relating  to any such  License  which  has not been  cured or any  notice of any
threatened termination,  lapse or revocation of any License.  Landlord is not in

in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect. The Demised Premises
are fully and completely licensed by all appropriate authorities for Landlord to
carry on the business presently  conducted at the Demised Premises.  No managing
member,  member,  employee or former employee of Landlord,  or immediate  family
member of any managing member or member, of Landlord,  or any other person, firm
or corporation owns or has any proprietary,  financial or other interest, direct
or indirect, in whole or in part in any such License owned, possessed or used in
the operation of the Demised Premises as now operated.  Said Schedule 13.9 shall
be  updated  to  the  extent  necessary  on  and as of  the  day  preceding  the
Commencement Date.

                   13.10    Title, Condition of Personal Property.

                            (a)    Except for the security  interests listed and
described  on Schedule  13.10(a),  Landlord  has good title to all of the Leased
Equipment,  subject to no mortgage, security interest, pledge, lien, conditional
sales agreement, lease, claim, encumbrance, easement, title exception or charge,
or restraint on transfer whatsoever (collectively,  "Lien"). No other person has
any right to the use or possession of any of the Leased Equipment and, except as
set forth on Schedule 13.10(a),  no currently effective financing statement with
respect to the Leased Equipment has been filed in any jurisdiction, and Landlord
has  not  signed  any  such  financing   statement  or  any  security  agreement
authorizing any secured party  thereunder to file any such financing  statement.
During  the  five (5) year  period  preceding  the  date  hereof,  Landlord  has
conducted its business  activities  only under the  corporate  and/or trade name

applicable  federal,  state  and  local  laws,  rules  and  regulations,  and is

                           (b)     Except  as set  forth on  Schedule  13.10(b),
none of the property  used by Landlord in  connection  with the operation of the
Demised Premises is subject to a conditional sale,  security interest or similar
arrangement.  Schedule 13.10(b) sets forth a complete and correct description of
each of the  Personal  Property  Leases  relating to the Demised  Premises as to
which  Landlord  is a party  (together  with  all  modifications  or  amendments
thereto),  the  annual  rental and  unexpired  lease  term  thereby  and all the
information set forth thereon is complete,  correct and accurate.  True, correct
and complete copies of each of said Personal  Property Leases (together with all
modifications or amendments  thereto) have been delivered to Tenant. All of said
Personal  Property Leases are valid,  binding and enforceable in accordance with
their  respective  terms and are in full force and  effect.  Landlord  is not in
default under any such lease, the consequences of which, either in an individual
case or in the aggregate,  would have a Material  Adverse Effect,  and there has
not been  asserted,  either by or against  Landlord  under any such  lease,  any
notice of  default,  set-off,  or claim of  default.  The parties to such leases
other than Landlord are not in default of their respective obligations under any
such lease,  and there has not occurred any event which with the passage of time
or giving of notice (or both) would  constitute  such a default or breach  under
any such lease. Except as otherwise set forth on Schedule 13.10(b), each of said
Personal  Property  Leases is  assignable  to Tenant  without the consent of the
lessor of such property.  Said Schedule  13.10(b) shall be updated to the extent
necessary on and as of the day preceding the Commencement Date.

                  13.11    Title, Condition of the Demised Premises.

Demised Premises, insurable by any reputable, licensed title company selected by
Tenant at  regular  rates,  free and clear of all Liens of any kind  whatsoever,
other  than  those set forth on  13.11(a)  (the  "Permitted  Exceptions").  Said
Schedule  13.11(a) shall be updated to the extent necessary on and as of the day
preceding the Commencement Date.

                           (b)     There are no leases  or other  agreements  of
Landlord,  as lessor,  granting  any third  party the right to use or occupy any
part of the Demised Premises (except the rights of the residents and patients of
the Demised  Premises)  and no person,  firm or entity other than Tenant has any
ownership  interest or option or right of first refusal to acquire any ownership
interest in the Demised Premises or any building or improvements thereon.

                           (c)     All    buildings   and   other   improvements
comprising  the Demised  Premises  (including all roads,  parking areas,  curbs,
sidewalks,  sewers and other  utilities)  have been  completed  and installed in
accordance with applicable  requirements of all governmental  authorities having
jurisdiction  thereof.  Such permanent  certificates  of occupancy and all other
licenses,  permits,  authorizations  and approvals  required by all governmental
authorities  having  jurisdiction  and the requisite annual fire safety and life
safety  inspections as were required to be issued or conducted for the buildings
and other improvements  comprising the Demised Premises,  have been issued, paid

occupancy issued for the Demised Premises;  and no written notice of any failure
to comply with or  violation  of any federal,  state,  county or municipal  law,
ordinance, order, regulation or requirement affecting the Demised Premises shall
have been issued by any  governmental  authority  or agency.  There have been no
changes  to  building,  health or fire codes  that  would be  applicable  to the
Demised  Premises;  and  there  has  been no  change  in the use of the  Demised
Premises  that would  have  caused  any  modifications  to have been made to the
Demised Premises pursuant to any such building, health or fire codes.

                           (e)     There is no  plan,  study  or  effort  by any
governmental  authority  or agency  which in any way affects or would affect the
present use or zoning of the Demised Premises or any part thereof.  There are no

Schedule  13.11(e) shall be updated to the extent necessary on and as of the day
preceding the Commencement  Date. No subdivision  plan or plans  (preliminary or
otherwise) have been, or will be filed by Landlord,  with respect to the Demised
Premises.  The  Demised  Premises  are not  located in areas  designated  by the
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development or any other  governmental  authority
or agency as having special flood or mud slide hazards.

                           (f)     The   buildings   and   other    improvements

limitation,  the  heating,  ventilation  and  air  condition  systems,  and  the
plumbing,  electrical,  mechanical  and drainage  systems,  and roof are in good
operating  condition,  repair and working  order,  and have passed all  previous
safety  and/or  licensing  inspections,   and  such  systems  are  adequate  and
sufficient for use in connection with an assisted living facility, ordinary wear
and tear expected.

                           (g)     There  is  no  proceeding  pending  to  which
Landlord is a party  relating to the  assessed  valuation  of any portion of the
Demised  Premises and, except as set forth on Schedule  13.11(e),  no assessment

unpaid.

                           (h)     All  public   utilities   required   for  the
operation  of the Demised  Premises  either enter the Demised  Premises  through

                           (i)     There   are  no   easements   traversing   or
contiguous  to the Demised  Premises  which are not disclosed on any schedule to
this Lease or on any title report  delivered to Tenant,  or which interfere with
the intended use and operation of the Demised Premises.

is no basis  therefor,  against or affecting the Demised  Premises or Landlord's
rights therein or ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, at
law or in equity or otherwise,  before or by any court or governmental agency or
body, domestic or foreign, or before an arbitrator of any kind. Landlord has not

has been no material adverse change in the relationship between Landlord and its
employees  nor any  strike  or labor  disturbance  by such  employees  affecting
Landlord's  business and there is no  indication  that such a change,  strike or

Member"  shall not include any  corporation  or trade or business for any period
during which the  termination or withdrawal  from any employee  pension  benefit

could not subject  Landlord or any Subsidiary of Landlord to any liability under
the Code or ERISA.  (For the purposes of this Lease,  "Subsidiary"  shall,  with
respect to any Person,  mean any  corporation  in which the holders of more than
50% of the  capital  stock are  ordinarily,  in the  absence  of  contingencies,

misconduct  or breach of this Lease.  Landlord  and Jack West shall at all times

pension fund, credit company or real estate investment trust, and such mortgagee
has resources in excess of $100,000,000 (an "Institutional  Lender"), and if not
then said proceeds shall be paid to and deposited with any Institutional  Lender
of Tenant's  selection,  as insurance trustee (the "Insurance  Trustee"),  which
shall  hold,  apply  and  make  available  the  proceeds  of such  insurance  as
hereinafter provided in this Lease.

                  15.7  Waiver of Subrogation. Each party to this Lease releases
the other party  (which term as used in this  Section  includes  the  employees,
agents,  officers,  managing  member,  members and directors of the other party)
from all liability, whether for negligence or otherwise, in connection with loss
covered by any fire  and/or  extended  coverage  insurance  policies,  which the
releasor  carries  with  respect to the  Demised  Premises,  or any  interest or
property  therein or thereon  (whether or not such  insurance  is required to be
carried  under this  Lease),  but only to the extent that such loss is collected
under said fire and/or extended  coverage  insurance  policies.  Such release is
also  conditioned  upon the  inclusion  in the policy or policies of a provision
whereby any such release shall not adversely affect said policies,  or prejudice
any right of the  releasor  to recover  thereunder.  Each party  agrees that its
insurance  policies  aforesaid will include such a provision so long as the same
shall be  obtainable  without  extra  cost,  or if extra  cost  shall be charged
therefor,  so long as the party for whose benefit the clause or  endorsement  is
obtained shall pay such extra cost. If extra cost shall be chargeable  therefor,
each party shall advise the other of the amount of the extra cost, and the other
party at its election, may pay the same, but shall not be obligated to do so.

                                   ARBITRATION

         If any controversy should arise between the parties in the performance,
interpretation  or application of this Lease involving any matter,  either party
may serve upon the other a written


                                     - 47 -
<PAGE>


notice  stating that such party desires to have the  controversy  resolved by an
arbitrator.  If the  parties  cannot  agree  within  fifteen  (15) days from the
service of such notice upon the  selection  of such  arbitrator,  an  arbitrator
shall be selected or designated  by the American  Arbitration  Association  upon
written  request  of  either  party  hereto.  Arbitration  of such  controversy,
disagreement,  or dispute shall be conducted in accordance  with the  Commercial
Arbitration Rules then in force of the American Arbitration  Association and the
decision and award of the  arbitrator so selected shall be binding upon Landlord
and Tenant. The arbitration will be held in Dallas, Texas.

         As a condition  precedent to the appointment of any arbitrator,  in any
non-monetary dispute, both parties shall be required to make a good faith effort
to resolve the  controversy,  which effort shall continue for a period of thirty
(30) days prior to any demand for arbitration.  The cost of any such arbitration
shall be shared  equally  by the  parties.  Each  party  shall pay its own costs
incurred as a result of its participation in any such arbitration.

         If the issue to be arbitrated is Landlord's or Tenant's  alleged breach
of this  Lease and as a result  thereof,  Landlord  or  Tenant  has the right to
terminate  this Lease,  Tenant  shall  continue  to lease the  Demised  Premises
pending the outcome of such  arbitration,  provided Landlord or Tenant may elect
to proceed without arbitration under its other remedies in this Lease.

                          CERTAIN COVENANTS OF LANDLORD

                  17.1     Covenant Not-To-Compete.

                           (a)     For a period of five (5) years from and after
the Commencement Date neither Landlord nor any corporation, partnership or other
business  entity or person  controlling,  controlled by or under common  control
with Landlord  ("Restricted  Party"),  shall,  directly or indirectly,  operate,
manage,  own, control,  finance or provide financing for, be a consultant for or
enter into a service  contract  with,  any  nursing  home,  hospital or licensed
health  care  facility  or other  person  or entity  of any  type,  licensed  or
unlicensed,  existing or to be constructed  that provides  assisted living care,
nursing home care or any other senior  housing,  or any entity existing or to be
formed that  competes in any way with the Demised  Premises  (any such person or
entity being herein  referred to as an "Operator"),  that provides  nursing home
care,  assisted  living care or senior  housing,  and which  facility is located
within twenty-five (25) miles from the exterior boundaries of the Land.

                           (b)     From and  after  the  Commencement  Date,  no
Restricted Party shall disclose,  directly or indirectly,  to any person outside
of Tenant's  employ without the express  authorization  of Tenant,  any resident
lists, pricing strategies, resident files and records, proprietary data or trade
secrets relating to the Demised  Premises or any financial or other  information
about the Demised Premises not then in the public domain.

                           (c)     For a period of five (5) years from and after
the Commencement  Date, no Restricted Party shall solicit any of the physicians,
customers, vendors, suppliers,  associates,  employees, independent contractors,
residents  or  families  of  residents  admitted  to, or employed at the Demised
Premises  prior to the  Commencement  Date, or by the Facility or by Tenant,  to
take any action or to refrain  from taking any action or inaction  that would be
disadvantageous  to Tenant or the Facility,  including  (but not limited to) the
solicitation of their  respective  physicians,  suppliers,  customers,  vendors,
associates,  employees,  independent  contractors,   residents  or  families  of
residents to cease doing business,  or their  association or employment with the
Facility or Tenant.

                           (d)     The Restricted  Parties  acknowledge that the
restrictions  contained  in this Section 17.1 are  reasonable  and  necessary to
protect  the  legitimate  business  interests  of Tenant and that any  violation
thereof by any of them would result in irreparable harm to Tenant.  Accordingly,
the  Restricted  Parties  agree that upon the violation by any of them of any of
the  restrictions  contained in this Section  17.1,  Tenant shall be entitled to
obtain from any court of competent  jurisdiction  a  preliminary  and  permanent
injunction as well as any other relief provided at law, equity, under this Lease
or  otherwise.  In the  event any of the  foregoing  restrictions  are  adjudged
unreasonable in any  proceeding,  then the parties agree that the period of time
or the scope of such  restrictions  (or both) shall be adjusted to such a manner
or for such a time (or both) as is adjudged to be reasonable.

                           Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  for purposes of this
Section 17.1, any  advertisement  prepared for and disseminated to the public in
general, which advertises the services of any facility of Landlord not otherwise
in  violation of this  Section  17.1 or  advertises  the need for services to be
supplied to such a Demised Premises,  shall not be deemed to be an inducement or
solicitation  with  respect  to any such  residents,  physicians,  suppliers  or
independent contractors.

                  17.2     Pre-Commencement     Date    Financial    Statements.

by, under or through either Landlord or Tenant, stipulate that both Landlord and
Tenant shall have the remedy of specific performance against the other.

                  Landlord  and  Tenant,  for  themselves  and for each  person,
business organization, association and corporation claiming by, under or through
either  Landlord or Tenant,  knowingly  and  voluntarily  waive their  rights to
allege or assert in or in any and all claims or counts for specific  performance

other party has an adequate remedy at law.

provided for herein,  Landlord and Tenant  expressly agree that,  subject to the

personal  representative,  assigns  and  successors  in  interest  of  both  the
respective parties hereto.

                  18.7 Lease (Short Form). Landlord and Tenant shall execute and
deliver to each other an  instrument,  recordable in form setting forth the term
and such other information (other than rent) as may be necessary to constitute a
"short form lease" for recording  purposes  immediately  upon  execution of this
Lease. Any party, at its expense, shall have the right to record such short form
lease for the  purpose of giving  notice of  Tenant's  interest  in the  Demised
Premises. This Lease shall not be recorded.

                  18.8  Reading and Receipt of this Lease.  Landlord  and Tenant

their respective signatures below acknowledge the receipt of an executed copy of
this Lease.

                  18.9  Prohibition  of Mechanics  Liens.  Nothing in this Lease
shall be deemed or construed in any way as  constituting  the consent or request
of Landlord, expressed or implied, by inference or otherwise, to any contractor,
subcontractor,  laborer,  or materialman for the performance of any labor or the
furnishing  of any materials for any specific  improvements,  alteration  to, or
repair of the Demised  Premises or any part  thereof,  nor as giving  Tenant any
right,  power,  or  authority  to contract  for or permit the  rendering  of any
services or the  furnishing of any materials  that would give rise to the filing
of any lien against the Demised Premises or any part thereof.

                  18.10 Brokerage or Agents Fees.  Landlord and Tenant represent
to each other that it has dealt with no broker in connection  with this Lease or
the transactions  contemplated hereby other than Southwest Retirement Properties
(the  "Broker"),  and Tenant  shall pay any  compensation,  commissions  or fees
earned by the Broker.  Except for the fees  payable to the Broker in  connection
with this transaction, which fees are the sole responsibility of Tenant, each


                                     - 51 -

party  agrees to indemnify  and hold the other  harmless,  including  reasonable
attorney's  fees,  from all  claims or  actions  brought  by any broker or agent
claiming to represent the  indemnifying  party in this  transaction  for fees or
commissions.

                  18.11  Captions  and  Indexes.   Article  or  Section  titles,
captions or indexes,  contained in this Lease are  inserted  only as a matter of
convenience and reference,  and in no way define,  limit, extend or describe the

be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular or plural as the
identity of the person or persons may require.

represented by attorneys in the  negotiation  and drafting of this Lease and all
of the  parties  to this Lease  have  influenced  the  language  of this  Lease.
Therefore,  this Lease shall not be construed against any party to this Lease by
reason of drafting authorship.

                  18.14  Counterparts.  This  Lease may be  executed  in several
counterparts,  each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which shall
together constitute one and the same instrument.

                  18.15  Quiet Enjoyment. Landlord covenants that Tenant, paying
the said  rental and  performing  the  covenants  and  conditions  in this Lease
contained,  shall and may peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Demised
Premises  and all rights of Tenant  hereunder  for the Lease  Term,  without any
manner of hindrance or molestation  whatsoever  from anyone claiming by, through

                                   ARTICLE XXI
                 EXTENSION OF COMMENCEMENT DATE AND TERMINATION

                  21.1 Termination. Without limiting any of the rights of Tenant
in this Lease or as it may be otherwise lawfully entitled, it is agreed that the
commencement of the Lease Term is conditioned upon, and shall be subject to, the
satisfaction  of all  conditions  precedent to Tenant's  obligations  hereunder,
including, without limitation, those conditions set forth in Article XIX hereof,
the  verification by Tenant of the accuracy of all of Landlord's and Jack West's
warranties and representations made herein and the due compliance by Landlord of
all of its  agreements set forth herein and elsewhere in this Lease which are to
be performed prior to the  Commencement  Date. If, on or before the Commencement
Date, Tenant, in its sole judgment,  shall determine that any of said conditions
precedent  have not been  satisfied,  or that  Landlord's  or any of Jack West's
representations  or warranties are untrue or that Landlord has not complied with
any of said


                                     - 56 -

<PAGE>


agreements, then the Tenant may elect to either (i) extend the Commencement Date
for a period or  periods  not in excess  of ninety  (90) days in the  aggregate,
during which time Landlord  shall use its best efforts to satisfy the condition,
complete   its  required   performance   and   otherwise   cure  the  defect  or
non-compliance;  or (ii) terminate this Lease, by notice to Landlord.  If at the
end of any extended period or periods for the  Commencement  Date said defect or
non-compliance has not been cured to Tenant's  reasonable  satisfaction,  Tenant
may terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord. If this Lease is terminated,  as
aforesaid,  Landlord  shall  cause any  deposits,  pre-  payments  or other sums
theretofore delivered or paid by Tenant hereunder to be refunded to Tenant, with
all interest earned thereon, and Landlord shall pay up to $15,000 of the cost of
any survey obtained,  any title search made, any insurance  commitment issued by
Tenant's title  insurance  company,  and any other  expenses,  including but not
limited to legal fees, incurred by Tenant, in connection with this Lease.

                  21.2   Tenant's Remedies. If Landlord fails to comply with any
of the  provisions of this Lease then,  in addition to all other legal  remedies
available to Tenant by reason of Landlord's default, Tenant shall have the right
to obtain specific  performance of Landlord's  obligations  hereunder.  Each and
every  covenant,  representation  and  warranty of  Landlord  and Jack West made
herein shall survive and continue after the Commencement Date. Nothing contained
herein  shall be deemed to restrict or limit  Tenant in any way from  offsetting
against  or  deducting  from any  Annual  Rent or other  payments  to be made to
Landlord  herein,  the  amount of any costs or damages  incurred  by Tenant as a
result of or arising out of the breach by Landlord of any  covenant,  agreement,
representation or warranty made by Landlord or Jack West in this Lease; provided
that the amount to be offset  against or deducted  from any  particular  payment
shall not exceed ten (10%) percent of such payment, with the balance of any such
amount to be offset against or deducted from subsequent payments subject to such
cap and carry forward provisions.

                                  ARTICLE XXII

                  22.1   Construction,  Delivery of Possession And  Commencement
Date.

                         (a)     Landlord  agrees  to  improve,   construct  and
install  upon the Demised  Premises in the  location  designated  on Exhibit A-1
annexed hereto, the Leased  Improvements  containing not less than 22,458 square
feet of interior  floor space,  and  consisting  of 35 units and 46 beds,  which
Leased Improvements shall be part of the Demised Premises that shall be provided
to Tenant by Landlord as a "turnkey" operation,  as hereinafter provided in this
Lease. Landlord agrees that the work described as "Landlord's Construction Work"
in Exhibit C annexed hereto will be completed at its own cost and expense.

                         (b)     All work  required to be  performed by Landlord
pursuant to this Lease shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner, with
new  materials  of good  quality.  The  Demised  Premises  shall  be left at the
completion  of such  work in a  safe,  clean  and  tenantable  condition  and in
reasonably  good order and repair.  Landlord shall perform all work provided for
in this Lease in compliance and conformity with all applicable  construction and
building codes and with every  applicable  requirement of (i) any statute,  law,
ordinance, regulation or order, now or


                                     - 57 -

<PAGE>


hereafter  made  by  any  governmental  authorities;  (ii)  any  board  of  fire
underwriters,  rating bureau or similar  organizations having jurisdiction;  and
(iii) all carriers of insurance on the Demised Premises and on the work provided
for  in  this  Lease.  For  a  period  of  fifteen  (15)  months  following  the
Commencement Date, Landlord, at its expense, shall remedy any defect or make any
repairs or  replacements  made  necessary  by its  failure  to perform  the work
required to be performed by it pursuant to this Lease,  including any failure to
perform  such work in a good and  workmanlike  manner and with new  materials of
good  quality.  During the eleventh  (11th) month after the  Commencement  Date,
Landlord  and Tenant shall  create a written  list of such  defects,  repairs or
replacements  that Landlord can present to its  contractors  for remedial action
within the twelve (12) month  warranty  period  provided by such  contractors to
Landlord;  provided  that nothing in this  sentence  derogates  the fifteen (15)
month  warranty  provided  by Landlord  to Tenant in the  immediately  preceding
sentence.  Landlord shall obtain all necessary  building  permits so as to allow
Landlord to perform Landlord's  Construction Work and ready the Demised Premises
for Tenant's use and occupancy.

                         (c)     Landlord  agrees  that as  part  of  Landlord's
Construction  Work the Demised  Premises  shall be connected to the electric and
gas lines serving the municipality  wherein the Demised Premises are located and
to the water and sewer system of said municipality.

                         (b)     Landlord  agrees that  Landlord's  Construction
Work  shall  be  completed  and  possession  of the  Demised  Premises  shall be
delivered to Tenant (the term  "delivery of possession of the Demises  Premises"
being  hereinafter  defined) on or before July 1, 1996,  subject to extension of
not more than one hundred eighty (180) days in the aggregate for periods of time
that are deemed  excusable delays pursuant to Section 11.4 of this Lease (herein
referred to as "Excusable Delays").

                         (e)     Further,  should  Landlord  fail to  diligently
pursue such work and to complete Landlord's Construction Work in accordance with
the provisions of this Article, Tenant may, without prejudice to the exercise of
any other remedy,  at its election,  either (i) extend  further time to Landlord
within which to properly complete Landlord's Construction Work, or (ii) commence
and/or complete  Landlord's  Construction Work or correct such work, as the case
may be, and deduct and offset  Tenant's  entire cost of so doing,  together with
interest  thereon  from the date of  expenditure  thereof at the annual rate set
forth in Section  3.1.4 hereof,  from any Annual Rent or other  amounts  payable
under this Lease. At the expiration of any extended period or periods granted by
Tenant as  aforesaid,  Tenant  shall have the same rights of  extension  or self
help.

                         Landlord  and Jack West shall at all times  jointly and
severally  defend,  indemnify and hold harmless the Tenant  Indemnified  Parties
from and against all actions,  claims,  demands,  costs, damages,  penalties and
expense of any kind which may be brought, made or incurred by reason of any work
performed  on or  about  the  Demised  Premises  by or on  behalf  of or at  the
direction of Landlord,  including,  without  limitation  any loss of business or
profits  from the  Demised  Premises or any costs and  expenses  incurred in the
operation of Tenant's business at the Demised Premises by reason of or resulting
from  interference  with  Tenant's  business  operations by the  performance  of
Landlord's  Construction  Work.  Landlord  shall  carry a policy  of  insurance,
insuring  Landlord and Tenant  against public  liability on an occurrence  basis
with


                                     - 58 -

limits not less than Three Million  ($3,000,000)  Dollars combined  coverage for
personal  injury  and  against  property  damage  with a limit of at least  Five
Hundred Thousand ($500,000)  Dollars,  which insurance shall be in effect at all
times when any work is being  performed  by or on behalf of Landlord on or about
the Demised Premises;  provided, however, that Landlord may cause its contractor
to carry such  insurance.  On or before  the date of this Lease with  respect to
Landlord's  Construction  Work,  and  before  commencing  any such work at other
times,  Landlord shall furnish Tenant with a certificate of insurance evidencing
compliance with the foregoing insurance requirements.

                         (f)     Provided (x) Landlord's  Construction  Work has
been  completed  and all equipment  and  facilities  required to be furnished by
Landlord are in good working order,  and (y) all utilities and sewer  facilities
have been connected to the Demised Premises and are operable,  Landlord shall be
deemed to have "delivered  possession of the Demised  Premises" to Tenant on the
fifth day  following  Tenant's  receipt of written  notice from  Landlord of the
completion of the items set forth in clauses (x) and (y) in this  paragraph (f),
provided that said notice is accompanied by:

                                (i)     a final,  non-conditional Certificate of
Occupancy, or its equivalent,  and all necessary licenses and permits, issued by
the appropriate governmental authorities,  permitting Tenant's use and occupancy
of the Demised Premises for the purposes herein  described,  including,  without
limitation,  any necessary  licenses or permits for the operation of the Demised
Premises as a resident congregant, nursing care and/or assisted living facility;
and

                                (ii)    a   board    of    fire    underwriter's
certificate with respect to the electrical installations in the Demised Premises
and such other  certificates  as are  customarily  obtained for similar types of
buildings and improvements.

For purposes of this Lease,  the  "Commencement  Date" shall be deemed to be the
date upon which Tenant  officially opens the Demised  Premises for business,  or
five (5) days after Landlord's delivery of possession of the Demised Premises to
Tenant as  aforesaid,  whichever  first  occurs.  Landlord and Tenant agree that
delivery  of  possession  of the  Demised  Premises  shall not be deemed to have
occurred  until  exclusive  possession of the Demised  Premises  shall have been
delivered to Tenant with the completion of Landlord's  Construction Work (except
such non- substantial and  non-material  portions thereof as Landlord shall have
by reason of Excusable  Delays been unable to complete,  provided the failure to
complete said items does not  interfere  with Tenant's full use and enjoyment of
the  Demised  Premises  and  further  provided  that said  incomplete  items are
thereafter  completed  within thirty (30) days,  said Demised  Premises to be in
broom clean condition.

                         (g)     Tenant's   acceptance   of  possession  of  the
Demised  Premises  shall not be deemed a waiver  by  Tenant  of any  failure  by
Landlord to complete and perform Landlord's Construction Work in compliance with
the provisions of this Lease.

                         (h)     If Tenant submits to Landlord a written list of
items which  Landlord is obligated to complete or correct  pursuant to the final
plans and specifications (as described in


                                     - 59 -

<PAGE>


Exhibit C) for  Landlord's  Construction  Work,  Landlord shall have a period of
thirty  (30) days from the date of said notice to  complete  such work,  failing
which Tenant shall have the right to complete such work at  Landlord's  cost and
expense,  and Tenant may  deduct and offset  from any Annual  Rent or other sums
thereafter  due  Landlord  an  amount  equal to  Tenant's  cost and  expense  in
performing  such  work,   together  with  interest  thereon  from  the  date  of
expenditure  at the annual rate set forth in Section 3.1.4  hereof,  if Landlord
does not reimburse  Tenant on demand  therefor.  It is expressly  understood and
agreed,  however,  that Tenant's  failure to submit such list to Landlord or its
failure to include any item of  incomplete  or  incorrect  work on any such list
shall not be deemed a waiver of any of  Tenant's  rights  with  respect  to such
incomplete  or  incorrect  work,  Landlord  hereby  agreeing  that it  shall  be
Landlord's  obligation  to  complete  or  correct  the  same in any  event.  The
foregoing  provisions  of  this  subsection  shall  also  be  applicable  to any
supplementary list submitted by Tenant to Landlord after the initial list, which
supplementary list may include, without limitation,  latent or other defects not
readily  ascertainable  in the  course of  Tenant's  initial  inspection  of the
Demised  Premises.  Tenant agrees to use its best efforts to furnish the initial
list to Landlord  prior to the  expiration of ninety (90) days after the opening
of the Demised Premises for the conduct of business.

L.C., 155 North Market, Suite 910, Wichita,  Kansas 67202,  Attention:  Mr. Jack
West ("Owner"),  and INTEGRATED LIVING COMMUNITIES AT WICHITA,  INC., a Delaware
corporation having an office at 10065 Red Run Boulevard,  Owing Mills,  Maryland
21117 ("Optionee").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

         WHEREAS,  Owner  is the  owner  of  certain  parcels  of land  and real
property (the "Land") as indicated and more fully  described on Exhibit A hereto
and all of the "Leased  Improvements",  "Related Rights" and "Fixtures" (as said
terms are  defined in the  hereinafter  described  Lease)  situated  thereon and
appurtenant  thereto,  and Owner is the  owner of the  "Personal  Property"  and
"Other Assets" (as said terms are defined in the Lease) situate on,  appurtenant
to  and/or  related  to the Land  and  Leased  Improvements  (the  Land,  Leased
Improvements,  Related Rights, Fixtures,  Personal Property and Other Assets are
herein collectively referred to as the "Facility"); and

         WHEREAS, Owner and Optionee have entered into a certain Lease Agreement
of even date herewith ("Lease") pursuant to which Owner has agreed to demise and
Optionee has agreed to lease the Facility; and

         WHEREAS,  Owner and Optionee have entered into a certain Right of First
Refusal  Agreement of even date  herewith  (the "Right of First  Refusal")  with
respect to third party offers to purchase the Facility; and

         WHEREAS,  Owner has agreed to grant to  Optionee  an option to purchase
all of the Facility.

         NOW,  THEREFORE,  for  and  in  consideration  of the  promises  herein
contained,  and for other  good and  valuable  consideration,  the  receipt  and
sufficiency of which are  acknowledged by the parties,  Owner and Optionee agree
as follows:

         1. Grant of Option.  Effective as of the date hereof and subject to the
terms and  conditions  as set forth below,  Owner  hereby  grants and conveys to
Optionee  the  irrevocable  and  exclusive  right and option (the  "Option")  to
purchase all, but not less than all, of the Facility from Owner,  upon the terms
and conditions of this Option Agreement. If the Lease is terminated prior to the
Commencement Date (as defined in the Lease), then this Option Agreement shall be
deemed to be terminated simultaneously with such termination of the Lease.

         2. Option Period. The Option may be exercised by Optionee in the manner
specified  in  Section 4 hereof at any time  during the  Initial  Term after the
fifth  anniversary  of the date of the Lease and,  if the Lease is  extended  as
provided therein, at any time during each Renewal Term of the



<PAGE>


Lease (the terms  "Initial  Term" and "Renewal Term" being defined in the Lease;
said  periods,  each  individually  referred  to herein as an "Option  Period").
Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be an abeyance of Optionee's right to
exercise the Option during any (a) ninety (90) day period  provided in Section 3
of the Right of First Refusal during which Owner can accept an Offer (as defined
in the Right of First  Refusal)  and (b) period that a contract of sale  between
Owner and a third  party with  respect to an Offer is in full force and  effect.
The abeyance of Optionee's  right to exercise the Option shall  automatically be
lifted if Owner does not accept the Offer  within such ninety (90) day period or
any such contract of sale is terminated.

         If the  Option has not been  exercised  by  Optionee,  as  provided  in
Section 3 hereof,  prior to the  expiration of the last Option  Period,  or such
later date as is provided in Section 3 hereof,  the Option  shall  automatically
expire and be of no further force or effect.

         3. Exercise of the Option. Optionee shall exercise the Option by giving
written notice thereof (the "Exercise  Notice") to Owner in the manner  provided
in Section 16 hereof,  at least one hundred  twenty (120) days prior to the date
specified  in such  notice  for the  Closing  (as  hereinafter  defined)  of the
purchase of the  Facility by Optionee  (as the same may be extended  pursuant to
the terms  hereof,  the  "Closing  Date"),  provided  that in no event shall the
Closing Date specified in the Exercise  Notice be later than the date originally
set forth in the Lease for the  expiration  of the Lease Term (as defined in the
Lease).  Notwithstanding  the general notice period under Section 16 hereof, the
Exercise  Notice,  if mailed in  accordance  with  Section 16  hereof,  shall be
effective  upon deposit with the United States mail.  From and after the date on
which the Exercise  Notice is given,  this Option  Agreement shall be deemed for
all purposes to be a legally enforceable contract between Optionee and Owner for
the sale and  purchase  of the  Facility  upon the terms and  conditions  herein
provided.  If Optionee  fails to exercise  the Option in the manner  provided in
this Option Agreement prior to the expiration of the last Option Period, subject
to the following  sentence,  the Option shall expire,  and no party hereto shall
thereafter  have any rights,  liabilities or obligations  whatsoever  under this
Option  Agreement.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing  and anything  herein to the
contrary,  in the event that the Lease is terminated for any reason prior to the
date  originally set forth therein for the  expiration of the term thereof,  the
Option shall  continue and Optionee  shall have the right to exercise the Option
by giving the Exercise Notice to Owner not later than the ten (10) business days
after  the date on which  the  notice  of  termination  under the Lease has been
given,  provided that the Closing Date in such event shall be not later than the
date which is one hundred twenty (120) days  following the date the  termination
of the Lease  became  effective.  If the Lease is  terminated  or the Lease Term
expires prior to the Closing Date, then Optionee shall be permitted to remain in
possession of the Facility  until the Closing Date, or such earlier date as this
Option  Agreement may be terminated as herein  provided,  such  possession to be
upon all of the same terms and provisions of the Lease (including the provisions
for payment of Annual Rent) in effect  during the Lease Year (the terms  "Annual
Rent" and "Lease Year" being defined in the Lease) in effect  immediately  prior
to the date of the termination of the Lease or expiration of the Lease Term.

         4.       Sale and Purchase of the Facility.

                  (a) Upon the giving of the Exercise  Notice,  Owner shall sell
the Facility to Optionee and Optionee  shall purchase the Facility from Owner in
the manner and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Option Agreement.

                  (b)  Optionee's  decision to exercise  the Option shall not be
deemed a waiver of any breach of  representation,  warranty or covenant given by
Owner or Jack West in this Option Agreement, the Lease or in the Deed or Bill of
Sale referred to in Section 9 hereof,  and Optionee  shall retain all rights and
remedies with respect thereto.

         5. Purchase Price. (a) Optionee shall pay to Owner, in consideration of
the sale and  conveyance  of the  Facility to  Optionee,  a purchase  price (the
"Purchase  Price")  equal to the fair market value of the Facility as determined
pursuant to the appraisal process hereinafter described,  provided, however, the
Purchase Price shall not be less than $2,800,000. The entire Purchase Price will
be payable at the Closing by  Optionee's  certified  check or an  official  bank
check,  (either  such check  being  hereinafter  referred  to as an  "Acceptable
Check") payable to the order of Owner, or at Owner's option, by wire transfer of
immediately  available  federal funds to Owner's account in a commercial bank in
accordance  with wire transfer  instructions  to be furnished by Owner not later
than ten (10) days prior to the Closing, or by (at Owner's option) a combination
of both.

                  (b) Any  appraisal  of fair market  value to be made under the
provisions of this Section shall be made as follows:

                  At any time  after  Owner's  receipt  of  Optionee's  Exercise
Notice,  Owner and Optionee may, by notice to the other, appoint a disinterested
person  of  recognized  competence  in the field as one of the  appraisers,  and
within twenty (20) days thereafter the other party shall, by notice to the party
appointing  the  first  appraiser,   appoint  another  disinterested  person  of
recognized  competence in such field as a second appraiser.  The appraisers thus
appointed shall appoint a third disinterested person of recognized competence in
such field, and such three  appraisers  shall as promptly as possible  determine
such value, provided, however, that:

                        (i)     if the  second  appraiser  shall  not have  been
appointed as aforesaid,  the first  appraiser  shall  proceed to determine  such
value; and

                        (ii)    if,  within ten (10) days after the  appointment
of the second  appraiser,  the two appraisers  appointed by the parties shall be
unable to agree  upon the  appointment  of a third  appraiser,  they  shall give
notice of such  failure to agree to the  parties,  and, if the  parties  fail to
agree upon the selection of such third appraiser  within five (5) days after the
appraisers appointed by the parties gave notice, as aforesaid,  then within five
(5) days thereafter  either of the parties upon notice to the other party hereto
may apply for such  appointment to a court of the State of Kansas having a situs
in Sedgwick County.



                                       -3-

<PAGE>


                   All  appraisers,  in addition to being  persons of recognized
competence in the field of appraisal,  shall be MAI appraisers with at least ten
years prior  experience.  Each of the parties  shall each be entitled to present
evidence and argument to the appraisers.  The  determination  of the majority of
the appraisers or of the sole appraiser,  as the case may be, or, if there is no
majority,  the average of said appraisers appraisals (provided,  however, if any
single  appraisal  deviates from the average of the other two appraisals by more
than twenty (20%)  percent,  then such  appraisal  shall be  disregarded in such
determination),  shall be conclusive upon the parties and judgment upon the same
may be entered in any court having  jurisdiction  thereof.  The appraisers shall
give notice to the parties  stating  their  determination,  and shall furnish to
each party a copy of such determination signed by them. Each party shall pay the
costs, fees and expenses of the appraiser selected by that party and costs, fees
and the expenses of the third  appraiser and all other aspects of this appraisal
process  shall be borne  equally by the  parties.  Each party  shall pay its own
costs  and  expenses  incurred  as a  result  of its  participation  in any such
appraisal  process.  In the event of the  failure,  refusal or  inability of any
appraiser  to act, a new  appraiser  shall be  appointed in his stead within ten
(10) days,  which  appointment  shall be made in the same manner as hereinbefore
provided for the appointment of the appraiser so failing,  refusing or unable to
act.  The  appraisers  shall base their  determination  on the  highest and best
legally permissible use of the Facility,  as-is at the time of the Closing Date,
and unencumbered by the Lease, and shall not have the power to add to, modify or
change any of the provisions of this Option Agreement.

         6.       Intentionally Deleted.

         7.       Survey and Engineering. Optionee shall at all times during the
Option  Period and  before  the  Closing  have the  privilege  of going upon the
Facility with its agents or engineers as needed to inspect,  examine, survey and
otherwise do what Optionee deems  necessary in the  engineering and planning for
development of the Facility. Said privilege shall include the right to make soil
tests,  borings,  percolation  tests  and  tests  to  obtain  other  information
necessary to determine surface, subsurface and topographic conditions; provided,
however,  that  Optionee  shall hold Owner  harmless  from any damages  incurred
through the  exercise of such  privilege.  Optionee  and Owner agree that in the
event of the exercise of the Option, Optionee may obtain surveys of the Facility
(hereinbelow referred to as the "Surveys") to be made by surveyors duly licensed
within  the state  where the  Facility  is  located  to  determine  the true and
accurate  legal  description of the  properties  comprising the Facility,  which
Surveys shall be at Optionee's sole cost and expense.

         8.       Examination  of Title.  Optionee shall on or about the date of
the exercise of the Option order a title insurance  search and commitment for an
Owner's title insurance policy from any reputable title insurance  company,  and
not later than thirty (30) days before the Closing Date  Optionee  shall cause a
copy of such  title  company's  report  to be sent to Owner and  Optionee  shall
advise Owner of any defects or objections  affecting the  marketability of title
for the Facility disclosed by such report (a "Defect"), other than the following
items:  (herein  referred to  collectively as the "Permitted  Exceptions")  real
property and personal property taxes and assessments  applicable to the Facility
that are not yet due and payable,  recorded  general utility  service  easements
affecting the Facility  which are acceptable to Optionee,  defects  arising from
acts or omissions (or with the written


                                       -4-

<PAGE>


consent) of Optionee and the items listed on Exhibit B hereto.  Owner shall then
have a reasonable  time,  not less than thirty (30) days from the date of notice
of such Defect from Optionee,  to cure or remove such Defect,  or if such Defect
may be removed or satisfied by the payment of a  liquidated  sum,  Owner may, in
lieu of curing or removing such Defect,  deposit with Optionee's title insurance
company  such  amount of money as may be  determined  by said  company  as being
sufficient  to induce  it to omit  such  Defect  from its  policy  and to insure
Optionee against  collection of the same.  Owner shall, in good faith,  exercise
reasonable  diligence  to cure all  Defects.  If Owner fails or refuses to cure,
remove or (if  herein  permitted)  so insure  against  any  Defect  prior to the
Closing Date or the thirty (30) day cure period,  whichever is less, in addition
to the other  rights and  remedies  that  Optionee may have in law or in equity,
Optionee  may, at its  option:  (a) cure,  remove or so insure  against any such
Defect,  in which event the Purchase  Price shall be reduced by the amount equal
to the actual  costs and  expenses  incurred by Optionee in curing,  removing or
insuring  against such Defect;  (b) accept title to the Facility subject to such
Defect or Defects with an abatement of the Purchase  Price in an amount equal to
the then  ascertainable  cost of removing or curing said  Defect;  or (c) cancel
this  Option  Agreement.  If  Optionee  elects  to cure or remove  such  Defect,
Optionee at its option, upon giving notice to Owner, may extend the Closing Date
for the purchase of the Facility (and if necessary, the Option Period shall also
be  extended)  for  ninety  (90) days.  If any Defect  shall not have been cured
within  such  period,  Optionee  may  again  exercise  any of its  rights  under
subsections (a), (b), or (c) hereof.

         9.       Closing and Closing Date.

                  (a) The  consummation  of the sale by Owner  and  purchase  by
Optionee  of the  Facility  (the  "Closing")  shall  occur at the offices of the
attorney for Optionee in Wichita,  Kansas,  on the Closing Date as designated by
Optionee in the Exercise Notice. At the Closing, Owner shall execute and deliver
to Optionee a general warranty deed (the "Deed") conveying fee simple marketable
record  title to the Facility to Optionee  free and clear of all liens,  special
assessments  and other  Impositions  (as defined in the Lease),  or installments
thereof,  as the case may be,  which were due and  payable  prior to the date of
this Option Agreement,  easements,  reservations,  restrictions and encumbrances
whatsoever, excepting only the Permitted Exceptions. At the Closing, Owner shall
deliver a bill of sale  (the  "Bill of Sale")  to  Optionee  conveying  good and
marketable title to the Fixtures,  Personal Property and Other Assets.  The Bill
of Sale shall  contain a warranty  that such  property  is free and clear of all
liens,  encumbrances,  security  interests  and  adverse  claims  except for the
lien(s) of the Permitted  Exceptions,  if any. It is agreed that Optionee  shall
prepare any  required  sales tax return;  that said return  shall be executed by
Owner at the  Closing;  and that Owner shall file same and pay any sales tax due
thereon promptly after the Closing.

                  (b) No prorations or  apportionments  shall be required at the
Closing,  except that  Optionee  shall pay, or cause to be paid,  to Owner at or
before the Closing all Annual Rent and other sums then due and payable  pursuant
to the Lease and, if  applicable,  accrued from the date of  termination  of the
Lease or  expiration  of the Lease Term  through  the  Closing  Date,  as herein
provided.  Owner shall, at the Closing,  pay for the preparation of the Deed and
for all transfer taxes as required by law.

                  (c) The Deed shall be in recordable form and duly executed and
acknowledged.  The Deed shall have  affixed  thereto  any  requisite  surtax and
documentary tax stamps, in proper amount, affixed by Owner, at Owner's sole cost
and expense.  At the  Closing,  Owner shall  deliver to Optionee its  Acceptable
Check(s),  to the order of the appropriate tax collecting agency or official, in
the amount of all transfer taxes and other taxes and charges in connection  with
the sale and transfer of the Facility by Owner to Optionee and the  recording of
the Deed, or allow  Optionee a credit  against the Purchase Price due at Closing
in the amount thereof.

                  (d) A draft of the Deed and the Bill of Sale,  and a  proposed
schedule of apportionments  shall be delivered by Owner to Optionee's  attorneys
for review and  approval  at least ten (10)  business  days prior to the Closing
Date.

                  (e) If Owner or any  managing  member  or member of Owner is a
corporation,  Owner shall deliver, or cause to be delivered,  to Optionee at the
Closing a sworn certificate by the secretary of such corporation certifying that
the  Board of  Directors  and  Shareholders  of such  corporation  have  adopted
resolutions  authorizing  the  sale of the  Facility  pursuant  to  this  Option
Agreement  and  delivery  of the  Deed  and all  other  documents  delivered  to
Optionee,  and setting forth such additional  facts, if any, needed to show that
the conveyance is in conformity with applicable law.

                  (f) At the Closing,  Owner shall deliver to Optionee copies of
any required transfer tax returns executed by Owner.

                  (g) At the  Closing,  Owner shall  deliver to  Optionee,  such
affidavits as Optionee's title insurance  company shall require in order to omit
from its title  insurance  policy all mechanics'  liens arising from the acts or
omissions  of Owner and rights of parties in  possession  (other than parties in
possession under the Lease) and exceptions for judgments,  bankruptcies or other
returns  against  persons or entities  whose names are the same as or similar to
Owner's name.

                  (h) At  the  Closing,  Owner  shall  deliver  to  Optionee  an
affidavit  stating,  under penalty of perjury,  Owner's  United States  taxpayer
identification  number and that  Owner is not a  "foreign  person" as defined in
Section  1445(f)(3)  of the  Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986,  as  amended,  and
otherwise in the form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service.

                  (i) At  the  Closing,  Owner  shall  deliver  any  affidavits,
statements, certifications or other documents which are required by the laws and
regulations  of the  state  and  local  governmental  authorities  in which  the
Facility is located,  to be delivered by sellers of real estate,  and shall also
deliver all other documents it is required to deliver pursuant to the provisions
of this Option Agreement.

         10.      Owner's Representations and Warranties.

                  (a) To induce  Optionee to enter into this  Option  Agreement,
Owner and Jack West each hereby represents and warrants, to Optionee as follows:

<PAGE>


                         (i)    Owner  is  a  limited   liability  company  duly
organized,  validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Kansas.  Copies of its articles of  organization,  operating  agreement  and all
amendments thereto to date (collectively,  the "Organizational  Documents") have
been delivered to Optionee,  and are true,  complete and correct.  Owner has the
power  and  authority  to own the  property  and  assets  now owned by it and to
conduct the business  presently being conducted by it and as currently  proposed
to be conducted.

                         (ii)   Owner has the full,  absolute  and  unrestricted
right,  power and  authority to make,  execute,  deliver and perform this Option
Agreement,   including  all  Schedules  and  Exhibits  hereto,   and  the  other
instruments and documents required or contemplated  hereby and thereby ("Owner's
Transaction Documents"). Such execution,  delivery, performance and consummation
have been duly authorized by all necessary action (partnership, corporate, trust
or otherwise,  as the case may be) on the part of Owner, its managing member and
members,  and all  consents  of  holders  of  indebtedness  of Owner  have  been
obtained.

                         (iii)  This  Option  Agreement  constitutes  the legal,
valid and binding obligation of Owner,  enforceable  against Owner in accordance
with its terms  and each of  Owner's  Transaction  Documents  executed  by Owner
constitute the valid and binding obligation of Owner,  enforceable against Owner
in accordance with their respective terms.

                         (iv) None of the  execution  or delivery of this Option
Agreement or any of Owner's Transaction  Documents,  the performance by Owner of
its obligations hereunder or thereunder nor the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby,  conflicts with, or constitutes a breach of or a
default under (1) Owner's Organizational  Documents;  or (2) any applicable law,
rule,  judgment,  order, writ,  injunction,  or decree of any court currently in
effect; or (3) any applicable rule or regulation of any administrative agency or
other  governmental  authority  currently in effect;  or (4) any written or oral
agreement,  indenture,  contract  or  instrument  to which  Owner or any  member
thereof is now a party or by which any of them or the Facility is bound.

                         (v)    No authorization,  consent,  approval,  license,
exemption by filing or registration  with any court or governmental  department,
commission,  board, bureau,  agency or instrumentality,  domestic or foreign, or
any other Person (as defined in the Lease) is or will be necessary in connection
with any Owner's execution, delivery and performance of this Option Agreement or
any  of  Owner's  Transaction   Documents,   or  for  the  consummation  of  the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

                  (b) All of the representations,  warranties and agreements set
forth  herein  and  elsewhere  in this  Option  Agreement,  shall be true in all
material respects upon the execution of this Option  Agreement,  shall be deemed
to be  repeated  on the  Commencement  Date  of the  Lease  and at and as of the
Closing Date and shall survive the delivery of the Deed. No such  representation
or warranty shall omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
contained herein or therein not misleading. Except as herein expressly provided,
neither Owner nor Jack West makes any representations or warranties with respect
to the Facility.


                                       -7-

<PAGE>


                  (c) Without  limiting any of the rights of Optionee  elsewhere
provided  for in this  Option  Agreement,  it is agreed that the  obligation  of
Optionee to close title under this Option  Agreement is  conditioned  upon,  and
shall be subject to, the  verification  by  Optionee  of the  accuracy of all of
Owner's and Jack West's warranties and representations and the due compliance by
Owner with all of its  agreements  set forth herein and elsewhere in this Option
Agreement.  If, on or before  the  Closing  Date,  Optionee,  in its  reasonable
judgment,   shall   determine  that  any  of  Owner's  or  any  of  Jack  West's
representations  or warranties are untrue in any material  respect or that Owner
has not  complied  with  any of said  agreements,  then  Optionee  may  elect to
terminate  this  Option  Agreement  by  notice  given to Owner.  If this  Option
Agreement is  terminated,  as aforesaid,  Owner shall pay the cost of any survey
obtained and the cost of any title search made, any insurance commitment issued,
by Optionee's title insurance company and any other expenses, including, but not
limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements,  incurred by Optionee,
in connection with this Option Agreement.

         11.      Additional Settlement Requirements.

                  (a)  Optionee's  obligation  to accept  title to the  Facility
shall be  subject  to each of the  following  conditions  being in effect at the
Closing Date:

                           (i)  the  satisfaction of all title  requirements and
         conditions set forth under this Option Agreement; and

                           (ii) each and every  one of the  representations  and
         warranties  described in Section 10 hereof being true and correct as of
         the Closing Date in all material respects.

                  (b)   At the Closing, Owner shall:

                           (i)  duly execute and deliver to Optionee the Deed in
         recordable form and the Bill of Sale conveying the Facility to Optionee
         in accordance with the terms hereof;

                           (ii) deliver  possession of the Facility to Optionee,
         free and clear of any  indebtedness and security liens relating thereto
         (excluding those created by Optionee).

                  (c)   At  the  Closing,  Optionee  shall  deliver,  as  herein
provided,  the balance of the Purchase Price for the Facility and all other sums
due pursuant to the terms of this Option Agreement.

         12.      Covenants  and  Agreements  of  Owner.  Owner  hereby  further
covenants and agrees that from and after the date hereof until the Closing Date,
unless  permitted  pursuant  to the Lease,  Owner  shall not grant or  otherwise
create or consent to or permit the creation of any easement,  restriction,  lien
or encumbrance affecting the Facility or any portion or portions thereof without
the prior written consent of Optionee.  From and after the date hereof until the
Closing  Date,  unless  permitted  pursuant  to the  Lease or the Right of First
Refusal,  Owner shall not, without the prior written consent of Optionee,  sell,
convey or transfer the Facility or any portion or portions thereof,

Agreement, the Right of First Refusal and the Lease.

Agreement,  or Owner  fails to  comply  with or  perform  any of the  covenants,
agreements  or  obligations  to be  performed  by  Owner  under  the  terms  and
provisions of this Option Agreement,  Optionee shall be entitled to exercise any

including,  without  limitation,  the  enforcement  by specific  performance  of
Owner's obligations under this Option Agreement. If Owner shall be in compliance
with all its  obligations  hereunder and shall tender the Deed, the Bill of Sale
and all other  instruments  required by this Option Agreement in full compliance
with its obligations  hereunder and Optionee shall fail or refuse to close title
as  required  by the terms of this Option  Agreement,  or if Optionee  otherwise
defaults  hereunder so that Owner has the right to refuse to close  title,  then
Owner shall be entitled to exercise any and all rights and remedies available to
Owner at law or in equity,  including,  without  limitation,  the enforcement by
specific performance of Optionee's obligations under this Option Agreement.

arbitrator.  If the  parties  cannot  agree  within  fifteen  (15) days from the
service of such notice upon the  selection  of such  arbitrator,  an  arbitrator

written  request  of  either  party  hereto.  Arbitration  of such  controversy,
disagreement,  or dispute shall be conducted in accordance  with the  Commercial
Arbitration Rules then in force of the American Arbitration  Association and the
decision and award of the arbitrator so selected shall be binding upon Owner and
Optionee. The arbitration will be held in Dallas, Texas.

                  As a condition  precedent to the appointment of any arbitrator
both  parties  shall be  required  to make a good faith  effort to  resolve  the
controversy  which effort shall  continue for a period of thirty (30) days prior
to any  demand for  arbitration.  The cost and  expense of any such  arbitration
shall be shared  equally by the parties.  Each party shall pay its own costs and
expenses incurred as a result of its participation in any such arbitration.

         17.      Assignment and Binding  Effect.  The rights and obligations of
Optionee  hereunder  shall be assignable.  The parties to this Option  Agreement
mutually  agree  that it shall be binding  upon and enure to the  benefit of the
parties hereto, their successors and assigns.

         18.      Evidence of Title.  Owner  agrees to deliver to  Optionee,  or
Optionee's counsel, as soon as reasonably possible after the date hereof, copies
of all title information in possession of or available to Owner, including,  but
not limited to: title insurance policies, attorney's opinions on title, boundary
surveys, covenants, leases, easements and deeds relating to the Facility.

         19.      General  Provisions.  No failure of any party to exercise  any
power given  hereunder or to insist upon strict  compliance  with any obligation
specified  herein,  and no custom or practice at variance with the terms hereof,
shall  constitute a waiver of either  party's  right to demand exact  compliance
with the terms hereof.  This Option  Agreement  contains the entire agreement of
the parties hereto, and no representations, inducements, promises or agreements,
oral or otherwise,  among the parties not embodied  herein shall be of any force
or effect.  Any amendment to this Option Agreement shall not be binding upon any
of the parties  hereto  unless such  amendment is in writing and executed by all
parties hereto. This Option Agreement may be executed in multiple  counterparts,
each of which shall  constitute  an  original,  but all of which taken  together
shall constitute one and the same agreement.  Owner and Optionee agree that such
documents as may be legally necessary or otherwise  appropriate to carry out the
terms of this Option  Agreement shall be executed and delivered by each party at
the Closing.

         20.      Severability.   This  Option   Agreement  is  intended  to  be
performed  in  accordance  with,  and  only  to the  extent  permitted  by,  all
applicable laws,  ordinances,  rules and  regulations.  If any provision of this
Option Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall,
for any reason and to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable,  the remainder of
this Option  Agreement and the application of such provision to other persons or
circumstances  shall not be affected thereby but rather shall be enforced to the
greatest extent permitted by law.

         21.      Understanding   and   Agreements.    This   Option   Agreement
constitutes the entire understanding and agreements of whatsoever nature or kind
existing among the parties with respect to the Option.

         22.      Governing  Law. This Option  Agreement  shall be construed and
interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Kansas.

         23.      Broker.  Each of the  parties  hereto  agrees  that it has not
dealt with any broker in connection with this  transaction  other than Southwest
Retirement  Properties (the "Broker") and Optionee agrees to pay any commissions
earned by the Broker,  whether pursuant to a separate  agreement  between it and
the Broker, or otherwise. If no broker is specified in this Section, the parties
acknowledge that this Option  Agreement was brought about by direct  negotiation
between  Owner and Optionee and that neither  Owner nor Optionee  know of anyone
entitled to a commission in connection with this transaction. Owner and Optionee
shall indemnify and defend each other against any and all


                                      -11-

<PAGE>



claims, demands, costs, expenses or causes of actions arising out of a breach of
the agreements contained in this Section 23. The representations, warranties and
indemnities  contained in this Section 23 shall  survive the Closing,  or if the
Closing does not occur, the termination of this Option Agreement.

         24.      Condemnation.  If,  after the exercise of the Option and prior
to the  Closing  Date,  all or any  portion of the  Facility is taken by eminent
domain or condemnation  (or is the subject of a pending or  contemplated  taking
which has not been  consummated),  Owner shall notify Optionee of such fact, and
Optionee shall have, in the event that the whole Facility or a "substantial  and
material  portion"  (as defined in Section 7.3 of the Lease) of the  Facility is
taken (or is the subject of a pending or contemplated  taking which has not been
consummated),  the option to  terminate  this  Option  Agree ment upon notice to
Owner given not later than  fifteen (15) days after  receipt of Owner's  notice.
Upon such termination by Optionee neither party shall have any further rights or
obligations  hereunder.  If Optionee  does not exercise this option to terminate
this Option  Agreement or the taking (or pending or contemplated  taking) is not
of the whole or a substantial and material portion of the Facility,  there shall
be a fair and equitable  adjustment  of the Purchase  Price or, at the option of
Optionee,  in lieu of such  adjustment,  Owner shall  assign and turn over,  and
Optionee shall be entitled to receive and keep, all awards or other proceeds for
such taking by eminent domain or condemnation.

         25.      Expense of  Litigation.  If either  party  incurs any expense,
including  reasonable   attorneys'  fees,  in  connection  with  any  action  or
proceeding  instituted  by  either  party by reason of any  default  or  alleged
default of the other party  hereunder,  the court or tribunal  before which such
proceeding  is  pending  may award to the  party  prevailing  in such  action or
proceeding  the reasonable  attorneys'  fees of such  prevailing  party from the
other party.

         26.      Memorandum  of  Option  Agreement.  Owner and  Optionee  shall
execute  and deliver to each other an  instrument,  recordable  in form  setting
forth such  information  as may be necessary  to  constitute  a  "memorandum  of
agreement"  for recording  purposes  immediately  upon  execution of this Option
Agreement.  Any  party,  at its  expense,  shall  have the right to record  such
memorandum of agreement  for the purpose of giving  notice of Optionee's  rights
pursuant to this Option Agreement. This Option Agreement shall not be recorded.

                        RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AGREEMENT
                        --------------------------------

                  THIS RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), made
and entered into as of the 10th day of June,  1996, by and between THE HOMESTEAD
OF GARDEN CITY, L.C., a Kansas limited  liability  company having an address c/o
The Homestead Company, L.C., 155 North Market, Suite 910, Wichita, Kansas 67202,
Attention:  Mr.  Jack West,  as landlord  ("Landlord"),  and  INTEGRATED  LIVING
COMMUNITIES  AT GARDEN CITY,  INC., a Delaware  corporation  having an office at
10065 Red Run Boulevard, Owings Mills, Maryland 21117, as tenant ("Tenant").

                           W I T N E S S E T H: That;
                           --------------------

                  WHEREAS,  Landlord  and Tenant are parties to a certain  Lease
Agreement dated of even date herewith (the "Lease")  covering the Facility known
as "The Homestead at Garden City;" and

                  WHEREAS,  in consideration for Tenant's agreement to lease the
Demised Premises under the Lease, Landlord has agreed to grant Tenant a right of
first  refusal to purchase the Demised  Premises  described in the Lease,  which
includes the Land described on Exhibit A hereto.

                  NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration including,
without limitation,  the rents and mutual covenants and agreements  contained in
the Lease, the parties agree as follows:

                  1. Grant of Right of First Refusal.  Landlord hereby grants to
Tenant a right of first refusal to purchase the Demised Premises under the terms
and conditions hereinafter set forth.

                  2.  Notice of  Offers.  If at any time  during  the Lease Term
Landlord  receives a bona fide written  Offer (as  hereinafter  defined) for the
sale of the Demised  Premises  from any third  person or entity  which  Landlord
desires to accept,  Landlord shall notify Tenant of such Offer in writing, which
notification (the "Notice") shall contain a copy of the bona fide written Offer.
For purposes of this  Agreement,  an "Offer"  shall mean any written  instrument
setting forth the terms  pursuant to which such third party proposes to purchase
the Demised Premises,  including,  without  limitation,  non-binding  letters of
intent.

                  3.  Exercise  of Right of First  Refusal.  Tenant  shall  have
twenty (20) days after  receipt of the Notice in which to elect to purchase  the
Demised  Premises on the same terms and  conditions  as those  contained  in the
Offer;  provided,  however,  that the  purchase  price  payable by Tenant or its
designee  shall be the  purchase  price set  forth in the Offer or the  purchase
price that Tenant is required to pay under the Option  Agreement,  whichever  is
less. Such election shall be made by written notice to Landlord,  accompanied by
a check in the amount of the deposit set forth in the Offer,  if any, and within
thirty (30) days thereafter the parties shall enter into a formal contract


                                       -1-

<PAGE>


herein,  Landlord shall have the right to accept the Offer, but shall not accept
any other offer at a lower price,  or on terms  materially more favorable to the
third party  purchaser  than that  contained in the Offer,  without  first again
granting Tenant the right to purchase the Demised Premises as aforesaid.  In the
event  Landlord  does not accept the Offer within  ninety (90) days after Tenant
fails to  exercise  its  right of first  refusal  with  respect  to the  Demised
Premises as granted  herein,  or within  ninety (90) days after Tenant  notifies
Landlord  that it  declines to exercise  its right of first  refusal,  or if the
contract with the third party is thereafter terminated for any reason,  Landlord
shall again give Tenant the right to purchase the Demised  Premises as set forth
herein  before  accepting  the Offer or any other bona fide written offer of any
third party.

                  4.   Transfer of Ownership Interests by Landlord. The right of
first refusal contained herein shall not be applicable to transfers of ownership
interests in Landlord provided that a majority interest in Landlord continues to
be held in the aggregate by the members of Landlord which or who were members on
the Commencement Date of the Lease.

                  5.   Notices.   All  notices,   requests,   demands  or  other
communications  required or permitted  under this Agreement  shall be in writing

                  7.    Amendment. This Agreement may be amended at any time and
from time to time; provided,  however, that no amendment to this Agreement shall

the Lease.

                  10.   Binding  Effect  on  Successors.   Except  as  otherwise
provided for herein,  Landlord and Tenant  expressly agree that,  subject to the
terms of this Agreement, all terms and conditions of this Agreement shall extend
to and be  binding  upon  or  inure  to the  benefit  of the  heirs,  executors,
administrators,  personal representative,  assigns and successors in interest of
both the respective parties hereto.


                  11.   Memorandum  of  Right  of First  Refusal.  Landlord  and
Tenant shall execute and deliver to each other an instrument, recordable in form

made to  Landlord  under this Lease  shall be made to  Landlord  at the  address
stated in Section  18.1 hereof or to such other  person,  firm,  corporation  or
other  entity or at such other  address as Landlord  may  designate by notice in
writing to Tenant.

                  3.1.1    Annual  rent  ("Annual  Rent")  shall be  payable  as
                           follows:  during  the first  Lease Year at the annual

                           Hundred  ($287,500)  Dollars;  and during  each Lease
                           Year  thereafter  at the  annual  rate  equal  to the
                           product  resulting from  multiplying  the Annual Rent
                           for the first Lease Year by a fraction the  numerator
                           of which is the Price  Index (as  defined  in Article
                           VIII)  published for the first  calendar month of the
                           Lease Year with  respect to which the  adjustment  is
                           being made, and the  denominator of which is the Base
                           Price  Index (as defined in Article  VIII);  provided
                           that the -------- ---- Annual Rent for the Lease Year
                           in  question  shall not be lower than the Annual Rent
                           for the immediately preceding Lease Year.

                  3.1.2    Annual   Rent   shall  be  paid  in   equal   monthly
                           installments and shall be payable in advance, without
                           demand,  on the  first  day of  each  calendar  month
                           during any Lease  Year.  All  payments of Annual Rent
                           and  all  other  payments  to be made  by  Tenant  to
                           Landlord  pursuant  to this  Lease  shall  be paid in
                           lawful  money of the United  States of  America  and,

                  3.1.3    The  obligations  to pay  Annual  Rent and all  other
                           items of rent  under  this  Lease  are  separate  and
                           independent  of each and  every  other  covenant  and
                           agreement   contained   in  this  Lease,   except  as
                           otherwise  provided  in this  Lease  to the  contrary
                           including (but not limited to) provisions relating to
                           Tenant's  right to an  abatement  of,  or  setoff  or
                           reduction against, any such items of rent.

                  3.1.4    In the event that any monthly  installment  of Annual
                           Rent is not paid within  fifteen  (15) days after the
                           date due,  then,  in addition to any other  rights or
                           remedies available to Landlord, interest shall accrue
                           on such overdue  payment at a rate per annum equal to
                           the  lesser  of (a)  the  maximum  rate  of  interest
                           permitted  by law or (b) two  percent  (2%) above the
                           "Prime  Rate" of  interest  quoted in The Wall Street
                           Journal "Money Rates Column" from the date originally
                           due to the date of payment of the same.

                  3.2      Certain Adjustments to the Annual Rent.

                           (a) Schedule 3.2(a) sets forth  Landlord's  estimated
amount as of the day  immediately  preceding  the  Commencement  Date of unpaid,
accrued and earned  holiday,  vacation,  sick and  personal  leave pay,  accrued
bonuses, payroll taxes and workers' compensation insurance premiums with respect
thereto for each of Landlord's employees.  Said Schedule 3.2(a) shall be updated
to the extent  necessary on and as of the day preceding the  Commencement  Date.
Landlord will terminate all such employees as of the day  immediately  preceding
the Commencement  Date. Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation,  to
hire any or all of such employees as of the Commencement Date. Landlord will pay
any and all unpaid,  accrued and earned  holiday,  vacation,  sick, and personal
leave pay,  accrued  bonuses,  and all  applicable  payroll  taxes and  workers'
compensation  insurance  premiums  accrued  and  earned  and not  paid as of the
Commencement  Date for such  employees  not hired by, or who decline  employment
with,  Tenant,  and Tenant shall have no liability  whatsoever for any such pay,
bonus, taxes, premiums or other compensation unpaid,  accrued and earned by such
employees. Tenant shall assume as of the Commencement Date the liability for any
and all unpaid,  accrued and earned holiday,  vacation,  sick and personal leave
pay, accrued bonuses, and all applicable payroll taxes and workers' compensation
insurance  premiums accrued and earned and not paid as of the Commencement  Date
for such  employees  hired by  Tenant,  and the  aggregate  amount  of such pay,
bonuses,  taxes,  premiums and other compensation unpaid,  accrued and earned by
such hired  employees  shall be paid by Landlord  to Tenant on the  Commencement
Date.

                           (b) Schedule 3.2(b) sets forth  Landlord's  estimated
amount of any  prepaid  goods or  services  to be  supplied  or  rendered by the
operator of the Facility  subsequent to the  Commencement  Date (e.g.,  resident
advance payments), and such prepayments to the extent allocable to the period on
or after the  Commencement  Date  ("Prepayments")  shall be paid by  Landlord to
Tenant on the  Commencement  Date or, at  Landlord's  option,  shall  reduce the
amount  of the  first,  and to the  extent  necessary,  all  succeeding  monthly
installments of Annual Rent payable by Tenant,  until the  Prepayments  shall be
fully applied in lieu of such payment of such


                                      - 5 -
<PAGE>

Prepayments by Landlord to Tenant on the Commencement Date. Said Schedule 3.2(b)
shall be updated  to the extent  necessary  on and as of the day  preceding  the
Commencement Date.

                  3.3 Transfer Taxes;  Prorated Items. On the Commencement Date,
the  following   adjustments  and  prorations   shall  be  computed  as  of  the
Commencement  Date with respect to the following taxes (unless  otherwise stated
herein)  and the initial  monthly  installments  of Annual Rent  payable for the
first  Lease Year shall be  adjusted,  upward or  downward  as  appropriate,  to
reflect such prorations:

                           (a) Transfer  Taxes.  All state and local real estate
transfer  taxes and fees  payable  in  connection  with this Lease or any of the
transaction  documents  (including,  without  limitation,  the short form lease)
relating hereto or the recording thereof shall be borne by Landlord.

                           (b) Real Estate Taxes,  etc. Real property  taxes and
all other ad valorem public or governmental charges against the Demised Premises
(including charges for sewer, water,  drainage or other services) assessed for a
period in which the  Commencement  Date occurs shall be adjusted and apportioned
as of the  Commencement  Date and paid  thereafter by Tenant in accordance  with
Article V hereof.

                           (c) Personal Property Taxes.  Personal property taxes
attributable  to the value of the Personal  Property and, if applicable,  to the
extent taxable,  the Other Assets for the period in which the Commencement  Date
occurs shall be adjusted and  apportioned as of the  Commencement  Date and paid
thereafter by Tenant in accordance with Article V hereof.

                           (d) Licenses, Service Contracts and Personal Property
Leases.  All prepayments made or payments due under any continuing  Licenses (as
defined in Section 13.9),  Contracts (as defined in Section 13.6),  and Personal
Property Leases (as defined in Section 13.26)  affecting the Demised Premises or
Other Assets, including,  without limitation,  parking, garbage removal, laundry
and  maintenance  agreements,  shall  be  adjusted  and  apportioned  as of  the
Commencement   Date.  Tenant  shall  assume  all  such  obligations  under  such
continuing  Licenses,  Contracts and Personal  Property  Leases which arise (and
relate  to the  period)  on and  after the  Commencement  Date.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary  contained in this Lease,  Landlord shall terminate any
and all service contracts,  leases and/or other agreements  affecting or related
to the Demised  Premises  which are with any person or entity that is affiliated
with  Landlord,  including  without  limitation,  any and all  Contracts  and/or
Personal  Property  Leases  other than those  designated  by Tenant  pursuant to
Article XX hereof  and Tenant  shall have no  obligations  or  liabilities  with
respect thereto.

                           (e) Utilities.  All prepayments  made or payments due
with respect to utilities  servicing the Demised  Premises,  including,  without
limitation, water, sewer, electric, gas and utility bills, shall be adjusted and
apportioned as of the Commencement Date.  Landlord shall use its best efforts to
have  all  utility  meters  read on the  Commencement  Date so as to  accurately
determine the proration of current utility bills.

<PAGE>
                  3.4 Other  Prorations.  All other charges and fees customarily
prorated and adjusted in similar transactions in the locale in which the Demised
Premises  are  situated  shall  be  prorated  as of  the  Commencement  Date  in
accordance with such custom. However,  nothing contained herein shall operate to
subject  Tenant to any  liability  of  Landlord,  and Tenant does not assume any
liability of Landlord, except as specifically set forth in this Lease.

                  In the event that accurate  prorations  and other  adjustments
cannot be made as of the  Commencement  Date because current bills or statements
are not obtainable (as, for example,  utility bills),  the parties shall prorate
such items upon receipt of the final bill or statement.


                                   ARTICLE IV
                              TITLE AND POSSESSION
                              --------------------

                  4.1 Title and Authority.  Landlord  represents and warrants to
Tenant that Landlord owns the fee simple title to the Land, Leased Improvements,
Related Rights and Fixtures and Landlord owns  marketable  title to the Personal
Property  and Other  Assets,  free and clear of all Liens (as defined in Section
13.10) other than as set forth on Schedules 13.10(a),  13.10(b) and 13.11(a) and
other than as  described  in Section  13.11(b),  and  Landlord has the right and
complete  authority to enter into this Lease on the terms and conditions and for
the use and purposes herein stated. Said Schedules 13.10(a),  13.10(b), 13.11(a)
and 13.11(b) shall each be updated to the extent  necessary on and as of the day
preceding the Commencement Date.

                  4.2 Leased Equipment.  As of the Commencement  Date,  Landlord
shall   furnish  the   Facility   with  the   Personal   Property  and  Fixtures
(collectively,  the "Leased Equipment"),  including,  without limitation,  those
items of the  Personal  Property  and  Fixtures  set forth on  Exhibit B hereto.
Landlord  shall have no  obligation  to  furnish  the  Facility  with any Leased
Equipment after the  Commencement  Date. The Leased  Equipment shall include all
the  personal  property,  fixtures,  equipment  and  furnishings  located at the
Demised  Premises  on the  date of this  Lease  and all the  personal  property,
fixtures,  equipment and furnishings necessary and appropriate for the continued
current operation of the Facility (in the same manner and scope as its operation
on the date of this Lease) by Tenant,  as of the Commencement  Date; all of such
Leased  Equipment being leased to Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease. No
additional rent, beyond Annual Rent provided for in Article III hereof, shall be
paid by Tenant for the Leased Equipment.


                  4.3 Surrender of Possession.  At the end of the Lease Term, or
upon the  earlier  termination  of this  Lease,  Tenant,  at its  sole  cost and
expense,  shall  surrender  the  Demised  Premises  to Landlord in the same good
condition and state of repair as they were in at the Commencement Date, ordinary
wear and tear and, except as otherwise provided in this Lease, damage by fire or
other casualty excepted,  and shall convey and transfer to Landlord such portion
of the Other  Assets as shall not have been used,  depleted  or  consumed in the
ordinary  course of the  operation of the Facility  and,  subject to Section 8.2
hereof,  shall  also  convey and  transfer  to  Landlord  any  replacements  and
accessories  thereto acquired by Tenant during the Lease Term, to the extent the
same continue in existence at the end of the Lease Term, as well as sufficient


                                      - 7 -
<PAGE>

Inventory  necessary  for the operation of the Facility for a period of ten (10)
business days following the end of the Lease Term or such earlier termination of
this Lease.

                  4.4  Holding  Over.  If Tenant  remains in  possession  of the
Demised  Premises  after the  expiration of the Lease Term,  except as otherwise
provided in the Option Agreement (as hereinafter defined), such possession shall
be as a tenant at sufferance. During such occupancy, rent shall be payable equal
to 150% times the monthly amount of Annual Rent payable during the last month of
the Lease  Term,  and the  provisions  of this  Lease  shall be  applicable  and
continue in full force and effect.  However,  Landlord's  acceptance of any rent
payments  and the terms of this  Section 4.4 shall not  constitute  a renewal of
this  Lease  or give  Tenant  any  right to  continue  to  occupy  the Land on a
month-to-month basis or otherwise.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  if Tenant is
unable to surrender the Demised  Premises  because  Landlord  fails to provide a
qualified and duly licensed operator (a "Proper  Successor") for the Facility at
the end of the  Lease  Term to take over the  operation  and  management  of the
Facility,  Tenant shall have the right, but shall not be obligated to, remain in
possession  of the Demised  Premises and continue to operate and manage the same
if Tenant would be legally prohibited from abandoning the Demised Premises or in
Tenant's judgment, abandoning the Demised Premises without a Proper Successor in
place to continue the  operations of the Facility  would  jeopardize its (or its
affiliates') reputation as a provider of residential congregant,  nursing and/or
assisted living facility care or could otherwise  subject it (or its affiliates)
to liability.  In the event Tenant remains in possession of the Demised Premises
pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant shall (a) pay to Landlord
as gross rent during such occupancy 90% the Annual Rent payable by Tenant in the
last Lease Year of the Lease Term and (b)  surrender  possession  of the Demised
Premises within ten (10) days after Landlord provides a Proper Successor to take
over the operation and management of the Facility.

                        TAXES, ASSESSMENTS AND UTILITIES
                        --------------------------------

                  5.1 Real Estate Taxes.  Tenant,  at its sole cost and expense,
shall pay when due all ad valorem general real estate taxes, betterment or other
assessments and transit taxes  (collectively,  "Impositions") which are assessed
against,  levied,  imposed  upon,  become a lien or become due and payable  with
respect to or upon the Demised Premises,  and no other property, and which first
become  due and  payable,  or any  installments  thereof  which  become  due and
payable,  on and after the Commencement  Date and during the Lease Term.  Tenant
shall provide  Landlord with copies of all receipts  received in connection with
the  payment  of such  taxes and  assessments  within  twenty  (20)  days  after
Landlord's  request  prior to the date  interest or  penalties on such taxes and
assessments would be imposed.  Tenant shall have the right, at its sole cost and
expense  and in good  faith,  to  contest  the  amount or  validity  of any such
Imposition payable by Tenant under the terms of this Lease,  provided,  however,
that if at any time payment of any such  Imposition  shall  become  necessary to
prevent the tax sale of the Demised  Premises or any portion  thereof because of
nonpayment,  then Tenant shall pay the same in  sufficient  time to prevent such
sale. Landlord shall join, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, in any proceedings
referred to above,  and hereby  agrees that the same may be brought in its name,
if the  provisions of any law, rule or  regulations at the time, in effect shall
require that such proceedings be brought by and/or in the


                                      - 8 -
<PAGE>
name of Landlord or any owner of the Demised Premises.  Tenant shall be entitled
to any  refund  of any  Impositions,  and all  penalties  or  interest  thereon,
received by Landlord  which shall have been paid by Tenant,  or which shall have
been paid by Landlord but previously reimbursed in full by Tenant. Provided that
no Event of Default shall have occurred and be  continuing,  Landlord shall not,
without Tenant's prior approval, make or agree to any settlement,  compromise or
other  disposition  of any such  proceedings or discontinue or withdraw any such
proceedings  or accept  any  refund  or other  adjustment  of or credit  for any
Imposition as a result of any such proceedings.  Landlord hereby appoints Tenant
the  attorney-in-fact  of Landlord  for the purpose of making all payments to be
made by Tenant  pursuant  to any of the  provisions  of this Lease to persons or
entities other than Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this  Lease,  if, by not later than  thirty (30) days prior to the final date
for contesting  the validity or amount of any real estate taxes and  assessments
with  respect to the last Lease Year of the Lease  Term,  Tenant  shall not have
advised Landlord that Tenant intends to conduct such contest, Landlord will have
the right (but not the obligation) to contest the validity and/or amount of such
Impositions  for the last Lease Year of the Lease Term  without  the  consent of
Tenant, but at Landlord's sole cost and expense.

                  5.1.1    If at any time  during the Lease Term the  methods of
                           taxation   of    Impositions    prevailing   at   the
                           commencement  of the  Initial  Term  hereof  shall be
                           altered so that in lieu of, or as a supplement to, or
                           a  substitute  for,  the  whole  or any  part  of the
                           Impositions  then levied,  assessed or imposed on the
                           Demised  Premises,  any of the  following are levied,
                           assessed or imposed:

                           (a) a tax,  assessment,  levy,  imposition or charge,
wholly  or  partially  as a capital  levy or  otherwise,  on the rents  received
therefrom; or

                           (b)  a  tax,  assessment,  levy  (including  but  not
limited to any municipal,  state or federal levy), imposition or charge measured
by or based in whole or in part  upon the  Demised  Premises  and  imposed  upon
Landlord; or

                           (c) a license fee measured by the rent payable  under
this Lease;

then,  in such event,  all such taxes,  assessments,  levies,  impositions,  and
charges,  or the part  thereof  so  measured  or  based,  shall be  deemed to be
included in the  Impositions  payable by Tenant pursuant to this Section 5.1, to
the extent that such taxes, assessments,  levies,  impositions and charges would
be payable if the Demised  Premises were the only  property of Landlord  subject
thereto,  and Tenant  shall pay and  discharge  the same as herein  provided  in
respect of the payment of general real estate taxes and assessments.

                  5.1.2    Impositions  shall not  include  any  income,  excess
                           profit, estate,  inheritance,  succession,  transfer,
                           franchise,  capital or other tax or  assessment  upon
                           Landlord  or  (unless  in  substitution,   as  herein
                           provided) upon the rentals  payable under this Lease,
                           all  of  which  shall  be  the  sole   obligation  of
                           Landlord.  The  real  estate  taxes  on  the  Demised
                           Premises  during any year shall mean such  amounts as
                           shall be finally determined, after deducting


                                      - 9 -
<PAGE>

                           abatements, discounts, refunds or rebates, if any, to
                           the  Impositions  payable with respect to the Demised
                           Premises during said year.

                  5.1.3    Any  Impositions  which  become  due for the  year in
                           which  possession  is given to  Tenant  but which are
                           payable  with  respect  to  a  period  prior  to  the
                           Commencement  Date shall be prorated for the calendar
                           year  between  Landlord  and  Tenant as  provided  in
                           Section  3.3  hereof  and such  proration  shall also
                           occur at the end of the Lease  Term for the  calendar
                           year of termination.

                  5.1.4    If Landlord  shall have the right to elect the period
                           over  which any  Impositions  are  payable,  Landlord
                           agrees to elect  and  Tenant  may make such  payments
                           over the longest period of time available.

                  5.2 Personal  Property  Taxes.  Beginning on the  Commencement
Date,  Tenant,  at its sole cost and  expense,  shall pay when due all  personal
property taxes and assessments (if any) assessed against,  levied, imposed upon,
or which would  become a lien or become due and payable with respect to, or upon
any of Tenant's tangible or intangible personal property or the Leased Equipment
or the Other Assets,  during the Lease Term.  Tenant shall provide Landlord with
copies of all receipts received in connection with the payment of such taxes and
assessments  not less than ten (10) days prior to the date interest or penalties
on such taxes and assessments would be imposed.  Any personal property taxes and
assessments which become due for the year in which possession is given to Tenant
but which are payable with respect to a period  prior to the  Commencement  Date
shall be prorated for the calendar year between  Landlord and Tenant as provided
in  Section  3.3 hereof  and such  proration  shall also occur at the end of the
Lease Term for the calendar year of termination.

                  5.3  Sewer  Use  Fees.  Beginning  on the  Commencement  Date,
Tenant,  at its sole  cost and  expense,  shall pay when due all sewer use fees,
rents,  charges and deposits  assessed against,  levied,  imposed upon, or which

Demised  Premises,  during the Lease Term.  Tenant shall  provide  Landlord with
copies of all  receipts  received in  connection  with the payment of such fees,
rents,  charges  and  deposits  not less  than ten (10)  days  prior to the date
interest or penalties on such fees or deposits would be imposed.

                  5.4 Utilities.  Beginning on the Commencement Date, Tenant, at

                             USE OF DEMISED PREMISES
                             -----------------------

                  6.1 Use by Tenant.  Tenant shall use the Demised  Premises for
the business purpose of a residential  congregant,  nursing care and/or assisted
living facility and all related and ancillary medical and therapeutic  services,
and for no other purpose without Landlord's consent,  which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed.

                  6.2 Compliance with Laws. Except as otherwise provided in this
Section 6.2, and in Sections 8.1.4,  8.1.5, and 8.1.6,  Tenant, in operating the
Demised Premises, at its sole cost and expense, shall comply with all applicable
city, county, state and federal building codes,  ordinances,  rules, regulations
and laws  applicable  to the Demised  Premises,  notices  from the issuer of the
Facility's  fire hazard or casualty  policy,  and each  covenant,  condition  or
restriction of record which is a Permitted Exception (as hereinafter defined).

                  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of
this Section 6.2,  except as otherwise  provided in this Lease,  Tenant,  at its
cost and  expense,  shall  comply with all  Environmental  Laws (as  hereinafter
defined)  that  are  applicable  to  its  operation  of  the  Demised  Premises,
including,  but  not  limited  to,  the  use,  handling,   treatment,   storage,
transportation  and  disposal  of any  hazardous,  toxic  or  infectious  waste,
material or substance (including Medical Waste) and petroleum products, material
or waste. Landlord, at its cost and expense, shall comply with all Environmental
Laws in connection  with the  previous,  present  and/or  future use,  handling,
treatment,  storage,  transportation  and disposal of any such waste,  material,
substance  and  products  at or on the  Demised  Premises  by anyone  other than
Tenant, or its employees, agents, contractors,  invitees, residents, patients or
clients.

                  6.3  Waste.  Tenant  shall  neither  commit,  nor  permit  the
commission of waste upon or against the Demised Premises, ordinary wear and tear
excepted.

                  6.4 License and Permits.  Tenant at its sole cost and expense,
shall  acquire and  maintain  all  licenses  and  permits  needed to operate the
Demised  Premises for the then  applicable use permitted  herein.  Tenant,  as a
provider of residential care services,  shall comply with all applicable  rules,
regulations,  laws,  statutes,  orders,  ordinances and  requirements,  and will
maintain  its   certifications   for  reimbursement   and  licensure,   and  its
accreditation,  if  compliance  with  accreditation  standards  is  required  to
maintain the operations of the Facility.

                  6.5 Landlord's  Repairs.  Landlord shall have no obligation to
make improvements, alterations, replacements or repairs to the Demised Premises,
except as may be expressly provided herein.

                  6.6 Conflict with Insurance Policies.  Tenant shall not permit
any use of the Demised  Premises which would  invalidate any policy of insurance
or which would increase the


                                     - 11 -
<PAGE>
premiums  for any  insurance  policy  carried by or for the  benefit of Landlord
unless Tenant pays any such increase in premiums.


                                   ARTICLE VII
                                 EMINENT DOMAIN
                                 --------------

                  7.1 Permanent or Temporary  Taking.  If after the execution of
this Lease all or any part of the Demised Premises is acquired on a permanent or
temporary basis by any federal,  state or local governmental agency, by means of
condemnation or threat of condemnation, or by reason of mutual agreement between
Landlord, Tenant, and said governmental agency, this Article VII shall control.

                  7.2  Compensation.  All  compensation  awarded  for any taking
(including,  but not limited to, loss of  leasehold)  shall belong to and be the
property of Landlord;  provided,  however,  that Tenant shall be entitled to any
portion of the award made to Tenant for its loss of business, depreciation to or
for the cost of removal of stock,  fixtures,  equipment  (other  than the Leased
Equipment) or signs,  moving expenses,  relocation costs or any other allowances
to which Tenant may be legally entitled. This Lease shall not preclude the right
of Tenant to pursue an independent  action for damages against any  governmental
agency for said taking,  provided,  however that in no event shall any resulting
award to  Tenant  reduce  the  amount  of the  award to  which  Landlord  may be
entitled. In any event, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any damages.

                  7.3 Effect on this  Lease of  Permanent  Taking.  In the event
that the whole of the Demised Premises is taken permanently by any method,  then
this Lease shall terminate as of the date title to the Demised Premises vests in
the  governmental  agency.  Such date of vesting shall operate as though it were
the date  originally  intended by the parties for  expiration  of this Lease and
Tenant  shall  pay  Annual  Rent  and  Landlord   shall  refund  to  Tenant  any
overpayments of Annual Rent or other charges within five (5) days after the date
of such  vesting  and all  other  obligations  hereunder  accrued  (prorated  as
appropriate) to the date of such vesting.

                  In  the  event  a   substantial   and  material   portion  (as
hereinafter defined) of the Demised Premises are taken permanently,  then Tenant
shall have the option to terminate this Lease by giving Landlord at least ninety
(90) days' written  notice.  If Tenant does not elect to terminate this Lease or
if less than a  substantial  and  material  portion of the Demised  Premises are
taken,  then  this  Lease  shall  terminate  only as to the part of the  Demised
Premises  taken and Annual Rent shall be reduced for the  remainder of the Lease
Term by a just, fair and equitable  proportion of Annual Rent payable  according
to the size, nature and extent of the property that is taken. Any adjustments or
reductions  in Annual Rent,  as  contemplated  by this  Section  shall take into
account  the  practical  and  economic  effect of the taking in  question on the
operation of the Demised Premises.  In the event that a substantial and material
part of the Demised  Premises is  temporarily  taken in excess of three  hundred
sixty-five (365)  consecutive days, then such taking shall be deemed a permanent
taking for  purposes  of this  Lease.  It shall be  presumed  that the taking is
"substantial  and  material"  if  (a)  the  Kansas   Department  of  Health  and
Environment


                                     - 12 -
<PAGE>
permanently  closes the Demised  Premises whether in whole or in part because of
such taking for use as a nursing care and/or assisted living facility, or (b) if
in Tenant's reasonable business judgment the portion of the Demised Premises not
so taken is  inadequate  to continue to operate the  Facility in a  commercially
profitable manner as a nursing care and/or assisted living facility, as the case
may be according to the then actual use by Tenant.

                  In the event that the Demised  Premises  become  landlocked by
such taking for a period in excess of three (3) consecutive  days and reasonable
alternative   access  cannot  be  provided  within  five  (5)  days  after  such
occurrence,  then Annual Rent shall abate until access or reasonable alternative
access is  provided  to the Demised  Premises;  provided  that if such access or
reasonable  alternative  access cannot be provided within thirty (30) days after
such  occurrence,  then Tenant shall have the right to  terminate  this Lease by
written  notice to Landlord,  which shall  terminate  this Lease sixty (60) days
after such notice.

                  7.4 Effect on this  Lease of  Temporary  Taking.  In the event
that all or part of the Demised  Premises are taken for a temporary use,  Annual
Rent shall be reduced and abated by a just,  fair and  equitable  proportion  of
Annual Rent  payable  according  to the size,  nature and extent of the property
that is taken.  Any adjustments or reductions in Annual Rent, as contemplated by
this Section shall take into account the  practical  and economic  effect of the
taking in  question  on the  operation  of the Demised  Premises.  Tenant  shall
continue to perform all other  conditions  of this Lease as though the taking or
condemnation  had not  occurred,  except  to the  extent  that  Tenant  shall be
prevented from doing so by reason of the taking or  condemnation  and except for
the  abatement of Annual Rent as provided  herein.  Neither  party to this Lease
shall have any right to terminate this Lease by reason of a temporary  taking of
all or part of the Demised Premises, except as stated in Section 7.3 above.

                  7.5 Restoration. If any building or improvement on the Demised
Premises or any replacement  thereof shall be damaged or partially  destroyed by
any such  taking of less than all or  substantially  all  thereof and this Lease
shall not be terminated by reason  thereof,  Tenant shall be entitled to receive
such  portion  of any  award  to  which  Landlord  may be  entitled,  as will be
sufficient to pay for the costs of restoring and rebuilding such building(s) and
improvement(s)  and within ninety (90) days after receipt by Tenant of such sum,
Tenant  shall  proceed  with  reasonable  diligence  to  conduct  any  necessary
demolition  and to  repair,  replace  or  rebuild,  any  remaining  part of said
building(s) and  improvement(s),  or of any replacement thereof not so taken, so
as to constitute  such  remaining part thereof a complete,  useable  building in
substantially  the same condition and repair as the building(s) and improvements
were in prior to any such  taking;  and Tenant  shall  hold that  portion of any
award received by Tenant  pursuant to this Section in trust to apply the same to
the cost and expense of such demolition, repairing, replacing and rebuilding. If
the cost of any work  necessary  to repair,  replace or rebuild  (including  any
necessary  demolition  work) any damage to or destruction of the building(s) and
improvement(s) or any replacement or replacements  thereof shall equal or exceed
an aggregate cost of One Hundred Thousand ($100,000) Dollars,  the same shall be
conducted under the  supervision of an architect or engineer  selected by Tenant
and approved in writing by Landlord, which approval Landlord agrees shall not be
unreasonably  withheld or delayed.  Whenever  pursuant to this Section Tenant is
entitled to receive the proceeds of an award in excess of $100,000 in amount for
the


                                     - 13 -
<PAGE>
purpose of applying the same to the cost of demolishing, repairing, replacing or
rebuilding, such proceeds shall be paid to the Insurance Trustee provided for in
Article XV, to be disposed of by such Insurance  Trustee in the manner  provided
in Article XII.

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

                  8.1      Repairs by Tenant Generally.

                  8.1.1    Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease,
                           including  without  limitation,  in this Article VIII
                           and  in  Articles  VII  and  XII,   Tenant  shall  be
                           responsible for the performance, at its sole cost and
                           expense,  of  all  necessary  repairs,  replacements,
                           alterations and improvements, whether or not in order
                           to comply with all applicable  laws,  regulations and
                           municipal  ordinances,  (collectively,  "Repairs") to
                           the  Demised  Premises.  This  obligation  to perform
                           Repairs shall include,  at its sole cost and expense,
                           inspecting,   keeping,  maintaining,   repairing  and
                           replacing  the  interior,  exterior,  structural  and
                           nonstructural  improvements,  alterations  and  other
                           components on the Demised  Premises so as to keep the
                           improvements    and    interior     decorations    in
                           substantially  the same  condition as they were in on
                           the  Commencement  Date,  subject to depreciation and
                           ordinary wear and tear, and in a safe condition, free
                           from  dirt,  water,  snow,  ice,  refuse,  trash  and
                           obstruction  and  shall  also  include,  but  not  be
                           limited  to,  signs,  glass,  landscaping,   any  air
                           conditioning,   heating,   electrical,   ventilating,
                           parking areas and driveways,  plumbing systems, roof,
                           walls  and  all  interior   and  exterior   cleaning,
                           painting,  repairs  and  replacements  on or  at  the
                           Demised Premises.  Tenant shall not voluntarily alter
                           any  structural  part of the Leased  Improvements  or
                           demolish, remove, or materially and permanently alter
                           any permanent  improvement  in or on the Land or make
                           permanent additions thereto the cost of which, in the
                           case of any single  alteration  or addition,  exceeds
                           $50,000  or, in the case of all such  alterations  or
                           additions in any Lease Year, exceeds in the aggregate
                           $250,000,   without  the  prior  written  consent  of
                           Landlord,  which  consent  shall not be  unreasonably
                           withheld  or   delayed;   provided,   however,   that
                           Landlord's  consent  shall not  -----------------  be
                           required  with respect to any such Repairs  which are
                           required  in order to comply  with  applicable  laws,
                           regulations or municipal ordinances or in the case of
                           an emergency or any other situation where bodily harm
                           is  threatened  or Tenant is exposed to  liability if
                           such Repairs are not made.  In  addition,  Tenant may
                           perform  any  other  non-structural  alterations  and
                           additions to the Demised Premises without  Landlord's
                           consent  so long as Tenant  gives a copy of the plans
                           and  specifications,  if any, to Landlord  within ten
                           (10) days  prior to making  such  alterations  and/or
                           additions;    provided    further    that    cosmetic
                           modifications   and  decorations  that  are  --------
                           substantially  consistent  with  the  quality  of the
                           original materials and


                                     - 14 -
<PAGE>
                           decorations  that  were used in the  Facility  may be
                           made by Tenant without any notification to Landlord.

                  8.1.1.1 The dollar amounts set forth in this  paragraph  8.1.1
shall be  adjusted  and  increased  each  Lease  Year by an amount  equal to the
product resulting from multiplying each of said dollar amounts by a fraction the
numerator of which is the Price Index  published for the first calendar month of
the Lease  Year with  respect to which the  adjustment  is being  made,  and the
denominator of which is the Base Price Index.

                  8.1.1.2 As used in this Lease the  following  terms shall have
the following respective meanings:

                                    (i) "Price  Index"  shall mean the  "Revised
Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (the CPI-U) published by the Bureau
of Labor  Statistics  of the United States  Department of Labor,  for the Kansas
City, Mo.-KS. area, All Items, (1982-84=100)"; and

                                    (ii) "Base Price Index" shall mean the Price
Index published for the calendar month in which the Commencement  Date occurs or
if not published for such month,  then the closest  preceding  month for which a
Price Index is available.

                  8.1.1.3  In the event  the  Price  Index  shall  hereafter  be
converted  to a different  standard  reference  base or otherwise  revised,  the
determination  of the adjusted  dollar amounts  hereunder shall be made with the
use of such conversion  factor,  formula or table for converting the Price Index
as may be published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, or Prentice Hall, Inc. or
any other nationally recognized publisher of similar statistical information. If
at any time during the Lease Term the Price  Index shall no longer be  published
by said  Bureau,  then any  comparable  index  issued by said  Bureau or similar
agency  of the  United  States  issuing  similar  indices  shall be used for the
purposes of making the  adjustments  under  Article  III and under this  Article
VIII, the same, however, to be appropriately adjusted in order to give effect to
the intent of the foregoing provisions of this Lease. In the event that the U.S.
Department  of  Labor,  Bureau  of Labor  Statistics,  changes  the  publication
frequency  of the Price Index so that a Price Index is not  available  to make a
cost-of-living adjustment as herein provided in Article III or this Article VIII
for the month  specified,  the  cost-of-living  adjustment to be made thereunder
shall be based on the  percentage  difference  between  the Price  Index for the
closest  preceding month for which a Price Index is available and the Base Price
Index.

                  8.1.2    Tenant shall keep the Demised  Premises free from any
                           mechanic's,   materialman's,  or  similar  liens  and
                           encumbrances  and any claims  therefor in  connection
                           with any  Repairs  and Tenant  shall  remove any such
                           lien or  encumbrance,  by bond or  otherwise,  within
                           thirty (30) days after  notice  from  Landlord of the
                           same. If Tenant fails to do so,  Landlord may pay the
                           amount  of such  claim or take such  other  action as
                           Landlord  deems  reasonably  necessary to remove such
                           claim,  lien, or encumbrance after  investigating the
                           validity  thereof.  The  amount  so  paid  and  costs
                           incurred by Landlord shall be deemed  additional rent
                           under this Lease, payable on

                           demand, when accompanied by detailed  information and
                           invoices regarding such amount. Nothing in this Lease
                           shall be deemed a consent by  Landlord  to the filing
                           of any lien on  Landlord's  interest  in the  Demised
                           Premises  and any such liens shall  attach  solely to
                           Tenant's  interest in the Demised  Premises and shall
                           in all respects be subordinate to Landlord's interest
                           in the Demised Premises. Tenant shall not do anything
                           or  permit  anything  to be  done  upon  the  Demised
                           Premises which will  materially and adversely  affect
                           the safety or security of the Demised Premises, which
                           will increase the rate of fire or casualty  insurance
                           upon the building or its contents, without Landlord's
                           written   consent,   which   consent   shall  not  be
                           unreasonably withheld or delayed, or which will cause
                           structural  damage  to the  Demised  Premises  or any
                           Leased Improvements.  Except for trade fixtures,  any
                           improvements  made  to  the  Demised  Premises  shall
                           become the property of Landlord,  free of charge,  if
                           affixed to the realty.

                  8.1.3    Tenant's  obligation  to perform  Repairs  shall also
                           include without limitation the repair and maintenance
                           of Leased  Equipment and the replacement from time to
                           time  of  obsolete,   damaged  or  unsightly   Leased
                           Equipment,  so as to keep the same in good  operating
                           condition  consistent with a nursing care or assisted
                           living  facility,  whichever is being operated at the
                           Demised   Premises   at   the   time   in   question.
                           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
                           this Lease,  any Leased  Equipment which is leased or
                           the subject of a conditional sales agreement or other
                           finance   arrangement  at  the  commencement  of  the
                           Initial  Term and any  replacement(s)  of such Leased
                           Equipment  may be  encumbered  similarly  during  the
                           Lease Term.

                  8.1.4    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
                           this  Lease,  if  Tenant  is  required  to  make  any
                           expenditures  for Repairs (whether or not in order to
                           comply  with all  applicable  laws,  regulations  and
                           municipal  ordinances) to the Demised Premises during
                           the last two Lease Years of the Lease Term (excluding
                           Repairs  that are  required to be made as a result of
                           Tenant's,   or  Tenant's   agents',   employees'   or
                           contractors' negligence or wilful misconduct),  which
                           expenditures    according   to   generally   accepted
                           accounting  principles ("GAAP") should be capitalized
                           (such  expenditures  being  hereinafter  collectively
                           called  "Capital   Expenditures")  and  if  any  such
                           Capital  Expenditure  is a Major Capital  Expenditure
                           (as  hereinafter  defined),   Tenant  shall  send  to
                           Landlord a notice of such circumstance,  which notice
                           shall specify the nature of the repair,  replacement,
                           alteration or improvement for which the Major Capital
                           Expenditure is being incurred  (hereinafter  called a
                           "Capital Improvement") and the estimated cost of such
                           Capital  Improvement.  Tenant shall only be obligated
                           to pay that portion ("Tenant's Share") of the cost of
                           such  Capital   Improvement  as  shall  be  equitably
                           apportioned  to  it  taking  into  consideration  the
                           reasonable  useful life  (according  to GAAP) of such
                           Capital  Improvement and the unexpired Lease Term and
                           the cost of such  Capital  Improvement  in  excess of
                           Tenant's

                           Share  (such  excess  cost being  hereinafter  called
                           "Landlord's  Share")  shall  be  borne  by  Landlord.
                           Tenant  shall only be  obligated  to make the Capital
                           Improvement  if,  within ten (10) business days after
                           Landlord  receives Tenant's  above-described  notice,
                           Tenant and  Landlord  agree on the  determination  of
                           Tenant's  Share and  Landlord's  Share of such  Major
                           Capital  Expenditure and the manner in which Landlord
                           will pay and/or reimburse Landlord's Share to Tenant.
                           If the parties  cannot agree on an equitable  sharing
                           of any such Major Capital  Expenditure  or the manner
                           of payment and/or reimbursement,  Tenant may (i) seek
                           to  have  the  matter   resolved  by  arbitration  as
                           elsewhere provided in this Lease prior to undertaking
                           to perform any such Capital Improvement, (ii) perform
                           any such Capital  Improvement and during and/or after
                           the  performance  thereof  seek  to have  the  matter
                           resolved by arbitration as elsewhere provided in this
                           Lease, in which case  immediately  upon resolution of
                           such  matter  Landlord  shall  pay to  Tenant  and/or
                           reimburse  Tenant  for  Landlord's  Share of the cost
                           thereof,  or (iii) terminate this Lease upon not less
                           than  thirty  (30)  days  prior  written   notice  to
                           Landlord.   In  the  event  that   after   allocating
                           Landlord's and Tenant's respective Shares of the cost
                           of a Capital Improvement,  Tenant exercises a renewal
                           option,  Tenant  shall  reimburse  Landlord  for  the
                           unamortized  amount of  Landlord's  Share of any such
                           cost  theretofore  paid  by  Landlord  with  interest
                           thereon  at the rate per annum  set forth in  Article
                           III hereof.

                  As used  herein,  a  "Major  Capital  Expenditure"  means  any
Capital Expenditure which is required to be made during the last two Lease Years
of the Lease Term and which exceeds $25,000  individually,  or which, when added
to all other  Capital  Expenditures  theretofore  incurred by Tenant during such
period, exceeds $100,000.

                  8.1.5    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
                           this Lease,  Tenant shall not be obligated to make or
                           to pay for any Repairs  that are required as a result
                           of the  negligence or wilful  misconduct of Landlord,
                           or any of its or its affiliates' (which shall include
                           an affiliate  of The  Homestead  Company,  L.C. or of
                           Jack West),  employees,  agents or  contractors or as
                           provided in paragraph 8.1.6 below.

                  8.1.6    Landlord  agrees  that if at any  time or  times  any
                           governmental  authorities or insurance rating bureaus
                           having  jurisdiction  shall complain that the Demised
                           Premises,   or  any   portion   thereof,   were   not
                           constructed in compliance with any law,  ordinance or
                           regulation of any governmental authority or insurance
                           rating bureau having  jurisdiction  and shall request
                           compliance,  then  Landlord  shall,  upon  receipt of
                           notice  of  such   complaint,   cause  such  repairs,
                           alterations  or other  work to be done so as to bring
                           about the compliance requested.

                  8.2  Quality  and  Promptness  of  Repairs  and  Replacements;
Ownership of Replacements and Warranties.  All repairs and replacements  made by
Tenant shall be made when  reasonably  necessary and within a reasonably  prompt
period of time;  shall be with new or  like-new  materials  of at least equal or
better  value,  utility  and  condition  to that  which  the  same was in at the
commencement  of the  Initial  Term,  taking into  consideration  the quality of
materials and  workmanship of the same, and shall be done in compliance with all
applicable laws, codes, ordinances, rules, regulations and statutes of the city,
county, state and federal governments.


                  Any such  replaced  Leased  Equipment  shall be and remain the
property of Landlord; provided, however, that if any item of Leased Equipment is
replaced by Tenant  during the Lease Term at Tenant's sole cost and expense with
an upgraded item of Leased Equipment,  then Tenant shall have the right prior to
the end of the Lease Term to either  remove such  upgraded  item and replace the
same with a like item of Leased Equipment of equal or better quality, design and
function as existed on the Commencement Date.

                  Landlord agrees that it will give to Tenant the benefit of all
warranties and  guarantees  they may have received or be entitled to from any of
their  contractors or materialmen  with respect to the Demised Premises and that
Tenant may enforce the same either in Tenant's name or in Landlord's name.

                  8.3  Liability  of  Landlord.  Except if caused by  Landlord's
breach of this Lease or by the  negligence or willful  misconduct of Landlord or
of any of its  affiliates'  (which shall  include an affiliate of The  Homestead
Company, L.C. or of Jack West), employees,  agents or contractors,  all property
belonging  to Tenant or any occupant of the Demised  Premises  shall be there at
the risk of Tenant or such other occupant only, and Landlord shall not be liable
for theft or  misappropriation  thereof,  or loss or damage to any such property
due to vandalism,  water,  rain, snow,  frost,  fire,  storm or accident,  or by
breakage, stoppage or leakage of water, gas, heating or sewer pipes or plumbing,
upon, about or adjacent to the Demised Premises or by any other cause.

                  8.4 Removal of Personal Property. Provided that Tenant has not
accepted an offer to purchase the Demised  Premises and Other Assets pursuant to
the  Right of First  Refusal  Agreement,  dated of even date  herewith,  between
Landlord and Tenant (the "Right of First  Refusal"),  or has not  exercised  its
option to purchase the Demised  Premises and Other Assets pursuant to a separate
Purchase Option Agreement by and among the parties hereto, executed of even date
herewith (the "Option  Agreement"),  upon the  expiration or termination of this
Lease,  Tenant,  at its sole cost and  expense,  shall  remove  from the Demised
Premises all of Tenant's personal  property and equipment.  If any disfigurement
or damage  results  from such  removal,  repairs  shall be made by Tenant at its
expense to restore the Demised Premises to its original condition, ordinary wear
and tear excepted.

                  If upon  surrender  to Landlord of  possession  of the Demised
Premises,  Tenant,  at its sole cost and expense,  does not within ten (10) days
after  Landlord's  demand  remove  Tenant's  personal  property  and  equipment,
Landlord, at Landlord's election, shall have the right to treat

Tenant's  property as having been  abandoned  by Tenant to Landlord  without any
payment or offset.

                                      SIGNS
                                      -----

         Tenant  shall have the right to place upon the  Demised  Premises  such
sign or signs as it may desire,  at Tenant's  sole cost and  expense.  All signs
shall  comply with all  applicable  federal,  state and local  statutes,  rules,
regulations and ordinances.  Tenant shall maintain such signs in a good state of
repair  and shall  repair  any  damage  to the  Demised  Premises  caused by the
erection, maintenance or removal at the termination of this Lease of such signs.
Upon the  termination  of this  Lease,  all signs of Tenant  shall be removed in
accordance with Section 8.4.

                    ASSIGNMENT, SUBLETTING AND SUBORDINATION
                    ----------------------------------------

                  10.1 Assignment or Subletting by Tenant. Except as hereinafter
provided,  Tenant shall not assign,  transfer,  pledge,  hypothecate or encumber
this Lease or any interest  herein,  or sublet the Demised  Premises or any part
thereof or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto, or allow any person other
than Tenant and its agents,  managers,  concessionaires,  licensees,  employees,
residents,  patients and medical staff to occupy or use the Demises  Premises or
any part thereof without  Landlord's prior written consent,  which consent shall
not  be  unreasonably  withheld  or  delayed.   Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,
Landlord's  consent  shall not be required  for, and this Section 10.1 shall not
prohibit,  (i) an assignment to a corporate  parent,  affiliate or subsidiary of
Tenant,  or any  joint  venture,  partnership  or other  entity,  provided  such
assignee  is  either  Integrated  Living   Communities,   Inc.  ("ILCI")  or  is
"controlled"  directly or indirectly by ILCI (the term  "control" as used herein
shall be deemed to mean  ownership  of at least  50% of the  outstanding  voting
stock of a corporation,  or other majority  equity and voting  interest if not a
corporation);  (ii) an  assignment  in  connection  with the sale of ten percent
(10%) or more of ILCI's  assets and (iii) an  assignment  in  connection  with a
merger or  consolidation.  Any  unauthorized  assignment  or  sublease  shall be
voidable and shall  constitute a breach of this Lease at Landlord's  option.  No
assignment  of this Lease  shall be binding on  Landlord  until (a) a  duplicate
original of such assignment, duly executed by the assignor shall be delivered to
Landlord,  and (b) the  assignee  shall  execute  and  deliver  to  Landlord  an
instrument in and by which the assignee shall assume and agree to perform,  from
and after the effective date of the assignment,  all of the terms, covenants and
conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be performed.  At least thirty (30)
days prior to the effectiveness of any assignment as to which Landlord's consent
is required,  Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a package of relevant information
concerning the assignee.  For purposes of this Lease,  any sale or transfer of a
controlling  interest in Tenant shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease.  No
assignment,  sale, transfer, pledge,  hypothecation or encumbrance shall relieve
Tenant  of any  obligation  contained  in this  Lease.  Tenant  shall pay all of
Landlord's reasonable costs and expenses (not in excess of $2,500),


                                     - 19 -

including   reasonable   attorney's  fees,   incurred  in  connection  with  any
assignment, sale, transfer, pledge, hypothecation,  encumbrance or sublease, for
which Landlord's consent is required.

                  10.2  Leasehold  Mortgages.  Tenant  shall have the right from
time to time to pledge,  hypothecate,  encumber  or  mortgage  this Lease  (each
herein referred to as a "leasehold mortgage").  Landlord hereby expressly agrees
that the  holder of such  leasehold  mortgage  shall be  entitled  to all of the
rights,  privileges  and powers  afforded to the holder or holders of  leasehold
mortgages under this and other Articles of this Lease.

                  10.2.1   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
                           this  Lease,  if so  requested  by the  holder of any
                           leasehold  mortgage,  any  notice  from  Landlord  to
                           Tenant  shall  be  simultaneously  delivered  to such
                           leasehold  mortgagee  at his or its  address,  and no
                           notice of default or  termination of this Lease given
                           by  Landlord  to  Tenant  shall  be  deemed   legally
                           effective until and unless notice of such default and
                           notice of such  termination  shall have been given by
                           Landlord to such leasehold mortgagee.  Such leasehold
                           mortgagee  entitled to such notice  shall have and be
                           subrogated  to any  and all  rights  of  Tenant  with
                           respect to any default  hereunder by Tenant.  Without
                           impairing the  generality  of the foregoing  right of
                           subrogation,  it is specifically agreed that any such
                           leasehold  mortgagee  shall have the right to appoint
                           an arbitrator, in case Tenant shall fail to make such
                           appointment  after  written  notice from  Landlord as
                           provided  in  Article  XVI  hereof  (a copy of  which
                           notice shall have been  simultaneously  given to such
                           leasehold  mortgagee),  and, for this purpose,  shall
                           have an  additional  period of  fifteen  (15) days to
                           make  such   appointment,   and  the   arbitrator  so
                           appointed   shall  thereupon  be  recognized  in  all
                           respects  as if he  or  she  had  been  appointed  by
                           Tenant.

                  10.2.2   Landlord will not accept any surrender,  cancellation
                           or enter into any  modification of this Lease without
                           the prior  written  consent  thereto of the holder of
                           any leasehold  mortgage who shall become  entitled to
                           notice as provided above.

                  10.2.3   If, by reason of any  default by  Tenant,  this Lease
                           shall be terminated at the election of Landlord prior
                           to the stated expiration thereof, Landlord will enter
                           into a new  lease  of the  Demised  Premises  and the
                           Other Assets with such leasehold  mortgagee (i.e. the
                           holder of a mortgage  on this Lease who shall  become
                           entitled to notice, as provided above) or its nominee
                           for the  remainder  of the term  effective  as of the
                           date of such termination, at the same Annual Rent and
                           upon  the  same  terms,  provisions,   covenants  and
                           agreements herein contained, subject, however, to the
                           rights,  if any, of any parties then in possession of
                           any part of the Demised  Premises,  provided (a) said
                           leasehold  mortgagee  shall make written request upon
                           Landlord  for such new lease within  forty-five  (45)
                           days  after  the  date of such  termination  and such
                           written request is accompanied by payment to Landlord
                           of all

                           sums which would then be due to  Landlord  under this
                           Lease but for the termination  thereof, the amount of
                           which  Landlord   agrees  to  advise  such  leasehold
                           mortgagee  of  in  writing  upon  request;  (b)  said
                           leasehold mortgagee pays to Landlord,  at the time of
                           the execution and delivery of said new lease, any and
                           all   sums   and   reasonable   expenses,   including
                           reasonable  attorneys'  fees, to which Landlord shall
                           have  been  subjected  or  paid  by  reason  of  such
                           default,  the  amount  of  which  sums  and  expenses
                           Landlord agrees to advise such leasehold mortgagee of
                           in  writing  upon  request,  and (c)  said  leasehold
                           mortgagee  shall, on or before execution and delivery
                           of said new lease,  perform and observe all the other
                           covenants and conditions herein contained on Tenant's
                           part  to be  performed  and  observed  but  for  such
                           termination  to the  extent  that  Tenant  shall have
                           failed to  perform  and  observe  the same,  Landlord
                           hereby agreeing to advise such leasehold mortgagee in
                           writing,   upon   request,   of  the   covenants  and
                           conditions  which Tenant shall have failed to perform
                           and the extent of such failure. If during such period
                           of  forty-five  (45) days requests for such new lease
                           shall be made by more than one  leasehold  mortgagee,
                           then  provided  the  provisions  of this  Section are
                           complied with,  Landlord shall be required to execute
                           and  deliver   such  new  lease  to  that   leasehold
                           mortgagee (or the nominee thereof) lowest in order of
                           priority of lien who (i) cures all defaults under all
                           prior leasehold mortgages,  (ii) delivers to Landlord
                           certificates or letters from the holders of all prior
                           leasehold  mortgages  which  certify or state that no
                           default  then  exists  under  such  prior   leasehold
                           mortgages  and (iii)  executes and  delivers,  at the
                           time  of  the  execution  of  such  new  lease,   new
                           mortgages  to  the  holders  of all  prior  leasehold
                           mortgages  on this  Lease  having  the same terms and
                           conditions,  and securing the same  amounts,  as such
                           prior  leasehold  mortgages.  Upon the  execution and
                           delivery of such new lease,  any subleases  which may
                           have  theretofore  been assigned and  transferred  to
                           Landlord shall thereupon be assigned and transferred,
                           without recourse, by Landlord to the new tenant. Such
                           new lease shall have the same  rights and  priorities
                           as this Lease.

                  10.2.4   If Landlord  shall elect to  terminate  this Lease by
                           reason of any  default  other  than a default  in the
                           payment of money,  the then  holder of any  leasehold
                           mortgage on this Lease who shall have become entitled
                           to notice,  as  provided in this  Article,  shall not
                           only have and be  subrogated to any and all rights of
                           Tenant with respect to curing of any default and have
                           the right to  obtain a new  lease as above  provided,
                           but shall also have the right to postpone  and extend
                           the specified date for the termination of this Lease,
                           as fixed by Landlord in a notice of termination,  for
                           a period of not more than six (6) months  (subject to
                           extension as provided below), provided such leasehold
                           mortgagee shall thereafter promptly cure all defaults
                           which may be cured by the  payment  of a sum of money
                           and undertake to cure any other then existing default
                           of  Tenant  and  shall  forthwith  initiate  steps to
                           acquire   Tenant's   interest   in  this   Lease   by
                           foreclosure of its mortgage or


                                     - 21 -
<PAGE>
                           otherwise.  Such  right  shall be  exercised  by such
                           leasehold-mortgagee's  giving  Landlord notice of the
                           exercise  of the same prior to the  termination  date
                           fixed in Landlord's notice of termination. If, before
                           the date specified for the  termination of this Lease
                           as extended by such leasehold-mortgagee, Tenant shall
                           be duly removed from possession, and if an assumption
                           of  performances  and observance of the covenants and
                           conditions  herein  contained on Tenant's  part to be
                           performed or observed  shall be delivered to Landlord
                           by the leasehold mortgagee,  or its nominee, then and
                           in such event the  default  under this Lease shall be
                           deemed cured and removed; and provided, further, that
                           if at the  end of  said  six (6)  month  period  such
                           leasehold  mortgagee  shall be  actively  engaged  in
                           steps to acquire Tenant's  interest herein,  the time
                           of  such  leasehold  mortgagee  to  comply  with  the
                           provisions of this Article shall be extended for such
                           additional period or periods as shall be necessary to
                           complete  such steps with  diligence,  provided  that
                           during such extension no further  default shall occur
                           hereunder.  Any  payment  to be made or  action to be
                           taken by a leasehold  mortgagee under this Article as
                           a  prerequisite  in  obtaining a new lease or keeping
                           this Lease in effect shall be deemed properly to have
                           been made or taken by a leasehold  mortgagee  if such
                           payment is made or action taken by a nominee or agent
                           of such leasehold mortgagee.

                  10.3   Subordination  and  Attornment.   Landlord   covenants,
represents and agrees that this Lease,  as the same may be modified,  amended or
renewed, shall not be subject or subordinate to any mortgage or mortgages now or
hereafter placed upon, or any other liens or encumbrances  hereafter  affecting,
the fee title of the Demised Premises except as otherwise  expressly provided in
this Section  10.3,  and that  Landlord will promptly and fully pay when due all
indebtedness,  and perform when  required all  obligations,  secured by any such
mortgages  or liens,  and  shall not  commit  or  permit  any  default  to occur
thereunder.  In the event that for any reason whatsoever  Landlord shall fail or
refuse to pay,  satisfy  and  discharge  any lien or  mortgage  encumbering  the
Demised  Premises  not later  than the date the same  becomes  due and  payable,
Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation,  itself to pay, satisfy and
discharge the same, in which event (i) Tenant shall have the right to receive an
assignment  of such  mortgage  (and  the  note  secured  thereby)  and  promptly
thereafter to institute  foreclosure  or other  proceedings  to enforce the same
(and the note secured thereby),  it being agreed that if Tenant so acquires such
mortgage  (and the note  secured  thereby)  the same  shall be  deemed  to be in
default by virtue of  Landlord's  failure to comply with the  provisions of this
Section, which provisions shall be deemed for such purpose to be an agreement of
modification  of such  mortgage  (and the note  secured  thereby);  and (ii) any
amounts  expended  and  expenses  incurred by Tenant in paying,  satisfying  and
discharging  such  mortgage,   and  in  bringing  proceedings  to  foreclose  or
otherwise,  to  enforce  the same,  including,  without  limitation,  reasonable
attorneys'  fees,  to the extent not paid by Landlord to Tenant,  together  with
interest thereon at the rate per annum set forth in Section 3.1.4 hereof,  shall
be deductible by Tenant,  together with interest  thereon at the rate aforesaid,
from the  installments  of Annual Rent  thereafter  falling due  hereunder.  The
rights and  remedies  provided for in  subdivisions  (i) and (ii) above shall be
cumulative  and not  mutually  exclusive.  Tenant  agrees  that upon  request of
Landlord in writing, it will subordinate the lien of this Lease


                                     - 22 -
<PAGE>

to the  lien of any  mortgage  on the  Demised  Premises,  and to all  renewals,
modifications, amendments, consolidations,  replacements and extensions thereof,
provided  that  Tenant  shall be  granted a  subordination  non-disturbance  and
recognition  agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit D attached hereto (a
"Subordination Agreement") from the holder(s) of such mortgage. The receipt of a
Subordination  Agreement  from the  holder(s)  of any  mortgage  on the  Demised
Premises to which this Lease is subordinate  is a condition to the  commencement
of the Lease Term. Further, Tenant, as a part of any Subordination Agreement, if
requested,  shall  agree to attorn to the  holder(s)  of such  mortgage  or to a
purchaser at foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure,  in a manner reasonably
acceptable to the holder(s) of such mortgage and Tenant.  Landlord may not place
any mortgage on the Demised  Premises when the aggregate  annual debt service on
such mortgage and all other  mortgages on the Demised  Premises would exceed 90%
of the Annual Rent which is then in effect or will be in effect  during the term
of such mortgage,  or when the aggregate principal debt secured by said mortgage
and all other  mortgages  on the Demised  Premises  would exceed 80% of the fair
market value of the Demised  Premises.  Landlord shall give Tenant ten (10) days
prior  notice of the  closing of any loan to be  secured  by a  mortgage  on the
Demised Premises.

                  10.3.1   If Tenant shall give Landlord any notice of a default
                           or  breach  by  Landlord,  Tenant  agrees  to  give a
                           similar  written notice to the holder(s) of record of
                           any fee  mortgage(s)  (provided  Tenant has  received
                           written  notice of said  mortgage(s),  including  the
                           name(s) and address(es) of the then holder(s) of such
                           mortgage(s),  in the manner  provided  for in Article
                           XVIII hereof for the giving of notices to Tenant), by
                           registered  or  certified   mail,  to  such  holders'
                           respective  addresses specified in the aforementioned
                           notice to Tenant,  or to any different  address which
                           they may designate for the purpose by notice given to
                           Tenant in the aforesaid  manner;  and such  holder(s)
                           shall be  permitted  to correct or remedy such breach
                           or default within the same time within which Landlord
                           may do so, and with like  effect as if  Landlord  had
                           done so.  Tenant's  failure to give to such holder(s)
                           the  notice  provided  in this  Section  shall not be
                           deemed a default by Tenant  under this Lease,  but no
                           notice  given by Tenant to Landlord of any default or
                           breach by Landlord shall be deemed legally  effective
                           until  Tenant  shall have  given  such  notice to the
                           holder(s)  of the first fee  mortgage  at the time on
                           the Demised  Premises  (provided  Tenant has received
                           notice of said  holder(s) as provided  above).  In no
                           event shall  Tenant be required to give more than one
                           notice, to be sent to one address,  in respect of any
                           one mortgage pursuant to this Section.

                  10.3.2   In the  event  that  any  fee  mortgagee  comes  into
                           possession  or  ownership of the title to the Demised
                           Premises,  or  acquires  the  interest of Landlord by
                           foreclosure of its mortgage) or by proceedings on the
                           bond or debt secured  thereby,  or otherwise,  Tenant
                           agrees  to attorn  to such fee  mortgagee  as its new
                           landlord.

                  10.4 Sale by  Landlord.  Landlord  covenants  that it will not
sell or convey any right, title or interest in the Demised Premises prior to the
first  anniversary  of the  Commencement  Date,  without  Tenant's prior written
consent.  In any event,  any sale or conveyance  of the Demised  Premises or any
part  thereof,  shall be subject to the Option  Agreement and the Right of First
Refusal and shall be made subject to this Lease.

                  10.4.1   In the  event of a sale or  transfer  of the  Demised

                           either  Tenant's  consent has been obtained or is not
                           required,  the grantor or transferor shall thereafter
                           be entirely relieved of all obligations thereafter to
                           be performed by Landlord  under this Lease,  provided
                           that the  purchaser or transferee on any such sale or
                           transfer has assumed and agreed pursuant to a written
                           instrument satisfactory to Tenant to perform, observe
                           and be bound by any and all covenants, conditions and
                           obligations  of  Landlord  hereunder  and  under  the
                           Option  Agreement  and the  Right  of  First  Refusal
                           arising  from and after such sale or transfer  and to
                           be subject to all of the rights of Tenant  under this
                           Lease and the Option Agreement and the Right of First
                           Refusal  whether  arising prior to or after such sale
                           or transfer,  including without limitation all setoff
                           rights, and provided further that (i) any amount then
                           due and  payable to Tenant or for which  Landlord  or
                           the then grantor or transferor  would  otherwise then
                           be liable to Tenant shall be paid to Tenant; (ii) the
                           interest  of the grantor or  transferor  in any funds
                           then in the hands of Landlord or the then  grantor or
                           transferor  in which Tenant has an interest  shall be
                           turned  over,  subject to Tenant's  interest,  to the
                           then grantee or transferee;  and (iii) notice of such
                           sale or  transfer  signed  by  Landlord  or the  then
                           grantor  or  transferor  and by the then  grantee  or
                           transferee shall be delivered to Tenant together with
                           a true copy of the transfer  document and a true copy
                           of the written assumption agreement.

                  10.5 Estoppel  Certificates.  Tenant, upon request by Landlord
or any  prospective  or actual  mortgagee or purchaser  of the  Facility,  shall
execute  and  deliver to  Landlord  within ten (10)  business  days,  after such
request,  an estoppel  certificate  addressed to  Landlord,  and if requested by
Landlord  also to such  mortgagee or purchaser as is  identified  in  Landlord's
request,  which  estoppel  certificate  shall  state,  to the extent  true,  the
following facts: (a) that a Lease, as attached to the estoppel certificate, is a
true and  correct  copy of this Lease and that this Lease has not been  modified
except as set forth in such  attachment or terminated;  (b) that the Annual Rent
in this  Lease as so  modified  has not been  modified;  (c) that  there  are no
outside agreements that would affect such mortgagee or purchaser or any of their
rights under this Lease or to the Demised  Premises except as otherwise noted in
the estoppel  certificate;  (d) that to Tenant's knowledge there are no disputes
existing as to this Lease; (e) that to Tenant's  knowledge Landlord has complied
with the  terms  of this  Lease  (as so  amended)  to the  date of the  estoppel
certificate and is not in default under any of its obligations contained in this
Lease  (as so  amended)  (or if such  is not the  case,  specifying  the  nature
thereof) and Landlord has not given Tenant  notice of any default  which remains
uncured (or if such is not the case, specifying the nature thereof); (f) that no
Annual Rent has been paid more than thirty (30) days in advance; (g) that Tenant
has


                                     - 24 -
<PAGE>

accepted possession of the Demised Premises;  (h) the dates through which Annual
Rent has been paid; and (i) any other terms  reasonably  acceptable to Tenant or
reasonably  required  by any  actual  or  prospective  mortgagee  or  purchaser.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be obligated to furnish any such
estoppel  certificate more often than two times during any Lease Year unless the
request for the same is being made in contemplation of the sale or mortgaging of
the Demised Premises and the prospective purchaser or mortgagee is requiring the
same.


                                   ARTICLE XI
                                     DEFAULT
                                     -------

                  11.1 Default by Tenant.  The  occurrence of any one or more of
the following  events shall constitute a "default" or "Event of Default" for the
purposes of this Lease:

                           (a) The  failure  of  Tenant  to pay  any  part of an
Annual  Rent  payment  due under  this  Lease on or before  its due date,  which
failure  continues  for ten (10) days after the  receipt of written  notice from
Landlord.

                           (b) Any  assignment,  transfer  or  sublease  of this
Lease or the Demised Premises in violation of Article X hereof.

                           (c) The failure to occupy the Demised Premises on the
Commencement Date or the abandonment of the Demised Premises by Tenant.

                           (d) The  failure  of Tenant to perform  any  material
covenant or obligation  contained  herein other than the payment of Annual Rent,
which failure has not been corrected by Tenant within thirty (30) days following
written  notice  from  Landlord  specifying  the  covenant or  obligation  to be
remedied,  or if the correction of same  reasonably  requires longer than thirty
(30) days,  if Tenant  shall not have  commenced to correct the same within such
thirty  (30) day period and  thereafter  proceed to cure the same in good faith,
with diligence, and within a reasonable period of time.

                           (e) If any  representation or warranty made by Tenant
under this Lease shall  prove to have been false in any  material  respect  when
made and the same has not been  corrected  by  Tenant  within  thirty  (30) days
following written notice from Landlord specifying the representation or warranty
in question, or if the correction of same reasonably requires longer than thirty
(30) days,  if Tenant  shall not have  commenced to correct the same within such
thirty (30) day period and thereafter be proceeding with reasonable diligence to
correct the same.

                  11.2 Landlord's Rights and Remedies. Upon the happening of any
Event of Default and during the continuance  thereof,  Landlord,  at its option,
and  without  further  demand or  notice,  shall have the  following  rights and
remedies  in  addition  to any rights  provided  by law,  all of which  shall be
cumulative:



                                     - 25 -
<PAGE>
                           (a) Perform any covenant or  obligation of Tenant and
charge the reasonable  cost of the cure to the next  installment or installments
of Annual Rent due.

                           (b) Retake possession of the Demised Premises without
terminating  this Lease and relet the Demised  Premises or any part thereof to a
third party. If Landlord relets the Demised  Premises (either for a term greater
than,  less than or equal to the  unexpired  portion  of the Lease  Term) for an
aggregate  rent  during the  portion of such new lease which is less than Annual
Rent and other  charges  which  Tenant  would  pay  hereunder  for such  period,
Landlord may immediately  upon the making of such new lease, sue for and recover
the difference  between the aggregate  rental provided for in said new lease for
the balance of the term  coextensive  with the Lease  Term,  and the Annual Rent
which Tenant would pay hereunder for such period,  together with any  reasonable
expenses to which  Landlord may be put for  brokerage  commissions,  placing the
Demised Premises in tenantable condition,  and other related charges or expenses
accrued  prior to the new lease or  otherwise.  In the event  Landlord  does not
collect  the entire  amount of the  aggregate  rental  provided  for in such new
lease,  Landlord  may sue for and recover the  difference  between the amount of
such aggregate rental actually  collected and the Annual Rent which Tenant would
pay hereunder.  If such new lease or tenancy is made for a shorter term than the
balance of the Lease Term, or for a greater  rental,  any such action brought by
Landlord to collect the deficit  for that  period  shall not bar  Landlord  from
thereafter suing for any loss accruing during the balance of the unexpired Lease
Term whether or not due to expiration or termination of the new lease.

                           (c) Give a thirty (30) day's notice of termination of
this Lease  (regardless  of whether  Landlord prior to the giving of such notice
shall have accepted rent or any other payment,  however designated,  for the use
and  occupancy of the Demised  Premises  from or on behalf of Tenant or from any
other person) to Tenant  specifying  such Event or Events of Default and stating
that this  Lease and the Lease  Term  shall  expire  and  terminate  on the date
specified in such  notice,  which date shall be at least ten (10) days after the
giving of such  notice.  In the event such  notice is given,  this Lease and the
Lease Term and all rights of Tenant under this Lease shall expire and  terminate
upon the date  specified  in such  notice  with the same  effect  as if the date
specified  in such notice were the date  originally  set forth in this Lease for
the expiration of the term, but Tenant shall remain liable as provided below.

                           Upon  any  such  expiration  or  termination  of this
Lease,  Tenant  shall quit and  peacefully  surrender  the  Demised  Premises to
Landlord,  and  Landlord,  upon or at any  time  after  any such  expiration  or
termination,  may,  without further notice,  enter upon and re-enter the Demised
Premises  and possess and  repossess  itself  thereof,  by summary  proceedings,
ejectment or  otherwise,  and may  dispossess  Tenant and remove  Tenant and all
other  persons and property  from the Demised  Premises  and may have,  hold and
enjoy the Demised  Premises  and the right to receive  all rental  income of and
from the same.

                           No such  expiration  or  termination  of this  Lease,
including the re-entry of Landlord,  shall  relieve  Tenant of its liability and
obligations to pay the Annual Rent theretofore  accrued or thereafter  accruing,
as more  particularly  set forth in paragraph (g) below,  and such liability and
obligations shall survive any such expiration or termination.

<PAGE>
                           (d) Tenant  knowingly and voluntarily  waives any and
all rights of redemption which Tenant may now have or hereafter acquire pursuant
to statute or court decision, except for notice as provided in this Article.

                           (e) The rights and remedies given to Landlord in this
Lease are distinct,  separate and cumulative, and no one of them, whether or not
exercised by  Landlord,  shall be deemed to be in exclusion of any of the others
herein or by law or in equity  provided  and the exercise by Landlord of any one
or more of the rights or remedies  provided for in this Lease shall not preclude
the  simultaneous  or later  exercise by Landlord of any or all other  rights or
remedies.

                           (f) No receipt  of monies by  Landlord  from  Tenant,
after the cancellation or termination of this Lease in any lawful manner,  shall
reinstate,  continue or extend the Lease Term, or affect any notice  theretofore
given to Tenant or operate as a waiver of the right of  Landlord  to enforce the
payment  of Annual  Rent then due or  thereafter  falling  due,  or operate as a
waiver of the right of Landlord to recover possession of the Demised Premises by
proper suit, action, proceeding or other remedy; it being agreed that, after the
service of notice to cancel or terminate as herein  provided and the  expiration
of the time  therein  specified,  after the  commencement  of any suit,  action,
proceeding or other remedy or after a final order or judgment for  possession of
the Demised Premises,  Landlord may demand,  receive and collect any monies due,
or thereafter  falling due, without in any manner  affecting such notice,  suit,
action, proceeding,  order or judgment; and any and all such monies so collected
shall be deemed to be  payments  on  account  of the use and  occupation  of the
Demised  Premises,  or at the  election  of  Landlord,  on account  of  Tenant's
liability hereunder.

                           (g) In the event of the  termination of this Lease as
provided in this Article or by  operation of law or issuance of a  dispossessory
warrant  or  otherwise,  Tenant  shall  remain  liable  under this Lease for the
payment of Annual Rent and the observance and performance of all other covenants
on its part to be performed;  and Landlord shall have the right to alter, change
or remodel  the  improvements  on the Demised  Premises  and to lease or let the
same, or portions thereof,  or not to lease or let the same, for such periods of
time and at such rentals and for such use and upon such covenants and conditions
as Landlord may elect,  applying the net rentals or avails of such  letting,  if
any, first to the payment of Landlord's expenses in dispossessing Tenant and the
costs or expenses of making such  improvements in the Demised Premises as may be
necessary in order to enable Landlord to relet the same, and then to the payment
of any brokerage  commissions or other  expenses of Landlord in connection  with
such reletting;  and the balance,  if any, shall be applied by Landlord at least
once a month, on account of the payments due or payable by Tenant hereunder,  if
any,  with  the  right   reserved  to  Landlord  to  bring  such   action(s)  or
proceeding(s)  for the recovery of any deficits  remaining  unpaid without being
obliged to await the end of the Lease Term for a final determination of Tenant's
account,  and the  commencement  or maintenance of any one or more actions shall
not bar Landlord from bringing other or subsequent  actions for further accruals
pursuant to the  provisions of this  Section.  Any balance  remaining,  however,
after full payment and  liquidation of Landlord's  accounts for the remainder of
the Lease Term as aforesaid,  shall be paid to Tenant with the right reserved to
Landlord at any time, if it has not  theretofore  terminated this Lease, to give
notice to Tenant of  Landlord's  election to cancel this Lease and discharge all
the obligations thereunder of either party


                                     - 27 -
<PAGE>
to the other,  and the giving of such  notice  and the  simultaneous  payment by
Landlord to Tenant of any credit balance in Tenant's favor that may at such time
be owing, shall constitute a final and effective  cancellation of this Lease and
a discharge of the obligations thereof on the part of either party to the other.
Tenant agrees to pay, in addition to the rent and other sums required to be paid
hereunder,  such  additional  sums  as  the  court  may  adjudge  reasonable  as
attorneys'  fees in any  successful  suit or action  instituted  by  Landlord to
enforce  the  provisions  of this Lease or the  collections  of the  amounts due
Landlord  hereunder.  Should any rent collected by Landlord be  insufficient  to
fully pay to Landlord a sum equal to all Annual Rent  reserved  herein and other
charges  payable  hereunder  for the  remainder  of the  Lease  Term  originally
demised,  the  balance  or  deficiency  shall be paid by Tenant on the rent days
herein  specified,  that is,  upon each of such rent  days  Tenant  shall pay to
Landlord the amount of the  deficiency  then  existing;  and Tenant shall be and
remain liable for any such deficiency, and the right of Landlord to recover from
Tenant the amount thereof, or a sum equal to all such Annual Rent and Additional
Rent and other charges payable hereunder, if there shall be no reletting,  shall
survive  the  issuance of any  dispossessory  warrant or other  cancellation  or
termination  hereof,  and Landlord shall be entitled to retain any surplus;  and
Tenant hereby  expressly  waives any defense that might be  predicated  upon the
issuance of such  dispossessory  warrant or other  cancellation  or  termination
hereof.

                           (h)  In  any  of  the   circumstances   mentioned  in
paragraph  (g) of this  Section in which  Landlord  shall have the right to hold
Tenant  liable upon the several rent days as therein  provided,  Landlord  shall
have the right to  election,  in place and instead of holding  Tenant so liable,
forthwith to recover  against  Tenant as damages for loss of the bargain and not
as a penalty,  in addition to any other  damages  becoming due, an aggregate sum
which,  at the  time of the  termination  of this  Lease or of the  recovery  of
possession of the Demised Premises by Landlord,  as the case may be,  represents
the then present worth of the excess (computed by discounting such excess at the
simple rate of six (6%) percent per annum),  if any, of the  aggregate of Annual
Rent and all other charges  payable by Tenant  hereunder that would have accrued
for the balance of the Lease Term over the aggregate rental value of the Demised
Premises  (such rental value to be computed on the basis of a tenant  paying not
only a rent to Landlord for the use and occupation of the Demised Premises,  but
also such additional rent and other charges as are required to be paid by Tenant
under the terms of this Lease) for the balance of such Lease Term.

                           (i) Suit or suits for the recovery of the  deficiency
or damages  referred to above in paragraphs (g) and (h) of this Section,  or for
any installment or installments of Annual Rent hereunder,  or for a sum equal to
any such  installment or installments  may be brought by Landlord,  from time to
time at Landlord's election, and nothing in this Lease contained shall be deemed
to require Landlord to await the date whereon this Lease or the Lease Term would
have expired by  limitation  had there been no such default by Tenant or no such
cancellation or termination.

                           (j)  Landlord's  failure  to  insist  on  the  strict
performance  of and  compliance  with each condition in this Lease shall neither
constitute  nor be construed as  constituting a waiver by Landlord of Landlord's
rights  under  this  Article  or by law,  nor  constitute  nor be  construed  as
consisting of a waiver by Landlord of a second or  subsequent  default by Tenant
of the same  condition.  In the event  litigation is commenced,  it shall not be
necessary for


                                     - 28 -

<PAGE>
Landlord to notify  Tenant of any  additional  occurrences  of default  prior to
proceeding as permitted.

                           (k) In the event of the  termination or expiration of
this  Lease,  Tenant  shall  cooperate  with  Landlord  in the  transfer  to the
subsequent  operator of the  Facility of all  licenses  and permits  required to
continue to operate the  Facility  as an assisted  living  facility or a nursing
care  facility,  whichever  was being  operated at the Facility by Tenant at the
time of such termination or expiration.

                  11.3  Default  by  Landlord.   If  Landlord  defaults  in  the
observance or performance of any covenant, condition or obligation in this Lease
on its part to be observed or  performed,  Landlord  shall have thirty (30) days
after receiving written notice from Tenant stating the default complained of and
referring to the Article and Section in this Lease relied on by Tenant,  to cure
or cause to be cured any such  default,  or if such  default  is not  capable of
being  cured  within  such  thirty (30) days to commence to cure the same during
such  thirty  (30) days and  thereafter  proceed to cure the same in good faith,
with diligence, and within a reasonable period of time.

                  If Landlord  fails to cure any such  default or to  diligently
and  in  good  faith  pursue  the  cure  as  provided  for  herein,  or  if  any
representation  or warranty made by or on behalf of Landlord in this Lease or in
any  document  or  agreement  delivered  in  connection  with  the  transactions
contemplated  by this  Lease  shall  prove to have been  false or  incorrect  or
breached in any material  respect on the date as of which made,  then Tenant may
sue Landlord for its damages,  including,  without  limitation,  such additional
sums as the court may adjudge  reasonable as attorneys'  fees in any  successful
suit or action instituted by Tenant to enforce the provisions of this Lease, and
may further obtain injunctive  relief if necessary to maintain  operation of the
Demised   Premises  or  comply  with  applicable   legal   requirements  of  any
governmental authority.  In addition,  Tenant may at its option, without waiving
any claim for damages for breach of agreement,  at any time thereafter cure such
default for the  account of  Landlord,  and any amount  paid or any  contractual
liability  incurred by Tenant in so doing  shall be deemed paid or incurred  for
the account of Landlord,  and Landlord  agrees to reimburse  Tenant  therefor or
save Tenant harmless  therefrom;  provided that Tenant may cure any such default
as  aforesaid  prior  to the  expiration  of said  thirty  (30)  day  period  if
reasonably  necessary to cure a default under any mortgage or encumbrance  which
is a lien on the  Demised  Premises,  or to  protect  the  Demised  Premises  or
Tenant's  interest  therein,  or to  prevent  injury  or damage  to  persons  or
property,  or to enable Tenant to conduct its business in the Demised  Premises.
If Landlord  shall fail to reimburse  Tenant upon demand for any amount paid for
the  account  of  Landlord  hereunder  or for any  other sum  payable  to Tenant
pursuant to this Lease,  said amount plus interest thereon at the rate per annum
set forth in Section  3.1.4  hereof  from the date of demand upon  Landlord  for
payment,  may be deducted by Tenant from the next or any succeeding  payments of
Annual Rent due hereunder.

                  11.4 Delays.  Whenever this Lease requires any act (other than
the  payment  of a  liquidated  sum of  money,  e.g.,  rental  payments,  taxes,
utilities,  or  any  obligation  that  may be  satisfied  by  the  payment  of a
liquidated sum of money) by Landlord or Tenant within a certain


                                     - 29 -
<PAGE>
period of time or by a certain time,  the time for the  performance  of such act
shall be extended by the period of any delay caused by war,  strikes,  lockouts,
civil commotion,  storms, weather, electrical blackouts,  unpreventable material
shortages,  casualties,  acts of God or other  conditions  or events  beyond the
reasonable  control of the  obligated  party;  provided,  however,  that written
notice of such delay and the cause and  circumstances  thereof shall be given to
the other party  promptly  after the  commencement  of such delay and such delay
becoming known by the obligated party.


                                   ARTICLE XII
                           DAMAGE TO DEMISED PREMISES
                           --------------------------

                  12.1 Major Damage.  In the event that the Demised Premises are
damaged by fire or other casualty,  and the damage or loss exceeds $50,000, then
Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord in writing of such an event. If the damage
is to an extent that there is Major Damage, as hereinafter  defined, it shall be
the option of Tenant to cancel this Lease by written  notice to Landlord  within
sixty (60) days from the date of such Major Damage.

                  The term "Major Damage" shall mean any damage wherein: (a) the
estimated cost of fully  repairing the damage exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the
then full replacement  value or (b) 25% or more of the improvements are rendered
unsuitable  for  occupancy  or (c) the damage is caused by an event which is not
covered by the  insurance  policy which Tenant is required to carry  pursuant to
Article XV hereof,  and the estimated cost of fully repairing the damage exceeds
the net amount of insurance  proceeds received by Tenant with respect thereto by
$50,000 or more.  Annual Rent shall abate in  accordance  with  Section  12.2 if
Tenant is unable to use all or any part of the Demised  Premises  while  repairs
are being made;  provided,  however,  that any  abatement  so granted  shall not
exceed the amount of the proceeds actually received by Landlord under any policy
of rent insurance carried for the benefit of Landlord.

                  If Tenant  elects to  terminate  this Lease  pursuant  to this
Section  12.1,  this Lease shall  terminate  fifteen (15) days after the date of
notice,  Tenant shall surrender  possession to Landlord,  and all accrued rights
under this Lease shall survive termination.

                  12.2  Nonmajor  Damage.  Any other damage to the Facility from
any casualty or risk which does not qualify as Major Damage,  shall be deemed to
be nonmajor.  If Tenant does not elect to  terminate  this Lease under the Major
Damage  provision in Section  12.1,  or if the damage is  nonmajor,  then Tenant
shall,  at its sole  cost  and  expense,  repair  or  rebuild  the  Facility  to
substantially the same condition as existed  immediately prior to the damage, in
accordance with applicable federal,  state and local statutes,  laws, ordinances
and codes and sufficient to meet licensure  requirements  of the State of Kansas
for assisted living  facilities or nursing care  facilities,  as the case may be
according to the actual use by Tenant. The restoration shall be commenced within
ninety  (90) days  after  settlement  shall  have  been made with the  insurance
companies and the insurance  monies shall have been turned over to the Insurance
Trustee (as hereinafter  defined) or Tenant,  as the case may be, as provided in
Article XV hereof and the necessary governmental


                                     - 30 -
<PAGE>

approvals shall have been obtained, and such work shall be completed as promptly
as reasonably possible. Tenant shall also restore any damaged Leased Equipment.

                  The Insurance Trustee shall, provided this Lease shall then be
in full force and effect, apply the net proceeds of any insurance to the payment
of the cost of such repairing or rebuilding as the same progresses,  payments to
be made against properly certified  vouchers of a competent  architect in charge
of the work who is selected by Tenant and approved by Landlord,  which  approval
shall not be  unreasonably  withheld or delayed.  The  Insurance  Trustee  shall
advance out of such insurance proceeds toward each payment,  to be made by or on
behalf of Tenant, an amount which shall bear the same proportion to such payment
as the whole amount  received by the  Insurance  Trustee shall bear to the total
estimated  cost  of the  repairing  or  rebuilding  except,  however,  that  the
Insurance  Trustee  shall  withhold  from  each  amount  so to be paid by it ten
percent (10%) thereof until the work of repairing or rebuilding  shall have been
substantially  completed,  and proof furnished that no lien has attached or will
attach to the Demised Premises in connection with such repairs or rebuilding. If
the total estimated cost of the repairs or rebuilding shall exceed the amount of
the net  proceeds of such  insurance  received  by the  Insurance  Trustee,  the
Insurance  Trustee  shall be  entitled  to require of Tenant  that,  before such
repairing or  rebuilding be  commenced,  the  Insurance  Trustee be secured by a
surety  bond or cash equal to the amount of the  excess of such  estimated  cost
over the net  insurance  proceeds as security for the due  completion,  within a
reasonable  time,  of such  repairs or  rebuilding;  and if Tenant  makes a cash
deposit as  aforesaid,  such cash deposit  shall be deemed to be part of the net
insurance  proceeds for the purpose of this paragraph.  The contract price fixed
in  Tenant's  contract  with the  contractor  who or  which  will  perform  such
repairing or rebuilding  shall be deemed to be the total  estimated cost of such
repairs or  rebuilding  for the  purposes of this  paragraph.  If the  insurance
proceeds  shall  exceed the cost of such  repairs  or  rebuilding,  the  balance
remaining after payment of the cost of such repairs or rebuilding  shall be paid
over and belong to Tenant.

                  In the  event  Tenant  is unable to use all or any part of the
Facility while Tenant  repairs or rebuilds  same,  then the Annual Rent shall be
reduced and abated by a just,  fair and equitable  proportion of the Annual Rent
payable  according  to the  size,  nature  and  extent of the  property  that is
damaged,  taking into account the practical and economic effect of the damage in
question on the operation of the Demised Premises; provided, however, that there
shall be no such abatement in the event Tenant has not  maintained  insurance in
accordance with the provisions of Section 15.3. The abatement of the Annual Rent
shall  commence  with the date of the damage and continue  until the repairs are
substantially completed.  Other obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall not
abate in any manner.

                    LANDLORD'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
                    -----------------------------------------

         Landlord and Jack West each hereby represents and warrants to Tenant as
follows:

                  13.1  Organization  and  Standing of  Landlord.  Landlord is a
limited liability company duly organized,  validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the State of Kansas.  Copies of its articles of  organization,
operating  agreement  and all  amendments  thereto  to date  (collectively,  the
"Organizational  Documents")  have  been  delivered  to  Tenant,  and are  true,
complete and correct.  Landlord has the power and  authority to own the property
and assets now owned by it and to conduct the business presently being conducted
by it and as currently proposed to be conducted.

                  13.2   Authority.   Landlord   has  the  full,   absolute  and

this  Lease,  including  all  Schedules  and  Exhibits  hereto,  and  the  other
instruments  and  documents   required  or   contemplated   hereby  and  thereby

consummation  have been duly  authorized by all necessary  action  (partnership,
corporate, limited liability company, trust or otherwise, as the case may be) on
the part of Landlord,  its managing member (as hereinafter defined) and members,
and all consents of holders of indebtedness of Landlord have been obtained.

                  13.3 Binding Effect.  This Lease constitutes the legal,  valid
and binding obligation of Landlord,  enforceable  against Landlord in accordance
with its terms and each of Landlord's Transaction Documents executed by Landlord
constitute  the legal,  valid and binding  obligation  of Landlord,  enforceable

                  13.4 Absence of Conflicting Agreements.  None of the execution
or  delivery  of  this  Lease  or any of  Landlord  Transaction  Documents,  the
performance  by Landlord  of its  obligations  hereunder  or  thereunder  or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, conflicts with,
or  constitutes  a breach of or a default  under (i)  Landlord's  Organizational
Documents; or (ii) any applicable law, rule, judgment,  order, writ, injunction,
or decree of any court  currently  in effect;  or (iii) any  applicable  rule or
regulation  of  any  administrative  agency  or  other  governmental   authority
currently in effect;  or (iv) except as set forth on Schedule  13.4, any written
or oral  agreement,  indenture,  contract or instrument to which Landlord or any
managing  member  thereof is now a party or by which any of them or the  Demised
Premises or Other Assets are bound.  Said  Schedule 13.4 shall be updated to the

necessary in connection with Landlord's  execution,  delivery and performance of
this Lease or any of Landlord Transaction Documents,  or for the consummation of
the transactions

contemplated  hereby or  thereby.  Said  Schedule  13.5  shall be updated to the
extent necessary on and as of the day preceding the Commencement Date.

                  13.6     Contracts.

                           (a)  Schedule  13.6 sets forth a complete and correct
list of all  agreements,  contracts and  commitments,  whether  written or oral,
relating to the Facility, its operation or the Other Assets by which Landlord or
the  Demised  Premises  is bound (the  "Contracts").  Landlord is not in default
under any Contract,  except any such default that, either individually or in the
aggregate,  would not have a Material  Adverse Effect (as hereinafter  defined),
and  there  has not been  asserted,  either  by or  against  Landlord  under any
Contract, any notice of default,  set-off or claim of default which has not been
cured. To the best knowledge of Landlord,  after due inquiry,  none of the other
parties to the Contracts are  affiliated  with Landlord or are in default of any
of their respective obligations under the Contracts,  and there has not occurred
any event which with the passage of time or the giving of notice (or both) would
constitute  a default  or breach  under any  Contract.  All  amounts  payable by
Landlord  under the  Contracts  are, or will at the  Commencement  Date, be on a
current  basis.  Except  as set  forth  on  Schedule  13.6,  the  Contracts  are
assignable to Tenant  without the consent of the remaining  parties  thereto and
each of the Contracts can be terminated  without  penalty by Landlord upon sixty
(60) or less days  notice.  Said  Schedule  13.6  shall be updated to the extent
necessary on and as of the day preceding the Commencement Date.

                           (b) Except as listed on  Schedule  13.6,  Landlord is
not a party to or liable in  connection  with and has not granted any written or
express, oral or implied:

stock, merger or otherwise) or any part of the Demised Premises;

                                    (iv)  contract,   agreement  or  arrangement
currently  in  effect  which  contains  any  provisions  requiring  Landlord  to

consideration of more than $10,000; or

                                    (viii)  agreement  not made in the  ordinary
and normal course of business of the Facility  which involves  consideration  of

that is  specifically  identified  thereon)  applied on a basis  consistent with
prior periods.

                  13.8  Material  Changes.  Except as listed on  Schedule  13.8,
since December 31, 1995,  there has not been any material  adverse change in the
condition (financial or otherwise),  of the assets,  properties or operations of
the Demised  Premises,  or any damage or destruction of the Demised  Premises by
fire or other  casualty,  whether or not covered by insurance,  and Landlord has
operated the Demised Premises only in the ordinary course of business.  Landlord
has identified and communicated to Tenant all material  information with respect
to any fact or  condition  that  might  have a  Material  Adverse  Effect.  Said
Schedule  13.8 shall be updated  to the  extent  necessary  on and as of the day
preceding the Commencement Date.

                  13.9 Licenses; Permits. Schedule 13.9 sets forth a description
of each  license  and all other  governmental  or other  regulatory  permits and
approvals relating to the operation of the Demised Premises  heretofore obtained

constitute   all  of  the  licenses,   permits,   easements,   rights  or  other
authorizations  of any Governmental  Body or any other Person that are necessary
for the current  operation of the Demised  Premises.  Each License is final (the
effectiveness  of each not being  subject to the  satisfaction  of any condition
precedent),  not subject to lapse,  termination,  revocation or  expiration  for
failure to meet any conditions or requirements or otherwise,  including  without
limitation  the  delivery  of an  unqualified  certificate  of need  or  similar
certificate  or document.  Landlord has delivered to Tenant copies of all of the
Licenses.  Landlord owns,  possesses or has the legal right to use the Licenses,
free and clear of all liens, pledges, claims or other encumbrances of any nature
whatsoever.  Except as disclosed on Schedule 13.9, Landlord has not received any
notice of any claim or default or any other claim or proceeding  relating to any
such  License  which  has  not  been  cured  or any  notice  of  any  threatened
termination, lapse or revocation


                                     - 34 -

of any  License.  Landlord is not in default  under any License  except any such
default that, either individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material
Adverse Effect.  The Demised  Premises are fully and completely  licensed by all
appropriate  authorities  for  Landlord  to  carry  on  the  business  presently
conducted  at the Demised  Premises.  No managing  member,  member,  employee or
former employee of Landlord,  or immediate  family member of any managing member
or member, of Landlord, or any other person, firm or corporation owns or has any
proprietary,  financial or other  interest,  direct or indirect,  in whole or in
part in any  such  License  owned,  possessed  or used in the  operation  of the
Demised  Premises as now  operated.  Said  Schedule 13.9 shall be updated to the
extent necessary on and as of the day preceding the Commencement Date.

                  13.10    Title, Condition of Personal Property.

                           (a)  Except  for the  security  interests  listed and
described  on Schedule  13.10(a),  Landlord  has good title to all of the Leased
Equipment,  subject to no mortgage, security interest, pledge, lien, conditional
sales agreement, lease, claim, encumbrance, easement, title exception or charge,
or restraint on transfer whatsoever (collectively,  "Lien"). No other person has
any right to the use or possession of any of the Leased Equipment and, except as
set forth on Schedule 13.10(a),  no currently effective financing statement with
respect to the Leased Equipment has been filed in any jurisdiction, and Landlord
has  not  signed  any  such  financing   statement  or  any  security  agreement
authorizing any secured party  thereunder to file any such financing  statement.
During  the  five (5) year  period  preceding  the  date  hereof,  Landlord  has
conducted its business  activities  only under the  corporate  and/or trade name
"The Homestead at Garden City." All of the Leased Equipment is in good operating
condition  and repair and is  functioning  in the manner and for the purpose for
which it was intended and, to the best knowledge of Landlord, after due inquiry,
is in  compliance  with (and the operation  thereof is in  compliance  with) all
applicable  federal,  state  and  local  laws,  rules  and  regulations,  and is
sufficient  and suitable to enable  Tenant to operate the Demised  Premises in a
normal and  efficient  manner.  Said Schedule  13.10(a)  shall be updated to the
extent necessary on and as of the day preceding the Commencement Date.

                           (b) Except as set forth on Schedule 13.10(b), none of
the property  used by Landlord in  connection  with the operation of the Demised
Premises  is  subject  to a  conditional  sale,  security  interest  or  similar
arrangement.  Schedule 13.10(b) sets forth a complete and correct description of
each of the  Personal  Property  Leases  relating to the Demised  Premises as to
which  Landlord  is a party  (together  with  all  modifications  or  amendments
thereto),  the  annual  rental and  unexpired  lease  term  thereby  and all the
information set forth thereon is complete,  correct and accurate.  True, correct
and complete copies of each of said Personal  Property Leases (together with all
modifications or amendments  thereto) have been delivered to Tenant. All of said
Personal  Property Leases are valid,  binding and enforceable in accordance with
their  respective  terms and are in full force and  effect.  Landlord  is not in
default under any such lease, the consequences of which, either in an individual
case or in the aggregate,  would have a Material  Adverse Effect,  and there has
not been  asserted,  either by or against  Landlord  under any such  lease,  any
notice of  default,  set-off,  or claim of  default.  The parties to such leases
other than Landlord are not in default of their respective obligations under any
such lease, and there has not occurred any event


                                     - 35 -
<PAGE>

which with the  passage of time or giving of notice (or both)  would  constitute
such a default or breach under any such lease.  Except as otherwise set forth on
Schedule 13.10(b), each of said Personal Property Leases is assignable to Tenant
without the consent of the lessor of such property. Said Schedule 13.10(b) shall
be  updated  to  the  extent  necessary  on  and as of  the  day  preceding  the
Commencement Date.

                  13.11    Title, Condition of the Demised Premises.

preceding the Commencement Date.

                           (b)  There  are no  leases  or  other  agreements  of
Landlord,  as lessor,  granting  any third  party the right to use or occupy any
part of the Demised Premises (except the rights of the residents and patients of

ownership  interest or option or right of first refusal to acquire any ownership
interest in the Demised Premises or any building or improvements thereon.

                           (c) All buildings and other  improvements  comprising
the Demised  Premises  (including all roads,  parking areas,  curbs,  sidewalks,

applicable  requirements of all  governmental  authorities  having  jurisdiction
thereof.  Such  permanent  certificates  of  occupancy  and all other  licenses,
permits,  authorizations and approvals required by all governmental  authorities
having  jurisdiction  and the  requisite  annual  fire  safety  and life  safety
inspections  as were  required to be issued or conducted  for the  buildings and
other improvements  comprising the Demised Premises,  have been issued, paid for

comprising  the  Demised  Premises  comply  with and do not  violate any zoning,
building or similar law,  ordinance,  order or regulation or any  certificate of

to comply with or  violation  of any federal,  state,  county or municipal  law,
ordinance, order, regulation or requirement affecting the Demised Premises shall
have  been  issued  by any  governmental  authority  or  agency.  To the best of
Landlord's  knowledge,  there have been no changes to  building,  health or fire
codes that would be applicable to the Demised Premises; no written notice of any
changes  to such  building,  health  or  fire  codes  have  been  issued  by any
governmental authority or agency; and there has been no change in the use of the
Demised  Premises that would have caused any  modifications to have been made to
the Demised Premises pursuant to any such building, health or fire codes.

                           (e) To the best of Landlord's knowledge,  there is no
plan, study or effort by any  governmental  authority or agency which in any way

contemplated  eminent domain  proceedings that would affect the Demised Premises
in any way  whatsoever.  Said Schedule  13.11(e)  shall be updated to the extent
necessary on and as of the day preceding the  Commencement  Date. No subdivision
plan or  plans  (preliminary  or  otherwise)  have  been,  or will be  filed  by
Landlord,  with respect to the Demised  Premises.  The Demised  Premises are not
located in areas designated by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development or
any other governmental  authority or agency as having special flood or mud slide
hazards.

                           (f) The buildings and other  improvements  comprising

heating,  ventilation and air condition systems,  and the plumbing,  electrical,
mechanical  and  drainage  systems,  and roof are in good  operating  condition,
repair and working order,  and have passed all previous safety and/or  licensing
inspections,  and such systems are adequate and sufficient for use in connection
with an assisted living facility, ordinary wear and tear expected.

                           (g) There is no proceeding  pending to which Landlord
is a party  relating  to the  assessed  valuation  of any portion of the Demised
Premises and, except as set forth on Schedule 13.11(e), no assessment for public

                           (h) All public  utilities  required for the operation
of the Demised  Premises  either enter the Demised  Premises  through  adjoining

to the Demised Premises which are not disclosed on any schedule to this Lease or

after due inquiry,  threatened or  contemplated,  and, to the best  knowledge of
Landlord,  after due inquiry,  there is no basis therefor,  against or affecting
the Demised  Premises or Landlord's  rights therein or ability to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby, at law or in equity or otherwise, before or by
any court or  governmental  agency or body,  domestic or  foreign,  or before an
arbitrator of any kind.  Landlord has not received any requests for  information

                  During the two (2) years prior to the Commencement Date, there
has been no material adverse change in the relationship between Landlord and its
employees  nor any  strike  or labor  disturbance  by such  employees  affecting

achieve such representation of all or some of Landlord's employees. There are no

any Person,  mean any  corporation  in which the holders of more than 50% of the

general policyholder rating of not less than "B+".

responsibility for injury or death to persons and damage to property (damages to
the Demised Premises being waived to the extent of insurance proceeds paid to or
on behalf of Landlord) arising out of or in any way connected with or related to

(including reasonable attorney's fees) arise out of Tenants' negligence, willful
misconduct  or breach of this Lease.  Landlord  and Jack West shall at all times
jointly and severally defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Tenant Indemnified
Parties  from and  against  any and all claims,  losses,  liabilities,  actions,
proceedings and expenses (including  reasonable  attorneys' fees) arising out of
any  inaccuracy  in any  representation  or breach of any  warranty set forth in
Article  XIII hereof.  The  provisions  of this  Section 15.5 shall  survive the
termination or expiration of this Lease.

                  15.6 Fire,  Extended Coverage and Additional Perils Insurance.
Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall cause to be issued and kept in force
during the Lease Term, a policy or policies of fire,  extended  coverage and all
risks  insurance by which Landlord and Tenant shall be insured  against loss and
damage by fire, lightning,  windstorm, hail and sprinkler damage, resulting from
damage to or destruction of the  improvements,  including  equipment,  fixtures,
furnishings  and other  personal  property used in  connection  with the Demised
Premises  and the  Leased  Equipment,  if any,  for its full  replacement  value
(exclusive  of Land),  less cost of  excavation,  foundation  and  footings,  by
policies  containing  an agreed  amount  endorsement,  demolition  coverage (XCU
coverage) and  ordinance or law coverage,  such policy or policies to be written
on a replacement cost basis.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Landlord
shall at all times be entitled to  insurance  in an amount  sufficient  to avoid
being a coinsurer.  All such insurance shall be carried in favor of Landlord and
Landlord's first fee mortgagee as their  interest(s) may appear.  Such insurance
may also be  carried  in favor of  Tenant  and the  holder(s)  of any  leasehold
mortgages on this Lease, as their interests may appear; provided,  however, that
any such policy shall effectively provide, if such provision be obtainable, that
Landlord's  interest  therein shall not be subject to  cancellation by reason of
any act or  omission  of  Tenant  or any  leasehold  mortgagee.  Notwithstanding
anything in this Lease to the contrary,  all such fire and extended coverage and
other  insurance  policies  covering  damage to or  destruction of buildings and
improvements  on the Demised  Premises shall  effectively  provide that any loss
payable  thereunder  shall  be  adjusted  solely  by  Tenant  and the  leasehold
mortgagee(s),  and that the  proceeds  of such  insurance  shall be  payable  to
Tenant, however, if in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000),  shall
be paid to and deposited  with  Landlord's  first fee  mortgagee,  provided such
mortgagee is a bank, savings bank or trust company whose deposits are insured by
the FDIC,  or insurance  company,  pension fund,  credit  company or real estate
investment trust, and such mortgagee has resources in excess of $100,000,000 (an
"Institutional  Lender"),  and if not then  said  proceeds  shall be paid to and
deposited  with any  Institutional  Lender of Tenant's  selection,  as insurance
trustee (the "Insurance  Trustee"),  which shall hold,  apply and make available
the proceeds of such insurance as hereinafter provided in this Lease.

                  15.7 Waiver of Subrogation.  Each party to this Lease releases
the other party  (which term as used in this  Section  includes  the  employees,
agents,  officers,  managing  member,  members and directors of the other party)
from all liability, whether for negligence or otherwise, in connection with loss
covered by any fire  and/or  extended  coverage  insurance  policies,  which the
releasor  carries  with  respect to the  Demised  Premises,  or any  interest or
property  therein or thereon  (whether or not such  insurance  is required to be
carried  under this  Lease),  but only to the extent that such loss is collected
under said fire and/or extended  coverage  insurance  policies.  Such release is
also  conditioned  upon the  inclusion  in the policy or policies of a provision
whereby any such release shall not adversely affect said policies,  or prejudice
any right of the  releasor  to recover  thereunder.  Each party  agrees that its
insurance  policies  aforesaid will include such a provision so long as the same
shall be  obtainable  without  extra  cost,  or if extra  cost  shall be charged
therefor,  so long as the party for whose benefit the clause or  endorsement  is
obtained shall pay such extra cost. If extra cost shall be chargeable  therefor,
each party shall advise the other of the amount of the extra cost, and the other
party at its election, may pay the same, but shall not be obligated to do so.

                                   ARBITRATION
                                   -----------

         If any controversy should arise between the parties in the performance,
interpretation  or application of this Lease involving any matter,  either party
may serve upon the other a written  notice  stating  that such party  desires to
have the  controversy  resolved by an  arbitrator.  If the parties  cannot agree
within  fifteen (15) days from the service of such notice upon the  selection of
such  arbitrator,  an arbitrator shall be selected or designated by the American
Arbitration Association upon written request of either party hereto. Arbitration
of such controversy,  disagreement,  or dispute shall be conducted in accordance
with the Commercial  Arbitration Rules then in force of the American Arbitration
Association  and the decision and award of the  arbitrator so selected  shall be
binding upon Landlord and Tenant. The arbitration will be held in Dallas, Texas.

         As a condition  precedent to the appointment of any arbitrator,  in any
non-monetary dispute, both parties shall be required to make a good faith effort
to resolve the  controversy,  which effort shall continue for a period of thirty
(30) days prior to any demand for arbitration.  The cost of any such arbitration
shall be shared  equally  by the  parties.  Each  party  shall pay its own costs
incurred as a result of its participation in any such arbitration.

         If the issue to be arbitrated is Landlord's or Tenant's  alleged breach
of this  Lease and as a result  thereof,  Landlord  or  Tenant  has the right to
terminate  this Lease,  Tenant  shall  continue  to lease the  Demised  Premises
pending the outcome of such  arbitration,  provided Landlord or Tenant may elect
to proceed without arbitration under its other remedies in this Lease.

with Landlord  ("Restricted  Party"),  shall,  directly or indirectly,  operate,
manage,  own, control,  finance or provide financing for, be a consultant for or

about the Demised Premises not then in the public domain.

restrictions  contained  in this Section 17.1 are  reasonable  and  necessary to

unreasonable in any  proceeding,  then the parties agree that the period of time
or the scope of such  restrictions  (or both) shall be adjusted to such a manner
or for such a time (or both) as is adjudged to be reasonable.

subcontractor,  laborer,  or materialman for the performance of any labor or the
furnishing  of any materials for any specific  improvements,  alteration  to, or

claiming to represent the  indemnifying  party in this  transaction  for fees or
commissions.

                  21.1 Termination. Without limiting any of the rights of Tenant

the  verification by Tenant of the accuracy of all of Landlord's and Jack West's
warranties and representations made herein and the due compliance by Landlord of
all of its  agreements set forth herein and elsewhere in this Lease which are to
be performed prior to the  Commencement  Date. If, on or before the Commencement
Date, Tenant, in its sole judgment,  shall determine that any of said conditions
precedent  have not been  satisfied,  or that  Landlord's  or any of Jack West's
representations  or warranties are untrue or that Landlord has not complied with
any of said  agreements,  then the  Tenant  may elect to either  (i)  extend the
Commencement  Date for a period or periods  not in excess of ninety (90) days in
the aggregate,  during which time Landlord shall use its best efforts to satisfy
the condition,  complete its required  performance and otherwise cure the defect
or  non-compliance;  or (ii) terminate this Lease, by notice to Landlord.  If at
the end of any extended period or periods for the Commencement  Date said defect
or non-compliance has not been cured to Tenant's reasonable satisfaction, Tenant
may terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord. If this Lease is terminated,  as
aforesaid,  Landlord  shall  cause any  deposits,  pre-  payments  or other sums
theretofore delivered or paid by Tenant hereunder to be refunded to Tenant, with
all interest earned thereon, and Landlord shall pay up to $15,000 of the cost of
any survey obtained,  any title search made, any insurance  commitment issued by
Tenant's title  insurance  company,  and any other  expenses,  including but not
limited to legal fees, incurred by Tenant, in connection with this Lease.

                  21.2 Tenant's  Remedies.  If Landlord fails to comply with any
of the  provisions of this Lease then,  in addition to all other legal  remedies
available to Tenant by reason of Landlord's default, Tenant shall have the right
to obtain specific  performance of Landlord's  obligations  hereunder.  Each and
every  covenant,  representation  and  warranty of  Landlord  and Jack West made
herein shall survive and continue after the Commencement Date. Nothing contained
herein  shall be deemed to restrict or limit  Tenant in any way from  offsetting
against  or  deducting  from any  Annual  Rent or other  payments  to be made to
Landlord herein, the amount


                                     - 57 -

of any costs or damages  incurred by Tenant as a result of or arising out of the
breach by Landlord of any covenant,  agreement,  representation or warranty made
by Landlord or Jack West in this  Lease;  provided  that the amount to be offset
against  or  deducted  from any  particular  payment  shall not exceed ten (10%)
percent  of such  payment,  with the  balance  of any such  amount  to be offset
against  or  deducted  from  subsequent  payments  subject to such cap and carry
forward provisions.

         THIS PURCHASE OPTION  AGREEMENT  (this "Option  Agreement") is made and
entered  into as of the 10th day of June,  1996 by and THE  HOMESTEAD  OF GARDEN
CITY,  L.C.,  a Kansas  limited  liability  company  having an  address  c/o The
Homestead  Company,  L.C., 155 North Market,  Suite 910, Wichita,  Kansas 67202,
Attention:  Mr. Jack West ("Owner"), and INTEGRATED LIVING COMMUNITIES AT GARDEN
CITY, INC., a Delaware  corporation having an office at 10065 Red Run Boulevard,
Owing Mills, Maryland 21117 ("Optionee").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:
                              --------------------

         WHEREAS,  Owner  is the  owner  of  certain  parcels  of land  and real
property (the "Land") as indicated and more fully  described on Exhibit A hereto
and all of the "Leased  Improvements",  "Related Rights" and "Fixtures" (as said
terms are  defined in the  hereinafter  described  Lease)  situated  thereon and
appurtenant  thereto,  and Owner is the  owner of the  "Personal  Property"  and
"Other Assets" (as said terms are defined in the Lease) situate on,  appurtenant
to  and/or  related  to the Land  and  Leased  Improvements  (the  Land,  Leased
Improvements,  Related Rights, Fixtures,  Personal Property and Other Assets are
herein collectively referred to as the "Facility"); and

         WHEREAS, Owner and Optionee have entered into a certain Lease Agreement
of even date herewith ("Lease") pursuant to which Owner has agreed to demise and
Optionee has agreed to lease the Facility; and

         WHEREAS,  Owner and Optionee have entered into a certain Right of First
Refusal  Agreement of even date  herewith  (the "Right of First  Refusal")  with
respect to third party offers to purchase the Facility; and

         WHEREAS,  Owner has agreed to grant to  Optionee  an option to purchase
all of the Facility.

         NOW,  THEREFORE,  for  and  in  consideration  of the  promises  herein
contained,  and for other  good and  valuable  consideration,  the  receipt  and
sufficiency of which are  acknowledged by the parties,  Owner and Optionee agree
as follows:

         1. Grant of Option.  Effective as of the date hereof and subject to the
terms and  conditions  as set forth below,  Owner  hereby  grants and conveys to
Optionee  the  irrevocable  and  exclusive  right and option (the  "Option")  to
purchase all, but not less than all, of the Facility from Owner,  upon the terms
and conditions of this Option Agreement. If the Lease is terminated prior to the
Commencement Date (as defined in the Lease), then this Option Agreement shall be
deemed to be terminated simultaneously with such termination of the Lease.

         2. Option Period. The Option may be exercised by Optionee in the manner
specified  in  Section 4 hereof at any time  during the  Initial  Term after the
fifth  anniversary  of the date of the Lease and,  if the Lease is  extended  as
provided therein, at any time during each Renewal Term of the


                                       -1-
<PAGE>
Lease (the terms  "Initial  Term" and "Renewal Term" being defined in the Lease;
said  periods,  each  individually  referred  to herein as an "Option  Period").
Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be an abeyance of Optionee's right to
exercise the Option during any (a) ninety (90) day period  provided in Section 3
of the Right of First Refusal during which Owner can accept an Offer (as defined
in the Right of First  Refusal)  and (b) period that a contract of sale  between
Owner and a third  party with  respect to an Offer is in full force and  effect.
The abeyance of Optionee's  right to exercise the Option shall  automatically be
lifted if Owner does not accept the Offer  within such ninety (90) day period or
any such contract of sale is terminated.

         If the  Option has not been  exercised  by  Optionee,  as  provided  in
Section 3 hereof,  prior to the  expiration of the last Option  Period,  or such
later date as is provided in Section 3 hereof,  the Option  shall  automatically
expire and be of no further force or effect.

         3. Exercise of the Option. Optionee shall exercise the Option by giving
written notice thereof (the "Exercise  Notice") to Owner in the manner  provided
in Section 16 hereof,  at least one hundred  twenty (120) days prior to the date
specified  in such  notice  for the  Closing  (as  hereinafter  defined)  of the
purchase of the  Facility by Optionee  (as the same may be extended  pursuant to
the terms  hereof,  the  "Closing  Date"),  provided  that in no event shall the
Closing Date specified in the Exercise  Notice be later than the date originally
set forth in the Lease for the  expiration  of the Lease Term (as defined in the
Lease).  Notwithstanding  the general notice period under Section 16 hereof, the
Exercise  Notice,  if mailed in  accordance  with  Section 16  hereof,  shall be
effective  upon deposit with the United States mail.  From and after the date on
which the Exercise  Notice is given,  this Option  Agreement shall be deemed for
all purposes to be a legally enforceable contract between Optionee and Owner for
the sale and  purchase  of the  Facility  upon the terms and  conditions  herein
provided.  If Optionee  fails to exercise  the Option in the manner  provided in
this Option Agreement prior to the expiration of the last Option Period, subject
to the following  sentence,  the Option shall expire,  and no party hereto shall
thereafter  have any rights,  liabilities or obligations  whatsoever  under this
Option  Agreement.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing  and anything  herein to the
contrary,  in the event that the Lease is terminated for any reason prior to the
date  originally set forth therein for the  expiration of the term thereof,  the
Option shall  continue and Optionee  shall have the right to exercise the Option
by giving the Exercise Notice to Owner not later than the ten (10) business days
after  the date on which  the  notice  of  termination  under the Lease has been
given,  provided that the Closing Date in such event shall be not later than the
date which is one hundred twenty (120) days  following the date the  termination
of the Lease  became  effective.  If the Lease is  terminated  or the Lease Term
expires prior to the Closing Date, then Optionee shall be permitted to remain in
possession of the Facility  until the Closing Date, or such earlier date as this
Option  Agreement may be terminated as herein  provided,  such  possession to be
upon all of the same terms and provisions of the Lease (including the provisions
for payment of Annual Rent) in effect  during the Lease Year (the terms  "Annual
Rent" and "Lease Year" being defined in the Lease) in effect  immediately  prior
to the date of the termination of the Lease or expiration of the Lease Term.

         4.       Sale and Purchase of the Facility.
                  ----------------------------------

                  (a) Upon the giving of the Exercise  Notice,  Owner shall sell
the Facility to Optionee and Optionee  shall purchase the Facility from Owner in
the manner and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Option Agreement.

                  (b)  Optionee's  decision to exercise  the Option shall not be
deemed a waiver of any breach of  representation,  warranty or covenant given by
Owner or Jack West in this Option Agreement, the Lease or in the Deed or Bill of
Sale referred to in Section 9 hereof,  and Optionee  shall retain all rights and
remedies with respect thereto.

         5. Purchase Price. (a) Optionee shall pay to Owner, in consideration of
the sale and  conveyance  of the  Facility to  Optionee,  a purchase  price (the
"Purchase  Price")  equal to the fair market value of the Facility as determined
pursuant to the appraisal process hereinafter described,  provided, however, the
Purchase Price shall not be less than $2,800,000. The entire Purchase Price will
be payable at the Closing by  Optionee's  certified  check or an  official  bank
check,  (either  such check  being  hereinafter  referred  to as an  "Acceptable
Check") payable to the order of Owner, or at Owner's option, by wire transfer of
immediately  available  federal funds to Owner's account in a commercial bank in
accordance  with wire transfer  instructions  to be furnished by Owner not later
than ten (10) days prior to the Closing, or by (at Owner's option) a combination
of both.

                  (b) Any  appraisal  of fair market  value to be made under the
provisions of this Section shall be made as follows:

                  At any time  after  Owner's  receipt  of  Optionee's  Exercise
Notice,  Owner and Optionee may, by notice to the other, appoint a disinterested
person  of  recognized  competence  in the field as one of the  appraisers,  and
within twenty (20) days thereafter the other party shall, by notice to the party
appointing  the  first  appraiser,   appoint  another  disinterested  person  of
recognized  competence in such field as a second appraiser.  The appraisers thus
appointed shall appoint a third disinterested person of recognized competence in
such field, and such three  appraisers  shall as promptly as possible  determine
such value, provided, however, that:

                           (i) if the  second  appraiser  shall  not  have  been
appointed as aforesaid,  the first  appraiser  shall  proceed to determine  such
value; and

                           (ii) if,  within ten (10) days after the  appointment
of the second  appraiser,  the two appraisers  appointed by the parties shall be
unable to agree  upon the  appointment  of a third  appraiser,  they  shall give
notice of such  failure to agree to the  parties,  and, if the  parties  fail to
agree upon the selection of such third appraiser  within five (5) days after the
appraisers appointed by the parties gave notice, as aforesaid,  then within five
(5) days thereafter  either of the parties upon notice to the other party hereto
may apply for such  appointment to a court of the State of Kansas having a situs
in Finney County.

<PAGE>
                   All  appraisers,  in addition to being  persons of recognized
competence in the field of appraisal,  shall be MAI appraisers with at least ten
years prior  experience.  Each of the parties  shall each be entitled to present
evidence and argument to the appraisers.  The  determination  of the majority of
the appraisers or of the sole appraiser,  as the case may be, or, if there is no
majority,  the average of said appraisers appraisals (provided,  however, if any
single  appraisal  deviates from the average of the other two appraisals by more
than twenty (20%)  percent,  then such  appraisal  shall be  disregarded in such
determination),  shall be conclusive upon the parties and judgment upon the same
may be entered in any court having  jurisdiction  thereof.  The appraisers shall
give notice to the parties  stating  their  determination,  and shall furnish to
each party a copy of such determination signed by them. Each party shall pay the
costs, fees and expenses of the appraiser selected by that party and costs, fees
and the expenses of the third  appraiser and all other aspects of this appraisal
process  shall be borne  equally by the  parties.  Each party  shall pay its own
costs  and  expenses  incurred  as a  result  of its  participation  in any such
appraisal  process.  In the event of the  failure,  refusal or  inability of any
appraiser  to act, a new  appraiser  shall be  appointed in his stead within ten
(10) days,  which  appointment  shall be made in the same manner as hereinbefore
provided for the appointment of the appraiser so failing,  refusing or unable to
act.  The  appraisers  shall base their  determination  on the  highest and best
legally permissible use of the Facility,  as-is at the time of the Closing Date,
and unencumbered by the Lease, and shall not have the power to add to, modify or
change any of the provisions of this Option Agreement.

         6.       Intentionally Deleted.
                  -----------------------

         7.  Survey  and  Engineering.  Optionee  shall at all times  during the
Option  Period and  before  the  Closing  have the  privilege  of going upon the
Facility with its agents or engineers as needed to inspect,  examine, survey and
otherwise do what Optionee deems  necessary in the  engineering and planning for
development of the Facility. Said privilege shall include the right to make soil
tests,  borings,  percolation  tests  and  tests  to  obtain  other  information
necessary to determine surface, subsurface and topographic conditions; provided,
however,  that  Optionee  shall hold Owner  harmless  from any damages  incurred
through the  exercise of such  privilege.  Optionee  and Owner agree that in the
event of the exercise of the Option, Optionee may obtain surveys of the Facility
(hereinbelow referred to as the "Surveys") to be made by surveyors duly licensed
within  the state  where the  Facility  is  located  to  determine  the true and
accurate  legal  description of the  properties  comprising the Facility,  which
Surveys shall be at Optionee's sole cost and expense.

         8.  Examination  of Title.  Optionee  shall on or about the date of the
exercise of the Option  order a title  insurance  search and  commitment  for an
Owner's title insurance policy from any reputable title insurance  company,  and
not later than thirty (30) days before the Closing Date  Optionee  shall cause a
copy of such  title  company's  report  to be sent to Owner and  Optionee  shall
advise Owner of any defects or objections  affecting the  marketability of title
for the Facility disclosed by such report (a "Defect"), other than the following
items:  (herein  referred to  collectively as the "Permitted  Exceptions")  real
property and personal property taxes and assessments  applicable to the Facility
that are not yet due and payable,  recorded  general utility  service  easements
affecting the Facility  which are acceptable to Optionee,  defects  arising from
acts or omissions (or with the written


                                       -4-
<PAGE>
consent) of Optionee and the items listed on Exhibit B hereto.  Owner shall then
have a reasonable  time,  not less than thirty (30) days from the date of notice
of such Defect from Optionee,  to cure or remove such Defect,  or if such Defect
may be removed or satisfied by the payment of a  liquidated  sum,  Owner may, in
lieu of curing or removing such Defect,  deposit with Optionee's title insurance
company  such  amount of money as may be  determined  by said  company  as being
sufficient  to induce  it to omit  such  Defect  from its  policy  and to insure
Optionee against  collection of the same.  Owner shall, in good faith,  exercise
reasonable  diligence  to cure all  Defects.  If Owner fails or refuses to cure,
remove or (if  herein  permitted)  so insure  against  any  Defect  prior to the
Closing Date or the thirty (30) day cure period,  whichever is less, in addition
to the other  rights and  remedies  that  Optionee may have in law or in equity,
Optionee  may, at its  option:  (a) cure,  remove or so insure  against any such
Defect,  in which event the Purchase  Price shall be reduced by the amount equal
to the actual  costs and  expenses  incurred by Optionee in curing,  removing or
insuring  against such Defect;  (b) accept title to the Facility subject to such
Defect or Defects with an abatement of the Purchase  Price in an amount equal to
the then  ascertainable  cost of removing or curing said  Defect;  or (c) cancel
this  Option  Agreement.  If  Optionee  elects  to cure or remove  such  Defect,
Optionee at its option, upon giving notice to Owner, may extend the Closing Date
for the purchase of the Facility (and if necessary, the Option Period shall also
be  extended)  for  ninety  (90) days.  If any Defect  shall not have been cured
within  such  period,  Optionee  may  again  exercise  any of its  rights  under
subsections (a), (b), or (c) hereof.

         9.       Closing and Closing Date.
                  -------------------------

                  (a) The  consummation  of the sale by Owner  and  purchase  by
Optionee  of the  Facility  (the  "Closing")  shall  occur at the offices of the

to Optionee a general warranty deed (the "Deed") conveying fee simple marketable
record  title to the Facility to Optionee  free and clear of all liens,  special
assessments  and other  Impositions  (as defined in the Lease),  or installments
thereof,  as the case may be,  which were due and  payable  prior to the date of
this Option Agreement,  easements,  reservations,  restrictions and encumbrances
whatsoever, excepting only the Permitted Exceptions. At the Closing, Owner shall
deliver a bill of sale  (the  "Bill of Sale")  to  Optionee  conveying  good and
marketable title to the Fixtures,  Personal Property and Other Assets.  The Bill
of Sale shall  contain a warranty  that such  property  is free and clear of all
liens,  encumbrances,  security  interests  and  adverse  claims  except for the
lien(s) of the Permitted  Exceptions,  if any. It is agreed that Optionee  shall
prepare any  required  sales tax return;  that said return  shall be executed by
Owner at the  Closing;  and that Owner shall file same and pay any sales tax due
thereon promptly after the Closing.

                  (b) No prorations or  apportionments  shall be required at the
Closing,  except that  Optionee  shall pay, or cause to be paid,  to Owner at or
before the Closing all Annual Rent and other sums then due and payable  pursuant
to the Lease and, if  applicable,  accrued from the date of  termination  of the
Lease or  expiration  of the Lease Term  through  the  Closing  Date,  as herein
provided.  Owner shall, at the Closing,  pay for the preparation of the Deed and
for all transfer taxes as required by law.

                  (c) The Deed shall be in recordable form and duly executed and
acknowledged.  The Deed shall have  affixed  thereto  any  requisite  surtax and
documentary tax stamps, in proper amount, affixed by Owner, at Owner's sole cost
and expense.  At the  Closing,  Owner shall  deliver to Optionee its  Acceptable
Check(s),  to the order of the appropriate tax collecting agency or official, in
the amount of all transfer taxes and other taxes and charges in connection  with
the sale and transfer of the Facility by Owner to Optionee and the  recording of
the Deed, or allow  Optionee a credit  against the Purchase Price due at Closing
in the amount thereof.

                  (d) A draft of the Deed and the Bill of Sale,  and a  proposed
schedule of apportionments  shall be delivered by Owner to Optionee's  attorneys
for review and  approval  at least ten (10)  business  days prior to the Closing
Date.

                  (e) If Owner or any  managing  member  or member of Owner is a
corporation,  Owner shall deliver, or cause to be delivered,  to Optionee at the
Closing a sworn certificate by the secretary of such corporation certifying that
the  Board of  Directors  and  Shareholders  of such  corporation  have  adopted
resolutions  authorizing  the  sale of the  Facility  pursuant  to  this  Option
Agreement  and  delivery  of the  Deed  and all  other  documents  delivered  to
Optionee,  and setting forth such additional  facts, if any, needed to show that
the conveyance is in conformity with applicable law.

                  (f) At the Closing,  Owner shall deliver to Optionee copies of
any required transfer tax returns executed by Owner.

                  (g) At the  Closing,  Owner shall  deliver to  Optionee,  such
affidavits as Optionee's title insurance  company shall require in order to omit
from its title  insurance  policy all mechanics'  liens arising from the acts or
omissions  of Owner and rights of parties in  possession  (other than parties in
possession under the Lease) and exceptions for judgments,  bankruptcies or other
returns  against  persons or entities  whose names are the same as or similar to
Owner's name.

                  (h) At  the  Closing,  Owner  shall  deliver  to  Optionee  an
affidavit  stating,  under penalty of perjury,  Owner's  United States  taxpayer
identification  number and that  Owner is not a  "foreign  person" as defined in
Section  1445(f)(3)  of the  Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986,  as  amended,  and
otherwise in the form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service.

                  (i)  At the  Closing,  Owner  shall  deliver  any  affidavits,
statements, certifications or other documents which are required by the laws and
regulations  of the  state  and  local  governmental  authorities  in which  the
Facility is located,  to be delivered by sellers of real estate,  and shall also
deliver all other documents it is required to deliver pursuant to the provisions
of this Option Agreement.

         10.      Owner's Representations and Warranties.

                  (a) To induce  Optionee to enter into this  Option  Agreement,
Owner and Jack West each hereby represents and warrants, to Optionee as follows:



                                       -6-
<PAGE>
                           (i)  Owner  is  a  limited   liability  company  duly
organized,  validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Kansas.  Copies of its articles of  organization,  operating  agreement  and all
amendments thereto to date (collectively,  the "Organizational  Documents") have
been delivered to Optionee,  and are true,  complete and correct.  Owner has the
power  and  authority  to own the  property  and  assets  now owned by it and to
conduct the business  presently being conducted by it and as currently  proposed
to be conducted.

                           (ii) Owner has the full,  absolute  and  unrestricted
right,  power and  authority to make,  execute,  deliver and perform this Option
Agreement,   including  all  Schedules  and  Exhibits  hereto,   and  the  other
instruments and documents required or contemplated  hereby and thereby ("Owner's
Transaction Documents"). Such execution,  delivery, performance and consummation
have been duly authorized by all necessary action (partnership, corporate, trust
or otherwise,  as the case may be) on the part of Owner, its managing member and
members and all consents of holders of indebtedness of Owner have been obtained.

                           (iii) This Option  Agreement  constitutes  the legal,
valid and binding obligation of Owner,  enforceable  against Owner in accordance
with its terms  and each of  Owner's  Transaction  Documents  executed  by Owner
constitute the valid and binding obligation of Owner,  enforceable against Owner
in accordance with their respective terms.

                           (iv) None of the execution or delivery of this Option
Agreement or any of Owner's Transaction  Documents,  the performance by Owner of
its obligations hereunder or thereunder nor the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby,  conflicts with, or constitutes a breach of or a
default under (1) Owner's Organizational  Documents;  or (2) any applicable law,
rule,  judgment,  order, writ,  injunction,  or decree of any court currently in
effect; or (3) any applicable rule or regulation of any administrative agency or
other  governmental  authority  currently in effect;  or (4) any written or oral
agreement,  indenture,  contract  or  instrument  to which  Owner or any  member
thereof is now a party or by which any of them or the Facility is bound.

                           (v) No  authorization,  consent,  approval,  license,
exemption by filing or registration  with any court or governmental  department,
commission,  board, bureau,  agency or instrumentality,  domestic or foreign, or
any other Person (as defined in the Lease) is or will be necessary in connection
with any Owner's execution, delivery and performance of this Option Agreement or
any  of  Owner's  Transaction   Documents,   or  for  the  consummation  of  the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

                  (b) All of the representations,  warranties and agreements set
forth  herein  and  elsewhere  in this  Option  Agreement,  shall be true in all
material respects upon the execution of this Option  Agreement,  shall be deemed
to be  repeated  on the  Commencement  Date  of the  Lease  and at and as of the
Closing Date and shall survive the delivery of the Deed. No such  representation
or warranty shall omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
contained herein or therein not misleading. Except as herein expressly provided,
neither Owner nor Jack West makes any representations or warranties with respect
to the Facility.

<PAGE>

                  (c) Without  limiting any of the rights of Optionee  elsewhere
provided  for in this  Option  Agreement,  it is agreed that the  obligation  of
Optionee to close title under this Option  Agreement is  conditioned  upon,  and
shall be subject to, the  verification  by  Optionee  of the  accuracy of all of
Owner's and Jack West's warranties and representations and the due compliance by
Owner with all of its  agreements  set forth herein and elsewhere in this Option
Agreement.  If, on or before  the  Closing  Date,  Optionee,  in its  reasonable
judgment,   shall   determine  that  any  of  Owner's  or  any  of  Jack  West's
representations  or warranties are untrue in any material  respect or that Owner
has not  complied  with  any of said  agreements,  then  Optionee  may  elect to
terminate  this  Option  Agreement  by  notice  given to Owner.  If this  Option
Agreement is  terminated,  as aforesaid,  Owner shall pay the cost of any survey
obtained and the cost of any title search made, any insurance commitment issued,
by Optionee's title insurance company and any other expenses, including, but not
limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements,  incurred by Optionee,
in connection with this Option Agreement.

         11.      Additional Settlement Requirements.

Closing Date:

                           (i) the  satisfaction of all title  requirements  and
         conditions set forth under this Option Agreement; and

                           (ii) each and every  one of the  representations  and
         warranties  described in Section 10 hereof being true and correct as of
         the Closing Date in all material respects.

                  (b)      At the Closing, Owner shall:

                           (i) duly  execute and deliver to Optionee the Deed in
         recordable form and the Bill of Sale conveying the Facility to Optionee
         in accordance with the terms hereof;

                           (ii) deliver  possession of the Facility to Optionee,
         free and clear of any  indebtedness and security liens relating thereto
         (excluding those created by Optionee).

                  (c)  At  the  Closing,   Optionee  shall  deliver,  as  herein
provided,  the balance of the Purchase Price for the Facility and all other sums
due pursuant to the terms of this Option Agreement.

         12. Covenants and Agreements of Owner.  Owner hereby further  covenants
and agrees that from and after the date hereof  until the Closing  Date,  unless
permitted  pursuant to the Lease,  Owner shall not grant or otherwise  create or
consent  to or  permit  the  creation  of any  easement,  restriction,  lien  or
encumbrance  affecting the Facility or any portion or portions  thereof  without
the prior written consent of Optionee.  From and after the date hereof until the
Closing  Date,  unless  permitted  pursuant  to the  Lease or the Right of First
Refusal,  Owner shall not, without the prior written consent of Optionee,  sell,
convey or transfer the Facility or any portion or portions thereof,


                                       -8-
<PAGE>

to anyone other than Optionee; provided, however, that any such sale, conveyance
or  transfer  shall be  subject  to all rights of  Optionee  under  this  Option
Agreement, the Right of First Refusal and the Lease.

         13.      Intentionally Deleted.
                  -----------------------

         14. Defaults.  In the event Owner or Jack West breach,  in any material
respect,  any warranty or  representation as contained in this Option Agreement,
or Owner  fails to comply with or perform any of the  covenants,  agreements  or
obligations  to be  performed  by Owner under the terms and  provisions  of this
Option Agreement,  Optionee shall be entitled to exercise any and all rights and
remedies  available  to  Optionee  at  law  or  in  equity,  including,  without
limitation, the enforcement by specific performance of Owner's obligations under
this Option Agreement.  If Owner shall be in compliance with all its obligations
hereunder and shall tender the Deed, the Bill of Sale and all other  instruments
required  by this  Option  Agreement  in full  compliance  with its  obligations
hereunder  and  Optionee  shall fail or refuse to close title as required by the
terms of this Option Agreement,  or if Optionee  otherwise defaults hereunder so
that Owner has the right to refuse to close title,  then Owner shall be entitled
to  exercise  any and all rights and  remedies  available  to Owner at law or in
equity, including,  without limitation,  the enforcement by specific performance
of Optionee's obligations under this Option Agreement.

         15. Arbitration. If any controversy should arise between the parties in
the  performance,  interpretation  or  application  of  this  Option  Agreement,
involving  any matter,  either  party may serve upon the other a written  notice
stating  that  such  party  desires  to  have  the  controversy  reviewed  by an
arbitrator.  If the  parties  cannot  agree  within  fifteen  (15) days from the
service of such notice upon the  selection  of such  arbitrator,  an  arbitrator
shall be selected or designated  by the American  Arbitration  Association  upon
written  request  of  either  party  hereto.  Arbitration  of such  controversy,
disagreement,  or dispute shall be conducted in accordance  with the  Commercial
Arbitration Rules then in force of the American Arbitration  Association and the
decision and award of the arbitrator so selected shall be binding upon Owner and
Optionee. The arbitration will be held in Dallas, Texas.

                  As a condition  precedent to the appointment of any arbitrator
both  parties  shall be  required  to make a good faith  effort to  resolve  the
controversy  which effort shall  continue for a period of thirty (30) days prior
to any  demand for  arbitration.  The cost and  expense of any such  arbitration
shall be shared  equally by the parties.  Each party shall pay its own costs and
expenses incurred as a result of its participation in any such arbitration.

         16.  Notices.  All notices,  requests,  demand or other  communications
required or permitted under this Option  Agreement shall be in writing and shall

         17.  Assignment  and  Binding  Effect.  The rights and  obligations  of
Optionee  hereunder  shall be assignable.  The parties to this Option  Agreement
mutually  agree  that it shall be binding  upon and enure to the  benefit of the
parties hereto, their successors and assigns.

         18.  Evidence  of  Title.  Owner  agrees to  deliver  to  Optionee,  or

         19. General  Provisions.  No failure of any party to exercise any power
given  hereunder  or to  insist  upon  strict  compliance  with  any  obligation
specified  herein,  and no custom or practice at variance with the terms hereof,
shall  constitute a waiver of either  party's  right to demand exact  compliance
with the terms hereof.  This Option  Agreement  contains the entire agreement of
the parties hereto, and no representations, inducements, promises or agreements,
oral or otherwise,  among the parties not embodied  herein shall be of any force
or effect.  Any amendment to this Option Agreement shall not be binding upon any
of the parties  hereto  unless such  amendment is in writing and executed by all

the application  thereof to any person or circumstance shall, for any reason and
to any  extent,  be invalid  or  unenforceable,  the  remainder  of this  Option
Agreement  and  the   application   of  such   provision  to  other  persons  or
circumstances  shall not be affected thereby but rather shall be enforced to the
greatest extent permitted by law.

         21. Understanding and Agreements. This Option Agreement constitutes the
entire  understanding and agreements of whatsoever nature or kind existing among
the parties with respect to the Option.

         22.  Governing  Law.  This  Option  Agreement  shall be  construed  and
interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Kansas.

with any  broker  in  connection  with this  transaction  other  than  Southwest
Retirement  Properties (the "Broker") and Optionee agrees to pay any commissions
earned by the Broker,  whether pursuant to a separate  agreement  between it and
the Broker, or otherwise. If no broker is specified in this Section, the parties
acknowledge that this Option  Agreement was brought about by direct  negotiation
between  Owner and Optionee and that neither  Owner nor Optionee  know of anyone
entitled to a commission in connection with this transaction. Owner and Optionee
shall indemnify and defend each other against any and all

claims, demands, costs, expenses or causes of actions arising out of a breach of
the agreements contained in this Section 23. The representations, warranties and
indemnities  contained in this Section 23 shall  survive the Closing,  or if the
Closing does not occur, the termination of this Option Agreement.

         24. Condemnation. If, after the exercise of the Option and prior to the
Closing Date,  all or any portion of the Facility is taken by eminent  domain or
condemnation  (or is the subject of a pending or  contemplated  taking which has
not been  consummated),  Owner shall notify  Optionee of such fact, and Optionee
shall have, in the event that the whole Facility or a "substantial  and material
portion"  (as defined in Section 7.3 of the Lease) of the  Facility is taken (or
is  the  subject  of a  pending  or  contemplated  taking  which  has  not  been
consummated),  the option to  terminate  this  Option  Agree ment upon notice to
Owner given not later than  fifteen (15) days after  receipt of Owner's  notice.
Upon such termination by Optionee neither party shall have any further rights or
obligations  hereunder.  If Optionee  does not exercise this option to terminate
this Option  Agreement or the taking (or pending or contemplated  taking) is not
of the whole or a substantial and material portion of the Facility,  there shall
be a fair and equitable  adjustment  of the Purchase  Price or, at the option of
Optionee,  in lieu of such  adjustment,  Owner shall  assign and turn over,  and
Optionee shall be entitled to receive and keep, all awards or other proceeds for
such taking by eminent domain or condemnation.

         25.  Expense  of  Litigation.  If  either  party  incurs  any  expense,
including  reasonable   attorneys'  fees,  in  connection  with  any  action  or
proceeding  instituted  by  either  party by reason of any  default  or  alleged
default of the other party  hereunder,  the court or tribunal  before which such
proceeding  is  pending  may award to the  party  prevailing  in such  action or
proceeding  the reasonable  attorneys'  fees of such  prevailing  party from the
other party.

         26.  Memorandum of Option  Agreement.  Owner and Optionee shall execute
and deliver to each other an  instrument,  recordable in form setting forth such
information  as may be necessary to constitute a "memorandum  of agreement"  for
recording  purposes  immediately  upon execution of this Option  Agreement.  Any
party,  at its  expense,  shall  have the right to  record  such  memorandum  of
agreement for the purpose of giving notice of Optionee's rights pursuant to this
Option Agreement.
This Option Agreement shall not be recorded.

                        RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AGREEMENT
                        --------------------------------

                  THIS RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), made
and entered into as of the 10th day of June,  1996, by and between THE HOMESTEAD
OF GARDEN CITY, L.C., a Kansas limited  liability  company having an address c/o
The Homestead Company, L.C., 155 North Market, Suite 910, Wichita, Kansas 67202,
Attention:  Mr.  Jack West,  as landlord  ("Landlord"),  and  INTEGRATED  LIVING
COMMUNITIES  AT GARDEN CITY,  INC., a Delaware  corporation  having an office at
10065 Red Run Boulevard, Owings Mills, Maryland 21117, as tenant ("Tenant").

                           W I T N E S S E T H: That;
                           --------------------

                  WHEREAS,  Landlord  and Tenant are parties to a certain  Lease
Agreement dated of even date herewith (the "Lease")  covering the Facility known
as "The Homestead at Garden City;" and

                  WHEREAS,  in consideration for Tenant's agreement to lease the
Demised Premises under the Lease, Landlord has agreed to grant Tenant a right of
first  refusal to purchase the Demised  Premises  described in the Lease,  which
includes the Land described on Exhibit A hereto.

                  NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration including,
without limitation,  the rents and mutual covenants and agreements  contained in
the Lease, the parties agree as follows:

                  1. Grant of Right of First Refusal.  Landlord hereby grants to
Tenant a right of first refusal to purchase the Demised Premises under the terms
and conditions hereinafter set forth.

                  2.  Notice of  Offers.  If at any time  during  the Lease Term
Landlord  receives a bona fide written  Offer (as  hereinafter  defined) for the
sale of the Demised  Premises  from any third  person or entity  which  Landlord
desires to accept,  Landlord shall notify Tenant of such Offer in writing, which
notification (the "Notice") shall contain a copy of the bona fide written Offer.
For purposes of this  Agreement,  an "Offer"  shall mean any written  instrument
setting forth the terms  pursuant to which such third party proposes to purchase
the Demised Premises,  including,  without  limitation,  non-binding  letters of
intent.

                  3.  Exercise  of Right of First  Refusal.  Tenant  shall  have
twenty (20) days after  receipt of the Notice in which to elect to purchase  the
Demised  Premises on the same terms and  conditions  as those  contained  in the
Offer;  provided,  however,  that the  purchase  price  payable by Tenant or its
designee  shall be the  purchase  price set  forth in the Offer or the  purchase
price that Tenant is required to pay under the Option  Agreement,  whichever  is
less. Such election shall be made by written notice to Landlord,  accompanied by
a check in the amount of the deposit set forth in the Offer,  if any, and within
thirty (30) days thereafter the parties shall enter into a formal contract


                                       -1-
<PAGE>
for the sale of the Demised  Premises  containing all terms of the Offer made to
Landlord,  except  as  hereinabove  set  forth and  except  as the  parties  may
otherwise  mutually  agree.  If Tenant  fails to give the  notice or tender  the
payment,  or if Tenant  fails to enter  into the  contract  of sale as  provided
herein,  Landlord shall have the right to accept the Offer, but shall not accept
any other offer at a lower price,  or on terms  materially more favorable to the
third party  purchaser  than that  contained in the Offer,  without  first again
granting Tenant the right to purchase the Demised Premises as aforesaid.  In the
event  Landlord  does not accept the Offer within  ninety (90) days after Tenant
fails to  exercise  its  right of first  refusal  with  respect  to the  Demised
Premises as granted  herein,  or within  ninety (90) days after Tenant  notifies
Landlord  that it  declines to exercise  its right of first  refusal,  or if the
contract with the third party is thereafter terminated for any reason,  Landlord
shall again give Tenant the right to purchase the Demised  Premises as set forth
herein  before  accepting  the Offer or any other bona fide written offer of any
third party.

                  4. Transfer of Ownership  Interests by Landlord.  The right of
first refusal contained herein shall not be applicable to transfers of ownership
interests in Landlord provided that a majority interest in Landlord continues to
be held in the aggregate by the members of Landlord which or who were members on
the Commencement Date of the Lease.

                  5.   Notices.   All  notices,   requests,   demands  or  other
communications  required or permitted  under this Agreement  shall be in writing
and  shall  be  either  personally  delivered  evidenced  by a  signed  receipt,
transmitted by United States certified mail, return receipt  requested,  postage
prepaid, or by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service,  addressed as

                  7.  Amendment.  This  Agreement may be amended at any time and
from time to time; provided,  however, that no amendment to this Agreement shall

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

         This  AGREEMENT  is made  effective  as of May 1, 1996 (the  "Effective
Date"),  by  and  between  INTEGRATED  LIVING  COMMUNITIES,   INC.,  a  Delaware
corporation  (hereinafter  referred  to as the  "Company"),  and  EDWARD J. KOMP
(hereinafter referred to as the "Executive").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

         WHEREAS,  the Company  wishes to employ the Executive and to ensure the
continued services of the Executive for the Term (as hereinafter  defined),  and
the  Executive  desires to be employed  by the  Company for such Term,  upon the
terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

         NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the  foregoing  premise and the
mutual agreements herein contained, the parties,  intending to be legally bound,
hereby agree as follows:

                                    ARTICLE I


                             EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP

         1.1  Employment.  The  Company  hereby  employs  the  Executive  in the
position of President  and Chief  Executive  Officer of the  Company,  with such
responsibilities  as may be  assigned  to  Executive  from  time  to time by the
Company's  Board of Directors.  Executive  shall report to and be responsible to
the Board of Directors of the Company for the period  hereinafter set forth, and
the Executive hereby accepts such employment.

<PAGE>

         During the Term,  the Executive  agrees to devote all such working time
as is  reasonably  required  for the  discharge of his duties  hereunder  and to
perform such services faithfully and to the best of his ability. Notwithstanding
the foregoing,  nothing in this Agreement  shall preclude the Executive from (a)
engaging in charitable  and community  affairs,  so long as they are  consistent
with his duties and  responsibilities  under this  Agreement,  (b)  managing his
personal  investments,  and (c)  serving  on the  boards of  directors  of other
companies  with the  consent  of the  President  or the  individual  to whom the
Executive reports.

         1.2 Term. Unless sooner  terminated  pursuant to Article III below, the
term of this Agreement (the "Term") shall commence on the Effective Date, and be
in effect for three (3) years; provided, however, that on each May 1st after the
date of this Agreement (an  "Anniversary  Date"),  the then current term of this
Agreement automatically shall be extended by an additional period of twelve (12)
months,  so that, as of each  Anniversary  Date,  this  Agreement  shall have an
unexpired Term of three (3) years.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  either party
hereto may elect not to so extend this Agreement by giving written notice of his
or its election to the other party hereto at least one hundred twenty (120) days
prior to any Anniversary Date. In the event the Company elects not to renew this
Agreement with appropriate  notice as provided  herein,  the Company may buy out
the  remaining  term of the  Agreement  through the payment of  severance to the
Executive as provided in Section 3.4.

                                  COMPENSATION

         2.1 Salary.  The  Executive  shall  receive a base salary at an initial
rate of Two Hundred  Eighty-five  Thousand Dollars  ($285,000.00)  per year (the

than  monthly.  On each  Anniversary  Date,  the Salary  shall be  increased  or
decreased (but not below Two Hundred Eighty-five Thousand Dollars ($285,000.00))
by a  percentage  which is equal to the  percentage  increase  or  decrease,  as
applicable,  in the "Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers"  published by
the United States  Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics for the then
most recently ended twelve (12) month period as of the date of such  adjustment,
and increased by such additional  amounts as may be determined at the discretion
of the Board of Directors of the Company.  Once adjusted,  such adjusted  amount
shall  constitute  Salary for purposes of this  Agreement. 

         2.2 Bonuses. If the Company meets or exceeds the goals as determined by
the Board (the  "Target"),  then the Company  shall pay the  Executive an annual
bonus ("Bonus") based on the Executive's performance,  benefit to the Company at
large, and the extent to which the Company equals or exceeds the Target, payable
within  ninety  (90) days of the end of the fiscal  year.  Such  Bonus  shall be
discretionary  except  that if the Company  meets it Target  then the  Executive
shall receive a bonus of not less than fifty percent (50%) of his Salary.

         2.3 Executive  Benefits and  Perquisites.  During the Term, the Company
shall  provide  and/or pay for  employee  benefits  and  perquisites  including,

         Company policy;

         executive  retirement  program (SERP) that the Company shall  establish
         and maintain.  

         Once  increased,  the level of benefits  and  perquisites  shall not be
decreased without the Executive's consent.

         2.4  Equity-based  Compensation.  During  the  Term,  the  Compensation
Committee,  in its complete discretion,  may select the Executive to participate
in  programs  or enter into  agreements  which  provide for the grant of certain
equity-based compensation or rights to the Executive.

         2.5  Relocation  Expenses.  The Company has required  the  Executive to
relocate to the  Naples\Ft.  Myers,  Florida as a condition of  employment.  The

<PAGE>
a location acceptable to the Company (the "Location") by September 30, 1996. The
Company shall reimburse the Executive's  reasonable  expenses for his relocation
to the Location according the terms in this Section 2.5 and with the appropriate
documentation  and  prior  approval  of the  CEO or  head  of  Human  Resources.
Reasonable   relocation  expenses  shall  include  (i)  the  expense  to  moving
Executive's  family,  personal  and  household  goods  and (ii) the  travel  and
accommodation  expenses  for  one  trip  to the  Location  to  search  for a new
residence.  Executive  shall obtain three (3) bids  concerning the moving of his
personal  property  which  bids shall be  submitted  to the CEO or head of Human
Resources for his review and prior approval.  In the event that the Executive is
terminated or resigns within the first twelve (12) months of his employment with
the  Company,  Executive  shall repay to the  Company a prorated  portion of his
relocation expenses.  The prorated amount shall be calculated on a monthly basis
with one-twelfth (1/12) of the expenses being assigned to each month.

                  Until Executive relocates to the Location,  the Company agrees
to reimburse his travel costs to the  Company's  offices up to $1,000 per month,
such reimbursement subject to the provisions above.

                  (b)   Notwithstanding   anything  in  Section  3.2(a)  to  the
contrary,  a termination shall not be for Cause unless (i) the party to whom the
Executive  reports  notifies  the  Executive,  in writing,  of his  intention to
terminate  the  Executive  for Cause  (which  notice shall set forth the conduct
alleged to constitute  Cause) (the "Cause Notice");  and (ii) the Executive does

sixty (60) days after the receipt of the Cause Notice.  

         3.3 Termination  for Good Reason.  (a) The Executive may terminate this
Agreement for Good Reason,  provided he gives the Company  prior written  notice
that Good  Reason  exists  (the "Good  Reason  Notice").  For  purposes  of this
Agreement, Good Reason shall mean one or both of the following:

                  (1)  a  material  breach  of  the  Agreement  by  the  Company

         the Executive's prior written consent:

                           (i)  a  material   diminution   of  the   Executive's
                  responsibilities, title, authority or status,

                           (ii) the failure of the Company to pay the  Executive
                  amounts when due under this Agreement,

                           (iii) the Executive's  removal or dismissal from, the
                  position set forth in Section 1.1 above, and

                           (iv) a reduction in Salary or a material reduction in
                  benefits  (other  than a  reduction  in  Salary  permitted  by
                  Section 2.1).

                  (2) the resignation by the Executive  within one (1) year of a
         "Change of Control," as defined in Section 3.3(b).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a termination on account of a reason described in
paragraph  (1),  shall be deemed not to be for Good Reason  unless the Executive
(i) gives the Company the  opportunity to cure the condition that purports to be
Good Reason, and (ii) the Company fails to cure that condition within sixty (60)
days after the  receipt  of the Good  Reason  Notice  (or,  with  respect to the
failure to make any payment when due to the Executive within ten (10) days after
the receipt of such notice).

<PAGE>

         Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if there is a "Change of Control"
as defined  hereafter,  the  Company  shall  cause the  Executive's  outstanding
options which are not  immediately  exercisable  to vest and become  immediately
exercisable  and the  restrictions  on equity  held by the  Executive  which are
scheduled  to lapse  solely  through the  passage of time to lapse (such  events
collectively  referred to as  "Acceleration  of Equity Rights") and an immediate
vesting of all amounts in the Executive's SERP (any reference to the Executive's
Acceleration  of Equity Rights shall also include the  immediate  vesting of all
amounts in the Executive's SERP).

                  (b) For  purposes  of this  Agreement,  a "Change of  Control"
shall  be  deemed  to  occur  if  (i)  there  shall  be   consummated   (x)  any
consolidation,  reorganization  or merger of the Company in which the Company is
not the  continuing or surviving  corporation or pursuant to which shares of the
Company's  common  stock  would be  converted  into  cash,  securities  or other
property,  other  than a merger  of the  Company  in which  the  holders  of the
Company's  common  stock   immediately   prior  to  the  merger  have  the  same
proportionate ownership of common stock of the surviving corporation immediately
after the merger,  or (y) any sale,  lease,  exchange or other  transfer (in one
transaction or a series of related transactions) of all, or substantially all,
of the assets of the  Company,  or (ii) the  stockholders  of the Company  shall
approve any plan or proposal for  liquidation or dissolution of the Company,  or
(iii) any person (as such term is used in  Sections  13(d) and  14(d)(2)  of the
Exchange  Act,  including  any "group"  (as  defined in Section  13(d)(3) of the
Exchange  Act)  (other  than  the  Executive  or  any  group  controlled  by the
Executive))  shall become the beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3
under  the  Exchange  Act) of  twenty  percent  (20%)  or more of the  Company's
outstanding  common stock (other than pursuant to a plan or arrangement  entered
into by such person and the  Company)  and such person  discloses  its intent to
effect a change in the  control or  ownership

                                     - 8 -

<PAGE>
of the Company in any filing with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission,  or
(iv)  within  any  twenty-four  (24)  month  period  beginning  on or after  the
Effective Date, the persons who were directors of the Company immediately before
the beginning of such period (the  "Incumbent  Directors")  shall cease (for any
reason other than death,  disability  or  retirement)  to  constitute at least a
majority of the Board or the board of directors of any successor to the Company,
provided  that,  any  director who was not a director as of the  Effective  Date
shall be deemed to be an Incumbent  Director if such director was elected to the
Board  by,  or on the  recommendation  of or with  the  approval  of,  at  least
two-thirds  of the directors who then  qualified as Incumbent  Directors  either
actually or by prior operation of this Section  3.3(b)(iv) unless such election,
recommendation  or approval was the result of any actual or threatened  election
contest of the type  contemplated  by Regulation  14a-11  promulgated  under the
Exchange Act or any successor provision.

         3.4  Severance.  (a) If the  Executive  resigns for Good Reason,  or is
terminated  without  Cause or at the end of the term  hereof,  or if the Company
gives  the  Executive  notice  of its  intention  not to  extend  the  Term,  in
accordance with Article II, the Company shall cause an immediate Acceleration of
Equity Rights and the SERP in favor of the Executive.  In addition,  the Company
shall pay the Executive an amount (the  "Severance  Amount") equal to the sum of
(1) the remaining  Salary due under the remainder of the term of this Agreement,
assuming  that, if no notice has been given pursuant to Section 1.2 above not to
renew this  Agreement,  then the remaining  amount of time under this  Agreement
shall be three (3) years (the "Severance  Term"); and (2) the Bonus Amount which
shall be the greater of i) the  Executive's  Bonus in the year of termination or
in the immediately preceding calendar year, whichever is greater. Such Severance
Amount shall be payable in cash as follows:

                                     - 9 -

<PAGE>
                  (x) no  later  than  10  days  after  the  effective  date  of
         Executive's  termination,  the Company shall pay the Executive one-half
         (1/2) of the Severance Amount in a lump sum;

                  (y)  commencing  on the first day of the month  following  the
         effective date of Executive's  termination  and on the first day of the
         month  thereafter for a period equal to the Severance Term, the Company
         shall pay the remaining  one-half (1/2) of the Severance  Amount to the
         Executive in equal monthly installments;

provided,  however, that if the Executive's employment terminates other than for
Cause, within one (1) year following a Change of Control,  the Company shall, in
lieu of the making the payments  described in (x) and (y), pay the Executive the
Severance  Amount in one lump sum cash  payment  within  ten (10) days after the
effective date of Executive's termination.

         In addition,  for a period equal to the  Severance  Term  following the
effective  date  of the  Executive's  termination,  the  Company  shall  provide
continued employee benefits and coverage for the Executive and his dependents of
the type and at a level of coverage  comparable to the coverage in effect at the
time of  termination  or the preceding  year,  whichever is greater  ("Continued
Benefits")  including,  but not limited to, those benefits and  perquisites  set
forth in Section 2.3 hereof. Such allowances,  benefits and coverages,  etc., to
be  not  less  than  those  in  effect  on the  Effective  Date  of  Executive's
termination or the preceding  year,  whichever is greater.  Notwithstanding  the
foregoing,  if any of the  Continued  Benefits or other  benefits to be provided
hereunder have been  decreased or otherwise  negatively  affected  within twelve
(12) months prior to the  effective  date of the  Executive's  termination,  the
reference for measuring  such benefit shall be the date prior to such  reduction
rather than the date of such termination.

<PAGE>
         3.5  Termination  for  Disability.  (a) The Company may  terminate  the
Executive  following a determination by the Chief Executive Officer or the Board
of Directors that the Executive has a Permanent Disability;  provided,  however,
that no such  termination  shall be effective (i) prior to the expiration of the
six (6)  month  period  following  the date the  Executive  first  incurred  the
condition  which  is the  basis  for  the  Permanent  Disability  or (ii) if the
Executive begins to substantially perform the significant aspects of his regular
duties prior to the proposed effective date of such termination. For purposes of
this Agreement,  "Permanent Disability" shall mean the Executive's inability, by
reason of any  physical  or mental  impairment,  to  substantially  perform  the
significant  aspects of his regular  duties,  as contemplated by this Agreement,
which inability is reasonably contemplated to continue for at least one (1) year
from its incurrence and at least ninety (90) days from the effective date of the
Executive's  termination.   Any  question  as  to  the  existence,   extent,  or
potentiality of the Executive's  Permanent  Disability  shall be determined by a
qualified  independent physician selected by the Executive (or, if the Executive
is  unable  to make  such  selection,  by an  adult  member  of the  Executive's
immediate family) and reasonably acceptable to the Company.

                  (b) If the  Executive is  terminated  because of his Permanent
Disability, the Company shall provide for the Acceleration of Equity Rights and,
the  Company  shall,  (i) for a period  of  twelve  (12)  months  following  the
effective date of such termination  (the "Disability  Period") pay the Executive
one  hundred  (100%)  percent of his Salary  plus  Bonus  Amount,  offset by the
amount,  if any, paid to the Executive under the salary  replacement  portion of
disability  benefits  paid  under a  disability  plan or policy  paid for by the
Company;  and (ii) provide him with  Continued  Benefits  during the  Disability

         3.6 Death or Disability After Termination.  Should the Executive die or
become  disabled before receipt of any or all payments to which the Executive is
entitled to under Section 3.4 (or in the case of the Executive's death following
his  termination  on  account of  Permanent  Disability,  before  receipt of all
payments  under  Section  3.5) then the  balance  of the  payments  to which the
Executive is entitled shall continue to be paid to the Executive (in the case of
his disability) or to the executors or administrators of the Executive's  estate
(in the event of the Executive's  death);  provided,  however,  that the Company
may, at any time within its  discretion,  accelerate  any  payments  and pay the
Executive  or his estate the present  value of such  payments in a lump sum cash
payment.  For purposes of determining  the present value under this Section 3.6,
the interest rate shall be the prime rate of Citibank, N.A.

         All of the foregoing are  hereinafter  referred to as "Trade  Secrets."
The Company and the Executive  consider  their  relation one of confidence  with

Company,  regardless  of the reasons that such  employment  ends,  the Executive
agrees:
                           (aa) To hold all Trade Secrets in confidence  and not
                  discuss,  communicate  or  transmit  to  others,  or make  any
                  unauthorized copy of or use the Trade Secrets in any capacity,
                  position  or  business  except as it  directly  relates to the
                  Executive's employment by the Company;

                           (bb) To use the Trade Secrets only in  furtherance of
                  proper  employment  related  reasons of the Company to further

                           (cc) To take all reasonable  actions that the Company
                  deems necessary or appropriate, to prevent unauthorized use or

                  Trade Secrets; and

                           (dd) That any of the Trade Secrets,  whether prepared
                  by the  Executive  or  which  may come  into  the  Executive's
                  possession during the Executive's  employment  hereunder,  are
                  and remain the property of the Company and its affiliates, and
                  all such Trade Secrets,  including  copies  thereof,  together
                  with  all  other  property  belonging  to the  Company  or its
                  affiliates,  or used in their respective businesses,  shall be
                  delivered to or left with the Company.

<PAGE>
         This  Agreement does not apply to (i)  information  that by means other
than the Executive's  deliberate or inadvertent  disclosure becomes known to the
public;  (ii)  disclosure  compelled by judicial or  administrative  proceedings
provided the Executive  affords the Company the opportunity to obtain  assurance
that  compelled  disclosures  will  receive  confidential  treatment;  and (iii)
information  independently developed by the Executive,  the development of which
was not a breach of this Agreement.

         4.2  Non-Competition.  (a)  During  the Term and for a period of twelve
(12) months  thereafter,  the  Executive  agrees  that he will not,  without the
express  written  consent of the Company,  for the Executive or on behalf of any
other  person,  firm,  entity or other  enterprise  (i)  directly or  indirectly
solicit for employment or recommend to any subsequent  employer of the Executive
the  solicitation  for  employment  of any  person  who,  at the  time  of  such
solicitation is employed by Company or any affiliate  thereof,  (ii) directly or
indirectly  solicit,  divert,  or endeavor  to entice  away any  customer of the
Company or any affiliate  thereof,  or otherwise engage in any activity intended
to  terminate,  disrupt,  or interfere  with the  Company's  or any  affiliate's
relationship  with a customer,  supplier,  lessor or other  person,  or (iii) be
employed by, be a director, officer or manager of, act as a consultant for, be a
partner in,  have a  proprietary  interest  in, give advice to, loan money to or
otherwise  associate  with, any person,  enterprise,  partnership,  association,
corporation,  joint  venture or other entity which is directly or  indirectly in
the business of owning,  operating or managing  any (1)  healthcare  facility or
business,  including  but not  limited  to, any  subacute  healthcare  facility,
rehabilitation  hospital,  nursing  home,  home health care  business,  assisted
living,  retirement  housing,  or  congregate  care  facility  or (2) any  other
business similar to a business which is or was owned, operated or managed by the
Company  during the Term or during the period that this  Section 4.2 shall 

                                     - 14 -

<PAGE>

apply to the  Executive,  unless  such  business  comprises  (and has during the
preceding twelve (12) month period comprised) less than five percent (5%) of the
Company's  gross  revenues;  and,  in the  case  of  any  facility  or  business
described,  in either  case,  which  competes  with any such type of facility or
business then operated by the Company or any of its subsidiaries. This provision
shall not be construed to prohibit  the  Executive  from owning up to 10% of the
outstanding  voting shares of the equity  securities of any company whose common
stock is listed for trading on any national securities exchange or on the NASDAQ
System or serving as a director  of any such  company.  The  provisions  of this
Section  4.2  shall  nly  apply to  businesses  and  operations  located  in, or
otherwise conducted in, the United States.

         4.3 Remedies For Breach of Article IV. In the event that the  Executive
materially  violates  the  covenants  contained  in this  Article IV,  after his
termination of employment under  circumstances  which entitle him to payments or
benefits  under  Section 3.4, the Company  may, at its  election,  upon ten (10)
days' prior  notice,  terminate  the  Severance  Period and cease  providing the
Executive  with  such  payments  and  benefits.   In  addition,   the  Executive
acknowledges  and  agrees  that  the  amount  of  damages  in the  event  of the
Executive's breach of this Article IV will be difficult,  if not impossible,  to
ascertain.  The Executive therefore agrees that the Company, in addition to, and
without  limiting any other remedy or right it may have, shall have the right to
an injunction  enjoining  any breach of the  covenants  made by the Executive in
this Article IV.

Officer's liability insurance as determined by the Board of Directors; provided,
however,  that the level of  insurance  may be  decreased  with the  Executive's

         WHEREAS,  the Company  wishes to employ the Executive and to ensure the
continued services of the Executive for the Term (as hereinafter  defined),  and
the  Executive  desires to be employed  by the  Company for such Term,  upon the
terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

         NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the  foregoing  premise and the
mutual agreements herein contained, the parties,  intending to be legally bound,
hereby agree as follows:

         1.1  Employment.  The  Company  hereby  employs  the  Executive  in the
position of Senior Vice  President and Chief  Operating  Officer of the Company,
with such  responsibilities as may be assigned to Executive from time to time by
the Company's  President and Chief Executive Officer.  Executive shall report to

Officer of the Company for the period  hereinafter set forth,  and the Executive
hereby accepts such employment.

<PAGE>

         During the Term,  the Executive  agrees to devote all such working time
as is  reasonably  required  for the  discharge of her duties  hereunder  and to
perform such services faithfully and to the best of her ability. Notwithstanding
the foregoing,  nothing in this Agreement  shall preclude the Executive from (a)
engaging in charitable  and community  affairs,  so long as they are  consistent
with her duties and  responsibilities  under this  Agreement,  (b)  managing her
personal  investments,  and (c)  serving  on the  boards of  directors  of other

         1.2 Term. Unless sooner  terminated  pursuant to Article III below, the
term of this Agreement (the "Term") shall commence on the Effective Date, and be
in effect for three (3) years; provided, however, that on each May 1st after the
date of this Agreement (an  "Anniversary  Date"),  the then current term of this
Agreement automatically shall be extended by an additional period of twelve (12)

         amount of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00); and

                  (i) the  Executive  shall be  eligible  to  participate  in an
         executive  retirement  program (SERP) that the Company shall  establish
         and maintain.

reason or for no stated reason, upon no less than ninety (90) days prior written
notice (or such shorter  notice to the extent  provided  for  herein).  Upon the
Executive's   termination  without  "Cause"  (as  defined  in  Section  3.2)  or
resignation for "Good Reason" (as defined in Section 3.3) or upon the expiration
of the Term  following  the Company's  election not to renew this  Agreement (in

shall be entitled to severance as set forth in Section 3.4. Upon the Executive's
termination  for Cause or resignation  without Good Reason,  the Executive shall
not be  entitled to  severance.  If the  Executive's  employment  is  terminated

                           (iv) Executive commits theft, larceny or embezzlement
                  of Company's tangible or intangible property.

                  (b)   Notwithstanding   anything  in  Section  3.2(a)  to  the
contrary,  a termination shall not be for Cause unless (i) the party to whom the
Executive  reports  notifies  the  Executive,  in writing,  of her  intention to
terminate  the  Executive  for Cause  (which  notice shall set forth the conduct
alleged to constitute  Cause) (the "Cause Notice");  and (ii) the Executive does
not cure her conduct (to the  reasonable  satisfaction  of the party to whom the
Executive  reports),  within  sixty  (60) days  after the  receipt  of the Cause
Notice.
         3.3 Termination  for Good Reason.  (a) The Executive may terminate this
Agreement for Good Reason,  provided he gives the Company  prior written  notice
that Good  Reason  exists  (the "Good  Reason  Notice").  For  purposes  of this
Agreement, Good Reason shall mean one or both of the following:

                  (1)  a  material  breach  of  the  Agreement  by  the  Company
         (including,  without  limitation,  one or more of the following without
         the Executive's prior written consent:

                           (i)  a  material   diminution   of  the   Executive's
                  responsibilities, title, authority or status,

                           (ii) the failure of the Company to pay the  Executive
                  amounts when due under this Agreement,

                           (iii) the Executive's  removal or dismissal from, the
                  position set forth in Section 1.1 above, and

                           (iv) a reduction in Salary or a material reduction in
                  benefits  (other  than a  reduction  in  Salary  permitted  by
                  Section 2.1).

                  (2) the resignation by the Executive  within one (1) year of a

<PAGE>

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a termination on account of a reason described in
paragraph  (1),  shall be deemed not to be for Good Reason  unless the Executive
(i) gives the Company the  opportunity to cure the condition that purports to be
Good Reason, and (ii) the Company fails to cure that condition within sixty (60)
days after the  receipt  of the Good  Reason  Notice  (or,  with  respect to the
failure to make any payment when due to the Executive within ten (10) days after
the receipt of such notice).
 
        Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if there is a "Change of Control"
as defined  hereafter,  the  Company  shall  cause the  Executive's  outstanding
options which are not  immediately  exercisable  to vest and become  immediately
exercisable  and the  restrictions  on equity  held by the  Executive  which are
scheduled  to lapse  solely  through the  passage of time to lapse (such  events
collectively  referred to as  "Acceleration  of Equity Rights") and an immediate
vesting of all amounts in the Executive's SERP (any reference to the Executive's
Acceleration  of Equity Rights shall also include the  immediate  vesting of all
amounts in the Executive's SERP).

                  (b) For  purposes  of this  Agreement,  a "Change of  Control"
shall  be  deemed  to  occur  if  (i)  there  shall  be   consummated   (x)  any
consolidation,  reorganization  or merger of the Company in which the Company is
not the  continuing or surviving  corporation or pursuant to which shares of the
Company's  common  stock  would be  converted  into  cash,  securities  or other
property,  other  than a merger  of the  Company  in which  the  holders  of the
Company's  common  stock   immediately   prior  to  the  merger  have  the  same
proportionate ownership of common stock of the surviving corporation immediately
after the merger,  or (y) any sale,  lease,  exchange or other  transfer (in one
transaction or a series of related  transactions) of all, or substantially  all,
of the assets of the  Company,  or (ii) the  stockholders  of the Company  shall
approve any plan or proposal for liquidation or dissolution of the

                                      - 7 -

<PAGE>
Company,  or (iii)  any  person  (as such  term is used in  Sections  13(d)  and
14(d)(2)  of the  Exchange  Act,  including  any  "group" (as defined in Section
13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) (other than the Executive or any group  controlled
by the Executive)) shall become the beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule
13d-3 under the Exchange  Act) of twenty  percent (20%) or more of the Company's
outstanding  common stock (other than pursuant to a plan or arrangement  entered
into by such person and the  Company)  and such person  discloses  its intent to
effect a change in the  control or  ownership  of the Company in any filing with
the  Securities and Exchange  Commission,  or (iv) within any  twenty-four  (24)
month period  beginning  on or after the  Effective  Date,  the persons who were
directors of the Company  immediately  before the  beginning of such period (the
"Incumbent Directors") shall cease (for any reason other than death,  disability
or  retirement)  to  constitute at least a majority of the Board or the board of
directors of any successor to the Company,  provided  that, any director who was
not a  director  as of the  Effective  Date  shall be deemed to be an  Incumbent
Director if such director was elected to the Board by, or on the  recommendation
of or with the  approval  of,  at least  two-thirds  of the  directors  who then
qualified as Incumbent  Directors  either actually or by prior operation of this
Section  3.3(b)(iv)  unless such  election,  recommendation  or approval was the
result of any actual or threatened  election contest of the type contemplated by
Regulation 14a-11 promulgated under the Exchange Act or any successor provision.

         3.4  Severance.  (a) If the  Executive  resigns for Good Reason,  or is
terminated  without  Cause or at the end of the term  hereof,  or if the Company
gives  the  Executive  notice  of its  intention  not to  extend  the  Term,  in
accordance with Article II, the Company shall cause an immediate Acceleration of
Equity Rights and the SERP in favor of the Executive.  In addition,  the Company
shall pay the  Executive  an amount (the  "Severance  Amount")  equal to One and
One-half (1.5) times

                                                     - 8 -
<PAGE>
the  sum of (1)  her  Salary  in the  year  of  Termination  or the  immediately
preceding  year,  whichever is greater;  and (2) the Bonus Amount which shall be
the greater of i) the  Executive's  Bonus in the year of  termination  or in the
immediately preceding calendar year, whichever is greater. Such Severance Amount
shall be payable in cash as follows:

                  (x) no  later  than  10  days  after  the  effective  date  of
         Executive's  termination,  the Company shall pay the Executive one-half
         (1/2) of the Severance Amount in a lump sum;

                  (y)  commencing  on the first day of the month  following  the
         effective date of Executive's  termination  and on the first day of the
         month  thereafter  for a period of eighteen  (18)  months,  the Company
         shall pay the remaining  one-half (1/2) of the Severance  Amount to the
         Executive in equal monthly installments;

provided,  however, that if the Executive's employment terminates other than for
Cause, within one (1) year following a Change of Control,  the Company shall, in
lieu of the making the payments  described in (x) and (y), pay the Executive the
Severance  Amount in one lump sum cash  payment  within  ten (10) days after the
effective date of Executive's termination.

         In  addition,  for a period  of  eighteen  (18)  months  following  the
effective  date  of the  Executive's  termination,  the  Company  shall  provide
continued employee benefits and coverage for the Executive and her dependents of
the type and at a level of coverage  comparable to the coverage in effect at the
time of  termination  or the preceding  year,  whichever is greater  ("Continued
Benefits")  including,  but not limited to, those benefits and  perquisites  set
forth in Section 2.3 hereof. Such allowances,  benefits and coverages,  etc., to
be  not  less  than  those  in  effect  on the  Effective  Date  of  Executive's
termination or the preceding  year,  whichever is greater.  Notwithstanding  the
foregoing,  if any of the  Continued  Benefits or other  benefits to be provided
hereunder have been decreased or

                                      - 9 -
<PAGE>
otherwise  negatively  affected within twelve (12) months prior to the effective
date of the  Executive's  termination,  the reference for measuring such benefit
shall  be the  date  prior  to  such  reduction  rather  than  the  date of such
termination.  

         3.5  Termination  for  Disability.  (a) The Company may  terminate  the
Executive  following a determination by the Chief Executive Officer or the Board
of Directors that the Executive has a Permanent Disability;  provided,  however,
that no such  termination  shall be effective (i) prior to the expiration of the
six (6)  month  period  following  the date the  Executive  first  incurred  the
condition  which  is the  basis  for  the  Permanent  Disability  or (ii) if the
Executive begins to substantially perform the significant aspects of her regular
duties prior to the proposed effective date of such termination. For purposes of
this Agreement,  "Permanent Disability" shall mean the Executive's inability, by
reason of any  physical  or mental  impairment,  to  substantially  perform  the
significant  aspects of her regular  duties,  as contemplated by this Agreement,
which inability is reasonably contemplated to continue for at least one (1) year
from its incurrence and at least ninety (90) days from the effective date of the
Executive's  termination.   Any  question  as  to  the  existence,   extent,  or
potentiality of the Executive's  Permanent  Disability  shall be determined by a
qualified  independent physician selected by the Executive (or, if the Executive
is  unable  to make  such  selection,  by an  adult  member  of the  Executive's
immediate family) and reasonably acceptable to the Company.

                  (b) If the  Executive is  terminated  because of her Permanent
Disability, the Company shall provide for the Acceleration of Equity Rights and,
the  Company  shall,  (i) for a period  of  twelve  (12)  months  following  the
effective date of such termination  (the "Disability  Period") pay the Executive
one  hundred  (100%)  percent of her Salary  plus  Bonus  Amount,  offset by the
amount,  if any, paid to the Executive under the salary  replacement  portion of
disability  benefits  paid  under 

                                     - 10 -
<PAGE>
a disability  plan or policy paid for by the Company;  and (ii) provide him with
Continued Benefits during the Disability Period.

         3.6 Death or Disability After Termination.  Should the Executive die or
become  disabled before receipt of any or all payments to which the Executive is
entitled to under Section 3.4 (or in the case of the Executive's death following
her  termination  on  account of  Permanent  Disability,  before  receipt of all
payments  under  Section  3.5) then the  balance  of the  payments  to which the
Executive is entitled shall continue to be paid to the Executive (in the case of
her disability) or to the executors or administrators of the Executive's  estate
(in the event of the Executive's  death);  provided,  however,  that the Company
may, at any time within its  discretion,  accelerate  any  payments  and pay the
Executive  or her estate the present  value of such  payments in a lump sum cash
payment.  For purposes of determining  the present value under this Section 3.6,
the interest rate shall be the prime rate of Citibank, N.A.

                           COVENANTS OF THE EXECUTIVE

                  (b) Supply and Service Information,  including but not limited

         extent that such information is not generally known to the public,  and
         the extent that the  

                                     - 11 -

         combination  of  suppliers  or use  of a  particular  supplier,  though
         generally known or available,  yields advantages to the Company details
         of which are not generally known;

                  (c)  Marketing  Information,  including  but  not  limited  to
         information  relating to details  about  ongoing or proposed  marketing
         programs or agreements by or on behalf of the Company, sales forecasts,
         advertising  formats  and  methods or results of  marketing  efforts or
         information about impending transactions;

                  (d)  Personnel  Information,  including  but  not  limited  to
         information  relating to  employees'  personnel  or medical  histories,
         compensation   or  other  terms  of  employment,   actual  or  proposed
         promotions, hirings, resignation, disciplinary actions, terminations or
         reasons  therefor,  training  methods,  performance,  or other employee
         information; and

                  (e)  Customer  Information,   including  but  not  limited  to
         information relating to past, existing or prospective customers' names,
         addresses or backgrounds,  records of agreements and prices,  proposals
         or agreements  between customers and the Company,  status of customers'
         accounts or credit, or related  information about actual or prospective
         customers as well as customer lists.

         All of the foregoing are  hereinafter  referred to as "Trade  Secrets."
The Company and the Executive  consider  their  relation one of confidence  with
respect to Trade  Secrets.  Therefore,  during and after the  employment  by the
Company,  regardless  of the reasons that such  employment  ends,  the Executive
agrees:

                           (aa) To hold all Trade Secrets in confidence  and not
                  discuss,  communicate  or  transmit  to  others,  or make  any
                  unauthorized copy of or use the Trade Secrets in any capacity,
                  position  or  business  except as it  directly  relates to the
                  Executive's employment by the Company;

                           (bb) To use the Trade Secrets only in  furtherance of
                  proper  employment  related  reasons of the Company to further
                  the interests of the Company;

                           (cc) To take all reasonable  actions that the Company
                  deems necessary or appropriate, to prevent unauthorized use or
                  disclosure  of or to protect  the  Company's  interest  in the
                  Trade Secrets; and

                           (dd) That any of the Trade Secrets,  whether prepared
                  by the  Executive  or  which  may come  into  the  Executive's
                  possession during the Executive's  employment  hereunder,  are
                  and remain the property of the Company and its affiliates, and
                  all such Trade Secrets,  including  copies  thereof,  together
                  with  all  other  property  belonging  

                                     - 12 -

<PAGE>
                  to the Company or its affiliates,  or used in their respective
                  businesses, shall be delivered to or left with the Company.

         This  Agreement does not apply to (i)  information  that by means other
than the Executive's  deliberate or inadvertent  disclosure becomes known to the
public;  (ii)  disclosure  compelled by judicial or  administrative  proceedings
provided the Executive  affords the Company the opportunity to obtain  assurance
that  compelled  disclosures  will  receive  confidential  treatment;  and (iii)
information  independently developed by the Executive,  the development of which
was not a breach of this Agreement.

         4.2  Non-Competition.  (a)  During  the Term and for a period of twelve
(12) months  thereafter,  the  Executive  agrees  that he will not,  without the
express  written  consent of the Company,  for the Executive or on behalf of any
other  person,  firm,  entity or other  enterprise  (i)  directly or  indirectly
solicit for employment or recommend to any subsequent  employer of the Executive
the  solicitation  for  employment  of any  person  who,  at the  time  of  such
solicitation is employed by Company or any affiliate  thereof,  (ii) directly or
indirectly  solicit,  divert,  or endeavor  to entice  away any  customer of the
Company or any affiliate  thereof,  or otherwise engage in any activity intended
to  terminate,  disrupt,  or interfere  with the  Company's  or any  affiliate's
relationship  with a customer,  supplier,  lessor or other  person,  or (iii) be
employed by, be a director, officer or manager of, act as a consultant for, be a
partner in,  have a  proprietary  interest  in, give advice to, loan money to or
otherwise  associate  with, any person,  enterprise,  partnership,  association,
corporation,  joint  venture or other entity which is directly or  indirectly in
the business of owning,  operating or managing  any (1)  healthcare  facility or
business,  including  but not  limited  to, any  subacute  healthcare  facility,
rehabilitation  hospital,  nursing  home,  home health care  business,  assisted
living, retirement housing,


                                     - 13 -
<PAGE>

or  congregate  care  facility or (2) any other  business  similar to a business
which is or was owned,  operated  or managed by the  Company  during the Term or
during the period that this  Section 4.2 shall  apply to the  Executive,  unless
such business  comprises (and has during the preceding  twelve (12) month period
comprised) less than five percent (5%) of the Company's gross revenues;  and, in
the case of any facility or business  described,  in either case, which competes
with any such type of facility or business  then  operated by the Company or any
of its  subsidiaries.  This  provision  shall not be  construed  to prohibit the
Executive from owning up to 10% of the  outstanding  voting shares of the equity
securities  of any  company  whose  common  stock is listed  for  trading on any
national securities exchange or on the NASDAQ System or serving as a director of
any such  company.  The  provisions  of this  Section  4.2 shall  only  apply to
businesses  and  operations  located in, or otherwise  conducted  in, the United
States.

         4.3 Remedies For Breach of Article IV. In the event that the  Executive
materially  violates  the  covenants  contained  in this  Article IV,  after her
termination of employment under  circumstances  which entitle him to payments or
benefits  under  Section 3.4, the Company  may, at its  election,  upon ten (10)
days' prior  notice,  terminate  the  Severance  Period and cease  providing the
Executive  with  such  payments  and  benefits.   In  addition,   the  Executive
acknowledges  and  agrees  that  the  amount  of  damages  in the  event  of the
Executive's breach of this Article IV will be difficult,  if not impossible,  to
ascertain.  The Executive therefore agrees that the Company, in addition to, and
without  limiting any other remedy or right it may have, shall have the right to
an injunction  enjoining  any breach of the  covenants  made by the Executive in
this Article IV.

personal  representatives,  and the Company and its successors and assigns.  The
Executive  agrees to execute all  documents  necessary to ratify and  effectuate
such  assignment.  An  assignment  of this  Agreement  by the Company  shall not
release the Company from its monetary obligations under this Agreement.

         5.3 Amendment/Waiver. No change or modification of this Agreement shall
be valid unless it is in writing and signed by both parties hereto. No waiver of

                  (b)   Notwithstanding   anything  in  Section  3.2(a)  to  the
contrary,  a termination shall not be for Cause unless (i) the party to whom the

terminate  the  Executive  for Cause  (which  notice shall set forth the conduct
alleged to constitute  Cause) (the "Cause Notice");  and (ii) the Executive does
not cure his conduct (to the  reasonable  satisfaction  of the party to whom the
Executive  reports),  within  sixty  (60) days  after the  receipt  of the Cause

                                      - 6 -

<PAGE>
                           (ii) the failure of the Company to pay the  Executive
                  amounts when due under this Agreement,

                           (iii) the Executive's  removal or dismissal from, the
                  position set forth in Section 1.1 above, and

                           (iv) a reduction in Salary or a material reduction in
                  benefits  (other  than a  reduction  in  Salary  permitted  by

         "Change of Control," as defined in Section 3.3(b).

Good Reason, and (ii) the Company fails to cure that condition within sixty (60)
days after the  receipt  of the Good  Reason  Notice  (or,  with  respect to the

the receipt of such notice).

         Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if there is a "Change of Control"
as defined  hereafter,  the  Company  shall  cause the  Executive's  outstanding
options which are not  immediately  exercisable  to vest and become  immediately
exercisable  and the  restrictions  on equity  held by the  Executive  which are
scheduled  to lapse  solely  through the  passage of time to lapse (such  events
collectively  referred to as  "Acceleration  of Equity Rights") and an immediate
vesting of all amounts in the Executive's SERP (any reference to the Executive's
Acceleration  of Equity Rights shall also include the  immediate  vesting of all
amounts in the Executive's SERP).

                  (b) For  purposes  of this  Agreement,  a "Change of  Control"
shall  be  deemed  to  occur  if  (i)  there  shall  be   consummated   (x)  any
consolidation,  reorganization  or merger of the Company in which the Company is
not the continuing or surviving corporation or pursuant to which shares of


                                      - 7 -
<PAGE>
the  Company's  common stock would be converted  into cash,  securities or other
property,  other  than a merger  of the  Company  in which  the  holders  of the
Company's  common  stock   immediately   prior  to  the  merger  have  the  same
proportionate ownership of common stock of the surviving corporation immediately
after the merger,  or (y) any sale,  lease,  exchange or other  transfer (in one
transaction or a series of related  transactions) of all, or substantially  all,
of the assets of the  Company,  or (ii) the  stockholders  of the Company  shall
approve any plan or proposal for  liquidation or dissolution of the Company,  or
(iii) any person (as such term is used in  Sections  13(d) and  14(d)(2)  of the
Exchange  Act,  including  any "group"  (as  defined in Section  13(d)(3) of the
Exchange  Act)  (other  than  the  Executive  or  any  group  controlled  by the
Executive))  shall become the beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3
under  the  Exchange  Act) of  twenty  percent  (20%)  or more of the  Company's
outstanding  common stock (other than pursuant to a plan or arrangement  entered
into by such person and the  Company)  and such person  discloses  its intent to
effect a change in the  control or  ownership  of the Company in any filing with
the  Securities and Exchange  Commission,  or (iv) within any  twenty-four  (24)
month period  beginning  on or after the  Effective  Date,  the persons who were
directors of the Company  immediately  before the  beginning of such period (the
"Incumbent Directors") shall cease (for any reason other than death,  disability
or  retirement)  to  constitute at least a majority of the Board or the board of
directors of any successor to the Company,  provided  that, any director who was
not a  director  as of the  Effective  Date  shall be deemed to be an  Incumbent
Director if such director was elected to the Board by, or on the  recommendation
of or with the  approval  of,  at least  two-thirds  of the  directors  who then
qualified as Incumbent  Directors  either actually or by prior operation of this
Section 3.3(b)(iv) unless such election, recommendation or approval was the

                                      - 8 -
<PAGE>
result of any actual or threatened  election contest of the type contemplated by
Regulation 14a-11 promulgated under the Exchange Act or any successor provision.

         3.4  Severance.  (a) If the  Executive  resigns for Good Reason,  or is
terminated  without  Cause or at the end of the term  hereof,  or if the Company
gives  the  Executive  notice  of its  intention  not to  extend  the  Term,  in
accordance with Article II, the Company shall cause an immediate Acceleration of
Equity Rights and the SERP in favor of the Executive.  In addition,  the Company
shall pay the  Executive  an amount (the  "Severance  Amount")  equal to One and
One-half (1.5) times the sum of (1) his Salary in the year of Termination or the
immediately preceding year, whichever is greater; and (2) the Bonus Amount which
shall be the greater of i) the  Executive's  Bonus in the year of termination or
in the immediately preceding calendar year, whichever is greater. Such Severance
Amount shall be payable in cash as follows:

                  (x) no  later  than  10  days  after  the  effective  date  of
         Executive's  termination,  the Company shall pay the Executive one-half
         (1/2) of the Severance Amount in a lump sum;

                  (y)  commencing  on the first day of the month  following  the
         effective date of Executive's  termination  and on the first day of the
         month  thereafter  for a period of eighteen  (18)  months,  the Company
         shall pay the remaining  one-half (1/2) of the Severance  Amount to the
         Executive in equal monthly installments;
provided,  however, that if the Executive's employment terminates other than for
Cause, within one (1) year following a Change of Control,  the Company shall, in
lieu of the making the payments  

                                      - 9 -

<PAGE>
described in (x) and (y), pay the Executive the Severance Amount in one lump sum
cash  payment  within  ten (10) days  after the  effective  date of  Executive's
termination.

         In  addition,  for a period  of  eighteen  (18)  months  following  the
effective  date  of the  Executive's  termination,  the  Company  shall  provide
continued employee benefits and coverage for the Executive and his dependents of
the type and at a level of coverage  comparable to the coverage in effect at the
time of  termination  or the preceding  year,  whichever is greater  ("Continued
Benefits")  including,  but not limited to, those benefits and  perquisites  set
forth in Section 2.3 hereof. Such allowances,  benefits and coverages,  etc., to
be  not  less  than  those  in  effect  on the  Effective  Date  of  Executive's
termination or the preceding  year,  whichever is greater.  Notwithstanding  the
foregoing,  if any of the  Continued  Benefits or other  benefits to be provided
hereunder have been  decreased or otherwise  negatively  affected  within twelve
(12) months prior to the  effective  date of the  Executive's  termination,  the
reference for measuring  such benefit shall be the date prior to such  reduction
rather than the date of such termination.

         3.5  Termination  for  Disability.  (a) The Company may  terminate  the
Executive  following a determination by the Chief Executive Officer or the Board
of Directors that the Executive has a Permanent Disability;  provided,  however,
that no such  termination  shall be effective (i) prior to the expiration of the
six (6)  month  period  following  the date the  Executive  first  incurred  the
condition  which  is the  basis  for  the  Permanent  Disability  or (ii) if the
Executive begins to substantially perform the significant aspects of his regular
duties prior to the proposed effective date of such termination. For purposes of
this Agreement,  "Permanent Disability" shall mean the Executive's inability, by
reason of any  physical  or mental  impairment,  to  substantially  perform  the
significant  aspects of his regular  duties,  as contemplated by this Agreement,
which inability is reasonably contemplated to 

                                     - 10 -

<PAGE>
continue for at least one (1) year from its  incurrence and at least ninety (90)
days from the effective date of the Executive's termination.  Any question as to
the existence,  extent, or potentiality of the Executive's  Permanent Disability
shall  be  determined  by a  qualified  independent  physician  selected  by the
Executive  (or, if the Executive is unable to make such  selection,  by an adult
member of the  Executive's  immediate  family) and reasonably  acceptable to the
Company.

                  (b) If the  Executive is  terminated  because of his Permanent
Disability, the Company shall provide for the Acceleration of Equity Rights and,
the  Company  shall,  (i) for a period  of  twelve  (12)  months  following  the
effective date of such termination  (the "Disability  Period") pay the Executive
one  hundred  (100%)  percent of his Salary  plus  Bonus  Amount,  offset by the
amount,  if any, paid to the Executive under the salary  replacement  portion of
disability  benefits  paid  under a  disability  plan or policy  paid for by the
Company;  and (ii) provide him with  Continued  Benefits  during the  Disability
Period.

         3.6 Death or Disability After Termination.  Should the Executive die or
become  disabled before receipt of any or all payments to which the Executive is
entitled to under Section 3.4 (or in the case of the Executive's death following
his  termination  on  account of  Permanent  Disability,  before  receipt of all
payments  under  Section  3.5) then the  balance  of the  payments  to which the
Executive is entitled shall continue to be paid to the Executive (in the case of
his disability) or to the executors or administrators of the Executive's  estate
(in the event of the Executive's  death);  provided,  however,  that the Company
may, at any time within its  discretion,  accelerate  any  payments  and pay the
Executive  or his estate the present  value of such  payments in a lump sum cash
payment.  For purposes of determining  the present value under this Section 3.6,
the interest rate shall be the prime rate of Citibank, N.A.

         transactions,  or related  information about potential suppliers to the
         extent that such information is not generally known to the public,  and
         the extent that the  combination  of  suppliers  or use of a particular

                  (c)  Marketing  Information,  including  but  not  limited  to

The Company and the Executive  consider  their  relation one of confidence  with
respect to Trade Secrets. Therefore, during

<PAGE>
and after the  employment  by the Company,  regardless  of the reasons that such
employment ends, the Executive agrees:

                           (aa) To hold all Trade Secrets in confidence  and not
                  discuss,  communicate  or  transmit  to  others,  or make  any
                  unauthorized copy of or use the Trade Secrets in any capacity,
                  position  or  business  except as it  directly  relates to the
                  Executive's employment by the Company;

                           (bb) To use the Trade Secrets only in  furtherance of
                  proper  employment  related  reasons of the Company to further
                  the interests of the Company;

                           (cc) To take all reasonable  actions that the Company
                  deems necessary or appropriate, to prevent unauthorized use or
                  disclosure  of or to protect  the  Company's  interest  in the
                  Trade Secrets; and

                           (dd) That any of the Trade Secrets,  whether prepared
                  by the  Executive  or  which  may come  into  the  Executive's
                  possession during the Executive's  employment  hereunder,  are
                  and remain the property of the Company and its affiliates, and
                  all such Trade Secrets,  including  copies  thereof,  together
                  with  all  other  property  belonging  to the  Company  or its
                  affiliates,  or used in their respective businesses,  shall be
                  delivered to or left with the Company.

         This  Agreement does not apply to (i)  information  that by means other
than the Executive's  deliberate or inadvertent  disclosure becomes known to the
public;  (ii)  disclosure  compelled by judicial or  administrative  proceedings
provided the Executive  affords the Company the opportunity to obtain  assurance
that  compelled  disclosures  will  receive  confidential  treatment;  and (iii)
information  independently developed by the Executive,  the development of which
was not a breach of this Agreement.

         4.2  Non-Competition.  (a)  During  the Term and for a period of twelve
(12) months  thereafter,  the  Executive  agrees  that he will not,  without the
express  written  consent of the Company,  for the Executive or on behalf of any
other  person,  firm,  entity or other  enterprise  (i)  directly or  indirectly
solicit for employment or recommend to any subsequent  employer of the Executive
the

solicitation for employment of any person who, at the time of such  solicitation
is employed by Company or any  affiliate  thereof,  (ii)  directly or indirectly
solicit,  divert,  or endeavor to entice away any customer of the Company or any
affiliate  thereof,  or otherwise engage in any activity  intended to terminate,
disrupt, or interfere with the Company's or any affiliate's  relationship with a
customer,  supplier,  lessor  or other  person,  or (iii) be  employed  by, be a
director,  officer or manager of, act as a consultant for, be a partner in, have
a proprietary  interest in, give advice to, loan money to or otherwise associate
with,  any person,  enterprise,  partnership,  association,  corporation,  joint

congregate  care facility or (2) any other business  similar to a business which
is or was owned,  operated or managed by the  Company  during the Term or during
the period  that this  Section  4.2 shall  apply to the  Executive,  unless such
business  comprises  (and has  during the  preceding  twelve  (12) month  period
comprised) less than five percent (5%) of the Company's gross revenues;  and, in
the case of any facility or business  described,  in either case, which competes
with any such type of facility or business  then  operated by the Company or any
of its  subsidiaries.  This  provision  shall not be  construed  to prohibit the
Executive from owning up to 10% of the  outstanding  voting shares of the equity
securities  of any  company  whose  common  stock is listed  for  trading on any
national securities exchange or on the NASDAQ System or serving as a director of
any such  company.  The  provisions  of this  Section  4.2 shall  only  apply to
businesses  and  operations  located in, or otherwise  conducted  in, the United
States.

         4.3 Remedies For Breach of Article IV. In the event that the  Executive
materially  violates  the  covenants  contained  in this  Article IV,  after his
termination of employment under  circumstances  which entitle him to payments or
benefits  under  Section 3.4, the Company  may, at its  election,  upon ten (10)
days' prior  notice,  terminate  the  Severance  Period and cease  providing the
Executive  with  such  payments  and  benefits.   In  addition,   the  Executive
acknowledges  and  agrees  that  the  amount  of  damages  in the  event  of the
Executive's breach of this Article IV will be difficult,  if not impossible,  to
ascertain.  The Executive therefore agrees that the Company, in addition to, and
without  limiting any other remedy or right it may have, shall have the right to
an injunction  enjoining  any breach of the  covenants  made by the Executive in
this Article IV.

transfer,  pledge or hypothecate or otherwise transfer his rights,  obligations,
interests  and benefits  under this  Agreement and any attempt to do so shall be

transferable  by the Company and any such  assignment or transfer shall inure to
the benefit of and be binding  upon the  Executive,  the  Executive's  heirs and
personal  representatives,  and the Company and its successors and assigns.  The
Executive  agrees to execute all  documents  necessary to ratify and  effectuate
such  assignment.  An  assignment  of this  Agreement  by the Company  shall not
release the Company from its monetary obligations under this Agreement.

corporation  (hereinafter  referred  to as the  "Company"),  and KYLE  SHATTERLY

         NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the  foregoing  premise and the
mutual agreements herein contained, the parties,  intending to be legally bound,
hereby agree as follows:

                                    ARTICLE I

                             EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP

         1.1  Employment.  The  Company  hereby  employs  the  Executive  in the

                  (b)   Notwithstanding   anything  in  Section  3.2(a)  to  the
contrary,  a termination shall not be for Cause unless (i) the party to whom the

terminate  the  Executive  for Cause  (which  notice shall set forth the conduct
alleged to constitute  Cause) (the "Cause Notice");  and (ii) the Executive does
not cure his conduct (to the  reasonable  satisfaction  of the party to whom the

vesting of all amounts in the Executive's SERP (any reference to the Executive's
Acceleration  of Equity Rights shall also include the  immediate  vesting of all
amounts in the Executive's SERP).

Exchange  Act,  including  any "group"  (as  defined in Section  13(d)(3) of the
Exchange  Act)  (other  than  the  Executive  or  any  group  controlled  by the

or  retirement)  to  constitute at least a majority of the Board or the board of
directors of any successor to the Company,  provided  that, any director who was
not a  director  as of the  Effective  Date  shall be deemed to be an  Incumbent
Director if such director was elected to the Board by, or on the  recommendation
of or with the  approval  of,  at least  two-thirds  of the  directors  who then
qualified as Incumbent  Directors  either actually or by prior operation of this
Section 3.3(b)(iv) unless such election, recommendation or approval was the

terminated  without  Cause or at the end of the term  hereof,  or if the Company
gives  the  Executive  notice  of its  intention  not to  extend  the  Term,  in
accordance with Article II, the Company shall cause an immediate Acceleration of
Equity Rights and the SERP in favor of the Executive.  In addition,  the Company

immediately preceding year, whichever is greater; and (2) the Bonus Amount which
shall be the greater of i) the  Executive's  Bonus in the year of termination or
in the immediately preceding calendar year, whichever is greater. Such Severance
Amount shall be payable in cash as follows:

                  (x) no  later  than  10  days  after  the  effective  date  of
         Executive's  termination,  the Company shall pay the Executive one-half
         (1/2) of the Severance Amount in a lump sum;

                  (y)  commencing  on the first day of the month  following  the
         effective date of Executive's  termination  and on the first day of the
         month  thereafter  for a period of eighteen  (18)  months,  the Company
         shall pay the remaining  one-half (1/2) of the Severance  Amount to the
         Executive in equal monthly installments;

provided,  however, that if the Executive's employment terminates other than for
Cause, within one (1) year following a Change of Control,  the Company shall, in
lieu of the making the payments

Benefits")  including,  but not limited to, those benefits and  perquisites  set
forth in Section 2.3 hereof. Such allowances,  benefits and coverages,  etc., to
be  not  less  than  those  in  effect  on the  Effective  Date  of  Executive's
termination or the preceding  year,  whichever is greater.  Notwithstanding  the
foregoing,  if any of the  Continued  Benefits or other  benefits to be provided
hereunder have been  decreased or otherwise  negatively  affected  within twelve
(12) months prior to the  effective  date of the  Executive's  termination,  the
reference for measuring  such benefit shall be the date prior to such  reduction
rather than the date of such termination.

         3.5  Termination  for  Disability.  (a) The Company may  terminate  the
Executive  following a determination by the Chief Executive Officer or the Board
of Directors that the Executive has a Permanent Disability;  provided,  however,
that no such  termination  shall be effective (i) prior to the expiration of the
six (6)  month  period  following  the date the  Executive  first  incurred  the
condition  which  is the  basis  for  the  Permanent  Disability  or (ii) if the
Executive begins to substantially perform the significant aspects of his regular
duties prior to the proposed effective date of such termination. For purposes of
this Agreement,  "Permanent Disability" shall mean the Executive's inability, by
reason of any  physical  or mental  impairment,  to  substantially  perform  the
significant  aspects of his regular  duties,  as contemplated by this Agreement,
which inability is reasonably contemplated to 

                                     - 10 -

<PAGE>
continue for at least one (1) year from its  incurrence and at least ninety (90)
days from the effective date of the Executive's termination.  Any question as to
the existence,  extent, or potentiality of the Executive's  Permanent Disability
shall  be  determined  by a  qualified  independent  physician  selected  by the
Executive  (or, if the Executive is unable to make such  selection,  by an adult
member of the  Executive's  immediate  family) and reasonably  acceptable to the
Company.
 
                 (b) If the  Executive is  terminated  because of his Permanent
Disability, the Company shall provide for the Acceleration of Equity Rights and,
the  Company  shall,  (i) for a period  of  twelve  (12)  months  following  the
effective date of such termination  (the "Disability  Period") pay the Executive
one  hundred  (100%)  percent of his Salary  plus  Bonus  Amount,  offset by the
amount,  if any, paid to the Executive under the salary  replacement  portion of
disability  benefits  paid  under a  disability  plan or policy  paid for by the
Company;  and (ii) provide him with  Continued  Benefits  during the  Disability
Period.

         3.6 Death or Disability After Termination.  Should the Executive die or
become  disabled before receipt of any or all payments to which the Executive is
entitled to under Section 3.4 (or in the case of the Executive's death following
his  termination  on  account of  Permanent  Disability,  before  receipt of all
payments  under  Section  3.5) then the  balance  of the  payments  to which the
Executive is entitled shall continue to be paid to the Executive (in the case of
his disability) or to the executors or administrators of the Executive's  estate
(in the event of the Executive's  death);  provided,  however,  that the Company
may, at any time within its  discretion,  accelerate  any  payments  and pay the
Executive  or his estate the present  value of such  payments in a lump sum cash
payment.  For purposes of determining  the present value under this Section 3.6,
the interest rate shall be the prime rate of Citibank, N.A.

is employed by Company or any  affiliate  thereof,  (ii)  directly or indirectly
solicit,  divert,  or endeavor to entice away any customer of the Company or any
affiliate  thereof,  or otherwise engage in any activity  intended to terminate,
disrupt, or interfere with the Company's or any affiliate's  relationship with a

congregate  care facility or (2) any other business  similar to a business which
is or was owned,  operated or managed by the  Company  during the Term or during

comprised) less than five percent (5%) of the Company's gross revenues;  and, in
the case of any facility or business  described,  in either case, which competes

any such  company.  The  provisions  of this  Section  4.2 shall  only  apply to
businesses  and  operations  located in, or otherwise  conducted  in, the United
States.

         4.3 Remedies For Breach of Article IV. In the event that the  Executive
materially  violates  the  covenants  contained  in this  Article IV,  after his
termination of employment under  circumstances  which entitle him to payments or
benefits  under  Section 3.4, the Company  may, at its  election,  upon ten (10)
days' prior  notice,  terminate  the  Severance  Period and cease  providing the
Executive  with  such  payments  and  benefits.   In  addition,   the  Executive
acknowledges  and  agrees  that  the  amount  of  damages  in the  event  of the
Executive's breach of this Article IV will be difficult,  if not impossible,  to
ascertain.  The Executive therefore agrees that the Company, in addition to, and
without  limiting any other remedy or right it may have, shall have the right to
an injunction  enjoining  any breach of the  covenants  made by the Executive in
this Article IV.

                                    ARTICLE V

                            AMENDMENT AND ASSIGNMENT

         5.1 Right of the  Executive to Assign.  The  Executive  may not assign,
transfer,  pledge or hypothecate or otherwise transfer his rights,  obligations,
interests  and benefits  under this  Agreement and any attempt to do so shall be
null and void.

         5.2 Right of Company to Assign.  This Agreement shall be assignable and
transferable  by the Company and any such  assignment or transfer shall inure to
the benefit of and be binding  upon the  Executive,  the  Executive's  heirs and
personal  representatives,  and the Company and its successors and assigns.  The
Executive  agrees to execute all  documents  necessary to ratify and  effectuate
such  assignment.  An  assignment  of this  Agreement  by the Company  shall not
release the Company from its monetary obligations under this Agreement.

Acceleration of Equity Rights).

or the amount of any payment  provided for under this Agreement by seeking other
employment or otherwise nor may any payments  provided for under this Section be

IV.

permitted  by  Delaware  law  against  any  judgments,  fines,  amounts  paid in

fullest  extent  permitted  by law,  in  connection  with any  claim,  action or
proceeding  (whether civil or criminal) against the Executive as a result of his
serving as an officer  or  director  of the  Company or in any  capacity  at the
request of the Company in or with regard to any other entity,  employee  benefit
plan or enterprise.  This indemnification shall be in effect during the Term and
thereafter  and  shall  be  in  addition  to  and  not  in  lieu  of  any  other
indemnification rights the Executive may otherwise have.

         6.8 Attorneys' Fees. Upon presentation of an invoice, the Company shall

arbitrator within seven (7) days after  arbitration is requested,  or if the two
arbitrators  shall fail to select a third  arbitrator  within fourteen (14) days
after  arbitration  is requested,  then an  arbitrator  shall be selected by the

                            INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT


                  This INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT made and entered into as of May
__,  1996,  by and  between  Integrated  Living  Communities,  Inc.,  a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), and __________________ (the "Indemnitee");

                  WHEREAS,  highly competent persons are becoming more reluctant
to serve corporations as directors,  officers or in other capacities unless they
are provided  with adequate  protection  through  insurance and  indemnification
against inordinate risks of claims and actions against them arising out of their
service to and activities on behalf of the Company; and

                  WHEREAS,   the  current  difficulties  of  obtaining  adequate
insurance  have  increased  the  difficulty of  attracting  and  retaining  such
persons; and

                  WHEREAS,  the  Board  of  Directors  has  determined  that the
inability  to  attract  and  retain  such  persons  is  detrimental  to the best
interests  of the  Company's  stockholders  and that the  Company  should act to
assure such persons that there will be increased certainty of such protection in
the future; and

                  WHEREAS,  it is  reasonable,  prudent  and  necessary  for the
Company  contractually  to  obligate  itself to  indemnify  such  persons to the
fullest  extent  permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or continue
to  serve  the  Company  free  from  undue  concern  that  they  will  not be so
indemnified; and

                  WHEREAS, the Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue to serve
and take on additional  service for or on behalf of the Company on the condition
that he be so indemnified.

                  NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the  premises  and the
covenants  contained  herein,  the Company and the Indemnitee do hereby covenant
and agree as follows:

                  SECTION 1.  Indemnification.  The Company shall  indemnify the
Indemnitee to the fullest  extent  permitted by applicable  law in effect on the
date  hereof  or as  such  laws  may  from  time to  time  be  amended.  Without
diminishing  the scope of the  indemnification  provided by this  Section 1, the
rights of indemnification of the Indemnitee provided hereunder shall include but
shall not be limited to those  rights  hereinafter  set  forth,  except  that no
indemnification shall be paid to the Indemnitee:

                           (a) on  account  of any  suit in  which  judgment  is
                  rendered  against the  Indemnitee for an accounting of profits
                  made from the purchase or sale by the Indemnitee of securities
                  of the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section  16(b) of
                  the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 and 

<PAGE>

                  amendments thereto or similar provisions of any federal, state
                  or local statutory law;

                           (b)  on account of the Indemnitee's  conduct which is
                  finally   adjudged  to  have  been  knowingly   fraudulent  or
                  deliberately dishonest, or to constitute willful misconduct;

                           (c)  to the extent expressly prohibited by applicable
                  law;

                           (d)  for  which  payment  is  actually  made  to  the
                  Indemnitee  under a valid and collectible  insurance policy or
                  under a valid  and  enforceable  indemnity  clause,  by-law or
                  agreement,  except in  respect of any  excess  beyond  payment
                  under such insurance, clause, by-law or agreement;

                           (e)  if  a  final   decision   by  a   court   having
                  jurisdiction   in  the  matter  shall   determine   that  such
                  indemnification is not lawful (and, in this respect,  both the
                  Company  and  the  Indemnitee   have  been  advised  that  the
                  Securities    and   Exchange    Commission    believes    that
                  indemnification  for  liabilities  arising  under the  federal
                  securities  laws is against  public policy and is,  therefore,
                  unenforceable  and that claims for  indemnification  should be
                  submitted to the appropriate court for adjudication); or

                           (f)  in  connection  with  any  proceeding  (or  part
                  thereof) initiated by the Indemnitee, or any proceeding by the
                  Indemnitee  against  the Company or its  directors,  officers,
                  employees    or   other    Indemnitees,    unless   (i)   such
                  indemnification  is expressly required to be made by law, (ii)
                  the proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors of the
                  Company,   (iii)  such  indemnification  is  provided  by  the
                  Company, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested
                  in the  Company  under  applicable  law,  or  (iv)  except  as
                  provided in Sections 11 and 12 hereof.

                  SECTION 2. Action or Proceeding  Other Than an Action by or in
the  Right  of  the   Company.   The   Indemnitee   shall  be  entitled  to  the
indemnification  rights  provided  in  this  Section  if  he  is a  party  or is
threatened to be made a party to any  threatened,  pending or completed  action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,  administrative or investigative in
nature, other than an action by or in the right of the Company, by reason of the
fact that he is or was a director,  officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the
Company,  or is or was  serving  at the  request of the  Company as a  director,
officer,  employee,  agent or fiduciary of any other entity,  including, but not
limited to, another  corporation,  partnership,  joint  venture,  trust or other
enterprise,  or by  reason  of  anything  done or not  done  by him in any  such
capacity.  Pursuant to this Section, the Indemnitee shall be indemnified against
all expenses (including attorneys' fees), costs, judgments, penalties, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
with such  action,  suit or  proceeding  (including,  but not  limited  to,  the
investigation,  defense or appeal  thereof),  if he acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the


                                       -2-



<PAGE>



best  interests  of the  Company,  and with  respect to any  criminal  action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

                  SECTION  3.  Actions  by or in the Right of the  Company.  The
Indemnitee  shall be entitled  to the  indemnification  rights  provided in this
Section  if he is a person who was or is a party or is  threatened  to be made a
party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding brought
by or in the right of the  Company to procure a judgment  in its favor by reason
of the fact that he is or was a director,  officer, employee, agent or fiduciary
of the  Company,  or is or  was  serving  at the  request  of the  Company  as a
director,  officer,  employee, agent or fiduciary of another entity,  including,
but not limited to,  another  corporation,  partnership,  joint venture or other
enterprise,  trust, or by reason of anything done or not done by him in any such
capacity.  Pursuant to this Section, the Indemnitee shall be indemnified against
all expenses  (including  attorneys' fees), costs and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably  incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding (including, but not limited to, the investigation,  defense or appeal
thereof) if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably  believed to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company; provided,  however, that
no such indemnification  shall be made in respect of any claim, issue, or matter
as to which the Indemnitee  shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company
unless  and only to the  extent  that  the  Court of  Chancery  of the  State of
Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was brought  shall  determine
upon application that,  despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all
the circumstances of the case, the Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably  entitled
to  indemnity  for such  expenses  and costs which the Court of Chancery or such
other court shall deem proper.

                  SECTION 4.  Indemnification for Costs, Charges and Expenses of
Successful Party. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, to the
extent that the  Indemnitee  has served as a witness on behalf of the Company or
has been successful,  on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any action, suit
or  proceeding  referred  to in  Sections  2 and 3 hereof,  or in defense of any
claim, issue or matter therein, including,  without limitation, the dismissal of
any action without prejudice, he shall be indemnified against all costs, charges
and expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him
in connection therewith.

                  SECTION  5.  Partial  Indemnification.  If the  Indemnitee  is
entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company
for some or a  portion  of the  expenses  (including  attorneys'  fees),  costs,
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
by him in connection with the  investigation,  defense,  appeal or settlement of
such suit,  action,  investigation  or  proceeding  described  in Section 2 or 3
hereof, but not, however, for all of the total amount thereof, the Company shall
nevertheless   indemnify  the  Indemnitee  for  the  portion  of  such  expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' fees), costs, judgments,  penalties,  fines and
amounts paid in settlement  actually and reasonably incurred by him to which the
Indemnitee is entitled.

                  SECTION 6.  Determination  of Entitlement to  Indemnification.
Upon written request by the Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to Section 2
or 3 hereof,  the entitlement of the Indemnitee to  indemnification  pursuant to
the terms of this  Agreement  shall be  determined  by the  following  person or
persons who shall be  empowered  to make such  determination:  (a) by a majority
vote of  Disinterested  Directors (as defined in Section 18 below),  even though
less  than a  quorum;  (b) if  there  are no  Disinterested  Directors,  or if a
majority of  Disinterested  Directors  so directs,  by  Independent  Counsel (as
defined in Section 18 below) in a written  opinion to the Board of Directors,  a
copy of which shall be delivered to the Indemnitee;  or (c) by the stockholders;
provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing,  following the occurrence
of a Change in  Control of the  Company  (as  defined in Section 18 below),  the
determination  as to  whether  or not the  Indemnitee  has  met  the  applicable
standard for indemnification set forth in Section 2 or 3 hereof,  which shall be
applicable, shall in all events be made by Independent Counsel. Such Independent
Counsel  shall  be  selected  by the  Board of  Directors  and  approved  by the
Indemnitee.  Upon failure of the Board to so select such Independent  Counsel or
upon failure of the Indemnitee to so approve,  such Independent Counsel shall be
selected by the  Chancellor of the State of Delaware or such other person as the
Chancellor  shall  designate  to make  such  selection.  Such  determination  of
entitlement  to  indemnification  shall be made  not  later  than 45 days  after
receipt by the Company of a written  request for  indemnification.  Such request
shall  include   documentation  or  information  which  is  necessary  for  such
determination and which is reasonably available to the Indemnitee.  Any costs or
expenses  (including  attorneys'  fees) incurred by the Indemnitee in connection
with his request for  indemnification  hereunder  shall be borne by the Company.
The  Company  hereby  indemnifies  and  agrees to hold the  Indemnitee  harmless
therefrom  irrespective of the outcome of the  determination of the Indemnitee's
entitlement to  indemnification.  If the person making such determination  shall
determine  that the Indemnitee is entitled to  indemnification  as part (but not
all) of the  application  for  indemnification,  such  person  shall  reasonably
prorate such partial indemnification among such claims, issues or matters.

                  SECTION 7. Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings. The
Secretary  of the  Company  shall,  promptly  upon  receipt of the  Indemnitee's
request for  indemnification,  advise in writing the Board of  Directors or such
other  person or persons  empowered  to make the  determination  as  provided in
Section 6 that the  Indemnitee has made such request for  indemnification.  Upon
making such request for indemnification,  the Indemnitee shall be presumed to be
entitled to  indemnification  hereunder and the Company shall have the burden of
proof in the making of any determination  contrary to such  presumption.  If the
person or persons so empowered to make such  determination  shall have failed to
make the requested  indemnification  within 45 days after receipt by the Company
of such request,  the requisite  determination of entitlement to indemnification
shall be  deemed  to have  been  made  and the  Indemnitee  shall be  absolutely
entitled  to such  indemnification,  absent  actual  and  material  fraud in the
request for indemnification.  The termination of any action, suit, investigation

or conviction,  or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent,  shall not,

of itself:  (a) create a  presumption  that the  Indemnitee  did not act in good
faith and in a manner  which he  reasonably  believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the Company,  and, with respect to any criminal  action or
proceeding, that the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct
was unlawful;  or (b) otherwise adversely affect the rights of the Indemnitee to
indemnification except as may be provided herein.

                  SECTION 8.  Advancement of Expenses and Costs.  All reasonable
expenses  and costs  incurred  by the  Indemnitee  (including  attorneys'  fees,
retainers and advances of  disbursements  required of the  Indemnitee)  shall be
paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action,  suit or
proceeding at the request of the Indemnitee within twenty days after the receipt
by the Company of a statement or statements from the Indemnitee  requesting such
advance or advances  from time to time.  The  Indemnitee's  entitlement  to such
expenses shall include those  incurred in connection  with any proceeding by the
Indemnitee  seeking an  adjudication  or award in  arbitration  pursuant to this
Agreement.  Such statement or statements shall reasonably  evidence the expenses
and costs  incurred  by him in  connection  therewith  and shall  include  or be
accompanied  by an  undertaking  by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such
amount if it is ultimately  determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be
indemnified  against such  expenses and costs by the Company as provided by this
Agreement or otherwise.

                  SECTION 9.   Remedies   of  the   Indemnitee   in   Cases   of
Determination  not to  Indemnify  or to  Advance  Expenses.  In the event that a
determination  is made that the  Indemnitee  is not entitled to  indemnification
hereunder or if payment has not been timely made  following a  determination  of
entitlement to indemnification  pursuant to Sections 6 and 7, or if expenses are
not advanced  pursuant to Section 8, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to a final
adjudication in an appropriate court of the State of Delaware or any other court
of competent jurisdiction of his entitlement to such indemnification or advance.
Alternatively,  the Indemnitee at his option may seek an award in arbitration to
be  conducted  by a single  arbitrator  pursuant  to the  rules of the  American
Arbitration  Association,  such award to be made within sixty days following the
filing  of the  demand  for  arbitration.  The  Company  shall  not  oppose  the
Indemnitee's  right to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration or any
other claim.  Such judicial  proceeding or arbitration shall be made de novo and
the Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of a determination (if so made)
that he is not entitled to indemnification. If a determination is made or deemed
to have been made  pursuant  to the terms of Section 6 or Section 7 hereof  that
the  Indemnitee  is entitled to  indemnification,  the Company shall be bound by
such  determination and is precluded from asserting that such  determination has
not been made or that the procedure by which such  determination was made is not
valid,  binding and enforceable.  The Company further agrees to stipulate in any
such court or before any such  arbitrator  that the  Company is bound by all the
provisions of this  Agreement and is precluded from making any assertions to the
contrary.  If the court or arbitrator  shall  determine  that the  Indemnitee is
entitled to any indemnification  hereunder, the Company shall pay all reasonable
expenses  (including  attorneys'  fees)  and  costs  actually  incurred  by  



                                       -5-

the  Indemnitee in connection  with such  adjudication  or award in  arbitration
(including, but not limited to, any appellant proceedings).

                  SECTION 10. Notification and Defense of Claim.  Promptly after
receipt by the Indemnitee of notice of the  commencement of any action,  suit or
proceeding,  the  Indemnitee  will, if a claim in respect  thereof is to be made
against the Company under this  Agreement,  notify the Company in writing of the
commencement thereof; but the omission to so notify the Company will not relieve
it from any liability  that it may have to the  Indemnitee  otherwise than under
this Agreement.  Notwithstanding  any other  provision of this  Agreement,  with
respect  to any such  action,  suit or  proceeding  as to which  the  Indemnitee
notifies the Company of the commencement thereof:

                           (a)  The  Company  will be  entitled  to  participate
                  therein at its own expense; and

                           (b)  Except as  otherwise  provided  in this  Section
                  10(b),  to the extent that it may wish,  the Company,  jointly
                  with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, shall be
                  entitled  to  assume  the  defense   thereof,   with   counsel
                  satisfactory to the Indemnitee.  After notice from the Company
                  to the  Indemnitee  of its  election  to so assume the defense
                  thereof,  the  Company  shall not be liable to the  Indemnitee
                  under  this   Agreement  for  any  legal  or  other   expenses
                  subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the
                  defense thereof other than reasonable  costs of  investigation
                  or as otherwise  provided below. The Indemnitee shall have the
                  right  to  employ  his own  counsel  in such  action,  suit or
                  proceeding,  but the fees and expense of such counsel incurred
                  after notice from the Company of its assumption of the defense
                  thereof shall be at the expense of the  Indemnitee  unless (i)
                  the   employment  of  counsel  by  the   Indemnitee  has  been
                  authorized  by the  Company,  (ii) the  Indemnitee  shall have
                  reasonably  concluded that there may be a conflict of interest
                  between the Company and the  Indemnitee  in the conduct of the
                  defense of such action or (iii) the Company  shall not in fact
                  have employed counsel to assume the defense of the action,  in
                  each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel  shall be
                  at the  expense  of the  Company.  The  Company  shall  not be
                  entitled  to  assume  the  defense  of  any  action,  suit  or
                  proceeding  brought  by or on behalf of the  Company  or as to
                  which the Indemnitee  shall have made the conclusion  provided
                  for in (ii) above.

                           (c) The Company  shall not be liable to indemnify the
                  Indemnitee  under  this  Agreement  for  any  amounts  paid in
                  settlement of any action or claim effected without its written
                  consent.  The Company  shall not settle any action or claim in
                  any manner that would impose any penalty or  limitation on the
                  Indemnitee without the Indemnitee's  written consent.  Neither
                  the  Company nor the  Indemnitee  will  unreasonably  withhold
                  their consent to any proposed settlement.

                  SECTION   11.   Other   Rights   to    Indemnification.    The
indemnification  and  advancement of expenses  (including  attorneys'  fees) and
costs  provided by this  Agreement  shall not be deemed  exclusive  of any other
rights to which the Indemnitee may now or in the future

be entitled  under any  provision  of the By-Laws,  agreement,  provision of the
Certificate  of   Incorporation   of  the  Company,   vote  of  stockholders  or
Disinterested Directors, provision of law or otherwise.

                  SECTION 12. Certain  Agreements of Indemnitee.  (i) Indemnitee
agrees to do all things reasonably requested by the Board of Directors to enable
the  Company  to  coordinate  Indemnitee's  defense  with,  if  applicable,  the
Company's defense,  provided,  however, that Indemnitee shall not be required to
take any action that would in any way  prejudice his or her defense or waive any
defense or position  available to him or her in connection with any action;  and
(ii)  Indemnitee  agrees to  cooperate  with the  Company  and its  counsel  and
maintain  any  confidences  revealed to him or her by the Company in  connection
with the Company's  defense of any action.  The Company agrees to cooperate with
Indemnitee and his or her counsel and maintain any confidences revealed to it by
Indemnitee in connection with Indemnitee's defense of any action.

                  SECTION  13.  Attorneys'  Fees and Other  Expenses  to Enforce
Agreement.  In the event that the  Indemnitee is subject to or intervenes in any
proceeding in which the validity or enforceability of this Agreement is at issue
or seeks an adjudication or award in arbitration to enforce his rights under, or
to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement, the Indemnitee, if he prevails
in whole  or in part in such  action,  shall be  entitled  to  recover  from the
Company and shall be indemnified by the Company  against any actual expenses for
attorneys' fees and disbursements reasonably incurred by him.

                  SECTION  14.  Duration  of  Agreement.  This  Agreement  shall
continue  until  and  terminate  upon the  later  of:  (a) ten  years  after the
Indemnitee  has ceased to occupy any of the positions or have any  relationships
described in Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement;  and (b) the final  termination
of all pending or threatened  actions,  suits,  proceedings or investigations to
which the  Indemnitee  may be  subject by reason of the fact that he is or was a
director,  officer,  employee,  agent or  fiduciary  of the Company or is or was
serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, agent or
fiduciary  of  any  other  entity,   including,  but  not  limited  to,  another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or by reason
of anything done or not done by him in any such  capacity.  The  indemnification
provided under this Agreement shall continue as to the Indemnitee even though he
may have ceased to be a director or officer of the Company. This Agreement shall
be binding  upon the Company and its  successors  and assigns and shall inure to
the  benefit  of  the  Indemnitee  and  his  spouse,  assigns,  heirs,  devises,
executors,  administrators  or  other  legal  representatives.  Nothing  in this
Agreement  shall confer upon the  Indemnitee the right to continue in the employ
of the Company or affect the right of the Company to terminate the  Indemnitee's
employment at any time in the sole  discretion  of the Company,  with or without
cause.

                  SECTION 15.  Severability.  If any  provision or provisions of
this Agreement shall be held invalid,  illegal or  unenforceable  for any reason
whatsoever,  (a) the  validity,  legality and  enforceability  of the  remaining
provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, all portions of any
paragraphs of this  Agreement  containing any such provision held to be invalid,
illegal  or  unenforceable,   that  are  not  themselves  invalid,   illegal  or
unenforceable)  shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and (b) to
the fullest  extent  possible,  the  provisions  of this  Agreement  (including,
without limitation,  all portions of any paragraph of this Agreement  containing
any such provision held to be invalid,  illegal or  unenforceable,  that are not
themselves invalid,  illegal or unenforceable)  shall be construed so as to give
effect  to the  intent  manifest  by the  provision  held  invalid,  illegal  or
unenforceable.

                  SECTION 16.  Identical  Counterparts.  This  Agreement  may be
executed in one or more  counterparts,  each of which shall for all  purposes be
deemed to be an original but all of which together shall  constitute one and the
same  Agreement.  Only one such  counterpart  signed by the party  against  whom
enforceability  is sought needs to be produced to evidence the existence of this
Agreement.

                  SECTION 17.  Headings.  The headings of the paragraphs of this
Agreement  are  inserted  for  convenience  only  and  shall  not be  deemed  to
constitute part of this Agreement or to affect the construction thereof.

                  Act of 1934,  as amended),  who is not currently a stockholder
                  of the  Company,  other  than a  trustee  or  other  fiduciary

                  Company or a corporation  owned  directly or indirectly by the
                  stockholders  of  the  Company  in   substantially   the  same

                  becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under
                  said  Act),  directly  or  indirectly,  of  securities  of the
                  Company  representing 20% or more of the total voting power of
                  the then  outstanding  shares of capital  stock of the Company
                  entitled to vote  generally in the election of directors  (the

                  years,  individuals,  who  at the  beginning  of  such  period
                  constitute the Board of Directors of the Company,  and any new

                  directors  then still in office who either were  directors  at
                  the  beginning of the period or whose  election or  nomination
                  for election was previously so approved,  cease for any reason
                  to constitute a majority thereof, or (iii) the stockholders of
                  the Company approve a merger or  consolidation  with any other
                  corporation,  other than a merger or consolidation which would

                  remaining  outstanding  or  by  being  converted  into  voting
                  securities of the surviving  entity) at least 80% of the total

                  the Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party, or
                  (ii) any other party to the  action,  suit,  investigation  or
                  proceeding   giving  rise  to  a  claim  for   indemnification
                  hereunder.    Notwithstanding   the   foregoing,    the   term
                  "Independent  Counsel" shall not include any person who, under
                  the  applicable   standards  of   professional   conduct  then
                  prevailing,  would have a conflict of interest in representing
                  either the Company or the Indemnitee in an action to determine
                  the   Indemnitee's   right  to   indemnification   under  this
                  Agreement.

                  SECTION   19.   Modification   and  Waiver.   No   supplement,
modification  or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in
writing  by both  parties  hereto.  No waiver of any of the  provisions  of this
Agreement shall be deemed or shall  constitute a waiver of any other  provisions
hereof  (whether or not similar)  nor shall such waiver  constitute a continuing
waiver.

                  SECTION 20. Notices. All notices,  requests,  demands or other
communications  hereunder  shall be in writing  and shall be deemed to have been
duly given if (i) delivered by hand or courier, on the date of delivery, or (ii)
