ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL OVERVIEW


   Integrated  Living  Communities,  Inc.  (the  "Company"  or  "ILC")  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  23  assisted  living  and  other  senior  housing
facilities  containing  2,466  beds in 10  states.  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 assisted living
facilities  per year in each of the next three years.  As part of this strategy,
ILC is currently  developing 29 new assisted living facilities,  of which 20 are
scheduled to open in 1997.


INDUSTRY BACKGROUND

   Assisted  living has emerged 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 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.

                                2




<PAGE>
   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 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.

COMPANY 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 assisted living facilities per year
in each of the next three years. The Company is currently developing 29 assisted
living  facilities.  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. 

                                3




<PAGE>

   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
has developed, in conjunction with three developers with which the Company has a
relationship,  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  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 ACQUISITIONS; MANAGEMENT SERVICES

   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  intends to  develop  assisted  living  facilities
generally  ranging in size from 35 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 range from  approximately  $68,000 to
$83,000 per unit,  depending on local variations in land and construction costs,
with an overall average development cost of approximately  $72,000 per unit. The
Company estimates that it will require approximately six months from the date of
land acquisition to develop its 40 unit facilities and approximately nine months
from the date of land acquisition to develop its 80 unit 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,  and currently has relationships  with four 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.

   The Company is currently  pursuing the  development of 29 new assisted living
facilities, 20 of which are scheduled to open in 1997, and expects to develop 20
new facilities in each of 1998 and 1999. However, 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 

                                4




<PAGE>

schedule is delayed,  the Company's  business,  operating  results and financial
condition could be adversely affected.  In addition,  the Company estimates that
it will take  approximately  six to 12  months  for a newly  developed  assisted
living facilities to achieve a stabilized level of occupancy (i.e., an occupancy
level in excess of 90%) and that each new facility  will incur  start-up  losses
for at least eight months after  commencing  operations.  Because,  however,  of
uncertainties   associated  with  development  of  assisted  living  facilities,
including zoning and other governmental  limitations,  not all of the facilities
currently  under  development  may in fact be  developed,  and  there  can be no
assurance that the Company will be successful in meeting scheduled opening dates
for the facilities which are developed.


   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  $68,000 to $83,000 per unit,  although the cost of any particular
facility may vary considerably based on a variety of site-specific factors.

   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 three of 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 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,  because only minor  modifications
will be required at each location to site adapt the prototype; (b) ensure better
construction quality control,  because the Company's third-party developers will
gain  experience  by  constructing  the  same  facility  design,  rather  than a
different  facility design,  at each site; and (c) save time and money with bulk
purchasing  of  materials  and fixtures at a lower cost,  because each  facility
will, for example,  utilize the same kitchen equipment and windows. In addition,
once a development site is identified,  the Company will be able to move quickly
to obtain zoning  approvals,  since only limited  architectural  and engineering
work will be required.  All of these  factors  should  contribute  to faster and
cost-effective   development  and  construction   schedules.   See  "--  Company
Strategy." 

   The Company has very limited  experience  in developing  new assisted  living
facilities  and  its  ability  to  achieve  growth  through  development  of new
facilities will be dependent to a great extent upon the experience and abilities
of the third-party developers with which the Company has established relation-

                                5




<PAGE>

ships.  To date,  the Company has opened only one newly  developed  facility and
there can be no assurance that it will be successful in opening more facilities.
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 20 newly  developed  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
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 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.

   Acquisitions.  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.

   The  Company's   growth  strategy  depends   significantly   upon  the  rapid
acquisition  (through  purchase,  lease  or  management  contract)  of  existing
assisted  living  facilities  and  other  properties  that  it  believes  it can
efficiently reposition as assisted living facilities.  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 numbers  factors,  including the Company's
ability  to  identify  suitable  acquisition  candidates,  competition  for such
acquisitions,  the  ability of the  Company to obtain  financing  on  acceptable
terms,  the purchase price,  the financial  performance of the facilities  after
acquisition  and  the  ability  of the  Company  to  integrate  effectively  the
operations  of the  acquired  facilities.  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.

   Management  Agreements.  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. The Company currently manages four assisted living
facilities  with an aggregate of 442 beds.  The Company is  responsible  for all
personnel,  marketing,  nursing, resident care and dietary services,  accounting
and data  processing  reports and services for these  facilities at the facility
owner's expense.  The facility owner is required to pay for all facility 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 the gross  revenue 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 three years, with
the right to 

                                6




<PAGE>

renew under certain  circumstances.  The management agreements expire at various
times between October 1997 and July 1999, although all can be terminated earlier
under certain  circumstances.  Certain of the management  agreements provide the
Company  with the 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
develop or acquire a facility.


   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  or that  such
strategy will ultimately be profitable. If the Company is unable to implement is
rapid  growth  strategy  or to manage  its  growth  effectively,  its  business,
operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.

RESIDENT 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
groundskeeping  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
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

                                7




<PAGE>
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.

                                8




<PAGE>
   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.  Additionally,  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 "-- Executive Officers of the Company."

   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.  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

                                9




<PAGE>
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.  Approximately
99% of the revenues from the Company's  assisted living  facilities were derived
from private-pay sources in 1996. 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.  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.

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.  In  general,  regulatory  and  other  barriers  to
competitive   entry  into  the  assisted   living  industry  are  not  presently
substantial.  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.   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 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.  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.

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 

                                10




<PAGE>
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.

   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.


   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  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 recover the costs of the Company's
assisted  living  services.  Depending  in part on the results of the  Company's
acquisition   and   development   program,   net  revenues   from   governmental
reimbursement  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.

   Twelve of the  Company's  nursing  beds are  currently  certified  to receive
benefits as a skilled nursing  facility  provider 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

                                11




<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 limit 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.

EMPLOYEES


   As of February 28, 1997, the Company had  approximately  1,100 employees,  of
which 61 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.


   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. Further, the Company's ability to attract and retain

                                12




<PAGE>
management  personnel for its facilities  will be critical to the success of the
Company's  rapid  growth  strategy.  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.


COMPANY HISTORY

GENERAL

   The Company  was formed in  November  1995 as a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of
Integrated  Health  Services,  Inc.  ("IHS") to operate the assisted  living and
other senior housing facilities owned,  leased and managed by IHS. Following the
Company's  formation,  IHS transferred to the Company as a capital  contribution
its ownership  interest in the Waterside and the Homestead at Denton 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  Retirement
Community  and  Heron's  Run  facilities.  IHS also  transferred  to the Company
agreements to manage nine facilities (of which four are currently managed).  The
Company's principal executive offices are located at Bernwood Centre,  24850 Old
41 Road,  Suite 10, Bonita Springs,  Florida 34135,  and its telephone number is
941-947-7200.

   The Company completed its initial public offering in October 1996. The effect
of this  offering was to reduce IHS'  ownership of the Company from 100% to 37%.
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 and principal
stockholder 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 nursing facilities, including the skilled nursing facilities located
in the  condominiums in which the Company's  Treemont and Heron's Run 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.  IHS, Dr. Elkins and Mr.
Cirka  beneficially  own in  aggregate  approximately  40.3%  of  the  Company's
outstanding Common Stock and IHS is the Company's largest stockholder.

ACQUISITION HISTORY

   In January 1989, IHS acquired a leasehold  interest in the Dallas at Treemont
facility, a skilled nursing facility with a 251 bed 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
Heron's Run skilled nursing and assisted living facility and a 60.5% partnership
interest in each of the Waterside and Lakehouse West  continuing care retirement
communities.  Effective  October 31, 1995,  IHS exchanged its 60.5%  partnership
interest in the Lakehouse  West facility for the 39.5%  partnership  interest in
the Waterside  facility which it did not own. The Company received the Waterside
facility  from IHS as a capital  contribution  and  leased the  assisted  living
portion of the  Heron's  Run  facility  from IHS until  June 1,  1996,  when the
Company  and IHS  entered  into a  condominium  agreement  for the  Heron's  Run
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 at Denton, a 50 bed 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 August 1994, IHS entered into separate  facility  operating leases for the
311 bed Shores and 95 bed 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. The loss of
these facilities, which accounted for approximately 27% and 39% of the Company's
revenues,  and approximately  19% and 40% of the Company's  earnings before loss
from impairment of long-lived assets, income taxes, and corporate administrative
and general expense in the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively,
could have a  material  adverse  effect on the  Company's  business,  results of
operations and financial  condition.  There can be no assurance that IHS will be
able to meet such tests.

   In December 1995, IHS acquired  Carrington  Pointe, a 172 bed congregate care
and assisted  living  facility.  Prior to the  acquisition,  IHS had managed the
facility  under a  management  agreement  with the prior  owner.  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 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 July 1996 the Company  acquired a leasehold  interest in the  Homestead of
Garden  City  and  Homestead  Wichita  facilities  from one of its  third  party
developers.

   In August  1996 the  Company  acquired  the Cabot  Pointe  facility  for $2.8
million with funds  borrowed  from IHS. The Company sold and leased the facility
back from a real estate investment trust in October 1996.

   In October 1996, the Company  acquired the Terrace Gardens facility for $12.2
million with proceeds from its initial public offering.

   In January 1997, the Company  acquired four  facilities in Virginia for $15.8
million with funds borrowed through a bridge loan from NationsBank.  NationsBank
provided this loan in  contemplation  of the completion of a senior secured line
of credit.  See "Item 7.  Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial
Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources."

   In  February  1997,  the Company  acquired a  leasehold  interest in the West
Columbia facility.

   In March 1997, the Company acquired  leasehold  interests in the Brantley and
Jaylene facilities.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES


   The Company  currently  operates 23 assisted living  facilities in 10 states,
containing 2,466 beds.  Eleven of the facilities are owned, 8 are leased and the
remaining 4 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.


   The following  table  presents  certain  information  regarding the Company's
owned and leased facilities as of March 14, 1997.

   (1) Represents date operations commenced by IHS for facilities operated
prior to November 1995. See "Item 1. Business -- Company History."

   (2) 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. 

                                17




<PAGE>

   A significant number of the 52 properties  currently  operated,  managed,  or
under  development  are located in  California,  Louisiana and Texas (7,8 and 11
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. 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.


ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

   The Company is involved in various legal  proceedings  that are incidental to
the  conduct of its  business.  The  Company is not  involved  in any pending or
threatened  legal  proceedings  which the Company  believes could  reasonably be
expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition,
liquidity or results of operations.

   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.

the Company, contractual restrictions and general business conditions.

                FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


   Statements  in this  Annual  Report on Form  10-K  concerning  the  Company's
business  outlook or future  economic  performance;  anticipated  profitability,
revenues,  expenses or other financial items; and product line growth,  together
with  other  statements  that are not  historical  facts,  are  "forward-looking
statements"   as  that  term  is  defined   under   Federal   Securities   Laws.
Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors
which could cause actual results to differ  materially from those stated in such
statements.  Such risks,  uncertainties and factors include, but are not limited
to, the Company's rapid growth strategy,  anticipated operating losses,  limited
development  experience,  need for substantial  additional capital,  substantial
debt and lease  obligations,  competition,  government  regulation  and  general
economic  conditions,  as well as other risks detailed in the Company's  filings
with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission,  including this Annual Report on
Form 10-K.


OVERVIEW

   The Company  currently  operates 23 assisted  living and other senior housing
facilities  containing  2,466  beds in 10  states.  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 assisted living
facilities per year in each of the next three years.  Approximately 99% of ILC's
revenues from its owned and leased  facilities in 1996 were derived from private
pay sources.  The Company's historical results of operations are not necessarily
indicative  of  the  Company's  future  financial  performance  because  of  the
Company's prior  operation as a wholly-owned  subsidiary of IHS and its strategy
to significantly expand its operating base over the next three years.


   The  Company's  growth  strategy   focuses  on  the  rapid   acquisition  and
development of assisted living facilities. The Company currently expects to open
20 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  (i.e.,  an occupancy level in excess of 90%). As a result the Company
expects to incur  start-up  losses  through 1997 and into 1998.  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  conditions  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.

   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 20 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 of its initial public 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 

                                21




<PAGE>

and its  anticipated  operating  losses  at least  through  the end of the first
quarter of 1998. There can be no assurance, however, that additional capital, if
needed,  will be available at that time or that the Company will not be required
to seek additional capital earlier. 

   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.


   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. 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
would be acceptable to the Company. Any payment or other default could cause the
lender to foreclose upon the facility 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.

   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 1996 was 95.1% of total  revenues.  Resident fees  typically are
paid monthly by residents, their families or other responsible parties. 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 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 1996
accounted for the remaining 4.9% of total revenue,  consists of management  fees
and other services  provided to residents.  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.

   From its  inception in November 1995 through its initial  public  offering in
October  1996,  the  Company  was  operated  as  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of
Integrated  Health Services,  Inc.  Through  September 30, 1996 IHS provided all
required financial,  legal, accounting,  human resources and information systems
services to the Company, and satisfied all the Company's capital requirements in
excess of internally  generated  funds. IHS charged the Company a flat fee of 6%
of total revenue for these  services,  except that with respect to the Waterside
facility prior to November 1995, IHS and the minority owner of the facility each
charged ILC a fee of 4.5% of monthly service fee revenue for these services. The
Company  estimates that the cost of obtaining  these services from third parties
would have been significantly higher 

                                22




<PAGE>
than  the fee  charged  by IHS.  In  addition,  IHS  provides  certain  building
maintenance,  housekeeping,  emergency  call and resident  meal  services to the
Company's Treemont, Vintage and West Palm Beach facilities.


   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  approximately  99% of its revenues from its
owned and leased  facilities  from  private pay sources  during  1996.  However,
depending in part on the results of future  acquisitions,  this percentage could
change 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.

</TABLE>

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995

   Revenues  increased  from  $16.3  million  in 1995 to $24.2  million in 1996,
representing  a 48.9%  increase.  Substantially  all of the increase in revenues
resulted  from  the  acquisition  of one  facility  in  December  1995  and five
facilities  in  1996.  Average  occupancy  of the  Company's  owned  and  leased
facilities during the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 was 91%. Management
services and other revenue  increased  from $1.1 million in 1995 to $1.2 million
in 1996, representing a 3.1% increase.

   Community  operations  expense  increased from $11.2 million in 1995 to $15.5
million  in  1996,  representing  a  38.1%  increase.  Substantially  all of the
increase in community  operations  expense resulted from the addition of the six
facilities during 1995 and 1996. Community operations expense as a percentage of
revenue  decreased  from 69.1% of  revenues in 1995 to 64.1% of revenues in 1996
primarily  due to the improved  operating  results of facilities in operation in
both periods.

                                23


<PAGE>

   Corporate  administrative  and general expense increased from $1.0 million in
1995 to $3.9 million in 1996, representing a 286.3% increase.  Substantially all
of the increase in corporate  administrative  and general expense  resulted from
the opening of the corporate office in Florida. Prior to September 30, 1996, IHS
had  provided  all  of the  corporate  services  for  the  Company  for a fee of
approximately 6% of revenue. This arrangement was terminated in October 1996 and
now the Company provides all of its own corporate resources.

   Rent   increased  from  $2.4  million  in  1995  to  $2.6  million  in  1996,
representing a 7.6% increase.  The increase in rent expense  primarily  resulted
from the  leasing  of three  facilities  during  1996  partially  offset  by the
purchase of two facilities that were previously leased.  Rent as a percentage of
revenues  decreased  from 14.9% in 1995 to 10.8% in 1996 due to the  purchase of
facilities  previously  leased in  addition to the  purchase  of two  facilities
during 1995 and 1996. 

   Depreciation and amortization expense increased from $415,000 in 1995 to $1.2
million in 1996,  representing a 194.4%  increase.  The increase in depreciation
and  amortization  expense  primarily  resulted  from  the  acquisition  of  new
facilities  and  facilities  that were  previously  leased during 1995 and 1996.
Depreciation and amortization  increased as a percentage of revenue from 2.6% to
5.0%  due  to the  acquisition  of  new  facilities  and  facilities  that  were
previously leased during 1995 and 1996.


   Earnings  (loss) before income taxes and minority  interest  increased from a
loss of $3.9 million in 1995 to earnings of $727,000 in 1996.  This increase was
primarily  due to  income  from  1995  and  1996  acquisitions,  the  loss  from
impairment of  long-lived  assets in 1995,  partially  offset by the increase in
corporate administrative and general costs. 

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


   Revenue  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 at Denton facility on April 1,
1994.  Average occupancy of the Company's owned and leased facilities during the
year ended  December  31,  1995 was 91% as compared to 80% 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.

   Community  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 at Denton and The Shores  facilities.  Community
operations  expense as a percentage of revenue  decreased from 70.9% 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.

   Corporate  administrative and general expense increased from $726,000 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  at  Denton  and  The  Shores
facilities.  Corporate  administrative  and general  expenses as a percentage of
revenues remained constant in both periods at 6.2% of revenues.

   Rent   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.  Rent 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.

   Depreciation  and  amortization  expense  increased  from $369,000 in 1994 to
$415,000 in 1995,  representing a 12.4%  increase.  The increase in depreciation
and amortization  expense primarily  resulted from the addition of the Homestead
at  Denton  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 its
Waterside  facility,  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 $5.1 million 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 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.


   Earnings  (loss) before  income taxes and minority  interest  decreased  from
earnings  of $830,000 in 1994 to loss of $3.9  million 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.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


   At December  31,  1996,  the Company  had a net  working  capital  deficit of
$1,349,000 compared to a deficit of $315,000 at December 31, 1995.

   On October 9, 1996, the Company  completed its initial public  offering.  The
Company  issued 2.8 million  shares and Integrated  Health  Services  issued 1.4
million  shares  at  $8  per  share.  The  net  proceeds  to  the  Company  were
approximately  $19.1 million;  the net proceeds to IHS were approximately  $10.4
million. IHS continues to hold 37% of the outstanding shares of the Company. The
Company  used the  proceeds  of the  offering to  purchase  the Terrace  Gardens
facility and to repay certain indebtedness to IHS.

   In October 1996,  the Company  borrowed $3.4 million from IHS. The note bears
interest  at 14% and  will be  repaid  over 24  equal  monthly  installments  of
principal plus interest beginning on December 2, 1996.

   The Company has  obtained a  commitment  (the  "Financing  Commitment")  from
Health Care Property Investors,  Inc. ("HCPI"),  a real estate investment trust,
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 HCPI and will lease
each New  Facility  and  financed  Existing  Facility  from HCPI  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.  A
$200,000  deposit  (the  "Expense  Deposit"),  to ensure  the  payment of HCPI'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 HCPI and  included  in the  development
agreement.  Total Construction Cost (as defined) will equal land cost plus total
actual  construction  costs,  one percent of Maximum Cost  (accrued as a cost by
HCPI),  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 HCPI equal to $1,550 per month (subject to reduction) and an allowance
for HCPI's cost of money at 1.5% over the Bank of New York prime rate.  The cost
of overruns, if any, including HCPI's carrying cost on overruns,  are to be paid
by the Company.  HCPI 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

                                25




<PAGE>
paid to an unrelated  developer,  up to a maximum of 5% of Maximum Cost. IHS has
agreed to guaranty  certain of the Company's  obligations  to HCPI in connection
with the development of facilities,  except that IHS is not required to guaranty
such obligations as long as the Company  maintains  stockholders'  equity or net
worth in excess of $55  million  and the Common  Stock is  publicly  traded on a
national securities exchange or the Nasdaq National Market.


   HCPI will pay fair  market  value,  based on an  appraisal,  to  purchase  an
Existing  Facility.  All leases will be "triple net" (i.e.,  where the lessee is
obligated  to pay, in  addition to rent,  all taxes,  repairs and  insurance  in
respect of the  facility) and HCPI will have the right to a higher lease rate on
facilities  located in states that tax real estate investment trust 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 base 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  business  days  prior  to lease
commencement.  The base rent under New Facility leases will equal the base lease
rate  multiplied  by the  lesser of Total  Construction  Cost or  Maximum  Cost.
Beginning  in the second year of the lease,  annual rent will be increased by an
amount equal to the annual change in the consumer price index  multiplied by the
prior year's total rent. In no event will the rent increase 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 rent increase  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 four months total
lease payments to secure  acquisition,  development and lease  obligations.  All
leases   under   the   Financing   Commitment   will  be   cross-defaulted   and
cross-collateralized and all leases between HCPI and a subsidiary of the Company
will be  guaranteed  by the Company.  The Company will be obligated to reimburse
HCPI 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.

   In October 1996 the Company sold the Cabot Pointe  facility to, and leased it
back from, HCPI for $2.7 million under the Financing  Commitment.  In March 1997
the  Company  leased  the  Brantley  facility  from  HCPI  under  the  Financing
Commitment.

   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 $100,000 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

                                26




<PAGE>

worth of $55 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.

   In  February  and  March of 1997 the  Company  leased  the  Jaylene  and West
Columbia facilities, respectively, from Capstone.

   In February 1997, the Company received  commitment  letters from NationsBank,
AmSouth,  and SouthTrust for a total $50 million senior secured revolving credit
facility.  Under the senior secured  revolving credit facility,  the Company can
borrow up to the lesser of 75% of the appraised value of the facilities  secured
in the  line  or six  times  the  total  EBITDAR  (as  defined)  of the  secured
facilities.  The facility  will bear  interest at a rate between  libor plus 225
basis  points  and libor plus 300 basis  points and have an initial  term of two
years.  Facilities  may be put in and  pulled  out of the line at the  Company's
discretion  as long as the  outstanding  balance  does not exceed the  available
borrowings  (calculated as discussed  above).  The proposed  credit  facility is
subject to completion of definitive documentation, and there can be no assurance
that the Company will obtain this facility on the proposed  terms,  on different
terms, or at all.

   In anticipation of closing the above mentioned facility, NationsBank provided
the Company with a $15.8 million  bridge loan to close the  acquisition  of four
facilities  in  February  1997.  The loan  matures  on April 29,  1997 and bears
interest at a floating rate of libor plus 300 basis points. The Company will pay
interest  only  until  maturity  and  expects  to  refinance  the loan  with the
revolving credit facility discussed above.

   The Company intends to use the NationsBank line to fund future  acquisitions.
However, under the facility, the Company may borrow up to $5 million for working
capital  purposes.  The  NationsBank  line is  intended to enable the Company to
complete  acquisitions  without long financing  delays.  Once the acquisition is
closed,  the Company will seek longer term  financing  for the  facility  either
through a mortgage or lease.  Although  there can be no assurance such long-term
financing will be available on acceptable terms or at all. 

   Net cash provided by operating activities was $4.8 million for the year ended
December 31, 1996 as compared with $2.4 million for the year ended  December 31,
1995. Net cash from operations  increased primarily due to improved cash flow at
existing facilities,  acquisitions  subsequent to January 1, 1994, and increases
in entrance fees received during 1996.

   Net cash  provided by  financing  activities  was $18.8  million for the year
ended  December  31,  1996 as  compared  to ($1.8)  million  for the year  ended
December 31,  1995.  The increase  was  primarily  due to the proceeds  from the
Company's  initial public  offering in October 1996 and net borrowings  from IHS
during 1996.


   Net cash used in investing  activities  was $19.5  million for the year ended
December  31, 1996 as compared to $1.0  million for the year ended  December 31,
1995.  The increase  was  primarily  due to the purchase of the Terrace  Gardens
facility  and  required  cash outlays to  implement  the  Company's  development
program in 1996.

   The Company has agreed to guaranty the indebtedness on two development  sites
for one of its developers. There currently is no balance outstanding relating to
these two sites. However, the maximum amount of the guarantee on these two sites
is $4 million.

   The Company  currently has employment  agreements  with three of its officers
which provide annual base salaries aggregating $665,000.

                         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 (the Company) as of December 31, 1995
and 1996, and the related consolidated  statements of operations,  stockholders'
equity  and cash  flows for each of the  years in the  three-year  period  ended
December  31,   1996.   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  as of December  31, 1995 and 1996 and the
results  of their  operations  and their cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                        December 31, 1994, 1995, and 1996

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

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

   In November 1995,  Integrated Living  Communities,  Inc. (ILC or the Company)
was formed through a corporate reorganization whereby the assets and liabilities
of the  Integrated  Living  Communities  Division  (the  Division) of Integrated
Health  Services,  Inc. (IHS or the Parent  Company) were  transferred or leased
from IHS  subsidiaries to ILC and its  subsidiaries.  ILC was formerly  Kingsley
Place  Retirement,  Inc.  until its present name was adopted in January 1996. In
October 1996,  the Company  completed its initial  public  offering of 2,800,000
shares of common stock. This offering reduced IHS' ownership of ILC from 100% to
37%.  The  consolidated   financial   statements  represent  the  operations  of
Integrated  Living  Communities  as a wholly  owned  subsidiary  of IHS  through
October 1996 and as an independent  public company  subsequent to the completion
of the initial public offering.


   Three of the Company's  facilities  are located on campuses  containing  both
assisted-living  facilities and  skilled-nursing  facilities which share certain
operating  expenses.  Prior  to June 1,  1996,  the  facilities  were  owned  by
subsidiaries  of IHS and leased to the Company (see note 4).  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 2. For  periods  through  May 31,  1996  allocations  of various  operating
expenses  were 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 6).  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. 

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.  Security  deposits on units
rented on a month to month basis are presented as current liabilities.


   Residents of the Waterside  Retirement  Estates facility generally enter 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 deposits and presented as long-term
liabilities.  The  remaining  amount of the entrance  fees is  accounted  for as
deferred revenue under the caption 

                                35




<PAGE>
              INTEGRATED LIVING COMMUNITIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                                  (Continued)


"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  $679,319  in 1994,  $680,409  in 1995,  and
$812,187 in 1996.

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....................  3 - 10 years
           Leasehold improvements.......  Term of the lease


   The Company  capitalizes  costs  associated  with acquiring  assisted  living
facilities and related interests therein. Pre-acquisition costs represent direct
costs of the  investigation  and  negotiation  of the  acquisition  of operating
facilities;  indirect  and  general  expenses  related  to such  activities  are
expensed as incurred.  Pre-construction costs represent direct costs incurred to
secure control of the development  site.  Pre-acquisition  and  pre-construction
costs  are  transferred  to  construction  in  progress  and  depreciable  asset
categories when the related tasks are completed.


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 until the completion of the initial public  offering in
October 1996; however,  under SFAS 109 the current and deferred tax expense were
allocated among the members of the IHS controlled  corporate group including the
Company and its subsidiaries. Subsequent to the completion of the initial public
offering in October  1996,  the Company will file its own  consolidated  federal
income tax return.


   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. Prior to the Company's initial public
offering, a cash management facility was provided by the Parent Company, whereby
the  Company's   operating  cash  balances  of  the  facilities  were  generally
transferred to a centralized  account and applied to reduce  additional  paid-in
capital.  The  Company's  cash  needs  for  operating  and other  purposes  were
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
was reflected in the cash and cash  equivalents  account as of December 31, 1994
and  1995.  Subsequent  to  the  initial  public  offering,  this  facility  was
discontinued and the Company retained all excess cash from operations. 

                                36

                                  (Continued)


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  through  October 9, 1996
retroactively  reflect the stock split and related  surrender  of common  shares
referred to in note 9.

STOCK OPTIONS

   The Company applies APB No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting
for its stock options. No compensation expense has been recognized in
connection with its stock options.


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, accounts payable, refundable security deposits 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.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

   Certain  reclassifications have been made to the 1995 amounts to conform with
the 1996 presentation.


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 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 asset to its estimated  fair value.  Estimated  fair
value is determined  through an evaluation of recent  financial  performance and
projected  discounted  cash  flows of its  facilities  using  standard  industry
valuation techniques, including the use of independent appraisals 

                                37




<PAGE>
              INTEGRATED LIVING COMMUNITIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                                  (Continued)

when considered necessary. If an asset tested for recoverability was acquired in
a business  combination  accounted for by using the purchase method, the related
goodwill is included as part of the  carrying  value and  evaluated as described
above  in  determining  the  recoverability  of that  asset.  Recoverability  is
determined  by  estimating  the  projected  undiscounted  cash flows,  excluding
interest, of the related business activities.

   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
the affected assets is allocated over their 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.

   Prior to adoption of SFAS No. 121 in 1995, the Company performed its analyses
of  impairment  of  long-lived   assets  by   consideration   of  the  projected
undiscounted cash flows on an entity-wide  basis,  except for goodwill for which
the policy is unchanged.

   The effect of the  adoption of SFAS No. 121 in  December  1995  required  the
Company to perform this analysis on a facility-by-facility  basis. This resulted
in the  recognition of a loss on impairment of long-lived  assets (see note 11).
If the  facility-by-facility  analysis had been adopted prior to December  1995,
the Company may have incurred the loss on impairment of long-lived  assets prior
to December 1995. 

(2) BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

   During the  three-year  period ended  December  31, 1996,  IHS or the Company
acquired nine of the twelve  assisted-living  and other senior living facilities
owned or leased by the Company which are included in the consolidated  financial
statements  at December 31, 1996.  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 bed  assisted-living
facility.  The Company  leased the assisted  living portion of the facility from
IHS from  December 1, 1993 through  June 1, 1996.  Effective  June 1, 1996,  the
Company  obtained a condominium  interest in the assisted living portion of this
facility. The facility was renamed Heron's Run in 1996. 

   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,  effective  October 31, 1995 an IHS  subsidiary
became  the sole owner of  Lakehouse  East (now  known as  Waterside  Retirement
Estates)  and the  former  minority  partners  became the sole  partners  of the
partnership which is the sole owner of Lakehouse West.

   The financial statements have been presented including the Company's interest
in Lakehouse East and excluding the operations of Lakehouse  West. The following
represents   the  summarized   financial   information  of  the  Lakehouse  West
partnership  entity  which  is  not  included  in  the  consolidated   financial
statements of the Company (in thousands)

1994 ACQUISITIONS

   On March 18, 1994,  IHS acquired the Homestead at Denton  facility,  a 50 bed
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 311 bed The
Shores and 95 bed  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 4.)


1995 ACQUISITIONS

   On December 15, 1995, IHS acquired  Carrington  Pointe,  a 172 bed 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.


1996 ACQUISITIONS

   On January 29,  1996,  IHS  acquired  the Vintage  Healthcare  Center,  which
contained a 110 bed skilled nursing center and a 106 bed assisted living center.
The Company  leased the assisted  living  portion from IHS from January 29, 1996
through June 1, 1996. Effective June 1, 1996, the Company obtained a condominium
interest in the assisted living portion of the facility from IHS.

   Effective  June 1, 1996,  the  Company  and an IHS  subsidiary  entered  into
separate  condominium  agreements and shared services agreements for the Heron's
Run, 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'
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 Heron's Run,  $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.  The shared services agreements between the Company and
IHS  with  respect  to  these  facilities  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 

                                39

                                  (Continued)

these facilities 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 share the
services of the executive  director;  the Company  reimburses IHS for 30% of the
executive director's salary, benefits and other expenses.

   Effective  July 1, 1996,  the  Company  entered  into a lease  agreement  for
Homestead  of Garden City,  a 46 bed  assisted  living  facility in Garden City,
Kansas.  Effective July 17, 1996, the Company entered into a lease agreement for
Homestead of Wichita,  a 46 bed  assisted  living  facility  located in Wichita,
Kansas.  The initial term of each lease is 15 years with three five-year renewal
options. Annual rent under each lease is $287,500, subject to increases based on
the consumer price index. (See Note 4).


   The  Company   acquired  the  Cabot  Pointe   facility  in  August  1996  for
approximately  $2.8 million with funds  borrowed  from IHS. The Company sold and
leased the facility back from  Healthcare  Property  Investors,  Inc.  (HCPI) in
October  for $2.7  million.  The  Company  recognized  a loss of  $62,500 on the
transaction  relating to closing  costs on the original  purchase.  This loss is
included in the operating expenses of the Company.

   Effective  October 9, 1996, the Company acquired  Terrace Gardens  Healthcare
Center,  a 317 unit skill  nursing and assisted  living  facility.  The purchase
price was $12.2 million.  The Company financed the transaction from the proceeds
of its initial public offering.


   The following unaudited pro forma statements of operations  information gives
effect to the 1995 and 1996 acquisition  transactions  described above as though
they had occurred on January 1, 1995, after giving effect to 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 during these years.  In addition,  the pro
forma information entitled "1996 including subsequent acquisitions" gives effect
to the acquisitions described above and the acquisitions  subsequent to December
31, 1996 discussed in note 13, as if such  acquisitions  had occurred on January
1, 1996, after giving effect to similar adjustments as referred to above.

   The Company makes advances to contractors  and developers in connection  with
the  Company's  development  and  construction  of assisted  living  facilities.
Development and construction  advances under development services agreements and
non-recourse  revolving  credit note and security  agreements  secured solely by
real estate of developers are classified as pre-construction and construction in
progress  in the  balance  sheet.  At  December  31,  1996,  the  Company had 19
facilities in the  pre-construction  stage and 10 facilities under construction.
The Company has commitments to make advances under the aforementioned agreements
until such time as the developer  obtains  construction  financing.  The Company
estimates  the  outstanding  amount  of  this  commitment  to  be  approximately
$5,700,000 at December 31, 1996. Under certain circumstances,  the developer may
repay the Company's advances and enter into a lease or management agreement with
the Company with respect to some or all of the facilities.

   The Company has agreed to guaranty the indebtedness on two development  sites
for one of its developers. There is currently no balance outstanding relating to
these two sites. However, the maximum amount of the guarantee on these two sites
is $4,000,000.

(4) LEASES

   Prior to June 1, 1996, the Company had leased five assisted-living facilities
from IHS, and at December 31, 1996,  leased two assisted living  facilities from
IHS.  With respect to the Heron's Run,  Treemont,  and Vintage  facilities,  IHS
subsidiaries  own the  premises  of both  skilled  nursing and  assisted  living
facilities, operate the respective skilled nursing facilities, and prior to June
1, 1996 leased the  assisted  living  facilities  to the  Company.  Rent expense
included in the financial  statements under these three intercompany  leases was
$999,152  in 1994,  $1,029,126  in 1995 and  $581,667  in 1996.  The Company has
obtained condominium interests in these three facilities effective June 1, 1996.
Cheyenne  Place and The Shores  are  leased  from  Litchfield  Asset  Management
Corporation by Integrated Health Services of Lester,  Inc. (a subsidiary of IHS)
under separate  leases.  The Company  entered into separate  subleases for these
facilities  with the IHS subsidiary  effective June 1, 1996. The initial term of
the subleases is seven years and provide for various renewal terms at the option

of ILC at fair market rentals.  Prior to June 1, 1996, the Company was allocated
rentals based on the lease between  Litchfield Asset Management  Corporation and
IHS. Rent expense  included in the financial  statements  under these leases was
$467,091 in 1994 and $1,401,271 in 1995, and $1,588,769 in 1996. The Company has
also entered  into  operating  leases for three  additional  facilities  and the
Company's corporate office.  Minimum rent payments under  noncancellable  leases
and subleases are summarized as follows for the years ended December 31:

(5) INCOME TAXES

   Through  October 9, 1996 (the closing date of the  Company's  initial  public
offering), the Company had been included in IHS' consolidated federal income tax
return.  Beginning  October 10, 1996 the Company will file its own  consolidated
federal income tax return.  The provision for income taxes is summarized  below:

</TABLE>

   The  provision  for Federal and state income taxes has been  allocated by IHS
generally  based on the overall  effective  tax rate of the  consolidated  group
applied  to  the  Company's  pre-tax  earnings.  Deferred  income  tax  (assets)
liabilities are recorded for the Company's temporary  differences using the same
effective tax rate. The difference  between the total provision for income taxes
and the deferred  income tax  provision,  both  determined  as discussed  above,
represents  income taxes  currently  payable to the Parent  Company and has been
accounted for as  additional  paid-in  capital.  The provision for income taxes,
deferred  income  taxes and income  taxes  currently  payable may vary from such
amounts that would have been computed on a stand-alone basis.


   As a result  of the  Company's  initial  public  offering  of  common  stock,
effective  October  10,  1996 the  Company  is no  longer  a  member  of the IHS
consolidated  group for income tax  purposes.  The provision for income taxes in
1996 has been reduced by the Company's net operating loss carryovers realized by
IHS as a result of the Company no longer being a member of the IHS  consolidated
group. The effect of this tax benefit allocated by IHS in 1996 was approximately
$420,000. 

   Also,  the  Company's  net  deferred  tax  asset  and the  related  valuation
allowance increased by approximately $800,000 in 1996 as a result of the Company
no longer being a member of the IHS consolidated group.

   At December  31,  1996,  the Company has a net  operating  loss  carryover of
approximately $624,000 for federal income tax purposes, which expires in 2011.


(6) OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS


   Through September 1996, IHS provided all corporate administrative and general
services to the Company 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 December 1, 1993 to October 31, 1995 (of which approximately $224,000
was paid to an IHS subsidiary and $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' 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.  Beginning  October 1, 1996,  this  agreement  was
terminated and the Company began  providing all of its corporate  administrative
and general services.

   As  discussed  in note 2 the  Company  has  agreements  with IHS  whereby IHS
subleases  two  facilities  to the Company and provides  services at three other
locations where the Company and IHS both operate the facilities.  As of December
31, 1996, the Company owed IHS $256,000 under these agreements.

(8) LONG TERM DEBT

   Effective  June 30,  1996,  IHS made  available  to the Company a $75 million
revolving  credit facility.  After the Company's public offering,  this facility
was replaced by a $3.4 million  unsecured  term loan in October,  1996. The term
loan bears interest at 14% and is to be repaid in 24 monthly  installments  plus
accrued interest.

(9) CAPITAL STOCK

   From  inception  through June 1996, the Company was authorized to issue up to
1,000 shares of common stock of which 100 shares were issued,  and  outstanding.
All  shares  were  held by IHS.  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).  In  August  1996,  the  Parent  Company
surrendered 1,063,100 shares of common stock to the Company. Share and per share
data for all periods  presented in the  financial  statements  give  retroactive
effect to the revised shares,  the common stock split and the related  surrender
of common  shares  referred to above.  On October 3, 1996,  the  Company  issued
2,800,000  common shares to the public at a price of $8 per share. IHS also sold
1,400,000  of its shares of the  Company's  common  stock at $8 per share.  This
reduced IHS' ownership in the Company to 37%.

   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  adopted two stock options plans during 1996. 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

                                44

                                  (Continued)

adopted a Stock 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
545,040  shares of common stock under the two plans.  Options  granted under the
Stock  Incentive  Plan vest over five  years and expire at the end of ten years.
Options granted under the Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee  Directors (none of
which have been  granted  through  December  31, 1996) vest over three years and
expire at the end of ten years.  In addition,  during 1996, the Company  granted
options  to  purchase  an  aggregate  of 405,000  shares of common  stock to six
directors.  These  options  vest over  three  years and expire at the end of ten
years. Stock option transactions are summarized as follows:

   The Company applies APB No. 25 and related  interpretations in accounting for
its stock options.  Accordingly,  no compensation expense has been recognized in
connection with its stock options.  Had  compensation  expense for the Company's
stock options been determined  consistent with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation",  the Company's net
earnings and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts
indicated below:

</TABLE>


   The fair value of the options for purposes of the above pro forma  disclosure
was calculated  using the  Black-Scholes  option pricing model and the following
assumptions:  risk  free  interest  rate of 6.58%,  expected  life of 6.0 to 6.5
years, no dividend payments,  and a volatility of 35.8%. The effects of applying
SFAS  123 in the  earnings  and  earnings  per  share  data  for 1996 may not be
representative of the effects on such pro forma information in future years.

(10) 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, 1995 and 1996;  accordingly,  there was no future  service
liability  recorded in connection  with the life-care  contracts at December 31,
1995 and 1996.

                                  (Continued)


   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 $882,779 and  $1,073,292 at December
31, 1995 and 1996, respectively,  of which $215,627 and $200,248,  respectively,
is  included  in  refundable  deposits;  the  remainder  is included in unearned
entrance  fees.  Refunds  paid were  $370,769  in 1994,  $707,367  in 1995,  and
$519,073 in 1996,  including  minimum  refunds of $343,819 in 1994,  $553,213 in
1995, and $495,966 in 1996.


(11) 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.  In  connection  with the adoption of SFAS No. 121, the
Company  performed an  evaluation  of the  financial  performance  and projected
undiscounted  cash  flows  of  each  of its  facilities.  Using  an  independent
appraisal,  the  Company  estimated  the  fair  market  value  of its  Waterside
(Lakehouse East) facility and determined that the carrying value of certain long
lived assets, including goodwill, land, buildings and improvements, exceeded the
fair  values.  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.  At  the  time  the  Company  acquired  the
controlling  interest in the Waterside  facility in December 1993, the Waterside
facility and Lakehouse West, a separate  adjacent  facility,  were operated in a
manner whereby the facilities shared certain services and expenses. The December
1993  valuation  assumed that these  facilities  would  continue  their existing
cross-referral  and joint  marketing  relationship  and would  continue to enjoy
other corporate synergies. In 1995, the Company and the minority partners in the
Waterside  facility and the Lakehouse West facility  exchanged  interests,  such
that the  Company  became  the  sole  owner of the  Waterside  facility  and the
minority partners became the sole owner of the adjacent  Lakehouse West facility
(see  note 2).  All  joint  arrangements  were  terminated.  The  December  1995
appraisal  reflected that (i) the benefits discussed above no longer existed and
(ii) the other  facility was now a competitor  of the Waterside  facility.  As a
result,  the December 1995 valuation of the Waterside facility was less than the
December 1993 valuation used for purchase accounting purposes.

(12) 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.


(13) EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO DECEMBER 31, 1996

   In January 1997, the Company  purchased four facilities in Virginia  totaling
198 beds for $15,750,000.  The Company financed the transaction through a bridge
loan with  NationsBank.  The loan is dated January 29, 1997 and matures on April
29,  1997.  The loan bears  interest at a floating  rate of libor plus 300 basis
points.  The Company  expects to refinance  this loan with the revolving  credit
facility discussed below.

   In February and March 1997, the Company acquired a leasehold  interest in one
facility in South  Carolina  totaling 55 beds, and two facilities in Florida and
Georgia totaling 103 beds.

                                  (Continued)

   In February 1997, the Company received  commitment  letters from NationsBank,
AmSouth,  and SouthTrust for a total $50,000,000 senior secured revolving credit
facility.  Under the senior secured  revolving credit facility,  the Company can
borrow up to the lesser of 75% of the appraised value of the facilities  secured
in the  line  or six  times  the  total  EBITDAR  (as  defined)  of the  secured
facilities.  The facility  will bear  interest at a rate between  libor plus 225
basis  points  and libor plus 300 basis  points and have an initial  term of two
years.  Facilities  may be put in and  pulled  out of the line at the  Company's
discretion  as long as the  outstanding  balance  does not exceed the  available
borrowings  (calculated as discussed  above).  The proposed  credit  facility is
subject to completion of definitive documentation, and there can be no assurance
that the Company will obtain this facility on the proposed  terms,  on different
terms, or at all.

   The Company intends to use the NationsBank line to fund future  acquisitions.
However, under the facility, the Company may borrow up to $5,000,000 for working
capital  purposes.  The  NationsBank  line will  enable the  Company to complete
acquisitions  without long financing delays. Once the acquisition is closed, the
company  will seek longer term  financing  for the  community  either  through a
mortgage or lease.

interest  shall bear  interest  at the rate  provided  for  hereunder  plus four
percent (4%) per annum until such principal and interest have been paid in full;
provided,  however,  that in no event shall this or any other  provision  herein
permit the  collection  of any  interest  which would be usurious  under the law
governing this  transaction,  and if any such interest is collected,  the amount
above the  maximum  rate  permitted  by law  shall be  deemed to be a  principal
payment hereunder.

         Late  Charges.  In the event any payment of interest  or  principal  is
delinquent  more than fifteen (15) days,  the  Borrowers  will pay to the Bank a
late  charge of two  percent  (2%) of the amount of the  overdue  payment.  This
provision for late charges shall not be deemed to extend the time for payment or
be a "grace  period" or "cure period" that gives the Borrowers a right to cure a
default hereunder.  Imposition of late charges is not contingent upon the giving
of any notice or lapse of any cure period provided for herein.

         Fees.  The Borrowers  will pay a  non-refundable  fee of $30,000 to the
Bank on the date hereof.

         Application of Payments.  All sums received by the Bank for application
to this Note may be applied by the Bank to late charges, fees, expenses,  costs,
interest,  principal and other amounts owing to the Bank in connection with this
Note in the order selected by the Bank in its sole discretion.

         Expenses.  The Borrowers shall pay all reasonable  out-of-pocket costs,
fees and expenses of the Bank in connection with the  negotiation,  preparation,
execution,  delivery and  modification of this Note, and all related  documents,
instruments  and/or  agreements  including  without  limitation  all  reasonable
attorneys'  fees and expenses.  In addition,  in the event this Note is not paid
when due at any stated or  accelerated  maturity,  the  Borrowers  will pay,  in
addition to principal and interest,  all costs of collection,  including without
limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses.

         Assignment.  It is  expressly  recognized  and agreed that the Bank may
assign  this Note,  in whole or in part,  to any other  person,  firm,  or legal
entity provided that all the provisions  hereof shall continue in full force and
effect  and,  in the event of such  assignment,  the Bank  shall  thereafter  be
relieved of all liabilities hereunder.

         Severability.  If any  provision  of  this  Note  is  determined  to be
illegal,  invalid or unenforceable,  such provision shall be fully severable and
the  remaining  provisions  shall  remain in full  force and effect and shall be
construed  without  giving  effect  to the  illegal,  invalid  or  unenforceable
provisions.

         Governing Law;  Submission To Jurisdiction;  Venue.  This Note shall be
governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Florida.
In any litigation in connection  with or to enforce this Note or any indorsement
or guaranty of this Note or any other document

related  thereto,  the  Borrowers  irrevocably  consent to and  confer  personal
jurisdiction  on the courts of the State of Florida or the United States located
within the State of Florida and  expressly  waive any  objections as to venue in
any such courts. Nothing contained herein shall, however,  prevent the Bank from
bringing  any  action  or  exercising  any  rights  within  any  other  state or
jurisdiction  or  from  obtaining  personal  jurisdiction  by  any  other  means
available under applicable law.

         TRIAL BY JURY.  TO THE EXTENT  PERMITTED BY LAW, THE  BORROWERS  HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY  WAIVE  ALL  RIGHT  TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY  ACTION,  PROCEEDING  OR
COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS NOTE, ANY OF THE OTHER OPERATIVE
DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

         ARBITRATION.  ANY  CONTROVERSY  OR CLAIM  BETWEEN OR AMONG THE  PARTIES
HERETO  INCLUDING  BUT NOT  LIMITED TO THOSE  ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
NOTE OR ANY RELATED  INSTRUMENTS,  AGREEMENTS OR DOCUMENTS,  INCLUDING ANY CLAIM
BASED ON OR  ARISING  FROM AN  ALLEGED  TORT,  SHALL BE  DETERMINED  BY  BINDING
ARBITRATION  IN  ACCORDANCE  WITH  THE  FEDERAL   ARBITRATION  ACT  (OR  IF  NOT
APPLICABLE,  THE APPLICABLE  STATE LAW), THE RULES OF PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE FOR
THE ARBITRATION OF COMMERCIAL  DISPUTES OF  J.A.M.S./ENDISPUTE  OR ANY SUCCESSOR
THEREOF  ("J.A.M.S."),  AND THE "SPECIAL RULES" SET FORTH BELOW, IN THE EVENT OF
ANY  INCONSISTENCY,   THE  SPECIAL  RULES  SHALL  CONTROL.   JUDGMENT  UPON  ANY
ARBITRATION AWARD MAY BE ENTERED IN ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION.  ANY PARTY TO
THIS NOTE MAY BRING AN ACTION, INCLUDING A SUMMARY OR EXPEDITED PROCEEDINGS,  TO
COMPEL ARBITRATION OF ANY CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM TO WHICH THIS NOTE APPLIES IN ANY
COURT HAVING JURISDICTION OVER SUCH ACTION.

         SPECIAL RULES. THE ARBITRATION  SHALL BE CONDUCTED IN THE COUNTY OF ANY
BORROWER'S  DOMICILE AT THE TIME OF THE  EXECUTION OF THIS NOTE,  OR IF THERE IS
REAL OR PERSONAL PROPERTY COLLATERAL,  IN THE COUNTY WHERE SUCH REAL OR PERSONAL
PROPERTY IS LOCATED AND ADMINISTERED BY J.A.M.S. WHO WILL APPOINT AN ARBITRATOR:
IF J.A.M.S.  IS UNABLE OR LEGALLY PRECLUDED FROM  ADMINISTERING THE ARBITRATION,
THEN THE AMERICAN  ARBITRATION  ASSOCIATION WILL SERVE. ALL ARBITRATION HEARINGS
WILL BE COMMENCED  WITHIN 90 DAYS OF THE DEMAND FOR  ARBITRATION;  FURTHER,  THE
ARBITRATOR  SHALL  ONLY,  UPON A SHOWING OF CAUSE,  BE  PERMITTED  TO EXTEND THE
COMMENCEMENT OF SUCH HEARING FOR UP TO AN ADDITIONAL 60 DAYS.

         RESERVATION OF RIGHTS.  NOTHING IN THIS ARBITRATION  PROVISION SHALL BE
DEEMED TO (I) LIMIT THE  APPLICABILITY OF ANY OTHERWISE  APPLICABLE  STATUTES OF
LIMITATION  OR  REPOSE  AND ANY  WAIVERS  CONTAINED  IN THIS  NOTE OR ANY  OTHER
DOCUMENTS  RELATED  THERETO;  OR (II) BE A WAIVER BY THE BANK OF THE  PROTECTION
AFFORDED TO IT BY 12 U.S.C. SEC. 91 OR ANY  SUBSTANTIALLY  EQUIVALENT STATE LAW;
OR (III) LIMIT THE RIGHT OF THE BANK HERETO (A) TO EXERCISE  SELF HELP  REMEDIES
SUCH AS (BUT NOT  LIMITED TO) SETOFF,  OR (B) TO  FORECLOSE  AGAINST ANY REAL OR
PERSONAL  PROPERTY  COLLATERAL,  OR (C) TO OBTAIN  FROM A COURT  PROVISIONAL  OR
ANCILLARY  REMEDIES  SUCH


                                       7
<PAGE>

AS (BUT NOT LIMITED TO) INJUNCTIVE RELIEF, WRIT OF POSSESSION OR THE APPOINTMENT
OF A RECEIVER. THE BANK MAY EXERCISE SUCH SELF HELP RIGHTS,  FORECLOSE UPON SUCH
PROPERTY,  OR OBTAIN SUCH PROVISIONAL OR ANCILLARY  REMEDIES  BEFORE,  DURING OR
AFTER THE PENDENCY OF ANY ARBITRATION  PROCEEDING  BROUGHT PURSUANT TO THIS NOTE
OR ANY OTHER  DOCUMENTS  RELATED  THERETO.  NEITHER  THIS  EXERCISE OF SELF HELP
REMEDIES NOR THE  INSTITUTION  OR  MAINTENANCE  OF AN ACTION FOR  FORECLOSURE OR
PROVISIONAL OR ANCILLARY  REMEDIES SHALL CONSTITUTE A WAIVER OF THE RIGHT OF ANY
PARTY, INCLUDING THE CLAIMANT IN ANY SUCH ACTION, TO ARBITRATE THE MERITS OF THE
CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM OCCASIONING RESORT TO SUCH REMEDIES.

         USURY SAVINGS PROVISION. IT IS THE INTENT OF THE BORROWERS AND THE BANK
TO CONFORM TO AND CONTRACT IN STRICT  COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE  USURY LAW FROM
TIME TO TIME IN EFFECT.  TO THE EXTENT ANY PAYMENTS  HEREUNDER  ARE  HEREINAFTER
CHARACTERIZED  BY ANY  COURT  OF  COMPETENT  JURISDICTION  AS THE  REPAYMENT  OF
PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST  THEREON,  THIS USURY SAVINGS  PROVISION SHALL APPLY. ANY
SUCH  PAYMENTS  SO  CHARACTERIZED  AS  INTEREST  MAY BE  REFERRED  TO  HEREIN AS
"INTEREST."  ALL AGREEMENTS  AMONG THE BORROWERS AND THE BANK ARE HEREBY LIMITED
BY THE  PROVISIONS  OF THIS USURY  SAVINGS  PROVISION  WHICH SHALL  OVERRIDE AND
CONTROL ALL SUCH  AGREEMENTS,  WHETHER NOW  EXISTING  OR  HEREAFTER  ARISING AND
WHETHER  WRITTEN OR ORAL. IN NO WAY, NOR IN ANY EVENT OR CONTINGENCY  (INCLUDING
WITHOUT   LIMITATION   PREPAYMENT  OR   ACCELERATION  OF  THE  MATURITY  OF  ANY
OBLIGATION),  SHALL ANY INTEREST TAKEN,  RESERVED,  CONTRACTED FOR, CHARGED,  OR
RECEIVED  UNDER THIS NOTE OR OTHERWISE,  EXCEED THE MAXIMUM  NONUSURIOUS  AMOUNT
PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. TO THE EXTENT ANY POSSIBLE CONSTRUCTION OF ANY
OPERATIVE  AGREEMENT  (AS SUCH TERM IS  HEREINAFTER  DEFINED)  PROVIDES  FOR THE
PAYMENT OF INTEREST IN EXCESS OF THE MAXIMUM  NONUSURIOUS  AMOUNT,  (A) ANY SUCH
CONSTRUCTION  SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THIS USURY SAVINGS PROVISION
AND (B) SUCH AMOUNTS UNDER SUCH DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS  SHALL BE  AUTOMATICALLY
REDUCED TO THE  MAXIMUM  NONUSURIOUS  AMOUNT  PERMITTED  UNDER  APPLICABLE  LAW,
WITHOUT  THE  NECESSITY  OF  EXECUTION  OF  ANY  AMENDMENT  OR NEW  DOCUMENT  OR
AGREEMENT.  (FOR PURPOSES OF THIS NOTE,  (X) "OPERATIVE  AGREEMENTS"  SHALL MEAN
THIS NOTE,  THE  MORTGAGE  DOCUMENTS  AND ANY AND ALL RELATED  DOCUMENTS  AND/OR
AGREEMENTS AND (Y) "OPERATIVE AGREEMENT" SHALL MEAN,  INDIVIDUALLY,  EACH OF THE
OPERATIVE AGREEMENTS.) IF THE BANK SHALL EVER RECEIVE ANYTHING OF VALUE WHICH IS
CHARACTERIZED  AS INTEREST  WITH RESPECT TO THE  OBLIGATIONS  OWED  HEREUNDER OR
UNDER APPLICABLE LAW AND WHICH WOULD,  APART FROM THIS USURY SAVINGS  PROVISION,
BE IN EXCESS OF THE MAXIMUM LAWFUL  AMOUNT,  AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE AMOUNT WHICH
WOULD HAVE BEEN

                                       8
<PAGE>


EXCESSIVE  INTEREST SHALL,  WITHOUT PENALTY,  BE APPLIED TO THE REDUCTION OF THE
COMPONENT OF PAYMENTS DEEMED TO BE PRINCIPAL AND NOT TO THE PAYMENT OF INTEREST,
OR REFUNDED TO THE  BORROWERS OR ANY OTHER PAYOR  THEREOF,  IF AND TO THE EXTENT
SUCH AMOUNT WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN  EXCESSIVE  EXCEEDS THE  COMPONENT OF PAYMENTS
DEEMED TO BE PRINCIPAL.  THE RIGHT TO DEMAND PAYMENT OF ANY AMOUNTS EVIDENCED BY
ANY OF THE  OPERATIVE  AGREEMENTS  DOES NOT  INCLUDE  THE RIGHT TO  RECEIVE  ANY
INTEREST  WHICH HAS NOT  OTHERWISE  ACCRUED ON THE DATE OF SUCH DEMAND,  AND THE
BANK DOES NOT INTEND TO CHARGE OR RECEIVE ANY UNEARNED  INTEREST IN THE EVENT OF
SUCH DEMAND.  ALL INTEREST  PAID OR AGREED TO BE PAID TO THE BANK SHALL,  TO THE
EXTENT  PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE  LAW, BE  AMORTIZED,  PRORATED,  ALLOCATED,  AND
SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE FULL STATED TERM (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY RENEWAL
OR  EXTENSION)  OF THIS NOTE SO THAT THE AMOUNT OF  INTEREST  ON ACCOUNT OF SUCH
PAYMENTS DOES NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM  NONUSURIOUS AMOUNT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW.

         ENTIRE  AGREEMENT.  THIS NOTE  REPRESENTS  THE FINAL  AGREEMENT  OF THE
BORROWERS  AND THE  BANK  AND MAY NOT BE  CONTRADICTED  BY  EVIDENCE  OF  PRIOR,
CONTEMPORANEOUS  OR SUBSEQUENT  ORAL  AGREEMENTS  OF SUCH PARTIES.  THERE ARE NO
UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN SUCH PARTIES.

<PAGE>

after the  Commencement  Date,  unless sooner  terminated  pursuant to the terms
hereof.

                                   ARTICLE II
                                      RENT

II.1 Minimum Rent and  Adjustments to Minimum Rent.  Lessee shall pay to Lessor,
without notice,  demand, set off (except as set forth in Section 30.2 or Article
XXXII hereof) or  counterclaim,  in advance in lawful money of the United States
of America,  at Lessor's  address set forth  herein or at such other place or to
such  other  person,  firms or  corporations  as  Lessor  from  time to time may
designate in writing,  Minimum  Rent, as adjusted  annually  pursuant to Section
2.1(b) during the Term, as follows:

         (a) Minimum  Rent.  Lessee will pay to Lessor as rent (as adjusted from
time to time in accordance with Sections 2.1(b) and 2.1(e),  the "Minimum Rent")
for the Leased  Property the annual sum equal to the product of (i) the Purchase
Amount times (ii) the greater of (X) ten percent and (Y) the  Treasury  Yield in
effect  ten  days  prior  to  the   Commencement   Date  with  maturity  periods
substantially  equivalent to the Initial Term plus 3.5%.  The Minimum Rent shall
be payable in advance in 12 equal, consecutive monthly installments on the first
day of each  calendar  month  during  the Term.  The  parties  will  execute  an
acknowledgement of the initial Minimum Rent calculated  pursuant to this Section
2.1(a) as soon as  reasonably  practicable  after  the  Commencement  Date.  The
Minimum  Rent  shall be  prorated  for any  partial  month,  and is  subject  to
adjustment as provided in Sections 2.1(b),  2.1(e) and 9.3(b)(iv) below. As used
herein, the term "Purchase Amount" means the total amount funded or to be funded
for the  acquisition of the Leased  Property by Lessor  pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement,  including  legal  fees and  expenses,  recording  taxes and fees and
expenses  related to or arising out of the title  policy,  structural  and other
inspections, survey, environmental report and appraisal.

         (b) Increases to Minimum Rent. On each  anniversary of the Commencement
Date (each such annual date individually  referred to as the "Adjustment  Date")
throughout the Initial Term and any Extended  Terms,  the  then-current  Minimum
Rent shall be increased  annually  effective as of such  Adjustment  Date by the
increase in the  Consumer  Price Index from the  Commencement  Date to the first
Adjustment Date and,  thereafter,  from one Adjustment Date to the  then-current
Adjustment Date; however,  with the exception of the first year of each Extended
Term,  in no event will the annual  change in the Minimum  Rent be less than two
percent nor more than five percent of the Minimum Rent for the prior year.

         (c) Capital Replacement Account.  Lessee will pay to Lessor for deposit
in a money market  account in a federally  insured bank in  Birmingham,  Alabama
acceptable to Lessor and Lessee the sums set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto,
which funds (the  "Capital  Replacement  Account")  shall be made  available  to
Lessee to make repairs and  replacements  for the Leased Property as approved by
Lessor  (which  approval  shall not be  unreasonably  withheld,  conditioned  or
delayed),  the  costs  of  which  according  to  generally  accepted  accounting
principles  must be depreciated  over periods greater than one year. The Capital
Replacement  Account shall be in the name of Lessor, and interest earned on such
account shall be retained in the Capital Replacement Account.  Lessee shall make
detailed  requests  for such  funds in  writing  to Lessor in the same form as a
Request  pursuant  Section 9.3 hereof.  Within 30 days of such  Request,  Lessor
shall  reasonably  approve  the  amount of  requested  funds  and make  mutually
agreeable arrangements for the disbursement of the funds, or provide Lessee with
written  notice in  reasonable  detail  specifying  Lessor's  objections to such
Request.

         (d) Payment of Minimum Rent. All payments of Minimum Rent shall be made
in  lawful  money of the  United  States by wire  transfer  of same day funds to
Lessor's account #0000040999 at First Commercial Bank, Birmingham,  Alabama, ABA
Routing  #062003605,  Attention:  Todd Beard, with advice to Daryl D. McCombs at
(205) 967-2092 (or such other account or location  specified by Lessor from time
to time in writing) on or before 2:00 p.m.,  Birmingham  time,  on any  Business
Day.


                                       2
<PAGE>

         (e)  Recalculation of Minimum Rent. The parties agree that the Purchase
Amount may be  estimated  as of the  Commencement  Date.  As soon as  reasonably
practicable  after the  determination of the final Purchase Amount,  Lessor will
recalculate  the Minimum Rent pursuant to Section  2.1(a)  whereupon the parties
will execute an acknowledgement of the recalculated Minimum Rent.

II.2 Calculation of Increases to Minimum Rent. On or about each Adjustment Date,
Lessor  will  calculate  the  increase  in  the  Minimum  Rent  pursuant  to the
provisions  of Section  2.1(b) and will provide  Lessee with  written  notice of
same.

II.3 Additional Charges.  Lessee will also pay and discharge as and when due (a)
all other  amounts,  liabilities,  obligations  and  Impositions,  which  Lessee
assumes or agrees to pay under this Lease including,  to the extent  applicable,
any condominium  association dues,  assessments or other charges, and (b) in the
event of any failure on the part of Lessee to pay any of those items referred to
in clause (a) above,  Lessee will also  promptly pay and  discharge  every fine,
penalty, interest and cost which may be added for non-payment or late payment of
such items (the items referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above being referred to
herein  collectively  as the  "Additional  Charges"),  and Lessor shall have all
legal,  equitable and contractual  rights,  powers and remedies provided in this
Lease,  by statute or otherwise,  in the case of  non-payment  of the Additional
Charges,  as well as the Minimum  Rent.  If any  installment  of Minimum Rent or
Additional  Charges (but only as to those  Additional  Charges which are payable
directly  to Lessor)  shall not be paid within ten days after the date when due,
Lessee will pay Lessor on demand, as Additional Charges, interest (to the extent
permitted  by  law)  computed  at  the  Overdue  Rate  on  the  amount  of  such
installment,  from the date when due to the date of payment in full thereof.  In
the event Lessor  provides  Lessee with written  notice of failure to timely pay
any  installment of Minimum Rent or any Additional  Charges  pursuant to Section
15.1(b) more than three times within any twelve-month  period,  Lessee shall pay
an  administrative  fee to Lessor in the amount of $500.00  for each  additional
written notice Lessor gives  pursuant to Section  15.1(b) during the next twelve
months.  To the extent that Lessee pays any Additional  Charges to Lessor or the
Facility  Mortgagee  pursuant to any requirement of this Lease,  Lessee shall be
relieved of its obligation to pay such Additional Charges to the entity to which
such  Additional  Charges would  otherwise be due.  Additional  Charges shall be
deemed Rent hereunder.

II.4 Net Lease.  The Rent shall be paid  absolutely net to Lessor,  so that this
Lease shall yield to Lessor the full amount of the  installments of Minimum Rent
and the payments of Additional  Charges  throughout  the Term but subject to any
provisions of this Lease which  expressly  provide for payments by Lessor or the
adjustment of the Rent or other charges.

                                   ARTICLE III
                                   IMPOSITIONS

III.1  Payment of  Impositions.  Subject to Article  XI  relating  to  permitted
contests, Lessee will pay, or cause to be paid, all Impositions before any fine,
penalty, interest or cost may be added for non-payment, such payments to be made
directly to the taxing  authorities  where  feasible,  and Lessee will promptly,
upon  request,   furnish  to  Lessor  copies  of  official   receipts  or  other
satisfactory proof evidencing such payments. If any such Imposition may lawfully
be paid in  installments  (whether or not  interest  shall  accrue on the unpaid
balance of such Imposition), Lessee may exercise the option to pay the same (and
any accrued  interest on the unpaid balance of such  Imposition) in installments
and, in such event,  shall pay such  installments  during the Term hereof as the
same become due and before any fine, penalty,  premium, further interest or cost
may be added thereto.  Lessor, at its expense, shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable law,  prepare and file all tax returns and reports as may be required
by governmental  authorities in respect of Lessor's net income,  gross receipts,
franchise taxes and taxes on its capital stock.  Lessee, at its expense,  shall,
to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, prepare and file all
other tax returns and reports in respect of any Imposition as may be required by
governmental  authorities.  If any refund shall be due from any taxing authority
in respect of any 


                                       3
<PAGE>

Imposition paid by Lessee,  the same shall be paid over to or retained by Lessee
if no Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder and be continuing. Any such
funds retained by Lessor due to an Event of Default shall be applied as provided
in Article XV. Lessor and Lessee shall, upon request of the other,  provide such
data as is  maintained  by the party to whom the request is made with respect to
the Leased  Property as may be  necessary  to prepare any  required  returns and
reports. In the event governmental  authorities classify any property covered by
this Lease as personal  property,  Lessee shall file all  personal  property tax
returns in such jurisdictions  where filing is required.  Lessor and Lessee will
provide  the other  party,  upon  request,  with cost and  depreciation  records
necessary  for  filing  returns  for any  property  so  classified  as  personal
property.  Where  Lessor is  legally  required  to file  personal  property  tax
returns, and Lessee is obligated for the same hereunder, Lessee will be provided
with  copies of  assessment  notices  in  sufficient  time for  Lessee to file a
protest.  Lessee may,  upon giving 30 days' prior written  notice to Lessor,  at
Lessee's  option and at Lessee's  sole cost and  expense,  protest,  appeal,  or
institute  such other  proceedings  as Lessee may deem  appropriate  to effect a
reduction  of real  estate or  personal  property  assessments  and  Lessor,  if
requested by Lessee and at Lessee's expense as aforesaid,  shall fully cooperate
with Lessee in such protest, appeal, or other action. Billings for reimbursement
by Lessee to Lessor of personal property taxes shall be accompanied by copies of
an invoice  therefor and payments  thereof which identify the personal  property
with respect to which such payments are made.  Lessor will cooperate with Lessee
in order that  Lessee may  fulfill  its  obligations  hereunder,  including  the
execution of any instruments or documents reasonably requested by Lessee.

III.2 Proration of Impositions. Impositions imposed in respect of the tax-fiscal
period during which the Term  terminates  shall be prorated  between  Lessor and
Lessee,  whether  or not  such  Imposition  is  imposed  before  or  after  such
termination,  and  Lessee's  and  Lessor's  obligation  to pay their  respective
prorated shares thereof shall survive such termination.

III.3 Utility  Charges.  Lessee will, or will cause Tenants to, contract for, in
its own name,  and will pay or cause to be paid all  charges  for,  electricity,
power,  gas, oil, water and other  utilities used in the Leased  Property during
the Term.

III.4  Insurance  Premiums.  Lessee will contract for, in its own name, and will
pay or cause to be paid all premiums for, the insurance  coverage required to be
maintained by Lessee pursuant to Article XII during the Term.

         Except as provided in this Lease,  Lessee  shall  remain  bound by this
Lease in accordance with its terms and shall neither take any action without the
consent of Lessor to modify,  surrender or terminate  the same,  nor seek nor be
entitled to any abatement, deduction, deferment or reduction of Rent, or set-off
against the Rent, nor shall the  respective  obligations of Lessor and Lessee be
otherwise affected by reason of (a) any damage to, or destruction of, the Leased
Property or any portion  thereof from whatever cause or any Taking of the Leased
Property or any portion thereof,  except as otherwise  provided in Articles XIII
or XIV, (b) the lawful or unlawful prohibition of, or restriction upon, Lessee's
use of the Leased  Property,  or any portion thereof,  or the interference  with
such use by any person,  corporation,  partnership or other entity, or by reason
of eviction by  paramount  title,  (c) any claim which  Lessee has or might have
against  Lessor or by reason of any default or breach of any  warranty by Lessor
under this Lease or any other  agreement  between  Lessor and Lessee or to which
Lessor and Lessee are parties, (d) any bankruptcy,  insolvency,  reorganization,
composition,  readjustment,   liquidation,  dissolution,  winding  up  or  other
proceedings affecting Lessor or any assignee or transferee of Lessor, or (e) for
any  other  cause  whatsoever  whether  similar  or  dissimilar  to  any  of the
foregoing.  Lessee  hereby  specifically  waives  all  rights  arising  from any
occurrence  whatsoever which may now or hereafter be conferred upon it by law to
(i) modify,  surrender or terminate  this Lease or quit or surrender  the Leased
Property  or any  portion  thereof,  or (ii)  entitle  Lessee to any  abatement,
reduction,  suspension  or deferment of the Rent or other sums payable by Lessee
hereunder,  except  as  otherwise  specifically  provided  in  this  Lease.  The
obligations  of Lessor and Lessee  hereunder  shall be separate and  independent
covenants  and  agreements  and the Rent and all other  sums  payable  by Lessee
hereunder  shall continue to be payable in all events unless the  obligations to
pay the same shall be  terminated  pursuant  to the express  provisions  of this
Lease.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  Lessee shall have the right by separate
and  independent  action to pursue  any  claim or seek any  damages  it may have
against  Lessor as a result of a breach by Lessor of the terms of this  Lease or
Lessor's willful misconduct.

         (c) Lessee  covenants  and agrees  that during the Term it will use its
reasonable  best  efforts  to  operate   continuously  the  Leased  Property  in
accordance with its Primary Intended Use and to maintain its  certifications for
reimbursement,  if any,  and  licensure  and its  accreditation,  with  Lessor's
cooperation  but  at  Lessee's  sole  cost  and  expense,   if  compliance  with
accreditation  standards is required to maintain the  operations of the Facility
and if a failure to comply would adversely affect operations of the Facility.

Leased Property, or in the Facility or cause or permit any nuisance thereon.

         (e) Lessee shall neither  suffer nor permit the Leased  Property or any

agreements  must be in writing,  and (iv) all  management or leasing  agreements
with an Affiliate of Lessee must contain  provisions  to the effect that (A) the

                  REPAIRS; RESTRICTIONS AND ANNUAL INSPECTIONS

VIII.1   Maintenance and Repair.

         (a)  Lessee,  at its  expense,  will keep the Leased  Property  and all
private  roadways,  sidewalks and curbs  appurtenant  thereto in reasonably good
order and repair (whether or not the need for such repairs occurs as a result of
Lessee's use, any prior use, the elements, the age of the Leased Property or



                                       8
<PAGE>

any portion thereof), and except as otherwise provided in Articles XIII and XIV,
with  reasonable  promptness  will make all  necessary and  appropriate  repairs
thereto of every kind and nature  (including  remodeling to the extent necessary
to maintain the Leased Property in a condition  substantially the same as exists
on the date hereof), whether interior or exterior, structural or non-structural,
ordinary  or  extraordinary,  foreseen or  unforeseen  or arising by reason of a
condition  existing prior to or after the commencement of the Term of this Lease
(concealed  or  otherwise).  All repairs  and  remodeling  shall,  to the extent
reasonably  achievable,  be at least  equivalent in quality to the original work
and shall be accomplished  by Lessee or a party selected by Lessee.  Lessee will
not take or omit to take any  action  the  taking  or  omission  of which  might
materially  impair the value or  usefulness  of the Leased  Property or any part
thereof for the  Primary  Intended  Use.  If Lessee  fails to perform any of its
obligations  hereunder,  or if  Lessor  reasonably  determines  that  action  is
necessary and is not being taken,  Lessor may, on giving 30 days' written notice
to Lessee (other than in a case reasonably  deemed by Lessor to be an emergency,
in which  case no such  notice  shall be  required),  without  demand on Lessee,
perform  any such  obligations  in such  manner and to such extent and take such
other  action  as  Lessor  may deem  appropriate  in the  event  Lessee  has not
commenced  to perform  such  obligation  or take such action  during such 30-day
period,  and all costs,  expenses  and  charges of Lessor  relating  to any such
action  shall  constitute  Additional  Charges and shall be payable by Lessee to
Lessor in accordance with Section 2.3.

         (b)  Except  for  the use of any  insurance  proceeds  (to  the  extent
required  by  Sections  13.1 and 13.2) and any Award (to the extent  required by
Section 14.3) Lessor shall not under any  circumstances  be required to build or
rebuild  any  improvements  on the  Leased  Property,  or to make  any  repairs,
replacements,   alterations,   restorations,   or  renewals  of  any  nature  or
description  to  the  Leased  Property,   whether  ordinary  or   extraordinary,
structural or nonstructural,  foreseen or unforeseen, or to make any expenditure
whatsoever  with respect  thereto in connection  with this Lease, or to maintain
the Leased Property in any way.

         (c) Nothing contained in this Lease and no action or inaction by Lessor
shall be construed as constituting  the consent or request of Lessor,  expressed
or implied, to any contractor,  subcontractor, laborer, materialman or vendor to
or for the performance of any particular  labor or services or the furnishing of
any  particular  materials or other property for the  construction,  alteration,
addition, repair or demolition of or to the Leased Property or any part thereof.

         (d) Unless  Lessor  shall  convey any of the Leased  Property to Lessee
pursuant to the  provisions of this Lease,  Lessee will,  upon the expiration or
prior  termination  of this Lease,  vacate and surrender the Leased  Property to
Lessor in the  condition in which the Leased  Property was  originally  received
from Lessor,  except for ordinary  wear and tear  (subject to the  obligation of
Lessee to  maintain  the  Property  in good order and  repair  during the entire
Term),  damage  caused by the gross  negligence  or willful acts of Lessor,  and
damage or  destruction  described  in Article  XIII or  resulting  from a Taking
described in Article XIV which Lessee is not required by the terms of this Lease
to repair or restore,  and except as  repaired,  rebuilt,  restored,  altered or
added to as permitted or required by the provisions of this Lease.

VIII.2  Encroachments;  Restrictions.  If any of the Improvements  shall, at any
time, encroach upon any property,  street or right-of-way adjacent to the Leased
Property,  or shall  violate  the  agreements  or  conditions  contained  in any
applicable Legal  Requirement,  lawful  restrictive  covenant or other agreement
affecting the Leased Property,  or any part thereof,  or shall impair the rights
of others under any  easement or  right-of-way  to which the Leased  Property is
subject,  then promptly upon the request of Lessor, Lessee shall at its expense,
subject  to its  right  to  contest  the  existence  of any  such  encroachment,
violation or impairment,  (a) obtain valid and effective  waivers or settlements
of all claims,  liabilities and damages  resulting from each such  encroachment,
violation or impairment,  whether the same shall affect Lessor or Lessee, or (b)
make such changes in the Improvements, and take such other actions, as Lessor in
the good faith exercise of its judgment deems reasonably practicable,  to remove
such  encroachment,  or to end  such  violation  or  impairment,  including,  if
necessary,  the alteration of any of the Leased




                                       9

Improvements,  and in any event  take all such  actions as may be  necessary  in
order to be able to  continue  the  operation  of the  Facility  for the Primary
Intended  Use  substantially  in the manner and to the extent the  Facility  was
operated  prior to the  assertion of such  violation or  encroachment.  Any such
alteration  shall be made in  conformity  with the  applicable  requirements  of
Article IX. Lessee's  obligations under this Section 8.2 shall be in addition to
and shall in no way  discharge or diminish any  obligation  of any insurer under
any policy of title or other  insurance and Lessee shall be entitled to a credit
for any  sums  recovered  by  Lessor  under  any such  policy  of title or other
insurance.

VIII.3  Inspections.  From time to time  during the Term,  Lessor and its agents
shall have the right,  subject to any rights of confidentiality  of Tenants,  to
inspect the Leased Property and all systems  contained therein at any reasonable
time and upon two days advance notice to Lessee to determine Lessee's compliance
with its obligations under this Lease,  including those obligations set forth in
Article VII and this Article VIII.  Lessee shall be responsible for the costs of
such inspections, which costs shall not exceed the sum of $2,000.00 per year for
each  year  of the  Term  for an  independent,  third  party  inspection  of the
Facility.

                                   ARTICLE IX
                                CAPITAL ADDITIONS

IX.1     Construction of Capital Additions to the Leased Property.

         (a) If no Event of  Default  shall  have  occurred  and be  continuing,
Lessee shall have the right,  upon and subject to the terms and  conditions  set
forth below,  to construct or install  Capital  Additions on the Leased Property
with the prior written consent of Lessor which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld;  provided that Lessee shall not be permitted to create any Encumbrance
on the Leased  Property in connection with such Capital  Addition  without first
complying with Section 9.1(b) hereof.  Prior to commencing  construction  of any
Capital  Addition,  Lessee shall submit to Lessor in writing a proposal  setting
forth in reasonable  detail any proposed  Capital  Addition and shall provide to
Lessor such plans and  specifications,  permits,  licenses,  contracts and other
information  concerning the proposed  Capital  Addition as Lessor may reasonably
request.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,  such proposal shall
indicate the approximate  projected cost of constructing  such Capital  Addition
and the use or uses to which it will be put.

         (b) Prior to commencing  construction of any Capital  Addition,  Lessee
shall first request Lessor to provide funds to pay for such Capital  Addition in
accordance  with the provisions of Section 9.3. If Lessor  declines or is unable
to provide  such  financing  on terms  acceptable  to Lessee and Lessee  rejects
Lessor's  offer of  financing,  Lessee may arrange or provide  other  financing,
subject to the provisions of Section 9.2. Lessor will reasonably  cooperate with
Lessee regarding the grant of any consents or easements or the like necessary or
appropriate in connection  with any Capital  Addition;  provided that no Capital
Addition shall be made which would tie in or connect any Leased  Improvements on
the Leased  Property  with any other  improvements  on property  adjacent to the
Leased  Property  (and not part of the Land  covered  by this  Lease)  including
tie-ins of buildings or other structures or utilities,  unless Lessee shall have
obtained  the prior  written  approval of Lessor,  which  approval  shall not be
unreasonably  withheld.  All proposed Capital Additions shall be architecturally
integrated into and consistent with the Leased Property.

IX.2 Capital  Additions  Financed by Lessee.  If Lessee  finances or arranges to
finance  any Capital  Addition  with a party other than Lessor or if Lessee pays
cash for any  Capital  Addition,  this  Lease  shall be and hereby is amended to
provide as follows:

         (a) There shall be no  adjustment  in the Minimum Rent by reason of any
such Capital Addition.

                                       10
<PAGE>

         (b) Upon the expiration or earlier  termination  of this Lease,  Lessor
shall compensate Lessee for all Capital Additions paid for or financed by Lessee
in any of the following ways:

               (i) By purchasing  all Capital  Additions paid for by Lessee from
          Lessee for cash in the amount of the Fair  Market  Added  Value at the
          time of purchase by Lessor of all such Capital  Additions  paid for or
          financed by Lessee; or

               (ii) Such other arrangement  regarding such compensation as shall
          be mutually acceptable to Lessor and Lessee.

Any amount  owed by Lessee to Lessor  under this  Lease at such  termination  or
expiration may be deducted from any compensation for Capital  Additions  payable
by Lessor to Lessee under this Section 9.2.

IX.3     Capital Additions Financed by Lessor.

         (a) Lessee shall request that Lessor provide or arrange financing for a
Capital  Addition  by  providing  to Lessor such  information  about the Capital
Addition  as  Lessor  may  reasonably  request  (a  "Request"),   including  all
information  referred to in Section 9.1 above. Lessor may, but shall be under no
obligation to provide or obtain the funds necessary to meet the Request.  Within
30 days of receipt of a Request,  Lessor  shall  notify  Lessee as to whether it
will finance the proposed  Capital Addition and, if so, the terms and conditions
upon which it would do so,  including  the terms of any amendment to this Lease.
In no event  (i)  shall the  portion  of the  projected  Capital  Addition  Cost
comprised of land (if any),  materials,  labor charges and fixtures be less than
100% of the  total  amount  of such  cost,  or (ii)  shall  Lessee or any of its
Affiliates  be  entitled  to any  commission  or  development  fee,  directly or
indirectly,  as a portion of the Capital Addition Cost. Any Capital Addition not
financed by Lessor  must still be approved in writing by Lessor  pursuant to the
terms of Section 9.1 hereof,  which consent will not be  unreasonably  withheld.
Lessee may  withdraw its Request by notice to Lessor at any time before or after
receipt of Lessor's terms and conditions.

         (b) If Lessor agrees to finance the proposed Capital Addition, Lessor's
obligation  to  advance  any funds  shall be  subject  to  receipt of all of the
following, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor:

                  (i)      such loan documentation as may be required by Lessor;

                  (ii)  any  information,  certificates,  licenses,  permits  or
         documents  requested  by Lessor,  or by any lender with whom Lessor has
         agreed or may  agree to  provide  financing,  which  are  necessary  or
         appropriate  to confirm  that  Lessee  will be able to use the  Capital
         Addition  upon  completion  thereof  in  accordance  with  the  Primary
         Intended Use, including all required federal, state or local government
         licenses and approvals;

                  (iii)  an  Officer's   Certificate   and,  if   requested,   a
         certificate from Lessee's architect, setting forth in detail reasonably
         satisfactory to Lessor the projected (or actual,  if available) cost of
         the proposed Capital Addition;

                  (iv)  an   amendment   to  this  Lease,   duly   executed  and
         acknowledged,  in form and substance  satisfactory to Lessor and Lessee
         (the "Lease Amendment"), containing such provisions as may be necessary
         or appropriate due to the Capital  Addition,  including any appropriate
         changes  in the legal  description  of the Land and the Rent,  all such
         changes to be mutually agreed upon by Lessor and Lessee;

                  (v) if  appropriate,  a deed conveying  title to Lessor to any
         land and  


                                       11
<PAGE>

         improvements   or  other    rights  acquired    for  the    purpose  of
         constructing  the  Capital  Addition,  free and  clear of any  liens or
         encumbrances except those approved in writing by Lessor and, both prior
         to and following completion of the Capital Addition, an as-built survey
         thereof reasonably satisfactory to Lessor;

                  (vi) if appropriate, endorsements to any outstanding policy of
         title insurance  covering the Leased Property or a supplemental  policy
         of title insurance covering the Leased Property reasonably satisfactory
         in form and  substance  to Lessor (A)  updating  the same  without  any
         additional  exceptions,  except as may be permitted by Lessor;  and (B)
         increasing  the coverage  thereof by an amount equal to the Fair Market
         Value of the  Capital  Addition  (except to the  extent  covered by the
         owner's policy of title  insurance  referred to in  subparagraph  (vii)
         below);

                  (vii) if  required by Lessor,  (A) an owner's  policy of title
         insurance  insuring  fee simple  title to any land  conveyed  to Lessor
         pursuant  to  subparagraph  (v),  free  and  clear  of  all  liens  and
         encumbrances  except those approved by Lessor and (B) a lender's policy
         of title insurance satisfactory in form and substance to Lessor and the
         Lending Institution advancing any portion of the Capital Addition Cost;

                  (viii) if required by Lessor  upon  completion  of the Capital
         Addition, an M.A.I appraisal of the Leased Property; and

                  (ix)   such   other   certificates   (including   endorsements
         increasing  the  insurance  coverage,  if any, at the time  required by
         Section  12.1),  documents,  customary  opinions of  Lessee's  counsel,
         appraisals,  surveys,  certified copies of duly adopted  resolutions of
         the Board of Directors of Lessee authorizing the execution and delivery
         of the Lease Amendment and any other instruments or documents as may be
         reasonably required by Lessor.

         (c) Upon making a Request to finance a Capital Addition, whether or not
such financing is actually  consummated,  Lessee shall pay the reasonable  costs
and  expenses  of Lessor and any  Lending  Institution  which has  committed  to
finance such Capital  Addition paid or incurred in connection with the financing
of the Capital Addition, including (i) the fees and expenses of their respective
counsel,  (ii) the amount of any  recording  or transfer  taxes and fees,  (iii)
documentary  stamp taxes,  if any, (iv) title insurance  charges,  (v) appraisal
fees, if any, and (vi) commitment fees, if any.

IX.4 Remodeling and Non-Capital  Additions.  Lessee shall have the right and the
obligation  to make  additions,  modifications  or  improvements  to the  Leased
Property which are not Capital Additions,  including tenant improvements made in
connection  with the  Tenant  Leases,  from  time to time as may  reasonably  be
necessary  for its uses and purposes  and to permit  Lessee to comply fully with
its  obligations  set forth in this  Lease;  provided  that such  action will be
undertaken  expeditiously,  in a workmanlike  manner and will not  significantly
alter the character or purpose or detract from the value or operating efficiency
of the Leased Property and will not  significantly  impair the revenue producing
capability of the Leased  Property or adversely  affect the ability of Lessee to
comply with the provisions of this Lease.  Title to all  non-Capital  Additions,
modifications and improvements shall,  without payment by Lessor at any time, be
included  under  the  terms  of this  Lease  and,  upon  expiration  or  earlier
termination of this Lease, shall pass to and become the property of Lessor.

IX.5 Salvage. All materials which are scrapped or removed in connection with the
making of either Capital Additions  permitted by Section 9.1 or repairs required
by Article VIII shall be or become the property of Lessor;  provided that Lessor
may  require  Lessee to dispose  of such  materials  and remit the net  proceeds
thereof to Lessor within 15 days of such disposal.

                                      LIENS

         Subject to the provisions of Article XI relating to permitted contests,
Lessee  will not  directly  or  indirectly  create  or  suffer to exist and will
promptly  discharge  at its expense  any lien,  encumbrance,  attachment,  title
retention  agreement or claim upon the Leased Property or any attachment,  levy,
claim or encumbrance in respect of the Rent,  not including,  however,  (a) this
Lease,  (b) the  matters,  if any, set forth in Exhibit B attached  hereto,  (c)
restrictions,  liens and other encumbrances which are consented to in writing by
Lessor,  or any easements  granted  pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.4 of
this Lease,  (d) liens for those taxes of Lessor which Lessee is not required to
pay  hereunder,  (e)  subleases  permitted  by  Article  XXIII,  (f)  liens  for
Impositions or for sums resulting from  noncompliance with Legal Requirements so
long as (1) the same are not yet payable or are payable  without the addition of
any fine or penalty or (2) such liens are in the process of being  contested  in
accordance with the provisions of Article XI, (g) liens of mechanics,  laborers,
materialmen,  suppliers  or vendors  for sums  either  disputed  or not yet due,
provided  that (1) the payment of such sums shall not be postponed for more than
60 days after the  completion  of the  action  (including  any  appeal  from any
judgment  rendered  therein)  giving rise to such lien and such reserve or other
appropriate  provisions  as  shall  be  required  by law or  generally  accepted
accounting principles shall have been made therefor or (2) any such liens are in
the process of being  contested in accordance with the provisions of Article XI,
and (h) any Encumbrance placed on the Leased Property by Lessor.

                                   ARTICLE XI
                               PERMITTED CONTESTS

         Lessee,  after ten days' prior written notice to Lessor,  on its own or
on Lessor's behalf (or in Lessor's name), but at Lessee's expense,  may contest,
by appropriate legal proceedings conducted in good faith and with due diligence,
the amount,  validity or  application,  in whole or in part, of any  Imposition,
Legal Requirement,  Insurance Requirement,  lien, attachment, levy, encumbrance,
charge or claim  (collectively  "Charge") not otherwise  permitted by Article X,
which is required  to be paid or  discharged  by Lessee or any Tenant;  provided
that (a) in the case of an unpaid Charge,  the  commencement and continuation of
such  proceedings,  or the posting of a bond or certificate of deposit as may be
permitted by applicable  law, shall suspend the  collection  thereof from Lessor
and from the Leased  Property;  (b)  neither  the Leased  Property  nor any Rent
therefrom  nor any part thereof or interest  therein  would be in any  immediate
danger of being sold,  forfeited,  attached or lost;  (c) Lessor would not be in
any  immediate  danger of civil or  criminal  liability  for  failure  to comply
therewith  pending  the outcome of such  proceedings;  (d) in the event that any
such  contest  shall  involve  a sum of money or  potential  loss in  excess  of
$50,000.00,  then Lessee  shall  deliver to Lessor and its counsel an  Officer's
Certificate  as to the  matters set forth in clauses  (a),  (b) and (c) and such
opinions of legal counsel as Lessor may reasonably  request;  (e) in the case of
an  Insurance  Requirement,  the  coverage  required  by  Article  XII  shall be
maintained;  and (f) if such  contest  be  finally  resolved  against  Lessor or
Lessee,  Lessee shall,  as Additional  Charges due  hereunder,  promptly pay the
amount  required to be paid,  together with all interest and  penalties  accrued
thereon,  or otherwise comply with the applicable Charge;  provided further that
nothing  contained  herein shall be  construed  to permit  Lessee to contest the
payment of the Rent,  or any other sums  payable by Lessee to Lessor  hereunder.
Lessor,  at  Lessee's  expense,   shall  execute  and  deliver  to  Lessee  such
authorizations  and other  documents as may  reasonably  be required in any such
contest and, if reasonably  requested by Lessee or if Lessor so desires and then
at its own expense,  Lessor shall join as a party  therein.  Lessor shall do all
things  reasonably  requested by Lessee in connection  with such action.  Lessee
shall indemnify and save Lessor harmless against any liability,  cost or expense
of any kind that may be imposed upon Lessor in connection  with any such contest
and any loss resulting therefrom.

                                    INSURANCE

XII.1  General  Insurance  Requirements.  During the Term of this Lease,  Lessee
shall at all times keep the Leased  Property,  and all property located in or on
the Leased  Property  insured with the kinds and amounts of insurance  described
below and written by companies reasonably  acceptable to Lessor authorized to do
insurance  business in the state in which the Leased  Property  is located.  The
policies must name Lessor as an  additional  insured and losses shall be payable
to Lessor and/or  Lessee as provided in Article XIII. In addition,  the policies
shall name as an additional  insured the holder  ("Facility  Mortgagee")  of any
mortgage,  deed of trust or other security  agreement  securing any  Encumbrance
placed  on the  Leased  Property  or any part  thereof  in  accordance  with the
provisions of Article XXXII ("Facility Mortgage"),  if any, by way of a standard
form of mortgagee's loss payable  endorsement.  Any loss adjustment in excess of
$100,000.00  shall  require  the  written  consent of Lessor  and each  affected
Facility Mortgagee. Evidence of insurance shall be deposited with Lessor and, if
requested,  with any  Facility  Mortgagee(s).  If any  provision of any Facility
Mortgage which constitutes a first lien on the Leased Property requires deposits
of insurance to be made with such Facility Mortgagee, Lessee shall pay to Lessor
monthly the amounts  required  and Lessor  shall  transfer  such amounts to such
Facility  Mortgagee.  The policies on the Leased Property,  including the Leased
Improvements,  the Fixtures and the Personal Property,  shall insure against the
following risks:

         (a) Loss or damage by fire, vandalism and malicious mischief,  extended
coverage  perils  commonly  known as "All Risk" and all  physical  loss  perils,
including  sprinkler  leakage and business  interruption,  in an amount not less
than the then Full  Replacement  Cost thereof (as defined below in Section 12.2)
after  deductible  with a  replacement  cost  endorsement  sufficient to prevent
Lessee from becoming a co-insurer together with an agreed value endorsement;

         (b) Loss or damage by explosion of steam boilers,  pressure  vessels or
similar  apparatus now or hereafter  installed in the  Facility,  in such limits
with respect to any one accident as may be  reasonably  requested by Lessor from
time to time;

         (c) Loss or damage by  hurricane  and  earthquake  in the amount of the
Full Replacement Cost, after deductible;

         (d) Loss of  rental  under a  business  interruption  insurance  policy
covering risk of loss during the first 12 months of reconstruction  necessitated
by the occurrence of any of the hazards described in Sections  12.1(a),  12.1(b)
or 12.1  (c),  in an  amount  sufficient  to  prevent  Lessee  from  becoming  a
co-insurer;  provided  that in the event  that  Lessee  shall not be in  default
hereunder  and Lessor  shall  receive any  proceeds  from such rental  insurance
which, when added to rental amounts received with respect to the applicable time
period,  exceed  the amount of rental  owed by Lessee  hereunder,  Lessor  shall
immediately pay such excess to Lessee;

         (e) Claims for  personal  injury or property  damage  under a policy of
comprehensive  general public liability  insurance  including  insurance against
assumed or contractual  liability  including  indemnities under this Lease, with
amounts not less than  $1,000,000.00  per occurrence in respect of bodily injury
and death, $5,000,000.00 in the aggregate and $1,000,000.00 for property damage;
provided that if it becomes customary for tenants occupying similar buildings in
the same City where the Leased  Property  is located to be  required  to provide
liability  coverage  with higher  limits than the  foregoing,  then Lessee shall
provide Lessor with an insurance  policy with coverage  limits that are not less
than such customary limits; and

         (f) Flood  (when the  Leased  Property  is  located in whole or in part
within a designated flood plain area) and such other hazards and in such amounts
as may be customary for comparable  properties in the area and if available from
insurance  companies  authorized to do business in the state in which the Leased
Property is located.

<PAGE>

XII.2  Replacement  Cost. The term "Full  Replacement Cost" as used herein shall
mean the actual  replacement  cost of the Facility from time to time,  including
increased cost of  construction  endorsement,  less  exclusions  provided in the
normal fire insurance  policy.  In the event Lessor or Lessee  believes that the
Full Replacement Cost has increased or decreased at any time during the Term, it
shall  have the right at its own  expense  to have such  Full  Replacement  Cost
redetermined by an impartial  insurance  company  reasonably  acceptable to both
parties,  hereinafter  referred to as the "impartial  appraiser";  provided that
such redetermination shall not occur more often than once every three years. The
party  desiring  to  have  the  Full  Replacement  Cost  so  redetermined  shall
forthwith,  on receipt of such  determination by the impartial  appraiser,  give
written  notice  thereof to the other party hereto.  The  determination  of such
impartial appraiser shall be final and binding on the parties hereto, and Lessee
shall forthwith increase,  or may decrease,  the amount of the insurance carried
pursuant to this Article to the amount so determined by the impartial appraiser.

XII.3 Additional Insurance. In addition to the insurance described above, Lessee
shall maintain such additional insurance as may be reasonably required from time
to time by any Facility  Mortgagee which is consistent  with insurance  coverage
for similar  properties in the city,  county and state where the Leased Property
is located, or required pursuant to any applicable Legal Requirement,  and shall
at all times maintain or cause to be maintained  adequate worker's  compensation
insurance coverage for all persons employed by Lessee on the Leased Property, in
accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements.

XII.4 Waiver of  Subrogation.  All insurance  policies (other than liability and
worker's  compensation  insurance)  carried by either party  covering the Leased
Property,  the Fixtures,  the Facility and/or the Personal  Property,  including
contents,  fire and  casualty  insurance,  shall  expressly  waive  any right of
subrogation  on the part of the  insurer  against the other  party.  The parties
hereto  agree  that  their  policies  will  include  such  a  waiver  clause  or
endorsement  so long as the same is obtainable  without  extra cost,  and in the
event of such an extra charge the other party, at its election,  may request and
pay the same,  but shall not be  obligated to do so. Each party waives any claim
it has against the other party to the extent such claim is covered by insurance.

XII.5 Form of  Insurance.  All of the policies of insurance  referred to in this
Section shall be written in form reasonably  satisfactory to Lessor by insurance
companies reasonably  satisfactory to Lessor;  provided that the deductibles for
insurance required by Sections 12.1(a) through 12.1 (d) shall be no greater than
$50,000.00 and the deductible for coverage  required by Section 12.1(e) shall be
no greater than $100,000.00. Lessee shall pay all premiums therefor, and deliver
such policies or  certificates  thereof to Lessor prior to their  effective date
(and,  with  respect  to any  renewal  policy,  at  least  30 days  prior to the
expiration  of the  existing  policy).  In the event of the failure of Lessee to
effect such  insurance  in the names  herein  called for or to pay the  premiums
therefor,  or to deliver such policies or certificates  thereof to Lessor at the
times required, Lessor shall be entitled, but shall have no obligation, to enact
such insurance and pay the premiums therefor,  which premiums shall be repayable
by Lessee to Lessor upon written demand therefor,  and failure to repay the same
shall constitute an Event of Default within the meaning of Section 15.1(c). Each
insurer  mentioned in this Section shall agree,  by endorsement on the policy or
policies issued by it, or by independent instrument furnished to Lessor, that it
will give to Lessor  prior  written  notice  before  the policy or  policies  in
question shall be altered, allowed to expire or canceled.

XII.6 Change in Limits.  In the event that Lessor  shall at any time  reasonably
and in good faith believe the limits of the personal injury,  property damage or
general public liability insurance then carried to be insufficient,  the parties
shall endeavor to agree on the proper and  reasonable  limits for such insurance
to be carried and such  insurance  shall  thereafter  be carried with the limits
thus agreed on until further change  pursuant to the provisions of this Section.
If the  parties  shall be unable to agree  thereon,  the proper  and  reasonable
limits for such  insurance  shall be  determined  by an  impartial  third  party

                                       15
<PAGE>
selected by the parties the costs of which shall be divided  equally between the
parties. Such  redeterminations,  whether made by the parties or by arbitration,
shall be made no more  frequently  than every year.  Nothing herein shall permit
the amount of  insurance  to be reduced  below the amount or amounts  reasonably
required by any Facility Mortgagee.

XII.7 Blanket Policy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Section,  Lessee's obligations to carry the insurance provided for herein may be
brought  within the  coverage  of a  so-called  blanket  policy or  policies  of
insurance carried and maintained by Lessee;  provided that the coverage afforded
Lessor will not be reduced or  diminished  or otherwise  be different  from that
which would exist under separate policies meeting all other requirements of this
Lease;  provided further that the requirements of this Article XII are otherwise
satisfied.

XII.8 No Separate Insurance. Without the prior written consent of Lessor, Lessee
shall not, on Lessee's own  initiative or pursuant to the request or requirement
of  any  third  party,  take  out  separate  insurance  concurrent  in  form  or
contributing  in the event of loss with that  required in this Article XII to be
furnished by, or which may reasonably be required by a Facility  Mortgagee to be
furnished by,  Lessee,  or increase the amounts of any  then-existing  insurance
required  under this Article XII by securing an additional  policy or additional
policies,  unless all parties having an insurable interest in the subject matter
of the insurance, including in all cases Lessor and all Facility Mortgagees, are
included  therein as  additional  insureds  and the loss is  payable  under said
insurance  in the same manner as losses are  required  to be payable  under this
Lease.  Lessee  shall  immediately  notify  Lessor of the taking out of any such
separate  insurance  or  of  the  increasing  of  any  of  the  amounts  of  the
then-existing   insurance  required  under  this  Article  XII  by  securing  an
additional policy or additional policies.

XII.9 Insurance for  Contractors.  If Lessee shall engage or cause to be engaged
any contractor to perform work on the Leased Property, Lessee shall require such
contractor to carry and maintain insurance coverage  comparable to the foregoing
requirements,  at no  expense  to  Lessor;  provided  that in cases  where  such
coverage is excessive  in relation to the work being done,  Lessee may allow any
such contractor to carry or maintain  alternative coverage in reasonable amounts
upon Lessor's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

                                  ARTICLE XIII
                                FIRE AND CASUALTY

XIII.1 Insurance Proceeds.  All proceeds payable by reason of any loss or damage
to the Leased Property or any portion  thereof,  and insured under any policy of
insurance required by Article XII of this Lease shall be paid to Lessor and held
by Lessor in trust (subject to the provisions of Section 13.7) and shall be made
available for  reconstruction or repair, as the case may be, of any damage to or
destruction of the Leased Property,  or any portion  thereof,  and shall be paid
out by Lessor from time to time for the reasonable  cost of such  reconstruction
or repair in  accordance  with this  Article  XIII after  Lessee has expended an
amount equal to or  exceeding  the  deductible  under any  applicable  insurance
policy.  Any excess proceeds of insurance  remaining after the completion of the
restoration or reconstruction of the Leased Property shall be retained by Lessee
free and clear upon  completion  of any such  repair and  restoration  except as
otherwise specifically provided below in this Article XIII; provided that in the
event  neither  Lessor nor Lessee is required or elects to repair or restore the
Leased Property,  then all such insurance  proceeds shall be retained by Lessor.
All salvage resulting from any risk covered by insurance shall belong to Lessee,
including any salvage relating to Capital Additions paid for by Lessee.

XIII.2  Reconstruction  in  the  Event  of  Damage  or  Destruction  Covered  by
Insurance.

         (a) Facility  Rendered  Unsuitable for Its Primary Intended Use. Except
as  provided in Section  13.7,  if during the Term,  the  Facility is totally or
partially  destroyed  from a risk covered by the

                                       16
<PAGE>
insurance  described  in  Article  XII  and the  Facility  thereby  is  rendered
Unsuitable for its Primary  Intended Use, such damage or  destruction  shall not
terminate this Lease and all of Lessee's  obligations with respect to payment of
the Rent shall  continue  in full  force and  effect  and shall not be  affected
thereby and Lessee shall either:

                  (i) apply all proceeds payable with respect thereto to restore
         the Facility to substantially the same condition as existed immediately
         prior to such damage or destruction, or

                  (ii)  offer  either (A) to acquire  the Leased  Property  from
         Lessor for a purchase price equal to the Minimum Purchase Amount of the
         Leased Property  immediately prior to such damage or destruction or (B)
         to  substitute a new  property or  properties  for the Leased  Property
         pursuant to and in accordance  with the provisions of Article XX (which
         offers Lessor may in its sole discretion refuse).

Lessee shall give written notice to Lessor within 60 days after the date of such
damage or  destruction  whether Lessee chooses option (i) or option (ii), and if
option (ii) is chosen, such notice shall be accompanied by the offer referred to
therein. In the event Lessee fails to give such notice or does not make an offer
under option  (ii),  Lessee  shall  promptly  proceed to restore the Facility to
substantially  the same condition as existed  immediately prior to the damage or
destruction.  If Lessor  does not accept  Lessee's  offer to  substitute  for or
purchase  the  Leased  Property  within 30 days  after  the date of such  offer,
Lessee's  offer  shall be deemed  withdrawn  on such 30th day and  Lessee  shall
promptly proceed to restore the Facility to substantially  the same condition as
existed immediately prior to such damage for destruction.

         (b) Facility  Not Rendered  Unsuitable  for Its Primary  Intended  Use.
Except as  provided  in  Section  13.7,  if during  the Term,  the  Facility  is
partially  destroyed  from a risk covered by the insurance  described in Article
XII,  but the  Facility  is not  thereby  rendered  Unsuitable  for its  Primary
Intended  Use,  Lessee  shall  restore the  Facility to  substantially  the same
condition as existed  immediately  prior to the damage or  destruction  and such
damage  or  destruction  shall not  terminate  this  Lease  and all of  Lessee's
obligations  hereunder,  including  Lessee's  obligations  with  respect  to the
payment of the Rent,  shall  continue  in full force and effect and shall not be
affected thereby; provided that if Lessee cannot within a reasonable time obtain
all necessary  governmental  approvals,  including  building permits,  licenses,
conditional use permits and any  certificates of need, after diligent efforts to
do so, in order to be able to perform all required repair and  restoration  work
and to operate the Facility for its Primary  Intended Use in  substantially  the
same  manner as  immediately  prior to such damage or  destruction,  then Lessee
shall either:

                  (i) offer  either (A) to acquire  that  Leased  Property  from
         Lessor  for a  purchase  price  equal to the  Minimum  Purchase  Amount
         immediately prior to such damage or destruction, or (B) to substitute a
         new property or properties for the Leased  Property  pursuant to and in
         accordance  with the  provisions  of Article XX (which offers Lessor in
         its sole discretion may refuse), or

                  (ii) after the fourth  anniversary of the  Commencement  Date,
         offer to purchase the Leased  Property from Lessor for a purchase price
         equal to the Minimum Purchase Amount of the Leased Property immediately
         prior to such damage or destruction.

Lessee shall give written notice to Lessor within 60 days after the date of such
damage or destruction whether Lessee chooses option (i)(A) or option (i)(B), and
if option (i)(B) or option (ii) is chosen,  such notice shall be  accompanied by
the offer referred to therein.  In the event Lessee fails to give such notice or
does not make an offer under  option (i) or option (ii),  Lessee shall  promptly
proceed to restore the


                                       17
<PAGE>
Facility to substantially the same condition as existed immediately prior to the
damage or  destruction.  If Lessor does not accept  Lessee's offer to substitute
for or purchase the Leased Property within 30 days after the date of such offer,
Lessee's  offer  shall be deemed  withdrawn  on such 30th day and  Lessee  shall
promptly proceed to restore the Facility to substantially  the same condition as
existed immediately prior to such damage for destruction.

XIII.3  Reconstruction  in the Event of Damage or  Destruction  Not  Covered  by
Insurance.  Except as provided in Section  13.7, if during the Term the Facility
is  totally or  materially  destroyed  from a risk  (including  earthquake)  not
covered by the insurance described in Article XII, whether or not such damage or
destruction renders the Facility Unsuitable for Its Primary Intended Use, Lessee
shall:

                  (i) restore the Facility to  substantially  the same condition
         it was in  immediately  prior to such  damage or  destruction  and such
         damage  or  destruction  shall not  terminate  this  Lease,  and all of
         Lessee's  obligations  hereunder,  including Lessee's  obligations with
         respect to the  payment of the Rent,  shall  continue in full force and
         effect and not be affected thereby, or

                  (ii)  offer  either (A) to acquire  the Leased  Property  from
         Lessor  for a  purchase  price  equal to the  Minimum  Purchase  Amount
         immediately prior to such damage or destruction, or (B) to substitute a
         new property or properties for the Leased  Property  pursuant to and in
         accordance  with the  provisions  of Article XX (which offers Lessor in
         its sole  discretion  may  refuse);  provided  that if such  damage  or
         destruction is not material in the reasonable opinion of Lessor, Lessee
         shall  restore the  Facility to  substantially  the same  condition  as
         existed immediately prior to any such damage or destruction.

Lessee shall give written notice to Lessor within 60 days after the date of such
damage or  destruction  whether Lessee chooses option (i) or option (ii), and if
option (ii) is chosen such notice shall be  accompanied by the offer referred to
therein.  If Lessor does not accept Lessee's offer to substitute for or purchase
the Leased Property within 30 days after the date of such offer,  Lessee's offer
shall be deemed to be withdrawn on such 30th day. If such offer is so withdrawn,
or if Lessee  fails to purchase  the Leased  Property or to provide a Substitute
Property in accordance with Article XX, then such damage and  destruction  shall
be deemed to be a total Taking of such  Facility  under  Section  14.2,  and the
provisions of said Section 14.2 shall apply to the rights of the parties and all
insurance  proceeds payable in connection with such damage or destruction  shall
be treated as if such proceeds constituted an "Award" under said Section 14.2.

XIII.4 Lessee's  Property.  Lessee shall use any insurance  proceeds  payable by
reason of any loss of or damage to any of the Personal  Property to restore such
Personal Property to the Leased Property with items of substantially  equivalent
value to the items being replaced.

XIII.5  Restoration  of  Lessee's  Property.  If Lessee is required or elects to
restore the  Facility as provided in Sections  13.2 or 13.3,  Lessee  shall also
restore the Personal  Property  related  thereto as required by Section 13.4 and
all Capital Additions paid for or financed by Lessor. Insurance proceeds payable
by reason of damage to Capital Additions paid for or financed by Lessor shall be
paid to Lessor and Lessor shall hold such insurance proceeds in trust to pay the
cost of repairing or replacing  such Capital  Additions in the event Lessee does
not purchase or substitute other property or properties for the Leased Property.
All  other  insurance  proceeds  shall  be paid  to  Lessee  to pay the  cost of
replacing or restoring any Capital Additions paid for or financed by Lessee.

XIII.6 No  Abatement  of the Rent.  This  Lease  shall  remain in full force and
effect and  Lessee's  obligation  to make rental  payments  and to pay all other
charges  required by this Lease shall remain unabated during any period required
for repair and restoration.

                                       18
<PAGE>

XIII.7 Damage Near End of Term.  Notwithstanding any provisions of Sections 13.2
or 13.3 to the  contrary,  if damage to or  destruction  of the Facility  occurs
during the last 12 months of the Term, and if such damage or destruction  cannot
be fully  repaired and restored  within the lesser of (i) six months or (ii) the
period remaining in the Term immediately following the date of loss, then either
party  shall  have the  right  to  terminate  this  Lease by  giving  notice  of
termination  to the  other  within  30 days  after  the date of such  damage  or
destruction,  in which event  Lessor  shall be entitled to retain the  insurance
proceeds and Lessee  shall pay to Lessor on demand the amount of any  deductible
or uninsured loss arising in connection therewith; provided that any such notice
given by Lessor shall be void and of no force and effect if Lessee  exercises an
available  option to extend the Term for one Extended  Term,  or one  additional
Extended  Term,  as the case may be,  within 30 days  following  receipt of such
termination notice.

XIII.8 Purchase or Substitution. In the event Lessor accepts any offer by Lessee
to purchase the Leased  Property or to substitute a property or  properties  for
the Leased  Property,  this Lease shall  terminate  upon payment of the purchase
price and execution and delivery of all documentation in accordance with Article
XVII, or execution and delivery of all documents  required in connection  with a
Substitute  Property  under Article XX. Lessor shall remit to Lessee,  or in the
case of a purchase  allow Lessee a credit toward the purchase  price,  an amount
equal to all insurance proceeds being held in trust by Lessor.

XIII.9  Waiver.  Lessee hereby  knowingly and expressly  waives any statutory or
common  law  rights of  termination  which may arise by reason of any  damage or
destruction of the Facility.

                                   ARTICLE XIV
                                  CONDEMNATION

XIV.1 Parties' Rights and Obligations. If during the Term there is any Taking of
all or any  part  of the  Leased  Property  or any  interest  in this  Lease  by
Condemnation,  the rights and  obligations of the parties shall be determined by
this Article XIV.

XIV.2  Total  Taking.  If there is a Taking  of all of the  Leased  Property  by
Condemnation,  this Lease shall terminate on the Date of Taking, and the Minimum
Rent and all Additional  Charges paid or payable  hereunder shall be apportioned
and paid to the Date of Taking.

XIV.3 Partial  Taking.  If there is a Taking of a portion of the Leased Property
by Condemnation  such that the Facility is not thereby  rendered  Unsuitable for
Its Primary  Intended  Use,  this Lease shall not  terminate and all of Lessee's
obligations  hereunder,  including  Lessee's  obligations  with  respect  to the
payment of the Rent,  shall  continue  in full force and effect and shall not be
affected thereby.  If, however,  the Facility is thereby rendered Unsuitable for
Its Primary Intended Use, Lessee shall either:

                  (i) at Lessee's expense,  restore the Facility,  to the extent
         possible,  to substantially  the same condition as existed  immediately
         prior to the partial  Taking,  in which case the  proceeds of any Award
         shall  be  applied  to such  restoration  to the  extent  necessary  or
         appropriate, or

                  (ii)  offer  either (A) to acquire  the Leased  Property  from
         Lessor for a purchase price equal to the Minimum Purchase Amount of the
         Leased Property  immediately  prior to such partial  Taking,  or (B) to
         substitute  a new  property  or  properties  for  the  Leased  Property
         pursuant to and in accordance  with the provisions of Article XX (which
         offers Lessor may in its sole discretion refuse), or

                                       19
<PAGE>

                  (iii)  terminate this Lease  effective upon the effective date
         of such Taking.

Lessee will give written  notice to Lessor within 60 days after Lessee  receives
notice of the Taking whether Lessee chooses option (i), option (ii)(A) or option
(ii)(B) or option (iii),  and if option (ii)(B) is chosen,  such notice shall be
accompanied  by the offer  referred  to  therein.  In the event  Lessor does not
accept  Lessee's offer to so purchase the Leased  Property  within 30 days after
receipt of the notice described in the preceding sentence, Lessee may either (a)
withdraw  its offer to purchase  the Leased  Property and proceed to restore the
Facility, to the extent possible, to substantially the same condition as existed
immediately  prior to the partial  Taking,  or (b)  terminate the offer and this
Lease by written notice to Lessor.

XIV.4 Restoration.  If there is a partial Taking of the Leased Property and this
Lease remains in full force and effect pursuant to any provision of this Article
XIV, Lessee shall accomplish all necessary  restoration in order that the Leased
Property may continue to be used for its Primary Intended Use.

XIV.5 Award  Distribution.  In the event Lessee  purchases  the Leased  Property
pursuant to Section  14.3 or Lessor  accepts any offer by Lessee to purchase the
Leased Property or to provide a Substitute  Property  therefor  pursuant to this
Article XIV,  then the entire Award shall belong to Lessee and Lessor  agrees to
assign to Lessee  all of its  rights  thereto.  Except  as  otherwise  expressly
provided in this  Article  XIV, in any other event the entire Award shall belong
to and be  paid  to  Lessor;  provided  that  if this  Lease  is  terminated  in
accordance  with  Section  14.2(b) or 14.3(a),  and subject to the rights of any
Facility Mortgagees,  Lessee shall be entitled to receive from the Award any sum
attributable  to any Capital  Additions  for which  Lessee  would be entitled to
reimbursement  at the end of the Term  pursuant  to the  provisions  of  Section
9.2(b),  but only if and to the extent such Award expressly  includes such items
and  allocates a value  thereto.  If Lessee is required or elects to restore the
Facility,  Lessor agrees that, subject to the rights of the Facility Mortgagees,
its  portion of the Award shall be used for such  restoration  and it shall hold
such  portion  of the  Award  in  trust,  for  application  to the  costs of the
restoration.

XIV.6 Temporary Taking. The Taking of the Leased Property,  or any part thereof,
by military or other public  authority shall constitute a Taking by Condemnation
only when the use and occupancy by the Taking authority has continued for longer
than six months.  During any such  six-month  period all the  provisions of this
Lease shall  remain in full force and effect and the Rent shall not be abated or
reduced  during  such  period  of  Taking;  provided  that  to  the  extent  any
compensation  is paid by the  Taking  authority  as a result  of such  temporary
Taking, Lessee will retain such compensation.

XIV.7 Purchase or Substitution.  In the event Lessor accepts any offer by Lessee
to purchase the Leased  Property or to substitute a property or  properties  for
the Leased  Property,  this Lease shall  terminate  upon payment of the purchase
price and execution and delivery of all appropriate  documentation in accordance
with Article  XVII,  or  execution  and  delivery of all  documents  required in
connection with a Substitute Property under Article XX.

                                   ARTICLE XV
                                     DEFAULT

XV.1  Events of  Default.  The  occurrence  of any one or more of the  following
events shall constitute events of default  (individually,  an "Event of Default"
and, collectively, "Events of Default") hereunder:

         (a) An event of default shall occur under any other lease (the "Related
Leases")  between  Lessor  or any of its  Affiliates  and  Lessee  or any of its
Affiliates,  which  event of default is not cured  within the  applicable  grace
period set forth therein;

                                       20
<PAGE>

         (b) Lessee  shall fail to make a payment of the Rent  payable by Lessee
under  this  Lease  when the  same  becomes  due and  payable  and such  failure
continues for a period of ten calendar days after written  notice from Lessor to
Lessee;

         (c) Lessee shall fail to observe or perform any other term, covenant or
condition of this Lease or any document executed in connection herewith and such
failure  is not cured by  Lessee  within a period of 30 days  after  receipt  by
Lessee of notice  thereof  from  Lessor,  unless  such  failure  cannot with due
diligence be cured within a period of 30 days,  in which case such failure shall
not be deemed to continue if Lessee proceeds  promptly and with due diligence to
cure the  failure  and  diligently  completes  the  curing  thereof  (as soon as
reasonably possible);

         (d)      Lessee shall:

                    (i)  admit  in  writing  its  inability  to  pay  its  debts
               generally as they become due,

                    (ii) file a petition  in  bankruptcy  or a petition  to take
               advantage of any insolvency law,

                    (iii) make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors,

                    (iv) consent to the  appointment  of a receiver of itself or
               of the whole or any substantial part of its property,

                    (v) file a  petition  or answer  seeking  reorganization  or
               arrangement  under  the  Federal  bankruptcy  laws  or any  other
               applicable  law or statute of the United States of America or any
               state thereof;

         (e) Lessee shall default beyond any applicable  grace period  contained
in one or more major  credit  facilities  which by their terms  would  permit an
outstanding balance equal to or greater than $10,000,000.00 in the aggregate and
the same shall be accelerated by the lenders or other applicable parties; or

         (f) Lessee's corporate parent company,  Guarantor,  fails to maintain a
Consolidated Tangible Net Worth of at least $50,000,000.00.

XV.2 Remedies.  If an Event of Default shall have  occurred,  Lessor may, at its
election,  then  or at any  time  thereafter,  pursue  any  one or  more  of the
following remedies, in addition to any remedies which may be permitted by law or
by other provisions of this Lease,  without further notice or demand,  except as
hereinafter provided:

         (a) Without any notice or demand whatsoever, Lessor may take any one or
more  actions  permissible  at law to ensure  performance  by Lessee of Lessee's
covenants and obligations under this Lease. In this regard, it is agreed that if
Lessee abandons or vacates the Leased  Property,  Lessor may enter upon and take
possession of such Leased Property in order to protect it from deterioration and
continue to demand from Lessee the monthly rentals and other charges provided in
this  Lease.  Lessor  shall  use  reasonable  efforts  to relet on  commercially
reasonable terms but shall have no absolute obligation to relet. If Lessor does,
at its sole  discretion,  elect to relet the  Leased  Property,  such  action by
Lessor shall not be deemed as an acceptance of Lessee's  surrender of the Leased
Property unless Lessor expressly  notifies Lessee of such acceptance in writing,
Lessee hereby acknowledging that Lessor shall otherwise be reletting as Lessee's
agent.  It is further  agreed in this  regard  that in the event of any Event of
Default  described in this Article XV, Lessor shall have the right to enter upon
the Leased Property and do whatever Lessee is obligated to do under the terms of
this  Lease.  Lessee  agrees to  reimburse  Lessor


                                       21
<PAGE>

on demand for any  reasonable  expenses which Lessor may incur in thus effecting
compliance with Lessee's  obligations  under this Lease, and further agrees that
Lessor shall not be liable for any damages resulting to Lessee from such action,
except as may result from Lessor's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

         (b) Lessor may  terminate  this Lease by written  notice to Lessee,  in
which event Lessee shall  immediately  surrender the Leased  Property to Lessor,
and if Lessee fails to do so, Lessor may, without  prejudice to any other remedy
which  Lessor  may have for  possession  or  arrearage  in rent  (including  any
interest  which  may have  accrued  pursuant  to  Section  2.3 of this  Lease or
otherwise),  to the  extent  permitted  by  applicable  law enter  upon and take
possession  of the  Leased  Property  and expel or remove  Lessee  and any other
person who may be occupying said premises or any part thereof other than Tenants
pursuant to Tenant Leases. In addition, Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor on demand
the  amount of all loss and  damage  which  Lessor  may  suffer by reason of any
termination effected pursuant to this subsection (b), said loss and damage to be
determined,  at Lessor's option, by either of the following alternative measures
of damages:

                  (i) Although  Lessor shall be under no absolute  obligation to
         attempt and shall be obligated only to use reasonable efforts, to relet
         the Leased  Property,  until the Leased  Property is relet Lessee shall
         pay to  Lessor on or before  the first day of each  calendar  month the
         monthly  rentals and other  charges  provided in this Lease.  After the
         Leased Property has been relet by Lessor, Lessee shall pay to Lessor on
         the 10th day of each calendar month the difference  between the monthly
         rentals  and other  charges  provided  in this Lease for the  preceding
         calendar month and that actually collected by Lessor for such month. If
         it is  necessary  for  Lessor  to bring  suit in order to  collect  any
         deficiency,  Lessor  shall have a right to allow such  deficiencies  to
         accumulate  and to bring an action  on  several  or all of the  accrued
         deficiencies  at one time. Any such suit shall not prejudice in any way
         the  right of  Lessor  to bring a  similar  action  for any  subsequent
         deficiency  or  deficiencies.  Any  amount  collected  by  Lessor  from
         subsequent  tenants  for any  calendar  month in excess of the  monthly
         rentals and other  charges  provided in this Lease shall be credited to
         Lessee in reduction of Lessee's  liability  for any calendar  month for
         which the  amount  collected  by Lessor  will be less than the  monthly
         rentals and other charges provided in this Lease, but Lessee shall have
         no right to such excess other than the above described credit; or

                  (ii) When Lessor desires, Lessor may demand a final settlement
         not to exceed  the  Minimum  Purchase  Amount at the time of such final
         settlement.  Upon demand for a final  settlement,  Lessor  shall have a
         right to, and Lessee hereby agrees to pay, the  difference  between the
         total of all monthly  rentals and other charges  provided in this Lease
         for the  remainder of the Term and the  reasonable  rental value of the
         Leased  Property for such period  (including a reasonable time to relet
         the Leased  Property),  as  determined  pursuant to the  provisions  of
         Article  XXVIII  hereof,  such  difference  to be discounted to present
         value  at a rate  equal  to the  Treasury  Yield  then in  effect  with
         maturity periods substantially equivalent to the balance of the Initial
         Term or any Extended Term exercised by Lessee  pursuant to the terms of
         Article XXXIV.

         The rights and remedies of Lessor hereunder are cumulative, and pursuit
of any of the above  remedies  shall not preclude  pursuit of any other remedies
prescribed in other  sections of this Lease and any other  remedies  provided by
law or  equity.  Forbearance  by Lessor to enforce  one or more of the  remedies
herein  provided  upon an Event of Default  shall not be deemed or  construed to
constitute  a waiver of such Event of Default.  Exercise by Lessor of any one or
more  remedies  shall not  constitute  an  acceptance of surrender of the Leased
Property by Lessee, it being understood that such surrender can be effected only
by the prior written agreement of Lessor and Lessee.

XV.3  Additional  Expenses.   In  addition  to  payments  required  pursuant  to
subsections (a) and (b) of Section 15.2 above,  Lessee shall  compensate  Lessor
for all  reasonable  expenses  incurred  by Lessor in  repossessing  the  Leased
Property  (including any increase in insurance premiums caused by the vacancy of
the Leased  Property),  all reasonable  expenses incurred by Lessor in reletting
(including  repairs,  remodeling,  replacements,  advertisements  and  brokerage
fees),  all  reasonable  concessions  granted  to a new  tenant  upon  reletting
(including renewal options previously granted by Lessee),  all fees and expenses
incurred by Lessor as a direct or indirect result of any appropriate action by a
Facility  Mortgagee,  any expenses of Lessor  incurred for the  installation  of
separate  lines or  meters  for any  public  utilities  not  previously  metered
separately from adjacent property of Lessee.

XV.4  Application of Funds. All payments  otherwise  payable to Lessee which are
received  by  Lessor  under  any of the  provisions  of this  Lease  during  the
existence or  continuance  of any Event of Default  shall be applied to Lessee's
obligations  in the order which  Lessor may  reasonably  determine  or as may be
prescribed by the laws of the state in which the Facility is located.

                                   ARTICLE XVI
                             LESSOR'S RIGHT TO CURE

         If Lessee,  without the prior written consent of Lessor,  shall fail to
make any payment,  or to perform any act required to be made or performed  under
this Lease and to cure the same within the  relevant  time  periods  provided in
Section 15.1,  Lessor,  without  waiving or releasing any obligation or Event of
Default,  may (but shall be under no obligation to) make such payment or perform
such act for the account  and at the  expense of Lessee,  and may, to the extent
permitted by law,  enter upon the Leased  Property for such purpose and take all
such action  thereon as, in Lessor's  opinion,  may be necessary or  appropriate
therefor.  No such entry shall be deemed an eviction of Lessee. All sums so paid
by Lessor,  together with a late charge thereon (to the extent permitted by law)
at the  Overdue  Rate from the date on which such sums or  expenses  are paid or
incurred by Lessor, and all costs and expenses (including  reasonable attorneys'
fees and  expenses,  in each case,  to the extent  permitted by law) so incurred
shall be paid by Lessee  to Lessor on  demand.  The  obligations  of Lessee  and
rights of Lessor  contained  in this Article  shall  survive the  expiration  or
earlier termination of this Lease.

                                  ARTICLE XVII
                         PURCHASE OF THE LEASED PROPERTY

         In the event Lessee  purchases the Leased Property from Lessor pursuant
to any of the terms of this Lease, Lessor shall, upon receipt from Lessee of the
applicable  purchase  price  (after  credit  for  the  balance  of  the  Capital
Replacement  Account),  together  with full  payment of any unpaid  Rent due and
payable with respect to any period  ending on or before the date of the purchase
and  any  other  amounts  owing  to  Lessor  hereunder,  deliver  to  Lessee  an
appropriate special warranty deed (in substantially the same form used to convey
the Leased Property to Lessor) and any other documents  reasonably  requested by
Lessee to convey the interest of Lessor in and to the Leased Property to Lessee,
and such other standard documents usually and customarily prepared in connection
with such  transfers,  free and clear of all  encumbrances  other than (a) those
that Lessee has agreed hereunder to pay or discharge,  (b) those mortgage liens,
if any,  which Lessee has agreed in writing to accept and to take title  subject
to, (c) any other  Encumbrances  permitted to be imposed on the Leased  Property
under the  provisions of Article XXXII which are assumable at no cost to Lessee,
and (d) any matters  affecting the Leased Property on or as of the  Commencement
Date. The difference between the applicable  purchase price and the total of the
encumbrances assigned or taken subject to shall be paid in cash to Lessor, or as
Lessor may direct,  in federal or other  immediately  available  funds except as
otherwise  mutually  agreed by Lessor and  Lessee.  The closing of any such sale
shall  be  contingent  upon  and  subject  to  Lessee   obtaining  all  required
governmental  consents and approvals for such transfer.  If such sale shall fail
to be  consummated  by reason  of the  inability  of  Lessee to obtain  all such
approvals and  consents,  any options to extend the Term which  otherwise  would
have  expired  during the  period  from the date when  Lessee  elected or became
obligated to purchase the Leased Property until Lessee's inability to obtain the
approvals  and consents is confirmed  shall be deemed to remain in effect for 30
days after the end of such  period.  The closing  with  respect to any such sale
shall be  appropriately  timed to accommodate the  determination  of the Minimum
Purchase  Amount  in  accordance  with  Article  XXVIII.  All  expenses  of such
conveyance,  including the cost of title  examination or standard coverage title
insurance, reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Lessor in connection with such
conveyance,  transfer  taxes  and  recording  fees  shall  be  paid  by  Lessee.
Additionally,  any sale to Lessee  shall be subject to delivery of an opinion of
Lessor's  counsel  confirming  that (i) the sale  will not  result  in  ordinary
recapture  income to Lessor  pursuant to Code  Section 1245 or 1250 or any other
Code provision, (ii) the sale will result in income, if any, to Lessor of a type
described in Code Section  856(c)(2) or 856(c)(3)  and will not result in income
of the types  described in Code  Section  856(c)(4) or result in the tax imposed
under  Code  Section  857(b)(6),  and (iii) the  sale,  together  with all other
substitutions and sales made or requested by Lessee pursuant to any other leases
with Lessor of properties  hereto or any other  transfers of the Leased Property
or the properties leased under other such operating leases,  during the relevant
time period,  will not jeopardize the  qualification  of Lessor as a real estate
investment trust under Code Sections 856-860.

                                  ARTICLE XVIII
                                  HOLDING OVER

         If Lessee  shall for any  reason  remain in  possession  of the  Leased
Property after the expiration of the Term or any earlier termination of the Term
hereof,  such possession  shall be as a tenancy at will during which time Lessee
shall pay as  rental  each  month an amount  equal to the sum of (a) 150% of the
aggregate of 1/12 of the aggregate Minimum Rent payable with respect to the last
complete  year  prior to the  expiration  of the Term,  plus (b) all  Additional
Charges  accruing  during such month,  plus (c) all other sums, if any,  payable
pursuant to the  provisions  of this Lease with respect to the Leased  Property.
During such period of tenancy,  Lessee and Lessor  shall be obligated to perform
and  observe all of the terms,  covenants  and  conditions  of this Lease and to
continue its occupancy and use of the Leased Property.  Nothing contained herein
shall constitute the consent,  express or implied, of Lessor to the holding over
of Lessee after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

                                   ABANDONMENT

XIX.1   Discontinuance   of  Operations  on  the  Leased   Property;   Offer  of
Substitution.  If Lessee has  discontinued  use of the Leased  Property  for its
Primary  Intended Use for 90  consecutive  days without  Lessor's  prior written
consent  for  alterations  or  remodeling  pursuant  to Article  IX,  repairs or
restoration pursuant to Article XIII or Article XIV or otherwise,  then provided
Lessor has not terminated this Lease pursuant to Section 15.2,  Lessee may offer
to substitute a new property or properties for the Leased  Property  pursuant to
and in accordance  with the provisions of Article XX (which offers Lessor may in
its sole discretion refuse).

XIX.2  Obsolescence  of the Leased  Property;  Offer to Purchase.  If the Leased
Property becomes Unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use, all as set forth in an
Officer's  Certificate delivered to Lessor. Lessee may on or after the fifteenth
anniversary of the  Commencement  Date (provided this Lease is still in effect),
purchase  the  Leased  Property  for the  Minimum  Purchase  Amount on the first
Payment Date  occurring not less than 120 days after the date of such  Officer's
Certificate.

XIX.3 Conveyance of Leased Property.  In the event Lessee elects to purchase the
Leased  Property  pursuant  to  Section  19.2,  then on the first  Payment  Date
occurring  not less than 120 days  after the date of the  Officer's  Certificate
referred to in Section  19.2,  Lessor  shall,  upon  receipt  from Lessee of the
Minimum  Purchase  Amount  as of the date of such  purchase  and all Rent and or
other sums then due and payable under this Lease  (excluding any  installment of
Minimum Rent due on such Payment Date),  convey the Leased Property to Lessee on
such date in accordance with the provisions of Article XVII and this Lease shall
thereupon terminate as to the Leased Property.

XIX.4 Option to  Purchase.  In return for the payment by Lessee to Lessor of the
amount  of  $500.00  as  valuable  consideration  and  other  good and  valuable
consideration,  the  adequacy,  sufficiency,  payment  and  receipt of which are
hereby  acknowledged,  within 180 days prior to the end of the Initial  Term and
each Extended Term  exercised by Lessee  pursuant to the terms of Article XXXIV,
Lessee shall have the option to purchase the Leased Property upon written notice
to Lessor for a purchase  price equal to the  Minimum  Purchase  Amount.  If not
sooner exercised, the option to purchase granted hereby will expire and be of no
further force and effect upon the expiration the Term or the termination of this
Lease pursuant to the terms of Article XV.

                                   ARTICLE XX
                            SUBSTITUTION OF PROPERTY

XX.1     Substitution of Property for the Leased Property.

         (a) In the event Lessor accepts an offer by Lessee to substitute  other
property for the Leased Property under Article XIII, Article XIV or Article XIX,
and provided  that no Event of Default  shall have  occurred and be  continuing,
Lessee shall have the right  (subject to the  conditions set forth below in this
Article  XX, and upon  notice to Lessor) to  substitute  one or more  properties
(collectively  referred  to as  "Substitute  Properties"  or  individually  as a
"Substitute  Property")  for the  Leased  Property  on a  monthly  Payment  Date
specified in such notice (the  "Substitution  Date")  occurring not less than 90
days after receipt by Lessor of such notice.  The notice shall be in the form of
an  Officer's  Certificate  and shall  specify the  reason(s)  for the  proposed
substitution  and  the  proposed  Substitution  Date.  Notwithstanding  anything
contained herein to the contrary, any other substitution for the Leased Property
shall require the prior written consent of Lessor which shall be within the sole
discretion of Lessor.

         (b) If Lessee gives the notice  referred to in Section  20.1(a)  above,
Lessee shall present to Lessor one or more  properties (or groups of properties)
each of which  property (or groups of  properties)

                                       25
<PAGE>
shall provide Lessor with a yield (i.e.,  an annual return on its equity in such
property)  equal to or greater than the Current Yield (and the yield  reasonably
expected to be received  thereafter  throughout  the remainder of the term) from
the Leased Property at the time of such proposed substitution (or in the case of
a proposed substitution as a result of damage, destruction or Condemnation,  the
Current Yield immediately prior to such damage, destruction or Condemnation) and
as reasonably  projected  over the remaining Term of this Lease and shall have a
Fair Market  Value  substantially  equivalent  to the Fair  Market  Value of the
Leased  Property.  Lessor  shall have a period of 90 days within which to review
such  information  and either to accept or to reject the Substitute  Property or
Substitute  Properties  so  presented;  provided that if Lessee is required by a
court  order or  administrative  action to divest or  otherwise  dispose  of the
Leased  Property  within a shorter  time  period,  in which case the time period
shall be shortened  appropriately to meet the reasonable needs of Lessee, but in
no event shall said period be less than 15 Business Days after Lessor's  receipt
of said  notice  (subject to further  extension  for any period of time in which
Lessor is not timely provided with the information  provided for in Section 20.2
and  Section  20.3  below);  provided  that if  Lessor  shall  contend  that the
Substitute Properties fail to meet all the conditions for substitution set forth
in this Article XX,  including the provisions of Sections  20.1(c),  (d) and (e)
below,  the matter shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance  with Article
XXXI and the time  periods for Lessor's  approval or  rejection  shall be tolled
during the period of such arbitration.

         (c) It  shall  be a  condition  to  consummation  of  any  substitution
hereunder that all of the conditions set forth in Section 20.2 below, shall have
been  satisfied  with  respect to such  substitution,  and to the delivery of an
opinion  of counsel  for  Lessor  confirming  that (i) the  substitution  of the
Substitute  Property for the Leased  Property will qualify as an exchange solely
of property of a like-kind under Section 1031 of the Code, in which,  generally,
except for "boot" such as cash needed to equalize  exchange  values or discharge
indebtedness,  no gain or loss is recognized to Lessor, (ii) the substitution or
sale will not result in  ordinary  recapture  income to Lessor  pursuant to Code
Section 1245 or 1250 or any other Code provision, (iii) the substitution or sale
will result in income,  if any, to Lessor of a type  described  in Code  Section
856(c)(2) or 856(c)(3)  and will not result in income of the types  described in
Code  Section  856(c)(4)  or  result  in the  tax  imposed  under  Code  Section
857(b)(6),   and  (iv)  the  substitution  or  sale,  together  with  all  other
substitutions and sales made or requested by Lessee pursuant to any other leases
with Lessor of properties  hereto or any other  transfers of the Leased Property
or the properties leased under other such operating leases,  during the relevant
time period,  will not jeopardize the  qualification  of Lessor as a real estate
investment trust under Code Sections 856-860.

         (d) In the event that the equity  value of the  Substitute  Property or
group of Substitute  Properties  (i.e.,  the Fair Market Value of the Substitute
Property or group of Substitute  Properties  minus the  encumbrances  subject to
which  Lessor  will  take  the  Substitute   Property  or  group  of  Substitute
Properties) as of the Substitution  Date is greater than the equity value of the
Leased  Property  (i.e.,  the Fair Market Value of the Leased Property minus the
encumbrances  subject to which  Lessee will take the Leased  Property) as of the
Substitution  Date (or in the case of damage  destruction or  Condemnation,  the
Fair  Market   Value   immediately   prior  to  such  damage,   destruction   or
Condemnation),  Lessor  shall pay to Lessee an amount  equal to the  difference,
subject to the limitation  set forth below.  In the event that said equity value
of the Substitute  Property or group of Substitute  Properties is less than said
equity value of the Leased Property,  Lessee shall pay to Lessor an amount equal
to the  difference,  subject to the limitation set forth below.  Notwithstanding
the  foregoing,  neither  Lessor nor Lessee shall be obligated to consummate any
substitution  if such party  would be required to make a payment to the other in
excess of an amount equal to ten percent of said Fair Market Value of the Leased
Property  (the amount of cash paid by one party to the other  being  hereinafter
referred to as the "Cash Adjustment").

         (e) The Rent for such Substitute Property in all respects shall provide
Lessor with a yield at the time of such substitution (i.e., annual return on its
investment in such Substitute Property) not less than the Current Yield (and the
yield reasonably expected to be received thereafter  throughout the remainder of
the  Term)  from  the  Leased  Property  prior  to any  damage,  destruction  or
Condemnation, taking into account the Cash Adjustment paid or received by Lessor
and any other relevant factors.

                                       26
<PAGE>

         (f)  The  Minimum  Purchase  Amount  of  any  Substitute   Property  or
Substitute Properties shall be an amount equal to the Minimum Purchase Amount of
the  Leased  Property  on the  Substitution  Date  (i)  increased  by  any  Cash
Adjustment  paid by Lessor  pursuant to Section 20.1(d) above, or (ii) decreased
by any Cash Adjustment paid by Lessee pursuant to Section 20.1(d) above.

                                   ARTICLE XXI
                                  RISK OF LOSS

         Except as  otherwise  provided in this  Lease,  during the Term of this

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

         Notwithstanding  the  existence  of any  insurance  or  self  insurance
provided for in Article XII, and without regard to the policy limits of any such
insurance or self insurance,  Lessee will protect,  indemnify, save harmless and
defend Lessor from and against all liabilities,  obligations,  claims,  damages,
penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys'
fees and expenses),  to the extent permitted by law, imposed upon or incurred by
or asserted against Lessor by reason of: (a) any accident, injury to or death of
persons or loss to property occurring on or about the Leased Property, including
any claims of malpractice,  (b) any use, misuse, no use, condition,  maintenance
or repair by Lessee of the Leased Property,  (c) any Impositions  (which are the

Section  shall be paid within ten days after  liability  therefor on the part of
Lessor  is  finally  determined  by  litigation  or  otherwise   (including  the
expiration of any time for appeals) and, if not timely paid, shall bear interest
(to the  extent  permitted  by law) at the  Overdue  Rate  from the date of such
determination  to the date of payment.  Lessee,  at its expense,  shall contest,
resist and defend any such claim,  action or  proceeding  asserted or instituted
against Lessor or may compromise or otherwise dispose of the same as Lessee sees
fit. Lessor shall cooperate with Lessee in a reasonable  manner to permit Lessee
to satisfy  Lessee's  obligations  hereunder,  including  the  execution  of any
instruments or documents reasonably requested by Lessee. Nothing herein shall be
construed as  indemnifying  Lessor or its agents for their own negligent acts or
omissions  or  willful  misconduct.  Lessee's  liability  for a  breach  of  the
provisions of this Article shall survive any termination of this Lease.

XXIII.1  Subletting  and  Assignment.  Subject to the  rights of  Tenants  under
existing  Tenant Leases and subject to the  provisions of Section 23.3 below and
any other  express  conditions  or  limitations  set forth  herein,  Lessee may,
without  the  consent of Lessor,  sublet all or any part of the Leased  Property
consistently  with the  Primary  Intended  Use.  Lessor  shall not  unreasonably
withhold its consent to any other or further subletting or assignment;  provided
that  (a) in the case of a  subletting,  the  sublessee  shall  comply  with the
provisions of Section 23.2, (b) in the case of an assignment, the assignee shall
assume in writing  and agree to keep and  perform all of the terms of this Lease
on the part of Lessee to be kept and performed  and shall be and become  jointly
and severally  liable with Lessee for the performance  thereof,  (c) an original
counterpart of each such sublease and assignment and  assumption,  duly executed
by  Lessee  and such  sublessee  or  assignee,  as the case may be,  in form and
substance  reasonably  satisfactory  to Lessor,  shall be delivered  promptly to
Lessor,  and (d) in case of either an  assignment  or  subletting,  Lessee shall
remain  primarily  liable,  as principal  rather than as surety,  for the prompt
payment  of the  Rent  and  for the  performance  and  observance  of all of the
covenants  and  conditions to be performed by Lessee  hereunder.  In addition to
Lessee's  rights to sublet and assign as provided in this section above,  Lessee
shall also have the right (upon Lessor's prior consent,  which consent shall not
unreasonably  be withheld) to enter into Tenant  Leases which extend  beyond the
Term of this Lease.  To the extent that any such Tenant Leases extend beyond the
Term of this Lease,  Lessor shall receive the rents from, and be responsible for
any  obligations on the part of the landlord or lessor under such Tenant Leases.
Any and all such Tenant Leases shall,  to the extent  applicable,  be subject to
the provisions of this Section and Section 23.2.

XXIII.2  Non-Disturbance,  Subordination  and  Attornment.  Except for  existing
Tenant  Leases,  Lessee shall insert in each written  sublease  permitted  under
Section  23.1  provisions  to the effect  that (a)

                                       29
<PAGE>
such sublease is subject and  subordinate  to all of the terms and provisions of
this  Lease and to the rights of Lessor  hereunder,  (b) in the event this Lease
shall terminate before the expiration of such sublease, the sublessee thereunder
will, at Lessor's option, attorn to Lessor and waive any right the sublessee may
have to terminate the sublease or to surrender possession thereunder as a result
of the  termination of this Lease and (c) in the event the sublessee  receives a
written notice from Lessor or Lessor's assignees, if any, stating that Lessee is
in default under this Lease, the sublessee, shall thereafter be obligated to pay
all rentals  accruing  under said  sublease  directly  to the party  giving such
notice, or as such party may direct.  All rentals received from the sublessee by
Lessor or Lessor's assignees, if any, shall be credited against amounts owing by
Lessee  under this  Lease.  Lessor  agrees  that  notwithstanding  any  default,
termination, expiration, sale, entry or other act or omission of Lessee pursuant
to the terms of this Lease, or at law or in equity,  Tenant's  possession  shall
not be disturbed unless such possession may otherwise be terminated  pursuant to
the terms of the applicable  Tenant Lease.  Lessor hereby agrees,  upon Lessee's
request,  to  execute a  nondisturbance  agreement  in favor of any Tenant or in
favor of any sublessee  under any sublease  permitted  under Section 23.1 above;
provided  that the  Tenant or any such  sublessee  has  acknowledged  all of the
foregoing provisions and executed all documents required by this Section 23.2.

effect (or that this Lease is in full force and effect as  modified  and setting
forth the modifications) and the dates to which the Rent has been paid. Any such
Officer's  Certificate  furnished pursuant to this Article may be relied upon by
Lessor,  any prospective  purchaser of the Leased Property and any third parties

         facilities,  which by their terms would permit an  outstanding  balance
         equal to or greater than $10,000,000.00 in the aggregate, which default
         would permit the holder thereof to accelerate its stated maturity;  (C)

                                   ARTICLE XXV
                                   INSPECTION

         Lessee  shall  permit  Lessor  and its  authorized  representatives  to
inspect the Leased Property during usual business hours subject to any security,
health,  safety or  confidentiality  requirements  of Lessee,  the rights of the
Tenants,  any Insurance  Requirements  relating to the Leased  Property,  or any
other restrictions imposed by law or applicable regulations.

                                  ARTICLE XXVI
                                 QUIET ENJOYMENT

         So long as Lessee  shall pay all Rent as the same becomes due and shall
fully  comply with all of the terms of this Lease and  perform  its  obligations
hereunder,  Lessee shall  peaceably and quietly have,  hold and enjoy the Leased
Property  for the Term  hereof,  free of any claim or other  action by Lessor or
anyone  claiming  by,  through  or under  Lessor,  but  subject to all liens and
encumbrances  of  record  as of the date  hereof or  hereafter  consented  to by
Lessee.  No failure by Lessor to comply with the foregoing  covenant  shall give
Lessee any right to cancel or terminate this Lease,  or to fail to pay any other
sum payable  under this Lease,  or to fail to perform  any other  obligation  of
Lessee hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall have the right by
separate and  independent  action to pursue any claim or seek any damages it may
have  against  Lessor as a result of a breach by Lessor of the covenant of quiet
enjoyment contained in this Article.

                                 ARTICLE XXVIII
                                    APPRAISAL

         In the event that it becomes  necessary  to  determine  the Fair Market
Value,  Fair Market Value  Purchase  Amount,  the Fair Market  Added Value,  the
Minimum  Purchase  Amount or the Fair Market Rental Value of the Leased Property
or a Substitute  Property for any purpose of this Lease,  the party  required or
permitted to give notice of such  required  determination  shall  include in the
notice  the name of a person  selected  to act as an  appraiser  on its  behalf.
Within ten days after receipt of any such notice, Lessor (or Lessee, as the case
may be)  shall by notice to Lessee  (or  Lessor,  as the case may be)  appoint a
second person as an appraiser on its behalf. The appraisers thus appointed (each
of whom must be a member of the American  Institute of Real Estate Appraisers or
any successor  organization thereto) shall, within 45 days after the date of the
notice  appointing the first appraiser,  proceed to appraise the Leased Property
or the  Substitute  Property,  as the  case  may  be,  to  determine  any of the
foregoing  values as of the relevant date (giving effect to the impact,  if any,
of inflation  from the date of their  decision to the relevant  date);  provided
that if only one appraiser  shall have been so appointed,  or if two  appraisers
shall have been so appointed  but only one such  appraiser  shall have made such
determination  within 50 days after the making of Lessee's or Lessor's  request,
then the  determination  of such  appraiser  shall be final and binding upon the
parties.  If two appraisers  shall have been appointed and shall have made their
determinations  within the respective  requisite  periods set forth above and if
the difference between the amounts so determined shall not exceed ten percent of
the lesser of such  amounts,  then the Fair Market  Value or Fair  Market  Added
Value or the Fair Market Rental Value shall be an amount equal to 50% of the sum
of the  amounts  so  determined.  If  the  difference  between  the  amounts  so
determined  shall  exceed  10% of the  lesser  of such  amounts,  then  such two
appraisers  shall  have 20  days  to  appoint  a  third  appraiser,  but if such
appraisers fail to do so, then either party may request the American Arbitration
Association or any successor organization thereto to appoint an appraiser within
20 days of such request,  and both parties shall be bound by any  appointment so
made within such 20-day period.  If no such appraiser  shall have been appointed
within  such  20  days  or  within  90  days  of  the  original  request  for  a
determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Added Value or the Fair Market
Rental  Value,  whichever is earlier,  either  Lessor or Lessee may apply to any
court having  jurisdiction to have appointment made by such court. Any appraiser
appointed,  by the American  Arbitration  Association or by such court, shall be
instructed  to determine the Fair Market Value or Fair Market Added Value or the
Fair Market Rental Value within 30 days after appointment of such appraiser. The
determination of the appraiser which differs most in terms of dollar amount from
the determinations of the other two appraisers shall be excluded, and 50% of the
sum of the remaining two  determinations  shall be final and binding upon Lessor
and  Lessee as the Fair  Market  Value or Fair  Market  Added  Value or the Fair
Market Rental Value for such interest.  However, in the event that following the
appraisal  performed by said third  appraiser,  the dollar amount of two of such
appraisals  are higher and lower,  respectively,  than the dollar  amount of the
remaining appraisal in equal degrees, the determinations of both the highest and
lowest appraisal,  respectively,  shall be rejected and the determination of the
remaining  appraisal  shall be final and  binding  upon Lessor and Lessee as the
Fair Market Value or Fair Market Added Value or the Fair Market Rental Value for
such  interest.   This  provision  for   determination  by  appraisal  shall  be
specifically enforceable to the extent such remedy is available under applicable
law, and any determination hereunder shall be final and binding upon the parties
except as otherwise provided by applicable law. Lessor and Lessee shall each pay
the fees and  expenses  of the  appraiser  appointed  by it and each  shall  pay
one-half of the fees and  expenses of the third  appraiser  and  one-half of all
other costs and expenses incurred in connection with each appraisal.

                                 PURCHASE RIGHTS

         During the Term hereof  (provided that no Event of Default has occurred
and is  continuing),  Lessee shall have a first  refusal  option to purchase the
Leased Property upon the same terms and conditions as Lessor,  or its successors
and  assigns,  shall have  received an offer from a third party to purchase  the
Leased  Property,  which Lessor  intends to accept (or has  accepted  subject to
Lessee's right of first refusal  granted  herein).  If, during the Term,  Lessor
receives  such an offer or reaches such  agreement  with a third  party,  Lessor
shall promptly  notify Lessee of the purchase price for the Leased  Property and
all other  material  terms and  conditions  of such  agreement or proposed  sale
together with a copy of such offer,  and Lessee shall have 30 days after receipt
of such notice  from Lessor  within  which time to exercise  Lessee's  option to
purchase.   If  Lessee  exercises  its  option,  then  such  purchase  shall  be
consummated within the time set forth in the third-party offer and in accordance
with the  provisions  of Article  XVII  hereof to the  extent  not  inconsistent
herewith.  If Lessee shall not exercise  Lessee's option to purchase within said
30-day period after receipt of said notice from Lessor, Lessor shall be free for
a period  of 90 days  after the  expiration  of said  30-day  period to sell the
Leased  Property  to the  third  party at the  price and terms set forth in such
offer.  Whether or not such sale is  consummated,  Lessee  shall be  entitled to
exercise  its right of first  refusal as  provided  in this  Article,  as to any
subsequent sale of the Leased Property during the Term of this Lease.

                                   ARTICLE XXX
                                DEFAULT BY LESSOR

XXX.1  Default by Lessor.  Lessor shall be in default of its  obligations  under
this Lease if Lessor  shall fail to observe  or perform  any term,  covenant  or
condition  of this  Lease on its part to be  performed  and such  failure  shall
continue  for a period of 30 days after  written  notice  thereof is received by
Lessor,  unless such failure  cannot with due diligence be cured within a period
of 30 days,  in which  case such  failure  shall not be  deemed to  continue  if
Lessor,  within said 30-day period,  proceeds promptly and with due diligence to
cure the failure and diligently  completes the curing  thereof.  The time within
which Lessor  shall be obligated to cure any such failure  shall also be subject
to extension of time due to the  occurrence  of any  Unavoidable  Delay.  In the
event  Lessor  fails  to cure any  such  default,  Lessee,  without  waiving  or
releasing  any  obligations  hereunder,  and in addition  to all other  remedies
available to Lessee  hereunder  or at law or in equity,  may purchase the Leased
Property  from  Lessor for a  purchase  price  equal to the  greater of the Fair
Market  Value  Purchase  Amount or the  Minimum  Purchase  Amount of the  Leased
Property  minus an amount  equal to any damage  suffered  by Lessee by reason of
such  default.  In the event Lessee elects to purchase the Leased  Property,  it
shall deliver a notice thereof to Lessor  specifying a Payment Date occurring no
less  than 90 days  subsequent  to the  date of such  notice  on  which it shall
purchase  the Leased  Property,  and the same  shall be  thereupon  conveyed  in
accordance  with the  provisions of Article XVII. Any sums owed Lessee by Lessor
hereunder  shall bear interest at the Overdue Rate from the date due and payable
until the date paid.

XXX.2  Lessee's  Right to Cure.  Subject to the  provisions  of Section 30.1, if
Lessor shall breach any covenant to be performed by it under this Lease, Lessee,
after giving notice to and demand upon Lessor in  accordance  with Section 30.1,
without waiving or releasing any obligation of Lessor hereunder, and in addition
to all other  remedies  available to Lessee  hereunder  and at law or in equity,
Lessee may (but shall be under no  obligation  at any time  thereafter  to) make
such  payment or perform  such act for the account and at the expense of Lessor.
All sums so paid by  Lessee  and all costs and  expenses  (including  reasonable
attorneys' fees) so incurred, together with interest thereon at the Overdue Rate
from the date on which such sums or  expenses  are paid or  incurred  by Lessee,
shall be paid by Lessor to Lessee  on demand or set off  against  the Rent.  The
rights  of  Lessee  hereunder  to cure and to  secure  payment  from  Lessor  in
accordance with this Section 30.2 shall survive the termination of this Lease.

                                   ARBITRATION

XXXI.1  Controversies.  Except  with  respect to the  payment  of  Minimum  Rent
hereunder,  in case any controversy shall arise between the parties hereto as to
any  of  the  requirements  of  this  Lease  or the  performance  thereof  which
controversy  the parties  shall be unable to settle by agreement or as otherwise
provided  herein,  such  controversy  shall be determined by  arbitration  to be
initiated and conducted as provided in this Article XXXI.

XXXI.2 Appointment of Arbitrators.  The party or parties requesting  arbitration
shall serve upon the other a written demand therefor specifying the matter to be
submitted to  arbitration,  and nominating an arbitrator who is a member in good
standing of the American Arbitration  Association ("AAA").  Within 20 days after
receipt of such  written  demand and  notification,  the other party  shall,  in
writing, nominate a person who is a member in good standing with AAA and the two
arbitrators  so designated  shall,  within ten days  thereafter,  select a third
arbitrator  who is a person who is a member in good  standing  with AAA and give
immediate  written notice of such selection to the parties and shall fix in said
notice a time and place for the first meeting of the arbitrators,  which meeting
shall  be held as soon as  conveniently  possible  after  the  selection  of all
arbitrators,  at which time and place the parties to the  controversy may appear
and be heard.

XXXI.3 Third  Arbitrator.  In case the notified  party or parties  shall fail to
make a selection upon notice, as aforesaid, or in case the first two arbitrators
selected shall fail to agree upon a third arbitrator within ten days after their
selection,  then such arbitrator or arbitrators  may, upon  application  made by
either of the parties to the controversy,  after 20 days' written notice thereof
to the other party or parties, have a third arbitrator appointed by any judge of
any United States court of record having  jurisdiction in the state in which the
Leased  Property is located or, if such office shall not then exist,  by a judge
holding an office most nearly corresponding thereto.

XXXI.4  Arbitration  Procedure.  Said arbitrators shall give each of the parties
not less than ten days' written  notice of the time and place of each meeting at
which the  parties or any of them may appear and be heard and after  hearing the
parties in regard to the matter in dispute and taking such other  testimony  and
making such other  examinations and  investigations as justice shall require and
as the arbitrators may deem necessary, they shall decide the questions submitted
to them in accordance with the rules of AAA. The decision of said arbitrators in
writing signed by a majority of them shall be final and binding upon the parties
to such  controversy.  In rendering  such decisions and award,  the  arbitrators
shall not add to,  subtract  from or  otherwise  modify the  provisions  of this
Lease.

XXXI.5  Expenses.  The  expenses of such  arbitration  shall be divided  between
Lessor and Lessee unless otherwise specified in the decision of the arbitrators.
Each party in interest shall pay the fees and expenses of its own counsel.

                                 EXTENDED TERMS

         If no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessee is
hereby granted the right to extend the Term of this Lease for three  additional,

the  option to  extend  only if all of the  Related  Leases  are  simultaneously
extended by Lessee or its  Affiliates.  During each  Extended  Term,  all of the
terms and  conditions  of this Lease  shall  continue  in full force and effect,
except that the Minimum Rent for and during each of the Extended  Terms shall be

XXXV.1  Guarantee.  In consideration of Lessor's  agreement to fund the Purchase
Amount  for  the  purchase  of the  Leased  Property  pursuant  to the  Purchase
Agreement and in  consideration  of the  execution of this Lease by Lessor,  and
upon the terms and provisions hereof,  Guarantor hereby irrevocably,  absolutely
and  unconditionally  warrants and  guarantees  (the  "Guaranty")  to Lessor the
prompt and full payment and  performance  of all of Lessee's  obligations  under
this Lease (the "Guaranteed Obligations").

XXXV.2  Obligations of Guarantor Upon Default.  Upon the occurrence of any Event
of  Default  under this  Lease,  Guarantor  shall,  upon  demand of Lessor:  (i)
immediately  cure such failure to pay and/or perform the applicable  part of the
Guaranteed  Obligations;  and (ii) pay  Lessor  all other  costs and  damages it
incurs  as a result  of such  failure  by any party to pay  and/or  perform  the
Guaranteed Obligations,  including without limitation, all reasonable attorneys'
fees and all other costs it incurs in enforcing the  performance  or the payment
of the Guaranteed Obligations with interest thereon at the Overdue Rate.

XXXV.3  Guarantee  of Payment.  The  Guaranty of Guarantor is not a guarantee of
collection,   but  rather  the   Guaranty  is  an   irrevocable,   absolute  and
unconditional guarantee of payment and performance. Guarantor hereby irrevocably
and  unconditionally  covenants  and  agrees  that  Guarantor  is liable for the
Guaranteed  Obligations as a primary obligor.  Any Guaranteed  Obligation may be
enforced  by  Lessor  separately  without  enforcing  compliance  with any other
Guaranteed  Obligation and without waiving the right to subsequently enforce any
other  Guaranteed  Obligation  hereunder.  Without  notice to  Guarantor  or the
consent of Guarantor,  and without affecting or limiting Guarantor's obligations
hereunder,  Lessor may: (i) grant Lessee  extensions  of time for payment of the
Guaranteed  Obligations  or any part  hereof;  (ii) renew any of the  Guaranteed
Obligations; (iii) grant Lessee extensions of time for performance of agreements
or other  indulgences;  and (iv) with Lessee's written consent,  modify or amend
any obligation, covenant or agreement of Lessee set forth in this Lease.

performance  of any term  hereof  or to  exercise  any  right,  power or  remedy

XXXVI.4  No Merger of Title.  There  shall be no merger of this  Lease or of the
leasehold  estate  created  hereby by  reason of the fact that the same  person,
firm,  corporation  or  other  entity  may  acquire,  own or hold,  directly  or

Property shall expressly assume all obligations of Lessor  hereunder  arising or
accruing from and after the date of such  conveyance  or transfer,  and shall be
reasonably  capable of performing the obligations of Lessor hereunder and Lessor

term or provision of this Lease or any  application  thereof shall be invalid or
unenforceable,  the  remainder of this Lease and any other  application  of such

maximum rate  permitted by  applicable  law, the parties agree that such charges
shall be fixed at the  maximum  permissible  rate.  Neither  this  Lease nor any
provision hereof may be changed,  waived,  discharged or terminated except by an
instrument  in writing and in recordable  form signed by Lessor and Lessee.  All
the terms and  provisions  of this Lease shall be binding  upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective  successors and assigns.  The
headings in this Lease are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit

                                   ASSIGNMENT

         Lessee,  in  consideration  of the sum of  $10.00,  and other  good and
valuable  consideration,   the
<PAGE>

receipt and  sufficiency  of which is hereby  acknowledged,  does hereby  grant,
sell, convey,  assign,  transfer, set over and deliver the Tenant Leases and the
Rents unto this Lessor, to have and to hold the Tenant Leases and the Rents unto
Lessor,  and Lessee does  hereby  bind  itself,  its  successors  and assigns to
warrant  and  defend the title to the  Tenant  Leases and the Rents unto  Lessor
against every person  whomsoever  lawfully  claiming or to claim the name or any
part thereof, by, through or under Lessee but not otherwise.

                                   ARTICLE 3.
                          LIMITED LICENSE, CONTINUATION
                          AND TERMINATION OF ASSIGNMENT

         3.1  Limited  License.  Lessee  shall  have the  right  under a limited
license (the "License")  which may be revoked by Lessor pursuant to the terms of
Section  7.1, to collect  upon,  but not prior to accrual,  all of the Rents and
Lessee  shall  receive  the Rents  and hold the  same,  as well as the right and
license to receive the Rents,  as a trust fund to be applied,  and Lessee hereby
covenants to apply the Rents, to the payment,  satisfaction and discharge of the
Obligations then due, including  specifically,  but without  limitation,  to the
payment of taxes and assessments  upon the Property before payment of penalty or
interest are due thereon,  to the cost of such insurance  then due,  maintenance
and  repairs as may be required by the terms of the  Security  Documents  and in
satisfaction of all  obligations  under the Tenant Leases then due; all prior to
the application by Lessee of the Rents for any other purposes. The License shall
also include the right of Lessee to execute,  deliver,  perform, enforce, alter,
modify,  change or  supplement  the terms of the Tenant Leases and to surrender,
cancel or terminate  such Tenant  Leases  without the prior  written  consent of
Lessor except for any of the Tenant Leases  executed,  modified or  supplemented
after the date hereof whose term (including any possible  extensions on the part
of the applicable Tenant) extends beyond the Term of the Lease.  Thereafter,  so
long as there exists no Event of Default  hereunder or under any of the Security
Documents,  Lessee  may use the Rents in any manner  not  inconsistent  with the
Security Documents.  Upon the sale and conveyance by Lessor or its successors or
assigns of the title to the  Property,  all  right,  title,  interest  and power
granted  under the  License  granted  herein  shall be  automatically  continued
subject to the terms and  conditions of the Lease and any of the other  Security
Documents.

         3.2  Continuation  and  Termination of Assignment.  Upon final payment,
performance  and discharge in full of the  Obligations,  this  Assignment  shall
become and be void and of no force or effect. Written demand by Lessor delivered
to any Tenant for payment of the Rents by reason of the  occurrence of any Event
of  Default  claimed  by  Lessor,  and the  then  existence  thereof,  shall  be
sufficient  evidence of each such Tenant's  obligation and authority to make all
future payments of the Rents to Lessor without the necessity for further consent
by Lessee.

         3.3 Permitted Contests. Lessee, after ten days' prior written notice to
Lessor,  on its own or on Lessor's behalf (or in Lessor's name), but at Lessee's
expense,  may contest, by appropriate legal proceedings  conducted in good faith
and with due  diligence,  the amount,  validity or  application,  in whole or in
part,  of any of the  Obligations  which is required to be paid or discharged by
Lessee pursuant to the terms of Section 3.1 pursuant to the terms and conditions
of Article XI of the Lease;  provided  that  nothing  contained  herein shall be
construed to permit  Lessee to contest the payment of the rent or any other sums
payable by Lessee to Lessor under the Lease.

                                   ARTICLE 4.
                         WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS

         Lessee  hereby  unconditionally  warrants and  represents  to Lessor as
follows:

         4.1 Ownership of Tenant  Leases and the Rents.  Subject to the terms of
the Lease, Lessee has good title to the Tenant Leases not previously transferred
or  assigned  to Lessor  and the Rents and has all

<PAGE>

requisite right,  power and authority to assign such Tenant Leases and the Rents
to Lessor,  and no other person,  firm or  corporation  has any right,  title or
interest therein.

         4.2 No  Default.  Lessee  has duly and  punctually  performed,  all and
singular, the terms,  covenants,  conditions and warranties of the Tenant Leases
on  Lessee's  part to be  kept,  observed  and  performed;  and,  to the best of
Lessee's knowledge, the Tenants thereunder are not in material default of any of
the terms or provisions of the respective Tenant Leases.

         4.3  No   Modification   of  the  Tenant  Leases  or   Anticipation  or
Hypothecation of the Rents.  The Tenant Leases are valid and unmodified,  except
as  indicated  herein,  and  remain in full  force and  effect;  Lessee  has not
previously  sold,  assigned,  transferred,  or pledged the Tenant  Leases or the
Rents,  or any part thereof,  whether now due or hereafter to become due, except
for the sales,  assignments,  transfers,  mortgages and pledges for which Lessee
has heretofore obtained a full release; the Rents now due, or to become due, for
any  periods  subsequent  to the date hereof  have not been  collected  and that
payment thereof has not been anticipated,  waived or released,  discounted,  set
off or  otherwise  discharged  or  compromised;  and Lessee has not received any
funds or deposits  from any Tenant for which credit has not already been made on
account of the accrued Rents.

                                   ARTICLE 5.
                              AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

         Lessee  hereby  unconditionally  covenants  and agrees  with  Lessor as
follows:

         5.1 Performance.  Lessee shall observe, perform and discharge, duly and
punctually, all and singular, the obligations,  terms, covenants, conditions and
warranties  of the Tenant  Leases to be  observed,  performed or  discharged  by
landlord  thereunder;  and Lessee shall  promptly  deliver to Lessor any notices
received with respect to the Tenant  Leases  alleging any failure on the part of
the Lessee to observe, perform and discharge the same.

         5.2  Notification to Tenants.  Upon written  request by Lessor,  Lessee
shall notify and direct,  in writing,  such and every  present or future  Tenant
that any Credit Enhancement delivered to Lessee by such Tenant shall be retained
by Lessee but assigned to Lessor.

         5.3  Enforcement.  Lessee shall enforce or secure in the name of Lessee
the  performance of each and every  obligation,  term,  covenant,  condition and
agreement in the Tenant Leases by any Tenant to be  performed,  and Lessee shall
appear in and defend any action or proceeding arising under, occurring out of or
in any manner  connected  with the Tenant Leases or the  obligations,  duties or
liabilities  of Lessee and any Tenant  thereunder,  and upon  request by Lessor,
Lessee  will do so in the name and on behalf of  Lessor,  but at the  expense of
Lessee,  and  Lessee  shall pay all  costs and  expenses  of  Lessor,  including
reasonable  attorneys'  fees and  disbursements,  in any action or proceeding in
which Lessor may appear.

         5.4 Anticipation or Hypothecation of the Rents. Lessee hereby covenants
and agrees (a) upon and after an Event of Default  hereunder or under any of the
Security  Documents  and  while  the  same  shall  continue,  to give to  Lessor
duplicate  notice  of each  default  by each  Tenant  and  copies of any and all
notices and  communications  received from any Tenant  promptly upon delivery or
receipt  thereof;  (b) to comply  with the terms and  provisions  of each Tenant
Lease; (c) not to assign,  transfer,  pledge, mortgage or otherwise encumber any
Tenant  Lease;  (d) not to  assign,  transfer,  pledge,  mortgage  or  otherwise
encumber any Rents;  (e) not to collect,  accept from any Tenant,  or permit any
Tenant to pay any Rents for more than one month in advance  (whether  in cash or
by evidence of indebtedness);  (f) except in the ordinary course of business and
in accordance  with past  practice and custom,  not to waive,  excuse,  condone,
discount,  set-off,  compromise or in any manner release or discharge any Tenant
of and from any  obligations,  covenants,  conditions  or agreements to be kept,
observed or performed by such Tenant,  under and in accordance with the terms of
the  respective  Tenant  Lease;  and (g) not to enter
<PAGE>

into any Tenant Lease or amend,  modify,  extend or renew any Tenant Lease for a
time  period  extending  beyond the term of the  Lease,  without  prior  written
approval of Lessor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

         5.5 Delivery of the Tenant Leases;  Further Acts and  Assurance.  Until
the Obligations secured hereby have been paid in full, performed and discharged,
Lessee  shall  enter into only  leases of the  Property  in a form  approved  in
writing by Lessor and shall upon the written request of Lessor deliver  executed
copies of all existing and all other and future Tenant Leases when executed upon
all or any part of the  Property  and will  transfer  and assign  such other and
future Tenant Leases upon the same terms and conditions as herein contained, and
Lessee hereby covenants and agrees to make, execute and deliver to Lessor,  upon
demand and at any time or times, any and all assignments and other documents and
instruments  which  Lessor may deem  advisable to carry out the true purpose and
intent of this Assignment.

                                   ARTICLE 6.
                                EVENTS OF DEFAULT

         The term "Event of Default",  as used herein, shall mean the occurrence
or  happening,  at any  time and  from  time to time,  of any one or more of the
following:

         6.1 Performance of Obligations. If Lessee shall fail, refuse or neglect
to perform and discharge fully and timely any of its  obligations  hereunder and
such failure is not cured by Lessee  within a period of 30 days after receipt by
Lessee of written  notice  thereof from Lessor,  unless such failure cannot with
due  diligence be cured  within a period of 30 days,  in which case such failure
shall  not be deemed  to  continue  if  Lessee  proceeds  promptly  and with due
diligence to cure the failure and  diligently  completes the curing  thereof (as
soon as reasonably possible).

         6.2 Security  Documents.  The  occurrence of any Event of Default under
and as defined in the Lease or any other of the Security Documents.

                                   ARTICLE 7.
                                    REMEDIES

         7.1  Remedies.  Upon or any time after the  occurrence,  and during the
continuance  thereof,  of an Event of Default hereunder,  Lessor, at its option,
shall have the complete right, power and authority hereunder, then or thereafter
until the Event of Default is cured,  to exercise  and enforce any or all of the
following rights and remedies set out in this Article 7:

         (a) To terminate the License and then and  thereafter,  without  taking
possession  of the  Property,  to the extent  permitted  by law, in Lessee's own
name, to demand,  collect,  receive, sue for, attach and levy the Rents and give
proper  receipts,  releases and acquittances  therefor,  and after deducting all
necessary  and  proper  costs and  expenses  of  operation  and  collection,  as
determined by Lessor,  including  reasonable  attorneys' fees, and apply the net
proceeds  thereof,  together with any funds of Lessee deposited with Lessor,  in
reduction or repayment  of the  Obligations  in such order of priority as Lessor
may, in its sole discretion, determine in accordance with applicable law;

         (b) To declare the Lease in default and, at its option, exercise all of
the  rights and  remedies  contained  in the Lease or any other of the  Security
Documents;

         (c) Without regard to the adequacy of the security, with or without any
action or proceeding through any person or by any agent, or by the trustee under
any deed of trust included among the Security Documents,  or by a receiver to be
appointed by a court of competent  jurisdiction,  and  irrespective  of Lessee's
possession,  then or thereafter to enter upon,  take  possession  of, manage and
operate the  Property or any part  thereof;  make,  modify,  enforce,  cancel or
accept  surrender  of a Tenant Lease now in effect or 
<PAGE>

hereafter  in effect on the Property or any part  thereof;  remove and evict any
Tenant  (subject  to  the  provisions  of  any  non-disturbance  and  attornment
agreement  entered  into by and  between  Lessor and any  Tenant);  increase  or
decrease  the  Rents  under a Tenant  Lease;  decorate,  clean and  repair,  and
otherwise  do any act or  incur  any  cost or  expense  which  Lessor  may  deem
reasonably  necessary  to protect the status and value of the  Property as fully
and to the same extent as Lessee could do if in possession thereof;  and in such
event,  to apply the Rents so collected to the operation  and  management of the
Property,  but in such  order or  priority  as Lessor  shall  deem  proper,  and
including the payment of reasonable  management,  brokerage and attorneys'  fees
and  disbursements,  and payment of the Obligations and to the establishment and
maintenance, without interest, of a reserve for replacements; and

         (d)      Any other remedy available to Lessor at law or in equity.

         7.2 Exculpation of Lessor. The acceptance by Lessor of this Assignment,
with all of the rights,  powers,  privileges and authority created hereby, shall
not,  prior to entry upon and taking  possession  of the Property by Lessor,  be
deemed or  construed  to  constitute  Lessor a "mortgagee  in  possession",  nor
thereafter  or at any time or in any event  obligate  Lessor to take any  action
hereunder  or to expend any money or incur any  expenses or perform or discharge
any  obligation,  duty or  liability  under a  Tenant  Lease  or to  assume  any
obligation  or  responsibility  for any  security  deposits  or  other  deposits
delivered to Lessee by a Tenant and not assigned  and  delivered to Lessor,  nor
shall  Lessor  be liable in any way for any  injury  or  damage  to  persons  or
property  sustained by any person,  firm or corporation in or about the Property
not attributable to the negligence or fault of Lessor, its agents or affiliates.

         7.3      No Waiver or Election of Remedies.

         (a) Waiver.  Neither the  collection  of the Rents and  application  as
provided for in this Assignment nor the entry upon and taking  possession of the
Property  by Lessor  shall be deemed  to cure or waive any Event of  Default  or
waive,  modify or affect any notice of default  under any  Security  Document or
invalidate any act done pursuant to any such notice.  If Lessor shall thereafter
elect to discontinue  the exercise of any such right or remedy  hereunder,  such
right or remedy may be  reasserted  at any time and from time to time  following
any subsequent Event of Default.

         (b)  Election of  Remedies.  The failure of Lessor to assert any of the
terms,  covenants or conditions of this  Assignment for any period of time or at
any time or times  shall not be  construed  or deemed to be a waiver of any such
right,  and nothing herein  contained nor anything done or omitted to be done by
Lessor pursuant to this Assignment shall be deemed to be an election of remedies
or a waiver by Lessor of any of its rights and remedies under any other Security
Document  or under the law.  The right of the Lessor to collect  and enforce the
payment and performance of the Obligations and to enforce any security  therefor
may be  exercised  by the  Lessor  either  prior  to or  simultaneously  with or
subsequent to any action taken hereunder.
<PAGE>

         7.4 Appointment of Attorney-in-Fact.  Upon and following the occurrence
of an Event of Default remaining uncured, Lessee hereby constitutes and appoints
Lessor the true and lawful attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, of Lessee
and in the name,  place and stead of Lessee to demand,  sue for,  attach,  levy,
recover and receive any premium or penalty payable upon the exercise by a Tenant
under a Tenant Lease of a privilege of cancellation  originally provided in such
Tenant Lease and to give proper  receipts,  releases and  acquittances  therefor
and,  after  deducting  expenses of  collection,  to apply the net proceeds as a
credit upon any portion of the Obligations  selected by Lessor,  notwithstanding
the fact that such portion of the Obligations may not then be due and payable or
that such portion of the Obligations is otherwise adequately secured; and Lessee
does  hereby  authorize  and direct any such Tenant to deliver  such  payment to
Lessor in  accordance  with this  Assignment,  and Lessee  hereby  ratifies  and
confirms  that  Lessor,  as  attorney-in-fact,  shall  do or cause to be done by
virtue of the powers granted hereby. Under the circumstances referred to in this
Section 7.4, the foregoing  appointment is irrevocable and continuing,  and such
rights,  powers and privileges shall be exclusive in Lessor,  its successors and
assigns, so long as any part of the Obligations secured hereby remain unpaid and
undischarged.

                                   ARTICLE 8.
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         8.1 Performance at Lessee's Expense.  The cost and expense o performing
or  complying  with any and all of the  Obligations  shall be  borne  solely  by
Lessee,  and no portion of such cost and expense shall be, in any way and to any
extent credited against any installment on or portion of the Obligations.

         8.2  Survival of  Obligations.  Each and all of the  Obligations  shall
survive  that  execution  and  delivery  of  the  Security   Documents  and  the
consummation of the transaction  called for therein,  and shall continue in full
force and effect  until the  Obligations  shall have been paid and  performed in
full.

         8.3  Further  Assurances.  Lessee,  upon the  request of  Lessor,  will
execute,  acknowledge,  deliver and record and/or file such further  instruments
and do such further acts as may be  necessary,  desirable or proper to carry out
more  effectively  the purpose of the Security  Documents  and to subject to the
liens and security  interests thereof any property intended by the terms thereof

renewals, substitutions, replacements, modifications or amendments to the Tenant
Leases.

all  amendments  and  supplements  thereto  and  substitutions  therefor  to  be

         8.6 Successors and Assigns.  All of the terms of the Security Documents
shall apply to, be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties  hereto,
their  successors,  assigns,  heirs  and  legal  representatives,  and all other
persons claiming by, through or under them.
<PAGE>

         8.7 No Waiver;  Severability.  Any failure by Lessor to insist,  or any
election by Lessor not to insist,  upon strict  performance  by Lessee of any of
the terms,  provisions  or  conditions  of the Security  Documents  shall not be
deemed to be a waiver  of same or any  other  terms,  provisions  or  conditions
thereof,  and  Lessor  shall have the right at any time or times  thereafter  to
insist upon strict  performance by Lessee of any and all such terms,  provisions
and  conditions.  The  Security  Documents  are  intended  to  be  performed  in
accordance  with,  and only to the extent  permitted  by, all  applicable  legal
requirements.  If  any  provision  of  any  of  the  Security  Documents  or the
application  thereof to any person or circumstance  shall, for any reason and to
any extent,  be invalid or  unenforceable,  then  neither the  remainder  of the
instrument  in which such  provision to other persons or  circumstances  nor the
other  instruments  referred to herein  shall be affected  thereby,  but rather,
shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.

         8.8 Entire  Agreement and  Modification.  This Assignment  contains the
entire  agreement  between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and
thereof,  and all prior  agreements  relative  thereto  which are not  contained
herein or therein are terminated.  This Assignment may not be amended,  revised,
waived,  discharged,  released  or  terminated  orally,  but  only by a  written
instrument or instruments executed by the party against which enforcement of the
amendment,  revision, waiver, discharge, release or termination is asserted. Any
alleged amendment,  revision, waiver, discharge, release or termination which is
not so documented shall not be effective as to any party.

         8.9  Counterparts.  This  Assignment  may be  executed in any number of
counterparts,  each of which  shall be an  original,  but all of which  together
shall constitute but one instrument.

         8.10  Applicable  Law. The Security  Documents shall be governed by and
construed  according  to the laws of the State of  Alabama  from time to time in
effect  except to the extent  preempted  by United  States  federal  law.  It is
expressly  stipulated  and  agreed to be the  intent of Lessee and Lessor at all
times to comply with  applicable  law now or  hereafter  governing  any interest
payable under the Lease,  including any notes  evidencing the Obligations or any
part thereof.  If the  applicable  law is ever  revised,  repealed or judicially
interpreted  so as to render  usurious  any  amount  called for under any of the
Security  Documents,  or if Lessor's  exercise of the option to  accelerate  the
maturity of the  Obligations  or if any  prepayment by Lessee  results in Lessee
having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by law, then it is Lessee's
and Lessor's  express  intent that all excess amounts  theretofore  collected by
Lessor be  credited  on the  principal  balance of the  Obligations  (or, if the
Obligations have been paid in full,  refunded to Lessee),  and the provisions of
the Security Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter

<PAGE>

after the  Commencement  Date,  unless sooner  terminated  pursuant to the terms
hereof.

                                   ARTICLE II
                                      RENT
                                      ----

     II.1  Minimum Rent and  Adjustments  to Minimum  Rent.  Lessee shall pay to
Lessor,  without notice, demand, set off (except as set forth in Section 30.2 or
Article XXXII hereof) or counterclaim,  in advance in lawful money of the United
States of America,  at Lessor's  address set forth herein or at such other place
or to such other person,  firms or  corporations as Lessor from time to time may
designate in writing,  Minimum  Rent, as adjusted  annually  pursuant to Section
2.1(b) during the Term, as follows:

         (a) Minimum  Rent.  Lessee will pay to Lessor as rent (as adjusted from
time to time in accordance with Sections 2.1(b) and 2.1(e),  the "Minimum Rent")
for the Leased  Property the annual sum equal to the product of (i) the Purchase
Amount times (ii) the greater of (X) ten percent and (Y) the  Treasury  Yield in
effect  ten  days  prior  to  the   Commencement   Date  with  maturity  periods
substantially  equivalent to the Initial Term plus 3.5%.  The Minimum Rent shall
be,  payable in advance in 12 equal,  consecutive  monthly  installments  on the
first day of each  calendar  month during the Term.  The parties will execute an
acknowledgement of the initial Minimum Rent calculated  pursuant to this Section
2.1(a) as soon as  reasonably  practicable  after  the  Commencement  Date.  The
Minimum  Rent  shall be  prorated  for any  partial  month,  and is  subject  to
adjustment as provided in Sections 2.1(b),  2.1(e) and 9.3(b)(iv) below. As used
herein, the term "Purchase Amount" means the total amount funded or to be funded
for the  acquisition of the Leased  Property by Lessor  pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement,  including  legal  fees and  expenses,  recording  taxes and fees and
expenses  related to or arising out of the title  policy,  structural  and other
inspections, survey, environmental report and appraisal.

         (b) Increases to Minimum Rent. On each  anniversary of the Commencement
Date (each such annual date individually  referred to as the "Adjustment  Date")
throughout the Initial Term and any Extended  Terms,  the  then-current  Minimum
Rent shall be increased  annually  effective as of such  Adjustment  Date by the
increase in the  Consumer  Price Index from the  Commencement  Date to the first
Adjustment Date and,  thereafter,  from one Adjustment Date to the  then-current
Adjustment Date; however,  with the exception of the first year of each Extended
Term,  in no event will the annual  change in the Minimum  Rent be less than two
percent nor more than five percent of the Minimum Rent for the prior year.

         (c) Capital Replacement Account.  Lessee will pay to Lessor for deposit
in a money market  account in a federally  insured bank in  Birmingham,  Alabama
acceptable to Lessor and Lessee the sums set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto,
which funds (the  "Capital  Replacement  Account")  shall be made  available  to
Lessee to make repairs and  replacements  for the Leased Property as approved by
Lessor  (which  approval  shall not be  unreasonably  withheld,  conditioned  or
delayed),  the  costs  of  which  according  to  generally  accepted  accounting
principles  must be depreciated  over periods greater than one year. The Capital
Replacement  Account shall be in the name of Lessor, and interest earned on such
account shall be retained in the Capital Replacement Account.  Lessee shall make
detailed  requests  for such  funds in  writing  to Lessor in the same form as a
Request  pursuant  Section 9.3 hereof.  Within 30 days of such  Request,  Lessor
shall  reasonably  approve  the  amount of  requested  funds  and make  mutually
agreeable arrangements for the disbursement of the funds, or provide Lessee with
written  notice in  reasonable  detail  specifying  Lessor's  objections to such
Request.

         (d) Payment of Minimum Rent. All payments of Minimum Rent shall be made
in  lawful  money of the  United  States by wire  transfer  of same day funds to
Lessor's account #0000040999 at First Commercial Bank, Birmingham,  Alabama, ABA
Routing  #062003605,  Attention:  Todd Beard, with advice to Daryl D. McCombs at
(205) 967-2092 (or such other account or location  specified by Lessor from time
to time in writing) on or before 2:00 p.m.,  Birmingham  time,  on any  Business
Day.

                                       2
<PAGE>
         (e)  Recalculation of Minimum Rent. The parties agree that the Purchase
Amount may be  estimated  as of the  Commencement  Date.  As soon as  reasonably
practicable  after the  determination of the final Purchase Amount,  Lessor will
recalculate  the Minimum Rent pursuant to Section  2.1(a)  whereupon the parties
will execute an acknowledgement of the recalculated Minimum Rent.

     II.2  Calculation of Increases to Minimum Rent. On or about each Adjustment
Date,  Lessor will  calculate  the increase in the Minimum Rent  pursuant to the
provisions  of Section  2.1(b) and will provide  Lessee with  written  notice of
same.

     II.3 Additional Charges. Lessee will also pay and discharge as and when due
(a) all other amounts,  liabilities,  obligations and Impositions,  which Lessee
assumes or agrees to pay under this Lease including,  to the extent  applicable,
any condominium  association dues,  assessments or other charges, and (b) in the
event of any failure on the part of Lessee to pay any of those items referred to
in clause (a) above,  Lessee will also  promptly pay and  discharge  every fine,
penalty, interest and cost which may be added for non-payment or late payment of
such items (the items referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above being referred to
herein  collectively  as the  "Additional  Charges"),  and Lessor shall have all
legal,  equitable and contractual  rights,  powers and remedies provided in this
Lease,  by statute or otherwise,  in the case of  non-payment  of the Additional
Charges,  as well as the Minimum  Rent.  If any  installment  of Minimum Rent or
Additional  Charges (but only as to those  Additional  Charges which are payable
directly  to Lessor)  shall not be paid within ten days after the date when due,
Lessee will pay Lessor on demand, as Additional Charges, interest (to the extent
permitted  by  law)  computed  at  the  Overdue  Rate  on  the  amount  of  such
installment,  from the date when due to the date of payment in full thereof.  In
the event Lessor  provides  Lessee with written  notice of failure to timely pay
any  installment of Minimum Rent or any Additional  Charges  pursuant to Section
15.1(b) more than three times within any twelve-month  period,  Lessee shall pay
an  administrative  fee to Lessor in the amount of $500.00  for each  additional
written notice Lessor gives  pursuant to Section  15.1(b) during the next twelve
months.  To the extent that Lessee pays any Additional  Charges to Lessor or the
Facility  Mortgagee  pursuant to any requirement of this Lease,  Lessee shall be
relieved of its obligation to pay such Additional Charges to the entity to which
such  Additional  Charges would  otherwise be due.  Additional  Charges shall be
deemed Rent hereunder.

     II.4 Net Lease.  The Rent shall be paid  absolutely net to Lessor,  so that
this Lease shall yield to Lessor the full amount of the  installments of Minimum
Rent and the payments of Additional  Charges  throughout the Term but subject to
any provisions of this Lease which  expressly  provide for payments by Lessor or
the adjustment of the Rent or other charges.

                                   ARTICLE III
                                   IMPOSITIONS
                                   -----------

     III.1 Payment of  Impositions.  Subject to Article XI relating to permitted
contests, Lessee will pay, or cause to be paid, all Impositions before any fine,
penalty, interest or cost may be added for non-payment, such payments to be made
directly to the taxing  authorities  where  feasible,  and Lessee will promptly,
upon  request,   furnish  to  Lessor  copies  of  official   receipts  or  other
satisfactory proof evidencing such payments. If any such Imposition may lawfully
be paid in  installments  (whether or not  interest  shall  accrue on the unpaid
balance of such Imposition), Lessee may exercise the option to pay the same (and
any accrued  interest on the unpaid balance of such  Imposition) in installments
and, in such event,  shall pay such  installments  during the Term hereof as the
same become due and before any fine, penalty,  premium, further interest or cost
may be added thereto.  Lessor, at its expense, shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable law,  prepare and file all tax returns and reports as may be required
by governmental  authorities in respect of Lessor's net income,  gross receipts,
franchise taxes and taxes on its capital stock.  Lessee, at its expense,  shall,
to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, prepare and file all
other tax returns and reports in respect of any Imposition as may be required by
governmental  authorities.  If any refund shall be due from any taxing authority
in respect of any

                                       3
<PAGE>
Imposition paid by Lessee,  the same shall be paid over to or retained by Lessee
if no Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder and be continuing. Any such
funds retained by Lessor due to an Event of Default shall be applied as provided
in Article XV. Lessor and Lessee shall, upon request of the other,  provide such
data as is  maintained  by the party to whom the request is made with respect to
the Leased  Property as may be  necessary  to prepare any  required  returns and
reports. In the event governmental  authorities classify any property covered by
this Lease as personal  property,  Lessee shall file all  personal  property tax
returns in such jurisdictions  where filing is required.  Lessor and Lessee will
provide  the other  party,  upon  request,  with cost and  depreciation  records
necessary  for  filing  returns  for any  property  so  classified  as  personal
property.  Where  Lessor is  legally  required  to file  personal  property  tax
returns, and Lessee is obligated for the same hereunder, Lessee will be provided
with  copies of  assessment  notices  in  sufficient  time for  Lessee to file a
protest.  Lessee may,  upon giving 30 days' prior written  notice to Lessor,  at
Lessee's  option and at Lessee's  sole cost and  expense,  protest,  appeal,  or
institute  such other  proceedings  as Lessee may deem  appropriate  to effect a
reduction  of real  estate or  personal  property  assessments  and  Lessor,  if
requested by Lessee and at Lessee's expense as aforesaid,  shall fully cooperate
with Lessee in such protest, appeal, or other action. Billings for reimbursement
by Lessee to Lessor of personal property taxes shall be accompanied by copies of
an invoice  therefor and payments  thereof which identify the personal  property
with respect to which such payments are made.  Lessor will cooperate with Lessee
in order that  Lessee may  fulfill  its  obligations  hereunder,  including  the
execution of any instruments or documents reasonably requested by Lessee.

     III.2  Proration  of  Impositions.  Impositions  imposed  in respect of the
tax-fiscal  period during which the Term  terminates  shall be prorated  between
Lessor and Lessee,  whether or not such  Imposition  is imposed  before or after
such termination,  and Lessee's and Lessor's  obligation to pay their respective
prorated shares thereof shall survive such termination.

     III.3 Utility Charges. Lessee will, or will cause Tenants to, contract for,
in its own name, and will pay or cause to be paid all charges for,  electricity,
power,  gas, oil, water and other  utilities used in the Leased  Property during
the Term.

     III.4  Insurance  Premiums.  Lessee will contract for, in its own name, and
will pay or cause to be paid all premiums for, the insurance  coverage  required
to be maintained by Lessee pursuant to Article XII during the Term.

                                   ARTICLE IV
                                 NO TERMINATION
                                 --------------

         Except as provided in this Lease,  Lessee  shall  remain  bound by this
Lease in accordance with its terms and shall neither take any action without the
consent of Lessor to modify,  surrender or terminate  the same,  nor seek nor be
entitled to any abatement, deduction, deferment or reduction of Rent, or set-off
against the Rent, nor shall the  respective  obligations of Lessor and Lessee be
otherwise affected by reason of (a) any damage to, or destruction of, the Leased
Property or any portion  thereof from whatever cause or any Taking of the Leased
Property or any portion thereof,  except as otherwise  provided in Articles XIII
or XIV, (b) the lawful or unlawful prohibition of, or restriction upon, Lessee's
use of the Leased  Property,  or any portion thereof,  or the interference  with
such use by any person,  corporation,  partnership or other entity, or by reason
of eviction by  paramount  title,  (c) any claim which  Lessee has or might have
against  Lessor or by reason of any default or breach of any  warranty by Lessor
under this Lease or any other  agreement  between  Lessor and Lessee or to which
Lessor and Lessee are parties, (d) any bankruptcy,  insolvency,  reorganization,
composition,  readjustment,   liquidation,  dissolution,  winding  up  or  other
proceedings affecting Lessor or any assignee or transferee of Lessor, or (e) for
any  other  cause  whatsoever  whether  similar  or  dissimilar  to  any  of the
foregoing.  Lessee  hereby  specifically  waives  all  rights  arising  from any
occurrence  whatsoever which may now or hereafter be conferred upon it by law to
(i) modify,  surrender or terminate  this Lease or quit or surrender  the Leased
Property  or any  portion  thereof,  or (ii)  entitle  Lessee to any  abatement,
reduction,  suspension  or deferment of the Rent or other sums payable by Lessee
hereunder,  except  as  otherwise  specifically  provided  in  this  Lease.  The
obligations  of Lessor and Lessee  hereunder  shall be separate and  independent
covenants  and  agreements  and the Rent and all other  sums  payable  by Lessee
hereunder  shall continue to be payable in all events unless the  obligations to
pay the same shall be  terminated  pursuant  to the express  provisions  of this
Lease.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  Lessee shall have the right by separate
and  independent  action to pursue  any  claim or seek any  damages  it may have
against  Lessor as a result of a breach by Lessor of the terms of this  Lease or
Lessor's willful misconduct.

                                    ARTICLE V
                          OWNERSHIP OF LEASED PROPERTY
                          ----------------------------

     V.1 Ownership of the Property. Lessee acknowledges that the Leased Property
is the  property of Lessor and that Lessee has only the right to the  possession
and use of the Leased Property upon the terms and conditions of this Lease.

     V.2 Personal Property.  Lessee may (and shall as provided hereinbelow),  at
its expense,  install,  affix or assemble or place on any parcels of the Land or
in any of the Leased  Improvements any items of the Personal  Property,  and may
remove,  replace or  substitute  for the same from time to time in the  Ordinary
Course of Business  with like property of equal or greater  value.  Lessee shall
provide and maintain during the entire Term all such Personal  Property as shall
be necessary in order to operate the Facility in  compliance  with all licensure
and  certification  requirements,   in  compliance  with  all  applicable  Legal
Requirements  and  Insurance  Requirements  and  otherwise  in  accordance  with
customary  practice in the  industry  for the Primary  Intended Use in the state
where the Land is located.

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

     VI.1  Condition of the Leased  Property.  Lessee  acknowledges  receipt and
delivery of possession  of the Leased  Property and that Lessee has examined and
otherwise  acquired  knowledge of the condition of the Leased  Property prior to

<PAGE>
Lessor in  respect of the  condition  of the Leased  Property.  LESSOR  MAKES NO
WARRANTY  OR  REPRESENTATION,  EXPRESS  OR  IMPLIED,  IN  RESPECT  OF THE LEASED
PROPERTY OR ANY PART  THEREOF,  EITHER AS TO ITS  FITNESS FOR USE,  SUITABILITY,
DESIGN OR CONDITION FOR ANY  PARTICULAR  USE OR PURPOSE OR  OTHERWISE,  OR AS TO
QUALITY OF THE  MATERIAL  OR  WORKMANSHIP  THEREIN,  LATENT OR PATENT,  IT BEING
AGREED THAT ALL SUCH RISKS ARE TO BE BORNE BY LESSEE.  LESSEE  ACKNOWLEDGES THAT
THE LEASED  PROPERTY HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY LESSEE AND IS  SATISFACTORY  TO IT IN
ALL RESPECTS.

     VI.2 Use of the Leased Property.

         (a) After the  Commencement  Date and during the  entire  Term,  Lessee
shall use or cause to be used the Leased Property and the  improvements  thereon
as a senior  residential  facility which may include  congregate  care services,
assisted living services, Alzheimer's care services or skilled nursing services,
or some  combination  of the foregoing  services (at any time, the actual use or
combination of uses specified  herein that is or are then being conducted at the
Leased Property,  are referred to as the "Primary  Intended Use").  Lessee shall
not use the Leased Property or any portion thereof for any other use without the
prior  written  consent  of  Lessor,  which  consent  shall not be  unreasonably
withheld or delayed.

         (b) Lessee  covenants  that it will obtain and maintain,  with Lessor's
cooperation but at Lessee's sole cost and expense, all material approvals needed
to use and operate the Leased Property and the Facility for the Primary Intended
Use in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements.

         (c) Lessee  covenants  and agrees  that during the Term it will use its
reasonable  best  efforts  to  operate   continuously  the  Leased  Property  in
accordance with its Primary Intended Use and to maintain its  certifications for
reimbursement,  if any,  and  licensure  and its  accreditation,  with  Lessor's
cooperation  but  at  Lessee's  sole  cost  and  expense,   if  compliance  with
accreditation  standards is required to maintain the  operations of the Facility
and if a failure to comply would adversely affect operations of the Facility.

         (d) Lessee shall not commit or suffer to be committed  any waste on the
Leased Property, or in the Facility or cause or permit any nuisance thereon.

         (e) Lessee shall neither  suffer nor permit the Leased  Property or any
portion  thereof,  including  any Capital  Addition  whether or not  financed by
Lessor,  to be used in such a manner as (i) reasonably likely to impair Lessor's
estate therein or in any portion thereof, or (ii) is reasonably likely to result

Property except in accordance with applicable  Legal  Requirements  and will not
permit any  contamination  which may require  remediation  under any  applicable

have been  approved in writing by Lessor,  (iii) all such  management or leasing
agreements  must be in writing,  and (iv) all  management or leasing  agreements
with an Affiliate of Lessee must contain  provisions  to the effect that (A) the

pay the  Rent,  and (B) the  manager  shall not have the  right to  collect  any
management fees during the continuance of an

Certificate stating (and such other information as Lessor may reasonably require
confirming)  that  such  grant,  release,  dedication,   transfer,  petition  or
amendment  is  required  or  beneficial  for and not  detrimental  to the proper
conduct of the business of Lessee on the Leased Property and does not reduce the
value thereof.

operations  before  provision  of  income  taxes  for such  period  and  without
deduction for actual  management  fees paid or incurred,  plus (ii) the interest
charges paid or accrued during such period (including  imputed interest on lease
(capital  or  operating)  obligations  (including  this  Lease),  but  excluding
amortization of debt discount and expense), plus (iii) all amounts in respect of
depreciation and amortization for such period,  plus (iv) the rent due under all

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

     VIII.1 Maintenance and Repair.d Repair

         (a)  Lessee,  at its  expense,  will keep the Leased  Property  and all
private  roadways,  sidewalks and curbs  appurtenant  thereto in reasonably good
order and repair (whether or not the need for such repairs occurs as a result of
Lessee's use, any prior use, the elements, the age of the Leased Property or


                                       8
<PAGE>
any portion thereof), and except as otherwise provided in Articles XIII and XIV,
with  reasonable  promptness  will make all  necessary and  appropriate  repairs
thereto of every kind and nature  (including  remodeling to the extent necessary
to maintain the Leased Property in a condition  substantially the same as exists
on the date hereof), whether interior or exterior, structural or non-structural,
ordinary  or  extraordinary,  foreseen or  unforeseen  or arising by reason of a
condition  existing prior to or after the commencement of the Term of this Lease
(concealed  or  otherwise).  All repairs  and  remodeling  shall,  to the extent
reasonably  achievable,  be at least  equivalent in quality to the original work
and shall be accomplished  by Lessee or a party selected by Lessee.  Lessee will
not take or omit to take any  action  the  taking  or  omission  of which  might
materially  impair the value or  usefulness  of the Leased  Property or any part
thereof for the  Primary  Intended  Use.  If Lessee  fails to perform any of its
obligations  hereunder,  or if  Lessor  reasonably  determines  that  action  is
necessary and is not being taken,  Lessor may, on giving 30 days' written notice
to Lessee (other than in a case reasonably  deemed by Lessor to be an emergency,
in which  case no such  notice  shall be  required),  without  demand on Lessee,
perform  any such  obligations  in such  manner and to such extent and take such
other  action  as  Lessor  may deem  appropriate  in the  event  Lessee  has not
commenced  to perform  such  obligation  or take such action  during such 30-day
period,  and all costs,  expenses  and  charges of Lessor  relating  to any such
action  shall  constitute  Additional  Charges and shall be payable by Lessee to
Lessor in accordance with Section 2.3.

         (b)  Except  for  the use of any  insurance  proceeds  (to  the  extent
required  by  Sections  13.1 and 13.2) and any Award (to the extent  required by
Section 14.3) Lessor shall not under any  circumstances  be required to build or
rebuild  any  improvements  on the  Leased  Property,  or to make  any  repairs,
replacements,   alterations,   restorations,   or  renewals  of  any  nature  or
description  to  the  Leased  Property,   whether  ordinary  or   extraordinary,
structural or nonstructural,  foreseen or unforeseen, or to make any expenditure
whatsoever  with respect  thereto in connection  with this Lease, or to maintain
the Leased Property in any way.

         (c) Nothing contained in this Lease and no action or inaction by Lessor
shall be construed as constituting  the consent or request of Lessor,  expressed
or implied, to any contractor,  subcontractor, laborer, materialman or vendor to
or for the performance of any particular  labor or services or the furnishing of
any  particular  materials or other property for the  construction,  alteration,
addition, repair or demolition of or to the Leased Property or any part thereof.

         (d) Unless  Lessor  shall  convey any of the Leased  Property to Lessee
pursuant to the  provisions of this Lease,  Lessee will,  upon the expiration or
prior  termination  of this Lease,  vacate and surrender the Leased  Property to
Lessor in the  condition in which the Leased  Property was  originally  received
from Lessor,  except for ordinary  wear and tear  (subject to the  obligation of
Lessee to  maintain  the  Property  in good order and  repair  during the entire
Term),  damage  caused by the gross  negligence  or willful acts of Lessor,  and
damage or  destruction  described  in Article  XIII or  resulting  from a Taking
described in Article XIV which Lessee is not required by the terms of this Lease
to repair or restore,  and except as  repaired,  rebuilt,  restored,  altered or
added to as permitted or required by the provisions of this Lease.

     VIII.2  Encroachments;  Restrictions.  If any of the Improvements shall, at
any time,  encroach upon any property,  street or  right-of-way  adjacent to the
Leased Property,  or shall violate the agreements or conditions contained in any
applicable Legal  Requirement,  lawful  restrictive  covenant or other agreement
affecting the Leased Property,  or any part thereof,  or shall impair the rights
of others under any  easement or  right-of-way  to which the Leased  Property is
subject,  then promptly upon the request of Lessor, Lessee shall at its expense,
subject  to its  right  to  contest  the  existence  of any  such  encroachment,
violation or impairment,  (a) obtain valid and effective  waivers or settlements
of all claims,  liabilities and damages  resulting from each such  encroachment,
violation or impairment,  whether the same shall affect Lessor or Lessee, or (b)
make such changes in the Improvements, and take such other actions, as Lessor in
the good faith exercise of its judgment deems reasonably practicable,  to remove
such  encroachment,  or to end  such  violation  or  impairment,  including,  if
necessary, the alteration of any of the Leased


                                       9

<PAGE>
Improvements,  and in any event  take all such  actions as may be  necessary  in
order to be able to  continue  the  operation  of the  Facility  for the Primary
Intended  Use  substantially  in the manner and to the extent the  Facility  was
operated  prior to the  assertion of such  violation or  encroachment.  Any such
alteration  shall be made in  conformity  with the  applicable  requirements  of
Article IX. Lessee's  obligations under this Section 8.2 shall be in addition to
and shall in no way  discharge or diminish any  obligation  of any insurer under
any policy of title or other  insurance and Lessee shall be entitled to a credit
for any  sums  recovered  by  Lessor  under  any such  policy  of title or other
insurance.

     VIII.3  Inspections.  From time to time  during  the Term,  Lessor  and its
agents  shall  have the  right,  subject  to any  rights of  confidentiality  of
Tenants, to inspect the Leased Property and all systems contained therein at any
reasonable time and upon two days advance notice to Lessee to determine Lessee's
compliance with its obligations  under this Lease,  including those  obligations
set forth in Article VII and this Article VIII.  Lessee shall be responsible for
the costs of such inspections, which costs shall not exceed the sum of $2,000.00
per year for each year of the Term for an independent, third party inspection of
the Facility.

                                   ARTICLE IX
                                CAPITAL ADDITIONS
                                -----------------

     IX.1 Construction of Capital Additions to the Leased Property.

         (a) If no Event of  Default  shall  have  occurred  and be  continuing,
Lessee shall have the right,  upon and subject to the terms and  conditions  set
forth below,  to construct or install  Capital  Additions on the Leased Property
with the prior written consent of Lessor which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld;  provided that Lessee shall not be permitted to create any Encumbrance
on the Leased  Property in connection with such Capital  Addition  without first
complying with Section 9.1(b) hereof.  Prior to commencing  construction  of any
Capital  Addition,  Lessee shall submit to Lessor in writing a proposal  setting
forth in reasonable  detail any proposed  Capital  Addition and shall provide to
Lessor such plans and  specifications,  permits,  licenses,  contracts and other
information  concerning the proposed  Capital  Addition as Lessor may reasonably
request.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,  such proposal shall
indicate the approximate  projected cost of constructing  such Capital  Addition
and the use or uses to which it will be put.

         (b) Prior to commencing  construction of any Capital  Addition,  Lessee
shall first request Lessor to provide funds to pay for such Capital  Addition in
accordance  with the provisions of Section 9.3. If Lessor  declines or is unable
to provide  such  financing  on terms  acceptable  to Lessee and Lessee  rejects
Lessor's  offer of  financing,  Lessee may arrange or provide  other  financing,
subject to the provisions of Section 9.2. Lessor will reasonably  cooperate with
Lessee regarding the grant of any consents or easements or the like necessary or
appropriate in connection  with any Capital  Addition;  provided that no Capital
Addition shall be made which would tie in or connect any Leased  Improvements on
the Leased  Property  with any other  improvements  on property  adjacent to the
Leased  Property  (and not part of the Land  covered  by this  Lease)  including
tie-ins of buildings or other structures or utilities,  unless Lessee shall have
obtained  the prior  written  approval of Lessor,  which  approval  shall not be
unreasonably  withheld.  All proposed Capital Additions shall be architecturally
integrated into and consistent with the Leased Property.

     IX.2 Capital  Additions  Financed by Lessee. If Lessee finances or arranges
to finance any Capital Addition with a party other than Lessor or if Lessee pays
cash for any  Capital  Addition,  this  Lease  shall be and hereby is amended to
provide as follows:

         (a) There shall be no  adjustment  in the Minimum Rent by reason of any
such Capital Addition.


                                       10
<PAGE>
         (b) Upon the expiration or earlier  termination  of this Lease,  Lessor
shall compensate Lessee for all Capital Additions paid for or financed by Lessee
in any of the following ways:

                  (i) By  purchasing  all Capital  Additions  paid for by Lessee
         from  Lessee for cash in the amount of the Fair  Market  Added Value at
         the time of purchase by Lessor of all such Capital  Additions  paid for
         or financed by Lessee; or

                  (ii) Such other  arrangement  regarding such  compensation  as
         shall be mutually acceptable to Lessor and Lessee.

Any amount  owed by Lessee to Lessor  under this  Lease at such  termination  or
expiration may be deducted from any compensation for Capital  Additions  payable
by Lessor to Lessee under this Section 9.2.

     IX.3 Capital Additions Financed by Lessor.

         (a) Lessee shall request that Lessor provide or arrange financing for a
Capital  Addition  by  providing  to Lessor such  information  about the Capital
Addition  as  Lessor  may  reasonably  request  (a  "Request"),   including  all
information  referred to in Section 9.1 above. Lessor may, but shall be under no
obligation to provide or obtain the funds necessary to meet the Request.  Within
30 days of receipt of a Request,  Lessor  shall  notify  Lessee as to whether it
will finance the proposed  Capital Addition and, if so, the terms and conditions
upon which it would do so,  including  the terms of any amendment to this Lease.
In no event  (i)  shall the  portion  of the  projected  Capital  Addition  Cost
comprised of land (if any),  materials,  labor charges and fixtures be less than
100% of the  total  amount  of such  cost,  or (ii)  shall  Lessee or any of its
Affiliates  be  entitled  to any  commission  or  development  fee,  directly or
indirectly,  as a portion of the Capital Addition Cost. Any Capital Addition not
financed by Lessor  must still be approved in writing by Lessor  pursuant to the
terms of Section 9.1 hereof,  which consent will not be  unreasonably  withheld.
Lessee may  withdraw its Request by notice to Lessor at any time before or after
receipt of Lessor's terms and conditions.

         (b) If Lessor agrees to finance the proposed Capital Addition, Lessor's
obligation  to  advance  any funds  shall be  subject  to  receipt of all of the
following, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor:

                  (i)   such loan documentation as may be required by Lessor;

                  (ii)  any  information,  certificates,  licenses,  permits  or
         documents  requested  by Lessor,  or by any lender with whom Lessor has
         agreed or may  agree to  provide  financing,  which  are  necessary  or
         appropriate  to confirm  that  Lessee  will be able to use the  Capital
         Addition  upon  completion  thereof  in  accordance  with  the  Primary
         Intended Use, including all required federal, state or local government
         licenses and approvals;

                  (iii)  an  Officer's   Certificate   and,  if   requested,   a
         certificate from Lessee's architect, setting forth in detail reasonably
         satisfactory to Lessor the projected (or actual,  if available) cost of
         the proposed Capital Addition;

                  (iv)  an   amendment   to  this  Lease,   duly   executed  and
         acknowledged,  in form and substance  satisfactory to Lessor and Lessee
         (the "Lease Amendment"), containing such provisions as may be necessary
         or appropriate due to the Capital  Addition,  including any appropriate
         changes  in the legal  description  of the Land and the Rent,  all such
         changes to be mutually agreed upon by Lessor and Lessee;

                  (v)    if appropriate, a deed conveying title to Lessor to any
         land and

         the  Capital  Addition,  free and  clear of any  liens or  encumbrances
         except  those  approved  in  writing by Lessor  and,  both prior to and
         following  completion  of the  Capital  Addition,  an  as-built  survey
         thereof reasonably satisfactory to Lessor;

                  (vi) if appropriate, endorsements to any outstanding policy of
         title insurance  covering the Leased Property or a supplemental  policy
         of title insurance covering the Leased Property reasonably satisfactory
         in form and  substance  to Lessor (A)  updating  the same  without  any
         additional  exceptions,  except as may be permitted by Lessor;  and (B)
         increasing  the coverage  thereof by an amount equal to the Fair Market
         Value of the  Capital  Addition  (except to the  extent  covered by the
         owner's policy of title  insurance  referred to in  subparagraph  (vii)
         below);

                  (vii) if  required by Lessor,  (A) an owner's  policy of title
         insurance  insuring  fee simple  title to any land  conveyed  to Lessor
         pursuant  to  subparagraph  (v),  free  and  clear  of  all  liens  and
         encumbrances  except those approved by Lessor and (B) a lender's policy
         of title insurance satisfactory in form and substance to Lessor and the
         Lending Institution advancing any portion of the Capital Addition Cost;

                  (viii)   if required by Lessor upon completion of the  Capital
         Addition,  an M.A.I appraisal of the Leased Property; and

                  (ix)   such   other   certificates   (including   endorsements
         increasing  the  insurance  coverage,  if any, at the time  required by
         Section  12.1),  documents,  customary  opinions of  Lessee's  counsel,
         appraisals,  surveys,  certified copies of duly adopted  resolutions of
         the Board of Directors of Lessee authorizing the execution and delivery
         of the Lease Amendment and any other instruments or documents as may be
         reasonably required by Lessor.

         (c) Upon making a Request to finance a Capital Addition, whether or not
such financing is actually  consummated,  Lessee shall pay the reasonable  costs
and  expenses  of Lessor and any  Lending  Institution  which has  committed  to
finance such Capital  Addition paid or incurred in connection with the financing
of the Capital Addition, including (i) the fees and expenses of their respective
counsel,  (ii) the amount of any  recording  or transfer  taxes and fees,  (iii)
documentary  stamp taxes,  if any, (iv) title insurance  charges,  (v) appraisal
fees, if any, and (vi) commitment fees, if any.

     IX.4 Remodeling and Non-Capital Additions.  Lessee shall have the right and
the obligation to make  additions,  modifications  or improvements to the Leased
Property which are not Capital Additions,  including tenant improvements made in
connection  with the  Tenant  Leases,  from  time to time as may  reasonably  be
necessary  for its uses and purposes  and to permit  Lessee to comply fully with
its  obligations  set forth in this  Lease;  provided  that such  action will be
undertaken  expeditiously,  in a workmanlike  manner and will not  significantly
alter the character or purpose or detract from the value or operating efficiency
of the Leased Property and will not  significantly  impair the revenue producing
capability of the Leased  Property or adversely  affect the ability of Lessee to
comply with the provisions of this Lease.  Title to all  non-Capital  Additions,
modifications and improvements shall,  without payment by Lessor at any time, be
included  under  the  terms  of this  Lease  and,  upon  expiration  or  earlier
termination of this Lease, shall pass to and become the property of Lessor.

     IX.5  Salvage.  All  materials  which are scrapped or removed in connection
with the making of either Capital Additions  permitted by Section 9.1 or repairs
required by Article  VIII shall be or become the  property  of Lessor;  provided
that Lessor may require  Lessee to dispose of such  materials  and remit the net
proceeds thereof to Lessor within 15 days of such disposal.

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

         Lessee,  after ten days' prior written notice to Lessor,  on its own or
on Lessor's behalf (or in Lessor's name), but at Lessee's expense,  may contest,
by appropriate legal proceedings conducted in good faith and with due diligence,
the amount,  validity or  application,  in whole or in part, of any  Imposition,
Legal Requirement,  Insurance Requirement,  lien, attachment, levy, encumbrance,
charge or claim  (collectively  "Charge") not otherwise  permitted by Article X,
which is required  to be paid or  discharged  by Lessee or any Tenant;  provided
that (a) in the case of an unpaid Charge,  the  commencement and continuation of
such  proceedings,  or the posting of a bond or certificate of deposit as may be
permitted by applicable  law, shall suspend the  collection  thereof from Lessor
and from the Leased  Property;  (b)  neither  the Leased  Property  nor any Rent
therefrom  nor any part thereof or interest  therein  would be in any  immediate
danger of being sold,  forfeited,  attached or lost;  (c) Lessor would not be in

therewith  pending  the outcome of such  proceedings;  (d) in the event that any
such  contest  shall  involve  a sum of money or  potential  loss in  excess  of
$50,000.00,  then Lessee  shall  deliver to Lessor and its counsel an  Officer's
Certificate  as to the  matters set forth in clauses  (a),  (b) and (c) and such
opinions of legal counsel as Lessor may reasonably  request;  (e) in the case of
an  Insurance  Requirement,  the  coverage  required  by  Article  XII  shall be

Lessee,  Lessee shall,  as Additional  Charges due  hereunder,  promptly pay the
amount  required to be paid,  together with all interest and  penalties  accrued
thereon,  or otherwise comply with the applicable Charge;  provided further that
nothing  contained  herein shall be  construed  to permit  Lessee to contest the
payment of the Rent,  or any other sums  payable by Lessee to Lessor  hereunder.
Lessor,  at  Lessee's  expense,   shall  execute  and  deliver  to  Lessee  such
authorizations  and other  documents as may  reasonably  be required in any such
contest and, if reasonably  requested by Lessee or if Lessor so desires and then
at its own expense,  Lessor shall join as a party  therein.  Lessor shall do all
things  reasonably  requested by Lessee in connection  with such action.  Lessee
shall indemnify and save Lessor harmless against any liability,  cost or expense
of any kind that may be imposed upon Lessor in connection  with any such contest
and any loss resulting therefrom.

                                    INSURANCE
                                    ---------

     XII.1 General Insurance Requirements. During the Term of this Lease, Lessee
shall at all times keep the Leased  Property,  and all property located in or on
the Leased  Property  insured with the kinds and amounts of insurance  described
below and written by companies reasonably  acceptable to Lessor authorized to do
insurance  business in the state in which the Leased  Property  is located.  The
policies must name Lessor as an  additional  insured and losses shall be payable
to Lessor and/or  Lessee as provided in Article XIII. In addition,  the policies
shall name as an additional  insured the holder  ("Facility  Mortgagee")  of any
mortgage,  deed of trust or other security  agreement  securing any  Encumbrance
placed  on the  Leased  Property  or any part  thereof  in  accordance  with the
provisions of Article XXXII ("Facility Mortgage"),  if any, by way of a standard
form of mortgagee's loss payable  endorsement.  Any loss adjustment in excess of
$100,000.00  shall  require  the  written  consent of Lessor  and each  affected
Facility Mortgagee. Evidence of insurance shall be deposited with Lessor and, if
requested,  with any  Facility  Mortgagee(s).  If any  provision of any Facility
Mortgage which constitutes a first lien on the Leased Property requires deposits
of insurance to be made with such Facility Mortgagee, Lessee shall pay to Lessor
monthly the amounts  required  and Lessor  shall  transfer  such amounts to such
Facility  Mortgagee.  The policies on the Leased Property,  including the Leased
Improvements,  the Fixtures and the Personal Property,  shall insure against the
following risks:

         (a) Loss or damage by fire, vandalism and malicious mischief,  extended
coverage  perils  commonly  known as "All Risk" and all  physical  loss  perils,
including  sprinkler  leakage and business  interruption,  in an amount not less
than the then Full  Replacement  Cost thereof (as defined below in Section 12.2)
after  deductible  with a  replacement  cost  endorsement  sufficient to prevent
Lessee from becoming a co-insurer together with an agreed value endorsement;

         (b) Loss or damage by explosion of steam boilers,  pressure  vessels or
similar  apparatus now or hereafter  installed in the  Facility,  in such limits
with respect to any one accident as may be  reasonably  requested by Lessor from
time to time;

         (c) Loss  or  damage  by  hurricane and earthquake in the amount of the
Full  Replacement  Cost,  after deductible;

         (d) Loss of  rental  under a  business  interruption  insurance  policy
covering risk of loss during the first 12 months of reconstruction  necessitated
by the occurrence of any of the hazards described in Sections  12.1(a),  12.1(b)
or 12.1  (c),  in an  amount  sufficient  to  prevent  Lessee  from  becoming  a
co-insurer;  provided  that in the event  that  Lessee  shall not be in  default
hereunder  and Lessor  shall  receive any  proceeds  from such rental  insurance
which, when added to rental amounts received with respect to the applicable time
period,  exceed  the amount of rental  owed by Lessee  hereunder,  Lessor  shall
immediately pay such excess to Lessee;

         (e) Claims for  personal  injury or property  damage  under a policy of
comprehensive  general public liability  insurance  including  insurance against
assumed or contractual  liability  including  indemnities under this Lease, with
amounts not less than  $1,000,000.00  per occurrence in respect of bodily injury
and death, $5,000,000.00 in the aggregate and $1,000,000.00 for property damage;
provided that if it becomes customary for tenants occupying similar buildings in
the same City where the Leased  Property  is located to be  required  to provide
liability  coverage  with higher  limits than the  foregoing,  then Lessee shall
provide Lessor with an insurance  policy with coverage  limits that are not less
than such customary limits; and

         (f) Flood  (when the  Leased  Property  is  located in whole or in part
within a designated flood plain area) and such other hazards and in such amounts
as may be customary for comparable  properties in the area and if available from
insurance  companies  authorized to do business in the state in which the Leased
Property is located.

     XII.2  Replacement  Cost. The term "Full  Replacement  Cost" as used herein
shall  mean the  actual  replacement  cost of the  Facility  from  time to time,
including increased cost of construction  endorsement,  less exclusions provided
in the normal fire insurance policy. In the event Lessor or Lessee believes that
the Full  Replacement  Cost has  increased  or  decreased at any time during the
Term,  it shall have the right at its own expense to have such Full  Replacement
Cost  redetermined by an impartial  insurance company  reasonably  acceptable to
both parties,  hereinafter  referred to as the "impartial  appraiser";  provided
that such  redetermination  shall not occur more  often  than once  every  three
years.  The party  desiring to have the Full  Replacement  Cost so  redetermined
shall forthwith,  on receipt of such  determination by the impartial  appraiser,
give written notice thereof to the other party hereto. The determination of such
impartial appraiser shall be final and binding on the parties hereto, and Lessee
shall forthwith increase,  or may decrease,  the amount of the insurance carried
pursuant to this Article to the amount so determined by the impartial appraiser.

     XII.3 Additional  Insurance.  In addition to the insurance described above,
Lessee shall maintain such  additional  insurance as may be reasonably  required
from time to time by any Facility  Mortgagee  which is consistent with insurance
coverage for similar  properties in the city,  county and state where the Leased
Property is located,  or required pursuant to any applicable Legal  Requirement,
and shall at all times  maintain  or cause to be  maintained  adequate  worker's
compensation insurance coverage for all persons employed by Lessee on the Leased
Property, in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements.

     XII.4 Waiver of Subrogation.  All insurance  policies (other than liability
and worker's compensation insurance) carried by either party covering the Leased
Property,  the Fixtures,  the Facility and/or the Personal  Property,  including
contents,  fire and  casualty  insurance,  shall  expressly  waive  any right of
subrogation  on the part of the  insurer  against the other  party.  The parties
hereto  agree  that  their  policies  will  include  such  a  waiver  clause  or
endorsement  so long as the same is obtainable  without  extra cost,  and in the
event of such an extra charge the other party, at its election,  may request and
pay the same,  but shall not be  obligated to do so. Each party waives any claim
it has against the other party to the extent such claim is covered by insurance.

     XII.5 Form of  Insurance.  All of the policies of insurance  referred to in
this  Section  shall be written  in form  reasonably  satisfactory  to Lessor by
insurance  companies  reasonably  satisfactory  to  Lessor;  provided  that  the
deductibles for insurance required by Sections 12.1(a) through 12.1 (d) shall be
no greater than  $50,000.00 and the deductible for coverage  required by Section
12.1(e)  shall be no greater  than  $100,000.00.  Lessee  shall pay all premiums
therefor,  and deliver such policies or certificates  thereof to Lessor prior to
their effective date (and, with respect to any renewal policy,  at least 30 days
prior to the expiration of the existing policy).  In the event of the failure of
Lessee to effect such  insurance  in the names  herein  called for or to pay the
premiums therefor, or to deliver such policies or certificates thereof to Lessor
at the times required,  Lessor shall be entitled,  but shall have no obligation,
to enact such insurance and pay the premiums  therefor,  which premiums shall be
repayable by Lessee to Lessor upon written demand therefor, and failure to repay
the same  shall  constitute  an Event of Default  within the  meaning of Section
15.1(c).  Each insurer  mentioned in this Section shall agree, by endorsement on
the policy or policies issued by it, or by independent  instrument  furnished to
Lessor,  that it will give to Lessor prior  written  notice before the policy or
policies in question shall be altered, allowed to expire or canceled.

     XII.6  Change  in  Limits.  In the  event  that  Lessor  shall  at any time
reasonably and in good faith believe the limits of the personal injury, property
damage or general public  liability  insurance then carried to be  insufficient,
the parties shall endeavor to agree on the proper and reasonable limits for such
insurance to be carried and such insurance shall  thereafter be carried with the
limits thus agreed on until further  change  pursuant to the  provisions of this
Section.  If the  parties  shall be  unable to agree  thereon,  the  proper  and
reasonable  limits for such insurance  shall be determined by an impartial third
party


                                       15
<PAGE>
selected by the parties the costs of which shall be divided  equally between the
parties. Such  redeterminations,  whether made by the parties or by arbitration,
shall be made no more  frequently  than every year.  Nothing herein shall permit
the amount of  insurance  to be reduced  below the amount or amounts  reasonably
required by any Facility Mortgagee.

     XII.7 Blanket Policy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Section,  Lessee's  obligations to carry the insurance  provided for herein
may be brought within the coverage of a so-called  blanket policy or policies of
insurance carried and maintained by Lessee;  provided that the coverage afforded
Lessor will not be reduced or  diminished  or otherwise  be different  from that
which would exist under separate policies meeting all other requirements of this
Lease;  provided further that the requirements of this Article XII are otherwise
satisfied.

     XII.8 No Separate  Insurance.  Without the prior written consent of Lessor,
Lessee  shall not,  on  Lessee's  own  initiative  or pursuant to the request or
requirement of any third party, take out separate  insurance  concurrent in form
or  contributing  in the event of loss with that required in this Article XII to
be furnished by, or which may reasonably be required by a Facility  Mortgagee to
be furnished by, Lessee, or increase the amounts of any then-existing  insurance
required  under this Article XII by securing an additional  policy or additional
policies,  unless all parties having an insurable interest in the subject matter
of the insurance, including in all cases Lessor and all Facility Mortgagees, are
included  therein as  additional  insureds  and the loss is  payable  under said
insurance  in the same manner as losses are  required  to be payable  under this
Lease.  Lessee  shall  immediately  notify  Lessor of the taking out of any such
separate  insurance  or  of  the  increasing  of  any  of  the  amounts  of  the
then-existing   insurance  required  under  this  Article  XII  by  securing  an
additional policy or additional policies.

     XII.9  Insurance  for  Contractors.  If Lessee  shall engage or cause to be
engaged any  contractor  to perform  work on the Leased  Property,  Lessee shall
require such contractor to carry and maintain insurance  coverage  comparable to
the  foregoing  requirements,  at no expense to Lessor;  provided  that in cases
where such coverage is excessive in relation to the work being done,  Lessee may
allow  any  such  contractor  to  carry  or  maintain  alternative  coverage  in
reasonable  amounts upon  Lessor's  prior  written  consent,  which shall not be
unreasonably withheld.

                                  ARTICLE XIII
                                FIRE AND CASUALTY
                                -----------------

     XIII.1  Insurance  Proceeds.  All proceeds payable by reason of any loss or
damage to the Leased  Property or any  portion  thereof,  and insured  under any
policy of  insurance  required  by Article  XII of this  Lease  shall be paid to
Lessor and held by Lessor in trust  (subject to the  provisions of Section 13.7)
and shall be made available for reconstruction or repair, as the case may be, of
any damage to or destruction of the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, and
shall be paid out by Lessor  from time to time for the  reasonable  cost of such
reconstruction  or repair in accordance  with this Article XIII after Lessee has
expended an amount equal to or exceeding  the  deductible  under any  applicable
insurance  policy.  Any  excess  proceeds  of  insurance   remaining  after  the
completion of the restoration or  reconstruction of the Leased Property shall be
retained  by Lessee  free and  clear  upon  completion  of any such  repair  and
restoration  except as  otherwise  specifically  provided  below in this Article
XIII; provided that in the event neither Lessor nor Lessee is required or elects
to repair or restore the Leased Property, then all such insurance proceeds shall
be retained by Lessor.  All salvage resulting from any risk covered by insurance
shall belong to Lessee, including any salvage relating to Capital Additions paid
for by Lessee.

     XIII.2  Reconstruction  in the Event of Damage or  Destruction  Covered  by
Insurance.

         (a)      Facility  Rendered  Unsuitable for Its Primary  Intended  Use.
Except as provided in Section 13.7, if during the Term,  the Facility is totally
or partially destroyed from a risk covered by the


                                       16
<PAGE>
insurance  described  in  Article  XII  and the  Facility  thereby  is  rendered
Unsuitable for its Primary  Intended Use, such damage or  destruction  shall not
terminate this Lease and all of Lessee's  obligations with respect to payment of
the Rent shall  continue  in full  force and  effect  and shall not be  affected
thereby and Lessee shall either:

                  (i) apply all proceeds payable with respect thereto to restore
         the Facility to substantially the same condition as existed immediately
         prior to such damage or destruction, or

                  (ii)  offer  either (A) to acquire  the Leased  Property  from
         Lessor for a purchase price equal to the Minimum Purchase Amount of the
         Leased Property  immediately prior to such damage or destruction or (B)
         to  substitute a new  property or  properties  for the Leased  Property
         pursuant to and in accordance  with the provisions of Article XX (which
         offers Lessor may in its sole discretion refuse).

Lessee shall give written notice to Lessor within 60 days after the date of such
damage or  destruction  whether Lessee chooses option (i) or option (ii), and if
option (ii) is chosen, such notice shall be accompanied by the offer referred to
therein. In the event Lessee fails to give such notice or does not make an offer
under option  (ii),  Lessee  shall  promptly  proceed to restore the Facility to
substantially  the same condition as existed  immediately prior to the damage or
destruction.  If Lessor  does not accept  Lessee's  offer to  substitute  for or
purchase  the  Leased  Property  within 30 days  after  the date of such  offer,
Lessee's  offer  shall be deemed  withdrawn  on such 30th day and  Lessee  shall
promptly proceed to restore the Facility to substantially  the same condition as
existed immediately prior to such damage for destruction.

         (b) Facility  Not Rendered  Unsuitable  for Its Primary  Intended  Use.
Except as  provided  in  Section  13.7,  if during  the Term,  the  Facility  is
partially  destroyed  from a risk covered by the insurance  described in Article
XII,  but the  Facility  is not  thereby  rendered  Unsuitable  for its  Primary
Intended  Use,  Lessee  shall  restore the  Facility to  substantially  the same
condition as existed  immediately  prior to the damage or  destruction  and such
damage  or  destruction  shall not  terminate  this  Lease  and all of  Lessee's
obligations  hereunder,  including  Lessee's  obligations  with  respect  to the
payment of the Rent,  shall  continue  in full force and effect and shall not be
affected thereby; provided that if Lessee cannot within a reasonable time obtain
all necessary  governmental  approvals,  including  building permits,  licenses,
conditional use permits and any  certificates of need, after diligent efforts to
do so, in order to be able to perform all required repair and  restoration  work
and to operate the Facility for its Primary  Intended Use in  substantially  the
same  manner as  immediately  prior to such damage or  destruction,  then Lessee
shall either:

                  (i) offer  either (A) to acquire  that  Leased  Property  from
         Lessor  for a  purchase  price  equal to the  Minimum  Purchase  Amount
         immediately prior to such damage or destruction, or (B) to substitute a
         new property or properties for the Leased  Property  pursuant to and in
         accordance  with the  provisions  of Article XX (which offers Lessor in
         its sole discretion may refuse), or

                  (ii) after the fourth  anniversary of the  Commencement  Date,
         offer to purchase the Leased  Property from Lessor for a purchase price
         equal to the Minimum Purchase Amount of the Leased Property immediately
         prior to such damage or destruction.

Lessee shall give written notice to Lessor within 60 days after the date of such
damage or destruction whether Lessee chooses option (i)(A) or option (i)(B), and
if option (i)(B) or option (ii) is chosen,  such notice shall be  accompanied by
the offer referred to therein.  In the event Lessee fails to give such notice or
does not make an offer under  option (i) or option (ii),  Lessee shall  promptly
proceed to restore the


                                       17
<PAGE>
Facility to substantially the same condition as existed immediately prior to the
damage or  destruction.  If Lessor does not accept  Lessee's offer to substitute
for or purchase the Leased Property within 30 days after the date of such offer,
Lessee's  offer  shall be deemed  withdrawn  on such 30th day and  Lessee  shall
promptly proceed to restore the Facility to substantially  the same condition as
existed immediately prior to such damage for destruction.

     XIII.3  Reconstruction in the Event of Damage or Destruction Not Covered by
Insurance.  Except as provided in Section  13.7, if during the Term the Facility
is  totally or  materially  destroyed  from a risk  (including  earthquake)  not
covered by the insurance described in Article XII, whether or not such damage or
destruction renders the Facility Unsuitable for Its Primary Intended Use, Lessee
shall:

                  (i) restore the Facility to  substantially  the same condition
         it was in  immediately  prior to such  damage or  destruction  and such
         damage  or  destruction  shall not  terminate  this  Lease,  and all of
         Lessee's  obligations  hereunder,  including Lessee's  obligations with
         respect to the  payment of the Rent,  shall  continue in full force and
         effect and not be affected thereby, or

                  (ii)  offer  either (A) to acquire  the Leased  Property  from
         Lessor  for a  purchase  price  equal to the  Minimum  Purchase  Amount
         immediately prior to such damage or destruction, or (B) to substitute a
         new property or properties for the Leased  Property  pursuant to and in
         accordance  with the  provisions  of Article XX (which offers Lessor in
         its sole  discretion  may  refuse);  provided  that if such  damage  or
         destruction is not material in the reasonable opinion of Lessor, Lessee
         shall  restore the  Facility to  substantially  the same  condition  as
         existed immediately prior to any such damage or destruction.

Lessee shall give written notice to Lessor within 60 days after the date of such
damage or  destruction  whether Lessee chooses option (i) or option (ii), and if
option (ii) is chosen such notice shall be  accompanied by the offer referred to
therein.  If Lessor does not accept Lessee's offer to substitute for or purchase
the Leased Property within 30 days after the date of such offer,  Lessee's offer
shall be deemed to be withdrawn on such 30th day. If such offer is so withdrawn,
or if Lessee  fails to purchase  the Leased  Property or to provide a Substitute
Property in accordance with Article XX, then such damage and  destruction  shall
be deemed to be a total Taking of such  Facility  under  Section  14.2,  and the
provisions of said Section 14.2 shall apply to the rights of the parties and all
insurance  proceeds payable in connection with such damage or destruction  shall
be treated as if such proceeds constituted an "Award" under said Section 14.2.

     XIII.4 Lessee's  Property.  Lessee shall use any insurance proceeds payable
by reason of any loss of or damage to any of the  Personal  Property  to restore
such  Personal  Property  to the Leased  Property  with  items of  substantially
equivalent value to the items being replaced.

     XIII.5 Restoration of Lessee's Property. If Lessee is required or elects to
restore the  Facility as provided in Sections  13.2 or 13.3,  Lessee  shall also
restore the Personal  Property  related  thereto as required by Section 13.4 and
all Capital Additions paid for or financed by Lessor. Insurance proceeds payable
by reason of damage to Capital Additions paid for or financed by Lessor shall be
paid to Lessor and Lessor shall hold such insurance proceeds in trust to pay the
cost of repairing or replacing  such Capital  Additions in the event Lessee does
not purchase or substitute other property or properties for the Leased Property.
All  other  insurance  proceeds  shall  be paid  to  Lessee  to pay the  cost of
replacing or restoring any Capital Additions paid for or financed by Lessee.

     XIII.6 No Abatement of the Rent.  This Lease shall remain in full force and
effect and  Lessee's  obligation  to make rental  payments  and to pay all other
charges  required by this Lease shall remain unabated during any period required
for repair and restoration.

     XIII.7 Damage Near End of Term.  Notwithstanding any provisions of Sections
13.2 or 13.3 to the contrary, if damage to or destruction of the Facility occurs
during the last 12 months of the Term, and if such damage or destruction  cannot
be fully  repaired and restored  within the lesser of (i) six months or (ii) the
period remaining in the Term immediately following the date of loss, then either
party  shall  have the  right  to  terminate  this  Lease by  giving  notice  of
termination  to the  other  within  30 days  after  the date of such  damage  or
destruction,  in which event  Lessor  shall be entitled to retain the  insurance
proceeds and Lessee  shall pay to Lessor on demand the amount of any  deductible
or uninsured loss arising in connection therewith; provided that any such notice
given by Lessor shall be void and of no force and effect if Lessee  exercises an
available  option to extend the Term for one Extended  Term,  or one  additional
Extended  Term,  as the case may be,  within 30 days  following  receipt of such
termination notice.

     XIII.8 Purchase or  Substitution.  In the event Lessor accepts any offer by
Lessee to purchase the Leased Property or to substitute a property or properties
for the Leased Property, this Lease shall terminate upon payment of the purchase
price and execution and delivery of all documentation in accordance with Article
XVII, or execution and delivery of all documents  required in connection  with a
Substitute  Property  under Article XX. Lessor shall remit to Lessee,  or in the
case of a purchase  allow Lessee a credit toward the purchase  price,  an amount
equal to all insurance proceeds being held in trust by Lessor.

     XIII.9 Waiver.  Lessee hereby  knowingly and expressly waives any statutory
or common law rights of  termination  which may arise by reason of any damage or
destruction of the Facility.

                                   ARTICLE XIV
                                  CONDEMNATION
                                  ------------

     XIV.1  Parties'  Rights  and  Obligations.  If during the Term there is any
Taking of all or any part of the Leased  Property or any  interest in this Lease
by  Condemnation,  the rights and obligations of the parties shall be determined
by this Article XIV.

     XIV.2 Total Taking.  If there is a Taking of all of the Leased  Property by
Condemnation,  this Lease shall terminate on the Date of Taking, and the Minimum
Rent and all Additional  Charges paid or payable  hereunder shall be apportioned
and paid to the Date of Taking.

     XIV.3  Partial  Taking.  If there is a Taking  of a portion  of the  Leased
Property  by  Condemnation  such  that  the  Facility  is not  thereby  rendered
Unsuitable for Its Primary  Intended Use, this Lease shall not terminate and all
of Lessee's obligations  hereunder,  including Lessee's obligations with respect
to the  payment of the Rent,  shall  continue in full force and effect and shall
not  be  affected  thereby.  If,  however,  the  Facility  is  thereby  rendered
Unsuitable for Its Primary Intended Use, Lessee shall either:

                  (i) at Lessee's expense,  restore the Facility,  to the extent
         possible,  to substantially  the same condition as existed  immediately
         prior to the partial  Taking,  in which case the  proceeds of any Award
         shall  be  applied  to such  restoration  to the  extent  necessary  or
         appropriate, or

                  (ii)  offer  either (A) to acquire  the Leased  Property  from
         Lessor for a purchase price equal to the Minimum Purchase Amount of the
         Leased Property  immediately  prior to such partial  Taking,  or (B) to
         substitute  a new  property  or  properties  for  the  Leased  Property
         pursuant to and in accordance  with the provisions of Article XX (which
         offers Lessor may in its sole discretion refuse), or


                                       19
<PAGE>
                  (iii)  terminate this Lease  effective upon the effective date
of such Taking.

Lessee will give written  notice to Lessor within 60 days after Lessee  receives
notice of the Taking whether Lessee chooses option (i), option (ii)(A) or option
(ii)(B) or option (iii),  and if option (ii)(B) is chosen,  such notice shall be
accompanied  by the offer  referred  to  therein.  In the event  Lessor does not
accept  Lessee's offer to so purchase the Leased  Property  within 30 days after
receipt of the notice described in the preceding sentence, Lessee may either (a)
withdraw  its offer to purchase  the Leased  Property and proceed to restore the
Facility, to the extent possible, to substantially the same condition as existed
immediately  prior to the partial  Taking,  or (b)  terminate the offer and this
Lease by written notice to Lessor.

     XIV.4 Restoration.  If there is a partial Taking of the Leased Property and
this Lease  remains in full force and effect  pursuant to any  provision of this
Article XIV, Lessee shall accomplish all necessary restoration in order that the
Leased Property may continue to be used for its Primary Intended Use.

     XIV.5 Award Distribution. In the event Lessee purchases the Leased Property
pursuant to Section  14.3 or Lessor  accepts any offer by Lessee to purchase the
Leased Property or to provide a Substitute  Property  therefor  pursuant to this
Article XIV,  then the entire Award shall belong to Lessee and Lessor  agrees to
assign to Lessee  all of its  rights  thereto.  Except  as  otherwise  expressly
provided in this  Article  XIV, in any other event the entire Award shall belong
to and be  paid  to  Lessor;  provided  that  if this  Lease  is  terminated  in
accordance  with  Section  14.2(b) or 14.3(a),  and subject to the rights of any
Facility Mortgagees,  Lessee shall be entitled to receive from the Award any sum
attributable  to any Capital  Additions  for which  Lessee  would be entitled to
reimbursement  at the end of the Term  pursuant  to the  provisions  of  Section
9.2(b),  but only if and to the extent such Award expressly  includes such items
and  allocates a value  thereto.  If Lessee is required or elects to restore the
Facility,  Lessor agrees that, subject to the rights of the Facility Mortgagees,
its  portion of the Award shall be used for such  restoration  and it shall hold
such  portion  of the  Award  in  trust,  for  application  to the  costs of the
restoration.

     XIV.6  Temporary  Taking.  The Taking of the Leased  Property,  or any part
thereof,  by military or other  public  authority  shall  constitute a Taking by
Condemnation  only  when  the use and  occupancy  by the  Taking  authority  has
continued for longer than six months.  During any such six-month  period all the
provisions  of this  Lease  shall  remain in full  force and effect and the Rent
shall not be abated or reduced  during such period of Taking;  provided  that to
the extent any  compensation is paid by the Taking authority as a result of such
temporary Taking, Lessee will retain such compensation.

     XIV.7  Purchase or  Substitution.  In the event Lessor accepts any offer by
Lessee to purchase the Leased Property or to substitute a property or properties
for the Leased Property, this Lease shall terminate upon payment of the purchase
price and execution and delivery of all appropriate  documentation in accordance
with Article  XVII,  or  execution  and  delivery of all  documents  required in
connection with a Substitute Property under Article XX.

                                     -------

     XV.1 Events of Default.  The occurrence of any one or more of the following
events shall constitute events of default  (individually,  an "Event of Default"
and, collectively, "Events of Default") hereunder:

         (a) An event of default shall occur under any other lease (the "Related
Leases")  between  Lessor  or any of its  Affiliates  and  Lessee  or any of its
Affiliates,  which  event of default is not cured  within the  applicable  grace
period set forth therein;


                                       20
<PAGE>
         (b) Lessee  shall fail to make a payment of the Rent  payable by Lessee
under  this  Lease  when the  same  becomes  due and  payable  and such  failure
continues for a period of ten calendar days after written  notice from Lessor to
Lessee;

         (c) Lessee shall fail to observe or perform any other term, covenant or
condition of this Lease or any document executed in connection herewith and such
failure  is not cured by  Lessee  within a period of 30 days  after  receipt  by
Lessee of notice  thereof  from  Lessor,  unless  such  failure  cannot with due
diligence be cured within a period of 30 days,  in which case such failure shall
not be deemed to continue if Lessee proceeds  promptly and with due diligence to
cure the  failure  and  diligently  completes  the  curing  thereof  (as soon as
reasonably possible);

         (d)      Lessee shall:

                  (i) admit in writing its inability to pay its debts  generally
         as they become due,

                  (ii) file a  petition  in  bankruptcy  or a  petition  to take
         advantage of any insolvency law,

                  (iii) make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors,

                  (iv) consent to the  appointment of a receiver of itself or of
         the whole or any substantial part of its property,

                  (v)  file a  petition  or  answer  seeking  reorganization  or
         arrangement  under the Federal  bankruptcy laws or any other applicable
         law or statute of the United States of America or any state thereof;

         (e) Lessee shall default beyond any applicable  grace period  contained
in one or more major  credit  facilities  which by their terms  would  permit an
outstanding balance equal to or greater than $10,000,000.00 in the aggregate and
the same shall be accelerated by the lenders or other applicable parties; or

         (f) Lessee's corporate parent company,  Guarantor,  fails to maintain a
Consolidated Tangible Net Worth of at least $50,000,000.00.

     XV.2 Remedies.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred,  Lessor may, at
its  election,  then or at any time  thereafter,  pursue  any one or more of the
following remedies, in addition to any remedies which may be permitted by law or
by other provisions of this Lease,  without further notice or demand,  except as
hereinafter provided:

         (a) Without any notice or demand whatsoever, Lessor may take any one or
more  actions  permissible  at law to ensure  performance  by Lessee of Lessee's
covenants and obligations under this Lease. In this regard, it is agreed that if
Lessee abandons or vacates the Leased  Property,  Lessor may enter upon and take
possession of such Leased Property in order to protect it from deterioration and
continue to demand from Lessee the monthly rentals and other charges provided in
this  Lease.  Lessor  shall  use  reasonable  efforts  to relet on  commercially
reasonable terms but shall have no absolute obligation to relet. If Lessor does,
at its sole  discretion,  elect to relet the  Leased  Property,  such  action by
Lessor shall not be deemed as an acceptance of Lessee's  surrender of the Leased
Property unless Lessor expressly  notifies Lessee of such acceptance in writing,
Lessee hereby acknowledging that Lessor shall otherwise be reletting as Lessee's
agent.  It is further  agreed in this  regard  that in the event of any Event of
Default  described in this Article XV, Lessor shall have the right to enter upon
the Leased Property and do whatever Lessee is obligated to do under the terms of
this Lease. Lessee agrees to reimburse Lessor


                                       21
<PAGE>
on demand for any  reasonable  expenses which Lessor may incur in thus effecting
compliance with Lessee's  obligations  under this Lease, and further agrees that
Lessor shall not be liable for any damages resulting to Lessee from such action,
except as may result from Lessor's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

         (b) Lessor may  terminate  this Lease by written  notice to Lessee,  in
which event Lessee shall  immediately  surrender the Leased  Property to Lessor,
and if Lessee fails to do so, Lessor may, without  prejudice to any other remedy
which  Lessor  may have for  possession  or  arrearage  in rent  (including  any
interest  which  may have  accrued  pursuant  to  Section  2.3 of this  Lease or
otherwise),  to the  extent  permitted  by  applicable  law enter  upon and take
possession  of the  Leased  Property  and expel or remove  Lessee  and any other
person who may be occupying said premises or any part thereof other than Tenants
pursuant to Tenant Leases. In addition, Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor on demand
the  amount of all loss and  damage  which  Lessor  may  suffer by reason of any
termination effected pursuant to this subsection (b), said loss and damage to be
determined,  at Lessor's option, by either of the following alternative measures
of damages:

                  (i) Although  Lessor shall be under no absolute  obligation to
         attempt and shall be obligated only to use reasonable efforts, to relet
         the Leased  Property,  until the Leased  Property is relet Lessee shall
         pay to  Lessor on or before  the first day of each  calendar  month the
         monthly  rentals and other  charges  provided in this Lease.  After the
         Leased Property has been relet by Lessor, Lessee shall pay to Lessor on
         the 10th day of each calendar month the difference  between the monthly
         rentals  and other  charges  provided  in this Lease for the  preceding
         calendar month and that actually collected by Lessor for such month. If
         it is  necessary  for  Lessor  to bring  suit in order to  collect  any
         deficiency,  Lessor  shall have a right to allow such  deficiencies  to
         accumulate  and to bring an action  on  several  or all of the  accrued
         deficiencies  at one time. Any such suit shall not prejudice in any way
         the  right of  Lessor  to bring a  similar  action  for any  subsequent
         deficiency  or  deficiencies.  Any  amount  collected  by  Lessor  from
         subsequent  tenants  for any  calendar  month in excess of the  monthly
         rentals and other  charges  provided in this Lease shall be credited to
         Lessee in reduction of Lessee's  liability  for any calendar  month for
         which the  amount  collected  by Lessor  will be less than the  monthly
         rentals and other charges provided in this Lease, but Lessee shall have
         no right to such excess other than the above described credit; or

                  (ii) When Lessor desires, Lessor may demand a final settlement
         not to exceed  the  Minimum  Purchase  Amount at the time of such final
         settlement.  Upon demand for a final  settlement,  Lessor  shall have a
         right to, and Lessee hereby agrees to pay, the  difference  between the
         total of all monthly  rentals and other charges  provided in this Lease
         for the  remainder of the Term and the  reasonable  rental value of the
         Leased  Property for such period  (including a reasonable time to relet
         the Leased  Property),  as  determined  pursuant to the  provisions  of
         Article  XXVIII  hereof,  such  difference  to be discounted to present
         value  at a rate  equal  to the  Treasury  Yield  then in  effect  with
         maturity periods substantially equivalent to the balance of the Initial
         Term or any Extended Term exercised by Lessee  pursuant to the terms of
         Article XXXIV.

         The rights and remedies of Lessor hereunder are cumulative, and pursuit
of any of the above  remedies  shall not preclude  pursuit of any other remedies
prescribed in other  sections of this Lease and any other  remedies  provided by
law or  equity.  Forbearance  by Lessor to enforce  one or more of the  remedies
herein  provided  upon an Event of Default  shall not be deemed or  construed to
constitute  a waiver of such Event of Default.  Exercise by Lessor of any one or
more  remedies  shall not  constitute  an  acceptance of surrender of the Leased
Property by Lessee, it being understood that such surrender can be effected only
by the prior written agreement of Lessor and Lessee.


                                       22
<PAGE>
     XV.3  Additional  Expenses.  In addition to payments  required  pursuant to
subsections (a) and (b) of Section 15.2 above,  Lessee shall  compensate  Lessor
for all  reasonable  expenses  incurred  by Lessor in  repossessing  the  Leased
Property  (including any increase in insurance premiums caused by the vacancy of
the Leased  Property),  all reasonable  expenses incurred by Lessor in reletting
(including  repairs,  remodeling,  replacements,  advertisements  and  brokerage
fees),  all  reasonable  concessions  granted  to a new  tenant  upon  reletting
(including renewal options previously granted by Lessee),  all fees and expenses
incurred by Lessor as a direct or indirect result of any appropriate action by a
Facility  Mortgagee,  any expenses of Lessor  incurred for the  installation  of
separate  lines or  meters  for any  public  utilities  not  previously  metered
separately from adjacent property of Lessee.

     XV.4 Application of Funds. All payments  otherwise  payable to Lessee which
are  received by Lessor  under any of the  provisions  of this Lease  during the
existence or  continuance  of any Event of Default  shall be applied to Lessee's
obligations  in the order which  Lessor may  reasonably  determine  or as may be
prescribed by the laws of the state in which the Facility is located.

                                   ARTICLE XVI
                             LESSOR'S RIGHT TO CURE
                             ----------------------

         If Lessee,  without the prior written consent of Lessor,  shall fail to
make any payment,  or to perform any act required to be made or performed  under
this Lease and to cure the same within the  relevant  time  periods  provided in
Section 15.1,  Lessor,  without  waiving or releasing any obligation or Event of
Default,  may (but shall be under no obligation to) make such payment or perform
such act for the account  and at the  expense of Lessee,  and may, to the extent
permitted by law,  enter upon the Leased  Property for such purpose and take all
such action  thereon as, in Lessor's  opinion,  may be necessary or  appropriate
therefor.  No such entry shall be deemed an eviction of Lessee. All sums so paid
by Lessor,  together with a late charge thereon (to the extent permitted by law)
at the  Overdue  Rate from the date on which such sums or  expenses  are paid or
incurred by Lessor, and all costs and expenses (including  reasonable attorneys'
fees and  expenses,  in each case,  to the extent  permitted by law) so incurred
shall be paid by Lessee  to Lessor on  demand.  The  obligations  of Lessee  and
rights of Lessor  contained  in this Article  shall  survive the  expiration  or
earlier termination of this Lease.

                                  ARTICLE XVII
                         PURCHASE OF THE LEASED PROPERTY
                         -------------------------------

         In the event Lessee  purchases the Leased Property from Lessor pursuant
to any of the terms of this Lease, Lessor shall, upon receipt from Lessee of the
applicable  purchase  price  (after  credit  for  the  balance  of  the  Capital
Replacement  Account),  together  with full  payment of any unpaid  Rent due and
payable with respect to any period  ending on or before the date of the purchase
and  any  other  amounts  owing  to  Lessor  hereunder,  deliver  to  Lessee  an
appropriate special warranty deed (in substantially the same form used to convey
the Leased Property to Lessor) and any other documents  reasonably  requested by
Lessee to convey the interest of Lessor in and to the Leased Property to Lessee,
and such other standard documents usually and customarily prepared in connection
with such  transfers,  free and clear of all  encumbrances  other than (a) those
that Lessee has agreed hereunder to pay or discharge,  (b) those mortgage liens,
if any,  which Lessee has agreed in writing to accept and to take title  subject
to, (c) any other  Encumbrances  permitted to be imposed on the Leased  Property
under the  provisions of Article XXXII which are assumable at no cost to Lessee,
and (d) any matters  affecting the Leased Property on or as of the  Commencement
Date. The difference between the applicable  purchase price and the total of the
encumbrances assigned or taken subject to shall be paid in cash to Lessor, or as
Lessor may direct,  in federal or other  immediately  available  funds except as
otherwise  mutually  agreed by Lessor and  Lessee.  The closing of any such sale
shall  be  contingent  upon  and  subject  to  Lessee   obtaining  all  required
governmental  consents and approvals for such transfer.  If such sale shall fail
to be  consummated  by reason  of the  inability  of  Lessee to obtain  all such
approvals and  consents,  any options to extend the Term which  otherwise  would
have  expired  during the  period  from the date when  Lessee  elected or became
obligated to purchase the Leased Property until Lessee's inability to obtain the
approvals  and consents is confirmed  shall be deemed to remain in effect for 30
days after the end of such  period.  The closing  with  respect to any such sale
shall be  appropriately  timed to accommodate the  determination  of the Minimum
Purchase  Amount  in  accordance  with  Article  XXVIII.  All  expenses  of such
conveyance,  including the cost of title  examination or standard coverage title
insurance, reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Lessor in connection with such
conveyance,  transfer  taxes  and  recording  fees  shall  be  paid  by  Lessee.
Additionally,  any sale to Lessee  shall be subject to delivery of an opinion of
Lessor's  counsel  confirming  that (i) the sale  will not  result  in  ordinary
recapture  income to Lessor  pursuant to Code  Section 1245 or 1250 or any other
Code provision, (ii) the sale will result in income, if any, to Lessor of a type
described in Code Section  856(c)(2) or 856(c)(3)  and will not result in income
of the types  described in Code  Section  856(c)(4) or result in the tax imposed
under  Code  Section  857(b)(6),  and (iii) the  sale,  together  with all other
substitutions and sales made or requested by Lessee pursuant to any other leases
with Lessor of properties  hereto or any other  transfers of the Leased Property
or the properties leased under other such operating leases,  during the relevant
time period,  will not jeopardize the  qualification  of Lessor as a real estate
investment trust under Code Sections 856-860.

                                  ARTICLE XVIII
                                  HOLDING OVER
                                  ------------

         If Lessee  shall for any  reason  remain in  possession  of the  Leased
Property after the expiration of the Term or any earlier termination of the Term
hereof,  such possession  shall be as a tenancy at will during which time Lessee
shall pay as  rental  each  month an amount  equal to the sum of (a) 150% of the
aggregate of 1/12 of the aggregate Minimum Rent payable with respect to the last
complete  year  prior to the  expiration  of the Term,  plus (b) all  Additional
Charges  accruing  during such month,  plus (c) all other sums, if any,  payable
pursuant to the  provisions  of this Lease with respect to the Leased  Property.
During such period of tenancy,  Lessee and Lessor  shall be obligated to perform
and  observe all of the terms,  covenants  and  conditions  of this Lease and to
continue its occupancy and use of the Leased Property.  Nothing contained herein

                                   -----------

     XIX.1  Discontinuance  of  Operations  on the  Leased  Property;  Offer  of
Substitution.  If Lessee has  discontinued  use of the Leased  Property  for its
Primary  Intended Use for 90  consecutive  days without  Lessor's  prior written
consent  for  alterations  or  remodeling  pursuant  to Article  IX,  repairs or
restoration pursuant to Article XIII or Article XIV or otherwise,  then provided
Lessor has not terminated this Lease pursuant to Section 15.2,  Lessee may offer
to substitute a new property or properties for the Leased  Property  pursuant to
and in accordance  with the provisions of Article XX (which offers Lessor may in
its sole discretion refuse).

     XIX.2 Obsolescence of the Leased Property; Offer to Purchase. If the Leased
Property becomes Unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use, all as set forth in an
Officer's  Certificate delivered to Lessor. Lessee may on or after the fifteenth

Payment Date  occurring not less than 120 days after the date of such  Officer's
Certificate.

     XIX.3 Conveyance of Leased Property. In the event Lessee elects to purchase

occurring  not less than 120 days  after the date of the  Officer's  Certificate
referred to in Section  19.2,  Lessor  shall,  upon  receipt  from Lessee of the
Minimum  Purchase  Amount  as of the date of such  purchase  and all Rent and or
other sums then due and payable under this Lease  (excluding any  installment of
Minimum Rent due on such Payment Date),  convey the Leased Property to Lessee on

Lessee shall have the option to purchase the Leased Property upon written notice
to Lessor for a purchase  price equal to the  Minimum  Purchase  Amount.  If not
sooner exercised, the option to purchase granted hereby will expire and be of no
further force and effect upon the expiration the Term or the termination of this

                            SUBSTITUTION OF PROPERTY
                            ------------------------

     XX.1 Substitution of Property for the Leased Property.

         (a) In the event Lessor accepts an offer by Lessee to substitute  other
property for the Leased Property under Article XIII, Article XIV or Article XIX,
and provided  that no Event of Default  shall have  occurred and be  continuing,
Lessee shall have the right  (subject to the  conditions set forth below in this
Article  XX, and upon  notice to Lessor) to  substitute  one or more  properties
(collectively  referred  to as  "Substitute  Properties"  or  individually  as a
"Substitute  Property")  for the  Leased  Property  on a  monthly  Payment  Date
specified in such notice (the  "Substitution  Date")  occurring not less than 90
days after receipt by Lessor of such notice.  The notice shall be in the form of
an  Officer's  Certificate  and shall  specify the  reason(s)  for the  proposed
substitution  and  the  proposed  Substitution  Date.  Notwithstanding  anything
contained herein to the contrary, any other substitution for the Leased Property
shall require the prior written consent of Lessor which shall be within the sole
discretion of Lessor.

         (b) If Lessee gives the notice  referred to in Section  20.1(a)  above,
Lessee shall present to Lessor one or more  properties (or groups of properties)
each of which property (or groups of properties)


                                       25
<PAGE>
shall provide Lessor with a yield (i.e.,  an annual return on its equity in such
property)  equal to or greater than the Current Yield (and the yield  reasonably
expected to be received  thereafter  throughout  the remainder of the term) from
the Leased Property at the time of such proposed substitution (or in the case of
a proposed substitution as a result of damage, destruction or Condemnation,  the
Current Yield immediately prior to such damage, destruction or Condemnation) and
as reasonably  projected  over the remaining Term of this Lease and shall have a
Fair Market  Value  substantially  equivalent  to the Fair  Market  Value of the
Leased  Property.  Lessor  shall have a period of 90 days within which to review
such  information  and either to accept or to reject the Substitute  Property or
Substitute  Properties  so  presented;  provided that if Lessee is required by a
court  order or  administrative  action to divest or  otherwise  dispose  of the
Leased  Property  within a shorter  time  period,  in which case the time period
shall be shortened  appropriately to meet the reasonable needs of Lessee, but in
no event shall said period be less than 15 Business Days after Lessor's  receipt
of said  notice  (subject to further  extension  for any period of time in which
Lessor is not timely provided with the information  provided for in Section 20.2
and  Section  20.3  below);  provided  that if  Lessor  shall  contend  that the
Substitute Properties fail to meet all the conditions for substitution set forth
in this Article XX,  including the provisions of Sections  20.1(c),  (d) and (e)
below,  the matter shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance  with Article
XXXI and the time  periods for Lessor's  approval or  rejection  shall be tolled
during the period of such arbitration.

         (c) It  shall  be a  condition  to  consummation  of  any  substitution
hereunder that all of the conditions set forth in Section 20.2 below, shall have
been  satisfied  with  respect to such  substitution,  and to the delivery of an
opinion  of counsel  for  Lessor  confirming  that (i) the  substitution  of the
Substitute  Property for the Leased  Property will qualify as an exchange solely
of property of a like-kind under Section 1031 of the Code, in which,  generally,
except for "boot" such as cash needed to equalize  exchange  values or discharge
indebtedness,  no gain or loss is recognized to Lessor, (ii) the substitution or
sale will not result in  ordinary  recapture  income to Lessor  pursuant to Code
Section 1245 or 1250 or any other Code provision, (iii) the substitution or sale
will result in income,  if any, to Lessor of a type  described  in Code  Section
856(c)(2) or 856(c)(3)  and will not result in income of the types  described in
Code  Section  856(c)(4)  or  result  in the  tax  imposed  under  Code  Section
857(b)(6),   and  (iv)  the  substitution  or  sale,  together  with  all  other
substitutions and sales made or requested by Lessee pursuant to any other leases
with Lessor of properties  hereto or any other  transfers of the Leased Property
or the properties leased under other such operating leases,  during the relevant
time period,  will not jeopardize the  qualification  of Lessor as a real estate
investment trust under Code Sections 856-860.

         (d) In the event that the equity  value of the  Substitute  Property or
group of Substitute  Properties  (i.e.,  the Fair Market Value of the Substitute
Property or group of Substitute  Properties  minus the  encumbrances  subject to
which  Lessor  will  take  the  Substitute   Property  or  group  of  Substitute
Properties) as of the Substitution  Date is greater than the equity value of the
Leased  Property  (i.e.,  the Fair Market Value of the Leased Property minus the
encumbrances  subject to which  Lessee will take the Leased  Property) as of the
Substitution  Date (or in the case of damage  destruction or  Condemnation,  the
Fair  Market   Value   immediately   prior  to  such  damage,   destruction   or
Condemnation),  Lessor  shall pay to Lessee an amount  equal to the  difference,
subject to the limitation  set forth below.  In the event that said equity value
of the Substitute  Property or group of Substitute  Properties is less than said
equity value of the Leased Property,  Lessee shall pay to Lessor an amount equal
to the  difference,  subject to the limitation set forth below.  Notwithstanding
the  foregoing,  neither  Lessor nor Lessee shall be obligated to consummate any
substitution  if such party  would be required to make a payment to the other in
excess of an amount equal to ten percent of said Fair Market Value of the Leased
Property  (the amount of cash paid by one party to the other  being  hereinafter
referred to as the "Cash Adjustment").

         (e) The Rent for such Substitute Property in all respects shall provide
Lessor with a yield at the time of such substitution (i.e., annual return on its
investment in such Substitute Property) not less than the Current Yield (and the
yield reasonably expected to be received thereafter  throughout the remainder of
the  Term)  from  the  Leased  Property  prior  to any  damage,  destruction  or
Condemnation, taking into account the Cash Adjustment paid or received by Lessor
and any other relevant factors.


                                       26
<PAGE>
         (f)  The  Minimum  Purchase  Amount  of  any  Substitute   Property  or
Substitute Properties shall be an amount equal to the Minimum Purchase Amount of
the  Leased  Property  on the  Substitution  Date  (i)  increased  by  any  Cash
Adjustment  paid by Lessor  pursuant to Section 20.1(d) above, or (ii) decreased
by any Cash Adjustment paid by Lessee pursuant to Section 20.1(d) above.

     XX.2 Conditions to Substitution.  On the Substitution  Date, the Substitute
Property will become the Leased  Property  hereunder  upon delivery by Lessee to

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

         Notwithstanding  the  existence  of any  insurance  or  self  insurance
provided for in Article XII, and without regard to the policy limits of any such
insurance or self insurance,  Lessee will protect,  indemnify, save harmless and
defend Lessor from and against all liabilities,  obligations,  claims,  damages,
penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys'
fees and expenses),  to the extent permitted by law, imposed upon or incurred by
or asserted against Lessor by reason of: (a) any accident, injury to or death of
persons or loss to property occurring on or about the Leased Property, including
any claims of malpractice,  (b) any use, misuse, no use, condition,  maintenance
or repair by Lessee of the Leased Property,  (c) any Impositions  (which are the
obligations  of Lessee to pay  pursuant  to the  applicable  provisions  of this
Lease),  (d) any  failure on the part of Lessee to perform or comply with any of

provisions of any and all existing and future  subleases of the Leased  Property
to be performed by Lessee as landlord  thereunder  and (f) the  violation of any
Hazardous  Materials  Law. Any amounts which become payable by Lessee under this
Section  shall be paid within ten days after  liability  therefor on the part of
Lessor  is  finally  determined  by  litigation  or  otherwise   (including  the
expiration of any time for appeals) and, if not timely paid, shall bear interest
(to the  extent  permitted  by law) at the  Overdue  Rate  from the date of such
determination  to the date of payment.  Lessee,  at its expense,  shall contest,
resist and defend any such claim,  action or  proceeding  asserted or instituted
against Lessor or may compromise or otherwise dispose of the same as Lessee sees
fit. Lessor shall cooperate with Lessee in a reasonable  manner to permit Lessee
to satisfy  Lessee's  obligations  hereunder,  including  the  execution  of any
instruments or documents reasonably requested by Lessee. Nothing herein shall be
construed as  indemnifying  Lessor or its agents for their own negligent acts or
omissions  or  willful  misconduct.  Lessee's  liability  for a  breach  of  the
provisions of this Article shall survive any termination of this Lease.

                            SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT
                            -------------------------

     XXIII.1  Subletting and Assignment.  Subject to the rights of Tenants under
existing  Tenant Leases and subject to the  provisions of Section 23.3 below and
any other  express  conditions  or  limitations  set forth  herein,  Lessee may,
without  the  consent of Lessor,  sublet all or any part of the Leased  Property
consistently  with the  Primary  Intended  Use.  Lessor  shall not  unreasonably
withhold its consent to any other or further subletting or assignment;  provided
that  (a) in the case of a  subletting,  the  sublessee  shall  comply  with the
provisions of Section 23.2, (b) in the case of an assignment, the assignee shall
assume in writing  and agree to keep and  perform all of the terms of this Lease
on the part of Lessee to be kept and performed  and shall be and become  jointly
and severally  liable with Lessee for the performance  thereof,  (c) an original
counterpart of each such sublease and assignment and  assumption,  duly executed
by  Lessee  and such  sublessee  or  assignee,  as the case may be,  in form and
substance  reasonably  satisfactory  to Lessor,  shall be delivered  promptly to
Lessor,  and (d) in case of either an  assignment  or  subletting,  Lessee shall
remain  primarily  liable,  as principal  rather than as surety,  for the prompt
payment  of the  Rent  and  for the  performance  and  observance  of all of the
covenants  and  conditions to be performed by Lessee  hereunder.  In addition to
Lessee's  rights to sublet and assign as provided in this section above,  Lessee
shall also have the right (upon Lessor's prior consent,  which consent shall not
unreasonably  be withheld) to enter into Tenant  Leases which extend  beyond the
Term of this Lease.  To the extent that any such Tenant Leases extend beyond the
Term of this Lease,  Lessor shall receive the rents from, and be responsible for
any  obligations on the part of the landlord or lessor under such Tenant Leases.
Any and all such Tenant Leases shall,  to the extent  applicable,  be subject to
the provisions of this Section and Section 23.2.

     XXIII.2   Non-Disturbance, Subordination and Attornment.Except for existing
Tenant  Leases,  Lessee shall insert in each written  sublease  permitted  under
Section 23.1 provisions to the effect that (a)


                                       29
<PAGE>

such sublease is subject and  subordinate  to all of the terms and provisions of
this  Lease and to the rights of Lessor  hereunder,  (b) in the event this Lease
shall terminate before the expiration of such sublease, the sublessee thereunder
will, at Lessor's option, attorn to Lessor and waive any right the sublessee may
have to terminate the sublease or to surrender possession thereunder as a result
of the  termination of this Lease and (c) in the event the sublessee  receives a
written notice from Lessor or Lessor's assignees, if any, stating that Lessee is
in default under this Lease, the sublessee, shall thereafter be obligated to pay
all rentals  accruing  under said  sublease  directly  to the party  giving such
notice, or as such party may direct.  All rentals received from the sublessee by
Lessor or Lessor's assignees, if any, shall be credited against amounts owing by
Lessee  under this  Lease.  Lessor  agrees  that  notwithstanding  any  default,
termination, expiration, sale, entry or other act or omission of Lessee pursuant
to the terms of this Lease, or at law or in equity,  Tenant's  possession  shall
not be disturbed unless such possession may otherwise be terminated  pursuant to
the terms of the applicable  Tenant Lease.  Lessor hereby agrees,  upon Lessee's
request,  to  execute a  nondisturbance  agreement  in favor of any Tenant or in
favor of any sublessee  under any sublease  permitted  under Section 23.1 above;
provided  that the  Tenant or any such  sublessee  has  acknowledged  all of the
foregoing provisions and executed all documents required by this Section 23.2.

                 OFFICER'S CERTIFICATES AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                 -----------------------------------------------

     XXIV.1  Estoppel  Certificate.  At any time and from time to time within 20
days  following  written  request by Lessor,  Lessee  will  furnish to Lessor an
Officer's Certificate certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force
and  effect (or that this  Lease is in full  force and  effect as  modified  and
setting forth the  modifications) and the dates to which the Rent has been paid.
Any such Officer's  Certificate furnished pursuant to this Article may be relied
upon by Lessor,  any prospective  purchaser of the Leased Property and any third
parties  who have an interest in the Leased  Property,  including  any Lender or
professional advisor or Lessor.

     XXIV.2  Financial  Statements  and  Certificates.  Lessee will  furnish the

         performance  or  observance  of any of the terms of any loans or credit
         facilities,  which by their terms would permit an  outstanding  balance
         equal to or greater than $10,000,000.00 in the aggregate, which default
         would permit the holder thereof to accelerate its stated maturity;  (C)

         rental  information in reasonable  detail  regarding all of the Tenants

         attached  thereto),   (C)  copies  of  the  Medicaid  rate  calculation
         worksheet (or  equivalent  thereof),  if any,  issued by the applicable
         Medicaid  Agency,  (D) copies of all notices  (regardless of form) from
         any and all licensing  and/or  certifying  agencies that the license or
         applicable  reimbursement  certification  for  the  Facility  is  being
         downgraded  to a  substandard  category,  revoked or  suspended or that
         action is pending or being  considered  to downgrade  to a  substandard
         category,  revoke or suspend the Facility's  license or  certification,
         and (E) evidence of the payment of any bed taxes or similar taxes;

                  (iv) within 30 days after filing,  copies of the 10-Q and 10-K
         Reports  of  Guarantor  filed  with the United  States  Securities  and
         Exchange Commission;

                  (v)  within  45  days  after  the  end  of  each  quarter,   a

                                   ARTICLE XXV
                                   INSPECTION
                                   ----------

         Lessee  shall  permit  Lessor  and its  authorized  representatives  to
inspect the Leased Property during usual business hours subject to any security,
health,  safety or  confidentiality  requirements  of Lessee,  the rights of the
Tenants,  any Insurance  Requirements  relating to the Leased  Property,  or any
other restrictions imposed by law or applicable regulations.

                                  ARTICLE XXVI
                                 QUIET ENJOYMENT
                                 ---------------

         So long as Lessee  shall pay all Rent as the same becomes due and shall
fully  comply with all of the terms of this Lease and  perform  its  obligations
hereunder,  Lessee shall  peaceably and quietly have,  hold and enjoy the Leased
Property  for the Term  hereof,  free of any claim or other  action by Lessor or
anyone  claiming  by,  through  or under  Lessor,  but  subject to all liens and
encumbrances  of  record  as of the date  hereof or  hereafter  consented  to by
Lessee.  No failure by Lessor to comply with the foregoing  covenant  shall give
Lessee any right to cancel or terminate this Lease,  or to fail to pay any other
sum payable  under this Lease,  or to fail to perform  any other  obligation  of
Lessee hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall have the right by
separate and  independent  action to pursue any claim or seek any damages it may
have  against  Lessor as a result of a breach by Lessor of the covenant of quiet
enjoyment contained in this Article.

                                    APPRAISAL
                                    ---------

         In the event that it becomes  necessary  to  determine  the Fair Market
Value,  Fair Market Value  Purchase  Amount,  the Fair Market  Added Value,  the
Minimum  Purchase  Amount or the Fair Market Rental Value of the Leased Property
or a Substitute  Property for any purpose of this Lease,  the party  required or
permitted to give notice of such  required  determination  shall  include in the
notice  the name of a person  selected  to act as an  appraiser  on its  behalf.
Within ten days after receipt of any such notice, Lessor (or Lessee, as the case
may be)  shall by notice to Lessee  (or  Lessor,  as the case may be)  appoint a
second person as an appraiser on its behalf. The appraisers thus appointed (each
of whom must be a member of the American  Institute of Real Estate Appraisers or
any successor  organization thereto) shall, within 45 days after the date of the
notice  appointing the first appraiser,  proceed to appraise the Leased Property
or the  Substitute  Property,  as the  case  may  be,  to  determine  any of the
foregoing  values as of the relevant date (giving effect to the impact,  if any,
of inflation  from the date of their  decision to the relevant  date);  provided
that if only one appraiser  shall have been so appointed,  or if two  appraisers
shall have been so appointed  but only one such  appraiser  shall have made such
determination  within 50 days after the making of Lessee's or Lessor's  request,
then the  determination  of such  appraiser  shall be final and binding upon the
parties.  If two appraisers  shall have been appointed and shall have made their
determinations  within the respective  requisite  periods set forth above and if
the difference between the amounts so determined shall not exceed ten percent of
the lesser of such  amounts,  then the Fair Market  Value or Fair  Market  Added
Value or the Fair Market Rental Value shall be an amount equal to 50% of the sum
of the  amounts  so  determined.  If  the  difference  between  the  amounts  so
determined  shall  exceed  10% of the  lesser  of such  amounts,  then  such two
appraisers  shall  have 20  days  to  appoint  a  third  appraiser,  but if such
appraisers fail to do so, then either party may request the American Arbitration
Association or any successor organization thereto to appoint an appraiser within
20 days of such request,  and both parties shall be bound by any  appointment so
made within such 20-day period.  If no such appraiser  shall have been appointed
within  such  20  days  or  within  90  days  of  the  original  request  for  a
determination of Fair Market Value or Fair Market Added Value or the Fair Market
Rental  Value,  whichever is earlier,  either  Lessor or Lessee may apply to any
court having  jurisdiction to have appointment made by such court. Any appraiser
appointed,  by the American  Arbitration  Association or by such court, shall be
instructed  to determine the Fair Market Value or Fair Market Added Value or the
Fair Market Rental Value within 30 days after appointment of such appraiser. The
determination of the appraiser which differs most in terms of dollar amount from
the determinations of the other two appraisers shall be excluded, and 50% of the
sum of the remaining two  determinations  shall be final and binding upon Lessor
and  Lessee as the Fair  Market  Value or Fair  Market  Added  Value or the Fair
Market Rental Value for such interest.  However, in the event that following the
appraisal  performed by said third  appraiser,  the dollar amount of two of such
appraisals  are higher and lower,  respectively,  than the dollar  amount of the
remaining appraisal in equal degrees, the determinations of both the highest and
lowest appraisal,  respectively,  shall be rejected and the determination of the
remaining  appraisal  shall be final and  binding  upon Lessor and Lessee as the
Fair Market Value or Fair Market Added Value or the Fair Market Rental Value for
such  interest.   This  provision  for   determination  by  appraisal  shall  be
specifically enforceable to the extent such remedy is available under applicable
law, and any determination hereunder shall be final and binding upon the parties
except as otherwise provided by applicable law. Lessor and Lessee shall each pay
the fees and  expenses  of the  appraiser  appointed  by it and each  shall  pay
one-half of the fees and  expenses of the third  appraiser  and  one-half of all
other costs and expenses incurred in connection with each appraisal.

                                 PURCHASE RIGHTS
                                 ---------------

         During the Term hereof  (provided that no Event of Default has occurred
and is  continuing),  Lessee shall have a first  refusal  option to purchase the
Leased Property upon the same terms and conditions as Lessor,  or its successors
and  assigns,  shall have  received an offer from a third party to purchase  the
Leased  Property,  which Lessor  intends to accept (or has  accepted  subject to
Lessee's right of first refusal  granted  herein).  If, during the Term,  Lessor
receives  such an offer or reaches such  agreement  with a third  party,  Lessor
shall promptly  notify Lessee of the purchase price for the Leased  Property and
all other  material  terms and  conditions  of such  agreement or proposed  sale
together with a copy of such offer,  and Lessee shall have 30 days after receipt
of such notice  from Lessor  within  which time to exercise  Lessee's  option to
purchase.   If  Lessee  exercises  its  option,  then  such  purchase  shall  be
consummated within the time set forth in the third-party offer and in accordance
with the  provisions  of Article  XVII  hereof to the  extent  not  inconsistent
herewith.  If Lessee shall not exercise  Lessee's option to purchase within said
30-day period after receipt of said notice from Lessor, Lessor shall be free for
a period  of 90 days  after the  expiration  of said  30-day  period to sell the
Leased  Property  to the  third  party at the  price and terms set forth in such
offer.  Whether or not such sale is  consummated,  Lessee  shall be  entitled to
exercise  its right of first  refusal as  provided  in this  Article,  as to any
subsequent sale of the Leased Property during the Term of this Lease.

                                DEFAULT BY LESSOR
                                -----------------

     XXX.1  Default by  Lessor.  Lessor  shall be in default of its  obligations
under this Lease if Lessor  shall fail to observe or perform any term,  covenant
or condition of this Lease on its part to be  performed  and such failure  shall
continue  for a period of 30 days after  written  notice  thereof is received by
Lessor,  unless such failure  cannot with due diligence be cured within a period
of 30 days,  in which  case such  failure  shall not be  deemed to  continue  if
Lessor,  within said 30-day period,  proceeds promptly and with due diligence to
cure the failure and diligently  completes the curing  thereof.  The time within
which Lessor  shall be obligated to cure any such failure  shall also be subject
to extension of time due to the  occurrence  of any  Unavoidable  Delay.  In the
event  Lessor  fails  to cure any  such  default,  Lessee,  without  waiving  or
releasing  any  obligations  hereunder,  and in addition  to all other  remedies
available to Lessee  hereunder  or at law or in equity,  may purchase the Leased
Property  from  Lessor for a  purchase  price  equal to the  greater of the Fair
Market  Value  Purchase  Amount or the  Minimum  Purchase  Amount of the  Leased
Property  minus an amount  equal to any damage  suffered  by Lessee by reason of
such  default.  In the event Lessee elects to purchase the Leased  Property,  it
shall deliver a notice thereof to Lessor  specifying a Payment Date occurring no
less  than 90 days  subsequent  to the  date of such  notice  on  which it shall
purchase  the Leased  Property,  and the same  shall be  thereupon  conveyed  in
accordance  with the  provisions of Article XVII. Any sums owed Lessee by Lessor
hereunder  shall bear interest at the Overdue Rate from the date due and payable
until the date paid.

     XXX.2 Lessee's Right to Cure. Subject to the provisions of Section 30.1, if
Lessor shall breach any covenant to be performed by it under this Lease, Lessee,
after giving notice to and demand upon Lessor in  accordance  with Section 30.1,
without waiving or releasing any obligation of Lessor hereunder, and in addition
to all other  remedies  available to Lessee  hereunder  and at law or in equity,
Lessee may (but shall be under no  obligation  at any time  thereafter  to) make
such  payment or perform  such act for the account and at the expense of Lessor.
All sums so paid by  Lessee  and all costs and  expenses  (including  reasonable
attorneys' fees) so incurred, together with interest thereon at the Overdue Rate
from the date on which such sums or  expenses  are paid or  incurred  by Lessee,
shall be paid by Lessor to Lessee  on demand or set off  against  the Rent.  The
rights  of  Lessee  hereunder  to cure and to  secure  payment  from  Lessor  in
accordance with this Section 30.2 shall survive the termination of this Lease.

                                   -----------

     XXXI.1  Controversies.  Except with  respect to the payment of Minimum Rent
hereunder,  in case any controversy shall arise between the parties hereto as to
any  of  the  requirements  of  this  Lease  or the  performance  thereof  which
controversy  the parties  shall be unable to settle by agreement or as otherwise
provided  herein,  such  controversy  shall be determined by  arbitration  to be
initiated and conducted as provided in this Article XXXI.

     XXXI.2  Appointment  of  Arbitrators.   The  party  or  parties  requesting
arbitration shall serve upon the other a written demand therefor  specifying the
matter to be submitted to  arbitration,  and  nominating an arbitrator  who is a
member in good standing of the American Arbitration  Association ("AAA"). Within
20 days after receipt of such written demand and  notification,  the other party
shall,  in writing,  nominate a person who is a member in good standing with AAA
and the two arbitrators so designated shall, within ten days thereafter,  select
a third arbitrator who is a person who is a member in good standing with AAA and
give immediate  written notice of such selection to the parties and shall fix in
said  notice a time and place for the first  meeting of the  arbitrators,  which
meeting shall be held as soon as  conveniently  possible  after the selection of
all  arbitrators,  at which time and place the  parties to the  controversy  may
appear and be heard.

     XXXI.3 Third  Arbitrator.  In case the notified party or parties shall fail
to make a  selection  upon  notice,  as  aforesaid,  or in case  the  first  two
arbitrators selected shall fail to agree upon a third arbitrator within ten days
after their selection, then such arbitrator or arbitrators may, upon application
made by either of the parties to the controversy,  after 20 days' written notice
thereof to the other party or parties,  have a third arbitrator appointed by any
judge of any United States court of record having  jurisdiction  in the state in
which the Leased Property is located or, if such office shall not then exist, by
a judge holding an office most nearly corresponding thereto.

     XXXI.4  Arbitration  Procedure.  Said  arbitrators  shall  give each of the
parties  not less  than ten days'  written  notice of the time and place of each
meeting  at which the  parties  or any of them may appear and be heard and after
hearing  the  parties in regard to the matter in dispute  and taking  such other
testimony and making such other examinations and investigations as justice shall
require  and as the  arbitrators  may deem  necessary,  they  shall  decide  the
questions submitted to them in accordance with the rules of AAA. The decision of
said  arbitrators  in writing  signed by a  majority  of them shall be final and
binding upon the parties to such  controversy.  In rendering  such decisions and
award,  the arbitrators  shall not add to, subtract from or otherwise modify the
provisions of this Lease.

     XXXI.5 Expenses.  The expenses of such arbitration shall be divided between
Lessor and Lessee unless otherwise specified in the decision of the arbitrators.
Each party in interest shall pay the fees and expenses of its own counsel.

                        FINANCING OF THE LEASED PROPERTY
                        --------------------------------

         Lessor  agrees that it will not grant or create any  mortgage,  deed of
trust,  lien,  encumbrance  or other title  retention  agreement upon the Leased
Property to secure any  indebtedness of Lessor (an  "Encumbrance"),  unless each
holder of such an Encumbrance agrees (a) to give Lessee the same notice, if any,
given to Lessor of any default or acceleration of any obligation  underlying any
such Encumbrance or any sale in foreclosure of such  Encumbrance,  (b) to permit
Lessee to appear with its  representatives  and to bid at any public foreclosure
sale with  respect to any such  Encumbrance,  (c)  agrees to release  the Leased
Property from the Encumbrance upon the exercise by Lessee of a right to purchase
contained  in this Lease and the  payment by Lessee of the  applicable  purchase
price,  and (d) enters into an agreement  with Lessee  containing the provisions
described in Article XXXIII of this Lease.  Lessee agrees to execute and deliver
to Lessor or the holder of an Encumbrance any written agreement required by this
Article within ten days of written request thereof by Lessor or the holder of an
Encumbrance. Lessee hereby consents to the assignment of and grant of a security
interest  and  lien  in  this  Lease  together  with  the  other  documents  and
instruments  delivered to Lessor by Lessee and Guarantor  pursuant hereto and in
connection  herewith  (collectively,  the "Assigned  Documents"),  including all
rights of  Lessor  in, to and under  each  Assigned  Document,  by Lessor to any
Facility  Mortgagee  requesting same.  Lessee hereby further agrees to execute a
Consent to Assignment in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit G.

                  SUBORDINATION, ATTORNMENT AND NON-DISTURBANCE
                  ---------------------------------------------

         At  the  request  from  time  to  time  by one or  more  holders  of an
Encumbrance  that may  hereafter be placed upon the Leased  Property or any part
thereof, and any and all renewals, replacements, modifications,  consolidations,
spreaders and extensions thereof,  Lessee will subordinate this Lease and all of
Lessee's rights and estate hereunder to each such Encumbrance and will attorn to
and recognize such holder (or the purchaser at any foreclosure  sale or any sale
under a power of sale contained in any such Encumbrance or a holder by a deed in
lieu of  foreclosure,  as the case may be) as Lessor  under  this  Lease for the
balance of the Term then  remaining,  subject to all of the terms and provisions
of this Lease;  provided that each such institutional holder simultaneously with
or prior to  recording  any such  Encumbrance  executes  and  delivers a written
agreement in recordable  form (a)  consenting  to this Lease and agreeing  that,
notwithstanding any such other lease,  mortgage,  deed of trust, right, title or
interest, or any default, expiration,  termination,  foreclosure, sale, entry or
other act or omission  under,  pursuant to or  affecting  any of the  foregoing,
Lessee shall not be disturbed in peaceful  enjoyment of the Leased  Property nor
shall this Lease be  terminated  or  canceled  at any time,  except in the event
Lessor  shall  have the  right to  terminate  this  Lease  under  the  terms and
provisions expressly set forth herein; (b) agreeing that it will be bound by all
the terms of this Lease,  perform and  observe all of Lessor's  obligations  set
forth  herein;  and (c) agreeing  that all  proceeds of the  casualty  insurance
described in Article XIII of this Lease and all Awards  described in Article XIV
will be made available to Lessor for  restoration of the Leased  Property as and
to the extent  required by this Lease,  subject  only to  reasonable  regulation
regarding the manner of disbursement and application  thereof.  Lessee agrees to
execute  and  deliver  to Lessor or the  holder of an  Encumbrance  any  written
agreement required by this Article within ten days of written request thereof by
Lessor or such holder of an  Encumbrance.  Lessee agrees to execute from time to
time,  at the  request of Lessor,  an  institutional  investor  of Lessor's or a
Facility Mortgagee, a certificate setting forth any defaults of Lessor hereunder
and the dates  through which Rent has been paid and such other matters as may be
reasonably requested.

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

         If no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessee is
hereby granted the right to extend the Term of this Lease for three  additional,
consecutive  five-year periods  ("Extended Term") for a maximum possible Term of
approximately  30  years,  by  giving  written  notice  to  Lessor  of each such
extension at least 180 days, prior to the expiration of the  then-current  Term;
subject,  however,  to the  provisions  of Section 13.7  hereof.  Lessee may not
exercise its option for more than one  Extended  Term at a time and may exercise
the  option to  extend  only if all of the  Related  Leases  are  simultaneously
extended by Lessee or its  Affiliates.  During each  Extended  Term,  all of the
terms and  conditions  of this Lease  shall  continue  in full force and effect,
except that the Minimum Rent for and during each of the Extended  Terms shall be
the  greater  of (i) the  Fair  Market  Rental  Value on the  first  day of such
Extended Term or (ii) the Minimum Rent in effect  immediately prior to the first
day of such Extended  Term. In any event,  the Minimum Rent shall continue to be
increased  throughout  the Extended  Terms in accordance  with the provisions of
Section 2.1(b) hereof.

                                    GUARANTY
                                    --------

XXXV.1  Guarantee.  In consideration of Lessor's  agreement to fund the Purchase
Amount  for  the  purchase  of the  Leased  Property  pursuant  to the  Purchase
Agreement and in  consideration  of the  execution of this Lease by Lessor,  and
upon the terms and provisions hereof,  Guarantor hereby irrevocably,  absolutely
and  unconditionally  warrants and  guarantees  (the  "Guaranty")  to Lessor the
prompt and full payment and  performance  of all of Lessee's  obligations  under
this Lease (the "Guaranteed Obligations").

XXXV.2  Obligations of Guarantor Upon Default.  Upon the occurrence of any Event
of  Default  under this  Lease,  Guarantor  shall,  upon  demand of Lessor:  (i)
immediately  cure such failure to pay and/or perform the applicable  part of the

unconditional guarantee of payment and performance. Guarantor hereby irrevocably
and  unconditionally  covenants  and  agrees  that  Guarantor  is liable for the
Guaranteed  Obligations as a primary obligor.  Any Guaranteed  Obligation may be

other  Guaranteed  Obligation  hereunder.  Without  notice to  Guarantor  or the
consent of Guarantor,  and without affecting or limiting Guarantor's obligations
hereunder,  Lessor may: (i) grant Lessee  extensions  of time for payment of the
Guaranteed  Obligations  or any part  hereof;  (ii) renew any of the  Guaranteed
Obligations; (iii) grant Lessee extensions of time for performance of agreements
or other  indulgences;  and (iv) with Lessee's written consent,  modify or amend

license (the "License")  which may be revoked by Lessor pursuant to the terms of
Section  7.1, to collect  upon,  but not prior to accrual,  all of the Rents and

license to receive the Rents,  as a trust fund to be applied,  and Lessee hereby
covenants to apply the Rents, to the payment,  satisfaction and discharge of the
Obligations then due, including  specifically,  but without  limitation,  to the
payment of taxes and assessments  upon the Property before payment of penalty or
interest are due thereon,  to the cost of such insurance  then due,  maintenance
and  repairs as may be required by the terms of the  Security  Documents  and in
satisfaction of all  obligations  under the Tenant Leases then due; all prior to
the application by Lessee of the Rents for any other purposes. The License shall
also include the right of Lessee to execute,  deliver,  perform, enforce, alter,
modify,  change or  supplement  the terms of the Tenant Leases and to surrender,
cancel or terminate  such Tenant  Leases  without the prior  written  consent of

future payments of the Rents to Lessor without the necessity for further consent
by Lessee.

Lessor,  on its own or on Lessor's behalf (or in Lessor's name), but at Lessee's

part,  of any of the  Obligations  which is required to be paid or discharged by
Lessee pursuant to the terms of Section 3.1 pursuant to the terms and conditions
of Article XI of the Lease;  provided  that  nothing  contained  herein shall be
construed to permit  Lessee to contest the payment of the rent or any other sums
payable by Lessee to Lessor under the Lease.

                         WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS
                         ------------------------------

         Lessee  hereby  unconditionally  warrants and  represents  to Lessor as
follows:

         4.1 Ownership of Tenant  Leases and the Rents.  Subject to the terms of
the Lease, Lessee has good title to the Tenant Leases not previously transferred
or assigned to Lessor and the Rents and has all


<PAGE>
requisite right,  power and authority to assign such Tenant Leases and the Rents
to Lessor,  and no other person,  firm or  corporation  has any right,  title or
interest therein.

         4.2 No  Default.  Lessee  has duly and  punctually  performed,  all and
singular, the terms,  covenants,  conditions and warranties of the Tenant Leases
on  Lessee's  part to be  kept,  observed  and  performed;  and,  to the best of
Lessee's knowledge, the Tenants thereunder are not in material default of any of
the terms or provisions of the respective Tenant Leases.

         4.3  No   Modification   of  the  Tenant  Leases  or   Anticipation  or
Hypothecation of the Rents.  The Tenant Leases are valid and unmodified,  except
as  indicated  herein,  and  remain in full  force and  effect;  Lessee  has not
previously  sold,  assigned,  transferred,  or pledged the Tenant  Leases or the
Rents,  or any part thereof,  whether now due or hereafter to become due, except
for the sales,  assignments,  transfers,  mortgages and pledges for which Lessee
has heretofore obtained a full release; the Rents now due, or to become due, for
any  periods  subsequent  to the date hereof  have not been  collected  and that
payment thereof has not been anticipated,  waived or released,  discounted,  set
off or  otherwise  discharged  or  compromised;  and Lessee has not received any
funds or deposits  from any Tenant for which credit has not already been made on
account of the accrued Rents.

                                   ARTICLE 5.
                              AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS
                              ---------------------

         Lessee  hereby  unconditionally  covenants  and agrees  with  Lessor as
follows:

         5.1 Performance.  Lessee shall observe, perform and discharge, duly and
punctually, all and singular, the obligations,  terms, covenants, conditions and
warranties  of the Tenant  Leases to be  observed,  performed or  discharged  by
landlord  thereunder;  and Lessee shall  promptly  deliver to Lessor any notices
received with respect to the Tenant  Leases  alleging any failure on the part of
the Lessee to observe, perform and discharge the same.

         5.2  Notification to Tenants.  Upon written  request by Lessor,  Lessee
shall notify and direct,  in writing,  such and every  present or future  Tenant
that any Credit Enhancement delivered to Lessee by such Tenant shall be retained
by Lessee but assigned to Lessor.

         5.3  Enforcement.  Lessee shall enforce or secure in the name of Lessee
the  performance of each and every  obligation,  term,  covenant,  condition and
agreement in the Tenant Leases by any Tenant to be  performed,  and Lessee shall
appear in and defend any action or proceeding arising under, occurring out of or
in any manner  connected  with the Tenant Leases or the  obligations,  duties or
liabilities  of Lessee and any Tenant  thereunder,  and upon  request by Lessor,
Lessee  will do so in the name and on behalf of  Lessor,  but at the  expense of
Lessee,  and  Lessee  shall pay all  costs and  expenses  of  Lessor,  including
reasonable  attorneys'  fees and  disbursements,  in any action or proceeding in
which Lessor may appear.

         5.4 Anticipation or Hypothecation of the Rents. Lessee hereby covenants
and agrees (a) upon and after an Event of Default  hereunder or under any of the
Security  Documents  and  while  the  same  shall  continue,  to give to  Lessor
duplicate  notice  of each  default  by each  Tenant  and  copies of any and all
notices and  communications  received from any Tenant  promptly upon delivery or
receipt  thereof;  (b) to comply  with the terms and  provisions  of each Tenant
Lease; (c) not to assign,  transfer,  pledge, mortgage or otherwise encumber any
Tenant  Lease;  (d) not to  assign,  transfer,  pledge,  mortgage  or  otherwise
encumber any Rents;  (e) not to collect,  accept from any Tenant,  or permit any
Tenant to pay any Rents for more than one month in advance  (whether  in cash or
by evidence of indebtedness);  (f) except in the ordinary course of business and
in accordance  with past  practice and custom,  not to waive,  excuse,  condone,
discount,  set-off,  compromise or in any manner release or discharge any Tenant
of and from any  obligations,  covenants,  conditions  or agreements to be kept,
observed or performed by such Tenant,  under and in accordance with the terms of
the respective Tenant Lease; and (g) not to enter


<PAGE>
into any Tenant Lease or amend,  modify,  extend or renew any Tenant Lease for a
time  period  extending  beyond the term of the  Lease,  without  prior  written
approval of Lessor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

         5.5 Delivery of the Tenant Leases;  Further Acts and  Assurance.  Until
the Obligations secured hereby have been paid in full, performed and discharged,
Lessee  shall  enter into only  leases of the  Property  in a form  approved  in
writing by Lessor and shall upon the written request of Lessor deliver  executed
copies of all existing and all other and future Tenant Leases when executed upon
all or any part of the  Property  and will  transfer  and assign  such other and
future Tenant Leases upon the same terms and conditions as herein contained, and
Lessee hereby covenants and agrees to make, execute and deliver to Lessor,  upon
demand and at any time or times, any and all assignments and other documents and
instruments  which  Lessor may deem  advisable to carry out the true purpose and
intent of this Assignment.

                                EVENTS OF DEFAULT
                                -----------------

         The term "Event of Default",  as used herein, shall mean the occurrence
or  happening,  at any  time and  from  time to time,  of any one or more of the
following:

         6.1 Performance of Obligations. If Lessee shall fail, refuse or neglect
to perform and discharge fully and timely any of its  obligations  hereunder and
such failure is not cured by Lessee  within a period of 30 days after receipt by
Lessee of written  notice  thereof from Lessor,  unless such failure cannot with
due  diligence be cured  within a period of 30 days,  in which case such failure
shall  not be deemed  to  continue  if  Lessee  proceeds  promptly  and with due
diligence to cure the failure and  diligently  completes the curing  thereof (as
soon as reasonably possible).

         6.2 Security  Documents.  The  occurrence of any Event of Default under
and as defined in the Lease or any other of the Security Documents.

                                   ARTICLE 7.
                                    REMEDIES
                                    --------

         7.1  Remedies.  Upon or any time after the  occurrence,  and during the
continuance  thereof,  of an Event of Default hereunder,  Lessor, at its option,
shall have the complete right, power and authority hereunder, then or thereafter
until the Event of Default is cured,  to exercise  and enforce any or all of the
following rights and remedies set out in this Article 7:

         (a) To terminate the License and then and  thereafter,  without  taking
possession  of the  Property,  to the extent  permitted  by law, in Lessee's own
name, to demand,  collect,  receive, sue for, attach and levy the Rents and give
proper  receipts,  releases and acquittances  therefor,  and after deducting all
necessary  and  proper  costs and  expenses  of  operation  and  collection,  as
determined by Lessor,  including  reasonable  attorneys' fees, and apply the net
proceeds  thereof,  together with any funds of Lessee deposited with Lessor,  in
reduction or repayment  of the  Obligations  in such order of priority as Lessor
may, in its sole discretion, determine in accordance with applicable law;

         (b) To declare the Lease in default and, at its option, exercise all of
the  rights and  remedies  contained  in the Lease or any other of the  Security
Documents;

         (c) Without regard to the adequacy of the security, with or without any
action or proceeding through any person or by any agent, or by the trustee under
any deed of trust included among the Security Documents,  or by a receiver to be
appointed by a court of competent  jurisdiction,  and  irrespective  of Lessee's
possession,  then or thereafter to enter upon,  take  possession  of, manage and
operate the  Property or any part  thereof;  make,  modify,  enforce,  cancel or
accept surrender of a Tenant Lease now in effect or


<PAGE>
hereafter  in effect on the Property or any part  thereof;  remove and evict any
Tenant  (subject  to  the  provisions  of  any  non-disturbance  and  attornment
agreement  entered  into by and  between  Lessor and any  Tenant);  increase  or
decrease  the  Rents  under a Tenant  Lease;  decorate,  clean and  repair,  and
otherwise  do any act or  incur  any  cost or  expense  which  Lessor  may  deem
reasonably  necessary  to protect the status and value of the  Property as fully
and to the same extent as Lessee could do if in possession thereof;  and in such
event,  to apply the Rents so collected to the operation  and  management of the
Property,  but in such  order or  priority  as Lessor  shall  deem  proper,  and
including the payment of reasonable  management,  brokerage and attorneys'  fees
and  disbursements,  and payment of the Obligations and to the establishment and
maintenance, without interest, of a reserve for replacements; and

         (d)      Any other remedy available to Lessor at law or in equity.

         7.2 Exculpation of Lessor. The acceptance by Lessor of this Assignment,
with all of the rights,  powers,  privileges and authority created hereby, shall
not,  prior to entry upon and taking  possession  of the Property by Lessor,  be
deemed or  construed  to  constitute  Lessor a "mortgagee  in  possession",  nor
thereafter  or at any time or in any event  obligate  Lessor to take any  action
hereunder  or to expend any money or incur any  expenses or perform or discharge
any  obligation,  duty or  liability  under a  Tenant  Lease  or to  assume  any
obligation  or  responsibility  for any  security  deposits  or  other  deposits
delivered to Lessee by a Tenant and not assigned  and  delivered to Lessor,  nor
shall  Lessor  be liable in any way for any  injury  or  damage  to  persons  or
property  sustained by any person,  firm or corporation in or about the Property
not attributable to the negligence or fault of Lessor, its agents or affiliates.

         7.3      No Waiver or Election of Remedies.

         (a) Waiver.  Neither the  collection  of the Rents and  application  as
provided for in this Assignment nor the entry upon and taking  possession of the
Property  by Lessor  shall be deemed  to cure or waive any Event of  Default  or
waive,  modify or affect any notice of default  under any  Security  Document or
invalidate any act done pursuant to any such notice.  If Lessor shall thereafter
elect to discontinue  the exercise of any such right or remedy  hereunder,  such
right or remedy may be  reasserted  at any time and from time to time  following
any subsequent Event of Default.

         (b)  Election of  Remedies.  The failure of Lessor to assert any of the
terms,  covenants or conditions of this  Assignment for any period of time or at
any time or times  shall not be  construed  or deemed to be a waiver of any such
right,  and nothing herein  contained nor anything done or omitted to be done by
Lessor pursuant to this Assignment shall be deemed to be an election of remedies
or a waiver by Lessor of any of its rights and remedies under any other Security
Document  or under the law.  The right of the Lessor to collect  and enforce the
payment and performance of the Obligations and to enforce any security  therefor
may be  exercised  by the  Lessor  either  prior  to or  simultaneously  with or
subsequent to any action taken hereunder.


<PAGE>
         7.4 Appointment of Attorney-in-Fact.  Upon and following the occurrence
of an Event of Default remaining uncured, Lessee hereby constitutes and appoints
Lessor the true and lawful attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, of Lessee
and in the name,  place and stead of Lessee to demand,  sue for,  attach,  levy,
recover and receive any premium or penalty payable upon the exercise by a Tenant
under a Tenant Lease of a privilege of cancellation  originally provided in such
Tenant Lease and to give proper  receipts,  releases and  acquittances  therefor
and,  after  deducting  expenses of  collection,  to apply the net proceeds as a
credit upon any portion of the Obligations  selected by Lessor,  notwithstanding
the fact that such portion of the Obligations may not then be due and payable or
that such portion of the Obligations is otherwise adequately secured; and Lessee
does  hereby  authorize  and direct any such Tenant to deliver  such  payment to
Lessor in  accordance  with this  Assignment,  and Lessee  hereby  ratifies  and
confirms  that  Lessor,  as  attorney-in-fact,  shall  do or cause to be done by
virtue of the powers granted hereby. Under the circumstances referred to in this
Section 7.4, the foregoing  appointment is irrevocable and continuing,  and such
rights,  powers and privileges shall be exclusive in Lessor,  its successors and
assigns, so long as any part of the Obligations secured hereby remain unpaid and
undischarged.

                                   ARTICLE 8.
                                  MISCELLANEOUS
                                  -------------

         8.1 Performance at Lessee's Expense. The cost and expense of performing
or  complying  with any and all of the  Obligations  shall be  borne  solely  by
Lessee,  and no portion of such cost and expense shall be, in any way and to any
extent credited against any installment on or portion of the Obligations.

         8.2  Survival of  Obligations.  Each and all of the  Obligations  shall
survive  that  execution  and  delivery  of  the  Security   Documents  and  the
consummation of the transaction  called for therein,  and shall continue in full
force and effect  until the  Obligations  shall have been paid and  performed in
full.

         8.3  Further  Assurances.  Lessee,  upon the  request of  Lessor,  will
execute,  acknowledge,  deliver and record and/or file such further  instruments
and do such further acts as may be  necessary,  desirable or proper to carry out
more  effectively  the purpose of the Security  Documents  and to subject to the
liens and security  interests thereof any property intended by the terms thereof
to be covered  thereby,  including  specifically,  but without  limitation,  any
renewals, substitutions, replacements, modifications or amendments to the Tenant
Leases.

         8.4 Recording and Filing.  Lessee will cause the Security Documents and
all  amendments  and  supplements  thereto  and  substitutions  therefor  to  be
recorded,  filed,  re-recorded  and refiled in such manner and in such places as
Lessor  shall  reasonably  request,  and will pay all  such  recording,  filing,
re-recording and refiling taxes, fees and other charges.

         8.5 Notices. Any notices,  demands,  approvals and other communications
provided  for in this  Assignment  shall be in writing and shall be delivered by

         8.6 Successors and Assigns.  All of the terms of the Security Documents
shall apply to, be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties  hereto,
their  successors,  assigns,  heirs  and  legal  representatives,  and all other
persons claiming by, through or under them.


<PAGE>
         8.7 No Waiver;  Severability.  Any failure by Lessor to insist,  or any
election by Lessor not to insist,  upon strict  performance  by Lessee of any of
the terms,  provisions  or  conditions  of the Security  Documents  shall not be
deemed to be a waiver  of same or any  other  terms,  provisions  or  conditions
thereof,  and  Lessor  shall have the right at any time or times  thereafter  to
insist upon strict  performance by Lessee of any and all such terms,  provisions
and  conditions.  The  Security  Documents  are  intended  to  be  performed  in
accordance  with,  and only to the extent  permitted  by, all  applicable  legal
requirements.  If  any  provision  of  any  of  the  Security  Documents  or the
application  thereof to any person or circumstance  shall, for any reason and to
any extent,  be invalid or  unenforceable,  then  neither the  remainder  of the
instrument  in which such  provision to other persons or  circumstances  nor the
other  instruments  referred to herein  shall be affected  thereby,  but rather,
shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.

         8.8 Entire  Agreement and  Modification.  This Assignment  contains the
entire  agreement  between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and
thereof,  and all prior  agreements  relative  thereto  which are not  contained
herein or therein are terminated.  This Assignment may not be amended,  revised,
waived,  discharged,  released  or  terminated  orally,  but  only by a  written
instrument or instruments executed by the party against which enforcement of the
amendment,  revision, waiver, discharge, release or termination is asserted. Any
alleged amendment,  revision, waiver, discharge, release or termination which is
not so documented shall not be effective as to any party.

         8.9  Counterparts.  This  Assignment  may be  executed in any number of
counterparts,  each of which  shall be an  original,  but all of which  together
shall constitute but one instrument.

         8.10  Applicable  Law. The Security  Documents shall be governed by and
construed  according  to the laws of the State of  Alabama  from time to time in
effect  except to the extent  preempted  by United  States  federal  law.  It is
expressly  stipulated  and  agreed to be the  intent of Lessee and Lessor at all
times to comply with  applicable  law now or  hereafter  governing  any interest
payable under the Lease,  including any notes  evidencing the Obligations or any
part thereof.  If the  applicable  law is ever  revised,  repealed or judicially
interpreted  so as to render  usurious  any  amount  called for under any of the
Security  Documents,  or if Lessor's  exercise of the option to  accelerate  the
maturity of the  Obligations  or if any  prepayment by Lessee  results in Lessee
having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by law, then it is Lessee's
and Lessor's  express  intent that all excess amounts  theretofore  collected by
Lessor be  credited  on the  principal  balance of the  Obligations  (or, if the
Obligations have been paid in full,  refunded to Lessee),  and the provisions of
the Security Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter
collectible  hereunder  and  thereunder  reduced,  so as to comply with the then
applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise
called for hereunder or thereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lessor
for the use,  forbearance or detention of the  Obligations  shall, to the extent
permitted  by  applicable  law, be  amortized,  prorated,  allocated  and spread
throughout  the full term of the  Obligations  until payment in full so that the
rate or amount of  interest on account of such  Obligations  does not exceed the
usury ceiling from time to time in effect and  applicable to the  Obligations so
long as debt is outstanding thereunder.

         8.11 Headings.  The Article,  Paragraph and  Subparagraph  entitlements
hereof are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall in no way alter,
modify  or  define,  or be  used in  construing,  the  text  of  such  Articles,
Paragraphs or Subparagraphs.

         EXECUTED as of the date first above written,  to be effective as of the
date first above written.

                  SUBJECT, HOWEVER, to the easements,  encumbrances,  covenants,
conditions and  restrictions  and other matters which affect the Leased Property
as of the  date  hereof  or the  Commencement  Date  or  created  thereafter  as

(2) the Extended  Terms provided for in Article XIX unless this Lease is earlier
terminated as hereinafter provided. Following the Commencement Date, the parties
shall  execute an amendment  to this Lease in  substantially  the form  attached
hereto as Exhibit C to confirm certain matters,  including the Commencement Date
of this Lease and the  Minimum  Rent  determined  pursuant to Section 3.1 below.
Upon any change in the Minimum Rent in accordance with the provisions of Section
3.1 below or otherwise pursuant to this Lease, at Lessor's request,  the parties
shall similarly  execute an amendment to this Lease confirming such matters.  In

Lease,  and (y) the extension of the Fixed Term of this Lease to be  coterminous

Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  the  failure of Lessor to  prepare  and/or the
failure of Lessee to so execute and deliver any such amendment shall not, absent
manifest  error,  affect Lessor's  determination  of the matters to be confirmed
thereby.

                  Facility:  The current  40-unit,  approximately  21,000 square
foot assisted-living care facility being operated on the Leased Property.

                  Facility Group Leases: Those certain other leases described on
Exhibit E attached hereto and  incorporated  herein by this reference,  together
with all other leases hereinafter entered into between Lessor or an Affiliate of
Lessor and Lessee or an Affiliate of Lessee which recite that they are "Facility
Group Leases".  This Lease shall be deemed a "Facility Group Lease" for purposes
of each other Facility Group Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following
 shall apply:

                           (i) If the Leased Property is transferred or conveyed
         by Lessor to any Person  (other than an Affiliate of Lessor) this Lease
         shall be deemed a  "Facility  Group  Lease"  only with  respect to each
         other  Facility  Group Lease which is also  transferred  or conveyed by
         Lessor  or an  Affiliate  of  Lessor  to the  same  Person  and/or  its
         Affiliate(s); and

                           (ii) If the "Leased  Property" of any other  Facility
         Group Lease is  transferred  or conveyed by Lessor or any  Affiliate of
         Lessor to any Person  (other  than Lessor or an  Affiliate  of Lessor),
         such Facility Group Lease shall be deemed a "Facility Group Lease" with
         respect to this Lease only to the extent  that the Leased  Property  is
         also   transferred   or  conveyed   to  the  same  Person   and/or  its
         Affiliate(s).

                  Facility Mortgage:  As defined in Article XIII.
                  -----------------
                  Facility Mortgagee:  As defined in Article XIII.
                  ------------------
                  Facility Operating Deficiency:  A deficiency in the conduct of
the operation of the Facility which, in the reasonable  determination of Lessor,
if not corrected  within a reasonable  time,  would  jeopardize  the  Facility's
licensure or  certification  under  government  reimbursement  programs,  to the
extent applicable.

                  Fair Market Rental: The fair market rental value of the Leased
Property,  or  applicable  portion  thereof,  including  any periodic  increases
therein,  determined in accordance  with the appraisal  procedures  set forth in
Articles  XXXIV.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  if Lessee shall enter into a
Master Sublease in accordance with the applicable  provisions of Article XXIV in
a bona fide, arms-length transaction with any Person (other than an Affiliate of
Lessee),  then the Fair Market Rental of the Leased Property,  or the applicable
portion  thereof,  for purposes of Section  24.2(b)  shall be the rent  (however
denominated and paid) payable under such Master  Sublease,  unless in connection
with the  transaction(s)  as to which such Master  Sublease is a part (including
any  step,  tiered  or  indirect  transactions),  additional  or  other  rent or
consideration is payable to Lessee or any Affiliate of Lessee in addition to the
rent payable under the Master Sublease,  in which event the appraisers appointed
pursuant to the appraisal  procedures set forth in Article XXXIV shall determine
whether the rent  payable to Lessee or any  Affiliate of Lessee under the Master
Sublease is reasonably related to the Fair Market Rental of the Leased Property,
or applicable portion thereof, as also determined


                                       6
<PAGE>
pursuant to this  definition  and the appraisal  procedures set forth in Article
XXXIV. If so reasonably  related,  the Fair Market Rental of the Leased Property
for  purposes of Section  24.2(b)  shall be deemed the rent  payable  under such
Master Sublease.  Otherwise,  the Fair Market Rental of the Leased Property,  or
applicable  portion  thereof,  for  purposes of such  Section  24.2(b)  shall be
determined pursuant to this definition and the appraisal procedures set forth in
Article  XXXIV,  but  in  no  event  greater  than  the  total  rent  and  other
consideration  payable to Lessee or any Affiliate of Lessee in  connection  with
such  Master  Sublease  and the other  transaction(s)  as to which  such  Master
Sublease is a part. As used in this  definition,  the term "rent" shall mean all
consideration paid or given, directly or indirectly,  to Lessee or any Affiliate
of Lessee under the Master Sublease and/or in connection with the transaction(s)
or to which such Master Sublease is a part. For purposes of this definition, the
definition  of "Fair  Market  Value"  below and the  provisions  of Section 24.8
below, the term "consideration" shall mean and include money, services, property
and  other  things  of  value,  including  payment  of  costs,  cancellation  of
indebtedness,  discounts,  rebates, barter and the like. For purposes of Section
24.2 below and the  payment of  "Transfer  Consideration"  to Lessor as provided
therein,  if any  rent or  other  consideration  is  payable  to  Lessee  or any
Affiliate  of Lessee in a form other  than cash,  Lessor  shall be  entitled  to
receive the applicable "Transfer Consideration" on account thereof in cash based
upon the fair market value of such consideration.

                  Fair  Market  Value:  The  fair  market  value  of the  Leased
Property, and all Capital Additions, determined in accordance with the appraisal
procedures  set forth in Article  XXXIV or Section  35.1,  as  applicable.  Fair
Market  Value shall be the higher  value  obtained  by assuming  that the Leased
Property is unencumbered by this Lease or encumbered by this Lease.  Further, in
determining  Fair Market Value the  positive or negative  effect on the value of
the Leased Property  attributable to the interest rate,  amortization  schedule,
maturity  date,  prepayment  penalty  and  other  terms  and  conditions  of any
encumbrance  which  will not be removed at or prior to the date as of which such
Fair Market Value  determination is being made shall be taken into account.  The
Leased  Property  shall be valued  at its  highest  and best use which  shall be
presumed to be as a  fully-permitted  Facility  operated in accordance  with the
provisions  of this Lease.  Fair market value of the Leased  Property  shall not
include "going concern" or "business  enterprise" value  attributable to factors
other than the  highest and best use of the Leased  Property.  In  addition,  in
determining   Fair  Market  Value,  the  negative  value  of  (a)  any  deferred
maintenance or other items of repair or replacement of the Leased Property,  (b)
any  then  current  or  prior  licensure  or  certification   violations  and/or
admissions  holds and (c) any other  breach or  failure  of Lessee to perform or
observe its obligations  hereunder shall not be taken into account;  rather, the
Leased Property,  and every part thereof, shall be deemed to be in the condition
required by this Lease  (i.e.,  good order and  repair) and Lessee  shall at all
times be deemed to have  operated  the Facility in  compliance  with and to have
performed all  obligations of the Lessee under this Lease.  Notwithstanding  the
foregoing,  in the event of a bona fide,  arms-length  Transfer  with any Person
(other  than an  Affiliate  of  Lessee  and  other  than  pursuant  to a  Master
Sublease),  the Fair Market Value of the Leased Property for purposes of Section
24.2(c) below shall be the gross  consideration  (as defined  above)  payable to
Lessee or any Affiliate of Lessee in connection  with such Transfer for Lessee's
leasehold  interest in the Leased Property  created under this Lease,  unless in
connection  with  the  transaction(s)  as  to  which  such  Transfer  is a  part
(including any step, tiered or indirect transactions), additional or other gross
consideration is payable to Lessee or any Affiliate of Lessee in addition to the
gross  consideration  allocated by the parties thereto to the leasehold interest
created  hereby,  in  which  event  the  appraisers  appointed  pursuant  to the
appraisal  procedures  set forth in Article  XXXIV shall  determine  whether the
portion of such gross consideration payable to Lessee or any Affiliate of Lessee
in such  transaction(s) and allocated for the leasehold estate created hereby as
initially determined by the parties thereto is


                                       7
<PAGE>
 reasonably  related to the Fair Market  Value of the Leased  Property,  as also
determined pursuant to this definition and the appraisal procedures set forth in
such  Article  XXXIV.  If so  reasonably  related,  the Fair Market Value of the
Leased Property for purposes of such Section 24.2(c) shall be deemed the portion
of the gross  consideration  so allocated by the  parties.  Otherwise,  the Fair
Market Value of the Leased  Property for purposes of such Section  24.2(c) shall
be determined pursuant to this definition and the appraisal procedures set forth
in such Article  XXXIV,  but in no event  greater  than the gross  consideration
payable to Lessee or any  Affiliate of Lessee in  connection  with such Transfer
and the other transaction(s) as to which such Transfer is a part.

a Commercial Occupancy Arrangement,  i.e., the Gross Revenues generated from the
operations  conducted  on or from  such  subleased,  licensed  or other  used or
occupied portion of the Leased Property shall be included  directly in the Gross

Property, provided that the Fair Market Value of the Leased Property taking into
account  the  occurrence  of such  Event of  Default  is less  than the  Minimum
Repurchase  Price.  In determining  the Fair Market Value of the Leased Property
following  an Event of Default,  the  appraisers  appointed  pursuant to Article
XXXIV shall  determine such Fair Market Value for the Leased Property (i) taking
into  account such Event of Default and (ii) as though such Event of Default had
not occurred. Notwithstanding that Lessor and Lessee have specifically defined a
"Put Event," in no event shall the same be deemed to derogate the materiality of
an Event of Default as provided  in Section  16.1 below  (including  an Event of
Default  which does not  constitute  a Put Event) or  otherwise  limit  Lessor's
rights and remedies upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,  including those
rights and remedies set forth in Sections 16.2, 16.3 and 16.4 below.

                  Unavoidable Delays: To the extent  specifically  applicable to
any provision of this Lease, delays resulting from a cause beyond the reasonable
control of a party  responsible  for  performing  an obligation  hereunder.  For
purposes of this definition,  cause shall be beyond the reasonable  control of a
party  when such cause  would  affect any  person  similarly  situated  (such as
strike,  lockout,  power failure, act of God,  governmental  restriction,  enemy
action, civil commotion,  fire or unavoidable  casualty) but shall not be beyond
the  reasonable  control  of such  party when  peculiar  to such party  (such as
financial inability,  lack of funds or failure to order long lead time materials
sufficiently  in advance).  To the extent  applicable to a particular  provision
herein,  in the event of any  occurrence  which a party  believes  constitutes a
cause  beyond  the  reasonable  control  of such  party and which will delay any
performance by such party hereunder, such party shall promptly in writing notify
the other  party of the  occurrence  and nature of such cause,  the  anticipated
period of delay and the steps being taken by such party to mitigate  the effects
of such delay.

                  Unsuitable for Its Primary  Intended Use: A state or condition
of the Facility such that by reason of damage or destruction or Condemnation, in

a commercially practicable basis for its Primary Intended Use.

                                  ARTICLE III.
                                  ------------

                  3.1 Rent.  Lessee  will pay to  Lessor in lawful  money of the
United  States of America  which shall be legal tender for the payment of public
and  private  debts,  without  offset  or  deduction,   the  amounts  set  forth
hereinafter  as Minimum Rent and  Additional  Rent during the Term.  Payments of
Minimum  Rent  shall  be made  by a  prearranged  payment  deposit  through  the
Electronic  Automated  Clearing  House  Network  ("ACH")  initiated by Lessee to
Lessor's  account at an ACH member bank on or before the fifth (5th) day of each
calendar month.  Payments of Additional  Rent shall be made at Lessor's  address
set forth in Article  XXXIII or at such other  place or to such other  Person as
Lessor from time to time may designate in writing.

                  3.1.1  Minimum  Rent.  Subject  to upward  adjustment(s)  with
respect to the Capital Addition Project funded by Lessor as described in Section
10.3 below, for the period from the Commencement  Date through the expiration of
the Fixed Term, Lessee shall pay to Lessor "Minimum Rent" monthly, in advance on
or before the first day of each  calendar  month,  an amount equal to $18,764.17
(i.e., one-twelfth (1/12) of the product of (i) the Lease


                                       13
<PAGE>
Rate times (ii) the Minimum  Repurchase Price as of the Commencement  Date). The
first monthly payment of Minimum Rent shall be payable on the Commencement  Date
(prorated as to any partial  calendar month at the beginning of the Term).  Such
monthly  Minimum  Rent shall be  increased  from time to time on the date of any
payment or funding by Lessor on account of the Capital Addition Project pursuant
to the provisions of Section 10.3 by one-twelfth  (1/12th) of the product of (a)
the amount of the particular  payment or funding by Lessor,  times (b) Three and
Twenty-Five  Hundredths  Percent  (3.25%) above the ten-year U.S.  Treasury Note
Rate,  published  in the Wall  Street  Journal  on the date of such  payment  or
funding by Lessor and quoting the rate for the  immediately  prior Business Day.
If the  ten-year  U.S.  Treasury  Note  Rate is  discontinued  prior to any such
payment or funding by Lessor,  then such calculation  shall be made instead to a
substitute  rate  selected by Lessor that is  comparable  with the ten-year U.S.
Treasury Note rate, and such  substitute rate shall be compared to ten-year U.S.
Treasury Note rate,  published in the Wall Street Journal as of the date hereof.
Similarly, if the Wall Street Journal is discontinued,  a substitute publication
selected by Lessor  shall be used.  Such  monthly  Minimum  Rent payable for any
month(s)  during  which an increase in the Minimum  Rent occurs by reason of any
payments or funding by Lessor on account of the Capital Addition Project,  shall
be prorated based upon the number of days for which such adjusted rental amounts
apply. From time to time at Lessor's request, Lessor and Lessee shall enter into
an  amendment  of this  Lease  in form  acceptable  to  Lessor  to  reflect  the
adjustment in the monthly  Minimum Rent payable  hereunder by reason of any such
payments  or  fundings  by Lessor on account of the  Capital  Addition  Project.
Failure  of Lessee to so  execute  and  deliver  any such  amendment  shall not,
however, affect the determination of the monthly Minimum Rent payable hereunder.
Minimum Rent for the Extended  Terms,  if any, shall be determined in accordance
with the provisions of Article XIX.

                  3.1.2 Additional Rent. In addition to the Minimum Rent, Lessee
shall,  commencing  with (x) the first (1st)  Quarter of the second  (2nd) Lease
Year of the Fixed Term and  continuing  through the expiration of the Fixed Term
and (y) the first (1st)  Quarter of the second (2nd) Lease Year of each Extended
Term, if any, and continuing  through the expiration of the applicable  Extended
Term, pay to Lessor annual "Additional Rent" in an amount equal to the CPI Rent;
provided,  however,  that in no  event  shall  the sum of the  Minimum  Rent and
Additional  Rent paid or payable  by Lessee  for (1) any Lease  Year  during the
Fixed Term  commencing with the second (2nd) Lease year of the Fixed Term or (2)
any Lease Year during the applicable  Extended Term, if any, commencing with any
second (2nd) Lease Year of such Extended Term, be:

                       (a) less than the lesser of (i) One  Hundred  Two Percent
(102%) of the sum of the  Minimum  Rent and  Additional  Rent paid or payable by
Lessee for the immediately  prior Lease Year of the applicable Term (taking into
account the annualized  increase in the Minimum Rent resulting from any payments
or funding by Lessor on account of the  Capital  Addition  Project  pursuant  to
Section 10.3) and (ii) the sum of (A) the Minimum Rent and Additional  Rent paid
or payable for the  immediately  prior Lease Year,  plus (B) One Hundred Percent
(100%) of Incremental Gross Revenues; nor

                       (b) more than One Hundred Five Percent  (105%) of the sum
of  Minimum  Rent  and  Additional  Rent  paid  or  payable  by  Lessee  for the
immediately  prior Lease Year of the  applicable  Term  (taking into account the
annualized  increase in the Minimum Rent  resulting  from any  payments  made by
Lessor on account of the Capital Addition Project pursuant to Section 10.3).

                  3.2  Quarterly  Calculation  and Payment of  Additional  Rent;
Annual  Reconciliation.

<PAGE>
                  3.2.1  Lessee  shall   calculate  and  pay   Additional   Rent
quarterly, in arrears, for the portion of the entire Lease Year, on a cumulative
basis,  up to the  end  of the  Quarter  then  most  recently  ended,  less  the
Additional Rent already paid and attributable to such Lease Year. If at the time
any calculation on account of Additional Rent is to be made the applicable Gross
Revenues  are not yet  available  (if  applicable)  Lessee  shall  use its  best
estimate of the applicable Gross Revenues.  Each quarterly payment of Additional
Rent  shall be  delivered  to Lessor,  together  with an  Officer's  Certificate
setting forth the calculation thereof, on or before the last Business Day of the
calendar month immediately following the end of the corresponding Quarter.

                  3.2.2  Within  ninety  (90) days  after the end of each  Lease
Year, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor either (a) an Officer's Certificate setting
forth the Gross  Revenues  for such Lease Year or (b) an  Officer's  Certificate
stating that  Incremental  Gross Revenues for such Lease Year exceed Two Percent
(2%) of the sum of Minimum  Rent and  Additional  Rent paid or payable by Lessee
for the  immediately  prior  Lease  Year.  Following  receipt  by Lessor of such
Certificate, Lessor shall, if applicable, determine the Additional Rent for such
Lease Year based upon Gross Revenues and give Lessee notice of the same together
with  the  calculations  upon  which  the  Additional  Rent was  based.  If such
Additional  Rent based  upon Gross  Revenues  exceeds  the sum of the  quarterly
payments of Additional Rent previously paid by Lessee with respect to such Lease
Year,  Lessee shall forthwith pay such deficiency to Lessor.  If such Additional
Rent  based  upon  Gross  Revenues  for such  Lease Year is less than the amount
previously  paid by Lessee  with  respect  thereto,  Lessor  shall,  at Lessee's
option,  either  (i)  remit  to  Lessee  its  check in an  amount  equal to such
difference,  or (ii) credit such  difference  against the quarterly  payments of
Additional Rent next coming due.

                  3.2.3 Any difference  between the annual  Additional  Rent for
any Lease Year as shown in said  Officer's  Certificate  and the total amount of
quarterly  payments for such Lease Year  previously  paid by Lessee,  whether in
favor of Lessor or  Lessee,  shall  bear  interest  at a rate  equal to the rate
payable on 90-day U.S.  Treasury Bills as of the last Business Day of such Lease
Year until the amount of such difference shall be paid or otherwise discharged.

                  3.2.4 If the expiration or earlier  termination of the Term is
a day  other  than the last day of a Lease  Year,  then the  amount  of the last
quarterly  installment of Additional Rent shall be paid pro rata on the basis of
the actual number of days in such Lease Year.

                  3.2.5 As soon as  practicable  after the expiration or earlier
termination of the Term, a final reconciliation of Additional Rent shall be made
taking  into  account,   among  other  relevant   adjustments,   any  unresolved
contractual  allowances  which relate to Gross  Revenues  accrued  prior to such
expiration or  termination;  provided that if the final  reconciliation  has not
been made within six (6) months of such expiration or termination,  then a final
reconciliation  shall  be made at that  time  based  on all  available  relevant
information,  including  Lessee's  good faith best estimate of the amount of any
unresolved contractual allowances.

                  3.3 Confirmation of Gross Revenues.  Lessee shall utilize,  or
cause to be utilized, an accounting system for the Leased Property in accordance
with its usual and customary  practices  and in accordance  with GAAP which will
accurately  record all Gross  Revenues and Lessee shall retain for at least five
(5) years after the expiration of each Lease Year  reasonably  adequate  records
conforming to such  accounting  system showing all Gross Revenues for such Lease
Year. Lessor, at its own expense except as provided hereinbelow,


                                       15
<PAGE>
shall  have the right  from time to time (but in no event more than one time per
Lease Year or partial  Lease Year) by its  accountants  or  representatives,  to
review  and/or  audit the  information  set forth in the  Officer's  Certificate
referred to in Section 3.2(a) and in connection with such review and/or audit to
examine  Lessee's  records with respect thereto  (including  supporting data and
sales tax returns)  subject to any  prohibitions or limitations on disclosure of
any such data under  applicable  law or  regulations  including any duly enacted
"Patients'  Bill of Rights" or similar  legislation,  or as may be  necessary to
preserve  the  confidentiality  of the  Facility-patient  relationship  and  the
physician-patient  privilege.  If any  such  review  and/or  audit  discloses  a
deficiency in the payment of Additional Rent on account thereof (if applicable),
Lessee shall forthwith pay to Lessor the amount of the deficiency  together with
interest thereon at the Overdue Rate compounded  monthly from the date when said
payment should have been made to the date of payment thereof. If any such review
and/or audit discloses that the Gross Revenues  actually  received by Lessee for
any Lease Year exceed  those  reported by Lessee by more than Two Percent  (2%),
Lessee  shall  pay the  costs  of  such  review  and/or  audit  (whether  or not
Additional  Rent is based  upon Gross  Revenues).  Any  proprietary  information
obtained  by Lessor  pursuant to such  review  and/or  audit shall be treated as
confidential,   except  that  such   information  may,  subject  to  appropriate
confidentiality safeguards, be used in any litigation or arbitration proceedings
between the parties or disclosed to prospective lenders or purchasers.

                  3.4  Additional  Charges.  In addition to the Minimum Rent and
Additional  Rent, (i) Lessee shall,  subject to the provisions of Article XII of
this  Lease,  also  pay and  discharge  as and when due and  payable  all  other
amounts, liabilities, obligations and Impositions which Lessee assumes or agrees
to pay  under  this  Lease  prior to the date on which  such  items  may be paid
without  interest,  fine,  penalty  or  forfeiture  or such other date as may be
specified  in this  Lease;  and (ii) in the event of any  failure on the part of
Lessee to pay any of those items  referred to in clause (i) above,  Lessee shall
also promptly pay and discharge every fine, penalty, interest and cost which may
be added for non-payment or late payment of such items (the items referred to in
clauses  (i) and  (ii)  above  being  referred  to  herein  collectively  as the
"Additional Charges").

                  3.5 Late Payment of RentLate.  LESSEE HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT
LATE  PAYMENT BY LESSEE TO LESSOR OF RENT WILL CAUSE  LESSOR TO INCUR  COSTS NOT
CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER, THE EXACT AMOUNT OF WHICH IS PRESENTLY ANTICIPATED TO BE
EXTREMELY  DIFFICULT  TO  ASCERTAIN.  SUCH  COSTS  MAY  INCLUDE  PROCESSING  AND
ACCOUNTING  CHARGES AND LATE CHARGES WHICH MAY BE IMPOSED ON LESSOR BY THE TERMS
OF ANY LOAN  AGREEMENT  AND OTHER  EXPENSES OF A SIMILAR OR  DISSIMILAR  NATURE.
ACCORDINGLY, IF ANY INSTALLMENT OF RENT OTHER THAN ADDITIONAL CHARGES PAYABLE TO
A PERSON OTHER THAN LESSOR SHALL NOT BE PAID WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER
ITS DUE DATE, LESSEE WILL PAY LESSOR ON DEMAND A LATE CHARGE EQUAL TO THE LESSER
OF (I) THREE PERCENT (3%) OF THE AMOUNT OF SUCH  INSTALLMENT OR (II) THE MAXIMUM
AMOUNT  PERMITTED BY LAW. THE PARTIES  AGREE THAT THIS LATE CHARGE  REPRESENTS A
FAIR AND  REASONABLE  ESTIMATE  OF THE COSTS THAT LESSOR WILL INCUR BY REASON OF
LATE PAYMENT BY LESSEE.  THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT SUCH LATE CHARGE IS RENT
AND  NOT  INTEREST  AND  SUCH   ASSESSMENT  DOES  NOT  CONSTITUTE  A  LENDER  OR
BORROWER/CREDITOR  RELATIONSHIP  BETWEEN  LESSOR AND LESSEE.  IN  ADDITION,  THE
AMOUNT  UNPAID,  INCLUDING ANY LATE CHARGES,  SHALL BEAR INTEREST AT THE OVERDUE
RATE  COMPOUNDED  MONTHLY FROM THE DUE DATE OF SUCH  INSTALLMENT  TO THE DATE OF
PAYMENT  THEREOF,  AND LESSEE SHALL PAY SUCH  INTEREST TO LESSOR ON DEMAND.  THE
PAYMENT OF SUCH LATE CHARGE OR SUCH INTEREST SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE WAIVER OF, NOR
EXCUSE OR CURE, ANY DEFAULT UNDER THIS LEASE, NOR PREVENT LESSOR FROM EXERCISING
ANY OTHER RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO LESSOR.

what is commonly  referred to as a "net,  net,  net" or "triple net" lease.  The
Rent shall be paid  absolutely net to Lessor,  so that this Lease shall yield to
Lessor the full amount of the installments of Minimum Rent,  Additional Rent and
Additional Charges throughout the Term.

                  4.1      Impositions.

                           4.1.1.  Subject to Article XII  relating to permitted
contests,  Lessee  shall pay, or cause to be paid,  all  Impositions  before any
fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added for non-payment.  Lessee shall make
such payments directly to the taxing  authorities  where feasible,  and promptly
furnish  to Lessor  copies of  official  receipts  or other  satisfactory  proof
evidencing  such  payments.  Except as  provided  in the last  sentence  of this
Section 4.1.1 and in Section 4.1.7 below, Lessee's obligation to pay Impositions
shall be absolutely fixed upon the date such Impositions  become a lien upon the
Leased Property or any part thereof. If any Imposition may, at the option of the
taxpayer, lawfully be paid in installments, whether or not interest shall accrue
on the unpaid  balance  of such  Imposition,  Lessee  may pay the same,  and any
accrued  interest on the unpaid balance of such  Imposition,  in installments as
the same respectively become due and before any fine, penalty,  premium, further
interest  or cost may be added  thereto.  In such  event,  Lessee  shall only be
responsible  for those  installments  on account of such  Impositions  which are
assessed during the Term.

                           4.1.2 Lessor  shall  prepare and file all tax returns
and reports as may be required by Legal  Requirements  with  respect to Lessor's
net income,  gross  receipts,  franchise  taxes and taxes on its capital  stock.
Lessee shall  prepare and file all tax returns and reports as may be required by
Legal Requirements with respect to Lessee or the Leased Property.

                           4.1.3 Any  refund due from any  taxing  authority  in
respect of any  Imposition  paid by Lessee  shall be paid over to or retained by
Lessee if no Event of Default shall have occurred  hereunder and be  continuing.
Any other  refund  shall be paid  over to or  retained  by Lessor to offset  any
amounts payable by Lessee to Lessor hereunder.

                           4.1.4 Lessor and Lessee  shall,  upon the  reasonable
request of the other,  provide such data as is  maintained  by the party to whom
the request is made with  respect to the Leased  Property  as may be  reasonably
necessary to prepare any required  returns and reports.  If any property covered
by this Lease is classified as personal property for tax purposes,  Lessee shall
file all  personal  property  tax  returns in such  jurisdictions  where it must
legally so file. Lessor, to the extent it possesses the same, and Lessee, to the
extent it possesses the same, shall provide the other party, upon request,  with
cost and depreciation  records  necessary for filing returns for any property so
classified  as  personal  property.  Where  Lessor is legally  required  to file
personal  property  tax returns and to the extent  practicable,  Lessee shall be
provided with copies of assessment  notices  indicating a value in excess of the
reported value in sufficient time for Lessee to file a protest.

                           4.1.5 Lessee may, upon notice to Lessor,  at Lessee's
option and at Lessee's sole cost and expense, protest, appeal, or institute such
other  proceedings as Lessee may deem  appropriate to effect a reduction of real
estate or  personal  property  assessments  and Lessor,  at Lessee's  expense as
aforesaid,  shall reasonably  cooperate with Lessee in such protest,  appeal, or
other action but at no cost or expense to Lessor.  Billings for reimbursement by
Lessee  to  Lessor  of  personal  property  or  real  property  taxes  shall  be
accompanied by copies of a bill therefor and payments thereof which identify the
personal property or real property with respect to which such payments are made.

                           4.1.6  Lessor  shall give prompt  notice to Lessee of
all Impositions  payable by Lessee hereunder of which Lessor has knowledge,  but
Lessor's  failure  to give any such  notice  shall in no way  diminish  Lessee's
obligations hereunder to pay such Impositions.

                           4.1.7   Impositions   imposed   in   respect  of  the
tax-fiscal  period  during  which  the Term  terminates  shall be  adjusted  and
prorated  between Lessor and Lessee,  whether or not such  Imposition is imposed
before or after such termination.

                  4.2  Utilities.  Lessee  shall  pay or  cause  to be paid  all
charges for electricity,  power, gas, oil, water and other utilities used in the
Leased  Property  and all Capital  Additions  thereto.  Lessee shall also pay or
reimburse  Lessor for all costs and expenses of any kind whatsoever which at any
time with respect to the Term hereof may be imposed  against Lessor by reason of
any of the  covenants,  conditions  and/or  restrictions  affecting  the  Leased
Property or any portion thereof, or with respect to easements, licenses or other
rights  over,  across or with respect to any  adjacent or other  property  which
benefits  the  Leased  Property,  including  any  and  all  costs  and  expenses
associated  with any utility,  drainage and parking  easements which were (a) in
effect  as of the  Commencement  Date,  (ii)  imposed  upon the Land  after  the
Commencement  Date in accordance with the terms of this Lease or (iii) otherwise
consented to in writing by Lessee.

                  4.3  Insurance.  Lessee  shall  pay or  cause  to be paid  all
premiums  for  the  insurance  coverage  required  to be  maintained  by  Lessee
hereunder.

                  4.4 Impound Account.  If Lessee,  at any time during the Term,
does not timely make payment of any Impositions or insurance  premiums  required
pursuant to Section 4.1 or Section 4.3, Lessor may, at any time  thereafter,  at
its  option to be  exercised  by thirty  (30)  days'  written  notice to Lessee,
require Lessee to deposit, at the time of any payment of Minimum Rent, an amount
equal to  one-twelfth  of Lessee's  estimated  annual  taxes,  of every kind and
nature,  required pursuant to Section 4.1 plus one-twelfth of Lessee's estimated
annual  insurance  premiums  required  pursuant  to Section  4.3 into an impound
account as directed by Lessor.  Such amounts  shall be applied to the payment of
the obligations in respect of which said amounts were deposited in such order of
priority as Lessor shall  determine,  on or before the respective dates on which
the same or any of them would become delinquent.  The cost of administering such
impound  account  shall be paid by Lessee.  Nothing in this Section 4.4 shall be
deemed to affect any right or remedy of Lessor hereunder.

                  4.5 Tax Service.  If, on two (2) or more occasions  during the
Term, Lessee fails to provide Lessor with reasonable documentation demonstrating
that Impositions imposed upon the Leased Property have been paid within ten (10)
days after  written  request  therefor by Lessor,  then if  requested by Lessor,
Lessee  shall,  at its sole  cost and  expense,  engage  the  services  of a tax
reporting  company,  to be designated by Lessor, and cause such company to issue
to Lessor reports covering the Leased Property.

                  5.  No  Termination,   Abatement,  etc.  Except  as  otherwise
specifically  provided in this Lease, Lessee shall remain bound by this Lease in
accordance  with its terms and shall not seek or be entitled  to any  abatement,
deduction,  deferment  or reduction of Rent,  or set-off  against the Rent.  The
respective  obligations  of Lessor and Lessee shall not be affected by reason of
(i) any damage to or destruction of the Leased  Property or any portion  thereof
from whatever cause or any  Condemnation  of the Leased  Property or any portion
thereof;  (ii) the  lawful or  unlawful  prohibition  of, or  restriction  upon,
Lessee's use of the Leased Property,  or any portion  thereof,  the interference
with such use by any Person or by reason of eviction by paramount  title;  (iii)
any claim that Lessee has or might have against  Lessor by reason of any default
or  breach of any  warranty  by Lessor  hereunder  or under any other  agreement
between  Lessor and Lessee or to which Lessor and Lessee are  parties;  (iv) any
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,  composition, readjustment, liquidation,
dissolution, winding up or other proceedings affecting Lessor or any assignee or
transferee of Lessor; or (v) for any other cause,  whether similar or dissimilar
to any of the  foregoing,  other  than a  discharge  of  Lessee  from  any  such
obligations  as a matter of law.  Lessee hereby  specifically  waives all rights
arising from any occurrence  whatsoever  which may now or hereafter be conferred
upon it by law (a) to  modify,  surrender  or  terminate  this  Lease or quit or
surrender the Leased Property or any portion  thereof;  or (b) which may entitle
Lessee to any abatement, reduction, suspension or deferment of the Rent or other
sums payable by Lessee hereunder,  except as otherwise  specifically provided in
this Lease. The obligations of Lessor and Lessee hereunder shall be separate and
independent  covenants and agreements and the Rent and all other sums payable by
Lessee  hereunder  shall  continue  to be  payable  in  all  events  unless  the
obligations  to pay  the  same  shall  be  terminated  pursuant  to the  express
provisions of this Lease or by termination of this Lease other than by reason of
an Event of Default.

                  6.1 Ownership of the Leased Property. Lessee acknowledges that
the Leased Property is the property of Lessor and that Lessee has only the right
to the exclusive  possession  and use of the Leased  Property upon the terms and
conditions  of this Lease.  Lessee  shall,  at its  expense,  restore the Leased
Property to the condition required by Section 9.1.4.

                  6.2  Personal  PropertyPersonal  Property.  During  the  Term,
Lessee  shall,  as necessary and at its expense,  install,  affix or assemble or
place on any parcels of the Land or in any of the Leased Improvements, any items
of  Lessee's  Personal  Property  and  replacements  thereof  which shall be the
property of and owned by Lessee.  Except as provided in Sections  6.3 and 16.10,
Lessor shall have no rights to Lessee's Personal Property.  Lessee shall provide
and maintain during the entire Term all Personal Property  necessary in order to
operate  the  Facility  in  compliance  with  all  licensure  and  certification
requirements,   all  Legal  Requirements  and  all  Insurance  Requirements  and
otherwise in accordance with customary  practice in the industry for the Primary
Intended Use.

LessorTransfer of Personal  Property and Capital  Additions to Lessor.  Upon the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, all Capital Additions not owned
by Lessor and Lessee's  Personal  Property  shall become the property of Lessor,
free of any  encumbrance  and Lessee shall  execute all  documents  and take any
other actions reasonably  necessary to evidence such ownership and discharge any
encumbrance  thereon;  provided,  however,  that  subject to Section  6.4 below,
Lessee  shall be entitled to remove all  Removable  Personal  Property  from the
Leased  Property at the end of the Term so long as Lessee  repairs any damage to
the Leased Property caused by such removal.

                  6.4   Option  to   Purchase   Removable   Personal   Property.
Notwithstanding  anything to the  contrary in this Lease,  Lessor shall have the
option,  exercisable by written notice to the Lessee,  not less than thirty (30)
days prior to the end of the Term or within  thirty  (30) days after the earlier
termination  of this  Lease,  to purchase  all or any  portion of the  Removable
Personal  Property at the then book value of each item of Removable  Property as
reflected on Lessee's books and records  maintained in accordance  with GAAP, or
if no book value, then for an amount equal to the then unamortized original cost
thereof. Such amortization rate, if applicable,  shall be in accordance with the
useful life of the particular item of Removable  Personal Property as reasonably
determined by Lessee in accordance with GAAP. Upon payment of the purchase price
therefor,  Lessee  shall  convey the  Removable  Personal  Property  free of any
encumbrance  and  shall  execute  all  documents  and  take  any  other  actions
reasonably necessary to evidence the transfer and conveyance of ownership of the
Removable  Personal  Property  to Lessor and the  discharge  of any  encumbrance
thereon.

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

                  7.1  Condition  of the Leased  Property.  Lessee  acknowledges
receipt and delivery of  possession  of the Leased  Property and that Lessee has
examined and otherwise  has  knowledge of the  condition of the Leased  Property
prior to the  execution  and delivery of this Lease and has found the same to be
in good order and repair, free from Hazardous  Substances not in compliance with
Legal  Requirements,  and satisfactory for its purposes  hereunder.  Regardless,
however,  of any examination or inspection made by Lessee and whether or not any
patent or latent defect or condition was revealed or discovered thereby,  Lessee
is leasing the Leased Property "AS IS" in its present  condition.  Lessee waives
any claim or action  against  Lessor in respect of the  condition  of the Leased
Property including any defects or adverse conditions not discovered or otherwise
known  by  Lessee  as  of  the  date   hereof.   LESSOR  MAKES  NO  WARRANTY  OR
REPRESENTATION,  EXPRESS OR  IMPLIED,  IN RESPECT OF THE LEASED  PROPERTY OR ANY
PART  THEREOF,  EITHER AS TO ITS FITNESS FOR USE,  DESIGN OR  CONDITION  FOR ANY
PARTICULAR  USE OR PURPOSE OR  OTHERWISE,  OR AS TO THE NATURE OR QUALITY OF THE
MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP THEREIN, OR THE EXISTENCE OF ANY HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE, IT
BEING  AGREED  THAT ALL SUCH  RISKS,  LATENT OR  PATENT,  ARISING  FROM  EVENTS,
CONDITIONS  OR  CIRCUMSTANCES  OCCURRING  PRIOR TO OR DURING  THE TERM ARE TO BE
BORNE  SOLELY BY LESSEE  INCLUDING  ALL  RESPONSIBILITY  AND  LIABILITY  FOR ANY
ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION AND COMPLIANCE WITH ALL ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS.

                  7.2 Use of the Leased Property

                           7.2.1  Lessee  covenants  that  it  will  obtain  and
maintain all  authorizations  and approvals needed to use and operate the Leased
Property and the Facility for the Primary  Intended Use in accordance with Legal
Requirements  including applicable licenses,  provider agreements,  permits, and
Medicare and/or Medicaid certification.

                           7.2.2 Lessee shall use or cause to be used the Leased
Property and the  improvements  thereon for its Primary  Intended Use. Except as
otherwise set forth in the definition of Primary  Intended Use, Lessee shall not
use the Leased Property or any portion thereof or any Capital  Addition  thereto
for any other use without the prior  written  consent of Lessor,  which  consent
Lessor may withhold in its sole discretion.

<PAGE>
                           7.2.3  Except as a result of (a) damage,  destruction
or  Condemnation   and  such  reasonable   period  of  time  to  effect  repairs
necessitated  thereby,  or (b) any other occurrence of the nature and type of an
Unavoidable Delay, Lessee shall operate  continuously the entire Leased Property
and all Capital  Additions  thereto in accordance with its Primary Intended Use.
Lessee shall devote the entire Facility and all Capital Additions thereto to the
Primary Intended Use, except for areas reasonably required for office or storage
space uses  incidental to the Primary  Intended  Use.  Lessee shall be deemed in
violation  of the  foregoing  provision  if,  except for  medically  appropriate
reasons or as a result of (i) damage,  destruction or Condemnation,  or (ii) any
other  occurrence  of the  nature  and  type  of an  Unavoidable  Delay,  Lessee
voluntarily transfers, in the aggregate during any twelve (12) month period, ten
percent  (10%) or more of the  patients  or  residents  located in the  Facility
without replacing such patients or residents within such 12-month period.

                           7.2.4  Subject to Legal  Requirements  and  Insurance
Requirements,  Lessee shall  conduct its business at the Facility in  conformity
with the standards of patient and/or resident care practice  currently  provided
in  similar  facilities  in the State  which are owned,  operated  or managed by
Lessee or any Affiliate of Lessee, or if no such other similar facilities are so
owned,  operated  or managed by Lessee or any  Affiliate  of Lessee in the State
then consistent  with the current  standards  provided in similar  facilities in
other states  (such  standards to be adjusted to take into account the effect of
any Legal Requirements  and/or Insurance  Requirements  applicable in such other
states compared to those  applicable in the State) which are owned,  operated or
managed by Lessee or any Affiliate of Lessee.

                           7.2.5  Lessee  shall  not  commit  or  suffer  to  be
committed any waste to the Leased  Property or any Capital  Addition  thereto or
cause or permit any nuisance to be maintained thereon.

                           7.2.6  Lessee  shall  neither  suffer  nor permit the
Leased  Property or any  portion  thereof or any Capital  Addition  thereto,  or
Lessee's  Personal  Property,  to be used  in such a  manner  that  (a)  impairs
Lessor's  title  thereto or to any portion  thereof or (b) results in a claim of
adverse use or possession,  or an implied  dedication of the Leased  Property or
any portion thereof or any Capital Addition thereto.

                           7.2.7  To  the  extent  applicable  for  purposes  of
determining  the Additional  Rent payable by Lessee  hereunder,  for purposes of
computing  Incremental  Gross Revenues for any Lease Year or other period during
which  Lessee is in breach or  violation  of any of the  covenants  set forth in
Sections 7.2.1 through 7.2.4 shall be deemed to be the greater of Lessee's Gross
Revenues  for (i) such Lease Year or other  period,  or (ii) 100% of the highest
Gross Revenues for any prior Lease Year or any corresponding period of any prior
Lease Year, as applicable, as determined by Lessor.

                  7.3 Lessor to Grant Easements, etc. Lessor shall, from time to
time so long as no Event of  Default  has  occurred  and is  continuing,  at the
request of Lessee and at Lessee's cost and expense,  but subject to the approval
of Lessor,  which  approval  shall not be  unreasonably  withheld or delayed (i)
grant  easements  and other  rights in the  nature of  easements;  (ii)  release
existing  easements or other rights in the nature of easements which are for the
benefit of the Leased Property;  (iii) dedicate or transfer  unimproved portions
of the Leased Property for road, highway or other public purposes;  (iv) execute
petitions to have the Leased  Property  annexed to any municipal  corporation or
utility  district;  (v) execute  amendments  to any  covenants,  conditions  and
restrictions  affecting the Leased Property; and (vi) execute and deliver to any
Person any instrument  appropriate  to confirm or effect such grants,  releases,
dedications and transfers to the extent of its interest in the Leased Property,


                                       22
<PAGE>
but only upon delivery to Lessor of an Officer's  Certificate  stating that such
grant release, dedication, transfer, petition or amendment is not detrimental to
the proper  conduct of the  business of Lessee on the Leased  Property  and does
not, in Lessee's  reasonable  business judgment,  materially reduce the value of
the Leased Property.

                  7.4  Preservation  of Value and  Utility  of Leased  Property.
Lessee acknowledges that a fair return to Lessor on its investment in the Leased
Property is dependent,  in part,  on the  concentration  on the Leased  Property
during  the  Term of the  business  of  Lessee  and its  Affiliates  (i.e.,  the
operation of the Facility for its Primary Intended Use) in the geographical area
of the Leased Property.  Lessee further acknowledges that diversion of residents
and/or  patients,  as  applicable,  from the  Facility  to other  facilities  or
institutions  owned,  operated or managed,  whether  directly or indirectly,  by
Lessee or its Affiliates  could have a material  adverse impact on the value and
utility of the Leased Property. Accordingly, Lessor and Lessee agree as follows:

                           7.4.1  During  the Term  and for a period  of two (2)
years  thereafter,  neither  Lessee  nor  any of  its  Affiliates,  directly  or
indirectly,  shall  operate,  own,  manage or have any  interest in or otherwise
participate in or receive revenues from any Competing  Facility  (whether now or
hereafter in operation), within a ten (10) mile radius from the outside boundary
of the Leased Property (the "Ten Mile Area").  By its signature  hereto,  Lessee
represents  and warrants to Lessor that neither Lessee nor any of its Affiliates
currently has any such interest in any such Competing  Facility  within such Ten
Mile Area. In addition, the following shall apply:

                                  (a)  Lessee  or any of its  Affiliates  may at
         anytime  directly  or  indirectly,  operate,  own,  manage  or have any
         interest in or otherwise  participate  in or receive  revenues from any
         Competing  Facility  outside of a radius of fifteen (15) miles from the
         outside boundary of the Leased Property.

                                  (b)  Prior  to the  expiration  of the  eighth
         (8th) Lease Year of the Fixed Term,  and prior to the expiration of the
         third (3rd) Lease Year of each Extended Term, if any,  Lessee or any of
         its  Affiliates  may acquire and may directly or  indirectly,  operate,
         own,  manage or have an  interest  in or  otherwise  participate  in or
         receive revenues from any Competing  Facility (whether now or hereafter
         in operation)  within a radius from ten (10) to fifteen (15) miles from
         the outside  boundary of the Leased  Property  (the  "Ten-Fifteen  Mile
         Area").

                                  (c)  From  and  after  the  expiration  of the
         eighth  (8th)  Lease  Year of the  Fixed  Term,  and from and after the
         expiration of the third (3rd) Lease Year of each Extended Term, if any,
         if  Lessee  or  any  of  its  Affiliates  shall  acquire,  directly  or
         indirectly,  any material interest (including any controlling interest)
         in any  Competing  Facility,  including in the  operation or management
         thereof,  within the Ten-Fifteen  Mile Area, then Lessor may by written
         notice  to  Lessee  given  at  anytime  after  the date  Lessee  or any
         Affiliate  of Lessee  acquires  the same,  extend the then Term of this
         Lease for the next  subsequent  Extended  Term  (i.e.,  ten (10)  Lease
         Years).  In such event, the applicable  Extended Term shall be upon all
         the terms and  conditions  as  provided  for in  Article  XIX as though
         Lessee was entitled to and had exercised the same;  provided,  however,
         that in no event  shall (i) the Term of this Lease be  extended  beyond
         the second  Extended  Term pursuant to this  subsection  (c) or (ii) an
         extension of the Term of this Lease for any such Extended Term pursuant
         to this  subsection  (c) extend the "Term" of any other  Facility Group
         Lease.  The provisions of this subsection (c) (i.e.,  Lessor's right to
         extend the Term) shall not apply with respect to any Competing


                                       23
<PAGE>
         Facility which is operated, managed or owned by Lessee or any Affiliate
         of Lessee prior to the expiration of the eighth (8th) Lease Year of the
         Fixed  Term,  or the third (3rd) Lease Year of any  Extended  Term,  as
         applicable.

                        (d)  Without  limiting  Lessor's  rights as  provided in
         subsection (c) above, during the Term (including the Extended Terms, if
         any) Lessor shall have a first  refusal to finance  (and/or  refinance)
         any Competing  Facility now or hereafter owned or proposed to be owned,
         directly or indirectly, by Lessee or any Affiliate of Lessee within the
         Ten-Fifteen  Mile  Area  upon  the same  terms  and  conditions  of any
         financing  (or  refinancing)  from any third party which  Lessee or any
         Affiliate  of Lessee  intends  to accept  (or has  accepted  subject to
         Lessor's  right of  first  refusal  herein),  including  any  financing
         (and/or refinancing) of such Competing Facility together with any other
         facilities  owned or proposed to be owned,  directly or indirectly,  by
         Lessee or any Affiliate of Lessee (whether or not such other facilities
         are located  within the  Ten-Fifteen  Mile Area).  If,  during the Term
         (including  the Extended  Terms,  if any),  Lessee or any  Affiliate of
         Lessee reaches such agreement or a tentative  agreement with respect to
         the  terms  and  conditions  of any  such  third  party  financing  (or
         refinancing)  for any such Competing  Facility  within the  Ten-Fifteen
         Mile Area  (whether  by itself or with one or more  other  facilities),
         Lessee shall  promptly  notify  Lessor of the material  terms  thereof,
         including the principal balance,  purchase price, interest, lease rate,
         amortization  rate or term,  as  applicable.  Lessor shall have fifteen
         (15) days after  receipt of such  notice from  Lessee  within  which to
         exercise  Lessor's  right of first  refusal  and agree to provide  such
         financing (or refinancing) upon the same material terms as described in
         the notice to Lessor,  which  agreement  shall include,  if applicable,
         Lessor's  agreement  to provide  such  financing  or  refinancing  with
         respect to any such other  facilities  which are  included  in the same
         financing (or refinancing)  package with such Competing Facility within
         the Ten-Fifteen Mile Area. If Lessor shall not exercise  Lessor's right
         of first  refusal  within said  fifteen  (15) day period and within the
         manner  herein  provided,  Lessee shall be free for a period of one (1)
         year after the  expiration  of said  fifteen  (15) day period to obtain
         financing  (or  refinancing)  with respect to such  Competing  Facility
         within  the  Ten-Fifteen  Mile  Area  (and  any such  other  facilities
         described  in such notice to Lessor) from any third party upon terms no
         less favorable  than those so offered to Lessor.  If such financing (or
         refinancing)  is not  consummated,  Lessor's  right of first refusal as
         provided  in this  subsection  (d) with  respect to any such  Competing
         Facility  shall  be  re-instituted,   as  to  any  subsequent  proposed
         financing  (or  refinancing)  of the same by Lessee or any Affiliate of
         Lessee.  As used in this subsection (d),  "financing (or  refinancing)"
         shall mean and  include a loan  (including  a loan  secured by the real
         estate  and  other   collateral  of  a  Competing   Facility)  and  any
         sale-leaseback or similar transaction.  Notwithstanding anything to the
         contrary in this subsection (d), Lessor shall not have a right of first
         refusal with respect to (i) any  seller/transferor  take-back financing
         provided to Lessee or an  Affiliate  of Lessee in  connection  with the
         acquisition of a Competing  Facility within the Ten-Fifteen  Mile Area,
         so  long  as   such   take-back   financing   was   required   by  such
         seller/transferor  as  a  condition  to  such  acquisition,   (ii)  the
         assumption  by Lessee  or any  Affiliate  of  Lessee  of any  financing
         encumbering a Competing Facility within the Ten-Fifteen Mile Area which
         financing  existed prior to the date of  acquisition  of such Competing
         Facility by Lessee or any  Affiliate  of Lessee or (iii) any  financing
         (or   refinancing)  of  any   non-competing   facilities  or  Competing
         Facilities located outside of the Ten-Fifteen Mile Area which are owned
         or proposed  to be owned by Lessee or an  Affiliate  of Lessee,  unless
         such facilities (or some of them) are included in a proposed  financing
         (and/or  refinancing)  package  with a  Competing  Facility  within the
         Ten-Fifteen  Mile Area as to which Lessor has a right of first  refusal
         hereunder.

All distances provided for in this Section 7.4.1 shall be measured on a straight
line  rather than  driving  distance  basis.  In the event that any portion of a
Competing  Facility is located within the Ten Mile Area or the Ten-Fifteen  Mile
Area,  as the case may be, then the entire  Competing  Facility  shall be deemed
located within such area.

                           7.4.2  For a  period  of one (1) year  following  the
Term, neither Lessee nor any of its Affiliates shall,  without the prior written
consent of Lessor,  which  consent may be given or  withheld  in  Lessor's  sole
discretion,  hire,  engage or otherwise  employ any  management  or  supervisory
personnel working on or in connection with the Leased Property.

                           7.4.3 Except for medically  appropriate reasons or as
a result of damage,  destruction or  Condemnation,  prior to and for a period of
two (2) years after the expiration or earlier  termination of this Lease, Lessee
shall not recommend or actively solicit (e.g., through direct mailers, telephone
solicitation or other forms of  communication  directed at patients or residents
of the Facility or their  relatives)  the removal or transfer of any resident or
patient from the Leased Property to any other Competing Facility owned, operated
or  managed  by Lessee  or any  Affiliate  of  Lessee or in which  Lessee or any
Affiliate of Lessee has an interest (financial or otherwise).

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

                  8.   Compliance   with  Legal  and   Insurance   Requirements,
Instruments,  etc.  Subject to Article XII  regarding  permitted  contests,  and
without limiting the specific provisions of Article XXXVII below, Lessee, at its
expense,  shall  promptly (i) comply with all Legal  Requirements  and Insurance
Requirements regarding the use, operation,  maintenance,  repair and restoration
of the Leased Property,  Lessee's  Personal  Property and all Capital  Additions
whether or not compliance therewith may require structural changes in any of the
Leased  Improvements or Capital  Additions thereto or interfere with the use and
enjoyment of the Leased Property and (ii) procure,  maintain and comply with all
licenses,  certificates of need,  provider  agreements and other  authorizations
required for the use of the Leased Property,  Lessee's Personal Property and all
Capital  Additions for the Primary  Intended Use and any other use of the Leased
Property,  Lessee's Personal Property and all Capital Additions then being made,
and for the proper  erection,  installation,  operation and  maintenance  of the
Leased Property,  Lessee's Personal Property and all Capital  Additions.  Lessor
may,  but shall not be  obligated  to,  enter upon the Leased  Property  and all
Capital  Additions  thereto  and take  such  actions  and incur  such  costs and
expenses to effect such compliance as it deems advisable to protect its interest
in the Leased Property and Capital Additions thereto, and Lessee shall reimburse
Lessor for all costs and  expenses  incurred by Lessor in  connection  with such

                                   -----------

                  9.1 Maintenance and Repair

                           9.1.1  Lessee,  at its  expense,  shall  maintain the
Leased Property,  and every portion thereof,  Lessee's  Personal Property (other
than the Removable Personal Property) and all Capital Additions, and all private
roadways,  sidewalks and curbs appurtenant to the Leased Property, and which are
under Lessee's control in good order and repair whether or not the need for such
repairs  occurs as a result of Lessee's  use, any prior use, the elements or the
age  of  the  Leased  Property,  Lessee's  Personal  Property  and  all  Capital
Additions,  and, with reasonable promptness,  make all necessary and appropriate
repairs  thereto of every kind and nature,  including  those necessary to comply
with changes in any Legal Requirements, whether interior or exterior, structural
or non-structural,  ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen or arising
by reason of a condition existing prior to the Commencement Date. Lessee, at its
expense, shall maintain all Removable Personal Property in a safe condition. All
repairs  shall be at least  equivalent in quality to the original  work.  Lessee
will not take or omit to take any action the taking or  omission  of which might
materially  impair the value of the Leased  Property  or the  ability to use the
Leased  Property  or any part  thereof or any Capital  Addition  thereto for its
Primary Intended Use.

                           9.1.2  Lessor  shall not under any  circumstances  be
required to (i) build or rebuild any improvements on the Leased  Property;  (ii)
make any repairs,  replacements,  alterations,  restorations  or renewals of any
nature to the Leased Property, whether ordinary or extraordinary,  structural or
non-structural,  foreseen or unforeseen,  or to make any expenditure  whatsoever
with  respect  thereto,  unless  the  need  therefor  was  caused  by the  gross
negligence  or  willful   misconduct  of  Lessor,   its  employees,   agents  or
contractors;  or (iii)  maintain the Leased  Property in any way.  Lessee hereby
waives, to the extent permitted by law, the right to make repairs at the expense
of Lessor  pursuant  to any law in effect at the time of the  execution  of this
Lease or hereafter enacted.

                           9.1.3  Nothing  contained in this Lease and no action
or inaction by Lessor  shall be  construed  as (i)  constituting  the consent or
request of Lessor,  expressed  or  implied,  to any  contractor,  subcontractor,
laborer,  materialman  or  vendor  to or for the  performance  of any  labor  or
services  or  the  furnishing  of  any  materials  or  other  property  for  the
construction,  alteration,  addition,  repair or  demolition of or to the Leased
Property or any part  thereof or any Capital  Addition  thereto;  or (ii) giving
Lessee any right,  power or permission to contract for or permit the performance
of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in
such fashion as would permit the making of any claim  against  Lessor in respect
therefor or create any right, title, interest,  lien, claim or other encumbrance
upon the estate of Lessor in the Leased Property,  or any portion thereof or any
Capital Addition thereto.

                           9.1.4  Unless  Lessor  shall convey any of the Leased
Property to Lessee pursuant to the provisions of this Lease,  Lessee shall, upon
the  expiration  or earlier  termination  of the Term,  vacate and surrender the
Leased Property,  Lessee's Personal Property (other than the Removable  Personal
Property)  and all Capital  Additions  to Lessor in the  condition  in which the
Leased  Property  was  originally  received  from Lessor and  Lessee's  Personal
Property and Capital  Additions  were  originally  introduced  to the  Facility,
except as  repaired,  rebuilt,  restored,  altered or added to as  permitted  or
required by the provisions of this Lease and except for ordinary wear and tear.

                  9.2 Encroachments,  Restrictions,  Mineral Leases, etc. If any
of the Leased 


                                       26
<PAGE>
Improvements  or  Capital  Additions  shall,  at any  time,  encroach  upon  any
property,  street or right-of-way,  or shall violate any restrictive covenant or
other  agreement  affecting  the  Leased  Property,  or any part  thereof or any
Capital  Addition  thereto,  or shall  impair  the  rights of  others  under any
easement or right-of-way to which the Leased Property is subject,  or the use of
the Leased  Property or any Capital  Addition  thereto is  impaired,  limited or
interfered  with by reason of the exercise of the right of surface  entry or any
other  provision  of a lease  or  reservation  of any oil,  gas,  water or other
minerals, then promptly upon the request of Lessor or any Person affected by any
such  encroachment,  violation  or  impairment,  Lessee,  at its  sole  cost and
expense,  but  subject  to its  right  to  contest  the  existence  of any  such
encroachment,  violation or impairment,  shall protect, indemnify, save harmless
and defend Lessor from and against all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims,
damages,  penalties,  causes of action, costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys',  consultants' and experts' fees and expenses) based on or arising by
reason of any such  encroachment,  violation or  impairment.  In the event of an
adverse final determination with respect to any such encroachment,  violation or
impairment,  Lessee  shall  either (i)  obtain  valid and  effective  waivers or
settlements  of all claims,  liabilities  and damages  resulting  from each such
encroachment,  violation or impairment,  whether the same shall affect Lessor or
Lessee;  or (ii) make such  changes in the Leased  Improvements  and any Capital
Addition  thereto,  and take such  other  actions,  as Lessee in the good  faith
exercise  of  its  judgment  deems  reasonably   practicable,   to  remove  such
encroachment  or to end such violation or impairment,  including,  if necessary,
the  alteration  of any of  the  Leased  Improvements  or any  Capital  Addition
thereto,  and in any event take all such actions as may be necessary in order to
be able to continue  the  operation of the Leased  Improvements  and any Capital
Addition thereto for the Primary Intended Use substantially in the manner and to
the extent the Leased  Improvements and Capital Additions were operated prior to
the  assertion  of  such   encroachment,   violation  or  impairment.   Lessee's
obligations  under this  Section 9.2 shall be in addition to and shall in no way
discharge or diminish any obligation of any insurer under any policy of title or
other  insurance  and, to the extent the  recovery  thereof is not  necessary to
compensate Lessor for any damages incurred by any such  encroachment,  violation
or  impairment,  Lessee shall be entitled to a credit for any sums  recovered by
Lessor under any such policy of title or other insurance.

                  9.3 Repairs to be Performed by Lessee.  Lessee  shall,  at its
own expense, on or before June 1, 1997, perform certain deferred maintenance and

                                   ----------

Construction  of Capital  Additions  to the Leased  Property.  Without the prior
written  consent of Lessor which consent may be withheld or granted by Lessor in
its sole and absolute discretion,  Lessee shall (a) make no Capital Additions on
or structural  alterations to the Leased  Property and (b) not enlarge or reduce
the size of the Facility or otherwise alter or affect any main Facility systems,
including  any  main  plumbing,  electrical  or  heating,  ventilating  and  air
conditioning  systems of the  Facility;  provided,  however,  that Lessor hereby
agrees not to  unreasonably  withhold  its consent to any Capital  Additions  or
structural  alterations to the Leased  Property  which,  for any single project,
costs less than $100,000, or when aggregated with all other projects (other than
the Capital Addition  Project  described in Section 10.3 below) during the Term,
costs less than $200,000.

General  Requirements  for all  Approved  Capital  Additions.  For  all  Capital
Additions which Lessee desires to make and which Lessor has approved pursuant to
Section 10.1 above or 10.3 below, the following shall apply:

                           (a) Such construction shall not commence until Lessee
has   delivered   to  Lessor  and  Lessor  has  approved   detailed   plans  and
specifications  in form  acceptable  to  Lessor  with  respect  to such  Capital
Addition.  There shall be no changes to any such plans and  specifications  once
approved by Lessor without Lessor's written consent.

                           (b) Such construction shall not commence to and until
Lessee has delivered to Lessor and Lessor has approved a detailed  budget of all
costs projected to be incurred in connection  with the planning,  permitting and
construction  of the Capital  Addition,  including an allowance  for costs to be
incurred by Lessor in connection with its review, approval and monitoring of the

hereunder  or, in connection  with the Capital  Additions  Project  described in
Section 10.3 below,  accrued by Lessor and deemed part of the Capital  Additions
Costs funded by Lessor.

                           (c) Such construction shall not commence until Lessee
has  procured  and paid for all  municipal  and other  governmental  permits and
authorizations required


                                       28
<PAGE>
therefor.  Lessor  shall  join  in the  application  for  any  such  permits  or
authorizations  whenever such action is necessary;  provided,  however, that (i)
any such joinder shall be at no cost or expense to Lessor (except as provided in
Section  10.3);  and (ii) any plans and  specifications  required to be filed in
connection with any such application shall have been approved by Lessor.

                           (d)  Lessee  shall  have  procured  or  caused  to be
procured a payment and performance bond for the full value of such construction,
which bond shall name Lessor as an  additional  obligee and otherwise be in form
and substance and issued by a Person reasonably satisfactory to Lessor.

                           (e)  Such  construction  shall  not,  and a  licensed
architect or engineer  selected by Lessee and approved by Lessor,  shall certify
to Lessor that such  construction  shall not, impair the structural  strength of
any  component  of the  Facility  or  overburden  the  main  electrical,  water,
plumbing,  HVAC or other  building  systems  of the  Facility  or any  component
thereof.

                           (f) Lessee's licensed  architect or engineer approved
by Lessor  shall  certify to Lessor that the detailed  plans and  specifications
conform to and  comply  with all  applicable  building,  subdivision  and zoning
codes, laws, ordinances, regulations and other Legal Requirements imposed by all
governmental  authorities  having  jurisdiction  over the Leased  Property,  all
Insurance  Requirements and all private  covenants,  conditions and restrictions
affecting all or any portion of the Leased Property.

                           (g) Such construction  shall,  when completed,  be of
such a character as not to decrease the value or utility of the Leased  Property
as it was immediately before such Capital Addition.

                           (h)  During   and   following   completion   of  such
construction,  the parking which is located at the Facility or on the Land shall
remain  adequate for the operation of the Facility for its Primary  Intended Use
and in no event  shall  such  parking  be less  than  that (i)  which  was or is
required by all Legal  Requirements or (ii) which was located at the Facility or
on the Land prior to such construction.

                           (i)  All   work   done  in   connection   with   such
construction  shall be done promptly and in a good and workmanlike  manner using
first-class materials and in conformity with all Legal Requirements.

                           (j)  Promptly   following  the   completion  of  such
construction,  Lessee  shall  deliver  to Lessor  "as  built"  drawings  of such
addition,  certified as accurate by the licensed  architect or engineer selected
by Lessee and approved by Lessor to supervise such work.

                           (k) If by  reason  of the  construction  of any  such
Capital  Addition  a new  Certificate  of  Occupancy  for any  component  of the
Facility  is  required,  Lessee  shall  obtain and furnish a copy of the same to
Lessor promptly upon completion of the Capital Addition.

                           (d) Endorsements to any then existing policy of title
insurance covering the Leased Property or commitments  therefor  satisfactory in

<PAGE>
the Capital Addition  Project as provided in Section 10.2(b) above,  Lessor may,
in its sole  discretion and at the request of Lessee,  agree to fund the Capital
Addition  Project  based  upon  periodic  disbursements,  but in no  event  more
frequently than once per month. In such event, such periodic disbursements shall
be made on such basis as Lessor and Lessee may agree, provided that prior to any
such  disbursement  Lessor shall receive,  to the extent  applicable,  the items
described  in  subparagraphs  (a)  through  (g) above with  respect to each such
disbursement.

respect of the Rent,  excluding,  however, (i) this Lease; (ii) the matters that

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

                  12. Permitted  Contests.  Lessee, upon prior written notice to
Lessor,  on its own or in Lessor's name, at Lessee's  expense,  may contest,  by
appropriate  legal  proceedings  conducted in good faith and with due diligence,
the amount,  validity or  application,  in whole or in part, of any licensure or
certification decision,  Imposition,  Legal Requirement,  Insurance Requirement,
lien, attachment,  levy, encumbrance,  charge or claim; subject, however, to the
further  requirement  that  (i) in  the  case  of an  unpaid  Imposition,  lien,
attachment,   levy,   encumbrance,   charge  or  claim,   the  commencement  and
continuation  of such  proceedings  shall  suspend the  collection  thereof from
Lessor  and from the Leased  Property  or any  Capital  Addition  thereto;  (ii)
neither the Leased Property or any Capital Addition thereto,  the Rent therefrom
nor any part or interest in either thereof would be in any danger of being sold,
forfeited,  attached or lost pending the outcome of such  proceedings;  (iii) in
the case of a Legal  Requirement,  neither  Lessor  nor  Lessee  would be in any
danger of civil or criminal  liability for failure to comply  therewith  pending
the outcome of such proceedings; (iv) if any such contest shall involve a sum of
money or potential loss in excess of Fifty Thousand  Dollars  ($50,000),  Lessee
shall deliver to Lessor and its counsel an opinion of legal  counsel  reasonably
acceptable  to Lessor to the  effect set forth in  clauses  (i),  (ii) and (iii)
above,  to the  extent  applicable;  (v) in the  case  of a  Legal  Requirement,
Imposition,  lien,  encumbrance  or charge,  Lessee  shall give such  reasonable
security as may be reasonably  required by Lessor to insure ultimate  payment of
the same and to prevent  any sale or  forfeiture  of the Leased  Property or any
Capital  Addition  thereto  or  the  Rent  by  reason  of  such  non-payment  or
noncompliance;  and (vi) in the case of an Insurance  Requirement,  the coverage
required by Article  XIII shall be  maintained.  If any such  contest be finally
resolved against Lessor or Lessee, Lessee shall promptly pay the amount required
to be paid,  together with all interest and penalties accrued thereon, or comply
with the applicable  Legal  Requirement  or Insurance  Requirement.  Lessor,  at
Lessee's expense,  shall execute and deliver to Lessee such  authorizations  and
other  documents  as may  reasonably  be required in any such  contest,  and, if
reasonably  requested by Lessee or if Lessor so desires,  Lessor shall join as a
party  therein.  The  provisions  of this  Article XII shall not be construed to
permit  Lessee to contest  the  payment of Rent or any other  amount  payable by
Lessee to Lessor  hereunder.  Lessee shall indemnify,  defend,  protect and save
Lessor harmless from and against any liability, cost or expense of any kind that
may be imposed  upon  Lessor in  connection  with any such  contest and any loss
resulting therefrom.

                                  ARTICLE XIII.
                                  -------------

                  13.1 General Insurance  Requirements.  During the Term, Lessee
shall at all times keep the Leased  Property,  and all property located in or on
the Leased Property,  including Capital Additions, the Fixtures and the Personal
Property,  insured with the kinds and amounts of insurance described below. This
insurance shall be written by companies  authorized to do insurance  business in
the State in which the Leased  Property is located.  All liability type policies
must name Lessor as an  "additional  insured." All property,  loss of rental and
business  interruption  type policies  shall name Lessor as "loss payee." Losses
shall be  payable  to Lessor  and/or  Lessee as  provided  in  Article  XIV.  In
addition, the policies, as appropriate, shall name as an "additional insured" or
"loss  payee"  the  holder  of any  mortgage,  deed of trust  or other  security
agreement  ("Facility   Mortgagee")  securing  any  indebtedness  or  any  other
Encumbrance  placed on the Leased  Property in accordance with the provisions of
Article XXXVI  ("Facility  Mortgage")  by way of a standard form of  mortgagee's
loss payable endorsement.  Any loss adjustment shall require the written consent
of Lessor,  Lessee, and each Facility Mortgagee.  Evidence of insurance shall be
deposited  with Lessor and, if requested,  with any Facility  Mortgagee(s).  The
policies shall insure against the following risks:

                           13.1.1  Loss  or  damage  by  fire,   vandalism   and
malicious  mischief,  extended  coverage  perils  commonly known as special form
perils,  earthquake  (including  earth  movement),  sinkhole and windstorm in an
amount not less than the insurable value on a replacement cost basis (as defined
below in Section 13.2) and including a building ordinance coverage endorsement;

                           13.1.2 Loss or damage by explosion of steam  boilers,
pressure  vessels  or  similar  apparatus,  now or  hereafter  installed  in the
Facility,  in such limits with respect to any one accident as may be  reasonably
requested by Lessor from time to time;

                           13.1.3 Flood (when the Leased  Property is located in
whole or in part within a designated  100-year  flood plain area) and such other
hazards and in such amounts as may be customary for comparable properties in the
area;

                           13.1.4  Loss of rental  value in an  amount  not less
than twelve (12) months' Rent payable  hereunder or business  interruption in an
amount not less than twelve (12) months of income and normal operating  expenses
including payroll and Rent payable  hereunder with an endorsement  extending the
period of indemnity by at least ninety (90) days (Building Ordinance - Increased
Period of Restoration Endorsement)  necessitated by the occurrence of any of the
hazards described in Sections 13.1.1, 13.1.2 or 13.1.3;

                           13.1.5  Claims for bodily  injury or property  damage
under a policy of commercial  general liability  insurance with amounts not less
than One Million and No/100 Dollars  ($1,000,000.00)  combined  single limit and
Three Million No/100 Dollars ($3,000,000.00) in the annual aggregate; and

                           13.1.6  Medical  professional  liability with amounts
not less than One Million Dollars  ($1,000,000)  combined single limit and Three
Million Dollars ($3,000,000) in the annual aggregate.

                  13.2 Replacement Cost. The term "replacement  cost" shall mean
the actual  replacement  cost of the insured property from time to time with new
materials and  workmanship  of like kind and quality.  If either party  believes
that the  replacement  cost has  increased  or  decreased at any time during the
Term, it shall have the right to have such replacement  cost  redetermined by an
impartial national insurance company reasonably  acceptable to both parties (the
"impartial  appraiser");   provided,  however,  that  in  no  event  shall  such
redetermination  occur more frequently than one time every three (3) Lease Years
without  the  mutual  consent of the  parties.  The party  desiring  to have the
replacement  cost  so  redetermined   shall   forthwith,   on  receipt  of  such
determination  by the impartial  appraiser,  give written  notice thereof to the
other party hereto. The determination of the impartial  appraiser shall be final
and  binding on the  parties  hereto,  and Lessee  shall  forthwith  increase or
decrease  the amount of the  insurance  carried  pursuant to this Article to the
amount so determined by the impartial  appraiser.  Each party shall pay one-half
(1/2) of the  fee,  if any,  of the  impartial  appraiser.  If  Lessee  has made
improvements  to the Leased  Property,  Lessor may at Lessee's  expense have the
replacement  cost  redetermined  at any time after such  improvements  are made,
regardless of when the replacement cost was last determined.

                  13.3  Additional  Insurance.  In  addition  to  the  insurance
described  above,  Lessee shall  maintain  such  additional  insurance as may be
reasonably  required  from  time to time by any  Facility  Mortgagee  and  shall
further at all times maintain  adequate workers'  compensation  coverage and any
other coverage required by Legal Requirements for all Persons employed by Lessee
on the Leased Property and any Capital Addition thereto in accordance with Legal
Requirements.

                  13.4 Waiver of Subrogation.  All insurance policies carried by
either party covering the Leased Property and any Capital  Addition  thereto and
Lessee's  Personal Property  including  contents,  fire and casualty  insurance,
shall  expressly  waive  any  right of  subrogation  on the part of the  insurer
against the other  party.  Each party waives any claims it has against the other
party to the extent such claim is covered by insurance.

                  13.5 Policy  Requirements.  All of the  policies of  insurance
referred to in this Article shall be written in form reasonably  satisfactory to
Lessor  and by  insurance  companies  with a  policyholder  rating  of "A" and a
financial  rating of "X" in the most recent  version of Best's Key Rating Guide.
Lessee  shall  pay all of the  premiums  therefor  as and when due  (whether  in
installments or otherwise), and deliver such policies or certificates thereof to
Lessor prior to their effective date (and with respect to any renewal policy, at
least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the existing  policy),  and in
the event of the failure of Lessee either to effect such  insurance in the names
herein called for or to pay the premiums therefor as and when due, or to deliver
such policies or certificates  thereof to Lessor, at the times required,  Lessor
shall be entitled,  but shall have no  obligation,  to effect such insurance and
pay the  premiums  therefor,  in which  event the cost  thereof,  together  with
interest  thereon at the Overdue Rate,  shall be repayable to Lessor upon demand
therefor.  Each insurer shall agree,  by  endorsement  on the policy or policies
issued by it, or by  independent  instrument  furnished to Lessor,  that it will
give to Lessor thirty (30) days' written notice before the policy or policies in
question  shall be altered,  allowed to expire or  cancelled.  Each policy shall
have a  deductible  or  deductibles,  if any,  which are no  greater  than those
normally maintained for similar facilities in the State.

                  13.6  Increase  in Limits.  If either  party shall at any time
believe the limits of the insurance required hereunder to be either excessive or
insufficient,  the parties shall  endeavor to agree in writing on the proper and
reasonable  limits for such  insurance  to be carried and such  insurance  shall
thereafter  be  carried  with the limits  thus  agreed on until  further  change
pursuant to the provisions of this Section; provided, however, that such changes
shall not occur more  frequently than one time per Lease Year without the mutual
consent of the parties.  If the parties  shall be unable to agree  thereon,  the
proper  and  reasonable  limits  for  such  insurance  to be  carried  shall  be
determined by an impartial third party  reasonably  selected by Lessor.  Nothing
herein shall  permit the amount of  insurance to be reduced  below the amount or
amounts required by any of the Facility Mortgagee.

                  13.7  Blanket   Policies  and   Policies   Covering   Multiple
Locations.  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary contained in this Article,
Lessee's  obligations to carry the casualty insurance provided for herein may be
brought within the coverage of a blanket policy or policies of insurance carried
and maintained by Lessee or its Affiliate;  provided, however, that the coverage
afforded Lessor will not be reduced or diminished or otherwise be different from
that which would exist under a separate policy meeting all other requirements of
this  Lease by  reason  of the use of such  blanket  policy  of  insurance,  and
provided  further  that the  requirements  of this  Article  XIII are  otherwise
satisfied.  For any liability  policies  covering  facilities in addition to the
Leased  Property,   Lessor  may  require  excess  limits  as  Lessor  reasonably
determines.

                  13.8 No Separate Insurance.  Lessee shall not, on Lessee's own
initiative  or pursuant to the request or  requirement  of any third party,  (i)
take out separate  insurance  concurrent in form or contributing in the event of
loss  with  that  required  in this  Article  to be  furnished  by, or which may
reasonably  be required to be furnished  by, Lessee or (ii) increase the amounts
of any then existing  insurance by securing an  additional  policy or additional
policies,  unless all parties having an insurable interest in the subject matter
of the insurance as to which Lessee has notice or actual knowledge, including in
all cases Lessor and all Facility Mortgagees, are included therein as additional
insured  and the loss is payable  under  such  insurance  in the same  manner as
losses are payable under this Lease.  Lessee shall immediately  notify Lessor of
the taking out of any such separate insurance or of the increasing of any of the
amounts of the then  existing  insurance  by  securing an  additional  policy or
additional policies.

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

                  14.1 Insurance Proceeds. All proceeds payable by reason of any
loss or damage to the Leased Property, or any portion thereof,  under any policy
of insurance  required to be carried  hereunder shall be paid to Lessor and made
available,  subject to  reasonable  conditions  and  requirements,  by Lessor to
Lessee  from time to time upon  request  of Lessee as work  progresses,  for the
reasonable costs of  reconstruction or repair, as the case may be, of any damage
to or  destruction of the Leased  Property,  or any portion  thereof;  provided,
however,  that so long as no Event of Default  has  occurred  hereunder,  if the
proceeds of any such  insurance are less than  $50,000.00,  then Lessee shall be
entitled to receive such proceeds directly from the insurer. Any excess proceeds
of insurance remaining after the completion of the restoration or reconstruction
of the Leased Property (or in the event neither Lessor nor Lessee is required or
elects to repair and restore,  all such insurance proceeds) shall be retained by
or paid over to Lessor,  as the case may be,  except as  otherwise  specifically
provided below in this Article XIV. All salvage  resulting from any risk covered
by  insurance  shall  belong to Lessor.  In the event of any  insured  casualty,
Lessee's obligation to commence  reconstruction or repair of the Leased Property
as provided herein, if applicable, shall accrue upon the earlier of (i) the date
of settlement of any insurance  claim with respect to such casualty and (ii) one
hundred twenty (120) days  following the date of such casualty.  In the event of
an uninsured casualty,  Lessee's obligation to commence restoration or repair of
the Leased  Property as provided  herein,  if applicable,  shall accrue ten (10)
days  following  the  date of such  casualty.  Lessee  shall  commence  any such
restoration  or repair  work  which  Lessee is  required  to  perform  hereunder
promptly  after its  obligation  hereunder  first accrues and  thereafter  shall
diligently prosecute such work to completion.

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

                           14.2.1 If the Leased Property is damaged or destroyed
from a risk  covered  by  insurance  carried  by Lessee  such that the  Facility
thereby is rendered Unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use, Lessee shall either
(i) restore the Leased Property to  substantially  the same condition as existed
immediately  before such damage or destruction in accordance with the provisions
of Section 14.1, or (ii) offer to acquire the Leased  Property from Lessor for a
purchase price equal to the greater of (y) the Minimum  Repurchase  Price or (z)
the Fair Market Value immediately prior to such damage or destruction. If Lessor
does not accept  Lessee's offer to so purchase the Leased  Property,  Lessee may
either  withdraw  such  offer and  proceed to restore  the  Leased  Property  in
accordance  with  the  provisions  of  Section  14.1 to  substantially  the same
condition as existed  immediately before such damage or destruction or terminate
the Lease in which  event  Lessor  shall be  entitled  to retain  the  insurance
proceeds.

                           14.2.2 If the Leased  Property is damaged from a risk
covered by

insurance carried by Lessee, but the Facility is not thereby rendered Unsuitable
for its Primary  Intended  Use,  Lessee  shall  restore  the Leased  Property to
substantially  the same condition as existed  immediately  before such damage in
accordance  with the provisions of Section 14.1. Such damage shall not terminate
this Lease;  provided,  however,  that if Lessee cannot within a reasonable time
after  diligent  efforts  obtain the necessary  government  approvals  needed to
restore and operate the Facility for its Primary  Intended Use, Lessee may offer
to purchase the Leased Property for a purchase price equal to the greater of the
Minimum  Repurchase  Price or the Fair Market  Value  immediately  prior to such
damage.  If Lessee  shall make such  offer and Lessor  does not accept the same,
Lessee may either withdraw such offer and proceed to restore the Leased Property
to substantially the same condition as existed immediately before such damage or
destruction in accordance  with the provisions of Section 14.1, or terminate the
Lease, in which event Lessor shall be entitled to retain the insurance proceeds.

                           14.2.3  If the  cost  of the  repair  or  restoration
exceeds the amount of proceeds received by Lessor from the insurance required to
be carried  hereunder,  Lessee shall  contribute  any excess  amounts  needed to
restore the Facility. Such difference shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor together
with any other  insurance  proceeds,  for  application to the cost of repair and
restoration.

                           14.2.4 If Lessor  accepts  Lessee's offer to purchase
the Leased  Property,  this Lease shall terminate as to the Leased Property upon
payment of the  purchase  price and Lessor  shall remit to Lessee all  insurance
proceeds  pertaining to the Leased Property then held by Lessor.  The provisions
of Section  44.6 below shall apply with respect to any such  termination  of the
Lease pursuant to this Section 14.2.4.

from a risk not covered by insurance  carried by Lessee,  such that the Facility
is thereby rendered Unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use, Lessee shall either
(i) restore the Leased Property to  substantially  the same condition as existed
immediately  prior  to  such  damage  or  destruction  in  accordance  with  the
provisions of Section  14.1,  or (ii) offer to acquire the Leased  Property from
Lessor for a purchase  price equal to the greater of (y) the Minimum  Repurchase
Price  or (z)  the  Fair  Market  Value  immediately  prior  to such  damage  or
destruction.  If Lessor does not accept Lessee's offer to so purchase the Leased
Property,  which Lessor shall have the right to accept or reject in its sole and
absolute  discretion,  Lessee  shall  immediately  proceed to restore the Leased
Property to  substantially  the same condition as existed  immediately  prior to
such damage or destruction in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.1.

                           (b) If the Leased Property is damaged from a risk not
covered by insurance carried by Lessee, but the Facility is not thereby rendered
Unsuitable  for its  Primary  Intended  Use,  Lessee  shall  restore  the Leased
Property to substantially  the same condition that existed before such damage in
accordance  with the provisions of Section 14.1. Such damage shall not terminate
this Lease;  provided,  however,  that if Lessee cannot within a reasonable time
after  diligent  efforts  obtain the necessary  government  approvals  needed to
restore and operate the Facility for its Primary  Intended Use, Lessee may offer
to purchase the Leased Property for a purchase price equal to the greater of (y)
the Minimum  Repurchase Price or (z) the Fair Market Value  immediately prior to
such damage.  If Lessor does not accept Lessee's offer to so purchase the Leased
Property,  which Lessor shall have the right to accept or reject in its sole and
absolute  discretion,  Lessee  shall  immediately  proceed to restore the Leased
Property to  substantially  the same condition that existed  immediately  before
such damage or destruction in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.1.

Leased Property  pursuant to either of Sections 14.3.1 or 14.3.2, as applicable,
this  Lease  shall  terminate  as to the  Leased  Property  upon  payment of the
applicable purchase price.

required by this Lease shall  remain  unabated  during the period  required  for
adjusting insurance, satisfying Legal Requirements, repair and restoration.

any notice  which  under  applicable  law may be required in order to declare an
Event of Default;

                           (k) except for medically  appropriate reasons or as a
result of (i) damage,  destruction or Condemnation or (ii) any other  occurrence
of the  nature and type of an  Unavoidable  Delay,  any local,  state or federal
agency having  jurisdiction over the operation of the Facility  removes,  in the
aggregate during any twelve (12) month period,  ten percent (10%) or more of the
patients or residents  located in the  Facility,  unless within thirty (30) days
after  notice from Lessor,  Lessee  shall have cured or  corrected  the cause or
condition  which resulted in such removal and within  forty-five (45) days after
such cure shall have replaced such patients or residents so removed;

                           (l) Lessee  fails to give  notice to Lessor not later
than fifteen (15) Business Days after Lessee's receipt thereof of any Class A or
equivalent  fine notice from any  governmental  authority  or officer  acting on
behalf thereof relating to the Facility;

                           (m) Lessee fails to notify Lessor within fifteen (15)
Business  Days  after  receipt  of  any  notice  from  any  governmental  agency
terminating  or suspending or  threatening  termination  or  suspension,  of any
material license or certification relating to the Facility;

                           (n) Lessee  fails to give  notice to Lessor not later
than  fifteen  (15)  Business  Days after any  notice,  claim or demand from any
governmental authority or any officer acting on behalf thereof, of any violation
of any law, order,  ordinance,  rule or regulation with respect to the operation
of the Facility, which violation would have a material adverse effect on Lessor,
the Facility or the operation thereof for its Primary Intended Use;

                           (o)  Lessee  fails  to cure or abate  any  Class A or
equivalent   violation  occurring  during  the  Term  that  is  claimed  by  any
governmental authority, or any officer acting

on behalf thereof, of any law, order,  ordinance,  rule or regulation pertaining
to the  operation  of the  Facility,  and  within  the  time  permitted  by such
authority for such cure or abatement,  unless (i) said violation has no material
effect on Lessor, the Facility or the operation thereof for its Primary Intended
Use and Lessee  thereafter  diligently  and in good faith  proceeds to cure such
violation  or (ii)  Lessee  is  reasonably  and in good  faith  contesting  such
violation;

                           (p) any proceedings are instituted  against Lessee by
any  governmental  authority  which are  reasonably  likely to result in (i) the
revocation of any material  license granted to Lessee which is necessary for the
operation of the Facility  for the Primary  Intended  Use, or (ii) to the extent
applicable,  the  decertification  of the  Facility  from  participation  in the
Medicare or Medicaid  reimbursement  program or the issuance of a stop placement
order against Lessee, and such proceedings are not vacated,  set aside or stayed
within sixty (60) days after the institution  thereof, but in any event prior to
the revocation of any such license and/or  decertification  of the Facility,  as
applicable;

                           (q) any  acceleration  of any  indebtedness  or other
monetary obligations of (i) Lessee in the sum of $1 Million or more has occurred
or (ii) any  Guarantor  has occurred  where the amount of such  indebtedness  or
obligation  is in excess of the lesser of (A) $10  Million  (as  adjusted by the
Consumer  Price Index to equate to constant  1996  dollars) and (B)  Twenty-Five
Percent (25%) of the Consolidated Net Worth of such Guarantor; or

                           (r) any default  shall  occur  under any  guaranty of
Lessee's  obligations  under  this Lease  (including  the  Guaranty)  where such
default is not cured within any applicable grace period set forth therein.

                  16.2  Certain  Remedies.  If an Event of  Default  shall  have
occurred,  Lessor  may  terminate  this  Lease by giving  Lessee  notice of such
termination  and the Term shall  terminate  and all rights of Lessee  under this
Lease shall cease.  Lessor shall have all rights at law and in equity  available
to Lessor as a result of any Event of Default.  Lessee  shall pay as  Additional
Charges all costs and  expenses  incurred  by or on behalf of Lessor,  including
reasonable  attorneys'  fees and  expenses,  as a result of any Event of Default
hereunder. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, whether
or not this Lease has been  terminated  pursuant to this  Section  16.2,  Lessee
shall,  to the  extent  permitted  by  law,  if  required  by  Lessor  so to do,
immediately  surrender  to Lessor  possession  of the  Leased  Property  and any
Capital  Additions  thereto  and quit the same and  Lessor  may  enter  upon and
repossess  the Leased  Property and any Capital  Addition  thereto by reasonable
force,  summary proceedings,  ejectment or otherwise,  and may remove Lessee and
all other Persons and any of Lessee's Personal Property from the Leased Property
and any Capital Addition thereto.

                  16.3  Damages.  (a) The  termination  of this  Lease;  (b) the
repossession of the Leased Property and any Capital  Addition  thereto;  (c) the
failure of Lessor,  notwithstanding  reasonable good faith efforts, to relet the
Leased Property; (d) the reletting of all or any portion of the Leased Property;
or (e) the failure or  inability of Lessor to collect or receive any rentals due
upon any such  reletting,  shall  not  relieve  Lessee  of its  liabilities  and
obligations  hereunder,  all  of  which  shall  survive  any  such  termination,
repossession  or  reletting.  If  any  such  termination  occurs,  Lessee  shall
forthwith  pay to Lessor  all Rent due and  payable  with  respect to the Leased
Property to and including the date of such  termination.  Thereafter,  following
any such termination,  Lessee shall forthwith pay to Lessor, at Lessor's option,
as and for  liquidated  and agreed  current  damages  for an Event of Default by
Lessee, the sum of:

                           (i) the worth at the time of award of the unpaid Rent
         which had been earned at the time of termination,


                                       40
<PAGE>
                           (ii) the worth at the time of award of the  amount by
         which the unpaid Rent which would have been  earned  after  termination
         until the time of award  exceeds  the amount of such  rental  loss that
         Lessee proves could have been reasonably avoided,

                           (iii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by
         which the  unpaid  Rent for the  balance  of the Term after the time of
         award  exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Lessee  proves could
         be reasonably avoided, plus

                           (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate  Lessor
         for all the detriment proximately caused by Lessee's failure to perform
         its  obligations  under this Lease or which in the  ordinary  course of
         things would be likely to result therefrom.

         As used in clauses (i) and (ii) above, the "worth at the time of award"
         shall be computed by allowing  interest at the Overdue Rate. As used in
         clause (iii) above,  the "worth at the time of award" shall be computed
         by discounting  such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve
         Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus two percent  (2%).  For
         purposes of determining the worth at the time of the award,  Additional
         Rent that would have been  payable for the  remainder of the Term shall
         be deemed to be the greater of (y) the same as the Additional  Rent for
         the then current Lease Year or, if not  determinable,  the  immediately
         preceding  Lease  Year;  and (z) such  other  amount  as  Lessor  shall
         demonstrate could reasonably have been earned.

         Alternatively,  if Lessor does not elect to terminate this Lease,  then
without  termination  of Lessee's  right to possession  of the Leased  Property,
Lessee shall pay to Lessor, at Lessor's option, as and for agreed damages for an
Event of Default, each installment of said Rent and other sums payable by Lessee
to Lessor  under the Lease as the same becomes due and  payable,  together  with
interest at the Overdue  Rate from the date when due until paid,  and Lessor may
enforce, by action or otherwise, any other term or covenant of this Lease.

                  16.4 Receiver. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and
upon  commencement  of  proceedings  to enforce the rights of Lessor  hereunder,
Lessor shall be entitled, as a matter of right, to the appointment of a receiver
or  receivers  acceptable  to  Lessor of the  Leased  Property  and any  Capital
Addition  thereto  of the  revenues,  earnings,  income,  products  and  profits
thereof, pending the outcome of such proceedings,  with such powers as the court
making such appointment shall confer.

                  16.5  Lessee's  Obligation  to Purchase.  If a Put Event shall
have occurred, then Lessor may require Lessee to purchase the Leased Property on
the first  Minimum Rent Payment  Date  occurring  not less than thirty (30) days
after the date specified in a notice from Lessor  requiring such purchase for an
amount  equal to the greater of (i) the Fair Market  Value,  or (ii) the Minimum
Repurchase  Price,  plus,  in  either  event,  all  Rent  then  due and  payable
(excluding the  installment of Minimum Rent due on the purchase date). If Lessor
exercises such right,  Lessor shall convey the Leased  Property to Lessee on the
date fixed  therefor in  accordance  with the  provisions  of Article XVIII upon
receipt of the purchase price therefor and this Lease shall thereupon terminate.
Any purchase by Lessee of the Leased Property  pursuant to this Section shall be
in lieu of the  damages  specified  in Section  16.3 and in lieu of any right to
recover  actual  damages  under the  Contract of  Acquisition  for breach of any
covenant, representation or warranty thereunder.

                  16.6 Waiver.  If Lessor initiates  judicial  proceedings or if
this Lease is terminated by Lessor pursuant to this Article,  Lessee waives,  to
the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) any right of redemption, re-entry or
repossession;  and  (ii) the  benefit  of any  laws  now or  hereafter  in force
exempting property from liability for rent or for debt.

                  16.7  Application  of Funds.  Any payments  received by Lessor
under any of the provisions of this Lease during the existence or continuance of
any Event of  Default  which are made to Lessor  rather  than  Lessee due to the
existence of an Event of Default shall be applied to Lessee's obligations in the
order which  Lessor may  determine  or as may be  prescribed  by the laws of the
State.

                  16.8  Facility  Operating  Deficiencies.  On notice or request
therefor  by Lessor to  Lessee,  upon the  occurrence  of a  Facility  Operating
Deficiency  specified with  particularity in Lessor's  notice,  and for a period
equal to the greater of six (6) months or the time necessary fully to remedy the
Facility Operating Deficiency,  Lessee shall engage the services of a management
consultant,  unaffiliated  with  Lessee and  approved  by Lessor,  to review the
management of the Facility for the purpose of making  recommendations  to remedy
the Facility  Operating  Deficiency(ies).  The management  consultant shall have
complete access to the Facility, its records,  offices and facilities,  in order
that it may carry out its duties.  Lessee shall cause such management consultant
to  prepare  and  deliver  to  Lessor  and  Lessee  a  written   report  of  its
recommendations  within thirty (30) days after its  engagement.  If Lessee shall
fail to designate a management  consultant  acceptable to Lessor within five (5)
days after receipt of the notice of request therefor,  Lessor may designate such
management  consultant by further notice to Lessee.  Lessee shall be responsible
for payment of all fees and  expenses  reasonably  charged  and  incurred by the
management  consultant  in  carrying  out  its  duties.  Lessee  shall  promptly
implement  any  and all  reasonable  recommendations  made  by  such  management
consultant  in  order  to  promptly  correct  or cure  such  Facility  Operating
Deficiency;  provided, however, that in no event shall Lessee implement any such
recommendations  if the same would otherwise cause an Event of Default hereunder
(e.g.,  a Transfer or change in use of the Leased  Property),  without  Lessor's
prior written  consent,  which consent may be given or withheld in Lessor's sole
and absolute discretion.

                  16.9     [Reserved]
                           ---------
                  16.10 Lessor's Security  Interest.  The parties intend that if
an Event of Default  occurs  under this  Lease and this Lease is  terminated  by
Lessor pursuant to Section 16.2,  Lessor will control Lessee's Personal Property
and the  Intangible  Property  so that  Lessor or its  designee  or nominee  can
operate or re-let the Leased  Property  intact  for its  Primary  Intended  Use.
Accordingly,  to implement such  intention,  and for the purpose of securing the
payment and performance obligations of Lessee hereunder, Lessor and Lessee agree
as follows:

                           16.10.1 Lessee,  as debtor,  hereby grants to Lessor,
as secured party, a security  interest and an express  contractual lien upon all
of Lessee's right,  title and interest in and to Lessee's  Personal Property and
in and to the Intangible Property and any and all products,  rents, proceeds and
profits  thereof in which Lessee now owns or  hereafter  acquires an interest or
right, including any leased Lessee's Personal Property. This Lease constitutes a
security  agreement  covering  all  such  Lessee's  Personal  Property  and  the
Intangible  Property.  The security  interest  granted to Lessor with respect to
Lessee's  Personal  Property  in this  Section  16.10 is  intended by Lessor and
Lessee to be subordinate to any security interest granted in connection with the
financing or leasing of all or any portion of the Lessee's  Personal Property so
long as the lessor or financier of such  Lessee's  Personal  Property  agrees to
give  Lessor  written  notice of any  default by Lessee  under the terms of such
lease or financing arrangement,  to give Lessor a reasonable time following such
notice to cure any such default and consents to Lessor's  written  assumption of
such lease or financing  arrangement  upon Lessor's curing of any such defaults.
This security  agreement and the security  interest created herein shall survive
the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

<PAGE>

                           16.10.2 If  required by Lessor at any time during the
Term,   Lessee  shall  execute  and  deliver  to  Lessor,   in  form  reasonably
satisfactory to Lessor,  additional security agreements,  financing  statements,
fixture  filings and such other  documents as Lessor may  reasonably  require to
perfect or continue the  perfection  of Lessor's  security  interest in Lessee's
Personal  Property  and the  Intangible  Property  and any and all  products and
proceeds  thereof now owned or acquired by Lessee.  In the event Lessee fails to
execute  any  financing  statement  or other  documents  for the  perfection  or
continuation  of Lessor's  security  interest,  such  failure  shall,  after any
applicable  notice and cure period set forth in Section 16.1 above, be deemed an
Event of Default hereunder.

                           16.10.3 Upon the  occurrence  of an Event of Default,
Lessor shall be entitled to exercise any and all rights or remedies available to
a secured  party under the Uniform  Commercial  Code,  or  available to a lessor
under the laws of the State,  with respect to Lessee's Personal Property and the
Intangible  Property,  including the right to sell the same at public or private
sale.

                  17. Lessor's Right to Cure Lessee's  Default.  If Lessee shall
fail to make any payment or to perform any act  required to be made or performed
hereunder,  Lessor,  without waiving or releasing any obligation or default, may
after written  notice to Lessee,  but shall be under no obligation to, make such
payment or perform  such act for the account  and at the expense of Lessee,  and
may, to the extent  permitted  by law,  enter upon the Leased  Property  and any
Capital  Addition  thereto for such purpose and take all such action thereon as,
in Lessor's  opinion,  may be necessary or appropriate  therefor.  No such entry
shall be deemed an eviction of Lessee.  All sums so paid by Lessor and all costs
and expenses,  including reasonable  attorneys' fees and expenses,  so incurred,
together with  interest  thereon at the Overdue Rate from the date on which such
sums or  expenses  are paid or  incurred  by Lessor,  shall be paid by Lessee to
Lessor on demand.

                                 ARTICLE XVIII.
                                 --------------

                  18. Purchase of the Leased  Property.  If Lessee purchases the
Leased  Property  from  Lessor,  Lessor  shall,  upon receipt from Lessee of the
applicable purchase price, together with full payment of any unpaid Rent due and
payable with respect to any period ending on or before the date of the purchase,
deliver to Lessee an appropriate deed or other  conveyance  conveying the entire
interest of Lessor in and to the Leased Property to Lessee free and clear of all
encumbrances  other than (i) those that  Lessee has agreed  hereunder  to pay or
discharge; (ii) those mortgage liens, if any, which Lessee has agreed in writing
to accept and to take title subject to; (iii) those liens and encumbrances which
were in effect on the date of conveyance of the Leased  Property to Lessor;  and
(iv) any other  encumbrances  permitted  hereunder  to be  imposed on the Leased
Property  which are  assumable  at no cost to Lessee or to which Lessee may take
subject  without  cost to Lessee.  Lessee  shall  receive a credit  against  the
applicable  purchase  price for the total of the  encumbrances  assumed or taken
subject to and the  difference  between the  applicable  purchase  price and the
total of such  encumbrances  assumed or taken subject to shall be paid to Lessor
or as Lessor may direct in  immediately  available  funds.  All expenses of such
conveyance,  including the cost of title insurance,  reasonable  attorneys' fees
incurred by Lessor in  connection  with such  conveyance  and release,  transfer
taxes and recording and escrow fees, shall be paid by Lessee.

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

                  19.1 Renewal  TermsRenewal  Terms.  Provided  that no Event of
Default,  or event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute
an Event of  Default,  has  occurred  and is  continuing,  either at the date of
exercise or upon the  commencement  of an Extended Term (as hereunder  defined),
then  Lessee  shall  have the right to renew  this  Lease  for two (2)  ten-year
renewal  terms (each,  an "Extended  Term),  upon (i) giving  written  notice to
Lessor of such  renewal  not less than  eighteen  (18)  months and not more than
twenty-one (21) months prior to the expiration of the then current Term and (ii)
the  Lessee  under  each  other  Facility  Group  Lease  concurrently  therewith
exercises  its right to renew such  Facility  Group Lease for the  corresponding
Extended  Term in the manner and within the time provided in Article XIX of such
Facility Group Lease. During each Extended Term, all of the terms and conditions
of this Lease  shall  continue  in full force and effect  except that the annual
Minimum Rent for and during such  Extended  Term shall be the greater of (a) the
then  current  annual Fair  Market  Rental for the Leased  Property  and (b) the
annual Minimum Rent and  Additional  Rent payable for the last Lease Year of the
immediately preceding Term.

                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 19.1,
Lessor,  in its sole  discretion,  may waive the condition to Lessee's  right to
renew this Lease that no Event of Default,  or event which, with notice or lapse
of time or both,  would  constitute  an Event of  Default,  have  occurred or be
continuing,  and the same may not be used by  Lessee  as a means to  negate  the
effectiveness of Lessee's exercise of its renewal right for such Extended Term.

                  19.2  Lessor's  Rights of Renewal  and Early  Termination.  In
order to  facilitate  the transfer of the  operations of the Facility to a third
party  and/or to locate a  replacement  lessee,  Lessor  shall have the one time
right to either (i)  terminate  this  Lease up to four (4) months  early or (ii)
extend  the Term of this  Lease for up to four (4)  months.  Such right of early
termination  shall be  exercised  by Lessor,  if at all, by written  notice from
Lessor to Lessee  given not less than  ninety (90) days prior to the date Lessor
desires to terminate this Lease and stating the date of such termination  (which
date shall not be earlier  than four (4) months prior to the  expiration  of the
Term).  In the event that Lessor shall exercise such right of early  termination
within the time and in the manner herein provided, this Lease shall terminate on
the date of termination  specified in Lessor's  notice.  Such right of extension
shall be exercised by Lessor, if at all, by written notice from Lessor to Lessee
given not less  than four (4)  months  prior to the  expiration  of the Term and
stating the date through which Lessor is extending the Term of this Lease (which
date  shall not be later  than four (4) months  after the  originally  scheduled
expiration  date).  In the  event  that  Lessor  shall  exercise  such  right of
extension,  all of the terms and conditions of this Lease shall continue in full
force and effect  and  Lessee  shall  continue  to pay Rent for and during  such
extension  period at the same Minimum Rent and Additional  Rent rates as were in
effect upon the expiration of the originally scheduled Term; provided,  however,
that  Lessor  shall  have the right to  terminate  this  Lease  during  any such
extension  period upon not less than thirty  (30) days prior  written  notice to
Lessee. In such event, this Lease, as previously extended,  shall terminate upon
the date specified in Lessor's notice of termination.

                  20.  Holding  Over.  Except as  provided in Section  19.2,  if
Lessee shall for any reason remain in possession  of the Leased  Property  after
the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, such possession shall be as a
month-to-month  tenant  during  which time Lessee shall pay as Minimum Rent each
month twice the sum of (i) monthly  Minimum Rent  applicable  to the prior Lease
Year, plus (ii) one-twelfth of the aggregate  Additional Rent payable applicable
to the prior Lease Year, together with all Additional Charges and all other sums
payable by Lessee pursuant to this Lease.  During such period of  month-to-month
tenancy,  Lessee  shall be  obligated  to perform  and observe all of the terms,
covenants and conditions of this Lease, but shall have no rights hereunder other
than the  right,  to the extent  given by law to  month-to-month  tenancies,  to
continue its occupancy and use of the Leased Property.  Nothing contained herein
shall constitute the consent,  express or implied, of Lessor to the holding over
of Lessee after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

                  21.1  Letters of Credit.  During the entire Term and for sixty
(60) days after the  expiration  or earlier  termination  of this Lease,  Lessee
shall have obtained letters of credit from a financial institution  satisfactory
to Lessor  but in any event with (a) not less than $100  Million in net  assets,
(b) a financial  rating of not less than 60 as rated by  Sheshonoff  Information
Services,  Inc.  (or  any  equivalent  rating  thereto  from  any  successor  or
substitute rating service selected by Lessor) and (c) an investment grade rating
from each of  Standard  and Poors  Corporation  and Moody's  Investors  Service,
naming  Lessor as  beneficiary  to secure  Lessee's  obligations  hereunder  and
Lessee's  and any  Affiliate  of Lessee's  obligations  under any other lease or
other  agreement or  instrument  with or in favor of Lessor or any  Affiliate of
Lessor  (including any other Facility Group Lease), at the times, in the amounts
and for the  purposes  set  forth  below.  Each  letter  of  credit  shall be in
substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto. Each letter of credit shall be for a
term of not less than one (1) year and irrevocable during that term. Each letter
of credit  shall  provide  that it will be honored  upon a signed  statement  by
Lessor  that  Lessor is  entitled  to draw upon the letter of credit  under this
Lease,  and shall  require no signature  or statement  from any party other than
Lessor.  No notice to Lessee shall be required to enable Lessor to draw upon the
letter of credit.  Each letter of credit shall also provide that  following  the
honor of any drafts in an amount less than the aggregate amount of the letter of
credit, the financial  institution shall return the original letter of credit to
Lessor and Lessor's  rights as to the  remaining  amount of the letter of credit
will not be extinguished. In the event of a transfer of Lessor's interest in the
Leased Property, Lessor shall have the right to transfer the letter of credit to
the transferee and thereupon shall,  without any further  agreement  between the
parties,  be released by Lessee from all  liability  therefor,  and it is agreed
that the  provisions  hereof shall apply to every  transfer or assignment of the
letter of credit to a new  Lessor.  The  letter  of credit  may be  assigned  as
security in connection with a Facility  Mortgage.  If the financial  institution
from which  Lessee has  obtained a letter of credit  shall  admit in writing its
inability  to pay its debts  generally  as they become  due,  file a petition in
bankruptcy  or a petition  to take  advantage  of any  insolvency  act,  make an
assignment  for the benefit of its  creditors  consent to the  appointment  of a
receiver of itself or of the whole or any substantial  part of its property,  or
file a  petition  or answer  seeking  reorganization  or  arrangement  under the
Federal  bankruptcy  laws or any other  applicable  law or statute of the United
States of America or any state  thereof,  then Lessee shall obtain a replacement
letter of credit  within  thirty  (30) days of such act from  another  financial
institution satisfactory to Lessor.

                  21.2 Times for Obtaining  Letters of CreditTimes for Obtaining
Letters of Credit.  The initial letter of credit shall be obtained and delivered
to Lessor prior to or contemporaneous with the Commencement Date.

The  letters  of  credit  covering  subsequent  periods  shall be  obtained  and
delivered  to Lessor not less than thirty (30) days prior to the  expiration  of
the then existing letter of credit ("Letter of Credit Date").  The term for each
such  letter of credit  shall  begin no later  than the  expiration  date of the
previous letter of credit.

                  21.3 Amounts for Letters of Credit. Letters of credit covering
the first  Lease  Year  shall be in an amount  equal to  one-third  (1/3) of the
annual Minimum Rent payable by Lessee under this Lease for the applicable  Lease
Year.  The  letters of credit  covering  subsequent  Lease  Years shall be in an
amount  equal to  one-third  (1/3) of the sum of the  annual  Minimum  Rent plus
Lessor's  reasonable estimate of the Additional Rent to be payable by Lessee for
the applicable Lease Year.

                  21.4 Uses of Letters of Credit. Lessor shall have the right to
draw upon a letter of credit up to its full amount  whenever an Event of Default
has occurred or an event of default  under any other lease or agreement  between
Lessor or an Affiliate of Lessor and Lessee or an Affiliate of Lessee (including
under any other  Facility  Group  Lease)  or under any other  letter of  credit,
guaranty,  mortgage, deed of trust, or other instrument executed by Lessee or an
Affiliate of Lessee in favor of Lessor or an  Affiliate of Lessor has  occurred;
provided  further,  if Lessee  fails to obtain a  satisfactory  letter of credit
prior to the  applicable  Letter of Credit  Date,  Lessor may draw upon the full
amount of the then existing  letter of credit  without giving any notice or time
to cure to  Lessee.  No such draw  shall (i) cure or  constitute  a waiver of an
Event of Default, (ii) be deemed to fix or determine the amounts to which Lessor
is  entitled  to recover  under this Lease or  otherwise,  or (iii) be deemed to
limit or waive Lessor's right to pursue any remedies provided for in this Lease.
If all or any portion of a letter of credit is drawn  against by Lessor,  Lessee
shall, within two (2) business days after demand by Lessor,  cause the issuer of
such letter of credit to issue Lessor,  at Lessee's  expense,  a replacement  or
supplementary  letter of credit in  substantially  the form  attached  hereto as
Exhibit D such that at all times during the Term,  Lessor shall have the ability
to draw on one or more letters of credit totalling, in the aggregate, the amount
required pursuant to Section 21.3.

enjoyment and  beneficial  use of the Leased  Property as a  consequence  of the
damage or destruction thereof by fire, the elements,  casualties, thefts, riots,
wars or otherwise,  or in consequence of  foreclosures,  attachments,  levies or
executions  (other than by Lessor and Persons  claiming  from,  through or under
Lessor)  is assumed by Lessee,  and no such event  shall  entitle  Lessee to any
abatement of Rent.

                  23.  General   Indemnification.   In  addition  to  the  other
indemnities contained herein, and notwithstanding the existence of any insurance
carried by or for the  benefit of Lessor or Lessee,  and  without  regard to the
policy  limits of any such  insurance,  Lessee shall  protect,  indemnify,  save
harmless  and defend  Lessor  from and  against  all  liabilities,  obligations,
claims,  damages,  penalties,  causes of action,  costs and expenses,  including
reasonable attorneys', consultants' and experts' fees and expenses, imposed upon
or incurred by or asserted against Lessor by reason of: (i) any accident, injury
to or death of Persons or loss of or damage to  property  occurring  on or about
the Leased  Property or  adjoining  sidewalks;  (ii) any use,  misuse,  non-use,
condition,  maintenance  or repair by Lessee of the Leased  Property;  (iii) any
failure on the part of Lessee to perform or comply with any of the terms of this
Lease;  (iv) the  non-performance  of any of the terms and provisions of any and
all existing and future subleases of the Leased Property entered into during the
Term to be performed  by any party  thereunder;  (v) any claim for  malpractice,
negligence or  misconduct  committed by any Person on or working from the Leased
Property; and (vi) the violation of any Legal Requirement.

                  Notwithstanding  the existence of any insurance  carried by or
for the benefit of Lessor or Lessee,  and without regard to the policy limits of
any such insurance,  Lessor shall protect,  indemnify,  save harmless and defend
Lessee  from  and  against  all  liabilities,   obligations,   claims,  damages,
penalties,   causes  of  action,   costs  and  expenses,   including  reasonable
attorneys', consultants' and experts' fees and expenses imposed upon or incurred
by or asserted  against  Lessee as a result of the gross  negligence  or willful
misconduct of Lessor, its employees, agents or contractors.

                  Any amounts  which  become  payable by Lessee or Lessor  under
this  Article  shall be paid  within ten (10) days after  liability  therefor is
determined  by  litigation  or  otherwise,  and if not  timely  paid  shall bear
interest at the Overdue Rate from the date of such  determination to the date of
payment.  Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall contest, resist and defend
any such claim,  action or proceeding  asserted or instituted against Lessor for
which Lessee is obligated to indemnity  Lessor  hereunder or may  compromise  or
otherwise dispose of the same as Lessee sees fit;  provided,  however,  that any
legal  counsel   selected  by  Lessee  to  defend  Lessor  shall  be  reasonably
satisfactory  to Lessor.  Lessor,  at its sole cost and expense,  shall contest,
resist and defend any such claim,  action or  proceeding  asserted or instituted
against  Lessee for which Lessor is obligated to indemnify  Lessee  hereunder or
may  compromise or otherwise  dispose of the same as Lessor sees fit;  provided,
however,  that any legal  counsel  selected by Lessor to defend  Lessee shall be
reasonably satisfactory to Lessee. All indemnification covenants are intended to
apply to losses,  damages,  injuries,  claims,  etc.  incurred  directly  by the
indemnified parties and their property,  as well as by the indemnifying party or
third party, and their property. For purposes of this Article XXIII, any acts or
omissions  of  Lessee,  or  by  employees,   agents,   assignees,   contractors,
subcontractors  or others acting for or on behalf of Lessee (whether or not they
are negligent, intentional, willful or unlawful), shall be strictly attributable
to Lessee.  It is  understood  and agreed that payment  shall not be a condition
precedent to enforcement of the foregoing indemnification obligations.

                           24.1 Prohibition.  Except as provided in Section 24.9
below,  Lessee shall not, without  Lessor's prior written consent,  which may be
withheld in Lessor's sole and absolute discretion, either directly or indirectly
or through one or more step transactions or tiered transactions,  voluntarily or
by operation of law, (i) assign, convey, sell, pledge, mortgage,  hypothecate or
otherwise  encumber,  transfer  or  dispose  of all or any part of this Lease or
Lessee's leasehold estate hereunder, (ii) Master Sublease all or any part of the
Leased Property and/or any Capital  Additions,  (iii) engage the services of any
Person for the management or operation of all or any part of the Leased Property
and/or any Capital Additions,  (iv) convey, sell, assign, transfer or dispose of
any stock or  partnership,  membership  or other  interests  (whether  equity or
otherwise)  in Lessee  (which shall include any  conveyance,  sale,  assignment,
transfer  or  disposition  of any  stock  or  partnership,  membership  or other
interests (whether equity or otherwise) in any Related Lessee Persons),  if such
conveyance, sale, assignment,  transfer or other disposition results in a change
in control of Lessee (or any Related  Lessee  Person) from the Person(s)  owning
fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting securities,  partnership  interests or
other equity  interests in Lessee (or any Related  Lessee Person) prior thereto,
(v) dissolve,  merge or consolidate Lessee (which shall include any dissolution,
merger or consolidation of any Related Lessee Person) with any other Person,  if
such dissolution, merger or consolidation, directly or indirectly or through one
or more step transactions or tiered transactions, results in a change in control
of Lessee (or in any Related  Lessee  Person)  from the  Person(s)  owning fifty
percent (50%) or more of the voting securities,  partnership  interests or other
equity interests in Lessee (or any Related Lessee Person) prior thereto, or (vi)
sell,  convey,  assign or  otherwise  transfer all or  substantially  all of the
assets of Lessee (which shall include any sale, conveyance,  assignment or other
transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of any Related Lessee Person)
(each of the  aforesaid  acts  referred  to in clauses  (i)  through  (vi) being
referred to herein as a "Transfer").  Any Occupancy  Arrangement with respect to
more than fifteen percent (15%) of the Facility to any Person or its Affiliates,
directly  or  indirectly,  or through  one or more step  transactions  or tiered
transactions,  shall be  deemed  to be a "Master  Sublease"  hereunder.  For any
Occupancy Arrangement  transaction not requiring the consent of Lessor hereunder
(i.e., an Occupancy  Arrangement  not  constituting a Master  Sublease),  Lessee
shall,  within ten (10) days of entering  into any such  Occupancy  Arrangement,
notify Lessor of the existence of such Occupancy Arrangement and the identity of
the Occupant  and supply  Lessor with a copy of the  agreement  relating to such
Occupancy  Arrangement  and  any  other  related  documentation,   materials  or
information reasonably requested by Lessor.

                  24.2 Consent. Prior to any Transfer, Lessee shall first notify
Lessor of its desire to do so and shall  submit in  writing  to Lessor:  (i) the
name of the proposed Occupant,  assignee, manager or other transferee;  (ii) the
terms and  provisions  of the Transfer,  including any  agreements in connection
therewith; and (iii) such financial information as Lessor reasonably may request
concerning the proposed Occupant, assignee, manager or other transferee. Without
limiting  Lessor's absolute and unequivocal right to impose any other conditions
to granting its consent to a Transfer hereunder, Lessor may:

                                    (a)  require  that  the  obligations  of any
Occupant, assignee, manager or other transferee which is an Affiliate of another
Person be guaranteed by its parent or  controlling  Person and that any Guaranty
of this Lease be reaffirmed by any Guarantor notwithstanding such Transfer.

                           (b) with respect to any such Transfer  constituting a
Master


                                       48
<PAGE>
Sublease,  require  Lessee to pay to Lessor one  hundred  percent  (100%) of all
Transfer Consideration (defined below).  "Transfer Consideration" shall mean the
positive difference, if any, between the Fair Market Rental and the Rent payable
by Lessee determined on a monthly basis, prorating the Rent, as appropriate,  if
less than all of the Facility is Master Subleased. The difference for each month
shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor monthly when the Minimum Rent is due.

                           (c) with  respect  to any  other  Transfer  (i.e.,  a
Transfer  other than pursuant to a Master  Sublease),  require  Lessee to pay to
Lessor one hundred  percent  (100%) of the gross fair  market  value of Lessee's
leasehold interest (the "Leasehold FMV"),  determined by appraisal in accordance
with the appraisal procedures set forth in Article XXXIV, excluding any business
value in excess of real estate value.

The  consent by Lessor to any  Transfer  shall not  constitute  a consent to any
subsequent Transfer or to any subsequent or successive  Transfer.  Any purported
or attempted Transfer contrary to the provisions of this Article shall be void.

                           24.3  Attornment  and Related  Matters Any  Occupancy
Arrangement  (whether or not the same  constitutes a Master  Sublease)  shall be
expressly subject and subordinate to all applicable terms and conditions of this
Lease and provide that Lessor,  at its option and without any  obligation  to do
so, may require any  Occupant to attorn to Lessor,  in which event  Lessor shall
undertake the obligations of Lessee,  as sublessor,  licensor or otherwise under
such Occupancy  Arrangement  from the time of the exercise of such option to the
termination of such Occupancy  Arrangement  and in such case Lessor shall not be
liable for any prepaid rents,  fees or other charges or for any prepaid security
deposits  paid by such  Occupant  to Lessee or for any other  prior  defaults of
Lessee  under such  Occupancy  Arrangement.  In the event that Lessor  shall not
require such  attornment  with respect to any Occupancy  Arrangement,  then such
Occupancy  Arrangement  shall  automatically  terminate  upon the  expiration or
earlier  termination  of this Lease,  including any early  termination by mutual
agreement of Lessor and Lessee. Furthermore,  any Occupancy Arrangement or other
agreement  regarding  a Transfer  shall  expressly  provide  that the  Occupant,
assignee,  manager or other  transferee shall furnish Lessor with such financial
and operational  information and information about the physical condition of the
Facility,  including the information  required by Section 25.2 herein, as Lessor
may request from time to time.

                           24.4 [Reserved]

                           24.5  Costs.   Lessee  shall  reimburse   Lessor  for
Lessor's  reasonable  costs  and  expenses  incurred  in  conjunction  with  the
processing and documentation of any request to Transfer,  including  attorneys',
architects',  engineers' or other consultants' fees whether or not such Transfer
is actually consummated.

                           24.6 No Release of Lessee's Obligations.  No Transfer
shall relieve Lessee of its obligation to pay the Rent and to perform all of the
other obligations to be performed by Lessee  hereunder.  The liability of Lessee
named herein and any immediate and remote successor in interest of Lessee (i.e.,
by means of any Transfer),  and the due  performance of the  obligations of this
Lease on Lessee's  part to be  performed  or  observed,  shall not in any way be
discharged,  released or impaired by any (i) agreement which modifies any of the
rights or obligations of the parties under this Lease (provided,  however,  that
the same shall not be binding  upon  Lessee  unless  agreed or  consented  to in
writing by Lessee)  (ii)  stipulation  which  extends the time  within  which an
obligation under this Lease is to be performed,  (iii) waiver of the performance
of an obligation  required  under this Lease,  or (iv) failure to enforce any of
the obligations set forth in this Lease. If any Occupant, assignee,


                                       49
<PAGE>
manager or other  transferee  defaults in any performance due hereunder,  Lessor
may proceed  directly  against the Lessee named herein  and/or any immediate and
remote  successor in interest of Lessee without  exhausting its remedies against
such Occupant, assignee, manager or other transferee.

                           24.7  REIT  Protection.  Anything  contained  in this
Lease to the contrary  notwithstanding,  (i) no Transfer shall be consummated on
any basis  such that the  rental or other  amounts  to be paid by the  Occupant,
assignee,  manager or other transferee thereunder would be based, in whole or in
part,  on the  income or  profits  derived  by the  business  activities  of the
Occupant,  assignee, manager or other transferee;  (ii) Lessee shall not furnish
or render any services to the Occupant, assignee, manager or other transferee or
manage or operate the Leased  Property so  Transferred;  (iii)  Lessee shall not
Transfer to any Person in which Lessor owns an interest,  directly or indirectly
(by applying constructive  ownership rules set forth in Section 856(d)(5) of the
Code);  or (iv) Lessee  shall not Transfer in any other manner which could cause
any  portion of the  amounts  received  by Lessor  pursuant to this Lease or any
Occupancy  Arrangement to fail to qualify as "rents from real  property"  within
the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision
thereto or which  could  cause any other  income of Lessor to fail to qualify as
income described in Section 856(c)(2) of the Code.

                           24.8  Transfers  In  Bankruptcy.  In the  event  of a
Transfer  pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy  Code, all  consideration
payable or otherwise to be delivered in connection  with such Transfer  shall be
paid or  delivered  to Lessor,  shall be and remain the  exclusive  property  of
Lessor and shall not  constitute  property  of Lessee or of the estate of Lessee
within the  meaning  of the  Bankruptcy  Code.  Any  consideration  constituting
Lessor's property pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence and not paid or
delivered  to Lessor  shall be held in trust for the  benefit  of Lessor  and be
promptly  paid or delivered to Lessor.  For purposes of this Section  24.8,  the
term  "consideration"  shall  have the same  meaning  given to such  term in the
definition  of Fair Market  Rental as provided in Article I above.  In the event
any such  consideration  is other  than  cash,  the  fair  market  value of such
consideration shall be paid or delivered to Lessor in cash.

Notwithstanding  anything to the  contrary in Section  24.1,  but subject to the
provisions  of Section  24.7 above,  Lessor's  consent  shall not be required in
connection with and the provisions of Section 24.2 above shall not apply to, any
Transfer to an Affiliate of Lessee,  including  any  assignment of this Lease or
any Master Sublease of the Leased  Property to any Affiliate of Lessee,  so long
as in connection therewith, each of the following conditions is met:

                           (a) In  connection  with such  Transfer,  there is no
change in the use of the Leased  Property  from the Primary  Intended Use except
for a change in use to another Permitted Use as herein provided;

                           (b) Except in the case of a Transfer  resulting  from
merger or  consolidation  as to which Lessee is not the  surviving  party and in
which the transferee  assumes the obligations of Lessee hereunder as a matter of
law,  any  Affiliate-transferee  shall assume all of the  obligations  of Lessee
hereunder  accruing  subsequent to the effective date of such Transfer and by an
instrument in writing in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor. A
copy of such  executed  assumption  shall be  delivered to Lessor along with the
notice specified in clause (e) below;

                           (c) Any  Master  Subletting  shall be  subject to the
provisions of Section 24.3 above.

                           (d) Neither  the  original  Lessee nor any  Guarantor
shall be  released  from  any of the  obligations  of the  Lessee  hereunder  or
Guarantor  under the Guaranty (or any other  guaranty),  as applicable,  whether
occurring prior to or after the effective date of such Transfer;

                           (e) Within ten (10) days after the  effectiveness  of
such  Transfer,  Lessee shall notify Lessor in writing of the occurrence of such
event,  the  effective  date  thereof,  the facts  placing  the same  within the
provisions of this Section 24.9.1 (including the relationship between Lessee and
such  Affiliate-transferee) and any other change in the address for billings and
notices to Lessee pursuant to this Lease, accompanied by an executed copy of the
assumption or Master Sublease (if any) required pursuant to this Lease.

                           24.9.2    Public     Offering;     Public    Trading.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 24.1, Lessor's consent shall
not be required in connection  with and the provisions of Section 24.2 shall not
apply to any  transfer  of any  stock of  Lessee  or ILC as a result of a public
offering of Lessee's  or ILC's  stock which (a)  constitutes  a bona fide public
distribution of such stock pursuant to a firm commitment  underwriting or a plan
of distribution  registered  under the Securities Act of 1933 and (b) results in
such stock being  listed for trading on the American  Stock  Exchange or the New
York Stock  Exchange or authorized for quotation on the NASDAQ  National  Market
immediately upon the completion of such public offering. In addition, so long as
such  stock is  listed  for  trading  on any such  exchange  or  authorized  for
quotation  on such  market,  the  transfer  or  exchange of such stock over such
exchange  or market  shall not be deemed a  Transfer  hereunder  unless the same
(whether in one transaction or in any step or series of transactions) results in
a change in control of Lessee or ILC (including  pursuant to a tender or similar
offer to acquire the outstanding and issued securities of such entity).

                           24.9.3 ILC.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in Section 24.1,  but subject to the  provisions  of Section 24.7 above,  Lessor
shall  consent to any Transfer  resulting  from (a) a sale or transfer of all or
substantially all of the outstanding  capital stock of ILC or a sale or transfer
of all or  substantially  all of the  assets  of ILC,  in each  case to a single
purchaser or transferee in a single  transaction or (b) a merger,  consolidation
or stock  exchange  to which  ILC is a party,  so long as each of the  following
conditions is met:

                                            (i) The  Consolidated  Net  Worth of
the purchaser or  transferee  resulting  from a Transfer  pursuant to clause (a)
above or the surviving  party  resulting from a Transfer  pursuant to clause (b)
above, as the case may be, immediately following the effectiveness of such event
shall be equal to or greater  than the greater of (A) $55  Million (as  adjusted
pursuant to the Cost of Living Index to equate to constant 1996 dollars) and (B)
the lesser of (1) the  Consolidated  Net Worth of ILC  immediately  prior to the
effectiveness  of such event and (2) $100 Million (as  adjusted  pursuant to the
Cost of Living Index to equate to constant 1996 dollars).

                                            (ii) The debt to equity ratio of the
purchaser or transferee  resulting from a Transfer  pursuant to clause (a) above
or the surviving party  resulting from a Transfer  pursuant to clause (b) above,
as the case may be, immediately  following the effectiveness of such event shall
not be greater  than the debt to equity  ratio of ILC  immediately  prior to the
effectiveness  of such event.  For  purposes of this clause  (ii),  "debt" shall
include the capitalized  value of any operating  leases to which ILC and/or such
transferee or surviving  entity  (and/or their  consolidated  Subsidiaries)  are
parties and the same


                                       51
<PAGE>
shall be demonstrated by financial  statements  prepared in accordance with GAAP
and reasonably satisfactory to Lessor.

                                            (iii) The  purchaser  or  transferee
resulting from a Transfer  pursuant to clause (a) above or the other party(s) to
the  Transfer  pursuant  to clause  (b)  above,  as the case may be,  shall have
sufficient  operating  experience  and history with respect to a business of the
nature,  type and size of the  business  of ILC as the same  exists  immediately
prior to the  effectiveness  of such event, as reasonably  determined by Lessor.
Such  purchaser or transferee or other party to such  Transfer,  as the case may
be, shall be deemed to have  "sufficient  operating  experience and history" if,
(A) immediately prior to the  effectiveness of such Transfer,  such purchaser or
transferee  or other  party,  as the case may be,  operated or managed  (whether
directly or through its operating  Subsidiary(ies)),  facilities of the type and
of a number  equal to or  greater  than the  number of the  facilities  operated

be deemed to have been in business since June 30, 1996.

                                            (iv)   Except   in  the  case  of  a
Transfer as to which such  transferee  or purchaser or surviving  party,  as the
case may be,  assumes the  obligations  of ILC under the Guaranty as a matter of
law,  such  transferee  or  purchaser  or  surviving  party shall  execute a new
guaranty for this Lease  consistent in form and substance with the Guaranty,  in
which event ILC shall  automatically be relieved of any of its obligations under
the Guaranty accruing after the effective date of such Transfer.

                  25.1 Officer's Certificate.  At any time and from time to time
upon Lessee's  receipt of not less than twenty (20) days' prior written  request
by Lessor,  Lessee shall furnish to Lessor an Officer's  Certificate  certifying

responses to such other questions or statements of fact as Lessor, any ground or
underlying  lessor,  any  purchaser  or  any  current  or  prospective  Facility

the contrary by Lessor;  (y) Lessor is not in default in the  performance of any
covenant,  agreement  or condition  contained  in this Lease;  and (z) the other

any current or prospective  Facility  Mortgagee,  ground or underlying lessor or
purchaser of the Leased  Property.  Lessee shall not be required to deliver such
certificate more than four (4) times per Lease Year.

         knowledge and belief after making due inquiry, Lessee is not in default
         in the  performance or observance of any of the terms of this Lease, or
         if Lessee shall be in default, specifying all such defaults, the nature
         thereof, and the steps being taken to remedy the same;

                                    (c)  within  forty-five  (45) days after the

         15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934;

                                    (f)  within  five (5)  Business  Days  after

                                    (g) to the extent  available  to  customers,
         depositors,  shareholders or the public,  within 150 days after the end
         of each fiscal year of the financial  institution issuing the letter of
         credit  required under Article XXI, a copy of the audited  consolidated
         balance  sheets  of such  financial  institution  as of the end of such
         fiscal year, and related unaudited  consolidated  statements of income,
         changes in common  stock and other  stockholders  equity and changes in
         the  financial   position  of  such  financial   institution   and  its
         consolidated  subsidiaries  for each  such  fiscal  year,  prepared  in
         accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles applied on a
         basis  consistently  maintained  throughout the period  involved,  such
         consolidated   financial  statements  to  be  certified  by  nationally
         recognized certified public accountants. Lessee shall be deemed to have
         satisfied its obligations under this clause (g) if Lessee shall request
         in writing to such financial  institution  that Lessor be placed on the
         distribution  list of such financial  institution  for delivery of such
         financial statements;

                                    (h)  within  five (5)  Business  Days  after
         Lessee's receipt thereof,  copies of all claims,  reports,  complaints,
         notices,  warnings  or asserted  violations  relating in any way to the
         Leased Property or Lessee's use thereof; and

                                    (i) with reasonable  promptness,  such other
         information  respecting (i) the financial and operational condition and
         affairs of Lessee and the Facility,  (ii) the physical condition of the
         Leased  Property  and  any  Capital  Addition  thereto  and  (iii)  any
         suspected  Transfer,  including the then equity or voting  ownership in
         Lessee or in any Related Lessee Person (as defined in Article XXIV), in
         each  case  as  Lessor  may  reasonably  request,  in  the  form  of  a
         questionnaire or otherwise, from time to time.

                           25.3 Charges. Lessee acknowledges that the failure to
         furnish Lessor with any of the  certificates or statements  required by
         this  Article  XXV will cause  Lessor to incur costs and  expenses  not
         contemplated hereunder, the exact amount of which is presently


                                       54
<PAGE>
anticipated to be extremely difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, if Lessee fails
to furnish Lessor with any of the  certificates  or statements  required by this
Article XXV, Lessee shall pay to Lessor upon demand $1,000 for each such failure
as Additional Charges.  The parties agree that this charge represents a fair and
reasonable  estimate  of the costs that  Lessor will incur by reason of Lessee's
failure to furnish  Lessor  with such  certificates  and  statements;  provided,
however,  that with respect to the first (only)  occurrence when Lessee fails to
furnish Lessor with any such  certificate  or statement  required by Article XXV
during  any  Lease  Year,  Lessee  shall  not be  required  to pay  such  $1,000
additional  charge  thereon if Lessee  delivers  the  certificate  or  statement
required  within five (5)  Business  Days after  receipt of written  notice from
Lessor of Lessee's failure to deliver the same.

                                  ARTICLE XXVI.
                                  -------------

                  26.  Lessor's  Right to Inspect and Show the Leased  Property.
Upon not less than  twenty-four  (24)  hours'  prior  written  notice to Lessee,
Lessee shall permit Lessor and its authorized representatives to (i) inspect the
Leased  Property and any Capital  Addition  thereto and (ii) exhibit the same to
prospective  purchasers  and lenders,  and during the last twelve (12) months of
the Term, to  prospective  lessees or managers,  in each  instance  during usual
business  hours  and  subject  to any  reasonable  security,  health,  safety or
confidentiality  requirements  of Lessee or any Legal  Requirement  or Insurance
Requirement.  Lessee shall  reasonably  cooperate  with Lessor in exhibiting the
Leased  Property and any Capital  Additions  thereto to prospective  purchasers,
lenders,  lessees and managers. Any such access to the Leased Property by Lessor
pursuant to this  Article  shall be  conducted  by Lessor in a manner that shall
interfere  with  Lessee's   business  at  the  Leased   Property  as  little  as
practicable.

                                 ARTICLE XXVII.
                                 --------------

                  27. No Waiver.  No failure by Lessor to insist upon the strict
performance  of any term  hereof  or to  exercise  any  right,  power or  remedy
hereunder  and no  acceptance  of full or  partial  payment  of Rent  during the
continuance of any default or Event of Default shall  constitute a waiver of any
such breach or of any such term.  No waiver of any breach  shall affect or alter
this Lease,  which shall  continue in full force and effect with  respect to any
other then existing or subsequent breach.

                                 ARTICLE XXVIII.
                                 ---------------

                  28. Remedies Cumulative.  Each legal, equitable or contractual
right, power and remedy of Lessor now or hereafter provided either in this Lease
or by statute or otherwise  shall be cumulative  and  concurrent and shall be in
addition to every other right, power and remedy and the exercise or beginning of
the  exercise by Lessor of any one or more of such  rights,  powers and remedies
shall not preclude the  simultaneous or subsequent  exercise by Lessor of any or
all of such other rights, powers and remedies.

                                  ARTICLE XXIX.
                                  -------------

                  29.  Acceptance of  Surrender.  No surrender to Lessor of this
Lease or of the Leased Property, or any part thereof or of any interest therein,
shall be valid or effective  unless  agreed to and accepted in writing by Lessor
and no act by Lessor or any representative or agent of Lessor, other than such a
written  acceptance  by  Lessor,  shall  constitute  an  acceptance  of any such
surrender.

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

                  30. No  Merger.  There  shall be no merger of this Lease or of
the leasehold  estate  created hereby by reason of the fact that the same Person
may  acquire,  own or  hold,  directly  or  indirectly,  (i)  this  Lease or the
leasehold  estate created hereby or any interest in this Lease or such leasehold
estate and (ii) the fee estate in the Leased Property.

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

                  31.  Conveyance by Lessor. If Lessor or any successor owner of
the Leased  Property shall convey the Leased Property other than as security for
a debt,  Lessor or such successor  owner, as the case may be, shall thereupon be
released from all future  liabilities  and  obligations of the Lessor under this
Lease  arising or accruing  from and after the date of such  conveyance or other
transfer and all such future  liabilities  and  obligations  shall  thereupon be
binding upon the new owner.

                                 ARTICLE XXXII.
                                 --------------

                  32. Quiet  Enjoyment.  So long as Lessee shall pay the Rent as
the same  becomes  due and shall  comply with all of the terms of this Lease and
perform its obligations hereunder, Lessee shall peaceably and quietly have, hold
and enjoy the Leased Property for the Term, free of any claim or other action by
Lessor or anyone claiming by, through or under Lessor,  but subject to all liens
and encumbrances of record as of the date hereof,  or the  Commencement  Date or
created thereafter as permitted hereunder or thereafter  consented to by Lessee.
No failure by Lessor to comply with the foregoing covenant shall give Lessee any
right to cancel or  terminate  this Lease or abate,  reduce or make a  deduction
from or offset against the Rent or any other sum payable under this Lease, or to
fail to perform any other obligation of Lessee  hereunder.  Notwithstanding  the
foregoing,  Lessee shall have the right, by separate and  independent  action to
pursue any claim it may have against Lessor as a result of a breach by Lessor of
the covenant of quiet enjoyment contained in this Article.

                                 ARTICLE XXXIII.

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

                  34.  Appraiser.  If it becomes necessary to determine the Fair
Market Value, Fair Market Rental or Leasehold FMV for any purpose of this Lease,
the party  required or permitted to give notice of such  required  determination
shall include in the notice the name of a Person selected to act as appraiser on
its behalf.  Within ten (10) days after  receipt of any such notice,  Lessor (or
Lessee,  as the case may be) shall by notice to Lessee (or  Lessor,  as the case
may be) appoint a second Person as appraiser on its behalf.  The appraisers thus
appointed,  each of whom  must be a member  of the  American  Institute  of Real
Estate  Appraisers  (or  any  successor  organization  thereto),  shall,  within
forty-five  (45)  days  after  the  date  of the  notice  appointing  the  first
appraiser,  proceed to determine  the Fair Market  Value,  Fair Market Rental or
Leasehold FMV as of the relevant date (giving  effect to the impact,  if any, of
inflation  from the date of  their  decision  to the  relevant  date)  provided,
however  that if only one  appraiser  shall  have been so  appointed,  or if two
appraisers  shall have been so appointed but only one such appraiser  shall have
made such  determination  within fifty (50) days after the making of Lessee's or
Lessor's  request,  then the  determination of such appraiser shall be final and
binding upon the parties.  If the  Facility  had reached  stabilized  operations
prior to the  Commencement  Date, to the extent  consistent with sound appraisal
practice as then  existing at the time of any such  appraisal,  an appraisal for
Fair Market  Value shall be made on a basis  consistent  with the basis on which
the Leased  Property was appraised for purposes of  determining  its fair market
value at the time the Leased Property was acquired by Lessor.  If two appraisers
shall have been  appointed and shall have made their  determinations  within the
respective  requisite periods set forth above and if the difference  between the
amounts so  determined  shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the lesser of such
amounts then the Fair Market Value, Fair Market Rental or Leasehold FMV shall be
an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the sum of the amounts so  determined.
If the  difference  between the amounts so  determined  shall exceed ten percent
(10%) of the lesser of such amounts,  then such two appraisers shall have twenty
(20) days to appoint a third  appraiser,  but if such  appraisers fail to do so,
then either  party may  request  the  American  Arbitration  Association  or any
successor  organization  thereto to appoint an appraiser within twenty (20) days
of such  request,  and both parties  shall be bound by any  appointment  so made
within  such  twenty  (20) day  period.  If no such  appraiser  shall  have been
appointed  within  such  twenty  (20)  days or  within  ninety  (90) days of the
original request for a determination of Fair Market Value, Fair Market Rental or
Leasehold  FMV,  whichever is earlier,  either Lessor or Lessee may apply to any
court  having  jurisdiction  to have such  appointment  made by such court.  Any
appraiser  appointed by the  original  appraisers,  by the American  Arbitration
Association  or by such court shall be  instructed  to determine the Fair Market
Value,  Fair  Market  Rental or  Leasehold  FMV  within  thirty  (30) days after
appointment of such appraiser.  The determination of the appraiser which differs
most in  terms of  dollar  amount  from  the  determinations  of the  other  two
appraisers  shall  be  excluded,  and  fifty  percent  (50%)  of the  sum of the
remaining two  determinations  shall be final and binding upon Lessor and Lessee
as the Fair Market Value,  Fair Market Rental or Leasehold  FMV. This  provision
for  determination by appraisal shall be specifically  enforceable to the extent
such remedy is available under applicable law, and any  determination  hereunder
shall be final and binding  upon the  parties  except as  otherwise  provided by
applicable  law.  Lessor and Lessee  shall each pay the fees and expenses of the
appraiser  appointed  by it and each shall pay one-half of the fees and expenses
of the third  appraiser and one-half of all other cost and expenses  incurred in
connection with each appraisal.

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

                  35.1 First  Refusal to Purchase.  Provided no Event of Default
has occurred  and is  continuing  hereunder,  Lessee shall have a right of first
refusal to purchase the Leased  Property  upon the same terms and  conditions of
any offer or counter  offer from a third party to purchase  the Leased  Property
which  Lessor  intends to accept (or has accepted  subject to Lessee's  right of
first refusal herein) (the "Offer");  provided, however that such right of first
refusal  shall not apply to (a) any sale,  transfer or other  conveyance  of the
Leased Property or any interest therein by Lessor to an Affiliate of Lessor, (b)
a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the outstanding  capital stock
of Lessor or a sale or  transfer  of all or  substantially  all of the assets of
Lessor, in each case to a single purchaser or transferee in a single transaction
or (c) a merger, consolidation or stock exchange to which Lessor is a party; and
provided further that in no event shall Lessor be required to make or provide to
Lessee any  representations  or warranties with respect to the Leased  Property,
notwithstanding the terms of any such Offer. If, during the Term, Lessor desires
to accept (or has accepted subject to Lessee's right of first refusal herein) an
Offer,  Lessor shall promptly notify Lessee of the same,  which notice shall set
forth all of the material  terms and  conditions  of such Offer,  including  the
purchase  price for the Leased  Property.  Lessee  shall have  fifteen (15) days
after receipt of such notice from Lessor within which time to exercise  Lessee's
right of first  refusal.  Lessee may exercise such right of first refusal by (i)
delivering  written notice to Lessor stating that Lessee  unequivocally  accepts
the terms and  conditions of the Offer  applicable to Lessee as herein  provided
within such fifteen  (15) day period and (ii)  delivering  to Lessor  concurrent
with such notice a  reaffirmation  of the  Guaranty  executed by  Guarantor.  If
Lessee  exercises its right of first  refusal  within the time and in the manner
herein  provided,  then such  transaction  shall be consummated on or before the
date  specified for closing in the terms of the Offer at the price and otherwise
in  accordance  with (A) the terms and  conditions  of such Offer  applicable to
Lessee as herein  provided and (B) the  provisions  of Article XVIII and Section
35.2 to the extent not  inconsistent  therewith.  If Lessee  shall not  exercise
Lessee's  right of first refusal in the manner and within the time period herein
provided, Lessor shall be free for a period of one (1) year after the expiration
of said fifteen  (15) day period to sell the Leased  Property to any third party
at a price and upon terms no less  favorable  to Lessor than those so offered to
Lessee  pursuant to the Offer.  If such sale is  consummated,  Lessee's right of
first refusal  hereunder  shall  automatically  terminate and the same shall not
apply to any subsequent sale of the Leased  Property or any interest  therein to
any  subsequent  purchaser  or  transferee.  If such  sale  is not  consummated,
Lessee's   right  of  first  refusal  as  provided  in  this  Section  shall  be
reinstituted as to any subsequent sale of the Leased Property during the Term of
this Lease.

                  Notwithstanding  anything  to  the  contrary  herein  in  this
Section  35.1,  except with  respect to  transactions  of the type  described in
clauses (a) through (c) above as to which Lessee shall not have a right of first
refusal,  if and only if, (1) the Offer  includes  property  in  addition to the
Leased  Property  or (2) in  connection  with the  proposed  sale of the  Leased
Property  as set forth in the Offer,  Lessor or an  Affiliate  of Lessor is also
proposing to sell  concurrent or  substantially  concurrent with the sale of the
Leased  Property  other property of Lessor or an Affiliate of Lessor to the same
third-party and/or its Affiliates, then the following shall apply:

                  (x) Lessee's right of first refusal as herein provided,  shall
apply only with respect to the Leased Property.

                  (y) With respect to the circumstances described in clause (1),
if the Offer  does not  specifically  allocate  a  purchase  price to the Leased
Property, Lessor shall reasonably determine the same and include such allocation
in Lessor's written notice to Lessee of the


                                       59
<PAGE>
Offer.

                  (z) If Lessee shall timely and properly  exercise its right of
first refusal to purchase the Leased  Property as provided in this Section 35.1,
the purchase  price  payable by Lessee shall be the price set forth in the Offer
(or the amount allocated to the Leased Property as provided in clause (y) above,
as the case may be),  unless  concurrent  with Lessee's  exercise of such Offer,
Lessee  shall  deliver  written  notice to Lessor  that  Lessee  objects  to the
purchase price for the Leased  Property as set forth in the Offer (or the amount
so  allocated  to the Leased  Property  as  provided  in clause  (y)),  then the
purchase price payable by Lessee for the Leased  Property shall be the lesser of
(aa) the purchase  price for the Leased  Property set forth in the Offer (or the
amount so allocated  to the Leased  Property as provided in clause (y)) and (bb)
the Fair Market Value of the Leased  Property  determined in accordance with the
appraisal  procedures set forth in this clause (z). Within  forty-five (45) days
after  Lessee's  timely  exercise of its right of first refusal and objection to
the  purchase  price for the Leased  Property,  Lessor  shall cause a nationally
recognized  appraisal  firm  selected  by  Lessor,  in which  one or more of the
members,  officers  or  principals  of such  firm are  members  of the  American
Institute of Real Estate Appraisers (or any successor  organization thereto), to
determine  the Fair Market Value of the Leased  Property as of the relevant date
(giving  effect  to the  impact,  if any,  of  inflation  from  the date of such
appraiser's decision to the relevant date) and to deliver to Lessor and Lessee a
written report of the same. The  determination  of such appraiser shall be final
and binding upon the parties.  This  provision  for  determination  by appraisal
shall be  specifically  enforceable to the extent such remedy is available under
applicable law, and any determination  hereunder shall be final and binding upon
the parties except as otherwise  provided by applicable  law.  Lessor and Lessee
shall each pay one-half of the fees and expenses of such  appraiser and one-half
of all other costs and  expenses  incurred in  connection  with such  appraisal,
unless  the Fair  Market  Value of the Leased  Property  as  determined  by such
appraisal  is greater  than the  purchase  price for the Leased  Property as set
forth in the Offer (or so allocated to the Leased Property as provided in clause
(y)),  in which  case  Lessee  shall  pay all of the fees and  expenses  of such
appraiser  and any other costs and  expenses  incurred in  connection  with such
appraisal.

                  35.2 Other Defaults.  A default under any other lease or other
agreement or instrument, including any purchase contract formed upon exercise of
any other  right of first  refusal  or option to  purchase,  with or in favor of
Lessor or any Affiliate of Lessor and made by or with Lessee or any Affiliate of
Lessee  where such default is not cured within the  applicable  time period,  if
any, shall be deemed a default under this Article XXXV and the purchase contract
formed upon proper  exercise by Lessee of the right of first  refusal  contained
herein,  entitling  Lessor, as seller, at its option, to terminate such purchase
contract and any escrow established thereby.

                                 ARTICLE XXXVI.
                                 --------------

                  36.1  Lessor May Grant  Liens.  Without the consent of Lessee,
Lessor may, from time to time, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause
to exist any ground lease,  mortgage,  trust deed,  lien,  encumbrance  or title
retention  agreement  (collectively,  an "encumbrance") upon the Leased Property
and any Capital Addition  thereto,  or any portion thereof or interest  therein.
This Lease is and at all times  shall be  subject  and  subordinate  to any such
encumbrance  which may now or  hereafter  affect the Leased  Property and to all
renewals,  modifications,  consolidations,  replacements and extensions thereof.
This clause shall be self-operative  and no further  instrument of subordination
shall  be  required;   provided,   however,   that  in   confirmation   of  such
subordination,  Lessee shall execute  promptly any  certificate or document that
Lessor or any ground or underlying lessor,  mortgagee or beneficiary may request
for such purposes; provided further, however, that any such subjection


                                       60
<PAGE>
and subordination of this Lease or Lessee's  leasehold interest hereunder to any
such encumbrance  imposed after the Commencement  Date shall be conditioned upon
the  execution  by the holder of such  encumbrance  and  delivery to Lessee of a
non-disturbance and attornment agreement which provides,  in substance,  that so
long as no Event of Default has occurred,  the holder of such encumbrance  shall
not disturb  either  Lessee's  leasehold  interest or  possession  of the Leased
Property in accordance  with the terms thereof or other rights under this Lease.
If, in  connection  with  obtaining  financing  or  refinancing  for the  Leased
Property,  a Facility Mortgagee or prospective  Facility Mortgagee shall request
reasonable  modifications  to this Lease as a  condition  to such  financing  or
refinancing,  Lessee shall not withhold or delay its consent thereto, so long as
such  modifications do not increase Lessee's monetary  obligations  hereunder or
adversely affect Lessee's rights or non-monetary obligations under this Lease.

                  36.2 Attornment.  If Lessor's  interest in the Leased Property
is sold or conveyed upon the exercise of any remedy provided for in any Facility
Mortgage,  or otherwise  by  operation  of law:  (i) at the new owner's  option,
Lessee shall attorn to and recognize the new owner as Lessee's Lessor under this
Lease or enter into a new lease substantially in the form of this Lease with the
new owner,  and Lessee shall take such actions to confirm the  foregoing  within
ten (10) days after request;  and (ii) the new owner shall not be (a) liable for
any act or omission of Lessor under this Lease  occurring  prior to such sale or
conveyance, or (b) subject to any offset, abatement or reduction of rent because
of any  default  of Lessor  under  this  Lease  occurring  prior to such sale or
conveyance.

                                ARTICLE XXXVII.
                                ---------------

                  37.1  Hazardous   Substances.   Lessee  shall  not  allow  any
Hazardous  Substance to be located in, on, under or about the Leased Property or
incorporated in the Facility;  provided,  however, that Hazardous Substances may
be brought,  kept,  used or  disposed of in, on or about the Leased  Property in
quantities and for purposes similar to those brought,  kept, used or disposed of
in, on or about  similar  facilities  used for  purposes  similar to the Primary
Intended  Use and  which  are  brought,  kept,  used and  disposed  of in strict
compliance with Legal  Requirements.  Lessee shall not allow the Leased Property
to be used as a waste  disposal site or, except as permitted in the  immediately
preceding sentence, for the manufacturing,  handling,  storage,  distribution or
disposal of any Hazardous Substance.

                  37.2 Notices.  Lessee shall provide to Lessor promptly, and in
any event within  seventy-two (72) hours after Lessee's receipt thereof,  a copy
of any notice,  or  notification  with respect to, (i) any  violation of a Legal
Requirement relating to Hazardous Substances located in, on, or under the Leased
Property or any adjacent property;  (ii) any enforcement,  cleanup,  removal, or
other governmental or regulatory action instituted, completed or threatened with
respect to the Leased property; (iii) any claim made or threatened by any Person
against Lessee or the Leased  Property  relating to damage,  contribution,  cost
recovery, compensation, loss, or injury resulting from or claimed to result from
any  Hazardous  Substance;  and (iv) any reports made to any  federal,  state or
local  environmental  agency arising out of or in connection  with any Hazardous
Substance  in, on,  under or removed  from the Leased  Property,  including  any
complaints, notices, warnings or asserted violations in connection therewith.

                  37.3  Remediation.  If Lessee  becomes aware of a violation of
any Legal Requirement relating to any Hazardous Substance in, on, under or about
the Leased Property or any adjacent property, or if Lessee, Lessor or the Leased
Property becomes subject to any


                                       61
<PAGE>
order  of any  federal,  state or  local  agency  to  repair,  close,  detoxify,
decontaminate  or  otherwise   remediate  the  Leased  Property,   Lessee  shall
immediately notify Lessor of such event and, at its sole cost and expense,  cure
such violation or effect such repair, closure,  detoxification,  decontamination
or other  remediation.  If Lessee fails to implement and  diligently  pursue any
such  cure,   repair,   closure,   detoxification,   decontamination   or  other
remediation,  Lessor shall have the right, but not the obligation,  to carry out
such  action  and to recover  from  Lessee all of  Lessor's  costs and  expenses
incurred in connection therewith.

                  37.4 Indemnity. Lessee shall indemnify, defend, protect, save,
hold  harmless,  and  reimburse  Lessor for, from and against any and all costs,
losses  (including,  losses of use or economic  benefit or diminution in value),
liabilities, damages, assessments,  lawsuits, deficiencies,  demands, claims and
expenses  (collectively,  "Environmental  Costs") (whether or not arising out of
third-party claims and regardless of whether liability without fault is imposed,
or sought to be imposed, on Lessor) incurred in connection with, arising out of,
resulting from or incident to, directly or indirectly, before or during the Term
(i) the production, use, generation, storage, treatment, transporting, disposal,
discharge,  release or other handling or disposition of any Hazardous Substances
from, in, on or about the Leased Property (collectively,  "Handling"), including
the  effects  of such  Handling  of any  Hazardous  Substances  on any Person or
property  within or outside  the  boundaries  of the Leased  Property,  (ii) the
presence  or  release of any  Hazardous  Substances  in, on,  under or about the
Leased  Property and (iii) the  violation of any Legal  Requirements  (including
Environmental Laws).  "Environmental Costs" include interest, costs of response,
removal,  remedial  action,   containment,   cleanup,   investigation,   design,
engineering and  construction,  damages  (including  actual,  consequential  and
punitive  damages) for personal  injuries and for injury to,  destruction  of or
loss  of  property  or  natural  resources,  relocation  or  replacement  costs,
penalties,   fines,   charges  or  expenses,   attorney's  fees,   expert  fees,
consultation  fees,  and court  costs,  and all amounts  paid in  investigating,
defending or settling any of the foregoing.

                  Without  limiting the scope or  generality  of the  foregoing,
Lessee  expressly  agrees to reimburse Lessor for any and all costs and expenses
incurred by Lessor:

                  (a) In  investigating  any and  all  matters  relating  to the
         Handling of any Hazardous Substances,  in, on, from, under or about the
         Leased Property;

                  (b) In bringing the Leased  Property into  compliance with all
         Legal Requirements; and

                  (c) Removing,  treating,  storing,  transporting,  cleaning-up
         and/or disposing of any Hazardous  Substances used, stored,  generated,
         released  or  disposed  of in,  on,  from,  under or about  the  Leased
         Property or offsite.

                  If any  claim is made  hereunder,  Lessee  agrees  to pay such
claim  promptly,  and in any event to pay such claim within sixty (60)  calendar
days after receipt by Lessee of notice thereof. If any such claim is not so paid
and Lessor is ultimately  found or agrees to be  responsible  therefore,  Lessee
agrees also to pay interest on the amount paid from the date of the first notice
of such claim, at the Overdue Rate.

                  37.5  Environmental  Inspection.  Lessor shall have the right,
from  time to time,  and upon not less  than  five (5) days  written  notice  to
Lessee,  except in the case of an  emergency  in which event no notice  shall be
required, to conduct an inspection of the Leased


                                       62
<PAGE>
Property to determine  the  existence or presence of Hazardous  Substances on or
about the Leased  Property.  Upon prior written  notice to Lessee,  Lessor shall
have the right to enter and inspect the Leased  Property,  conduct any  testing,
sampling and analyses it deems reasonably  necessary and shall have the right to
inspect  materials  brought  into  the  Leased  Property.  Lessor  may,  in  its
discretion,  retain such  experts to conduct the  inspection,  perform the tests
referred to herein, and to prepare a written report in connection therewith.  If
any such  inspections  or tests  indicate the presence or existence of Hazardous
Substances not  previously  disclosed to Lessor,  then all reasonable  costs and
expenses  incurred  by  Lessor  under  this  Section  shall be paid on demand as
Additional  Charges  by Lessee to Lessor.  Failure  to conduct an  environmental
inspection or to detect  unfavorable  conditions if such inspection is conducted
shall in no fashion be intended as a release of any liability for  environmental
conditions  subsequently  determined to be  associated  with or to have occurred
during  Lessee's  tenancy.  Lessee  shall  remain  liable for any  environmental
condition  related to or having occurred  during its tenancy  regardless of when
such  conditions are discovered and regardless of whether or not Lessor conducts
an environmental inspection at the termination of the Lease. The obligations set
forth in this Article shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the
Lease.

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

                  38.  Memorandum of Lease.  Lessor and Lessee  shall,  promptly
upon the request of either, enter into a short form memorandum of this Lease, in
form  suitable for recording  under the laws of the State.  Lessee shall pay all
costs and expenses of recording any such  memorandum  and shall fully  cooperate
with Lessor in removing from record any such  memorandum  upon the expiration or
earlier termination of the Term.

                                 ARTICLE XXXIX.
                                 --------------

                  39. Sale of Assets.  Notwithstanding  any other  provision  of
this Lease,  Lessor  shall not be  required  to (i) sell or transfer  the Leased
Property,  or any portion  thereof,  which is a real estate  asset as defined in
Section  856(c)(6)(B),  or functionally  equivalent successor provision,  of the
Code, to Lessee if Lessor's  counsel  advises  Lessor that such sale or transfer
may not be a sale of property described in Section 857(b)(6)(C), or functionally
equivalent successor provision,  of the Code or (ii) sell or transfer the Leased
Property,  or any portion thereof,  to Lessee if Lessor's counsel advises Lessor
that such sale or  transfer  could  result  in an  unacceptable  amount of gross
income for purposes of the ninety five percent (95%) gross income test contained
in Section 856(c)(2),  or functionally  equivalent successor  provision,  of the
Code. If Lessee has the right or obligation to purchase the property pursuant to
the terms herein, and if Lessor determines not to sell such property pursuant to
the above sentence,  then Lessee shall purchase such property,  upon and subject
to all applicable  terms and  conditions set forth in this Lease,  including the
provisions of Article XXXV, at such time as the transaction,  upon the advice of
Lessor's counsel, would be a sale of property (to the extent the Leased Property
is a real estate  asset)  described  in Section  857(b)(6)(C),  or  functionally
equivalent  successor  provision,  of the  Code,  and  would  not  result  in an
unacceptable  amount of gross  income for  purposes of the ninety  five  percent
(95%)  gross  income  test  contained  in  Section  856(c)(2),  or  functionally
equivalent  successor  provision  of the Code and until such time  Lessee  shall
lease the Leased  Property from Lessor at the Fair Market  Rental  determined in
accordance with Article XXXIV.

Lessee,  represent  and  warrant  that each is duly  authorized  to execute  and

execution  of  this  Lease  deliver  to  Lessor   evidence  of  such   authority
satisfactory to Lessor.

other  proceeding  against the other to enforce any of the terms,  covenants  or
conditions  hereof or any  instrument  executed  pursuant to this  Lease,  or by
reason of any breach or default hereunder or thereunder, the party prevailing in
any such action or proceeding and any appeal  thereupon shall be paid all of its
costs and  reasonable  attorneys'  fees  incurred  therein.  In  addition to the
foregoing and other provisions of this Lease that specifically require Lessee to
reimburse,  pay or indemnify against Lessor's attorneys' fees, Lessee shall pay,
as Additional Charges,  all of Lessor's  reasonable  attorneys' fees incurred in
connection  with  the  enforcement  of this  Lease,  including  attorneys'  fees
incurred in connection  with Lessee's  exercise of its right to renew this Lease
for any  Extended  Term,  the  review of any  letters  of  credit,  the  review,
negotiation  or  documentation  of any  subletting,  assignment,  or  management
arrangement or any consent requested in connection therewith, and the collection

or dealings  with any Person or real estate  broker which would give rise to the
payment of any fee or brokerage  commission in connection  with this Lease,  and
Lessee  shall  indemnify,  protect,  hold  harmless  and defend  Lessor from and
against any liability  with respect to any fee or brokerage  commission  arising
out of any act or omission of Lessee.  Lessor  warrants  that it has not had any
contact or dealings  with any Person or real estate broker which would give rise
to the payment of any fee or brokerage commission in connection with this Lease,

contrary  notwithstanding,  all claims against,  and liabilities and indemnities
of, Lessee or Lessor arising prior to the  expiration or earlier  termination of
the Term shall survive such expiration or termination.  In addition,  all claims
against, and all liabilities and indemnities  hereunder of Lessee shall continue
in full  force  and  effect  and in favor of the  Lessor  named  herein  and its
successors and assigns, notwithstanding any conveyance of the Leased Property to
Lessee.

                           44.2  Severability.  If any term or provision of this
Lease or any  application  thereof shall be held invalid or  unenforceable,  the
remainder  of this  Lease and any other  application  of such term or  provision
shall not be affected thereby.

                           44.3 Non-Recourse. Lessee specifically agrees to look
solely  to the  Leased  Property  for  recovery  of any  judgment  from  Lessor;
provided,  however,  that if Lessor's equity in the Leased Property is less than
$1  Million,  then other  assets of Lessor  shall be  available  to satisfy  any
judgment  against  Lessor  as  provided  herein,  but only to the  extent of the
difference between the then amount of Lessor's equity in the Leased Property and
such $1 Million. It is specifically agreed that no constituent partner in Lessor
or officer,  director or employee of Lessor shall ever be personally  liable for
any such judgment or for the payment of any monetary  obligation to Lessee.  The
provision contained in the foregoing sentence is not intended to, and shall not,
limit any right that Lessee might  otherwise  have to obtain  injunctive  relief
against  Lessor,  or any other action not  involving  the personal  liability of
Lessor. Furthermore,  except as otherwise expressly provided herein, in no event
shall Lessor ever be liable to Lessee for any indirect or consequential  damages
suffered by Lessee from whatever cause.

                           44.4   Licenses.   Upon  the  expiration  or  earlier
termination of the Term,  Lessee shall transfer to Lessor or Lessor's  nominee a
fully operational  Facility and shall cooperate with Lessor or Lessor's designee
or nominee in connection  with the processing by Lessor or Lessor's  designee or
nominee  of any  applications  for all  licenses,  operating  permits  and other
governmental authorization, all contracts, including contracts with governmental
or  quasi-governmental  entities,  business records,  data, patient and resident
records,  and patient and  resident  trust  accounts,  which may be necessary or
useful for the operation of the  Facility;  provided that the costs and expenses
of any such transfer or the processing of any such application  shall be paid by
Lessor or Lessor's  designee or nominee.  Lessee  shall not commit any act or be
remiss in the  undertaking  of any act that would  jeopardize  the  licensure or
certification  of the  Facility,  and Lessee  shall  comply with all  reasonable
requests  for an  orderly  transfer  of the same  upon the  expiration  or early
termination  of the Term.  In addition,  upon  request,  Lessee  shall  promptly
deliver copies of all non-confidential  books and records relating to the Leased
Property and its operation to Lessor or Lessor's designee or nominee.

                           44.5   Successors   and   Assigns.   Subject  to  the
provisions  of Article  XXIV,  this Lease  shall be binding  upon Lessor and its
successors and assigns and upon Lessee and its successors and assigns.

                           44.6 Termination Date. If this Lease is terminated by
Lessor or Lessee under any provision hereof, and upon the expiration of the Term
(collectively, the "termination date"), the following shall pertain:

                                    (i) Lessee  shall vacate and  surrender  the
Leased Property,  Lessee's Personal Property (other than the Removable  Personal
Property,  which is subject to the option granted to Lessor  pursuant to Section
6.4) and all Capital  Additions to Lessor in the  condition  required by Section
9.1.4. Prior to such vacation and surrender, Lessee shall remove any items which
Lessee is permitted or required to remove  hereunder.  Lessee shall, at Lessee's
cost,  repair any damage to the Leased Property,  Lessee's Personal Property and
any Capital  Additions caused by such vacation and/or removal of any items which
Lessee is required or permitted  hereunder to remove.  Any items which Lessee is
permitted to remove but fails to remove prior to the  surrender to Lessor of the
Leased Property, Lessee's Personal


                                       65
<PAGE>
Property and any Capital  Additions  shall be deemed  abandoned  by Lessee,  and
Lessor may retain or dispose  of the same as Lessor  sees fit  without  claim by
Lessee thereto or to any proceeds  thereof.  If, after written notice to Lessee,
Lessor elects to remove and dispose of any such items  abandoned by Lessee,  the
cost of such  removal and  disposal  shall be an  Additional  Charge  payable by
Lessee to Lessor upon demand. Lessee shall pay all amounts payable by it through
the termination date and any costs charged pursuant to the immediately preceding
sentence,  each of the  parties  shall  bear  their own costs and fees  incurred
(including  all  costs  incurred  in  performing  their  respective  obligations
hereunder)  through the termination date and from and after the termination date
neither party shall have any further  obligations to the other, except for those
obligations set forth in this clause (i), those obligations  hereunder which are
intended  to survive the  expiration  or earlier  termination  of this Lease and
those specific obligations set forth in clause (ii) below.

                                    (ii)   Notwithstanding   the  provisions  of
clause (i), upon any such termination or expiration of this Lease, the following
shall pertain:

                                           (a) Lessee agrees to defend, protect,
indemnify,  defend and hold harmless Lessor from and against any and all claims,
costs, losses, expenses, damages, actions, and causes of action for which Lessee
is responsible under this Lease (including Lessee's indemnification  obligations
under  Articles  XXIII and XXXVII) and which accrue or have accrued on or before
the  termination  date.  Lessor agrees to use reasonable  efforts to give Lessee
prompt written notice of any such claim,  cost, loss, etc.;  provided,  however,
that  failure to give such  notice  shall not  relieve  Lessee of the  foregoing
indemnification  of  obligations  unless  Lessor's  failure to give such  notice
and/or to take  action with  respect  thereto  results in any  default  judgment
against Lessor or Lessee.

                                           (b) Lessee  shall  remain  liable for
the cost of all  utilities  used in or at the Leased  Property  and any  Capital
Additions  through the termination  date and accrued and unpaid,  whether or not
then billed,  as of the  termination  date until full payment thereof by Lessee.
Lessee shall obtain directly from the companies  providing such services closing
statements  for all services  rendered  through the  termination  date and shall
promptly  pay the same.  If any  utility  statement  with  respect to the Leased
Property and any Capital Additions includes charges for a period partially prior
to and  partially  subsequent  to the  termination  date,  such charges shall be
prorated as between Lessor and Lessee,  with Lessee  responsible for the portion
thereof  (based upon a fraction the  numerator of which is the number of days of
service on such statement  through the  termination  date and the denominator of
which is the total  number of days of service  on such  statement)  through  the
termination  date and Lessor shall be  responsible  for the  balance.  The party
receiving any such statement which requires  proration  hereunder shall promptly
pay such statement and the other party shall, within ten (10) days after receipt
of a copy of such statement,  remit to the party paying the statement any amount
for which such other party is responsible hereunder.

                                           (c)  Subject  to  the  provisions  of
Sections  4.1.1,  Lessee shall remain  responsible  for any and all  Impositions
imposed  against the Leased  Property,  the  Personal  Property  and any Capital
Additions with a lien date prior to the termination  date  (irrespective  of the
date of billing therefor) and for its pro rata share of any Impositions  imposed
in respect of the tax-fiscal period during which the Term terminates as provided
in Section  4.1.7,  and Lessee shall  indemnify  and hold Lessor  harmless  with
respect  to any  claims  for such  Impositions  or  resulting  from  non-payment
thereof.

all of Lessee's  Personal  Property (other than the Removable  Personal Property
which is subject to the option  granted to Lessor  pursuant to Section  6.4) and
any Capital  Additions  not owned by Lessor to Lessor,  in each case free of any
encumbrance,  as provided  in Section  6.3 and (2) remove this Lease  and/or any
memorandum hereof as a matter affecting title to the Leased Property as provided
in Article XXVIII and (z) comply with its covenants set forth in Section 44.4.

Remedies. In the event that Lessee claims or asserts that Lessor has violated or
failed to perform a covenant  of Lessor not to  unreasonably  withhold  or delay
Lessor's  consent  or  approval  hereunder,   or  in  any  case  where  Lessor's
reasonableness  in  exercising  its judgment is in issue,  Lessee's  sole remedy
shall be an action for specific performance, declaratory judgment or injunction,
and (a) in no event  shall  Lessee be  entitled  to any  monetary  damages for a
breach of such covenant and (b) Lessee hereby  specifically  waives the right to
any  monetary  damages or other  remedies in  connection  with any such claim or
assertion; provided, however, that if Lessee establishes in a court of competent
jurisdiction  that Lessor has acted  maliciously  or in bad faith in withholding
its


                                       67
<PAGE>
consent in any instance  where Lessor has agreed  hereunder not to  unreasonably
withhold or delay its consent,  then the foregoing  limitations  shall not apply
and Lessee shall be entitled to seek any remedies  available at law or in equity
by reason of Lessor's actions.

other Lessee Documents, as defined in the Contract of Acquisition,  the Exhibits
hereto and thereto and such other  documents  as are  contemplated  hereunder or
thereunder,  constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof, and may not be changed or modified except by an agreement
in writing signed by the parties.  Lessor and Lessee hereby agree that all prior
or contemporaneous oral understandings,  agreements or negotiations  relative to
the leasing of the Leased Property are merged into and revoked by this Lease.

                           44.11 Headings.  All titles and headings to sections,
subsections,  paragraphs  or  other  divisions  of this  Lease  are only for the
convenience  of the  parties  and shall not be  construed  to have any effect or
meaning  with  respect  to the other  contents  of such  sections,  subsections,
paragraphs or other  divisions,  such other content being  controlling as to the
agreement among the parties hereto.

                           44.12 Counterparts. This Lease may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which shall be a valid and binding original, but
all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

the Lessee under this Lease,  the  liability  of such  Persons  under this Lease
shall be joint and several.

                           44.14  Interpretation.  Both  Lessor and Lessee  have
been  represented by counsel and this Lease and every provision  hereof has been
freely and fairly negotiated.  Consequently,  all provisions of this Lease shall
