PART I
ITEM 1--BUSINESS
THE COMPANY
Balanced Care Corporation (the "Company") was formed in April 1995 to
develop senior care continuums which meet the needs of upper middle, middle and
moderate income populations in non-urban, secondary markets. The Company
considers upper middle, middle and moderate income populations to consist of
those individuals whose income and assets enable them to afford senior living
and care services at average daily rates of $85, $75 and $65, respectively. The
Company intends to utilize assisted living facilities in selected markets as the
primary entry point and service platform to develop a care continuum (the
"Balanced Care Continuum") consisting of various health care and hospitality
services, including, where appropriate, physical, occupational and speech
therapy, home health care services on an intermittent basis, dementia and
Alzheimer's services and skilled/subacute care delivered in a skilled nursing
setting, enabling residents to age in place. The Company believes that
non-urban, secondary markets are underserved, highly fragmented and less prone
to intense competition from larger providers. The Company believes that these
factors will enable it to establish a leading position as a provider of a market
differentiated, consumer preferred continuum of senior care services in such
markets. To achieve its goals, the Company intends to: (i) provide a range of
high quality, individualized senior care services and programs, (ii) develop the
Balanced Care Continuum, (iii) focus on non-urban, secondary markets, (iv)
continue developing the Company's signature series assisted living facilities,
(v) pursue growth through selective acquisitions, (vi) achieve the benefits of
regional density by clustering, and (vii) expand referral networks and strategic
alliances.
Since its inception, the Company has grown primarily through acquisitions
and development. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998 ("Fiscal 1998"), the
Company completed acquisitions of Heavenly Health Care, Inc. d/b/a Joe Clark
Residential Care Homes in August 1997, Feltrop's Personal Care Home and Butler
Senior Care in October 1997, Triangle Retirement Services, Inc. d/b/a Northridge
Retirement Center in December 1997, Gethsemane Affiliates in January 1998 and
Potomac Point in June 1998. The Company completed the divestiture of Long-Term
Care Pharmaceutical, Inc. (the "Pharmacy") in October 1997 (the "Pharmacy
Divesture"). As of June 30, 1998, the Company has also designed, developed and
opened 12 of its Outlook Pointe(R) signature series assisted living facilities,
11 of which are managed by the Company and one of which is leased by the
Company. As of June 30, 1998, the Company operated a total of 37 assisted living
facilities, 13 skilled nursing facilities and four independent living facilities
in Pennsylvania, Missouri, Arkansas, North Carolina, Virginia, Ohio and
Wisconsin, as well as a home health agency in Missouri and eight rehabilitation
therapy operations located in Pennsylvania and Arkansas. Assuming completion of
the planned divestiture of the Company's assisted living facilities in
Wisconsin, at June 30, 1998, the Company owned nine, leased 27 and managed 11
senior living and health care facilities in Pennsylvania, Missouri, Arkansas,
North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia with a capacity for 1,729 assisted living
residents, 1,294 skilled nursing patients and 120 independent living residents.
The Balanced Care Continuum is being developed to deliver consumer-focused
health care and hospitality services that balance seniors' desire for
independence with their evolving health care needs. The Company's philosophy
includes the belief that wellness and preventative therapy will strengthen
residents, improve their health and forestall the deterioration that generally
accompanies aging, thus extending their lives and lengths of stay in assisted
living facilities. The Company's wellness-oriented program, Balanced Gold(R),
has been developed to predict and proactively address resident care needs,
including stabilizing and improving residents' cognitive, emotional and physical
well being. The Balanced Gold(R) program is included in the Company's core
services package at each of its Outlook Pointe(R) signature series assisted
living facilities, and the Company intends to implement all or part of the
program at its other assisted living facilities as appropriate. Preventative,
restorative and rehabilitative services are also expected to be made available
to residents through outpatient medical rehabilitation, home health care,
programs for residents with Alzheimer's and other services provided by the
Company or by an alliance partner or other third party. By offering services and
programs that are intended to enable residents to stay healthier longer and
prolong their stay at assisted living facilities, the Company believes that its
services and programs will address the preferences and needs of seniors, while
at the same time
2
<PAGE> 3
forestalling the need for residents to move to a more costly long-term care
setting, such as a skilled nursing facility. As resident needs mandate migration
into a skilled nursing or subacute program, the Company believes that its
skilled nursing facilities will provide a transition for the resident with a
focus on demonstrated outcomes and cost effective care. The Company believes
that its approach to senior care will enable it to be a leading provider of a
continuum of senior care services in targeted non-urban, secondary markets.
THE SENIOR CARE INDUSTRY
The senior care industry is characterized by a wide range of living
accommodations and health care services. For those who are able to live in a
home setting, home health care and other limited services can be provided.
Community housing or retirement centers, which are commonly referred to as
independent living facilities, are also available to persons who need limited
assistance, such as with meal preparation, housekeeping and laundry. Assisted
living facilities are typically for those persons whose physical or cognitive
frailties have reached a state where other living accommodations can no longer
provide the level of care required but who do not yet need the continuous
medical attention provided in a skilled nursing facility. Generally, assisted
living facilities provide a combination of housing and 24-hour personal support
services designed to assist seniors with activities of daily living ("ADLs"),
which include bathing, eating, personal hygiene, grooming, ambulating and
dressing. Certain assisted living facilities also offer higher levels of
personal assistance for residents with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of
dementia. Skilled nursing facilities provide care for those who need a minimum
of three hours of nursing per day.
The senior care industry, including assisted living, is highly fragmented
and characterized by numerous providers whose services, experience and capital
resources vary widely. The Company believes that few operators of assisted
living facilities, particularly those in secondary markets, focus on providing a
range of senior living and health care services that have been designed to
enable residents to stay in a preferred setting longer. Most of the markets
targeted by the Company for development have existing assisted living and/or
skilled nursing providers.
The Company believes that the assisted living industry is evolving as the
preferred alternative to meet the growing demand for a cost effective setting
for those seniors who cannot live independently due to physical or cognitive
frailties, but who do not require the more intensive medical attention provided
by a skilled nursing facility. According to the United States Bureau of the
Census, approximately 45% of persons aged 85 years and older, approximately 24%
of persons aged 80 to 84 and approximately 20% of persons aged 75 to 79 need
assistance with ADLs. In 1996, according to industry estimates, the assisted and
independent living industries generated approximately $12 to $14 billion in
revenues.
The Company believes that a number of factors will contribute to the
continued growth of the assisted living industry, including:
Consumer Preference
The Company believes that assisted living is increasingly becoming the
setting preferred by prospective residents as well as their families, who are
often the decision makers for seniors. Assisted living is generally a more
attractive, service oriented and lower cost alternative to other types of senior
care facilities, offering seniors greater independence and allowing them to age
in place in a residential setting.
Cost Effectiveness
Assisted living facilities provide a cost effective alternative to other
types of facilities that may provide more care than a senior needs. The average
annual cost for a patient in a skilled nursing facility approaches $40,000 and,
in the case of a private pay patient, can exceed $75,000 per year in certain
markets. In contrast, the average annual cost for a resident of an assisted
living facility is generally 30% to 50% lower than skilled nursing facilities
located in the same region. Additionally, the Company also believes that the
cost of assisted living services compares favorably with home health care,
particularly when costs associated with housing, meals and personal care
assistance are taken into consideration.
3
<PAGE> 4
Changing Income and Family Dynamics
The Company believes that the increasing income of seniors, as well as
changing family dynamics, will increase the demand for assisted living and
health care services. According to the United States Bureau of the Census, the
median income of the elderly population has been increasing. Accordingly, the
Company believes that the number of seniors who are able to afford high-quality
senior residential services such as those offered by the Company will also
increase. Additionally, the number of two-income households has increased over
the last decade and the geographical separation of senior family members from
their adult children has risen. As a result, many families that traditionally
would have provided the care and services offered by the Company to senior
family members are less able to do so. The Company believes that assisted living
facilities represent an attractive and independent environment for senior family
members.
Demographics
The target market for the Company's services are persons generally 75 years
and older, one of the fastest growing segments of the United States population.
According to the United States Bureau of the Census, the portion of the United
States population aged 75 and older is expected to increase by approximately
29%, from approximately 13.0 million in 1990 to approximately 16.8 million by
the year 2000, and the number of persons aged 85 and older, as a segment of the
United States population, is expected to increase by approximately 43%, from
approximately 3.0 million in 1990 to over 4.3 million by the year 2000.
Furthermore, the number of persons afflicted with Alzheimer's disease is also
expected to increase in the coming years. According to data published by the
American Psychiatric Association, Alzheimer's disease affects approximately 5%
to 8% of individuals over the age 65, 15% to 20% of individuals over the age of
75 and 25% to 50% of individuals over the age of 85.
Supply/Demand Imbalance
The Company believes that non-urban secondary markets are often underserved
with respect to assisted living facilities. Based on bed need analyses performed
by the Company in connection with the prospective development of its assisted
living facilities, the need for the Company's services in its target markets is
typically three times the number of beds sought to be developed. When combined
with its market differentiated services package, the Company believes that it is
well positioned to be the preferred provider of senior care services in its
targeted markets.
While the senior population is growing significantly, the supply of skilled
nursing beds per thousand persons aged 85 years and older is declining. This
imbalance may be attributed to a number of factors in addition to the aging of
the population. Many states, in an effort to maintain controls of Medicaid
expenditures on long-term care, have implemented more restrictive
certificate-of-need regulations or similar legislation that restricts the supply
of licensed skilled nursing facility beds. Additionally, acuity-based
reimbursement systems have encouraged skilled nursing facilities to focus on
higher acuity patients. The Company also believes that high construction costs
and limits on government reimbursement for the full cost of construction and
start-up expenses will also contain the growth and supply of traditional skilled
nursing beds. These factors, taken in combination, result in relatively fewer
skilled nursing beds available for the increasing number of seniors who require
assistance with ADLs but do not require 24-hour per day medical attention.
CARE AND SERVICES PROGRAMS
The Company offers a continuum of services to seniors that includes
assisted living, medical rehabilitation, home health care, dementia and
Alzheimer's services, skilled nursing, subacute care and independent living
services.
Assisted Living Services
Admission; Resident Care Plan. The Company intends that its assisted living
facilities be the principal entry point into the Balanced Care Continuum. As a
result, the assisted living admission process is crucial to the proper placement
of residents and in the development of tailored resident care plans. Upon
admission to one of the Company's assisted living facilities, a physician
assesses the resident's health status and determines his or her
4
<PAGE> 5
care needs. A lifestyle assessment is also conducted in consultation with the
resident, as well as his or her family and medical consultants, to determine the
resident's care and services preferences. From this assessment, each resident's
individualized care plan is developed to ensure that all staff members rendering
services meet the resident's specific needs and preferences whenever possible.
Each resident's care plan is reviewed periodically to determine when a change in
services is needed. The Company seeks to provide assisted living services that
allow a resident to maintain a dignified, independent lifestyle. Residents and
their families are encouraged to be partners in their care and to take as much
responsibility as possible for their well being.
Care and Services. The Company offers a range of assisted living care and
services which are available 24 hours per day at each of its assisted living
facilities. The core services package offered by the Company includes personal
care, support and certain supplemental services. Personal care services include
assistance with ADLs, such as ambulating, bathing, dressing, eating, grooming,
personal hygiene, monitoring or assistance with medications and confusion
management. Support services include meal preparation, assistance with social
and recreational activities, laundry services, general housekeeping, maintenance
services and transportation services. Supplemental services, which are offered
at an extra charge, include extra transportation services, beauty and barber
services, extra laundry services and non-routine care services. The Balanced
Gold(R) program is included in the Company's core services package at each of
its signature series assisted living facilities, and the Company intends to
implement all or part of the program at its other assisted living facilities as
appropriate. To the extent permitted by state regulatory requirements, the
Company's facilities have been designed to accommodate special programs
including those for residents with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, as
well as medical rehabilitation and home health care services. Medical
rehabilitation services are provided by certified physical, occupational and
speech therapists and psychologists, with physician oversight. Home health care
services are provided through the Company's licensed home health agency in
Missouri or by a third party.
Balanced Gold(R) The Company's Balanced Gold(R) program is a
wellness-oriented program which assists residents in remaining independent and
involved with their families, other residents and the local community. The
Balanced Gold(R) program is included in the Company's core services package at
each of its Outlook Pointe(R) signature series assisted living facilities, and
the Company intends to implement all or part of the program at its other
assisted living facilities as appropriate. Balanced Gold(R) is designed to
address a variety of factors that may affect adversely the health of assisted
living residents, including balance and gait difficulties, incontinence,
cognitive impairment, stress due to pain and chronic conditions and grieving due
to multiple losses in the resident's life. The Balanced Gold(R) program includes
tai chi exercise to improve balance and gait problems; individually designed
exercise programs, including incontinence and pelvic exercises and diet
guidelines; "Wisdom Keeper" programs to challenge and stimulate mental
capabilities; "Relaxation and Vitality" programs of deep breathing, stretching
exercises and sitting and walking meditation; "Golden Living" programs to assist
with grief and loss; gardening to encourage nurturing and independence; and
walking programs to promote health and fitness. Company staff, in consultation
with the resident, as well as his or her family and medical consultants,
determine which of the Balanced Gold(R) activities are appropriate and best
suited to the resident's needs, interests and capabilities.
Alzheimer's "Keepsakes" Program. The Company has developed, with the
assistance of its Health Care Advisory Board, an approach to Alzheimer's and
other forms of dementia that includes specialized assessments and clinical
approaches for early and accurate detection, placement and intervention. To meet
the needs of residents with Alzheimer's disease and other related forms of
dementia, the Company has developed its "Keepsakes" program to maintain
familiarity, reduce confusion, and still provide a pleasant and appropriate
living environment for these residents. The Company's approach to Alzheimer's
also calls for support groups to be organized in conjunction with the local
chapter of the Alzheimer's Association to provide a safe and supportive
community through which caregivers can share their thoughts and concerns. The
Company's signature series assisted living facilities are designed to enable
these specialized services to be provided at all newly developed facilities, and
to the extent permitted by state regulatory requirements, the Company intends to
implement this program at its other assisted living facilities.
The Company currently operates an Alzheimer's "Keepsakes" program at three
of its assisted living facilities and at one dedicated unit in its skilled
nursing facilities. The Company plans to develop its Alzheimer's
5
<PAGE> 6
"Keepsakes" program at each of its existing assisted living facilities and in
all facilities being developed. These units feature areas specifically designed
to provide attention, care and services needed to help residents with
Alzheimer's maintain a higher quality of life. The Alzheimer's team members are
specially trained to understand behavior, maximize function, promote safety and
encourage resident independence.
Medication Management. Each assisted living facility contracts with a
pharmacy to provide prescription drugs to those residents who desire to utilize
the pharmacy. Residents are free to use a pharmacy of their choice.
Additionally, subject to state regulatory requirements, at the resident's
request, and based on the facility's assessment of the resident's needs, the
assisted living facility may manage a resident's medications by storing
prescription drugs within the facility, delivering the drugs to the resident and
reminding the resident when the medications need to be taken.
Assisted Living Charges. Monthly assisted living resident charges are
based, in part, on the type of assisted living suite selected and are set at
rates designed to be within the means of seniors in the secondary markets served
by the Company. In addition to its core services package, at certain facilities,
including all newly developed Outlook Pointe(R) facilities, the Company offers
three additional levels of services to residents whose frailties or medical
condition are more acute. These additional levels of services are currently
offered at prices equal to 16%, 23% and 30% above the price of the Company's
core assisted living services package. As of June 30, 1998, approximately 17%,
10% and 19% of the Company's assisted living residents at those facilities
received services at the first, second and third levels of additional services,
respectively. Substantially all of the Company's current revenues from the
provision of assisted living services are attributable to private payors.
MEDICAL REHABILITATION SERVICES
The Company's philosophy for addressing seniors' living and care needs
includes the belief that preventative therapy will strengthen residents, improve
their overall health and forestall the deterioration that generally accompanies
aging, thus extending their lives and lengths of stay in assisted living
facilities. The Company has developed specialized medical rehabilitation
programs to address the needs of seniors, including programs to specifically
address balance and gait difficulties, incontinence, lymphodema, pain and
osteoarthritis, as well as specific preventative therapy programs for seniors.
For residents in the Company's signature series assisted living facilities, each
rehabilitation program is followed up with specialized regimens offered as part
of the Balanced Gold(R) program. Should a resident's condition warrant
additional rehabilitation, on-staff and contracted therapists are available.
The Company currently provides medical rehabilitation services, including
physical and occupational therapy, on an outpatient basis to residents at eight
of its assisted living facilities as well as to patients in a surrounding
community. These outpatient services are provided through the Company's licensed
rehabilitation agencies in Pennsylvania and Arkansas or certain of its skilled
nursing facilities. Rehabilitation services are provided at the Company's other
facilities through contract services, outpatient rehabilitation facilities or
home health agencies.
The Company intends to establish or acquire additional licensed
rehabilitation agencies in those states where it is developing assisted living
facilities. These agencies will enable the Company to provide medical
rehabilitation services to its assisted living residents and the surrounding
communities. Additionally, the Company may enter into strategic joint venture
relationships with rehabilitation providers to provide medical rehabilitation in
certain markets.
Substantially all of the Company's current revenues from provision of
medical rehabilitation services are attributable to federal government
reimbursement programs.
HOME HEALTH CARE SERVICES
The Company provides home health care services through its licensed home
health agency in Missouri to residents of its assisted and independent living
facilities and patients from the surrounding areas. The services the Company
provides include: (i) general and specialty nursing services to individuals with
acute illness, long-term chronic health conditions, permanent disabilities,
terminal illnesses or post-procedural needs; (ii) therapy services
6
<PAGE> 7
consisting of, among other things, physical, occupational and speech therapies;
(iii) personal care services and assistance with ADLs; (iv) hospice care for
persons in the final phases of incurable disease; (v) respiratory, monitoring,
medical equipment and supplies; and (vi) a comprehensive range of home infusion
and enteral therapies. The Company intends to develop, acquire or manage home
health care service businesses in order to provide home health care services at
other facilities and to seniors living in surrounding areas. Assisted living
residents receiving home health care services may require skilled nursing
services as their medical conditions warrant.
Substantially all of the Company's current revenues from provision of home
health care services are attributable to federal government reimbursement
programs.
SKILLED NURSING SERVICES
The Company currently provides skilled nursing services at three facilities
in Pennsylvania (169 licensed beds) and ten facilities (1,125 licensed beds) in
southwest Missouri. The Company's skilled nursing facilities provide traditional
long-term care through 24-hour per day skilled nursing care by registered
nurses, licensed practical nurses and certified nursing aides. The Company also
offers physical rehabilitation at its skilled nursing facilities, including
physical, occupational and speech therapies. Board certified physicians direct
the skilled nursing services offered at these facilities.
For Fiscal 1998, approximately 80% of the Company's patient services
revenues were attributable to federal and state government reimbursement
programs.
INDEPENDENT LIVING SERVICES
The Company operates four independent living facilities in Missouri located
adjacent to skilled nursing facilities operated by the Company. Services
provided at such facilities include: meal preparation, housekeeping, laundry and
transportation. These facilities are licensed as assisted living facilities and
may be converted from independent living facilities at the option of the
Company.
All of the Company's current revenues from the provision of independent
living services are attributable to private payors.
THE OUTLOOK POINTE(R) SIGNATURE SERIES ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY MODELS
The architectural and interior design concepts of the Outlook
Pointe(R)signature series assisted living facility models incorporate the
Company's operating philosophy of protecting resident privacy, enabling freedom
of choice, encouraging independence and fostering individuality in a home-like
setting. The buildings are residential in appearance, designed as
"neighborhoods" within a "community," and offer a home-like environment, while
being constructed to institutional health care facility standards. The building
designs incorporate the Company's mission and dedication to providing a new
outlook for seniors, encouraging choice, wellness, and vitality. The Company
believes that the Outlook Pointe(R) signature series facilities achieve its
mission and goals to meet the needs and expectations of its residents and their
families, providing a safe environment and care in a home-like setting where the
Company is responsive to each individual's special needs and the universal
desire for independence, dignity and purpose. The Company believes that its
residential environment also accomplishes several other objectives, including:
(i) lessening the trauma of change for residents and their families; (ii)
achieving operational efficiencies; (iii) facilitating resident mobility and
ease of access by caregivers; and (iv) differentiating the Company from other
assisted living and long-term care operators.
The models are freestanding buildings that range in size from 48 units to
106 units and are designed to accommodate the full range of assisted living
services offered by the Company, including the Company's Balanced Gold(R) and
Alzheimer's "Keepsakes" programs. The buildings are usually one to two stories
and of incombustible construction, and are designed to accommodate future
expansion. The interior layout is designed to promote efficient delivery of
resident care as well as resident independence. The design of the facilities
allows specialized grouping of residents, including residents receiving care in
the Alzheimer's "Keepsakes" program, and a central core for resident
interaction. In addition, the buildings are designed with fully-equipped therapy
7
<PAGE> 8
gyms and treatment rooms for provision of medical rehabilitation services. The
buildings range in size from 27,000 square feet to 68,000 square feet and are
adaptable to construction on sites ranging from two to five acres. Approximately
33% of a building is devoted to common areas and contains resident amenities
including a parlor, living room, dining room, club room, library, activity room,
beauty/barber shop, spa, laundry, wellness (therapy) center and neighborhood
lounges with pantries. The support areas include administrative offices,
resident services offices, a kitchen, common laundry and
housekeeping/maintenance areas. Resident units, including studio, privacy,
companion and one bedroom suites, are functionally grouped as "neighborhoods"
within a "community" and are configured internally to provide private bath,
living area and sleeping area with emergency call systems and cable television
service. Porches, terraces, gardens and activity areas are designed to fulfill
outdoor interests of residents.
The Company has three basic building plan design prototypes which provide
it with flexibility in adapting the model to a particular site and to
accommodate the various income and care levels demanded in a particular market.
Daily rates currently range from $71.00 to $105.00 at the Prototype A
facilities, from $65.00 to $85.00 at the Prototype B facilities, and from $58.00
to $66.00 at the Prototype C facilities.

The above table excludes the Company's seven Wisconsin assisted living
facilities which the Company intends to sell. The facilities consist of seven
owned assisted living facilities located in Beloit, Mauston, Monroe, Pardeville,
Portage, Tomah and Waupun, Wisconsin. In June 1997, management determined that
the market in which its Wisconsin assisted living facilities are located does
not provide adequate opportunity to achieve the operational efficiencies
necessary for the Company to operate profitably. As a result, the Company
committed to a plan for the disposal of its Wisconsin assisted living
facilities. In July 1998, the Company entered into a letter of intent to sell
the Wisconsin assisted living facilities to a midwestern-based company for
$2,900,000, the closing of which is subject to the negotiation of a definitive
asset purchase agreement. The transaction is expected to close by October 31,
1998.
The Company also decided in June 1997 to sell the Pharmacy in order to
focus on its assisted living and skilled nursing operations and approached
national pharmacy providers about acquiring the Pharmacy. In October 1997, the
Company completed the Pharmacy Divestiture for net proceeds of approximately
$4,700,000, which provided some of the working capital needed to sustain the
Company's growth.
DEVELOPMENT
An integral element of the Company's growth is the design, development and
opening of the Outlook Pointe(R) signature series assisted living facilities to
be owned by independent Operators/Lessees and managed by the Company. The
Company believes that the signature series assisted living facilities meet the
needs of the upper middle, middle and moderate income populations in its target
markets and are designed to provide the broad range of services contemplated by
its Balanced Care Continuum strategy over a range of pricing options. The
Company currently plans to develop more than 40 Outlook Pointe(R) signature
series assisted living facilities by June 30, 1999 and to continue its internal
development program beyond fiscal 1999.
In evaluating a potential market, the Company utilizes an in-house
developed bed need model and a market analysis which considers such factors as
bed need, population, mobility factors, income and age demographics, target site
visibility, probability of obtaining zoning approvals, estimated level of market
demand, the opportunity for the Company to offer a range of services comprising
the senior living and health care continuum and the ability to maximize
management resources in a specific market by clustering its development and
operating activities.
The primary phases of the Company's development process include: (i) the
pre-contract phase, representing the period prior to obtaining a development
agreement with the owner; (ii) the pre-construction phase, (iii) the
construction phase; and (iv) the initial occupancy phase. The primary milestones
in the Company's development process are: (i) site selection and signing of a
land purchase option agreement; (ii) obtaining permits and approvals necessary
to commence construction; (iii) execution of a development agreement; (iv)
completion of construction and obtaining a certificate of occupancy; and (v)
operational set-up and training prior to opening. Once a market has been
identified, site selection and signing of a land purchase option agreement
typically takes approximately 30 to 90 days and obtaining permits and approvals
takes approximately 60 to 90 days.
11
<PAGE> 12
Architectural design is done in-house by a Company architect, while hands-on
construction functions are contracted to outside contractors. Construction of an
assisted living facility normally takes six to twelve months, depending on
geographic location, weather conditions and the size of the facility.
Pre-opening operational activities begin approximately six months prior to the
opening of the facility. After a facility receives a certificate of occupancy,
residents usually begin to move in immediately. The Company generally expects
occupancy of newly developed assisted living facilities to reach a targeted
occupancy of 92% within 10 to 21 months after opening, depending on the size of
the facility.
The Company believes that it differentiates itself from many of its
competitors by its senior management's expertise in the development of
rehabilitation hospitals and other health care facilities and operations as well
as its in-house market research and development capabilities. The development
group is currently comprised of 15 professionals who have experience in real
estate and health care facility development, including analysts who target
potential markets through the use of an in-house developed bed need model and
developers who conduct market analysis to identify market bed needs, select
appropriate building sites, and coordinate all local and state governmental
license and permit approvals. The design and construction group is responsible
for adapting prototypical facility design to the selected site, making
adjustments to the prototype plans to comply with local building codes and
awarding and monitoring contracts with third party architects and general
contractors. In addition, the Company's design and construction group conducts
field inspections and construction draw approvals during the construction life
of the project. The development group and the design and construction group
collectively have over 150 years of construction management experience.
The Company's financial analysts generate five year projections for each
anticipated project. These projections are based on all costs associated with a
particular prototype facility chosen for that locale. All projects are subject
to predetermined hurdle rates for return on investment and minimum margins for
net operating income and pretax income. The senior management team and Board of
Directors approve all development projects. The costs to develop and construct
an Outlook Pointe(R) signature series assisted living facility is generally
projected to range between $44,000 and $85,000 per bed.
To date, the Company has developed assisted living facilities primarily for
health care REITs. The Company's recent and future development projects involve
or are expected to involve entering into development agreements with third party
owners, which are, or are expected to be, REITs. An independent third-party
company (the "Operator/Lessee") leases or is expected to lease the assisted
living facility from the REIT when construction has been completed and provide
funding for working capital during the initial occupancy period. The Company
manages, or expects to manage, the assisted living facility pursuant to
management agreements with the Operator/Lessee, which generally provide for
terms of two to nine years. Each management agreement provides, or is generally
expected to provide, for annual fees approximating 6% of net revenue of the
facility. In exchange for an option payment the Company will have the option to
purchase the stock or assets of the Operator/Lessee for an exercise price based
on formulas set forth in an option agreement.
The following table sets forth certain information as of June 30, 1998
regarding the Outlook Pointe(R) signature series assisted living facilities for
which the zoning, permitting or construction process has commenced and which the
Company is developing for other independent Operators/Lessees. For each of the
locations, the Company or the prospective third-party owner has, at a minimum,
an option to purchase the real estate on which the facility is being developed.
The Company expects to manage each facility for an Operator/Lessee. In addition
to facilities listed below, the Company is also engaged in preliminary
development activities with respect to other possible sites for future
facilities.

ACQUISITIONS AND STRATEGIC ALLIANCES
Since its inception, the Company's growth has been substantially
attributable to the acquisition of 18 assisted living facilities with a capacity
for 1,043 residents, 13 skilled nursing facilities with a capacity for 1,294
patients, and four independent living facilities with a capacity for 120
residents, as well as a home health care agency (excluding the Company's seven
Wisconsin assisted living facilities and the Pharmacy). The Company intends to
continue to pursue selective acquisitions to enter new markets, to enable the
Company to develop and provide one or more components of the Balanced Care
Continuum in its markets, to create clusters of assisted
14
<PAGE> 15
living facilities in selected markets, to benefit from operating efficiencies
and to develop a leading market position. The Company believes that clustering
facilities geographically will create opportunities for operating efficiencies
such as leveraging existing corporate office and regional operations and
marketing staff, lowering workers' compensation and other employee benefit costs
and lowering food and supplies costs. In addition, the Company will consider
entering into joint ventures or other alliances with skilled nursing, medical
rehabilitation, home health care and other senior health care providers as a
cost effective means of providing a full range of care to residents of the
Company's facilities and a senior care continuum that eases an individual's
transition from one setting to another.
In evaluating a potential acquisition, the Company considers, among other
factors: (i) location, construction quality, condition and design of the
facility; (ii) current and projected facility cash flow; (iii) the ability to
increase revenue, occupancy and cash flows by providing a full range of
services; (iv) cost of facility repositioning (including renovations, if any);
(v) the reputation of the facility in the local market; and (vi) the extent to
which the acquisition will complement the Company's development plans and
strategy. The Company's senior management and its acquisition team have
extensive experience in the acquisition of assisted living and other health care
facilities, including market assessment, identification of targets, due
diligence, negotiating, pricing, structuring, closing and integrating
acquisitions. Additionally, the Company's senior management team has extensive
acquisition experience as well as contacts with a large number of assisted
living, medical rehabilitation, home health care and skilled nursing and
subacute facility owners and operators.
The Company believes that the current fragmentation of the assisted living
industry will continue to create potential acquisition candidates for the
Company and that the competitive nature of the market will increase selling
activity as smaller, less capitalized providers face increasing competition from
larger competitors who can offer a broader range of services at more attractive
prices. The Company believes that through the reputation of its management and
the quality of the assisted living facilities it operates and is currently
developing, it will become an attractive acquirer for assisted living
facilities. The Company may pursue both strategic and single portfolio
acquisitions that meet its quality standards and present the opportunity to
increase its profitability.
OPERATIONS
CENTRALIZED CORPORATE MANAGEMENT
The Company's corporate and other administrative functions are centralized
so that the facility-based management and staff can focus on resident care. The
Company's corporate office, located in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, is generally
responsible for: (i) establishing Company-wide policies and procedures relating
to, among other things, resident care and operations; (ii) performing accounting
and finance functions; (iii) developing and implementing employee training
programs and materials; (iv) coordinating human resources; (v) food services
functions; (vi) coordinating marketing functions; and (vii) providing strategic
direction. In addition, financing, development, construction and acquisition
activities, including feasibility and market studies, facility design,
development and construction management are conducted by the Company's corporate
development and acquisition teams.
The Company manages the operations of each of its facilities through
standardized management reporting and centralized control of capital
expenditures and the purchase of larger and more frequently used supplies.
Facility expenditures are monitored by regional operations teams headed by one
of the Company's Regional Vice Presidents who are responsible for the financial
performance of the facilities in their region. The operational activities of the
Company's assisted living facilities are directed by the Company's Senior Vice
President -- Outlook Pointe(R) Division, its Vice President -- Missouri
Division, its Vice President -- Keystone Division and its Vice
President -- Rehab Therapy Division, who are responsible, with the regional Vice
Presidents, for the opening and operation of these facilities.
COMMUNITY-BASED MANAGEMENT
An assisted living Community Director or skilled nursing Facility
Administrator manages the operations at each assisted living or skilled nursing
facility, including oversight of the quality of care, delivery of resident
services, and monitoring of financial performance, and is responsible for all
personnel, including assisted living,
15
<PAGE> 16
food service, maintenance, activities, security, housekeeping, and, where
applicable, nursing. Directors and Administrators are compensated based on
attaining certain quality service goals and on the financial goals of the
facility. In most cases, each facility also has department managers that direct
nursing or care services, dining services, activities, transportation,
environmental, housekeeping and marketing functions.
In its assisted living communities, the Company has adopted the concept of
a multi-task work environment whereby each employee's responsibilities span a
number of traditional job descriptions. For example, an employee may, during the
course of a day, provide housekeeping, food delivery service, activities, and
assistance with ADLs to residents. On-site care managers and residents'
assistants provide most of the actual resident care in conjunction with a small
support team consisting of a nurse, a housekeeper, a maintenance helper, an
administrative coordinator and a small dining service team.
The Company actively recruits personnel to maintain adequate staffing
levels at its existing facilities, as well as additional staff for new or
acquired facilities, prior to opening. The Company has adopted comprehensive
recruiting and screening programs for management for positions that utilize
personnel profiling, corporate office interviews, and background checks. The
Company offers system-wide training and orientation for its resident care
employees, department level managers, and executive staff at the facility level
through Company-sponsored programs.
QUALITY ASSURANCE AND TRAINING
The Company's quality assurance program is designed to achieve, maintain
and enhance high performance in the area of resident and family satisfaction,
employee development, fiscal responsibility and corporate integrity, along with
continuous internal quality improvement. Corporate office staff oversee the
implementation of the quality assurance program at each of the Company's
facilities. Resident and family participation is encouraged and feedback is
sought through surveys, focus groups, resident councils and discussions with
family members. The Company provides intensive training programs to ensure that
its quality standards are achieved by its employees at each facility, and
strives to meet employees' needs and provide a respectful and cooperative
environment. Employees are responsible for handling finances with efficiency and
integrity and adhere to an ethical code of conduct. Internal standards for all
areas of service have been established which the Company believes meet or exceed
those of regulatory agencies. Monitoring and improving internal performance in
regard to these standards is facilitated by cross-functional performance
improvement teams. Additionally, inspections of each facility are conducted
regularly by corporate staff who review all aspects of operations, care and
services provided.
INTEGRATION OF ACQUIRED FACILITIES
The Company has developed a plan and organization structure to begin a
complete integration of each acquired facility immediately following its
acquisition. An interdisciplinary integration team begins conversion of
financial and information systems at closing, with operations, marketing and
human resource policies and procedures converted during the first six months of
operation.
MARKETING
The Company's marketing program has been developed by the corporate
marketing staff under the direction of the Company's Vice President of Sales and
Marketing and is modified in accordance with the needs of each region in which
the Company operates. Marketing focuses on creating awareness of the Company and
its services among prospective residents, their families, professional referral
sources and other key decision makers. Marketing efforts are implemented on a
regional and local level under the supervision of the corporate marketing staff.
Corporate office personnel develop the overall marketing strategies for each
facility, produce all marketing materials, maintain marketing databases, oversee
direct mailings, place all media advertising and assist facility personnel in
the initial development and continuing refinement of marketing plans. The
Company conducts pre-construction surveys of age- and income-qualified
prospective residents and their families living within a certain radius of the
proposed assisted living construction site to ensure that the Company
understands the needs and demands of a particular marketplace. Focus groups are
organized during the pre-opening phase to collect data
16
<PAGE> 17
from key community representatives about seniors' needs and to inform them of
the Company's approach to senior care.
Before opening a new assisted living facility, the Company contacts
referral sources and conducts marketing programs that generate public awareness
beginning with the start of construction and intensify several months prior to
opening of the facility. An on-site Marketing Coordinator and Community Director
are at the facility approximately four and six months, respectively, prior to
the opening of the facility and are supported by the Company's corporate
marketing department. The Company generally expects occupancy of newly developed
assisted living facilities to reach targeted occupancy of 92% within 10 to 21
months after opening, depending on the size of the facility.
Once a facility opens, the Company believes that satisfied residents and
their families are its most important referral sources. The Company's emphasis
on high quality services and resident satisfaction create a strong referral base
in the surrounding community. In addition, the Company focuses on developing the
reputation of the facilities for quality care and its Balanced Gold(R) program
among potential referral sources.
In markets where the Company offers multiple components of the Balanced
Care Continuum, such as assisted living, outpatient rehabilitation services,
skilled nursing, subacute care, home care and hospice services, a network
approach to sales and marketing is utilized. A community-based sales force that
understands the health care environment of each market, including competitor
positioning, referral patterns and the maturity of managed care, facilitates
cross selling of the Company's services. Direct sales efforts increase referrals
for all services through the account management of professional referral sources
such as physicians, hospitals, and managed care plans.
MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS
The Company's Information Systems department, under the direction of the
Company's Vice President of Corporate Services, develops, implements and
maintains management and financial systems which enable the Company to closely
monitor operating costs and quickly distribute financial and operating
information to appropriate levels of management in a cost efficient manner. The
Company uses flexible input methods and communications to allow for distributed
data collection and analysis. Management believes that its current data systems
are adequate for current operations and provide the flexibility to accommodate
the planned growth of its operations without disruption or significant
modification to existing systems through fiscal year 1999. The Company plans to
begin upgrading the existing financial system during fiscal year 1999 to
accommodate future growth. While cost estimates have not been finalized, the
system upgrade will involve expansion of the Company's systems staff and a
substantial financial commitment.
The Company uses high quality hardware and operating systems from current
and proven technologies to ensure reliability and optimum system performance. In
an effort to evaluate these systems for year 2000 issues, the Company has formed
an oversight committee. This committee has performed an inventory and risk
assessment of the Company's internal operating systems, as well as an inventory
of third party relationships and their impact on the Company. Based upon the
committee's review, the Company has determined that third party relationships
provide the highest risk related to year 2000 issues. The third party
relationships deemed most critical are the Company's banking relationships and
its relationships with third party intermediaries for nursing home
reimbursement. The Company is in the process of developing contingency plans to
address these critical relationships. The oversight committee will also oversee
the testing of any internal information technology systems which do not contain
embedded software. The testing of these systems and the time frame for
completion are in the planning stages. For those non-critical systems which
cannot be readily tested, the Company will inquire of third party vendors as to
the status of year 2000 compliance within these systems. Based upon the
Company's progress to date in addressing year 2000 issues, management does not
expect these issues to have a material impact on financial position, results of
operations or cash flows in future periods, including the cost of remediation.
17
<PAGE> 18
COMPETITION
The Company is one of the 50 largest providers of assisted living services
in the United States in terms of resident capacity, according to the Largest
Providers Annual Survey 1998, published by KPMG Peat Marwick LLP. The health
care industry is highly competitive and the Company believes that competition in
its current and targeted markets will continue to increase. There are currently
few regulatory and other barriers to entry in the assisted living industry. The
Company faces competition for residents from numerous local, regional and
national providers of facility-based assisted living and long-term care,
including skilled nursing facilities, as well as medical rehabilitation and home
health care providers. Many of the Company's present and potential competitors
are significantly larger or have greater financial resources than those of the
Company. The Company believes the primary competitive factors in the senior care
industry are: (i) reputation for, and commitment to, high quality care; (ii)
quality of support services offered (such as home health care and food
services); (iii) price of services; (iv) physical appearance and amenities
associated with the facilities; and (v) location. Because seniors tend to choose
senior living facilities near their homes, the Company's principal competitors
are other senior living and long-term care facilities in the same geographic
areas as the Company's facilities. The Company also competes with other health
care businesses with respect to attracting and retaining nurses, technicians,
aides, and other high quality professional and non-professional employees and
managers. Additionally, in implementing its growth strategy the Company will
face competition for the development and acquisition of assisted living, skilled
nursing and related senior care facilities.
Management believes that the Company's competitive position in its targeted
markets is enhanced by the disciplined practices applied to market selection.
The Company utilizes an in-house developed model for market analysis to
determine the net bed need expected for each community. This analysis considers
such factors as population, income and age demographics and the number of
competitor beds in the market to arrive at the demonstrated net bed need,
excluding the facility proposed by the Company. A net bed need of at least three
times the size proposed is necessary in order for the Company to proceed to
enter that market. Also considered are the opportunity for the Company to offer
a range of services comprising the senior living and health care continuum, the
sophistication of competitor facilities, and the ability to maximize management
resources in a specific market by clustering its development and operating
activities.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
The health care industry is subject to extensive federal, state and local
regulation. The various layers of governmental regulation affect the Company's
business by controlling its growth, requiring licensure or certification of its
facilities, regulating the use of its facilities and controlling reimbursement
to the Company for services provided. Licensing, certification and other
applicable governmental regulations vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and
are revised periodically. It is not possible to predict the content or impact of
future legislation and regulations affecting the health care industry.
Laws and regulations governing skilled nursing facilities are particularly
extensive and establish minimum standards in a variety of areas, including
physical plant specifications; personnel training and education; the level of
nursing, physician, rehabilitation, social, dietary and recreational services to
be provided; and safety and evacuation plans. The Omnibus Reconciliation Act of
1987 ("OBRA") significantly redefined the scope and nature of federal
regulations governing skilled nursing facilities certified to participate in the
Medicare and Medicaid programs, with an emphasis on resident rights and quality
of care. Skilled nursing facilities are also generally subject to and must
comply with state and/or local building and fire codes. In addition, some
states, including Missouri, have certificate of need laws applicable to skilled
nursing facilities. Certificate of need laws require that a state agency
determine that a sufficient need exists for a facility before it may be opened.
These laws may also regulate permitted capital expenditures and expansion of
services and beds.
Skilled nursing facilities, like other health care providers, are
periodically inspected by governmental agencies with authority over licensing
and certification for participation in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. New
survey and certification requirements under OBRA for participation in the
Medicare and Medicaid programs became effective in 1995, significantly changing
the process of surveying long term care facilities. These requirements
established a graduated system of penalties and remedies to match the severity
of the deficiency.

Facility deficiencies may result in the imposition of fines and penalties, a
need to undertake corrective actions, a temporary moratorium on admissions
pending correction of deficiencies, and could result in decertification from the
Medicare and Medicaid programs or loss of licensure and closure of the facility.
To date, these regulations have not had a material adverse effect on the
Company's operations. In July 1998, the Clinton Administration unveiled a series
of administrative and proposed legislative reform measures designed to assure
the delivery of quality care in nursing facilities. Included among these reforms
is a requirement that survey inspections, currently conducted by state agencies
to assess compliance with Medicare conditions of participation, occur more
frequently and less predictably and that sanctions be imposed more rapidly. The
Clinton Administration has further stated that if the state agencies are unable
to enforce the quality measures effectively, the Health Care Financing
Administration would contract with other organizations for survey and
certification services.
The federal government, through the Health Care Financing Administration,
has proposed revisions to the conditions for participation in the Medicare
program applicable to home health care providers. These revised conditions, as
proposed, focus on matters such as patient rights, outcomes of care, patient
assessment, care planning, and quality assessment. The Company is not able to
predict at this time what the content of the final revised conditions will be or
the impact the final conditions may have on the Company's home health care
services. In response to concerns voiced by Congress and home health providers,
the Health Care Financing Administration recently suspended compliance with this
rule until at least February 15, 1999, pending the issuance of a new final rule.
The Company's assisted living facilities are subject to regulation by
various state and local agencies. There are currently no federal laws or
regulations specifically governing assisted living facilities. State
requirements relating to the licensing and operation of assisted living
facilities vary from state to state; however, most states regulate many aspects
of a facility's operations, including physical plant requirements; resident
rights; personnel training and education; requisite levels of resident
independence; administration of medications; safety and evacuation plans; and
the level and nature of services to be provided, including dietary and
housekeeping. In most states, assisted living facilities must also comply with
state and local building and fire codes and certain other licenses or
certifications, such as a food service license, may be required. In addition, in
several states, including Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky and New Jersey,
certificate of need laws apply to assisted living facilities. North Carolina
imposed a 12-month moratorium, effective August 28, 1997, on the addition of
adult care home beds in the state, subject to certain exceptions. The exceptions
include, among others, an exception for certain development or expansion plans
submitted to the state prior to the date of the moratorium. The Company's
development project in Greensboro, North Carolina is not subject to the
moratorium since it meets the requirements of this exception. Although the
moratorium has expired, it is anticipated that the moratorium will be reenacted
retroactively to the date of expiration through August 26, 1999. Assisted living
facilities are subject to periodic survey by governmental agencies with
licensing authority. In certain circumstances, failure to satisfy survey
standards could result in a loss of licensure and closure of a facility.
Because assisted living facilities historically have not been considered as
traditional health care entities and government and private insurers have not
reimbursed providers for assisted living services, these facilities have not
been subject to the degree of regulation which governs nursing homes and other
health care providers. As assisted living emerges as a cost-effective
alternative to nursing facility care, it is anticipated that assisted living
facilities could become subject to more extensive regulation, particularly in
the areas of licensure and reimbursement. The content of such regulations, the
extent of any increased regulation and the impact of any such regulation on the
Company cannot be predicted at this time and there can be no assurance that such
regulations will not adversely affect the Company's business.
As a Medicare and Medicaid provider with respect to its skilled nursing
facilities and rehabilitation and home health care operations, the Company is
subject to a variety of laws regulating relationships among health care
facilities, providers and physicians. Among these laws is the federal "Stark
Act" legislation which prohibits, with some exceptions, a physician from
referring patients for certain designated health care services, including home
health care and certain rehabilitation services, to entities in which the
physician or a member of his or her family has a financial interest. In early
1998, proposed regulations relating to the Stark Act were issued. The Company is
not able to predict at this time what the content of the final regulations will
be or the impact the final regulations may have on the Company's business and
operations. The Company, as a Medicare and Medicaid
19
<PAGE> 20
provider, is also subject to federal anti-kickback laws which prohibit the
payment or receipt of any remuneration 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. Violation of these provisions could result in civil or
criminal penalties, as well as exclusion from participation in the Medicare and
Medicaid programs. There are currently a number of federal initiatives being
undertaken to increase enforcement of the federal anti-kickback law and other
antifraud and abuse provisions. The federal government, through the Office of
Inspector General, recently released a model compliance plan for home health
agencies. The model plan identifies a number of risk areas where home health
agencies need to pay particular attention to their practices and further
requires the home health agency to exercise oversight over parties with which it
does business. The Company has established a corporate compliance code of
conduct relating to, among other things, resident and patient care, and fraud
and abuse/legal policy and procedures. Additionally, the Balanced Budget Act of
1997 (the "Budget Act"), signed into law on August 5, 1997, contains a number of
antifraud provisions designed to further fight abuse and enhance program
integrity. Certain states have also enacted anti-kickback laws patterned on the
federal law. The Company believes that its operations are in substantial
compliance with the laws applicable to Medicare and Medicaid providers,
including antifraud and abuse provisions; however, there can be no assurance
that the administrative or judicial interpretation of such laws or the
regulations promulgated thereunder will not in the future have a material
adverse impact on the Company's operations or that the Company will not be
subject to an investigation which would require a significant investment of time
and manpower by the Company. Assisted living facilities may be eligible to
participate as Medicaid providers and receive reimbursement through Medicaid
waiver programs and managed care plans. If the Company elects to become a
Medicaid provider with respect to its assisted living facilities, such entities
would become subject to all of the requirements applicable to Medicaid
providers, including the antifraud and abuse legislation.
The Company derives a significant portion of its revenues from federal and
state reimbursement programs. All of the skilled nursing facilities operated by
the Company are certified to receive benefits under Medicare and Medicaid, and
the Company's home health care agency is certified under Medicare. The
reimbursement methodology for a variety of health care providers is changing
significantly as a result of provisions contained in the Budget Act, which
provisions could materially impact the Company's operations and financial
condition. The Budget Act provides for the establishment of a prospective
payment system ("PPS") for skilled nursing services (rather than the
retrospective cost-based methodology in place prior to July 1, 1998). The PPS
for skilled nursing facilities is being phased in over three cost reporting
periods, commencing on or after July 1, 1998. During the transition period, the
payment rate is based on a percentage blend of a facility-specific rate and a
federal per diem rate. Once the PPS is fully implemented, skilled nursing
facilities will be paid a federal per diem rate for covered services, which
include routine and ancillary services and most capital-related costs. In
conjunction with PPS, consolidated billing for Medicare Part A Services will be
required for skilled nursing facilities. Under consolidated billing for Medicare
Part A Services, facilities must bill Medicare for all of the services residents
receive, including all therapy services. The Company's skilled nursing
facilities began utilizing this new rate methodology on July 1, 1998. The
Company estimates the new Medicare reimbursement rates will reduce Medicare
revenues at the skilled nursing facilities by approximately $8,000,000 from
fiscal 1998 levels. To maximize operating results under the new regulations the
Company has embarked upon a program to reduce costs and manage acuity levels.
These steps included: (i) a renegotiation of therapy service contracts; (ii) a
reduction of nursing costs through managing hours worked to patient acuity;
(iii) evaluation of the need for high-cost programs; and (iv) consolidating and
eliminating certain non-patient related services. These operational changes are
expected to reduce operating costs by approximately $6,500,000 in fiscal 1999
from fiscal 1998 levels. The net result of these changes is an expected decline
of $1,500,000 in operating and pre-tax income in fiscal 1999 compared to fiscal
1998. These are estimates based on the volume of Medicare business and the
acuity of patients experienced during fiscal 1998. Actual results in fiscal 1999
could vary depending upon, among other things, the number and acuity of Medicare
patients admitted, and the Company's experience with programmatic management and
cost control. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the Budget Act
upon future operating results.
The Budget Act additionally establishes a PPS for home health care services
pursuant to which all services which are currently paid on a reasonable cost
basis will be paid on a prospective basis. The PPS for home health care services
is to begin October 1, 1999, with a transition period not to exceed four years.
Until such time as
20
<PAGE> 21
there is full implementation of the PPS for home health care services, the
Budget Act imposes a number of interim modifications on reimbursement, including
a reduction in per visit cost limits. The interim payment system implemented by
the Health Care Financing Administration is effective retroactive to October
1997 and has resulted in required repayments to the federal government by a
number of home health agencies. Reimbursement of these provider overpayments and
the imposition of per visit cost limits have created significant financial
hardship for providers, with a number of home health providers having ceased
operations. In an effort to offset the hardship caused by the repayment
obligation, the Health Care Financing Administration has authorized repayments
over a 12-month period, rather than requiring a lump sum payment. The Budget Act
also modifies reimbursement rates for rehabilitation agencies and outpatient
therapy providers. It is not possible to predict at this time the impact that
any or all these changes in reimbursement methodology may have on the business,
results of operations or financial condition of the Company, though the reform
measures are intended to reduce the amounts paid by the government for these
services.
Medicaid programs currently exist in all of the states in which the Company
has skilled nursing facilities and also apply in some of the states where the
Company has assisted living facilities. While these programs differ in certain
aspects from state to state, they are all subject to requirements imposed by the
federal government, which provides approximately 50% of the funds available
under these programs. In the states in which the Company operates skilled
nursing facilities, payments are based upon specific cost reimbursement formulas
established by that state, which are generally based on historical costs with
adjustment for inflation.
For Fiscal 1998, the Company derived approximately 43% of its gross patient
revenues from Medicare and approximately 37% of its gross patient revenues from
Medicaid. For the year ended June 30, 1997, the Company derived approximately
38% of its gross patient revenues from Medicare and approximately 38% of its
gross patient revenues from Medicaid. The Company had no revenues from Medicare
or Medicaid for the year ended June 30, 1996.
Both governmental and private-payor sources have instituted cost
containment measures designed to limit payments made to long-term health which
adversely affect reimbursements to the Company. Furthermore, although federal
regulations do not recognize state budget deficiencies as a legitimate ground to
curtail funding of their Medicaid cost reimbursement programs, states have
nevertheless curtailed such funding in the past. No assurance can be given that
states will not do so in the future or that the future funding of Medicaid
programs will remain at levels comparable to present levels.
Government reimbursement programs are also subject to statutory and
regulatory changes, administrative rulings and interpretations, determinations
by reimbursement intermediaries, and governmental funding restrictions, all of
which may materially increase or decrease the rate of program payments to health
care providers operated by the Company. In addition, there can be no assurance
that facilities or other providers owned, leased or managed by the Company, now
or in the future, will initially meet or continue to meet the requirements for
participation in such programs.
The Company believes the structure and composition of government regulation
of health care will continue to change and, as a result, it regularly monitors
developments in the law. The Company expects to modify its agreements and
operations from time to time as the business and regulatory environment changes.
While the Company believes it will be able to structure all its agreements and
operations in accordance with applicable law, there can be no assurance that its
arrangements will not be successfully challenged.
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 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.
21
<PAGE> 22
The Company is subject to various federal, state and local environmental
laws and regulations. Such laws and regulations often impose liability whether
or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of
hazardous or toxic substances. The costs of any required remediation or removal
of these substances could be substantial and the liability of an owner or
operator as to any property is generally not limited under such laws and
regulations and could exceed the property's value and the aggregate assets of
the owner or operator. The presence of these substances, or failure to remediate
such contamination properly, may also affect adversely the owner's ability to
sell or rent the property, or to borrow using the property as collateral. Under
these laws and regulations, an owner, operator or an entity that arranges for
the disposal of hazardous or toxic substances, such as asbestos-containing
materials, at the disposal site, may also be liable for the costs of any
required remediation or removal of the hazardous or toxic substances at the
disposal site. In connection with the ownership or operation of its properties,
the Company could be liable for these costs, as well as certain other costs,
including governmental fines and injuries to persons or properties.
LIABILITY AND INSURANCE
Providing health care services involves an inherent risk of liability.
Participants in the senior living and health care services industry are subject
to lawsuits alleging negligence or related legal theories, many of which may
involve large claims and result in the incurrence of significant defense costs.
The Company currently maintains property, liability and professional medical
malpractice insurance policies for the Company's owned, leased and managed
facilities with such coverages and deductibles which management believes are
prudent, adequate and in keeping with industry practice. The Company also has an
umbrella excess liability protection policy in the amount of $5.0 million to
$10.0 million per location. In addition, the Company maintains policies for
employee practices and officers and directors liability in the amounts of $1.0
million and $10.0 million respectively. There can be no assurance that a claim
in excess of the Company's insurance will not be asserted. A claim against the
Company not covered by, or in excess of, the Company's insurance, could have a
material adverse affect on the Company. The Company's insurance policies are
reviewed annually. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
obtain liability insurance in the future or that, if such insurance is
available, it will be available on acceptable terms.
EMPLOYEES
As of June 30, 1998, the Company had approximately 2,400 employees. None of
the Company's employees is represented by a union. The Company considers its
employee relations to be good. Although the Company believes it is able to
employ sufficient skilled personnel to staff the facilities it operates or
manages, a shortage of skilled personnel in any of the geographic areas in which
it operates could affect adversely the Company's ability to recruit and retain
qualified employees and its operating expenses.
RISK FACTORS
This Annual Report on Form 10-K and the 1998 Annual Report to Stockholders
contain various "forward looking statements" within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements, which represent the
Company's expectations or beliefs concerning various future events, include the
following: statements concerning anticipated effects on earnings, cost savings
and operations of the Company; net cash flow; industry trends; certain expected
capital expenditures; computer software modification and replacement; the
outcome of any government inquiries, litigation or other proceedings; the impact
of government regulation; and future environmental costs. These statements are
based on current expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties,
including the following:
Limited Operating History. The Company was formed in April 1995 and has a
limited operating history. The Company incurred losses of $909,000 and
$4,492,000 for its fiscal years ended June 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively, and
had a net income of $3,575,000 for fiscal 1998. As of June 30, 1998, the Company
had an accumulated deficit of $1,836,000. The Company's newly developed assisted
living facilities are expected to incur operating losses until they achieve
break-even occupancy levels of approximately 78%. The Company expects to achieve
targeted occupancy levels of approximately 92% approximately 10 to 21 months
after opening,
22
<PAGE> 23
depending on the size of the facility. In addition, the Company's acquired
operations, even if profitable when acquired, may incur operating losses pending
their integration into the Company's business. Several of the facilities that
have been acquired by the Company experienced operating losses in the fiscal
years ended June 30, 1997 and 1998. See "Selected Financial Data" and
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations," which are incorporated by reference from the Company's 1998 Annual
Report. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company will not
continue to incur losses. Failure to achieve profitability could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial
condition.
Implementation of Strategies. To date, the Company's growth has been
primarily attributable to acquisitions of assisted living and skilled nursing
facilities. The Company's first Outlook Pointe(R) signature series assisted
living facility opened in May 1997. The Company has opened 11 additional Outlook
Pointe(R) signature series assisted living facilities through June 30, 1998. The
Company intends to develop the Balanced Care Continuum through the development
and selective acquisition of additional assisted living facilities and, where
appropriate, skilled nursing facilities, as well as the provision of medical
rehabilitation, home health care, Alzheimer's services and skilled nursing
services. The Company expects that the number and types of facilities and
business operations that it owns, operates or manages will increase
substantially if the Company is successful in implementing its strategies.
Implementation of the Company's strategies will place a significant burden on
the Company's management resources and require the development, implementation
and continual enhancement of sufficient operational, resident care, financial
and management information systems. Successful implementation of the Company's
strategies will also depend on its ability to carry out its development plans
and to effect acquisitions and alliances and to attract, motivate and retain
management, professional, marketing and other key personnel. There can be no
assurance that its strategies can be implemented successfully or that sufficient
management resources and operational, resident or patient care, financial and
management information systems will be available. If the Company is unable to
manage its growth or to implement its strategies effectively, its business,
results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely
affected.
Need for Additional Capital. The Company will need to obtain substantial
additional capital resources to fund its development and acquisition strategy as
well as its working capital needs to fund the growth in its operations. The
Company plans to develop more than 40 additional Outlook Pointe(R) facilities by
June 30, 1999. The estimated cost to complete these facilities ranges from $350
to $400 million which substantially exceeds the financial resources currently
available to the Company. In addition, the Company estimates that the planned
development projects for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999 ("Fiscal 1999")
will require approximately $70 million of working capital commitments from
Operators/Lessees during their initial occupancy periods, which are expected to
occur during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2000 and 2001 ("Fiscal 2001"). The
Company also estimates that it will require approximately $100-200 million
through Fiscal 2001 if it exercises its options to purchase the stock or assets
of Operators/Lessees for all projects developed under this structure, through
and including Fiscal 1999 development projects. Accordingly, the Company's
future growth will depend on its ability to obtain additional development,
acquisition and working capital financing on acceptable terms. The Company may
seek additional financing through public or private financing sources, including
equity, debt or lease financing. Financings effected through the issuance of
securities could result in substantial dilution to holders of Common Stock.
There can be no assurance that adequate funding will be available as needed or
on terms acceptable to the Company. Insufficient development, acquisition and
working capital financial resources could result in the Company delaying or
eliminating all or some of its development projects and acquisition plans or
otherwise slowing the growth of its operations, which could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial
condition. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources," which are
incorporated by reference from the Company's 1998 Annual Report.
Assisted Living Facility Construction and Occupancy Risks. To date, the
Company has developed, built and opened 12 of its Outlook Pointe(R)signature
series assisted living facilities. The Company plans to open approximately 63
Company-designed assisted living facilities with an aggregate capacity of
approximately 5,300 residents by June 30, 2000. Achievement of these goals will
depend upon a number of factors, including the Company's ability to obtain
adequate financing on acceptable terms, to obtain zoning, land use, building,
23
<PAGE> 24
occupancy, licensing and other required governmental permits on a timely basis,
and to control construction costs and project completion schedules. In addition,
numerous factors outside the Company's control will impact the successful
implementation of its development plans, including competition for site
acquisitions, shortages of, or the inability to obtain, labor or materials,
changes in applicable laws or regulations or in the method of applying such laws
and regulations, the failure of general contractors or subcontractors to perform
under their contracts, strikes and adverse weather. There can be no assurance
that the Company will not encounter delays in its development program or that it
will be successful in developing and constructing planned or additional assisted
living facilities or that completed facilities will achieve targeted occupancy
rates or otherwise be economically successful. The Company's inability to
achieve its development plans or the delay of those plans could have a material
adverse effect on its business, results of operations and financial condition.
Acquisition Risks; Difficulties of Integration. To date, the Company's
growth has been primarily attributable to acquisitions. The Company may continue
to expand its business through strategic acquisitions. Pursuit of an acquisition
strategy entails the risks inherent in assessing the value, strengths,
weaknesses, contingent or other liabilities and potential profitability of
acquisition candidates and in integrating the operations of acquired businesses.
The Company's success in effecting acquisitions will depend on numerous factors,
including its ability to identify suitable acquisition candidates and negotiate
acceptable purchase terms, the competition for acquisitions, the Company's
ability to finance acquisitions, and the availability of appropriate government
licenses and approvals. Successful integration of acquired businesses will
depend on the Company's ability to effect any required changes in operations or
personnel, and may require renovation or other capital expenditures or the
funding of unforeseen liabilities. There can be no assurance that the Company
will consummate future acquisitions, that operations of acquired facilities can
be successfully integrated or that acquired operations will be profitable.
Substantial Fixed Charges; Pledge of Assets. The Company leases most of its
facilities under long-term operating leases. Lease and debt service obligations
of the Company for Fiscal 1998 aggregated approximately $16 million, including
the repayment of the mortgage relating to the Wisconsin facilities of
approximately $5 million. Leases generally provide for rent increases and
require the Company to pay taxes, utilities and insurance obligations. The
Company intends to continue to finance the development of its properties
primarily through operating leases and thus expects that the amount of its
lease-related and debt service obligations will increase as the Company pursues
its growth strategy. As a result, an increasing portion of the Company's cash
flow will be devoted to lease payments and debt service, which will reduce the
amount of cash flow otherwise available to support the Company's growth. Such
leases and mortgages also typically contain rent coverage and other financial
covenants. There can be no assurance that the Company will generate sufficient
cash flow from operations to cover required lease and debt service payments or
that the financial performance of the Company or of particular subsidiaries or
facilities will be adequate to meet applicable financial covenants. Any payment
or other default could cause a lender to foreclose upon any collateral securing
the indebtedness or, in the case of an operating lease, could terminate the
lease, resulting in a loss of revenue and asset value to the Company. In certain
cases, indebtedness secured by real estate of a facility is also secured by a
pledge of the Company's operating interest in the facility and, in certain other
cases, indebtedness and facility leases are secured by a pledge of stock of
certain of the Company's subsidiaries. Since most of the Company's leases and
financing 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 other obligations and
properties. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources," which is incorporated
by reference from the Company's 1998 Annual Report.
Government Regulation. The health care industry is subject to extensive
federal and state regulation and frequent regulatory change. Federal, state and
local laws governing long-term care and other services provided to seniors
address, among other things, adequacy of medical care, distribution of
pharmaceuticals, operating policies, licensing and certificate of need
requirements. Long-term care facilities are also periodically inspected to
assure continued compliance with various standards and licensing requirements
under state law. There are currently no federal laws or regulations specifically
defining or regulating assisted living facilities. However, while many states
have not yet enacted specific assisted living laws or regulations, the Company's
assisted living
24
<PAGE> 25
facilities are subject to state regulation, licensing, approvals by state and
local health, welfare and social service agencies and other regulatory
authorities and compliance with building codes and environmental laws. In
addition, in several states, including Arkansas, Missouri, New Jersey, Kentucky
and North Carolina, certificate of need laws apply to assisted living
facilities. Certificate of need or similar laws require that a state agency
approve certain acquisitions and determine that a need exists for certain
services, the addition of beds and capital expenditure or other changes. North
Carolina imposed a moratorium on the addition of adult care home beds, subject
to certain exceptions where binding commitments have been made to establish or
expand an adult care home facility. The moratorium has expired, but it is
expected that the moratorium will be reenacted and remain effective through
August 26, 1999. When the issuance or renewal of certificates of need or other
similar government approvals are required, changes in existing laws or adoption
of new laws could adversely affect the Company's development or acquisition
strategy and/or its operations if it is unable to obtain such certificates of
need approvals or renewals thereof. Also, health care providers have been
subjected to increasing scrutiny under anti-trust laws as the integration and
consolidation of the health care industry increases and affects competition.
Regulation of the assisted living industry is evolving. The Company cannot
predict the content of new regulations and their effect on its business. There
can be no assurance that regulatory or other legal developments will not affect
adversely the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition.
Federal and state anti-remuneration laws, such as the Medicare/Medicaid
anti-kickback law, govern certain financial arrangements (including employment
or service contracts) between health care providers and others who may be in a
position to refer or recommend patients or services to such providers. These
laws prohibit, among other things, certain direct and indirect payments that are
intended to induce the referral of patients to, the arranging for services by,
or the recommending of a particular provider of health care items or services.
The Medicare/Medicaid anti-kickback law has been broadly interpreted to apply to
certain contractual relationships between health care providers and sources of
patient referral. A number of similar state laws exist which often have not been
interpreted by courts or regulatory agencies. The Department of Health and Human
Services periodically issues "special fraud alerts" which address specific areas
of concern. The federal government, through the Office of Inspector General,
recently released a model compliance plan for home health agencies. The model
plan identifies a number of risk areas and requires the home health agency to
exercise oversight over parties with which it does business. Federal "Stark"
legislation prohibits, with limited exceptions, the referral of patients for
certain services, including home health care services, physical therapy and
occupational therapy, by a physician to entities in which they have an ownership
or financial interest. Violation of these laws can result in loss of licensure,
civil and criminal penalties, and exclusion of health care providers or
suppliers from participating in the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
Additionally, the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (the "Budget Act"), signed into
law on August 5, 1997, contains a number of anti-fraud provisions designed to
further fight abuse and enhance program integrity. Furthermore, some states
restrict certain business or fee relationships between physicians and other
providers of health care services. The Company believes that its operations are
in substantial compliance with the laws applicable to Medicare and Medicaid
providers, including anti-fraud and abuse provisions; however, there can be no
assurance that the administrative or judicial interpretation of such laws or the
regulations promulgated thereunder will not in the future have a material
adverse impact on the Company's operations or that the Company will not be
subject to an investigation which would require a significant investment of time
and manpower by the Company. Assisted living facilities may be eligible to
participate as Medicaid providers and receive reimbursement through Medicaid
waiver programs and managed care plans. If the Company elects to become a
Medicaid provider with respect to its assisted living facilities, such entities
would become subject to all of the requirements applicable to Medicaid
providers, including the anti-fraud and abuse legislation. Although the Company
believes that it complies with federal and state anti-remuneration statutes at
all times, there can be no assurance that such laws will be interpreted in a
manner consistent with the practices of the Company.
The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 requires all places of public
accommodation 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 comply with present requirements or are exempt therefrom, if
required changes involve a greater expenditure than anticipated or must be made
more quickly than anticipated, additional costs will be incurred by the Company.
Further legislation may impose
25
<PAGE> 26
additional burdens or restrictions relating to access by disabled persons. The
costs of complying with any new legislation could be substantial.
Health Care Reform. In addition to extensive existing government health
care regulation, there are many initiatives on the federal and state levels for
comprehensive reforms affecting the payment for and availability of health care
services. It is not clear what proposals, if any, will be adopted, or what
effect such proposals would have on the Company's business. Various aspects of
these health care proposals, such as reductions in funding of the Medicare and
Medicaid programs, potential changes in reimbursement regulations by the Health
Care Financing Administration ("HCFA"), enhanced pressure to contain health care
costs by Medicare, Medicaid and other payors and permitting greater state
flexibility in the administration of Medicaid, could adversely affect the
Company's business, results of operations and financial condition. The Company's
skilled nursing facilities that participate in applicable state Medicaid
programs are subject to the risk of changes in Medicaid reimbursement and
payment delays resulting from budgetary shortfalls of state Medicaid programs.
The Company's current concentration of skilled nursing facilities in Missouri
and Pennsylvania exposes it to the risk of changes in Medicaid reimbursement
programs in those states. Medicare and Medicaid certification is a critical
factor contributing to the revenues and profitability of long-term care
facilities. Changes in certification and participation requirements of the
Medicare and Medicaid programs have restricted, and are likely to further
restrict, eligibility for reimbursement under those programs. Failure to obtain
and maintain Medicare and Medicaid certification at the Company's long-term care
facilities could result in a significant loss of revenue. In addition, private
payors, including managed care payors, increasingly are demanding that providers
accept discounted fees or assume all or a portion of the financial risk for
delivery of health care services, including capitated payments where the
provider is responsible, for a fixed fee, for providing all services needed by
certain patients. Capitated payments can result in significant losses when
patients require expensive treatments not adequately covered by the capitated
rate. Efforts to impose reduced payments, greater discounts and more stringent
cost controls by government and other payors are expected to continue. The
Company cannot predict what reform proposals or reimbursement limitations will
be adopted in the future or the effect any such changes will have on its
operations. There can be no assurance that currently proposed legislation,
future health care legislation, reforms or changes in the administration or
interpretation of governmental health care programs or regulations will not have
a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and
financial condition. Concern about the potential effect of various proposed
health care reforms has contributed to volatility of prices of securities of
health care companies and could similarly affect the price of the Common Stock
in the future.
Geographic Concentration of Business. Currently, a substantial portion of
the Company's facilities, including facilities under construction and
development for independent Operators/Lessees, are located in Pennsylvania and
Missouri. Operating revenues attributable to the Company's business in those
states accounted for approximately 95% and 94% of the Company's total operating
revenues for the years ended June 30, 1997 and 1998, respectively. As part of
its strategy, the Company intends to continue to develop and acquire facilities
in Pennsylvania and Missouri, as well as other states. Until the Company's
operations become more geographically dispersed, the Company will be more
susceptible to downturns in local and regional economies and changes in state or
local regulation because such conditions and events could affect a relatively
high percentage of the total number of facilities currently in operation and
under development. As a result of such factors, there can be no assurance that
such geographic concentration will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, results of operations or financial condition.
Liability and Insurance. Providing health care services involves an
inherent risk of liability. Participants in the senior living and health care
industry are subject to lawsuits alleging negligence or related legal theories,
many of which may involve large claims and significant legal costs. The Company
currently maintains liability insurance intended to cover medical malpractice,
wrongful death and other claims which it believes is adequate and in keeping
with industry practice. However, claims in excess of the Company's insurance
coverage or claims not covered by the Company's insurance (e.g., claims for
punitive damages) may arise. A successful claim against the Company not covered
by or in excess of the Company's insurance coverage could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial
condition. Claims against the Company, regardless of their merit or eventual
outcome, may also have a material adverse effect upon the
26
<PAGE> 27
Company's reputation and its ability to attract residents or expand its
business. The Company's insurance policies generally must be renewed annually,
and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain liability
insurance coverage in the future on acceptable terms, if at all. See
"Business -- Liability and Insurance."
Competition. The senior living and health care industry is highly
competitive and the Company believes that competition in its current and
targeted markets will continue to increase. The Company faces current and
prospective competition for residents and patients and for employees from
numerous local, regional and national providers of facility-based assisted
living and long-term care, as well as rehabilitation therapy and home-based
health care providers. Many of the Company's current and potential competitors
are significantly larger and have greater financial and marketing resources than
the Company. There are currently few regulatory and other barriers to entry into
the assisted living industry. If the development of new assisted living
facilities surpasses the demand for such facilities in particular markets, such
markets could become saturated. The Company also expects to compete for
acquisitions of additional assisted living and long-term care facilities and
other senior health care operations. Competition could limit the Company's
ability to attract residents and patients and expand its business and could have
a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and
financial condition.
Environmental Risks. Under various federal, state and local environmental
laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of
real property may be held liable for the cost of removal or remediation of
certain hazardous or toxic substances that may be located on, in or under the
property. These laws and regulations may impose liability regardless of whether
the owner or operator was responsible for, or knew of, the presence of the
hazardous or toxic substances. The liability of the owner or operator and the
cost of any required remediation or removal of hazardous or toxic substances
could be substantial and is generally not limited. The presence of hazardous or
toxic substances in or under such properties could also subject the Company to
lawsuits by or liability to adjacent property owners, residents of the
facilities or employees who are injured by contamination. The presence of
hazardous or toxic substances at any property held or operated by the Company in
the future could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
results of operations and financial condition. In addition, if contamination is
found, it could adversely affect the Company's ability to continue to operate,
to lease or to sell the contaminated property or to use that property as
collateral for future loans.
Change of Control. The acquisition by one or more related persons of 50% or
more of the Common Stock constitutes a default under certain leases between the
Company and Meditrust and may result in the termination of such leases or the
exercise of other remedies thereunder by the lessor. See "Certain Relationships
and Related Transactions", which is incorporated by reference from the Company's
Proxy Statement for its 1998 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Other financing
arrangements of the Company contain similar change of control provisions which
may result in the termination of such arrangements or the exercise of other
remedies thereunder upon a change of control of the Company (as defined in such
arrangements).
Dependence on Key Personnel. The Company's success to date has been
significantly dependent on the contributions of Brad E. Hollinger, the Company's
Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer and one of its
founders, and the loss of his services could have a material adverse effect on
the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition. The
Company's success also depends to a significant extent upon a number of other
key employees of the Company. The Company is party to employment agreements with
Mr. Hollinger and several other key employees. The loss of the services of one
or more other key employees also could have a material adverse effect on the
Company. In addition, the Company believes that its future success will depend
in part upon its ability to attract and retain additional highly-skilled
professional, managerial, sales and marketing personnel. Competition for such
personnel is intense. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
successful in attracting and retaining the personnel that it requires for its
business and planned growth.
Labor Costs. The Company competes with various health care providers and
other employers for limited qualified and skilled personnel in the markets that
it serves. The Company expects that its labor costs will
27
<PAGE> 28
increase over time. Currently, none of the Company's employees is represented by
a labor union. If employees of the Company were to unionize, the Company could
incur labor costs higher than those of competitors with non-union employees. The
Company's business, results of operations and financial condition could be
adversely affected if the Company is unable to control its labor costs.
No Prior Trading Market; Potential Volatility of Stock Price. Prior to
February 1998, there had been no public market for the Common Stock, and there
can be no assurance that an active trading market for the Common Stock will be
maintained. The stock market has experienced extreme price and volume
fluctuations which have particularly affected the market price for many health
care companies and which have often been unrelated to the operating performance
of these companies. The trading price of the Common Stock could also be subject
to significant fluctuations in response to variations in periodic operating
results, changes in management, future announcements concerning the Company,
legislative or regulatory changes, general trends in the industry and other
events or factors. See "Business -- Competition" and "Business -- Government
Regulation."
Anti-Takeover Provisions. Certain provisions of the Company's Certificate
of Incorporation and Bylaws and Delaware law could have the effect of making it
more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party
from attempting to acquire, control of the Company. Such provisions could limit
the price that certain investors might be willing to pay in the future for
shares of the Company's Common Stock. Certain of such provisions allow the
Company to issue preferred stock with rights senior to those of the Common Stock
and impose various procedural and other requirements which could make it more
difficult for stockholders to effect certain corporate actions. Furthermore, the
Company has entered into certain leases, and may enter into additional financing
arrangements in the future, which provide that the Company will be in default
under such leases in the event of a change of control of the Company. See
"Change of Control."

ITEM 2--PROPERTIES
The Company's corporate office is located in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania.
In addition to its corporate office, as of June 30, 1998, the Company operated a
total of 37 assisted living facilities, 13 skilled nursing facilities and four
independent living facilities in Pennsylvania, Missouri, Arkansas, North
Carolina, Virginia, Ohio and Wisconsin, as well as a home health care agency in
Missouri and eight rehabilitation therapy operations located in Pennsylvania and
Arkansas. The buildings range in size from 27,000 square feet to 68,000 square
feet and are adaptable to construction on sites ranging from two to five acres.
Assuming completion of the planned divestiture of the Company's assisted living
facilities in Wisconsin, the Company will own nine, lease 27 and manage 11
senior living and health care facilities in Pennsylvania, Missouri, Arkansas,
North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia. A more detailed outline of information with
regard to the various properties that the Company owns and leases can be found
at "Operating Facilities" in Part I.
ITEM 3--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings arising in the
ordinary course of business. However, the Company is not involved in any legal
proceedings that it believes would have a materially adverse effect on its
business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, lawsuits
may be brought against the Company, including those involving environmental and
safety and health matters. While the amounts claimed may be substantial, the
ultimate liability cannot now be determined because of the considerable
uncertainties that exist. Therefore, it is possible that the Company's course of
business and its liquidity within a particular period may be materially affected
by unforeseen circumstances. Based on facts currently available, management
believes that the disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse
effect on the financial position of the Company.
ITEM 4--SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
None.

America, at Lessor's address set forth herein or at such other place or to such
other Person as Lessor from time to time may designate in writing, rent for the
Leased Property, as follows.
(a) PRE-CONVERSION BASE RENT: From and after the Commencement
Date and until the Conversion Date, Lessee shall pay, commencing on
September 1, 1998, and on the first day of each calendar month
thereafter, as well as on the Conversion Date, a base rent (the
"Pre-Conversion Base Rent") in arrears that is equal to the product of
(i) the Meditrust Investment from time to time outstanding multiplied
by (ii) the Pre-Conversion Rent Adjustment Rate in effect from time to
time, calculated on a daily basis.
(b) POST-CONVERSION BASE RENT: From and after the Conversion
Date, Lessee shall pay a base rent (the "Post-Conversion Base Rent")
per annum that is equal to the product of (i) the Meditrust Investment
multiplied by (ii) the Rent Adjustment Rate in effect on the Conversion
Date, payable in advance in equal, consecutive monthly installments due
on the first day of each calendar month;
<PAGE> 34
provided, however, that on each Rent Adjustment Date, the Base Rent
shall be adjusted to equal the greater of (A) the then current
Post-Conversion Base Rent multiplied by 1.02 or (B) an amount equal to
the Meditrust Investment multiplied by the Rent Adjustment Rate then in
effect on such subsequent Rent Adjustment Date and further, provided,
however, that on the Conversion Date, Lessee shall pay to Lessor the
proportionate share of the Post-Conversion Base Rent due for the period
from (and including) the Conversion Date through the end of the
calendar month during which the Conversion Date occurred.
(c) ADDITIONAL RENT: In addition to the Base Rent, commencing
on the first anniversary of the Conversion Date (the "Additional Rent
Commencement Date") the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor additional rent
(the "Additional Rent") which shall equal, in each fiscal year, the sum
of (i) the Additional Rent payable with respect to the immediately
preceding fiscal year plus (ii) an amount equal to twenty percent (20%)
of Excess Gross Revenues for the then current fiscal year. Additional
Rent shall accrue commencing on the Additional Rent Commencement Date
and shall be payable during the Term, quarterly in arrears, commencing
on the first day of the first fiscal quarter commencing after the

reconciliation as provided in Section 3.2 below. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in no event shall any increase to the Additional Rent for
any fiscal year exceed two percent (2%) of the total of Base Rent and
Additional Rent payable with respect to the immediately preceding
fiscal year.
Additional Rent payable hereunder for any fractional fiscal
year shall be prorated so that such Additional Rent shall equal the
product of (x) the Additional Rent payable with respect to the
immediately preceding fiscal year plus an amount equal to twenty
percent (20%) of the annualized Excess Gross Revenues for the
applicable fractional fiscal year multiplied by (y) a fraction (the
"Proration Factor"), the numerator of which is the number of days in
the applicable fractional fiscal year and the denominator of which is
365; provided, however, that, in no event shall the Additional Rent
payable during (A) the fiscal year in which the Additional Rent
Commencement Date occurs exceed the product of two percent (2%) of the
total of Base Rent payable with respect to the immediately preceding
fiscal year multiplied by the applicable Proration Factor and (B) any
other fractional fiscal year increase by more than the product of two
percent (2%) of the total of Base Rent and Additional Rent payable with
respect to the immediately preceding fiscal year multiplied by the
applicable Proration Factor.
(d) Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 3.1(a)
and (b) above, the Base Rent (as it may be adjusted) shall be paid
monthly in advance in equal, consecutive monthly installments on the
first day of each calendar month.
(e) Without limiting any of the other terms and conditions of
the Lease, Base Rent may be adjusted pursuant to Section 19.4 hereof.

3.2 CALCULATION AND PAYMENT OF ADDITIONAL RENT; ANNUAL
RECONCILIATION.
3.2.1 ESTIMATES AND PAYMENTS. Commencing on the Additional
Rent Commencement Date, Additional Rent to be paid during each fiscal
year during the Term shall be estimated by the Lessee at the beginning
of each fiscal year for which it is payable (and in no event shall such
estimate be less than the Additional Rent payable for the prior fiscal
year, except with respect to the estimate to be made on the Additional
Rent Commencement Date), and shall be paid quarterly in arrears (in
equal installments on the first day of July, October, January and
April) based on such estimate, to be adjusted at the end of each such
year based on the actual Excess Gross Revenues during that fiscal year.
In addition, on the Additional Rent Commencement Date, the Lessee shall
estimate the Additional Rent to be paid for the period from (and
including) the Additional Rent Commencement Date through (and
including) the end of the fiscal quarter during which the Additional
Rent Commencement Date occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on a
quarterly basis, with the prior consent of the Lessor, the Lessee may
also adjust the quarterly payments of Additional Rent to be made
hereunder based upon a comparison of (a) the actual Gross Revenues
generated by the Leased Property during the applicable fiscal quarter
and (b) the original estimate of Additional Rent for the applicable
fiscal year prepared by the Lessee and the amount of Additional Rent
already paid by the Lessee pertaining to the applicable fiscal year.
3.2.2 ANNUAL STATEMENT. In addition, within sixty (60) days
following any fiscal year for which Additional Rent is payable
hereunder, the Lessee shall deliver to the Lessor an Officer's
Certificate, reasonably acceptable to the Lessor and certified by the
chief financial officer of the Lessee, setting forth the Gross Revenues
for the immediately preceding fiscal year.
3.2.3 DEFICITS. If the Additional Rent, as finally determined
for any fiscal year (or portion thereof), exceeds the sum of the
quarterly payments of Additional Rent previously paid by the Lessee
with respect to said fiscal year, within thirty (30) days after such
determination is required to be made hereunder, the Lessee shall pay
such deficit to the Lessor and, if the deficit exceeds five percent
(5%) of the Additional Rent which was previously paid to the Lessor
with respect to said fiscal year, then the Lessee shall also pay the
Lessor interest on such deficit at the Overdue Rate from the applicable
quarterly date that such payment should have originally been made by
the Lessee to the date that the Lessor receives such payment.
3.2.4 OVERPAYMENTS. If the Additional Rent, as finally
determined for any fiscal year (or portion thereof), is less than the
amount previously paid with respect thereto by the Lessee, and if no
Lease Default exists, the Lessee shall notify the Lessor either (a) to
pay to the Lessee an amount equal to such difference or (b) to grant
the Lessee a credit against Additional Rent next coming due in the
amount of such difference.
<PAGE> 36
3.2.5 FINAL DETERMINATION. The obligation to pay Additional
Rent shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term
(as to Additional Rent payments that are due and payable with respect
to periods prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Term
and during any periods that the Lessee remains in possession of the
Leased Property), and a final reconciliation, taking into account,
among other relevant adjustments, any contractual allowances which
related to Gross Revenues that accrued prior to the date of such
expiration or earlier termination, but which have been determined to be
not payable. The Lessee's good faith best estimate of the amount of any
unresolved contractual allowances shall be made not later than two (2)
years after said expiration or termination date. Within sixty (60) days
after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, the Lessee
shall advise the Lessor of the Lessee's best estimate of the
approximate amount of such adjustments, which estimate shall not be
binding on the Lessee or have any legal effect whatsoever.
3.2.6 BEST EFFORTS TO MAXIMIZE GROSS REVENUES. The Lessee
further covenants that the operation of the Facility shall be conducted
in a manner consistent with the prevailing standards and practices
recognized in the assisted living industry as those customarily
utilized by first class business operations in the geographic region in
which the Facility is located. Subject to any applicable Legal
Requirements, the members of the Leasing Group shall use their best
efforts to maximize the Facility's Gross Revenues, and to that end, but
without limiting the foregoing, (a) an adequate staff of employees
shall be maintained at the Facility and (b) a maximum amount of space
in the Facility shall be devoted to revenue producing activities and
only such part thereof shall be devoted for office, storage and
non-revenue producing purposes as shall be reasonably necessary.
3.3 CONFIRMATION AND AUDIT OF ADDITIONAL RENT.
3.3.1 MAINTAIN ACCOUNTING SYSTEMS. The Lessee shall utilize,
or cause to be utilized, an accounting system for the Leased Property
in accordance with usual and customary practices in the assisted living
industry and in accordance with GAAP which will accurately record all
Gross Revenues. The Lessee shall retain, for at least three (3) years
after the expiration of each fiscal year (and in any event until the
final reconciliation described in Section 3.2 above has been made),
adequate records conforming to such accounting system showing all Gross
Revenues for such fiscal year.
3.3.2 AUDIT BY LESSOR. The Lessor, at its own expense except
as provided hereinbelow, shall have the right, from time to time and
upon reasonable notice to the Lessee, to have the Lessor's accountants
or representatives audit the information set forth in the Officer's
Certificate referred to in Section 3.2 and in connection with such
audits, to examine the Lessee's records with respect thereto (including
supporting data, income tax and sales tax returns), subject to any
prohibitions or limitations on disclosure of any such data under
applicable law or regulations, including without limitation, any duly
enacted "Patients' Bill of
<PAGE> 37
Rights" or similar legislation, including such limitations as may be
necessary to preserve the confidentiality of any Facility-patient
relationship and any physician-patient privilege.
3.3.3 DEFICIENCIES AND OVERPAYMENTS. If any such audit
discloses a deficiency in the reporting of Gross Revenues and either
the Lessee agrees with the result of such audit or the matter is
compromised, the Lessee shall forthwith pay to the Lessor the amount of
the deficiency in Additional Rent which would have been payable by it
had such deficiency in reporting Gross Revenues not occurred, as
finally agreed or determined, together with interest on the Additional
Rent which should have been payable by it, calculated at the Overdue
Rate, from the date when said payment should have been made by the
Lessee to the date that the Lessor receives such payment.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any
audit that is commenced more than two (2) years after the date Gross
Revenues for any fiscal year are reported by the Lessee to the Lessor,
the deficiency, if any, with respect to Additional Rent shall bear
interest as permitted herein only from the date such determination of
deficiency is made, unless such deficiency is the result of gross
negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Lessee (or any
Affiliate thereof). If any audit conducted for the Lessor pursuant to
the provisions hereof discloses that (a) the Gross Revenues actually
received by the Lessee for any fiscal year exceed those reported by the
Lessee by more than five percent (5%), the Lessee shall pay the
reasonable cost of such audit and examination or (b) the Lessee has
overpaid Additional Rent, and if no Lease Default exists, the Lessor
shall so notify the Lessee and the Lessee shall direct the Lessor
either (i) to refund the overpayment to the Lessee or (ii) grant a
credit against Additional Rent next coming due in the amount of such
difference.
3.3.4 SURVIVAL. The obligations of the Lessor and the Lessee
contained in this Section shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease.
3.4 ADDITIONAL CHARGES. Subject to the rights to contest as set forth
in Article 15, in addition to the Base Rent, (a) Lessee will also pay and
discharge as and when due and payable all Impositions, all amounts, liabilities
and obligations under the Appurtenant Agreements due from or payable by the
owner of the Leased Property, all amounts, liabilities and obligations under the
Permitted Encumbrances due from or payable by the owner of the Leased Property
and all other amounts, liabilities and obligations which Lessee assumes or
agrees to pay under this Lease, 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
Base Rent. To the extent that Lessee pays any Additional Charges to Lessor
pursuant to any requirement of this Lease, Lessee shall be relieved of its
obligation to pay such Additional Charges to any other Person to which such
Additional Charges would otherwise be due.
<PAGE> 38
3.5 [INTENTIONALLY DELETED].
3.6 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 Base
Rent, and the payments of Additional Charges throughout the Term.
3.7 NO LESSEE TERMINATION OR OFFSET.
3.7.1 NO TERMINATION. Except as may be otherwise specifically
and expressly provided in Article 13 or Article 14 in this Lease,
Lessee, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, 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 Casualty or any Taking of the Leased
Property, (b) the lawful or unlawful prohibition of, or restriction
upon, Lessee's use of the Leased Property or the interference with such
use by any Person (other than Lessor, except to the extent permitted
hereunder) or by reason of eviction by paramount title; (c) any claim
that Lessee has or might have against Lessor, (d) any default or breach
of any warranty by Lessor or any of the other Meditrust Entities under
this Lease, any other Lease Document or any Related Party Agreement,
(e) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition,
readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, winding up or other proceedings
affecting Lessor or any assignee or transferee of Lessor or (f) any
other cause whether similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing,
other than a discharge of Lessee from any of the Lease Obligations as a
matter of law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amounts collected by
Lessor under any title insurance policies insuring Lessor's interest in
the Leased Property (less any costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in
collecting the same) shall be credited against the Lease Obligations.
3.7.2 WAIVER. Lessee to the fullest extent not prohibited by
applicable law, hereby specifically waives all rights, arising from any
occurrence whatsoever, which may now or hereafter be conferred upon it
by law to (a) modify, surrender or terminate this Lease or quit or
surrender the Leased Property or (b) entitle Lessee to any abatement,
reduction, suspension or deferment of the Rent or other sums payable by
Lessee hereunder, except as otherwise specifically and expressly
provided in this Lease.
3.7.3 INDEPENDENT COVENANTS. 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 (except in those instances where the obligation to pay
expressly survives the termination of this Lease) by termination of
this Lease other than by reason of an Event of Default.
<PAGE> 39
3.8 ABATEMENT OF RENT LIMITED. There shall be no abatement of Rent on
account of any Casualty, Taking or other event, except that in the event of a
partial Taking or a temporary Taking as described in Section 14.3, the Base Rent
shall be abated as follows: (a) in the case of such a partial Taking, the
Meditrust Investment shall be reduced for the purposes of calculating Base Rent
pursuant to Section 3.1 by subtracting therefrom, as applicable, the net amount
of the Award received by Lessor, and (b) in the case of such a temporary Taking,
by reducing the Base Rent for the period of such a temporary Taking, by the net
amount of the Award received by Lessor.
For the purposes of this Section 3.8, the "net amount of the Award
received by Lessor" shall mean the Award paid to Lessor on account of such
Taking, minus all costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in connection therewith,
and minus any amounts paid to or for the account of Lessee to reimburse for the
costs and expenses of reconstructing the Facility following such Taking in order
to create a viable and functional Facility under all of the circumstances.
ARTICLE 4
IMPOSITIONS; TAXES; UTILITIES;
INSURANCE PAYMENTS
4.1 PAYMENT OF IMPOSITIONS.
4.1.1 LESSEE TO PAY. Subject to the provisions of Article 15,
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 authority where feasible, and Lessee
will promptly furnish Lessor copies of official receipts or other
satisfactory proof evidencing payment not later than the last day on
which the same may be paid without penalty or interest. Subject to the
provisions of Article 15 and Section 4.1.2, Lessee's obligation to pay
such Impositions shall be deemed absolutely fixed upon the date such
Impositions become a lien upon the Leased Property or any part thereof.
4.1.2 INSTALLMENT ELECTIONS. If any such 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 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
(subject to Lessee's right to contest pursuant to the provisions of
Section 4.1.5 below) as the same respectively become due and before any
fine, penalty, premium, further interest or cost may be added thereto.
4.1.3 RETURNS AND REPORTS. 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
<PAGE> 40
receipts, franchise taxes and taxes on its capital stock, and 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. 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 that any Governmental
Authority classifies any property covered by this Lease as personal
property, Lessee shall file all personal property tax returns in such
jurisdictions where it may legally so file. Lessor, to the extent it
possesses the same, and Lessee, to the extent it possesses the same,
will provide the other party, upon request, with cost and depreciation
records necessary for filing returns for any portion of Leased Property
so classified as personal property. Where Lessor is legally required to
file personal property tax returns, if Lessee notifies Lessor of the
obligation to do so in each year at least thirty (30) days prior to the
date any protest must be filed, Lessee will be provided with copies of
assessment notices so as to enable Lessee to file a protest.
4.1.4 REFUNDS. If no Lease Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, 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 a Lease Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at Lessor's
option, such funds shall be paid over to Lessor and/or retained by
Lessor and applied toward the Obligations in accordance with the Lease
Documents and/or the Related Party Agreements.
4.1.5 PROTEST. Upon giving notice to Lessor, at Lessee's
option and sole cost and expense, and subject to compliance with the
provisions of Article 15, Lessee may contest, protest, appeal, or
institute such other proceedings as Lessee may deem appropriate to
effect a reduction of any Imposition and Lessor, at Lessee's cost and
expense as aforesaid, shall fully cooperate in a reasonable manner with
Lessee in connection with such protest, appeal or other action.
4.2 NOTICE OF IMPOSITIONS. Lessor shall give prompt notice to Lessee of
all Impositions payable by Lessee hereunder of which Lessor at any time has
knowledge, but Lessor's failure to give any such notice shall in no way diminish
Lessee's obligations hereunder to pay such Impositions.
4.3 ADJUSTMENT OF IMPOSITIONS. Impositions imposed in respect of the
period during which the expiration or earlier termination of the Term occurs
shall be adjusted and prorated between Lessor and Lessee, whether or not such
Impositions are imposed before or after such expiration or termination, and
Lessee's obligation to pay its prorated share thereof shall survive such
expiration or termination.
4.4 UTILITY CHARGES. Lessee will pay or cause to be paid all charges
for electricity, power, gas, oil, water, telephone and other utilities used in
the Leased Property during the Term and thereafter until Lessee surrenders the
Leased Property in the manner required by this Lease.
<PAGE> 41
4.5 INSURANCE PREMIUMS. Lessee will pay or cause to be paid all
premiums for the insurance coverage required to be maintained pursuant to
Article 12 during the Term, and thereafter until Lessee yields up the Leased
Property in the manner required by this Lease. All such premiums shall be paid
annually in advance and Lessee shall furnish Lessor with evidence satisfactory
to Lessor that all such premiums have been so paid prior to the commencement of
the Term and thereafter at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of each
premium which thereafter becomes due. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee may
pay such insurance premiums to the insurer in monthly installments so long as
the applicable insurer is contractually obligated to give Lessor not less than a
sixty (60) days notice of non-payment and so long as no Lease Default has
occurred and is continuing. In the event of the failure of Lessee either to
comply with the insurance requirements in Article 12, or to pay the premiums for
such insurance, or to deliver such policies or certificates thereof to Lessor at
the times required hereunder, Lessor shall be entitled, but shall have no
obligation, to effect such insurance and pay the premiums therefor, which
premiums shall be a demand obligation of Lessee to Lessor.
4.6 DEPOSITS.
4.6.1 LESSOR'S OPTION. Upon a Lease Default, or an event
which, with the giving of notice or passage of time, and/or both, would
constitute a Lease Default, at the option of Lessor, which may be
exercised at any time thereafter, Lessee shall, upon written request of
Lessor, on the first day of the calendar month immediately following
such request, and on the first day of each calendar month thereafter
during the Term (each of which dates is referred to as a "Monthly
Deposit Date"), pay to and deposit with Lessor a sum equal to
one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Impositions to be levied, charged, filed,
assessed or imposed upon or against the Leased Property within one (1)
year after said Monthly Deposit Date and a sum equal to one-twelfth
(1/12th) of the premiums for the insurance policies required pursuant
to Article 12 which are payable within one (1) year after said Monthly
Deposit Date. If the amount of the Impositions to be levied, charged,
assessed or imposed or insurance premiums to be paid within the ensuing
one (1) year period shall not be fixed upon any Monthly Deposit Date,
such amount for the purpose of computing the deposit to be made by
Lessee hereunder shall be estimated by Lessor with an appropriate
adjustment to be promptly made between Lessor and Lessee as soon as
such amount becomes determinable. In addition, Lessor may, at its
option, from time to time require that any particular deposit be
greater than one-twelfth (1/12th) of the estimated amount payable
within one (1) year after said Monthly Deposit Date, if such additional
deposit is required in order to provide to Lessor a sufficient fund
from which to make payment of all Impositions on or before the next due
date of any installment thereof, or to make payment of any required
insurance premiums not later than the due date thereof.
4.6.2 USE OF DEPOSITS. The sums deposited by Lessee under this
Section 4.6 shall be held by Lessor and shall be applied in payment of
the Impositions or insurance premiums, as the case may be, when due.
Any such deposits may be commingled with other assets of Lessor, and
shall be deposited by Lessor at such bank as Lessor may, from time to
time select. Lessor may, at its election from
<PAGE> 42
time to time exercised, invest all or part of such deposits in one or
more of the investment vehicles described on EXHIBIT A to the Deposit
Pledge Agreement. Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee or any other
Person (a) based on Lessor's (or such bank's) choice of investment
vehicles, (b) for any consequent loss of principal or interest or (c)
for any unavailability of funds based on such choice of investment.
Furthermore, Lessor shall bear no responsibility for the financial
condition of, nor any act or omission by, Lessor's depository bank. The
income from such investment or interest on such deposit shall be paid
to Lessee on a semi-annual basis as long as no Lease Default has
occurred and is then continuing, and as long as no fact or circumstance
exists which, with the giving of notice and/or the passage of time,
would constitute a Lease Default. Lessee shall give not less than ten
(10) days prior written notice to Lessor in each instance when an
Imposition or insurance premium is due, specifying the Imposition or
premium to be paid and the amount thereof, the place of payment, and
the last day on which the same may be paid in order to comply with the
requirements of this Lease. If Lessor, in violation of its obligations
under this Lease, does not pay any Imposition or insurance premium when
due, for which a sufficient deposit exists, Lessee shall not be in
default hereunder by virtue of the failure of Lessor to pay such
Imposition or such insurance premium and Lessor shall pay any interest
or fine assessed by virtue of Lessor's failure to pay such Imposition
or insurance premium.
4.6.3 DEFICITS. If for any reason any deposit held by Lessor
under this Section 4.6 shall not be sufficient to pay an Imposition or
insurance premium within the time specified therefor in this Lease,
then, within ten (10) days after demand by Lessor, Lessee shall deposit
an additional amount with Lessor, increasing the deposit held by Lessor
so that Lessor holds sufficient funds to pay such Imposition or premium
in full (or in installments as otherwise provided for herein), together
with any penalty or interest due thereon. Lessor may change its
estimate of any Imposition or insurance premium for any period on the
basis of a change in an assessment or tax rate or on the basis of a
prior miscalculation or for any other good faith reason; in which
event, within ten (10) days after demand by Lessor, Lessee shall
deposit with Lessor the amount in excess of the sums previously
deposited with Lessor for the applicable period which would theretofore
have been payable under the revised estimate.
4.6.4 OTHER PROPERTIES. If any Imposition shall be levied,
charged, filed, assessed, or imposed upon or against the Leased
Property, and if such Imposition shall also be a levy, charge,
assessment, or imposition upon or for any other real or personal
property that does not constitute a part of the Leased Property, then
the computation of the amounts to be deposited under this Section 4.6
shall be based upon the entire amount of such Imposition and Lessee
shall not have the right to apportion any deposit with respect to such
Imposition.
4.6.5 TRANSFERS. In connection with any assignment of Lessor's
interest under this Lease, the original Lessor named herein and each
successor in interest shall have the right to transfer all amounts
deposited pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.6 and still in
its possession to such assignee (as the subsequent holder
<PAGE> 43
of Lessor's interest in this Lease) and upon such transfer and delivery
of notice thereof to Lessee, the original Lessor named herein or the
applicable successor in interest transferring the deposits shall
thereupon be completely released from all liability with respect to
such deposits so transferred and Lessee shall look solely to said
assignee, as the subsequent holder of Lessor's interest under this
Lease, in reference thereto.
4.6.6 SECURITY. All amounts deposited with Lessor pursuant to
the provisions of this Section 4.6 shall be held by Lessor as
additional security for the payment and performance of the Obligations
and, upon the occurrence of any Lease Default, Lessor may, in its sole
and absolute discretion, apply said amounts towards payment or
performance of such Obligations.
4.6.7 RETURN. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease, provided, that, all of the Lease Obligations have been
fully paid and performed, any sums then held by Lessor under this
Section 4.6 shall be refunded to Lessee; unless a Related Party Default
has occurred, in which event such sums may be applied towards the
Obligations in accordance with the Related Party Agreements.
4.6.8 RECEIPTS. Lessee shall deliver to Lessor copies of all
notices, demands, claims, bills and receipts in relation to the
Impositions and insurance premiums immediately upon receipt thereof by
Lessee.

the exclusive possession and use of the Leased Property upon the terms and
conditions of this Lease.
5.2 PERSONAL PROPERTY; REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF PERSONAL PROPERTY.
5.2.1 LESSEE TO EQUIP FACILITY. Lessee, at its sole cost and
expense, shall install, affix or assemble or place on the Leased
Property, sufficient items of Tangible Personal Property to enable the
Leased Property to be operated from and after the Conversion Date in
accordance with the requirements of this Lease for the Primary Intended
Use, and such Tangible Personal Property and replacements thereof,
shall be at all times the property of Lessee.
5.2.2 SUFFICIENT PERSONAL PROPERTY. Lessee shall maintain,
during the entire Term, the Tangible Personal Property in good order
and repair and shall provide at its expense all necessary replacements
thereof, as may be necessary in order to operate the Leased Property,
from and after the Conversion Date, in
<PAGE> 44
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 addition, Lessee shall, from
and after the Conversion Date, (a) furnish all necessary replacements
of obsolete items of the Tangible Personal Property during the Term,
unless Lessee provides Lessor with an explanation (reasonably
acceptable to Lessor) as to why such Tangible Personal Property is no
longer required in connection with the operation of the Leased Property
and (b) at least once a year, and more frequently if requested by
Lessor, deliver to Lessor, a detailed inventory of all such Tangible
Personal Property.
5.2.3 REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT; LESSOR'S OPTION TO PURCHASE.
Lessee shall not remove from the Leased Property any one or more items
of Tangible Personal Property (whether now owned or hereafter
acquired), the fair market value of which exceeds THIRTY-FIVE THOUSAND
DOLLARS ($35,000), individually or ONE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
($150,000.00) collectively, except if such Tangible Personal Property
is simultaneously suitably replaced or Lessee provides Lessor with an
explanation (reasonably satisfactory to Lessor) as to why such Tangible
Personal Property is no longer required in connection with the
operation of the Leased Property. At its sole cost and expense, Lessee
shall restore the Leased Property to the condition required by Article
8, including repair of all damage to the Leased Property caused by the
removal of the Tangible Personal Property, whether effected by Lessee
or Lessor. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease,
Lessor shall have the option, which may be exercised prior to or within
sixty (60) days following such expiration or termination, of (a)
acquiring the Tangible Personal Property (pursuant to a bill of sale
and assignments of any equipment leases, all in such forms as are
reasonably satisfactory to Lessor) upon payment of its book value
(Lessee's cost, minus depreciation), but not in excess of its fair
market value or (b) requiring Lessee to remove the Tangible Personal
Property. If Lessor exercises its option to purchase the Tangible
Personal Property, the price to be paid by Lessor shall be (i) reduced
by the amount of all payments due on any equipment leases or any other
Permitted Prior Security Interests assumed by Lessor and (ii) applied
to the Lease Obligations before any payment to Lessee. If Lessor
requires the removal of the Tangible Personal Property, then all of the
Tangible Personal Property that is not removed by Lessee within ten
(10) days following such request shall be considered abandoned by
Lessee and may be appropriated, sold, destroyed or otherwise disposed
of by Lessor without first giving notice thereof to Lessee, without any
payment to Lessee and without any obligation to account therefor.

INTERESTS.
6.1.1 SECURITY. In order to secure the payment and performance
of all of the Obligations, Lessee agrees to provide or cause there to
be provided, among other things, the following security:
(a) a first lien and exclusive security interest in
the Tangible Personal Property, Receivables and certain other
Collateral as more particularly provided for in the Security
Agreement;
(b) the Cash Collateral;
(c) a first lien and exclusive pledge of all of the
capital stock of Lessee all as more particularly set forth in

Person shall also be provided pursuant to a pledge and
security agreement substantially similar to the Pledge
Agreement; and
(d) a first lien and exclusive pledge and assignment
of, and security interest in, all Permits and Contracts, as
more particularly provided for in the Permits Assignments.
<PAGE> 46
6.1.2 PURCHASE-MONEY SECURITY INTERESTS AND EQUIPMENT LEASES.
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof regarding the creation of
Liens, but subject to Section 11.3.4, Lessee may (a) grant priority
purchase money security interests in items of Tangible Personal
Property and (b) lease Tangible Personal Property from equipment
lessors for the exclusive use of the Facility, as long as in each
instance: (i) the secured party or equipment lessor enters into an
intercreditor agreement with, and satisfactory to, Lessor, pursuant to
which, without limiting the foregoing, (x) Lessor shall be afforded the
option of curing defaults and the option of succeeding to the rights of
Lessee and (y) Lessor's security interest in Tangible Personal
Property, shall be subordinated to the security interest granted to
such secured party (ii) all of the terms, conditions and provisions of
the financing, security interest or lease are reasonably acceptable to
Lessor, (iii) Lessee provides a true and complete copy, as executed, of
each such purchase money security agreement, financing document and
equipment lease and all amendments thereto and (iv) no such security
interest, financing agreement or lease is cross-defaulted or
cross-collateralized with any other obligation. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Lessee may lease, or grant purchase money security interests
in, new items of Tangible Personal Property having an aggregate cost
during the Term in an amount not to exceed TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
($200,000) without complying with the foregoing requirements, provided
that Lessee shall provide Lessor with a true and complete copy, as
executed, of each purchase money security agreement, related financing

interests granted by Lessee in full compliance with the provisions of
this Section 6.1.2 are referred to as "Permitted Prior Security

the Pledgor's obligations under the Note shall be unconditionally and
irrevocably guaranteed by the Lessee pursuant to the Lessee's Guaranty.

CONDITION AND USE OF LEASED PROPERTY;
MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS
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 acquired 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 and satisfactory for its purposes hereunder. 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. LESSOR
MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE
LEASED PROPERTY, EITHER AS TO ITS FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE, ITS
DESIGN OR CONDITION OR OTHERWISE, OR AS TO DEFECTS IN THE QUALITY OF THE
MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP THEREIN, LATENT OR PATENT; IT BEING AGREED THAT ALL
RISKS RELATING TO THE DESIGN, CONDITION AND/OR USE OF THE LEASED PROPERTY ARE TO
BE BORNE BY LESSEE. LESSEE HEREBY ASSUMES ALL RISK OF THE PHYSICAL CONDITION OF
THE LEASED PROPERTY, THE SUITABILITY OF THE LEASED PROPERTY FOR LESSEE'S
PURPOSES, AND THE COMPLIANCE OR NON-COMPLIANCE OF THE LEASED PROPERTY WITH ALL
APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS OF LAW, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS
AND ZONING OR LAND USE LAWS.
Upon the request of Lessor, accompanied by an explanation reasonably
establishing a justification for such request, at any time and from time to time
during the Term, Lessee shall engage one (1) or more independent professional
consultants, engineers and inspectors, qualified to do business in the State and
acceptable to Lessor to perform any environmental and/or structural
investigations and/or other inspections of the Leased Property and the Facility
as Lessor may reasonably request in order to detect (a) any structural
deficiencies in the Leased Improvements or the utilities servicing the Leased
Property or (b) the presence of any condition that (i) may be harmful or present
a health hazard to the patients, residents and other occupants of the Leased
Property or (ii) constitutes a breach or violation of any of the Lease
Documents. In the event that Lessor reasonably determines that the results of
such testing or inspections are unsatisfactory, within thirty (30) days of
notice from Lessor, Lessee shall commence such appropriate remedial actions as
may be reasonably requested by Lessor to correct such unsatisfactory conditions
and, thereafter, shall diligently and continuously prosecute such remedial
actions to completion within the time limits prescribed in this Lease or the
other Lease Documents.

applicable Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements.
7.2.2 PERMITTED USES. From and after the Conversion Date,
Lessee shall use the Leased Property, or permit the Leased Property to
be used, only for the Primary Intended Use and, prior to the Conversion
Date, the Leased Property may only be used for the completion of the
construction of the Project in accordance with the terms of the
Leasehold Improvement Agreement. Lessee shall not use the Leased
Property or permit the Leased Property to be used for any other use
without the prior written consent of Lessor, which consent may be
withheld in Lessor's sole and absolute discretion.
7.2.3 COMPLIANCE WITH INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS. No use shall be
made or permitted to be made of the Leased Property and no acts shall
be done which will cause the cancellation of any insurance policy
covering the Leased Property, nor shall Lessee, any Manager or any
other Person sell or otherwise provide to any patients, residents,
other occupants or invitees therein, or permit to be kept, used or sold
in or about the Leased Property, any article which may be prohibited by
any Legal Requirement or by any of the Insurance Requirements.
Furthermore, Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense, take whatever
other actions that may be necessary to comply with and to insure that
the Leased Property complies with all Insurance Requirements.
7.2.4 NO WASTE. Lessee shall not commit or suffer to be
committed any waste on, in or under the Leased Property, nor shall
Lessee cause or permit any nuisance thereon.
7.2.5 NO IMPAIRMENT. Lessee shall neither suffer nor permit
the Leased Property to be used in such a manner as (a) might reasonably
tend to impair Lessor's title thereto or (b) may reasonably make
possible a claim or claims of adverse usage or adverse possession by
the public or of implied dedication of the Leased Property.
7.2.6 NO LIENS. Except as permitted pursuant to Section 6.1.2,
Lessee shall not permit or suffer any Lien to exist on the Tangible
Personal Property and shall in no event cause, permit or suffer any
Lien to exist with respect to the Leased Property other than as set

7.3 COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL REQUIREMENTS. Lessee covenants and agrees
that the Leased Property shall not be used for any unlawful purpose and that
Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, will promptly (a) comply with, and shall
cause every other member of the Leasing Group to comply with, all Legal
Requirements relating to the use, operation,
<PAGE> 49
maintenance, repair and restoration of the Leased Property, whether or not
compliance therewith shall require structural change in any of the Leased
Property or interfere with the use and enjoyment of the Leased Property and (b)
procure, maintain and comply with (in all material respects), and shall cause
every other member of the Leasing Group to procure, maintain and comply with (in
all material respects), all Contracts and Permits necessary in order to operate
the Leased Property for the Primary Intended Use, and for compliance with all of
the terms and conditions of this Lease. Unless a Lease Default has occurred or
any event has occurred which, with the passage of time and/or the giving of
notice would constitute a Lease Default, Lessee may, upon prior written notice
to Lessor, contest any Legal Requirement to the extent permitted by, and in
accordance with, Article 15.
7.4 MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS. From and after the Commencement Date, Lessee
shall not enter into any Management Agreement without the prior written approval
of Lessor, in each instance, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Lessee shall not, without the prior written approval of Lessor, in each
instance, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, agree to or allow:
(a) any change in the Manager or change in the ownership or control of the
Manager, (b) any change in the Management Agreement, (c) the termination of any
Management Agreement (other than in connection with the exercise by Lessee of
any of its remedies under any Management Agreement as a result of any default by
any Manager thereunder), (d) any assignment by the Manager of its interest under
the Management Agreement or (e) any material amendment of the Management
Agreement. In addition, Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly and
fully perform or cause to be performed every covenant, condition, promise and
obligation of the licensed operator of the Leased Property under any Management
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Lessee enters into
any Management Agreement with an Affiliate of Lessee, Lessor shall consent to
the execution and delivery of such Management Agreement provided, that,
concurrently with the execution and delivery of such Management Agreement, the
Affiliated Party Subordination Agreement is amended so as to add as a party
thereto the applicable Affiliate of Lessee that is to be the Manager (so that
the payments to be made under such Management Agreement are fully subordinated
to the Lease Obligations).
Each Management Agreement shall provide that Lessor shall be provided
notice of any defaults thereunder and, at Lessor's option, an opportunity to
cure such default. Lessee shall furnish to Lessor, within three (3) days after
receipt thereof, or after the mailing or service thereof by Lessee, as the case
may be, a copy of each notice of default which Lessee shall give to, or receive
from any Person, based upon the occurrence, or alleged occurrence, of any
default in the performance of any covenant, condition, promise or obligation
under any Management Agreement.
Whenever and as often as Lessee shall fail to perform, promptly and
fully, at its sole cost and expense, any covenant, condition, promise or
obligation on the part of the licensed operator of the Leased Property under and
pursuant to any Management Agreement, Lessor, or a lawfully appointed receiver
of the Leased Property, may, at their respective options (and without any
obligation to do so), after five (5) days' prior notice to Lessee (except in the
case of an emergency) enter upon the Leased Property and perform,
<PAGE> 50
or cause to be performed, such work, labor, services, acts or things, and take
such other steps and do such other acts as they may deem advisable, to cure such
defaulted covenant, condition, promise or obligation, and any amount so paid or
advanced by Lessor or such receiver and all costs and expenses reasonably
incurred in connection therewith (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees
and expenses and court costs), shall be a demand obligation of Lessee to Lessor
or such receiver, and, Lessor shall have the same rights and remedies for
failure to pay such costs on demand as for Lessee's failure to pay any other
sums due hereunder.

ARTICLE 8
REPAIRS; RESTRICTIONS
8.1 MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR.
8.1.1 LESSEE'S RESPONSIBILITY. Lessee, at its sole cost and
expense, shall keep the Leased Property and all private roadways,
sidewalks and curbs appurtenant thereto 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 or such private roadways, sidewalks
and curbs or any other cause whatsoever) and, subject to Articles 9, 13
and 14, Lessee shall promptly, with the exercise of all reasonable
efforts, undertake and diligently complete all necessary and
appropriate repairs, replacements, renovations, restorations,
alterations and modifications thereof of every kind and nature, whether
interior or exterior, structural or non-structural, ordinary or
extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen or arising by reason of a
condition (concealed or otherwise) existing prior to the commencement
of, or during, the Term and thereafter until Lessee surrenders the
Leased Property in the manner required by this Lease. In addition,
Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall make all repairs,
modifications, replacements, renovations and alterations of the Leased
Property (and such private roadways, sidewalks and curbs) that are
necessary to comply with all applicable Legal Requirements and
Insurance Requirements so that, from and after the Conversion Date, the
Leased Property can be legally operated for the Primary Intended Use.
All repairs, replacements, renovations, alterations, and modifications
required by the terms of this Section 8.1 shall be (a) performed in a
good and workmanlike manner in compliance with all Legal Requirements,
Insurance Requirements and the requirements of Article 9 hereof, using
new materials well suited for their intended purpose and (b) consistent
with the operation of the Leased Property in a first class manner.
Lessee will not take or omit to take any action the taking or omission
of which might materially impair the value or the usefulness of the
Leased Property for the Primary Intended Use. To the extent that any of
the repairs, replacements, renovations, alterations or modifications
required by the terms of this Section 8.1 constitute Material
Structural Work, Lessee shall obtain Lessor's prior written approval
(which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) of the specific
repairs, replacements, renovations, alterations and modifications to be
performed by or on behalf of Lessee in connection with such Material
Structural Work. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a bona
fide emergency during which Lessee is unable to contact the appropriate
representatives of Lessor, Lessee may commence such Material Structural
Work as may be necessary in order to address such emergency without
Lessor's prior approval, provided, however, that Lessee shall
immediately thereafter advise Lessor of such emergency and the nature
and scope of the Material Structural Work commenced and shall obtain
Lessor's approval of the remaining Material Structural Work to be
completed.
<PAGE> 52
8.1.2 NO LESSOR OBLIGATION. Lessor shall not, under any
circumstances, be required to build or rebuild any improvements on the
Leased Property (or any private roadways, sidewalks or curbs
appurtenant thereto), or to make any repairs, replacements,
renovations, alterations, restorations, modifications, or renewals of
any nature or description to the Leased Property (or any private
roadways, sidewalks or curbs appurtenant thereto), whether ordinary or
extraordinary, structural or non-structural, foreseen or unforeseen, or
to make any expenditure whatsoever with respect thereto in connection
with this Lease, or to maintain the Leased Property (or any private
roadways, sidewalks or curbs appurtenant thereto) in any way.
8.1.3 LESSEE MAY NOT OBLIGATE LESSOR. Nothing contained herein
nor any action or inaction by Lessor shall be construed as (a)
constituting the consent or request of Lessor, express or implied, to
any contractor, subcontractor, laborer, materialman or vendor to or for
the performance of any labor or services for any construction,
alteration, addition, repair or demolition of or to the Leased Property
or (b) 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 for the payment thereof or to make
any agreement that may create, or in any way be the basis for, any
right, title or interest in, or Lien or claim against, the estate of
Lessor in the Leased Property. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the right title and interest of Lessor in and to the Leased
Property shall not be subject to liens or encumbrances for the
performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials
or other property furnished to the Leased Property at or by the request
of Lessee or any other Person other than Lessor. Lessee shall notify
any contractor, subcontractor, laborer, materialman or vendor providing
any labor, services or materials to the Leased Property of this
provision.
8.2 ENCROACHMENTS; TITLE RESTRICTIONS. If any of the Leased
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 lawful restrictive covenant or other Lien now or
hereafter affecting the Leased Property, or shall impair the rights of others
under any easement, right-of-way or other Lien to which the Leased Property is
now or hereafter subject, then promptly upon the request of Lessor, Lessee
shall, at its sole cost and expense, subject to Lessee's right to contest the
existence of any encroachment, violation or impairment as set forth in Article
15, (a) obtain valid and effective waivers or settlements of all claims,
liabilities and damages resulting from each such encroachment, violation or
impairment or (b) make such alterations to the Leased Improvements, 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall, in any event, take
all such actions as may be reasonably necessary in order to be able to continue
the operation of the Leased Improvements for the Primary Intended Use
substantially in the manner and to the extent that the Leased Improvements were
operated prior to the assertion of such
<PAGE> 53
encroachment, violation or impairment as contemplated by this Lease, the
Leasehold Improvement Agreement and the other Lease Documents and nothing
contained herein shall limit Lessee's obligations to operate the Leased
Property, from and after the Conversion Date, in accordance with its Primary
Intended Use. Any such alteration made pursuant to the terms of this Section 8.2
shall be completed in conformity with the applicable requirements of Section 8.1
and Article 9. 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.
ARTICLE 9

CAPITAL ADDITIONS
9.1 LESSOR'S APPROVAL. Without the prior written consent of Lessor,
which consent may be withheld by Lessor, in its sole and absolute discretion,
Lessee shall make no Capital Addition or Material Structural Work to the Leased
Property (including, without limitation, any change in the size or unit or bed
capacity of the Facility), except as may be otherwise expressly required
pursuant to Article 8.
9.2 GENERAL PROVISIONS AS TO CAPITAL ADDITIONS AND CERTAIN MATERIAL
STRUCTURAL WORK. As to any Capital Addition or Material Structural Work (other
than such Material Structural Work that is required to be performed pursuant to
the terms of Section 8.1) for which Lessor has granted its prior written
approval, the following terms and conditions shall apply unless otherwise
expressly set forth in Lessor's written approval.
9.2.1 NO LIENS. Lessee shall not be permitted to create any
Lien on the Leased Property in connection with any Capital Addition or
Material Structural Work.
9.2.2 LESSEE'S PROPOSAL REGARDING CAPITAL ADDITIONS AND
MATERIAL STRUCTURAL WORK. If Lessee desires to undertake any Capital
Addition or Material Structural Work, Lessee shall submit to Lessor in
writing a proposal setting forth in reasonable detail any proposed
Capital Addition or Material Structural Work and shall provide to
Lessor copies of, or information regarding, the applicable plans and
specifications, Permits, Contracts and any other materials concerning
the proposed Capital Addition or Material Structural Work, as the case
may be, as Lessor may reasonably request. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, each such proposal pertaining to any
Capital Addition shall indicate the approximate projected cost of
constructing such Capital Addition, the use or uses to which it will be
put and a good faith estimate of the change, if any, in the gross
revenues that Lessee anticipates will result from the construction of
such Capital Addition.
9.2.3 LESSOR'S OPTIONS REGARDING CAPITAL ADDITIONS AND
MATERIAL STRUCTURAL WORK. Lessor shall have the options of: (a) denying
permission for the
<PAGE> 54
construction of the applicable Capital Addition or Material Structural
Work, (b) offering to finance the construction of the Capital Addition
or Material Structural Work pursuant to Section 9.3, (c) allowing
Lessee to pay for or separately finance the construction of the Capital
Addition or Material Structural Work, subject to compliance with the
terms and conditions of Section 9.2.1, Section 9.4, Section 13.1, all
Legal Requirements and all other requirements of this Lease and to such
other terms and conditions as Lessor may in its discretion impose or
(d) any combination of the foregoing. Unless Lessor notifies Lessee in
writing of a contrary election within forty-five (45) days of Lessee's
request, Lessor shall be deemed to have denied the request for the
Capital Addition or Material Structural Work.
9.2.4 LESSOR MAY ELECT TO FINANCE CAPITAL ADDITIONS OR
MATERIAL STRUCTURAL WORK. If Lessor elects to offer financing for the
proposed Capital Addition or Material Structural Work, the provisions
of Section 9.3 shall apply.
9.3 CAPITAL ADDITIONS AND MATERIAL STRUCTURAL WORK FINANCED BY LESSOR.
9.3.1 LESSEE'S FINANCING REQUEST. Lessee may request that
Lessor provide or arrange financing for a Capital Addition or Material
Structural Work by providing to Lessor such information about the
Capital Addition or Material Structural Work as Lessor may reasonably
request, including, without limitation, all information referred to in
Section 9.2 above. Lessee understands, however, that Lessor shall be
under no obligation to agree to such request. Nevertheless, Lessor
shall use reasonable efforts to notify Lessee, within forty-five (45)
days of receipt of such information, as to whether Lessor will finance
the proposed Capital Addition or Material Structural Work and, if so,
the terms and conditions upon which it would do so, including the terms
of any amendment to this Lease (including, without limitation, an
increase in Base Rent based on Lessor's then existing terms and
prevailing conditions to compensate Lessor for the additional funds
advanced by it). Lessee may withdraw its request by notice to Lessor at
any time before such time as Lessee accepts Lessor's terms and
conditions. All advances of funds for any such financing shall be made
in accordance with Lessor's then standard construction loan
requirements and procedures, which may include, without limitation, the
requirements and procedures applicable to Work under Section 13.1.
9.3.2 LESSOR'S GENERAL REQUIREMENTS. If Lessor agrees to
finance the proposed Capital Addition or Material Structural Work and
Lessee accepts Lessor's proposal therefor, in addition to all other
items which Lessor or any applicable Financing Party may reasonably
require, Lessee shall provide to Lessor the following:

Material Structural Work in accordance with the Primary
Intended Use and (ii) evidence satisfactory to Lessor and any
applicable Financing Party that all Permits required for the
construction and use of the Capital Addition or the applicable
portion of the Facility have been obtained, are in full force

prior to commencement or completion of the construction;
provided, that Lessor and any applicable Financing Party are
furnished with reasonable evidence that the same will be
available in the normal course of business without unusual
condition;
(b) prior to any advance of funds, an Officer's
Certificate and, if requested, a certificate from Lessee's
architect, setting forth in reasonable detail the projected
(or actual, if available) Capital Addition Cost or the cost of

documents required by Lessor so as to vest title to the
Capital Addition or the applicable Material Structural Work in
Lessor free and clear of all Liens, and amendments to this
Lease and any recorded notice or memorandum thereof, duly
executed and acknowledged, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Lessor, providing for any changes required by
Lessor including, without limitation, changes in the Base Rent
and the legal description of the Land;

reasonably permitted by Lessor, (ii) if applicable, including
the Additional Land in the premises covered by such title
insurance policy and (iii) increasing the coverage thereof by
an amount equal to any amount paid by Lessor for the
Additional Land plus the Fair Market Value of the Capital
Addition or the Fair Market Value of the Material Structural
Work (except to the extent covered by the owner's policy of
title insurance referred to in subparagraph (g) below);
<PAGE> 56
(g) simultaneous with the initial advance of funds,
if appropriate, (i) an owner's policy of title insurance
insuring fee simple title to any Additional Land conveyed to
Lessor pursuant to subparagraph (d) free and clear of all

9.3.3 PAYMENT OF COSTS. By virtue of making a request to
finance a Capital Addition or any Material Structural Work, whether or
not such financing is actually consummated, Lessee shall be deemed to
have agreed to pay, upon demand, all costs and expenses reasonably
incurred by Lessor and any Person participating with Lessor in any way
in the financing of the Capital Addition or Material Structural Work,
including, but not limited to (a) fees and expenses of their respective
attorneys, (b) all photocopying expenses, if any, (c) the amount of any
filing, registration and recording taxes and fees, (d) documentary
stamp taxes and intangible taxes and (e) title insurance charges and
appraisal fees.
9.4 GENERAL LIMITATIONS. Without in any way limiting Lessor's options
with respect to proposed Capital Additions or Material Structural Work: (a) no
Capital Addition or Material Structural Work shall be completed that could, upon
completion, significantly alter the character or purpose or detract from the
value or operating efficiency of the Leased Property, or significantly impair
the revenue-producing capability of the Leased Property, or adversely affect the
ability of Lessee to comply with the terms of this Lease, (b) no Capital
Addition or Material Structural Work shall be completed which would tie in or
connect any Leased Improvements on the Leased Property with any
<PAGE> 57
other improvements on property adjacent to the Leased Property (and not part of
the Land covered by this Lease) including, without limitation, tie-ins of
buildings or other structures or utilities, unless Lessee shall have obtained
the prior written approval of Lessor, which approval may be withheld in Lessor's
sole and absolute discretion and (c) all proposed Capital Additions and Material
Structural Work shall be architecturally integrated and consistent with the
Leased Property.
9.5 NON-CAPITAL ADDITIONS. Lessee shall have the obligation and right
to make repairs, replacements and alterations which are not Capital Additions as
required by the other Sections of this Lease, but in so doing, Lessee shall
always comply with and satisfy the conditions of Section 9.4, mutatis, mutandis.
Lessee shall have the right, from time to time, to make additions, modifications
or improvements to the Leased Property which do not constitute Capital Additions
or Material Structural Work as it may deem to be desirable or necessary for its
uses and purposes, subject to the same limits and conditions imposed under
Section 9.4. The cost of any such repair, replacement, alteration, addition,
modification or improvement shall be paid by Lessee and the results thereof
shall be included under the terms of this Lease and become a part of the Leased
Property, without payment therefor by Lessor at any time. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, all such additions, modifications and improvements which affect the
structure of any of the Leased Improvements, or which involve the expenditure of
more than TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($25,000.00), shall be undertaken only
upon compliance with the provisions of Section 13.1, all Legal Requirements and
all other applicable requirements of this Lease; provided, however, that in the
event of a bona fide emergency during which Lessee is unable to contact the
appropriate representatives of Lessor, Lessee may commence such additions,
modifications and improvements as may be necessary in order to address such
emergency without Lessor's prior approval, as long as Lessee immediately
thereafter advises Lessor of such emergency and the nature and scope of the
additions, modifications and improvements performed and obtains Lessor's
approval of the remaining work to be completed.

Governmental Authority.
10.1.7 NO BURDENSOME AGREEMENTS. No member of the Leasing

10.1.13 FINANCIALS COMPLETE AND ACCURATE. The financial
statements of each member of the Leasing Group given to Lessor in
connection with the execution and delivery of the Lease Documents were
true, complete and accurate, in all material respects, and fairly
presented the financial condition of each such member of the Leasing
Group as of the date thereof and for the periods covered thereby,
having been prepared in accordance with GAAP and such financial
statements disclosed all liabilities, including, without limitation,
contingent liabilities, of each such member of the Leasing Group. There
has been no material adverse change since such date with respect to the
Tangible Net Worth of any member of the Leasing Group or with respect
to any other matters contained in such financial statements, nor have
any additional material liabilities, including, without limitation,
contingent liabilities, of any member of the Leasing Group arisen or
been incurred or asserted since such date. The projections heretofore
delivered to Lessor continue to be reasonable (with respect to the
material assumptions upon which such projections are based) and Lessee
reasonably anticipates the results projected therein will be achieved,
there having been (a) no material adverse change in the business,
assets or condition, financial or otherwise of any member of the
Leasing Group or the Leased Property and (b) no material depletion of
the cash or decrease in working capital of any member of the Leasing

its obligations under any of the Lease Documents or (y) a Lease Default
has occurred and is continuing and has not been expressly waived in

throughout the Term and such time as Lessee remains in possession of the Leased
Property:
11.5.1 RESTRICTIONS RELATING TO LESSEE. Except as may
otherwise be expressly provided in Section 19.4 or in any of the other
Lease Documents, Lessee shall not, without the prior written consent of
Lessor, in each instance, which consent may be withheld in the sole and
absolute discretion of Lessor:
(a) convey, assign, hypothecate, transfer, dispose of
or encumber, or permit the conveyance, assignment, transfer,
hypothecation, disposal or encumbrance of all or any part of

restriction shall not apply to (i) the Permitted Encumbrances
that may be created on or after the date hereof pursuant to the
Lease Documents; (ii) Liens created in accordance with Section
6.1.2 against Tangible Personal Property securing Indebtedness
permitted under Section 11.3.4(vi) relating to equipment

hypothecation, lease or other transfer of any material asset or
assets (whether now owned or hereafter acquired), the fair
market value of which equals or is less than THIRTY-FIVE
THOUSAND DOLLARS ($35,000), individually, or ONE HUNDRED FIFTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS ($150,000) collectively; (iv) without
limitation as to amount, the disposition in the ordinary course
of business of any obsolete, worn out or defective fixtures,
furnishings or equipment used in the operation of the Leased
Property provided that the same are replaced with fixtures,
furnishings or equipment of equal or greater utility or value
or Lessee provides Lessor with an explanation (reasonably
satisfactory to Lessor) as to why such fixtures, furnishings or
equipment is no longer required in connection with the
operation of the Leased Property; (v) without limitation as to
amount, any sale of inventory by Lessee in the ordinary course
of business; and (vi) subject to the terms of the Pledge

(b) permit the use of the Facility, from and after
the Conversion Date, for any purpose other than the Primary
Intended Use; or
(c) liquidate, dissolve or merge or consolidate with
any other Person.
11.5.2 NO LIENS. Lessee will not directly or indirectly create
or allow to remain and will promptly discharge at its expense any Lien,
title retention agreement or claim upon or against the Leased Property
(including Lessee's interest therein) or Lessee's interest in this
Lease or any of the other Lease Documents, or in respect of the Rent,
excluding (a) this Lease and any permitted
<PAGE> 77
Subleases, (b) the Permitted Encumbrances, (c) Liens which are
consented to in writing by Lessor, (d) Liens for those taxes of Lessor
which Lessee is not required to pay hereunder, (e) Liens of mechanics,

which are either not yet due and payable or which are in the process of
being contested in strict compliance with the terms and conditions of
Article 15, and (h) involuntary Liens caused by the actions or
omissions of Lessor.
11.5.3 LIMITS ON CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS. Lessee shall not enter
into any transaction with any Affiliate or any member of the Leasing
Group (or any Affiliate thereof), including, without limitation, the
purchase, sale or exchange of any property, the rendering of any
service to or with any Affiliate and the making of any loan or other
extension of credit, except in the ordinary course of, and pursuant to
the reasonable requirements of, Lessee's business and upon fair and
reasonable terms no less favorable to the Lessee than would be obtained
in a comparable arms'-length transaction with any Person that is not an
Affiliate.
11.5.4 NON-COMPETITION. Lessee acknowledges that upon and
after any termination of this Lease, any competition by any member of
the Leasing Group with any subsequent owner or subsequent lessee of the
Leased Property (the "Purchaser") would cause irreparable harm to
Lessor and any such Purchaser. To induce Lessor to enter into this
Lease, Lessee agrees that, from and after the date hereof and
thereafter until the fifth (5th) anniversary of the termination hereof,
no member of the Leasing Group nor any Person holding or controlling,
directly or indirectly, any interest in any member of the Leasing Group
(collectively, the "Limited Parties") shall be involved in any capacity
in or lend any of their names to or engage in any capacity in any adult
care residence or other similar senior housing facility (or any other
facility included within the definition of Primary Intended Use),
center, unit or program (or in any Person engaged in any such activity
or any related activity competitive therewith), whether such
competitive activity shall be as an officer, director, owner, employee,
agent, advisor, independent contractor, developer, lender, sponsor,
venture capitalist, administrator, manager, investor, partner, joint
venturer, consultant or other participant in any capacity whatsoever
with respect to an adult care residence or other similar senior housing
facility (or any other facility included within the definition of
Primary Intended Use), center, unit or program located within a ten
(10) mile radius of the Leased Property.
Lessee hereby acknowledges and agrees that none of the time
span, scope or area covered by the foregoing restrictive covenants is
or are unreasonable and that it is the specific intent of Lessee that
each and all of the restrictive covenants set forth hereinabove shall
be valid and enforceable as specifically set forth herein. Lessee
further agrees that these restrictions are special, unique,
extraordinary and reasonably necessary for the protection of Lessor and
any Purchaser and that the violation of any such covenant by any of the
Limited Parties would cause irreparable damage to Lessor and any
Purchaser for which a legal remedy alone would not be sufficient to
fully protect such parties.
<PAGE> 78
Therefore, in addition to and without limiting any other
remedies available at law or hereunder, in the event that any of the
Limited Parties breaches any of the restrictive covenants hereunder or
shall threaten breach of any of such covenants, then Lessor and any
Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain equitable remedies, including
specific performance and injunctive relief, to prevent or otherwise
restrain a breach of this Section 11.5.4 (without the necessity of
posting a bond) and to recover any and all costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses and court
costs) reasonably incurred in enforcing the provisions of this Section
11.5.4. The existence of any claim or cause of action of any of the
Limited Parties or any member of the Leasing Group against Lessor or
any Purchaser, whether predicated on this Lease or otherwise, shall not
constitute a defense to the enforcement by Lessor or any Purchaser of
the foregoing restrictive covenants and the Limited Parties shall not
defend on the basis that there is an adequate remedy at law.
Without limiting any other provision of this Lease, the
parties hereto acknowledge that the foregoing restrictive covenants are
severable and separate. If at any time any of the foregoing restrictive
covenants shall be deemed invalid or unenforceable by a court having
jurisdiction over this Lease, by reason of being vague or unreasonable
as to duration, or geographic scope or scope of activities restricted,
or for any other reason, such covenants shall be considered divisible
as to such portion and such covenants shall be immediately amended and
reformed to include only such covenants as are deemed reasonable and
enforceable by the court having jurisdiction over this Lease to the
full duration, geographic scope and scope of restrictive activities
deemed reasonable and thus enforceable by said court; and the parties
agree that such covenants as so amended and reformed, shall be valid
and binding as through the invalid or unenforceable portion has not
been included therein.
The provisions of this Section 11.5.4 shall survive the
termination of the Lease and any satisfaction of the Lease Obligations
in connection therewith or subsequent thereto. The parties hereto
acknowledge and agree that any Purchaser may enforce the provisions of
this Section 11.5.4 as a third party beneficiary.
11.5.5 NO DEFAULT. Lessee shall not commit any default or
breach under any of the Lease Documents.
11.5.6 RESTRICTIONS RELATING TO THE GUARANTOR AND THE
DEVELOPER. Except as may otherwise be expressly provided herein or in
any of the other Lease Documents, neither the Guarantor nor the
Developer shall, without the prior written consent of Lessor, in each
instance, which consent may be withheld in the sole and absolute
discretion of Lessor, convey, assign, donate, sell, mortgage or pledge
any real or personal property or take any other action which would have
a materially adverse effect upon the Tangible Net Worth or general
financial condition of the Guarantor or the Developer, as the case may
be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the provisions of
Section 11.3, the Guarantor may guaranty obligations of any of its
present or future Affiliates.
<PAGE> 79
11.5.7 [INTENTIONALLY DELETED].
11.5.8 ERISA. Lessee shall not establish or permit any
Sublessee to establish any new pension or defined benefit plan or
modify any such existing plan for employees subject to ERISA, which
plan provides any benefits based on past service without the advance
consent of Lessor to the amount of the aggregate past service liability
thereby created, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
11.5.9 FORGIVENESS OF INDEBTEDNESS. Lessee will not waive, or
permit any sublessee or Manager which is an Affiliate to waive any debt
or claim, except in the ordinary course of its business.
11.5.10 VALUE OF ASSETS. Except as disclosed in the financial
statements provided to Lessor as of the date hereof, Lessee will not
write up (by creating an appraisal surplus or otherwise) the value of
any assets of Lessee above their cost to Lessee, less the depreciation
regularly allowable thereon.
11.5.11 CHANGES IN FISCAL YEAR AND ACCOUNTING PROCEDURES.
Lessee shall not, without the prior written consent of Lessor, in each
instance, which consent may be withheld in Lessor's reasonable
discretion (a) change its fiscal year or capital structure (except as
may be otherwise permitted by Lessor in connection with any transfer
permitted under Section 19.4 and, even then, only after the complete
satisfaction of all requirements of Lessor relating to such transfers)
or (b) change, alter, amend or in any manner modify, except in
accordance with GAAP, any of its current accounting procedures related
to the method of revenue recognition, billing procedures or
determinations of doubtful accounts or bad debt expenses nor will
Lessee permit any of its Subsidiaries to change its fiscal year or
suffer or permit any circumstance to exist in which any Subsidiary is
not wholly-owned, directly or indirectly, by Lessee.
11.6 ACCESS TO RECORDS. To the extent required by applicable law, the
Lessor shall (and, if the Lessor carries out any of the duties under this Lease,
whether on the Lessor's or the Lessee's behalf, through a subcontract with a
related organization and such subcontract has a value or cost of Ten Thousand
Dollars ($10,000) or more during any twelve (12) month period, such subcontract
shall contain a clause to the effect that the subcontractor shall) until the
expiration of four (4) years after the furnishing of services pursuant to this
Lease, make available, upon request by the Secretary of Health and Human
Services or upon the request by the U.S. Comptroller General, or any duly
authorized representative of either of them, the books, documents and records of
the Lessor (or such subcontractor) that are necessary to verify the nature and
extent of such costs in connection with said services.

underwritten by insurance companies licensed to do insurance business
by, and in good standing under the laws of, the State and which
companies have and maintain a rating of A:X or better by A.M. Best Co.
<PAGE> 82
12.1.3 POLICY REQUIREMENTS. Every policy of insurance from time
to time required under this Lease or any of the other Lease Documents
(other than worker's compensation) shall name Lessor as owner, loss
payee, secured party (to the extent applicable) and additional named
insured as its interests may appear. If an insurance policy covers
properties other than the Leased Property, then Lessor shall be so
named with respect only to the Leased Property. Each such policy, where
applicable or appropriate, shall:
(a) include an agreed amount endorsement and loss
payee, additional named insured and secured party endorsements,
in forms acceptable to Lessor in its sole and absolute
discretion;
(b) include mortgagee, secured party, loss payable
and additional named insured endorsements reasonably acceptable
to each Fee Mortgagee;
(c) provide that the coverages may not be cancelled
or materially modified except upon thirty (30) days' prior
written notice to Lessor and any Fee Mortgagee;
(d) be payable to Lessor and any Fee Mortgagee
notwithstanding any defense or claim that the insurer may have
to the payment of the same against any other Person holding any
other interest in the Leased Property;
(e) be endorsed with standard noncontributory clauses

12.1.4 NOTICES; CERTIFICATES AND POLICIES. Lessee shall
promptly provide to Lessor copies of any and all notices (including
notice of non-renewal but excluding invoices for premiums due but not
delinquent), claims and demands which Lessee receives from insurers of
the Leased Property. At least ten (10) days prior to the expiration of
any insurance policy required hereunder, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor
certificates and evidence of insurance relating to all renewals and
replacements thereof, together with evidence, satisfactory to Lessor,
of payment of the premiums thereon. Lessee shall deliver to Lessor
original counterparts or copies certified by the insurance company to
be true and complete copies, of all insurance policies required
hereunder not later than the earlier to occur of (a) thirty (30) days
after the effective date of each such policy and (b) ten (10) days
after receipt thereof by Lessee.
12.1.5 LESSOR'S RIGHT TO PLACE INSURANCE. If Lessee shall fail
to obtain any insurance policy required hereunder by Lessor, or shall
fail to deliver the
<PAGE> 83
certificate and evidence of insurance relating to any such policy to
Lessor, or if any insurance policy required hereunder (or any part
thereof) shall expire or be cancelled or become void or voidable by
reason of any breach of any condition thereof, or if Lessor determines
that such insurance coverage is unsatisfactory by reason of the failure
or impairment of the capital of any insurance company which wrote any
such policy, upon demand by Lessor, Lessee shall promptly obtain new or
additional insurance coverage on the Leased Property, or for those
risks required to be insured by the provisions hereof, satisfactory to
Lessor, and, at its option, Lessor may obtain such insurance and pay
the premium or premiums therefor; in which event, any amount so paid or
advanced by Lessor and all costs and expenses incurred in connection
therewith (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses
and court costs), shall be a demand obligation of Lessee to Lessor,
payable as an Additional Charge.
12.1.6 PAYMENT OF PROCEEDS. All insurance policies required
hereunder (except for general public liability, professional liability
and workers' compensation and employers liability insurance) shall
provide that in the event of loss, injury or damage, subject to the
rights of any Fee Mortgagee, all proceeds shall be paid to Lessor alone
(rather than jointly to Lessee and Lessor). Lessor is hereby authorized
to adjust and compromise any such loss with the consent of Lessee or,
following any Lease Default, whether or not cured, without the consent
of Lessee, and to collect and receive such proceeds in the name of
Lessor and Lessee, and Lessee appoints Lessor (or any agent designated
by Lessor) as Lessee's attorney-in-fact with full power of
substitution, to endorse Lessee's name upon any check in payment
thereof. Subject to the provisions of Article 13, such insurance
proceeds shall be applied first toward reimbursement of all costs and
expenses reasonably incurred by Lessor in collecting said insurance
proceeds, then toward payment of the Lease Obligations or any portion
thereof, then due and payable, in such order as Lessor determines, and
then in whole or in part toward restoration, repair or reconstruction
of the Leased Property for which such insurance proceeds shall have
been paid.
12.1.7 IRREVOCABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY. The power of attorney
conferred on Lessor pursuant to the provisions of this Section 12.1,
being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable for as long as
this Lease is in effect or any Lease Obligations are outstanding, shall
not be affected by any disability or incapacity which Lessee may suffer
and shall survive the same. Such power of attorney, is provided solely
to protect the interests of Lessor and shall not impose any duty on
Lessor to exercise any such power, and neither Lessor nor such
attorney-in-fact shall be liable for any act, omission, error in
judgment or mistake of law, except as the same may result from its
gross negligence or wilful misconduct.
12.1.8 BLANKET POLICIES. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, 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 and its Affiliates; provided, however, that the coverage
afforded to Lessor shall not be reduced or diminished or
<PAGE> 84
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 Section 12.1 are otherwise satisfied.
12.1.9 NO SEPARATE INSURANCE. Lessee shall not, on Lessee's own
initiative or pursuant to the request or requirement of any other
Person, take out separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing
in the event of loss with the insurance required hereunder to be
furnished by Lessee, or increase the amounts of any then existing
insurance by securing an additional policy or additional policies,
unless (a) all parties having an insurable interest in the subject
matter of the insurance, including Lessor, are included therein as
additional insureds and (b) losses are 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 by securing an additional insurance policy or
policies.
12.1.10 ASSIGNMENT OF UNEARNED PREMIUMS. Lessee hereby assigns
to Lessor all rights of Lessee in and to any unearned premiums on any
insurance policy required hereunder to be furnished by Lessee which may
become payable or are refundable after the occurrence of an Event of
Default hereunder, which amounts may be utilized by Lessor for any
purposes allowed hereunder or credited against the Lease Obligations.
In the event that this Lease is terminated for any reason (other than
the purchase of the Leased Property by Lessee), the insurance policies
required to be maintained hereunder, including all right, title and
interest of Lessee thereunder, shall become the absolute property of
Lessor.

responsible therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor shall not
be released from liability for any injury, loss, damage or liability

event be answerable or accountable therefor (except for the obligation
to account for insurance proceeds and Awards to the extent provided for
in Articles 13 and 14) nor shall any of the events mentioned in this
Section entitle Lessee to any abatement of Rent (except for an

non-structural damage to the Leased Property in excess of TWENTY-FIVE
THOUSAND DOLLARS ($25,000) or in any structural damage to the Leased
Property, regardless of the extent of such structural damage, prior to
commencing the Work, Lessee shall comply with the following
requirements:

specifications for the Work (collectively, the "Plans and
Specifications"), for Lessor's approval, in each instance,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Plans

architect, licensed to do business in the State, reasonably
satisfactory to Lessor and shall be accompanied by a written
estimate from the architect, bearing the architect's seal, of
the entire cost of completing the Work, and to the extent
feasible, the Plans and Specifications shall provide for Work

held by Lessor and which Lessor shall be required to apply
toward restoration of the Leased Property as provided in
Section 13.2;
(d) Lessee shall furnish to Lessor such insurance
with respect to the Work (in addition to the insurance required

(i) the Plans and Specifications referred to in clause (a)
immediately above, (ii) the Permits and Contracts referred to
in clause (b) immediately above and (iii) all applicable Legal

however, that in the event of a bona fide emergency during
which Lessee is unable to contact the appropriate
representatives of Lessor, Lessee may commence such Work as may
be necessary in order to address such emergency without
Lessor's prior approval, as long as Lessee immediately
thereafter advises Lessor of such emergency and the nature and
scope of the Work performed and obtains Lessor's approval of
the remaining Work to be completed.
13.1.3 DISBURSEMENT OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS. If, as provided in
Section 13.2, Lessor is required to apply any property insurance
proceeds toward repair or restoration of the Leased Property, then as
long as the Work is being diligently performed by Lessee in accordance
with the terms and conditions of this Lease, Lessor shall disburse such
insurance proceeds from time to time during the course of the Work in
accordance with and subject to satisfaction of the following provisions
and conditions. Lessor shall not be required to make disbursements more
often than at thirty (30) day intervals. Lessee shall submit a written
request for each disbursement at least ten (10) Business Days in
advance and shall comply with the following requirements in connection
with each disbursement:
(a) Prior to the commencement of any Work, Lessee
shall have received Lessor's written approval of the Plans and
Specifications (which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld) and the Work shall be supervised by an experienced
construction manager with the consultation of an architect or
engineer qualified and licensed to do business in the State.
(b) Each request for payment shall be accompanied by
(x) a certificate of the architect or engineer, bearing the
architect's or engineer's seal, and (y) a certificate of the
general contractor, qualified and licensed to do business in
the State, that is performing the Work (collectively, the
<PAGE> 89
"Work Certificates"), each dated not more than ten (10) days
prior to the application for withdrawal of funds, and each
stating:
(i) that all of the Work performed as of the
date of the certificates has been completed
in compliance with the approved Plans and
Specifications, applicable Contracts and all
applicable Legal Requirements;
(ii) that the sum then requested to be withdrawn
has been paid by Lessee or is justly due to
contractors, subcontractors, materialmen,
engineers, architects or other Persons,
whose names and addresses shall be stated

certain services or materials for the Work,
and the certificate shall also include a
brief description of such services and
materials and the principal subdivisions or
categories thereof and the respective
amounts so paid or due to each of said
Persons in respect thereof and stating the
progress of the Work up to the date of said
certificate;
(iii) that the sum then requested to be withdrawn,
plus all sums previously withdrawn, does not
exceed the cost of the Work insofar as
actually accomplished up to the date of such
certificate;
(iv) that the remainder of the funds held by
Lessor will be sufficient to pay for the
full completion of the Work in accordance
with the Plans and Specifications;
(v) that no part of the cost of the services and
materials described in the applicable Work
Certificate has been or is being made the
basis of the withdrawal of any funds in any
previous or then pending application; and
(vi) that, except for the amounts, if any,
specified in the applicable Work Certificate
to be due for services and materials, there
is no outstanding indebtedness known, after
due inquiry, which is then due and payable
for work, labor, services or materials in
connection with the Work which, if unpaid,
might become the basis of a vendor's,
mechanic's, laborer's or materialman's
statutory or other similar Lien upon the
Leased Property.
(c) Lessee shall deliver to Lessor satisfactory
evidence that the Leased Property and all materials and all
property described in the Work Certificates are free and clear
of Liens, except (i) Liens, if any, securing indebtedness due
to Persons (whose names and addresses and the several amounts
due them shall be stated therein) specified in an applicable
Work
<PAGE> 90
Certificate, which Liens shall be discharged upon disbursement
of the funds then being requested, (ii) any Fee Mortgage and
(iii) the Permitted Encumbrances. Lessor shall accept as
satisfactory evidence of the foregoing lien waivers in
customary form from the general contractor and all
subcontractors performing the Work, together with an
endorsement of its title insurance policy (relating to the
Leased Property) in form acceptable to Lessor, dated as of the
date of the making of the then current disbursement,
confirming the foregoing.
(d) If the Work involves alteration or restoration of
the exterior of any Leased Improvement that changes the
footprint of any Leased Improvement, Lessee shall deliver to
Lessor, upon the request of Lessor, an "as-built" survey of the
Leased Property dated as of a date within ten (10) days prior
to the making of the first and final advances (or revised to a
date within ten (10) days prior to each such advance) showing
no encroachments other than such encroachments, if any, by the
Leased Improvements upon or over the Permitted Encumbrances as
are in existence as of the date hereof.
(e) Lessee shall deliver to Lessor (i) an opinion of
counsel (satisfactory to Lessor both as to counsel and as to
the form of opinion) prior to the first advance opining that
all necessary Permits for the repair, replacement and/or
restoration of the Leased Property have been obtained and that
the Leased Property, if repaired, replaced or rebuilt in
accordance, in all material respects, with the approved Plans
and Specifications and such Permits, shall comply with all
applicable Legal Requirements and (ii) an architect's
certificate (satisfactory to Lessor both as to the architect
and as to the form of the certificate) prior to the final
advance, certifying that the Leased Property was repaired,
replaced or rebuilt in accordance, in all material respects,
with the approved Plans and Specifications and complies with
all applicable Legal Requirements, including, without
limitation, all Permits referenced in the foregoing clause (i).
(f) There shall be no Lease Default or any state of
facts or circumstance existing which, with the giving of notice
and/or the passage of time, would constitute any Lease Default.
Lessor, at its option, may waive any of the foregoing requirements in
whole or in part in any instance. Upon compliance by Lessee with the
foregoing requirements (except for such requirements, if any, as Lessor
may have expressly elected to waive), and to the extent of (x) the
insurance proceeds, if any, which Lessor may be required to apply to
restoration of the Leased Property pursuant to the provisions of this
Lease and (y) all other cash deposits made by Lessee, Lessor shall make
available for payment to the Persons named in the Work Certificate the
respective amounts stated in said certificate(s) to be due, subject to
a retention of ten percent (10%) as to all hard costs of the Work (the
"Retainage"). It is understood that the Retainage is intended to
provide a contingency fund to assure Lessor that the Work
<PAGE> 91
shall be fully completed in accordance with the Plans and
Specifications and the requirements of Lessor. Upon the full and final
completion of all of the Work in accordance with the provisions hereof,
the Retainage shall be made available for payment to those Persons
entitled thereto.
Upon completion of the Work, and as a condition precedent to making any
further advance, in addition to the requirements set forth above,
Lessee shall promptly deliver to Lessor:
(i) written certificates of the architect or engineer,
bearing the architect's or engineer's seal, and the
general contractor, certifying that the Work has been
fully completed in a good and workmanlike manner in
material compliance with the Plans and Specifications
and all Legal Requirements;
(ii) an endorsement of its title insurance policy
(relating to the Leased Property) in form reasonably
acceptable to Lessor insuring the Leased Property
against all mechanic's and materialman's liens
accompanied by the final lien waivers from the
general contractor and all subcontractors;
(iii) a certificate by Lessee in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, listing all costs
and expenses in connection with the completion of the
Work and the amount paid by Lessee with respect to
the Work; and
(iv) a temporary certificate of occupancy (if obtainable)
and all other applicable Permits and Contracts (that
have not previously been delivered to Lessor) issued
by or entered into with any Governmental Authority
with respect to the Leased Property and the Primary
Intended Use and by the appropriate Board of Fire
Underwriters or other similar bodies acting in and
for the locality in which the Leased Property is
situated; provided, that within thirty (30) days
after completion of the Work, Lessee shall obtain
and deliver to Lessor a permanent certificate of
occupancy for the Leased Property.
Upon completion of the Work and delivery of the documents
required pursuant to the provisions of this Section 13.1, Lessor shall
pay the Retainage to Lessee or to those Persons entitled thereto and if
there shall be insurance proceeds or cash deposits, other than the
Retainage, held by Lessor in excess of the amounts disbursed pursuant
to the foregoing provisions, then provided that no Lease Default has
occurred and is continuing, nor any state of facts or circumstances
which, with the giving of notice and/or the passage of time would
constitute a Lease Default, Lessor shall pay over such proceeds or cash
deposits to Lessee.
No inspections or any approvals of the Work during or after
construction shall constitute a warranty or representation by Lessor,
or any of its agents or
<PAGE> 92
Consultants, as to the technical sufficiency, adequacy or safety of any
structure or any of its component parts, including, without limitation,
any fixtures, equipment or furnishings, or as to the subsoil conditions
or any other physical condition or feature pertaining to the Leased
Property. All acts described in this paragraph, including any failure
to act, relating to Lessor are performed solely for the benefit of
Lessor to assure the payment and performance of the Lease Obligations
and are not for the benefit of Lessee or the benefit of any other
Person.
13.2 DISPOSITION OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS.
13.2.1 PROCEEDS TO BE RELEASED TO PAY FOR WORK. In the event
of any Casualty, except as provided for in Section 13.2.2, Lessor shall
release proceeds of property insurance held by it to pay for the Work
in accordance with the provisions and procedures set forth in this
Article 13, only if:
(a) all of the terms, conditions and provisions of
Sections 13.1 and 13.2.1 are satisfied;
(b) there does not then exist any Lease Default or
any state of facts or circumstance which, with the giving of
notice and/or the passage of time, would constitute such a
Lease Default;
(c) Lessee demonstrates to Lessor's satisfaction that
Lessee has the financial ability to satisfy the Lease
Obligations during such repair or restoration; and
(d) no Sublease (excluding Residence Agreements)
material to the operation of the Facility immediately prior to
such damage or taking shall have been cancelled or terminated,
nor contain any still exercisable right to cancel or
terminate, due to such Casualty if and to the extent that the
income from such Sublease is necessary in order to avoid the
violation of any of the financial covenants set forth in this
Lease or otherwise to avoid the creation of an Event of
Default.
13.2.2 PROCEEDS NOT TO BE RELEASED. If, as the result of any
Casualty, the Leased Property is damaged to the extent it is rendered
Unsuitable For Its Primary Intended Use and if either: (a) Lessee,
after exercise of diligent efforts, cannot within a reasonable time
(not in excess of ninety (90) days) obtain all necessary Permits in
order to be able to perform all required Work and to again operate the
Facility for its Primary Intended Use within three hundred and
sixty-five (365) days from the occurrence of the damage or destruction
in substantially the manner as immediately prior to such damage or
destruction or (b) such Casualty occurs during the last twenty-four
(24) months of the Term and would reasonably require more than nine (9)
months to obtain all Permits and complete the Work, then Lessee may
either (i) acquire the Leased Property from Lessor for a purchase price
equal to the greater of (x) the Meditrust Investment or (y) the Fair
Market Value of the Leased Property minus the Fair Market Added Value,
with the Fair Market Value and the Fair Market Added Value to be
determined as of
<PAGE> 93
the day immediately prior to such Casualty and prior to any other
Casualty which has not been fully repaired, restored or replaced, in
which event, Lessee shall be entitled upon payment of the full purchase
price to receive all property insurance proceeds (less any costs and
expenses incurred by Lessor in collecting the same), or (ii) terminate
this Lease, in which event (subject to the provisions of the last
sentence of this Section 13.2.2) Lessor shall be entitled to receive
and retain the insurance proceeds; provided, however, that Lessee shall
only have such right of termination effective upon payment to Lessor of
all Rent and other sums due under this Lease and the other Lease
Documents through the date of termination plus an amount, which when
added to the sum of (1) the Fair Market Value of the Leased Property as
affected by all unrepaired or unrestored damage due to any Casualty
(and giving due regard for delays, costs and expenses incident to
completing all repair or restoration required to fully repair or
restore the same) plus (2) the amount of insurance proceeds actually
received by Lessor (net of costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in
collecting the same) equals (3) the greater of the Meditrust Investment
or the Fair Market Value of the Leased Property minus the Fair Market
Added Value, with the Fair Market Value and the Fair Market Added Value
to be determined as of the day immediately prior to such Casualty and
prior to any other Casualty which has not been fully repaired. Any
acquisition of the Leased Property pursuant to the terms of this
Section 13.2.2 shall be consummated in accordance with the provisions
of Article 18, mutatis, mutandis. If such termination becomes
effective, Lessor shall assign to Lessee any outstanding insurance
claims.
13.2.3 LESSEE RESPONSIBLE FOR SHORT-FALL. If the cost of the
Work exceeds the amount of proceeds received by Lessor from the
property insurance required under Article 12 (net of costs and expenses
incurred by Lessor in collecting the same), Lessee shall be obligated
to contribute any excess amount needed to repair or restore the Leased
Property and pay for the Work. Such amount shall be paid by Lessee to
Lessor together with any other property insurance proceeds for
application to the cost of the Work.
13.3 TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY. All insurance proceeds payable by
reason of any loss of or damage to any of the Tangible Personal Property shall
be paid to Lessor as secured party, subject to the rights of the holders of any
Permitted Prior Security Interests, and, thereafter, provided that no Lease
Default, nor any fact or circumstance which with the giving of notice and/or the
passage of time could constitute a Lease Default, has occurred and is
continuing, Lessor shall pay such insurance proceeds to Lessee to reimburse
Lessee for the cost of repairing or replacing the damaged Tangible Personal
Property, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the other provisions
of this Article 13, mutatis mutandis.
13.4 RESTORATION OF CERTAIN IMPROVEMENTS AND THE TANGIBLE PERSONAL
PROPERTY. If Lessee is required or elects to restore the Facility, Lessee shall
either (a) restore (i) all alterations and improvements to the Leased Property
made by Lessee and (ii) the Tangible Personal Property or (b) replace such
alterations and improvements and the Tangible
<PAGE> 94
Personal Property with improvements or items of the same or better quality and
utility in the operation of the Leased Property.
13.5 NO ABATEMENT OF RENT. In no event shall any Rent abate as a result
of any Casualty.
13.6 TERMINATION OF CERTAIN RIGHTS. Any termination of this Lease
pursuant to this Article 13 shall cause any right of Lessee to extend the Term
of this Lease, granted to Lessee herein and any right of Lessee to purchase the
Leased Property contained in this Lease to be terminated and to be without
further force or effect.
13.7 WAIVER. Lessee hereby waives any statutory rights of termination
which may arise by reason of any damage or destruction to the Leased Property
due to any Casualty which Lessee is obligated to restore or may restore under
any of the provisions of this Lease.
13.8 APPLICATION OF RENT LOSS AND/OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION INSURANCE.
All proceeds of rent loss and/or business interruption insurance (collectively,
"Rent Insurance Proceeds") shall be paid to Lessor and dealt with as follows:
(a) if the Work has been promptly and diligently commenced by
Lessee and is in the process of being completed in accordance with this
Lease and no fact or condition exists which constitutes, or which with
the giving of notice and/or the passage of time would constitute, a
Lease Default, Lessor shall each month pay to Lessee out of the Rent
Insurance Proceeds a sum equal to that amount, if any, of the Rent
Insurance Proceeds paid by the insurer which is allocable to the rental
loss and/or business interruption for the preceding month minus an
amount equal to the sum of the Rent due hereunder for such month plus
any Impositions relating to the Leased Property then due and payable;
(b) if the Work has not been promptly and diligently commenced
by Lessee or is not in the process of being completed in accordance
with this Lease, the Rent Insurance Proceeds shall be applied to any
Rent then due, and, to the extent sufficient therefor, an amount equal
to Base Rent, Impositions and insurance premiums payable for the next
twelve (12) months, as reasonably projected by Lessor, shall be held by
Lessor as security for the Lease Obligations and applied to the payment
of Rent as it becomes due; and
(c) if such Rent Insurance Proceeds received by Lessor (net of
costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in collecting the same) exceed
the amounts required under clauses (a) and (b) above, the excess shall
be paid to Lessee, provided no fact or circumstance exists which
constitutes, or with notice, or passage of time, or both, would
constitute, a Lease Default.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor may at its option use or release the Rent
Insurance Proceeds to pay for the Work and, if a Lease Default exists, Lessor
may apply all such
<PAGE> 95
insurance proceeds towards the Lease Obligations or hold such proceeds as
security therefor.
13.9 OBLIGATION TO ACCOUNT. Upon Lessee's written request, which may
not be made not more than once in any three (3) month period, Lessor shall
provide Lessee with a written accounting of the application of all insurance
proceeds received by Lessor.
ARTICLE 14
CONDEMNATION
14.1 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,
the rights and obligations of the parties shall be determined by this Article
14.
14.2 TOTAL TAKING. If there is a permanent Taking of all or
substantially all of the Leased Property, this Lease shall terminate on the Date
of Taking.
14.3 PARTIAL OR TEMPORARY TAKING. If there is a Permanent Taking of a
portion of the Leased Property, or if there is a temporary Taking of all or a
portion of the Leased Property, this Lease shall remain in effect so long as the
Leased Property is not thereby rendered permanently Unsuitable For Its Primary
Intended Use or, from and after the Conversion Date, temporarily Unsuitable For
Its Primary Intended Use for a period not likely to, or which does not, exceed
three hundred and sixty-five (365) days. If, however, the Leased Property is
thereby so rendered permanently or temporarily Unsuitable For Its Primary
Intended Use: (a) Lessee shall have the right to restore the Leased Property, at
its own expense, (subject to the right under certain circumstances as provided
for in Section 14.5 to receive the net proceeds of an Award for reimbursement)
to the extent possible, to substantially the same condition as existed
immediately before the partial or temporary Taking or (b) Lessee shall have the
right to acquire the Leased Property from Lessor (i) upon payment of all Rent
due through the date that the purchase price is paid, for a purchase price equal
to the greater of (x) the Meditrust Investment or (y) the Fair Market Value of
the Leased Property minus the Fair Market Added Value, with the Fair Market
Value of the Leased Property and the Fair Market Added Value to be determined as
of the day immediately prior to such partial or temporary Taking and (ii) in
accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Article 18; in which
event, this Lease shall terminate upon payment of such purchase price and the
consummation of such acquisition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor may
overrule Lessee's election under clause (a) or (b) and instead either (1)
terminate this Lease as of the date when Lessee is required to surrender
possession of the portion of the Leased Property so taken or (2) compel Lessee
to keep the Lease in full force and effect and to restore the Leased Property as
provided in clause (a) above, but only if the Leased Property may be operated
for at least eighty percent (80%) of the licensed bed capacity of the Facility
if operated in accordance with its Primary Intended Use. Lessee shall exercise
its election under this Section 14.3 by giving Lessor notice thereof ("Lessee's
Election Notice") within sixty (60) days after Lessee receives notice of the
Taking. Lessor shall exercise its option to overrule
<PAGE> 96
Lessee's election under this Section 14.3 by giving Lessee notice of Lessor's
exercise of its rights under Section 14.3 within thirty (30) days after Lessor
receives Lessee's Election Notice. If, as the result of any such partial or
temporary Taking, this Lease is not terminated as provided above, Lessee shall
be entitled to an abatement of Rent, but only to the extent, if any, provided
for in Section 3.7, effective as of the date upon which the Leased Property is
rendered Unsuitable For Its Primary Intended Use.
14.4 RESTORATION. If there is a partial or temporary Taking of the
Leased Property and this Lease remains in full force and effect pursuant to
Section 14.3, Lessee shall accomplish all necessary restoration and Lessor shall
release the net proceeds of such Award to reimburse Lessee for the actual
reasonable costs and expenses thereof, subject to all of the conditions and
provisions set forth in Article 13 as though the Taking was a Casualty and the
Award was insurance proceeds. If the cost of the restoration exceeds the amount
of the Award (net of costs and expenses incurred in obtaining the Award), Lessee
shall be obligated to contribute any excess amount needed to restore the
Facility or pay for such costs and expenses. To the extent that the cost of
restoration is less than the amount of the Award (net of cost and expenses
incurred in obtaining the Award), the remainder of the Award shall be retained
by Lessor and Rent shall be abated as set forth in Section 3.7.
14.5 AWARD DISTRIBUTION. In the event Lessee completes the purchase of
the Leased Property, as described in Section 14.3, the entire Award shall, upon
payment of the purchase price and all Rent and other sums due under this Lease
and the other Lease Documents, belong to Lessee and Lessor agrees to assign to
Lessee all of Lessor's rights thereto. In any other event, the entire Award
shall belong to and be paid to Lessor.
14.6 CONTROL OF PROCEEDINGS. Subject to the rights of any Fee
Mortgagee, unless and until Lessee completes the purchase of the Leased Property
as provided in Section 14.3, all proceedings involving any Taking and the
prosecution of claims arising out of any Taking against the Condemnor shall be
conducted, prosecuted and settled by Lessor; provided, however, that Lessor
shall keep Lessee apprised of the progress of all such proceedings and shall
solicit Lessee's advice with respect thereto and shall give due consideration to
any such advice. In addition, Lessee shall reimburse Lessor (as an Additional
Charge) for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
appraisal fees, fees of expert witnesses and costs of litigation or dispute
resolution, in relation to any Taking, whether or not this Lease is terminated;
provided, however, if this Lease is terminated as a result of a Taking, Lessee's
obligation to so reimburse Lessor shall be diminished by the amount of the
Award, if any, received by Lessor which is in excess of the Meditrust
Investment.

PERMITTED CONTESTS
15.1 LESSEE'S RIGHT TO CONTEST. To the extent of the express references
made to this Article 15 in other Sections of this Lease, Lessee, any Sublessee
or any Manager on their own or on Lessor's behalf (or in Lessor's name), but at
their sole cost and expense, may contest, by appropriate legal proceedings
conducted in good faith and with due diligence (until the resolution thereof),
the amount, validity or application, in whole or in part, of any Imposition,
Legal Requirement, the decision of any Governmental Authority related to the
operation of the Leased Property for its Primary Intended Use or any Lien or
claim relating to the Leased Property not otherwise permitted by this Agreement;
provided, that (a) prior written notice of such contest is given to Lessor, (b)
in the case of an unpaid Imposition, Lien or claim, the commencement and
continuation of such proceedings shall suspend the collection thereof from
Lessor and/or compliance by any applicable member of the Leasing Group with the
contested Legal Requirement or other matter may be legally delayed pending the
prosecution of any such proceeding without the occurrence or creation of any
Lien, charge or liability of any kind against the Leased Property, (c) neither
the Leased Property nor any rent therefrom would be in any immediate danger of
being sold, forfeited, attached or lost as a result of such proceeding, (d) in
the case of a Legal Requirement, neither Lessor nor any member of the Leasing

failure to comply therewith pending the outcome of such proceedings, (e) in the
event that any such contest shall involve a sum of money or potential loss in
excess of TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS ($10,000), Lessee shall deliver to Lessor an
Officer's Certificate and opinion of counsel, if Lessor deems the delivery of an
opinion to be appropriate, certifying or opining, as the case may be, as to the
validity of the statements set forth to the effect set forth in clauses (b), (c)
and (d), to the extent applicable, (f) Lessee shall give such cash security (or
letter of credit) as may be demanded in good faith by Lessor to insure ultimate
payment of any fine, penalty, interest or cost and to prevent any sale or
forfeiture of the affected portion of the Leased Property by reason of such
non-payment or non-compliance, (g) if such contest is finally resolved against
Lessor or any member of the Leasing Group, Lessee shall promptly pay, as
Additional Charges due hereunder, the amount required to be paid, together with
all interest and penalties accrued thereon and/or comply (and cause any
Sublessee and any Manager to comply) with the applicable Legal Requirement, and
(h) no state of facts or circumstance exists which constitutes, or with the
passage of time and/or the giving of notice, could constitute a Lease Default;
provided, however, the provisions of this Article 15 shall not be construed to
permit Lessee to contest the payment of Rent or any other sums payable by Lessee
to Lessor under any of the Lease Documents.
15.2 LESSOR'S COOPERATION. Lessor, at Lessee's sole cost and expense,
shall execute and deliver to Lessee such authorizations and other documents as
may reasonably be required in any such contest, so long as the same does not
expose Lessor to any civil or criminal liability, and, if reasonably requested
by Lessee or if Lessor so desires, Lessor shall join as a party therein.
<PAGE> 98
15.3 LESSEE'S INDEMNITY. Lessee, as more particularly provided for in
Section 12.2, shall indemnify, defend (with counsel acceptable to Lessor) and
save Lessor harmless against any liability, cost or expense of any kind,
including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses that may be imposed
upon Lessor in connection with any such contest and any loss resulting therefrom
and in the enforcement of this indemnification.

(i) in the event that, without the prior written consent of
Lessor, in each instance, which consent may be withheld by Lessor in
its sole and absolute discretion:

consecutive days without an insurance company satisfactory to Lessor
(in its sole and absolute discretion) having agreed to fund such award
or judgment in a manner satisfactory to Lessor (in its sole and
absolute discretion) and in either case such award or judgment shall,

the ability of any member of the Leasing Group to operate the Facility;
(r) if, from and after the Conversion Date, any Provider
Agreement material to the operation or financial condition of any
member of the Leasing Group shall be terminated prior to the expiration
of the term thereof or, without the prior written consent of Lessor, in
each instance, which consent may be withheld in Lessor's reasonable
discretion, shall not be renewed or extended upon the expiration of the
stated term thereof;
(s) if, after Lessee or any Sublessee has obtained approval for

Medicaid regulations in the operation of the Facility, as a result of
which failure Lessee or such Sublessee is declared ineligible to
continue its participation in the Medicare and/or Medicaid programs;

(x) any failure to deliver the Cash Collateral to Lessor when

16.2 REMEDIES.
(a) If any Lease Default shall have occurred, Lessor may at its option
terminate this Lease by giving Lessee not less than ten (10) days' notice of
such termination, or exercise any one or more of its rights and remedies under
this Lease or any of the other Lease Documents, or as available at law or in
equity and upon the expiration of the time fixed in such notice, the Term shall
terminate (but only if Lessor shall have specifically elected by a written
notice to so terminate the Lease) and all rights of Lessee under this Lease
shall cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of Lessee's failure to
pay Rent, if such Rent remains unpaid beyond ten (10) days from the due date
thereof, Lessor shall not be obligated to give ten (10) days notice of such
termination or exercise of any of its other rights and remedies under this
Lease, or the other Lease Documents, or otherwise available at law or in equity,
and Lessor shall be at liberty to pursue any one or more of such rights or
remedies without further notice. No taking of possession of the Leased Property
by or on behalf of Lessor, and no other act done by or on behalf of Lessor,
shall constitute an acceptance of surrender of the Leased Property by Lessee or
reduce Lessee's obligations under this Lease or the other Lease Documents,
unless otherwise expressly agreed to in a written document signed by an
authorized officer or agent of Lessor.
(b) To the extent permitted under applicable law, Lessee shall pay as
Additional Charges all costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
attorneys' fee and expenses) reasonably incurred by or on behalf of Lessor as a
result of any Lease Default.
<PAGE> 103
(c) If any Lease Default shall have occurred, whether or not this Lease
has been terminated pursuant to Paragraph (a) of this Section, Lessee shall, to
the extent permitted under applicable law, if required by Lessor so to do, upon
not less than ten (10) days' prior notice from Lessor, immediately surrender to
Lessor the Leased Property pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph (a) of this
Section and quit the same, and Lessor may enter upon and repossess the Leased
Property by reasonable force, summary unlawful detainer proceedings, ejectment
or otherwise, and may remove Lessee and all other Persons and any and all of the
Tangible Personal Property from the Leased Property, subject to the rights of
any residents or patients of the Facility and any Sublessees who are not
Affiliates of any member of the Leasing Group and to any requirements of
applicable law, or Lessor may claim ownership of the Tangible Personal Property
as set forth in Section 5.2.3 hereof or Lessor may exercise its rights as
secured party under the Security Agreement. Lessor shall use reasonable, good
faith efforts to relet the Leased Property or otherwise mitigate damages
suffered by Lessor as a result of Lessee's breach of this Lease.
(d) In addition to all of the rights and remedies of Lessor set forth
in this Lease and the other Lease Documents, if Lessee shall fail to pay any
rental or other charge due hereunder (whether denominated as Base Rent,
Additional Charges or otherwise) within ten (10) days after same shall have
become due and payable, then and in such event Lessee shall also pay to Lessor
(i) a late payment service charge (in order to partially defray Lessor's
administrative and other overhead expenses) equal to two hundred-fifty ($250)
dollars and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, interest on such
unpaid sum at the Overdue Rate; it being understood, however, that nothing
herein shall be deemed to extend the due date for payment of any sums required
to be paid by Lessee hereunder or to relieve Lessee of its obligation to pay
such sums at the time or times required by this Lease.
16.3 DAMAGES. None of (a) the termination of this Lease pursuant to
Section 16.2, (b) the eviction of Lessee or the repossession of the Leased
Property, (c) the failure or inability of Lessor, notwithstanding reasonable
good faith efforts, to relet the Leased Property, (d) the reletting of the
Leased Property or (e) the failure of Lessor to collect or receive any rentals
due upon any such reletting, shall relieve Lessee of its liability and
obligations hereunder, all of which shall survive any such termination,
repossession or reletting. In any such event, 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, repossession or eviction. Thereafter,
Lessee shall forthwith pay to Lessor, at Lessor's option, either:
(i) the sum of: (x) all Rent that is due and unpaid at the later
to occur of termination, repossession or eviction, together
with interest thereon at the Overdue Rate to the date of
payment, plus (y) the worth (calculated in the manner stated
below) of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance
of the Term after the later to occur of the termination,
repossession or eviction exceeds the fair market rental value
of the Leased Property for the balance of the Term, plus (z)
any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all damage
proximately caused by Lessee's failure to perform
<PAGE> 104
the Lease Obligations or which in the ordinary course would be
likely to result therefrom; or
(ii) each payment of Rent as the same would have become due and
payable if Lessee's right of possession or other rights under
this Lease had not been terminated, or if Lessee had not been
evicted, or if the Leased Property had not been repossessed;
which Rent, to the extent permitted by law, shall bear
interest at the Overdue Rate from the date when due until the
date paid, and Lessor may enforce, by action or otherwise, any
other term or covenant of this Lease. There shall be credited
against Lessee's obligation under this Clause (ii) amounts
actually collected by Lessor from another tenant to whom the
Leased Property may have actually been leased or, if Lessor is
operating the Leased Property for its own account, the actual
Cash Flow of the Leased Property.
In making the determinations described in subparagraph (i) above, the
"worth" of unpaid Rent shall be determined by a court having jurisdiction
thereof using the lowest rate of capitalization (highest present worth)
reasonably applicable at the time of such determination and allowed by
applicable law.
16.4 LESSEE WAIVERS. If this Lease is terminated pursuant to Section
16.2, Lessee waives, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, (a) any
right of redemption, re-entry or repossession, (b) any right to a trial by jury
in the event of summary proceedings to enforce the remedies set forth in this
Article 16, and (c) the benefit of any laws now or hereafter in force exempting
property from liability for rent or for debt.
16.5 APPLICATION OF FUNDS. Any 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 Lease Default shall be applied to the Lease
Obligations in the order which Lessor may reasonably determine or as may be
required by the laws of the State.
16.6 [INTENTIONALLY DELETED].
16.7 LESSOR'S RIGHT TO CURE. If Lessee 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 16.1, Lessor,
after five (5) Business Days' prior notice to Lessee (except in an emergency
when such shorter notice shall be given as is reasonable under the
circumstances), and without waiving or releasing any obligation or Event of
Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) at any time thereafter make
such payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of 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 and all costs and expenses (including,
without limitation, 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 as an Additional Charge. The obligations of
<PAGE> 105
Lessee and rights of Lessor contained in this Article shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
16.8 NO WAIVER BY LESSOR. Lessor shall not by any act, delay, omission
or otherwise (including, without limitation, the exercise of any right or remedy
hereunder) be deemed to have waived any of its right or remedies hereunder or
under any of the other Lease Documents unless such waiver is in writing and
signed by Lessor, and then, only to the extent specifically set forth therein.
No waiver at any time of any of the terms, conditions, covenants,
representations or warranties set forth in any of the Lease Documents
(including, without limitation, any of the time periods set forth therein for
the performance of the Lease Obligations) shall be construed as a waiver of any
other term, condition, covenant, representation or warranty of any of the Lease
Documents, nor shall such a waiver in any one instance or circumstances be
construed as a waiver of the same term, condition, covenant, representation or
warranty in any subsequent instance or circumstance. No such failure, delay or
waiver shall be construed as creating a requirement that Lessor must thereafter,
as a result of such failure, delay or waiver, give notice to Lessee or the
Guarantor, the Developer or any other Person that Lessor does not intend to, or
may not, give a further waiver or to refrain from insisting upon the strict
performance of the terms, conditions, covenants, representations and warranties
set forth in the Lease Documents before Lessor can exercise any of its rights or
remedies under any of the Lease Documents or before any Lease Default can occur,
or as establishing a course of dealing for interpreting the conduct of and
agreements between Lessor and Lessee, the Guarantor, the Developer or any other
Person.
The acceptance by Lessor of any payment that is less than payment in
full of all amounts then due under any of the Lease Documents at the time of the
making of such payment shall not: (a) constitute a waiver of the right to
exercise any of Lessor's remedies at that time or at any subsequent time, (b)
constitute an accord and satisfaction or (v) nullify any prior exercise of any
remedy, without the express written consent of Lessor. Any failure by Lessor to
take any action under this Lease or any of the other Lease Documents by reason
of a default hereunder or thereunder, any acceptance of a past due installment,
or any indulgence granted from time to time shall not be construed (i) as a
novation of this Lease or any of the other Lease Documents, (ii) as a waiver of
any right of Lessor thereafter to insist upon strict compliance with the terms
of this Lease or any of the other Lease Documents or (iii) to prevent the
exercise of any right of acceleration or any other right granted hereunder or
under applicable law; and to the maximum extent not prohibited by applicable
law, Lessor hereby expressly waives the benefit of any statute or rule of law or
equity now provided, or which may hereafter be provided, which would produce a
result contrary to or in conflict with the foregoing.
16.9 RIGHT OF FORBEARANCE. Whether or not for consideration paid or
payable to Lessor and, except as may be otherwise specifically agreed to by
Lessor in writing, no forbearance on the part of Lessor, no extension of the
time for the payment of the whole or any part of the Obligations, and no other
indulgence given by Lessor to Lessee or any other Person, shall operate to
release or in any manner affect the original liability of Lessee or such other
Persons, or to limit, prejudice or impair any right of Lessor, including,
without limitation, the right to realize upon any collateral, or any part
thereof,
<PAGE> 106
for any of the Obligations evidenced or secured by the Lease Documents; notice
of any such extension, forbearance or indulgence being hereby waived by Lessee
and all those claiming by, through or under Lessee.
16.10 CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. The rights and remedies set forth under this
Lease are in addition to all other rights and remedies afforded to Lessor under
any of the other Lease Documents or at law or in equity, all of which are hereby
reserved by Lessor, and this Lease is made and accepted without prejudice to any
such rights and remedies. All of the rights and remedies of Lessor under each of
the Lease Documents shall be separate and cumulative and may be exercised
concurrently or successively in Lessor's sole and absolute discretion.
ARTICLE 17
SURRENDER OF LEASED PROPERTY OR LEASE; HOLDING OVER
17.1 SURRENDER. Lessee shall, upon the expiration or prior termination
of the Term (unless Lessee has concurrently purchased the Leased Property in
accordance with the terms hereof), vacate and surrender the Leased Property to
Lessor in good repair and condition, in compliance with all Legal Requirements,
all Insurance Requirements, and in compliance with the provisions of Article 8,
except for: (a) ordinary wear and tear (subject to the obligation of Lessee to
maintain the Leased Property in good order and repair during the entire Term of
the Lease), (b) damage caused by the gross negligence or willful acts of Lessor,
and (c) any damage or destruction resulting from a Casualty or Taking that
Lessee is not required by the terms of this Lease to repair or restore.

upon any request made from time to time by Lessor, Lessee shall (a) promptly and
diligently use its best efforts to (i) transfer and assign all Permits and
Contracts necessary or desirable for the operation of the Leased Property in
accordance with its Primary Intended Lease to Lessor or its designee and/or (ii)
arrange for the transfer or assignment of such Permits and Contracts to Lessor
or its designee, all to the extent the same may be transferred or assigned under
applicable law and (b) cooperate in every respect (and to the fullest extent
possible) and assist Lessor or its designee in obtaining such Permits and
Contracts (whether by transfer, assignment or otherwise). Such efforts and
cooperation on the part of Lessee shall include, without limitation, the
execution, delivery and filing with appropriate Governmental Authorities and
Third Party Payors of any applications, petitions, statements, notices,
requests, assignments and other documents or instruments requested by Lessor.
Furthermore, Lessee shall not take any action or refrain from taking any action
which would defer, delay or jeopardize the process of Lessor or its designee
obtaining said Permits and Contracts (whether by transfer, assignment or
otherwise). Without limiting the foregoing, Lessee shall not seek to transfer or
relocate any of said Permits or Contracts to any location other than the Leased
Property. The provisions of this Section 17.2 shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease.
<PAGE> 107
Lessee hereby appoints Lessor as its attorney-in-fact, with full power
of substitution to take such actions, in the event that Lessee fails to comply
with any request made by Lessor hereunder, as Lessor (in its sole absolute
discretion) may deem necessary or desirable to effectuate the intent of this
Section 17.2. The power of attorney conferred on Lessor by the provisions of
this Section 17.2, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable until
the Obligations are fully paid and performed and shall not be affected by any
disability or incapacity which Lessee may suffer and shall survive the same.
Such power of attorney is provided solely to protect the interests of Lessor and
shall not impose any duty on Lessor to exercise any such power and neither
Lessor nor such attorney-in-fact shall be liable for any act, omission, error in
judgment or mistake of law, except as the same may result from its gross
negligence or willful misconduct.
17.3 NO ACCEPTANCE OF SURRENDER. Except at the expiration of the Term
in the ordinary course, no surrender to Lessor of this Lease or of the Leased
Property or 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.
17.4 HOLDING OVER. If, for any reason, Lessee shall remain in
possession of the Leased Property after the expiration or any earlier
termination of the Term, such possession shall be as a tenant at sufferance
during which time Lessee shall pay as rental each month, one and one-half times
the aggregate of (i) one-twelfth of the aggregate Base Rent payable at the time
of such expiration or earlier termination of the Term; (ii) all Additional
Charges accruing during the month and (iii) all other sums, if any, payable by
Lessee pursuant to the provisions of this Lease with respect to the Leased
Property. During such period of 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
tenants at sufferance, 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.

ARTICLE 18
PURCHASE OF THE LEASED PROPERTY
18.1 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, 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 a deed with
covenants only against acts of Lessor conveying the entire interest of Lessor in
and to the Leased Property to Lessee subject to all Legal Requirements, all of
the matters described in clauses (a), (b), (e) and (g) of Section 11.5.2,
Impositions, any Liens created by Lessee, any Liens created in accordance with
the terms of this Lease or consented to by Lessee, the claims of all Persons
claiming by through or under Lessee, any other matters assented to by Lessee and
all matters for which Lessee has responsibility under any of the Lease
Documents, but otherwise not subject to any other Lien created by Lessor from
and after the Commencement Date (other than an Encumbrance permitted under
Article 20 which Lessee elects to assume). The applicable purchase price 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. All expenses of such conveyance, including, without limitation, title
examination costs, standard (and extended) coverage title insurance premiums,
attorneys' fees incurred by Lessor in connection with such conveyance, recording
and transfer taxes and recording fees and other similar charges shall be paid by
Lessee.
18.2 APPRAISAL.
18.2.1 DESIGNATION OF APPRAISERS. In the event that it becomes
necessary to determine the Fair Market Value of the Leased 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 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.
18.2.2 APPRAISAL PROCESS. 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 appraise the Leased Property 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
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 two appraisers shall have been
appointed and shall have made their determinations within the
respective requisite
<PAGE> 109
periods set forth above and if the difference between the amounts so
determined shall not exceed ten per cent (10%) of the lesser of such
amounts, then the Fair Market Value of the Leased Property 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 of the Leased
Property, 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 of the Leased Property 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 of
the Leased Property.
18.2.3 SPECIFIC ENFORCEMENT AND COSTS. 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.
18.3 LESSEE'S LIMITED RIGHT OF REFUSAL. At any time during the Term, as
long as, at the time of exercise and on the date of closing, this Lease is then
in full force and effect, and there exists no Lease Default, nor any state of
facts or circumstances which would constitute a Lease Default, or which, with
the passage of time and/or the giving of notice, would constitute a Lease
Default, Lessee shall have a "Right of First Refusal" subject to the following
terms and conditions: (a) if Lessor receives a bona fide written offer to
purchase the Leased Property from a Person which is not a member of the Leasing
Group or an Affiliate of any member of the Leasing Group (the "Offer"),
acceptable to Lessor in Lessor's sole and absolute discretion and Lessor elects,
in Lessor's sole and absolute discretion, to sell the Leased Property in
accordance with the Offer, Lessee shall have thirty (30) days following notice
of the Offer to elect to purchase the Leased Property on the same terms and
conditions as specified in the Offer; (b) unless Lessor receives notice from
Lessee within such thirty (30) day period setting forth Lessee's election to so
purchase the Leased Property and unless thereafter Lessee completes the
acquisition of the Leased Property exactly as provided for, and by the date
specified, in the Offer, Lessor shall be at liberty, and shall have the absolute
and unconditional right, to sell the Leased Property to any Person within the
next twelve (12) months substantially on the
<PAGE> 110
terms and conditions set forth in the Offer or on any other terms and conditions
more favorable to Lessor; and (c) any such sale consummated in accordance with
the provisions of the foregoing clause (b) shall extinguish all rights granted
to Lessee under this Section 18.3. Lessee's Right of First Refusal shall not
apply to and shall survive: (a) any sale or transfer of the Leased Property to
any Affiliate of Lessor; (b) any sale or transfer of the Leased Property
occasioned by the exercise of any rights or remedies of any Fee Mortgagee; or
(c) a deed or transfer in lieu of foreclosure to any Fee Mortgagee or any
Affiliate thereof. Lessee's Right of First Refusal shall in all events terminate
upon the expiration or any earlier termination of this Lease.
18.4 LESSEE'S OPTION TO PURCHASE.
18.4.1 CONDITIONS TO OPTION. On the conditions (which
conditions Lessor may waive, at its sole option, by notice to Lessee at
any time) that (a) at the time of exercise of the Purchase Option and
on the applicable Purchase Option Date, there then exists no Lease
Default, nor any state of facts or circumstance which constitutes, or
with the passage of time and/or the giving of notice, would constitute
a Lease Default and (b) Lessee strictly complies with the provisions of
this Section 18.4, then Lessee shall have the option to purchase the
Leased Property, at the price and upon the terms hereinafter set forth
(the "Purchase Option").
18.4.2 EXERCISE OF OPTION. The Purchase Option shall permit
Lessee to purchase the Leased Property (a) on the last day of the
Initial Term or (b) on the last day of any Extended Term effectively
exercised by Lessee (each of such dates are referred to herein as a
"Purchase Option Date") and shall be exercised by notice given by
Lessee to Lessor (the "Lessee's Purchase Option Notice") at least one
hundred eighty (180) days (but not more than two hundred seventy (270)
days) prior to the relevant Purchase Option Date. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, Lessee's right to
purchase the Leased Property is subject to the further conditions that
(i) concurrently with the exercise of the option set forth under this
Section 18.4, the Lessee shall have exercised its right to purchase the
premises demised under each of the Related Leases in accordance with
the provisions of Section 18.4 of each of the Related Leases and (ii)
the conveyance of the Leased Property pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 18.4 shall occur simultaneously with the conveyance of the
premises demised under each of the Related Leases pursuant to Section
18.4 of each of the Related Leases and (iii) all of the conditions in
the Agreement Regarding Related Lease Transactions pertaining to the
Purchase Option are satisfied. Once given, Lessee shall have no right
to rescind Lessee's Purchase Option Notice.
18.4.3 CONVEYANCE. If the Purchase Option is exercised by
Lessee in accordance with the terms hereof, the Leased Property shall
be conveyed by a good and sufficient deed with covenants only against
acts of Lessor (the "Deed") running to Lessee or to such grantee as
Lessee may designate by notice to Lessor at least seven (7) days before
the Time of Closing.
<PAGE> 111
18.4.4 CALCULATION OF PURCHASE PRICE. Subject to the terms of
the Agreement Regarding Related Lease Transactions, the price to be
paid by Lessee for the acquisition of the Leased Property pursuant to
this Purchase Option (the "Purchase Price") shall be equal to the
greater of (a) the Meditrust Investment or (b) an amount equal to the
then Fair Market Value of the Leased Property minus the Fair Market
Added Value.
18.4.5 PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE. Subject to the terms of the
Agreement Regarding Related Lease Transactions, the Purchase Price
shall be paid by Lessee at the Time of Closing by certified, cashier's,
treasurer's or bank check(s) or wire transfer pursuant to instructions
received from Lessor.
18.4.6 PLACE AND TIME OF CLOSING. Subject to the terms of the
Agreement Regarding Related Lease Transactions, if the Purchase Option
is exercised, the closing shall occur and the Deed shall be delivered
(the "Closing") at the office of Lessor at 12:00 o'clock noon (local
time in Boston, Massachusetts) on the applicable Purchase Option Date
(such time, as the same may be extended by mutual written agreement of
Lessor and Lessee, being hereinafter referred to as the "Time of
Closing"). It is agreed that time is of the essence of the Purchase
Option.
18.4.7 CONDITION OF LEASED PROPERTY. The Leased Property is to
be purchased "AS IS" and "WHERE IS" as of the Time of Closing.
18.4.8 QUALITY OF TITLE. If Lessor shall be unable to give
title or to make conveyance, as stipulated in this Section 18.4, then,
at Lessor's option, Lessor shall use reasonable efforts to remove all
defects in title and the applicable Purchase Option Date and Time of
Closing shall be extended for period of thirty (30) days. Lessor shall
not be required to expend more than FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($50,000)
(inclusive of attorney's fees) in order to have used "reasonable
efforts."
18.4.9 LESSOR'S INABILITY TO PERFORM. If at the expiration of
the extended time Lessor shall have failed so to remove any such
defects in title, then all other obligations of all parties hereto
under Section 18.4 shall cease and Section 18.4 shall be void and
without recourse to the parties hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Lessee shall have the election, at either the original or extended
Purchase Option Date and Time of Closing, to accept such title as
Lessor can deliver to the Leased Property in its then condition and to
pay therefor the Purchase Price without reduction, in which case Lessor
shall convey such title; provided, that, in the event of such
conveyance, if any portion of the Leased Property shall have been taken
by Condemnation prior to the applicable Purchase Option Date and Time
of Closing, Lessor shall pay over or assign to Lessee at the Time of
Closing, all Awards recovered on account of such Taking, less any
amounts reasonably expended by Lessor in obtaining such Awards, or, to
the extent such Awards have not been recovered as of the applicable
Purchase Option Date and Time of Closing, Lessor shall assign to Lessee
all its rights with respect to any claim therefor.
<PAGE> 112
18.4.10 MERGER BY DEED. The acceptance of the Deed by Lessee or
the grantee designated by Lessee, as the case may be, shall be deemed
to be a full performance and discharge of every agreement and
obligation to be performed by Lessor contained or expressed in this
Lease.
18.4.11 USE OF PURCHASE PRICE TO CLEAR TITLE. To enable Lessor
to make conveyance as provided in this Section, Lessor may, at the Time
of Closing, use the Purchase Price or any portion thereof to clear the
title of any Lien, provided that all instruments so procured are
recorded contemporaneously with the Closing or reasonable arrangements
are made for a recording subsequent to the Time of Closing in
accordance with customary conveyancing practices.
18.4.12 LESSEE'S DEFAULT. If Lessee delivers Lessee's Purchase
Option Notice and fails to consummate the purchase of the Leased
Property in accordance with the terms hereof for any reason other than
Lessor's willful and unexcused refusal to deliver the Deed, (a) Lessee
shall thereafter have no further right to purchase the Leased Property
pursuant to this Section, although this Lease shall otherwise continue
in full force and effect and (b) Lessor shall have the right to sue for
specific performance of Lessee's obligations to purchase the Leased
Property provided such suit for specific performance is commenced
within one (1) year after the applicable Purchase Option Date on which
such sale was supposed to occur.
ARTICLE 19
SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT
19.1 SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT. Except as specifically set forth in
Section 19.2 and Section 19.4 below, Lessee may not, without the prior written
consent of Lessor, which consent may be withheld in Lessor's sole and absolute
discretion, assign or pledge all or any portion of its interest in this Lease or
any of the other Lease Documents (whether by operation of law or otherwise) or
sublet all or any part of the Leased Property. For purposes of this Section
19.1, the term "assign" shall be deemed to include, but not be limited to, any
one or more sales, pledges, hypothecations or other transfers (including,
without limitation, any transfer by operation of law) of any of the capital
stock of or partnership interest in Lessee or sales, pledges, hypothecations or
other transfers (including, without limitation, any transfer by operation of
law) of the capital or the assets of Lessee. Any such assignment, pledge, sale,
hypothecation or other transfer made without Lessor's consent shall be void and
of no force and effect.
19.2 PERMITTED SUBLEASES. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall
have the right to enter into Residence Agreements without the prior consent of
Lessor.
19.3 ATTORNMENT. Lessee shall insert in each Sublease approved by
Lessor provisions to the effect that (a) 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
<PAGE> 113
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 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 Lessor or as Lessor may direct. All
rentals received from the Sublessee by Lessor shall be credited against the
amounts owing by Lessee under this Lease.
19.4 PERMITTED ASSIGNMENTS. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section
19.1, the current holders of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of
the Lessee may transfer such capital stock of Lessee to the Guarantor (or, at
the option of the Guarantor, to a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Guarantor),
subject to the Liens created by the Stock Pledge Agreement, pursuant to the
terms and conditions of the BCC Option Agreement (the "Stock Transfer");
provided that: (a) at the time of the consummation of the Stock Transfer, no
Lease Default shall have occurred (excluding any Lease Default which has been
waived, in writing, by Lessor), nor any event which, with the giving of notice
and/or the passage of time, could result in a Lease Default and (b) prior to or
simultaneously with the consummation of the Stock Transfer, the Guarantor shall
have delivered to Lessor (i) a guaranty of the Lease Obligations executed by the
Guarantor (the "BCC Guaranty"), in form and substance acceptable to Lessor (and,
without limiting the foregoing, the BCC Guaranty shall include the financial
covenants set forth in Section 10.9 of the Working Capital Assurance Agreement),
(ii) a fully-executed Stock Pledge Agreement, in a form substantially similar to
the Pledge Agreement, executed by the Guarantor (or, if applicable, the
wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Guarantor to which the issued and outstanding
stock of the Lessee is to be transferred) granting to Lessor a first priority
security interest in all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock
of Lessee (the "BCC Stock Pledge"), (iii) the stock certificate(s) evidencing
such pledged shares, along with stock power(s) (in a form acceptable to Lessor)
duly endorsed in blank and (iv) a legal opinion, in form and substance
satisfactory to Lessor (1) evidencing the authority of the Guarantor to execute
and deliver the BCC Stock Pledge, the BCC Guaranty and such stock powers and the
enforceability of such documents and (2) stating whether any notices to and/or
approvals from any Governmental Authority (or other Person) are required for
such transfer and, if so, that such notices and approvals have been sent and/or
obtained, as the case may be. From and after the consummation of the Stock
Transfer, in accordance with the terms hereof and the terms of the Working
Capital Loan Agreement, and the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this
Section 19.4, the Related Party Obligations shall include all "Related Party
Obligations" as defined under the State College Lease; provided, however, that,
except as otherwise provided within the definition of the term "Related Parties"
in Article 2 hereof, the consummation of the Stock Transfer shall have no effect
whatsoever on the Related Leases, the Tenant Parties or any terms, conditions or
other provisions set forth herein or in any of the other Lease Documents
relating thereto.
In connection with the consummation the Stock Transfer, the Lessee
shall have the option, exercisable by written notice to the Lessor ten (10)
Business Days prior to the Stock Transfer, to request that the Lessor advance,
under the Leasehold Improvement Agreement, a lump sum payment (the "Working
Capital Payoff") equal to the total
<PAGE> 114
outstanding principal amount and all accrued interest and other sums payable
under the Note. The Working Capital Payoff shall be used to pay the entire
principal balance then remaining unpaid, together with accrued and unpaid
interest thereon and any costs, charges and other amounts due under the Note
(without any penalty or premium) and, upon any such advance of the Working
Capital Payoff by Lessor, Base Rent shall be adjusted accordingly and the Cash
Collateral held under the Deposit Pledge Agreement shall also be adjusted to
reflect the adjusted Base Rent hereunder (i.e., so that the Cash Collateral then
held under the Deposit Pledge Agreement equals 3 monthly payments of Base Rent
as adjusted). The Working Capital Payoff shall be due and payable simultaneously
with the consummation of the Stock Transfer. In the event the Lessee does not
elect to request Lessor to advance the Working Capital Payoff under the
Leasehold Improvement Agreement, the Working Capital Payoff shall nevertheless
be due and payable simultaneously with the consummation of the Stock Transfer
(from other funds of Pledgor) so that the outstanding obligations under the Note
may be paid in full (without penalty or premium), it being understood and agreed
that all obligations under the Note are due and payable as of the date of the
consummation of the Stock Transfer. If Lessor does not advance the Working
Capital Payoff to satisfy the outstanding obligations under the Note, there
shall be no adjustment to Base Rent in connection with the satisfaction of the
outstanding obligations under the Note.
19.5 OTHER PERMITTED TRANSFERS. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth herein, from and after the date of the consummation of the
Guarantor's initial public offering of shares of common stock, (i) subject to
the provisions of the paragraph immediately following this paragraph, any
transfer (whether by operation of law or otherwise) of any shares of the common
stock of the Guarantor shall not constitute a Lease Default and (ii) any merger
of the Guarantor with any other Person shall not constitute a Lease Default,
provided, that, the Guarantor is the surviving entity and remains in compliance
with all of the conditions, covenants and agreements set forth in the Lease
Documents pertaining to the Guarantor (including, without limitation, any
financial covenants).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, from and
after the date of the consummation of the Guarantor's initial public offering of
common stock, the beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), at any time,
by any Person and its Affiliates, either individually or as a group, of an
aggregate of fifty percent (50%) or more of the common stock of the Guarantor
shall constitute a Lease Default.
<PAGE> 115
ARTICLE 20
TITLE TRANSFERS AND LIENS GRANTED BY LESSOR
20.1 NO MERGER OF TITLE. There shall be no merger of this Lease or of
the leasehold estate created hereby with the fee estate in the Leased Property
by reason of the fact that the same Person may acquire, own or hold, directly or
indirectly (a) this Lease or the leasehold estate created hereby or any interest
in this Lease or such leasehold estate and (b) the fee estate in the Leased
Property.
20.2 TRANSFERS BY LESSOR. If the original Lessor named herein or any
successor in interest shall convey the Leased Property in accordance with the
terms hereof, other than as security for a debt, and the grantee or transferee
of the Leased Property shall expressly assume all obligations of Lessor
hereunder arising or accruing from and after the date of such conveyance or
transfer, the original Lessor named herein or the applicable successor in
interest so conveying the Leased Property shall thereupon be released from all
future liabilities and obligations of Lessor under this Lease arising or
accruing from and after the date of such conveyance or other transfer as to the
Leased Property and all such future liabilities and obligations shall thereupon
be binding upon the new owner.
20.3 LESSOR MAY GRANT LIENS. Without the consent of Lessee, but subject
to the terms and conditions set forth below in this Section 20.3, Lessor may,
from time to time, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause to exist
any lien, encumbrance or title retention agreement upon the Leased Property or
any interest therein ("Encumbrance"), whether to secure any borrowing or other
means of financing or refinancing, provided that Lessee shall have no obligation
to make payments under such Encumbrances. Lessee shall subordinate this Lease to
the lien of any such Encumbrance, on the condition that the beneficiary or
holder of such Encumbrance executes a non-disturbance agreement in conformity
with the provisions of Section 20.4. To the extent that any such Encumbrance
consists of a mortgage or deed of trust on Lessor's interest in the Leased
Property the same shall be referred to herein as a "Fee Mortgage" and the holder
thereof shall be referred to herein as a "Fee Mortgagee".
<PAGE> 116
20.4 SUBORDINATION AND NON-DISTURBANCE. Concurrently with the execution
and delivery of any Fee Mortgage entered into after the date hereof, provided
that the Lessee executes and delivers an agreement of the type described in the
following paragraph, Lessor shall obtain and deliver to Lessee an agreement by
the holder of such Fee Mortgage, pursuant to which, (a) the applicable Fee
Mortgagee consents to this Lease and (b) agrees that, notwithstanding the terms
of the applicable Fee Mortgage held by such Fee Mortgagee, or any default,
expiration, termination, foreclosure, sale, entry or other act or omission under
or pursuant to such Fee Mortgage or a transfer in lieu of foreclosure, (i)
Lessee's rights under this Lease shall not be disturbed nor shall this Lease be
terminated or cancelled at any time, except in the event that Lessor shall have
the right to terminate this Lease under the terms and provisions expressly set
forth herein, (ii) Lessee's option to purchase the Leased Property shall remain
in force and effect pursuant to the terms hereof and (iii) in the event that
Lessee elects its option to purchase the Leased Property and performs all of its
obligations hereunder in connection with any such election, the holder of the
Fee Mortgage shall release its Fee Mortgage upon payment by Lessee of the
purchase price required hereunder, provided, that (1) such purchase price is
paid to the holder of the Fee Mortgage, in the event that the Indebtedness
secured by the applicable Fee Mortgage is equal to or greater than the purchase
price or (2) in the event that the purchase price is greater than the
Indebtedness secured by the Fee Mortgage, a portion of the purchase price equal
to the Indebtedness secured by the Fee Mortgage is paid to the Fee Mortgagee and
the remainder of the purchase price is paid to Lessor.
At the request from time to time by any Fee Mortgagee, Lessee shall (a)
subordinate this Lease and all of Lessee's rights and estate hereunder to the
Fee Mortgage held by such Fee Mortgagee and (b) agree that Lessee will attorn to
and recognize such Fee Mortgagee or the purchaser at any foreclosure sale or any
sale under a power of sale contained in any such Fee Mortgage as Lessor under
this Lease for the balance of the Term then remaining. To effect the intent and
purpose of the immediately preceding sentence, Lessee agrees to execute and
deliver such instruments in recordable form as are reasonably requested by
Lessor or the applicable Fee Mortgagee; provided, however, that such Fee
Mortgagee simultaneously executes, delivers and records a written agreement of
the type described in the preceding paragraph.

ARTICLE 21
LESSOR OBLIGATIONS
21.1 QUIET ENJOYMENT. As long as Lessee shall pay all Rent and all
other sums due under any of the Lease Documents as the same become due and shall
fully comply with all of the terms of this Lease and the other Lease Documents
and fully perform its obligations thereunder, Lessee shall peaceably and quietly
have, hold and enjoy the Leased Property throughout the Term, free of any claim
or other action by Lessor or anyone claiming by, through or under Lessor, but
subject to the Permitted Encumbrances and such Liens as may hereafter be
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 perform 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 21.
21.2 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, in which reference to this
Lease and all options and the Right of First Refusal contained herein shall be
made. Lessee shall pay all recording costs and taxes associated therewith.
21.3 DEFAULT BY LESSOR. Lessor shall be in default of its obligations
under this Lease only 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 thirty (30) days after notice thereof from Lessee
(or, from and after the Conversion Date, such shorter time as may be necessary
in order to protect the health or welfare of any residents of the Facility or to
insure the continuing compliance of the Facility with the applicable Legal
Requirements), unless such failure cannot with due diligence be cured within a
period of thirty (30) days, in which case such failure shall not be deemed to
continue if Lessor, within said thirty (30) day period, proceeds promptly and

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
24.1 BROKER'S FEE INDEMNIFICATION. Lessee shall and hereby agrees to
indemnify, defend (with counsel acceptable to Lessor) and hold Lessor harmless
from and against any and all claims for premiums or other charges, finder's
fees, taxes, brokerage fees or commissions and other similar compensation due in
connection with any of the transactions contemplated by the Lease Documents,
except such claims by any Person with whom Lessor has dealt without Lessee's
knowledge in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Lease
Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor shall have the option of
conducting its own defense against any such claims with counsel of Lessor's
choice, but at the expense of Lessee, as aforesaid. This indemnification shall
include all attorneys' fees and expenses and court costs reasonably incurred by
Lessor in connection with the defense against any such claims and the
enforcement of this indemnification agreement and shall survive the termination
of this Lease.
24.2 NO JOINT VENTURE OR PARTNERSHIP. Neither anything contained in any
of the Lease Documents, nor the acts of the parties hereto, shall create, or be
construed to create, a partnership or joint venture between Lessor and Lessee.
Lessee is not the agent or representative of Lessor and nothing contained herein
or in any of the other Lease Documents shall make, or be construed to make,
Lessor liable to any Person for goods delivered to Lessee, services performed
with respect to the Leased Property at the direction of Lessee or for debts or
claims accruing against Lessee.
24.3 AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS AND MODIFICATIONS. Except as otherwise
expressly provided for herein or in any other Lease Document, none of the terms,
covenants, conditions, warranties or representations contained in this Lease or
in any of the other Lease Documents may be renewed, replaced, amended, modified,
extended, substituted, revised, waived, consolidated or terminated except by an
agreement in writing signed by (a) all parties to this Lease or the other
applicable Lease Document, as the case may be, with regard to any such renewal,
replacement, amendment, modification, extension, substitution, revision,
consolidation or termination and (b) the Person against whom enforcement is
sought with regard to any waiver. The provisions of this Lease and the other
Lease Documents shall extend and be applicable to all renewals, replacements,
amendments, extensions, substitutions, revisions, consolidations and
modifications of any of the Lease Documents, the Management Agreements, the
Related Party Agreements, the Working Capital Loan Documents, the Permits and/or
the Contracts. References herein and in the other Lease Documents to any of the
Lease Documents, the Management Agreements, the Related Party Agreements, the
Working Capital Loan Documents, the Permits and/or the Contracts shall be deemed
to include any renewals, replacements, amendments, extensions, substitutions,
revisions, consolidations or modifications thereof.
<PAGE> 121
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any reference contained in any of the
Lease Documents, whether express or implied, to any renewal, replacement,
amendment, extension, substitution, revisions, consolidation or modification of
any of the Lease Documents or any Management Agreement, Related Party Agreement,
Working Capital Loan Documents, Permit and/or the Contract is not intended to
constitute an agreement or consent by Lessor to any such renewal, replacement,
amendment, substitution, revision, consolidation or modification; but, rather as
a reference only to those instances where Lessor may give, agree or consent to
any such renewal, replacement, amendment, extension, substitution, revision,
consolidation or modification as the same may be required pursuant to the terms,
covenants and conditions of any of the Lease Documents.
24.4 CAPTIONS AND HEADINGS. The captions and headings set forth in this
Lease and each of the other Lease Documents are included for convenience and
reference only, and the words contained therein shall in no way be held or

Lease, any of the other Lease Documents or any parts hereof or thereof.

condition, covenant and warranty set forth herein and in the other Lease
Documents.
24.6 COUNTERPARTS. This Lease and the other Lease Documents may be
executed in one or more counterparts, each of which taken together shall
constitute an original and all of which shall constitute one in the same
instrument.
24.7 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Lease and the other Lease Documents set
forth the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter and
shall supersede in all respects those provisions of the letter of intent dated
September 12, 1997 (and all prior iterations thereof), from Meditrust to the
Guarantor, accepted by the Guarantor on September 15, 1997 relating to the
Project.
24.8 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, LESSOR AND LESSEE HEREBY MUTUALLY, KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND
INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT WHICH ANY PARTY HERETO MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE
TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF
OR RELATING TO THE LEASE OR ANY OF THE LEASE DOCUMENTS. Lessee hereby certifies
that neither Lessor nor any of Lessor's representatives, agents or counsel has
represented expressly or otherwise that Lessor would not, in the event of any
such suit, action or proceeding seek to enforce this waiver to the right of
trial by jury and acknowledges that Lessor has been induced by this waiver
(among other things) to enter into the transactions evidenced by this Lease and
the other Lease Documents and further acknowledges that Lessee (a) has read the
provisions of this Lease, and in particular, the paragraph containing this
waiver, (b) has consulted legal counsel, (c) understands the rights that it is
granting in this Lease and the rights that it waiving in this paragraph in
<PAGE> 122
particular and (d) makes the waivers set forth herein knowingly, voluntarily and
intentionally.
24.9 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Lease and the other Lease Documents
shall be binding and inure to the benefit of (a) upon Lessee and Lessee's legal
representatives and permitted successors and assigns and (b) Lessor and any
other Person who may now or hereafter hold the interest of Lessor under this
Lease and their respective successors and assigns. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Lessee shall not assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder or
under any of the other Lease Documents without the prior written consent of
Lessor, in each instance, which consent may be withheld in Lessor's sole and
absolute discretion.
24.10 NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. This Lease and the other Lease
Documents are solely for the benefit of Lessor, its successors, assigns and
participants (if any), the Meditrust Entities, the Indemnified Parties, Lessee,
the Guarantor, the other members of the Leasing Group and their respective
permitted successors and assigns, and, except as otherwise expressly set forth
in any of the Lease Documents, nothing contained therein shall confer upon any
Person other than such parties any right to insist upon or to enforce the
performance or observance of any of the obligations contained therein. All
conditions to the obligations of Lessor to advance or make available proceeds of
insurance or Awards, or to release any deposits held for Impositions or
insurance premiums are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lessor,
its successors and assigns. No other Person shall have standing to require
satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms, and no other
Person shall, under any circumstances, be a beneficiary of such conditions, any
or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lessor at any time,
if, in Lessor's sole and absolute discretion, Lessor deems it advisable or
desirable to do so.
24.11 GOVERNING LAW. This Lease shall be construed, and the rights and
obligations of Lessor and Lessee shall be determined, in accordance with the
laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, except (a) that the laws of the State
shall govern this Lease to the extent necessary to obtain the benefit of and/or
enforce the rights and remedies set forth herein with respect to the Leased
Property and (b) for procedural requirements relating to the Leased Property
which must be governed by the laws of the State.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Lessee hereby
submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
and the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, as well
as to the jurisdiction of all courts from which an appeal may be taken from the
aforesaid courts, for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding
arising out of, or with respect to any of the Lease Documents, the negotiation
and/or consummation of the transactions evidenced by the Lease Documents,
Lessor's relationship with any member of the Leasing Group in connection with
the transactions evidenced by the Lease Documents and/or the performance of any
obligation or the exercise of any remedy under any of the Lease
<PAGE> 123
Documents and expressly waives any and all objections Lessee may have as to
venue in any of such courts.
24.12 GENERAL. Anything contained in this Lease to the contrary
notwithstanding, all claims against, and liabilities of, Lessee or Lessor
arising prior to any date of termination of this Lease or any of the other Lease
Documents shall survive such termination.
If any provision of this Lease or any of the other Lease Documents or
any application thereof shall be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this
Lease or the other applicable Lease Document, as the case may be, and any other
application of such term or provision shall not be affected thereby.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of the parties hereto that if
any provision of any of this Lease is capable of two (2) constructions, one of
which would render the provision void and the other of which would render the
provision valid, then such provision shall be construed in accordance with the
construction which renders such provision valid.
If any late charges provided for in any provision of this Lease or any
of the other Lease Documents are based upon a rate in excess of the maximum rate
permitted by applicable law, the parties agree that such charges shall be fixed
at the maximum permissible rate.
Lessee waives all presentments, demands for performance, notices of
nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, and notices
of acceptance and waives all notices of the existence, creation, or incurring of
new or additional obligations, except as to all of the foregoing as expressly
provided for herein.

ARTICLE 25
SUBSTITUTION OF PROPERTY
25.1 SUBSTITUTION OF PROPERTY FOR THE LEASED PROPERTY. Provided that no
default has occurred under this Lease (excluding any default which has been
cured in accordance with the terms hereof or which has been waived, in writing,
by the Lessor), nor any event which, with the giving of notice or the passage of
time or both, would constitute such a default, Lessee shall have the right from
time to time (referred to herein as the "Substitution Right"), exercisable upon
not less than ninety (90) days' prior written notice to Lessor (referred to
herein as a "Substitution Notice") to substitute, on a date specified in such
Substitution Notice (such date, as the same may be extended by express written
agreement of Lessor, shall be referred to herein as a "Substitution Date"), the
Leased Property with a Comparable Facility. As used herein, the term "Comparable
Facility" shall be defined as an adult care residence, assisted living facility
or other similar senior housing facility which Lessor determines (a) has an
appraised Fair Market Value greater than or equal to the greater of (i) the
appraised Fair Market Value of the Leased Property at the Commencement Date or
(ii) the appraised Fair Market Value of the Leased Property at the time that the
applicable Substitution Notice is furnished to Lessor (based on appraisal
criteria then in effect), (b) has a Rent Coverage Ratio greater than or equal to
the greater of (i) the Rent Coverage Ratio of the Leased Property as of the
Commencement Date or (ii) the Rent Coverage Ratio of the Leased Property at the
time that the applicable Substitution Notice is furnished to Lessor, (c)
provides a mix of services similar to the Leased Property and (d) is otherwise
reasonably acceptable, in all respects, to Lessor (based on Lessor's usual and
customary property evaluation criteria then in effect). Lessee may not exercise
its Substitution Right more than once in any calendar year.
25.2 CONDITIONS TO SUBSTITUTION. Without limiting the foregoing, as
conditions precedent to the consummation of any proposed substitution:
(a) as of the applicable Substitution Date, no Lease Default
shall have occurred (excluding any Lease Default which has been waived,
in writing, by Lessor), nor any event which with the giving of notice
and/or the passage of time would constitute such a default;
(b) Lessor shall have received engineering and inspection
reports relating to the medical office building identified by Lessee in
the applicable Substitution Notice (referred to herein as a "Proposed
Facility"), reasonably satisfactory in all respects to Lessor;
(c) Lessee shall have delivered to Lessor (i) an MAI appraisal
of the Proposed Facility (prepared by an appraiser selected by Lessee
and approved by Lessor), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to Lessor and (ii) an
<PAGE> 125
instrument survey of the premises upon which the Proposed Facility is
located acceptable to Lessor and the Title Company;
(d) Lessor shall be satisfied as to compliance of Lessee, the
Proposed Facility, the owner of the Proposed Facility (to the extent
such owner is not Lessee as provided in subsection (l) below) and/or
the proposed substitution, as the case may be, with (i) all applicable
land use, zoning, subdivision and environmental laws and regulations,
(ii) all applicable health-care and/or adult care, assisted living or
other similar senior housing licensure laws and regulations and (III)
such other matters as Lessor reasonably deems relevant (including,
without limitation, whether the conveyance of the property to Lessor in
connection with the proposed substitution may be avoided under the
Bankruptcy Code);
(e) Lessee shall have delivered to Lessor a valid and binding
owner's or lessee's (as applicable) title insurance commitment issued
by a title insurer reasonably acceptable to Lessor (the "Title
Company"), in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the Proposed
Facility, with such endorsements and affirmative coverages, and in such
form, as Lessor may reasonably require insuring Lessor's fee title or
leasehold title to the Proposed Facility, subject to no Liens except
those approved or assumed by Lessor and arrangements satisfactory to
Lessor shall have been made for the issuance of a title insurance
policy on the Substitution Date in accordance with such title insurance
commitment;
(f) Lessee shall have delivered an environmental site
assessment report relating to the Proposed Facility, in form and
substance reasonably acceptable to Lessor and prepared by an
environmental consultant reasonably acceptable to Lessor;
(g) Lessor shall have obtained, at Lessee's cost, an opinion of
Lessor's counsel, in form and substance acceptable to Lessor,
confirming that (i) the substitution of the Proposed Facility 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 1250(d)(4) 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 (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 or any Affiliate of Lessee or of any
Guarantor pursuant to any other leases with Lessor (or any of its
Affiliates) or any other transfers of the Leased Property or the
properties leased under other such leases, during the relevant time
period, will not jeopardize the qualification of Lessor as a real
estate investment trust under Code Sections 856-860;
<PAGE> 126
(h) Lessor shall have received opinions of Lessee's counsel as
to (i) the compliance of the Proposed Facility with land use, zoning,
subdivision and environmental laws and regulations, (ii) the compliance
of Lessee, the owner of the Proposed Facility (to the extent such owner
is not Lessee as provided in subsection (l) below), the proposed

adult care, assisted living and/or other similar senior housing laws
and regulations, (iii) the due authorization, execution and
enforceability of the Substitution Documents and (iv) such other
matters as are reasonably requested; in form and substance reasonably
acceptable to Lessor;
(i) Lessee and the Guarantor shall have executed and delivered,
or caused to be executed and delivered, such documents as are
reasonably required by Lessor to effectuate the substitution
(collectively, the "Substitution Documents"), including, without
limitation, (i) a deed with full warranties or assignment of a
leasehold estate with full warranties (as applicable) conveying to
Lessor title to the Proposed Facility free and clear of all Liens,
except those approved or assumed by Lessor, (ii) a facility lease (the
"Substitution Lease") duly executed, acknowledged and delivered by
Lessee, containing the same terms and conditions as are contained
herein except that (1) the legal description of the land shall refer to
the Proposed Facility, (2) the Meditrust Investment in the Proposed
Facility shall be an amount equal to the Meditrust Investment in the
Leased Property increased by any Cash Adjustment paid by Lessor, (3)
the Rent under the Substitution Lease in all respects shall provide
Lessor with a substantially equivalent yield at the time of the
substitution (i.e., annual return on its equity in such Proposed
Facility) to that received (and reasonably expected to be received
thereafter) from the Leased Property, taking into account the Cash
Adjustment, if any, paid by Lessor and any other relevant factors and
(4) such other changes therein as may be necessary or appropriate under
the circumstances shall be made; (iii) a collateral assignment of
permits, licenses, approvals and contracts relating to the Proposed
Facility, substantially in the form of the Lessee Permits Assignment;
(iv) UCC financing statements and (v) an affiliated party subordination
agreement, substantially in the form of Affiliated Party Subordination
Agreement, shall be executed by the parties to the Affiliated Party
Subordination Agreement and such other Persons as are deemed necessary
or appropriate by the Lessor. The Substitution Documents shall be based
upon and contain the same terms and conditions as are set forth in
Lessee Documents in effect prior to the substitution, except that such
changes shall be made as may be necessary or reasonably appropriate
under the circumstances to effectuate the substitution and secure the
protection and priority of the property and security interests conveyed
and/or granted to Lessor;
(j) without limiting any other provision contained herein,
Lessee shall have delivered to Lessor such other information and
materials relating to Lessee, the owner of the Proposed Facility (to
the extent that such owner is not Lessee as provided in subsection (l)
below) and the Proposed Facility as Lessor may reasonably request,
including, without limitation, leases, receipted bills, management
agreements and other Contracts, Provider Agreements, cost reports,
<PAGE> 127
Permits, evidence of legal and actual access to the Proposed Facility,
evidence of the availability and sufficiency of utilities servicing the
Proposed Facility, historical and current operating statements,
detailed budgets and financial statements and Lessor shall have found
the same to be satisfactory in all respects;
(k) without limiting Lessee's obligations to pay the
Substitution Closing Costs in accordance with the provisions of Section
25.4, Lessee shall also pay to Lessor a fee equal to one percent (1%)
of the Meditrust Investment;
(l) the Proposed Facility shall be owned or leased by Lessee or
an Affiliate of Lessee that is acceptable to Lessor; provided, however,
that in the event that the Proposed Facility is owned by any such
Affiliate, (i) said Affiliate shall execute and deliver to Lessor such
Substitution Documents as may be reasonably required by Lessor and (ii)
Lessor shall be provided with such evidence as it may require to
determine that the conveyance of the Proposed Facility (or a leasehold
interest therein) to Lessor does not constitute a fraudulent conveyance
(under applicable federal or state law);
(m) Lessee shall have delivered to Lessor an insurance
certificate evidencing compliance with all of the insurance
requirements set forth in the Substitution Documents;
(n) Lessee shall have delivered to Lessor an Officer's
Certificate certifying as of the Substitution Date that (i) the
Proposed Facility has been accepted by Lessee for all purposes of the
Substitution Lease and there has been no material damage to the
improvements located on the Proposed Facility, nor is any condemnation
or eminent domain proceeding pending with respect thereto; (ii) all
Permits (including, but not limited to, a permanent, unconditional
certificate of occupancy) which are necessary to permit the use of the
Proposed Facility in accordance with the provisions of the Substitution
Lease have been obtained and are in full force and effect; (iii) under
applicable zoning and use laws, ordinances, rules and regulations, the
Proposed Facility may be used for the purposes contemplated by
Substitution Documents and all necessary subdivision approvals have
been obtained; (iv) to the best knowledge of Lessee, there exists no
Lease Default under this Lease, and no defense, offset or claim exists
with respect to any sums to be paid by Lessee hereunder, and (v) any
exceptions to Lessor's title to the Proposed Facility do not materially
interfere with the intended use of the Proposed Facility by Lessee;
(o) Lessor shall have determined that the Proposed Facility
constitutes a Comparable Facility; and
(P) Lessor shall have received all Rent due and payable
hereunder through the Substitution Date.
<PAGE> 128
In the event that the equity value of the Proposed Facility (i.e., the
Fair Market Value of the Proposed Facility minus the Liens to which Lessor will
take the Proposed Facility subject) 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 Liens to which Lessee will take the Leased Property
subject other than those Liens which Lessee is obligated to pay or discharge
pursuant to the terms of this Lease) as of the Substitution Date, subject to the
limitation set forth below, Lessor shall pay an amount equal to the difference
to Lessee; provided, however, that Lessor shall not be obligated to consummate
such substitution if Lessor would be required to make a payment to Lessee of an
amount equal to or in excess of fifteen percent (15%) of said Fair Market Value
of the Leased Property (the amount of cash paid by Lessor to Lessee being
referred to herein as the "Cash Adjustment"). Without limiting the generality or
effect of the preceding sentence, in the event that, on the Substitution Date,
Lessor is obligated to pay a Cash Adjustment to Lessee and Lessor does not have
sufficient funds available, or elects not to make such payment in cash, Lessor
shall provide Lessee with (and Lessee shall accept) a purchase money note and
mortgage for a term not to exceed eighteen (18) months from the Substitution
Date and bearing interest, payable monthly, at a rate of interest equal to one
hundred ten percent (100%) of the applicable federal rate (determined at the
time of execution of such note pursuant to Section 1274 of the Code or any
successor section thereto), compounded semi-annually, or, if no such rate exists
or such rate is in excess of that permitted under applicable law, at the Prime
Rate, which interest shall be payable monthly in arrears.
25.3 CONVEYANCE TO LESSEE. If the Lessor shall have determined that the
Proposed Facility constitutes a Comparable Facility, on the Substitution Date,
after the consummation of a substitution in accordance with the terms hereof,
Lessor will convey the Leased Property to Lessee in accordance with the
provisions of Article 18 (except as to payment of any expenses in connection
therewith which shall be governed by Section 25.4 below) and this Lease shall
thereupon terminate as to the Leased Property. Upon completion of the purchase
of the Leased Property, no Rent shall thereafter accrue with respect thereto.
25.4 EXPENSES. Whether or not any proposed substitution is consummated,
Lessee shall pay all of the out-of-pocket expenses and other costs incurred or
expended by Lessor in connection with any proposed substitution (collectively
referred to herein as "Substitution Closing Costs"), including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, engineering costs,
consultants' fees, appraisal costs, audit and tax review costs, out-of-pocket
travel expenses, inspection fees, title insurance premiums and other title fees,
survey expenses, mortgage taxes, transfer, documentary stamp and other taxes,
search charges of any nature, recording, registration and filing costs, broker's
fees and commissions, if any, escrow fees, fees and expenses, if any, incurred
in qualifying Lessor and maintaining its right to do business in the state where
the Proposed Facility is located, the cost of obtaining, preparing and recording
a release of the Leased Property from the lien of any Fee Mortgage (other than
the amount necessary to payoff such Fee Mortgage) and any other costs expended
or incurred by Lessor in connection with the preparation for and the
documentation and/or the closing of the proposed substitution. The
<PAGE> 129
Substitution Closing Costs shall be a demand obligation of Lessee to Lessor and,
if not paid within ten (10) days after demand, shall thereafter (to the extent
permitted by applicable law) bear interest at the Overdue Rate until the date of
payment.

Developer to the Lessor and the Lessee, and the Developer shall also
deliver to the Lessor and the Lessee evidence satisfactory to the
Lessor, in its reasonable discretion, that all necessary Permits and/or
Contracts required by any Governmental Authority in connection
therewith have been obtained or entered into, as the case may be. The
Lessee acknowledges and agrees that the Developer may make any changes
in, and may permit the General Contractor and the Architect to make any
changes in, the quality of the materials for the Project, the Project
Plans or the Project Budget without the Lessee's consent provided that
(a) the Lessor's consent to any such change is not required hereunder
or (b) the Developer has obtained the Lessor's consent to any such
change.
6.4.3. PROJECT BUDGET.
Upon the request of the Lessor, the Developer shall furnish
the Lessor and the Lessee with revisions for the Project Budget to
reflect (a) any changes approved by the Lessor to the Project Budget,
(b) the total cost of the construction of the Project completed through
any specific date and (c) the remaining cost to complete the
construction of the Project in accordance with the Project Plans and
the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The Lessee acknowledges
that any such revisions to the Project Budget that are provided to it
pursuant to the terms hereof shall be furnished to the Lessee for
informational purposes only.
<PAGE> 20
6.4.4. ARCHITECT CERTIFICATES.
The Developer agrees to cause the Architect to furnish to the
Lessor and the Lessee such statements as to progress and certificates
of completion as the Lessor may reasonably require from time to time
during such period as this Agreement may be in effect, all without
expense to the Lessor or the Lessee. The Lessee acknowledges that any
such statements and certificates that are provided to it pursuant to
the terms hereof shall be furnished to the Lessee for informational
purposes only. The Developer agrees to cause the Architect to make the
Project Plans available to the Lessor without expense to the Lessor,
and to agree that, in the event that the Lessor shall take over the
Project by reason of an occurrence of an Event of Default, the Lessor
shall be entitled to use said Project Plans without any additional
compensation to the Architect above what is required (and was not
previously paid) under the Architect's Contract.
6.4.5. SUBCONTRACTORS.
Within sixty (60) days after the date of the execution of this
Agreement, the Developer agrees to provide the Lessor with a list of
the major subcontractors working on the Project, including an
identification by trade and the amount of each subcontract. The Lessor
reserves the right of reasonable approval of all subcontractors
(collectively, the "Major Subcontractors") under any subcontract the
aggregate amount due under which is equal to or greater than ONE
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($100,000). The Lessee acknowledges that the
Lessee shall have no rights of approval with respect to any
subcontractor. The Developer further agrees that the Developer shall
not permit any Major Subcontractors working on the Project to change
without the Lessor's prior written consent, in each instance, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
6.4.6. THE LESSOR'S CONSULTANT.
The Developer agrees to pay, from the Project Funds to be
advanced hereunder, the costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the
Lessor to retain the Consultants to perform various services to the
Lessor in connection with the construction of the Project and the
advances of Project Funds contemplated hereunder (or, to pay the Lessor
to perform the services that would otherwise be performed by the
Consultants), including, without limitation, the following:
A. to review and analyze the Project Plans and advise
the Lessor whether the same are satisfactory for the
intended purposes thereof;
<PAGE> 21
B. to make periodic inspections of the Leased Property
for the purpose of assuring that construction
performed in connection with the Project prior to the
date of such inspection has been completed in
accordance with the Project Plans and this Agreement;
C. to review the Developer's then current requisition to
determine whether it is consistent with the
obligations of the Developer under this Agreement,
and to advise the Lessor of the anticipated costs of,
and the time for, the completion of the Project in
accordance with the Project Plans, and the adequacy
of reserves and contingencies related thereto;
D. to review and analyze any proposed changes to the
Project Plans and advise the Lessor regarding the
same;
E. to review and analyze the Project Budget and advise
the Lessor as to the sufficiency thereof; and
F. to review and analyze the Architect's Contract,
Construction Contract and all subcontracts entered
into by the Developer or the General Contractor in
connection with the construction of the Project and
advise the Lessor regarding the same.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Developer
agrees promptly to make such changes or corrections, or to cause the
General Contractor to make such changes or corrections, in the
construction of the Project as may be required by the Lessor, based on
the recommendation of any of the Consultants, unless the Developer
demonstrates to the Lessor's satisfaction that such corrective work is
inconsistent with the Project Plans.
6.4.7. TITLE TO MATERIALS AND SECURITY INTEREST GRANTED
TO LESSOR.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Developer
shall not suffer or permit the use in connection with any construction
relating to the Project of any materials, fixtures or equipment
intended to become part of the Project which are purchased upon lease
or conditional bill of sale or to which the Developer does not have
absolute and unencumbered title. The Developer covenants to cause to be
paid punctually all sums becoming due for labor, materials, fixtures or
equipment used or purchased in connection with any such construction
and, in recognition of the fact that it is intended that the Project
Funds be used to pay for the cost of the construction of the Project on
behalf of the Lessor, the Developer agrees that title to all materials,
fixtures and equipment that are incorporated into the Improvements
shall automatically pass to the Lessor
<PAGE> 22
upon such incorporation without the need for the execution or delivery
of any further instrument of conveyance.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order to more fully secure
the Lessor with reference to all advances of Project Funds made
hereunder, the Developer hereby conveys to the Lessor a security
interest in all of the Developer's right, title and interest in
materials on the Leased Property which are not at any relevant time
incorporated into the Project and materials, wherever located, intended
for incorporation into the Project. The Developer agrees:
A. that the Lessor shall have all the
rights, with reference to such security, as a secured
party is entitled to hold with reference to any
security interest under the UCC;
B. that such security interest shall cover
cash and non-cash proceeds of such materials;
C. that such materials will not be held for
sale to others or disposed of by the Developer
without the prior written consent of the Lessor and,
if at any time located on the Leased Property shall
be suitably stored, secured and insured and
furthermore, shall not be removed from the Leased
Property; and
D. that such security interest shall be
prior to the rights of any other Person.
The undertakings of the Developer in this Section shall also
be applicable to any personal property owned by the Developer and used
(or to be used) in connection with the Project, whether or not the
purchase thereof was financed by advances of Project Funds made by the
Lessor.
The Developer agrees to execute such instruments as the Lessor
may from time to time request to perfect the security interest of the
Lessor in any and all rights under this Agreement and the other
Development Documents, and any and all property of the Developer which,
under applicable provisions of this Agreement and/or any of the other
Developer Documents, may or shall stand as security for advances of
Project Funds under this Agreement and for the complete payment and
performance of the Development Obligations.
<PAGE> 23
6.4.8. COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL REQUIREMENTS AND APPLICABLE
AGREEMENTS.
The Developer, the Lessee, the Project Plans and the Leased
Property and all uses thereof (including, without limitation, the
construction of the Project) shall comply with (a) all Legal
Requirements, (b) all Permits and Contracts, (c) all applicable
by-laws, codes, rules, regulations and restrictions of the Board of
Fire Underwriters or other insurance underwriters or similar body, (d)
the Development Documents and (e) the Lease Documents.
6.4.9. LIENS.
The Leased Property shall at all times be free from any
attachment, encumbrance, lis pendens, mechanic's or materialmen's lien
or notice arising from the furnishing of materials or labor and, with
the exception of the Permitted Encumbrances, all other Liens of any
kind, except to the extent that any such Liens are being duly contested
in accordance with the terms of the Facility Lease or the terms hereof.
The Developer shall not permit the recording of any notice of contract
or mechanic's or materialmen's lien relating to construction of the
Project. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
6.4.09, the existence of an attachment or lis pendens for a period not
in excess of thirty (30) days shall not be deemed to be a default
hereunder provided that (a) there shall be no cessation of construction
of the Project, (b) an Event of Default has not occurred and (c) the
Developer shall proceed promptly to cause such attachment or lis
pendens to be removed, but the Lessor shall not be obliged to make any
further advance under this Agreement while such attachment or lis
pendens remains outstanding, unless a bond, satisfactory to the Lessor,
has been posted as security for such attachment or lis pendens.
<PAGE> 24
6.4.10. BOOKS AND RECORDS.
The Developer shall cause to be kept and maintained, and shall
permit the Lessor and its representatives to inspect at all reasonable
times, accurate books of accounts in which complete entries will be
made in accordance with GAAP reflecting all financial transactions of
the Developer (showing, without limitation, all materials ordered and
received and all disbursements, accounts payable and accounts
receivable in connection with the construction of the Project of the
Leased Property). Such books and records must accurately reflect that
all funds advanced hereunder for construction of the Project have been
used solely for the payment of obligations and expenses properly
incurred in connection with said construction in accordance with the
terms of the Project Budget.
6.4.11. INSPECTION OF CONSTRUCTION.
The Lessor and its representatives including, without
limitation, the Consultants, shall, at all times as long as this
Agreement remains in effect, have the right to enter the Leased
Property, upon reasonable notice to the Developer and at reasonable
times (except in the event of an emergency) for the purpose of
inspecting the Project and the progress of the work and materials
thereon, and if any such inspection reveals that the Developer is not
in compliance herewith (in its sole and absolute discretion), then the
Lessor shall not be obligated to make any further advances under this
Agreement to the Developer.
6.4.12. NOTICE OF DELAY.
The Developer shall give to the Lessor and the Lessee prompt
written notice of any fire, explosion, accident, flood, storm,
earthquake or other casualty or strike, lock out, act of God or
interruption of the construction of the Project which is reasonably
anticipated to interfere with the ability of the Developer to complete
the Project by the Completion Date.
<PAGE> 25
6.14.13. BONDS.
Within thirty (30) days after the execution of this Agreement,
performance, payment and lien bonds, in form and substance and
guaranteed by sureties satisfactory to the Lessor (in its sole and
absolute discretion), shall be obtained by the Developer in connection
with the Construction Contract in an amount at least equivalent to the
contract sum due under the Construction Contract, naming the Lessor as
a dual obligee and shall be furnished to the Lessor.
6.14.14. USE OF PROJECT FUNDS.
The Developer shall utilize all advances by the Lessor
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement only for those items for which
requisitions are permitted under this Agreement or for reimbursement of
expenditures already made for items for which requisitions are so
permitted. The Developer agrees to hold all advances by the Lessor
hereunder as a trust fund for the purpose of payment of the costs and
expenses permitted under this Agreement.
6.4.15. OCCUPANCY OF THE PROJECT.
The Developer and the Lessee shall not permit any occupancy of
the Project (other than such occupancy as is required in connection
with the construction thereto) prior to (a) the substantial completion
of that portion of the Project being occupied and (b) the issuance by
the appropriate Governmental Authorities of a Certificate of Occupancy
(or its equivalent) permitting the occupancy of the Project for its
Primary Intended Use. The Project shall not be deemed to have been
completed unless and until constructed in accordance with this
Agreement and a Certificate of Occupancy (or its equivalent) permitting
the occupancy of the Project for its Primary Intended Use has been
issued by the applicable Governmental Authorities.
6.5 CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT.
The Construction Contract is binding upon the parties thereto in
accordance with the terms thereof and shall remain in full force and effect. All
of the parties to the Construction Contract shall faithfully perform all of
their obligations thereunder.

Funds, shall be sufficient to pay all of the aforesaid costs.

<PAGE> 31
7.4. ADVANCES BY WIRE TRANSFER.
All advances hereunder shall be made by wire transfer of funds into a
bank account maintained by either the Developer or an authorized agent of the
Developer.
7.5. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO ALL ADVANCES.
A. Advances hereunder shall be made solely for the payment of
the costs and expenses incurred by the Developer directly in
connection with the construction of the Project, consistent
with the Project Budget, which are required to be paid
out-of-pocket to all other Persons and no advances of Project
Funds may be used to refund any part of expenditures from the
Developer's own resources on the Project, except to the extent
that any Project Funds are used to reimburse the Developer for
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it in accordance with the
terms of the Project Budget. No funds advanced by the Lessor
shall be utilized for any purpose other than as specified
herein and none of the Project Funds shall be paid over to any
officer, partner, stockholder or employee of any member of the
Leasing Group or to any of the Persons collectively
constituting any member of the Leasing Group or those holding
a beneficial interest in any member of the Leasing Group, or
any employee thereof, except to the extent that Project Funds
are used to pay compensation to an employee for and with
respect to activity of such employee in construction of the
Project.
B. The amount of each requisition shall represent (i) the cost
of the work completed on the Project as of the date of such
requisition which has not been covered by prior requisitions,
(ii) the cost of all equipment, fixtures and furnishings
included within the Project Budget, but not incorporated into
any contract approved by the Lessor, which have been delivered
to the Leased Property for incorporation into the Project and
have not been covered by prior requisitions; provided, that,
in the Lessor's judgment, such materials are suitably stored,
secured and insured and that the Developer can furnish the
Lessor with evidence satisfactory to the Lessor of the
Developer's unencumbered title thereto and (iii) approved soft
costs, which have not been covered by prior requisitions.
C. All requisitions shall be subject to a ten percent (10%)
retainage for the completion of the Project. It is understood
that such retainage is intended to provide a contingency fund
to assure that the construction of the Project shall be fully
completed in accordance with the Project Plans and the terms
and provisions of this Agreement. All amounts so withheld
shall
<PAGE> 32
be disbursed after (i) construction of the Project has been
fully completed in accordance with the Project Plans and the
terms and provisions of this Agreement, (ii) all of the items
set forth in Section 7.6 hereof have been delivered to the
Lessor and (iii) the expiration of the period during which
liens may be perfected with respect to any work performed or
labor or materials supplied in connection with the
construction of the Project or the receipt of such evidence as
may be required to assure the Lessor that no claim may
thereafter arise with respect to any work performed or labor
or materials supplied in connection with the construction of
the Project.
D. At the time of each advance, no event which constitutes, or
which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, could
constitute, an Event of Default or a Lease Default shall have
occurred and be continuing.
E. Without at any time waiving any of the Lessor's rights
under this Agreement, the Lessor shall always have the right
to make an advance hereunder without satisfaction of each and
every condition upon the Lessor's obligation to make an
advance under this Agreement, and (i) the Developer and the
Lessee, as the case may be, agree to accept any advance which
the Lessor may elect to make under this Agreement and (ii) the
Lessee agrees to be liable for the payment of Rent regarding
all such sums as the Lessor may elect to advance under this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lessor shall
have the right, notwithstanding a waiver relative to the first
advance or any subsequent advance hereunder, to refuse to make
any and all subsequent advances under this Agreement until
each and every condition set forth in this Section has been
satisfied. The making of any advance hereunder shall not
constitute an approval or acceptance by the Lessor of any work
on the Project theretofore completed.
F. If, while this Agreement is in effect, a claim is made that
the Project does not comply with any Legal Requirement or an
action is instituted before any Governmental Authority with
jurisdiction over the Leased Property or the Developer in
which a claim is made as to whether the Project does so
comply, the Lessor shall have the right to defer any advance
of Project Funds which the Lessor would otherwise be obligated
to make until such time as any such claim is finally disposed
of favorably to the position of the Developer (or any other
member of the Leasing Group), without any obligation on the
part of the Lessor to make a determination of, or judgment on,
the merits of any such claim. For the purposes of the
foregoing sentence, the term "claim" shall mean an assertion
by any Governmental Authority or Person as to which, in each
case, the Lessor has made a good faith determination that the
assertion may properly be made by the party asserting the
same, that the assertion, on its face, is not without
foundation and that the interests of the Lessor require that
the assertion be
<PAGE> 33
treated as presenting a bona fide risk of liability or adverse
effect on the Project.
If any such proceeding is not favorably resolved within thirty
(30) days after the commencement thereof, the Lessor shall
also have the right, at its option, to treat the commencement
of such action as an Event of Default, for which the Lessor
shall have all rights herein specified for an Event of
Default. As aforesaid, the Lessor shall have no obligation to
make a determination with reference to the merits of any such
claim. No waiver of the foregoing right shall be implied from
any forbearance by the Lessor in making such election or any
continuation by the Lessor in making advances under this
Agreement.
In all events, the Developer agrees to notify the Lessor and
the Lessee forthwith upon learning of the assertion of any
such claim or the commencement of any such proceedings.
G. It is contemplated, except with respect to the Leasehold
Improvement Fee and advances made under Sections 6.1, 6.4.06,
8 and/or 11 hereof, that all advances of the Project Funds
will be made by the Lessor to the Developer pursuant to this
Agreement.
7.6. COMPLETION OF THE PROJECT.
Upon the completion of the construction of the Project in accordance
with the Project Plans and the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the
Developer shall provide the Lessor with (a) true, correct and complete copies of
(i) a final unconditional Certificate of Occupancy (or its equivalent) issued by
the appropriate Governmental Authorities, permitting the occupancy and use of
the Project for its Primary Intended Use and (ii) all Permits issued by the
appropriate Governmental Authorities which are necessary in order to operate the
Project as an adult care residence with eighty (80) licensed beds (located in
eighty (80) units), (b) a certification from the Architect or the Consultants
stating that the Project was completed in accordance with the Project Plans,
(c) an updated Survey of the Leased Property, acceptable to the Lessor (in its
sole and absolute discretion), (d) updated Opinions and (e) such other items
relating to the operation and/or construction of the Project as may be
reasonably requested by the Lessor.
<PAGE> 34
7.7. CONDITION OF THE PROJECT.
The Developer and the Lessee each acknowledge and agree that: (a) no
inspections or any approvals of the Project during or after construction shall
constitute a warranty or representation by the Lessor or any of the Consultants
as to the technical sufficiency, adequacy or safety of any structure or any of
its component parts, including, without limitation, any fixtures, equipment or
furnishings, or as to the subsoil conditions or any other physical condition or
feature pertaining to the Leased Property and (b) all acts, including any
failure to act, relating to the Leased Property by any agent, representative or
designee of the Lessor (including, without limitation, the Consultants) are
performed solely for the benefit of the Lessor to assure the payment and
performance of the Development Obligations and are not for the benefit of the
Lessee or the benefit of any other Person.
WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE LESSOR MAKES NO WARRANTY OR
REPRESENTATION TO THE LESSEE OR THE DEVELOPER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT
TO THE LEASED PROPERTY OR THE PROJECT, EITHER AS TO ITS FITNESS FOR ANY
PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE, ITS DESIGN OR CONDITION OR OTHERWISE, OR AS TO
DEFECTS IN THE QUALITY OF THE MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP NOW OR HEREAFTER, LATENT
OR PATENT; IT BEING AGREED BY AND BETWEEN THE LESSOR AND THE LESSEE, THAT ALL
RISKS RELATING TO THE DESIGN, CONDITION AND/OR USE OF THE LEASED PROPERTY AND
THE PROJECT ARE, AS BETWEEN THE LESSOR AND THE LESSEE, TO BE BORNE BY LESSEE. IN
ADDITION, AS BETWEEN THE LESSOR AND THE LESSEE, THE LESSEE HEREBY ASSUMES ALL
RISK OF THE PHYSICAL CONDITION OF THE LEASED PROPERTY AND THE PROJECT, THE
SUITABILITY OF THE LEASED PROPERTY AND THE PROJECT FOR LESSEE'S PURPOSES, AND
THE COMPLIANCE OR NON-COMPLIANCE OF THE LEASED PROPERTY AND THE PROJECT WITH ALL
APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS OF LAW, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS
AND ZONING OR LAND USE LAWS.
Nothing set forth in this Section 7.7 shall, however, limit in any
manner whatsoever (i) any of the Developer's obligations hereunder or any of the
other Development Documents, including, without limitation, the Developer's
obligations to construct the Project in accordance with the terms hereof and
(ii) any claims that the Lessor and/or the Lessee may now or hereafter have
against the Developer hereunder or at law or in equity as a result of any acts
or omissions by the Developer.
<PAGE> 35
8. THE LESSOR'S RIGHT TO MAKE PAYMENTS AND TAKE OTHER ACTION
The Developer and the Lessee acknowledge and agree that the Lessor may,
after ten (10) Business Days' prior notice to the Developer and Lessee of its
intention so to do (except in an emergency when such shorter notice shall be
given as is reasonable under the circumstances), pay any sums due or claimed to
be due for labor or materials furnished in connection with the ownership,
construction, development, maintenance, management, repair, use or operation of
the Leased Property, and any other sums which in the reasonable opinion of the
Lessor, or its attorneys, it is expedient to pay, and may take such other and
further action which in the reasonable opinion of the Lessor is necessary in
order to secure (A) the completion of the Project in accordance with the Project
Plans and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (B) the protection and
priority of the security interests granted to the Lessor pursuant to the Lease
Documents and the Development Documents and (C) the performance of all
obligations under the Lease Documents and the Development Documents. The Lessor,
in its sole and absolute discretion, may charge any such payments against any
advance that may otherwise be due hereunder to the Developer or may otherwise
collect such amounts from the Developer, and the Lessee agrees to be liable for
the payment of Rent regarding all such amounts advanced hereunder,
notwithstanding that the aggregate amount that may be advanced hereunder may
exceed the aggregate amount the Lessor has agreed to advance hereunder as the
Project Funds. Any amount which is not so charged against advances due hereunder
and all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Lessor in connection
therewith (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses and court
costs) shall be a demand obligation of the Developer and, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, shall be added to the Development Obligations and
secured by the Liens created by the Development Documents, as fully and
effectively and with the same priority as every other obligation of the
Developer thereunder and, if not paid within ten (10) days after demand, shall
thereafter, to the extent permitted under applicable law, bear interest at the
Overdue Rate until the date of payment.
If the Developer fails to observe or cause to be observed any of the
provisions of this Agreement and such failure continues beyond any applicable
notice or cure period provided for under this Agreement, the Lessor or a
lawfully appointed receiver of the Leased Property, at their respective options,
from time to time may perform, or cause to be performed, any and all repairs and
such other work as they deem necessary to bring the Leased Property into
compliance with the provisions of this Agreement and may enter upon the Leased
Property for any of the foregoing purposes, and the Lessee hereby waives any
claim against the Lessor or such receiver arising out of such entry or out of
any other act carried out pursuant to this Section. All amounts so expended or
incurred by the Lessor and by such receiver and all costs and expenses
reasonably incurred in connection therewith (including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees and expenses and court costs),
<PAGE> 36
shall be, at the option of the Lessor, which may be exercised from time to time
(i) a demand obligation of the Developer to the Lessor or such receiver, and, to
the extent permitted by law, shall be added to the Development Obligations and
shall be secured by the Liens created by the Development Documents as fully and
effectively and with the same priority as every other obligation of the Lessee
secured thereunder and, if not paid within ten (10) days after demand, shall
thereafter, to the extent permitted by applicable law, bear interest at the
Overdue Rate until the date of payment or (ii) may be advanced hereunder (even
if the aggregate amount of such sums so advanced and all amounts previously
advanced hereunder exceed the amount of the Project Funds which the Lessor has
agreed to advance hereunder) and the Lessee agrees to pay to the Lessor Rent
under the Facility Lease, calculated, in part, thereunder based upon all sums
advanced hereunder.
9. INSURANCE; CASUALTY; TAKING
9.1. GENERAL INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS.
The Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall keep the Leased
Property and the business operations conducted thereon insured as required under
the Facility Lease.
9.2. FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY OR CONDEMNATION.
In the event of any damage or destruction to the Leased Property by
reason of fire or other hazard or casualty (a "Casualty") or a taking by power
of eminent domain or conveyance in lieu thereof of all or any portion of the
Leased Property (a "Condemnation"), the Developer shall give immediate written
notice thereof to the Lessor and the Lessee and the Lessee and the Developer
shall comply with the provisions of the Facility Lease governing Casualties and
Condemnations, mutatis, mutandis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event
shall the Completion Date be extended as a result of any Casualty or
Condemnation.
10. EVENTS OF DEFAULT
Each of the following shall constitute an "Event of Default" hereunder
and shall entitle the Lessor to exercise its remedies hereunder and under any of
the other Development Documents and/or Lease Documents:
A. any failure of the Developer to pay any amount due
hereunder or under any of the other Development Documents or
any failure of the Lessee to pay any amount due under any of
the Lease Documents within ten (10) days following the date
when such payment was due;
<PAGE> 37
B. any failure in the observance or performance of any other
covenant, term, condition or warranty provided in this
Agreement, any of the other Development Documents or any of
the Lease Documents, other than the payment of any monetary
obligation and other than as specified in subsections (C)
through (G) below (referred to herein as a "Failure to
Perform"), continuing for thirty (30) days after the giving of
notice by the Lessor to the Developer and/or the Lessee, as
the case may be, specifying the nature of the Failure to
Perform; except as to matters not susceptible to cure within
thirty (30) days, provided that with respect to such matters,
(I) the Developer and/or the Lessee, as the case may be,
commences the cure thereof within thirty (30) days after the
giving of such notice by the Lessor to the Developer and/or
the Lessee, as the case may be, (II) the Developer and/or the
Lessee, as the case may be, continuously prosecutes such cure
to completion, (III) such cure is completed within ninety (90)
days after the giving of such notice by the Lessor to the
Developer and/or the Lessee, as the case may be, and (IV) such
Failure to Perform does not impair the Lessor's rights with
respect to the Leased Property or otherwise impair any of the
Collateral or the Lessor's security interest therein;
C. the occurrence of any default or breach of condition
continuing beyond the expiration of the applicable notice and
grace periods, if any, under any of the Development Documents
or any of the Lease Documents;
D. if any representation, warranty or statement contained
herein proves to be untrue in any material respect as of the
date when made or at any time during the Term if such
representation or warranty, other than those contained in
Sections 5.2, 5.5 and in the third sentence of Section 5.6, is
a continuing representation or warranty pursuant to Section
6.3;
E. without limiting any of the terms of the other Development
Documents or the Lease Documents, if any representation,
warranty or statement contained in Section 5.2, 5.5 or in the
third sentence of Section 5.6 proves to be untrue in any
material respect at any time during the Term after the date
when made, beyond the notice and grace periods set forth in
Section 10(B);
F. except as a result of any Casualty or a partial or complete
Condemnation, if a suspension of any work in connection with
the construction of the Project occurs for a period in excess
of ten (10) Business Days, irrespective of the cause thereof,
provided that the Developer shall not be deemed to be in
default under this Subsection if such suspension is for
circumstances not reasonably within its control, but only if
the Lessor, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall
determine that such suspension shall not create any risk that
the construction of the Project will not be completed (in
<PAGE> 38
accordance with the Project Plans and the terms and conditions
of this Agreement) on or before the Completion Date; and
G. if construction of the Project shall not be completed in
accordance with the Project Plans and this Agreement
(including, without limitation, satisfaction of the conditions
set forth in Section 7.6) on or before the Completion Date.
11. REMEDIES IN EVENT OF DEFAULT
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, at the option of the
Lessor, which may be exercised at any time after an Event of Default shall have
occurred, the Lessor shall have all rights and remedies available to it, at law
or in equity, including, without limitation, all of the rights and remedies
under the Development Documents and the Lease Documents. Subject to the
requirements of applicable law, all materials at that time on or near the Leased
Property which are the property of the Developer and which are to be used in
connection with the completion of the Project shall be subject to the Liens
created by the Development Documents.
In addition to, and without limitation of, the foregoing, the Lessor is
authorized, at the Lessor's option, which may be exercised from time to time,
(a) to offset all amounts expended hereunder by the Lessor to complete the
construction of the Project and/or exercise any of its other remedies hereunder
against any portion of the Development Fee due hereunder and (b) to charge all
money expended for completion of the Project against sums hereunder which have
not already been advanced (even if the aggregate amount of such sums expended
and all amounts previously advanced hereunder exceed the amount of the Project
Funds which the Lessor has agreed to advance hereunder); and the Lessee agrees
to pay to the Lessor Rent under the Facility Lease, calculated, in part,
thereunder based upon all sums advanced hereunder (including, without
limitation, all sums expended in good faith by the Lessor in connection with the
completion of the Project), and, in addition thereto, the Lessee agrees to pay
to the Lessor (as Rent under the Facility Lease), for services in connection
with said completion of the Project, such additional sums as shall compensate
the Lessor for the time and effort the Lessor and its employees shall have
expended in connection therewith. The Lessor is authorized, but not obligated in
any event, to do all such things in connection with the construction of the
Project as the Lessor, in its sole and absolute discretion, may deem advisable,
including, without limitation, the right to make any payments with respect to
any obligation of the Developer to the Lessor or to any other Person in
connection with the completion of construction of the Project and to make
additions and changes in the Project Plans to employ contractors, subcontractors
and agents and to take any and all such action, either in the Lessor's own name
or in the name of the Developer, and the Developer hereby grants the Lessor an
irrevocable power of attorney to act in its name in connection with the
foregoing. This power of attorney, being coupled with an interest, shall be
irrevocable until all of the
<PAGE> 39
Development Obligations are fully paid and performed and shall not be affected
by any disability or incapacity which the Developer may suffer and shall survive
the same. The power of attorney conferred on the Lessor by the provisions of
this Section 11 is provided solely to protect the interests of the Lessor and
shall not impose any duty on the Lessor to exercise any such power and neither
the Lessor nor such attorney-in-fact shall be liable for any act, omission,
error in judgment or mistake of law, except as the same may result from its
gross negligence or wilful misconduct. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lessee
and the Developer acknowledge and agree that, in the event that the Lessor takes
possession of the Leased Property and assumes control of the Project as
aforesaid, the Lessor shall not be obligated to continue the construction of the
Project for any period of time longer than the Lessor shall see fit (in its sole
and absolute discretion), and the Lessor may thereafter, at any time, abandon
its efforts and refuse to make further payments for the account of the Project,
whether or not the Project has been completed.
In addition, at the Lessor's option and without demand, notice or
protest, the occurrence of any Event of Default shall also constitute a default
under any one or more of the Related Party Agreements.
12. GENERAL
The provisions set forth in Articles 22 and 23 and Sections 2.2, 16.8
through 16.10, 24.2 through 24.6, and 24.8 through 24.12 of the Facility Lease
are hereby incorporated herein by reference, mutatis, mutandis, and shall be
applicable to this Agreement as if set forth in full herein.
13. TERM
This Agreement shall remain in force and effect until such time as the
Project is constructed in accordance with the terms hereof and, without limiting
the foregoing, the obligations set forth under Section 7.6 have been satisfied.
The period from the date hereof until such time as the construction of the
Project shall have been completed as aforesaid shall be referred to herein as
the "Term."

of that which may be lawfully paid by the Lessee.

or officers of the Lessee or the shareholders, directors or officers of the
Parent ever be personally liable to BCC or any affiliate of BCC or any third
party for the payment and/or performance of any obligations or liabilities under

the interest on, the Notes at the time outstanding, and all

to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the same shall

any agent or representative of BCC at such place or places as BCC may designate.
(d) COLLATERAL PLACEMENT. BCC may, at the expense of the

and BCC shall not be liable to the Lessee on account of any loss, damage or
depreciation that may occur as a result thereof.
(e) USE OF PREMISES. BCC may, without payment of any rent
or any other charge, enter the Property and, without breach of peace, until BCC
completes the enforcement of its rights in the collateral, take possession of
the Property or place custodians in exclusive control thereof, remain on such
premises and use the same and any of the Lessee's equipment, for the purpose of
(i) operating the Project and (ii) collecting any accounts receivable.
(f) OTHER RIGHTS. BCC may exercise any and all of its
rights and remedies available under the other Transaction Documents, as well as
those available in law or in equity.

part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale at any location
chosen by BCC, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and at such price or
prices and upon such other terms as BCC may deem commercially reasonable. The
Lessee agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at
least 20 days notice to the Lessee of the time and place of any public sale or
the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable
notification, but notice given in any other reasonable manner or at any other

at a rate per annum equal to the highest rate then payable hereunder.
SECTION 6.03 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS CONCERNING REMEDIES.
(a) RIGHTS CUMULATIVE. The rights and remedies of BCC under
this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents shall be cumulative
and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which it would otherwise have. In
exercising its rights and remedies BCC may be selective and no failure or delay
by BCC in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of it, nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude its other or further
exercise of any other power or right.

to require any marshalling of assets and any similar right.

BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST THE LESSEE OR ITS PROPERTY IN THE COURTS
OF OTHER JURISDICTIONS.
SECTION 8.06 PERFORMANCE OF LESSEE'S DUTIES. The Lessee's
obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it

-------------------------------------------
(____________)
THIS AGREEMENT is made as of the 30th day of June, 1998, by and among
BALANCED CARE CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, with a principal place of
business at 5021 Louise Drive, Suite 200, Mechanicsburg, PA 17055 ("BCC"), TC
REALTY OF ____________, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Lessee"), TC REALTY
HOLDING COMPANY, a Delaware corporation (the "Pledgor"), both the Lessee and
Pledgor with their principal place of business at 3801 PGA Boulevard, Suite
1000, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida 33410, and MEDITRUST COMPANY LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company, with a principal place of business at 197 First
Avenue, Needham Heights, Massachusetts (the "Lessor").
W I T N E S S E T H:
--------------------
WHEREAS, the Lessor and the Lessee have agreed to enter into that
certain Facility Lease Agreement, of even date herewith, relating to certain
premises located in _____________________________ (the "Lease") and all
capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the
same meanings as ascribed to such terms in the Lease; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Note, the Lessor has agreed to
advance to the Pledgor funds to be used by the Pledgor as equity contributions
to the Lessee, so that the Lessee may use such funds for certain working capital
obligations, as more particularly set forth in the Note, and the maximum
aggregate amount of such funds to be advanced under the Note shall equal the
Working Capital Reserve; and
WHEREAS, because the Lessee shall receive a direct benefit from the
advances made under the Note (which shall be deemed to be equity contributions
to the Lessee), the Lessee has executed and delivered to the Lessor a guaranty
of even date, guarantying the obligations of the Pledgor under the Note (the
"Lessee's Guaranty");
WHEREAS, as additional security for the Lease Obligations, the Lessor
has requested the execution and delivery of this Agreement.
NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration paid by each of the
parties hereto to the other, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged and in consideration of the covenants and agreements set forth
herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
<PAGE> 2
1. Subject to the terms of Sections 5 and 6 hereof, from the date
hereof until the complete payment and performance of the Lease Obligations, BCC
unconditionally agrees to pay to the Lessee, on a monthly basis, sufficient
funds, by means of working capital loans (collectively, the "Working Capital
Loans"), to pay and satisfy the amount by which the Lessee's cash requirements
to meet its obligations (including, without limitation, operating expenses, debt
service and the Lease Obligations) due and payable during any month and the
obligations of the Pledgor under the Note due and payable during such month
exceed the Gross Revenues received by the Lessee during such month (the
"Shortfall"). Without limiting the foregoing, BCC hereby acknowledges and agrees
that it shall advance the Working Capital Loans as required hereunder
notwithstanding any default, breach of condition or failure to satisfy any
condition under the Shortfall Agreement and/or any of the other Working Capital
Loan Documents. It is further acknowledged and agreed that the term Lease
Obligations includes, together with all other obligations set forth in the
definition thereof in the Lease, all of the Lessee's obligations under the
Lessee's Guaranty and the First Leasehold Mortgage and the Pledgor's obligations
under the Note.
2. The Working Capital Loans shall be completely subordinate to the
Lease Obligations pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain
Subordination and Standstill Agreement of even date by and between the Lessor
and BCC.
3. Subject to the terms of Sections 5 and 6 hereof, but without regard
to any default, breach of condition or failure to satisfy any condition under
the Shortfall Agreement and/or any of the other Working Capital Loan Documents,
BCC shall, without further direction, advance to the Lessee, each month, the
amount equal to the Shortfall in a timely fashion so that the Lessee is able to
meet all of its working capital obligations (including, without limitation, the
Lease Obligations) when due and so that the payments due under the Note are made
in a timely fashion. Such portion of the funds advanced under the Shortfall
Agreement that are advanced to satisfy the Pledgor's obligations under the Note
shall be advanced directly to the Lessor to satisfy the Pledgor's obligations
under the Note and shall be deemed to be payments made by the Lessee under the
Lessee's Guaranty. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth under the
Shortfall Agreement and/or any of the other Working Capital Loan Documents, BCC
and Balanced Care at Chesterfield, Inc. (the "Manager") each hereby waive all
rights of subrogation they may have against Bruce A. Rendina (the "Shareholder")
at law or in equity as a consequence of any payment by BCC or the Manager of (A)
its obligations hereunder or under the Shortfall Agreement, (B) the Pledgor's
obligations under the Note, (C) the Lessee's obligations under the Lessee's
Guaranty or (D) any other obligations under any of the Lease Documents or the
Working Capital Loan Documents.
4. BCC acknowledges that the covenants and agreements made hereunder by
BCC are being made to (a) induce the Lessor to enter into and accept the Lease
and the other Lease Documents, (b) induce the Lessor to accept the Note from the
Pledgor and the Lessee's Guaranty and the First Leasehold Mortgage from the
Lessee and to lend to the Pledgor the sums to be advanced under the Note in
accordance with the terms thereof, and (c) enable the Pledgor to make equity
contributions to the Lessee (up to the original
<PAGE> 3
principal amount of the Note) to enable the Lessee, upon the complete
disbursement of the original principal amount of the Note (which amount shall
equal the Working Capital Reserve) and upon receipt of the corresponding equity
contributions to be made by the Pledgor to the Lessee, to fulfill the Lessee's
working capital obligations, including, without limitation, the Lease
Obligations and (d) induce the Shareholder to execute and deliver a Demand
Promissory Note, of even date herewith, in the original principal amount of
______________________________________________ DOLLARS ($__________) to the
Lessor. Accordingly, it is expressly intended by BCC that the covenants and
agreements by BCC hereunder may be relied upon and enforced by the Lessor, the
Lessee, the Pledgor and the Shareholder.
Furthermore, BCC agrees to pay to the Lessor forthwith upon demand, in
funds immediately available to the Lessor, all costs and expenses, including,
without limitation, court costs and attorneys' fees and expenses, reasonably
incurred or expended by the Lessor in connection with the collection or
enforcement of the obligations hereunder. Any amounts owed to the Lessor under
this Section 4 shall be a demand obligation and, if not paid within ten (10)
days after demand, shall thereafter, to the extent then permitted by applicable
law, bear interest at the Overdue Rate until the date of payment. The provisions
of this Section 4 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the
Agreement.
5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, BCC's
obligations to provide the Working Capital Loans to the Lessee and advance to
the Lessee the Shortfall each month shall not commence until such time as BCC
has received written confirmation from the Lessor that the Lessor has advanced
the original principal amount of the Note (which amount shall equal the Working
Capital Reserve) in accordance with the terms of the Note.
6. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in the
event of (a) the occurrence of a Lease Default and/or (b) a termination of the
Lease as a result of the exercise by the Lessor of any of its rights and/or
remedies thereunder, upon written notice from the Lessor, BCC shall without
further direction advance to the Lessor, each month, the amount equal to the
Rental Shortfall (as hereinafter defined) in a timely fashion until the
expiration of the Fixed Term or, if the Lessee had exercised its option to
extend the Lease, the expiration of the Extended Term in effect as of the date
of the termination of the Lease. In the event of any such termination of the
Lease, the Lessor agrees that it shall use its best efforts to relet the Leased
Property, so as to mitigate the amount due and payable under this Section 6 by
BCC.
As used herein, the term "Rental Shortfall" shall mean the difference,
if positive, between (i) the sum of the Rent that would have otherwise been due
under the Lease plus the amounts payable under the Note minus (ii) the aggregate
rent due under the leases affecting the Leased Property and any damages or other
payments (other than any reimbursement for expenses incurred by the Lessor)
received by the Lessor from the Lessee or any endorser, surety or guarantor of
the Lease Obligations as a result of the termination of the Lease.
<PAGE> 4
7. The obligations of BCC hereunder shall not be affected by the
termination, discontinuance, release or modification of any agreement from (a)
any endorser, surety or guarantor of the Lease Obligations and/or (b) any other
endorser, surety or guarantor of any of the other Obligations; provided,
however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, as long as no Lease Default has
occurred, nor any event which, with notice and/or the passage of time could
constitute a Lease Default, the Lessor hereby covenants and agrees with BCC that
the Lessor shall not amend any of the Lease Documents without BCC's prior
written consent, in each instance, which consent, shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed. Nothing contained herein or otherwise shall
require the Lessor to make demand upon or join the Lessee or any such endorser,
surety or guarantor or other party in any suit brought upon this Agreement; and
subject to the terms of Section 5 hereof, BCC hereby waives any right to require
marshalling or exhaustion of any remedy against any collateral, other property,
or any other Person primarily or secondarily liable for the Lease Obligations.
In addition, the Lessor hereby covenants and agrees with BCC that,
except in connection with the exercise of any of its rights and/or remedies
under the Lease Documents, as long as no Lease Default has occurred, nor any
event which, with notice and/or the passage of time could constitute a Lease
Default, the Lessor shall not terminate the Lease without the prior written
consent of BCC, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed.
8. The Lessor shall be at liberty, without giving notice to or
obtaining the assent of BCC and without relieving BCC of any liability
hereunder, to deal with the Lessee and with each other Person who now is or
after the date hereof becomes liable in any manner for any of the Obligations in
such manner as the Lessor, in its reasonable discretion, deems fit. The Lessor
and the other Meditrust Entities have full authority (in their reasonable
discretion) to do any or all of the following things, none of which shall
discharge or affect BCC's liability hereunder:
(a) extend credit, make loans and afford other financial accommodations
to the Lessee, any other member of the Leasing Group and/or any of the Related
Parties at such times, in such amounts and on such terms as the Lessor may
approve;
(b) modify, amend, vary the terms and grant extensions or renewals of
any present or future indebtedness or of any of the Obligations or any
instrument relating to or securing the same;
(c) grant time, waivers and other indulgences in respect of any of the
Obligations;
(d) vary, exchange, release or discharge, wholly or partially, or delay
or abstain from perfecting and enforcing any security or guaranty or other means
of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations which the Lessor or any of the
other Meditrust Entities now has or acquires after the date hereof;
<PAGE> 5
(e) take or omit to take any of the actions referred to in any
instrument evidencing, securing or relating to any of the Obligations or any
actions under this Agreement;
(f) fail, omit or delay to enforce, assert or exercise any right, power
or remedy conferred on the Lessor or any of the other Meditrust Entities in any
instrument evidencing, securing or relating to any of the Obligations or take or
refrain from taking any other action;
(g) accept partial payments from the Lessee, any other member of the
Leasing Group, any of the Related Parties or any other Person;
(h) release or discharge, wholly or partially, the Lessee, any other
member of the Leasing Group, any of the Related Parties and/or any other Person
now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for the Obligations (or any
portion thereof) or accept additional collateral for the payment of any
Obligations;
(i) compromise or make any settlement or other arrangement with the
Lessee, any other member of the Leasing Group, any of the Related Parties or any
other Person referred to in clause (h) above; and
(j) consent to and participate in the proceeds of any assignment, trust
or mortgage for the benefit of creditors;
provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, as long as the Lessee is
not an Affiliate of BCC, the Lessor and the Meditrust Entities shall not elect
to take any of the actions described in clauses (b), (g), (h) and/or (i) above
without the prior consent of BCC, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed.
9. The obligations of BCC hereunder shall not be affected by any change
in the beneficial ownership of the Lessee, any other member of the Leasing Group
or any of the Related Parties or by reason of any disability of the Lessee, any
other member of the Leasing Group, or any Related Party. This Agreement shall be
in addition to any guaranty or other security for the Obligations, and it shall
not be prejudiced or rendered unenforceable by the invalidity of any such
guaranty or security. This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be
reinstated, as the case may be, if, at any time, any payment of the Obligations
is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Lessor or any of the other
Meditrust Entities, upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the
Lessee, any other member of the Leasing Group or any of the Related Parties or
otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. BCC covenants to take
no action of any kind which might be the basis for a claim that BCC has any
defense hereunder other than the complete payment of the Shortfall or the Rent
Shortfall, as the case may be.
10. In order to induce the Lessor to enter into or accept this
Agreement, BCC hereby warrants and represents to, and covenants and agrees with,
the Lessor that:
<PAGE> 6
10.1. FORMATION AND AUTHORITY OF BCC.
(a) BCC is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of Delaware. BCC has all requisite corporate power to
own and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now conducted and
as proposed to be conducted and is duly qualified to do business and is in good
standing in each jurisdiction where such qualification is necessary or desirable
in order to carry out its business as now conducted and as proposed to be
conducted;
(b) BCC is duly authorized to make and enter into this Agreement and
all of the other Working Capital Loan Documents to which BCC is a party and to
carry out the transactions contemplated therein. This Agreement and all of the
other Working Capital Loan Documents to which BCC is a party have each been duly
executed and delivered by BCC, and each is a legal, valid and binding obligation
of BCC, enforceable in accordance with its terms;
10.2. NO VIOLATIONS.
The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other
Working Capital Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions thereby
contemplated shall not result in any breach of, or constitute a default under,
or result in the acceleration of, or constitute an event which, with notice or
passage of time could result in default or acceleration of any obligation of BCC
or any other contract, mortgage, lien, lease, agreement, instrument, franchise,
arbitration award, judgment, decree, bank loan or credit agreement, trust
indenture or other instrument to which BCC is a party or by which BCC may be
bound or affected and do not violate or contravene any Legal Requirement;
10.3. NO CONSENT OR APPROVAL.
Except as already obtained or filed, as the case may be, no consent or
approval or other authorization of, or exemption by, or declaration or filing
with, any Person and no waiver of any right by any Person is required to
authorize or permit, or is otherwise required as a condition to BCC's execution
and delivery of this Agreement or any of the other Working Capital Loan
Documents to which it is a party and the performance of its obligations
thereunder, or as a condition to the validity (assuming the due authorization,
execution and delivery by all of the other parties to this Agreement and the
other Working Capital Loan Documents) or enforceability of any of the same;
10.4. FINANCIAL CONDITION.
(a) BCC is financially solvent and there are no actions, suits,
investigations or proceedings including, without limitation, outstanding federal
or state tax liens, garnishments or insolvency and bankruptcy proceedings,
pending or, to the best of BCC's knowledge and belief, threatened:
<PAGE> 7
i. against or affecting BCC which, if adversely resolved
against BCC would materially adversely affect the ability of BCC to
perform its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other
Working Capital Loan Documents to which it is a party; or
ii. which may involve or affect the validity, priority or
enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Working Capital
Loan Documents, at law or in equity, or before or by any arbitrator or
Governmental Authority;
(b) After giving effect to the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the other Working Capital Loan Documents,
BCC:
i. will be able to pay its debts as they become due;
ii. will have sufficient funds and capital to carry on its
business as now conducted or as contemplated to be conducted (in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement);
iii. will own property having a value both at fair valuation
and at present fair saleable value greater than the amount required to
pay its debts as they become due; and
iv. will not be rendered insolvent as determined by applicable
law;
(c) BCC is not a party to any agreement, the terms of which now have
or, based upon current circumstances, as far as can be reasonably foreseen, may
have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or business;
(d) BCC is not delinquent or claimed to be delinquent under any
material obligation for the payment of borrowed money;
10.5. COMMERCIAL ACTS.
BCC's performance of and compliance with the obligations and conditions
set forth herein and the other Working Capital Loan Documents to which it is a
party will constitute commercial acts done and performed for commercial
purposes;
<PAGE> 8
10.6. FILING OF TAX RETURNS.
BCC has filed all federal, state and local tax returns which are
required to be filed as to which extensions are not currently in effect and has
paid all taxes, assessments, impositions, fees and other governmental charges
(including interest and penalties) which have become due pursuant to such
returns or pursuant to any assessment or notice of tax claim or deficiency
received by BCC. No tax liability has been asserted by the Internal Revenue
Service against BCC or any other federal, state or local taxing authority for
taxes, assessments, impositions, fees or other governmental charges (including
interest or penalties thereon) in excess of those already paid; and
10.7. ACCURACY OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OTHER INFORMATION.
The financial statements of BCC given to the Lessor in connection with
the consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement were true,
complete and accurate and fairly presented the financial condition of BCC as of
the date thereof and for the periods covered thereby, having been prepared in
accordance with GAAP and such financial statements disclosed all material
liabilities, including, without limitation, contingent liabilities, of BCC.
There has been no material adverse change since such date with respect to the
Tangible Net Worth or liquidity of BCC or with respect to any other matters
referred to or contained therein and no additional material liabilities,
including, without limitation, contingent liabilities of BCC have arisen or been
incurred since such date. The projections heretofore delivered to the Lessor
continue to be reasonable (with respect to the material assumptions upon which
such projections are based) and BCC reasonably anticipates the results projected
therein will be achieved, there having been (a) no material adverse change in
the business, assets or condition, financial or otherwise of BCC or (b) no
material depletion of BCC's cash or decrease in working capital.
10.8. WORKING CAPITAL LOAN DOCUMENTS.
True and correct copies of the Working Capital Loan Agreement and the
other Working Capital Loan Documents have been delivered to Lessor and the
transaction contemplated by the Working Capital Loan Documents has closed in
accordance with the terms thereof and in compliance with all applicable Legal
Requirements. Attached hereto as EXHIBIT A is a true and correct list of all of
the Working Capital Loan Documents. There are no agreements in force and effect
between Lessee and BCC or any Affiliate of BCC, other than (i) the Leasehold
Improvement Agreement, (ii) the Affiliated Party Subordination Agreement, (iii)
the Current Management Agreement and (iv) the Working Capital Loan Documents.
BCC shall not terminate, amend, abridge, modify or otherwise limit any of the
Working Capital Loan Documents without the prior written consent of the Lessor,
in each instance, which consent may be withheld in the Lessor's sole and
absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after the date
hereof, BCC shall not enter into, nor permit any of its Subsidiaries to enter
into, any contractual arrangement with the Lessee without the prior written
consent of the Lessor, in each instance, which consent may be withheld in the
Lessor's sole and absolute discretion.
<PAGE> 9
10.9. FINANCIAL COVENANTS.
BCC shall maintain, at all times, a ratio of Consolidated Current
Assets to Consolidated Current Liabilities equal to or greater than 1 to 1. In
addition, BCC shall maintain a Tangible Net Worth equal to or greater than (a)
SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($750,000) from July 1, 1997 through June
30, 1998 and (b) ONE MILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000) from July 1, 1998 through the
end of the Term.
10.10. NON-COMPETITION.
BCC acknowledges and agrees that BCC, the Current Manager and the
Developer are members of the Leasing Group and, as such, the terms of Section
11.5.4 of the Lease shall apply to each of the foregoing parties and any Person
holding or controlling, directly or indirectly, any interest in any of the
foregoing parties. Accordingly the terms of Section 11.5.4 of the Lease are
hereby incorporated herein by reference, mutatis, mutandis. The provisions of
this Section 10.10 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this
Agreement and/or the Lease.
11. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement
shall constitute continuing representations and warranties which shall remain
true, correct and complete as long as this Agreement is in force and effect.
Notwithstanding the provisions of the foregoing sentence but without derogation
from any other terms and provisions of this Agreement, including, without
limitation, those terms and provisions containing covenants to be performed or
conditions to be satisfied on the part of BCC, the representations and
warranties contained in Sections 10.4(a), 10.4(c), 10.4(d), in the second
sentence of Section 10.6 and in the second and third sentences of Section 10.7
hereof shall not constitute continuing representations and warranties hereunder.
12. Without limiting BCC's obligations to provide the Working Capital
Loans, upon the occurrence of any default under any of the Lease Documents, BCC
shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such default within any
applicable notice and grace periods and, to the extent permitted by law, enter
upon the Leased Property, if necessary, for such purpose and take all such
actions as BCC may deem necessary or appropriate to remedy such default. The
Lessor agrees to give written notice to BCC simultaneous with the provision by
the Lessor of any notice to the Lessee (or any other member of the Leasing
Group) relating to any such default. The Lessor agrees to accept any remedy
performed by BCC as if the same had been performed by the Lessee, but,
nevertheless, reserves the right to determine whether any remedy performed by
BCC cures any such default to the Lessor's satisfaction.
13. Subject to the provisions of Section 5 hereof, no set-off,
counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any obligation, or any claim or defense
of any kind or nature which BCC has or may have against the Lessee, any other
member of the Leasing Group, any of the Related Parties or the Lessor shall be
available hereunder to BCC. Subject to the terms of the Working Capital
Assurance Documents, BCC shall not assert and hereby
<PAGE> 10
waives any right whatsoever that BCC may have at law or in equity, including,
without limitation, any right of subrogation or to seek contribution,
indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from the Lessee, any other
endorser, surety or guarantor of any of the Obligations or any other Person now
or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any of the Obligations.
14. Any notice, request, demand, statement or consent made hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given if personally delivered, sent
by certified mail, return receipt requested, or sent by a nationally recognized
commercial overnight delivery service with provisions for a receipt, postage or
delivery charges prepaid, and shall be deemed given when postmarked or placed in
the possession of such mail or delivery service and addressed as follows:

given to BCC or the Lessee by the Lessor at any time shall not imply that such
notice or any further or similar notice was or is required.
15. This Agreement shall be construed, and the rights and obligations
of the Lessor, the Lessee and BCC shall be determined, in accordance with the
laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any of the
Working Capital Loan Documents, BCC and the Lessee each hereby consents to
personal jurisdiction in the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the
United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts as well as to the
jurisdiction of all courts from which an appeal may be taken from the aforesaid
courts, for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of
or with respect to this Agreement, any of the other Working Capital Assurance
Documents and/or any of the other Working Capital Loan Documents, the
negotiation and/or consummation of the transactions evidenced by this Agreement,
the other Working Capital Assurance Documents and the other Working Capital Loan
Documents and/or the performance of any obligation or the exercise of any remedy
under this Agreement, any of the other Working Capital Assurance Documents
and/or any of the other Working Capital Loan Documents and BCC and the Lessee
each expressly waives any and all objections it may have as to venue in any of
such courts.
16. The provisions of Article 23 and Sections 2.2, 16.8 through 16.10,
24.2, 24.3, 24.5 through 24.10 and 24.12 of the Lease are hereby incorporated
herein by
<PAGE> 12
reference, mutatis, mutandis and shall be applicable to this Agreement as if set
forth in full herein.
17. Without limiting any other provisions of any of the other Lease
Documents, this Agreement and BCC's obligations hereunder shall automatically
terminate upon BCC's purchase of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock
of the Lessee in accordance with the terms of Section 19.4 of the Lease.
18. BCC agrees that, as long as this Agreement remains in force and
effect, BCC shall provide to the Lessor, all of the Consolidated Financials
required to be provided by the Guarantor under the terms of the Lease (whether
or not the Lease is then in effect) and such other information relating to the
financial condition of BCC as the Lessor may reasonably request.
19. The Lessor covenants and agrees with BCC that, as long as no Lease
Default has occurred, nor any event which, with notice and/or the passage of
time could constitute a Lease Default, the Lessor shall not consent to any
assignment of the Lessee's interest under the Lease (except as provided in, and
in accordance with the terms of, Section 19.4 of the Lease) or any transfer of
substantially all of the Lessee's assets or any transfer of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of the Lessee without the prior written consent of
BCC, which consent, BCC may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion. In
addition, in the event that, in violation of the terms of the Lease, (a) the
Lessee attempts to assign its interest in the Lease (or transfer substantially
all of its assets), (b) the current holders of the issued and outstanding
capital stock of the Lessee attempt to transfer any such stock or (c) if any of
the events described in Section 16.1 (f) occurs, the Lessor covenants and agrees
with BCC that, subject to the provisions of applicable Legal Requirements, the
Lessor shall terminate the Lease (in accordance with the terms thereof) and
shall enter into a new lease of the Leased Property with BCC (or any of its
wholly-owned Subsidiaries, provided, that, BCC executes and delivers a guaranty
of any such lease, in form and substance acceptable to the Lessor), in form and
substance acceptable to the Lessor; provided, however, that any such lease shall
be substantially similar to the Lease. In connection with the execution and
delivery of any such lease, (a) BCC and its Subsidiaries shall execute and
deliver any additional documents that the Lessor may request, in form and
substance similar to the Lease Documents (such as assignments of Contracts and
Permits, a pledge of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the new lessee,
an affiliated party subordination agreement, etc.) and (b) BCC shall deliver to
the Lessor such evidence as Lessor shall request, in form and substance
acceptable to the Lessor, that the new lease and all other documents executed
and delivered in connection therewith have been duly authorized, executed and
delivered and are enforceable (such as opinions, certificates of legal existence
and good standing and certified copies of corporate resolutions). BCC agrees to
pay all of the costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Lessor (including,
without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses) in connection with the
performance of the Lessor's obligations under this Section 19.
20. BCC covenants and agrees with the Lessor that BCC shall not assign
any interest that it holds in any of the Working Capital Loan Documents without
the prior written consent of the Lessor, in each instance, which consent may be
withheld in the Lessor's sole and absolute discretion.

current Term, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice that
Tenant desires to exercise its right to extend the then current
Term for one (1) Renewal Term.
-2-
<PAGE> 8
1.2.2 There shall be no Event of Default under this
Lease or any of the Other Leases, either on the date of Tenant's
notice to Landlord pursuant to Section 1.2.1 above, or on the
last day of the then current Term of this Lease.
1.2.3 The tenants of all the Other Leases concurrently
exercise their respective rights to extend the then current term
of such Other Leases, and the terms and conditions of renewal of
such Other Leases are fully satisfied, all as provided in the
Master Agreement and such Other Leases.
1.2.4 All other provisions of this Lease shall remain
in full force and effect and shall continuously apply throughout
the Renewal Term(s).
2. RENT. During the Initial Term and all Renewal Terms Tenant shall
pay to Landlord minimum rent ("MINIMUM RENT") and additional rent ("ADDITIONAL
RENT") as follows:
2.1 INITIAL TERM MINIMUM RENT. During the Initial Term, the
Minimum Rent shall accrue or be paid to Landlord by Tenant monthly in advance
and shall be calculated as follows:
2.1.1 CONSTRUCTION PERIOD MINIMUM RENT. During the Initial
Term, but prior to the earliest to occur of (A) Substantial
Completion, or (B) the Completion Date (both as defined in the
Development Agreement) (such earliest date being hereinafter in
this Lease referred to as the "RESET DATE"), Minimum Rent shall
be calculated as follows:
(i) Landlord shall determine in good faith based on
recognized industry sources the London Interbank Offering Rate
for 30 day advances (the "LIBOR Rate") in effect on the first
business day of each calendar month before the Reset Date occurs;
(ii) During each calendar month in the Initial Term
until the Reset Date occurs, Minimum Rent (referred to herein as
the "CONSTRUCTION PERIOD MINIMUM RENT") shall accrue but shall
not be paid:
(A) on the total outstanding from time to time of (x)
$__________________________________________________________
(hereinafter referred to as the "LAND COST") plus (y) all
advances made under the Development Agreement with respect to
Work (as defined in the Development Agreement) plus (z) all
previously accrued but unpaid Construction Period Minimum
Rent;
(B) at a rate equal to one twelfth (1/12) of the sum
of (x) the LIBOR Rate in affect for the applicable month,
plus (y) one hundred fifty (150) basis points;
(iii) The accrual of Construction Period Minimum
Rent calculated under this Section 2.1.1 with respect to advances
made other than on the first day of a
-3-
<PAGE> 9
calendar month shall be prorated in the month in which advances
are made on the basis of a thirty (30) day month and actual days
elapsed;
2.1.2 POST-CONSTRUCTION MINIMUM RENT. On the Reset
Date, the monthly Minimum Rent with respect to the total of (A)
the Land Cost plus (B) all advances under the Development
Agreement for Work plus (C) all accrued but unpaid Construction
Period Minimum Rent shall be reset at an amount equal to
one-twelfth (1/12) of the product of (I) the total of the Land
Cost plus such advances made for Work plus accrued but unpaid
Construction Period Minimum Rent, times (II) three hundred thirty
(330) basis points over the twenty (20) day average 10 year
United States Treasury rate in effect on the Reset Date (the
"INITIAL TERM POST-CONSTRUCTION MINIMUM RENT").
2.1.3 DEFERRAL PERIOD.
(i) The Initial Term Post-Construction Minimum
Rent shall accrue but not be paid until one hundred twenty (120)
days after the Reset Date. The total amount which accrues during
such one hundred twenty (120) day period is referred to herein as
the "BASE DEFERRED RENT" and such one hundred twenty (120) day
period is referred to as the "DEFERRAL PERIOD". With respect to
the Deferral Period, Tenant hereby agrees to pay additional
deferred rent in an amount equal to six percent (6%) of the Base
Deferred Rent (hereinafter referred to as the "ADDITIONAL
DEFERRED RENT"). The sum of the Base Deferred Rent plus the
Additional Deferred Rent is referred to herein as the "DEFERRED
RENT AMOUNT";
(ii) Commencing with the Payment Commencement
Date (as such term is defined in the next sentence) and on the
first business day of each calendar month thereafter during the
Initial Term, the Minimum Rent payable during the Initial Term
shall include the Initial Term Post-Construction Minimum Rent and
the Amortizing Payment (as defined below). As used herein, the
"PAYMENT COMMENCEMENT DATE" shall mean the first business day of
the calendar month immediately following the expiration of the
Deferral Period. If the Reset Date falls on other than the first
business day of a calendar month, on the Payment Commencement
Date, Tenant shall also pay a prorated amount of Initial Term
Post-Construction Minimum Rent for the period from the end of the
Deferral Period to the Payment Commencement Date, based on a
thirty (30) day month and actual days elapsed;
(iii) Commencing on the Payment Commencement Date
and monthly thereafter during the Initial Term, the Minimum Rent
payable by Tenant shall include an amount (the "AMORTIZING
PAYMENT") equal to (A) the Deferred Rent Amount, divided by (B)
the number of calendar months remaining after the end of the
Deferral Period through the end of the Initial Term;
(iv) Therefore, during the Initial Term but
before the end of the Deferral Period, although the Deferred Rent
Amount shall accrue and be payable over
-4-
<PAGE> 10
the balance of the Initial Term, there shall be no monthly
Minimum Rent payable by Tenant; and
(v) After the end of the Deferral Period and
continuing for the remainder of the Initial Term, monthly Minimum
Rent payable by Tenant consists of (A) the Initial Term
Post-Construction Minimum Rent plus (B) the Amortizing Payment.
2.2 INITIAL TERM ADDITIONAL RENT.
2.2.1 During the second Lease Year of the Initial Term,
Tenant agrees to pay Additional Rent to Landlord on a monthly
basis in advance on the first business day of each calendar
month. Such Additional Rent (which shall be expressed as an
annual amount but shall be payable in equal monthly installments)
shall be equal to the total Minimum Rent payable by Tenant with
respect to the first Lease Year times the percentage increase
(the "CPI INCREASE") in the United States Department of Labor,
Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index for All Urban
Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, United States Average,
Subgroup "All Items" (1982-1984=100) (the "CPI"). In no event
shall a CPI Increase calculated under this Lease be a negative
number. For purposes of this Section 2.2.1, the CPI Increase
shall be calculated by comparing the CPI in effect on January 1,
1998 to the CPI in effect on January 1, 1999.
2.2.2 Commencing with the third Lease Year and
continuing thereafter during the Initial Term, Tenant agrees to
pay Additional Rent to Landlord on a monthly basis in arrears on
the fifteenth (15th) day of each calendar month; provided,
however, if such payment date falls on a weekend or federal
holiday, Tenant shall make such payment on the first business day
immediately preceding such payment date. Such Additional Rent
shall be equal to the sum of (a) eleven percent (11%) of the
amount by which the Gross Revenues for the applicable Lease Year
through the applicable month exceed the Gross Revenues for the
applicable portion of the Base Year, minus (b) all Additional
Rent previously paid by Tenant with respect to such Lease Year.
The obligation to make a payment of Additional Rent which accrues
during the Term shall survive the termination of this Lease and
be payable as if the Lease was still in effect.
2.2.3 "GROSS REVENUES" shall be calculated according to
generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied
("GAAP") and shall be defined as all revenues generated by the
operation, sublease and/or use of the Premises in any way,
excluding (a) contractual allowances during the Term for billings
not paid by or received from the appropriate governmental
agencies or third party providers; (b) federal, state or local
sales or excise taxes and any tax based upon or measured by said
revenues which is added to or made a part of the amount billed to
the patient or resident or other recipient of such services or
goods, whether included in the billing or stated separately; (c)
allowances according to GAAP or uncollectible accounts; (d) all
proper patient or resident billing credits; and (e) deposits
refundable
-5-
<PAGE> 11
to patients or residents of the applicable Facility. To the
extent any portion of the Premises is subleased or occupied by an
Affiliate of Tenant, Gross Revenues calculated for all purposes
of this Lease (including, without limitation, the determination
of the Additional Rent payable under this Lease) shall include
the Gross Revenues of such sublessee with respect to the premises
demised under the applicable sublease (i.e., the Gross Revenues
generated from the operations conducted on such subleased portion
of the Premises) and the rent received or receivable from such
sublessee pursuant to such subleases shall be excluded from Gross
Revenues for all such purposes. As to any sublease between Tenant
and a non-Affiliate of Tenant, only the rental actually received
by Tenant from such non-Affiliate shall be included in Gross
Revenues.
2.2.4 "LEASE YEAR" shall be defined as the twelve (12)
month periods commencing on April 1 of each year of the Term.
2.2.5 The "BASE YEAR" during the Initial Term shall mean
the second Lease Year.
2.2.6 (a) the term "AFFILIATE" is defined to mean with
respect to any person or entity, any other person or entity which
controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the
first person or entity, and the term "AFFILIATES" is defined to
mean any group of such persons or entities; (b) the term
"CONTROL" is expressly deemed to include any actual discretion or
power to direct the affairs of the controlled person or entity,
either directly or through a chain of ownership or control
(regardless of actual ownership); (c) a general partner, manager,
or managing member of a partnership or limited liability company,
and any owner of thirty percent (30%) or more of such general
partner or managing member, is expressly deemed to control such
partnership or limited liability company; (d) a person or entity
owning thirty percent (30%) or more of the common stock of a
corporation or thirty percent (30%) or more of the voting
interest in any other type of entity, is expressly deemed to
control such corporation or other entity; (e) a trustee of a
trust is expressly deemed to control such trust; (f) Tenant and
Guarantor, and any entity which is an Affiliate of any of the
aforementioned entities, are all expressly deemed to be
Affiliates of each other, and (g) BCC, Developer, Manager and any
entity which is an Affiliate of any of the aforementioned
entities, are all expressly deemed to be Affiliates of each
other. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term "Affiliate" shall
not include any person or entity that is an equity owner or
parent entity of Elder Care Operators, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company; provided, however, this exclusion provision
shall not exclude BCC, Developer, Manager, or Tenant as an
Affiliate.
2.3 RENEWAL TERM MINIMUM RENT. The Minimum Rent for each Renewal
Term shall be expressed as an annual amount but shall be payable in advance in
equal monthly installments on the first business day of each calendar month.
Such annual Minimum Rent shall be equal to the product of:
-6-
<PAGE> 12
2.3.1 the greater of (a) the fair market value of the
Premises on the date of Tenant's notice of exercise pursuant to
Section 1.2.1 or (b) Landlord's Adjusted Investment (defined
below) in the Premises, both as applicable; and
2.3.2 a percentage equal to three hundred twenty (320)
basis points over the average 10 year United States Treasury rate
for the 20 day period ending on the date of Tenant's notice of
exercise pursuant to Section 1.2.1 above.
2.3.3 As used in this Lease, the term "LANDLORD'S
ADJUSTED INVESTMENT" means the product of Landlord's Investment
(defined below) times the percentage equal to the sum of (i) One
Hundred Percent (100%) plus (ii) the Increase. For purposes
of this Section 2.3.3, the Increase shall be determined by
comparing the CPI in effect as of January 1, 1998 to the CPI in
effect on January 1 of the calendar year during which the
applicable Renewal Term begins.
2.3.4 As used in this Lease, the term "LANDLORD'S
INVESTMENT" means the sum of (i) the Land Cost, plus (ii) all
amounts advanced by Landlord pursuant to Section 5.7 below, plus
(iii) all amounts advanced by Landlord under the Development
Agreement for Work, plus (iv) the total accrued Construction
Period Minimum Rent, plus (v) the total accrued Deferred Rent
Amount (but only to the extent such Deferred Rent Amount remains
unamortized or unpaid as of this calculation), minus (vi) any net
award paid to Landlord pursuant to Section 13.1 or Section 13.2
below.
If within ten (10) days of the date of Tenant's notice of exercise pursuant to
Section 1.2.1 above, Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on the fair market
value of the Premises for purposes of this calculation, such fair market value
shall be established by the appraisal process described on Exhibit "B" attached
hereto. The fair market value for purposes of determining the Minimum Rent for
the applicable Renewal Term must be finally determined by such appraisal process
on or before a date ninety (90) days after Tenant's notice of exercise pursuant
to Section 1.2.1 above or Tenant shall lose its right to extend the Term.
Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that this Section is designed to
establish a fair market Minimum Rent for the Premises during the applicable
Renewal Terms.
2.4 RENEWAL TERM ADDITIONAL RENT. Except during the first Lease
Year of any Renewal Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Additional Rent in each
Renewal Term on a monthly basis in arrears on the fifteenth (15th) day of each
calendar month; provided, however, if such payment date falls on a weekend or
federal holiday, Tenant shall make such payment on the first business day
immediately preceding such payment date. The Additional Rent for each Renewal
Term shall be calculated as provided in Section 2.2 hereof except that (i)
Section 2.2.1 hereof shall not apply, and (ii) the Base Year for the purpose of
determining such Additional Rent shall be the first Lease Year of the applicable
Renewal Term.
-7-
<PAGE> 13
2.5 RENT CAP AND FLOOR.
2.5.1 Notwithstanding any of the other terms of this
Section 2 but subject to Sections 2.5.2 and 2.5.3 below, the
total of the Minimum Rent and Additional Rent (the "TOTAL RENT")
due during each Lease Year shall not increase from one Lease Year
to the next by an amount in excess of the product of (i) three
percent (3%), times (ii) the Total Rent due during the
immediately preceding Lease Year.
2.5.2 The terms of Section 2.5.1 above shall have no
applicability in determining the calculation of the Total Rent
due with respect to the first Lease Year of any Renewal Term.
Notwithstanding any of the other terms of this Section 2, the
Total Rent due with respect to the first Lease Year of any
Renewal Term shall not exceed one hundred twenty-five percent
(125%) of the Total Rent due during the immediately preceding
Lease Year.
2.5.3 Notwithstanding any of the other terms of this
Section 2, the Total Rent due during any Lease Year shall not
under any circumstances be less than the Total Rent due during
the immediately preceding Lease Year.
2.5.4 To the extent that Section 2.5.1 above operates to
limit the Total Rent due for any Lease Year, the amount of rent
which would have otherwise been paid or payable by Tenant will be
carried forward on a cumulative basis and will be paid by Tenant
to Landlord in any subsequent Lease Year (other than the first
Lease Year of a Renewal Term) to the extent that the Total Rent
due for such subsequent Lease Year is less than one hundred three
percent (103%) of the Total Rent due during the Lease Year
immediately preceding such subsequent Lease Year.
2.5.5 Within sixty (60) days of the end of each Lease
Year, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a report in a form
mutually agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant, certified by an
officer or general partner of Tenant, as applicable, setting
forth the calculations required by the application of this
Section 2.5. If said report provides that Tenant owes Landlord
any sum of money, Tenant shall accompany such report delivered to
Landlord with such funds. If said report provides that Landlord
owes Tenant any sum of money, such sum shall be applied as a
credit against future installments of Minimum Rent and Additional
Rent due from Tenant to Landlord; provided, however, if such sum
is owed by Landlord to Tenant with respect to the last Lease Year
of the Term, Landlord shall pay such sum to Tenant within thirty
(30) days of Landlord's receipt of the report in question.
2.5.6 For the purpose of comparing the Total Rent due
from Lease Year to Lease Year pursuant to this Section 2.5, the
increase in Minimum Rent by reason of any disbursement by
Landlord pursuant to Section 5.7 of this Lease or pursuant to the
Development Agreement shall be treated as follows: (i) for the
purpose of comparing the Total Rent in the Lease Year in which
such disbursement is made against the Total Rent in the preceding
Lease Year, such increase in Minimum Rent shall be ignored, and
(ii) for the purpose of comparing the Total Rent in the Lease
Year in which such
-8-
<PAGE> 14
disbursement is made to the Total Rent in the following Lease
Year, such increase in Minimum Rent shall be deemed effective on
the first day of the Lease Year in which the disbursement is
made.
2.5.7 For the purpose of comparing the Total Rent due from
Lease Year to Lease Year pursuant to this Section 2.5, the Total
Rent due during the second Lease Year shall be calculated as if
the Reset Date occurred during the first Lease Year.
2.6 PRORATION FOR PARTIAL PERIODS. The rent for any month during
the Term which begins or ends on other than the first or last calendar day of a
calendar month shall be prorated based on actual days elapsed.
2.7. FORMS FOR ADDITIONAL RENT AND ANNUAL RENT LIMITS. Tenant
shall accompany each payment of Additional Rent with a completed calculation in
the form of Exhibit "C" attached hereto. Tenant shall accompany each payment of
the first month's Minimum Rent for each Lease Year with a completed calculation
in the form of Exhibit "D" attached hereto.
2.8 ABSOLUTE NET LEASE. All rent payments shall be absolutely
net to the Landlord free of Taxes (as hereinafter defined), assessments, utility
charges, operating expenses, refurnishings, insurance premiums or any other
charge or expense in connection with the Premises. All expenses and charges,
whether for upkeep, maintenance, repair, refurnishing, refurbishing,
restoration, replacement, insurance premiums, taxes, utilities, and other
operating or other charges of a like nature or otherwise, shall be paid by
Tenant. This provision is not in derogation of the specific provisions of this
Lease, but in expansion thereof and as an indication of the general intentions
of the parties hereto. Tenant shall continue to perform its obligations under
this Lease even if Tenant claims that Tenant has been damaged by any act or
omission of Landlord. Therefore, except for any credit due from Landlord in
favor of Tenant as provided in Section 2.5.5 of this Lease, Tenant shall at all
times remain obligated under this Lease without any right of set-off,
counterclaim, abatement, deduction, reduction or defense of any kind. Tenant's
sole right to recover damages against Landlord by reason of a breach or alleged
breach of Landlord's obligations under this Lease shall be to prove such damages
in a separate action against Landlord.
3. TAXES, ASSESSMENTS AND OTHER CHARGES:
3.1 TENANT'S OBLIGATIONS. Tenant agrees to pay and discharge
(including the filing of all required returns) any and all taxes (including, but
not limited to, real estate and personal property taxes, business and
occupational license taxes, ad valorem sales, use, intangible property, single
business, gross receipts, transaction privilege, franchise taxes, business
privilege, rent or other excise taxes) and other assessments levied or assessed
against Tenant, the Premises or any interest therein or Landlord (with respect
to this Lease and/or the Premises, but excluding (i) any state or federal income
tax based upon the net income of Landlord, and (ii) any transfer tax or stamps
assessed in connection with the transfer by Landlord of its interest in the
Premises to any person or entity other than BCC or a BCC Affiliate) (all such
taxes and assessments payable by Tenant being collectively referred to herein as
"TAXES") prior to delinquency or imposition of any fine, penalty, interest or
other cost. If any of the foregoing may, at the option of the taxpayer,
-9-
<PAGE> 15
be paid in installments, Tenant may exercise such option to pay the same in
installments (whether or not interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance) as the
same respectively become due and before any delinquency, fine, penalty, or
further interest or costs may be added thereto.
3.2 PRORATION. At the commencement and at the end of the Term,
all Taxes shall be prorated.
3.3 RIGHT TO PROTEST. Landlord and/or Tenant shall have the
right, but not the obligation, to protest the amount or payment of any real or
personal property taxes, assessments, or other impositions levied against the
Premises; provided that in the event of any protest by Tenant, Landlord shall
not incur any expense because of any such protest and shall cooperate in such
protest, Tenant shall diligently and continuously prosecute any such protest and
notwithstanding such protest Tenant shall pay any tax, assessment or other
charge before the imposition of any penalty or interest.
3.4 TAX INDEMNITY. In the event any Taxes, or fine, penalty,
and/or interest thereon are at any time assessed against the Landlord by the
state in which the Premises is located or any local governmental entity or
authority as a result of or arising out of the sale of the Premises to the
Landlord by the Seller or the lease of the Premises by the Tenant from the
Landlord, or Landlord becomes liable for any reason for any liability of Tenant
for Taxes or for any fine, penalty, or interest thereon, whether such assessment
arises from the sole liability of Landlord or from the joint liability of
Landlord and Tenant, and Landlord pays such assessment or liability, Tenant
hereby agrees to pay to the Landlord an amount equal to the amount of such
assessment of Tax, fine, penalty and interest. Such payment shall be due and
payable to Landlord on or before the thirtieth (30th) day following Tenant's
receipt of a written notice from Landlord (pursuant to the notice provisions
under this Lease) of any such assessment and payment. Tenant shall have the
right, but not the obligation, to protest the amount or payment of such
assessment (in whole or in part) against the Landlord, and Landlord will
cooperate fully with Tenant in regard to such protest; provided that in the
event of any protest by Tenant, Landlord shall not incur any expense because of
such protest. Tenant shall diligently and continuously prosecute any such
protest. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant agrees to protect,

appearance, repair and condition and maintain proper
housekeeping. Tenant shall promptly make
-12-
<PAGE> 18
or cause to be made all repairs, interior and exterior,
structural and nonstructural, ordinary and extraordinary,
foreseen and unforeseen, necessary to keep the Premises in good
and lawful order and condition and in substantial compliance with
all requirements for the operation of a Facility in the state in
which the Premises is located and, if applicable, certification
for participation in Medicare and Medicaid (or any successor
programs) as otherwise required under all applicable local, state
and federal laws.
5.1.2 As part of Tenant's obligations under this Section
5.1, Tenant shall be responsible to maintain, repair and replace
all Landlord Personal Property and all Tenant Personal Property
(as defined in Section 7.1 below) in good condition, ordinary
wear and tear excepted, consistent with prudent industry practice
for a Facility.
5.1.3 Without limiting Tenant's obligations to maintain
the Premises under this Lease, within thirty (30) days of the end
of each Lease Year starting with the end of the fourth (4th)
Lease Year, Tenant shall provide Landlord with evidence
satisfactory to Landlord in the reasonable exercise of Landlord's
discretion that Tenant has in such Lease Year spent on Upgrade
Expenditures (as hereinafter defined) an annual average amount of
at least Two Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($200.00) per living unit
as such amount is adjusted annually at the end of each Lease Year
for CPI Increases. For purposes of this Section 5.1.3, the CPI
Increase shall be determined by comparing the CPI in effect as of
January 1, 1998 to the CPI in effect on January 1 of the calendar
year during which the Upgrade Expenditures are to be made. The
term "UPGRADE EXPENDITURES" is defined to mean upgrades or
improvements to the Premises which have the effect of maintaining
or improving the competitive position of the Premises in its
marketplace. Non-exclusive examples of Upgrade Expenditures are
new or replacement wallpaper, tiles, window coverings, lighting
fixtures, painting, upgraded landscaping, carpeting,
architectural adornments, common area amenities and the like. It
is expressly understood that capital improvements or repairs
(such as but not limited to repairs or replacements to the
structural elements of the walls, parking area, or the roof or to
the electrical, plumbing, HVAC or other mechanical or structural
systems in the Premises) shall not be considered to be Upgrade
Expenditures. If Tenant fails to make at least the above amount
of Upgrade Expenditures, Tenant shall promptly on demand from
Landlord (but in no event more than five days) pay to Landlord
the applicable shortfall in Upgrade Expenditures. Such funds
shall be the sole property of Landlord and Landlord may in its
sole discretion provide such funds to Tenant to correct the
shortfall in Upgrade Expenditures or may simply retain such funds
as supplemental rent hereunder.
5.2 REGULATORY COMPLIANCE.
5.2.1 Tenant and the Premises shall comply with all
federal, state and local licensing and other laws and regulations
applicable to the operation of a Facility as well as with the
certification requirements of Medicare and Medicaid (or any
successor program), if applicable. Further, Tenant shall ensure
that the Premises
-13-
<PAGE> 19
continue to be operated as at least a 66-unit Facility, all
without any suspension, revocation, decertification or
limitation. Further, Tenant shall not commit any act or omission
that would in any way violate any certificate of occupancy
affecting the Premises.
5.2.2 The Facility license and all other licenses and
certifications on or affecting the Property must be in the name
of Tenant, or another operator (the "OPERATOR") approved in
writing by Landlord, whose consent may not be unreasonably
withheld, except for transfers between Tenant and BCC or a BCC
Affiliate (provided Landlord receives at least 30 days prior
written notice of such transfer). Neither Tenant, BCC, a BCC
Affiliate, nor any such Operator may sell, transfer, assign,
encumber, sublet, permit to lapse, expire, become suspended, or
terminate any such licenses or certifications, operating rights
associated with the Premises and certification without the prior
written consent of Landlord which may not be unreasonably
withheld, except for transfers between Tenant and BCC or a BCC
Affiliate (provided Landlord receives at least 30 days prior
written notice of such transfer). Tenant understands and agrees,
and agrees to so direct Manager, any future manager, and/or such
other Operator (as applicable), that all such licenses are an
integral part of the Property and must remain at the Property
unless approved in writing by Landlord, which approval may be
unreasonably withheld. Tenant or such other Operator must provide
photocopies of all such certifications and licenses, and any and
all notices and reports requested by Landlord, within five (5)
days of receipt of such request.
5.2.3 All inspection fees, costs and charges associated
with a change of such licensure or certification shall be borne
solely by Tenant. Tenant shall at its sole cost make any
additions or alterations to the Premises necessitated by, or
imposed in connection with, a change of ownership inspection
survey for the transfer of operation of the Premises from Tenant
or Tenant's assignee or subtenant to Landlord or Landlord's
designee at the expiration or termination of the Term.
5.3 PERMITTED USE. Tenant shall continuously use and occupy
the Premises during the Term, as a personal care/assisted living facility with
at least 66 units or such additional units as may hereafter be permitted under
this Lease, and for such ancillary health care uses as are permitted by law and
acceptable to Landlord in the exercise of Landlord's reasonable discretion,
including, without limitation, outpatient rehab and Alzheimer services.
5.4 TENANT REPURCHASE OBLIGATION. If Tenant fails to comply
with Section 5.3 of this Lease, if any certification of the Premises under
Medicare or Medicaid (or any successor program) is ever granted and then later
revoked, suspended or materially limited, or if any material license relating to
the operation of the Premises is revoked, suspended or materially limited, then
in addition to Landlord's other rights and remedies under this Lease, Landlord
shall have the right, thirty (30) days after providing to Tenant written notice
an opportunity to cure, to put the Premises to Tenant. If Landlord exercises
such right, Tenant shall purchase the Premises from Landlord for a cash price
equal to the greater of (a) Landlord's Adjusted Investment, or (b) the fair
market value of the Premises on the date of Landlord's notice of exercise. Such
fair market value shall be as agreed between Landlord and Tenant. However,
failing such agreement
-14-
<PAGE> 20
within ten (10) days of Landlord's notice of exercise under this Section, such
fair market value shall be determined by the appraisal process set forth in
Exhibit "B" attached hereto. Within ninety (90) days of Landlord's exercise of
its put under this Section 5.4, such purchase shall be consummated utilizing an
escrow at a national title company selected by Landlord. Such escrow shall be
documented on such title company's standard sale escrow instructions without
representations or warranties and without any due diligence or other
contingencies in favor of the buyer. Tenant shall pay all costs of such sale
transaction. At the close of such sale, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant title
to the Premises free and clear of any liens created by Landlord (other than
liens, leases, subleases, and related instruments entered into, caused or
created in whole or in part by BCC, Guarantor, Developer, Manager, or their
respective Affiliates) subject only to those title exceptions shown on Exhibit
"E" attached hereto and any additional title exceptions required or approved by
Landlord in its sole discretion.
5.5 NO LIENS; PERMITTED CONTESTS. Tenant shall not cause or
permit any liens, levies or attachments to be placed or assessed against the
Premises or the operation thereof for any reason, other than the Permitted
Encumbrances. For purposes of this Section 5.5, the term "PERMITTED
ENCUMBRANCES" shall mean and include the Leasehold Mortgage and any recorded
financing statements related thereto. Tenant acknowledges and agrees the
interest of the Landlord in the Premises shall not be subject to liens for
improvements made by Tenant to the Premises. However, Tenant shall be permitted
in good faith and at its expense to contest the existence, amount or validity of
any lien upon the Premises by appropriate proceedings sufficient to prevent the
collection or other realization of the lien or claim so contested, as well as
the sale, forfeiture or loss of any of the Premises or any rent to satisfy the
same. Tenant shall provide Landlord with security satisfactory to Landlord in
Landlord's reasonable judgment to assure the foregoing. Each contest permitted
by this Section 5.5 shall be promptly and diligently prosecuted to a final
conclusion by Tenant.
5.6 ALTERATIONS BY TENANT. Tenant shall have the right of
altering, improving, replacing, modifying or expanding the facilities, equipment
or appliances in the Premises from time to time as it may determine is desirable
for the continuing and proper use and maintenance of the Premises under this
Lease; provided, however, that any alterations, improvements, replacements,
expansions or modifications in excess of One Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100
Dollars ($150,000.00) in any rolling twelve (12) month period shall require the
prior written consent of the Landlord. The cost of all such alterations,
improvements, replacements, modifications, expansions or other purchases,
whether undertaken as an on-going licensing, Medicare or Medicaid (or any
successor program) (if applicable), other regulatory requirement, or otherwise,
shall be borne solely and exclusively by Tenant (unless funded by Landlord under
Section 5.7 below) and shall immediately become a part of the Premises and the
property of the Landlord subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease. All
work done in connection therewith shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner
and in compliance with all existing codes and regulations pertaining to the
Premises and shall comply with the requirements of insurance policies required
under this Lease. In the event any items of the Premises have become inadequate,
obsolete or worn out or require replacement (by direction of any regulatory body
or otherwise), Tenant shall remove such items and exchange or replace the same
at Tenant's sole cost and the same shall become part of the Premises and
property of the Landlord.
-15-
<PAGE> 21
5.7 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS FUNDED BY LANDLORD. In the event
Tenant desires to make a capital improvement or a related series of capital
improvements to the Premises and if Tenant desires that Landlord fund the same,
Landlord shall, in its discretion and without obligation, within thirty (30)
days of Tenants' written request therefor, consider Tenant's request to fund
such capital improvements. Each and every capital improvement funded by Landlord
under this Section shall immediately become a part of the Premises and shall
belong to Landlord subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease. If
Landlord funds any capital improvements, Landlord's Investment shall be
increased for all purposes under this Lease by the amount of the funds provided
by Landlord for capital improvements.
5.8 COMPLIANCE WITH IRS GUIDELINES. Any improvement or
modification to the Premises shall satisfy the requirements set forth in
Sections 4(4).02 and .03 of Revenue Procedure 75-21, 1975-1 C.B. 715, as
modified by Revenue Procedure 79-48, 1979-2 C.B. 529. Landlord reserves the
right to refuse to consent to any improvement or modification to the Premises
if, in its judgment, such improvement or modification does not meet the
foregoing requirements.
6. CONDITION OF, AND TITLE TO, PREMISES. Tenant acknowledges that it
is presently engaged in the operation of Facilities in the state in which the
Premises is located and has expertise in the Facility industry. Tenant has
thoroughly investigated the Premises, has selected the Premises to its own
specifications, and has concluded that no other improvements or modifications to
the Premises are required in order to operate the Premises for its intended use,
except for the improvements to be constructed pursuant to the Development
Agreement. Tenant accepts the Premises for use as a Facility under this Lease on
an "AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS" basis and will assume all responsibility
and cost for the correction of any observed or unobserved deficiencies or
violations. In making its decision to enter into this Lease, Tenant has not
relied on any representations or warranties, express or implied, of any kind
from Landlord. Tenant has examined the condition of title to the Premises prior
to the execution and delivery of this Lease and has found the same to be
satisfactory. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Lease to the
contrary, Tenant accepts the Premises in their present condition, AS IS, WHERE
IS, WITH ALL FAULTS, and without any representations or warranties whatsoever,
express or implied, including, without limitation, any express or implied
representations or warranties as to the fitness, use, suitability, or condition
of the Premises. Tenant hereby represents and warrants to Landlord that Tenant
is thoroughly familiar with the Premises and the condition thereof, that Tenant
is relying on Tenant's own personal knowledge of the condition of the Premises,
that neither Landlord nor any person or entity acting or allegedly acting for or
on behalf of Landlord or any other person or entity having or claiming any
interest in the Premises has made any representations, warranties, agreements,
statements, or expressions of opinions in any way or manner whatsoever related
to, connected with, or concerning the Premises, the condition of the Premises,
or any other fact or circumstance whatsoever on which Tenant is relying, and, to
the maximum extent not prohibited by applicable law, Tenant hereby releases and
discharges Landlord and all other persons and entities having or claiming any
interest in the Premises from all liability, damages, costs, and expenses of
every kind and nature whatsoever in any way or manner arising out of, connected
with, related to, or emanating from the condition of the Premises at any time
during the Term of this Lease. Tenant has examined the condition of title to the
Premises prior to the execution and delivery of this Lease and has found the
same to be satisfactory.
-16-
<PAGE> 22
7. LANDLORD AND TENANT PERSONAL PROPERTY.
7.1 TENANT PERSONAL PROPERTY. Tenant shall install, affix or
assemble or place on the Premises all items of furniture, fixtures, equipment
and supplies not included as Landlord Personal Property as Tenant reasonably
considers to be appropriate for Tenant's use of the Premises as contemplated by
this Lease (the "TENANT PERSONAL PROPERTY"). Tenant shall provide and maintain
during the entire Term all Tenant Personal Property as shall be necessary in
order to operate the Premises in compliance with all requirements set forth in
this Lease. All Tenant Personal Property shall be and shall remain the property
of Tenant and may be removed by Tenant upon the expiration of the Term. However,
if there is any Event of Default, Tenant will not remove the Tenant Personal
Property from the Premises and will on demand from Landlord, convey the Tenant
Personal Property to Landlord by executing a bill of sale in a form reasonably
required by Landlord conveying all right, title, and interest Tenant has in
Tenant Personal Property, including, without limitation, all rights under third
party agreements regarding lease or purchase of Tenant Personal Property and all
related cure rights and rights to receive notice of default thereunder. In any
event, Tenant will repair all damage to the Premises caused by any removal of
the Tenant Personal Property.
7.2 LANDLORD'S SECURITY INTEREST.
7.2.1 The parties intend that if Tenant defaults under
this Lease, Landlord will control the Tenant Personal Property
and the Intangible Property (as defined in Section 7.4 below) so
that Landlord or its designee can operate or re-let the Premises
intact for use as a Facility.
7.2.2 Therefore, to implement the intention of the
parties, and for the purpose of securing the payment and
performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, Tenant, as
debtor, hereby grants to Landlord, as secured party, a security
interest in and an express contractual lien upon, all of Tenant's
right, title and interest in and to the Tenant Personal Property
and in and to the Intangible Property and any and all products
and proceeds thereof, in which Tenant now owns or hereafter
acquires an interest or right, including any leased Tenant
Personal Property. This Lease constitutes a security agreement
covering all such Tenant Personal Property and the Intangible
Property. The security interest granted to Landlord in this
Section 7.2.2 is intended by Landlord and Tenant to be
subordinate to any security interest granted in connection with
the financing or leasing of all or any portion of the Tenant
Personal Property so long as the lessor or financier of such
Tenant Personal Property agrees to (a) give Landlord written
notice of any default by Tenant under the terms of such lease or
financing arrangement, (b) give Landlord the lesser of (i) five
days after receipt of such notice to cure any such default or
(ii) the same time period as given to Tenant to cure any such
default, and (c) consent to Landlord's written assumption of such
lease or financing arrangement upon Landlord's curing of any
defaults thereunder. This security agreement and the security
interest created herein shall survive the termination of this
Lease if such termination results from the occurrence of an Event
of Default.
-17-
<PAGE> 23
7.3. FINANCING STATEMENTS. If required by Landlord at any time
during the Term, Tenant will execute and deliver to Landlord, in form reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord, additional security agreements, financing statements,
fixture filings and such other documents as Landlord may reasonably require to
perfect or continue the perfection of Landlord's security interest in the Tenant
Personal Property and the Intangible Property and any and all products and
proceeds thereof now owned or hereafter acquired by Tenant. Tenant shall pay all
fees and costs that Landlord may incur in filing such documents in public
offices and in obtaining such record searches as Landlord may reasonably
require. In the event Tenant fails to execute any financing statements or other
documents for the perfection or continuation of Landlord's security interest,
Tenant hereby appoints Landlord as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to
execute any such documents on its behalf, which power of attorney shall be
irrevocable and is deemed to be coupled with an interest.
7.4 INTANGIBLE PROPERTY. The term "INTANGIBLE PROPERTY" means
all accounts, proceeds of accounts, rents, profits, income or revenue derived
from the use of rooms or other space within the Premises or the providing of
services in or from the Premises; documents, chattel paper, instruments,
contract rights, deposit accounts, general intangibles, chooses in action, now
owned or hereafter acquired by Tenant (including any right to any refund of any
taxes or other charges heretofore or hereafter paid to any governmental
authority) arising from or in connection with Tenant's operation or use of the
Premises; all licenses and permits now owned or hereinafter acquired by Tenant,
necessary or desirable for Tenant's use of the Premises under this Lease,
including, without limitation, if applicable, any certificate of need or other
similar certificate; and the right to use any trade or other name now or
hereafter associated with the operation of the Premises by Tenant, including,
without limitation, the name "_______________________." The word "ACCOUNTS"
above shall include, without limitation and to the extent assignable, accounts
to be paid by Medicaid or Medicare (or successor programs), if any. With respect
to the above referenced trade name, Landlord and BCC each agree to cooperate to
enter into a licensing agreement for the use of the trade name, in form and
substance reasonably acceptable to both Landlord and BCC, which agreement shall
include, without limitation, that the license shall be (i) perpetual (except in
the event BCC or an Affiliate acquires the Premises in which case the license
shall automatically terminate); (ii) at no cost to Landlord; (iii) assignable by
Landlord to a successor operator of the Premises upon or after the occurrence of
an Event of Default under the Lease, and (iv) solely applicable to the Premises.
8. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Landlord and Tenant do hereby
each for itself represent and warrant to each other as follows:
8.1 DUE AUTHORIZATION AND EXECUTION. This Lease and all
agreements, instruments and documents executed or to be executed in connection
herewith by either Landlord or Tenant were duly authorized and shall be binding
upon the party that executed and delivered the same.

10.1.7 An assignment by Tenant, BCC, Guarantor, or any
future guarantor of this Lease of all or substantially all of its
property for the benefit of creditors;
10.1.8 The appointment of a receiver, trustee, or
liquidator for Tenant, BCC Developer, Manager, Guarantor or any future
guarantor of this Lease (any such person being hereinafter individually
referred to in this Section 10.1.8 as the "AFFECTED PERSON"), or any of
the property of the Affected Person, if within ten (10) business days of
such appointment the Affected Person does not inform Landlord in writing
that the Affected Person intends to cause such appointment to be
discharged or the Affected Person does not thereafter diligently
prosecute such discharge to completion within sixty (60) days after the
date of such appointment;
10.1.9 The failure to deliver evidence of insurance to
Landlord as required by Section 4.1;
10.1.10 The filing by Tenant, BCC, Developer, Manager,

involuntarily filed against Tenant, BCC, Developer, Manager, Guarantor,
or any future manager or guarantor of this Lease (any such person being
hereinafter individually referred to in this Section 10.1.10 as the
"BANKRUPT PERSON") by any other party and the Bankrupt Person, BCC, or
Tenant does not within three (3) business days of any such filing inform
Landlord in writing of the intent by the Bankrupt Person to cause such
petition to be dismissed, or if the Bankrupt Person does not thereafter
diligently prosecute such dismissal, or if such filing is not dismissed
within ninety (90) days after filing thereof;
10.1.11 The failure to perform or comply with any other
term or provision of this Lease not requiring the payment of money
(except as provided in Section 10.1.9), including, without limitation,
the failure to comply with the provisions hereof pertaining to the use,
operation and maintenance of the Premises; provided, however, the
default described in this Section 10.1.11 is curable and shall be
deemed cured, if: (a) within ten (10) business days of Tenant's receipt
of a notice of default from Landlord, Tenant gives Landlord notice of
its intent to cure such default; and (b) Tenant cures such default
within thirty (30) days after such notice from Landlord, unless such
default cannot with due diligence be cured within a period of thirty
(30) days because of the nature of the default or delays beyond the
control of Tenant, and cure after such thirty (30) day period will not
have a material and adverse effect upon the Premises, in which case
such default shall not constitute an Event of Default if Tenant uses
its best efforts to cure such default by promptly commencing and
diligently pursuing such cure to the completion thereof, provided,
-21-
<PAGE> 27
however, no such default shall continue for more than one hundred
twenty (120) days from Tenant's receipt of a notice of default from
Landlord;
10.1.12 There shall be no cure period in the event of
the breach by Tenant of (a) the obligation to provide replacement
policies of insurance as required in Section 4.1 above, (b) the
provisions of Section 20 below, or (c) the provisions of Section 22
below with respect to assignments and other related matters; and
10.1.13 All notice and cure periods provided herein
shall run concurrently with any notice or cure periods provided by
applicable law.
10.2 REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
Landlord may exercise all rights and remedies under this Lease and the laws of
the state in which the Premises is located available to a lessor of real and
personal property in the event of a default by its lessee, and as to the Tenant
Personal Property and the Intangible Property all remedies granted under the
laws of such State to a secured party under its Uniform Commercial Code. Without
limiting the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to do any of the
following:
10.2.1 Sue for the specific performance of any covenant
of Tenant under this Lease as to which Tenant is in breach;
10.2.2 Enter upon the Premises, terminate this Lease,
dispossess Tenant from the Premises and/or collect money damages by
reason of Tenant's breach, including, without limitation, the
acceleration of all rent which would have accrued after such termination
and all obligations and liabilities of Tenant under this Lease which
survive the termination of the Term;
10.2.3 Elect to leave this Lease in place and sue for
rent and/or other money damages as the same come due;
10.2.4 Before or after repossession of the Premises
pursuant to Section 10.2.2, and whether or not this Lease has been
terminated, Landlord shall have the right (but shall be under no
obligation) to relet any portion of the Premises to such tenant or
tenants, for such term or terms (which may be greater or less than the
remaining balance of the Term), for such rent, or such conditions (which
may include concessions) and for such uses, as Landlord, in its absolute
discretion, may determine, and Landlord may collect and receive any
rents payable by reason of such reletting. Tenant agrees to pay
Landlord, immediately upon demand, all reasonable expenses incurred by
Landlord in obtaining possession and in reletting any of the Premises,
including fees, commissions and costs of attorneys, architects, agents
and brokers. Although Landlord shall have no duty to mitigate damages
unless required by applicable law and shall not be responsible or liable
for any failure to relet any of the Premises or for any failure to
collect any rent due upon any such reletting, Landlord agrees that any
rents actually received by Landlord from reletting the Premises shall be
credited towards the amounts due hereunder.
-22-
<PAGE> 28
10.2.5 Sell the Tenant Personal Property and/or the
Intangible Property in a non-judicial foreclosure sale.
10.2.6 For the purpose of calculating rent loss damages
payable to Landlord, Additional Rent for all periods after an Event of
Default shall be calculated based on the higher of actual Gross Revenues
or extrapolated Gross Revenues based on Gross Revenues performance prior
to the Event of Default.
10.3 RECEIVERSHIP. Tenant acknowledges that one of the rights
and remedies available to Landlord under applicable law is to apply to a court
of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver to take possession
of the Premises, to collect the rents, issues, profits and income of the
Premises and to manage the operation of the Premises. Tenant further
acknowledges that the revocation, suspension or material and adverse limitation
of (i) certification of the Premises for provider status (in the event such
certification is ever obtained) under Medicare or Medicaid (or successor
programs) and/or (ii) a license relating to the operation of the Premises for
its intended use as a Facility under the laws of the state in which the Premises
is located will materially and irreparably impair the value of Landlord's
investment in the Premises. Therefore, in any of such events, and in addition to
any other right or remedy of Landlord under this Lease, Landlord may petition
any appropriate court for, and Tenant hereby consents to, the appointment of a
receiver to take possession of the Premises, to manage the operation of the
Premises, to collect and disburse all rents, issues, profits and income
generated thereby and to preserve or replace to the extent possible any such
license for the Premises or to otherwise substitute the licensee or provider
thereof. The receiver shall be entitled to a reasonable fee for its services as
a receiver. All such fees and other expenses of the receivership estate shall be
added to the monthly rent due to Landlord under this Lease (but shall not be
considered for the purpose of calculating any amounts pursuant to Section 2.5 of
this Lease). Tenant hereby irrevocably stipulates to the appointment of a
receiver under such circumstances and for such purposes and agrees not to
contest such appointment.
10.4 LATE CHARGES. Tenant acknowledges that the late payment of
any Minimum Rent or Additional Rent will cause Landlord to lose the use of such
money and incur costs and expenses not contemplated under this Lease, including,
without limitation, administrative and collection costs and processing and
accounting expenses, the exact amount of which is extremely difficult to
ascertain. Therefore, if any installment of Minimum Rent or Additional Rent is
not paid within five (5) calendar days after the due date for such rent payment,
then Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand a late charge equal to ten percent
(10%) of the amount of all installments of Minimum Rent or Additional Rent not
paid on the due date. Landlord and Tenant agree that this late charge represents
a reasonable estimate of such costs and expenses and is fair compensation to
Landlord for the loss suffered from such nonpayment by Tenant.
10.5 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE; NO WAIVER. No right or remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved to Landlord is intended to be exclusive of any other
right or remedy, and each and every right and remedy shall be cumulative and in
addition to any other right or remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity. No failure of Landlord to insist at any time upon
the strict performance of any provision of this Lease or to exercise any option,
right, power or remedy contained in this Lease shall be construed as a waiver,
modification or
-23-
<PAGE> 29
relinquishment thereof as to any similar or different breach
(future or otherwise) by Tenant. A receipt by Landlord of any rent or other sum
due hereunder (including any late charge) with knowledge of the breach of any
provision contained in this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach,
and no waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have
been made unless expressed in a writing signed by Landlord.
10.6 PERFORMANCE OF TENANT'S OBLIGATIONS BY LANDLORD. If
Tenant at any time shall fail to make any payment or perform any act on its part
required to be made or performed under this Lease, then Landlord may, without
waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligations or default of Tenant hereunder,
make any such payment or perform any such act for the account and at the expense
of Tenant, and may enter upon the Premises for the purpose of taking all such
action thereon as may be reasonably necessary therefor. No such entry shall be
deemed an eviction of Tenant. All sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary and
incidental costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred in connection with the performance of any
such act by Landlord, together with interest at the rate of the Prime Rate as
reported daily by the Wall Street Journal plus 5% (or if said interest rate is
violative of any applicable statute or law, then the maximum interest rate
allowable) from the date of the making of such payment or the incurring of such
costs and expenses by Landlord, shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord on
demand.
11. SECURITY DEPOSIT. On the date hereof, Tenant or Guarantor
shall deposit with Landlord a sum equal to $ ____________________________
_____________________________________________________ in cash representing a
security deposit against the faithful performance of the terms and conditions
contained in this Lease; and monthly after the Reset Date for four (4) months,
Tenant or Guarantor shall deposit with Landlord a sum equal to $ _______
_________________________________________________________________ in cash
representing additional security deposit against the faithful performance of the
terms and conditions contained in this Lease. Landlord shall not be deemed a
trustee as to such deposit and shall have the right to commingle any such
security deposit with its own or other funds. Interest on any such cash deposit
shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant or Guarantor, as applicable, on a quarterly
basis in arrears at the average rate earned in such period on Landlord's cash
and cash equivalent investments. In the event Tenant has fully complied with the
terms of this Lease and no Event of Default exists, the remaining balance of the
security deposit shall be returned to Tenant, without interest, within thirty
(30) days after the expiration of the Term provided, however, Landlord shall
have the right to retain and expend such remaining balance for cleaning and
repairing the Premises if Tenant shall fail to deliver the Premises at the
termination or expiration of this Lease in a neat and clean condition and in as
good a condition as existed at the date of possession and occupancy of same,
ordinary wear and tear only excepted.
12. DAMAGE BY FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY.
12.1 RECONSTRUCTION USING INSURANCE. In the event of the
damage or destruction of the Premises, Tenant shall forthwith notify Landlord
and diligently repair or reconstruct the same to a like or better condition than
existed prior to such damage or destruction. Any net insurance proceeds payable
with respect to the casualty shall be used for the repair or reconstruction of
the Premises pursuant to reasonable disbursement controls in favor of Landlord.
-24-
<PAGE> 30
If such proceeds are insufficient for such purposes, Tenant shall provide the
required additional funds.
12.2 SURPLUS PROCEEDS. If there remains any surplus of insurance
proceeds after the completion of the repair or reconstruction of the Premises,
such surplus shall belong to and be paid to Tenant.
12.3 NO RENT ABATEMENT. The rent payable under this Lease shall
not abate by reason of any damage or destruction of the Premises by reason of an
insured or uninsured casualty. Tenant hereby waives all rights under applicable
law to abate, reduce or offset rent by reason of such damage or destruction.
13. CONDEMNATION.
13.1 COMPLETE TAKING. If during the Term all or substantially
all of the Premises is taken or condemned by any competent public or
quasi-public authority, then Tenant may, at Tenant's election, made within
thirty (30) days of such taking by condemnation, terminate this Lease, and the
current Minimum Rent and Additional Rent shall be prorated as of the date of
such termination. The award payable upon such taking shall be allocated between
Landlord and Tenant as so allocated by the taking authority. In the absence of
such allocation by the taking authority, the award shall be allocated as agreed
by Landlord and Tenant. Failing such agreement within thirty (30) days after the
effective date of such taking, the award shall be allocated between Landlord and
Tenant pursuant to the appraisal procedure described on Exhibit "B" attached
hereto.
13.2 PARTIAL TAKING. In the event such condemnation proceeding
or right of eminent domain results in a taking of less than all or substantially
all of the Premises, the Minimum Rent and Additional Rental thereto shall be
abated to the same extent as the diminution in the fair market value of the
Premises by reason of the condemnation. Such diminution in the fair market value
shall be as agreed between Landlord and Tenant, but failing such agreement
within thirty (30) days of the effective date of the condemnation such fair
market value will be determined by appraisal pursuant to Exhibit "B" attached
hereto. Landlord shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all awards for
the partial taking and damage and Tenant shall not be entitled to receive or
retain any such award for any reason. Landlord's Investment will be reduced for
all purposes under this Lease by reason of any award paid to Landlord under this
Section 13.2.
13.3 LEASE REMAINS IN EFFECT. Except as provided above, this
Lease shall not terminate and shall remain in full force and effect in the event
of a taking or condemnation of the Premises, or any portion thereof, and Tenant
hereby waives all rights under applicable law to abate, reduce or offset rent by
reason of such taking.
14. PROVISIONS ON TERMINATION OF TERM.
14.1 SURRENDER OF POSSESSION. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, Tenant shall, on or before the last day of the Term, or upon
earlier termination of this Lease, surrender to Landlord the Premises (including
all patient charts and resident records along with appropriate
-25-
<PAGE> 31
patient and resident consents if necessary) in good condition and repair,
ordinary wear and tear excepted.
14.2 REMOVAL OF PERSONAL PROPERTY. If Tenant is not then in
default hereunder Tenant shall have the right in connection with the surrender
of the Premises to remove from the Premises all Tenant Personal Property but not
the Landlord Personal Property (including the Landlord Personal Property
replaced by Tenant or required by the state in which the Premises is located or
any other governmental entity to operate the Premises for the purpose set forth
in Section 5.3 above). Any such removal shall be done in a workmanlike manner
leaving the Premises in good and presentable condition and appearance, including
repair of any damage caused by such removal. At the end of the Term or upon the
earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall return the Premises to Landlord
with the Landlord Personal Property (or replacements thereof) in the same
condition and utility as was delivered to Tenant at the commencement of the
Term, normal wear and tear excepted.
14.3 TITLE TO PERSONAL PROPERTY NOT REMOVED. Title to any of
Tenant Personal Property which is not removed by Tenant upon the expiration of
the Term shall, at Landlord's election, vest in Landlord; provided, however,
that Landlord may remove and dispose at Tenant's expense of any or all of such
Tenant Personal Property which is not so removed by Tenant without obligation or
accounting to the Tenant.
14.4 MANAGEMENT OF PREMISES. Upon the expiration or earlier
termination of the Term, Landlord or its designee may elect, upon written notice
to Tenant and to the extent permitted by applicable law, to assume the
responsibilities and obligations for the management and operation of the
Premises, and Tenant agrees to cooperate fully with Landlord or its designee to
accomplish the transfer of such management and operation without interrupting
the operation of the Premises. Tenant shall not commit any act or be remiss in
the undertaking of any act that would jeopardize any licensure or certification
of the facility, and Tenant shall, at the time of any such surrender and to the
extent permitted by applicable law, comply with all requests for an orderly
transfer of (a) the Applicable Facility license, (b) any Medicare and Medicaid
(or any successor program) certifications and (if applicable), and (c)
possession of the Premises. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the
Term, Tenant shall promptly deliver copies of all of Tenant's books and records
relating to the Premises and its operations to Landlord.
14.5 CORRECTION OF DEFICIENCIES. Upon termination or
cancellation of this Lease, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord for any loss,
damage, cost or expense incurred by Landlord to correct all deficiencies of a
physical nature identified by the governmental agency responsible for licensing
Facilities in the state in which the Premises is located and/or the governmental
agency responsible for administering Medicare or Medicaid payments or any other
government agency or Medicare or Medicaid (or any successor programs) providers
in the course of the change of ownership inspection and audit.
15. NOTES AND DEMANDS. All notices and demands, certificates,
requests, consents, approvals, and other similar instruments under this Lease
shall be in writing and shall be sent by personal delivery or by either (a)
United States certified or registered mail, return receipt

<PAGE> 33
16. RIGHT OF ENTRY; EXAMINATION OF RECORDS. Landlord and its
representative may enter the Premises at any reasonable time after reasonable
notice to Tenant for the purpose of inspecting the Premises for any reason,
including, without limitation, Tenant's default under this Lease, or to exhibit
the Premises for sale, lease or mortgage financing, or posting notices of
default, or non-responsibility under any mechanic's or materialman's lien law or
to otherwise inspect the Premises for compliance with the terms of this Lease.
Any such entry shall not unreasonably interfere with residents, patients,
patient care, or any other of Tenant's operations. During normal business hours
and to the extent permitted by applicable law, Tenant will permit Landlord and
Landlord's representatives, inspectors and consultants to examine all contracts,
books and records relating to Tenant's operations at the Premises, whether kept
at the Premises or at some other location, including, without limitation,
Tenant's financial records.
17. LANDLORD MAY GRANT LIENS. Without the consent of Tenant, Landlord
may, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below in this Section 17,
from time to time, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause to exist
any lien, encumbrance or title retention agreement ("ENCUMBRANCE") upon the
Premises, or any portion thereof or interest therein (including this Lease),
whether to secure any borrowing or other means of financing or refinancing or
otherwise. Any such Encumbrance shall provide that it is subject to the rights
of Tenant under this Lease, and shall further provide that so long as no Event
of Default shall have occurred under this Lease, Tenant's occupancy hereunder,
including, but without limitation, Tenant's right of quiet enjoyment provided in
Section 18, shall not be disturbed in the event any such lienholder or any other
person takes possession of the Premises through foreclosure proceeding or
otherwise. Upon the request of Landlord, Tenant shall subordinate this Lease to
the lien of a new Encumbrance on the Premises; provided, however, if Tenant is
not then in default hereunder, then Tenant shall not be required to so
subordinate this Lease unless the holder or beneficiary of such Encumbrance
executes a nondisturbance agreement in conformity with the provisions of Section
18 hereof.
18. SUBORDINATION AND NON-DISTURBANCE. (a) Concurrently with the
execution and delivery of any fee mortgage entered into after the date hereof,
provided that the Tenant executes and delivers an agreement of the type
described in the following paragraph, Landlord shall obtain and deliver to
Tenant an agreement by the holder of such fee mortgage, pursuant to which, the
applicable fee mortgagee (i) consents to this Lease, and (ii) agrees that,
notwithstanding the terms of the applicable fee mortgage held by such fee
mortgagee, or any default, expiration, termination, foreclosure, sale, entry or
other act or omission under or pursuant to such fee mortgage, or any transfer in
lieu of foreclosure, (A) Tenant's rights under this Lease shall not be disturbed
so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder, nor shall this Lease be
terminated or cancelled at any time, except in the event that Landlord shall
have the right to terminate this Lease under the terms and provisions expressly
set forth herein, (B) BCC's option to purchase the Premises shall remain in
force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Master Agreement, and (C) in the
event that BCC or its Affiliate elects its option to purchase the Premises and
performs all of its obligations hereunder in connection with any such election,
the holder of the fee mortgage shall release its fee mortgage upon payment by
BCC or its Affiliate of the purchase price required under the Master Agreement.
(b) At the request from time to time of any fee mortgagee, Tenant shall
(i) subordinate this Lease and all of Tenant's rights and estate hereunder to
the fee mortgage held by such fee mortgagee, and (ii) agree that Tenant will
attorn to and recognize such fee mortgagee or the
-28-
<PAGE> 34
purchaser at any foreclosure sale or any sale under a power of sale contained in
any such fee mortgage as Landlord under this Lease for the balance of the Term
then remaining. To effect the intent and purpose of the immediately preceding
sentence, Tenant agrees to execute and deliver such instruments in recordable
form as are reasonably requested by Landlord or the applicable fee mortgagee;
provided, however, that such fee mortgagee simultaneously executes, delivers and
records a written agreement of the type described in Section 18(a) above.
19. QUIET ENJOYMENT. So long as there is no Event of Default by
Tenant, Landlord covenants and agrees that Tenant shall peaceably and quietly
have, hold and enjoy the Premises for the Term, free of any claim or other
action not caused or created by Tenant (excepting, however, intrusion of
Tenant's quiet enjoyment occasioned by condemnation or destruction of the
property as referred to in Sections 12 and 13 hereof).
20. EASEMENTS, ETC. Landlord will, from time to time, at the request
of Tenant and at Tenant's cost and expense, but subject to the approval of
Landlord (a) grant easements and other rights in the nature of easements, (b)
release existing easements or other rights in the nature of easements which are
for the benefit of the Premises, (c) dedicate or transfer unimproved portions of
the Premises for road, highway or other public purposes, (d) execute petitions
to have the Premises annexed to any municipal corporation or utility district,
(e) execute amendments to any covenants and restrictions affecting the Premises,
and (f) execute and deliver to any person such instruments as may be necessary
or appropriate to confirm or effect such grants, releases, dedications and
transfers (to the extent of its interest in the Premises). Along with any such
request, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an Officer's Certificate stating (and
such other confirming information as Landlord may reasonably require) that such
grant, release, dedication, transfer, petition or amendment has no adverse
effect on the intended use of the Premises and does not reduce the value
thereof.
21. APPLICABLE LAW. This Lease shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the internal laws of the state in which the Premises is located
without regard to the conflict of laws rules of such State.
22. PRESERVATION OF GROSS REVENUES.
22.1 Tenant acknowledges that a fair return to Landlord on its
investment in the Premises is dependent, in part, on the concentration on the
Premises during the Term of the Facility business of Tenant and its Affiliates
in the geographical area of the Premises. Tenant further acknowledges that the
diversion of residents and/or patient care activities from the Premises to other
facilities owned or operated by Tenant or its Affiliates at or near the end of
the Term will have a material adverse impact on the value and utility of the
Premises.
22.1.1 Therefore, Tenant agrees that during the Term, and
for a period of one (1) year thereafter, neither Tenant nor any
of its Affiliates shall, without the prior written consent of
Landlord, operate, own, participate in or otherwise receive
revenues from any other facility or institution providing
services or similar goods to those provided on or in connection
with the Premises and the permitted use thereof as contemplated
under this Lease, within a five (5) mile radius of the Premises;
-29-
<PAGE> 35
provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 22.1.1
shall not apply to the operation or ownership of any licensed
skilled nursing facility or licensed acute care hospital
facility.
22.1.2 In addition, Tenant hereby covenants and agrees
that for a period of one (1) year following the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease, neither Tenant nor any of its
Affiliates shall, without prior written consent of Landlord,
solicit for hire, engage or otherwise employ any management or
supervisory personnel working on or in connection with the
Premises and not also working at any other facility owned or
operated by BCC or any Affiliate of BCC.
22.2 Except as required for medically appropriate reasons,
prior to and for a period of one (1) year after Lease termination, neither
Tenant nor any of its Affiliates will recommend or solicit the removal or
transfer of any resident or patient from the Premises to any other assisted
living, senior housing, or retirement housing facility; provided, however, the
provisions of this Section 22.2 shall not apply to the removal or transfer of a
resident or patient to a licensed skilled nursing facility or licensed acute
care hospital facility.
22.3 Tenant hereby specifically acknowledges and agrees that
the temporal, geographical and other restrictions contained in this Section 22
are reasonable and necessary to protect the business and prospects of Landlord,
and that the enforcement of the provisions of this Section 22 will not work an
undue hardship on Tenant. Tenant further agrees that in the event either the
length of time, geographical or any other restrictions, or portion thereof, set
forth in this Section 22 is overly restrictive and unenforceable in any court
proceeding, the court may reduce or modify such restrictions, but only to the
extent necessary, to those which it deems reasonable and enforceable under the
circumstances, and the parties agree that the restrictions of this Section 22
will remain in full force and effect as reduced or modified. Tenant further
agrees and acknowledges that Landlord does not have an adequate remedy at law
for the breach or threatened breach by Tenant of the covenants contained in this
Section 22, and Tenant therefore specifically agrees that Landlord may, in
addition to other remedies which may be available to Landlord hereunder, file a
suit in equity to enjoin Tenant from such breach or threatened breach, without
the necessity of posting any bond. Tenant further agrees, in the event that any
provision of this Section 22 is held to be invalid or against public policy, the
remaining provisions of this Section 22 and the remainder of this Lease shall
not be affected thereby.
23. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS.
23.1 HAZARDOUS MATERIAL COVENANTS. Tenant's use of the
Premises shall comply with all Hazardous Materials Laws. In the event any
Environmental Activities occur or are suspected to have occurred in violation of
any Hazardous Materials Laws or if Tenant has received any Hazardous Materials
Claim against the Premises, Tenant shall promptly obtain all permits and
approvals necessary to remedy any such actual or suspected problem through the
removal of Hazardous Materials or otherwise, and upon Landlord's approval of the
remediation plan (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed),
remedy any such problem to the satisfaction of Landlord and all applicable
governmental authorities, in accordance with all Hazardous Materials Laws and
good business practices.
-30-
<PAGE> 36
23.2 TENANT NOTICES TO LANDLORD. Tenant shall immediately
advise Landlord in writing of:
23.2.1 any Environmental Activities in violation of any
Hazardous Materials Laws;
23.2.2 any Hazardous Materials Claims against Tenant or
the Premises;
23.2.3 any remedial action taken by Tenant in response
to any Hazardous Materials Claims or any Hazardous Materials on,
under or about the Premises in violation of any Hazardous
Materials Laws;
23.2.4 Tenant's discovery of any occurrence or condition
on or in a one (1) mile radius of the Premises that materially
increase the risk that the Premises will be exposed to Hazardous
Materials; and
23.2.5 all communications to or from Tenant, any
governmental authority or any other person relating to Hazardous
Materials Laws or Hazardous Materials Claims with respect to the

<PAGE> 37

without limitation, any materials or substances that are listed in the United
States Department of Transportation Hazardous Materials Table (49 CFR 172.101)

ordinances, regulations, rules, orders, guidelines or policies relating to the

24. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. (a) Tenant shall not, without the
prior written consent of Landlord, which may be withheld at Landlord's sole
discretion, voluntarily or involuntarily assign, mortgage, encumber or
hypothecate this Lease or any interest herein or sublet the Premises or any part
thereof. For the purposes of this Lease, the following, without limitation,
shall be considered an assignment of this Lease by Tenant: (i) a management or
similar agreement (other than any such agreement between Tenant and BCC or an
Affiliate of BCC), and (ii) any Change in Control (as such term is defined in
Section 10.1.6 hereof) of Tenant. Any of the foregoing acts without such consent
shall be void but shall, at the option of Landlord in its sole discretion,
constitute an Event of Default giving rise to Landlord's right, among other
things, to terminate this Lease. Without limiting the foregoing, this Lease
shall not, nor shall any interest of Tenant herein, be assigned or encumbered by
operation of law without the prior written consent of Landlord which may be
withheld at Landlord's sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant
may without Landlord's consent assign this Lease or sublet all (but not less
than all) of the Premises thereof to an Affiliate of Tenant or Guarantor,
provided that such Affiliate fully assumes the obligations of Tenant under this
Lease, BCC has approved such assignment in writing, Tenant remains fully liable
under this Lease, Guarantor remains fully liable with respect to its guaranty of
this Lease, the use of the Premises remains unchanged, and no such assignment or
sublease shall be valid and no such Affiliate shall take possession of the
Premises until an executed counterpart of such assignment or sublease has been
delivered to Landlord. Anything contained in this Lease to the contrary
notwithstanding, Tenant shall not sublet the Premises or any part thereof on any
basis such that the rental to be paid by the sublessee thereunder would be
based,
-32-
<PAGE> 38
in whole or in part, on either the income or profits derived by the business
activities of the sublessee, or any other formula, such that any portion of the
sublease rental received by Landlord would fail to qualify as "rents from real
property" within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the U.S. Internal Revenue
Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto.
(b) If no Event of Default exists under this Lease and no event of
default exists under the Master Agreement, the Development Agreement, the
Deposit Pledge Agreement, or the Working Capital Assurance Agreement, then
notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.1.6 above or Section 24(a) above to
the contrary, Tenant shall have the right, and Landlord hereby consents, to the
transfer, assignment or sale to either BCC or an Affiliate of BCC of all the
outstanding equity interests of Tenant pursuant to the Option Agreement or all
of the assets of Tenant pursuant to the Asset Purchase Option (as defined in the
Shortfall Funding Agreement); provided, however, should such purchase be made by
an Affiliate of BCC, BCC shall provide to Landlord a guaranty in form and
substance satisfactory to Landlord of all obligations of the successor Tenant
under this Lease; and provided, further, that BCC must give Landlord thirty (30)
days prior written notice of any such transfer, assignment or sale (without any
obligation for BCC to obtain Landlord's approval of any such transfer). In such
event, the initial Tenant and any guarantor of such Tenant's obligations to
Landlord (exclusive of BCC or a BCC Affiliate) shall be relieved of all
liability and obligations hereunder and to Landlord, and Landlord shall look
solely to BCC (and, if applicable, the BCC Affiliate acting as Tenant hereunder)
for the satisfaction of all such obligations owed to Landlord.
25. IDEMNIFICATION. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant
agrees to protect, indemnify, defend and save harmless Landlord, its directors,
officers, shareholders, agents and employees from and against any and all
foreseeable or unforeseeable liability, expense loss, costs, deficiency, fine,
penalty, or damage (including, without limitation, punitive or consequential
damages) of any kind or nature, including reasonable attorneys' fees, from any
suits, claims or demands, on account of any matter or thing, action or failure
to act arising out of or in connection with this Lease (including, without
limitation, the breach by Tenant of any of its obligations hereunder), the
Premises, or the operations of Tenant on the Premises, including, without
limitation, all Environmental Activities on the Premises, all Hazardous
Materials Claims (including, without limitation, any Claims arising out of any
Environmental Activities described in the "PHASE I REPORT", as defined in the
Purchase Agreement) or any violation by Tenant of a Hazardous Materials Law with
respect to the Premises. Upon receiving knowledge of any suit, claim or demand
asserted by a third party that Landlord believes is covered by this indemnity,
Landlord shall give Tenant notice of the matter. Tenant shall defend Landlord
against such matter at Tenant's sole cost and expense (including, without
limitation, Landlord's reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) with legal counsel
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Landlord may elect to defend the matter
with its own counsel at Tenant's expense.
26. HOLDING OVER. If Tenant shall for any reason remain in
possession of the Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease, such possession shall be a month-to-month tenancy during which time
Tenant shall pay as rental each month, one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the
aggregate of the monthly Minimum Rent payable with respect to the last Lease
Year plus Additional Rent allocable to the month, all additional charges
accruing during the month and all other sums, if any, payable by Tenant pursuant
to the provisions of this Lease with respect to
-33-
<PAGE> 39
the Premises. Nothing contained herein shall constitute the consent, express or
implied, of Landlord to the holding over of Tenant after the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease, nor shall anything contained herein be deemed
to limit Landlord's remedies pursuant to this Lease or otherwise available to
Landlord at law or in equity.
27. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Tenant or Landlord, as applicable, shall,
at any time upon not less than five (5) days prior written request by the
requesting party, execute, acknowledge and deliver to the requesting party or
its designee a statement in writing, executed by an officer or general partner
of Tenant or Landlord (as applicable), certifying (a) that this Lease is
unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been any
modifications, that this Lease is in full force and effect as modified, and
setting forth such modifications), (b) the dates to which Minimum Rent,
Additional Rent and additional charges hereunder have been paid, (c) that no
default by either Landlord or Tenant exists hereunder or specifying each such
default, and (d) as to such other matters as the requesting party may reasonably
request.
28. CONVEYANCE BY LANDLORD. If Landlord or any successor owner of
the Premises shall convey the Premises in accordance with the terms hereof,
Landlord or such successor owner shall thereupon be released from all future
liabilities and obligations of Landlord under this Lease arising or accruing
from and after the date of such conveyance or other transfer as to the Premises
and all such future liabilities and obligations shall thereupon be binding upon
the new owner.
29. ACCESS TO RECORDS. To the extent required by applicable law and
until the expiration of four (4) years after the furnishing of services pursuant
to this Lease, the Landlord shall make available (and, if Landlord carries out
any of the duties under this Lease on behalf of Landlord or Tenant through a
subcontract with a related organization, and such subcontract has a value or
cost of Ten Thousand Dollars [$10,000.00] or more during any twelve [12] month
period, then such subcontract shall contain a clause to the effect that the
applicable subcontractor shall make available) the books, documents and records
of the Landlord (or such subcontractor) that are necessary to verify the nature
and extent of such costs in connection with said services, upon request by the
Secretary of Health and Human Services, the U.S. Comptroller General, or their
respective duly authorized representatives.
30. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive any
rights to trial by jury in any action, proceedings or counterclaim brought by
either of the parties against the other in connection with any matter whatsoever
arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, including, without
limitation, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, Tenant's use and occupancy
of the Premises, or any claim of injury or damage relating to the foregoing or
the enforcement of any remedy hereunder.
31. ATTORNEYS' FEES. If Landlord or Tenant brings any action to
interpret or enforce this Lease, or for damages for any alleged breach hereof,
the prevailing party in any such action shall be entitled to reasonable
attorneys' fees and costs as awarded by the court in addition to all other
recovery, damages and costs.
-34-
<PAGE> 40
32. SEVERABILITY. In the event any part or provision of the Lease
shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portion of
this Lease shall nevertheless continue in full force and effect.
33. COUNTERPARTS. This Lease may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall
constitute one and the same agreement.
34. BINDING EFFECT. Subject to the provisions of Section 24 above,
this Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Landlord and Tenant
and their respective successors in interest and assigns.
35. WAIVER AND SUBROGATION. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive to each
other all rights of subrogation which any insurance carrier, or either of them,
may have as to the Landlord or Tenant by reason of any provision in any policy
of insurance issued to Landlord or Tenant, provided such waiver does not thereby
invalidate the policy of insurance.
36. MEMORANDUM OF LEASE. If requested by Landlord or Tenant, then
Landlord and Tenant shall execute a memorandum of lease in which reference to
this Lease shall be made, in form suitable for recording under the laws of the
state in which the Premises is located. Tenant shall pay all costs and expenses
of preparing and recording such memorandum of this Lease.
37. INCORPORATION OF RECITALS AND ATTACHMENTS. The recitals and
exhibits, schedules, addenda and other attachments to this Lease are hereby
incorporated into this Lease and made a part hereof.
38. TITLES AND HEADINGS. The titles and headings of sections of this
Lease are intended for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the
meaning or construction of any provision of this Lease.
39. USURY SAVINGS CLAUSE. The parties intend that their relationship
be that of lessor and lessee only. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be
deemed or construed to constitute an extension of credit by Landlord to Tenant,
nor shall this Lease be deemed to be a partnership or venture agreement between
Landlord and Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any payment
made to Landlord hereunder is deemed to violate any applicable laws regarding
usury, the portion of any payment deemed to be usurious shall be held by
Landlord to pay the future obligations of Tenant as such obligations arise and,
in the event Tenant discharges and performs all obligations hereunder, such
funds will be reimbursed to Tenant upon the expiration of the Term. No interest
shall be paid on any such funds held by Landlord.
40. JOINT AND SEVERAL. If more than one person or entity is the
Tenant hereunder, the liability and obligations of such persons or entities
under this Lease shall be joint and several.
41. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS. All of
the obligations, representations, warranties and covenants of Tenant under this
Lease shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term,
including, without limitation, Tenant's obligations to pay rent
-35-
<PAGE> 41
and other sums under this Lease following the occurrence of an Event of Default
and the termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 10.2.2 above.
42. INTERPRETATION. Both Landlord and Tenant have been represented
by counsel and this Lease has been freely and fairly negotiated. Consequently,
all provisions of this Lease shall be interpreted according to their fair
meaning and shall not be strictly construed against any party.
43. SUBSTITUTION OF PROPERTY FOR THE PREMISES. Substitution of
Property for the Premises. In the event Landlord accepts an offer by Tenant to
substitute other property for the Premises, and provided that no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Tenant shall have the right
(subject to such conditions as Landlord may reasonably require, and upon notice
to Landlord) to substitute one or more properties (collectively referred to as
"SUBSTITUTE PROPERTIES" or individually as a "SUBSTITUTE PROPERTY") for the
Premises on a monthly payment date specified in such notice (the "SUBSTITUTION
DATE") occurring not less than ninety (90) days after receipt by Landlord 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 substitution for the Premises shall require the prior written consent of
Landlord which shall be within the sole discretion of Landlord.

1.2.1 Not more than thirty (30) days before or after the
date which is twelve (12) months prior to the end of the then

Tenant desires to exercise its right to extend the then current
Term for one (1) Renewal Term.
1.2.2 There shall be no Event of Default under this Lease
or any of the Other Leases, either on the date of Tenant's notice

of the then current Term of this Lease.
-2-
<PAGE> 5
1.2.3 The tenants of all the Other Leases concurrently
exercise their respective rights to extend the then current term
of such Other Leases, and the terms and conditions of renewal of
such Other Leases are fully satisfied, all as provided in the
Master Agreement and such Other Leases.
1.2.4 All other provisions of this Lease shall remain in
full force and effect and shall continuously apply throughout the
Renewal Term(s).
2. RENT. During the Initial Term and all Renewal Terms Tenant shall pay
to Landlord minimum rent ("MINIMUM RENT") and additional rent ("ADDITIONAL
RENT") as follows:
2.1 INITIAL TERM MINIMUM RENT. During the Initial Term, the
Minimum Rent shall accrue or be paid to Landlord by Tenant monthly in advance
and shall be calculated as follows:
2.1.1 CONSTRUCTION PERIOD MINIMUM RENT. During the
Initial Term, but prior to the earliest to occur of (A)
Substantial Completion, or (B) the Completion Date (both as
defined in the Development Agreement) (such earliest date being
hereinafter in this Lease referred to as the "RESET DATE"),
Minimum Rent shall be calculated as follows:
(i) Landlord shall determine in good faith based
on recognized industry sources the London Interbank Offering Rate
for 30 day advances (the "LIBOR RATE") in effect on the first
business day of each calendar month before the Reset Date occurs;
(ii) During each calendar month in the Initial
Term until the Reset Date occurs, Minimum Rent (referred to
herein as the "CONSTRUCTION PERIOD MINIMUM RENT") shall accrue
but shall not be paid:
(A) on the total outstanding from time to time of
(x) _________________________________________________
________________ (hereinafter referred to as the "LAND
COST") plus (y) all advances made under the Development
Agreement with respect to Work (as defined in the
Development Agreement) plus (z) all previously accrued
but unpaid Construction Period Minimum Rent;
(B) at a rate equal to one twelfth (1/12) of the
sum of (x) the LIBOR Rate in affect for the applicable
month, plus (y) one hundred fifty (150) basis points;
(iii) The accrual of Construction Period Minimum
Rent calculated under this Section 2.1.1 with respect to advances
made other than on the first day of a calendar month shall be
prorated in the month in which advances are made on the basis of
a thirty (30) day month and actual days elapsed;
-3-
<PAGE> 6
2.1.2 POST-CONSTRUCTION MINIMUM RENT. On the Reset Date,
the monthly Minimum Rent with respect to the total of (A) the
Land Cost plus (B) all advances under the Development Agreement
for Work plus (C) all accrued but unpaid Construction Period
Minimum Rent shall be reset at an amount equal to one-twelfth
(1/12) of the product of (I) the total of the Land Cost plus such
advances made for Work plus accrued but unpaid Construction
Period Minimum Rent, times (II) three hundred thirty (330) basis
points over the twenty (20) day average 10 year United States
Treasury rate in effect on the Reset Date (the "INITIAL TERM
POST-CONSTRUCTION MINIMUM RENT").
2.1.3 DEFERRAL PERIOD.
(i) The Initial Term Post-Construction Minimum
Rent shall accrue but not be paid until one hundred twenty (120)
days after the Reset Date. The total amount which accrues during
such one hundred twenty (120) day period is referred to herein as
the "BASE DEFERRED RENT" and such one hundred twenty (120) day
period is referred to as the "DEFERRAL PERIOD". With respect to
the Deferral Period, Tenant hereby agrees to pay additional
deferred rent in an amount equal to six percent (6%) of the Base
Deferred Rent (hereinafter referred to as the "ADDITIONAL
DEFERRED RENT"). The sum of the Base Deferred Rent plus the
Additional Deferred Rent is referred to herein as the "DEFERRED
RENT AMOUNT";
(ii) Commencing with the Payment Commencement
Date (as such term is defined in the next sentence) and on the
first business day of each calendar month thereafter during the
Initial Term, the Minimum Rent payable during the Initial Term
shall include the Initial Term Post-Construction Minimum Rent and
the Amortizing Payment (as defined below). As used herein, the
"PAYMENT COMMENCEMENT DATE" shall mean the first business day of
the calendar month immediately following the expiration of the
Deferral Period. If the Reset Date falls on other than the first
business day of a calendar month, on the Payment Commencement
Date, Tenant shall also pay a prorated amount of Initial Term
Post-Construction Minimum Rent for the period from the end of the
Deferral Period to the Payment Commencement Date, based on a
thirty (30) day month and actual days elapsed;
(iii) Commencing on the Payment Commencement Date
and monthly thereafter during the Initial Term, the Minimum Rent
payable by Tenant shall include an amount (the "AMORTIZING
PAYMENT") equal to (A) the Deferred Rent Amount, divided by (B)
the number of calendar months remaining after the end of the
Deferral Period through the end of the Initial Term;
(iv) Therefore, during the Initial Term but
before the end of the Deferral Period, although the Deferred Rent
Amount shall accrue and be payable over the balance of the
Initial Term, there shall be no monthly Minimum Rent payable by
Tenant; and
-4-
<PAGE> 7
(v) After the end of the Deferral Period and
continuing for the remainder of the Initial Term, monthly Minimum
Rent payable by Tenant consists of (A) the Initial Term
Post-Construction Minimum Rent plus (B) the Amortizing Payment.
2.2 INITIAL TERM ADDITIONAL RENT.
2.2.1 During the second Lease Year of the Initial Term,
Tenant agrees to pay Additional Rent to Landlord on a monthly
basis in advance on the first business day of each calendar
month. Such Additional Rent (which shall be expressed as an
annual amount but shall be payable in equal monthly installments)
shall be equal to the total Minimum Rent payable by Tenant with
respect to the first Lease Year times the percentage increase
(the "CPI INCREASE") in the United States Department of Labor,
Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index for All Urban
Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, United States Average,
Subgroup "All Items" (1982-1984=100) (the "CPI"). In no event
shall a CPI Increase calculated under this Lease be a negative
number. For purposes of this Section 2.2.1, the CPI Increase
shall be calculated by comparing the CPI in effect on January 1,
1998 to the CPI in effect on January 1, 1999.
2.2.2 Commencing with the third Lease Year and continuing
thereafter during the Initial Term, Tenant agrees to pay
Additional Rent to Landlord on a monthly basis in arrears on the
fifteenth (15th) day of each calendar month; provided, however,
if such payment date falls on a weekend or federal holiday,
Tenant shall make such payment on the first business day
immediately preceding such payment date. Such Additional Rent
shall be equal to the sum of (a) eleven percent (11%) of the
amount by which the Gross Revenues for the applicable Lease Year
through the applicable month exceed the Gross Revenues for the
applicable portion of the Base Year, minus (b) all Additional
Rent previously paid by Tenant with respect to such Lease Year.
The obligation to make a payment of Additional Rent which accrues
during the Term shall survive the termination of this Lease and
be payable as if the Lease was still in effect.
2.2.3 "GROSS REVENUES" shall be calculated according to
generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied
("GAAP") and shall be defined as all revenues generated by the
operation, sublease and/or use of the Premises in any way,
excluding (a) contractual allowances during the Term for billings
not paid by or received from the appropriate governmental
agencies or third party providers; (b) federal, state or local
sales or excise taxes and any tax based upon or measured by said
revenues which is added to or made a part of the amount billed to
the patient or resident or other recipient of such services or
goods, whether included in the billing or stated separately; (c)
allowances according to GAAP or uncollectible accounts; (d) all
proper patient or resident billing credits; and (e) deposits
refundable to patients or residents of the applicable
-5-
<PAGE> 8
Facility. To the extent any portion of the Premises is subleased
or occupied by an Affiliate of Tenant, Gross Revenues calculated
for all purposes of this Lease (including, without limitation,
the determination of the Additional Rent payable under this
Lease) shall include the Gross Revenues of such sublessee with
respect to the premises demised under the applicable sublease
(i.e., the Gross Revenues generated from the operations conducted
on such subleased portion of the Premises) and the rent received
or receivable from such sublessee pursuant to such subleases
shall be excluded from Gross Revenues for all such purposes. As
to any sublease between Tenant and a non-Affiliate of Tenant,
only the rental actually received by Tenant from such
non-Affiliate shall be included in Gross Revenues.
2.2.4 "LEASE YEAR" shall be defined as the twelve (12)
month periods commencing on July 1 of each year of the Term.
2.2.5 The "BASE YEAR" during the Initial Term shall mean
the second Lease Year.
2.2.6 (a) the term "AFFILIATE" is defined to mean with
respect to any person or entity, any other person or entity which
controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the
first person or entity, and the term "AFFILIATES" is defined to
mean any group of such persons or entities; (b) the term
"CONTROL" is expressly deemed to include any actual discretion or
power to direct the affairs of the controlled person or entity,
either directly or through a chain of ownership or control
(regardless of actual ownership); (c) a general partner, manager,
or managing member of a partnership or limited liability company,
and any owner of thirty percent (30%) or more of such general
partner or managing member, is expressly deemed to control such
partnership or limited liability company; (d) a person or entity
owning thirty percent (30%) or more of the common stock of a
corporation or thirty percent (30%) or more of the voting
interest in any other type of entity, is expressly deemed to
control such corporation or other entity; (e) a trustee of a
trust is expressly deemed to control such trust; (f) Tenant and
any entity which is an Affiliate of Tenant, are all expressly
deemed to be Affiliates of each other, and (g) BCC, Developer,
Manager and any entity which is an Affiliate of any of the
aforementioned entities, are all expressly deemed to be
Affiliates of each other. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term
"Affiliate" shall not include any person or entity that is an
equity owner or parent entity of Tenant; provided, however, this
exclusion provision shall not exclude BCC, Developer, Manager, or
Tenant as an Affiliate.
2.3 RENEWAL TERM MINIMUM RENT. The Minimum Rent for each Renewal
Term shall be expressed as an annual amount but shall be payable in advance in
equal monthly installments on the first business day of each calendar month.
Such annual Minimum Rent shall be equal to the product of:
2.3.1 the greater of (a) the fair market value of the
Premises on the date of Tenant's notice of exercise pursuant to
Section 1.2.1 or (b) Landlord's Adjusted Investment (defined
below) in the Premises, both as applicable; and
-6-
<PAGE> 9
2.3.2 a percentage equal to three hundred twenty (320)
basis points over the average 10 year United States Treasury rate
for the 20 day period ending on the date of Tenant's notice of
exercise pursuant to Section 1.2.1 above.
2.3.3 As used in this Lease, the term "LANDLORD'S
ADJUSTED INVESTMENT" means the product of Landlord's Investment
(defined below) times the percentage equal to the sum of (i) One
Hundred Percent (100%) plus (ii) the CPI Increase. For purposes
of this Section 2.3.3, the CPI Increase shall be determined by
comparing the CPI in effect as of January 1, 1998 to the CPI in
effect on January 1 of the calendar year during which the
applicable Renewal Term begins.
2.3.4 As used in this Lease, the term "LANDLORD'S
INVESTMENT" means the sum of (i) the Land Cost, plus (ii) all
amounts advanced by Landlord pursuant to Section 5.7 below, plus
(iii) all amounts advanced by Landlord under the Development
Agreement for Work, plus (iv) the total accrued Construction
Period Minimum Rent, plus (v) the total accrued Deferred Rent
Amount (but only to the extent such Deferred Rent Amount remains
unamortized or unpaid as of this calculation), minus (vi) any net
award paid to Landlord pursuant to Section 13.1 or Section 13.2
below.
If within ten (10) days of the date of Tenant's notice of exercise pursuant to
Section 1.2.1 above, Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on the fair market
value of the Premises for purposes of this calculation, such fair market value
shall be established by the appraisal process described on EXHIBIT "B" attached
hereto and incorporated herein for all purposes. The fair market value for
purposes of determining the Minimum Rent for the applicable Renewal Term must be
finally determined by such appraisal process on or before a date ninety (90)
days after Tenant's notice of exercise pursuant to Section 1.2.1 above or Tenant
shall lose its right to extend the Term. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and
agree that this Section is designed to establish a fair market Minimum Rent for
the Premises during the applicable Renewal Terms.
2.4 RENEWAL TERM ADDITIONAL RENT. Except during the first Lease
Year of any Renewal Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Additional Rent in each
Renewal Term on a monthly basis in arrears on the fifteenth (15th) day of each
calendar month; provided, however, if such payment date falls on a weekend or
federal holiday, Tenant shall make such payment on the first business day
immediately preceding such payment date. The Additional Rent for each Renewal
Term shall be calculated as provided in Section 2.2 hereof except that (i)
Section 2.2.1 hereof shall not apply, and (ii) the Base Year for the purpose of
determining such Additional Rent shall be the first Lease Year of the applicable
Renewal Term.
2.5 RENT CAP AND FLOOR.
2.5.1 Notwithstanding any of the other terms of this
Section 2
-7-
<PAGE> 10
but subject to Sections 2.5.2 and 2.5.3 below, the total of the
Minimum Rent and Additional Rent (the "TOTAL RENT") due during
each Lease Year shall not increase from one Lease Year to the
next by an amount in excess of the product of (i) three percent
(3%), times (ii) the Total Rent due during the immediately
preceding Lease Year.
2.5.2 The terms of Section 2.5.1 above shall have no
applicability in determining the calculation of the Total Rent
due with respect to the first Lease Year of any Renewal Term.
Notwithstanding any of the other terms of this Section 2, the
Total Rent due with respect to the first Lease Year of any
Renewal Term shall not exceed one hundred twenty-five percent
(125%) of the Total Rent due during the immediately preceding
Lease Year.
2.5.3 Notwithstanding any of the other terms of this
Section 2, the Total Rent due during any Lease Year shall not
under any circumstances be less than the Total Rent due during
the immediately preceding Lease Year.
2.5.4 To the extent that Section 2.5.1 above operates to
limit the Total Rent due for any Lease Year, the amount of rent
which would have otherwise been paid or payable by Tenant will be
carried forward on a cumulative basis and will be paid by Tenant
to Landlord in any subsequent Lease Year (other than the first
Lease Year of a Renewal Term) to the extent that the Total Rent
due for such subsequent Lease Year is less than one hundred three
percent (103%) of the Total Rent due during the Lease Year
immediately preceding such subsequent Lease Year.
2.5.5 Within sixty (60) days of the end of each Lease
Year, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a report in a form
mutually agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant, certified by an
officer or general partner of Tenant, as applicable, setting
forth the calculations required by the application of this
Section 2.5. If said report provides that Tenant owes Landlord
any sum of money, Tenant shall accompany such report delivered to
Landlord with such funds. If said report provides that Landlord
owes Tenant any sum of money, such sum shall be applied as a
credit against future installments of Minimum Rent and Additional
Rent due from Tenant to Landlord; provided, however, if such sum
is owed by Landlord to Tenant with respect to the last Lease Year
of the Term, Landlord shall pay such sum to Tenant within thirty
(30) days of Landlord's receipt of the report in question.
2.5.6 For the purpose of comparing the Total Rent due
from Lease Year to Lease Year pursuant to this Section 2.5, the
increase in Minimum Rent by reason of any disbursement by
Landlord pursuant to Section 5.7 of this Lease or pursuant to the
Development Agreement shall be treated as follows: (i) for the
purpose of comparing the Total Rent in the Lease Year in which
such disbursement is made against the Total Rent in the preceding
Lease Year, such increase in Minimum Rent shall be ignored, and
(ii) for the purpose of comparing the Total Rent in the Lease
Year in which such disbursement is made to the Total
-8-
<PAGE> 11
Rent in the following Lease Year, such increase in Minimum Rent
shall be deemed effective on the first day of the Lease Year in
which the disbursement is made.
2.5.7 For the purpose of comparing the Total Rent due
from Lease Year to Lease Year pursuant to this Section 2.5, the
Total Rent due during the second Lease Year shall be calculated
as if the Reset Date occurred during the first Lease Year.
2.6 PRORATION FOR PARTIAL PERIODS. The rent for any month during
the Term which begins or ends on other than the first or last calendar day of a
calendar month shall be prorated based on actual days elapsed.
2.7 FORMS FOR ADDITIONAL RENT AND ANNUAL RENT LIMITS. Tenant
shall accompany each payment of Additional Rent with a completed calculation in
the form of EXHIBIT "C" attached hereto and incorporated herein for all
purposes. Tenant shall accompany each payment of the first month's Minimum Rent
for each Lease Year with a completed calculation in the form of EXHIBIT "D"
attached hereto and incorporated herein for all purposes.
2.8 ABSOLUTE NET LEASE. All rent payments shall be absolutely net
to the Landlord free of Taxes (as hereinafter defined), assessments, utility
charges, operating expenses, refurnishings, insurance premiums or any other
charge or expense in connection with the Premises. All expenses and charges,
whether for upkeep, maintenance, repair, refurnishing, refurbishing,
restoration, replacement, insurance premiums, taxes, utilities, and other
operating or other charges of a like nature or otherwise, shall be paid by
Tenant. This provision is not in derogation of the specific provisions of this
Lease, but in expansion thereof and as an indication of the general intentions
of the parties hereto. Tenant shall continue to perform its obligations under
this Lease even if Tenant claims that Tenant has been damaged by any act or
omission of Landlord. Therefore, except for any credit due from Landlord in
favor of Tenant as provided in Section 2.5.5 of this Lease, Tenant shall at all
times remain obligated under this Lease without any right of set-off,
counterclaim, abatement, deduction, reduction or defense of any kind. Tenant's
sole right to recover damages against Landlord by reason of a breach or alleged
breach of Landlord's obligations under this Lease shall be to prove such damages
in a separate action against Landlord.
3. TAXES, ASSESSMENTS AND OTHER CHARGES:

of any fine, penalty, interest or other cost. If any of the foregoing may, at
the option of the taxpayer, be paid in installments, Tenant may exercise such

delinquency, fine, penalty, or further interest or costs may be added thereto.
3.2 PRORATION. At the commencement and at the end of the Term,
all Taxes shall be prorated.
3.3 RIGHT TO PROTEST. Landlord and/or Tenant shall have the

protest, Tenant shall diligently and continuously prosecute any such protest and
notwithstanding such protest Tenant shall pay any tax, assessment or other
charge before the imposition of any penalty or interest.

state in which the Premises is located or any local governmental entity or
authority as a result of or arising out of the sale of the Premises to the
Landlord by the Seller or the lease of the Premises by the Tenant from the
Landlord, or Landlord becomes liable for any reason for any liability of Tenant
for Taxes or for any fine, penalty, or interest thereon, whether such assessment
arises from the sole liability of Landlord or from the joint liability of
Landlord and Tenant, and Landlord pays such assessment or liability, Tenant
hereby agrees to pay to the Landlord an amount equal to the amount of such
assessment of Tax, fine, penalty and interest. Such payment shall be due and
payable to Landlord on or before the thirtieth (30th) day following Tenant's
receipt of a written notice from Landlord (pursuant to the notice provisions
under this Lease) of any such assessment and payment. Tenant shall have the
right, but not the obligation, to protest the amount or payment of such
assessment (in whole or in part) against the Landlord, and Landlord will
cooperate fully with Tenant in regard to such protest; provided that in the
event of any protest by Tenant, Landlord shall not incur any expense because of
such protest. Tenant shall diligently and continuously prosecute any such
protest. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant agrees to protect,
indemnify, defend and save harmless Landlord, its directors, officers,
shareholders, agents, and employees from and against any and all foreseeable or
unforeseeable liability, expense, loss, costs, deficiency, fine, penalty,
interest, or other damages (including, without limitation, punitive or
consequential damages, reasonable attorneys' fees, and expenses) arising out of
or due to any tax protest by Tenant pursuant to Sections 3.3 and 3.4 hereof
whether such items arise from the sole liability of Landlord or from the joint
liability of Landlord and Tenant. Upon receiving notice of or information
concerning any suit, claim or demand, including any proposed tax audit of
Landlord or any proposed tax assessment, asserted by a third party that Landlord
believes is covered by the indemnity set forth in this Lease, Landlord shall
give Tenant notice of same. Tenant shall defend Landlord against such matter at
Tenant's sole cost and expense with legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to
Landlord.

year during which the Upgrade Expenditures are to be made. The
term "UPGRADE EXPENDITURES" is defined to mean upgrades or
improvements to the Premises which have the effect of maintaining
or improving the competitive position of the Premises in its
marketplace. Non-exclusive examples of Upgrade Expenditures are
new or replacement wallpaper, tiles, window coverings, lighting
fixtures, painting, upgraded landscaping, carpeting,
architectural adornments, common area amenities and the like. It
is expressly understood that capital improvements or repairs
(such as but not limited to repairs or replacements to the
structural elements of the walls, parking area, or the roof or to
the electrical, plumbing, HVAC or other mechanical or structural
systems in the Premises) shall not be considered to be Upgrade
Expenditures. If Tenant fails to make at least the above amount
of Upgrade Expenditures, Tenant shall promptly on demand from
Landlord (but in no event more than five days) pay to Landlord
the applicable shortfall in Upgrade Expenditures. Such funds
shall be the sole property of Landlord and Landlord may in its
sole discretion provide such funds to Tenant to
-13-
<PAGE> 16
correct the shortfall in Upgrade Expenditures or may simply
retain such funds as supplemental rent hereunder.
5.2 REGULATORY COMPLIANCE.
5.2.1 Tenant and the Premises shall comply with all
federal, state and local licensing and other laws and regulations
applicable to the operation of a Facility as well as with the
certification requirements of Medicare and Medicaid (or any
successor program), if applicable. Further, Tenant shall ensure
that the Premises continue to be operated as at least a 60-unit
Facility, all without any suspension, revocation, decertification
or limitation. Further, Tenant shall not commit any act or
omission that would in any way violate any certificate of
occupancy affecting the Premises.
5.2.2 The Facility license and all other licenses and
certifications on or affecting the Property must be in the name
of Tenant, or another operator (the "OPERATOR") approved in
writing by Landlord, whose consent may not be unreasonably
withheld, except for transfers between Tenant and BCC or a BCC
Affiliate (provided Landlord receives at least 30 days prior
written notice of such transfer). Neither Tenant, BCC, a BCC
Affiliate, nor any such Operator may sell, transfer, assign,
encumber, sublet, permit to lapse, expire, become suspended, or
terminate any such licenses or certifications, operating rights
associated with the Premises and certification without the prior
written consent of Landlord which may not be unreasonably
withheld, except for transfers between Tenant and BCC or a BCC
Affiliate (provided Landlord receives at least 30 days prior
written notice of such transfer). Tenant understands and agrees,
and agrees to so direct Manager, any future manager, and/or such
other Operator (as applicable), that all such licenses are an
integral part of the Property and must remain at the Property
unless approved in writing by Landlord, which approval may be
unreasonably withheld. Tenant or such other Operator must provide
photocopies of all such certifications and licenses, and any and
all notices and reports requested by Landlord, within five (5)
days of receipt of such request.
5.2.3 All inspection fees, costs and charges associated
with a change of such licensure or certification shall be borne
solely by Tenant. Tenant shall at its sole cost make any
additions or alterations to the Premises necessitated by, or
imposed in connection with, a change of ownership inspection
survey for the transfer of operation of the Premises from Tenant
or Tenant's assignee or subtenant to Landlord or Landlord's
designee at the expiration or termination of the Term.
5.3 PERMITTED USE. Tenant shall continuously use and occupy the
Premises during the Term, as a personal care/assisted living facility with at
least 60 units or such additional units as may hereafter be permitted under this
Lease, and for such ancillary health care uses as are permitted by law and
acceptable to Landlord in the exercise of Landlord's reasonable discretion,
including, without limitation, outpatient rehab and Alzheimer services.

5.4 TENANT REPURCHASE OBLIGATION. If Tenant fails to comply with
Section 5.3 of this Lease, if any certification of the Premises under Medicare
or Medicaid (or any successor program) is ever granted and then later revoked,
suspended or materially limited, or if any material license relating to the
operation of the Premises is revoked, suspended or materially limited, then in
addition to Landlord's other rights and remedies under this Lease, Landlord
shall have the right, thirty (30) days after providing to Tenant written notice
an opportunity to cure, to put the Premises to Tenant. If Landlord exercises
such right, Tenant shall purchase the Premises from Landlord for a cash price
equal to the greater of (a) Landlord's Adjusted Investment, or (b) the fair
market value of the Premises on the date of Landlord's notice of exercise. Such
fair market value shall be as agreed between Landlord and Tenant. However,
failing such agreement within ten (10) days of Landlord's notice of exercise
under this Section, such fair market value shall be determined by the appraisal
process set forth in Exhibit "B" attached hereto. Within ninety (90) days of
Landlord's exercise of its put under this Section 5.4, such purchase shall be
consummated utilizing an escrow at a national title company selected by
Landlord. Such escrow shall be documented on such title company's standard sale
escrow instructions without representations or warranties and without any due
diligence or other contingencies in favor of the buyer. Tenant shall pay all
costs of such sale transaction. At the close of such sale, Landlord shall
deliver to Tenant title to the Premises free and clear of any liens created by
Landlord (other than liens, leases, subleases, and related instruments entered
into, caused or created in whole or in part by BCC, Developer, Manager, or their
respective Affiliates) subject only to those title exceptions shown on EXHIBIT
"E" attached hereto and incorporated herein for all purposes and any additional
title exceptions required or approved by Landlord in its sole discretion.
5.5 NO LIENS; PERMITTED CONTESTS. Tenant shall not cause or
permit any liens, levies or attachments to be placed or assessed against the
Premises or the operation thereof for any reason, other than the Permitted
Encumbrances. For purposes of this Section 5.5, the term "PERMITTED
ENCUMBRANCES" shall mean and include the Leasehold Mortgage and any recorded
financing statements related thereto. Tenant acknowledges and agrees the
interest of the Landlord in the Premises shall not be subject to liens for
improvements made by Tenant to the Premises. However, Tenant shall be permitted
in good faith and at its expense to contest the existence, amount or validity of
any lien upon the Premises by appropriate proceedings sufficient to prevent the
collection or other realization of the lien or claim so contested, as well as
the sale, forfeiture or loss of any of the Premises or any rent to satisfy the
same. Tenant shall provide Landlord with security satisfactory to Landlord in
Landlord's reasonable judgment to assure the foregoing. Each contest permitted
by this Section 5.5 shall be promptly and diligently prosecuted to a final
conclusion by Tenant.
5.6 ALTERATIONS BY TENANT. Tenant shall have the right of
altering, improving, replacing, modifying or expanding the facilities, equipment
or appliances in the Premises from time to time as it may determine is desirable
for the continuing and proper use and maintenance of the Premises under this
Lease; provided, however, that any alterations, improvements, replacements,
expansions or modifications in excess of One Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100
Dollars ($150,000.00) in any rolling twelve (12) month period shall require the
prior written consent of the Landlord. The cost of all such alterations,
improvements, replacements, modifications, expansions or other purchases,
whether
-15-
<PAGE> 18
undertaken as an on-going licensing, Medicare or Medicaid (or any successor
program) (if applicable), other regulatory requirement, or otherwise, shall be
borne solely and exclusively by Tenant (unless funded by Landlord under Section
5.7 below) and shall immediately become a part of the Premises and the property
of the Landlord subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease. All work done
in connection therewith shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner and in
compliance with all existing codes and regulations pertaining to the Premises
and shall comply with the requirements of insurance policies required under this
Lease. In the event any items of the Premises have become inadequate, obsolete
or worn out or require replacement (by direction of any regulatory body or
otherwise), Tenant shall remove such items and exchange or replace the same at
Tenant's sole cost and the same shall become part of the Premises and property
of the Landlord.
5.7 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS FUNDED BY LANDLORD. In the event Tenant
desires to make a capital improvement or a related series of capital
improvements to the Premises and if Tenant desires that Landlord fund the same,
Landlord shall, in its discretion and without obligation, within thirty (30)
days of Tenants' written request therefor, consider Tenant's request to fund
such capital improvements. Each and every capital improvement funded by Landlord
under this Section shall immediately become a part of the Premises and shall
belong to Landlord subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease. If
Landlord funds any capital improvements, Landlord's Investment shall be
increased for all purposes under this Lease by the amount of the funds provided
by Landlord for capital improvements.
5.8 COMPLIANCE WITH IRS GUIDELINES. Any improvement or
modification to the Premises shall satisfy the requirements set forth in
Sections 4(4).02 and .03 of Revenue Procedure 75-21, 1975-1 C.B. 715, as
modified by Revenue Procedure 79-48, 1979-2 C.B. 529. Landlord reserves the
right to refuse to consent to any improvement or modification to the Premises
if, in its judgment, such improvement or modification does not meet the
foregoing requirements.
6. CONDITION OF, AND TITLE TO, PREMISES. Tenant acknowledges that it is
presently engaged in the operation of Facilities in the state in which the
Premises is located and has expertise in the Facility industry. Tenant has
thoroughly investigated the Premises, has selected the Premises to its own
specifications, and has concluded that no other improvements or modifications to
the Premises are required in order to operate the Premises for its intended use,
except for the improvements to be constructed pursuant to the Development
Agreement. Tenant accepts the Premises for use as a Facility under this Lease on
an "AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS" basis and will assume all responsibility
and cost for the correction of any observed or unobserved deficiencies or
violations. In making its decision to enter into this Lease, Tenant has not
relied on any representations or warranties, express or implied, of any kind
from Landlord. Tenant has examined the condition of title to the Premises prior
to the execution and delivery of this Lease and has found the same to be
satisfactory. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Lease to the
contrary, Tenant accepts the Premises in their present condition, AS IS, WHERE
IS, WITH ALL FAULTS, and without any representations or warranties whatsoever,
express or implied, including, without limitation, any express or implied
representations or warranties as to the fitness, use, suitability, or condition
of the Premises. Tenant hereby represents and warrants to Landlord
-16-
<PAGE> 19
that Tenant is thoroughly familiar with the Premises and the condition thereof,
that Tenant is relying on Tenant's own personal knowledge of the condition of
the Premises, that neither Landlord nor any person or entity acting or allegedly
acting for or on behalf of Landlord or any other person or entity having or
claiming any interest in the Premises has made any representations, warranties,
agreements, statements, or expressions of opinions in any way or manner
whatsoever related to, connected with, or concerning the Premises, the condition
of the Premises, or any other fact or circumstance whatsoever on which Tenant is
relying, and, to the maximum extent not prohibited by applicable law, Tenant
hereby releases and discharges Landlord and all other persons and entities
having or claiming any interest in the Premises from all liability, damages,
costs, and expenses of every kind and nature whatsoever in any way or manner
arising out of, connected with, related to, or emanating from the condition of
the Premises at any time during the Term of this Lease. Tenant has examined the
condition of title to the Premises prior to the execution and delivery of this
Lease and has found the same to be satisfactory.
7. LANDLORD AND TENANT PERSONAL PROPERTY.
7.1 TENANT PERSONAL PROPERTY. Tenant shall install, affix or
assemble or place on the Premises all items of furniture, fixtures, equipment
and supplies not included as Landlord Personal Property as Tenant reasonably
considers to be appropriate for Tenant's use of the Premises as contemplated by
this Lease (the "TENANT PERSONAL PROPERTY"). Tenant shall provide and maintain
during the entire Term all Tenant Personal Property as shall be necessary in
order to operate the Premises in compliance with all requirements set forth in
this Lease. All Tenant Personal Property shall be and shall remain the property
of Tenant and may be removed by Tenant upon the expiration of the Term. However,
if there is any Event of Default, Tenant will not remove the Tenant Personal
Property from the Premises and will on demand from Landlord, convey the Tenant
Personal Property to Landlord by executing a bill of sale in a form reasonably
required by Landlord conveying all right, title, and interest Tenant has in
Tenant Personal Property, including, without limitation, all rights under third
party agreements regarding lease or purchase of Tenant Personal Property and all
related cure rights and rights to receive notice of default thereunder. In any
event, Tenant will repair all damage to the Premises caused by any removal of
the Tenant Personal Property.
7.2 LANDLORD'S SECURITY INTEREST.
7.2.1 The parties intend that if Tenant defaults under
this Lease, Landlord will control the Tenant Personal Property
and the Intangible Property (as defined in Section 7.4 below) so
that Landlord or its designee can operate or re-let the Premises
intact for use as a Facility.
7.2.2 Therefore, to implement the intention of the
parties, and for the purpose of securing the payment and
performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, Tenant, as
debtor, hereby grants to Landlord, as secured party, a security
interest in and an express contractual lien upon, all of Tenant's
right, title and interest in and to the Tenant Personal Property
and in and to the Intangible Property and in and to all of the
property set forth on EXHIBIT "F" attached hereto
-17-
<PAGE> 20
and incorporated herein for all purposes and in or to any and all
products and proceeds thereof in which Tenant now owns or
hereafter acquires an interest or right, including any leased
Tenant Personal Property. The schedule attached hereto as Exhibit
"F" may be attached to any financing statement filed pursuant to
Section 7.3 hereof. This Lease constitutes a security agreement
covering all such Tenant Personal Property and the Intangible
Property. The security interest granted to Landlord in this
Section 7.2.2 is intended by Landlord and Tenant to be
subordinate to any security interest granted in connection with
the financing or leasing of all or any portion of the Tenant
Personal Property so long as the lessor or financier of such
Tenant Personal Property agrees to (a) give Landlord written
notice of any default by Tenant under the terms of such lease or
financing arrangement, (b) give Landlord the lesser of (i) five
days after receipt of such notice to cure any such default or
(ii) the same time period as given to Tenant to cure any such
default, and (c) consent to Landlord's written assumption of such
lease or financing arrangement upon Landlord's curing of any
defaults thereunder. This security agreement and the security
interest created herein shall survive the termination of this
Lease if such termination results from the occurrence of an Event
of Default.
7.3 FINANCING STATEMENTS. If required by Landlord at any time
during the Term, Tenant will execute and deliver to Landlord, in form reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord, additional security agreements, financing statements,
fixture filings and such other documents as Landlord may reasonably require to
perfect or continue the perfection of Landlord's security interest in the Tenant
Personal Property and the Intangible Property and any and all products and
proceeds thereof now owned or hereafter acquired by Tenant. Tenant shall pay all
fees and costs that Landlord may incur in filing such documents in public
offices and in obtaining such record searches as Landlord may reasonably
require. In the event Tenant fails to execute any financing statements or other
documents for the perfection or continuation of Landlord's security interest,
Tenant hereby appoints Landlord as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to
execute any such documents on its behalf, which power of attorney shall be
irrevocable and is deemed to be coupled with an interest.
7.4 INTANGIBLE PROPERTY. The term "INTANGIBLE PROPERTY" means all
accounts, proceeds of accounts, rents, profits, income or revenue derived from
the use of rooms or other space within the Premises or the providing of services
in or from the Premises; documents, chattel paper, instruments, contract rights,
deposit accounts, general intangibles, chooses in action, now owned or hereafter
acquired by Tenant (including any right to any refund of any taxes or other
charges heretofore or hereafter paid to any governmental authority) arising from
or in connection with Tenant's operation or use of the Premises; all licenses
and permits now owned or hereinafter acquired by Tenant, necessary or desirable
for Tenant's use of the Premises under this Lease, including, without
limitation, if applicable, any certificate of need or other similar certificate;
and the right to use any trade or other name now or hereafter associated with
the operation of the Premises by Tenant, including, without limitation, the name
"Outlook Pointe At Pensacola". The word "accounts" above shall include, without
limitation and to the extent assignable, accounts to be paid by Medicaid or
Medicare (or successor programs), if any. With respect to the above referenced
trade name, Landlord and
-18-
<PAGE> 21
BCC each agree to cooperate to enter into a licensing agreement for the use of
the trade name, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to both Landlord and
BCC, which agreement shall include, without limitation, that the license shall
be (i) perpetual (except in the event BCC or an Affiliate acquires the Premises
in which case the license shall automatically terminate); (ii) at no cost to
Landlord; (iii) assignable by Landlord to a successor operator of the Premises
upon or after the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Lease, and (iv)
solely applicable to the Premises.
8. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Landlord and Tenant do hereby each
for itself represent and warrant to each other as follows:
8.1 DUE AUTHORIZATION AND EXECUTION. This Lease and all
agreements, instruments and documents executed or to be executed in connection
herewith by either Landlord or Tenant were duly authorized and shall be binding
upon the party that executed and delivered the same.

validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of their

agreement, document or instrument executed or to be executed in connection
herewith, violates the terms of any other agreement to which either Landlord or
Tenant is a party.

end of each calendar month during the Term, Tenant shall prepare and deliver

Gross Revenues for the applicable period. These reports will be accompanied by a

Tenant or the current manager of the Facility as approved by Landlord in
writing, certifying that said reports are true, correct, and complete in all

public accounting firm. Notwithstanding any of the other terms of this Section
9.3, if Tenant or Tenant's parent company becomes subject to any reporting
requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") during the
Term, Tenant shall concurrently deliver to Landlord such reports as are
delivered to the SEC pursuant to applicable securities laws.

regulation, including, without limitation, Medicare or Medicaid (or successor

certification in connection with the Premises or its business, by any federal,
state or local authority, including, without limitation, Medicare or Medicaid
(or successor programs) (if applicable).

following shall constitute an event of default on the part of Tenant hereunder

of this Section 10.1.4, a default shall be deemed to be material if it
does or could result in damages equal to or greater than One Million
and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00);
10.1.5 Any material misstatement or omission of fact in
any written report, notice or communication from Tenant, BCC, Manager,

respect to any of such persons or the Premises;
10.1.6 Any Change in Control (as defined below) of Tenant
or BCC as of the date hereof. As used in this Section 10.1.6, the term
"CHANGE IN CONTROL" shall mean the acquisition by any person, entity or
group of persons or entities acting in concert (other than the current
management of Tenant or BCC, respectively) of the beneficial interest in
sufficient Voting Stock (defined below) of Tenant or BCC to permit the
person, persons, entity, or entities acquiring such beneficial interests
to vote for a majority of the board of directors of Tenant or BCC,

liquidator for Tenant, BCC Developer, Manager, or any future guarantor
of this Lease (any such person being hereinafter individually referred

involuntarily filed against Tenant, BCC, Developer, Manager, or any
future manager or guarantor of this Lease (any such person being
hereinafter individually referred to in this Section 10.1.10 as the
"BANKRUPT PERSON") by any other party and the Bankrupt Person, BCC, or
Tenant does not within three (3) business days of any such filing inform
Landlord in writing of the intent by the Bankrupt Person to cause such
petition to be dismissed, or if the Bankrupt Person does not thereafter
diligently prosecute such dismissal, or if such filing is not dismissed
within ninety (90) days after filing thereof;
10.1.11 The failure to perform or comply with any other
term or provision of this Lease not requiring the payment of money

default described in this Section 10.1.11 is curable and shall be deemed
cured, if: (a) within ten (10) business days of Tenant's receipt of a
notice of default from Landlord, Tenant gives Landlord notice of its
intent to cure such default; and (b) Tenant cures such default within
thirty (30) days after such notice from Landlord, unless such default
cannot with due diligence be cured within a period of thirty (30) days
because of the nature of the default or delays beyond the control of
Tenant, and cure after such thirty (30) day period will not have a
material and adverse effect upon the Premises, in which case such
default shall not constitute an Event of Default if Tenant uses its best
efforts to cure such default by promptly commencing and diligently
pursuing such cure to the completion thereof, provided, however, no such
default shall continue for more than one hundred twenty (120) days from
Tenant's receipt of a notice of default from Landlord;
10.1.12 There shall be no cure period in the event of the
breach by Tenant of (a) the obligation to provide replacement policies

to assignments and other related matters; and
10.1.13 All notice and cure periods provided herein shall
run concurrently with any notice or cure periods provided by applicable
law.
10.2 REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
Landlord may exercise all rights and remedies under this Lease and the laws of
the state in which the Premises is located available to a lessor of real and
personal property in the event of a default by its lessee, and as to the Tenant
Personal Property and the Intangible Property all remedies granted under the
laws of such State to a secured party under its Uniform Commercial Code.
Without limiting the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to do any of the
following:
10.2.1 Sue for the specific performance of any covenant
of Tenant under this Lease as to which Tenant is in breach;
10.2.2 Enter upon the Premises, terminate this Lease,
dispossess Tenant from the Premises and/or collect money damages by
reason of Tenant's breach, including, without limitation, the
acceleration of all rent which would have accrued after
-22-
<PAGE> 25
such termination and all obligations and liabilities of Tenant under
this Lease which survive the termination of the Term;
10.2.3 Elect to leave this Lease in place and sue for
rent and/or other money damages as the same come due;
10.2.4 Before or after repossession of the Premises
pursuant to Section 10.2.2, and whether or not this Lease has been
terminated, Landlord shall have the right (but shall be under no
obligation) to relet any portion of the Premises to such tenant or
tenants, for such term or terms (which may be greater or less than the
remaining balance of the Term), for such rent, or such conditions (which
may include concessions) and for such uses, as Landlord, in its absolute
discretion, may determine, and Landlord may collect and receive any
rents payable by reason of such reletting. Tenant agrees to pay
Landlord, immediately upon demand, all reasonable expenses incurred by
Landlord in obtaining possession and in reletting any of the Premises,
including fees, commissions and costs of attorneys, architects, agents
and brokers. Although Landlord shall have no duty to mitigate damages
unless required by applicable law and shall not be responsible or liable
for any failure to relet any of the Premises or for any failure to
collect any rent due upon any such reletting, Landlord agrees that any
rents actually received by Landlord from reletting the Premises shall be
credited towards the amounts due hereunder.
10.2.5 Sell the Tenant Personal Property and/or the
Intangible Property in a non-judicial foreclosure sale.
10.2.6 For the purpose of calculating rent loss damages
payable to Landlord, Additional Rent for all periods after an Event of
Default shall be calculated based on the higher of actual Gross Revenues
or extrapolated Gross Revenues based on Gross Revenues performance prior
to the Event of Default.
10.3 RECEIVERSHIP. Tenant acknowledges that one of the rights and
remedies available to Landlord under applicable law is to apply to a court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver to take possession of
the Premises, to collect the rents, issues, profits and income of the Premises
and to manage the operation of the Premises. Tenant further acknowledges that
the revocation, suspension or material and adverse limitation of (i)
certification of the Premises for provider status (in the event such
certification is ever obtained) under Medicare or Medicaid (or successor
programs) and/or (ii) a license relating to the operation of the Premises for
its intended use as a Facility under the laws of the state in which the Premises
is located will materially and irreparably impair the value of Landlord's
investment in the Premises. Therefore, in any of such events, and in addition to
any other right or remedy of Landlord under this Lease, Landlord may petition
any appropriate court for, and Tenant hereby consents to, the appointment of a
receiver to take possession of the Premises, to manage the operation of the
Premises, to collect and disburse all rents, issues, profits and income
generated thereby and to preserve or replace to the extent possible any such
license for the Premises or to otherwise substitute the licensee or provider
thereof. The receiver shall be entitled to a reasonable fee for its services as
a receiver. All such fees and
-23-
<PAGE> 26
other expenses of the receivership estate shall be added to the monthly rent due
to Landlord under this Lease (but shall not be considered for the purpose of
calculating any amounts pursuant to Section 2.5 of this Lease). Tenant hereby
irrevocably stipulates to the appointment of a receiver under such circumstances
and for such purposes and agrees not to contest such appointment.
10.4 LATE CHARGES. Tenant acknowledges that the late payment of
any Minimum Rent or Additional Rent will cause Landlord to lose the use of such
money and incur costs and expenses not contemplated under this Lease, including,
without limitation, administrative and collection costs and processing and
accounting expenses, the exact amount of which is extremely difficult to
ascertain. Therefore, if any installment of Minimum Rent or Additional Rent is
not paid within five (5) calendar days after the due date for such rent payment,
then Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand a late charge equal to ten percent
(10%) of the amount of all installments of Minimum Rent or Additional Rent not
paid on the due date. Landlord and Tenant agree that this late charge represents
a reasonable estimate of such costs and expenses and is fair compensation to
Landlord for the loss suffered from such nonpayment by Tenant.
10.5 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE; NO WAIVER. No right or remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved to Landlord is intended to be exclusive of any other
right or remedy, and each and every right and remedy shall be cumulative and in
addition to any other right or remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity. No failure of Landlord to insist at any time upon
the strict performance of any provision of this Lease or to exercise any option,
right, power or remedy contained in this Lease shall be construed as a waiver,
modification or relinquishment thereof as to any similar or different breach
(future or otherwise) by Tenant. A receipt by Landlord of any rent or other sum
due hereunder (including any late charge) with knowledge of the breach of any
provision contained in this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach,
and no waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have
been made unless expressed in a writing signed by Landlord.
10.6 PERFORMANCE OF TENANT'S OBLIGATIONS BY LANDLORD. If Tenant
at any time shall fail to make any payment or perform any act on its part
required to be made or performed under this Lease, then Landlord may, without
waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligations or default of Tenant hereunder,
make any such payment or perform any such act for the account and at the expense
of Tenant, and may enter upon the Premises for the purpose of taking all such
action thereon as may be reasonably necessary therefor. No such entry shall be
deemed an eviction of Tenant. All sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary and
incidental costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred in connection with the performance of any
such act by Landlord, together with interest at the maximum interest rate
allowable under the applicable statutes or law of the state in which the Real
Property is located from the date of the making of such payment or the incurring
of such costs and expenses by Landlord, shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord
on demand.

11. SECURITY DEPOSIT. On the date hereof, Tenant shall deposit with
Landlord a sum equal to Sixty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred Eighty-Eight Dollars
and Four Cents ($67,588.04) in cash representing a security deposit against the
faithful performance of the terms and conditions contained in this Lease; and
monthly after the Reset Date for four (4) months, Tenant shall deposit with
Landlord a sum equal to Thirty-Three Thousand Seven Hundred Ninety-Four Dollars
and Two Cents ($33,794.02) in cash representing additional security deposit
against the faithful performance of the terms and conditions contained in this
Lease. Landlord shall not be deemed a trustee as to such deposit and shall have
the right to commingle any such security deposit with its own or other funds.
Interest on any such cash deposit shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant on a
quarterly basis in arrears at the average rate earned in such period on
Landlord's cash and cash equivalent investments. In the event Tenant has fully
complied with the terms of this Lease and no Event of Default exists, the
remaining balance of the security deposit shall be returned to Tenant, without
interest, within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Term provided,
however, Landlord shall have the right to retain and expend such remaining
balance for cleaning and repairing the Premises if Tenant shall fail to deliver
the Premises at the termination or expiration of this Lease in a neat and clean
condition and in as good a condition as existed at the date of possession and
occupancy of same, ordinary wear and tear only excepted.
12. DAMAGE BY FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY.
12.1 RECONSTRUCTION USING INSURANCE. In the event of the damage
or destruction of the Premises, Tenant shall forthwith notify Landlord and
diligently repair or reconstruct the same to a like or better condition than
existed prior to such damage or destruction. Any net insurance proceeds payable
with respect to the casualty shall be used for the repair or reconstruction of
the Premises pursuant to reasonable disbursement controls in favor of Landlord.
If such proceeds are insufficient for such purposes, Tenant shall provide the
required additional funds.
12.2 SURPLUS PROCEEDS. If there remains any surplus of insurance
proceeds after the completion of the repair or reconstruction of the Premises,
such surplus shall belong to and be paid to Tenant.
12.3 NO RENT ABATEMENT. The rent payable under this Lease shall
not abate by reason of any damage or destruction of the Premises by reason of an
insured or uninsured casualty. Tenant hereby waives all rights under applicable
law to abate, reduce or offset rent by reason of such damage or destruction.
13. CONDEMNATION.
13.1 COMPLETE TAKING. If during the Term all or substantially
all of the Premises is taken or condemned by any competent public or
quasi-public authority, then Tenant may, at Tenant's election, made within
thirty (30) days of such taking by condemnation, terminate this Lease, and the
current Minimum Rent and Additional Rent shall be prorated as of the date of
such termination. The award payable upon such taking shall be allocated between
Landlord and Tenant as so allocated by the taking authority. In the absence of
such allocation by the taking authority, the award shall be allocated as agreed
by Landlord and Tenant. Failing such agreement within thirty (30) days after
the effective date of such

13. CONDEMNATION.
13.1 COMPLETE TAKING. If during the Term all or substantially all
of the Premises is taken or condemned by any competent public or quasi-public
authority, then Tenant may, at Tenant's election, made within thirty (30) days
of such taking by condemnation, terminate this Lease, and the current Minimum
Rent and Additional Rent shall be prorated as of the date of such termination.
The award payable upon such taking shall be allocated between Landlord and
Tenant as so allocated by the taking authority. In the absence of such
allocation by the taking authority, the award shall be allocated as agreed by
Landlord and Tenant. Failing such agreement within thirty (30) days after the
effective date of such
-25-
<PAGE> 29
taking, the award shall be allocated between Landlord and Tenant pursuant to the
appraisal procedure described on Exhibit "B" attached hereto.
13.2 PARTIAL TAKING. In the event such condemnation proceeding or
right of eminent domain results in a taking of less than all or substantially
all of the Premises, the Minimum Rent and Additional Rental thereto shall be
abated to the same extent as the diminution in the fair market value of the
Premises by reason of the condemnation. Such diminution in the fair market value
shall be as agreed between Landlord and Tenant, but failing such agreement
within thirty (30) days of the effective date of the condemnation such fair
market value will be determined by appraisal pursuant to Exhibit "B" attached
hereto. Landlord shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all awards for
the partial taking and damage and Tenant shall not be entitled to receive or
retain any such award for any reason. Landlord's Investment will be reduced for
all purposes under this Lease by reason of any award paid to Landlord under this
Section 13.2.
13.3 LEASE REMAINS IN EFFECT. Except as provided above, this
Lease shall not terminate and shall remain in full force and effect in the event
of a taking or condemnation of the Premises, or any portion thereof, and Tenant
hereby waives all rights under applicable law to abate, reduce or offset rent by
reason of such taking.
14. PROVISIONS ON TERMINATION OF TERM.
14.1 SURRENDER OF POSSESSION. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, Tenant shall, on or before the last day of the Term, or upon
earlier termination of this Lease, surrender to Landlord the Premises (including
all patient charts and resident records along with appropriate patient and
resident consents if necessary) in good condition and repair, ordinary wear and
tear excepted.
14.2 REMOVAL OF PERSONAL PROPERTY. If Tenant is not then in
default hereunder Tenant shall have the right in connection with the surrender
of the Premises to remove from the Premises all Tenant Personal Property but not
the Landlord Personal Property (including the Landlord Personal Property
replaced by Tenant or required by the state in which the Premises is located or
any other governmental entity to operate the Premises for the purpose set forth
in Section 5.3 above). Any such removal shall be done in a workmanlike manner
leaving the Premises in good and presentable condition and appearance, including
repair of any damage caused by such removal. At the end of the Term or upon the
earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall return the Premises to Landlord
with the Landlord Personal Property (or replacements thereof) in the same
condition and utility as was delivered to Tenant at the commencement of the
Term, normal wear and tear excepted.
14.3 TITLE TO PERSONAL PROPERTY NOT REMOVED. Title to any of
Tenant Personal Property which is not removed by Tenant upon the expiration of
the Term shall, at Landlord's election, vest in Landlord; provided, however,
that Landlord may remove and dispose at Tenant's expense of any or all of such
Tenant Personal Property which is not so removed by Tenant without obligation or
accounting to the Tenant.
-26-
<PAGE> 30
14.4 MANAGEMENT OF PREMISES. Upon the expiration or earlier
termination of the Term, Landlord or its designee may elect, upon written notice
to Tenant and to the extent permitted by applicable law, to assume the
responsibilities and obligations for the management and operation of the
Premises, and Tenant agrees to cooperate fully with Landlord or its designee to
accomplish the transfer of such management and operation without interrupting
the operation of the Premises. Tenant shall not commit any act or be remiss in
the undertaking of any act that would jeopardize any licensure or certification
of the facility, and Tenant shall, at the time of any such surrender and to the
extent permitted by applicable law, comply with all requests for an orderly
transfer of (a) the Applicable Facility license, (b) any Medicare and Medicaid
(or any successor program) certifications and (if applicable), and (c)
possession of the Premises. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the
Term, Tenant shall promptly deliver copies of all of Tenant's books and records
relating to the Premises and its operations to Landlord.
14.5 CORRECTION OF DEFICIENCIES. Upon termination or cancellation
of this Lease, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord for any loss, damage, cost or
expense incurred by Landlord to correct all deficiencies of a physical nature
identified by the governmental agency responsible for licensing Facilities in
the state in which the Premises is located and/or the governmental agency
responsible for administering Medicare or Medicaid payments or any other
government agency or Medicare or Medicaid (or any successor programs) providers
in the course of the change of ownership inspection and audit.
15. NOTICES AND DEMANDS. All notices and demands, certificates,
requests, consents, approvals, and other similar instruments under this Lease
shall be in writing and shall be sent by personal delivery or by either (a)
United States certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage
prepaid, or (b) Federal Express or similar generally recognized overnight
carrier regularly providing proof of delivery, addressed as follows:

Notice to any one co-Tenant shall be deemed notice to all co-Tenants.
16. RIGHT OF ENTRY; EXAMINATION OF RECORDS. Landlord and its
representative may enter the Premises at any reasonable time after reasonable
notice to Tenant for the purpose of inspecting the Premises for any reason,
including, without limitation, Tenant's default under this Lease, or to exhibit
the Premises for sale, lease or mortgage financing, or posting notices of
default, or non-responsibility under any mechanic's or materialman's lien law or
to otherwise inspect the Premises for compliance with the terms of this Lease.
Any such entry shall not unreasonably interfere with residents, patients,
patient care, or any other of Tenant's operations. During normal business hours
and to the extent permitted by applicable law, Tenant will permit Landlord and
Landlord's representatives, inspectors and consultants to examine all contracts,
books and records relating to Tenant's operations at the Premises, whether kept
at the Premises or at some other location, including, without limitation,
Tenant's financial records.
-28-
<PAGE> 32
17. LANDLORD MAY GRANT LIENS. Without the consent of Tenant, Landlord
may, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below in this Section 17,
from time to time, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause to exist
any lien, encumbrance or title retention agreement ("ENCUMBRANCE") upon the
Premises, or any portion thereof or interest therein (including this Lease),
whether to secure any borrowing or other means of financing or refinancing or
otherwise. Any such Encumbrance shall provide that it is subject to the rights
of Tenant under this Lease, and shall further provide that so long as no Event
of Default shall have occurred under this Lease, Tenant's occupancy hereunder,
including, but without limitation, Tenant's right of quiet enjoyment provided in
Section 18, shall not be disturbed in the event any such lienholder or any other
person takes possession of the Premises through foreclosure proceeding or
otherwise. Upon the request of Landlord, Tenant shall subordinate this Lease to
the lien of a new Encumbrance on the Premises; provided, however, if Tenant is
not then in default hereunder, then Tenant shall not be required to so
subordinate this Lease unless the holder or beneficiary of such Encumbrance
executes a nondisturbance agreement in conformity with the provisions of Section
18 hereof.
18. SUBORDINATION AND NON-DISTURBANCE. (a) Concurrently with the
execution and delivery of any fee mortgage entered into after the date hereof,
provided that the Tenant executes and delivers an agreement of the type
described in the following paragraph, Landlord shall obtain and deliver to
Tenant an agreement by the holder of such fee mortgage, pursuant to which, the
applicable fee mortgagee (i) consents to this Lease, and (ii) agrees that,
notwithstanding the terms of the applicable fee mortgage held by such fee
mortgagee, or any default, expiration, termination, foreclosure, sale, entry or
other act or omission under or pursuant to such fee mortgage, or any transfer in
lieu of foreclosure, (A) Tenant's rights under this Lease shall not be disturbed
so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder, nor shall this Lease be
terminated or cancelled at any time, except in the event that Landlord shall
have the right to terminate this Lease under the terms and provisions expressly
set forth herein, (B) BCC's option to purchase the Premises shall remain in
force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Master Agreement, and (C) in the
event that BCC or its Affiliate elects its option to purchase the Premises and
performs all of its obligations hereunder in connection with any such election,
the holder of the fee mortgage shall release its fee mortgage upon payment by
BCC or its Affiliate of the purchase price required under the Master Agreement.
(b) At the request from time to time of any fee mortgagee, Tenant shall
(i) subordinate this Lease and all of Tenant's rights and estate hereunder to
the fee mortgage held by such fee mortgagee, and (ii) agree that Tenant will
attorn to and recognize such fee mortgagee or the purchaser at any foreclosure
sale or any sale under a power of sale contained in any such fee mortgage as
Landlord under this Lease for the balance of the Term then remaining. To effect
the intent and purpose of the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant agrees to
execute and deliver such instruments in recordable form as are reasonably
requested by Landlord or the applicable fee mortgagee; provided, however, that
such fee mortgagee simultaneously executes, delivers and records a written
agreement of the type described in Section 18(a) above.
19. QUIET ENJOYMENT. So long as there is no Event of Default by Tenant,
Landlord covenants and agrees that Tenant shall peaceably and quietly have, hold
and enjoy the
-29-
<PAGE> 33
Premises for the Term, free of any claim or other action not caused or created
by Tenant (excepting, however, intrusion of Tenant's quiet enjoyment occasioned
by condemnation or destruction of the property as referred to in Sections 12 and
13 hereof).
20. EASEMENTS, ETC.. Landlord will, from time to time, at the request
of Tenant and at Tenant's cost and expense, but subject to the approval of
Landlord (a) grant easements and other rights in the nature of easements, (b)
release existing easements or other rights in the nature of easements which are
for the benefit of the Premises, (c) dedicate or transfer unimproved portions of
the Premises for road, highway or other public purposes, (d) execute petitions
to have the Premises annexed to any municipal corporation or utility district,
(e) execute amendments to any covenants and restrictions affecting the Premises,
and (f) execute and deliver to any person such instruments as may be necessary
or appropriate to confirm or effect such grants, releases, dedications and
transfers (to the extent of its interest in the Premises). Along with any such
request, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an Officer's Certificate stating (and
such other confirming information as Landlord may reasonably require) that such
grant, release, dedication, transfer, petition or amendment has no adverse
effect on the intended use of the Premises and does not reduce the value
thereof.
21. APPLICABLE LAW. This Lease shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the internal laws of the state in which the Premises is located
without regard to the conflict of laws rules of such State.
22. PRESERVATION OF GROSS REVENUES.
22.1 Tenant acknowledges that a fair return to Landlord on its
investment in the Premises is dependent, in part, on the concentration on the
Premises during the Term of the Facility business of Tenant and its Affiliates
in the geographical area of the Premises. Tenant further acknowledges that the
diversion of residents and/or patient care activities from the Premises to other
facilities owned or operated by Tenant or its Affiliates at or near the end of
the Term will have a material adverse impact on the value and utility of the
Premises.
22.1.1 Therefore, Tenant agrees that during the Term, and for
a period of one (1) year thereafter, neither Tenant nor any of its
Affiliates shall, without the prior written consent of Landlord,
operate, own, participate in or otherwise receive revenues from any
other facility or institution providing services or similar goods to
those provided on or in connection with the Premises and the permitted
use thereof as contemplated under this Lease, within a five (5) mile
radius of the Premises; provided, however, that the provisions of this
Section 22.1.1 shall not apply to the operation or ownership of any
licensed skilled nursing facility or licensed acute care hospital
facility.
22.1.2 In addition, Tenant hereby covenants and agrees that
for a period of one (1) year following the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease, neither Tenant nor any of its Affiliates
shall, without prior written consent of Landlord, solicit for hire,
engage or otherwise employ any management or supervisory personnel
working on or in connection with the Premises and not
-30-
<PAGE> 34
also working at any other facility owned or operated by BCC or any
Affiliate of BCC.
22.2 Except as required for medically appropriate reasons, prior to
and for a period of one (1) year after Lease termination, neither Tenant nor any
of its Affiliates will recommend or solicit the removal or transfer of any
resident or patient from the Premises to any other assisted living, senior
housing, or retirement housing facility; provided, however, the provisions of
this Section 22.2 shall not apply to the removal or transfer of a resident or
patient to a licensed skilled nursing facility or licensed acute care hospital
facility.
22.3 Tenant hereby specifically acknowledges and agrees that the
temporal, geographical and other restrictions contained in this Section 22 are
reasonable and necessary to protect the business and prospects of Landlord, and
that the enforcement of the provisions of this Section 22 will not work an undue
hardship on Tenant. Tenant further agrees that in the event either the length of
time, geographical or any other restrictions, or portion thereof, set forth in
this Section 22 is overly restrictive and unenforceable in any court proceeding,
the court may reduce or modify such restrictions, but only to the extent
necessary, to those which it deems reasonable and enforceable under the
circumstances, and the parties agree that the restrictions of this Section 22
will remain in full force and effect as reduced or modified. Tenant further
agrees and acknowledges that Landlord does not have an adequate remedy at law
for the breach or threatened breach by Tenant of the covenants contained in this
Section 22, and Tenant therefore specifically agrees that Landlord may, in
addition to other remedies which may be available to Landlord hereunder, file a
suit in equity to enjoin Tenant from such breach or threatened breach, without
the necessity of posting any bond. Tenant further agrees, in the event that any
provision of this Section 22 is held to be invalid or against public policy, the
remaining provisions of this Section 22 and the remainder of this Lease shall
not be affected thereby.
23. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS.
23.1 HAZARDOUS MATERIAL COVENANTS. Tenant's use of the Premises
shall comply with all Hazardous Materials Laws. In the event any Environmental
Activities occur or are suspected to have occurred in violation of any Hazardous
Materials Laws or if Tenant has received any Hazardous Materials Claim against
the Premises, Tenant shall promptly obtain all permits and approvals necessary
to remedy any such actual or suspected problem through the removal of Hazardous
Materials or otherwise, and upon Landlord's approval of the remediation plan
(which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), remedy any such
problem to the satisfaction of Landlord and all applicable governmental
authorities, in accordance with all Hazardous Materials Laws and good business
practices.
23.2 TENANT NOTICES TO LANDLORD. Tenant shall immediately advise
Landlord in writing of:
23.2.1 any Environmental Activities in violation of any
Hazardous Materials Laws;
23.2.2 any Hazardous Materials Claims against Tenant or the
Premises;
-31-
<PAGE> 35
23.2.3 any remedial action taken by Tenant in response to any
Hazardous Materials Claims or any Hazardous Materials on, under or
about the Premises in violation of any Hazardous Materials Laws;
23.2.4 Tenant's discovery of any occurrence or condition on or
in a one (1) mile radius of the Premises that materially increase the
risk that the Premises will be exposed to Hazardous Materials; and
23.2.5 all communications to or from Tenant, any governmental
authority or any other person relating to Hazardous Materials Laws or
Hazardous Materials Claims with respect to the Premises, including
copies thereof.
23.3 EXTENSION OF TERM. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Lease, in the event any Hazardous Materials are discovered on, under or about
the Premises in violation of any Hazardous Materials Law, the Term shall be
automatically extended and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect
until the earlier to occur of the completion of all remedial action or
monitoring, as approved by Landlord, in accordance with all Hazardous Materials
Laws, or the date specified in a written notice from Landlord to Tenant
terminating this Lease (which date may be subsequent to the date upon which the
Term was to have expired).
23.4 PARTICIPATION IN HAZARDOUS MATERIALS CLAIMS. Landlord shall
have the right, at Tenant's sole cost and expense (including, without
limitation, Landlord's reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) and with counsel
chosen by Landlord, to join and participate in, as a party if it so elects, any
legal proceedings or actions initiated in connection with any Hazardous
Materials Claims.
23.5 ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVITIES shall mean the use, generation,
transportation, handling, discharge, production, treatment, storage, release or
disposal of any Hazardous Materials at any time to or from the Premises or
located on or present on or under the Premises. Nothing contained in the
foregoing or elsewhere in this Section 21 is intended to, nor shall it, limit
the liability of Tenant, if any, to Landlord with respect to any representation
or warranty given to Landlord with respect to Hazardous Materials or
environmental matters generally as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
23.6 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS shall mean (a) any petroleum products
and/or by-products (including any fraction thereof), flammable substances,
explosives, radioactive materials, hazardous or toxic wastes, substances or
materials, known carcinogens or any other materials, contaminants or pollutants
which pose a hazard to the Premises or to persons on or about the Premises or
cause the Premises to be in violation of any Hazardous Materials Laws; (b)
asbestos in any form which is friable; (c) urea formaldehyde in foam insulation
or any other form; (d) transformers or other equipment which contain dielectric
fluid containing levels of polychlorinated biphenyls in excess of fifty (50)
parts per million or any other more restrictive standard then prevailing; (e)
medical wastes and biohazards; (f) radon gas in excess
-32-
<PAGE> 36
of permissible state or federal guidelines; (g) underground storage tanks which
pose a hazard to the property or to persons on or about the Property or cause
the Property to be in violation of any Hazardous Materials Laws; and (h) any
other chemical, material or substance, exposure to which is prohibited, limited
or regulated by any governmental authority or may or could pose a hazard to the
health and safety of the occupants of the Premises or the owners and/or
occupants of property adjacent to or surrounding the Premises, including,
without limitation, any materials or substances that are listed in the United
States Department of Transportation Hazardous Materials Table (49 CFR 172.101)
as amended from time to time.
23.7 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS CLAIMS shall mean any and all
enforcement, clean-up, removal or other governmental or regulatory actions or
orders threatened, instituted or completed pursuant to any Hazardous Material
Laws, together with all claims made or threatened by any third party against the
Premises, Landlord or Tenant relating to damage, contribution, cost recovery
compensation, loss or injury resulting from any Hazardous Materials.
23.8 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS LAWS shall mean any laws, ordinances,
regulations, rules, orders, guidelines or policies relating to the environment,
health and safety, underground storage tanks, Environmental Activities,
Hazardous Materials, air and water quality, waste disposal and other
environmental matters.
24. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. (a) Tenant shall not, without the prior
written consent of Landlord, which may be withheld at Landlord's sole
discretion, voluntarily or involuntarily assign, mortgage, encumber or
hypothecate this Lease or any interest herein or sublet the Premises or any part
thereof. For the purposes of this Lease, the following, without limitation,
shall be considered an assignment of this Lease by Tenant: (i) a management or
similar agreement (other than any such agreement between Tenant and BCC or an
Affiliate of BCC), and (ii) any Change in Control (as such term is defined in
Section 10.1.6 hereof) of Tenant. Any of the foregoing acts without such consent
shall be void but shall, at the option of Landlord in its sole discretion,
constitute an Event of Default giving rise to Landlord's right, among other
things, to terminate this Lease. Without limiting the foregoing, this Lease
shall not, nor shall any interest of Tenant herein, be assigned or encumbered by
operation of law without the prior written consent of Landlord which may be
withheld at Landlord's sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant
may without Landlord's consent assign this Lease or sublet all (but not less
than all) of the Premises thereof to an Affiliate of Tenant, provided that such
Affiliate fully assumes the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, BCC has
approved such assignment in writing, Tenant remains fully liable under this
Lease, the use of the Premises remains unchanged, and no such assignment or
sublease shall be valid and no such Affiliate shall take possession of the
Premises until an executed counterpart of such assignment or sublease has been
delivered to Landlord. Anything contained in this Lease to the contrary
notwithstanding, Tenant shall not sublet the Premises or any part thereof on any
basis such that the rental to be paid by the sublessee thereunder would be
based, in whole or in part, on either the income or profits derived by the
business activities of the sublessee, or any other formula, such that any
portion of the sublease rental received by Landlord would fail to qualify as
"rents from real property" within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the U.S.
Internal Revenue Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto.
-33-
<PAGE> 37
(b) If no Event of Default exists under this Lease and no event of
default exists under the Master Agreement, the Development Agreement, the
Deposit Pledge Agreement, or the Working Capital Assurance Agreement, then
notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.1.6 above or Section 24(a) above to
the contrary, Tenant shall have the right, and Landlord hereby consents, to the
transfer, assignment or sale to either BCC or an Affiliate of BCC of all the
outstanding equity interests of Tenant pursuant to the Option Agreement or all
of the assets of Tenant pursuant to the Asset Purchase Option (as defined in the
Shortfall Funding Agreement); provided, however, should such purchase be made by
an Affiliate of BCC, BCC shall provide to Landlord a guaranty in form and
substance satisfactory to Landlord of all obligations of the successor Tenant
under this Lease; and provided, further, that BCC must give Landlord thirty (30)
days prior written notice of any such transfer, assignment or sale (without any
obligation for BCC to obtain Landlord's approval of any such transfer). In such
event, the initial Tenant and any guarantor of such Tenant's obligations to
Landlord (exclusive of BCC or a BCC Affiliate) shall be relieved of all
liability and obligations hereunder and to Landlord, and Landlord shall look
solely to BCC (and, if applicable, the BCC Affiliate acting as Tenant hereunder)
for the satisfaction of all such obligations owed to Landlord.
25. INDEMNIFICATION. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant
agrees to protect, indemnify, defend and save harmless Landlord, its directors,
officers, shareholders, agents and employees from and against any and all
foreseeable or unforeseeable liability, expense loss, costs, deficiency, fine,
penalty, or damage (including, without limitation, punitive or consequential
damages) of any kind or nature, including reasonable attorneys' fees, from any
suits, claims or demands, on account of any matter or thing, action or failure
to act arising out of or in connection with this Lease (including, without
limitation, the breach by Tenant of any of its obligations hereunder), the
Premises, or the operations of Tenant on the Premises, including, without
limitation, all Environmental Activities on the Premises, all Hazardous
Materials Claims (including, without limitation, any Claims arising out of any
Environmental Activities described in the "PHASE I REPORT", as defined in the
Purchase Agreement) or any violation by Tenant of a Hazardous Materials Law with
respect to the Premises. Upon receiving knowledge of any suit, claim or demand
asserted by a third party that Landlord believes is covered by this indemnity,
Landlord shall give Tenant notice of the matter. Tenant shall defend Landlord
against such matter at Tenant's sole cost and expense (including, without

invalidate the policy of insurance.
35. MEMORANDUM OF LEASE. If requested by Landlord or Tenant, then
Landlord and Tenant shall execute a memorandum or notice of lease in which
reference to this Lease shall be made, in form suitable for recording under the
laws of the state in which the Premises is located. Tenant shall pay all costs
and expenses of preparing and recording such memorandum or notice of this Lease.

38. USURY SAVINGS CLAUSE. The parties intend that their relationship be

termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 10.2.2 above.
41. INTERPRETATION. Both Landlord and Tenant have been represented by
counsel and this Lease has been freely and fairly negotiated. Consequently, all
provisions of this Lease shall be interpreted according to their fair meaning
and shall not be strictly construed against any party.

42. SUBSTITUTION OF PROPERTY FOR THE PREMISES. In the event Landlord
accepts an offer by Tenant to substitute other property for the Premises, and
provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Tenant

require, and upon notice to Landlord) to substitute one or more properties
(collectively referred to as "SUBSTITUTE PROPERTIES" or individually as a
"SUBSTITUTE PROPERTY") for the Premises on a monthly payment date specified in

substantial accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, the

consequential damages, reasonable attorneys' fees, and expenses) arising out of
or due to any protest by Developer pursuant to this Paragraph 6.1(e), regardless

liability of Owner and Developer. Upon receiving notice of or information
concerning any suit, claim or demand asserted by a third party that Owner
believes is covered by the indemnity set forth in this Paragraph 6.1(e), Owner
shall give Developer notice of same. Developer shall defend Owner against such
matter at Developer's sole cost and expense with legal counsel reasonably
satisfactory to Owner; or
(f) Developer persistently disregards or fails to comply with
any law or ordinance relating to the Improvements or the completion of the
Improvements; or

are sold or otherwise transferred.
6.2. TAKE OVER. If an Event of Default occurs, Owner shall have the
right, but not the obligation, without relieving Developer of its obligation to
pay any shortage pursuant to Paragraph 4.5 above, to assume control of the

and construed in accordance with the laws of the state in which the Real

then the remainder of this Agreement, including the application of such term or
provision to persons or circumstances other than those
-19-
<PAGE> 24
to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby;
provided, however, if the foregoing would produce a result which is clearly
contrary to the intentions of the parties as reflected in this Agreement, then
the invalid or unenforceable term or provision shall be deemed modified to the
extent necessary in the court's opinion to render such term or provision
enforceable consistent with the intentions of the parties and, as so modified,
such portion and the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force
and effect.
8.8. NO WAIVER. No failure or delay of a party in the exercise of
any right given to such party hereunder or by law shall constitute a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude
other further exercise thereof or of any other right. The waiver by a party of
any breach of any provision hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any
subsequent breach thereof, or of any breach of any other provision hereof.
8.9. NO JOINT VENTURE. Owner shall not and does not by this
Agreement in any way or for any purpose become a partner of Developer in the
conduct of its business, or otherwise, or a joint venturer of or a member of a
joint enterprise with Developer, or an Employer of Developer, it being
understood and agreed between Owner and Developer that Developer is and shall
be, for all purposes of this Agreement, an independent contractor of Owner.
Developer agrees that, upon request of Owner, Developer shall execute and
deliver to Owner a quitclaim deed in recordable form pursuant to which Developer
remises, releases and forever quitclaims to Owner the Real Property and the
improvements located thereon (other than its leasehold interest therein arising
out of the Lease). Owner shall have the right to record such quitclaim deed in
the Official Records of the county in which the Real Property is located.

"INDEMNITEE") (through legal counsel reasonably approved by the Indemnitee) from
any and all liability, loss, cost, expense, damage and attorneys' fees resulting
from or arising out of the negligent acts or omissions, willful misconduct or
Events of Default, of such indemnifying party, its staff members, employees,
agents and representatives, in connection with the performance by such
indemnifying party of its services under this Agreement, including, without
limitation, any claim, liability, loss or expense arising out of the use,
release, discharge, storage, handling, transportation or clean up of any toxic
or hazardous wastes, substances, materials, or underground storage tanks, in the
construction of the Improvements.
8.12. ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS. Developer and Owner will, whenever and
as often as requested by the other party hereto, execute or cause to be executed
all such instruments or agreements as may be reasonably necessary in order to
carry out the purpose of this Agreement and shall take such other actions as are
reasonably necessary to carry out the intent and purpose of this Agreement.
-20-

relying on Developer for the identification of all subsurface conditions and
aspects of site geology that should be taken into account in the design and
construction of the Improvements.

performance under this Agreement shall be extended for and throughout such
period of time as such performance is prevented or delayed due to strikes,
lockouts, acts of government, acts of God, wars, riots, civil insurrection or
abnormal force of elements or other causes (except financial) beyond the
parties' reasonable control and which the affected party could not have
reasonably foreseen and provided against; provided, however, that in no event
shall any such extension be deemed to have occurred unless (a) the party whose
performance is delayed shall have given notice to the other party within ten
(10) days after the occurrence of the event of delay, setting forth the facts
giving rise to such extension, and (b) the applicable period or periods of time
within which such other party may exercise its rights hereunder shall be
commensurately extended. The party whose performance is delayed shall give
prompt written notice to the other party of the cessation of the event or
condition giving rise to such delay.
8.15. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in several
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall
constitute one and the same document.

a Delaware business trust.
RECITALS:
A. NHP, MLD, Elder, Developer, and BCC have agreed to enter into a
series of six (6) transactions, two (2) of which are to be entered into by MLD
and four (4) of which are to be entered into by NHP, as specifically set forth
in EXHIBIT "A" attached hereto and included herein for all purposes as though
fully set forth (hereinafter individually referred to as a "TRANSACTION" and
collectively referred to as the "TRANSACTIONS"), each of which will include the
purchase, lease, and development of certain tracts or parcels of real property,
together with all improvements thereon, all personal property to be leased
therewith, and all appurtenances thereto (hereinafter individually referred to

of the aggregate purchase prices and aggregate development fees and costs for
the Properties ("NHP'S MAXIMUM INVESTMENT") to be limited to Thirty-Six Million
Eight Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($36,850,000.00).
B. The Transactions are generally expected to take the following form:
(A) each of the Properties are to be located, identified, and chosen by BCC or
its Affiliates (defined below), which will enter into option or purchase
agreements (hereinafter individually referred to as a "PURCHASE CONTRACT" and
collectively referred to as the "PURCHASE CONTRACTS") by and between various
third parties, as seller, and BCC, as buyer; (B) following the exercise of an
option or the firm decision by BCC to proceed with a purchase pursuant to a
Purchase Contract, BCC will assign all its rights, duties, and obligations under
such Purchase Contract to NHP or MLD, pursuant to an assignment of purchase
contract agreement (the "PURCHASE CONTRACT ASSIGNMENTS"); (C) NHP or MLD will
purchase the respective Properties upon the terms and conditions set forth in
the applicable Purchase Contracts, and any amendments thereto required by NHP;
(D) simultaneously with the closing of each Purchase Contract, a subsidiary or
other Affiliate of Elder will lease from NHP or MLD the applicable Property,
pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in a lease and security agreement
(hereinafter individually referred to as a "LEASE" and collectively referred to
as the "LEASES"), which Leases will typically provide for an initial term of
eleven (11) years and for three (3) separate renewal terms of six (6) years
each; (E) Elder Care will guarantee the obligations of any tenant under the
Leases or of any subtenant under a sublease of a Lease (hereinafter individually
referred to as a "TENANT" and collectively referred to as the "TENANTS")
pursuant to a lease guaranty (the "LEASE GUARANTIES"); (F) as additional
security for the obligations of Tenants under each respective Lease, BCC will
enter into working capital assurance agreements with NHP or MLD (the "CAPITAL
AGREEMENTS"), whereby BCC agrees to make
<PAGE> 2
working capital loans to the applicable Tenant, and as further security, NHP or
MLD will be a party to deposit pledge agreements (the "DEPOSIT AGREEMENTS")
whereby each applicable Tenant pledges a minimum amount of capital as a working
capital reserve for its operations; (G) each Property will be developed, used,
and licensed (by the State in which such Property is located) as an assisted
living facility, personal care home, independent living facility, or similar
adult care facility (hereinafter individually referred to as a "FACILITY" and
collectively referred to as the "FACILITIES"), including (at BCC's option) such
ancillary services for independent living, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, or
Alzheimer's or dementia care as are permitted by law and may be necessary or
incidental thereto; (H) Developer will act as developer of each of the
Properties, pursuant to the terms and conditions of development agreements
(hereinafter individually referred to as a "DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT" and
collectively referred to as the "DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS") to be entered into by
and between Developer and NHP or MLD, with the aggregate development fees paid
to Developer under the Development Agreements being funded out of NHP's Maximum
Investment and limited to an amount equal to six and one-half percent (6.5%) of
NHP's Maximum Investment; (I) BCC will guarantee the obligations of Developer
under each respective Development Agreement and the completion of all
improvements contemplated in such Development Agreements, pursuant to a guaranty
agreement with NHP or MLD (the "DEVELOPMENT GUARANTIES"), (j) each of the
Tenants will enter into a management agreement with a newly formed subsidiary of
BCC, whereby such BCC subsidiary agrees to manage the respective Facility on
behalf of the respective Tenant (such BCC subsidiaries being hereinafter
collectively referred to as the "MANAGERS"), (K) BCC will indemnify NHP or MLD
with respect to possible environmental hazards on each applicable Property by
means of environmental indemnification agreements (the "ENVIRONMENTAL
INDEMNIFICATIONS"), and (L) NHP or MLD, as applicable, will grant rights of
first refusal to BCC with respect to any proposed sales of the Properties, by
means of right of first refusal agreements ("REFUSAL AGREEMENTS").
C. BCC, Elder, and Developer each acknowledges and agrees that this
Agreement is given as an inducement to NHP and MLD to consummate the
Transactions and to enter into the Purchase Contract Assignments, Purchase
Contracts, Leases, Lease Guaranties, Capital Agreements, Deposit Agreements,
Development Agreements, Development Guaranties, Environmental Indemnifications,
and Refusal Agreements, that neither NHP nor MLD would enter into the Purchase
Contract Assignments, Purchase Contracts, Leases, Lease Guaranties, Capital
Agreements, Deposit Agreements, Development Agreements, Development Guaranties,
Environmental Indemnifications, and Refusal Agreements without the execution and
delivery by Elder, BCC and Developer of this Agreement, that such execution and
delivery is a condition precedent to NHP's or MLD's respective obligations under
the Purchase Contract Assignments, Purchase Contracts, Leases, Lease Guaranties,
Capital Agreements, Deposit Agreements, Development Agreements, Development
Guaranties, Environmental Indemnifications, and Refusal Agreements, and that the
Transactions are each subject to final approval by NHP.
NOW, THEREFORE, taking the foregoing paragraphs A through C (the
"RECITALS") into account, and in consideration of the mutual covenants,
agreements, and conditions set forth herein and in the Purchase Contract
Assignments, Purchase Contracts, Leases, Lease Guaranties, Capital Agreements,
Deposit Agreements, Development Agreements, Development Guaranties,
Environmental Indemnifications, and Refusal Agreements, and for other good and
valuable
-2-
<PAGE> 3
consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
1. DEFINITION OF AFFILIATE. For purposes of any of the Transactions,
this Agreement, the Purchase Contracts, Purchase Contract Assignments, Leases,
Lease Guaranties, Capital Agreements, Deposit Agreements, Development
Agreements, Development Guaranties, Environmental Indemnifications, and Refusal
Agreements, and any other documents executed by any of the parties hereto, any
Tenants or their respective Affiliates (as defined herein) with respect to the
Transactions:(a) the term "AFFILIATE" is defined to mean with respect to any
person or entity, any other person or entity which controls, is controlled by or
is under common control with the first person or entity, and the term
"AFFILIATES" is defined to mean any group of such persons or entities; (b) the
term "CONTROL" is expressly deemed to include any actual discretion or power to
direct the affairs of the controlled person or entity, either directly or
through a chain of ownership or control (regardless of actual ownership); (c) a
general partner, manager, or managing member of a partnership or limited
liability company, and any owner of thirty percent (30%) or more of such general
partner or managing member, is expressly deemed to control such partnership or
limited liability company; (d) a person or entity owning thirty percent (30%) or
more of the common stock of a corporation or thirty percent (30%) or more of the
voting interest in any other type of entity, is expressly deemed to control such
corporation or other entity; (e) a trustee of a trust is expressly deemed to
control such trust; (f) Tenants and Elder, and any entity which is an Affiliate
of any of the aforementioned entities in this clause (f), are all expressly
deemed to be Affiliates of each other, and (g) BCC, Developer, Managers and any
entity which is an Affiliate of any of the aforementioned entities in this
clause (g) are all expressly deemed to be Affiliates of each other.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term "Affiliate" shall not include any person
or entity that is an equity owner or parent entity of Elder Care Operators, LLC,
a Delaware limited liability company; provided, however, this exclusion
provision shall not exclude BCC, Developer, Manager, or Tenant as an Affiliate.
2. CROSS DEFAULT PROVISIONS. BCC, Elder, and Developer each hereby
acknowledges and agrees that a material default by BCC, Developer, Elder, any
Tenant, or their respective Affiliates under any obligation owed by BCC,
Developer, Elder, any Tenant, or their respective Affiliates to NHP, MLD or any
Affiliate of NHP or MLD arising under or in connection with the Transactions,
including, without limitation, a material default under the Purchase Contract
Assignments, Leases, Lease Guaranties, Capital Agreements, Deposit Agreements,
Development Agreements, Development Guaranties, Environmental Indemnifications,
and Refusal Agreements and any related financing statements, collateral
assignments, or security agreements (hereinafter individually referred to as an
"OBLIGATION" and collectively referred to in this Agreement as the
"OBLIGATIONS"), which default is not cured within any applicable cure period
provided in the documentation for such Obligation, shall, in the NHP's sole,
absolute, and uncontrolled discretion, constitute an event of default for
purposes of and under (A) such Obligation, and (B) any or all of the other
Obligations under the Transactions.
3. CROSS RENEWAL PROVISIONS. The Lease or Leases (in the case of Leases
with identical effective dates) with the earliest effective date for any of the
Transactions entered into by and between NHP, MLD or their respective Affiliates
and a Tenant are hereinafter sometimes individually referred to
-3-
<PAGE> 4
as an "INITIAL LEASE" and sometimes collectively referred to as the "INITIAL
LEASES". All other Leases (excluding the Initial Leases) and all subleases of
such other Leases (not including subleases to residents of Facilities) for any
of the Transactions are hereinafter sometimes individually referred to as an
"OTHER Lease" and collectively referred to as the "OTHER LEASES". Any renewal or
extension options at any time made a part of any of the Leases for any of the
Transactions are hereinafter sometimes individually referred to as a "RENEWAL
OPTION" and collectively referred to as the "RENEWAL OPTIONS". BCC, Elder, and
Developer each hereby agrees that: (A) if any Renewal Option under any Initial
Lease or any sublease of an Initial Lease is exercised by any person having the
legal authority to exercise such Renewal Option (hereinafter referred to as the
"EXERCISED RENEWAL OPTION"), then all Specified Renewal Options (defined below)
in the other Initial Leases and Other Leases (whether or not previously
exercised) for any of the Transactions shall be deemed to have been
automatically exercised, without any additional actions being required to be
taken by BCC, Elder, Developer, any Tenants, NHP, MLD, or their respective
Affiliates; and (B) if any Renewal Option under any Initial Lease or any
sublease of an Initial Lease is not timely exercised by a person having the
legal authority to exercise such Renewal Option or has not been automatically
deemed exercised pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof (hereinafter referred to as an
"UNEXERCISED RENEWAL OPTION"), then all Specified Renewal Options in the other
Initial Leases and Other Leases (whether or not previously exercised) and all
subsequent Renewal Options contained in any of the Leases for any of the
Transactions shall be deemed to have automatically terminated and shall
thereupon be null and void. For purposes of this Agreement, and with regard to
the Transactions, "SPECIFIED RENEWAL OPTIONS" means all Renewal Options in the
other Initial Leases and Other Leases which by their terms may be exercised
within three (3) years prior to or following the beginning date of the renewal
term of the Initial Lease to which the Exercised Renewal Option or an
Unexercised Renewal Option, as applicable, relates. Upon the occurrence of an
Exercised Renewal Option, BCC, Elder, Developer, the Tenants and any of their
Affiliates each hereby irrevocably appoints NHP as their true and lawful
attorney-in-fact for the sole purpose of executing any documents necessary,
advisable or convenient, in NHP's sole discretion, to evidence the exercise of
any and all Specified Renewal Options under this Agreement, and, more
specifically, they each hereby (AA) authorize NHP to execute on their behalf all
documents necessary to exercise any or all of the Specified Renewal Options,
(BB) agree this power of attorney shall be irrevocable and uncontestable by the
BCC, Elder, Developer, the Tenants, or their respective Affiliates, successors,
or assigns, and (CC) acknowledge and agree this power of attorney is given as
security and coupled with an interest.
4. RENEWAL OPTION CURE PROVISIONS. Notwithstanding anything else in
this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of an Unexercised Renewal Option,
the Specified Renewal Options in the other Initial Leases and the Other Leases
(whether or not previously exercised) for any of the Transactions shall not be
deemed to have automatically terminated and shall not thereupon be null and
void, until and unless: (A) NHP gives written notice (in the manner required
under Section 8 hereof) to BCC and Elder of the occurrence of an Unexercised
Renewal Option, and (B) NHP does not receive, within ten (10) calendar days from
the deemed receipt date of the notice required under Section 4(a) hereof, a
written and signed notice (in the manner required under Section 8 hereof)
(hereinafter referred to as a "LATE RENEWAL NOTICE") from BCC, Elder or the
Tenant under the applicable Initial Lease which states that the Tenant under the
applicable Initial Lease desires to exercise the Renewal Option to which such
Unexercised Renewal Option relates. Nothing in this Section 3 shall be construed
as extending the time period set forth
-4-
<PAGE> 5
in any Initial Lease or Other Lease for exercising a Renewal Option. In the
event NHP receives a Late Renewal Notice, then (AA) NHP (as applicable) shall
have the option, at its sole discretion, to either renew or not renew any or all
Expired Leases, and (BB) all Specified Renewal Options shall be deemed to have
been automatically exercised (as otherwise provided in Section 2 hereof). For
purposes of this Agreement and with regard to the Transactions, the term
"EXPIRED LEASES" means the Initial Lease and all Other Leases for which the
otherwise applicable Renewal Option has expired, whether or not the Term (as
defined in each Initial Lease or Other Lease) has expired.
5. BCC PURCHASE OPTION. Provided that (i) all the Leases are still in
effect, and (ii) no Event of Default (as defined in the respective Leases and
subject to Section 2 hereof) under any of the Leases remains uncured as of (A)
BCC's exercise of its option to purchase the Properties pursuant to this Section
5, and (B) the closing date established to consummate the purchase of the
Properties pursuant to BCC's exercise of such option, BCC shall have the option
to purchase (or cause a BCC Affiliate to purchase) all but not less than all of
the Properties upon the following terms and conditions:
(a) Not more than thirty (30) days before or after the date
which is twelve (12) months prior to the end of the then current Term
(as defined in the Initial Leases) of the Initial Leases, BCC may, but
is not obligated to, exercise an option to purchase all but not less
than all of the Properties by giving NHP written notice thereof;
(b) The purchase price for the Properties shall be payable in
cash by BCC and shall be equal to the greater of (i) the aggregate fair
market value of the Properties on the date of BCC's exercise of its
option pursuant to this Section 5 (the "OPTION DATE"), or (ii) the
aggregate Landlord's Investment (as defined in each Lease) for all the
Leases on the Option Date. If within ten (10) days of the date of BCC's
exercise of its option under this Section 5 BCC and NHP are unable to
agree on the fair market value of the Properties, such fair market
value shall be established by the appraisal process prescribed in each
of the Leases with respect to the setting of fair market value for
purposes of determining Minimum Rent (as defined in each Lease) for any
Renewal Term (as defined in each Lease). Such fair market value must be
finally determined no later than ninety (90) calendar days after BCC's
exercise of its option under this Section 5 or BCC shall lose its right
to purchase the Properties unless the failure to determine value was
caused by the willful acts or omissions of NHP;
(c) Once the purchase price is established pursuant to the
above, NHP, as seller (hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to
as "SELLERS"), and BCC and/or its designated Affiliates, as buyer
(hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as "BUYERS"), shall
immediately open an escrow to consummate such purchase at a national
title company selected by NHP on the following terms: (i) the form of
such instructions to be then signed by Sellers and Buyers shall be such
title company's standard sale escrow instructions without any
representations or warranties and without due diligence or other
contingencies in favor of Buyers, (ii) the purchase price shall be
payable in cash by Buyers upon the expiration of the then current Term
of the Initial Leases (as defined therein), (iii) Buyers shall pay all
transaction costs, (iv) at close, Sellers shall deliver title to the

liens created by Sellers (other than liens, Leases, subleases, and
related instruments entered into, caused, or created in whole or in
part by BCC, Elder, Developer, Manager, Buyers, Tenants, or their
respective Affiliates), (v) the sale escrow instructions shall provide
for a deposit equal to five percent (5%) of the purchase price and
shall provide that the deposit may be retained by Sellers as liquidated
damages in the event of any breach by Buyers of the terms of the escrow
instructions (provided, however, such liquidated damages shall relate
only to Sellers' damages by reason of a breach of the escrow
instructions and shall in no way liquidate or limit Sellers' damages by
reason of a breach of this Lease), (vi) the escrow shall close on the
last day of the then current Term or the Initial Lease, and (vii) the
escrow instructions shall otherwise be in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to NHP;
(d) If BCC fails to close the escrow for any reason other than
a breach by NHP, then NHP shall have the right to extend the then
current Term (as defined in each Lease) of each of the Leases for the
Transactions for an additional year. The Additional Rent (as defined in
each Lease) and Minimum Rent (as defined in each Lease) during such
year extension period shall be calculated as if on the Option Date BCC
had instead exercised its right under each Lease to extend the Term for
a Renewal Term; and
(e) On such terms as may be mutually agreed to by and between
NHP and BCC, and subject to the requirement that all of the Properties
in connection with the Transaction be purchased in the event BCC
exercises its option under this Section 5, NHP agrees to permit BCC to
designate (i) pools of Properties ("POOLS") to be purchased, and (ii)
joint venture partners to invest with BCC in such Pools. Each of such
Pools shall be subject to the requirements otherwise set forth in this
Section 5.
6. DEVELOPMENT FEES AND BUDGETS.
(a) Notwithstanding any provisions of the Development
Agreements to the contrary, BCC and Developer hereby acknowledge and
agree that the aggregate development fees (the "DEVELOPMENT FEES") paid
to Developer by NHP and MLD with respect to the development of the
Properties in connection with the Transaction pursuant to the
Development Agreements, shall be a part of NHP's Maximum Investment and
shall be limited to six and one-half percent (6.5%) of NHP's Maximum
Investment. In the event the aggregate Development Fees paid by NHP and
its Affiliates ever exceeds NHP's Maximum Investment, Developer hereby
agrees to refund the amount of such excess to NHP within ten (10)
calendar days of Developer's deemed receipt of written notice from NHP
of the fact and amount of such excess (the "REFUND AMOUNT"); provided,
further, in the event Developer fails to refund the Refund Amount to
NHP within the Refund Period, BCC hereby agrees to reimburse to NHP the
Refund Amount, within ten (10) days of BCC's receipt of written notice
from NHP of the facts of Developer's failure to refund the Refund
Amount, which payment shall directly offset the Refund Amount due from
Developer.
(b) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement or the
Development Agreements for any of the Transactions to the contrary, if
the Development Advance amount defined in a Development Agreement is
greater than the aggregate amounts paid
-6-
<PAGE> 7
by NHP with respect to all Applications for Payment made by Developer
pursuant to such Development Agreement (the "TOTAL FACILITY FUNDINGS"),
then any such excess (the "UNDER BUDGET AMOUNT") may be applied, to the
extent of such Under Budget Amount, in payment of any Over Budget
Application for Payment submitted to NHP or its Affiliate with respect
to another Development Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the
term "OVER BUDGET APPLICATION FOR PAYMENT" shall mean any Application
for Payment (as defined in the applicable Development Agreement) which,
if paid, would cause the Total Facility Fundings paid pursuant to a
Development Agreement to exceed the Development Advance amount defined
in such Development Agreement. To determine whether there is an
available Under Budget Amount, the Total Facility Fundings may only be
calculated following the later of (i) the date on which the
Improvements are deemed substantially complete (as determined under the
applicable Development Agreement), (ii) the deemed receipt date by NHP
or its Affiliate of the Final Application for Payment. For purposes of
this Agreement, the term "FINAL APPLICATION FOR PAYMENT" shall mean an
Application for Payment identified by the Developer as the final
Application for Payment to be submitted by Developer with respect to
the applicable Development Agreement. Nothing in this Paragraph 6 shall
be construed so as to require NHP and its Affiliates to pay any amount
which would cause the aggregate payments made by them (pursuant to this
Agreement and the Development Agreements) to exceed NHP's Maximum
Investment.
7. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. All the Properties in connection with the
Transactions shall be subject to this Master Agreement. Prior to entering into
any Lease or sublease of a Lease (except with respect to any resident
agreements), the proposed Tenant under such Lease or sublease, must execute an
estoppel certificate in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT "B", acknowledging
and agreeing that Tenant's leasehold interest under the applicable Lease is
subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the proposed Manager
of any Facility located on the Property which is the subject of such Lease or
sublease must execute an estoppel certificate in the form attached hereto as
EXHIBIT "C", acknowledging and agreeing that Manager shall comply with and not
take any actions which violate the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the
applicable Lease.
8. NOTICE. All notices and demands, certificates, requests, consents,
approvals, and other similar instruments under this Agreement shall be in
writing and shall be deemed to have been properly given upon actual receipt
thereof or within three (3) business days of being placed in the United States
certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid (a) if

9. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. BCC, Elder, and Developer each
understands and acknowledges that NHP is relying upon the respective
representations of such parties set forth in this Agreement, and that NHP may
rely on such party's representations for all purposes, including without
limitation all the Transactions, all the Development Agreements, and all the
Leases. The Recitals set forth above are hereby incorporated by this reference
and made a part of this Agreement. BCC, Elder, and Developer each hereby
acknowledges, represents and warrants that the Recitals are true and correct.
10. MISCELLANEOUS. This Agreement may be executed in multiple
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall
constitute one and the same document. This Agreement shall be binding upon the
successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto (and the Affiliates of
such parties, successors, and permitted assigns). For purposes of the
Transactions and this Agreement, the term "NHP" shall include NHP or its
Affiliates and any subsequent owner of NHP's or its Affiliate's interest in any
of the Leases or Properties, or any assignee of NHP's or its Affiliate's rights
under any instruments or agreements memorializing or evidencing the Obligations
in connection with the Transactions. This Agreement shall be construed and
enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Texas, without
regard to the rules governing choice of law. The parties hereto agree that venue
for any and all lawsuits related to this Agreement shall be in Harris County,
Texas.
11. NO JOINT VENTURE. The parties to this Agreement do not intend by
this Agreement to in any way or for any purpose become partners of each other or
in the conduct of any business, joint venturers of each other, or members of a
joint enterprise with each other, it being understood and agreed between the
parties that each party is and shall be, for all purposes of this Agreement,
acting independently of each other and/or as independent contractors.
12. INCREASES IN NHP'S MAXIMUM INVESTMENT. The parties may in the
future mutually agree in writing, by amendment of this Agreement, to (i)
increase the number of Properties or Facilities governed by this Agreement (ii)
apply any Under Budget Amount to the development of improvements on such
additional Properties or Facilities, and/or (iii) increase NHP's Maximum
Investment; provided, however, if and when BCC or its Affiliates have received
assignment of and/or assumed the rights, duties, and obligations of the Tenants
under all the Leases for all the Transactions, then (A) BCC and its Affiliates
hereby agree that all similar transactions by and between NHP and its Affiliates
and BCC and its Affiliates, shall be defined as Transactions for purposes of
this Agreement and be subject to this Agreement for all purposes, and (B) for
purposes of this sentence, Elder Care, Oakhaven, and such Tenants shall cease to
be parties to this Agreement. NHP's Maximum Investment shall not be increased
for any reason without the express written consent of NHP, which consent shall
be at the sole discretion of NHP, and no application of an Under Budget Amount
as contemplated in Paragraph 6(b) above shall constitute a consent to increase
NHP's Maximum Investment.
This Agreement is made effective as of March 27, 1998.

-----------------------------------------
THIS SECOND SERIES MASTER INVESTMENT AGREEMENT (this "AGREEMENT") is

AT TEAY'S VALLEY, L.L.C. (such Delaware limited liability companies being
hereinafter individually referred to as a "Tenant" and collectively as
"TENANTS"), and NATIONWIDE HEALTH PROPERTIES, INC., a Maryland corporation
("NHP").
RECITALS:
A. NHP, Tenants, Developer, and BCC have agreed to enter into a series
of five (5) transactions, as specifically set forth in EXHIBIT "A" attached
hereto and included herein for all purposes as though fully set forth
(hereinafter individually referred to as a "TRANSACTION" and collectively
referred to as the "TRANSACTIONS"), each of which will include the purchase,
lease, and development of certain tracts or parcels of real property, together
with all improvements thereon, all personal property to be leased therewith, and
all appurtenances thereto (hereinafter individually referred to as a "PROPERTY"
and collectively referred to as the "PROPERTIES"), with the sum of the aggregate
purchase prices and aggregate development fees and costs for the Properties
("NHP'S MAXIMUM INVESTMENT") to be limited to Twenty-Five Million Nine Hundred
Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($25,900,000.00).
B. The Transactions are generally expected to take the following form:
(a) each of the Properties are to be located, identified, and chosen by BCC or
its Affiliates (defined below), which will enter into option or purchase
agreements (hereinafter individually referred to as a "PURCHASE CONTRACT" and
collectively referred to as the "PURCHASE CONTRACTS") by and between various
third parties, as seller, and BCC, as buyer; (b) following the exercise of an
option or the firm decision by BCC to proceed with a purchase pursuant to a
Purchase Contract, BCC will assign all its rights, duties, and obligations under
such Purchase Contract to NHP, pursuant to an assignment of purchase contract
agreement (the "PURCHASE CONTRACT ASSIGNMENTS"); (c) NHP will purchase the
respective Properties upon the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable
Purchase Contracts, and any amendments thereto required by NHP; (d)
simultaneously with the closing of each Purchase Contract, one of the Tenants
will lease from NHP the applicable Property, pursuant to the terms and
conditions set forth in a lease and security agreement (hereinafter individually
referred to as a "LEASE" and collectively referred to as the "LEASES"), which
Leases will typically provide for an initial term of eleven (11) years and for
three (3) separate renewal terms of six (6) years each; (e) as additional
security for the obligations of Tenants under each respective Lease, BCC will
enter into working capital assurance agreements with NHP (the "CAPITAL
AGREEMENTS"), whereby BCC agrees to make working capital loans to the applicable
Tenant, and as further security, NHP will be a party to deposit pledge
agreements (the "DEPOSIT AGREEMENTS") whereby each applicable Tenant pledges a
minimum amount of capital as a working capital reserve for its operations; (f)
each
-1-
<PAGE> 2
property will be developed, used, and licensed (by the State in which such
Property is located) as an assisted living facility, personal care home,
independent living facility, or similar adult care facility (hereinafter
individually referred to as a "FACILITY" and collectively referred to as the
"FACILITIES"), including (at BCC's option) such ancillary services for
independent living, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, or Alzheimer's or dementia
care as are permitted by law and may be necessary or incidental thereto; (g)
Developer will act as developer of each of the Properties, pursuant to the terms
and conditions of development agreements (hereinafter individually referred to
as a "DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT" and collectively referred to as the "DEVELOPMENT
AGREEMENTS") to be entered into by and between Developer and NHP, with the
aggregate development fees paid to Developer under the Development Agreements
being funded out of NHP's Maximum Investment and limited to an amount equal to
six and one-half percent (6.5%) of NHP's Maximum Investment; (h) BCC will
guarantee the obligations of Developer under each respective Development
Agreement and the completion of all improvements contemplated in such
Development Agreements, pursuant to a guaranty agreement with NHP (the
"DEVELOPMENT GUARANTIES"), (i) each of the Tenants will enter into a management
agreement with a newly formed subsidiary of BCC, whereby such BCC subsidiary
agrees to manage the respective Facility on behalf of the respective Tenant
(such BCC subsidiaries being hereinafter collectively referred to as the
"MANAGERS"), (j) BCC will indemnify NHP with respect to possible environmental
hazards on each applicable Property by means of environmental indemnification
agreements (the "ENVIRONMENTAL INDEMNIFICATIONS"), and (k) NHP will grant rights
of first refusal to BCC with respect to any proposed sales of the Properties, by
means of right of first refusal agreements ("REFUSAL AGREEMENTS").
C. BCC, each of the Tenants, and Developer each acknowledges and agrees
that this Agreement is given as an inducement to NHP to consummate the
Transactions and to enter into the Purchase Contract Assignments, Purchase
Contracts, Leases, Capital Agreements, Deposit Agreements, Development
Agreements, Development Guaranties, Environmental Indemnifications, and Refusal
Agreements, that NHP would not enter into the Purchase Contract Assignments,
Purchase Contracts, Leases, Capital Agreements, Deposit Agreements, Development
Agreements, Development Guaranties, Environmental Indemnifications, and Refusal
Agreements without the execution and delivery by Tenants' Owner, BCC and
Developer of this Agreement, that such execution and delivery is a condition
precedent to NHP's obligations under the Purchase Contract Assignments, Purchase
Contracts, Leases, Capital Agreements, Deposit Agreements, Development
Agreements, Development Guaranties, Environmental Indemnifications, and Refusal
Agreements, and that the Transactions are each subject to final approval by NHP.
NOW, THEREFORE, taking the foregoing paragraphs A through C (the
"RECITALS") into account, and in consideration of the mutual covenants,
agreements, and conditions set forth herein and in the Purchase Contract
Assignments, Purchase Contracts, Leases, Capital Agreements, Deposit Agreements,
Development Agreements, Development Guaranties, Environmental Indemnifications,
and Refusal Agreements, and for other good and valuable consideration the
receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto,
intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
1. DEFINITION OF AFFILIATE. For purposes of any of the Transactions,
this
-2-
<PAGE> 3
agreement, the Purchase Contracts, Purchase Contract Assignments, Leases,
Capital Agreements, Deposit Agreements, Development Agreements, Development
Guaranties, Environmental Indemnifications, and Refusal Agreements, and any
other documents executed by any of the parties hereto, any Tenants or their
respective Affiliates (as defined herein) with respect to the Transactions:(a)
the term "AFFILIATE" is defined to mean with respect to any person or entity,
any other person or entity which controls, is controlled by or is under common
control with the first person or entity, and the term "AFFILIATES" is defined to
mean any group of such persons or entities; (b) the term "CONTROL" is expressly
deemed to include any actual discretion or power to direct the affairs of the
controlled person or entity, either directly or through a chain of ownership or
control (regardless of actual ownership); (c) a general partner, manager, or
managing member of a partnership or limited liability company, and any owner of
thirty percent (30%) or more of such general partner or managing member, is
expressly deemed to control such partnership or limited liability company; (d) a
person or entity owning thirty percent (30%) or more of the common stock of a
corporation or thirty percent (30%) or more of the voting interest in any other
type of entity, is expressly deemed to control such corporation or other entity;
(e) a trustee of a trust is expressly deemed to control such trust; (f) Tenants
and any entity which is an Affiliate of any of the Tenants, are all expressly
deemed to be Affiliates of each other, and (g) BCC, Developer, Managers and any
entity which is an Affiliate of any of the aforementioned entities in this
clause (g) are all expressly deemed to be Affiliates of each other.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term "Affiliate" shall not include any person
or entity that is an equity owner or parent entity of any of the Tenants;
provided, however, this exclusion provision shall not exclude BCC, Developer,
Manager, or any Tenant as an Affiliate.
2. CROSS DEFAULT PROVISIONS. BCC, each of the Tenants, and Developer
each hereby acknowledges and agrees that a material default by BCC, Developer,
any Tenant, or their respective Affiliates under any obligation owed by BCC,
Developer, any Tenant, or their respective Affiliates to NHP or any Affiliate of
NHP arising under or in connection with the Transactions, including, without
limitation, a material default under the Purchase Contract Assignments, Leases,
Lease Guaranties, Capital Agreements, Deposit Agreements, Development
Agreements, Development Guaranties, Environmental Indemnifications, and Refusal
Agreements and any related financing statements, collateral assignments, or
security agreements (hereinafter individually referred to as an "OBLIGATION" and
collectively referred to in this Agreement as the "OBLIGATIONS"), which default
is not cured within any applicable cure period provided in the documentation for
such Obligation, shall, in NHP's sole, absolute, and uncontrolled discretion,
constitute an event of default for purposes of and under (A) such Obligation,
and (B) any or all of the other Obligations under the Transactions.
3. CROSS RENEWAL PROVISIONS. The Lease or Leases (in the case of Leases
with identical effective dates) with the earliest effective date for any of the
Transactions entered into by and between NHP, their respective Affiliates and a
Tenant are hereinafter sometimes individually referred to as an "INITIAL LEASE"
and sometimes collectively referred to as the "INITIAL LEASES". All other Leases
(excluding the Initial Leases) and all subleases of such other Leases (not
including subleases to residents of Facilities) for any of the Transactions are
hereinafter sometimes individually referred to as an "OTHER LEASE" and
collectively referred to as the "OTHER LEASES". Any renewal or extension options
at any time made a part
-3-
<PAGE> 4
of any of the Leases for any of the Transactions are hereinafter sometimes
individually referred to as a "RENEWAL OPTION" and collectively referred to as
the "RENEWAL OPTIONS". BCC, each of the Tenants, and Developer each hereby
agrees that: (A) if any Renewal Option under any Initial Lease or any sublease
of an Initial Lease is exercised by any person having the legal authority to
exercise such Renewal Option (hereinafter referred to as the "EXERCISED RENEWAL
OPTION"), then all Specified Renewal Options (defined below) in the other
Initial Leases and Other Leases (whether or not previously exercised) for any of
the Transactions shall be deemed to have been automatically exercised, without
any additional actions being required to be taken by BCC, Developer, any
Tenants, NHP, or their respective Affiliates; and (B) if any Renewal Option
under any Initial Lease or any sublease of an Initial Lease is not timely
exercised by a person having the legal authority to exercise such Renewal Option
or has not been automatically deemed exercised pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof
(hereinafter referred to as an "UNEXERCISED RENEWAL OPTION"), then all Specified
Renewal Options in the other Initial Leases and Other Leases (whether or not
previously exercised) and all subsequent Renewal Options contained in any of the
Leases for any of the Transactions shall be deemed to have automatically
terminated and shall thereupon be null and void. For purposes of this Agreement,
and with regard to the Transactions, "SPECIFIED RENEWAL OPTIONS" means all
Renewal Options in the other Initial Leases and Other Leases which by their
terms may be exercised within three (3) years prior to or following the
beginning date of the renewal term of the Initial Lease to which the Exercised
Renewal Option or an Unexercised Renewal Option, as applicable, relates. Upon
the occurrence of an Exercised Renewal Option, BCC, Developer, each of the
Tenants and any of their Affiliates each hereby irrevocably appoints NHP as
their true and lawful attorney-in-fact for the sole purpose of executing any
documents necessary, advisable or convenient, in NHP's sole discretion, to
evidence the exercise of any and all Specified Renewal Options under this
Agreement, and, more specifically, they each hereby (AA) authorize NHP to
execute on their behalf all documents necessary to exercise any or all of the
Specified Renewal Options, (BB) agree this power of attorney shall be
irrevocable and uncontestable by the BCC, Developer, any of the Tenants, or
their respective Affiliates, successors, or assigns, and (CC) acknowledge and
agree this power of attorney is given as security and coupled with an interest.
4. RENEWAL OPTION CURE PROVISIONS. Notwithstanding anything else in
this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of an Unexercised Renewal Option,
the Specified Renewal Options in the other Initial Leases and the Other Leases
(whether or not previously exercised) for any of the Transactions shall not be
deemed to have automatically terminated and shall not thereupon be null and
void, until and unless: (A) NHP gives written notice (in the manner required
under Section 8 hereof) to BCC and the Tenants of the occurrence of an
Unexercised Renewal Option, and (B) NHP does not receive, within ten (10)
calendar days from the deemed receipt date of the notice required under Section
4(a) hereof, a written and signed notice (in the manner required under Section 8
hereof) (hereinafter referred to as a "LATE RENEWAL NOTICE") from BCC or the
Tenant under the applicable Initial Lease which states that the Tenant under the
applicable Initial Lease desires to exercise the Renewal Option to which such
Unexercised Renewal Option relates. Nothing in this Section 3 shall be construed
as extending the time period set forth in any Initial Lease or Other Lease for
exercising a Renewal Option. In the event NHP receives a Late Renewal Notice,
then (AA) NHP (as applicable) shall have the option, at its sole discretion, to
either renew or not renew
-4-
<PAGE> 5
any or all Expired Leases, and (BB) all Specified Renewal Options shall be
deemed to have been automatically exercised (as otherwise provided in Section 2
hereof). For purposes of this Agreement and with regard to the Transactions, the
term "EXPIRED LEASES" means the Initial Lease and all Other Leases for which the
otherwise applicable Renewal Option has expired, whether or not the Term (as
defined in each Initial Lease or Other Lease) has expired.
5. BCC PURCHASE OPTION. Provided that (i) all the Leases are still in
effect, and (ii) no Event of Default (as defined in the respective Leases and
subject to Section 2 hereof) under any of the Leases remains uncured as of (A)
BCC's exercise of its option to purchase the Properties pursuant to this Section
5, and (B) the closing date established to consummate the purchase of the
Properties pursuant to BCC's exercise of such option, BCC shall have the option
to purchase (or cause a BCC Affiliate to purchase) all but not less than all of
the Properties upon the following terms and conditions:
(a) Not more than thirty (30) days before or after the date
which is twelve (12) months prior to the end of the then current Term
(as defined in the Initial Leases) of the Initial Leases, BCC may, but
is not obligated to, exercise an option to purchase all but not less
than all of the Properties by giving NHP written notice thereof;
(b) The purchase price for the Properties shall be payable in
cash by BCC and shall be equal to the greater of (i) the aggregate fair
market value of the Properties on the date of BCC's exercise of its
option pursuant to this Section 5 (the "OPTION DATE"), or (ii) the
aggregate Landlord's Investment (as defined in each Lease) for all the
Leases on the Option Date. If within ten (10) days of the date of BCC's
exercise of its option under this Section 5 BCC and NHP are unable to
agree on the fair market value of the Properties, such fair market
value shall be established by the appraisal process prescribed in each
of the Leases with respect to the setting of fair market value for
purposes of determining Minimum Rent (as defined in each Lease) for any
Renewal Term (as defined in each Lease). Such fair market value must be
finally determined no later than ninety (90) calendar days after BCC's
exercise of its option under this Section 5 or BCC shall lose its right
to purchase the Properties unless the failure to determine value was
caused by the willful acts or omissions of NHP;
(c) Once the purchase price is established pursuant to the
above, NHP, as seller (hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to
as "SELLERS"), and BCC and/or its designated Affiliates, as buyer
(hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as "BUYERS"), shall
immediately open an escrow to consummate such purchase at a national
title company selected by NHP on the following terms: (i) the form of
such instructions to be then signed by Sellers and Buyers shall be such
title company's standard sale escrow instructions without any
representations or warranties and without due diligence or other
contingencies in favor of Buyers, (ii) the purchase price shall be
payable in cash by Buyers upon the expiration of the then current Term
of the Initial Leases (as defined therein), (iii) Buyers shall pay all
transaction costs, (iv) at close, Sellers shall deliver title to the
Properties subject only to those title exceptions agreed to by NHP and
free and clear of any liens created by Sellers (other than liens,
Leases, subleases, and related instruments entered into, caused, or
created in whole or in part
-5-
<PAGE> 6
by BCC, Developer, Manager, Buyers, the Tenants, or their respective
Affiliates), (v) the sale escrow instructions shall provide for a
deposit equal to five percent (5%) of the purchase price and shall
provide that the deposit may be retained by Sellers as liquidated
damages in the event of any breach by Buyers of the terms of the escrow
instructions (provided, however, such liquidated damages shall relate
only to Sellers' damages by reason of a breach of the escrow
instructions and shall in no way liquidate or limit Sellers' damages by
reason of a breach of this Lease), (vi) the escrow shall close on the
last day of the then current Term or the Initial Lease, and (vii) the
escrow instructions shall otherwise be in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to NHP;
(d) If BCC fails to close the escrow for any reason other than
a breach by NHP, then NHP shall have the right to extend the then
current Term (as defined in each Lease) of each of the Leases for the
Transactions for an additional year. The Additional Rent (as defined in
each Lease) and Minimum Rent (as defined in each Lease) during such
year extension period shall be calculated as if on the Option Date BCC
had instead exercised its right under each Lease to extend the Term for
a Renewal Term; and
(e) On such terms as may be mutually agreed to by and between
NHP and BCC, and subject to the requirement that ALL of the Properties
in connection with the Transaction be purchased in the event BCC
exercises its option under this Section 5, NHP agrees to permit BCC to
designate (i) pools of Properties ("POOLS") to be purchased, and (ii)
joint venture partners to invest with BCC in such Pools. Each of such
Pools shall be subject to the requirements otherwise set forth in this
Section 5. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,
the provisions of this Section 5 and the rights and obligations
contained herein shall automatically expire on June 30, 2027.
6. DEVELOPMENT FEES AND BUDGETS.
(a) Notwithstanding any provisions of the Development
Agreements to the contrary, BCC and Developer hereby acknowledge and
agree that the aggregate development fees (the "DEVELOPMENT FEES") paid
to Developer by NHP with respect to the development of the Properties
in connection with the Transaction pursuant to the Development
Agreements, shall be a part of NHP's Maximum Investment and shall be
limited to six and one-half percent (6.5%) of NHP's Maximum Investment.
In the event the aggregate Development Fees paid by NHP and its
Affiliates ever exceeds six and one-half percent (6.5%) of NHP's
Maximum Investment, Developer hereby agrees to refund the amount of
such excess to NHP within ten (10) calendar days of Developer's deemed
receipt of written notice from NHP of the fact and amount of such
excess (the "REFUND AMOUNT"); provided, further, in the event Developer
fails to refund the Refund Amount to NHP within the Refund Period, BCC
hereby agrees to reimburse to NHP the Refund Amount, within ten (10)
days of BCC's receipt of written notice from NHP of the facts of
Developer's failure to refund the Refund Amount, which payment shall
directly offset the Refund Amount due from Developer.

<PAGE> 7
(b) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement or the
Development Agreements for any of the Transactions to the contrary, if
the Development Advance amount defined in a Development Agreement is
greater than the aggregate amounts paid by NHP with respect to all
Applications for Payment made by Developer pursuant to such Development
Agreement (the "TOTAL FACILITY FUNDINGS"), then any such excess (the
"UNDER BUDGET AMOUNT") may be applied, to the extent of such Under
Budget Amount, in payment of any Over Budget Application for Payment
submitted to NHP or its Affiliate with respect to another Development
Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "OVER BUDGET
APPLICATION FOR PAYMENT" shall mean any Application for Payment (as
defined in the applicable Development Agreement) which, if paid, would
cause the Total Facility Fundings paid pursuant to a Development
Agreement to exceed the Development Advance amount defined in such
Development Agreement. To determine whether there is an available Under
Budget Amount, the Total Facility Fundings may only be calculated
following the later of (i) the date on which the Improvements are
deemed substantially complete (as determined under the applicable
Development Agreement), (ii) the deemed receipt date by NHP or its
Affiliate of the Final Application for Payment. For purposes of this
Agreement, the term "FINAL APPLICATION FOR PAYMENT" shall mean an
Application for Payment identified by the Developer as the final
Application for Payment to be submitted by Developer with respect to
the applicable Development Agreement. Nothing in this Paragraph 6 shall
be construed so as to require NHP and its Affiliates to pay any amount
which would cause the aggregate payments made by them (pursuant to this
Agreement and the Development Agreements) to exceed NHP's Maximum
Investment.
7. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. All the Properties in connection with the
Transactions shall be subject to this Master Agreement. Prior to entering into
any Lease or sublease of a Lease (except with respect to any resident
agreements), the proposed Tenant under such Lease or sublease must execute an
estoppel certificate in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT "B", acknowledging
and agreeing that Tenant's leasehold interest under the applicable Lease is
subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the proposed Manager
of any Facility located on the Property which is the subject of such Lease or
sublease must execute an estoppel certificate in the form attached hereto as
EXHIBIT "C", acknowledging and agreeing that Manager shall comply with and not
take any actions which violate the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the
applicable Lease.
8. NOTICE. All notices and demands, certificates, requests, consents,
approvals, and other similar instruments under this Agreement shall be in

Developer each understands and acknowledges that NHP is relying upon the
respective representations of such parties set forth in this Agreement, and that

parties that each party is and shall be, for all purposes of this Agreement,
acting independently of each other and/or as independent contractors.
12. INCREASES IN NHP'S MAXIMUM INVESTMENT. The parties may in the
future mutually agree in writing, by amendment of this Agreement, to (i)
increase the number of Properties or Facilities governed by this Agreement (ii)
apply any Under Budget Amount to the development of improvements on such
additional Properties or Facilities, and/or (iii) increase NHP's Maximum
Investment; provided, however, if and when BCC or its Affiliates have received
assignment of and/or assumed the rights, duties, and obligations of the Tenants
under all the Leases for all the Transactions, then (A) BCC and its Affiliates
hereby agree that all similar transactions and/or leases by and between NHP and
its Affiliates and BCC and its Affiliates, shall be defined as Transactions
and/or Other Leases for purposes of this Agreement and be subject to this
Agreement for all purposes, including, without
-8-
<PAGE> 9
limitation, the cross default and cross renewal provisions set forth herein, and
(B) for purposes of this sentence, Tenants' Owner and such Tenants shall cease
to be parties to this Agreement. NHP's Maximum Investment shall not be increased
for any reason without the express written consent of NHP, which consent shall
be at the sole discretion of NHP, and no application of an Under Budget Amount
as contemplated in Paragraph 6(b) above shall constitute a consent to increase
NHP's Maximum Investment.

Exhibit 10.20
FORM OF FIRST SERIES OPTION AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT ("AGREEMENT") is made as of the Documentation
Date, between Elder Care Operators, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
and Oakhaven Elder Living, Inc., a California corporation (collectively, the
"OPTIONOR") and Balanced Care Corporation, a Delaware corporation, or its
successors and assigns ("BCC").
W I T N E S S E T H
WHEREAS, collectively, Optionor is the owner of 100% of the
equity interests (the "EQUITY INTERESTS") of ______________________________ a
Delaware limited liability company (the "COMPANY"), which Equity Interests are
evidenced by certificate numbers 1 & 2 of the Company, and represent 100% of the
equity interests in the Company; and
WHEREAS, the Company executed and delivered that certain Lease
and Security Agreement dated as of the Documentation Date (the "LEASE") whereby
the Company leased from Nationwide Health Properties, Inc., a Maryland
corporation (the "LESSOR") property, together with all improvements built or to
be built thereon, located in _______________________ as more fully described in
the Lease (the "PROPERTY"); and
WHEREAS, the Company and ____________________________, a
Delaware corporation (the "MANAGEMENT FIRM") have entered into that certain
Management Agreement dated as of the Documentation Date (the "MANAGEMENT
AGREEMENT") whereby the Company has appointed the Management Firm as the
exclusive manager and operator of the Facility; and
WHEREAS, BCC, Optionor and the Company have entered into that
certain Shortfall Funding Agreement dated as of the Documentation Date (the
"SHORTFALL AGREEMENT") whereby, among other matters, BCC has agreed to fund
certain Shortfalls by making loans to the Company, as more fully provided in the
Shortfall Agreement; and
WHEREAS, BCC is willing to enter into the Shortfall Agreement,
and all other Transaction Documents of which BCC is a party, only if Optionor
executes and delivers an option agreement whereby BCC or its successors and
assigns may acquire all of the Equity Interests of the Optionor, on the terms
and conditions provided herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound
hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. GRANT OF OPTION/CONSIDERATION. (a) Optionor hereby grants
to BCC an option (the "OPTION") to purchase all of Optionor's right, title and
interest in and to the Equity Interests on the terms and conditions provided
herein. The Purchase Price for the Equity Interests shall be paid to Optionor on
the Closing Date in immediately available funds. The Option shall be exercisable
by providing written notice to Optionor on or before the ninth anniversary after
the date of this Agreement (the "OPTION TERM").
(b) In consideration of the grant of the Option to BCC, BCC
shall make the following payments (the "OPTION PAYMENTS") to Optionor: (1) on
the earlier of one day after the issuance of the certificate of occupancy for
the Facility or twelve months following the closing of
<PAGE> 2
construction financing under the Development Agreement (the "First Payment
Date"), an amount equal to the Current Yield (as hereinafter defined) on the
Working Capital Reserve actually funded by Optionor through such date, payable
in arrears for the period commencing on such funding date or dates through the
First Payment Date, plus an amount equal to the Current Yield on the Working
Capital Reserve actually funded by Optionor through such date for the next
succeeding 12 month period, payable in advance, (2) on that date which is twelve
months after the First Payment Date (the "Second Payment Date"), an amount
calculated as 25% of the Current Yield on the Working Capital Reserve actually
funded by the Optionor through such date, representing the first quarterly
installment of the annual Current Yield for the following 12 month period,
payable in advance, and (3) thereafter, on the first day of each three-month
period following the Second Payment Date and for so long as this Agreement is in
effect (but ending in all events at the time of exercise of the Option), 25% of
the Current Yield on the Working Capital Reserve actually funded from time to
time by the Optionor, compounded on an annual basis, representing quarterly
installments of the annual Current Yield, payable in advance. "Current Yield" as
used in this Agreement means an annual return equal to 27.5% of the Working
Capital Reserve actually funded from time to time through the date of such
calculation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the
Option is exercised, BCC's obligation to make Option Payments thereafter shall
cease. Option Payments shall be made to Optionors without demand or notice,
except as expressly provided herein.
(c) Until BCC provides written notice of its exercise of the
Option, BCC shall be under no obligation whatsoever to purchase the Equity
Interests or exercise the Option, and shall not otherwise have any liability
whatsoever hereunder in connection with Option Payments or the purchase of the
Equity Interests.
(d) The "PURCHASE PRICE" as used herein shall mean (i) an
amount equal to the Working Capital Reserve actually funded by the Optionor
under the Shortfall Agreement, plus (ii) an amount calculated as the Current
Yield on the Working Capital Reserve actually funded by the Optionor under the
Shortfall Agreement, compounded annually through the Closing Date (as defined
below), plus (iii) the aggregate amount of all Advances and all other
obligations due and payable by the Company or the Optionor to BCC or a BCC
Affiliate under the Transaction Documents through the Closing Date (exclusive of
the Management Fee under the Management Agreement), minus (iv) any Option
Payments. The aggregate amount of all Advances and all other obligations due and
payable by the Company or the Optionor through the Closing Date to BCC or a BCC
Affiliate under the Transaction Documents as provided in Subsection (iii) of
this Section 1(d), shall be paid to BCC or the BCC Affiliate (as appropriate) on
the Closing Date from the Purchase Price. To avoid any doubt, BCC shall receive
a credit against the Purchase Price for Option Payments paid as Current Yield in
advance, to the extent that such advanced Option Payments are attributable to
Current Yield accruing after the Closing Date.
2. CLOSING. (a) The closing of the purchase of the Equity
Interests (the "CLOSING"), pursuant to the exercise of the Option, shall take
place at such time and location in Pennsylvania as shall be designated by BCC
upon three (3) days prior written notice to Optionor (the "CLOSING DATE"). At
the Closing (i) BCC shall deliver the Purchase Price and (ii) Optionor shall
deliver to BCC (A) the certificates representing the original Equity Interests,
together with such powers and other instruments as BCC may request and (B) the
certificate of an appropriate officer of the Company stating that the transfer
of the Equity Interests to BCC has been recorded on the books and records of the
Company, and affirming to BCC such additional matters as BCC may reasonably
request. Additionally, both BCC and Optionor shall take such further actions and
execute and deliver such further documents and instruments as either party may
reasonably
2
<PAGE> 3
request. The Equity Interests shall be transferred to BCC free and
clear of all Liens and restrictions of any kind or nature, except for Liens in
favor of BCC as expressly provided herein and Liens in favor of Lessor as
expressly provided in the Lease.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein
or in the other Transaction Documents and without in any way implying that such
actions are permissible under the Transaction Documents, if and to the extent
that the funding of the Working Capital Reserve is advanced in the form of a
loan to the Company (such advances, together with all interest, penalties and
other costs and fees assessed or incurred in connection therewith, are referred
to herein as the "BORROWINGS"), the Borrowings shall be repaid in full from the
Purchase Price at the Closing. Optionor shall give BCC prior written notice
before authorizing the Company to make any Borrowings, detailing the amount
thereof. BCC shall have the right at the Closing to pay to the holder of any
note evidencing Borrowings from the Purchase Price the total amount outstanding
with respect to the Borrowings.
3. COVENANTS OF OPTIONOR/LEGEND/PLEDGE. (a) Optionor shall
not (i) sell, assign, convey, pledge (except as expressly provided herein),
encumber or otherwise transfer (by operation of law or otherwise) any of
Optionor's rights, title or interest under, in or to the Equity Interests, (ii)
cause or permit the Company to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate, change
its capital structure, issue new or substitute Equity Interests (including the
issuance of warrants) or sell, convey, assign or otherwise transfer all or any
portion of the Company's assets or (iii) cause or permit the Company to
otherwise take any action that with the passage of time and/or the giving of
notice would constitute a default under or a breach of any covenant or provision
of the Shortfall Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.
(b) Optionor shall cause the Company to place the following
legend on all certificates representing Equity Interests:
THE INTERESTS REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO
AN OPTION TO PURCHASE IN FAVOR OF BALANCED CARE CORPORATION
AND ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, AS MORE FULLY SET FORTH IN
THAT CERTAIN OPTION AGREEMENT DATED AS OF MARCH 27, 1998.
(c) To secure the obligations of the Optionor hereunder,
Optionor hereby grants and pledges to BCC a first priority lien and security
interest in the Equity Interests. Such pledge shall be further memorialized by
the Pledge Agreement. For purposes of perfecting the security interest in the
Equity Interests, Optionor shall deliver herewith to BCC possession of all
certificates, instruments, documents and other evidence of Optionor's ownership
of the Equity Interests accompanied by undated powers of attorney or other
appropriate duly executed blank transfer powers. Optionor shall take such
further actions, and execute such further documents, as may be requested by BCC
to effect the pledge and grant of a security interest in the Equity Interests.
(d) In addition to the other covenants stated herein, each
Optionor covenants and agrees that each Optionor shall not, and shall not cause
the Company to, without the prior written consent of BCC: (i) except as
otherwise expressly permitted under the Transaction Documents or the Lease
Documents, create or suffer to exist any Lien or any other type of preferential
arrangement, upon or with respect to any of the properties of Optionor or the
3
<PAGE> 4
Company, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or assign any right to receive
income, (ii) make any distribution of cash or other property or declare or pay
any dividend or distribution on any securities issued by the Company or Optionor

Optionor's Members or shareholders from receiving Option Payments in accordance
with the terms and conditions of this Agreement), (iii) engage in any business
venture or enter into any agreement with respect to any business venture, except
as expressly provided in the Transaction Documents and the Lease Documents with
respect to the Facility, (iv) except as otherwise expressly permitted under the

series of transactions) any of the assets of Optionor or the Company (whether
now owned or hereafter acquired) to, or acquire all or substantially all of the
assets of, any person or Entity, (v) create, assume, guaranty or otherwise
become or remain obligated in respect of, or permit or suffer to exist or to be

make any investment in any newly formed or existing Entity, (vii) amend,

or other similar agreement with any party relating to the provision of
administrative or management service for the benefit of either Optionor or the
Company.

W I T N E S S E T H
WHEREAS, collectively, Optionor is the owner of 100% of the
equity interests (the "EQUITY INTERESTS") of _________________________________,
a Delaware limited liability company (the "COMPANY"), which Equity Interests are
evidenced by certificate number 1 of the Company, and represent 100% of the
equity interests in the Company; and
WHEREAS, the Company executed and delivered that certain Lease
and Security Agreement dated as of the Documentation Date (the "LEASE") whereby
the Company leased from Nationwide Health Properties, Inc., a Maryland
corporation (the "LESSOR") property, together with all improvements built or to
be built thereon, located in ___________________________, as more fully
described in the Lease (the "PROPERTY"); and
WHEREAS, the Company and _________________________________, a
Delaware corporation (the "MANAGEMENT FIRM") have entered into that certain
Management Agreement dated as of the Documentation Date (the "MANAGEMENT
AGREEMENT") whereby the Company has appointed the Management Firm as the
exclusive manager and operator of the Facility; and
WHEREAS, BCC, Optionor and the Company have entered into that
certain Shortfall Funding Agreement dated as of the Documentation Date (the
"SHORTFALL AGREEMENT") whereby, among other matters, BCC has agreed to fund
certain Shortfalls by making loans to the Company, as more fully provided in the
Shortfall Agreement; and
WHEREAS, BCC is willing to enter into the Shortfall Agreement,
and all other Transaction Documents of which BCC is a party, only if Optionor
executes and delivers an option agreement whereby BCC or its successors and
assigns may acquire all of the Equity Interests of the Optionor, on the terms
and conditions provided herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound
hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. GRANT OF OPTION/CONSIDERATION. (a) Optionor hereby grants
to BCC an option (the "OPTION") to purchase all of Optionor's right, title and
interest in and to the Equity Interests on the terms and conditions provided
herein. The Purchase Price for the Equity Interests shall be paid to Optionor on
the Closing Date in immediately available funds. The Option shall be exercisable
by providing written notice to Optionor on or before the ninth anniversary after
the date of this Agreement (the "OPTION TERM").
<PAGE> 2
(b) In consideration of the grant of the Option to BCC, BCC
shall make the following payments (the "OPTION PAYMENTS") to Optionor: (1) on
the earlier of one day after the issuance of the certificate of occupancy for
the Facility or twelve months following the Documentation Date (the "First
Payment Date"), an amount equal to the Current Yield (as hereinafter defined) on
the Working Capital Reserve actually funded under the Senior Note to or for the
benefit of the Company through such date, payable in arrears for the period
commencing on such funding date or dates through the First Payment Date, plus an
amount equal to the Current Yield on the Working Capital Reserve actually funded
under the Senior Note to or for the benefit of the Company through the First
Payment Date for the next succeeding 12 month period, payable in advance, (2) on
that date which is twelve months after the First Payment Date (the "Second
Payment Date"), an amount calculated as 25% of the Current Yield on the Working
Capital Reserve actually funded under the Senior Note to or for the benefit of
the Company through the Second Payment Date, representing the first quarterly
installment of the annual Current Yield for the following 12 month period,
payable in advance, and (3) thereafter, on the first day of the month of each
calendar quarter following the Second Payment Date (i.e. January 1, April 1,
July 1 and October 1, as applicable) and for so long as this Agreement is in
effect (but ending in all events at the time of exercise of the Option), 25% of
the Current Yield on the Working Capital Reserve actually funded from time to
time under the Senior Note to or for the benefit of the Company, compounded on
an annual basis, representing quarterly installments of the annual Current
Yield, payable in advance. "Current Yield" as used in this Agreement means an
annual return equal to 27.5% of the Working Capital Reserve actually funded from
time to time through the date of such calculation. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, if the Option is exercised, BCC's obligation to
make Option Payments thereafter shall cease. Option Payments shall be made to
Optionors without demand or notice, except as expressly provided herein.
(c) Until BCC provides written notice of its exercise of the
Option, BCC shall be under no obligation whatsoever to purchase the Equity
Interests or exercise the Option, and shall not otherwise have any liability
whatsoever hereunder in connection with Option Payments or the purchase of the
Equity Interests.
(d) The "PURCHASE PRICE" as used herein shall mean (i) an
amount equal to the Working Capital Reserve actually funded pursuant to the
Senior Note to or for the benefit of the Company, plus (ii) an amount calculated
as the Current Yield on the Working Capital Reserve actually funded under the
Senior Note to or for the benefit of the Company, compounded annually through
the Closing Date (as defined below), plus (iii) the aggregate amount of all
Advances and all other obligations due and payable by the Company or the
Optionor to BCC or a BCC Affiliate under the Transaction Documents through the
Closing Date (exclusive of the Management Fee under the Management Agreement),
minus (iv) any Option Payments. The aggregate amount of all Advances and all
other obligations due and payable by the Company or the Optionor through the
Closing Date to BCC or a BCC Affiliate under the Transaction Documents as
provided in Subsection (iii) of this Section 1(d), shall be paid to BCC or the
BCC Affiliate (as appropriate) on the Closing Date from the Purchase Price. To
avoid any doubt, BCC shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price for
Option Payments paid as Current Yield in advance, to the extent that such
2
<PAGE> 3
advanced Option Payments are attributable to Current Yield accruing after the
Closing Date.
2. CLOSING. (a) The closing of the purchase of the Equity
Interests (the "CLOSING"), pursuant to the exercise of the Option, shall take
place at such time and location in Pennsylvania as shall be designated by BCC
upon three (3) days prior written notice to Optionor (the "CLOSING DATE"). At
the Closing (i) BCC shall deliver the Purchase Price and (ii) Optionor shall
deliver to BCC (A) the certificates representing the original Equity Interests,
together with such powers and other instruments as BCC may request and (B) the
certificate of an appropriate officer of the Company stating that the transfer
of the Equity Interests to BCC has been recorded on the books and records of the
Company, and affirming to BCC such additional matters as BCC may reasonably
request. Additionally, both BCC and Optionor shall take such further actions and
execute and deliver such further documents and instruments as either party may
reasonably request. The Equity Interests shall be transferred to BCC free and
clear of all Liens and restrictions of any kind or nature, except for Liens in
favor of BCC as expressly provided herein and Liens in favor of Lessor as
expressly provided in the Lease.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein
or in the other Transaction Documents and without in any way implying that such
actions are permissible under the Transaction Documents, if and to the extent
that the funding of the Working Capital Reserve is advanced in the form of a
loan to the Company, including advances made under the Senior Note to or for the
benefit of the Company (such advances, together with all interest, penalties and
other costs and fees assessed or incurred in connection therewith, are referred
to herein as the "BORROWINGS"), the Borrowings shall be repaid in full from the
Purchase Price at the Closing. Optionor shall give BCC prior written notice
before authorizing the Company to make any Borrowings, detailing the amount
thereof. BCC shall have the right at the Closing to pay to the holder of any
note evidencing Borrowings from the Purchase Price the total amount outstanding
with respect to the Borrowings.
3. COVENANTS OF OPTIONOR/LEGEND/PLEDGE. (a) Optionor shall not
(i) sell, assign, convey, pledge (except as expressly provided herein), encumber
or otherwise transfer (by operation of law or otherwise) any of Optionor's
rights, title or interest under, in or to the Equity Interests, (ii) cause or
permit the Company to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate, change its
capital structure, issue new or substitute Equity Interests (including the

otherwise take any action that with the passage of time and/or the giving of

legend on all certificates representing Equity Interests:

all of the assets of, any person or Entity, (v) create, assume, guaranty or

FORM OF FIRST SERIES SHORTFALL FUNDING AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT ("AGREEMENT") is made as of the Documentation
Date by and among __________________________________, a Delaware limited
liability company (the "LESSEE"), the members of Lessee listed on Schedule A
attached hereto (collectively, the "MEMBER") and Balanced Care Corporation, a
Delaware corporation ("BCC").
W I T N E S S E T H
WHEREAS, the Member constitutes the holder of all equity
interests in the Lessee; and
WHEREAS, Lessee executed and delivered the Lease dated as of
the Documentation Date (the "LEASE") between Lessee and Nationwide Health
Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "LESSOR"), whereby Lessee leased
from Lessor property, together with all improvements built or to be built
thereon, located in ___________________ as more fully described in the Lease
(the "PROPERTY"); and
WHEREAS, the Lessee and Balanced Care at Akron, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "MANAGEMENT FIRM") have entered into that certain
Management Agreement dated as of the Documentation Date (the "MANAGEMENT
AGREEMENT") whereby Lessee has appointed the Management Firm as the exclusive
manager and operator of the Facility; and
WHEREAS, Lessor and BCC Development and Management Company,
Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Developer") have entered into a Development
Agreement dated as of the Documentation Date (the "Development Agreement") for
the purpose of developing the Facility; and
WHEREAS, the Developer and the Management Firm are
wholly-owned subsidiaries of BCC; and
WHEREAS, Lessee will deposit with Lessor immediately available
funds from time to time as specifically provided in this Agreement to fund the
Working Capital Reserve (to be used to fund Shortfalls); and
WHEREAS, upon depletion of the Working Capital Reserve, BCC
intends to make Advances to the Lessee, on the terms and conditions herein
stated, to fund continuing Shortfalls; and
WHEREAS, BCC is willing to fund Advances to Lessee covering
Shortfalls upon depletion of the Working Capital Reserve only on the terms and
conditions provided in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound
hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
<PAGE> 2
ARTICLE I
FUNDING SHORTFALLS
SECTION 1.01 FUNDING; CAPITALIZATION OF LESSEE; WORKING
CAPITAL RESERVE. (a) Each Member (jointly and severally if more than one) hereby
agrees to contribute as capital to the Lessee the following capital
contributions:
(i) On the date hereof the Member shall deposit into the
Collateral Account no less than the sum of ________; and
(ii) on or before March 1, 1999 the Member shall deposit into
the Collateral Account funds sufficient to make to the total amounts contributed
to Lessee equal the sum of ________.
Time is of the essence with respect to each contribution described in this
Section 1.01(a).
(b) The contributions described in Section 1.01 (a) shall be
made directly into the Cash Collateral Account. Each contribution of funds into
the Cash Collateral Account as provided in this Section 1.01 is referred to
herein as a "FUNDING", and the aggregate of all Fundings made is collectively
referred to as the "WORKING CAPITAL RESERVE").
(c) In the event that the Member defaults in the timely
payment of Fundings into the Working Capital Reserve as provided in Section 1.01
(a), BCC shall have the right at any time thereafter, but not the obligation, to
require that the Member sell all of the Equity Interests to BCC or its designee
in the manner provided for in the Option Agreement; provided, however, the
purchase price for the Equity Interests (as the case may be) shall be the amount
of Fundings actually deposited by the Member into the Collateral Account, plus
an amount calculated on a pro-rata basis as 27.5% per annum of the amount of
funds actually contributed into the Working Capital Reserve from the date of
deposit through the date of Closing. In such event, all terms and conditions of
the sale applicable to the Option shall be equally applicable to the sale under
this Section 1.01(c), and the failure by the Member (as the case may be) to
close on such sale within 3 days after written notice from BCC (time being of
the essence) shall constitute an Event of Default.
(d) The Member and the Lessee acknowledge and agree that (i)
each Funding constitutes the capital contribution of the Member to the Lessee,
(ii) each Funding is not in any way to be construed as Indebtedness of Lessee
nor to be construed as evidence of a loan from any Member to the Lessee and
(iii) Lessor and the Management Firm may (without notice to Lessee or Member,
and whether acting alone or together) withdraw funds from the Working Capital
Reserve to fund Shortfalls with respect to the Facility as provided in the
Transaction Documents and the Lease Documents.
SECTION 1.02 ADVANCES. Upon complete depletion of the Working
Capital Reserve, and to the extent thereafter of any Shortfall, BCC hereby
agrees to advance from time to time funds to the Lessee upon no less than three
(3) days prior written notice, upon the terms and conditions provided herein
(each advance being an "ADVANCE" and collectively, the "ADVANCES"). Advances
shall be evidenced by one or more promissory notes issued by the
2
<PAGE> 3
Lessee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "NOTES"). The Notes shall
mature on the anniversary of the fifth year after issuance of the first Note
issued under this Agreement. Interest shall accrue on the Notes at the rate of
2% over the Prime Rate as announced from time to time in the Wall Street Journal
(or, in the event of the discontinuance of the publishing of the Prime Rate in
the Wall Street Journal, such other source as the parties may agree), and shall
be payable in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter. All sums owed
under the Notes and hereunder to BCC, and all other obligations and covenants
under the Transaction Documents applicable to Lessee and the Member (including
the obligations of each Member under the Option Agreement), together with all
interest payable under the Transaction Documents and all other costs and
expenses payable by Lessee or any Member to or for the benefit of BCC or any BCC
Affiliate (including indemnification and defense obligations) are referred to
herein as the "OBLIGATIONS". Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained in the Transaction Documents, the provisions of this Section 1.02, and
any Notes issued hereunder, shall be subject in all respects to the terms and
conditions of Section 7(c) of the Option Agreement.
SECTION 1.03 ASSET PURCHASE OPTION. (a) The Lessee and the
Member hereby grant to BCC an option (the "ASSET PURCHASE OPTION") to purchase
all of the assets of the Lessee (including the option to take an assignment of
the Lease) for the Asset Purchase Price. The Asset Purchase Option may be
exercised by BCC by providing written notice to the Lessee at any time during
the term of the Lease. The closing of the purchase of the assets of the Lessee
shall take place within 30 days after BCC exercises the Asset Purchase Option at
such location in Pennsylvania as BCC may designate. At the closing of the asset
purchase, the Lessee shall transfer, assign and convey to BCC (or its designee)
all assets of Lessee, free and clear of all Liens and restrictions of any kind
or nature, except for Liens or restrictions in favor of the Lessor pursuant to
the Lease Documents or in favor of BCC pursuant to the Transaction Documents
(provided, however, Liens in favor of BCC securing Advances or other Obligations
shall be paid in full by Lessee and the Member at the closing of the asset
purchase). The Lessee (and the Member if requested by BCC) shall execute and
deliver at the closing of the asset purchase an assignment of lease (assigning
the Lease to the purchaser), a bill of sale conveying all other assets of the
Lessee and such other documents and instruments as BCC may reasonably request,
all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to BCC. The "ASSET PURCHASE
PRICE" as used herein shall mean (i) all amounts actually funded into the
Working Capital Reserve, plus (ii) an amount (calculated as a yearly return)
equal to 27.5% of the Working Capital Reserve actually funded through Fundings,
compounded annually through the closing date, plus (iii) the aggregate amount of
all Advances and all other Obligations due and payable by Lessee or the Member
to BCC or a BCC Affiliate through the closing date (exclusive of the Management
Fee), minus (iv) any payments made to the Member under the Option Agreement. To
avoid any doubt, BCC shall receive a credit against the Asset Purchase price for
any payments made to the Member under the Option Agreement paid as Current Yield
in advance to the extent that such advance Option Payments are attributable to
Current Yield accruing after the closing date. All Advances and all other
Obligations due and payable by Lessee or the Member to BCC or a BCC Affiliate
through the closing date of the asset purchase shall be payable from the Asset
Purchase Price to BCC or the BCC Affiliate, as appropriate. Notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary contained in the Transaction Documents, the provisions
of this Section 1.03 shall be subject in all respects to the terms and
conditions of Section 7(c) of the Option Agreement.
(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained
herein or in any other
3
<PAGE> 4
Transaction Document, BCC agrees that the Asset Purchase Option shall not be
exercised unless (i) BCC or its designee is prohibited (by operation of law, or
any other reason other than the acts or omissions of BCC or any BCC Affiliate)
from exercising the Option to acquire the Equity Interests pursuant to the
Option Agreement or (ii) the Lessee or any Member is in Default of any covenant,
agreement, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement (except for a
Default in the payment of interest under the Notes) or the Option Agreement,
which Default was not caused by BCC or any BCC Affiliate.
SECTION 1.04 TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS. In addition to the Notes,
and to better secure the performance of Lessee hereunder and under the other
Transaction Documents, Lessee and the Member (as applicable) have executed and
delivered to Lessor or BCC (as applicable) the following:
(i) the Lease and the other Lease Documents to
which it is a party;
(ii) Revolving Credit/Future Advances Leasehold
Mortgage in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B encumbering
the Property in favor of BCC (the "LEASEHOLD MORTGAGE");
(iii) the Deposit Pledge Agreement and the Pledge
Agreement; and
(iv) such other documents, certificates, powers,
affidavits and instrument as BCC may reasonably request.
In addition to the foregoing documents, the Member has
executed and delivered to BCC the Option Agreement (the
"OPTION AGREEMENT") substantially in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit C, whereby each Member has agreed that BCC shall
have an option to purchase the equity interest of each Member
in Lessee, on the terms and conditions provided therein.
SECTION 1.05 INTEREST PAYMENTS. In no event shall the amount
of interest due or payable pursuant to any Transaction Document exceed the
maximum rate of interest allowed by Law and, in the event any such payment is
inadvertently paid by the Lessee or the Member or inadvertently received by BCC
or any BCC Affiliate, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of
principal due to BCC or any BCC Affiliate. It is the express intention of the
parties hereto that neither the Lessee nor the Member pay to BCC, directly or
indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be
lawfully paid by the Lessee.
SECTION 1.06 INTENTION. It is the intention of BCC, the Member
and Lessee that (i) the Management Firm operate the Facility pursuant to the
Management Agreement and that Lessee act as a passive investor with respect to
the Facility, (ii) Lessee include on its financial statements all revenue and
losses with respect to the Facility during the term of this Agreement for

FORM OF SECOND SERIES SHORTFALL FUNDING AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT ("AGREEMENT") is made as of the Documentation
Date by and among ____________________________________, a Delaware limited
liability company (the "LESSEE"), the member(s) of Lessee listed on Schedule A
attached hereto (collectively, the "MEMBER") and Balanced Care Corporation, a
Delaware corporation ("BCC").
W I T N E S S E T H
WHEREAS, the Member constitutes the holder of all equity
interests in the Lessee; and
WHEREAS, Lessee executed and delivered the Lease dated as of
the Documentation Date (the "LEASE") between Lessee and Nationwide Health
Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "LESSOR"), whereby Lessee leased
from Lessor property, together with all improvements built or to be built
thereon, located in ___________________________, as more fully described in the
Lease (the "PROPERTY"); and
WHEREAS, the Lessee and _________________________________, a
Delaware corporation (the "MANAGEMENT FIRM") have entered into that certain
Management Agreement dated as of the Documentation Date (the "MANAGEMENT
AGREEMENT") whereby Lessee has appointed the Management Firm as the exclusive
manager and operator of the Facility; and
WHEREAS, Lessor and BCC Development and Management Company,
Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Developer") have entered into a Development
Agreement dated as of the Documentation Date (the "Development Agreement") for
the purpose of developing the Facility; and
WHEREAS, the Developer and the Management Firm are
wholly-owned subsidiaries of BCC; and
WHEREAS, Lessee will deposit immediately available funds from
time to time as specifically provided in this Agreement to fund the Working
Capital Reserve (to be used to fund Shortfalls); and
WHEREAS, such funds to be deposited in the Working Capital
Reserve will come from the proceeds of the Senior Note issued by Lessee to the
Senior Lender pursuant to the Senior Credit Documents; and
WHEREAS, upon the advance of the entire principal amount of
the Senior Note and depletion of the Working Capital Reserve, BCC intends to
make Advances to the Lessee, on the terms and conditions herein stated, to fund
continuing Shortfalls; and
<PAGE> 2
WHEREAS, BCC is willing to fund Advances to Lessee covering
Shortfalls after the entire amount of the Senior Note has been advanced and upon
depletion of the Working Capital Reserve, only on the terms and conditions
provided in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound
hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
FUNDING SHORTFALLS
SECTION 1.01 FUNDING; CAPITALIZATION OF LESSEE; WORKING
CAPITAL RESERVE. (a) Each Member (jointly and severally if more than one) hereby
agrees to contribute as capital to the Lessee the following capital
contributions:
(i) At such time as BCC or the Management Firm requests, and
upon receipt of advances from Senior Lender under and in accordance with the
Senior Note, the Member and/or the Lessee shall deposit into the Collateral
Account so much of such funds so advanced under the Senior Note, up to the
maximum amount of no less than of $__________, representing 15% of the total
capital needed to fully fund the Working Capital Reserve; and
(ii) on or before August 1, 1999, but subject to the
provisions of Section 1.01(c) below, the Member shall have deposited into the
Collateral Account funds sufficient to make the total amounts contributed to the
Working Capital Reserve equal the sum of $__________.
Time is of the essence with respect to each contribution described in this
Section 1.01(a).
(b) The contributions described in Section 1.01(a) shall be
made directly into the Collateral Account. Each contribution of funds into the
Collateral Account as provided in this Section 1.01 is referred to herein as a
"FUNDING", and the aggregate of all Fundings to be made into the Collateral
Account as provided in Section 1.01(a)(ii) above is referred to as the "WORKING
CAPITAL RESERVE"). As contemplated pursuant to the Senior Note, BCC or the
Management Firm will from time to time request that Fundings be made under the
Senior Note into the Collateral Account to fund the Working Capital Reserve.
Under the Working Capital Assurance Agreement, the Lessor may also request
Fundings. No Fundings may be made into the Collateral Account until such time as
BCC or the Management Firm (or the Lessor, as appropriate) so requests;
provided, however, if BCC or the Management Firm has failed to make a request
for Fundings as provided under the Senior Note (and if the Lessor has failed to
make a request for Fundings pursuant to the Working Capital Assurance
Agreement), and a Shortfall exists, BCC shall be obligated to make Advances
pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.02 below if all other conditions to
making such Advances have been satisfied or waived in writing by
2
<PAGE> 3
BCC.
(c) BCC, the Member and Lessee recognize that Senior Lender
has not committed to fund sums into the Working Capital Reserve in excess of the
principal amount of the Senior Note. Lessee, the Member and BCC understand that
Senior Lender will either approve or disapprove of funding the remainder of the
Working Capital Reserve pursuant to one or more additional senior notes on or
before July 18, 1998. Lessee and the Member agree to provide notice to BCC
within 24 hours of receipt of notice from Senior Lender as to whether Senior
Lender has approved the additional Fundings into the Working Capital Reserve.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in the other
Transaction Documents, in no event shall Lessee or the Member be required to
fully fund the Working Capital Reserve as provide in Section 1.01(a)(ii) above,
in no event shall Lessee or the Member be in Default hereunder, and in no event
shall an Event of Default be declared by BCC or any BCC Affiliate, solely as a
result of a failure by Senior Lender to approve the funding of the remaining
amounts to be deposited into the Working Capital Reserve as provided in this
Section.
(i) In the event Senior Lender approves by July 18, 1998 the
additional Funding pursuant to one or more additional senior notes such that the
Working Capital Reserve will be fully funded by the date provided in Section
1.01(a)(ii) above, Lessee, the Member and BCC shall promptly thereafter execute
such further documents and instruments as may be reasonably requested by BCC,
the Member, Lessee and/or Senior Lender to effect such additional Fundings,
including the issuance by Lessee of additional senior notes.
(ii) In the event the Senior Lender fails to approve the
additional Fundings into the Working Capital Reserve on or before July 18, 1998
such that the Working Capital Reserve will be fully funded by the date provided
in Section 1.01(a)(ii) above, the Member shall have the opportunity (but not the
obligation) until October 31, 1998 to arrange for additional Fundings into the
Working Capital Reserve such that the Working Capital Reserve will be fully
funded by the date provided in Section 1.01(a)(ii) above. Such additional
Fundings, and the parties providing such additional Fundings, shall be subject
in all respects to the prior written approval of BCC. Without limiting other
requirements for such approval by BCC, the parties providing such additional
Fundings shall execute such further instruments and documents, and agree to such
additional terms, as BCC may reasonably request, including agreeing to be bound
by provisions similar to those contained in Section 7.02 below. Lessee shall
give prompt notice to BCC in the event that Lessee determines that Lessee will
not be in a position to arrange for the additional Fundings in the Working
Capital Reserve as provided in this subsection.
(iii) In the event that the Senior Lender does not approval
the additional Fundings on or before July 18, 1998 such that the Working Capital
Reserve will be fully funded by the date provided in Section 1.01(a)(ii) above,
and the Member has not obtained a source for the additional Fundings on or
before October 31, 1998 on terms and conditions and with parties satisfactory to
BCC, BCC shall have the right at any time thereafter, but not the obligation, to
require that the Member sell all of the Equity Interests to BCC or its designee
in the manner
3
<PAGE> 4
provided for in the Option Agreement; provided, however, the purchase price for
the Equity Interests shall be the sum of (A) the amount of Fundings actually
advanced by Senior Lender under the Senior Note and deposited into the
Collateral Account, plus (B) an amount calculated on a pro-rata basis as 27.5%
per annum of the amount of funds actually advanced under the Senior Note to or
for the benefit of Lessee and contributed into the Working Capital Reserve from
the date of deposit through the date of Closing, plus (C) reimbursement for all
organizational and qualification costs of Lessee (not to exceed with respect to
such organizational and qualification costs, $3,000). In such event, all terms
and conditions of the sale applicable to the Option shall be equally applicable
to the sale under this Section 1.01(c)(iii), and the failure by the Member to
close on such sale within 5 business days after written notice from BCC (time
being of the essence) shall constitute an Event of Default.
(d) The Member and the Lessee acknowledge and agree that (i)
Fundings under the Senior Note and any other borrowings of Lessee to fund the
Working Capital Reserve shall be recourse to the Member to the extent that such
Member will be liable for no less than 15% of the total amount to be funded into
the Working Capital Reserve as provided in Section 1.01(a)(ii) above, (ii) the
Member has sufficient funds in personal accounts such that the guaranty of
Indebtedness in connection with sums borrowed for the Working Capital Reserve is
meaningful and has a likelihood of being repaid and (iii) Lessor and the
Management Firm may (without notice to Lessee or Member, and whether acting
alone or together) withdraw funds from the Working Capital Reserve to fund
Shortfalls with respect to the Facility as provided in the Transaction Documents
and the Lease Documents.
SECTION 1.02 ADVANCES. Upon the advance of all sums under the
Senior Note (and, if applicable, the advance of all sums under additional senior
notes to fully fund the Working Capital Reserve) into the Working Capital
Reserve and the complete depletion of the Working Capital Reserve, and to the
extent thereafter of any Shortfall, BCC hereby agrees to advance from time to
time funds to the Lessee upon no less than five (5) days prior written notice,
upon the terms and conditions provided herein (each advance being an "ADVANCE"
and collectively, the "ADVANCES"). Advances shall be evidenced by one or more
promissory notes issued by the Lessee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A
(the "NOTES"). The Notes shall mature on the anniversary of the fifth year after
issuance of the first Note issued under this Agreement. Interest shall accrue on
the Notes at the rate of 2% over the Prime Rate as announced from time to time
in the Eastern Edition of the Wall Street Journal (or, in the event of the
discontinuance of the publishing of the Prime Rate in such Eastern Edition of
the Wall Street Journal, such other source as the parties may agree), and shall
be payable in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter. All sums owed
under the Notes and hereunder to BCC, and all other obligations and covenants
under the Transaction Documents applicable to Lessee and the Member (including
the obligations of the Member under the Option Agreement), together with all
interest payable under the Transaction Documents and all other costs and
expenses payable by Lessee or any Member to or for the benefit of BCC or any BCC
Affiliate (including indemnification and defense obligations) are referred to
herein as the "OBLIGATIONS". Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
4
<PAGE> 5
contained in the Transaction Documents, the provisions of this Section 1.02, and
any Notes issued hereunder, shall be subject in all respects to the terms and
conditions of Section 7(c) of the Option Agreement.
SECTION 1.03 ASSET PURCHASE OPTION. (a) The Lessee and the
Member hereby grant to BCC an option (the "ASSET PURCHASE OPTION") to purchase
all of the assets of the Lessee (including the option to take an assignment of
the Lease) for the Asset Purchase Price. The Asset Purchase Option may be
exercised by BCC by providing written notice to the Lessee at any time during
the term of the Lease. The closing of the purchase of the assets of the Lessee
shall take place within 30 days after BCC exercises the Asset Purchase Option at
such location in Pennsylvania as BCC may designate. At the closing of the asset
purchase, the Lessee shall transfer, assign and convey to BCC (or its designee)
all assets of Lessee, free and clear of all Liens and restrictions of any kind
or nature, except for Liens or restrictions in favor of the Lessor pursuant to
the Lease Documents or in favor of BCC pursuant to the Transaction Documents
(provided, however, Liens in favor of BCC securing Advances or other Obligations
shall be paid in full by Lessee and the Member at the closing of the asset
purchase). The Lessee (and the Member if requested by BCC) shall execute and
deliver at the closing of the asset purchase an assignment of lease (assigning
the Lease to the purchaser), a bill of sale conveying all other assets of the
Lessee and such other documents and instruments as BCC may reasonably request,
all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to BCC. The "ASSET PURCHASE
PRICE" as used herein shall mean (i) all amounts actually funded into the
Working Capital Reserve (including advances for interest due under the Senior
Note), plus (ii) an amount (calculated as a yearly return) equal to 27.5% of the
Working Capital Reserve actually funded through Fundings, compounded annually
through the closing date, plus (iii) the aggregate amount of all Advances and
all other Obligations due and payable by Lessee or the Member to BCC or a BCC
Affiliate through the closing date (exclusive of the Management Fee), minus (iv)
any payments made to the Member under the Option Agreement. To avoid any doubt,
BCC shall receive a credit against the Asset Purchase Price for any payments
made to the Member under the Option Agreement paid as Current Yield in advance
to the extent that such advance Option Payments are attributable to Current
Yield accruing after the closing date. All Advances and all other Obligations
due and payable by Lessee or the Member to BCC or a BCC Affiliate through the
closing date of the asset purchase shall be payable from the Asset Purchase
Price to BCC or the BCC Affiliate, as appropriate. Notwithstanding any provision
to the contrary contained in the Transaction Documents, the provisions of this
Section 1.03 shall be subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of
Section 7(c) of the Option Agreement and Section 6.04 of this Agreement.
(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained
herein or in any other Transaction Document, BCC agrees that the Asset Purchase
Option shall not be exercised unless (i) BCC or its designee is prohibited (by
operation of law, or any other reason other than the acts or omissions of BCC or
any BCC Affiliate) from exercising the Option to acquire the Equity Interests
pursuant to the Option Agreement or (ii) the Lessee or any Member is in Default
of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty contained in this
Agreement (except for a Default in the payment of interest under the Notes) or
the Option Agreement, which Default was
5
<PAGE> 6
not caused by BCC or any BCC Affiliate.
SECTION 1.04 TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS. In addition to the Notes,
and to better secure the performance of Lessee hereunder and under the other
Transaction Documents, Lessee and the Member (as applicable) have executed and
delivered to Lessor or BCC (as applicable) the following:
(i) the Lease and the other Lease Documents to
which it is a party;
(ii) Leasehold Mortgage in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit B encumbering the Property
in favor of BCC (the "LEASEHOLD MORTGAGE");
(iii) the Deposit Pledge Agreement and the Pledge
Agreement; and
(iv) such other documents, certificates, powers,
affidavits and instrument as BCC may
reasonably request.
In addition to the foregoing documents, the Member has
executed and delivered to BCC the Option Agreement (the
"OPTION AGREEMENT") substantially in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit C, whereby each Member has agreed that BCC shall
have an option to purchase the equity interest of each Member
in Lessee, on the terms and conditions provided therein.
SECTION 1.05 INTEREST PAYMENTS. In no event shall the amount
of interest due or payable pursuant to any Transaction Document (exclusive of
payment made under the Option Agreement and sums paid in connection with the
Asset Purchase Option) exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by Law and,
in the event any such payment is inadvertently paid by the Lessee or the Member
or inadvertently received by BCC or any BCC Affiliate, then such excess sum
shall be credited as a payment of principal due to BCC or any BCC Affiliate. It
is the express intention of the parties hereto that neither the Lessee nor the
Member pay to BCC, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in
excess of that which may be lawfully paid by the Lessee.
SECTION 1.06 INTENTION. It is the intention of BCC, the Member
and Lessee that (i) the Management Firm operate the Facility pursuant to the
Management Agreement and that Lessee act as a passive investor with respect to
the Facility, (ii) Lessee include on its financial statements all revenue and
losses with respect to the Facility during the term of this Agreement for
accounting purposes, and (iii) Advances made hereunder and all other obligations
of Lessee and the Member under the Transaction Documents be secured by and
pursuant to the Leasehold Mortgage and the Pledge Agreement, but subject to the
rights of Lessor under the Lease, regardless of any bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership or similar proceedings instituted by or
6
<PAGE> 7
against Lessee. BCC, each Member and Lessee agree to take no position
inconsistent with the intention of the parties as herein stated.

this transaction, and to make any Advance, shall be further subject to the

liability company duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of State of Delaware, has qualified to do business in the State in which
the Facility is located, and has the power and authority to own its properties
and to carry on its business as now being and hereafter proposed to be
conducted; provided, however, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained herein or in the other Transaction Documents, if the foregoing is
false or misleading (and so long as such representation or warranty was not made
false or misleading as a result of the acts or omissions of Lessee or the
Member), in no event shall BCC fail to fund Advances if required to do so
hereunder or raise as a defense to the consequences of BCC's failure to make
Option Payments the failure of the foregoing from being true and correct, but
neither Lessee nor the Member shall raise as a defense to the obligations of
Lessee or Member hereunder or under any other Transaction Document the failure
of the foregoing from being true and correct in all material respects.
(b) POWER; AUTHORITY. The execution, delivery and performance
by the Lessee of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it
is a party are within the Lessee's power and have been duly authorized by all
necessary action, and this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to
which Lessee is a party have been duly executed and delivered by the duly
authorized representative of the Lessee.
(c) APPROVAL OR CONSENTS. No approval or consent of any
foreign, domestic, federal, state or local authority is required for the due
execution, delivery and performance by the Lessee of this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document to which it is a party and the execution, delivery and
performance by the Lessee of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents
to which it is a party do not conflict with, and will not result in the breach
of or default under, any contract, agreement or other document or instrument to
which the Lessee is a party or by which its properties are bound.
8
<PAGE> 9
(d) BINDING OBLIGATIONS. This Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents to which the Lessee is a party are legal, valid and
binding obligations of the Lessee enforceable against the Lessee in accordance
with their respective terms, except as the same may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting generally the
enforcement of creditors' rights; provided, however, notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary contained herein or in the other Transaction
Documents, if the foregoing is false or misleading (and so long as such
representation or warranty was not made false or misleading as a result of the
acts or omissions of Lessee or the Member), in no event shall BCC fail to fund
Advances if required to do so hereunder or raise as a defense to the
consequences of BCC's failure to make Option Payments the failure of the
foregoing from being true and correct, but neither Lessee nor the Member shall
raise as a defense to the obligations of Lessee or Member hereunder or under any
other Transaction Document the failure of the foregoing from being true and
correct in all material respects.
(e) LITIGATION. There is no pending or, to the best of
Lessee's knowledge, threatened action, suit or proceeding against or affecting
the Lessee before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator.
(f) APPLICABLE LAW. The execution, delivery and performance of
this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Lessee is a
party, and the borrowings hereunder, do not and will not, by the passage of
time, the giving of notice or otherwise, violate any Law applicable to the
Lessee; provided, however, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained herein or in the other Transaction Documents, if the foregoing is
false or misleading (and so long as such representation or warranty was not made
false or misleading as a result of the acts or omissions of Lessee or the
Member), in no event shall BCC fail to fund Advances if required to do so
hereunder or raise as a defense to the consequences of BCC's failure to make
Option Payments the failure of the foregoing from being true and correct, but
neither Lessee nor the Member shall raise as a defense to the obligations of
Lessee or Member hereunder or under any other Transaction Document the failure
of the foregoing from being true and correct in all material respects.
(g) TITLE AND CONDITION OF ASSETS. Except for Lessee's
leasehold interest in the Lease, the Lessee has good, marketable and legal title
to its properties and assets. The Lessee has a good and valid leasehold interest
in the Lease.
(h) LIENS. None of the properties and assets of the Lessee are
subject to any Lien or other charge other than Liens in favor of Lessor pursuant
to the Lease or the Senior Credit Documents, BCC as provided herein, or a BCC
Affiliate ("PERMITTED LIENS"), and the execution, delivery and performance by
the Lessee of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is
a party will neither result in the creation of any Lien or other charge upon any
of the Lessee's properties or assets, nor cause a default under any agreements
to which Lessee is a party.
9
<PAGE> 10
(i) {INTENTIONALLY OMITTED}.
(j) TAX RETURNS AND PAYMENTS. All federal, state and other tax
returns of the Lessee required by Law to be filed have been duly filed, and all
federal, state and other taxes, assessments and other governmental charges or
levies upon the Lessee and its properties, income, profits and assets which are
due and payable have been paid; provided, however, if the failure to file such
tax returns was due to the acts or omissions of BCC or a BCC Affiliate, the
foregoing shall not constitute an Event of Default.
(k) NO EMPLOYEES. The Lessee has no employees for which it is
required to comply with the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
(l) ABSENCE OF DEFAULTS. To the Lessee's and Member's
knowledge, no event has occurred, which has not been remedied, cured or waived,
which constitutes, or with the passage of time or giving of notice or both would
constitute, a Default or an Event of Default under any Transaction Document or
Lease Document or which constitutes or which with the passage of time or giving
of notice or both would constitute a default or event of default by the Lessee
under any agreement or judgment, decree or order, to which the Lessee is a party
or by which the Lessee or any of its properties may be bound.
(m) ACCURACY AND COMPLETENESS OF INFORMATION. No document
furnished or written statement made to BCC by Lessee or any Member in connection
with the execution of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents
(or in connection with the organization or capitalization of Lessee by the
Members) contains or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or
fails to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
contained therein not materially misleading.

indirectly, of record or beneficially, any of the voting stock of any class or
classes of, or any other voting interests of, any Entity.

company" or a company "controlled" by an "investment company", within the
meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
(p) PUBLIC UTILITY COMPANY. The Lessee is not a "holding
company" or a "subsidiary company", or an "affiliate" of a "holding company",
within the meaning of the Public Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended.

no other person or Entity holds any equity interest or other security in Lessee.
10
<PAGE> 11

amount to be contributed to the Working Capital Reserve as provided in Section
1.01(a)(ii) above shall be guarantied personally by the Member, and the Member

ARTICLE IV

Affiliate shall have any commitment or Obligation hereunder or under the other

Management Firm under the Management Agreement.
SECTION 4.02 NEGATIVE COVENANTS. Except as expressly permitted

BALANCED CARE CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, with a principal place of
business at 5021 Louise Drive, Suite 200, Mechanicsburg, PA 17055 ("BCC") and
__________________________________, a Maryland corporation, with a principal
place of business at 610 Newport Center Drive, Suite 1150, Newport Beach, CA
92660 (the "Lessor").
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the Lessor and __________________________________, a Delaware
limited liability company (the "LESSEE") have agreed to enter into that certain
Lease and Security Agreement, of even date herewith (the "Lease"), relating to
certain premises located in _________, ____ on property more fully described in
the Lease (the "Property"); all capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise
defined herein shall have the same meanings as ascribed to such terms in the
Lease; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to a Shortfall Funding Agreement dated of even date
herewith (the "Shortfall Agreement"), and a Deposit Pledge Agreement dated of
even date herewith (the "Deposit Pledge"), each among the Members (as defined in
Appendix 1 to the Shortfall Agreement) Lessee and BCC, Lessee has or will
deposit funds into the Working Capital Reserve (as defined in the Shortfall
Agreement) as provided in the Shortfall Agreement to fund certain operational
losses anticipated in connection with the Project; and
WHEREAS, Lessor and BCC Development and Management Co., a Delaware
corporation ("Developer") have entered into a Development Agreement of even date
herewith (the "Development Agreement") for the purpose of developing an assisted
care living facility on the Property (the "Facility"); and
WHEREAS, Lessee and ____________________________, a Delaware
corporation (the "Manager") have entered into a Management Agreement of even
date herewith (the "Management Agreement") for the operation and management of
the Facility; and
WHEREAS, the Developer and the Manager are wholly-owned subsidiaries of
BCC; and
WHEREAS, as additional security for all of the obligations of Lessee
under the Lease, including without limitation all Minimum Rent and Additional
Rent, as defined in the Lease (the "Lease Obligations"), the Lessor has
requested the execution and delivery of this Agreement; and
<PAGE> 2
WHEREAS, because of the significant interest of BCC in the success and
economic viability of the Facility, BCC is willing to enter into this Agreement
to, among other matters, provide to the Lessor adequate assurances regarding the
funding of Shortfalls (as hereinafter defined) upon depletion of the Working
Capital Reserve (as hereinafter defined).
NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration paid by each of the
parties hereto to the other, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged and in consideration of the covenants and agreements set forth
herein, the parties hereto intending to be legally bound hereby agree as
follows:
1. (a) Subject to the terms of Section 4 hereof, from the date hereof
until the complete payment and performance of the Lease Obligations, BCC
unconditionally agrees to loan to the Lessee, sufficient funds, by means of
working capital loans (collectively, the "Working Capital Loans"), to pay and
satisfy the amount by which the Lessee's cash requirements to meet all of its
obligations (including, without limitation, operating expenses, debt service and
the Lease Obligations) due and payable during any month exceed the gross
revenues received by the Lessee during such month (the "Shortfall"). Without
limiting the generality of the definition of Shortfall, Shortfalls shall also
include, without limitation (i) costs, expenses and damages related to Lessee's
failure to pay Taxes (as defined in the Lease), to maintain adequate insurance,
to maintain any license necessary or desirable to operate the Facility and

arising from or related to the Facility, (ii) all costs of collection and
enforcement incurred by Lessor in exercising any remedies provided in the Lease,
and (iii) payment in full of all rent, additional rent and other amounts due to
Lessor or third parties under the Lease in the manner and at the time prescribed
in the Lease.
(b) Working Capital Loans shall be made pursuant to the Shortfall
Agreement. BCC hereby agrees that Lessor may make distributions of proceeds of
Working Capital Loans directly to Lessor or third party creditors of Lessee.
2. (a) Subject to the terms of Section 4 hereof, whether or not there
has occurred or is continuing any default, breach of condition or failure to
satisfy any condition under the Shortfall Agreement, BCC shall, without further
direction, advance to the Lessee the amount equal to the Shortfall in a timely
fashion so that the Lessee is able to meet all of its working capital
obligations (including, without limitation, all Lease Obligations) when due.
Without limiting the generality of foregoing, BCC shall make Working Capital
Loans to Lessee to fund Shortfalls even if Lessee fails to make contributions on
a timely basis to the Working Capital Reserve as provided in Section 1.01 of the
Shortfall Agreement or otherwise.
(b) Without limiting BCC's obligation to fund Shortfalls as herein
provided, BCC shall promptly notify Lessor should any proceedings under Title 11
of the United States Code (each a "Bankruptcy Proceeding", and the laws applied
during such Bankruptcy Proceedings being referred to herein as "Bankruptcy
Laws") be instituted by or against BCC, Lessee or any member owing equity
interests in Lessee (collectively a "Member"), and, upon request from Lessor,
shall immediately fund or otherwise cause to be paid to all creditors (exclusive
of Lessor) of the party subject to the Bankruptcy Proceeding all amounts due
such
<PAGE> 3
creditors. Further, BCC shall use all reasonable efforts (within the bounds
of applicable law) to cause such Bankruptcy Proceedings to be dismissed as soon
as possible.
3. BCC acknowledges that the covenants and agreements made hereunder by
BCC are being made to induce the Lessor to enter into and accept the Lease and
enable the Lessee, upon the complete disbursement of the Working Capital
Reserve, to fulfill its obligations, including, without limitation, the Lease
Obligations. Accordingly, it is expressly intended by BCC that the covenants and
agreements by BCC hereunder may be relied upon and enforced by the Lessor.
4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, BCC's
obligation to provide the Working Capital Loans, and advance Shortfalls, to the
Lessee shall not commence until such time as the full amount actually deposited
by Lessee in the Working Capital Reserve has been depleted. BCC shall make or
permit disbursements to Lessor from the Working Capital Reserve to meet any and
all Lease Obligations when and as such Lease Obligations become due and payable,
pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Deposit Pledge Agreement.
5. The obligations of BCC hereunder shall not be affected by the
termination, discontinuance, release or modification of any agreement from any
endorser, surety or guarantor of the Lease Obligations. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein or in the Lease, the Lessor hereby covenants
and agrees with BCC that the Lessor shall not amend, modify or otherwise alter
the Lease or any other document executed in connection therewith (collectively,
the "Lease Documents") without BCC's prior written consent, in each instance,
which consent, shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
In addition, the Lessor hereby covenants and agrees with BCC that,
except in connection with the exercise of any of its rights and/or remedies
under the Lease Documents, the Lessor shall not terminate the Lease without the
prior written consent of BCC, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed.
6. The obligations of BCC hereunder shall not be affected by any change
in the beneficial ownership of the Lessee or by reason of any disability of the
Lessee. This Agreement shall not be construed as a guaranty or surety agreement,
but shall constitute the separate and independent primary obligation of BCC to
Lessor. This Agreement shall be in addition to any guaranty or other security
for the Lease Obligations, and it shall not be prejudiced or rendered
unenforceable by the invalidity of any such guaranty or security. This Agreement
shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if, at any
time, any payment of the Lease Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be
returned by the Lessor upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the
Lessee or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
7. (a) Without limiting BCC's obligation to provide the Working Capital
Loans, upon the occurrence of any default under any of the Lease Documents, BCC
shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such default within any
applicable notice and grace periods (or in the event of no grace period, within
3 days after receipt by BCC of notice of such default) and, to the
3
<PAGE> 4
extent permitted by law, enter upon the Property, if necessary, for such purpose
and take all such actions as BCC may deem necessary or appropriate to remedy
such default. The Lessor agrees to give written notice to BCC of any notices of
default by Lessee under the Lease or any other Lease Document which Lessor sends
to Lessee. The Lessor agrees to accept any remedy performed by BCC as if the
same had been performed by the Lessee.
(b) Lessor acknowledges that BCC has the right to acquire all
of the Equity Interests (as defined in Appendix 1 to the Shortfall Agreement)
should Lessee fail to timely make all required deposits into the Working Capital
Reserve pursuant to Section 1.01 of the Shortfall Agreement. In the event that
Lessee fails to make such deposits into the Working Capital Reserve and BCC
exercises its rights under Section 1.01 of the Shortfall Agreement by having
BCC, an Affiliate of BCC or a designee of BCC purchase all of the Equity
Interests, Lessor shall recognize as Lessee under the Lease and other Lease
Documents such designee as BCC may designate so long as such designee fully
funds the Working Capital Reserve as provided in the Shortfall Agreement and
otherwise executes and delivers to Lessor such documents, instruments,
affidavits and opinions as Lessor may reasonably request. In such event (but
subject to Section 10 of this Agreement), this Agreement and the obligations of
the parties hereunder (including without limitation BCC's obligation to fund
Shortfalls) shall remain in full force and effect.
8. Any notice, request, demand, statement or consent made
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given if personally
delivered, sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, or sent by a
nationally recognized commercial overnight delivery service with provisions for
a receipt, postage or delivery charges prepaid, and shall be deemed given when
postmarked or placed in the possession of such mail or delivery service and
addressed as follows:

or at such other place as any of the parties hereto may from time to time
hereafter designate to the others in writing. Any notice given to BCC or the
Lessee by the Lessor at any time shall not imply that such notice or any further
or similar notice was or is required.
9. This Agreement shall be construed, and the rights and obligations
of the Lessor and BCC shall be determined, in accordance with the laws of the
State in which the Facility is located, exclusive of such State's conflicts of
laws rules.
10. This Agreement and BCC's obligations hereunder shall automatically
terminate upon the purchase by BCC or a wholly-owned subsidiary of BCC (a "BCC
Affiliate") of all of the issued and outstanding equity of the Lessee or
substantially all of the assets of Lessee (and Lessor hereby consents to such
purchase of equity or assets); provided, however, if a BCC Affiliate purchases
all of the assets or the outstanding equity of Lessee, BCC shall provide to
Lessor an unconditional guaranty of all Lease Obligations, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Lessor. Lessor shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to terminate this Agreement if (i) an Event of Default under the
Lease remains uncured beyond any applicable cure period or (ii) BCC fails to
perform any of BCC's obligations or duties under this Agreement.
11. (a) The Lessor covenants and agrees with BCC that (subject to
Bankruptcy Laws) the Lessor shall not consent to any assignment of the Lessee's
interest under the Lease (except to BCC or a BCC Affiliate) or any transfer of
substantially all of the Lessee's assets or any transfer of the issued and
outstanding equity of the Lessee without the prior written consent of BCC, which
consent BCC may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion. In addition, in
the event that, in violation of the terms of this Agreement or the Lease, (A)
the Lessee or any Guarantor (as defined in the Lease) attempts to assign its
interest in the Lease (or transfer substantially all of its assets), (B) the
current holders of the issued and outstanding equity of the Lessee attempt to
transfer any such equity or (C) if any of the events described in Section 10.1.8
and Section 10.1.10 of the Lease occurs with respect to Lessee or a Guarantor,
each of the Lessor and BCC covenant and agree that, subject to applicable law,
the Lessor shall terminate the Lease (in accordance with the terms thereof) and
Lessor shall enter into a new lease of the Property with BCC (or any of its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, provided, that, BCC executes and delivers a guaranty
of any such lease, in form and substance acceptable to the Lessor), in form and
substance acceptable to the Lessor; provided, however, that any such lease shall
be substantially similar to the Lease. In connection with the execution and
delivery of any such lease, (Y) BCC and its subsidiary shall execute and deliver
any additional documents that the Lessor may request, in form and substance
similar to the Lease Documents and (Z) BCC shall deliver to the Lessor such
evidence as Lessor shall request, in form and substance acceptable to the
Lessor, that the new lease and all other documents executed and delivered in
connection therewith have been duly authorized, executed
5
<PAGE> 6
and delivered and are enforceable. BCC agrees to pay all of the costs and
expenses reasonably incurred by the Lessor (including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees and expenses) in connection with the performance of the Lessor's
obligations under this Section 11.
(b) BCC agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lessor, its
Affiliates, and their respective trustees, officers, directors, shareholders and
other representatives (the "Indemnified Parties") harmless from and against any
and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, damages, losses,
liabilities, fees (including without limitation attorneys fees), costs
(including without limitation court costs) and expenses (collectively "Claims")
in any way or manner whatsoever related or attributed to or arising out of
suits, litigation or threatened suits or litigation by the Lessee or its members
in connection with (i) the rights, interests, obligations and duties of Lessor
or BCC under this Agreement, the Shortfall Agreement, the Deposit Pledge
Agreement and any related leasehold mortgages, option agreements, equity pledge
agreements, financing statements or other security interests (the "Applicable
Documents") and/or (ii) any acts or failures to act, or the performance or
assertion of any rights, duties or obligations, by BCC or the Indemnified
Parties with respect to the Applicable Documents; provided, however, no
Indemnified Party shall be held harmless or entitled to indemnifications or
defenses to the extent that the Claim was caused in whole or in part by a breach
of any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Indemnified Party under Sections
5, 7 or 11 of this Agreement.
12. (a) Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire
understanding among the parties hereto with respect to its subject matter and
supersedes any prior understandings or agreements between the parties with
respect to such subject matter.
(b) Amendments. This Agreement may be modified or amended
only by a written instrument executed by the Lessor, the Lessee and BCC.
(c) Severability. If any term or other provision of this
Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law,
or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall
nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the substance of the
transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner adverse to any
party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid,
illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in
good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the
parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that
transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.
(d) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or
more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which
together shall constitute but a single instrument.
(e) Future Cooperation. Each party covenants and agrees to
take such further action and execute such further documents as may be necessary
or appropriate to carry out the intention of this Agreement.
6
<PAGE> 7
(f) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be
binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns.
(g) Representations and Warranties of BCC. BCC represents
and warrants that (i) this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding
obligation of BCC, was duly authorized, executed and delivered by BCC, and is
fully enforceable against BCC in accordance with its terms (except as may be
limited by bankruptcy and creditor's rights laws and general principles of
equity), (ii) BCC is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and is duly authorized and
qualified to do all things required of it under this Agreement; (iii) neither
this Agreement nor any agreement, document or instrument executed or to be
executed in connection herewith, violates the terms of any other agreement to
which BCC is a party and (iv) the recitals set forth above are hereby
incorporated by this reference and made a part of this Agreement, and BCC
represents and warrants that such recitals are true and correct. Any material
breach by BCC of the representations and warranties set forth herein shall be a
default under this Agreement.
(h) Subordination. If for any reason whatsoever Lessee,
any Affiliates of Lessee, Developer or Manager now or hereafter becomes indebted
to BCC or any Affiliate of BCC, such indebtedness and all interest therein shall
at all times be subordinated in all respects to the obligations of BCC under
this Agreement, the obligations of Lessee under the Lease, and the obligations
of Developer under the Development Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement,
the terms "Affiliate" and "Affiliates" shall have the meanings set forth in that
certain First Series Master Investment Agreement (the "Master Agreement") of
even date herewith, by and between the Lessor, Developer, Lessee's members and
BCC.
(i) Counsel Fees. If Lessor or BCC brings any action to
interpret or enforce this Agreement, or for damages for any alleged breach
thereof, the prevailing party in any such action shall be entitled to reasonable
attorney's fees and costs as awarded by the court in addition to all other
recovery, damages and costs.
(j) Reliance by Lessor. BCC acknowledges that (i) BCC will
benefit from the execution and continued existence of the Lease, (ii) Lessor
will be relying upon BCC's assurances, representations, warranties, and
covenants contained herein and (iii) Lessor may take, or delay in taking or
refuse to take any and all action with reference to the Lease (regardless of
whether the same might vary the risk or alter the rights, remedies or recourses
of BCC), including without limitation the settlement or compromise of any amount
allegedly due thereunder, the granting of indulgences or extensions, and/or the
release of or refusal to execute on any and all collateral; provided, however,
nothing contained in this Section shall limit or modify the obligations of
Lessor under this Agreement, including without limitation Section 5 above.
(k) Waiver Provisions. BCC hereby knowingly, voluntarily
and unequivocally waives: (i) all notice of acceptance, protest, demand and
dishonor, presentment and demands of any kind now or hereafter provided for by
any statute or rule of law; (ii) any and all requirements that Lessor institute
any action or proceeding, or exhaust any or all of Lessor's rights, remedies or
recourses, against Lessee or anyone else as a condition precedent to bringing an
action against BCC under this Agreement; (iii) any defense arising by reason of
any disability, insolvency,
7
<PAGE> 8
bankruptcy, lack of authority or power, dissolution or any other defense of
Lessee, BCC, any guarantor of the Lease, or their respective successors and
assigns (even though rendering same void, unenforceable or otherwise
uncollectible); (iv) the benefits of any and all express or implied waivers
which may otherwise be available to or claimed by BCC under the laws of the
State in which the Property is located; (v) any claim BCC might otherwise have
against Lessor by virtue of Lessor's invocation of any right, remedy or recourse
permitted it hereunder or under the Lease, any letter of credit agreement, any
guaranty, or otherwise available at law or equity; (vi) any failure, omission,
delay or lack on the part of Lessor or Lessee to enforce, assert or exercise any
right, power or remedy conferred on Lessor or Lessee in the Lease, or any action
on the part of Lessor granting a waiver, indulgence or extension to Lessee or
any other party; (vii) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution,
sale or other disposition of all or substantially all the assets of Lessee or
BCC, marshaling of assets or liabilities, receiverships, insolvency, bankruptcy,
assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement,
composition or readjustment of, or other similar proceeding affecting Lessee,
BCC, or their respective assets, or the disaffirmance of the Lease in any such
proceeding; (viii) any release or other reduction of the Lease Obligations
arising as a result of the expansion, release, substitution or replacement
(whether or not in accordance with terms of the Lease) of the Premises or any
portion thereof; and (ix) any defense or claim available to BCC as a result of
BCC's exercise of its right to purchase the Premises (or any portion thereof)
pursuant to the Master Agreement or that certain Right of First Refusal
Agreement of even date herewith by and between Lessor and BCC; provided,
however, nothing contained in this Section shall limit or modify the obligations
of Lessor under this Agreement, including without limitation Section 5 and
Section 11(a) above.
(l) Application of Agreement. This Agreement shall apply
notwithstanding any extension or renewal of the Lease, or any holdover following
the expiration or termination of the Term or any renewal or extension of the
Term (as defined in the Lease).
(m) Financial Reporting. Within forty-five (45) days of
the end of each of the first three quarters of the fiscal year of BCC, BCC shall
deliver the quarterly consolidated or combined, as applicable, financial
statement of BCC to Lessor. Within one hundred (100) days of the fiscal year end
of BCC, BCC shall deliver to Lessor the annual consolidated or combined, as
applicable, financial statement of BCC audited by a reputable certified public
accounting firm. If BCC is or becomes subject to any reporting requirements of
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") during the Term, BCC shall,
in lieu of providing the financial statements described in the first two
sentences of this Subsection, concurrently deliver to Lessor such reports as are
delivered to the SEC pursuant to applicable securities laws. All of the reports
and statements required hereby shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP and
BCC's accounting principles consistently applied and shall be accompanied by a
statement signed by the President, Chief Financial Officer, Principal Accounting
Officer, Controller, Executive Vice President, Development, or other officer of
BCC as approved by Lessor in writing, certifying that said reports are true,
correct, and complete in all material respects after due inquiry.
(n) Leasehold Mortgage. To secure the obligations of the
Lessee under the Shortfall Agreement, Lessee has granted to BCC a leasehold
mortgage (the "Leasehold Mortgage") encumbering Lessee's interest in the Lease.
BCC shall, concurrently with the execution and delivery of
8
<PAGE> 9
this Agreement, execute and deliver to Lessor an escrow letter and satisfaction
instrument in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A removing the Leasehold
Mortgage of record, which satisfaction instrument may only be recorded as
provided in such escrow letter. BCC shall provide notice to Lessor if BCC shall
desire to institute any foreclosure proceedings by BCC under the Leasehold
Mortgage, and BCC shall not institute such proceedings without the prior written
consent of the Lessor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed; provided, however, BCC agrees that Lessor may condition
consent to such foreclosure on the agreement by BCC that all personal property
leased to Lessee under the Lease will remain in the Facility and that such
foreclosure will not materially or unreasonably disrupt or interrupt the
operation of the Facility.
(o) Management Agreement. BCC acknowledges that BCC is the
sole shareholder of the Manager. As sole shareholder of the Manager, BCC agrees
and shall cause the Manager to agree, that in the case of an Event of Default
under the Lease (after applicable cure periods): (i) Lessor shall have the right
to terminate the Management Agreement and Manager's rights to manage the
Facility, (ii) Lessor shall have the right to require the Manager to cooperate
and assist in all reasonable ways during any transition of management of the
Facility after such termination, (iii) during any such interim management,
Lessor shall have the right to approve or veto all operation budgets and (iv)
Manager shall otherwise take such actions or refrain from taken such actions as
Lessor may reasonably request.

FORM OF WORKING CAPITAL ASSURANCE AGREEMENT
(_______________________)
THIS AGREEMENT is made as of the 26th day of June, 1998, by and among
BALANCED CARE CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, with a principal place of
business at 5021 Louise Drive, Suite 200, Mechanicsburg, PA 17055 ("BCC") and
Nationwide Health Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation, with a principal
place of business at 610 Newport Center Drive, Suite 1150, Newport Beach, CA
92660 (the "Lessor").
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the Lessor and ______________________________________, a
Delaware limited liability company (the "LESSEE") have agreed to enter into that
certain Lease and Security Agreement, of even date herewith (the "Lease"),
relating to certain premises located in ____________________________ on property
more fully described in the Lease (the "Property"); all capitalized terms used
herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings as ascribed
to such terms in the Lease; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to a Shortfall Funding Agreement dated of even date
herewith (the "Shortfall Agreement"), and a Deposit Pledge Agreement dated of
even date herewith (the "Deposit Pledge"), each among the Members (as defined in
Appendix 1 to the Shortfall Agreement) Lessee and BCC, Lessee has or will
deposit funds into the Working Capital Reserve (as defined in the Shortfall
Agreement) as provided in the Shortfall Agreement to fund certain operational
losses anticipated in connection with the Project; and
WHEREAS, the Lessee has entered into the Senior Credit Documents (as
defined in Appendix 1 to the Shortfall Agreement), whereby Lessee will receive
the proceeds of a loan in the amount of $_______ from Senior Lender (as defined
in Appendix 1 to the Shortfall Agreement), and which proceeds shall be deposited
in the Collateral Account (as defined in the Deposit Pledge Agreement) for the
benefit of Lessor, BCC and the Manager (as hereinafter defined) pursuant to the
terms of the Deposit Pledge Agreement and Shortfall Agreement; and
WHEREAS, Lessor and BCC Development and Management Co., a Delaware
corporation ("Developer") have entered into a Development Agreement of even date
herewith (the "Development Agreement") for the purpose of developing an assisted
care living facility on the Property (the "Facility"); and
WHEREAS, Lessee and ___________________________________, a Delaware
corporation (the "Manager") have entered into a Management Agreement of even
date herewith (the "Management Agreement") for the operation and management of
the Facility; and
<PAGE> 2
WHEREAS, the Developer and the Manager are wholly-owned subsidiaries of
BCC; and
WHEREAS, as additional security for all of the obligations of Lessee
under the Lease, including without limitation all Minimum Rent and Additional
Rent, as defined in the Lease (the "Lease Obligations"), the Lessor has
requested the execution and delivery of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, because of the significant interest of BCC in the success and
economic viability of the Facility, BCC is willing to enter into this Agreement
to, among other matters, provide to the Lessor adequate assurances regarding the
funding of Shortfalls (as hereinafter defined) upon depletion of the Working
Capital Reserve.
NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration paid by each of the
parties hereto to the other, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged and in consideration of the covenants and agreements set forth
herein, the parties hereto intending to be legally bound hereby agree as
follows:
1. (a) Subject to the terms of Section 4 hereof, from the date hereof
until the complete payment and performance of the Lease Obligations and
obligations under the Senior Note, BCC unconditionally agrees to loan to the
Lessee, sufficient funds, by means of working capital loans (collectively, the
"Working Capital Loans"), to pay and satisfy the amount by which the Lessee's
cash requirements to meet all of its obligations (including, without limitation,
operating expenses, debt service and the Lease Obligations) due and payable
during any month exceed the gross revenues received by the Lessee during such
month (the "Shortfall"). Without limiting the generality of the definition of
Shortfall, Shortfalls shall also include, without limitation (i) costs, expenses
and damages related to Lessee's failure to pay Taxes (as defined in the Lease),
to maintain adequate insurance, to maintain any license necessary or desirable
to operate the Facility and indemnification and defense costs and expenses in
connection with litigation arising from or related to the Facility, (ii) all
costs of collection and enforcement incurred by Lessor in exercising any
remedies provided in the Lease, and (iii) payment in full of all rent,
additional rent and other amounts due to Lessor or third parties under the Lease
and the Senior Note (as defined in Appendix 1 to the Shortfall Agreement) in the
manner and at the time prescribed in the Lease and such Senior Note.
(b) Working Capital Loans shall be made pursuant to the Shortfall
Agreement. BCC hereby agrees that Lessor may make distributions of proceeds of
Working Capital Loans directly to Lessor or third party creditors of Lessee.
2. (a) Subject to the terms of Section 4 hereof, whether or not there
has occurred or is continuing any default, breach of condition or failure to
satisfy any condition under the Shortfall Agreement, BCC shall, without further
direction, advance to the Lessee the amount equal to the Shortfall in a timely
fashion so that the Lessee is able to meet all of its working capital
obligations (including, without limitation, all Lease Obligations and
obligations under the Senior Note) when due. Without limiting the generality of
foregoing, BCC shall make Working Capital Loans to
7
- -
<PAGE> 3
Lessee to fund Shortfalls even if Lessee fails to make contributions on a timely
basis to the Working Capital Reserve as provided in Section 1.01 of the
Shortfall Agreement or otherwise.
(b) Without limiting BCC's obligation to fund Shortfalls as herein
provided, BCC shall promptly notify Lessor should any proceedings under Title 11
of the United States Code (each a "Bankruptcy Proceeding", and the laws applied
during such Bankruptcy Proceedings being referred to herein as "Bankruptcy
Laws") be instituted by or against BCC, Lessee or any member owing equity
interests in Lessee (collectively a "Member"), and, upon request from Lessor,
shall immediately fund or otherwise cause to be paid to all creditors (exclusive
of Lessor) of the party subject to the Bankruptcy Proceeding all amounts due
such creditors. Further, BCC shall use all reasonable efforts (within the bounds
of applicable law) to cause such Bankruptcy Proceedings to be dismissed as soon
as possible.
3. BCC acknowledges that the covenants and agreements made hereunder by
BCC are being made to induce the Lessor to enter into and accept the Lease and
the Senior Credit Documents and enable the Lessee, upon the complete
disbursement of the Working Capital Reserve, to fulfill its obligations,
including, without limitation, the Lease Obligations and the obligations under
the Senior Note. Accordingly, it is expressly intended by BCC that the covenants
and agreements by BCC hereunder may be relied upon and enforced by the Lessor.
4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, BCC's
obligation to provide the Working Capital Loans, and advance Shortfalls, to the
Lessee shall not commence until such time as (i) the Senior Lender has advanced
the full principal amount of the Senior Note to or for the benefit of the Lessee
into the Working Capital Reserve and (ii) the full amount actually deposited by
Lessee in the Working Capital Reserve has been depleted. BCC shall make or
permit disbursements to Lessor from the Working Capital Reserve to meet any and
all Lease Obligations and obligations under the Senior Note when and as such
obligations become due and payable, pursuant to the terms and provisions of the
Deposit Pledge Agreement.
5. The obligations of BCC hereunder shall not be affected by the
termination, discontinuance, release or modification of any agreement from any
endorser, surety or guarantor of the Lease Obligations and the obligations under
the Senior Note. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in
the Lease, the Lessor hereby covenants and agrees with BCC that the Lessor shall
not amend, modify or otherwise alter the Lease or any other document executed in
connection therewith (collectively, the "Lease Documents") without BCC's prior
written consent, in each instance, which consent, shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed.
In addition, the Lessor hereby covenants and agrees with BCC that,
except in connection with the exercise of any of its rights and/or remedies
under the Lease Documents, the Lessor shall not terminate the Lease without the
prior written consent of BCC, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed.
6. The obligations of BCC hereunder shall not be affected by any change
in the beneficial ownership of the Lessee or by reason of any disability of the
Lessee. This Agreement
8
- -
<PAGE> 4
shall not be construed as a guaranty or surety agreement, but shall constitute
the separate and independent primary obligation of BCC to Lessor. This Agreement
shall be in addition to any guaranty or other security for the Lease Obligations
and obligations under the Senior Note, and it shall not be prejudiced or
rendered unenforceable by the invalidity of any such guaranty or security. This
Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be,
if, at any time, any payment of the Lease Obligations or obligations under the
Senior Note is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Lessor upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Lessee or otherwise, all as
though such payment had not been made.
7. (a) Without limiting BCC's obligation to provide the Working Capital
Loans, upon the occurrence of any default under any of the Lease Documents or
any Senior Credit Document, BCC shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
cure such default within any applicable notice and grace periods (or in the
event of no grace period, within 3 days after receipt by BCC of notice of such
default) and, to the extent permitted by law, enter upon the Property, if
necessary, for such purpose and take all such actions as BCC may deem necessary
or appropriate to remedy such default. The Lessor agrees to give written notice
to BCC of any notices of default by Lessee under the Lease or any other Lease
Document which Lessor sends to Lessee. The Lessor agrees to accept any remedy
performed by BCC as if the same had been performed by the Lessee.
(b) Lessor acknowledges that BCC has the right to acquire all of the
Equity Interests (as defined in Appendix 1 to the Shortfall Agreement) should
Lessee fail to timely make all required deposits into the Working Capital
Reserve pursuant to Section 1.01 of the Shortfall Agreement. In the event that
Lessee fails to make such deposits into the Working Capital Reserve and BCC
exercises its rights under Section 1.01 of the Shortfall Agreement by having
BCC, an Affiliate of BCC or a designee of BCC purchase all of the Equity
Interests, Lessor shall recognize as Lessee under the Lease and other Lease
Documents such designee as BCC may designate so long as such designee fully
funds the Working Capital Reserve as provided in the Shortfall Agreement and
otherwise executes and delivers to Lessor such documents, instruments,
affidavits and opinions as Lessor may reasonably request. In such event (but
subject to Section 10 of this Agreement), this Agreement and the obligations of
the parties hereunder (including without limitation BCC's obligation to fund
Shortfalls) shall remain in full force and effect.
8. Any notice, request, demand, statement or consent made hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given if personally delivered, sent
by certified mail, return receipt requested, or sent by a nationally recognized
commercial overnight delivery service with provisions for a receipt, postage or
delivery charges prepaid, and shall be deemed given when postmarked or placed in
the possession of such mail or delivery service and addressed as follows:

or at such other place as any of the parties hereto may from time to time
hereafter designate to the others in writing. Any notice given to BCC or the
Lessee by the Lessor at any time shall not imply that such notice or any further
or similar notice was or is required.
9. This Agreement shall be construed, and the rights and obligations of
the Lessor and BCC shall be determined, in accordance with the laws of the State
in which the Facility is located, exclusive of such State's conflicts of laws
rules.
10. This Agreement and BCC's obligations hereunder shall automatically
terminate upon the purchase by BCC or a wholly-owned subsidiary of BCC (a "BCC
Affiliate") of all of the outstanding legal and beneficial interest in the
Lessee or substantially all of the assets of Lessee (and Lessor hereby consents
to such purchase of equity or assets); provided, however, if a BCC Affiliate
purchases all of the assets or the outstanding legal and beneficial interest in
Lessee, BCC shall provide to Lessor an unconditional guaranty of all Lease
Obligations, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor. Lessor
shall have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate this Agreement if (i)
an Event of Default under the Lease remains uncured beyond any applicable cure
period or (ii) BCC fails to perform any of BCC's obligations or duties under
this Agreement.
11. (a) The Lessor covenants and agrees with BCC that (subject to
Bankruptcy Laws) the Lessor shall not consent to any assignment of the Lessee's
interest under the Lease (except to BCC or a BCC Affiliate) or any transfer of
substantially all of the Lessee's assets or any transfer of the outstanding
legal and beneficial interest in the Lessee without the prior written consent of
BCC, which consent BCC may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion. In
addition, in the event that, in violation of the terms of this Agreement or the
Lease, (a) the Lessee or any Guarantor (as defined in the Lease) attempts to
assign its interest in the Lease (or transfer
10
- -
<PAGE> 6
substantially all of its assets), (b) the current holders of the issued and
outstanding equity of the Lessee attempt to transfer any such equity or (c) if
any of the events described in Section 10.1.8 and Section 10.1.10 of the Lease
occurs with respect to Lessee or a Guarantor, each of the Lessor and BCC
covenant and agree that, subject to applicable law, the Lessor shall terminate
the Lease (in accordance with the terms thereof) and Lessor shall enter into a
new lease of the Property with BCC (or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries,
provided, that, BCC executes and delivers a guaranty of any such lease, in form
and substance acceptable to the Lessor), in form and substance acceptable to the
Lessor; provided, however, that any such lease shall be substantially similar to
the Lease. In connection with the execution and delivery of any such lease,
(y) BCC and its subsidiary shall execute and deliver any additional documents
that the Lessor may request, in form and substance similar to the Lease
Documents and (z) BCC shall deliver to the Lessor such evidence as Lessor shall
request, in form and substance acceptable to the Lessor, that the new lease and
all other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith have been
duly authorized, executed and delivered and are enforceable. BCC agrees to pay
all of the costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Lessor (including,
without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses) in connection with the
performance of the Lessor's obligations under this Section 11.
(b) BCC agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lessor, its
Affiliates, and their respective trustees, officers, directors, shareholders and
other representatives (the "Indemnified Parties") harmless from and against any
and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, damages, losses,
liabilities, fees (including without limitation attorneys fees), costs
(including without limitation court costs) and expenses (collectively "Claims")
in any way or manner whatsoever related or attributed to or arising out of
suits, litigation or threatened suits or litigation by the Lessee or its members
in connection with (i) the rightful exercise of the rights, interests,
obligations and duties of Lessor or BCC under this Agreement, the Shortfall
Agreement, the Deposit Pledge Agreement and any related leasehold mortgages,
option agreements, equity pledge agreements, financing statements or other
security interests (the "Applicable Documents") and/or (ii) any acts or failures
to act, or the performance or assertion of any rights, duties or obligations, by
BCC or the Indemnified Parties with respect to the Applicable Documents;
provided, however, no Indemnified Party shall be held harmless or entitled to
indemnifications or defenses to the extent that the Claim was caused in whole or
in part by a breach of any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Indemnified
Party under Sections 5, 7 or 11 of this Agreement.
12. (a) Entire Agreement . This Agreement contains the entire
understanding among the parties hereto with respect to its subject matter and
supersedes any prior understandings or agreements between the parties with
respect to such subject matter.
(b) Amendments. This Agreement may be modified or amended only by a
written instrument executed by the Lessor, the Lessee and BCC.
(c) Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement
is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public
policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless
remain in full force and effect so long as the substance of the transactions
contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner adverse to any party. Upon
such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or
incapable of being
11
- -
<PAGE> 7
enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this
Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as
possible in an acceptable manner to the end that transactions contemplated
hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.
(d) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which
together shall constitute but a single instrument.
(e) Future Cooperation. Each party covenants and agrees to take such
further action and execute such further documents as may be necessary or
appropriate to carry out the intention of this Agreement.
(f) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and
inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns.
(g) Representations and Warranties of BCC. BCC represents and warrants
that (i) this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of
BCC, was duly authorized, executed and delivered by BCC, and is fully
enforceable against BCC in accordance with its terms (except as may be limited
by bankruptcy and creditor's rights laws and general principles of equity), (ii)
BCC is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under
the laws of the State of Delaware, and is duly authorized and qualified to do
all things required of it under this Agreement; (iii) neither this Agreement nor
any agreement, document or instrument executed or to be executed in connection
herewith, violates the terms of any other agreement to which BCC is a party and
(iv) the recitals set forth above are hereby incorporated by this reference and
made a part of this Agreement, and BCC represents and warrants that such
recitals are true and correct. Any material breach by BCC of the representations
and warranties set forth herein shall be a default under this Agreement.
(h) Subordination. If for any reason whatsoever Lessee, any Affiliates
of Lessee, Developer or Manager now or hereafter becomes indebted to BCC or any
Affiliate of BCC, such indebtedness and all interest therein shall at all times
be subordinated in all respects to the obligations of BCC under this Agreement,
the obligations of Lessee under the Lease, the obligations of Lessee and the
Members to the Senior Lender under the Senior Credit Documents and the
obligations of Developer under the Development Agreement. For purposes of this
Agreement, the terms "Affiliate" and "Affiliates" shall have the meanings set
forth in that certain Second Series Master Investment Agreement (the "Master
Agreement") of even date herewith, by and between the Lessor, Developer,
Lessee's members and BCC.
(i) Counsel Fees. If Lessor or BCC brings any action to interpret or
enforce this Agreement, or for damages for any alleged breach thereof, the

damages and costs.
(j) Reliance by Lessor. BCC acknowledges that (i) BCC will benefit from
the execution and continued existence of the Lease, (ii) Lessor will be relying
upon BCC's assurances, representations, warranties, and covenants contained
herein and (iii) Lessor may take, or delay in

taking or refuse to take any and all action with reference to the Lease
(regardless of whether the same might vary the risk or alter the rights,
remedies or recourses of BCC), including without limitation the settlement or
compromise of any amount allegedly due thereunder, the granting of indulgences
or extensions, and/or the release of or refusal to execute on any and all
collateral; provided, however, nothing contained in this Section shall limit or
modify the obligations of Lessor under this Agreement, including without
limitation Section 5 above.
(k) Waiver Provisions. BCC hereby knowingly, voluntarily and
unequivocally waives: (i) all notice of acceptance, protest, demand and
dishonor, presentment and demands of any kind now or hereafter provided for by
any statute or rule of law; (ii) any and all requirements that Lessor institute
any action or proceeding, or exhaust any or all of Lessor's rights, remedies or
recourses, against Lessee or anyone else as a condition precedent to bringing an
action against BCC under this Agreement; (iii) any defense arising by reason of
any disability, insolvency, bankruptcy, lack of authority or power, dissolution
or any other defense of Lessee, BCC, any guarantor of the Lease, or their
respective successors and assigns (even though rendering same void,
unenforceable or otherwise uncollectible); (iv) the benefits of any and all
express or implied waivers which may otherwise be available to or claimed by BCC
under the laws of the State in which the Property is located; (v) any claim BCC
might otherwise have against Lessor by virtue of Lessor's invocation of any
right, remedy or recourse permitted it hereunder or under the Lease, any letter
of credit agreement, any guaranty, or otherwise available at law or equity; (vi)
any failure, omission, delay or lack on the part of Lessor or Lessee to enforce,
assert or exercise any right, power or remedy conferred on Lessor or Lessee in
the Lease, or any action on the part of Lessor granting a waiver, indulgence or
extension to Lessee or any other party; (vii) the voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all
the assets of Lessee or BCC, marshaling of assets or liabilities, receiverships,
insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization,
arrangement, composition or readjustment of, or other similar proceeding
affecting Lessee, BCC, or their respective assets, or the disaffirmance of the
Lease in any such proceeding; (viii) any release or other reduction of the Lease
Obligations arising as a result of the expansion, release, substitution or
replacement (whether or not in accordance with terms of the Lease) of the
Premises or any portion thereof; and (ix) any defense or claim available to BCC
as a result of BCC's exercise of its right to purchase the Premises (or any
portion thereof) pursuant to the Master Agreement or that certain Right of First
Refusal Agreement of even date herewith by and between Lessor and BCC; provided,
however, nothing contained in this Section shall limit or modify the obligations
of Lessor under this Agreement, including without limitation Section 5 and
Section 11(a) above.
(l) Application of Agreement. This Agreement shall apply
notwithstanding any extension or renewal of the Lease, or any holdover following
the expiration or termination of the Term or any renewal or extension of the
Term (as defined in the Lease).
(m) Financial Reporting. Within forty-five (45) days of the end of each
of the first three quarters of the fiscal year of BCC, BCC shall deliver the
quarterly consolidated or combined, as applicable, financial statement of BCC to

deliver to Lessor the annual consolidated or combined, as applicable, financial

- -
<PAGE> 9
is or becomes subject to any reporting requirements of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC") during the Term, BCC shall, in lieu of providing
the financial statements described in the first two sentences of this
Subsection, concurrently deliver to Lessor such reports as are delivered to the
SEC pursuant to applicable securities laws. All of the reports and statements
required hereby shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP and BCC's accounting
principles consistently applied and shall be accompanied by a statement signed

and complete in all material respects after due inquiry.
(n) Leasehold Mortgage. To secure the obligations of the Lessee under
the Shortfall Agreement, Lessee has granted to BCC a leasehold mortgage (the
"Leasehold Mortgage") encumbering Lessee's interest in the Lease. BCC shall,
concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, execute and
deliver to Lessor an escrow letter and satisfaction instrument in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit A removing the Leasehold Mortgage of record, which
satisfaction instrument may only be recorded as provided in such escrow letter.
BCC shall provide notice to Lessor if BCC shall desire to institute any
foreclosure proceedings by BCC under the Leasehold Mortgage, and BCC shall not
institute such proceedings without the prior written consent of the Lessor,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed;
provided, however, BCC agrees that Lessor may condition consent to such
foreclosure on the agreement by BCC that all personal property leased to Lessee
under the Lease will remain in the Facility and that such foreclosure will not
materially or unreasonably disrupt or interrupt the operation of the Facility.
(o) Management Agreement. BCC acknowledges that BCC is the sole
shareholder of the Manager. As sole shareholder of the Manager, BCC agrees and

the Lease (after applicable cure periods): (i) Lessor shall have the right to
terminate the Management Agreement and Manager's rights to manage the Facility,
(ii) Lessor shall have the right to require the Manager to cooperate and assist
in all reasonable ways during any transition of management of the Facility after
such termination, (iii) during any such interim management, Lessor shall have
the right to approve or veto all operation budgets and (iv) Manager shall
otherwise take such actions or refrain from taken such actions as Lessor may
reasonably request.
(p) Confidentiality. Lessor hereby covenants and agrees, on behalf of
Lessor and all Affiliates of Lessor, that all Confidential Information (as
hereinafter defined) will be held and treated by Lessor, Lessor's Affiliates and
the agents and employees of Lessor and its Affiliates in confidence and will
not, except as explicitly consented to by BCC in its sole discretion, be
disclosed by Lessor, its Affiliates or the agents and employees of Lessor or its
Affiliates, in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, and will not be used
by Lessor, its Affiliates or the agents and employees of Lessor or its
Affiliates other than in connection with the Other Facilities (as defined in
Appendix 1 to the Shortfall Agreement). Lessor further agrees on behalf of
itself and its Affiliates (i) to disclose Confidential Information only to
(A) Lessor's employees who need to know the Confidential Information in
connection with the Facility and (B) potential or actual participants or
assignees of Lessor's interest in the Lease, the other Lease Documents, any
other documents related thereto and the Facility, but only after receiving from
14
- -
<PAGE> 10
such potential or actual participants or assignees an agreement whereby the
recipient of such Confidential Information agrees to be bound by the provisions
hereof relating to confidentiality and non-disclosure, (ii) to employ all
reasonable procedures to ensure that neither the Lessor, nor its Affiliates,
agents, employees or potential or actual participants or assignees of Lessor or
its Affiliates use the Confidential Information in connection with trading in
the securities of BCC or communicate such information to others who so trade in
such securities and (iii) that any Confidential Information not returned to BCC,
the Management Firm or Lessee, as applicable, will be held by Lessor and kept
subject to the terms of this Section or destroyed. As used in this Section,
(i) "Confidential Information" means all information and data containing or
otherwise reflecting information concerning BCC or any Affiliate of BCC, or any
Other Facility, which is not available to the general public but is material to
the business, financial condition, or prospects of BCC and its Affiliates or
otherwise would be material to making an investment decision with respect to the
publicly traded securities of BCC, together with analyses, compilations, studies
or other documents, whether prepared by BCC, Lessor or any other Entity (as
defined in Appendix 1 to the Shortfall Agreement), which contain or otherwise
reflect such information and (ii) "Affiliate" of any Entity (the "Subject")
shall mean (x) any Entity which, directly or indirectly, controls or is
controlled by or is under common control with the Subject, (b) any Entity or
person owning, beneficially, directly or indirectly, five percent or more of the
outstanding capital stock, shares or equity interests of the Subject or (c) any
officer, director, employee, general partner, member, manager or trustee of
either the Subject or any Entity controlling, controlled by or under common
control with the Subject (excluding trustees and persons serving in similar
capacities who are not otherwise an Affiliate of the Subject); provided,
however, Confidential Information shall in no event include information that has
become public through no wrongful action of Lessor or the Member or matters for
which the Lessor is required to disclose pursuant to Laws.

therefor, nor shall such failure affect the validity of this Lease or the
obligations of Tenant hereunder. Tenant hereby expressly acknowledges its
review, inspection and approval of the Land and the Plans and Specifications.
3. TERM OF LEASE
-------------
3.1. TERM OF LEASE. The initial term of this Lease (the "Fixed Term")
shall commence on the earlier to occur of (a) the date on which Tenant obtains
and receives all Governmental Approvals (excluding a Medicare provider number)

first full calendar month to commence on or after the Commencement Date.
Notwithstanding the Commencement Date, if for any reason Landlord cannot deliver
possession of the Property to Tenant on the Commencement Date, Landlord shall

Agreement, Acquisition Agreement and the Property Acquisition Agreement is

obligation of Developer pursuant to the Development Agreement and (iii) Landlord

the Property and the Property might not be developed (and nothing in this Lease
shall require the Landlord to develop the Property or construct the
Improvements). In the event Landlord shall not acquire the Property on or before

after the Completion Date, Tenant shall have the right, by delivery to Landlord
within ten (10) days thereafter of Tenant's written notice of termination, to

definition of "Fair Market Rental"). Each such option may only be exercised by
Tenant if, at the time such option is exercised, (i) Guarantor irrevocably
commits to cause each Tenant under a Lease executed pursuant to the Facility
Agreement to exercise the next option for an Extended Term with respect to all
property leased by Landlord or its Affiliates to either (x) any wholly-owned
subsidiary of Guarantor or (y) any Person previously owned by Guarantor, (ii)
the Lease is in full force and effect, and (iii) an Event of Default is not
continuing. Each such option shall be exercised by Tenant, if at all, by
delivery of Notice to that effect to Landlord not less than 270 days but not
more than 450 days prior to the date upon which this Lease otherwise would
terminate. If Tenant is unable to exercise any option due to the provisions of
this Section 3.2, the time during which such option may be exercised shall not
be extended or enlarged. Time is strictly of the essence with respect to the
requirement that Tenant give timely Notice of its exercise of any options
hereunder, and Tenant's failure timely to exercise any option strictly in
accordance with its terms shall constitute a material, irredeemable and
incurable failure to satisfy a condition precedent to the vesting of any rights
in Tenant pursuant to the option, and Tenant hereby expressly waives any right
to claim relief from forfeiture, or any other form of equitable relief from
consequences of an untimely exercise of any such option strictly in accordance
with its terms. The implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing under this
Lease shall not be construed to impose upon Landlord any obligation to notify
Tenant in advance of the impending deadline for the exercise of any option
hereunder, nor shall it obligate Landlord to excuse the tardy exercise of any
Option, however slight. The failure of Tenant to exercise any of the options for
the Extended Terms within the respective times specified in this Section shall
thereby terminate any option with respect to any remaining Extended Terms.
4. RENT
----
4.1. PAYMENT OF BASE RENT. During the Term, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord, in lawful money of the United States of America, in immediately
available funds, without right of offset, at the address of Landlord as set
forth in Section 29.8 or at such other place or to such other Person as Landlord
may designate from time-to-time in a Notice, the Base Rent and all other
"Additional Charges" due hereunder.
4.2. BASE RENT. Commencing on the first Business Day of the first full
calendar month occurring after the Commencement Date and continuing thereafter
on the first day of each calendar month occurring thereafter during the Term
hereof, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the annual Base Rent payable for each year
during the Term hereof in equal monthly installments; provided that the first
payment of Base Rent shall include an additional payment for the partial
calendar month occurring between the Commencement Date and the first payment of
Base Rent required under this Section. Any payment of Base Rent for a period of
less than one calendar month shall be prorated based upon a 30 day month.
4.3. ADDITIONAL RENT. Commencing on the first day of the second Lease
Year and continuing on the first day of each succeeding Lease Year thereafter
commencing during the
13
<PAGE> 17
Term, Tenant shall pay, in addition to the Base Rent, an annual amount (the
"ADDITIONAL RENT") equal to the sum of (i) Additional Rent, if any, payable
during the immediately preceding Lease Year and (i) the product of (x) the
Adjustment Factor for the immediately preceding Lease Year and (y) the sum of
Base Rent plus Additional Rent, if any, payable to Landlord during the
immediately preceding Lease Year. The annual Additional Rent shall be paid to
Landlord in equal monthly installments paid concurrently with each payment of
Base Rent.
4.4. ADDITIONAL CHARGES/LATE PAYMENTS. Tenant shall pay and discharge
as and when due and payable all Impositions and other amounts, liabilities and
obligations which relate to the Property. If Tenant fails or refuses to pay any
of the items referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant shall
promptly pay and discharge every fine, penalty, interest and cost which may
arise or accrue for the non-payment or late payment of such items. The
aforementioned amounts, liabilities, obligations, Impositions, fines, penalties,
interest and costs and any and all other amounts which Tenant may owe to
Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease are referred to herein as
"Additional Charges." The Additional Charges shall constitute Rent hereunder.
Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of any Rent
due under this Lease will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this
Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such
costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and
late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any mortgage or
trust deed covering the Property. Accordingly, if any Rent shall not be paid
within five (5) days of its due date, Tenant shall pay Landlord without
requirement of notice or demand therefor, as an Additional Charge, a late charge
equal to six percent (6%) of the amount of such overdue Rent and, in such event,
the parties hereby agree that such late charge will represent a fair and
reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of the late
payment by Tenant. No late charge may be imposed more than once for the same
late payment. Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall in no event
constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with respect to such overdue amount, nor
prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights and remedies to which it may
be entitled hereunder.
4.5. BOND LEASE. This Lease is what is commonly called a "bond lease",
it being understood that Landlord shall receive all Rent as provided in this
Article net of any and all Impositions, Encumbrances, charges, costs,
liabilities or expenses of any nature whatsoever in connection with the
ownership and operation of the Property.
(A) NO SET-OFF OF RENT. Landlord shall receive all Rent due
hereunder and Rent shall be due and payable by Tenant in all events, without
notice or demand and without any setoff, counterclaim, abatement, suspension,
deduction or defense whatsoever. Tenant hereby irrevocably waives the
application of and any rights it may have pursuant to any law or other Legal
Requirement relating to valuation and appraisement. In addition to the Rent
reserved by this Article, Tenant shall pay to the parties respectively entitled
thereto all Impositions, insurance premiums, operating charges, maintenance
charges, construction costs (excluding Total Project Costs which are expressly
made the responsibility of another Person under the Transaction Documents) and
any other charges, costs, liabilities and expenses which arise with respect to
the Property or which otherwise may be contemplated under any provisions of this
Lease during the Term hereof. All of such charges, costs, liabilities and
expenses shall constitute additional rent, and upon the failure of Tenant to pay
any such costs, charges, liabilities or expenses, Landlord shall have the same
rights and remedies as otherwise provided in this Lease for the failure of
Tenant to pay Rent. It is the intention of the parties hereto that, except as
herein expressly provided this Lease shall not be terminable for any reason by
Tenant. Any present or future law to the contrary shall not alter this agreement
of the parties.
14
<PAGE> 18
(b) BANKRUPTCY. Tenant covenants and agrees that it will remain
obligated under this Lease in accordance with its terms, and that Tenant will
not take any action to terminate, rescind, or avoid this Lease, notwithstanding
the bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, readjustment,
liquidation, dissolution, windingup or other proceeding affecting Landlord or
any assignee of Landlord in any such proceeding and notwithstanding any action
with respect to this Lease which may be taken by any trustee or receiver of
Landlord or any such assignee in any such proceeding or by any court in any such
proceeding.
(i) In the event that Tenant shall file a petition, or an
order for relief is entered against the Tenant, under Chapter 7, 9, 11 or 13 of
the Bankruptcy Code (11 USC ss. 101 et seq.) (the "Bankruptcy Code"), and the
trustee of Tenant shall elect to assume this Lease for the purpose of assigning
the same, such assumption and/or assignment may only be made if all of the terms
and conditions of subsections (ii) and (iii) of this Section 4.5((b)) are
satisfied. If such trustee or debtor-in-possession, as the case may require,
shall fail to elect to assume this Lease within sixty (60) days after such
trustee of Tenant shall have been appointed, or the date of filing of the
petition, as the case may be, at Landlord's election (and in Landlord's sole
and absolute discretion) this Lease shall be deemed to have been rejected
and, in such event, Landlord shall thereupon immediately be entitled to
possession of the Property without further obligation to the Tenant or Tenant's
trustee in bankruptcy, and this Lease shall be canceled, but Landlord's right
to be compensated for damages in such bankruptcy proceeding shall survive such
cancellation.
(ii) No election to assume this Lease shall be effective
unless in writing and addressed to Landlord and unless, in the Landlord's
business judgment, all of the following conditions, which Landlord and Tenant
acknowledge to be commercially reasonable, have been satisfied.
(A) The trustee or the debtor-in-possession has cured or has
provided Landlord "adequate assurance" (as defined hereunder) that:
(1) within ten (10) days from the date of such assumption,
the trustee (or debtor-in-possession) will cure all monetary defaults
under this Lease; and
(2) within thirty (30) days from the date of such
assumption, the trustee (or debtor-in-possession) will cure all
nonmonetary defaults under this Lease.
(B) The trustee or the debtor-in-possession has compensated,
or has provided to Landlord adequate assurance that within ten (10) days from
the date of assumption Landlord will be compensated, for any pecuniary loss
incurred by Landlord arising from the default of the Tenant, the trustee, or
the debtor-in-possession, as recited in Landlord's written statement of
pecuniary loss sent to the trustee or debtor-in-possession;
(C) The trustee or the debtor-in-possession has provided
Landlord with adequate assurance of the future performance of each of Tenant's
obligations under the Lease; provided, however, that:
(1) the trustee or debtor-in-possession shall also
deposit with Landlord, as security for the timely payment of Rent, an
amount equal to three (3) months' of the then current Base Rent and
other monetary charges accruing under this Lease; and
15
<PAGE> 19
(2) the obligations imposed upon the trustee or
debtor-in-possession shall continue with respect to Tenant after the completion
of bankruptcy proceedings.
(D) Landlord has determined that the assumption of the Lease
will not:
(1) breach any provision in any agreement by which
Landlord is bound relating to the Property; or
(2) disrupt, in Landlord's judgment, the reputation and
profitability of the Property.
(E) For purposes of this subsection (ii), "adequate assurance"
shall mean:
(1) Landlord shall determine that the trustee or the
debtor-in-possession has and will continue to have sufficient
unencumbered assets after the payment of all secured obligations and
administrative expenses to assure Landlord that the trustee or
debtor-in-possession will have sufficient funds to fulfill the
obligations of Tenant under this Lease; and
(2) an order shall have been entered segregating
sufficient cash payable to Landlord and/or there shall have been
granted a valid and perfected first lien and security interest in
property of the Tenant, trustee or debtor-in-possession, acceptable as
to value and kind to Landlord, to secure to Landlord the obligation of
the Trustee or debtor-in-possession to cure the monetary and/or
nonmonetary defaults under this Lease within the time periods set
forth above.
(iii) If the trustee or debtor-in-possession has assumed the
Lease pursuant to the terms and provisions of subsections (i) and (ii) herein,
for the purpose of assigning (or election to assign) the Tenant's interest under
this Lease or the estate created thereby, to any other person, such interest or
estate may be so assigned only if Landlord shall acknowledge in writing that the
intended assignee has provided "adequate assurance" (as defined in this
subsection (iii)) of future performance of all of the terms, covenants and
conditions of this Lease to be performed by Tenant. For purposes of this
Section, adequate assurance of future performance shall mean that Landlord shall
have ascertained that each of the following conditions has been satisfied:
(A) The assignee has submitted a current financial statement audited
by a Certified Public Accountant which shows a net worth and working capital in
amounts determined to be sufficient by Landlord to assure the future performance
by such assignee of the Tenant's obligations under this Lease;
(B) If requested by Landlord, the assignee shall have obtained
guarantees in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord from one or more
persons who satisfy Landlord's standards of creditworthiness;
16
<PAGE> 20
(C) Landlord has obtained all consents to waivers from any third party
required under any lease, mortgage, financing arrangement or other agreement by
which Landlord is bound to enable Landlord to permit such assignment;
(D) This assignee has deposited an adequate security deposit with
Landlord; and
(E) The assignee has demonstrated that its intended use of the
Property is consistent with the terms of this Lease and will not diminish the
reputation of the Building, or violate any "exclusive" which has been granted to
another tenant in the Building.
(iv) When, pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, the trustee or
debtor-in-possession shall be obligated to pay reasonable use and occupancy
charges for the use of the Property or any portion thereof, such charges shall
not be less than the then current Base Rent as defined in this Lease and other
monetary obligations of Tenant.
(v) Neither Tenant's interest in the Lease, nor any lesser
interest of Tenant herein, nor any estate of Tenant hereby created, shall pass
to any trustee, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, or any other
person or entity, or otherwise by operation of law under the laws of any state
having jurisdiction of the person or property of the Tenant unless Landlord
shall consent to such transfer in writing. No acceptance by Landlord of rent or
any other payments from any such trustee, receiver, assignee, person or other
entity shall be deemed to have waived, nor shall it waive the need to obtain
Landlord's consent or Landlord's right to terminate this Lease for any transfer
of Tenant's interest under this Lease without such consent.
(vi) Any person or entity to which this Lease is assigned
pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed without
further act or deed to have assumed all of the obligations arising under this
Lease on or after the date of such assignment. Any such assignee shall, upon
demand, execute and deliver to Landlord an instrument confirming such
assumption.
5. IMPOSITIONS
-----------
5.1. PAYMENT OF IMPOSITIONS. Tenant shall pay, or cause to be paid, all
Impositions prior to delinquency and before any fine, penalty, interest or cost
may be added for nonpayment (subject to Tenant's rights of contest pursuant to
the provisions of Article 13. Such payments shall be made directly to the
authorities levying or to the other persons entitled to such Impositions, if
possible. Tenant shall, promptly upon request by Landlord, furnish to Landlord
original or certified copies of receipts or other reasonably satisfactory
evidence of such payments. Tenant's obligation to pay Impositions shall be
deemed absolutely fixed upon the date such Impositions become due to the
authority or person entitled thereto. If any such Imposition may, at the option
of the payor, lawfully be paid in installments (whether or not interest shall
accrue on the unpaid balance of such Imposition), Tenant may pay the same (and
shall pay any accrued interest on the unpaid balance of such Imposition) in
installments, and in such event shall pay such installments (subject to Tenant's
right of contest pursuant to the provisions of Article 13) as the same become
due and before any fine, penalty, premium, further interest or cost is added
thereto. Landlord shall, to the extent required or permitted by applicable laws
and regulations, prepare at its expense and file all returns with respect to
Landlord's net income, gross receipts, sales, use, single business, transaction
privilege, rent, ad valorem and franchise taxes, and with respect to taxes on
Landlord's capital stock. Tenant shall, at its expense, and to the extent
required or permitted by applicable laws and regulations, prepare and file all
other tax
17
<PAGE> 21
returns and reports with respect to any Imposition as may be required by
governmental agencies, authorities or other persons entitled to the receipt of
the Impositions. If any refund shall be due from any taxing authority or other
persons entitled to the receipt of the Impositions with respect to any
Imposition paid by Tenant, the same shall be paid over to and retained by Tenant
unless an Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder and be continuing, in
which case such refund shall be paid over to and retained by Landlord. Any such
funds retained by Landlord due to an Event of Default shall be applied as
provided in Article 17. Landlord and Tenant shall, each upon a request by the
other, provide such information regarding the Property as is maintained by the
party to whom the request is made as may be reasonably necessary to prepare any
required returns or reports. If any governmental agency or authority classifies
any property covered by this Lease as personal property, Tenant shall file all
personal property tax returns in such jurisdictions where it may legally so
file. Landlord, to the extent it possesses the same, and Tenant, to the extent
it possesses the same, will provide to the other party, promptly upon request,
cost and depreciation records reasonably necessary for filing returns for any
property so classified as personal property. If Landlord is legally required to
file any personal property tax returns, Landlord shall provide Tenant with
copies of any assessment notices with respect thereto in sufficient time for
Tenant to file a protest with respect thereto if it so elects pursuant to
Article 13. If no Event of Default is then continuing, Tenant may at its option
and sole cost and expense, upon notice to Landlord, protest, appeal or institute
such other proceedings as Tenant reasonably may deem appropriate to effect a
reduction of real estate or personal property assessments so long as such action
is conducted in good faith and with due diligence and without prejudice to
Landlord's rights or interest in or with respect to the Property or Landlord's
rights under this Lease. In such event, Landlord, at Tenant's sole cost and
expense, shall fully cooperate with Tenant in such protest, appeal, or other
action. Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, protect, save and hold
Landlord harmless from and against any and all losses, demands, claims,
obligations and liabilities against or incurred by Landlord in connection with
such protest, appeal or other proceeding. Billings by Landlord to Tenant for
reimbursement of personal property taxes shall be accompanied by copies of a
bill therefor and evidence of payment thereof which identify the personal
property with respect to which such payment has been made.
5.2. NOTICE OF IMPOSITIONS. Landlord shall give prompt Notice to Tenant
of all Impositions payable by Tenant hereunder of which Landlord at any time has
knowledge. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Landlord's failure to give
any such Notice shall in no way diminish Tenant's obligations hereunder to pay
such Impositions, but unless Tenant or Manager otherwise had notice of such
Imposition, Landlord shall be responsible for any fine, penalty or interest
resulting from its failure to give such Notice and any default by Tenant
hereunder shall be obviated for a reasonable time after Tenant receives Notice
of any Imposition which it is obligated to pay.
5.3. ADJUSTMENT OF IMPOSITIONS. Impositions imposed with respect to the
tax period during which the Term expires or terminates shall be adjusted and
prorated between Landlord and Tenant, whether or not such Imposition is imposed
before or after such expiration or termination, so that Tenant is only obligated
to pay that portion of such Imposition(s) pertaining to the tax period within
the Term. The obligation of Tenant to pay its prorated share of Impositions
shall survive expiration of earlier termination of this Lease.
5.4. UTILITY CHARGES. Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all charges
for all utilities, including but not limited to electricity, power, gas, oil and
water, used in the Property during the Term.
5.5. INSURANCE PREMIUMS. Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all
premiums for insurance coverage required to be maintained pursuant to Article
14.
18
<PAGE> 22
6. TERMINATION OR ABATEMENT OF LEASE
---------------------------------
6.1. NO TERMINATION OR ABATEMENT. Without limiting the generality of
Section 4.5((a)) hereof, Tenant, to the full extent permitted by law, shall
remain bound by this Lease in accordance with its terms in all events unless
Landlord shall elect to terminate this Lease (other than due to an Event of
Default) in accordance with the terms hereof. Tenant shall not take any action
without the prior written consent of Landlord to modify, surrender or terminate
this Lease. The obligations of Landlord and Tenant hereunder shall be separate
and independent covenants and agreements, and Rent and all other sums shall
continue to be payable by Tenant hereunder in any event unless the obligation of
Tenant to pay the same terminates pursuant to the express provisions of this
Lease by termination of this Lease (other than by reason of an Event of
Default). Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence,
Tenant shall not seek or be entitled to any abatement, deduction, deferment or
reduction of Rent, or setoff against Rent, nor shall the respective obligations
of Landlord and Tenant be otherwise affected by reason of (a) any damage to, or
destruction of, all or any portion of the Property from whatever cause or any
Taking of all or any portion of the Property; (b) the lawful or unlawful
prohibition of, or restriction upon, Tenant's use of all or any portion of the
Property, or the interference with such use or with Tenant's quiet enjoyment of
the Property by any person or entity; (c) the eviction of Tenant from the
Property or any portion thereof whether by paramount title or otherwise; (d) any
claim which Tenant has or may have against Landlord by reason of any default or
breach of any warranty by Landlord under this Lease or any other agreement
between Landlord and Tenant or to which Landlord and Tenant are parties; (e) any
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, readjustment, liquidation,
dissolution, winding up or other proceeding affecting Landlord or any assignee
or transferee of Landlord; or (f) any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar
to any of the foregoing. Tenant hereby specifically waives all rights, arising
from any occurrence whatsoever, which (i) may now or hereafter be conferred upon
it by law or otherwise to modify, surrender or terminate this Lease or quit or
surrender all or any portion of the Property or (ii) entitle Tenant to any
abatement, reduction, suspension or deferment of Rent or other sums payable by
Tenant hereunder.
7. OWNERSHIP OF PROPERTY; TENANT'S PERSONAL PROPERTY SECURITY INTEREST
-------------------------------------------------------------------
7.1. OWNERSHIP OF THE PROPERTY. The Property is, and throughout the
Term shall continue to be, the property of Landlord. Tenant has only the right
to the exclusive possession and use of the Property, upon the terms and subject
to the conditions set forth in this Lease.
7.2. TENANT'S PERSONAL PROPERTY; SECURITY INTEREST. Tenant may, at its
expense, install, assemble or place on the Property any items of Tenant's
Personal Property and may, subject to the conditions set forth below, remove
Tenant's Personal Property upon the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease (other than a termination upon an Event of Default). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in order to secure the payment and the performance of all of Tenant's
obligations under this Lease, Tenant hereby grants to Landlord a security
interest in (and hereby pledges and collaterally assigns to Landlord) all of
Tenant's rights, title and interest in and to Tenant's Personal Property, all
whether now existing or hereafter acquired and hereby further agrees to execute
and deliver to Landlord, forthwith after demand by Landlord from time to time,
any security agreement in a reasonable form determined by Landlord and such
additional writings and instruments, including without limitation financing
statements, as may be required by Landlord for the purpose of effectuating the
intent of this sentence and perfecting the security interest granted to Landlord
hereunder, and Tenant agrees that Landlord shall have with respect to all of
Tenant's Personal Property all rights and remedies of a secured party under the
Uniform
19
<PAGE> 23
Commercial Code as adopted by and in effect in the State, including, but not
limited to, the right after the occurrence of an Event of Default to use, retain
or sell Tenant's Personal Property (and any such sale may be either a private or
public sale as determined in Landlord's reasonable discretion), and Landlord
shall not be required to remove any of such Personal Property from the Property
and in no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for Landlord's use or taking
possession of such Personal Property. Pending disposition of such Personal
Property by Landlord, the Landlord shall be entitled to use such Personal
Property in connection with the operation (if any) of the Facility. Tenant shall
not permit the Property or Tenant's Personal Property to become subject to any
liens or encumbrances of any kind without first obtaining the prior written
consent of Landlord, except that no such consent shall be required for any
purchase money security interest for the acquisition of equipment constituting
Tenant's Personal Property. The security interest granted Landlord hereby shall
be subordinate to any such purchase money security interest. Landlord further
agrees that Tenant may lease Tenant's Personal Property from third parties, and
Landlord shall execute and deliver such agreements as may be reasonably required
by any equipment lessor or the holder of a purchase money security interest to
confirm that Landlord's lien on the item of Tenant's Personal Property in
question is subordinate to the rights of such equipment lessor or lender on the
express condition that, in each case, Tenant shall obtain from the holder of the
purchase money debt or lessor of Personal Property, as the case may be, its
agreement to (i) notify Landlord of any default by Tenant, (ii) allow Landlord
an opportunity to cure any default, (iii) recognize Landlord as succeeding to
Tenant's rights under the agreement in question and to the undisturbed use of
the equipment, provided that Landlord fully complies with the terms of such
agreement. Tenant shall provide and maintain on the Property during the entire
Term such Tenant's Personal Property as shall be necessary to operate the
Facility in compliance with any and all applicable licensure and certification
requirements, in compliance with all Legal Requirements and Insurance
Requirements and otherwise in accordance with customary practice in the health
care industry with respect to the Primary Intended Use then conducted on the
Property by Tenant and permitted hereunder. All Tenant's Personal Property not
removed by Tenant within ten (10) days following the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease shall be considered abandoned by Tenant and may be
appropriated, sold, destroyed or otherwise disposed of by Landlord without first
giving Notice thereof to Tenant and without any payment or obligation to account
to Tenant. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, restore the Property to
the condition required by Section 10.1((d)), including repair of all damage to
the Property caused by the removal of Tenant's Personal Property, whether
effected by Tenant or Landlord.
8. CONDITION AND USE OF PROPERTY
-----------------------------
8.1. CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY. By taking possession of the Property,
Tenant warrants and represents to Landlord (i) that it has examined and
otherwise has approved the condition of the Property prior to accepting such
possession, (ii) that Tenant has found the Property to be approved for occupancy
by all appropriate governmental agencies having jurisdiction over issues related
to occupancy, and (iii) that Tenant has found the Property to be satisfactory to
Tenant in every respect including for its Primary Intended Use. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Tenant is leasing the Property "AS IS" irrespective of the
accuracy of the facts and circumstances acknowledged and warranted and
represented by Tenant as aforesaid, without any representation or warranty by
Landlord of any kind and subject to all matters of every kind and description
including without limitation (a) the existing state of title, including all
covenants, conditions, restrictions, ground leases, easements, licenses, Legal
Requirements, mortgages, deeds of trust, assignments of leases, fixture filings
and other financing instruments and any and all other matters, including matters
known to Tenant, all matters of record and other matters, and (b) matters which
would be disclosed by an inspection of the Property or by an accurate survey of
the Land,
20
<PAGE> 24
(c) any matter relating to the construction, development or quality of the
Improvements, Fixtures and any and all furnishings and equipment installed or
located therein or otherwise within the Property, and (d) all other matters
which should reasonably have been known or unknown to Tenant. Tenant waives any
and all claims, demands and cause or causes of action heretofore or hereafter
arising against Landlord with respect to the condition of the Property. WITHOUT
LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, LANDLORD MAKES NO WARRANTY OR
REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY OR ANY PART
THEREOF, EITHER AS TO ITS DESIGN, CONDITION, HABITABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY
PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE, OR AS TO THE QUALITY OF DEFECTS IN THE
MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP THEREIN, LATENT OR PATENT. TENANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND
AGREES THAT, AS OF THE COMMENCEMENT DATE, THE PROPERTY SHALL BE CONCLUSIVELY
DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN INSPECTED BY TENANT AND SHALL BE CONCLUSIVELY DEEMED TO BE
SATISFACTORY TO IT IN ALL RESPECTS.
8.2. USE OF THE PROPERTY.
(a) Tenant covenants, warrants and represents to Landlord that at
the Commencement Date Tenant shall have, and shall thereafter exercise its best
efforts to maintain in effect, all permits, licenses, authorizations and
approvals needed to use and operate the Facility for Tenant's Primary Intended
Use in accordance with all Legal Requirements.
(b) Throughout the entire Term, Tenant shall use or cause the
Property to be used solely for its Primary Intended Use. Tenant shall not use
the Property or any portion thereof for any other purpose whatsoever without the
prior written consent of Landlord. The parties agree that Landlord's consent
will not be deemed to be unreasonably withheld if, in the reasonable opinion of
Landlord, the Tenant's proposed use of the Property will significantly alter the
character or purpose or detract from the value or operating efficiency of the
Property, or significantly impair the revenue-producing capability of the
Property. No use shall be made or permitted to be made of the Property and no
acts shall be done which violate any Legal Requirements or Insurance
Requirements or which will cause the cancellation of any insurance policy
covering the Property or any part thereof, nor shall Tenant sell or permit to be
kept, used or sold in, about or under the Property any Hazardous Substance or
any other article which may be prohibited by the Legal Requirements or Insurance
Requirements (provided, however, that Hazardous Substances comprised of medical
waste or medical substances such as isotopes, alcohol, formaldehyde and other
substances commonly used in the operation of medical offices and clinics similar
to the Facility shall be permitted on the Property so long as all such wastes
and substances are used, handled, maintained and disposed of in strict
accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements).
Tenant shall, at its sole cost, comply with all Legal Requirements and Insurance
Requirements.
(c) Tenant shall not commit or suffer to be committed any waste
nor shall Tenant cause or permit any nuisance on the Property.
(d) Tenant shall neither suffer nor permit all or any portion of
Tenant's Personal Property or the Property, including any Capital Addition
whether or not financed or paid for by Landlord, to be used in such a manner as
(i) may impair the owner's title or Landlord's entitlement thereto or to any
portion thereof or (ii) may make possible a claim or claims of adverse usage,
prescriptive right, adverse possession or implied dedication of all or any
portion of the Property to the public, except as is necessary in the ordinary
and prudent operation of the Property.
21
<PAGE> 25
8.3. FUNDING OF MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR.
Commencing in the sixth Lease Year, and continuing during each
Lease Year throughout the Term, Tenant shall expend no less than $18,000 [$300
per unit ] during each Lease Year with respect to maintenance of the Property
and capital repairs of existing elements of the Property. For the avoidance of
doubt, expenditures with respect to repair and replacement of Tenant's Personal
Property and other personal property at or about the Property shall not be
included when determining whether Tenant has complied with the requirements of
this Section 8.3. Upon the request of Landlord, Tenant shall deliver a written
report to Landlord or its designated agent stating (i) the expenditures made by
Tenant in accordance with this Section 8.3 during any prior Lease Year and (ii)
the expenditures which Tenant anticipates making during the current Lease Year
in order to comply with this Section 8.3.
9. LEGAL REQUIREMENTS AND INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
---------------------------------------------
9.1. COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL REQUIREMENTS, INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS AND
INSTRUMENTS. Subject to the rights of Tenant as provided in Article 13 relating
to permitted contests, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall promptly (a)
comply with all applicable Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements with
respect to the use, operation, maintenance, repair and restoration of the
Property, whether or not compliance therewith shall require structural change in
the Property or interfere with the use and enjoyment of the Property, and (b)
procure, maintain and comply with all appropriate licenses, certificates of
need, provider agreements, service agreements and other permits, licenses,
franchises and authorizations required for the Facility, any use of the Property
and Tenant's Personal Property then being made, and for the proper erection,
installation, operation and maintenance of the Property or any part thereof,
including without limitation any Capital Additions.
9.2. COVENANTS REGARDING LEGAL REQUIREMENTS. Tenant covenants and
agrees that it shall not use the Property or Tenant's Personal Property for any
purpose which violates the Legal Requirements. Tenant shall acquire and maintain
all appropriate licenses, certificates, permits, provider agreements, service
agreements, franchises, authorizations and approvals necessary to operate the
Property and the Facility in its customary manner for the Primary Intended Use,
and any other use conducted on the Property by Tenant and permitted by Landlord
hereunder. If no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, Tenant
may, however, upon prior Notice to Landlord, contest the legality or
applicability of any such Legal Requirement or any licensure decision if Tenant
maintains such action in accordance with the provisions of Article 13 hereof and
otherwise conducts such action in good faith, with due diligence, without
prejudice to Landlord's rights or entitlement to the Property or Landlord's
rights hereunder and at Tenant's sole cost and expense. If by the terms of any
such Legal Requirement compliance therewith, pending the prosecution of any such
proceeding, may legally be delayed without the occurrence of any lien, charge,
fine, penalty or other liability of any kind against the Property or Landlord's
or Tenant's leasehold interest therein and without subjecting Tenant or Landlord
to any liability, civil or criminal, for failure so to comply therewith, Tenant
may delay compliance therewith until the final determination of such proceeding.
If any lien, charge or civil or criminal liability would be incurred by reason
of any such delay, Tenant, subject to the prior written consent of Landlord
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), may nonetheless contest
and/or delay as aforesaid provided that such contest or delay, as the case may
be, will not affect Landlord's entitlement to the Property, subject Landlord or
Tenant to criminal liability and Tenant (a) furnishes to Landlord security
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion,
against any loss or injury by reason of such contest or delay, and (b)
prosecutes the contest at Tenant's sole cost and expense, with due diligence and
in good faith.

10. CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY
-------------------------
10.1. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR.
(a) Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall keep the Property
and all private roadways, sidewalks and curbs appurtenant thereto in good order,
condition and repair and, except as may otherwise be expressly provided to the
contrary in Article 15, or 16, with reasonable promptness, shall, at Tenant's
sole cost and expense, make all necessary and appropriate repairs and
replacements thereto of every kind and nature, whether interior or exterior,
structural or nonstructural, ordinary or extraordinary, patent or latent,
foreseen or unforeseen, or arising by reason of a condition existing prior to,
at or after the Commencement Date and regardless of the cause necessitating
repair. Tenant shall also be obligated at its expense to make all repairs,
modifications and renovations necessary to comply with all licensing, safety and
health and building code, regulations applicable to the Property so that it can
be legally operated for its Primary Intended Use, including all modifications or
other renovations which may be required under the Americans with Disabilities
Act of 1990, as from time to time amended (42 U.S.C. ss. 12101 et seq.). All
repairs by Tenant shall be made by duly licensed contractors under a no-lien
contract (to the extent available in the State) and shall be made in a good and
workmanlike manner using materials of good quality. Tenant shall not take or
omit to take any action, the taking or omission of which might materially impair
the value or the usefulness of all or any portion of the Property for the
Primary Intended Use. Tenant shall give Landlord ten days prior written notice
of any repair, replacement, modification or renovation pursuant to this Section
which is reasonably expected to cost in excess of $50,000 and, prior to
commencing any such repair, replacement, modification or renovation, shall
provide to Landlord either (i) a lien payment and completion bond in form and
substance and issued by a surety reasonably acceptable to Landlord in an amount
equal to 150% of the reasonably anticipated cost of such repair, replacement,
modification or renovation (which payment bond together with a copy the
applicable contract shall in the form required and shall be recorded in the
office of the county recorder or county register of the county in which the
portion of the Property is located in the manner required under the laws of the
State to prevent liens from attaching to the Property) or (ii) a payment and
completion guaranty in form and substance and executed by a guarantor reasonably
acceptable to Landlord.
(b) Landlord shall not under any circumstances be required to
build or rebuild the Building or any other improvement on the Property, or to
make any repairs, replacements, alterations, restorations or renewals of any
nature or description to the Property, whether interior or exterior, structural
or nonstructural, ordinary or extraordinary, patent or latent, foreseen or
unforeseen, or to make any expenditure whatsoever with respect thereto, in
connection with this Lease, nor shall Landlord under any circumstances be
required to maintain the Property in any other way. Tenant hereby waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, the right to make repairs at the expense of
Landlord pursuant to any law or equitable principle in effect at the time of the
execution of this Lease or hereafter enacted. Landlord shall have the right to
give, record and post, on the Property and otherwise, as appropriate, notices of
non-responsibility under any mechanic's lien laws now or hereafter existing, and
any other notices of a similar nature that Landlord may reasonably elect to
give, record or post from time to time during the Term.
(c) Nothing contained in this Lease, and no action or inaction by
Landlord, shall be deemed or construed in any manner as (i) constituting the
consent or request of Landlord, 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 all or any
portion
23
<PAGE> 27
of the Property or (ii) giving Tenant 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 a manner as would permit the making of any
claim against Landlord or any portion of the Property with respect thereto, or
to make any agreement that may create, or in any way may be the basis for the
assertion of any right, title, interest, lien, claim or other encumbrance upon
the estate of Landlord in all or any portion of the Property.
(d) Subject to Section 15.7 hereof, Tenant shall, upon the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, vacate and surrender the
Property to Landlord in the condition in which the Property was originally
received from Landlord, 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 (but such exception shall be subject to the obligation of
Tenant under this Section 10.1 to maintain and repair the Property and make
those modifications and renovations to the Property which are required to keep
the Property in good order, condition and repair during the entire Term of this
Lease).
10.2. ENCROACHMENTS. If any portion of a Building shall at any time
during the Term impair the rights of others under any easement or right-of-way
burdening the Land, provided that such restriction or easement has not been
created by Landlord subsequent to the Commencement Date and without the consent
of Tenant in violation of this Lease, then promptly upon the request of
Landlord, or at the behest of any person affected by violation or impairment and
in such case, in the event of an adverse final determination, Tenant shall, at
Tenant's sole cost and expense, but in conjunction with Landlord, 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 Landlord or Tenant, subject to Landlord's consent to all such
settlements or waivers. In any event Tenant shall, subject to Landlord's
consent, take all such actions as may be necessary in order to be able to
continue the operation of the Property for the then existing use substantially
in the manner and to the extent the Property was operated prior to the assertion
of such violation or impairment. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section
10.2 to the contrary, Tenant shall not be responsible for any claims to the
extent such claims are covered by Landlord's title insurance policy, and
Landlord agrees that any proceeds recovered under such title insurance policy
shall be made available to remedy the claimed violation or restriction.
11. CAPITAL ADDITIONS
-----------------
11.1. CONSTRUCTION OF CAPITAL ADDITIONS.
(a) If no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
Tenant may, subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Article,
construct or install Capital Additions on the Property with the prior written
approval of Landlord. Tenant shall not be permitted to create any Encumbrance on
the Property in connection with any such Capital Addition.
(b) Prior to commencing construction of any Capital Addition,
Tenant shall submit a written proposal to Landlord setting forth in detail any
proposed Capital Addition which proposal shall include plans and specifications,
permits, licenses, contracts and other information concerning the proposed
Capital Addition. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the proposal
shall indicate the approximate projected cost of constructing the proposed
Capital Addition, the use or uses to which it will be put and a good faith
estimate of the change, if any, in the Tenant's gross revenue that Tenant
anticipates will be caused by the addition of the proposed Capital Addition to
the Property. Tenant shall not commence to build any Capital Addition unless
Tenant shall first have provided Landlord with either (i) a lien payment and
completion
24
<PAGE> 28
bond in form and substance and issued by a surety reasonably acceptable to
Landlord in an amount equal to 150% of the reasonably anticipated cost of such
repair, replacement, modification or renovation (which payment bond together
with a copy the applicable contract shall in the form and amount required and
shall be recorded in the office of the county recorder or county register of
County in which the portion of the Property is located in the manner required
under the law of the State to prevent liens from attaching to the Property) or
(ii) a payment and completion guaranty in form and substance and executed by a
guarantor reasonably acceptable to Landlord.
(c) No Capital Addition shall be made which would tie in or
connect any improvements on the Property with any other improvements on property
adjacent to the Property (and not part of the Property covered by this Lease),
including without limitation, tieins of buildings or other structures or
utilities unless Tenant shall have obtained the prior written consent of
Landlord. Landlord may grant, withhold or delay its consent in its sole
discretion. All proposed Capital Additions shall be architecturally integrated
and consistent with the use and design of Property.
11.2. CAPITAL ADDITIONS FINANCED OR PAID FOR BY LANDLORD.
(a) Tenant shall request that Landlord provide or arrange
financing for any Capital Addition which is reasonably expected to cost in
excess of $50,000 by providing to Landlord such information about the Capital
Addition as Landlord may reasonably request. Landlord may, but shall be under no
obligation to, meet the request, and within 30 days of receipt of such
information, Landlord shall notify Tenant 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 (including,
without limitation, an increase in Rent to compensate Landlord for the
additional funds advanced by it). In no event shall the portion of such Capital
Additions cost constituting charges for material, labor and fixtures comprise
less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the total amount of such Capital
Additions Cost.
(b) If Landlord elects to finance the Capital Additions Cost of
the proposed Capital Addition, Tenant shall provide Landlord with the following
(unless waived by Landlord in writing):
(i) prior to any disbursement of funds, such information,
certificates, licenses, permits, authorizations, evidence of zoning and other
documents reasonably requested by Landlord, or by any third party lender with
whom Landlord has agreed or may agree to provide financing, as necessary to
confirm that Tenant will be able to use the Capital Addition upon completion
thereof in accordance with the Primary Intended Use for such Capital Addition,
including all required federal, state or local government licenses, permits,
authorizations and approvals;
(ii) prior to any disbursement of funds, an Officer's Certificate
and, if requested, a certificate from Tenant's architect, setting forth in
reasonable line-item detail the projected (or actual, if available) Capital
Additions Cost;
(iii) prior to or coincident with the first disbursement of
funds, an amendment to this Lease (together with a memorandum thereof in
recordable form), duly executed and acknowledged, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, providing for the change in the Rent, the
legal description of any land obtained or leased in connection with such Capital
Addition and such other provisions as may be necessary or appropriate;
25
<PAGE> 29
(iv) prior to or coincident with payment for any land obtained in
connection with such Capital Addition, a deed conveying to Landlord title to
such land, or, if applicable, a ground lease on terms acceptable to Landlord,
which title (or leasehold, if applicable) shall be free and clear of any liens,
encumbrances or other exceptions to or matters affecting title except those
approved by Landlord, and, upon completion of the Capital Addition, a final
as-built survey thereof reasonably satisfactory to Landlord;
(v) during construction and following completion of the Capital
Addition, endorsements to any outstanding policy of title insurance covering the
Property, or commitments therefor reasonably satisfactory in form and content to
Landlord (X) updating the same without any additional exception except such as
may be reasonably permitted by Landlord and (Y) adding to its coverage any land
acquired or leased in connection with such Capital Addition and 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 (vi) below);
(vi) following the advance of funds, if appropriate, (X) an
extended coverage owner's policy of title insurance insuring fee simple title

leased) to Landlord pursuant to subparagraph (iv), free and clear of all liens
and encumbrances except those approved by Landlord, and (Y) a lender's policy of
title insurance reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Landlord and to
any Lender with whom Landlord has agreed or may agree to provide financing; and
(vii) during or following the advancement of funds, prints of
architectural and engineering drawings relating to the Capital Addition and such
other certificates (including, but not limited to, endorsements increasing the
insurance coverage, if any, at the time required by Section 14.1), documents,
opinions of counsel, appraisals, surveys, certified copies of duly adopted
resolutions of the board of directors of Tenant authorizing the execution and
delivery of the lease amendment and any other instruments as may be reasonably
required by Landlord and any lender from whom Landlord has agreed or may agree
to obtain financing.
(c) Any new mortgage or supplement to any existing mortgage
entered into by Landlord with any lending institution covering the Property or
any land referred to in subparagraph (v) above shall be subject to the rights of
Tenant under this Lease, as this Lease may be amended from time to time.
11.3. CAPITAL ADDITIONS PAID FOR BY TENANT. If Landlord elects not to
finance the cost of a Capital Addition under the terms of Section 11.2 and
Tenant elects nevertheless to make such Capital Addition, (i) Tenant shall not
commence any construction with respect to such Capital Addition without first
obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord, (ii) Tenant shall comply with
all requirements of this Lease, including without limitation Section 10.1, and
(iii) Tenant shall pay all costs of such Capital Addition, and there shall be no
adjustment in the Rent by reason of any such Capital Addition.
11.4. DISPOSITION OF CAPITAL ADDITIONS UPON EXPIRATION OR TERMINATION
OF LEASE. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, all Capital
Additions shall pass to and become the property of Landlord, free and clear of
all encumbrances, without payment by Landlord.
11.5. NON-CAPITAL ADDITIONS. Tenant shall have the right to make
additions, modifications or improvements to the Property which are not Capital
Additions from time to time as it, in its reasonable discretion, may deem to be
desirable for the Property's uses and
26
<PAGE> 30
purposes permitted hereunder, provided that such action shall not significantly
alter the character or purpose or detract in any manner from the value or
operating efficiency of the Property nor significantly impair the
revenue-producing capability of the Property or materially and adversely affect
the ability of Tenant to comply with the provisions of this Lease and that
Tenant give Landlord ten days prior written notice of such addition,
modification or improvement the cost of which exceeds $100,000, which are not
Capital Additions. The cost of such noncapital additions, modifications or
improvements to the Property shall be paid by Tenant, and all such non-capital
additions, modifications and improvements shall, without payment by Landlord 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
Landlord.
11.6. SALVAGE. All materials which are scrapped or removed in
connection with the making of either Capital Additions permitted by Section
11.1, non-capital additions permitted by Section 11.5, or repairs required by
Article 10 shall be or become the property of Landlord.
12. LIENS
-----
Subject to the provisions of Article 13 relating to permitted contests,
Tenant shall not directly or indirectly create or allow to remain and shall
promptly discharge at its expense any lien, encumbrance, attachment, title
retention agreement or claim upon any portion of the Property or any attachment,
levy, claim or encumbrance in respect of Rent, not including, however, (a) this
Lease, (b) Permitted Encumbrances, if any, and the Leasehold Mortgage
encumbering solely Tenant's interest in the Property, (c) restrictions, liens
and other encumbrances which are consented to in writing by Landlord, (d) liens
for those taxes of Landlord which Tenant is not then currently required to pay
hereunder, (e) subleases permitted by Article 23, (f) liens for Impositions or

penalty and are in the process of being contested as permitted by Article 13,
(g) liens of mechanics, laborers, materialmen, suppliers or vendors for sums
either disputed or not yet due, provided that, notwithstanding the provisions of
Article 13, at Landlord's request Tenant shall remove any such lien from record
title to the Property, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, by executing
undertakings, with sufficient sureties in the manner required by the Law of the
State (including Indiana Statutes Section 328311) to remove such lien from
record title to the Property; provided further (i) the payment of such sums
shall not be postponed for more than five days after the completion of the
action 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 and or (ii) any such liens are in the process of being
contested as permitted by Article 13, and (h) any liens which are the
responsibility of Landlord pursuant to the provisions of Article 26.
13. CONTESTS
--------
Tenant, on its own or on Landlord's behalf (or in Landlord's name), but
at Tenant's sole cost and 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 not
otherwise permitted by Article 12, provided that (a) 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 Landlord and from the Property, (b) neither the Property nor any
Rent therefrom nor any part thereof or interest
27
<PAGE> 31
therein would be subject to any risk of being sold, forfeited, attached,
foreclosed, or lost, (c) in the case of a Legal Requirement, Landlord would not
be in any 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 then, in any
such event, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an Officer's Certificate and
opinion of counsel to the effect set forth in clauses (a), (b) and (c), to the
extent applicable, (e) in the case of a Legal Requirement or an Imposition,
lien, encumbrance or charge, Tenant shall give such reasonable security as may
be demanded by Landlord to insure ultimate payment of the same and to prevent
any sale or forfeiture of the affected portion of the Property or the Rent by
reason of such non-payment or non-compliance including without limitation a
guaranty in form and substance acceptable to Landlord and executed by a
guarantor acceptable to Landlord (g) in the case of an Insurance Requirement,
the coverage required by Article 14 shall be maintained, and (h) if such contest
be finally resolved against Landlord or Tenant, Tenant shall, as Additional
Charges due hereunder, 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. Notwithstanding any express or
implied provision of this Article to the contrary, the provisions of this
Article shall not be construed to permit Tenant to contest the payment of Rent
(except as to contests concerning the method of computation or the basis of levy
of an Imposition) or any other sums payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder.
Landlord, at Tenant's expense, shall execute and deliver to Tenant such
authorizations and other documents as may reasonably be required in any such
contest and, if reasonably requested by Tenant or if Landlord so desires,
Landlord shall join as a party therein. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and save
Landlord harmless against any liability, cost or expense of any kind that may be
imposed upon Landlord in connection with any such contest and any loss resulting
therefrom.
14. INSURANCE
---------
14.1. GENERAL INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS. Tenant shall at all times
maintain policies of insurance insuring the Property, and all property located
in or on the Property and shall insure the Property, against the kinds of risks
and in the amounts of coverage described below. All such insurance shall be
written by companies of recognized responsibility authorized to conduct an
insurance business in the State. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in
subsection 14.1((e)) below, all such insurance (other than insurance with
respect to Tenant's Personal Property) shall name Landlord as the insured and
name Tenant as an additional insured. All insurance with respect to Tenant's
Personal Property shall name Tenant and Landlord as co-insureds. Proceeds of
insurance policies payable to compensate any loss shall be payable to Landlord
or Tenant as provided in Article 15. All such insurance shall name as an
additional insured or loss payee, as appropriate, the holder (a "Facility
Mortgagee") of any mortgage, deed of trust or other security agreement securing
any Encumbrance placed on the Property in accordance with the provisions of
Article 26 ("Facility Mortgages") by way of a standard form of mortgagee's loss
payable endorsement. Any loss adjustment or other settlement in excess of
$100,000 shall require the written consent of Landlord and each Facility
Mortgagee and any other lender of Landlord or its Affiliates ("Landlord Lender")
having any contractual insurance requirements which would impact on the
insurance requirements of this Lease to the extent so required and Landlord has
given Tenant notice thereof. Originals or certified copies of all insurance
policies obtained pursuant to this Article shall be deposited with Landlord and,
if requested, with any Facility Mortgagee(s) or Landlord Lender(s). The policies
on the Property, including the Building, Fixtures and Tenant's Personal
Property, shall insure against the following risks:
28
<PAGE> 32
(a) loss or damage by fire, vandalism and malicious mischief,
extended coverage perils ("all risk" as such term is used in the insurance
industry), and all physical loss perils insurance including but not limited to
sprinkler leakage, in an amount not less than 100% of the then full replacement
cost thereof (as defined below in Section 14.2) or such lesser amount as is
approved by Landlord in writing, which coverage shall include an "increased cost
of construction" endorsement;
(b) loss or damage by explosion of steam boilers, pressure
vessels or similar apparatus, now or hereafter installed in the Facility in such
amounts with respect to any one accident as may be reasonably requested by
Landlord from time to time;
(c) Tenant's business interruption under a rental value insurance
policy covering risk of loss during the lesser of the first 12 months of
reconstruction or the actual reconstruction period necessitated by the
occurrence of any of the hazards described in Sections 14.1((a)) or 14.1((b)) or
14.1((h)), if and to the extent available and economically feasible, in an
amount sufficient to prevent Landlord from becoming a coinsurer;
(d) Landlord's loss of rental, under a rental value insurance
policy for not less than 12 months of scheduled Base Rent;
(e) Claims for personal injury or property damage under a policy
of Comprehensive General Public Liability insurance or Commercial General
Liability insurance applying to the use and occupancy of the Property, or any
part thereof, or any areas adjacent thereto, and the business operated by
Tenant. Such insurance shall name Tenant as the named insured and name Landlord
and American Health Properties, Inc. as an additional insured and shall include
Broad Form Contractual Liability insurance coverage insuring all of Tenant's
indemnity obligations pursuant to Section 22.1 of this Lease. Such coverage
shall have a total limit of $13,000,000 with a minimum combined single limit of
liability of primary policy coverage of at least $1,000,000 with a general
aggregate limit as to such primary policy of at least $3,000,000 and shall have
a minimum umbrella or excess limit of at least $10,000,000. Any such policy
shall be written to apply to all bodily injury, property damage, personal injury
and other covered losses, however occasioned, occurring during the policy term,
and shall be endorsed to provide that such coverage shall be primary and that
any insurance maintained by Landlord shall be excess insurance only. Such
coverage shall also contain endorsements: (i) deleting any employee exclusion on
personal injury coverage; (ii) including employees as additional insureds; (iii)
deleting any liquor liability exclusion; and (iv) providing for coverage of
employers automobile nonownership liability. All such insurance shall provide
for severability of interests; shall provide that an act or omission of one of
the named insureds shall not reduce or avoid coverage to the other named
insureds; and shall afford coverage for all claims based on acts, omissions,
injury and damage, which claims occurred or arose (or the onset of which
occurred or arose) in whole or in part during the policy period. Tenant shall
also maintain employers liability insurance with a total limit of $10,500,000
with a limit as to the primary policy of no less than $500,000 per employee and
$500,000 per occurrence and as to the excess or umbrella policy of at least
$10,000,000;
(f) claims arising out of medical malpractice in an amount not
less than $13,000,000 in total with a primary coverage policy limit of not less
than $1,000,000 for each person and $3,000,000 per occurrence and an umbrella
policy coverage of not less than $10,000,000;
(g) flood (when the Property is located in whole or in part
within an area designated by an appropriate agency or authority of the United
States as a flood plain) and such
29
<PAGE> 33
other hazards (including without limitation earthquake) in such amounts as may
be customary for comparable properties in the County in which the Property is
located and as may be available from insurance companies, insurance pools, or
other appropriate companies authorized to do business in the State at rates
which are economically practicable in relation to the risks covered; and
(h) During any period during which any Capital Addition is under
construction, course of construction insurance and all risks insurance in such
amounts as Landlord shall reasonably require.
14.2. REPLACEMENT COST. The term "full replacement cost" as used herein
shall mean the actual replacement cost of the Property requiring replacement
from time to time, less the standard printed exclusions provided in a normal
fire insurance policy. The amount of the insurance coverage shall be sufficient
to preclude either Landlord or Tenant from becoming a co-insurer under the
provisions of the policy. At the option of Landlord, Tenant shall procure a
"stipulated value" or "agreed amount" endorsement deleting the co-insurance
provision of any insurance policy required hereunder. If either party believes
that full replacement cost (the then replacement cost less such exclusions) has
increased or decreased at any time during the Lease Term, it may have such full
replacement cost redetermined by the insurer then providing the largest amount
of fire insurance coverage carried on the Property.
14.3. ADDITIONAL INSURANCE. In addition to the insurance described in
Section 14.1, throughout the Term Tenant shall maintain such additional
insurance as may reasonably be required from time to time by Landlord provided
that the types and amounts of any such additional insurance required by Landlord
is then customarily maintained by the operators of similar health care
facilities in the County in which the Property is located. Tenant shall further
maintain adequate workers' compensation insurance coverage for all persons
employed by Tenant on the Property. Such workers' compensation insurance shall
be in accordance with the requirements of applicable local, state and federal
law.
14.4. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. All insurance policies carried by Landlord
or Tenant covering the Property, the Fixtures, the Facility or Tenant's Personal
Property shall expressly waive any right of subrogation on the part of the
insurer against the other party. Landlord and Tenant agree that the respective
policies of insurance carried by them will include such waiver clauses or
endorsements so long as the same are obtainable without extra cost. If such
clauses and endorsements are only available upon the payment of an extra charge,
the other party, at its election, may pay the same, but shall not be obligated
to do so; provided that the Tenant shall at all times be obligated to carry the
policies of insurance required under this Article regardless of whether the
waiver of subrogation required under this Section is available.
14.5. FORM OF INSURANCE. All of the policies of insurance referred to
in this Article shall be written in a form satisfactory to Landlord, and issued
by insurance companies which are duly authorized to issue such insurance in the
State and are rated A-X or better in the most current issue of "Best's Insurance
Guide". Landlord agrees that it will not unreasonably withhold or delay its
approval as to the form of the policies or the insurance companies selected by
Tenant. Tenant shall pay all of the premiums therefor, and shall deliver an
original or certified copy of any policy, and each renewal thereof, to Landlord,
any Facility Mortgagee and any Landlord Lender at least 10 days prior to the
expiration of the existing policy to which such renewal policy relates. If
Tenant either fails to effect such insurance as herein required or to pay the
premiums therefor, or to deliver such policies or certified copies thereof to
Landlord at the times required, Landlord shall be entitled, but shall have no
obligation, to effect such insurance and pay the premiums therefor, which
premiums shall be repayable to Landlord as Rent upon demand
30
<PAGE> 34
therefor in a Notice, and failure by Tenant to repay the same shall constitute
an Event of Default within the meaning of Section 17.1((b)). Each insurer
mentioned in this Article shall agree, by endorsement on the policy or policies
issued by it, or by independent instrument furnished to Landlord, that it will
give to Landlord (and to any Facility Mortgagee and Landlord Lender of which
Tenant has notice, if required) 30 days' prior written notice before such policy
or policies expire, are altered or are canceled.
14.6. CHANGE IN LIMITS. If either party shall at any time deem the
limits of the personal injury or property damage public liability insurance or
malpractice insurance then carried by Tenant to be insufficient or excessive,
the parties shall endeavor in good faith to agree promptly upon the proper and
reasonable limits for such insurance to be carried; provided that if the parties
are unable to so agree, such dispute shall be submitted to arbitration in
accordance with the provisions of Section 29.14 hereof. Such insurance shall
thereafter be carried with the limits thus agreed upon until further change
pursuant to the provisions of this Section.
14.7. BLANKET POLICY. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Article, Tenant'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 Tenant so long as (a) the
coverage afforded to Landlord is not reduced or diminished or otherwise altered
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 (b) the requirements of this Article are otherwise satisfied.
14.8. NO SEPARATE INSURANCE. Tenant shall not obtain separate insurance
concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required in
this Article 14 to be furnished by, or which may reasonably be required to be
furnished by Tenant, nor shall Tenant increase the amount 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,
including in all cases Landlord and all Facility Mortgagees, are named therein
as additional insureds, and the loss is payable under said insurance in the same
manner as losses are payable under this Lease. Tenant shall immediately notify
Landlord of the obtaining of any such separate insurance or of the increasing of
any of the amounts of the then existing insurance.
15. INSURANCE PROCEEDS
------------------
15.1. HANDLING OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS. All proceeds from any policy of
property damage insurance required by Article 14 of this Lease shall, subject to
the rights of any Facility Mortgagee, be paid to Landlord and held in trust by
Landlord (subject to the provisions of Section 15.7) and shall, if paid to
Landlord, be made available by Landlord for reconstruction or repair, as the
case may be, of any damage to or destruction of all or any portion of the
Property to which such proceeds relate and be paid out by Landlord from time to
time in accordance with and subject to the provisions hereof for the cost of
such reconstruction or repair, subject to reasonable and customary controls to
ensure funds disbursed by Landlord are in fact used for such purpose. Any unused
portion shall be retained by Landlord free and clear upon completion of such
repair and restoration. If neither Landlord nor Tenant is required or elects to
repair and restore, and the Lease is terminated without purchase by Tenant, then
all such insurance proceeds shall be retained by Landlord as its sole property,
free and clear of any claim by Tenant. All salvage resulting from any risk
covered by insurance shall belong to Landlord, except that any salvage relating
to Tenant's Personal Property shall be the property of Tenant.

<PAGE> 35
15.2. RECONSTRUCTION IN THE EVENT OF DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION COVERED BY
INSURANCE.
(a) Except as provided in Section 15.7, if during the Term the
Property is totally or substantially destroyed by a risk covered by the
insurance described in Article 14 so that the Facility thereby is rendered
unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use (taking into account all relevant
factors, including but not limited to the amount of square footage reasonably
available for use by Tenant and the type and amount of Tenant revenues lost),
Tenant shall at its option either (i) restore the Facility to substantially the
same condition as existed immediately before the damage or destruction in which
event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect or (ii) acquire the
Property from Landlord for a purchase price equal to the greater of the Minimum
Repurchase Price or the Fair Market Value Purchase Price of the Property
immediately prior to such damage or destruction. If Tenant restores the
Facility, the insurance proceeds shall be paid out by Landlord to Tenant or its
designee from time to time as necessary to pay for the reasonable costs of such
restoration. If Tenant acquires the Property, all applicable insurance proceeds
shall become the property of Tenant upon Landlord's receipt of the full purchase
price for the Property.
(b) Except as provided in Section 15.7, if during the Term the
Property is partially destroyed from a risk covered by the insurance described
in Article 14 but the Facility is not thereby rendered unsuitable for the
Primary Intended Use (taking into account all relevant factors, including but
not limited to Legal Requirements applicable to the Primary Intended Use, the
amount of square footage reasonably available for use by Tenant and the type and
amount of Tenant revenues lost), Tenant shall restore the Facility to
substantially the same condition as existed immediately before the damage or
destruction. Such damage or destruction shall not terminate this Lease;
provided, however, that if Tenant cannot, with reasonable diligence and within a
reasonable time, obtain all Governmental Approvals, including building permits,
licenses, conditional use permits and any certificates of need, necessary to
perform all required repair and restoration work and to operate the Facility in
substantially the same manner and for the Primary Intended Use, Tenant shall
either (i) offer to purchase the Property for a purchase price equal to the
greater of the Minimum Repurchase Price or the Fair Market Value Purchase Price
immediately prior to such damage or destruction or (ii) continue with the Lease
in full force and effect in which event Landlord shall be entitled to retain the
insurance proceeds, less the amount needed to restore the Property so that the
portion of the Facility unaffected by the casualty can be used as a complete
architectural unit. If Tenant shall make such offer to purchase the Property and
Landlord does not accept the same within 120 days of Landlord's receipt of such
offer, Tenant may withdraw such offer, in which case this Lease shall remain in
full force and effect and Tenant shall proceed to restore the Facility as soon
as reasonably practicable to substantially the same condition as existed
immediately before such damage or destruction. If Tenant so restores the
Facility, insurance proceeds shall be paid out by Landlord from time to time to
pay for the reasonable costs of such restoration, and any excess proceeds
remaining after such restoration shall be retained by Landlord.
(c) If Tenant elects to repair or restore any damage or
destruction to the Property and the cost of any such repair or restoration
exceeds the amount of proceeds received by Landlord from the insurance required
under Article 14, Tenant shall contribute any and all excess amounts necessary
to repair or restore the Facility. Tenant shall provide Landlord with a payment
or completion guaranty in form and substance and from a guarantor reasonably
acceptable to Landlord. If no acceptable guarantor is available, Tenant shall
pay Landlord the amount of such difference, which amount shall be held in trust,
together with any other insurance proceeds, for application to the cost of
repair and restoration as such repair and restoration progresses.
32
<PAGE> 36
(d) If Landlord accepts Tenant's offer to purchase the Property
this Lease shall terminate as to the entire Property upon payment of the
purchase price therefor and Landlord shall thereupon remit to Tenant all
insurance proceeds pertaining to the Property less Landlord's expenses,
including attorneys' fees, and assign Landlord's rights in any uncollected
insurance proceeds to Tenant.
15.3. RECONSTRUCTION IN THE EVENT OF DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION NOT COVERED
BY INSURANCE. Except as provided in Section 15.7 below, if during the Term the
Facility is totally destroyed or materially damaged (i) from a risk not covered
by insurance described in Article 14 but that would have been covered if Tenant
carried the insurance customarily maintained by, and generally available to, the
operators of reputable health care facilities in the region in which the
Facility is located, (ii) from a risk for which insurance coverage is voided due
to any act or omission by Tenant, or (iii) as result of storm, flood or an
earthquake, whether or not such damage or destruction renders the Facility
unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use (taking into account all relevant
factors, including but not limited to the Legal Requirements applicable to the
Primary Intended Use, amount of square footage reasonably available for use by
Tenant and the type and amount of Tenant revenues lost), Tenant shall restore
the Facility to substantially the same condition as existed immediately before
such damage or destruction and not terminate this Lease. Otherwise, if the
Facility is totally destroyed or materially damaged by a risk not covered by
insurance such that the Facility shall be unusable for its Primary Intended Use,
Tenant shall, within 90 days of such destruction or damage, elect either (i) to
restore the Property to the same condition as existed immediately prior to such
damage or destruction so that the Facility shall be suitable for its primary
intended use, in which event, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect
or (ii) to purchase the Property from Landlord for a purchase price equal to the
greater of the Minimum Repurchase Price or the Fair Market Value Purchase Price
immediately prior to such damage or destruction. If such uninsured damage or
destruction does not render the Property unusable for its Primary Intended Use,
Tenant shall restore the Facility to substantially the same condition as existed
immediately before the damage or destruction.
15.4. PAYMENT OF PROCEEDS ON TENANT'S PROPERTY AND CAPITAL ADDITIONS
PAID BY TENANT. Subject to Section 15.7, all insurance proceeds payable solely
by reason of any loss of or damage to any of Tenant's Personal Property or
Capital Additions fully paid for by Tenant in their entirety shall be paid to
Tenant and Tenant shall hold such insurance in trust to pay the cost of
repairing or replacing damaged Tenant's Personal Property or Capital Additions
fully paid for by Tenant in their entirety; provided, however, that if the
damaged Tenant's Personal Property or Capital Additions fully paid for by Tenant
in their entirety were no longer useful to Tenant's operations prior to their
destruction, Tenant shall not be obligated to repair or replace them.
15.5. RESTORATION OF TENANT'S PROPERTY. Upon any restoration of the
Facility as provided in Section 15.2 or 15.3, Tenant shall either (i) at
Tenant's sole cost and expense, restore all alterations and improvements made by
Tenant, Tenant's Personal Property and all Capital Additions fully paid for by
Tenant in their entirety, or (ii) at Tenant's sole cost and expense, replace
such alterations and improvements, Tenant's Personal Property or Capital
Additions fully paid for by Tenant in their entirety with improvements or items
of the same or better quality and utility in the operation of the Property.
15.6. NO ABATEMENT OF RENT. Unless and until Tenant shall pay the
purchase price for the Property to Landlord in accordance with this Article 15
(and the Lease thereby terminated) in the event of any damage or destruction of
the Property this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and Tenant's
obligation to make rental payments and to pay all other charges required by this
Lease shall not be abated by reason of any damage or destruction to the Property
or the subsequent loss of Landlord's entitlement to the Property.
33
<PAGE> 37
15.7. DAMAGE NEAR END OF TERM. Notwithstanding any provisions of 15.2,
15.3 or 15.4 to the contrary, if damage to or destruction of the Facility occurs
during the last 12 months of the then applicable term (whether Fixed or
Extended), if Tenant has not elected to extend such term, and if such damage or
destruction cannot be fully repaired and restored within six months immediately
following the date of loss, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this
Lease by giving written Notice thereof to Landlord within 30 days after the date
of such damage or destruction, in which event, Landlord shall collect any
insurance proceeds to which it is entitled, and Tenant shall assign to Landlord
Tenant's rights in all insurance proceeds to which Tenant is entitled as a
consequence of such damage or destruction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event that the Facility is totally destroyed or damaged during the last 12
months of the Term (i) from a risk not covered by insurance described in Article
14 but that would have been covered if Tenant carried the insurance customarily
maintained by, and generally available to, the operators of reputable health
care facilities in the region in which the Facility is located, (ii) from a risk
for which insurance coverage is voided due to any act or omission by Tenant, or
(iii) as result of an storm, flood or earthquake, whether or not such damage or
destruction renders the Facility unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use (taking
into account all relevant factors, including but not limited to Legal
Requirements applicable to the Primary Intended Use, the amount of square
footage reasonably available for use by Tenant and the type and amount of Tenant
revenues lost), then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a sum equal to the amount
reasonably necessary to repair such damage or destruction; provided, however,
Tenant can in lieu thereof purchase the Property from Landlord in accordance
with the Call Option with the Fair Market Value Purchase Price determined as of
the day immediately prior to the date of any damage or destruction.
15.8. TERMINATION OF OPTIONS. Any termination of this Lease pursuant to
this Article or otherwise shall cause the option granted to Tenant to extend the
Term by any Extended Term to be terminated and to be without further force or
effect.
15.9. WAIVER. Tenant hereby waives any rights at law, in equity and any
statutory rights of termination which may arise by reason of any damage or
destruction of the Facility which Landlord is obligated to restore or may
restore under any of the provisions of this Lease.
16. CONDEMNATION
------------
16.1. DEFINITIONS.
(A) "CONDEMNATION" means (a) the exercise of any governmental
power, whether by legal proceedings or otherwise, by a Condemnor, or (b) a
voluntary sale or transfer by Landlord with Tenant's consent (provided no Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time) to any Condemnor, either
under threat of condemnation or while legal proceedings for condemnation are
pending.
(B) "DATE OF TAKING" means the first date the Condemnor has the
right to immediate possession of the property being condemned.
(C) "AWARD" means all compensation, sums and any other value
awarded, paid or received on a total or partial condemnation.
(D) "CONDEMNOR" means any public or quasipublic authority, or
private corporation or individual, having the power of condemnation.
34
<PAGE> 38
16.2. PARTIES' RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS. If during the Term there is any
Taking of all or any part of the Property or of any interest in this Lease by
Condemnation, the rights and obligations of the parties shall be determined by
this Article.
16.3. TOTAL OR PARTIAL TAKING. A Taking of all or part of the Property
shall not affect the validity of this Lease or Tenant's obligations to pay Rent
hereunder. Even if the whole of the Property shall be taken or condemned by any
Condemnor, Tenant's obligation to pay Rent pursuant to this Lease shall not
cease or terminate; provided, however, that if the entire Property is taken or
condemned, or if the portion of the Property taken or condemned renders the
Property unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use (taking into account all
relevant factors, including but not limited to Legal Requirements applicable to
the Primary Intended Use, the amount of square footage reasonably available for
use by Tenant, and the type and the amount of Tenant revenues lost) and Landlord
shall receive an Award which is equal to or greater than the greater of the
Minimum Repurchase Price or the Fair Market Value of the Property (or Tenant
shall pay to Landlord the difference between the actual Award received by
Landlord and such amount) Landlord shall terminate this Lease and Tenant's
obligation to pay Rent hereunder shall, upon such termination, be abated.
16.4. ALLOCATION OF PORTION OF AWARD. Subject to the rights of any
Facility Mortgagee, the total Condemnation Award made with respect to all or any
portion of the Property shall be distributed to Landlord and Tenant ratably in
accordance with the value of their respective interests in and to such Award as
hereafter set forth in this Section 16.4. All of the Award shall be the sole and
exclusive property of Landlord and shall be payable to Landlord, subject to the
rights of any Facility Mortgagee; provided that, subject to the rights of any
Facility Mortgagee, any portion of such Condemnation Award which is expressly
allocated by the Condemnor to the taking of any Capital Additions fully paid for
by Tenant in their entirety, any loss of business by Tenant during the remaining
Term of this Lease, the taking of Tenant's Personal Property, or any removal and
relocation expenses of Tenant in any such proceedings shall be the sole property
of and payable to Tenant; provided, further, that if the Lease is terminated
pursuant to Section 16.3, Tenant shall have no right to any portion of such
Condemnation Award regardless of how such Award is allocated by the court or
other tribunal. In any Condemnation proceedings Landlord and Tenant each shall
seek their own Award in conformity herewith, at their own expense.
16.5. PARTIAL TAKING; CONTINUED USE. If title to the fee of less than
the whole of the Property shall be taken or condemned so that the Property is
not rendered unsuitable for their Primary Intended Use, Tenant at its own cost
and expense shall with all reasonable diligence restore the untaken portion of
the Property so that the Property and the Building shall constitute a complete
architectural unit of the same general character and condition (as nearly as may
be possible under the circumstances) as existing immediately prior to such
Condemnation or Taking. In such event, Landlord and Tenant shall each contribute
to the cost of restoration that part of their Award specifically allocated to
such restoration, if any (or if no such specific allocation is made, an
allocation as is agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant or, if Landlord and Tenant
are unable to agree within 30 days of the Award, by arbitration in accordance
with Section 29.14 with such arbitration to require each party to contribute a
portion of the Award received by such party as will fairly reflect the economic
benefit to each party of the restoration of the Property), together with any and
all severance and other damages awarded for any taken portion of the Building;
provided, however, the amount of such contribution shall not exceed such cost.
If such amounts are not sufficient to cover the cost of restoration Landlord and
Tenant shall contribute any additional amounts needed for restoration in
proportion to the amounts already contributed by them, provided that in no event
shall Landlord have any obligation to contribute an amount to such restoration
in excess of its Award. Thereafter, any excess restoration cost shall be borne
solely by Tenant.
35
<PAGE> 39
16.6. TEMPORARY TAKING. If the whole or any part of the Property or of
Tenant's interest under this Lease shall be taken or condemned by any Condemnor
for its temporary use or occupancy, this Lease shall not terminate, and Tenant
shall continue to pay, in the manner and at the times herein specified, the full
amounts of Base Rent and Additional Charges. Except to the extent Tenant may be
prevented from so doing pursuant to the terms of the order of the Condemnor,
Tenant shall continue to perform and observe all of the other terms, covenants,
conditions and obligations hereof on the part of the Tenant to be performed and
observed as though such Taking or Condemnation had not occurred. Upon any such
Taking or Condemnation described in this Section, the entire amount of any such
Award made for such Taking or Condemnation allocable to the Term of this Lease,
whether paid by way of damages, Rent or otherwise, shall be paid to Tenant.
Tenant covenants that upon the termination of any such period of temporary use
or occupancy as set forth in this Section Tenant will, at its sole cost and
expense (subject to any contribution by Landlord as set forth in Section 16.5),
restore the Property as nearly as may be reasonably possible to the condition in
which the same was immediately prior to such Taking or Condemnation, unless such
period of temporary use or occupancy shall extend beyond the expiration of the
Term, in which case Tenant shall not be required to make such restoration.
17. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

be deemed an "Event of Default" hereunder:

Lease as and when the same becomes due and payable;

respect, and such failure is not cured by Tenant within a period of 30 days
after Notice thereof from Landlord, unless such failure cannot with due
diligence be cured within a period of 30 days, in which case such failure shall

diligence to cure the failure and thereafter diligently completes the curing
thereof within 90 days of Tenant's receipt of the initial Notice describing such
failure;
(c) Tenant or Guarantor shall (i) admit in writing its inability

36
<PAGE> 40
(e) Tenant or Guarantor shall be liquidated or dissolved, or

manner, permit the sale or divestiture of substantially all of its assets or
shall become a party to a merger or consolidation of Tenant into, or a sale of
substantially all of Tenant's assets to, another corporation, provided that such
a merger, consolidation or asset sale shall not constitute an Event of Default
under this Section 17.1(e) if (i) the survivor of such merger or the purchaser
of such assets shall assume all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease by a
written instrument, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord,
accompanied by an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and
addressed to Landlord stating that such instrument of assumption is valid,
binding and enforceable against the parties thereto in accordance with its terms
(subject to usual bankruptcy and other creditors' rights exceptions), and (ii)
immediately after giving effect to any such merger, consolidation or sale,
Tenant or the other corporation (if not Tenant) surviving the same, shall have a

Certificate and delivered to Landlord within a reasonable period of time after
such merger, consolidation or sale;
(f) the estate or interest of Tenant in the Property or any part
thereof shall be levied upon or attached in any proceeding (excluding a
foreclosure under the Leasehold Mortgage in which Balanced Care or its
wholly-owned subsidiary succeeds to Tenant's interest under this Lease) and the
same shall not be vacated or discharged within the later of 60 days after
commencement thereof or 30 days after Notice thereof from Landlord (unless
Tenant shall be contesting such lien or attachment in good faith in accordance
with Article 13 hereof);
(g) except as a result of damage, destruction or a partial,
temporary or complete Condemnation, Tenant voluntarily ceases operations on the
Property for a period in excess of 30 days;
(h) Tenant or Guarantor shall continue in default of any
obligation for borrowed funds owed to any Person beyond the expiration of any
grace or cure period which may exist with respect to any such default; or
(i) a breach or default on the part of Tenant, Guarantor,
Balanced Care or any one or more of the Affiliates of any one or more of the
foregoing (including without limitation Manager or Developer) shall have

Transaction Documents which may relate to facilities or properties which are not
the subject of this Lease).
Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord of the occurrence of any event set
forth in subsections 17.1 (b) through (i) and the failure to do so shall
constitute an immediate Event of Default.
17.2. CERTAIN REMEDIES. Upon any Event of Default, Landlord shall have
all legal, equitable and contractual rights, powers and remedies provided either
in this Lease or by statute or otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, if an
Event of Default occurs, is not cured within the period provided in Section 17.1
for any such cure, if any, and is continuing, whether or not this Lease has been
terminated pursuant to Section 17.1, Tenant shall, to the extent permitted by
law and if required by Landlord so to do, immediately surrender to Landlord the
Property and quit the same. To the extent permitted by law, Landlord may enter
upon and repossess the Property by reasonable force, summary proceedings,
ejectment or otherwise, and may remove Tenant and all other persons and any and
all personal property from the Property subject to rights of any residents or
patients and to any requirement of law.
17.3. DAMAGES.
37
<PAGE> 41
(a) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Landlord shall
have the right either (i) to terminate this Lease and Tenant's right to
possession of the Property by any lawful means, upon Notice of such termination,
in which case, this Lease shall terminate and all of Tenant's rights hereunder
cease and Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the Property to
Landlord and, in such event, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant
all damages incurred by reason of Tenant's default, or (ii) to maintain Tenant's
right to possession of the Property in which case this Lease shall continue in
effect regardless of whether Tenant shall have abandoned or attempted to
surrender the Property and, in such event, Landlord shall have the right to
enforce all of Landlord's rights and remedies under this Lease, including the
right to recover the Rent and other sums owed as such become due hereunder
together with interest on such overdue Rent and any other overdue amount owed by
Tenant, from the date when due until paid, at the lesser of the Overdue Rate or
the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. Furthermore, Landlord shall also
have all rights at law and in equity available to Landlord as a result of
Tenant's breach of this Lease. If any litigation is commenced with respect to
any alleged default under this Lease, the prevailing party in such litigation
shall receive, in addition to its damages incurred, its reasonable attorneys'
fees, and all costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith, including
costs of litigation preparation, computerized research, staff costs, telephone
and telefax expenses, mileage, depositions, postage, photocopies, process
services, video tapes and other costs which may be incurred by or for counsel.
Neither the termination of this Lease pursuant to this Section 17.3, the
repossession of the Property, the failure of Landlord, notwithstanding
reasonable good faith efforts, to relet the Property, nor the reletting of all
or any portion of the Property, shall relieve Tenant of its liability and
obligations hereunder, all of which shall survive any such termination,
repossession or reletting. Upon any such termination, Tenant shall forthwith pay
to Landlord all Rent due and payable with respect to the Property to and
including the date of such termination. Thereafter Tenant shall promptly pay to
Landlord the full amount of Landlord's damages suffered by reason of Tenant's
breach of this Lease, which damages shall include, but may not be limited to the
sum of:
(i) the worth at the time of the award, of the unpaid Rent earned
at the time of such termination, repossession or reletting;
(ii) the worth at the time of the 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 Tenant proves could have been
reasonably avoided;
(iii) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which
the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the time of the award exceeds
the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided;
and
(iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for the
costs incurred in regaining possession and reletting the Property, including but
not limited to brokerage fees and commissions, construction costs, rent
concessions, costs of decoration, repair, cleaning and/or alteration of the
Property or any portion thereof and all legal costs and expenses.
(b) The "worth at the time of the award" of the amounts referred
to in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above shall be computed by allowing interest at
the Overdue Rate. The "worth at the time of the award" of the amount referred to
in subparagraph (iii) shall be determined by a Court having jurisdiction thereof
using the lowest rate of capitalization (highest present worth) reasonably
applicable at the time of such determination and allowed by applicable law.
38
<PAGE> 42
17.4. APPLICATION OF FUNDS. Any payments normally made to Tenant
hereunder which are made to and received by Landlord under any of the provisions
of this Lease during the continuance of any Event of Default shall be applied to
Tenant's obligations in the order which Landlord may determine or as may be
prescribed by applicable laws.
17.5. LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO CURE TENANT'S DEFAULT. If an Event of Default
occurs under this Lease and is not cured within the time provided under this
Lease with respect to such Event of Default, Landlord, without waiving or
releasing any obligation of Tenant, and without waiving any such Event of
Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) at any time thereafter cure
such default for the account and at the expense of Tenant, and may, to the
extent permitted by law, enter upon the Property for such purpose and take all
such action thereon as, in Landlord's sole judgment, may be necessary or
appropriate with respect thereto. No such entry by Landlord on the Property
shall be deemed an eviction of Tenant. All sums so paid by Landlord and all
costs and expenses (including, with out limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees
and expenses, in each case to the extent permitted by law) so incurred, 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 Landlord
until paid, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on demand. The obligations of
Tenant and rights of Landlord contained in this Article shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
17.6. WAIVER. If this Lease is terminated pursuant to the provisions of
this Article, Tenant waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) any
right of redemption, reentry or repossession, (b) any right to trial by jury in
the event of summary proceedings to enforce the remedies set forth in this
Article, and (c) the benefit of any laws now or hereafter enforced exempting
property from liability for rent or for debt.
18. CURE BY TENANT OF LANDLORD DEFAULTS
-----------------------------------
18.1. LANDLORD DEFAULT. Landlord shall be in default of its obligations
under this Lease if Landlord 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 notice thereof from Tenant unless such
failure cannot be cured with due diligence within a period of 30 days, in which
case such failure shall not be deemed to continue if Landlord, within said 30
days, promptly commences its attempt to cure the failure and diligently attempts
to complete the curing thereof. The time within Landlord shall be obligated to
cure any such failure shall also be subject to extension of time due to the
occurrence of any Unavoidable Delay. If Landlord fails to commence such cure as
provided herein, Tenant may cure such default, and so long as Tenant continues
to pay Rent, Tenant shall have the right (subject to Section 6.1), as Tenant's
sole remedy, by separate and independent action to pursue any claim it may have
against Landlord for monetary damages caused by Landlord's failure to cure such
default.
18.2. MORTGAGEE CURE. Should Landlord fail to observe or perform any of
the covenants or conditions contained in this Lease, before taking any action,
Tenant shall give written notice to all mortgagees of Facility Mortgages or
beneficiaries under other deeds of trust or encumbrances recorded against the
Land or the Property setting forth the nature of Landlord's default. Such
lenders shall have a reasonable period of time to cure the default. All payments
made, and all acts performed by such lenders in order to cure shall be effective
to prevent a forfeiture of the rights of Landlord under this Lease and a
termination of this Lease as if the payments and acts were performed by Landlord
instead of by the lenders. If such lenders cannot reasonably take the action
required to cure Landlord's default without foreclosing Landlord's interest, the
time within which the default must be cured to avoid a termination or forfeiture
of
39
<PAGE> 43
the Lease shall be extended to include the period of time required for such
lenders to obtain possession and to effect a cure with due diligence if such
lender gives Tenant a written agreement to cure the default. In the absence of
such lenders' express written consent, such an agreement by the lenders shall
not be considered an assumption by the lenders of Landlord's other obligations
under the Lease and Landlord shall remain solely liable for the performance of
all terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease both prior and subsequent to
the lenders' exercise of any right to cure or related remedy.
19. PURCHASE OF PROPERTY BY TENANT
------------------------------
19.1. PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY. If Tenant purchases the Property from
Landlord pursuant to the provisions of Article 15 or Article 16, Landlord shall,
except as otherwise expressly provided, upon receipt from Tenant 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 such
purchase, deliver to Tenant a special warranty deed conveying the entire
interest of Landlord in and to the Property to Tenant free and clear of all
mortgages and encumbrances other than (a) those mortgages which Tenant has
agreed in writing to accept and to take title subject to and (b) any other
encumbrances existing on or created after the Commencement Date which are
permitted hereby to be imposed on the Property excluding only liens created by
Landlord to secure Landlord's payment of borrowed funds. The purchase price
shall be paid in cash to Landlord or as Landlord may direct, in federal or other
immediately available funds, unless otherwise mutually agreed by Landlord and
Tenant. Any such purchase shall be on an "as-is" basis with Tenant purchasing
the Property subject to all faults or defects whether known, unknown, latent,
patent or otherwise. All expenses of conveying the Property to Tenant,
including, without limitation, the cost of title insurance and attorneys' fees
incurred by Landlord in connection with such conveyance and release, and
documentary transfer and similar taxes, shall be paid by Tenant. Recording fees
and expenses of its counsel shall also be paid by Tenant.
19.2. FAILURE TO CLOSE PURCHASE. The closing of any such sale to Tenant
shall be contingent upon and subject to Tenant obtaining all required
governmental consents and approvals for such transfer. If such sale shall fail
to be consummated by reason of the inability of Tenant to obtain all such
approvals and consents, then this Lease shall remain in effect until the sooner
to occur of the end of the Term or the consummation of the purchase.
20. HOLDING OVER
------------
If Tenant for any reason remains in possession of any portion of the
Property after the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of the Term,
such possession shall be a month-to-month tenancy during which time Tenant shall
pay to Landlord as rental each month one and one half (11/2) times the aggregate
of (i) one-twelfth of the Base Rent then payable with respect to the last Lease
year of the Term just expired, (ii) all Additional Charges accruing during the
month with respect to which such payment relates, and (iii) all other sums, if
any, payable by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Lease with respect to
the Property. During such period of month-to-month tenancy, Tenant 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 mandated by law applicable to month-to-month tenancies, to continue its
occupancy and use of the Property. Nothing contained herein shall constitute the
consent, express or implied, of Landlord to the holding over of Tenant after the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
40
<PAGE> 44
21. RISK OF LOSS
------------
During the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall bear all risk of loss or of
decrease in the enjoyment and beneficial use of the Property resulting from the
damage or destruction thereof by fire, the elements, casualties, thefts, riots,
wars or any other cause, or resulting from foreclosures, attachments, levies,
evictions or executions and, in the absence of the gross negligence, willful
misconduct or willful breach of this Lease by Landlord, Landlord shall in no
event be responsible therefor nor shall any of the events mentioned in this
Section (nor any other event or circumstance) entitle Tenant to any abatement or
setoff of Rent.
22. LIABILITY OF PARTIES
--------------------
22.1. INDEMNIFICATION BY TENANT. Notwithstanding the existence of any
insurance provided for in Article 14, and notwithstanding the policy limits of
any such insurance Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect, save and hold
Landlord harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, obligations,
claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses (including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) imposed upon,
incurred by or asserted against Landlord arising out of, connected with or
incidental to:
(a) any Hazardous Substance located in, on or under the Property,
the Land or the Building due to the act or omission of Tenant, or otherwise,
during or prior to the Term hereof, including any improvements, repairs,
handling, removal or other actions taken by Landlord or Tenant in order to
comply with all Legal Requirements, rules and regulations promulgated by any
applicable federal, state, or local government rule and regulation with respect
to any such Hazardous Substance or related problems of which Landlord becomes
aware;
(b) any accident, injury to or death of persons, or loss of or
damage to property, occurring on or about the Property including without
limitation any claims of malpractice; or any such event occurring on or about
adjoining sidewalks, parking areas, service delivery facilities, alleys,
walkways or roadways;
(c) any past, present or future use, misuse, nonuse, condition,
management, maintenance or repair, by Tenant or any subtenant or other occupant
of the Property or their respective contractors, licensees, invitees, agents,
servants or employees, of the Property or Tenant's Personal Property (or any
subtenant's personal property), wheresoever the same may occur and any
litigation, proceeding or claim by governmental entities or other third parties
to which Landlord is made a party or other participant related to the Property
or Tenant's Personal Property or to any subtenant or other occupant of the
Property or its personal property or such use, misuse, nonuse, condition,
management, maintenance or repair thereof, including but not limited to any
failure to perform obligations (other than condemnation proceedings) to which
Landlord is made a party;
(d) any Imposition;
(e) any failure on the part of Tenant to perform or comply with
any of the terms of this Lease; and
(f) the nonperformance of any of the terms and provisions of any
and all existing and future subleases of the Property to be performed by Tenant
thereunder.
41
<PAGE> 45
Any amounts payable by Tenant under this Section shall be paid within ten days
after Landlord's demand therefor. If such amounts are not timely paid, they
shall bear a late charge at the Overdue Rate from the date of such determination
to the date paid. Tenant, at its expense, shall contest, resist and defend any
such claim, action or proceeding asserted or instituted against Landlord, or
may, with Landlord's prior written consent, compromise or otherwise dispose of
the same as Tenant sees fit. Nothing herein shall be construed as indemnifying
Landlord against its own sole gross negligence or willful misconduct. 22.2.
INDEMNIFICATION BY LANDLORD. Landlord shall indemnify, defend, save and hold
Tenant harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, claims,
damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) imposed upon, incurred by
or asserted against Tenant arising out of, connected with or incidental to the
sole gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord; provided, however, that
Tenant's right to indemnification as provided herein, shall be subject to the
limitation set forth in Article 27.
22.3. CONTINUING LIABILITY. Tenant's and Landlord's liability for a
breach of the provisions of this Article arising during the Term hereof shall
survive any termination of this Lease.
23. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
-------------------------
23.1. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. Subject to the provisions of Section
23.3 below and any other express conditions or limitations set forth in this
Lease, Tenant may (a) upon ten (10) days prior Notice to Landlord, but without
the consent of Landlord, sublet less than an aggregate of 10% of the net useable
square footage of each Facility to concessionaires or other third party users or
operators of portions of the Property, provided that any such subletting shall
not individually as to any one such subletting, or in the aggregate, materially
diminish the actual or potential gross revenues generated from the Facility in
which the subletting is proposed to occur and (b) admit residents to the
Facility for occupancy of units therein. Except as otherwise permitted in the
immediately preceding sentence, no assignment or subletting of all or any
portion of the Property shall be permitted or be effective unless the consent of
Landlord is first obtained in writing, which consent Landlord may withhold in
its sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that (subject to the
restrictions against Landlord consenting to any assignment of the Lease as set
forth in the Working Capital Assurances Agreement and in any other Transaction
Document) Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any subletting
or assignment if the assignee or sublessee is credit-worthy and reputable in the
opinion of Landlord and (u) such subtenant or assignee shall pay to Landlord in
cash an amount equal to two month's rent to be held by Landlord as a security
deposit for the faithful performance by such subtenant or assignee of the
provisions of this Lease, (v) the Net Worth of Tenant at the time of such
sublease or assignment shall be equal to or greater than the Net Worth of Tenant
as of the date this Lease is signed, (w) in the case of a subletting, the
sublease shall comply with the provisions of Section 23.2 and is otherwise in
form and substance acceptable to Landlord, (x) in the case of an assignment, the
assignee assumes in writing and agrees to keep and perform all of the terms of
this Lease on the part of Tenant to be kept and performed and becomes jointly
and severally liable with Tenant for the performance thereof, (y) an original
counterpart of each such sublease and assignment and assumption, duly executed
by Tenant and such sublessee or assignee, as the case may be, in form and
substance satisfactory to Landlord, is delivered promptly to Landlord, and (z)
in case of either an assignment or subletting, Tenant remains primarily liable,
as principal rather than as surety, for the prompt payment of Rent and for the
42
<PAGE> 46
performance and observance of all covenants and agreements to be performed by
Tenant hereunder. Tenant shall not, without Landlord's approval which Landlord
may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion, permit any change in ownership
or beneficial interest amounting to 50% (in the aggregate of all such transfers
occurring on or after the Commencement Date) of Tenant's voting interests or
assets to occur and any change in the ownership of 50% or more of the
membership, voting interests or assets of Tenant, from and after the
Commencement Date shall constitute an assignment of this Lease which shall
require Landlord's prior written consent as hereinabove provided.
Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary (i) the purchase by Balanced Care
(or, if Balanced Care delivers to Landlord a guaranty in form and substance
acceptable to Landlord, its wholly-owned subsidiary) of the outstanding
interests in Tenant under the terms of the Option Agreement, (ii) the grant by
Tenant of a leasehold mortgage to Balanced Care as contemplated in the
Shortfall Funding Agreement, or (iii) the assignment of this Lease to Balanced
Care (or, if Balanced Care delivers to Landlord a guaranty in form and
substance acceptable to Landlord, its wholly-owned subsidiary) pursuant to the
exercise by Balanced Care of the Asset Purchase Option set forth in the
Shortfall Funding Agreement shall not constitute an assignment for purposes of
this Section 23.1 so long as (x) assignee assumes in writing and agrees to keep
and perform all of the terms of this Lease on the part of Tenant to be kept and
performed and becomes jointly and severally liable with Tenant for the
performance thereof, (y) an original counterpart of each such assignment and
assumption, duly executed by Tenant and the assignee, in form and substance
satisfactory to Landlord, is delivered promptly to Landlord, and (z) in case of
either an assignment or subletting, Tenant remains primarily liable, as
principal rather than as surety, for the prompt payment of Rent and for the
performance and observance of all covenants and agreements to be performed by
Tenant hereunder.
23.2. ATTORNMENT. Tenant shall insert in each sublease permitted under
Section 23.1 provisions satisfactory to Landlord which provide for the benefit
of Landlord that (a) such sublease is subject and subordinate to all of the
terms and provisions of this Lease (b) in the event this Lease terminates before
the expiration of such sublease, the sublessee thereunder will, at Landlord's
option, attorn to Landlord and waive any right the sublessee may have to
terminate the sublease or surrender possession under such sublease, and (c) in
the event the sublessee receives a written Notice from Landlord or Landlord's
assignees, if any, stating that Tenant 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
otherwise direct. All rentals received from the sublessee by Landlord or
Landlord's assignees, if any, as the case may be, shall be credited against the
amounts owed to Landlord under this Lease.
23.3. SUBLEASE LIMITATION. Anything contained in this Lease to the
contrary notwithstanding, Tenant shall not sublet the Property on any basis such
that the rental to be paid by the sublessee thereunder would be based, in whole
or in part, on either (a) the income or profits derived by the business
activities of the sublessee, or (b) any other formula such that any portion of
the sublease rental would 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.
24. INFORMATION FROM TENANT
-----------------------
24.1. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. At any time and from time to time, upon
not less than 20 days Notice by Landlord, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord an
Estoppel 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), the date to which the Rent has been paid,
whether there exists any Event of Default or any situation which, with the
giving of notice, passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default
hereunder, whether Tenant
43
<PAGE> 47
contends that Landlord is in default hereunder, and if Tenant so contends, the
basis for such contention, the date upon which the Term terminates, and such
other information as Landlord reasonably may request. The failure by Tenant to
deliver such Estoppel Certificate to Landlord within twenty days of Landlord's
request therefor shall constitute an immediate Event of Default hereunder and
shall be conclusively deemed to be Tenant's certification (i) that this Lease is
in full force and effect, without modification except as represented by
Landlord; (ii) that there are no uncured defaults in Landlords performance
hereunder, and (iii) that not more than one month's rent has been paid in
advance. Any such certificate furnished pursuant to this Section 24.1 may be
relied upon by Landlord, any prospective purchaser of the Property, and any
Facility Mortgagee or Landlord Lender.
24.2. LANDLORD ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. At any time and from time to
time, upon not less than 20 days Notice by Tenant, Landlord shall furnish to
Tenant an Estoppel 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), the date to which the Rent has
been paid, whether to the knowledge of Landlord, there exists any Event of
Default or any situation which, with the giving of notice, passage of time, or
both, would constitute an Event of Default hereunder, whether Landlord contends
that Tenant is in default hereunder, and if Landlord so contends, the basis for
such contention. Any such certificate furnished pursuant to this Section 24.2
may be relied upon by Tenant or lender to Tenant.
24.3. FINANCIAL INFORMATION. Tenant shall furnish and cause Guarantor
to furnish within the time periods specified below, the following statements to
Landlord:
(a) within 90 days after the end of each Fiscal Year, an
Officer's Certificate stating that, after making due inquiry, Tenant is not in
default in the performance or observance of any of the terms or conditions of
this Lease, or if Tenant shall be in default to its knowledge, specifying all
such defaults, the nature thereof and the steps being taken to remedy them; and
(b) with reasonable promptness, such other information respecting
the financial condition and affairs of Tenant, Manager or Balanced Care as
Landlord may reasonably request from time to time; and
(c) the most recent quarterly Financial Statements of Tenant with
an Officer's Certificate of Tenant stating that such Financial Statements are
true, accurate and complete and fairly reflect the financial condition of Tenant
as of the end of the Fiscal Year quarter just ended, within 45 days after the
last day of each Fiscal Year quarter.
24.4. LICENSING INFORMATION. Tenant shall promptly furnish to Landlord
complete copies of all surveys, examinations, inspections, compliance
certificates and similar reports of any kind issued to Tenant by any
governmental agencies or authorities having jurisdiction over the licensing of
the operation of the Property or Facility, if any, which are material to the
Property or the Facility, their ownership or operation.

25. APPRAISALS OF THE PROPERTY AND LANDLORD OPTIONS
-----------------------------------------------
25.1. APPRAISERS. If at any time it becomes necessary to determine the
Fair Market Rental or Fair Market Value of the Property for any purpose under
this Lease, and the parties are unable to agree thereupon within thirty days of
the date on which Tenant or Landlord (as the case may be) first receives Notice
that such determination is necessary, the determination of the Fair Market
Rental or Fair Market Value of the Property shall be submitted for decision to a
panel of three arbitrators in accordance with this Section 25.1. Within ten
business days after the expiration of the foregoing thirty day period, Landlord
and Tenant shall each appoint one arbitrator, each of which shall be a member of
the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers (or any successor organization
thereto). Concurrently with the appointment of the arbitrators, Tenant and
Landlord shall submit their proposed dollar amounts, as determined by each such
party, of the Fair Market Rental or Fair Market Value of the Property. The two
arbitrators appointed in accordance with this Section 25.1 shall, within fifteen
days of the date of the appointment of the last appointed arbitrator, agree upon
and appoint a third arbitrator who shall be qualified under the same criteria
set forth above for the qualification of the initial two arbitrators. Failing
such appointment, either Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to petition for
the appointment of the third arbitrator by the presiding Judge of the Superior
Court of the County in which the Property is located. The three arbitrators
shall, within thirty days of the appointment of the third arbitrator, reach a
decision as to whether Landlord's or Tenant's proposed dollar amount for the
Fair Market Rental or Fair Market Value of the Property is closer to the actual
dollar amount for such figure and the arbitrators' determination shall be
limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord's or Tenant's proposed Fair
Market Rental or Fair Market Value of the Property is closer to the actual
dollar amount for such figure. The parties shall adopt the figure determined by
the majority of the arbitrators to be closer to the actual figure as the Fair
Market Rental or Fair Market Value of the Property and the decision of the
majority of the three arbitrators in this regard shall be final and binding upon
Landlord and Tenant. The cost of Landlord's appointed arbitrator shall be paid
for by Landlord, the cost of Tenant's arbitrator shall be paid for by Tenant and
the cost of the third arbitrator shall be paid by Landlord and Tenant equally.
25.2. TIMING OF APPRAISAL. The arbitration procedure outlined in
Section 25.2 above shall be completed within thirty days of the appointment of
the third arbitrator and shall be binding upon Tenant and Landlord.
25.3. LANDLORD'S OPTION TO PURCHASE TENANT'S PERSONAL PROPERTY.
Effective upon not less than 90 days' prior Notice given at any time within 180
days prior to the expiration of the Term of this Lease, or upon such shorter
Notice as shall be reasonable if this Lease is terminated prior to its
expiration date, Landlord shall have the option to purchase all (but not less
than all) of Tenant's Personal Property, if any, at the expiration or
termination of this Lease, for an amount equal to the then net market value
thereof (as determined by an appraisal conducted pursuant to the procedure
detailed in Section 25.1) subject to, and with appropriate price adjustments
for, all equipment leases, conditional sale contracts, UCC financing statements
and other encumbrances to which Tenant's Personal Property is then subject.
25.4. TENANT'S OPTION TO PURCHASE ALL PROPERTIES. Provided no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the
option (the "Call Option"), exercisable on not less than six months' nor more
than 18 months' Notice, to purchase on the Option Purchase Date all property
leased by Landlord or its Affiliates in accordance with the Facility Agreement
to either (x) any wholly-owned subsidiary of Guarantor or (y) any Person
previously wholly-owned by Guarantor for a purchase price (determined on a
property-by-
45
<PAGE> 49
property basis) equal to the greater of the Fair Market Value Purchase Price of
each such property as of the Option Purchase Date or the Minimum Repurchase
Price. Tenant's timely and proper exercise of the Call Option shall constitute
Tenant's irrevocable agreement and commitment to purchase the Property from
Landlord for the price and on the terms and conditions stated in this Section.
If Tenant shall timely and properly exercise the Call Option, the sale of the
properties shall be consummated through an escrow (the "Escrow") to be opened
with a title or escrow company mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant (the
"Escrow Holder"). The purchase price for the properties (net solely of the
principal balance of any Facility Mortgages placed on a Property by Landlord and
expressly assumed by Tenant) shall be deposited into Escrow in immediately
available federal funds at least two business days prior to the close of Escrow
and shall be paid to Landlord at the close of Escrow in immediately available
federal funds. The close of Escrow shall occur as of the Purchase Option Date.
Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it shall purchase all such property from
Landlord "AS IS" and subject to all faults, all defects in title and all other
matters whatsoever, including without limitation all matters of record. Landlord
shall be conclusively deemed not to have made any warranty or representation
regarding the title, condition or other status of the properties but Landlord
covenants to remove Facility Mortgages against the properties to be conveyed
under the Call Option solely to the extent that such Facility Mortgage both (a)
was in excess of the amount permitted under Article 26 at the time it was placed
against title to such property and (b) has a principal balance in excess of the
purchase price to be paid for all properties subject to the Call Option pursuant
to this Section 25.4. Landlord shall pay at closing any lien encumbering the
Land or the Building which secures either (x) any income tax liability of
Landlord or (y) a liability of Landlord unrelated to any of the Property, the
Rent, the Facility or the use, occupancy or operation of the Property. All
closing costs associated with the sale of the properties to Tenant pursuant to
this Section shall be paid by Tenant.
25.5. NATURE OF OPTIONS. All options granted to Tenant under this
Lease, including any option to extend the Term of this Lease are strictly
personal to Tenant and may not be assigned by Tenant. Without limitation on the
foregoing, the assignment by Tenant of its rights under this Lease, whether with
or without the consent of Landlord shall, at Landlord's option, render all
options of Tenant to extend the Term and any option to purchase the Property
(other than pursuant to Article 15 and Article 16) null and void.
26. FACILITY MORTGAGES
------------------
Without the consent of Tenant, Landlord may, subject to the terms and
conditions set forth below in this Section, from time to time, directly or
indirectly, create or otherwise cause to exist any lien, encumbrance or title
retention agreement ("Encumbrance") upon the Property, or any portion thereof or
interest therein, whether to secure any borrowing or other means of financing or
refinancing provided that the principal amount of such borrowing, financing or
refinancing does not exceed 80% of the then Fair Market Value of the Property.
Any such Encumbrance shall contain the right to prepay (whether or not subject
to a prepayment penalty). Tenant agrees that it will subordinate this Lease to
any mortgage or deed of trust that may hereafter from time to time be recorded
on the Property, and to any and all advances made or to be made thereunder, and
to renewals, replacements and extensions thereof. Tenant's failure to deliver
any reasonable written subordination document requested by Landlord in
accordance with the preceding sentence within five Business Days of Landlord's
demand therefor shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder. Any such
subordination, however, shall be subject to the condition precedent that the
mortgagee under such mortgage or the beneficiary under such deed of trust enter
into a written nondisturbance and attornment agreement with Tenant, in form and
46
<PAGE> 50
content satisfactory to Tenant, whereunder it is agreed that in the event of a
sale or foreclosure under such mortgage or deed of trust, the purchaser of the
Property (including the mortgagee or beneficiary under such mortgage or deed of
trust), shall acquire or hold the Property subject to this Lease so long as
Tenant is not in default hereunder. Tenant hereby agrees to recognize such
purchaser as the landlord under this Lease and agrees to attorn to such
purchaser and, if instructed to do so by such purchaser, to make rental payments
directly to it. Such subordination agreement may also include an acknowledgment
by Tenant that any purported cancellation of this Lease, reduction in its
effective rate of rent, shortening of its term or extension of its term at a
reduced effective rate of rent, shall not be binding upon any encumbrancer or
any other person, firm or corporation, acquiring the Property, at any sale or
other proceedings, or pursuant to the exercise of any rights, powers or remedies
under any Encumbrance, without said encumbrancer's prior written consent.
27. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
-----------------------
Tenant specifically agrees that no officer, shareholder, employee or
agent of Landlord or American Health Properties, Inc., a Delaware corporation or
of any of its Affiliates, shall be held to any personal liability, jointly or
severally, for any obligation of, or claims against Landlord, Tenant agreeing to
look solely to Landlord's equity interest in the Property for recovery of any
judgment from Landlord, American Health Properties, Inc., a Delaware corporation
or the Affiliates of either. The provisions contained in the foregoing sentence
are not intended to, and shall not, limit any right that Tenant might otherwise
have to obtain injunctive relief against Landlord or Landlord's successors in
interest, or any action not involving the personal liability of Landlord
(original or successor), American Health Properties, Inc., a Delaware
corporation or the Affiliates of either. In no event shall Landlord (original or
successor) or any Affiliate of Landlord or American Health Properties, Inc., a
Delaware corporation be required to respond in monetary damages from any assets
other than Landlord's equity interest in the Property. Furthermore, except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, in no event shall Landlord or any Affiliate
of Landlord (original or successor) ever be liable to Tenant for any indirect or
consequential damages suffered by Tenant from whatever cause.
28. ADDITIONAL TENANT COVENANTS
---------------------------
28.1. MINIMUM RENT COVERAGE RATIO. From and after the first day of the
second Fiscal Year quarter to commence during the second Lease Year, Tenant
shall maintain at all times during the Term of this Lease an average Rent
Coverage Ratio during the each of the four preceding Fiscal Year quarters (but
only counting those quarters commencing after the first day of the second Lease
Year) of no less than 1.40:1.00. In addition, from and after the first day of
the first Fiscal Year quarter to commence during the third Lease Year, Tenant
shall at all times during the Term maintain a Rent Coverage Ratio with respect
to each Fiscal Year quarter of no less than 1.10:1.00.
28.2. MANAGEMENT OF PROPERTY.
Tenant shall do or cause to be done all things necessary and
customary in the operation of similar health care facilities in the region where
the Property is located to ensure the Facility is producing the maximum possible
gross revenues under the circumstances then existing. Without limitation on the
foregoing, but subject to the limitation stated in Section 28.2((b))((ii)),
Tenant shall continuously engage a manager for the Facility who shall be
acceptable to Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion which manager shall,
at a minimum, be experienced in the operation of health care facilities similar
to the Facility and shall perform for
47
<PAGE> 51
the mutual benefit of Landlord and Tenant all obligations of the manager under
the Management Agreement. The Manager identified in this Lease is acceptable to
Landlord.
(b) Tenant shall not during the Term or while any obligations of
Tenant to Landlord remain outstanding:
(i) Pay any compensation or fee or make any distribution to
Manager or any other Person in connection with management or operation of the
Facility without the prior written consent of Landlord other than compensation
paid in accordance with the Management Agreement as limited by the applicable
terms of the Security and Subordination Documents; or
(ii) Materially alter, modify or amend, or terminate, the
Management Agreement, or enter into any other agreement or arrangement for the
management or operation of the Facility or enter into any agreement (other than
the Option Agreement) that transfers or could result in a transfer of the
ownership of Tenant or (except as provided in the Shortfall Funding Agreement)
substantially all or any material portion of its assets to any other Person
without the prior written consent of Landlord which may be withheld in
Landlord's sole and absolute discretion.
28.3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF TENANT. Each of the
representations and warranties of Tenant set forth in Article 3 of the Shortfall
Funding Agreement are incorporated herein by this reference and made a part
hereof and are reaffirmed to Landlord, for Landlord's benefit and reliance, to
be true, accurate and complete in all respects.
28.4. PERFORMANCE OF COVENANTS. Tenant shall have complied with and
fully performed each of the covenants set forth in Article 4 of the Shortfall
Funding Agreement.
28.5. ERISA COMPLIANCE.
(a) Neither Tenant nor any Affiliate maintains or contributes to
any Employee Benefit Plan or Multiemployer Plan other than those identified on
Schedule 28.3.3.
(b) Tenant and each Affiliate are in compliance in all material
respects with all applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code with respect to
all Employee Benefit Plans. Each Employee Benefit Plan that is intended to be
qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has been determined by the Internal
Revenue Service to be so qualified, and each trust related to such Plan has been
determined to be exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(a) of the
Code. The actuarial present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under
each Plan, as disclosed in the most recent actuarial report with respect to such
Plan, do not exceed the fair market value of the assets of such Plan. No
material liability has been incurred by Tenant or any Affiliate or any of their
ERISA Affiliates which remains unsatisfied for any taxes, penalties or other
amount (other than contributions in the ordinary course) with respect to any
Employee Benefit Plan or any Multiemployer Plan, and to the best knowledge of
Tenant no such material liability is expected to be incurred.
(c) Neither Tenant nor any Affiliate has: (i) engaged in a
nonexempt prohibited transaction described in Section 406 of ERISA or Section
4975 of the Code; (ii) incurred any liability to the PBGC which remains
outstanding other than the payment of premiums and there are no premium payments
which are due and unpaid; (iii) failed to make a required contribution or
payment to a Multiemployer Plan; or (iv) failed to make a required installment
or other required payment under Section 412 of the Code.
48
<PAGE> 52
(d) No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to
occur with respect to any Plan or Multiemployer Plan maintained or contributed
to by Tenant or any Affiliate.
(e) No material proceeding, claim (other than routine claims for
benefits), lawsuit and/or investigation is existing or, to Tenant's knowledge,
threatened concerning or involving any Employee Benefit Plan or Multiemployer
Plan maintained or contributed to by Tenant or any Affiliate.
28.6. SECURITY; COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT. Concurrently with the execution
and delivery hereof, (i) Tenant shall execute and cause Guarantor and Manager to
execute the Security and Subordination Documents and (ii) Tenant shall execute
and deliver to Landlord the Collateral Assignment, pursuant to which Tenant
shall assign to Landlord all of Tenant's rights under the Shortfall Funding
Agreement and the Management Agreement as security for the full, timely and
faithful performance of each of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease.
29. MISCELLANEOUS
-------------
29.1. LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO INSPECT. Landlord and its authorized
representatives may, at any time and from time to time, upon reasonable notice
to Tenant, inspect the Property during usual business hours subject to any
security, health, safety or patient business confidentiality requirements of
Tenant or any governmental agency, or created by any Insurance Requirement or
Legal Requirement relating to the Property.
29.2. NO WAIVER. No failure by Landlord or Tenant to insist upon the
strict performance of any term hereof or to exercise any right, power or remedy
provided hereunder, and no acceptance of full or partial payment of Rent during
the continuance of any such breach, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach
or of any such term. To the extent permitted by applicable law, 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.
29.3. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. To the extent permitted by law, each legal,

Tenant for any indirect or consequential damages suffered by Tenant from
whatever cause.

by either party to perform an obligation required by it to be performed or
comply with a provision of this Lease required by it to be complied with, in any
manner, other than in strict compliance with the time constraints applicable
thereto, even if such purported attempt is but one day late, then such purported
attempt at performance or compliance shall be deemed (i) a violation of this
"Time is of the Essence" clause, (ii) in contravention of the intent of the
parties thereto and (iii) null and void and of no force and effect.
29.17. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; INCORPORATION OF EXHIBITS; MODIFICATIONS. This
Lease and the exhibits attached to this Lease or referred to herein, each of

Exhibit 10.36
FORM OF OPTION AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT ("AGREEMENT") is made as of ________________,
between Assisted Care Operators, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and
Oakhaven Senior Living, Inc., a California corporation (collectively, the
"OPTIONOR") and Balanced Care Corporation, a Delaware corporation, or its
successors and assigns ("BCC").
W I T N E S S E T H
WHEREAS, collectively, Optionor is the owner of 100% of the
equity interests (the "EQUITY INTERESTS") of _______________________________
_____________, a Delaware limited liability company (the "COMPANY"), which
Equity Interests are evidenced by certificate numbers 1 & 2 of the Company, and
represent 100% of the equity interests in the Company; and
WHEREAS, the Company executed and delivered that certain Lease
and Security Agreement dated as of ________________ (the "LEASE") whereby the
Company leased from ____________________, an _______ corporation (the "LESSOR")
property, together with all improvements built or to be built thereon, located
in _______________________ as more fully described in the Lease (the
"PROPERTY"); and
WHEREAS, the Company and _______________________________, a
Delaware corporation (the "MANAGEMENT FIRM") have entered into that certain
Management Agreement dated as of ________________ (the "MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT")
whereby the Company has appointed the Management Firm as the exclusive manager
and operator of the Facility; and
WHEREAS, BCC, Optionor and the Company have entered into that
certain Shortfall Funding Agreement dated as of _______________ (the "SHORTFALL
AGREEMENT") whereby, among other matters, BCC has agreed to fund certain
Shortfalls by making loans to the Company, as more fully provided in the
Shortfall Agreement; and
WHEREAS, BCC is willing to enter into the Shortfall Agreement,
and all other Transaction Documents of which BCC is a party, only if Optionor
executes and delivers an option agreement whereby BCC or its successors and
assigns may acquire all of the Equity Interests of the Optionor, on the terms
and conditions provided herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound
hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. GRANT OF OPTION/CONSIDERATION. (a) Optionor hereby grants
to BCC an option (the "OPTION") to purchase all of Optionor's right, title and
interest in and to the Equity Interests on the terms and conditions provided
herein. The Purchase Price for the Equity Interests shall be paid to Optionor on
the Closing Date in immediately available funds. The Option shall be exercisable
by providing written notice to Optionor on or before the ninth anniversary after
the date of this Agreement (the "OPTION TERM").
(b) In consideration of the grant of the Option to BCC, BCC
shall make the following payments (the "OPTION PAYMENTS") to Optionor, which
Option Payments shall be
<PAGE> 2
payable over a nine year period (until the exercise of the Option) in quarterly
installments, as follows: on the first day of each calendar quarter, beginning
on July 1, 1998, and for so long as this Agreement is in effect (but ending in
all events at the time of exercise of the Option), one-fourth of an amount
calculated as 25% per annum of the Working Capital Reserve actually funded by
the Optionor, compound on an annual basis; provided, however, BCC shall pay on
April 2, 1998 a pro-rata amount calculated as 25% per annum of the Working
Capital Reserve actually funded by Optionor from the date hereof through April
2, 1998, plus an amount equal to one-fourth of an amount calculated as 25% per
annum of the Working Capital Reserve actually funded by Optionor as of April 2,
1998, which April 2, 1998 Option Payment represents Option Payments through the
end of the first calendar quarter of 1998, and Option Payments payable in
advance for the second calendar quarter of 1998. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, if the Option is exercised, BCC's obligation to make
Option Payments thereafter shall cease. Option Payments shall be made to
Optionors without demand or notice, except as expressly provided herein.
(c) Until BCC provides written notice of its exercise of the
Option, BCC shall be under no obligation whatsoever to purchase the Equity
Interests or exercise the Option, and shall not otherwise have any liability
whatsoever hereunder in connection with Option Payments or the purchase of the
Equity Interests.
(d) The "PURCHASE PRICE" as used herein shall mean (i) an
amount equal to the Working Capital Reserve actually funded by the Optionor
under the Shortfall Agreement, plus (ii) an amount calculated as 25% per annum
of the Working Capital Reserve actually funded by the Optionor under the
Shortfall Agreement, compounded annually through the Closing Date (as defined
below), plus (iii) the aggregate amount of all Advances and all other
obligations due and payable by Lessee or the Optionor to BCC or a BCC Affiliate
under the Transaction Documents through the Closing Date (exclusive of the
Management Fee under the Management Agreement), minus (iv) any Option Payments
(including, for purposes of this Subsection, payments made pursuant to
Subsection (ii) of this Section 1(d)). The aggregate amount of all Advances and
all other obligations due and payable by Lessee or the Optionor through the
Closing Date to BCC or a BCC Affiliate under the Transaction Documents as
provided in Subsection (iii) of this Section 1(d), shall be paid to BCC or the
BCC Affiliate (as appropriate) on the Closing Date from the Purchase Price.
2. CLOSING. (a) The closing of the purchase of the Equity
Interests (the "CLOSING"), whether pursuant to the exercise of the Option or
pursuant to the provisions of Section 9 below, shall take place at such time and
location in Pennsylvania as shall be designated by BCC upon three (3) days prior
written notice to Optionor (the "CLOSING DATE"). At the Closing (i) BCC shall
deliver the Purchase Price and (ii) Optionor shall deliver to BCC (A) the
certificates representing the original Equity Interests, together with such
powers and other instruments as BCC may request and (B) the certificate of an
appropriate officer of the Company stating that the transfer of the Equity
Interests to BCC has been recorded on the books and records of the Company, and
affirming to BCC such additional matters as BCC may reasonably request.
Additionally, both BCC and Optionor shall take such further actions and execute
and deliver such further documents and instruments as either party may
reasonably request. The Equity Interests shall be transferred to BCC free and
clear of all Liens and restrictions of any kind or nature, except for Liens in
favor of BCC as expressly provided herein and Liens in favor of Lessor as
expressly provided in the Lease.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein
or in the other
2
<PAGE> 3
Transaction Documents and without in any way implying that such actions are
permissible under the Transaction Documents, if and to the extent that the
funding of the Working Capital Reserve is advanced in the form of a loan to the
Company (such advances, together with all interest, penalties and other costs
and fees assessed or incurred in connection therewith, are referred to herein as
the "BORROWINGS"), the Borrowings shall be repaid in full from the Purchase
Price at the Closing. Optionor shall give BCC prior written notice before
authorizing the Company to make any Borrowings, detailing the amount thereof.
BCC shall have the right at the Closing to pay to the holder of any note
evidencing Borrowings from the Purchase Price the total amount outstanding with
respect to the Borrowings.
3. COVENANTS OF OPTIONOR/LEGEND/PLEDGE. (a) Optionor shall
not (i) sell, assign, convey, pledge (except as expressly provided herein),
encumber or otherwise transfer (by operation of law or otherwise) any of
Optionor's rights, title or interest under, in or to the Equity Interests, (ii)
cause or permit the Company to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate, change
its capital structure, issue new or substitute Equity Interests (including the
issuance of warrants) or sell, convey, assign or otherwise transfer all or any

otherwise take any action that with the passage of time and/or the giving of
notice would constitute a default under or a breach of any covenant or provision
of the Shortfall Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.
(b) Optionor shall cause the Company to place the following
legend on all certificates representing Equity Interests:
THE INTERESTS REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO
AN OPTION TO PURCHASE IN FAVOR OF BALANCED CARE CORPORATION
AND ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, AS MORE FULLY SET FORTH IN
THAT CERTAIN OPTION AGREEMENT DATED AS OF ________________.
(c) To secure the obligations of the Optionor hereunder,
Optionor hereby grants and pledges to BCC a first priority lien and security
interest in the Equity Interests. Such pledge shall be further memorialized by
the Stock Pledge Agreement. For purposes of perfecting the security interest in
the Equity Interests, Optionor shall deliver herewith to BCC possession of all
certificates, instruments, documents and other evidence of Optionor's ownership
of the Equity Interests accompanied by undated powers of attorney or other
appropriate duly executed blank transfer powers. Optionor shall take such
further actions, and execute such further documents, as may be requested by BCC
to effect the pledge and grant of a security interest in the Equity Interests.
(d) In addition to the other covenants stated herein, each
Optionor covenants and agrees that each Optionor shall not, and shall not cause
the Company to, without the prior written consent of BCC: (i) except as

venture

OPTION AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT ("AGREEMENT") is made as of June 16, 1998
between Assisted Care Operators, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and
Oakhaven Assisted Living, Inc., a California corporation (collectively, the
"OPTIONOR") and Balanced Care Corporation, a Delaware corporation, or its
successors and assigns ("BCC").
W I T N E S S E T H
WHEREAS, collectively, Optionor is the owner of 100% of the
equity interests (the "EQUITY INTERESTS") of Assisted Care Operators of
Evansville, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "COMPANY"), which
Equity Interests are evidenced by certificate numbers 1 & 2 of the Company, and
represent 100% of the equity interests in the Company; and
WHEREAS, the Company executed and delivered that certain Lease
and Security Agreement dated as of June 16, 1998, (the "LEASE") whereby the
Company leased from AHP of Indiana, Inc., an Indiana corporation (the "LESSOR")
property, together with all improvements built or to be built thereon, located
in Vanderburgh County, Indiana, as more fully described in the Lease (the
"PROPERTY"); and
WHEREAS, the Company and Balanced Care at Evansville, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "MANAGEMENT FIRM") have entered into that certain
Management Agreement dated as of June 16, 1998 (the "MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT")
whereby the Company has appointed the Management Firm as the exclusive manager
and operator of the Facility; and
WHEREAS, BCC, Optionor and the Company have entered into that
certain Shortfall Funding Agreement dated as of June 16, 1998 (the "SHORTFALL
AGREEMENT") whereby, among other matters, BCC has agreed to fund certain
Shortfalls by making loans to the Company, as more fully provided in the
Shortfall Agreement; and
WHEREAS, BCC is willing to enter into the Shortfall Agreement,
and all other Transaction Documents of which BCC is a party, only if Optionor
executes and delivers an option agreement whereby BCC or its successors and
assigns may acquire all of the Equity Interests of the Optionor, on the terms
and conditions provided herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound
hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. GRANT OF OPTION/CONSIDERATION. (a) Optionor hereby grants
to BCC an option (the "OPTION") to purchase all of Optionor's right, title and
interest in and to the Equity Interests on the terms and conditions provided
herein. The Purchase Price for the Equity Interests shall be paid to Optionor on
the Closing Date in immediately available funds. The Option shall be exercisable
by providing written notice to Optionor on or before the ninth anniversary after
the date of this Agreement (the "OPTION TERM").
(b) In consideration of the grant of the Option to BCC, BCC
shall make the following payments (the "OPTION PAYMENTS") to Optionor: (1) on
the earlier of one day after the issuance of the certificate of occupancy for
the Facility or twelve months following the closing of
<PAGE> 2
the acquisition of the site by AHP of Indiana, Inc. under the Development
Agreement (the "First Payment Date"), an amount equal to the Current Yield (as
hereinafter defined) on the Working Capital Reserve actually funded by Optionor
through such date, payable in arrears for period commencing on the funding date
or dates through the First Payment Date, plus an amount equal to the Current
Yield on the Working Capital Reserve actually funded by Optionor through such
date for the next succeeding 12 month period, payable in advance, (2) on that
date which is twelve months after the First Payment Date (the "Second Payment
Date"), an amount calculated as 25% of the Current Yield on the Working Capital
Reserve actually funded by the Optionor through such date, representing the
first quarterly installment of the annual Current Yield for the following 12
month period, payable in advance, and (3) thereafter, on the first day of each
three-month period following the Second Payment Date and for so long as this
Agreement is in effect (but ending in all events at the time of exercise of the
Option), 25% of the Current Yield on the Working Capital Reserve actually funded
from time to time by the Optionor, compounded on an annual basis, representing
quarterly installments of the annual Current Yield, payable in advance. "Current
Yield" as used in this Agreement means an annual return equal to 27.5% of the
Working Capital Reserve actually funded from time to time through the date of
such calculation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if
the Option is exercised, BCC's obligation to make Option Payments thereafter
shall cease. Option Payments shall be made to Optionors without demand or
notice, except as expressly provided herein.
(c) Until BCC provides written notice of its exercise of the
Option, BCC shall be under no obligation whatsoever to purchase the Equity
Interests or exercise the Option, and shall not otherwise have any liability
whatsoever hereunder in connection with Option Payments or the purchase of the
Equity Interests.
(d) The "PURCHASE PRICE" as used herein shall mean (i) an
amount equal to the Working Capital Reserve actually funded by the Optionor
under the Shortfall Agreement, plus (ii) an amount calculated as the Current
Yield on the Working Capital Reserve actually funded by the Optionor under the
Shortfall Agreement, compounded annually through the Closing Date (as defined
below), plus (iii) the aggregate amount of all Advances and all other
obligations due and payable by the Company or the Optionor to BCC or a BCC
Affiliate under the Transaction Documents through the Closing Date (exclusive of
the Management Fee under the Management Agreement), minus (iv) any Option
Payments. The aggregate amount of all Advances and all other obligations due and
payable by the Company or the Optionor through the Closing Date to BCC or a BCC
Affiliate under the Transaction Documents as provided in Subsection (iii) of
this Section 1(d), shall be paid to BCC or the BCC Affiliate (as appropriate) on
the Closing Date from the Purchase Price. To avoid any doubt, BCC shall receive
a credit against the Purchase Price for Option Payments paid as Current Yield in
advance, to the extent that such advanced Option Payments are attributable to
Current Yield accruing after the Closing Date.
2. CLOSING. (a) The closing of the purchase of the Equity
Interests (the "CLOSING"), pursuant to the exercise of the Option, shall take
place at such time and location in Pennsylvania as shall be designated by BCC
upon three (3) days prior written notice to Optionor (the "CLOSING DATE"). At
the Closing (i) BCC shall deliver the Purchase Price and (ii) Optionor shall
deliver to BCC (A) the certificates representing the original Equity Interests,
together with such powers and other instruments as BCC may request and (B) the
certificate of an appropriate officer of the Company stating that the transfer
of the Equity Interests to BCC has been recorded on the books and records of the
Company, and affirming to BCC such additional matters as BCC may reasonably
request. Additionally, both BCC and Optionor shall take such further actions and
execute and deliver such further documents and instruments as either party may
reasonably
2
<PAGE> 3
request. The Equity Interests shall be transferred to BCC free and clear of all
Liens and restrictions of any kind or nature, except for Liens in favor of BCC
as expressly provided herein and Liens in favor of Lessor as expressly provided
in the Lease.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein
or in the other Transaction Documents and without in any way implying that such
actions are permissible under the Transaction Documents, if and to the extent
that the funding of the Working Capital Reserve is advanced in the form of a
loan to the Company (such advances, together with all interest, penalties and
other costs and fees assessed or incurred in connection therewith, are referred
to herein as the "BORROWINGS"), the Borrowings shall be repaid in full from the
Purchase Price at the Closing. Optionor shall give BCC prior written notice
before authorizing the Company to make any Borrowings, detailing the amount
thereof. BCC shall have the right at the Closing to pay to the holder of any
note evidencing Borrowings from the Purchase Price the total amount outstanding
with respect to the Borrowings.
3. COVENANTS OF OPTIONOR/LEGEND/PLEDGE. (a) Optionor shall not
(i) sell, assign, convey, pledge (except as expressly provided herein), encumber
or otherwise transfer (by operation of law or otherwise) any of Optionor's
rights, title or interest under, in or to the Equity Interests, (ii) cause or
permit the Company to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate, change its
capital structure, issue new or substitute Equity Interests (including the
issuance of warrants) or sell, convey, assign or otherwise transfer all or any

otherwise take any action that with the passage of time and/or the giving of
notice would constitute a default under or a breach of any covenant or provision
of the Shortfall Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.
(b) Optionor shall cause the Company to place the following
legend on all certificates representing Equity Interests:
THE INTERESTS REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO
AN OPTION TO PURCHASE IN FAVOR OF BALANCED CARE CORPORATION
AND ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, AS MORE FULLY SET FORTH IN
THAT CERTAIN OPTION AGREEMENT DATED AS OF JUNE 16, 1998.

interest in the Equity Interests. Such pledge shall be further memorialized by
the Pledge Agreement. For purposes of perfecting the security interest in the
Equity Interests, Optionor shall deliver herewith to BCC possession of all
certificates, instruments, documents and other evidence of Optionor's ownership
of the Equity Interests accompanied by undated powers of attorney or other
appropriate duly executed blank transfer powers. Optionor shall take such
further actions, and execute such further documents, as may be requested by BCC
to effect the pledge and grant of a security interest in the Equity Interests.

Optionor covenants and agrees that each Optionor shall not, and shall not cause
the Company to, without the prior written consent of BCC: (i) except as

Rate"). The Lease Rate shall be calculated on a three hundred sixty (360) day
year applied to actual days.
The "Total Project Cost" as defined herein shall mean all costs set

hereto, as and when such costs are advanced by Landlord pursuant to the
Development Agreement. The parties agree that Tenant shall be provided copies of

adjustment therefor as set forth in Section 5C of the Development Agreement.
Any increase in Base Rent with respect to payments made pursuant to
Section 32.12 of Exhibit B to the Development Agreement shall commence to accrue
on the day of such advance. The increased Base Rent from the day of such advance

the increased Base Rent amount and the first adjusted monthly Base Rent amount
shall be due on the regularly scheduled Base Rent installment date which occurs

provided herein.
SECTION 3.1.1 The obligation to pay the Base Rent and Additional Rent
(as defined in 3.2.1) shall commence on the Commencement Date. Base Rent shall
be paid in advance in equal monthly installments on the first day of each month.
For purposes of this Lease, a Lease Year shall be the twelve (12) month period
commencing on the Commencement Date, or if the Commencement Date is a day other
than the first day of a month, the first Lease Year shall be such partial month

time, Tenant shall, upon written request of Landlord, on the first day of the
calendar month immediately following such request, and on the first day of each
calendar month thereafter during the Lease Term (each of which dates is referred
to as a "Monthly Deposit Date"), pay to and deposit with Landlord a sum equal to
one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Taxes to be levied, charged, filed, assessed or
imposed upon or against the Premises within one (1) year after said Monthly
Deposit Date. If the amount of the Taxes to be levied, charged, assessed or

Monthly Deposit Date, such amount for the purpose of computing the deposit to be
made by Tenant hereunder shall be reasonably estimated by Landlord with an
appropriate adjustment to be promptly made between Landlord and Tenant as soon
as such amount becomes determinable. In addition, Landlord may, at its option,
from time to time require that any particular deposit be greater than
one-twelfth (1/12th) of the estimated amount payable within one (1) year after

SECTION 3.4 shall be held by Landlord and shall be applied to payment of the
Taxes when due. Any such deposits may be commingled with other assets of
Landlord, and shall be deposited by Landlord at OCWEN Federal Bank FSB. Landlord
shall not be responsible to Tenant for any loss of principal so deposited at
such depository bank due to financial failure or any act of omission of such
depository. The income from such investment or interest on such deposit shall be
paid to Tenant on a semi-annual basis as long as no Event of Default has
occurred. Tenant shall give not less than ten (10) days prior written notice to
Landlord in each instance when a Tax is due, specifying the Tax in full (or in
installments as otherwise provided for herein), together with any penalty or
interest thereon, provided, however, Tenant shall not be in default hereunder if
it fails to receive notice from the applicable taxing authority and such notice
was sent directly to the Landlord. Landlord may change its estimate of any Tax
for any period on the basis of a change in an assessment or tax rate or on the
basis of a prior miscalculation or for any other good faith reason; in which
event, within ten (10) days after demand by Landlord, Tenant shall deposit with
Landlord the amount in excess of the sums previously deposited with Landlord for
the applicable period which would theretofore have been payable under the
revised estimate. Landlord shall provide Tenant with an annual statement of all
amounts deposited and interest earned thereon under this SECTION 3.4.
SECTION 3.4.10 OTHER PROPERTIES. If any Tax shall be levied, charged,
filed, assessed, or imposed upon or against the Premises, and if such Tax shall
also be a levy, charge, assessment, or imposition upon or for any other real or
personal property owned by Tenant that does not
-8-
<PAGE> 9

deposited under this SECTION 3.4 shall be based upon the entire amount of such
Tax and Tenant shall not have the right to apportion any deposit with respect to
such Tax owed by Tenant.
SECTION 3.4.11 TRANSFERS. In connection with any assignment of the
Landlord's interest under this Lease, the original Landlord named herein and
each successor in interest shall have the right to transfer all amounts
deposited pursuant to the provisions of this SECTION 3.4 and still in its

this Lease) and upon such transfer, the original Landlord named herein or the
applicable successor in interest transferring the deposits shall thereupon be
completely released from all liability with respect to such deposits so
transferred and Tenant shall look solely to said assignee, as the subsequent
holder of Landlord's interest under this Lease, in reference thereto.
SECTION 3.4.12 SECURITY. All amounts deposited with Landlord pursuant
to the provisions of this SECTION 3.4 shall be held by Landlord as additional
security for the payment and performance of all obligations of Tenant under the
Lease and, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Landlord may, in its
sole and absolute discretion, apply said amounts towards payment or performance
of such obligations.
SECTION 3.4.13 RETURN. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease, provided, that, all of the Lease obligations have been fully paid
and performed, any sums then held by Landlord under this SECTION 3.4 shall be

shall be deposited into an interest bearing escrow account in Tenant's name
to be disbursed from time to time in accordance with EXHIBIT 3.5 hereto to pay
for replacements and correction of deferred maintenance items. Landlord shall
also be entitled to use such funds to cure any Event of Default hereunder
pursuant to the Assignment and Pledge of Deposit Account Agreement between the
parties of even date herewith. Funds held in the Capital Reserve Account shall
be deposited by Landlord at OCWEN Federal Bank FSB. Landlord shall not be
liable to Tenant for any consequent loss of principal so deposited at such
depository bank. Any funds remaining in the Capital Reserve Account at

representation or warranty as to the compliance of such use under any such laws,

portion thereof or allow it to be removed or demolished, without the prior
written consent of Landlord, which may be withheld at Landlord's sole
discretion; provided, that no consent shall be required of Landlord for any
alteration, addition or improvement that costs less than $25,000 in the
aggregate. If Tenant fails to obtain Landlord's prior written consent for any
alteration, and such consent is required under this Lease, then such alteration

by Landlord shall be in quality and class at least equal to the original work
and shall meet all building and fire codes, and all other applicable codes,
rules, regulations, laws and ordinances. Tenant also agrees to maintain
builder's risk insurance and shall cause its contractors to carry the types of

curtailment shall give rise to any claim for abatement of Rent or other
compensation to Tenant from Landlord, nor may Tenant claim any damages on
account thereof, nor shall this Lease or any obligation of Tenant hereunder be
affected thereby, nor shall Tenant claim the same as a constructive eviction.
SECTION 9. LIENS AGAINST THE PREMISES.
SECTION 9.1. LIENS. Except as provided for herein and except for any
lien, charge or encumbrance granted by Landlord with respect to the Premises,
Tenant will not permit the Premises to become subject to any lien, charge, or
encumbrance. Tenant shall maintain the Premises free from all orders, notices,
and violations filed or entered by any public or quasi-public authorities.
SECTION 9.2. LANDLORD'S RIGHTS. Should a judgment on any lien, charge,
encumbrance, order, notice or, violation be rendered against the Premises for
any work performed by or for Tenant or any person claiming through or under
Tenant and should Tenant fail to discharge such judgment within thirty days of
receipt of notification thereof by Tenant (or if notification is sent to
Landlord within thirty days of Landlord's notification to Tenant of the same),
Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to discharge said
judgment. If Landlord exercises that option, any amounts paid by Landlord shall
be due from Tenant as Additional Rent. Such Additional Rent shall be due and
payable on the next date after such expense was incurred.
SECTION 9.3 MECHANIC'S LIENS. Tenant shall take all reasonable steps
necessary to ensure that no lien arising under Pennsylvania law as a result of
construction done at the Premises at Tenant's request shall extend to the
interest of Landlord in the Premises. Tenant shall pay all costs incurred by

and repair of any and all improvements on the Premises. Should a lien or claim
of lien be filed against the Landlord's interest in the Premises by any

to, or for the performance
-17-
<PAGE> 18
by, any materialman, contractor, mechanic, labor or other person furnishing any
labor, services, materials, supplies or equipment in connection with any capital
additions to any part of the Premises. Tenant shall not, and shall have no power
to, grant any lien, mortgage or other encumbrance upon the reversionary or other
estate of Landlord, or any interest of Landlord in the Premises. NOTICE IS
HEREBY GIVEN THAT LANDLORD IS NOT AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LABOR,
SERVICES OR MATERIALS FURNISHED OR TO BE FURNISHED TO TENANT OR TO ANYONE
HOLDING ANY PART OF THE PREMISES, AND THAT NO MECHANICS' OR OTHER LIENS FOR ANY
SUCH LABOR, SERVICES OR MATERIALS SHALL ATTACH TO OR AFFECT THE INTEREST OF
LANDLORD IN AND TO THE PREMISES. Tenant shall notify any contractor,
subcontractor, laborer, materialman or vendor providing any labor, services or
materials to the addition of the foregoing provisions of this SECTION 9.4.
SECTION 10. NON-LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION.
SECTION 10.1 TENANT'S INDEMNITY. During the Lease Term, Tenant agrees
to defend, protect, indemnify and save harmless Landlord and any Facility
Mortgagee from and against all claims arising out of or connected with the use,
misuse, occupancy, possession or unoccupancy of the Premises by Tenant any
person claiming by, through or under Tenant, or its respective officers,
directors, servants, agents, licensees, guests, customers, concessionaires,
sublessees, contractors, employees or invitees and shall pay all costs and
expenses incurred by Landlord and any Facility Mortgagee (each an "Indemnified
Party") in connection with such claims, including without limitation, court
costs and reasonable attorney's fees for trial and appellate proceedings. The
Indemnified Parties shall be protected hereby from all claims arising during the
Lease Term from loss of or damage to property, or death or personal or bodily
injury to persons except to the extent such loss, damage, death or injury is
caused by the gross negligence or willful actions of Landlord or any
person-claiming by, through or under Landlord. Promptly after the assertion by
any party of any claim against any Indemnified Party that, in the judgment of
such Indemnified Party, is a claim for which such Indemnified Party would be
entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Lease, such Indemnified Party shall
deliver to Tenant a written notice describing in reasonable detail such claim
and Tenant shall assume the defense of the Indemnified Party against such claim
(including the employment of counsel, who shall be reasonably satisfactory to
such Indemnified Party, and the payment of expenses), unless such claim relates
to a defense which Landlord considers relevant to Landlord's business as a whole
(limited to the ownership, operation or leasing of the Facility) in which case
Landlord may defend the claim at the expense of Tenant. Any Indemnified Party
shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action or claim and
to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel
shall not be at the expense of Tenant unless (i) Tenant shall have failed,
within a reasonable time after having been notified by the Indemnified Party of
the existence of such claim as provided in the preceding sentence, to assume the
defense of such claim, or such claim relates to a defense which Landlord
considers relevant to Landlord's business as a whole (limited to the ownership,
operation or leasing of the Facility), (ii) the employment of such counsel has
been specifically authorized in writing by Tenant, or (iii) the named parties to
any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both such
-18-
<PAGE> 19
Indemnified Party and Tenant and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised
in writing by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses
available to the Indemnified Party or Tenant which are not available to, or the
assertion of which would be adverse to the interests of, the other party. Tenant
shall not be liable to indemnify any Indemnified Party for any settlement of any
such action or claim effected without the consent of Tenant, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, but if settled with the written consent of Tenant, or if
there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, Tenant shall
indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any loss or
liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. The provisions of this
Section shall survive the termination or expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease.
SECTION 10.2 LIMITATION ON LIABILITY. Neither Landlord nor any agent of
Landlord shall be liable to Tenant, or any other person whatsoever for any
damage, injury, loss, compensation, or claim (including, but not limited to, any
claim for the interruption of or loss to any business conducted on the Premises)
based on, arising out of or resulting from any cause whatsoever (except to the
extent such damage, injury, loss, compensation or claim is caused by the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any person claiming by, through
or under Landlord), including, but not limited to, the following: (a) repairs to
the Premises, (b) interruption in use of the Premises, (c) any accident or
damage resulting from the use or operation of the Premises or any business
conducted thereon, (d) the termination of this Lease by reason of casualty or
condemnation, (e) any fire, theft or other casualty or crime, (f) the actions,
omissions or misconduct of any other person, (g) damage to any property, or (h)
any damage from the flow or leaking of water, rain or snow. All Personal
Property and the personal property of any other person on the Premises
(including, without limitation, Tenant's Equipment) shall be at the sole risk of
Tenant and Landlord shall not in any manner be held responsible therefor. During
the Lease Term of this Lease, the risk of loss or of decrease in the enjoyment
and beneficial use of the Premises in consequence of any damage or destruction
thereof by fire, the elements, casualties, thefts, riots, wars or otherwise, or
in consequence of foreclosures, levies or executions of liens (other than those
granted by Landlord) is assumed by Tenant and, Landlord shall in no event be
answerable or accountable therefor nor shall any of the events mentioned in this
SECTION 10.2 entitle Tenant to any abatement of Rent.
It is expressly agreed by the parties that in no case shall Landlord
(or its partners any individuals or entities comprising Landlord) be personally
liable, under any express or implied covenant, agreement or provision of this
Lease, for any damages whatsoever to Tenant beyond Landlord's interest in the
Premises plus insurance proceeds. Landlord shall have no liability hereunder for
indirect or consequential damages.
SECTION 11. INSURANCE.
SECTION 11.1 All insurance policies required by this SECTION 11 shall
be issued by a good and solvent insurance company or companies licensed to do
business in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, with a BEST'S KEY RATING GUIDE
rating of A- and a financial rating of XII or better, selected by Tenant and
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, and shall include Landlord and each
-19-
<PAGE> 20
mortgagee of which Landlord has notified Tenant as additional insureds as their
interests may appear. Tenant shall provide a copy of binders for insurance
policies conforming to the requirements of this Lease for Landlord's review at
least thirty (30) days prior to the Commencement Date. Tenant agrees to deliver
certificates of such insurance to Landlord as of the Commencement Date and
thereafter not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any such
policy. Such insurance shall not be canceled, materially changed, or non-renewed
without thirty (30) days' written notice to Landlord.
Landlord and Tenant shall each give prompt notice to the other of all
losses, damages or injuries to any person or damage to any property which may in
any way be related to this Lease and for which a claim might be made against the
other party. Each party shall promptly report to the other party all such
claims, whether related to matters insured or uninsured. Landlord and Tenant
shall assist and cooperate with any insurance company in the adjustment or
litigation of all claims and losses arising under this Lease.
11.2 PROPERTY INSURANCE. From and after the Commencement Date, Tenant
shall obtain and keep in force throughout the Lease Term, at its expense,
"all-risk" property insurance upon the Improvements and Personal Property
against fire and such other hazards, casualties and contingencies
(including boiler and machinery coverage on a comprehensive basis) as are from
time to time customarily covered by all-risk policies for similar buildings
used for similar purposes as Tenant is then making of the Facility with
endorsements insuring against earthquake and subsidence. The limit of such
insurance shall never be less than 100% of the actual replacement cost at the
time and place of loss (without deduction for depreciation), and the policy
shall include an agreed amount endorsement. This policy shall include coverage
for increased cost of construction, demolition and contingent liability as a
result of compliance with then existing applicable legal requirements. Such
insurance will be subject only to such deductibles as are approved by Landlord
(Tenant agreeing to pay to Landlord, upon demand as Additional Rent, the amount
of any such deductible following any casualty loss). The policy shall include
rent continuation coverage payable to Landlord, of no less than twelve (12)
months rent (including Base Rent and Additional Rent). Landlord agrees to apply
the proceeds of any rent continuation coverage received by Landlord to Base
Rent and Additional Rent due hereunder, and the balance, if any, to Tenant for
payment of normal operating expenses in Landlord's reasonable discretion. Any
such proceeds remaining after the completion of restoration as permitted
hereunder shall be paid over to Tenant provided no Event of Default exists
hereunder. If such Event of Default exists, Landlord may utilize such proceeds
to cure such Event of Default. All such policies shall name Landlord as the
named insured and each Facility Mortgagee as a loss payee as its interest may
appear (so long as, as to any Facility Mortgagee, such Mortgagee has agreed in
writing with Tenant and Landlord to allow use of the insurance proceeds as
provided herein).
In the event that Landlord receives a notice of cancellation of such
insurance policy or policies without a corresponding notice regarding the
issuance of new insurance prior to the effective date of such cancellation,
Landlord may, in addition to and without thereby waiving any other remedies, pay
the premiums necessary to prevent such cancellation and bill Tenant
-20-
<PAGE> 21
therefor. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord therefor by paying such amount,
together with interest at the rate set forth in SECTION 3.2.3, to Landlord, as
Additional Rent, within five (5) days after demand therefor by Landlord.
SECTION 11.3 LIABILITY INSURANCE. Tenant shall provide or cause to be
provided at its expense, and keep in force during the Lease Term:
(a) Commercial general liability insurance (without any so-called
employee exclusion or the like) in an amount reasonably required by Landlord
from time to time based on the then current practice for similar buildings used
for senior housing or personal care homes providing assisted living services
located within the vicinity of the Real Property, but in any event not less than
the greater of (i) One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence, Three
Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) aggregate, or (ii) the liability coverage
typically carried by Tenant in similar facilities, including contractual
liability coverage. Such policy shall name Tenant as a named insured and
Landlord and each Facility Mortgagee of which Landlord has notified Tenant, as
additional insureds with respect to any claim arising from Tenant's use,
occupancy, repair or operation of the Premises;
(b) Comprehensive automobile liability insurance including personal
injury and property damage in the amount of a combined single limit of One
Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) each occurrence. Coverage must include owned,
leased, hired and non-owned vehicles;
(c) Worker's compensation and occupational disease insurance with
statutory limits;
(d) Professional liability insurance with a limit not less than Five
Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) per occurrence; and
(e) Excess liability policy in umbrella form with a minimum limit of
liability of ___________________ ($_____________) applying in excess of the
coverages listed in (a), (b) and (d) above.
(f) All liability insurance shall be on an occurrence basis. Tenant may
not elect to carry claims made commercial general liability insurance unless
occurrence coverage is generally unavailable at commercially reasonable rates in
the marketplace. Tenant's insurance shall state that it is primary and not
contributing with any insurance purchased by Landlord. Tenant's insurance shall
also state that it is severable with respect to all insureds under the policy
and that acts of one insured will not abrogate coverage for other insureds.
SECTION 11.4 PERSONAL PROPERTY INSURANCE. Tenant shall obtain and
keep in force throughout the Lease Term, at its expense, "all-risk" property
insurance on Tenant's Equipment, including but not limited to furniture,
machinery and equipment, for the full replacement cost.
-21-
<PAGE> 22
SECTION 11.5 MORTGAGEE'S OTHER REQUIREMENTS. Tenant shall maintain
any other insurance reasonably required by Landlord or the Facility Mortgagee
to the extent such insurance is available in Pennsylvania and is customarily
carried by owners or operators of personal care homes with assisted living
services. Flood insurance shall be required for the maximum amount required
through the federal flood program if any of the Improvements are located in a
designated flood hazard zone as identified in the Flood Disaster Act of 1973.
SECTION 11.6 BLANKET INSURANCE. Nothing contained in this SECTION 11
shall prohibit Landlord or Tenant from obtaining a policy or policies of
blanket insurance which may cover other properties of Landlord or Tenant
provided that (a) any such blanket policy expressly allocates to the Premises
not less than the amount of insurance required hereunder to be maintained and
(b) such blanket policy shall not diminish the obligations to insure hereunder,
so that proceeds from such policies shall be an amount no less than the
proceeds that would be available under a separate policy.
SECTION 11.7 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Landlord and Tenant, each for
itself and its insurer, hereby waive all claims and rights against the other
and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, servants, and
agents, for any damage to or destruction of real or personal property of
Landlord or Tenant to the extent covered by the insurance required to be
maintained hereunder. All property insurance policies carried at any time
during the Lease Term by either party covering the Premises shall include a
clause to the effect that such waiver of subrogation shall not adversely affect
or impair such policies or prejudice the rights of the insureds to recover
thereunder. The provisions of this SECTION 11.7 shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease.
SECTION 11.8 DEPOSIT OF INSURANCE PREMIUMS. At the option
of Landlord, which may be exercised at any time, Tenant shall, upon written
request of Landlord, on the first day of the calendar month immediately
following such request, and on the first day of each calendar month thereafter
during the Lease Term (each of which dates is referred to as a "Insurance
Monthly Deposit Date"), pay to and deposit with Landlord a sum equal to
one-twelfth (1/12th) of the insurance premiums required by this SECTION 11 (the
"Insurance Premiums") with respect to the Premises within one (1) year after
said Insurance Monthly Deposit Date. If the amount of the insurance premiums
within the ensuing one (1) year period shall not be fixed upon any Insurance
Monthly Deposit Date, such amount for the purpose of computing the deposit to be
made by Tenant hereunder shall be reasonably estimated by Landlord with an
appropriate adjustment to be promptly made between Landlord and Tenant as soon
as such amount becomes determinable. In addition, Landlord may, at its option,
from time to time require that any particular deposit be greater than
one-twelfth (1/12th) of the estimated amount payable within one (1) year after
said Insurance Monthly Deposit Date, if such additional deposit is required in
order to provide to Landlord a sufficient fund from which to make payment of all
insurance premiums on or before the next due date of any installment thereof.
-22-
<PAGE> 23
SECTION 11.9 USE OF DEPOSITS. The sums deposited by Tenant under
this SECTION 11 shall be held by Landlord and shall be applied to payment to
the insurance premiums when due. Any such deposits may be commingled with other
assets of Landlord, and shall be deposited by Landlord at OCWEN Federal Bank
FSB. Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for any loss of principal so
deposited at such depository bank due to financial failure or any act of
omission of such depository. The income from such investment or interest on
such deposit shall be paid to Tenant on a semi-annual basis as long as no Event
of Default has occurred. Tenant shall give not less than ten (10) days prior
written notice to Landlord in each instance when an insurance premium is due,
specifying the amount of the insurance premium in full (or any installment),
together with any penalty or interest thereon, provided, however, Tenant shall
not be in default hereunder if it fails to receive notice from the applicable
insurance company and such notice was sent directly to the Landlord. Landlord
may change its estimate of any Insurance Premium on the basis of a change in
any invoice received or on the basis of a prior miscalculation or for any other
good faith reason; in which event, within ten (10) days after demand by
Landlord, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the amount in excess of the sums
previously deposited with Landlord for the applicable period which would
theretofore have been payable under the revised estimate. Landlord shall
provide Tenant with an annual statement of all amounts deposited and interest
earned thereon under this SECTION 11. In connection with any assignment of the
Landlord's interest under this Lease, the original Landlord named herein and
each successor in interest shall have the right to transfer all amounts
deposited pursuant to the provisions of this SECTION 11 and still in its
possession to such assignee (as the subsequent holder of Landlord's interest in
this Lease) and upon such transfer, the original Landlord named herein or the
applicable successor in interest transferring the deposits shall thereupon be
completely released from all liability with respect to such deposits so
transferred and Tenant shall look solely to said assignee, as the subsequent
holder of Landlord's interest under this Lease, in reference thereto. All
amounts deposited with Landlord pursuant to the provisions of this SECTION 11
shall be held by Landlord as additional security for the payment and
performance of all obligations of Tenant under the Lease and, upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default, Landlord may, in its sole and absolute
discretion, apply said amounts towards payment or performance of such
obligations. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, provided
that, all of the Lease obligations have been fully paid and performed, any sums
then held by Landlord under this SECTION 11 shall be refunded to Tenant. Tenant
agrees to pay reasonable administrative or other fees associated with Landlord
or its designees holding, disbursing and otherwise managing the deposits under
this SECTION 11.
SECTION 12. DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION.
SECTION 12.1 REPAIR OR RESTORATION AFTER MAJOR CASUALTY. In the event
that any part of the Improvements or the Personal Property shall be damaged or
destroyed by fire or other casualty for which Tenant is required to maintain
insurance hereunder and the cost to repair such casualty is greater than
$200,000, (any such event being called a "Major Casualty"), Tenant shall
promptly replace, repair and restore the same as nearly as possible to its
condition immediately prior to such Major Casualty, in accordance with all of
the terms, covenants and conditions and other requirements of this Lease. If,
pursuant to
-23-
<PAGE> 24
this SECTION 12, Tenant shall be obligated to make repairs, the Premises shall
be so replaced, repaired and restored as to be substantially the same character
as prior to such Major Casualty. The plans and specifications for such
restoration shall be first submitted to and approved in writing by Landlord,
which approval may be withheld in Landlord's sole discretion. Landlord agrees to
provide its approval or disapproval of plans and specifications within fifteen
(15) days of submission to Landlord by Tenant together with reasonable detail as
to how such plans or specifications are deficient or can be approved, if
applicable. Tenant may elect to retain, at its expense, an independent
architect, reasonably approved by Landlord, who shall oversee such repairing,
restoring or replacing. Tenant covenants that it will give to Landlord prompt
written notice of any casualty affecting the Premises or any portion thereof.
Notwithstanding the above Landlord shall have no obligation to restore the
Premises; Landlord's sole obligation shall be to disburse any available
insurance proceeds pursuant to the procedures and to the extent described
herein.
Landlord agrees that Landlord shall make the net proceeds of insurance
(after payment of Landlord's costs and expenses of collection) available to
Tenant for Tenant's repair, restoration and replacement of the Improvements and
Personal Property damaged on the following terms and subject to Tenant's
satisfaction of the following conditions:
(a) At the time of such loss or damage and at all times thereafter
while Landlord is holding any portion of such proceeds, there shall exist no
Event of Default;
(b) In Landlord's judgment, the Improvements and Personal Property to
which loss or damage has resulted shall be capable of being restored to its
pre-existing condition and utility in all material respects with a value equal
to or greater than that existing prior to such loss or damage and, in Landlord's
judgment, Substantial Completion of such repair, replacement and restoration can
be achieved within 6 months of the casualty or prior to the expiration of Lease
Term, whichever is earlier. As used herein "Substantial Completion" shall have
the same meaning for such term used in the Development Agreement (modified as
needed to reflect any partial casualty);
(c) Within thirty (30) days from the date of such loss or damage Tenant
shall have given Landlord a written notice electing to have the proceeds applied
for such purpose;
(d) Within sixty (60) days following the date of notice under the
preceding subparagraph and prior to any proceeds being disbursed to Tenant,
Tenant shall have provided to Landlord all of the following:
i) complete plans and specifications for restoration, repair
and replacement of the Improvements and Personal Property damaged to the
condition, utility and value required by (b) above,
ii) if loss or damage exceeds $200,000, a fixed-price or
guaranteed maximum cost bonded construction contracts for completion of the
repair and restoration work to the
-24-
<PAGE> 25
Improvements in accordance with such plans and specifications and firm price
quotes good for the period of restoration for the Personal Property which must
be repaired or replaced,
iii) builder's risk insurance for the full cost of
construction with Landlord named under a standard mortgagee loss-payable clause,
iv) such additional funds as in Landlord's reasonable opinion
are necessary to complete the repair, restoration and replacement, which funds
may be made available in cash or by delivery of a letter of credit in a form and
from an issuer acceptable to Landlord, and
v) copies of all permits and licenses necessary to complete
the work in accordance with the plans and specifications and any applicable
regulatory approvals;
(e) Landlord may, at Tenant's expense, retain an independent inspector
to review and approve plans and specifications and completed construction and to
approve all requests for disbursement, which approvals shall be conditions
precedent to release of proceeds as work progresses;
(f) No portion of such proceeds shall be made available by Landlord for
architectural reviews or for any other purposes which are not directly
attributable to the cost of repairing, restoring or replacing the Improvements
and Personal Property for which a loss or damage has occurred unless the same
are covered by such insurance;
(g) Tenant shall commence such work within ninety (90) days of such
loss or damage and shall diligently pursue such work to completion;

be funded subject to conditions and in accordance with disbursement procedures
which a commercial landlord would typically establish in the exercise of sound
practices and shall be made only upon receipt of disbursement requests on an AIA
G702/703 form (or similar form approved by Landlord) signed and certified by the
Tenant and its architect and general contractor with appropriate invoices and
lien waivers as required by Landlord;
(i) In the event Tenant fails to timely make such election or having
made such election fails to timely comply with the terms and conditions set
forth herein, Landlord shall be entitled without notice to or consent from
Tenant to apply such proceeds, or the balance thereof, at Landlord's option
either (i) to the full or partial payment or prepayment of the Base Rent and to
sums advanced under the Transaction Documents by Landlord or (ii) to the repair,
restoration and/or replacement of all or any part of such Improvements and
Personal Property for which a loss or damage has occurred. Any excess insurance

issuance of or an endorsement of any policy to bring Tenant into compliance
herewith and, as limited above, at Landlord's sole option, to make any claim
for, receive payment for, and execute and endorse any documents, checks or other

SECTION 12.2 EXCEPTION FOR MAJOR CASUALTY DURING LAST TWO LEASE YEARS
AND UNINSURED CASUALTY. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event
of a Major Casualty (a) occurring during the last two Lease Years of the Lease
Term or (b) resulting from a flood, nuclear accident, war or other event for
which Tenant is not obligated to maintain insurance hereunder and which, in the
opinion of Landlord, renders the Premises unsuitable for Tenant's use as a
personal care homes with assisted living services as operated by Tenant prior to
the Casualty, then, subject to the rights of Tenant as provided in SECTION 12.9

notice to Tenant and, in such event, all insurance proceeds attributable to the
Real Property, Improvements and Personal Property shall be payable to the
Facility Mortgagee or, if none, to Landlord and all insurance proceeds

has not reached Substantial Completion within the earlier of 6 months following
commencement of repair and restoration or the expiration of the Lease Term,

Facility Mortgagee of Landlord's intention to terminate this Lease as provided
in SECTION 12.2 or assume responsibility for completion of such repair and
restoration of the Premises.

contained in this SECTION 12, Tenant shall not be obligated to rebuild
following a Major Casualty if the repairs or reconstruction of the damage
cannot be made under existing laws, ordinances, statutes or regulations of any
governmental authority applicable thereto. In the event Tenant is unable to
rebuild in accordance with the provisions hereof, and such casualty causes the
Premises to be rendered unsuitable for use as a personal care home with
assisted living services, then, subject to the rights of Tenant as provided in
SECTION 12.9 hereof, this Lease shall terminate. In such event all insurance
proceeds shall be payable to any Facility Mortgagee or, if none, to Landlord
within ten (10) days of said Lease termination date free and clear of all liens
or claims, and all insurance proceeds attributable to Tenant's Equipment shall
be payable to Tenant.

<PAGE> 27
In the event of such termination, Tenant shall promptly, at its own expense,
remove from the Premises any of Tenant's Equipment not so damaged or destroyed.
SECTION 12.5 RENDERED UNSUITABLE. For the purposes of this
SECTION 12, the Facility shall be deemed to have been rendered unsuitable for
use as a personal care home with assisted living services if, in the good faith
judgment of Landlord, the Facility cannot after any such loss be
operated on a commercially practicable basis as a personal care home with
assisted living services of the type and quality existing and licensed
immediately prior to such loss, taking into account, among other relevant
factors, the number of units, dining and kitchen facilities, parking lots,
driveways, or walkways affected by such loss.

that any part of the Improvements or Personal Property shall be damaged or
destroyed by fire or other casualty and the cost to repair such casualty is
$200,000 or less (a "Minor Casualty"), then Tenant shall promptly repair and
restore the same as nearly as possible to its condition immediately prior to
such Minor Casualty, in accordance with all of the applicable terms, covenants

modifications, or renewals of any nature or description to the Premises (or any
private roadways, sidewalks or curbs appurtenant thereto), whether ordinary or
extraordinary, structural or non-structural, foreseen or unforeseen.
SECTION 12.9 TENANT'S RIGHTS TO ACQUIRE PREMISES AFTER CASUALTY. In the
event Landlord elects to terminate the Lease pursuant to SECTIONS 12.2 OR 12.4

services, this Lease shall terminate. Termination will be effective without
entry or notice. Termination shall occur as of the day when possession is
required to be surrendered to the taking or condemning authority.
SECTION 13.1.2 For purposes of this SECTION 13, the Premises shall be

terminate. If, however, as a result of the taking, the number of units
available for operation of the Facility as a personal care home with assisted
living services of the type and quality existing and licensed prior to-the
taking has been or must be reduced, Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of
Rent. The rent abatement shall be to the extent that is fair, just and
equitable to both Tenant and Landlord, taking into consideration, among other
relevant factors, the number of units and/or parking lots, driveways, dining
and kitchen facilities or walkways affected by such loss.
SECTION 13.3 DAMAGES FOR TAKING. All damages awarded in connection
with the taking of the Premises shall vest in Landlord. In the event of a

Credit) less the amounts set forth in clause (a) above), plus the amounts set
forth in clause (a) above; (iii) if Tenant delivers Tenant's Taking Option
notice and Closing does not occur due to a default by Tenant, Tenant shall have
no further right to purchase the Premises under the Lease, Landlord may retain
the Deposit and this Lease shall terminate.
SECTION 14. QUIET ENJOYMENT. Landlord covenants and agrees that, so
long as Tenant observes and performs all of the covenants, conditions, and
stipulations of this Lease, Tenant may, subject to all the terms and conditions
hereof, lawfully and quietly hold, occupy and enjoy the Premises during the

SECTION 15. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
SECTION 15.1 LANDLORD'S CONSENT. Except as provided in SECTIONS 15.4,
15.7(D) AND 15.8 below, Tenant may not sublease, assign, pledge or in any way
transfer this Lease or any interest in Tenant or any member of Tenant without
the prior written consent of Landlord. If Tenant wishes to assign or sublease
this Lease and Landlord's consent is required hereunder, Tenant shall deliver
to Landlord (i) a true and complete copy of the proposed instrument of
assignment or sublease containing all of the terms and conditions of such
proposed assignment or sublease, (ii) information as to the identity and
experience of the assignee/sublessee as Landlord may reasonably require, (iii)
such financial information concerning the proposed assignee or sublessee as
Landlord may reasonably require, and (iv) except in the case of a sublease
entered into pursuant to SECTION 15.5 below, a written agreement, in form
reasonably approved by Landlord, between such proposed assignee or sublessee
and Landlord in which such proposed assignee or sublease agrees with Landlord
to perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this
Lease, as well as all of the other documents executed and delivered to Landlord
in connection with the Lease, jointly and severally with Tenant, all of which
Landlord may consider in determining whether to grant its consent. Landlord
agrees to notify Tenant within 30 days following delivery of the foregoing
information, as to whether or not Landlord shall grant its consent. If Landlord
fails to notify Tenant in writing within said 30 day period, Landlord shall be
deemed to have not consented to said assignment or sublease.
If Landlord consents to an assignment or sublease, then prior to such
assignee or sublessee taking occupancy of the Premises, Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord an original of the fully-executed instrument of assignment and, if
applicable, of the agreement described in clause (iv) of the preceding paragraph
of this Section.
-29-
<PAGE> 30
SECTION 15.2 LANDLORD'S ASSIGNMENT RIGHTS. Landlord may at any time
assign, participate or securitize all or part of its rights and
obligations under this Lease.
SECTION 15.3 SUBSEQUENT ASSIGNMENTS OR SUBLEASES. No assignment
or subletting that is approved pursuant to this SECTION 15 shall be deemed to
remove any subsequent assignment or subletting from the provisions of this
SECTION 15, it being the intent hereof that every assignment and subletting,
whenever occurring, shall require the same approval as is set forth herein for
an original assignment or subletting.
SECTION 15.4 RESIDENTIAL LEASES. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall be permitted, without obtaining
Landlord's consent, to sublease individual units pursuant to a form approved in
advance in writing by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, provided (i) the term of each sublease does not exceed one
(1) year and (ii) the sublease does not provide for any periods of reduced or
no rent, or other similar concessions. Tenant shall obtain Landlord's consent
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed to any material
changes which may be made to the standard form.
SECTION 15.5 COMMERCIAL LEASES. Landlord acknowledges and understands
that Tenant may enter into one or more commercial subleases covering portions
of the Premises with sublessees who shall provide certain specialized services
and amenities to the residents of the Facility (e.g. beauty parlor,
convenience store, bank outlet). Tenant shall obtain Landlord's prior written
consent to such subleases, and in no event shall (i) the term of such sublease
be greater than one (1) year, (ii) the square footage to be subleased exceed
three thousand (3,000) square feet in the aggregate for all subleases, and
(iii) such sublease (other than residential unit subleases) survive termination
or expiration of this Lease. Any such sublease shall be in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord including the provision of professional
liability and general liability insurance as Landlord shall reasonably require.
Upon the request of Landlord, Tenant shall provide copies of any such executed
subleases to Landlord and obtain subordinations, if applicable, of such
subleases to this Lease.
SECTION 15.6 EFFECT OF ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLETTING. In all events,
notwithstanding any assignment or subletting permitted hereunder, Tenant's
liability to Landlord shall remain direct and primary. Any assignee or
sublessee of Tenant's interest in the Premises, other than a sublessee under
a sublease entered into pursuant to SECTION 15.4 or SECTION 15.5 hereof to whom
such joint and severally liability provisions shall not apply, shall be deemed
to have agreed directly with Landlord to be jointly and severally liable with
Tenant for the performance of Tenant's obligations hereunder and such assignee
or sublessee shall upon request execute and deliver such instruments as
Landlord reasonably requests in confirmation thereof (and agrees that its
failure to do so shall be subject to the default provisions of this Lease). At
any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, Landlord may
collect rent and other charges from any assignee or sublessee (and upon notice
any assignee or
-30-
<PAGE> 31
sublessee shall pay such sums directly to Landlord) and apply the amount
collected to the rent and other charges herein reserved. No consent to
assignment or collection of rent by Landlord directly from any assignee or
sublessee or failure so to collect such rent shall be deemed a waiver of the
provisions of this SECTION 15, an acceptance of such assignee or sublessee as a
tenant hereunder, or a release of Tenant from direct and primary liability for
the performance of all of the covenants of this Lease.
SECTION 15.7 OTHER PROVISIONS REGARDING SUBLEASES AND ASSIGNMENTS.
(a) (i) A copy of any sublease fully executed and acknowledged by the
Tenant and the sublessee, shall be mailed to Landlord within ten (10) days from
effective date of such subletting.
(ii) Such assignment and/or subletting shall be subject to all
the provisions, terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease and the
Tenant-assignor (and any guarantor(s) of this Lease) and such assignee(s) shall
continue to be and remain liable hereunder, it being expressly understood and
agreed that no assignment or subletting of the Premises shall in any way relieve
Tenant or any subsequent assignee(s) from the performance of any of the
agreements, terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease.
(iii) Each sublease permitted under this SECTION 15 shall
contain provisions to the effect that (A) such sublease is only for the actual
use and occupancy by the sublessee, and (B) unless Landlord elects otherwise,
such sublease is subject and subordinate to all of the terms, covenants, and
conditions of this Lease and to all of the rights of Landlord thereunder, and
(C) such sublease shall expire prior to the expiration or earlier termination of
the Lease Term (except residential unit subleases).
(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary,
and notwithstanding any consent by Landlord to any sublease of the Premises or
any assignment of this Lease, no sublessee shall assign its sublease nor further
sublease the Premises, or any portion thereof, and no assignee shall further
assign its interest in this Lease nor sublease the Premises, or any portion
thereof, without Landlord's prior written consent in each of such cases.
(c) Tenant's failure to comply with all of the provisions and
conditions of this SECTION 15 and all of the subsections hereof shall at
Landlord's option, render any purported assignment or subletting null and void
and of no force and effect.
(d) In the event that Tenant hereunder or any of the Guarantors shall,
at any time, be a corporation, limited liability company or partnership, any
change in one or a series of related transactions in the outstanding capital
stock, equity, beneficial or membership interest of Tenant (or such Guarantors)
without the prior written consent of Landlord, shall constitute a sublease or
assignment hereunder requiring Landlord consent other than the transfer of all
membership interests in Tenant to Balanced Care Corporation (or a wholly owned
subsidiary of Balanced Care Corporation) provided that in each case Balanced
Care Corporation guarantees the
-31-
<PAGE> 32
obligations of Tenant to Landlord in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord
in its sole discretion pursuant to that certain Option Agreement, dated the date
hereof, by and among Tenant, Guarantors and Balanced Care Corporation; provided,
that Balanced Care Corporation or said wholly owned subsidiary of Balanced Care
Corporation shall provide evidence satisfactory to Landlord that as the sole
member of Tenant such entity is unrestricted in making capital contributions or
equity infusions into Tenant for the purpose of funding Tenant's obligations and
agreements hereunder.
(e) Without the prior written consent of Landlord, Tenant may not
mortgage, pledge, or otherwise encumber its leasehold estate hereunder, and any
attempt to mortgage, pledge, or otherwise encumber such estate shall be null and
void and of no force and effect.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Tenant's leasehold interest in the Lease
may be mortgaged as security for the obligations of Tenant to Balanced Care
Corporation under the Operating Deficit Loan Documents (as defined below);
provided, that, Balanced Care Corporation shall not otherwise assign or transfer
such mortgage and (ii) subject to Tenant's assignment of its interest in the
Lease to Balanced Care Corporation or a wholly owned subsidiary of Balanced Care
Corporation pursuant to Section 15.8 hereof, Balanced Care Corporation shall
have a right to pledge any accounts receivables arising from any permitted
subleases at the Facility to a third-party creditor subject to Landlord's first
priority security interest in such accounts receivables and the execution and
delivery to Landlord of an intercreditor agreement with such third-party
creditor in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord in its sole discretion.
SECTION 15.8 PERMITTED ASSIGNMENT. Tenant may assign its entire
interest in the Lease to Balanced Care Corporation (or a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Balanced Care Corporation, provided that Balanced Care
Corporation guarantees the obligations of such entity to Landlord in form and
substance satisfactory to Landlord in its sole discretion) at any time
without the consent of Landlord pursuant to Section 1.03 of the Shortfall
Funding Agreement, dated the date hereof, by and between Tenant and Balanced
Care Corporation (the "Shortfall Funding Agreement"); provided, that, Tenant
shall deliver to Landlord an original of the fully-executed instrument of
assignment and, if applicable, of the agreement described in clause (iv) of
SECTION 15.1 hereof. Upon any such permitted assignment, Tenant shall no longer
be liable for any obligations of Tenant occurring after the date of such
assignment but Tenant shall not be released from and shall remain liable for
any obligations under the Lease that arose or occurred prior to the date of
such assignment. Tenant has delivered a copy of the fully-executed Shortfall
Funding Agreement and the various documents and instruments being executed and
delivered therewith (collectively, the "Shortfall Documents") to Landlord and
Tenant agrees not to modify, amend or terminate the Shortfall Documents without
Landlord's prior written consent, which may be withheld in Landlord's sole
discretion.
SECTION 16. NOTICES. No notice or other communication shall be deemed
given unless sent in any of the manners, and to the persons, specified in this
SECTION 16. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing

SECTION 17. MORTGAGEE PROTECTION.
SECTION 17.1 ATTORNMENT. Tenant, including, without limitation, any
permitted assigns or successor to Tenant and any holder of a leasehold mortgage
granted by Tenant (collectively, the "Tenant Parties"), covenants and agrees
that, if by reason of a default
-33-
<PAGE> 34
upon the part of the Landlord in the performance of any of the terms and
conditions of any Facility Mortgage, the estate of Landlord thereunder is
terminated by summary disposition proceedings or otherwise, Tenant Parties will
attorn to the then Facility Mortgagee or the purchaser in such foreclosure
proceedings, as the case may be, and will recognize such Facility Mortgagee or
such purchaser as the Landlord under this Lease. Tenant Parties covenant and
agree to execute and deliver, at any time and from time to time, upon reasonable
request of Landlord or the holder of such mortgage or the purchaser in
foreclosure, any instrument which may be reasonably necessary to evidence such
attornment, subject to Tenant's receipt of a non-disturbance agreement from
Landlord's Facility Mortgagee in form reasonably required by such Facility
Mortgagee providing that Tenant's tenancy hereunder and Tenant's purchase
options under this Lease will not be disturbed so long as no Event of Default
exists under this Lease in the event of a default by Landlord and foreclosure
under the Facility Mortgage.
SECTION 17.2 ESTOPPEL STATEMENTS. The parties hereto shall, at any time
and from time to time upon not less than ten (10) days prior written notice from
the other party, execute, acknowledge and deliver to such other party, in form
reasonably satisfactory to such other party or to such other party's mortgagee,
a written statement certifying (if true) that this Lease is unmodified and in
full force and effect (or if there have been modifications stating the nature
thereof), that, to the best of such signer's knowledge, such other party is not
in default hereunder (or specifying the nature of any default), the date to
which rental and other charges have been paid and such other information as may
be reasonably required by such other party. It is intended that any such
statement delivered pursuant to this subsection may be relied upon by any
prospective purchaser or mortgagee of the Premises any permitted assignee of
this Lease or permitted sublessee and their permitted respective successors and
assigns.
SECTION 17.3 SUBORDINATION. This Lease and any permitted leasehold
mortgage encumbering Tenant's interest in the Lease shall, at the request and
option of the holder of any Facility Mortgage, be subordinated to the lien of
any Facility Mortgage; provided that as to any such lien recorded after the date
of this Lease such subordination shall only occur so long as Landlord shall
provide Tenant at Landlord's expense with a non-disturbance agreement from
Landlord's Facility Mortgagee in form reasonably required by such Facility
Mortgagee providing that Tenant's tenancy hereunder and Tenant's purchase
options under this Lease will not be disturbed so long as no Event of Default
exists under this Lease in the event of a default by Landlord and foreclosure
under the Facility Mortgage.
SECTION 17.4 RENT ASSIGNMENT. If from time to time Landlord assigns
this Lease or the rents payable hereunder to any person or entity, whether such
assignment is conditional in nature or otherwise, such assignment shall not be
deemed an assumption by the assignee of any obligations of Landlord and Tenant
shall comply with the terms of any such assignment so long as the same are not
inconsistent with the rights of Tenant hereunder; but the assignee shall be
responsible only for non-performance of Landlord's obligations which occur after
it succeeds to and only while it holds Landlord's interest in the Premises or is
a mortgagee in possession of the Premises.
-34-
<PAGE> 35
SECTION 17.5 NOTICE TO MORTGAGEE. No act or failure to act on the part
of Landlord which would entitle Tenant under the terms of this Lease, or by law,
to be relieved of Tenant's obligations hereunder or to terminate this Lease,
shall result in a release or termination of such obligations or a termination of
this Lease unless (i) Tenant shall have first given written notice of Landlord's
act or failure to act to each of the holders under any Facility Mortgage
specifying the act or failure to act on the part of Landlord which could or
would give basis to Tenant's rights, and (ii) such mortgage holder, after
receipt of such notice, has failed or refused to correct or cure the condition
complained of within a reasonable time thereafter; but nothing contained in this
SECTION 17.5 shall be deemed to impose any obligation on any such mortgage
holder to correct or cure any such condition. Tenant's obligation to send a
notice to Landlord's mortgagee in the preceding sentence shall be limited to
mortgagees of which Landlord has supplied Tenant with names and addresses.
"Reasonable time" as used above shall mean a period of not more than thirty (30)
days and shall include (but not be limited to) a reasonable time to obtain
possession of the Premises if the mortgagee elects to do so and a reasonable
time to correct or cure the condition if such condition is determined to exist.
The agreements in this Lease with respect to the rights and powers of a
mortgagee constitute a continuing offer to any such third party beneficiary
which may be accepted by taking a mortgage of the Premises.
SECTION 18. LANDLORD INSPECTION. Landlord may enter upon the Premises
during normal business hours and upon three (3) days prior written notice for
any purpose in its sole discretion; provided, that Landlord shall not
unreasonably interfere with Tenant's business operations.

and does not violate any agreement, operating agreement, decree or law by which

Property, Tenant shall not be deemed in default hereunder because of the
existence of the same so long as Tenant and/or the other Indemnitors under the
Environmental Indemnity Agreement are remediating such material as required
pursuant to such Environmental Indemnity Agreement. The use of the Real Property
as previously operated and hereafter intended to be operated by the Tenant will
not result in the location on or disposal or other release of any petroleum
products, oil, or Hazardous Materials or solid wastes on or to the Real Property
except those customarily generated, stored and used in the operation of a
personal care home with assisted living services in accordance with Applicable
Environmental Laws (as defined in the Environmental Indemnity Agreement). Tenant

material adverse change is pending or threatened), and the Tenant has not
guaranteed the obligations of, or made any investments in or advances to, any

(y) In connection with the sale and purchase of the Real Property and
this Lease, neither party has dealt with any real estate broker, agent or
finder, and there is no other commission, charge or other compensation due on
account thereof other than a fee due to Hakman and Company, Incorporated
("Hakman"), which will be paid by Tenant. Landlord and Tenant expressly agree
that such fee shall not be part of Total Project Costs, and that Tenant shall be
solely responsible for the payment of such fee. Tenant agrees to indemnify and
hold Landlord harmless from and against any claims for any brokerage fee or
commission on account of this transaction by any person or entity, including
without limitation Hakman.

-39-
<PAGE> 40

restrictions or reservations caused by or consented to in writing by Landlord.
Tenant shall, surrender the Premises to Landlord broom clean and in good order,
condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear (and casualty and condemnation
damage; provided Tenant was not obligated to replace, repair and replace the
Premises or any portion thereof as provided in Sections 12 and 13 hereof)
excepted, with all Tenant's Equipment removed. Any of Tenant's Equipment which
is not removed from the Premises by the termination date shall be deemed
abandoned to Landlord and Landlord may dispose of the same as it sees fit, at
Tenant's expense. All alterations which Landlord approved shall become part of
the Premises and remain following surrender. Tenant shall repair any damage
caused by the removal of any alterations or any of Tenant's Equipment and
restore the Facility or the surface of the Real Property, as the case may be, to
substantially the condition in which it was prior to such removal.
SECTION 21. TENANT'S OPTION TO PURCHASE.
SECTION 21.1 CONDITIONS TO OPTION. On the conditions (which conditions
Landlord may waive, at its sole option, by notice to Tenant at any time) that
(a) at the time of exercise of the Purchase Option, there is no Event of Default
hereunder, and no fact or circumstance exists which constitutes or with the
passage of time, or giving of notice, or both could constitute a default and (b)
Tenant strictly complies with the provisions of this SECTION 21, then Tenant
shall have the option to purchase the Premises, at the price and upon the terms
hereinafter set forth (the "Purchase Option").
SECTION 21.2 EXERCISE OF OPTION. Beginning on the first day of the
forty-ninth (49th) full calendar month of the Lease Term and ending on the last
day of the fifty-sixth (56th) full calendar month of the Lease Term, the Tenant
shall have the option to purchase the Premises (or arrange for such purchase)
for an amount equal to the greater of: (i) the Total Project Cost or (ii) the
Net Economic Value (the "Purchase Price"). In the event Tenant decides to
purchase the Premises, Tenant shall within ten (10) days after determination of
the Purchase Price as set forth in this SECTION 21, deposit with Landlord a
nonrefundable Purchase Option deposit (the "Deposit") equal to three times the
monthly Base Rent for the month the Tenant exercises the Purchase Option, which
Deposit shall be held in escrow and applied to the Purchase Price or forfeited
to Landlord as provided in SECTION 21.11 below. Closing on the purchase shall
occur within ninety (90) days after the date Tenant exercises the Purchase
Option.
Upon closing on the purchase of the Premises as provided hereunder,
Tenant shall be entitled to receive a credit for fifty percent (50%) of the
Value Creation (as defined below) in the Premises. Landlord will give the Tenant
credit for 50% of the Value Creation on the settlement statement, as well as a
credit equal to the balances, if any, in any reserve accounts and escrow
accounts and a credit equal to any Excess Project Costs (as defined with respect
to Force Majeure in SECTION 17.2 of Exhibit B to the Development Agreement).
Value Creation is defined as the Purchase Price less the Total Project Cost less
the Letter of Credit Amount . The Letter of Credit Amount is defined as the
Letter of Credit (as defined below) less amounts returned to Tenant up
-40-
<PAGE> 41
to an amount not to exceed $__________. The Tenant shall purchase the Premises
in an "as is" condition, which title shall be good and marketable of record and
subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances plus subleases, encumbrances,
restrictions or reservations which were made or caused by Tenant or by Landlord
at the request of Tenant.
NET ECONOMIC VALUE. Net Economic Value is defined as the then-current
Appraised Value of the fee simple interest in the Premises less an amount of up
to 3% of such Net Economic Value which represents actual costs paid by the
Tenant relative to the exercise of the Purchase Option including but not limited
to commissions, management fees (not to exceed 5% of Operating Revenues (as
defined below)), legal fees, etc.
APPRAISAL PROCEDURE. The Appraised Value of the Premises for purposes
of calculating Net Economic Value of Premises shall be determined not more than
ninety (90) days prior to the date of closing on the purchase of the Premises.
To that end, Tenant and Landlord shall first attempt to agree in writing upon
the Appraised Value of the fee simple interest in the Premises. In the event
that Tenant and Landlord are unable to agree in writing upon the Appraised Value
of the Premises within ten (10) days, then Landlord shall appoint an Appraiser
(the "Landlord's Appraiser"), and Tenant shall appoint an Appraiser (the
"Tenant's Appraiser"). If the Appraised Value of the Premises as determined by
Landlord's Appraiser and the Appraised Value of the Premises as determined by
Tenant's Appraiser differ by ten percent (10%) or less, then the Appraised Value
of the Premises shall be determined by averaging the two appraisals. The
Appraisers chosen shall be MAI's and active in the business of appraisals for
facilities providing assisted living services.
If the appraisals differ by more than ten percent (10%), then
Landlord's Appraiser and Tenant's Appraiser shall mutually agree on a third
Appraiser (the "Mutual Appraiser") to determine the Appraised Value of the
Premises. If the Mutual Appraiser's determination of the Appraised Value of the
Premises shall be identical to the Appraised Value of the Premises as determined
by either the Landlord's Appraiser or the Tenant's Appraiser, then the Appraised
Value of the Premises as determined by the Mutual Appraiser shall be final and
shall be deemed to be the Appraised Value of the Premises. If the Appraised
Value of the Premises as determined by the Mutual Appraiser shall be different
than the Appraised Value determined by Landlord's Appraiser and the Appraised
Value determined by Tenant's Appraiser, then the Appraised Value of the Premises
shall be determined by selecting among the three Appraisals the two numerically
closest appraisals and then calculating the arithmetic mean thereof. If the
three appraisals shall differ by the same numerical amount, then the Appraised
Value of the Premises shall be determined by calculating the arithmetic average
of the three Appraisals.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant notifies Landlord in writing
of its intention to exercise its Purchase Option and the price at which Tenant
would be willing to buy, Landlord will notify Tenant in writing within five (5)
business days after receipt of Tenant's notice either (i) that Landlord approves
the sale price; or (ii) that Landlord does not approve the sale price. If the
Landlord approves the sale price, then the Tenant may buy the Premises at the
price specified in its notice and such price shall be binding and conclusive on
the parties. If the Landlord does
-41-
<PAGE> 42
not approve the sale price, then the Tenant may initiate the appraisal process
as previously described to determine the Appraised Value for purposes of
calculating the Net Economic Value. The price approved by Landlord, or
established by the appraisal procedure set forth above shall be valid for a
period of not more than ninety (90) days from the date of Landlord's approval or
of the completion of the appraisal process.
SECTION 21.3 TENANT COOPERATION. In the event the Tenant does not
exercise the Purchase Option as provided in the preceding paragraph, Tenant
shall cooperate with Landlord in assuring the smooth transition of Premises
operations, licensing to Landlord, and unconditional assignment of all other
certificates and licenses necessary to the operation of the Premises which can
lawfully be assigned by Tenant to Landlord. Tenant, at Landlord's request and
at Landlord's sole cost and expense shall also assist Landlord in its
application for any and all other licenses and approvals necessary for Landlord
to operate the Premises as a personal care home with assisted living services.
Tenant appoints Landlord as Tenant's attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver
any instruments, documents or certificates necessary to transfer any licenses
or permits to Landlord or Landlord's designee to operate the Premises as a
personal care home providing assisted living services.
SECTION 21.4 CONVEYANCE. If the Purchase Option is exercised by
Tenant in accordance with the terms hereof, the Real Property and Improvements
shall be conveyed by a good and sufficient _________________ Deed (with
covenants against Grantor's acts) (the "Deed") and the Personal Property
shall be conveyed in a good and sufficient limited warranty Bill of Sale (with
covenants against grantor's acts) (the "Bill of Sale") each running to Tenant
or to such grantee as Tenant may designate by notice to Landlord at least seven
(7) days before the Time of Closing.
SECTION 21.5 PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE. The Purchase Price less the
Deposit shall be paid by Tenant at the Time of Closing by certified, cashier's,
treasurer's or bank check(s) or wire transfer pursuant to instructions
received from Landlord at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the Time of
Closing. Tenant shall be responsible for all conveyance, recording or transfer
stamps, fees or taxes.
SECTION 21.6 PLACE AND TIME OF CLOSING. If this Purchase Option is
exercised, the closing shall occur and the Closing Documents specified below
shall be delivered (the "Closing") at the office of Landlord at 12:00 o'clock
noon (E.S.T.) on the relevant Purchase Option Date (such time, as the same
may be extended by mutual written agreement of Landlord and Tenant, being
hereinafter referred to as the "Time of Closing"). It is agreed that time is of
the essence of this Purchase Option.
SECTION 21.7 CONDITION OF PREMISES. The Premises is to be purchased
'AS IS' and 'WHERE IS' as of the Time of Closing.
SECTION 21.8 QUALITY OF TITLE. If Landlord shall be unable to give
title or to make conveyance, as stipulated in this Section, then, at
Landlord's option, (i) Landlord
-42-
<PAGE> 43
may cure such failure at its expense or (ii) elect to have the Purchase Price
reduced by the effect on the Appraised Value of the Premises in the manner
established in this Section.
SECTION 21.9 MERGER BY DEED. The acceptance of the Deed and Bill of
Sale by Tenant or the grantee designated by Tenant, as the case may be, shall
be deemed to be a full performance and discharge of every agreement and
obligation to be performed by Landlord contained or expressed in this Lease.
SECTION 21.10 USE OF PURCHASE PRICE TO CLEAR TITLE. To enable
Landlord to make conveyance as provided in this SECTION 21, Landlord may, at
the Time of Closing, use the Purchase Price or any portion thereof to clear the
title of any lien, provided that all instruments so procured are recorded
contemporaneously with the closing or reasonable arrangements are made for a
recording subsequent to the Time of Closing in accordance with customary
conveyancing practices.
SECTION 21.11 TENANT'S DEFAULT. If Tenant delivers Tenant's Purchase
Option Notice and closing does not occur due to a default by Tenant, Tenant
shall thereafter have no further right to purchase the Premises pursuant to
this SECTION 21 and Landlord shall retain the Deposit although this Lease shall
otherwise continue in full force and effect.
SECTION 21.12 PRORATION OF BASE RENT. If the Purchase Option is
exercised by Tenant in accordance with the terms hereof, and the Closing shall
occur prior to the last day of any month of the Lease Term, then at the
Closing, the Base Rent paid by Tenant for such month shall be adjusted between
Landlord and Tenant as of the Time of Closing with the Tenant being entitled to
a credit from Landlord to be shown on the settlement statement in an amount
equal to the Base Rent attributable to any period from and after 12:00 midnight
of the day preceding the date of Closing.
SECTION 21.13 CLOSING DOCUMENTS. If the Purchase Option is exercised
by Tenant in accordance with the terms hereof, at the Closing, Landlord shall

Identification Number; and
(6) Releases for any Facility Mortgage and any other
encumbrances which Tenant is not required to acquire title to as provided
herein.
SECTION 22. SECURITY.
(a) In order to secure the payment and performance of all of the
obligations hereunder, Tenant agrees to provide or cause there to be provided
the following security (the "Security"):
i) a first lien and exclusive security interest in the
Tenant's Equipment and receivables, as more particularly provided for in the

plus interest earned thereon or the irrevocable standby letter of credit

-44-
<PAGE> 45
have occurred prior to the initial expiration of such Letter of Credit, shall be
renewed until Stabilization or successive periods of 12 months whichever is
later (provided, however, after the Commencement Date any such renewal Letter of
Credit shall be required in the amount of the then unused balance and provided
further Landlord may draw the full amount available under a Letter of Credit if
same is not replaced as required hereunder within 10 days prior to expiration of
any expiring Letter of Credit). The Letter of Credit shall be in form and
substance, and from an issuer satisfactory to Landlord, deposited with Landlord
to secure all obligations hereunder and under the Development Agreement, the
payment of working capital and Pre-Stabilization Rent payments upon sight draft
by Landlord; provided, that no Event of Default exists hereunder. Working
capital in the MAXIMUM amount of $_______ may be made available by Landlord for
any expense to operate the Facility (other than Base Rent and Additional Rent)
and up to $200,000 may be used to fund pre-marketing and operational start-up
costs (the "Start-Up Costs") from the Letter of Credit during the
Pre-Stabilization Period to be disbursed by Landlord to Tenant in Landlord's
reasonable discretion. To the extent additional working capital is necessary,
Tenant shall provide written notice to Landlord requesting that additional funds
be made available from the Letter of Credit; provided that all such requests in
the aggregate do not exceed $______. Landlord shall review any such request and
shall have the right to require evidence or documentation from Tenant with
respect to such working capital expenses. Landlord shall have the right to
accept or reject any such request in its reasonable discretion. To the extent
Landlord rejects any request or such request exceeds the $______ limit or Tenant
has already exceeded the $______ limit, then Tenant will be required to fund the
working capital that is needed. To the extent the Letter of Credit is reduced
below an amount equal to the Letter of Credit Maximum Amount less the Start-Up
Costs at any time prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant shall be required to
deposit the shortfall in the form of cash to be held under the Assignment and
Pledge of Deposit Account agreement or a replacement Letter of Credit in the
amount of such shortfall on the same terms and conditions as and issued by the
same issuer as the Letter of Credit with Landlord on or before the Commencement
Date. The balance, if any, of Letter of Credit shall be returned to Tenant upon
achievement of Stabilization. In the event that at any time during the Lease
Term (i) the cash flow from the Premises for any month is insufficient to pay
scheduled Base Rent or Additional Rent, and (ii) scheduled Base Rent or
Additional Rent then due and payable is not otherwise paid by Tenant directly or
through a debit of the Mandatory Sweep Account under Section 24(a) or (b) then,
provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred, Landlord upon receipt of
a written direction from Tenant at least five (5) days prior to the payment
date, shall disburse to itself from funds then available under the Letter of
Credit an amount sufficient to pay the Base Rent or Additional Rent then due and

Rent due) will be deposited into an interest bearing escrow account established
at Ocwen Federal Bank FSB within five (5) days of the end of each month (the
"Mandatory Sweep Account") pursuant to an
-45-
<PAGE> 46
Assignment and Pledge of Deposit Account Agreement between Tenant and Landlord
of even date. Except as provided below, Tenant shall have no right to withdraw
from the Mandatory Sweep Account prior to Stabilization. Provided there is no
Event of Default, upon achievement of Stabilization any balance, if any, in the
Mandatory Sweep Account shall be paid to the Tenant. Prior to the occurrence of
an Event of Default, the Tenant will calculate the Excess Cash Flow (after the
payment of monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent due) for the Premises and
deposit the same into the Mandatory Sweep Account. Following an Event of
Default, the Tenant will consent to and participate in a lockbox agreement with
Landlord for referral of all Premises revenues to a lockbox. On the date hereof,
the Tenant and the Landlord will execute a lockbox agreement to be held by
Landlord during the term of the Lease for its enforcement should an Event of
Default occur. In the event that at any time during the Lease Term (i) the cash
flow from the Premises for any month is insufficient to pay scheduled Base Rent
or Additional Rent and (ii) scheduled Base Rent or Additional Rent then due and
payable is not otherwise paid by Tenant, then, provided that no Event of Default
shall have occurred, Landlord, upon receipt of a written direction from Tenant
at least five (5) days prior to the payment date, shall disburse to itself from
funds then in the Mandatory Sweep Account an amount sufficient to pay the
scheduled Base Rent or Additional Rent then due and payable.
(b) STABILIZATION PERIOD
(1) In the event that the average Lease Payment Coverage Ratio
falls below 1.30 to 1.00 for any six calendar month period after Stabilization,
all Excess Cash Flow from the Premises (after the payment of monthly Base Rent
and Additional Rent due) will be deposited into the Mandatory Sweep Account
within five (5) days of the end of each month. Except as provided below, Tenant
shall have no right to withdraw from the Mandatory Sweep Account during any
period after Stabilization during which the Excess Cash Flow is being deposited
in such Mandatory Sweep Account. In the event that at any time during the Lease
Term (i) the cash flow from the Premises for any month is insufficient to pay
scheduled Base Rent or Additional Rent and (ii) scheduled Base Rent or
Additional Rent then due and payable is not otherwise paid by Tenant, then,
provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred, Landlord, upon receipt of
a written direction from Tenant at least five (5) days prior to the payment
date, shall disburse to itself from funds then in the Mandatory Sweep Account an
amount sufficient to pay the scheduled Base Rent or Additional Rent then due and
payable.
(2) Prior to an Event of Default, the Tenant will receive and
calculate the Excess Cash Flow for the Premises. Following an Event of Default,
the Tenant will consent, to and participate in a lockbox agreement with Landlord
for referral of all Premises revenues to a lockbox. On the date hereof, the
Tenant and the Landlord will execute a lockbox agreement to be held by Landlord
during the term of the Lease for its enforcement should an Event of Default
occur. On each anniversary of the Lease after Stabilization and at maturity, so
long as the Mandatory Sweep Account is not then in effect as provided in Section
24(b)(1) hereof and no Event of Default shall have occurred, any balance in the
Mandatory Sweep Account shall be paid to the Tenant.
-46-

(3) The Lease Payment Coverage Ratio (the "Lease Payment
Coverage Ratio") is defined as Operating Revenues less the Operating Expenses
(all as defined in EXHIBIT 24(b)) for the Premises (excluding depreciation and
income taxes and including a maximum management fee of 5.0% of the Operating
Revenues, and scheduled reserves for the Premises, all in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles) over scheduled monthly Base Rent. If
the average Lease Payment Coverage Ratio increases to or above 1.30 to 1.00 for
any consecutive 6 calendar month period, commencing 6 months immediately
following the commencement of the mandatory sweep, then the Excess Cash Flow
will become available to the Tenant. Excess Cash Flow shall be defined as
Operating Revenues LESS the Operating Expenses for the Premises (excluding
depreciation and income taxes and including a maximum management fee of 5.0% of
the Operating Revenues, and scheduled reserves for the Premises, all in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles).

proceedings, lawful force, or otherwise. In addition, in the event of the
occurrence of any Event of Default (whether or not Landlord shall elect to
reenter or to take possession pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any
notice provided for by applicable laws), Landlord shall have the right, at its
option, to terminate this Lease (including the Purchase Option) on not less than
two (2) days' notice to Tenant and upon the giving of said notice, this Lease
and the term hereof shall cease and expire on the date set forth in said notice
as if said date were the expiration date originally set forth herein and or it
may from time to time, whether or not this Lease be terminated, make such
alterations and repairs as may be reasonably necessary in order to relet the
Premises or any part(s) thereof for such term or terms (which may extend beyond
the term of this Lease) and at such rental(s) and upon such other terms and
conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable; upon each such
reletting, all rentals received by the Landlord from such reletting shall be
applied, first, to the payment of any indebtedness (other than Rents due
hereunder) of Tenant to Landlord, second, to the payment of any costs and
expenses of such reletting, including, without limitation, brokerage fees (at no
greater than customary rates in the area in which the Premises is located) and
reasonable attorneys' fees, and of the cost of such alterations and repairs,
third, to the payment of Rents due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if
any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future rents and other
payments required to be made by Tenant hereunder as the same may become due and
payable hereunder, with the right reserved to Landlord to bring such action(s)
or proceeding(s) for the recovery of any deficits remaining unpaid without

pursuant to the provisions of this Section. If such rentals received from such
reletting during any month are less than that to be paid during that month by
Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay any such deficiency to Landlord. Such
deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly subject to Landlord's right of
action(s) or proceeding(s) as aforesaid. No such reentry or taking possession of
the Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on its part to
terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to
Tenant, or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent
jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Landlord
may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous
breach. Should Landlord at any time terminate this Lease for any breach, in
addition to any other remedies it may have, it may recover from Tenant all
damages it may incur by reason of such breach, in addition to any other remedies
it may have, as damages for loss of the bargain and not as a penalty, including
the cost of recovering the Premises, reasonable attorneys' fees, and including
the worth, at the time of such termination, of the excess, if any, of

in this Lease for the remainder of the then term of this Lease, over the
aggregate rental value of the Premises for the remainder of such term, all of
which shall be immediately due the payable from Tenant to Landlord. If any
applicable laws shall validly limit the amount of the damages provided or in the
immediately preceding sentence to less than the amount above agreed upon,

the event the Tenant does not comply with its obligations under this Lease,
Landlord shall also have the right to appropriate injunctive relief. The rights
and remedies, whether herein or anywhere else in this Lease provided, shall be
cumulative, and the exercise of any one right or remedy shall not preclude the
exercise of, or act as a waiver of, any other right or remedy of Landlord
hereunder, or which may be existing at law, or in equity, or by statute, or
otherwise. In addition to the foregoing, Tenant, and its successor and assigns,
shall at all times indemnify Landlord for, defend Landlord against, and save
Landlord harmless from, any liability, loss, cost, injury, damage, or other
expense or risk whatsoever, directly or indirectly, arising out of, resulting

limitation, any representation, warranty, or covenant given or made by Tenant

required to deposit the Deficiency with Owner in the form of cash pursuant to
the Assignment and Pledge of Deposit Account Agreement or a letter of credit of

Amounts prior to the Lease Commencement Date. The parties hereby agree that if

to Owner, and a first priority security interest in the Personal Property.
Developers agrees to execute all necessary documents requested by Owner in order
to perfect Owner's security interest in the collateral hereunder. All rights

suspended while and so long as performance thereof is prevented or impeded. A
Force Majeure occurrence means, among other things, civil disturbances, riots,
fire, weather which is both severe and unusual, governmental action, war acts,
or acts of God, which occurrence is beyond the reasonable control of the party
from whom the performance was due (but does not include the failure to obtain

provided, however, that such party uses its best efforts and acts in good faith
to avoid or overcome the impediment.
17.2 Any delays in or failure of performance by either party arising
from a Force Majeure shall not constitute default hereunder or give rise to any
claim for damages if caused by and to the extent caused by Force Majeure
occurrences. The foregoing shall not be considered a waiver of either party's
obligations hereunder including the obligation of the Developers to fund excess
costs as provided in SECTION 5.A of the Agreement, nor shall it apply to the
payment of monies due for services already performed or materials purchased nor
for those activities to be continued during the Force Majeure occurrence. Any
excess costs arising due to Force Majeure will be defined as Excess Project
Costs for the purposes of Section 21.2 of the Lease.
17.3 In the event of such Force Majeure occurrences, an equitable
adjustment shall be made in the Substantial Completion Date or Final Completion
Date, as the case may be, but in no event shall the Substantial Completion Date
be extended for a period of more that sixty (60) days in the aggregate nor shall
the Final Completion Date be extended for more than sixty (60) days in the
aggregate.

19.0 EXPEDITING PROCUREMENT
----------------------
19.1 Upon request, Developers shall furnish Owner copies of all of
Developers' purchase orders and contracts or subcontracts for materials,
equipment, or services. In each instance where Developers is unable to furnish
third-party materials, equipment, or work at a rate which will permit Developers
to meet the schedule and/or any of the completion dates, and if Developers is
then or thereby becomes in Default under this Agreement, Developers shall
immediately give Owner written notice of such circumstances. Owner, or its
authorized representative, shall have the option to expedite the purchase and
delivery of such items to the extent the Consulting Engineer reasonably
certifies that such action is necessary to complete the Work by the Substantial
Completion Date. Developers' purchase orders shall contain a clause informing
its suppliers of this option. Should Owner be required to purchase any items
which should have been furnished by Developers, Owner shall deduct from the
Contract Sum any such items plus any reasonable transportation expenses and
administrative costs in connection therewith.
19.2 Expediting by Owner of Developers' suppliers, Contractors and
Subcontractors shall not relieve Developers of its duty to expedite its own
purchase orders, and that of its Contractors and Subcontractors nor shall it
relieve Developers from any other obligations.

20.1 Developers, but not the Owner, may request that changes be made in
the Work; provided, however, that the Developers can make change orders for up
to $10,000 per change order, but not more than $70,000 in the aggregate, without
the prior written consent of Owner. Such request from Developers to Owner shall
specify the change in plans, specifications, procedures, time, sequence, or
other requirements of this Agreement, and specify whether such change will delay
the completion of the Work beyond the Substantial Completion Date. Developers
agrees that to the extent there are any deficiencies in the Plans and
Specifications in order to meet the requirements for a Certificate of Occupancy
and operation of the Project as a personal care home providing assisted living
services, the Developers shall be responsible for all costs associated with any
necessary changes to the Plans and Specifications and the Work.
20.2 No adjustment in price or time of performance shall be made for
changes in arrangement, aesthetics, substitution of equivalent materials or
equipment or other changes, unless such changes materially increase or reduce
Developers' cost of performing the Work or extend the time that Developers'
equipment and forces are required to be engaged in performing the Work.
20.3 INTENTIONALLY OMITTED
20.4 The method of determining the equitable adjustment shall be
specified, and, if possible, the price fixed at the time of the issuance of
written direction for the change. Unless a lump sum or other method of pricing
is established by agreement, Owner may direct determination of the equitable
adjustment in price, whether an increase or decrease, by any of the following
methods: (a) agreed or established fixed unit prices, or (b) cost.
20.5 If the cost method is directed by Owner, the adjustment will be
based on the cost of the change in the Work using the formula established in
this Agreement, or if not established herein, by other agreement.
20.6 In the absence of agreement, Developers shall be paid all actual,
direct additional costs incurred, without allocation of general and
administrative expense. The costs from any Contractors or Subcontractors must be

21.5 It shall be the exclusive responsibility of Developers to cause
its Contractors and Subcontractors to comply in full with the requirements of
this Article.
22.0 PARTIAL OCCUPANCY AND USE
-------------------------
Owner shall have the right to take possession of any substantially
completed portion of the Work so long as Owner has accepted such portion of the
Work as satisfying Substantial Completion and any such possession shall not
hinder timely completion of the Work. Such partial occupancy and use shall not
imply final acceptance by Owner of such portion nor shall it relieve Developers
of the obligation to complete all of the Work strictly in accordance with the
requirements of this Agreement.
23.0 COOPERATION WITH OTHERS
-----------------------
23.1 Developers and Owner shall fully cooperate with the Design
Professionals, Consulting Engineer and all Contractors and Subcontractors on the

Authorities. All Work covered prior to inspection shall be uncovered and exposed
by Developers for inspection on request of Owner; provided that the cost of such
inspection, uncovering and (if applicable) remediation shall be borne by
Developers if the results of such inspection disclose that the Work fails to
comply the Plans and Specifications and Governmental Requirements; otherwise
Owner shall bear such cost.
25.3 For inspection of materials, equipment, or work away from Jobsite,
where specified, it is Developers' responsibility to notify Owner in a

produced or performed, and when they will be ready for inspection.
25.4 Inspection by Owner or its agents, shall not relieve Developers
from its responsibility of furnishing materials, equipment, and work strictly in
accordance with the Drawings and Specifications; nor shall it relieve Developers
from its responsibilities and guarantees for materials, equipment and
workmanship. Neither shall such inspection, interim or final, nor failure to
detect defective materials, equipment, or workmanship constitute acceptance of
such materials, equipment, or workmanship. Furthermore, payment to Developers by
Owner shall not constitute acceptance.
25.5 Owner reserves the right to waive inspection at any time or point
without prejudice to its right, at its own cost, to pass on acceptability of
materials, equipment and work at a later time.
25.6 Developers acknowledges that the Inspection Fee for Owner's

Owner and attached hereto as EXHIBIT K and shall obtain Owner's written approval
prior to making any changes therein that would materially change the contract,
except for items related to insurance and indemnification, which shall not be
changed. Contracting of any nature by Developers shall not relieve Developers of
its duties, obligations, responsibilities, guarantees, or liabilities under this
Agreement or create any contractual relationship between Contractors and
Subcontractors and Owner.
28.2 The Developers and Owner agree that neither will use the name of
the other in any advertising or publicity of any kind without the other party's
prior approval, except that Owner or Developers may identify Developers, Owner

INTENTIONALLY DELETED
30.0 TERMINATION FOR CAUSE
---------------------
30.1 Should the Developers (i) fail in any respect to prosecute the
Work with promptness and diligence, all in Owner's reasonable judgment,
following ten (10) business days written notice from Owner, setting forth in
reasonable detail such failure or (ii) become bankrupt or insolvent or go or be
put into liquidation or dissolution, either voluntarily, or involuntarily, or
petition for an arrangement or reorganization under the Federal Bankruptcy Code,
or make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise
acknowledge insolvency (and, in the case of involuntary bankruptcy action, if
such filing or petition is not discharged within 90 days) or should a Default
under ARTICLE 36 occur:
15
<PAGE> 46
a. Owner may take whatever action it deems reasonably necessary to
cure such default and charge the entire cost thereof to the Developers in which
event said cost shall be deducted from any monies due or to become due to the
Developers under this Agreement. Owner will have no obligation to provide notice
of default or allow for any cure period other than as specifically set forth in
this Agreement; or
b. Owner may, at its election, terminate the Work of the
Developers temporarily, partially or completely, and take over the same,
including all materials, tools, and equipment to the Jobsite, and complete the
Work. If this occurs, the Developers shall not be entitled to receive any
further payment until the Work hereunder shall have been wholly finished. If the
costs, expenses, losses, damages, reasonable attorneys fees and other charges,
together with all payments theretofore made to or for the account of the
Developers, shall exceed the sum which would have been payable under this
Agreement if the Work had been performed and completed by Developers, the
Developers shall pay the amount of the excess to Owner. Developers shall be
entitled to payment for Work completed pursuant to this Agreement prior to its
default hereunder, provided, however, that if the cost of completion of the Work
by Owner is less than the unpaid portion of the Contract Sum, the Owner will not
be responsible to pay any monies in excess of any sums advanced to complete the
Work; or
c. Owner may terminate the Agreement and pursue all available
legal and equitable remedies (except provisions which relate to Developers'
warranty and indemnity obligations hereunder which shall survive such
termination).
d. Notwithstanding the above terms of Article 30.1, upon written
notice provided to Owner not more than ninety (90) days, but not less than
fifteen (15) days, prior to the Substantial Completion Date, Developers may
extend the Substantial Completion Date (and thereby the Final Completion Date)
by six (6) months (180 days) (the "Extended Completion Date") provided (i) on
the first day of the six month extension period and on each of the next five (5)
thirty day anniversaries thereafter, Developers shall make those payments of
Base Rent (as defined under the Lease) and Additional Rent (as defined under the
Lease) to Owner which would be required of Developers (as defined under the
Lease) if the Lease were then in effect; (ii) no Default exists on the first day
of the six (6) month extension period; and (iii) up to $180,000 of the Letter of
Credit in total may be used to fund such lease payments. Upon receipt of any
notice of extension from Developers, Owner agrees to promptly calculate and
inform Developers of all amounts due under this Section 30.1(d); Developers
agrees to pay all amount due hereunder within five (5) days of receipt of such
calculation. The parties acknowledge that Owner will incur additional costs and
expenses and will lose significant revenues as a result of Developers' failure
to timely perform hereunder. Accordingly, the parties agree that this provision
is intended to compensate Owner and is not intended as a penalty. If Developers
exercises their rights under this Section and makes draws under the Letter of
Credit then the provisions of Section 27 of the Agreement shall apply as to the
restoration of the Letter of Credit to $625,000 less any Start-Up Cost Amounts.
16
<PAGE> 47
Notwithstanding the above, Developers shall have the right to provide
such extension notice to Owner at any time where the Consulting Engineer shall
certify to Owner that the Work is not capable of Final Completion by the Final
Completion Date.

equipment or otherwise protect the Owner's interest, including applicable
insurance.
32.3.3 The Developers warrants that title to all Work, materials,
services and equipment covered by an Application for Payment will pass to the
Owner either by incorporation in the construction or upon the receipt of payment
by the Developers, whichever occurs first, free and clear of all liens, claims,

equipment covered by an Application for Payment will have been acquired by the
Developers, or by any other person performing Work at the site or furnishing
materials and equipment for the Project, subject to an agreement under which an
interest therein or an encumbrance thereon is retained by the seller or
otherwise imposed by the Developers or such other person.
32.4 CERTIFICATE FOR PAYMENT.
32.4.1 On all Applications for Payment of Hard Costs, Consulting
Engineer will, within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of the Developers'
Application for Payment, either issue a "Certificate for Payment" to the Owner,

the Owner in writing (the "Notice of Denial") his reasons for withholding a
Certificate of Payment as provided in Subparagraph 32.6.1, in each case
providing a copy of such Certificate for Payment or Notice of Denial to
Developers.
32.4.2 The issuance of a Certificate for Payment will constitute a
representation by the Consulting Engineer to the Owner, based on his
observations at the Jobsite and the data comprising the Application for Payment,
that the Work has progressed to the point indicated; that, to the best of his
knowledge, information and belief, the quality of the Work is in accordance with
the Contract Documents subject to an evaluation of the Work for conformance with
the Contract Documents upon Substantial Completion, to the results of any
subsequent tests required by or performed under the Contract Documents, and to
minor deviations from the Contract Documents correctable prior to completion)
and that the Developers is entitled to payment in the amount certified. However,
by issuing a Certificate for Payment, the Consulting Engineer shall not thereby
be deemed to represent that he has made exhaustive or continuous on-site
inspections to check the quality or quantity of the Work or that he has reviewed
the construction means, methods,
18
<PAGE> 49
techniques, sequences or procedures, or that he has made any examination to
ascertain how or for what purpose the Developers has used the moneys previously
paid on account of the Contract Sum.
32.4.3 No Certificate of Payment shall be necessary for
Applications for Payment of Soft Costs, which shall be paid by Owner in the
manner and within the time provided below.
32.4.4 Notwithstanding anything contained herein, if at any time,
the Consulting Engineer denies issuance of a Certificate of Payment based upon
inclusion of particular items, Developers may accept payment of nondisputed
items and withdraw its request for Payment only as it relates to disputed items.
Developers may resubmit disputed requests for Payments or withdraw requests for
Payment.
32.5 PROGRESS PAYMENTS.
32.5.1 After the Consulting Engineer has issued a Certificate for
Payment, the Owner shall make payment in the manner and within the time provided
below. Owner shall not be required to make any payments hereunder unless
Developers simultaneously delivers to Owner a lien release covering the period
related to such payment (which release may be conditional upon the receipt of
payment), together with lien releases from all persons and entities providing
labor services or materials to the Project through the date of the previous
payments, together with such affidavits as Owner may require pursuant to the
Pennsylvania construction lien laws, and otherwise satisfies the requirements of
this Agreement.
32.5.2 The Developers shall promptly pay all Design Professionals,
Contractors and Subcontractors, upon receipt of payment from the Owner, out of
the amount paid to the Developers on account of such Design Professional's,
Contractor's or Subcontractor's work, the amount to which said Design
Professional, Contractor or Subcontractor is entitled, reflecting the percentage
actually retained, if any, from payments to the Developers on account of such
Contractor's or Subcontractor's work. The Developers shall, by an appropriate
agreement with each Design Professional, Contractor or Subcontractor, require
each Design Professional, Contractor or Subcontractor to make payments to his
subcontractors in a similar manner.
32.5.3 No Certificate for a Payment, nor any Payment, nor any
partial or entire use or occupancy of the Project by the Owner, shall constitute
final acceptance of any Work not in accordance with the Contract Documents.
32.5.4 Based upon Applications for Payment submitted to the Owner
by the Developers and Certificates for Payment issued by the Consulting
Engineer, if applicable, the Owner shall make progress payments on account of
the Contract Sum to the Developers as provided below and elsewhere in the

19
<PAGE> 50

(15th) day of a month, the Owner shall make payment of any undisputed portion to
the Developers not later than the fifteenth (15th) day of the following month.
If an Application for Payment is received by the Owner after the application
date fixed above, payment of any undisputed portion shall be made by the Owner
not later than thirty (30) days after the receipt of such Application for
Payment.
32.5.7 Each Application for Payment shall be based upon the
Budget, as may be reallocated from time to time as provided herein.
32.5.8 Applications for Payment shall indicate the percentage of
completion of each portion of the Work as of the end of the period covered by
the Application for Payment.
32.5.9 Subject to the provisions of the Contract Documents, the
amount of each progress payment shall be computed as follows:
32.5.9.1 Take that portion of the Contract Sum properly allocable
to completed Work as determined by multiplying the percentage completion of each
portion of the Work by the share of the total Contract Sum allocated to that
portion of the Work in the Budget, less the appropriate Retainage. Pending final
determination of cost to the Owner of changes in the Work, amounts not in
dispute may be included as provided in Article 20 of the General Conditions even
though the Contract Sum has not yet been adjusted by Change Order.
32.5.9.2 Add that portion of the Contract Sum properly allocable
to materials and equipment delivered and suitably stored for subsequent
incorporation in the completed construction if approved in advance by the Owner,
less the appropriate Retainage.
32.5.9.3 Subtract the aggregate of previous payments made by the
Owner; and
32.5.9.4 Subtract amounts, if any, for which the Owner has
withheld Payment or the Consulting Engineer has withheld or nullified a
Certificate for Payment, as provided in Paragraph 32.6 of the General
Conditions.
32.6 PAYMENTS WITHHELD.
32.6.1 The Owner may withhold payment on any Application for
Payment of Soft Costs if in Owner's judgment the Payment is not properly due
hereunder. The Consulting Engineer may decline to certify payment and may
withhold his Certificate of Payment in whole or in part, to the extent
reasonably necessary to protect the Owner, if in his opinion he is unable to
make representations to the Owner as provided in Subparagraph 32.4.2. If the
Consulting Engineer is unable to make representations to the Owner as provided
in
20
<PAGE> 51
Subparagraph 32.4.2 and to certify payments in the amount of the Application,
he will notify the Developers as provided in Subparagraph 32.4. If the
Developers and the Consulting Engineer cannot agree on a revised amount, the
Consulting Engineer will promptly issue a Certificate for Payment for the amount
for which he is able to make such representations to the Owner. The Consulting
Engineer may also decline to certify payment or, because of subsequently
discovered evidence or subsequent observations, he may nullify the whole or any
part of any Certificate for Payment previously issued, to such extent as may be
necessary in his opinion to protect the Owner from loss because of:
a. defective Work not remedied,
b. failure of the Developers to make payments properly to Design
Professionals, or to Contractors and Subcontractors or to make payments for
labor, materials or equipment, or
c. reasonable evidence that the Work cannot be completed for the
unpaid balance of the Contract Sum on or before the Final Completion Date.
32.6.2 When the above grounds in Subparagraph 32.6.1 are removed
(including payments by Developers pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement),
payment shall be made for amounts withheld because of them, unless Owner has
elected to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the rights herein granted in the
event of a Default by Developers.
32.7 FAILURE OF PAYMENT.
32.7.1 If the Owner does not pay the Developers within seven (7)
days after the date
established in the Contract Documents any undisputed amounts certified by the
Consulting Engineer, then the Developers may, upon seven (7) additional days
written notice to the Owner, stop the Work until payment of the amount owing has
been received. In addition, if such failure is caused by Owner, then Owner shall
be obligated to increase the Contract Sum for any costs associated with such
delay plus an amount equal to the then current Prime Rate as announced in the
Wall Street Journal plus 2% on such increase for the period from the end of such
initial 7-day period and extend the Substantial Completion Date and Extended
Completion Date, if applicable, for each day that Work has been stopped.
32.8 SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION.
32.8.1 When the Developers considers that Substantial Completion
of the Work has occurred, the Developers shall prepare for submission to the
Owner a list of items to be completed or corrected (the "Punchlist"). The
failure to include any items on such Punchlist does not alter the responsibility
of the Developers to complete all Work in accordance with the Contract
Documents. The Consulting Engineer will conduct an inspection within twenty days
of Developers' submission of the Punchlist, and upon Consulting Engineer's
determination that Substantial Completion of the Work has occurred, he will then
prepare a Certificate of Substantial Completion which shall establish the date
of Substantial Completion, and shall assess costs to complete each Punchlist
item (the "Punchlist Costs").
21
<PAGE> 52
32.8.2 Upon Substantial Completion of the Work and upon
application by the Developers
and certification by the Consulting Engineer, the Owner shall make payment, if
any, for such Work or portion thereof, as provided in the Contract Documents,
subject to Developers' obligation to provide lien releases and affidavits as
required hereunder, provided, however, that Owner may retain the lesser of the
applicable portion of Retainage or the amount which is two (2) times the
Punchlist Costs with respect to such portion of the Work.
32.9 FINAL COMPLETION.
32.9.1 Upon receipt of written notice from Developers that the
Work has reached Final Completion and is ready for final inspection and
acceptance and upon receipt of a final Application for Payment, the Consulting
Engineer will within twenty days of Owner's receipt of such written notice make
such inspection and make a determination whether Final Completion of the Project
has occurred.
32.9.2 Neither the Final Payment (as defined below) nor the
remaining retained percentage shall become due until the Developers submits to
the Consulting Engineer: (1) an affidavit that all payrolls, bills for materials
and equipment, and other indebtedness connected with the Work for which the
Owner or his property might in any way be responsible, have been paid or
otherwise satisfied; (2) consent of surety, if any, to final payment; (3) all
Contract Documents, including a complete set of as-built and record documents;
(4) such other data as the Owner reasonably may require establishing payment or
satisfaction of all obligations of the Developers in connection with the Work
including receipts of final satisfaction and releases and waivers of liens and
releases of any and all claims by the Contractors and Subcontractors, conforming
in all material respects with the laws of the state where the Project is located
and evidencing performance of the Work in accordance with the Contract
Documents; (5) a release of the Owner and any of its insurers who have insured
the Project or any aspect thereof from and against any claims (except to the
extent of any claims theretofore timely filed which are owing but unpaid) and a
release of the Owner from and against any claims between the Developers and a
separate contractor; (6) any governmental certificates required by the Contract

Contractor or Subcontractor refuses to furnish a release or waiver required by
the Owner, the Developers may furnish a bond satisfactory to the Owner to
indemnify him against any such lien. If such lien remains unsatisfied after all
Payments are made, the Developers shall refund to the Owner all moneys that the
latter may be compelled to pay in discharging such lien, including all costs and
reasonable attorneys fees.

a Delaware corporation (the "MANAGEMENT FIRM") have entered into that certain
Management Agreement dated as of March 31, 1998 (the "MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT")
whereby the Company has appointed the Management Firm as the exclusive manager
and operator of the Facility; and
WHEREAS, BCC, Optionor and the Company have entered into that
certain Shortfall Funding Agreement dated as of March 31, 1998 (the "SHORTFALL
AGREEMENT") whereby, among other matters, BCC has agreed to fund certain
Shortfalls by making loans to the Company, as more fully provided in the
Shortfall Agreement; and
WHEREAS, BCC is willing to enter into the Shortfall Agreement,
and all other Transaction Documents of which BCC is a party, only if Optionor
executes and delivers an option agreement whereby BCC or its successors and
assigns may acquire all of the Equity Interests of the Optionor, on the terms
and conditions provided herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound
hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. GRANT OF OPTION/CONSIDERATION. (a) Optionor hereby grants
to BCC an option (the "OPTION") to purchase all of Optionor's right, title and
interest in and to the Equity Interests on the terms and conditions provided
herein. The Purchase Price for the Equity Interests shall be paid to Optionor on
the Closing Date in immediately available funds. The Option shall be exercisable
by providing written notice to Optionor on or before the ninth anniversary after
the date of this Agreement (the "OPTION TERM").
(b) In consideration of the grant of the Option to BCC, BCC
shall make the following payments (the "OPTION PAYMENTS") to Optionor: (1) on
the earlier of one day after the issuance of the certificate of occupancy for
the Facility or twelve months following the closing of construction financing
under the Development Agreement (the "First Payment Date"), an amount
<PAGE> 2
equal to the Current Yield (as hereinafter defined) on the Working Capital
Reserve actually funded by Optionor through such date, payable in arrears for
the period commencing on such funding date or dates through the First Payment
Date, plus an amount equal to the Current Yield on the Working Capital Reserve
actually funded by Optionor through such date for the next succeeding 12 month
period, payable in advance, (2) on that date which is twelve months after the
First Payment Date (the "Second Payment Date"), an amount calculated as 25% of
the Current Yield on the Working Capital Reserve actually funded by the Optionor
through such date, representing the first quarterly installment of the annual
Current Yield for the following 12 month period, payable in advance, and (3)
thereafter, on the first day of each three-month period following the Second
Payment Date and for so long as this Agreement is in effect (but ending in all
events at the time of exercise of the Option), 25% of the Current Yield on the
Working Capital Reserve actually funded from time to time by the Optionor,
compounded on an annual basis, representing quarterly installments of the annual
Current Yield, payable in advance. "Current Yield" as used in this Agreement
means an annual return equal to 27.5% of the Working Capital Reserve actually
funded from time to time through the date of such calculation. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Option is exercised, BCC's
obligation to make Option Payments thereafter shall cease. Option Payments shall
be made to Optionors without demand or notice, except as expressly provided
herein.
(c) Until BCC provides written notice of its exercise of the
Option, BCC shall be under no obligation whatsoever to purchase the Equity
Interests or exercise the Option, and shall not otherwise have any liability
whatsoever hereunder in connection with Option Payments or the purchase of the
Equity Interests.
(d) The "PURCHASE PRICE" as used herein shall mean (i) an
amount equal to the Working Capital Reserve actually funded by the Optionor
under the Shortfall Agreement, plus (ii) an amount calculated as the Current
Yield on the Working Capital Reserve actually funded by the Optionor under the
Shortfall Agreement, compounded annually through the Closing Date (as defined
below), plus (iii) the aggregate amount of all Advances and all other
obligations due and payable by the Company or the Optionor to BCC or a BCC
Affiliate under the Transaction Documents through the Closing Date (exclusive of
the Management Fee under the Management Agreement), minus (iv) any Option
Payments. The aggregate amount of all Advances and all other obligations due and
payable by the Company or the Optionor through the Closing Date to BCC or a BCC
Affiliate under the Transaction Documents as provided in Subsection (iii) of
this Section 1(d), shall be paid to BCC or the BCC Affiliate (as appropriate) on
the Closing Date from the Purchase Price. To avoid any doubt, BCC shall receive
a credit against the Purchase Price for Option Payments paid as Current Yield in
advance, to the extent that such advanced Option Payments are attributable to
Current Yield accruing after the Closing Date.
2. CLOSING. (a) The closing of the purchase of the Equity
Interests (the "CLOSING"), pursuant to the exercise of the Option, shall take
place at such time and location in Pennsylvania as shall be designated by BCC
upon three (3) days prior written notice to Optionor (the "CLOSING DATE"). At
the Closing (i) BCC shall deliver the Purchase Price and (ii) Optionor shall
deliver to BCC (A) the certificates representing the original Equity Interests,
together with such powers and other instruments as BCC may request and (B) the
certificate of an appropriate officer of the Company stating that the transfer
of the Equity Interests to BCC has been recorded on the books and records of the
Company, and affirming to BCC such additional matters as BCC may reasonably
request. Additionally, both BCC and Optionor shall take such further actions and
execute and deliver such further documents and instruments as either party may
reasonably
2
<PAGE> 3
request. The Equity Interests shall be transferred to BCC free and clear of all
Liens and restrictions of any kind or nature, except for Liens in favor of BCC
as expressly provided herein and Liens in favor of Lessor as expressly provided
in the Lease.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein
or in the other Transaction Documents and without in any way implying that such
actions are permissible under the Transaction Documents, if and to the extent
that the funding of the Working Capital Reserve is advanced in the form of a
loan to the Company (such advances, together with all interest, penalties and
other costs and fees assessed or incurred in connection therewith, are referred
to herein as the "BORROWINGS"), the Borrowings shall be repaid in full from the
Purchase Price at the Closing. Optionor shall give BCC prior written notice
before authorizing the Company to make any Borrowings, detailing the amount
thereof. BCC shall have the right at the Closing to pay to the holder of any
note evidencing Borrowings from the Purchase Price the total amount outstanding
with respect to the Borrowings.
3. COVENANTS OF OPTIONOR/LEGEND/PLEDGE. (a) Optionor shall
not (i) sell, assign, convey, pledge (except as expressly provided herein),
encumber or otherwise transfer (by operation of law or otherwise) any of
Optionor's rights, title or interest under, in or to the Equity Interests, (ii)
cause or permit the Company to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate, change
its capital structure, issue new or substitute Equity Interests (including the
issuance of warrants) or sell, convey, assign or otherwise transfer all or any
portion of the Company's assets or (iii) cause or permit the Company to
otherwise take any action that with the passage of time and/or the giving of
notice would constitute a default under or a breach of any covenant or provision
of the Shortfall Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.
(b) Optionor shall cause the Company to place the following
legend on all certificates representing Equity Interests:
THE INTERESTS REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO
AN OPTION TO PURCHASE IN FAVOR OF BALANCED CARE CORPORATION
AND ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, AS MORE FULLY SET FORTH IN
THAT CERTAIN OPTION AGREEMENT DATED AS OF MARCH 31, 1998.
(c) To secure the obligations of the Optionor hereunder,
Optionor hereby grants and pledges to BCC a first priority lien and security
interest in the Equity Interests. Such pledge shall be further memorialized by
the Pledge Agreement. For purposes of perfecting the security interest in the
Equity Interests, Optionor shall deliver herewith to BCC possession of all
certificates, instruments, documents and other evidence of Optionor's ownership
of the Equity Interests accompanied by undated powers of attorney or other
appropriate duly executed blank transfer powers. Optionor shall take such
further actions, and execute such further documents, as may be requested by BCC
to effect the pledge and grant of a security interest in the Equity Interests.
(d) In addition to the other covenants stated herein, each
Optionor covenants and agrees that each Optionor shall not, and shall not cause
the Company to, without the prior written consent of BCC: (i) except as
otherwise expressly permitted under the Transaction Documents or the Lease
Documents, create or suffer to exist any Lien or any other type of preferential
arrangement, upon or with respect to any of the properties of Optionor or the

Company, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or assign any right to receive
income, (ii) make any distribution of cash or other property or declare or pay
any dividend or distribution on any securities issued by the Company or Optionor

venture or enter into any agreement with respect to any business venture, except
as expressly provided in the Transaction Documents and the Lease Documents with
respect to the Facility, (iv) except as otherwise expressly permitted under the

series of transactions) any of the assets of Optionor or the Company (whether
now owned or hereafter acquired) to, or acquire all or substantially all of the
assets of, any person or Entity, (v) create, assume, guaranty or otherwise
become or remain obligated in respect of, or permit or suffer to exist or to be
created, assumed or incurred or to be outstanding, any Indebtedness, except as
expressly provided in the Lease Documents or the Transaction Documents, (vi)

or other similar agreement with any party relating to the provision of
administrative or management service for the benefit of either Optionor or the
Company.

Exhibit 10.49
FORM OF SHORTFALL FUNDING AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT ("AGREEMENT") is made as of March 31, 1998, by
and among __________________________________________, a Delaware limited
liability company (the "LESSEE"), the members of Lessee listed on Schedule A
attached hereto (collectively, the "MEMBER") and Balanced Care Corporation, a
Delaware corporation ("BCC").
W I T N E S S E T H
WHEREAS, the Member constitutes the holder of all equity
interests in the Lessee; and
WHEREAS, Lessee executed and delivered the Lease dated as of
March 31, 1998 (the "LEASE") between Lessee and ______________________, a
Florida corporation (the "LESSOR"), whereby Lessee leased from Lessor property,
together with all improvements built or to be built thereon, located in
______________________________ as more fully described in the Lease (the
"PROPERTY"); and
WHEREAS, the Lessee and ___________________________________,
a Delaware corporation (the "MANAGEMENT FIRM") have entered into that certain
Management Agreement dated as of March 31, 1998 (the "MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT")
whereby Lessee has appointed the Management Firm as the exclusive manager and
operator the Facility; and
WHEREAS, Lessee will initially deposit with Lessor cash into a
collateral account (the "Collateral Account"), then thereafter a standby letter
of credit, as provided herein and the Development Agreement, to fund the Working
Capital Reserve (to be used to fund Shortfalls) for the benefit of Lessor; and
WHEREAS, upon depletion of the Working Capital Reserve, BCC
intends to make Advances to the Lessee, on the terms and conditions herein
stated, to fund continuing Shortfalls; and
WHEREAS, BCC is willing to fund Advances to Lessee covering
Shortfalls only on the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound
hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
FUNDING SHORTFALLS
SECTION 1.01 FUNDING; CAPITALIZATION OF LESSEE; WORKING
CAPITAL RESERVE. (a) Each Member (jointly and severally if more than one) hereby
agrees to contribute as capital to the Lessee the following capital
contributions:
(i) On the date hereof the Member shall deposit into the
Collateral Account the sum of ________, and
<PAGE> 2
(ii) on or before April 30, 1998 the Member shall deliver to
Lessor (against return of the amounts deposited into the Collateral Account
pursuant to Section 1.03(a)(i) above) a standby letter of credit naming Lessor
(and such other parties as Lessor may request) as the beneficiary(ies)
thereunder (the "LETTER OF CREDIT"), which Letter of Credit must be in form and
substance satisfactory to BCC (the deposit into the Collateral Account pursuant
to Section 1.03(a)(i) and the issuance and delivery of such Letter of Credit by
the Members being a "FUNDING", and the aggregate of all Fundings made, being a
maximum amount of $_______), is collectively referred to as the "WORKING CAPITAL
RESERVE"). The Letter of Credit shall be in the amount of $_______, representing
the full Working Capital Reserve to be funded hereunder, which amount includes
the initial Funding of $_______ pursuant to Section 1.03(a)(i) above.
Time is of the essence with respect to each contribution described in this
Section 1.01(a).
(b) The contributions described in Section 1.01(a)(i) shall be
made directly into the Collateral Account. Upon delivery the Letter of Credit as
provided in Section 1.01(a)(ii), the unused portion of contributions provided
Section 1.03(a)(i) shall be returned by Lessor to the Members as provided in the
Lease Documents; provided, however, BCC shall have no liability whatsoever
(absent the negligent or willful acts or omissions of BCC) for the return of
such contributions.
(c) In the event that the Member defaults in the timely
payment of Fundings into the Working Capital Reserve as provided in Section
1.01(a), BCC shall have the right at any time thereafter, but not the
obligation, to require that the Member sell all of the Equity Interests to BCC
or its designee in the manner provided for in the Option Agreement; provided,
however, the purchase price for the Equity Interests shall be the amount of
Fundings actually made by the Member into the Collateral Account, plus an amount
calculated on a pro-rata basis as 27.5% per annum of the amount of the Working
Capital Reserve from the date of the Funding or Fundings through the date of
Closing. In such event, all terms and conditions of the sale applicable to the
Option shall be equally applicable to the sale under this Section 1.01(c), and
the failure by the Member to close on such sale within 3 days after written
notice from BCC (time being of the essence) shall constitute an Event of
Default.
(d) The Member and the Lessee acknowledge and agree that (i)
each Funding constitutes the capital contribution of the Member to the Lessee,
(ii) each Funding is not in any way to be construed as Indebtedness of Lessee
nor to be construed as evidence of a loan from any Member to the Lessee and
(iii) Lessor and the Management Firm may (without notice to Lessee or Member,
and whether acting alone or together) withdraw funds from the Working Capital
Reserve to fund Shortfalls with respect to the Facility as provided in the
Transaction Documents and the Lease Documents.
SECTION 1.02 ADVANCES. Upon complete depletion of the Working
Capital Reserve, and to the extent thereafter of any Shortfall, BCC hereby
agrees to advance from time to time funds to the Lessee upon no less than three
(3) days prior written notice, upon the terms and conditions provided herein
(each advance being an "ADVANCE" and collectively, the "ADVANCES"). Advances
shall be evidenced by one or more promissory notes issued by the Lessee in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "NOTES"). The Notes shall mature on the
2
<PAGE> 3
anniversary of the fifth year after issuance of the first Note issued under this
Agreement. Interest shall accrue on the Notes at the rate of 2% over the Prime
Rate as announced from time to time in the Wall Street Journal (or, in the event
of the discontinuance of the publishing of the Prime Rate in the Wall Street
Journal, such other source as the parties may agree), and shall be payable in
arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter. All sums owed under the Notes
and hereunder to BCC, and all other obligations and covenants under the
Transaction Documents applicable to Lessee and the Member (including the
obligations of each Member under the Option Agreement), together with all
interest payable under the Transaction Documents and all other costs and
expenses payable by Lessee or any Member to or for the benefit of BCC or any BCC
Affiliate (including indemnification and defense obligations) are referred to
herein as the "OBLIGATIONS". Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained in the Transaction Documents, the provisions of this Section 1.02, and
any Notes issued hereunder, shall be subject in all respects to the terms and
conditions of Section 7(c) of the Option Agreement.
SECTION 1.03 ASSET PURCHASE OPTION. a) The Lessee and the
Member hereby grant to BCC an option (the "ASSET PURCHASE OPTION") to purchase
all of the assets of the Lessee (including the option to take an assignment of
the Lease) for the Asset Purchase Price. The Asset Purchase Option may be
exercised by BCC by providing written notice to the Lessee at any time during
the term of the Lease. The closing of the purchase of the assets of the Lessee
shall take place within 30 days after BCC exercises the Asset Purchase Option at
such location in Pennsylvania as BCC may designate. At the closing of the asset
purchase, the Lessee shall transfer, assign and convey to BCC (or its designee)
all assets of Lessee, free and clear of all Liens and restrictions of any kind
or nature, except for Liens or restrictions in favor of the Lessor pursuant to
the Lease Documents or in favor of BCC pursuant to the Transaction Documents
(provided, however, Liens in favor of BCC securing Advances or other Obligations
shall be paid in full by Lessee and the Member at the closing of the asset
purchase). The Lessee (and the Member if requested by BCC) shall execute and
deliver at the closing of the asset purchase an assignment of lease (assigning
the Lease to the purchaser), a bill of sale conveying all other assets of the
Lessee and such other documents and instruments as BCC may reasonably request,
all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to BCC. The "ASSET PURCHASE
PRICE" as used herein shall mean (i) all amounts actually funded into the
Working Capital Reserve, plus (ii) an amount (calculated as a yearly return)
equal to 27.5% of the Working Capital Reserve actually funded through Fundings,
compounded annually through the closing date, plus (iii) the aggregate amount of
all Advances and all other Obligations due and payable by Lessee or the Member
to BCC or a BCC Affiliate through the closing date (exclusive of the Management
Fee), minus (iv) any payments made to the Member under the Option Agreement. To
avoid any doubt, BCC shall receive a credit against the Asset Purchase Price for
any payments made to the Member under the Option Agreement paid as Current Yield
in advance to the extent that such advance Option Payments are attributable to
Current Yield accruing after the closing date. All Advances and all other
Obligations due and payable by Lessee or the Member to BCC or a BCC Affiliate
through the closing date of the asset purchase shall be payable from the Asset
Purchase Price to BCC or the BCC Affiliate, as appropriate. Notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary contained in the Transaction Documents, the provisions
of this Section 1.03(a) shall be subject in all respects to the terms and
conditions of Section 7(c) of the Option Agreement.
(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained
herein or in any other Transaction Document, BCC agrees that the Asset Purchase
Option shall not be exercised unless
3
<PAGE> 4
(i) BCC or its designee is prohibited (by operation of law, or any other reason
other than the acts or omissions of BCC or any BCC Affiliate) from exercising
the Option to acquire the Equity Interests pursuant to the Option Agreement or
(ii) the Lessee or any Member is in Default of any covenant, agreement,
representation or warranty contained in this Agreement (except for a Default in
the payment of interest under the Notes) or the Option Agreement, which Default
was not caused by BCC or any BCC Affiliate.
SECTION 1.04 TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS. In addition to the Notes,
and to better secure the performance of Lessee hereunder and under the other
Transaction Documents, Lessee has executed and delivered the following:
(i) the Lease;
(ii) Open-End Leasehold Mortgage in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit B encumbering the Property in favor
of BCC (the "LEASEHOLD MORTGAGE"); and
(iii) such other documents, certificates,
affidavits and instrument as BCC may reasonably request.
In addition to the foregoing documents, each Member has
executed and delivered to BCC the Option Agreement (the
"OPTION AGREEMENT") substantially in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit C, whereby each Member has agreed that BCC shall
have an option to purchase the equity interest of each Member
in Lessee, on the terms and conditions provided therein.
SECTION 1.05 INTEREST PAYMENTS. In no event shall the amount
of interest due or payable pursuant to any Transaction Document exceed the
maximum rate of interest allowed by Law and, in the event any such payment is
inadvertently paid by the Lessee or the Member or inadvertently received by BCC
or any BCC Affiliate, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of
principal due to BCC or any BCC Affiliate. It is the express intention of the
parties hereto that neither the Lessee nor the Member pay to BCC, directly or
indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be
lawfully paid by the Lessee.
SECTION 1.06 INTENTION. It is the intention of BCC, each
Member and Lessee that (i) the Management Firm operate the Facility pursuant to
the Management Agreement and that Lessee act as a passive investor with respect
to the Facility, (ii) Lessee include on its financial statements all revenue and
losses with respect to the Facility during the term of this Agreement for
accounting purposes, and (iii) Advances made hereunder and all other obligations
of Lessee and the Members under the Transaction Documents be secured by the
Leasehold Mortgage, but subject to the rights of Lessor under the Lease,
regardless of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar proceedings
instituted by or against Lessee. BCC, each Member and Lessee agree to take no
position inconsistent with the intention of the parties as herein stated.

Management Agreement dated as of December 31, 1997 (the "MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT")
whereby Lessee has appointed the Management Firm as the exclusive manager and
operator the Facility; and
WHEREAS, Lessee will deposit with Lessor a standby letter of
credit to fund the Working Capital Reserve (to be used to fund Shortfalls) for
the benefit of Lessor; and
WHEREAS, upon depletion of the Working Capital Reserve, BCC
intends to make Advances to the Lessee, on the terms and conditions herein
stated, to fund continuing Shortfalls; and
WHEREAS, BCC is willing to fund Advances to Lessee covering
Shortfalls only on the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound
hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
FUNDING SHORTFALLS
SECTION 1.01 FUNDING; WORKING CAPITAL RESERVE. Each Member
hereby agrees to contribute as capital to the Lessee such amounts as are
required from time to time by BCC to fund Shortfalls; provided, however, the
contribution of the Members in the aggregate shall not exceed $750,000; and
provided, further, such capital contribution shall be made in the form of a
standby letter of credit naming Lessor as the beneficiary thereunder (the
"LETTER OF CREDIT"), which Letter of Credit must be in form and substance
satisfactory to BCC (the issuance and delivery of such Letter of Credit by the
Members being a "FUNDING", and the aggregate of all Fundings made is
collectively referred to as the "WORKING CAPITAL RESERVE"). Each Member and the
Lessee acknowledge and agree that (i) the Letter of Credit constitutes the
capital
<PAGE> 2
contribution of each Member to the Lessee, (ii) the Letter of Credit is not in
any way evidence of a loan from either Member to the Lessee and (iii) Lessor may
draw on the Letter of Credit to fund Shortfalls with respect to the Facility or
as otherwise provided in the Lease Documents.
SECTION 1.02 ADVANCES. Upon complete depletion of the Working
Capital Reserve, and to the extent thereafter of any Shortfall, BCC hereby
agrees to advance from time to time funds to the Lessee upon no less than three
(3) days prior written notice, upon the terms and conditions provided herein
(each advance being an "ADVANCE" and collectively, the "ADVANCES"). Advances
shall be evidenced by one or more promissory notes issued by the Lessee in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "NOTES"). The Notes shall be payable upon
demand. Interest shall accrue on the Notes at the rate of 2% over the Prime Rate
as announced from time to time in the Wall Street Journal (or, in the event of
the discontinuance of the publishing of the Prime Rate in the Wall Street
Journal, such other source as the parties may agree), and shall be payable in
arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter. All sums owed under the Notes
and hereunder to BCC, and all other obligations and covenants under the
Transaction Documents applicable to Lessee and the Member (including the
obligations of each Member under the Option Agreement), together with all
interest payable under the Transaction Documents and all other costs and
expenses payable by Lessee or any Member to or for the benefit of BCC or any BCC
Affiliate (including indemnification and defense obligations) are referred to
herein as the "OBLIGATIONS".
SECTION 1.03 ASSET PURCHASE OPTION. The Lessee and each Member
hereby grant to BCC an option (the "ASSET PURCHASE OPTION") to purchase all of
the assets of the Lessee (including the option to take an assignment of the
Lease) for the Asset Purchase Price. The Asset Purchase Option may be exercised
by BCC by providing written notice to the Lessee at any time during the term of
the Lease. The closing of the purchase of the assets of the Lessee shall take
place within 30 days after BCC exercises the Asset Purchase Option at such
location in Pennsylvania as BCC may designate. At the closing of the asset
purchase, the Lessee shall transfer, assign and convey to BCC (or its designee)
all assets of Lessee, free and clear of all Liens and restrictions of any kind
or nature, except for Liens or restrictions in favor of the Lessor pursuant to
the Lease Documents or in favor of BCC pursuant to the Transaction Documents
(provided, however, Liens in favor of BCC securing Advances or other Obligations
shall be paid in full by Lessee and each Member at the closing of the asset
purchase). The Lessee (and each Member if requested by BCC) shall execute and
deliver at the closing of the asset purchase an assignment of lease (assigning
the Lease to the purchaser), a bill of sale conveying all other assets of the
Lessee and such other documents and instruments as BCC may reasonably request,
all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to BCC. The "ASSET PURCHASE
PRICE" as used herein shall mean (i) all amounts funded into the Working Capital
Reserve (assuming full funding thereof as of the date hereof, which will equal
$750,000), plus (ii) an annual amount equal to 25% of the Working Capital
Reserve (assuming full funding thereof as of the date hereof, which will equal
$750,000), compounded annually through the closing date, plus (iii) the
aggregate amount of all Advances and all other Obligations due and payable by
Lessee or the Members to BCC or a BCC Affiliate through the closing date
(exclusive of the Management Fee), minus (iv) any payments made to the Members
under the Option Agreement. All Advances and all other Obligations due and
payable by Lessee or the Member to BCC or a BCC Affiliate through the closing
date of the asset purchase shall be payable from the Asset Purchase Price to BCC
or the BCC Affiliate, as appropriate.

and to better secure the performance of Lessee hereunder and under the other
Transaction Documents, Lessee has executed and delivered the following:
(i) the Lease;
(ii) Open-End Leasehold Mortgage in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit B encumbering the Property in favor of BCC
(the "LEASEHOLD MORTGAGE"); and
(iii) such other documents, certificates, affidavits
and instrument as BCC may reasonably request, including the
Working Capital Assurance Agreement between BCC and the Lessor
(the "WORKING CAPITAL ASSURANCE AGREEMENT").
In addition to the foregoing documents, each Member has
executed and delivered to BCC the Option Agreement (the
"OPTION AGREEMENT") substantially in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit C, whereby each Member has agreed that BCC shall
have an option to purchase the equity interest of each Member
in Lessee, on the terms and conditions provided therein.
SECTION 1.05 INTEREST PAYMENTS. In no event shall the amount
of interest due or payable pursuant to any Transaction Document exceed the
maximum rate of interest allowed by Law and, in the event any such payment is
inadvertently paid by the Lessee or the Member or inadvertently received by BCC
or any BCC Affiliate, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of
principal due to BCC or any BCC Affiliate. It is the express intention of the
parties hereto that neither the Lessee nor the Member pay to BCC, directly or
indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be
lawfully paid by the Lessee.
SECTION 1.06 INTENTION. It is the intention of BCC, each
Member and Lessee that (i) the Management Firm operate the Facility pursuant to
the Management Agreement and that Lessee act as a passive investor with respect
to the Facility, (ii) Lessee include on its financial statements all revenue and
losses with respect to the Facility during the term of this Agreement for
accounting purposes, and (iii) Advances made hereunder and all other obligations
of Lessee and the Members under the Transaction Documents be secured by the
Leasehold Mortgage, but subject to the rights of Lessor under the Lease,
regardless of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar proceedings
instituted by or against Lessee. BCC, each Member and Lessee agree to take no
position inconsistent with the intention of the parties as herein stated.

of BCC as provided herein, a BCC Affiliate or the Lessor ("PERMITTED LIENS"),
and the execution, delivery and performance by the Lessee of this Agreement and
the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party will neither result in

obligations, and the obligation of the Member, under this Agreement and the
other Transaction Documents shall be performed by the Lessee and the Member at

recognize that, in the event the Lessee or any Member fails to perform, observe

shall be entitled to temporary and permanent equitable relief in any such case
without the necessity of proving actual damages.
SECTION 8.07 BINDING EFFECT. This Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the Lessee, the Member and BCC and their

FORM OF WORKING CAPITAL ASSURANCE AGREEMENT
(______________________)
THIS AGREEMENT is made as of the _______________________, by and
between BALANCED CARE CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, with a principal
place of business at 5021 Louise Drive, Suite 200, Mechanicsburg, PA 17055
("BCC") and ______________________, a Florida corporation, with a principal
place of business at 1675 Palm Beach Lakes Blvd., West Palm Beach, FL 33401 (the
"Lessor").
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the Lessor and __________________________________________, a
Delaware limited liability company (the "Lessee") have agreed to enter into that
certain Lease Agreement, of even date herewith, relating to certain premises
located in _______________________________ (the "Lease") and all capitalized
terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings
as ascribed to such terms in the Lease; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to a Shortfall Funding Agreement dated of even date
herewith (the "Shortfall Agreement") between Lessee, the Members (as defined in
the Shortfall Agreement) and BCC, Lessee has deposited as of the date hereof in
a collateral bank account (the "Cash Collateral Account") for the benefit of
Lessor the sum of $_______ (the "Cash Collateral"), and will on or before April
30, 1998, cause to be issued and delivered to Lessor an irrevocable standby
letter of credit in the amount of $_______ (the "LC") for the benefit of Lessor
and payable to Lessor in form and issued by an institution satisfactory to
Lessor in its sole discretion (such LC to replace the initial funding in the
Cash Collateral Account and to increase the total amount of capital available
for Lessee to fund operations and pay sums owing to Lessor under the Lease and
other Lease Documents), which shall be used to fund operational losses
anticipated in connection with the Facility (the LC, together with sums
deposited in the Cash Collateral Account, are referred to herein as the "Working
Capital Reserve"); and
WHEREAS, BCC has agreed that, in the event that Lessor for any reason
whatsoever is unable to obtain funds pursuant to the LC or in the Cash
Collateral Account, or if the LC and Cash Collateral have been depleted, BCC
will unconditionally fund operational losses to the Lessee pursuant to the
Shortfall Agreement; and
WHEREAS, as additional security for the obligations of Lessee under the
Lease (the "Lease Obligations"), the Lessor has requested the execution and
delivery of this Agreement.
NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration paid by each of the
parties hereto to the other, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged and in
<PAGE> 2
consideration of the covenants and agreements set forth herein, the parties
hereto agree as follows:
1. (a) BCC unconditionally agrees to loan to the Lessee
sufficient funds, by means of working capital loans (collectively, the "Working
Capital Loans"), to pay and satisfy the amount by which the Lessee's cash
requirements to meet its obligations (including, without limitation, operating
expenses, debt service and the obligations of Lessee under the Lease) due and
payable during any month exceed the gross revenues received by the Lessee during
such month (the "Shortfall"). Working Capital Loans from BCC to Lessee shall be
made without regard to any default, breach of condition, bankruptcy of Lessee or
failure to satisfy any condition or obligation under the Shortfall Agreement.
BCC shall, without further direction, advance to the Lessee an amount equal to
the Shortfall within three (3) days after demand by Lessor or Lessee in the form
of Working Capital Loans so that the Lessee is able to meet all of its working
capital obligations (including, without limitation, the obligations of Lessee
under the Lease) when due. BCC acknowledges that the covenants and agreements
made hereunder by BCC are being made to induce the Lessor to enter into and
accept the Lease and enable the Lessee to fulfill its working capital
obligations, including, without limitation, the obligations of Lessee under the
Lease. Accordingly, it is expressly intended by BCC that the covenants and
agreements by BCC hereunder may be relied upon and enforced by the Lessor. In
furtherance of the foregoing, Lessor shall have the right to directly request
from BCC any advance needed to satisfy such Shortfalls, and upon such request
the same shall be funded by BCC.
(b) The obligations of BCC contained herein are absolute and
unconditional obligations to Lessor, and no provision herein or any other
agreement to which BCC is a party (including without limitation the Shortfall
Agreement) shall be construed to the contrary. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, should any conflict exist between the provisions of the
Shortfall Agreement and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this
Agreement shall control.
2. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth
herein, BCC's obligation to provide the Working Capital Loans, and advance
Shortfalls, to the Lessee shall not commence until such time as the full amount
to be deposited by Lessee in the Working Capital Reserve has been depleted, by
drawing down on the LC or by making withdrawals from the Cash Collateral
Account, as appropriate; provided, however, should funds in the Working Capital
Reserve available in the Cash Collateral Account or through drawing down on the
LC not be available to fund the working capital needs of Lessee for any reason
whatsoever, BCC shall nonetheless have the obligation to fund Shortfalls as
herein provided. When the working capital needs of Lessee require such action,
Lessor shall make demand to draw down on the LC or withdraw sums from the Cash
Collateral Account, as appropriate, until fully depleted to fund such working
capital needs of Lessee.
3. (a) The Lessor shall not amend, modify or otherwise alter the
Lease or any other Lease Document (as defined in Appendix 1 to the Shortfall
Agreement) without BCC's prior written consent, in each instance, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the
previous sentence, the obligations of BCC hereunder shall not be
2
<PAGE> 3
affected by the termination, discontinuance, release or modification of any
agreement from any endorser, surety or guarantor of the obligations of Lessee
under the Lease.
(b) In addition, the Lessor hereby covenants and agrees with
BCC that, except in connection with the exercise or any of its rights and/or
remedies under the Lease Documents, the Lessor shall not terminate the Lease
without the prior written consent of BCC, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
4. The obligations of BCC hereunder shall not be affected by any
change in the beneficial ownership of the Lessee or by reason of any disability
of the Lessee. This Agreement shall be in addition to any guaranty or other
security for the Lease Obligations, and it shall not be prejudiced or rendered
unenforceable by the invalidity of any such guaranty or security. This Agreement
shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if, at any
time, any payment of the Lease Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be
returned by the Lessor upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the
Lessee or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
5. Without limiting BCC's obligation to provide the Working
Capital Loans, upon the occurrence of any Default under any of the Lease
Documents, BCC shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such
Default within any applicable notice and grace periods provided in the Lease
Documents, and, to the extent permitted by law, enter upon the Facility, if
necessary, for such purpose and take all such actions as BCC may deem necessary
or appropriate to remedy such Default. The Lessor agrees to give written notice
to BCC of any Default under the Lease or any other Lease Document for which
Lessor becomes aware; provided, however, such notice shall only be required if
Lessor is otherwise obligated to give Lessee notice of such Default. The Lessor
agrees to accept any remedy performed by BCC or any affiliate of BCC as if the
same had been performed by the Lessee.
6. Any notice, request, demand, statement or consent made
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given if personally
delivered, sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, or sent by a
nationally recognized commercial overnight delivery service with provisions for
a receipt, postage or delivery charges prepaid, and shall be deemed given when
postmarked or placed in the possession of such mail or delivery service and
addressed as follows:

or at such other place as any of the parties hereto may from time to time
hereafter designate to the others in writing. Any notice given to BCC or the
Lessee by the Lessor at any time shall not imply that such notice or any further
or similar notice was or is required.
7. This Agreement shall be construed, and the rights and obligations of
the Lessor, the Lessee and BCC shall be determined, in accordance with the laws
of the State in which the Leased Property is located, excluding its conflicts of
laws.
8. This Agreement and BCC's obligations hereunder shall automatically
terminate upon the purchase by BCC or an affiliate of BCC of all of the issued
and outstanding equity of the Lessee or substantially all of the assets of
Lessee; provided, however, such purchases may only be made in accordance with
the terms and conditions of the Lease and other Lease Documents.
9. The Lessor covenants and agrees with BCC that the Lessor shall not
consent to any assignment of the Lessee's interest under the Lease (except to
BCC or an affiliate of BCC) or any transfer of substantially all of the Lessee's
assets or any transfer of the issued and outstanding equity of the Lessee
without the prior written consent of BCC, which consent BCC may withhold in its
sole and absolute discretion. In addition, in the event that, in violation of
the terms of the Lease, (a) the Lessee attempts to assign its interest in the
Lease (or transfer substantially all of its assets), (b) the current holders of
the issued and outstanding equity of the Lessee attempt to transfer any such
equity or (c) if any of the events described in Section 25.1.3 of the Lease
occurs with respect to Lessee, the Lessor covenants and agrees with BCC that,
subject to applicable law, the Lessor shall use reasonable efforts to terminate
the Lease (in accordance with the terms thereof) and shall enter into a new
lease of the Property with BCC (or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries,
provided, that BCC executes and delivers a guaranty of any such lease, in form
and substance acceptable to Lessor), in form and substance acceptable to the
Lessor; provided, however, that any such lease shall be substantially similar to
the Lease. In connection with the execution and delivery of any such lease, (y)
the new lessee shall execute and deliver any additional documents that the
Lessor may request, in form and substance similar to the Lease Documents and (z)
BCC shall deliver to the Lessor such evidence as Lessor shall request, in form
and substance acceptable to the Lessor, that the new lease and all other
documents executed and delivered in connection therewith have been duly
authorized, executed and delivered and are enforceable. BCC agrees to pay upon 3
days after written demand all of the costs and expenses reasonably incurred by
the Lessor (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses) in
connection with the performance of the Lessor's obligations under this Section
11.
4
<PAGE> 5
10. (a) Financial Information. Lessor reserves the right to
reasonably require financial information (including tax returns, detailed cash
flow information and contingent liability information) of BCC at such times as
Lessor shall deem reasonably necessary, and BCC shall promptly provide such
information to Lessor in a form reasonably satisfactory to Lessor.
(b) Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire
understanding among the parties hereto with respect to its subject matter and
supersedes any prior understandings or agreements between the parties with
respect to such subject matter.
(c) Amendments. This Agreement may be modified or amended only
by a written instrument executed by the Lessor, the Lessee and BCC.
(d) Severability. If any term or other provision of this
Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law,
or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall
nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the substance of the
transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner adverse to any
party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid,
illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in
good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the
parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that
transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.
(e) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or
more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which
together shall constitute but a single instrument.
(f) Future Cooperation. Each party covenants and agrees to
take such further action and execute such further documents as may be necessary
or appropriate to carry out the intention of this Agreement.
(g) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding
upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns.
(h) Third Party Beneficiary. The parties hereto intend and
agree that Lessor shall be deemed a third party beneficiary of the Shortfall
Agreement with respect to the obligation of BCC to provide Working Capital Loans
to Lessee; and in that regard, Lessor shall be permitted to enforce against BCC
such provisions in the Shortfall Agreement requiring BCC to advance such Working
Capital Loans to Lessee; provided, however, Lessor shall have no obligations
whatsoever under, or liability with respect to, the Shortfall Agreement.
(g) Cooperation In Bankruptcy. For purposes of this
Subsection, the following terms shall have the following meanings: The term
"Bankruptcy Code" shall mean the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended, and
codified as 11 U.S.C. Section 101 et seq. and the term "Reorganization" shall
mean any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, execution sale, liquidation,
winding-up, or bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other statutory or common
law
5
<PAGE> 6
proceedings or arrangements involving Lessee or any equity owner of Lessee (a
"Member") or any assignment for the benefit of creditors or any marshaling of
the assets or liabilities of Lessee or any Member or any sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of Lessee or any Member. In the event (i) of a
Reorganization of Lessee or any Member of Lessee, and (ii) in connection with
such Reorganization, that the Lessee attempts to reject or otherwise invalidate
the Asset Purchase Option (as defined in the Shortfall Agreement) or any Member
attempts to reject or otherwise invalidate the Option (as defined in the Option
Agreement dated as of March 31, 1998 among BCC and the Members), BCC agrees to
cooperate, subject to applicable laws, with Lessor with respect to the
Reorganization, which cooperation shall include, without limitation, voting with
Lessor regarding any plan of Reorganization proposed or endorsed by Lessor in
accordance with the Bankruptcy Code that results in BCC or an Affiliate of BCC
controlling the Facility; provided, however, Lessor shall (subject to the
provisions of applicable law) in any such Reorganization only endorse or proffer
such plans, and take such actions, that require the equity ownership of the
Lessee or the assets of the Lessee be acquired by BCC or a wholly-owned
subsidiary of BCC (with BCC executing and delivering a guaranty of all
obligations of such subsidiary owed to Lessor, in form and substance acceptable
to Lessor).
(h) Agreement Regarding Acquisition of Equity or Assets of
Lessee. Without in any manner limiting the obligations and duties of BCC under
that certain Amended and Restated Subordination and Standstill Agreement dated
as of March 31, 1998, in favor of Lessor, BCC shall use its best efforts in the
case of a foreclosure of the Lease pursuant to its Leasehold Mortgage or the
execution by BCC on the equity interests of the Members under that certain
Equity Pledge Agreement dated as of March 31, 1998 executed by the Members and
Lessee in favor of BCC to acquire all of the assets of or equity interests in
Lessee (as the case may be) at the time of such foreclosure or execution.
(i) Failure to Fund Working Capital Reserve. In connection
with the development of the Facility, the Lessee is obligated to contribute to
the Cash Collateral Account sufficient capital to fund pre-opening and start up
costs for the Facility, all as more fully described in the Shortfall Agreement.
As of the date hereof, the Lessee has deposited cash into the Cash Collateral
Account in the amount of $312,500, and is obligated pursuant to Section 27 of
the Development Agreement to deliver to Lessor the LC in the amount of $625,000
(where upon, Lessor shall return to Lessee the amount of cash placed as of the
date hereof in the Cash Collateral Account). In the event for any reason
whatsoever that the Lessee does not deliver to Lessor by April 30, 1998, the LC
in the amount of $625,000 required pursuant to Section 27 of the Development
Agreement, then BCC shall be unconditionally obligated to (i) exercise (or cause
a wholly-owned subsidiary to exercise) BCC's option to purchase the equity
ownership interest of the Lessee pursuant to that certain Option Agreement of
even date herewith among BCC and the equity owners of Lessee and either (A)
enter into direct a lease for the Facility with Lessor on the terms and
conditions described in the Lease or (B) cause a wholly-owned subsidiary of BCC
to enter into a lease for the Facility with Lessor on the terms and conditions
described in the Lease (in which event BCC shall provide to Lessor an
unconditional guaranty of all obligations of such wholly-owned subsidiary on
terms and conditions satisfactory to Lessor) and (ii) deliver to Lessor the LC
as required in Section 27 of the Development Agreement in the amount of
$625,000.
6
<PAGE> 7
(j) Financial Information/Confidential Information. (a) So
long as BCC is subject to reporting requirements under the Securities Act of
1934, as amended (the "'34 Act"), BCC shall provide to Lessor (in lieu of any
other financial reporting required by Lessor under the Lease Documents with
respect to BCC and its Affiliates) all financial information and financial data
that BCC is required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC") as provided in the '34 Act and the regulations related thereto, at such
times as BCC is required to file such information and data with the SEC. Should
BCC or any Affiliate of BCC purchase the equity interests of the Tenant or
receive an assignment of the Lease from the Tenant, BCC shall comply with all
reporting requirements referenced in Section 5 of the Lease.
(b) Lessor hereby covenants and agrees, on behalf of Lessor and all
Affiliates of Lessor, that all Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined)
will be held and treated by Lessor, Lessor's Affiliates and the agents and
employees of Lessor and its Affiliates in confidence and will not, except as
explicitly consented to by BCC in its sole discretion, be disclosed by Lessor,
its Affiliates or the agents and employees of Lessor or its Affiliates, in any
manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, and will not be used by Lessor, its
Affiliates or the agents and employees of Lessor or its Affiliates other than in
connection with the Related Transactions (as defined in Section 36 of the
Development Agreement). Lessor further agrees on behalf of itself and its
Affiliates (i) to disclose Confidential Information only to (A) Lessor's
employees who need to know the Confidential Information for purposes as
determined by Lessor and (B) potential or actual participants or assignees of
Lessor's interest in the Lease, the other Lease Documents, any other documents
related thereto and the Facility, but only after receiving from such potential
or actual participants or assignees an agreement whereby the recipient of such
Confidential Information agrees to be bound by the provisions hereof relating to
confidentiality and non-disclosure, (ii) to employ all reasonable procedures to
ensure that neither the Lessor, nor its Affiliates, agents, employees or
potential or actual participants or assignees of Lessor or its Affiliates use
the Confidential Information in connection with trading in the securities of BCC
or communicate such information to others who so trade in such securities and
(iii) that any Confidential Information not returned to BCC, the Management Firm
or Lessee, as applicable, will be held by Lessor and kept subject to the terms
of this Section or destroyed.
(c) As used in this Section, (i) "Confidential Information" means all
information and data containing or otherwise reflecting information concerning
BCC or any Affiliate of BCC, or any facility in a Related Transaction, which is
not available to the general public but is material to the business, financial
condition, or prospects of BCC and its Affiliates or otherwise would be material
to making an investment decision with respect to the publicly traded securities
of BCC, together with analyses, compilations, studies or other documents,
whether prepared by BCC, Lessor or any other Entity (as defined in Appendix 1 to
the Shortfall Agreement), which contain or otherwise reflect such information
and (ii) "Affiliates" has the meaning ascribed to such term in the Development
Agreement dated as of March 31, 1998 (the "Development Agreement") among Lessor,
BCC Development & Management Co. a Delaware corporation and Senior Care
Operators of Shippensburg, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.

Lessor as beneficiary, which shall be used to fund operational losses
anticipated in connection with the Facility; and
WHEREAS, BCC has agreed that, in the event that Lessor for any reason
whatsoever is unable to obtain funds pursuant to the LC, or if the LC has been
depleted, BCC will unconditionally fund operational losses to the Lessee
pursuant to the Shortfall Agreement; and
WHEREAS, as additional security for the obligations of Lessee under the
Lease (the "Lease Obligations"), the Lessor has requested the execution and
delivery of this Agreement.
NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration paid by each of the
parties hereto to the other, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged and in consideration of the covenants and agreements set forth
herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. (a) BCC unconditionally agrees to loan to the Lessee sufficient
funds, by means of working capital loans (collectively, the "Working Capital
Loans"), to pay and satisfy the amount by which the Lessee's cash requirements
to meet its obligations (including, without limitation, operating expenses, debt
service and the obligations of Lessee under the Lease) due and payable during
any month exceed the gross revenues received by the Lessee during such month
(the
<PAGE> 2
"Shortfall"). Working Capital Loans from BCC to Lessee shall be made without
regard to any default, breach of condition, bankruptcy of Lessee or failure to
satisfy any condition or obligation under the Shortfall Agreement. BCC shall,
without further direction, advance to the Lessee an amount equal to the
Shortfall within three (3) days after demand by Lessor or Lessee in the form of
Working Capital Loans so that the Lessee is able to meet all of its working
capital obligations (including, without limitation, the obligations of Lessee
under the Lease) when due. BCC acknowledges that the covenants and agreements
made hereunder by BCC are being made to induce the Lessor to enter into and
accept the Lease and enable the Lessee to fulfill its working capital
obligations, including, without limitation, the obligations of Lessee under the
Lease. Accordingly, it is expressly intended by BCC that the covenants and
agreements by BCC hereunder may be relied upon and enforced by the Lessor. In
furtherance of the foregoing, Lessor shall have the right to directly request
from BCC any advance needed to satisfy such Shortfalls, and upon such request
the same shall be funded by BCC.
(b) The obligations of BCC contained herein are absolute and
unconditional obligations to Lessor, and no provision herein or any other
agreement to which BCC is a party (including without limitation the Shortfall
Agreement) shall be construed to the contrary. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, should any conflict exist between the provisions of the
Shortfall Agreement and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this
Agreement shall control.
2. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth herein,
BCC's obligation to provide the Working Capital Loans, and advance Shortfalls,
to the Lessee shall not commence until such time as the full amount to be
deposited by Lessee in the Working Capital Reserve has been depleted, by drawing
down on the LC; provided, however, should funds in the Working Capital Reserve
available through drawing down on the LC not be available to fund the working
capital needs of Lessee for any reason whatsoever, BCC shall nonetheless have
the obligation to fund Shortfalls as herein provided. When the working capital
needs of Lessee require such action, Lessor shall make demand to draw down on
the LC until fully depleted to fund such working capital needs of Lessee.
3. (a) The Lessor shall not amend, modify or otherwise alter the Lease
or any other Lease Document (as defined in Appendix 1 to the Shortfall
Agreement) without BCC's prior written consent, in each instance, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the
previous sentence, the obligations of BCC hereunder shall not be affected by the
termination, discontinuance, release or modification of any agreement from any
endorser, surety or guarantor of the obligations of Lessee under the Lease.
(b) In addition, the Lessor hereby covenants and agrees with BCC
that, except in connection with the exercise or any of its rights and/or
remedies under the Lease Documents, the Lessor shall not terminate the Lease
without the prior written consent of BCC, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
4. The obligations of BCC hereunder shall not be affected by any change
in the beneficial ownership of the Lessee or by reason of any disability of the
Lessee. This Agreement
- 2 -
<PAGE> 3
shall be in addition to any guaranty or other security for the Lease
Obligations, and it shall not be prejudiced or rendered unenforceable by the
invalidity of any such guaranty or security. This Agreement shall continue to be
effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if, at any time, any payment of
the Lease Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Lessor
upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Lessee or otherwise,
all as though such payment had not been made.
5. Without limiting BCC's obligation to provide the Working Capital
Loans, upon the occurrence of any Default under any of the Lease Documents, BCC
shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such Default within any
applicable notice and grace periods provided in the Lease Documents, and, to the
extent permitted by law, enter upon the Facility, if necessary, for such purpose
and take all such actions as BCC may deem necessary or appropriate to remedy
such Default. The Lessor agrees to give written notice to BCC of any Default
under the Lease or any other Lease Document for which Lessor becomes aware;
provided, however, such notice shall only be required if Lessor is otherwise
obligated to give Lessee notice of such Default.. The Lessor agrees to accept
any remedy performed by BCC or any affiliate of BCC as if the same had been
performed by the Lessee.
6. Any notice, request, demand, statement or consent made hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given if personally delivered, sent
by certified mail, return receipt requested, or sent by a nationally recognized
commercial overnight delivery service with provisions for a receipt, postage or
delivery charges prepaid, and shall be deemed given when postmarked or placed in
the possession of such mail or delivery service and addressed as follows:

or at such other place as any of the parties hereto may from time to time
hereafter designate to the others in writing. Any notice given to BCC or the
Lessee by the Lessor at any time shall not imply that such notice or any further
or similar notice was or is required.
7. This Agreement shall be construed, and the rights and obligations of
the Lessor, the Lessee and BCC shall be determined, in accordance with the laws
of the State of Ohio, excluding its conflicts of laws.
8. This Agreement and BCC's obligations hereunder shall automatically
terminate upon the purchase by BCC or an affiliate of BCC of all of the issued
and outstanding equity of the Lessee or substantially all of the assets of
Lessee; provided, however, such purchases may only be made in accordance with
the terms and conditions of the Lease and other Lease Documents.
9. The Lessor covenants and agrees with BCC that the Lessor shall not
consent to any assignment of the Lessee's interest under the Lease (except to
BCC or an affiliate of BCC) or any transfer of substantially all of the Lessee's
assets or any transfer of the issued and outstanding equity of the Lessee
without the prior written consent of BCC, which consent BCC may withhold in its
sole and absolute discretion. In addition, in the event that, in violation of
the terms of the Lease, (a) the Lessee attempts to assign its interest in the
Lease (or transfer substantially all of its assets), (b) the current holders of
the issued and outstanding equity of the Lessee attempt to transfer any such
equity or (c) if any of the events described in Section 25.1.3 of the Lease
occurs with respect to Lessee, the Lessor covenants and agrees with BCC that,
subject to applicable law, the Lessor shall use reasonable efforts to terminate
the Lease (in accordance with the terms thereof) and shall enter into a new
lease of the Property with BCC (or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries,
provided, that BCC executes and delivers a guaranty of any such lease, in form
and substance acceptable to Lessor), in form and substance acceptable to the
Lessor; provided, however, that any such lease shall be substantially similar to
the Lease. In connection with the execution and delivery of any such lease,
(y) the new lessee shall execute and deliver any additional documents that the
Lessor may request, in form and substance similar to the Lease Documents and
(z) BCC shall deliver to the Lessor such evidence as Lessor shall request, in
form and substance acceptable to the Lessor, that the new lease and all other
documents executed and delivered in connection therewith have been duly
authorized, executed and delivered and are enforceable. BCC agrees to pay upon 3
days after written demand all of the costs and expenses reasonably incurred by
the Lessor (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses) in
connection with the performance of the Lessor's obligations under this
Section 11.
10. (a) Financial Information. Lessor reserves the right to reasonably
require financial information (including tax returns, detailed cash flow
information and contingent liability information) of BCC at such times as Lessor
shall deem reasonably necessary, and BCC shall promptly provide such information
to Lessor in a form reasonably satisfactory to Lessor.
(b) Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire
understanding among the parties hereto with respect to its subject matter and
supersedes any prior understandings or agreements between the parties with
respect to such subject matter.
- 4 -
<PAGE> 5
(c) Amendments. This Agreement may be modified or amended only
by a written instrument executed by the Lessor, the Lessee and BCC.
(d) Severability. If any term or other provision of this
Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law,
or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall
nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the substance of the
transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner adverse to any
party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid,
illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in
good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the
parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that
transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.
(e) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or
more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which
together shall constitute but a single instrument.
(f) Future Cooperation. Each party covenants and agrees to
take such further action and execute such further documents as may be necessary
or appropriate to carry out the intention of this Agreement.
(g) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding
upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns.
(h) Third Party Beneficiary. The parties hereto intend and
agree that Lessor shall be deemed a third party beneficiary of the Shortfall
Agreement with respect to the obligation of BCC to provide Working Capital Loans
to Lessee; and in that regard, Lessor shall be permitted to enforce against BCC
such provisions in the Shortfall Agreement requiring BCC to advance such Working
Capital Loans to Lessee; provided, however, Lessor shall have no obligations
whatsoever under, or liability with respect to, the Shortfall Agreement.

Oakhaven are collectively referred to herein as the "Members" and individually
referred to herein as a "Member". SCOOL, ACOJ, ACOA, ECOH, ECOR and ECOG are
collectively referred to herein as "Lessees" and individually referred to herein
as a "Lessee".
WHEREAS, each Lessee has entered into certain leases for
properties located in Pennsylvania, Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee and North Carolina
(each lease being referred to herein individually as a "Lease" and collectively
as the "Leases"). The Leases are more fully described on Schedule 1 attached
hereto; and
WHEREAS, in connection with each Lease, the Members, the
Lessees and BCC entered into Shortfall Funding Agreements (each such Shortfall
Funding Agreement being referred to herein collectively as the "Shortfall
Agreements" and individually as a "Shortfall Agreement"), which Shortfall
Agreements are more fully described on Schedule 1 attached hereto; and
WHEREAS, in connection with each Shortfall Agreement, each

WHEREAS, to secure the obligations of the Lessees and the
Members to BCC, each Lessee has granted in favor of BCC a leasehold mortgage
encumbering each Lease (each such Leasehold Mortgage being referred to herein
collectively as the "Leasehold Mortgages" and individually as a "Leasehold

<PAGE> 2
WHEREAS, in connection with each Lease, the Members and BCC

to herein collectively as the "Option Agreements" and individually as an "Option
Agreement"). Such Option Agreements are more fully described on Schedule 1
attached hereto; and
WHEREAS, in connection with certain Leases, certain Members
and Lessees and BCC entered into Stock Pledge Agreements (each such Stock Pledge
Agreement being referred to herein collectively as the "Pledge Agreements" and
individually as a "Pledge Agreement"), which Pledge Agreements are more fully
described on Schedule 1 attached hereto.
NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound
hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree to amend all Option Agreements, all
Pledge Agreements, and all Shortfall Agreements as follows:
1. Option Agreements. (a) Each Option Agreement is hereby
amended by deleting in its entirety Section 1(b) and replacing such Section with
the following:
"(b) In consideration of the grant of the Option to
BCC, BCC shall make the following payments (the "OPTION PAYMENTS") to Optionor:
(1) on the earlier of one day after the issuance of the certificate of occupancy
for the Facility or twelve months following the commencement of construction
under the Development Agreement (the "First Payment Date"), an amount equal to
the Current Yield (as hereinafter defined) on the Working Capital Reserve
actually funded by Optionor through such date, payable in arrears, plus an
amount equal to the Current Yield on the Working Capital Reserve actually funded
by Optionor through such date for the next succeeding 12 month period, payable
in advance, (2) on that date which is twelve months after the First Payment Date
(the "Second Payment Date"), an amount calculated as 25% of the Current Yield on
the Working Capital Reserve actually funded by the Optionor, representing the
first quarterly installment of the annual Current Yield for the following 12
month period, payable in advance, and (3) thereafter, on the first day of each
three-month period following the Second Payment Date and for so long as this
Agreement is in effect (but ending in all events at the time of exercise of the
Option), 25% of the Current Yield on the Working Capital Reserve actually funded
from time to time by the Optionor, compounded on an annual basis, representing
quarterly installments of the annual Current Yield, payable in advance. "Current
Yield" as used in this Agreement means an annual return equal to 27.5% of the
Working Capital Reserve actually funded from time to time through the date of
such calculation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if
the Option is exercised, BCC's obligation to make Option Payments thereafter
shall cease. Option Payments shall be made to Optionors without demand or
notice, except as expressly provided herein."
(b) Section 1(d) of each Option Agreement is hereby amended by
adding at the end of each such Section the following: "To avoid any doubt, BCC
shall receive a credit against
-2-
<PAGE> 3
the Purchase Price for Option Payments paid as Current Yield in advance, to the
extent that such advanced Option Payments are attributable to Current Yield
accruing after the Closing Date."
(c) Each Option Agreement is hereby amended by adding a new
Section 7(c) thereto, which shall read as follows:
"(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7(b)
and so long as neither a Default nor an Event of Default has occurred under any
Transaction Document or Lease Document which was caused by either Optionor or
the Company, in the event that BCC fails to make Option Payments as provided
hereunder, after ten (10) days prior written notice of such failure sent by
Optionor to BCC, Optionor shall have the following remedies and rights, which
remedies and rights shall be the sole and exclusive remedies and rights of
Optionor in the case of such failure: (i) BCC shall no longer have any right to
exercise the Option or the Asset Purchase Option, (ii) all Notes issued by the
Company pursuant to the Shortfall Agreement shall automatically be replaced with
amended and restated Notes that provide that interest due under the Notes will
accrue and not be due and payable until the date which is the fifth (5th)
anniversary of the date of issuance of the first Note so issued by the Company
pursuant to the Shortfall Agreement and (iii) the lien encumbering the Equity
Interests and other assets in favor of BCC arising hereunder and under the
Pledge Agreement (if applicable) and the Leasehold Mortgage shall automatically
be released and terminated. BCC agrees, after the failure to make Option
Payments and an opportunity to cure as provided herein, to execute such
documents and instruments, and accept delivery of such replacement Notes
(returning the Notes to be replaced) as Optionors may reasonably request to
effect the provisions of Subsections (c)(i), (c)(ii) and (c)(iii) above."
(d) The Option Agreement among BCC, Oakhaven and SCO is hereby
amended to delete any reference to "Membership Interests", and replace such
reference with "Equity Interests".
2. Stock Pledge Agreement. (a) Each Pledge Agreement is hereby
amended to delete any reference to "Stock" and to replace such reference with
"Equity Interests".
(b) Section 7 of each Pledge Agreement is hereby amended to
add the following language at the end thereof: "This Agreement and the grant of
the security interests provided herein are subject in all respects to the
provisions of Section 7(c) of the Option Agreement."
3. Shortfall Funding Agreement.
(a) Section 1.02 of each Shortfall Agreement is
hereby amended to delete any reference to the Note being due and payable on
demand; instead, each such Section shall be read to provide that the Note shall
be due and payable on that date which is the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date
of issuance of the first Note so issued by the Company pursuant to the Shortfall
Agreement; provided, however, interest shall (subject to the provisions of
Section 7(c) of the Option Agreement) nonetheless remain payable in arrears in
quarterly installments at the
-3-
<PAGE> 4
rate of interest provided in Section 1.02 of the Shortfall Agreement. Section
1.02 of each Shortfall Agreement is hereby further amended to include the
following language at the end thereof: "Notwithstanding any provision to the
contrary contained in the Transaction Documents, the provisions of this Section
1.02, and any Notes issued hereunder, shall be subject in all respects to the
terms and conditions of Section 7(c) of the Option Agreement."
(b) Section 1.03 of each Shortfall Agreement is
hereby modified to refer to that Section as "Section 1.03(a)". Section 1.03(a)
of each Shortfall Agreement is hereby amended to include the following language
at the end thereof: "Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in
the Transaction Documents, the provisions of this Section 1.03(a) shall be
subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of Section 7(c) of the
Option Agreement."
(c) A new Section 1.03(b) shall be added to each
Shortfall Agreement, which shall provide as follows: "Notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other Transaction Document,
BCC agrees that the Asset Purchase Option shall not be exercised unless (i) BCC
or its designee is prohibited (by operation of law, or any other reason other
than the acts or omissions of BCC or any BCC Affiliate) from exercising the
Option to acquire the Equity Interests pursuant to the Option Agreement or (ii)
the Lessee or any Member is in Default of any covenant, agreement,
representation or warranty contained herein or in any other Transaction
Document, which Default was not caused by BCC or any BCC Affiliate."
4. Promissory Notes. (a) Each form of Promissory Note attached
to each Shortfall Agreement is hereby amended to delete any reference to such
Note being payable on demand. Instead, each such Promissory Note shall be due
and payable on that date which is the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date of
issuance of the first Note so issued by the Company pursuant to the Shortfall
Agreement
(b) Each form of Promissory Note is hereby amended by
adding at the end thereof prior to the signature line the following new
paragraph:
"THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS NOTE ARE SUBJECT TO
THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF SECTION 7(c) OF THE OPTION AGREEMENT DATED AS OF
____________, 1998 AMONG BALANCED CARE CORPORATION, AND {NAME OF MEMBERS}."
5. Leasehold Mortgages. BCC, each Member and each Lessee
hereby agree that each Leasehold Mortgage shall be amended to add the following
provisions:
"31. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained in this Mortgage, in no event shall the actions or inactions of
Mortgagor be deemed a Mortgage Event of Default hereunder if and to the extent
that such actions are the responsibility of the Management Firm pursuant to the
Management Agreement; provided, however, such actions or inactions shall
nonetheless constitute a Mortgage Event of Default hereunder if the Management
Firm was unable to perform its responsibilities under the Management Agreement
as a result of either (i) the negligent or willful acts or omissions of
Mortgagor or (ii) a Default or Event of
-4-
<PAGE> 5
Default by Mortgagor under any Transaction Document other than this Mortgage.
Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained herein or in any other
Transaction Document, this Mortgage and the rights of the Mortgagee hereunder
are subject in all respects to the provisions of Section 7(c) of the Option
Agreement."
BCC, each Lessee and each Member hereby agree to cause each Leasehold Mortgage
to be amended of record to add the foregoing provision.
6. Miscellaneous Provisions.
(a) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with
all other Transaction Documents (as amended hereby), contains the entire
understanding among the parties hereto with respect to its subject matter and
supersedes any prior understandings or agreements between the parties with
respect to such subject matter.
(b) Amendments. This Agreement may be modified or
amended only by a written instrument executed by the parties hereto.
(c) Severability. If any term or other provision of
this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of
law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement
shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the substance of
the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner adverse to
any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid,
illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in
good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the
parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that
transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.
(d) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in
two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of
which together shall constitute but a single instrument.
(e) Future Cooperation. Each party covenants and
agrees to take such further action and execute such further documents as may be
necessary or appropriate to carry out the intention of this Agreement.
(f) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be
binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns.
(g) Transaction Documents Remain Effective. Except as
expressly provided herein, each Shortfall Agreement, Option Agreement and Pledge
Agreement (and all other Transaction Documents) shall remain in full force and
effect, unmodified except as expressly provided herein.
-5-
<PAGE> 6
(h) Definition of Transaction Documents. The term
"Transaction Documents" as used herein, with respect to each Shortfall
Agreement, Option Agreement and (as applicable) Pledge Agreement executed in
connection with a particular Lease, shall have the meaning given to such term in

ARTICLE II
RENT
2.1 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), (c) and (f), the "Minimum
Rent") for the Leased Property the annual sum equal to the product of (i) 1.10
times the Project Amount, times (ii) the sum of (A) the rate, as of the
Commencement Date, equal to the weekly average yield on United States Treasury
Securities - Constant Maturity Series for a term of ten years plus (B) 350 basis
points.
2
<PAGE> 3
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 shall execute an acknowledgment of the calculation of the initial
Minimum Rent 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(f) and
9.3(b)(iv) below. As used herein, the term "Project Amount" means the total
amount funded or to be funded or otherwise expended for the acquisition of the
Land and the Personal Property and the development and construction of the
Facility and the other Leased Improvements, pursuant to the Loan Agreement or
otherwise and including all amounts loaned by Capstone to Charles F. Trefzger
(the "Trefzger Loan"), plus all accrued interest owing now or in the future
under the Loan Agreement and the Trefzger Loan. The parties agree, subject to
adjustment pursuant to Section 2.1(f) below, that the initial Minimum Rent is
$456,214.00.
(b) Increases to Minimum Rent. Commencing on the first anniversary date
of the Commencement Date and on each anniversary date thereafter throughout the
remainder of the Initial Term and any Extended Term (each such anniversary date
individually being referred to as an "Adjustment Date"), the then current
Minimum Rent shall be increased annually effective as of such Adjustment Date by
125% of the increase in the Consumer Price Index for the Base Period (as defined
below); provided, however, if the increase in the Consumer Price Index for such
Base Period is greater than 2.4%, Lessor and Lessee mutually agree to use their
best efforts to negotiate the increase in Minimum Rent based on the fair rental
value of the Leased Property to become effective on the Adjustment Date.
(c) Capital Expenditures. Beginning on the first (1st) anniversary of
the Commencement Date, Lessee shall make an annual Facility upgrade expenditure
in an amount equal to $200 per bed for capital improvements, such amount to be
increased $50 per bed on each Adjustment Date. If requested by Lessor, Lessee
shall promptly provide evidence of such capital expenditures. In the event
Lessee fails to make the required capital expenditure in any Lease year, Lessee
shall deposit in a money market account with an Acceptable Financial Institution
amounts not less than the difference between the required capital expenditures
and the amounts actually spent. Such account shall be in the name of the Lessor.
Lessee shall make detailed requests for such funds in writing to Lessor in the
same form as a Request pursuant to 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/ACH transfer of same day funds to
Lessor's account or other location specified by Lessor from time to time in
writing on or before 2:00 p.m., Birmingham time, on any Business Day.

<PAGE> 4
(e) Recalculation of Minimum Rent. The parties agree that the Project
Amount may be estimated as of the Commencement Date. As soon as reasonably
practicable after the determination of the final Project Amount, Lessor will
recalculate the Minimum Rent pursuant to Section 2.1(a) whereupon the parties
will execute an acknowledgment of the recalculated Minimum Rent.
2.2 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.l(b) and will provide Lessee with written notice
of same.
2.3 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 (10) 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 due 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 per year for such twelve-month period. 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.
2.4 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.
2.5 RENT COVERAGE.
(a) Beginning with the end of the second calendar quarter after the
Commencement Date, for the Applicable Period, the Facility must achieve and
maintain the following:
4
<PAGE> 5
(i) A Rent Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.0, and
(ii) An Adjusted Rent Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.0 to
1.0.
For purposes of this provision, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
"Rent Coverage Ratio" means, for each Applicable Period, the ratio of
(i) Cash Flow, plus management fees as determined on an accrual basis of
accounting for the Facility, to (ii) the Minimum Rent payable under the Lease.
"Adjusted Rent Coverage Ratio" means, for each Applicable Period, the
ratio of (i) Cash Flow to (ii) the Minimum Rent payable under the Lease.
"Cash Flow" means the pre-tax income of the Facility, plus (i) lease
expense with respect to the Lease and (ii) non-cash expenses or allowances for
depreciation and amortization with respect to the Facility. In calculating
"pre-tax" income, any extraordinary income or extraordinary loss shall be
excluded.
(b) The Rent Coverage Ratio and the Adjusted Rent Coverage Ratio will
be measured quarterly, commencing with the first measurement at the end of the
second calendar quarter after the Commencement Date. The first such measurement
shall cover an Applicable Period of 3 months; the second such measurement will
cover an Applicable Period of 6 months; the third such measurement will cover an
Applicable Period of 9 months, and each subsequent measurement will cover an
Applicable Period of 12 months.
ARTICLE III
IMPOSITIONS
3.1 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. Lessee's obligation to pay such
Impositions and the amount thereof shall be deemed absolutely fixed upon the
date such Impositions become a lien upon the Leased Property or any part
thereof. 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 becomes 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
5
<PAGE> 6
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 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.
3.2 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.
3.3 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.
3.4 INSURANCE PREMIUMS. Lessee will contract for or cause to be
contracted for, in Lessee's 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 and to the extent provided by law,
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.
ARTICLE V
OWNERSHIP OF LEASED PROPERTY

(c) Lessee covenants and agrees that during the Term it will use its
reasonable best efforts to operate continuously the Leased Property in

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) might reasonably tend to impair
Lessor's estate therein or in any portion thereof, or (ii) may reasonably result
in a claim or claims of adverse usage or adverse possession by the public, as
such, or of implied dedication of the Leased Property or any portion thereof.
(f) Lessee will not utilize any Hazardous Materials on the Leased
Property except in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements and will not

activities) at all times by Lessee or a manager approved by Lessor, (ii) Lessee
shall not enter into any agreement (oral or written) with respect to such
management and leasing activities unless the terms thereof and the proposed
manager or leasing agent 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 obligation of Lessee to pay management fees is subordinate

to collect any management fees during the continuance of an Event of Default.
Pursuant to clause (ii) above, Lessor hereby approves the terms of the
Management Agreement and the Management Company as the initial manager and

of an Officer's Certificate stating (and such other information as Lessor may
reasonably require confirming) that such grant, release, dedication, transfer,
petition or amendment has no adverse effect on the Primary Intended Use of the
Leased Property and does not reduce the value thereof.

Article XI relating to permitted contests, Lessee, at its expense, will promptly
(a) comply with all material Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements in

any of the Leased Improvements or interfere with the use and enjoyment of the
Leased Property, and (b) directly or indirectly with the cooperation of Lessor,
but at Lessee's sole cost and expense, procure, maintain and comply with all

7.3 OCCUPANCY. From and after the end of the fifth calendar year
following the Commencement Date, the Lessee must achieve and maintain a daily
average occupancy of the Facility of not less than 75% for each calendar
quarter, based on an effective capacity of ______ beds. For the first quarter

Lessee shall cause the Manager to use its best efforts to increase occupancy at
the Facility. After the Facility fails to achieve and maintain this daily

10
<PAGE> 11
consecutive calendar quarters, Lessee shall engage a consultant acceptable to
Lessor, with recognized expertise in the long term care industry, to assist
Manager in improving the Facility's occupancy level. If for three (3)
consecutive quarters the Facility fails to maintain its occupancy requirements
and if at such time the Rent Coverage Ratio for the Facility is less than 1.40
to 1.0, then, for so long as such conditions exist, the Lessee shall not be
permitted to exercise its purchase rights provided for in Section 29 or its
renewal rights provided for in Section 34.
ARTICLE VIII
REPAIRS; RESTRICTIONS AND ANNUAL INSPECTIONS
8.1 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 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 complete or to
diligently pursue completion of 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, 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.

required by Sections 13.1 and 13.2) and any Award (to the extent required by
Section 14.3) or the gross negligence or willful acts of Lessor, 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
11
<PAGE> 12
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 (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 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, or (ii) giving Lessee any right, power or permission to contract
for or permit the performance of any labor or services or the finishing of any
materials or other property in such fashion as would permit the making of any
claim against Lessor in respect thereof or to make any agreement that may
create, or in any way be the basis for, any right, title, interest, lien, claim
or other encumbrance upon the estate of Lessor in the Leased Property or any
portion 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.
8.2 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 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
12
<PAGE> 13
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.
8.3 INSPECTIONS; UNDERWRITING FEE. From time to time during the Term,
Lessor and its agents shall have the right to inspect the Leased Property and
all systems contained therein at any reasonable time 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 equal $2,000.00 per year during
the Term. In addition, Lessee shall pay Lessor a one-time initial facility due
diligence and underwriting fee of $3,000.00 which is due upon full execution of
this Lease.
ARTICLE IX
CAPITAL ADDITIONS
9.1 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.l(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. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Lessee shall be permitted to construct or install Capital Additions whose cost
does not exceed $25,000 in any one Lease year without the need to obtain the
prior written consent of Lessor provided that such improvements shall be
architecturally integrated into and consistent with the Leased Property.
(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 unless the Capital Addition Cost
is less than $25,000. 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
13
<PAGE> 14
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.
9.2 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.
(b) Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Lessor
shall compensate Lessee for all Capital Additions (if consented to by Lessor and
Lessor's consent is required) 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) any 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.
9.3 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, a five percent (5%)
development fee 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 (other than
14
<PAGE> 15
described in (i)), 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) a deed conveying title to Lessor to any land and
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) 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
15
<PAGE> 16
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.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor and Developer have entered
into a Development Agreement of even date herewith pursuant to which the
Developer shall cause the Facility to be constructed.
9.4 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.
9.5 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
16
<PAGE> 17
such materials and remit the net proceeds thereof to Lessor within 15 days of
such disposal.
ARTICLE X

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

<PAGE> 18

opinions of legal counsel as Lessor may reasonably request; (e) in the case of

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.
ARTICLE XII
INSURANCE
12.1 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
either pay to Lessor monthly the amounts required and Lessor shall transfer such
amounts to such Facility Mortgagee or, pursuant to written direction by Lessor,
Lessee shall make such deposits directly with 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
18
<PAGE> 19
commonly known as "All Risk" and all physical loss perils, including sprinkler
leakage and business interruption, in an amount not less than 90% of 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 rental value insurance policy covering risk
of loss during the first 6 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 $5,000,000.00 per occurrence in respect of bodily injury
and death and $5,000,000.00 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.
19
<PAGE> 20
12.2 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 the insurance company which is then providing the largest
amount of casualty insurance carried on the Leased Property, hereinafter
referred to as the "impartial appraiser. 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.
12.3 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.
12.4 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. All insurance policies 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.
12.5 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 for 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
20
<PAGE> 21
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.
12.6 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 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.
12.7 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 or the Management Company; 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.
12.8 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.
12.9 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
21
<PAGE> 22
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
13.1 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.
13.2 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 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 Repurchase Price 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).
22
<PAGE> 23
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 offer, either:
(i) offer either (A) to acquire that Leased Property from
Lessor for a purchase price equal to the Minimum Repurchase Price 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 Repurchase Price 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) or option
(ii), and if option (i) 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), 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
23
<PAGE> 24
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.
13.3 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 Repurchase Price 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
13.4 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.
13.5 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
24
<PAGE> 25
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.
13.6 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.
13.7 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.
13.8 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.
13.9 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
14.1 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.
14.2 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
25
<PAGE> 26
Charges paid or payable hereunder shall be apportioned and paid to the Date of
Taking.
14.3 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 Repurchase Price 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
(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) or option
(iii), and if option (ii) 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
before the partial Taking, or (b) terminate the offer and this Lease by written
notice to Lessor.
14.4 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.
14.5 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
26
<PAGE> 27
to and be paid to Lessor; provided that if this Lease is terminated in
accordance with Section 14.2 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 any 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.
14.6 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.
14.7 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 and Lease obligations 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
15.1 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 (i) any other lease or other
agreement between Lessor or any of its Affiliates and Lessee or any of its
Affiliates, (b) any Support Document, or (c) the Development Agreement; or
(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 shall
continue for a period of ten calendar days after written notice from Lessor to
Lessee; or
(c) Lessee shall fail to observe or perform any other term covenant or
condition of this
27
<PAGE> 28
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); or
(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 and such petition is not discharged
within sixty days of filing, (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, or (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; or
(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 $1,000,000.00 in the aggregate and
the same shall be accelerated by the lenders or other applicable parties; or
(f) Lessee shall default beyond any applicable grace period contained
in one or more of the Leases; or
(g) any certificate, financial statement or information, or any
representation or warranty provided herein or pursuant to this Lease by Lessee
should prove to be false or misleading in any material respect. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, it shall not be an Event of Default hereunder if upon discovering
such false or misleading statements and before Lessor relies upon the same (i)
Lessor notifies Lessee and (ii) Lessee, within ten (10) days of such notice,
takes appropriate action necessary to correct such false or misleading
statements.
15.2 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 but shall have no
absolute
28
<PAGE> 29
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 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), 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 Repurchase Price 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
29
<PAGE> 30
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 lowest rate of
capitalization (highest present worth) reasonably consistent with industry
standards at the time of such determination and allowed by applicable law.
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
15.3 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), 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 and a reasonable allowance for Lessor's administrative efforts, salaries
and overhead attributable directly or indirectly to Lessee's default and
Lessor's pursuing the rights and remedies provided herein and under applicable
law.
15.4 WAIVER. If this Lease is terminated pursuant to law or the
provisions of this Article XV, Lessee waives, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, (a) any right of redemption, reentry or repossession and (b) the
benefit of any laws now or hereafter in force exempting property from liability
for rent or for debt.
15.5 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.
15.6 NOTICES BY LESSOR. The provisions of this Article XV concerning
notices shall be
30
<PAGE> 31
liberally construed insofar as the contents of such notices are concerned, and
any such notice shall be sufficient if it shall generally apprise Lessee of the
nature and approximate extent of any default.
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 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 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
31
<PAGE> 32
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
Repurchase Price in accordance with Article XXVIII. All expenses of such
conveyance, including the cost of title examination or standard coverage title
insurance, 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 under
applicable Legal Requirements as they exist on the date hereof, 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; provided Lessor is a real estate
investment trust thereunder.
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 l/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.
ARTICLE XIX

<PAGE> 33
ABANDONMENT
19.1 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).
19.2 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 Repurchase Price on the
first Payment Date occurring not less than 120 days after the date of such
Officer's Certificate.
19.3 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 Repurchase Price 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.
ARTICLE XX
SUBSTITUTION OF PROPERTY
20.1 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
33
<PAGE> 34
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) 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) under applicable
Legal Requirements as they exist on the date hereof, 1997, 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 to 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
(f) The Minimum Repurchase Price of any Substitute Property or
Substitute Properties shall be an amount equal to the Minimum Repurchase Price
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.
20.2 CONDITIONS TO SUBSTITUTION. On the Substitution Date, the
Substitute Property will become the Leased Property hereunder upon delivery by
Lessee to Lessor of the following, items in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Lessor:
(a) an Officer's Certificate representing, warranting and certifying
that (i) the Substitute Property has been accepted by Lessee for all purposes of
this Lease and there has been no material damage to the improvements located on
the Substitute Property nor is any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding
pending with respect thereto; (ii) all permits, licenses and certificates
(including a permanent, unconditional certificate of occupancy and, to the
extent permitted by law, all certificates of need and licenses) which are
necessary to permit the use
35
<PAGE> 36
of the Substitute Property in accordance with the provisions of this Lease have
been obtained and are in full force and effect; (iii) under applicable zoning
and use laws, ordinances, rules and regulations the Substitute Property may be
used for the purposes contemplated by Lessee and all necessary subdivision
approvals have been obtained; (iv) there are no mechanic's or materialmen's
liens outstanding or threatened to the knowledge of Lessee against the
Substitute Property arising out of or in connection with the construction of the
improvements thereon, other than those being contested by Lessee pursuant to
Article XI; (v) any mechanic's or materialmen's liens being contested by Lessee
will be promptly paid by Lessee if such contest is resolved in favor of the
mechanic or materialman; (vi) to the best knowledge of Lessee, there exists no
Event of Default under this Lease, and no defense, offset or claim exists with
respect to any sums to be paid by Lessee hereunder; and (vii) any exceptions to
Lessor's title to the Substitute Property do not materially interfere with the
intended use of the Substitute Property by Lessee;
(b) a special warranty deed with warranties against claims arising
under Lessee conveying to Lessor title to the Substitute Property free and clear
of any liens and encumbrances except those approved in writing or assumed by
Lessor;
(c) a lease duly executed, acknowledged and delivered by Lessee,
containing the same terms and conditions as are contained herein, except that
(i) the legal description of the Land shall refer to the Substitute Property,
(ii) the Minimum Repurchase Price, Rent and any Additional Charges for the
Substitute Property shall be consistent with the requirements of Section 20.1
and (iii) such other changes therein as may be necessary or appropriate under
the circumstances shall be made;
(d) a standard owner's or lessee's (as applicable) policy of title
insurance covering the Substitute Property (or a valid, binding, unconditional
commitment therefor), dated the Substitution Date, in current form and including
mechanics' and materialmen's lien coverage, issued to Lessor by a title
insurance company reasonably satisfactory to Lessor. Such policy shall (i)
insure (A) Lessor's fee title to the Substitute Property, subject to no liens or
encumbrances except those approved or assumed by Lessor, and (B) that any
restrictions affecting the Substitute Property have not been violated and that
further violation thereof will not result in a forfeiture or reversion of title,
(ii) be in an amount at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the Substitute
Property, and (iii) contain such endorsements as may be reasonably requested by
Lessor;
(e) certificates of insurance with respect to the Substitute Property
fulfilling the requirements of Article XII;
(f) current appraisals or other evidence satisfactory to Lessor, in its
sole discretion, as to the current Fair Market Values of such Substitute
Property;

Lessee's most recent Fiscal-Year end, or for the most recent three years,
whichever is less; and
(h) such other certificates, documents, opinions of counsel (which may
be in-house counsel), and other instruments as may be reasonably required by
Lessor.
20.3 CONVEYANCE TO LESSEE. On the Substitution Date Lessor will convey
the Leased Property to Lessee in accordance with the provisions of Article XVII
(except as to payment of any expenses in connection therewith which shall be
governed by Section 20.4 below) upon either (a) payment in cash therefor or (b)
conveyance to Lessor of the Substitute Property, as appropriate.
20.4 EXPENSES. Lessee shall pay or cause to be paid, on demand, all
reasonable costs and expenses paid or incurred by Lessor in connection with the
substitution and conveyance of the Leased Property and the Substitute Property,
including (a) fees and expenses of Lessor's counsel, (b) the amount of any
recording taxes and filing fees, (c) the cost of preparing and recording, if
appropriate, a release of the Leased Property from the lien of any mortgage, (d)
broker's fees and commissions for Lessee, if any, (e) documentary stamp and
transfer taxes, if any, (f) title insurance charges, and (g) escrow fees, if
any.
ARTICLE XXI
RISK OF LOSS
Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, during the Term of this
Lease, the risk of loss or of decrease in the enjoyment and beneficial use of
the Leased Property in 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 those
claiming from, through or under Lessor) is assumed by Lessee and, Lessor shall
in no event be answerable or accountable therefor nor shall any of the events
mentioned in this Section entitle Lessee to any abatement of the Rent except as
specifically provided in this Lease.
37
<PAGE> 38
ARTICLE XXII
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
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
the terms of this Lease, (e) the non-performance of any of the terms and
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.
ARTICLE XXIII
SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT
23.1 SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT. Subject to the rights of Tenants under
existing Tenant Leases and subject to the provisions of Section 23.2 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
38
<PAGE> 39
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. No sublease or assignment shall
release Lessee from their obligations under the Lease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor's consent shall not be required
if Lessee's rights hereunder are assigned to or acquired by BCC or an Affiliate
of BCC as a result of an exercise by BCC of its rights under the Asset Purchase
Option or the Equity Option in accordance with the terms of the Shortfall
Funding Agreement or the Option Agreement, or under the Right of First Refusal
Agreement, and otherwise in accordance with the foregoing paragraph and the
other provisions of this Lease, and upon such assignment or acquisition the
obligations of Lessee and any guarantor which is BCC or an Affiliate of BCC
hereunder shall be extinguished.
23.2 NON-DISTURBANCE, SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT. Except for existing
Tenant Leases, Lessee shall insert in each sublease permitted under Section 23.1
provisions to the effect that (a) 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.

setting forth the modifications) the amounts of and the dates to which the Rent
has been paid, and such other matters regarding the Lease as Lessor may

an Event of Default;
(b) upon Lessor's request, within thirty (30) days of the end
of each calendar month, an aged accounts receivable report of the Facility from
Lessee in sufficient detail to show amounts due from each class of patient-mix

(g) within three (3) days of Lessee's receipt, any and all
notices (regardless of form) from any and all licensing and/or certifying
agencies that the license and/or any applicable reimbursement contract or
certification of 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
(h) Upon Lessor's request, evidence of payment by Lessee of
any applicable provider bed taxes or similar taxes, which taxes Lessee agrees to
pay.
The Lessee shall correct any deficiency within the date
required by any licensure and certification agency. Lessor reserves the right to
require such other financial information and tax returns of Lessee at such other
times as it shall deem necessary. All financial statements must be in such form
and detail as the Lessor shall from time to time request.
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 fully 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
41

Article.

ARTICLE XXVIII
APPRAISAL
In the event that it becomes necessary to determine the Fair Market
Value, Fair Market Value Purchase Price, the Fair Market Added Value, the
Minimum Repurchase Price 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
43
<PAGE> 44
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 to 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.
ARTICLE XXIX
PURCHASE RIGHTS
29.1 PURCHASE OPTION. Not more than 180 days prior to the end of the
Initial Term and each Extended Term exercised by Lessee pursuant to the terms of
Article 34, Lessee shall have the option to purchase the Leased Property upon
written notice to Lessor for a purchase price equal to the Minimum Repurchase
Price. If not sooner exercised, the option to purchase
44
<PAGE> 45
granted hereby will expire and be of no further force and effect upon the
expiration of the Term or the earlier termination of this Lease.
ARTICLE XXX
DEFAULT BY LESSOR
30.1 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 Price or the Minimum Repurchase Price 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.
30.2 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.
ARTICLE XXXI
ARBITRATION
45
<PAGE> 46
31.1 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.
31.2 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.
31.3 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.
31.4 ARBITRATION PROCEDURE. Said arbitrators shall give each to the

NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound

1. GRANT OF OPTION/CONSIDERATION. (a) Optionors hereby grant

and interest in and to the Equity Interests on the terms and conditions
provided herein. The Purchase Price for the Equity Interests
<PAGE> 2
shall be paid to Optionors on the Closing Date in immediately available funds.
The Option shall be exercisable by providing written notice to Optionors on or

TERM").
(b) In consideration of the grant of the Option to BCC, BCC shall
make the following payments (the "OPTION PAYMENTS") to Optionors: (1) no later
than twelve months following the issuance of the certificate of occupancy for
the Facility by the applicable governing body (the "FIRST PAYMENT DATE"), the
sum of $50,000 and (2) on that date which is twelve months after the First
Payment Date (the "SECOND PAYMENT DATE") and thereafter, on the first day of
each annual period following the Second Payment Date and for so long as this
Agreement is in effect (but ending in all events at the time of exercise of the
Option), the sum of $50,000. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, if the Option is exercised, BCC's obligation to make Option Payments
thereafter shall cease. Option Payments shall be made to Optionors without
demand or notice, except as expressly provided herein.
(c) Until BCC provides written notice of its exercise of the Option,
BCC shall be under no obligation whatsoever to purchase the Equity Interests or
exercise the Option, and shall not otherwise have any liability whatsoever
hereunder in connection with Option Payments or the purchase of the Equity
Interests. BCC may only exercise the Option with respect to all Equity Interests
of the Company. The Optionors shall allocate the Option Payments and the
Purchase Price in accordance with each Optionor's percentage interest in the
Company.
(d) The "PURCHASE PRICE" as used herein shall mean (i) all amounts

this Section 1(d), shall be paid to BCC or the BCC Affiliate (as appropriate) on
the Closing Date from the Purchase Price. Any amounts due and payable pursuant
to the Promissory Note on the Closing Date to the Lender or the Holder (as
defined in the Promissory Note), as the case may be, as provided in Subsection

such time and location in Pennsylvania as shall be designated by BCC upon three
(3) days prior written notice to Optionors (the "CLOSING DATE"). At the Closing
(i) BCC shall deliver the Purchase Price and (ii) Optionors shall deliver to BCC
(A) the certificates representing the original Equity Interests, together with
such powers and other instruments as BCC may request and (B) the certificate of
an appropriate officer of the Company stating that the transfer of the Equity
Interests to BCC has been recorded on the books and records of the Company, and
affirming to BCC such additional matters as BCC may reasonably request.
Additionally, both BCC and Optionors shall take such further actions and execute
and deliver such further documents and instruments as either party may
reasonably request. The Equity Interests shall be transferred to BCC free and
clear of all Liens and restrictions of any kind or nature, except for Liens in

full from the Purchase Price at the Closing to the extent that such Borrowings
remain unpaid. BCC shall have the right at the Closing to pay to the holder of
any note evidencing Borrowings from the Purchase Price the total amount
outstanding with respect to the Borrowings. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, in connection with the exercise of the Option, BCC and Optionors
agree that, at the time the Option is exercised, any amounts due under the
Promissory Note shall be paid in full to Lender or the Holder, as the case may
be, from the Purchase Price.

otherwise transfer (by operation of law or otherwise) any of Optionors' right,
title or interest under, in or to the Equity Interests, (ii) cause or permit the
Company to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate, change its capital
structure, issue new or substitute equity interests (including the issuance of
warrants) or sell, convey, assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of

WHEREAS, Capstone Capital of Virginia, Inc., an Alabama corporation
("LESSOR") entered into that certain Lease dated as of the Documentation Date

whereby Lessee has appointed the Management Firm as the exclusive manager and

WHEREAS, Lessee has granted to Lessor that certain Line of Credit
Leasehold Deed of Trust dated as of the Documentation Date (the "FIRST LEASEHOLD
MORTGAGE") whereby Lessee has granted to Lessor a first priority security
interest in Lessee's leasehold interest in the Lease as more fully provided in
the First Leasehold Mortgage; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of that certain Promissory Note dated as
of the Documentation Date by and between Lessee and CAPSTONE CAPITAL
CORPORATION, a Maryland corporation ("LENDER"), (the "PROMISSORY NOTE"), Lender
has agreed to advance to Lessee certain amounts to fund certain operational
losses anticipated in connection with the Facility, as more particularly set

be advanced under the Promissory Note shall equal the Working Capital Reserve

<PAGE> 2
NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the
parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
FUNDING SHORTFALLS
SECTION 1.01 FUNDING; WORKING CAPITAL RESERVE. (a) Lessee hereby
permits BCC and the Management Firm to request Fundings (as defined in the
Promissory Note) from the Lender in accordance with the terms of the Promissory
Note to fund operating deficits with respect to the Facility.
(b) In the event that Lender defaults in the timely payment of Fundings
into the Working Capital Reserve as provided in Section 1.01(a), Member agrees
that BCC shall have the right at any time thereafter, but not the obligation, to
require that the Member sell all of the Equity Interests to BCC or its designee

purchase price for the Equity Interests shall be the amount of Fundings actually
deposited into the Cash Collateral Account. In such event, all terms and
conditions of the sale applicable to the Option shall be equally applicable to
the sale under this Section 1.01(c), and the failure by the Member to close on
such sale within 3 days after written notice from BCC (time being of the
essence) shall constitute an Event of Default.
(c) The Member and the Lessee acknowledge and agree that (i) each
Funding is not in any way evidence of a loan from any Member to Lessee, (ii)
Management Firm may request from Lender Fundings under the Promissory Note at
any time Management Firm believes, in its sole discretion, such Fundings are
required to pay Shortfalls, (iii) any Indebtedness incurred by Lessee under the
Promissory Note shall be fully guaranteed at all times individually by the
Members, and (iv) Lessor and Management Firm may withdraw funds from the Working
Capital Reserve to fund Shortfalls with respect to the Facility as provided in
the Transaction Documents and the Lease Documents.
SECTION 1.02 ADVANCES. Upon complete depletion of the Working Capital
Reserve after all Fundings have been advanced by Lender pursuant to the terms
and conditions of the Promissory Note up to the principal amount of the
Promissory Note, and to the extent thereafter of any Shortfall, BCC hereby
agrees to advance from time to time funds to the Lessee or the Lessor on behalf
of the Lessee, as the case may be, upon no less than three (3) days prior
written notice, upon the terms and conditions provided herein (each advance
being an "ADVANCE" and collectively, the "ADVANCES"). Advances shall be
evidenced by one or more promissory notes issued by the Lessee in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "NOTES"). The Notes shall be payable upon
demand. Interest shall accrue on the Notes at the rate of 2% over the Prime Rate
as announced from time to time in the Wall Street Journal (or, in the event of
the discontinuance of the publishing of the Prime Rate in the Wall Street
Journal, such other source as the parties may agree), and shall be payable in
arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter. All sums owed under the Notes
and hereunder to BCC, and all other obligations and covenants under the
Transaction Documents applicable to Lessee and the Member (including the
obligations of each Member under the Option Agreement), together with all
interest payable under the
2
<PAGE> 3
Transaction Documents and all other costs and expenses payable by Lessee or any
Member to or for the benefit of BCC or any BCC Affiliate (including
indemnification and defense obligations) are referred to herein as the
"OBLIGATIONS".
SECTION 1.03 ASSET PURCHASE OPTION. The Lessee and the Member hereby
grant to BCC an option (the "ASSET PURCHASE OPTION") to purchase all of the
assets of the Lessee (including the option to take an assignment of the Lease)
for the Asset Purchase Price. The Asset Purchase Option may be exercised by BCC
by providing written notice to the Lessee at any time during the term of the
Lease. The closing of the purchase of the assets of the Lessee shall take place
within 30 days after BCC exercises the Asset Purchase Option at such location in
Pennsylvania as BCC may designate. At the closing of the asset purchase, the
Lessee shall transfer, assign and convey to BCC (or its designee) all assets of
Lessee, free and clear of all Liens and restrictions of any kind or nature,
except for Liens or restrictions in favor of the Lessor pursuant to the Lease
Documents or in favor of BCC pursuant to the Transaction Documents (provided,
however, Liens in favor of BCC securing Advances or other Obligations shall be
paid in full by Lessee and the Member at the closing of the asset purchase). The
Lessee (and the Member if requested by BCC) shall execute and deliver at the
closing of the asset purchase an assignment of lease (assigning the Lease to the
purchaser), a bill of sale conveying all other assets of the Lessee and such
other documents and instruments as BCC may reasonably request, all in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to BCC. The "ASSET PURCHASE PRICE" as used
herein shall mean (i) all amounts due under the Promissory Note and the other
Loan Documents including the Working Capital Reserve, plus (ii) an amount which,
when combined with all Option Payments made pursuant to Section 2(b) of the
Option Agreement equals $250,000, plus (iii) the aggregate amount of all
Advances and all other Obligations due and payable by Lessee or the Member to
BCC or a BCC Affiliate through the closing date (exclusive of the Management
Fee). All Advances and all other Obligations due and payable by Lessee or the
Member to BCC or a BCC Affiliate through the closing date of the asset purchase
shall be payable from the Asset Purchase Price to BCC or the BCC Affiliate, as
appropriate. Lessee and Member agree that if the Asset Purchase Option is
exercised, at the time of the closing of the Asset Purchase Option, any amounts
due under the Promissory Note, and all other sums due Lender in connection
therewith, shall be paid to Lender from the Purchase Price.
SECTION 1.04 TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS. In addition to the Notes, and to
better secure the performance of Lessee and Member hereunder and under the other
Transaction Documents, Lessee and the Member (as applicable) have executed and
delivered the following:
(i) the Lease and the other Lease Documents to which either is
a party;

Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B encumbering the

<PAGE> 4
(v) such other documents, certificates, powers, affidavits and

In addition to the foregoing documents, Member has executed and
delivered to BCC the Option Agreement (the "OPTION AGREEMENT")
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, whereby Member
has agreed that BCC shall have an option to purchase the Equity
Interests of each Member in Lessee, on the terms and conditions
provided therein.
SECTION 1.05 INTEREST PAYMENTS. In no event shall the amount of
interest due or payable pursuant to any Transaction Document exceed the maximum
rate of interest allowed by Law and, in the event any such payment is
inadvertently paid by the Lessee or the Member or inadvertently received by BCC
or any BCC Affiliate, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of
principal due to BCC or any BCC Affiliate. It is the express intention of the
parties hereto that neither the Lessee nor the Member pay to BCC, directly or
indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be
lawfully paid by the Lessee.
SECTION 1.06 INTENTION. It is the intention of BCC, the Member and
Lessee that (i) the Management Firm operate the Facility pursuant to the
Management Agreement, (ii) Lessee include on its financial statements all
revenues, expenses and losses with respect to the Facility during the term of
this Agreement for accounting purposes, and (iii) Advances made hereunder and
all other obligations of Lessee and the Member under the Transaction Documents
be secured by the assets of Lessee (including without limitation the Second
Leasehold Mortgage), but subject to the rights of Lessor under the Lease,
regardless of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar proceedings
instituted by or against Lessee. BCC, each Member and Lessee agree to take no
position inconsistent with the intention of the parties as herein stated.

FORM OF WORKING CAPITAL ASSURANCE AGREEMENT
---------------
THIS WORKING CAPITAL ASSURANCE AGREEMENT ("AGREEMENT") is made as of
June 15, 1998, by and between Balanced Care Corporation, a Delaware corporation,
with a principal place of business at c/o BCC Development and Management Co.,
5021 Louise Drive, Suite 200, Mechanicsburg, PA 17055 ("BCC") and Capstone
Capital of Virginia, an Alabama corporation (the "LESSOR") and for the benefit
of Capstone Capital Corporation, a Maryland corporation ("LENDER"), both with a
principal place of business at 1000 Urban Center Drive, Suite 630, Birmingham,
Alabama 35242.
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, ALCO __, L.L.C., a North Carolina limited liability company
(the "LESSEE"), executed and delivered that certain Lease dated as of the date
hereof (the "LEASE") whereby Lessee leased from Lessor property, together with
all improvements now or hereafter located thereon, as more fully described in
the Lease (the "PROPERTY"); and
WHEREAS, BCC and Lessee have entered into that certain Shortfall
Funding Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the "SHORTFALL AGREEMENT")
whereby, among other matters, BCC will make certain loans to the Lessee as more
fully described therein; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of that certain Promissory Note dated as
of the date hereof by and between Lessee and Lender (the "PROMISSORY NOTE"),
Lender has agreed to make advances ("FUNDINGS") to Lessee of up to $600,000 to
fund certain operational losses anticipated in connection with the Facility, on
the terms and conditions set forth in the Promissory Note; and
WHEREAS, because Charles E. Trefzger, John K. Earl, James R. Hodges, W.
Lee Young, III, and William C. Thompson, individuals resident of the State of
North Carolina (collectively, the "MEMBERS"), as the sole members of Lessee,
shall receive a direct benefit from the advances made under the Promissory Note,
have executed and delivered to the Lender that certain Guaranty dated as of the
date hereof, guarantying the obligations of Lessee under the Promissory Note
(the "GUARANTY"); and
WHEREAS, capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein
shall have the same meanings as ascribed to such terms in the Lease; and
WHEREAS, as additional security for (i) Lessee's obligations to Lender
under the Promissory Note (securing payment of principal and interest thereunder
when due, whether by regularly scheduled payments, at maturity, or acceleration
or otherwise) and the First Leasehold Mortgage and Members' obligations to
Lender under the Guaranty (collectively, the "LOAN
<PAGE> 2
OBLIGATIONS") and (ii) Lessee's obligations to Lessor under the Lease and the
other Lease Documents (as defined in Appendix 1 attached to the Shortfall
Agreement ("APPENDIX 1")) (the "LEASE OBLIGATIONS"), the Lessor and the Lender
have requested the execution and delivery of this Agreement.
NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration paid by each of the
parties hereto to the other, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged and in consideration of the covenants and agreements set forth
herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Subject to the terms of Section 4 hereof, from the date hereof
until the complete payment and performance of the Lease Obligations and Loan
Obligations, BCC unconditionally agrees to loan to the Lessee by means of
working capital loans (collectively, the "WORKING CAPITAL LOANS") sufficient
funds to pay and satisfy Shortfalls (as defined in Appendix 1) due and payable
during any month. Such Working Capital Loans shall be made pursuant to the
Shortfall Agreement.
2. Subject to the terms of Section 4 hereof, without regard to
any bankruptcy of Lessee or any default, breach of condition or failure to
satisfy any condition to the making of Working Capital Loans under the Shortfall
Agreement, BCC shall, without further direction, advance to the Lessee the
amount equal to the Shortfall in a timely fashion so that the Lessee is able to
meet all of its working capital obligations (including, without limitation, the
Lease Obligations and Loan Obligations) when due and so that the payments due
under the Lease and the Promissory Note are made in a timely fashion.
3. BCC acknowledges that the covenants and agreements made
hereunder by BCC are being made to (a) induce the Lessor to enter into and
accept the Lease, (b) enable the Lessee, subject to the terms of Section 4
hereof, to fulfill its working capital obligations, including, without
limitation, the Lease Obligations and Loan Obligations, and (c) induce the
Lender to accept the Promissory Note, the Guaranty and the First Leasehold
Mortgage and to lend to Lessee the sums to be advanced under the Promissory Note
in accordance with the terms thereof. Accordingly, it is expressly intended by
BCC that the covenants and agreements by BCC hereunder may be relied upon and
enforced by the Lessor and the Lender, as applicable.
4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein,
BCC's obligation to provide the Working Capital Loans and advance Shortfalls to
the Lessee shall not commence until such time as the full amount of the Working
Capital Reserve required to be funded pursuant to the Promissory Note has
actually been funded and depleted.
5. The obligations of BCC hereunder shall not be affected by the
termination, discontinuance, release or modification of any agreement from any
maker, endorser, surety or guarantor of the Lease Obligations or the Loan
Obligations.
6. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or
in the Lease, the Lessor hereby covenants and agrees with BCC that the Lessor
shall not amend, modify or
- 2 -
<PAGE> 3
otherwise alter the Lease or any other document executed in connection therewith
(collectively, the "LEASE DOCUMENTS") without BCC's prior written consent, in
each instance, which consent, shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed.
In addition, the Lessor hereby covenants and agrees with BCC that,
except in connection with the exercise of any of its rights and/or remedies
under the Lease Documents, the Lessor shall not terminate the Lease without the
prior written consent of BCC, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed.
7. The obligations of BCC hereunder shall not be affected by any
change in the beneficial ownership of the Lessee or by reason of any disability
of the Lessee. This Agreement shall be in addition to any guaranty or other
security for the Lease Obligations and the Loan Obligations, and shall not be
prejudiced or rendered unenforceable by the invalidity of any such guaranty or
security. This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the
case may be, if, at any time, any payment of the Lease Obligations or the Loan
Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Lessor or Lender,
as the case may be, upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the
Lessee or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
8. (a) Without limiting BCC's obligation to provide the Working
Capital Loans, upon the occurrence of any default under any of the Lease
Documents, BCC shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such
default within any applicable notice and grace periods (or in the event of no
grace period, within 3 days after receipt by BCC of notice of such default) and,
to the extent permitted by law, enter upon the Property, if necessary, for such
purpose and take all such actions as BCC may deem necessary or appropriate to
remedy such default. The Lessor agrees to give written notice to BCC of any
default by Lessee under the Lease or any other Lease Document of which Lessor
becomes aware. The Lessor agrees to accept any remedy performed by BCC as if the
same had been performed by the Lessee.
(b) Lessor acknowledges that BCC has the right to acquire all
of the assets of Lessee pursuant to the Shortfall Agreement or all of the Equity
Interests (as defined in the Shortfall Agreement) pursuant to the Option
Agreement (as defined in the Shortfall Agreement). In the event that BCC or a
BCC Affiliate (as defined in Appendix 1) exercises its rights to acquire either
the assets or the Equity Interests, (A) Lessor hereby consents to the transfer
of the Lease to BCC or the BCC Affiliate, and shall recognize such purchaser as
Lessee under the Lease and other Lease Documents so long as (i) such purchaser
executes and delivers to Lessor such documents, instruments, affidavits and
opinions as Lessor may reasonably request and (ii) in the event the purchaser is
an affiliate of BCC, BCC shall provide a guaranty of the Lease Obligations in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and (B) Lessor shall
release Lessee and any guarantor of Lessee's obligations upon the consummation
of such transfer; provided, however, that if an Event of Default (as defined in
the Lease) under the Lease has occurred and is continuing at the time the Lease
is transferred to BCC or a BCC Affiliate pursuant to this Section 8(b), such
transfer shall not be deemed a waiver by Lessor of such Event of Default.

11. This Agreement and BCC's obligations hereunder shall
automatically terminate upon the purchase by BCC or a BCC Affiliate of all of
the issued and outstanding equity of the Lessee or substantially all of the
assets of Lessee.
12. The Lessor covenants and agrees with BCC that the Lessor shall
not consent to any assignment of the Lessee's interest under the Lease (except
to BCC or BCC Affiliate, or as otherwise expressly provided in Section 8(b) of
this Agreement) or any transfer of substantially all of the Lessee's assets or
any transfer of the issued and outstanding equity of the Lessee without the
prior written consent of BCC, which consent, BCC may withhold in its sole and
absolute discretion. In addition, in the event that, in violation of the terms
of the Lease, (a) the Lessee attempts to assign its interest in the Lease (or
transfer substantially all of its assets), (b) the current holders of the issued
and outstanding equity of the Lessee attempt to transfer any such equity or (c)
if any of the events described in Section 15.1 of the Lease relating to the
bankruptcy or insolvency of the Lessee occurs, the Lessor covenants and agrees
with BCC that, at the request of BCC and subject to applicable law, the Lessor
shall terminate the Lease (in accordance with the terms thereof) and shall enter
into a new lease of the Property with BCC (or any of its wholly-owned
subsidiaries ("SUBSIDIARIES"), provided, that, BCC executes and delivers a
guaranty of any such lease, in form and substance acceptable to the Lessor), in
form and substance acceptable to the Lessor; provided, however, that any such
lease shall be substantially similar to the Lease. In connection with the
execution and delivery of any such lease, (y) BCC and its Subsidiaries shall
execute and deliver any additional documents that the Lessor may request, in
form and substance similar to the Lease Documents and (z) BCC shall deliver to
the Lessor such evidence as Lessor shall request, in form and substance
acceptable to the Lessor, that the new lease and all other documents executed
and delivered in connection therewith have been duly authorized, executed and
delivered and are enforceable. BCC agrees to pay all of the costs and expenses
reasonably incurred by the Lessor (including, without limitation, attorneys'
fees and expenses) in connection with the performance of the Lessor's
obligations under this Section 12.
13. (a) Entire Agreement . This Agreement contains the entire
understanding among the parties hereto with respect to its subject matter and
supersedes any prior understandings or agreements between the parties with
respect to such subject matter.
(b) Amendments. This Agreement may be modified or amended
only by a written instrument executed by the Lessor and BCC.
(c) Severability. If any term or other provision of this
Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law,
or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall
nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the substance of the
transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner adverse to any
party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid,
illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in
good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the

transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

ACTION (A) ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY PERTAINING OR RELATING TO THIS
AGREEMENT, (B) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR PERTAINING OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis addresses the Company's results of
operations on a historical basis for the years ended June 30, 1998, 1997 and
1996, and liquidity and capital resources of the Company. This information
should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial
statements, and related notes thereto, contained elsewhere in this report. This
report contains, in addition to historical information, forward looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results
could differ materially. Factors that could cause or contribute to such
differences include, but are not limited to, those disclosed in "Risk Factors,"
in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1998.
OVERVIEW
The Company was formed in April 1995 to develop senior care continuums which
meet the needs of upper middle, middle and moderate income populations in
non-urban, secondary markets. The Company intends to utilize assisted living
facilities in selected markets as the primary entry point and service platform
to develop the balanced care continuums consisting of various health care and
hospitality services, including, where appropriate, rehabilitation therapies,
physical, occupational and speech therapy, home health care services on an
intermittent basis, dementia and Alzheimer's services and skilled/subacute care
delivered in a skilled nursing setting.
On February 18, 1998, the Company completed its initial public offering for
7,000,000 shares of its common stock, par value $.001 per share ("Common Stock")
at a price of $6.50 per share (the "Offering"). Concurrent with the Offering,
the 5,009,750 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and the 1,150,958 shares of
Series A Preferred Stock were converted into 4,620,532 shares of Common Stock
(reflective of the three-for-four reverse split of Common Stock effective
October 14, 1997). In connection with the Offering, the Company granted the
underwriters an option to purchase 1,050,000 additional shares of Common Stock
at $6.50 per share. The closing for this option was on March 17, 1998. After the
Offering, the conversion of the preferred stock and the exercise of the
underwriters' option, the Company has 16,695,343 shares of Common Stock
outstanding. The Offering, including the exercise of the underwriters' option,
generated proceeds to the Company of approximately $46,357,000, net of costs and
underwriting discounts and commissions. The proceeds were used to repay
indebtedness of approximately $29,675,000 incurred to fund the purchase of four
acquisitions (seven facilities) completed from October 1997 through January
1998, and to pay off indebtedness of $5,019,000 related to the Company's
Wisconsin assisted living facilities in anticipation of their sale. The balance
of the Offering will be used for general corporate purposes, and possible future
acquisitions.
The Company has grown primarily through acquisitions and by designing,
developing and opening its Outlook Pointe signature assisted living facilities.
As of June 30, 1998, the Company had 12 of its Outlook Pointe facilities in
operation, of which one is leased and 11 are managed. As of that date, the
Company operated a total of 37 assisted living facilities, 13 skilled nursing
facilities and four independent living facilities in Pennsylvania, Missouri,
Arkansas, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin, as well as a home health
care agency in Missouri and rehabilitation therapy operations in Pennsylvania
and Arkansas. Assuming completion of the planned divestiture of the Company's
seven owned assisted living facilities in Wisconsin, at June 30, 1998 the
Company owned nine, leased 27 and managed 11 senior living and health care
facilities with a capacity for 1,729 assisted living residents, 1,294 skilled
nursing patients and 120 independent living residents. In addition to the 12
Outlook Pointe facilities opened as of June 30, 1998, the Company has signed
agreements to develop and manage 36 assisted living facilities currently under
construction, which are scheduled to open from July 1998 through August 1999.
The following table summarizes the Company's operating facilities:

</TABLE>
Historically, the Company has generated revenues from three primary sources:
patient services, resident services and other revenues. Patient services
revenues include charges for room and board, rehabilitation therapies, pharmacy,
medical supplies, subacute care and other programs provided to patients in
skilled nursing facilities as well as rehabilitation services provided to
assisted living facility residents. Resident services include all revenues
earned from services provided to assisted living facility residents except for
therapies and home health care services provided by the Company's licensed
agencies which are included in patient services revenues. Other revenues include
development fees, management fees and miscellaneous other revenues. Development
fees and management fees are earned for developing and managing assisted living
facilities for real estate investment trusts ("REIT"), and other owners or
lessees. As the Company implements its business plan, management believes that
the mix of the Company's revenues may change and that revenues from assisted
living resident services, development and management activities will increase as
a percentage of total revenues.
The Company classifies its operating expenses into the following categories: (i)
facility operating expenses which include labor, food, marketing, rehabilitation
therapy costs and other direct facility expenses; (ii) development, general and
administrative expenses, which primarily include

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS continued
corporate office expenses, regional office expenses, development expenses and
other overhead costs; (iii) lease expense, which includes rent for the
facilities operated by the Company as well as corporate office and other rent;
and (iv) depreciation and amortization. In anticipation of its planned growth,
the Company has made significant investments in its infrastructure during fiscal
1997 and 1998. These investments include attracting management and regional
personnel and installing information systems to support and manage growth.

</TABLE>
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED
TO THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1997
Total Revenue. Total revenue for fiscal 1998 increased by $41,201,000 to
$90,681,000 compared to $49,480,000 for fiscal 1997. This increase was the
result of: (i) patient and resident service revenues of $28,039,000 primarily
from facilities acquired or opened, during or subsequent to the 1997 fiscal
year; and (ii) increased development and management fee revenues of $12,944,000
due to the Company's expanded development and management efforts.
Patient services comprised 64% and 84% of total revenues for fiscal 1998 and
fiscal 1997, respectively. The decrease in the percentage of total revenues was
due to the Company's focus on assisted living operations and development. The
high percentage of patient services revenues to total revenues in relation to
the number of skilled nursing facilities to total facilities is due to the
significantly higher rate and cost structures of the skilled nursing facilities.
Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses increased by $34,934,000 to
$88,201,000 for fiscal 1998 from $53,267,000 for fiscal 1997. The increase in
total operating expenses in 1998 is attributable primarily to: (i) increases in
facility operating expenses as a result of new facilities which were developed
and acquired; and (ii) increases in development, general and administrative
expenditures related to building the Company's infrastructure to support and
manage its development and growth.
Facility operating expenses for fiscal 1998 increased by $24,800,000 to
$64,713,000 from $39,913,000 for fiscal 1997. The increase in 1998 is the result
of new facilities which were developed or acquired, during or after the 1997
fiscal year. As a percentage of total revenue, facility operating expenses were
71.4% for 1998 and 80.8% for 1997. The percentage decreased due to the change in
the revenue mix including the increase in development and management fees.
Development, general and administrative expenses increased by $6,224,000 to
$11,877,000 for fiscal 1998 from $5,653,000 for fiscal 1997. As a percentage of
total revenue, these expenses increased to 13.1% for 1998 from 11.4% for 1997.
Of the $6,224,000 increase in 1998, approximately $3,629,000 resulted from labor
costs relating to the addition of new corporate and regional office staff to
plan and manage the Company's actual and anticipated development and growth. The
remaining $2,595,000 was attributable to other marketing, consulting,
development, travel and other general expenses related to the Company's growth.
Lease expense increased to $9,442,000 for fiscal 1998 from $5,417,000 for fiscal
1997, an increase of $4,025,000. This increase is the result of new facilities
which were developed or acquired, during or after the 1997 fiscal year. As a
percentage of total revenue, these expenses totaled 10.4% for 1998 and 10.9% for
1997.
Depreciation and amortization increased by $1,476,000 to $2,169,000 for fiscal
1998 from $693,000 for fiscal 1997. This increase resulted from the additional
depreciation and amortization on assets acquired and goodwill recorded as a
result of acquisitions.
In June 1997, management determined that the Wisconsin market did not provide
adequate opportunity to achieve the operational efficiencies necessary to
operate profitably. At June 30, 1997, the Company committed to a plan for the
disposal of its Wisconsin assisted living facilities. A non-recurring non-cash
charge of $1,591,000 was recorded in fiscal 1997 to write these assets down to
their estimated fair value. In July 1998 the Company entered into a letter of
intent to sell the assets of the Wisconsin facilities to an unrelated third
party for $2,900,000, which approximates book value. The transaction is expected
to close by October 31, 1998. Management does not expect this transaction to
have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

<PAGE> 4
Other Income (Expense). Interest and other income for fiscal 1998 increased by
$450,000 to $715,000 from $265,000 in fiscal 1997. The increase is attributable
to the higher level of invested funds due to receipt of proceeds from the sale
of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in fiscal 1997 and the
Offering in fiscal 1998. Interest expense for fiscal 1998 increased by $881,000
to $1,798,000 from $917,000 in fiscal 1997. This was primarily due to the
interest on the $29,675,000 of bridge financing borrowed for the purchase of six
assisted living facilities and one skilled nursing facility from October 1997
through January 1998. The acquisition bridge financing was repaid on February
26, 1998 with proceeds of the Offering. The gain on sale of assets in fiscal
1998 was the result of the Company's sale of the principal assets and the
operations of a pharmacy in October 1997 for approximately $4,700,000, net of
transaction costs. This resulted in a non-recurring gain of $2,858,000.
Provision for Income Taxes. Income tax expense of $680,000 for 1998 is based on
the Company's estimated effective tax rate of 16% for the 1998 fiscal year. The
effective rate is lower than the statutory rate due to the reversal of a
valuation allowance on deferred tax assets from net operating losses. The
effective tax rate after the 1998 fiscal year is expected to approximate 40%.
Income tax expense of $53,000 for fiscal 1997 resulted from taxable income
reported on individual state corporate tax returns in states that do not permit
consolidated filings.
Net Income (Loss). The Company's net income increased to $3,575,000 for fiscal
1998 from a net loss of $(4,492,000) for fiscal 1997, an increase of $8,067,000.
This increase in net income resulted primarily from: (i) the pretax contribution
of $6,530,000 from increased development activities; (ii) the pharmacy gain of
$2,858,000; (iii) the pretax contribution of the 11 assisted living and three
skilled nursing facilities acquired in Pennsylvania from May 1996 through
January 1998 of $782,000; and (iv) the writedown of the Wisconsin facilities in
the 1997 fiscal year of $1,591,000. These amounts were partially offset by (i)
start-up operating losses of $1,376,000 from the Company's Outlook Pointe
facilities prior to the sale of the leasehold interests to an operator/lessee on
January 1, 1998; (ii) reduced profitability at the Company's Missouri skilled
nursing facilities of $1,098,000; (iii) increased losses at the Wisconsin
assisted living facilities held for sale of $318,000; and (iv) increased income
tax expense of $627,000.
Medicare Reimbursement Changes. The Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (the "Budget
Act") enacted sweeping changes in reimbursement methodology for skilled nursing
facilities. Beginning July 1, 1998, skilled nursing providers with year ends of
June 30, will be reimbursed under a fixed payment methodology based upon the
patient's level of care as opposed to a cost-based methodology. The new
methodology assigns patients into Resource Utilization Groupings ("RUG") that
have corresponding fixed per diems rates. The new methodology has a three (3)
year phase-in program whereby providers will receive a blending of historical
facility-specific cost and national average rates. The facility-specific costs
are based on 1995 audited cost reports. The national average rates are the
Health Care Financing Administration's ("HCFA's) compilation of all skilled
nursing cost reports with adjustments made to reduce or eliminate certain data.
The Company's skilled nursing facilities began utilizing this new rate
methodology on July 1, 1998. The Company estimates the new Medicare
reimbursement rates will reduce Medicare revenues at the skilled nursing
facilities by approximately $8,000,000 from fiscal 1998 levels. To maximize
operating results under the new regulations the Company has embarked upon a
program to reduce costs and manage acuity levels. These steps included: (i) a
renegotiation of therapy service contracts; (ii) a reduction of nursing costs
through managing hours worked to patient acuity; (iii) evaluation of the need
for high-cost programs; and (iv) consolidating and eliminating certain
non-patient related services. These operational changes are expected to reduce
operating costs by approximately $6,500,000 in fiscal 1999 from fiscal 1998
levels. The net result of these changes is an expected decline of $1,500,000 in
operating and pre-tax income in fiscal 1999 compared to fiscal 1998. These are
estimates based on the volume of Medicare business and the acuity of patients
experienced during fiscal 1998. Actual results in fiscal 1999 could vary
depending upon, among other things, the number and acuity of Medicare patients
admitted, and the Company's experience with programmatic management and cost
control.
The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the Budget Act upon future
operating results. While the Budget Act was passed in August 1997 specifics
relating to each business line will continue to be released until the year 2000.
The assumptions used by the Company to evaluate the Budget Act are based upon
the most accurate information available at this time. At present the Company
believes it is reacting to all of the known changes created by the Budget Act;
however, it cannot predict the impact of unforeseen reductions in anticipated
rates issued by the government.
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED
TO THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1996
Total Revenue. Total revenue for fiscal 1997 increased by $48,669,000 to
$49,480,000 from $811,000 in fiscal 1996 due mainly to the significant
acquisitions made during fiscal 1997.
Patient service revenues were $41,616,000 in fiscal 1997 due to the increase in
skilled nursing bed capacity from zero to 1,228 resulting from the Foster and
Keystone acquisitions. Resident services revenue increased by $6,041,000 due to
the increase in assisted and independent living resident capacity from 213 to
287 at June 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively. Development fees and other revenues
grew from $74,000 in fiscal 1996 to $1,086,000 in fiscal 1997 due primarily to
development fees of $1,015,000 earned on 14 facilities under construction for
health care REITs.
BALANCED CARE CORPORATION PAGE 15
<PAGE> 5
BALANCED CARE CORPORATION 1998 ANNUAL REPORT
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS continued
Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses for fiscal 1997 increased by
$51,642,000 to $53,267,000 from $1,625,000 in fiscal 1996. As a percentage of
total revenue, total operating expenses decreased to 107.7% in fiscal 1997 from
200.4% in fiscal 1996. The increase in total operating expenses in fiscal 1997
is attributable primarily to the growth in facility operating expenses, the
administrative expenditures related to building the Company's infrastructure to
support and manage its growth, lease expense, depreciation and the write-down of
long-lived assets.
Facility operating expenses for fiscal 1997 increased by $39,414,000 to
$39,913,000 (including $19,186,000 of salaries, wages and benefits) from
$499,000 in fiscal 1996. As a percentage of total revenue, facility operating
expenses increased to 80.8% in fiscal 1997 from 61.5% in fiscal 1996. Facility
operating expenses related to existing operations increased by $2,708,000 from
fiscal 1996 as these operations were owned by the Company for a full year in
fiscal 1997. The remainder of the facility operating expenses increase was
attributable to the operations acquired during fiscal 1997.
Development, general and administrative expenses for fiscal 1997 increased by
$4,653,000 to $5,653,000 from $1,000,000 in fiscal 1996. As a percentage of
total revenue, these expenses decreased to 11.4% in fiscal 1997 from 123.4% in
fiscal 1996 as a result of the Company's minimal total revenues in fiscal 1996.
Of the $4,653,000 increase in development, general and administrative expenses
in fiscal 1997, approximately $3,164,000 resulted from labor and travel costs
relating to the addition of new corporate and regional office staff to plan and
manage the Company's actual and anticipated growth and $1,489,000 was
attributable to marketing, consulting, development, pre-opening, accounting and
rent due to expansion of existing corporate office space and other general
expenses related to the Company's growth.
Lease expense for fiscal 1997 increased by $5,340,000 to $5,417,000 from $77,000
in fiscal 1996 as a result of the facility operating leases related to the
acquisitions made during fiscal 1997. As a percentage of total revenue, these
expenses increased to 10.9% in fiscal 1997 from 9.5% in fiscal 1996.
Depreciation and amortization for fiscal 1997 increased by $644,000 to $693,000
from $49,000 in fiscal 1996. Of this increase, $413,000 resulted from a full
year of depreciation on the seven owned Wisconsin assisted living facilities
acquired in May 1996 and the two owned Missouri skilled nursing facilities
acquired in August 1996 while $231,000 was due to goodwill amortization and
amortization of deferred financing and leasing cost relating primarily to the
Foster and Keystone acquisitions.
The year ended June 30, 1997 contains a non-cash charge of $1,591,000 as a
result of a write-down on the Wisconsin assisted living facilities held for
sale.
Other Income (Expense). Interest income for fiscal 1997 increased by $252,000 to
$265,000 from $13,000 in fiscal 1996. The increase is attributable to the higher
level of invested funds due to receipt of proceeds from the sale of shares of
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in fiscal 1997. Interest expense for fiscal
1997 increased by $815,000 to $917,000 from $102,000 in fiscal 1996 due
primarily to mortgage financing of $5,046,000 incurred in connection with the
acquisition of assisted living facilities in Wisconsin and $3,115,000 incurred
in connection with the acquisition of two skilled nursing facilities in
Missouri.
Provision for Income Taxes. Income tax expense in fiscal 1997 of $53,000
resulted from taxable income reported on individual state corporate tax returns
in states that do not permit consolidated filings.
Net Loss. Net loss for fiscal 1997 increased by $3,583,000 to $4,492,000 from
$909,000 in fiscal 1996. This increase is primarily attributable to the
write-down of long-lived assets of $1,591,000 in respect of the Company's
Wisconsin assisted living facilities and the increased development, general and
administrative expenses incurred to plan and manage the Company's actual and
anticipated growth.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
GENERAL
The Company has been able to achieve its development objectives in targeted
secondary markets more quickly than originally planned. The Company plans to
develop more than 40 additional Outlook Pointe facilities by June 30, 1999. The
estimated construction costs to complete these facilities is estimated to be
$350 to $400 million. The Company expects to continue its internal development
program in future years.
The Company has entered into non-binding letters of intent aggregating $465
million with six health care REITs and one other financial institution (combined
the "Owners"). These letters of intent represent arrangements whereby the Owners
will fund development projects or acquisitions and the Company will develop
assisted living facilities, or the Owners will acquire existing facilities
identified by the Company and lease them to the Company. Initial lease rates
under these arrangements are expected to range from 3.2% to 3.4% over the
10-year Treasury rate. Specific development projects and acquisitions require
approval of the Owners prior to the closing of a transaction. At June 30, 1998
approximately $235 million of the $465 million had not been utilized and
remained available to fund project development. The Company currently estimates
that its current resources and funding commitments will be sufficient to fund
its development programs for projects scheduled to commence through March 31,
1999 and which will be completed by approximately March 31, 2000. Volatility in
capital markets and specific transaction terms could affect the Company's
ability to utilize these non-binding commitments.
PAGE 16 BALANCED CARE CORPORATION
<PAGE> 6
The Company's recent and future development projects involve or are expected to
involve entering into development agreements with third party owners, which are,
or are expected to be, health care REITs. An independent third-party company
(the "Operator/Lessee") will lease the assisted living facility from the REIT
when construction has been completed and provide funding for working capital
during the initial occupancy period. The Company expects to manage the assisted
living facility pursuant to management agreements with the Operator/Lessee which
generally provide for terms of two to nine years. Each management agreement
provides or is generally expected to provide for annual fees approximating 6.0%
of net revenue of the facility. In exchange for an option payment the Company
will have the option to purchase the stock or assets of the Operator/Lessee at
an excercise price based on formulas set forth in the agreements at any time
during the term of the management agreement. The Company estimates that the
planned development projects for fiscal 1999 will require approximately $70
million of working capital commitments from Operator/Lessees during their
initial occupancy period which is expected to occur during fiscal 2000 and 2001
(assuming a one year construction period and a one year initial occupancy
period). In addition, the Company estimates that it will require approximately
$100 - $200 million through fiscal 2001 if it exercises its option to purchase
the stock or assets of the Operator/Lessees for all projects developed under
this structure through and including the fiscal 1999 development projects.
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company sold certain assets and assigned the
leasehold interests of ten of its operating subsidiaries to Operator/Lessees for
an aggregate price of approximately $2,645,000, net of transaction costs.
In order to achieve its growth plans, the Company will be required to obtain
substantial additional financing. The Company is currently exploring financing
alternatives. The Company anticipates that it will use a combination of the net
proceeds from the Offering, existing lease financing commitments and other
arrangements with health care real estate investment trusts ("REITs"), joint
venture leasing arrangements with third parties, a working capital line of
credit, future equity and debt financing and cash generated from operations to
fund its development and acquisition activities. The estimated costs over the
next three years of the Company's planned development and expansion are
significantly in excess of the Company's existing financing arrangements. There
can be no assurance that any additional financing needed to fund the Company's
growth plans will be available. These development plans could be curtailed or
halted if the Company is not successful in securing financing beyond its current
resources.
The Company leases most of its facilities under long-term operating leases.
Lease obligations for the next 12 months are approximately $9,800,000. The
Company's financing documents contain financial covenants and other restrictions
which: (i) require the Company to meet certain financial tests and maintain
certain escrows of funds, (ii) limit, among other things, the ability of the
Company and certain of its subsidiaries to borrow additional funds, dispose of
assets and engage in mergers or other business combinations, (iii) prohibit the
Company from operating competing facilities within a ten mile radius of the
leased facilities. Management believes the Company is in compliance with these
financial covenants.
The Company's lease arrangements are generally for initial terms of 10 to 15
years with aggregate renewal option periods ranging from 15 to 25 years and
provide for contractually fixed rent plus additional rent, subject to certain
limits. The additional rent is capped at 2% or 3% of the prior year's total rent
and is based on either the annual increase in revenues of the facility or the
increase in the consumer price index. The Company's lease arrangements generally
contain a purchase option at the end of the initial lease term and each renewal
term to purchase the facility at its fair market value.
Management believes that its current data systems are adequate for current
operations and provide the flexibility to accommodate the planned growth of its
operations without disruption or significant modification to existing systems
through fiscal 1999. The Company plans to begin upgrading the existing financial
system during fiscal 1999 to accommodate future growth. While cost estimates
have not been finalized, the system upgrade will involve expansion of the
Company's systems staff and a substantial financial commitment.
The Company uses high quality hardware and operating systems from current and
proven technologies to ensure reliability and optimum system performance. In an
effort to evaluate these systems for year 2000 issues, the Company has formed an
oversight committee. This committee has performed an inventory and risk
assessment of the Company's internal operating systems, as well as an inventory
of third party relationships and their impact on the Company. Based upon the
committee's review, the Company has determined that third party relationships
provide the highest risk related to year 2000 issues. The third party
relationships deemed most critical are the Company's banking relationships and
its relationships with third party intermediaries for skilled nursing facility
reimbursement. The Company is in the process of developing contingency plans to
address these critical relationships.
The oversight committee will also oversee the testing of any internal
information technology systems which do not contain embedded software. The
testing of these systems and the timeframe for completion are in the planning
stages. For those non-critical systems which cannot be readily tested, the
Company will inquire of third party vendors as to the status of year 2000
compliance within these systems.
Based upon the Company's progress to date in addressing year 2000 issues,
management does not expect these issues to have a material impact on financial
position, results of operations or cash flows in future periods, including the
cost of remediation.

BALANCED CARE CORPORATION 1998 ANNUAL REPORT
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS continued
OPERATING ACTIVITIES
Cash used for operations increased by $5,477,000 to $6,092,000 for the year
ended June 30, 1998 from $615,000 for the year ended June 30, 1997. The increase
was the net result of increased receivables, partially offset by increased
profitability and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
INVESTING ACTIVITIES
Cash used for investing activities increased by $20,396,000 to $27,595,000 for
the year ended June 30, 1998 from $7,199,000 for the year ended June 30, 1997.
The increase was primarily the result of acquisitions partially offset by the
proceeds from sales of assets.
FINANCING ACTIVITIES
Cash provided by financing activities increased by $26,105,000 to $41,260,000
for the year ended June 30, 1998 from $15,155,000 for the year ended June 30,
1997. The increase was primarily the result of the Offering.
FISCAL 1998 COMPLETED ACQUISITIONS
In October 1997, the Company purchased the assets and business of Feltrop's
Personal Care Home, a 92-bed assisted living facility, for approximately
$5,875,000 including transaction costs. This acquisition has been accounted for
using the purchase method of accounting, and the related goodwill of
approximately $1,600,000 is being amortized over 40 years.
In October 1997, the Company purchased the assets and business of Butler Senior
Care which consists of three assisted living facilities with a capacity of 172
residents. The purchase price was approximately $10,369,000, including
transaction costs. This acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting, and the related goodwill of approximately $4,050,000 is
being amortized over 40 years. The asset purchase agreement provides for
additional purchase price payments of up to $4,100,000 contingent upon achieving
certain future targeted operating results. Through June 30, 1998 contingent
purchase price payments of approximately $766,000 have been earned and recorded.
The Triangle Retirement Services, Inc. d/b/a Northridge Retirement Center
acquisition, which occurred on December 1, 1997, involved the purchase of the
assets and business of a 117-bed assisted living facility. The purchase price
was approximately $8,600,000, including transaction costs. This acquisition has
been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and the related
goodwill of approximately $3,350,000 is being amortized over 40 years.
The Gethsemane Affiliates acquisition, which occurred on January 2, 1998,
involved the purchase of the assets of a 66-bed skilled nursing facility and a
51-bed assisted living facility which were accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting. The purchase price was approximately $6,800,000 including
transaction costs. Goodwill of approximately $1,825,000 was recorded for this
acquisition and is being amortized over 40 years.
The acquisitions that took place from October 1997 through January 1998 were
financed with bridge financing from a REIT that was repaid with proceeds of the
Offering.
On June 29, 1998 the Company acquired the leasehold interest of Potomac Point, a
54-bed assisted living facility. The facility was acquired by a REIT. The
Company has entered into a 9 year lease with three 5 year renewal options to
lease the real estate from the REIT. Goodwill of approximately $41,000 was
recorded for this acquisition which is being amortized over 24 years.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) ORGANIZATION AND BACKGROUND
Balanced Care Corporation ("BCC" or the "Company") was incorporated in April
1995 and is engaged in the acquisition, development and operation of assisted
living facilities and of other operations which facilitate implementation of the
Company's balanced care continuum strategy, such as medical rehabilitation, home
health care and skilled nursing. As of June 30, 1998, the Company owned, leased
or managed 41 assisted and independent living communities and 13 skilled nursing
facilities and had 35 assisted living communities under development contracts
(see Note 3). The Company also operates a home health agency and rehabilitation
agencies. The Company's operations are located in Pennsylvania, Missouri,
Arkansas, Virginia, Ohio, North Carolina and Wisconsin.
On February 18, 1998, the Company closed its initial public offering for
7,000,000 shares of its common stock, par value $.001 per share ("Common Stock")
at a price of $6.50 per share (the "Offering"). Concurrent with the Offering,
5,009,750 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and 1,150,958 shares of Series A
Preferred Stock were converted into 4,620,532 shares of Common Stock (reflective
of the three-for-four reverse split of Common Stock effective October 14, 1997).
In connection with the Offering, the Company granted the underwriters an option
to purchase 1,050,000 additional shares of Common Stock at $6.50 per share. The
closing for this option was on March 17, 1998. After the consummation of the
Offering, the conversion of the preferred stock and the exercise of the
underwriters' option, the Company had 16,695,343 shares of Common Stock
outstanding. The Company's stock is traded on the American Stock Exchange under
the symbol BAL.
(b) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries from their respective acquisition
dates. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
(c) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid instruments with original maturities
of three months or less. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents at
financial institutions which management believes are of high credit quality.
(d) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Cash and cash equivalents, receivables, restricted investments and mortgage
notes payable are reflected in the accompanying balance sheet at amounts
considered by management to approximate fair value. Management generally
estimates fair value of its long-term fixed rate notes payable using discounted
cash flow analysis based upon the current borrowing rate for debt with similar
maturities.
(e) RESTRICTED INVESTMENTS
Restricted investments consist of certificates of deposit that have been pledged
as collateral for certain of the Company's lease commitments. The amounts are
equivalent to three to six months' lease payments and are generally restricted
through the initial lease term.
(f) PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation or,
where appropriate, the present value of the related capital lease obligations
less accumulated amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging
from 2-40 years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs necessary to maintain
property and equipment in efficient operating condition are charged to
operations. Costs of additions and betterments are capitalized.
(g) GOODWILL
Goodwill resulting from business acquisitions accounted for as purchases is
being amortized on a straight-line basis over lives ranging from 15 to 40 years.
Goodwill is reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances provide
evidence which suggests that the carrying amount of goodwill may not be
recoverable. The Company evaluates the recoverability of goodwill by determining
whether the amortization of the goodwill balance can be recovered through
projected undiscounted cash flows. At June 30, 1998 and 1997, accumulated
amortization of goodwill was $334,000 and $123,000, respectively.
(h) IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF
The Company reviews its long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible
assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the
carrying amount of an asset to undiscounted future net cash flow expected to be
generated by the asset. This comparison is performed on a facility by facility
basis. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be
recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets
exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at
the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
(i) DEFERRED COSTS
Financing and leasing costs have been deferred and are being amortized on a
straight-line basis over the term of the related debt or lease. Accumulated
amortization of deferred financing and leasing costs was $84,000 and $43,000 at
June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
(j) REVENUE RECOGNITION
Patient service revenues are recorded based on standard charges applicable to
all patients, and include charges for room and board, rehabilitation therapies,
pharmacy, medical supplies, sub-acute care and other programs provided to
patients in skilled nursing facilities. Patient service revenues are adjusted
for differences between such standard rates and
BALANCED CARE CORPORATION PAGE 23
<PAGE> 13
BALANCED CARE CORPORATION 1998 ANNUAL REPORT
estimated amounts reimbursable by third-party payors when applicable. Estimated
settlements under third-party payor retrospective rate setting programs
(primarily Medicare) are accrued in the period the related services are
rendered. Settlements receivable and related revenues under such programs are
based on annual cost reports prepared in accordance with Federal and state
regulations, which reports are subject to audit and retroactive adjustment in
future periods. In the opinion of management, adequate provision has been made
for such adjustments and final settlements will not have a material effect on
financial position or results of operations.
Resident service revenues are recognized when services are rendered and consist
of resident fees and other ancillary services provided to residents of the
Company's assisted living facilities.
(k) DEVELOPMENT FEE INCOME RECOGNITION
AND RELATED COSTS
Development fees are received from facility owners under fixed-price development
contracts, which are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method measured
by the cost-to-cost method. Such contracts are for managing, supervising and
coordinating the activities of other contractors on behalf of the owners of the
assisted living facilities, and revenue is recognized only to the extent of the
fee revenue. On projects where BCC is the lessee, development fees in excess of
related development costs are recorded as deferred revenues and recognized over
the lease term (see note 3).
Contract costs include direct development salaries, wages and benefits and
related direct costs of development activities, including such costs incurred
prior to execution of the development agreement (precontract costs). Precontract
costs are recorded as development in process until the contract is executed,
whereupon such costs are charged to operations and related development fee
revenues are recognized as described above. Precontract costs are reviewed by
management to assess recoverability based on the progress of each development
project and are charged to operations when a project is abandoned. Changes in
project performance, conditions and estimated profitability may result in
revisions to cost estimates, related revenue recognition and provisions for
estimated losses on uncompleted contracts. Such changes in estimates are
reported in the period in which the revisions are determined.
Reimbursable costs due from facility owners under development contracts in
process represent costs incurred on behalf of the owners of the assisted living
facilities during the construction period, which are reimbursed on
a monthly basis. Accounts payable include $4,285,000 at June 30, 1998 and
$1,647,000 at June 30, 1997 related to such costs.
(l) INCOME TAXES
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income
taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for
the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases.
(m) STRAIGHT-LINE LEASE LIABILITY
Straight-line lease liabilities represent lease deposit funding received from
REITs relating to lease transactions. The Company pays rent on these funds and
amortizes the related straight-line lease liability over the initial lease term
as a reduction of rent expense.
(n) CLASSIFICATION OF EXPENSES
All expenses associated with development, corporate or support functions are
classified as development, general and administrative.
(o) USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions. These assumptions 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 these estimates.
(p) PRO FORMA EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE ("EPS")
Pro forma earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average
number of common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding (using the
treasury stock method) assuming the pro forma conversion of preferred shares
into common. For the years ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, common equivalent
shares from stock options and warrants are excluded from the computation as
their effect is antidilutive. In the computation of earnings (loss) per share,
accretion of the redemption value attributable to redeemable preferred stock is
not included as an increase to net loss.
A reconciliation of the weighted average shares used in the computation of pro
forma earnings per share follows (in thousands):

(2) Purchase of the operations of Keystone included the rights to seven early
stage development projects. Additional cash payments of $500,000 were paid in
fiscal 1998 when the first five projects were financed and recorded as
additional goodwill.
(3) The agreement to purchase the assets of Butler Senior Care provided for
additional payments in 1998 if an addition (opened in January 1998) attains
occupancy of 90% occupied based upon a multiple of net operating income. A final
payment, also based upon a multiple of Butler's annualized net operating income
for the six months ending December 31, 1998, may be due in January 1999. If
payable, these payments, estimated at a maximum of $3,334,000, will be recorded
as additional goodwill.
All acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method. The acquisitions
that took place from October 1997 through January 1998 were financed with
$29,675,000 in bridge financing from a REIT that was repaid with proceeds of the
offering.
The following unaudited summary, prepared on a pro forma basis, combines the
results of operations of the acquired businesses with those of the Company as if

BALANCED CARE CORPORATION 1998 ANNUAL REPORT
3. DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES
The Company is a developer of assisted living facilities
and receives development fees for services provided to the owners, which are
typically real estate investment trusts (REITs). In certain cases, the Company
leases the facilities from the REIT owner/lessor and is the operator/lessee of
the facilities. In other cases, newly formed special purpose entities (which are
owned by independent third parties) are the operator/lessees, and the Company
manages the facilities pursuant to management agreements. Management agreements
provide for terms ranging from 2 to 9 years, with fees approximating 6% of net
revenues of the facility. These fees are subordinate to any rent payments made
by the operator/lessee to the facility owner. Management fees for the year ended
June 30, 1998 include reimbursements in the amount of $1,793,000 from the
operator/lessees for employee salaries and benefits. The Company has the option
(but not the obligation) to purchase the stock or assets of the operator/ lessee
pursuant to a related option agreement (see note 14).
The Company incurs substantial development costs prior to executing the
development agreement (precontract costs). Such costs relate to market analysis
and evaluation, site selection and land control, obtaining architectural and
engineering reports, preparing development plans and obtaining zoning and other
governmental approvals and permits relating to the building, sewer, water,
roads, utilities, etc. Development contracts in process at June 30, 1998 and
1997 are summarized as follows:

===================================================================
</TABLE>
With respect to 11 facilities which have been developed and then leased by the
Company, development fees of $973,000 were deferred and amortized over the
initial term of the lease as a reduction of rent expense. In January 1998, the
Company sold certain assets and its leasehold rights related to these 11
facilities to newly formed special purpose entities for $2,645,000 and entered
into management agreements with such entities. The Company has options to
reacquire the leasehold interests in those facilities. The gain on such sale of
$922,000 has also been deferred and is being amortized to operations over five
years, the term of the management agreement. At June 30, 1998, the remaining
unamortized development fees and gains with respect to these facilities were
$1,702,000.
The Company has entered into non-binding letters of intent aggregating $465
million with six health care REITs and one other financial institution
(combined, the "Owners"). These letters of intent represent arrangements whereby
the Owners will acquire existing facilities identified by the Company and lease
them to special purpose entities or the Company. Initial lease rates under these
arrangements are expected to range from 3.2% to 3.4% over the 10-year Treasury
rate. Specific development projects and acquisitions require approval of the
Owners prior to the financing of a transaction. At June 30, 1998, approximately
$235 million of the $465 million had not been utilized and remained available to
fund project development.
The estimated total costs of the development contracts in process at June 30,
1998, primarily representing costs reimbursable from facility owners, were
$170,000,000, of which $45,000,000 had been incurred through that date. Also,
the Company had commitments of approximately $1,000,000 on projects in the
pre-contract stage of development at June 30,1998.
4. RECEIVABLES

5. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE/DIVESTITURES
In June 1997, management determined that the Wisconsin market does not provide
adequate opportunity to achieve the operational efficiencies necessary to
operate profitably. As a result, the Company committed to a plan for the
disposal of its Wisconsin assisted living facilities and recorded a non-cash
charge of $1,591,000 to write those assets down to their estimated fair value.
In July 1998, the Company entered into a letter of intent to sell the Wisconsin
assisted living facilities to a midwestern-based company for $2,900,000, the
closing of which is subject to the negotiation of a definitive asset purchase
agreement. These facilities, have a carrying value of $2,800,000, at June 30,
1998. The transaction is expected to close by October 31, 1998. Facility
operating losses of $699,000 and $381,000 are included with operations for the
years ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
In October 1997, the Company completed the sale of its pharmacy operations for
net proceeds of approximately $4,700,000. The pharmacy was classified as an
asset held for sale at June 30, 1997. The sale resulted in a gain of $2,858,000.

In June 1998 the Company used proceeds remaining from the Offering to repay a
$5,019,000 mortgage on the Wisconsin facilities. The remaining mortgage payable
was incurred for the acquisition of two Missouri nursing homes. Commencing in
the second year of the loan and thereafter, the Company will pay additional
interest of up to 2.0% of the total principal and interest payments in the prior
year based contingently on 20% of the increase in revenues of the facilities
over the prior year. The mortgage note is collateralized by the facilities'
property and equipment. In fiscal 1997 the Company issued a warrant to purchase
approximately 460,000 shares of common stock exercisable at $.001 per share in
connection with this financing. The value of the warrant of approximately
$613,676 ($1.33 per share) has been recorded as deferred financing cost and a
corresponding non-cash increase in additional paid-in capital. The interest cost
and discount are being recognized as interest expense over the life of the
mortgage using the effective interest method.
At June 30, 1998, the aggregate maturities of long-term debt for the next five
fiscal years ending June 30 are as follows (dollars in thousands):

The Company has net operating loss carryforwards at June 30, 1998 available to
offset future federal and state taxable income, if any, of approximately
$2,600,000 expiring through 2012 for federal tax purposes and $6,600,000
expiring through 2007 for state income tax purposes. The net operating losses
are subject to limits on their future utilization under federal and state tax
laws. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that
some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The change
in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets was an increase of $2,092,000
at June 30, 1997 and a decrease of $2,092,000 at June 30, 1998.
11. RETIREMENT PLAN
On January 1, 1998 the Company formed a 401(k) savings plan which covers
substantially all employees with one year and more than 1,000 hours of service.
The plan allows employees to make tax deferred contributions to the plan. The
Company makes matching contributions based on the amount of employee
contributions; but in an amount that does not exceed 2% of wages. Matching
contributions totaled approximately $64,000 for the year ended June 30, 1998.
12. STOCK OPTIONS
The 1996 Stock Option Plan combines the features of an incentive and
non-qualified stock option plan, a stock appreciation rights ("SAR") plan and a
stock award plan (including restricted stock). The 1996 Plan is a long-term
incentive compensation plan and is designed to provide a competitive and
balanced incentive and reward program for participants.
The Company has authorized 2,025,000 shares of common stock to be reserved for
grants under the 1996 Plan. Options generally vest over a four-year period in
cumulative increments of 25% each year beginning one year after the date of the
grant and expire not later than five years from the date of grant. The options
are granted at an exercise price at least equal to the fair market value of the
common stock on the date of the grant.
At June 30, 1998, the range of exercise prices, weighted-average remaining
contractual life of outstanding options and shares exercisable were as follows:

The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting
for its 1996 Plan and, accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for
its stock options in the financial statements. Had the Company determined
compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant date for its stock
options as allowed under SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation,
the Company's net income (loss) and per share amounts would have changed to the
pro forma amounts indicated below.

The fair value of the employee options for purposes of the above pro forma
disclosure was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes Multiple
Pricing Model. Assumptions used for options issued during the year ended June
30, 1998, and all prior options were as follows:
<TABLE>

Expected life 1 YEAR AFTER VEST 1 year after vest
Expected volatility .42 .30
Expected dividends -- --
=====================================================================
</TABLE>
These assumptions produced weighted average fair values per option of a range of
$0.85 to $3.97 for options issued in fiscal 1998 and $0.41 for options issued in
fiscal 1997 and 1996. All options issued during these periods were granted at an
exercise price at, or in excess of, the fair market value on the grant date.

</TABLE>
The operating lease agreements require the payment of additional rent commencing
in the second lease year of up to 2% of prior year rent based contingently upon
increases in facility gross revenues. In addition, most of the facility leases
have renewal options for periods ranging from 5 years to 24 years after the
initial lease period. Contingent lease payments made during the year ended June
30, 1998 were $104,000; none in prior years.
MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS
As discussed in note 3, the Company manages certain assisted living facilities
owned by REITs and leased to special purpose entities owned by independent third
parties (the "operator/lessees"). The Company has the option (but not the
obligation) to purchase the stock or assets of the operator/lessee pursuant to
an option agreement at an exercise price based on formulas set forth in the
agreements. Certain option agreements require the Company to make periodic
payments to maintain its option. At June 30, 1998 the Company had made option
payments of $322,000 to three operator/lessees, which expire by March 31, 1999.
Pursuant to shortfall funding agreements, the Company has agreed to make loans
to the operator/lessees if the equity and working capital loans of the
operator/lessee are depleted by negative cash flows from start up operations of
the facilties. There were no loans outstanding at June 30, 1998.
LITIGATION
The Company is a party to various claims, legal actions and complaints arising
in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, all such
matters are without merit or are of such a kind, or involve such amounts, that
their unfavorable disposition would not have a material effect on the financial
position, results of operations or the liquidity of the Company.
15. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
SFAS NO. 131
In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,"
(SFAS No. 131). SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for public business
enterprises to report information about operating segments in annual financial
statements and requires those enterprises to report selected information about
operating segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. It also
establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services,
geographic areas and major customers.
SFAS NO. 131 is effective for the Company's financial statements in fiscal 1999.
In the initial year of application, comparative information for earlier years is
to be restated, unless it is impracticable to do so. The Company is currently
assessing the effect of the pronouncement.
SOP 98-5
In April 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued
Statement of Position 98-5, "Reporting the Costs of Start-Up Activities" (SOP
98-5). SOP 98-5 provides guidance as to the definition of costs of start-up
activities, including organization costs, and provides that these costs should
be expensed as incurred.
SOP 98-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998;
however, earlier application is encouraged for financial statements which have
not been issued. The Company wrote off all costs of start-up activities in
fiscal 1998 of approximately $250,000.
