                         SENIOR HOUSING PROPERTIES TRUST

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1.  Organization

Senior  Housing  Properties  Trust  ("Senior  Housing"),  a Maryland real estate
investment  trust, was organized on December 16, 1998 as a 100% owned subsidiary
of HRPT Properties Trust ("HRPT").

At  March  31,  2000,  Senior  Housing  owned  75  properties  and 12  mortgages
receivable in 26 states and operates in a single segment.

On October 12, 1999, HRPT  distributed  49.3% of its ownership in Senior Housing
to HRPT shareholders (the "Spin-Off").  Prior to the Spin-Off the properties and
mortgages  were  owned by HRPT.  These  consolidated  financial  statements  are
presented  as if Senior  Housing was a separate  legal entity from HRPT prior to
the Spin-Off, although no such entity existed until October 12, 1999.

Note 2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

BASIS OF  PRESENTATION.  Prior to the Spin-Off,  Senior  Housing,  including its
properties and mortgages,  were owned by HRPT, and transactions in those periods
have  been  presented  on  HRPT's  historical  basis.   Prior  to  the  Spin-Off
substantially  all the rental income and mortgage  interest  income  received by
HRPT from the tenants and  mortgagors  of Senior  Housing was  deposited  in and
commingled  with HRPT's general funds.  Funds for capital  investments and other
cash  required by Senior  Housing were  provided by HRPT.  Prior to September 1,
1999, interest expense was allocated based on HRPT's historical interest expense
as a percentage of HRPT's average  historical costs of real estate  investments.
General and  administrative  costs of HRPT for the periods prior to the Spin-Off
were allocated to Senior Housing based on HRPT's investment  advisory  agreement
formula and other costs were allocated based on historical costs as a percentage
of HRPT's average historical costs of real estate investments. In the opinion of
management,  the methods for allocating  interest and general and administrative
expenses were  reasonable.  It was not practicable to estimate  additional costs
that would have been incurred by Senior Housing as a separate entity.

In December 1999 the Securities and Exchange  Commission issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 101,  "Accounting for Contingent Rent in Interim Financial Periods"
("SAB 101").  Senior Housing has adopted the provisions of SAB 101 prospectively
as of January 1, 2000. If Senior Housing had elected the adoption  retroactively
to January 1, 1999,  for the three months ended March 31, 1999, net income would
have been  $10.0  million  ($0.38/share).  SAB 101 will have no impact on Senior
Housing's annual results of operations,  rather the accounting  changes required
by SAB 101 are expected to, in general,  defer recognition of certain percentage
rental income from the first,  second and third  quarters to the fourth  quarter
within a fiscal year.

EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE.  Because Senior Housing's operations were included in
the consolidated financial statements of HRPT prior to the Spin-Off,  there were
no shareholder  equity accounts for Senior Housing prior to 1999.  Common shares
outstanding  of 26.0  million at October  12,  1999,  have been  included in the
earnings per share calculation as if the shares were outstanding for all periods
prior to October 12, 1999.  Earnings  per common  share are  computed  using the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.  Senior Housing
has no common share equivalents,  instruments  convertible into common shares or
other dilutive instruments.

Note 3.  Interim Financial Statements

The financial statements of Senior Housing have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting  principles for interim financial  information and
with  the   instructions  to  Form  10-Q  and  Rule  10-01  of  Regulation  S-X.
Accordingly,  they do not include all of the information and footnotes  required
by generally accepted  accounting  principles for complete financial  statements
and  should  be read in  conjunction  with the  audited  consolidated  financial
statements for the year ended  December 31, 1999,  included in the Annual Report
on Form 10-K.  In the opinion of  management,  all  adjustments  (consisting  of
normal recurring  accruals)  considered  necessary for a fair  presentation have
been  included.  Operating  results  for  interim  periods  are not  necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 4.  Real Estate Properties

In February 2000 Senior Housing sold all of the  properties  that were leased to
The Frontier  Group,  Inc.  ("Frontier")  for $13.0  million.  Senior Housing is
pursuing claims against  Frontier and other parties for breach of its leases and
for rental  arrearages.  The amount of net gain,  if any,  which may be realized
from the sale of the Frontier  properties  will depend upon the outcome of these
claims.  The  amount  of  gain  or  loss  to be  realized  as a  result  of this
transaction  is not expected to be material.  The net proceeds of $12.2  million
were used to repay,  in part, a portion of the  outstanding  balance on the bank
credit facility.

Note 5.  Report of Tenants' Financial Condition

Two of Senior Housing tenants,  Mariner Post-Acute Network, Inc. ("Mariner") and
Integrated Health Services, Inc. ("IHS") have filed for protection under Chapter
11 of the U.S.  Bankruptcy Code.  Mariner filed in January 2000 and IHS filed in
February 2000.

         In March 2000 Senior  Housing  reached an agreement  in principle  with
Mariner as follows:

     o    Mariner's lease obligations for all 26 properties will be terminated.
     o    Approximately  $24.0  million  of cash  and  securities  which  secure
          Mariner's obligations will be retained by Senior Housing.
     o    Senior Housing will assume operation  responsibilities for 17 of these
          26 properties.  Title to five of these  properties will be transferred
          to Mariner which will  continue the  operations.  The  remaining  four
          nursing  homes are now  subleased to two private  companies and Senior
          Housing  expects  to  negotiate  with these two  subtenants  for their
          continued operation of those properties.
     o    Mariner will  continue to pay its  contractual  obligations  to Senior
          Housing until the agreement is consummated.

The agreement  with Mariner has been approved by Mariner's  creditors  committee
and the Delaware Bankruptcy Court, before which this bankruptcy is pending. This
agreement still requires regulatory approvals from various states where affected
properties are located.  If this agreement is approved,  Senior Housing  expects
its future earnings and cash flows may be less than the rent  previously  earned
from the  Mariner  lease,  at  least on a short  term  basis.  If and when  this
agreement is implemented additional gains or losses may result.

         In April 2000 Senior Housing reached an agreement in principle with IHS
as follows:

     o    The lease for one  property  will be amended to provide a new ten year
          term at $1.2 million per year, effective January 1, 2000.
     o    Senior Housing's  mortgage  investment secured by one property will be
          cancelled and IHS will continue to own and operate the property.
     o    IHS's  lease  and  mortgage  obligations  for 37  properties  will  be
          terminated.
     o    IHS will pay Senior  Housing  $500,000 per month for use and occupancy
          of  Senior  Housing's  properties  from the  date of IHS's  bankruptcy
          filing until this transaction is closed.
     o    IHS will convey nine  properties to Senior Housing which are currently
          owned and  operated by IHS.
     o    Senior Housing will assume operating responsibility for 41 properties.

In addition,  Horizon/CMS Corporation,  a subsidiary of HEALTHSOUTH Corporation,
(together  "HEALTHSOUTH")  is a  guarantor  of the  lease  obligations  for four
properties  owned by Senior  Housing  and  leased  to IHS.  Senior  Housing  and
HEALTHSOUTH have reached an  understanding,  conditional upon  implementation of
the agreement  between Senior Housing and IHS,  whereby  HEALTHSOUTH will assume
operating  responsibility  for these four  properties  and lease and operate one
property  that will be conveyed  to Senior  Housing by IHS.  Annual  rents under
these five leases total approximately $10.0 million.

<PAGE>

                         SENIOR HOUSING PROPERTIES TRUST

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The agreement with IHS is contingent upon approval by IHS's creditors committees
and the Delaware  Bankruptcy  Court before which this  bankruptcy is pending and
requires regulatory  approvals from various states where affected properties are
located.  If this  agreement  is  approved,  Senior  Housing  expects its future
earnings and cash flows may be less than the rent previously earned from the IHS
leases,  at  least  on a  short  term  basis.  If and  when  this  agreement  is
implemented additional gains or losses may result.

Note 6.  Transactions with Affiliates

Senior  Housing  entered  into  an  investment   advisory  agreement  with  REIT
Management  &  Research,   Inc.  ("REIT   Management")  to  provide  investment,
management and  administrative  services.  REIT Management is owned by Gerard M.
Martin and Barry M. Portnoy, who serve as managing trustees of Senior Housing.

Note 7.  Indebtedness

Senior Housing has a $350.0  million,  three-year,  interest  only,  bank credit
facility. The bank credit facility is secured by 18 properties,  with a net book
value of $377.7  million at March 31,  2000,  and matures in 2002.  The interest
rate is LIBOR plus a premium (7.96% at March 31, 2000). The bank credit facility
is  available  for  acquisitions,  working  capital  and  for  general  business
purposes.  As of March 31,  2000,  $188.0  million  was  outstanding  and $162.0
million was available under the credit facility.

Note 8.  Shareholders' Equity

Senior Housing has reserved  1,300,000  shares of Senior Housing's common shares
under the terms of the 1999  Incentive  Share  Award  Plan (the  "Award  Plan").
During 1999 the three  Independent  Trustees,  as part of their annual fee, were
each  granted  500  common  shares  from this plan.  The  shares  granted to the
Trustees  vest  immediately.  At March 31, 2000,  1,298,500 of Senior  Housing's
common shares remain reserved for issuance under the Award Plan.

In February 2000 Senior Housing paid a distribution of $0.60 per share, or $15.6
million.  In April 2000  Senior  Housing  declared a  distribution  of $0.30 per
share,  or $7.8 million,  which will be distributed to  shareholders on or about
May 25, 2000.

Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

The  following  discussion  presents an analysis of the results of operations of
the  properties and mortgages we owned for the three months ended March 31, 2000
and 1999. This discussion  includes  references to funds from operations.  Funds
from  operations,  or  "FFO",  as  defined  in the  white  paper on  funds  from
operations  which was approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT in March 1995
and as clarified  from time to time, is net income  computed in accordance  with
GAAP, before  extraordinary  items, plus depreciation and amortization and after
adjustment for unconsolidated  partnerships and joint ventures.  We consider FFO
to be an appropriate  measure of performance for an equity REIT, along with cash
flow from operating  activities,  financing activities and investing activities,
because it provides  investors with an indication of an equity REIT's ability to
incur and service debt, make capital  expenditures,  pay  distributions and fund
other cash needs. We compute FFO in accordance with the standards established by
NAREIT adjusted for the impact of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Accounting
for Contingent Rent in Interim Financial Periods",  issued by the Securities and
Exchange  Commission  in December  1999,  and non cash  items,  which may not be
comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that define the term differently.  FFO
does not represent  cash  generated by operating  activities in accordance  with
GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, determined in
accordance with GAAP, as an indication of financial performance or the cash flow
from operating  activities,  determined in accordance with GAAP, or as a measure
of liquidity.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 Compared to March 31, 1999

For the three months  ended March 31,  2000,  compared to the three months ended
March 31,  1999,  total  revenues  decreased  by $4.1  million,  total  expenses
decreased  by  $660,000  and net  income  decreased  by $3.4  million.  Revenues
decreased because no rent was received after the sale date from three properties
formerly owned by Senior  Housing which have been sold and because  reduced rent
and interest was accrued from the properties pursuant to the work out agreements
described below.  Total expenses decreased due to a decrease in interest expense
of  $501,000  and  depreciation  expense of  $432,000,  offset by an increase in
general  and  administrative  expenses  of  $273,000.  The  decrease in interest
expense is primarily due to lower interest expense actually incurred during 2000
as  compared  to HRPT's  allocated  interest  expense in 1999.  The  decrease in
depreciation  expense is primarily  due to the write down for the  impairment of
assets at December 31, 1999, and the sale of three  properties in February 2000.
General and  administrative  expenses increased in 2000 over 1999 because Senior
Housing's expenses were higher than the allocable portion of HRPT's expenses and
because of costs  arising  from the work out  agreements  described  below.  Net
income was $7.6  million and $11.0  million for the three months ended March 31,
2000 and 1999, respectively.

Two of our tenants,  Mariner Post-Acute Network, Inc. ("Mariner") and Integrated
Health Services,  Inc. ("IHS") have filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the
U.S.  Bankruptcy  Code.  Mariner filed in January 2000 and IHS filed in February
2000.

         In March 2000 we reached an  agreement  in  principle  with  Mariner as
follows:

     o    Mariner's lease obligations for all 26 properties will be terminated.
     o    Approximately  $24.0  million  of cash  and  securities  which  secure
          Mariner's obligations will be retained by us.
     o    We  will  assume  operation   responsibilities  for  17  of  these  26
          properties.  Title to five of these  properties will be transferred to
          Mariner which will continue the operations. The remaining four nursing
          homes are now  subleased  to two  private  companies  and we expect to
          negotiate with these two subtenants for their continued  operations of
          these properties.
     o    Mariner will continue to pay its historical contractual obligations to
          us until this agreement is consummated.

The agreement  with Mariner has been approved by Mariner's  creditors  committee
and the Delaware Bankruptcy Court, before which this bankruptcy is pending. This
agreement still requires regulatory approvals from various states where affected
properties  are  located.  If this  agreement  is  approved we expect our future
earnings  and cash flows may be less than the rent  previously  earned  from the
Mariner  lease,  at least on a short term basis.  If and when this  agreement is
implemented additional material gains or losses may result.

Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations - continued

         In April 2000 we reached an agreement in principle with IHS as follows:

     o    The lease for one  property  will be amended to provide a new ten year
          term at $1.2 million per year, effective January 1, 2000.
     o    Our mortgage  investment secured by one property will be cancelled and
          IHS will continue to own and operate and mortgage the property.
     o    IHS's  lease  and  mortgage  obligations  for 37  properties  will  be
          terminated.
     o    IHS will pay us  $500,000  per month for use and  occupancy  of Senior
          Housing's  properties from the date of IHS's  bankruptcy  filing until
          this transaction is closed.
     o    IHS will convey  nine  properties  to us.
     o    We will assume operating responsibility for 41 properties.

In addition,  Horizon/CMS Corporation,  a subsidiary of HEALTHSOUTH Corporation,
(together  "HEALTHSOUTH")  is a  guarantor  of the  lease  obligations  for four
properties  leased to IHS. We have  reached an  understanding  with  HEALTHSOUTH
whereby  HEALTHSOUTH  will  assume  operating   responsibility  for  these  four
properties  and one  property  that will be conveyed to us by IHS.  Annual rents
under these five leases total approximately $10.0 million.

The agreement with IHS is contingent upon approval by IHS's creditors committees
and the Delaware  Bankruptcy  Court before which this  bankruptcy is pending and
requires regulatory  approvals from various states where affected properties are
located.  If this  agreement is approved we expect our future  earnings and cash
flows may be less than the rent previously  earned from the IHS leases, at least
on a short term basis.  If and when this  agreement  is  implemented  additional
material gains or losses may result.

FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2000, was $13.3  million,  or $0.51 per
share,  compared  to $16.6  million,  or $0.64 per share for the same  period in
1999. The decrease of $3.3 million is due to the factors  discussed above.  Cash
flow provided by operating  activities and cash available for  distribution  may
not  necessarily  equal funds from  operations as cash flow is affected by other
factors not included in the funds from operations  calculation,  such as changes
in assets and liabilities.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At March 31, 2000, we had cash and cash  equivalents of $12.9  million.  For the
three  months  ended March 31, 2000 and 1999,  cash flows  provided by operating
activities  were  $11.2  million  and $17.8  million,  respectively;  cash flows
provided by investing  activities were $12.2 million and $93,000,  respectively;
and cash used for  financing  activities  was $27.6  million and $17.9  million,
respectively.  We expect that our current cash,  cash  equivalents,  future cash
flows from operating  activities and availability under our bank credit facility
will  be  sufficient  to meet  our  short-term  and  long-term  working  capital
requirements,  including our  distribution of $7.8 million,  or $0.30 per share,
for the quarter ending on March 31, 2000,  which we will pay on or about May 25,
2000.

We have a $350.0  million,  three-year,  interest  only,  bank  credit  facility
secured by first  mortgages on 18 properties.  The interest rate is LIBOR plus a
premium per annum.  The bank  credit  facility is  available  for  acquisitions,
working capital and for general business purposes.  We have the ability to repay
and redraw  amounts under this bank credit  facility until its maturity in 2002.
Our  bank  credit   facility   documentation   has  customary   representations,
warranties, covenants and event of default provisions.

During the first quarter of 2000 we repaid $12.0 million of amounts  outstanding
under  our  bank  credit  facility  with  the  proceeds  from  the sale of three
properties.  Subsequent to March 31, 2000 we repaid an additional $10.0 million.
We currently have $178.0 million  outstanding and $172.0 million available under
this credit facility.

Total assets  decreased by $17.5 million from $654.0  million as of December 31,
1999, to $636.5  million as of March 31, 2000.  The decrease is primarily due to
depreciation on real estate  properties and the sale of the three  properties in
February 2000.

Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations -continued

Year 2000

We experienced no disruptions in our information and non-information  technology
systems and incurred no costs with respect to year 2000 issues. We are not aware
of any material  problems  resulting from year 2000 issues by our systems or the
systems of our tenants or their material vendors and our material  vendors,  but
will continue to monitor these  systems  throughout  the year to ensure that any
late year 2000 issues that may arise are addressed promptly.

Impact of Inflation

Inflation  might have both  positive  and negative  impacts  upon our  business.
Inflation  might cause the value of our real  estate  investments  to  increase.
Similarly, in an inflationary environment, the percentage rents which we receive
based upon CPI  increases or as a percentage  of our  tenants'  revenues  should
increase.  Also,  rent yields we could charge for new  investments  would likely
increase.  Offsetting these benefits,  inflation might cause our costs of equity
and debt capital to increase.  To mitigate the adverse impact of increased costs
of debt capital in the event of material inflation we may purchase interest rate
cap agreements. The decision to enter into these agreements will be based on the
amount of floating rate debt  outstanding and our belief that material  interest
rate  increases  are likely to occur.  We do not believe  inflation  in the U.S.
economy during the next few years will have any material effect on our business.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market changes in interest rates.  Because interest on all our
outstanding  debt is at a  floating  rate,  changes in  interest  rates will not
affect  the value of our  outstanding  debt  instruments.  However,  changes  in
interest rates will affect our operating results. For example, the interest rate
payable on our outstanding indebtedness of $188.0 million at March 31, 2000, was
7.96% per annum.  An immediate  10% change in that  interest  rate or 79.6 basis
points,  would increase or decrease our costs by approximately $1.5 million,  or
$0.06 per share per year:

                       Impact of Changes in Interest Rates
                             (dollars in thousands)

                                                                   Total
                                                                  Interest
                         Interest Rate       Outstanding        Expense Per
                            Per Year            Debt                Year
                         ---------------    --------------     ---------------
At March 31, 2000              7.96%           $188,000            $14,965
10% reduction                  7.16%            188,000             13,461
10% increase                   8.76%            188,000             16,469

The foregoing table presents a so-called  "shock"  analysis,  which assumes that
the interest rate change by 10%, or 79.6 basis points,  is in effect for a whole
year. If interest rates were to change gradually over one year, the impact would
be less.

We borrow in U.S.  dollars  and all of our  current  borrowings  are  subject to
interest at LIBOR plus a premium.  Accordingly,  we are vulnerable to changes in
U.S. dollar based short-term rates, specifically LIBOR.

During the past few months,  short-term  U.S.  dollar based  interest rates have
tended to rise.  We are unable to predict  the  direction  or amount of interest
rate changes  during the next year.  We purchased an interest rate cap agreement
on our current debt to protect against rate increases above 8%. However,  we may
incur  additional  debt at  floating  or fixed  rates in the future  which would
increase our exposure to market changes in interest rates.

We currently own real estate mortgages receivable with a carrying value of $22.9
million.  When comparable term market interest rates decline, the value of these
receivables  increases;  when  comparable  term market  interest rates rise, the
value of these  receivables  declines.  Using discounted cash flow analyses at a
weighted  average  estimated per year market rate for March 31, 2000, of 10.75%,
the estimated fair value of our mortgage receivables was $23.7 million.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk - continued

An  immediate  10% change in the market rate of interest,  or 108 basis  points,
applicable to our mortgage  receivables at March 31, 2000, would affect the fair
value of those receivables as follows:

                                          Carrying Value
                        Interest           of Mortgages         Estimated
                      Rate Per Year         Receivable          Fair Value
                      --------------     -----------------    ---------------
                                      (dollars in thousands)
Estimated market           10.75%            $22,939              $23,722
10% reduction               9.68%             22,939               25,256
10% increase               11.83%             22,939               22,328

If the market rate changes  occurred  gradually  over time,  the effect of these
changes would be realized gradually.  Because our mortgages receivable are fixed
rate  instruments,  changes in market  interest rates will have no effect on our
operating results unless these receivables are sold.

The interest  rate changes that affect the  valuations of our mortgages are U.S.
dollar  long-term  rates for  corporate  obligations  of companies  with ratings
similar to our mortgagors.

previously  disclosed  agreements in principle with Mariner Post-Acute  Network,
Inc.  and its  affiliates  and with  Integrated  Health  Services,  Inc. and its
affiliates.

     (c)  The Company's Board of Trustees has amended and restated the Company's
Bylaws.  The  following  is a summary of certain  provisions  of the Bylaws,  as
amended.  Because it is a summary,  it does not contain  all of the  information
which may be important to a shareholder or other investor. For more information,
the Company refers to the full text of its amended and restated Bylaws which are
being filed as an exhibit to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

o    The  Company  has  elected to be subject  to Section  3-804(b)  and (c) and
     Section  3-805 of Title 3, Subtitle 8 of the Maryland  General  Corporation
     Law. Those sections:

     o    provide that the number of trustees may be fixed only by a vote of the
          Board of Trustees; and

     o    provide that  vacancies on the Board of Trustees may be filled only by
          the  affirmative  vote of a  majority  of the  remaining  trustees  in
          office, even if the remaining trustees do not constitute a quorum.

o    The amended Bylaws  provide that  nomination of persons for election to the
     Board of Trustees at an annual meeting of  shareholders  and business to be
     transacted by the  shareholders at an annual meeting of shareholders may be
     properly  brought  before the meeting  only (1)  pursuant to the  Company's
     notice of meeting, (2) by or at the direction of the Board of Trustees,  or
     (3) by any  shareholder  who is a shareholder of record both at the time of
     giving of the advance notice  described below and at the time of the annual
     meeting,  who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies  with the
     advance notice and other  applicable  terms and provisions set forth in the
     Bylaws.  No business may be transacted at a special meeting of shareholders
     except as specifically designated in the notice of the meeting. Nominations
     of persons for  election  to the Board of Trustees at a special  meeting of

     shareholders  at which  trustees  are to be  elected  may be made  only (1)
     pursuant to the Company's notice of meeting;  (2) by or at the direction of
     the Board of Trustees,  or (3) by any  shareholder  who is a shareholder of
     record both at the time of giving of the advance notice described below and
     at the time of the special meeting,  who is entitled to vote at the meeting
     and who complies  with the advance  notice and other  applicable  terms and
     provisions set forth in the Bylaws.

o    The amended  Bylaws  require a  shareholder  who is nominating a person for
     election  to the  Board of  Trustees  at an  annual  meeting  or  proposing
     business  to be  transacted  at an annual  meeting  to give  notice of such
     nomination  or proposal to the  secretary  of the Company at the  principal
     executive  offices of the  Company  not later than the close of business on
     the 90th day nor earlier  than the close of business on the 120th day prior
     to the first  anniversary  of the date of  mailing  of the  notice  for the
     preceding  year's annual meeting.  If the date of mailing of the notice for
     the  annual  meeting is  advanced  or delayed by more than 30 days from the
     anniversary  date of the date of mailing  of the  notice for the  preceding
     year's annual  meeting,  notice by the  shareholder to be timely must be so
     delivered  not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to
     the date of mailing of the notice  for such  annual  meeting  and not later
     than the close of  business  on the later of: (1) the 90th day prior to the
     date of mailing of the notice for such  annual  meeting or (2) the 10th day
     following  the day on which public  announcement  of the date of mailing of
     the  notice  for such  meeting  is first  made by the  Company.  The public
     announcement of a postponement of the mailing of the notice for such annual
     meeting or of an  adjournment  or  postponement  of an annual  meeting to a
     later date or time will not  commence a new time period for the giving of a
     shareholder's  notice. If the number of Trustees to be elected to the Board
     of Trustees is increased and there is no public announcement by the Company
     of such action or specifying the size of the increased Board of Trustees at
     least one hundred (100) days prior to the first  anniversary of the date of
     mailing of notice for the preceding year's annual meeting,  a shareholder's
     notice also shall be considered  timely,  but only with respect to nominees
     for any new positions created by such increase,  if the notice is delivered
     to the secretary at the  Company's  principal  executive  offices not later
     than the close of business on the 10th day immediately following the day on
     which such public announcement first is made by the Company.

o    The amended  Bylaws  require a  shareholder  who is nominating a person for
     election to the Board of Trustees  at a special  meeting at which  trustees
     are to be elected to give notice of such nomination to the secretary of the
     Company at its  principal  executive  offices not earlier than the close of
     business on the 120th day prior to such special  meeting and not later than
     the  close of  business  on the  later  of (1) the  90th day  prior to such
     special  meeting  or (2) the 10th  day  following  the day on which  public
     announcement  is first made of the date of the  special  meeting and of the
     nominees proposed by the Trustees to be elected at such meeting. The public
     announcement  of a postponement  or  adjournment of a special  meeting to a
     later date or time will not  commence a new time period for the giving of a
     shareholder's notice as described above.

o    The amended Bylaws provide that a shareholder's  notice of a nomination for
     election  to the Board of  Trustees  or of a  proposal  of  business  to be
     transacted at a shareholders meeting must be in writing and must include:

     o    as to each  person  whom the  shareholder  proposes  to  nominate  for
          election or  reelection  as a Trustee,  (1) the  person's  name,  age,
          business  address and residence  address,  (2) the class and number of
          shares of  beneficial  interest of the Company  that are  beneficially
          owned or owned of record by such person and (3) all other  information
          relating  to  such  person  that  is  required  to  be   disclosed  in
          solicitations  of proxies  for  election  of  Trustees  in an election
          contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation
          14A or any successor  provision  under the Securities  Exchange Act of
          1934,  including such person's  written  consent to being named in the
          proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a Trustee if elected;

     o    as to any business that the  shareholder  proposes to bring before the
          meeting,  a description  of the business  desired to be brought before
          the meeting,  the reasons for conducting  such business at the meeting
          and any interest of such  shareholder in such business  (including any
          anticipated  benefit  to  the  shareholder   therefrom)  and  of  each
          beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and

     o    as to the shareholder  giving the notice and each beneficial owner, if
          any, on whose behalf the  nomination or proposal is made, (1) the name
          and address of such shareholder, as they appear on the Company's share
          ledger  and  current  name  and  address,  if  different,  of any such
          beneficial owner and (2) the class and number of shares of the Company
          which are owned beneficially and of record by such shareholder and any
          such beneficial owner.

o    The  amended  Bylaws  provide  that,  at the  same  time as or prior to the
     submission to the Board of Trustees of any shareholder proposal of business
     to be conducted at an annual or special meeting of the  shareholders  that,
     if  approved or  implemented,  would cause the Company to be in breach of a
     covenant  under any existing or proposed debt  instrument or agreement with
     any lender,  the proponent  shareholder must submit to the secretary of the
     Company  at  the  principal  executive  offices  of  the  Company  evidence
     satisfactory to the Board of Trustees of the lender's  willingness to waive
     the  breach  or a plan for  repayment  of  affected  indebtedness  which is
     satisfactory to the Board of Trustees and which specifically identifies the
     source  of  funds  to be  used  in  the  repayment  and  presents  evidence
     satisfactory  to the Board of Trustees that the  identified  funds could be
     applied by the Company to the repayment.

o    The  amended  Bylaws  provide  that,  at the  same  time as or prior to the
     submission to the Board of Trustees of any shareholder proposal of business
     to be conducted at an annual or special meeting of the  shareholders  that,
     if approved,  could not be implemented by the Company without  notifying or
     obtaining  the consent or approval of any  regulatory  body,  the proponent
     shareholder  must submit to the  secretary of the Company at the  principal
     executive  offices of the  Company  evidence  satisfactory  to the Board of
     Trustees that any and all required notices, consents or approvals have been
     given or obtained or a plan,  satisfactory  to the Board of  Trustees,  for
     making the  requisite  notices  or  obtaining  the  requisite  consents  or
     approvals, as applicable, prior to the implementation of the proposal.

o    The amended  Bylaws  provide that the Company is not required to include in
     its proxy statement a shareholder nomination of persons for election to the
     Board of  Trustees  or a  shareholder  proposal  of  business to be brought
     before an annual or special meeting of  shareholders,  unless the proponent
     shareholder has complied with (1) all applicable  requirements of state and
     federal law and the rules and regulations thereunder,  including Rule 14a-8
     or any successor  provision under the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, and
     (2) the advance notice and the other applicable procedures and requirements
     set forth in the Bylaws.  This Bylaw provision does not affect any right of
     the  Company  to omit a  shareholder  proposal  from  the  Company's  proxy
     statement under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including  nominations
     of persons for election to the Board of Trustees and business to be brought
     before the shareholders at an annual or special meeting of shareholders.

o    The amended  Bylaws  include  provisions  to clarify the  organization  and
     conduct of meetings of  shareholders.  These  include,  among other things,
     that

     o    meetings of shareholders will be conducted by an individual  appointed
          by the Trustees to be chairperson of the meeting or, in the absence of
          such  appointment  or the  absence  of the  appointed  individual,  by
          specified officers of the Company or, in the absence of such officers,
          a  chairperson  chosen by the  shareholders  by the vote of holders of
          shares of  beneficial  interest  representing  a majority of the votes
          cast by shareholders present in person or represented by proxy;

     o    the  order of  business  and all other  matters  of  procedure  at any
          meeting of  shareholders  will be determined by the chairperson of the
          meeting;

     o    the  chairperson of the meeting may prescribe such rules,  regulations
          and  procedures  and take such actions as, in the  discretion  of such
          chairperson,  are  appropriate  for the proper conduct of the meeting,
          including,  without limitation:  (1) restricting admission to the time
          set for the  commencement of the meeting;  (2) limiting  attendance at
          the  meeting  to  shareholders  of record of the  Company,  their duly
          authorized  proxies or other such  persons as the  chairperson  of the
          meeting may determine;  (3) limiting  participation  at the meeting on
          any matter to shareholders  of record of the Company  entitled to vote
          on such matter, their duly authorized proxies or other such persons as
          the  chairperson of the meeting may  determine;  (4) limiting the time
          allotted to questions  or comments by  participants;  (5)  maintaining
          order and security at the meeting;  (6)  removing any  shareholder  or
          other person who refuses to comply with meeting  procedures,  rules or
          guidelines  as set forth by the  chairperson  of the meeting;  and (7)
          recessing or adjourning the meeting to a later date and time and place
          announced at the meeting; and

     o    unless  otherwise  determined  by  the  chairperson  of  the  meeting,
          meetings of  shareholders  are not  required to be held in  accordance
          with the rules of parliamentary  procedure or any established rules of
          order.

         As  stated in the  Company's  proxy  statement  dated  March  23,  2000
relating to the annual meeting of shareholders held on May 9, 2000,  shareholder
proposals  intended to be  presented  at the  Company's  2001 Annual

Meeting of Shareholders pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 must be received by the Company at its principal  executive  offices not
later than December 1, 2000.

         Under the amended Bylaws, in order to be considered "timely" within the
meaning of Rule 14a-4(c) under the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, notice of a
shareholder  proposal  intended for  presentation  at the Company's  2001 Annual
Meeting of Shareholders made outside of Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 must be received by the Company no later than January 2, 2001 and no
earlier than December 1, 2000, rather than respective dates which were specified
in the  Company's  proxy  statement  dated March 31,  2000,  and must be made in
accordance  with the  provisions,  requirements  and procedures set forth in the
Company's amended Bylaws.

CERTAIN IMPORTANT FACTORS

This  Quarterly  Report  on  Form  10-Q  contains  statements  which  constitute
forward-looking  statements within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934,  as amended.  Those  statements  appear in a number of places on this Form
10-Q and  include  statements  regarding  our  beliefs,  intent  or  expectation
concerning  projections,  plans,  future events and performance.  The estimates,
assumptions  and  statements,  such  as  those  relating  to  the  approval  and
consummation  of the  Mariner  and IHS  agreements,  our  ability to operate and
stabilize  operations  at  the  Mariner  and  IHS  properties,  our  ability  to
successfully  negotiate with Mariner's subtenants and our ability to make future
distributions,  depend  upon  various  factors  over some of which we and/or our
lessees have or may have limited or no control.  Readers are cautioned  that any
such forward  looking  statements are not guarantees of future  performance  and
involve risks and  uncertainties,  and that actual results may differ materially
from those contained in the forward looking  statements.  Material changes could
occur  as  a  result  of  numerous  factors.  Those  factors  include,   without
limitation,  our ability to successfully  operate the Mariner and IHS properties
whose  operations  we assume,  the status of the economy,  status of the capital
markets (including  prevailing  interest rates),  compliance with the changes to
regulations within the healthcare industry,  competition in both the real estate
and healthcare industries,  changes to federal, state, and local legislation and
other factors.  We cannot predict the impact of these factors,  if any. However,
these  factors  could  cause our actual  results  for  subsequent  periods to be
different  from  those  stated,  estimated  or assumed  in this  discussion  and
analysis of our financial  condition and results of operations.  We believe that
our estimates  and  assumptions  are  reasonable  and prudent at this time.  The
information  contained in this Form 10-Q,  including the  information  under the
heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations", identifies other important factors that could cause differences.

THE AMENDED AND RESTATED  DECLARATION OF TRUST  ESTABLISHING THE COMPANY,  DATED

ASSESSMENTS  AND TAXATION OF MARYLAND,  PROVIDES  THAT THE NAME "SENIOR  HOUSING

LIABILITY,  JOINTLY OR SEVERALLY,  FOR ANY OBLIGATION OF, OR CLAIM AGAINST,  THE
COMPANY.  ALL PERSONS DEALING WITH US, IN ANY WAY, SHALL LOOK ONLY TO THE ASSETS
OF SENIOR HOUSING PROPERTIES TRUST FOR THE PAYMENT OF ANY SUM OR THE PERFORMANCE
OF ANY OBLIGATION.

         Section 2.5. Notice of Adjourned Meetings. It shall not be necessary to
give notice of the time and place of any adjourned meeting or of the business to
be transacted  thereat other than by  announcement  at the meeting at which such
adjournment is taken,  except that when a meeting is adjourned for more than 120
days after the original  record date,  notice of the adjourned  meeting shall be
given as in the case of an original meeting.

         Section 2.6.  Scope of Notice.  No business  shall be  transacted at an
annual or special meeting of shareholders  except as specifically  designated in
the notice or otherwise  properly  brought before the  shareholders by or at the
direction of the Trustees.

         Section 2.7.  Organization  of Shareholder  Meetings.  Every meeting of
shareholders shall be conducted by an individual appointed by the Trustees to be
chairperson of the meeting or, in the absence of such appointment or the absence
of the appointed  individual,  by the chairman of the board or, in the case of a
vacancy in the office or absence  of the  chairman  of the board,  by one of the
following  officers  present at the meeting:  the vice chairman of the board, if
there be one,  the  president,  the vice  presidents  in their order of rank and
seniority  or, in the  absence of such  officers,  a  chairperson  chosen by the
shareholders   by  the  vote  of  holders  of  shares  of  beneficial   interest
representing a majority of the votes cast by  shareholders  present in person or
represented by proxy. The secretary or, in the secretary's absence, an assistant
secretary  or, in the absence of both the  secretary  and any and all  assistant
secretaries,  a person  appointed  by the  Trustees  or, in the  absence of such
appointment,  a person  appointed by the chairperson of the meeting shall act as
secretary of the meeting and record the minutes of the meeting. If the secretary
presides as  chairperson  at a meeting of the  shareholders,  then the secretary
shall not also act as  secretary  of the  meeting  and record the minutes of the
meeting. The order of business and all other matters of procedure at any meeting
of  shareholders  shall be determined  by the  chairperson  of the meeting.  The
chairperson of the meeting may prescribe such rules,  regulations and procedures

for the proper  conduct  of the  meeting,  including,  without  limitation:  (a)
restricting  admission to the time set for the commencement of the meeting;  (b)
limiting attendance at the meeting to shareholders of record of the Trust, their
duly authorized  proxies or other such persons as the chairperson of the meeting
may  determine;  (c)  limiting  participation  at the  meeting  on any matter to
shareholders of record of the Trust entitled to vote on such matter,  their duly
authorized  proxies or other such persons as the  chairperson of the meeting may
determine;   (d)  limiting  the  time  allotted  to  questions  or  comments  by
participants;  (e) maintaining  order and security at the meeting;  (f) removing
any  shareholder or other person who refuses to comply with meeting  procedures,
rules or  guidelines  as set forth by the  chairperson  of the meeting;  and (g)
recessing or adjourning the meeting to a later date and time and place announced
at the meeting.  Unless otherwise  determined by the chairperson of the meeting,
meetings of shareholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the
rules of parliamentary procedure or any established rules of order.

         Section 2.8. Quorum.  At any meeting of  shareholders,  the presence in
person or by proxy of shareholders  entitled to cast a majority of all the votes
entitled to be cast at such meeting shall constitute a quorum;  but this section
shall not affect any  requirement  under any statute or the Declaration of Trust
for the vote necessary for the adoption of any measure. If, however, such quorum
shall not be  present  at any  meeting  of the  shareholders,  the  shareholders
entitled to vote at such meeting,  present in person or by proxy, shall have the
power to adjourn the meeting  from time to time to a date not more than 120 days
after the original  record  date.  At such  adjourned  meeting at which a quorum
shall  be  present,  any  business  may be  transacted  which  might  have  been
transacted at the meeting as originally notified.

         Section 2.9.  Voting.  A majority of all the votes cast at a meeting of
shareholders duly called and at which a quorum is present shall be sufficient to
elect a Trustee.  Each share may be voted for as many  individuals  as there are
Trustees to be elected and for whose election the share is entitled to be voted.
A majority  of the votes cast at a meeting of  shareholders  duly  called and at
which a quorum is present  shall be sufficient to approve any other matter which
may properly  come before the meeting,  unless more than a majority of the votes
cast is required herein or by statute or by the Declaration of Trust.

         Section 2.10.  Proxies. A shareholder may cast the votes entitled to be
cast by him either in person or by proxy  executed by the  shareholder or by his
duly authorized  agent in any manner permitted by law. Such proxy shall be filed
with such officer of the Trust as the Trustees  shall have  designated  for such
purpose  for  verification  prior to such  meeting.  Any proxy  relating  to the
Trust's shares of beneficial  interest shall be valid until the expiration  date
therein or, if no expiration  is so  indicated,  for such period as is permitted
pursuant to Maryland law. At a meeting of shareholders, all questions concerning
the  qualification  of voters,  the validity of proxies,  and the  acceptance or
rejection of votes,  shall be decided by the  secretary  of the meeting,  unless
inspectors  of election are  appointed  pursuant to Section 2.13, in which event
such  inspectors  shall pass upon all  questions and shall have all other duties
specified in said section.

         Section 2.11.  Voting Rights.  The Board of Trustees shall fix the date
for determination of shareholders entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders.
If no date is fixed for the  determination of the shareholders  entitled to vote
at any meeting of  shareholders,  only persons in whose names shares entitled to
vote stand on the share  records of the Trust at the  opening of business on the
day of any meeting of shareholders shall be entitled to vote at such meeting.

         Section 2.12. Voting of Shares by Certain Holders.  Shares of the Trust
registered in the name of a corporation,  partnership, trust or other entity, if
entitled  to be voted,  may be voted by the  president  or a vice  president,  a
general partner or trustee thereof,  as the case may be, or a proxy appointed by
any of the  foregoing  individuals,  unless  some  other  person  who  has  been
appointed  to vote  such  shares  pursuant  to a bylaw  or a  resolution  of the
governing board of such  corporation or other entity or pursuant to an agreement
of the  partners of the  partnership  presents a  certified  copy of such bylaw,
resolution  or  agreement,  in which case such person may vote such shares.  Any
trustee  or other  fiduciary  may  vote  shares  registered  in his name as such
fiduciary, either in person or by proxy.

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

         Shares of the Trust  directly  or  indirectly  owned by it shall not be
voted at any meeting and shall not be counted in determining the total number of
outstanding  shares entitled to be voted at any given time, unless they are held
by it in a  fiduciary  capacity,  in which  case  they may be voted and shall be
counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time.

         The Trustees may adopt by resolution a procedure by which a shareholder
may  certify in writing to the Trust that any shares  registered  in the name of
the  shareholder  are held for the account of a specified  person other than the
shareholder.  The resolution  shall set forth the class of shareholders  who may
make the certification, the purpose for which the certification may be made, the
form  of  certification  and  the  information  to be  contained  in it;  if the
certification  is with respect to a record date or closing of the share transfer
books,  the time after the record  date or closing of the share  transfer  books
within  which the  certification  must be received  by the Trust;  and any other
provisions with respect to the procedure which the Trustees  consider  necessary
or  desirable.  On receipt of such  certification,  the person  specified in the
certification  shall  be  regarded  as,  for  the  purposes  set  forth  in  the
certification, the shareholder of record of the specified shares in place of the
shareholder who makes the certification.

         Notwithstanding   any  other  provision  contained  herein  or  in  the
Declaration  of Trust or these Bylaws,  Title 3, Subtitle 7 of the  Corporations
and  Associations  Article of the  Annotated  Code of Maryland (or any successor
statute)  shall  not  apply  to any  acquisition  by any  person  of  shares  of
beneficial  interest of the Trust. This section may be repealed,  in whole or in
part, at any time, whether before or after an acquisition of control shares and,
upon such repeal,  may, to the extent provided by any successor bylaw,  apply to
any prior or subsequent control share acquisition.

         Section  2.13.  Inspectors.   At  any  meeting  of  shareholders,   the
chairperson  of the meeting may appoint one or more  persons as  inspectors  for
such meeting.  Such  inspectors  shall ascertain and report the number of shares
represented  at the meeting based upon their  determination  of the validity and
effect of proxies,  count all votes,  report the results and perform  such other
acts as are proper to conduct the election and voting at the meeting.

         Each report of an inspector shall be in writing and signed by him or by
a majority of them if there is more than one  inspector  acting at such meeting.
If there is more  than one  inspector,  the  report of a  majority  shall be the
report of the  inspectors.  The report of the  inspector  or  inspectors  on the
number of shares  represented at the meeting and the results of the voting shall
be prima facie evidence thereof.

         Section 2.14. Reports to Shareholders. The Trustees shall submit to the
shareholders  at or before the annual  meeting of  shareholders  a report of the
business  and  operations  of the  Trust  during  such  fiscal  year  containing
financial  statements of the Trust,  accompanied by the report of an independent
certified public  accountant,  and such further  information as the Trustees may
determine is required  pursuant to any law or  regulation  to which the Trust is
subject.  Within  the  earlier of twenty  (20) days after the annual  meeting of
shareholders  or 120 days  after the end of the fiscal  year of the  Trust,  the
Trustees  shall place the annual report on file at the  principal  office of the
Trust and with any  governmental  agencies  as may be required by law and as the
Trustees may deem appropriate.

Nominations  of persons for election to the Board of Trustees and business to be

provisions set forth in this Section 2.15.1.

                  (b) For  nominations  for election to the Board of Trustees or
business  to be  properly  brought  before an annual  meeting  by a  shareholder
pursuant  to Section  2.15.1(a)(iii),  the  shareholder  must have given  timely
notice  thereof in writing to the  secretary of the Trust and such business must
otherwise  be a proper  matter  for  action by  shareholders.  To be  timely,  a
shareholder's  notice  shall be  delivered  to the  secretary  at the  principal
executive  offices of the Trust not later than the close of business on the 90th
day nor  earlier  than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the first
anniversary of the date of mailing of the notice for the preceding year's annual

days from the  anniversary  date of the date of  mailing  of the  notice for the
preceding year's annual meeting,  notice by the shareholder to be timely must be

is first  made by the Trust.  In no event  shall the  public  announcement  of a
postponement  of the  mailing  of the notice  for such  annual  meeting or of an
adjournment  or  postponement  of an  annual  meeting  to a  later  date or time
commence a new time period for the giving of a shareholder's notice as described

shareholder  proposes to nominate for election or reelection  as a Trustee,  (1)
such person's name, age, business address and residence  address,  (2) the class

case  pursuant  to  Regulation  14A  (or  any  successor  provision)  under  the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), including such
person's  written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and

giving  the  notice  and each  beneficial  owner,  if any,  on whose  behalf the
nomination or proposal is made, (1) the name and address of such shareholder, as
they  appear on the  Trust's  share  ledger and  current  name and  address,  if
different,  of any such beneficial  owner and (2) the class and number of shares

                  (c) Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of Section
2.15.1(b)  to the  contrary,  in the event  that the  number of  Trustees  to be
elected  to  the  Board  of  Trustees  is  increased  and  there  is  no  public
announcement by the Trust of such action or specifying the size of the increased
Board of Trustees at least one hundred (100) days prior to the first anniversary
of the date of mailing of notice for the  preceding  year's  annual  meeting,  a
shareholder's  notice  required by this Section  2.15.1 also shall be considered
timely,  but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such
increase, if the notice is delivered to the secretary at the principal executive
offices  of the  Trust  not later  than the  close of  business  on the 10th day
immediately following the day on which such public announcement first is made by
the Trust.

                  Section  2.15.2   Shareholder   Proposals   Causing   Covenant
Breaches.  At the same  time as or prior to the  submission  of any  shareholder
proposal of business to be conducted at an annual  meeting that, if approved and
implemented by the Trust,  would cause the Trust to be in breach of any covenant
of the  Trust in any  existing  or  proposed  debt  instrument  of the  Trust or
agreement  of  the  Trust  with  any  lender,   the  proponent   shareholder  or
shareholders  must  submit  to the  secretary  of  the  Trust  at the  principal
executive  offices  of the  Trust  (a)  evidence  satisfactory  to the  Board of
Trustees of the  lender's  willingness  to waive the breach of covenant or (b) a
plan for repayment of the indebtedness to the lender,  satisfactory to the Board
of  Trustees,  specifically  identifying  the  source of funds to be used in the
repayment and presenting evidence satisfactory to the Board of Trustees that the
identified funds could be applied by the Trust to the repayment.

                  Section  2.15.3  Shareholder  Proposals  Requiring  Regulatory
Notice,  Consent or Approval. At the same time or prior to the submission of any
shareholder  proposal of business to be conducted at an annual  meeting that, if
approved,  could not be implemented by the Trust without  notifying or obtaining
the consent or approval of any federal,  state,  municipal  or other  regulatory
body, the proponent  shareholder or shareholders must submit to the secretary of
the  Trust  at the  principal  executive  offices  of  the  Trust  (a)  evidence
satisfactory  to the  Board  of  Trustees  that  any and all  required  notices,
consents or approvals have been given or obtained or (b) a plan, satisfactory to
the Board of  Trustees,  for  making the  requisite  notices  or  obtaining  the
requisite consents or approvals,  as applicable,  prior to the implementation of
the proposal.

                  Section 2.15.4 Special Meetings of Shareholders.  As set forth
in Section 2.3, only business  properly brought before the meeting pursuant to a
proper  notice  of  meeting  by or at the  direction  of the  Trustees  shall be
conducted  at a special  meeting of  shareholders.  Nominations  of persons  for
election  to the  Board of  Trustees  only may be made at a special  meeting  of
shareholders  at which  Trustees are to be elected:  (a) pursuant to the Trust's
notice of meeting;  (b) by or at the direction of the Board of Trustees;  or (c)
provided  that the Board of  Trustees  has  determined  that  Trustees  shall be
elected  at such  special  meeting,  by any  shareholder  of the  Trust who is a
shareholder of record both at the time of giving of notice  provided for in this
Section 2.15.4 and at the time of the special  meeting,  who is entitled to vote
at the meeting and who  complies  with the notice  procedures  set forth in this
Section  2.15.4.  In the event the Trust calls a special meeting of shareholders
for the purpose of electing one or more  Trustees to the Board of Trustees,  any
such  shareholder  may  nominate  a person or  persons  (as the case may be) for
election to such position as specified in the Trust's notice of meeting,  if the
shareholder's  notice contains the information required by Section 2.15.1(b) and
the  shareholder  has given timely notice thereof in writing to the secretary of
the Trust at the  principal  executive  offices  of the

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

Trust. To be timely, a shareholder's  notice shall be delivered to the secretary
of the Trust at the  principal  executive  offices of the Trust not earlier than
the close of  business  on the 120th day prior to such  special  meeting and not
later than the close of  business on the later of (i) the 90th day prior to such
special  meeting  or  (ii)  the  10th  day  following  the day on  which  public
announcement  is  first  made of the  date  of the  special  meeting  and of the
nominees  proposed by the  Trustees to be elected at such  meeting.  In no event
shall the public  announcement  of a  postponement  or  adjournment of a special
meeting to a later date or time  commence a new time  period for the giving of a
shareholder's notice as described above.

                  Section 2.15.4 General.

                  (a) Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the
procedures set forth in this Section 2.15 shall be eligible to serve as Trustees
and only such  business  as shall  have  been  brought  before  the  meeting  in
accordance  with  the  procedures  set  forth  in this  Section  2.15  shall  be
transacted at a meeting of  shareholders.  The  chairperson of the meeting shall
have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination proposed to be made at
or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made at or brought
before the meeting,  as the case may be, in accordance  with the  procedures set
forth in this Section 2.15 and, if any  proposed  nomination  or business is not
made at or brought  before the meeting in compliance  with this Section 2.15, to
declare  that  such  nomination  or  business  is  out of  order  and  shall  be
disregarded.

                  (b) For  purposes  of this  Section  2.15,  (i) the  "date  of
mailing  of the  notice"  shall  mean the date of the  proxy  statement  for the
solicitation   of  proxies  for  the  election  of  Trustees  and  (ii)  "public
announcement" shall mean disclosure in (A) a press release either transmitted to
the  principal  securities  exchange  on which  the  Trust's  common  shares  of
beneficial interest are traded or reported by a recognized news service or (B) a
document  publicly  filed by the Trust with the  United  States  Securities  and
Exchange Commission.

                  (c) The Trust  shall not be required to include in the Trust's
proxy statement a shareholder  nomination of one or more persons for election to
the Board of Trustees or a shareholder proposal of business to be brought before
an annual or special meeting of shareholders unless the proponent shareholder or
shareholders  shall have complied with (i) all applicable  requirements of state
and  federal law and the rules and  regulations  thereunder,  including  without
limitation Rule 14a-8 (or any successor  provision)  under the Exchange Act, and
(ii) the applicable  procedures and other requirements set forth in this Section
2.15.  Nothing in this  Section  2.15 shall be deemed to affect any right of the
Trust to omit a shareholder  proposal from the Trust's proxy statement under the
Exchange Act, including without  limitation  nominations of persons for election
to the Board of Trustees and business to be brought before the  shareholders  at
an annual or special meeting of shareholders.

         Section 2.16. No Shareholder  Actions by Written Consent.  Shareholders
shall not be authorized or permitted to take any action required or permitted to
be taken at a meeting  of  shareholders  by written  consent,  and may take such

Declaration of Trust and hereby.

         Section  2.17.  Voting  by  Ballot.  Voting on any  question  or in any

         Section 3.1. General Powers; Qualifications; Trustees Holding Over. The
business  and affairs of the Trust shall be managed  under the  direction of its
Board of Trustees.  A Trustee shall be an individual  at least  twenty-one  (21)
years of age who is not under  legal  disability.  In case of  failure  to elect

until their successors are elected and qualify.

         Section 3.2.  Independent  Trustees. A majority of the Trustees holding
office shall at all times be Independent Trustees (as defined below);  provided,
however,  that upon a failure to comply with this requirement as a result of the
creation of a temporary vacancy which must be filled by an Independent  Trustee,
whether as a result of enlargement of the Board of Trustees or the  resignation,
removal or death of a Trustee who is an Independent  Trustee,  such  requirement
shall not be applicable. An Independent Trustee is one who is not an employee of
the Advisor (as defined in Article  XIII) and who is not involved in the Trust's
day-to-day activities.

         Section 3.3. Managing  Trustees.  Any Trustee who is not an Independent

"SDAT") as of May 11, 2000, the number of Trustees constituting the entire Board
of Trustees may be  increased  or decreased  from time to time only by a vote of
the Trustees,  provided however that the tenure of office of a Trustee shall not
be affected by any decrease in the number of Trustees.

         Section  3.5.  Annual and Regular  Meetings.  An annual  meeting of the
Trustees  shall be held  immediately  after and at the same  place as the annual
meeting of shareholders,  no notice other than this Bylaw being  necessary.  The
time and place of the annual meeting of the Trustees may be changed by the Board
of Trustees. The Trustees may provide, by resolution, the time and place, either
within or without the State of Maryland,  for the holding of regular meetings of
the Trustees without other notice than such resolution.

         Section 3.6. Special Meetings.  Special meetings of the Trustees may be
called at any time by the  chairman of the board,  any  Managing  Trustee or the
president and shall be called by request of any two (2) Trustees then in office.
The person or persons  authorized  to call special  meetings of the Trustees may
fix any place, either within or without the State of Maryland,  as the place for
holding any special meeting of the Trustees called by them.

         Section 3.7.  Notice.  Notice of any special  meeting shall be given by
written notice delivered personally,  telegraphed, delivered by electronic mail,
telephoned,  facsimile-transmitted  or mailed to each Trustee at his business or
residence    address.    Personally    delivered,    telegraphed,

forty-eight  (48) hours prior to the  meeting.  If mailed,  such notice shall be
deemed to be given when  deposited in the U.S.  mail  properly  addressed,  with
postage thereon prepaid. If given by telegram, such notice shall be deemed to be
given when the telegram is delivered to the telegraph  company.  Electronic mail
notice  shall be deemed to be given  upon  transmission  of the  message  to the
electronic  mail  address  given to the Trust by the Trustee.  Telephone  notice
shall be deemed  given when the  Trustee is  personally  given such  notice in a
telephone  call to which he is a party.  Facsimile-transmission  notice shall be
deemed given upon  completion of the  transmission  of the message to the number
given  to the  Trust by the  Trustee  and  receipt  of a  completed  answer-back
indicating  receipt.  Neither the business to be transacted  at, nor the purpose
of, any annual, regular or special meeting of the Trustees need be stated in the
notice, unless specifically required by statute or these Bylaws.

         Section  3.8.  Quorum.  A majority of the Trustees  shall  constitute a
quorum for  transaction  of business at any  meeting of the  Trustees,  provided
that,  if less than a majority  of such  Trustees  are  present at a meeting,  a
majority of the  Trustees  present  may  adjourn  the meeting  from time to time
without  further  notice,   and  provided  further  that  if,  pursuant  to  the
Declaration  of Trust or these  Bylaws,  the vote of a majority of a  particular
group of  Trustees is  required  for action,  a quorum for that action must also
include a majority of such group.

         The  Trustees  present  at a meeting  which has been  duly  called  and
convened may continue to transact  business until  adjournment,  notwithstanding
the withdrawal of enough Trustees to leave less than a quorum.

         Section 3.9. Voting. The action of the majority of the Trustees present
at a meeting at which a quorum is present  shall be the action of the  Trustees,
unless the  concurrence  of a greater  proportion is required for such action by
specific provision of an applicable  statute,  the Declaration of Trust or these
Bylaws.

         Section 3.10. Telephone Meetings. Trustees may participate in a meeting
by means of a conference  telephone or similar  communications  equipment if all
persons  participating  in the  meeting  can hear each  other at the same  time.
Participation in a meeting by these means shall constitute presence in person at
the  meeting.  Such  meeting  shall  be  deemed  to  have  been  held at a place
designated by the Trustees at the meeting.

         Section  3.11.   Informal  Action  by  Trustees.   Unless  specifically
otherwise provided in the Declaration of Trust, any action required or permitted
to be taken at any meeting of the Trustees may be taken without a meeting,  if a
majority of the Trustees shall  individually or collectively  consent in writing
to such action. Such written consent or consents shall be filed with the records
of the Trust and shall have the same force and effect as the affirmative vote of
such  Trustees  at a duly held  meeting  of the  Trustees  at which a quorum was
present.

         Section 3.12. Waiver of Notice. The actions taken at any meeting of the
Trustees,  however  called and  noticed or wherever  held,  shall be as valid as
though taken at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice if a quorum is
present and if,  either  before or after the  meeting,

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

each of the Trustees not present signs a written waiver of notice,  a consent to
the holding of such  meeting or an approval  of the  minutes  thereof.  All such
waivers,  consents or approvals shall be lodged with the Trust records or made a
part of the minutes of the meeting.

         Section  3.13.  Vacancies.   Pursuant  to  the  Articles  Supplementary
accepted for record by the SDAT as of May 11, 2000, if for any reason any or all
the Trustees  cease to be Trustees,  such event shall not terminate the Trust or
affect these Bylaws or the powers of the remaining  Trustees  hereunder (even if
fewer than three (3) Trustees remain).  Any vacancy on the Board of Trustees may
be filled only by a majority of the  remaining  Trustees,  even if the remaining
Trustees do not constitute a quorum. Any Trustee elected to fill a vacancy shall
hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of Trustees in which
the vacancy occurred and until a successor is elected and qualifies.

         The  number  of  Trustees  in Group I shall be two (2),  the  number of
Trustees  in Group II shall be two (2),  and the number of Trustees in Group III
shall be one (1) (each of Group I,  Group II and Group  III  being  referred  to
herein as a "Group"). A majority of the entire Board of Trustees shall designate
the Group of which each Trustee  shall be a member,  subject to the  limitations
contained  in  Section  5.2.2 of the  Declaration  of  Trust.  In the  event the
Trustees  reduce the size of the Board of  Trustees,  the majority of the entire
Board of  Trustees  shall  reduce the size of one or more Group or Groups by the
aggregate  reduction in the number of the Trustees,  subject to the  limitations
contained in Section 5.2.2 of the Declaration of Trust.

         Section 3.14. Compensation; Financial Assistance.

                  Section 3.14.1 Compensation. The Trustees shall be entitled to
receive  such  reasonable  compensation  for their  services  as Trustees as the
Trustees  may  determine  from  time to time.  Trustees  may be  reimbursed  for
expenses of attendance,  if any, at each annual,  regular or special  meeting of
the Trustees or of any committee  thereof;  and for their  expenses,  if any, in
connection with each property visit and any other service or activity  performed
or engaged in as Trustee. The Trustees shall be entitled to receive remuneration
for services rendered to the Trust in any other capacity,  and such services may
include, without limitation, services as an officer of the Trust, services as an
employee of the Advisor,  legal,  accounting or other professional  services, or
services as a broker,  transfer  agent or  underwriter,  whether  performed by a
Trustee or any person affiliated with a Trustee.

                  Section 3.14.2 Financial Assistance to Trustees. The Trust may
lend money to,  guarantee an  obligation  of or otherwise  assist a Trustee or a
trustee of its  direct or  indirect  subsidiary.  The loan,  guarantee  or other
assistance may be with or without  interest,  unsecured or secured in any manner
that the Board of Trustees approves, including by a pledge of shares.

         Section 3.15.  Removal of Trustees.  The shareholders may, at any time,
remove any Trustee in the manner provided in the Declaration of Trust.

         Section 3.16. Loss of Deposits. No Trustee shall be liable for any loss
which may occur by reason of the failure of the bank, trust company, savings and
loan  association  or other  institution  with whom  moneys or shares  have been
deposited.

         Section 3.17.  Surety Bonds.  Unless  specifically  required by law, no
Trustee shall be obligated to give any bond or surety or other  security for the
performance of any of his duties.

         Section 3.18. Reliance.  Each Trustee,  officer,  employee and agent of
the Trust shall,  in the performance of his duties with respect to the Trust, be
fully  justified  and  protected  with  regard to any act or  failure  to act in
reliance in good faith upon the books of account or other  records of the Trust,
upon an  opinion  of  counsel  or upon  reports  made to the Trust by any of its
officers  or  employees  or by the  Advisor,  accountants,  appraisers  or other
experts or  consultants  selected  by the  Trustees  or  officers  of the Trust,
regardless of whether such counsel or expert may also be a Trustee.

         Section 3.19.  Interested  Trustee  Transactions.  Section 2-419 of the
Maryland  General  Corporation Law (the "MGCL") shall be available for and apply
to any contract or other  transaction  between the Trust and any of its Trustees
or between the Trust and any other trust,  corporation,  firm or other entity in
which any of its  Trustees is a trustee or director or has a material  financial
interest.

         Section  3.20.  Qualifying  Shares Not  Required.  Trustees need not be
shareholders of the Trust.

         Section  3.21.  Certain  Rights of Trustees,  Officers,  Employees  and
Agents.  The Trustees shall have no  responsibility to devote their full time to
the  affairs of the Trust.  Any  Trustee or  officer,  employee  or agent of the
Trust,  in his personal  capacity or in a capacity as an affiliate,  employee or
agent of any other person, or otherwise,  may have business interests and engage
in  business  activities  similar or in  addition to those of or relating to the
Trust.

         Section 3.22. Certain Transactions. Notwithstanding any other provision
in the Bylaws,  no  determination  shall be made by the  Trustees  nor shall any
transaction  be entered  into by the Trust that would  cause any shares or other
beneficial  interest  in the Trust not to  constitute  "transferable  shares" or
"transferable  certificates of beneficial  interest" under Section  856(a)(2) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or which would cause
any  distribution to constitute a preferential  dividend as described in Section
562(c) of the Code.

meetings shall be given in the same manner as notice for special meetings of the
Board of Trustees.

         One-third, but not less than one, of the members of any committee shall
be present in person at any meeting of such  committee in order to  constitute a
quorum  for  the  transaction  of  business  at such  meeting,  and the act of a
majority  present  at a  meeting  at the time of such  vote if a quorum  is then
present shall be the act of such committee.  The Board of Trustees may designate
a  chairman  of any  committee,  and such  chairman  or any two  members  of any
committee  may fix the time and place of its  meetings  unless  the Board  shall
otherwise provide.  In the absence or disqualification of any member of any such
committee,  the members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from
voting, whether or not they constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another
Trustee  to act at the  meeting  in the  place of such  absent  or  disqualified
members.

         Each committee  shall keep minutes of its  proceedings and shall report
the same to the Board of Trustees at the next succeeding meeting, and any action
by the  committee  shall be subject to revision and  alteration  by the Board of
Trustees, provided that no rights of third persons shall be affected by any such
revision or alteration.

         Section 4.4. Telephone Meetings. Members of a committee of the Trustees
may  participate  in a meeting  by means of a  conference  telephone  or similar
communications  equipment if all persons  participating  in the meeting can hear
each other at the same time.  Participation  in a meeting by these  means  shall
constitute presence in person at the meeting.

         Section 4.5.  Informal  Action by  Committees.  Any action  required or
permitted to be taken at any meeting of a committee of the Trustees may be taken
without a meeting,  if a consent  in  writing  to such  action is signed by each
member of the  committee  and such written  consent is filed with the minutes of
proceedings of such committee.

         Section 4.6. Vacancies.  Subject to the provisions hereof, the Board of
Trustees  shall  have the  power at any time to  change  the  membership  of any
committee,  to fill all vacancies, to designate alternate members to replace any
absent or disqualified member or to dissolve any such committee.

held after each  annual  meeting of  shareholders.  If the  election of officers
shall  not be  held  at  such  meeting,  such  election  shall  be  held as soon
thereafter  as may be  convenient.  Each  officer  shall hold  office  until his
successor is elected and

                                      -12-

qualifies or until his death,  resignation or removal in the manner  hereinafter
provided.  Any two or more offices  except  president and vice  president may be
held by the same person.  In their  discretion,  the Trustees may leave unfilled
any office  except that of president  and  secretary.  Election of an officer or
agent  shall not of itself  create  contract  rights  between the Trust and such
officer or agent.

         Section 5.2. Removal and Resignation. Any officer or agent of the Trust
may be removed by the Trustees if in their  judgment  the best  interests of the

the contract rights, if any, of the person so removed.  Any officer of the Trust
may  resign  at any time by giving  written  notice  of his  resignation  to the
Trustees,  the  chairman  of the board,  the  president  or the  secretary.  Any
resignation  shall  take  effect at any time  subsequent  to the time  specified
therein or, if the time when it shall become effective is not specified therein,
immediately  upon its receipt.  The  acceptance  of a  resignation  shall not be
necessary to make it effective unless otherwise stated in the resignation.  Such
resignation  shall be without  prejudice to the contract rights,  if any, of the
Trust.

         Section  5.3.  Vacancies.  A vacancy in any office may be filled by the

Trust, as determined by the Trustees, and for the administration of the business
affairs of the Trust.  In the absence of both the chairman and vice  chairman of
the board,  the chief  executive  officer shall preside over the meetings of the

executive officer.

         Section 5.7.  Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Board.  The chairman of
the board,  if any, shall in general  oversee all of the business and affairs of
the Trust. In the absence of the chairman of the board, the vice chairman of the
board, if any, shall preside at such meetings at which he shall be present.  The
chairman  and the vice  chairman  of the board,  if any,  may  execute any deed,
mortgage,  bond,  contract  or  other  instrument,  except  in cases  where  the
execution  thereof  shall be  expressly  delegated  by the  Trustees or by these
Bylaws to some other  officer or agent of the Trust or shall be  required by law
to be otherwise executed. The chairman of the board and the vice chairman of the
board, if any, shall perform such other duties as may be assigned to him or them
by the Trustees.  In the absence of a chairman and vice chairman of the board or
if none are appointed,  the Managing Trustees,  or either of them, shall perform
all duties and have all power and authority assigned to the chairman under these
Bylaws.

executed;  and in general  shall  perform  all duties  incident to the office of
president  and such other duties as may be  prescribed by the Trustees from time
to time.

         Section 5.9. Vice Presidents. In the absence of the president or in the
event of a vacancy in such office,  the vice president (or in the event there be
more than one vice president, the vice presidents in the order designated at the
time of their election or, in the absence of any designation,  then in the order
of their  election) shall perform the duties of the president and when so acting
shall have all the powers of and be  subject  to all the  restrictions  upon the
president;  and  shall  perform  such  other  duties as from time to time may be
assigned to him by the president or by the Trustees.  The Trustees may designate

                      CONTRACTS, LOANS, CHECKS AND DEPOSITS

         Section 6.1. Contracts. The Trustees may authorize any officer or agent
to enter into any contract or to execute and deliver any  instrument in the name
of and on behalf of the Trust and such  authority  may be general or confined to
specific  instances.  Any  agreement,  deed,  mortgage,  lease or other document
executed by one or more of the  Trustees  or by an  authorized  person  shall be
valid and  binding  upon the  Trustees  and upon the Trust  when  authorized  or
ratified by action of the Trustees.

                                     SHARES

         Section  7.1.  Certificates.  Ownership of shares shall be evidenced by
certificates.   Each   shareholder   shall  be  entitled  to  a  certificate  or
certificates,  in such form as the  Trustees  shall  from time to time  approve,
which  shall  represent  and  certify  the  number of  shares  of each  class of
beneficial  interests held by him in the Trust.  Unless otherwise  determined by
the Trustees,  such certificates shall be signed by the chief executive officer,
the  president or a vice  president  and  countersigned  by the  secretary or an
assistant secretary or the treasurer or an assistant treasurer and may be sealed
with the seal,  if any, of the Trust.  The  signatures  may be either  manual or
facsimile.  Certificates shall be consecutively numbered; and if the Trust shall
from time to time issue several  classes of shares,  each class may have its own
number  series.  A  certificate  is valid  and may be issued  whether  or not an
officer  who signed it is still an officer  when it is  issued.  There  shall be
filed with each transfer  agent a copy of the form of certificate as approved by
the Trustees,  certified by the chairman,  president or secretary, and such form
shall continue to be used unless and until the Trustees approve some other form.
Each  certificate   representing   shares  which  are  restricted  as  to  their
transferability  or voting  powers,  which are  preferred or limited as to their
dividends or as to their  allocable  portion of the assets upon  liquidation  or
which are redeemable at the option of the Trust,  shall have a statement of such
restriction,  limitation,  preference  or  redemption  provision,  or a  summary
thereof,  plainly  stated  on the  certificate.  In lieu of  such  statement  or
summary,  the  Trust may set forth  upon the face or back of the  certificate  a
statement  that the Trust will  furnish to any  shareholder,  upon  request  and
without charge, a full statement of such information.

         Section 7.2. Transfers.

                  (a)  Certificates  shall be  treated as  negotiable  and title
thereto  and to the shares  they  represent  shall be  transferred  by  delivery
thereof  to the same  extent  as those of a  Maryland  stock  corporation.  Upon
surrender to the Trust or the transfer agent of the Trust of a share certificate
duly endorsed or  accompanied by proper  evidence of  succession,  assignment or
authority to  transfer,  the Trust shall issue a new  certificate  to the person
entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the transaction upon its
books.

                  (b) The Trust  shall be entitled to treat the holder of record
of any share or shares as the holder in fact thereof and, accordingly, shall not
be bound to recognize  any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share
or shares on the part of any other person,  whether or not it shall have express
or other notice thereof,  except as otherwise provided in these Bylaws or by the
laws of the State of Maryland.

                  (c)  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  transfers  of shares of
beneficial  interest  of the  Trust  will  be  subject  in all  respects  to the
Declaration of Trust and all of the terms and conditions contained therein.

         Section 7.3.  Replacement  Certificate.  Any officer  designated by the
Trustees may direct a new  certificate to be issued in place of any  certificate
previously  issued by the Trust  alleged to have been lost,  stolen or destroyed
upon  the  making  of an  affidavit  of that  fact by the  person  claiming  the
certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed.  When authorizing the issuance of a
new  certificate,  an officer  designated by the Trustees may, in his discretion
and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof,  require the owner of such
lost,  stolen or destroyed  certificate or the owner's legal  representative  to
advertise the same in such manner as he shall require and/or to give bond,  with
sufficient  surety, to the Trust to indemnify it against any loss or claim which
may arise as a result of the issuance of a new certificate.

         Section 7.4. Closing of Transfer Books or Fixing of Record Date.

                  (a) The  Trustees  may set, in advance,  a record date for the
purpose  of  determining  shareholders  entitled  to notice of or to vote at any
meeting of shareholders or determining  shareholders entitled to receive payment
of any  dividend or the  allotment  of any other  rights,  or in order to make a
determination of shareholders for any other proper purpose.

                  (b) In lieu of fixing a record date,  the Trustees may provide
that the share transfer books shall be closed for a stated period but not longer
than twenty (20) days. If the share transfer books are closed for the purpose of
determining  shareholders  entitled  to  notice  of or to vote at a  meeting  of
shareholders,  such books  shall be closed for at least ten (10) days before the
date of such meeting.

                  (c) If no record  date is fixed and the share  transfer  books
are not closed for the  determination of  shareholders,  (i) the record date for
the determination of shareholders  entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting
of shareholders shall be at the close of business on the day on which the notice
of meeting is mailed or the 30th day before the meeting, whichever is the closer
date  to the  meeting;  and  (ii)  the  record  date  for the  determination  of
shareholders  entitled to receive  payment of a dividend or an  allotment of any
other rights  shall be the close of

                                      -16-
<PAGE>

business  on the day on which the  resolution  of the  Trustees,  declaring  the
dividend or allotment of rights, is adopted.

                  (d) When a determination  of shareholders  entitled to vote at
any meeting of  shareholders  has been made as provided  in this  section,  such
determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof.

         Section 7.5.  Share Ledger.  The Trust shall  maintain at its principal
office or at the office of its counsel,  accountants  or transfer  agent a share
ledger  containing  the name and address of each  shareholder  and the number of
shares of each class held by such shareholder.

         Section 7.6.  Fractional  Shares;  Issuance of Units.  The Trustees may
issue fractional  shares or provide for the issuance of scrip, all on such terms
and under  such  conditions  as they may  determine.  Notwithstanding  any other
provision of the  Declaration  of Trust or these Bylaws,  the Trustees may issue
units consisting of different  securities of the Trust. Any security issued in a
unit shall have the same  characteristics as any identical  securities issued by
the Trust,  except that the  Trustees  may provide  that for a specified  period
securities of the Trust issued in such unit may be  transferred  on the books of
the Trust only in such unit.

         Section 13.1. Employment of Advisor. The Trustees are not and shall not
be required  personally  to conduct the business of the Trust,  and the Trustees
shall have the power to appoint,  employ or contract with any person  (including
one or more of themselves or any corporation, partnership, or trust in which one
or more of them may be Trustees, officers,  shareholders,  partners or trustees)
as the Trustees may deem necessary or proper for the transaction of the business
of the Trust.  The Trustees may  therefore  employ or contract  with such person
(herein  referred to as the  "Advisor") and may grant or delegate such authority
to the Advisor as the Trustees may in their sole  discretion  deem  necessary or
desirable  without  regard to whether  such  authority  is  normally  granted or
delegated by boards of trustees or boards of directors of business corporations.
The Advisor shall be required to use its best efforts to supervise the operation
of the Trust in a manner consistent with the investment  policies and objectives
of the Trust as established from time to time by the Trustees.

         The  Trustees   shall  have  the  power  to  determine  the  terms  and
compensation  of the Advisor or any other  person whom it may cause the Trust to
employ or with whom it may cause the Trust to contract  for  advisory  services.
The Trustees may exercise broad discretion in allowing the Advisor to administer
and  regulate the  operations  of the Trust,  to act as agent for the Trust,  to
execute  documents  on behalf of the Trustees  and to make  executive  decisions
which conform to general policies and general principles previously  established
by the Trustees.

         Section 13.2.  Other  Activities  of Advisor.  The Advisor shall not be
required to administer the Trust as its sole and exclusive function and may have
other  business  interests  and

                                      -19-
<PAGE>

may engage in other  activities  similar or in addition to those relating to the
Trust,  including  the  rendering  of  advice or  services  of any kind to other
investors or any other persons  (including other real estate investment  trusts)
and the management of other investments. The Trustees may request the Advisor to
engage in certain other activities which complement the Trust's investments, and
the Advisor may receive  compensation or commissions  therefor from the Trust or
other persons.

         Neither the Advisor nor any affiliate of the Advisor shall be obligated
to present any particular  investment  opportunities to the Trust,  even if such
opportunities  are of a character  such that,  if presented  to the Trust,  they
could be taken by the Trust,  and, subject to the foregoing,  each of them shall
be  protected in taking for its own account or  recommending  to others any such
particular investment opportunity.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Advisor shall be required to use its
best  efforts  to present  the Trust  with a  continuing  and  suitable  program
consistent  with the  investment  policies and  objectives of the Trust and with
investments which are representative of, comparable with and on similar terms as
investments  being made by Affiliates of the Advisor,  or by the Advisor for its
own account or for the  account of any person for whom the Advisor is  providing
advisory  services.  In  addition,  the Advisor  shall be required  to, upon the
request of any Trustee, promptly furnish the Trustees with such information on a
confidential basis as to any investments  within the investment  policies of the
Trust made by Affiliates of the Advisor or by the Advisor for its own account or
for the  account  of any  person  for whom the  Advisor  is  providing  advisory
services.

assign  and  surrender  to the New  Operator  designated  by  SPTMNR  all of AMS
Properties' and GCIHCC's  right,  title and interest in, to and under the Master
Lease,  and such New  Operator  shall  accept  such  assignment  and  surrender,

the Tenant  Purchase and Sale Agreement  referred to in each of the South Dakota
Subleases,  or in and to any promissory note delivered by any Subtenant pursuant
thereto or otherwise  delivered in connection with any such Subleases),  (ii) to
the extent  permitted  by law,  all of the Permits  with respect to the Retained
Facilities that the New Manager or the New Operators elect to assume,  and (iii)
all of the  Contracts  with  respect  to the  Retained  Facilities  that the New
Manager or the New Operators elect to assume as provided in Section 10.7 hereof,
but specifically  excluding,  in each of the immediately  preceding clauses (i),
(ii)  and  (iii)  any  Pre-Closing  Obligations  (except,  in  the  case  of the

thereof,  and the SNH Entities shall release to GranCare,  free and clear of all
liens, claims and encumbrances  arising by, through or under any SNH Entity, any

hereto,  with  respect to the  Retained  Facilities  with the New Manager  under

licensure and certificate or determination  of need laws and  regulations,  each
Mariner Operator shall agree to perform certain  management  services  described
therein with respect to the operation of the Retained Facilities and, subject to
the control and direction of the Mariner Operators,  as current  licensees,  the
New Manager may assume  responsibility  for  certain of such  services,  pending
receipt  by the New  Manager  and/or  New  Operator,  as the case may be, of all
licenses,  certificates,  permits  and  approvals  necessary  to  assume  direct
operating  control of such Retained  Facility.  The Mariner Operators also shall
enter into an interim occupancy  agreement (an "Interim  Occupancy  Agreement"),
substantially  in the form attached at Schedule  3.5-B  hereto,  with respect to
each of the Retained  Facilities with the appropriate New Operator,  which shall
provide that during the term of such Interim Occupancy  Agreement,  such Mariner
Operator shall  continue to occupy such Retained  Facility and have such control

and certificate of need statutes and regulations.

convey all of its respective  right,  title and interest,  if any, in and to the
parcels  of  real  property   described  in  Schedule  3.6,  together  with  all

used in  connection  with the operation of the nursing  facility  located on the
Transferred  Real Estate,  in each case free and clear of all liens,  claims and
encumbrances,   except  Permitted  Encumbrances.   All  deeds,  bills  of  sale,
assignments  and other  instruments of transfer or releases  necessary to effect
such   conveyances   shall   expressly   state   that  they  are  made   without
representations  and  warranties,  express or implied,  except as expressly  set
forth in this Agreement.

         3.7 Bankruptcy Code Provisions.  Each of the transactions  provided for
in Sections 3.1,  3.2,  3.3, 3.4 and 3.5 shall be completed in  accordance  with
Sections 105, 363(b),  (f), and (m), and 365 and 1146(c) of the Bankruptcy Code,

licensee,  and to  manage,  as  manager,  the  Retained  Facilities  as they are

              CERTAIN MATTERS RELATING TO TRANSITION OF PROPERTIES

         10.1 Employees; Employee Benefits.

         10.1.1 After the Effective Time and subject to the terms of the Interim
Management  Agreement,  the Mariner Entities shall employ qualified nursing home
administrators who shall be responsible for the functional  day-to-day operation
of the  Retained  Facilities  and  supervision  of  personnel  at  the  Retained
Facilities,  as well  as all  on-site  professional,  custodial,  food  service,
cleaning,   maintenance,   clerical,   secretarial,   bookkeeping,   management,
collection,  and other  employees for the day-to-day  operations of the Retained
Facilities.  All such  administrators  and other personnel shall be employees of
the Mariner Entities.

         Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  the New Manager shall offer employment
to all or substantially  all of the qualified  nursing home  administrators  and
other  employees at the Retained  Facilities as soon after the Effective Time as
is reasonably practicable.  The Mariner Entities acknowledge that the ability of
the New Manager to make any such offer is contingent  upon the  employees  being
employable  under state and Federal law and may be subject to the New Operators'
or New Manager's receipt of all licenses,  permits,  approvals,  authorizations,
provider  agreements,  and  certificates  and  determinations  of  need  as  are
necessary for the New Operators and the New Manager to operate the Facilities as
licensees and to receive  Medicare and Medicaid  reimbursement  for the services
provided  therein,  and that in any event the New  Manager  will  first  have to
implement an appropriate  accounting and payroll function.  The Mariner Entities
further  acknowledge that the New Manager may not hire all such employees on the
same date or at the same time. The Mariner  Entities agree to cooperate with the
New  Manager in  connection  with such offers of  employment  and to release any
personnel  to  whom  the New  Manager  offers  employment  from  any  employment
agreements,  non-competition,  non-solicitation and non-disclosure agreements or
common law obligations relating to their employment with the Mariner Entities to
which they may be a party or subject.

         10.1.2  Payroll and payroll  related  costs shall be prorated as of the
Effective Time.

         In addition, the Mariner Entities shall pay to the New Manager for each
Facility an amount of cash  equivalent to all Employee  Accruals with respect to
such Retained Facility at the Effective Time and, in connection  therewith,  the
SNH Entities shall assume the Mariner Entities' obligation to pay the same.

         AMS Properties,  GCIHCC, or the New Manager,  as the case may be, shall
pay all payroll and payroll related costs, and maintain, prepare and process all
employee  payroll records and tax withholding  filings,  relating to, or arising
out of, any employee's employment from and after the Effective Date, as provided
in the Interim Management Agreement.

<PAGE>

         The  Mariner  Operator  of  each  Retained  Facility  shall,  as of the
Effective Time,  deliver to the New Manager all personnel  records for employees
at such Retained Facility.  Each Mariner Operator shall have the right to retain
copies  of any  files  which  are  delivered  to the New  Manager.  The  Mariner
Operators,  the New  Operators  and the New  Manager,  as the case may be,  each
further  acknowledge  and agree that, in order to facilitate the  application of
the proration  provisions of this Section 10.1, they shall generate  terminating
payrolls and make  corresponding  payments to employees with respect thereto for
each  Retained  Facility  on both the  Effective  Date and the date that the New
Manager  shall hire all or  substantially  all of the employees at such Retained
Facility.

         10.2 Prorations.

                  10.2.1  Revenues and expenses  pertaining to Contracts (to the
extent  applicable),  utility  charges  for the  billing  period  in  which  the
Effective Time occurs,  prepaid expenses,  real estate taxes, municipal charges,
payroll,  Employee  Accruals and Employee  Benefits and other  related  items of
revenue or expense  attributable  to any  Retained  Facility  shall be  prorated
between the Mariner  Operator  for such  Retained  Facility and the relevant New
Operator as of the Effective Time. In general,  such prorations shall be made so
as to reimburse such Mariner  Operator for prepaid expense items,  and to charge
the relevant  Mariner Operator for prepaid revenue items, to the extent that the
same are attributable to periods after the Effective Time.

                  10.2.2  All  such  prorations  shall  be made on the  basis of
actual days elapsed in the relevant  accounting or revenue period and (i) in the
case of utility charges, real estate taxes, municipal charges, payroll, Employee
Accruals and Employee  Benefits,  shall be calculated  and paid at the Effective
Time as provided  in Section  10.2.3  hereof,  based on  invoices,  remittances,
statements and other information available with respect to such charges, and, if
such invoices,  remittances,  statements and other information are not available
with  respect to such  charges,  on  estimates  based on prior  charges for such
items,  (ii) in the case of all Contracts (to the extent  applicable)  and other
items of revenue or expense  attributable  to any  Retained  Facility,  shall be
calculated  and paid on the date that is the sixtieth  (60th) day (the  "True-Up
Time") after the Effective Time, as provided in Section 10.2.3 hereof,  based on
invoices,  remittances,  statements  and other  information  then available with
respect to such charges,  and, if such  invoices,  remittances,  statements  and
other  information  continue to be unavailable with respect to such charges,  on
estimates  based on prior  charges for such items,  and (iii) to the extent that
any  prorations for payments and charges  outlined in the preceding  clauses (i)
and (ii) are based on estimates, the SNH Entities and the Mariner Entities agree
to reconcile the  estimates for such items against the actual costs  therefor by
no later than  September  30, 2000.  The SNH  Entities and the Mariner  Entities
agree  that the  calculation  of the  proration  at the  True-Up  Time  shall be
performed by Ernst & Young U.S.  LLP and that they shall each pay fifty  percent
(50%) of the cost therefor. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement
to the contrary, the SNH Entities shall be obligated to make payment for amounts
it collects on account of any prorations paid to the SNH Entities by the Mariner
Entities in accordance with this Section 10.2.

                  10.2.3 The  accounts of the Mariner  Entities and SNH Entities
created pursuant hereto shall be netted against each other. If (i) the result is
a net positive balance for the



                                      -26-

Mariner Entities,  the SNH Entities shall pay to the Mariner Entities the amount
of such  balance by  corporate  check,  and (ii) if the result is a net positive
balance  for the SNH  Entities,  the  Mariner  Entities  shall pay to SPTMNR the
amount of such balance by corporate check.

                  10.2.4  There  shall  be no  prorations  with  respect  to the
Transferred  Facilities  (other  than with  respect  to rent and  other  amounts
payable  under the  Master  Lease),  as all such  expenses  with  respect to the
Transferred  Facilities are the  responsibility of the Mariner Entities prior to
the Effective Time, as lessee under the Master Lease,  and thereafter,  as owner
of the Transferred Facilities.

         10.3 Accounts  Receivable.  From and after the Effective  Time, (i) the
New Operators shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, own all accounts
receivable  which  relate  to or arise  out of  services  provided  by or at the
Retained Facilities from or after the Effective Time (the "Post-Effective A/R"),
(ii)  the  Mariner   Operators   shall  make  and  effect   collections  of  all
Post-Effective  A/R,  (iii)  the  Mariner  Operators  shall  establish  new bank
accounts (the "New A/R  Accounts") in the name of each Mariner  Operator at such
local banks to be agreed upon by the SNH Entities and the Mariner Entities,  and
shall  instruct all Third Party Payors and other Persons that  directly  deposit
monies into the existing  bank  accounts  (the  "Existing  A/R  Accounts")  with
respect to the Retained Facilities to terminate such direct deposit and commence
depositing such monies into the New A/R Accounts from and after the date that is
sixty (60) days after the  Effective  Time (the "Account  Transfer  Time") or as
soon as is  practicable  thereafter  (and the Mariner  Entities  shall take such
further  action as may be reasonably  necessary to cause such Third Party Payors
and other Persons to comply with such  instructions  so that all  Post-Effective
A/R are deposited into the New A/R Accounts from and after the Account  Transfer
Time or as soon as is practicable thereafter),  (iv) the Mariner Operators shall
continue to endorse and deposit all monies,  checks, drafts or other instruments
or items  received as payment  for any  Post-Effective  A/R with  respect to any
Facility into the Existing A/R Accounts until the Account Transfer Time, (v) the
Mariner Operators shall endorse and deposit all monies,  checks, drafts or other
instruments  or items  received as payment for any  Post-Effective  A/R from and
after the Account Transfer Time into the New A/R Accounts,  (vi) within five (5)
days of the New Operators request therefor (but no sooner than the SNH Licensing
Date),  the Mariner  Operators  shall assign,  set over and transfer the New A/R
Accounts to the New Operators, and (vii) the Mariner Entities shall disburse all
proceeds  attributable  to  Post-Effective  A/R  deposited  in the  Existing A/R
Accounts or the New A/R  Accounts or  otherwise  received or held by the Mariner
Entities to the SNH  Entities  (or to such other  Person as the SNH Entities may
direct) within five (5) days of the Mariner Entities' receipt thereof.

         The SNH Entities and the Mariner  Entities  acknowledge  and agree that

         Interim Management  Agreement,  after the Effective Time, and (ii) with
         respect to the  Transferred  Facilities or any other  operations of the
         Mariner Entities (except as otherwise expressly set forth herein), both
         prior to, and after, the Effective Time;

                  (c) Any liability to set off or recoupment  (including set off

         indenture,  contract or  understanding to which any Mariner Entity is a
         party or by which  it or any of its  property  is  bound,  unless  such
         instrument,   agreement,   indenture,   contract  or  understanding  is
         explicitly  described  and  affirmed and assumed by the SNH Entities in
         this  Agreement  or is  otherwise  expressly  affirmed  and  assumed by
         separate instrument in writing executed by SPTMNR; or

                  (g) Any claim,  order or judgment otherwise arising out of the
         operation of any Facility or other  operations of the Mariner  Entities
         (except  as  otherwise  expressly  set forth  herein  but  specifically
         including any claim,  order or judgment  arising  under any  applicable
         Federal,  state  or  local  statutes,   laws,  ordinances,   rules  and

         or Medicaid  requirements or conditions,  and  environmental  laws), or
         involving the imposition of any lien under any applicable law), in each
         case to the extent  arising or  attributable  to  conditions  or events
         occurring prior to the Effective  Time,  and,  subject to, and upon the
         terms and  conditions  contained in the Interim  Management  Agreement,

         10.5  Indemnification.  Without  limiting  any of the  foregoing,  each
Mariner Entity agrees,  on a joint and several basis,  to indemnify,  defend and
hold  harmless,  the SNH Entities,  and their  respective  officers,  employees,
directors,  trustees,  managers, members, consultants and advisors, any of their
respective successors or assigns (individually an "Indemnitee") from and against
the following (collectively,  "Damages"): (i) all Pre-Closing Obligations or any
contravention or  non-compliance  with the Approval Order, and associated claims
or liability, and all other liabilities,  losses, damages, costs and expenses of
any kind (including,  without limitation,  the reasonable fees and disbursements
of  counsel  for  the  SNH  Entities  in  connection  with  any   investigative,
administrative  or  judicial  proceeding  arising  out of the  operation  of any
Facility or other operations of the Mariner Entities (including any violation or
alleged  violation of any and all applicable  Federal,  state or local statutes,
laws, ordinances,  rules and regulations,  licensing requirements or conditions,
or involving the imposition of any lien under any such applicable law)) prior to
the Effective Time or for any contravention or non-compliance  with the Approval
Order, (ii) any and all liabilities,  losses, damages, costs and expenses of any
kind arising out of either a breach, default,  contravention,  non-compliance by
any Mariner Entity of its obligations under this Agreement or the Approval Order
(including  the  failure  of any  representation  by any  Mariner  Entity  to be
accurate and complete on the date when made or deemed made),  or the enforcement
of such  obligations,  and (iii) the existence,  prior to the Effective Time, of
any Hazardous  Substance  on, in, or under any Retained  Facility (to the



                                      -29-
<PAGE>

extent provided for in the Master Lease). The SNH Entities shall, in addition to
any other rights,  be entitled to payment in compensation  for any of the above,
holding allowed administrative period claims for all such payments due thereon.

         10.6 Post-Effective Time Liabilities (Retained Facilities). Each of the
SNH Entities  acknowledges  and agrees that,  subject to, and upon the terms and
conditions contained in the Interim Management Agreement, the New Manager and/or
the New  Operators  shall  indemnify  the Mariner  Entities from and against all
costs,  expenses and liabilities  arising out of the operation,  maintenance and
management of the Retained Facilities after the Effective Time, except for those
costs,  expenses and liabilities  arising out of the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of any of the Mariner Entities.

         10.7 Financial  Records,  Etc. Each of the SNH Entities and the Mariner
Entities  agree that they shall provide such other party access to the books and
records and other financial information maintained by such party with respect to
the operation of the  Facilities  (both before and after the Effective  Time) as
such party may reasonably  request.  The Mariner  Entities shall provide the SNH
Entities and their  accountants  with such  certifications  with respect to such
financial  information  as the SNH  Entities  may from  time to time  reasonably
request.

         10.8 Contracts. The Mariner Entities acknowledge that the New Operators
may desire to assume certain of the Contracts and, in connection therewith,  the
Mariner  Entities agree that they shall (i) within fifteen (15) Business Days of
the  execution  hereof,  provide the SNH  Entities  with a complete  list of the
Contracts  and  the  status  thereof  (including,  without  limitation,  amounts
outstanding under such Contracts  (including those amounts  outstanding prior to
the  Petition  Date)),  (ii)  assist in the New  Operators'  evaluation  of such
Contracts by providing  such  information  as the New  Operators' may reasonably
request  regarding the contracting  party's  performance  thereunder,  and (iii)
subject to Bankruptcy  Court Approval,  assume and assign any Contracts that the
New Operators may elect to have the Mariner  Entities assume and assign to them,
provided  that in no event shall any Mariner  Entity be required to pay any cure
amounts,  or incur  any  additional  obligations,  under  any such  Contract  in
connection with such assumption and assignment beyond those enforceable  against
the  Mariner  Entities  in their  capacity  as debtors in  possession  (it being
intended by the  parties  hereto  that if the New  Operators  elect to cause the
Mariner  Entities to assume and assign any such Contract in accordance with this
Section  10.7,  the New Operators  will pay any cure amounts  required to effect
such assumption and assignment).

         10.9  Survival.  The  provisions  of this Article 10 shall  survive the
Closing hereunder.

                                   ARTICLE 11

                   DAMAGE TO PROPERTY FROM CASUALTY OR TAKING

the  Effective  Time (which shall not be fully  restored  prior to the Effective
Time),  all sums recovered on



                                      -30-
<PAGE>

account of such insurance shall be held in trust for the benefit of and in order
to be paid over to, and all sums  recoverable  on such account shall be assigned

Entity and the Mariner Entity which owns,  leases or manages such Facility shall
execute and deliver such further instruments of assignment of insurance proceeds
and other documents (including,  without limitation,  appropriate endorsement of
checks)  as any SNH Entity or  Mariner  Entity may from time to time  reasonably
request in order to make such insurance  proceeds  payable to such SNH Entity or
Mariner Entity.

         11.2 In the event that prior to the  Effective  Time any portion of any
Retained  Facility  shall be taken or shall be  threatened  with a taking by any
exercise of the right of eminent domain, or any portion of any Retained Facility
shall  sustain any direct or  consequential  damage for which the owner  thereof
shall be entitled to compensation by any public  authority,  the appropriate SNH
Entity shall be entitled to bring any suit in connection with recovery  therefor
in the name of such SNH Entity or, if applicable,  any Mariner Entity,  or both,
and all sums  received  on  account  of any such  taking  or  damages  and or an
assignment  of all the  owner's  rights to  collect  damages  therefor  shall be
delivered  to the  appropriate  SNH Entity  together  with the  delivery  of the
Transaction  Documents.  The Mariner  Entities  shall  execute and deliver  such
further instruments of assignment and such other documents  (including,  without
limitation,  appropriate endorsements of checks and pleadings) as any SNH Entity
may from time to time reasonably request in connection with the foregoing.

         11.3 In the event that prior to the  Effective  Time any portion of any
Transferred  Facility shall be taken or shall be threatened with a taking by any
exercise  of the right of eminent  domain,  or any  portion  of any  Transferred
Facility  shall sustain any direct or  consequential  damage for which the owner
thereof  shall  be  entitled  to  compensation  by  any  public  authority,  the
appropriate  Mariner  Entity  shall be entitled to bring any suit in  connection
with recovery therefor in the name of such Mariner Entity or, if applicable, any
SNH  Entity,  or both,  and all sums  received  on account of any such taking or
damages  and or an  assignment  of all the  owner's  rights to  collect  damages
therefor shall be delivered to the appropriate  Mariner Entity together with the
delivery  of the  Transaction  Documents.  The SNH  Entities  shall  execute and
deliver  such  further  instruments  of  assignment  and  such  other  documents
(including,   without  limitation,   appropriate   endorsements  of  checks  and
pleadings)  as any Mariner  Entity may from time to time  reasonably  request in
connection with the foregoing.

                                   ARTICLE 12

                                    RELEASES

         12.1 Release of SNH  Entities.  Subject to, and in  consideration  for,
each SNH Entity entering into this Agreement and  consummating  the transactions
contemplated  hereby,  each Mariner Entity shall release and forever  discharge,
each SNH Entity and their respective successors,  assigns, agents, shareholders,
directors,   officers,   employees,   agents,  attorneys,  parent  corporations,
subsidiary corporations, affiliated corporations,  affiliates, and each of them,
from  any and all  claims,  debts,  liabilities,  demands,  obligations,  costs,
expenses, actions



                                      -31-

and causes of action, of every nature and description, whether known or unknown,
absolute,  mature,  or not yet due,  liquidated or  non-liquidated,  contingent,
non-contingent,  direct or indirect or otherwise,  which any Mariner  Entity now
has or at any time may hold, by reason of any matter,  cause or thing  occurred,
done,  omitted or suffered to be done on or prior to the  Effective  Time.  Each
Mariner  Entity waives the benefits of any law,  which may provide in substance:
"A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or
suspect to exist in his favor at the time of  executing  the  release,  which if
known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor." Each
Mariner  Entity  understands  that the facts which it believes to be true at the
time of  making  the  release  provided  for  herein  may  later  turn out to be
different than it believes now or at the time of granting such release, and that
information which is not now or then known or suspected may later be discovered.
Each Mariner  Entity accepts this  possibility,  and each Mariner Entity assumes
the risk of the facts  turning out to be  different  and new  information  being
discovered; and each Mariner Entity further agrees that the release provided for
herein  shall in all  respects  continue  to be  effective  and not  subject  to
termination  or  rescission  because of any  difference in such facts or any new
information.

         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 14.1
or  otherwise,  this release  shall only be effective on and as of the Effective
Time and specifically  only upon the  consummation of the transactions  provided
for in this Agreement and not otherwise.

         None of the  Mariner  Entities  is  releasing  any SNH Entity  from any
claims, debts, liabilities,  demands,  obligations,  costs, expenses, actions or
causes of action arising out of this Agreement,  any Settlement  Document or the
transactions  contemplated  hereby, or otherwise,  except as expressly  provided
herein.

         12.2 Release of Mariner Entities.  Subject to, and in consideration for
each  Mariner  Entity  entering  into  this  Agreement  and   consummating   the
transactions  contemplated  hereby,  each SNH Entity  shall  release and forever
discharge each Mariner Entity and their respective successors,  assigns, agents,
shareholders,   directors,   officers,   employees,  agents,  attorneys,  parent
corporations, subsidiary corporations, affiliated corporations,  affiliates, and
each of them, from any and all claims, debts, liabilities, demands, obligations,
costs, expenses,  actions and causes of action, of every nature and description,
whether known or unknown,  which any SNH Entity now has or at any time may hold,
by reason of any matter,  cause or thing occurred,  done, omitted or suffered to
be done on or prior to the Effective  Time.  Each SNH Entity waives the benefits
of any law, which may provide in substance:  "A general  release does not extend
to claims which the  creditor  does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at
the time of executing  the release,  which if known by him must have  materially
affected his settlement with the debtor." Each SNH Entity  understands  that the
facts which it  believes  to be true at the time of making the release  provided
for herein may later turn out to be  different  than it  believes  now or at the
time of granting such  release,  and that  information  which is not now or then
known or  suspected  may  later be  discovered.  Each SNH  Entity  accepts  this
possibility, and each SNH Entity assumes the risk of the facts turning out to be
different and new  information  being  discovered;  and each SNH Entity  further
agrees that the release provided for herein shall in all



                                      -32-
<PAGE>

respects  continue to be effective and not subject to  termination or rescission
because of any difference in such facts or any new information.

         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 14.2
or  otherwise,  this release  shall only be effective on and as of the Effective
Time and specifically  only upon the  consummation of the transactions  provided
for in this Agreement and not otherwise.

         None of the SNH  Entities  is  releasing  any  Mariner  Entity from any
claims, debts, liabilities,  demands,  obligations,  costs, expenses, actions or
causes of action arising out of this Agreement,  any Settlement  Document or the
transactions  contemplated  hereby, or otherwise,  except as expressly  provided
herein.

         12.3 No  Further  Commitments  by SNH  Entities.  Each  Mariner  Entity
further  acknowledges that, from and after the Effective Time, no SNH Entity has
any existing commitments, obligations or agreements to advance credits or loans,
or to lease property,  or make financial or other  accommodations to any Mariner
Entity,  except  as may be  specifically  set  forth  in this  Agreement  or the
Settlement Documents.

                                   ARTICLE 13

                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

         13.1 MUTUAL  WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY  HERETO  HEREBY
WAIVES  THE  RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY  ACTION  OR  PROCEEDING  BASED  UPON,
ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY  RELATING  TO: (I) THIS  AGREEMENT,  OR ANY OF THE
AGREEMENTS,  INSTRUMENTS  OR  DOCUMENTS  REFERRED  TO HEREIN;  OR (II) ANY OTHER
PRESENT OR FUTURE  INSTRUMENT  OR AGREEMENT  BETWEEN OR AMONG THEM; OR (III) ANY
CONDUCT,  ACTS OR  OMISSIONS  OF ANY  PARTY  HERETO  OR ANY OF THEIR  DIRECTORS,
TRUSTEES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, ATTORNEYS OR ANY OTHER PERSONS AFFILIATED
WITH THEM; IN EACH OF THE FOREGOING CASES,  WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT
OR OTHERWISE.

         13.2  Survival.  Except as otherwise  provided by this  Agreement,  all
covenants,  agreements,  representations  and  warranties  made by each  Mariner
Entity or SNH  Entity  herein  and in all  certificates  and  other  instruments
delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of
the deeds to the  Transferred  Facilities  and the  closing of the  transactions
contemplated  hereby,  and the Mariner  Entities  shall be and remain liable for
breaches of the provisions of this Agreement,  the Interim Management  Agreement
and the Interim  Occupancy  Agreements,  contravention  of the Approval Order or
otherwise  for the  period  including  the  greater  of one (1) year or the last
administrative claims bar date that is established by order of the Court (except
that the SNH Entities shall in all events remain liable to the Mariner  Entities
for the amount of any  deductible  or  self-insured  retention  amounts  paid or
payable  under Section  5.1(a) of the Interim  Management  Agreement  until such
deductible or  self-insured  retention  amounts shall have been paid). If and to
the extent the  Mariner  Entities



                                      -33-
<PAGE>

shall emerge from the Cases pursuant to a confirmed plan of reorganization prior
to the expiration of such period, then the obligations  provided herein shall be
a continuing  obligation of the reorganized Mariner Entities for the duration of
such period and any plan confirmed in the Cases shall so provide.

shall be in  writing  and  delivered,  telegraphed  or mailed  (by  first  class

specific duties described in Sections 2 and 3 hereof.

         In  order  to  permit  the   foregoing,   each  Mariner   Licensee  is,

Proposed SNH Licensee  shall grant to such Mariner  Licensee the right to occupy
such  Facility  and use  certain  related  personal  property  for  purposes  of
exercising its rights, duties and obligations hereunder.

         The Mariner Licensees, the Proposed SNH Licensees and the Manager agree
that,  subject in all events to the  provisions  of the first  paragraph of this
Section 1, the SNH  Proposed  Licensees  or the  Manager  may from time to time,

attached hereto (the "Designated Services Schedule"), with respect to any one or

Facility and be the responsible licensee of such Facility and, as such, be fully
liable and legally  accountable  at all times to all patients  and  governmental
agencies for all patient care and funds at such Facility,  and all other aspects

3. Specific  Duties.  The Mariner  Licensees  shall have the following  specific
duties:

         3.1  Employees.  The Mariner  Licensees  shall recruit,  evaluate,  and

functional  operation  of the  Facilities  and  supervision  of personnel at the
Facilities,  on a  day-to-day  basis,  as  well  as  all  on-site  professional,
custodial,  food  service,   cleaning,   maintenance,   clerical,   secretarial,

<PAGE>

deem  necessary  and advisable in accordance  with  applicable  law. The Mariner

The Mariner  Licensees  shall  maintain  payroll  records and shall  prepare and

nursing home  administrators and other employees at the Facilities as soon after
the  Effective  Time  as  is  reasonably  practicable.   The  Mariner  Licensees
acknowledge that the ability of the Manager to make any such offer is contingent
upon the  employees  being  employable  under  state and  Federal law and may be
subject  to the  Proposed  SNH  Licensees'  and  the  Manager's  receipt  of all
licenses,   permits,   approvals,   authorizations,   provider  agreements,  and
certificates  and  determinations  of need as are necessary for the Proposed SNH

Medicare and Medicaid  reimbursement for the services provided therein, and that
in any event the Manager will first have to implement an appropriate  accounting
and payroll function. The Mariner Licensees further acknowledge that the Manager
may not hire all  such  employees  on the  same  date or at the same  time.  The
Mariner  Licensees  agree to cooperate with the Manager in connection  with such
offers of  employment  and to release any  personnel to whom the Manager  offers
employment from any employment agreements, non-competition, non-solicitation and
non-disclosure agreements or common law obligations relating to their employment
with the Mariner Licensees to which they may be a party or subject.

purchase,  in the name, and for the account, of the Proposed SNH Licensees,  all
necessary  supplies,  foodstuffs,  materials,  appliances,  tools, and equipment
customarily used in the operation of the Facilities. The Mariner Licensees shall
use  commercially  reasonable  efforts to limit purchasing costs and to maintain
such costs at a level  reasonably  calculated to allow the Facilities to operate
profitably.  The Mariner Licensees may, but shall not be obligated to, make such
purchases in bulk under a centralized  purchasing system established by them for
other facilities under their operation or management in order to minimize costs.
The Mariner Licensees shall arrange contracts for electricity,  gas,  telephone,
and any other utility or service  necessary to the operation of the  Facilities,
in each case in the name,  and for the account,  of the Proposed SNH  Licensees.
The Mariner  Licensees  shall, on their own behalf and/or on behalf of the owner
of the buildings and real  property in and on which the  Facilities  are located
(the  "Real  Property  Owner"),  contract  for and  supervise  the making of any
necessary  repairs,  alterations,  and improvements to the Facilities,  provided
that in the case of any repair,  alteration  or  improvement,  the cost of which
exceeds  $5,000,  the Mariner  Licensees  shall obtain the prior approval of the
Proposed  SNH  Licensee/Manager,  except  that no such prior  approval  shall be
required if the  expenditure is made under  circumstances  reasonably  requiring
emergency action. The Mariner Licensees shall prepare such  certifications as to
expenses incurred in the operation of the Facilities as may be required in order
to comply with applicable law and regulations,  including,  without  limitation,
law and regulations applicable to preparation and submission of cost reports.

         3.3 Bookkeeping.  The Mariner  Licensees shall establish and maintain a
record and bookkeeping system for the operation and conduct of the Facilities in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  Full books of account

reasonably  possible  after the close of each  calendar  month,  furnish  to the
Proposed  SNH  Licensee  and Manager a statement of income for the month and for

to the extent possible, in electronic format); (b) in the event the Proposed SNH
Licensee or Mariner  Licensee is required by applicable law,  regulations or the
provisions  of any  material  contract  to which it is a party or by which it is
bound or at such other time as the  Proposed  SNH  Licensees  may elect in their
reasonable  discretion,  to  conduct  an  audit  of  the  Facilities'  financial
performance,  make available all books and records of the Facilities on a timely
basis and cooperate fully with any auditors or accountants  selected by Proposed
SNH  Licensee;  (c) as soon as  reasonably  possible  after  the  close  of each
applicable  reporting period for rate setting  purposes,  and not later than the

categories  as, in the Mariner  Licensees'  judgment,  will tend to maintain the
financial  stability of the Facilities and to ensure  compliance with applicable
laws,  regulations,  orders and  judgments  applicable  to the  Facilities.  The
Mariner  Licensees  may design and  implement  programs with third party payors,
such as insurance companies,  federal agencies and state and local agencies, for
services to  patients on a contract  basis,  for the  purpose of  improving  the
financial stability of the Facilities.

defend all formal and informal  proceedings  before any and all local, state and
federal agencies which regulate the Facilities.  Each of the Mariner  Licensees,
the Proposed SNH Licensees and Manager shall  promptly  inform the others of the
commencement  of any such  proceedings  known to it  which  may have a  material
impact upon the operation of the  Facilities or which affect  reimbursement  for
services provided in or by the Facilities, including challenging any findings of
violations or the creation of a duty to correct.

         3.7  Insurance.   The  Mariner  Entities  shall  obtain  on  behalf  of
themselves, the Proposed SNH Licensees, the Manager and the Real Property Owners
for each Facility, as their interests may appear, all customary liability,  fire
and  extended  coverage,  professional  or  malpractice  liability  and worker's
compensation insurance covering the Facilities, any equipment used in connection
with the Facilities,  the Facilities'  employees,  and the Mariner Entities, the

Entities, the Proposed SNH Licensees, the Manager and the Real Property Owners.

         3.8  Technical  and  Professional  Services.  The Mariner  Entities may
secure such engineering, legal, and other specialized technical and professional
services as may be necessary to advise or to represent the Mariner Entities, the
Proposed  SNH  Licensees,  the  Manager  and the Real  Property  Owners for each
Facility,  in  connection  with  any  matter  involving  or  arising  out of the
operation of the Facilities or the conduct of the Facilities.

         3.9  Necessary  Licenses.  Upon  receipt by the  relevant  Proposed SNH

Effective Time.

                  (b) Collection of Accounts  Receivable.  The Mariner Licensees
acknowledge  that,  from and after the  Effective  Time,  (i) the  Proposed  SNH
Licensees  shall,  to the extent  permitted by applicable  law, own all accounts

Facilities from or after the Effective Time (the "Post-Effective A/R"), (ii) the
Mariner Licensees shall make and effect collections of all  Post-Effective  A/R,
(iii) the Mariner  Licensees  shall  establish  new bank  accounts (the "New A/R

upon by the Proposed SNH Licensees and the Mariner Licensees, and shall instruct
all Third  Party  Payors and other  Persons  (as such  terms are  defined in the
Settlement  Agreement)  that  directly  deposit  monies into the  existing  bank
accounts (the "Existing A/R Accounts")  with respect to the Retained  Facilities
to terminate  such direct deposit and commence  depositing  such monies into the
New A/R  Accounts  from and  after the date  that is sixty  (60) days  after the
Effective  Time  (the  "Account  Transfer  Time")  or as soon as is  practicable
thereafter  (and the Mariner  Licensees shall take such further action as may be
reasonably  necessary  to cause such  Third  Party  Payors and other  Persons to
comply with such instructions so that all  Post-Effective A/R are deposited into
the New A/R Accounts  from and after the Account  Transfer Time or as soon as is
practicable  thereafter),  (iv) the Mariner  Licensees shall continue to endorse

payment  for any  Post-Effective  A/R  with  respect  to any  Facility  into the
Existing A/R Accounts until the Account Transfer Time, (v) the Mariner Licensees
shall endorse and deposit all monies,  checks,  drafts or other  instruments  or
items received as payment for any  Post-Effective A/R from and after the Account
Transfer  Time  into  the New A/R  Accounts,  (vi)  within  five (5) days of the
applicable  Proposed SNH  Licensee's  request  therefor  (but no sooner than the
applicable SNH Licensing Date), the Mariner Licensees shall assign, set over and
transfer  the New A/R  Accounts to the  Proposed  SNH  Licensees,  and (vii) the
Mariner Licensees shall disburse all proceeds attributable to Post-Effective A/R
deposited  in the  Existing  A/R

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

Accounts or the New A/R  Accounts or  otherwise  received or held by the Mariner
Licensees to the Proposed SNH Licensees (or to such other Person as the Proposed
SNH Licensees may direct) within five (5) days of the Mariner Licensees' receipt
thereof.

         The SNH Entities and the Mariner  Licensees  acknowledge and agree that
(i) the Mariner  Licensees shall continue to own all accounts  receivable  which
relate to or arise out of services provided by or at the Facilities prior to the
Effective Time (the  "Pre-Effective  A/R"),  (ii) the Mariner Licensees shall be
entitled to retain all proceeds  attributable to Pre-Effective  A/R deposited in
the Existing A/R Accounts or the New A/R Accounts or otherwise  received or held

the Mariner  Licensees  (or to such other  Person as the Mariner  Licensees  may
direct) all such  Pre-Effective  A/R within five (5) days of the SNH  Licensees'
receipt thereof.

                  (c) Books and Records. During the term of this Agreement,  the
Mariner  Licensees  shall keep  accurate and  complete  books and records of all
receipts  with respect to all  billing,  accounts  receivable,  all deposits and
other transactions  whether to the Existing A/R Accounts,  the New A/R Accounts,
or to other checking  accounts,  which books and records shall be made available
to the SNH Licensees and the Manager upon request, and after termination of this
Agreement  shall make such  books and  records  available  to the  Proposed  SNH
Licensees  and the Manager to the extent  necessary  to enable the  Proposed SNH
Licensee  and the Manager to comply with all  applicable  laws and  regulations,
including  regulations governing preparation and submission of cost reports. The
Mariner  Licensees  shall  timely  prepare  and  file  any  cost  reports  which
applicable laws and regulations  require that they file after the termination of
this Agreement.

         3.11 Patient  Trust  Accounts.  At such time as a Proposed SNH Licensee
has received all Necessary Licenses with respect to a Facility and has given the
Mariner  Licensee  notice as provided in Section 3.9, the Mariner  Licensee will
transfer the patient  trust  accounts  held for the benefit of residents of such
Facility  to the  Proposed  SNH  Licensee,  together  with  all  records  and an
accounting regarding such accounts.

4. Fee.  The  Mariner  Licensees  shall  earn,  for  services  rendered  by them
hereunder, a servicer fee (the "Fee") on a  Facility-by-Facility  basis for each
calendar  month  during  the term of this  Agreement  in an amount  equal to the
lesser of (i) five  percent (5%) of net patient  revenues (as defined  below) of
such Facility for such month and (ii) an amount  calculated by  multiplying  (A)
the sum of the Designated Services  Percentages,  as specified in the Designated
Services  Schedule,  attributable to the Designated  Services being performed by
the  applicable  Mariner  Licensee  at such  Facility  for such month by (B) the
amount of net patient revenues of such Facility for such month.

         Until  the  Agreed  Deficiency  shall  have been  reduced  to zero (0),
payment of the Fee shall be made by  dollar-for-dollar  reduction of the Reduced
Deficiency   (as  such   term  is   defined   in  the   Settlement   Agreement).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4, in each of
the first  three (3) months of the term  hereof,  the Fee earned by the  Mariner
Licensees  hereunder  shall be not less than Four  Hundred  Thousand  ($400,000)
(regardless  of the amount of net patient  revenues at the  Facilities  for such
month or whether  the  Manager  shall have  elected to

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

discontinue the Mariner  Licensees'  provision of any services  specified herein
during such period).

         As used in this Agreement,  "net patient  revenues" shall mean, for any
period,  the aggregate  amount of all revenues  (determined  in accordance  with
generally accepted accounting principals, consistently applied), received by, or
by reason of the operation of, such Facility  during such period,  but excluding
(a) revenues from  professional  fees or charges by physicians and  unaffiliated
providers of ancillary  services to the extent such charges are paid over to, or
separately   billed  by,  such  physicians  and  unaffiliated   providers,   (b)
non-operating  revenues, (c) revenues attributable to services provided off-site
to  non-patients,  and (d) all  revenues,  if any,  attributable  to child  care
services provided  primarily to employees of such Facilities,  but in all events
excluding any revenues  generated for services  provided to patients referred by
any Mariner Entity.

5. Expenses.

         5.1  During  the  period  from and after  the  Effective  Time to,  but
excluding,  the date of termination of this  Agreement,  for each Facility,  the
Mariner Licensee shall provide the Proposed SNH Licensees and the Manager with a
weekly  statement of expenses of the type listed below to the extent incurred in
the  operation  and  management  of such  Facility  (the  "Expense  Statements")
accompanied by such  documentation  as the Proposed SNH Licensee and the Manager
shall reasonably request:

                  (a)  salary  and  expenses  (including,   without  limitation,
payroll taxes, workers'  compensation,  costs of employee benefit plans (or such
portion thereof as is properly allocable to such Facility),  travel,  insurance,
and  fidelity  bonds)  of  employees  at  such  Facility,   including,   without
limitation, administrative,  professional, custodial, food service, cleaning and
maintenance, operational, secretarial and bookkeeping personnel;

                  (b) all supplies and  equipment  necessary  and  desirable for
operation  of the such  Facility  as a skilled  nursing,  intermediate  care and
residential  facility;  food; fuel; kitchen and food service equipment;  linens;
beds; furniture; clothing and all other supplies and equipment used in supplying
services to patients;

                  (c) expenses connected directly or indirectly with the design,
acquisition,  disposition,  lease, occupancy, ownership or operation of real and
personal  property  devoted,  used or consumed in the business of such Facility,
including,  without  limitation,  maintenance,  repair,  and  improvement of the
Facilities,  and premiums,  deductibles and self-insured  retention amounts with
respect to insurance (including,  without limitation,  the insurance required to
be obtained  pursuant to Section 3.7 hereof  (except  that the premiums for such
insurance shall be allocated among the facilities  covered thereby on such basis
as the Mariner Licensees deem commercially appropriate based on their experience
in such matters and reasonable business judgment, including an assessment by the
Mariner Licensees of the differing risk profiles  associated with the facilities
and business of the Mariner  Licensees,  on the one hand, and the Facilities and
the business of the Proposed SNH Licensees, on the other)); and


                                      -8-
<PAGE>

                  (d) all other costs,  expenses and liabilities  arising out of
the operation, maintenance and management of the Facilities,  including, without
limitation,  fees of  professionals  engaged to fulfill the  Mariner  Licensees'
obligations  under  Section 3.6 and Section  3.8,  but  excluding  those  costs,
expenses  and  liabilities  arising  out of any such  Mariner  Licensee's  gross
negligence or willful misconduct.

         5.2 The following  expenses of the Mariner  Licensees  shall be for the
sole account of the Mariner  Licensees and shall not be subject to reimbursement
hereunder: (a) overhead and ordinary administrative expenses, salary (including,
without  limitation,  payroll taxes,  workers'  compensation,  costs of employee
benefit plans,  travel,  insurance and fidelity bonds) of financial,  accounting
and other  personnel  employed by the Mariner  Licensees to provide  centralized
billing,  collection,  bill  paying,  accounting,  record  keeping,  information
management,  purchasing, personnel and policy planning services to any Facility,
it being understood that in no event shall the salary of the  administrator of a
Facility be an expense of the Mariner  Licensees;  and (b) any losses,  cost and
expenses under Section 11(a).

         5.3 The Proposed SNH  Licensees  shall cause the Manager to establish a
bank  account  under its name and control and to deposit and  maintain a minimum
balance therein of $100,000.  The Mariner Licensees shall have signing authority
with respect to such account and weekly, upon approval of the Expense Statement,
the Manager  shall fund such account with an amount  sufficient  (over and above
the  minimum  balance) to fund and for the  purpose of paying the  expenses  set
forth in the Expense  Statement.  If any Mariner Licensee advances its own funds
for any approved  Expense  Statement  expense,  the Manager and the Proposed SNH
Licensees shall promptly reimburse such Mariner Licensee therefor.

         5.4 Each Proposed SNH Licensee of each Facility shall pay the Manager a
monthly management fee (the "Manager's Fee") for each Facility, payable prior to
the __ day following the end of each calendar month during the term hereof,  (i)
for the first two (2) months of the term hereof, in an amount equal to the costs
and expenses actually incurred by the Manager in connection with the performance
of its duties hereunder  during such calendar month, and (ii) thereafter,  in an
amount equal to 4.5% of net patient revenues for such Facility for such calendar
month.

6. Access to Records. For the time and to the extent required by applicable law,
including, without limitation, Section 1861(v)(1)(I) of the Social Security Act,
the Mariner Licensees shall retain, and shall permit the Comptroller  General of
the United States, the U.S.  Department of Health and Human Services,  and their
respective  duly   authorized   representatives,   and  duly  authorized   state
representatives,  access to  examine  or copy  this  Agreement  and such  books,
documents,  and  records as are  reasonably  necessary  to verify the nature and
extent of goods and  services  supplied  and the costs of the goods and services
supplied,  and the  payments  claimed  under  this  Agreement.  In the event any
Mariner Licensee provides any of its services under this Agreement pursuant to a
subcontract and if (i) the services  provided pursuant to the subcontract have a
value or cost of  $10,000 or more over a twelve  (12) month  period and (ii) the
subcontract is with a related  organization,  then such Mariner  Licensee agrees
that the  subcontract  shall  contain a clause  requiring the  subcontractor  to
retain  and allow  access to its  records on the same  terms and  conditions  as
required by such Mariner Licensee.

Fee, none of the Mariner  Licensees or any person,  firm or  corporation  which,
directly or indirectly owns or controls,  is owned or controlled by, or is under
direct or indirect common ownership or control with the Mariner Licensees or any
person  related by blood or marriage  within the third degree to persons in such
control  (an   "Affiliate"),   shall  receive  any   remuneration   (other  than
reimbursements and other payments expressly provided for herein), whether direct

Mariner  Licensees,  the Proposed SNH Licensees or the Manager,  and none of the
Mariner  Licensees or any of their Affiliates shall markup,  increase the price,
or obtain any premium for goods or services purchased by any Mariner Licensee on
behalf  of or for  the  benefit  of the  Mariner  Licensees,  the  Proposed  SNH
Licensees or the Manager.

8.  Relationship  of Parties.  No party to this  Agreement is a partner or joint
venturer  with any other party,  and nothing  herein shall be construed so as to
make  them  such  partners  or  joint  venturers  or  impose  on any of them any
liability as partners or joint venturers.

9. Term and Termination.

         9.1 The term of this Agreement shall commence at the Effective Time and

Facility(ies) which would be affected.

         9.2 From and after the effective  date of termination of this Agreement
in accordance  with Section 9.1, the Mariner  Licensees shall not be entitled to
compensation  for  further   services   hereunder  (and,  in  the  case  of  the
discontinuation  of services at a Facility in accordance  with Section 9.1, from
and after the effective date of such discontinuance, the Mariner Licensees shall
not be  entitled  to  compensation  for further  services  with  respect to such
Facility).  Upon termination or  discontinuance,  the relevant Mariner Licensees
shall forthwith:

asserted against any Mariner  Indemnitee and arising in connection with any act,
omission  or  obligation  of any SNH  Indemnitor  hereunder,  under the  Interim

<PAGE>

                           INTERIM OCCUPANCY AGREEMENT

         This Interim Occupancy  Agreement (this "Interim Occupancy  Agreement")
is made this ___ day of 2000,  between [insert name of applicable New Operator],
a Delaware  corporation  ("Sublessor"),  and [insert name of applicable  Mariner
Licensee], a Delaware corporation ("Sublessee").

                                   WITNESSETH

         WHEREAS,  SPTMNR  Properties  Trust, a Maryland real estate  investment
trust  ("SPTMNR"),  and Sublessor are parties to an Amended and Restated  Master
Lease  Agreement,  dated as of  ____________  ___,  ______ (the  "Lease"),  with
respect to the skilled  nursing  facility  known as "[insert  name of facility]"
(the "Facility"); and

         WHEREAS,  SPTMNR,  Sublessor,  Sublessee and various other parties have
entered into a Settlement  Agreement (the "Settlement  Agreement"),  pursuant to
which  Sublessee has agreed to manage the operation of the Facility on the terms
contained therein and in an Interim Management  Agreement,  dated as of the date
hereof (the "Interim  Management  Agreement"),  between Sublessor and Sublessee;
and

         WHEREAS, in order to accomplish the foregoing,  Sublessor has agreed to
sublease the Facility to Sublessee on the terms contained herein;

         NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and for other good and
valuable  consideration,  the  receipt  and  sufficiency  of  which  are  hereby
acknowledged by the parties hereto,  the parties hereto,  intending to be bound,
hereby agree as follows:

         1. Sublease.  Upon and subject to the terms and conditions  hereinafter
set forth,  Sublessor  subleases to  Sublessee,  and  Sublessee  subleases  from
Sublessor,  all of  Sublessor's  right,  title and  interest  in,  to,  under or
relating  to the  real  property,  improvements,  fixtures  and  related  rights
constituting  the  Facility  (the  "Demised   Premises"),   including,   without
limitation,  any leasehold rights of Sublessor  relating to the use or occupancy
thereto,  and  Sublessor  agrees that  Sublessee  has and will  continue to have
throughout the term of this Interim  Occupancy  Agreement,  the right to use and
occupy the Demised Premises as the licensed operator of the Facility.

         2. Term. The term of this Interim Occupancy Agreement shall commence on
the  date  hereof,  and  shall  end on the  earlier  of (i) the  date  on  which
Sublessee's  obligation to provide services in connection with the management of
the operation of the Facility under the Interim Management  Agreement shall have
expired  or been  terminated  pursuant  to the  terms  thereof  and (ii) the SNH
Licensing Date (as defined in the Interim Management  Agreement).  Sublessor and
Sublessee acknowledge that under the Interim Management Agreement, Sublessor may
terminate Sublessee's provision of one or more services thereunder,  and that if
Sublessor shall elect to do so, this Interim Occupancy Agreement shall remain in
effect  notwithstanding  such termination  until Sublessor shall have elected to
terminate  Sublessee's  provision of all services  under the Interim  Management
Agreement with respect to the Facility.
<PAGE>

         3.  Rent.  Sublessee  shall pay to  Sublessor  as the rent  under  this
Interim Occupancy Agreement (the "Rent"),  all net patient revenues derived from
the  operation  of the  Facility  during  the  term  of this  Interim  Occupancy
Agreement  to the extent such net patient  revenues  are  actually  collected by
Sublessee.  Except as expressly set forth in the preceding  sentence,  Sublessee
shall  have no  obligation  to pay any  amounts or perform  any  obligations  in
respect of this Interim Occupancy Agreement;  it being the purpose and intent of
Sublessor and Sublessee that this Interim  Occupancy  Agreement is a gross lease
and  that  except  for  the  payment  of  the  Rent,  all  costs,  fees,  taxes,
impositions,  utility  charges,  repairs,  alterations,  restorations,  charges,
expenses,  reimbursements  and  obligations of every kind and manner  whatsoever
relating to the Demised  Premises  which may arise or become due during or after
the term of this Interim  Occupancy  Agreement,  shall be paid and discharged by
Sublessor.

         4.  Surrender  of  Possession.  At the end of the term of this  Interim
Occupancy Agreement, Sublessee shall surrender the Facility to Sublessor and, if
Sublessee shall fail to do so, Sublessee shall be a tenant-at-sufferance subject
to all of the terms of this Interim  Occupancy  Agreement except that Rent shall
be twice the Rent in effect  immediately  prior to the expiration or termination
hereof.  Sublessee  shall be liable for all damages  incurred by  Sublessor as a
result of such holding over.

         5. No Subletting or  Assignment.  Sublessee  shall not sublet or assign
any or all of the Facility  without the prior  consent of  Sublessor;  provided,
however,  that the  foregoing  shall not be deemed to  prohibit  Sublessee  from
permitting  patients or residents to occupy the Facility in the ordinary  course
of Sublessee's business.

         6. Notices.  All notices  required or permitted  hereunder  shall be in
writing and shall be deemed to be properly  given when  personally  delivered to
the party  entitled to receive the notice or on the date of actual  receipt,  if
sent by  certified  or  registered  mail,  postage  prepaid  and return  receipt
requested,  or one  business  day  after  being  sent by  nationally  recognized
overnight courier service,  properly  addressed and postage prepaid to the party
entitled to receive such notice at the address stated below:

prior to the date hereof,  including the agreements and instruments  referred to
above (excluding the HRES1 Management  Agreements,  collectively,  the "Existing

on the financial and administrative  resources of the IHS Entities,  and the IHS
Entities have concluded that these burdens substantially outweigh any advantages
to be had by  continuing  to operate each such  Existing  Facility in accordance
with the Existing Documents; based on this conclusion, the IHS Entities propose,
among other things,  to cease operating and/or managing the Existing  Facilities
(except for the Pennsylvania  Facility and the HRES1 Mortgaged  Property located
at  Slidell,   Louisiana  (the  "Slidell  Facility"))  and  to  liquidate  their

                             APPROVAL OF TRANSACTION

         Within ten (10) Business Days following the execution of this Agreement
by all parties,  the IHS Entities  will file a motion with the Court,  in a form
acceptable to both the SNH Entities and the IHS Entities,  seeking  authority to
proceed with the  transactions  and other matters provided for in this Agreement
(the "Transaction  Approval Motion"),  together with a proposed form of order in
the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A (the "Approval Order").  The Approval Order
shall be in the form annexed hereto and shall include such additional provisions
as the SNH Entities and IHS Entities may mutually agree.

                                   ARTICLE 3

                   TRANSACTIONS TO OCCUR AT THE EFFECTIVE TIME

         3.1 Closing Date. The closing of the transactions  contemplated by this
Agreement (the "Closing")  shall occur on the second Business Day (said date, as
it may be extended pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, herein referred
to as the "Closing Date")  following the first day (which shall not in any event
be later than  sixty days from the date  hereof,  except as  expressly  provided
herein or unless  otherwise  agreed in writing by the SNH  Entities  and the IHS
Entities) on which (i) all of the  conditions set forth in Section 6.1 have been
satisfied  (or waived by the SNH Entities)  and (ii) all of the  conditions  set
forth in Section 6.2 have been  satisfied (or waived by the IHS  Entities).  The
Closing shall be effective at 12:01 A.M. (Boston time) (the "Effective Time") on
the day  following  the Closing  Date. In the event that on the Closing Date the
SNH Entities  shall have any  objections  or other grounds for refusing to close
this  transaction,  and if the SNH Entities shall be unwilling to waive the same
and to close this transaction  without  modification of the terms and provisions
hereof and without allowance of any kind, the IHS Entities shall have the right,
at the IHS Entities' sole election, either (a) use their reasonable,  good faith
efforts to remove,  remedy or comply with such  objections or other grounds,  or
(b) to cancel this Agreement. In the event of the IHS Entities' election to take
action to remove,  remedy or comply with such  objections or other grounds,  the
IHS Entities shall be entitled to one or more  adjournments  of the Closing Date
for one or more  periods not to exceed  thirty (30) days in the  aggregate,  and
such Closing Date shall be adjourned to a date specified by the IHS Entities not
beyond such thirty (30) day period,  provided the IHS  Entities  continue to use
their  reasonable,  good faith  efforts  during such  period.  If for any reason
whatsoever the IHS Entities  shall not have succeeded in removing,  remedying or
complying  with such  objections  or other  grounds  at the  expiration  of such
adjournments,  or at such time prior thereto as the IHS Entities  determine that
they will not be able to  satisfy  same,  the IHS  Entities  shall  give the SNH
Entities  written notice thereof and the SNH Entities may elect (within five (5)
Business Days of receipt of such written  notice),  by written notice to the IHS
Entities, to consummate this transaction without satisfaction of, and subject to
such objection or other grounds. If the SNH Entities shall still be unwilling to
waive the same and to close this transaction  without  modification of the terms
and provisions hereof and without allowance of any kind, this Agreement shall be
and be  deemed  to be  cancelled.  In the  event  of the  cancellation  of  this
Agreement  under any of the  circumstances  referred  to and as provided in this
Article,  this Agreement shall cease,  terminate and come to an end, and


                                      -10-

neither party hereto shall have any rights,  obligations or liabilities  against
or to the other  hereunder.  In no event shall the IHS  Entities be required to,

money or bring any action or proceeding or otherwise incur any costs or expenses
in order to cure any purported defect or objection or to fulfill any condition.

direct or consequential  damage for which any SNH Entity or the IHS Entity which

public  authority,  such IHS Entity shall permit the  appropriate  SNH Entity to
bring any suit in  connection  with  recovery  therefor  in the name of such IHS
Entity  or the  appropriate  SNH  Entity,  or both,  and  shall  deliver  to the
appropriate  SNH  Entity,  together  with  the deed to such  Facility,  all sums
received on account of any such taking or damages  and/or an  assignment  of all
the  owner's  rights to collect  damages  therefor.  The IHS Entity  which owns,
leases  or  manages  such  Facility  shall  execute  and  deliver  such  further

                                    RELEASES

         9.1 IHS Release.  Effective  at the  Effective  Time,  each IHS Entity,
hereby  releases and forever  discharges each SNH Entity,  and their  respective
successors,  assigns,  agents,  shareholders,  directors,  officers,  employees,
agents,  attorneys,  parent corporations,  subsidiary  corporations,  affiliated
corporations,  affiliates, and each of them (collectively, the "SNH Releasees"),
from  any and all  claims,  debts,  liabilities,  demands,  obligations,  costs,
expenses,  actions and causes of action, of every nature and description,  known
and  unknown,  whether or not  related  to the  subject  matter of the  Existing
Documents,  which any IHS Entity  now has or at any time may hold,  by reason of
any matter, cause or thing occurred,  done, omitted or suffered to be done on or
prior to the  Effective  Time;  provided  that this release shall not release or
otherwise affect or limit any claims, debts, liabilities,  demands, obligations,

Settlement  Document.  Each IHS Entity waives the benefits of any law, which may
provide in  substance:  "A general  release  does not extend to claims which the
creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing
the release,  which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement
with the debtor." Each IHS Entity  understands  that the facts which it believes
to be true at the time of making the release  provided for herein may later turn
out to be different than it now believes,  and that information which is not now
known or  suspected  may  later be  discovered.  Each IHS  Entity  accepts  this
possibility, and each IHS Entity assumes the risk of the facts turning out to be
different and new  information  being  discovered;  and each IHS Entity  further
agrees that the release provided for herein shall in all respects continue to be
effective  -- and not  subject  to  termination  or  rescission  because  of any
difference  in such facts or any new  information.  None of the IHS  Entities is
releasing  any  SNH  Entity  from  any  claims,  debts,  liabilities,   demands,
obligations,  costs,  expenses,  actions or causes of action except as expressly
provided herein or in any other Settlement  Document,  and the obligations under
the Settlement Documents are specifically  excluded from this release.  Each IHS
Entity  further  acknowledges  that,  from and after the Effective  Time, no SNH
Entity  has any  existing  commitments,  obligations  or  agreements  to advance
credits  or  loans,   or  to  lease   property,   or  make  financial  or  other
accommodations  to any IHS Entity,  except as may be  specifically  set forth in
this  Agreement  or the other  Settlement  Documents.  The IHS  Entities  hereby
represent,  warrant and  covenant,  jointly and  severally,  that the  foregoing
release and  discharge is given on behalf of and shall be  enforceable  against,
each of the IHS Releasees (as hereinafter defined).

         9.2 SNH  Release.  Effective  at the  Effective  Time,  each SNH Entity
hereby  releases and forever  discharges each IHS Entity,  and their  respective
successors,  assigns,  agents,  shareholders,  directors,  officers,  employees,
agents,  attorneys,  parent corporations,  subsidiary  corporations,  affiliated
corporations,  affiliates, and each of them (collectively, the "IHS Releasees"),
from  any and all  claims,  debts,  liabilities,  demands,  obligations,  costs,
expenses,  actions and causes of action, of every nature and description,  known
and  unknown,  whether or not  related  to the  subject  matter of the  Existing
Documents,  which any SNH Entity  now has or at any time may hold,  by reason of
any matter, cause or thing occurred,  done, omitted or suffered to be done prior
to the Effective Time; provided that this release shall not release or otherwise
affect or limit any claims, debts,  liabilities,  demands,  obligations,  costs,
expenses,  actions and causes of action  against  (i) any IHS Entity  under this
Agreement or any other Settlement Document or (ii) HealthSouth, Horizon or their
respective  affiliates (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2  promulgated under
the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934,  as amended).  Each SNH Entity waives the
benefits of any law, which may provide in substance: "A general release does not
extend to claims  which the  creditor  does not know or  suspect to exist in his
favor at the time of  executing  the  release,  which if known by him must  have
materially affected his settlement with the debtor." Each SNH Entity understands
that the facts  which it  believes  to be true at the time of making the release
provided for herein may later turn out to be different than it now believes, and
that  information  which is not now known or suspected may later be  discovered.
Each SNH Entity accepts this  possibility,  and each SNH Entity assumes the risk
of the facts turning out to be different and new information  being  discovered;
and each SNH Entity further agrees that the release provided for herein shall in
all  respects  continue to be  effective  -- and not subject to  termination  or
rescission because of any difference in such facts or any new information.  None
of the SNH  Entities  is  releasing  any IHS  Entity  from  any  claims,  debts,
liabilities,  demands, obligations, costs, expenses, actions or causes of action

                                      -23-

except as expressly provided herein or in any other Settlement  Document and the
obligations under the Settlement Documents are specifically  excluded.  Each SNH
Entity  further  acknowledges  that,  from and after the Effective  Time, no IHS
Entity  has any  existing  commitments,  obligations  or  agreements  to advance
credits  or  loans,   or  to  lease   property,   or  make  financial  or  other
accommodations  to any SNH Entity,  except as may be  specifically  set forth in
this  Agreement  or any  other  Settlement  Document.  The SNH  Entities  hereby
represent,  warrant and  covenant,  jointly and  severally,  that the  foregoing
release and  discharge is given on behalf of and shall be  enforceable  against,
each of the SNH Releasees.

         9.3 No Assignment. The SNH Entities and the IHS Entities each represent
and warrant to the others that they have not assigned or transferred  any of the
claims or other items which are the  subject of the  releases  set forth in this
Agreement or any Settlement Documents.

         2.3 Fixed Term. The initial term of this Lease (the "Fixed Term") shall
commence on the date hereof and, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the
terms and conditions of this Lease, shall expire on December 31, 2010.

         2.4 Extended  Terms.  Provided no Event of Default  shall have occurred
and be  continuing,  Tenant  shall  have the right to extend  the Fixed Term for
three additional periods of ten (10) years each (each, an "Extended Term").

         Each Extended Term shall  commence on the day succeeding the expiration
of the Fixed Term or the preceding  Extended Term, as the case may be, and shall
end on the day immediately  preceding the tenth  anniversary of the commencement
of such Extended Term. All of the terms,  covenants and provisions of this Lease
shall apply to each such Extended Term, except that (a) the Minimum Rent for the
first year of each  Extended  Term shall be the greater of (x) the Minimum  Rent
payable  during the last year of the Fixed Term (for the first Extended Term) or

later than one (1) year prior to the expiration of the then current term of this
Lease (Fixed or Extended,  as applicable);  it being  understood and agreed that
time is of the  essence  with  respect to the giving of such  notice.  If Tenant
shall fail to give any such notice, this Lease shall automatically  terminate at
the end of the term then in effect  and Tenant  shall have no further  option to
extend the term of this Lease.  If Tenant shall give such notice,  the extension
of this Lease shall be  automatically  effected,  without the  execution  of any
additional documents.

                                      RENT

                  3.1.1  Minimum  Rent.  Tenant  shall pay Minimum Rent in equal
monthly  installments,  in advance,  on the first day of each and every calendar
month during the Term; provided that,  notwithstanding the foregoing,  the first

                           (A)  Impositions.  Subject to Article 8, Tenant shall
                  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  shall  promptly,  upon  request,   furnish  to
                  Landlord  copies of official  receipts  or other  satisfactory
                  proof evidencing such payments. 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),  Tenant 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 as the  same  become  due,  and
                  before any fine,  penalty,  premium,  further interest or cost
                  may be added thereto.  Landlord, at its expense, shall, to the
                  extent  required or permitted by applicable  law,  prepare and
                  file all tax  returns  in respect of  Landlord's  net  income,
                  gross receipts,  sales and use, single  business,  transaction
                  privilege,  rent, ad valorem, franchise taxes and taxes on its
                  capital  stock,  and Tenant,  at its  expense,  shall,  to the
                  extent   required  or   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 Tenant,
                  the same  shall be paid  over to or  retained  by Tenant if no
                  Event  of  Default  shall  have  occurred  and be  continuing.
                  Landlord and Tenant 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,  Tenant  shall file all  personal
                  property  tax  returns  in  such  jurisdictions  where  it may
                  legally so file.  Each party shall, to the extent it possesses
                  the same,  provide  the  other,  upon  request,  with cost and
                  depreciation  records  necessary  for filing  returns  for any
                  property so classified as personal property. Where Landlord is
                  legally  required  to  file  personal  property  tax  returns,
                  Landlord  shall  provide  Tenant  with  copies  of  assessment
                  notices in sufficient  time for Tenant to file a protest.  All
                  Impositions  assessed against such personal  property shall be
                  (irrespective  of whether  Landlord  or Tenant  shall file the
                  relevant  return)  paid by Tenant not later than  thirty  (30)
                  days  prior  to the last  date on  which  the same may be made
                  without interest or penalty.

                           Landlord  shall give prompt  written notice to Tenant
                  of all  Impositions  payable  by  Tenant  hereunder  of  which
                  Landlord  at  any  time  has  knowledge;   provided,  however,
                  Landlord's  failure  to give any such  notice  shall in no way
                  diminish   Tenant's   obligation   hereunder   to   pay   such
                  Impositions.

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

                           (B) Utility Charges.  Tenant shall pay or cause to be
                  paid all charges for electricity,  power,  gas, oil, water and
                  other utilities used at the Leased Property during the Term.

<PAGE>

                           (C) Insurance Premiums.  Tenant shall pay or cause to
                  be paid all premiums for the insurance coverage required to be
                  maintained pursuant to Article 9.

                           (D) Other  Charges.  Tenant  shall pay or cause to be
                  paid all other  amounts,  liabilities  and  obligations  which
                  Tenant assumes or agrees to pay under this Lease.

         3.2 Late  Payment  of  Rent.  If any  installment  of  Minimum  Rent or
Additional Rent (but only as to those items of Additional Rent which are payable
directly to Landlord) shall not be paid when due, Tenant shall pay Landlord,  on
demand,  as  Additional  Rent,  a late charge (to the extent  permitted  by law)
computed,  during  the first ten (10) days such  payment  is  delinquent  at the
greater of the Base Rate and eleven and one-half  percent (11.5%) per annum and,
thereafter, at the Overdue Rate on the amount of such installment, from the date
such installment was due until the date paid. To the extent that Tenant pays any
Additional Rent directly to Landlord  pursuant to any requirement of this Lease,
Tenant shall be relieved of its  obligation to pay such  Additional  Rent to the
entity to which they would otherwise be due.

         In the event of any failure by Tenant to pay any  Additional  Rent when
due, Tenant shall promptly pay and discharge,  as Additional  Rent,  every fine,
penalty, interest and cost which may be added for non-payment or late payment of
such items.  Landlord shall have all legal,  equitable and  contractual  rights,
powers and remedies  provided either in this Lease or by statute or otherwise in
the case of non-payment of the Additional  Rent as in the case of non-payment of
the Minimum Rent.

         3.3 Net Lease.  The Rent shall be absolutely  net to Landlord,  so that
this Lease  shall  yield to  Landlord  the full  amount of the  installments  of
Minimum  Rent and  Additional  Rent  throughout  the Term,  subject to any other
provisions of this Lease which expressly  provide for adjustment or abatement of
Rent or other charges.

         3.4 No Termination,  Abatement,  Etc. Except as otherwise  specifically
provided in this Lease,  Tenant,  to the maximum extent  permitted by law, shall
remain bound by this Lease in  accordance  with its terms and shall neither take
any action without the consent of Landlord to modify, surrender or terminate the
same,  nor seek,  nor I be entitled to any  abatement,  deduction,  deferment or
reduction of the Rent,  or set-off  against the Rent,  nor shall the  respective
obligations  of Landlord and Tenant 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 Condemnation;  (b) the lawful or unlawful  prohibition of,
or restriction upon Tenant's use of the Leased Property, or any portion thereof,
or the  interference  with such use by any  Person or by reason of  eviction  by
paramount  title; (c) any claim which Tenant may have against Landlord by reason
of  any  Landlord  Default;  (d)  any  bankruptcy,  insolvency,  reorganization,
composition,  readjustment,   liquidation,  dissolution,  winding  up  or  other
proceedings affecting Landlord or any assignee or transferee of Landlord; or (e)
for any other  cause  whether  similar or  dissimilar  to any of the  foregoing.
Tenant hereby waives all rights  arising from any occurrence  whatsoever,  which
may now or  hereafter  be  conferred  upon  it by law to  modify,  surrender  or
terminate  this Lease or quit or  surrender  the Leased  Property or any portion
thereof or which may entitle Tenant to any abatement,  reduction,  suspension or
deferment of the Rent or other sums payable or other


                                      -15-

obligations   to  be  performed  by  Tenant   hereunder,   except  as  otherwise
specifically  provided in this Lease.  The  obligations  of Landlord  and Tenant
hereunder  shall be separate and  independent  covenants and  agreements and the

in all  events  unless  the  obligations  to pay the same  shall  be  terminated
pursuant to the express provisions of this Lease.

                  4.1.1 Primary  Intended  Use.  Tenant shall use or cause to be
used the Leased  Property as a nursing  home or subacute  facility  and/or other
facility  offering any higher level health care services and for such other uses
as may be  necessary or  incidental  thereto  (the  particular  use to which the
Leased  Property is put at any  particular  time, its "Primary  Intended  Use").
Tenant shall not use the Leased  Property or any portion  thereof for other than
its Primary  Intended Use without the prior written  consent of Landlord,  which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed;  provided,  however, that
such  consent  shall  not be  deemed  to be  unreasonably  withheld  if,  in the
reasonable opinion of Landlord,  the proposed use will  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 Tenant to comply with this
Lease.  No use shall be made or permitted to be made of the Leased  Property and
no acts shall be done thereon which will cause the cancellation of any insurance
policy covering the Leased  Property or any part thereof,  nor shall Tenant sell
or otherwise  provide to residents  or patients  therein,  or permit to be kept,
used or sold in or about  the  Leased  Property,  or any  portion  thereof,  any
article which may be prohibited by law or by the standard form of fire insurance
policies,  or any other insurance policies required to be carried hereunder,  or
fire underwriter's regulations.

                  4.1.2 Necessary  Approvals.  Tenant shall proceed with all due
diligence  and  exercise  best  efforts to obtain  and  maintain  all  approvals
necessary  to use and  operate  the Leased  Property  and the  Facility  for the
Primary Intended Use under applicable local,  state and federal law and, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall use its best efforts to maintain
appropriate certifications for reimbursement licensure.

                  4.1.3 No Actions  Impairing Value, Etc. Tenant shall not take,
or omit to take,  any action,  the taking or  omission  of which may  materially
impair  the value or the  usefulness  of the  Leased  Property  for the  Primary
Intended Use.

                  4.1.4  Lawful  Use,  Etc.  Tenant  shall  not use or suffer or
permit the use of the Leased  Property  and Tenant's  Personal  Property for any
unlawful purpose. Tenant shall not commit or suffer to be committed any waste on
the  Leased  Property  or the  Facility,  nor shall  Tenant  cause or permit any
nuisance  thereon or therein.  Tenant shall neither suffer nor permit the Leased
Property or any portion thereof,  including any Capital Addition, whether or not
financed by Landlord, or Tenant's Personal Property, to be used in such a manner
as might reasonably tend to impair Landlord's (or Tenant's,  as the case may be)
title thereto or to any


                                      -16-

portion thereof,  or may reasonably make possible any claim for adverse usage or
adverse  possession  by the public,  as such,  or of implied  dedication  of the
Leased Property or any portion thereof.

permits,  provider agreements and other  authorizations  required for any use of
the Leased Property and Tenant's  Personal Property then being made, and for the
proper erection, installation,  operation and maintenance of the Leased Property
or any part thereof, including, without limitation, any Capital Additions.

         4.3 Compliance with Medicaid and Medicare  Requirements.  Tenant shall,
at its sole cost and expense,  make whatever  improvements (capital or ordinary)
as are required to conform the Leased  Property to such  standards as may,  from
time to time, be required by Federal  Medicare (Title 18) or Medicaid (Title 19)
skilled and/or intermediate care nursing programs,  if applicable,  or any other
applicable  programs or  legislation,  or capital  improvements  required by any
other  governmental  agency having  jurisdiction  over the Leased  Property as a
condition  of the  continued  operation  of the Leased  Property for the Primary
Intended Use.

         4.4 Environmental Matters.  Tenant shall not store, spill upon, dispose
of or transfer to or from the Leased  Property any Hazardous  Substance,  except
that  Tenant  may  store,  transfer  and  dispose  of  Hazardous  Substances  in
compliance  with all  Environmental  Laws.  Tenant  shall  maintain  the  Leased
Property at all times free of any  Hazardous  Substance  (except such  Hazardous
Substances as are maintained in compliance with all Environmental  Laws). Tenant
shall  promptly:  (a) notify  Landlord in writing of any change in the nature or
extent of such Hazardous Substances maintained,  (b) transmit to Landlord a copy
of any report which is required to be filed with respect to the Leased  Property
pursuant to any  Environmental  Law,  (c)  transmit  to  Landlord  copies of any

Laws relating to the use,  maintenance and disposal of Hazardous  Substances and
all  orders or  directives  from any  officials  court or  agency  of  competent

treatment,  containment or other disposition  thereof,  and (e) pay or otherwise
dispose of any fine, charge or Imposition  related thereto,  unless Tenant shall
contest the same in accordance with Article 8.

         If at any  time  prior  to the  termination  of this  Lease,  Hazardous
Substances are discovered on the Leased  Property,  Tenant hereby agrees to take
all actions,  and to incur any and all expenses,  as may be reasonably necessary
and as may be  required  by any  municipal,  State or  Federal  agency  or other
governmental entity or agency having jurisdiction  thereof,  (a) to clean up and

to contain,  and prevent any further  release or threat of release of  Hazardous
Substances  on or about the Leased  Property  and (c) to  eliminate  any further
release  or threat of  release of  Hazardous  Substances  on or about the Leased
Property.

         Tenant shall  indemnify  and hold  harmless  Landlord and each Facility
Mortgagee  from and  against  all  liabilities,  obligations,  claims,  damages,
penalties,  costs  and  expenses  (including,  without  limitation,   reasonable
attorney's fees and expenses) imposed upon,  incurred by or asserted against any
of them by reason of any failure by Tenant or any Person  claiming  under Tenant
to perform or comply with any of the terms of this Section 4.4.

                                   ARTICLE 5

                          MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS, ETC.

         5.1 Maintenance and Repair.

                  5.1.1 Tenant's Obligations. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and
expense, keep the Leased Property and all private roadways,  sidewalks and curbs
appurtenant  thereto (and Tenant's Personal  Property) in good order and repair,
reasonable  wear and tear  excepted  (whether  or not the need for such  repairs
occurs as a result of Tenant's  use,  any prior use,  the elements or the age of
the Leased Property or Tenant's Personal Property, or any portion thereof),  and
shall  promptly  make all  necessary and  appropriate  repairs and  replacements
thereto of every kind and nature,  whether  interior or exterior,  structural or
nonstructural,  ordinary or extraordinary,  foreseen or unforeseen or arising by
reason of a condition  existing prior to the commencement of the Term (concealed
or  otherwise).  All  repairs  shall be at least  equivalent  in  quality to the
original work.

                  5.1.2  Landlord's  Obligations.  Landlord shall not, under any
circumstances,  be required to build or rebuild  any  improvement  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 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 in any way,  except as  specifically
provided herein. Tenant hereby waives, to the extent permitted by law, the right
to make repairs at the expense of Landlord  pursuant to any law in effect at the
time of the execution of this Lease or hereafter  enacted.  Landlord  shall have
the right to give, record and post, as appropriate, notices of nonresponsibility
under any mechanic's lien laws now or hereafter existing.

         5.2 Capital  Expenditure Cost Sharing.  Replacement of or major repairs
to all  structural or mechanical  systems shall be undertaken by Tenant,  at its
sole cost and  expense in the  exercise  of its  reasonable  business  judgment,
pursuant to and in accordance with plans and specifications  approved in advance
by Landlord;  provided,  however,  that if the useful life of any improvement or
repair for which a Capital Expenditure is made extends beyond the termination of
the Term (other than any early  termination  resulting from the occurrence of an
Event of Default),  provided Tenant shall have obtained Landlord's prior written
consent  with respect to the making  thereof,  the cost of such  replacement  or
repair shall be apportioned  between  Landlord and Tenant so that Landlord shall
pay for that portion of the useful life of such item  occurring on or after such
termination  date.  Landlord  shall have no obligation  to reimburse  Tenant for
Landlord's share of the cost of such replacement or repair until the date of the
termination of this Lease.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  Landlord  agrees to
make any such payment to Tenant  within sixty (60) days after  Tenant's  written
request therefor.



                                      -18-

         5.3  Tenant's  Personal  Property.  Tenant may (and  shall as  provided
hereinbelow), at its expense, install, affix or assemble or place on any parcels
of the Land or in any of the Leased Improvements, any items of Tenant's Personal
Property,  and Tenant may, subject to the conditions set forth below, remove the
same upon the expiration or sooner termination of the Term. Tenant shall provide
and maintain during the entire Term all such Tenant's Personal Property as shall
be necessary in order to operate the Facility in  compliance  with all licensure
and  certification  requirements,  applicable  Legal  Requirements and Insurance
Requirements and otherwise in accordance with customary practice in the industry
for the Primary Intended Use. All of Tenant's  Personal  Property not removed by
Tenant on or prior to 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 the necessity of first giving notice
thereof to Tenant,  without any payment to Tenant and without any  obligation to
account therefor.  Tenant shall, at its expense,  restore the Leased Property to
the  condition  required by Section 5.4,  including  repair of all damage to the
Leased Property  caused by the removal of Tenant's  Personal  Property,  whether
effected by Tenant or Landlord.

         If Tenant uses any item of tangible personal property (other than motor
vehicles) on, or in connection with, the Leased Property which belongs to anyone
other than Tenant,  Tenant  shall use its best efforts to require the  agreement
permitting such use to provide that Landlord or its designee may assume Tenant's
rights under such agreement  upon  management of the Facility by Landlord or its
designee.

         5.4 Yield Up. Upon the expiration or sooner  termination of this Lease,
Tenant  shall  vacate and  surrender  the Leased  Property  to  Landlord  in the
condition in which the Leased Property was on the Commencement  Date,  except as
repaired, rebuilt, restored, altered or added to as permitted or required by the
provisions of this Lease, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

         In addition,  upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease,
Tenant shall, at Landlord's reasonable cost and expense, use its best efforts to
transfer to and cooperate with Landlord or Landlord's nominee in connection with
the processing of all  applications  for licenses,  operating  permits and other
governmental  authorizations  and  all  contracts,   including,  contracts  with
governmental  or  quasi-governmental  entities,  which may be necessary  for the
operation of the Facility.  If requested by Landlord,  Tenant shall  continue to
manage  the  Facility  after  the  termination  of  this  Lease  and for so long
thereafter as is necessary to obtain all necessary  licenses,  operating permits
and other  governmental  authorizations,  on such reasonable  terms (which shall
include an agreement to reimburse Tenant for its reasonable  out-of-pocket costs
and expenses and reasonable administrative costs) as Landlord shall request.

         5.5 Encroachments, Restrictions, Etc. 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  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,  upon the
request  of  Landlord  or of  any  person  affected  by any  such  encroachment,
violation or impairment,  Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, subject to
its right to contest the existence of any encroachment,  violation or impairment
and in such case,  in the event of an adverse  final  determination,  either (a)
obtain,  in form and  substance  satisfactory  to Landlord,  valid and


                                      -19-
<PAGE>

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,  or (b), subject to Landlord's  approval (which
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed),  make such changes in the Leased
Improvements and take such other actions,  as Tenant, in the good faith exercise
of its judgment, deems reasonably practicable, to remove such encroachment,  and
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  ensure  the  continued  operation  of  the  Leased
Improvements for the Primary Intended Use substantially in the manner and to the
extent the Leased  Improvements  were  operated  prior to the  assertion of such
violation,  impairment or  encroachment.  Any such  alteration  shall be made in
conformity  with  the  applicable  requirements  of  this  Article  5.  Tenant's
obligations  under this  Section 5.5 shall be in addition to and shall in no way
discharge or diminish any obligation of any insurer under any policy of title or
other  insurance and Tenant shall be entitled to a credit for any sums recovered
by Landlord under any such policy of title or other insurance.

                                   ARTICLE 6

                             CAPITAL ADDITIONS, ETC.

         6.1 Construction of Capital Additions to the Leased Property.  Provided
no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Tenant shall have the
right,  subject to obtaining  Landlord's  prior written  consent  (which consent
shall not be  unreasonably  withheld or delayed),  upon and subject to the terms
and conditions set forth below, to construct or install Capital Additions on the
Leased  Property.  Landlord's  consent  shall not be  deemed to be  unreasonably
withheld if such Capital  Addition  will  significantly  alter the  character or
purpose   or   detract   from  the  value  or   operating   efficiency   or  the
revenue-producing  capability of the Leased  Property,  or adversely  affect the
ability of Tenant to comply with this Lease. Any withholding of consent shall be
express and shall be effected  within thirty (30) days after receipt by Landlord
of such documents or information as Landlord may reasonably  require,  notice of
which  requirements  shall be sent to  Tenant  within  thirty  (30)  days  after
Tenant's  request.  Failure to give notice of the  withholding  of such  consent
within such thirty (30) day period shall be deemed approval. Prior to commencing
construction  of any Capital  Addition,  Tenant  shall  submit to  Landlord,  in
writing,  a proposal  setting forth, in reasonable  detail any proposed  Capital
Addition and shall provide Landlord with such plans and specifications, permits,
licenses,  contracts  and other  information  concerning  the  proposed  Capital
Addition as Landlord may reasonably request.  Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing,  such proposal 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 Net Patient  Revenues that
Tenant  anticipates will result from such Capital Addition.  Prior to commencing
construction  of any Capital  Addition,  Tenant  shall  request in writing  that
Landlord provide funds to pay for such Capital  Addition.  If, within sixty (60)
days after  receipt of such  request,  Landlord  shall not elect to provide such
financing on terms  reasonably  acceptable to Tenant (and,  for purposes of this
Section 6.1, the failure of Landlord to respond  within such 60 day period shall
be deemed an election not to provide such  funding),  the  provisions of Section
6.2 shall apply.  Landlord's  notice of its  election to provide such  financing
shall set forth the terms and conditions of such proposed  financing,  including
the terms of any  amendment to this Lease  (including,  without  limitation,  an
increase  in  Minimum  Rent to  compensate  Landlord  for the  additional  funds
advanced). In no event shall the


                                      -20-
<PAGE>

portion of the  projected  Capital  Additions  Cost  comprised of land,  if any,
materials,  labor charges and fixtures be less than eighty  percent (80%) of the
total amount of such cost.  Tenant may withdraw its request by written notice to
Landlord at any time before Tenant's written  acceptance of Landlord's terms and
conditions.  If Landlord declines to finance a Capital Addition or if Landlord's
proposed  financing  terms are  unacceptable  to Tenant,  Tenant may solicit and
negotiate a commitment for such financing from another Person, provided Landlord
shall approve all the terms and  conditions of such  financing  (which  approval
shall not be  unreasonably  withheld or delayed).  If Landlord shall finance the
proposed Capital Addition, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, all
reasonable  costs and  expenses  paid or incurred  by  Landlord  and any Lending
Institution  which has committed to provide  financing for such Capital Addition
to  Landlord in  connection  therewith,  including,  but not limited to, (a) the
reasonable  attorneys,  fees and expenses,  (b) all printing  expenses,  (c) all
filing,  registration and recording taxes and fees, (d) documentary stamp taxes,
(e) title  insurance  charges,  appraisal  fees, and rating agency fees, and (f)
commitment fees.

         No Capital  Addition  shall be made which  would tie in or connect  any
Leased  Improvement  or any  Leased  Property  with any  other  improvements  on
property  adjacent to such Leased Property (and not part of the Land) including,
without  limitation,  tie-ins of buildings  or other  structures  or  utilities,
unless Tenant shall have obtained the prior written approval of Landlord,  which
approval may be withheld by Landlord in Landlord's sole discretion.  Any Capital
Additions shall, upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, become
the property of  Landlord,  free and clear of all  encumbrances,  subject to the
provisions of Section 6.2.

         6.2  Capital  Additions  Financed by Tenant.  Provided  that Tenant has
obtained the prior written  consent of Landlord in each instance (which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), Tenant may arrange for financing
for Capital Additions from third party lenders;  provided however,  that (i) the
terms  and  conditions  of any such  financing  shall be  subject  to the  prior
approval of Landlord and (ii) any security  interests in any property of Tenant,
including, without limitation, the Leased Property, shall be expressly and fully
subordinated  to this  Lease  and to the  interest  of  Landlord  in the  Leased
Property  and to the  rights of any  Facility  Mortgagee.  If,  pursuant  to the
provisions of this Lease,  Tenant provides or arranges financing with respect to
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
         (but if this Lease is terminated by reason of an Event of Default, only
         after  Landlord  is  fully   compensated  for  all  damages   resulting
         therefrom),  Landlord shall compensate Tenant for all Capital Additions
         financed  by  Tenant  in  any  of  the  following  ways  determined  in
         Landlord's sole discretion:

         (i)      By purchasing  such Capital  Additions from Tenant for cash in
                  the amount of the then Fair Market Added Value of such Capital
                  Additions;



                                      -21-
<PAGE>

         (ii)     By purchasing such Capital Additions from Tenant by delivering
                  to Tenant  Landlord's  purchase money  promissory  note in the
                  amount of the Fair Market Added Value, which note shall be due
                  and payable as to both  principal  and  interest on the second
                  anniversary   of  the  making   thereof,   shall  be  on  then
                  commercially  reasonable  terms  and  shall  be  secured  by a
                  mortgage on the Leased  Property  and such  Capital  Additions
                  subject to all  existing  mortgages  and  encumbrances  on the
                  Leased Property and such Capital Additions at the time of such
                  purchase;

         (iii)    By assigning to Tenant the right to receive an amount equal to
                  the Added Value  Percentage  (determined as of the date of the
                  expiration or earlier  termination  of this Lease) of all rent
                  and  other  consideration  receivable  by  Landlord  under any
                  re-letting  or other  disposition  of the Leased  Property and
                  such Capital  Additions,  after  deducting  from such rent all
                  costs and  expenses  incurred by Landlord in  connection  with
                  such  re-letting or other  disposition of the Leased  Property
                  and such  Capital  Additions  and all  costs and  expenses  of
                  operating and maintaining the Leased Property and such Capital
                  Additions  during the term of any such new lease which are not
                  borne by the tenant  thereunder,  with the  provisions of this
                  Section  6.2(c) to  remain  in effect  until the sale or other
                  final  disposition  of the Leased  Property  and such  Capital
                  Additions,  at which time the Fair Market  Added Value of such
                  Capital  Addition shall be immediately  due and payable,  such
                  obligation to be secured by a mortgage on the Leased  Property
                  and such Capital Additions,  subject to all existing mortgages
                  and  encumbrances  on the Leased  Property at the time of such
                  purchase and assignment; or

         (iv)     By making such other  arrangement  regarding such compensation
                  as shall be mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant.

         6.3 Information  Regarding Capital Additions.  Regardless of the source
of financing of any proposed  Capital  Addition,  Tenant shall provide  Landlord
with such information as Landlord may from time to time reasonably  request with
respect to such Capital Addition, including, without limitation, the following:

                  (a)  Evidence  that such  Capital  Addition  will be, and upon
         completion  has  been,  completed  in  compliance  with the  applicable
         requirements   of  State  and  federal  law  with  respect  to  capital
         expenditures for nursing facilities;

                  (b) Upon  completion of such Capital  Addition,  a copy of the
         certificate of occupancy for the Facility updated, if required;

         Addition   exceeds  the  Fair  Market  Value   thereof   prior  to  the
         commencement of such Capital Addition by an amount not less than 80% of
         the Capital Additions Cost; and

sole cost and expense,  to make additions,  modifications or improvements to the
Leased Property which are not Capital Additions  ("Non-capital  Additions") from

Primary  Intended Use,  provided  that such action will not adversely  alter the
character  or  purpose  or  detract  from the  value,  operating  efficiency  or
revenue-producing  capability of the Leased  Property,  or adversely  affect the
ability  of  Tenant  to  comply  with the  provisions  of this  Lease.  All such

         6.5 Salvage.  All materials which are scrapped or removed in connection
with the making of either  Capital  Additions  or repairs  required by Article 5

                                   ARTICLE 7

                                      LIENS

         7.1  Liens.  Subject  to  Article 8,  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 the Leased  Property  or any  attachment,  levy,  claim or  encumbrance  in
respect of the Rent, other than (a) this Lease, (b) the Permitted  Encumbrances,
(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 required
to pay  hereunder,  (e)  subleases  permitted  by  Article  17,  (f)  liens  for
Impositions or for sums resulting from  noncompliance with Legal Requirements so
long as (i) the same are not yet  payable,  or (ii) are payable  without fine or
penalty and such liens are being  contested  in  accordance  with Article 8, (g)
liens of  mechanics,  laborers,  material  men,  suppliers  or vendors  for sums
disputed,  provided  that (i) the  payment of such sums  shall not be  postponed
under any related contract for more than sixty (60) days after the completion of
the  action  giving  rise to such  lien and a  reserve  or  another  appropriate
provision  as  shall  be  required  by  law  or  generally  accepted  accounting
principles  shall  have been made  therefor,  and (ii) any such  liens are being
contested  in  accordance  with  Article  8,  and (h) any  liens  which  are the
responsibility of Landlord pursuant to Article 21.

         7.2 Landlord's  Lien. In addition to any statutory  landlord's lien and
in order to secure  payment of the Rent and all other sums payable  hereunder by
Tenant,  and to secure  payment of any lose,  cost or damage which  Landlord may
suffer by reason of Tenant's  breach of this Lease,  Tenant  hereby  grants unto
Landlord a security  interest in and an express  contractual  lien upon Tenant's
Personal  Property (except motor vehicles sold from time to time in the ordinary
course of Tenant's operations), and all ledger sheets, files, records, documents
and instruments  (including,  without limitation,  computer programs,  tapes and
related  electronic data  processing)  relating to the operation of the Facility
(collectively,  the "Records") and all proceeds therefrom; and Tenant's Personal
Property  shall not be removed from the Leased  Property  without the Landlord's
prior written consent, unless no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing.

         Upon Landlord's  request,  Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord
security  agreements and financing  statements in form sufficient to perfect the
security  interests of Landlord in Tenant's  Personal  Property and the proceeds
thereof in accordance  with the provisions of the  applicable  laws of the State
and otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.  Tenant
hereby grants Landlord an irrevocable limited power of attorney, coupled with an
interest,  to execute all such financing  statements in Tenant's name, place and
stead. The security interest herein granted is in addition to any statutory lien
for the Rent.

         Landlord  agrees,  at Tenant's  request,  to execute such  documents as
Tenant may reasonably  require to subordinate the lien granted  pursuant to this
Section 7.2 in Tenant's


                                      -24-
<PAGE>

Personal  Property  (but not the  Records)  to the lien of any Person  providing
purchase money financing with respect thereto.

         7.3  Mechanic's  Liens.  Except as  permitted  with  respect to Capital
Additions, nothing contained in this Lease and no action or inaction by Landlord
shall be  construed  as (a)  constituting  the  consent or request of  Landlord,
expressed or implied, to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer, material man or
vendor to or for the  performance  of any labor or services or the furnishing of
any  materials or other  property for the  construction,  alteration,  addition,
repair or  demolition of or to the Leased  Property or any part thereof,  or (b)
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  fashion  as would  permit  the  making of any  claim  against
Landlord 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 Leased Property, or any portion thereof.

                                   ARTICLE 8

                               PERMITTED CONTESTS

         Tenant  shall have the right to contest  the amount or  validity of any
Imposition,  Legal Requirement,  Insurance Requirement,  lien, attachment, levy,
encumbrance,  charge  or claim  (collectively  "Claims")  by  appropriate  legal
proceedings  conducted in good faith and with due  diligence,  provided that (a)
the foregoing shall in no way be construed as relieving,  modifying or extending
Tenant's obligation to pay any Claims as finally determined or prior to the time
the Leased Property may be sold in satisfaction  thereof, (b) such contest shall
not cause  Landlord  or Tenant to be in default  under any  mortgage  or deed of
trust  encumbering the Leased  Property or any interest  therein or result in or
reasonably be expected to result in a lien attaching to the Leased Property, and
(c) Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and against any cost,
claim,  damage,  penalty  or  expense,  including  reasonable  attorneys'  fees,
incurred  by Landlord  in  connection  therewith  or as a result  thereof.  Upon
Landlord's  request,  Tenant shall either (a) provide a bond or other  assurance
reasonably  satisfactory  to  Landlord  that all  Claims  which may be  assessed
against the Leased  Property,  together with all interest and penalties  thereon
will be paid, or (b) deposit within the time otherwise required for payment with
a bank or trust company, as trustee, as security for the payment of such Claims,
an amount  sufficient  to pay the same,  together with interest and penalties in
connection  therewith  and all Claims which may be assessed  against or become a
Claim against the Leased Property,  or any part thereof,  in connection with any
such contest.  Tenant shall  furnish  Landlord and any Facility  Mortgagee  with
reasonable evidence of such deposit within five (5) days after request therefor.
Landlord agrees to join in any such proceedings if required legally to prosecute
such contest; provided, however, that Landlord shall not thereby be subjected to
any liability therefor  (including,  for the payment of any costs or expenses in
connection therewith).  Tenant shall be entitled to any refund of any Claims and
such charges and penalties or interest thereon which have been paid by Tenant or
paid by Landlord and for which Landlord has been fully reimbursed by Tenant.  If
Tenant  shall  fail (a) to pay any  Claims  when due,  (b) to  provide  security
therefor as provided in this  Article 8, or (c) to  prosecute  any such  contest
diligently  and in good faith,  Landlord may, upon  reasonable  notice to Tenant
(which notice may be oral and shall not be required if Landlord shall  determine
the same is not  practicable),  pay such  charges,  together  with  interest and



                                      -25-
<PAGE>

penalties  due  with  respect  thereto,  and  Tenant  shall  reimburse  Landlord
therefor, upon demand, as Additional Rent.

                                   ARTICLE 9

                          INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION

         9.1 General  Insurance  Requirements.  Tenant shall at all times during
the  Term  and any  other  time  Tenant  shall be in  possession  of the  Leased
Property, keep the Leased Property, and all property located in or on the Leased
Property, including Tenant's Personal Property, insured against the risks in the
amounts as follows:

                  (a) Commercial general liability  insurance,  including bodily
         injury and property damage (in the broadest form  available,  including
         broad form contractual  liability,  fire legal liability,  products and
         completed  operations  coverage) and healthcare  facility  professional
         liability  insurance,  under  which  Tenant is named as an insured  and
         Landlord and any Facility Mortgagee are named as additional insureds as
         their interests may appear,  in an amount which shall be at least equal
         to $1,000,000 per occurrence  with respect to bodily injury  liability,
         property  damage  liability  or  professional  liability,  and umbrella
         coverage of all such claims in an amount not less than $10,000,000;

                  (b)  "All-risk"  property  insurance on a  "replacement  cost"
         basis (including boiler and machinery) with the usual extended coverage
         endorsements (including increased costs of construction, demolition and
         ordinance or law)  covering the Leased  Property and Tenant's  Personal
         Property;

                  (c)  Business  interruption  and  loss of (i)  rent or  rental
         income  under a rental value  insurance  policy  covering  risk of loss
         during the lesser of the first twelve (12) months of  reconstruction or
         (ii) the actual reconstruction period necessitated by the occurrence of
         any of the hazards described in paragraph (b) above, in such amounts as
         may be customary for comparable properties in the area and in an amount
         sufficient to prevent Landlord or Tenant from becoming a co-insurer;

                  (d) Flood (if the Leased Property which 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,   provided   the  same  is  available  at  rates  which  are
         economically  practical in relation to the risks covered, as determined
         by  Tenant  and  approved  by  Landlord,  which  approval  shall not be
         unreasonably withheld or delayed;

                  (e) Worker's  compensation  insurance coverage for all persons
         employed by Tenant on the Leased  Property  with  statutory  limits and
         otherwise  with  limits  of  and  provisions  in  accordance  with  the
         requirements of applicable local, state and federal law, and employer's
         liability  insurance  in such  amounts  as  necessary  to  satisfy  the
         aforementioned [underlying insurance requirements]; and



                                      -26-
<PAGE>

                  (f) Such additional  insurance as may be reasonably  required,
         from time to time, by Landlord or any Facility Mortgagee.

         9.2 Waiver of  Subrogation.  Landlord and Tenant agree that (insofar as
and to the extent that such agreement may be effective  without  invalidating or
making it impossible to secure  insurance  coverage from  responsible  insurance
companies  doing  business in the State) with respect to any property loss which
is covered by  insurance  then being  carried by  Landlord or Tenant or would be
covered by  insurance  if  insurance  were  maintained  in  accordance  with the
applicable  provisions  of this Lease,  respectively,  the party  carrying  such
insurance  and  suffering  said loss  releases the other of and from any and all
claims with respect to such loss;  and they further agree that their  respective
insurance  companies  shall have no right of  subrogation  against  the other on
account thereof,  even though extra premium may result  therefrom.  In the event
that any extra  premium  is  payable  by  Tenant as a result of this  provision,
Landlord shall not be liable for reimbursement to Tenant for such extra premium.

         9.3 Form  Satisfactory,  Etc. All policies of insurance  required under
this Article 9 shall be written in a form  reasonably  satisfactory  to Landlord
and written by insurance companies authorized to do business in the State, which
insurance companies shall be reasonably  satisfactory to Landlord.  All policies
of insurance required under this Article 9 shall include no deductible in excess
of $250,000 and (with the exception of the insurance  described in paragraph (e)
of Section 9.1) shall name  Landlord and any  Facility  Mortgagee as  additional
insureds,  as their interests may appear. Losses shall be payable to Landlord or
Tenant as provided in Article 10. Any loss adjustment  shall require the written
consent of Landlord,  Tenant and each Facility Mortgagee.  Evidence of insurance
shall be deposited  with  Landlord and, if  requested,  any Facility  Mortgagee.
Tenant shall pay all insurance  premiums,  and deliver  policies or certificates
thereof to Landlord  prior to their  effective  date (and,  with  respect to any
renewal policy,  five (5) days prior to the expiration of the existing  policy),
and in the event  Tenant  shall fail either to effect such  insurance  as herein
required,  to pay  the  premiums  therefor  or,  to  deliver  such  policies  or
certificates to Landlord at the times  required.  Landlord shall have the right,
but not the obligation,  to effect such insurance and pay the premiums therefor,
which amounts  shall be payable to Landlord,  upon demand,  as Additional  Rent,
together  with  interest  accrued  thereon  at the Base  Rate from the date such
payment is made until the date repaid.  All such policies shall provide Landlord
(and any  Facility  Mortgagee,  if required by the same)  thirty (30) days prior
written notice of any  cancellation or non-renewal of such policy (except in the
event of any  cancellation or non-renewal  for non-payment of premium,  in which
case such policy shall provide for ten (10) days prior written notice thereof).

         9.4  No  Separate  Insurance.   Tenant  shall  not  take  out  separate
insurance,  concurrent  in form or  contributing  in the event of loss with that
required by Sections 9.1(b),  (c) and (d) or increase the amount of any existing
insurance by securing an additional  policy or additional  policies,  unless all
parties having an insurable  interest in the subject  matter of such  insurance,
including,  Landlord  and all  Facility  Mortgagees,  are  included  therein  as
additional  insureds,  and the loss is payable under such  insurance in the same
manner as losses are payable  under this Lease.  In the event  Tenant shall take
out any such  separate  insurance  or  increase  any of the  amounts of the then
existing insurance, Tenant shall give Landlord prompt written notice thereof.

         9.5  Indemnification  of  Landlord.  Tenant  shall  indemnify  and hold
harmless  Landlord  from  and  against  all  liabilities,  obligations,  claims,
damages,  penalties,  causes of action, costs and expenses  (including,  without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees), to the maximum extent permitted by law,
imposed upon or incurred by or asserted  against  Landlord by reason of: (a) any
accident,  injury  to or death  of  persons  or loss of or  damage  to  property
occurring  on or about the Leased  Property or adjoining  sidewalks,  including,
without limitation,  any claims of malpractice,  (b) any past, present or future
use, misuse, non-use, condition, management,  maintenance or repair by Tenant or
anyone  claiming  under  Tenant of the  Leased  Property  or  Tenant's  Personal
Property or any  litigation,  proceeding  or claim by  governmental  entities or
other third parties to which Landlord is made a party or participant  related to
the Leased Property or Tenant's Personal Property or such use, misuse,  non-use,
condition,  management,  maintenance,  or repair thereof  including,  failure to
perform  obligations (other than Condemnation  proceedings) to which Landlord is
made a party,  (c) any  Impositions  (which are the obligations of Tenant to pay
pursuant to the applicable provisions of this Lease), and (d) any failure on the
part of Tenant or anyone  claiming under Tenant to perform or comply with any of
the terms of this Lease. Tenant shall pay all amounts payable under this Section
9.5 within ten (10) days after demand  therefor,  and if not timely  paid,  such
amounts shall bear  interest at the overdue rate from the date of  determination
to the date of payment. Tenant, at its expense, shall contest, resist and defend
any such claim,  action or proceeding asserted or instituted against Landlord or
may compromise or otherwise dispose of the same as Tenant sees fit.

         9.6  Indemnification  of  Tenant.  Landlord  shall  indemnify  and hold
harmless Tenant from and against all liabilities,  obligations, claims, damages,
penalties,  causes of action,  costs and expenses imposed upon or incurred by or
asserted  against  Tenant  as a  result  of  the  gross  negligence  or  willful
misconduct of Landlord.

                                   ARTICLE 10

                                    CASUALTY

         10.1 Insurance Proceeds.  All proceeds payable by reason of any loss or
damage to the Leased Property and insured under any policy of insurance required
by  Article  9 shall be paid to  Landlord  and held in trust by  Landlord  in an
interest-bearing  account  (subject to the provisions of Section 10.2) and shall
be paid  out by  Landlord  from  time  to  time  for  the  reasonable  costs  of
reconstruction  or  repair  of the  Leased  Property  necessitated  by damage or
destruction.  Any excess proceeds of insurance remaining after the completion of
the  restoration  shall be paid to Tenant.  In the event  neither  Landlord  nor
Tenant is required or elects to restore  the Leased  Property  and this Lease is
terminated  without purchase or substitution by Tenant pursuant to Section 10.2,
all  insurance  proceeds  therefrom  shall be retained by Landlord.  All salvage
resulting  from any risk covered by insurance  shall belong to Landlord,  except
any salvage related to Capital Additions paid for by Tenant or Tenant's Personal
Property shall belong to Tenant.

         10.2 Reconstruction in the Event of Damage or Destruction.

                  10.2.1 Material  Damage or Destruction of Premises.  Except as
provided in Section 10.8,  if,  during the Term,  the Leased  Property  shall be
totally or  partially  damaged or  destroyed  by fire or other  casualty and the
Facility is thereby  rendered  Unsuitable for Its Primary


                                      -28-
<PAGE>

Intended Use, Tenant shall, at Tenant's option, exercisable by written notice to
Landlord  within thirty (30) days after the date of such damage or  destruction,
elect either (a) to restore the Facility to substantially  the same condition as
existed  immediately  before such damage or destruction,  or (b) to offer (i) to
purchase the Leased  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 Leased Property immediately prior to such damage or destruction,  or (ii)
to  substitute  a new property for the Leased  Property in  accordance  with the
provisions of Article 16.  Failure of Tenant to give Landlord  written notice of
any such  election  within  such  30-day  period  shall be deemed an election by
Tenant to restore the Facility.  In the event Tenant shall proceed in accordance
with  clause  (b)  preceding  and  Landlord  does not accept  Tenant's  offer to
purchase  the Leased  Property or  substitute  another  property  for the Leased
Property  within  thirty  (30) days after  receipt of Tenant's  notice  thereof,
Tenant may either (a)  withdraw  such offer and proceed  promptly to restore the
Facility to substantially the same conditions as existed  immediately before the
damage or  destruction,  or (b) terminate this Lease without  further  liability
hereunder and Landlord  shall be entitled to retain the insurance  proceeds.  In
the event Tenant shall acquire the Leased  Property or substitute a new property
therefor, the insurance proceeds payable on account of such damage shall be Paid
to Tenant.

                  10.2.2  Partial Damage or  Destruction.  Except as provided in
Section  10.8,  if, during the Term,  all or any portion of the Leased  Property
shall be  totally  or  partially  destroyed  by fire or other  casualty  and the
Facility is not thereby rendered Unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use, Tenant
shall  promptly  restore the  Facility to  substantially  the same  condition as
existed immediately before such damage or destruction;  provided,  however, that
if Tenant cannot,  using  diligent  efforts,  obtain all  government  approvals,
including building permits,  licenses,  conditional use permits and certificates
of need, necessary to perform all required repair and restoration and to operate
the Facility for its Primary  Intended Use in  substantially  the same manner as
existed  immediately  prior to such  damage or  destruction  within one  hundred
eighty (180) days after the date of such fire or casualty,  Tenant shall, within
thirty (30) days thereafter elect, by written notice to Landlord,  either (a) to
substitute a new property or  properties  for the Leased  Property in accordance
with the  provisions  of Article 16, or (b) purchase  the Leased  Property for a
purchase price equal to the greater of the then Minimum  Repurchase Price or the
Fair Market Value Purchase  Price of the Leased  Property  immediately  prior to
such damage or  destruction.  Failure of Tenant to give such notice  within such
period  shall be deemed an election by Tenant to purchase  the Leased  Property.
Within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant's  notice,  Landlord  shall give
Tenant  written  notice as to whether  Landlord  accepts such offer.  Failure of
Landlord to give such  notice  shall be deemed an election by Landlord to accept
Tenant's  offer.  If Landlord  shall reject such offer,  Tenant shall elect,  by
written notice to Landlord, given within thirty (30) days thereafter, either (a)
to withdraw such offer, in which event this Lease shall remain in full force and
effect  with 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,  or (b)  terminate  this Lease.
Failure of Tenant to give such  notice  within  such  period  shall be deemed an
election by Tenant to restore the Leased Property.

         In the event  Landlord  shall  accept  Tenant's  offer to purchase  the
Leased Property, this Lease shall terminate with respect thereto upon payment of
the  purchase  price.  In the event  Landlord  shall  accept  Tenant's  offer to
substitute a new property or properties,  this Lease shall


                                      -29-
<PAGE>

be deemed  modified to  substitute  such new  property  for the Leased  Property
(effective as of the date of such  substitution  pursuant to Article 16) and all
insurance  proceeds  pertaining to the Leased  Property shall be paid to Tenant.
Landlord and Tenant shall promptly  execute  appropriate  instruments to confirm
the foregoing, although the failure to do so shall not affect this Lease.

         10.3  Insufficient  Insurance  Proceeds.  If the cost of the  repair or
restoration  exceeds  the amount of  insurance  proceeds  received  by  Landlord
pursuant to Article 9, Tenant  shall  contribute  any excess  amounts  needed to
complete such  restoration.  Such difference shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord
and held by Landlord in trust in an interest bearing account,  together with any
other insurance proceeds,  for application to the cost of repair and restoration
in accordance with Section 10.4.

         10.4  Disbursement  of  Proceeds.  In the event  Tenant is  required to
restore the Leased Property  pursuant to Sections 10.1 or 10.2, Tenant shall, at
its sole cost and expense, commence promptly and continue diligently to perform,
or cause to be performed,  the repair and  restoration of the Leased Property so
as to restore the Leased Property in full compliance with all Legal Requirements
and otherwise in compliance with any other applicable  provisions of this Lease,
so that the Leased Property shall be at least equal in value and general utility
to  its  general  utility  and  value   immediately  prior  to  such  damage  or
destruction.  Subject to the terms hereof,  Landlord shall advance the insurance
proceeds (other than proceeds of business interruption  insurance which shall be
advanced as provided  below) and the amounts paid to it pursuant to Section 10.3
to Tenant  regularly  during the repair and  restoration  period so as to permit
payment for the cost of such restoration and repair.  Any such advances shall be
for not less than $50,000 (or such lesser amount as equals the entire balance of
the repair and restoration  costs) and Tenant shall submit to Landlord a written
requisition and  substantiation  therefor on AIA Forms G702 and G703 (or on such
other form or forms as may be  acceptable  to  Landlord).  Landlord  may, at its
option,  condition  advancement of such insurance  proceeds and other amounts on
(i) the absence of any Default (as to which Landlord has given notice to Tenant)
or Event of  Default,  (ii) its  approval  of  plans  and  specifications  of an
architect  satisfactory  to Landlord  (which  approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed),  (iii) general  contractors,  estimates,  (iv) architect's
certificates,  (v)  unconditional  lien  waivers  of general  contractors,  (vi)
evidence of approval by all governmental authorities and other regulatory bodies
whose  approval is required and (vii) such other  certificates  as Landlord may,
from time to time, reasonably require. Provided no Default (as to which Landlord
has given notice to Tenant) or Event of Default has occurred and is  continuing,
on the first day of each  calendar  month  during  which  proceeds  of  business
interruption  insurance are  disbursed to Landlord  under the policy of business
interruption insurance maintained pursuant to Article 9, Landlord shall disburse
proceeds of business interruption insurance received by it to Tenant upon notice
from Tenant  accompanied by a certification from Tenant that such moneys will be
used for costs or expenses of owning or operating the Leased Property.

         Landlord's obligation to disburse insurance proceeds under this Article
10 shall be subject to the release of such proceeds by any Facility Mortgagee.

         10.5 Tenant's Property. All insurance proceeds payable by reason of any
loss of or damage to any of  Tenant's  Personal  Property  or Capital  Additions
financed by Tenant shall be


                                      -30-
<PAGE>

paid to Tenant and Tenant  shall hold such  proceeds in trust to pay the cost of
repairing or replacing  damaged Tenant's  Personal Property or Capital Additions
paid for or financed by Tenant.

         10.6 Restoration of Tenant's  Property.  If Tenant shall be required or
elect to restore the Facility as  hereinabove  provided  Tenant shall either (a)
restore all  alterations  and  improvements  made by Tenant,  Tenant's  Personal
Property  and all  Capital  Additions  paid for or  financed  by Tenant,  or (b)
replace such alterations and improvements,  Tenant's Personal  Property,  and/or
Capital  Additions with  improvements or items of the same or better quality and
utility in the operation of the Facility.

         10.7 No Abatement  of Rent.  Unless this Lease shall be  terminated  as
herein provided,  during the first twelve (12) months of any period required for
repair or  restoration,  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 remain unabated during the Term notwithstanding any
damage affecting the Leased Property. Thereafter, payments of Minimum Rent shall
be adjusted in the manner provided in Section 11.6.

         10.8 Damage Near End of Term.  Notwithstanding  any  provisions of this
Article 10 to the  contrary,  if (a) damage to or  destruction  of the  Facility
occurs  during  the last  twelve  (12)  months of the Term,  (b)  Tenant has not
elected  to extend  the Term,  (c) no Default  (as to which  Landlord  has given
notice to Tenant) or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and
(d) such damage or destruction  cannot be fully repaired and restored within one
hundred eighty (180) days immediately  following the date of loss,  Tenant shall
have the right to terminate  this Lease by the giving of written  notice thereof
to  Landlord  within  thirty  (30) days after the date of  casualty.  Failure of
Tenant  to give  such  notice  within  such 30 day  period  shall be a waiver of
Tenant's right to terminate this Lease pursuant to this section.

                                   ARTICLE 11

                                  CONDEMNATION

         11.1 Total  Condemnation.  If the whole of the Leased Property shall be
taken by Condemnation,  this Lease shall terminate as of the Date of Taking.  In
the event a Condemnation of less than the whole of the Leased  Property  renders
the Leased Property Unsuitable for Its Primary Intended Use, Tenant and Landlord
shall each have the option,  by written  notice to the other,  given at any time
prior to the date title vests in a third party,  to  terminate  this Lease as of
the Date of Taking, whereupon this Lease shall terminate as of such date.

         11.2 Partial Condemnation.  In the event of a Condemnation of less than
the whole of the Leased Property such that Leased Property is still suitable for
its Primary Intended Use, or if neither Tenant nor Landlord shall terminate this
Lease as provided in Section 11.1, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense,  shall,
with  all  reasonable  dispatch,  restore  the  untaken  portion  of the  Leased
Improvements  so that such  Leased  Improvements  shall  constitute  a  complete
architectural unit of the same general character and condition (as nearly as may
be  possible  under  the  circumstances)  as the  Leased  Improvements  existing
immediately  prior  to such  Condemnation.  Landlord  shall,  subject  to and in
accordance  with the  applicable  provisions of


                                      -31-
<PAGE>

Section  10.4,  contribute  to the cost of  restoration  that  part of its Award
allocable  to such  restoration.  In such  event,  the  Minimum  Rent  shall  be
permanently reduced as set forth in Section 11.6.

         11.3 Temporary Condemnation. In the event of any temporary Condemnation
of all or any part of the Leased Property or Tenant's interest under this Lease,
this Lease shall  continue in full force and effect and Tenant shall continue to
pay,  in the manner and on the terms  herein  specified,  the full amount of the
Rent. To the extent reasonably practicable, Tenant shall continue to perform and
observe all of the other terms and conditions  thereof, on the part of Tenant to
be  performed  and  observed.  The  entire  amount  of any  Award  made for such
temporary Taking or Condemnation  allocable to the Term,  whether paid by way of
damages,  rent or otherwise,  shall be paid to Tenant.  Tenant  shall,  upon the
termination of any such period of temporary  Condemnation,  at its sole cost and
expense  (but only to the extent of the Award  payable to  Tenant),  restore the
Leased Property as nearly as may be reasonably  possible,  to the condition that
existed immediately prior to such 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.

         11.4 Tenant's Option.  In the event of the termination of this Lease as
provided in Section 11.1,  Tenant shall have the right,  exercisable  by written
notice to Landlord  given  within  thirty  (30) days after  receipt by Tenant of
notice of  Condemnation,  to elect  (a) to  acquire  the  Leased  Property  from
Landlord  for a purchase  price equal to the  greater of its Minimum  Repurchase
Price or the Fair Market Value Purchase Price of the Leased Property immediately
prior  to  such  Condemnation,   in  which  event,  upon  the  closing  of  such
acquisition,  Tenant shall have the right to receive the entire Award, or (b) to
substitute a new property  therefor in accordance with the provisions of Article
16, in which event Tenant shall receive the entire  Award.  Failure of Tenant to
give such notice  within such 30-day period shall be deemed a waiver of Tenant's
rights  pursuant to this Section 11.4. In the event Landlord  shall,  by written
notice to Tenant  given  within  thirty  (30) days  after  receipt  of  Tenant's
election  notice,  reject  Tenant's offer so to purchase or  substitute,  Tenant
shall restore the Leased Property to substantially the same condition as existed
immediately   before  such   Condemnation  in  accordance  with  the  applicable
provisions of this Lease and, in such event,  Landlord shall,  subject to and in
accordance  with the  applicable  provisions of Section 10.4,  contribute to the
cost of restoration that part of its Award allocable to such restoration.

         11.5 Allocation of Award.  Except as provided in the second sentence of
this Section  11.5,  the total Award shall be solely the property of and payable
to Landlord.  Any portion of the Award made for the taking of Tenant's leasehold
interest  in the Leased  Property,  Capital  Additions  paid for or  financed by
Tenant,  loss of business at the Leased  Property  during the  remainder  of the
Term,  the  taking of  Tenant's  Personal  Property,  or  Tenant's  removal  and
relocation  expenses shall be the sole property of and payable to Tenant. In any
Condemnation  proceedings,  Landlord and Tenant shall each seek its own Award in
conformity herewith, at its own expense.

         11.6 Abatement  Procedures.  In the event of a partial  Condemnation as
described in Section 11.2, this Lease shall not terminate,  but the Minimum Rent
shall be abated in the manner and to the extent that is fair, just and equitable
to both Tenant and Landlord,  taking into


                                      -32-
<PAGE>

consideration,  among other  relevant  factors,  the number of usable beds,  the
amount of square footage,  or the revenues affected by such partial or temporary
taking or damage or destruction. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon
the amount of such abatement within thirty (30) days after such  Condemnation or
damage,  the matter may be  submitted  by either  party to a court of  competent
jurisdiction  for  resolution  or, if the  parties  so agree,  the matter may be
submitted by the parties for resolution by  arbitration  in accordance  with the
rules of the American Arbitration Association.

                                   ARTICLE 12

                              DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

         12.1  Events  of  Default.  The  occurrence  of any  one or more of the
following events shall constitute an "Event of Default" under this Lease:

                  (a) If Tenant  shall  fail to make any  payment of Rent or any
         other sum payable  hereunder  when due and such failure shall  continue
         for ten (10) days after written notice thereof;

                  (b) If Tenant  shall fail to  observe  any term,  covenant  or
         condition  set forth in Section 9 of this Lease and such failure  shall
         continue for ten (10) days after written notice thereof;

                  (c) If  Tenant  or the  Guarantor  shall  fail to  observe  or
         perform any other term,  covenant or  condition  of this Lease and such
         failure  shall  continue  for  thirty  (30) days after  written  notice
         thereof;  provided,  however,  if any such  failure,  not involving the
         payment of money, cannot with due diligence be cured within such thirty
         (30) day  period,  an Event of  Default  shall  not be  deemed  to have
         occurred  for such  additional  period  (not to exceed  120 days in the
         aggregate)  required  to cure the same so long as Tenant  or  Guarantor
         commences  sure cure within such thirty (30) day period and  thereafter
         diligently prosecutes such cure to completion;

                  (d) If, following confirmation of a plan of reorganization for
         Tenant or Guarantor, as applicable,

                           (A)  Tenant or  Guarantor  shall (i) admit in writing
                  its  inability,  or be unable,  to pay its debts  generally as
                  they  become  due;  (ii) file a petition  in  bankruptcy  or a
                  petition to take advantage of any insolvency law; (iii) make a
                  general  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

                           (B)  Tenant  or  Guarantor  shall  be  adjudicated  a
                  bankrupt or shall have an order for relief thereunder  entered
                  against it or a court of competent jurisdiction shall enter an
                  order or decree  appointing  a receiver for it or of the


                                      -33-
<PAGE>

                  whole or  substantially  all of its  property,  or approving a
                  petition   filed   against   it  seeking   reorganization   or
                  arrangement of Tenant or Guarantor  under the Bankruptcy  Code
                  or any other applicable law or statute of the United States of
                  America  or any state  thereof,  and such  judgment,  order or
                  decree  shall not be  vacated or set aside  within  sixty (60)
                  days from the date of entry thereof;

                  (e) If Tenant or Guarantor  shall be  liquidated or dissolved,
         or shall begin proceedings toward such liquidation or dissolution,  or,
         in any manner,  permit the sale or divestiture of substantially  all of
         its assets;

                  (f) If the estate or interest of Tenant in the Leased Property
         or any part thereof shall be levied upon or attached in any  proceeding
         and the same shall not be vacated or discharged within thirty (30) days
         after commencement thereof (unless Tenant shall be contesting such lien
         or attachment in accordance with Article 8);

                  (g) If,  except as a result of damage,  destruction,  strikes,
         lock-outs  or  a  partial  or  complete   Condemnation,   Tenant  shall
         voluntarily  cease  operations  on the Leased  Property for a period in
         excess of thirty (30) days; or

                  (h) If any  representation  or warranty of Tenant or Guarantor
         and contained in this Lease or the Guaranty shall prove to be untrue in
         any  material  respect  on the date  when  made  which  materially  and
         adversely  affects  Landlord,  and the same  shall not be cured  within
         ninety (90) days after written notice thereof;

                  (i) If the Cases of the Tenant or Guarantor shall be dismissed
         or converted to a Case under  Chapter 7 of the  Bankruptcy  Code;  or a
         trustee  under  Chapter  7 or  Chapter  11 of the  Bankruptcy  Code,  a
         responsible officer or an examiner with enlarged powers relating to the
         operation   of  the  business   (powers   beyond  those  set  forth  in
         ss.1106(a)(3)  and (4) of the Bankruptcy  Code) under ss.1106(b) of the
         Bankruptcy Code shall be appointed in any of the Cases of the Tenant or
         Guarantor and the order appointing such trustee, responsible officer or
         examiner  shall not be  reversed  or  vacated  within 60 days after the
         entry thereof; or

                  (j) If an  order of the  Bankruptcy  Court  shall  be  entered
         reversing, amending,  supplementing,  staying for a period in excess of
         10 days, vacating or otherwise modifying the Orders in a manner that is
         materially adverse to Landlord.

         Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default,  and without further order
of or application to the Bankruptcy Court,  Landlord and the agents and servants
of Landlord  lawfully  may, in addition to and not in derogation of any remedies
for any preceding  breach of covenant,  immediately  or at any time  thereafter,
without  demand or notice  and with or  without  process  of law  (forcibly,  if
necessary),  enter into and upon the Leased  Property or any part thereof in the
name of the whole or mail a notice  of  termination  addressed  to  Tenant,  and
repossess the same and expel Tenant and those  claiming  through or under Tenant
and remove its and their effects (forcibly, if necessary),  without being deemed
guilty of any manner of trespass and without  prejudice  to any  remedies  which
might  otherwise be used for arrears of rent or prior  breach of covenant,  and,
upon such entry or mailing as  aforesaid,  this Lease  shall  terminate,  Tenant
hereby


                                      -34-
<PAGE>

waiving  all  statutory  rights  to  the  Leased  Property  (including,  without
limitation,  rights of  redemption,  if any,  to the extent  such  rights may be
lawfully  waived) and Landlord,  without  notice to Tenant,  may store  Tenant's
effects,  and those of any person claiming through or under Tenant,  at Tenant's
sole  expense and risk,  and, if  Landlord so elects,  may sell such  effects at
public  auction or private sale and apply the net proceeds to the payment of all
sums due to Landlord from Tenant,  if any, and pay over the balance,  if any, to
Tenant.  In addition,  subject solely to the terms of the Orders,  the automatic
stay  provided in ss.362 of the  Bankruptcy  Code shall be deemed  automatically
vacated without further action or order of the Bankruptcy Court and the Landlord
shall be entitled to exercise all of its  respective  rights and remedies  under
this Lease Agreement and the Guaranty, including, without limitation, all rights
and remedies with respect to the Tenant's Personal Property and Guarantor.

         Upon the  occurrence of an Event of Default,  Landlord may, in addition
to any other remedies  provided herein,  enter upon the Leased Property and take
possession of any and all of Tenant's Personal Property and the Records (subject
to any  prohibitions  or limitations to disclosure of any such data as described
in Section  3.1.2(d)) on the Leased Property,  without liability for trespass or
conversion  (Tenant  hereby waiving any right to notice or hearing prior to such
taking of  possession  by Landlord) and sell the same at public or private sale,
after  giving  Tenant  reasonable  notice of the time and place of any public or
private  sale,  at which sale  Landlord or its assigns may  purchase  all or any
portion of such Personal  Property  unless  otherwise  prohibited by law. Unless
otherwise  provided by law, and without intending to exclude any other manner of
giving Tenant reasonable  notice,  the requirement of reasonable notice shall be
met if such notice is given in the manner  prescribed in this Lease at least ten
(10) days before the day of sale. The proceeds from any such  disposition,  less
all expenses  incurred in connection with the taking of possession,  holding and
selling  of such  property  (including,  reasonable  attorneys,  fees)  shall be
deducted from the proceeds of such sale.  Any surplus shall be paid to Tenant or
as otherwise required by law and Tenant shall pay any deficiency to Landlord, as
Additional Rent, upon demand.

         The automatic stay provided in ss.362 of the  Bankruptcy  Code shall be
modified so as to permit Landlord to deliver notices of default to Tenant and/or
Guarantor pursuant to the appropriate paragraphs of Section 12.1 and to take all
other  actions  provided  for  above  without  further  action  or  order of the
Bankruptcy Court.

         12.2  Remedies.  In the event of any  termination  pursuant  to Section
12.1,  Tenant shall pay the Rent and other charges  payable  hereunder up to the
time of such termination and,  thereafter,  Tenant,  until the end of what would
have been the Term of this Lease in the absence of such termination, and whether
or not the Leased  Property,  or any portion  thereof,  shall have been  re-let,
shall be liable to Landlord for, and shall pay to Landlord,  as current damages,
the Rent and other charges which would be payable hereunder for the remainder of
the Term had such  termination not occurred,  less the net proceeds,  if any, of
any reletting of the Leased Property, after deducting all expenses in connection
with such re-letting,  including,  without  limitation,  all repossession costs,
brokerage commissions, legal expenses, attorneys' fees, advertising, expenses of
employees,  alteration  costs and expenses of  preparation  for such  reletting.
Tenant shall pay such current  damages to Landlord  monthly on the days on which
the Minimum  Rent would have been  payable  hereunder if this Lease had not been
terminated.



                                      -35-
<PAGE>

         At any time after such termination,  whether or not Landlord shall have
collected any such current  damages,  as liquidated final damages and in lieu of
all such current damages beyond the date of such demand, at Landlord's election,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord  either (a) an amount equal to the excess,  if any,
of the Rent and other charges which would be payable  hereunder from the date of
such demand (assuming that, for the purposes of this paragraph,  annual payments
by Tenant on account of Impositions  would be the same as payments  required for
the  immediately  preceding  twelve  calendar  months,  or if less  than  twelve
calendar months have expired since the Commencement  Date, the payments required
for such lesser period  projected to an annual amount shall be determined in the
manner set forth above) for what would be the then  unexpired term of this Lease
if the same remained in effect, over the Fair Market Rental for the same period,
or (b) an amount  equal to the  lesser of (i) the Rent and  other  charges  that
would have been payable for the balance of the Term had it not been  terminated,
or (ii) the  aggregate  of the  Minimum  Rent and other  charges  accrued in the
twelve (12) months ended next prior to such termination  (without  reduction for
any free rent or other  concession or abatement).  In the event this Lease is so
terminated  prior the  expiration  of the  first,  full  year of the  Term,  the
liquidated  damages  which  Landlord  may elect to  recover  pursuant  to clause
(b)(ii)  of this  paragraph  shall  be  calculated  as if such  termination  had
occurred on the first anniversary of the Commencement Date. Nothing contained in
this Lease shall, however, limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove and
obtain in  proceedings  for  bankruptcy  or  insolvency  an amount  equal to the
maximum  allowed by any  statute or rule of law in effect at the time when,  and
governing the proceedings in which, the damages are to be proved, whether or not
the  amount be  greater  than,  equal to, or less than the amount of the loss or
damages referred to above.

         In case of any Event of Default, re-entry, expiration and dispossession
by summary proceedings or otherwise,  Landlord may (a) relet the Leased Property
or any part or parts thereof, either in the name of Landlord or otherwise, for a
term or terms which may at Landlord's  option,  be equal to, less than or exceed
the period which would  otherwise have  constituted  the balance of the Term and
may  grant  concessions  or free  rent to the  extent  that  Landlord  considers
advisable  and  necessary  to relet the same,  and (b) may make such  reasonable
alterations,  repairs and decorations in the Leased Property as Landlord, in its
sole  judgment,  considers  advisable and necessary for the purpose of reletting
the Leased Property; and the making of such alterations, repairs and decorations
shall not operate or be construed to release Tenant from liability  hereunder as
aforesaid.  Landlord  shall in no  event be  liable  in any way  whatsoever  for
failure to relet the Leased Property,  or any portion thereof,  or, in the event
that the Leased  Property  is relet,  for failure to collect the rent under such
reletting.  To the fullest  extent  permitted by law,  Tenant  hereby  expressly
waives any and all rights of redemption granted under any present or future laws
in the  event of  Tenant  being  evicted  or  dispossessed,  or in the  event of
Landlord obtaining possession of the Leased Property, by reason of the violation
by Tenant of any of the covenants and conditions of this Lease.

         12.3 Waiver.  If this Lease is  terminated  pursuant to Section 12.1 or
12.2, Tenant waives, to the extent permitted by law, (a) any right to a trial by
jury in the event of summary  proceedings  to enforce the  remedies set forth in
this  Article  12,  and (b) the  benefit of any laws now or  hereafter  in force
exempting property from liability for rent or for debt.

         WITHOUT LIMITING THE EFFECT OR GENERALITY OF OTHER WAIVERS PROVIDED FOR
IN THIS LEASE,  TENANT EXPRESSLY  WAIVES


                                      -36-
<PAGE>

THOSE  BENEFITS  CONFERRED  ON TENANTS BY ACT NO.  20,  APPROVED  APRIL 6, 1951,
ENTITLED  "THE  LANDLORD  AND  TENANT ACT OF 1951",  AS  AMENDED,  WHICH  GOVERN
REQUIREMENTS OF NOTICE TO VACATE THE LEASED PREMISES IN THE EVENT OF ANY DEFAULT
OR AT THE END OF THE TERM AND  REQUIREMENTS  REGARDING  SECURITY  DEPOSITS,  THE
RETURN THEREOF AND THE ACCOUNTING AND DELIVERY OF INTEREST THEREON.

         12.4 Application of Funds. Any payments  received by Landlord under any
of the provisions of this Lease during the existence or continuance of any Event
of Default  (and any  payment  made to  Landlord  rather  than Tenant due to the
existence of an Event of Default)  shall be applied to Tenant's  obligations  in
such order as Landlord may  determine or as may be prescribed by the laws of the
State.

         12.5 Landlord's Right to Cure Tenant's Default.  If an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing,  Landlord, after written notice to Tenant
(provided  that no such notice  shall be required if Landlord  shall  reasonably
determine immediate action is necessary to protect person or property),  without
waiving or releasing any obligation of Tenant,  and without waiving or releasing
any  Event  of  Default,  may  (but  shall  not be  obligated  to),  at any time
thereafter,  make such  payment or perform  such act for the  account and at the
expense  of Tenant,  and may,  to the extent  permitted  by law,  enter upon the
Leased  Property,  or any portion  thereof,  for such  purpose and take all such
action  thereon as, in  Landlord's  opinion,  may be  necessary  or  appropriate
therefor, including, the management of the Facility by Landlord or its designee,
and  Tenant  hereby  irrevocably  appoints,  in the  event of such  election  by
Landlord,  Landlord or its  designee as manager of the Facility and its attorney
in fact for such purpose, irrevocably and coupled with an interest, in the name,
place  and  stead  of  Tenant.  All  costs  and  expenses  (including,   without
limitation,  reasonable  attorneys,  fees)  incurred by  Landlord in  connection
therewith,  together with interest  thereon (to the extent  permitted by law) at
the  Overdue  Rate from the date such sums are paid by  Landlord  until  repaid,
shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord, on demand.

         12.6 Trade Names. If this Lease is terminated for any reason,  Landlord
shall, upon the request of Tenant, cause the name of the business conducted upon
the Leased  Property to be changed to a name other than a Facility Trade Name or
any  approximation or abbreviation  thereof and sufficiently  dissimilar to such
name as to be unlikely to cause  confusion  with such name;  provided,  however,
that Tenant shall not thereafter use a Facility Trade Name in the same market in
which the Facility is located in connection with any business that competes with
the Facility.

                                  HOLDING OVER

         Any holding  over by Tenant after the  expiration  of the Term shall be
treated as a daily  tenancy at  sufferance  at a rate equal to two (2) times the
Minimum  Rent then in effect  plus  Additional  Rent and  other  charges  herein
provided  (prorated  on a daily  basis).  Tenant  shall also pay to Landlord all
damages, direct and/or consequential (foreseeable and unforeseeable),


                                      -37-

sustained by reason of any such holding over. otherwise, such holding over shall
be on the  terms  and  conditions  set  forth  in  this  Lease,  to  the  extent
applicable.

                               LANDLORD'S DEFAULT

         If Landlord  shall default in the  performance  or observance of any of
its  covenants or  obligations  set forth in this Lease and such  default  shall
continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof,  or such
additional  period as may be reasonably  required to correct the same (except if
such default shall constitute an immediate threat to life or property,  five (5)
Business  Days) Tenant may declare the  occurrence of a "Landlord  Default" by a
second notice to Landlord.  Thereafter,  Tenant may forthwith cure the same and,
subject to the provisions of the following paragraph, invoice Landlord for costs
and expenses (including  reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) incurred by
Tenant in  curing  the  same,  together  with  interest  from the date  Landlord
receives Tenant's  invoice,  at a rate equal to the Base Rate. Tenant shall have
no right to terminate  this Lease for any default by Landlord  hereunder  and no
right, for any such default, to offset or counterclaim against any rent or other
charges due hereunder.

         If Landlord  shall in good faith dispute the occurrence of any Landlord
Default and Landlord, before the expiration of the applicable cure period, shall
give written notice thereof to Tenant,  setting forth, in reasonable detail, the
basis  therefor,  no  Landlord  Default  shall be  deemed to have  occurred  and
Landlord  shall have no  obligation  with respect  thereto  until final  adverse
determination  thereof.  If Tenant and Landlord  shall fail,  in good faith,  to
resolve the dispute  within  five (5) days after  Landlord's  notice of dispute,
either may submit the matter to arbitration  for  resolution in accordance  with
the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration  Association.  Such
arbitration  shall be final and  binding on  Landlord  and  Tenant and  judgment
thereon may be entered into any court of competent jurisdiction. Within five (5)
days after  submission  to  arbitration,  Landlord  and Tenant  shall submit all
information  required  for such  arbitration  and shall  take all other  actions
required for such arbitration to proceed and the arbitrators shall be instructed
to render a  determination  as soon as possible  and in any event not later than
thirty (30) days after submission.

                              PURCHASE OF PREMISES

         In the event Tenant shall  purchase the Leased  Property  from Landlord
pursuant to any of the terms of this Lease,  Landlord  shall,  upon receipt from
Tenant of the  applicable  purchase  price,  together  with full  payment of any
unpaid Rent and other  charges due and payable with respect to any period ending
on or before  the date of the  purchase,  deliver  to  Tenant a title  insurance
policy,  together with an appropriate deed or other  instruments,  conveying the
entire  interest of Landlord in and to the Leased  Property to Tenant,  free and
clear of all  encumbrances  other than (a) those Tenant has agreed  hereunder to
pay or discharge, (b) those liens, if any, which Tenant has agreed in writing to
accept and take title  subject to, (c) the Permitted  Encumbrances,  and (d) any
other  encumbrances  permitted to be imposed on the Leased Property (x) pursuant
to the terms of this Lease or (y)  otherwise  permitted to be imposed  under the



                                      -38-
<PAGE>

provisions  of Section 21.1 which are assumable at no cost to Tenant or to which
Tenant may take  subject  without  cost to Tenant.  The  difference  between the
applicable  purchase  price and the total of the  encumbrances  assumed or taken
subject to shall be paid in cash to  Landlord  or as  Landlord  may  direct,  in
federal or other immediately available funds. The closing of any such sale shall
be contingent upon and subject to Tenant's  obtaining all required  governmental
consents  and  approvals  for such  transfer  and if such sale  shall fail to be
consummated  by reason of the  inability of Tenant to obtain all such  approvals
and consents, any options to extend the Term of this Lease which otherwise would
have expired  during the escrow  period of such proposed sale shall be deemed to
remain in effect for 30 days after  termination  thereof.  All  expenses of such
conveyance,  including,  without  limitation,  the cost of title  examination or
standard coverage title insurance,  usually paid by a purchaser of real property
in the State shall be paid by Tenant;  all expenses of such  conveyance  usually
paid by a seller of real property in the State shall be paid by Landlord.

                                   ARTICLE 16

                SUBSTITUTION OF PROPERTY FOR THE LEASED PROPERTY

         16.1  Tenant's  Substitution  Option.  Provided  (a) in the good  faith
judgment of Tenant,  the Leased Property shall become Unsuitable for its Primary
Intended  Use,  (b) no Default or Event of Default  shall have  occurred  and be
continuing,  and (c) not less than one (1) year shall remain in the Term, Tenant
shall have the right,  subject to the  conditions  set forth in this Article 16,
upon not less than  thirty  (30) days  prior  written  notice  to  Landlord,  to
substitute one or more properties (collectively,  the "Substitute Properties" or
individually,  "Substitute  Property") on the date specified in such notice (the
"Substitution  Date");  provided,  however,  that if Tenant is required by court
order or  administrative  action to divest or  otherwise  dispose  of the Leased
Property  in less than  thirty  (30) days and Tenant  shall have given  Landlord
prior written  notice of the filing of such court or  administrative  action and
kept Landlord reasonably  apprised of the status thereof,  the time period shall
be shortened  appropriately  to meet the reasonable  needs of Tenant,  but in no
event less than ten (10)  Business  Days after the  receipt by  Landlord of such
notice. Such notice shall include (a) an Officer's Certificate, setting forth in
reasonable   detail  the  reason(s)  for  the   substitution  and  the  proposed
Substitution  Date, and (b) designate not less than two properties (or groups of
properties),  each of which  properties (or groups of properties)  shall provide
Landlord  with a yield  (i.e.,  annual  return on its  equity in such  property)
substantially  equivalent  to Landlord's  yield from the Leased  Property at the
time of such proposed  substitution  (or in the case of substitution  because of
damage  or  destruction,   the  yield   immediately  prior  to  such  damage  or
destruction)  and as reasonably  projected over the remaining Term of this Lease
(and giving effect to projected residual values).

         16.2 Substitution Procedures.

                  (a) If  Tenant  shall  initiate  a  substitution  pursuant  to
         Section 16.1 or 16.2,  Landlord shall have a period of thirty (30) days
         within which to review the designated  properties  and such  additional
         information  and either accept or reject the  Substitute  Properties so
         presented, unless Tenant 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



                                      -39-
<PAGE>

         needs of Tenant,  but in no event  shall such  period be less than five
         (5) Business Days after  Landlord's  actual receipt of Tenant's  notice
         (subject to further  extension for any period of time in which Landlord
         is not  timely  provided  with  the  information  provided  for in this
         Section  16.3 and Section  16.4  below).  Landlord and Tenant shall use
         good faith efforts to agree on a Substitute Property.

                  (b) In the event  that,  on or before  the  expiration  of the
         applicable  time period for  Landlord's  review,  Landlord has rejected
         both of the  Substitute  Properties so presented,  Tenant shall,  for a
         period of sixty (60) days after the expiration of such period, have the
         right to terminate this Lease,  by the giving of written notice thereof
         to Landlord, accompanied by an offer to purchase the Leased Property on
         the date set forth in such  notice,  but in no event  less than  ninety
         (90) days thereafter,  for a purchase price equal to the greater of the
         then Fair Market Value Purchase Price or the Minimum  Repurchase Price,
         and,  subject  to the  provisions  of  Article  15,  this  Lease  shall
         terminate on such purchase date.

                  (c) Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to an
         offer by Tenant to  substitute  a property as set forth in this Article
         provided (i) Landlord  shall  determine the  Substitute  Property shall
         provide  Landlord with a yield  substantially  equivalent to Landlord's
         yield from the Leased Property  immediately before such substitution or
         such damage or  destruction,  as the case may be, and as projected over
         the  remainder  of the  Term and (ii) the  delivery  of an  opinion  of
         counsel  for  Landlord  confirming  that  (w) 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", no gain or loss will be recognized
         by Landlord, (x) the substitution will not result in ordinary recapture
         income to Landlord  pursuant to Section  1250(d)(4)  of the Code or any
         other  provision  of the  Code,  (y) the  substitution  will  result in
         income, if any, to Landlord of a type described in Section 856(c)(2) or
         (3) of the Code and will not result in income of the types described in
         Section  856(c)(4)  of the  Code or  result  in the tax  imposed  under
         Section 857(b)(6) of the Code, and (z) the substitution,  together with
         all  other  substitutions  made or  requested  by  Tenant of all or any
         portion of the Leased  Property  during the relevant time period,  will
         not  jeopardize  the   qualification  of  Landlord  as  a  real  estate
         investment trust under Sections 856-860 of the Code.

                  (d) In the  event  that  the  then  Fair  Market  Value of the
         Substitute  Property  or  group  of  Substitute  Properties  minus  the
         encumbrances assumed by Landlord, or as to which Landlord will take the
         Substitute  Property or group of Substitute  Properties  subject, as of
         the Substitution Date is greater than the then Fair Market Value of the
         Leased  Property  minus the  encumbrances  assumed by Tenant,  or as to
         which the  Tenant  will take the  Leased  Property  subject,  as of the
         Substitution  Date (or in the case of damage or  destruction,  the Fair
         Market Value immediately prior to such damage or destruction), Landlord
         shall pay to Tenant an amount equal to the  difference,  subject to the
         limitation  set  forth  below;  in the  event  that  such  value of the
         Substitute Property or group of Substitute Properties is less than such
         value of the Leased  Property,  Tenant  shall pay to Landlord an amount
         equal to the  difference,  subject to the  limitation  set forth below;
         provided,  however,  neither  Landlord nor Tenant shall be obligated to
         consummate such  substitution if such party would be required to make a
         payment  (the  "Cash



                                      -40-
<PAGE>

         Adjustment")  to the other in excess of an amount equal to five percent
         (5%) of the Fair Market Value of the Leased Property.

                  (e) The  Rent  for  such  Substitute  Property  shall,  in all
         respects,  provide  Landlord  with a yield (i.e.,  annual return on its
         equity in such property)  substantially  equivalent to Landlord's yield
         from the Leased  Property at the time of such  substitution  (or in the
         case of  substitution  because  of  damage  or  destruction  the  yield
         immediately  prior to such  damage or  destruction)  and as  reasonably
         projected  over  the  remaining  Term,  taking  into  account  the Cash
         Adjustment paid or received by Landlord and any other relevant factors,
         as reasonably determined by Landlord.

                  (f) The Minimum  Repurchase  Price of the Substitute  Property
         shall be an amount equal to the Minimum  Repurchase Price of the Leased
         Property (i) increased by any Cash Adjustment paid by Landlord pursuant
         to paragraph (d) above,  or (ii) decreased by any Cash  Adjustment paid
         by Tenant pursuant to paragraph (d) above.

         16.3  Conditions  to  Substitution.   On  the  Substitution  Date,  the
Substitute Property shall become the Leased Property hereunder, upon delivery by
Tenant to Landlord of the following:

                  (a)  an  Officer's   Certificate   certifying   that  (i)  the

                            SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT

         17.1 Subletting and Assignment.  Except as hereinafter provided, Tenant
shall not assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate,  encumber or otherwise transfer
this Lease or sublease  (which  term shall be deemed to include the  granting of
concessions and licenses and the like) all or any part of the Leased Property or
suffer or permit this Lease or the leasehold  estate hereby created or any other
rights arising under this Lease to be assigned, transferred, mortgaged, pledged,
hypothecated  or  encumbered,   in  whole  or  in  part,  whether   voluntarily,
involuntarily  or by  operation  of law, or permit the use or  occupancy  of the
Leased  Property  by anyone  other than  Tenant,  or the Leased  Property  to be
offered  or  advertised  for  assignment  or  subletting  except as  hereinafter
provided.  For purposes of this Section  17.1, an assignment of this Lease shall
be deemed to  include  any  transaction  pursuant  to which  Tenant is merged or
consolidated  with another entity or pursuant to which all or substantially  all
of Tenant's assets are transferred to any other entity,  as if such  transaction
were an assignment of this Lease.

         If this Lease is assigned or if the Leased Property or any part thereof
are  sublet  (or  occupied  by anybody  other  than  Tenant  and its  employees)
Landlord,  after  default by Tenant  hereunder,  may collect the rents from such
assignee,  subtenant or  occupant,  as the case may be, and apply the net amount
collected to the Rent herein reserved,  but no such collection shall be deemed a
waiver of the provisions set forth in the first  paragraph of this Section 17.1,
the acceptance by Landlord of such assignee,  subtenant or occupant, as the case
may be, as a tenant,  or a release  of Tenant  from the  future  performance  by
Tenant of its covenants, agreements or obligations contained in this Lease.

         No  subletting  or  assignment  shall in any way impair the  continuing
primary  liability  of Tenant  hereunder,  and no consent to any  subletting  or
assignment  in a  particular  instance  shall be  deemed  to be a waiver  of the
obligation to obtain the  Landlord's  written  approval in the case of any other
subletting or assignment.  No assignment,  subletting or occupancy  shall affect
the Primary  Intended  Use.  Any  subletting,  assignment  or other  transfer of
Tenant's  interest in this Lease in  contravention of this Section 17.1 shall be
voidable at Landlord's option.

         Tenant shall have the right,  without the consent of  Landlord,  (A) to
assign  Tenant's  interest in this Lease to a corporation  or other entity which
shall (1) control,  (2) be under the control of, or (3) be under common  control
with the Tenant (the term  "control" and  "controlling"  as used herein shall be
deemed to mean ownership or control (direct or indirect) of more than 50% of the
outstanding  voting  stock  of a  corporation,  or an  equivalent  majority  and
controlling  interest  in  another  form of  entity)  (any such  entity  being a
"Related  Entity");  (B) to  sublease  all or part of the Leased  Property  to a
Related  Entity;  and  (C)  to  grant  concessions  and  licenses  (subject  and
subordinate  to this Lease and to the  matters to which the Lease is subject and
subordinate),  in the ordinary course of Tenant's business,  for portions of the
Leased Property to be used in connection with Tenant's Primary Intended Use.

         If  the  rent  and  other  sums  (including,  without  limitation,  the
reasonable  value of any  services  performed  by any  assignee or  subtenant in
consideration  of such assignment or sublease) either initially or over the term
of any assignment or sublease (excluding any


                                      -43-
<PAGE>

assignment  or  sublease  to a Related  Entity),  payable  by such  assignee  or
subtenant  on account of an  assignment  or sublease  exceed the Rent called for
hereunder  with  respect to the space  assigned or sublet,  Tenant  shall pay to
Landlord as Additional Rent one hundred percent (100%) of such excess net of the
costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in procuring such sublease payable monthly
at the time for payment Minimum Rent.

         17.2 Required Sublease  Provisions.  Any sublease of all or any portion
of the Leased  Property shall provide that it is subject and subordinate to this
Lease  and to the  matters  to  which  this  Lease is or  shall  be  subject  or
subordinate,  and that in the event of  termination  of this Lease or reentry or
dispossession  of Tenant by  Landlord  under this  Lease,  Landlord  may, at its
option,  take over all of the right,  title and interest of Tenant, as sublessor
under such sublease,  and such subtenant shall, at Landlord's option,  attorn to
Landlord pursuant to the then executory provisions of such sublease, except that
neither  Landlord  nor any  Facility  Mortgagee,  as holder of a mortgage  or as
Landlord under this Lease,  if such mortgagee  succeeds to that position,  shall
(a) be liable for any act or  omission  of Tenant  under such  sublease,  (b) be
subject to any credit, counterclaim, offset or defense which theretofore accrued
to such subtenant against Tenant,  (c) be bound by any previous  modification of
such  sublease or by any previous  prepayment of more than one (1) month's rent,
(d) be bound by any covenant of Tenant to undertake or complete any-construction
of the Leased  Property or any portion  thereof,  (e) be required to account for
any security  deposit of the subtenant other than any security  deposit actually
delivered  to Landlord  by Tenant,  (f) be bound by any  obligation  to make any
payment to such  subtenant or grant any credits,  except for services,  repairs,
maintenance  and  restoration  provided  for under the  sublease to be performed
after the date of such  attornment,  (g) be responsible  for any monies owing by
Tenant to the credit of such Subtenant,  or (h) be required to remove any person
occupying  the Leased  Property or any part  thereof;  and such  sublease  shall
provide that the subtenant thereunder shall, at the request of Landlord, execute
a  suitable  instrument  in  confirmation  of  such  agreement  to  attorn.  The
provisions of this paragraph  shall not be deemed a waiver of the provisions set
forth in the first paragraph of Section 17.1.

         17.3  Sublease  Limitation.  Anything  contained  in this  Lease to the
contrary notwithstanding, (a) Tenant shall not sublet the Leased 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 (i) the income or profits  derived by the
business  activities of the  sublessee,  or (ii) 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  and (b) Tenant  will  neither  assign  (including
through  merger or  consolidation)  or sublet the Leased  Property to any Person
performing  management or servicing  functions to, or on behalf of,  Landlord or
any  Affiliated  Person  thereof if either  Landlord  or its  Affiliated  Person
intends such Person to qualify as an "independent  contractor from whom" neither
Landlord  nor any  Affiliated  Person  thereof  "derives or receives any income"
within the meaning of Section 856 of the Code, nor will Tenant acquire any asset
or enter into any merger, consolidation or other transactions that would require
it to perform such functions in the capacity of a Person that either Landlord or
any Affiliated  Person thereof  intends to be an  "independent  contractor  from
whom"  neither  Landlord  nor any  Affiliated  Person  "derives or receives  any
income" within the meaning of Section 856 of the Code.

         17.4 Assignment and Subletting  Procedure.  Anything  contained in this
Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, if Tenant wishes to enter into a sublease
with  respect to any  portion of the Leased  Property or an  assignment  of this
Lease, Tenant shall give Landlord notice of such intent, which notice ("Tenant's
Notice")  shall  state,  in the event of a proposed  sublease,  the location and
amount of area  intended  to be  covered  by such  sublease  and the term of the
proposed  sublease,  the proposed effective date of such sublease or assignment,
and the  identity  of  such  proposed  subtenant  or  assignee  and  such  other
information  with respect thereto as Landlord may reasonably  require.  Landlord
shall not  unreasonably  withhold  its  consent to any  proposed  assignment  or
sublease,  and  Landlord  shall be  deemed  to have  consented  to any  proposed
assignment  or sublease  with a Related  Entity,  provided that in any such case
Tenant shall  deliver to Landlord a written  instrument,  in form and  substance
reasonably  satisfactory  to Landlord,  pursuant to which such  assignee  agrees
directly  with  Landlord  to be bound by all the  terms of this  Lease and to be
jointly and severally liable with Tenant for all of Tenant's  obligations  under
this Lease.

                                 LANDLORD ACCESS

         19.1 Landlord's Right to Inspect.  Tenant shall permit Landlord and its
authorized  representatives to inspect the Leased Property during usual business
hours,  and to do and make such  repairs as Landlord is permitted or required to

                                    APPRAISAL

         20.1  Appraisal  Procedure.  In the event that it becomes  necessary to
determine the Fair Market Value, Fair Market Value Purchase Price or Fair Market
Rental 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 (the "Initiating  Party") shall include in such notice the name of
a designated Qualified Appraiser  (hereinafter defined) on its behalf. Within 10
days after notice,  the party  receiving  such notice (the  "Responding  Party")
shall, by written notice to the other, appoint a second Qualified Appraiser.  If
the Responding Party shall fail, neglect or refuse within said ten-day period to
designate another  appraiser willing so to act, the appraiser  designated by the
Initiating Party shall designate the second Qualified  Appraiser within ten (10)
days  thereafter.  The two  appraisers so designated  shall meet within ten (10)
days after the second  appraiser  is  designated,  and,  if within ten (10) days
after the second  appraiser is designated,  the two appraisers do not agree upon
the Fair Market Value,  Fair Market Value  Purchase Price or Fair Market Rental,
as the case may be, of the applicable  property as of the relevant date, the two
appraisers  shall  designate a third Qualified  Appraiser,  within ten (10) days
thereafter.  In the event that the two  appraisers  are unable to agree upon the
appointment  of a third  Qualified  Appraiser  within  such ten (10) day period,
either  Landlord or Tenant,  on behalf of both, may then request  appointment of
such appraiser the then president of the American  Arbitration  Association.  In
the event of a failure,  refusal or  inability  of any  appraiser  to act, a new
appraiser shall be appointed in his stead,  which  appointment  shall be made in
the same manner as hereinabove provided for the appointment of such appraiser so
failing,  refusing  or being  unable to act.  In the event  that all  appraisers
cannot agree upon such value ten (10) days as aforesaid,  each  appraiser  shall
submit his appraisal of such value to the other two  appraisers in writing,  and
such value shall be determined by calculating the average of the two numerically
closest (or, if the values are equidistant,  all three) values determined by the
three appraisers.

         The costs,  other than counsel fees, of such  appraisal  shall be borne
equally by the  parties.  Upon  determining  such value,  the  appraisers  shall
promptly  notify  Landlord and Tenant in writing of such  determination.  If any
party shall fail to appear at the  hearings  appointed  by the  appraisers,  the
appraisers may act in the absence of such party.

         The  determination of the board of appraisers (or the single additional
Qualified  Appraiser,  as  appropriate)  made in  accordance  with the foregoing
provisions shall be final and binding upon the parties,  such  determination may
be entered as an award in arbitration in a court of competent jurisdiction,  and
judgment thereon may be entered.

                                   ARTICLE 21

                                    MORTGAGES

         21.1 Landlord May Grant Liens. Without the consent of Tenant,  Landlord
may,  subject to the terms and conditions  set forth in this Section 21.1,  from
time to time,  directly or  indirectly,  create or otherwise  cause to exist any
lien,  encumbrance or title retention agreement  ("Encumbrance") upon the Leased
Property,  or any  portion  thereof or interest  therein,  whether to


                                      -47-
<PAGE>

secure any  borrowing  or other  means of  financing  or  refinancing.  Any such
Encumbrance,  other  than  one  the  proceeds  of  which  are  used  to  finance
construction  of a Capital  Addition  pursuant to the provisions of Sections 6.1
and 6,3,  shall  include  the  right to  prepay  (whether  or not  subject  to a
prepayment  penalty)  and shall  provide  (subject  to Section  21.2) that it is
subject to the rights of Tenant under this Lease.

         21.2  Subordination  of Lease.  Subject  to  Section  21.1 and the last
paragraph of this Section 21.2, this Lease, and all rights of Tenant  hereunder,
are and shall be subject and subordinate to any ground or master lease,  and all
renewals,  extensions,  modifications  and  replacements  thereof,  and  to  all
mortgages  and deeds of trust,  which may now or  hereafter  affect  the  Leased
Property or any improvements  thereon and/or any of such leases,  whether or not
such  mortgages or deeds of trust shall also cover other lands and/or  buildings
and/or leases, to each and every advance made or hereafter to be made under such
mortgages and deeds of trust, and to all renewals,  modifications,  replacements
and  extensions  of such  leases and such  mortgages  and deeds of trust and all
consolidations  of such  mortgages  and deeds of trust.  This  section  shall be
self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required.  In
confirmation of such  subordination  Tenant shall promptly execute,  acknowledge
and deliver any instrument that Landlord, the lessor under any such lease or the
holder of any such mortgage or the trustee or  beneficiary  of any deed of trust
or any of their  respective  successors  in interest may  reasonably  request to
evidence  such  subordination.  Any  lease to which  this  Lease is, at the time
referred to, subject and subordinate is herein called  "Superior  Lease" and the
lessor of a Superior Lease or its successor in interest at the time referred to,
is herein called "Superior  Landlord" and any mortgage or deed of trust to which
this Lease is, at the time  referred  to,  subject  and  subordinate,  is herein
called "Superior Mortgage" and the holder,  trustee or beneficiary of a Superior
Mortgage is herein called "Superior Mortgagee".

         If any  Superior  Landlord  or  Superior  Mortgagee  or the  nominee or
designee of any Superior  Landlord or Superior  Mortgagee  shall  succeed to the
rights of Landlord under this Lease,  whether through  possession or foreclosure
action or delivery of a new lease or deed, or otherwise,  then at the request of
such  party  so  succeeding  to  Landlord's  rights  (herein  called  "Successor
Landlord")  and upon  such  Successor  Landlord's  written  agreement  to accept
Tenant's  attornment,  Tenant  shall  attorn  to and  recognize  such  Successor
Landlord as Tenant's  landlord under this Lease and shall  promptly  execute and
deliver any instrument  that such Successor  Landlord may reasonably  request to
evidence such attornment. Upon such attornment this Lease shall continue in full
force and effect as a direct  lease  between the  Successor  Landlord and Tenant
upon all of the terms,  conditions and covenants as are set forth in this Lease,
except that the  Successor  Landlord  (unless  formerly the landlord  under this
Lease or its nominee or  designee)  shall not be (a) liable in any way to Tenant
for any act or omission,  neglect or default on the, part of Landlord under this
Lease,  (b)  responsible  for any monies owing by or on deposit with Landlord to
the  credit  of  Tenant,  (c)  subject  to  any  counterclaim  or  setoff  which
theretofore accrued to Tenant against Landlord, (d) bound by any modification of
this Lease  subsequent  to such Superior  Lease or Mortgage,  or by any previous
prepayment  of Minimum Rent for more than one (1) month,  which was not approved
in writing by the  Superior  Landlord or the  Superior  Mortgagee  thereto,  (e)
liable to the Tenant  beyond the  Successor  Landlord's  interest  in the Leased
Property and the rents, income, receipts,  revenues,  issues and profits issuing
from the Leased Property,  (f) responsible for the performance of any work to be
done by the Landlord  under this Lease to render the Leased  Property  ready for
occupancy by Tenant,  or (g) required to


                                      -48-
<PAGE>

remove any person  occupying the Leased Property or any part thereof,  except if
such person claims by, through or under the Successor Landlord. Tenant agrees at
any time and from time to time to execute a suitable  instrument in confirmation
of Tenant's agreement to attorn, as aforesaid.

         Tenant's  obligation  to  subordinate  this Lease and  Tenant's  rights
hereunder to any Superior  Mortgage or Superior Lease shall be conditioned  upon
Landlord  obtaining  from  any  Superior  Mortgagee  or  Superior  Landlord,  an
agreement  which  shall be  executed by Tenant and such  Superior  Mortgagee  or
Superior  Landlord  which shall provide in substance that so long as no Event of
Default  exists as would  entitle  Landlord or any such  Superior  Mortgagee  or
Superior  Landlord to terminate  this Lease or would cause,  without any further
action  of  Landlord  or such  Superior  Mortgagee  or  Superior  Landlord,  the
termination of this Lease or would entitle  Landlord or such Superior  Mortgagee
or Superior Landlord to dispossess  Tenant,  this Lease shall not be terminated,
nor shall  Tenant's  use,  possession  or enjoyment of the Leased  Property,  in
accordance with the terms and provisions of this Lease, be interfered  with, nor
shall the  leasehold  estate  granted  by this  Lease be  affected  in any other
manner,  in any foreclosure or any action or proceeding  instituted  under or in
connection  with such Superior  Mortgage or Superior Lease, or in the event such
Superior  Mortgagee or Superior Landlord takes possession of the Leased Property
pursuant to any provisions of such Superior  Mortgage or Superior Lease,  unless
Landlord or such  Superior  Mortgagee or Superior  Landlord  would have had such
right of termination  pursuant to this Lease.  Such  agreement  shall be in form
customarily used by the holder of any such Superior Mortgage or Superior Lease.

         21.3 Notice to Mortgagee and Ground Landlord. Subsequent to the receipt
by Tenant of notice from any person,  firm or other entity that it is a Facility
Mortgagee,  or that it is the  ground  lessor  under a lease with  Landlord,  as
ground  lessee,  which  includes  the  Leased  Property  as part of the  demised
premises,  no notice from Tenant to Landlord shall be effective unless and until
a copy of the same is given to such Facility  Mortgagee or ground lessor and the
curing of any of Landlord's defaults by such Facility Mortgagee or ground lessor
shall be treated as performance by Landlord.

                         ADDITIONAL COVENANTS OF TENANT

Facility,  (c) the number of beds in any bed  category for which the Facility is

liability  equal to or greater than $250,000,  or which may otherwise  result in
any material adverse change in the business,  operations,  property,


                                      -49-

Forthwith upon Tenant obtaining knowledge of any Default or Event of Default, or
any event or  condition  that would be  required  to be  disclosed  in a current
report  filed by Tenant on Form 8-K or in Part II of a quarterly  report on Form
10-Q if Tenant were required to file such reports under the Securities  Exchange
Act, of 1934,  as amended,  Tenant shall give  Landlord  notice  thereof,  which
notice shall set forth in  reasonable  detail the nature and period of existence
thereof and what  action  Tenant has taken or is taking or proposes to take with
respect thereto.

         22.3 Distributions,  Payments to Affiliated  Persons,  Etc. Tenant will
not declare, order, pay or make, directly or indirectly, any distribution or any
payment  to any  Affiliated  Person  as to  Tenant  (including  payments  in the
ordinary course of business and payment  pursuant to management  agreements with
any such Affiliated Person) or set apart any sum or property therefor,  or agree
to do so, if, at the time of such proposed action,  or immediately  after giving
effect thereto,  any event or condition shall exist which  constitutes a Default
(as to which Landlord has given notice to Tenant) or an Event of Default.

                                   ARTICLE 23

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         23.1 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
consequent upon a breach  thereof,  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 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.

         23.2 Remedies  Cumulative.  To the extent permitted by law, each legal,
equitable or contractual right,  power and remedy of Landlord,  now or hereafter

valid or effective  unless  agreed to and accepted in writing by Landlord and no
act by Landlord or any  representative  or agent of Landlord,  other than such a
written  acceptance  by Landlord,  shall  constitute  an  acceptance of any such

firm,  corporation  or  other  entity  may  acquire,  own or hold,  directly  or

Leased  Property 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 Landlord  hereunder
arising or accruing  from and after the date of such  conveyance or transfer and
shall be reasonably capable of performing the obligations of Landlord hereunder,
Landlord  or such  successor  owner,  as the case  may be,  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

other action by Landlord or anyone claiming by, through or under  Landlord,  but
subject  to all  liens  and  encumbrances  of  record  as of the date  hereof or
hereafter consented to by Tenant. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, no
failure by Landlord to comply with the foregoing  covenant shall give Tenant any
right to cancel or  terminate  this Lease or abate,  reduce or make a  deduction
from or offset against the Rent or any other sum payable under this Lease, or to
fail to perform any other obligation of Tenant  hereunder.  Notwithstanding  the
foregoing,  Tenant shall have the right, by separate and  independent  action to
pursue  any  claim it may have  against  Landlord  as a  result  of a breach  by
Landlord of the covenant of quiet enjoyment contained in this Section.

         23.7 Landlord's Liability.  THE DECLARATION OF TRUST OF LANDLORD, DATED
________________,  1999, A COPY OF WHICH,  TOGETHER WITH ALL AMENDMENTS  THERETO
(THE  "DECLARATION"),  IS  DULY  FILED  IN  THE  OFFICE  OF  THE  DEPARTMENT  OF
ASSESSMENTS AND TAXATION OF THE STATE OF MARYLAND, PROVIDES THAT THE NAME "HRES1
PROPERTIES  TRUST" REFERS TO THE TRUSTEES UNDER THE DECLARATION  COLLECTIVELY AS
TRUSTEES,  BUT NOT  INDIVIDUALLY  OR PERSONALLY,  AND THAT NO TRUSTEE,  OFFICER,
SHAREHOLDER,  EMPLOYEE  OR  AGENT  OF  LANDLORD  SHALL  BE HELD TO ANY  PERSONAL
LIABILITY,  JOINTLY  OR  SEVERALLY,  FOR ANY  OBLIGATION  OF, OR CLAIM  AGAINST,
LANDLORD.  ALL PERSONS DEALING WITH LANDLORD, IN ANY WAY, SHALL LOOK ONLY TO THE
ASSETS  OF  LANDLORD,  FOR  THE  PAYMENT  OF ANY SUM OR THE  PERFORMANCE  OF ANY
OBLIGATION.  Tenant,  its successors  and assigns,  shall not assert nor seek to
enforce  any claim for breach of this Lease  against  any of  Landlord's  assets
other than Landlord's  interest in the Leased Property and in the rents,  issues
and profits  thereof,  and Tenant agrees to look solely to such interest for the
satisfaction  of any liability or claim against  Landlord  under this Lease,  it
being specifically agreed that in no event whatsoever shall Landlord (which term
shall include,  without  limitation,  any general or limited partner,  trustees,
beneficiaries,  officers,  directors,  or  stockholders  of  Landlord)  ever  be
personally  liable for any such  liability.  In no event shall  Landlord ever be
liable to Tenant for any indirect or consequential damages.

         23.8 Landlord's  Consent.  Where  provisions are made in this Lease for
Landlord's  consent  and  Landlord  shall fail or refuse to give such,  consent,
Tenant shall not be entitled to any damages for any  withholding  by Landlord of
its consent,  it being intended that Tenant's sole


                                      -51-

remedy shall be an action for specific performance or injunction,  and that such
remedy  shall be  available  only in those cases where  Landlord  has  expressly
agreed in writing not to unreasonably withhold its consent.

         23.9 Memorandum of Lease. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall record this
Lease. However,  Landlord and Tenant 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
contained  herein,  shall be made.  Tenant  shall pay all costs and  expenses of
recording such memorandum of this Lease.

         23.10 Notices.

                  (a) Any and all notices, demands, consents, approvals, offers,
         elections  and other  communications  required or permitted  under this
         Lease shall be deemed adequately given if in writing and the same shall
         be delivered either in hand, by telecopier with written  acknowledgment
         of  receipt,  or by  mail  or  Federal  Express  or  similar  expedited
         commercial carrier,  addressed to the recipient of the notice, postpaid
         and registered or certified with return receipt requested (if by mail),
         or with all freight  charges  prepaid (if by Federal Express or similar

                  (b) All notices  required or  permitted  to be sent  hereunder
         shall be deemed to have been given for all  purposes of this Lease upon
         the  date  of  acknowledged  receipt,  in  the  case  of  a  notice  by
         telecopier,  and,  in all  other  cases,  upon the date of  receipt  or
         refusal,  except  that  whenever  under  this  Lease a notice is either
         received  on a day which is not a  Business  Day or is  required  to be
         delivered on or before a specific day which is not a Business  Day, the
         day of receipt or required delivery shall  automatically be extended to
         the next Business Day.

         23.11  Construction.  Anything  contained in this Lease to the contrary
notwithstanding,  all claims  against,  and  liabilities  of, Tenant or Landlord

applied and  enforced in  accordance  with the laws of the State  applicable  to

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and
valuable   consideration,   the  receipt  and   adequacy  of  which  are  hereby
acknowledged, Guarantor hereby agrees with Landlord as follows:

1. Defined Terms.  Unless otherwise  defined herein,  terms which are defined in
the Lease and used herein are so used as so defined. In addition,  the following
terms shall have the meanings set forth below:

                  "Consolidated  Financials"  shall mean, for any fiscal year or
         other accounting period of Guarantor and its consolidated Subsidiaries,

         Securities  and  Exchange  Act  of  1934,  as  amended,  or  comparable
         financial statement.

                  "Lease Documents" shall mean, collectively,  the Lease and any
         sublease  or  assumption  of lease  entered  into by a  Related  Entity
         pursuant  to Article 17 of the Lease,  as any of the same may from time
         to time be amended, modified or supplemented.

                   "Material  Adverse Effect" means a material adverse effect on
         (a)  the  business,  operations,   property,  condition  (financial  or
         otherwise)  or prospects of Guarantor and its  Subsidiaries  taken as a
         whole,  (b) the ability of Guarantor to perform its  obligations  under
         this Guaranty,  or (c) the validity or enforceability of this Guaranty,
         or the rights of Landlord hereunder.

                  "Obligations"  shall mean the payment and  performance of each
         and every  obligation  and  liability  of Tenant  (and each of them) to
         Landlord  under any Lease  Document,  whether now existing or hereafter
         arising or created, joint or several,  direct or indirect,  absolute or
         contingent,  due or to become due, matured or unmatured,  liquidated or
         unliquidated,  arising by contract,  operation of law or otherwise, and
         including,  without  limitation,  all Minimum Rent and Additional  Rent
         under the Lease, and all fees and charges,  and all costs and expenses,
         payable under any Lease Document.

                   "Subsidiary"  shall mean any  corporation  of which more than
         fifty percent of the  outstanding  capital stock having ordinary voting
         power to elect a majority of the Board of Directors of such corporation
         (irrespective  of whether or not at the time capital stock of any other
         class or classes of such  corporation  shall or might have voting power
         upon the  occurrence  of any  contingency)  is at the time  directly or
         indirectly  owned by  Guarantor,  or  Guarantor  and one or more  other
         Subsidiaries, or by one or more Subsidiaries.



                                      -2-
<PAGE>

                  "Tenant"  shall mean and be a reference to each of IHS 135 and
         any  Related  Entity (as such term is  defined  in Section  17.1 of the
         Lease)  that is an  assignee  of IHS 135's  interest  in the Lease or a
         sublessee of any portion of the Leased Property from IHS 135.

2. Guaranty.  The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to
Landlord the prompt and complete  payment and  performance  by Tenant,  when due
(whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise),  of the Obligations.
The Guarantor further agrees to pay any and all reasonable expenses  (including,
without  limitation,  all  reasonable  fees  and  disbursements  of  counsel  to
Landlord)  which may be paid or incurred by  Landlord  in  enforcing  any of its
rights under this  Guaranty.  This  Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of
collectibility  and is absolute and in no way  conditional  or  contingent.  The
Guarantor's  liability hereunder is direct and unconditional and may be enforced
after nonpayment or nonperformance by Tenant of any Obligation without requiring
Landlord to resort to any other Person (including  without limitation Tenant) or
any other right, remedy or collateral.  This Guaranty shall remain in full force
and effect until the  Obligations  are paid in full following the termination of
all Lease Documents.

3. Costs and Expenses of Collection.  The Guarantor agrees, as principal obligor
and not as a  guarantor  only,  to pay to Landlord  forthwith  upon  demand,  in
immediately  available  funds,  all  reasonable  costs and expenses  (including,
without limitation, all court costs and all reasonable fees and disbursements of
counsel to  Landlord)  incurred or expended by Landlord in  connection  with the
enforcement  of this  Guaranty,  together with interest on such amounts from the
time such amounts  become due until  payment at the Overdue  Rate. It shall be a
condition of the  obligations of Guarantor to pay any fees and expenses  payable
by it under this  Guaranty  that  Landlord  shall have,  or shall have caused to
have,  provided Guarantor with a writing describing such fees and/or expenses in
reasonable detail.

4. Subrogation and Contribution.  Until the Obligations shall have been paid and
performed  in full  after  the  termination  of the Lease  Documents,  Guarantor
irrevocably  and  unconditionally  waives  any and all rights to which it may be
entitled,  by operation of law or otherwise,  to be subrogated,  with respect to
any payment  made by  Guarantor  hereunder,  to the rights of  Landlord  against
Tenant,  or otherwise to be  reimbursed,  indemnified or exonerated by Tenant in
respect thereof or to receive any payment,  in the nature of contribution or for
any other reason,  from any other guarantor of the  Obligations  with respect to
any payment made by Guarantor  hereunder.  Until the Obligations shall have been
paid and  performed  in full  after  the  termination  of the  Lease  Documents,
Guarantor  waives any defense it may have based upon any election of remedies by
Landlord which impairs  Guarantor's  subrogation rights or Guarantor's rights to
proceed against Tenant for reimbursement  (including without limitation any loss
of rights  Guarantor  may suffer by reason of any rights,  powers or remedies of
Tenant in connection with any  anti-deficiency  laws or any other laws limiting,
qualifying or discharging any  indebtedness to Landlord).  Until the Obligations
shall have been paid,  performed and satisfied in full after the  termination of
the Lease  Documents,  Guarantor  further waives any right to enforce any remedy
which  Landlord  now has or may in the future  have  against  Tenant,  any other
guarantor  or any other  Person and any benefit of, or any right to  participate
in, any security whatsoever now or in the future held by Landlord.



                                      -3-

5.  Effect of  Bankruptcy  Stay.  If  acceleration  of the time for  payment  or
performance of any of the Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency,  bankruptcy
or reorganization  of Tenant or any other Person or otherwise,  all such amounts
otherwise  subject to  acceleration  shall  nonetheless  be payable by Guarantor
under this Guaranty forthwith upon demand.

6. Receipt of Lease Documents, etc. Guarantor confirms,  represents and warrants
to Landlord that (i) it has received true and complete  copies of all the Lease,
and has read the contents  thereof and  reviewed the same with legal  counsel of
its choice;  (ii) no representations or agreements of any kind have been made to
Guarantor  which would  limit or qualify in any way the terms of this  Guaranty;
(iii)   Landlord   has  made  no   representation   to   Guarantor   as  to  the
creditworthiness  of IHS 135; and (iv) Guarantor has established  adequate means
of obtaining from Tenant on a continuing basis  information  regarding  Tenant's
financial condition.  The Guarantor agrees to keep adequately informed from such
means of any  facts,  events,  or  circumstances  which  might in any way affect
Guarantor's  risks  under this  Guaranty,  and  Guarantor  further  agrees  that
Landlord  shall have no obligation to disclose to Guarantor any  information  or
documents acquired by Landlord in the course of its relationship with Tenant.

7.  Amendments,  etc.  with  Respect  to the  Obligations.  The  obligations  of
Guarantor  under this  Guaranty  shall  remain in full force and effect  without
regard to, and shall not be released, altered,  exhausted,  discharged or in any
way affected by any circumstance or condition  (whether or not Tenant shall have
any knowledge or notice thereof), including without limitation (a) any amendment
or modification of or supplement to any Lease Document, or any obligation,  duty
or agreement of Tenant or any other Person thereunder or in respect thereof; (b)
any  assignment or transfer in whole or in part of any of the  Obligations;  any
furnishing,  acceptance,  release,  nonperfection or invalidity of any direct or
indirect  security  or  guaranty  for any of the  Obligations;  (c) any  waiver,
consent, extension, renewal, indulgence,  settlement, compromise or other action
or  inaction  under or in  respect of any Lease  Document,  or any  exercise  or
nonexercise of any right,  remedy, power or privilege under or in respect of any
such instrument (whether by operation of law or otherwise);  (d) any bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization,  arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation
or similar proceeding with respect to Tenant or any other Person or any of their
respective  properties or creditors or any resulting release or discharge of any
Obligation  (including without limitation any rejection of any lease pursuant to
Section 365 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code); (e) any new or additional financing
arrangements  entered  into by Tenant or by any other Person on behalf of or for
the benefit of Tenant;  (f) the merger or  consolidation  of Tenant with or into
any other Person or of any other Person with or into Tenant;  (g) the  voluntary
or involuntary sale or other  disposition of all or substantially all the assets
of Tenant or any other  Person;  (h) the voluntary or  involuntary  liquidation,
dissolution or termination of Tenant or any other Person; (i) any failure on the
part of Tenant or any other  Person  (other  than  Landlord)  for any  reason to
perform or comply with any term of any Lease Document or any other agreement; or
(j) any other  act,  omission  or  occurrence  whatsoever,  whether  similar  or
dissimilar to the foregoing.  The Guarantor  authorizes each Tenant,  each other
guarantor  in  respect  of the  Obligations  and  Landlord  at any  time  in its
discretion,  as the  case  may  be,  to  alter  any of the  terms  of any of the
Obligations.

8. Guarantor as Principal.  If for any reason [(other than  Landlord's  material
default,  negligence  or willful  misconduct)],  Tenant,  or any of them, or any
other Person is under no legal obligation to discharge any Obligation, or if any
other moneys included in the Obligations have


                                      -4-
<PAGE>

become  unrecoverable  from  Tenant,  or any of them,  or any  other  Person  by
operation  of law or for any  other  reason  [(other  than  Landlord's  material
default, negligence or willful misconduct)],  including, without limitation, the
invalidity or irregularity in whole or in part of any Obligation or of any Lease
Document,  the legal  disability  of Tenant or any other  obligor  in respect of
Obligations,  any  discharge of or  limitation on the liability of Tenant or any
other  Person or any  limitation  on the  method or terms of  payment  under any
Obligation,  or of any Lease  Document,  which may now or hereafter be caused or
imposed in any manner whatsoever  (whether consensual or arising by operation of
law or  otherwise),  this Guaranty shall  nevertheless  remain in full force and
effect and shall be binding upon Guarantor to the same extent as if Guarantor at
all times had been the principal obligor on all Obligations.

9. Waiver of Demand, Notice, Etc. The Guarantor hereby waives, to the extent not
prohibited by applicable law, all presentments,  demands for performance, notice
of  nonperformance,  protests,  notices of  protests  and notices of dishonor in
connection with the Obligations or any Lease Document, including but not limited
to (a) notice of the  existence,  creation or incurring of any new or additional
obligation  or of any action or failure to act on the part of Tenant,  Landlord,
any  endorser or creditor of Tenant or any other  Person;  (b) any notice of any
indulgence,  extensions  or renewals  granted to any obligor with respect to the
Obligations;  (c) any  requirement of diligence or promptness in the enforcement
of rights  under any  Lease  Document,  or any  other  agreement  or  instrument
directly  or  indirectly  relating  thereto  or  to  the  Obligations;  (d)  any
enforcement of any present or future agreement or instrument  relating  directly
or indirectly  thereto or to the  Obligations;  (e) notice of any of the matters
referred to in  Paragraph 8 above;  (f) any defense of any kind which  Guarantor
may now have with respect to his liability  under this Guaranty  (other than the

Guarantor;  (h) any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity,  lack of
authority,  death or disability of any other Person or Persons or the failure of
Landlord  to file or enforce a claim  against  the  estate  (in  administration,
bankruptcy,  or any other  proceeding)  of any other Person or Persons;  (i) any
defense based upon an election of remedies by Landlord;  (j) any defense arising
by reason of any "one  action" or  "anti-deficiency"  law or any other law which
may prevent Landlord from bringing any action, including a claim for deficiency,
against Guarantor,  before or after Landlord's commencement of completion of any
foreclosure action, either judicially or by exercise of a power of sale; (k) any
defense  based upon any lack of diligence by Landlord in the  collection  of any
Obligation;  (l) any duty on the part of Landlord to disclose to  Guarantor  any
facts  Landlord may now or hereafter  know about Tenant or any other  obligor in
respect of  Obligations;  (m) any defense arising because of an election made by
Landlord under Section  1111(b)(2) of the Federal  Bankruptcy  Code; and (n) any

full knowledge of the significance and consequences  thereof and that, under the
circumstances,  the waivers are reasonable.  If any such waiver is determined to

10.  Reinstatement.  This  Guaranty  shall  continue  to  be  effective,  or  be
reinstated,  as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of
any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by
Landlord  upon  the   insolvency,   bankruptcy,   dissolution,   liquidation  or
reorganization  of  Tenant  or  upon  or as a  result  of the  appointment  of a
receiver,  intervenor  or  conservator  of, or trustee or similar  officer  for,
Tenant or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such
payments had not been made.

11.  Payments.  The Guarantor hereby agrees that the Obligations will be paid to
Landlord  without  set-off  or  counterclaim  in U.S.  Dollars  at the office of
Landlord located at 400 Centre Street,  Newton,  Massachusetts 02458, or to such
other location as Landlord shall notify Guarantor.

Landlord of any event which will, or that may  reasonably be expected to, result
in a  material  adverse  change  in the  financial  condition  or  operation  of
Guarantor  and  its  Subsidiaries  taken  as  a  whole,  provided,  however  the
Guarantor's  failure  to do so  shall  not  be  deemed  to be a  default  of the
Guarantor hereunder.

         (b) Financial  Statements.  The  Guarantor  shall furnish the following
statements to Landlord:

                  (i)  within  sixty  (60) days  after  each of the first  three
         quarters  of any Fiscal  Year,  the  Consolidated  Financials  for such
         fiscal quarter; and

                  (ii)  within one  hundred  twenty  (120) days after the end of
         each Fiscal Year, the Consolidated Financials for such Fiscal Year.

Landlord may at any time, and from time to time,  provide any lender to Landlord
with copies of any of the foregoing statements.

         (c)  Reports.  The  Guarantor  shall  cause the Tenant to provide  such
certificates, reports and other documents required of it hereunder and under the
Lease Documents.

         (d) Legal  Existence.  The  Guarantor  shall do or cause to be done all
things  necessary  to preserve  and keep in full force and effect its  corporate
existence (subject as provided in Paragraph 13(f) hereof).

         (e) Merger; Sale of Assets, Etc. The Guarantor shall not enter into any
transaction of merger or consolidation, or liquidate, wind-up or dissolve itself
(or suffer any liquidation or dissolution),  or convey, sell, lease,  sub-lease,
transfer or otherwise dispose of in one transaction or a series of transactions,
all or substantially all of its business,  property or assets, whether now owned
or hereafter  acquired,  except that Guarantor may merge or consolidate with any
Person, or convey,  transfer or lease substantially all of its assets so long as


                                      -6-
<PAGE>

the successor formed by such  consolidation  or the survivor of such merger,  if
not the Guarantor, or the Person that acquires by conveyance,  transfer or lease
substantially  all of the assets of Guarantor,  as the case may be, shall assume
the obligations of the Guarantor  hereunder to the same extent and with the same
effect as though such  corporation  was a party hereto and was named and defined
as the "Guarantor" herein.

13.  Severability.  Any  provision  of this  Guaranty  which  is  prohibited  or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability  without  invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render  unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction.

14.  Additional  Guaranties.  This  Guaranty  shall be in  addition to any other
guaranty or other security for the  Obligations,  and it shall not be prejudiced
or  rendered  unenforceable  by the  invalidity  of any such other  guaranty  or
security.

15.  Paragraph  Headings.  The paragraph  headings used in this Guaranty are for
convenience of reference only and are not to affect the  construction  hereof or
be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

16. No Waiver;  Cumulative Remedies,  Documentation of Expenses.  Landlord shall
not by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Paragraph 18 hereof),
delay, indulgence,  omission or otherwise, be deemed to have waived any right or
remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or in any breach of any of
the terms and  conditions  hereof.  No  failure  to  exercise,  nor any delay in
exercising,  on the part of Landlord,  any right,  power or privilege  hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof.  No single or partial  exercise of any right,
power or  privilege  hereunder  shall  preclude  any other or  further  exercise
thereof or the  exercise of any other  right,  power or  privilege.  A waiver by
Landlord  of any  right or remedy  hereunder  on any one  occasion  shall not be
construed as a bar to any right or remedy which Landlord would otherwise have on
any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may
be  exercised  singly or  concurrently  and are not  exclusive  of any rights or
remedies provided by law.

17.  Waivers  and  Amendments;  Successors  and  Assigns.  None of the  terms or
provisions of this Guaranty may be waived,  amended,  supplemented  or otherwise
modified  except by a written  instrument  executed by Guarantor  and  Landlord,
provided  that any  provision  of this  Guaranty  may be waived by Landlord in a
letter or  agreement  executed by Landlord or by telecopy  from  Landlord.  This
Guaranty shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of Guarantor and shall
inure to the benefit of Landlord and its successors and assigns.

18. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION;  GOVERNING LAW. THE GUARANTOR
HEREBY  EXPRESSLY  WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO A JURY TRIAL
IN ANY  SUIT,  ACTION OR  PROCEEDING  WHICH  ARISES  OUT OF OR BY REASON OF THIS
GUARANTY,  ANY  LEASE  DOCUMENT  OR THE  TRANSACTIONS  CONTEMPLATED  HEREBY  AND
THEREBY.

ACCEPTS  FOR  ITSELF  AND IN  CONNECTION  WITH  ITS  PROPERTIES,  GENERALLY  AND
UNCONDITIONALLY,  THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF

bookkeeping,  management, collection, and other administrative personnel for the
day-to-day  operations  of  the  Facilities  (collectively,  "Personnel").  Such
Personnel  shall be employees of Servicer  (subject to the following  sentence),
provided  Manager,  Advisors and the Proposed  Operator of the relevant Facility
shall have full responsibility for payment of their wages,  salaries,  and other
compensation  and benefits  (in  accordance  with  Section 4).  Anything in this
Section 2.1 to the contrary  notwithstanding,  Manager shall offer employment to
all such  Personnel  at or as soon  after the  Effective  Time as is  reasonably
practicable, but not later than sixty (60) days after the Effective Time, in any
event.  Servicer shall establish such personnel policies,  wage structures,  and
staff  schedules  as  it  deems  necessary  and  advisable  in  accordance  with
applicable  law.  Servicer shall have authority to hire and discharge  employees
who,  immediately  prior to the Effective Time, were employed at the Facilities.
Servicer  shall  maintain  payroll  records and shall prepare weekly and monthly
payrolls,  and returns of  withholding  taxes.  Servicer  acknowledges  that the
ability  of  Manager  to make any such  offer may be  subject  to receipt of the
Necessary  Licenses and that in any event,  Manager will first have to implement
an appropriate  accounting and payroll  function.  Servicer  agrees to cooperate
with Manager in  connection  with


                                      -3-

such offers of employment  and to release any  Personnel to whom Manager  offers
employment from any employment agreements, non-competition, non-solicitation and
non-disclosure  agreements or common law  obligations to which they may be party
or  subject.   Notwithstanding  anything  to  the  contrary  contained  in  this
Agreement, Servicer shall have no liability whatsoever to or with respect to any
of the  Personnel  or by reason of any  actions  taken or  omitted by any of the
Personnel,  in each case relating to any period on or after the  Effective  Time
(regardless  of the fact  that the  Personnel  may be  employees  of  Servicer).
Notwithstanding  anything  to the  contrary  contained  in this  Agreement,  the
Manager  shall not be required or permitted to offer  employment  at any time to
any person then employed as a member of the IHS corporate  staff ("IHS Corporate
Staff")  (excluding,  however,  regional  vice  presidents  and their staff (the
"RVPs")  as to which  Manager  has  provided  reasonable  prior  notice to IHS),
without  the  prior  consent  of IHS  (which  consent  will not be  unreasonably
withheld).  If IHS  shall  consent  to the  making  of any such  offer,  it will
cooperate with Manager with respect  thereto,  and if any such member of the IHS
Corporate Staff or any RVP shall become an employee of any SNH Entity, he or she
shall be deemed to belong to Personnel.

         2.2  Purchasing.   Servicer  shall  (subject  to  Section  4)  purchase
substantially all necessary supplies, foodstuffs,  materials, appliances, tools,
and  equipment  customarily  used in the operation of the  Facilities.  Servicer
shall use  commercially  reasonable  efforts  to limit  purchasing  costs and to
maintain such costs at a level reasonably  calculated to allow the Facilities to
operate  profitably.  Servicer  may,  but shall not be  obligated  to, make such
purchases in bulk under a centralized  purchasing  system  established by it for
other facilities under its management in order to minimize costs. Servicer shall
arrange  contracts for  electricity,  gas,  telephone,  and any other utility or
service necessary to the operation of the Facilities.  Servicer shall, on behalf
of the Proposed  Operator and/or the owner of the buildings and real property in
and on which the Facilities are located (the "Real  Property  Owner"),  contract
for  and  supervise  the  making  of any  necessary  repairs,  alterations,  and
improvements  to the  Facilities,  provided  that  in the  case  of any  repair,
alteration or  improvement,  the cost of which exceeds  $5,000,  Servicer  shall
obtain the prior approval of Manager and the Relevant  Licensee,  except that no
such  prior  approval  shall  be  required  if the  expenditure  is  made  under
circumstances  reasonably  requiring  emergency  action.  Without  limiting  the
provisions of Sections 2.4 and 4, Servicer shall,  upon written request,  submit
to the Proposed Operator and Licensee such certification as to expenses incurred
in the operation of the Facilities as may be reasonably required by the Proposed
Operator or Licensee in order to comply  with  applicable  law and  regulations,
including, without limitation, law and regulations applicable to preparation and
submission of cost reports.

         2.3  Bookkeeping.  Servicer  shall  establish and maintain a record and
bookkeeping system for the operation and conduct of the Facilities in accordance
with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  Full books of  account  with
entries of all receipts and  expenditures  of the  Facilities  shall be open for
inspection by  representatives  of Licensee,  Manager and Proposed Operator upon
reasonable  notice and at reasonable  times, to the extent required by Licensee,
Manager  or  Proposed  Operator  in  order to  comply  with  applicable  law and
regulations,  including,  without limitation,  law and regulations applicable to
preparation and submission of cost reports.

         2.4  Financial  Reports.  Servicer  shall:  (a) as soon  as  reasonably
possible  after  the close of each  calendar  month  (and as soon as  reasonably
possible after the  termination of the obligations of the Relevant IHS Entities,
as Servicer,  in accordance  with Section 8.1) furnish to the Relevant  Licensee
and Manager a statement of income for the month (or portion thereof) and for the
year  to  date,  together  with a  detailed  statement  of  billings,  receipts,
disbursements,  accounts payable and accounts  receivable;  (b) in the event the
Relevant  Licensee is required by applicable law,  regulations or the provisions
of any  material  contract  to  which  it is a party  or by which it is bound to
conduct or submit to an audit of the Facilities'  financial performance relative
to the period during which Servicer  performed  services  under this  Agreement,
make  available  all books and records of the  Facilities  on a timely basis and
cooperate  fully with any  auditors or  accountants  designated  by the Relevant
Licensee;  (c) as soon as reasonably possible after the close of each applicable
reporting  period for rate setting  purposes,  and not later than the applicable
deadline, prepare for submission by the Relevant Licensee a cost report for each
Facility (and including in any event,  any short-year cost report required to be
submitted  by the IHS  Licensee  after  receipt of the  Necessary  Licenses  and
provider   agreements  by  the  Proposed   Operator),   showing  the  costs  and
expenditures  relating  to  resident  care for  such  Facility  and  such  other
information as is required by the applicable governmental authority, such report
being in all material  respects  (including as to form) in  compliance  with the
requirements of such applicable governmental  authority;  and (d) cooperate with
and furnish information to each Proposed Operator and Manager in a timely manner
in connection with the preparation of applications by such Proposed Operator for
any  Licenses  with  respect  to  the  Facilities.  Servicer  shall  supply  all
information,  reports,  forms and data required to be provided by it pursuant to
this Section 2.4 in electronic or hard copy form (and, in the case of clause (a)
above,  if such  information  and data are provided in hard copy form,  Servicer
shall provide such  information to Manager in electronic form also, if available
in the ordinary course),  as determined by Servicer consistent with its ordinary
practice, unless applicable law shall require that any such information, report,
form or data be submitted in a particular  form, in which case,  Servicer  shall
comply with such applicable law.

         The provisions of paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 2.4 shall
survive the  termination  of the  obligation  of the  Relevant  IHS  Entities as
Servicer under Section 8.1, to the extent such  provisions  relate to the period
prior to such termination.

         2.5 Marketing.  Servicer shall use commercially  reasonable  efforts to
market the  services  of the  Facilities  in order to  maintain  the  patient or
resident  census at the Facilities in such numbers and of such categories as, in
Servicer's  judgment,  will tend to  maintain  the  financial  stability  of the
Facilities and to ensure compliance with laws, regulations, orders and judgments
applicable to the  Facilities.  Servicer may design and implement  programs with
third party payors, such as insurance companies,  federal agencies and state and
local agencies, for services to patients on a contract basis, for the purpose of
improving the financial stability of the Facilities.

         2.6 Notices of  Proceedings.  Each of  Servicer,  Manager and  Relevant
Licensee shall promptly  inform the others of the  commencement of any formal or
informal  investigations  or  proceedings  known to it before any and all local,
state and federal  agencies which purport to regulate any Facility to the extent
such proceeding may have a material impact upon the operation of any Facility.

         2.7 Insurance.

                  (a)  Manager  shall  obtain on behalf of itself and  Servicer,
         Licensee,  Proposed  Operator  and the Real  Property  Owners  for each
         Facility, as their interests may appear,  commercial general liability,
         all risk property,  professional or malpractice  liability and worker's
         compensation  insurance covering the Facilities,  any equipment used in
         connection with the  Facilities,  the Personnel and any other employees
         located at the Facilities, and Manager, Servicer,  Licensees,  Proposed
         Operator  and the Real  Property  Owners  for each  Facility,  as their
         interests may appear, in such amounts and with such deductibles as are,
         in  each  case,  described  in  Schedule  2.7  hereto,  and  with  such
         additional provisions or coverage as may be determined by Manager.

                  (b) All  insurance  provided  under this  Section 2.7 shall be
         issued by insurance companies with an A.M. Best Rating of not less than
         A-VI and that are licensed and qualified to do business in the state of
         operation of the relevant Facility.

                  (c)  Notwithstanding the provisions for deductibles in Section
         2.7,  it is  understood  and  agreed  that the  policies  of  insurance
         provided  for in this Section 2.7 may contain  deductible  or retention
         provisions  in such amounts as are  maintained  with respect to similar
         type facilities in the industry.  In addition to premiums,  Manager and
         SNH shall be responsible for all  deductibles,  retentions,  collateral
         and expenses associated with such insurance.

                  (d) Each of the policies of liability insurance referred to in
         this Section 2.7 (including the umbrella coverage,  and, for as long as
         any Personnel  remain  employees of any Relevant IHS Entity,  workman's
         compensation  insurance)  shall name IHS,  Servicer and each applicable
         IHS  Licensee  as an insured or  additional  insured,  as  appropriate.
         Manager shall provide  Servicer with a Certificate  of Insurance at the
         Effective Time naming IHS, Servicer and each applicable IHS Licensee as
         an  insured  or  additional  insured  with  respect  to such  liability
         insurance,  as  appropriate,  and  within  two  Business  Days  of  any
         subsequent request. Manager shall notify Servicer at least (30) days in
         advance of a cancellation or expiration of such policies. It is further
         understood  that Manager shall provide all  necessary  risk  management
         services.

         2.8 Collections, Accounts, Disbursements and Termination Accounting.

                  (a) Billing.  Servicer  shall prepare and submit bills for all
         moneys owing to the Relevant  Licensee,  whether from patients or third
         party  payors,  for services  provided by or at the  Facilities  at any
         time,  whether  prior to 12:01 A.M.  (Boston time) on the day following
         the Closing (the "Effective Time") or after the Effective Time.

                  (b) Collection of Accounts Receivable.

                  (i) Each IHS Licensee  and  Relevant  IHS Entity  acknowledges
         that,  pursuant to the provisions of the Settlement  Agreement dated as
         of April __, 2000 among, inter alia, Integrated Health Services,  Inc.,
         SNH,  SPTIHS  Properties  Trust,   HRES1  Properties  Trust  and  HRES2
         Properties   Trust,  each  a  Maryland  real  estate  investment  trust
         ("SPTIHS," "HRES1" and "HRES2,"  respectively),  Manager,  the Proposed
         Operators

         and the Licensees (the "Settlement Agreement"),  the Proposed Operators
         (to the  extent  permitted  by  applicable  law) and  Advisors  own all
         accounts  receivable to the extent arising from services provided by or
         at  its   respective   Facility   after   the   Effective   Time   (the
         "Post-Effective  Time Receivables").  Servicer is hereby authorized and
         directed  to make and effect  collections  of all  Post-Effective  Time
         Receivables.  With respect to all such  Post-Effective Time Receivables
         with respect to any Facility that are owed by a Medicaid program or the
         Medicare  program  or other  federal or state  programs  (collectively,
         "Government  Receivables")  and that are  payable  under  the  existing
         Provider Agreements of any Licensee, Servicer shall endorse and deposit
         into the  Licensee  bank account for such  Facility  under the name and
         control of the Licensee for such Facility (a "Licensee  Account"),  any
         and all monies,  checks,  drafts or other instruments or items received
         as  payment  for  such  Government  Receivables.  With  respect  to all
         Post-Effective Time Receivables with respect to any Facility other than
         Government Receivables  (collectively,  "Other Receivables"),  Servicer
         shall, subject to paragraph (ii) below, endorse and deposit into a bank
         account  under the name and  control of the  Proposed  Operator of such
         Facility  that  is  designated  in  writing  from  time  to time by the
         Proposed  Operator (each a "Proposed  Operator  Account"),  any and all
         monies,  checks,  drafts  or other  instruments  or items  received  as
         payment for such Other  Receivables.  Each IHS Licensee or Relevant IHS
         Entity that receives any proceeds of  Post-Effective  Time  Receivables
         with  respect to any  Facility,  whether  as a deposit in the  relevant
         Licensee  Account  or  otherwise,  and  whether  such  proceeds  are of
         Government Receivables or Other Receivables, acknowledges that, subject
         to paragraph  (ii) below,  it has no right to use any such proceeds for
         any purpose,  and shall hold any and all such proceeds in trust for the
         Proposed Operator of such Facility or Advisors, as the case may be, and
         shall prior to the close of business  on the  Business  Day on which it
         receives such amount,  cause such funds to be paid into the  applicable
         Proposed  Operator Account for the account of the Proposed  Operator or
         the  Licensee  Account  of  Advisors,  as the case  may be.  As soon as
         practicable  after the Effective  Time,  Servicer  shall (to the extent
         permitted by law)  instruct  account  debtors of each  Facility to make
         payment directly into the relevant  Proposed  Operator Account for such
         IHS Facility and the Licensee Account of Advisors,  as the case may be.
         During the term of this  Agreement,  Servicer  shall keep  accurate and
         complete books and records of all receipts with respect to all billing,
         accounts receivable,  all deposits and other transactions affecting any
         Post-Effective  Time Receivable  whether to the Licensee  Account,  the
         Proposed  Operator Account or to other checking  accounts,  which books
         and records shall be made available to Licensee,  Proposed Operator and
         Manager upon request,  and after  termination of this  Agreement  shall
         make such books and records available to Licensee, Manager and Proposed
         Operator  to the  extent  necessary  to enable  Licensee,  Manager  and
         Proposed  Operator to comply with all applicable laws and  regulations,
         including regulations governing  preparation,  submission and audits of
         cost reports. If any amount shall be collected within the first 60 days
         after  the  Effective   Time  from  an  account   debtor  that  is  not
         identifiable,  using reasonable best efforts,  as being in payment of a
         Post-Effective  Time  Receivable,  then  100% of such  amount  shall be
         deemed to have been collected in respect of an account  receivable that
         was due to the  Servicer  or an IHS  Licensee  in respect  of  services
         provided  prior to the  Effective  Time (and the  Servicer  or such IHS
         Licensee   shall  be  permitted  to  retain  such   proceeds,   without
         limitation).  If any amount shall be


                                      -7-
<PAGE>

         collected  during the  period  from the 61st to the 120th day after the
         Effective Time from an account debtor that is not  identifiable,  using
         reasonable best efforts,  as being in payment of a Post-Effective  Time
         Receivable,  then 50% of such  amount  shall  be  deemed  to have  been
         collected  in  respect  of an  account  receivable  that was due to the
         Servicer or an IHS  Licensee in respect of services  provided  prior to
         the  Effective  Time (and the  Servicer or such IHS  Licensee  shall be
         permitted to retain such proceeds  without  limitation),  and the other
         50% of such amount shall be deemed to have been collected in respect of
         a Post-Effective  Time Receivable (and such Proposed  Operator shall be
         permitted to retain such proceeds  without  limitation).  If any amount
         shall be collected after the 120th day after the Effective Time from an
         account debtor that is not identifiable, using reasonable best efforts,
         as being in payment of a Post-Effective  Time Receivable,  then 100% of
         such  amount  shall be deemed to have been  collected  in  respect of a
         Post-Effective  Time  Receivable  (and the Proposed  Operator  shall be
         permitted  to retain such  proceeds,  without  limitation).  Each party
         hereto agrees to provide  written notice to each other party hereto not
         affiliated  with it,  promptly  following the last Business Day of each
         calendar  month,  if such  party has  received  a payment  during  such
         calendar month that is not identifiable, using reasonable best efforts,
         as being in payment of a Post-Effective  Time Receivable.  Such written
         notice shall set out the amount of the payment and the person or entity
         that  made  the  payment.  If and to the  extent  that  Manager  or any
         Proposed  Operator or any of their respective  affiliates shall collect
         any account  receivable  owned (or deemed to be owned) by any  Relevant
         IHS Entity,  such person or entity shall immediately pay such amount to
         such  Relevant IHS Entity,  and until such payment is so made,  Manager
         shall hold such  amount in trust for the benefit of such  Relevant  IHS
         Entity.

                  (ii)  Notwithstanding  anything to the  contrary  contained in
         this  Agreement,  if the Manager,  SNH, or any Proposed  Operator shall
         fail to make any payment to the Servicer or any IHS  Licensee  pursuant
         to Section 4 hereof when and as due in accordance  with Section 4, then
         Servicer and such IHS Licensee  shall be entitled to collect and retain
         any amounts due in respect of  Post-Effective  Time  Receivables to the
         extent necessary to offset such amount due under Section 4. Servicer or
         the applicable  IHS Licensee  shall promptly  notify the Manager of any
         such offset.  The rights and remedies of Servicer and the IHS Licensees
         under this  paragraph  (ii) shall be in  addition  to, and shall not be
         exclusive  of, any other  rights or remedies  that may be  available to
         Servicer or the IHS Licensee under this Agreement,  any other agreement
         between the  parties,  at law, in equity,  or  otherwise,  all of which
         rights may be exercised concurrently or in any order or priority.

                  (iii)  IHS  shall  cause  exclusive  control  of the  Licensee
         Account for the Facilities  located in Connecticut to be transferred to
         Advisors effective as of the Closing Date.

                  (c) Reduction Claims.

                  (i) If and to the extent that there  shall be a  reduction  (a
         "Reduction") in the amount to be paid on any account  receivable due to
         any IHS  Licensee  by a Medicaid  program or the  Medicare  program for
         services rendered at any Facility from and after the


                                      -8-
<PAGE>

         Effective  Time (an  "IHS  Government  Receivable")  by  reason  of any
         withholding,  freeze, restriction, offset or recoupment applied against
         such IHS Government  Receivable for an amount payable by any IHS Entity
         to the  applicable  Third  Party  Payor (as such term is defined in the
         Settlement  Agreement) with respect to services provided on or prior to
         the Effective  Time (a  "Pre-Effective  Date Third Party Payor Claim"),
         then the SNH  Entities  shall have a claim  against the IHS Entities (a
         "Reduction Claim") that is: (1) in the amount of the Reduction; and (2)
         of equal  priority to the priority that would have been accorded to the
         Pre-Effective  Date  Third  Party  Payor  Claim  in the  IHS  Entities'
         bankruptcies,  under  bankruptcy or other  applicable law, or if and to
         the extent the Third Party Payor is not subject to the  jurisdiction of
         the Court or limited in its recourse by the filing of the Case (as such
         term is defined in the Settlement Agreement),  such other rights as the
         Third Party Payor may exercise.

                  (ii) The Manager shall give notice of any Reduction Claim (the
         "Manager's Notice") to the Senior Vice  President-Finance  of IHS, with
         such Manager's  Notice to set forth the amount of such  Reduction,  the
         basis for the Pre-Effective Date Third Party Payor Claim (to the extent
         known to Manager),  and the Reduction  Claim that the Manager  believes
         that is  payable  by the IHS  Entities  to the  SNH  Entities.  The IHS
         Entities  shall then have thirty (30) days from the date of the receipt
         of the  Manager's  Notice to pay the amount of the Reduction to the SNH
         Entities.  The payment by the IHS Entities of any amount in  accordance
         with the preceding  sentence shall be without prejudice to the right of
         the IHS Entities to dispute, at any time, the SNH Entities' entitlement
         to any such payment, as follows:

                           (A) If the IHS Entities shall dispute the Third Party
                  Payor's  basis for the  Pre-Effective  Date Third  Party Payor
                  Claim or the amount of such  Pre-Effective  Date  Third  Party
                  Payor  Claim,  then the  applicable  IHS Entity shall have the
                  sole  authority to dispute or settle such  Pre-Effective  Date
                  Third Party Payor Claim,  and the IHS Entities  shall bear the
                  costs and expenses of such  efforts.  The SNH  Entities  shall
                  cooperate in all reasonable  respects with the IHS Entities in
                  connection with the IHS Entities' efforts to resolve or settle
                  such  dispute.   Notwithstanding   anything  to  the  contrary
                  contained  in  this  Agreement  or  in  any  other  Settlement
                  Document,  the IHS Entities  shall be deemed to own (and shall
                  be entitled to collect,  retain and/or  assign) any funds that
                  are collected in respect of any Pre-Effective Date Third Party
                  Payor Claim  disputed in  accordance  with this clause (A). If
                  any SNH  Entity  shall  collect  any  such  amount,  it  shall
                  immediately pay such amount to the applicable IHS Entity.

                           (B) If the IHS Entities  shall  dispute the amount or
                  priority of the Reduction Claim to which the Manager  believes
                  the SNH Entities are entitled in  accordance  with  subsection
                  (c)(i) above, then the parties shall  immediately  submit such
                  dispute  to  binding   arbitration  in  accordance   with  the
                  Commercial  Arbitration  Rules  then in force of the  American
                  Arbitration Association,  and judgment upon the award rendered
                  by the  arbitrator(s)  may be  entered  in  any  court  having
                  jurisdiction  thereof. The SNH Entities shall forthwith return
                  to the  applicable  IHS Entity any amount that the  arbitrator
                  determines  to be in  excess  of the  amount  to which the SNH
                  Entities were entitled in accordance  with  subsection  (c)(i)
                  above.

                  In any such dispute, the prevailing party shall be entitled to
                  reimbursement  of its related  costs and  expenses,  including
                  reasonable attorney's fees. Moreover, if it is determined that
                  the SNH Entities  asserted a Reduction  Claim in excess of the
                  amount to which they were entitled, they shall be obligated to
                  pay to the  applicable  IHS Entity  interest on such excess at
                  the rate of eight  percent  (8%) per annum  from the date such
                  amount was paid to the SNH Entities until the date paid by the
                  SNH Entities to the applicable IHS Entity.

                  (d) The  provisions of paragraphs  (b) and (c) of this Section
         2.8 shall survive the  termination  of the  obligations of the Relevant
         IHS Entities under Section 8.

         2.9 Patient-Trust Accounts. At such time as a Proposed Operator for any
Facility has all Necessary  Licenses,  Servicer and the applicable Licensee will
transfer  the patient  trust  accounts  held for the benefit of residents of the
relevant  Facility  to  the  Proposed   Operator  of  that  Facility.   Promptly
thereafter,  Servicer and the applicable  Licensee will furnish to such Proposed
Operator  current bank statements  with respect to such accounts.  Such Proposed
Operator shall thereupon  assume all liabilities  arising  thereunder other than
liabilities for acts or omissions by the Licensee prior to the Effective Time or
arising out of gross  negligence  or willful  misconduct of Servicer or Licensee
after the Effective Time.

3. Servicer Consideration.  The Relevant IHS Entities have agreed to perform the
services that are  contemplated  to be rendered by them  hereunder as "Servicer"
during the five (5) month period provided in Section 8.1 and as "Servicer" under
the Servicing  Agreement dated as of even date among SNH,  Manager,  IHS and IHS
152 (the "Other Servicing  Agreement"),  in consideration of the release by SNH,
SPTIHS,  HRES1,  HRES2,  Advisors  and the other SNH Entities (as defined in the
Settlement  Agreement)  of their  claims  against  Servicer  and the  other  IHS
Entities (as defined in the Settlement  Agreement) under the Existing  Documents
(as defined in the Settlement  Agreement) pursuant to the Settlement  Agreement.
Such releases shall not be affected if, during the first five (5) full months of
the term of this Agreement,  Manager advises Servicer,  pursuant to Section 8.2,
to  discontinue  provision of any portion of the  services  provided by Servicer
hereunder  or if any  Facility  is sold or its  operation  discontinued  for any
reason whatsoever.

4. Expenses.

         4.1 For purposes of this Agreement, "Expenses" shall mean, liabilities,
costs and expenses of the type listed below to the extent incurred in connection
with the  operation and  management  of such Facility in the ordinary  course of
business after the Effective Time:

                  (a) salary and related costs (including,  without  limitation,
         payroll taxes, workers' compensation,  costs of employee benefit plans,
         travel,  insurance,  and fidelity bonds) of Personnel at such Facility,
         including, without limitation, administrative, professional, custodial,
         food service,  cleaning and maintenance,  operational,  secretarial and
         bookkeeping personnel (collectively, "Payroll Expenses");

                  (b) the cost of all supplies and  equipment  necessary for the
         continued  operation of such  Existing  Facility as a skilled  nursing,
         intermediate  care and for


                                      -10-
<PAGE>

         residential facility in the ordinary course of its business,  including
         without  limitation,  the  cost  of all  pharmaceuticals,  food,  fuel,
         kitchen and food service equipment,  linens, beds, furniture,  clothing
         and other supplies and equipment used in supplying services to patients
         in the ordinary course;

                  (c) expenses  attributable to the maintenance and operation of
         real and personal property  devoted,  used or consumed in the operation
         of such Facility in the ordinary course, including, without limitation,
         expenses  incurred in connection  with  maintenance  and repair of such
         Facility,  and  insurance  premiums,  deductibles  and  retentions  for
         insurance obtained pursuant to Section 2.7;

                  (d) all  liabilities  incurred  after the Effective Time under
         any  Contracts  (as such term is defined in the  Settlement  Agreement)
         that any IHS  Entity  is  required  not to reject  in  accordance  with
         Section 7.6 of the Settlement Agreement (but specifically excluding any
         Pre-Effective  Time  Obligations  (as  such  term  is  defined  in  the
         Settlement Agreement)); and

                  (e) all other costs,  expenses and liabilities  arising out of
         the ownership, operation, maintenance and management of the Facilities,
         including,  without  limitation,  real  estate,  income and other taxes
         payable in connection  with the operation of the Facilities  (the costs
         and expenses  referred to in  paragraphs  (b), (c), (d) and (e) hereof,
         collectively, "A/P Expenses");

provided,  however,  that the following expenses of the Relevant IHS Entities as
"Servicer" hereunder shall be for the sole account of the Relevant IHS Entities,
shall not be subject to  reimbursement  hereunder,  and shall be deemed excluded
from the term  "Expenses":  (i) the Relevant IHS Entities  overhead and ordinary
administrative  expenses,  and salary (including,  without  limitation,  payroll
taxes, workers' compensation, costs of employee benefit plans, travel, insurance
and fidelity bonds) of financial, accounting and other personnel employed by the
Relevant IHS Entities  (other than  Personnel) to provide  centralized  billing,
collection,  bill paying,  accounting,  record keeping,  information management,
purchasing,  personnel and policy  planning  services to any Facility,  it being
understood  that in no event  shall  the  salary  or other  compensation  of any
Personnel be an expense of Servicer;  (ii) the cost of obtaining and maintaining
insurance  outside of that described in Section 2.7; and (iii) any loss, cost or
expense for which Servicer is liable under Section 10.

         4.2 SNH, Manager,  Advisors and the Proposed Operators shall be jointly
and severally liable for the payment and satisfaction of all Expenses,  when and
as the same shall become due in accordance with the terms hereof. In furtherance
thereof, Manager shall establish separate bank accounts ("Expense Accounts") for
Payroll  Expense and A/P Expense  under its name and  control,  with  respect to
which  Servicer  shall have signing  authority in order to pay Expenses.  At the
close  of the last  Business  Day of each  calendar  week  (commencing  with the
calendar week in which the Closing Date occurs),  Servicer shall provide Manager
with a check  register  showing the payee  name,  the amount of such check (with
deductions, if any), the payee code and the check number for each check drawn on
the Expense Accounts during such week. On the day preceding the Closing Date and
at the  close  of  business  on the  last  Business  Day of each  calendar  week
thereafter,   Servicer  shall  provide  Manager  with  a  statement  (the  "Cash



                                      -11-
<PAGE>

Projection")  setting  forth the  aggregate  Dollar  amount of the  checks  that
Servicer  then  expects to draw on the  Expense  Accounts  during the  following
calendar  week  (the  projected  Dollar  amount  for such  following  week,  the
"Projected Cash  Requirement") and setting forth the amount to be deposited into
the Expense Accounts in accordance with the following sentence.  By the close of
business on the Closing Date and on the second  Business  Day of such  following
calendar  week,  SNH or the Proposed  Operators  shall  deposit into the Expense
Accounts  such amounts as shall be necessary so that the  Aggregate  Balance (as
hereinafter defined) of the Expense Accounts on such Business Day shall at least
equal the sum of: (x) the Projected Cash  Requirement  for the current  calendar
week plus (y) $1,000,000.  As used herein,  the term  "Aggregate  Balance" shall
mean,  as of the date of  determination,  the sum of all  amounts  deposited  in
either Expense  Account,  less the aggregate dollar amount of all checks written
on either  Expense  Account and  reflected  in the check  registers  theretofore
furnished  to  Manager  (whether  or not such  checks  have  been paid from such
Expense  Accounts).  The monies so deposited  by SNH or the  Proposed  Operators
shall be allocated  between the two Expense Accounts as Servicer may direct from
time to time, based on its Cash Projections. Servicer shall provide Manager with
a list of its payee  codes (with  descriptions  identifying  these  codes) on or
prior to the Closing Date, and shall  promptly  inform Manager of any subsequent
modifications  thereto.  The Servicer shall promptly  reimburse the SNH Entities
for any amounts paid out of the Expense  Accounts to satisfy  obligations of any
IHS Entity that are not  required to be paid by any SNH Entity  pursuant to this
Agreement or the Settlement  Agreement or any other of the Settlement  Documents
(as such term is defined in the Settlement Agreement).  Nothing contained in the
foregoing  sentence  shall be deemed to permit the  Servicer to use funds in the
Expense  Accounts to satisfy its own obligations  except to the extent expressly
provided in this Agreement. The provisions of the first sentence of this Section
4.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

         4.3 The parties  acknowledge that Servicer and the Licensees shall have
no obligation to advance any funds on behalf of any of the  Facilities,  Manager
or the  Proposed  Operators.  If  Servicer  does  advance  its own funds for any
Expense,  SNH and the  Proposed  Operators  shall  promptly  reimburse  Servicer
therefor.  Moreover,  Manager  and SNH assume all risk of loss to third  parties
arising out of the failure to make any payment of any Expense. The provisions of
this Section 4.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

         4.4 Each Proposed Operator of each Facility shall pay Manager a monthly
management fee (the "Manager's Fee") for each Facility,  payable prior to the __
day following the end of each calendar month during the term hereof, (i) for the
first two (2) months of the term  thereof,  in an amount  equal to the costs and
expenses  incurred by the Manager in connection  with the performance by Manager
of its duties hereunder  during such calendar month, and (ii) thereafter,  in an
amount equal to 4.5% of net patient revenues for such Facility for such calendar
month.

5. Access to Records, Etc.

         5.1 For the time and to the extent required by applicable law, Servicer
shall retain, and shall permit the Comptroller General of the United States, the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and duly authorized state agencies,
and their respective duly authorized  representatives  access to examine or copy
this Agreement and such books, documents, and records as are necessary to verify
the  nature  and  extent  of the  costs  of the  services  supplied  under


                                      -12-
<PAGE>

this  Agreement.  In the event Servicer  provides any of its services under this
Agreement pursuant to a subcontract and if (i) the services provided pursuant to
the subcontract have a value or cost of $10,000 or more over a twelve (12) month
period and (ii) the  subcontract is with a related  organization,  then Servicer
agrees that the subcontract  shall contain a clause requiring the  subcontractor
to retain and allow  access to its records on the same terms and  conditions  as
required  by  Servicer.  This  provision  shall be null and  void  should  it be
determined  that  Section  1861(v)(1)(I)  of  the  Social  Security  Act  is not
applicable to this  Agreement.  The provisions of this Section 5.1 shall survive
the  termination  of the  obligations  of the  Relevant IHS Entities as Servicer
under Section 8.1.

         5.2 For the time and to the extent required by applicable law,  Manager
shall retain, and shall permit the Comptroller General of the United States, the
U.S.  Department of Health and Human Services and duly authorized state agencies
and their respective duly authorized  representatives  access to examine or copy
this Agreement and such books, documents, and records as are necessary to verify
the  nature  and  extent  of the  costs  of the  services  supplied  under  this
Agreement.  In  the  event  Manager  provides  any of its  services  under  this
Agreement pursuant to a subcontract and if (i) the services provided pursuant to
the subcontract have a value or cost of $10,000 or more over a twelve (12) month
period and (ii) the  subcontract  is with a related  organization,  then Manager
agrees that the subcontract  shall contain a clause requiring the  subcontractor
to retain and allow  access to its records on the same terms and  conditions  as
required  by  Manager.  This  provision  shall  be null and  void  should  it be
determined  that  Section  1861(v)(1)(I)  of  the  Social  Security  Act  is not
applicable to this Agreement.

         5.3 As soon as reasonably  possible  after the close of each  reporting
period for rate setting  purposes,  and not later than the applicable  deadline,
the Relevant IHS Entities  shall prepare for  submission  by the IHS  Licensees,
Medicare and/or Medicaid cost reports, as applicable,  for each Facility for the
reporting  period  during which such IHS  Licensee  provided  facility  services
(regardless  whether such services  were provided  before or after the Effective
Date)  showing the costs and  expenditures  relating  to resident  care for such
Facility  and  such  other   information   as  is  required  by  the  applicable
governmental authority, such report being in all material respects (including as
to form) in compliance with the  requirements  of such  applicable  governmental
authority.  The provisions of this Section 5.3 shall survive the  termination of
the obligations of the Relevant IHS Entities as Servicer under Section 8.1.

         5.4 The  Proposed  Operators  agree to use their best efforts to obtain
all  Necessary  Licenses  as  promptly as  possible,  and to use all  reasonable
efforts to obtain all other Licenses as promptly as possible.  Upon receipt by a
Proposed  Operator of the  Necessary  Licenses  with respect to an IHS Facility,
Manager shall give Servicer and each IHS Licensee prompt written notice thereof.

         5.5 Subject to the provisions of Section 12.10 hereof,  each of the IHS
Licensees  and Servicer  agrees to  cooperate  with the Manager and the Proposed
Operators in their efforts to obtain all Licenses,  such cooperation to include,
without  limitation,  the IHS Licensees  taking all action that is necessary and
reasonable  to  ensure  that  there is no period  during  which  neither  an IHS
Licensee  nor a Proposed  Operator  is entitled to  reimbursement  for  services
provided at the Facilities.  Without  limiting the foregoing,  each Relevant IHS
Entity and IHS  Licensee  agrees to use all  reasonable  efforts to assist  each
Proposed  Operator in obtaining  all Licenses as soon as


                                      - 13 -
<PAGE>

possible.  Such efforts shall include (i) (to the extent required as a condition
to the issuance of any License with respect to any Facility) the preparation and
filing of terminating cost reports with respect to the Facility in compliance in
all material  respects with  applicable  law,  (ii) promptly  furnishing to such
Proposed Operator,  upon its request,  all information and materials required to
be (or that any governmental agency or official has requested be) furnished as a
condition to or in connection  with the issuance of any Licenses  (including any
financial,  census and staffing data, information regarding special services and
programs,  Life Safety Code Waivers and other waiver history,  facility plans of
correction and  compliance  status,  to the extent  required or requested by the
applicable  agency or  official),  in each case to the extent  available to such
Relevant IHS Entity or IHS Licensee or  Affiliate  thereof,  (iii) the filing of
such  notices and  documents  with such  agencies or officials as such agency or
official may require or request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the SNH Entities
shall promptly  reimburse the IHS Licensees and the Servicer for all third-party
out-of-pocket  costs and expenses  incurred in connection with this Section 5.5,
including,  without  limitation,  reasonable  attorneys' fees and expenses.  The
provisions of this Section 5.5 shall survive the  termination of the obligations
of the Relevant IHS Entities and IHS Licensees under Section 8.

         5.6 Each party hereto  agrees to comply in all material  respects  with
all provisions of federal and state law applicable to it in connection  with the
operation of the Facilities.

6. Duty of Servicer; Indemnity; Prohibited Transactions.

         6.1 Servicer  shall render the  services  called for  hereunder in good
faith.

         6.2 SNH,  Manager,  Advisors  and the Proposed  Operators,  jointly and
severally,  agree to indemnify and hold Servicer, IHS and each subsidiary of IHS
and  their  respective  shareholders,  officers,  directors,  advisors,  agents,
representatives  and employees (each an "Indemnified  Party")  harmless from and
against all Damages (as hereinafter  defined),  arising out of (i) any action or
omission of Servicer in  connection  with the  provision of services  under this
Agreement  taken or omitted to be taken in good faith after the Effective  Time,
(ii) any injury to any person  suffered at any Facility,  or the rendering of or
the  failure to render  services  by, any  Personnel,  Manager,  Advisors or any
Proposed Operator or their respective  employees,  agents or  representatives or
any other person  performing  services for or on behalf of Manager,  Advisors or
any Proposed  Operator  (including,  without  limitation,  any obligations under
Section 1 above),  or the operation of any Facility  after the  Effective  Time,
(iii) the employment or termination of any of the Personnel  after the Effective
Time,  including  without  limitation,   any  wages,  salaries,  payroll  taxes,
reimbursements,  sick pay, paid time off or other vacation  benefits,  severance
and all other  compensation and benefits  incurred,  earned or accrued after the
Effective  Time,  whether  under any  agreement,  benefit  plan or as imposed by
applicable law, (iv) arising out of any action taken or omitted by any Personnel
after the Effective  Time, or (v) arising out of any failure to make any payment
when due  under  Section  4 above or any  refusal  to  approve  any  payment  in
accordance  with Section 4 above;  provided that no  Indemnified  Party shall be
entitled to  indemnification  for any action taken or omitted to be taken to the
extent  resulting  from  such  Indemnified  Party's  gross  negligence,  willful
misconduct or fraud, provided further that it is understood that the actions and
omissions of the Personnel shall not be deemed to be the actions or omissions of
any IHS Entity,  notwithstanding  that such Personnel may be employees of an IHS
Entity or under the supervision of any IHS Entity. The term "Damages" shall mean
all


                                      -14-
<PAGE>

actual monetary and  non-consequential  losses,  damages,  liabilities,  claims,
demands,   penalties,   judgments,  costs  and  expenses,   including,   without
limitation,  reasonable legal fees,  suffered by an Indemnified Party, but shall
not, in any event,  include any Pre-Effective Time Obligation (as defined in the
Settlement  Agreement).  The  provisions  of this Section 6.2 shall  survive the
termination of this Agreement.

         6.3  Neither  Servicer  nor  any  person,  firm or  corporation  which,
directly or indirectly owns or controls,  is owned or controlled by, or is under
direct or  indirect  common  ownership  or control  with  Servicer or any person
related by blood or marriage  within the third degree to persons in such control
(an  "Affiliate"),  shall receive any remuneration  (other than  reimbursement),
whether  direct or  indirect,  for any  purchases  of goods or services  made on
behalf of the Relevant Licensee,  the Proposed Operator or Manager,  and neither
Servicer nor any  Affiliate  shall  markup,  increase  the price,  or obtain any
premium  for goods or  services  purchased  by  Servicer on behalf of or for the
benefit of Relevant Licensee, Proposed Operator or Manager.

7.  Relationship  of Parties.  No party to this  Agreement is a partner or joint
venturer  with any other party,  and nothing  herein shall be construed so as to
make  them  such  partners  or  joint  venturers  or  impose  on any of them any
liability as partners or joint venturers.

8. Term and Termination.

         8.1 Unless the Relevant IHS Entities shall  otherwise agree in writing,
on the five-month  anniversary of the date hereof, their obligations as Servicer
hereunder shall be deemed to have been satisfied, terminated and discontinued in
full,  and  Manager  shall be  deemed  to have  assumed  responsibility  for the
performance  thereof.  Servicer and Manager  agree to negotiate any extension of
such five month period in good faith;  provided that in no event shall  Servicer
be required to negotiate any  extension to perform any services  after the first
anniversary of the Effective Time.

         8.2 It is the intention of Manager to assume responsibility for many of
the services  provided by Servicer and  described in Sections 1 and 2 during the
term of this Agreement.  In connection  therewith,  at any time and from time to
time after the date hereof, Manager may advise Servicer, by written notice, that
Servicer may  discontinue  the provision of certain  services  described in such
notice,   in  which  event   Manager  shall  be  deemed  to  have  assumed  full
responsibility  for  providing  such service  hereunder in lieu of Servicer (but
such  discontinuance  of services  shall not  constitute a  termination  of this
Agreement or affect the release referred to in Section 3 above).

         8.3 Subject to the provisions of Section 8.1 that limit the obligations
of Servicer under this  Agreement,  the term of this Agreement shall commence at
the  Effective  Time and shall  terminate  on the [___  anniversary  of the date
hereof;  provided  that  the  term  hereof  shall  automatically  renew  for  an
additional  term of one year,  unless  Manager or SNH shall have given the other
parties hereto written  notice,  not later than 90 days prior to the last day of
the existing term, of its intent to terminate this  Agreement,  effective at the
end of the existing term]. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement or any Sublease,  on such date (a "Sublease Termination Date") as
any IHS Licensee  shall  receive  written  notice from Manager under Section 5.4
confirming  that the Necessary  Licenses  shall have been obtained by a


                                      -15-
<PAGE>

Proposed  Operator with respect to any IHS Facility,  all of the  obligations of
the applicable IHS Licensee under this Agreement  (other than in its capacity as
"Servicer",  subject to  Section  8.1 above and the last  sentence  of Section 1
above) and the  applicable  Sublease  shall  terminate  with respect to such IHS
Facility.  After the first  anniversary of the Effective Time,  Manager shall be
obligated  to pay a fee  (the  "Sublease  Extension  Fee") to IHS at the rate of
$2,000  per  month  per State in which  the  Sublease  Termination  Date has not
occurred with respect to all IHS  Facilities in such State;  provided,  however,
that until the Sublease Termination Date shall have occurred with respect to all
of the IHS Facilities,  the minimum Sublease  Extension Fee shall be at the rate
of $10,000 per month. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement or any Sublease,  each IHS Licensee shall have the right,  at any time
after the first  anniversary of the Effective Time, to terminate the obligations
of such IHS  Licensee  under this  Agreement  and each  applicable  Sublease (by
giving  notice of such  termination  to the Manager) on the earlier to occur of:
(x) the last  administrative bar date established by order of the Court (as such
term is defined in the Settlement Agreement) and of which the SNH Entities shall
have received  timely  notice,  and (y) the second  anniversary of the Effective
Time.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  if Manager shall receive  written notice
from  the  applicable  governmental  licensing  authority  with  respect  to the
Necessary  Licenses for any IHS Facility  that the  Proposed  Operator  shall be
denied any Necessary  License with respect to such IHS  Facility,  then such IHS
Facility shall not  thereafter be included for purposes of  determining  whether
any  Sublease  Extension  Fee shall be payable.  If the Manager or the  Proposed
Operator shall be in default of their  obligations  hereunder to Servicer or the
IHS  Licensees  for more than 30 days  after  written  notice  thereof  from the
Servicer or the IHS  Licensees  to Manager and the Proposed  Operator,  then the
Servicer  and/or the IHS Licensees shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement
and/or any of the Sublease Agreements.

         8.4 Upon the effective date of  termination  of the  obligations of the
Relevant IHS Entities, as Servicer, in accordance with Section 8.1, the Relevant
IHS Entities shall forthwith:

                  (a) pay  over to the  relevant  Proposed  Operator  all  money
         collected  pursuant to this Agreement owned by the Proposed Operator or
         to which the Proposed  Operator is otherwise  entitled pursuant to this
         Agreement or the Settlement Agreement;

                  (b) deliver to Manager, the Relevant Licensee and the Proposed
         Operator a full accounting for all monies then held by the Relevant IHS

of any of its obligations  under this Agreement,  except for breaches  resulting
from  fraud,  bad  faith,  gross  negligence  or  willful  misconduct;  it being
understood  that the actions and omissions of the Personnel  shall not be deemed
to be the  actions or  omissions  of any IHS Entity,  notwithstanding  that such
Personnel may be employees of an IHS Entity or under the  supervision of any IHS
Entity.  The  liability  of  Servicer  shall  survive  the  termination  of this
Agreement.

11. Proprietary Material. The Manager and the Proposed Operators acknowledge and
agree that the Proprietary Property (as defined in the Settlement  Agreement) is
and shall remain (along with any corresponding copyrights or similar rights) the
sole  property of Servicer  and shall not at any time be directly or  indirectly
used, distributed, disclosed, copied or otherwise employed by the Manager or any
Proposed  Operator,  except in the  provision  of the  services by the  Servicer
during  the  term  of  this  Agreement  or to  the  extent  contemplated  by the
Settlement  Agreement.  Upon termination of this Agreement,  the Manager and the
Proposed Operators shall return to the Servicer all such Proprietary Property in
their  possession  or control,  and use their best  efforts to ensure that their
employees  have not  retained  any  Proprietary  Property  and upon  request  by
Servicer,  confirm  compliance with the foregoing in writing.  The provisions of
this Section 11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

12. Miscellaneous.

         12.1  Amendments.  This  Agreement  shall  not  be  changed,  modified,
terminated, or discharged in whole or in part except by an instrument in writing
signed by each of the parties hereto or their respective successors or assigns.

         12.2  Non-Assignability.  This  Agreement  shall not be assigned by any
party without the consent of each other party hereto,  and this Agreement  shall
be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of consented  to  successors  and
assigns.

         12.3  GOVERNING  LAW.  THE  PROVISIONS  OF  THIS  AGREEMENT   SHALL  BE
CONSTRUED,  INTERPRETED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK.

         12.4  Entire  Agreement.  This  Agreement,   together  with  the  other
agreements  contemplated  by,  referred  to in, or  contemplated  by  agreements
referred to herein,  together  constitute  the entire  agreement  of the parties
hereto with respect to the subject  matter  hereof and  supersede and cancel any
preexisting agreements with respect to such subject matter.

         12.5  Headings.  The  headings of the various  articles,  sections  and
subsections  of this Agreement have been inserted for the purpose of convenience
of reference  only,  are not a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed in
any manner to modify, explain, enlarge or restrict any of the provisions of this
Agreement.

         12.6  Attorney's  Fees and  Costs.  If any  action is  brought  for the
enforcement  of this  Agreement,  or because of a  dispute,  breach,  default or
misrepresentation  in connection  with any


                                      -18-
<PAGE>

of the provisions of this Agreement,  the prevailing  party shall be entitled to
recover  reasonable  attorneys'  fees and other costs incurred in that action in
addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled.

         12.7 Confidentiality. The parties agree not to disclose or permit their
respective representatives, attorneys, auditors or agents to disclose, except as
may be required by law or performance  hereunder,  any  confidential  non-public
information  of the others which is obtained by any of them in  connection  with
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

         12.8 Cooperation;  Commercially  Reasonable Efforts.  The parties shall
cooperate in good faith in connection with all actions to be taken to consummate
the  transactions  contemplated  by,  and to enforce  the rights  created by and
perform the responsibilities imposed by, this Agreement.

         12.9   Counterparts.   This   Agreement  may  be  executed  in  several
counterparts,  each of which shall be deemed an original,  but such counterparts
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

         12.10  Responsibility  for Compliance with Law, Etc. During the term of
this Agreement, each Relevant Licensee will use reasonable commercial efforts to
keep in full force and effect all licenses, permits, approvals,  authorizations,
provider  agreements,  and certificates or  determinations of need necessary for
such  Relevant  Licensee  to occupy and operate  its  Facilities  and to receive
Medicare   and   Medicaid   reimbursement   for   services   provided   therein.
Notwithstanding  anything to the  contrary  contained  in this  Agreement or the
Settlement  Agreement,  each of the SNH Entities agrees and acknowledges that no
IHS Licensee  shall be obligated to assume  and/or  assign to any SNH Entity any
Medicare  or  Medicaid  provider  numbers  or  agreements;   provided  that  the
applicable  IHS Licensees  shall use their  commercially  reasonable  efforts to
maintain  such  provider  agreements  and numbers  until they no longer hold the
applicable licenses (so long as maintaining such provider agreements and numbers
do not require  that the IHS  Licensees  assume  such  provider  agreements  and
numbers). The SNH Entities are assuming all risk arising out of their failure to
obtain Medicare and/or Medicaid  provider  numbers or agreements with respect to
any Facilities.  SNH,  Manager and each Proposed  Operator jointly and severally
agree to indemnify each IHS Licensee and Relevant IHS Entity against all Damages
incurred  by such  IHS  Licensee  or  Relevant  IHS  Entity  arising  out of the
discharge from any IHS Facility of any Medicare or Medicaid  beneficiary who was
a resident or patient of such IHS  Facility  immediately  prior to the time that
the  applicable  IHS  Licensee  ceases to hold a Medicare or Medicaid  number or
provider agreement,  resulting from the applicable Proposed Operator's inability
to timely  obtain a Medicare or Medicaid  provider  number or agreement  (to the
extent that such failure to obtain such provider number or agreement was not due
to the act or omission of any IHS Entity).  The provisions of this Section 12.10
shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

         12.11 THE  DECLARATION OF TRUST OF SNH, DATED DECEMBER 16, 1998, A COPY
OF WHICH,  TOGETHER WITH ALL  AMENDMENTS  THERETO (THE  "DECLARATION"),  IS DULY
FILED IN THE OFFICE OF THE DEPARTMENT OF  ASSESSMENTS  AND TAXATION OF THE STATE
OF MARYLAND,  PROVIDES THAT THE NAME "SENIOR HOUSING PROPERTIES TRUST" REFERS TO

UNDER  THE  DECLARATION  COLLECTIVELY  AS  TRUSTEES,  BUT  NOT  INDIVIDUALLY  OR
PERSONALLY, AND THAT NO TRUSTEE, OFFICER, SHAREHOLDER,  EMPLOYEE OR AGENT OF SNH
SHALL  BE  HELD  TO ANY  PERSONAL  LIABILITY,  JOINTLY  OR  SEVERALLY,  FOR  ANY
OBLIGATION OF, OR CLAIM AGAINST,  SNH. ALL PERSONS DEALING WITH SNH, IN ANY WAY,

                                   SNH Release

         Reference  is made to that  certain  Settlement  Agreement  dated as of
April __, 2000 (the "Settlement Agreement") among, inter alia, Integrated Health
Services, Inc. and the other IHS Entities referred to therein and Senior Housing
Properties  Trust and the other SNH  Entities  referred  to  therein.  The terms
defined in the Settlement  Agreement are used herein as therein defined,  unless
otherwise defined herein.

         Each SNH Entity hereby releases and forever discharges each IHS Entity,
and their  respective  successors,  assigns,  agents,  shareholders,  directors,
officers,   employees,   agents,  attorneys,  parent  corporations,   subsidiary
corporations,  affiliated corporations,  affiliates,  and each of them, from any
and all claims,  debts,  liabilities,  demands,  obligations,  costs,  expenses,
actions  and  causes of  action,  of every  nature  and  description,  known and
unknown, whether or not related to the subject matter of the Existing Documents,
which any SNH Entity now has or at any time may hold,  by reason of any  matter,
cause or thing  occurred,  done,  omitted  or  suffered  to be done prior to the
Effective Time; provided that this release shall not release or otherwise affect
or limit any claims, debts, liabilities,  demands, obligations, costs, expenses,
actions  and causes of action  against (i) any IHS Entity  under the  Settlement
Agreement or any other Settlement Document or (ii) HealthSouth, Horizon or their
respective  affiliates (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2  promulgated under
the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934,  as amended).  Each SNH Entity waives the
benefits of any law, which may provide in substance: "A general release does not
extend to claims  which the  creditor  does not know or  suspect to exist in his
favor at the time of  executing  the  release,  which if known by him must  have
materially affected his settlement with the debtor." Each SNH Entity understands
that the facts  which it  believes  to be true at the time of making the release
provided for herein may later turn out to be different than it now believes, and
that  information  which is not now known or suspected may later be  discovered.
Each SNH Entity accepts this  possibility,  and each SNH Entity assumes the risk
of the facts turning out to be different and new information  being  discovered.
Each SNH Entity further agrees that the release provided for herein shall in all
respects  continue  to be  effective  --  and  not  subject  to  termination  or
rescission because of any difference in such facts or any new information.  None
of the SNH  Entities  is  releasing  any IHS  Entity  from  any  claims,  debts,
liabilities,  demands, obligations, costs, expenses, actions or causes of action
except as expressly provided herein or in any other Settlement  Document and the
obligations under the Settlement Documents are specifically  excluded.  Each SNH
Entity  further  acknowledges  that,  from and after the Effective  Time, no IHS
Entity  has any  existing  commitments,  obligations  or  agreements  to advance
credits  or  loans,   or  to  lease   property,   or  make  financial  or  other
accommodations to any SNH Entity, except as may be specifically set forth in the
Settlement Agreement or any other Settlement  Document.  The SNH Entities hereby
represent,  warrant and  covenant,  jointly and  severally,  that the  foregoing
release and  discharge is given on behalf of and shall be  enforceable  against,
each  of  the  SNH  Entities,  their  respective  successors,  assigns,  agents,
shareholders,   directors,   officers,   employees,  agents,  attorneys,  parent
corporations, subsidiary corporations, affiliated corporations, and affiliates.

         THE  DECLARATION  OF TRUST OF EACH OF SNH,  SPTIHS,  HRES1 AND HRES2, A
COPY OF WHICH,  TOGETHER WITH ALL AMENDMENTS THERETO (EACH A "DECLARATION"),  IS
DULY FILED IN THE OFFICE OF THE  DEPARTMENT OF


<PAGE>

ASSESSMENTS  AND  TAXATION  OF THE  STATE OF  MARYLAND,  PROVIDES  THAT THE NAME
"SENIOR HOUSING  PROPERTIES TRUST," "SPTIHS PROPERTIES TRUST," "HRES1 PROPERTIES
TRUST" AND "HRES2 PROPERTIES  TRUST," AS THE CASE MAY BE, REFERS TO THE TRUSTEES
UNDER EACH SUCH  DECLARATION  COLLECTIVELY AS TRUSTEES,  BUT NOT INDIVIDUALLY OR
PERSONALLY, AND THAT NO TRUSTEE, OFFICER, SHAREHOLDER, EMPLOYEE OR AGENT OF SNH,
SPTIHS,  HRES1  OR  HRES2,  AS THE CASE  MAY BE,  SHALL BE HELD TO ANY  PERSONAL
LIABILITY,  JOINTLY OR SEVERALLY,  FOR ANY OBLIGATION OF, OR CLAIM AGAINST, SNH,
SPTIHS,  HRES1 OR HRES2. ALL PERSONS DEALING WITH SNH, SPTIHS, HRES1 OR HRES2 IN
ANY  WAY,  SHALL  LOOK  ONLY TO THE  ASSETS  OF SNH,  SPTIHS,  HRES1  OR  HRES2,
RESPECTIVELY, FOR THE PAYMENT OF ANY SUM OR THE PERFORMANCE OF ANY OBLIGATION.

         THIS RELEASE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND  CONSTRUED IN  ACCORDANCE  WITH,
THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
