expected that each of TMT and PS would use personal funds to exercise the

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION 

         Item 4 is amended and restated as follows:

         On January 3, 1998, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among the Issuer, Meditrust
Corporation ("RECO"), and Meditrust Operating Company ("OPCO"), pursuant to
which the Issuer will merge (the "Merger") with and into RECO, upon the terms
and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

         Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Issuer,
RECO, OPCO, Gary L. Mead and all the Reporting Persons owning at least 250,000
shares (the "Reporting Shareholders") entered into a Shareholders Agreement
pursuant to  which Mr. Mead and such Reporting Shareholders agreed (i) to vote
all their Shares in favor of the Merger and against any other merger or
acquisition proposal and (ii) not to sell any of their Shares until the
earlier of the effective time of the Merger or one year after the termination
of the Merger Agreement.  In addition, such Reporting Shareholders granted to
RECO an option to purchase their Shares at the price to be paid in the Merger
in the event that RECO believes in good faith that the exercise of such option
is necessary to avoid certain unfavorable tax events or a violation of RECO's
charter or bylaws.

         At the request of RECO, the Reporting Shareholders also agreed to
elect to receive all cash in the Merger.  This election, however, will be
subject to the pro-ration procedures in the Merger Agreement and, accordingly,
the Reporting Shareholders believe that they will likely receive a significant
amount of stock in the Merger. 

         The foregoing description of the Shareholders Agreement is qualified
in its entirety by reference to the Shareholders Agreement, a copy of which is
attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2.

to grant REIT an option to purchase the Shares owned by Shareholders on the
terms and conditions contained herein.

        NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as  follows:

             I.  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SHAREHOLDERS

        The Shareholders hereby represent and warrant to REIT and 
OPCO
 as
follows:

        1.1   Due Authority.  The Shareholders have full power and authority
to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform their obligations
hereunder and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.  This Agreement
has been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Shareholders and,
assuming its due authorization, execution and delivery by REIT and 
OPCO
,
constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Shareholders,
enforceable against them in accordance with their terms.

        1.2  No Conflict; Consents. (a) The execution and delivery of this
Agreement by the Shareholders do not, and the performance by the Shareholders
of their obligations under this Agreement and the compliance by the

applicable to any of the Shareholders or the Shares, (ii) conflict with or
violate the instruments under which any of the Shareholders were formed, (iii)

in the creation of a lien or encumbrance on any of the Shares pursuant to, any

rule or resolution applicable to any of the Shareholders or any of the Shares.

        (b)  The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Shareholders

require any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or filing with

regulatory authority by the Shareholders.

        (c)  No other person or entity has or will have during the Proxy Term

        1.6  Tax Representations.  (a) Neither the issuance of Paired Shares
(as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement) to the Shareholders in
connection with the Merger nor the other transactions contemplated by this
Agreement will cause any person to violate the restrictions on ownership and
transfer contained in

to REIT such information as REIT may reasonably request so that REIT may
confirm the accuracy of this representation.  

        (b)  No Shareholder has or will have at the Effective Date any
present plan, intention, or arrangement to sell or dispose of any of the
Paired Shares to be received in the Merger.  For purposes of this Section 1.6,
a sale or disposition includes any  constructive sale  within the meaning of

(the  Code ).

amount that is treated as other than  rents from real property  by reason of
Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code and without limiting the foregoing agrees to
provide to REIT as promptly as practical all relevant information and
documents (or, with respect to information and documents which such
Shareholder does not have or own, use commercially reasonable efforts to
obtain and provide them to REIT as promptly as practical) which REIT
reasonably requests in connection with such determination and investigation.



                                   ARTICLE IV

                                   STANDSTILL

        
(a)
        Each Shareholder hereby covenants and agrees that from and after
the Effective Time hereof neither such Shareholder nor any of the Affiliates
will, without the prior written consent of REIT specifically expressed in a
vote adopted after the Merger by the Board of Directors of REIT (the  Board ),
directly or indirectly, purchase or cause to be purchased or otherwise acquire
(other than pursuant to a stock split, stock dividend or similar transaction
or agree to acquire, or become or agree to become the beneficial owner of, any
additional equity securities, or any securities convertible into or
exercisable or exchangeable for any equity securities (collectively,  Stock )
of REIT, 
OPCO
, or any of their subsidiaries. 
 During the first 90 calendar
days from and after the date the Merger becomes effective (the  Effective
Time ), each Shareholder will not directly or indirectly sell, assign,
transfer, pledge (except that such Shareholder may pledge shares to a
brokerage firm pursuant to a margin account with customary terms) or otherwise
dispose of, or enter into any put or other contract, option or other
arrangement or undertaking with respect to the direct or indirect sale,
assignment, transfer or other disposition of, any common stock of REIT ( REIT
Common Stock ) or common stock of OPCO ( OPCO Common Stock ) to be received by
such Shareholder in the Merger. After such 90-day period, the Shareholders
will have the benefit of the rights granted pursuant to the Registration
Rights Agreement to be executed by the Shareholders, REIT and OPCO prior to
the Effective Time (the  Registration Rights Agreement ).  Each
 
Shareholder


further agrees
 that 
after such 90-day period neither
 it nor any Affiliates
will, without the prior written consent of the Board specifically expressed in
a vote adopted by the Board, directly or 
indirectly sell, assign, transfer,
pledge (except that such Shareholder may pledge shares to a brokerage firm
pursuant to a margin account with customary terms) or otherwise dispose of, or
enter into any put or other contract, option or other arrangement or
undertaking with respect to the direct or indirect sale, assignment, transfer
or other disposition of,
 
any
 shares of 
Stock,
 except for (
i
) transfers made
pursuant to the provisions of Section 
4(b)
 below, (ii) transfers to
Affiliates, or to charitable remainder trusts, that agree in 
a
 written
agreement with REIT pursuant to which such Transferee agrees to be bound by
all of the terms and conditions of, and makes, as of a time immediately prior
to such transfer, each of the representations and warranties contained in
(applied to such Transferee as if such Affiliate were 
any Shareholder
 for
purposes thereof), this 
Agreement
 (provided that such Shareholder shall remain
liable under and bound by this Agreement, in its entirety, with respect to all
such transferred 
Stock,
 (iii) bona fide pledges to financial institutions,
such as commercial or investment banks, broker/dealers, insurance companies
and finance companies and resales thereof by the 
pledgees
 thereof pursuant to
the terms of the applicable pledge agreements, (iv) gifts to charitable
institutions, (v) transfers pursuant to a publicly announced tender offer for
any shares of Stock by any corporation, entity, person or group (other than

any Shareholder
 or the Affiliates) which the Board has voted to recommend to
holders of any such shares of Stock, (vi) transfers effected pursuant to a
registration statement filed pursuant to a registration rights agreement with
REIT or 
OPCO and any
 Shareholder 
or, after the first anniversary of the
Effective Time, pursuant to Rule 145(d) promulgated under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the  Securities Act ), and
 (vii) open market sales of not
more than 
1.0%
 of the outstanding 
shares of REIT Common Stock or OPCO Common
Stock in
 any ninety (90) day period (calculated in the aggregate with respect
to all sales by the Shareholders and the Affiliates, other than sales made
pursuant to any of clauses (
i
) through (vi) of this Section 
4(a))
 effected in
accordance with the  brokers  transactions  restrictions of subsections (f)
(excluding the last sentence thereof) and (g) of Rule 144 promulgated under
the Securities Act of 1933, as 
amended; provided, however, that
notwithstanding anything in this Section 4(a) to the contrary, the
Shareholders and their Affiliates shall not in the aggregate sell (which for
this purpose shall include the entering into any put or other contract, option
or other arrangement or undertaking with respect to the direct or indirect
sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of Stock), including any Stock
sold pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof, more than 1,300,000, 2,000,000,
2,000,000, 2,500,000 and 2,500,000 shares of REIT Common Stock or OPCO Common
Stock (the  Quarterly Limits ) in any of the ninety-day periods which begin on
the 91st, 181st, 271st, 361st and 451st day, respectively, after the Effective
Time and provided further, however, that if in any such ninety-day period (a
 Calculation Period ) REIT or OPCO exercise their rights under the provisions
of Section 3 or Section 4 of the Registration Rights Agreement to suspend or
defer the Shareholders  rights to sell Stock for a number of days in such
period, then the Quarterly Limit for each succeeding ninety-day period shall
be increased by the excess, if any, of (A) the Quarterly Limit for the
Calculation Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is such
number of days and the denominator of which is ninety, over (B) the aggregate
number of shares of Stock sold by the Shareholders and the Affiliates in each
ninety day period after the Calculation Period over the Quarterly Limit (prior
to any adjustment) for such period.
  For purposes of this Agreement, the
 Affiliates  of any Shareholder shall mean any person or entity who 
directly
or indirectly controls,
 is controlled by, or is under common control with any
Shareholder, and   transfer  shall mean and include any sale, assignment,
gift, pledge, the imposition of any other encumbrance or any other disposition
or any agreement or obligation to do any of the foregoing. 

        (b)  If any Shareholder or any Affiliate desires to sell any shares
of Stock (a  Selling Stockholder ) (other than pursuant to clauses (ii)
through (vii) of Section 
4(a)
 hereof), the Shareholders will cause the
following requirements to be satisfied:

             (
i
)       The Selling Stockholder shall notify REIT in writing of the
proposed sale (the  Notice of Proposed Transfer ).  The Notice of Proposed
Transfer shall identify and, to the extent known by the Selling Stockholder,
provide reasonable information concerning the background, business experience
and business affiliations of the proposed transferee (the  Transferee ), the
purchase price or other consideration, if any, the number of shares and type
of Stock to be transferred and the complete terms of the proposed transaction. 

             (ii) For a period of five (5) business days following the
receipt of the Notice of Proposed Transfer, REIT and/or any substitute
designated by REIT (REIT and/or such substitute designee is hereinafter
sometimes called the  Buyer ) shall have the option to purchase all, but not
less than all, the Stock specified in the Notice of Proposed Transfer at the
price and upon the terms set forth in the Notice of Proposed Transfer;
provided, however, that if the type of consideration that was to be paid was
non-cash consideration, then the amount payable by the Buyer for such Stock
shall be determined by an independent investment banker of national reputation
chosen by mutual agreement of REIT and such Selling Stockholder.  In the event
that Buyer elects to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Stock
specified in the Notice of Proposed Transfer, it shall give written notice to
the Selling Stockholder of its election, in which case settlement for said
Stock shall be made and the Buyer shall purchase such Stock for such price, in
cash within five (5) business days after the date Buyer sends such notice.  In
the event that Buyer elects not to purchase all of the Stock specified in the
Notice of Proposed Transfer, the Selling Stockholder may consummate the
proposed transfer of said Stock with the Transferee at any time during the
following thirty (30) days.


        (c)
        Each Shareholder hereby agrees that, from and after the
Effective Time and prior to the 
third anniversary
 of the Effective Time,
neither such Shareholder nor any of the Affiliates will, directly or
indirectly, or will solicit, request, advise, assist or encourage others,
directly or indirectly, to:

             (a)  form, join in or in any other way participate in a
         partnership, limited partnership, syndicate or other group  within
        the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act with respect to
        any Stock or deposit any Stock in a voting trust or similar
        arrangement or subject any Stock to any voting agreement or pooling
        arrangement, other than solely with one or more Affiliates with
        respect to the Shares;

             (b)  solicit proxies or written consents of shareholders with
        respect to Stock under any circumstances, or make, or in any way
        participate in, any  solicitation  of any  proxy  to vote any shares
        of Stock, or become a  participant  in any election contest with
        respect to REIT or 
        OPCO
         (as such terms are defined or used in Rules
        
        14a
        -1 and 
        14a
        -11 under the Exchange Act);

             (c)  seek to call, or to request the call of, a special meeting
        of the shareholders of REIT or 
        OPCO

             (d)  commence or announce any intention to commence any tender
        offer for any Stock, or file with or send to the SEC a Schedule

        13D
        , if any, to be filed with the SEC
        in connection with the issuance to one or more of the Shareholders of

         ), and (y) any amendment to the Current
        Schedule 
        13D
         to reflect changes to the disclosures set forth therein
        and exhibits filed therewith, to the extent such changes result from
        actions that are not prohibited by or inconsistent with this
        Agreement (such permitted amendments and additional exhibits to the
        Current Schedule 
        13D
         being referred to as the  Permitted Schedule 
        13D

        be made or disclosed publicly, facilitate the making public or public
        disclosure of, any proposal or bid with respect to, the acquisition

        , any of the
        Shareholders or Affiliates), to obtain any waiver or amendment of any
        provision of this Agreement, or to take any action restricted hereby.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Shareholder and the Affiliates, if
applicable, may make such filings with the SEC pursuant to Section 16(a) of
the Exchange Act to reflect changes in the beneficial ownership of any shares
of Stock owned by Shareholder or any Affiliate (to the extent such changes
reflect action taken by any Shareholder or such Affiliate which is not
prohibited by this Agreement).

i
) above
inclusive, if such person or entity could reasonably be deemed to be capable
of effecting, participating in or materially assisting in such an action or

                                    OPTIONS
                                TO PURCHASE SHARES

        5.1  Grant of 
Options.
  Subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions contained in this Agreement, each Shareholder hereby grants to REIT
and its designees an option to purchase 
part
 or all of the Shares held by such
Shareholder at the Exercise Price (as hereinafter defined) per share (the
options granted hereby are referred to individually as an  Option  and
collectively as the  Options ).

        5.2  
Exercisability
 of Options; Procedures 
for
 Exercise of Options. 


             (a)  
If the REIT believes in good faith that the receipt by one
or more of the Shareholders of Paired Shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement
will or may cause (X) such Shareholder or any other person to own, or be
deemed to own under the applicable attribution rules of Section 318 (as
modified by Section 856(d)(5)) of the Code, immediately after the Merger
Paired Shares of REIT Common Stock and OPCO
 Common Stock in excess of the
amounts or percentages of the outstanding Paired Shares of REIT Common Stock
and 
OPCO
 Common Stock permitted to be owned thereby by REIT s Certificate of
Incorporation or By-laws, both as amended through the Effective Time, or (Y)
any amount derived or received by, or allocated to, REIT to fail to qualify as
 rents from real property  by reason of Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code (such
limitations set forth in the foregoing clauses (X) and (Y) being referred to
herein collectively as the  Paired Ownership Limitations ), then REIT shall
have the right to exercise one or more of the Options in whole or 
in part in

order to reduce or eliminate any possibility that the issuance of Paired
Shares in the Merger will cause any of the Paired Ownership 
Limitations
 to be

exceeded
 or violated.  
In addition, REIT may exercise one or more of the
Options if any Shareholder does not comply with the provisions of Section 3.7
or of Section 3.8.  If
 REIT chooses to exercise one or more of such Options in
whole or in part, it may do so only by sending a written notice to one or more
of the Shareholders from and after the Election Deadline and prior to the
Effective Time stating its intention to exercise such Option or Options, which
notice 
shall be sent to any such Shareholder c/o William P. Hallman, Suite
3200, Texas Commerce Bank Tower, 201 Main Street, Fort Worth, Texas 76102 and
shall
 include a date and time at which the closing for 
any such
 exercise (the
 Option Closing ) shall occur, such date to be not less than one business day
and not more than five business days after the giving of such notice.  The
sale and delivery and the purchase and acceptance of the Shares being acquired
shall take place at the offices of 
Goodwin
, 
Procter
 & Hoar  
LLP
 at Exchange
Place, Boston, Massachusetts, or such other place as shall be mutually agreed
upon by REIT and such Shareholder.

             (b)  At each Option Closing, REIT or its designee shall pay the
Exercise Price (as determined pursuant to Section 5.3 below) for each Share
being purchased in cash by a cashiers check or federal funds wire transfer to
an account designated by such Shareholder against delivery of any necessary or
appropriate stock certificates and duly executed instruments of transfer to
REIT or its designee. 

Each Shareholder represents and warrants to REIT and its designee that upon
payment of the applicable purchase price at each Option Closing, such
Shareholder shall have transferred to REIT or its designee the legal and
beneficial ownership of the Shares being sold at such Option Closing, free and
clear of any liens, encumbrances, charges, restrictions or other adverse
claims.

        5.3  Exercise Price.  The exercise price (the  Exercise Price ) shall
equal the Maximum Cash Consideration Per 
Share, as such term is defined in the
Merger Agreement.


        5.4  Escrow.  Upon request by REIT, each Shareholder agrees to place
the Shares subject to the Options in escrow with a mutually agreeable escrow
agent until the termination of the Options.

        5.5  Term of Options.  The Options shall terminate on the earlier of
(
i
) the termination of the Merger Agreement and (ii) the Effective Time.



                     VI.  MISCELLANEOUS; GENERAL PROVISIONS

        6.1  Severability.  If any term or other provision of this Agreement
is determined to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any
rule of law or public policy, all other
conditions and provisions of this Agreement will nevertheless remain in full
force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the
transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially
adverse to any party.  Upon such determination that any term or other
provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties
hereto will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect
the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law in an acceptable manner to the end that the
transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

        6.2   Entire Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement of the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings,
both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter
hereof.

        6.3  Amendments.  This Agreement may not be modified, amended,
waived, altered or supplemented, except upon the execution and delivery of a
written agreement executed by the parties hereof.

        6.4  Assignment.  This Agreement may not be assigned by operation of
law or otherwise.

        6.5   Parties in Interest.  This Agreement is binding upon, and shall
inure solely to the benefit of, each party hereto and nothing in this
Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or will confer upon any other
person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by
reason of this Agreement.

        6.6  Specific Performance.  The parties hereto agree that irreparable
damage would occur in the event any provision of this Agreement was not
performed in accordance with the terms hereof or was otherwise breached.  It
is accordingly agreed that the parties will be entitled to specific relief
hereunder including, without limitation, an injunction or injunctions to
prevent and enjoin breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce
specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in any state or federal court in

the State of Delaware,
 in addition to any other remedy to which they may be
entitled at law or in equity.  Any requirements for the securing or posting of
any bond with respect to any such remedy are hereby waived.

        6.7  Governing Law; Jurisdiction and Venue.  This Agreement shall be
governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the 
State
of
 
Delaware without
 regard to its rules of conflict of laws.  The parties
hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent to and submit to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the 
Delaware Courts
 for any litigation arising out
of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (and
agrees not to commence any litigation relating thereto except in such courts),
waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such litigation in the

Delaware Courts
 and agrees not to plead or claim in any 
Delaware Court
 that
such litigation brought therein has been brought in any inconvenient forum.

        6.8  Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts,
each of which when executed will be deemed to be an original but all of which
taken together will constitute one and the same agreement.

        6.9  Directors and Officers.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the covenants and agreements set forth herein shall not prevent any
Shareholder or its representatives or designees who are serving on the Board
of Directors of the Company or who are officers of the Company from taking any
action, subject to the applicable provisions of the Merger Agreement, in his
or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company.
