                                    PART I
 
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
 
  Nationwide Health Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation organized in
October 1985 (the "Company"), is a real estate investment trust ("REIT") which
invests primarily in health care related facilities and provides financing to
health care providers. As of December 31, 1995, the Company had investments in
210 facilities located in 30 states. The facilities include 173 long-term
health care facilities, 35 assisted living facilities and two rehabilitation
hospitals.
 
  As of December 31, 1995, the Company had direct ownership of 136 long-term
health care facilities, 30 assisted living facilities and two rehabilitation
hospitals (the "Properties"). All of the Company's owned facilities are leased
under "net" leases (the "Leases"), which are accounted for as operating
leases, to 33 health care providers (the "Lessees") including Beverly
Enterprises, Inc. ("Beverly"), ARV Assisted Living, Inc., Sun Healthcare
Group, Inc., Horizon/CMS Healthcare Corporation, Living Centers of America,
Inc., GranCare, Inc., Integrated Health Services, Inc. and HEALTHSOUTH
Corporation. Of the Lessees, only Beverly is expected to account for more than
10% of the Company's revenues in 1996.
 
  The Leases have initial terms ranging from 10 to 19 years, and the Leases
generally have two or more multiple-year renewal options. The Company earns
fixed monthly minimum rents and may earn periodic additional rents. The
additional rent payments are generally computed as a percentage of facility
net patient revenues in excess of base amounts. The base amounts, in most
cases, are net patient revenues for the first year of the lease. Most Leases
contain cross collateralization and cross default provisions tied to other
Leases with the same Lessee, as well as grouped lease renewals and grouped
purchase options. Obligations under the Leases have corporate guarantees, and
leases covering 99 facilities are backed by irrevocable letters of credit or
security deposits which cover from 1 to 12 months of monthly minimum rents.
Under the terms of the Leases, the Lessee is responsible for all maintenance,
repairs, taxes and insurance on the leased properties.
 
  As of December 31, 1995, the Company held 28 mortgage loans secured by 37
long-term health care facilities and five assisted living facilities. Such
loans had an aggregate outstanding principal balance of approximately
$144,232,000 and a net book value of approximately $133,226,000 at December
31, 1995. The mortgage loans have individual outstanding principal balances
ranging from approximately $819,000 to $13,141,000 and have maturities ranging
from 1996 to 2047.
 
  During 1995, the Company acquired 27 assisted living facilities for an
aggregate purchase price of $141,278,000. Additionally, the Company provided
five mortgage loans, secured by two long-term health care facilities and four
assisted living facilities in an aggregate amount of $35,237,000.
 
  The Company anticipates providing lease or mortgage financing for health
care facilities to qualified operators and acquiring additional health care
related facilities, including long-term health care facilities, assisted
living facilities and acute care hospitals. Financing for such future
investments may be provided by borrowings under the Company's bank line of
credit, private placements or public offerings of debt or equity, and the
assumption of secured indebtedness.
 
TAXATION OF THE COMPANY
 
  The Company believes that it has operated in such a manner as to qualify for
taxation as a "real estate investment trust" under Sections 856 through 860 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), commencing with
its taxable year ending December 31, 1985, and the Company intends to continue
to operate in such a manner. If the Company qualifies for taxation as a real
estate investment trust, it will generally not be subject to federal corporate
income taxes on its net income that is currently distributed to stockholders.
This treatment substantially eliminates the "double taxation" (e.g. at the
corporate and stockholder levels) that generally results from investment in
stock of a corporation.

PROPERTIES
 
  Of the 210 facilities in which the Company has investments, the Company has
direct ownership of 136 long-term health care facilities, 30 assisted living
facilities and two rehabilitation hospitals. The properties are leased to
other parties under terms which require the lessee, in addition to paying
rent, to pay all additional charges, taxes, assessments, levies and fees
incurred in the operation of the leased properties.
 
 Long-Term Health Care Facilities
 
  Long-term health care facilities provide rehabilitative, restorative,
skilled nursing and medical treatment for patients and residents who do not
require the high-technology, care-intensive, high-cost setting of an acute-
care or rehabilitative hospital. Treatment programs include physical,
occupational, speech, respiratory and other therapeutic programs, including
sub-acute clinical protocols such as wound care and intravenous drug
treatment.
 
 Assisted Living Facilities
 
  Assisted living facilities provide services to aid in everyday living, such
as bathing, routine or special meals, security, transportation, recreation,
medication supervision and limited therapeutic programs. More intensive
medical needs of the residents are often met within the Company's assisted
living facilities by home health providers, close coordination with the
individual's physician and skilled nursing facilities. Assisted living
facilities are increasingly successful as lower cost, less institutional
alternatives to the health problems of the elderly or medically frail.
 
 Rehabilitation Hospitals
 
  Rehabilitation hospitals provide inpatient and outpatient medical care to
patients requiring high intensity physical, respiratory, neurological,
orthopedic and other treatment protocols and for intermediate periods in their
recovery. These programs are often the most effective in treating severe
skeletal or neurological injuries and traumatic diseases such as stroke or
acute arthritis.

    the facility net patient revenues in excess of a base amount, may also be
    paid. The 1995 additional rent amounts reflect additional rent accrued in
    1995.

  As of December 31, 1995, 45 of the Company's 168 owned facilities were being
leased to and operated by subsidiaries of Beverly Enterprises, Inc.
("Beverly"). Beverly has guaranteed certain obligations of its subsidiaries
and of certain parties unaffiliated with Beverly in connection with 24
properties operated by such parties. The Company expects that as new
facilities are acquired, an increasing percentage of its facilities will be
leased to operators unaffiliated with Beverly. For additional financial
information regarding Beverly, see Appendix 1 attached as part of this Annual
Report on Form 10-K.
 
COMPETITION
 
  The Company generally competes with other REITs, real estate partnerships,
health care providers and other investors, including, but not limited to,
banks and insurance companies, in the acquisition, leasing and financing of
health care facilities. The operators of the health care facilities compete on
a local and regional basis with operators of facilities that provide
comparable services. Operators compete for patients based on quality of care,
reputation, physical appearance of facilities, services offered, family
preferences, physicians, staff and price.
 
REGULATION
 
  Payments for health care services provided by the operators of the Company's
facilities are received principally from four sources: Medicaid, a medical
assistance program for the indigent, operated by individual states with the
financial participation of the federal government; private funds; Medicare, a
federal health insurance program for the aged and certain chronically disabled
individuals; and health and other insurance plans. Government revenue sources,
particularly Medicaid programs, are subject to statutory and regulatory
changes, administrative rulings, and government funding restrictions, all of
which may materially increase or decrease the rates of payment to nursing
facilities and the amount of additional rents payable to the Company under the
Leases. There is no assurance that payments under such programs will remain at
levels comparable to the present levels or be sufficient to cover all the
operating and fixed costs allocable to Medicaid and Medicare patients.
 
  Health care facilities in which the Company invests are also generally
subject to state licensure statutes and regulations and statutes which may
require regulatory approval, in the form of a certificate of need ("CON"),
prior to the addition or construction of new beds, the addition of services or
certain capital expenditures. CON requirements generally do not apply to
assisted living facilities. CON requirements are not uniform throughout the
United States and are subject to change. The Company cannot predict the impact
of regulatory changes with respect to licensure and CON's on the operations of
the Company's lessees and mortgagees.
 
EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE COMPANY
 
  The table below sets forth the name, position and age of each executive
officer of the Company. Each executive officer of the Company is appointed by
its Board of Directors, serves at the pleasure of the Board and holds office
until a successor is elected, or until the earliest of death, resignation or
removal. There is no "family relationship" between any of the named executive
officers or any director of the Company. All information is given as of
January 31, 1996.

(1) Industry analysts generally consider funds from operations to be an
    alternative measure of the performance of an equity REIT. Funds from
    operations is generally defined as income before extraordinary items plus
    certain non-cash items, primarily depreciation, less gains on sales of
    facilities. Funds from operations does not represent cash generated from
    operating activities as defined by generally accepted accounting
    principles (funds from operations does not include changes in operating
    assets and liabilities) and, therefore, should not be considered as an
    alternative to net income as the primary indicator of operating
    performance or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
  During 1995, the Company acquired 27 assisted living facilities in 14
separate transactions for an aggregate purchase price of approximately
$141,278,000. The acquisitions were funded by bank borrowings on the Company's
bank line of credit, cash on hand and assumed indebtedness of approximately
$9,304,000. The facilities were concurrently leased under terms generally
similar to the Company's existing leases. Additionally, the Company provided
five mortgage loans secured by two long-term health care facilities and four
assisted living facilities in the aggregate amount of $35,237,000. Such
mortgages were funded by bank borrowings on the Company's bank line of credit
and cash on hand. In addition, the Company received a principal repayment of
approximately $9,800,000 in connection with the maturity of one mortgage loan
secured by two long-term health care facilities. The proceeds were used to
repay short-term bank borrowings.
 
  In addition to the acquisitions, the Company provided capital improvement
funding in the aggregate amount of approximately $3,061,000 in accordance with
certain existing lease provisions. Such capital improvements will result in an
increase in the minimum rents earned by the Company.
 
  During April 1995, the Company sold two long-term health care facilities to
Beverly Enterprises, Inc., the lessee of such facilities, for an aggregate
purchase price of $6,250,000. The Company received $625,000 in cash and
$5,625,000 in mortgage notes which are secured by the two facilities. The
related gain of approximately $3,864,000 on such sale will be recognized into
income on a deferred basis in proportion to the receipt of principal payments
on the mortgage loans provided by the Company.
 
  During 1995, the Company issued $100,000,000 in aggregate principal amount
of medium-term notes. The notes bear fixed interest at a weighted average
interest rate of 7.8% and have a weighted average maturity of 7.3 years. The
proceeds were used to paydown borrowings on the Company's bank line of credit.
 
  In May 1995, the Company issued a notice of redemption and expiration of
conversion privilege in connection with its 8.9% senior subordinated
convertible debentures due 2001. Of the $2,277,000 in debentures outstanding
at the time of notice, $2,267,000 of debentures were converted into 177,788
shares of the Company's common stock and the remaining $10,000 in debentures
were redeemed at par plus accrued interest.
 
  In June 1995, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of common stock in a
public offering at a price of $18.75 per share. Proceeds from the offering,
net of underwriters' fees and associated expenses, were approximately
$35,484,000. The net proceeds were used to repay borrowings under the
Company's bank line of credit.
 
  In July 1995, the Company amended the terms of its bank line of credit to,
among other things, extend its maturity date to March 31, 1998 and to provide
the Company with the option to automatically extend the bank line of credit to
a three year maturity with concurrence of the bank group. Additionally, the
pricing structure was amended to provide for reduced borrowing costs as the
Company's debt ratings are upgraded and to reduce the current pricing from
LIBOR plus 125 basis points to LIBOR plus 90 basis points. In January 1996,
the maturity date of the Company's bank line of credit was extended to March
31, 1999.
 
  During September 1995, the Company sold one long-term health care facility
to the lessee of such facility pursuant to a purchase option in the facility's
lease. The Company received cash of approximately $8,344,000 of which
approximately $4,796,000 was used to repay a mortgage secured by such facility
and the balance was used to repay bank borrowings. The sale resulted in a gain
of approximately $989,000.
 
  At December 31, 1995, the Company had $6,100,000 available under its
$100,000,000 bank line of credit. At January 31, 1996, the Company has
effective shelf registrations on file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under which the Company may issue (a) up to $200,000,000 in
aggregate principal amount of medium-term notes and (b) up to $97,500,000 of
securities including debt, convertible debt, common and preferred stock. The
Company anticipates issuing securities under such shelf registrations to repay
borrowings under the Company's bank line of credit.
 
                                       7
<PAGE>
 
  The Company anticipates making additional investments in health care related
facilities. Financing for such future investments may be provided by
borrowings under the Company's bank line, private placements or public
offerings of debt or equity, and the assumption of secured indebtedness. The
Company believes it has sufficient liquidity and financing capability to
finance future investments as well as repay borrowings at or prior to their
maturity.
 
OPERATING RESULTS
 
 Year Ended December 31, 1995 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1994
 
  Revenues increased $12,043,000, or 17% in 1995 as compared to 1994. The
increase was primarily due to increased minimum rent and interest income
resulting from the addition of 33 facilities during 1995, combined with a full
year of revenues earned by facilities acquired in 1994. The increase was also
attributable to increased additional rent and additional interest earned under
the Company's existing leases and mortgage loans receivable and to a gain on
the sale of one of the Company's facilities.
 
  Total expenses increased $6,485,000, or 26% in 1995 as compared to 1994. The
increase was primarily due to increased interest expense as a result of
increased borrowings on the Company's bank line of credit and the issuance of
$100,000,000 in medium-term notes during 1995. The increase in total expenses
was also attributable to increased depreciation due to the acquisition of
additional facilities in the last 12 months.
 
  The Company expects increased rental revenues due to the addition of
facilities to its property base during 1995 and due to increased additional
rents under its leases. The Company also expects increased interest income
resulting from additional investments in mortgage loans during 1995.
Additional investments in health care facilities would also increase rental
and/or interest income. As additional investments in facilities are made,
depreciation and/or interest expense could also increase. Any such increases,
however, are expected to be more than offset by rents or interest income
associated with the investments.
 
 Year Ended December 31, 1994 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1993
 
  Revenues increased $9,600,000, or 16% in 1994 as compared to 1993. The
increase was primarily due to increased minimum rent as a result of the
addition of 15 facilities in 1994, combined with a full year's minimum rent on
facilities acquired in 1993. The increase was also attributable to increased
additional rent resulting from increased facility patient revenues and
increased interest income due to additional investments in mortgage loans.
 
  Total expenses increased $5,783,000, or 30% in 1994 as compared to 1993. The
increase was primarily due to an increase in interest expense due to the
issuance of $65,000,000 of convertible debentures in November 1993 and to
increased levels of bank borrowings and higher short-term interest rates in
1994. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense in
connection with the conversion of a portion of the Company's senior
subordinated convertible debentures during 1994. Increased expenses were also
attributable to increased depreciation as a result of acquisitions during 1994
and 1993.
 
 Year Ended December 31, 1993 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1992
 
  Revenues increased $10,440,000, or 21% in 1993 as compared to 1992. The
increase was primarily due to increased minimum rent and interest income as a
result of the addition of 19 facilities and five mortgage loans to the
Company's portfolio in 1993, combined with a full year's minimum rent and
interest income on facilities and mortgage loans acquired in 1992. Revenues
also increased due to increased additional rent resulting from increased
facility patient revenues and an increase in the number of facilities from
which the Company earns additional rent.
 
  Total expenses decreased $875,000, or 4% in 1993 as compared to 1992. The
decrease was primarily due to a decrease in interest expense in connection
with the conversion of a substantial portion of the Company's senior
subordinated convertible debentures. Of the original issuance of $50,000,000
in aggregate principal amount of debentures in October 1991, $35,846,000 and
$5,545,000 of such debentures were converted into shares of the Company common
stock in 1993 and 1992, respectively. This decrease was partially offset by
increased interest
 
                                       8
<PAGE>
 
expense due to the issuance of $65,000,000 of convertible debentures in
November 1993, increased depreciation as a result of acquisitions during 1993
and 1992 and increased general and administrative expenses.
 
  The Company recorded an extraordinary charge of $2,004,000 in 1993,
representing the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs and fees
associated with the prepayment of a mortgage bond due in the year 2000 secured
by 19 of the Company's facilities.
 
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
 
  The Company will be required to adopt new accounting standards in the
future. In 1996, the Company will be required to adopt Statement of Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 121 Accounting for the Impairment if Certain Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of and SFAS No. 123 Accounting
for Stock Based Compensation. The Company anticipates that the adoption of
SFAS No. 121 and SFAS No. 123 will not materially impact the financial
statements.

                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Stockholders and Directors,
 Nationwide Health Properties, Inc.
 
  We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Nationwide
Health Properties, Inc. (a Maryland corporation) and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1995. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
  We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
 
  In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Nationwide Health
Properties, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                 YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993
 
1. ORGANIZATION
 
  Nationwide Health Properties, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on
October 14, 1985 in the State of Maryland. The Company operates as a real
estate investment trust specializing in investments in health care related
properties and as of December 31, 1995 had investments in 210 health care
facilities, consisting of 173 long-term health care facilities, 35 assisted
living facilities and two rehabilitation hospitals. At December 31, 1995, the
Company owned 136 long-term health care facilities, 30 assisted living
facilities and two rehabilitation hospitals and held 28 mortgage loans secured
by 37 long-term health care facilities and five assisted living facilities.
 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 Basis of Presentation
 
  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company,
its wholly-owned subsidiaries and its investment in its majority owned and
controlled joint venture. All material intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated.
 
 Stock Split & Reclassifications
 
  On January 19, 1996, the Board of Directors of Nationwide Health Properties,
Inc. authorized a two-for-one split of the Company's common stock to be
effective on March 8, 1996. The financial statements included herein have been
restated to reflect the stock split. Additionally, certain amounts in the 1994
and 1993 financial statements have been reclassified for consistent financial
statement presentation.
 
 Land, Buildings and Improvements
 
  The Company records properties at cost and uses the straight-line method of
depreciation for buildings and improvements over their estimated remaining
useful lives of up to 40 years. The Company provides accelerated depreciation
on certain of its investments based primarily on an estimation of net
realizable value of such investments at the end of the primary lease terms.
 
 Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
  Cash in excess of daily requirements is invested in money market mutual
funds, commercial paper and repurchase agreements with maturities of three
months or less. Such investments are deemed to be cash equivalents for
purposes of presentation in the financial statements.
 
 Federal Income Taxes
 
  The Company qualifies as a real estate investment trust under Sections 856
through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Company
intends to continue to qualify as such and therefore to distribute at least
95% of its real estate investment trust taxable income to its stockholders.
Accordingly, the Company will not be subject to Federal income taxes on its
income which is distributed to stockholders. Therefore, no provisions for
Federal income taxes have been made in the Company's financial statements. The
net difference in the tax basis and the reported amounts of the Company's
assets and liabilities as of December 31, 1995 is approximately ($4,262,000).
 
 Revenue Recognition
 
  Rental income from operating leases is accrued as earned over the life of
the lease agreements. Interest income on real estate mortgages is recognized
using the effective interest method based upon the expected payments over the
lives of the mortgages.
 
                                      15
<PAGE>
 
 Net Income Per Share
 
  Net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The effect of
common stock options and converted debentures is immaterial, and the effect of
convertible debentures is anti-dilutive.
 
 Funds From Operations
 
  Industry analysts generally consider funds from operations to be an
alternative measure of the performance of an equity REIT. Funds from
operations is generally defined as net income plus certain non-cash items,
primarily depreciation of real property, less gains on sales of facilities.
Funds from operations does not represent cash generated from operating
activities as defined by generally accepted accounting principles (funds from
operations does not include changes in operating assets and liabilities) and,
therefore, should not be considered as an alternative to net income as the
primary indicator of operating performance or to cash flow as a measure of
liquidity.
 
 Use of Estimates
 
  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
3. EXTRAORDINARY ITEMS
 
  The prepayment of a portion of the Company's secured debt during 1993
resulted in an extraordinary charge of $2,004,000, representing the write-off
of unamortized deferred financing costs and fees associated with such
prepayment.
 
4. REAL ESTATE PROPERTIES
 
  All of the Company's owned facilities are leased under "net" leases which
are accounted for as operating leases. The leases have initial terms ranging
from 10 to 19 years, and the leases generally have two or more multiple-year
renewal options. The Company earns fixed monthly minimum rents and may earn
periodic additional rents. The additional rent payments are generally computed
as a percentage of facility net patient revenues in excess of base amounts.
The base amounts, in most cases, are net patient revenues for the first year
of the lease. Certain of the leases contain provisions such that the
percentage of further revenue increases due to the Company as additional rent
is limited to 1% at such time as additional rent exceeds 41% of minimum rent.
Under the terms of the leases, the lessee is responsible for all maintenance,
repairs, taxes and insurance on the leased properties.
 
  Minimum future rentals on non-cancelable leases as of December 31, 1995 are
as follows:

funding in the aggregate amount of approximately $3,061,000 in accordance with
certain existing lease provisions. Such capital improvements will result in an
increase in the minimum rents earned by the Company.

(1) Most loans require monthly principal and interest payments at level amounts
    over life to maturity. Some loans are adjustable rate mortgages with
    varying principal and interest payments over life to maturity, in which
    case the balloon payments reflected are an estimate. Five of the loans have
    decreasing principal and interest payments over the life of the loans. Most
    loans require a prepayment penalty based on a percentage of principal
    outstanding or a penalty based upon a calculation maintaining the yield the
    Company would have earned if prepayment had not occurred. Three loans have
    a provision that no prepayments are acceptable.
(2) The aggregate cost for federal income tax purposes is approximately
    $143,240,000.

15. DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS.
 
  The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
of each class of financial instruments.
 
 Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
  The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of
those instruments.
 
 Mortgage Loans Receivable
 
  Fair values are based upon the estimates of management and on rates on
currently prevailing for comparable loans.
 
 Long-Term Debt
 
  The fair value of long-term debt is estimated based on the quoted market
prices for publicly traded debt and on the current rates offered to the
Company for debt of the same remaining maturity.
 
  The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments are as
follows:

     shall be unsecured; (d) in connection with the incurrence or issuance of
     any 1996 Indenture Indebtedness, no covenant (financial or otherwise) shall
     be imposed upon, or agreed to by, the Borrower that is more restrictive (in
     the judgment of the Majority Banks) than the covenants set forth in this
     Agreement; and (e) prior to the effectiveness thereof, the Majority Banks
     shall have approved, in their sole discretion, each supplement or amendment
     to the 1996 Indenture.

                              INDEMNITY AGREEMENT
                              -------------------

          This Agreement is made as of the _____ day of July, 1995, by and
between Nationwide Health Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation ("NHP"), and
_____________________ (the "Director"), with reference to the following facts:

          The Director has been elected as a Director of NHP and NHP wishes the
Director to continue in such capacity.  The Director is willing, under certain
circumstances, to continue serving as a Director of NHP.

          In order to induce the Director to continue to serve as a Director of
NHP and in consideration of his continued service, NHP hereby agrees to
indemnify the Director as follows:

          1.  NHP will pay on behalf of the Director and his executors or
administrators, any amount which the Director is or becomes legally obligated to
pay because of any claim or claims made against him as a result of any act or
omission or neglect or breach of duty, including any actual or alleged error or
misstatement or misleading statement, which he commits or suffers, or committed
or suffered prior to the date hereof, while acting in his capacity as a Director
of NHP.  The payments which NHP will be obligated to make hereunder shall
include judgments, penalties, fines, settlements, and reasonable expenses
actually incurred by the Director in connection with the proceeding, including
attorney fees, claims or proceedings and appeals therefrom, and costs of
attachment or similar bonds; provided, however, that NHP shall not be obligated
to make any payment

                                       1
<PAGE>
 
hereunder which it is prohibited from paying as indemnity, or for any other
reason, under federal or state securities laws or any other applicable law.

          2.  If a claim under this Agreement is not paid by NHP, or on its
behalf, within thirty days after a written claim has been received by NHP, the
Director may at any time thereafter bring suit against NHP to recover the unpaid
amount of the claim and if successful in whole or in part, the Director shall be
entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim.  It is
specifically understood and agreed that expenses incurred by the Director in
defending any claim shall be paid or reimbursed by NHP in advance of the final
disposition thereof upon receipt by NHP of (i) a written affirmation by the
Director of the Director's good faith belief that the standard of conduct
necessary under Paragraph 4 hereof for indemnification was met, and (ii) a
written undertaking by or on behalf of the Directors to repay advanced amounts
if it shall ultimately be determined by judgment or other final adjudication
adverse to the Director that the standard under Paragraph 4 hereof has not been
met.

          3.  In the event of payment under this Agreement, NHP shall be
subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the
Director, who shall execute all papers required and shall do everything that may
be necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents
necessary to enable NHP effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
          4.  NHP shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment
in connection with any claim made against the Director:

               (a) if the proceeding was one by or in the right of NHP and the
          Director shall have been adjudged to be liable to NHP.

               (b) for which payment is actually made to the Director under a
          valid and collectible insurance policy, except in respect of any
          excess beyond the amount of payment under such insurance, and any
          applicable deductible;

               (c) for which the Director is entitled to indemnity and/or
          payment by reason of having given notice of any circumstance which
          might give rise to claim under any policy of insurance, the terms of
          which have expired prior to the effective date of this Agreement;

               (d) in any proceeding in which the Director is adjudged to be
          liable on the basis that a personal benefit in money, property or
          services was improperly received by the Director;

               (e) for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale
          by the Director of securities of NHP within the meaning of Section
          16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and amendments thereto or
          similar provisions of any state statutory law or common law;

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
               (f) where the act or omission of the Director was material to the
          cause of action in connection with which indemnification is sought and
          (i) was committed in bad faith or (ii) was the result of active and
          deliberate dishonesty; or

               (g) where, in the case of any criminal proceeding, the Director
          had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission giving rise
          to the claim for which indemnification is sought was unlawful.

          5.   The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, or
settlement does not create a presumption that the Director did not meet the
requisite standard of conduct.  The termination of any proceeding by conviction,
or a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or an entry of an order of
probation prior to judgment, creates a rebuttable presumption that the Director
did not meet that standard of conduct.

          6.   The Director, as a condition precedent to his right to be
indemnified under this Agreement, shall give to NHP notice in writing as soon as
practicable of any claim made against him for which indemnity will or could be
sought under this Agreement.  Notice to NHP shall be given at its principal
office (or such other address as NHP shall designate in writing to the
Director), and shall be directed to the President; notice shall be sent by
certified mail return receipt with postage prepaid, or by facsimile or by
courier and shall be deemed received on receipt of facsimile or courier
confirmation or as

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
evidenced by a certified mail return receipt.  In addition, the Director shall
give NHP such information and cooperation as it may reasonably require and as
shall be within the Director's power.

          7.   This Agreement supersedes and replaces any prior agreement.  This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken
together shall constitute one instrument.

          8.   This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with Maryland law.

          9.   Nothing herein shall be deemed to diminish or otherwise restrict
the Director's right to indemnification under any provision of NHP's Charter or
Bylaws and amendments thereto, or under the Maryland General Corporation Law.
It is the intent of this Agreement that the Director herein shall be indemnified
to the fullest extent possible under the Maryland General Corporation Law, and
NHP's Charter and Bylaws, as the same may be amended from time to time.  This
Agreement shall in no way limit indemnification to the maximum extent permitted
by the Maryland General Corporation Law.

          However, to the extent that this Agreement, or NHP's Charter or Bylaws
provides for indemnification or other rights in addition to those of Section 2-
418 of the Maryland General Corporation Law, such indemnification and/or other
rights shall be valid under Section 2-418(g) of the Maryland General

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
Corporation Law, unless expressly limited by the Maryland General Corporation
Law or other applicable law.

          10.  In case one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement
(or any portion of any such provision) shall for any reason be held to be
invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality
or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement (or
any portion of any such provision), but this Agreement shall be construed as if
such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision (or portion thereof) had never
been contained herein.

          11.  This Indemnity Agreement shall be applicable during Director's
time of service as a Director and for any applicable limitations period
thereafter.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to
be duly executed and signed as of the day and year first above written.

       Period of Employment          Termination of Indemnity Payments
       --------------------          ---------------------------------
                                     (Amount equal to 100% Monthly
                                     Total Compensation for the number
                                     of months set forth below)

     Less than one year                           12 months
     One year or more                             24 months
     Three years or more                          36 months

          The maximum period of Termination Indemnity Payments shall be thirty-

<PAGE>
 
          Payments of the Monthly Termination Indemnity Payments hereunder shall
be made at the regular pay period of the Company or in such other manner as may
be agreed upon by the Participant entitled to receive such payments and the
Compensation Committee.  Payments made to a Participant hereunder as Termination
Indemnity Payments shall be deemed to be compensation for services rendered for
all purposes and shall be subject to applicable Federal, State and local tax
withholding and deduction requirements.

          If during the period a Participant is receiving Termination Indemnity
Payments under this Policy such Participant makes any false statement or
conducts himself in a fraudulent or dishonest manner which materially and
adversely affects the Company, the Board may terminate all payments hereunder.

          7.   OTHER COMPANY EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS.
               --------------------------------- 
               Participants entitled to receive Termination Indemnity Payments
under this Policy shall be entitled to participate in certain employee insurance
plans (as described below) during the period the Termination Indemnity Payments
provided for herein are being paid. During the period of a Participant is
receiving payments hereunder, he shall be treated as a continuing employee for
purposes of participation in and accrual of rights and benefits under all of the
Company's life, accident, medical and dental insurance plans of Participant and
his spouse; however, he shall not be entitled to medical or dental coverages for
himself or his spouse if such medical or dental coverages are provided under any
other group plan or by another employer. In the

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
event that such participation in one or more of such Plans is not possible,
Company shall arrange to provide Participant with benefits substantially similar
to those which Participant would have been entitled to receive under such plans
if he had continued as an employee at the Total Compensation level; however, he
shall not be entitled to medical or dental coverages for himself or his spouse
if such medical or dental coverages are provided under any other group plan or
by another employer.  Benefits of continued participation in the Company
Retirement Plan and any retirement plans hereafter adopted in which Participant
was entitled to participate prior to date of termination (hereinafter referred
to as the "Plans") shall continue, provided, however, that if Participant's
continued participation is not possible under the general terms and provisions
of the Plans, Company shall arrange to provide Participant with benefits
substantially similar to those which Participant would have been entitled to
receive under the Plans if he had continued as an employee for the full term
provided in Paragraph 6 above at the Participant's Total Compensation level.
This paragraph is not intended to limit Participant's vested rights under any of
Company's retirement plans to a period of three (3) years or until age sixty-
five (65); rather, such rights shall continue pursuant to the terms of said
Plans.  Participants receiving Termination Indemnity Payments hereunder shall
not be entitled to continued participation in or accrual of benefits under any
Company stock option or restricted stock plan.  No stock option shall be granted
to such Participant under any Company stock option

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
plan after the termination of active employment; however, such Participant shall
have the benefits of all rights vested as of the date of termination of active
employment pursuant to the terms of said plans.

          A Participant receiving Termination Indemnity Payments under this
Policy shall be entitled to purchase at depreciated book value the automobile
(if any) which Company was providing for the use of such Participant.  Also,
such Participant shall have the option to have assigned to him any assignable
insurance policy owned by Company which relates specifically to such
Participant.  Company shall have no obligation to pay off any loans against such
insurance policies and such former Participant shall reimburse the Company for
the cash value of such insurance policies (if any).

          8.   OTHER EMPLOYMENT.
               ---------------- 
               After ceasing active employment with the Company or a subsidiary
of the Company, and during the period the Participant is eligible to receive any
Termination Indemnity Payments hereunder, such Participant has an obligation to
use his best efforts to seek other employment, and shall have the right to
accept other employment or engage in other business activities subject to the
restrictions set forth in Paragraph 9 below (relating to Conflict of Interests).
One-half (1/2) of all salary, bonus, other remuneration and the fair market
value to Participant of fringe benefits from any such new employment shall be
deducted from or set off against Termination Indemnity Payments and other
benefits provided in this Policy.

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
          9.  CONFLICT OF INTEREST.
              -------------------- 
              During the period a Participant is entitled to receive Termination
Indemnity Payments hereunder, such Participant shall not, without the prior
written consent of the Company, engage directly or indirectly (including, by way
of example only, as a principal, partner, venturer, employee or agent), nor have
any direct or indirect interest, in any business which competes with the Company
or any of its subsidiaries in any area of the world in which the Company or such
subsidiary engages in business at the time of termination of the Participant's
active employment with the Company. Included within the meaning of an indirect
interest for purposes of this Policy would be, by way of example only, an
interest in any such business held through a nominee, agent, option or other
device. The foregoing clause does not apply to an investment by any Participant
in the stock of a publicly held corporation if the market value of such
investment at the time the Participant acknowledges this Policy and the
provisions hereof (if then owned) or when acquired by such Participant (if
acquired after the date of such acknowledgment) does not exceed One Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($100,000) or to any investment by such Participant in a mutual
fund.

          If Participant directly or indirectly discloses to any third person
any confidential records or information, trade secrets or customer list relating
to Company's business, Participant's right to Termination Indemnity Payments
hereunder shall terminate immediately (in addition to any other remedies that

                                       10
<PAGE>
 
Company may have).

          10.  CONSULTATION FOR COMPANY.
               ------------------------ 
               During the period Participant is entitled to receive Termination
Indemnity Payments hereunder, he shall be available at reasonable times and upon
reasonable notice to consult with and advise officers and executives of the
Company regarding the business and affairs of the Company; provided, however,
that such consultation and advice shall be scheduled and arranged so that it
does not interfere unreasonably with any other employment or business activities
of Participant.

          11.  AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF POLICY.
               ---------------------------------- 
               The Company reserves the right to alter, amend or revoke this
Policy prospectively at any time prior to a Change of Control, by notice to the
Participants, but no such alteration, amendment or revocation shall be made
after a Change of Control except with the express prior written consent and
agreement of such Participant. Nothing herein shall entitle any Participant to
continued employment with the Company or to continued tenure in any specific
office or position.

          12.  TERMINATION OF TERMINATION INDEMNITY PAYMENTS.
               --------------------------------------------- 
               The Termination Indemnity Payments and all other benefits to
which any Participant is entitled hereunder shall terminate immediately if
following termination of active employment such person (1) breaches the Conflict
of Interest provisions in Paragraph 9 hereof, or (2) fails or refuses to consult
with and advise officers and other executives of the Company in accordance

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
with Paragraph 10 hereof, of (3) makes false statements or conducts himself in a
manner that in the reasonable discretion of the Board materially and adversely
affects the Company, or (4) reaches his sixty-fifth (65th) birthday.

          13.  ACKNOWLEDGMENT BY COMPANY OFFICERS.
               ---------------------------------- 
               Each officer of the Company to whom this Policy is to be
applicable shall be informed thereof by letter substantially in the form
attached as Exhibit "A" hereto and, as a condition to entitlement, shall
acknowledge in a writing substantially similar to the form of letter attached as
Exhibit "B" hereto that the Participant understands and agrees to be bound by
the provisions of this Policy. A list of the Participants shall be maintained by
the Secretary of the Company.

          14.  OTHER PROVISIONS.
               ---------------- 
               This Policy shall become effective as of February 8, 1990.  The
Termination Indemnity Payments provided hereby supersede and replace any and all
other termination compensation to which any Participant is or might become
entitled under any other policies or practices of the Company, except
termination compensation covered by an agreement in effect on the effective date
hereof which has separately been approved by the Compensation Committee.  The
rights and obligations of the Company under this Policy shall inure to the
benefit of and shall be binding upon the Company's successors and assigns.
References in this Policy to the male gender shall include the female gender.
In any action at law or in equity to enforce any of the provisions or rights
under this Policy, the

                                       12
<PAGE>
 
unsuccessful party to such litigation as determined by the court in a final
judgment or decree shall pay the successful party or parties all costs, expenses
and reasonable attorneys fees incurred therein by such party or parties
(including without limitation such costs, expenses and fees on any appeals) and
if such successful party shall recover judgment in any such action or
proceedings, such costs, expenses and attorneys fees shall be included as a part
of such judgment.  Paragraphs or other headings contained in this Policy are for
reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or
interpretation of this Policy.  To the full extent controllable by stipulation
of the parties, this Policy shall be interpreted and enforced under California
law.

NOTE:     This Policy is intended to remain outside the provisions of Section 67
          of the Tax Reform Act of 1984, as originally enacted (adding Sections
          28OG and 4999 and amending Sections 275(a) and 3121(v) of the Internal
          Revenue Code) (the "1984 Act").  Notwithstanding any other term or
          provision contained in this Policy, no Termination Indemnity Payment
          shall be made to any Participant in an amount which would subject any
          portion of such Termination Indemnity Payment, or any such Termination
          Indemnity Payment theretofore received by the Participant, to the
          excise tax provided in Section 67 of the 1984 Act.
